Speaker 1: How I'm good? How are you? What's going on?
Speaker 3: Baby? Nothing much?
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I was looking at your stream and I had gek
Speaker 3: in the last four letters, and I had to wait
Speaker 3: to have flashed for the numbers because I never really
Speaker 3: got that.
Speaker 1: What are you doing right now?
Speaker 3: I'm sitting at my desk this watching.
Speaker 1: Hanging out with hanging out? Well, well, listen, man, is
Speaker 1: there anything in particular you called in to want to
Speaker 1: talk about?
Speaker 3: No, I've just been a long time fan. I think
Speaker 3: it's an interesting what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Thanks, man. Hmmm, all right, let me think of something.
Speaker 1: What's the most horrible thing you've ever seen?
Speaker 3: The most horule thing I've ever seen? Hmmm. I think
Speaker 3: it's when I was giving birth to a goat, well
Speaker 3: assisting aiding giving birth to a goat, and then like
Speaker 3: it got kind of like ripped in half. Because I
Speaker 3: don't know why it happened. I guess I tugged too
Speaker 3: hard and through weird experience for me, I think, you know,
Speaker 3: people think about agriculture and they never think about, you know,
Speaker 3: how a goat gives birth or whatnot?
Speaker 1: You how did you rip a goat in half?
Speaker 3: Well? I think it was a prettymature goat, so like
Speaker 3: the mother started like crowning and you have to pick
Speaker 3: it by behind legs and I don't think it was
Speaker 3: ready to be born yet, I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 3: a veterinarian.
Speaker 1: What so, what the fuck were you doing? What were
Speaker 1: you doing helping a goat give birth? If you're not
Speaker 1: a veterinarian?
Speaker 3: Well, what are you gonna do at like three am
Speaker 3: on the farm? Right? You're gonna call a vet out there? No,
Speaker 3: you're can try and help the goat out an assistant
Speaker 3: labor or whatever.
Speaker 1: So, like, are you when you get so like you
Speaker 1: were holding the head of the goat and then eventually
Speaker 1: you were just had the head? Oh you're holding back? Wait,
Speaker 1: so you you ripped the goat, You ripped the mom
Speaker 1: and a and a half for the baby.
Speaker 3: In half the kid.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, that's a good that's a good answer
Speaker 1: to the question. Thank you for answering. Honestly, Well, you're welcome.
Speaker 3: You kind of called me off guard with that. I
Speaker 3: wasn't kind of expecting that, but yay, you got it.
Speaker 1: Man, No, somebody who wasn't expecting to have an answer,
Speaker 1: you definitely had an answer.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you're happy.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I'm happy, but I'm I'm satisfied. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know the word to express how
Speaker 1: I feel about the interaction that we just had. But
Speaker 1: why are you giving birth to goats? What's do you
Speaker 1: live on a farm?
Speaker 3: Well, I lived on a farm when I was growing up,
Speaker 3: and maybe that was the reason, because you know, it
Speaker 3: was like an adolescent I didn't know what I was doing.
Speaker 3: Maybe that was like a rite of passage for my
Speaker 3: parents or whatever, you know, like, oh see how an
Speaker 3: animal gives birth and assisted in that and it didn't
Speaker 3: turn out well, I don't think they were too happy
Speaker 3: with my performance.
Speaker 1: Oh that was the very first time you gave birth,
Speaker 1: you helped to go give birth.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it's the first time, you know, I
Speaker 3: always aided guy like the bucket cleaned up the afterbirds,
Speaker 3: you know, but I guess it was my first hands
Speaker 3: on type of situation.
Speaker 1: Okay, man, isn't that That's the weird thing about the
Speaker 1: medical field, right, is that there's always a first Like
Speaker 1: there have been several babies born where the whoever's helping
Speaker 1: birth the baby, the obg U I and the doctor
Speaker 1: person which their first one. I mean, I'm sure that
Speaker 1: there's like they've done it a lot of times, like
Speaker 1: with supervision, but there's always there has to be the
Speaker 1: first time you do it with no training wheels, and
Speaker 1: they probably ripped a lot of kids in alf so
Speaker 1: you know what, I wouldn't feel too bad about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I suppose so, yeah, go ahead, please continue. No, yeah, okay, no,
Speaker 3: I didn't think I was going to get through. It's like,
Speaker 3: it's very late in the morning here, I'm just setting
Speaker 3: at my desk.
Speaker 1: Early in the morning. Where what what time is it
Speaker 1: where you are right now?
Speaker 3: It's three in the morning.
Speaker 1: It's three in the morning, and you're on the phone
Speaker 1: with a gecko telling him about the time that you
Speaker 1: ripped a baby goat in half. How do you feel
Speaker 1: about your life right now?
Speaker 3: You know, actually I feel pretty good.
Speaker 1: You should.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my life hasn't always been so stable. I just
Speaker 3: got accepted into engineering college. I got a new jobs.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: What's the job?
Speaker 3: It's an it?
Speaker 1: What do you what do you? What do you? Are
Speaker 1: you big? Are you a big computer man? No?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I've studied it in the past, and
Speaker 3: I've worked in the field as well as customer service.
Speaker 3: But I think like it's it's a step in the
Speaker 3: right direction.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's It's funny to me because you grew up
Speaker 1: on a farm, which is very you know, farming, and
Speaker 1: I think of computers as being very computery, and that
Speaker 1: those are those are sort of opposites.
Speaker 3: Oh that could be. I couldn't. I wouldn't say it's
Speaker 3: the opposite. I mean a lot of people think of
Speaker 3: farm work as you know, taking a hoe to the
Speaker 3: ground and plowing rows. But now our tractors are guided
Speaker 3: by GPS and there's a lot of math involved in calculations.
Speaker 3: So a lot of engineers or farmers.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: So what's your what's your dream in life? What's your
Speaker 1: ultimate goal?
Speaker 3: My ultimate goal? Well, I think I want to marry
Speaker 3: this woman in Sweden.
Speaker 1: Uh. Tell me about this woman in Sweden.
Speaker 3: I met her when I was a freshman in college.
