Speaker 1: Hello, Yeah, hello, Hello. What's your name?
Speaker 2: Rudy? Not nice to talk to you? How are you?
Speaker 1: Rudy Rulige, Rudy Giuliani? When did he fuck up your
Speaker 1: name a little bit? Because for something, when you say Rudy,
Speaker 1: I think Rudy Giuliani, and I think the fucking reindeer,
Speaker 1: Rudolph with the nose. I can't think of any other
Speaker 1: Rudy or maybe or wait, there's a fucking kid named
Speaker 1: there's not a real kid, like a cartoon child named Rudy.
Speaker 1: Do you know who I'm talking about?
Speaker 2: I don't. But the one I usually get a lot
Speaker 2: is like from the Rudy movie. Like when I was younger,
Speaker 2: I would tell people, like, Rudy's my nickname. I like,
Speaker 2: I go buy it a lot because it's different people
Speaker 2: to to pronounce than my actual name. But I would
Speaker 2: get it. I would get like the movie reference, like
Speaker 2: the Rudy Football movie. Have you ever seen that one.
Speaker 1: The Rudy Football movie. You know what is that?
Speaker 2: It's like it's like a really old school movie, but
Speaker 2: it's that that's the name of the movie is It's Rudy.
Speaker 2: It was like really popular, like in the early two thousands,
Speaker 2: I believe so that's the name, Like, that's the reference.
Speaker 2: I got a lot from like older people. They're like, oh, Rudy,
Speaker 2: like from the movie, and I'd be like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: even though I never really watched.
Speaker 1: Fucking it just came to me. Rudy is the name
Speaker 1: of the main character from Chalk Zone.
Speaker 2: Choc Zone. Believe it or not, I haven't. I've never
Speaker 2: seen that show.
Speaker 1: How old are you?
Speaker 2: Thirty?
Speaker 1: Okay, you're in choc Zone territory? Did you used to
Speaker 1: watch Nickelodeon?
Speaker 2: I did, But it'sick to a lot of like SpongeBob,
Speaker 2: SpongeBob and like Jimmy Neutron.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was this guy he would use chalk to
Speaker 1: create You know what's funny chalk Zone. You know what's
Speaker 1: funny is there's all these old like I'm about to
Speaker 1: say so things so stupid, but I'm just gonna say
Speaker 1: it and see how it sounds. But there's all these
Speaker 1: like old shows about children creating characters and then talking
Speaker 1: to them. Like this guy Rudy from Chalk Zone. He
Speaker 1: basically enters this world made of chalk, and he created
Speaker 1: he creates a little guy, a little blue guy, and
Speaker 1: he make and he talks to it. Do you think
Speaker 1: that's like how kids are making like chatbots that are
Speaker 1: like little monsters that they can talk to with AI.
Speaker 1: Is that similar?
Speaker 2: Uh? I would say, yeah, so it's something a little similar.
Speaker 2: I do vaguely remember the show, but I would say
Speaker 2: I would say so.
Speaker 1: I would say so, yeah, I mean the both signs
Speaker 1: of like schizophrenia in a way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was thinking of the same thing,
Speaker 2: like it probably contributes more to schizophrenia than it does
Speaker 2: to like the aichatpots.
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, so yeah, I think it's best
Speaker 1: to I think it's best to talk to real people,
Speaker 1: I guess, or like having an imaginary friend, you should
Speaker 1: have a real imaginary friend.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, But then you know, kids get a little
Speaker 2: little too ahead of themselves. You know, we'll draw like
Speaker 2: the little pictures, and then you know it leads to
Speaker 2: parents to get concerned, and that's how horror movies start.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: You texted me and said, I live in America. My
Speaker 1: girlfriend wants me to move to Japan to be with her,
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's a huge risk to give
Speaker 1: up everything and go. I would like some outside advice
Speaker 1: from the wise Gecko man, please sir okay okay, is
Speaker 1: your girlfriend Japanese or she just wants to move to Japan.
Speaker 2: No, she is one hundred percent Japanese. She was born there.
Speaker 2: She's half Japanese and have Spanish, and she wants me
Speaker 2: to go over there. Obviously, Like I've already mentioned my age,
Speaker 2: I'm thirty years old, she's thirty two. She's going to
Speaker 2: turn thirty three in July. And so I basically already
Speaker 2: have my life settled here in America. I got a
Speaker 2: good job, it's Union, so I make pretty decent money,
Speaker 2: pension insurance. I bought a house back in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 2: so like my payments are pretty well. But I've tried
Speaker 2: convincing her to come live in America with me, but
Speaker 2: she doesn't really want to kind of give up her lifestyle,
Speaker 2: and she kind of wants me to go over there.
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of like conflicted a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, It's funny, there's there's actually a lot of
Speaker 1: there's a lot of like key differences, but something kind
Speaker 1: of exactly similar. I won't go into too much detail
Speaker 1: detail about it, but like something kind of exactly similar
Speaker 1: actually also happened to me where I thought I almost
Speaker 1: moved to Japan for similarly reasons. Japan is awesome. Japan
Speaker 1: is like a great fucking time. Have you been? I
Speaker 1: assume you've been.
Speaker 2: I have. I went there for the first time ever
Speaker 2: last year to visit her. I was there for two weeks,
Speaker 2: and then this past January I was actually staying with
Speaker 2: her for three months, so I got a good little
Speaker 2: taste of it, which was which was nice, different way
Speaker 2: of life. Obviously, I wasn't really working while I was there.
Speaker 2: It was more like kind of studying a little bit,
Speaker 2: but very different, very different from America, but a little
Speaker 2: difficult to talk to people because I'm not fluent in
Speaker 2: the language. I could barely speak it. So yeah, very
Speaker 2: very different. But I loved it. It was it was
Speaker 2: absolutely amazing. It was beautiful.
Speaker 1: I mean it's great. Yeah. I've spent like four months there,
Speaker 1: not like concurrently, but like over the course of like
Speaker 1: a few years, and it's it's fucking sweet. The biggest
Speaker 1: problem with it, and one of the big reasons I
Speaker 1: decided to not move there, is because like, like you're
Speaker 1: totally not supposed to be there. That was my feeling
Speaker 1: is like it's a you know, it's not like a
Speaker 1: like like one the one of the cool things, like
Speaker 1: one of the cool things about America is that, like
Speaker 1: you know, we have like diversity, Like there's no like
Speaker 1: every like you walk around in like a major American city,
Speaker 1: you see every ethnicity of person. But like you know, Tokyo,
Speaker 1: it's it's a mono culture. And like if you're not
Speaker 1: like a Japanese person, you do really feel it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one thing that I like you said, you
Speaker 2: really do feel it. When I was there, Like obviously,
Speaker 2: like I said, she's half uh Spanish, so she's not
Speaker 2: like she doesn't fully look like a Japanese person. You
Speaker 2: could tell like she's next with something. But even when
Speaker 2: we would go to like restaurants and stuff, like they
Speaker 2: would try talking to us in English because they would
Speaker 2: see that I was a foreigner and obviously she's not.
