21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: going with you?

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: It could be better?

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: Okay? How could it be better?

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: Well, I had a rough day dealing with the veterans

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: administration medical folks. So that was irritating.

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you called because I know a lot

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: about the Veterans Medical Association, a.

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Lot of old vets bitching and complaining.

29
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: No I was, I was, I was being a dick.

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: But what what? What problem are you having with them?

31
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: Oh? So, I've been having issues with my knees since

32
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, and I've been frustrated with the Army when

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: I was still in that they weren't taking it seriously,

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: and weren't taking it seriously, and they didn't kind of

35
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: give me the attention I wanted. And maybe I'm just

36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: kind of grasping for answers that aren't there. I'm one

37
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: of the very few people who in the Army actually

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: liked to run. And when my knees started to hurt,

39
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: and the treatments they did on me haven't had surgery

40
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: yet didn't work out. I slowly reduced my running, reduced

41
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: my running, reduced my running, and that accompanied a little

42
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: bit of weight gain and in general overall loss of fitness.

43
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: And I felt, especially being an officer, I wasn't I

44
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: wasn't giving setting the best example for my guys. I

45
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: was very fortunate that the Army suspended the PT test

46
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: as long as they did, because I don't know if

47
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: I would have been able to make it.

48
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: What do you are you still in the well? You

49
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: said you're a veteran, So are you still What are

50
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: you doing?

51
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: I got out in August?

52
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you do? What do you do now?

53
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: You're retired?

54
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: Yuh sorta. I mean, retirement in the military has a

55
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: very specific connectation, and I'm not retired, but my compensation

56
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: from the VAU is almost equivalent.

57
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so you have a you have a compensation from

58
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: the Veterans Association. I'm going to assume that's what VA

59
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: stands for administration administer. Okay, I was close. I got

60
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: the v but not the association. And an association, by

61
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: the way, an administration, I feel like a pretty similar anyway,

62
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what what so? So you don't so?

63
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: So?

64
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: How long? How long are those checks going to be

65
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: coming in for?

66
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: Unless I get convicted of fraud? Theoretically for life? But again,

67
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: Congress can do whatever they want. If the American people

68
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: stop giving the love they have been since nine to

69
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 2: eleven two veterans and the electorate changes, that can change,

70
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: but for the foreseeable future, I've got that money coming in.

71
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's good. What so all right, so what

72
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: do you do with your time then? If you don't,

73
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: if you're not working.

74
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I've been a little bit of

75
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: a shut in. I do have something cooking. I'm trying.

76
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: I'm applying to a Japanese language school in Japan. I

77
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: want to get I've got a little bit of Japanese knowledge,

78
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: but it's pretty pitiful and I've been hide I see,

79
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: I see.

80
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. What does hyde mean?

81
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: It means uh hi oh hi high high?

82
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, hi hi hi. That's cool man, that's cool.

83
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: So you're you're you're are you like?

84
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: So?

85
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: Are you Are you applying to go do that in Japan? Yes?

86
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: We We had a little bit of a mix up

87
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 2: with the school for an interview, so I accidentally missed

88
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: the first interview. They've scheduled second one. So I was

89
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: not happy when I realized I had gotten the wrong date, well,

90
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: especially when I was very careful to confirm the time difference,

91
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: and then I just completely missed that they shifted. It

92
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: shifted the day when they sent me a zoom link.

93
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: M hm.

94
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: So is this this Japanese language school thing? Is it?

95
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Is it part of is it? Is it a veteran

96
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: thing or is it just like, uh, you know, a

97
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: random kind of unrelated Japanese school.

98
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: The latter, it's kind of a it's a for profit school.

99
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be able to pay for it with the VA,

100
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: but that's one of the things I do have going

101
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: for me. I have no debt, and I have between

102
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: retirement accounts and just brokerage accounts, I have about one

103
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in just straight like fairly liquid assets. Again,

104
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: I know the economy takes dump, it's gonna be less.

105
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: But nice, nice, and you're gonna use that to pay

106
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: for this Japanese school.

