Speaker 1: is this Chrissy?
Speaker 2: Yes it is. How are you get.
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right? How are you doing, Chrissy?
Speaker 3: Pretty good, Chrissy?
Speaker 1: What is your life like? What's going on today?
Speaker 2: Just chilling doing laundry? Not really anything fun today? Are
Speaker 2: you talking about?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Is my life cool today? Or what is my life like?
Speaker 4: In general?
Speaker 1: I let's do in general.
Speaker 2: I'm a pretty busy person. I'm not here maybe more
Speaker 2: than half the month or so due to work. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well okay, Well let me just bring something up here,
Speaker 1: because you have a thing that you called in to
Speaker 1: talk about, and we could talk about that, or we
Speaker 1: could have a meandering conversation about just nothing in particular.
Speaker 2: All right, so how do I narrow this down? Okay, So,
Speaker 2: like three years ago or so, I got this job,
Speaker 2: and long story short, I started dating the manager of
Speaker 2: before and it kind of like it was very secretive
Speaker 2: at first, and it kept going on and on and
Speaker 2: like it's this big disaster now. So we kept it
Speaker 2: a secret because our company has a pretty strict like
Speaker 2: no dating policy because of hr issues that have happened
Speaker 2: within the company, and so we kept it hush. And
Speaker 2: also my brother works there, so like it would be
Speaker 2: very weird for him to find out that, you know,
Speaker 2: this is going on. So fast forward, like two years
Speaker 2: I get promoted to like a corporate position and pretty
Speaker 2: much like I got he was like kind of okay
Speaker 2: with it at first, Like he was kind of he
Speaker 2: was supportive. I could see that, like he was kind
Speaker 2: of jealous and that made things a little rocky.
Speaker 1: Oh he was jealous that you got promoted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't say anything.
Speaker 1: You were promoted above him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So like now I have to tell him what
Speaker 2: to do and sometimes like things. Yeah, and so yeah,
Speaker 2: it's going on like three years now, and so nobody knows,
Speaker 2: you know, like, and so my brother he doesn't know
Speaker 2: still either, right, my mother knows about everything, and she's
Speaker 2: also keeping it a secret for my brother, And so
Speaker 2: I was thinking about telling him, but he started to
Speaker 2: have issues at work, and my boyfriend, you know, his
Speaker 2: manager as well, was giving him like right up and
Speaker 2: stuff because my brother he earned it. Though you're not
Speaker 2: earned it, he deserved it.
Speaker 1: But okay, so let me let me get the straight.
Speaker 1: Your brother is getting into some shit at work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's he's fucking off. You are secretly dating his manager,
Speaker 1: who has been, yeah, giving your brother a hard time
Speaker 1: about all the fucking off that your brother is doing.
Speaker 2: Right, And so my brother started getting like afterword, if
Speaker 2: the idea his howls were hanging out, I think he
Speaker 2: would just start talking crap about him, like how much
Speaker 2: he hates him and this and that. So now I
Speaker 2: really can't tell him. And you know, now, you know,
Speaker 2: we live together now, and I go on business trips
Speaker 2: very frequently for my position, and people people are always
Speaker 2: asking like, you know, what's my life a homelike blah
Speaker 2: blah blah, you know, just small talk, and I've made
Speaker 2: up this whole elaborate lie about like who I live
Speaker 2: with to them because they can't know it's one of
Speaker 2: the store managers, you know. And so yeah, and so
Speaker 2: my friends really don't like him. They like, actually.
Speaker 1: Your friends, So who does know your friends know?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so my immediate like close friends, my mom and
Speaker 2: like one aunt.
Speaker 1: Why do your friends hate this guy?
Speaker 4: Well, he's a.
Speaker 2: Lot older than me, and he they feel that he's
Speaker 2: kind of manipulative and like he gasslightes me a lot.
Speaker 2: I have tried to leave him before, not only due
Speaker 2: to the fact that I was like getting stressed out
Speaker 2: about the fact that we're hiding this, but also like.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 2: I don't want to like date someone that I work with.
Speaker 1: You know, Okay, you said you you tried to leave him.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: Well, he like I would break up with him, and
Speaker 2: then like we still work in the same place. You know,
Speaker 2: I didn't leave jobs, and so things we just circle
Speaker 2: back over again.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so you you tried to leave him, but
Speaker 1: then you guys, you know, were sort of had to
Speaker 1: be in touch with each other and you kind of
Speaker 1: liked being with each other, and.
