<v Speaker 2>All from Mark.

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Mark, Hey, how's it going going? Okay? How's it

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>going with you?

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>It could be better?

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay? How could it be better?

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I had a rough day dealing with the veterans

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>administration medical folks. So that was irritating.

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm glad you called because I know a lot

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>about the Veterans Medical Association, a.

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Lot of old vets bitching and complaining.

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>No I was, I was, I was being a dick.

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>But what what? What problem are you having with them?

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh? So, I've been having issues with my knees since

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen, and I've been frustrated with the Army when

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I was still in that they weren't taking it seriously,

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>and weren't taking it seriously, and they didn't kind of

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>give me the attention I wanted. And maybe I'm just

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of grasping for answers that aren't there. I'm one

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>of the very few people who in the Army actually

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>liked to run. And when my knees started to hurt,

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>and the treatments they did on me haven't had surgery

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>yet didn't work out. I slowly reduced my running, reduced

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 2>my running, reduced my running, and that accompanied a little

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>bit of weight gain and in general overall loss of fitness.

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 2>And I felt, especially being an officer, I wasn't I

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 2>wasn't giving setting the best example for my guys. I

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>was very fortunate that the Army suspended the PT test

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>as long as they did, because I don't know if

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 2>I would have been able to make it.

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>What do you are you still in the well? You

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>said you're a veteran, So are you still What are

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>you doing?

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I got out in August?

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what do you do? What do you do now?

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>You're retired?

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Yuh sorta. I mean, retirement in the military has a

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>very specific connectation, and I'm not retired, but my compensation

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>from the VAU is almost equivalent.

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you have a you have a compensation from

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the Veterans Association. I'm going to assume that's what VA

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>stands for administration administer. Okay, I was close. I got

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>the v but not the association. And an association, by

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the way, an administration, I feel like a pretty similar anyway,

0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter what what so? So you don't so?

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 3>So?

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>How long? How long are those checks going to be

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>coming in for?

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Unless I get convicted of fraud? Theoretically for life? But again,

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Congress can do whatever they want. If the American people

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>stop giving the love they have been since nine to

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:21.679
<v Speaker 2>eleven two veterans and the electorate changes, that can change,

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 2>but for the foreseeable future, I've got that money coming in.

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well that's good. What so all right, so what

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>do you do with your time then? If you don't,

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>if you're not working.

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 2>That's a good question. I've been a little bit of

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>a shut in. I do have something cooking. I'm trying.

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm applying to a Japanese language school in Japan. I

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 2>want to get I've got a little bit of Japanese knowledge,

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 2>but it's pretty pitiful and I've been hide I see,

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 2>I see.

0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that means. What does hyde mean?

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>It means uh hi oh hi high high?

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, hi hi hi. That's cool man, that's cool.

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>So you're you're you're are you like?

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 4>So?

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Are you Are you applying to go do that in Japan? Yes?

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 2>We We had a little bit of a mix up

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.239
<v Speaker 2>with the school for an interview, so I accidentally missed

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the first interview. They've scheduled second one. So I was

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>not happy when I realized I had gotten the wrong date, well,

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 2>especially when I was very careful to confirm the time difference,

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and then I just completely missed that they shifted. It

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 2>shifted the day when they sent me a zoom link.

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 5>M hm.

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>So is this this Japanese language school thing? Is it?

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Is it part of is it? Is it a veteran

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.479
<v Speaker 1>thing or is it just like, uh, you know, a

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 1>random kind of unrelated Japanese school.

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 2>The latter, it's kind of a it's a for profit school.

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be able to pay for it with the VA,

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 2>but that's one of the things I do have going

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>for me. I have no debt, and I have between

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 2>retirement accounts and just brokerage accounts, I have about one

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:23.839
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand dollars in just straight like fairly liquid assets. Again,

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 2>I know the economy takes dump, it's gonna be less.

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>But nice, nice, and you're gonna use that to pay

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>for this Japanese school.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Now, are you hoping to like, like stay in Japan

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>at all?

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I I don't think so. Especially when I was in

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the Army, I got to go to Korea and Europe.

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 2>But one of the things, like a every for the

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 2>audience when CNN is freaking out about North Korea, ignore it.

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 2>When the whole Trump business was going down, I was

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 2>getting blackout drunk in the middle of soul. Nobody in

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>South Korea cares North Korea has been going on anyways, tangent.

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>But I've always said I'd like to live overseas for

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>a year or two, and yeah, I think, you know,

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>the living in Japan thing is a dream. And I

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 2>visited there twice and they've got some problems. I don't

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>think people realize I met Japanese Nazis both times I

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>visited Tokyo.

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Japanese Nazis.

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 2>It's more common than you would think.

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 6>Huh.

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Were they like official? I guess. I don't know how

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>official a Nazi can be, but what Japanese Nazis.

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 2>So the first time, it was a far right march,

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>like a fairly good number. Fortunately most were middle, middle

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 2>aged or older, but carrying signs that essentially said expel

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the foreigners, you know, restore the emperor and you know,

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 2>essentially remail tries.

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Japan by foreigners. Do they mean like like Americans coming

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>over there?

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 2>No, they mean literally everyone who isn't the purest of

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the pure Japanese.

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, so it's go ahead, now, you go ahead.

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's even people like the there's a large

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Korean minority within Japan that has been historically treated very

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>very very poorly, and I remember hanging out with at

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>a Japanese bar and just hearing a Japanese local say

0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 2>some inredibly offensive things about Korean.

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>M okay, this and this. When How long were you

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>in Japan for? When you were so the first time?

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 2>So the first time I went for about two weeks,

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 2>and the second time I was. It was super cool.

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I landed the day they opened up to individual tourists,

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 2>so I got interviewed on Japanese TV, which was kind

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 2>of neat, and I spent about a month and a

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 2>half just be bopping around Japan. I actually met an

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.320
<v Speaker 2>atomic bomb survivor in Nagasaki. That was wild.

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:36.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh that is wild. Was he like a when when

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>did the Nagasaki bomb drop?

