1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome, Hi, Welcome to gek mail. It is a

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: thing that I started doing recently where instead of having

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: a two way conversation with another person anonymously on the phone,

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: which is what I typically do on my show, I

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: have a one way conversation with myself. How lonely, how desolate.

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: But you know what, It's fine because I also have

7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: emails that I'm going to read. A lot of people

8
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: have sent me emails. I made an Instagram story I said,

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: everyone sends an email to therapy geckomail at gmail dot

10
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: com with whatever, with the stuff that's going on. And

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: I am excited today to read these emails. I got

12
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: so many notifications which gave my brain a lot of opamine,

13
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: and so I'm ready to read some people's emails. Before

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: we do that, I want to say thank you to

15
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: everyone who came out to my tour in twenty twenty four.

16
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm finally done. I have no pending tour dates. I

17
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: don't know when I'll go back on the road. I

18
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: don't know if I'll go on the road in twenty

19
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: twenty five. I might take a long break to kind

20
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: of reevaluate what the hell I'm gonna do. With my life.

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: But if you came and you said what's up, and

22
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, thank you very much for doing that.

23
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: And I actually I'm inspired to keep doing this get

24
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: mail segment because a lot of people when I do

25
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: like a meet and grade after all my shows, and

26
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people came up to me at the

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: meet and greets and told me that they like the

28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: viewer mail thing and to keep doing it. And so

29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, and that felt good because normally,

30
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: when you're recording a podcast or doing anything on the internet,

31
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: it's just all youse his numbers, and you kind of

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: use those numbers to determine whether or not people like something.

33
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: But then you know, a guy named Jeff with like

34
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: a face and stuff will say out of his mouth

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: to you, hey, I listen. Hey, I am a human

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: being and I listen to your viewer mail thing, and

37
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: you should keep doing it. And I'm like, oh, look

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: at this guy. He's made of flesh and bone and

39
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: he listens to the viewer mail segment. So thank you

40
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: Jeff listening to this viewer mail segment. I appreciate you.

41
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: Anything else, I'm feeling good, I'm off a normally I'm

42
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: off a Celsius, but today I'm off a diet Mountain dew.

43
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: It's got about ninety one milligrams of caffeine, which is

44
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: enough to which is enough to read these emails. So

45
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna read these emails. Let's

46
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: start reading some emails, all right. First email is from Ashley.

47
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: The subject line is words for the geck. Am I

48
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: a whore? Okay? I have wanted to call in and

49
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: I would love to chat about my current love life situation.

50
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: I have been with a guy for ten years, and

51
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: before that I was only with one person who broke

52
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: my heart. I never got the chance to be single. Really,

53
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: now fast forward. I've wanted him to propose for so

54
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: long and it hasn't happened, and now should I leave

55
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: the situation? But it's oh, this is a run on sentence. Okay,

56
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: this is a really long run on sentence. Hold on. Look,

57
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: if you send an email, try to include like periods

58
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: and commas and stuff. Boss whatever, I'll figure it out.

59
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I'll figure it out. You did your best with this email,

60
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna figure it out. I'm gonna just put

61
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put in my own comma commas and periods

62
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: into this email. Okay, where was it? Now? Fast forward?

63
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: I've wanted him to propose for so long and it

64
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. Now should I leave the situation? But it's

65
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: hard to find someone. Plus I don't know if I

66
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: could find someone again that will love me. And recently

67
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: I've met someone who is a friend with other friends.

68
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: He is straightforward, blunt, and is just looking for a FBW.

69
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: It stands for friends with benefits. I've never done that before,

70
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: but took the leap, and now I know he doesn't

71
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: want a relationship. I'm not sure if he just thinks

72
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: of me as some type of whoror with all the

73
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: things that happened. But also I like being his friend,

74
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: but would maybe be curious if he would ever be

75
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: into me in a relationship since before him, I fell

76
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: in love with my girl best friend, and we both

77
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: have significant others. But every time we come together we're

78
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: like peas in a pod and too Okay, all right,

79
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: that's it. That's pretty much the thing here. Okay, I'm

80
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: trying to formulate what my thoughts are for this girl. One.

81
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: You're not a whore, Okay, You're not a whore. There's

82
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: even if you were a whore, there's nothing wrong with

83
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: being a whore, not that you are one. I don't

84
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: believe that you are one. So don't beat yourself up

85
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: for that. Don't call yourself that you're fine, totally fine, Ashley,

86
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: don't worry. Okay, this second, here's the thing. Here's what

87
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm getting out of this run on sentence. I think

88
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: this is one sentence. It's got a lot of comments,

89
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: it's got a lot of commas, but no periods. Look,

90
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: first of all, Ashley, Look, if you're just if you

91
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: just want to have sex with people and that's what

92
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: you want, that's fine. And if you find other people

93
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: that that's what they want, that's cool too. And if

94
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: you find other people and and and ideally, in an

95
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: ideal world which I'd love to live in, which we'd

96
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: all like to live in, people would be perfectly aligned

97
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: with each other upon meeting. Now, we do not always

98
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: live in an ideal world. But I don't know. You

99
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: said you're curious if he would ever be in a

100
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: relationship with this guy, Why don't you just talk to him?

101
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: I feel like ninety nine percent of these things are

102
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: just like, just talk to him. Okay, you're having sex

103
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: with this guy, you're like, oh, I kind of like

104
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: him from more than just having sex with him. Maybe

105
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: he would be into something more. And then ask him

106
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: and he'll either say he'll either say he'll say something

107
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: on the spectrum between yes and no, anything besides anything

108
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: on that spectrum that's not yes kind of means no.

109
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: And then after you have that information you you can

110
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: use it to determine what you want to do moving forward.

111
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: This okay, I'm sorry, Ashley, I'm sorry to keep making

112
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: fun of you for this, but I I by the

113
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: nature of the fact that there are no periods in

114
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: this paragraph, you are striking me as not being highly

115
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: experienced with communication, which is fine. You will. I believe

116
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: that there is hope for you to become more experienced

117
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: with this. So why don't you just why don't you

118
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: just ask this guy if you like him, if he

119
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: likes you in that kind of way, and if he doesn't,

120
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: then you can make your own decision as to whether

121
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: you want to keep seeing him. And also, by the thing,

122
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: you also are like, I don't know if I'm ever

123
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: gonna find someone who will love you again. You will.

124
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm confident you will. I'm positive you will. Well, I'm not,

125
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't, I don't know.

126
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: I I.

127
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: Guess. Life a lot of the times feels like it's

128
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: just a choice between optimism and pessimism, and with pessimism

129
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: you get nothing, and with optimism you get maybe. And

130
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: so take your maybe, Ashley, and be optimistic that you

131
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: will find love again. What is this? What do you

132
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to read more into this email to see

133
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: if I missed anything. I fell in love with my

134
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: girl best friend. But every time it sounds like you, like,

135
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: like your girl best friend, but you don't know if

136
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: she's gay. I guess, but she also has a boy.

137
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: You don't know if she's gay. And she also says

138
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: we both have significant other I fell in love with

139
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: my girl best friend and we both have significant others. Okay,

140
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: maybe that's not I don't know. It sounds like it

141
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: sounds like you could use some uh some some self esteem, Ashley.

142
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: You gotta stop. You got and you can't be beating

143
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: yourself up like this saying that you're not gonna you

144
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you can find someone that will love

145
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: you again. I think you will. I think you will.

146
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: At least. I think you probably will if you're optimistic

147
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: about it, because whatever whatever you seek, you shall find,

148
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if. I don't know if

149
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: any of this, I don't know if this was helpful,

150
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: but I'm trying. All right, let's move on. Uh okay,

151
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: dealing with a porn addiction in a relationship. That's the

152
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: subject line of an email from minecraft man, hey Lyle. Yesterday,

153
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: A large web of lies I've been spinning for a

154
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: little over a year came undone and resulted in my

155
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: girlfriend of three years finding out about the porn addiction

156
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: I suffered with at the start of our relationship. I

157
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: was subscribed to multiple OnlyFans pages while telling my girlfriend

158
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: how deplorable and gross I thought porn was. Ah ah,

159
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: We're going to try and work it out. She has

160
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: some pretty severe mental health issues and the thought of

161
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: her hurting herself due to my actions is so painful.

162
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: Oh man, I feel quite lost, but I also feel

163
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: good in not having to continue this lie thanks to

164
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: minecraft Man twenty four hundred. Was it Minecraft porn? What

165
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: kind of porn was it? That doesn't really matter at all?