Speaker 2: So you stay together, right.
Speaker 1: Son, there's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I just feel bad because like he's
Speaker 2: probably a little past the age where he would want
Speaker 2: He's getting older, you know, so like he really wants
Speaker 2: to have kids, and I really don't want to, Like
Speaker 2: that's just at least not here and now, and I
Speaker 2: just can't see myself with him any like more long term,
Speaker 2: you know. And I feel bad that I'm like kind
Speaker 2: of wasting his time in a sense because I know
Speaker 2: he really wants children.
Speaker 1: But I are you waste against? I mean, like I think,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, he he you. You are both making
Speaker 1: the decision to be with each other. It's not your
Speaker 1: fault is wasting it?
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Yeah, that's what I'm trying to remind myself
Speaker 2: too now. So I'm just kind of like pretty much
Speaker 2: I'm nervous to like leave and like just because I
Speaker 2: have to kind of work with him, you know, so
Speaker 2: things might be weird.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I am against Like, by the way,
Speaker 1: can I see this? Is this like a big chain?
Speaker 1: Are you gotta tell you what? Like it is?
Speaker 2: It's growing, It's very big in other parts of the world,
Speaker 2: but it's throwing here, is it?
Speaker 1: Kroger?
Speaker 2: No, it's I don't think you would ever guess it's
Speaker 2: not that big yet, but they're they're trying to be
Speaker 2: I would just say it's tour it's like Asian cultural.
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it Panda Express? Do you work at
Speaker 1: Panda Express?
Speaker 2: No? No, all right, I'll.
Speaker 1: Stop trying to guess where you work. But I'm against
Speaker 1: companies having like I think it's stupid for there to
Speaker 1: be a rule that you can't date, Like, it's stupid.
Speaker 1: It's super for them to be a rule that you
Speaker 1: can't date your co workers, because like, the fuck is
Speaker 1: some company going to tell people what they can and
Speaker 1: can't do outside of work. I think that's stupid. Now
Speaker 1: the rule aside, is it a bad idea to date
Speaker 1: people you work with because of all the situations you're
Speaker 1: running into? Like yeah, totally? Ah man, So I mean
Speaker 1: this guy, let me ask you something. Is he not
Speaker 1: like are you? Is he not like emotionally immature enough
Speaker 1: to be like understanding of where you're coming from with
Speaker 1: this and like no kind of leave you like you
Speaker 1: don't think?
Speaker 2: So I don't think?
Speaker 1: So okay, what makes you say that.
Speaker 2: He is very dependent?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, he put this big persona up
Speaker 2: at first, like he was going to take care of
Speaker 2: me and this and that, and that's not like generally
Speaker 2: why I'm with someone, but it was, you know, some perks,
Speaker 2: and now I'm the one like holding the fort down.
Speaker 2: Well I kind of even when I was making less
Speaker 2: money than him, I still kind of was. And like, yeah, wait, sorry.
Speaker 4: What was the question?
Speaker 1: I was asking you if you felt like he was
Speaker 1: emotionally mature enough to kind of deal with being around
Speaker 1: you even if you guys are broken up.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. I don't think so. But no, I
Speaker 2: don't think so.
Speaker 1: Huh. Well, listen, Uh, you have this job that you
Speaker 1: seem like you like and care about him, would like
Speaker 1: to stay in and would be a shame for you
Speaker 1: to leave because of personal problems, right, and you could
Speaker 1: you could probably say the same about him. I don't
Speaker 1: know this guy, but he probably also likes this job.
Speaker 1: And okay, great, it's okay. So both of you guys
Speaker 1: love the job. You don't see this relationship working out. Uh,
Speaker 1: he wants something. He wants kids, he wants like a
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's older and he wants somebody who
Speaker 1: can he he can like kind of really settle down with.
Speaker 1: Is that what you're getting at?
