Speaker 1: Hey, what's your name?
Speaker 2: My name is Snie.
Speaker 1: All right, what's up? What's going on today? What's happening?
Speaker 2: Oh shit, I didn't realize I was talking to you.
Speaker 2: This is so surreal. I wanted to talk to you
Speaker 2: about my crippling sasquatch addiction.
Speaker 1: You have a crippling sax squatch addiction?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like sasquatch, like Bigfoot?
Speaker 1: What how did you become addicted to Bigfoot?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: It became a very young thing. I was into finding
Speaker 2: Bigfoot and a lot of these cryptozoology of venture shows.
Speaker 2: So it is one of the more urban myths that
Speaker 2: I've come to realizations that could be real.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, I'm gonna hear you out on this.
Speaker 1: Why how do you think that it might be real?
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I don't want to be one of those people.
Speaker 2: But look at the history. If we talk about real
Speaker 2: nat animals that are real.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: The through piss, which was found off of Africa in
Speaker 2: the eighteen nineties, it's a really it's a Dino swordfish.
Speaker 2: To be honest, we thought it w wasn't extinct, but
Speaker 2: then we recovered it in Africa in the eighteen nineties.
Speaker 2: The tape here, which was found in the nineteen twenties
Speaker 2: by South American adventurers. How's it going? And uh, the
Speaker 2: tape here was found by nineteen twenties discoverers, and now
Speaker 2: it's in modern history, right hold on.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. He's a
Speaker 1: big fun he's a giant fucking monster guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how is he real?
Speaker 2: I mean, have you went on into nature?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Another hut strap?
Speaker 3: Ye?
Speaker 1: No, shot touched. There's some shit, there's yeah, sure, there's
Speaker 1: things going on. There's stuff, and there's random weird yes.
Speaker 1: By the way, you know what. Okay, let me say this, okay,
Speaker 1: because I'm with you on this. Yes, the world monsters
Speaker 1: are real. The world's filled with monsters on the bottom
Speaker 1: of the ocean, is filled with giant monsters with three
Speaker 1: heads and two and five eyes and crazy weird monster stuff.
Speaker 1: But I feel like if there was like, okay, like
Speaker 1: a humanoid like hairy, bipedal creature thing, we would have
Speaker 1: seen it. By now. I think we would have seen it.
Speaker 1: Somebody would have seen it.
Speaker 3: That's what.
Speaker 2: That's what what that's what we're trying to do right
Speaker 2: now as a community. I'm not actively partaking right now,
Speaker 2: but following all the uh, following all the news articles
Speaker 2: and podcasts we're trying to discover and go on to
Speaker 2: ventures to pass and actually find. Maybe not, because in
Speaker 2: some states it's illegal to hunt this creature down sous.
Speaker 3: To New York.
Speaker 1: Wait, it's illegal to hunt Bigfoot in New York. It's
Speaker 1: illegal to shoot at him.
Speaker 2: Yes, as silly as it may sound, it is illegal.
Speaker 1: How come you're not joining people on these adventures to
Speaker 1: find Bigfoot?
Speaker 2: Well, I work right now as a bartender, so I
Speaker 2: can't find a lot of time to go out. I recently,
Speaker 2: I was in your discord, not your discord, your twitch
Speaker 2: chat when I was saying a semibe and I did
Speaker 2: go spouting out there. I took a beautiful hike up
Speaker 2: to Emerald Lake and did the loudest Bigfoot call. I
Speaker 2: don't think anything hurt me though, but it was still
Speaker 2: really sweet to shot my Bigfoot representation there.
Speaker 1: I like the idea that you're like doing your interview
Speaker 1: at this bar and you're like, I need my days
Speaker 1: freeze so I can hunt Bigfoot, So don't schedule me
Speaker 1: on those times.
Speaker 2: Well, they don't need to know that part.
Speaker 1: Okay, is this something you keep a secret from people
Speaker 1: that you're into bigfoot.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty open about it. But if it's someone on
Speaker 2: the street and we talk a little bit, I may
Speaker 2: if they're close minded. It's a nice way to intrigue
Speaker 2: and open mindedness in people because it's a really hit
Speaker 2: or midst subject and all these skeptics can have their
Speaker 2: way of life. And I'm here with one side of
Speaker 2: the argument that I do believe these animals exist, flesh
Speaker 2: and blood animals. Then that's a whole different conversation about
Speaker 2: the different theories.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. You said, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if you were just being tongue in cheek,
Speaker 1: but you said this was a crippling addiction. Is it true?
Speaker 1: Does it cripple you in some way? Is it true?
Speaker 2: I mean I think people look at me like, oh,
Speaker 2: he knows all these talltales, so he could tell tall tales,
Speaker 2: you know. But it's like, I don't tell tall tales.
Speaker 2: I just know the truth and I don't. I'm a
Speaker 2: bigod at this point. But uh, yeah, what is the question?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: You done? All right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm just still in talk that I'm talking
Speaker 2: to you about this.
Speaker 1: Well, so I asked you. You said that this was
Speaker 1: a crippling addiction. Do you and you I'm asking you
Speaker 1: in the ways in what you feel as though it
Speaker 1: cripples you.
Speaker 2: Sorry?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 1: Yeahright?
Speaker 2: So yeah, on the Tall Tales, I could be telling
Speaker 2: like it could be a little out there the truth,
Speaker 2: but it's still the truth. That was some investigations. I
Speaker 2: don't mean to sound it's not my intense to sound cryptic,
Speaker 2: but it's.
Speaker 4: I.
Speaker 2: I didn't have a lot of friends growing up, so
Speaker 2: communication is now my biggest subject. So I just kind
Speaker 2: of keep it real and I'm based.
Speaker 3: Not a Chad though.
Speaker 1: Okay, you said, Oh did you say you keep it
Speaker 1: real and based but you're not a Chad?
Speaker 3: Yeah? That is correct.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you a question. Is big Foot
Speaker 1: of Chad? Do you think he's a Chad or is
Speaker 1: he a virgin?
Speaker 2: Ah? I would like to see him as a Sigma mm,
Speaker 2: because he's very elusive. He doesn't want to be out there.
Speaker 2: He's a very Sigma creature.
Speaker 1: I I are you. Do you consider yourself a Sigma?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Of course, but I could have alpha moments, so I
Speaker 2: say Sigma alpha Mmm.
Speaker 1: I liked I remember when I first heard the concept
Speaker 1: of I mean, it's like a meme now sigma grindset.
Speaker 1: But I remember when I first heard the concept of
Speaker 1: a sigma, I was like, oh, I actually like that.
