0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Hello, Hi.

0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 2>What's your name? Oh my god, yeah, I need it.

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm Lily Hire.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Lily. What's up. How I'm Liles.

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Nice to meet you. Oh my gosh. Yeah. How's Are

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.080
<v Speaker 1>you excited for Christmas? Holiday?

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 2>No? I no, I'm I'm not. I I'm not excited

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 2>about them at all. I I viewed most holidays as

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 2>interruptions to my life actually at this point, Yeah, yeah,

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't give it. Like New Year's I don't care. Christmas,

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't care. You know, I don't have I think

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 2>it's for a few reasons. I mean, I don't have

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>a real job, so I still I still, uh, I

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>still have to work. I guess, yeah, I don't. I

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>don't have like a kid, so I'm not doing that.

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Do you do you celebrate the passage of time? No?

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I try not to think about the passage of time,

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 2>or I mean, I think about the passage of time

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot. I just don't. There's no reason for me

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 2>to care about any of those holidays. I like the

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 2>way that Christmas looks, and I like the way that

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Halloween looks, but I just I view them as interruptions,

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>you know. I like, I like normal days and the

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 2>holidays that kind of fuck them up. I know that

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 2>sounds insane. I know I sound like a crazy person,

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 2>but that's no, No.

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's crazy at all. I think it's

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>just you know, I think everyone has their like like

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>opinion on it for sure, but I don't know for me.

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like I'm driving home right now, and like

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>family stuff is weird, and I think it's weird for everyone.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>But as I get older, it's like, okay, I always

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>just like I go home to family, and then I'm

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>a year older and I'm like, oh cool, I care

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 1>a little bit less about their opinion, and so it's

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>like a nice little murker of like growth or lack

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>of growth. And then I don't know, it's like a

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>check in by the lights are pretty too, So I

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>feel it.

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Why Why is family weird?

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>So I am from like a very small town and

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>like so I am twenty eighth and like there's just

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>some like I'm trying to move internationally. I'm like bisexual.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I've ben come out to like my parents yet, so

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of weird for that way. I've bes I

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>have like a girl come over for Thanksgiving. It was

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 1>like a situationship thing. But I didn't really have that

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>conversation my parents yet. And then I like get home

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, oh man, I'm still not like strong

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 1>enough to have this conversation. I guess that's like, like

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's like a part of it. So it's

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.839
<v Speaker 1>just like over time, it's like I don't know, it's

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>just like little threads of that relationship and stuff. It's

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>always like makes me feel weird. But they're also getting

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>older and I have like nephews and shit now, so

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>it's like I have to like show up for them

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>because I love them, but it's also like a fear

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>of lack of acceptance. But I don't really necessarily care,

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>but I do.

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>So so that every year you care a little less.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I think so. But I haven't like pulled the trigger

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>on like the action of it. Does that make sense?

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sure that doesn't make sense.

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But like it's not like like if they ever

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>like asked me about it, then I'm like I wouldn't

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>feel as weird, but it's just like hard to broach

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>the conversation.

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 1>But that's that's just one little like chunk of stuff.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 2>But mm hmm. Yeah, so how are you spending the holidays.

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go visit parents and my brother and go

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 1>through the nephews. And that's like another little aspect of

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>it is he has He's only two years older than me,

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>so he has like the house and the family and

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the wife and the white pick of sense. And I'm

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to like get out of the country and like travel,

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, all over the place.

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Your nephew is two years older than you, that my

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>brother's two.

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>Years older than me. Okay, yes, okay, but he's like

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 1>super accomplished, and I'm just like, oh, like I I

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>have my accomplishments, but like I don't know, it's just

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>like a weird like comparative thing. But I love them

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>very much.

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 2>Do you want the white picket fence life?

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>But I think it makes things easier.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 2>In what in what way it makes things easier? Like

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>what does it make easier?

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just like more like accepting I suppose, Okay, I

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 1>guess do you what was that? No, I'm just driving.

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, what was that cat that was me? Yelling? Yeah? Yeah,

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm the cat you yeah?

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>So hmm, okay, so you it's an easier life to

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 2>explain to your family, is what you're saying.

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>It's an easier life to explain them my family. And

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>also I feel like the it's more mapped out, it's

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>more linear, it's easier to do as opposed to like

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>doing what we all individually want to do and have

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to explore and like jump into like the unknown, like

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what that's what we should be doing. But it's

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>like scary and painful in a bunch of ways because

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>we don't know what that's like, and fear is very

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable when you're in it, and so there's like a

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>part time it's like I wish I liked the white

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>ticket fand situation, but I don't. So it's like on

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that jumping told of like moving forward.

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 2>But so so what is jumping? What is jumping forward

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 2>looking like for you these days?

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>So about So I'm trying to, like I said, like

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 1>get out of the country. I'm trying to do international teaching.

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I get like all of that, but it's like super expensive.

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm like trying to like save up as much

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 1>as I can and just like I don't know, like

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.359
<v Speaker 1>suck around and find out and see what happens, but

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>it's also very scary because it's just like it's really

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 1>me doing all of this and it's hard, and like

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>financials are hard. I swear I had more to talk about.

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean? What what do you mean? You

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of stuff? What are you talking about?

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 2>You have a lot of time.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>But there was like there were like so many like

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>individual situations. I'm like and now I'm like, of course,

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's.

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So where where do you want to go to teach?

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>So I went to Amsterdam back in October and it

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>was so nice and like all the little coffee smoke

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>shops and like I had truffles and it was just

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>really it was it was a vibe. And there's a

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>magic bookshops museum thing out there called the Writtman Museum

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>or the Writtman Library, and it's full of like old

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>magic books, so like King Solomon's like where he sealed

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>all the demons into like the rings and stuff. All

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>those books are on display and you can volunteer to

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>like work there, and it was just really cool and

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm I don't know, it was like a good feeling.

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 1>But Amsterdam's pool Morocco's on my list, Highland's on my list.

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Amsterdam's Amsterdam is one of my three favorite cities on

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the planet. Actually, Oh, it's.

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 1>So fun and everyone's so nice and yeah, and it's

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>like people party, but they're not like belligerent, like they

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>know how to like I mean not. I'm not trying

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to generalize, because there were a couple like weirdo, like

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, uncomfy situations, but uh, for the most part of.

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 2>It, dick okay, So you're trying to just kind of

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 2>like run out abroad and do go on like little

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 2>weird adventures, a.

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Weird little adventure. And then there's also like another part

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of this too is it's just like there's so much

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>pressure because now I've been like saving, So I've been

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>doing like sex works for the past like five years

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>just for the fact of saving because like I'm a

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>librarian like by like trade and like you don't really

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 1>get paid a whole lot. So I've been doing that

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 1>like on the side to just like try to get

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>more money, and like it's been working, but now I'm

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>just like okay, like I'm so tired of it. And

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>there's such an underbelly of all of that, and like

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm pro sex work, like do your thing, but I

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>feel like there's so much more to it, and I'm like,

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>my like my future is kind of like tinging on

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>all this to work out. And I'm like, if kind

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>of this comes to pass and all of the work

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I've done will, I don't know, it's just like it'll

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>it'll be heavier. But I know that's like an anxiety

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like weather situation. So I'm trying not to think about

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>that and like stay positive.

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 2>But like, yeah, yeah, I see here that you you

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 2>texted me saying I'm five years into I'm five years

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 2>into non digital sex work, and I am losing my

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 2>mind the complexity of the human underbelly. What does that mean?