Speaker 2: Right? And Okay. So another big issue is like, like
Speaker 2: I mentioned, I traveled very frequently for work, so I'm
Speaker 2: not home a lot of the time, and like the
Speaker 2: time that I do have here, I'm still working, but
Speaker 2: just remotely, and all my free time is filled up
Speaker 2: with like taking care of the house and making food
Speaker 2: and this and that, and like his like after he's
Speaker 2: a child, Like I'm not a housewife. That's not what
Speaker 2: I signed up for. I don't mind doing all these things.
Speaker 2: But we agreed before I moved in, like that he
Speaker 2: would put his effort into like equal efforts throughout the house,
Speaker 2: like you know, doing like tours.
Speaker 1: Or like.
Speaker 2: Other stuff. And then like, yeah, he owes me a
Speaker 2: lot of money.
Speaker 1: Too, Why does he owe you money?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: So I went to the Bahamas with him, and I
Speaker 2: was under the impression he went last minute because his
Speaker 2: cousins were going, and I coincidentally had like a week off,
Speaker 2: like out of nowhere. My boss is like, you're working
Speaker 2: like a lot, you should just take a week off,
Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, stay less. And it coincidentally
Speaker 2: had was the time that he was going to the Bahamas, right,
Speaker 2: and I thought his cousin was taking care of everything,
Speaker 2: and I had to pay for so much stuff, like
Speaker 2: maybe you're a lot, like maybe all not including myself,
Speaker 2: like on him alone, maybe around a thousand dollars, which he.
Speaker 1: Liked, but he didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well like for his past at least.
Speaker 1: You know, I can think you paid for him as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like I paid for the room and like
Speaker 2: pretty much everything, all the food, like all the tourist
Speaker 2: stuff we did, and there's like a lot of concert tickets.
Speaker 1: Okay, so so listen. So so you have your issues
Speaker 1: with these guys, is let me ask you this just
Speaker 1: really quick so we can I want to understand exactly
Speaker 1: where you're at with this. Is there any part of
Speaker 1: you that wants to stay with him, or any part
Speaker 1: of you that is even kind of considering building an
Speaker 1: actual life with this person.
Speaker 2: The thing is, like I do love him kind of
Speaker 2: not as much as I used to. But by the
Speaker 2: time I would be ready to settle down, I feel
Speaker 2: like you would be too old, you know, like he
Speaker 2: wouldn't be able to enjoy his children and like even
Speaker 2: maybe ce grandchildren. He's not that old, but like he's
Speaker 2: forty two right now, so like I wouldn't be ready
Speaker 2: for another ten years.
Speaker 1: Or so, You know, Chrissy, it sounds like this. For
Speaker 1: it sounds like this is not great for either of
Speaker 1: you guys, because he wants he's older, he wants a
Speaker 1: different kind of person in a different stage of life
Speaker 1: than you are. So it sounds like it's not beneficial
Speaker 1: for either of you guys to continue back again. So
Speaker 1: it would sounds like it like telling people this on
Speaker 1: this because I've only been talking to you for fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: so I'm not going to pretend like I know every
Speaker 1: single thing about your relationship. But it sounds like you
Speaker 1: guys should declare yourselves to have had your fun and
Speaker 1: then move on. And you know, you seem like you
Speaker 1: can handle that. I don't know him. I haven't talked
Speaker 1: to him. I don't know what his ability to handle
Speaker 1: that is. He should understand if I could talk to him.
Speaker 1: You know, he should understand that if you're dating a
Speaker 1: person that doesn't want the same things that you want,
Speaker 1: then you're you're doomed. You're doomed, so it is of
Speaker 1: nobody's benefit to stay together. So hopefully he understands that.
Speaker 1: As so, look, I mean, you should have the conversation
Speaker 1: with him, maybe say you're goodbyes, and then you're stuck
Speaker 1: with the problem of we work together.
Speaker 2: So here's my plan. My brother is leaving to the
Speaker 2: military in the next like a couple of months, and
Speaker 2: he lives with my mom is supporting her. So he's leaving.
Speaker 2: My mom can't like like pay for everything herself, you know,
Speaker 2: she's not as financially stable. So we're planning on moving
Speaker 2: in together next the beginning of next year.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying of like you and the boyfriend.