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>That was August of nineteen forty five?

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Wow? How old was was this guy?

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Dude was ninety six, so he's a teenager. I can't

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 2>remember if he worked in the Mitsubishi factory, but he

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 2>handed me a little card with his story. Essentially, his

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 2>boss was like, hey, we need you to walk to site.

0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Be walked over to site B. I was walking right

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 2>behind a pillar and the bomb went off and he

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 2>was like one of two people from either sites to survive.

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Okay, so you're there for two weeks and you're

0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 1>thinking about it, and so if you went back for

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>this language school, how long would you go for?

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 2>So the maximum I could get the visas of about

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:24.080
<v Speaker 2>one year and nine months, but I figure at least

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 2>a year and again living in work or living in Japan,

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>and I have the option to have a part time job.

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I really want to be able to really increase my

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>command of Japanese. And if I get to a certain

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 2>point where I'm like, hey, I can watch my anime

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 2>without subtitles and read my manga untranslated, so like that's gravy.

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:57.320
<v Speaker 1>So I'm also kind of curious, what's your family friend

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 1>situation right now? Would you be going to like if

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you went to Japan, would you be abandoning you know,

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>anyone here? Would you still be able to have like

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 1>a support system going on? Would you have people there?

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>What's the deal?

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>So I'm single, I don't really have any brothers or

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 2>sisters in the local area I currently am. I don't

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>really have any friends. My best friend lives in a

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 2>different time zone already, although Japan will complicate that. Fair

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 2>deal and no real attachments it's been frustrating. Since I

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 2>left the house at twenty two. I've moved, on average

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>about moved or deployed on average about every year of

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>my life since then. So relationships and friends have been difficult.

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Is that like a big struggle in your life?

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I still talk to my best friend,

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 2>who I've been friends with since middle school. But again,

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 2>like he's got a wife, he's got a kid on

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 2>the way, you know, life's taken all elsewhere. He works remote,

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>so he's he and I can howk on discord while

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 2>he plays RuneScape while he's quote unquote working.

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>So you've been like moving every year since you were

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty two?

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Okay?

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Is it okay? If I asked cold you right now

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm thirty? Okay? Yeah? Do you and when you move,

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 1>do you have an easy time making friends and like

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 1>finding community where you go?

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean the army is sort of like community, just

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 2>add alcohol. But it's one of those things as soon

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 2>as you move away, you might and especially as an

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:03.199
<v Speaker 2>officer a little, especially when I got to be a captain,

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>it became very cutthroat, and I by about four years

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 2>in I was like, I don't think I'm going to

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 2>make this career. So I did something. There's a game

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.959
<v Speaker 2>and you must play it. So like going to the

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.719
<v Speaker 2>senior officer's house and being like oh, beautiful house, or

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 2>like lovely reception, but the whole thing of like why

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 2>do we need to delay this guy's orders? I'm like

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 2>he needs to get his family in order, and it's

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>like it's like, yeah, all right, sir, don't care.

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think I think moving to Japan would be exciting.

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess you weren't even talking about moving, you were

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.320
<v Speaker 1>just talking about going there for a year and nine months.

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I think it'd be cool, and it's

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>something I actually want to do. Like another benefit I

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.560
<v Speaker 2>have is a full DII bill, So that's three years

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of cool within the United States or even outside. And

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.559
<v Speaker 2>like I told everybody on my way out, my plan

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.600
<v Speaker 2>is to get an m B A and do this

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>and do this, and I'll be at a fortune five

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 2>hundred company, you know, and put that on paper when

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 2>it's just like please let me go.

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm. Do you what, Sae? Do you have an

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>ultimate dream or goal of of some kind?

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, be a billionaire and have a U

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 2>a supervillain style uh, layer laid into a mountain in

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 2>an abandoned salt mine that has apocalypse proof storage and

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 2>all that stuff.

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Ambitious.

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I like that.

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Hmm hmm. I don't know. I'm thinking. I'm thinking about

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you right now because, Uh, it's cool that you've you've moved,

0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>You've you've been able to withstand like moving every year

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of your life. And it sounds as though you know

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>it's been difficult, but that you've found good stuff every

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>time you do it. It's aspiring to me.

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>It's one of those things where it's been tough. But

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 2>there's like some folks that, like I met somebody in

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Ohio who the furthest they'd ever been away from home

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 2>was sixty miles, like over the border to Indiana. And

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 2>it's just like I've been literally all over the world,

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and I'm saying you need to do that. But if

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 2>you hate your potu ONNK Town, maybe it's time to

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 2>fire bomb your apartment and just drive.

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you would get in trouble if you

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>fire bombed your apartments.

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, probably would, but it's a nice fantasy.

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.720
<v Speaker 1>What is your name again, Mark?

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 2>And how should I address you? Mister forever Lyle mister gecko.

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>You can call me whatever you want. Man, thanks for

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>talking to me about all this stuff. This is all fascinating.

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>It makes me think about I don't know. That's what

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I really like about doing this show is I feel

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>like I get to learn about so many people's lives

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and how they deal with whatever the fuck is going

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>on with them. And you know, I appreciate you talking

0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 1>about all this.

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, no worries. I appreciate you picking up the phone.

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything else you want to say to the

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 1>people of the computer before we go?

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:49.400

<v Speaker 1>Who is this?

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 3>My name's Rain.

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>What's going on right? How you doing? You know?

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:14.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm I'm all right. I just found out that I

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 3>didn't get a job that I really wanted, So I'm

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 3>a little bummed.

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>What was the job?

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 3>A dog trainer?

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>A dog trainer?

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 1>What were you trying to train the dogs to do?

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.399
<v Speaker 3>All kinds of things? But yeah, most basic obedience and

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:34.160
<v Speaker 3>stuff like that.

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, is it is it wrong to train dogs?

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:40.159
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Should we just let them misbehave because it's in their nature?

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 3>It's actually not so dogs love to work.

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:51.640
<v Speaker 1>M hmm.

