Speaker 2: to get that impression. I'm not offended you by I mean,
Speaker 2: even by the way you've said nothing offensive. But even
Speaker 2: if you did, I'm I'm not offended. I'm far more interested.
Speaker 2: I'm interested. That's that's the way I'm curious about the
Speaker 2: your perspective of of the gecko part. I'm not offended,
Speaker 2: but I'm not offend. I'm offended by really a lot.
Speaker 4: But right, Okay, good, I wish I could be the.
Speaker 2: Same the gecko part. All right, Well, hold on, so

Speaker 4: But anyway, I'm not doing it anymore. I'm not doing
Speaker 4: that work anymore and I don't have to get up
Speaker 4: and do it. So for now I'm just not doing it.

Speaker 6: Whatever, where I just I don't have.
Speaker 4: To please someone that I don't give a shit about.
Speaker 4: So I need to figure out what I do give
Speaker 4: a shit about and I'm kind of old to be

Speaker 4: have the high schoolers, and you know, no one's going
Speaker 4: to school anymore, so they we've all been home for
Speaker 4: quite some time, and I'm just I'm kind of liking

Speaker 4: I don't know, just stuff that I didn't have time
Speaker 4: for before.
Speaker 2: So anyway, No, I love it's it's it is a
Speaker 2: very attractive thing to be able to uh just you know,
Speaker 2: on a random eleven thirty am on a Tuesday, instead
Speaker 2: of you know, having to be this place at this time,
Speaker 2: just go on a walk, you know, go fucking just
Speaker 2: do whatever you want, right.
Speaker 4: Like, go hike this trail that you're moving backwards as
Speaker 4: a get Have.
Speaker 2: You been able to develop any uh? Have you made
Speaker 2: any Do you think stronger developments in your relationship with
Speaker 2: your kids at all? Now that you know they're you're
Speaker 2: spending a lot more time with them.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so, Yes, one of them's nodding his head. Yet, Yeah.
Speaker 7: I have and more with my friends too, and I
Speaker 7: have a husband and so we've been doing more fun
Speaker 7: stuff too. I don't know, it's been good. But then
Speaker 7: you wonder, you know, when are you gonna wake up and.
Speaker 4: Figure out the next thing. That's the hard part, because
Speaker 4: I don't want it to be the same. I don't
Speaker 4: want it to be the same it. I want it
Speaker 4: to be a different it.
Speaker 2: Well you know it sounds like, well it sounds like
Speaker 2: you're very much enjoying the thing that you're doing right now.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: I mean again, I'm not a real I don't know
Speaker 2: how much I'm not a real therapist or a real
Speaker 2: person or I'm a lizard made of code. But yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. I wouldn't stress to hard
Speaker 2: about what the next thing is, especially if you're having
Speaker 2: a good time in the current thing.
Speaker 4: Right So you're just saying be here now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like what you got going on now
Speaker 2: is great. I would spend as much time as you
Speaker 2: can just you know, really being in the moment of
Speaker 2: hanging out with your kids and of really enjoying your freedom,
Speaker 2: you know, because next is not even really ever guaranteed.
Speaker 4: True, That is true?
Speaker 3: True?
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, of course. How did your kids find me?
Speaker 4: Don't honestly, I don't know. They're trying to they want.
Speaker 4: I don't even know what you can talk about on this,
Speaker 4: but me what streaming is to inform me about streaming
Speaker 4: and that there are people who who do this and
Speaker 4: this is what they do and this is their it.
Speaker 4: And so you came up as.
Speaker 2: An example what sparked your interest in the world of streaming.
Speaker 4: Because because I've been told and I don't know if
Speaker 4: I believe it, but I've heard that, and I can
Speaker 4: hardly believe it. I really can hardly believe. And I
Speaker 4: have teenage boys and they sit and they watch people
Speaker 4: play games. And this is a monetized thing. You can
Speaker 4: make money as the person doing the thing. And I
Speaker 4: was told that it can even be as dumb as knitting,
Speaker 4: because okay, I like to knit just for a hobby.
Speaker 4: That's the thing that I like. Oh you can just
Speaker 4: sit there and knit and people will watch you. And
Speaker 4: I just cannot believe this. See this, what you are
Speaker 4: doing makes sense to me. I understand what you are
Speaker 4: doing because you're helping people, You're talking to them. But
Speaker 4: it's true though, because my kids do watch people play
Speaker 4: a game. They are not playing the game, they are
Speaker 4: just watching it. I don't know what to think about it,
Speaker 4: and so they're just showing me these things and I'm
Speaker 4: sort of flabbergasted by it. But you make sense to me.
Speaker 4: What you are doing makes sense to me. But watching
Speaker 4: the games, I can't have them that. But it's very popular.
Speaker 2: That's funny. I will tell you even I know, I
Speaker 2: will tell you as someone that does it, if flabbergasts
Speaker 2: me as much as it flabbergass you. Right, but people
Speaker 2: do it? Yeah, it's Do your kids have like favorite
Speaker 2: streamers they watch, like Fortnite or something like that.
Speaker 4: No, not that one. I don't know if they're overwatching Minecraft,
Speaker 4: that's what they're they're telling me. I know Fortnite is
Speaker 4: not a thing in their house, but I do know
Speaker 4: that overwatching and Minecraft is.
Speaker 2: People are out there making People are out there going
Speaker 2: fucking nuts making a billion dollars having other people watch
Speaker 2: them play Minecraft.
Speaker 4: It's a thing, and I can't understand that that would
Speaker 4: just make me go crazy, even as the person doing it.
Speaker 4: But I mean, I guess that the money was rolling
Speaker 4: in it wouldn't be so good.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Now, let me ask you, which is now the idea?
Speaker 2: Now you're now okay, I know that you're flabbergasted by it.
Speaker 2: But now if you can accept the fact that it
Speaker 2: is something that people do, yes, that is a has
Speaker 2: been proven to be lucrative for some people. Would you
Speaker 2: enjoy streaming just fucking sitting there and knitting?
Speaker 4: I would, I would do it, but I just cannot
Speaker 4: believe that it could. I would like to try it.
Speaker 2: You Oh my god, you gotta uh, you gotta start
Speaker 2: a stream. And by the way, I know that you
Speaker 2: were saying like, oh, I'm uh you know, I'm getting
Speaker 2: older and whatever that the I want you to know something.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I've this is probably the longest
Speaker 2: phone call taken tonight because and like a lot of people,
Speaker 2: you know, uh, are like, oh, I don't I don't
Speaker 2: want to stream or make tiktoks because I'm too old
Speaker 2: or I'm not like everybody's doing it. But but here's
Speaker 2: the thing. I think that that's your like that makes
Speaker 2: you more interesting, you know, like I'm talking to I'm
Speaker 2: I'm I'm more I'm interested in you because you're different
Speaker 2: from the like, you know, the average person who has
Speaker 2: been calling in. So to me, the idea that you know,
Speaker 2: when you go out like on a on a place
Speaker 2: like twitch or on a place like Reddit and you stream,
Speaker 2: I think you're more interesting because you're you're different. So
Speaker 2: so so these things that people are like, oh, I'm
Speaker 2: too old to do this, I think it's it's you're
Speaker 2: you're different from everyone else, and that's a reason you
Speaker 2: should do it.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's what my son says and he but I
Speaker 4: just it's hard to believe him. So we're doing we're
Speaker 4: doing research right now. So you're very you're helping me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, you gotta let us know where where where
Speaker 2: we can find your knitting stream because I'm in you're
Speaker 2: getting while we're gonna radio and shoot, try Reddit too
Speaker 2: because redd it's a great place for that kind of stuff. Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, Well, sorry if I talked to your ear
Speaker 2: off too much about that, but.
Speaker 4: No, you're you're a lovely cantle.

Speaker 8: dumb fancy cars I don't care about and fix them
Speaker 8: and come home and do the same ship that I
Speaker 8: always do. Sounds pretty boring, but.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: These are traditions.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Well do you do you consider routines traditions?
Speaker 8: Well, I would say so, I have one that you
Speaker 8: might find kind of interesting. Every day after work I
Speaker 8: get home and like sanitize one of the couches that
Speaker 8: I have, like burn some incense and like spray some
Speaker 8: for breeze on it and ship.
Speaker 9: I.
Speaker 8: Uh. I had a buddy of mine, uh leave rehab
Speaker 8: against medical advice, and he asked me if a friend
Speaker 8: of his and him could stay at my house since
Speaker 8: he had nowhere else to go. I said, yeah, sure,
Speaker 8: you know, I don't want him sleeping on the street.
Speaker 8: And his buddy, who I had met that night, fucking
Speaker 8: died on my couch.
Speaker 2: Oh god.
Speaker 8: So well, I mean I didn't know the guy. Uh,
Speaker 8: it's a little weird.
Speaker 2: And that must be uh traumatizing experience.
Speaker 8: Uh it was look especially weird because I didn't know
Speaker 8: when I walked right past the guy as I left
Speaker 8: to go to work.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 8: And then I like got a call when I was
Speaker 8: at work and I was like, do you know such
Speaker 8: and such And I was like, I know he was
Speaker 8: at your house and he's dead.
Speaker 4: I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 8: So yeah, that was a little weird, Like I hadn't
Speaker 8: like really I thought that I had seen a dead body,
Speaker 8: but I guess I had been a dead body because
Speaker 8: I like walked past one going to work in my
Speaker 8: living room on my couch. So like that couch is
Speaker 8: like kind of feels a little weird to me right now.
Speaker 8: But it was the first piece of furniture that I
Speaker 8: ever bought new with my own money. So I don't
Speaker 8: really want to get rid of it. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 8: really want to get rid of it. But it's like
Speaker 8: gotta be haunted.
Speaker 2: At this point, you think it's haunted.
Speaker 8: I'm going a dude died on it. I mean, there's
Speaker 8: got to be some sort of bad juju. I always
Speaker 8: lose at Mario Kart when I sit on that couch.
Speaker 2: That would suck to die and then get b ring
Speaker 2: car be put in the in the body of.
Speaker 8: A couch, right, I mean, there's a lot of cooler
Speaker 8: things you could be, like manifested into.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think like couch would be, you know,
Speaker 8: my number one. I don't know what would be my
Speaker 8: number one, but I don't think it would be a couch,
Speaker 8: especially in SCBs minimal.
Speaker 2: I mean, all right, so I know you didn't know
Speaker 2: this guy very well, but how did your friend react
Speaker 2: to all this?
Speaker 6: He was real fucked up?
Speaker 8: Yeah good. I mean my buddy Chris met him in
Speaker 8: rehab and convinced this dude to leave with him. And
Speaker 8: then when he died. He was like fucked up because
Speaker 8: you know, he convinced this guy to leave rehab and
Speaker 8: then also convinced him or like said that it was
Speaker 8: cool if he stayed at my house and told me
Speaker 8: that it was gonna be cool if he stayed at
Speaker 8: my house, and then I had a dead guy on
Speaker 8: my couch. And you know, he told this kid, life's
Speaker 8: going to be cool if you leave rehab, and then
Speaker 8: he fucking died. So kids stay in rehab. Rehabs a
Speaker 8: good thing.
Speaker 2: I second that sentiment. Yeah, well, thank you for sharing.
Speaker 8: Ann anytime, you know, next time someone on my cause,
Speaker 8: I'll let.

Speaker 2: this is a side note, but I thought all the time,
Speaker 2: like what if I just wanted to like fucking move
Speaker 2: to Peru and keep doing the stream. But I was cold,
Speaker 2: my fucking cool voice work.