166
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: Oh fuck, that's heavy. This is heavy? Sort of yes,

167
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: oh man, Okay, all right, Well, I don't know, minecraft Man.

168
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: I think maybe I was I was telling her how

169
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: to gross and deplorable is. I think it's funny. It's

170
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: funny because I think it's one thing to like hide

171
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: a secret porn stash, but then too or like I

172
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: like if you're like, like, like if your girlfriend's going

173
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: on a rant about like how gross she finds porn,

174
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: and you're like, it's kind of sitting there like, oh yeah, yeah,

175
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of I guess that's what That's

176
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: probably not great, But that's one thing. I guess. It's

177
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: the other thing to like actively bring it up that

178
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: you think porn is horrible. Well, you know, I don't know,

179
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: you seem like a younger guy. I'm only I'm judging

180
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: that by your your email minecraft Man, twenty four hundred.

181
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: I think maybe as you get older, you become a

182
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: little bit more comfortable with yourself, right, Like I guess,

183
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: I look, I'm I'm I myself indulge in pornography from

184
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: time to time. By from time to time, I mean

185
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: probably every day. Maybe I don't know, sometimes I just

186
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: do thoughts, but you know, it's probably like every other

187
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: day porn versus thoughts. But I would hope that like

188
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: my girl. I don't have a girlfriend, but like if

189
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: I had one, that she I could talk to her

190
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: about these things, you know, like if you're gonna have

191
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: it like that, like a relationship would be a thing

192
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: where you would really you want to trust this person.

193
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: You want this person to know you, not you don't

194
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: want to like it's already to have. You gonna have

195
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: some things that you keeping to yourself. If you're super

196
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: into minecraft porn or you watch porn way too where

197
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: you watch porn all the time, like from like you

198
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: watch it at work or whatever, and you don't wanna

199
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: you're not maybe ready or comfortable to share the extent

200
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: of your thing. That makes sense some things, I think

201
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: it makes sense to keep close to the chest. But uh,

202
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: I guess your partners, you be a person you feel

203
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: comfortable talking to about this kind of stuff. But when

204
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: you say also, when you said she had some pretty

205
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: severe mental health issues in the thought of her heart

206
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: herself to my actions is painful. I but look, man,

207
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that your girlfriend is dealing with

208
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: this stuff. But another nobody, you fuck, dude, No nobody

209
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: hurting themselves. Is that's the that's something's going on in

210
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: their own brain, right, And I don't think you can

211
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: blame yourself for something like that. I'm gonna move on,

212
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: but I like but I hope you watch less porn

213
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,360

231
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: question this is.

232
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: I like this.

233
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: This is. This is easier to answer than what should

234
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: I I do if my partner is harming herself. Let's see,

235
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: let's see my favorite pizza place. My favorite pizza place, Evan,

236
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: thank you for asking. My favorite pizza place is the

237
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine cent or I don't even know if it

238
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: exists anymore. At nine I think it's a dollar fifty,

239
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: but I like the dollar fifty pizza in New York

240
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: and everyone is like, oh, it's shitty pizza, but it's not,

241
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: and people are I'm not a food snob. Whatever. I

242
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: think that some pizza you go to at a fancy

243
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: place and it's like nineteen dollars for one slice, is

244
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the same experience as if you just

245
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: have the ninety nine cent place. I'm a big fan

246
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: of those ninety nine cent pizza places. And I hope

247
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: you're doing well, Evan. I forgot what we talked about

248
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: because he didn't give me any information about it, But

249
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: whatever it was, I hope you're doing better with it now. Okay,

250
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: all right, let's keep going. Uh, all right, this is hell. Okay.

251
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: Someone said hello from Africa, high Ghak, my name is Okay.

252
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: They said, hi Ghak, my name is and then they

253
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: wrote their name, and then they wrote parentheses. Please don't

254
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: mention my name. I'm afraid someone exposes me. If okay,

255
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you George. That's not the name you

256
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: gave me, but George. If you don't want me to

257
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: mention your name, don't put your name in the email, okay,

258
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: because I would have wrote because the way you structure

259
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: your email is that you wrote right. Don't mention my

260
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: name before writing your name, because I don't. I read

261
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: from left to right, so I would have read your

262
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: name before reading. Not to mention. Okay, all right, all right,

263
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you George, high Gak. My name is George.

264
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: Please don't mention he he wrote, high Gak, my name

265
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: is George. Please don't mention my name. I'm afraid someone

266
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: exposes me. Okay. I listened to every episode of your

267
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: show in twenty twenty four on Spotify. I literally fall

268
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: asleep to this every night. I'm twenty four and I

269
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: am engaged. I should get married in seven months. But

270
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: the thing is I don't feel financially and mentally ready

271
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: to take the step, but never had the courage to

272
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: tell this to my fiance. I've applied to a visa

273
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: to Portugal behind her back, and my trip might happen

274
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: in February. I used her money from her car that

275
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: she sold to afford all the costs involved, which is

276
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: around four k. This money was supposed to be used

277
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: for the marriage, and I don't know how to tell

278
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: her this. What the fuck? I really love her to

279
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: death and I don't really intend to run away. I

280
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: just want to work in Europe, get money for the wedding,

281
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: rent a house, and later come back to my country

282
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: to marry her and take her with me to Portugal. Buddy,

283
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: if you stole four thousand dollars from this woman and

284
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: ran away from her behind their back, she's not gonna

285
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: be there. She's not gonna be there to marry you later.

286
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: She's gonna be fucking pissed. I later come back to

287
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: my country to marry her and take her with me

288
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: to Portugal. We've had conversations about moving to Europe or

289
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: the US, but she always tells me that she doesn't

290
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: want to leave her family and blah blah blah. However,

291
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: life is tough out here as a young self employed

292
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: man that doesn't belong to a wealthy family. I see

293
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: no future here for our family. Should I tell her

294
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: about my plans now? Or just do it when I

295
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: arrive in Portugal and then we'll see? And then he wrote,

296
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: He literally put twenty exclamation no twenty question marks. He

297
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: also sent me this email five times. Okay, George, George,

298
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: what are you doing? George? What are you doing? George? Okay,

299
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: hold on, let me read, let me reread this again.

300
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: I applied for the visa. Okay, so you already did

301
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: you already spend this money? Okay, George? If you already

302
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: spent this money, you're fuck Okay George, if you already

303
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: spent this money, you have you know, I think if

304
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: you already spent this money, you have no fiance and

305
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: you also owe her four thousand dollars. If you already

306
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: spent this money, then this woman is probably done with you,

307
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: and you you should pay her back to four thousand.

308
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Fucking What do you? What do you do? I don't

309
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: or you could run away? Sure, you could just keep

310
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: running away and just be on there. I don't know

311
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: if she I don't she probably she probably can't get you. So, yes,

312
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: you just stole four thousand dollars from this lady and

313
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: ran away. What are you doing, George. I'm not gonna

314
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: say your first name, but I should get married in

00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: seven mother. You you're not getting married. You're you're this

00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: I can tell you don't like this lady that much

318
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: by the way that you're talking about it. And if

319
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: you don't like this lady that much and you don't

320
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: want to get I'm gonna just tell you. I'm gonna

321
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to you as if you hadn't spent

322
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: this woman's four thousand dollars. If you don't like this

323
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: lady that much and you're not ready, don't fucking get married.

324
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: Don't fucking get married. Why do people do? Why do

325
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: people make these like giant life decisions that they don't

326
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: want to make what I'd love her to death? Why then? Why?

327
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: Why did you? Well? Okay, George, here's what I'll say.

328
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: If you want If you're like, okay, I already, if

329
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 1: you if let's say you hear this. I assume you're

330
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: going to hear this because you said you listened every episode,

331
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: and so let's say you hear this and you go, oh, fuck.

332
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: The gecko guy told me I shouldn't have spent I

333
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: shouldn't have stolen four thousand dollars from my fiance, which is,

334
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: I guess what you did? What do you do now?

335
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess, I guess go to porch. If

336
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 1: you really want to be able to sleep at night,

337
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: better you go to Portugal and make your money and

338
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: pay her back when you owe her, and then leave

339
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: her alone and start a new life and do whatever

340
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: you're going to do. And also, like so many things

341
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: about this email, George, the fact that you put your

342
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: name before putting don't mention my name. I'm worried about you, George.

