Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, is this Lyle?
Speaker 2: Who is this?
Speaker 3: This is Tristan.
Speaker 2: Tristan.
Speaker 4: How are you doing?
Speaker 2: Tristan? Yes, take me off a speakerphone.
Speaker 4: You are not on speakerphone.
Speaker 2: But I was on a headset.
Speaker 4: Different spot mine headset not at all. Her phone is
Speaker 4: to the head phones.
Speaker 2: To the head yep. Okay now and then your phone
Speaker 2: explodes and it kills you like it's seen from a
Speaker 2: grand theft out of five. Yeah. Anyway, Well, Tristan, what's
Speaker 2: going on? How's life?
Speaker 4: It's it's been interesting? How about yourself?
Speaker 2: Who cares about me? Why has your life been interesting?
Speaker 4: Okay, So what I texted you was about my ex
Speaker 4: fiance's secret life. I met her like September twenty twenty two,
Speaker 4: and apparently she met another dude around the same time,
Speaker 4: and she was going back and forth between him and I,
Speaker 4: and she got pregnant like within a month of you know,
Speaker 4: me meeting her. So I thought, not knowing this other guy,
Speaker 4: that that kid was mine, right, So supported her through
Speaker 4: all of the pregnancy through you know, all of seven
Speaker 4: months until I found out that kid wasn't mine through
Speaker 4: a fraternity thus, and after that I was kind of
Speaker 4: like doing some digging around trying to find some answers
Speaker 4: because nothing was really adding up. One over two is
Speaker 4: her grandmother's house. And they told me about this other guy.
Speaker 4: How she would tell them that, you know, he's the father,
Speaker 4: but I know him. I couldn't have kids if I
Speaker 4: wanted to raise her kid as my own. It's a yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a fun story.
Speaker 2: So you knew this woman for a month and then
Speaker 2: she got.
Speaker 3: Pregnant, Yeah, a little bit over a month.
Speaker 1: I had to meet her through tender.
Speaker 2: Through tender, and you thought the kid was yours? And
Speaker 2: when did you find out it wasn't.
Speaker 4: I found out February fifteenth of this year.
Speaker 2: How long was that after you had met?
Speaker 4: So I met her in twenty twenty two, so just
Speaker 4: about two years. The baby was seven months old, and
Speaker 4: I didn't have a job at the time that I
Speaker 4: met her, So I went around looking for a job.
Speaker 4: I'm like, Okay, if I'm going to have this kid,
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to, you know, be be able
Speaker 4: to support both of them. And so I got a
Speaker 4: job at Taco Bell worked my way up. Within eight months,
Speaker 4: I was the regional manager. I took over that store
Speaker 4: that I, you know, started working at, and then got
Speaker 4: a job with the county. So I'm working for the
Speaker 4: county now, and some things weren't adding up. Some things
Speaker 4: just made me question. So behind her back, I did
Speaker 4: one of those like DNA swabs and sent it in.
Speaker 4: I got the results fifteenth of February, and I didn't
Speaker 4: know what to do about it. So I kind of
Speaker 4: got the results. I looked at him, went back and
Speaker 4: you know, I was just looking at the baby, then
Speaker 4: looking at her. She knew something was off, so she
Speaker 4: ended up going through my phone while I was sleeping
Speaker 4: and saw the DNA test. And when I woke up,
Speaker 4: she was gone. She took the ring and stole my forerunner.
Speaker 2: Damn. So you raised this kid. So you meet a
Speaker 2: woman on tender, you have this crazy accident pregnancy, you
Speaker 2: step the fuck up, You go, I'm gonna raise this kid.
Speaker 2: You have the kid, the kid's seven months old. You
Speaker 2: find out it's not yours. Am I recapping this correctly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the same night she was gone.
Speaker 3: I woke up.
Speaker 2: Was the kid leave the kid? Did you take the kid?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: She took the kid?
Speaker 2: Fucking damn? So what ah man? And this was this
Speaker 2: was too.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, seeing the results, I felt like, you know,
Speaker 4: I lost child, Like I didn't know how to kind
Speaker 4: of react, and I didn't want to just blow up
Speaker 4: on her, so I kind of just wanted to sit
Speaker 4: with that information for a minute before I did anything
Speaker 4: about it. And she knew something was wrong, so she
Speaker 4: went through my phone and you know, changed the pass
Speaker 4: code on my phone, so I had to like factory
Speaker 4: reset it, and I lost all my photos and you
Speaker 4: know a bunch of important things that I need. But
Speaker 4: you know, that's kind of a small inconvenience compared to
Speaker 4: everything else. But on top of already feeling like I
Speaker 4: just lost a child, they were gone and there were
Speaker 4: no answers, there were no you know, nothing added up.
Speaker 4: So you know, I did some detective detective work. I
Speaker 4: found out who the actual father was, and he and
Speaker 4: I right now seemed to be doing okay, like we're friends,
Speaker 4: we're talking about it. We kind of have a very
Speaker 4: similar experience with this woman. And right now I'm just
Speaker 4: trying to get my name off the baby's birth certificate,
Speaker 4: so like I'm not you know, having to pay child's
Speaker 4: port or whatever for a child that's not mine and
Speaker 4: kind of just move on with my life.
Speaker 2: So you and this kid's father became friends.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I talked to him last night actually about
Speaker 4: what uh well, we talked about different like experiences that
Speaker 4: we had with her, like how we met everything like that.