107
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

108
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Now, are you hoping to like, like stay in Japan

109
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: at all?

110
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: I I don't think so. Especially when I was in

111
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: the Army, I got to go to Korea and Europe.

112
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: But one of the things, like a every for the

113
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: audience when CNN is freaking out about North Korea, ignore it.

114
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: When the whole Trump business was going down, I was

115
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: getting blackout drunk in the middle of soul. Nobody in

116
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: South Korea cares North Korea has been going on anyways, tangent.

117
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: But I've always said I'd like to live overseas for

118
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: a year or two, and yeah, I think, you know,

119
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: the living in Japan thing is a dream. And I

120
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: visited there twice and they've got some problems. I don't

121
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: think people realize I met Japanese Nazis both times I

122
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: visited Tokyo.

123
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: Japanese Nazis.

124
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: It's more common than you would think.

125
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 6: Huh.

126
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: Were they like official? I guess. I don't know how

127
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: official a Nazi can be, but what Japanese Nazis.

128
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: So the first time, it was a far right march,

129
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: like a fairly good number. Fortunately most were middle, middle

130
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: aged or older, but carrying signs that essentially said expel

131
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: the foreigners, you know, restore the emperor and you know,

132
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: essentially remail tries.

133
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: Japan by foreigners. Do they mean like like Americans coming

134
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: over there?

135
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: No, they mean literally everyone who isn't the purest of

136
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: the pure Japanese.

137
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so it's go ahead, now, you go ahead.

138
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: So it's it's even people like the there's a large

139
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: Korean minority within Japan that has been historically treated very

140
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: very very poorly, and I remember hanging out with at

141
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: a Japanese bar and just hearing a Japanese local say

142
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: some inredibly offensive things about Korean.

143
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: M okay, this and this. When How long were you

144
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: in Japan for? When you were so the first time?

145
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: So the first time I went for about two weeks,

146
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: and the second time I was. It was super cool.

147
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: I landed the day they opened up to individual tourists,

148
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: so I got interviewed on Japanese TV, which was kind

149
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: of neat, and I spent about a month and a

150
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: half just be bopping around Japan. I actually met an

151
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: atomic bomb survivor in Nagasaki. That was wild.

152
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: Oh that is wild. Was he like a when when

153
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: did the Nagasaki bomb drop?

154
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: That was August of nineteen forty five?

155
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Wow? How old was was this guy?

156
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: Dude was ninety six, so he's a teenager. I can't

157
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: remember if he worked in the Mitsubishi factory, but he

158
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: handed me a little card with his story. Essentially, his

159
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: boss was like, hey, we need you to walk to site.

160
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: Be walked over to site B. I was walking right

161
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: behind a pillar and the bomb went off and he

162
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: was like one of two people from either sites to survive.

163
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, so you're there for two weeks and you're

164
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: thinking about it, and so if you went back for

165
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: this language school, how long would you go for?

166
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: So the maximum I could get the visas of about

167
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: one year and nine months, but I figure at least

168
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: a year and again living in work or living in Japan,

169
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: and I have the option to have a part time job.

170
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: I really want to be able to really increase my

171
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: command of Japanese. And if I get to a certain

172
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: point where I'm like, hey, I can watch my anime

173
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: without subtitles and read my manga untranslated, so like that's gravy.

174
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: So I'm also kind of curious, what's your family friend

175
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: situation right now? Would you be going to like if

176
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: you went to Japan, would you be abandoning you know,

177
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: anyone here? Would you still be able to have like

178
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: a support system going on? Would you have people there?

179
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: What's the deal?

180
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: So I'm single, I don't really have any brothers or

181
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: sisters in the local area I currently am. I don't

182
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: really have any friends. My best friend lives in a

183
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: different time zone already, although Japan will complicate that. Fair

184
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: deal and no real attachments it's been frustrating. Since I

185
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: left the house at twenty two. I've moved, on average

186
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: about moved or deployed on average about every year of

187
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: my life since then. So relationships and friends have been difficult.