Speaker 1: It's like like you think of like like beta and
Speaker 1: alpha or like this like spectrum or whatever. And when
Speaker 1: I heard the term sigma where it's like it's someone
Speaker 1: who's off the spectrum, like doing their own thing. You know,
Speaker 1: they're like they decided to opt out. And I guess
Speaker 1: Bigfoot is a sigma he's opted out of I don't
Speaker 1: know if Bigfoot is a human order, if he's how
Speaker 1: sentient he is or whatever, but Bigfoot saw society for
Speaker 1: what it was cast himself out of it. Maybe he
Speaker 1: didn't cast himself out of it. Maybe he was, you know,
Speaker 1: ran out with pitchforks and torches because he looks crazy,
Speaker 1: and so he's running around doing his own thing. And
Speaker 1: so I guess people like you who also identify sigma,
Speaker 1: I can see why it would be Uh, he would
Speaker 1: be an appealing figurehead to learn more about and to hunt,
Speaker 1: not like you know hunt, not to violently hunt, but
Speaker 1: to try to find are you are you looking for
Speaker 1: big Foot? Are you looking?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you looking for Bigfoot? So that you can ask
Speaker 1: him questions and talk to him and learn from him.
Speaker 2: No, that's I mean, if that's the case, it so
Speaker 2: happens along the way. But no, at this point, my
Speaker 2: main goal is and for the community, is you have
Speaker 2: this actually documented as a species. There is a lot
Speaker 2: to name for it, which I'll need to go into
Speaker 2: my pictures and find, because god damn, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to remember that borealice of the name. But there are
Speaker 2: actually documented by Jeff Meldrum, like a classification of it.
Speaker 2: And if you go into Asia there's their ring Pain Deck,
Speaker 2: which is the National Geographic in two thousand and five
Speaker 2: put out of fifty thousand bounty that is still up.
Speaker 2: If you want to get rich quickly or not rich
Speaker 2: quickly and get a flop of your name.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you this fine, I really got
Speaker 1: to know this. Do you do you really believe in Bigfoot?
Speaker 2: Of course? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Really yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean if someone came up to me and said,
Speaker 2: chop down every tree and then we will find a
Speaker 2: bigfoot and then it's a non bigfoot believers, uh say
Speaker 2: that the Sasquatch believers, I need to plan back every tree,
Speaker 2: I would say, No, that's too much work. I'm fine,
Speaker 2: but right now, in my belief, I know that exists.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, so I told that. So you said
Speaker 1: if someone said let's chop down every tree to find sasquatch,
Speaker 1: you would do that or you wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2: I would not, And then to us tree planted. That's
Speaker 2: just too much work homey.
Speaker 1: Okay, what I'm curious. I'm curiou us about you? What
Speaker 1: else do you do with your life and time? Oh?
Speaker 3: God?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Just got war Hammer forty k claiming with friends. If
Speaker 2: you don't know, it's like war Uh years of War
Speaker 2: and Halo combined. Uh Space marine style play Valerie. Uh
Speaker 2: work at a movie theater bartending position. Uh yeah, I
Speaker 2: am finishing up getting my a in business. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be alive and alert away alive.
Speaker 3: Enthusiastics, you're killing it.
Speaker 1: You're you're You're. I would call you an alpha honestly, Honestly,
Speaker 1: I think there's something. I think the most alpha thing
Speaker 1: you can do is be happy to be alive.
Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm here with my dogs.
Speaker 3: You alive, and you because at least could see you
Speaker 3: and you're real and I could talk to you.
Speaker 1: You don't know that I'm real. You know I'm real
Speaker 1: as much as you know Bigfoot is real. Because well, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right. I was gonna say, because you you have it,
Speaker 1: you can't see me right now.
Speaker 4: But.
Speaker 1: Uh, well did we talk, it counts you saw me
Speaker 1: more than Bigfoot.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Although I'm a little bit I think like the geck
Speaker 1: or therapy gecko, it is a bit of a uh
Speaker 1: you could classify it as a cryptid. I if I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess, what's your name again? I suppose that if
Speaker 1: therapy gecko is real, then why can't Bigfoot be real? Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take that. I'll believe, I'll accept that as something,
Speaker 1: and I could do a bargin here.
Speaker 2: But I want to make one last argument. If you
Speaker 2: look at the Lockness Monster, and like the body of
Speaker 2: water that's located, if it's originally supposed to first dated
Speaker 2: to be thirteen hundred, I'm gonna say that number just
Speaker 2: so to exaggerate. It's been a long time, but it's
Speaker 2: been a recorded sighting since then. If it was real,
Speaker 2: it need to reproduce, to eat, and have enough space
Speaker 2: for shelter and all that. You can all find that
Speaker 2: in that body. So if someone wants to have a
Speaker 2: Lockness versus Taskquat file.
Speaker 3: Please DM me.
Speaker 1: That's a nice call to action to end the song.
Speaker 1: Send a DM to this guy. If you want to
Speaker 1: talk about the Lockness Monster versus Bigfoot, like, well, if
Speaker 1: you want to talk about like who would win a fight,
Speaker 1: or just like talk about them, like just.
Speaker 2: In general, just in general, like how the why sasquat
Speaker 2: is more likely to be real than lockness Monster?
Speaker 1: And I'll walk out before hold on, hold on, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna fight you on that. If if the I would
Speaker 1: absolutely believe in the Lockness Monster over set over a
Speaker 1: Bigfoot because the Lockaness Monster, I mean, there are things
Speaker 1: like the Lockness Monster that are documented to exist. There's
Speaker 1: the sea is filled with fucked up, disgusting creatures that
Speaker 1: we know about that are probably are more disturbing than
Speaker 1: the Lockness Monster. Honestly, the land is filled with the
Speaker 1: land is filled with less fucked up creatures than the sea,
Speaker 1: But the land is also filled with like crazy fucked
Speaker 1: up like a lion, a lion, and the fact the
Speaker 1: lion exists is a lion is much more I think
Speaker 1: cryptid than a sas squatch.
Speaker 2: But well, we see more lions than we do sasquatch.
Speaker 2: We do we see I could go to a zoo
Speaker 2: and see a lion.
Speaker 1: I hope you find them, I really do. I I hope, Well,
Speaker 1: actually I don't. I'm gonna say that. Okay, this will
Speaker 1: maybe said the sorady, but this will be the last
Speaker 1: thing I say to you, and I hope you understand
Speaker 1: what I mean by this. I hope you never find Bigfoot,
Speaker 1: only because only because it just seems like you're having
Speaker 1: so much fun looking for him.
Speaker 3: I think that I don't want that I need it,
Speaker 3: and I don't want I need.
Speaker 1: It that I don't want that fun to end for you.
Speaker 1: Schmoo shmi SmaI.
Speaker 2: It's one of those three sne Is there anything else.
Speaker 1: You want to say to the people of the computer
Speaker 1: before we go?
Speaker 2: Don't stop ever squatching and keep it very open minded
Speaker 2: people of the Internet. I appreciate you hearing me out,
Speaker 2: and thank you for listening to all these incredible human beings.
Speaker 1: Gek God bless you, sir. Thank you very much for
Speaker 1: calling Moses. Moses was a guy I learned about Moses
Speaker 1: in Hebrews school. I forget what he did. I think
Speaker 1: he's like jew is he like Jewish Jesus. He didn't.
