1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: What's up man? How you doing.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good yourself.

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: You know, I am trying my best. I am having

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: new epiphanies about life every single day, some of them

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: contradicting each other. Sometimes it feels like, you know, sometimes

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I have like a life epiphany, and

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: then tomorrow I have the opposite one. In the day

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: after that, I have the original one. And it's like

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm going in complete circles. But maybe maybe I'm like

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: going in circles. I'm trying to, like with words describe

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: how I see this visually, Like you know, I'm like

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: going in circles, but the circles are moving a little

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: bit to the right every time, So it's like a

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: loop that event Yeah, it's like a loop that just

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: event that goes eventually moves forward in that way. You know,

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: you kind of visualize what I'm talking about.

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have different epiphanies every single day, so the

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: light is always seeming to throw a little bit of

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: a loop at you.

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: I see that you are not a plus one area code.

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: Where are you calling from?

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: I'm calling from Australia. I moved to Australia about three

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 2: years ago.

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,080

Speaker 1: Cool. Where and where in Australia did you move?

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: I moved to Sydney, so one of the most expensive cities.

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: In the world.

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: And why did you move from Why did you move

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: from Kansas City, which is not one of the most

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: expensive cities in the world to sid.

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: So I'm actually like one of your other callers that

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: called it like a like probably like ten podcasts ago

34
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: get the whole cool work steme and I ended up

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: in Alaster and then I just started traveling around the

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: you asked working at different places, different resorts, and that

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: led me to eventually you know then like a few

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: other people on here and been like, oh, I want

39
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 2: to go to Australia. So I ended up in Australia.

40
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: I'm a chef, so I've been cooking for about three

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: years out here.

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Cool. Very cool. You said you were like one of

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: the other callers that did the what thing.

44
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: So you know the caller who went up to what

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: is that Yellowstone and he was just working out there

46
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: and yeah, so that same website. I went and got

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: a job off when I was twenty one, so I'm

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: well twenty seven, so I'm thirty four and now and

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: I've been doing the whole traveling thinking about eight years.

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: Now, how's that going for you? Because I think a

51
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: lot about what a fully nomadic life would be like,

52
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: and I've been in periods of time in my life

53
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: in which I felt very nomadic, and I'm curious, eight years,

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: how does that work out for you? How are you

55
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: feeling about it?

56
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, you kind of uh, you really get used

57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: to traveling and just keeping the minimum amount of stuff.

58
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: Like my whole life up until these last three years

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: could fit in three or four suitcases and I would

60
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: just get up and go. I'm driven across the US,

61
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: like four times I used to live in Oregon, drove

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: down to Florida, like the very tip of Florida, that

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: work down there. You really, uh, you really get to

64
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: know outside of yourself that a lot of people won't

65
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: know because they're never alone so much and celebrating holidays

66
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. You really got to grow a

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: family outside of your family.

68
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: Do you have a family.

69
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: I actually just found out my girlfriend and here in Australia,

70
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:04,920

Speaker 2: Yeah? We are? Wait so I actually it was a

74
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: whole spill. I just quit my job last week and

00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: I have another job lined up, and uh, pretty much

Speaker 2: We're headed up to Balina. I don't know if you

81
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 2: made it up to like the Byron Bay, Ballina area

82
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 2: while you were here.

83
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: No, but I heard about Byron Bays. That's like where

84
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: all the no, I'm thinking of Bondi Beach, that's where

85
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: all the like tours go to die.

86
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Byron Bay is also another popular spot. It's

87
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: where Chris employd and Hugh Jackman, they all live out there.

88
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: And so this, uh, this lovely lady. Did you meet

89
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: her in Australia?

90
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we actually met on the apps. I

91
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: know a lot of people have a lot of trouble

92
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: about meeting people on the apps, but it's it's more

93
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: of a persistence game and a numbers game than it

94
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: is you know, finding somebody right away. You know how

95
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: many the apps for a long time?

96
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: How many appdates did you go on until you met

97
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: your girlfriends.

98
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: Uh whoosh, Jesus, probably over one hundred easily over wow?

99
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: Really over one hundred?

100
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, But I'm I'm an old man, so

101
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: I've been using them. It's pretty much they came out

102
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: and I've been in different cities.

103
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: And what was it about this one that made it

104
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: different from the other one hundred?

105
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: She was just pretty awesome. Like, honestly, all the girl

106
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: all the app dates that I've been on in Australia

107
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: have been pretty fruitful, like updated somebody that I've pretty

108
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: much met every single time. But she was she was

109
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 2: just different man, Like I didn't have to be stone

110
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: to be around her and like all that stuff. So

111
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: it just kind of really worked out when I first

112
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: met her. We met on Australia Day and we ended

113
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: up hanging out for like six and a half hours.

114
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: Now, what is Australia Date? You guys don't just have

115
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: like Hinge and Tinder.

116
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 2: Australia Day. It's like, uh, it's a holiday. So Australia

117
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: Day is like Independence Day or like Columbus Day.

118
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh oh oh wait you met up on

119
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: Australia Day. Yeah, okay, I thought you said you met

120
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: her on a website called Australia Date.

121
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: No, we we actually met on Hinge.

122
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Okay you understand, Okay, you understand. You understand where that

123
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: misunderstanding came from, right, Yeah, for sure, I was like, what,

124
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: I guess there's a website where you can just date Australian.

125
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: What was the other The other thing you said is

126
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: you said that you felt like you had to be

127
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: high to be around some of these people. Tell me

128
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: more about that.

