Speaker 3: Hello, Hi, Hi, how are you. I'm really good?

00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: How are you, Lyle? I'm doing better now that I

Speaker 2: am awake and alert.

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that made any fucking sense, but

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: what are you.

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: Doing it's us. I'm putting together an Ikea table. I'm

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: hanging out with my cat. He's turning nineteen in a

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: few weeks.

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: You guys turning nineteen? How old do cats live too?

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: That's a depressing question that asked.

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: But I'm curious, So.

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: I adopted him when he was seventeen. I read that

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: they become senior when they're twelve. The average, like expected,

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: I guess, like lifespan is fifteen. But he's just chugging along.

34
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: M okay, what what you all right? Say?

35
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 1: You got a cat that's old?

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: Well, have you have you had the cat for nineteen

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: years or did you like find him when he was

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: fifteen or so?

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: No? No, so I only adopted him about a year ago.

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: My aunt was fostering him her one of her best

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: friends runs like a foster you know, organization for cats. Yeah,

42
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: and this family abandoned the cat. He gave like a

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: bunch of weird reasons, but including like, oh well, it's

44
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: like our daughter's cat and she got into drugs or something.

45
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: And then they also said that their other cat had

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: just died and they didn't want to go through it again.

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: But then I was reading his vet records and they

48
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: were like super rich and like taking him for like

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: cat acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments and feeding him this like

50
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: raw organic turkey stuff. I don't know, it was. The

51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: whole situation was pretty weird, but overall, they just abandoned him.

52
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: And then I met him because my aunt was fostering him,

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh my god.

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: So they so they so they I Here's what I'm

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: curious about is they gave the cat up for adoption

56
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: to a foster cat place.

57
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so, oh, okay, that's not I wouldn't and

58
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: I don't.

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: I feel like that's not a bad When you say

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: a band in the cat, I thought like they put

61
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: him in the dumpsters.

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: But like if you're like, I agree, yeah, that that

63
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: I agree that makes sense. But also there's like there's

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: so many animals that need homes. It's like, you can't

65
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: take care of your own cat for like a couple

66
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: more years.

67
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: But I don't know I would, well can I And

68
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

69
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about dogs.

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: But it wouldn't it if the family knows that they

71
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: can't take good care of the cat, wouldn't it be

72
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: better for them to give up the cat to somebody

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: who can do it competently.

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: Yes, but the family was rich and they just didn't

75
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: want to watch the cat pass away.

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: Ooh, oh you know what that's made it. That is

77
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: kind of that makes a lot of sense to Yeah,

78
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: they they getting all the good parts in and then

79
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: when it's time for the cat to die, they're like,

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: let somebody else do the sad stuff.

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: Right wait here he is, he's going to say, hello,

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 3: give him me out, Sammy's he's sniffing my phone. You'll

83
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: hear him me out in a minute. But yeah, so

84
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: he's he's a little sick right now. But he's like,

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 3: my love and joy. He looks like a four year

86
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: old cat. And I'm only twenty two, so he's like,

87
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: we're only four years apart because I'm about to turn

88
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: twenty three. And so he came to college with me,

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 3: and so he was like a little celebrity. We were

90
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: calling him freshman boy living with the senior girl.

91
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: That's kind of funny that, you guys, I didn't I

92
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: didn't even realize that. Yeah, you guys are pretty close

93
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: in age. I'm sure you have a lot of Yeah,

94
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: you know, if he weren't a cat you'd probably have a.

95
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: Lot in common.

96
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, it'd be a little kenchy, he'd be like

97
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: a little barely legal, but it'd be fine.

98
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: So okay, so they pawned. They pawn the depressing stuff

99
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: off to youkud look and look, you know, say what

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: you will about it.

101
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: But that, I mean, that's kind of a smart move

102
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: on their part.

103
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so, because the only because the main

104
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: I mean that the main con of having uh, you know,

105
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: an adorable animal friend is that it will inevitably die

106
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: a slow, painful death, leaving you with tears and grief.

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: People, what if people did.

108
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: That with their family members. I guess they kind of do, Like, yeah,

109
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: that's what's hospices.

110
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: I guess I think this is like a more humane thing.

111
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: I feel like it's like nursing homes where it's like

112
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: like and I worked as an EMT for a while,

113
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: and like there's so many and I mean, like, of course,

114
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: a lot of people are in situations where they have

115
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: to like give their family members, like to a home,

116
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 3: but like, you know, like there's a lot of people

117
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: who will like keep their elderly family members alive for

118
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: a very long time, who could easily just like go

119
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: into hospice and like pass like a dignified, peaceful death,

120
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: but instead they want to keep like ninety year old

121
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 3: Papa on like e ventilator and dialysis.

122
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: Okay, wait a mate, here's okay, now you're here's the thing.

123
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: You're flipping on me here because you're you were anti

124
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: the rich people taking care of the cat and they didn't.

125
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: You were you were anti the rich people take taken

126
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 2: giving the cat away, but you're like with the person,

127
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: you should give them away to the hospice and not

128
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: take care of them. So you have opposing viewpoints for

129
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: how to you know, properly deal with an old cat

130
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: versus an old guy.

