Speaker 8: analyze some business systems, but they kind of They pay
Speaker 8: me a lot to do it, well more than I

Speaker 8: in the world.

Speaker 8: hopefully soon, so we've all travel around and figure out
Speaker 8: the best location. You some scouting.
Speaker 2: Do you think there are straight people that like have
Speaker 2: opened gay bars? Oh?
Speaker 8: Definitely. Straight people do everything, especially things that don't relate

Speaker 2: theme of the spar be. Would it have like a
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, some sort of of some
Speaker 2: sort of theme like space or cowboy or something like that.
Speaker 8: I think I'd like to have like cool like art

Speaker 8: gallery flash bar thing support the community, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 8: see I got a good idea.
Speaker 10: No, I.
Speaker 2: You know I had. I had, But before before this,
Speaker 2: my dream was to open up a venue in New York.
Speaker 2: And I quickly found out that the uh, the overhead
Speaker 2: of this which is uh, you know, let's see, it
Speaker 2: costs me about this gecko costume costs about sixty dollars.
Speaker 2: I already had all the equipments. These startup costs of
Speaker 2: this venture is probably like one hundred dollars, and the
Speaker 2: startup cost of running a venue is about a million something.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this was worked out better. But I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe in Dallas it's it's I mean, I was looking
Speaker 2: at you know, like New York and should maybe Dallas
Speaker 2: it's it's more doable. I love that idea. I think
Speaker 2: it's great. Thank you, well, listen, good luck. What do
Speaker 2: you want to wait? What do you want to call
Speaker 2: the bar?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 8: Fuck, I haven't thought that far. Maybe business system analyst.
Speaker 8: Maybe it's like a.
Speaker 9: A thing if you.
Speaker 2: Made like a what if you yo, what if you
Speaker 2: made like an office themed bar?
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like there's some bars called the library, so you
Speaker 8: could say like I'm going to the library, when really
Speaker 8: you're going to a bar. So it could be like
Speaker 8: I'm going to the office, but really it's a gay bar.
Speaker 2: Great, that would be cool, Like I don't know people
Speaker 2: like sit in cubicles or something like that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's like a water there's a water cooler, but
Speaker 8: it's actually I like that.
Speaker 10: I like this.

Speaker 7: Okay, back, thanks.
Speaker 2: Beautiful, Thank you so much for calling. Do yo rest to.
Speaker 8: Night you Vie.
Speaker 9: Call from Jackson.
Speaker 2: Jackson Yello. Did we speak recently Jackson?
Speaker 9: No, No, we've never spoken. I've seen you talk to
Speaker 9: other people, but this is my first time talking to you.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, you've seen me talk to other people. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: way right, I never do that. Look you're my one
Speaker 2: and only Jackson. I'm not talking to other people. It's
Speaker 2: just you and me, Babe. Listen, what's up, Jackson? Tell
Speaker 2: me everything?
Speaker 9: Oh what do you want to know?
Speaker 2: What's your relationship like with your father?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 9: Shit, constrained actually.
Speaker 2: Constrained, No, strained, like.
Speaker 9: Well, both of my parents, my father included, they're very religious.
Speaker 9: They believe in God, but specifically they believe in.
Speaker 2: Jesus.
Speaker 9: So I went to church my whole life, and I
Speaker 9: guess at this point I I believe in like the
Speaker 9: idea of God, like God is good.
Speaker 2: But yeah, what are they what are they like about him?
Speaker 2: What do they think is so great about Jesus?
Speaker 9: I don't really know. I guess they're just in it
Speaker 9: deep man.
Speaker 2: So why is this caused a strain on your relationship?
Speaker 2: Because I assume you do not believe in God? But
Speaker 2: why do they care? Does God like tell them that
Speaker 2: things that you do are wrong?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 9: God tells them.
Speaker 3: That if.
Speaker 9: You don't believe in God, then you go to Hell.
Speaker 9: I'm so I guess they're worried about me going to hell.
Speaker 2: They're worried about you going to hell. By the way,
Speaker 2: look i'm a little I'm kind of on their side
Speaker 2: because for a few reasons. Here's the thing. Your parents
Speaker 2: genuinely well, look, whether or not they're right is irrelevant,
Speaker 2: but you have to understand they like from there? Does
Speaker 2: you have to understand even if they're wrong and what
Speaker 2: they believe. I'm not saying any I'm not saying yes
Speaker 2: that is or it is, But even if what they
Speaker 2: believe is crazy, you have to understand they genuinely believe
Speaker 2: that you are going to spend all of eternity in Hell.
Speaker 9: Yeah. I mean that's why it's been strained. That's why
Speaker 9: it's been strained. Like I know that they're like sad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to be sad too if I believe that my
Speaker 2: son are going to Hell.
Speaker 9: Yeah. And my older brother, he just was ordained. He's
Speaker 9: a new pastor and he wrote my old pastor a
Speaker 9: nasty email that said, look, you're not taking care of
Speaker 9: my brother. So he called me and he was like, hey,
Speaker 9: has a relationship with God. I was like, well, I'm
Speaker 9: not so hot, but yeah, he wants to set up
Speaker 9: a meeting with the session. I'm supposed to show up
Speaker 9: and they're going to excommunicate me. They're going to excommunicate you, yeah,
Speaker 9: which is kind of like it's heavy.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, why old he Jackson, I'm eight, you're
Speaker 2: twenty eight.
Speaker 9: Yep.
Speaker 2: Really I'm interested that, Like, you know, for twenty eight
Speaker 2: how recent is this family religious thing?
Speaker 9: Well, I mean I grew up in the church for
Speaker 9: most of my life. Like I went to church probably
Speaker 9: till I was like twenty four, and then I kind
Speaker 9: of stopped going. And it's only been within the last
Speaker 9: like three years that I guess I like, I get
Speaker 9: organized religion, like I see some benefits in it. But
Speaker 9: I just think that there's lots of people around the
Speaker 9: world who are They're trying to understand who God is,
Speaker 9: and I think that's reasonable. You know, I'm not going
Speaker 9: to say, hey, don't try to find God. But what
Speaker 9: gets me is when all these different sects of Christianity,
Speaker 9: or not even Christianity, but people around the world they're
Speaker 9: just trying to understand God, and then groups of people
Speaker 9: condemn each other. They're like, hey, we have it right,
Speaker 9: and you don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, why do you believe Jackson? Because look,
Speaker 2: I mean at twenty eight, you know, you got to
Speaker 2: understand you really don't know your parents' shit at all.
Speaker 9: No, that's true, that's true. I mean I guess what
Speaker 9: it to me is that this is the lens that
Speaker 9: they view the world through, and so when there is
Speaker 9: they think about anything, their own finances, their relationship with anybody,
Speaker 9: they're looking at it through the lens of how can
Speaker 9: I share the Gospel with these people? Which I mean
Speaker 9: they're good people, they have kind hearts, but I think
Speaker 9: it limits our ability to connect because they're thinking, how
Speaker 9: can we bring Jackson back to the light, And I'm like, hey,
Speaker 9: I just want to talk to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I understand that.
Speaker 9: Hm.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you might you might not be able
Speaker 2: to connect with them, but you can you you can
Speaker 2: still love your parents without the able to connect with them.
Speaker 9: Dude, I try to. And I mean you were asking
Speaker 9: me what I think about God. I mean I don't
Speaker 9: think that there is really a lot known about him.
Speaker 9: I'd like to believe that God is like good, like
Speaker 9: when you like God is love and kind of like
Speaker 9: the warm, fuzzy ideas about goodness in a sense. But
Speaker 9: you know, I've experienced spiritual things, you know, experiences in
Speaker 9: life where maybe I was in a low spot and
Speaker 9: I felt like there was some kind of divine that
Speaker 9: acted and like helped me. But I don't know, it's
Speaker 9: a I think a lot of people have experienced that
Speaker 9: kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Well, Jackson, listen, I hope things get better with your family,
Speaker 2: And I appreciate what you calling in.
Speaker 9: Share Yeah, man takes through.
Speaker 2: You're to of course you take care.
Speaker 13: Paul from event.
Speaker 2: You vet, Hey, Hello, Hi, how are you? Did you say?
Speaker 2: Your name is Yvette. Yeah, Uh tell me everything, you bet.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 10: I mean I tuned in. I think this is the
Speaker 10: first time I've actually gotten through and I saw that
Speaker 10: apparently today you were taking on regrets, and holy shit.
Speaker 2: You sound you sound like you've got a lot of regrets.
Speaker 2: I feel like you. I feel like you are the first. Uh.
Speaker 2: We haven't really talked to I haven't directly asked anyone
Speaker 2: the question this evening. You sound prime to answer it. Uh,
Speaker 2: do you have any regrets you vete? That's rot for fucking.
Speaker 10: Rhymes by the way, Oh, definitely. I think I regret
Speaker 10: being like the kid that always followed instructions. I kind
Speaker 10: of regret not being a troublemaker, you know, and kind
Speaker 10: of like either ditch in school or like you know,
Speaker 10: staying out past curfew. I mean, there were really good
Speaker 10: reasons why, like I shouldn't be doing those things. But
Speaker 10: I mean I kind of like look back now, and
Speaker 10: I'm like, you know where we're Where were my days
Speaker 10: of like you know, doing shit out like at two am,
Speaker 10: or like you know, getting my fake idea or whatever,
Speaker 10: Like they just don't exist. So I don't have like
Speaker 10: theod cool stories to tell from like remember when I
Speaker 10: did this, They just don't exist, and I kind of
Speaker 10: regret that.
Speaker 2: Sorry one second, I'm fucking around with my audio again.
Speaker 2: Oh little again? All right, that's cool one, okay, great,
Speaker 2: all right, you've hat Okay, So how old are you now?