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So dogs love to work, and so if you

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 3>give them like purpose, it kind of helps them to

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 3>to grow more pinality and kind of share more of

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.880
<v Speaker 3>a bond with her own nurse. So it actually helps

0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot.

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:10.399
<v Speaker 1>I feel like by the way I I, I, you know,

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it sounds as though what you're saying comes

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:18.199
<v Speaker 1>from like an educated place, But anecdotally, anecdotally, I have

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a dog that's my parents' dog, is not my dog,

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 1>but and that dog does not like to work. That

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 1>dog likes to sit and do absolutely nothing as much

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.960
<v Speaker 1>as she possibly can. Would she would she be happier

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>if she worked? Probably? Yeah, I mean I, I, you know,

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I spend lots of time sitting around doing absolutely nothing.

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Then I'd probably be happy if I spent it, uh

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 1>going on walks or trying to you know, build a

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 1>church or whatever. Yeah.

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 3>That's what they say, is like doing things like walking

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.959
<v Speaker 3>and stuff helps with like your mental health and stuff.

0:18:56.000 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 3>But I don't personally do it myself. I myself is

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:03.400
<v Speaker 3>just a little bit lazy.

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:08.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, so you did Why are you so you're

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 1>upset that you didn't get this job? How many different

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.679
<v Speaker 1>door It sounds like dogs are like your thing. How

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 1>many different dog jobs did you apply for?

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 3>I've applied for quite a few. So I currently work

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 3>at a big chain store as a trainer. But it's

0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 3>kind of the worst job I've ever ever experienced, not

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 3>the job that I do. I love training and I

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 3>love teaching people and helping them with their dogs. But

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:39.720
<v Speaker 3>I definitely have applied for many, many positions for training

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:43.240
<v Speaker 3>at like like big like board and train places that

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:47.880
<v Speaker 3>are a little bit more professional than I would say

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.639
<v Speaker 3>a pet smart is okay?

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>In what way is not to put pets smart on blast?

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:54.920
<v Speaker 5>Well?

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 1>What way are they unprofessional?

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:04.440
<v Speaker 3>Managers? The managers they're they're not very they like to

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 3>pick on everyone, and they kind of are just not

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 3>very good people. And I've been a manager before, so, like, like,

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I was a retail manager beforehand, and I've done all

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.919
<v Speaker 3>kinds of things. Honestly, I was a stripper at one point.

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:26.680
<v Speaker 3>But you know, so I have definitely met better managers

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:32.159
<v Speaker 3>in my days, and these managers are just there, almost evil.

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I would say, what evil? You say, what like, well, okay,

0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel like they're evil?

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, my one box.

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 3>She just seems to find every little thing and point

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 3>it out, but in the worst way possible. So she'll

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:54.439
<v Speaker 3>make you feel like you are worthless when she's got you.

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.879
<v Speaker 3>And it's just not you know, I was a manager before,

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 3>and the way you handle talking to people, not making

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.479
<v Speaker 3>them feel like they're the worst thing in the world,

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 3>sounds like you did.

0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:09.639
<v Speaker 1>I just hear a dog bark.

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've got four of them.

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.119
<v Speaker 1>That sounds that sounds if you If you told me

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 1>you had four dogs, I'd hire you for any kind

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.679
<v Speaker 1>of dog training thing. I feel like that's objective evidence

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.359
<v Speaker 1>that you know how to take care of dogs. Okay,

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 1>why do you you know? You know?

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:24.639
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Why do you Why do you think this person fucking

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:31.360
<v Speaker 1>is so evil to you?

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:38.479
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, I think she's unhappy. Yeah, she's overall unhappy in

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 3>her daily life, and I think that it's something that

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 3>she just doesn't know how to help herself with. And

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.159
<v Speaker 3>I think that the way she handles it is just

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.639
<v Speaker 3>by tin picking people who she just doesn't.

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.120
<v Speaker 5>Like and I'm very I will say I'm very I stand.

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Up for myself. So I will never work in a

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 3>place where I think that, you know, I I that

0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:04.160
<v Speaker 3>I can't stand up and say hey, that's not right.

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 3>So I'm very open and I'll tell her things like, hey,

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.879
<v Speaker 3>this isn't okay. And because I do that, and because

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 3>I bring up like issues that she's not handling, because

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.639
<v Speaker 3>she just wants to let it ride, you know, and

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 3>just kind of ignore it. Because I bring up the

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:26.439
<v Speaker 3>issues that she kind of dusts under the rugs. I

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 3>don't think she is very happy about that, and so

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 3>she takes a lot of shots at me. I got

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 3>a rid okay right up for being unorganized, you.

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:38.959
<v Speaker 1>Got to ride up for being over all.

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:43.280
<v Speaker 1>So she's unhappy, so she starts, you know, taking it

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 1>out on another folks. Uh, And you're then that makes

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 1>you unhappy, so you're like, oh am, I gonna put

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 1>up with this shit. So you tell her that she's

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.680
<v Speaker 1>doing so she's sucking up, and that just pisses her off,

0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 1>so she starts to do more things that you are

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:06.400
<v Speaker 1>not exactly Uh huh are you still at this job?

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:10.639
<v Speaker 3>I am? Yeah. I love the people I teach and

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.200
<v Speaker 3>the classes that I do. So like, I go in

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:17.120
<v Speaker 3>and I really try to focus on the pet parents

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 3>and the dogs who come in to see me and

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 3>specifically me, which is why it's so hard to leave,

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 3>because I still have classes that are going on right now,

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:28.639
<v Speaker 3>you know. So it's like one of those things really

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 3>difficult to just pick up and leave all your people

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 3>who you're kind of teaching and helping. You know, these

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:39.159
<v Speaker 3>people have dogs who are aggressive or you know, jumpers,

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:43.439
<v Speaker 3>or just overall like anxiety and stuff. And one of

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.920
<v Speaker 3>my big things is to help teach dogs who came

0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:49.640
<v Speaker 3>from like the shelter, you know, who have a rough

0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:51.919
<v Speaker 3>life and who have all those behavioral issues. That's my

0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 3>big passion is to help those guys. And so it's

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 3>really hard for me to just walk out of this

0:23:56.400 --> 0:24:00.439
<v Speaker 3>job because you know, I have those those connects to

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 3>those people.

