Speaker 1: Hello, what's your name? Squire?
Speaker 2: Uh, you can give me a name.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna call you Ethan, Ethan? What's up?
Speaker 1: How can I how can I be on the phone
Speaker 1: with you today?
Speaker 2: Well, it's still on a crazy past twenty four hours, young.
Speaker 1: Tell me why and.
Speaker 3: How?
Speaker 2: So? I just had an.
Speaker 4: Ex girlfriend from.
Speaker 5: It's a long story.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to take it back
Speaker 2: ten years ago and then, uh, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you saw my message saying it was wrong for me
Speaker 2: to steal her family pictures out of anchor.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you mentioned that you you stole your ex
Speaker 1: girlfriend's family photos? Now, well how many did you steal?
Speaker 2: A full album? And whatever was on the wall, just.
Speaker 1: Like you were, was this from her place or like
Speaker 1: her mom's place or what was this?
Speaker 2: This was her place I was, I was living with her,
Speaker 2: and I was just like, Uh, so, I don't know
Speaker 2: if we if we take it back. I guess ten
Speaker 2: years ago we met, I was married, and uh, we
Speaker 2: kind of we were trying to do a little fuck
Speaker 2: buddy situation and it didn't work out. We ended up
Speaker 2: catching feelings and I was still married, so it didn't
Speaker 2: it didn't It wasn't working for her. So we broke off.
Speaker 2: Ten years later, I'm single, I made up my my life,
Speaker 2: you know, started up my own company, and uh, you know,
Speaker 2: I was doing pretty good. So she comes in back
Speaker 2: into my life ten years later, and she pretty much
Speaker 2: after I committed giving up my dogs, my shop. She
Speaker 2: tells me she wasn't ready for relationships, you know. So
Speaker 2: I have her photos and I'm thinking about burning them
Speaker 2: and sending them back to her so she could feel
Speaker 2: the same pain I felt when my.
Speaker 4: Dog got put down.
Speaker 2: So and I was a pretty pretty big story to
Speaker 2: take on right now. That's where I'm.
Speaker 4: At right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm confused on several aspects of this. The first
Speaker 1: one is why did you have to what we'll get there,
Speaker 1: why did you have to kill your dog to be
Speaker 1: in a relationship with this woman?
Speaker 2: Well, uh, I was moving back. I was trying to
Speaker 2: move into her state and I couldn't find I didn't
Speaker 2: know this was a high risk killed shelter dog location.
Speaker 6: And uh I was.
Speaker 2: I was on the timeline, let's just say so, me
Speaker 2: not thinking what type of stock shelter I took them too,
Speaker 2: ended up finding out like two or three months later
Speaker 2: that you know, they got put dog.
Speaker 1: So so you get all right, so you so this
Speaker 1: woman comes back into your life. She lives how how
Speaker 1: many states over does she live?
Speaker 2: Uh, we'll stayed over a bit. That is this is
Speaker 2: about you know, over three over it's from I'm in Portland,
Speaker 2: So she's in California, right like la? All right?
Speaker 1: All right? And you gave this dog up to a shelter.
Speaker 1: Why do they do that? Is that a thing? You
Speaker 1: give a dog up for adoption or to a shelter
Speaker 1: and they just they fucking kill it? Is that really happen?
Speaker 2: Well, they gotta they gotta find a house for them.
Speaker 2: They can't find a recoming home. They you know, depending
Speaker 2: on the dog, if it's aggressive or not. You know,
Speaker 2: they they they decide to be there. That yeah, that
Speaker 2: is kind of fun. And these were great dance you know.
Speaker 2: I had them from babies and uh, I don't know
Speaker 2: for at least four years before this woman came back
Speaker 2: into my life.
Speaker 1: How how uh? How? Well? Wait, so it was two dogs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was two to two great days. Uh, I
Speaker 2: was the owner of three dogs that kept my little
Speaker 2: friend sheep.
Speaker 4: And uh so.
Speaker 2: That's the only my own new buddy at the moment.
Speaker 1: Man, So you had a friend scheet and two great
Speaker 1: days you gave the two great dance. How old were they?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: There by five six?
Speaker 5: There were just a year apart.
Speaker 1: Damn, that's kind of young to just kill a fucking dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like I said, you know, I actually
Speaker 2: have done more research.
Speaker 4: I didn't.
Speaker 2: I wasn't on a timeline, and I know I was.
Speaker 2: I was committed to this person that I guess didn't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put that on you, man, I mean is that
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how that universe works.
Speaker 1: But like there's got to be something better you can
Speaker 1: do with the like the shelter. Wise, it's got like
Speaker 1: if you're got a bunch of people coming to you
Speaker 1: with dogs, there's gotta be something better to do with
Speaker 1: them than kill them.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean, just were they were there
Speaker 2: for about a month and a half or two before
Speaker 2: I call. I mean because I was I was nervous
Speaker 2: called in to find out they're still there or stick
Speaker 2: out adopted. So once my friend called in and I
Speaker 2: found out that, you know, they put them.
Speaker 1: Down, that's fucked up, man, I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm honestly shocked that that's what they do
Speaker 1: instead of just I mean, I guess I don't know
Speaker 1: what else they would do with them. I guess if
Speaker 1: there's no space anybody, there's gotta be something better they
Speaker 1: can do than that. I don't know. Anyway, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to hear about your dogs. Man. Also, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: put it on your I'm not gonna put it on
Speaker 1: your girlfriends.
Speaker 2: The no no and I Caulay, it's all, it's all.
Speaker 2: It's tall on me. You know. I decided, you know,
Speaker 2: I shouldn't done research, you know, I decided to do
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But you know, I also decided I to, like,

Speaker 1: you were moving?
Speaker 2: So I closed it because I wanted to spend now
Speaker 2: more time in California. So uh, I close the shop.