129
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: Well, I used to actually this year stop smoking weed

130
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: as well. So, uh, I was just stoned all the time, man,

131
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: and like just being around people, and I felt like

132
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: that wasn't the only way I could communicate with people

133
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: because I was constantly stoned, and maybe nobody would like

134
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: me if I was constantly stoned. And yeah, the first

135
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: time I was ever around her, I just wasn't stoned,

136
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: and it was it was a real eye opener. It

137
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: was an epissan if you, like you said where I

138
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: was like, okay, I can do this, m m. Yeah.

139
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: Was as anxious?

140
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

141
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

142
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: Was it was it that you just kind of felt

143
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: a constant state of anxiety and weed was like the

144
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: only way to get past it.

145
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And actually, uh, once I stopped smoking and I

146
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 2: got away from the weed. Actually the anxiety actually went down.

147
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the weave.

148
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: Was actually making me really paranoid, at which I didn't

149
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: notice because you know, I'm waking up smoking three or

150
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 2: four bulls, going to work on my breaks, smoke some more,

151
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: smoke some more before I go to sleep. So I

152
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: was just like in constant marijuana hayes.

153
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm hm. Yes, what what made you want to quit? Recently?

154
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: I ran a marathon. I ran a marathon, and uh,

155
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: in order to prepare for the marathon, I just cut back,

156
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: cut back to back, and I, uh, before I had

157

Speaker 2: a kate, This is before I knew I was having

158
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,320

00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: my kid or you know, be a stoner. I don't

160
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: care about like smoking weed every so often or whatever

161
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: like that, but like I just didn't want to be

162
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: like a stone dad. M So it all worked out, Yeah,

163
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: it was. It was. It was more so that I

164
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 2: was smoking nicotine with the marijuana, and I wanted to

165
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: play it away from that. So yeah, yeah, exactly, I

166
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: wanted to get away from that. I always told myself

167
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 2: I wouldn't smoke nicotine. But you know, we do things

168
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: in life that we said we wouldn't do.

169
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: How long was your weed career prior to.

170
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: Quit, probably like thirteen years?

171
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, every day?

172
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: Initially, no, but once so I moved out to Oregon

173
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: when I was about twenty three, and the weed is

174
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: so cheap out there and it's so good that you know,

175
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: it just kind of let me down a rabbit hole

176
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: and smoking more and more blah blah blah. So it's

177
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: been it's been quite a journey.

178
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

179
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

180
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: The part about anxietyety like you smoke weed to alleviate anxiety,

181
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: but then you find that this weird converse way. It's

182
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: like you get high and then you get more anxious

183
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: and more parentally exactly. But and I and I wonder,

184
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: and again this is not the Andrew Huberman podcast, but

185
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: I do wonder, is like, is weed making me is

186
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: like a self fulfilling prophecy, where like weed makes me

187
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: anxious on the days that I am not smoking as well.

188
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I was fine in too. And it

189
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 2: is because they say, like marijuana is an addictive and

190
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: that was like in you know, the nineteen seventies where

191
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: the weed wasn't thirty six percent and thc and stuff

192
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 2: like that, and you know, it's just a lot more accessible,

193
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: a lot more open. It's not what it used to be.

194
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: So I think as it becomes stronger, it does become

195
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: more addictive, especially you're young and you're using. I definitely

196
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: think that your body can get like dependent on having that.

197
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: It may not be you know, uh, as physically of

198
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: a bad addiction as like heroin or other opie images

199
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: stuff like that, but like the mental addiction is what

200
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: I think gets a lot of people in strays, keeps

201
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: on from quitting and stuff like that, because it is.

202
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: It was very hard, and a large part of it,

203
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: like I told you, was the nicotine for me. And

204
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: then you're smoking blunts and stuff like that, then you're

205
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: definitely getting like that constant like nicotine high to where

206
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: you're not even noticing, and uh, it would be definitely

207
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: a lot harder for you to quit.

208
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm hmm. Have you replaced it with anything else,

209
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: whether it's something negative or positive.

210
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: Well, honestly, I just been focusing on life, being able

211
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 2: to run longer, like I said, I've been during marathon.

212
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: So this year I'm training for an iron Man and

213
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: just stuff like that trying to keep my body busy,

214
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: trying to keep my mind busy. It's like you said,

215
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: with masturvation, as long as you're out of the house,

216
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 2: you're not thinking about it.

217
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: I love the fuck it. I love the things. I

218
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: love the things that I just fucking say on this podcast,

219
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: not really really not registering that anyone actually hears them.

220
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: And then and then someone says, remember when you said

221
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: that you should just be out of the house as

222
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: much as you can so you don't masturbate as much,

223
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, yeah, you really did say that

224
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, and you know, and I fully stand

225
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: by it. I stand by it a lot because it's true.

226
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: Whenever I'm in the house, you know, it's uh, it's

227
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: a problem. But I don't do it outside because that's

228
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: a weak. Yeah. I think I would. I'd like to

229
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: think even if I'd like to think, even if it

230
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: wasn't illegal, I still wouldn't do it outside. But I

231
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: don't know. Who knows what life is like. It might

232
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: be kind. I mean, people do it, people definitely, even

233
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: though it's illegal, People definitely do it. People people do it.

234
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: I saw a guy jacking off on Venice Beach once,

235
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: and you know what the crazy thing is is nobody cared.