343
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't cause why let me I'm worried about I'm

344
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: worried about you because I genuinely think that you didn't

345
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm willing to I'm gonna give you some plausible deniability

346
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: that you didn't realize what you were doing when you

347
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: stole this woman's money. Like I don't think it. I

348
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: don't think that the fact that you put your real

349
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: name before writing don't mention my name. Makes me feel

350
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: as though you were not good at coming to logical

351
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: conclusions about things, both on micro levels, like how you

352
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: structured this email and on macro levels like stealing four

353
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: thousand dollars from your fyance. I don't I'm willing to

354
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: believe that you didn't know what you were doing. And

355
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know there there's a sum

356
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: circuit is loose in your brain that I don't know

357
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: if this podcast, this me answering your email on this

358
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: podcast could be the last line of defense. I don't know.

359
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what your life is like. And I

360
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: don't know if you have people in your life that

361
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: can help you re solder together that exposed wire in

362
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: your brain that's causing you to live this way. But

363
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: if you don't, and this is it, I implore you, George,

364
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: to well go talk to a real therapist and just

365
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: try to understand the logical conclusions of things. Try to think.

366
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how I can get

367
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: you to think. But this is maybe you just I

368
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: don't think you're like a bad guy. I don't well,

369
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: maybe I I don't think you view this as you

370
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: stole four thousand dollars from your fiance. I think you

371
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: view it. You've viewed it as, Oh, I'm just taking

372
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: this so that I can give her more money in

373
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: the future, which is still stealing. But try to understand stuff. God,

374
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: that's a terrible response to this email. But I I

375
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: don't know if I can yourself. What do you self?

376
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: You said you're a young self employed man. What are

377
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: you self employed doing? Okay, George, call into the show

00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: want to help you because I think you're something is

385
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: some some neurons in your brain are not firing correctly.

386
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: And I don't actually think I can help you. I

387
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: think I'm insane, and I don't. I don't. No, I'm not.

388
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't think i'm actually am equipped to help you

389
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: at all. But I want to go. I'm curious. Maybe

390
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I can help you I don't know, but

391
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: call in and give your If you didn't spend the money,

392
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: just give it back immediately. Okay, all right, let's move on.

393
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: What does the chat have to say? What does the

394
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: chat have to say? Someone in the chat said he's

395
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: ashamed and secretly wants you to dox him. That's interesting. Okay,

396
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: all right, all right, whatever, let's keep going. Okay, uh oh.

397
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: I love the subject of this email. This is from Andrew.

398
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: The subject line is masturbation and existential dread. Hi, Lyle,

399
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: I am a fairly average person and I am mostly

400
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: content with my life. What a beautiful sentence. However, I

401
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: do think there is one thing that sets me apart

402
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: from most others, being that I have never pleasured myself.

403
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: It's not for religious or moral reasons. I've just never

404
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: bothered to jerk off? Are what? You've just never bothered

405
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: to do it? I've just never bothered to jerk off?

406
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: Would you say I'm missing out? I'm twenty one. Also,

407
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: how do you deal with the fact that, no matter

408
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: what you're doing? That Also, how do you deal with

409
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: the fact that, no matter what you do, you're going

410
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: to die someday? That's my That's the Okay, so these

411
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: are these are two separate questions. One I'm significantly more

412
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: interested in, you've never bothered to jerk off? What would

413
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: you say you're missing out? Andrew? Here's what I'm gonna

414
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: tell you. I don't. I don't think you're missing out,

415
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: or I don't think you're missing out. And here's why

416
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't think you're because, well, well if look, here's

417
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: here's why. Here's why I'm gonna be so honest with you, Andrew.

418
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: You're not missing out because you're telling me that you

419
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: are content with your life. And every time I jerk off,

420
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: it's longing. It's like a longing for a sexual satisfaction

421
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: that I am trying to address via jerking off, and

422
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: then the longing. It's a constant cycle. It's a longing,

423
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: and we satisfy the longing briefly, we push it down

424
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: with jerking off. I think that's what jerking off might

425
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: be for a lot of people, is you have a

426
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: longing and then you jerk off, and then the longing

427
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: comes back, and then you jerk off. But you're content

428
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: with your life, Andrew, So it kind of makes sense

429
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: that you never bothered to jerk off. People who jerk

430
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: off typically want things. That's why you jerk off, because

431
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: you want some I don't know. I don't know why.

432
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm imagining you just sitting in a white, blank room

433
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: in a chair staring content. That's a bit how I'm

434
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: imagining you. I guess that literally, I guess if you

435
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: have an office job, that is kind of literally what

436
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: you do. But yeah, I don't think you're missing out

437
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: on anything. You're doing life way better than everyone who's

438
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: ever jerked off. That's how I truly feel about this.

439
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: I'm just surprised. I'm like nothing's ever I've never in

440
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: my life been like Oh, I would have gotten so

441
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: much more work done, and my relationships would have been deeper,

442
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: and I would have had a greater breadth of life

443
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: experiences had I only jerked off a lot. I've never

444
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: had that thought in my life. So do with that

445
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: as you will, Andrew, Okay, how do you deal with

446
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: the fact that, no matter what you do, you're gonna

447
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: die someday? I have not yet figured this out. I

448
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: don't know if you ever will. How do you deal

449
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: with the fact, no matter what you're gonna do, you're

450
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: gonna die someday? You know, Andrew, I don't are you?

451
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: Are you lying to us about being content? How do

452
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: you deal with the fact that, no matter what you're

453
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: gonna do, you're gonna die someday. I'm gonna tell story, Andrew, Andrew,

454
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell a story to you. It's not a

455
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: story about jerking off for those who thought it may be.

456
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell a story about a hilarious thing

457
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: that happened to me at the Mall of America. Nothing

458
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: really happened. It all happened to my own mind. But

459
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: I was at the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota,

460
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: and I saw at the Mall of America they have

461
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: an amusement park. They have a Nickelodeon themed amusement park,

462
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: and they have a sponge roller coaster. And I saw

463
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: the roller coaster. I thought it looked cool, and I

464
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: was about to buy a ticket to ride this roller coaster,

465
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, you know, I might have

466
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: fun on this roller coaster, but you know, I'll just

467
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: ride it and then it'll be over, and then there

468
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: won't even ever been a point of riding it. So

469
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna ride it. And then I didn't

470
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: ride it. Is that not the most depressing fucking thing

471
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: you've ever heard? What's happened to me? That was? I

472
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: felt so sad that I that I eored myself out

473
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: of riding this roller coaster. And I think it's it's

474
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: kind of a metaphor for life. I wish I regret

475
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: not riding that roller coaster. I wish I would have

476
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: written that roller coaster. So yes, had I ridden the

477
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: roller coaster, nothing about my life would be remotely different.

478
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: But I don't know it would have been fun. So

479
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: ride your roller coaster and stop worrying about the fact.

480
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: Stop don't be in Like when I had that thought,

481
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: oh it's just gonna be over, I wanted to punch

482
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: myself in the face because I was It's just such

483
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: a stupid way for me to have looked at that situation.

484
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: And so if you were to kind of pinch in

485
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: on that, you could say that that's a metaphor for

486
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: a life as a whole. So ride ride your roller coaster, Andrew.

487
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: That's all I That's all I have to say. All Right,

488
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: let's see here. Someone in the chat said, uh, well

489
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: did you go back? No? I didn't. Someone said, uh,

490
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: Someone said, if he was really content with his life,

491
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have sent the email. That's pretty funny. I

492
00:31:55,280 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: guess that's kind of true. Let's see. Someone said, if

493
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't masturbate, he has a higher chance of developing

494
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: prostate cancer. Uh the body, lets you know what you miss? Okay.

495
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Someone said maybe they're a sexual. Well they could be

496
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: a sexual, I guess, But do do asexual people masturbate.

497
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: If you're a sexual and you masturbate, chime in. I

498
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: don't know what chiming in looks like. Maybe just maybe

499
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: just yell. Maybe just if you're listening to this podcast

500
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: and you're a sexual and you masturbate, maybe just yell

501
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: out your window. I'm a sexual and I masturbate, and

502
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: maybe I'll hear it. All right, let's uh, don't actually

503
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: do that or do I don't know why I told

504
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: you to not do it. It doesn't affect me in

505
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: any way, and I don't think it will bother anyone.

506
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep going. Someone wrote, Okay, this is

507
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: from Dharma. The subject line is I will be disappointed

508
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: if my story is not included in the episode. You

509
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: know what, fuck you? I'm not gonna read that one.