Speaker 2: So I could, you know, move to California to be
Speaker 2: with this person? And I had to do it otherwise
Speaker 2: I was flying. Like I said, I was flying back
Speaker 2: and forth for a good while, and it became an
Speaker 2: issue that I was flying out, and then it became
Speaker 2: an issue that I wasn't communicating while I was out,
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, while I was out, you know,
Speaker 2: I was focused on my work because I have a
Speaker 2: short timeline.
Speaker 1: When when I saw you, when you say you were
Speaker 1: a community okay, so you were flying back and forth
Speaker 1: to see this woman and when you were back in
Speaker 1: Portland there was she said that there was an issue
Speaker 1: with you, not you guys, not communicating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like you know, but when I'm important, you know,
Speaker 2: focused on my work, I want to get it done.
Speaker 1: And what do you what do you do?
Speaker 2: I do? I do vehicle wraps, and I I want
Speaker 2: to mention the name of the shop, okay, but I
Speaker 2: do vehicle wraps, and uh, you know, I have a
Speaker 2: good career.
Speaker 3: I had.
Speaker 2: I got a good, good thing one hundred and six
Speaker 2: K figure a year for the past. The shop was
Speaker 2: open for six years before this woman came back into
Speaker 2: my life.
Speaker 4: So I was doing I was doing.
Speaker 8: Good, okay.
Speaker 1: And so when did you decide to fully move from
Speaker 1: Portland to California?
Speaker 2: So that decision took place when uh, where I was renting, Uh,
Speaker 2: I was renting out. The dogs were a little bit
Speaker 2: of an issue, but you know, I didn't mind. You know,
Speaker 2: I ended up renting out a house to have my
Speaker 2: dogs with me. I had their, I had their their
Speaker 2: paperwork already, and I could have just rented out of
Speaker 2: house at the yard and you know, hold on.
Speaker 1: Just just real quick, wit, So when did you decide
Speaker 1: to move from Portland to California?
Speaker 2: When the apartment complex where I was living at decided
Speaker 2: that my dogs were they're big?
Speaker 1: What today? Just real quick? So it's it is May
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. When did you decide to move
Speaker 1: from California from Portland to California?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: That was.
Speaker 4: About September November of last year.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right? And then when did this one
Speaker 1: decide that she did not want a relationship. I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to get an idea of the today. This Sunday,
Speaker 1: this is so fresh, This is Sunday. Okay, So you're
Speaker 1: are you calling? Are you in California right now?
Speaker 2: I'm back in Forland. I packed up my little my
Speaker 2: little stuff I had left and it took off.
Speaker 1: Did you move in with her and her place in California. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: so you left your place in Portland moved in with
Speaker 1: her and her place in California, she says, she doesn't,
Speaker 1: and you and you're living there for a few months
Speaker 1: quite a time, yes, like almost a year, and then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, flying back and forth and working and trying to
Speaker 2: like things, you know, because I do. You know, I was.
Speaker 2: I was away from her, and I had my own bills,
Speaker 2: and you know, I had my I had my bills
Speaker 2: I had to take care of. Okay, so the California
Speaker 2: rate was not cutting for me to you know, pay
Speaker 2: that off and and live, so I had to keep
Speaker 2: flying back and forth to make up the difference.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you were went a lot, you were going.
Speaker 1: You weren't even moved into California. You were just you
Speaker 1: never even really fully moved to California. You were always
Speaker 1: going back and forth. Correct, all right, So now I
Speaker 1: assume you don't talk to this woman anymore.
Speaker 7: No, No, I don't want to talk to her, okay,
Speaker 7: And she she and her little courtesy and reaching back
Speaker 7: out ten years.
Speaker 2: Later, because yeah, this really shook fire my whole life.
Speaker 1: Mm hm oh yeah, I almost honestly forgot about the
Speaker 1: family photos thing. Don't let me forget about that because
Speaker 1: we're going to get it to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't forgot about that either.
Speaker 1: You're where are so? I mean this is really fresh.
Speaker 1: This is I mean Sunday, that's three days ago. Yes,
Speaker 1: and you're back in Portland's Are you at your place?
Speaker 1: Do you have a place?
Speaker 2: I have place, yes, Oli, friends are not a place
Speaker 2: of room. Everything's all good right now. For now, I
Speaker 2: feel like I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 5: M hm.
Speaker 1: And so she tells you this in person on Sunday
Speaker 1: in California, you storm out of her house taking a
Speaker 1: bunch of her family photos.
Speaker 2: I did, I mean, I actually, you know, I was.
Speaker 2: I wanted to see if she could just you know,
Speaker 2: talk it out. You know. I did a sacrifice or
Speaker 2: I did a I did I'm not sacrifice. I moved
Speaker 2: a lot of pieces to be with you.
Speaker 5: And so.
Speaker 2: I was just hoping, you know, to to have the
Speaker 2: benefit of doubt, to like, you know.
Speaker 4: Proof that I was committed.
Speaker 5: Or something that mm hm, m hm.
Speaker 1: How you doing Ethan, I'm I'm angry. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, man, I got a few things. One is,
Speaker 1: and you have the family photos right now, right and
Speaker 1: you said you're you're you want to angrily burn.
Speaker 2: Them, yes, and send them right back at her. You know,
Speaker 2: she could live with I have to live with my
Speaker 2: memory is my my dog, so she could live with
Speaker 2: her only only.
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to give it. Would you let
Speaker 1: me try to give you a compelling reason why to
Speaker 1: not do that?
