35
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: the Gecko suit. I thought about doing it in the

36
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Gecko suits, and then I decided that I thought about it,

37
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,680

00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: Hello Gek.

43
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: My name is Tash and I am an artist and

44
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: yoga teacher in Copenhagen.

45
00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: What a thing to be. What a thing and a

47
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: place to be in. What a thing to be and

48
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: a place to be in.

49
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: I have a nice.

50
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,279
Speaker 1: Little story to share with you about your last podcast.

51
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: I was feeling a bit low about myself, which is

52
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: a hard cycle to have when you're a yoga teacher

53
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: because you want to give the best energy you've got.

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: But I've been sick for weeks and today my emotions

55
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: really got to me. I've struggled with anxiety my whole life,

56
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: and yoga has always been a core value of mine

57
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: to help me feel centered again. Teaching has been one

58
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: of the greatest joys in my life so far. In

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: these moments where I feel a bit anxious, I try

60
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: to remind myself that I'm human and these are just

61
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: human emotions. I try to do something simple like go

62
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: on a walk and the sun started to shine, which

63
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: means a lot in Scandinavia in winter. I really enjoy

64
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: listening to your podcast because there's a nice blend of humor,

65
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: humility and insight. Your last podcast resonated well with me

66
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: on different topics.

67
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, A.

68
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: Funny little part of my walk happened when you were

69
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: talking about SpongeBob with a caller. I remember that I laughed,

70
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: and about thirty seconds later I looked up and saw

71
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: this mural around my neighborhood. Okay, and it's a picture

72
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: of SpongeBob. Thanks for reading and creating an email format.

73
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: Have a great rest of your day, Tash. This person

74
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: is so nice. This is a really nice, wholesome person. Yes,

75
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: this is a nice person. This is a nice person

76
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: who wrote me this email. I don't know if I

77
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: have anything else to say about this email except that

78
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: the person who wrote it seems like they are nice.

79
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: Let me.

80
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Yes, this is a nice person who wrote this email.

81
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: This is a nice picture of SpongeBob. And yes, it's

82
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: very nice. This is from Ali, subject line death anxiety.

83
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: All right, Here we go, Here we go, Dear Ghek,

84
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: I've been having really bad death anxiety lately. Tell me

85
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: about it, all right. The thought of not existing for

86
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: eternity after my death freaks me out like crazy. I

87
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: used to not think about it much, however, now what

88
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: is all I think about? I have been thinking about

89
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: multiple theories of what else could possibly happen after death.

90
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I am not a religious person and am agnostic. I

91
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: have a theory that we spawn into the next phase

92
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: of existence and move on with a whole new life.

93
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: I don't see this as an afterlife, just as the

94
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: next phase. Do you ever feel afraid of the thought

95
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: that there is a more than likely chance that we

96
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: cease to exist for eternity after death?

97
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that scares me, But it's kind of nice.

98
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: Because it's everyone right, Like, you could have lived the

99
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: most beautiful life ever, and you can you achieve the

100
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: heights of your indusy in your career, and you can

101
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: raise ten beautiful children with your beautiful wife or husbands.

102
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: You can travel to every country on the earth, and

103
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: you can have be respected and admired and loved by all.

104
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: Or you can play a lot of video games and

105
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: kill people and be horrible. And I don't know why

106
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: I combine. I don't know why I combined playing video

107
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: games and killing people. I'm about this whole episode just

108
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm this is gonna be a sloppy episode,

109
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: just so everyone knows. But I just I trust the

110
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: people listening to this and that were all along for

111
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the same ride.

112
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: So just buckle up, we're gonna do this.

113
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: Okay, So video game killing guy and Nelson Mandela good person.

114
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: We all die.

115
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: Everyone dies, and so it's an equalizer. And so what

116
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: it means is that nothing you do matters. But that's

117
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: not true too. I told you, just give me a

118
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: sloppy episode. Yeah, but you're not alone. I want you

119
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: to know something, Ali, is that the alternative is way worse.

120
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: The alternative for you is the loneliest thing I could

121
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: possibly imagine, Because Ali, think about this.

122
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: Yes, you're going to die.

123
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: And you're going to cease far all of eternity, but

124
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: it's so beautiful. You're part of the whole community of

125
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: not just human beings, but you know, plants and hamsters

126
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: and everything that we all die. Imagine the alternative, Ali,

127
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: imagine if just you.

128
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: Lived forever. That would be awful.

129
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: That would be the That would be the loneliest fucking

130
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: thing that I could possibly imagine.

131
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: That's the worst fate of all times.

132
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: So if you had to pick between that and what

133
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: you've got right now, which is this beautiful thing, which

134
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: is that you're participating in the most communal experience you

135
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: could possibly have as a living creature. You would absolutely

136
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: want that over, you know, living forever. I think death

137
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: would suck more if, like you know what suck is,

138
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: if everything that was ever born inherently lived forever, but Ali,

139
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: But what if just you died?

140
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: That would suck?

141
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: Right if you were endowed with this gift of if

142
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: if the general experience of all life forms were that

143
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: you live forever until otherwise noted, but just you, Ali,

144
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: just you died, that would suck. That would be something

145
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: to be afraid of. But that's not the case. That's

146
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: not what's happening to you. What's happening to you is

147
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: that you are joining the rest of not only humanity,

148
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: but also every bug and every dog and every octopus.

149
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: And you're gonna never be anything. And that's that's good.

150
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: That never being anything is way better than being too

151
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: much forever. So I hope you take solace in that.

152
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: All right.

153
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: This is from Tom, subject line this sucks. I'm interested

154
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: in this email, Hi, Lyle. I'm a big fan of

155
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Thank you, Tom, God bless you Tom.

156
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: About a year ago, I became vegan after watching a

157
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: documentary about animal agriculture. I was a little high on

158
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: LSD when I watched it, and I realized for the

159
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: first time that every animal, just like us, experiences the world.