Speaker 5: Uh I don't know.
Speaker 9: So it's kind of an intense program. We spent a
Speaker 9: lot of time together, and I don't know, it's kind
Speaker 9: of weird to be a student in your thirties, and
Speaker 9: I think I just kind of assumed it was never
Speaker 9: gonna like happen for me. Like family planning, trials wise,
Speaker 9: and then I met this person.
Speaker 13: I was super excited.
Speaker 9: And we were together for three years, and COVID and

Speaker 9: a breaking point.
Speaker 4: And now here, I am.
Speaker 2: How did you how to COVID push things to the
Speaker 2: to a breaking point? I don't.
Speaker 9: I mean, I've done my best to like be self
Speaker 9: reflective about it.
Speaker 4: And then I mean, I don't know, spending.
Speaker 9: A lot of time in one tiny space with another
Speaker 9: person for months and months at the time, it's like
Speaker 9: a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, I mean you're a globe trotter type
Speaker 2: of person, Isn't that? Is that what you guys wanted?
Speaker 2: Is that what you wanted? Was it? Was it? Do
Speaker 2: you want to settle down and have kids?

Speaker 9: who I was. And then like, yeah, they say that
Speaker 9: shit happens in your brain when you hit like thirty
Speaker 9: if you're a lady. And then suddenly I was just
Speaker 9: thinking about it all the time, and I like never
Speaker 9: wanted kids, and then suddenly I had like I could
Speaker 9: see a path forward into that kind of life. And
Speaker 9: it doesn't I don't know, it doesn't fit me at all.
Speaker 9: But at the same time, it's sort of this thing
Speaker 9: that I just wanted so much with this one person
Speaker 9: and that's gone. I'm kind of like, well, shit, now
Speaker 9: what the fuck do I do?
Speaker 14: Well?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: Uh? What the fuck do you do? What is your plan?
Speaker 2: What have your thoughts to do.
Speaker 9: That I don't know? Like my plan was called therapy echo.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 9: I've got as far as coming up with like good
Speaker 9: reasons not to like return home with my tail between
Speaker 9: my legs, like keep doing this Europe thing, finish my degree,
Speaker 9: try to make a life for myself here, even if
Speaker 9: it's hard.
Speaker 2: But then, like you've been there for four years, would
Speaker 2: you already say that you have a life for yourself.
Speaker 3: In a way?
Speaker 9: But it's I don't know, man, Like there's one kind
Speaker 9: of life. There's the life that you have with the
Speaker 9: like your friends, and then there's that other kind of life,
Speaker 9: that adult kind of life that you have with like
Speaker 9: I don't know, a person that you choose to like
Speaker 9: exchange genetic material with, and like, fuck, dude, I don't know.
Speaker 9: There's there's just something very like odd about that whole equation.
Speaker 9: I could have a life here, I could have a
Speaker 9: cool life. I could go out, I could have friends,
Speaker 9: I could live in Spain. Spain's beautiful. But at the
Speaker 9: same time, I just feel like bigly deficient if I
Speaker 9: don't do this other thing that is still like classically human.
Speaker 2: Well, by the way, I'm not I totally fucked up
Speaker 2: starting advice show because I actually have no real advice
Speaker 2: to offer anyone. But hit, what was I gonna say?
Speaker 2: This site this thing that you want to, like you
Speaker 2: have a kid? Where Here's all I would say if
Speaker 2: I were thinking about this, if I were you, like,
Speaker 2: I would look at your desires and like really cut
Speaker 2: to the bone of like where do they come from?
Speaker 2: Because look, you could examine your desire to have a
Speaker 2: kid and be like, this is something I really want
Speaker 2: to do, or maybe you cut to the bone of
Speaker 2: it and you're like, this is something I really feel
Speaker 2: like women my age are should do. Which are those
Speaker 2: two completely different motivations? You know, you might I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I might be speaking preemptively. You might
Speaker 2: have already kind of done that thought process, But that
Speaker 2: would be the first sort of thing I would consider doing.
Speaker 2: Is really just doing some detective work on your own
Speaker 2: desires and where they come from and if it's from
Speaker 2: you or from more so societal expectations.
Speaker 9: I mean, that's valid. It's probably a thing I need
Speaker 9: to do, I guess. At the same time, it's kind
Speaker 9: of like, I don't know. I think the conception of
Speaker 9: like what makes the lady a valid lady and me
Speaker 9: having like a baller career is not going to put
Speaker 9: me in that camp.
Speaker 2: On the other day, who who decides what makes someone
Speaker 2: a valid lady?
Speaker 5: Dude?
Speaker 9: If we're being real, like, I can have a great career,
Speaker 9: but I'm never going to be able to Like, I
Speaker 9: don't know, there's just something slightly sucked about a woman
Speaker 9: with no kids with a career. I've experienced it myself,
Speaker 9: like having female bosses that didn't have kids, and.
Speaker 2: Upon your female bosses that didn't have kids, like, what
Speaker 2: did you think about them?
Speaker 9: I sometimes got the vibe that like their job was
Speaker 9: all there was and it was this thing that they
Speaker 9: put all of their energy and like self worth into.
Speaker 9: And I don't want to be in that position where
Speaker 9: my job is the thing that I put all my
Speaker 9: energy and self worth into, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I yeah, you know, i I'm like pretty I agree
Speaker 2: with you on like the diversification of your life portfolio,
Speaker 2: you know, trying to make sure that you're not staking
Speaker 2: everything on your your work. But I mean, look, this
Speaker 2: is by the way. Also, like, dude, you're only thirty five,
Speaker 2: You're not fucking sixty. You know you could still meet
Speaker 2: you haven't. You haven't a run out the time to
Speaker 2: go meet people and to meet you know, go on dates.
Speaker 2: There's plenty of people that are over thirty that are dating.
Speaker 2: You know, you're not. You're not the only one in
Speaker 2: that camp. You know now, you're not. You're not You're
Speaker 2: not doomed. If that's what you want to do, It's
Speaker 2: not too late. I think thirty five is pretty young. Okay,
Speaker 2: well look you're young. Look, I you're fucking young until
Speaker 2: you're dead. If you were dead, it would be it
Speaker 2: would be too late. I think.
Speaker 9: Okay, thank you. I guess that's my advice for fuck
Speaker 9: just don't be dead.
Speaker 2: Don't be dead. Well, uh, would you say your name was?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well you have a good rest of the night.
Speaker 9: Sam, Thank you, goodbye.
Speaker 2: All from Malfoy, Malfoy and then Malfoy.
Speaker 1: Hello, Yes it's Malfoy. Wait hold on, let me turn
Speaker 1: off my stream.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry yeah, yeah, I'll wait.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that was pretty loud. I could barely even
Speaker 1: hear you. All Right, we're good now, how you doing, man,
Speaker 1: I'm all right?
Speaker 2: Are you are? You're not the same guy? Are you?
Speaker 2: You're not the Draco guy? Are you?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I tried. I figured I can't beat Draco and chat.
Speaker 1: I wants Draco so bad, but I could be like close.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't like that strategy, and I'll tell
Speaker 2: you why, Well, what's your name?
Speaker 1: Ice cream?
Speaker 2: Ice cream? I because you you called it. You tried
Speaker 2: to be the second best thing to Draco, but ice cream.
Speaker 2: You could have been the first ice cream.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it was more of like a joke.
Speaker 1: I guess like it was. It wasn't really like even
Speaker 1: a joke. I don't know how to describe it, like
Speaker 1: just sort of like a little like witty thing, like
Speaker 1: because I tried to come up with a name, and
Speaker 1: then I saw everybody was saying Draco, so it maybe
Speaker 1: it was just like a word association thing more than anything.
Speaker 1: It just said mouthfoy.
Speaker 2: Do you have any traditions ice cream?
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of some traditions. I guess Chinese
Speaker 1: food on Christmas is a big family tradition nice watching
Speaker 1: the therapy get go and eating Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
Speaker 1: It's a tradition for me and chips.
Speaker 2: Are you are you? Are you?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 2: What was the theme of your bar mitzvah?
Speaker 1: I didn't have a bar mitzvah, but I tell you
Speaker 1: about I can tell you about a really fun bar
Speaker 1: mitzvah that that I went to. P Yeah, So I
Speaker 1: babysat this kid, Harrison, and and I guess because you
Speaker 1: know what, I couldn't even tell you. Maybe his family
Speaker 1: invited me to be polite because I was just like
Speaker 1: his babysitter, and and so I went and it was
Speaker 1: really really nice, Like it was the nicest event that
Speaker 1: I had ever been to because this kid's family was
Speaker 1: super rich and like imagine like a wedding, Like it
Speaker 1: was a little bit nicer than a sweet sixteen, but
Speaker 1: like not as nice as a wedding.
Speaker 2: And I've been on the bars route.
Speaker 1: Dude, Okay, let me tell you right now. These guys
Speaker 1: they had so many different like little events and like
Speaker 1: activities that you could do, Like they had like a
Speaker 1: design your own beats where like you could go and
Speaker 1: they made Beats headphones for you that were like customized, wait.
Speaker 2: Like actual like actual fucking like Beats headphones. Yeah. It
Speaker 2: was every kid got fucking Beats headphones.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So I didn't want I didn't want to
Speaker 1: be rude because I was like seventeen or eighteen at
Speaker 1: the time, and it was all these like eleven, how
Speaker 1: old are you when you have apartments? But I'm not
Speaker 1: sure you're thirteen thirteen, right, So I didn't want to,
Speaker 1: you know, take away the opportunity for any of these
Speaker 1: kids to get beats. So I didn't have them. But
Speaker 1: I saw all the kids basically running away, like all
Speaker 1: excited after they got them, like you could get your
Speaker 1: name engraved and like different like symbols, like basically like
Speaker 1: emojis and stuff. And they all had their own beats.
Speaker 2: That's insane. They must have had, like they must have
Speaker 2: cost so much. How much is a fucking pair of beats?
Speaker 1: I mean now, I think they're a couple hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: This was this is a while ago. Maybe they were
Speaker 1: a little bit less popular, but even when they first
Speaker 1: came out, they were you know, Beats by Dre you know,
Speaker 1: like it was that name, you know, still expensive. The dinner.
Speaker 1: The dinner was amazing. I had I had Fila mignon
Speaker 1: because how could I not have Sila mignon if I
Speaker 1: saw that on the menu and it was free?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What were some of the other activities?
Speaker 1: Oh, they had like you know, like the thing that
Speaker 1: you do at like David Busters, where like you throw
Speaker 1: the basketballs in the hoop and then they like rolled
Speaker 1: down the thing.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like they had a couple of those on carts that
Speaker 1: they like wheeled in. They had they had like an
Speaker 1: hour where there was a comedian and and like uh
Speaker 1: and a magician and they had like this little thing
Speaker 1: that they did together, like an ad.
Speaker 2: Book Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 1: Because you imagine that music is the most Jewish event
Speaker 1: of all time. That would be amazing. That would be great.
Speaker 1: I would have loved that.
Speaker 2: They had a comedian a magician. Who who was the comedian?
Speaker 1: I can't remember now.
Speaker 2: It was just a comedian, No.
Speaker 1: It was it was like who you call for like
Speaker 1: a kid for Mitzvah.
Speaker 15: It was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like Uncle Magic and and you know
Speaker 1: whatever the clown or whatever his name was, It wasn't
Speaker 1: really them. I'm just that would have been awesome. If
Speaker 1: it was them, but it was it was something along
Speaker 1: those lines, you know.
Speaker 2: Okay, they had a they had a comedian, a magician. Damn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those were the main highlights of it. It was
Speaker 1: a pretty good time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. I guess after that you were like,
Speaker 2: this was when you were seventeen. But damn, that's a
Speaker 2: crazy ass bar mitz for the what All?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: So you were so you were you were you were
Speaker 2: the baby, okay, but you were the babysitter of this
Speaker 2: these kids parents, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I was the babysitter of the kid.
Speaker 2: Did you make Did they pay you a lot of
Speaker 2: money to babysit?
Speaker 1: Yeah? They did. They paid me a lot. They would
Speaker 1: pretty much always round up whatever I would. I would
Speaker 1: go over for like four or five hours, and they
Speaker 1: would round it up to like one hundred dollars, like
Speaker 1: he just you know, pull a hundred dollar bill out
Speaker 1: of his wallet. Because they were the kind of ridge
Speaker 1: that to like show it off, you know. One time
Speaker 1: that my favorite thing, my favorite thing ever about them
Speaker 1: being super rich was the one time that they sent
Speaker 1: me home in their limo because they got home from
Speaker 1: some events super late at night, at like four o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning and they were drunk and and and
Speaker 1: a lot of the time the dad would drive me home,
Speaker 1: but he just couldn't that night, so he was like
Speaker 1: he ext the limo driver to just bring me home.
Speaker 1: And it was so funny because the limo was stocked
Speaker 1: out with with all of like the snacks and like
Speaker 1: drinks that they would have in their house. So it's
Speaker 1: so funny because it literally was like a like a
Speaker 1: miniature pantry of like the same stuff that they had
Speaker 1: in their house in the backseat of the limo. And
Speaker 1: I was thinking, like, they really live comfortably and here
Speaker 1: like that that specific fact that they had the snacks
Speaker 1: in the drinks.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was the exact same ship that they had,
Speaker 2: Like they know their.
Speaker 1: Brands, yes, exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well tell me I want to give me. I
Speaker 2: want to hear an item that they had that you're like, what,
Speaker 2: how the fuck they have like this?
Speaker 1: It was the Pate Pets chocolate chip cookies, a specific
Speaker 1: brand of those rainbow cookies. The Spefeater Gin was the
Speaker 1: specific liquor I remember, because who even drinks gin? Like
Speaker 1: that's gross?
Speaker 2: But what do they do? What do these people do?
Speaker 1: The father is he was a Oh he was What
Speaker 1: kind of doctor was he? I think he was a dentist,
Speaker 1: but I could be wrong.
Speaker 2: Make that much money as a dentist?
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, So he had moved on from being
Speaker 1: a dentist. I could be wrong about the specific practice,
Speaker 1: but he had moved on since and had opened several
Speaker 1: of his own I guess he had made such a
Speaker 1: good name for himself that he was able to open
Speaker 1: several practices. And he basically was more of.
Speaker 2: More of like a managmentist Empire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he was like the Empire guy.
Speaker 2: He was the franchise guy.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: I had a bar Mitzvah, Burt Mitzvah was at Dave
Speaker 2: and Busters.
Speaker 1: No way, it's awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was well because like I wasn't friends with
Speaker 2: any girls at the time, and like I think I
Speaker 2: think I got one girl on my mitzvah and I
Speaker 2: feel like dancing is like and most of the moments
Speaker 2: was like dance parties, but like a bunch of like
Speaker 2: middle school boys, they don't want to dance, they just
Speaker 2: want to play video games. It was a good time.
Speaker 2: He's fun. I'm glad. I'm glad we did it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really sad since you brought up David Busters,
Speaker 1: because my goal for for the New Year twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one was going to be the year I win a
Speaker 1: PS five at David Busters and d n B is
Speaker 1: still closed because of.
Speaker 2: Look, ice Cream, when when it happens, I'm rooting for you,