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, I've been thinking about this all day.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to try to give you a compelling
Speaker 1: reason why to not do that, because, look, man, I
Speaker 1: I get it. I get what was behind moving all
Speaker 1: of the pieces. And sometimes people move all of the
Speaker 1: pieces of their life for another person to go move
Speaker 1: somewhere else and it works out and they're happy and
Speaker 1: that's great. And so that's why i've recently, you know,
Speaker 1: not felt like it was the ultimate thing to do
Speaker 1: to not do that. But ultimately I don't think stuff
Speaker 1: like that's a good idea. And here's why you shouldn't
Speaker 1: burn the family photos is because for the past year
Speaker 1: or however long that you've been maneuvering around the pieces
Speaker 1: of your life to be with this woman, you have
Speaker 1: let this woman and kind of more importantly, the emotions
Speaker 1: surrounding this woman influence and dictate what you're gonna do
Speaker 1: with your life. And I think for you to like
Speaker 1: heal and get better, you have to let that go immediately.
Speaker 1: And when you burn her family photos out of anger
Speaker 1: and send them back to her out of anger, you
Speaker 1: are continuing to allow this woman and your emotions surrounding
Speaker 1: this woman to direct your life. So if you want
Speaker 1: to stop that immediately, you would just send the photos back.
Speaker 1: You don't need a whole I mean apologize if you want.
Speaker 1: You don't need a whole thing, you don't need a
Speaker 1: whole whatever. Just send them back and start focusing on
Speaker 1: rebuilding your life. Because if you burn them out of
Speaker 1: anger and you're sitting around burning them fucking fuck her,
Speaker 1: fuck this, I'm pissed off. Fuck this. You know, you're
Speaker 1: just diving deeper into the emotional bullshit that got you
Speaker 1: into this thing in the first place. So if you
Speaker 1: really want to let it go and move on with
Speaker 1: your life, I would return the photos, sure, because letting
Speaker 1: your emotions towards this woman guide you is what got
Speaker 1: you here in the first place. So the first step
Speaker 1: of being like I am no longer going to do
Speaker 1: that is saying I'm no longer going to follow the
Speaker 1: anger that i have towards this person by burning this shit,
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna let it go and move on.
Speaker 1: What do you think about any of that?
Speaker 2: From hearing that, you know, I feel at peace and
Speaker 2: something I should I should do, but.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I felt like like I bandoned my kids.
Speaker 1: You felt like you abandoned your kids.
Speaker 2: I'm here from going like I could. I could see
Speaker 2: the girls, my girls on the daily basis.
Speaker 1: As I wanted to Ethan, Ethan, Ethan and Ethan. Yeah, okay, dude,
Speaker 1: there's still time. You have a three year old, at
Speaker 1: a twelve year old and a fourteen year old, and
Speaker 1: you're in Portland and you have the great you still
Speaker 1: have like you're acting like you've you've burned everything to
Speaker 1: the fucking ground. Man, there's still time, Like if I
Speaker 1: if dude, like if I were you, man, like fucking
Speaker 1: send the photos back and go hang out with your
Speaker 1: kids and go be a dad and go be like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fucking you know, I'm not gonna sit here
Speaker 1: and beat myself up and go fuck this and and
Speaker 1: dwell and go do things out of anger, be like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna cut my fucking losses, look
Speaker 1: to the future. Hey, I can still rebuild my shop. Hey,
Speaker 1: I can still be a dad to my kids. Hey,
Speaker 1: I can still be a good dog, dad to this frendsheet.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: And the time that you're spending focusing in in stewing
Speaker 1: in your anger by burning these fucking photos is just
Speaker 1: a distraction from the opportunity that you have to do
Speaker 1: those things.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, are you there, Ethan?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still I'm stillious.
Speaker 1: Does any of this resonate with you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean I said I I haven't spoken to
Speaker 2: anybody about this, and I feel dumb.
Speaker 1: Why do you feel dumb?
Speaker 2: No? I mean, you know it's I feel better just
Speaker 2: you know, speaking about it and listening to someone else's
Speaker 2: feedback MS in my own thoughts.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm mm hm. Dude, I'm telling you, I'll I'll
Speaker 1: just say everything I just said again. It's like you
Speaker 1: have the opportunity, like everything you're talking about, being a
Speaker 1: better dad to your kids, doing better for your business,
Speaker 1: taking care of your dog. You can still do all
Speaker 1: of it, and you can do all you can do
Speaker 1: all of it really well, now that you're not distracted
Speaker 1: by what's going on in California, And if you want
Speaker 1: to feel better, you would start doing that instead of
Speaker 1: distracting yourself by getting really pissed off and burning this
Speaker 1: woman's photos.
Speaker 4: Yeah okay, well yeah, well definitely.
Speaker 1: What's going on.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just I don't know, I just
Speaker 2: don't understand why after ten years, you know, text me
Speaker 2: from a number was that wasn't even hers.
Speaker 4: And come back into my life.
Speaker 2: You know, why? Why did she question.
Speaker 4: The love that I had towards.
Speaker 9: Her while I was moving all these pieces, like there
Speaker 9: were just too many pieces that that were moved in
Speaker 9: this timeline to just be okay, fuck it.
Speaker 1: Whatever, dude, I listen, listen. I know, I know that
Speaker 1: it's very hard because you've moved around a bunch of
Speaker 1: ship and you have a strong clearly have very strong
Speaker 1: feelings towards this woman. But just bro, whatever you do,
Speaker 1: don't convince yourself that you have no life. You have
Speaker 1: You've got three kids, man, No, no.
Speaker 2: I I know I got a life. I know you
Speaker 2: got a life.
Speaker 1: You got my job, and you got your shop, and
Speaker 1: you got a life.
Speaker 2: To make six figures. And I know it's just.
Speaker 4: It's just the.
Speaker 2: Research is what's you know bothering most? Because I did
Speaker 2: tell her that, you know, if we were gonna try
Speaker 2: this relationship, I didn't want to reset. Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: have to do.
Speaker 8: Okay, Ethan, Yeah, what's up?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm okay. Let me just I'm definitely
Speaker 2: gonna take into consderation just mounting them back in and
Speaker 2: caught mynassis. Okay, Yes, I know, I know I could do.