Speaker 4: My attorney is actually trying to attach him on the
Speaker 4: like whole court situation so he can sign like, Okay,
Speaker 4: if I get a paternity test and I'm the actual father,
Speaker 4: then I'll step up and be that baby's father, you know.
Speaker 4: So we're just trying to figure out how to go
Speaker 4: about doing all all this and potentially get him full
Speaker 4: custody of the child because she's very clearly not someone
Speaker 4: that should be raising a child right now.
Speaker 2: So what's his deal with her? Like how did this even?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Uh how, what's what's his story with her?
Speaker 4: It's like eerily similar. We met her around the same
Speaker 4: time September. I don't know if I met her first
Speaker 4: or how that went. Who met her first, but you know,
Speaker 4: met on tender, talked it up. Things are going well,
Speaker 4: and she got pregnant, like very very soon into both
Speaker 4: of us talking to her, and you know, he did
Speaker 4: the same thing I did, stepped up, was like, shit,
Speaker 4: I don't have a job right now. I need to
Speaker 4: figure out Okay, what am I gonna do? What's the
Speaker 4: best way to raise this child? So he got a job,
Speaker 4: he you know, worked his ass off, supported her as
Speaker 4: I supported her. So she later I found out and
Speaker 4: found like different jewelry and stuff like that. It's, yeah,
Speaker 4: very similar to what I went through.
Speaker 2: So was he. So he was still having a relationship
Speaker 2: with her throughout the whole time that you were.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah. So her family is about like forty
Speaker 4: minutes an hour away, and she would want to go
Speaker 4: and visit them. So I let her borrow my truck
Speaker 4: drive down to visit her family while I went to work,
Speaker 4: and sure enough she was going to see him. Like
Speaker 4: June of last year, she convinced me to let her
Speaker 4: take my truck to Santa Cruz to do like this
Speaker 4: camping trip with her friend, like this guy. But I
Speaker 4: always thought that they were just close friends, you know,
Speaker 4: And apparently the tent that I bought her to use
Speaker 4: because she was pregnant, they you know, did their business
Speaker 4: in the tent, and you know, they were still a
Speaker 4: thing all the way up until October of last year
Speaker 4: while her and I were together. So she just would
Speaker 4: go back and forth and you know, tell this part
Speaker 4: of her family like, oh, he's the father, and then
Speaker 4: the other part of the family like he's not the father,
Speaker 4: but he doesn't want to talk about it, just you know,
Speaker 4: don't bring it up. He knows he's not the father,
Speaker 4: but he wants to raise the child like it's his
Speaker 4: because he can't have kids, which I can.
Speaker 1: He's just manipulous, And so was she when the baby
Speaker 1: was born.
Speaker 2: How'd that work? Like was this other guy like in like,
Speaker 2: how the fuck? How the fuck did she keep this
Speaker 2: charade going once the baby was born.
Speaker 4: So when the baby was born, I was with her
Speaker 4: and I stayed up holding her hand and helping her
Speaker 4: get the epidural, stayed up all the way like through
Speaker 4: like four in the morning. Her water broke four forty
Speaker 4: the baby was already out, like it was a very fast,
Speaker 4: like crazy birth. And after things calmed down, I fell asleep.
Speaker 4: And after I fall asleep, she actually called the actual
Speaker 4: father was like, hey, I'm sorry the I didn't have
Speaker 4: time to warn you and let you know about coming
Speaker 4: to the hospital, but your daughter's here. And I was
Speaker 4: literally five feet from her just to sleep.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: And she watched me sign the voluntary declaration of parenthood
Speaker 4: that the fathers do.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: And in the state of California, it's incredibly difficult to
Speaker 4: nullify that signature because they don't want those children to
Speaker 4: become wards of the state. So like, even if you're
Speaker 4: not the actual father and later on it, you know,
Speaker 4: you find out if you sign that, it's incredibly difficult
Speaker 4: to you know, take it to court and get it
Speaker 4: to be taken off unless you actually know the father
Speaker 4: and he's willing to step up. That's why I, you know,
Speaker 4: became friends with the actual father because he seems like
Speaker 4: a chill dude. And you know, we just got played
Speaker 4: by a woman.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's such a I can't even begin
Speaker 2: to understand how she was able to keep this charade
Speaker 2: up while being right, because like even like you know,
Speaker 2: trying to have like two boyfriends at once is it
Speaker 2: sounds like a complicated fucking thing. But to do it
Speaker 2: while you're pregnant and both of them think they're the father,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how that fuck to even do.
Speaker 4: That, which unfortunately I don't even know if it was
Speaker 4: only the two of us, right, you know, there's possible
Speaker 4: there was more. And I was working twelve hour plus
Speaker 4: shifts that I was working my ass off the moment
Speaker 4: I would get home. Like I, I was tired. I
Speaker 4: got to a point where I couldn't keep fighting and
Speaker 4: pushing for answers because she would throw in just enough
Speaker 4: truth and make it provable, but still be a lie.
Speaker 4: So she was very good. She's a callin artist like her.
Speaker 4: Her family is just the same. Like her little sister
Speaker 4: ended up moving in with us because her grandmother kicked
Speaker 4: her out, which later I found out they planned it.