Speaker 10: doing you know, Spence?
Speaker 2: I'm doing all right. My mom Mom in the city.
Speaker 2: I'm in the great country of Philadelphia, located in Canada, Missouri.
Speaker 13: Nice.
Speaker 2: Where do you live? What is your home? What street
Speaker 2: do you live? On what's your home address?
Speaker 16: I don't know if I want to give that out
Speaker 16: on the stream.
Speaker 2: I hope that's okay, that's perfectly fine. I respect your boundaries, Spence.
Speaker 2: You where do we go when we die?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 16: I don't think any of us really know, so uh
Speaker 16: we I guess we'll find out when we get there,
Speaker 16: or maybe we won't because none of us remember if
Speaker 16: we are from a past life. I mean, you can have,
Speaker 16: I guess, a past life experience.
Speaker 2: Do you do you have a hunch, Spencer of of
Speaker 2: what you might have been in a past life?
Speaker 16: Yeah, I actually do.
Speaker 8: I have.
Speaker 16: I have had one specific out of life experience, like
Speaker 16: out of body experience share, but I'd really rather not honestly,
Speaker 16: it was really yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I could get deep.
Speaker 16: Well, I mean, like if you if you really want
Speaker 16: to go into it. I think, as wild as it seems,
Speaker 16: I really think I was in the Holocaust.
Speaker 1: That yeah, but you know, and.
Speaker 2: So we're both I think we I'm kind of interested
Speaker 2: in this conversation.
Speaker 16: Now, Okay, what do you want to know about it?
Speaker 2: Do you you felt like you were in the Holocaust?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 16: So I had this one like experience in my life
Speaker 16: where I was like in a situation and it caused
Speaker 16: me to kind of flash back to what could have
Speaker 16: been in the Holocaust. But I guess it is the
Speaker 16: thought has crossed my mind since then that you know,
Speaker 16: it's possible that I've heard too many stories about the
Speaker 16: Holocaust and maybe I'm just telling myself I experienced it
Speaker 16: because the situation reminded me of the story.
Speaker 2: But after, did you have h h like ancestors or
Speaker 2: great grandparents and grandparents that were in the Holocaust?
Speaker 16: No, all, my all, My family was in America before
Speaker 16: that happened. So they're from Europe, but they're not they weren't,
Speaker 16: you know, they didn't experience those atrocities.
Speaker 2: M When did you have this experience?
Speaker 16: It was I would say two thousand and thirteen, around.
Speaker 6: Thirteen, I don't remember exactly.
Speaker 2: Do you know what what was? What was what was
Speaker 2: going on? Were you, I mean, were you on drugs?
Speaker 2: Were you like.
Speaker 16: No, no, no, So so this is actually it's it's interesting.
Speaker 1: So there's it was in I was in Israel at.
Speaker 16: The time, and I went to a weekend. There's this
Speaker 16: this weekend called well it's not necessarily on a weekend,
Speaker 16: but sometimes it does.
Speaker 6: Follow a weekend, and it.
Speaker 16: Happens to be this time it did, but it's called
Speaker 16: log Boomer and.
Speaker 15: It's it's a.
Speaker 16: Holiday where bonfires are whatever. And in Israel there's a
Speaker 16: grave site of a big rabbi and a lot of
Speaker 16: people like to go to kind of like a pilgrimage
Speaker 16: almost each year to the grave site. And for this holiday,
Speaker 16: so to speak, it's not, you know, always celebrated. I
Speaker 16: don't know if it's a very Orthodox kind of holiday.
Speaker 9: But.
Speaker 1: Are you are you there?
Speaker 15: I'm not, but I was raised Orthodox.
Speaker 17: Okay, so there are a plenty of The entire little town,
Speaker 17: which is on the mountain side in Israel, gets kind
Speaker 17: of like flooded with tourists, I guess, or pill pilgrims
Speaker 17: really for the weekend or for the holiday if it's not,
Speaker 17: you know, whenever it is, and they have organizations that
Speaker 17: give out a lot of like food and whatnot because
Speaker 17: there's everyone there and.
Speaker 16: They'll just feed that for free. But it was like
Speaker 16: a whole mess getting into the area where they fed everyone,
Speaker 16: where they were giving out this great food, and I
Speaker 16: remember like there was this gate or something, and as
Speaker 16: I like got to the edge, I heard like I
Speaker 16: got in and I heard the gate slam, and I
Speaker 16: turned around and I saw people like shaking the bars,
Speaker 16: and it just made me like in that instant flashback
Speaker 16: to like the Holocaust and those kind of scenes of
Speaker 16: like people being trapped in those I guess, I guess
Speaker 16: you would say, like behind bar is really like, you know,
Speaker 16: shaking on the gate.
Speaker 2: Have you spoken to like a rabbi about this?
Speaker 16: No, No, I have not. I've never I don't think
Speaker 16: I ever have.
Speaker 15: Interesting, Yeah, And it's it's funny because.
Speaker 2: What a rabbi would say about that. I mean, I'm Jews,
Speaker 2: I have I'm not I'm not Orthodox Jewish. I'm more
Speaker 2: sort of you know. I mean, I I haven't like
Speaker 2: really practiced that much since uh, you know, getting older.
Speaker 2: But uh, I'm I'm wondering if a rabbi would have
Speaker 2: a like some some kind of explanation of that.
Speaker 15: You know, it's a good question.
Speaker 16: I I I've definitely, like I have rabbis that I
Speaker 16: speak to every well, not any you know, regular time,
Speaker 16: but you know, different rabbis from different institutions I've been
Speaker 16: to in the past, like schools and and programs, but
Speaker 16: I've never brought it.
Speaker 6: Up with any of them.
Speaker 14: That's a good that's a good point.
Speaker 16: I should ask one of the you know, I've never
Speaker 16: I guess I've never wanted to delve into that topic
Speaker 16: with them and see where that led me.
Speaker 2: But didn't I hope I didn't coerce you into talking
Speaker 2: about something you want to talk about.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, not at all.
Speaker 16: I just think that, like, just as I was initially
Speaker 16: hesitant to discuss this here, I feel like with a
Speaker 16: rabbi it would be that much more intense. So I
Speaker 16: probably anytime I've thought about bringing it up.
Speaker 15: With like maybe not.
Speaker 16: Because I'm sure that there would be a religious uh
Speaker 16: interpretation of you know, well, if you know that, then
Speaker 16: how could you not be a religious Jew?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you really? I know you said you were raised Orthodox?
Speaker 2: Do you are? Do you practice now?
Speaker 5: Still?
Speaker 15: No, not at all.
Speaker 2: Okay, hmmm, that's an interesting story. I appreciate you sharing
Speaker 2: that with us. I have I haven't been to Israel yet.
Speaker 2: I want to do that when the pandemic ends. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've always heard that. I've always heard that, like you know,
Speaker 2: when or not when a first has been practic saying
Speaker 2: that much that goes back to Israel, like you get back,
Speaker 2: you get back into it or whatever. You have some
Speaker 2: sort of like a thing that that will connect with
Speaker 2: the walls and with the wall and ship.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean I would argue for any religion, Uh,
Speaker 16: it's really a mecca uh to go to there. Obviously
Speaker 16: if you're Muslim. I mean there's plenty of Muslims to.
Speaker 6: Live in Israel.
Speaker 16: I mean politics aside, it's obviously a lot of heritage
Speaker 16: from any any Muslim that's from there, and Christians as well.
Speaker 16: I would say I spent a couple of years there
Speaker 16: in programs like studying in Jerusalem, and I would say
Speaker 16: that there are plenty of other tourists from all their
Speaker 16: cultures and religions, and they come to all the sites.
Speaker 16: So you will see Christians going to the Jewish sites,
Speaker 16: and you will see jo some Jews going to the
Speaker 16: Christian sites as well, and there are plenty of things
Speaker 16: to see. So I mean I would recommend it as
Speaker 16: anybody that's interested. But also on that note, like you said,
Speaker 16: they get kind of like anybody who goes there because
Speaker 16: it's that religious land. I mean, if you think about it,
Speaker 16: I mean like if Jesus of Nazareth, which is in
Speaker 16: that region. Uh so even for Christians. Uh, I'm sure
Speaker 16: that it's a draw and it reminds people of their
Speaker 16: you know, their religion that they're brought off with, and
Speaker 16: it kind of gets you. They reinvigorated with it if you,
Speaker 16: I guess, you know, kind of let it go by.
Speaker 2: Who is her name was?
Speaker 16: I said, Ben, But I think he called me Spencer,
Speaker 16: So I'll go with Spencer from now.
Speaker 2: Ben Well spend Well, Ben Spencer, Ben Spencer. You know
Speaker 2: those names where the last name is also kind of
Speaker 2: a first name. I imagine that there could be a
Speaker 2: guy out there whose name is Ben Spencer that could
Speaker 2: be one of those. Well, Ben, thanks for thank you
Speaker 2: for sharing man. Uh yeah, if you ever, if you
Speaker 2: do decide to tell tell a rabbi about that experience,
Speaker 2: you know, let me let me know what what they
Speaker 2: what they would have to say.
Speaker 16: For sure, I will definitely call in again and give
Speaker 16: you enough take Ecko.
Speaker 15: I appreciate you taking call.
Speaker 2: Of course. You have a good night, Ben, have a
Speaker 2: great night.
Speaker 5: Oh bye oh aw from.
Speaker 1: Shattered Chimp kap.
Speaker 2: Shattered Chimp? Is that you?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 18: Wait, hold on, can you mute the things?