Speaker 2: I know I could do whatever I could.
Speaker 5: I could.
Speaker 2: I know I could do. I have the resources to do.
Speaker 2: When you build myself ill, I know that's not the
Speaker 2: end of the world.
Speaker 1: Takes a look. Look, bro, take some time to mourn.
Speaker 1: It's cool to take some time to mourn. It's totally
Speaker 1: cool to take some time to mourn, and you should
Speaker 1: and you don't have to rebuild right away. It takes
Speaker 1: some time to morn.
Speaker 2: I was, like I was even to Patrick, like.
Speaker 1: Dude, dude, just whatever you do, don't don't burn those photos,
Speaker 1: not because of anything with her, but because it will
Speaker 1: only deepen your issues. It won't make them better. Thank you, Ethan.
Speaker 1: Is there anything else that you want to say about
Speaker 1: any of this or to the people of the computer.
Speaker 2: H I really think, I think, really think things through
Speaker 2: and I dive in into.
Speaker 1: The what we'll say, all right, take care of you,
Speaker 1: and I'll say one more day. If you get anything
Speaker 1: out of the rewatch this if you can, if it was,
Speaker 1: if it was helpful to you, Okay, rewatch this if
Speaker 1: you can, man, because you're gonna because you also you
Speaker 1: might get like a little tinge of motivation and then
Speaker 1: go right back to being like fuck this, fuck her,
Speaker 1: fuck everything. But you just gotta keep reminding yourself that
Speaker 1: you've got a good life, and you gotta give your
Speaker 1: attention to serving the life that you already have instead
Speaker 1: of mourning this life with this woman, because you've got
Speaker 1: a pretty damn good life already with her without her.
Speaker 8: Thank you, take care of them, thank you.
Speaker 1: Life is crazy. I guess there is something kind of
Speaker 1: funny about like, like it's it's a picture of her
Speaker 1: at Disneyland on the Splash Mountain ride and it's just
Speaker 1: burning in a fire. Still, don't do it. Don't do it.

Speaker 5: This is Ian?
Speaker 1: Has your life going, Ian?
Speaker 5: It's going great? All right? So this is my first
Speaker 5: stream I've watched. I've been working on YouTube for a
Speaker 5: couple of weeks now, So I walked on I like,
Speaker 5: got my trich setup and then follow you and then
Speaker 5: I saw your stream and so I'm like, fuck it,
Speaker 5: I'll send a text. I feel I feel blessed to
Speaker 5: be the first person.
Speaker 1: You call nice man, nice well. Ian, Yeah, you texted
Speaker 1: me and you said that you're a driving instructor, and
Speaker 1: then you wrote after that you said, I guess that's
Speaker 1: a good conversation, and uh, I'm curious, have you ever
Speaker 1: been in a car with somebody that you're instructing on
Speaker 1: how to drive? And uh, they crash into somebody and
Speaker 1: kill them.
Speaker 5: No, No, definitely I don't. I don't think I still
Speaker 5: have a job if that happened.
Speaker 1: Really, I mean, I like, you don't have liability in
Speaker 1: that situation.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean I have like a little brake pedal,
Speaker 5: so I have I have some modicum of control.
Speaker 1: But if you're in that much, if you're in the
Speaker 1: passenger seat and somebody in the driver's seat runs over
Speaker 1: somebody and kills them, are you legally liable because you
Speaker 1: have your own break?
Speaker 5: I mean maybe I don't. I'm sure somewhere in the
Speaker 5: world someone has been on a driving lesson and run
Speaker 5: over somebody else, Like I can see that happening for sure.
Speaker 1: Are you a good driver.
Speaker 5: Personally? I've been. I've been pretty good. Yeah, in the
Speaker 5: past past few months. Yeah, I mean when I was younger, definitely,
Speaker 5: I mean younger isn't like a few years ago. Definitely
Speaker 5: not the best driver. But yeah, I've chilled out for
Speaker 5: sure a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well, now, when you say you weren't the best driver,
Speaker 1: what made you not a good driver and what did
Speaker 1: you chill out to become a better driver?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I was mainly like a pretty bad speeder when
Speaker 5: I was younger, So I was just kind of going
Speaker 5: out super late at night and just drive super super
Speaker 5: fucking fast.
Speaker 1: M Do you ever get the urge to do that again?
Speaker 5: No? Not. I try to keep it under ninety, which
Speaker 5: is still a pretty big number, but under ninety less
Speaker 5: then under ninety Yeah.
Speaker 1: What what's the speed limit where you live?
Speaker 5: Oh, like seventy five okay, so in my mind that's
Speaker 5: not too much, but yeah it's still fifteen over, which
Speaker 5: is kind of a lot. But no, Yeah, usually go
Speaker 5: about like, I don't know, seventy five or eighty when
Speaker 5: I'm driving around. But there's sometimes I get a little
Speaker 5: bit of a little bit of road rage, for sure.
Speaker 1: What you get a little bit of road rage? You say?
Speaker 5: Very rarely? Yeah, very rarely. There's some crazy drivers out.
Speaker 1: Here, really, because I imagine you as like some kind
Speaker 1: of zen master of driving where nothing bothers you. But
Speaker 1: what gives your road rage is a people going slow?
Speaker 1: Is it people cutting you off? As people entering your
Speaker 1: car and taking No, it's usually people all the stuffing
Speaker 1: out of your seats. What gives it gives you road rage?
Speaker 5: Okay, well, yeah, taking all the stuffing out of my
Speaker 5: seats would probably be the last, or it's already pretty
Speaker 5: uncomfortable in my car. But no, it's it's usually people
Speaker 5: that pass like a little like uncomfortably too close. I
Speaker 5: can get you know, some people just don't see me.