236
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: Nobody cared at all because it's what they expect. It's

237
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: like when you see it's like if when you're walking

238
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: through New York and you're on the subway, if you

239

Speaker 2: When I was twenty one, I actually smoked a shit

263
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: ton of weed one night and I ended up getting

264
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: on a grade Hound and moving to Order and.

265
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960

00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: So you just.

267
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: Got really like what you're in your mom's house or

00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: you're where are you like? And you just get really

269
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: hot outside that night to move.

00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I'm I'm a hot box in the car

271
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: with my friend. We probably smoked like five or six months.

272
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: And I get home and it's like an Alexati experience

273
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't know, I can't be here anymore.

274
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: I't my life is going to pass me by if

275
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't leave right now. So I packed the backpack

276
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: full of clothes, drove down to the Greyhound station and

277
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: bought a ticket to Organ because I was supposed to

278
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: go with an ex girlfriend and we got broken up.

279
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, no, I don't want to stay

280
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: in Kansas City. I'm going anyway.

281
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

282
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: And I didn't know anybody. I didn't have a plan

283
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: or anything like that. I ended up surviving out there

284
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: for eight months before I had to go home. My

285
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 2: sister told me, like, you could say, at my house

286
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 2: for three months for free, or you can go back

287
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 2: out to Oregon. And yeah, I ended up taking that

288
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: three months learning to cook at waffle house, and then

289
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: I went back out to Oregon and I ended up

290
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: getting a job in six days working in the kitchen.

291
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: So it was off to the races after.

292
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: Then the first those first eight months that you were

293
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,919

00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: that's it.

296
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had two hundred and eighty dollars in my pocket.

297
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: I actually I had like couldn't cocted a plan on

00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: where somebody will let me crash on their couch. And yeah,

304
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened. One of the chicks on the bus,

305
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: she's like, you look extremely young. I know you're coming

306
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: out here to survive and try to figure it out.

307
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: But if you ever need a place to stay, there's

308
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: my number and give me a call. I stayed one

309
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: night in the hotel, gave her a call, and then

310
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: she let me crash on her couch for about two

311
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: months until I got on my feet.

312
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: You met a woman on the Greyhound bus to Oregon

313
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,920

362
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: back out to Oregon and beginning my journey as a chef.

363
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: What did that look like? Beginning your journey as a chef?

364
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: By the way, just so you know, Ron, I don't

365
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: know what your plans are for tonight, but I'm fully

366
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: prepared for this entire podcast episode of your life because

367
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by you.

368
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 2: So yeah, thank you loud, thank you. Aud So, after

369
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: I got back, like I told you, I had to

370
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 2: start cooking at the waffle house. I know you're from

371
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: like the Northeast area. I don't know if you've been

372
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: to a waffle house.

373
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I used to. They have in Georgia where

374
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: I was a lot.

375
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, So I was working there, working nights, and

376
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: I told my sister while I had been out in Oregon,

377
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: I had heard chefs that were, you know, making thirteen

378
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: fourteen dollars an hour at the time, I'm like, that's

379
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: good money. So I told my sister teach me how

380
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: to cook. And then when I got back to Oregon,

381
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: I was working at a barbecue joint. It wasn't really fulfilling,

382
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: so I started working at a restaurant called Goostops. It's

383
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: closed now. It was a German spot. I had no

384
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: knowledge of them and food anything of the sorts. But

385
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: my chef, she uh looked at me and she's like,

386
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 2: you know, normally only hired people with a culinary degree,

387
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 2: but you see, you got a little bit of cooking experience.

388
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: You seem like you got your head on your shoulders.

389
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 2: So I'm going to give you a trial. And I

390
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: went in there and I just you know, killed. It

391
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: followed everything and everybody was settling me. H went straight

392
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 2: to the line. I wasn't doing dishes, I wasn't doing prep.

393
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 2: I was right on the line with the rest of

394
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: the other chefs and just trial by fire and it

395
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: was u it was an experience. H first night, I

396
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: sliced my hand open, and uh, I still had to

397
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: finish another six hours of putting my hand underneath the

398
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: salamander and working and stuff like that. So like it

399
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: was it. It was a intense first day and just

400
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: that first day made me fall in love with working

401
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: in the kitchen. It was a bunch of pirates and

402
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: you know, people just yelling and just pure chaos, like

403
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: this is this is it? This is for me?

404
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: Fuck you, fuck you? And that was And you said

405
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: that was eight years ago.

406
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: That was two thousand and fourteen, So about ten years ago.

407
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: Now, wow, And how long are you in Oregon after that?

408
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: After you start working there?

409
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: So I lived in Oregon for another seven years. I

410
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: ended up I ended up cooking breakfast and stuff, had

411
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: a number of notable joints around there. And then me

412
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 2: and my brother we were being roommates. He has been

413
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: a piece of shit, so I ended up moving her out.

414
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 2: I ended up finding the website cool Works, and uh,

415
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 2: I didn't really like where my life was going at

416
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 2: the time. You know, I had got this travel bug.

417
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: It's where I'm like, Okay, I made it in Portland,

418
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: let's see if I can do it somewhere else. So uh,

419
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 2: down that website and I ended up applying to go

420
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: to Alaska and that was an amazing trip in itself.

421
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: Like I was out there for about six months, living, working,

422
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: and eating all for free. So yeah, did that. Then

423
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: I came back to Oregon just didn't feel right after

424
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: I had left.