Speaker 2: No, I'm going to move in with my mom. We're
Speaker 2: going to go back like a house. Yeah, And so
Speaker 2: my plan is to first he's still paying me back
Speaker 2: to the money he gets or owes me, like every
Speaker 2: wen he gives me money, and I have to wait
Speaker 2: until I get everything back, and then when it's getting
Speaker 2: closer to moving, I can break up with and then
Speaker 2: but yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Know I forgot that you lived with this guy too.
Speaker 1: You guys, you are like, yeah, merge.
Speaker 2: Together in one cup, right, And you know, like I
Speaker 2: have a lot of stuff here, like so much stuff.
Speaker 1: I can't just go, you know, like I Christy, listen,
Speaker 1: I know this is this might be tough to hear,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I'm in the place to
Speaker 1: say it, but I'm going to do it now.
Speaker 2: And still live together.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the fuck you're gonna do there,
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, I don't know what the fuck you're
Speaker 1: gonna do there, But like, like, do it now, you
Speaker 1: got you gotta do it now. There's no what It's
Speaker 1: almost worse for you to delay it because he has
Speaker 1: no I don't know if he has any clue that
Speaker 1: you're thinking about doing this. So so the things only
Speaker 1: get gradually worse the longer you delay ripping off this
Speaker 1: band aid. So just do it now and then, and
Speaker 1: then you two can figure out how you're gonna deal
Speaker 1: with living with each other. But to wait and just
Speaker 1: like silently resent him over dinner every night for the
Speaker 1: next however many months is not a good move.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: How many months is it?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: How many months is it until you until you can
Speaker 1: move out?
Speaker 2: What's this month? So maybe like six seven months?
Speaker 1: Find some poor sucker of a sub letter on craigslist
Speaker 1: if you can. Okay, what do you can? I ask?
Speaker 1: What's state? You do you guess what city you live in?
Speaker 1: Is that too much information?
Speaker 3: You can guess?
Speaker 1: But I don't want to guess a either you're willing
Speaker 1: to tell me or not.
Speaker 2: You had been there pretty recently. It's kind of a
Speaker 2: big city. But if I give it away like I'm
Speaker 2: someone that all right, whatever, you live in a big city.
Speaker 1: If you live in a big city, you'll be able
Speaker 1: to find somebody who can sum let your room. But
Speaker 1: don't wait, don't do not sit in all these resentful
Speaker 1: dinners and uh don't don't don't sit with this in
Speaker 1: your mind for six months. That's a lot. Yeah, christ
Speaker 1: is there anything you want to say to the people
Speaker 1: of the computer before.
Speaker 4: We go.
Speaker 2: No to think for or taking my call?
Speaker 1: Of course, probably I'm.
Speaker 2: Going to thanks.
Speaker 4: I have to break it to him.
Speaker 2: I can't keep doing this.
Speaker 1: We're wishing you the best of luck. Chrissy, you can
Speaker 1: do it. It's better than the alternative, the alternative. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing, and this is I'm gonna finish with this.
Speaker 1: The when you break up, When you break up, it's
Speaker 1: kind of always a good thing because it was not
Speaker 1: like things. It's never things are going good and then
Speaker 1: you break up. You know what I'm saying. So it's
Speaker 1: beneficial for both of you that this is happening. Think
Speaker 1: of it like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, you do, have a good night, Chris, all right,
Speaker 2: probably night.
Speaker 1: I will say this about that call. Sitting with someone
Speaker 1: for six months scheming about how you're going to break
Speaker 1: up with them meanwhile they have no idea sounds way
Speaker 1: worse than breaking up with someone and having to live
Speaker 1: with them for six months, like harboring some secret thing
Speaker 1: and going in your mind like, ah, man, this is
Speaker 1: not gonna you know that. That just sounds that just
Speaker 1: sounds a lot worse than just sitting in the reality
Speaker 1: of it. Hello, Hello, why is this? Uh says your
Speaker 1: name is mister Kats.
Speaker 4: Yes I am, I'm good.
Speaker 1: Where does the name mister cats come from?

Speaker 1: Are you Are you rolling currently?
Speaker 4: Uh? No?
Speaker 3: This is about an hour ago?