Speaker 10: I just hit thirty?
Speaker 2: You just hit thirty? Yeah, So you've always followed the rules?
Speaker 2: You wish you got into more trouble? What kinds of
Speaker 2: trouble do you wish you'd got? You wish you'd stolen
Speaker 2: more of thing? Like when you.
Speaker 10: Like, I'm not trying to go out for like a
Speaker 10: felony or like none of that shit. No, but I mean, like,
Speaker 10: you know, the harmless kind of trouble that like most
Speaker 10: teenagers go up to, like get up to, or like,
Speaker 10: you know, the mistakes you usually run into, like when
Speaker 10: you're in your early twenties, Like I got none of that,
Speaker 10: and now.
Speaker 2: I kind of know you you wish you'd gotten more,
Speaker 2: do us?
Speaker 10: I mean I never got any and I didn't like
Speaker 10: So that's the kind of trouble that I wouldn't want
Speaker 10: to like you know, of course, like like trouble that
Speaker 10: put other people at risk. Of course, not like that's
Speaker 10: some dumb shit, but like the harmless one that was
Speaker 10: like supposed to you know, like not really have a
Speaker 10: terrible consequence, but make for a decent story, do you
Speaker 10: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of what would constitute some harmless trouble.
Speaker 2: Like I mean when when I was sixteen, like you know,
Speaker 2: I mean would get high. But you're thirty. You're getting
Speaker 2: high is not you know, here's not really trouble for you.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I never even fucking like how to smoke. I never
Speaker 10: even got high, Like I was literally like goody two shoes,
Speaker 10: like the whole way through, And I'm just.
Speaker 11: Like what the fuck, Like why what do you do now?
Speaker 10: What I get out of it?
Speaker 2: Nothing? What do you do now?
Speaker 10: What do you mean? Like what do I do now?
Speaker 4: Like, like are you what do you do?
Speaker 2: Do you work for the government? Do you run a commune?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 10: I heard that girl about the commune and I was
Speaker 10: like great on paper, but kind of needs more planning.
Speaker 10: But no, I don't run a commune. I don't work
Speaker 10: for the government. I currently work for the city.
Speaker 14: I see, like work for the city.
Speaker 2: I feel like working for the city constitutes working for
Speaker 2: the government in a way.
Speaker 10: I mean, I guess it's more like local.
Speaker 2: Anyway trouble you wish she got into. I mean, is
Speaker 2: there any trouble that you want to get into now?
Speaker 10: See now, Like it's that whole like adult mindset of it,
Speaker 10: And I'm just like oof, that's like now any trouble
Speaker 10: would actually have like permanent consequences, you know what I.
Speaker 2: Mean, Well, well, here's what I'm saying is though, like
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to arrive at something here, like but
Speaker 2: it's something that you could have gotten away with as
Speaker 2: a kid, or like trouble you would have wanted to
Speaker 2: do as a kid that you couldn't do right, you know, everything.
Speaker 10: These stories were like you know, a kid would sneak out,
Speaker 10: you know, from their house and go like during the
Speaker 10: like friends at a party or whatever. I never did
Speaker 10: that ship and like you know, just stuff that like Okay, yeah,
Speaker 10: maybe you would have gotten ground before, but like you know,
Speaker 10: that was it.
Speaker 2: Because I feel like, whatever are we arriving to play
Speaker 2: a thing like this and we have a very shallow
Speaker 2: pool of concrete answers. It's almost like you're of examining
Speaker 2: this fake version of the average teenager experience that just
Speaker 2: never happened. To anyone.
Speaker 10: I mean true, Yeah, I mean because like it's like, okay,
Speaker 10: you know how they always say, like kindsight is twenty twenty,
Speaker 10: So like I think that's probably definitely what's happening.
Speaker 15: Because Oh, the.
Speaker 10: Other regret that popped up, I was, like I regret
Speaker 10: that I was.
Speaker 15: Such a freaking like I was so oblivious to like
Speaker 15: the like people's skills I have. No, Like, I had
Speaker 15: very little people's skills.
Speaker 10: To the point where like it took me seven years
Speaker 10: to find like to finally get that light bulb to
Speaker 10: click on. We're like, oh, this person was super interested
Speaker 10: in me, and I just like you know, went over me.
Speaker 10: So that was another revent that I had. But you know,
Speaker 10: it's the whole thing is like, yeah, we're looking back
Speaker 10: and now I can catch everything, but you know, I
Speaker 10: don't actually know where I'm heading with this.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, have you So do you feel as
Speaker 2: though your people's skills have improved now that you are thirty?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 10: I kind of have had to.
Speaker 2: Yeah you said that, you said they've had they've had.
Speaker 2: You said you had to have improved to them.
Speaker 10: Yeah, because, like I said, I worked for like the city.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 10: I definitely have to interact with people on a daily basis,
Speaker 10: So yeah, those people skills definitely have to have like.
Speaker 16: Come into play.
Speaker 2: Well when was the turning point for you, because you
Speaker 2: just said that it took you a very long time
Speaker 2: to develop these people's skills.
Speaker 10: Well, I think, well, probably when I started working for
Speaker 10: the city, so maybe like twenty five that's yeah, that
Speaker 10: was probably the turning point because I got that job
Speaker 10: and then like I had to really interact with people
Speaker 10: and there was kind of like no getting out of it.
Speaker 2: And did that make you nervous when you had to
Speaker 2: start interacting with more people than you typically did.
Speaker 10: I'm not nervous per se, but more like it kind
Speaker 10: of felt like a like a new like a puzzle,
Speaker 10: Like people were puzzles, you know, and it was like
Speaker 10: as long as I could figure out the rules, you know,
Speaker 10: I was cool with it, and I kind of figured
Speaker 10: out the roles and so like I managed to kind
Speaker 10: of pick up those skills.
Speaker 2: Do you have a lot of friends?
Speaker 10: I would say I have a lot of acquaintances, but
Speaker 10: I have like a handful of people that I would
Speaker 10: consider friends.
Speaker 2: M Do you now is this by choice? Because a
Speaker 2: lot of people they enjoy you know, their own company
Speaker 2: more than you know, having a lot of people around
Speaker 2: them at all times.
Speaker 10: I mean, I would say that part of it has
Speaker 10: been by choice, part of it has been by circumstance,
Speaker 10: because I really do enjoy like my own alone time life.
Speaker 10: There is a difference between being alone and being lonely,
Speaker 10: and definitely there's days where like it's one or the other.
Speaker 10: But I definitely do enjoy, Like I am that person
Speaker 10: who is like super comfortable going off to the movies
Speaker 10: by themselves, going to you know, a thing part by themselves,
Speaker 10: Like you know, if I want, you know, my friends
Speaker 10: don't want to, I'm perfectly fine going on my own. However,
Speaker 10: like then there's also the circumstance of you know, people
Speaker 10: entering different stages in their life and you know, life
Speaker 10: responsibilities getting in the way, and then that kind of
Speaker 10: been like when it happened by circumstance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm glad that you hear. The things have
Speaker 2: have shifted for you better. I mean, that's the cool
Speaker 2: thing about this. That's the thing. It's like, you know,
Speaker 2: and I was I always, you know, was talking about
Speaker 2: this a little bit on on on some of the
Speaker 2: video that I did, but I really do feel like
Speaker 2: being a kid is over. Every time I see someone
Speaker 2: be like, oh, man, I wish I was in fucking
Speaker 2: high schooler again, or middle school, or like I was
Speaker 2: you know it, you know, could just sit around playing
Speaker 2: Call of Duty all day with my fucking Xbox friends
Speaker 2: or something like. I just I don't get it. Being
Speaker 2: thirty is life theoretically should be getting better with age,
Speaker 2: because you know who you are now more. I bet
Speaker 2: when you were in you know, high school, you were
Speaker 2: all you know it's you are more vulnerable to the
Speaker 2: opinions of other people because you don't know who you
Speaker 2: fucking are, and that's what makes you second guess all
Speaker 2: your social interactions. But by the time you're thirty, you're like,
Speaker 2: I've lived on the earth long enough to know how
Speaker 2: I talk to people. I'm just gonna be that, and
Speaker 2: if people don't like it, I don't care. It's too
Speaker 2: late to change.
Speaker 10: I mean, definitely, you have like a really good point
Speaker 10: with that, I would say, though, However, it's like those
Speaker 10: I think like I've always heard more of, like the
Speaker 10: people being like, oh I wish I like had fucked
Speaker 10: up in high school and done better. But I think
Speaker 10: like where I was coming from it more was like
Speaker 10: I wish I had sucked up a little bit more
Speaker 10: in night school. You know, I still fuck up, you know, yeah,
Speaker 10: but now there's like lasting permanent consequences.
Speaker 2: No, there's not. There's nothing. Nothing is permanent. You're gonna die,
Speaker 2: there's no permanent consequences. I mean, here's what here's what
Speaker 2: you should do. Go go to Southeast Asia. Book a
Speaker 2: one way ticket, go there. Murder is actually legal in Cambodia,
Speaker 2: So go kill a bunch of people. You steal it
Speaker 2: is legal in uh Laos, So go there, steal everything,
Speaker 2: bring it back souvenirs for all your friends and family.
Speaker 2: And you know, all I'm trying to say is there's
Speaker 2: more adventure out there to be had at the age
Speaker 2: of thirty. There's more trouble to get into. So I
Speaker 2: would be on the lookout for it, all right.
Speaker 10: I'll definitely have to like go out there and find
Speaker 10: some opportunities to do so, not the murder.
Speaker 2: But beautiful well you know what happens in Cambodia. Say
Speaker 2: is it Cambodia? Thank you so much for calling man.
Speaker 2: You're rest to night.
Speaker 15: Hie buye.
Speaker 9: Call from Matthew.