425
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: So you said, I'm sorry. You said in in uh,

426
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: in Oregon it didn't feel right, or in Alaska didn't

427
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: feel right.

428
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: In Oregon. After I came back from Alaska, I still

429
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: had this like deep burning passion to go out and

430
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: travel and you know, see more of the world. Uh

431
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: So I ended up taking a job in Wyoming, and

432
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: that was an experience in myself. I actually got to

433
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: work with a lot of celebrities and I cook that

434
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 2: one of the fanciest resorts in the world, and just

435
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: like really learning what it meant to be a chef,

436
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: not just cooking one cuisine and all that stuff. I

437
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: got to work in a French kitchen underneath a very

438
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: good chef and while being able to elevate all of

439
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: my skills and stuff like that.

440
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: So you, uh, well, first of all, I just want

441
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: to say, it's the fact that you spent seven years

442
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: in Oregon is pretty crazy, because whatever was in that

443
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: weed that night just fucking changed the entire course of

444
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: your life. Like that's that's amazing. I really, I just

445
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: and you initially picked that place because you were gonna

446
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: go there with the next girlfriends.

447
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And one night.

448
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: I love I love it. You're just one night. You're

449
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: just like, dude, fuck this, I'm not waiting anymore. I'm

450
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: fucking going tonight. So cool. Yeah, and then you just

451
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: fucking make it happen. Do you still keep in contact

452
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: at all with the lady who's couch just left on?

453
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 1: Or is she gone?

454
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: Uh Na? We haven't talked in years, but you know,

455
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: I still send her like the random happy days for

456
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: message and stuff like that, and her and her and

457
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: the chick that she was day and they actually ended

458
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 2: up breaking up and she just had her ex girlfriend

459
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: just had a baby, So I congratulated her on all

460
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: that stuff. So I made sure they knew that they

461
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: were appreciated. I ended up going back after I got

462
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: a job and moved out, and ended up giving them

463
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: like four or five hundred dollars just to say thank you. Cool. Yeah,

464
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: they they they they really saved me. I could have

465
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: been somewhere out on the street and really struggling, but

466
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: you know, they gave me a chance, and every opportunity

467
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: I've gotten while I've been on this journey, I've just

468
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: made the best of it and taking a chance. That's

469
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: really all it took.

470
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get back to your

471
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: wyomic adventure. But first I have a I have a

472
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: question for you. If someone is listening to this right

473
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 1: now and they're inspired by your your bold your boldness, okay,

474
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: and they were to maybe do a bold move as

475
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: you did, is there anything that you feel like you

476
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: learned from your your bold move that you would tell

477
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: somebody who's thinking of doing something similar.

478
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: Well, I learned this while I was in the military,

479
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: went to food camp and stuff like that. If you're comfortable,

480
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: you're probably doing it wrong. If you're uncomfortable, you're growing,

481
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: you're changing. You know, you're you're learning how to work

482
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: in a new environment. So my advice to anybody would

483
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: be to just stay open minded. Like if you're in

484
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: a new city, you know, you're somewhere that you're you're

485
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: doing something that you normally wouldn't be doing. Uh, just

486
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: stay open minded, you know, and keep your mind on

487
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: the goal. If the goal is just to get out

488
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: of your city and be somewhere else, fall into that. Uh,

489
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: don't don't be looking back in the past and say, oh,

490
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: I missed this about home, blah blah blah, because at

491
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: the end of the day you put yourself in this position,

492
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: you laugh, you wanted to do this. Now that you're here,

493
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: we live in it.

494
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: The I heard something I know. You know, I feel

495
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: dumb because I heard this expression today and I didn't

496
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: realize and it's got to be a popular expression. But

497
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: the grass is greener where you water it. So if

498
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: that was the choice, you know, you either because you

499
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: go to Oregon and you're like, I should have stayed

500
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: back in ke because what's going on there? But if

501
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: you stay in Kansas City, go oh, what could have

502
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: been an Oregon? And it's like, you know whatever, exactly

503
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: as you said, It's like you chose to do the thing. So,

504
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, just fucking leaning to what every shows. I suppose.

505
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: So how did you go? How'd you get this job

Speaker 2: Yeah, my most recent job.

625
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: What was it that you hated about it?

626
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 2: Uh? Well, like so like I've never I've been lucky

627
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: enough to never been around like really abusive chefs, like

628
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: Turgole abusive chefs and stuff like that, and this guy

629
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 2: was just like the absolute worst. And I've worked for

630
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: better chefs who are who have their head on their

631
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 2: shoulders way more. So I just couldn't do it. It wasn't

632
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 2: it wasn't conducive to me learning and growing. M hm.

633
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: And where'd you go right after you quit that?

634
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going up to a kitchen up in Iron Bay.

635
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 2: So that started my new job. Yeah, I haven't started

636
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 2: my new job. I'm kind of on a break right now.

637
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: What are you doing with your break?

638
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: We are getting ready to celebrate Christmas is Christmas Eve today,

639
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: so we are finishing up all of our dishes for

640
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: tomorrow and getting ready to drive down to Canberra, the

641
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: capital of Australia.

642
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: When you first came to Australia, I assume that was

643
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: a cool works thing.