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I have so many stories. I have so many stories,

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>but like like it's just some It's a whole wide

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>range of clients. A lot of them are like middle age,

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>divorced dads or like older men, and like there's been

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>like really rather really like gross guys or like I

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know, like I'm very sensitive, I guess. And there's

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>this one guy who had this like bigger house and

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>like he would collect all of like people in attendo

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>sixty four and all these devices and stuff, and he

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>was super sweet, but he didn't have a date for

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>like fifty years and he just like didn't know how

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to date or talk to women, and that was his

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>thing and he was a sweetheart, and I'm just like

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that broke me. And then there's like other guys that

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.679
<v Speaker 1>are just like cheating on their wives and I don't know,

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>or they're like or their daughters are the same age

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.079
<v Speaker 1>as me, and I'm like, this is weird. And I

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know, there's such a huge underbelly of it of

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 1>just like there's so much that goes into it. I

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>don't don't know.

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 2>And you said, you've been doing that for five years.

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, since covid I was originally on. So I

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 1>went to like a Christmas party and found out about

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>like foot fetishes. It's like a very long story. And

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 1>then I was like selling foot pictures. I was like

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.199
<v Speaker 1>read it and that was kind of fun, and then

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:57.839
<v Speaker 1>like I just like moved off of there. And yeah, so,

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>like I said, it's a very long story.

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 2>But and so we're I mean, were you able to

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 2>save up what you needed to save up in those

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 2>five years?

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah, yeah, so I I did I did enough

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.319
<v Speaker 1>and I set like emergency fund the side and all

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>of that. But now that I'm like looking at I'm

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>just like, okay, like everything needs to work out now,

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>so I'm trying to pip it out of it, and

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>so there's like an extra like heavy weight on it.

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know, well, what do.

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>You mean everything needs to work out.

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Like for moving right, for taking that? Like I don't

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>like what I'm trying to think of what I.

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Mean, like like what is working out? I mean like

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 2>you like, are you trying to get a job, Like

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to get a job in one of these places.

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, And so I'm just like I have like

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 1>job fair scheduled and stuff. But I feel like if

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>things it's always like the what is it, prepare for

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the prepare for the worst, hope for the best sort

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:13.080
<v Speaker 1>of thing. Yeah. Yeah, So I'm like I wanted to

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 1>work out, but then in the back of my head,

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like if it doesn't, then like what was the

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>point of all of this?

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 2>What was the point of saying And it's not.

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Just and it's not just with yeah, like doing doing

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the sex work or saving up or you know, like

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>all of the energy and research and all of it,

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and like, I don't know, that's like a point of anxiety.

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm hmmm, what was the point of it?

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because like it's just really it's kind of like

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>a relationship where you like, was it sun cost fallacy?

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Where you put so much of yourself into something and

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>then for whatever reason if like it doesn't work out,

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>then you're I don't know, it's just it's hard.

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I don't know, man, life is the sun

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 2>costs fallacy? I mean, what was the point of knowing?

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 1>My theory with that is like you have to do something.

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>What else are you going to do? Just you have

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 1>to do something. You have to pick something to do,

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>So I'm like I might as well see the world.

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know. And it's also like the sex

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 1>work too, is just like I don't know, Like I

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>grew up in a very like religious background and so

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just really especially now with like the over I

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>think an oversaturation of sex work like throughout the Internet

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and in general because of COVID, like people really picked

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 1>up on it. A lot of sex workers will complain

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>about that because of how obersaturated it is. So it's

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.040
<v Speaker 1>just like I had a point.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 2>As I mean, it's a noble profession. I believe that.

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, hell yeah yeah.

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think you it's not like you uh

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>did I. I I genuinely think that doing sex work.

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's more noble of a way of making

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 2>money than like like buying and selling cryptocurrency.

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I agree. And it's like there's a part

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 1>of it that's really fun, like really fun, and like

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I got a lot of like I grew a lot

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 1>because of it.

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 1>But it's also like a double edged thing. And yeah,

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>because I've watched a couple of videos who before. It's

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 1>just something that like the both sides that it doesn't

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about.

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know what was the point of anything.

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you you you uh you helped people, you

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 2>uh saved money in an attempt to enrich your own life.

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 2>You got to You're gonna get to attempt to travel

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 2>and do these things. It sounds like there were points.

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like it has not been a completely vapid

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 2>experience for you.

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 1>No, it's just I don't know where to put it at,

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, and also where to put the experience and

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>like it unlocked like a whole new part of myself

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and also unlock a whole new understanding of like other

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 1>people and the debating and all of it. So it's

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>just about like processing and like integrating, you know.

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 4>Mm hmm.

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So what what if things were like what what's

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 2>the vision for things working out perfectly? Like if you

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 2>wave your magic wand and everything works out perfectly? How's

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 2>that look? Long?

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so long, long, long term goal I want to

0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 1>have And I feel like this. I talk a lot

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.920
<v Speaker 1>about this too different people, so it might be a

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>little identifying, but whatever. But like the end then goal

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 1>is I want to have a house with a little

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.360
<v Speaker 1>covered porch like a little cabin, and it's a wrap

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.199
<v Speaker 1>around covered porch, and then the front there is a

0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>little tiny lake that freezes over in the winter, and

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 1>there's a little fire pit and you can go swimming

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 1>in the lake when it's warm outside. And then I

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:39.920
<v Speaker 1>want to have a rocking chair in the covered porch,

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and I want to have a cat in my lap

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and a cup of tea, and inside I have an

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.399
<v Speaker 1>Alaskan king bed and refrigerator which have like all the

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 1>different types of ice in it, like the moon shades

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 1>ice and the ones with the holes in it and

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the crushed ice, and I want to have like a

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.720
<v Speaker 1>little bit of wood so I can go like hiking

0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 1>in and whatnot. And I want to be a little

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 1>old lady in my roccing chair with my cat and

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 1>my tea fire blazing. You can hear the ice crackle,

0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.199
<v Speaker 1>the snow for snowfall just falls and then I have

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.080
<v Speaker 1>a brain aneurism and that's it. Oh and then you

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 1>die and so yeah, so I'm sorry. I'm trying to

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:17.919
<v Speaker 1>like work backwards, all right.

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 2>You want to make it? Yeah, you want to You

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 2>want to make it to eighty and die.

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.919
<v Speaker 1>It depends on the state in my body, right, and

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:31.640
<v Speaker 1>then like what's going on because rather eighty is very

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.920
<v Speaker 1>like I met very young eighty year olds, and I

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.199
<v Speaker 1>met very like old eighty year olds or seventy year olds, right,

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 1>so it's like it depends on like how things work out.

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 1>But I'm like, okay, I need Like a house on

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>a lake is very expensive, right, like unless you're an

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Airbnb or like generational wealth or something like, it's really

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 1>hard to come by. But I'm like, does it have

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 1>to be in the States? Can it be someplace else?

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Does it?

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Can it be in cannabis? So I'm trying to go

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 1>like lake hopping and like see what's up. I don't know.

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:06.919
<v Speaker 1>That's like the ultimate goal. But then there's like a

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>bunch of stuff in between.

0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you want to exist next to a lake. Yeah,

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I think we can do that. I think it's an

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:18.800
<v Speaker 2>achievable goal for you.

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but not like a huge lake, but like enough

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that I can like swim in it, but not super

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>big that it has made you know what I mean,

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.000
<v Speaker 1>like not like finger lake lakes.

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 2>What's your name is, Lily? Yeah, I mean you can

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 2>go to a lake. You can go sit by a

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 2>lake right now.

0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but like there's no lakes where I live, Like

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you have to drive to go to a lake. I

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.200
<v Speaker 1>need to live, like I need a lake community.

