Speaker 1: Hello, Hi, Hello, I'm Alexandra. It's just Alexandra without the Yeah.
Speaker 2: How can I get you today?
Speaker 1: Oh? I don't know. I just got back from the
Speaker 1: gym and was hanging out and I turned on your
Speaker 1: stream and I thought i'd text you.
Speaker 2: That's not what you wanted to talk about. You wanted
Speaker 2: to talk about how you collect human skulls. That's what
Speaker 2: you texted me.
Speaker 1: That's correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to the skulls.
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't know if you really wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about the skulls. It's kind of a I'm a cob thing.
Speaker 1: But I guess you called me so you want to
Speaker 1: talk about it.
Speaker 2: What kind of skull these human? These are human skulls.
Speaker 1: These are human skulls, real human skulls, medical specimens. I
Speaker 1: have a few collector friends. There's like a I guess
Speaker 1: there's a little network of online skull collectors and kind
Speaker 1: of became a part of the community, and well, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I like got my hands on one, and
Speaker 1: then I became a part of the community. And now
Speaker 1: it's like they're all over the place if you look.
Speaker 2: That's a much more wholesome answer. I thought you were
Speaker 2: going to say Craigslist or Tinder.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think that's allowed.
Speaker 2: How long have you been doing this for?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I guess it's been. That's like twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: maybe twenty sixteen or twenty seventeen. I had always collected skulls, like,
Speaker 1: I always loved animal skulls. I have deer skulls and
Speaker 1: big cool elk antlers and like an African eland and
Speaker 1: just big animal skulls. But then I guess I graduated
Speaker 1: to human skulls.
Speaker 2: Do you ever think about the human that is behind
Speaker 2: the skull, like the human that the skull once belonged to?
Speaker 1: I do, Actually, I think about it a lot. But
Speaker 1: it's very interesting to consider this now specimen and who
Speaker 1: they used to be. Can't get too caught up in it, though?
Speaker 2: Well do you mean you can't? What do you mean
Speaker 2: you can't get too caught up in it? What happens
Speaker 2: if you get too caught up in it?
Speaker 1: Well, you you just always leave yourself wondering. I'll never
Speaker 1: know who these people were. They usually don't come with
Speaker 1: a story or anything. They're just they're just specimens now.
Speaker 1: And do you try to always respect the person that
Speaker 1: they used to be? But I'll never really know who
Speaker 1: they were, so I can't drive myself nuts trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out.
Speaker 3: Do you.
Speaker 2: Think how would you feel if one day your skull
Speaker 2: ended up in the hands of a skull collector.
Speaker 1: I think that would be really cool. Actually, most of
Speaker 1: the skull collectors I know anyway are super respectful and like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like keepers of artifacts. So I think
Speaker 1: it would be cool to be a part of a collection,
Speaker 1: provide a court skull collector general respectable person. But I
Speaker 1: find they usually are like a lot of people that
Speaker 1: the deal with death and our way into death, there's
Speaker 1: just this air of respect. I mean, there has to
Speaker 1: be m.
Speaker 2: Do you ever are when you say, have you ever
Speaker 2: met anyone who like just keeps their skulls on the
Speaker 2: floor or like in fins with the Christmas lights?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I saw one guy who had like a crate. It
Speaker 1: was like a photo online and he just had like
Speaker 1: a bunch of them and like a milk crate. And
Speaker 1: I didn't really like that very much, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe he ran out of storage or something.
Speaker 2: Somebody in the chat asked if people ever practiced kissing
Speaker 2: the skulls or if that's strange.
Speaker 1: I would hope not. I feel like there is much
Speaker 1: better things to practice on, mainly living people.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't really have, you know, like lips, so
Speaker 1: it would it doesn't translate well to the living.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's true. That's true.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Do you ever.
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: How how old are these people whose skulls you have?
Speaker 1: It's hard to say adults. I have one that is
Speaker 1: a Tibetan capola, a skull cap used in Buddhist ritual stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's carved, but it's a very very small skull
Speaker 1: cap so I think that one was an adolescent or
Speaker 1: a child.
Speaker 2: You have a Tibetan child's skull.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really cool. It's carved as a Maha College
Speaker 1: demon and it's one of the best carvings I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to have this specimen. I got a
Speaker 1: really good price on an auction in Switzerland online.
Speaker 2: That's crazy that you can buy a child's skull in Switzerland.
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem very Swiss to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, Well, I don't know. It might have
Speaker 1: been Switzerland. I think I do several of these, like
Speaker 1: international auctions. I find it easier to just deal with
Speaker 1: my skull collector friends. But I don't know. I went
Speaker 1: to Switzerland once a long time ago. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: kind of weird, like child porn was legal still I
Speaker 1: don't know if it still is. But they had like
Speaker 1: weird flyers and stuff, and I asked my tour guy
Speaker 1: what the hell that was about?
Speaker 2: You know, honestly, with them selling the child's skulls, I'm
Speaker 2: not super surprised.
Speaker 1: Well, it was like from an old collection of somebody
Speaker 1: who collectives a lot of this Buddhist spiritual stuff. So
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's necessarily a Swiss thing and
Speaker 1: have child skulls.
Speaker 2: Just every is it? What if there was just like
Speaker 2: a child's skull in every home in Switzerland.
Speaker 1: That would be a lot of dead children. The child
Speaker 1: skulls are really cool actually because they have their baby teeth.
Speaker 1: If you get if you find a young enough specimen
Speaker 1: and there's still like the adult teeth there the other
Speaker 1: there's like two sets of teeth that looks really neat.
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you would do you feel like
Speaker 2: you would have a really good conversation about skulls with
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Dahmer? Uh?
Speaker 1: I don't know he had a few, but I think
Speaker 1: we collect for different reasons. I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: if he was really that good of a conversationalist. Anyway.
Speaker 2: There was Ted Bundy, I think was the one who
Speaker 2: people said was very charming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard that, Yeah, and I guess in his
Speaker 1: interviews and court stuff he had that that air about him.
Speaker 2: How much How much did you pay for the child skull?
Speaker 2: How much was it?