Speaker 3: It's just everything she says about her life is just
Speaker 3: kind of like a fairy toe to me, doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3: They have wild parties and raves and all types of
Speaker 3: intoxicants and imbibing and plenty of days off.
Speaker 1: Mm hm. So you want to live with her so
Speaker 1: that you can get a visa and move to Sweden
Speaker 1: and you and her can live the sweetest dream.
Speaker 3: Well, No, she doesn't live in Sweden. She lives in
Speaker 3: the Netherlands. She actually doesn't want to live in Sweden,
Speaker 3: but I want to go to Sweden because it's cold.
Speaker 1: You like the cold.
Speaker 3: I do like the cold, but personally I believe winter
Speaker 3: is going extinct, so I want to move somewhere very cold.
Speaker 1: Oh, because of global warming?
Speaker 3: Correct? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Netlands is awesome too, though. I mean there's
Speaker 1: plenty of raving and drugs, and there's play of raving
Speaker 1: and intoxication over there. If you want to do that,
Speaker 1: if that's your your mo.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 3: if that's my m It does seem like a very
Speaker 3: easy way of life.
Speaker 1: Hey, look tell that to the folks in rehab. Okay,
Speaker 1: So how did you meet this Swedish woman?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I know you said you were freshman in college, but
Speaker 1: what was the deal? Were you studying abroad?
Speaker 3: No? I wasn't. She actually came to like my co
Speaker 3: dunk University out in the middle of a cornfield, and
Speaker 3: I was just known to hang out with the international
Speaker 3: students and at first, you know, I wasn't really interested
Speaker 3: in her but her friend. And then as time grew Well,
Speaker 3: I wasn't so interested in her friend, but more than her,
Speaker 3: and I feel like, you know, after I got to
Speaker 3: know her, I've gone fond of her.
Speaker 1: M What uh? Why why were you interested in her
Speaker 1: friend and not her first? What was what was attracting
Speaker 1: you about the friends?
Speaker 3: She was German?
Speaker 1: Uh? You have German fever?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so. I guess that type of personality
Speaker 3: has always got to you.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe the austere personality of the German women. Okay,
Speaker 1: and then how would you describe the Swedish girl?
Speaker 3: Very kind, very sweet, she bakes and you know it
Speaker 3: seems to be pictures of her cakes and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Damn, she sounds cool. I can see why you want
Speaker 1: to marry her and do mommy all day.
Speaker 3: Maybe not so much as drugs, but you know something settled.
Speaker 1: Down with Well, Molly is a drug. But are you good?
Speaker 1: Are you ever gonna go visit her in the Netherlands?
Speaker 3: I think so. I I'm planning a trip to Mexico
Speaker 3: and I want her to meet me down there.
Speaker 1: So okay, she's gonna come meet you in Mexico.
Speaker 3: Well that's the plan. Who knows? Bode Willing and the
Speaker 3: creek don't rise?
Speaker 1: Are you okay? So let's say, so is the deal
Speaker 1: with this? I am going to Mexico. You can come
Speaker 1: with me if you'd like, but if you don't come,
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna go.
Speaker 3: That's correct. Yeah, yeah, I'm still of Mexico.
Speaker 1: Yeah, gone by myself.
Speaker 3: Well maybe me and my dog. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, rock and roll. We're in Mexico.
Speaker 4: Uh, Mexico City.
Speaker 1: Mexico City. I went by myself to Mexico City, had
Speaker 1: a great time.
Speaker 3: How did you do it? What was the logistics I
Speaker 3: went on?
Speaker 1: I went on the internet and I booked stuff and
Speaker 1: then I physically got there. Okay, are you having are
Speaker 1: you having logistical issues?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm quite far away from Mexico, so me and
Speaker 3: my dog hopping in my car and driving?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well, like if you want to bring the dog,
Speaker 1: I have no idea how to get a dog to Mexico.
Speaker 1: That sounds it sounds like a fun adventure taking a
Speaker 1: dog to Mexico. I went without a dog. I don't
Speaker 1: have a dog. But mm, why you awake at three
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3: My new job starts like in a couple of weeks, well,
Speaker 3: not even a couple of weeks in like a week.
Speaker 3: So I figured, hey, man, I might as well live
Speaker 3: it up. You know, this might be the last weekday
Speaker 3: I get to stay up like this.
Speaker 1: So what do you do when you stay up really late?
Speaker 3: I play war Thunder and I'll listen to a bunch
Speaker 3: of old eighties music.
Speaker 1: Okay, you said, how old are you? By the way,
Speaker 1: I can't tell if you're nineteen or thirty five?
Speaker 3: Closed I'm the median, I'm twenty five.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, you're my age?
Speaker 3: Really? Yeah? All right? Oh? Any advice to pass on
Speaker 3: to your fellow twenty five year old?
Speaker 1: Any advice to pass on to you? You know you
Speaker 1: don't need. I don't think you need my advice. You
Speaker 1: sound like you're living a good life. You have asked,
Speaker 1: you have dreams that seems well intentioned. You have you
Speaker 1: you're traveling around your goat, you're becoming an engineer. You've
Speaker 1: lived like you've persevered through trauma of killing a goat. Baby,
Speaker 1: if do you do you have any fucking advice for me?
Speaker 3: Don't get married?
Speaker 1: Did you get married?
Speaker 3: I did? Yeah?
Speaker 2: How'd that go bad?
Speaker 1: Why did it go bad?
Speaker 3: I don't know? I think it was like not more
Speaker 3: so one issue, but like compounded issues, you know, and
Speaker 3: just that gone.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, what were what were the issues? What was
Speaker 1: the main issue was the biggest? What issue made you
Speaker 1: the most upset? I'm sorry, what issue made you the
Speaker 1: most upset?
Speaker 3: The issue that made me the most upset? Okay, Y's
Speaker 3: she had a ferret, right, and we got this ferret together.