188
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: Is that like a big struggle in your life?

189
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: Uh?

190
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I still talk to my best friend,

191
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: who I've been friends with since middle school. But again,

192
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: like he's got a wife, he's got a kid on

193
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: the way, you know, life's taken all elsewhere. He works remote,

194
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: so he's he and I can howk on discord while

195
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: he plays RuneScape while he's quote unquote working.

196
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: So you've been like moving every year since you were

197
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: twenty two?

198
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 4: Yeah? Okay?

199
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: Is it okay? If I asked cold you right now

200
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm thirty? Okay? Yeah? Do you and when you move,

201
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: do you have an easy time making friends and like

202
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: finding community where you go?

203
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: I mean the army is sort of like community, just

204
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: add alcohol. But it's one of those things as soon

205
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: as you move away, you might and especially as an

206
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 2: officer a little, especially when I got to be a captain,

207
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: it became very cutthroat, and I by about four years

208
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: in I was like, I don't think I'm going to

209
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: make this career. So I did something. There's a game

210
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 2: and you must play it. So like going to the

211
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 2: senior officer's house and being like oh, beautiful house, or

212
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: like lovely reception, but the whole thing of like why

213
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: do we need to delay this guy's orders? I'm like

214
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: he needs to get his family in order, and it's

215
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: like it's like, yeah, all right, sir, don't care.

216
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think moving to Japan would be exciting.

217
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: I guess you weren't even talking about moving, you were

218
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: just talking about going there for a year and nine months.

219
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it'd be cool, and it's

220
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: something I actually want to do. Like another benefit I

221
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: have is a full DII bill, So that's three years

222
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: of cool within the United States or even outside. And

223
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 2: like I told everybody on my way out, my plan

224
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: is to get an m B A and do this

225
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: and do this, and I'll be at a fortune five

226
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: hundred company, you know, and put that on paper when

227
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: it's just like please let me go.

228
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Do you what, Sae? Do you have an

229
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: ultimate dream or goal of of some kind?

230
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, be a billionaire and have a U

231
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: a supervillain style uh, layer laid into a mountain in

232
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: an abandoned salt mine that has apocalypse proof storage and

233
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: all that stuff.

234
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Ambitious.

235
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I like that.

236
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: Hmm hmm. I don't know. I'm thinking. I'm thinking about

237
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: you right now because, Uh, it's cool that you've you've moved,

238
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: You've you've been able to withstand like moving every year

239
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: of your life. And it sounds as though you know

240
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: it's been difficult, but that you've found good stuff every

241
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: time you do it. It's aspiring to me.

242
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: It's one of those things where it's been tough. But

243
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: there's like some folks that, like I met somebody in

244
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: Ohio who the furthest they'd ever been away from home

245
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: was sixty miles, like over the border to Indiana. And

246
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: it's just like I've been literally all over the world,

247
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: and I'm saying you need to do that. But if

248
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: you hate your potu ONNK Town, maybe it's time to

249
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: fire bomb your apartment and just drive.

250
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: I feel like you would get in trouble if you

251
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: fire bombed your apartments.

252
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably would, but it's a nice fantasy.

253
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: What is your name again, Mark?

254
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: And how should I address you? Mister forever Lyle mister gecko.

256
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: talking to me about all this stuff. This is all fascinating.

257
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: It makes me think about I don't know. That's what

258
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: I really like about doing this show is I feel

259
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: like I get to learn about so many people's lives

260
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: and how they deal with whatever the fuck is going

261
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: on with them. And you know, I appreciate you talking

262
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: about all this.

263
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no worries. I appreciate you picking up the phone.

264
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: Is there anything else you want to say to the

265
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: people of the computer before we go?

266

Speaker 1: What's going on right? How you doing? You know?

275
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 3: I'm I'm all right. I just found out that I

276
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 3: didn't get a job that I really wanted, So I'm

277
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: a little bummed.

278
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: What was the job?

279
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: A dog trainer?

280
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: A dog trainer?