Speaker 2: in which to move?
Speaker 15: I found a found out abooted on a like a
Speaker 15: classified ad.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Now that's a lot of trust moving in
Speaker 2: with someone that you don't know. So so this relationship
Speaker 2: required a substantial sort of like you know, uh like
Speaker 2: alone or something like that. This relationship required a heavy
Speaker 2: amount of trust up front for both of you.
Speaker 15: Well, I mean it came with a damaged positive.
Speaker 2: But look, there's a lot more to you know, living
Speaker 2: with someone than just you know, a damage deposit. You know,
Speaker 2: you have to trust him that he's not going to
Speaker 2: invade your personal space, that's not going to be just
Speaker 2: a generally bad person to live with, you know, and
Speaker 2: he has to trust the same of you. So already
Speaker 2: your relationship, you know, sounds pretty strong. And he's he's
Speaker 2: he's helping you. Call into the Gecko show. You two
Speaker 2: are doing the thing together. It sounds like you've become friends.
Speaker 15: No hold on you got it fucked up. He didn't
Speaker 15: help me call in. He muted the thing for me.
Speaker 2: Watch, So you're both you're watching it together.
Speaker 15: Yeah, we're watching you on the TV. And then I
Speaker 15: had the thing going on my phone.
Speaker 2: All right, So you're together and you're doing you're doing
Speaker 2: an activity, you're watching a Twitch stream together.

Speaker 15: dog out during the day, things like that, we shoot
Speaker 15: the ship. We have beers together.
Speaker 2: You have dinner together.
Speaker 15: No, we have beers.
Speaker 9: I mean.
Speaker 15: Also, if I make a like a big dinner, I'll
Speaker 15: share it with Tony too.
Speaker 2: You know, it's very nice. Does Tony ever do anything
Speaker 2: nice for you?
Speaker 15: Yeah, you're damn right man. He always helps me out
Speaker 15: with my dog. He'll help me fix things like fix
Speaker 15: my car like shit. I mean, you got to appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Let me ask you something. If you moved out tomorrow, right,
Speaker 2: would you still keep in contact with Tony? Do you
Speaker 2: how much of your like friendship with Tony is is
Speaker 2: reliant upon you two living together? Do you think that? Actually?
Speaker 2: You know? Can I talk to Tony? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 15: Do you want Tony, Do you want to talk to
Speaker 15: the lizard Man?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to talk to Tony.
Speaker 15: Well, Tony doesn't really want to talk to you, apparently.
Speaker 2: But can I can you ask Tony why he doesn't
Speaker 2: want to talk to me?
Speaker 18: Cool show him.
Speaker 15: Stuff, But I'll say, did you hear him?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I didn't hear him.
Speaker 15: Oh god, wait, hold on, try again?
Speaker 1: Did?
Speaker 12: It's a cool show, but I'll stay out of the media.
Speaker 2: Is still the media? Yeah, I don't know if well,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not CNN, it's a it's a Twitch stream,
Speaker 2: it's Gecko show. The our thing.
Speaker 15: I don't know. I'm maybe like the computer lizard Man
Speaker 15: thing is a little bit high pressure.
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm so curious. I don't want to invade
Speaker 2: your your Tony's privacy, but I feel like he has
Speaker 2: secrets that he's hiding now and I'm a very nosy
Speaker 2: little lizards.
Speaker 15: Why, maybe good about how knows you you are?
Speaker 2: Sega?
Speaker 15: Maybe Tony doesn't care how knows you you are?
Speaker 2: You know what? I respect Tony's privacy.
Speaker 15: Yeah, you want to take like a moment for like
Speaker 15: an awkward uh chilenge?
Speaker 2: Well, I already did, but it wasn't awkward. It was
Speaker 2: just a silence for me.
Speaker 15: Wait wait, can I have just like for an awkward one?
Speaker 14: Would you mind?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: What what is it? I mean? I don't what do
Speaker 2: you mean by awkward? How would make this awkward for you?
Speaker 9: You?
Speaker 2: I mean? Look you, I mean look, things have the
Speaker 2: attribution that you want to give them, and I've chosen
Speaker 2: not to give any of my silences the awkward attribute.
Speaker 2: And if you want me to voluntarily give this silence
Speaker 2: an awkwardness and my perception of it, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to do that.
Speaker 15: No, don't already got it?
Speaker 2: Hey, shout a chimp. I appreciate you giving me your
Speaker 2: time this evening.
Speaker 15: Okay, right on, man, I love you all right, I
Speaker 15: love you too.
Speaker 2: Good night. I don't think they were really Canadian. I
Speaker 2: think that was Tony's secret. Something was up with them
Speaker 2: at the end. Or maybe I'm just jealous. Maybe I
Speaker 2: just wish them my roommate. Was that was that cool?
Speaker 2: That's probably it was jealous, because I want a cool
Speaker 2: Canadian roommate, makes meat dinner, takes my.
Speaker 5: Dog out all from Madison.
Speaker 2: Madison.
Speaker 4: Oh hi, how are you doing night?

Speaker 2: what's your life like? Madison?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 2: God?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 4: Interesting?
Speaker 2: Interesting? What's what's so interesting about it?
Speaker 4: Nothing? Well, sorry, I'm just nervous.
Speaker 10: I just.
Speaker 11: Me and my well it's just me and my grandma left,
Speaker 11: so me and her run a bar together at pool Hall.
Speaker 4: Have to deal with crazy people on a daily basis
Speaker 4: because of that.
Speaker 2: Interesting. What's what's the name? How did first of all,
Speaker 2: how did this get started? Was it like, did you
Speaker 2: two start the pool hall or was it a family
Speaker 2: business before then?
Speaker 11: No, it was a family thing. So my grandpa started
Speaker 11: it in eighty three with the business person and he
Speaker 11: passed away. Both of them did, and then it was
Speaker 11: just my grandma left and now it's me and her.
Speaker 2: Do you are do you do you just work there?
Speaker 2: Or do you like own it together?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 4: We own it together and I managed it for her.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Uh do you do you like it? Or
Speaker 2: just dealing with drunk people get tiresome to you?
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 11: I I play in like pool tournaments and stuff, and
Speaker 11: I played pool quite regularly, not like people think.
Speaker 4: But it's it's actually kind of hard.
Speaker 2: Pool. I don't think people thought the pool was pool
Speaker 2: was stoop. Do people give you ship for thinking that
Speaker 2: pool is? Do people give you ship thinking the pool
Speaker 2: is not hard?
Speaker 4: Oh? My god, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 11: The amount of guys that come in thinking that it's
Speaker 11: I don't know, the way to flirt is saying that
Speaker 11: they can beat me in pool while drinkingly talking to
Speaker 11: me is kind of funny.
Speaker 2: You got decide you got to start putting money on
Speaker 2: these games, dude, I do I do this? The episode
Speaker 2: of Drake and Josh where Josh hustles people in pool? Yeah,
Speaker 2: remember this? Or are you not? Or do you not?
Speaker 2: Do you not watch Drake and Josh?
Speaker 18: No?
Speaker 4: I remember that episode it's a lot of people think
Speaker 4: it's like how movies depict that, you know, a dingy.
Speaker 11: Place with smoke everywhere, people throwing money around. But it's
Speaker 11: actually it's kind of a nice community once you get
Speaker 11: into it, and a lot of go into pool quite honestly,
Speaker 11: a lot of.
Speaker 4: A lot of science and maths. Well it has to
Speaker 4: do with like physics.
Speaker 11: And geometry and stuff. Sorry I sound like a nerd, but.
Speaker 2: No, this is so so like are you so you're
Speaker 2: actually like when you're practicing for pool and you've got
Speaker 2: like a fucking pro tractor out like on the white
Speaker 2: ball and ship measuring stuff.
Speaker 11: Not necessarily but with each Like so, if you've ever
Speaker 11: looked at a pool table, you ever noticed the little
Speaker 11: dots around the wooden part. Yes, that's actually to calculate
Speaker 11: the different degrees for the angles. So like if you
Speaker 11: were to bank a ball into another hole, you would
Speaker 11: you wouldn't break out a protractor, but you'd guestimate the
Speaker 11: angle and sometimes you have to adjust the angle depending
Speaker 11: on what type of the table.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I think it's cool.
Speaker 2: Isn't that cheating? Like in the in the pro pro
Speaker 2: pro tournaments, do they still have the white dots.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they do.
Speaker 2: Isn't that kind of cheating? Wouldn't it be more hardcore
Speaker 2: to like just like be able to like memorize where
Speaker 2: the shit is with the angles?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I guess it would be, But not a lot
Speaker 11: of people really take the time to.
Speaker 4: Figure all of it out. It's actually kind of fucking hard.
Speaker 2: Well, tell me, Madison, what who you were? You were
Speaker 2: complaining earlier about like having to deal with drunk annoying people.
Speaker 2: Who's like one of the most annoying fucking people you've
Speaker 2: had to deal with doing this?
Speaker 4: There's very many, but just the other night. Okay, Well,
Speaker 4: I've had.
Speaker 11: To call the cops twice in one week recently, and
Speaker 11: one was because this man I had barred, uh decided
Speaker 11: to uh come in the bar and want to fight
Speaker 11: me because I had barred him. And then another instance
Speaker 11: it was, uh, just some drunk dudes screaming at people,
Speaker 11: and I asked him to believe he picked up a
Speaker 11: TV remote and threw me dead or hit me dead
Speaker 11: in the chest. Yeah, but uh, yes, you know, people
Speaker 11: get crazy, especially when they drink.
Speaker 2: Nothing scarier than someone who's been banned because they're what
Speaker 2: the because they are they're invincible. What the fuck are
Speaker 2: they gonna do? Are they gonna get double banned?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 11: And dude, like I'm not, I'm not easily shaken up
Speaker 11: by any means, you know, like didn't really didn't really
Speaker 11: grow the best.
Speaker 4: But I'll tell you what. That dude the other.
Speaker 19: Night, there is no color left in his eyes.
Speaker 4: He was so messed up.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, Oh you beat him up?
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no no.
Speaker 11: I called the cops, which I don't like to do,
Speaker 11: but you know, I live in Florida, so you got
Speaker 11: to call the cops sometimes.
Speaker 2: Jesus. Well, uh, it's interesting none of these people shake
Speaker 2: you up. I mean, have you ever had people like
Speaker 2: threaten you? You just don't care when people threaten you
Speaker 2: with shit?
Speaker 11: Not really, I'm not trying to really sound like a
Speaker 11: like a tough guy here, but I feel like certain
Speaker 11: life experiences of how to dealt with were more scarier
Speaker 11: than an angry little man that doesn't know how to
Speaker 11: go to therapy.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've got people wait on out of the
Speaker 4: parking lot for me by my car and stuff, but
Speaker 4: I all to take care of myself.
Speaker 8: So jeez.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I'm glad you mentioned. I'm glad you
Speaker 2: got to mention that part about it being a uh
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, a positive community. I
Speaker 2: can see that with the tournaments and stuff bringing people
Speaker 2: together definitely. Well, thank you for sharing, Madison. You know.
Speaker 2: And there's there's an add on of grand theft. I
Speaker 2: don't know why I'm thinking about this or mentioning it,
Speaker 2: but there's an add on of grand theft, Auto four,
Speaker 2: The Lost and the Damned where you can you can
Speaker 2: use a pool que as a weapon. So I did
Speaker 2: just think of that.
Speaker 4: That used to be one of me and my dad's
Speaker 4: favorite games play together. Hell yeah, well you have a
Speaker 4: great I do. Did you just hear my cat?
Speaker 2: I did tell tell the cat? I said, hello, all right,
Speaker 2: thank you Madison. You have a good rest of the night.