Speaker 2: She doesn't look like fully Japanese and she would have
Speaker 2: to like talk to them like oh, like Japanese is
Speaker 2: okay basically, and they would like profusely like apologize like oh,
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, you know, but definitely, yeah,
Speaker 2: like here in America, it's very different, Like nobody really
Speaker 2: bats an eye at you know, a foreign person, so
Speaker 2: to speak. And then over there obviously you know you
Speaker 2: do stick out like a sort thumb.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, I mean it's also it's tough. It's
Speaker 1: a tough place to be in without speaking the language.
Speaker 1: Where are you based currently that you don't want to
Speaker 1: move out of?
Speaker 2: I'm currently based in Illinois. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Where are in Illinois?
Speaker 2: Towards like the suburbs, towards like the Naperville Plainfield and
Speaker 2: like that area out there. I actually was considering going
Speaker 2: to your show, Okay, yeah, in a couple of months.
Speaker 2: I think it's like in August, right or something like that.
Speaker 1: Uh, I've had too. I've got one in Bloomington. I
Speaker 1: have actually no fucking idea where that is, and then
Speaker 1: one in Chicago.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, I was considering. I was considering going,
Speaker 2: but I don't really have anybody to to go with.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna find somebody. Yeah, it's I'll think
Speaker 2: about it. I'll think about it.
Speaker 1: But anyway, anyway, anyway, I'm so she and she wantsn't
Speaker 1: moved to Tokyo or like some random ass Japanese town
Speaker 1: in like rural place.
Speaker 2: So she lives in Shibuya, Tokyo, Like she's probably like
Speaker 2: a fifteen minute walk away from Shibuya crossing a. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's got like a really nice studio apartment. She works
Speaker 2: really hard. She's like a she's a Japanese language teacher,
Speaker 2: so she'll teach like English speaking students like Japanese, and
Speaker 2: she'll also teach like Japanese people like English. You know,
Speaker 2: so she's got she's got a pretty good setup. She
Speaker 2: works really hard. She works every single day, you know,
Speaker 2: doing like administrative work along with her teaching jobs. So
Speaker 2: she's definitely done pretty well for herself.
Speaker 1: So how did you meet this girl?
Speaker 2: So my job allows me. It's kind of like it's
Speaker 2: kind of like seasonal ish, like I have the option
Speaker 2: to kind of take the enter off. So I never
Speaker 2: really traveled outside of America, and I was going to
Speaker 2: do a solo trip and I was kind of looking
Speaker 2: at different countries. That was a really big you know anime.
Speaker 2: Wee not like super big, but you know, I liked anime.
Speaker 2: So I figured Japan is pretty safe, It's got very
Speaker 2: convenient train systems and relatively cheap compared to America and
Speaker 2: a completely different culture. So I was planning to take
Speaker 2: the winter off between January to April and go and
Speaker 2: stay in Japan. And I tried learning the language, so
Speaker 2: I bought a couples like study books, but I wasn't
Speaker 2: really too good at like at you know, studying by myself.
Speaker 2: So I went on Google. I looked up Japanese you know, tutors,
Speaker 2: and it directed me to a prepay like a website. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And basically, like I searched through a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: different teachers and I ended up finding her, and you know,
Speaker 2: we kind of got to talking a little bit and
Speaker 2: then things just kind of went from there. And that's
Speaker 2: just kind of how we met. I she like we
Speaker 2: kind of went half and half on the plane ticket,
Speaker 2: but she ended up coming over here back in July.
Speaker 2: That was like the first time we met. And then
Speaker 2: she came over here again in like October, and then
Speaker 2: I went over there in November, and then I went
Speaker 2: over there again in January, okay, and I'm planning to
Speaker 2: go over there again in September.
Speaker 1: Okay. So it's been a so you guys are in
Speaker 1: a committed relationship, yeah, yeah, okay, And so it's been
Speaker 1: a back and forth thing over the course of how long.
Speaker 2: It's been about it's been about soll June right now,
Speaker 2: it's been about a little over a years since we
Speaker 2: first met, a little like about eleven months since we
Speaker 2: started dating. We have had like our issue choose every
Speaker 2: every here and there because obviously like cultural differences and
Speaker 2: a little bit of a language barrier. But for the
Speaker 2: most part, like you know, we try our best to
Speaker 2: work things out.
Speaker 1: What have what have been the issues that you guys
Speaker 1: have had to work out?
Speaker 2: Uh and uh okay. So basically, like she she's a
Speaker 2: freelance worker, so she likes to like and obviously their
Speaker 2: culture is a little bit different. So when it comes
Speaker 2: to going out and like meeting different people, like staying
Speaker 2: out late and drinking and all those other things, like
Speaker 2: she does it pretty consistently. She's very She connects a
Speaker 2: lot with like a lot of CEOs that are you know,
Speaker 2: business owners and things like that, and she teaches them English,
Speaker 2: and obviously like in return, they'll like like they'll go
Speaker 2: out to like nice places to eat or you know,
Speaker 2: they'll go golfing things like that. Sometimes she'll also travel
Speaker 2: to like other countries and she kind of works as
Speaker 2: like a translator of sorts, you know. But in order
Speaker 2: to kind of maintain these relationships, Like you know, she'll
Speaker 2: occasionally have to go like for with drinks for them,
Speaker 2: or like for dinners and things like that. So I'm
Speaker 2: a little.
Speaker 1: Sense am I sensing? Am I sensing? Like, Oh, you're
Speaker 1: a little fraid she'll cheat.
Speaker 2: On you a little bit. And it's just very uncomfortable,
Speaker 2: you know, because obviously they have like a hierarchy over there.
Speaker 2: So like when she goes out, like she has to
Speaker 2: pay attention to these people, right, she has to like
Speaker 2: connect with them and you know, full undivided attention type things. Okay,
Speaker 2: so she doesn't really have time to like be on
Speaker 2: her phone because it would be seen as rude and
Speaker 2: you're not, you know, not fully attentive. And then like
Speaker 2: also once she'll go out to drink and there's like
Speaker 2: a big group of them, they can't start leaving until
Speaker 2: like the guy with like the highest hierarchy decides it's
Speaker 2: like time to go. Yeah, you know. Yeah, So it's
Speaker 2: it's a little bit in part of the cheating thing,
Speaker 2: but I've kind of like moved past it. I go
Speaker 2: to an actual therapist and we try to like talk
Speaker 2: things through, and like he kind of gives me some tips,
Speaker 2: and you know, I've gotten definitely a lot better, but
Speaker 2: it still makes me a little bit uncomfortable. So yeah,
Speaker 2: those are kind of the issues that that we kind
Speaker 2: of run into.
Speaker 1: Mmmm okay, okay, interesting has she has? What kind of
Speaker 1: issues has she had with you?