Speaker 3: We bought it, and uh, well, the fair would always
Speaker 3: fucking bite me. I'd be in my office working and
Speaker 3: it would only bite my feet. And then when it
Speaker 3: got tired of biting my feet, it would like crawl
Speaker 3: into my lap and like crawl all over me. And
Speaker 3: then when I confronted her, it was like, hey, Hopper,
Speaker 3: you know he's getting out of hand. Can we put
Speaker 3: him up? And she's like, no, Hopper needs his playtime.
Speaker 3: And I think that was one of the neils in
Speaker 3: the golfin you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: She chose the ferret over you.
Speaker 3: I think she did.
Speaker 1: Man, And look, I'm not gonna lie. You seem like
Speaker 1: a great guy, but in all fairness, fair, it's a
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And you know, I don't know, I could
Speaker 1: see myself divorcing my significant other over a ferret. So
Speaker 1: and now you have a dog, and does your dog
Speaker 1: bite you as your dog an asshole?
Speaker 3: No, my dog is my best friend in my entire world.
Speaker 1: That's sweet.
Speaker 3: He goes with me everywhere. In fact, the years me
Speaker 3: talking right now, and he's he's ready to go.
Speaker 1: Well, I hope you guys have a good look. I
Speaker 1: hope that you go to Mexico City. I hope this
Speaker 1: Swedish woman comes with you, because she seems really nice.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know if there's any future
Speaker 1: in that relationship, unless if one of you is willing
Speaker 1: to move. But I don't know. You could write each
Speaker 1: other letters, that's hound's romantic. I've enjoyed having this conversation
Speaker 1: with you. I feel like I feel like we're having
Speaker 1: a leap over.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you gek Man, it was a pleasure talking
Speaker 3: to you as well.
Speaker 1: Maybe one day I'd like to think that when you die,
Speaker 1: you'll be reincarnated as the baby goat that you killed,
Speaker 1: and then when you die as the goat, you're reborn
Speaker 1: again as you as a baby, and it's just an
Speaker 1: eternal cycle of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I never thought about that, but that sounds horrific,
Speaker 3: and thank you for implanting that in my mind.
Speaker 1: You have a good night.
Speaker 2: Ma'm thank you too. Oh hello, Hi, holy shit, man?
Speaker 4: How you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right, man? How are you?
Speaker 4: I've been better, but we're here living life.
Speaker 1: I've been better, but we're here living life. Is that
Speaker 1: do you tell? Okay? When you say we're here living
Speaker 1: life and you say it as a a way of
Speaker 1: dealing with whatever this thing is that you feel?
Speaker 4: What do you.
Speaker 1: What is you here living life feel like? And how
Speaker 1: is it a positive thing to counteract the negative things
Speaker 1: that you're feeling. I really hope that what I said
Speaker 1: just now made sense.
Speaker 4: I was kind of jumbled, but I think I got
Speaker 4: the gist.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being honest with me.
Speaker 4: Well, pretty much. I moved for a promotion and I
Speaker 4: hated it, so I quit. And now we're here.
Speaker 1: Where did you move to.
Speaker 4: Massachusetts from New York?
Speaker 1: That's not that bad?
Speaker 4: No, no, not terrible. People have hours from where I
Speaker 4: was before.
Speaker 1: People have walked from New York to Massachusetts. Yeah, no, thanks, Okay,
Speaker 1: did your family come with you? Do you have a family?
Speaker 3: Na?
Speaker 4: Nope. I I'm single and my family's in New York
Speaker 4: and other spots in the US.
Speaker 1: So, oh shit, what were you doing before you moved
Speaker 1: for this promotion?
Speaker 4: Same thing for the same company.
Speaker 1: Same thing for the same company. And then what how
Speaker 1: come you do you hate it less when you were
Speaker 1: in New York? Or had you just been hating it
Speaker 1: and you were like, fuck it, let's finally just leave.
Speaker 4: I didn't hate it as much before, but coming up here,
Speaker 4: basically I'm working on a branch that was not very
Speaker 4: established and basically being a good worker. I was putting
Speaker 4: basically picking up all everybody else's slack. Yeah, and then
Speaker 4: is not working.
Speaker 3: Hmm.
Speaker 1: Okay, So now that you've quit, what do you do
Speaker 1: you have a plan of what you want to do
Speaker 1: with yourself?
Speaker 4: Well, since I live in a state that's legal, and
Speaker 4: I liked some weed when it was illegal, maybe I'll
Speaker 4: do it now legally.
Speaker 1: I love that idea. I love so much that that's
Speaker 1: like I'm sure that there's lots of people who've made
Speaker 1: that made that jump before of like they started, like
Speaker 1: you know, it was an illegal drug dealer, maybe like
Speaker 1: in fucking high school or college or whatever, and then
Speaker 1: finally the laws you know, and look, they were just
Speaker 1: you know, I think if you dealt weed before it
Speaker 1: was legal. You're you're I don't think you're a criminal.
Speaker 1: I think you're just you're progressive. You know, you're ahead
Speaker 1: of the curve. Now, yes, and now you can deal
Speaker 1: with legally. It's so beautiful, you know, it's crazy, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: You ever have you been to I'm an idiot. Have
Speaker 1: you been to like a country where like weed is
Speaker 1: like super super illegal, where like they they'll throw you
Speaker 1: away for a long time.
Speaker 4: So I've never left the US, but I've been the
Speaker 4: states that are kind of like that.
Speaker 1: Which which state is? I don't you know the laws?
Speaker 1: I assume what states are like that.
Speaker 4: Texas isn't too good on weed laws, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: And is that state like all the people who are
Speaker 1: like getting super stoned in Austin, are they subject to
Speaker 1: the same laws or is there like city laws or something.
Speaker 4: I think they're subject to the same laws. I think
Speaker 4: it depends, though, I'm not, like, you know, no, no,
Speaker 4: no way, am I an expert at Texas weed laws.
Speaker 1: That sucks that even like if you're like, if you like,
Speaker 1: if you're just a cool guy in a leather jacket
Speaker 1: smoking weed outside of a bar or something, they'll still
Speaker 1: arrest you.
Speaker 2: I believe.