Speaker 1: Well, that particular one came in a lot. It was
Speaker 1: two Tibetan capolas. One was very normal, not carved and
Speaker 1: adult size, and then there was this one and they
Speaker 1: were it was like mislabeled or something, or maybe it
Speaker 1: was just the fact that people don't really search for
Speaker 1: skull in Swiss. But I will put all the different
Speaker 1: languages into the air National option site so I can
Speaker 1: find what I want, obviously. But together they were like
Speaker 1: eight hundred euro and then there's a twenty percent buyers
Speaker 1: tax when you give these ouptions, and usually it's like
Speaker 1: twenty percent, and then shipping is a giant pain in
Speaker 1: the ass, usually very expensive as well. So all around,
Speaker 1: I think it was about a grand or more, just
Speaker 1: a little more.
Speaker 2: Wow, you could that's like, that's I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2: How much is it to have it? It costs like
Speaker 2: two hundred thousand dollars or something, right to raise a
Speaker 2: child from a baby to an adult, right, something like that.
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? That sounds like a lot.
Speaker 2: So that's like, I mean, that's like a ninety seven
Speaker 2: percent discount if you just buy the dead one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, definitely a lot cheaper. And they don't need
Speaker 1: noise and stuff. They don't need college. They're good listeners.
Speaker 2: What do you tell the skulls?
Speaker 1: I sometimes like to come home and just tell them
Speaker 1: about my day.
Speaker 2: Do you like, do you ever have a moment where
Speaker 2: you realize that you're talking to a skull of a kid?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I try. I make an effort to
Speaker 1: try and talk to him, you know, like a plant.
Speaker 1: It's like good forum or something if you talk to
Speaker 1: them right, right, right. But I don't have like full
Speaker 1: blown conversations. I don't think I'm that crazy. But I
Speaker 1: will come home and say hi sometimes and tell it
Speaker 1: about my day or whatever. I have this one shelves
Speaker 1: that's got like four lined up, so I have this
Speaker 1: like little audience if I have anything to say, which
Speaker 1: is always nice.
Speaker 2: What's the last thing you said to your audience of skulls?
Speaker 1: Oh, darn it, I don't remember. It's actually been a
Speaker 1: minute since. I uh, since I wouldn't have a chat
Speaker 1: with any of them. But I think I I think
Speaker 1: I said something to my cannibal skull when I was
Speaker 1: fixing its head dress.
Speaker 2: What's a cannibal skull?
Speaker 1: I have a couple different tribal skulls. They're from into
Speaker 1: cannibalistic tribes from Papua New Guinea called the Asthmat. They
Speaker 1: used to practice cannibalism. They kind of don't anymore, you know,
Speaker 1: like around the fifties or so, the Dutch came in
Speaker 1: and we're like, bro, don't do that, and pushed a
Speaker 1: lot of Christianity on people, and they kind of like
Speaker 1: came to an agreement where they didn't really.
Speaker 3: Have to.
Speaker 1: Kill each other for heads and stuff, so they stopped.
Speaker 2: You know, people talk, people talk a lot of shit
Speaker 2: on Christian colonization and and that shit. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: no historian, but it's it's probably mostly granted. But if
Speaker 2: if the Christian colonization did do one thing, it stopped
Speaker 2: people from eating each other, which is I think a
Speaker 2: good I think everyone can agree is a good thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think. You know, they were
Speaker 1: just stuck in their waves for a while. So having
Speaker 1: somebody come in and be like, do you have to kill,
Speaker 1: eat and use each other's skulls all the time? And
Speaker 1: you know, when you sit and evaluate the situation, like
Speaker 1: maybe they maybe they don't have to started using different
Speaker 1: things in place of the skulls and their rituals. So
Speaker 1: everything was still kosher with the religions and stuff, but
Speaker 1: just didn't have to kill anybody. But when the ancestors die,
Speaker 1: they'll decorate the skulls and stuff, so they still have
Speaker 1: skulls around.
Speaker 2: How do you feel out rib cages?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't have any rib cages. I've looked at them before.
Speaker 1: It'd be cool to have one of they're a bit expensive,
Speaker 1: especially with this plane attached.
Speaker 2: What's your name again, Alexander? Andrew? Alexandra? Alexandra? Is anything
Speaker 2: else you want to say to the people of the
Speaker 2: computer before we go?
Speaker 1: Happy Halloween, have a good night, you see, Thanks, get
Speaker 1: go bye bye.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 3: Hey? Is this Lyle?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Where are you at?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: You're like in a you're at the supermarket right now?
Speaker 2: Where are you a.
Speaker 3: Little bit more quiet? Hi? Sorry?
Speaker 2: Where were you?
Speaker 3: Where was I? Oh? I'm a I'm at a bar
Speaker 3: that I work at.
Speaker 2: Oh you're at a bar that you work at? Are
Speaker 2: you allowed to just stop manning the bar and go
Speaker 2: talk to Well?
Speaker 4: Actually, I'm here on my day off. Actually we're we're
Speaker 4: a retro video game bar. So I'm playing a green
Speaker 4: of Time.
Speaker 2: Well you can play. I feel like a bar is
Speaker 2: a terrible place to play Arena of Time.
Speaker 3: So we have.
Speaker 4: I want to say, like eight to ten different like
Speaker 4: console stations. We have like a place to we have
Speaker 4: PlayStation five and a switch on a big TV. And
Speaker 4: then at the actual bar top we have a bunch
Speaker 4: of sets of two controllers, like one of them for
Speaker 4: a GameCube, one for sixty four.
Speaker 3: But no, it's actually really fun. I mean you don't
Speaker 3: get the audio for a green up Time, but it's fun.
Speaker 2: But but you don't really I mean operat have Time.
Speaker 2: It's not a game you necessarily you pick up and
Speaker 2: play and put down after five minutes. It's like a
Speaker 2: it's a whole I mean, it's like a it's like
Speaker 2: a job.
Speaker 3: That's that actually is a good point I. So I started.
Speaker 4: I started it, and I got the first two jewels,
Speaker 4: and then somebody deleted.
Speaker 3: It, and so now I'm starting over again. I'm currently
Speaker 3: in the Pika tree, trying of the first one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, people are gonna get fucked up and delete
Speaker 2: your saves. But well, Jamal, what's up man? What's what's Uh?
Speaker 2: Is there anything in particular you wanted to talk about today?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you something funny. So you called me earlier
Speaker 4: and I didn't answer the phone. I was injecting my
Speaker 4: butt with testosterone.