Speaker 5: But sometimes it's like, okay, like I see you in
Speaker 5: my rear view. You're coming up at like one hundred
Speaker 5: and ten or whatever. I'm going like speed to it,
Speaker 5: and then you decide to do some super close shit
Speaker 5: and I'm like, I don't want to hit anybody for
Speaker 5: that makes me mad. I know it shouldn't, but it does.
Speaker 1: Hey, I got a question for you. Yeah, what's your
Speaker 1: take on walking?
Speaker 5: My take on walking? It's not too bad, man, it's
Speaker 5: not too bad. I mean, given a good pair of
Speaker 5: shoes and you know, not terribly hot weather, yeah I
Speaker 5: could walk.
Speaker 1: What was your dream when you were a child?
Speaker 5: My dream, like the like dream goal in life.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh I always wanted to be a pilot.
Speaker 1: Yeah you all right? Look I mean like of an airplane.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, like a plane, an airplane.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, I mean you did pretty good if that
Speaker 1: was your goal. Yeah yeah, I mean because you're not
Speaker 1: I mean you're a no, I mean you are a pilot,
Speaker 1: but just of a car, which I guess is not
Speaker 1: that special because most a lot of people, they give
Speaker 1: a driver's license a lot more freely than plane licenses, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't think that they should. I
Speaker 1: think it should be just as hard to get a
Speaker 1: driver's license as it is to get a plane one,
Speaker 1: because it's safer to fly on a plane than be
Speaker 1: in a car.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's totally true. Yeah, it's a lot more. I
Speaker 5: mean in some places that it's a little bit harder.
Speaker 5: I've watched videos, like in Germany they have to do
Speaker 5: some thing. It's like hours. It's like crazy amount of
Speaker 5: hours of like studying and taking all these tests. But right,
Speaker 5: that's true. It's incredibly easy to get a license.
Speaker 1: Dude. You can be sixteen and high and they'll let
Speaker 1: you drive a car. It's pretty wild.
Speaker 5: Nobody's gonna say anything. Nobody stops you. And that's the thing.
Speaker 5: Like I do just like multiple hours of talking to
Speaker 5: students and they're all about like sixteen or whatever. I
Speaker 5: just I talked to them about like random shit. It's
Speaker 5: for a unique position, so I guess it just talks
Speaker 5: them and it sounds like for some reason, yeah, a
Speaker 5: lot of people do like smoking at that age.
Speaker 1: But they're all high. They're all Every sixteen year old
Speaker 1: that you are teaching how to drive is high while
Speaker 1: you're teaching them, because you learn when you're like in
Speaker 1: high school, every like weed person, you learn. Okay, look look, look,
Speaker 1: driving stones is a d uy. It's a d ui.
Speaker 1: All right, you can't argue with it. It is undeniably
Speaker 1: a d ui. But some at some point, like I
Speaker 1: like if you have an older sibling or like some
Speaker 1: some other kid tells you that you can drive high
Speaker 1: and it's not that big of a deal and you
Speaker 1: believe them forever and you driver. And also because like
Speaker 1: driving around in a car, they call it a blunt ride.
Speaker 1: Driving around in a car getting high at sixteen dangerous
Speaker 1: thing to do. But also, I mean, the most fun
Speaker 1: that you'll ever have in your entire life until you
Speaker 1: get a DUI and your life sucks from then on.
Speaker 1: But every kid that you're teaching how to drive is
Speaker 1: incredibly stoned.
Speaker 5: I mean, I believe it. In some cases, I would
Speaker 5: definitely definitely believe it. Well, the thing that's crazy, too,
Speaker 5: is there's no like compared to like alcohol, there's no
Speaker 5: like roadside, real like furious test that tells you know
Speaker 5: yes or no if you're high. It's just you know
Speaker 5: if your eyes are red. I guess I don't know.
Speaker 5: I've never never run into that problem, but I could
Speaker 5: definitely see that being the case every student being high.
Speaker 5: And that's only slightly concerning because nobody's crashed yet, so
Speaker 5: I guess they're doing a good job at it.
Speaker 1: Some people say that they're better drivers when they're high,
Speaker 1: but I don't believe them at all. I mean, people
Speaker 1: have said that about being drunk too, and I don't
Speaker 1: believe them. Do you get high? Do you smoke weed?
Speaker 5: I mean I've kind of chilled. Maybe like once a month.
Speaker 5: I definitely used to be daily user, but maybe like
Speaker 5: once a month now. Yeah, when you.
Speaker 1: Were you driving high? Were remember when you were saying
Speaker 1: you were speeding when you're going ninety when you're going
Speaker 1: ninety five? Are you stone dead of your gord?
Speaker 5: Not recently, but as far as the past goes, maybe
Speaker 5: maybe not. I'll play the fifth on that one.
Speaker 1: Okay, Does that disqualify you from being a driver driving instructor?
Speaker 1: If you've ever gotten high?
Speaker 5: They never asked me about that. I mean, I would
Speaker 5: assume they probably prown upon you being high while you're
Speaker 5: teaching people how to drive.
Speaker 1: But probably never said they do they drug test you
Speaker 1: for that?
Speaker 5: No, I mean they pulled my driving record and that
Speaker 5: was pretty much the extent of like any background check.
Speaker 1: What there should be like a driving school that you
Speaker 1: go to to learn how to drive drunk, Like they
Speaker 1: teach you how to do it so and and it
Speaker 1: should and it's just like it should still be illegal
Speaker 1: and you still shouldn't do it, but there's it's kind
Speaker 1: of like how you know how there's like like safe
Speaker 1: injection spots, the kind of thing where it's like people
Speaker 1: are gonna do it anyway, so let's you know, kind
Speaker 1: of prep them for it. Like let's do a drunk
Speaker 1: driving school where you can drive drunk, which you shouldn't
Speaker 1: do and should definitely be illegal, but if you're gonna
Speaker 1: do it, here's the here's how to do it.