160
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: They don't have the same shape or intelligence as us,

161
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: but they do feel and they can suffer. People kill

162
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: one point two trillion animals per year.

163
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: Is that true?

164
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: It sounds it sounds more one point two trillion. Do

165
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: we really kill one point two trillion animals per year?

166
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: You know what, let's roll with that.

167
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fact check it because this is a

168
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: podcast and so we don't have to fact check anything here.

169
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: This spiraled me into a depression thinking about it every day.

170
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to stop, but there was nothing I could

171
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: do but focus on my contribution. This was the hardest

172
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: mental challenge I ever had to overcome. I still get

173
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: sad when I think about it, but it's nowhere as

174
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: bad as it was. Anyway, much love from Chechia. Okay,

175
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: so this guy, this guy's upset that one point two

176
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: trillion animals per year die or not.

177
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: They don't die either're killed by uh people who love

178
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: eating delicious animals. That's that. You know. It sucks. It

179
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: sucks more than animals.

180
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: I think it would it would suck more if animals

181
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: weren't so delicious, because then it would be.

182
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: More black and white.

183
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: If people were just killing animals for no reason, you know,

184
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: then maybe this is gonna be situ whatever I'm putting

185
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: this on the internet. If animals weren't so delicious, I

186
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: think it would be easier to be upset that were

187
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: killing so many of them, you know what I mean,

188
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: Because like, if there was just some guy out there

189
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: who was like killing chickens for no reason, he just

190
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: wanted to, he just thought it was fun, that'd be

191
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: fucked up. But there's lots of guys out there killing

192
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: a lot of chickens because chickens are so delicious, and

193
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: so it's not as black and white as as the

194
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: situations with the situation would have you think.

195
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: I do find it.

196
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: I've gone on this rant so many times to people

197
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: in my personal life, and I'm sure I've gone on

198
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: it on the podcast. But found it quite interesting the

199
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: very arbitrary lines that we draw between what animals are

200
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: okay to kill in mass versus not like like if

201
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: you kill and eat a dog, you're a you're an

202
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: awful crazy person in in in modern society, killing and

203
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: eating a dog is frowned upon, but you can kill

204
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: and eat infinite chickens and no one cares, and there's

205
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: no And here's the thing that's weird about that is

206
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: there's really there's no real, honest, god reason why. Because

207
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: Tom in this email is correct, every animal, just like us,

208
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: feels can suffer. All those chickens suffered immeasurable pain when

209
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: we killed and ate them. Does that mean we should

210
00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: stop prop Probably? Probably, But I'm still gonna eat chickens

211
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: because they're so because they're good, and I don't have

212
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: to kill them. I think if I had to, if

213
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: every time I wanted to eat chicken, I had to

214
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: look at a baby, I had to look at a

215
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: chicken and I had to stab it with a knife

216
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: and I had to kill it, I don't think I

217
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: would eat chicken anymore.

218
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,359
Speaker 2: But we there's.

219
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Like, there's people who kill who do that, who like

220
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: I think they like it.

221
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: They probably like it. They love killing chickens, And so.

222
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: We let we have a beneficial relationship with the people

223
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: who love killing chickens because we don't we because like

224
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: we as in you know, people like me, people who

225
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: like eating chicken but don't like killing them.

226
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: Have a.

227
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: We have a beneficial relationship because I like to eat chicken,

228
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: but I don't like kill it. So I rely on

229
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: someone out there who loves to kill to kill the

230
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: chickens so they don't have to do it, but I

231
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: can still eat them. And you know what, Tom, You're right,

232
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: this is probably fucked up. It's probably fucked up. But uh,

233
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, like, why is my life so much

234
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: more important than a chicken's life? I don't have a

235
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: good answer to that question. It makes me depressed too.

236
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't have a good answer to that question.

237
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: The truth, the truth is.

238
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: The answer is that it's not my life, and your

239
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: life and the life of everyone listening to this podcast

240
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: is not inherently, for some fucking reason, that much more

241
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: important than the life of a chicken. It's a little

242
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: narciss I think it's a little narcissistic to think that

243
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: you're that much more important than a chicken.

244
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: But we do.

245
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: We just I think that's our brains are hardwired to

246
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: believe that we as human beings are superior to chickens.

247
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, like, what, like human life is inherently value.

248
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: We've kind of decided societally. What am I doing right now?

249
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: What am I?

250
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: What?

251
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: This is? You know what?

252
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: You know? I'm gonna kep you know what. I'm gonna

253
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: keep going. Whoever is If you're listening to this in

254
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: your car right now or while you're folding laundry and

255
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: you're still with me, I really love you. I appreciate

256
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: you for for giving me your time to go on

257
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: this aimless rant that doesn't make any I'm gonna keep going. Well,

258
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I was talking about it anymore,

259
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna try to see if I can keep going.

260
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna this.

261
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this a three hour podcast about chickens.

262
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm not. I don't want to do that.

263
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: Uh okay, but anyway, the whole point, the look, the

264
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: point is is that chicken lives don't matter, but also

265
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: neither do humans, and so I'm just we should all

266
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: kill and eat each other.

267
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: Let's read another question. Let's read another email. All right,

268
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: This is.

269
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: From Aiden. Okay, this is from Aiden. Subject line is girlfriend.

270
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Aiden says, I really want a girlfriend, but I don't

271
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: know how to talk to women. I also happen to

272
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: have autism, so I tend to miss out on social cues?

273
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: Is there any way I can get a girlfriend sent

274
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: from my iPhone?

275
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: There? You know? Aren't here's aren't there also.

276
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: Women out there who who don't, who also similarly tend

277
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: to miss out on social cues? Is there a way

278
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: for you to find them? I think didn't they made?

279
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: There's a whole TV show about this, like love on

280
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: the Spectrum? Couldn't you theoretically find somebody who also is

281
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: not great at social cues and you guys can be

282
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: happy together on and.