Speaker 1: So that's crazy. How long did you sell weed illegally
Speaker 1: for a good couple of years? Okay, and this was
Speaker 1: in New York? Yeah, was that your with these couple
Speaker 1: of years? Was that your full time gig was selling
Speaker 1: selling pot?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: For a bit? I pretty much started up when I
Speaker 4: was between jobs, and then it continued to supplement my
Speaker 4: income once I found another job.
Speaker 1: Okay. You know, did you have fun selling weed?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I had a lot of friends in college and in
Speaker 1: high school who sold weed, and I always thought it, like,
Speaker 1: it always seemed fun to me, and they were always
Speaker 1: stressed out, and I'm sure it was stressful for them,
Speaker 1: but I always it always seemed fun to me because
Speaker 1: they were always like zipping around town and like, you know,
Speaker 1: they they made all these friends from it and stuff.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: Almost like kind of like a social thing at the
Speaker 4: same time as it is, you know, a job, right.
Speaker 4: You know I had friends that used to you know,
Speaker 4: deliver Chinese food until at the same time that was
Speaker 4: a blast.
Speaker 1: That does sound kind of fun. Would anyone do you think,
Speaker 1: oh I wanted to walk up, But were you worried
Speaker 1: about getting quants.
Speaker 4: Ah, yeah, I mean Tankley, I got caught once. But
Speaker 4: what happens, well, that's a bit of a story. You
Speaker 4: want me to tell the whole thing or summarize it.
Speaker 4: You want to start in the middle, and then we'll
Speaker 4: start at the beginning. I just how you want to
Speaker 4: do this?
Speaker 1: Do you want to tell me? You know what? What's
Speaker 1: your name again? I forgot Jimmy, Jimmy, I like you.
Speaker 1: I want to hear your story, all right.
Speaker 4: So, basically, driving with the buddy of mine and we
Speaker 4: see two of my friends in another car driving with me.
Speaker 4: You know, we're pulling up on them, and I decided
Speaker 4: to be an idiot speed and cut them off and
Speaker 4: be like, ah, I put them off and oncoming traffic
Speaker 4: the cop passed by. Basically he pulled the U turn,
Speaker 4: and then I remembered I had an ounce a weed
Speaker 4: in the glove box, and then I kind of half
Speaker 4: assed tried to run and then gave up. And then
Speaker 4: pretty much they gave me a shiploaded tickets and a
Speaker 4: week charge what.
Speaker 1: And but they well, what's stay was this New York?
Speaker 1: All right? So it was they don't like lock you up.
Speaker 1: They just give you like a charge or did they
Speaker 1: did they lock you up or arrest you?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: They Yeah, technically you're like brought to the station and
Speaker 4: processed and then they just let you go.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy that people were.
Speaker 4: Like legal there now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so crazy that people were like locked up
Speaker 1: for some people were locked up for like a long
Speaker 1: time for stuff that like is you can go to
Speaker 1: a like an apple store looking place and buy it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's people still locked up for that.
Speaker 1: It really did they do? They didn't? They are there?
Speaker 1: I like, I bet this is something you could research. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I about this is something you could research. I don't
Speaker 1: know anything about. I'm talking with no knowledge of anything,
Speaker 1: but there must have been a campaign to like free
Speaker 1: those people who were, like, you know, got drug charges
Speaker 1: for drugs that are now legal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's only right. It's kind of a
Speaker 4: dick moved to leave them locked up after it's been legalized.
Speaker 1: Now when I when, I when do you think they're
Speaker 1: going to legalize cocaine? And and you can make like
Speaker 1: the apple store cocaine place.
Speaker 4: That just reminds me. There was actually in I think
Speaker 4: it's GTA five, there's a little blurb in the radio
Speaker 4: talking about a proposition to legalize cocaine, and that should
Speaker 4: always made me laugh. And that's what that just reminded
Speaker 4: me of.
Speaker 1: Do you think what do you do? You think they
Speaker 1: should make all drugs legal.
Speaker 4: At least like decriminalize and try to like treat people
Speaker 4: that are addicted instead of just treating it as a
Speaker 4: crime and shriven people in jail.
Speaker 1: What's the name of this? What's so you're going to
Speaker 1: start a weed store.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll probably start as a bud tender, but
Speaker 4: that'd be a pretty dope career plan.
Speaker 1: What now, I you know, when you go in, when
Speaker 1: you apply for a job as a bud tender, can
Speaker 1: you use past experience illegally selling drugs as part of
Speaker 1: your resume? Because I think you should.
Speaker 3: That's a good question.
Speaker 4: I feel like you should be able to use it.
Speaker 1: It's relevant experience to the job.
Speaker 4: But I don't know, but it is definitely relevant experience.
Speaker 4: You're definitely right.
Speaker 1: It'd be funny if you had like a you know,
Speaker 1: how so in high school, like the drug dealer, kids
Speaker 1: would like post a picture of a huge nug on
Speaker 1: their Snapchat story and just be like swipe up, Like
Speaker 1: if you just showed up to the interview with like
Speaker 1: a portfolio of the huge nug picks that you would
Speaker 1: post on Snapchat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can, I can market I'm a marketing exactly
Speaker 4: and exactly.
Speaker 1: You laugh. But it would be a good if I
Speaker 1: were hiring but tenders for my weed business, I would
Speaker 1: be like, Yes, I want this guy.
Speaker 4: Look at me put in the effort. He knows.
Speaker 1: Mmmm. Okay, so you were well, so tell me this.
Speaker 1: You start out this conversation saying that you have been better,
Speaker 1: and yet it sounds as though, through us talking that
Speaker 1: you have a nice, uh I don't know, path forward
Speaker 1: for yourself. It sounds like you are optimistic about the future.
Speaker 1: What's what's the deal?
Speaker 4: Just I kind of feel stupid that I moved up
Speaker 4: here for this opportunity and I ended up painting it.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, it's kind of like if
Speaker 4: I didn't do it, I would have been questioning whether
Speaker 4: I should have or not?
Speaker 1: Right, Why do you feel stupid? Why do you feel stupid?
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense to feel stupid about that.
Speaker 4: Just because I guess just didn't work out.