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay you don't, Yeah, I mean you can just go

0:19:55.520 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 2>to a lake. You don't, yeh You I think hard? No,

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.199
<v Speaker 2>it's not hard. I feel like you're Yeah, what you

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 2>just described is not. I mean you want like own it.

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess you're talking about like you want to own

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 2>a lake house. But uh, I mean here's the thing.

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Whether you own a lake house or whether you own

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 2>a lake house or you go to a lake, you're

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 2>still fucking at the lake.

0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, been so expensive, That's what I'm saying. I'm like, well,

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:25.480
<v Speaker 1>what do you what do I have to do? What's

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.520
<v Speaker 1>going on? And then there's so much more stuff in

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 1>between that you know, and there's so many lakes out there.

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Also lighthouses. That's another one. I want to have a

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 1>lake and lighthouse hopping.

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever been to a lighthouse?

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been to many lighthouses. And also I think I

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was a sailor in a past life because every time

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I go to lighthouse and it's like rocky shores and

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.159
<v Speaker 1>it's like crashing up. I just fucking cry like a

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 1>little baby, and I think I die at sea.

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 2>When are you gonna go on your journey to wherever

0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:01.920
<v Speaker 2>you're going?

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. So I'm doing some school stuff and

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I have to quit my job because it's unpaid by

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:20.240
<v Speaker 1>teaching student teaching for three months, which is bullshit, and

0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>then I don't know. I have to figure figure it

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>out so hopefully by spring. But if that doesn't work,

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 1>then I'm probably gonna go West or something like Pacific

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:38.199
<v Speaker 1>Northwest is really cool but also very expensive, so I

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know, what's.

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.199
<v Speaker 2>Your what's your brother think about your life when you

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 2>talk to him and you're like, oh, you have a

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.240
<v Speaker 2>this and that and the other thing. I'm doing this.

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know if I've ever like talked to

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:02.120
<v Speaker 1>him about like a little bit of the jealousy aspects

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 1>of it. But he's pretty supportive, you know. He's like

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 1>my older brothers, so we're pretty tight. Like I know

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you're tight with your sister, So it's kind of like similar, right,

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 1>that's nice because you like, yeah, yeah, you're like a

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 1>little kid and like you kind of hate each other.

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And he was like my first bully and was like

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the Barby's head is off my doll and like throw

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>them on the roof and like she'd me with this

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.359
<v Speaker 1>beabie gun. But then I would like beat him up

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:28.520
<v Speaker 1>when you want to PlayStation, you know. And then it's

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 1>like you get older and things change, but you still

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>have that like deep connection. And I came out to

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 1>him and he was just like that just makes you cooler,

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and he's like when can I meet her? And I'm

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, so it's it's it's nice that way. So

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 1>do you have pretty supportive No, I have like a

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>situation thing. But man, women are hard, like honestly and

0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 1>like a little scary. You know. Sure it's like a

0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>little intimate dating, but yeah, and also too, it's like

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.720
<v Speaker 1>with everything going on, I'm like, I just don't have

0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Like I got on Hinge and went on a couple

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:13.040
<v Speaker 1>of dates with girls, and there was one girl I

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>really liked, but like, I just I just don't have

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the energy your time. And also if I'm like trying

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 1>to move in six months or whatever, it's not very fair.

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:29.879
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know, Well, Lily, I wish you good

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 2>luck on your journeys. I think thank you. I don't

0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:37.720
<v Speaker 2>know what I think I wish. I don't know whether

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had something motivational. I wish I had

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 2>something motivational to say to you, But.

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I I don't even know if there's a like a problem.

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:51.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just afraid all the time, but like not like

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:54.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm just internalizing it and I'm chill about it. But

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 1>then like if I think about it too much, I

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 1>just like panic. But we're five.

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I think you can get to a lake. I think

0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 2>we can do that for you.

0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I think so too. I'm just like, where, you know,

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:13.879
<v Speaker 1>there's so many of them.

0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Lily, is there anything else you want to say to

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the people of the computer before we go.

0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:20.200
<v Speaker 1>There's a good quote that I read in a book

0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 1>that I completely forgot, and it's this is also out

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 1>of this also this is also adding myself a little bit.

0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think it was like, don't slow dance with

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 1>your skeletons. And I just really fuck with that.

0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 2>What don't slow dance with your skeleton? What does that mean?

0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't slow dance with your skeleton? So like all the

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.879
<v Speaker 1>past stuff, dance with it, but don't hold it that tightly,

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 1>don't like stick and ruminate on it. Let it go

0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 1>in a salsa. Do a little salsa. Don't slow dance.

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I like that. I'll keep that in mind. Yeah, yeah,

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 2>thank you, litt have a good rest of your life.

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm rooting for you. I think you'll I think you'll

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:05.160
<v Speaker 2>find your lake.

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:08.679

<v Speaker 1>Well, it's going good.

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 3>I just got to my apartment. I have a little

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 3>cat named Share and she's super cool. Sorry, I'm like

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 3>super nervous, so I'm a little bit hyper ventilating, and well,

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I had a really rough year. I did text in

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:55.960
<v Speaker 3>quite a few things, but yeah, it was kind of rough.

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 3>Just now barely getting on my feet and stuff, went

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:04.080
<v Speaker 3>through a crazy breakup and then now I'm just at

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:08.440
<v Speaker 3>my new apartment after leaving that relationship and never thought

0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 3>I would have my own apartment, and now I do

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:11.359
<v Speaker 3>in the city.

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty cool.

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, why why was Why was things rough? What

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 2>was bad? It's for you to talk about.

0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:29.160
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, I mean whatever. I'm down to talk about whatever.

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 3>Uh So, Yeah, I mean I left that relationship because

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 3>there was.

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:36.880
<v Speaker 4>Like some abuse going on.

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:44.840
<v Speaker 3>I have a daughter with him and she's poor, and yeah,

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 3>it's just not a great relationship. I actually, through reading,

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:54.280
<v Speaker 3>learned that he's the cobt narcissist and so that was

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 3>kind of rough, which I'm still coming to terms with,

0:27:57.000 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 3>just the fact that there's a lot of these people

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 3>out there that are really bad underneath.

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:07.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, now, what is it what makes somebody a covert narcissist.

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:11.399
<v Speaker 3>Well, like an overt narcissist is usually a person that

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:18.960
<v Speaker 3>they like outwardly are self centered, you know, self interested,

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:23.640
<v Speaker 3>like screw over others to get ahead, and a covert

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 3>doesn't do that to your face. They do that over time. So,

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 3>like once it got to the point where I was

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:36.280
<v Speaker 3>doing really good in my career and I think that's

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 3>when he turned and he like started to be like

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 3>a super different person to me. And what it's called

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 3>like the discard phase, where like they start to like

0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 3>kind of discard you, but you don't know it because

0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 3>it's covert.

0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Why DoD, Why was what was it about you doing

0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 2>well in your career that you believe made him made

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 2>him want to discard you.

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 3>I think that he was intimidated by it. I think

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 3>since the beginning of the relationship, he was always at

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:15.920
<v Speaker 3>a better position than I was, and I don't know,

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 3>I think it intimidated him. It made him feel less

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 3>than I work at a law firm that's like very

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 3>well known in the area, and so I think that

0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 3>some of that kind of I don't know, I think

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 3>that me being in this good position just maybe intimidated

0:29:36.200 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 3>him to where he felt threatened.

0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 4>Things like that.

0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know. I mean, you know, naurcistists really

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 3>loved power too, so I think that was part of it,

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 3>is where like he felt that he didn't have as

0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 3>much power. I was doing well now, making good money

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 3>and so yeah.

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Hmm, okay, and uh, you you have a kid with him?