Speaker 2: Matthews that your word Matthew hey is yeah, Matthew. Wait
Speaker 2: a minute, I got all the time in the world.
Speaker 17: All right, mam.
Speaker 2: How are you Matthew? Where you call him from?
Speaker 17: I'm going from Quebec, Gobec Yere, Canada.
Speaker 2: Are you French Canadian? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Where?
Speaker 1: Way?
Speaker 2: The cool? I don't know what the bakoo. I know whey,
Speaker 2: I know we means yes, but I don't know what
Speaker 2: pacoo means.
Speaker 4: Bakoo is very much way but cool.
Speaker 2: Bokoop a coop, that's awesome. That sounds like it doesn't
Speaker 2: mean anything, but it.
Speaker 4: Does.
Speaker 2: Bikimian anything like bakool bakey. What let's talk about something else.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: Do you have any regrets?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 17: Yeah, I got one right now.
Speaker 18: I grow weed in my backyard mm hm.
Speaker 17: And I planted them too close to each other mhm.
Speaker 17: And they grew way more than I thought it would be,
Speaker 17: so I'm kind of scared of my neighbors might steal it.
Speaker 9: This is like.
Speaker 2: You set up you have. You have two friends, and
Speaker 2: you introduced them to each other, and so they start
Speaker 2: hanging out, right, they become good friends, but then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, they start hanging out without you, and
Speaker 2: you're like what the hell I introduced you guys, and
Speaker 2: then you're so sad and alone, you know, but it's
Speaker 2: like it's like to have it with weed plants.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I guess.
Speaker 17: Well, I mean more more a because I mean it's
Speaker 17: my neighbor, you know.
Speaker 2: Okay, why why does them being close to each other
Speaker 2: mean that you're afraid your neighbor will steal them?
Speaker 17: Because I have a newer I have little fans between
Speaker 17: the two places. And when when do you cut his grass?
Speaker 17: He comes a lot too, more on my side, so
Speaker 17: you know you can.
Speaker 10: See the.
Speaker 18: The weed.
Speaker 2: Do you know your neighbor? Have you like met them?
Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm pretty sure. How do you say you can
Speaker 17: do a lot of drugs like speed?
Speaker 2: You know, well he does speed.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's hurt on speed.
Speaker 4: Man, I'll finally.
Speaker 11: Talked to me talking about buying my house and making
Speaker 11: coldle I don't think con the medium he said.
Speaker 2: Okay, he wants to buy your house and turn it
Speaker 2: into a condominium.
Speaker 18: Yeah, like a party and everything.
Speaker 17: But you know that the guy that doesn't have money,
Speaker 17: so fucking wording.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you've met your neighbor, you say you've gotten
Speaker 2: high with him? Before.
Speaker 17: No, no, no, I didn't. I was this, you know,
Speaker 17: we're working in the backyard, and he came to me
Speaker 17: like what happened there? We were really shaky and ship
Speaker 17: you know.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So I guess the reason why I'm asking
Speaker 2: you that is because I'm curious, like what relationship you've
Speaker 2: established with your neighbor, right, Like, well, why why are
Speaker 2: you so on edge around them? Why don't you trust
Speaker 2: them to not steal your plants?
Speaker 19: Well?
Speaker 17: I mean I trust them, but his friend, you know her,
Speaker 17: he brings friend to his house and you know, I
Speaker 17: don't know what I'm that much neither, and I know
Speaker 17: him does drugs.
Speaker 18: One, one does two?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 2: Right, You're afraid that his friends. You can trust him
Speaker 2: a little bit, but his friends that are also high
Speaker 2: on speed probably not as much.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 2: Okay, So why don'd you get some sort of why'd
Speaker 2: you get a fence?
Speaker 9: Man?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 18: Isn't actually why I was calling in tonight, because.
Speaker 2: You are you trying to Tom Sawyer me here? You
Speaker 2: try to give me to paint your fence?
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, yeah, I just want to fence there you come.
Speaker 2: I want to I want to there's I want to
Speaker 2: let I'm like I will let you continue talking about
Speaker 2: why you called me in relation to the fence. But
Speaker 2: I don't think I can help you put up your fence.
Speaker 2: You know a whole lot. Okay, okay, how how can
Speaker 2: I help you? How? How can I? How am I
Speaker 2: can I be involved in this?
Speaker 17: Because I was wondering if because the plants are getting
Speaker 17: way bigger than I thought they would be, so I
Speaker 17: thought about the electrifying defense.
Speaker 4: I put a.
Speaker 17: Battery car on it.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 2: You said the fence is bigger than you thought it
Speaker 2: would be.
Speaker 17: No, the wee grows way higher than I probably one.
Speaker 17: It's like my fresh year grew in it, so I'm
Speaker 17: not used to it.
Speaker 2: Okay, the other plants are way bigger than you thought
Speaker 2: they would be. Okay, And how am I involved? Again?
Speaker 2: Do you want to electric you?
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I was wondering if.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, my my English is pretty bad.
Speaker 2: No, you're good. It's better than a lot of.
Speaker 17: But like, sure, should I put electricity on it? Or
Speaker 17: try to trust my neighbor and like go talk to
Speaker 17: him about it and everything.
Speaker 2: You know, what's your name? Matthew, Matthew, Matthew. Look, here's
Speaker 2: let me tell you. I'm gonna tell you the two
Speaker 2: answers that I have. I want to live in a
Speaker 2: world with less electric fences, with less locks, with less
Speaker 2: barriers between people. It's the world I want to live in.
Speaker 2: And here's the thing. If if if if people were
Speaker 2: to storm the streets and be like, you know, if
Speaker 2: a guy were to were to stand up on a
Speaker 2: soapbox and be like, let's all get rid of our
Speaker 2: fences and our locks and trust to one another, you know,
Speaker 2: someone would be like, all right, you first. And I
Speaker 2: don't think I would be that guy. I don't think
Speaker 2: I would be that guy. So I'm not going to
Speaker 2: tell you to be that guy. That's the world i'd
Speaker 2: like to live live in. I don't know what world
Speaker 2: we live in. But what were you gonna say?
Speaker 17: I mean, I can try, you know, try to be
Speaker 17: that guy a pleast.
Speaker 2: Is that important to you?
Speaker 17: Go see him and you know, just tell him, like,
Speaker 17: you know, when when I get the when I get
Speaker 17: the weird, I know, if he smokes them, I'm gonna
Speaker 17: give him something, you know, like being a good neighbor.
Speaker 17: But I don't know, I'm kind of scared of if
Speaker 17: I go out to it and he's gonna notice, you know,
Speaker 17: because I'm not sure that they noticed.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, if people don't like to be
Speaker 2: trusting because they're afraid that, you know, here's my honest answer.
Speaker 2: People don't like to be trusting because they're afraid that
Speaker 2: they'll get fucked over. But you know, being a trusting
Speaker 2: person is a long term game, and in the short
Speaker 2: term you inevitably will get fucked over. But in the
Speaker 2: long term you will build a lot more peace for
Speaker 2: your mind and a lot more integrity. And so you
Speaker 2: have to decide if you want to play that long
Speaker 2: term game that will inevitably involve you getting taken advantage
Speaker 2: of or fucked here and there, but long term will
Speaker 2: leave you with a greater sense of peace in your
Speaker 2: innate trusting of other people.
Speaker 17: Mhms correct.
Speaker 2: So the decisions is up to you. Yeah, thank you
Speaker 2: so much for calling, Matthew. I hope you have a
Speaker 2: good gest you things go well for you.
Speaker 4: Thanks for thanks for your time.
Speaker 2: Man. By the I'm surprised you did too. I hope
Speaker 2: that call doesn't cost you a lot of money.
Speaker 4: I hope so via.
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 17: I'm gonna tell you about that at the end.

Speaker 17: From Steven.
Speaker 2: Stephen. Yes, Stephen, you said yes like I called you.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 11: No, Yeah.
Speaker 20: I thought you were saying like Stephen, and I was saying, yes,
Speaker 20: this is Stephen. I was acknowledging that I'm on the
Speaker 20: line in your right and I.
Speaker 2: Know, I know, like I know that that's what you did.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it sounded like you said yes, as
Speaker 2: if I called you you said hello, I said, Stephen,
Speaker 2: and you said.
Speaker 20: Yes, yes, this is him. No, yeah, yeah, okay, here.
Speaker 2: You how can I help you? Stephen?
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 20: I mean, I'm you're a therapy gecko, and I don't know.
Speaker 20: I'm just feeling really tired.
Speaker 2: You're feeling really tired, really tired of it.
Speaker 20: I don't know, life just seems pretty insane. And I
Speaker 20: just mean, like it sounds really high and mighty of me.
Speaker 20: But like, does it seem like they're just more you're
Speaker 20: you're you're American?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 20: Does this just does it seem like they're more like
Speaker 20: really stupid people in America than there used to be?
Speaker 20: Or is it just like more obvious now you think.
Speaker 2: There are more stupid people in America than there used
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 20: Yeah, well it seems that way, But it also could
Speaker 20: just be because media is like more prolific too. How old,
Speaker 20: I'm thirty eight?
Speaker 2: Thirty eight? Okay, that's long enough to see a thirty eight,
Speaker 2: long enough to know some people over a period of time,
Speaker 2: not enough to know a lot of people. So here's
Speaker 2: the thing to say that America's gotten stupid er? You know,
Speaker 2: I mean, realistically, give me a number how many people?
Speaker 2: And I know it's a crazy question to even wrap
Speaker 2: your head around. But how many people do you know?
Speaker 11: Like do I know?
Speaker 14: Well, yeah, h.
Speaker 2: Ten, maybe you know ten people? Well, h have those
Speaker 2: ten people gotten stupid or over the years.
Speaker 4: A few of them?