Speaker 2: Basically the that I would I would ask her like, hey, like,
Speaker 2: if you're going out, like I would just kind of
Speaker 2: like to know an idea of like it's when you're
Speaker 2: coming home, Because there was a few times, like when
Speaker 2: I was over there for three months, she would tell
Speaker 2: me like, oh, yeah, I'd probably be home like around
Speaker 2: one or two o'clock. So I'd stay up waiting for her,
Speaker 2: and then it'd be like three o'clock and she still
Speaker 2: wouldn't be home, and I'm just kind of like like, hey, like,
Speaker 2: if we're going to be living together, like, it's kind
Speaker 2: of something that i'd like to know.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 2: So, she's very independent and and when I ask her
Speaker 2: like just for like details and stuff like that, she
Speaker 2: kind of takes it as controlling. I try not to be,
Speaker 2: you know, but that's kind of how she she's takes
Speaker 2: it a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it sounds like you already worked through
Speaker 1: these issues and stuff, and it's just like a retrospective thing.
Speaker 1: But you know, my feelings about that stuff is like
Speaker 1: I don't know my feelings about that stuff, and maybe
Speaker 1: this is this is how I feel about it. Is
Speaker 1: like when you're in a relationship or something like that,
Speaker 1: I feel like you just kind of like know in
Speaker 1: your gut if the person you're dating really likes you
Speaker 1: or not, you know what I mean. And I kind
Speaker 1: of feel like if you know in your gut that
Speaker 1: the person you're dating really loves you, like you can
Speaker 1: say that for sure, then you're then then you're fine.
Speaker 1: Then you know, let him fucking do whatever, you know,
Speaker 1: not letting not like not I don't mean let him
Speaker 1: fucking do whatever. But I mean, like if you know,
Speaker 1: if you know that they love you, you know that
Speaker 1: they love you, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like I don't doubt that she loves me,
Speaker 2: and I don't doubt my love towards her. It's just
Speaker 2: it comes down to to me just kind of like
Speaker 2: learning and accepting this different lifestyle because I'm not used
Speaker 2: to things like that. Like I work a normal blue
Speaker 2: collar job, you know, where I clock in, clock out,
Speaker 2: go home. That's it. Yeah, A little boring to some people,
Speaker 2: but she she loves to go out. She loves to
Speaker 2: socialize with people, she loves to meet new people, and
Speaker 2: she recently, I'll go out, I'll meet different people, but
Speaker 2: I'm more of like introverted. She likes the more philosophical
Speaker 2: aspect to people, like, oh, what made you you know,
Speaker 2: what made you interested in your job? Like you know,
Speaker 2: what do you do for a living? Like what was
Speaker 2: it like growing up? And you know, things like that.
Speaker 2: And for me, it's just kind of like, you know,
Speaker 2: I'll meet people here and there, but it is what
Speaker 2: it is. You know. I don't go out necessarily seeking it,
Speaker 2: but if it happens, it happens. You know.
Speaker 1: It's funny. I've been like thinking about this to myself
Speaker 1: a lot lately, is like I think I think I'm
Speaker 1: just talking about like I used to think I wanted
Speaker 1: to date someone who was like similar to me, and
Speaker 1: that because your girl, the way your way your girlfriend is,
Speaker 1: you know, it feels like it's like kind of similar
Speaker 1: to me. And I'm like I used to think I
Speaker 1: want I want to date someone who's like like that,
Speaker 1: but now I'm kind of thing like, oh, I think that,
Speaker 1: and I'm curious what your perspective is on the other
Speaker 1: end of this, because now I'm kind of like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think I weirdly might enjoy being with someone who
Speaker 1: is less like that just because I get so like then,
Speaker 1: because then there just becomes like two of me, you know,
Speaker 1: just in terms of like dating somebody who's like has
Speaker 1: the same ish personality as you, do you feel like
Speaker 1: do you feel like that's a good thing, like like
Speaker 1: for you, Like do you feel like you like having
Speaker 1: somebody who has like a kind of like complimentary personality
Speaker 1: to yours, or or do you do you prefer people
Speaker 1: who are more similar to you, like like not like
Speaker 1: people were also introverted.
Speaker 2: I would say that I really liked somebody that compliments you,
Speaker 2: because like, if it wasn't for her, like when I
Speaker 2: was over there for three months, we had gone to
Speaker 2: Indonesia together, and like, if it wasn't for her, I
Speaker 2: would have never gone probably not yet obviously, I was
Speaker 2: still trying to travel by myself and Japan was like
Speaker 2: my first destination, but like she kind of pushed forward
Speaker 2: and we did that together, and then I kind of actually,
Speaker 2: when I was listening to your show a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago, you had to call her call in that
Speaker 2: she had gone to a sensory deprivation thing, and when
Speaker 2: she had came here to America, I had taken her
Speaker 2: to one of those, so like a more of a peaceful,
Speaker 2: calm meditation thing. So I think that like finding somebody
Speaker 2: that compliments you, it's something I really like. So it's
Speaker 2: just taking a little bit of time kind of to
Speaker 2: adjust to it. And obviously I'm stepping out of my
Speaker 2: comfort zone. So it's very very difficult, and I mean,
Speaker 2: oh sorry, go ahead, Okay. When I was over there,
Speaker 2: she had introduced me to one of her students. He
Speaker 2: was a young, really successful business owner, and he had
Speaker 2: taken me to a really nice steakhouse. He had taken
Speaker 2: me to like a hostess bar where he had met
Speaker 2: his girlfriend, and he essentially paid for everything, and like,
Speaker 2: even though we couldn't really speak, we were kind of
Speaker 2: like it was like a lot of gestures and stuff
Speaker 2: like when we were going out to different bars, when
Speaker 2: we were going out to dinner and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: because it was me, him and his girlfriend. Like it
Speaker 2: was really nice, you know, meeting different people and experiencing
Speaker 2: like a different thing than what I'm used to so
Speaker 2: I could definitely like get used to that that kind
Speaker 2: of life. But like I said before, I don't necessarily
Speaker 2: really seek it out either. Like, if that happens, it happens.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about this. You what you okay, you
Speaker 1: live in the suburbs of Illinois. Yes, And what's going
Speaker 1: on in the suburbs of Illinois that you do not
Speaker 1: want to leave?
Speaker 2: Man, It's just I'm very I'm very well set, so
Speaker 2: to speak. I mean, like I said, I bought a
Speaker 2: house back in twenty seventeen. So my mortgage is I
Speaker 2: only owe like one hundred and fifteen thousand, and I've
Speaker 2: already paid off like ten years worth of it. So
Speaker 2: that means like my mortgage payment, I have like a
Speaker 2: four percent interest rate and I only pay about twelve
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month. You know, like that's essentially unheard
Speaker 2: of for a four bedroom, two and a half bathroom.
Speaker 2: It's a townhouse, you know, with a too.
Speaker 1: Why do you know? Well, okay, well pause for a second.
Speaker 1: Wait several several questions, several questions, Yeah, go ahead, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're not married and you don't have kids. Why do
Speaker 1: you need a four bedroom house?
