Speaker 2: Aaron? What's up? Aaron?

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 4: A lot? Gick a lot. I never thought I would

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 4: actually ever talk.

7
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: To you, to be honest, Well, now we are talking.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 2: Now we are here, and I am I am curious

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: to know what it is that you would like to

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: talk about.

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 4: Well, I don't really know where to begin, but crap.

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 4: I have three kids with well, the same woman. We've

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 4: been together for seven years. We broke up for a

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 4: year and she lived in a separate state and we

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 4: kind of and that was when we had one son together.

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 4: Now we have two sons and a daughter together. Since

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 4: she moved to Texas with me, and I had seated

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: on her quite a bit in the past through text physically,

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 4: and I kind of a fitted all of that and

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 4: she just kind of spit against me, and obviously, fair enough,

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: has been very hurt about all of that stuff. But

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 4: on a daily basis, it's just feels like I'm constantly

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 4: being judged for the little things that I forget to

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 4: do or you know, the big things that I've done

25
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 4: in the past, and it weighs on me. And about

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 4: it was twenty twenty she had kicked me out of

27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 4: the house because I was messaging an next on Instagram,

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: and I ended up hooking up with this girl that

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: I knew when I first met to Texas, and we

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 4: ended up getting back together. My kids got really sick.

31
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: I moved back into the apartment and.

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: I get a message like, oh man, like three months

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: later from the girl that I hooked up with when

34
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: I got kicked out, and she was telling me she

35
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 4: was pregnant.

36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: So so this girl that you I cheat, cheated on

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: your wife with, is pregnant or would would.

38
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 4: It wasn't really, So I cheated to get kicked out

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 4: on Instagram, I message to ey right, so she kicks

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: me out. We get in this huge fight. She makes

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: me leave, so I leave respectfully so she can have

42
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 4: the house, you know. And after that I ended up

43
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: hooking up with it. So we went together and I

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: hooked up with this girl and then she we got

45
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: back together in the girl message room and said she

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 4: was pregnant.

47
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: Okay, is she pregnant?

48
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: No, she had the kid. This was like two years ago.

49
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: But then she blocked me deck on everything.

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Well, so she so you, all right, so you have

51
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: three kids with your current wife and then one kid

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: with the we're okay. You have three kids out this

53
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: woman who you're involved with long term, and then one

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: kid with the other this other woman.

55
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 4: So she blocked me. And that was like a year

56
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: and a half, almost few years, and I didn't hear anything.

57
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: And I was taking a trip from one part of

58
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 4: Texas to another, away from the girl I've been with

59
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: for forever, away from my family, and it was the

60
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: fact that I might have a tab with someone else

61
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 4: that I don't know if it's mine.

62
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Was really eating at me.

63
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: So I kind of wanted to went about it the

64
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: worst way possible, made a fake Facebook, found her, added

65
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: her on Snapchat. But when I added her on Snapcat,

66
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 4: I put my phone number in and it sent another

67
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: vcation to my girlfriend like why do you have a Snapchat?

68
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 4: You never have a snappat Then I tried to last

69
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: for a minute, but then I just ended up telling

70
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: her that I may have a chat with somebody. So

71
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: we have and I got kicked out of there. I've

72
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: been staying in my car on and off.

73
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: Aaron.

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Aaron, everything you've just told me is uh

00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: You know. I'm not a real therapist.

Speaker 1: every two weeks.

88
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: Okay, what does your real therapist tell you about the

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: the soap opera that is your life?

90
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 5: Hmm.

91
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: Man, Therapists are kind of like they kind of go inside.

92
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: They're like, well, I can understand why you're doing that.