283
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, aiden I don't. I feel

284
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 2: like you only gave me three sentences to work with.

285
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: But I think I even with these three sentences, I

286
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: do I think you can find a girlfriend. Yeah, I

287
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: think you can find a girlfriend. I don't know anything

288
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: about your life, but you know, uh, brush your teeth,

289
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: be employed, try your best to not be you know,

290
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: to not say anything like completely utterly insane, and you

291
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: can probably like missing out on a few social cues

292
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: is not is not going to be the worst thing

293
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: in the world.

294
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

295
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: You only give me three sentences to work with, but

296
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume you're not like an evil insane person,

297
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: and so as long as you're not, I mean, honestly,

298
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: even if you were an evil, insane person, you could

299
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: probably also even if you if this email didn't, if

300
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: this email said I really want a girlfriend, but I

301
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: am an evil, insane person.

302
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: Is there any way to get a girlfriend?

303
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: I would also I would still say yes, because you

304
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: could just find another evil insane person to date. And

305
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: whatever kind of person you are, you can there's another

306
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: there's an opposite gender version of you or same gender

307
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: whatever you know you're looking for.

308
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: So, yeah, you can.

309
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: I think you'll be okay, I think you can find

310
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: a girlfriends. Yeah, I believe in you. Aiden Okay. This

311
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: is from Wesley Anderson, subject line therapy. Gecko made me

312
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: dress up in blackface?

313
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: All right, I don't. I don't read.

314
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: I just I don't read these emails before I read

315
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: them live on the show.

316
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: I probably should. I don't.

317
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: I used to screen the phone calls. I don't really

318
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: do that anymore.

319
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm this whole thing.

320
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this right now in your car

321
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: and you're still here with me, I just God, bless you.

322
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: I really love you.

323
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for being here, and thanks for letting me continue

324
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: to remain in your brain, in your ear. Let's see

325
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: what this email says, Hey, GEK, Long story short, I

326
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: dressed up as Therapy get Goo for Halloween. But the

327
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: face pant I used was too dark and I couldn't

328
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: make the color lighter and.

329
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: So it looked like blackface.

330
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: But I didn't make you do that, by the way, Okay,

331
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: and he sent the picture. It looks fine. You look,

332
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like it doesn't look like that. It

333
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: doesn't look like that. Let's keep going. You know what,

334
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: I realized. I'm feeling a little bit more powerful because

335
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: I realized that I can stop reading an email halfway through.

336
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: If I'm like a couple of sentences into an email

337
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: and I don't want to read the whole thing, I

338
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: can just keep going.

339
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: You ever realized there's no rules? Isn't that crazy? I

340
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: don't know why in this.

341
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: I've been doing this podcast for four years and I

342
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: have this rigid way that I feel like I have

343
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: to do it. And now I'm like, why don't I

344
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: just I can do whatever I can. I'll be okay,

345
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 1: all right. Uh. This is from Carson. Subject line life sucks.

346
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: Carson says, why does life suck? It feels like I'm

347
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: stuck in the same loop over and over again. I

348
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: go out places and try to socialize. I just feel

349
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: like an outcast anywhere I go. I just IDK. What's

350
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: the point of socializing, and what's the point of life anymore?

351
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: Deck shit seems pointless anymore when you're already down and

352
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: keep getting screwed.

353
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: I just isolate. It sucks.

354
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: I just want to figure shit out, but I don't

355
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: even know where to start. Fuck all right, let's talk

356
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: about this. Let's talk about this, Carson, Let's talk about this.

357
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: You feel like an outcast anywhere you go. I have

358
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: I could go on a rant about this. I have

359
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: like advice, I guess because I'm with you too, like

360
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: any you go like, cause you kind of inherently are,

361
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: and like no matter you know, whatever, whoever you are

362
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: or whoever you think, I'm not talking to you specifically,

363
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm just talking to people whoever you are, or whoever

364
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: you think you are, whatever you think you are, Like

365
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: if you have this image in your brain of like,

366
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: why would anyone want to talk to me? I kind

367
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: of suck and I'm not that interesting in all these things.

368
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: And you and you kind of walk around like that.

369
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: It becomes like a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy.

370
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: But you are inherently an outcast wherever you go, Like

371
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: if you go to a bar and you try to

372
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: start talking to people and you like talk to a

373
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: group of friends, You're like, you are an outcast inherently,

374
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: And so what's the antidote to that. The antidote, at

375
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: least to me, this is I'm just speaking from my

376
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: own life experience because it's all I have is you

377
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: gotta kind of find a way to create your own

378
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: cast to be in. We've never lived in a world

379
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: where it was easier to do that. The tools are available, Carson,

380
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: Now I'm speaking to Carson. For you to create your

381
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: own thing, you gotta like some And I don't know

382
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: what you like. I only know what you hate. I

383
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: only know that you're depressed. But I don't know, dude,

384
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: Maybe you fucking like legos and maybe you just start

385
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: the Lego discord. You don't even have to go outside

386
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: to do this now, because I was gonna say, you

387
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: could go to the local community center and start start

388
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: the Lego club and then have a bunch of lego friends.

389
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 2: You don't even have to leave your fucking computer to

390
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 2: do it.

391
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: Now, you don't even have to leave your computer to

392
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: go on go make friends, So why don't you. I

393
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: don't know what you were into, Carson, but I'm gonna

394
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: assume you're into Legos, because I'm just the only way

395
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: for me to, I think, talk about this is to

396
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: assume things about you. So I'm gonna assume you love Legos,

397
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna suggest that you start the Lego Lover's

398
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: Discord and you go on the Lego subreddit and you're like, hey, everyone,

399
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: I started a discord channel for people who love Legos,

400
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: and some fucking some other guy who hates his life

401
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: is gonna be like, Hey, I hate my life and

402
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: I love Legos. And then all of a sudden, you're

403
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: gonna be in a cloud. You're gonna start You're gonna

404
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: be in the DMS with some fucking guy who hates

405
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: his life and loves Legos, and then you're gonna be like, hey,

406
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not alone in hating my life

407
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: and loving Legos. There's other people out here.