644
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 2: Oh no, so actually I actually applied to come out

645
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: here on a work on holiday visa in twenty nineteen,

646
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 2: and then obviously the entire world shut down. So I

647
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: was out in Cali seeing a Kanye westconcert. I ended

648
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 2: up getting robbed that night. The next morning, when I

649
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: woke up, I had my visa for Australia approves. Just

650
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: kind of told my job out in Wyoming because I'm

651
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: back out in Wyoming at this point, Hey man, at

652
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: the beginning of twenty twenty two, I'm gonna be taking

653
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: a dive and moving to Australia.

654
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: That's sick. Damn. Yeah, you live a cool life. I'm

655
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: very I'm very inspired talking to you. I've inspired that.

656
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm inspired by a few things. Is that you just

657
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: really seem like a guy who won't settle for being

658
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: unhappy or being you know, comfortable in a bad way,

659
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: even even the fact that it took you one hundred

660
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: plus dates to find a woman you really wanted to

661
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: start a life with and fucking you know, going so

662
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: boldly to Oregon on a whim him and uh, sticking

663
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: it out through difficult jobs, but in finding joy within

664
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: the difficulty. It's it's really cool. I really appreciate the

665
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: way that you look at and live your life.

666
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's all life really is. Like, I'm

667
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 2: not a persistent guy when it comes to dating. That's

668
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 2: why I've had so many dates. If you don't seem interested,

669
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 2: then I'm not interested. So I think a lot of

670
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 2: people they kind of they get too involved with one

671
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: person who doesn't seem interested with them when they could

672
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 2: just move on to the next person.

673
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, that seems to be the better strategy instead of

674
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: trying to let you know, you know what, you know

675
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: what it is. I I it's so funny. I was

676
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: talking to my friend's girlfriend about this, Like anytime you're

677
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 1: like analyzing a text that someone sent you, or like

678
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: you're showing your friends like what does what does this

679
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 1: guy mean? Or what does this girl mean? What? Really?

680
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: I think what is really going on is like you

681
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: in your gut like know what they mean, and you're

682
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: like begging your friends and begging your ego for any

683
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: interpretation that is not what your gut knows they mean.

684
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: Because you're what your gut knows they mean. You don't

685
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: like you know, but it's it's way easier to just

686
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, charge it to the game and keep going.

687
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I did for a while. I was

688
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 2: like an old Inns game One Life and you're out,

689
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: Sorry to work for me. Maybe that that I passed

690
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 2: up a lot of good people, But at the end

691
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: of the day, I'm happy with the person that I'm with.

692
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: That's wonderful.

693
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 3: Man.

694
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: It just takes a lot of trial there. And honestly,

695
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't want to date in my twenties.

696
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 2: I put that on the back end and just really

697
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 2: went and traveled and saw the world and new experiences

698
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: and met people and oh that good stuff. I think

699
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 2: that's what you really should be doing. I'm actually envious

700
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 2: of you with your whole podcast and stuff like that.

701
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 2: The fact that you are able to just do something

702
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: you really love and make money from it.

703
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: Fuck. Man, Yeah, you're inspiring me because I I, well,

704
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: it's uh here, I mean, here's where I'm at when

705
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: my life is. Like I just I've went on like

706
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: three tours and it was like so cool to get

707
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: to see I really do I fucking really in my core.

708
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: In my core is a guy who like fucking loves

709
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: life and loves traveling and loves talking to people. And

710
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: I get very disconnected from that core because of like

711
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: depression and fall and uh just problems and things and

712
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: this long periods of time. I feel very disconnected with

713
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: that guy in my core that like loves life and people.

714
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: And then uh, and then something just comes where like

715
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: I awake and I'm like, well, wait a minute, I

716
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: wanna I actually I like things. I want to go out,

717
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: I want to see the world. I'm gonna die all

718
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: this stuff. But then I don't know. I get there's

719
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:33,720
Speaker 1: a lot to enjoy about domestic life, like having clean

720
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: laundry and uh yeah, going to the gym regularly and

721
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: eating salmon and all that stuff, and I'm like, I

722
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: wanna ultimately live a life where I can eat salmon

723
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: and go to Australia randomly. But I don't know. It's

724
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: it's used to be a very like adventure has always

725
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: been a very core tenant of my life. But it's hard,

726
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 1: especially when you do it alone. It's really hard because

727
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: sometimes when you go somewhere alone and you stay at

728
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: a on some random guy this couch that you met

729
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: on the internet, you get into these situations where you're like, uh, well, one,

730
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: when you go alone, you experience like really deep fucking

731
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: melancholy and sadness. Oh my god, I'm lone's fun yeah,

732
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: just loneliness, and you're like, I like, I was in

733
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: Thailand and I was at a McDonald's by myself, crying

734
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: at night, and I was like, I'm gonna cry, like

735
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm twenty six crying alone in a McDonald's in Thailand,

736
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: which in the moment is it feels really pathetic, but

737
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: then looking back on it, I'm like, like, when i'm

738
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, forty, and I have kids or whatever, I'm

739
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh that was there was something poetic

740
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: about crying alone in that McDonald's. I'm like, I'm glad

741
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: that sucked in the moment, but I'm glad I did that.

742
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: Like there's so you get to kind of be in

743
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: this poetic melancholy sadness. But then also there's really high

744
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: highs where you meet some person at a thing and

745
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: then you're at this thing and you're whatever, and you're like, oh,

746
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 1: how the fuck did this even happen? This is crazy,

747
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 1: this is amazing, Like oh my god, I'm like living

748
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: like Walter Midty, like life is a movie kind of shit.

749
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: But you got to go through the the melancholyly to

750
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: get there. I'm really with you, I really think, especially

751
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: if you've if you're someone who's never left the country before,

752
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: never done anything like that, you know you really got to.