Speaker 1: Basically, okay, hoped do you feel you feel like yeah,
Speaker 1: because you know, look not to not to act like
Speaker 1: a fake therapist on the internet. But this belief you
Speaker 1: have it that this was stupid is I hope you
Speaker 1: uh eradicate that from your brain because it doesn't it
Speaker 1: doesn't make a lot of sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I guess you're right. It's just negative
Speaker 4: thought processing for some reason.
Speaker 1: I mean, you were offered a position with more money
Speaker 1: and with the information that you had to go off.
Speaker 1: At the time, you were like, this could be a
Speaker 1: good idea. I you know, Actually, here, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you something. I think if you were still in the job,
Speaker 1: I think that would have been that would be stupid.
Speaker 1: I actually think you made the not stupid decision by leaving.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess, I guess I'm just considering it
Speaker 4: kind of stupid just because I don't have another job
Speaker 4: lined up one percent yet and I still got bills
Speaker 4: to pay. But I mean, I do have money in
Speaker 4: the bank. I didn't just feel like, yeah, I have
Speaker 4: no absolutely no plan, but still not trying to put
Speaker 4: a gigantic dent in my bank account at the same time.
Speaker 1: Well, you can go to the Taco Bell parking lot
Speaker 1: and get some references to put down on your resume
Speaker 1: and build up a giant portfolio of nugs, and I
Speaker 1: think you'll be on your way in your time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's that seems like a good place
Speaker 4: to start.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like I said, I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: this one more time. I think it would be stupid
Speaker 1: of you to waste your life, you know, staying at
Speaker 1: a thing you hate, especially if you know you feel
Speaker 1: like there's a different avenue to pursue. What are you
Speaker 1: gonna do tomorrow?
Speaker 4: What am I gonna do tomorrow? That's a good question.
Speaker 4: I don't really have a plan at the second.
Speaker 2: Is that is?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna start? Like when are you gonna start
Speaker 1: going door to door flyering yourself as the next hot
Speaker 1: bud tender in Massachusetts? Or are you going back to
Speaker 1: New York?
Speaker 4: Uh? No, I hate moving. I'm staying here for now.
Speaker 1: At least is we Is we legal in Massachusetts?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh sick, just like legal everywhere now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just pissed because they legalized it like right
Speaker 4: before I left New York, and I'm like, damn, I
Speaker 4: could just stay.
Speaker 1: It's okay. When are you are you gonna go tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Why don't you fly? Why don't you go around to
Speaker 1: all the weed shops and flyer yourself as a as
Speaker 1: a as the hot new bud tender in town.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I feel like most places don't do
Speaker 4: in person ship anymore. And you just say, ope, the
Speaker 4: applications online.
Speaker 1: Right, but you go I feel like I'm your father
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 4: You're right.
Speaker 1: But you go in and they see your face and
Speaker 1: then they use your like you took it too far.
Speaker 1: You go in, they see your face and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is a real guy. I like there's something to that.
Speaker 1: Right when they see your application, then you know.
Speaker 4: I guess puts a face to the application.
Speaker 1: I mean, you have nothing else to do tomorrow?
Speaker 4: No, no, not really. Maybe laundry that may be on
Speaker 4: my list of things to do tomorrow. Okay, I hate
Speaker 4: laundry as much as you say you hate laundry. I
Speaker 4: cannot stand laundry.
Speaker 1: I don't think you do. And you know how I
Speaker 1: know you do. You know how you know how I
Speaker 1: know you don't hate laundry as much as I hate laundry.
Speaker 4: Because I'm going to do it, because you're.
Speaker 1: Going to do it. So that was wrong that that
Speaker 1: you said that just now, you do not hate laundry. Actually,
Speaker 1: I did laundry yesterday and it's I have I have
Speaker 1: a pile I have. I have a pile of every
Speaker 1: time I do laundry. Fuck it up. It's my laundry
Speaker 1: is all soggy. I didn't put it in long enough,
Speaker 1: so I just have a pile of like soggy clothes
Speaker 1: in my part. Why not hung up? And you know
Speaker 1: what I want to do. I want to get high
Speaker 1: and forget about the laundry. But in order to do that,
Speaker 1: I need to live in a country populated by knowledgeable bud.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to link this back to our conversation knowledgeable
Speaker 1: bud tenders with with impeccable spirits such as yourself, Jared, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: and so go fucking get out there and put your
Speaker 1: You clearly have a knack for dealing drugs, and it
Speaker 1: would be a slight to the universe for you to
Speaker 1: not use it to your best ability.
Speaker 4: Oh, I appreciate that. I'm gonna put my nose to
Speaker 4: the grand stone and get out there.
Speaker 1: Is there anything else you want to say to me,
Speaker 1: or to God or to Jimmy Neutron before we go?
Speaker 4: Well, while I just want to appreciate, uh, you know,
Speaker 4: shreaming my appreciation for you taking my call tonight. Man.
Speaker 4: I mean it's only the second time I've ever watched
Speaker 4: you live. I literally just got a twitch to watch
Speaker 4: you live.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, hell yeah. Well I hope you enjoy all
Speaker 1: of the other things that twitch has to offer. Like
Speaker 1: you know, a guy playing Minecraft and not saying anything,
Speaker 1: there's some some people are really some people are somehow
Speaker 1: really good at playing Minecraft and not saying anything. I
Speaker 1: don't know why. I'm I'm not trying to talk to shit.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be funny and saying stupid things.
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, good luck to you, man, I when
Speaker 1: I don't next time I come to Are you in Boston?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm near Boston.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hopefully one day I'm gonna be in Boston with
Speaker 1: nothing to do, and I'll walk into a weed shop
Speaker 1: and there you'll be.
Speaker 4: There. I'll be waiting to help you out.
Speaker 1: God bless All right, Hey, good luck, team, I'll talk
Speaker 1: to you too.
Speaker 4: Have a good night.
Speaker 1: Le I don't know if I think all drugs should
Speaker 1: be legal. I hate talking about like any any even
Speaker 1: any even slightly any kind of social political philosophy thing
Speaker 1: on here, because then like one day I'm gonna like
Speaker 1: listen back to this and be like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck I mean. I never really know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but I guess all drugs should be legal
Speaker 1: and then everyone can just decide if the whether or
Speaker 1: not they want to do them. I did, all right,
Speaker 1: that was I'm moving on.