93
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: You had a bad past your parents, so it's kind

94
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: of hard to actually feel any clarity from that. Sometimes

95
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I just try to be as honest as possible with

96
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: my therapist, Like I just was with you about why

97
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: I think I'm doing these things. I have a lot

98
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: of things that I'm not gonna say. I your on

99
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: your on your stream, but that happened to me and

100
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: my past and that I've been through that coincide with

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: all these actions. And I'm twenty six, man, I have

102
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: to get it together. I mean, I just told you

103
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: I have these kids, and like I'm I don't want

104
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: to be a piece of shit, Like I really don't.

105
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: It's just I've just made really bad mistakes. I don't

106
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: want them to define me.

107
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: Mm hmmmm hmm. Well, so, I mean, here's the thing, this, this, this,

108
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 2: and I I don't know. I mean, I'm not going

109
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: to tell you what to do. You have three kids,

110
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: do you? Okay? So look, here's the thing. You should

111
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: totally talk to a real therapist about this and get

112
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: their you know, opinion and whatnot. But as far as

113
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: I see it, if I were you and I just

114
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: and I just transported into your body on this day

115
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: having made whatever choices I I I had made, and

116
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: it was you and whatnot, and I and I came

117
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: to a point of clarity and decided that I wanted

118
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: to be better. I would start by going, let's start

119
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: with the kids, right, because I mean that's either were

120
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: these children accidents or did you make the decision to

121
00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 2: have them.

122
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 4: The first one?

123
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: Now definitely all acted and I'm not gonna lie, But

124
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: not like we obviously we were having We were just

125
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: doing what we were doing. We knew what we were doing.

126
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't like we were like, oh oh.

127
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: And are you are you what do you do currently

128
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: to try to be a good dad to your kids.

129
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm still going to the house every day even though

130
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,559
Speaker 1: we're not together, and I play with them. I also

131
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: try to help her clean. The youngest is about to

132
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: be one on the thirty first, so I just like

133
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: really helped with him as much as I can.

134
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: With her.

135
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: She's in college now, so I'm just trying to help

136
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: her at the same time, like play with my kids

137
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: and make sure they're the first priority. But it gets

138
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: mixed up because this all happened right before Christmas, so

139
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: this is fresh.

140
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: Okay, and you're still and what's your deal? You're you're

141
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: you're in a relationship ship with the woman that that

142
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: that is with the mother.

143
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Now we're done, okay, and you're for now.

144
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: You're not in a relationship. Are you in a relationship

145
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: with anyone right now?

146
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 4: Nope?

147
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: Okay, I think you know what. I think that's probably good, yeah,

148
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: because it sounds like you got a lot of stuff

149
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: to to work through.

150
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,360

Speaker 2: You have you, you have not yet unlocked Tinder. Tinder

169
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 2: is another person entering your life. Is not going to

170
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: be the thing that turns you around and makes everything awesome.

171
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: I know it hurts that you feel uh lonely and

172
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: you're used to having someone.

173
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: But.

174
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: This is that you have. You just have shit you

175
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: gotta take care of. And I don't think that you're

176
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: you know, and you said, you're twenty six, I'm twenty

177
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: and you know, look, one day we're going to be forty.

178
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: One day we're going to be fifty, and we have

179
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: a lot of time between now and then, and in

180
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: that time we can really make, you know, positive changes

181
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: to like our behavior and our life. So that's kind

182
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: of what I think we want to focus on. And

183
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: for you, since you have kids, I mean, the first

184
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: thing is like, Yo, how can I be a better

185
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: father to my kids?

186
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely so, no, geck. I think this is why people

187
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: call you because although you're not a real therapist, you're

188
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: our age and you understand the generation that we're living in,

189
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: and you understand the kind of shit that we think about.

190
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: And it really is really easy to talk to you

191
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: about this stuff rather than somebody that I'm uncomfortable around.

192
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: For some reason, I feel like I know you because

193
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,760

Speaker 2: if you want it, is like the bare minimum to

242
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 2: do as if you have kids is like be present

243
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: in the kids life and financially support them. So do

244
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: you feel as though you are doing those those things?