Speaker 4: They you know, lied to the grandmother and she got
Speaker 4: custody of her little sister. But I've looked into that
Speaker 4: girl's eyes, and I honestly saw all evil. I I
Speaker 4: just fought and fought to keep pushing, and she would
Speaker 4: threaten to leave and like go to her mom's in Modesto,
Speaker 4: and I didn't want to not be a part of
Speaker 4: my child's life, so I just kind of caved. And
Speaker 4: you know, at a certain point, I was too tired
Speaker 4: to keep fighting and I was just getting walked over.
Speaker 2: So do we know where she is and where that
Speaker 2: kid is?
Speaker 4: Yes? Yeah, I actually went down. My attorney told me,
Speaker 4: if you know where the Forerunner is, just go and
Speaker 4: get it. And I drove down there after work one day,
Speaker 4: hopped into it, throve started driving. They ran out of
Speaker 4: the apartment and like climbed on top of it. She
Speaker 4: was current, like in the middle of this, bashing the window,
Speaker 4: trying to break it with the keys, and they wouldn't
Speaker 4: get off the car. So the cops were called. They came.
Speaker 4: I showed them like, hey, my attorney told me to
Speaker 4: get my car back, and so the cops called Triple
Speaker 4: A for me and helped me tell it back home.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I've been through quite a lot of craziness.
Speaker 2: And okay, so you got to get your car from
Speaker 2: this woman. And then your buddy, your new friend, he's
Speaker 2: gonna get his kid. What's up with that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Our court day is September, and you know part
Speaker 4: of that is, okay, we need a court mandated paternity test,
Speaker 4: so that'll be done for both of us for the baby.
Speaker 4: That'll prove that I'm not the father, and you know,
Speaker 4: find out if he truly is the father.
Speaker 2: Right, does he even know? That's not like a third guy?
Speaker 3: We don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, how old are you man?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm twenty five.
Speaker 2: Twenty five, jeez, And this has been you're doing and
Speaker 2: this is this whole newsy's been going on for two
Speaker 2: years almost something like.
Speaker 4: That from since I've known her, but you know the
Speaker 4: crazy extra crazy stuff I guess has been since February.
Speaker 2: Hmmm. So okay, I gotta ask you this, Like you
Speaker 2: and this guy like it is here boy, now, you
Speaker 2: guys ever like hang out and just like get high
Speaker 2: and play Fortnite, Like what's up?
Speaker 4: We've been trying to set up a time to meet up.
Speaker 4: He's he's a bit far away because he was kind
Speaker 4: of in that side of her life. But we're trying
Speaker 4: to said something up, hopefully next week to finally meet
Speaker 4: in person. But like when I got the Forerunner and
Speaker 4: they were loading it up on the on like tow truck,
Speaker 4: I called him and I was telling him what happened,
Speaker 4: and he's like, yeah, fuck her, dude, Yeah, like all
Speaker 4: this stuff. So you know, he's on my side.
Speaker 2: Man, that'd be cool if you guys became like good boys,
Speaker 2: you know, playing a trip to Vegas together hung out.
Speaker 4: I can honestly highly see that, Like he's chill, genuine dude.
Speaker 2: So m hmm, So what's next for you?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: How the fuck? Uh uh? What do you have any
Speaker 2: do you have anything positive and good planned for your life.
Speaker 4: I'm signing a trip to the Philippines next year. I
Speaker 4: have a nice job. Now I'm happy you can send
Speaker 4: kind of work, more experience, and then move on to
Speaker 4: a better paying job. But you know where I'm at
Speaker 4: right now, I'm pretty good. Like it was, it was
Speaker 4: a weight lifted off my shoulder, Like I I wasn't
Speaker 4: ready to have a kid, and I especially wasn't ready
Speaker 4: to be with this person. But you know, I proposed
Speaker 4: because I thought that kid was mine and just trying
Speaker 4: to do everything right. But now I can focus on myself.
Speaker 2: That's wonderful. Man, that's really great. I mean, I'm sorry
Speaker 2: that uh it's that's such a wit. That's got to
Speaker 2: be such a weird, crazy feeling. Yeah, it really must
Speaker 2: be like losing a child, but in this weird way
Speaker 2: where you know, like you like you were saying like
Speaker 2: you weren't even really ready and but you know, you
Speaker 2: stepped up and then you find out the kid's not yours,
Speaker 2: and it's really painful, but it's also a weird relief,
Speaker 2: you know, because now you get to go to Philippines,
Speaker 2: you get to live your own life. It sounds like
Speaker 2: you've recovered well from this this crazy thing.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's still mentally fucks with me, but you know,
Speaker 4: it's kind of I'm doing what I can about it
Speaker 4: and everything else that I can't do anything about it.
Speaker 4: I just kind of have to let go, like it
Speaker 4: doesn't affect anyone else but myself to have, you know,
Speaker 4: hatred in my heart for that or anything else. So
Speaker 4: just kind of accepted and move on, try to make
Speaker 4: the best of it.
Speaker 1: What's your name again, I'm Tristan.
Speaker 2: You're good fucking dude, Tristan.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Really a lot of characters. Yeah, it has been a
Speaker 2: real quest. I mean, this is a crazy, crazy thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, if this happened to me, it would drive
Speaker 2: me completely insane. And you, I mean, I'm sure it
Speaker 2: did drive you completely insane, and maybe it took a
Speaker 2: little while, but you seem like you get a a
Speaker 2: decent head on your shoulders still after everything.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's so much more like on top of it,
Speaker 4: but I tried to just kind of lay out a
Speaker 4: base foundation of that shit show. But yeah, that's honestly,
Speaker 4: like I thought about drinking and I kind of did
Speaker 4: a little bit afterward, went like drink for like a
Speaker 4: week and was like, this isn't helping, this isn't doing anything.