Speaker 2: Uh, that is very funny. You were injecting your butt
Speaker 2: with testosterone.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I go to the gym relatively often, and I've
Speaker 4: fallen into this like depression.
Speaker 3: We'll call it. We'll call it. We'll call it a
Speaker 3: not a depression, We'll call it a pothole.
Speaker 4: I've fallen in this pothole and I was like stopping
Speaker 4: going to the gym, and I was like having trouble
Speaker 4: waking up from.
Speaker 3: One of my buddies suggested it to me.
Speaker 4: He's this six foot eight, gorgeous Brazilian man that's absolutely
Speaker 4: amazing and hilarious. But he was telling me that he
Speaker 4: he went through the prestone one points and he went
Speaker 4: and got some blood test results done and his testosterone
Speaker 4: was really low. So I went, I got some testosterone
Speaker 4: results done through a blood test. This is all like, sorry,
Speaker 4: this is this is something that's new in my life
Speaker 4: that's really strange. So when I got a blood test
Speaker 4: and my testosterone level was at two hundred and thirty one,
Speaker 4: which is really low. But my health insurance just expired.
Speaker 4: So instead I've been buying needles on Amazon and testosterone
Speaker 4: on the dark Web because it's a lot cheaper, and
Speaker 4: then I go and to get blood tests every couple
Speaker 4: of months.
Speaker 2: Sman's just play an Ocarina of Time at an arcade
Speaker 2: bar and shooting dark web testostrade into his ass.
Speaker 3: I googled it. Most testosterone is actually vegan. It's made
Speaker 3: from soy. Yeah. I don't know why I looked that up.
Speaker 2: But I well, then, well, then shove it in your ass, then.
Speaker 3: Please exactly, David, go for it.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, that's a bummer that you know you
Speaker 2: can't just you know, get I'm sorry to hear about
Speaker 2: your health insurance. Are you are like have you spoken?
Speaker 2: Are you able to go to a doctor? At all
Speaker 2: or no.
Speaker 4: So my health insurances are we relapsing? I think might
Speaker 4: be the term. It'll come back up in a month.
Speaker 4: So in a month, I'll be able to go and
Speaker 4: see my doctor again and go get all my prescriptions.
Speaker 4: I'm really open with doctors, so I'll tell them like
Speaker 4: I tell doctors like how much I smoke, how much
Speaker 4: I drink, what drugs I do, if I do any drugs,
Speaker 4: Like I'm very very open with them.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was gonna So are you going to
Speaker 2: let a medical professional know that you're doing this?
Speaker 4: Yes, one hundred percent, as soon as I can see
Speaker 4: a doctor again. So I do one hundred and twenty
Speaker 4: five milligrams twice a week and then it's a ten
Speaker 4: week cycle and I'm on week five right now. But
Speaker 4: it's it's like it's all new territory for me because
Speaker 4: like as far as me and like I don't know
Speaker 4: you know, that's I don't I don't know how to
Speaker 4: explain it's only territory for me because it's I don't
Speaker 4: know you. You open up my cabinet in my kitchen
Speaker 4: and I have like I have peanut butter, and then
Speaker 4: I have like rice paper for like making like like
Speaker 4: salad rolls, and then I have some top ramen, and
Speaker 4: then I have some bouyon, some dashi, and then right
Speaker 4: above that there's this big bag of needles that are
Speaker 4: all like individually wrapped.
Speaker 3: It's kind of funny.
Speaker 2: Okay, has this been making you feel better at all?
Speaker 3: Oh? So that's that's actually so?
Speaker 4: The thing is so so I'm on I'm on week
Speaker 4: five out of a ten week cycle. My buddy, who's
Speaker 4: the gorgeous six and eight bazillion man, he takes I
Speaker 4: think five hundred or like seven hundred milligrams. He's also
Speaker 4: like he like goes to Brazil for like three months
Speaker 4: and like hangs out of gym, gets really fat, does
Speaker 4: a bunch of steroids and works out. So he's like
Speaker 4: on a different level of stuff. Like he's he's very
Speaker 4: much like he's using like anyway he was.
Speaker 2: He was injecting his ass with dark web testosterone when
Speaker 2: he was in middle school.
Speaker 4: There we go, there we go. But uh so he's
Speaker 4: on he's on A. He's he's a he's much more.
Speaker 3: Professional than I am. That's the thing. Honestly, Like I
Speaker 3: don't honestly feel that different. I did. It took me
Speaker 3: a week and a half. But I woke up at
Speaker 3: seven o'clock in the morning and I went to the.
Speaker 4: Gym, and uh, I kind of lied about the about
Speaker 4: the pothole. It's not a pothole. It's been a pretty
Speaker 4: big sick coole. It's been about like seven months that
Speaker 4: I've been in eight months that I've been in this depression,
Speaker 4: and I haven't been to the gym once.
Speaker 3: In like in like those eight months. And so it
Speaker 3: took me. It took me like a week and a half.
Speaker 4: And then and then I woke up one morning and
Speaker 4: I went to the gym, and I don't I don't
Speaker 4: feel that different. Actually I did make it to the gym.
Speaker 5: I have been going on a couple of hikes.
Speaker 3: The gym kind of was.
Speaker 4: It was kind of saddening because when I stopped going
Speaker 4: to the gym, I was benching two twenty five. I
Speaker 4: was squatting three hundred and forty five or three twenty
Speaker 4: five and on.
Speaker 3: These aren't prs.
Speaker 4: These are like I'm doing like sets of ten. I
Speaker 4: was preacher curling one hundred and fifteen pounds. My Catholic extensions,
Speaker 4: my calves are huge. There's not a cafol extension machine
Speaker 4: that I can't mix out. I went to the gym
Speaker 4: and I was doing squats and I just did I
Speaker 4: did one thirty five and I did eight reps, and
Speaker 4: I just I felt sad because I had I had,
Speaker 4: like I gone from being this this fat kid who
Speaker 4: like never worked out to like being like trim and
Speaker 4: cut and like dude, my legs were so strong anyway,
Speaker 4: So it was it was kind of like a down
Speaker 4: er to like go to the gym and see all
Speaker 4: the progress that I had lost just because I got
Speaker 4: a weird headspace for eight months.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to tell you something, if it makes
Speaker 2: you feel any better. Yeah, I'm so out of shape
Speaker 2: that I'm not even one hundred percent sure of anything
Speaker 2: that you were just talking about. So you're doing better
Speaker 2: than me.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that, wele. I actually really do appreciate that.