Speaker 1: Jesus did that whole thing where he died very violently.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think Moses died violently. I
Speaker 1: think Moses, what did he do?
Speaker 4: Do?
Speaker 1: They don't know what Moses did. I think he just died,
Speaker 1: like at home or something. Hold on, Okay, my whole
Speaker 1: post call thought is going to be going on Google
Speaker 1: to find out how Moses died. So this is going
Speaker 1: in the podcast, and everyone give me one second. Here,
Speaker 1: I am in front of a computer right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's see here.
Speaker 4: How did.
Speaker 1: It's saying osamivan Lan? How did Moses die? According to
Speaker 1: the Bible? Okay, God commanded Moses to die on a mountain,
Speaker 1: and that's what he did. He died on a mountain,
Speaker 1: but he didn't come back. I think Jesus's whole thing
Speaker 1: was he died, he came back. Jesus was also Jewish. Okay,
Speaker 1: what all right? This was a bad post call thought,
Speaker 1: but we're keeping it in.
Speaker 4: Hello, h Hello, lyle Hi.
Speaker 1: What is your name?
Speaker 4: My name is Frederick?
Speaker 1: Frederick? What's up, dude? How are you? I'm hanging in there?
Speaker 1: What uh would you want to talk about today?
Speaker 3: Sir? I guess.
Speaker 4: I guess I would say I want to talk about
Speaker 4: maybe like purpose in life. I'm kind of feeling a
Speaker 4: little run down, I guess.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Wow, what's running you down?
Speaker 4: I guess just life itself. I feel like I've been
Speaker 4: It's kind of dumb to say I've been overworked because
Speaker 4: I'm barely a student and I rarely work. But uh,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I just it's very hard to motivate
Speaker 4: my motiv motivate myself to do stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, what's your life like?
Speaker 4: I go, I'm a student, I go to college. I'm
Speaker 4: an English major, and I also work at this It's
Speaker 4: kind of like a halfway home for kids. Most of
Speaker 4: them have trauma, and I'm kind of just like a
Speaker 4: counselor there, which I'm kind of just like with them
Speaker 4: every day.
Speaker 1: That's cool. So what do you want to do with
Speaker 1: your with the time that you have from now until
Speaker 1: you die? Which we don't know how long that is.
Speaker 1: That could be a day, that could be seventy years.
Speaker 1: But for but in the well, let's assume how old
Speaker 1: are you. I'm twenty now, all right, okay, you might
Speaker 1: you might get you might get a good seventy years.
Speaker 1: I think by the time you're that it do you
Speaker 1: You sound like you eat?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm trying to die before like seventy, Like
Speaker 4: that's too old, kid me.
Speaker 1: This is not my joke I heard. I went to
Speaker 1: the comedy seller when I heard this, and I really
Speaker 1: wish I could remember the name of the comedian. But
Speaker 1: he made a joke where where he was like, he
Speaker 1: was like the whole idea of like life extension sucks
Speaker 1: because you can only add years on to the end,
Speaker 1: you know, that's the bad part. When are they going
Speaker 1: to be able to add years onto the middle? I
Speaker 1: thought that was funny because it is true, like after
Speaker 1: like after seventy, I don't know how good it gets,
Speaker 1: so I get to failure. It doesn't look you're right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, it doesn't look good, so I can't assume
Speaker 1: it feels good. But all right, let's say, I mean,
Speaker 1: your legs are gonna work for another fifty years. That's
Speaker 1: a long time. What do you want to do for
Speaker 1: that during that?
Speaker 4: That's the point. That's the thing, though I don't I
Speaker 4: don't know. I feel like I feel like I have
Speaker 4: a lot of hobbies, but I don't really know how
Speaker 4: to make them something I can see myself doing for
Speaker 4: the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: You know, what are the hobbies?
Speaker 4: I used to bring it be a marine science major
Speaker 4: because I'm really into aquariums, and I used to work
Speaker 4: at like fish stores. But that's kind of like a
Speaker 4: dead end thing and it doesn't really pay a lot,
Speaker 4: and it's kind of like a waste. So I transferred
Speaker 4: to now English major, but it's also, you know, kind
Speaker 4: of seems like a dead end. And I don't know
Speaker 4: if I want to be a teacher. I've been like
Speaker 4: you if you're.
Speaker 1: If the problem is that you're going into a major
Speaker 1: that doesn't pay a lot. I don't know if English
Speaker 1: is the best choice.
Speaker 3: Oh for sure.
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to do something that I like. I
Speaker 4: liked it in the beginning, but now it's like, I
Speaker 4: guess I grew tired of it.
Speaker 1: You know, well, are you going? Are you taking on
Speaker 1: debt to be in school?
Speaker 4: My parents are thankfully helping.
Speaker 1: Okay, I got you, I got you, I got you. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: If that's okay. If that's the case, go hog wild.
Speaker 1: Study the study fucking bugs or something. Study the stupidest
Speaker 1: thing you could possibly study. You know, if your mom
Speaker 1: and dad are paying for it, just go fucking you
Speaker 1: know who cares?
Speaker 3: Yeah? What do you?
Speaker 1: What do you like?
Speaker 4: I like baking a lot. I've been baking a whole
Speaker 4: lot and cooking. But from what like I've seen and
Speaker 4: what i've seen, like I know is just dumb. But
Speaker 4: you know the you know the show The Bear, I've
Speaker 4: never seen what it is. Yeah, man, that show is
Speaker 4: so stressful, my god, and that just deters me like
Speaker 4: so much. It is so scary to be in the
Speaker 4: food industry. I feel like I'm not by.
Speaker 1: You feel like you're not that You're not that wet.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm not that good. Yeah, like my stuff good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've barely done you're you've barely you know, done anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Of course you can't expect to be a master baker.
Speaker 1: That sounds very close to masturbator. But you can't expect
Speaker 1: to be a master baker. Uh, so soon, why don't
Speaker 1: you just bake for do you? I mean, I I'm
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I'm doing and I'm going insane.
Speaker 1: Do you sound depressed?
Speaker 4: Oh man, I've been depressed. Yeah, yeah, I gotta see
Speaker 4: a new therapist. I lost my I didn't lose him,
Speaker 4: but I kind of stopped going to him.
Speaker 1: Why did you stop going to him?
Speaker 4: It was a new guy. I saw a previous therapist
Speaker 4: for like two years and I didn't really see any
Speaker 4: change in my life. So I saw someone new. But
Speaker 4: then I stopped going to his things, and I felt guilty,
Speaker 4: and then I just stopped going all together because I
Speaker 4: didn't want to like face that.
Speaker 1: Well, your therapist is, they're not going to change your life.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna You can't do anything for you. I mean,
Speaker 1: they can help. You can talk to them and they'll
Speaker 1: help you arrange thoughts. But you, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you got to do stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta I gotta just do something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta do something. You gotta do something, and
Speaker 1: it is hard to do stuff. Do you live at
Speaker 1: home or do you live on a campus.
Speaker 4: I live off campus, like in a house with my friends.