0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, what's your name again, Rain? Just like the rain, Rain, Rain, Look,

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:17.119
<v Speaker 1>I look up. I could tell you this. It sounds

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 1>as though you, I mean, clearly you have a passion

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 1>for dogs, and look, I feel like even if you

0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't get this one job, I think that passion for

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:34.800
<v Speaker 1>dogs will lend you into something. I mean there's at

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:42.480
<v Speaker 1>least Look, there is at least ten thousand dogs, so

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 1>there's probably at least how many dogs. How many work

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.360
<v Speaker 1>with me here? How many dog jobs do you think

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 1>there are? Per amount of dogs that exist.

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:57.439
<v Speaker 3>In the world, There's got to be a good amount

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 3>compared to the dogs I feel okay around the world.

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 3>I feel like it's hard to some pop impoverished places

0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 3>or places like Korea or places where they sell dog

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 3>meat and stuff like that, Like it's really hard.

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>So and and and I assume, and I assume when

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 1>you say that you want to do a job with dogs,

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 1>selling dog meat.

0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 3>Is not Yeah, it's hard to one of those.

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, so not so we're not including those

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 1>dog jobs. Technically those are technically those are dog jobs.

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 1>They're not the ideal ones under but undeniably they are.

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:35.719
<v Speaker 1>They are dog they are jobs working with dogs.

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, very true.

0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:42.880
<v Speaker 3>I would a good amount compared to the amount.

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Of dogs that there are.

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:50.920
<v Speaker 3>You know this bets. There's trainers, there's dog fitters, there's groomers.

0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Mhm. So I mean, listen, I'm sure you'll I am

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I am uh I guess just from talking to you,

0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I I'm pretty confident you'll be able to find uh

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a job that involves dogs that doesn't involve you know,

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>killing them and selling them. Yeah, and involves the opposite,

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 1>In fact, involves the opposite taken care of them so

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>that they do not die. So I think you'll be okay,

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know. Thank you I needed okay.

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:28.160

<v Speaker 4>One time, long long ago and you were getting raided

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:25.119
<v Speaker 4>and I was telling you the story about one of

0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:28.200
<v Speaker 4>my shitty neighbors and you're very tired.

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, I'm not tired right now. I'm full of

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 1>energy and ready to accept whatever it is you have

0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>called in to tell me.

0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Nice.

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I uh, I don't have anything to tell me you.

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 4>No, I do. I do. I have a pretty stressful job.

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, my wife's pregnant. I have a twenty one

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 4>month old baby, and I don't get a lot of

0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 4>time to around and do stupid stuff like I used to.

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 1>What kind of stupid stuff did you used to do?

0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 4>I go out in miller woods, gone in the middle

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 4>of nowhere for like ten hours or so, just wake

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 4>up super early, get really far out there and just

0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 4>have nothing around or things like that.

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's see, you have a wife and children, and

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately your wife and children have impeded your ability to

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:34.560
<v Speaker 1>go out deep into the woods alone for ten hours

0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and fall asleep with nothing.

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 4>No, but it's okay, it's good. But I found something new.

0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Did you bring a did you bring a sleeping bag

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 1>or was just just you?

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 4>I would have a firearm and a GPS tool in

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 4>the backpack with some goodies. I wouldn't sleep, I just

0:29:57.000 --> 0:29:57.640
<v Speaker 4>go walk around.

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Hmmm. I mean, have you ever do you know what

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:04.360
<v Speaker 1>camping is?

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:06.520
<v Speaker 4>I do know what camping is.

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay. Some people take their families camping, which is

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:12.240
<v Speaker 1>a version of what you did.

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 4>I could do it, but I try to take a

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:19.080
<v Speaker 4>pregnant person camping would seem like they wouldn't enjoy it much.

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 4>They're constant discomfort.

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 1>H Okay, So you have a twenty one. How old

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 1>are you?

0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm thirty three.

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Nice? Okay, you're like you're you see, you seem like

0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a healthy, normal adult man. You kind of seem like

0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the guy that would pop up if I googled man

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 1>and went to Google images.

0:30:45.960 --> 0:30:48.080
<v Speaker 4>Maybe. I guess it depends.

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you consider yourself a healthy adult man?

0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 4>Mm? Well, I guess so. Yeah, I'm pretty. My job

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 4>is stressful, and I just I don't sleep much and

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:03.800
<v Speaker 4>that's I guess that's all normal stuff.

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.560
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, well, what do you do for work?

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 4>I am a veterinarian.

<v Speaker 1>You're a veterinarian, so you dude, you're yeah, you know,

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't sleep too if my job was to kill

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:21.440
<v Speaker 1>dogs all day. That's your job, right, is to kill

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:22.160
<v Speaker 1>dogs all day?

0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 4>And that is a part of it.

0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Tell me, honestly, how many Okay, guys, I know the

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 1>whole idea of a veteran is if you're you're supposed

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to save dogs, right true, on a daily basis, how

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 1>many dogs do you kill? And how many dogs do

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you say?

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 4>I guess kill would be zero to four?

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Dave, I.

0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 4>I guess defined save like that something's dying and then

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 4>stop it from dying. Yes, I did that today. That

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:06.360
<v Speaker 4>was fun.

0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, do you kill any dogs today?

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 4>I did?

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:12.320
<v Speaker 1>How many dogs do you kill?

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 4>One?

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 1>So you really didn't do anything today?

0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:19.600
<v Speaker 4>Zero zero?

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Does it work like that in your brain? Like at

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:27.160
<v Speaker 1>the end of a day, do for every dog you saved?

0:32:27.200 --> 0:32:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Does that negate a dog that you kill or are

0:32:29.400 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>those like two just separate things in your brain?

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:39.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh, you gotta put points upon the scoreboard. No, I'm kidding.

0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:42.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm kidding. I don't even see it as killing something.