510
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: Uh okay. Hold on, I'm still scrolling through these. Um

511
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: uh okay. Someone wrote, got okay, this is from Victor

512
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: subject line got scammed out of eighteen dollars on Facebook,

513
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: but became friends after high lyle. Yesterday, I took a

514
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: gamble and tried to buy third party tickets for a

515
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: concert on Facebook. The account was a lady with kids

516
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: in the profile pick and it looked sketchy, but it

517
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: was only eighteen dollars for the ticket, so I decided

518
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: to risk it to get the biscuit. That's a triple rhyme.

519
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: After I had already sent the scammer the money for

520
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: the ticket, she requested another ten dollars to change the

521
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: name on the ticket. It was a scam. I didn't

522
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: get the biscuit. I sent her a message saying I

523
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: forgive her for stealing my money and I laughed about it.

524
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: Any Wait, what I didn't get the biscuit. I sent

525
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: her a message saying I forgive her for stealing my

526
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: money and I laughed about it. She replied admitting it

527
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: was all a lie and is extremely sorry for hurting

528
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: me out of my eighteen dollars, and also tells me

529
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: her name is David. We end up chatting about tough

530
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 1: times and how it's sometimes shitty for everyone out there,

531
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: and we bonded over stuff. He asked me how I've

532
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: found it in me to forgive him. I told him

533
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: I listened to a gecko on the internet who says

534
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: life is fucking crazy. David and I are friends now,

535
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: thank you for all you do. There's no way that's real.

536
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: I feel like this is God. There's gotta be no way.

537
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: There's no way that this is a real thing. If

538
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: if it is real, I I Victor. I must ask

539
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: if this is true, If this is true, did they

540
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: give you back the money I'm putting I'm throwing this

541
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: on r slash. I'm I'm I'm putting this on r slash.

542
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: That happened. I don't think this happened. And you guys

543
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: know me, I'm pretty uh. I believe most stuff. A

544
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: lot of people are. They comment on the show band

545
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: like this is all fake. I believe most stuff. I think.

546
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't believe in this. Send me screenshots, Victor, Victor,

547
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: if you Victor, if you send me screen and I

548
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: also want a Venmo screenshot of them sending you back

549
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: The twenty eight dollars. I will believe this story. Let's

550
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: move on, all right. This is from AVA subject line

551
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: hypnotherapy parentheses. I'm scared. Good day, Gecko. Please assign me

552
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: a name of your choosing. All right, I'm gonna just

553
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: call you by AVA people. When you send an email,

554
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: Google goes like, oh, we'll just put your first and

555
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: last name, but also to AVA no one. You're fine.

556
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: I guess, all right. Whatever. Yesterday, I attended my very

557
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: first hypno therapy consultation. Therapy alone has not been enough

558
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: for me to fully move forward from my past experiences,

559
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: so I've officially become desperate enough to try anything. Hypno

560
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: Therapy is categorized as alternative medicine and hoeless, which is

561
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: funny because I'm working toward becoming a registered nurse. I'm

562
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: on the fence about if this hypnotherapist is a quack. Hmm.

563
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: Our one hour free consultation became a one and a

564
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: half hour conversation. She told me that she quote works

565
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: with the government as needed, has a team of military

566
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: men who have never faced a single loss, that she

567
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: has been shot and was told she would lose her

568
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 1: arm but didn't and beat me in an arm wrestle

569
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: to prove her strength. She preached the power of the

570
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: human mind and that the government cannot replicate the strength

571
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: of human brain vibrations, and that anyone who tries writing

572
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: about these findings has gone missing. She also told me

573
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: that someday I will walk around knowing that I am

574
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: far more badass than anyone around me that hasn't struggled

575
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: in life, and she feels sorry for those who haven't.

576
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: I haven't been the tized, but I am scheduled to

577
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: be in a week. What do you think about this?

578
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: Is it a bad idea to let her hypnotize me parentheses?

579
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to anyway? So she actually, by the way,

580
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: by the way, for anyone who's like, oh, well, if

581
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: you're going to anyway, then why the fuck you send

582
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: the email? I'm so glad that you wrote that you're

583
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: going to anyway because that takes the pressure way off

584
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: of me, and now I can just be like, great,

585
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna do whatever you're gonna do anyway. So I'm

586
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: just gonna say why whatever? Do you know what? Look, well,

587
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: I here's my question. Here's my question. Okay, as you

588
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: had a one hour free consultation, how much money is

589
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: are you gonna pay this lady to hypnotize you. Here's

590
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: what I would say, Just I don't know how much

591
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 1: is you're gonna pay this lady. But if you're completely

592
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: utterly okay with the idea that you paid a lady,

593
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: that you paid a crazy lady two hundred and fifty

594
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: dollars to scam you, which is fine, you're not. I

595
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: don't think you're an idiot for doing that. I actually

596
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: think you're smart for accepting that that could be the

597
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: case before doing it, right. That's smarter than going in

598
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: and being like, oh, this is really gonna be a thing.

599
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: Just I think going into it being like I fully

600
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: accept both the possibility that this might be helpful and

601
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: the possibility that I have been scammed out of two

602
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars, that's smart. If you do that,

603
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: I think you're golden. You're not setting yourself up for disappointment?

604
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: Is it bad as you let her hypn's? But yeah, go,

605
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean go ahead, what's she gonna do? I mean,

606
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: the worst thing that you could do in this situation

607
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: is waste a bunch of money and be fooled. But

608
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: you're not really being fooled. If you're subjecting yourself to

609
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: a ski am knowing, fully accepting the risks that you're being,

610
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: that you could be scammed, you're maybe less. Are you

611
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: still a fool? I don't think so. You're just you're

612
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: You're an optimistic person being financially taken advantage of which

613
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: is not a horrible thing to be, not a horrible

614
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: thing to be at all. That's so funny that she

615
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: arm wrestled you. You know what, I like this. I'm

616
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: actually gonna, uh, next time I have any therapist of

617
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: any kind, I'm going to make sure that they can

618
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: beat me in an arm wrestling before they treat me

619
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: any Actually, I'm gonna I'm gonna actually extend that to

620
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: any healthcare provider of all time. My doctor, my therapist,

621
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: my dentist, all of them need to beat me in

622
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: an arm wrestling competition before I give them any sort

623
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: of credibility. Because if you can't beat me in arm wrestling,

624
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm weak as fuck. And if you can't beat me

625
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: in an arm wrestling you you have no business treating

626
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: my mental or physical health. I'm curious. I'm curious how

627
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: this works. AVA therapy alone has not been enough for

628
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: me to fully move on from my past experiences. I

629
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's funny

630
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: with the show because sometimes I'm like, uh, you guys

631
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: just get therapy, and sometimes I don't. I don't know.

632
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: Some problem. I just this is me thinking aloud. This

633
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: is not me declaring anything. By the way, that extends

634
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: to everything I ever say on this fucking podcast. Uh,

635
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: just thinking aloud here. Sometimes you have a problem and

636
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: you try to attack it with therapy or walking or whatever.

637
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: I think sometimes some problems, some things you just have

638
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: to fucking accept some shit in life. Some shit in

639
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: life we just gotta accept. And there's things that you

640
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 1: can do to there's always there's I swear on my life,

641
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: there's always things that you can do to change your

642
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: situation and change the way you think about stuff. But

643
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: maybe before that, you just have to accept some shit.

644
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I might be completely wrong about that,

645
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: all right, I might be completely right. I don't know.

646
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, But whatever, Let this lady hypnotize you

647
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: and turn you into a chicken. That sounds fun. Let's

648
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: move on, Let's do another thing. How long have I

649
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: been recording this for forty three minutes. That's pretty good. Okay,

650
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: let's keep going. Okay, this is from Brenda. The subject

651
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: line is Buffalo Bill. Hello, ghek. I've been wanting to

652
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: ask you about this for a while, but I didn't

653
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: think it constituted an entire phone call. I like that

654
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: word constituted several times starout your podcast, you've mentioned Buffalo Bill.

655
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 1: Really have I I have no idea what you're talking about.