Speaker 3: I am. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I remember being at the gym, and I remember thinking
Speaker 4: myself that I was too fat to be at the gym.
Speaker 4: And then the next thought that went in my head
Speaker 4: was that if anybody that I ever knew, even somebody
Speaker 4: that I didn't like, like, not just people that I
Speaker 4: care about, somebody that.
Speaker 3: I didn't like to tell me that they were too
Speaker 3: fat to be at the him.
Speaker 6: I told them, can I swear?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, okay. And if it makes should I haven't,
Speaker 2: I need to whatever. It's not about me, but.
Speaker 3: It says about you. This is about us. We're talking.
Speaker 3: We're connecting right now.
Speaker 2: This is a cool thing to say.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: Thank you for saying that.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: M M. Look man, uh, why don't you, uh just
Speaker 2: go back to the gym? Are you? Are you just
Speaker 2: kind of dwelling on on on what what's been lost?
Speaker 3: I think maybe I am.
Speaker 7: I'm going, uh so to our Thanksgiving. I'm going on
Speaker 7: a hike with my brother tomorrow. So we got six
Speaker 7: in the morning. No, I don't have we come a
Speaker 7: five thirty in the morning. My but they're not gonna
Speaker 7: go on a hike, which is gonna be nice because
Speaker 7: we went on the same hike before. It's a five
Speaker 7: mile hike.
Speaker 4: First half is uphill, second half is downhill. And then
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go home, cook something, go to sleep. Friday,
Speaker 4: I'll go to the gym.
Speaker 3: You're right, it's okay, just dwell on it.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean you are by the way, uh, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't consider waking up at seven am. Uh to go
Speaker 2: on a hike on a holiday where everyone's going to
Speaker 2: be sleeping until noon and doing nothing and eating a
Speaker 2: ship a ton of food. That's your It sounds like
Speaker 2: you don't need a fat echo to tell you not
Speaker 2: to dwell, You're already doing it.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be the first.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be the first, thank saving that I spent
Speaker 5: alone in a long time.
Speaker 4: I thought, you, so we going a hike with my brother,
Speaker 4: but as far as like, that's gonna be like a
Speaker 4: two hour thing.
Speaker 5: And then after that, I spent the entire day by myself.
Speaker 2: What the hell's your brother?
Speaker 8: He?
Speaker 3: Uh? My brother has.
Speaker 5: Been going through like a I don't know.
Speaker 3: He's he said that.
Speaker 7: I asked him if he wanted to spend dinner together
Speaker 7: because I had no plans, and he said he was
Speaker 7: very excited to be alone with his books.
Speaker 3: So I chose to respect that.
Speaker 2: So are his folks not your folks as well?
Speaker 3: Uh? So, our.
Speaker 5: Our dad lives in Scotland, so we don't have any family.
Speaker 3: And then my mother passed away a long time ago,
Speaker 3: very very young. All right, that's very young.
Speaker 4: I don't really remember her, but my brother or my
Speaker 4: dad lives in Scotland and so I'll probably get my
Speaker 4: dad a call at some point in time.
Speaker 5: But yeah, we don't really have any family except each other.
Speaker 2: So then who are his folks?
Speaker 3: Sorry, it's folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said he wants to spend time with his folks.
Speaker 3: With his books.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, give it, hold on, just can we pause
Speaker 2: for a second chat. Am I stupid? Or did he
Speaker 2: say books? Or am I just crazy? I thought you
Speaker 2: I thought you said folks.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, I said the books.
Speaker 4: He said he's he's happy to spend his time alone
Speaker 4: with his books.
Speaker 2: Oh crap. Everyone in the chat is telling me that
Speaker 2: they heard books. Ah man, uh man. What's your name again?
Speaker 3: Uh it's it's.
Speaker 5: Not actually, but my my fake name is Jamal Jamal Jamal.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I I Jamal. You're a cool guy man,
Speaker 2: for real. I mean that. I'm not just saying I'm
Speaker 2: just blowing smoke up your ass. I'm I'm impressed by you.
Speaker 2: I'm inspired by you.
Speaker 3: What makes you inspired by me?
Speaker 2: You're going on a hike at six in the morning
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving? How about that? I mean, do you have
Speaker 2: any friends? Do you have any do you have any
Speaker 2: like anyone else you can spend the day with. You
Speaker 2: have you have any people in your life?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I have. I have. I have a lot
Speaker 3: of friends.
Speaker 4: Actually, I'm a I'm a bartender, and I'm a relatively
Speaker 4: well known bartender.
Speaker 3: At one point in time, I was.
Speaker 5: I was listed pretty highly in my bartender communities.
Speaker 4: I got listed by Yago's Top one hundred Bartenders in
Speaker 4: America at one point.
Speaker 3: Slight flex there.
Speaker 2: Literally literally and you're literally figuratively flexing.
Speaker 3: Uh, thank you. That's something I struggled with, is complimenting myself.
Speaker 5: So thank you.
Speaker 3: But I do have a lot of friends. Usually what
Speaker 3: happens is is because I never have any family.
Speaker 4: Well I don't really have any family in the area, sorry,
Speaker 4: except for my brother usually travels for work.
Speaker 5: It's rare that he's actually in town for holidays, So

Speaker 2: Hey, what's up dude? What's going on?
Speaker 11: We're just hanging hanging at home. I was watching your
Speaker 11: stream doing some last minute cleaning before a trip.
Speaker 2: Where are you going?
Speaker 3: I'm going.
Speaker 11: I'm gonna. I'm actually gonna be doing a little California
Speaker 11: tour with the band.
Speaker 2: Oh cool man. It says here you wanted to talk
Speaker 2: about eating mushrooms and fighting your demon in space?