Speaker 2: Well, back when I was twenty years old. My mom
Speaker 2: had essentially got in a settlement because she ended up
Speaker 2: getting herd at work. And at the time we were,
Speaker 2: we weren't in the best situation where she was. We
Speaker 2: were living in like it was me, her and my brother.
Speaker 2: We were living in a two bedroom apartments. And when
Speaker 2: she got the settlement money, I had a pretty decent job,
Speaker 2: I had a good credit score, So she ended up
Speaker 2: like gifting me the money and we bought a townhouse. Now,
Speaker 2: if she were to come over here, obviously I saw
Speaker 2: the townhouse. We'd have extra money and then we can
Speaker 2: get a place of our own, and then my mom,
Speaker 2: you know, my brother can kind of go live with
Speaker 2: my sisters or something. But like, right now, I got
Speaker 2: a pretty decent house. Like I got a really good
Speaker 2: paying job, really good insurance, and it's I would love
Speaker 2: to leave, but like I would like to stay here
Speaker 2: for like a couple more years, but she's not really
Speaker 2: willing to come to America for for a long time.
Speaker 1: Your girlfriend sounds like the kind of you know, it's funny, Yeah,
Speaker 1: your girlfriend sounds like the kind of person who would
Speaker 1: kill herself if she had to live in the suburbs
Speaker 1: of Illinois and then you sound like the kind of
Speaker 1: person that does not just up and move to Japan
Speaker 1: on a whim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's kind of where we're Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 2: kind of the easty man.
Speaker 1: I mean, what's this?
Speaker 2: What's this?
Speaker 1: What's this job?
Speaker 2: I don't want to get too too personal.
Speaker 1: But I don't have to get the person. But what's
Speaker 1: I mean, what like, what is it just like some
Speaker 1: office thing?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's I guess I can kind of
Speaker 2: mention it without giving up the whole name. It's a
Speaker 2: it's a garbage company. It's and like I said, it's
Speaker 2: not too far from my house, so it's very convenient.
Speaker 2: And like I said, it pays pretty well. I work.
Speaker 2: I do work a lot of overtime. But like I said,
Speaker 2: one of the benefits of it is that I'm able
Speaker 2: to travel. I'm able to take the winter off and
Speaker 2: I can travel for three months every winter, you know.
Speaker 2: So that's how I had stayed over there.
Speaker 1: Okay, And as an in person gig.
Speaker 2: It is in person I drive a like class B
Speaker 2: CDL truck.
Speaker 1: Also, what's the plan if you moved to Japan?
Speaker 2: Right? Like?
Speaker 1: What can you even get a job? Like you know,
Speaker 1: like a visa, like have you looked into like, because
Speaker 1: there's a ton of shit you have to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So there's a few pathways that her and I
Speaker 2: have kind of considered. A first off, the first of
Speaker 2: all was marriage, but because of the issues that we had,
Speaker 2: we kind of decided to postpone for a little bit.
Speaker 2: So the second pathway was essentially me applying for a
Speaker 2: language school. It's gonna cost around like ten thousand dollars
Speaker 2: for the year, and but once that language school is done,
Speaker 2: we would either have to decide whether to get married
Speaker 2: or I would have to come back to America. I
Speaker 2: am currently like trying to study to get a software
Speaker 2: engineering degree, so I could potentially find a like remote
Speaker 2: job and then obviously go to the language school, so
Speaker 2: I can kind of work as a software engineer, as
Speaker 2: you know, for a Japanese based company, or.
Speaker 1: I mean for a Japanese based either you say for
Speaker 1: a US company, because that would be like a I
Speaker 1: mean that's like the cheat code for doing shit.
Speaker 2: Well well yeah, but like like yeah, get paid in
Speaker 2: an American currency, but like having the skill to be
Speaker 2: able to use like the Japanese language and like English
Speaker 2: language as well. So Okay, that's kind of like the
Speaker 2: secondary planned.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but I'm no, I'm glad we talked about it.
Speaker 1: But this doesn't sound like a logistical thing. This is
Speaker 1: like this is more of an emotional thing. This is
Speaker 1: more of like a guttural thing. Do you want to
Speaker 1: have kids with this woman? Do you want to like
Speaker 1: build a whole life together? Is that the plan?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 2: See, I would love to. I would love to. I
Speaker 2: I love her. I definitely want to marry her. But
Speaker 2: the lifestyle thing, I don't know if she's willing to
Speaker 2: like slow her life down right now and kind of
Speaker 2: settle in, you know, so I kind of have to
Speaker 2: wait for her in a sense.
Speaker 1: Oh but that but I mean, yeah, but you're fucking thirty.
Speaker 1: You know, she's what thirty.
Speaker 2: Three Actu's gonna be thirty three this year. Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: taking you know what I mean, Like it's we're not
Speaker 2: getting any younger. But at the same time, like I
Speaker 2: don't want to rush into into kids either, Like.
Speaker 1: Dude, that's the tough thing. And this is and dude, dude,
Speaker 1: I've had I've had this problem. Like this is the
Speaker 1: hard thing about this, Like overseas stuff is it's like
Speaker 1: the toughest thing about it is that everything about it
Speaker 1: just feels like it's a It feels like it's a
Speaker 1: very all I have no if by the way, because
Speaker 1: this is like a thing I've like dealt with, Like
Speaker 1: I don't actually have an answer for you. I can
Speaker 1: I can merely ponder it. I can merely ponder it
Speaker 1: for you with you. The toughest thing about this is
Speaker 1: like the it's scary because it's like a it's such
Speaker 1: an all or nothing thing. Like in order for it
Speaker 1: to like these things, they they they require these really
Speaker 1: scary like leaps of faith. Right Like if you were
Speaker 1: just like dating a lady in Illinois, like who lived
Speaker 1: in this fucking city and you lived in the suburbs
Speaker 1: and your distance was an hour away, it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: we can like slowly build our relationship and figure out
Speaker 1: these problems and stuff. But when you got you know,
Speaker 1: a lady in Japan, it's like, if we're doing this,
Speaker 1: we're fucking doing this, you know, Like uh like, if
Speaker 1: we're getting married, we're getting married. If we're you know,
Speaker 1: if I'm moving a move like it like in order,
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to have like a relationship like this
Speaker 1: where it requires big leaps of faith and big moves
Speaker 1: to do it. But I will I will say that,
Speaker 1: and and I and I I empathize with you on that.
Speaker 1: It's really like kind of tough and scary. I will
Speaker 1: say this though, if you believe in your gut a
Speaker 1: that you actually no, if you believe in your gut
Speaker 1: A that you love this woman, I mean, that's easy.
Speaker 1: You know, love, love is love is love is kind
Speaker 1: of the easiest equation of a relationship. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: because love is love love love love doesn't really take anything.