Speaker 2: fucking sorry if I'm pronouncing his name wrong, but he's
Speaker 2: a good kid. He has this podcast out there called
Speaker 2: Teenager Therapy, and he does a sort of a similar
Speaker 2: thing to me. I think he's a little bit more
Speaker 2: sincere about it, but you know, I have my rule
Speaker 2: where I don't talk to anyone under the age of eighteen,
Speaker 2: and his whole demographic he's I think he's seventeen, and
Speaker 2: his demographic is helping other teenagers with you know, teenager problems.
Speaker 2: And you know, I liked what he was doing, and
Speaker 2: I wanted to tell you guys, especially if any of
Speaker 2: you guys listening to this are under the age of eighteen.
Speaker 2: I don't, like I said, I don't let anyone underage
Speaker 2: call into my stream. But check out this guy's show.
Speaker 2: It's Teenager Therapy on Apple podcasts and Spotify and on
Speaker 2: Instagram and Twitch and all that other stuff. So yeah,
Speaker 2: go check them out. And all right, that's enough. That's
Speaker 2: that's it for the by the way, and they didn't
Speaker 2: pay me to say that. I just thought he was
Speaker 2: a good kid. You know, I'm not over here taking
Speaker 2: money from children. They need it, all right, they're they're
Speaker 2: about to enter a terrible rough economy. Anyway, I don't
Speaker 2: know anything about the economy. I'm fucking stupid. All right,
Speaker 2: let's get back to the calls.
Speaker 5: Oh from Louise.
Speaker 15: Louise.
Speaker 2: Louise, hey man, how are you Louise?
Speaker 3: I'm doing good.
Speaker 2: How old are you? Louise?
Speaker 12: Twenty one?
Speaker 2: Why are you doing so good today? Louise?
Speaker 12: Well it was my day off, so of what day off?
Speaker 12: That's cool?
Speaker 2: Dove the enemies Louise, Well, so not person, but I.
Speaker 12: Would say time.
Speaker 2: Time.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so I don't know. I'm so I'm about to graduate, right,
Speaker 12: and it's really made me think a lot about time.
Speaker 12: So my family is like an immigrant family, right, mm hmm.
Speaker 12: So like my entire life, Michael has been to go
Speaker 12: to college. That's that's kind of what they've instilled done
Speaker 12: me to go to college and get a great job.
Speaker 12: And I'm about a month from graduation. Uh and I'm
Speaker 12: also like in the process of getting that, I've already
Speaker 12: interviewed with a very good company.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 12: And and so I've I'm basically waiting to get this
Speaker 12: job offer, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get it.
Speaker 12: It's gonna be a very good job offer.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 12: But uh so, like my entire life has been building
Speaker 12: up to this moment, right where I graduated and I
Speaker 12: get a good job and I make my parents proud, right.
Speaker 12: But now I'm like, me that your life after the school, right,
Speaker 12: Like there's more than just college.
Speaker 2: You're kind of you're kind of in the way of
Speaker 2: all right, you've been working, You've you've had this thing
Speaker 2: in mind, and your whole life has been like all right,
Speaker 2: you know, trying to get to that moment of getting
Speaker 2: that job, and now that you you're there, you're like, oh, fuck,
Speaker 2: now I have to actually do this thing.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and not just that, like I kind of have
Speaker 12: a choice of jobs so of course I'm not. I'm
Speaker 12: just not sure. You know, I'm kind of in the
Speaker 12: tech world. So the big question is kind of like
Speaker 12: whether I want to move to Austin or whether I'm
Speaker 12: not when it moves to California.
Speaker 2: Again, I'm not a real therapist or anything, but I mean,
Speaker 2: you're The thing that bothers me about this is the
Speaker 2: fact that your goal is intertwined with what your parents
Speaker 2: want for you. Well, and I'm curious if like you
Speaker 2: want something that contrasts with what your parents want.
Speaker 12: I mean, to be honest, not really like I really
Speaker 12: actually do like computer science. Yeah, I've never been much
Speaker 12: of an artist. Like I've tried to do music and stuff,
Speaker 12: but I've never been much of an artist.
Speaker 2: So I've been saying, like, I know that the classic
Speaker 2: uh narrative is, uh, parent wants son to be a doctor,
Speaker 2: But there's probably parents out there who want their kid
Speaker 2: to fucking be a musician but they want to be
Speaker 2: a doctor or you know, something like that. But so
Speaker 2: you like computer science.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I do. And what's kind of feel I'm going
Speaker 12: to So that's that's why. Uh, it's kind of like
Speaker 12: having to make a big life choice of where to
Speaker 12: accept this job whether I want to be in Austin
Speaker 12: or in California and like the inifications, or that I
Speaker 12: live in Dallas since very nearby. Yeah, and so I
Speaker 12: would be able to visit family if I was nearby,
Speaker 12: you know, Dallas and California is quite further away, but
Speaker 12: California would have slightly better like job outlooks, but I
Speaker 12: would be so much further away from family. So there's
Speaker 12: just a lot. And it's made me realize, you know,
Speaker 12: I have infinite choices in life with my night time sure,
Speaker 12: and I can only make you know, I can only
Speaker 12: go one down one path.
Speaker 2: You know, well, you actually I feel like you have
Speaker 2: more time than you think you do. I mean, I
Speaker 2: know that you're like twenty one, and so because you've
Speaker 2: lived such a small amount of time, you think that
Speaker 2: every year is fucking hut up with this. You don't
Speaker 2: have that perspective, But your life is a lot longer
Speaker 2: than you might think it is. So like you know,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't look at any of your choices as like permanent,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. If I had to make
Speaker 2: a gut decision, I think that you would be better.
Speaker 2: I mean it's hard, I don't know how old your
Speaker 2: family is, if it's like you know, you want to
Speaker 2: make sure you spend a little bit of time with them,
Speaker 2: or you know, if they're still young, then I would suggest,
Speaker 2: you know, and again I'm not telling you what to
Speaker 2: do or anything, but you know, i'd lean closer to
Speaker 2: the route of, you know, going off on your own
Speaker 2: and sort of building your own life separate from your family,
Speaker 2: because it does sound like they're kind of a little
Speaker 2: intertwained in your your business there. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: don't be afraid to sort of go out to California
Speaker 2: and set your own life apart from then.
Speaker 12: All right, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: But also don't ever listen to anything that crazy green
Speaker 2: man on the internet tells you.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that also makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: Thank you for calling in, Luise.
Speaker 12: Okay, yeah, thank you, thank you for doing the stream.
Speaker 2: Of course, I appreciate you calling in. You have a
Speaker 2: good night.
Speaker 12: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh nice guy.
Speaker 5: All from Eric.
Speaker 1: Hi Eric, Hello, how are you Eric?
Speaker 14: I'm doing pretty good. Surprised to that I got the call.
Speaker 8: Eric.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised you got the call too. I wasn't expecting
Speaker 2: to talk to you Eric. Yeah, him, you know who
Speaker 2: we are right now? Uh what we are two people
Speaker 2: who did not expect to be talking to each other
Speaker 2: that are now talking to each other on the phone.
Speaker 2: All right, do you agree with that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of agree with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why only kind of?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 14: I mean I guess I do agree with it.
Speaker 1: I was just like, uh, I don't know I agree
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What what did you do today?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 14: I don't even know?
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm did you do? Did you do something suspicious
Speaker 2: and you don't want to tell us? That's fine? If
Speaker 2: you did, you don't you don't owe me anything.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I uh.
Speaker 1: I did some stuff.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's awesome. If the as long as you didn't
Speaker 2: like kill.
Speaker 14: People, Yeah, no, no doing that it.
Speaker 2: Sounds you're making it sound like you like killed someone
Speaker 2: today or you sold drugs.
Speaker 15: I don't sell drugs.
Speaker 14: I don't I don't kill people.
Speaker 2: I don't think you kill people.
Speaker 1: Normal.
Speaker 2: But then again, like, but then again, like that's what
Speaker 2: someone who kills people would would would want you to
Speaker 2: think of them. I don't think, Like imagine someone who
Speaker 2: kills who kills people. You can't because it's lots of
Speaker 2: different kinds of people kill people. You know, so I
Speaker 2: can't just assume that there is that there is someone
Speaker 2: that kills people and that then that this is what
Speaker 2: they typically look like or sound like. I like, because
Speaker 2: we're on the phone right now.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I can't argue with you.
Speaker 20: With you there, I'm no danger all around us.
Speaker 2: There's these think there's danger all around us.
Speaker 14: I don't know's I guess. I mean that's pretty that's uh,
Speaker 14: I could get.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Eric, Yeah, what what? What?
Speaker 12: What?
Speaker 9: All?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: So assuming that there's danger all around us, right? What
Speaker 2: what particular kind of danger? Eric? Do you do you
Speaker 2: think is the most dangerous.
Speaker 20: H I'm gonna say, uh, bears to have done cocaine.
Speaker 2: Mm hm. You know, you know who's probably more dangerous
Speaker 2: than a bear who did cocaine? Who whoever, whoever gave
Speaker 2: that bear cocaine?
Speaker 3: Kay?
Speaker 2: Because they because they are the type of because if
Speaker 2: you I feel like, if you go out and you
Speaker 2: willingly give a bear cocaine, first of all, you're probably
Speaker 2: like some kind of cocaine kingpin. If you have enough
Speaker 2: cocaine left over, you can just give some to a bear.
Speaker 2: And then second of all, you're just going right up
Speaker 2: to a bear and going up to his nose and shit,
Speaker 2: that makes you pretty I would be scared of that person.
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 20: Who do you think would win a bear that did
Speaker 20: cocaine or like a tiger.
Speaker 14: That did cocaine?
Speaker 2: I feel like, all right, so if this were like,
Speaker 2: if we were like simplifying fractions here, we could probably
Speaker 2: just get rid of the cocaine part and just say
Speaker 2: who would win between a bear and a tiger? Would
Speaker 2: you agree with that? Or do you would you agree
Speaker 2: with that? Or do you think that the answer to
Speaker 2: who would win between a bear and a tiger and
Speaker 2: who would win between a bear and a tiger both
Speaker 2: on cocaine is different? Do you think the cocaine is
Speaker 2: an important variable? Because if it's not, we can simplify this.
Speaker 14: The cocaine is definitely a variable. I think like.
Speaker 2: For it to be an important variable, I think the
Speaker 2: answer to these two have to be have to be different.
Speaker 2: They answer these questions have to be different, all right,
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 15: Uh? How about uh?
Speaker 1: How about uh.
Speaker 14: Let's say if like a.
Speaker 1: Let's say, uh.
Speaker 14: Bear on cocaine versus tiger not on cocaine.
Speaker 2: You know what, actually, fuck it? I think the tiger
Speaker 2: wins either way. Because the tiger is agile. The tiger,
Speaker 2: the tiger is more agile than the bear I've seen,
Speaker 2: and tigers can like fuck up animals that are bigger
Speaker 2: than that. I think the tiger would fuck off the bear.
Speaker 2: Cocaine or not?
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, I got it.
Speaker 2: Also, I mean there hasn't been that. How many studies
Speaker 2: have there really been on how cocaine affects animals? How
Speaker 2: cocaine affects Uh, well, I guess we did. We gave
Speaker 2: a bunch of mice cocaine a while ago. But I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, we haven't really given a bear cocaine, so
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe that'll make maybe that makes them tired.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't know, like we've I feel like we
Speaker 14: haven't done any tastes on that.
Speaker 20: I feel like there's like some like animal right viola,
Speaker 20: Uh hey, I got a friend.
Speaker 14: He wants to know what your opinion on vampires?
Speaker 2: Did I tell your friend that I have no opinion
Speaker 2: on vampires?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 14: All right, they're they're watching the stream, they've been text
Speaker 14: they're texting me.
Speaker 2: They really can I ask why they want to know
Speaker 2: my opinion on I haven't And I'm not saying that
Speaker 2: to be a jerk. I'm saying that because I would.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'd be more of a jerk if
Speaker 2: I just came up with an opinion on the spot.
Speaker 2: But I really haven't done my due diligence and research
Speaker 2: on vampires to be able to give an informed opinion.
Speaker 20: I don't know.
Speaker 14: They seem very angry that you don't have an opinion
Speaker 14: on vampires.
Speaker 2: We'll let them be angry, all right. You can't please everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love you, Eric, I'll talk to you.
Speaker 1: Soon, all right, thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 5: From Christina.