Speaker 5: I guess, yeah, like here's why you did not do it,
Speaker 5: because I guess everybody gets to crash while they're drunk
Speaker 5: once and then say, well I went to drunk prep school,
Speaker 5: I'm not going to do it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what if there there should actually be like you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to get drunk and ride bumper cars or
Speaker 1: go karts or something, but they should really just like
Speaker 1: idiot proof maybe like a dome or an arena or something,
Speaker 1: and like make some really really fuzzy cars, put like
Speaker 1: a bunch of padding on them and shit, and be like,
Speaker 1: all right, in this one instance, you can get drunk
Speaker 1: and drive and this controlled environment for all of a sudden.
Speaker 1: I think that would like curb drunk driving. We like
Speaker 1: a purge of drunk driving. But it was like one dough.
Speaker 1: It was like a big dome complex where everything is
Speaker 1: padded and pillows and I don't know if pillows are
Speaker 1: going to stop a car crash, but you know what.
Speaker 5: I'm saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of like how they
Speaker 5: do like the drag race, Like the cops will shipped
Speaker 5: like drag races and it's like racing racing cop type deal.
Speaker 5: I don't, I don't know have you ever heard of that?
Speaker 1: I do know, I don't know if that had anything
Speaker 1: to do with what I was talking about, But also
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what I was talking about
Speaker 1: even really made any sense.
Speaker 5: So that's okay, It totally dood Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: What's your do you would you ever do a drag race?
Speaker 1: Are you fast? Do you think you could do well
Speaker 1: in a drag race? Me?
Speaker 5: Well, it depends on the car, I guess, because it's
Speaker 5: just kind of like something throng and go. I've done
Speaker 5: some a couple of races that like were not necessarily racist,
Speaker 5: but some like track days for sure, going around track,
Speaker 5: but I haven't done any drag racing.
Speaker 1: No, do you think you'd be good if if you
Speaker 1: were to do drag racing?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I don't know if my car would be good. I
Speaker 5: don't think. I don't think you would like that very much,
Speaker 5: but yeah, I could definitely try it.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 1: One of my I actually might have talked about this
Speaker 1: on the podcast before, but one of my favorite Onion
Speaker 1: articles is driving Instructor has own gas pedal in case
Speaker 1: student a total pussy.
Speaker 5: No, there are definitely some times I wish I had
Speaker 5: like bluetooth gas total because you know, we'll like make
Speaker 5: a turn or something and I'm like, Okay, there's a
Speaker 5: car coming in like forty five and returning going like ten,
Speaker 5: Like we need to kind of pick that up a
Speaker 5: little bit.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I could.
Speaker 5: Totally see it being a thing. I wish it was
Speaker 5: a thing, but only it was a pre pedal.
Speaker 1: That's actually a good. That's a good. Driving instructor reacts
Speaker 1: to the Onion article. Take like that's a good because
Speaker 1: it seems like just a joke at the first, But
Speaker 1: you're right, Actually a second gas pedal would be good
Speaker 1: because sometimes it is it's dangerous to go slow.
Speaker 5: Or like you know, sometimes we got on the interstate too,
Speaker 5: it's like, okay, we need to be going a little
Speaker 5: bit more than like thirty here you have to speed
Speaker 5: them at seventy five, right, yeah, so to give a
Speaker 5: little bit more good things moving along.
Speaker 1: So, is anything horribly wrong with your life that you
Speaker 1: want to talk about before we go?
Speaker 5: Ooh, horribly wrong with my No? I mean muddy's tight
Speaker 5: for sure. I mean being a driving instructor is fun,
Speaker 5: but it's not incredibly the most high paying job out there.
Speaker 5: Somebody's tying a little bit, but not necessarily anything horribly wrong.
Speaker 1: I don't think it can probably makes some extra money
Speaker 1: selling weed to the kids.
Speaker 5: I probably could there, definitely, I've met some that that
Speaker 5: probably could happen. I don't know anything I could get with. Yeah, No,
Speaker 5: I don't think I could get wait with it, but
Speaker 5: definitely I'm sure again it's not outside the ramapossible.
Speaker 1: Why you think you think? You think one of them
Speaker 1: would narc on you.
Speaker 5: I don't know how i'd get away, like in broad daylight,
Speaker 5: like to pull back up to the driving school and
Speaker 5: just like what were you doing out there for? Like
Speaker 5: either ten minutes? Oh, no big deal, you know, just
Speaker 5: just talking. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to
Speaker 5: get with. I don't know if I have the I
Speaker 5: have the I don't know. I feel I'm not too
Speaker 5: good at doing shit like that.
Speaker 1: What's your name again?
Speaker 5: Ian Ian?
Speaker 1: Is there anything else you want to say to the
Speaker 1: people the computer before we go?
Speaker 5: M would I to say, for buddy, it's dangerous, but no,
Speaker 5: thanks for taking my came man.
Speaker 1: Appreciate the podcast, of course, take carry and good luck,
Speaker 1: be so good night. I need I need a Gecko
Speaker 1: instructor who has his own hang up the phone button,
Speaker 1: just in case if things get a little too crazy.
Speaker 1: You know, ian Ian seems like a cool guy. I
Speaker 1: bet I hope he finds a better way to make
Speaker 1: money than selling weed to teenagers. Although I mean, when
Speaker 1: I was a teenager, the other teenagers that were selling
Speaker 1: teenage me weed. They made a lot of money. They
Speaker 1: made more money than I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: make as adults. So, you know, I guess it is
Speaker 1: a viable career option. Hello, Hello there, what's up. What's
Speaker 1: your name?
Speaker 3: My name's Amber, There is Amber.
Speaker 1: How can I what's up? Man? What do you want
Speaker 1: to talk about today on the Gecko Show?
Speaker 3: Well, I recently lost my virginity and it was like
Speaker 3: it kind of suck.
Speaker 1: Interesting like both of us.