Speaker 1: Okay, and how did How did the experience fair for you?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean the whole thing of leading
Speaker 3: into the experience is just me being thirty five year
Speaker 3: old man, losing my life, going down the drain, getting
Speaker 3: a divorce, losing my house, losing my business, kind of
Speaker 3: just pear pressure me into doing something different tonight and
Speaker 3: around a couple of friends and they decided to see
Speaker 3: if I want to try something new, and I said, sure,
Speaker 3: why not? Have nothing else to lose the life, so
Speaker 3: let's just go for it.
Speaker 1: And wait a minute, Wait a minute. So the losing
Speaker 1: your life, you, losing business, losing divorce thing is that you?
Speaker 1: Or is that your friend?
Speaker 4: No, that's me.
Speaker 3: So I was hanging out with some friends on try
Speaker 3: to clear my head and try to wrap my head around. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: just wind up getting wrapped around a drug that I've
Speaker 3: never done before instead.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you'll are you it says you're twenty eight?
Speaker 1: Is that a lie? You thirty five?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm just honest. So my birthdays eighty seven, so
Speaker 3: I'm thirty five.
Speaker 4: I'm just all over.
Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm staring at the white walls expaying
Speaker 3: so something I've never done before.
Speaker 1: So all right, So I mean, how about how did you?
Speaker 1: How how was the experience for you?
Speaker 4: Did you?
Speaker 1: Would you say? Would you rade it a good one
Speaker 1: or a bad one?
Speaker 3: But here it wasn't that bad. It was actually actually
Speaker 3: pretty cool. I'm actually determined whether I should try some
Speaker 3: more or not, if I should be turned to something else.
Speaker 1: Okay, well let me let's let's dive into some stuff
Speaker 1: real quick. Because you're saying all these bad things, you
Speaker 1: got to divorce, your business is failing, uh whatnot. But
Speaker 1: when you're on ecstasy, I find that you're you like,
Speaker 1: can't at least for me, I find that I can't
Speaker 1: think of anything negative. I find that my brain is
Speaker 1: only focused on all the positive feelings in life. Did
Speaker 1: you find that to be a similar thing?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I haven't really had anything. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm in a happy mood right now. It makes me.
Speaker 1: Okay, exactly right, now I'm talking about right now, yeah.
Speaker 3: Right now. Yeah. I feel like I'm just like on
Speaker 3: top of the road and I have nothing to lose.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I feel like nothing can get in my way.
Speaker 3: I can just go out and do anything I want
Speaker 3: to do right now?
Speaker 1: Hm, what do you want to do? Uh?
Speaker 4: Tix my life?
Speaker 3: Try to go back up the round zero, get back
Speaker 3: to where I was. I don't know if I want
Speaker 3: to do it again, because just like I said, it
Speaker 3: makes you forget about everything in life.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Mean the only thing I've ever ever done side shying
Speaker 3: that to night to smoke a little bit of pot
Speaker 3: here and there. But tonight was the first. So I
Speaker 3: don't know if it should be a last or if
Speaker 3: I should go for it again. I just don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't have nobody, I really. I mean a lot
Speaker 3: of my friends are drug addicts, so it's not like
Speaker 3: I could term to them for my problems. So just
Speaker 3: with losing my job, I'm not having insurance, not like
Speaker 3: go see a therapist or anything. They're expensive by the pocket,
Speaker 3: and I don't have that kind of money.
Speaker 1: It's true, they are expensive. Okay, so you don't, all right,
Speaker 1: So what's the laundry list again. You you got divorced,
Speaker 1: your business is failing. There's a third thing. What's the
Speaker 1: third thing?
Speaker 3: Just a divorce, my business failing pretty much, just everything
Speaker 3: in life's going wrong pretty much. I forgot what the
Speaker 3: third thing was.
Speaker 1: The kids.
Speaker 3: I do not have kids.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's great. I feel like I've always felt like
Speaker 1: if unless if you have kids or go to jail,
Speaker 1: you can you can bounce act from anything. I think
Speaker 1: you can bounce back. What's your name, Rob, Rob? I
Speaker 1: think you can bounce back. I mean, if you had kids,
Speaker 1: you'd be fucked. But you don't have kids. That's great.
Speaker 1: So you're not really responsible for anyone except for yourself.
Speaker 1: That's great. I think you can bounce back, Rob, What
Speaker 1: do you What was the business? Can I ask?