753
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: But right now I'm like, I gotta I gotta lose

754
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: fifty pounds and eat salmon and stuff. What were you

755
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: gonna say?

756
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: Wow, go ahead. When I was in Peru, I actually

757
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 2: experienced a lot of this you're talking about, like been

758
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 2: somewhere and just crying stuff in my face, like just

759
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 2: being a streaming lonely. But while I was in Peru,

760
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: I just took the time to really work out every

761
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 2: single day outside stuff like that. Calisthetics is amazing. You

762
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 2: don't have to go to the gym. You can buy

763
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 2: stuff at home where you're just doing push ups, doing

764
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 2: squats and all this stuff like that to where you

765
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 2: you know, I used to do one hundred push ups

766
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 2: every single day.

767
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: Of course you do.

768
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: And that just kind of helped me stay focused and

769
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 2: stay on the grind. I know weight loss. I struggle

770
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 2: with weight gain. I'm extremely skinny and that really bothers me.

771
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 2: I wish I could gain weight easy. So I definitely

772
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 2: recognize you having a problem with your weight and wanting

773
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 2: to do something about it. You just have to kind

774
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 2: of stay on the path.

775
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I could do it while I was

776
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: on tour, and it's like, I really just can't. But

777
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,480

00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: it's it's good. It's good problems to have, you know, Well,

783
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: We shall end this with the future of Ron's life.

784
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 2: Uh I am. I am extremely nervous, obviously, like every

785
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 2: parent would be. Uh. I think it'll be good. I'm

786
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 2: moving away from a job that was making me unhappy

787
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 2: and moving somewhere else. It's kind of like lit a

788
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 2: fire in the treat get out of the kitchen and

789
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 2: do something that's a little bit more family friendly. So

790
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 2: that's what I'm trying to do, honest, to maybe move

791
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: into something different that I could spend time with my

792
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 2: girlfriend and my future child.

793
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: What's what's on your mind? What are you thinking?

794
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 2: Well, I was thinking of electricians, but I might just

795
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 2: do something on the computer, like cyberce security or something

796
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 2: like that, something technical that I could do from home

797
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 2: or not be at work all hours or didn't night.

798
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: So are you worried that you'll after so much time

799
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: in this like fast paced environment that you really loved,

800
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: are you? Are you worried about a career change.

801
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 2: No, I've been longing for a career change for about

802
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 2: two years now. But unfortunately in Australia, I'm a sponsored

803
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 2: I'm on a sponsorship visa, so I couldn't leave the

804
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 2: job that I'm at. I'm at, but I'm I'm on

805
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 2: my way to obtaining my p are, so they're not

806
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 2: keen basically be an Australian citizen, get the medicare, get

807
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 2: the cheaper school, all that stuff like that. So it's

808
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 2: just all it's all.

809
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: Is it hard to becoming a can you? Well, are

00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: No? No yet?

812
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: Oh so if you if you if you get if

00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: you get married, are you gonna do you just become

814
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: a citizen or how does that work?

815
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 3: Uh?

816
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 2: No, you actually have to pay ten thousand Australian to

817
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 2: apply for a partnership.

818
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: Us get the fuck out of here.

819
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

820
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but not only do you have to pay for

821
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 2: the wedding and stuff like that, you have to convince

822
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: the government that uh you are a legitimate couple and

823
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 2: that you want to be together. So that typically means

824
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 2: you can't leave the country for two to three years

825
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 2: while they thereify all of that stuff. So, uh, I'm

826
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 2: going the other route with my job, so that I

827
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 2: basically have a job. Say yeah, we need this guy,

828
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 2: we'd like to keep him around. We will sponsor.

829
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: And after living a nomadic life for so long, how

830
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: are you feeling about settling down with a kid?

831
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 2: Uh? Like I said, it was, it was kind of

832
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 2: that same thing, like I've done the chef thing. Got

833
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 2: done everything that I feel like I wanted to do

834
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 2: in the culinary world because I have no want on

835
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 2: a restaurant. After that, I just kind of wanted to

836
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 2: start reading a regular life. I wanted to experience what

837
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 2: other people experience, have been off of work at five

838
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 2: o'clock and stuff like that.

839
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna if you're down. I know, I know I've

840
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 1: kept you on the phone for a long time here,

841
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: but if you're down, I want to see if the

842
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: chat perhaps has any questions for Ron. I'm gonna I'm

843
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: gonna see if the chat I can read them out

844
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 1: to you. Let me see here, let's see here. Uh,

845
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: someone just said are you a fancy chef? That I

846
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 1: only I swear to God, if there was enough that

847
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: was the only question so far. If I saw a

848
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 1: better question.

849
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 6: I would have asked, I've done high end work.

850
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 2: I've done I've worked so alt In Wyoming, I was

851
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 2: in a French kitchen making the consummes and nokis and

852
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 2: agnalodi pasta from scratch and stuff like that. I used

853
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 2: to eat Wago beef every single day. Uh yeah, I

854
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 2: guess you could say.

855
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: Has working in a kitchen caused you to trust less

856
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: in the food that you're getting when you like order it? Like,

857
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: are like, do you have you seen anything gross where

858
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: you're like, oh god.

859
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 2: Uh no, it's I actually try not like it's actually

860
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 2: like other people when they go into a restaurant, No,

861
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 2: this isn't the best. And I just go into a restaurant.