Speaker 4: Oh that's been really great.
Speaker 1: Why don't you think, Yeah, bro, go do go?
Speaker 4: I I.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was depressed when I was twenty in college
Speaker 1: living in a house with people off campus, and I
Speaker 1: just did I got out of it by doing stuff.
Speaker 1: I got into comedy, I got into putting on shows.
Speaker 1: And I was pretty happy when I was doing that,
Speaker 1: and pretty depressed when I Wasn't you just gotta do stuff.
Speaker 1: I think of anything. God damn, it started. You know what,
Speaker 1: you know, what do a bake sale? I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear any of you do a bake sale. What
Speaker 1: tell me about your bake sale?
Speaker 4: Every Friday, I sell banana bread, pumpkin bread, lemon, blueberry bread,
Speaker 4: red velvet last week.
Speaker 1: That's so awesome. How do you enjoy doing that?
Speaker 4: I do? Yeah, But then like and then after, you know,
Speaker 4: after it's over, I'm just depressed.
Speaker 3: Yeah and yeah, and.
Speaker 4: Then I did like. I had a radio show. I
Speaker 4: play music. I'm really into music, and I didn't even
Speaker 4: want to sign up this year because I just I
Speaker 4: doesn't like, I don't know, I just don't feel like
Speaker 4: it's anything.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. No, I felt the same. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: felt the same way I used to. I used to
Speaker 1: put on d I y comedy shows in our in
Speaker 1: our row home and every Friday, and that was really fun.
Speaker 1: And then like the other six days of the week,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to blow my fucking balls out. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't have any advice for you, because
Speaker 1: I mean, aside from doing shit, I don't have any
Speaker 1: advice for you on how to not be depressed because
Speaker 1: it's such a Oh yeah, I just.
Speaker 4: Want it's nice talking. I enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 1: Thanks man. Thanks Sorry that sounded cold when I said it.
Speaker 1: Just now, I mean, okay, good. See this is my
Speaker 1: anxiety thinking that you that you hate me.
Speaker 3: But I mean, how did you get through it?
Speaker 1: I haven't. I'm pretty depressed a lot of the time.
Speaker 4: Wow, I feel like, how did you get past like
Speaker 4: your twenties?
Speaker 1: I mean, like, how did I get past my twenties? Well,
Speaker 1: here's the I guess. I guess if you don't die,
Speaker 1: you just keep going, you know what I mean. That's
Speaker 1: how I got through it. This is just the natural
Speaker 1: passage of time continued on, and that's how I got
Speaker 1: through it. I did think, I try, I did stuff.
Speaker 1: I just I guess that's what I'm trying to think. Back,
Speaker 1: I did stuff, and I tried to do stuff as
Speaker 1: much as possible. And when I was doing stuff, I
Speaker 1: was less depressed. And when I wasn't doing stuff, I
Speaker 1: was more depressed. And I went on this yin yang
Speaker 1: of do stuff and not be depressed, followed by days, weeks, months,
Speaker 1: whatever it is of not doing stuff and being depressed,
Speaker 1: and you just keep doing that and then like until
Speaker 1: you die. Yeah, and that's and by the way, that's
Speaker 1: still what I'm doing now. It's still how it works.
Speaker 1: It hasn't changed, unfortunately. But I don't know, but I'm
Speaker 1: starting to. I think one thing I've been thinking about
Speaker 1: it is I think you just accept it. I feel
Speaker 1: like I've been talking a lot about depression on this thing,
Speaker 1: so you can kind of accepted. You kind of accept
Speaker 1: that that's the the yin and the yang. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a fucking good idea. I don't
Speaker 1: know if just accepting that I'm going to be depressed
Speaker 1: forever is a good idea is good? I don't think
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Maybe accepting that, like life is different,
Speaker 1: as difficult, and it has difficulties and as times where
Speaker 1: it's not as exciting and amazing all the time, maybe
Speaker 1: accepting that is a good idea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's true. I mean you can be like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm depressed now, but maybe like on Friday, I can
Speaker 4: being happy because I got to look forward to Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love that bake sale. Though, that's a cool idea.
Speaker 1: What's your magnum opus of the bake sale? What's your top?
Speaker 4: Oh man, everyone loves the banana bread. Dude, it's annoying.
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's an That's the most hilarious thing I've ever
Speaker 1: heard anyone say. It's annoying how much people love my
Speaker 1: banana bread, because, like I'm.
Speaker 4: Trying to do other resids, Like I was so excited
Speaker 4: to present my red velvet marble pound cake. This is
Speaker 4: one of the most coolest things I've done. And I
Speaker 4: had to give away the last piece because like no
Speaker 4: one wanted it.
Speaker 3: But no, the banana bread.
Speaker 4: I had a guy come in and buy three loaves
Speaker 4: of them, Like you kidding?
Speaker 1: That sounds fucking delicious. I would eat the funk out
Speaker 1: of as it's a Is it like coated and icing?
Speaker 1: Is there icing on the top of the red velvet cake?
Speaker 4: Cream cheese, frosting with white chocolate little bits on the top?
Speaker 3: Bro?
Speaker 1: Where are these bake sales? I want one of those.
Speaker 1: I don't really like banana bread. I'm more of a
Speaker 1: red velvet guy. Where are these big sales?
Speaker 4: They're at my school in Massachusetts? Oh, I would love.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I don't know. We're based in Rhode.
Speaker 1: Island, right, No, I'm not based in Rhode Island. I'm
Speaker 1: in New York.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 4: I live in Well. My home is in New York
Speaker 4: Long Island.
Speaker 1: Okay, can you send me a red velvet through the mail? No,
Speaker 1: don't do that. It's probably gonna get Yeah, it'll spoil. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll just Can we do like I was
Speaker 1: watching SpongeBob. I was watching the episode where Blankton is
Speaker 1: eating a meat loaf that his wife has projected in
Speaker 1: front of him. Maybe we can do something like that.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we can do something like that. You can
Speaker 1: you can make a holographic red velvet cake for me
Speaker 1: to enjoy.
Speaker 4: Dude, that'd be awesome. Can I be your Karen?
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure what I would be
Speaker 1: agreeing to if I said yes, So I'm going to
Speaker 1: abstain from the from answering that question for now. All right,
Speaker 1: what is your name against sir?
Speaker 4: I'm Frederick.
Speaker 1: Frederick Frederick is good talking to you. And also you're
Speaker 1: making me think. You're making me think about being when
Speaker 1: I was twenty in college and depressed and how did
Speaker 1: I get through it? I'll say this. I'll say this
Speaker 1: if I knew, if I knew I was still going
Speaker 1: to be depressed at twenty six, well I shouldn't say this,
Speaker 1: but it's the truth. I think if I knew I
Speaker 1: was going to be depressed at twenty six when I
Speaker 1: was twenty, i'd be like, fuck, but my but it's
Speaker 1: things have gotten a lot better. It's a different it's
Speaker 1: different flavor. That's the thing. It's a different flavor. So
Speaker 1: I take that back. I take that back. I take
Speaker 1: that back because I don't want people get the wrong idea.