Speaker 3: But I mean, I don't know how old are you?
Speaker 3: Twenty four?
Speaker 1: Twenty four? And so you just were is this was
Speaker 1: this like a it was this like a waiting for
Speaker 1: marriage thing?
Speaker 6: Was it?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, the timing never happens thing?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 1: Uh? You know, what was the deal?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like it was a waiting for marriage thing.
Speaker 1: And are you are you religious? Yeah?
Speaker 3: We both are.
Speaker 1: And you said it sucked, So I guess, I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess of course it's gonna yeah, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: definitely gonna suck. I guess, well, no, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say it's definitely gonna suck, because I guess you have
Speaker 1: the pro of the fact that the person you're doing
Speaker 1: it with is somebody who you've you know, made this,
Speaker 1: you know, big commitment to and so there's some like
Speaker 1: comfort in that. But you know, they also probably don't
Speaker 1: know how to eat pussy very well because they've never
Speaker 1: done it before. So yeah, we'll tell me. Why did it?
Speaker 1: Why did it suck?
Speaker 5: It hurts like.
Speaker 3: It's it's like it's uncomfortable, like I've never I don't know,
Speaker 3: I had something like that big down there, and it's
Speaker 3: hard to like relax too, Like, I don't know, you
Speaker 3: stressed out?
Speaker 1: And did it live up to your expectations at all?
Speaker 3: I mean kind of yeah, Like I wasn't really expecting
Speaker 3: it to be good, you know, just because it was
Speaker 3: our first time and I mean the rest know what
Speaker 3: the fuck we're doing, you know, So I wasn't like
Speaker 3: really I wasn't really disappointed, Like I think, it was
Speaker 3: still like a good time and it was like a
Speaker 3: good experience that we both had and it's just something
Speaker 3: that we'll keep working on together and I look forward
Speaker 3: to that.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: That's very nice. How was it for him? Was he stoked?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean we were both stoked. We're both like really
Speaker 3: nervous though, like we both kind of struggled. So, I
Speaker 3: mean we're kind of on like the same boat.
Speaker 1: You know, how long have you guys been dating for?
Speaker 3: Think two or three years now? I think two years?
Speaker 1: And what was it about him that uh made you
Speaker 1: want him to be the first and only person to
Speaker 1: ever touch touch a penis of?
Speaker 3: He's just so sweet and caring and he's someone that
Speaker 3: I can be vulnerable around, you know, like I don't
Speaker 3: need to feel uncomfortable around him, Like I don't know,
Speaker 3: I just feel really comfortable being vulnerable around him. And
Speaker 3: he's so patient and so kind, and he loves me
Speaker 3: so much and I love him a lot too, and
Speaker 3: he just gets me like we're both just I don't know,
Speaker 3: we just fit each other well, you know, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like you just get along with someone
Speaker 3: really well, that's nice.
Speaker 1: That's nice, you know. I get I've never been a big,
Speaker 1: uh like religious person, and I think, well, anytime I
Speaker 1: talk to somebody who's religious, are like, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: like what you just said, there does seem to be
Speaker 1: this lowering of anxiety. There's something what's the app lowering
Speaker 1: of anxiety? Fucking there does seem to be this this
Speaker 1: calmness too. I'm gonna follow these rules, and uh, when
Speaker 1: I get lost in life, I have these rules that
Speaker 1: I can go back to, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like that sounds like it gives you less sure, you know,
Speaker 1: being on hinge or whatever.
Speaker 3: No, I like completely feel that. Like I wasn't really
Speaker 3: religious until like I don't know, like two or three
Speaker 3: or no, like four years ago, and like I was
Speaker 3: kind of feral, Like I don't know, it was it
Speaker 3: was kind of hard, like living through life thinking like
Speaker 3: there's no purpose, like we're all gonna die, Like I
Speaker 3: don't you know what I mean, Like I can just
Speaker 3: do whatever I want, whatever makes me feel good in
Speaker 3: the moment. And I just kind of I don't know,
Speaker 3: like I would get like drunk every weekend and it
Speaker 3: was it like sucked, Like I thought I was happy,
Speaker 3: and like it just wasn't for me. Like not saying that.
Speaker 3: You know, if you enjoy those things, like there's nothing
Speaker 3: wrong with it, but like for me, it's just I
Speaker 3: don't know, I just felt really lonely and all that.
Speaker 1: You know, And what was your come to Jesus' moments?
Speaker 1: What was it that transition to you from being quote
Speaker 1: feral into being a woman of God?
Speaker 3: I honestly met like a really really nice group of
Speaker 3: people that I don't know. They were just so welcoming
Speaker 3: and loving, and I felt like I could be like
Speaker 3: honest with these new friends and I didn't feel judged,
Speaker 3: Like I just felt like like they just listened to
Speaker 3: me and you know, and they like in the nice
Speaker 3: thing was too, is like I wasn't like pressured at all,
Speaker 3: Like it was just kind of I made these friends
Speaker 3: that have to be like really religious, and you know,
Speaker 3: they just they were just so kind and loving, and
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, like how are you
Speaker 3: like that? Like I hate everyone, like you know what
Speaker 3: I mean?
Speaker 1: And was it an easy transition to start believing from nothing,
Speaker 1: because I mean it sounds like you weren't were you
Speaker 1: Were you particularly religious growing up?
Speaker 3: I mean my family was, but it wasn't like it
Speaker 3: kind of felt like there was a lot of rules,
Speaker 3: but like there wasn't any reason for them, Like it
Speaker 3: just kind of felt like you need to behave or
Speaker 3: you're going to hell. So that obviously like very much
Speaker 3: turned me away. It was just kind of like, well,
Speaker 3: like what the fuck, like you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 3: so it got that kind of gave me like a
Speaker 3: bad taste in my mouth, and I was just like,
Speaker 3: this sucks. So I kind of like I did grow
Speaker 3: up in like a pretty religious household, but and it
Speaker 3: turned me away. And then you know, I met those
Speaker 3: people and I was like, oh wait, you guys are
Speaker 3: like actually nice and like not crazy.