131
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: See, I feel like I don't think my points are

132
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: completely opposing, because what I'd say is, like I mean,

133
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 3: with this cat, like I'm taking care of him, but

134
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: like I'm not gonna put him through like hell with

135
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: medical treatments and everything and like chemo and shit, Like

136
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: I never do that to him, right, Like I just

137
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 3: let him like ride it out and everything. But like

138
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: since I care about him, like I'm gonna I'm gonna

139
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: watch him get sick and I'm gonna watch be there

140
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: for him and take care of him because he's my

141
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: loved one and everything. But like you know and like,

142
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: but like for a human like, I think that like

143
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: you should, you should take care of your loved ones

144
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: and everything, and you should let them like pass like

145
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: a dignified, peaceful death. But there's people who like will

146
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: pawn them off but still make their family members go

147
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: through a bunch of shit. But I guess it's different.

148
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: I guess they're different things. I think I did go

149
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 3: on a tangent with the old people's stuff.

150
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: Well, no, I took those the rich people who gave

151
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: you the cat to watch stuff, to watch suffer. They

152
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: would call you a sucker, but I don't think that's true.

153
00:07:54,040 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: I think there is dignity in watching a cat die

154
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: that somebody else raised. Here's what I was thinking. Here's

155
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: what I was thinking is have you ever seen Have

156
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: you ever seen Garfield to a Tale of Two Kiddies?

157
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: No?

158
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: Should I?

159
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: Well, I, I, well, I haven't either, but I've seen

160
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: the poster for it, and the poster seems to imply

161
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: I think the plot of that movie is I think

162
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: the plot of that movie is similar. Again, haven't seen it,

163
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: but I think it's similar to your exact situation because

164
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: it's about like a rich, aristocratic, aristocat cat who like

165
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: trades places with Garfield, who's like, you know, I guess

166
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: a a sort of middle lives a middle class existence,

167
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: and the and the rich cat now has to deal with,

168
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: you know, eating tu an ad of a can where

169
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: he was, you know, before, prepared these elegant meals and whatnot.

170
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: And this kind of remind this reminds me a little

171
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 2: bit of like the rich This was like a rich,

172
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: pampered cat and now he's like living in a college dorm,

173
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 2: you know, eating ramen with the rest of us.

174
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: I kept him, I did keep him on his bougie food.

175
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: I spoiled you cat.

176
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: Oh you did? What? How do you what kind of

177
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: bogie food does he eat? What do you kind of Jenny's?

178
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: It cost me twenty a week. It's fine. It's like

179
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: really not the end of the world. And it's got

180
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: it's made. I literally am looking at my friend right now.

181
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 3: It's raw organic turkey with like alfalfa sprouts and papayas

182
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: and almond meal and stuff. And I also the old

183
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: family also like had kept him only in one bedroom

184
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: because they would also sedate him because he like baby

185
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 3: clawed him right, so they called his claw out with

186
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: ethical right. I went through his whole of that record,

187
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: and they would sedate him in the morning because he

188
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: nibbles on your face to wake you up, and they

189
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: didn't like that. But I get this, count all toys.

190
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: He has the run of the house. Who's a college celebrity.

191
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: He had an eighteenth birthday party. We had a little

192
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: eighteenth birthday rager. And yeah, I still give him his

193
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: organic food. So Sandy is living it up.

194
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: I have a question. You said it's unethical to declaw

195
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: a cat. Do you think and a genuine question, do

196
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: you think it's unethical to neuter a dog?

197
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: Do I think it's unethical to neuter a dog? I

198
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: haven't even, like, I guess mentally gone down that rabbit hole,

199
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 3: but I don't. Maybe it's not a rabbit hole. I

200
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: guess it's like an important thing.

201
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: A dog hole.

202
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: More so, Yeah, I feel like it's not because there's

203
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: so many like dogs who like, like the whole purpose

204
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: of like neutering dogs is so that like they don't

205
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: continue to like reproduce because there's so many already like

206
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: stray dogs, Whereas like neutering a cat is like I mean,

207
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: not neutering. Declawing a cat is like taking off like

208
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 3: our fingernails.

209
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: Like I'm I feel like this whole call, I've been

210
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: arguing with you.

211
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't mean to do that.

212
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: No, that's okay. I love this.

213
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: Okay, good, okay, God, I'm glad you enjoy this, because Kyle,

214
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: I love you.

215
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: I'm just thrilled to be talking to you.

216
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled to be talking to you too. I hope

217
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: you don't think I'm being combative, but I'm all. I

218
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: am very curious because here's the thing. And I know

219
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: you say it's because you say it's unethical to declaw cat,

220
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: but it's fine to neuter a dog. If somebody, if

221
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: I had the choice between getting my fingernails clipped off

222
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: or my penis cut off, I would choose the fingernails.

223
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 3: But it's not that there. Here's the thing, though, it's

224
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: not your penis cut off. It's like getting what's it called,

225
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,359
Speaker 3: what's a vasectomy? It's a aseectomy, and like a visectomy

226
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 3: is like not that bad, right, Like you can get

227
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: that shit reversed. I don't know if dogs can get

228
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 3: it reversed. But apparently like you just need like a

229
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 3: bag of frozen teas on your ball for like the rest.

230
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 5: Of the day, where you can wait?

231
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: You can? Can you? Can you reverse neuter a dog?

232
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna google that. I'm probably gonna be put on

233
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:14,239
Speaker 2: some kind of fucking weird list of weird dog Can

234
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: you de neuter?

235
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: How do you spell neuter a dog?