Speaker 13: Probably me, I'm.
Speaker 19: A little bit less introverted.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I will hear both sides of the story.
Speaker 2: What's up? How did you two? What's your relationship? Are
Speaker 2: you dating? Are you siblings? Are you friends? Are you cousins?

Speaker 13: No, we're my boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Cool. I wish Matt was my boyfriend. How did you
Speaker 2: two meet.
Speaker 16: Bumble, all right.
Speaker 2: I like that because you went off the bad saying
Speaker 2: that you are more he's more introverted than you, So
Speaker 2: it kind of would make sense right that you met
Speaker 2: on bumble.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'll tell you the story. Actually, on our second date,
Speaker 13: I was trying to kiss in and we were in
Speaker 13: my car and he fell out of my car because
Speaker 13: I was trying.
Speaker 5: To kiss him and he did.
Speaker 4: He was scared of me.
Speaker 2: It's like some Michael Sarah ship.
Speaker 3: He was like.
Speaker 2: Packing away like he didn't.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, that was it.
Speaker 2: Why was it? Why was he afraid?
Speaker 4: I think I come on a little strong girl, scary.
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: How did what was your like opening line to him?
Speaker 13: Did you do anything spooky for Halloween?
Speaker 10: Matt?
Speaker 2: Did you do anything spooky for Halloween?
Speaker 3: Did?
Speaker 2: I know?
Speaker 4: Not really?
Speaker 15: I think I just said some bullshit.
Speaker 2: Largest fucking Adam's apple. I've ever heard. What is your tradition, Christina?
Speaker 2: My tradition?
Speaker 13: Well, actually we wanted to talk about our tradition, and
Speaker 13: our tradition is that like we don't do anything right together,
Speaker 13: Like all of our dates go wrong somehow, and we've
Speaker 13: been together for two years, and I think it's just
Speaker 13: kind of like brought us closer together. Like, so we
Speaker 13: we were trying to go to DC and this should
Speaker 13: really only be like an hour or two expedition. It
Speaker 13: took five hours for us to get to DUC because
Speaker 13: we missed the train. I had to file police report
Speaker 13: because there was some creepy guy like poking his head
Speaker 13: in the bathroom.
Speaker 2: There is a guy fucking his head in the bathroom.
Speaker 13: Yeah, he was a He was a worker at the
Speaker 13: I guess it's a metro.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: He wasn't like he wasn't like a sanitation worker cleaning it.
Speaker 13: He was a sanitation worker. And there was this like
Speaker 13: beautiful woman next to me standing and like powdering her
Speaker 13: nose or doing her makeup whatever, and he was trying
Speaker 13: to get a date with her. And I just felt
Speaker 13: so obligated to like like I've already washed my hands, man,
Speaker 13: I like I dried them. I was just like standing
Speaker 13: there trying to find things to do to make sure
Speaker 13: that this woman was okay, because the dude was giving off.
Speaker 4: A weird vibe.
Speaker 2: So how else have you tell me about? Okay, you
Speaker 2: said that none of your dates go correct.
Speaker 13: Okay, that might have been an exaggeration.
Speaker 2: Well, Okay, tell me which one has gone which one
Speaker 2: has gone the worst, the least correct, what's been the
Speaker 2: biggest misadventure.
Speaker 4: The worst.
Speaker 2: I want to hear from I want to hear the
Speaker 2: story from me.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, all right, all right, let's see which
Speaker 6: one has.
Speaker 8: Gone the worst?
Speaker 6: Which other one went wrong?
Speaker 3: I would say that one.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm kind of like Philadelphia.
Speaker 9: You know, we went to Philadelphia and we didn't really
Speaker 9: do anything but stay inside of there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we gotta.
Speaker 2: In Philadelphia and not really doing anything. We got every couple,
Speaker 2: every couple has a story about the time they went
Speaker 2: to Philadelphia and they didn't do anything.
Speaker 18: Yeah, we just went to Philly and ate food for
Speaker 18: three days and wasted money on an airbnb?
Speaker 13: What the food?
Speaker 2: What the fuck else do you do? No, that's not
Speaker 2: everywhere you go on vacation anywhere. All you do is
Speaker 2: walk around and eat food. That's not doing nothing. You
Speaker 2: just want That's what the fuck else were you gonna
Speaker 2: were you gonna do? That's what you do when you
Speaker 2: go to a new place, You walk around and you
Speaker 2: eat food there.
Speaker 9: So also with that trip, I had forgotten to refilm
Speaker 9: my adderall and.
Speaker 18: So I was basically part of the trip with me
Speaker 18: attending to Christina coming down from her ADHD medical You.
Speaker 2: Had to be the human adderall yeah. But I feel
Speaker 2: like you'd be good at that, Matt, because you got
Speaker 2: like the very you got a very chill vibe. I
Speaker 2: feel like you'd be good at calming down some ADHD people.
Speaker 1: I'd like that for you.
Speaker 2: He's Christina, Matt, thank you for regarding us with you
Speaker 2: with your misadventures here. I hope that your love blossoms
Speaker 2: for another five thousand halloweens.