Speaker 2: Tell me about some of the people that have gotten
Speaker 2: stupider over the years, how have they gotten stupider?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 20: I like my father, for example, he he was never
Speaker 20: like super bright, but he seemed reasonable.
Speaker 4: You know, he is like a.
Speaker 20: Cultist who believes that uh, like you know, Donald Trump
Speaker 20: was robbed of the presidency in some past conspiracy COVID
Speaker 20: is a conspiracy that's not real, that sort of thing.
Speaker 20: When able person, I just try to to talk pojects
Speaker 20: and think about the positive aspects of him, but he
Speaker 20: just keeps getting louder about all the stupid shit and
Speaker 20: making it harder to just talking about anything else. And uh,
Speaker 20: it just made me very sad, and I just avoid
Speaker 20: spending time with him, and it's and like okay. In
Speaker 20: my place of work, for example, we're super shorthanded right now,
Speaker 20: which is really annoying. And that's probably why I'm like
Speaker 20: kind of at my wits end and I just just
Speaker 20: had a really hard day at work. We're short handed
Speaker 20: because half of the people I work with are out
Speaker 20: stick with COVID because they refused to get vaccinated vaccine,
Speaker 20: like right now, you know, middle of July twenty twenty one.
Speaker 20: The vaccine has been available to everybody for quite a while,
Speaker 20: and they're just like, no, no, I'm not going to
Speaker 20: get vaccinated. I don't trust it.
Speaker 4: Like what the fuck?
Speaker 9: Why?
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 20: So I just feel like I'm running into a lot
Speaker 20: more stuff. That's like obviously horse hit that more and
Speaker 20: more people are buying into you, and I don't feel
Speaker 20: like it used to be that way. What do you
Speaker 20: think therapy kicking it?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm trying to think, you know, because you know,
Speaker 2: I guess you got to do the best you can
Speaker 2: to limit yourself from exposure to things that annoy and
Speaker 2: upset you. Yeah, I mean that's the thing is like,
Speaker 2: you don't have to completely cut your father off, but
Speaker 2: if he's just bothering you, you can. I think it
Speaker 2: seems like you're already doing this. You're not fully cutting
Speaker 2: him out of your life, but you are limiting the
Speaker 2: interactions that you have.
Speaker 20: Yeah, I've been trying to m hm, this is a
Speaker 20: tough one. Yeah, it's a boomer what about the other
Speaker 20: people with it.
Speaker 2: You said, you know ten people and some of you
Speaker 2: are stupid. Do you talk to people who you think
Speaker 2: are not stupid?
Speaker 20: Yeah, my wife and our close friends, they're all all
Speaker 20: lovely and reasonable people smart.
Speaker 2: So that's what I would do. I would continue to
Speaker 2: limit the amount of I mean, this sounds obvious, but
Speaker 2: you know, I would continue to limit the amount of
Speaker 2: exposure that you have the people that you find unreasonable
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, tunnel vision yourself into hanging out
Speaker 2: with the reasonable people. That's the cool thing about being
Speaker 2: an adult. You know, you're thirty eight, You could just
Speaker 2: go you could just go double down on your own family,
Speaker 2: right If you were sixteen and everyone your family sucked,
Speaker 2: it'd be like, well, shaid, I gotta hang out with
Speaker 2: them anyway, because I'm sixteen, you're thirty.
Speaker 20: Whatever you want now, yeah, and just real quick the
Speaker 20: main reason and when it calls, because like you seem
Speaker 20: like you guys hear your shit together. Do you have
Speaker 20: anything that you do to like kind of brighten your
Speaker 20: mood or like to brighten my mood, brighten your mood,
Speaker 20: like you know, you're feeling down in the dumps, in
Speaker 20: the dol drums like, do you have any advice for
Speaker 20: people to any.
Speaker 4: Well, well, first of the therapist.
Speaker 2: Trade, first of all, I'm not a therapist, but second
Speaker 2: of them, Oh yeah, yeah, I know. How would you
Speaker 2: How would you define uh, having your shit together? Because
Speaker 2: I wouldn't confidently call myself. I wouldn't put myself on that.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know what, Yeah I guess, I guess I was.
Speaker 2: Here's what I mean.
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, you got this cool thing going and
Speaker 20: it seems really fun and I don't know.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, here's what I'll say is, uh, you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm a workaholic and I get obsessed with the things
Speaker 2: that I do. So that's what I do. You know,
Speaker 2: it's not healthy. I've been getting really fat, but I'm
Speaker 2: like a lot happier I think than I was before
Speaker 2: I was like working really hard on all this ship.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. Man, Here's what I would tell
Speaker 2: you is, don't chase after happen. It's chase after the
Speaker 2: flow state. Chase after finding something that you can do
Speaker 2: that can take your mind off of things.
Speaker 20: That's a good idea because.
Speaker 2: Happiness is kind of bullshit, but flow state is real.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 20: Okay, that sounds reasonable. Hey, thanks man, I don't really
Speaker 20: appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thanks for fun, and you take care.
Speaker 20: You took.
Speaker 13: All from Nate.
Speaker 2: Nate, Hey, Lyle, Nate.
Speaker 18: How are you?
Speaker 4: How are you doing?
Speaker 2: Get go? Hold on, I'm gonna turn the thing down,
Speaker 2: all right, Yeah, Nate, listen. Yeah, I'm on speakerphone. It's
Speaker 2: like super hard hard to hear you. It's a little difficult.
Speaker 4: Okay, sorry, I was on speakerphone. I'm off now.
Speaker 9: All right.
Speaker 2: We need to ease into this because this has started slightly.
Speaker 2: This has started a little abruptly for me. Yeahs are
Speaker 2: you okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 18: I was just turning on my fans off a little
Speaker 18: too noisy.
Speaker 2: How many fans do you have?
Speaker 4: That's all going on right now?
Speaker 2: Really is a hot where you are?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pennsylvania. It's like a hundred degrees today.
Speaker 2: M hmm. Do you does the heat make you uncomfortable?
Speaker 5: M m makes me a.
Speaker 4: Little sweaty, but yeah, I could say it makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Do you do you prefer to be comfortable?
Speaker 5: No, I prefer the uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I respect that a lot. I believe that there is
Speaker 2: a lot of character development to be had in embracing
Speaker 2: uncomfortable situations such as extreme heat.
Speaker 4: There is, Yes, it brings out the worst and best
Speaker 4: in people.
Speaker 2: What do you think it is brought out in you?
Speaker 4: Procrastination?
Speaker 2: Procrastination on what.

Speaker 4: I have English class?
Speaker 9: Do I gotta do a paper by Friday?
Speaker 2: M hmm? What's the paper on? I don't even know?
Speaker 2: To be honest, just you don't even random?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Are you in college?
Speaker 4: I am, yes, first semester.
Speaker 2: Okay? What do you study finance? Finance? Why do you
Speaker 2: have to? Okay, let me ask you? What's your goal
Speaker 2: in finance?
Speaker 4: I don't really know. To get somewhere with stocks, hopefully
Speaker 4: one day.
Speaker 2: But why don't you just want to just buy a
Speaker 2: bunch of stock I do.
Speaker 4: I'd buy a bunch of doge coin?
Speaker 2: You buy a bunch of doge coin? What would you do?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 9: What is?
Speaker 2: Give me a number?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: How much money would you like to have one day?
Speaker 14: Hmm?
Speaker 5: I don't know. A couple million, but all the money
Speaker 5: in the world sounds as also, you know, world domination?
Speaker 2: Really is that what you would like? You would like
Speaker 2: to dominate the world.
Speaker 4: Some sense?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Does you dominating the world? Inherently mean that you are
Speaker 2: interested in stepping on other people to secure a higher
Speaker 2: position for yourself.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I want to give everyone a fair,
Speaker 3: fair leg up, you know, fair chances make it.
Speaker 2: I think that's nice. I think that's nice. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure if I believe you, but I do think that's nice.
Speaker 5: I mean, power does get to people.
Speaker 2: Though, Exactly how could you be so sure that you
Speaker 2: will not be corrupted once your bank account has a
Speaker 2: million dollars in it? I don't know.
Speaker 4: I can't be sure. Time will only tell you.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: I hope you stay strong. Nick, Thank you so much
Speaker 2: for calling in.
Speaker 13: Thank you, le.
Speaker 4: I appreciate your words of wisdom.
Speaker 13: Paul from bro.
Speaker 9: Rose.
Speaker 2: Are you in a car right now? Rose?
Speaker 4: Hello?
Speaker 2: Rose? Are you in a car right now?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 19: I'm sorry, I just pulled in a taco bell.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna get? Uh?
Speaker 19: Probably three spicy potato sauce tacos fresco style, ad Rice?
Speaker 2: What is a spicy potato sau I've never heard of
Speaker 2: a sauce taco.
Speaker 19: Well, it's just you know, you've never heard of a
Speaker 19: sauce taco.
Speaker 4: Are you serious?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I think you said sauce taco.
Speaker 19: Oh no, no, no sauce. Like, well, I got off
Speaker 19: work and now I'm getting taco bell because I'm quite
Speaker 19: I'm quite drained, and I don't think I have it
Speaker 19: in me to cook right now?
Speaker 2: Where do you work at? Rose?
Speaker 14: I actually just.
Speaker 19: Started walking working at a coffee shop that I had
Speaker 19: been trying to work at for like over a year,
Speaker 19: like pre pandemic. And then I interviewed there in the
Speaker 19: summer and didn't get it while they were reopening because
Speaker 19: they had a bunch of shit going on. And now
Speaker 19: I finally got it two weeks ago, and I'm really
Speaker 19: stoked on it because my previous jobs were very.
Speaker 2: Depressing, interesting, and what makes this job so much better?