408
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: Who hate life and love Legos.

409
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: And all I had to do was start the Lego

410
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: lovers Discord, and now here I am and I have

411
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: a friend to enjoy the suckage of life with, because

412
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: that's if you have, If you ever can find other

413
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: people to commiserate with, that's the only hope when uh

414
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: you have I think, when the world is ending around you,

415
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: what am I talking about? Go start Go start a

416
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: lego Discord Carson. That's I guess what I'm trying to say.

417
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: I believe in you. I really do. I really all that.

418
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: I just just while I'm while I'm in this headspace,

419
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: just I really feel like I can't. One of the

420
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: one of my downfalls I think as a person is

421
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: that I am optimistic for all people. I try to

422
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: be because I can't because I want to. I so

423
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: deeply want to be optimistic for my own personal life

424
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: prosperity and my own personal like I want to be

425
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: optimistic for myself. I want to believe that my life

426
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: will continue to be good and that all of my

427
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: that because I have problems as a human being, as

428
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: all human beings do, and in order for me to

429
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: believe that my life problems are gonna continue to are

430
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: going to improve, I have to believe the same thing

431
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: for literally every single other human being on the planet Earth,

432
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: which I'm beginning to realize is unrealistic, right, Because if

433
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: I can't be optimistic for Carson, how am I going

434
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: to this is gonna be optimistic for myself. I think

435
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: that's a bit of a faulty way of thinking, though,

436
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: because you can't just assume you can't be optimistic for everything.

437
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: You can't truly believe that everything is going to work

438
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: out for every single person on the planet Earth. It's

439
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: just not realistic. But you can, but you can. You

440
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: can still do it. Yeah, fuck it, you can still

441
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: do it even if it's not realistic. I'm optimistic for Carson.

442
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: Let's keep going, all right. This is from Jonas. The

443
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: subject line is met a beautiful girl. All right, Jonah says,

444
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: Hey Geck, anonymous mailer, hero an anonymous mailer here, anonymous

445
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: mailman here. I have a matter i'd like your opinion on.

446
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm necessarily looking for advice, but just

447
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: a different perspective. I go to art school and last

448
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: fall I caught the most beautiful girl I've ever seen

449
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: staring straight at me on.

450
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: The first day of class. La la.

451
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: I've only really felt this way with one person, ever,

452
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: so I had to go say what's up. We slowly

453
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: got to know each other and even started studying together

454
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: at a coffee shop once a week. Oh that's cute.

455
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: Then Halloween came around. I asked her where plans were

456
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: because I obviously wanted to get drunk with this person

457
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: on Halloween.

458
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

459
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: We go to school in Savannah, Georgia, which is an

460
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: extra spooky southern town.

461
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 2: Okay.

462
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: It was then revealed to me that she had a boyfriend,

463
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: frownie fan. This fucked me up bad for a few weeks,

464
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: on top of other life things. Honestly still kind of

465
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: fucked up about it. Okay, he wrote a bunch of

466
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: other things, but then he wrote, am I cooked?

467
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:17,639

470
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: that comes into my brain instead, which is not always accurate.

00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: to destroy their ex's boyfriend, and I was a little

502

00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: Okay.

508
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,440

Speaker 1: my ex and I deleted all the notes of my

513
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: plan to destroy her new relationship. That's good. I'm feeling

514
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: more confident, that's good. Okay, I'm gonna skim this email.

515
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: I am feeling numb sometimes but trying to get everything

516
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: out of my feelings and enjoying each moment more than ever.

517
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: That's good. This is okay, it's just good. I feel

518
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:20,200

Speaker 1: just okay.

520
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: I can't. I don't think I can skim read this.

521
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: I am somewhat feeling numb sometimes still, but trying to

522
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: get everything out of my feelings and enjoying each moment

523
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: more than ever, and not being embarrassed of being me. Uh, okay,

524
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: I this sorry, this is kind of a whole run

525
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: on sentence.

526
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: I can't really read this, but I hope.

527
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, this is good. I'm sorry, I'm I'm noticed.

528
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm realizing now that the people listening to me read

529
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: these emails or don't have the same amount of information

530
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: that I do, because I'm looking at the email and

531
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm kind of filtering the information that I'm giving to

532
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: the people listening to this because I have more.

533
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? It was a good email. Let's

534
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: move on.

535
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: Okay, this is from Elena. Okay, this is from Elena.

536
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: Subject line, the world is so full of hate? Why

537
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: Elena says?

538
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: What's good?

539
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: Lyle My name is Elena. I'm twenty six, and I'm

540
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: tired of existing in a world where so many people

541
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: are ignorant to the way I live my life. While yes,

542
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: some of the ways I present myself to the world

543
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: may be considered unconventional, it doesn't hurt anyone, and it

544
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: contributes to my overall happiness. Why can't people just see

545
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: me as a person who wants to live a healthy,

546
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: happy life. Well, Elena, listen, this all the email says

547
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: I fucking well, look, Elena, I mean you have uh uh,

548
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: you can't control the way that other people see you.

549
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: You can't. You just can't. You really can't. You know,

550
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: you can't make anything. You just instead, I think truthfully,

551
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: if I were you, and I don't want to be

552
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: a fuck I don't want to be a hippie guy,

553
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it for just this moment. I'm

554
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: gonna go, this is a little moment of this podcast.

555
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna carve out to be a little hippie douchebag.

556
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you, Alana that why don't you

557
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: stop focusing or giving a fuck about the people who.

558
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: Don't like the way you live your life? You can?

559
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: You have the option to just.