281
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 3: Yeah?

282
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: What were you trying to train the dogs to do?

283
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 3: All kinds of things? But yeah, most basic obedience and

284
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: stuff like that.

285
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: Okay, is it is it wrong to train dogs?

286
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 4: Like?

287
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Should we just let them misbehave because it's in their nature?

288
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: You know?

289
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: It's actually not so dogs love to work.

290
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: M hmm.

291
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. So dogs love to work, and so if you

292
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 3: give them like purpose, it kind of helps them to

293
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 3: to grow more pinality and kind of share more of

294
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 3: a bond with her own nurse. So it actually helps

295
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 3: a lot.

296
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: I feel like by the way I I, I, you know,

297
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate it sounds as though what you're saying comes

298
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: from like an educated place, But anecdotally, anecdotally, I have

299
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: a dog that's my parents' dog, is not my dog,

300
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: but and that dog does not like to work. That

301
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: dog likes to sit and do absolutely nothing as much

302
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: as she possibly can. Would she would she be happier

303
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: if she worked? Probably? Yeah, I mean I, I, you know,

304
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: I spend lots of time sitting around doing absolutely nothing.

305
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: Then I'd probably be happy if I spent it, uh

306
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: going on walks or trying to you know, build a

307
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: church or whatever. Yeah.

308
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 3: That's what they say, is like doing things like walking

309
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 3: and stuff helps with like your mental health and stuff.

310
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: But I don't personally do it myself. I myself is

311
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 3: just a little bit lazy.

312
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: You know, so you did Why are you so you're

313
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: upset that you didn't get this job? How many different

314
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: door It sounds like dogs are like your thing. How

315
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: many different dog jobs did you apply for?

316
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: I've applied for quite a few. So I currently work

317
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 3: at a big chain store as a trainer. But it's

318
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: kind of the worst job I've ever ever experienced, not

319
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: the job that I do. I love training and I

320
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: love teaching people and helping them with their dogs. But

321
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 3: I definitely have applied for many, many positions for training

322
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: at like like big like board and train places that

323
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: are a little bit more professional than I would say

324
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 3: a pet smart is okay?

325
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: In what way is not to put pets smart on blast?

326
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 5: Well?

327
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: What way are they unprofessional?

328
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: Managers? The managers they're they're not very they like to

329
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: pick on everyone, and they kind of are just not

330
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: very good people. And I've been a manager before, so, like, like,

331
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: I was a retail manager beforehand, and I've done all

332
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 3: kinds of things. Honestly, I was a stripper at one point.

333
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 3: But you know, so I have definitely met better managers

334
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 3: in my days, and these managers are just there, almost evil.

335
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: I would say, what evil? You say, what like, well, okay,

336
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: how do you feel like they're evil?

337
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 5: Well, my one box.

338
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 3: She just seems to find every little thing and point

339
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 3: it out, but in the worst way possible. So she'll

340
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 3: make you feel like you are worthless when she's got you.

341
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 3: And it's just not you know, I was a manager before,

342
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: and the way you handle talking to people, not making

343
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 3: them feel like they're the worst thing in the world,

344
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 3: sounds like you did.

345
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: I just hear a dog bark.

346
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got four of them.

347
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: That sounds that sounds if you If you told me

348
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: you had four dogs, I'd hire you for any kind

349
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: of dog training thing. I feel like that's objective evidence

350
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: that you know how to take care of dogs. Okay,

351
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: why do you you know? You know?

352
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: You know?

353
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: Why do you Why do you think this person fucking

354
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: is so evil to you?

355
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 3: Honestly, I think she's unhappy. Yeah, she's overall unhappy in

356
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: her daily life, and I think that it's something that

357
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: she just doesn't know how to help herself with. And

358
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 3: I think that the way she handles it is just

359
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: by tin picking people who she just doesn't.

360
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 5: Like and I'm very I will say I'm very I stand.

361
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 3: Up for myself. So I will never work in a

362
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 3: place where I think that, you know, I I that

363
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 3: I can't stand up and say hey, that's not right.