Speaker 1: I don't want people to think nothing everything that's dark mess,
Speaker 1: that's a dark message. I take that message back. I
Speaker 1: don't want people to think that nothing ever gets better,
Speaker 1: because that's not true. That's really genuinely not true. A lot,
Speaker 1: it's gotten significantly better in my life since I was
Speaker 1: twenty A lot has changed. A lot has changed.
Speaker 4: And change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't be, don't be, don't be your problems and
Speaker 1: your things that your brain just gets different, it adapts,
Speaker 1: it gets different. So I don't have the such So
Speaker 1: it's I don't have the exact same depression for the
Speaker 1: exact same reasons and the exact same things at twenty
Speaker 1: six and I did when I was twenty Things might
Speaker 1: get better. I don't want to. I don't like toxic.
Speaker 1: I don't like saying that things are going to get
Speaker 1: better because I can't. I'm not uh an oracle, but
Speaker 1: they could. I'll leave it at that. I like this
Speaker 1: bake sale idea. Do more bake sales. Just keep doing bakes,
Speaker 1: do the do you should put up a big banter
Speaker 1: for real. Honestly, if you did this, you would sell
Speaker 1: a lot. You should. You should make a little make
Speaker 1: a sign that said that says I'm trying not to
Speaker 1: kill myself. So I made this red velvet cake instead,
Speaker 1: and I bet you would. I bet you would sell
Speaker 1: a lot. I bet you would sell a lot if
Speaker 1: you had that little sign.
Speaker 4: I would appeal greatly to these college students.
Speaker 1: I think it would. I think it would because that's
Speaker 1: a great thing to do. I'm trying. I'm bake. I'm
Speaker 1: doing a bake sale to prevent me from succumbing to
Speaker 1: the darkness of reality. I think people would.
Speaker 4: People would subscribe to that, my desperate attempt from suicide.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's why I'm That's why anyone's but
Speaker 1: you would just there's something, honest, I think in that sign,
Speaker 1: because that's why everyone's fucking doing anything that they're doing.
Speaker 1: They just don't want to very vulnerable. Yeah, it's vulnerable.
Speaker 1: I think people would you would sell more? Uh banana bread? God,
Speaker 1: I hope not.
Speaker 4: Why you know? Are you are you making?
Speaker 3: Are you making?
Speaker 1: Are you making money doing this?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I make like a couple me Like I make like
Speaker 4: three loaves because I only have one pan that uh
Speaker 4: is the right? Like I have like many loaves. I
Speaker 4: so many loaves and I only have one that makes them.
Speaker 4: So it's kind of hard. It takes a lot of time.
Speaker 1: What do you do with the money that you get
Speaker 1: from your bake cell?
Speaker 4: Sometimes I gotta like pay off the parking ticket that
Speaker 4: I get from parked there at the bake sale, so
Speaker 4: that's like eighty bucks.
Speaker 1: But if hold on, I don't want to hold on? Stop?
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, why sorry the microphone got sucked up? Why
Speaker 1: where the fuck are you parking? Where you get? Okay,
Speaker 1: hold on, stop, I don't answer just yet. You park
Speaker 1: your car? Okay, held I'm gonna I'm gonna form a
Speaker 1: concise thought. How many times have you got in the
Speaker 1: parking ticket? For eighty dollars as a results of the
Speaker 1: space sale.
Speaker 4: Maybe like a handful they like five fine.
Speaker 1: Park somewhere else.
Speaker 4: There's nowhere hose to park.
Speaker 2: I need to pass.
Speaker 1: I take up fucking Why do you? Okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: We've all been. We've all parks somewhere been like, we're
Speaker 1: probably fine, gone back to our cars. Eighty dollars parking ticket.
Speaker 1: I get it. But if you fucking do that five times,
Speaker 1: you'd sew on you.
Speaker 4: I don't want to buy the pass. That's just I
Speaker 4: have the I'm not giving into this stupid ass college.
Speaker 1: How much is the past four hundreds? Just take an
Speaker 1: uber there.
Speaker 4: I got to bring all my.
Speaker 1: Stuff put it in the Are you do you have
Speaker 1: friends that help you with this bake sale or are
Speaker 1: you completely alone? No?
Speaker 4: I'm alone. I would have to like have them do
Speaker 4: stuff online, and like I don't want to burden them.
Speaker 1: You could like hire your friends for the to help
Speaker 1: you out for the cost of all these parking tickets.
Speaker 4: That is true.
Speaker 1: You don't have to let me. I want you to
Speaker 1: know something, well, you know two things. You don't have
Speaker 1: to succumb to your negative thoughts and to the stories
Speaker 1: you tell yourself about your life and yourself and society,
Speaker 1: and you don't have just to come to that darkness. Okay,
Speaker 1: you don't, And you don't have to succumb to eighty
Speaker 1: dollars parking tickets. Fucking find somewhere else to park.
Speaker 3: I will do that.
Speaker 4: Maybe. Yeah, it's just so far to walk with all
Speaker 4: that stuff.
Speaker 1: But I'll be talking to just how many more? I mean,
Speaker 1: what eighty times? What's eighty times five? It's more than
Speaker 1: four hundred, it's gotta be.
Speaker 4: It's like five forty six, No, forty five, that's forty five.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've spent four hundred and fifty dollars avoiding
Speaker 1: buying a four hundred dollars parking pass.
Speaker 4: It's a little ridiculous, I know, But it's more about
Speaker 4: the message comes.
Speaker 1: The message you're sending is that you're bad with math
Speaker 1: and money.
Speaker 4: That's why i'm English major.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with the what? What's the
Speaker 1: plan with What are you gonna do when you graduate?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I already have to spend like another year here because
Speaker 4: I've done terrible and I just don't. I just don't
Speaker 4: do my assignments.
Speaker 1: I don't know, okay, but you do the banks like
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, don't, don't whatever, you whatever? Negative
Speaker 1: hold on, what were you about to say?
Speaker 4: No, I'm just so scared of what's after college.
Speaker 1: Much of Can you work at a bakery?
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe I can build a portfolio, But again, like
Speaker 4: then that, then I think of the bear, and I
Speaker 4: think of how stressful this stuff is.
Speaker 1: The bear is a fucking car. The bear is a cartoon.
Speaker 4: All right, wait, I think thinking a different show.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm started. I've started to do
Speaker 1: this thing only because it's kind of funny to me,
Speaker 1: where any work of fiction I just refer to as
Speaker 1: a cartoon. Oh okay, yeah, the bear isn't real and
Speaker 1: you're real? And how many motherfuckers in the first of all? Okay,
Speaker 1: as you know, we live in a stupid world with
Speaker 1: a lot of stupid not real jobs such as a
Speaker 1: podcaster and whatever. I don't know. People are like on
Speaker 1: the computer, like you're the job that you want is
Speaker 1: one of the few real jobs. Like if you said
Speaker 1: that you wanted to be like a fucking skateboarding dolphin,
Speaker 1: it'd be like, yeah, it's not, it's not I mean,
Speaker 1: so you could do it. In this world. But that's
Speaker 1: you want a real job. The job you want has
Speaker 1: been around for centuries. Spaking fucking bread is a real
Speaker 1: job that you want. So it's not like the bear.