Speaker 19: It's just like it's like less than ten people work there,
Speaker 19: has kind of like like it's not a co op,
Speaker 19: but they kind of run it similarly to a co op.
Speaker 19: I guess, like everyone kind of has input and they
Speaker 19: pay everyone.
Speaker 2: Well, so so you'll get a little bit of input here.
Speaker 19: Yeah, they said I'll get a vote, sometimes.
Speaker 2: You'll get a fut I wonder if you will befall
Speaker 2: the same thing that Nick is trying to avoid, where
Speaker 2: you know, once you get one vote, you know maybe
Speaker 2: one vote, it'll all go to your head and you'll
Speaker 2: somehow find a way to scheme yourself a couple more votes,
Speaker 2: until ultimately it's not our cop, it's your coffee shop.
Speaker 2: But you've taken power from winin.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I feel like I used to have a lot
Speaker 19: of like false confidence in believing in things like like
Speaker 19: just like anarchists or like communist stuff, And now I
Speaker 19: don't pretend to know anything, so I don't really know
Speaker 19: what would happen, to be honest with you.
Speaker 2: Do you feel as though that might be an attractive
Speaker 2: option to you, the seizure of power over this coffee shop?
Speaker 4: Oh no, not at all.
Speaker 19: It's kind of just a convenient job to do because
Speaker 19: I do music a lot, and I kind of structure
Speaker 19: my life around being able to they'll do that.
Speaker 2: Well, there's power and music. Would you not say power
Speaker 2: and melody? Power and words? I mean you could put
Speaker 2: people into trance or if you learn the right melody.
Speaker 19: Oh for sure, Still trying to figure that out.
Speaker 2: It's your sound. How would you describe it?
Speaker 19: Well, I actually have like have been in a lot
Speaker 19: of hardcore bands, but recently started singing in a band,
Speaker 19: like actually singing. I guess, except that I don't have
Speaker 19: any like classical training in that, so it's like pretty
Speaker 19: new to me, so I'm only kind of kind of there.
Speaker 19: But I would say I'm figuring melody out, so I'm
Speaker 19: pretty staked on that. But it's like more like shoegaze,
Speaker 19: dreamy stuff, mess of reverb.
Speaker 2: You know what you should use your vote for. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you can do that. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you can get this done with one vote. But
Speaker 2: should I put on a little show at this coffee
Speaker 2: shop here?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 19: I was thinking about that because there's a venue where
Speaker 19: I live that recently closed, and everyone's kind of scrambling
Speaker 19: to figure out like places to do shows, and it
Speaker 19: would be cool to do a show there. I don't
Speaker 19: know how well it would work in like a hardcore setting,
Speaker 19: but definitely like a softer show could probably go over
Speaker 19: well there. And I work with a lot of people.
Speaker 2: I actually think that you should play your hardcore music
Speaker 2: if you do end up getting into this coffee shop,
Speaker 2: because that would be kind of a fun venue to
Speaker 2: have a hardcore show in, right, because you can take
Speaker 2: coffee cups and smash them on each other's heads, and
Speaker 2: there's a lot to destroy. There's a lot of supplies
Speaker 2: to take out your punk energy on.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 19: I definitely definitely had a lot of experiences playing in
Speaker 19: places like that, so it wouldn't not make sense.
Speaker 2: I think that the idea of hosting punk shows in
Speaker 2: alternative venues such as coffee shops, yogas, do videos, uh,
Speaker 2: things of that nature, I think that that might catch on.
Speaker 2: I think you should be the pioneer of that.
Speaker 19: Well, I wouldn't really be pioneering anything because that venue
Speaker 19: that was kind of the centralized thing here was actually
Speaker 19: a pizza place, so that's not very new to hear
Speaker 19: at all.
Speaker 2: Well, I believe in you, Rose. You have a good
Speaker 2: rest of the night.
Speaker 19: You too, So glad to talk to you.
Speaker 1: All from Grave.
Speaker 2: Grave.
Speaker 4: Hey, how are you doing today? Jack?
Speaker 2: We ever talked before? Grave? We have a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 18: I can't actually believe I got on. I know, like
Speaker 18: everybody says that, but.
Speaker 2: You sound like you need to cough really badly.
Speaker 18: I need a cough really bad thing. Yeah, let me see,
Speaker 18: let me see what I can do.
Speaker 2: I don't know. If it's.
Speaker 18: I have my AirPods in right now, that might be it.
Speaker 18: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You have a very grave voice.
Speaker 18: I'm very grave voice.
Speaker 9: You know what it is? It is?
Speaker 2: I think I don't know if it's a technical thing.
Speaker 12: Or not.
Speaker 4: My voice.
Speaker 2: I don't know them what does your does it? Have
Speaker 2: You always been told that your voice sounds like this.
Speaker 18: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 13: I don't know why.
Speaker 1: It's just.
Speaker 18: It's just the way I am.
Speaker 2: Interesting. Well it Grave, There we go. There's the police
Speaker 2: on their way to arrest that high girl. Uh, Grave,
Speaker 2: I have a question for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead. What's up?
Speaker 2: Will it work?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 18: You know, I sure hope it does.
Speaker 2: That seems to be the answer of the night. That's
Speaker 2: the most common answer that I've gotten so far is
Speaker 2: that people hope it does. People hope it works, which
Speaker 2: is good. I'm glad that there's still some hope that
Speaker 2: it'll work, you know. But another thing is, like, I mean,
Speaker 2: my opinion in case if you were wondering, Grave, is
Speaker 2: that you know, at the end of the day, I'm like,
Speaker 2: fuck it, I don't even hope it works. It's I'm
Speaker 2: at them. You got to be of the opinion of like, look, dude,
Speaker 2: whether it works or not, I don't I don't even care,
Speaker 2: all right, I don't need it to work. I'm not
Speaker 2: dependent on it working for me to exist, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Grave, I don't need it to work.
Speaker 2: Fuck it, I don't care if it works. I'm doing
Speaker 2: my own thing over here.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 18: One makes a lot easier though if it doesn't work, right, Like.
Speaker 2: How would it working make your life easier? Grave?
Speaker 18: I mean, well, I sort of the idea I had
Speaker 18: in mind of like I'm going to college in the fall,
Speaker 18: and if I really hope that ends up working out,
Speaker 18: like I'm moving to like a place where I have
Speaker 18: no uh, I don't know really anyone.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 18: That's a lot of unknown there, right. No, you're eighteen, right, yeah,
Speaker 18: I'm eighteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, you should move to a place where you
Speaker 2: don't know anyone.
Speaker 18: Why do you think that, Well, because.
Speaker 2: You're only eighteen, you know that now is the time
Speaker 2: you don't want to You don't wanna stay in your
Speaker 2: hometown forever and hang out with the same three people
Speaker 2: you've been hanging out with your entire life. Go move
Speaker 2: to a place where you don't know anyone, and then
Speaker 2: you'll be what twenty in two years, and you'll know
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of people. As long as you're comfortable
Speaker 2: putting yourself out there. That's exactly what you should be
Speaker 2: doing when you're fucking eighteen. I'm glad to hear that.
Speaker 2: I'd be way more nervous for you if you said, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm going to like a state school where like all
Speaker 2: of my friends are going to is. Well not there'snything
Speaker 2: wrong with goingness. I'm just you know, if you were
Speaker 2: going to a place because it was the comfortable option
Speaker 2: right for you. But when you say that college will work,
Speaker 2: you want it to work, What does it mean for
Speaker 2: it to work?
Speaker 18: I mean to have good roommates and like to get
Speaker 18: good grades and I don't know, get graduate and be
Speaker 18: successful with so that I don't know. I don't haven't
Speaker 18: really defined it before.
Speaker 9: See.
Speaker 2: That's the thing is if if you don't define it,
Speaker 2: then it won't work, right Yeah, I.
Speaker 18: Mean yeah, maybe maybe I need to find find what
Speaker 18: what it working means for me.
Speaker 2: Well let's let's let's let's try a little bit here
Speaker 2: if we can. You said you want to be successful, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: What does what does that mean?

Speaker 18: not quite sure yet. So I suppose working at like

Speaker 2: are unsuccess? So I cannot go there? Oh, I don't
Speaker 2: want to go to an unsuccessful hospital, I.
Speaker 18: Said, Well, so one of the things I did was, I, like,
Speaker 18: I've known I wanted to be going to the medical
Speaker 18: fields for a little while. So one of the things
Speaker 18: I did was a CNA class and my CNA and
Speaker 18: I looked at like a nursing home and that felt
Speaker 18: like it was kind of crappy experience.
Speaker 2: Not gonna lie, Well, a nursing home is different from
Speaker 2: a hospital.
Speaker 18: I mean, yeah, sure, I mean, but I also worked
Speaker 18: at a hospital and that was also crap too. It
Speaker 18: was yeah, I disclose where it was because they quoting

Speaker 2: You're a gate guard, yeah, I work behind the gate
Speaker 2: that you are guarding a bunch of blumber a bunch
Speaker 2: of lumber.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I work in as the hardware tour Dude.
Speaker 2: Why would anyone Okay, not no offense here, but why
Speaker 2: would anyone ever want to break and have If you
Speaker 2: break into a lumberyard to steal lumber, you're a moron? Right?
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of the woods?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can just go there.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 13: We always have a lot of other stuff here back
Speaker 13: here too, like breaking stuff, emulge.
Speaker 2: But we get a lot of people like you know
Speaker 2: that way, Why would you steal? Like that's like if
Speaker 2: if you were like guarding a pile of leaves.
Speaker 4: I mean it's really simple.
Speaker 13: I'm just like sitting back here over here watching cars.
Speaker 4: So like the Pixar movie, mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Have you ever had to stop someone from stealing the.
Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 18: I do it every day.