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 4>It's like this thing is suffering so immensely. It's like

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:47.440
<v Speaker 4>a mercy.

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 1>That's hardcore, you know what. That's what Thanos thought too

0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:55.880
<v Speaker 1>when he was snapping people away.

0:32:56.640 --> 0:33:00.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god. I explained the plot line of Banos

0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 4>to my dad one time and he said, oh, that makes.

0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Sense, Bro, That's the thing. I feel like. That's how

0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:09.320
<v Speaker 1>half the people who see that movie come out they kind.

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 4>Of getting, Yeah, that would work.

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna say I don't get what Thanos was

0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 1>going for. I don't think it was a good I

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think in practice it was a good idea. But

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I get what he was going for.

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:23.520
<v Speaker 4>The series is good. It sounds.

0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I mean, yeah, dude, you kill dogs for

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 1>a living, you're gonna be stressed out in that sleep.

0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:35.479
<v Speaker 4>But my wife on Easter bought our baby this bubble

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 4>set and it makes these fucking gigantic bubbles and it

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 4>has inspired something in me. And now if I'm not

0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 4>making bubbles, I'm spending at least two hours a day

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:55.800
<v Speaker 4>thinking about making bubbles.

0:33:57.240 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you like so much about the bubbles?

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 4>The bubbles they're huge first off, and then when you're

0:34:05.480 --> 0:34:07.520
<v Speaker 4>making them with like the two sticks and a stream,

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 4>you get a look inside of them and they're like

0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:14.719
<v Speaker 4>a morphous and they got this kind of they're kind

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:17.680
<v Speaker 4>of alive window outside and they wabble around and they

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:20.760
<v Speaker 4>get really long, and they snap into these little, not little,

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 4>the gigantic circles and they're just kind of floating around.

0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:27.359
<v Speaker 4>Then it is it is so fun to see. It's

0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 4>like relaxing.

0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Mm hm, you've you've regressed into a childlike state of wonder.

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:41.200
<v Speaker 4>Dude. I researched making my own bubble solutions to make

0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:43.840
<v Speaker 4>bigger bubbles that last longer.

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:45.480
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome.

0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:50.680
<v Speaker 4>What did you find glycerin? It's like a plant based

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:54.000
<v Speaker 4>hand moisturizing thing. I bought like a gallon of it

0:34:54.040 --> 0:34:56.239
<v Speaker 4>on Amazon. I mix it with normal bubble solutions. You

0:34:56.280 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 4>can put corn stars in there, you let it sit overnight.

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Then you have a park next to my house and

0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 4>there's a big grass field with a hill next to it,

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 4>and I stand on top of that hill and I

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:10.799
<v Speaker 4>just launch these gigantic bubbles out into the ether.

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:15.040
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of awesome. It sounds you sound like you

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 1>have a good life.

0:35:16.960 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah I do. I think.

0:35:18.360 --> 0:35:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you kill dogs and have a baby and low bubbles.

0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 1>That sounds true. It sounds like you again. You seem

0:35:29.280 --> 0:35:34.279
<v Speaker 1>like a normal, healthy adult male me at least in

0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 1>my eyes. Man, at least to my eyes, I don't.

0:35:36.320 --> 0:35:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not hearing anything dire from you. And I'm not

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:41.719
<v Speaker 1>saying that to minimize the issues. I'm saying that, no,

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:43.919
<v Speaker 1>hopefully make you see the same thing.

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:48.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, one hundred percent. I want to take my bubble

0:35:49.120 --> 0:35:52.799
<v Speaker 4>wand and everything, and I want to sit outside of

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:55.320
<v Speaker 4>a music festival and just make these gigantic bubbles for

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:58.040
<v Speaker 4>people who are tripping and just watch the enjoyment on

0:35:58.080 --> 0:36:00.879
<v Speaker 4>their face. And that's my dream right now.

0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:04.120
<v Speaker 1>That sounds awesome, man. I like that. You ever take

0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 1>it to a music festival.

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:12.319

<v Speaker 4>the entire god En Day playing with her Easter bubble.

0:36:33.920 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome, man. Do you do you blow I know

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, I haven't. I call it bubble juice,

0:37:06.600 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 4>Actually bubble juice, but that's not that's more of just

0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:09.840
<v Speaker 4>a descriptor of anything.

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Dude. What if you injected that ship into a dog

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:14.839

<v Speaker 1>outsider looking in, I think your life has improved since then.

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:55.680
<v Speaker 4>You're probably right. You know what they don't tell you

0:37:55.719 --> 0:38:00.840

<v Speaker 1>Hold on office sneeze. Yeah, you're beating yourself up. You're

0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>beating yourself up over a ship that you haven't even

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:26.239
<v Speaker 1>had the opportunity to do yet. You're beating yourself up

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:29.280
<v Speaker 1>for not contributing enough to the life of a baby

0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:33.600
<v Speaker 1>that has not even been born. Yet, give yourself creak.

0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:34.680
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:37.080
<v Speaker 4>It'sn't even beating myself up. It's just like a little nag,

0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:41.719
<v Speaker 4>like like a like a like a little ringing, and

0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:44.120
<v Speaker 4>you think about it sometimes and then you bloil bubbles

0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:45.400
<v Speaker 4>and everything floats away.

0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Some people, I don't know if this has happened in

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:52.120
<v Speaker 1>your office. Some people they have a baby and then

0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:55.960
<v Speaker 1>they just abandon it on the door of a vet's

0:40:55.960 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>office and oh my god, I have the vet take

0:41:00.520 --> 0:41:04.560
<v Speaker 1>in the baby. Some people just abandon their children in

0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:09.400
<v Speaker 1>dumpsters and never speak to them again. I want you

0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:10.759
<v Speaker 1>to make that. I want you to go ahead and

0:41:10.760 --> 0:41:13.840
<v Speaker 1>make that. You're new, you make that your baseline. Right.

0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:15.839
<v Speaker 4>I haven't abandoned her.

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:19.320
<v Speaker 1>You have not abandoned You did not throw your baby

<v Speaker 1>in the garbage. Oh god, that's your baseline, dude, Right.