Speaker 1: It's just it's a real job. Go get your real job.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I should. Then I wasted so much money being
Speaker 4: in college. That's fallacy. I guess that's your parents.
Speaker 1: That's your hold on. That's hold on, that's your parents' money.
Speaker 1: If you were like if you were eight, if you
Speaker 1: were eighteen and you took out a loan, if you
Speaker 1: took out one of those fucking predatory college loans, I
Speaker 1: would feel bad for you. But I don't feel bad
Speaker 1: for your parents because your parents made the conscious decision.
Speaker 1: You didn't. I didn't say your parents were Like, your
Speaker 1: parents decided they wanted to waste a lot of their
Speaker 1: money to send you to college. And that's and that's
Speaker 1: on the that's on them. You can't you can't take
Speaker 1: responsibility for that decision. That's on them.
Speaker 3: H shit, I guess so, so you don't.
Speaker 1: So if you if your your parents wasted a bunch
Speaker 1: of money for you to get an English degree, and
Speaker 1: then you but you don't and you don't have to
Speaker 1: define you. But you don't have to. You don't have
Speaker 1: to base your entire life off of that fact. Right.
Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want now, like go to
Speaker 1: co go to finish college. You know if your parents
Speaker 1: are paying for you to go finish college, hang out
Speaker 1: with your friends, bake stuff, and uh, think about how
Speaker 1: you can become a baker. It's not a crazy idea,
Speaker 1: becoming a baker. A lot of people do it.
Speaker 4: Y's not. I just gotta get better and can fully commit.
Speaker 1: Stop watching the Bear. I don't even It's not not real.
Speaker 1: That's all.
Speaker 4: You should watch.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch it. I don't watch cartoons.
Speaker 4: You're just talking about spongeblug. I do.
Speaker 1: I like SpongeBob. I watched SpongeBob a lot, but it's real.
Speaker 1: But that's yeah, But that's real. Frederick, you said.
Speaker 3: Your name was.
Speaker 4: Frederick.
Speaker 1: I is there anything I don't want to I feel?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: I extend. I think I tried to end this phone
Speaker 1: called fifteen minutes ago, but I extended it because I
Speaker 1: I see your plight is your plight resonates with me.
Speaker 1: So I'm enjoying talking to you about it.
Speaker 4: I'm glad we got this. Uh, connection going.
Speaker 1: Is there any other aspect of any of this that
Speaker 1: you want to talk about before we go? Or you
Speaker 1: think we did it? I mean.
Speaker 4: I think I think we're good. I mean, there's there's
Speaker 4: no much else to say besides I mean, if I
Speaker 4: say something else, it's kind of just like, well, that's
Speaker 4: just that's just life. So I'm glad. I'm glad we
Speaker 4: had this conversation.
Speaker 1: Cool. I hope to one day I have a piece
Speaker 1: of your delicious red velvet cake. One day when you
Speaker 1: have a website and you shipped to all fifty states,
Speaker 1: I'll buy a slice of cake from you. I'll be
Speaker 1: reserving you on beautiful all right, take care, Frederick, thanks
Speaker 1: for calling.
Speaker 4: Of course, that it going while goodbye.
Speaker 1: I like that guy. His plight, His plight truly did resonate.
Speaker 3: With me.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have anything to add, but
Speaker 1: I just what's echoing in my mind is this guy
Speaker 1: is like, I want to become a baker, but the
Speaker 1: bear shows that it's the bear is not real. Okay,
Speaker 1: go to Panera, not Panera, what's a bakery. Go to
Speaker 1: a bakery and just watch what people are doing. It's
Speaker 1: very boring. That's what most most of baking is just waiting. Right,
Speaker 1: I've never baked a single fucking thing in my entire life.
Speaker 1: I need you all to know that never baked a
Speaker 1: goddamn thing ever. But I'm gonna make a lot of
Speaker 1: assumptions about it right now. I assume it's just waiting.
Speaker 1: You take a bunch of dough, you make it into
Speaker 1: fucking circles, you put it in a thing, you press
Speaker 1: some buttons, and you wait. That doesn't make for good TV.
Speaker 1: So I've never seen The Bear. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what it's about. I assume. I assume, like most TV shows,
Speaker 1: it's like, the guy's a baker, but he also like
Speaker 1: has sex with people, right, or like fights people, and
Speaker 1: so people in award winning TV shows tend to do.
Speaker 1: They tend to have sex with people and fight people. So,
Speaker 1: having never seen, having never having never seen a single
Speaker 1: episode of The Bear, and having never baked anything in
Speaker 1: my life, I think that this guy can get a
Speaker 1: job as a baker, because if you go into a
Speaker 1: bakery and you look, there's no crazy music, there's no
Speaker 1: guy getting into fights, no one's having sex. They're just waiting.
Speaker 1: They're just waiting around for doe to rise doesn't make
Speaker 1: for good TV, but it's real and I think it's
Speaker 1: achievable by our friend Frederick, and I hope he succeeds.
Speaker 3: O friend Jay, Hello, yo, I what's up?
Speaker 1: What's your name again?
Speaker 3: You can call me Jay?
Speaker 1: Jay? How can I? How can we? What shall we
Speaker 1: do with our brief time together connected in the infinite
Speaker 1: timeline of the universe?
Speaker 3: Uh? Well, first, I want to say love your show,
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. I watch it all the time
Speaker 3: while I'm driving around because I texted you, but I
Speaker 3: know you weren't really like doing the test messages. I
Speaker 3: was just like, yeah, I wanted to talk about being
Speaker 3: a locksmith because I've been doing it for about seven
Speaker 3: or eight months now and it's been kind of interesting
Speaker 3: to me because the people are hilarious. Like I feel like,
Speaker 3: first things first, if you ever get locked out of
Speaker 3: your house, your business, or your car, it's not my fault.
Speaker 1: Like wait, wait, wait what and what sent these people?
Speaker 1: These people lock themselves out of their car and then
Speaker 1: blame you? How does that work?
Speaker 3: It's the attitude for when I'm like, hey, this is
Speaker 3: how much it costs, and they're just like, ah, and
Speaker 3: that's too much. That's too much money. And I'm just like, well,
Speaker 3: you got to pay for a service. I don't know
Speaker 3: what you want me to do here?
Speaker 1: How much does it cost to lock yourself out of
Speaker 1: your car?
Speaker 3: So that's the funny part. So like my thing is, uh,
Speaker 3: the company I work for, they will set by some
Speaker 3: base prices. If you say you call us for a service,
Speaker 3: I'll be like, yeah, this is how much it cost
Speaker 3: if you ask me about it. If you don't ask,
Speaker 3: I might throw some wild number up there.