Speaker 1: That's interesting because a lot of the times people they
Speaker 1: grow up in a religious household and then they meet
Speaker 1: a group of other young people their age and they're like,
Speaker 1: how are you guys staying so cool? And most of
Speaker 1: the time they're like, well, we do whippets every moment
Speaker 1: of every day. But you happen to meet people who
Speaker 1: are like, no, we like Jesus, and so that's good.
Speaker 1: Is it Jesus? Or is it? Are you Buddhist? What's up?
Speaker 1: Does Buddha make people wait to have sex? What are you?
Speaker 3: It's a Christian?
Speaker 1: Do what you ever do whippets?
Speaker 3: No? I never have. The most I've ever done is
Speaker 3: like weed, and that's not even that intense. And I
Speaker 3: have like a really bad experience with it, like a
Speaker 3: couple of months ago, so I'm like, I don't even
Speaker 3: touch it anymore.
Speaker 1: A couple of months ago. Wait, so when did you
Speaker 1: start when was it? Like, Okay, I'm not uh is
Speaker 1: we as God against weed? Can you smoke weed? As
Speaker 1: a Christian?
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you can enjoy things like within reason.
Speaker 3: Like I feel like, you know, like you can enjoy
Speaker 3: alcohol to like, you know, not to like like so
Speaker 3: much that you're getting like drunk every night. Like, I
Speaker 3: think you can like enjoy enjoy those things, And I
Speaker 3: would like say the same thing for weed. I don't
Speaker 3: really see a big difference between the two, you know,
Speaker 3: mm hm m hm. How do you do you think
Speaker 3: as long as you know, ahead, sorry.
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm awkward as fuck. Go ahead, No, me too.
Speaker 3: I'm like so scared right now. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel like as long as you're like not doing
Speaker 3: those things to like the point that it's like ruining
Speaker 3: your life, you know. But I guess you know everyone
Speaker 3: it's different and have different polances. It's obviously not the
Speaker 3: same for everyone.
Speaker 1: You know. Howd you meet your husband?
Speaker 3: We met at a bonfire?
Speaker 1: That's cool. Well, what was the first thing he said
Speaker 1: to him?
Speaker 3: I don't even remember. He was honestly, like such a dork.
Speaker 3: It's kind of cringey. What don't I don't remember, I
Speaker 3: just know.
Speaker 1: Was this like a Was this like a Christian bonfire,
Speaker 1: like at Christian meetup group or something?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like a Christian community on our campus.
Speaker 1: That's cool. I'm Jewish and we we don't have the
Speaker 1: last time we had a big bonfire was actually when
Speaker 1: we killed Jesus, so we got to do another one.
Speaker 1: We're due for another bonfire. What's there? I don't think
Speaker 1: there was a fire. There might have been if I
Speaker 1: assumed there was a fire when I imagined a scene
Speaker 1: in my head, there was a fire. But anyway, that's
Speaker 1: cool man, And sorry you guys. You guys gonna have
Speaker 1: a kid.
Speaker 3: Maybe someday. I don't want it.
Speaker 1: Right now though, Well, Amber, uh, I guess i'll do.
Speaker 1: I have any more questions for you? Where's the guy?
Speaker 1: Where is he at?
Speaker 3: He's like he's not home right now.
Speaker 1: Does he have a job?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's he do?
Speaker 3: He works like in a manufacturing warehouse?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. What do you do too?
Speaker 3: Crazy? I worked as a obstitute teacher right now?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do you ever get into fights with kids?
Speaker 3: No, but sometimes it's tempting.
Speaker 1: Well, Amber, I'm gonna let you go. Thank you for
Speaker 1: talking to me about stuff. Is there anything else you
Speaker 1: want to say to the people the computer before we go,
Speaker 1: or about any of this?
Speaker 3: No, but thanks for calling and thanks for listening to me.
Speaker 3: I hope you all have a good day and enjoy
Speaker 3: your life.
Speaker 1: You too, Amber, And I'm sorry again about about killing Jesus.
Speaker 5: It's okay, I forgive you.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, we got it. We did it. We got
Speaker 1: the forgiveness, all right, take care, Amber.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 1: It's funny and actually it's kind of like this, I
Speaker 1: guess in Christian camps, but like in Jewish like when
Speaker 1: I was growing up. Okay, I think from what I
Speaker 1: understand is when you grow up like super Christian, they
Speaker 1: teach you about like abstinence and stay, you know, wait
Speaker 1: until marriage and all that stuff. And from my experience
Speaker 1: in Judaism, it's really been the opposite. They really do
Speaker 1: the opposite. What they do is they have this there's
Speaker 1: this thing goes called BBYO. It's like the Benet Breath
Speaker 1: Youth Organization some shit like that. And Jewish people do
Speaker 1: the opposite where they're like, you guys should start having
Speaker 1: sex right now so we can make more Jewish people.
Speaker 1: They basically take all the Jewish. I think I've talked
Speaker 1: about this on this fucking podcast before, but like they
Speaker 1: basically just take all the Jewish kids and put them
Speaker 1: on a dance floor and so they all start grinding
Speaker 1: on each other. And that's that's kind of what the
Speaker 1: messaging is, is like, don't wait, just have sex right
Speaker 1: I have a baby right now, and that puts you
Speaker 1: into wedlock so that you can make more Jewish people.
Speaker 1: That's for how I understand it. I think I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not qualified to literally talk about anything there.
Speaker 5: Repet goes on the line taking your phone calls every night.
Speaker 2: The rep Can goes to on his eye.
Speaker 1: He's teaching him a loud live your life, but he's
Speaker 1: not ready an expert