Speaker 4: I don't smoke weed, I don't, you know, do drugs.
Speaker 4: I work for the county, Like I can't do any
Speaker 4: of that stuff, So I basically only have alcohol and
Speaker 4: I just don't get anything out of that. I've always
Speaker 4: been in the dirt by and kind of through the relationship.
Speaker 4: I was taking care of her. She was on bed rest,
Speaker 4: and you know, I kind of lost all my hobbies.
Speaker 4: It was taken care of two children, and then when
Speaker 4: her sister came three, so I kind of would work.
Speaker 4: I would get home, make dinner, clean the house. They
Speaker 4: wouldn't do anything. They would just be on their phones
Speaker 4: and you know, doing whatever while I took the baby.
Speaker 4: After I got home, made dinner for everyone. I was
Speaker 4: kind of just doing it all. So I didn't have
Speaker 4: time for any hobbies. But like, I learned how to
Speaker 4: ride a dirt bike when I was two years old,
Speaker 4: so A bought a YZ four P fifty and just
Speaker 4: going out to Prairie City doing my thing.
Speaker 2: Would you ever have a kid of your own with
Speaker 2: a sane person?
Speaker 4: I was, oh, God, with the same person.
Speaker 2: No, No, no, oh, I said, with a sane person.
Speaker 4: Oh, with the sane person. M. I've genuinely looked into
Speaker 4: like respectomies and honestly, if I never had a kid,
Speaker 4: I'm okay with that, Like it was rewarding to you know,
Speaker 4: see the progression, change those diapers and you know, really
Speaker 4: be there for that child. But you know that kind
Speaker 4: of thing where people talk about like the moment I
Speaker 4: saw my child, just the amount of love in my
Speaker 4: heart changed, Like I didn't know what love was before
Speaker 4: I met my child. That didn't happen for me, and
Speaker 4: maybe it will for when you know it's the same
Speaker 4: person and I know that's my kid, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, Tristan, look man, you've been through a crazy roller
Speaker 2: coaster and you've you've it's like it's you. You truly
Speaker 2: are that whole thing of no good deed goes unpunished.
Speaker 2: So uh, my brother, enjoy the enjoy the motorbiking. Motorbiking, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: enjoy the motorbiking, enjoy the Philippines. Enjoy whatever the fuck
Speaker 2: you want to do with your life.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're you're a young single guy with no
Speaker 2: kids in a remote job. Go crazy, kind of what.
Speaker 4: I'm doing, just finding myself again and making the best
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 2: Is there anything else that you want to say to
Speaker 2: the people of the computer or that you want to
Speaker 2: just talk about it in general before we go.
Speaker 4: I do want to appreciate you, you know, calling me
Speaker 4: up and letting me have some kind of way to
Speaker 4: talk about this, like I don't, yeah, don't really talk
Speaker 4: about this with my friends or you know, haven't gotten
Speaker 4: the actual therapist or anything like that.
Speaker 2: So there a reason? Is there a reason you avoid
Speaker 2: talking about this with your friends?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's my close friends. They were like when I
Speaker 4: told them the kid was in mine, They're like, I
Speaker 4: fucking called it. So they're not They're helpful, they absolutely are,
Speaker 4: like it, we joke about shit, we have a dark
Speaker 4: sense of humor. But they're not someone that I would
Speaker 4: go to and be like, hey, I feel empty inside,
Speaker 4: or you know anything deep like that. So that's why
Speaker 4: I don't really talk to them about it.
Speaker 2: Do you feel empty inside?
Speaker 4: No? Not really, I think honestly I was. I was
Speaker 4: depressed and not not exactly happy when I was with her,
Speaker 4: and now that I'm kind of free again and I'm
Speaker 4: doing all these different things to get back to being me.
Speaker 3: I feel good.
Speaker 2: That's wonderful. Man. Look, you know, I appreciate you coming
Speaker 2: on here and telling your story. I'm inspired by the
Speaker 2: great perspective that you have on all of this, and
Speaker 2: I wish you the best of luck and be careful.
Speaker 2: In the Philippines, I just got back from Thailand and
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't realize that it is one hundred
Speaker 2: degrees all the time in that area of the world.
Speaker 2: So you know, packishia oh yeah.
Speaker 4: And humid, oh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm from I grew up in Arizona, so that the
Speaker 4: day I left and moved to California, it was one
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty six degrees. But that's just to Rai heat.
Speaker 4: It's not like Texas where it's super hot and humid.
Speaker 2: But it's fun. It's cool, man. One thing, yeah, please, I.
Speaker 4: Bet I will hit me. To all the people expecting
Speaker 4: a child, you know, heavily, think about doing a paternity
Speaker 4: test before you sign anything. I know in Tennessee they
Speaker 4: now made it a federal crime for a paternity fraud,
Speaker 4: which is what I went through. Just you know, have
Speaker 4: that conversation with your partner like, hey, you know, it
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with you, which is kind of
Speaker 4: a secondary thing, Like I want to make sure, without
Speaker 4: any doubt, highly suggested, you.