245
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 3: Yes?

246
00:13:59,320 --> 00:13:59,880

00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: relationship with them important to you. Absolutely, yes, okay, all right?

249
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: What and then the rest of this stuff sounds sounds personal.

250
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: It sounds like you're trying to like, uh like just

251
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: learn how to be alone.

252
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

253
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a big thing.

254
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

255
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: I just it's so easy to backtrack on that and

256
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I find myself talking to

257
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: somebody or.

258
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know, what else do you feel?

259
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: Like? Uh?

260
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: What what else? What else? What else would you like

261
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: to change? Like if like five years from now, what

262
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: would you like to have be different?

263
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 4: Hmmm?

264
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: Maybe to be able to and this is gonna sound

265
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: kind of dumb, but maybe to be able to say,

266
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: like I'm not smoking weed every single day or.

267
00:14:59,240 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: All right, you know.

268
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: If that, dude do that.

269
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: I don't think that's dumb. And also, you know the

270
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: whole thing about like you go to the therapist and

271
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: they say, oh, well, you're this way because your childhood

272
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: was a certain way. I've been thinking about I've been

273
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: I think I mentioned this on another podcast recently. Actually

274
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: I actually yeah I did. There. I like the whole

275
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: idea of yeah, like understanding why you are the way

276
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: you are because of how you grew up. I think

277
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: it's helpful because you understand it and then you go,

278
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: all right, it's my responsibility to like deal with this shit,

279
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: you know, right, Like you can't just blame it, and

280
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: then you can't, like you get like resigned to it

281
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: and go, oh, I just had to fucked up, you know, childhood,

282
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: and so I'm fucked up forever, and I'm just gonna

283
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: be miserable and and and sad all the time, you know,

284
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: like you gotta is there something even there's even even something.

285
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: I think that empowering about being like, uh, okay, I'm

286
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: gonna fix right, So what I mean, what else do

287
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: you want to fix?

288
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: I guess my anger in some ways. Uh sometimes I

289
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: could have a short vieuse on certain things. When there's

290
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: a lot going on where the kids are all running around,

291
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, I want to be like less jumpy sometimes.

292
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: You know, I'm severely ADHD. If you couldn't tell, I

293
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: was prescribed adderall in second grade until twelfth grade and

294
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,920

Speaker 3: and seeing like how competitive it was. And yeah, everybody

401
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,600

425
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: How would I actually I had one interaction with Leffen.

426
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: So Leffen is U is one of the best Super

427
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: Smash Brothers Melee players in the world who is known

428
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: he's like this is his thing. He is known for

429
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 2: being a dick. And one time I sat one time

430
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 2: I was at it. I used to go to these tournaments,

431
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: and I went to play with him, and I asked

432
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: him if he would be down to play friendlies and

433
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: he kind of like rolled his eyes and said sure.

434
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: And then we play like one game and he four

435
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: stocks me and then he just like unplugs my controller

436
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: and like vaguely like throws the cord at me. And

437
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: you know what, here's the here's the great thing about

438
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: having a persona like being known for being a dick.

439
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: I didn't walk away from that interaction being I wasn't disappointed.

440
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 2: I wasn't like, oh, man, if I got to meet

441
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: left and he was a dick, I walked away been like, yeah,

00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 2: that's what that was his that's his thing.

443
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 3: That's kind of an honor.

444
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of. It was kind of an

445
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: honor exactly. I had this. I had one interaction. I

446
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: had another interaction with Hungry Box.

447
00:25:59,720 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

448
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: I thought this was pretty funny. I was playing him.

449
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: I went to Pound twenty sixteen and we we played

450
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: where he was on a setup and I plugged in

451
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: to play friendlies with him and we start playing and

452
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 2: I take the first stock and I took the first

453
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 2: stock and he looked at me and he was like,

454
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: are you ranked? And and I looked at him and

455
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: I was like, I said, no, are you And he

456
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: did not think that was funny at all.