862
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 2: I prefer that, like it's it's just good. When somebody

863
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 2: else is cooking for me, did you try?

864
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 3: Oh?

865
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,959
Speaker 1: Sorry, what's what's your girlfriend cooking?

866
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: She can cook? She's no, you'll find it.

867
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 4: Oh she is?

868
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 2: She is?

869
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: She is that who's in the background.

870
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, tell her.

871
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: I said, thank you for letting me steal you away

872
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: for a fucking hour.

873
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 2: No, you're fine.

874
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: Someone said you have you tried ayahuasca in Peru?

875
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 2: No? But I've done a fair amount of ass. I

876
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 2: never made it out to the jungle. While I was

877
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 2: in Peru after ben out in Wyoming for six and

878
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 2: a half seven months, I just wanted to be in

879
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 2: a city, dance, eat good food, meet people. Actually ended

880
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 2: up going on a tender date while I was there

881
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 2: and met two of my really good friends.

882
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: Someone wants to know what town in Alaska did you

883
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: go to?

884
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 2: I went to Craig, Alaska. I was on the Prince

885
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 2: of Wales Island, so it was about an hour and

886
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 2: a half away from Catchkan, which is like a big

887
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 2: port area of cruise lines and stuff there.

888
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: Someone said, Oh, this is interesting. So how would not

889
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 1: having to make money change your relationship to cooking? Like,

890
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: would you cook even if you didn't have to?

891
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:03,439
Speaker 3: Uh?

892
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 2: Probably not. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm

893
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,760
Speaker 2: a picky eater, so like me being a chef doesn't

894
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 2: make sense because I am a strict, extremely picky eater. Uh.

895
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 2: So I enjoy I enjoy the the joy that people

896
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 2: get on their faces when they have good food. So

897
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 2: I guess my love language is just doing for people

898
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. It doesn't have to necessarily be cooking.

899
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: So wants to know, Uh, well, a couple people will

900
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: asked what your favorite dish is to cook, and then

901
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,280
Speaker 1: someone said, what is the weirdest thing you have ever cooked?

902
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 2: My favorite dish is chicken marsala, the Italian version, not

903
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 2: the Indian version, and the weirdest thing God ever cooked.

904
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 2: M Well, I don't know. I saw these this thing

906
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 2: which is basically like shrimp meatballs, and I did them

907
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 2: as an amuse for the restaurant that I was working at,

908
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:21,919
Speaker 2: and they actually turned out really freaking good.

909
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: Uh, this one. Uh, this is totally totally up to you.

910
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: But somebody asked if you have a social media presence

911
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,480

01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: we've had in a while. That's really my favorite thing

957
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: about doing this podcast is like, uh, I know that

958
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: though the way this podcast is framed can sometimes be

959
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: like that it's like an advice podcast, and it definitely

960
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: uh exkews that way a lot of the time. But

961
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: I've said this before. My favorite thing about doing what

962
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: I do is that I get to, you know, not

963
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: only interact with people in a way where I'm like

964
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: getting to soak up the lived experience of other people

965
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, all around the world, but also that you know,

966
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 1: part of that conversation is broadcasted to a bunch of people, uh,

967
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: such as you listening to this, who are also getting

968
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: to learn from other people's learned experience, lived experience. It's

969
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: really cool. It's really cool. So thank you very much

Speaker 1: Well, the guy we just talked to was uh like

1036
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: I feel like kind of talking about those kinds of things.

1037
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I applied in like November, and now I'm

1038
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 3: just like sitting around waiting until they get back to me,

1039
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 3: which is like they do uh they do it in waves,

1040
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 3: so like in like country by country, like South Africa

1041
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 3: like heard back first and then the UK people just

1042
01:04:55,280 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 3: heard about it, and then I'm just sitting around waiting around.

1043
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 3: But I want to do it with like my partner

1044
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 3: because we're both like just interested in living in Japan,

1045
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 3: like traveling around and stuff.

1046
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: Really cool, really cool way Japan.

1047
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 3: Uh, mostly just because of the culture and stuff. I mean,

1048
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 3: like I like the United States, but I want to dip,

1049
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 3: Like it's just kind of uncomfortable here in Tennessee. I

1050
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 3: guess I don't know.

1051
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: Japan kicks ass. Japan's a great place to hang out in.

1052
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know a whole lot about Like I only

1053
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: learned like a few Japanese phrases. But I feel like

1054
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: with languages, it's like if you really kind of go

1055
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: at it for a year, you can you can do

1056
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. Are you well, you're not trying to learn

1057
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: in Japanese? You want to teach English in Japanese in Japan?

1058
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they don't have like many requirements like if

1059
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 3: you want to like go to like South Korea or

1060
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 3: anything like that, they require you to like do like

1061
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 3: a TfL like course which is like one hundred and

1062
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 3: twenty hours, but like you can do in like six months.

1063
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 3: But we're also looking at those opportunities. But like all

1064
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 3: those conversations started from like oh maybe maybe like Peace

1065
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 3: Corps or something like that. I don't know. And we've

1066
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 3: been applying around just saying what we want to put

1067
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 3: ourselves forward towards.

1068
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: I think I think, yeah, with a lot of those

1069
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: like ESL programs, it's interesting because I am. I do

1070
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: know that a lot of them don't require you to

1071
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: speak the language that you're teaching the people to, which

1072
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: is crazy because when I was in eighth grade, I

1073
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: took a Spanish class and that lady spoke English. Well, well, no,

1074
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: you like you know, like like with like in America,

1075
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: like all the like, like when you were in middle school,

1076
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: you have to take like Spanish or French or some shit.