Speaker 13: Oh my god, I just did it. Probably was all
Speaker 13: like twenty minutes ago and someone took extra bricks. So
Speaker 13: I have to stop people and they'll be like, oh,
Speaker 13: on the pick a ticket. I'll say one hundred and
Speaker 13: they'll have like one hundred and twenty and I'm like, hey.
Speaker 4: What's up?
Speaker 13: And they do it and this one person does it.
Speaker 13: I a I'm just covering a shift because I'm usually
Speaker 13: just like a cashier and I do a little bit
Speaker 13: of everything. And this one person every time I cover
Speaker 13: a ship is taking extra brick and they don't do anything,
Speaker 13: Like what is up with that?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 2: Why are they still? What are you gonna do with
Speaker 2: one brick?
Speaker 13: No, it's like actually twenty bricks like they do it
Speaker 13: all the time. It's just like random stuff, extra stuff
Speaker 13: off the Let.
Speaker 2: Him have the brick. It's a brick. Let him have it.
Speaker 2: Let it what's your name? Let them have the bricks.
Speaker 2: They're just bricks. They're not that valuable. It's not like
Speaker 2: there are they made of gold or they just bricks.
Speaker 19: They're literally it'll be the thing.
Speaker 13: It's it's different stuff every time he comes through, so
Speaker 13: it'll be extra wood and sometimes it's extra brick, sometimes
Speaker 13: extra backumult like this guy will never get in.
Speaker 2: Trouble like he shouldn't and cares it's brick and you've
Speaker 2: ever been to it? Go to a playground, steal mulch
Speaker 2: from your local.
Speaker 9: Public, like.
Speaker 13: I look as they watched the cameras like freaking hawks.
Speaker 2: Why do they the If I see what I would
Speaker 2: do if I was this guy, I would be stealing
Speaker 2: the security equipment because it's worth more than the thing
Speaker 2: that the equipment is securing. Yeah, it's wood chips, do that.
Speaker 13: I swear to god, I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 13: Someone would walk up and take one of the cameras that.
Speaker 2: Watched me, like they should, they should steal the camp.
Speaker 2: That's what I would if I guarded them, I'd be like, Hey,
Speaker 2: the wood is like it's fucking you know, it's a
Speaker 2: dollar or whatever, and you know, the fucking security equipment
Speaker 2: is worth hundreds of least. You can melt it down
Speaker 2: into its raw materials and sell that.
Speaker 13: It's true too, I mean, if you want to go
Speaker 13: that far, I.
Speaker 2: Don't understand why they're having you. How much should I
Speaker 2: pay you to guard this?
Speaker 13: So we have COVID pay, so I regular pay is
Speaker 13: twelve sixty and technically I worked for an ours this
Speaker 13: is actually a different company than does a security guard thing.
Speaker 13: Since I'm just covering a shift and I get paid
Speaker 13: sixteen sixty an hour for COVID.
Speaker 2: Bay, how many bricks could you buy with sixteen dollars?
Speaker 13: Oh my gosh, so many these bricks are like probably
Speaker 13: fifty cents apiece, So sixteen sixty for an hour divided
Speaker 13: by fifty cents, I'm not quite.
Speaker 18: Okay, there you go.
Speaker 2: Let the guy have the bread. What is argue he's
Speaker 2: trying to steal? Like how many? How many extra bricks
Speaker 2: did you try to steal? I don't that's something you
Speaker 2: just steal pick twenty bricks?
Speaker 19: But yeah it was ten dollars.
Speaker 2: Let them have the bricks? Could you just could you
Speaker 2: just can you do a favorite? Can you just totally
Speaker 2: not do your job at all and let everyone steal
Speaker 2: whatever they want because it's not worth that much?
Speaker 6: Would you do that for me?
Speaker 11: Some days?
Speaker 2: Some days?
Speaker 13: I literally I'll probably see that tomorrow because I'm tomorrow
Speaker 13: I'm covering your ship again. And at this point, like
Speaker 13: I'm just just like bro fire meets, you know how
Speaker 13: you get that, like when you start a job and
Speaker 13: you're at first you're just like can I like what
Speaker 13: can I do for extra work or whatever?
Speaker 19: What can I do to help?
Speaker 13: And then like you work there for a few months
Speaker 13: and then you're just like bris fire me. That's where
Speaker 13: I'm at right now.
Speaker 2: So what if one day they just paid you in
Speaker 2: the bricks, like they get you just showed up and
Speaker 2: they gave you thirty two books.
Speaker 5: I would chuck it.
Speaker 13: I would literally look at them, dress straight and probably
Speaker 13: check about them or something.
Speaker 2: I feel like, do these people that you're trying to, like,
Speaker 2: stop these these brick thieves? I would be terrified if
Speaker 2: I were trying to stop a brick thief. He's armed
Speaker 2: with the brick.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: How would your name was? Thank you so much for
Speaker 2: calling us son. I hope you enjoy the rest of cars.
Speaker 13: Yeah bye, have a good night.
Speaker 19: All from Chris.
Speaker 2: Risk Is.
Speaker 4: This is real.
Speaker 2: This is real.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I put you on in my big screen codes.
Speaker 4: Very excited. I caught you tonight.
Speaker 2: How you doing, Fritz? Fritz?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 4: Doing the best I can? Today? Honestly a kind of
Speaker 4: stressful day, but you know vibeing.
Speaker 2: Why was it stressful?
Speaker 4: I don't know, just kind of a lot of money stress.
Speaker 4: Coming up a new job is kind of shitty day.
Speaker 4: First shitty day is a new job.
Speaker 2: So have you have you ever tried? Do you have
Speaker 2: any Do you have like any money?
Speaker 4: I have like enough to make rent my rent payments tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Have you tried? I don't know why more people don't
Speaker 2: do this. I feel like if you could, I feel
Speaker 2: like you can get like a copy machine or something
Speaker 2: and like just copy the money that you already have.
Speaker 4: I mean, I honestly I have thought about that. I
Speaker 4: work in its like I gotta. I got access to
Speaker 4: a lot of printers, so like I could set up
Speaker 4: a whole operation if I really wanted to.
Speaker 2: You should do that. That's all all you really needed
Speaker 2: to get rich is a dollar and a copy machine,
Speaker 2: because then you just copy that dollar a million times
Speaker 2: and you're a millionaire.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're right. I can't. I can't argue that.
Speaker 2: How much uh well, how much is the Do you
Speaker 2: have enough to afford a copy machine? And you need
Speaker 2: a lot of ink? That's the problem. You need a
Speaker 2: lot of ink. So there are some startup costs to this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could. I could try to do like a
Speaker 4: small business loan and say, like completely reputable business and
Speaker 4: then just buy a ship ton of printers maybe and
Speaker 4: like once I get started, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe my credit is not good enough, but.
Speaker 2: You can can you print credit?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, I fucking wish. I'll tell you a.
Speaker 2: Question for you. Yeah, wait, you were gonna tell me something? No,
Speaker 2: I'm good, Sorry, will it work?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest I don't know. I wish I did.
Speaker 4: I'd like, like I'm gonna say the line I hope
Speaker 4: it would, but like I'm honestly like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Hmmm. When you say you wish, When you say you wish,
Speaker 2: do you hope it works or do you wish you
Speaker 2: knew whether or not it would so that you could
Speaker 2: do whatever you will do with that information?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I wish. I just wish I knew, because like
Speaker 4: if I know, like like what I'm doing and like
Speaker 4: where I'm going to life is gonna end up being okay.
Speaker 4: Like I know, if I know I made at least
Speaker 4: one right decision somewhere down the line, that it makes
Speaker 4: me feel good, and I'd like try to share that
Speaker 4: my people as I could. I guess if I knew
Speaker 4: everyone else's will it works.
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 2: See that's that's that that doesn't work, right, because if
Speaker 2: you knew for a fact everything was being to be okay,
Speaker 2: then you wouldn't do the things that you need to
Speaker 2: do to make it so that it ends up okay
Speaker 2: because you would psychologically no longer be stressed out enough
Speaker 2: to do them.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, yeah, yeah, that's that is true. That's the whole,
Speaker 4: the whole. Uh, I know, that's fucking I think about
Speaker 4: that a lot, Like if you knew, knowing knowing the
Speaker 4: outcome changes the outcome kind of do right now.
Speaker 2: But if you knew that you would fuck up and fail?
Speaker 2: What would you do?
Speaker 4: I mean, I've had a lot of shit. Having not
Speaker 4: a lot of shit, I've had some I made some mistakes,
Speaker 4: and I always say, like, if I had to go
Speaker 4: back and change them, I probably wouldn't because I'm who
Speaker 4: I am today because of those mistakes. They're sayings that
Speaker 4: I've done that I've been like, Wow, I don't want
Speaker 4: to fucking ever do that again. Now I know not
Speaker 4: to do that thing, you know, mm hmm, But liken't know.
Speaker 9: I have.
Speaker 4: Everything you do, like is a part of who you are.
Speaker 4: Mistakes and all the good the bad you take it.
Speaker 4: You're talking about different facets of yourself. They all come together,
Speaker 4: Like I agree all that stuff.
Speaker 2: I agree gould to embrace your mistakes or a part
Speaker 2: of who you are. That's why I don't have any regrets,
Speaker 2: to be honest, Well, no, you know, I mean it's
Speaker 2: you know, seriously, I because uh, every decision that I've made,
Speaker 2: even if it was a bad one. It was based
Speaker 2: on how I felt at the time, so I don't
Speaker 2: regret it. You know, I can't go back and change
Speaker 2: so I feel, and I didn't have access to the
Speaker 2: information that I have access now, so I don't really
Speaker 2: blame myself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I I agree with that. I try to.
Speaker 4: I try to live that the same way as well.