457
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 3: He was, Oh, I think that was pretty clever.

458
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: Good job, thanks man. Anyway, that's uh, yeah, I haven't

459
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: been to a smash major in a long time, but

460
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: that's that's it. It's kind of sad, man. It's kind

461
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: of sad because I do wish that I was into

462
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: like a a Fortnite or Call of Duty or street

463
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: Fighter or ultimately something something that's like, because Melee is

464
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: only going to go downhill. It's only it's not going

465
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: to get more popular. There's only every year going to

466
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: be less and less people playing it. It came it's

467
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: like a twenty five, twenty six year old game. Yeah,

468
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 2: so nobody's nobody's gonna this is always gonna be less

469
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,679

Speaker 2: Brothers made. It's an old game and the community kind

504
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: of died out a little bit, especially when Brawl happened.

505
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: And then this guy makes this documentary about the competitive

506
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,040

Speaker 2: I don't.

522
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 3: It's just more of like I don't know, a passion,

523
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: I guess, like a really big hobby. So I like

524
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: video games and yeah, once I went to like my

525
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: first one and seeing like competitive gaming, I was like, oh,

526
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: this is addictive and like just especially sitting in the

527
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: crowd and being there, I finally understand the hype for

528
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: sports and other things.

529
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: What. Uh, it's true. It's funny. I was never into

530
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: like sports, but that was kind of like my version

531
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: of sports was it was, yeah, I got it at

532
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: that point.

533
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: Exactly.

534
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's funny because the like the biggest esports

535
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: in the world are like mobia games like League of

536
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: Legends and DODA yes. And I don't get that because, like,

537
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: you could be any random motherfucker. You could be like

538
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: sixty year old boomer person and you could be looking

539
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: at a And that's why I don't get why, like

540
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: fighting games aren't the most popular, because you could be

541
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: like a boomer and watching a fighting game and be like, okay,

542
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: the one the guy getting hit a lot is losing.

543
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: Like you understand the concept of a fight, right, But

544
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: I look at a moba and I have no idea

545
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: what's going on?

546
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot going on definitely, uh yeah, Like yeah,

547
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 3: especially in League.

548
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: What do you what do you work in? If not

549
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: video games?

550
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: I work for an online technology company that does like

551
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: online monitoring for kind of like the best way I

552
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: can describe it is I do monitoring for like looking

553
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: out for like school shooters and other violence and other things.

554
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: Do you see Do you see a lot of fucked

555
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: up stuff all the time on the internet?

556
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: I do.

557
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: I do. Yeah, well, actually not too much, just because

558
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 3: I was kind of already interested in it and like

559
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: it's interesting. We get to sometimes, like train with like

560
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 3: the FBI, and sometimes through that we'll see like really

561
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: graphic images of like crime scenes.

562
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 4: Uh.

563
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 3: And actually, like whenever I first went into it, I

564
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: thought it was gonna be kind of like disappointing or

565
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 3: I was going to be like, oh, no, the youth

566
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: is so like negative. But actually a lot of things

567
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: that I see, like a lot of younger kids are

568
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: really supportive of each other, uh and like really against

569
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: bullying and and like surprisingly like a lot of times

570
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: you don't hear about it, but they are stopping like

571
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 3: school shootings and another school violence like bombing and things

572
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: up pretty frequently, which is so well, I guess that

573
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 3: probably sounds negative, but no, that's not.

574
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: That what why I feel like that's well, I guess

575
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: you're right. I guess that's a double edged sword because

576
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: it is positive, but I guess negative that there it's

577
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: happening in the first place. Yeah, but I mean that's nice.

578
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: That's so okay, because here's the thing I I I

579
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: I worry for the children, you know what I mean,

580
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: because they're kind of fucked up.