236
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: Gu r T E R? I don't know, No, it

237
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 3: would be r t e R.

238
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 6: Just be t e R.

239
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm seeing Okay, can you can you de neuter

240
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: a dog? Can you un neuter a dog? Male dogs

241
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 2: cannot be unnutered. Neutering involves removing the reproductive organs entirely,

242
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: and it is irreverse however, so yeah, so it's irreverse

243
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: however of a sectomy. Of a sectomy leaves the testes

244
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: and text, so the body still has normal Yeah, apparently

245
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: they they they by the way, don't I wouldn't.

246
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.

247
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be hard on yourself for not knowing that

248
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: much about neutering a dog, because it would be it

249
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 2: would be strange if you knew a lot about neutering dogs.

250
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: So unless I was, unless you were a vet like

251
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: a human now. Now, now, here's what the clause. Can

252
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: the claws grow back?

253
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: No, No, they're permanently removed.

254
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: It's not like fingernails. They can't just move but grow back.

255
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: No, it's like they pulled them off, like like I

256
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: personally imagine it, like they pulled them out like with clyires,

257
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 3: like in the you know, like the scary movies where

258
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 3: they're torturing people like they and at least cats apparently

259
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: with like long term psychological issues. Here we go, so

260
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: like if your cat goes stray, like they can't defend themselves,

261
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: they're just kind of screwed. But it's it's literally only

262
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: so they don't scratch up your furniture.

263
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: The Humane Society says Decloine can cause paw pain, back pain, infection,

264
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: and lameness. That's weird. That just says lameness. Removing clause

265
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: improperly removed claw Apparently improperly removed clause can regrow.

266
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: Interesting.

267
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. I don't know if

268
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: that what that means exactly.

269
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: Though, but maybe they didn't like take the whole thing out.

270
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, either way, you know, I'm glad. I'm glad

271
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: as human beings. That you know, we don't have to

272
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: worry about getting new it or.

273
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: Declaud Yeah, at least not day age.

274
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: At least not in this day and age.

275
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: And you know, in a fucking we we're we're That's

276
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: a that's a privilege we have as people in America,

277
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: is that we don't have to get you know, declaude our.

278
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: God given right as Americans.

279
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: Well, let's see, we talked for about fifteen minutes about

280
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: your cat. I want to before we go, is there

281
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: anything else that you wanted to talk about? I know

282
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: that we kind of just talked about. I wasn't expecting

283
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: to talk to you about, uh, dog neutering, but you know,

284
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: I'm glad we did. Is there anything else that you

285
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: wanted to kind of talk about? I wanted to give

286
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: you the opportunity for that if something was floating around

287
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: in your brain.

288
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you. I don't have anything particularly like like

289
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: weigh on me right now that I need to talk about.

290
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: I figured out if you have any questions for like

291
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: an EMTIERR ski patroller, I can answer.

292
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 5: Those if you ever have.

293
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: You're you're a ski patroller. Yeah, have you seen a

294
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: lot of like fucked up things?

295
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah? Not too much. I've seen more fucked up things

296
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: as an EMT, not as much as a ski patroller,

297
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: but I have. I've been doing this is actually I

298
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 3: just finished my seventh year. I just volunteer. I do

299
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: twenty Yoah wait.

300
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: You finished it? How old can I ask you? Can

301
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: I ask you how old you are?

302
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

Speaker 3: I'm turning twenty three in May. But I started when

305
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,400

306
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: as a ski patroller, but you're not allowed to have

307
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: patience on your own till you're sixteen.

308
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: Dude, you're telling me I could be fuck you're telling

309
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,200

310
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: a sixteen year old.

311
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: I swear to god. I had a guy. I had

312
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: literally I was literally like seventeen, and I had a

313
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: sixteen year old who is like unconsciousness of the head injury,

314
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 3: and like it's like, y'all trust me with this stuff.

315
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Holy shit.

316
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: The protocols for like ems aren't like too hard, you know,

317
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: like to become an EMT. It's like really like it's

318
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: like a three month full time class.

319
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: So wait, so there was so there was a sixteen

320
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: year old kid with like head trauma and you were

321
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: seventeen and they sent you Yes, holy shit, So did

322
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: they just send you like you are alone?

323
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: I was the first one there and then I called,

324
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, so what the way it goes

325
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 3: at my mountain all least is they send one person

326
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 3: to check and see like what we need and to

327
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: like keep the person stable or do CPR whatever you

328
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 3: need at that moment, and then they call on the

329
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: radio for some more people or just one other. You

330
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 3: most calls you only need two people because you need

331
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: two people on the sled most of the time. But

332
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: I of course called for way more people.

333
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: Dude, if I were sixteen and they sent me to

334
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: like if I were if I were sixteen and they

335
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: sent me to like talk to like a kid who

336
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: had head trauma, I would be like, we need an adult.

337
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. It was. It was really interesting,

338
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: but it was I think the cop like being trusted

339
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: with that and like training for that at such a

340
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 3: young age like instilled me with a lot of confidence

341
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 3: that I've like carried on to have today. And it's

342
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 3: one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

343
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: I love it. There's people who like started doing it

344
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: when they were like sixteen eighteen. We have one guy

345
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: on our team who's like eighty five, and he's like

346
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: not seeing anymore, but he's still like helping run the clinic.

347
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: It's insane. People just do it forever.