560
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: Ignore them and focus completely on people who are accepting

561
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: of your way of life.

562
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: Don't you have that option?

563
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: And you know, if you want to be a pessimist

564
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: and say that you don't and you have to and

565
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: what you can, but you can you have the option

566
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: to mitigate it at some point there is you, I just.

567
00:32:59,680 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: There.

568
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: The option exists to mitigate the amount of attention.

569
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

570
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: Maybe you like are at a job that you have

571
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: to work, and there's people around that are annoying that

572
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: you know you don't want to.

573
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: Have to deal with. But you have the option to mitigate.

574
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: In your own brain the amount of resource and attention

575
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: and energy that you give to those people. And I'm

576
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: just letting you know that you can mitigate that if

577
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: you want to. Okay, what have you learned about Okay?

578
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: This is from Aiden subject line what have you learned

579
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: about humans over time on your show? What is the

580
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: most interesting thing you've learned about humans? They smell bad?

581
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 2: All right?

582
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: This is from Melanie subject line being in love with

583
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 1: a fictional character helped me better myself as a person.

584
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: Hey gek.

585
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: As the subject line suggests, I've been in love with

586
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: a fictional guy for over a year now and it

587
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: shows no signs of stopping. I'll try not to go

588
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: into his character too much, but essentially the guy I

589
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: like is extremely nihilistic and due to the fact that

590
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: he worked academically hard like society expected of him, but

591
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: got screwed over and ended up in a place and

592
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: job he hates. Because of that, he blames society for

593
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: all his problems, yet doesn't take any action to better

594
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: his life. Or make any deep connections. Basically, he's a

595
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: total loser, but he ended up being extremely relatable to me.

596
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: When I first played the game he was in. His

597
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: character showed me that if I didn't try to get

598
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: out there and actually do things, I'll end up as

599
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: a person I wouldn't want to be and would likely

600
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: blame outside circumstances for it. In essence, I didn't want

601
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: to end up like him. Since then, my life has

602
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: genuinely changed for the better. I'm more open about my interests,

603
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: which led me to finding my best friend, reconnecting with

604
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: old friends, and I even got a girlfriend. This character

605
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: motivates me to get up and do the boring life,

606
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: and I'm generally a more positive person now. I get

607
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: so much joy out of seeing fan art of this

608
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: character and drawing him, and those things help me get

609
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: through life. There are times where I still feel like

610
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: my life is miserable, but thinking about this character makes

611
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: me recognize that I don't have to drown and sorrow,

612
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: and I can make deal with what I have. If

613
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: anyone is wondering who the character is, it's Toru A

614
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: Daci from Persona four. I always find it extremely ironic

615
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: that the fictional guy I love so much is objectively

616
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: a bad person, but he's not real, so it doesn't matter.

617
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: Melanie.

618
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,479
Speaker 1: Interesting, Interesting, you know, I'm gonna say, you know, look,

619
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: I think having a character from a video game inspire

620
00:35:53,160 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: you to be a better person. Good, dear God, good good.

621
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: This is why they make stuff. This is why we

622
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: this is why fiction exists.

623
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 2: I mean, I have that.

624
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: Right, like, like I think would like I've talked about

625
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: this story on the show a lot, like I'm I'm

626
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: deeply inspired by Woody from Toy Story. I'm gonna go

627
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: on this rant because I'm gonna I've gone on it before,

628
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on it again. I'm deeply inspired by

629
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: Woody from Toy Story because in Toy Story three, uh,

630
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: you know, lots so hugging Bear. I don't know if

631
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: you guys know the plot of Toy Story three, but basically,

632
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: in Toy Story three, the toys are banished to the

633
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: Sunshine Daycare Facility and it's ran by uh, lots so

634
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: hugging Bear and I don't remember any I don't remember

635
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: the movie at all, but basically, in it, lots of

636
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 1: hugging Bear.

637
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,959
Speaker 2: He fucks over the toys.

638
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: And he gets he basically arranges for them to be

639
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: thrown in the trash, but somehow lots of Hugging Bear

640
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: himself also gets thrown in the trash, right, And so

641
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: lots of Hugging Bear and Woody and Buzz, light Year

642
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: and all the other toys, they're all in the trash system.

643
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: I think I've told this story at least four times.

644
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: I think I tell I think I do at least

645
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: one podcast episode a year where I recap my favorite

646
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: scene of Toy Story three.

647
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 2: So we're getting this one out of the way early.

648
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: And so they're all in the trash room and they're

649
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: about to be like incinerated, and Woody is like, oh, okay,

650
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: if we grab a metal object, we will magnetically float

651
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: above the incinerator and we will escape death. And so

652
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: Woody grabs a spoon, Buzz grabs a little metal ball,

653
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: and everyone escapes from the incinerator.

654
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 2: But then Woody looks down.

655
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: And he sees the lotso Hugging Bear, who is the

656
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: reason they are in this mess in the first place,

657
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: is tracked underneath a big can or something right whatever,

658
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: And so what does Woody do does Woody does what

659
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: he look at lots of hugging Bear and he goes, yeah,

660
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: serves you, right, you motherfucker you. Yeah, you does what

661
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: he watched with glee as lots of hugging Bear burns

662
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: to death as retribution for what he has done to

663
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 1: Woody and his friends.

664
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: No, that's not what wood he does.

665
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: You know what he does what He climbs back down

666
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: to the incinerator and he lifts the can of chocolate

667
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck it was, he lifts it off of

668
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 1: lots of hugging bear and they both grab a spoon together,

669
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: and he say he saves lots of hugging bear, even

670
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: though lots of hugging bear is the reason they're fucking

671
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: down there in the first place. And I thought I

672
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: always thought that that was admirable of Woody. Later, lots

673
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: of hugging Bear betrays Woody again, even after that, which

674
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: is fucked up wood He probably should have let lots

675
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: of hugging Bear die.