Speaker 1: Wait so wait, hold on, so tell me. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you have a what do you mean? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: If they don't ask me about it, ask you about what?
Speaker 3: So typically the I'll get sent like the uh information,
Speaker 3: It'll say. It would just be like, lyle located this place,
Speaker 3: here's the number, and you know the type of car
Speaker 3: whatever it may be. And then I'll call you and
Speaker 3: be like, hey, I'm your lost smith, just trying to
Speaker 3: confirm address. And then you'll be like, oh, yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: located here. And some people will be like how much
Speaker 3: will it cost? And some people won't say anything at all.
Speaker 3: So when you ask me, I'll be like, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: gonna be between one hundred and one twenty five. But
Speaker 3: if you don't ask me and you live in a
Speaker 3: super rich area, I'm gonna say more.
Speaker 1: I just that's that's fucking annoying, dude, Fuck you.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: My thing is, it's like we are is this commission
Speaker 3: based so I only get like a page out of everything.
Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes I'm pretty sure that is that.
Speaker 1: There's gotta be some kind of like law about that
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I'm not. Honestly, Well, it's fucked up because you can't
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't say no, by the way, the thing,
Speaker 1: by the way, the whole thing about the it's in
Speaker 1: a rich neighborhood. It's like, well, how do you know
Speaker 1: somebody is not just like, uh, you know, it's their car,
Speaker 1: it's not their house. You know, how do you know
Speaker 1: somebody is fucking not just passing through?
Speaker 3: Because for the most part, they'll be parking, like the
Speaker 3: driveway inside the garage. I'll check I ease to to
Speaker 3: confirm certain things, so it will usually be their house.
Speaker 1: But because it's not the one, because here's the thing is,
Speaker 1: they can't say no, what are they gonna do? It's
Speaker 1: not what do they do? I guess I can call
Speaker 1: another locksmith.
Speaker 3: And that that happens. Or sometimes you'll show up and
Speaker 3: there'll already be someone there, or you'll be competing, like
Speaker 3: trying to get there before someone else gets there, and
Speaker 3: they'll tell you like, oh yeah, I call the other places,
Speaker 3: so you might want to hurry up. There are other
Speaker 3: people on the way, So like I'm dang near competing
Speaker 3: for the money.
Speaker 1: You know how much how much extra you throw on there?
Speaker 1: If people don't ask you, I just say like.
Speaker 3: One to fifty or maybe one sixty, not like a
Speaker 3: whole bunch. Now, if you drive like a like a
Speaker 3: brand new BMW, I might say a little bit more
Speaker 3: because sometimes people are driving like really expensive cars and
Speaker 3: they can afford it, and a lot of people are
Speaker 3: like I'll say a price for a house or a car,
Speaker 3: and they'll be like, okay, cool, here's a tip while
Speaker 3: you're at it. It doesn't it's not like it doesn't
Speaker 3: hinder them. It doesn't hurt them at all. But if
Speaker 3: I see like I've helped like taco bell workers or
Speaker 3: McDonald's worker, and just someone oh who obviously is a student,
Speaker 3: I'd be like just eighty bucks, ninety bucks, one hundred,
Speaker 3: like al thow people deal. I don't just try to
Speaker 3: take everything from everyone.
Speaker 1: No, I think that's fucking annoying.
Speaker 3: I don't believe you saying that.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: Uh No, that's a super annoying thing to do. Uh
Speaker 1: what was I going to say?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: So I'm curious, So you can theoretically, like the locksmith
Speaker 1: I always thought was that's a super interesting thing because
Speaker 1: you can, theoretically if you wanted to break into any
Speaker 1: car correct.
Speaker 3: Theoretically, like sure, what cars?
Speaker 1: I guess what, I guess. It's like, I guess it's okay,
Speaker 1: so people lock their cars, right, But like if you were,
Speaker 1: if you were let's say, some form of career criminal, right,
Speaker 1: and you could learn the trade of locksmithing. And you can, theoretically,
Speaker 1: if you learn that trade, get into any house or car.
Speaker 3: Almost because there I've certainly seen cars or houses or
Speaker 3: buildings that you're not getting in unless you're making a
Speaker 3: bunch of noise. So it's not like I can just
Speaker 3: be like boom, I'm in your house. I will tell
Speaker 3: people though, for the really really easy ones, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 3: you should get a car alarm, because that took five seconds.
Speaker 3: Literally took five seconds. Beginning you have no alarm, and
Speaker 3: you'll have a car that's like I don't know how
Speaker 3: to hot wire any car, but like there are certain
Speaker 3: cars I'm pretty sure you could just literally look it
Speaker 3: up and boom, you've got a brand new car to
Speaker 3: go on the joy ride.
Speaker 1: Or have you ever used your your locksmith? Have you
Speaker 1: ever used your locksmith skills for evil aside from marking
Speaker 1: up your services?
Speaker 3: Not yet? Not yet.
Speaker 1: I had to scary. That's a very scary answer to
Speaker 1: hear from you.
Speaker 4: What is what is?
Speaker 3: What is?
Speaker 4: Not?
Speaker 5: Yet?
Speaker 4: Mean?
Speaker 3: I mean I haven't done that yet, Like there's been
Speaker 3: no reason.
Speaker 1: Why do you keep saying yet?
Speaker 3: Because like what if there's a situation where I'm just like, say,
Speaker 3: for example, like someone does something awful and I'm just
Speaker 3: like they call me and they're like, dude, we got
Speaker 3: to get this guy or girl back, and I'm just like,
Speaker 3: all right, I'll open the car and you can throw
Speaker 3: a bunch of like I don't know shit in there,
Speaker 3: or you can get whatever what's stolen from you back,
Speaker 3: because that would still be considered bad in a way.
Speaker 1: Dude, I do not want the lock I do not
Speaker 1: want the locksmith. Vigilante in my neighborhood so stupid. I'm
Speaker 1: so uh wow, I'm afraid that you have this because
Speaker 1: that's like power right there. That's a lot of you
Speaker 1: know that whatever. There's something to be said about political
Speaker 1: power and you know, social power or whatever, but the
Speaker 1: power of a locksmith, that's a powerful ability. You can
Speaker 1: get in anywhere you want physically, that's I.
Speaker 3: Mean, I would say not exactly because every lock isn't pickable.
Speaker 3: Every lock shouldn't be pickable. So there's like home to
Speaker 3: are really good. Like first off, if you're ever wondering,
Speaker 3: in my opinion, the top lock the dead boat. That's
Speaker 3: what matters the most. That's the absolute of your protection
Speaker 3: right there. Also kind of like what door you have,
Speaker 3: but that's a whole other thing. But if you just
Speaker 3: have your top lock locked, you're good. Like there's you
Speaker 3: can't always pick those and you're not going to get
Speaker 3: in without making all this noise. So and i mean
Speaker 3: in America, most people have a gun. So I'm just
Speaker 3: not gonna go let me be break into this house,
Speaker 3: you know, because I'm not I don't need to do
Speaker 3: that for one and I'm just not that type of guy.