348
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 5: I love it.

349
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's weird being trusted with that at a young age.

350
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be I would be.

351
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: I'd probably have a fucking heart attack and they'd have

352
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: to send three other folks.

353
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

354
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: Somebody in the chad.

355
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: Said, would you rather the seventeen year old comedy the

356
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: eighty five year old? I'd probably rather the eighty five

357
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 2: year old.

358
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: I don't know. It depends on which eighty five year old. Like,

359
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 3: we have some of these guys on our team who

360
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: are older, like I would trust with like delivering my child,

361
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: and they are not even like doctors or anything. I

362
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 3: would just let them because I'm like, I trust you.

363
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 3: It just depends on the person. I guess, yes. But

364
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: like here's the thing, like there's a medical care and

365
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: then they're getting down the mountain in this led which

366
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: quad do you trust more?

367
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

368
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: I guess that's if if we're talking about like physically

369
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: needing to trans for transfer you down a place or

370
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: up a place. You know that that would make sense. Now,

371
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: why tell me why has it been such a great

372
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: experience for you? It's like I guess you said it

373
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: gave you. It gave you the confidence to like deal

374
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: with crazy shit.

375
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and I've met some amazing people. It helped me.

376
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 3: It helps me a lot through nursing school having that background,

377
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: and I just accepted my first nursing job. I'm gonna

378
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,600

379
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: you know, just I'm kind of like, all right, well,

380
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: if I could do that as a sixteen year old,

381
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 3: I could figure anything else out.

382
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: You know, You're gonna be in a pediatric ice you.

383
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,920

00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: watch one orders for you. That shit makes me cry,

393
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 3: But like being able to help in those moments, like

394
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 3: just it doesn't bother me as much because I'm able

395
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 3: to be in control of the situation and do something

396
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: about it.

397
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 4: Mmm.

398
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: I like that.

399
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 2: I so so so you can't watch law and Orders

400
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: for you because it's like even though it's fake, you're like, oh,

401
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: I'm just a passive observer of these these horrors, but

402
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: at least you know in the ICU, You're like, oh,

403
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: this is really fucked up, but I can do something

404
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: about it, exactly.

405
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I can't stand and watch a code. I

406
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 3: have to be doing something or like tears will fall

407
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 3: down my face like it's already happened, Like I can't.

408
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 3: When I was a nursing student, like and I had

409
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: to watch a code once, I was like I can't

410
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: watch this, Like I started crying. But like if I've

411
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 3: run codes by myself, you know, since I was eighteen,

412
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: and like it's been fine.

413
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 2: You know what is what is code?

414
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 3: A code on the ambulance, it usually means like CPR

415
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 3: in progress because I did ski patrol an ambulance while

416
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: I was in nursing school. But in the hospital it

417
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 3: could be like a stroke code. It could be you know,

418
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 3: just like it depends kind of like where you are,

419
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: Like what terminology. It could be that someone's like bleeding

420
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: out and about to you know, like go into cardiac arrest,

421
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: but code usually means cardiac arrest in my experience so

422
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: far at least.

423
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: Hmm. Okay, well, you know I like this perspective because, yeah,

424
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: you're very brave to do that, because, like you know,

425
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's true, fucked up shit happens. And I've

426
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: all I've always thought about, like, you know, the people

427
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 2: who like show up at the scenes of like, you know,

428
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: crazy crazy things, and like how that must affect them.

429
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 6: You know.

430
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: But the way that you the way that you talk

431
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: about it, where you're like, I'm not as scared of

432
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: it because I know what to do and I can

433
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: actually like go in and help as opposed to just

434
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: being a like like you were talking about, kind of

435
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: a passive observer of of of these uh these codes.

436
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 7: You know.

437
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: I like that.

438
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad.

439
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: I'm glad that folks like you exist so that, you know,

440
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: when I get a paper cut someone someone's brave enough

441
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 2: to help me out and not you know, too grossed out.

442
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: Thank you man. Yeah, I don't know. It's also just exciting.

443
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 3: I mean, like a lot of people who do it,

444
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: just enjoy it a lot. It's interesting, it's fun. A

445
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 3: lot of people like the pride that comes out of it,

446
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: and I do too. But yeah, it's nice being able

447
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: to do something you just have to study outside of

448
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,800

Speaker 1: Okay, all right?

640
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: So this ended and then you kind of had this

641
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: realization that I don't know, you had like a kind

642
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: of re organization of your character. And then you decided

643
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: how long ago did you How long was it between

644
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: the end of that one and the beginning of a

645
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: new one, the one that you the real you just

646
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: broke up with?

647
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: All right?

648
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: So we and my first X we stopped talking in

649
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 4: September before her birthday because I had asked her because

650
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 4: like we're still talking for like months after we broke up,

651
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 4: like probably like nine months I think, and then we're

652
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 4: just talking like I I've probably seen her like like

653
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 4: a big handful of times. And then towards the end,

654
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 4: like we weren't really seeing each other at all, but

655
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 4: just texting like every day. Yeah, and then at the end,

656
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 4: like she was literally texting me that much. And asked

657
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 4: her if she still wanted to keep talking to me

658
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 4: or she wanted to keep trying to fix this, and

659
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 4: she just told me that she had hooked up with people, and.

660
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: I just.

661
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 4: I just stopped completely replying to everything.