0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:27.919
<v Speaker 4>There is something else that happens when you have a baby.

0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:34.759
<v Speaker 4>Tell me as for everybody, your o CD comes out

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:36.680
<v Speaker 4>like I have this OCD. I used to have it

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:39.840
<v Speaker 4>when I was a kid. We're all knock on wood constantly.

0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:45.200
<v Speaker 4>If I have I have like intrusive thoughts. Fucking christ, dude.

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:47.719
<v Speaker 4>The first two months she was born, I feel like

0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:05.520

<v Speaker 5>Okay, I beginning of last year started to have a

0:46:20.880 --> 0:46:29.400
<v Speaker 5>conniption where I started to for the first time, starts

0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:34.640
<v Speaker 5>randomly having moments where I feel like I'm not on

0:46:34.680 --> 0:46:37.200
<v Speaker 5>the right path and it's sucking me up.

0:46:39.920 --> 0:46:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, last year, you had a caniption, like you had

0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:44.480
<v Speaker 1>a medical is is a conniption a medical term?

0:46:44.640 --> 0:46:44.839
<v Speaker 3>You had?

0:46:45.000 --> 0:46:47.520
<v Speaker 1>You had like your brain went weird.

0:46:47.960 --> 0:46:51.120
<v Speaker 5>That's what a conniption is, right medically.

0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:57.960
<v Speaker 1>But yes, okay, so your brain went weird and you

0:46:58.000 --> 0:46:59.440
<v Speaker 1>feel like you're not on the right path?

0:47:00.800 --> 0:47:01.240
<v Speaker 5>Correct?

0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh what tell me? What path are you on?

0:47:04.520 --> 0:47:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:11.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm taking the the typical route, going to college and

0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:12.040
<v Speaker 5>then I'm getting a job.

0:47:12.600 --> 0:47:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Like.

0:47:17.719 --> 0:47:25.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm studying journalism currently and it's I'm always have wanted

0:47:25.040 --> 0:47:30.399
<v Speaker 5>to be a journalist, but now that I'm here, I'm

0:47:30.400 --> 0:47:34.360
<v Speaker 5>a I'm a sophomore. When I was afraid, was so

0:47:35.360 --> 0:47:40.080
<v Speaker 5>passionate about it, and beginning of last semester, I think

0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:45.680
<v Speaker 5>I started to uh, like more chat more obstacles were

0:47:45.680 --> 0:47:47.640
<v Speaker 5>at it, Like I wasn't just doing school, like like

0:47:47.719 --> 0:47:50.600
<v Speaker 5>I have an actual job. I had a new relationship,

0:47:51.840 --> 0:47:53.759
<v Speaker 5>and I'm like trying to balance all of those with

0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:57.560
<v Speaker 5>also being social. And I think that is what made

0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:01.399
<v Speaker 5>me start questioning everything that I was doing.

0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:04.800
<v Speaker 1>In a way then inspired the connection you just trying

0:48:04.840 --> 0:48:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to live a balanced life inspired a conniption.

0:48:09.360 --> 0:48:12.040
<v Speaker 5>It did, But Bru said before, I wasn't balancing so

0:48:12.120 --> 0:48:14.279
<v Speaker 5>many things, and then it was just like it was

0:48:14.320 --> 0:48:19.680
<v Speaker 5>just chaos. Yeah, I'm doing much this semester, but unpacking

0:48:19.800 --> 0:48:22.400
<v Speaker 5>last semester is troublesome.

0:48:23.120 --> 0:48:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Love well, life's are fucking I mean, it's crazy how

0:48:26.080 --> 0:48:28.920
<v Speaker 1>many things you're a parent. I don't I don't know

0:48:28.960 --> 0:48:33.000
<v Speaker 1>how to be a normal human being because I don't

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:36.560
<v Speaker 1>like my apartment has fucking dust bunnies on it and

0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:40.000
<v Speaker 1>ship but like the checklist of a normal of of

0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:44.839
<v Speaker 1>what the societal normal human being is, right whatever, Educated

0:48:45.000 --> 0:48:49.719
<v Speaker 1>with a job and a relationship and you know, laundry

0:48:50.440 --> 0:48:55.120
<v Speaker 1>done and friends and you know, reads the news whatever

0:48:55.160 --> 0:49:03.200
<v Speaker 1>it like like completing everything on the uh supposed societal

0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:07.239
<v Speaker 1>todem whatever the fuck is hard. You know, doing a

0:49:07.680 --> 0:49:11.200
<v Speaker 1>balancing all these things you're talking about is difficult, is

0:49:12.239 --> 0:49:14.400
<v Speaker 1>all right? So but you said you were having trouble

0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:15.840
<v Speaker 1>with it last year and you're not having trouble with it

0:49:15.880 --> 0:49:18.240
<v Speaker 1>this year. What tell me about the presence?

0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:22.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? So currently I feel like I need to have

0:49:22.600 --> 0:49:27.840
<v Speaker 5>some kind of like I need to start doing internships

0:49:27.840 --> 0:49:31.600
<v Speaker 5>and stuff. Okay, for my major, in order to have

0:49:31.640 --> 0:49:35.160
<v Speaker 5>like a job after college, I need internships. But in

0:49:35.239 --> 0:49:38.319
<v Speaker 5>order to get internships, they want me to have previous experience.

0:49:38.840 --> 0:49:41.840
<v Speaker 5>And I feel like it's just this never ending cycle

0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:44.840
<v Speaker 5>of like.

0:49:43.600 --> 0:49:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Like fuck, what what tell me?

<v Speaker 1>What is like? Do you have an ultimate goal for?

0:49:52.480 --> 0:49:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Like what do you want you? Okay, I said you

0:49:53.960 --> 0:49:56.440
<v Speaker 1>were into journalism. Are you still into journalism?