Speaker 1: You can love like you can love someone you don't
Speaker 1: have to be in the same room with them. Like
Speaker 1: love is easy. You know. Commitment is difficult, Uh, logistics
Speaker 1: are difficult. Maintaining relationship is difficult. But the question is, Okay,
Speaker 1: do you love her? You know? A, I mean that's
Speaker 1: the easy one. And then b do you feel in
Speaker 1: your gut that like she's your partner, Like she's the
Speaker 1: one you want to do this with? You know, if
Speaker 1: you feel in your gut you're like, she's fucking like
Speaker 1: when you look, like when you think about her, are
Speaker 1: you like she's fucking awesome? She's so great. I would.
Speaker 1: I want her to be the mother of my children.
Speaker 1: I think she's an amazing person. I think she's so cool.
Speaker 1: I think she's like I respect her so much, I
Speaker 1: admire her so much. I'm you know, like all that shit,
Speaker 1: that's the shit you really want to be making sure
Speaker 1: you're in tune with, Like we're aligned on that stuff.
Speaker 1: Because for every relationship, you have to decide what you're
Speaker 1: willing to put up with or make work. And so
Speaker 1: you should ask yourself, like what your gut is saying
Speaker 1: to you and what you can give full body yes?
Speaker 1: Like like go like, ask yourself several questions and figure
Speaker 1: out which of these questions am I giving a full
Speaker 1: body yes? Two? And then which of these questions am
Speaker 1: I hesitant about? Like you like you asked you literally
Speaker 1: stuff like the easy one. Do I love her full body?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I love her? That's easy. Do I give a full
Speaker 1: body yes to she'd be a great mom? Do I
Speaker 1: have a full body yes? Too? We have similar values.
Speaker 1: Do I give a full body yes to? I deeply
Speaker 1: admire her? You know, do I give a full body
Speaker 1: yes to? All of these other things? And then if
Speaker 1: you can give a full body yes to like most
Speaker 1: of that stuff. Then everything else you gotta go, Like
Speaker 1: you know, I mean this, I mean this house. Who
Speaker 1: gives to be Frank, Who gives a fuck about this house?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like it's a fucking house,
Speaker 1: like you like you can rent it out, you can
Speaker 1: sell it, like who gives a fuck? Right, Like, that's
Speaker 1: not the This house is kind of a stupid thing
Speaker 1: to me because it's it's nothing. It's like a it's
Speaker 1: a minor money thing that has like very logistical, easy
Speaker 1: to solve solution if you had deep RELI even the job,
Speaker 1: I mean job is a little different, but like fucking
Speaker 1: even the job is like whatever, you can figure out
Speaker 1: how to find some fucking job. Like do you have
Speaker 1: deep relationships? Deep connections? Deep? Like do you fucking are
Speaker 1: you absolutely, full body, deeply in love with Naperville, Illinois?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: And you might be. You might maybe your parents are there,
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't. I don't know, you haven't really I don't.
Speaker 1: But but also the fact that I the fact that,
Speaker 1: like when when I asked you what's going on in
Speaker 1: the suburbs of Illinois, you didn't bring up, Oh, my
Speaker 1: parents are there, and I want to be close with them. Oh,
Speaker 1: I have such a great friend group in Illinois. I
Speaker 1: want to be you brought up this like house, It's like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is this house? Who gives a fuck
Speaker 1: about that? You know a lot of that's just kind
Speaker 1: of like fear shit. But the question, the questions I
Speaker 1: would really be asking if I was you, is like,
Speaker 1: what are you? What are you in like full alignment
Speaker 1: with in terms of like your relationship with this lady.
Speaker 2: You know, well like a full body yes too, Like
Speaker 2: a lot of things about her, I can I can
Speaker 2: list many things. One of the things I do have
Speaker 2: an issue with like she takes a lot of naps.
Speaker 1: No you can No, that's you can work through that, dude.
Speaker 1: She takes a go yeah, yeah, yeah, she takes a
Speaker 1: lot of naps.
Speaker 2: So like sometimes it was really nice when I was
Speaker 2: over there and I'd be like, hey, like let's go,
Speaker 2: let's go for a walk or something like let's go
Speaker 2: walk the dog, and she'd like, oh, I want to
Speaker 2: take a nap, and she naps for like a couple
Speaker 2: like three four hours. I was just kind of like,
Speaker 2: that's kind of our day, which which sucks, but like
Speaker 2: you said, it's it's whatever. Man.
Speaker 1: Oh my God, dude, No, that's a thing. That that's
Speaker 1: a that's easy. That's so we'd let her, let her
Speaker 1: take a nap and then go for a walk.
Speaker 2: Right right.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I caught myself a lot of the times where
Speaker 2: she was like, oh, like I'm gonna take a nap,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna go to the gym,
Speaker 2: you know, something like that, or like i'd take your
Speaker 2: dog for a walk or something like that, or I'd
Speaker 2: go for a coffee shop if she wanted to sleep
Speaker 2: in or you know. So it's like I never really
Speaker 2: found like a big issue with that, you know. But
Speaker 2: when I was like, like, you know, a few times
Speaker 2: I'd be like, hey, like let's go do this, and
Speaker 2: she'd be like no, Like I wanted to get to
Speaker 2: have some like I said, very minor thing. But besides that,
Speaker 2: like she's she's very kind, she's very intelligent, she's very
Speaker 2: hard working. She's got such an amazing personality. And like
Speaker 2: when I had gotten sick when I was over there,
Speaker 2: I had like really bad like stomach virus like the
Speaker 2: whole time, and she was worried about me. She was
Speaker 2: like trying to help me out, like offering me to
Speaker 2: get medicine intern Yeah, I in turn I did the
Speaker 2: same thing. Yeah, so like I'm willing to give everything
Speaker 2: up for her. It's just like like you said, it's
Speaker 2: a scary leap of faith because thing.
Speaker 1: But again, the like naps, you know what, I like,
Speaker 1: I'm talking I'm talking about like real I'm talking about
Speaker 1: like like I'm talking about real I'm talking about real shit,
Speaker 1: like like like are you real real ship? Real shit is?
Speaker 1: Like do you both have the same like real ship is? Like?
Speaker 1: Are you both physically attracted to each other? If that
Speaker 1: matters to you? If you are you both physically attracted
Speaker 1: to each other? Do you like hanging out with each other?