662
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 2: Wait, so she so she told you she was hooking up?

663
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: So was she cheating on you?

664
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 4: Well, we weren't really together.

665
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so you were taught you were You said

666
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 2: you were with this most recent girl for five months though,

667
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 2: so you weren't really together with her.

668
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 4: But I'm confused the story.

669
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 2: I'm a little confused too. Uh maybe I wasn't listening

670
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 2: hard enough, but hm hmmm mm hmmm.

671
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 4: All right, So me and my first girlfriend we broke

672
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 4: up and we're talking for like a solid ninety months,

673
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 4: and then she told me that she hooked other people,

674
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 4: and so I just pretty much ghosted her after that,

675
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 4: and uh I pretty much met my new girlfriend like

676
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 4: a few days later.

677
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah see yeah, yeah, So so after you kind of

678
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: had this like so, you know, you had this uh

679
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 2: relationship with this uh first girl that you don't look

680
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: back on too fondly. But then instead of like taking

681
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: at least a little bit of time to process that,

682
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 2: you went straight into a new relationship.

683
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 4: Yeah I did.

684
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: Why do you well, why do you feel like you

685
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: did that?

686
00:35:58,640 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: Uh?

687
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 4: Well, because I was like lonely for those yeah yeah,

688
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 4: and well I just wasn't hanging out with anybody for thoseess,

689
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,520

692
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 4: friends rarely.

693
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 2: Mm hm hm hm.

694
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 6: M hmmm.

695
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: Well look, I mean I have a few thoughts, you know.

696
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, look, man, I feel like you

697
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: might benefit from a little bit of time just to

698
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 2: yourself too, like, uh, you know, work on yourself and

699
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 2: work on uh this loneliness because I found that, like,

700
00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 2: you know, if you if you're unhappy and lonely when

701
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: you don't have a relationship, a relationship is not really

702
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 2: gonna fix that. You know, those are kind of like,

703
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: at least in my experience, you know, I've had lots

704
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: of times like that where I was, I was really lonely,

705
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: and you know, sort of felt like a relationship was

706
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 2: the thing that was gonna, you know, make make my.

707
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: Life so much better.

708
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: And I think the pursuit of that and the obsession

709
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: over that, you know, it didn't do me any favors.

710
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: And I feel like if if you were to redirect

711
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: the the energy that you're spending really you know, trying

712
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: so hard to not be alone, to like go into

713
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: your own brain and figure out why you're doing whatever

714
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 2: it is you're doing, and uh, you know, figure out

715
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 2: more about you as a person alone attached to anyone,

716
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: you know, and however long that takes man, whether it's

717
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: you know, uh one year or five years or whatever.

718
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 2: You know, I think I think you'll come back, uh,

719
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 2: you know, a different person, a little bit better equipped

720
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: to to be in a relationship and you know, uh

721
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 2: not kind of be in this relationship because it's because

722
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 2: it's it's it's externally satisfying. You're trying to satisfy some

723
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: internal desire with something external. You know.

724
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes.

725
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 4: Sense, it does. I've been thinking about that a lot.

00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 2: it's you play as teams of three of the Sonic characters,

789
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: and each each team is comprised of a speed character,

790
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 2: a power character, and a flying character. And when I

791
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 2: was a kid and I was playing that game, I

792
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 2: would imagine, like if my friends and I were were

793
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 2: in the Sonic Heroes game, and what roles we would play.

794
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: I was always a bigger kid, so I was the

795
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 2: power even though I wasn't strong.

796
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: I was just kind of fat.

797
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: And then I'd have a friend who was fast, he'd

798
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 2: be the speed guy. And then I guess that we'd

799
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 2: pick some kid to be the fly guy, even though

800
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 2: it didn't make sense because he couldn't fly. He tried,

801
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 2: but it didn't work because it's it's all, it's all imaginary.

802
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, I like that game. I haven't play. I

803
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: haven't played really any of the Sonic games since.

804
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, neither have I, man, And to be honest, I

805
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 5: was never a huge fan of Sonic. But I was

806
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 5: just thinking about, like, you know, childhood games and stuff

807
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 5: that I used to play, and you were talking about

808
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 5: Nintendo earlier and between that, I played a lot of

809
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 5: the Lego Star Wars games too, Man, I don't know

810
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 5: if you played like Bog two trilogies or whatever. Those

811
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 5: were sut of fun. Other than that, though, Man, I

812
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 5: guess I do actually have something that just came out.

813
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 5: My best friend is moving across the country next month,

814
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 5: and I'm really bummed out about it.

815
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: Man, where are they moving to?

816
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 5: He's moving to Miami.

817
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: Okay, and where are you at?

818
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 5: I'm in Wisconsin.

819
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: What are they moving for?

820
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 5: Oh? So he just got a job for a really

821
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 5: good tech company. He graduated with a computer or he's

822
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 5: going to graduate a computer science degree this spring and yeah,

823
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 5: he's really well set up and everything, and it just

824
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 5: kind of sucks, you know, because we just got super

825
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 5: close and we listened to a lot of the same

826
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 5: music and everything, and I don't know, he's just like

827
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 5: the biggest part of my support network, i'd say, and

828
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 5: it's just kind of that sum go.

829
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: Hmm, yeah, tell me about the rest of your support network.