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was just gonna say I'm literally currently still

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 3>going through Well, it's not custody anymore, it's just child

0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:18.040
<v Speaker 3>support stuff.

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:22.719
<v Speaker 4>He uh.

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 3>He's screwed me over in legal hariots too, because I

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 3>can't afford an attorney, and so he, with his attorney

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 3>has screwed me over with you know, stuff like child support.

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 3>And so right now I'm still trying to fight against

0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 3>that because of the fact that I'm paying him child

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:46.360
<v Speaker 3>support because he screwed me over. He ent his attorney

0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 3>light to the judge to get.

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 4>Out of child support.

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>So where is your kid now?

0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 3>She's with him. We do half and half join custody,

0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:00.600
<v Speaker 3>which is another thing. He baptized her without me knowing,

0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 3>which is crazy. Oh yeah, like, and that's a thing

0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 3>that goes against the joint custody. But in legal matters,

0:31:08.040 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, how are you gonna really you can't take

0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 3>back a baptism or anything, which I'm not against at all,

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 3>but the fact that it was hidden is really messed up.

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>You know. So, do you guys at least live in

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the same city?

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 1>We dom h.

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.760
<v Speaker 2>So you had a kid with this guy, I guess

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm very interested. I suppose in like, and because

0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 2>it's a fearful thought, and I'm sorry that this happens

0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:44.360
<v Speaker 2>to you. It's a fearful thought that you like kind

0:31:44.400 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 2>of like trust someone enough to do really big, serious

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 2>life things with them. And I assume you, you know,

0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, don't do those things like foolishly or quickly

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 2>you do those things. Is even even even if you

0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:05.760
<v Speaker 2>do them over time, even if you do everything right,

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and you you do everything, what would what's the word

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 2>cautiously cautiously optimistically? You could still wind up being like,

0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:22.160
<v Speaker 2>what the fuck? I never I don't think I knew

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:25.200
<v Speaker 2>this person? Is that? What is that? What you feel

0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 2>like happened to you? Or did you feel like there

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 2>you were ignoring like signs of some kind?

0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, I don't think it was signs per se,

0:32:38.480 --> 0:32:41.479
<v Speaker 3>because at the beginning it was very much like love bombing,

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 3>and that's part of the narcissistic personality to get into

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 3>relationships and things like that, the love.

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Of bombing phase.

0:32:49.240 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 3>And then just over time I started to realize like

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm not being given the you know, love and things

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 3>like that of you know, reallyationship. And then closer to

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 3>the end, it was just kind of in my face,

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:09.320
<v Speaker 3>where like he just didn't care about my time. He

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 3>thought his own stuff was much more important than me,

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, like even when I was giving birth, like

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:21.680
<v Speaker 3>it was about him. And you know, usually when you

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 3>are your significant others giving birth, you know you want

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 3>to comfort them, you know, pat them, things like that,

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 3>and that just doesn't didn't happen. And so over time

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:33.240
<v Speaker 3>and then I'm now in a new relationship where I

0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:36.960
<v Speaker 3>do see the actual like love and affection that does

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:41.440
<v Speaker 3>go into a relationship that just wasn't there before. But

0:33:41.680 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 3>it is pretty scary because it's like you don't really

0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 3>see it because at the beginning and there, it's like

0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 3>it's like a lot of love bombing. So it's like,

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 3>do you think that it's going to be that way,

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:56.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, for years and years to come. But then,

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.360
<v Speaker 3>like for my example, it just felt like at a

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 3>point he just didn't care, you know, to to even

0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 3>pretend to be a good partner.

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:10.080
<v Speaker 2>How long were you with him?

0:34:10.080 --> 0:34:10.160
<v Speaker 4>For?

0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Four years? Said? Yeah, I'm sorry, the kid is four

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 2>years old? How long were you with the guy?

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:17.720
<v Speaker 4>Three years?

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:22.879
<v Speaker 3>So last year December was when everything started to hit

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:28.799
<v Speaker 3>the fan. Yeah, it just it went really it went

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 3>downhill pretty quickly. But it all started kind of like

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 3>a few years ago in July. I you know, this

0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:41.600
<v Speaker 3>might be very sensitive, but like I went through an

0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:46.000
<v Speaker 3>abortion and so like he just wasn't there and when

0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 3>we talked about it, it just really came down to

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 3>his Catholic guilt about it all, and so he like

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:53.640
<v Speaker 3>pushed me away as.

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Well because of it.

0:34:54.520 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 3>So, you know, it just over time, just a lot

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 3>of little things here and there where it's like, you know,

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:05.000
<v Speaker 3>you don't do those kinds of things to the person

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:07.919
<v Speaker 3>that you love. And now he's in a new relationship

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 3>with someone that's my girl. And it's because I know

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 3>this because apparently my current boyfriend was in a band

0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 3>with her and she was a lead singer. And now

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:26.280
<v Speaker 3>my current boyfriend had screwed his current girlfriend, which is crazy.

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Huh, where'd you meet your current boyfriend?

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:34.280
<v Speaker 4>On field? Actually?

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Field? What's going on? On Field?

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:41.759
<v Speaker 3>It's actually I mean, if you want well, when I

0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:44.799
<v Speaker 3>was looking, I was never intending to be in a relationship,

0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:48.399
<v Speaker 3>and actually, like we talked, I was talking to him

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:51.279
<v Speaker 3>for months and months until I decided to be in

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.479
<v Speaker 3>a relationship with him. And I mean, if you want

0:35:54.560 --> 0:35:56.880
<v Speaker 3>sex and don't on a relationship, get on field.

0:35:58.400 --> 0:36:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I gotta imagine the people. Yeah, but I gotta imagine

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:07.520
<v Speaker 2>the like I catta imagine. If you're a woman on

0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:12.640
<v Speaker 2>that website, it's like you have eight hundred trillion messages,

0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:15.399
<v Speaker 2>and if you're a guy, it's probably not. I don't

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I gotta imagine that's it's skewed.

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:20.200
<v Speaker 5>Mm hmmm.

0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah it is, from what I've heard on his end

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:26.359
<v Speaker 3>of it. Yeah, for me, it was to a point

0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:28.879
<v Speaker 3>kind of overwhelming. And I don't want to sound kind

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:32.080
<v Speaker 3>of like, I don't know, like a conceited or anything,

0:36:32.120 --> 0:36:34.719
<v Speaker 3>but I mean for a woman, it's pretty overwhelming. The

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:38.560
<v Speaker 3>dating apps, because I was on quite a few actually

0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 3>before I decided to get off of them.

0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Was which one was the best? Was it Field?

0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:51.759
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, I think Field, And I think I

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:55.920
<v Speaker 3>was on Bumble too, but yeah, Tinder was a lot

0:36:55.960 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 3>of like flaky men actually, and then I never got

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:01.800
<v Speaker 3>on the Hinge either.

0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Mm hm. So I see of your own apartment now,

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:10.560
<v Speaker 2>it sounds like life is good. So it sounds like

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.839
<v Speaker 2>life is better for you. It sounds like things are good.

0:37:14.040 --> 0:37:14.400
<v Speaker 1>It is.

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:18.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm, you know, thankfully there's some break between school, but

0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:22.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm also going to school, and you know last semester.

0:37:22.800 --> 0:37:25.200
<v Speaker 3>This semester, I had a I had my first like

0:37:25.360 --> 0:37:28.640
<v Speaker 3>real panic attack, and I think it had to do

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:32.640
<v Speaker 3>a lot with adderall, which is why I stopped taking it.

0:37:35.200 --> 0:37:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah what what about like you're just doing doing You're

0:37:41.080 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 2>doing too much adderall?