Speaker 2: Paul from Lindsay.
Speaker 1: Hello, Tie, Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay, what's going on with you? Lindsay?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm currently in a situationship.
Speaker 3: With my boss.
Speaker 1: Okay, tell me you tell me more.
Speaker 5: Am I on the stream right now?
Speaker 1: You are on the stream right now? Okay, you seem
Speaker 1: to be sorry. Yeah, well no, it's okay. You seem
Speaker 1: to let me ask you. Let me ask you a
Speaker 1: more specific question. You were in a situationship with your boss,
Speaker 1: and I can see, but could just the fact that
Speaker 1: you're calling me to talk about it, I'm going to
Speaker 1: assume that you have conflicting feelings about this situation you
Speaker 1: are in. So what are the conflicting feelings that you have.
Speaker 5: I'm definitely having conflicting feelings. I know that it's wrong.
Speaker 5: I know that it's a bad idea. However, we met
Speaker 5: on a dating app before I started at the place
Speaker 5: that I work at.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, look, let's break this. Tell me, tell me
Speaker 1: about the whole situation. How did you meet this guy?
Speaker 1: What's the deal? Where do you work or that? Give me,
Speaker 1: give me, give me the as they would call them,
Speaker 1: juicy details.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I work at like a chain restaurant kind
Speaker 5: of a little bit, so it's very fast paced and
Speaker 5: it's very fast food kind of thing. But it's a
Speaker 5: very close work environment. I will say, there's not very
Speaker 5: many people that work in the kitchen, and so that
Speaker 5: makes it very difficult to have this kind of situation,
Speaker 5: I guess.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you said that you you you said, I
Speaker 1: know it's wrong. Yeah. What what about this situation do
Speaker 1: you believe to be wrong?
Speaker 5: Hmm? Well, I mean just like the ethics of it,
Speaker 5: like the work code ethics of like the fact that
Speaker 5: he's my boss and I am under him technically, but
Speaker 5: we met as like individual people.
Speaker 1: And the thing, here's the thing. You work at a restaurant. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: you work at a restaurant. You don't work at the
Speaker 1: White House. Yes, that's so. So I think the general
Speaker 1: like you know, I mean, is let me ask you
Speaker 1: this is he is? Is this relationship affecting your work
Speaker 1: in some way?
Speaker 5: I would say.
Speaker 2: No, okay, just more.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, But.
Speaker 5: He didn't realize that it was me when I started
Speaker 5: working there. Does that make sense? M?
Speaker 1: So you guys met on a dating app and then
Speaker 1: you started working there and then he didn't realize and
Speaker 1: then and then he was like, oh shit, it's you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, after I brought it up because I realized and
Speaker 5: then I was.
Speaker 1: Like, oh fuck, okay, all right, do you like this guy?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Unfortunately, yes, Okay.
Speaker 1: Why is it unfortunate?
Speaker 5: Because like he's like really cool and I get along
Speaker 5: with him really well, and I really don't know, but
Speaker 5: it's not awesome because like he's my boss and I
Speaker 5: kind of want this job and I kind of want
Speaker 5: to still. Also I don't know, man, are you afraid?
Speaker 1: Are you let me? Okay? Because here's Are you afraid
Speaker 1: that if things were to go awry with this guy
Speaker 1: that it would then start to affect your, uh, your
Speaker 1: work environments?
Speaker 5: Like if things got weird between us, like if like
Speaker 5: we did something and then it did work out or
Speaker 5: something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if if you decided to break things off, what
Speaker 1: do you do you feel like that would affect the
Speaker 1: workplace in the workplace environments.
Speaker 5: He's really cool, so probably know because of how safe
Speaker 5: of a space he is. Honestly, if I'm being real.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, because that was what I was going to say,
Speaker 1: because I was going to say, look, if this dude
Speaker 1: really is, like, you know, a good guy, a nice guy,
Speaker 1: he I don't think he would. You know, you're at
Speaker 1: risk of him going some kind of weird retaliation mode
Speaker 1: upon you. You know. Yeah, if that is what you are
Speaker 1: afraid of, and.
Speaker 5: That's based on past things, you know?
Speaker 1: Okay? Have you okay? So I have you said it's
Speaker 1: based on past things. Have you been in a situation
Speaker 1: like this in the past that went poorly?
Speaker 5: No, I've been in a I've been in a really
Speaker 5: unfortunate relationship. I'll just say that I don't know.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, Okay.
Speaker 5: I can elaborate if you want, But it's like not
Speaker 5: an important thing right now, you don't.
Speaker 1: Well, only again, only if you think it's it's only
Speaker 1: if you think it's relevant to what we're talking about.
Speaker 5: I I would say, I'll just say that it's a
Speaker 5: relationship that has given me traumas that are very relevant
Speaker 5: to the things that I deal with day to day.
Speaker 5: So he has been very understanding and comforting in that,
Speaker 5: and that is one of the reasons I was so
Speaker 5: drawn to him because of how willing to help.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, how long have you been seeing this guy?
Speaker 5: So, so that's the thing. It's not like a we're
Speaker 5: not seeing each other or anything like that. We're just
Speaker 5: talking to each other.
Speaker 1: And do you do you have the do you have
Speaker 1: the desire or even vaguely see the potential for this
Speaker 1: to be like a actual boyfriend girlfriend thing.
Speaker 5: I don't. That's I don't know. I don't know. I
Speaker 5: like I in my delusional little headspace, I would love
Speaker 5: to think that. But also the other part of my
Speaker 5: cynical brain is saying, though.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute, you said, why why are you
Speaker 1: saying delusional headspace? Wow?
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, I have borderline personality disordered. This makes me
Speaker 5: overthink things a lot. Okay, Hen's why I watch your
Speaker 5: stream a lot.
Speaker 4: It makes me.
Speaker 5: It balances me out a lot.