830
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 5: Well, that's actually another funny story because my parents, who

831
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 5: I tend to talk to you quite a bit for

832
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 5: like life advice and stuff, are actually moving out of

833
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 5: the country in May as well. So yeah, they're going

834
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 5: and then uh yeah, I don't know. I'm just trying

835
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 5: to I think the best thing for me to do

836
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,839
Speaker 5: right now is just making friends and try to kind

837
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 5: of build up a support network that way. But it

838
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 5: just kind of sucks because, you know, it was like

839
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 5: the last four years of my life, I've spent with

840
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 5: a lot of these people, and now we're all kind

841
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 5: of going our separate ways.

842
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, hmmm. I feel like, yeah, I feel like

843
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: that is a good opportunity to make new friends. Trying

844
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: to think what else that's good. That's good about your

845
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 2: parents though, because like I get it when your parents

846
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: are a big party of support system, and you don't

847
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 2: want them to leave. But there's also a part of

848
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 2: you that I think should be really happy for them

849
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 2: that they're like do and shit, you know what I'm saying.

850
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 2: Like lots of people's parents just stay. Lots of people's

851
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 2: parents have kids and then don't ever do anything else

852
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 2: again with their lives. So just a lot of them,

853
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 2: you know, do it on purpose because they like it

854
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 2: that way. But I feel like there's room for you

855
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: to be uh, you know, I guess happy for your

856
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 2: parents that they're like trying to do shit with their lives.

857
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: You know, like if my mom, if my mom told

858
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: me that she was moving out of my hometown to go,

859
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: uh you know, live in in in Taiwan for the

860
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: rest of her life, and you know, I ple plea

861
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: you know, pledge allegiance to some god that she discovered,

862
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 2: I'd be like, all right, well that's a bummer. I'm

863
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to see as often. But do you

864
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 2: you know, we're only alive for like two seconds. Might

865
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 2: as well be happy that the people we care about

866
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 2: are doing good things with their lives.

867
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 5: All right, No, absolutely, I'm really excited for them because

868
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 5: they're actually moving to an island in the Caribbean out

869
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 5: of all places. I know it's insane, but I think

870
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 5: the thing that I'm most worried about isn't even for

871
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 5: myself necessarily as far as like losing them, but for

872
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 5: my younger sister, because she's still like just kind of

873
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 5: starting college. She's about to finish her freshman year, and

874
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 5: I'll be like the closest relative to her, So if

875
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 5: something were to happen to her, you know, I'd be

876
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 5: like most responsible, which is insane to me because like,

877
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 5: I'm only twenty two.

878
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 2: So what are you afraid is going to happen to

879
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 2: your sister?

880
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 5: Man, Well, she lives in a pretty big city at

881
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 5: the moment, and I don't know. I mean, she's just

882
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 5: an eighteen year old girl living in a city kind

883
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 5: of on her own, far away from her parents. So

884
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 5: of course, you know, it's just kind of the big

885
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 5: brother part of me that kind of worries for her.

886
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 5: I don't know. I certainly hope nothing happens to her,

887
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 5: but something does. You know, it's on me basically to

888
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 5: kind of drop everything just make sure she's all right.

889
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: What is and she's in the same city as you are.

890
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 5: No, she's about i'd say, like one hundred and fifty

891
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 5: miles south.

892
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 2: Oh all right, I mean all right, so she might

893
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 2: as well live in Japan. That's like a whole other

894
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 2: place from you.

895
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty much.

896
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: All right.

897
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean if that's commendable that you have that

898
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 2: you know, instinct for her, that's nice. Yeah, I mean,

899
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: I mean, look, she's alway, was she in college?

900
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, she just started uh this past fall here, all right.

901
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 2: I mean again with this whole I feel like theme

902
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: of this conversation, like you should be excited for her.

903
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 2: She's I mean, yeah, it's probably I mean it scary

904
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 2: being you know, freshly graduating high school, moving to a

905
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 2: whole different place. But that's part of I'm glad she's

906
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: doing that instead of again, uh, you know, sitting at

907
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: home and not doing anything or challenging herself in any way.

908
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 3: You know.

909
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fair. I completely understand that too, I know.

910
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 5: And don't get me wrong, super happy for I'm just

911
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, like, if something bad were to happen

912
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 5: and beyond me, but now she's a super bright kid

913
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 5: and she'll be all right, I don't feel fear very

914
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 5: much for her at all. I think she's actually gonna

915
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 5: do uh, pretty great things.

916
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 2: I think you're a super bright kid. I think you're

917
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: going to be all right.

918
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 5: You know what you two?

919
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 3: Man?

920
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 5: I think you're doing alright.

921
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 2: Ah fucking hope, man. Goddamn what what's your name again?

922
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 5: I'm tie Ty?

923
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: What do you hope for the future?

924
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: Tie What do you? What do you want to do

925
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 2: for the rest of your existence on the earth.

926
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 5: Well, I'm about to finish my degree here, and hopefully

927
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 5: once I graduate, I want to move out of Wisconsin

928
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 5: because there's nothing here but cows and angry people. So

929
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 5: I think I'll probably move west and just try to

930
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 5: do something in either like radio broadcasting producing or do

931
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 5: you like podcast production or something like that. I really

932
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 5: like the idea of kind of audio engineering or I

933
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 5: currently have a job as a camera operator right now

934
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 5: as well, so I feel like just kind of being

935
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 5: behind the scenes on either like a podcast or like

936
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 5: any sort of like internet show or something would probably

937
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 5: be ideal for me. Once you graduating here?