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 4>Well I took.

0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:48.360
<v Speaker 3>I think it was it was like an anxiety panic

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:51.440
<v Speaker 3>attack where it was kind of broad on because I

0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:55.560
<v Speaker 3>smoked some weed. But earlier that day I had taken

0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:59.040
<v Speaker 3>like some adderall because I'm studying, and so I think

0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 3>I had a moment of just like panic.

0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Which like was the weed really like brought it out?

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:09.399
<v Speaker 4>I think because it's just I.

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:12.319
<v Speaker 3>Was already on edge, and I think the weed, which

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't usually like, I don't usually get really high,

0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:19.279
<v Speaker 3>but for some reason this hit like really messed with

0:38:19.320 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 3>me and my boyfriend had to pick me up and

0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:24.200
<v Speaker 3>drive to take me to the hospital.

0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:25.200
<v Speaker 4>It is really scary.

0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah wait, you combined weed weed in adderall. I do Yeah,

0:38:31.960 --> 0:38:35.200
<v Speaker 2>I do that all the time. And it's and it's

0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I do it all the time. And you want to

0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:42.720
<v Speaker 2>know something crazy, what I do it all the time.

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I do it all the time, and every time it's

0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:55.400
<v Speaker 2>a terrible idea. You would think, and you would think

0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:59.240
<v Speaker 2>that's the weirdest part. You would think after the first

0:38:59.280 --> 0:39:03.440
<v Speaker 2>time of doing it and realizing it's a terrible idea,

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:08.520
<v Speaker 2>you would not continue to do it all the time.

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:12.759
<v Speaker 2>But yet it makes perfect sense to me my dumb brain.

0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:16.239
<v Speaker 2>I think this has how a lot of people's brains work. Mind, Like,

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:20.160
<v Speaker 2>my dumb brain is like, oh, if you smoke weed

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:24.400
<v Speaker 2>while you're on a stimulant, it's it's like you did nothing.

0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:27.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, It's like a net becomes a net zeal

0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:31.239
<v Speaker 2>it cancels down. But that's the that's the dumbest thing

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:35.120
<v Speaker 2>of all time that I keep And it's extra dumb

0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 2>because I continue to believe it.

0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and well, I think because you know, weed is

0:39:40.960 --> 0:39:42.960
<v Speaker 3>actually like a sollucinogenic.

0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:44.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not like a down or like alcohol.

0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:48.360
<v Speaker 3>So if I ever feel like on adderall, I'm like

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:50.279
<v Speaker 3>a little bit too much on the edge, then I'll

0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:52.839
<v Speaker 3>tick like I'll have like a beer or something that

0:39:52.880 --> 0:39:55.919
<v Speaker 3>helps me bring me down. But I think I'm done

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:58.759
<v Speaker 3>with adderall because my panic attack scared the shit out

0:39:58.800 --> 0:40:02.200
<v Speaker 3>of me, like it was a associative, Like my heart

0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:05.440
<v Speaker 3>was chalenting, like I was in the er with my

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:08.399
<v Speaker 3>headphones on, trying to like just breathe, and.

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:10.520
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't stop until it gave me some.

0:40:12.280 --> 0:40:14.359
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't know, it's the same family as Dan.

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:16.320
<v Speaker 3>I think it was aut Avant or something.

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, out events cool, I love drugs.

0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and yeah, sometimes it's you know, just you know,

0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:31.320
<v Speaker 3>sometimes it's not smart the way that we keep doing

0:40:31.360 --> 0:40:34.480
<v Speaker 3>the thing that we know is not good for us

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:37.120
<v Speaker 3>to do, which I mean that's me still with weed.

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, no, today I want like since I've been working,

0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:45.600

<v Speaker 2>I how do I how do I make myself like

0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:04.040
<v Speaker 2>not conscious through this work? And I was like, I know,

0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll it's it's I guess. I was like working on

0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 2>all this shit. And then I was like, Okay, let

0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:15.960
<v Speaker 2>me take a vivance so of course I can get

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:18.360
<v Speaker 2>all this work done, but then also let me smoke

0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 2>weed so I can pretend not to be here.

0:41:22.760 --> 0:41:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Well, for me, it helps me get unstuck when

0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:28.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing like homework and I'm like stuck on a

0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 3>sentence or something. I'm like, yeah, let me just smoke

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:34.640
<v Speaker 3>a little weed. It'll give me some creative juices, maybe

0:41:34.680 --> 0:41:38.839
<v Speaker 3>like switch my mindset, which it has, and I think,

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.399
<v Speaker 3>you know, maybe the adderall. I think it just got

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 3>to a point where it was just maybe doing too much.

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't all be doing much.

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:50.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like like thirty milligrams a day is what

0:41:50.600 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 3>I had taken that day, So it was not much

0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:58.400
<v Speaker 3>at all, but yeah started, Yeah, yeah, I started. I

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 3>like five, and like I'm one hundred and twenty pounds,

0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:04.040
<v Speaker 3>so maybe that's something to do with how much I

0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 3>can take in.

0:42:05.600 --> 0:42:08.200
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it was, it was, it is crazy.

0:42:09.200 --> 0:42:11.560
<v Speaker 2>So what's next for your life? Human?

0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, well, I'm gonna probably keep smoking weed. You know,

0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:27.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to be studying for the el sat here soon,

0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:31.160
<v Speaker 3>so I might be going back on at all. He knows.

0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:35.720
<v Speaker 3>And then what else, I guess keep working my butt

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:39.279
<v Speaker 3>off to nearly pay this rent. I don't know.

0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:44.239
<v Speaker 2>That's life, man, You just gotta pay the rent.

0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm sorry all those things happened to you, but

0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:54.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm also glad to hear that it sounds like you're

0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:58.360
<v Speaker 2>doing pretty good. Notwithstanding, Yeah, no.

0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:01.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing pretty good. I mean, I definitely recommend reading

0:43:02.560 --> 0:43:06.040
<v Speaker 3>about you know, culvert narcissism and narcissism in general. I

0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:08.680
<v Speaker 3>think that it helps a lot. I think all women

0:43:08.760 --> 0:43:14.000
<v Speaker 3>should read this book called why, like how Why is

0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:16.640
<v Speaker 3>he so angry? Or something like that. I can't remember

0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:21.279
<v Speaker 3>the author, but it basically talks about men and their

0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:23.760
<v Speaker 3>aggression and things like that, and I think women should

0:43:24.280 --> 0:43:28.600
<v Speaker 3>read it just to kind of get those red flags in,

0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:31.160
<v Speaker 3>but also the green flags. I think green flags are

0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:33.160
<v Speaker 3>more important than the red flags.

0:43:33.200 --> 0:43:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Too interesting, Okay, so give us give us the thesis.

0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:43.239
<v Speaker 2>What were the main red flags discussed? And then what

0:43:43.280 --> 0:43:46.680
<v Speaker 2>were the main green flags discussed?

0:43:49.680 --> 0:43:56.400
<v Speaker 3>The puts beyond the spot a little bit, but.

0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean from what you remember.