Speaker 1: You I had to hear that. Well, so okay, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think here, so you so so okay, could
Speaker 1: you're like without judging the thoughts as as delusional or
Speaker 1: whatever it is, do you like plan and simple? Do
Speaker 1: you do you like this guy and desire to like
Speaker 1: date him date him.
Speaker 5: At this point in my life? No, because I I
Speaker 5: know I need to work on myself as a person.
Speaker 5: But it was open on the table for friends with
Speaker 5: benefits before. Okay, mmm, yeah, and that's why it's like
Speaker 5: a weird thing.
Speaker 1: Okay, so why did you Okay, it sounds like and
Speaker 1: tell me if i'm tell me if I'm reading this appropriately.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you like this guy. He's a good guy.
Speaker 1: You know, you have needs that he's fulfilling, and that's
Speaker 1: always nice. And for all that, I am understanding your
Speaker 1: your relationship with this guy has been a positive force
Speaker 1: in your life, but you are are concerned with how
Speaker 1: it might affect the workplace in the event it would
Speaker 1: go awry. Yet what you observe from him is that
Speaker 1: he's a nice guy and that you know he's a
Speaker 1: reasonable human being, and thus would not you know, go
Speaker 1: bonkers mode on you from from your judgment of from
Speaker 1: from your personal judgment of of him that you've been
Speaker 1: you know, made with the time that you've spent with him.
Speaker 3: M hmmm.
Speaker 1: Is that all accurate I'm getting at definitely okay. So
Speaker 1: mm hm take me take me to the to the
Speaker 1: to the to the end of the overthinking. Where does
Speaker 1: the overthinking ultimately? What negative place does this overthink ultimately
Speaker 1: lead us to? What's the worst? Are the worst case.
Speaker 5: Like him getting in trouble at his job?
Speaker 1: H oh, him getting in trouble.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I don't want him to get in trouble.
Speaker 5: I don't want anything to happen to him because, like
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, I'm the one who started later,
Speaker 5: like in work, you know, and I just don't want
Speaker 5: to be the one that comes in and screws it up.
Speaker 5: For is.
Speaker 1: Here's the is. It doesn't ever buddy in the restaurant industry,
Speaker 1: fucking dating, fuck each other.
Speaker 5: I mean, uh yeah, but this is like such close quarters.
Speaker 5: I've never worked in a restaurant disclose quarters. I've worked
Speaker 5: in restaurants before, but like, damn, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Sure, here's the thing I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say as far as it look at my personal opinion,
Speaker 1: as far as like ethics go, like I don't I
Speaker 1: your I think your status is a human being and
Speaker 1: his status as a human being are greater than your
Speaker 1: statuses of working at this restaurant. And therefore, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's inappropriate for you guys to you know, engage
Speaker 1: with each other as human beings do. So that aside,
Speaker 1: I understand you wanting to look at the situation and
Speaker 1: going like, how could this somehow negatively affect me or him?
Speaker 1: And it's a reasonable thing to to look at. But
Speaker 1: from everything you're telling me, and again you you are
Speaker 1: in this situation and you've you've kind of seems as
Speaker 1: though you've thought a lot about it. It does not
Speaker 1: seem as though it has like the potential for strong
Speaker 1: negative outcomes. But I don't I don't know. That's that's
Speaker 1: kind of the decision you have to evaluate and make.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I don't think it's like.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a I don't think it's morally reprehensible.
Speaker 1: It's again, it's not like you work at Like it's
Speaker 1: not like you're like a fucking you know, teacher, the
Speaker 1: ta or something. It's not it's not anything weird. It's
Speaker 1: just a restaurant.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I'm not being a freaking like pretter or anything.
Speaker 5: This is a normal okay. Okay, yeah, see it sounds
Speaker 5: a lot more normal and okay when I talk to
Speaker 5: you about it, So thank you for that.
Speaker 1: Have you talked to who else? Have you talk to
Speaker 1: you about this?
Speaker 4: Uh? No? One?
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I don't. I think it's I think it's okay.
Speaker 1: I think, like I said, I think your status is
Speaker 1: as human beings override your status is as a you know, uh,
Speaker 1: a waitress, even.
Speaker 5: Though like it's my manager.
Speaker 1: Well okay, so again the I'm not I have no
Speaker 1: moral concern over this. It's all about you making decision
Speaker 1: of if you think it will end, if you think
Speaker 1: it has the potential to end poorly for you. But
Speaker 1: from what you have told me, you believe that this
Speaker 1: guy is a good dude. And even if you had
Speaker 1: to come to him and be like, hey, I don't
Speaker 1: think this is going to work out. I don't want
Speaker 1: to see you in that way anymore, that he would
Speaker 1: be like, oh, that's totally cool, and that it wouldn't
Speaker 1: affect h you know, things at work. And if you
Speaker 1: believe that is true, then it does not sound like
Speaker 1: you have anything to worry about. Okay, Are there is
Speaker 1: there anything else floating around in this situation that you
Speaker 1: are feel as though you are overthinking or.
Speaker 5: I mean, like always everything just because of how I
Speaker 5: feel like my head works right now as it be,
Speaker 5: but specifically with this, it's just more like I don't
Speaker 5: want to project anything known to him or I don't
Speaker 5: want to make him have to worry about anything that's
Speaker 5: going on with me. And I also recognize that he
Speaker 5: cares about me as a person, and so I'm trying
Speaker 5: to find the line between like where that is as
Speaker 5: a friend who cares, where that is a situationip who cares,
Speaker 5: or where that is like wanting to go forward, And
Speaker 5: I literally can't figure out the difference.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you have a good line of
Speaker 1: communication with him? Do you feel like you can talk
Speaker 1: to him about these these things that you were thinking.
Speaker 5: Not on the phone but overtext?
Speaker 1: Yes, not on the phone but over text. Okay, but
Speaker 1: but community you can commute, you can talk to him
Speaker 1: about these things? Uh? None, nonetheless in some type of medium.
Speaker 5: Like but like, can I just like express my emotions
Speaker 5: about it?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: Yes I can for sure?