581
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

582
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so he that you're you know, you're monitoring

583
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: their chats. Wait, so that fucking government liked. Do they

584
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 2: actually they monitor well our ship like that. I can't

585
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: whistle whist the Therapy Gecko podcast right now.

586
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: So the company worked for it. I can't say their name,

587
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: but we're kind of like we try to be as

588
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: non invasive as possible. So you'd have to type something

589
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: or do something on a computer that the school has

590
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: like paid to sign up for monitoring. So a lot

591
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: of times, you know, it'll have to be like I'm

592
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 3: going to bring a gun or I have a gun,

593
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 3: or I'm gonna shoot up a school, and then you

594
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: kind of trigger something and then I review it and

595
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 3: then if I have to call the school or if

596
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: I have to call the police. We also do like

597
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: suicide uh watching Sometimes the funniest part is it will

598
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 3: trigger for I see a lot of porn, and then

599
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: I also see like a lot of fan fiction that

600
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 3: the kids will write. And the fan fiction is always

601
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 3: really funny because sometimes it'll be like, oh no, it

602
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: is this child talking to an adult like this, but

603
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: it's just I'm writing like a Wolf fan fiction or

604
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 3: Harry Potter or something.

605
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: So these are like, oh so this is like on

606
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: this is like on the school computer.

607
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Okay, Okay, I.

608
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: Mean, I mean yeah, I feel like if you're watching

609
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 2: porn and talking about bringing a gun in on the

610
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 2: school computer, you kind of fuck around.

611
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: And find out, right, Yeah.

612
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 2: What about kids who are like I feel like there's

613
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: a lot of the school shooter genre of joke is

614
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: oh is out? Like how many times is a kid

615
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: like I'm going to bring a gun to school? But

616
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: he's he's just uh, he's just he's just trolling.

617
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: Well, so that definitely happens. That's kind of part of

618
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: my job is I have to go and look and

619
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 3: kind of make like the judgment or the call. We're

620
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 3: always going to air like on the side of caution.

621
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 3: But there are some schools where they've already had shootings

622
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 3: in their school, so they'll be like very serious about it,

623
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 3: and any type of like joke or comments they kind

624
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 3: of want to know. So you'll end up emailing the

625
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 3: counselor or calling them let them know, and then they'll

626
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 3: review it. Yeah, just because well obviously like a serious issue,

627
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: but a lot of kids will also make like, you know,

628
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 3: like when you're having a shitty day, like how I

629
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 3: want to kill myself or and they don't really mean

630
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 3: that they literally want to die. But that's also part

631
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 3: of my job is just making the determination of that

632
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 3: and deciding what to do.

633
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 2: Do you think the kids will be all right?

634
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: I really do. I really do think the kids will

635
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 3: be alright. I definitely do.

636
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 2: Well, that's reassuring. Well, what what do you who do

637
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 2: you mean in street Fighter? Is that street Fighter your

638
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: main fighting game?

639
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: No? I would definitely say it's Melee?

640
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: Are you good?

641
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 3: Absolutely no, No, I mean I wouldn't say I am.

642
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: I got you know what I should? I want to

643
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: do a twitch stream one day where I I I

644
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,479
Speaker 2: fuck I Slippy net play people. I actually did that once.

645
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 2: I actually I remember a long time ago. I was

646
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: I was streamed like as a Gecko and then I

647
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 2: uh said, like I was on I was either on

648
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: the phone with somebody or in the chat with somebody,

649
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: and they were like, yo, I play I'm down to

650
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: play you. And I just streamed myself like I was

651
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: doing actual video game twitch streaming, and I streamed myself

652
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: on Slippy. For those who don't know, Slippy is when

653
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: you can play Melee online with other people. And I

654
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 2: streamed myself on Slippy and I just got my fucking

655
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 2: ass whooped.

656
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, then it gets pretty brutal on there. Some people

657
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 3: are well, I mean, yeah, a lot of people are

658
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 3: really good. I was surprised.