0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:03.960
<v Speaker 3>From what our remembers were the red flags, Like, I

0:44:04.000 --> 0:44:08.399
<v Speaker 3>think if they don't put much consideration into what you want,

0:44:09.160 --> 0:44:14.319
<v Speaker 3>especially not considering you know, boundaries are super important, even

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:17.360
<v Speaker 3>if it's like a small thing like for example, like

0:44:17.480 --> 0:44:19.920
<v Speaker 3>my current boyfriend, I'm like, you can't sleep over tonight

0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:22.320
<v Speaker 3>and you have to put your foot down or else,

0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:26.120
<v Speaker 3>like it'll keep going, and so like I think just

0:44:26.760 --> 0:44:31.960
<v Speaker 3>having that kind of you know, your your own autonomy

0:44:31.960 --> 0:44:35.640
<v Speaker 3>over your your own self without trying, without letting it

0:44:36.160 --> 0:44:40.480
<v Speaker 3>overstep at all, because it just then it's like kind

0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:45.799
<v Speaker 3>of a domino effect where it just keeps happening, and

0:44:45.840 --> 0:44:51.080
<v Speaker 3>then the boundaries are number one, I think, And then

0:44:51.360 --> 0:44:55.799
<v Speaker 3>the green flag is really just I think listening to.

0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 4>Your body too.

0:44:58.200 --> 0:45:00.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's like your body feels good around this

0:45:01.040 --> 0:45:05.080
<v Speaker 3>person and at peace. That that's very important because another

0:45:05.120 --> 0:45:08.640
<v Speaker 3>red flag is when your body is reacting poorly, like

0:45:09.040 --> 0:45:10.680
<v Speaker 3>I was getting a ton of ut eyes.

0:45:11.160 --> 0:45:12.319
<v Speaker 1>I was getting a ton of ut.

0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Ice with my ex, and I think that was when

0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:19.120
<v Speaker 3>I was my head was getting a ton of ut

0:45:19.239 --> 0:45:22.200
<v Speaker 3>eyes and like act me like all the time all

0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:25.480
<v Speaker 3>the time, which is not the case now. And so

0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:28.400
<v Speaker 3>the other green flags, I mean just someone that really

0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:33.680
<v Speaker 3>genuinely wants to know you as a human, not just whatever.

0:45:33.880 --> 0:45:37.279
<v Speaker 3>Want to know you want to know the things that

0:45:37.320 --> 0:45:39.000
<v Speaker 3>would benefit then, you know.

0:45:40.640 --> 0:45:46.400
<v Speaker 2>M Yeah, it's interesting the way you said because when

0:45:46.440 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about the body stuff, I kind of interpreted

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:51.360
<v Speaker 2>that as like a mental like if you like feel

0:45:51.360 --> 0:45:55.120
<v Speaker 2>a sense of like like we if you feel like

0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:59.319
<v Speaker 2>a weird underlying sense of anxiety around them. But you're

0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about as far as like, uh, physical ailments.

0:46:04.600 --> 0:46:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, definitely physical ailments. I mean because over time,

0:46:09.000 --> 0:46:12.320
<v Speaker 3>you're with this person so much that that anxiety you

0:46:13.280 --> 0:46:17.920
<v Speaker 3>probably already are feeling is probably just a culmination that

0:46:17.960 --> 0:46:21.400
<v Speaker 3>you don't realize, you know. So like the anxiety is

0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:24.359
<v Speaker 3>not something that you can really pinpoint and be like, oh,

0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:27.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm having anxiety when I'm around this person. You can't

0:46:27.440 --> 0:46:30.360
<v Speaker 3>because you're always with this person, you know.

0:46:30.560 --> 0:46:31.880
<v Speaker 1>And so yeah, the.

0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Body, the acne and the utiy is like if you're

0:46:35.960 --> 0:46:40.279
<v Speaker 3>not feeling good down there, something's not right because I

0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:41.560
<v Speaker 3>wasn't doing anything different.

0:46:42.360 --> 0:46:54.520
<v Speaker 2>So you know, mhm, what was the uh catalystic incident

0:46:55.719 --> 0:46:59.239
<v Speaker 2>or a catalyst for picking up the book? Was there

0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 2>like one thing or was it just like.

0:47:03.480 --> 0:47:04.759
<v Speaker 4>I actually googled it.

0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I was at our apartment in my with my daughter

0:47:08.400 --> 0:47:08.799
<v Speaker 3>in bed.

0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I was on my phone googling stuff, and I don't know.

0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:14.160
<v Speaker 1>For some reason, never occurred.

0:47:13.800 --> 0:47:16.240
<v Speaker 3>To me that I could have been emotional abuse because

0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:19.320
<v Speaker 3>I felt like I was being abused, but I didn't

0:47:19.360 --> 0:47:21.520
<v Speaker 3>know what it was, and so I started to google it,

0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:24.440
<v Speaker 3>which you know, in hindscho like it does sound like

0:47:24.520 --> 0:47:29.680
<v Speaker 3>something that's like like something that you can already Like

0:47:30.160 --> 0:47:33.640
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't sound like a big revelation thing, but it

0:47:33.680 --> 0:47:35.920
<v Speaker 3>is when you're in a relationship for that long a

0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:38.640
<v Speaker 3>time where you've been emotionally abused for so long that

0:47:38.680 --> 0:47:42.120
<v Speaker 3>you don't really realize that you're being emotionally bion. And

0:47:42.160 --> 0:47:45.600
<v Speaker 3>so I did googling and then saw all the things

0:47:45.640 --> 0:47:49.040
<v Speaker 3>in that googling that he was doing were the same

0:47:49.120 --> 0:47:53.680
<v Speaker 3>things until I started to do a lot of audio.

0:47:53.280 --> 0:47:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Books and buy the books.

0:47:55.840 --> 0:47:59.719
<v Speaker 3>And you know, it was rough because when you're reading it,

0:47:59.800 --> 0:48:04.120
<v Speaker 3>you're like crying because it's like, holy shit, why did

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:06.719
<v Speaker 3>I not connect the dots?

0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, but yeah, I feel like that's how a

0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:12.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of the shit starts as you just start, especially

0:48:12.680 --> 0:48:16.120
<v Speaker 2>nowadays with like AI and everything. Everyone's everyone's always going

0:48:16.120 --> 0:48:20.520
<v Speaker 2>to like chat EPT and Gemini being like, uh, hey,

0:48:20.560 --> 0:48:23.480
<v Speaker 2>is it normal for like my boyfriend to do this,

0:48:23.640 --> 0:48:25.839
<v Speaker 2>my girlfriend to do this, or even if icking going

0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to Reddit before that being like is it normal for

0:48:28.360 --> 0:48:30.920
<v Speaker 2>this that and the other? Yeah, you know, and I

0:48:31.000 --> 0:48:36.799
<v Speaker 2>do in a sense believe that have I kind of

0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:42.440
<v Speaker 2>am on the camp of having to ask is your answer,

0:48:44.640 --> 0:48:45.400
<v Speaker 2>especially if.

0:48:45.239 --> 0:48:50.839
<v Speaker 6>You have to ask a lot mm hmm. I mean

0:48:50.880 --> 0:48:55.560
<v Speaker 6>I might be wrong about that, but I mean that's right.

0:48:55.600 --> 0:48:58.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, when you're starting to the Google like is

0:48:58.760 --> 0:49:02.279
<v Speaker 3>my like, what's wrong with my relationship? Like, it's you know,

0:49:02.400 --> 0:49:05.960
<v Speaker 3>definitely cost for concerns. Although I love chat GIBT, I

0:49:06.000 --> 0:49:09.600
<v Speaker 3>hate how everything everybody hates fucking AI and chat GBT,

0:49:09.800 --> 0:49:12.120
<v Speaker 3>I think it's great. I think it's a great tool

0:49:12.160 --> 0:49:15.239
<v Speaker 3>and people need to you know, jump on the train

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:17.880
<v Speaker 3>before it leaves them.

0:49:18.040 --> 0:49:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Well. I think I think the thing people enjoy about

0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:24.360
<v Speaker 2>it is that it has some form of like it

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:31.959
<v Speaker 2>allows you, uh kind of like a free confidential perspective,

0:49:32.640 --> 0:49:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I suppose.