Speaker 3: So it's just like it's not like a Ooh, I'm
Speaker 3: in your house. I'm in your friends right now, and
Speaker 3: you just don't know what types like it's not going
Speaker 3: to be, you know. But there are times when I'm
Speaker 3: working on someone's house and I'll be I'll make a
Speaker 3: recommendation like, hey, you should probably get a better lock,
Speaker 3: or you should get like better framing or something, because
Speaker 3: there are sometimes where I'm like, hey, I would never
Speaker 3: live like that myself, so you should definitely get that
Speaker 3: changed up. And I work a lot in the city
Speaker 3: of Chicago, so like I'm literally everywhere, and there's certain
Speaker 3: spaces I'm just like, you should add more protection because
Speaker 3: this is not the best neighborhood. Like you definitely will
Speaker 3: see it where Like there's places where I go, like
Speaker 3: I'm out at a restaurant or someone's house where I'm
Speaker 3: just kind of looking and I will tell them, like,
Speaker 3: you know, this place would be really easy to break into,
Speaker 3: and they're like what, I'm just like, hey, I'm just
Speaker 3: letting you know.
Speaker 1: Have you ever gotten your home broken into or your
Speaker 1: car broken into?
Speaker 3: Not my car and not my own home. Personally, there
Speaker 3: was an a tent I would say in one of
Speaker 3: my first apartments. I had a friend like me and
Speaker 3: my roommates all went to work. We worked at the
Speaker 3: same place, so we all left and we had a
Speaker 3: friend we let stay there because they like lived an
Speaker 3: apartment above with their parents and they're just like, you know,
Speaker 3: they'll come hang out because sometimes they just need to
Speaker 3: get away. And she texted us it was like, hey,
Speaker 3: you know someone is like jiggling on the doors or
Speaker 3: something like I keep hearing the door get turned. And
Speaker 3: so I think that was the only time there's a
Speaker 3: tempt in my own apartment. I can't really think of
Speaker 3: any time when I was younger that maybe someone has.
Speaker 3: Maybe I just don't remember.
Speaker 1: Okay, I was thinking while you were talking. I was
Speaker 1: thinking more about the marking up thing, and you know,
Speaker 1: do whatever you're gonna do, but like, it will be
Speaker 1: kind of funny if you like, ever take your car
Speaker 1: to the auto mechanic and they like overcharge you and
Speaker 1: tell you that a bunch of things are wrong that
Speaker 1: aren't well, then here's.
Speaker 3: What they do.
Speaker 1: They do. They'll like you ever go there and yeah
Speaker 1: they do that, and there you go there and they're like,
Speaker 1: your air filter is dirty and it's gonna cost about
Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars for a new air filter and you're
Speaker 1: just sitting there like, well, this person, you have to
Speaker 1: you have to trust this person that they kind of
Speaker 1: know what they're talking about and I trying to fuck
Speaker 1: you over, but they kind of are. But you just
Speaker 1: gotta take it. You just gotta fact like like you have,
Speaker 1: Like there's a premium that you pay to have people
Speaker 1: who know more about your things take care of them
Speaker 1: and you, And the premium you pay is the markup
Speaker 1: of them fucking you over.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's funny you say that because I did
Speaker 3: get an oil change like a week or two ago
Speaker 3: on a slow day, Like sometimes I'll have a slow
Speaker 3: work day and I just kind of take care of
Speaker 3: errands because I'm out, and you know, they as they do,
Speaker 3: they'll be like, yeah, all the air filter needs to
Speaker 3: be changed, and that's something you can do on your
Speaker 3: own though, that's something you could just buy. Like the
Speaker 3: best way to not get screwed over by people is
Speaker 3: at least just knowing a little bit what you talk
Speaker 3: about or what's going on. So like a lot of
Speaker 3: stuff is you can google it, YouTube it. So that's
Speaker 3: why I like an air filter. I'll change that myself.
Speaker 3: It's not that hard.
Speaker 1: Like they're Final final question. Final question for you. Bet
Speaker 1: if you could break into anyone's house in the world,
Speaker 1: whose house would you want to break into?
Speaker 3: If I could like break in anywhere, I think I
Speaker 3: would break into like somewhere like government secure, just to
Speaker 3: be like, see, you guys aren't that secure. I could
Speaker 3: get in this normal dude just got in here just because,
Speaker 3: and then I'd be like, you should upgrade to your security.
Speaker 3: Also I entered your fridge.
Speaker 1: I think that would be bro I bet they. I
Speaker 1: wonder if I wonder what kind of snacks they have
Speaker 1: at the Pentagon?
Speaker 3: I do think they have?
Speaker 1: Do you think they have cheetahs at the Pentagon or
Speaker 1: do you think it's like pirates.
Speaker 3: Booty or I think they have the best of the
Speaker 3: best for one. And I think they have like discontinued
Speaker 3: flavors and things like that, you know, all the classic
Speaker 3: stuff that we grew up with. Anything, okay?
Speaker 1: Final final question? What is the name of your company
Speaker 1: so the people will know not to call you. I
Speaker 1: can't tell you that that's fair. Is there anything else
Speaker 1: you I say to the people of the computer before
Speaker 1: we go, Oh, thanks.
Speaker 3: For having me on awesome. Talk to you guys, and
Speaker 3: just try to not get locked out, Like hold on
Speaker 3: to your keys and try not to rest so much.
Speaker 3: That's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: To have a good night. I think I was mainly
Speaker 1: pissed off of that guy because I, uh lock myself
Speaker 1: out of my apartment at least once a week. I've
Speaker 1: had bro I've had time back when I lived in
Speaker 1: La I would I built up an unfortunate muscle memory
Speaker 1: of leaving my house shutting the door, and immediately before
Speaker 1: shutting the door, turning the little you know how you
Speaker 1: can turn the lock on the handle so that when
Speaker 1: you turn it while the door is open and then
Speaker 1: you shut it at the door locks. I just my
Speaker 1: muscle memory. I did that every single time. But and
Speaker 1: so sometimes I would like leave my Uh i would
Speaker 1: be like in my underwear and I'm just like going
Speaker 1: outside for like a second just to like get a
Speaker 1: like breathe real air, and I lock it and I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I'm in my underwear now, Or like sometimes I'll leave
Speaker 1: my phone in there and I'm just completely fucked, and uh,
Speaker 1: it's just not equal. It's a bad situation. And I've
Speaker 1: had it multiple times where I'll lock myself out three
Speaker 1: times in a row, and at that point with like,
Speaker 1: I'll I've developed a strong rapport for the apartment building
Speaker 1: maintenance of folks who who help they get out, and
Speaker 1: uh no, by the third time, I'll give it. I'll
Speaker 1: give this guy this. By the third time I've locked
Speaker 1: myself out. The if the locksmith comes and he like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll be twenty thousand dollars, I would just be like, yeah,