Speaker 2: Know, take care of Tristan.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Yeah, take care of law.
Speaker 2: That was a fascinating phone call, man. You know that
Speaker 2: phone call actually reminded me of something that I wanted
Speaker 2: to take the chance to talk about on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Just real quick, I thought of I've been thinking about
Speaker 2: this recently. So a question I get asked a lot
Speaker 2: that I kind of previously hadn't had a good answer for.
Speaker 2: I kind of came up with my answer, or at
Speaker 2: least one of my answers. People will ask me a lot,
Speaker 2: like what have I learned from doing this? From talking
Speaker 2: to all these people like on the street and on
Speaker 2: the podcast and all that. And I've probably learned a
Speaker 2: lot of things that I haven't quite yet figured out.
Speaker 2: But one thing that I know I've I've learned from
Speaker 2: talking to all these people, truly is that, like fucking
Speaker 2: life is like a matter of perspective, right, because like,
Speaker 2: look at this fucking guy that we just talked to.
Speaker 2: This guy went through a crazy roller coaster of emotions
Speaker 2: that for a lot of people could have spent the
Speaker 2: rest of their life, dwelling on and letting it fuck
Speaker 2: them up, and letting it make them depressed and fearful
Speaker 2: and distrusting and sad for a long time. Right. But
Speaker 2: this guy, Tristan, I mean, he's just he's a good
Speaker 2: fucking guy. And at the end of all this where
Speaker 2: he is right now, he's got a great perspect on
Speaker 2: his life and he's taking advantage of it. And he's
Speaker 2: he's not sitting here like you know, oh, I'll never
Speaker 2: trust anyone and again, I'll never do anything again. You
Speaker 2: know this, this just fucks me up. He's he's got
Speaker 2: a really good perspective and so he's happy and he's
Speaker 2: not empty inside, and he's not he's he's able to
Speaker 2: recover because of his perspective, you know. And that's what
Speaker 2: I've learned from talking to a lot of callers, Because
Speaker 2: some people will call in and talk about the most
Speaker 2: fucked up shit, Like remember that guy who blew his
Speaker 2: fucking arm off, you know, two weeks before he had
Speaker 2: called me. He was I mean, he wasn't all great,
Speaker 2: but he was chilling, joking arounds. You know. Some people
Speaker 2: will just call and talk about these crazy fucking life
Speaker 2: situations that they've been in and they get through it,
Speaker 2: they get over it because they internally have an optimistic,
Speaker 2: positive perspective, and then other people will be like, you know,
Speaker 2: my other people will be like, you know, I lost
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars investing into bitcoin in my life is
Speaker 2: completely decimated and I'll never be happy again. Right. So
Speaker 2: that's one of That's just something I wanted to say,
Speaker 2: is and I think about it with my own life too,
Speaker 2: because you know, you know, I get to live a
Speaker 2: cool life doing this stuff, but you know, I also
Speaker 2: I get I get I get horribly depressed all the time,
Speaker 2: and I'm you know, I talked about this a little
Speaker 2: bit in a previous podcast with that guy Mike. It's like,
Speaker 2: how much of this ship is is external life events
Speaker 2: versus just what you make of it in your own head.
Speaker 2: And I don't have a fine I don't have a
Speaker 2: final answer to that question. I'm still figuring all of
Speaker 2: that out as both my internal brain chemistry and perspective shift,
Speaker 2: as well as the external realities of my life. I'm
Speaker 2: still arriving at and answer that question. But I just
Speaker 2: want to say that's one of the things I've learned
Speaker 2: from talking to all these people. Is that. Uh, it's
Speaker 2: it's crazy important what your brain decides to make of
Speaker 2: your situation, more so even than the situation itself. But yeah,
Speaker 2: good luck, Tristan. Don't uh, I don't know. Don't don't
Speaker 2: die in a motorcycle accident. I feel like I jinxed you.
Speaker 2: If you if I feel like if now, I feel like,
Speaker 2: if you die in a motorcycle accident, it's my fault.
Speaker 2: But you're that's not gonna happen to you because God
Speaker 2: is good and he will protect you. Tristan, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true. I'm sorry. Good luck, Tristan. Hey, Lyle, Hey,
Speaker 2: what's your name?
Speaker 3: My name is Rocky Rocky.
Speaker 2: Is it your real name or does someone give you
Speaker 2: that name?
Speaker 3: Uh, it's kind of a nickname that my friends know
Speaker 3: me by. It's not my real name.
Speaker 2: How'd you get the name Rocky?
Speaker 3: My name kind of sounds like a sap and so
Speaker 3: then it the nickname turned in asap Rocky the Rapper,
Speaker 3: and then my friends just shortened it to Rocky.
Speaker 2: What what's your real name? I mean, you don't have
Speaker 2: to tell me, but you can.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty unique real name, so I prefer not
Speaker 3: to disclose it.
Speaker 2: I bet it's ASoP.
Speaker 3: One might think that.
Speaker 2: Because you said it was pretty close to a SAP.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. Do you think people are gonna be
Speaker 2: able to identify you now so you don't want to
Speaker 2: talk about on here?
Speaker 3: No, it's probably fine. I haven't. I don't have anything
Speaker 3: like incriminating to talk about.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, what's up, man? What's going on? A A sap? Rocky,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna call you. I'm gonna call you a Dan.