Speaker 11: Right, Yeah, we can talk about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure tell me more.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 11: This is my first time taking mushrooms, and I had
Speaker 11: private experience with a lot of acid and so I
Speaker 11: was like, hey, you know, I asked a friend, like,
Speaker 11: you know, what's it like, and they're like, oh, it's
Speaker 11: a walk in the park. I had to eat a
Speaker 11: bunch to feel anything, and they're like a bigger person,
Speaker 11: which I didn't take into account, and so whatever the
Speaker 11: day times, get some mushrooms, I eat them, and yeah,
Speaker 11: I just started setting in, really started settling in really good,
Speaker 11: like everything was like moving, squirming around. And then it
Speaker 11: wasn't until I felt the wall starting to closing and
Speaker 11: I had to step outside, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 11: it feels like all the plants, all the trees around
Speaker 11: me are like hovering over my head and they're like
Speaker 11: kind of talking to me. They're trying to say something
Speaker 11: that was so freaky.
Speaker 2: And then what were they trying to tell you?
Speaker 11: I don't know. I mean, so I started to get
Speaker 11: this weird, like interconnected type feeling, right, and I almost
Speaker 11: started to go manic, and I started to say like, yeah,
Speaker 11: I kind of felt like they were telling me this
Speaker 11: weird like oh, we're all connected kind of message and shit.
Speaker 11: And at the same time that this is going on,
Speaker 11: I started to feel like it feels like my head
Speaker 11: is like a big funnel. Like it feels like my
Speaker 11: head is like at the end of a funnel, and
Speaker 11: this funnel is like extending all the way out into
Speaker 11: like space, and I could feel like fucking planets moving
Speaker 11: and the cosmos or whatever the fuck. And yeah, I
Speaker 11: was super strange because then again I started to go manic,
Speaker 11: and I started to think I had like these weird
Speaker 11: fucking like superpower things, and I thought that I could
Speaker 11: like channel Neil the grass Tyson's phone number and just
Speaker 11: talk about like some crazy metaphysical fucking like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 11: It was bizarre anyway, the start coming out when I
Speaker 11: fucking start to like, uh, I grew up kind of religious,
Speaker 11: so I started to associate these like weird likabilities with like,
Speaker 11: you know, the devil and all this shit. And then
Speaker 11: that's when like it was such a weird feeling. It
Speaker 11: was like this demon thing that kind of like down
Speaker 11: It felt like it downloaded itself into my head, and
Speaker 11: it felt like ancient, and it felt like it's been
Speaker 11: through like all these weird civilizations and it's like cursed
Speaker 11: so many people.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 11: It was a freaky feeling.
Speaker 2: What did you say to the demon?
Speaker 11: I don't know it just kind of I wasn't able
Speaker 11: to say anything and kind of just came in and
Speaker 11: told me like, like you know you're you're gonna die,
Speaker 11: like your soul's mind like you've you've like lifted the
Speaker 11: veal on like everything on how it works. So now
Speaker 11: like you got to die because you already know how
Speaker 11: everything works.
Speaker 2: How did you feel when the demon told you you
Speaker 2: were going to die?
Speaker 11: Oh dude, I felt fucking like not but dread. It
Speaker 11: was insane, Like I everything in my vision started to
Speaker 11: turn into like a rotting yellow and everything just started
Speaker 11: to rot. It was so disgusting. And then like, uh
Speaker 11: so whatever, I like walk home and everything's just like
Speaker 11: super depressing and scary, and I get in my bed
Speaker 11: and like my room is just like the super ugly
Speaker 11: like like energy kaleidoscope thing. But then and then when
Speaker 11: I lay down, it feels like it demon like like
Speaker 11: shove the hook up my chin, dude, like gnarhally as fuck.
Speaker 11: Like I literally felt it pierced my chin and it
Speaker 11: told me like and I was trying to barter with it.
Speaker 11: I was like, yo, dude, like I don't mean to
Speaker 11: fuck with you like that, like like I won't I
Speaker 11: won't do this shit again if you just like let.
Speaker 2: Me go and now let me ask you this. How
Speaker 2: long ago is this? This was years ago and a
Speaker 2: couple of weirds after the experience was over. Did you
Speaker 2: learn anything from all the dread that you felt?
Speaker 11: Yeah, So it was actually kind of funny because like
Speaker 11: in the middle of the trip, it like pulls me
Speaker 11: out of my body and like we have this fight
Speaker 11: in space and it's like whatever, we're like evenly matched.
Speaker 11: But then after that it was still kind of like
Speaker 11: haunting me with all these like insecurities I had, and
Speaker 11: it was just really weird, like shit that I would like,
Speaker 11: I noticed that all the shit that it was telling
Speaker 11: me was like shit that I would like like put
Speaker 11: out on other people or other things, like I remember there,
Speaker 11: I can't remember exactly, but there's this weird, really weird
Speaker 11: moment where the demon kind of said like I'm lame,
Speaker 11: like Jake Paul or something like that along those lines,
Speaker 11: and I was like, fuck, like wait a minute. And
Speaker 11: then so yeah, towards the end of the trip, what
Speaker 11: I learned was like that demon was kind of just
Speaker 11: me and all the negativity that was like like in
Speaker 11: my head and in myself, you know, and I feel
Speaker 11: like I kind of got like a wrath of my
Speaker 11: own negativity. So after that, I learned, just don't be
Speaker 11: a dick.
Speaker 2: Now, after you encountered this demon that was a representation
Speaker 2: of all of your negativity, did it cause you to
Speaker 2: take control of that and become less negative?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 11: For sure, for sure. I mean, dude, it was like, yeah,
Speaker 11: it was scary as fuck. So I kind of I
Speaker 11: think I did kind of whip my own ass with that.
Speaker 11: And yeah, I'm not I'm not that big of a
Speaker 11: dick anymore, I think. So I still talk shit, I
Speaker 11: still I'm still very opinion opinion Native opinion.
Speaker 2: Has the demon reappeared at all in the years since
Speaker 2: you took the mushrooms?
Speaker 11: Not yet, but I think it will because it's really
Speaker 11: you know, it's funny. Towards at the end of the trip,
Speaker 11: when it finally left my head, it did this really
Speaker 11: weird thing where like I was eating a bag of
Speaker 11: chips right like it had already left my body, and
Speaker 11: it started talking to me through like a family guy
Speaker 11: fucking episode.
Speaker 2: And then it finally, wait, hold on, this demon, you said,
Speaker 2: this demon started talking to you through a family guy episode?