Speaker 1: Do you have similar ish ways of looking at the
Speaker 1: world and problems? Do you have similar ish ways that
Speaker 1: you want to like live a life? Do have similar
Speaker 1: ish timelines for marriage and family?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: I mean everything else is bullshit like naps. I mean
Speaker 1: you know whatever, if like like, if the big things
Speaker 1: align and the things that aren't taking you out of
Speaker 1: uh uh Naperville, Illinois are like real, which then you
Speaker 1: know So I'm I'm not I'm not. I'm not here
Speaker 1: to tell you what to make your decision about. But
Speaker 1: like if if I were in your shoes and I
Speaker 1: have been in your shoes like that, those are the
Speaker 1: things I'd be thinking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what is it that you mentioned? So a
Speaker 2: lot of the times, like I guess one of the
Speaker 2: things that I did kind of an issue with. Like,
Speaker 2: so I like to talk through our problems, right, so
Speaker 2: if there's something that bothers me, I typically try to
Speaker 2: bring it up, right, and we discussed it and we
Speaker 2: talk about it. Yeah, but the way she these things,
Speaker 2: it would be more of like, well, if it's not
Speaker 2: a big deal, then just kind of let it go,
Speaker 2: you know. So that that's something that we've we struggled
Speaker 2: with a little bit because like I would try to
Speaker 2: bring something up and she would take it as an
Speaker 2: argument and I'd be like like, I'm just trying to
Speaker 2: explain what bothered me here, and she was like, well,
Speaker 2: there's somethings that like you did that bothered me. And
Speaker 2: she's like, but I didn't bring them up because well.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know it's it's not important dude. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: this lady is a genius because you got to pick
Speaker 1: your But I also I really feel like in a relationship,
Speaker 1: you have to pick your battles. I believe that deeply,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's that's why I side
Speaker 1: with her on that. I believe in a relationship you
Speaker 1: must pick your battles, like every like, because there's little
Speaker 1: things that, like everyone's gonna have, like the naps thing, right,
Speaker 1: Like everyone's gonna have little things that pissed each each
Speaker 1: other off by each other.
Speaker 2: But like.
Speaker 1: You should should I think in a relationship, you should
Speaker 1: strategically pick your battles as to what is a big
Speaker 1: deal for you, do you know what I mean. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm on her side with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I've definitely gotten a lot better at it. Like,
Speaker 2: if there's something small that would bother me, like I
Speaker 2: just kind of like water up a ducks back, I
Speaker 2: just kind of like let it go. If it's something
Speaker 2: a little bit bigger, you know, I'll try to bring
Speaker 2: it up. But besides that, like we've kind of moved
Speaker 2: past it. There is a little bit of a language
Speaker 2: barrier obviously when it came to us communicating like those
Speaker 2: issues before. But I've kind of learned to simplify my
Speaker 2: wording a little bit, and you know, it kind of
Speaker 2: makes things a little bit easier because obviously she knows
Speaker 2: more English than I know Japanese, so we mainly speak
Speaker 2: in English, so I kind of have to tone it
Speaker 2: down a little bit. So when it comes to those things,
Speaker 2: I have gotten definitely gotten a lot better. And but
Speaker 2: like like I said, the only other thing is just
Speaker 2: like her her lifestyle that she that she lives, which
Speaker 2: you know, it's like I said, it's it's a little
Speaker 2: difficult for me, but I'm like, I'm trying my best
Speaker 2: to kind of be okay with it.
Speaker 1: You know, It's an interesting thing when you're dating someone
Speaker 1: who English is not their native language, is you have
Speaker 1: this thing of like little nuance, Like you're more likely,
Speaker 1: I feel like, to be taken at complete face value
Speaker 1: in everything that you say. Like little nuances are not
Speaker 1: they don't come across as much, and that depending on
Speaker 1: who you are and like kind of the situation, there
Speaker 1: are pros to that and cons to that. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, like for example, if you like,
Speaker 1: like if you're tired and you say I'm tired, it's
Speaker 1: pretty like you know, if it's not like, oh, if
Speaker 1: you say I'm tired in like a slightly bitchy way,
Speaker 1: that that that like that you'll that she'll interpret it
Speaker 1: as like you're trying to like you mean something, and
Speaker 1: like it's more likely you'll be taking a face value
Speaker 1: and like there's something kind of nice about that. But
Speaker 1: then the flip side of it is like when you
Speaker 1: do want to communicate in in these like nuanced ways,
Speaker 1: it is a a little trickier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that. That is something that it took a
Speaker 2: little bit of adjusting because sometimes she would like say
Speaker 2: things and the way she would say them would come
Speaker 2: kind of come off a little harsh, and she was like, oh,
Speaker 2: like I didn't I didn't mean it like that, but
Speaker 2: like for me, for us, like the way that she
Speaker 2: would say it was like very direct, you know, and
Speaker 2: I was just kind of like taken aback by it.
Speaker 2: I was, yeah, of course, it's just a little here
Speaker 2: and there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. But you get you kind of get
Speaker 1: used to that because you you have to. You have
Speaker 1: to understand that, like, uh, they're not so they're not
Speaker 1: trying to do that. That's just like their understanding of
Speaker 1: that that they just it's just a little nuances are
Speaker 1: are I I there was this girl I was dating
Speaker 1: a while ago, and she would like we would text
Speaker 1: and she would respond to some of my texts and
Speaker 1: just say like and okay, you know, and do you
Speaker 1: know what like like if you're like with that, like
Speaker 1: another American person, like if they just say like sure,
Speaker 1: it kind of sounds like they're being passive aggressive in
Speaker 1: a text, right, And like we met, like I tried
Speaker 1: to explain this to her, and she felt like bad.
Speaker 1: She was like, oh, I didn't realize that was like
Speaker 1: the vibe that I was communic, Like I feel like
Speaker 1: I like rocked her world with like just the not
Speaker 1: She was like, oh fuck, how many people have I
Speaker 1: been like accidentally being passive aggressive too? Just because I
Speaker 1: didn't know the little the little nuance of like suore
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and see, like one thing that I do to
Speaker 2: kind of like help, like we just add like a
Speaker 2: bunch of little we we use Line, which is like
Speaker 2: their main messaging app. We use like a lot of
Speaker 2: the little emojis or whatever they use over there to
Speaker 2: kind of like soften those nuances so they know, like
Speaker 2: if so she knows I'm not being like too aggressive
Speaker 2: and vice versa, you know. So, but yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: besides that, like the relationship is it's going, you know,
Speaker 2: it's cool.
Speaker 1: Man, And it's cool. It's cool. I mean it's hard.
Speaker 1: It's hard because yeah, it takes these kinds of things.
Speaker 1: They they're like they really require like full send leaps
Speaker 1: of faith to make work. And that's it's hard and scary.
Speaker 1: Tell you know, I get I get you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like what are some ways that I would I
Speaker 2: could use to like cope with the late night outings
Speaker 2: so to speak, because like in a couple of months,
Speaker 2: like es actually like she's going, yeah, like she's going
Speaker 2: to Costa Rica. It's gonna be her and like one
Speaker 2: other dude, which is like to me, that's uncomfortable, but
Speaker 2: and like I want to trust it, I really do,
Speaker 2: and I try my best to have one hundred percent face.
Speaker 2: It's just this dude.
Speaker 1: You you you know, like you a girl doesn't even
Speaker 1: have to be a girl friend for that, Like you
Speaker 1: know when a girl likes you, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like you know you know? Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like you've lived life, You've been in crushes, relate, like
Speaker 1: forget about a relationship, forget about wife, like you just
Speaker 1: you know when a girl likes you and when she
Speaker 1: doesn't like you? And if you know that a girl
Speaker 1: likes you, That's kind of all I think you need
Speaker 1: to know. And if you know that, that's that's I
Speaker 1: just feel like that's all you need to know. I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe I have different views about this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, but like because I'm not I'm not a
Speaker 1: preticularly jealous person, I don't think but like.