Speaker 2: I've realized this. I don't I can just call people.
Speaker 2: I don't. I think it's okay because this whole thing,
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be anonymous anyway. So because I have
Speaker 2: this whole thing where I forget everyone's name, But why
Speaker 2: is that? Even Matt? I would rather like, don't even
Speaker 2: tell me your name. I only use the name something
Speaker 2: to identify you by. So why don't I just assign
Speaker 2: everybody a name instead of asking for their names? And
Speaker 2: then we can do our anonymous phone call thing and
Speaker 2: not have to deal with, you know, the bullshit of names.
Speaker 3: You know. That's a that's a good point.
Speaker 2: It's a good point.
Speaker 3: You could start doing that from now on.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna do. Oh yeah, Actually I like
Speaker 2: the name Rocky. I'll call you that Rocky. What's up?
Speaker 2: What do you want to talk about?
Speaker 3: So, I mean I took to you a couple of things.
Speaker 3: One was that, uh me and my roommates have a
Speaker 3: nine to eleven themed gambling machine where the jackpot is
Speaker 3: you blow up Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden where'd
Speaker 3: you get and that's we got it for free on

Speaker 3: which is like the best part.
Speaker 2: You have a picture of it. Yeah, texts to be
Speaker 2: texted to the number.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you find it on the side of the.
Speaker 2: Road, So what the jack So it's a slot machine
Speaker 2: and if you what's on the slots, it's like if
Speaker 2: you get two, if you get three Osama bin Laden
Speaker 2: heads in a row, it blows up. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it'll it'll put up like a bomb.
Speaker 3: And then it's like Saddam has in or some have
Speaker 3: been laden next to it. They blow up like it's
Speaker 3: an exaggerated animation. Their eyeballs come out and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Oh so this is like.

Speaker 2: people are listening to this in their cars right now
Speaker 2: and they're like, what the fuck I'm watching? I'm listening

Speaker 2: and like this is kind of like like you know,
Speaker 2: when you're in a room with another person and that
Speaker 2: other person's trying to find a video on YouTube. Yeah,

Speaker 2: no fucking video of it. Oh you know what it is.
Speaker 2: It's just the it's just a chip. It's not even
Speaker 2: the Okay, here we go anyway, all right, it says
Speaker 2: here you have seventy drinks a week and your roommates
Speaker 2: think you're in alcohol.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. I've been cutting it back a little bit,
Speaker 3: you know, but yeah, pretty much. So I was doing
Speaker 3: this thing where I was living in the woods for
Speaker 3: a while.
Speaker 2: Why we spent like, the good, how long have we
Speaker 2: been talking about We've been talking on the phone for
Speaker 2: six minutes and we spent trying to find a YouTube
Speaker 2: video when we could have been talking about hanging out
Speaker 2: in the woods and getting unreasonably drunk. Anyway, let's let's
Speaker 2: and now I'm talking about it more. All right, go ahead,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop interrupting.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, So, I mean, so I was in
Speaker 3: the woods for a while without access for alcohol for
Speaker 3: about three months, and then you know, I was like
Speaker 3: I came back and I was like, well, you know
Speaker 3: as well hit it hard. You know, I haven't had
Speaker 3: booze in a while. So I did that, and then
Speaker 3: then my next semester of college started and I was like,
Speaker 3: I have it. I'm going to have a job this summer.
Speaker 2: So why were you were you woods? Why were you
Speaker 2: living in the woods.
Speaker 3: My college has a really cool program actually where you
Speaker 3: can do a semester of college seventeen credits in the
Speaker 3: woods and live in a tent.
Speaker 2: How much did you pay to live in a tent
Speaker 2: in the woods to do college.
Speaker 3: Plus tuition? It was four thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: You paid four thousand dollars to live in a tent
Speaker 2: in the woods.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I got seventeen credits and I got to
Speaker 5: eat three months. I got to eat bear meat, elk meat,
Speaker 5: a bunch of really cool stuff happened.
Speaker 2: You lived that a tent for three months and that
Speaker 2: was it?
Speaker 3: Just you?
Speaker 2: Were you alone? Or were there other people living in
Speaker 2: the tents?
Speaker 3: No, there was twelve other students or eleven other students.
Speaker 2: And how deep in the woods were you?
Speaker 3: We were in the largest designated wilderness area and the
Speaker 3: lower forty eight, So we were like twenty eight miles
Speaker 3: from like the nearest civilization.
Speaker 2: All right, so plus tuition all inclusive, four thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I paid tuition and then to get
Speaker 3: out there. The fee for like all the food and
Speaker 3: whatnot and for flying us you know, out there was
Speaker 3: four thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Okay, so how much was tuition.
Speaker 1: I pay?
Speaker 3: Like, oh gosh, I pay seven thousand dollars intuition. Is
Speaker 3: that a lots?
Speaker 2: That's a lot or a little bit of money to
Speaker 2: go to school in the woods.
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel good about my you know, to
Speaker 3: go into the woods. That's probably a lot of money
Speaker 3: to go into the woods. I think the biggest thing though,
Speaker 3: is that I got seventeen credit hours of college while
Speaker 3: I was also enjoying the woods, you know, so I
Speaker 3: would have been paying tuition anyways.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like you studied abroad but in the woods. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I studied abroad but in the woods. Pretty much.