Speaker 11: Yeah, dude, like it was. Honestly, it sounds like it was.
Speaker 11: It might have been like a schizo episode or something.
Speaker 11: It was insane. Anyway, what is that?
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
Speaker 11: Like a schizophrenic episode? It might have been a schizophrenic episode.
Speaker 2: No, but like when you saw a demon talking to
Speaker 2: you through a Family Guy like you were watching Oh.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, So I was watching Family Guy and I
Speaker 11: just started thinking of like I was like, dude, like,
Speaker 11: where the hell is this even going? You know, you know,
Speaker 11: it's like talking the demon in my head. And then
Speaker 11: as soon as I thought that, it kind of like
Speaker 11: Stewie just like burst into this like this wall in
Speaker 11: flames and he was like on fire and it was
Speaker 11: like this super like hellish depiction. It was so strange.
Speaker 11: And then at the same time, like all the characters
Speaker 11: started laughing, and it felt like they were like mocking me.
Speaker 11: You know, it felt like the demon was like kind
Speaker 11: of communicating all that shit to me through the freaking TV.
Speaker 11: Is strange?
Speaker 2: Have you watched Family Guy at all? Since?
Speaker 11: No, it was kind of freaky. It still kind of
Speaker 11: does freak me out.
Speaker 2: But how are you doing nowadays? Like this was all
Speaker 2: four years ago? Do you feel like, how's your development
Speaker 2: sort of been with this in the past three years?
Speaker 11: I feel like my head's a lot like I'm like
Speaker 11: in a more how do I say? I feel like
Speaker 11: I have my head screwed on pretty damn good from
Speaker 11: since then. Yeah, for sure, Like I have this weird
Speaker 11: like thing where I think, especially with psychedelics, And obviously
Speaker 11: this doesn't apply to anybody, like it's not anything to
Speaker 11: mess around with. But I think the more insane you go,
Speaker 11: the more like level headed you come back, you know,
Speaker 11: or and that goes just for life in general. You
Speaker 11: got to go through some really crazy shit to really
Speaker 11: like screw your head on, right, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I, I know I appreciate that. Right, you have
Speaker 2: to go a little bit insane. You got to go
Speaker 2: on that hero's journey of insanity where you kind of
Speaker 2: actually go into the into the deep basement of your
Speaker 2: brain in order for your back and be a regular
Speaker 2: person that you know, stops at stop signs and goes
Speaker 2: to the grocery stats and says hello to people. You
Speaker 2: gotta I don't trust anyone who hasn't gone at least
Speaker 2: a little bit insane at some point in their lives.
Speaker 2: You know, you got to do that in order to
Speaker 2: return to some form of normalcy.
Speaker 11: Yeah, like fucking break down your tower of whatever the
Speaker 11: hell you're built.
Speaker 2: What's your name again?
Speaker 11: My name John?
Speaker 2: John? John? Thanks for talking to me about all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Is there anything else you want to say to the
Speaker 2: people of the computer before we go? Take it easy, dude,
Speaker 2: but take it thanks, John.
Speaker 11: Have a good one.
Speaker 12: All from Lucy.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, what's up?
Speaker 4: Nah?
Speaker 11: No way?
Speaker 2: Is this Lucy?
Speaker 8: It is Lucy?
Speaker 2: Lucy? How you doing? Can you? Can you take me
Speaker 2: off of the speaker phone and the all the do
Speaker 2: all the stuff for us to be on the phone together.
Speaker 8: There we go? Is that better?
Speaker 2: Sure? Is Lucy? What's going on?
Speaker 8: I'm just doing some late night cleaning, I guess, even
Speaker 8: though it's not really late.
Speaker 2: Where I'm at, where you're at in the universe, I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't really know, honestly.
Speaker 2: But you don't have to. You don't have to tell me.
Speaker 2: But you I mean you.
Speaker 8: Know, Oh, I mean, I mean I'm in Iaho. So
Speaker 8: that's it's good.
Speaker 11: It's fun.
Speaker 2: It's a big potato place.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 12: Where I'm around. It's a lot of wheat.
Speaker 8: I have never seen a potato farm, so I'm sure
Speaker 8: it is. So, I'm sure there's lots of potato.
Speaker 12: I do see a lot of wheat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's going on with you? Lucy? How how how
Speaker 2: can I? How can I get you this evening?
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, Well, I don't know. My everything in
Speaker 8: my apartment is pretty much like broken, So that's nice.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. But I'm sure that you what sense broken?
Speaker 8: Well, you know, my bathroom synk doesn't work when turning on,
Speaker 8: it leaks and then there's like a puddle in my bathroom,
Speaker 8: like one of my cabinets fell off the ceiling.
Speaker 12: So it's it's a work in progress.
Speaker 2: Do you feel worthy of nice things?
Speaker 8: I do, honestly, Yeah, especially for how much they charge
Speaker 8: for rent.
Speaker 2: That's good. That's good. Sometimes my toilet clogs, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I really, in my gut know that I deserve it.
Speaker 12: Oh, you feel like you deserve your toilet?
Speaker 2: Every time? Every time I go to flush and the
Speaker 2: water fills back up and it's diarrhea water. I'm always Oh,
Speaker 2: I always look at it and go, That's what I
Speaker 2: fucking get.
Speaker 8: Why Why do you feel like you deserve That's that's
Speaker 8: what's saying.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like it happened if I didn't.
Speaker 2: I feel like getting your toilet clogged with diarrhea water
Speaker 2: is something that only happens to people who deserve it.
Speaker 8: Maybe next time you'll just have to like learn to
Speaker 8: midway flush.
Speaker 2: What's the mid Oh you know what? That's the way? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm dumb, is like, I. Yeah, you got a midway flush.
Speaker 2: You got to do two flushes. You gotta do one
Speaker 2: to get the diarrhea down and then another one to
Speaker 2: get the well I start. I got to a point
Speaker 2: where I was using paper towels instead of toilet paper.
Speaker 2: And that's a recipe for right. I deserve it. I
Speaker 2: deserve it. The more information they give you, yeah, I do.
Speaker 2: And that's okay. When you when you and that's better.
Speaker 2: I don't fight it. I don't go when my diarrhea
Speaker 2: toilet clogs up, I don't go. Oh my goodness, woe
Speaker 2: is me? Why is this happening to me of all people?