659
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 2: Do you play online? Yeah? Are you good?

660
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: No, it's mainly for fun, yeah, just mainly mainly for

661
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 3: fun a hobby. I mean, some of my friends are

662
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: really really good. But I'm just a casual player. I

663
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 3: mean I play Kirby so that if anyone knows that

664
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 3: kind of speaks for itself.

665
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 2: Well, certainty it was I will I'll say this. I'll

666
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: say it was serene to talk to you. You probably get

667
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: jokes about your name. I've realized every time I make

668
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: a joke about someone's name, they look at me, uh,

669
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: with such a disgust because they've heard that joke a

670
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: hundred times. But Serenity, it was serene to talk to you.

671

00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 3: Honest to goodness?

698
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 7: Life should be going great?

699
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 2: Life should be going great? Why? Why?

700
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 4: Uh?

701
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 2: Why this should?

702
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 5: Well?

703
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 7: I don't know. I got my dream job. Things have

704
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 7: been going great for me, but I don't know. I

705
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 7: lack the sense of community. I don't talk to anybody. Yeah,

706
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 7: and I don't know it just things have just been

707
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 7: going great for me in every on paper way. But

708
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 7: I just feel like things just haven't been living up

709
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 7: to their expectations.

710
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: You know, through most of my life, I've been a

711
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 2: fairly I mean, I've always had. I've always had a

712
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: lot of good friends. I've always had a lot of

713
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 2: good friends. But I think in my mind, i've always

714
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 2: I've been attached to like stoicism in this sense of

715
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: there's what you can and what you can't control. And

716
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: one of the great eighth difficulties of life is that

717
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 2: you cannot control other people unless if you're like a

718
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 2: crazy person, then you try. Then you like form a

719
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: then you try really hard to like feed people poison

720
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 2: and control them and all that stuff.

721
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 6: But but but normally, but normally, normally it's like, you know,

722
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 6: I'm I'm I try to focus in the realm of

723
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 6: what I can control and then not what I can't control.

724
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: And so community is a tricky one because it's really important.

725
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: You can't just be an isolationist. You can't just fucking

726
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: not talk to anybody or have no friends or you

727
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: just can't do it. And I'm trying, I'm in my head,

728
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll, you know, I'm all I'm responsible for

729
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 2: solving all my problems, right, so how do I solve

730
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 2: a problem that, uh is, this has nothing to do

731
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: with that has nothing to do with me, because it's

732
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 2: about other people, right, it's like, how do you You

733
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: can't make somebody love you, you can't make somebody be

734
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 2: your friends. But and I've been thinking about this a lot,

735
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 2: because I've to think about this my whole life, and

736
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: I think you can. What is within your control is

737
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: to put yourself in more situations where you are around

738
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 2: other people.

739
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 7: And uh, but that's the real problem. That's the real problem.

740
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 7: Is that in this day and age, I can try

741
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 7: to go and go to a bar, or maybe go

742
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 7: out and try more social exercises and do more athletic

743
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 7: things that can bring friends to you. But the truth

744
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 7: of the matter is is that in this day and age,

745
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 7: it's really hard to try to make friends. Like all

746
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 7: of my friends at this point are seven hours away.

747
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 7: I've moved so far away from all the people that

748
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 7: I've grown that I've learned these things from that I've

749
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 7: developed friendships with to try to take this dream job

750
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 7: that I can have a salary that can allow me

751
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 7: to survive in this economy. But the truth is is

752
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 7: just that now that I've find only have some level

753
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 7: of affluence, I've lost all of the social characteristics that

754
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 7: give me the ability to be the person to give

755
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 7: those people the person that I want to be.

756
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that sounds that sounds juicy. How what where

757
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 2: do you live.

758
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 4: Right now?