656
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: Can someone make a compilation of all the times I've

657
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: mentioned Buffalo Bill on the podcast, because I this is

658
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: a foreign idea to me that I mentioned Buffalo Bill

659
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: on the podcast a lot. I honestly, look, here's the

660
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: thing I could see. I could see it slipping through

661
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: the cracks in my brain right now that I've mentioned

662
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: him once or twice. But you say several times you

663
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: mentioned Buffalo Bill, all right, several times start your podcast

664
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: you've mentioned Buffalo Bill and referenced him when talking about

665
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: serial killers. I wanted to make sure that you know

666
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: he was not a real guy. He's a fictitious serial

667
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: killer used in the Silence of the Lambs. Okay, I'm

668
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna tell you guys what happened to my brain just

669
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: now as I as I read what I just read

670
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: in my brain, neurons were firing off my gut. I

671
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: was about to say, I fucking knew that he wasn't real.

672
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: That's what I was about to say. Of course I

673
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: knew he wasn't real. Why like I was about to

674
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: attack this lady for insinuating that, I what do you

675
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: mean I didn't think he was of course I know

676
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: he's not real. And then a tenth of a second past,

677
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: and I immediately realized that I did think he was real.

678
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: I did not. I didn't think he was real, but

679
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: I I maybe he could have maybe moved. I didn't

680
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: think he was real, but I didn't know he was

681
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: fake for sure. That's what happened. That's why you got

682
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: That's why you got to wait at least a tenth

683
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: of a second before you say stuff, because you might

684
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,439
Speaker 1: prove yourself a fool. He's a fictitious serial killer used

685
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 1: in the Silence of the Lambs and then spoofed in

686
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: Joe Dirt. The real guy who did the human skin

687
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: stuff was Ed guyin Gain g e. I N I'm

688
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna say Gain was Ed Gain. He inspired such movie

689
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: killers as Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre and thus also

690
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: inspired Buffalo Bill. It's important to me that you know that.

691
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm a little suspicious as to why it's important to

692
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: you that I know that, Brenda. But whatever, Maybe you're

693
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: just a true crime gal. Have a great day and

694
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: eat lots of candy. I will not, I will not.

695
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 1: I will not eat any candy. I am off the stuff.

696
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 1: Ps IDK if you remember me, but I was on

697
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: stage at your first live show in Vegas and talked

698
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: about catfishing older men online when I was eleven years old.

699
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: I also met you again after your second Vegas show.

700
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for always being cool and nice. Thanks Brenda, thanks

701
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: for coming to those shows. So those are a fun show.

702
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: Those are fun shows. Okay, all right, okay, Jenny subject line,

703
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: I am an actual witch. Well, she wrote, Hi, I'm

704
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: an actual witch. Hi, Lyle. My husband and I started

705
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: watching early twenty twenty. We saw the guy who had

706
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: too many brownies and had to go meet God. I

707
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: hope that guy was Okay, I know exactly who you're

708
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: talking about. I think that guy's name was Kyle. If

709
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: I hold on, I actually have to look this up

710
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: because if I remember that guy's name correctly. I'm kind

711
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: of a genius dude. That's the thing is, I won't

712
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 1: remember the first hold On. I'm scrolling through my TikTok

713
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: to see if I remember that guy's name. I won't

714
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: remember a person's name the second they tell it to me,

715
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: but I might remember a person's name five years later.

716
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: So let's se if I got there. I'm pretty sure

717
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: this guy's name is Kyle hold On. I don't know.

718
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm wasting time on this show. I mean, what is

719
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: wasting time? We can make this as long. I could

720
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: do this for four hours. I'm not going to, but

721
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: I theoretically could. There is no I could this could

722
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: be I could do this for Oh, here we go.

723
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 3: I've been suspicious of my roommate kind of getting with

724
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 3: my girlfriend recently, so I kind of decided to get

725
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 3: back at him. He hates it when I steal his food,

726
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 3: so I went into his room when he wasn't there,

727
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: and I found from the brownies they tasted a little off.

728
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm kind of.

729
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 3: Feeling a little off because of it, but I feel

730
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: like I'm Lucky's in it because I'm pretty sure that

731
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 3: God's Ryan. I'm about to meet it, jue Ka like four.

732
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I don't I don't know if you

733
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: guys could hear that at all. But his name was

734
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandon. Maybe we can boost it in post or not.

735
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if that'll I don't

736
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: know if that works. Don't don't kill yourself trying to

737
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: boost it and post it could just be shitty. All right.

738
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: That was a very very very very long way of

739
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: proving that I remembered a guy's name.

740
00:47:58,440 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 3: All right.

741
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: Back to this email. We saw the guy who had

742
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: too many brownies and had to go meet God. I

743
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: hope the guy was okay. His name is Kyle, and

744
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: we do not know if he is okay. Anyway, we

00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: you help people, especially the guy who was living with

748
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: his grandma and working at Taco Bell. You gave them

749
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,240

Speaker 1: any thoughts food for thought. Every time I watch your stream,

757
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: I give magic blessings on you and chat because listening

758
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: to you feeds the soul. You're like millennial Delilah, but

759
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: on twitch instead of the radio. I can tell. I

760
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: can tell I definitely am millennial Delilah because I don't

761
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: know who Delilah is. What's Delilah? Is that? From the

762
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: song Hey there, Delilah? We saw you in austin twenty

763
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: twenty three and I asked the Wiener mobile guy if

764
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: he ever did it in the car. I wonder what

765
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: he answered to that. I forgot about that. PS. If

766
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: you need anything, let me know. Okay, If I want

767
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: to put a curse on someone, I know what emails

768
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: to respond to. Have I considered that I am a

769
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 1: magical being. I was in the shower today and I

770
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: was reflective. I had a slow morning. It was nice.

771
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: I was reflective in the shower. I was looking at

772
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: my body and I felt very grounded upon the earth.

773
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: I was like what I was like? I was looking

774
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: at my body, like how Spider Man looked at his

775
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: body after once he realized that he had like spider powers,

776
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, I am like

777
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: a thing. I felt in that moment that I was

778
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 1: indeed a magical being, and therefore we all are magical beings.

779
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, if you want to get a little fruit

780
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: through up in this bitch, we all are magical beings.

781
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: You know how magical it is to pick up a

782
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: glass of water and drink it. You don't need to

783
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to cast spells on your

784
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: neighbors to be a magical being. You can just walk

785
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: around and you're doing a pretty good job. You're doing

786
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: better than actually dogs, I was gonna say you're doing

787
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: better than dogs. But dogs are magical beings too, look

788
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 1: at them, they're walking around. Humans are a little bit

789
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: more magical because we can use the computer and look

790
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: at porn and read it, which is a little which

791
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: is sort of magical. Were we created porn and read it.

792
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: We didn't create sex. Sex has been around for longer

793
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: than humans, but we created filming it and putting it

794
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: on the internet, and that's pretty magical. I will let

795
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: you know if I eat anything. Jenny all right, um,

796
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: hold on, uh, this is from Sarah. Subject line, my

797
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: boyfriend bought me a twenty three carrot gold Pokemon card.

805
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:50,240

00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: that there's a video version of this podcast, and I've

807
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: just been digging in my belly button. I've just been

808
00:51:55,600 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: fidgeting with my belly button throughout the whole podcast, thinking

809
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: that nobody could see it. Well, all right, anyway. Attached

Speaker 1: able to see the card. But it looks pretty cool.

816
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: Is that real gold? Is a golden jigglypuff? Is that

817
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: real gold? That's pretty cool. That's really nice. I highly

818
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,880

Speaker 1: of the year, I found out my boyfriend of two

841
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: years watched porn. Then two months ago I saw he

842
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 1: had a secret Reddit where he traded nudes with people,

843
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: and finally two weeks ago I saw he had an

844
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: only Fans where he messaged women. Is that like he

845
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 1: had like he was posting on only fans or he

846
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: it like is just messaging people in there. Every time

847
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: I found out Slash brought something up, he just lied.

848
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: Still love him, though, and I want to trust him.

00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna assume that you don't want my opinion

00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: on this, but also I'm gonna give you my opinion

Speaker 1: you don't like that he does all of it, I

861
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:45,000

868
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: why Aaron is staying with this person if their values

869
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: are unaligned, and there might there might I might get

870
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: an answer to that by talking to Aaron, But I

877
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: Does your belly buttons stink? Because there's bacteria in the

878

Speaker 1: I did smell my finger. I did smell my finger.

883
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: Someone said that you should check out some porn and

884
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: see what the fuss is about. He shouldn't be talking

885
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: to other girls if he's with you. But porno has

886
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: been around since we could draw a voluptuous silhouette on

887
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: the walls of a cave with a stick of ash.