364
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: So I'm very open and I'll tell her things like, hey,

365
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 3: this isn't okay. And because I do that, and because

366
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: I bring up like issues that she's not handling, because

367
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: she just wants to let it ride, you know, and

368
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: just kind of ignore it. Because I bring up the

369
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 3: issues that she kind of dusts under the rugs. I

370
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: don't think she is very happy about that, and so

371
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: she takes a lot of shots at me. I got

372
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: a rid okay right up for being unorganized, you.

373
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 1: Got to ride up for being over all.

374
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 4: Right.

375
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: So she's unhappy, so she starts, you know, taking it

376
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: out on another folks. Uh, And you're then that makes

377
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: you unhappy, so you're like, oh am, I gonna put

378
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: up with this shit. So you tell her that she's

379
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: doing so she's sucking up, and that just pisses her off,

380
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: so she starts to do more things that you are

381
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: not exactly Uh huh are you still at this job?

382
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 3: I am? Yeah. I love the people I teach and

383
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 3: the classes that I do. So like, I go in

384
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 3: and I really try to focus on the pet parents

385
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: and the dogs who come in to see me and

386
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: specifically me, which is why it's so hard to leave,

387
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: because I still have classes that are going on right now,

388
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 3: you know. So it's like one of those things really

389
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: difficult to just pick up and leave all your people

390
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: who you're kind of teaching and helping. You know, these

391
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 3: people have dogs who are aggressive or you know, jumpers,

392
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 3: or just overall like anxiety and stuff. And one of

393
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 3: my big things is to help teach dogs who came

394
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 3: from like the shelter, you know, who have a rough

395
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 3: life and who have all those behavioral issues. That's my

396
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: big passion is to help those guys. And so it's

397
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: really hard for me to just walk out of this

398
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 3: job because you know, I have those those connects to

399
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: those people.

400
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: You know, what's your name again, Rain? Just like the rain, Rain, Rain, Look,

401
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: I look up. I could tell you this. It sounds

402
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: as though you, I mean, clearly you have a passion

403
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: for dogs, and look, I feel like even if you

404
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: didn't get this one job, I think that passion for

405
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: dogs will lend you into something. I mean there's at

406
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: least Look, there is at least ten thousand dogs, so

407
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: there's probably at least how many dogs. How many work

408
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: with me here? How many dog jobs do you think

409
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: there are? Per amount of dogs that exist.

410
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 3: In the world, There's got to be a good amount

411
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: compared to the dogs I feel okay around the world.

412
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: I feel like it's hard to some pop impoverished places

413
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: or places like Korea or places where they sell dog

414
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: meat and stuff like that, Like it's really hard.

415
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: So and and and I assume, and I assume when

416
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: you say that you want to do a job with dogs,

417
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: selling dog meat.

418
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: Is not Yeah, it's hard to one of those.

419
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so not so we're not including those

420
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: dog jobs. Technically those are technically those are dog jobs.

421
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: They're not the ideal ones under but undeniably they are.

422
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: They are dog they are jobs working with dogs.

423
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 2: Anyway, very true.

424
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 3: I would a good amount compared to the amount.

425
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 2: Of dogs that there are.

426
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 3: You know this bets. There's trainers, there's dog fitters, there's groomers.

427
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: Mhm. So I mean, listen, I'm sure you'll I am

428
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: I am uh I guess just from talking to you,

429
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: I I'm pretty confident you'll be able to find uh

430
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: a job that involves dogs that doesn't involve you know,

431
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: killing them and selling them. Yeah, and involves the opposite,

432
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: In fact, involves the opposite taken care of them so

433
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: that they do not die. So I think you'll be okay,

434
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Thank you I needed okay.

00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 4: One time, long long ago and you were getting raided

473
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 4: and I was telling you the story about one of

474
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 4: my shitty neighbors and you're very tired.

475
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,399

476
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: energy and ready to accept whatever it is you have

477
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: called in to tell me.

478
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 4: Nice.