Speaker 2: It's a good. But when I'm thinking of this tent,
Speaker 2: is it like a like a knight? Are you glamping?
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you holding out on me? Yeah?
Speaker 3: It's definitely no, it was definitely glamping. They were nice
Speaker 3: like canvas tents. They were hot tents, so we had
Speaker 3: wood stoves in them. So when it got cold and
Speaker 3: like October and one night, stuff at flot wood.
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought you were living only a shitty like
Speaker 2: Dick's Sporting goods tent. Nah nah, all right, so you
Speaker 2: lived in a tent for three months and that somehow
Speaker 2: led to you getting drunk all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess. Yeah. I wasn't drinking for a while,
Speaker 3: and then when I got back and started my spring semester,
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna go ham
Speaker 3: because I have a job this summer and I won't
Speaker 3: be able to drink, you know, because I'll be like
Speaker 3: working a lot. So I was like, I'm only taking
Speaker 3: twelve credits, might as well take all this extra time,
Speaker 3: you know, I get it out of my system. And so, yeah,
Speaker 3: I've been I've been boozing.
Speaker 2: And why do you get your Why are you blowing
Speaker 2: into the microphone?
Speaker 3: Am I sorry about that?
Speaker 2: Are you outside?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm outside.
Speaker 2: Go inside. I know you like being outside, but go inside.
Speaker 3: All right. Sorry, I was at a library and I
Speaker 3: didn't want disturb people.
Speaker 2: It's okay, they.
Speaker 3: Can they can probably just deal with it.
Speaker 2: You'll probably just deal with it, all right. So how
Speaker 2: much are you drinking? Now?
Speaker 3: Like a bottle, like a field and like two racks
Speaker 3: a week?
Speaker 2: Probably okay, all right, And how long you been doing
Speaker 2: that for?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm about three months?
Speaker 2: And how's that affecting your life?
Speaker 3: I mean, i'd say I'm pretty functional. Uh, I've got
Speaker 3: a's in all my classes. I'm like, I'm actually graduating
Speaker 3: early from college, like a semester early.
Speaker 2: So you got a lot of credits the functional. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you want to graduate college, I don't know, I'm
Speaker 2: doing good just to fucking go into the fucking wood's
Speaker 2: outside of your all. These people are spending all their
Speaker 2: time trying to graduate early in the in the classrooms.
Speaker 2: They could be doing it in the woods.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a really good experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you gonna stop?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, whinning you stop?
Speaker 3: I think? Well, I mean classes end May tenth, So
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you know that was going to
Speaker 3: be the cut off.
Speaker 2: All right, it's May as we're as we're talking, it's
Speaker 2: April thirtieth. Yeah, all right, so you have ten more
Speaker 2: days to drink before you stop. Is that what we're
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I don't think I will stop completely, like,
Speaker 3: but it will definitely just be like a normal reasonable amount.
Speaker 2: What's a normal reasonable amount to you?
Speaker 3: Like maybe only on the weekends and even then only
Speaker 3: like five years.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do when you graduate?
Speaker 3: Uh? I hope to go work in the nuclear industry.
Speaker 2: Mm okay, definitely can't get drunk doing that. Although that
Speaker 2: was Homer Simpson's job, and he was, you know, kind
Speaker 2: of kind of bumbling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he seemed to be doing all right, you know,
Speaker 3: live in the American dream.
Speaker 2: Yeah, although that is a cartoon, so I wouldn't base
Speaker 2: any life decisions around it. What are you gonna do
Speaker 2: in nuclear stuff?
Speaker 3: I'd specialize in like fuel storage. That's what I want
Speaker 3: to get into, is like fuel storage and environmental requirements.
Speaker 2: You're gonna blow anything up? Mmmm?
Speaker 3: Nah? Not really my forte.
Speaker 2: What if someone pisses you off? What if someone pisses
Speaker 2: you off, you're gonna blow him up?
Speaker 3: Uh? Nah?
Speaker 1: That might.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: No one's ever really pissed me off either.
Speaker 2: No one's ever pissed you off?
Speaker 3: I mean no, I mean people have, but I don't
Speaker 3: think I've gotten that angry.
Speaker 2: I've never got the last time. When's the last time
Speaker 2: someone pissed you off?
Speaker 6: My housing management ripped a hole in my my tent
Speaker 6: because they didn't like where I put it, I set
Speaker 6: it out to dry, and then they when they were
Speaker 6: tearing it down because they didn't like where it was,
Speaker 6: they ripped.
Speaker 2: A hole in it and find out where they live
Speaker 2: and send a nuke to their house. You can do
Speaker 2: that now, That's what you paid eleven thousand dollars to
Speaker 2: learn how to do. And you must use your skills
Speaker 2: practically in the real world by blowing up people who
Speaker 2: piss you off. I feel like I'm gonna get myself on.
Speaker 2: I tell you all this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I could
Speaker 3: get in trouble just by hearing it.
Speaker 2: No, you can, you can, you can. I genuinely believe
Speaker 2: you can do whatever you want you specifically. That's why
Speaker 2: I'm telling you should blow people up and puts you off.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I don't have kids. There are like
Speaker 3: any obligations.
Speaker 1: How old are you twenty one?
Speaker 2: All right? Are you gonna stop drinking?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I am yeah.
Speaker 2: Are you How confident are you'll be able to stop?