Speaker 14: What about me.
Speaker 2: And Christian? I'll see you guys.
Speaker 5: Call from Miranda.
Speaker 2: To accept Miranda.
Speaker 4: Okay, whoa, hello, Hi?
Speaker 14: How are you?
Speaker 4: H I'm doing all right?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm chilling. I'm in the sky, Miranda. I have a
Speaker 2: question for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 2: Do you have any traditions?
Speaker 4: Mmmm?
Speaker 19: Oh, I hm, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2: I mean it's okay, We'll wait.
Speaker 19: I guess I guess. The tradition that I have is
Speaker 19: that for every Thanksgiving I eat breakfast food.
Speaker 2: You eat all right, that's interesting, for every Thanksgiving you
Speaker 2: eat breakfast food.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I eat breakfast food for every Thanksgiving, like pancakes
Speaker 19: and bacon, scrambled eggs.
Speaker 13: The works.
Speaker 2: But you don't, by the way, you don't mean every
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving you have breakfast and then later and that you
Speaker 2: have Thanksgiving dinner because.
Speaker 4: That's a copyiving Giving dinner.
Speaker 2: You have breakfast food.
Speaker 19: Yes, for Thanksgiving dinner, I have breakfast food.
Speaker 14: And how did this?
Speaker 1: How did this?
Speaker 2: How did this begin?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 19: I guess. So one thing, I've always like hated turkey,
Speaker 19: Like I don't know what's wrong with me. I hate
Speaker 19: like Thanksgiving turkey. It doesn't taste good ever, Like I've
Speaker 19: just never liked it. And so eventually my family is
Speaker 19: like pretty pretty small, and so at one point we
Speaker 19: just realized it wasn't worth, uh, you know, spending like
Speaker 19: a crap ton of money to make a huge breakfast
Speaker 19: or not to huge breakfast and use Thanksgiving dinner like
Speaker 19: buying a turkey, stuffing all that all that stuff, like
Speaker 19: it was really expensive, and like it's just my mom
Speaker 19: and I is and my grandparents, and so one year,
Speaker 19: like I guess, they like they were looking at the
Speaker 19: money and they realized that it was cheaper to like
Speaker 19: basically just order the food instead of making it and
Speaker 19: just ordering it for like a small group of people,
Speaker 19: instead of like having like a whole turkey and all
Speaker 19: that like shit. And when we were finally ordering it,
Speaker 19: I was like, hey, can you just order me something else?
Speaker 19: Like can you just order me something that isn't Thanksgiving food?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: And they're like okay, well yeah, this is where it begins.
Speaker 19: And then they're like okay, well, like what do you
Speaker 19: want to order? And I was like okay, well, you
Speaker 19: know what, fuck it.
Speaker 4: I'm like twelve.
Speaker 19: I love pancakes, as every twelve year old should. So
Speaker 19: I got some fucking pancakes. I got some bake and
Speaker 19: I got some scrambled eggs, and everyone judged me because
Speaker 19: they're like, hey, that's weird, like why don't you want turkey?
Speaker 19: And I was like, Turkey's trash, dude. So anyways, I
Speaker 19: gots I got breakfast food for Thanksgiving dinner, and then
Speaker 19: ever since then, I was like I feel empowered, you know,
Speaker 19: I feel empowered to just yes to just get whatever
Speaker 19: I want for Thanksgiving, and so now now everything'sgiving dinner,
Speaker 19: I get breakfast food.
Speaker 2: You're an iconoclass.
Speaker 19: An iconoclass, but I know what that word is, but
Speaker 19: I don't actually or in I've heard that word, but
Speaker 19: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: You're you're you're like a contrarian. This is interesting because
Speaker 2: we were talking to ship what was her name? Fuck,
Speaker 2: we were talking to someone at the beginning of the
Speaker 2: stream who also was like she wasn't specific about it,
Speaker 2: but she was saying that she had an iconoclastic contrarian energy.
Speaker 2: I feel like you too. I feel like we I
Speaker 2: feel like there's a there's a math, there's a theme
Speaker 2: going on here tonight. Yeah, there is a you know
Speaker 2: what there's that's I think that's the theme for the
Speaker 2: night is being being a fucking contrarian, you know, I.
Speaker 19: Mean, you know, I just one thing that's funny though,
Speaker 19: is every year, so like you know, pre COVID, we'd
Speaker 19: usually go out and eat for Thanksgiving dinner, like read
Speaker 19: reserve ahead of time, and every single time, like at
Speaker 19: the dinner table, once I'd have my breakfast food there,
Speaker 19: everyone had the table was like, oh, you know, I
Speaker 19: really I wish I had some bacon or I wish.
Speaker 2: Oh you got all right, So that's what I was
Speaker 2: gonna ask. You got other people on the waves?
Speaker 19: Well, yeah, so like on the way, some people would
Speaker 19: like sometimes like I'd like share a little bit. I'd
Speaker 19: share like a little bit of a pancakes or a bacon,
Speaker 19: ri eggs or whatever.
Speaker 2: That's benevolent of you to share with people who who
Speaker 2: didn't believe in you.
Speaker 19: I know, you know, and I mean I feel like,
Speaker 19: you know, you have to be nice about it because
Speaker 19: you know, like, oh you got you gotta share a love.
Speaker 19: You know, it's family, it's time of thanks. I might
Speaker 19: as well, you know, give them.
Speaker 4: Thanks.
Speaker 19: But you know, you got to you how to get
Speaker 19: people on the train. You got to get people on
Speaker 19: the breakfast train for sure. And honestly, you know what,
Speaker 19: I recommend it, whatever you want for dinner, especially Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 2: So you eventually got everywhere. So now when you go
Speaker 2: in and have Thanksgiving dinner, does everyone get breakfast food?
Speaker 5: No one.
Speaker 2: No one's getting turkey anymore in the family.
Speaker 19: Well, so what's funny is that so like the places
Speaker 19: that we usually go to and like we haven't done
Speaker 19: this since the pandemic. But like the last time we
Speaker 19: had Thanksgiving because like again, you know, we're not ordering
Speaker 19: a whole ass turkey because we can't eat all of it.
Speaker 19: So what they do now is like now a lot
Speaker 19: of my family instead of like ordering like turkey, they'll
Speaker 19: get like whatever meat they want, like I think, like
Speaker 19: last year, like my mom got like ribs, you know.
Speaker 19: Like so now it's not necessarily always breakfast food, but
Speaker 19: and now it's like a lot more different food, like
Speaker 19: not traditionally.
Speaker 2: Breakfast food Thanksgiving.
Speaker 19: I just really like breakfast food.
Speaker 2: Well I'm gonna try. I'm going to try Thanksgiving ribs
Speaker 2: and pancakes or you know, hell yeah, I might go
Speaker 2: a step further in the contrarianism, right, and next time
Speaker 2: I have and maybe tomorrow night I'll order some ribs
Speaker 2: and pancakes and declare it in my perception of reality
Speaker 2: to be Thanksgiving.
Speaker 19: I mean, you know anything, Okay, if you want to
Speaker 19: perceive tomorrow night as Thanksgiving, that's your reality.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 19: That makes it real. Whatever you perceive is real to
Speaker 19: you may not real to everyone else, but it's real
Speaker 19: as hell to you. You get those ribs and pancakes
Speaker 19: and you have tomorrow night and Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: I will thank you, thank yourself.
Speaker 19: Hell yeah, have a have a fun night in the sky.
Speaker 2: I'll try. Thank you.
Speaker 9: All.
Speaker 5: From Amber.
Speaker 2: Amber, Hello therapy Gecko.
Speaker 4: I have been trying to get through crazy that you must.
Speaker 2: Have something very important to tell me.
Speaker 6: I do well, I mean ask you, but sure, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: It's okay, bute, it's okay if you don't. No, I
Speaker 2: mean it's look important relative. I'm sorry, never mind, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna stop interrupting you.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say if you had a question for me,
Speaker 3: I'm more than willing to answer. I just was calling
Speaker 3: in because I have a legit problem that I think
Speaker 3: maybe you guys can give me an in partial view
Speaker 3: on how I should go about something.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll try my best. I don't know if you caught,
Speaker 2: but the last few people that gave that I gave
Speaker 2: advice to left the experience sounding very disappointed. But I'll
Speaker 2: try again.
Speaker 14: Well, they hit some.
Speaker 3: Pretty crazy things, some people legitimate, but some people who
Speaker 3: have called him a craziest thing. But this is legit.
Speaker 3: I'm very confused in a relationship that I've been in
Speaker 3: for two years, and co is good to talk to
Speaker 3: your friends, but your friends are invested, so they kind
Speaker 3: of give you advice that you probably should listen to,
Speaker 3: but sometimes as strangers and somebody who's not attached, just
Speaker 3: to see if your way of thinking is still the
Speaker 3: right way of what.
Speaker 16: You should be doing.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll hit us Samborn.
Speaker 3: So I haven't had the best of luck with relationships.
Speaker 3: I am, we'll say, in my forties. I'm in my
Speaker 3: earlier part of my forties. I have not been with
Speaker 3: very many people, but the people I have been with,
Speaker 3: I have been in long term relationships, my longest being
Speaker 3: thirteen years. I met this incredible person through work, and
Speaker 3: in the beginning it was just a friendship and it
Speaker 3: was just coworkers. About maybe a year and a half
Speaker 3: after something's progressed and I thought he was trying to
Speaker 3: say something to me without saying something to me, and
Speaker 3: I thought feelings were involved, and I think they still
Speaker 3: were to a degree, but it didn't work out the
Speaker 3: first go round. So my mom always gave me the
Speaker 3: good real relationship advice is something was meant to be.
Speaker 3: If you said it free and they come back that
Speaker 3: it's a sign. Am I rambling?
Speaker 2: Okay, No, I no, I I agree with I I do.
Speaker 2: I do to it to an extent, I do kind
Speaker 2: of agree with if it's if it's meant to be,
Speaker 2: If it's meant it's meant to be. But I want
Speaker 2: to I want to hear the I want to hear
Speaker 2: the rest of the story.
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 3: So, in the past, I've jumped into things with people
Speaker 3: that weren't the best for me. So in this case,
Speaker 3: I thought, even though it hurt very much, because he
Speaker 3: was even to this day he is an extremely great person,
Speaker 3: I set him free. I moved. I didn't even tell him,
Speaker 3: and we had mutual friends, but they kind of knew
Speaker 3: what was going on, and they knew I wasn't really
Speaker 3: talking to him and kind of knew the reason why.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was more my hang up than it
Speaker 3: was his hang up. So I don't know. I think
Speaker 3: it was four months go by.
Speaker 2: Can I ask what the hang up was that caused
Speaker 2: you to set him free?
Speaker 3: I finally got enoughner to tell him how I felt.
Speaker 3: We were all going to a concert together, and he
Speaker 3: brought us over to his friends before the concert because
Speaker 3: it was only like feet from the venue, and I
Speaker 3: was planning to tell him during a specific song how
Speaker 3: I felt about him, because I really thought up until
Speaker 3: this point, that's what it was leading to, that you were.
Speaker 2: Going to go were you You weren't dating at this point.
Speaker 3: No, we were still just hanging out as friends. So
Speaker 3: we were going out to breakfast, going out to eat,
Speaker 3: and doing things together. He would incorporate me in his
Speaker 3: day he does something. Where he does isn't tied into
Speaker 3: an office or or setting.
Speaker 2: He's he liked this guy, and you were about to
Speaker 2: tell him how you how? How uh how you felt
Speaker 2: about him?
Speaker 3: Okay, so well, he brought his date, so I just
Speaker 3: never told him, And when they went onto the concert,
Speaker 3: I stayed back at the friend's house and I proceeded
Speaker 3: that I am half a bottle.
Speaker 6: Of tequila and wait for him to come back and
Speaker 6: take me home.
Speaker 1: So he never knew.
Speaker 3: So, like I said, it was more my hang up
Speaker 3: than it was it. So when we got back into contact,
Speaker 3: I did let him know. So this wasn't something that
Speaker 3: was hanging because once we started talking, he asked me why.
Speaker 2: You didn't hold out for him?
Speaker 10: Did you?
Speaker 2: Are you still trying to meet other.
Speaker 14: People at this point?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was already dating other people. I was dating
Speaker 3: actually a couple of different people. One was like really
Speaker 3: horrible and I knew he had to go, and the
Speaker 3: other guy was just kind of having fun with, you know,
Speaker 3: somebody to hang out. We kind of had some mutual stuff,
Speaker 3: but it was never anything that I was taking seriously.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So when he came back and texted me with something,
Speaker 3: we started talking and that's when things changed for us.
Speaker 3: And that's when things were more open and we proceeded
Speaker 3: to start sleeping together at this point, okay, And it
Speaker 3: wasn't something that was like we slept together and we
Speaker 3: fell instantly in love and we couldn't stop being around
Speaker 3: each other. I knew to a degree that still kind
Speaker 3: of take things slow because the conversations we had had
Speaker 3: in the past.
Speaker 2: Okay, So where are you guys? Where are you guys? Now?
Speaker 3: That's where I'm confused.
Speaker 11: So you.
Speaker 2: Where?
Speaker 1: Where?
Speaker 2: Where does the confusion come from?
Speaker 14: Okay?
Speaker 3: So one thing he's always told me is he doesn't
Speaker 3: want a girlfriend, which is.
Speaker 2: Okay, He's always told you that he doesn't want a
Speaker 2: girlfriend as a.
Speaker 3: Friend, and as this he has made this statement more
Speaker 3: than once.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you want all right? Do you do you
Speaker 2: want to be his? Girlfriend.
Speaker 3: I'm okay with things being.
Speaker 2: Be completely honest.
Speaker 3: Here do you do you completely honest? I'm being completely honest.
Speaker 3: I'm okay with things staying the way that they are
Speaker 3: because of past things that's happened in my life. If
Speaker 3: with him being he doesn't hurt me, is more than
Speaker 3: a gentleman. He watched out for me during the pandemic.
Speaker 3: He watches out for my dog. So he's a very
Speaker 3: carrying person towards me, And I know he's not just
Speaker 3: using me for the pleasurable side, because there came a
Speaker 3: point where, because of situations with the COVID where we
Speaker 3: stopped because his mom lives with him and we wanted
Speaker 3: to keep her safe.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So so so the problem is, Okay,
Speaker 2: here's the you're It sounds like your problem is you're
Speaker 2: confused about what to do with this guy because he
Speaker 2: doesn't want a girlfriend. But to me, it's like if
Speaker 2: he doesn't want a girlfriend, I mean, the idea of
Speaker 2: like the idea of like, I'm gonna stay with this
Speaker 2: guy even though he's told me a thousand times he
Speaker 2: doesn't want a girlfriend because he's a nice guy. Is
Speaker 2: I mean, it's tough, but I get it. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna say I don't get it, like I get that.
Speaker 2: You you know, you find someone and there's like, you know,
Speaker 2: you're you're willing to look past deal breakers. But I
Speaker 2: mean that the fact that he just has told you
Speaker 2: outright that he doesn't want a girlfriend is a huge thing,
Speaker 2: you know, And it sounds like, again, you know, your
Speaker 2: relationship with this guy is totally amicable.
Speaker 3: But and I hear you, because you know, any other
Speaker 3: girlfriend that would sit there and tell me the same story,
Speaker 3: I would tell her, you know, what are you wasting
Speaker 3: your time for? But in my defense, in my defense,
Speaker 3: this happened to me prior the person I spent thirteen
Speaker 3: years with. He is the first friend that I let crossover.
Speaker 3: This guy is the second guy I ever let crossover
Speaker 3: from friend into something more. Okay, the last person told
Speaker 3: me the same thing for three years.
Speaker 2: All right, but you can't but you can't be you
Speaker 2: can't be like you can't you can't be like Okay,
Speaker 2: I was able to flip the other two guys. Now
Speaker 2: I'm gonna flip this. You can't. You can't look at
Speaker 2: it like that, Okay, I, in my personal you totally
Speaker 2: can't look at it like, and also that would just
Speaker 2: be you don't want to do that to that guy,
Speaker 2: because that guy has set out what his boundaries are
Speaker 2: and he's like I I and he and also like
Speaker 2: props to him, like he's telling you, he's told you
Speaker 2: straight up a thousand times. I'm I'm letting you know
Speaker 2: right now, I do not want a girlfriend. And I
Speaker 2: at first I was thinking, like all right, maybe no.
Speaker 2: The fact that you said what you said about like
Speaker 2: all right, the other guys I was able to flip
Speaker 2: them from saying I don't want a girlfriend into you know,
Speaker 2: now I'm their girlfriend makes me think you have sort
Speaker 2: of alt or your motives and you don't you don't
Speaker 2: want to go into you don't want to hit this
Speaker 2: guy with with your ulterior motives trying to trying to
Speaker 2: change it. I think you beat so much better off
Speaker 2: moving on going back out into the world. You know,
Speaker 2: and and I know, I know, and we talked with
Speaker 2: that other woman.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 2: I know it probably gets harder when you're older, but
Speaker 2: there's there's also still lots and lots of people out
Speaker 2: there dating that your age. I just think it would
Speaker 2: be so much better for you to go find someone
Speaker 2: who is like, yes, I want a girlfriend that you
Speaker 2: are compatible with. They're supposed to like try to flip
Speaker 2: this guy just because it worked in the past.
Speaker 3: I hear you when where the confusion comes in and
Speaker 3: to one, he is the second guy. There wasn't two
Speaker 3: guys prior. He is the second guy that I let
Speaker 3: in past the friendship.
Speaker 2: Even if he's the second guy, don't care guy any
Speaker 2: other guy.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I was just saying, but he does
Speaker 3: like weird things like even though he says I don't
Speaker 3: want a girl friend and he does commitment thing like.
Speaker 2: Take take take, I don't. I don't care if what
Speaker 2: he says is different from what he does. Take him.
Speaker 2: What he says and what he does should be the
Speaker 2: same thing. And if they're not the same thing, leaf,
Speaker 2: I think, Okay, that's that's just my opinion, you know.
Speaker 2: But but Amber listened, you know, Uh, I appreciate you calling.
Speaker 2: I hope I'm not crushing your dreams here, but I
Speaker 2: just I would not.
Speaker 3: I know, like, sometimes it's just easier to have people.
Speaker 2: Who don't play don't play games find the guy who
Speaker 2: the idea that he's like saying one thing, but he's
Speaker 2: doing anything just don't fucking play the games. If you
Speaker 2: want to have one last conversation with him and be like,
Speaker 2: you could be like, how come you're saying this and
Speaker 2: do it, but fucking don't even do that. Just move
Speaker 2: on from this guy. If he if he's not, if
Speaker 2: he has set up his boundaries, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Definitely.
Speaker 2: But but thank you for calling in Amber. I hope
Speaker 2: that this was of of something.
Speaker 3: No, it was huge help, and I thank you for
Speaker 3: doing this because of course people like us met somebody