888
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:42,200

Speaker 1: from Aarin. This guy's name is actually Aerin, and the

890
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: subject line is leaving alone. What's up? Gek love the

891
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: gek male thing? Thank you, Erin. I'm reaching out because

892
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: i just started living on my own for the first

893
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: time in my life. I just got out of a

894
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: four year relationship, and before that, I had another four

895
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: year relationship, so I'm not very used to being single,

896
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: let alone living without roommates. It's definitely the first time

897
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: I've had to spend so much time without other people around.

898
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: On top of this, I work entirely remotely, so I

899
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: spend most of my time alone in my apartment with

900
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: my cat. Otherwise, I spend time making music or playing

901
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: gigs with my band, so I'm not doing absolutely nothing

902
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: with my life. However, the extensive alone time is feeling

903
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: pretty weird. Just wanted to get your advice on how

904
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: to handle extensive alone time and how to not feel

905
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: like I'm a total piece of shit on my nights

906
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: off with nothing to do. Lol. Thank you, my lizardly friend, Aaron.

907
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: You emailed the right guy, not necessarily for advice, but

908
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: at the very minimum for commiseration. I too live alone

909
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: and work remotely doing my gecko shit, and brother, I

910
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: struggled severely with it. I've always wondered if like living

911
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: alone is uh not the best way to do it.

912
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean, human beings are very communal, and you should

913
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: I person if you wanted, just to give you where

914
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: a sense of where I'm at. Aaron is like my

915
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: number one goal for this year. I mean, I have

916
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: a few goals for this year, but one of the

917
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: big big ones is to do something where I am

918
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: constantly surrounded by people. You know, I did my tour

919
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: for the past two years and that kind of scratched

920
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: that itch. But now that that's over, I'm like, oh,

921
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: I gotta find I really need to find something that

922
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: gets me out and about with other people. And so

923
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm super on that wave of trying to figure out

924
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: what that shit is I and I want it to

925
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: be something that I create and that I do. But

926
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: in the meantime, I'm like, Eh, let me just go

927
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: out to shit. So I've been going out to shit.

928
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: I fucking I go to a super smash brother's melee

929
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: ornament once a week. I go to yoga. That's nice.

930
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't know where you live, but just go out

931
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: to shit, go out and do stuff like premeditate it,

932
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: like like at the beginning of the week, write every

933
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: day of the week down and and feel as many

934
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: of those things as you can up with, like places

935
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: to go to leave your house. That's it. I know

936
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: it's not great. I know. I know saying just leave

937
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: your house lol is not great advice, But that kind

938
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: of just leave your house lol is kind of the advice.

939
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: But I'm curious because you said you actually weren't asking

940
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: me about how to minimize your alone time. You were

941
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: asking me how to handle it. You wrote how to

942
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: handle extensive alone time. Well, I gotta know, there's there's

943
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: a lot of peace with being alone. I think it's good.

944
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: I think, I think for you, since you've you're not

945
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: used to being alone, I think I think if you're not,

946
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: if you're not used to being alone, and you've always

947
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: had a fucking partner and you've always had roommates, you've

948
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:16,439
Speaker 1: always had all this shit, then I think it's good

949
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: to learn how to be alone. But if you're always

950
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: alone all the time, you're probably gonna be fucking miserable.

951
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know where you fit in that category,

952
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: if you're trying to handle it, or if you're trying

953
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: to be around other people but go on like meetup

954
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: dot com or Facebook groups or Google or I don't know.

955
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you live in like a small town in Nebraska,

956
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: in which case you really are fucked. But I don't

957
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: you most places that have people and buildings, you can

958
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: find a place to go at night. So just do that.

959
01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: Go out, leave your house. Lol. That's my advice to you, Aaron.

960
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: And you're not alone and living alone and being alone. Uh,

961
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: music is good, Playing gigs with your band is good.

962
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: Why don't you go out? Why don't you just dive

963
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: into the music scene. You just where do you well?

964
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: If you're okay, if you're in a band and you

965
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: play gigs, I assume you live in a major American city,

966
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: so just want to go instead of playing your own

967
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: I mean, instead of just playing your own gigs, why

968
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: don't you go out to other like local concerts and

969
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: talk to ladies with big, big gauge ears my name? Okay,

970
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: this is from Bruna. Subject line, I kicked my mom's

971
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: boyfriend in the nuts. Okay, sup gek you can call

972
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: me bp AM. I in the wrong. I was having

973
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: dinner with my family and at the time I was

974
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: like a rebel teenager who hates the world. Once I finished,

975
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: I asked to leave the table, and I do so.

976
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 1: I got to my room to watch something on my

977
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: computer and my mom's boyfriend starts yelling. His name is Paul.

978
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: He starts yelling from the kitchen, your daughter is useless.

979
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: She's a bitch. I already didn't like him, but all

980
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Paul yells, I'm gonna whoop her ass.

981
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: And as the rebel teenager I was, I yelled back,

982
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: touched me and you'll see expecting Paul to ignore, as

983
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: he usually did when we argued. Bro, I am telling you,

984
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: I've never seen that man run so fast in my life.

985
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: He kicks the door open, looks dead in my soul

986
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: and says say that again, which I did, and he

987
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: got ready to slap me. So as a defense, I

988
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: punched him in the nuts. I thought you said you

989
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: kicked him in the nuts. I don't know if I

990
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: believe this story anymore, Bruna, because you said you kicked him,

991
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,919
Speaker 1: and now you're saying you punched him, and I don't

992
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 1: know if I believe. I don't I mean a punch

993
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: in then this guy must have been pretty tall for

994
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: you to punch him in the night nuts. Maybe you

995
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: meant maybe you meant kick, all right, whatever, I punched

996
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: him in the nuts. My brother's trying to hold him,

997
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: and my mom's losing it completely. He tried to grab

998
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: my foot, but instead of grabbed the computer and broke it.

999
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: In the aftermath, I was grounded for three months. Paul

1000
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,959
Speaker 1: went to his parents' house for a while and paid

1001
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 1: for the computer. My mom and Paul are still together.

1002
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: It's been five years and we just learned to tolerate

1003
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: each other's existence. Have a great night, gek love you

1004
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 1: keep doing what you do parentheses come to Portugal. Oh okay,

1005
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: so this is you're in Portugal. So maybe if English

1006
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: isn't your first language, maybe I'll chalk up the kicking

1007
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: punching contradiction. What would you call it? Conflict controversy, the

1008
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: kicking versus punching controversy. I can maybe it's because maybe

1009
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: it's that I don't know. Were you in the wrong, Well,

1010
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:02,919
Speaker 1: it's been five years ago. It sounds like you guys

1011
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: just hated each other. That's the thing is, Were you

1012
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: in the wrong doesn't really matter because time time has

1013
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: time doesn't really I guess give that much of a

1014
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:12,959
Speaker 1: fuck as to whether or not you're in the wrong,

1015
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: because what I don't even know what me answering this

1016
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: question would even do at this point? Were you in

1017
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: the wrong? I mean shit, it sounded like it sounded

1018
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 1: like he was about to hit you and you defended yourself.

1019
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a jury, but uh, do you still live

1020
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: with these people? Paul? Sounds crazy? I don't know, BP.

1021
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: I hope you get some peace. That sounds like a

1022
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: very not peaceful situation. I don't know what it's been like.

1023
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's like nowadays, but I hope

1024
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 1: you get some peace. That sounds kind of crazy. Uh okay, okay, okay,

1035
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 1: time I watched you. You were talking to the mushroom lady.

1036
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you my secret. Here goes the story.

1037
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: I know exactly who you're talking about when you say

1038
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: the mushroom lady. There's an old lady who was talking

1039
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 1: about how she wanted to be a mushroom after she

1040
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 1: did a lot of blasts from the past calls in

1041
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: these emails. I used my college Okay, I wanted to

1042
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: tell you my secret. Here's the story. I used my

1043
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: roommate's college account to drop out of college from the website.

1044
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Oh so you dropped out of He logged into your

1045
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: roommate's college account, and then you dropped out of college

1046
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: for him. That's crazy. I used my roommate's college account

1047
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: to drop out of college from the website because it

1048
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: always bothered me that he masturbates like eighty percent of

1049
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: the time while we were in the apartment. See that, Okay?