Speaker 2: It.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't like it like you. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's all I have to say, man, is like, don't
Speaker 1: because you don't want your Because if you love someone
Speaker 1: and you know that they love you, and you know
Speaker 1: that they like you, just like kind of I feel
Speaker 1: like you should just let that be the thing. And
Speaker 1: then any other like, oh, is she cheating on me
Speaker 1: with this like guy that like her work sent her
Speaker 1: to be with, like by pure nature of the fact
Speaker 1: that like it's just her and like a guy, Like
Speaker 1: it's not even like like we don't even know anything
Speaker 1: about this guy, Like it's just some dude from her work.
Speaker 1: Like I think the fact that your auntsy about just
Speaker 1: the fact that she is going out to Puerto Rico
Speaker 1: with another guy just because he's a literally just because
Speaker 1: he's of the opposite sex, is like, you know, it's
Speaker 1: a lot it puts a lot of pressure on her,
Speaker 1: and you know, and you wouldn't want and if you
Speaker 1: were in that position, you wouldn't want her to be
Speaker 1: feeling like she's you know, not control. Yeah, kind of control.
Speaker 1: Can I like kind of controlled in some way, shape
Speaker 1: or form.
Speaker 2: Right, But you know it. You know a lot of
Speaker 2: people have given me advice on my perspective, so it's
Speaker 2: really it's really helpful that you kind of put it
Speaker 2: in perspective of her that she said, you're kind of
Speaker 2: doing this.
Speaker 1: Did you have a lot of Did you have like
Speaker 1: a ton of your guy friends being like she's fucking
Speaker 1: cheating on you?
Speaker 2: No? No, No, it's it was just like for me
Speaker 2: and my therapist, like we were just trying to understand
Speaker 2: exactly like because like I said, she's a freelance worker,
Speaker 2: so a lot of these people that she'll meet, like
Speaker 2: she has to go out and meet on her own.
Speaker 2: So we're just trying to understand like the their cultural
Speaker 2: aspects of it. And then like a lot of it,
Speaker 2: it just comes down to like what I'm used to
Speaker 2: and what I'm not used to. Like I like in
Speaker 2: my relationships in the past, like I would not go
Speaker 2: out with another woman for work or for fun, you know,
Speaker 2: just to go drink and have karaoke with out of
Speaker 2: respect for my partner, you know, So for her to
Speaker 2: do something like this, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Yeah that makes yeah, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah you would not, Yes, that makes
Speaker 1: I give what you said. Like, yes, in America, like
Speaker 1: if if you had like a female I totally give
Speaker 1: you a minute. If you had a female coworker just
Speaker 1: be like or a female boss, just be like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's just you and me get uh drinks after work
Speaker 1: and do karaoke together, and you went, your wife would
Speaker 1: totally be like what the fuck? And yes, it's different,
Speaker 1: but it's a weird. Yeah, it's a weird. There's like
Speaker 1: a culturally thing there where it's like doing that as
Speaker 1: like part of working.
Speaker 2: Right. So that's the struggle that I've been trying to overcome,
Speaker 2: is just the cultural aspect of different relationships where she
Speaker 2: sees it as just these are just my friends and
Speaker 2: this is like business, where I see it as like,
Speaker 2: you know, in America, you don't necessarily do that if
Speaker 2: you come home late from drinking with like a person
Speaker 2: of the opposite sex and you're home at like three
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning. That's you know, grounds for questioning
Speaker 2: like what the fuck, like why are you coming home
Speaker 2: so late? You know. So that's that's the issue that
Speaker 2: I've been trying to kind of like work through and
Speaker 2: overcome obviously because I don't I'm not. I try my best,
Speaker 2: like could not be controlling because she's her own person,
Speaker 2: she lives her own life. It's just like trying to
Speaker 2: overcome myself in these thoughts that I have when she's
Speaker 2: out either on trips or you know, on late nights.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, we'll wrap this up in a second, but
Speaker 1: I'll just say from where I sit, it's kind of
Speaker 1: as simple as like, if you if you feel really
Speaker 1: gutturally aligned, and if you feel like if you've feel
Speaker 1: gutturally aligned with this lady in all of the aspects
Speaker 1: that are like actually important, not like the fucking naps
Speaker 1: or the house or whatever. If you feel like gutta
Speaker 1: really aligned with all the important aspects, you can kind
Speaker 1: of work through everything else. That's that's kind of how
Speaker 1: I feel. What's your name again, man, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy Juliani, Yes, Rudy.

Speaker 3: This is like when we sort of first got together.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was with my current fiance time, and
Speaker 3: on my dick, I started like a get like a
Speaker 3: little growth, almost like a pinple. She was crazy, And
Speaker 3: it started off small, super tiny, like little pin dot,
Speaker 3: and just like over like a month or two, it
Speaker 3: got bigger and bigger, to the point where it was
Speaker 3: a size a little bit bigger than your standard BB
Speaker 3: gun like tell it. So it got to a point
Speaker 3: where I had to, like, I didn't want to go
Speaker 3: to the doctor and get that shit checked out. Every
Speaker 3: time I fucked, I could feel that thing on my
Speaker 3: penis and it was like fucking damn near middle shaft
Speaker 3: right on top. That's it didn't hurt or anything, but
Speaker 3: it was cool. But to get it out was a problem.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not sure if you ever heard of
Speaker 3: like the doctor pimple popper. Yeah, sure, you ever seen
Speaker 3: any of her videos?
Speaker 2: By chance?
Speaker 1: I haven't, but I assume she doesn't do dicks.
Speaker 3: No, I haven't seen any dicks on there, but fucking
Speaker 3: that's where I had mine.
Speaker 1: Oh fuck, So you had to cut open, You had
Speaker 1: to cut open. So you had a giant pimple on
Speaker 1: your dick and you had to cut open the pimple
Speaker 1: or did you have to like fucking like do it?
Speaker 1: Was it an inside job? You have to go inside
Speaker 1: of your penis to get the pimple?
Speaker 3: It wasn't, no, no, no, So it was on the surface
Speaker 3: of my skin, so it was over. I didn't have
Speaker 3: to go like under, like fucking under the neat or anything.
Speaker 3: So basically, so my girl had to make the first incision.
Speaker 3: She had to make the first cut because I was
Speaker 3: too much of a pussy.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, your girl, your girlfriend just made an incision
Speaker 1: on your penis.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I got a little like little knife, like
Speaker 3: a little exacto knife because.
Speaker 1: You're doing amateur surgery.
Speaker 2: Yeah for real?
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, that's what it was. So I'm over here
Speaker 3: button naked on the shower, like sitting on the shower
Speaker 3: tip with my dick in my hand, and well first,
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, well, get me hard that way,
Speaker 3: it's easier to like manipula. She's just gonna be moving
Speaker 3: around your girlfriend.
