I found that I 29 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: was pregnant. I was able to like stay clean through 30 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: all this, but this dude's like like struggled with his sobriety, 31 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: which I understand and everybody understands whenever you're like going 32 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: through rehabilitation. But crazy, crazy, crazy stuff he turned out 33 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: Like whenever I talked to him in the beginning about 34 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: like children and stuff, he told me he didn't have any, 35 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: but he had been like deployed in Germany before and 36 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 2: he'd had a child in Germany. Like this whole shabang 37 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: where like this German girl like ended up talking to 38 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: me like months later about it. I was already pregnant 39 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: at that point. He went into like a veteran's homeless 40 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: shelter and started getting into like really hard drugs even 41 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 2: though he'd been sober up till then and stuff. So 42 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 2: now I'm just kind of like taking care of him 43 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: because he lives in a state separate from like all 44 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: of his family and stuff. I just kind of like, 45 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: like last week I spent like one hundred dollars on 46 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: groceries for him. I'll like randomly bring him joints so 47 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: he doesn't drink.

I think it helps in the moment. 321 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: But one of the things that I don't like about 322 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: therapy is that, well, it's such an individual thing because 323 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: for some people who maybe have trouble processing their own emotions, 324 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 1: like it's helpful to talk them out. For me, I'm 325 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: a big journal a guy Like I journal almost every 326 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: day and I've been doing it regularly for like eight years, 327 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: and that's therapy. That's therapy for me is journaling. That's 328 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: how I get out my emotions and my thoughts and 329 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: my feelings. For a little bit, I was like, I 330 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: haven't been doing this that much recently, but I had 331 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: a phase where I was like writing journals and then 332 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: copy pasting them into chat GPT and being like, what 333 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: do you think about this?

There's not 372 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 5: like a line in the sand that makes you good 373 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 5: therapists bad therapist other than the like ethically incorrect things 374 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 5: to do, which there are. 375 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, man, I I, Uh, it sounds trite, 376 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: But the more I do this show, and the older 377 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: I get, and the more I think about stuff, and 378 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: the more I ride the roller coaster of my own life, 379 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: the more I just have less and less answers to 380 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: any of the things, right and I and therapy, and 381 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: therapy is kind of there for you to work out 382 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: the answers to your own things. But therapy is not 383 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: like a pill you can take to change your life. 384 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 1: It's not like, uh, you know, I don't know. Sometimes 385 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: you have to do stuff. That was the thing that 386 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: was why I got sick of therapy is I was 387 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: talking about my problems, and uh, I thought about a 388 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: couple of things. For first of all, this this might 389 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: sound insane, but when I was regularly going to therapy 390 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: and regularly journaling about my problems, part of me, part 391 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: of me thought to myself, by by talking about this stuff, 392 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: what's what's the line between talking through your problems in 393 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: a healthy way versus talking about your problems and thinking 394 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: about them so much that you center your life around 395 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: your problems. And uh, I got to a point where 396 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: I was like, I think, I'm I think the center 397 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: piece of my life is not My joy is not 398 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: the my relationships. It's not what I have. It's my 399 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: fucking bullshit, fucking ship that I'm always complaining about in 400 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: my journal or in therapy. And to what point is 401 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: it healthy for me to work these things out? Versus 402 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: to what point do I just go? You know what, 403 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna try to think about things differently, and 404 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to, uh do the most annoying thing 405 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: of all time, which is take some form of actual 406 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: action whatever that looks like, to deal with my problems 407 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: instead of just repeating them over and over and fucking 408 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: over again. I don't know what the. 409 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 5: Healthy awareness is like the first step, but it don't 410 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 5: do shit. It's like it's cool, It's like, ah cool, 411 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 5: now I know I have a problem, But like, fuck, 412 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 5: what am I supposed to do now?

I'm trying to become 420 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: more of one. But the more you talk through your 421 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: problems and the less you take an action or doing 422 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: anything about him, you just you just wind up being 423 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: a just from from I'm saying this from experience, the 424 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: more you just wind up being like a sad sack, 425 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: you know, Like I and I I got and I 426 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: got kind of tired of it, and I was like, dude. 427 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 5: Now I've been doing I feel like I've been doing 428 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 5: a lot of like relearning about like what therapy is 429 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 5: just by being in school.

I think the beauty lies 683 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 1: in that and in enjoying the work more than it 684 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: does in uh any kind of material success, right because 685 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,280 Speaker 1: because your yeah, because your material success is everything leads 686 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,720 Speaker 1: back to the actual work of whatever it is you're doing. 687 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: So you can have material success and it's it's it's 688 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: it's great, and it's it can be beautiful, but uh, 689 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: it all comes back to you know, the work. I mean, 690 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 1: I mean in my life, it's like, uh, you know, whatever, 691 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: I go to interview Doja Cat and I do a 692 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: vice documentary and I tour Australia and you know, I 693 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: got all these cool things.

So if all you have 698 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 1: is the work and you don't have the material success 699 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: that you imagine, it's the same fucking thing because the 700 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: material success you imagine leads you right back to the work. 701 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: Right Like you you're always you're you're you're in this. 702 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: You're whether you're the most whether you're fucking making music 703 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 1: in your bedroom for zero people, or you're Kendrick Lamar. 704 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 1: You know, you're you're in the studio.

Maybe I'm just being a bummer and 832 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, and you should want to like, you know, 833 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, big dreams are good. Maybe I'm just jealous. 834 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm jealous of her. Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm 835 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: maybe I used to have I used to wanna. Uh well, 836 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,400 Speaker 1: actually I don't know. I mean, I think I accomplished 837 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 1: a lot of the things I used to wanna. I 838 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: used to wanna accomplish, you know, And so I feel 839 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: like I've seen what that looks like up close, and 840 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 1: it's different than what it looked like from afar, and 841 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 1: I feel like I've kind of learned a little bit. 842 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: And so that's why I settle the ship that I said. 843 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 1: But I also, I think being I also, i've become 844 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: less ambitious over the years. And it's actually one of 845 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 1: my problems that I've become a little bit less ambitious 846 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 1: over the years. I'd like to be more ambitious. I've 847 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 1: been pretty I mean, I started making crap a long 848 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 1: time ago. I've been making stuff and having ambitions for 849 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:19,480 Speaker 1: like fourteen years and yeah, maybe I was just jealous 850 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 1: of her ambition. I wanted to just zap it out 851 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: of her. But simultaneously, I also think I have a 852 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,399 Speaker 1: little bit of perspective on some of this stuff enough 853 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 1: to that I that I believe. I believe in everything 854 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:37,399 Speaker 1: I said. But yeah, whatever, I maybe I just want 855 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:45,959 Speaker 1: to Grammy.