1050
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 1: For the person was that guy Andrew, who was content

1051
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 1: with his life and was a wonder your feature to

1052
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: try masturbating. Masturbating has never I don't that just masturbating

1053
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: led to this guy dropping out of college, and it's

1054
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: probably led to lots of people across the world dropping

1055
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: out of college. So back to that old email, Just

1056
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: keep not masturbating. It's gonna your life's gonna be a

1057
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: lot better. All right. We were in the apartment, and

1058
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 1: he never washed the dishes or contributed anything to the

1059
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: chores we had to do to keep the place decent.

1060
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: He always cat called girls in public every time we

1061
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: were in the car when we drove to get dinner

1062
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: after I made him drop out. He just accepted it,

1063
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: and now he's in the military and I haven't heard

1064
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: anything after that since I kind of feel bad about

1065
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: it now and don't at the same time, Wait a minute, Okay,

1066
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: you logged in to your roommate's college account dropped out

1067
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: of college by hitting a button. Can you even? I

1068
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: guess I was gonna say, can you even do that?

1069
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: But I guess how else would you do it? You

1070
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: do it? You enroll in this shit online. I guess

1071
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: you'd drop out online too, But then you need to

1072
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: you don't You have to verify something. And see, it's

1073
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: just funny to me that it's that easy. I also

1074
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,799
Speaker 1: believe you that it's that easy. It's also it's hilarious

1075
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 1: that he just accepted it. Okay, this guy wanted to

1076
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: drop out of college easily. This guy did not want

1077
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: to be there. If what stopped this guy from going

1078
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: to college is the fact that you he could have

1079
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: easily gone to the administration and said it was a mistake,

1080
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: but he didn't, so you can probably feel less bad

1081
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: about the fact that he didn't want to be there. Anyway,

1082
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,560
Speaker 1: this guy was jacking off the entire time and not

1083
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 1: do this. Guy didn't want to be in college, so

1084
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't right to drop out for him. But you

1085
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 1: didn't ruin his dreams. He didn't really have any. I

1086
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it sounds like the military is better

1087
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: for him. He'll jack off way less of the military,

1088
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 1: or maybe more. I don't know. I'd love to join

1089
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: the show one day and call you, but it costs

1090
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: so much money and usually when you stream it's like

1091
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: four am for me. But just to clarify, it is

1092
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: free to call into the stream, but it's less free

1093
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: if you live in a foreign cunt tree. Not because

1094
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: I hate people who live in foreign countries, but because

1095
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: the cell phone companies do. And by the way, they

1096
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: don't pay me. I don't make people who call in

1097
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: and pay it just they get billed by their phone

1098
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: for international calls. Anyway, whatever, I love the jazz music

1099
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: between the calls from the old podcast episodes. Just want

1100
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: to say I miss them. We still have the jazz

1101
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: music in there. I wish you'd come over here in

1102
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: Oman one day and get to talk to strangers. I

1103
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: think that'd be pretty awesome. Love you, man. Hope the

1104
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 1: Lord brings our souls together in the Kingdom of Heaven

1105
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: when we die. I hope you take care, dude. I'll

1136
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 1: that multiple people are sending me Pokemon cards today. Also,

1137
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you tried Zelda Echoes of Wisdom.

1138
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: I loved it, and you talked about Zelda a bit

1139
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: and you might like it, you know. Okay, So I

1140
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: did play Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, and here's my review.

1141
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: I just want to I just here's what's said about

1142
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 1: this is gonna. I know, like ninety nine percent of

1143
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: people who are about to hear this, I'm not gonna

1144
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: give a fuck. But the one percent that played the

1145
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: Zelda games might. Here's my thing about Zelda. Echoes of

1146
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,679
Speaker 1: Wisdom all I want. First of all, I think Breath

1147
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 1: of the Wild and Tears of the King them are

1148
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: overrated and everyone dick rides them. They're not Zelda games.

1149
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: They're like trying to make a They're like, it's like

1150
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: a new kind of a game. It's not Zelda. It's

1151
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: like a RPG thing in the Zelda universe, but it's not.

1152
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,839
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like a Zelda game. I want a boring,

1153
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: linear Zelda game like we had with Twilight, Princess, Ocarina

1154
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 1: of Time, Win Waker. Just I want the boring game

1155
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: where you're like, holy shit, I got the boomerang, that's awesome.

1156
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: Holy shit, I got the bow and arrow, that's I

1157
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 1: want a boring linear Zelda game. I don't want to

1158
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:40,719
Speaker 1: do chores in your fake universe. I would buy fucking

1159
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: Animal Crossing if that's what I wanted to do, but

1160
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to play Animal Crossing. I don't want

1161
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,719
Speaker 1: to play Final Fantasy. I want to play the Legend

1162
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: of fucking Zelda. And all these games are all the

1163
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: Breath of the Wild and anyway, So Echoes of Wisdom

1164
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:57,720
Speaker 1: so many people just don't care about this. You can

1165
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: fast forward through this if you don't care, Okay. Echoes

1166
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:06,840
Speaker 1: of Wisdom is like it's like somewhere in between. It's like, okay,

1167
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: we've here's all the here's all the like, oh, open world,

1168
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: whatever you can, you have magical power shit from Breath

1169
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom and like

1170
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: Linear Zelda. It's a nice in between. And it was

1171
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 1: a fun game. I I what happened was I was

1172
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:25,600
Speaker 1: playing it and then I got bored, and then I

1173
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 1: stopped and I didn't finish it. That's my review anyway,

1174
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: all right, Sorry, I don't know why I ranted about Zelda. Well,

1175
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:34,960

Speaker 1: What does OVA stand for? Oh? Original Video animation? Okay, yeah,

1207
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch this. So I'm gonna watch the Sonic

1208
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:48,719
Speaker 1: movie tonight. Not that no, not no, not that Sonic movie.

1209
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 1: That one's bullshit. I'm gonna watch the Japanese animated one

1210
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: from the nineteen nineties. That sounds way better, all right,

1211
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: Oh crap. I listened to every podcast while I build Legos,

1212
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 1: Star Wars ships and while playing Stardu Valley or Minecraft.

1213
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: Thanks Evan, I hope you're enjoying. You sound like you're

1214
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: living a chill life. Let gonna keep going. Uh. Okay,

1215
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: this is from Matthew. Subject line M's Magical Adventure to Florida. Okay,

1216
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:25,480
Speaker 1: this is from Matthew. Hello, I was once an exterminator.

1217
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 1: My life was miserable. Those are three distinct sentences, each

1218
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: with their own period, which I really like. Hello, I

1219
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 1: was once an exterminator. My life was miserable. Then my

1220
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: girlfriend gave me the option to move to Florida with her.

1221
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to lose her, so I obliged. I

1222
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 1: got all ready to move. This guy loves this. You guys,

1223
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 1: remember in the very beginning, when that lady sent an

1224
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: email with no periods. This guy has the opposite problem.

1225
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: He uses too many periods. He uses only periods. This

1226
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 1: guy wrote, you could take half the pyramid. You could

1227
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: take pyramids. You could take half the periods of this

1228
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: that are in this guy's email and give them to

1229
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: the lady from the very beginning, and it would balance

1230
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: it out all right. Anyway, I got all ready to move.

1231
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 1: I also told one of the office members that I

1232
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: watched killer clowns from outer space five times a week.

1233
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: Then I asked him for five hundred dollars to start

1234
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 1: a cane toad farm to then summon the clowns to Earth.

1235
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 1: Uh okay, I'm just gonna keep reading. I had a

1236
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: few of the other guys passively bring this up to

1237
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 1: him and express how weird it was. My goal was

1238
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 1: to have him think I had lost my mind, because

1239
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: extermination is a terrible job, and it will do that

1240
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 1: to you. I think if you're trying to convince people

1241
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 1: that you lost your mind by asking them for money

1242
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: to start a cane toad farm, you may very well

1243
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: have already lost your mind. He never fully bought into it.

1244
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: He normally hit me with I don't want to hear

1245
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 1: about your damn toads. I think he called on and

1246
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:03,919
Speaker 1: would ask me about the clowns. What the fun? Don't

1247
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: what is this email? He was a cool guy. So

1248
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: with that, I move. Okay, So that was something that

1249
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with any of what the actual

1250
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 1: email is about I. And with that, let me tell you,

1251
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: Florida is the worst place in the world. The people suck,

1252
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: the layout sucks, the driving sucks, everything sucks. It took

1253
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 1: me a month to find a job. It's an hour

1254
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: away from my house, and I hate it endlessly. It's

1255
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: a place called Moe's. Think Chipotle, but a little more depressing. Okay,

1256
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump in here. I know Mo's, Uh, Moe's

1257
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 1: big around Atlanta, so I guess it's a big Southern thing.