Speaker 4: I mean I do. I'm not not nearly as strong
Speaker 4: as the guests. Well, like, I have some regrets in there,
Speaker 4: but like I try to live it the best I can.
Speaker 2: No, dude, I could be lying to you right now.
Speaker 2: I could be weak as hell. I could have losts
Speaker 2: and lots of regrets. I could be, you know, extremely
Speaker 2: mentally unhealthy right now. You'd have no idea.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're right, I've only I've only I could
Speaker 4: count on two hands on times I've clutch alive. So
Speaker 4: you're right.
Speaker 2: You could be putting on an act to me as well.

Speaker 4: guess I call it word vomit, the word vomit out there,
Speaker 4: what you're feeling, what you're thinking. Yes, it's good to
Speaker 4: have some kind of sounding board to go against. And

Speaker 2: You have a good rest of the night.
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you for talking to me. I appreciate it
Speaker 4: you too, Gick Fritz the Cat.
Speaker 2: Oh it is a movie.
Speaker 19: Awesome Chile, Chile.
Speaker 4: Hello, Hi, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I didn't think I would actually be on your your streams.
Speaker 2: Are you riding a motorcycle right now?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 4: No, I'm driving.
Speaker 1: I just went to Popeyes with my friends.
Speaker 2: What year were you born, Kyle.
Speaker 4: I was born in ninety five.
Speaker 3: What year were you born?
Speaker 2: What did you get at Popeye's?
Speaker 1: Personally, I just got the strawberry cheesecake, the new one,
Speaker 1: and a large sweet tea light ice.
Speaker 5: Just feeling a little something sweet tonight.
Speaker 2: Really, why are you feeling sweet?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just woke up this morning
Speaker 1: and thought it would be a good day into end
Speaker 1: the night and just thought of strawberry.
Speaker 17: Cheesecake with you know, to do the job.
Speaker 2: Do you typically think out your decisions a lot beforehand
Speaker 2: or do you like to make them on a win.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely just want to win, like I have ADHD,
Speaker 1: and I take meds. Well, I don't take the meds
Speaker 1: anymore because they make me feel like a zombie. So
Speaker 1: since I'm AWFU, it's just, you know, just gonna win.
Speaker 2: And how has that served? Does that typically work out
Speaker 2: well for you?
Speaker 12: Honestly?
Speaker 2: Probably not? Probably it doesn't. It doesn't.
Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, and tell me, well, tell me about the
Speaker 12: last time you made a decision on a whim that
Speaker 12: did not work out for you.
Speaker 1: So I ended up buying in a new car, like
Speaker 1: a brand new car after looking at a YouTube video,
Speaker 1: and the next day I went and bought it, and
Speaker 1: I spent forty two thousand dollars and I had it
Speaker 1: for two and a half months, realizing I couldn't afford
Speaker 1: the payment, so I had to get rid of it.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yep, that was that was definitely
Speaker 1: a bad decision.
Speaker 2: DEVI did you get back the money that you spent
Speaker 2: on the car?
Speaker 1: Actually I made three grand off the car, so it's
Speaker 1: not really a bad decision in that sense, because you know,
Speaker 1: I had a friend helped me do some you know,
Speaker 1: modifications to the car, but it was all free because
Speaker 1: of his old parts and ended up making all.
Speaker 2: Right, so you made money. So it worked. So you
Speaker 2: made money and you got to drive the car for
Speaker 2: two months. Yeah, yeah, it did work out that way.
Speaker 18: Yeah, you put it that way.
Speaker 9: Definitely worked out.
Speaker 2: You should totally put it that way. I mean I
Speaker 2: would not I would not recommend buying a forty two
Speaker 2: thousand dollars car that you can't afford. But yeah, it
Speaker 2: worked out.
Speaker 18: It worked out for you, Yeah, hundred percent.
Speaker 2: I don't. So it sounds to me like you've got
Speaker 2: a good track record so far. It sounds to me
Speaker 2: like this method is good for you, it has served you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that's that's a valid point
Speaker 1: you have there, Therapy, get.
Speaker 2: Go, well, continue to make these off the wall, on
Speaker 2: the fly decisions and see if they work out.
Speaker 18: But could you repeat that you were cutting out a
Speaker 18: little bit there?
Speaker 2: What did you say? Your name was?
Speaker 4: Kyle?
Speaker 2: Kyle, you enjoy your desserts? Are you're nervous?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 20: Dude, it's crazy, man.
Speaker 1: I've been watching you on TikTok for the longest times,
Speaker 1: like this is surreal.
Speaker 2: Right now is just the first time you called into
Speaker 2: the stream.
Speaker 1: I've been calling you for the last hour and that
Speaker 1: little lady that says state your name has come up
Speaker 1: like six times, so we thought we were going to
Speaker 1: get connected.
Speaker 2: Do you think that that lady is little or inherently?
Speaker 2: Do you think she's a small lady?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's you know, the little voice that
Speaker 1: you get in your head. She's a perfect auditory representation
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 2: I actually think she's huge.
Speaker 1: Whoa, why do you think that?
Speaker 2: I think she's like six hundred pounds and like twelve
Speaker 2: feet tall. I think she's a giant, giant woman.
Speaker 4: That's That's a lot to take it in.
Speaker 2: Hey, have a good rest of the night, Kyle.

Speaker 2: We'll make it quick here Devon.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that was fine.
Speaker 2: I feel bad because all the return calls, because if
Speaker 2: you're a return caller, it means that you're a fan
Speaker 2: of the stream. I means you've been watching for a while,
Speaker 2: which I appreciate. I want to keep those people happy.
Speaker 2: But on the same coin, I always prefer to talk
Speaker 2: to new people.
Speaker 14: Oh you're chilling.
Speaker 8: No, I know.
Speaker 14: I didn't expect even to get on.
Speaker 3: It was just like I'm avoiding writing my essay right now.
Speaker 2: So I was like, fuck it, let's call why are
Speaker 2: you avoiding writing your essay?
Speaker 3: Because I just I, Okay, it's about something I'm passionate about.
Speaker 3: It's about food insecurity and the LGBC community and how
Speaker 3: they intersect. But I'm just like not in the mood
Speaker 3: to write a five page essay on intersectionality right now.
Speaker 2: You know what, I don't understand. If you're passionate about it,
Speaker 2: why are you having such a hard time writing it?
Speaker 14: I'm tired?
Speaker 9: Go to that.
Speaker 10: What time is?
Speaker 2: It's what time? Where I see? Devin? I already know
Speaker 2: about you.
Speaker 1: You I know you.
Speaker 2: I know where you live. I mean, not like where
Speaker 2: you live, but I know the state that you live in.
Speaker 14: I think, what do you think?
Speaker 4: What do you think?
Speaker 14: Where do you think?
Speaker 9: I live?
Speaker 2: Texas? Right?
Speaker 14: No, No, I live in California. Oh he lived in Texas.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I confused to with the other guy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know who you are, but I know that you
Speaker 2: do hair and makeup.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's the thing. I already know everything about you, Devon.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 14: Like I said, I didn't expect to get on.
Speaker 2: Go out your essay, Devon, Go go go write about
Speaker 2: food scarcity in the LGBTQ community. Okay, you know what
Speaker 2: you should do. Look, if you have trouble writing it,
Speaker 2: I mean, can you talk about like why don't you
Speaker 2: why don't you like do a little voice memo there's
Speaker 2: some dictation of your raw thoughts and then edit that.
Speaker 3: M you know what, that's actually really smart.
Speaker 2: Try that, Devin.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that's actually that's really helpful.
Speaker 2: Thank you, of course, of course, Devin. See, it's funny.
Speaker 2: I don't want to. I'll talk about this real quick
Speaker 2: actually because it's funny.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: I used to before I started streaming, I like would
Speaker 2: edit video, I would like recording edit videos offline. But
Speaker 2: with this is almost like my version of that, where
Speaker 2: I rant and just talk off the cuff or whatever,
Speaker 2: and then I go on and then I go and
Speaker 2: I edit it in in and into its own video,
Speaker 2: and then I put that on fucking TikTok or whatever.
Speaker 2: And that feels like I'm taking my long, long rant
Speaker 2: and editing it down into like the whatever, And that
Speaker 2: works for me better than to just like sit down
Speaker 2: and write the concise thoughts.
Speaker 10: You know what.
Speaker 3: That's so fucking smart because I'm the same way. I
Speaker 3: feel like I have so much to say, but just
Speaker 3: like no way to put it in words. So I
Speaker 3: feel like if I just talk it out and ramble,
Speaker 3: I could easily disfect it.
Speaker 14: That's actually really smart, exactly.
Speaker 2: You talk it out, your ramble and you edit it,
Speaker 2: then you edit it for the real parts.
Speaker 14: Well, I had never think of that. You're you're so smart.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Devin. You're a genius. To go go go
Speaker 2: say go save the go go go do the thing, Devon,
Speaker 2: go do the thing. Thank you very much.
Speaker 18: All right?
Speaker 16: Pull from Amber Amber, Hello, Amber, Hi, longtime listeners, color.
Speaker 2: Oh so great to hear from you, Amber. How are you?
Speaker 2: How long have you been listening for?
Speaker 16: That was actually a complete life. This is the first
Speaker 16: stream I've ever watched. My boyfriend introduced me to you
Speaker 16: yesterday and it's been fantas.
Speaker 2: Beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 10: You know what.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy that you told the truth.
Speaker 16: Yes, I'm sorry that I lied, but I've always wanted
Speaker 16: to say that, and it felt right, it felt natural,
Speaker 16: so I just let it slip out.
Speaker 2: Why have you always wanted to say that?
Speaker 4: I don't want?
Speaker 16: My boss said at once, and I thought it was
Speaker 16: really funny. So I and speaking of this, uh, my
Speaker 16: coworker and friend is watching. His name is Warren, So
Speaker 16: I just want to say, hi, Warren, I just started.