Speaker 3: I was actually owning a power washing company. I was
Speaker 3: doing power washing and houses and stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, Why what happened to make it fail?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just feel like the state I live in just
Speaker 3: isn't good. Like I live in Connecticut, so it gets cold,
Speaker 3: it gets hot, you can only do it like three
Speaker 3: months four months out of the year. So I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just tried to run with an opportunity. I feel
Speaker 3: it just wasn't the right one. So I just don't
Speaker 3: know if I should try to take a different course,
Speaker 3: maybe find something else.
Speaker 1: What do you do? You have a job that you
Speaker 1: do in addition to the business, or was the business
Speaker 1: you're only income?
Speaker 3: The business was my only income?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Is there a job you could pick up while you
Speaker 1: try to start a different business.
Speaker 3: I mean, I can try, but I don't know this
Speaker 3: is gonna well, I don't think ectually. I don't know
Speaker 3: if that will affect your credibility and taking the drives.
Speaker 3: I don't even think there's a drug test anymore. It's
Speaker 3: been a while to have a job. I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I kind of hold on, hold on. Well, so if
Speaker 1: you were to find another job, what would the industry be,
Speaker 1: would be like for a different power washing company?
Speaker 3: Probably truck driving?
Speaker 4: You don't want to be a truck driver?
Speaker 1: Do they drug test for truck driving?
Speaker 3: Well, I know you got to go through your CDL.
Speaker 3: So out here, I mean, I don't know how any
Speaker 3: other stages, but I know out here in Connecticut you
Speaker 3: gotta go get a CDL. If you gotta pay for school,
Speaker 3: you got to take your class you go for school
Speaker 3: for about six months to a year, depend on what
Speaker 3: cl he's going for, and uh, you know, then it
Speaker 3: all goes from there. So I'm assuming you got to
Speaker 3: apply for a company or they help you get a
Speaker 3: job from once you're out of school and everything.
Speaker 1: All right, so it's doable.
Speaker 4: Sorry, my bad?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 3: Freaking out?
Speaker 1: It sounded like you were trying to kill a fly.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell that was. I'm just

Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Man, you know, look, I mean I'm at what I said.
Speaker 1: I really do feel like, uh, you know, obviously, it
Speaker 1: sounds it sounds like everything that's happened to you has
Speaker 1: been very It's like it sounds like it's a recent thing,
Speaker 1: all this stuff happening.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's been building up somewhere over the past year
Speaker 3: and nothing too pravam.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it sounds like and I'm not a real therapist.
Speaker 1: I'm a stupid guy in a gecko costume on the internet.
Speaker 1: But it sounds like it's all happening like right fucking now,
Speaker 1: and you're like dealing with it emotionally right fucking now.
Speaker 1: So you're like really feeling the heights of all these
Speaker 1: emotions right fucking now. And all these emotions are maybe
Speaker 1: like making you feel hopeless and whatnot. But I think
Speaker 1: if you get a little bit of rest. I think
Speaker 1: if you be a little patient and you let some
Speaker 1: time go by and you let the emotions Understandably, the
Speaker 1: emotions are very high right now. But I think if
Speaker 1: and trust me on this, if you give yourself some time,
Speaker 1: you be a little bit patient, you let the emotions
Speaker 1: cool down. I can tell. And I can tell this
Speaker 1: because you started your own business before, and not a
Speaker 1: lot of people do that. I can tell that you
Speaker 1: have a a logical, ambitious mind. I think if you
Speaker 1: let the emotions kind of simmer a little bit and
Speaker 1: then you let yourself have enough time for your head
Speaker 1: to be cleared, I think that you are the type
Speaker 1: of guy that you're going to see a nice way
Speaker 1: forward for yourself.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Thank you. And as far as your
Speaker 3: comment about stupid right though, you know, I just feel
Speaker 3: really helped. I means, you know, I think you and
Speaker 3: McDonald's a great therapist.
Speaker 1: Well thanks, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: No problem.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling right now? Do you feel like
Speaker 1: you're winding down? You're about to go to bed? Do
Speaker 1: you feel like you're staying up?
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm winding down. I think I might
Speaker 3: just put into the house and trying to go lay down.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, I need to do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, Yeah I am home on a my house.

Speaker 1: I don't know what you're thinking about anything, but get
Speaker 1: give be patient with yourself to let the emotional highs