479
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: I uh, I don't have anything to tell me you.

480
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 4: No, I do. I do. I have a pretty stressful job.

481
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, my wife's pregnant. I have a twenty one

482
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: month old baby, and I don't get a lot of

483
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: time to around and do stupid stuff like I used to.

484
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: What kind of stupid stuff did you used to do?

485
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: I go out in miller woods, gone in the middle

486
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: of nowhere for like ten hours or so, just wake

487
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 4: up super early, get really far out there and just

488
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 4: have nothing around or things like that.

489
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see, you have a wife and children, and

490
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: unfortunately your wife and children have impeded your ability to

491
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: go out deep into the woods alone for ten hours

492
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: and fall asleep with nothing.

493
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

494
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 4: No, but it's okay, it's good. But I found something new.

495
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: Did you bring a did you bring a sleeping bag

496
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: or was just just you?

497
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: I would have a firearm and a GPS tool in

498
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 4: the backpack with some goodies. I wouldn't sleep, I just

499
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 4: go walk around.

500
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: Hmmm. I mean, have you ever do you know what

Speaker 4: I do know what camping is.

503
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: Yes, okay. Some people take their families camping, which is

504
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: a version of what you did.

505
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: I could do it, but I try to take a

506
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: pregnant person camping would seem like they wouldn't enjoy it much.

507
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 4: They're constant discomfort.

508
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: H Okay, So you have a twenty one. How old

Speaker 1: a healthy, normal adult man. You kind of seem like

513
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: the guy that would pop up if I googled man

514
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: and went to Google images.

515
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 4: Maybe. I guess it depends.

516
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: Do you consider yourself a healthy adult man?

517
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: Mm? Well, I guess so. Yeah, I'm pretty. My job

518
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 4: is stressful, and I just I don't sleep much and

519
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: that's I guess that's all normal stuff.

520
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, what do you do for work?

521
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 4: I am a veterinarian.

522
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: You're a veterinarian, so you dude, you're yeah, you know,

523
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sleep too if my job was to kill

524
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: dogs all day. That's your job, right, is to kill

525
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: dogs all day?

526
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 4: And that is a part of it.

527
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: Tell me, honestly, how many Okay, guys, I know the

528
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: whole idea of a veteran is if you're you're supposed

529
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: to save dogs, right true, on a daily basis, how

530
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: many dogs do you kill? And how many dogs do

531
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: you say?

532
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: I guess kill would be zero to four?

533
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Dave, I.

534
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 4: I guess defined save like that something's dying and then

535
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 4: stop it from dying. Yes, I did that today. That

536
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 4: was fun.

537
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: Okay, do you kill any dogs today?

538
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 4: I did?

539
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: How many dogs do you kill?

540
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 4: One?

541
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: So you really didn't do anything today?

542
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 4: Zero zero?

543
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 1: Does it work like that in your brain? Like at

544
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: the end of a day, do for every dog you saved?

545
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: Does that negate a dog that you kill or are

546
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: those like two just separate things in your brain?

547
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 4: Oh, you gotta put points upon the scoreboard. No, I'm kidding.

548
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 4: I'm kidding. I don't even see it as killing something.

549
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 4: It's like this thing is suffering so immensely. It's like

550
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 4: a mercy.

551
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: That's hardcore, you know what. That's what Thanos thought too

552
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: when he was snapping people away.

553
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 4: Oh my god. I explained the plot line of Banos

554
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 4: to my dad one time and he said, oh, that makes.

555
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: Sense, Bro, That's the thing. I feel like. That's how

556
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: half the people who see that movie come out they kind.

557
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 4: Of getting, Yeah, that would work.

558
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I don't get what Thanos was

559
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: going for. I don't think it was a good I

560
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: don't think in practice it was a good idea. But

561
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, I get what he was going for.

562
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 4: The series is good. It sounds.

563
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so I mean, yeah, dude, you kill dogs for

564
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: a living, you're gonna be stressed out in that sleep.