0:49:57.360 --> 0:49:59.440

<v Speaker 5>show I write for like school newspaper, and it's really

0:50:04.520 --> 0:50:06.480
<v Speaker 5>and I enjoy it. But I definitely don't write for

0:50:06.520 --> 0:50:11.759
<v Speaker 5>the newspaper as often because it's such a it feels

0:50:11.800 --> 0:50:13.960
<v Speaker 5>like such a task. But I mean writing is an

0:50:13.960 --> 0:50:14.759
<v Speaker 5>all journalism't it?

0:50:14.840 --> 0:50:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So do you what is it? What do you

0:50:17.320 --> 0:50:20.440
<v Speaker 1>ultimately like want to do? You have like a career

0:50:20.520 --> 0:50:22.520
<v Speaker 1>in mind that you would like to pursue or like

<v Speaker 1>was twenty, and I worked for a kid who was old,

0:52:28.120 --> 0:52:32.040
<v Speaker 1>just a one year older than me, and he had

0:52:32.080 --> 0:52:35.080
<v Speaker 1>a whole fuck he was twenty, was like not even

0:52:35.120 --> 0:52:37.799
<v Speaker 1>that much. He was used like pretty your age, and

0:52:37.880 --> 0:52:44.920
<v Speaker 1>he did this company where he was like consulting businesses

0:52:44.920 --> 0:52:47.560
<v Speaker 1>on marketing and social media and stuff, and you know,

0:52:48.280 --> 0:52:52.120
<v Speaker 1>he he he didn't know any more than than you do.

0:52:52.239 --> 0:52:55.120
<v Speaker 1>He just did. He just did the thing, you know,

0:52:55.840 --> 0:52:58.080
<v Speaker 1>just put himself out there. He had the courage to

0:52:58.120 --> 0:53:01.239

<v Speaker 1>right now. Like you don't have to wait for permission

0:53:06.880 --> 0:53:11.000
<v Speaker 1>for somebody to give you that. Do you know what

0:53:11.040 --> 0:53:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. I don't know. I don't know if that

0:53:13.200 --> 0:53:15.480
<v Speaker 1>idea has crept into your head or if it's a

0:53:15.480 --> 0:53:22.760
<v Speaker 1>helpful idea for you. No, this is good mhm, because

0:53:22.800 --> 0:53:25.719
<v Speaker 1>like having a social media marketing business is again something

<v Speaker 1>you could do right now. You can Well, first of all,

<v Speaker 1>TikTok okay, because you could go on TikTok right now

0:53:42.840 --> 0:53:46.200
<v Speaker 1>and just start making you know, I mean, I find

0:53:46.239 --> 0:53:47.719
<v Speaker 1>an interesting way to do it because the's a lot

0:53:47.719 --> 0:53:50.520
<v Speaker 1>of people that do this stuff, but you know, talk

0:53:50.560 --> 0:53:58.120
<v Speaker 1>about trends or just use your expertise to make videos

0:53:58.800 --> 0:54:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and then go to every dentist's office in your local

0:54:04.239 --> 0:54:07.480
<v Speaker 1>municipality and be like, hey, you want me to be

0:54:07.560 --> 0:54:11.000
<v Speaker 1>your social media manager for so you can get more

0:54:11.160 --> 0:54:13.320
<v Speaker 1>teeth money. I mean, you can just do that right now.

0:54:13.960 --> 0:54:18.520
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to wait for uh, you know, anyone

0:54:18.560 --> 0:54:19.960
<v Speaker 1>should give you permission to do that.

0:54:22.400 --> 0:54:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:54:23.120 --> 0:54:25.399
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna make the problems that here's what I'm gonna

0:54:25.400 --> 0:54:27.839
<v Speaker 1>tell you if you take that route, which I think

0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you should.

0:54:31.640 --> 0:54:35.480
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I like build a brand like Yeah.

0:54:34.800 --> 0:54:37.080
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna make the problems that we were talking about

0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:43.839
<v Speaker 1>earlier about about one hundred thousand times worse. And and

0:54:43.960 --> 0:54:45.919
<v Speaker 1>actually now I'm thinking about now, I'm thinking about nothing.

0:54:46.000 --> 0:54:47.799
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm thinking about it. No, I'm thinking about it

0:54:48.640 --> 0:54:50.200
<v Speaker 1>because it will make the problems you were just talking

0:54:50.239 --> 0:54:52.640
<v Speaker 1>about one hundred thousand thimes worse. It might not be

0:54:53.560 --> 0:54:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the best lifestyle fit for you to like run your

0:54:57.600 --> 0:54:59.960
<v Speaker 1>own business, and that's okay. If it's not, you might

0:55:00.120 --> 0:55:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you might, just as a human being, be happier working

0:55:03.640 --> 0:55:07.319
<v Speaker 1>for somebody else's thing. But you should not. But you

0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:10.160
<v Speaker 1>should try it all. You should try both of those

0:55:10.880 --> 0:55:14.880
<v Speaker 1>so that you can figure out which situation would make

0:55:14.960 --> 0:55:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you happier. Right, does that makes What do you think

0:55:22.440 --> 0:55:23.560
<v Speaker 1>about what I'm saying to you?

0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:30.359
<v Speaker 5>I like what you're saying. I feel like you're I'm

0:55:30.360 --> 0:55:33.640
<v Speaker 5>because I'm also thinking about how I like the idea,

0:55:33.840 --> 0:55:36.880
<v Speaker 5>like it's not I want like I think I'm finally

0:55:36.920 --> 0:55:39.960
<v Speaker 5>starting to manage having this balanced life, like for the

0:55:40.000 --> 0:55:44.279
<v Speaker 5>first time, sure, throwing new things.

0:55:44.040 --> 0:55:44.520
<v Speaker 2>In the mix.

0:55:44.920 --> 0:55:52.799
<v Speaker 1>All right, good, I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, you're

0:55:52.880 --> 0:55:53.919
<v Speaker 1>you could be a market dude.

0:55:54.000 --> 0:55:54.160
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:55:54.239 --> 0:55:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Look you sooner or later you're gonna be up there

0:55:56.280 --> 0:55:59.640
<v Speaker 1>with fucking Gary Vee and Tony Robbins yelling at people

0:55:59.640 --> 0:56:02.879
<v Speaker 1>about how they're not making enough YouTube shorts and those

0:56:02.880 --> 0:56:06.640
<v Speaker 1>people people will you know, they'll give you money.