Speaker 3: so freely, you know.

Speaker 6: Oh oh oh, that's trim me o.
Speaker 1: What's up? Man?
Speaker 2: How are you Ronalds from Canada?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 12: Good?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 2: Why is why? Is right off front of set?
Speaker 6: She thought I was on the voicemail. She she wanted
Speaker 6: us to call in.
Speaker 2: She uh, and she's like she seems like she's she's
Speaker 2: in staunch disbelief right now.
Speaker 6: I am, Oh my god, Yeah, there you go. How's
Speaker 6: your night going.
Speaker 2: It's going all right. I'm hanging out in the sky.
Speaker 2: I'm having a good time.
Speaker 1: A good man.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you your girlfriend is in I almost
Speaker 2: I almost want to prove to her that I'm real.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, stay hard.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pass out, don't. I'm gonna cry.
Speaker 5: Hello, I'm starstruck.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 6: She's starstruck. Apparently.
Speaker 2: I'm just a fucking.
Speaker 1: I live there.
Speaker 2: I'm a lizard man. What okay? What's what's your girlfriend's name?
Speaker 6: Her name is Samantha.
Speaker 2: Do you guys have any traditions?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we do, so, I mean hoping Canada. It's I mean,
Speaker 6: it's cold as cold as hell, right, so we don't
Speaker 6: got too much going on, especially during the winter. So
Speaker 6: once a month we have a bunch of our friends
Speaker 6: over and we get all get super baked, and then
Speaker 6: we play a little game where we all order pizza
Speaker 6: from different pizza places with random toppings, and then we
Speaker 6: place bets on you know, whose pizza place will arrive first,
Speaker 6: and then whoever the newses has to do some sort
Speaker 6: of some sort of like a embarrassment based on everybody
Speaker 6: else or what everyone else agrees on.
Speaker 2: What was the last embarrassing thing that you had someone do?
Speaker 6: Oh god, so last time was was weird? But we
Speaker 6: didn't we didn't vote for this. But the loser had
Speaker 6: to put a piece of pizza crust in their butt.
Speaker 2: But normally actually like like like when you say a
Speaker 2: piece of pizza crust, do you mean like they would
Speaker 2: like sandwich it in their butt cheeks or they would
Speaker 2: shove it up their aus.
Speaker 6: I think originally the expectation was in their anus. But
Speaker 6: I think they just did their butt cheek and everyone
Speaker 6: was okay with that because no one.
Speaker 2: I think forcing someone to shove I think sourcing someone
Speaker 2: to shove it up their ass is a bit too extreme.
Speaker 2: But hot dogging it in between the butt, that's not
Speaker 2: that bad.
Speaker 6: No, it's not that bad. I mean it's like crossing stride.
Speaker 6: But yeah, so that's what we have going on up here.
Speaker 2: But although you would get like what, I don't know
Speaker 2: what they put on the pizza, cuss, but like salt
Speaker 2: and crumbs and ship in your.
Speaker 6: Buttole right and it gets a little bit gretty, it's
Speaker 6: probably like I don't know, maybe like when you're at
Speaker 6: the beach and you get stands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that is someone eats your ass. If someone's
Speaker 2: eating your asshole out that night, that's would kind of
Speaker 2: taste good for that.
Speaker 6: Her herb and garlic flavor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not bad. It's better than you know, I guess.
Speaker 2: So have you ever have you ever lost the pizza
Speaker 2: the pizza delivery guy game?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah many times.
Speaker 14: But the.
Speaker 6: Worst thing I had to do was throw up my pizza.
Speaker 2: But that like that was like by far the worst pizza.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but normally it's like take a shot, like you know,
Speaker 6: like whiskey upside.
Speaker 2: That they felt like they fucking made you like stick
Speaker 2: your fingers down your throat and ship it and puke
Speaker 2: up the pizza.
Speaker 6: Yeah it was. It was pretty bad, But normally it's
Speaker 6: like it's Canada. It's I mean when it's like negative
Speaker 6: thirty outside and we're frozen. And you know, I don't
Speaker 6: know how cold it gets there, how much you snow
Speaker 6: gets snow, but oh in the sky, in the sky,
Speaker 6: I don't I don't know how much snow you get
Speaker 6: up there. I don't think that goes too well.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. I'm like a like if I
Speaker 2: entered into a bet or something like the pizza bet
Speaker 2: and I lost and they told me I had to
Speaker 2: I had to shut my fingers down my throat, I'm
Speaker 2: pick up my pizza. I would just say, no, I'm
Speaker 2: not doing it. And then they would say, but you
Speaker 2: after you lost the bet, I would say, it's artificial.
Speaker 2: There's nothing buying the to do.
Speaker 6: There's no writting contract. No, yeah, I have no visual
Speaker 6: representation by you'd prefer the hot dog.
Speaker 2: Yet AWAYS wouldn't do any of it. I would just
Speaker 2: sit in the corner and eat pizza. And I would
Speaker 2: be like and they would be like, you have to
Speaker 2: puke that all up either, and I'd be like, no,
Speaker 2: I don't have to. I don't have to ever fucking
Speaker 2: do anything that you guys told.
Speaker 8: Me to do.
Speaker 6: I paid for the pizza. I'm not throwing it up.
Speaker 2: Paying for the piezas Yeah, you know, you lose the
Speaker 2: bad you pay for the pizza. That makes more sense
Speaker 2: than why it should just be that, just be the
Speaker 2: guy pays. I don't know why you're putting things up
Speaker 2: your ass and ship.
Speaker 6: We get. I mean, we're baked, obviously we're probably not
Speaker 6: thinking the clearest. But I think that you know, it's
Speaker 6: probably be a pretty good suggestion I'll bring next time. Okay, Well, honestly,
Speaker 6: I think in the past year of this, nobody has
Speaker 6: every one suggested the loser pays for the pizza, So
Speaker 6: that's pretty messed up.
Speaker 2: Their mind's just skipped immediately to you have to stab
Speaker 2: yourself in the chest or so. I don't know, I
Speaker 2: was trying to think of a thing that's too extreme.
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone would want would stab themsel. Would
Speaker 2: you have to kill themselves or stab themselves? That's too extreme?
Speaker 6: Like I probably wouldn't maybe affiliate myself with people like that.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean, who knows the world, I like.
Speaker 2: Put sauce in my ear, maybe I don't know, putting
Speaker 2: some putting stuff up my ass or in or like
Speaker 2: having to like finger my uve my uv Leah, what
Speaker 2: is it? Yu've lea, Yeah, I don't know if I
Speaker 2: would do that.
Speaker 6: No, what well? I mean, I'm sure as like a kid,
Speaker 6: you probably put like plato in your ear or your
Speaker 6: nose or something. Kids are pretty dumb.
Speaker 2: I guess, or in your ass.
Speaker 16: I don't know what.
Speaker 6: What kind of pizza do geckos like?
Speaker 2: Barbecue chicken?
Speaker 6: Barbecue chicken? All right, that sounds good.
Speaker 2: Actually, are you asking that me that? Because you're gonna
Speaker 2: send me pizza.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna ask my girlfriend, but she's probably gonna say no,
Speaker 6: you're trying like this new diet thing.
Speaker 2: So your girlfriend loves me, why would she send me pizza?
Speaker 6: Hey, Samantha, why wouldn't you send the pizza?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 19: She said she chipped pizza gag.
Speaker 2: Okay, word.
Speaker 16: Tyler, Uh.
Speaker 2: Nah, she didn't have to send me a piece. She's
Speaker 2: she's a nice person. You're both nice people. Don't let
Speaker 2: don't let your friends tell you to shove pizza crossed
Speaker 2: up your ass. Don't don't let them do that too.
Speaker 2: You guys, have a good rest of tonight and enjoy
Speaker 2: enjoy the beauty of Canada.
Speaker 6: You take care.
Speaker 4: Tonight never goes on the line making his own calls
Speaker 4: every night.