565
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 4: But my wife on Easter bought our baby this bubble

566
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 4: set and it makes these fucking gigantic bubbles and it

567
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 4: has inspired something in me. And now if I'm not

568
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: making bubbles, I'm spending at least two hours a day

569
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 4: thinking about making bubbles.

570
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: What do you like so much about the bubbles?

571
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 4: The bubbles they're huge first off, and then when you're

572
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 4: making them with like the two sticks and a stream,

573
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 4: you get a look inside of them and they're like

574
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 4: a morphous and they got this kind of they're kind

575
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 4: of alive window outside and they wabble around and they

576
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 4: get really long, and they snap into these little, not little,

577
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 4: the gigantic circles and they're just kind of floating around.

578
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 4: Then it is it is so fun to see. It's

579
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: like relaxing.

580
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 1: Mm hm, you've you've regressed into a childlike state of wonder.

581
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 4: Dude. I researched making my own bubble solutions to make

582
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 4: bigger bubbles that last longer.

583
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

584
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 4: What did you find glycerin? It's like a plant based

585
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 4: hand moisturizing thing. I bought like a gallon of it

586
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 4: on Amazon. I mix it with normal bubble solutions. You

587
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: can put corn stars in there, you let it sit overnight.

588
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 4: Then you have a park next to my house and

589
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 4: there's a big grass field with a hill next to it,

590
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 4: and I stand on top of that hill and I

591
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 4: just launch these gigantic bubbles out into the ether.

592
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of awesome. It sounds you sound like you

593
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: have a good life.

594
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 4: Yeah I do. I think.

595
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you kill dogs and have a baby and low bubbles.

596
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: That sounds true. It sounds like you again. You seem

597
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: like a normal, healthy adult male me at least in

598
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: my eyes. Man, at least to my eyes, I don't.

599
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm not hearing anything dire from you. And I'm not

600
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: saying that to minimize the issues. I'm saying that, no,

601
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: hopefully make you see the same thing.

602
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. I want to take my bubble

603
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 4: wand and everything, and I want to sit outside of

604
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 4: a music festival and just make these gigantic bubbles for

605
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 4: people who are tripping and just watch the enjoyment on

606
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 4: their face. And that's my dream right now.

607
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: That sounds awesome, man. I like that. You ever take

608
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: it to a music festival.

Speaker 4: She's like born Catholic, but she's like not really religious.

615
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 4: So she tries to do these religious holidays for our kid,

616
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 4: and I make fun of it. And then I spent

617
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,240

Speaker 5: conniption where I started to for the first time, starts

795
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 5: randomly having moments where I feel like I'm not on

796
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 5: the right path and it's sucking me up.

00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 3: You had?

800
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: You had like your brain went weird.

801
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 5: That's what a conniption is, right medically.

802
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: But yes, okay, so your brain went weird and you

803
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: feel like you're not on the right path?

804
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 5: Correct?

805
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: Oh what tell me? What path are you on?

806
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 2: Okay?

807
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 5: I'm taking the the typical route, going to college and

808
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 5: then I'm getting a job.

809
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Like.

810
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 5: I'm studying journalism currently and it's I'm always have wanted

811
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 5: to be a journalist, but now that I'm here, I'm

812
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 5: a I'm a sophomore. When I was afraid, was so

813
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 5: passionate about it, and beginning of last semester, I think

814
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 5: I started to uh, like more chat more obstacles were

815
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 5: at it, Like I wasn't just doing school, like like

816
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 5: I have an actual job. I had a new relationship,

817
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 5: and I'm like trying to balance all of those with

818
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 5: also being social. And I think that is what made

819
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 5: me start questioning everything that I was doing.

820
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: In a way then inspired the connection you just trying

821
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: to live a balanced life inspired a conniption.

822
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 5: It did, But Bru said before, I wasn't balancing so

823
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 5: many things, and then it was just like it was

824
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 5: just chaos. Yeah, I'm doing much this semester, but unpacking

825
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 5: last semester is troublesome.