Speaker 2: What in what in there work context did he say?
Speaker 2: Longtime listener, first time caller?
Speaker 16: It was like a WebEx meeting that we were getting into.
Speaker 16: Let me just said it, and it was funny. So
Speaker 16: I've always wanted to use it. So not only did
Speaker 16: I lie, but I stole for real?
Speaker 2: Well you well you didn't missed. Well okay, well you
Speaker 2: used it in the context that felt appropriate, because this
Speaker 2: is a call in show, and it would make sense
Speaker 2: if you called it and said long Land just stiter
Speaker 2: for some car. But your boss saying in a zoom
Speaker 2: meeting doesn't seem I mean, I guess that could be
Speaker 2: funny if like, because you're I guess you're calling into
Speaker 2: a zoom meeting, right.
Speaker 16: I mean it made me laugh, but I you know,
Speaker 16: lots of things make me laugh.
Speaker 8: I like to laugh.
Speaker 2: How are you doing, Amber, Tell me everything? Tell me nothing.
Speaker 16: I'm doing all right. I mean I've had a headache
Speaker 16: all day. But I mean there's worse things in the world,
Speaker 16: you know, so.
Speaker 2: In the world than having a headache, the.
Speaker 16: Holocaust, getting pregnant and STD being addicted to drugs being homeless.
Speaker 2: Boom, that was impressed.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh, and I have a question for you. Yes, will
Speaker 2: it work.
Speaker 16: Here's the thing. I'm going to just say yes because
Speaker 16: will it work? Yes, something will work. What will work
Speaker 16: is subject. It might not be what you want, but
Speaker 16: it will work eventually, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Some STDs are not as bad as having a headache
Speaker 2: like chlamydia. I would rather have chlamydia than a headache.
Speaker 16: Absolutely not hard past my friend.
Speaker 2: You just tell you to take a pill and it's done. Mm.
Speaker 16: Same with a headache, right, well.
Speaker 2: You would, holle. I mean avil is not as effective.
Speaker 2: What if it's a really bad headache.
Speaker 16: You know they have injections uh that you can get
Speaker 16: to relieve headaches for multiple months, I think, But it
Speaker 16: doesn't make your lips looked. Depends on who you are.
Speaker 16: I mean, I used to have to have a I
Speaker 16: have a I have an autoimmune disease, and I used
Speaker 16: to have to give myself injections in the stomach every
Speaker 16: two weeks. Didn't hurt at all, It wasn't bad, you know.
Speaker 2: That was the first like confident answer, by the way,
Speaker 2: that yes, you said, yes, it will work, a lot
Speaker 2: of people say they hope. A lot of people and
Speaker 2: I don't know how long you've been listening. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you it's Amber. I mean, I mean I
Speaker 2: don't trust you at all anymore. You seem like, I mean,
Speaker 2: that's not a lie. I trust you a little bit.
Speaker 2: You you could have, for all I know, and hoped
Speaker 2: this could be the very you could have spent fifteen
Speaker 2: minutes total in the stream. But over the over the
Speaker 2: course of the evening, a lot of people have been
Speaker 2: saying that they hope it works. But you didn't even
Speaker 2: say it. But you just said, yes, it will work.
Speaker 16: Hope doesn't give you any results. And I used to
Speaker 16: be a very pessimistic person. But you know, in the
Speaker 16: last couple of years, Uh, my boyfriend has proved to
Speaker 16: me that things work out. Whether it's what you planned
Speaker 16: or not planned, things work out.
Speaker 4: In the end.
Speaker 16: You got to you got to see it through.
Speaker 2: So what has your boyfriend done to you, say, prove
Speaker 2: this to you?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 16: Well, I mean, I guess he hasn't proved anything, but
Speaker 16: he always tells me when I'm going through something hard,
Speaker 16: He's like, it's going to work out in the end.
Speaker 16: You're just not at the end yet and he's been
Speaker 16: right every time, you know.
Speaker 2: Mmmm, So he's.
Speaker 16: Every bad thing that's happened to me. I look back
Speaker 16: and every bad thing, every bad situation that's happened to me.
Speaker 16: It's over and done with now and I've moved on.
Speaker 16: Will there be bad things in the future. Probably, But
Speaker 16: you know what, you just got to keep going because yes,
Speaker 16: it will work.
Speaker 2: That's like the only that's something you can only realize
Speaker 2: after time experience. Oh, absolutely, having lived through.
Speaker 16: It, absolutely, I agree.
Speaker 2: Do you feel experienced in life?
Speaker 10: Not yet?
Speaker 16: You know, I've got a lot to go. I've got
Speaker 16: a lot to learn. I'm only twenty eight years young,
Speaker 16: so lots more to learn, you know.
Speaker 2: And ber I got to say, you are a total
Speaker 2: team player.
Speaker 16: I won't disagree with you. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Speaker 16: I'm big on team playing.
Speaker 2: You're a total team playing. You've gone, You've gone every
Speaker 2: direction I've asked you to go, and you've not questioned
Speaker 2: it once. And that's the high. That's the best thing
Speaker 2: I could possibly ask for from anyone calling into the stream.
Speaker 16: This is your show. I'm not going to ask you questions.
Speaker 16: I mean, that's that's not my job.
Speaker 2: I love it I love it, Ambert. Uh, what do
Speaker 2: you think you can do to make it work?
Speaker 16: Keep a positive attitude and try to be more truthful
Speaker 16: in the in the future. I don't want to lie
Speaker 16: to people like I just lied to you at the beginning.
Speaker 16: That was that was an awful way to start this friendship.
Speaker 16: So yeah, just you know, keep being true to myself
Speaker 16: and try to try to tell the truth as much
Speaker 16: as possible.
Speaker 2: It was the last big lot before the one that
Speaker 2: you told. I mean, that was a little bit of
Speaker 2: a white lie. What was the last big lie you told.
Speaker 16: I'm not big on big lies. I'm really not white lies, Like, hey,
Speaker 16: do these jeans lioten on me? Yeah, of course I knew.
Speaker 16: I don't want to hurt some feelings.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 16: I'm not big on big life. I'm I mean, ask
Speaker 16: anyone of you that knows me very well, and I
Speaker 16: honestly is a huge thing for me. I am a
Speaker 16: very open person. I don't like lying.
Speaker 2: You said, you said that you will lie in order
Speaker 2: to save someone's feelings, though.
Speaker 16: In certain aspects, yes, I don't want to make somebody
Speaker 16: feel lesser of a person for little tiny things that
Speaker 16: don't matter. In the end, you know, what you look
Speaker 16: like doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: It really doesn't.
Speaker 2: But so okay, maybe I'm thinking of this because I
Speaker 2: am a whatever. But if a friend asks you if
Speaker 2: they look fat in a dress or whatever, is it
Speaker 2: better for you to lie and say that they don't
Speaker 2: or is it better for you to say it doesn't
Speaker 2: matter what you look like as a response to them,
Speaker 2: As a response to that question.
Speaker 16: It depends on the friend. And I know where my
Speaker 16: friends are mentally, you know, if they're able to take
Speaker 16: the hit and like they're like, hey, does this dress
Speaker 16: look good on me? I'll be like, you know what,
Speaker 16: I don't think that dress was made for you. There's
Speaker 16: other dresses that would way more bomb money. Let's find
Speaker 16: that dress. But you know, if I know they're down
Speaker 16: in the dumps and they're not filing themselves, I'm gonna
Speaker 16: be like, girl, you look good on anything you wear,
Speaker 16: So it doesn't matter what you wear. You put it
Speaker 16: on and you own it. You have that confidence.
Speaker 2: Really, but you'll say that and not truly believe it.
Speaker 16: No, no, no, See, now you put me in a corner,
Speaker 16: come on, get go.
Speaker 2: Which I'm not trying to put you out a corner.
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you if you'll say it with
Speaker 2: that truly believing it.
Speaker 16: Well, no, because I do truly believe that. I do
Speaker 16: believe that if you have the confidence that you could
Speaker 16: rock anything, if you're talking about clothes and wearing it.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, Yes, that's that's what I'm asking. Okay,
Speaker 2: because for you to okay, because for you to say
Speaker 2: like you look good at anything, you might not truly
Speaker 2: believe it, But for you to have this general idea
Speaker 2: that anyone can look good in anything as long as
Speaker 2: they have the confidence to pull it off, that could
Speaker 2: be a truth idea. And then and then exactly what
Speaker 2: you would say to her is you can look at
Speaker 2: it anything if you you don't have the confidence to it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I wouldn't consider that a lie. I would
Speaker 2: consider a truth a great message as well.
Speaker 8: And we agree, and we agree.
Speaker 2: Well, Ambert, So anything else that you wanted out of this,
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like you know you called in I.
Speaker 2: I you know you've definitely provided me a lot of
Speaker 2: value in your fast paced answering style. You seem like
Speaker 2: you know what you want out of life. Is anything
Speaker 2: I can do for you?
Speaker 16: You've done it. I mean, I excited that I got
Speaker 16: to call in on my first stream that I've watched,
Speaker 16: and you answered. That's amazing. I feel very lucky. I
Speaker 16: don't want to take up too much of your time.
Speaker 16: There's other people that have been watching you, probably for
Speaker 16: way longer, and probably want to get on the phone
Speaker 16: with you.
Speaker 17: So thank you so much.
Speaker 16: What you do is great. I mean, I go to
Speaker 16: I go to therapy with a human, but I think
Speaker 16: therapy with the get Go is equally as great.
Speaker 9: I love it.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Amber. I appreciate that very much.
Speaker 2: Hope to see you in future streams. Talk to you soon.
Speaker 16: Oh absolutely, thank you.