0:56:07.640 --> 0:56:13.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there's also the worry in being a shitty journalist.

0:56:13.880 --> 0:56:15.840
<v Speaker 5>But I know I'm not going to be a shitty journalist.

0:56:15.960 --> 0:56:17.640
<v Speaker 1>But what do you mean a shitty What do you

0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:18.719
<v Speaker 1>mean a shitty journalist?

0:56:30.800 --> 0:56:41.319
<v Speaker 1>coming from? I don't know, Because here's another thing. If

0:56:41.360 --> 0:56:45.520
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to write, like you could start a you know, well,

0:56:45.560 --> 0:56:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess now there's like medium or I'm just saying everything.

0:56:50.239 --> 0:56:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I just want you to know because in like the

0:56:53.160 --> 0:56:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the arts stuff. And I've talked to people about this

0:56:55.440 --> 0:56:58.360
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast a bunch, like if you want to

0:56:58.400 --> 0:57:02.040
<v Speaker 1>be a journalist or a social media person like and

0:57:02.040 --> 0:57:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and I understand that there's a lot of value in

0:57:04.120 --> 0:57:07.279
<v Speaker 1>getting internships, and you should because you know it's but

0:57:07.840 --> 0:57:10.080
<v Speaker 1>these are all things you could just you could just do.

0:57:10.200 --> 0:57:13.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to ask somebody for permission to write something.

0:57:13.680 --> 0:57:17.040
<v Speaker 1>You can just go and write it and post it

0:57:17.080 --> 0:57:20.480
<v Speaker 1>on Medium or talk about it on TikTok, and all

0:57:20.520 --> 0:57:23.280
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, you're a journalist. There's there's motherfuckers with

0:57:23.320 --> 0:57:27.800
<v Speaker 1>these YouTube channels where they like like, I watched an

0:57:27.920 --> 0:57:32.640
<v Speaker 1>hour long YouTube video about the fucking Nickelodeon Hotel the

0:57:32.720 --> 0:57:35.800
<v Speaker 1>other day. Yeah, do you know what I'm talking about?

0:57:35.840 --> 0:57:37.920
<v Speaker 1>The guy who makes that that guy, that guy didn't

0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that guy just that guy's a journalist. He did a

0:57:40.000 --> 0:57:43.200
<v Speaker 1>fucking investigative report about the Nickelodeon Hotel. He didn't go

0:57:43.280 --> 0:57:45.600
<v Speaker 1>to CNN and say, hey, can I write about the

0:57:45.680 --> 0:57:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Nickelodeon Hotel, because if he did, they would have said no.

0:57:49.200 --> 0:57:52.080
<v Speaker 1>So he just did the report and he made it.

0:57:52.160 --> 0:57:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Now he's a journalist and asking them for permission. You know,

0:57:54.480 --> 0:57:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and I just want you to know that you can

0:57:56.960 --> 0:58:00.480
<v Speaker 1>do that if you want to, Right.

0:58:01.360 --> 0:58:07.920
<v Speaker 5>I just take my own path, yes.

0:58:06.000 --> 0:58:08.360
<v Speaker 1>But I also want you I also we should be

0:58:08.360 --> 0:58:11.200
<v Speaker 1>aware of the fact, just because you know you wanted

0:58:11.240 --> 0:58:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to talk about balance, that the guy who made that

0:58:15.040 --> 0:58:18.640
<v Speaker 1>one hour YouTube video about the Nickelodeon hotel almost certainly

0:58:18.680 --> 0:58:22.800
<v Speaker 1>destroyed his life in the process. He almost certainly several

0:58:22.840 --> 0:58:30.760
<v Speaker 1>times neglected his wife and children to you know, because

0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:37.360
<v Speaker 1>he was getting emails from somebody who had found lost

0:58:37.520 --> 0:58:41.640
<v Speaker 1>decals of Tommy Pickles. That was useful information to him,

0:58:41.680 --> 0:58:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and he missed plenty of important life events because of it.

0:58:46.240 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 1>But he did it, and he didn't ask anyone for

0:58:48.680 --> 0:58:52.040
<v Speaker 1>permission to make his Nickelodeonal health video, even though it

0:58:52.040 --> 0:58:54.720
<v Speaker 1>almost certainly destroyed his life. So I just want you

0:58:54.760 --> 0:58:57.880
<v Speaker 1>to know that you could do that and fuck up

0:58:57.920 --> 0:59:01.000
<v Speaker 1>your balance to achieve your dreams.

0:59:01.840 --> 0:59:02.080
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:59:04.480 --> 0:59:06.200
<v Speaker 1>What was this conversation helpful to you at all?

0:59:07.880 --> 0:59:12.120
<v Speaker 5>While it was helpful to me. I at you as

0:59:12.160 --> 0:59:16.840
<v Speaker 5>we're talking because it's trusting me out.

0:59:17.680 --> 0:59:18.960
<v Speaker 1>But Gwen, is there anything else you want to say

0:59:18.960 --> 0:59:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to the people of the computer before we go.

0:59:22.280 --> 0:59:26.360
<v Speaker 5>Just have a great evening and hope everyone is feeling

0:59:26.400 --> 0:59:27.640
<v Speaker 5>good and doing well.

0:59:33.120 --> 0:59:34.880
<v Speaker 1>was I was trying to make a point when I

0:59:34.920 --> 0:59:38.040
<v Speaker 1>was talked about he got an email about lost decals

0:59:38.080 --> 0:59:41.000
<v Speaker 1>on a It felt clunky, though, but you guys understood

0:59:41.240 --> 0:59:44.640
<v Speaker 1>what I was trying to say. Sometimes I'm clunky. Sometimes

0:59:44.680 --> 0:59:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I suck. I don't know why I'm being hard on myself.

0:59:49.400 --> 0:59:52.320