826
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: Love well, life's are fucking I mean, it's crazy how

827
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: many things you're a parent. I don't I don't know

828
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: how to be a normal human being because I don't

829
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: like my apartment has fucking dust bunnies on it and

830
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: ship but like the checklist of a normal of of

831
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: what the societal normal human being is, right whatever, Educated

832
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: with a job and a relationship and you know, laundry

833
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: done and friends and you know, reads the news whatever

834
00:48:55,160 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: it like like completing everything on the uh supposed societal

835
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: todem whatever the fuck is hard. You know, doing a

836
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: balancing all these things you're talking about is difficult, is

837
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: all right? So but you said you were having trouble

838
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: with it last year and you're not having trouble with it

839
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: this year. What tell me about the presence?

840
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 5: Yeah? So currently I feel like I need to have

841
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 5: some kind of like I need to start doing internships

842
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 5: and stuff. Okay, for my major, in order to have

843
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 5: like a job after college, I need internships. But in

844
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 5: order to get internships, they want me to have previous experience.

845
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 5: And I feel like it's just this never ending cycle

846
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 5: of like.

847
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:49,239

00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 5: the newspaper as often because it's such a it feels

856
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 5: like such a task. But I mean writing is an

857
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:14,759

00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to wait for uh, you know, anyone

926
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: should give you permission to do that.

927
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 4: Right.

928
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: It's gonna make the problems that here's what I'm gonna

929
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 1: tell you if you take that route, which I think

930
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 1: you should.

931
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 5: Okay, I like build a brand like Yeah.

932
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna make the problems that we were talking about

933
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 1: earlier about about one hundred thousand times worse. And and

934
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: actually now I'm thinking about now, I'm thinking about nothing.

935
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: Now I'm thinking about it. No, I'm thinking about it

936
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: because it will make the problems you were just talking

937
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: about one hundred thousand thimes worse. It might not be

938
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: the best lifestyle fit for you to like run your

939
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: own business, and that's okay. If it's not, you might

940
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: you might, just as a human being, be happier working

941
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,319

973
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: on the podcast a bunch, like if you want to

974
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: be a journalist or a social media person like and

975
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,120

978
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: You don't have to ask somebody for permission to write something.

979
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: You can just go and write it and post it

980
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: on Medium or talk about it on TikTok, and all

981
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're a journalist. There's there's motherfuckers with

982
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: these YouTube channels where they like like, I watched an

983
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: hour long YouTube video about the fucking Nickelodeon Hotel the

984
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: other day. Yeah, do you know what I'm talking about?

985
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: The guy who makes that that guy, that guy didn't

986
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: that guy just that guy's a journalist. He did a

987
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: fucking investigative report about the Nickelodeon Hotel. He didn't go

988
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: to CNN and say, hey, can I write about the

989
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: Nickelodeon Hotel, because if he did, they would have said no.

990
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: So he just did the report and he made it.

991
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: Now he's a journalist and asking them for permission. You know,

992
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: and I just want you to know that you can

993
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: do that if you want to, Right.

994
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 5: I just take my own path, yes.

995
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: But I also want you I also we should be

996
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: aware of the fact, just because you know you wanted

997
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: to talk about balance, that the guy who made that

998
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: one hour YouTube video about the Nickelodeon hotel almost certainly

999
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: destroyed his life in the process. He almost certainly several

1000
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: times neglected his wife and children to you know, because

1001
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: he was getting emails from somebody who had found lost

1002
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: decals of Tommy Pickles. That was useful information to him,

1003
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: and he missed plenty of important life events because of it.

1004
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: But he did it, and he didn't ask anyone for

1005
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: permission to make his Nickelodeonal health video, even though it

1006
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: almost certainly destroyed his life. So I just want you

1007
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: to know that you could do that and fuck up

1008
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: your balance to achieve your dreams.

1009
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 5: Right.

1010
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: What was this conversation helpful to you at all?

1011
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 5: While it was helpful to me. I at you as

1012
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 5: we're talking because it's trusting me out.

1013
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: But Gwen, is there anything else you want to say

1014
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,240