Speaker 2: I go, yeah, that makes sense, Yeah that happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm.
Speaker 8: I look to forgive yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. Sometimes I look in the mirror and
Speaker 2: I look horrible, and I'm like I'm like, I deserve
Speaker 2: that too. I eat a lot of meat Lover's pizza today.
Speaker 2: These aren't things, these aren't massive. I actually think these
Speaker 2: are not problems. This is these are all good things.
Speaker 2: These are all like I'm at. It's peaceful. There's a
Speaker 2: real peace in looking at the diarrhea toilet and understanding
Speaker 2: that you deserve it. There's tension when you look at
Speaker 2: the diarrhea toilet and you go, oh my god, why
Speaker 2: is this happening? This is disgusting, this is I know,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like when you fight it
Speaker 2: and it's much better to just accept it and then go, Okay,
Speaker 2: I need to now deal with this. This is an
Speaker 2: event happening in my life that I have brought upon
Speaker 2: myself through negligence, and I am going to assess the situation.
Speaker 2: And that's how when adult deals with a clogged diarrhea toilet.
Speaker 8: You are right, I know that exactly. It's like you
Speaker 8: accept the pure chaos your life is at that moment
Speaker 8: and you're just it's just what it is.
Speaker 2: Hm. Hmm is there anything? Is there anything that I
Speaker 2: can help you with at this at this moment or
Speaker 2: try to.
Speaker 8: Hmmm, Well, I don't know sometimes you have like a
Speaker 8: prompt I feel like I need an intriguing question.
Speaker 2: No, I don't have prompts anymore.
Speaker 12: You don't have anymore?
Speaker 2: Yeah, should I bring him back?
Speaker 8: You should? Because I just started listening from like the
Speaker 8: beginning of your episodes. Yeah, you still three or so
Speaker 8: weeks ago or something.
Speaker 2: I just don't like. I got bored of them after
Speaker 2: a while, Like, well, what are some good prompts?
Speaker 11: Hm hmm.
Speaker 12: I don't you know.
Speaker 8: That's a great question exactly that could that could be.
Speaker 2: Prompt prompts are limiting. Prompts are like, all right, we're
Speaker 2: gonna go deep into something. In when I was in
Speaker 2: high school, I learned about this might all be a
Speaker 2: fucking lie. In high school, I learned about why certain
Speaker 2: people in the US government when it was being founded,
Speaker 2: why they opposed the Bill of Rights. And I've learned
Speaker 2: that some people had issues with the Bill of Rights
Speaker 2: because they thought that if the Bill of if, if
Speaker 2: our rights were defined narrowly, it would leave other rights
Speaker 2: off the table. You know what I'm saying, Like, if
Speaker 2: we had like the the the more elastic the document,
Speaker 2: the broader our rights as people would be. And if
Speaker 2: and if our rights were you know, build out one
Speaker 2: through ten, then they would be these specific rights and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden it would be like, well,
Speaker 2: that's not on the Bill of Rights, so you don't
Speaker 2: have the right to it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: I do so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well so for it's like the prompt, it's like
Speaker 2: what it's like the problem that people have at the
Speaker 2: Bill of Rights. It's like, well, what if somebody wants
Speaker 2: to tell a story that's not you know, wins the
Speaker 2: time that you felt. I don't know, I can't even
Speaker 2: think of a fake prompt to do it. But like
Speaker 2: if the prompts, they exclude all things that are not
Speaker 2: within the prompt, and that's why I always took a
Speaker 2: shue with them.
Speaker 8: I mean, that's valid. You could have a prompt and
Speaker 8: be and say or open ended what you'd like to
Speaker 8: talk about, right, But I guess that's a lot more
Speaker 8: words and that's lot more energy, So that's hard.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Look, sometimes I do this stream and I'm like, I
Speaker 2: don't know if this is this went well, But then
Speaker 2: other times I'm like, this was really interesting. I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to having, you know, people listen to this, and
Speaker 2: that's okay.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 12: It really is.
Speaker 8: Sometimes you can't have every moment, can't be extremely exciting,
Speaker 8: because then there are no exciting moments.
Speaker 2: I like the way you think, Lucy.
Speaker 8: Thank you. I feel like we're on the same page.
Speaker 2: I do too. I actually feel listens.
Speaker 8: To Wow, thank you, that's a great compliment.
Speaker 2: Well, glad your house is clean. That's awesome.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's still a work in progress. But like even
Speaker 8: if your cabinet falls off the ceiling, you can still
Speaker 8: make it a good day. It's a better day now.
Speaker 2: No, it sounds like a shit day.
Speaker 8: It kind of is a shit day. But most of
Speaker 8: my days we're kind of shitty, So.
Speaker 6: It's okay.
Speaker 2: Lucy. Is there anything else you want to say to
Speaker 2: the people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 8: Hmmm, I don't I don't know. I think I'm going
Speaker 8: to tell them that they need to brush their teeth
Speaker 8: before they go to bed. Who everyone, you brush your
Speaker 8: teeth before you go to bed.
Speaker 2: No, you don't have to do that.
Speaker 3: Ship your teeth.
Speaker 8: You're gonna get cavities then, yeah, well already I have four.
Speaker 2: So you have four cavities.
Speaker 8: My teeth are in a lot of pain at the times.
Speaker 2: Like you're a bit of a hypocrite, Lucy.
Speaker 8: I might be projecting my problems onto the people at
Speaker 8: the stream, and I apologize all the time.
Speaker 2: Maybe that'll be my next question. Maybe that'll be my
Speaker 2: next prompt, is that do you brush your teeth?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 8: Oh okay, I would be interested to see how that
Speaker 8: worked out.
Speaker 3: Have a the rest of the night, Lucy, you too,
Speaker 3: I will I'll see you later.
Speaker 2: Get by, dude, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 12: Not much. I am in the middle of a Legal
Speaker 12: Legends game. But it's okay.
Speaker 2: You're in the middle of a League of Legends game,
Speaker 2: I am, Is it ranked?
Speaker 1: It is?
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna have to take a couple of points
Speaker 2: of a hit, are you?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you good? Are you good?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm good?
Speaker 2: All right? How do you? I don't get you know?