938
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 2: What do you what are you on?

939
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: A camera operator for?

940
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 2: Uh?

941
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 5: So for the current university, I attend my film while

942
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:42,120

944
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,360

945
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 5: and I'm just trying to get anything I can at

946
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:50,360

Speaker 2: how to put this, but I'm excited for you.

951
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 5: I really appreciate that you have.

952
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 2: You have like you sound grounded. I don't know, I

953
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 2: don't know how to say that, but maybe I maybe

954
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: that's what I mean.

Speaker 5: really appreciate it.

957
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 2: Huh are you willing? Are you willing to kill someone

958
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 2: for your sister?

959
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 3: Uh? That?

960
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 5: Uh? You know, it wouldn't be a first option, but

961
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 5: if it came down to it, Uh, you know, I

962
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 5: feels like life or death, then I think, you know,

963
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 5: I probably.

964
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 2: Somebody your your sister is walking down the streets of

965
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 2: this big city and she accidentally bumps into somebody while

966
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 2: she's walking and the person she bought, the person that

967
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 2: pupped into her doesn't say sorry, and so she asked

968
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 2: you to kill them?

969
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: Do you do it?

970
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 3: Uh?

971
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 6: No?

972
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 5: But you know what if the person like was just

973
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 5: carrying a vat of asset on him. And you know,

974
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 5: when she brushed that guy's shoulder or whatever, and his

975
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 5: clothes were made out of assid as you know normal

976
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 5: people's clothes are. I would uh, I would probably kill

977
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 5: him then because it probably just hert my sister. But

978
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,479
Speaker 5: you know, in any case, Yeah, I haven't seen the

979
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:22,400

00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 7: me for financial help, you know, And I don't want

1002

1003
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 6: About it a little bit. But I don't want these

1004
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 6: people to come up to me and ask me, Hey,

1005
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 6: can you give me this? Can you give me that?

1006
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 6: I have plans of what I want to do with

1007
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 6: the money.

1008
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 2: Okay, so you are you sued your can you o

1009
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 2: refy for those who haven't, who have no idea what

1010
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 2: I mean, start us from the beginning with no prior

1011
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 2: knowledge of any of this.

1012
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 6: All right, So in twenty twenty, when I started working,

1013
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 6: I was making like sixteen fifty an hour. It was amazing,

1014
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 6: getting like almost one thousand dollars paychecks every two weeks.

1015
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 6: I was super happy with my job, super happy with

1016
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 6: customers and my managers and everybody. I had moved away

1017
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 6: from the state that I was living in and I

1018
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 6: started working for the company in a different state. Right

1019
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 6: when I got out here, my manager told me, she

1020
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 6: said that the guys that work at the store either

1021
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,240
Speaker 6: quit or they're fired.

1022
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 4: And I didn't know what.

1023
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 2: That meant that but those are the only two ways

1024
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 2: to not have a job to leave the job.

1025
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it was it was a primarily female staff,

1026
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 6: so it was a very small amount of guys and

1027
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 6: the staff, you know. So she said specifically, the guys

1028
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 6: either quit or are fired. So I was like confused

1029
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 6: as to like what that meant. Maybe they weren't happy

1030
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,320
Speaker 6: in the job, you know. But I understood in a

1031
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 6: few months that it's because our boss tended to drop

1032
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 6: the hours of the guys and boost the hours of

1033
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 6: the girls so that they could have more time on

1034
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 6: the floor into the store. I decided I didn't want

1035
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 6: to work at that store anymore and I wanted to transfer,

1036
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 6: so I put in a transfer request and my boss

1037
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 6: wrote me up for being late because I lived like

1038
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 6: thirty minutes away from the store. He made it impossible

1039
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 6: for me to transfer for like six months straight. So

1040
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 6: I started picking up ships at other stores around the area.

1041
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 6: And then eventually when he caught onto that, he called

1042
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 6: those stores and told them not to let me work, okay,

1043
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 6: And I was very upse this because I was like,

1044
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 6: why aren't you letting me work? You know, this is

1045
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 6: a fair And then when I brought it up to him,

1046
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 6: he fired me and he told corporate he lied to corporate.

1047
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 6: He called corporate and lied to them and said that

1048
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 6: I was offering customers drugs in the drive through to

1049
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 6: get me fired after months of me complaining that I

1050
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 6: wasn't getting enough hours and everything. And I had to

1051
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 6: have no complaints from anybody at the store, no customers,

1052
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 6: no managers, no coworkers. You know, it was just him.

1053
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 6: So now that I'm suing them, my attorney had us

1054
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 6: set up a specific amount of money that I want,

1055
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 6: and the money that I said was eighty thousand. I

1056
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 6: don't know if I'm going to get that exact amount.

1057
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,760
Speaker 6: I'm okay if I get less, if I get more, great,

1058
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 6: If I get that amount, amazing, you know. But I

1059
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 6: feel like when that money comes in, people are going

1060
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 6: to start hitting me up, asking me for money, asking

1061
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 6: me for help with different things.

1062
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 2: Okay, so let me stop you right there. For so

1063
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 2: we are severely putting our cart before the horse here.

1064
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 2: You don't even have this money, and it's not even

1065
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 2: a guarantee that you will win this case at all.