0:49:36.360 --> 0:49:38.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think people should be more concerned about

0:49:39.000 --> 0:49:43.759
<v Speaker 3>the energy that it's consuming and how our electric bill

0:49:43.880 --> 0:49:48.280
<v Speaker 3>is going up because the companies that own the AI

0:49:48.600 --> 0:49:51.920
<v Speaker 3>is not really paying their fair share. But also we

0:49:51.960 --> 0:49:55.239
<v Speaker 3>need to think about nuclear energy as well to kind

0:49:55.280 --> 0:49:56.560
<v Speaker 3>of help that.

0:49:57.440 --> 0:50:00.879
<v Speaker 2>My favorite thing about chatsheep Tea is that I can

0:50:00.960 --> 0:50:04.920
<v Speaker 2>use it to make images of Woody from toy story

0:50:05.000 --> 0:50:07.040
<v Speaker 2>making out with Winnie the Pooh, and then I can

0:50:07.080 --> 0:50:08.320
<v Speaker 2>print them out.

0:50:09.120 --> 0:50:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, there's a snake and mobbit, there's a

0:50:13.920 --> 0:50:18.000

<v Speaker 2>the universe. Man, Marry merry, Christmas Fish. I can't be

0:53:14.880 --> 0:53:18.200
<v Speaker 2>the first one to come up with that idea because

0:53:18.280 --> 0:53:21.200
<v Speaker 2>it's that classic like, oh, step bro, I'm stuck in

<v Speaker 2>the laundry machine thing. But Winnie the Pooh was doing

0:53:27.320 --> 0:53:29.600

0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:37.000

0:53:37.600 --> 0:53:40.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean kind of a lot? But what's new with that?

0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Have we spoken before?

0:53:44.120 --> 0:53:44.440
<v Speaker 1>We have?

0:53:44.520 --> 0:53:44.640

0:53:45.800 --> 0:53:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful? What's your name?

0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:49.640
<v Speaker 4>I've tried to get on for a couple of months now.

0:53:49.640 --> 0:53:51.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm Lauren, Lauren.

0:53:51.120 --> 0:53:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Nice to meet you, Lauren. What's going on with you?

0:53:52.719 --> 0:53:54.480
<v Speaker 2>How's how's how's existing?

0:53:56.160 --> 0:53:56.359
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:53:56.600 --> 0:53:59.879
<v Speaker 4>Existing? Is? It's all right? I mean, just got off work,

0:54:00.200 --> 0:54:01.200
<v Speaker 4>hanging out with my cat?

0:54:02.920 --> 0:54:07.239
<v Speaker 2>Very nice, very nice? Would you want to call in

0:54:07.239 --> 0:54:08.640
<v Speaker 2>today about Lauren?

0:54:11.080 --> 0:54:14.720
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I've kind of pigeonholed myself with my career.

0:54:14.719 --> 0:54:18.360
<v Speaker 4>But I'm also very, very young, so it's like, obviously

0:54:18.440 --> 0:54:21.520
<v Speaker 4>I didn't but it's my passion. But at the same time,

0:54:21.640 --> 0:54:24.239
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure that I want to continue to do it.

0:54:24.600 --> 0:54:26.600
<v Speaker 4>So I'm in a weird stand still with that.

0:54:27.800 --> 0:54:31.359
<v Speaker 5>Uh hold you, I'm nineteen, but.

0:54:31.320 --> 0:54:33.720
<v Speaker 4>I have five years of experience in this career field.

0:54:34.239 --> 0:54:35.040
<v Speaker 2>What is it.

0:54:36.480 --> 0:54:37.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm a cook.

0:54:39.120 --> 0:54:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what do you want to do?

0:54:45.120 --> 0:54:47.359
<v Speaker 4>Well, this is what I've always wanted to do. And

0:54:47.440 --> 0:54:50.320
<v Speaker 4>I got my first cook job when I was fourteen

0:54:50.360 --> 0:54:54.399
<v Speaker 4>because I started living on my own then. So I've

0:54:54.400 --> 0:54:56.480
<v Speaker 4>always wanted to do this, And I went to culinary school.

0:54:56.480 --> 0:54:59.439
<v Speaker 4>I ended up dropping out because of circumstances and moved

0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:04.800
<v Speaker 4>back home. But yeah, I've always wanted to be a teacher.

0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:08.279
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know if I have the bandwidth to

0:55:08.320 --> 0:55:09.600
<v Speaker 4>deal with children for that long.

0:55:10.440 --> 0:55:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it sounds like it sucks, frankly doing with

0:55:14.160 --> 0:55:15.000
<v Speaker 2>children for that long.

0:55:16.360 --> 0:55:16.480
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:55:17.360 --> 0:55:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what I mean? What's going on in the kitchen

0:55:19.800 --> 0:55:22.399
<v Speaker 2>these days? Is it? Are you in any like are

0:55:22.400 --> 0:55:25.080
<v Speaker 2>you in a lot of Gordon Ramsey situations? Or are

0:55:25.120 --> 0:55:29.120
<v Speaker 2>you just like, is it this is a kitchen too hot?

0:55:29.560 --> 0:55:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Is it? Is it literally you cannot stand the heat

0:55:32.160 --> 0:55:34.480
<v Speaker 2>so you must get out of the kitchen or a

0:55:34.520 --> 0:55:35.399
<v Speaker 2>metaphoric right.

0:55:35.360 --> 0:55:40.239
<v Speaker 4>Bobby Flay style. Well, I don't work in like a

0:55:40.320 --> 0:55:44.200
<v Speaker 4>traditional kitchen, so I'm not in restaurant service. It's like

0:55:44.239 --> 0:55:46.960
<v Speaker 4>a food production company. It's kind of like factor, but

0:55:47.040 --> 0:55:54.160
<v Speaker 4>it's like local mm hmm, so it's not that pressing.

0:55:54.320 --> 0:55:55.880
<v Speaker 4>But the owners got.

0:55:55.640 --> 0:55:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Some issues and it's this whole thing.

0:55:57.200 --> 0:55:59.080
<v Speaker 3>But what can you do?

0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:10.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm just a right, yeah, Well let's see, so you

0:56:10.840 --> 0:56:13.520
<v Speaker 5>want to what did you did you say already what

0:56:13.560 --> 0:56:14.720
<v Speaker 5>you wanted to pivot into.

0:56:16.440 --> 0:56:19.400
<v Speaker 4>I was thinking about teaching, but teaching I really do

0:56:19.560 --> 0:56:21.400
<v Speaker 4>enjoy cooking. It's my passion.

0:56:22.000 --> 0:56:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, why wait? What if you taught cooking?

0:56:26.400 --> 0:56:28.600
<v Speaker 4>That's I've been thinking that. I was like, oh, I

0:56:28.600 --> 0:56:33.879
<v Speaker 4>should just do that. But that's I hated almost every

0:56:33.880 --> 0:56:36.040
<v Speaker 4>single one of my culinary teachers. They're kind of droop.

0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:37.760
<v Speaker 4>So I don't want to be that person.

0:56:38.320 --> 0:56:40.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to be. That's a good reason to

0:56:40.440 --> 0:56:43.680
<v Speaker 2>be a culinary teacher. I'm serious. That's a good reason.

0:56:43.840 --> 0:56:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Is if everyone or if you are in a thing

0:56:46.440 --> 0:56:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, everyone who does this is a fucking asshole,

0:56:49.480 --> 0:56:51.319
<v Speaker 2>it's a good reason to want to do it because

0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:53.080
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh, I could do it and then not

0:56:53.480 --> 0:56:56.919
<v Speaker 2>be an asshole, right.