759
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 7: I'm living in North Carolina. I grew up in in

760
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 7: upstate New York, but I moved to Tennessee when I

761
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 7: was a kid, and I developed these friendships when I

762
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 7: was a teenager that actually gave me friends that were

763
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 7: real friends. And then as soon as I got a

764
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 7: good job offer, I moved away to North Carolina to

765
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 7: you know, to have that sense to move on with

766
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 7: my life and be a person and gain the job

767
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 7: that I've been working for for a long time to get. Yeah,

768
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 7: and then all of a sudden, once I had it,

769
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 7: I've lost everything.

770
00:43:55,320 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, very tricky, very tricky. Hmmm mmmmmmm. Okay, what

771
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: have you done? And you do you live in like

772
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 2: a big city in North Carolina?

773
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 7: I am about an hour north of Charlotte, so I'm

774
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 7: in a smaller city area, but it's and I I mean,

775
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 7: I can't afford gas to drive towards a larger city

776
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 7: or even I mean, truthfully, I just spent my last

777
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 7: hour watching a football game and you know, just having

778
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 7: some maide in the oven pizza and that was the

779
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 7: best part of my week.

780
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, dude, Yeah, dude, I'm laughing. I'm sorry. I

781
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: said that's juicy, and I laughed only I it's I

Speaker 7: community and a lot of as of friendship there. But

00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: Okay, so what you what you should do is take

821
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: those hobbies right like three D printing and uh building

822
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: and here here if I could can I, if I

823
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 2: could give you some homework, and I'll do it too.

824
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 2: If I give you some homework, would be to take

825
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 2: that hobby that you have to build, because that's what

826
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 2: you just described is really great. Actually, so like the

827
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: hobby of you know, three D printing of building things.

828
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 2: Charlotte's uh uh m hmm. Yeah. Okay, you live in

829
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: you live in somewhere that's big enough I think for

830
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 2: you to do this. Iither find think about different groups,

831
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 2: different in persons, social groups like a robotics club like

832
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: uh like like when you like, when you were in college,

833
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 2: they had all these clubs. Right, there's clubs. Club clubs

834
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 2: still exist, they still exist even as an adult. So

835
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 2: I would think of some clubs that are related to building,

836
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 2: whether it's like a fucking architect meetup or a hackathon

837
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 2: or some ship like that. Right, Okay, So you scour

838
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: the internet. You scour Facebook and meet up and Google

839
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 2: and Craigslist, and well, don't scour too much on Craigslist

840
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 2: because then you'll end up sucking a guy's talk. That

841
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 2: wasn't funny, you know, I tried, I was, I was like,

842
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 2: that wasn't funny. I wish I didn't say that. No,

843
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 2: it wasn't. It wasn't funny, it was it was happy,

844
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 2: it was that wasn't funny. Uh okay, So so do that, right,

845
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: and here's what you here's the here's the key, here's

846

Speaker 2: Thanks.

873
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 7: I just want to ask you this question. Purely in

874
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 7: this day and age. All right, we've lost so much

875
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 7: when it comes to social interaction. What would be your

876
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 7: advice to somebody who's trying to make friends, who's trying

877
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 7: to meet people, who's trying to get out of this

878
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 7: horrible social bubble that we've constructed over the last few years,

879
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 7: to meet people in person? What is your advice?

880
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I just I just gave I

881
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 2: just told you my advice. That's exactly my advice.

882
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 7: And for me personally, no, no, for me personally, but

883
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 7: I genuinely need that, like for all the rest of

884
00:49:59,080 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 7: the people who are listening.

885
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 2: No, but but but but it wasn't It wasn't for

886
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 2: you personally. It wasn't for you personally. It was a

887
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 2: very practical thing. It was what are your hobbies, what

888
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: are your interests? What are you naturally attracted to? That's

889
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 2: what I asked you. You said, it's building, And so

890
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 2: it's okay, take all of your natural hobbies and things

891
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 2: that you're into and attracted to, and you go out

892
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 2: and you find in person events related to them, and

893
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 2: if those don't exist, you create them. That's the advice. Yeah.