Speaker 1: Okay, good, all right, Well that's that's I feel like
Speaker 1: the most important thing. What do you make at this restaurant?
Speaker 1: What's that? What are they specialized in.
Speaker 5: Pizza?
Speaker 1: You work on a pizza restaurant?
Speaker 5: Yes, but I'm trying not to give too much d too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. Look, here's the thing. I don't
Speaker 1: think that I don't think this will be the biggest
Speaker 1: scandal in the pizza industry.
Speaker 5: Okay, you know you don't think Papa John beat it
Speaker 5: or anything.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I think I think you're going to be Okay, Okay, So.
Speaker 5: What what do I What do I do about this?
Speaker 5: What am I going moving forward?
Speaker 1: What do you do moving forward? What do you what
Speaker 1: do you do moving forward? What does that mean?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 5: Okay, so now we've established that it's not going to
Speaker 5: necessarily hurt, Like the world's not going to crumble if
Speaker 5: I do something about this, If I decide, hey, you
Speaker 5: want to you want to maybe take this somewhere or whatever.
Speaker 5: If the world's not going to crumble, then how do
Speaker 5: I approach this?
Speaker 1: Okay? So we've established that the world is not going
Speaker 1: to crumble. If you ask this guy if he wants
Speaker 1: to be your like a boy, like in a real
Speaker 1: relationship with you, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 5: If we just want to like flirt more and probably
Speaker 5: be friends with benefits and maybe that down the line.
Speaker 5: But like that's not anything I'm looking for right now.
Speaker 1: You said, you say exactly what you just told me
Speaker 1: to him.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Yeah, okay, is that?
Speaker 1: What? What are you? What do you is that? Does that?
Speaker 1: Does that sound like a difficult thing to do?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: For sure, it definitely difficult.
Speaker 1: Okay, but it's good. Practice's good, it's a good it's
Speaker 1: good practice.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 1: It's good to you know, you're working on communication skills.
Speaker 1: You could say, and you know, look, if you ever
Speaker 1: ask him for a promotion, you could bring this up
Speaker 1: as uh, you know, an example of your good communication skills.
Speaker 5: Well, no, it's so hard, like when we're having a
Speaker 5: serious day at work, because I can't just like look
Speaker 5: at him and like not think of like the pictures
Speaker 5: I've seen, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Well, what's your name again, Lindsay? Lindsay? Does he ever
Speaker 1: send you one of those pictures and you send back
Speaker 1: your like, damn, put that on a pizza?
Speaker 5: This is a fuck? No, oh fuck, that's hilarious though.
Speaker 5: Well no, it's only been like one picture, but like
Speaker 5: now it's been burned in my brain.
Speaker 1: Hole. Well, Lindsey, good luck to you. You're not you
Speaker 1: think you're gonna be okay? And uh, is there anything
Speaker 1: else that you want to say to the people of
Speaker 1: the computer before we go.

Speaker 1: a good update guy. I don't know why. I think
Speaker 1: it's because I don't like to alienate people who haven't
Speaker 1: who didn't hear the call already. So I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not a big update guy. I know people have been
Speaker 1: wanting updates. Maybe I should do updates. Maybe I'm just stubborn.
Speaker 1: But Basketball Dan, I mean, how long ago I don't
Speaker 1: know how long it was we talked. I still get
Speaker 1: comments all the time at about Basketball Dan.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna what if I told you the update was
Speaker 6: now I'm still cold Captain Basketball Dan hyphe in the
Speaker 6: FISTH logo.
Speaker 1: I told you I would tell you. I have no
Speaker 1: fucking idea what that means, as much as I had
Speaker 1: no idea what anything you were saying meant. The last
Speaker 1: time I talked to.
Speaker 4: You, good.

Speaker 3: I am at a bar, so I didn't think I
Speaker 3: was gonna get through.
Speaker 1: You're at a bar right now. You're like fully in
Speaker 1: public right now?
Speaker 6: Of course, Basketball Ban in his natural habitat.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I don't really know what to do with you,
Speaker 1: Basketball Dan. What did you do? Is there something you
Speaker 1: wanted out of this? Yeah?
Speaker 6: So the last time I called you were like, who
Speaker 6: was Basketball Dan? But and I was wondering, who is
Speaker 6: the therapy gecko?
Speaker 1: I'm not doing this, I'll do I'm not doing this
Speaker 1: with you, Basketball Dan.
Speaker 6: All right, check out.
Speaker 1: What bar? Are you at?
Speaker 4: What bar?
Speaker 1: Yeah?

Speaker 6: It's called Franken Tony, but they should rename it to
Speaker 6: Basketball Dan.
Speaker 1: So you still go buy a basketball Dan?
Speaker 6: Correct?
Speaker 1: And do you play basketball?
Speaker 6: Not at all? I don't need you because I'm Basketball Dan.
Speaker 1: Okay? Do you has your life changed in any meaningful
Speaker 1: way since we last talked? The only thing I really
Speaker 1: know about you is that your name is basketball Dan.
Speaker 1: I tried to get other answers from you, but they
Speaker 1: all kind of led back to your name being basketball Dan,
Speaker 1: right right, right?
Speaker 6: Well, so now now sometimes they call me stone Cold
Speaker 6: Captain Basketball Dan, hyphen the fifth logo, and I've made it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and okay, yeah that has this? Has that changed
Speaker 1: your life in any meaningful what? Well? You being named
Speaker 1: Here's like you being named Basketball Dan has had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with your actual life, and so you being
Speaker 1: named stone Cold whatever you just said, I assume also
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with your actual life or anything
Speaker 1: going on in it.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: I think you might be my arch and my arch nemesis,
Speaker 1: Basketball Dan.

Speaker 1: had a repeat caller. If for those of you who
Speaker 1: have you know, been requesting that we follow up with
Speaker 1: some of the callers. That's that's a little sample of
Speaker 1: what it might be like. Let me know if if
Speaker 1: you enjoyed that, and we'll do it more. I mean
Speaker 1: probably not, but who knows.
Speaker 3: It goes on the line. Everything he goes through his ID.

Speaker 1: really an expert.