676
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: But the point is that, you know, whatever you.

677
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: Can get in life to make you not feel like

678
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: a piece of shit, you take you take it. If

679
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: it's you know, if it's drugs and alcohol, just take it.

680
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: It's good. Those are things are good. For you.

681
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: No, if it's a character from a video game, just

682
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: take it whatever you can get to make yourself feel

683
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: not miserable and insane in what is by default a

684
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: slightly insane experience, the experience of being alive. If Toro

685
00:39:54,080 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: Adaci makes you feel like a better person than then

686
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: run with it to the fucking bank.

687
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 2: Dude. That's what I think.

688
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: Someone in the chats at how is this going to

689
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: relate to this girl masturbating to Toro. I don't think

690
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: she talked about masturbating. All right, Uh, this is I'm

691
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: not going to reread the email to see if she did, though.

692
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: This is from Kelsey. A subject line is office Baby.

693
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: Hey GEK, you can call me a Rose. All right, well,

694
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: I already called you the other name. I wanted to

695
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: call in and tell you how grateful I am for

696
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: your podcast.

697
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: Thank you Kelsey.

698
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: It has been or I guess Rose, Thank you Rose.

699
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: It has been motivating to hear about people living their

700
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: best life while working a typical jobs like running an

701
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: ice cream truck or handing out free monster beverages. I

702
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: also loved those two episodes. I loved those two callers.

703
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: They were sick. It gives me hope that there are

704
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: endless ways to live a happy life. That fucking gives

705
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: me hope too. That being said, I am struggling postgraduation

706
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: to find a career that sustains and satisfies me. I've

707
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: been working real hard to pursue a job in furniture design,

708
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: and I am almost there. A trial run at a

709
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: furnish and design firm is nearly complete, but I'm worried

710
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: about what to do next if they don't accept me,

711
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: or even worse, if I get the job but don't

712
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: end up happy. I have two questions for you, okay.

713
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: Number one, I am the youngest person at this four

714
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: person firm by decades, and I could easily be my

715
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: coworker's child at the age of twenty two. How can

716
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: I connect better with the older generation? Why would I

717
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: know that too? If I don't get the job, I

718
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: will be devastated. However, I hope it will also give

719
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: me the final push I need to move out of

720
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: my home state of Michigan. As a person who has

721
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: traveled all around the US, where would you recommend an outdoorsy, artistic,

722
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: snow loving person like me to live?

723
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: I'll answer question number two.

724
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: I've never been here, but I've heard that Asheville, North

725
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: Carolina is pretty cool. Asheville, North Carolina, I've heard is

726
00:41:55,719 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Portland, Maine. Fucking Baltimore, Maryland. But uh, yeah,

00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:10,080

00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: granola lady, you might. And I've heard that Ashville, North

729
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: Carolina is like that's that's where, That's where all those

730
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: kinds of people migrates.

Speaker 2: Is from what I've heard.

Speaker 1: from a guy you've never met who's never been to

736
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: the place he's telling you to go, then you should

737
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: go to Asheville, North Carolina. How do you connect better

738
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: with the older generation? Talk to them about Sudoku?

739
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: All right, this is.

740
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: From UH Terry. The subject line is Chubb Rubb hey gak.

741
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: I was listening to your episode on The Guy with

742
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: Drones where you talked about not having a and walking

743
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: around to New York City.

744
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 2: You then went on to rant about your quote.

745
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: Big fat thick dowe piggy thighs that chafe when you

746
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: walk This hurt to hear that you think about yourself

747
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: like this. But I get your pain. This is not

748
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: how I think about myself. This is the reality of

749
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: my body. It is okay, it's fine, it's dude, it's

750
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: the reality of my body. Is that my thighs are

751
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: It's not a self image thing.

752
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 2: It's this. This is reality.

753
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: My thighs are dowe and the chafe when I walk.

754
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: It is a problem that I is a thing I

755
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: don't like about my body that I am act that

756
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: I am happily actively working on fixing.

757
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 2: Oh crap, I fucked up the microphone.

758
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: It is a thing about my body that I have

759
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 1: accepted as a reality, and I'm actively working towards fixing anyway.

760
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: As a lady from the plus sized community. Also, with

761
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: thick thighs, what you're experiencing is called chub rub. We

762
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: all get them, especially during summer. But there are solutions.

763
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: Most of us wear little shorts. You can also put

764
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: deodorant on your thighs or vasilene on you I'm just

765
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: gonna try to lose the weight. That's that's by the way,

766
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: just so everyone knows, I'm not I have no interest

767
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: in ever telling anyone else what to do with their lives.

768
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: But for me, I think, well, I'm just gonna lose

769
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: the weight. That's my that's what I want to do.

770
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: So that's my plan.

771
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 2: We'll see how it.

772
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,000

Speaker 1: be helpful to me right now. And I'm being a

777

00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: every day?

800
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: And the answer is probably, Hello, gecko.

801
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: I've been trying to think of something to write about,

802
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: but it feels like my brain is turning to mush

803
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: as I think about what to write. Anyways, I met

804
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: someone that has completely changed my life. I used to

805
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: smoke weed every day and sometimes do shrooms, but ever

806
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: since I met this person, they have been telling me

807
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: to stop smoking and quit drugs. In all, it's been

808
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 1: two months since I laugh smoked, and I feel it's

809
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: been two months since I last smoked, and it feels

810
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 1: like my life is worse.

811
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: See, there we go.

812
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: This is why I try not to tell people what

813
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: This is why I try not to tell people what

814
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: to do with their lives, because maybe this particular person

815
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: is reporting that's smoking weed every day made their life better.

816
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if it did. Actually, I'm not a doctor.