894
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 2: And also, I'm not I'm not one hundred percent convinced

895
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 2: that I agree with you that we are in the

896
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 2: least connected age ever.

897
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 7: It's oh, we're in the most connected age ever, but

898
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 7: not the most socially connected age ever. Where people can

899
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 7: see each other in person. You want to meet someone online,

900
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 7: you can meet them in line in a second. If

901
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 7: you want to find someone who has the same interest

902
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 7: as you, you can meet them hands down, way faster

903
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 7: than you ever could before. But the truth is that

904
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 7: this this person to person connection that you can find

905
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 7: from just meeting people in person. I feel like we've.

906
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 2: Lost well, how old are you? Twenty three?

907
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 6: Yeah?

908
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well I'm I'm you And I don't really have

909
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 2: a good sample size for that because we're of the

910
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 2: age that where we grew up with with I don't

911
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 2: we don't remember a time where there wasn't an internet.

912
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 6: I don't know if you've talked.

913
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: To people who who who do But but I'm gonna

914
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna that whole question. Are we lonelier now than

915
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 2: we were before? Is uh? I don't necessarily think I

916
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 2: agree with that, because the Internet holds so much better

917
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 2: everything I just told you to do, Find an interest,

918
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 2: find and then find an in person group that relates

919
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 2: to interest, and then that doesn't exist create it. That

920
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 2: whole process that I just told you is a thousand

921
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 2: times easier with the Internet.

922
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, it definitely is because you can just

923
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 7: go on whatever whatever social media website you want to

924
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 7: choose and find people and find a group.

925
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can hand.

926
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 2: That and it's never been easier to go suck a

927
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 2: random guy's cock, which is a form of connection.

928
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 7: God bless Craigslist.

929
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 2: What's your name again? Write potato man, Write potato man. Well,

930
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 2: are you gonna be honest with man? It's fine if not.

931
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 2: Are you gonna do this?

932
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 7: I'm gonna try.

933
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 2: I'll let you finish. I'm sorry, I let you finish.

934
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

935
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 7: No, I'm gonna be honest with you. I've thought of

936
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 7: doing this before. I genuinely have. And to be honest

937
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 7: with you, there's a lot of trepidation that comes from

938
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 7: the fact that just should I should I not? But

939
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 7: the fact that I've actually been able to get on

940
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 7: the phone with you after all the streams I've watched

941
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 7: with you. I'm going to try to do it because

942
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 7: you motivate me to do it.

943
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 2: Please, dear fucking God, if this works for you, let

944
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 2: me send me like an Instagram DM. I would love

945
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 2: to know if this worked for you. What was I

946
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 2: gonna say? Well? What else are you gonna do? Right?

947
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 2: Are you just gonna rot and die?

948
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 7: No, to be honest with you, I like I said,

949
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 7: I have the job I've wanted for a very long time.

950
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 7: I've been working towards mechatronics for a very long time.

951
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 7: I have a job that's giving me an internship of mechatronics.

952
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 7: I shouldn't have Priuthfully, I shouldn't have gotten this job.

953
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 7: If it wasn't for the lack of people in the

954
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 7: market right now, I wouldn't have the job I have.

955
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 7: They're pushing me to finish my mechatronic certification right and

956
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 7: they're the ones who are helping me. They like me

957
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 7: the fact that I work as much as they want

958
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 7: me to work. I will stay late, I will come

959
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 7: in early, I will do whatever the hell they want

960
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 7: me to do. I'm getting motivated from the fact that

961
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 7: the people that believe in me believe in me, so

962
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 7: I'm going to continue moving on in that pass. But

963
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 7: the fact is I don't have the social interactions and

964
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 7: you're helping motivate me. Whether it's from this call alone,

965
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 7: but from the streams i've watched from you before. You've

966
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 7: helped me motivate myself to go and try good.