1258
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: All right. Look, I know you're complaining, but Moe's of Okay.

1259
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:57,960
Speaker 1: Between Moe's, Chipotle and Couidoba, Moe's clear winner. First of all,

1260
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: it comes. First of all, every comes with chips. Some

1261
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: people are like some people who've never been to mos

1262
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: and have only been to Chipotle and Guidoba. Just heard

1263
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 1: me say that, and they're like, impossible, not real, what

1264
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 1: do you mean? It comes with chips, It comes with

1265
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: every order at Mo's comes with chips. The case is

1266
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 1: a lot better at Mo's. And also the vibe is

1267
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:27,600
Speaker 1: less pretentious, like Chipotle is a very pretentious brand and

1268
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Moe's is a little bit more fast food vibes. Anyway,

1269
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: I think I work at a place called Mo's. It's

1270
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: Chipotle but a little more pressing. The customers are terrible,

1271
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: and I spend my days watching NBA and football on

1272
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: TV and sports betting because that's all Florida has been

1273
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: able to do for me. I am up on that. However,

1274
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,679
Speaker 1: maybe soon I'll have my sports millions. It has breathed

1275
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: new life into my otherwise blah existence. I miss my

1276
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: friends and family and want to start never and I

1277
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 1: want to start never seeing Florida again. Don't live in Florida.

1278
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: Only bad things happen in Florida. Anyways, I hope you

1279
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: have a good day and get a good pizza soon.

1280
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: Thank you for the hours of entertainment you've provided us.

1281
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: All Okay, it sounds like you're going to leave Florida.

1282
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: You absolutely should. I anyone who hates where they are

1283
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: this badly needs to leave. What's the deal? I guess Yeah,

1284
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: this is one of those things where I wish I could. Uh. Well, actually,

1285
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm very I'm content with this just being an email,

1286
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:36,640
Speaker 1: But if I were to be on the phone with

1287
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: this guy, I'd be curious what his girlfriend's deal is

1288
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: and why she can't move with them, Why you know

1289
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 1: they can't go live? And does she like Florida?

1290
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 3: No?

1291
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: Do they both fucking hate Florida. I like Mo's. I'm

1292
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: sorry it makes me like Mo's less that I'm thinking

1293
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 1: about you working there and hating it. It actually doesn't.

1294
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 1: I love Mo's a lot, and I'm gonna keep going there.

1295
01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, I hope you leave Florida. I've only heard

1296
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: bad things about Florida. I mean, I've been to Florida

1297
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: billions of times, but most of the people who live

1298
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:14,880
Speaker 1: there say that they don't like it. Florida is where

1299
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: old Jewish people usually go to retire. I don't know

1300
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: if I used to. When I was growing up, I

1301
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 1: thought it was a Jewish thing, but I actually think

1302
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: it's just like a general old person thing to retire

1303
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: to Florida. My dad just got back from Miami. He

1304
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: said he had a nice time. So yeah, you know,

1305
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 1: it's fine that you don't like Florida. But my dad

1306
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: said he went, he had a good time. So I

1307
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know who to believe, you or

1308
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: my dad. You know what makes me optimistic? You opened

1309
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 1: this by saying my life was miserable, So I'm gonna

1310
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: assume that maybe things have gotten better. Send us a

1311
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 1: follow up email when you leave Florida and see if

1312
01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: anywhere else is better. Uh. Okay, I have the ability,

1313
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: I think, to read one more of these before I'm

1314
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 1: going to go smoke weed and stare at a wall

1315
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 1: for a very very long time. All right, let's do

1316
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: all right, let's do this. Let's do this. Let's do

1317
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 1: You made me addicted the Panda Express. Okay, it's from Michael.

1318
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: Subject line, you made me addicted the Panda Express. Hello, Lyle,

1319
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: been watching you for two years now. We actually spoke

1320
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: on the phone a few months ago about my pepsi

1321
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,680
Speaker 1: addiction and pro wrestling journey. I remember that. I think

1322
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: that I think the name of that episode is called

1323
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 1: the Pepsi Quest. Happy to say I no longer drink pepsi,

1324
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: and the wrestling has been going very well. Wait, I

1325
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: thought that you were hold on. I thought that the

1326
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 1: pepsi quest was a quest to drink more pepsi, which

1327
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: is probably bad because pepsi will kill you. I say

1328
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 1: that as someone who drinks a lot of pepsi. A

1329
01:23:57,760 --> 01:23:59,759
Speaker 1: few months you, guys ever seen that clip of Britney

1330
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: Speak years talking about pepsi. It makes the word pepsi

1331
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: fun to say. Okay, a few months ago, you released

1332
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 1: an episode where you discussed Panda Express with someone, which

1333
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: made me curious because I've never tried it before. Long

1334
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 1: story short, I now get the double orange chicken plus

1335
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 1: fried rice plate three to four times a week, and

1336
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: I hold you partially responsible. What should I do? What

1337
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: should you do?

1338
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 3: Like?

1339
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 1: Are you trying to quit? What you should do? What

1340
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: you should do is you should email Panda Express and

1341
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: tell them that they should give me money to talk

1342
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 1: about them on my various platforms. Or they don't even

1343
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: have to give me money, if they just gave me

1344
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: like a gold card that I could just you. I

1345
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 1: actually would do an advertisement for Panda Express just for

1346
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: like a golden Panda card or something like that. What

1347
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 1: should you do? Why would you get double orange chicken?

1348
01:24:57,439 --> 01:24:59,639
Speaker 1: Michael do this? Why would you get double orange chicken?

1349
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: Why would the whole point of getting two proteins or

1350
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 1: two entrees? I think it's thet The whole point of

1351
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: getting two entrees is that you can mix it up

1352
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh, why would you go double orange chicken?

1353
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 1: Go orange chicken? Well, here's what I uhould do. I

1354
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 1: go orange chicken taraoki chicken. But sometimes I mix it up.

1355
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes I get the honey nut glazed shrimp, and that's

1356
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 1: pretty good too. So I would suggest you try a

1357
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 1: few more of those entrees. I sound like I'm doing

1358
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: an advertisement for Penna Express, but this is my genuine

1359
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 1: advice to this man is to try the honey nut

1360
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: lazed chicken. It won't change your life. It won't even

1361
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 1: it's not even good for you. It's not healthy, it

1362
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:43,640
Speaker 1: won't it's a it's got protein. I guess, yeah, I

1363
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: don't have any advice for how you can make your

1364
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 1: life better, but you are. You said that you don't

1365
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 1: drink pepsi and the wrestling is going well, So maybe

1366
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 1: you don't need your life to be better. Maybe your

1367
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: life's good as it is. Do you have any advice

1368
01:25:55,040 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 1: for me on how to stop drinking PEPSI right, I

1369
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 1: think that's it. I think that's the end of this podcast.

1370
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 1: Thank you all for listening, Thank you all for being here.

1371
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 1: This I felt good about this one. I felt good

1372
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: about this one. This This was powered by diet Mountain Dew.

1373
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 1: I genuinely feel as though if I didn't have caffeine

1374
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,799
Speaker 1: coursing through my veins, I wouldn't be able to speak

1375
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 1: the way I'm speaking right now. That's probably a problem.

1376
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:33,560
Speaker 1: I really don't like giving advice. I like, well, I

1377
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: like reading these emails, and it's fun to express myself.

1378
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 1: But sometimes when I give advice, I'm like, I don't

1379
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 1: know about that, But I don't know. People say it,

1380
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 1: people have the fact that people still listen to this

1381
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:49,680
Speaker 1: show and that they enjoy it, I guess is indicative

1382
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 1: of me that my advice has not done significant harm

1383
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 1: or damage to society, which I guess is all one

1384
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 1: can hope for when one gives advice. Anything else, Oh

1385
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: a lot of okay, I guess I'll just a lot

1386
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: of people ask how they can call into the show.

1387
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 1: And here's the thing I don't have a stream schedule anymore.

1388
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 1: I stopped having a stream schedule long ago because because

1389
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: I didn't want to. But I stream at least twice

1390
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 1: a week at random times. I usually do it at

1391
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 1: like in the mornings. So if you want to call

1392
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 1: into the podcast, go to twitch, dot tv, slash lyle

1393