817
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm a crazy person. I think I was happier when

818
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: I did drugs. Well, yeah, of course, even though it

819
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: felt like I was going crazy from time to time,

820
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 1: it kind of felt like my life had more purpose,

821
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: which I know sounds dumb, but that is the way

822
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: I feel. What do you think I should do? Should

823
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: I keep smoking like a boss? Should I keep smoking

824
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: like a boss or just give up on it for

825
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: the sake of my mental health? Oh man, oh god,

826
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: this is too much personal, This is too much responsibility

Speaker 1: a backflip. Hey, gak, you can call me Maddie.

838
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 2: What's up, Maddie.

839
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: I decided a few days ago, I want to do

840
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: a backflip off a ski jump. But then a couple

841
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: of days after that, it turns out I'm not going

842
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: skiing this year like I thought.

843
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 2: Damn.

844
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 1: I decided this after seeing a bunch of skiing stuff

845
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 1: on Instagram, including a few cool crashes.

846
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 2: Dude, what hold on? What?

847
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: You saw a bunch of people? You saw a bunch

848
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: of ski crashes, and then you were like, I want

849
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: to also get horrifically injured. Why. I realized then that

850
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: having a bad skiing accident would be the coolest fucking thing,

851
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be mad at myself if my life

852
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: went to shit because it looks cool. Okay, you're a

853
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't.

854
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: I really.

855
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: You look people people know. I think the people who

856
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast know. Hopefully they assume about me.

857
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: I try, I really really, it's really important to me.

858
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: I think that the universe, I really think. I mean

859
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 1: this so much. The Internet is filled with like podcasts

860
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: and YouTube videos of people, you know, being like, Hey,

861
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: this person's a fucking idiot and like fuck you and whatever.

862
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: And I try to be non judgment I try to

863
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: be non judgmental, and I try to be open minded.

864
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: But Maddie, you're one of the biggest fucking idiots I've

865
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: ever encountered in my entire life.

866
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 2: You're a complete idiot, and no what I think you're

867
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 2: Are you trolling? What do you mean?

868
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: You want to have a bad skiing accident because it

869
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: would be cool, Matthew, I'm telling you this because I

870
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: value your life as a human being that I think

871
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: you are one of the dumbest people I have ever

872
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: encountered in my entire life. Okay, hold on, okay, you

873
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: said I will Okay, I'm gonna reread this. Having a

874
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: bad skiing accident would be the coolest fucking thing, and

875
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad at myself if my life went

876
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: to shit because of.

877
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 2: It, because it looks cool.

878
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: By comparison, you could break your pelvis from falling down

879
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: the stairs and this or break your pelvis by falling

880
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: fifty feet out of the air on a jump. This

881
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: is why I want to do a backflip, because I

882
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: like risky shit. Thanks, Lyle, have a great day. Yes,

883
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: I think you're an idiot. But here's the thing, matt

884
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: Mattie is I think you're an idiot, but I also

885
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: fundamental I think in like a libertarian sense, I think

886
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't know.

887
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of my life beliefs.

888
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 1: Are works in progress, and that's why I hate recording

889
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: them and putting them on the internet forever.

890
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,479
Speaker 2: But I think, in this.

891
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: Very moment, on February tenth, twenty twenty five, as I'm

892
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: recording this email, I kind of almost feel like I

893
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: support your right to be a fucking complete idiot and

894
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: do a backflip and destroy and essentially you're essentially you

895
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: want to kill yourself by doing a backflip off of

896
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: a ski jump. But not in like I'm depressed and

897
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: I want to kill myself kind of way, but more

898
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: in like I think it would be cool. I think

899
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: it would look cool to kill myself. I don't think

900
00:51:59,360 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: you should do it.

901
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 2: I really don't.

902
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,959
Speaker 1: If you ask me my opinion right now, I don't

903
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: think you should do it. I really don't, Matthew. But

904
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 1: I think you're beyond my reasoning. I hope you don't.

905
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: That's the best I can do for this email, Matthew,

906
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,439
Speaker 1: is I hope you don't attempt to kill yourself by

907
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: doing a backflip on a ski thing. All right, let's

Speaker 1: write in to ask the wise Green Man for some advice.

933
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 2: So here goes.

934
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 1: I feel like I work lots at my job and

935
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: never make time for what I actually liked doing. I

936
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: used to play music all the time, playing in bands

937
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: and recording my own tunes. It was always something that

938
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 1: put me in the flow state. I left the band

939
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: about three years ago now to do my own thing.

940
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: The band was a bit of an ego fest and

941
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: I didn't like the vibes and I always wanted to

942
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: front my own band, So I left and had a

943
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: bit of a wobble at the same time having some

944
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: therapy but not getting much out of it. I haven't

945
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: done much at all since anyway. Fast forward to twenty

946
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: twenty five, and the older I have got, the more

947
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,720
Speaker 1: I've realized I needed to just do what makes me happy,

948
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: which is playing my guitar and writing songs about whatever

949
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: comes to mind at the time.

950
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 2: GHEK.

951
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:00,600

Speaker 1: This is from Evan subject line Lufa, what up?

1013
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:37,640

00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: Love your vides, but could never get on the show

00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: to tell you this. I'm gonna scold you now, so apologies.

1016
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: I have a random memory from an episode where a

1017
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: girl said her roommate threw her loofah on the floor

1018
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 1: and you were like, oh, I've never heard of that.

1019
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: I just use my hands to put soap on my body.

1020
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: And here's what I have to say about that. You

1021
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: gotta lather bro It's most efficient to use a loofah

1022
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: or sponge to lather up soap until it gets all

1023
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: sudsy first. You could possibly be saving thousands of dollars

1024
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: on soap. Okay, I'm I'm not dude, Evan, I'm not

1025
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: gonna be saving thousands of I do not spend thousands

1026
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: of dollars on soap a day. I mean not a

1027
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: day a year. I spend less than one hundred dollars

1028
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: on soap a year for sure. Anyway, I'm just messing

1029
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: with you. Man. People talk about you saying you don't

1030
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: brush your teeth before bed sometimes, but I do that too,

1031
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: so I empathize with you in many ways.