Speaker 1: You have to pay. You have you're sitting, I love,
Speaker 1: standing standing in the shower and you're you have your
Speaker 1: girlfriend has a fucking exacto knife and she's gonna cut
Speaker 1: off the pin on your pennis and you're like, and
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, can you can you get me hard
Speaker 1: first so.
Speaker 3: You can cut Okay, So two minutes before I get like,
Speaker 3: I'm sitting on the shower tub with the knife in
Speaker 3: my hand, you know, and she comes in and she's
Speaker 3: like you start doing it yet, Like, no, I'm too
Speaker 3: much of a pussy. So I was like, get me
Speaker 3: hard first, and then you know, let's do this first
Speaker 3: decision because it's gonna be moving around and ship. So
Speaker 3: I got hard. But as soon as she put blade
Speaker 3: to dick, plofed.
Speaker 1: Immediately, and you know, as one does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't think.
Speaker 3: I thought I would be able to handle it, but
Speaker 3: I guess I'm not inture like knife place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, there's probably a lot of
Speaker 1: guys who that would make them harder.
Speaker 3: But you're right right, not me, not me as soon
Speaker 3: as that happened, but she got the first cut in, dude,
Speaker 3: and I was like, all right, well, I'm in way
Speaker 3: too deep. I could see this thing kind of so
Speaker 3: I might as well keep going. And then as soon
Speaker 3: as I started squeezing, I realized she didn't go anywhere
Speaker 3: near because she had to, So I just told her.
Speaker 3: I told her to get the fuck out.
Speaker 2: And just.
Speaker 1: How dude, how big was this fucking pimple?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 3: It started off super small, like the size of any
Speaker 3: like little like pin dot pimple, but it grew up
Speaker 3: to like damn near the size of a bbe, like
Speaker 3: a little bit bigger, you know, like BB guns.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, that's not that big of bb.
Speaker 3: No, it's not that big. But I certainly felt it, dude,
Speaker 3: when you're fucking you feel that thing. And this started
Speaker 3: bugging me.
Speaker 1: Okay, so once you uh sort of popped it or
Speaker 1: cut it off, like what happened? Like it did it? Heal?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: I mean so at first she made that first decision,
Speaker 3: and I had to keep cutting down. But I got
Speaker 3: to a point where I got like fifty percent of
Speaker 3: it uncovered. And this was like a thirty minute process
Speaker 3: because I was shaking off, scared and shit, fucking blood everyone.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just kept trying to tug it off,
Speaker 3: but that thing was like super glued to my fucking
Speaker 3: my skin. So I just had to, like, like bit
Speaker 3: by bit, just pull it and cut, pull it and cut.
Speaker 3: I butcher a lot of meat, so I knew what
Speaker 3: to do. But yeah, it was on me, so it
Speaker 3: was kind of a different change. But yeah, after I
Speaker 3: cut it out, I should healed up right away.
Speaker 2: Closed.
Speaker 3: I didn't need stitches or nothing. At work, I got
Speaker 3: like I wear I'm a mechanic, so we have like
Speaker 3: glue for cuts like that, not like that, but for
Speaker 3: cuts in general. So I just super glued that thing,
Speaker 3: shut it down, cleaned it up, kept it cool for
Speaker 3: like a week.
Speaker 1: Wait, I'm sorry, what are you super glue?
Speaker 3: Well, at my job, I have like it's like super
Speaker 3: glue when you get a cut, so you can like glue.
Speaker 2: Your wounding shut.
Speaker 3: So I just grewed the incisions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're
Speaker 3: not rid of it.
Speaker 1: You glued your own dick pimple back together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's a little hole there because there was
Speaker 3: a little like sist in there after I was done,
Speaker 3: you know, there's still there. So I just shut it clothes,
Speaker 3: kept it clean.
Speaker 2: No more issues.
Speaker 1: Mmmmm, well, I'm happy to hear that you're doing well now.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, I'm doing great, man, How are you doing that?
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good too. Actually, I'm doing all right.
Speaker 1: I'm doing okay. I'm glad to hear that your part.
Speaker 1: Did you feel like this had any impact upon your relationship?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: I mean, if it did, it was probably a good one.
Speaker 3: I think it was one of the better memories with
Speaker 3: me and my lady.
Speaker 1: That's sweet.
Speaker 3: Worst part is, though, this is when I was still
Speaker 3: living with my parents. So I was at my parents.
Speaker 3: I was doing this, and my mom she has like
Speaker 3: a special wound spray that like drives out wounds pretty good,
Speaker 3: and I need some of that stuff too, just to
Speaker 3: help keep everything clean. As soon as I asked for it,
Speaker 3: it was an issue. Man, she got scared.
Speaker 2: She's like, what happened?
Speaker 3: Would you do?
Speaker 2: What's the problem?
Speaker 3: Like, dude, seriously, I don't I don't want to talk
Speaker 3: about it, but I just teach the wound spray.
Speaker 2: What's my name?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a good. Go ahead, finish your story
Speaker 1: about your your mom.
Speaker 3: But yeah, my name's Chenpe. But yeah, she she told
Speaker 3: me she basically she wouldn't give me the wound spray
Speaker 3: until I told her what happened. So I gave her
Speaker 3: the whole feeling, just told her what I told you
Speaker 3: right now, and then she hits me with the oh,
Speaker 3: your dad gets so ah, So what do you mean
Speaker 3: my dad gets those? And yeah, so it made sense.
Speaker 3: Everything came to a full circle at the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that's the that's that's the deterministic nature
Speaker 1: of life hitting you right in the dick. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? It really it's like, that's the deterministic
Speaker 1: nature of life hitting you in the dick, right is
Speaker 1: you You can't decide to whom you are born in.
Speaker 2: This world, That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: You may you may well be. You may well have
Speaker 1: a cursed bloodline that forces you to have pimples on
Speaker 1: your penis occasionally.
Speaker 3: But now one day I'm gonna have to tell my son,
Speaker 3: Hey son, you might have a I don't know, but.
Speaker 1: Where free will kicks in. Where free will kicks in
Speaker 1: is the free will to choose a wonderful partner who
Speaker 1: will be there to help you.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: To cut the worts off your penis. And how beautiful
Speaker 1: is that?
Speaker 3: That's why I put a ring on it. Man, getting
Speaker 3: married that girl?
Speaker 1: What a wholesome story.
Speaker 3: What's up?

Speaker 1: Get that was Cente. Yeah, dude, I think I believe
Speaker 1: in free will to some degree. Uh, there's I believe in.
Speaker 1: Like I think life is like fifty to fifty. I
Speaker 1: think it's fifty to fifty. There's so many things in
Speaker 1: life you just can't control. You can't control the genetics
Speaker 1: you were born, to where you were born, all that shit.
Speaker 1: So you know that's life. Life is like fifty percent
Speaker 1: of it is just it just gives you bullshit like
Speaker 1: a like a like penis pimples, and the other fifty percent.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's whatever you do with that bullshit,
Speaker 1: the choices you make to help you get through it.