1077
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 3: I took German at high school.

1078
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: Okay, you're German high school teacher. She spoke English, right.

1079
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, she like grew up here in America then

1080
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 3: like went over to like Germany, and then I got

1081
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 3: like a second teacher that had like committed his whole

1082
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 3: life to like living in Germany and then coming back here.

1083
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: But like that would be crazy. If they just had

1084
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: a just fully one hundred percent German lady come in

1085
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: and just speak German to the whole time, you wouldn't

1086
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: learn anything.

1087
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 3: My girlfriend, when she took like French at the high school,

1088
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 3: they originally had like this like very country person teaching

1089
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 3: like French, and apparently like after she got replaced by

1090
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 3: a real French person, it was very very hard to

1091
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 3: like transition to students because they had like created like

1092
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 3: bad habits and stuff.

1093
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, here's the thing with like learning the languages.

1094
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: I feel like it's not that bad to like learn

1095
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: it badly, Like like the the grammar doesn't really matter.

1096
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: If you speak a broken second language, as as an American,

1097
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: then you're doing pretty good.

1098
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1099
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 3: I had to learn a little bit of Spanish for

1100
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:41,480
Speaker 3: working at like a paint.

1101
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 2: Store that I worked at.

1102
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 3: But like I'm like kind of adjusted towards like picking

1103
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 3: up like phrases and like, yeah, just like the culture

1104
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 3: surrounding it.

1105
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: I guess when I feel like when you try to

1106
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 1: learn another language and then like you're talking to like

1107
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 1: foreign people who are speaking English to you, you're like, oh,

1108
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: this person's actually pretty fucking good at English.

1109
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 3: They're all shy about it too, Right.

1110
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Well, that's cool, man. I'm glad to hear that your

1111
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: life is glad to hear that you're not depressed and

1112
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: you're about to do a cool thing.

1113
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do.

1114
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 2: But it's hard.

1115
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 3: I mean, like giving up like opportunities to like hang

1116
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 3: out with my dogs and stuff or like my family

1117
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 3: just to like jump ship.

1118
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're right, you're twenty two, twenty four, twenty four. Yeah,

1119
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: but if yeah, I mean, but you know, life's for living.

1120
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that last call was great for that.

1121
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,640
Speaker 1: Well, brother, my friend, is there anything else you want

1122
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: to say to the people of the computer before we go.

1123
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 3: Get out there? And uh, actually we'll throw this out

1124
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 3: uh google the High Face. I grew up in that religion,

1125
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,679
Speaker 3: the High One out there. Yeah, so it's a it's

1126
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 3: a religion that's like uh uh they believe in like

1127
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 3: the nine major religions, and I just want to put

1128
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,720

01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: up into one fucking ball and it's just the High Face.

1131
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.

1132
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 3: They were like uh talking about like how uh uh

1133
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 3: the Word of God goes through many different prophets, and

1134
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 3: like how every like country or like culture has like

1135
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 3: had a prophet, whether it's passed down orally or like

1136
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 3: traditionally through like writing and stuff. And it was a

1137
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 3: really really cool religion to grow up in.

1138
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: M hm, the hind Do you still believe? Do you

1139
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: still believe in? Do you still believe in the High Faith?

1140
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 3: I would say yes, I'm definitely surrounded by like a

1141
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:08,600
Speaker 3: lot of people that aren't like, uh, you know, super religious,

1142
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 3: but I generally believe that, like it's important to like

1143
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 3: share your voice and like all the values that they

1144
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 3: like taught early on. I guess, so I don't know,

1145
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 3: Uh I, I don't know. We live in like a

1146
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 3: perfect world with like perfect conditions for everything.

1147
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you really believe that.

1148
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 3: Kind of I mean, uh, if I kind of that,

1149
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 3: that's a bad answer. I should say yes or no,

1150
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 3: but yes, I don't know. Maybe I'm watching too many

1151
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 3: YouTube shorts with like those science guys saying, uh uh,

1152
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 3: can you believe the the I don't know.

1153
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: Well I will well hold on. I not to you

1154
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: lose faith in literally what you're just saying right now.

1155
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 1: But it's cool that your YouTube shorts algorithm is sending

1156
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: you videos about how the world is awesome and perfect

1157
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: because most I don't know if I'm probably not alone

1158
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: in this, but most of the internet content I get

1159
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: fed is about how the world is horrible and we're

1160
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: all going to die.

1161
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:25,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1162
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 3: Man, I do watch a lot of car crash compilations.

1163
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you gotta balance it out, Yeah, Okay, I

1164
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,639
Speaker 1: have one final question, why do you believe the world

1165
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: is perfect as it is?

1166
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 3: I guess I've been just living life on like easy

1167
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 3: mode and I haven't really been like traumatized or really.

1168
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I've talked to other people about like trauma

1169
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 3: and stuff, but it's ever been at like, I don't know,

1170
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 3: my own personal experiences have been amazing, and I always

1171
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 3: try to look at like saying yes to like opportunities

1172
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 3: and those of like always because originally I didn't. I

1173
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 3: didn't say yes to like all the opportunities that were

1174
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 3: like presented to me, And I think, I don't know,

1175
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 3: I just I'm surrounded by amazing people and an amazing partner,

1176