0:56:57.120 --> 0:56:59.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I just I've always wanted to be a

0:56:59.080 --> 0:57:02.760
<v Speaker 4>teacher or something in that sense where I can talk

0:57:02.800 --> 0:57:04.799
<v Speaker 4>to people and like help them out, because I went

0:57:04.840 --> 0:57:07.480
<v Speaker 4>through a lot when I was younger, so I always

0:57:07.520 --> 0:57:10.839
<v Speaker 4>wanted to help people in that sense because I went

0:57:10.840 --> 0:57:13.319
<v Speaker 4>through it alone, and that was dog shit.

0:57:17.960 --> 0:57:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, why were okay, why were your culinary teachers' assholes?

0:57:25.640 --> 0:57:26.560
<v Speaker 2>What was wrong with them?

0:57:28.440 --> 0:57:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:31.800
<v Speaker 4>I went to a school in Utah. I'm originally from

0:57:32.640 --> 0:57:35.000
<v Speaker 4>I grew up in Idaho, and I went down to

0:57:35.120 --> 0:57:36.880
<v Speaker 4>Utah and.

0:57:38.320 --> 0:57:38.800
<v Speaker 1>All of my.

0:57:38.800 --> 0:57:41.560
<v Speaker 4>Classmates were just they had zero experience, and I guess

0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:43.600
<v Speaker 4>that's why you go to school. But they treated me

0:57:43.800 --> 0:57:46.360
<v Speaker 4>like that. And I had already been in this career

0:57:46.360 --> 0:57:48.880
<v Speaker 4>for four years and I didn't really learn anything, and

0:57:48.880 --> 0:57:50.480
<v Speaker 4>they weren't trying to help me. And I was like,

0:57:50.480 --> 0:57:53.240
<v Speaker 4>well this sucks because I just spent all this money

0:57:53.240 --> 0:57:55.480
<v Speaker 4>to go here and I got pretty much nothing out

0:57:55.520 --> 0:57:55.760
<v Speaker 4>of it.

0:57:57.840 --> 0:58:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, wait, but what like they didn't want to help you?

0:58:01.240 --> 0:58:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Like they weren't. It wasn't like them them as a people,

0:58:05.640 --> 0:58:08.280
<v Speaker 2>like like could you, I mean, could you go become

0:58:08.360 --> 0:58:10.280
<v Speaker 2>a culinary teacher person?

0:58:12.120 --> 0:58:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:58:12.360 --> 0:58:16.200
<v Speaker 4>I probably could. I would need like teaching certifications and

0:58:16.240 --> 0:58:21.160
<v Speaker 4>then finding a place in this really finding somewhere to work.

0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:23.880
<v Speaker 4>And yeah you have to go to like actual college.

0:58:23.880 --> 0:58:27.520
<v Speaker 4>And I've always I've never wanted to go to courge.

0:58:28.000 --> 0:58:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't you what? I think? You just like a I thought,

0:58:31.560 --> 0:58:32.480
<v Speaker 2>you just need a knife.

0:58:35.400 --> 0:58:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I wish, oh, I would already be doing that if

0:58:38.120 --> 0:58:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that's all I needed.

0:58:39.320 --> 0:58:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't you Well, I don't know what the it's. It's

0:58:41.880 --> 0:58:46.800
<v Speaker 2>not like you're teaching heart surgery. Can't you just what's

0:58:46.800 --> 0:58:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the difference this? What is the difference between you have

0:58:50.400 --> 0:58:52.880
<v Speaker 2>like a knife and you know how to make food

0:58:53.960 --> 0:58:57.280
<v Speaker 2>and you just go on like Airbnb experience to make

0:58:57.400 --> 0:59:02.240
<v Speaker 2>fucking cooking classes or whatever? Verse is like an accredation.

0:59:03.560 --> 0:59:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm gonna go on a rant if that's

0:59:06.080 --> 0:59:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Is that okay with you? I think? And I okay?

0:59:10.200 --> 0:59:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I think accredation is it's a fucked up system, even

0:59:17.760 --> 0:59:18.960
<v Speaker 2>for doctors.

0:59:19.240 --> 0:59:20.800
<v Speaker 5>You know, like.

0:59:22.440 --> 0:59:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Who who gives? Who's who bestows? I don't really mean

0:59:26.440 --> 0:59:31.280
<v Speaker 2>any of this, but maybe I do the who bestows accredation?

0:59:32.560 --> 0:59:36.600
<v Speaker 4>Who who makes you qualified to do open heart surgery?

0:59:37.680 --> 0:59:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Exactly? What? Look if you can do it, Look, if

0:59:41.880 --> 0:59:43.520
<v Speaker 2>you can do it, you can do it. If you can't,

0:59:43.560 --> 0:59:46.480
<v Speaker 2>you can't, Right, I don't. I don't need some fucking

0:59:47.240 --> 0:59:50.280
<v Speaker 2>douchebag to tell me whether or not I can't agree exactly.

0:59:50.440 --> 0:59:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm serious, and listen, I mean I'm actually not serious

0:59:53.960 --> 0:59:55.640
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to open heart surgery. But I'm a

0:59:55.640 --> 0:59:58.360
<v Speaker 2>little serious actually, actually no, I'm a little serious when

0:59:58.400 --> 0:59:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it comes to open heart surgery. Like if there's some

1:00:00.160 --> 1:00:05.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of like rain a man like I learned how

1:00:05.320 --> 1:00:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to do surgery on YouTube, guy like, uh, well let

1:00:11.080 --> 1:00:16.320
<v Speaker 2>him do it. Who cares? You know what? All systems

1:00:16.360 --> 1:00:23.200
<v Speaker 2>are made up? But I mean especially Yeah, that's why. Yeah,

1:00:23.200 --> 1:00:24.880
<v Speaker 2>that's why I don't think you should need a degree

1:00:24.880 --> 1:00:26.240
<v Speaker 2>to be a doctor. I think you just be able

1:00:26.280 --> 1:00:28.480
<v Speaker 2>to do it. I think if you, I think if

1:00:28.520 --> 1:00:34.800
<v Speaker 2>you watch YouTube videos about how this stuff works, because

1:00:34.800 --> 1:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>the knowledge is objective, the the knowledge is objective. The

1:00:39.040 --> 1:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>accredation is the subjective part of it. You know, Like

1:00:45.560 --> 1:00:49.120
<v Speaker 2>you like you know how to cook things. You could

1:00:49.200 --> 1:00:54.440
<v Speaker 2>probably teach people how to cook things. Fire makes shit

1:00:54.640 --> 1:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>hot enough for you to eat it, whether you have

1:00:58.720 --> 1:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>an accredation for something or not. So why don't you

1:01:01.560 --> 1:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>just do it? I don't know.

1:01:05.160 --> 1:01:08.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, like I could teach cooking and not

1:01:08.600 --> 1:01:11.120
<v Speaker 4>go to like college to get a teaching degree and

1:01:11.160 --> 1:01:13.920
<v Speaker 4>do that. But it wouldn't be like in a school setting,

1:01:14.240 --> 1:01:17.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, it would just be like, Hey, I'll come

1:01:17.160 --> 1:01:19.120
<v Speaker 4>to your house and teach you and your husband how

1:01:19.120 --> 1:01:22.560
<v Speaker 4>to cook, be strogan Off or something that.

1:01:22.600 --> 1:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Sounds awesome, that sounds great, Well start your own school

1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and then be like, well, fuck you, you're not fucking accredited.

1:01:32.440 --> 1:01:32.960
<v Speaker 2>What do you know?

1:01:33.600 --> 1:01:36.520