1032
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 2: Have a good one, gexter.

1033
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: I brush my teeth before bed at least sixty five

1034
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: percent of the time.

1035
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 2: Pretty good ratio. People. I think brushing brushing your teeth,

1036
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 2: by the way, is.

1037
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: Rather new phenomenon in human history. I think, hold on,

1038
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: when did I'm gonna google this? When did people start

1039
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: brushing their teeth?

1040
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 2: Dude?

1041
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: If you fucking go on Google and you just type

1042
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: in when did people start? It will auto fill When

1043
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: did people start brushing their teeth? People began cleaning their

1044
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: teeth with twigs as early as five thousand BC. All Right, fuck,

1045
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: all right, I can't use this as the excuse anymore.

1046
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: M all right, let's keep going. All right, Let's answer

1052
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: I have kind of a I have kind of fucked

1053
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: up my life. Not in a way that can't be fixed.

1054
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: I haven't killed anyone or had a child or something

1055
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: to that degree. But I'm stuck in an industry I hate,

1056
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: with no way out and barely any money, struggling to

1057
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: find a path toward my dream career because I have

1058
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: no experience, I have no social life, and I've never

1059
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: had a relationship. In my late twenty I am at

1060
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: square one. I feel like I have nothing at a

1061
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: time when other people my age have families and fulfilling careers.

1062
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: What would you do if you were me? It kind

1063
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: of feels like I can do anything. Since I'm starting

1064
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: with nothing, But I don't know where to begin. So

1065
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:15,919
Speaker 1: maybe someone else's perspective will help, you.

1066
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 2: Know, Julia, it's here.

1067
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: Look, it's hard for me to really answer this question

1068
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: because I don't. You said you're struggling to find a

1069
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 1: path towards your dream career. But I don't know what

1070
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: your dream career is.

1071
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 2: But like I mean, you have, I don't. I you

1072
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 2: know what? You know what?

1073
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Sure, I'll go on a conventional emotion emotional I'll go

1074
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: on a conventional motivational rant and say that late twenties

1075
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: is pretty young. I am also late twenties, and I

1076
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: feel pretty young. I feel pretty not fucked, and I

1077
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: feel like you were also pretty not fucked. You didn't

1078
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: kill anyone or anything like that, so why are you?

1079
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 1: I just don't know why you're fucked. I just I think,

1080
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Oh God, I hate I hate saying Just everyone, everyone

01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: this and I want to die when it escapes my

1083
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: mouth because I don't. I don't want to be a

1084
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: guru and I don't and I just know that life

1085
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: is hard and fucks you in the ass repeated, I

1086
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: just know, So it feels disgusting to say this, but

1087
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: I just this little thing in my gut just believes

1088
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: it for myself, and so I believe it for for

1089
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Julia or right now and just I. But I just

1090
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: fucked a little bit, and yell at me about the economy,

1091
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: yell at me, But.

1092
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 2: I believe a little bit. Sue me.

1093
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: That perspective is very important and that if you think

1094
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: you're fucked, you are fucked. Right, So the first step

1095
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: is believing that you are not fucked and that you

1096
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: were optimistic. It is the one indicator. It is the

1097
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: one because there are people who just think about Julia.

1098
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 2: Think about it.

1099
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: There's somebody out there who did have a child and

1100
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: did kill someone. Maybe there's people out there who had

1101
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: a child and then they killed twelve people and they're

1102
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 1: in their brain like, oh, I'm gonna be fine.

1103
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 2: You know. So it's moy I think, I really, genuinely do, in.

1104
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: My soul believe that a lot of this shit is

1105
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 1: about your perspective. And if you think you're fucked, then

1106
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: you're fucked. And if you think you're not fucked, then

1107
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: you've got a chance. So what would I do if

1108
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: I were you? I would stop thinking that I'm fucked,

1109
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: and I would start thinking that you have time to

1110
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: do things with your life. You're probably gonna live another

1111
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: fifty years. You know. If you had terminal cancer and

1112
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: you were eighty three, then yeah, you're probably done. But

1113
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: you're not.

1114
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 2: So why are you saying why you fucked? All right?

1115
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 2: M let's see.

1116
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna do one more and then I'm

1117
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: then I think. Then I think we're good. Why do

1118
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: people hate when someone says it's about perspective because I

1119
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: think every I think perspective is I don't know. I ah, fuck,

1120
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,919
Speaker 1: I don't. Let's read this email. Okay, this is from John,

01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: just says, can you do a gecko impression?

1140
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,400

01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 2: go like this.

1142
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Ah, all right, all right, this is well, that was it.

1143
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: This was a podcast, you know what, you know what, listen, listen.

1144
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: I think this was a little bit of an unhinged

1145
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I'm being too self critical or whatever,

1146
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: but okay, look, I've released at least three hundred something

1147
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: of these podcasts. This is just one and we tried it,

1148
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: and I think this was I you know what, I

1149
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: had fun. I had fun reading these emails talking to

1150
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: people living life.

1151
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 2: I drank too much coffee today. That's the problem.

1152
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: There's an optimal amount of coffee to drink, and I

1153
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: went a little over that and I'm suffering for it.

1154
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 1: Not suffering, but I my yeah, we're gonna we drank

1155
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: a little too much coffee today. There's worse things to do,

1156
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: like uh like do You could do Heroin and die,

1157
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: But even that is not that bad because human life,

1158
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: as we've established, is worth a objectively as much as

1159
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:08,439
Speaker 1: a human as a chicken. Yeah, I mean an ant

1160
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: and a human are basically the same size if you

1161
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: zoom out long enough. So use that as a reason

1162
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: either to never kill ants or to kill a lot

1163
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: of them. Okay, go do Twitch dot tv, slash lyle forever.

1164
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: At some point next week, I'll be live streaming myself