Speaker 2: What is okay? This is unrelated to any anything, but
Speaker 2: well I actually know it is. But okay, So League
Speaker 2: of Legends and DODA and like these what do you
Speaker 2: call them MOBA's games? Yeah, they're like the most popular
Speaker 2: esport in the world, right, Like there's BA in Korea
Speaker 2: that are where it's like more popular than football and
Speaker 2: it's like on the TV and stuff. But I don't
Speaker 2: understand that, because I would think that the most popular
Speaker 2: spectator esport would be something that anybody could look at
Speaker 2: the TV and know what the fuck's going on, like
Speaker 2: Street Like. You could have no idea what video games
Speaker 2: are and look at Street Fighter and go, okay if
Speaker 2: the other if one of the guys dies, that guy
Speaker 2: probably loses. But when I look at Mobile, I have
Speaker 2: no idea what is going on at all. So it's
Speaker 2: very surprising to me that it's so ferociously popular as
Speaker 2: a spectator sport.
Speaker 12: Honestly, I think it's legal legend. Players also don't know
Speaker 12: what's going on, so I think it helps because we're
Speaker 12: also just really lost and we're just pinging everywhere. But
Speaker 12: I think it's like the skill cap is so high.
Speaker 12: People are like, wow, I could never do that, but
Speaker 12: it's like, you really just got log in and lose.
Speaker 12: That's all I do.
Speaker 2: I'm realizing now I could say the same thing about baseball.
Speaker 2: So anyway, what's your name again?
Speaker 12: It's Ashley.
Speaker 2: Ashley. You sent me a text and you just say
Speaker 2: all you said was is my coworker cringe? Or am
Speaker 2: I a hater?
Speaker 12: I didn't know how much to put like I didn't
Speaker 12: know if I could like just like put a wall
Speaker 12: of text, but I didn't like.
Speaker 2: What what you wall of text me with your words?
Speaker 12: Okay, okay cool. So I have a coworker and I
Speaker 12: just don't know if I like have like a distaste
Speaker 12: towards her because she just kind of does really just annoying,
Speaker 12: not herful, just like cringe things, just like seven does things.
Speaker 12: I'm just like, I can't believe you're saying that, like
Speaker 12: to people you don't really really know. We have a
Speaker 12: pretty cushy, cozy dob. So we work. We work in
Speaker 12: a really cozy job, like our boss is great. It's
Speaker 12: an office jobs, very very easy, very cozy, you know,
Speaker 12: it's it's nothing crazy. And uh, I think somebody was
Speaker 12: like heaven, like just like a a day or something
Speaker 12: like that. It's like it wasn't a bad day. They
Speaker 12: were just like, oh, it's like so it's like tiring,
Speaker 12: it's like dragging on and they were like, oh, you
Speaker 12: should take a half day. You're mentals more important than
Speaker 12: this job. Just like what, oh girl, come on, it's
Speaker 12: like it's it's I came apartment, come down or to
Speaker 12: like randomly like I'll like talk to one of my
Speaker 12: coworkers that they asked me for help and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 12: this is how you do X y Z. And they'll
Speaker 12: be like they'll go to that coworker that, like, you know,
Speaker 12: asked a question and they're like, you're here for a reason.
Speaker 12: I'm so proud of you. I'm like, please, like, don't
Speaker 12: talk to me like we're children. That's so cringe. It's like,
Speaker 12: and I get there just to be like really nice
Speaker 12: and hopeful. It's just like it's a bit patronizing, I
Speaker 12: feel like. And it's also just like we're not in
Speaker 12: the trenches, we're not in the coal mine, like we're
Speaker 12: just getting at her death.
Speaker 2: Answer you now, you should put it. You should put
Speaker 2: laxative in her coffee. That's my it's my official declaration.
Speaker 2: That's my official answer to this inquiry. No I am
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be I'm gonna be so honest with you, Ashley.
Speaker 2: You seem like a nice person. I have no idea
Speaker 2: what you just said at all. Oh I really have no. No, No,
Speaker 2: it's not it's not your fault. It's probably mine, But
Speaker 2: I am no, I have no idea what you just said.
Speaker 2: And I think that this person and you are both
Speaker 2: How old are you?
Speaker 12: I'm twenty six.
Speaker 2: All right, So you don't you don't you have how
Speaker 2: much long do you have left to live? Fifty? You
Speaker 2: at least fifty years left to live, and so does she.
Speaker 8: One day?
Speaker 2: But what one day? Both of you guys are going
Speaker 2: to be fucking dead, and nothing that you ever said
Speaker 2: or did will matter, including any of the cringey or
Speaker 2: profound things that either of you said. And so if
Speaker 2: this woman wants to tell people to quit their jobs
Speaker 2: because they're sad, or wants to talk to everyone like
Speaker 2: a kindergartener, let her do her things she's got she's like.
Speaker 2: Treat her, Treat her like she's a dying old man,
Speaker 2: because she's just a young version of that. And if
Speaker 2: a dying old man was saying a bunch of crazy stuff,
Speaker 2: you just you would just let him. He's fuck it,
Speaker 2: he's gonna die. So look at her like she's a
Speaker 2: dying old man and that everything she does is sacred
Speaker 2: and amazing, and you know, go to work and then
Speaker 2: go home and play League of Legends. This is a
Speaker 2: great So this call make is making me happy for
Speaker 2: you because you have such a great life that you
Speaker 2: can do that so does any of what I said.
Speaker 2: Just I really feel like I just made a lot
Speaker 2: of sense just now.
Speaker 12: Yeah, No, I think it's been eye opening.
Speaker 2: Good are you It sounds like you're still playing. I
Speaker 2: heard some keyboard clicks.
Speaker 12: Yeah, we're crushing it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'm gonna let you get back the league.
Speaker 2: Is there anything else you want to say to the
Speaker 2: people in the computer before we go.
Speaker 12: Ashley, No, I think I think we have an understanding.
Speaker 2: Okay, good, Well, have a good rest of the night.
Speaker 12: Well, thank you so much, have a great day.
Speaker 2: That made so much sense what I just said.
Speaker 3: Neverbacon goes on the line making calls every night.
Speaker 2: Every Beacon goes to just teaching yours loud
Speaker 3: In the mean of your life.