1066
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's pretty much guaranteed because they is

1067
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 6: a company that doesn't want to go to court, so

1068
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 6: they're more likely my attorney told me this that he's

1069
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,760
Speaker 6: worked with a lot of cases against the path. Okay,

1070
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 6: he says that they're a company that always wants to

1071
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 6: settle out of court. If they can do anything to

1072
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 6: get this case done and over with as quick as possible,

1073
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 6: they will do it.

1074
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 2: So okay, So he says, why, I have a few questions,

1075
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 2: Why do you why do you think your boss was

1076
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 2: antagonizing you so much for no reason?

1077
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 6: I honestly don't know. I mean I've I've brought I've

1078
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 6: tried to like bring it up to my coworkers about it,

1079
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 6: and they've all said that he's always had something against

1080
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 6: the guys in the store for no reason at all, seemingly.

1081
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 6: But I think that the final straw of the the

1082
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 6: the you know, me being antagonized at work is him

1083
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 6: telling corporate that I was offering customers.

1084
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 2: Drugs And that's just a total out of your way

1085
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 2: to to get that happened. I mean, that's just a total,

1086
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 2: complete straight lie.

1087
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: Yes, fucking weird man.

1088
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 2: You don't have any idea why this guy doesn't like you, like,

1089
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 2: like that much enough to lie like that.

1090
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 6: No, I don't know. I mean, maybe me being laid

1091
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 6: a couple of times. But that doesn't really I don't

1092
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 6: think that's grounds.

1093
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 2: You know, he's probably was he I mean, he's probably

1094
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 2: just a sad guy.

1095
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 4: I maybe.

1096
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 2: Bizarre.

1097
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1098
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 2: By the way, okay, listen, what do I think. I

1099
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 2: think if your friend asks you for ten thousand dollars

1100
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 2: you say.

1101
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 6: No, Yeah, that's that sounds like a good idea.

1102
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 2: Are you really, like, I mean, are you Are you

1103
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 2: really that concerned with your friends and family ask you

1104
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 2: for money? Like what I mean, what kind of people

1105
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 2: are in your circle so much that this is like

1106
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: a very serious, you know, thing that you're nervous about.

1107
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 6: I mean, I've known a lot of people that I

1108
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 6: fear would be this way with money. And I've had

1109
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 6: I've had people that I've had to like stop talking

1110
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 6: to because because they've asked for things that I cannot

1111
00:58:55,960 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 6: provide them. You know, people some people asking me texting me,

1112
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 6: hey do you have cash? App I'm broke, I need

1113
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 6: money this and nut. I don't want to give people money,

1114
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 6: you know, I'm just trying to pay the.

1115
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 2: Well, you don't have to. And by the way, you know,

1116
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 2: I mean, like, yeah, you don't have to give people

1117
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 2: money if you don't want to give them money, man.

1118
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 2: And also, you know, I'm going to challenge you for this,

1119
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 2: all right. Look, hey, look if somebody is asking if

1120
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 2: somebody hears that you got a whatever thing and they

1121
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 2: start asking you for a bunch of money and you

1122
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 2: thought they were your friends, I'm gonna challenge you. Look

1123
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 2: at it as a good thing, all right, because it

1124
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 2: reveals you know about things about.

1125
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 4: The people that you're close with.

1126
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 2: It reveals the things about the people that you're close with.

1127
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 2: So in that sense, it can be a blessing, right

1128
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 2: because you you now have more information about the people

1129
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 2: that you you hold close and that can sometimes be positive.

1130
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 4: For sure.

1131
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 6: And you know what, people, my best friend, he's told

1132
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 6: me multiple times, I mean jokingly, he's told me that, oh,

1133
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 6: I'm gonna leach off of you now. But I know

1134
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 6: ha ha.

1135
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, oh, yeah, might actually be joking.

1136
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I don't want him to do that. I've

1137
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 6: known him for the past seven years. You know, I

1138
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 6: don't think he's that type of person. I strongly believe

1139
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 6: that he's not that type of person. But in the

1140
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 6: back of my mind there's that fear that he might

1141
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 6: be serious about that.

1142
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Here's what you do.

1143
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 2: If somebody ask you for money, you go, I earned

1144
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 2: this money by selling drugs out of it, and if

1145
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 2: you want eighty thousand dollars you can go and do

1146
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 2: the same thing.

1147
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 6: It's a pretty damn good advice.

1148
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 5: Gick.

1149
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, Andrew, Well, thanks for calling man. I hope

1150
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 2: you get all your money, and I hope that you

1151
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 2: and your friends go have you know, fun, pinball pool

1152
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 2: parties with it. So anything else do you want to

1153
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,439
Speaker 2: say to the people of the computer before we go.

1154
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 6: Well, I hope you have a good day chat. I

1155
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 6: have to take out the trash. But don't let money

1156
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 6: change you if you ever get any.

1157
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 2: Take care, man, take care gek. They say money does

1158
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 2: not change a person, it merely reveals them. But I

1159
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 2: don't know if that's true, because if you get a

1160
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 2: really cool car, then maybe you'll be happier. That's how

1161
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 2: life works. I've learned that that's how the more the

1162
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 2: more stuff you can accumulate, the happier you will be.

1163
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 2: This is proven by many psychologists on the line calls

1164
01:01:53,320 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 2: every nine teaching you can expect