Speaker 3: I feel pretty good about a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: I took like a two week break and I held
Speaker 3: that up so like I know I can go without it.
Speaker 3: So like you know, I figure, I just do that again,
Speaker 3: but for longer.
Speaker 2: Is it fun? Are you having fun drinking a lot?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2: What do you do? What do you do when you
Speaker 2: get really drunk?
Speaker 3: Uh? You know, I get I go home, I like
Speaker 3: howk to my roommates, play video games. A lot of
Speaker 3: times I just kind of do homework as well, Like
Speaker 3: I'll just like start slamming while I'm doing homework and
Speaker 3: then go to bed.
Speaker 2: I've talked about it. I may have talked about this before,
Speaker 2: but I was a handful of only a handful of
Speaker 2: times I've gotten really sad and I was and I
Speaker 2: was or like anxious, and I was like, let me
Speaker 2: just get let me get drunk, see what happens. And
Speaker 2: I did, and it was it's numbing. That's what I did. Numbs.
Speaker 2: And I thought to myself, I was like, oh, this,
Speaker 2: I understand why people do this all the time. It
Speaker 2: makes perfect sense as to why people do this all
Speaker 2: the time, Like because life is. I don't know about you,
Speaker 2: but like I mean you maybe, I mean we're both
Speaker 2: very young. But there's like a wait, it's like you're
Speaker 2: carrying a like being alive. Sometimes it feels like you're
Speaker 2: carrying a big fucking rock, and when you're drunk, it's
Speaker 2: kind of like you're not carrying the rock for like
Speaker 2: you put it's like you're putting down the rock for
Speaker 2: a second, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But then when you're sober up and you pick the
Speaker 2: rock back up, the rock is like twice as heavy now.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Well that's why you just got to keep.
Speaker 2: Drinking, that's what they say. But they are dead.
Speaker 3: That's a that's a good point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, drinking is crazy. I get why people do it.
Speaker 2: I get why people do it. But you're too Didn't
Speaker 2: you have a good time? So when you were in
Speaker 2: the woods you were sober though?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Completely, yeah nothing, I had nothing.
Speaker 2: And were you having a good time?
Speaker 3: Oh a blast? You know. It was just hiking and
Speaker 3: taking all right.
Speaker 2: So then you've experienced life not getting drunk all the time,
Speaker 2: and it was good.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'm not worried about you. I think
Speaker 2: you're gonna do great. I think you're gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you'll be able to stop my roommates.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are your roommates Sayah? Are you with them
Speaker 2: right now? No, you're at the library.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I'm at the library. I was doing homework
Speaker 3: and watching your podcast.
Speaker 2: Okay, what do your roommates say?
Speaker 3: You know, they start getting a little concerned because I'll
Speaker 3: like wake up poor glass of coffee and put a
Speaker 3: couple of things a whiskey in it, and then my yeah, class, yeah,
Speaker 3: but like you know, that's just for class, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I really do get I really understand why
Speaker 2: you would want to be drunk all the time.
Speaker 3: And it's not like it's affecting my life, like, no,
Speaker 3: it's one hundred affecting your life. I mean I'm doing well,
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're getting I feel like part of doing
Speaker 2: well is not like I don't think your roommates see
Speaker 2: you pouring whiskey into your coffee and say, man, Rocky's
Speaker 2: doing really well. Like that, like being drunk all the
Speaker 2: time in and of itself is not doing well. That's
Speaker 2: why there's no such there's really no such thing as
Speaker 2: like a functioning drug addict alcoholic, because that, in and
Speaker 2: of itself is a sign of disparity. Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, but fuck fuck I get it, man, I mean, uh,
Speaker 7: it's crazy.
Speaker 2: Going to class sucks so bad. It's so awful. It's
Speaker 2: so like the just the day, the daily fucking monotony.
Speaker 2: I have a cool job, and I still can't handle
Speaker 2: the daily fucking monotony. You know, like this, I mean,
Speaker 2: talking to you would be so much easier if I
Speaker 2: was piss drunk right now. But I don't do it.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that because I'm not saying it'd
Speaker 2: be mean to you.
Speaker 1: I'm saying no, no, I get it.
Speaker 2: Man, you know what I'm saying. Just life, just dealing,
Speaker 2: doing stuff, just doing anything. But you can't do that.
Speaker 2: You can't do it. You can't do it, You can't
Speaker 2: do it. Yeah, because I'm gonna try to. Why can't
Speaker 2: you do it? You can't do it because it's not good.
Speaker 2: It's like I said, being we I could get so drunk.
Speaker 2: I could get drunk every time I recorded this podcast
Speaker 2: and the podcast could be great. But I can't say
Speaker 2: to myself, you know, oh, I'm doing great because the
Speaker 2: podcasts are doing okay, I because I'm drunk all the time.
Speaker 2: It's not good.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: You. Part of I think being alive is like you
Speaker 2: just gotta hold you just gotta hold up that rock.
Speaker 2: You just gotta hold it. It's your it's your rock, man,
Speaker 2: You own a rock. You get to have a rock. Congratulations.
Speaker 2: It's your birthright to carry a big, heavy rock all
Speaker 2: over the place. And you what you're gonna get drunk,
Speaker 2: You're gonna misplace your rock. No, you don't want to
Speaker 2: do that. You're gonna hold that rock with pride, you know.
Speaker 3: M that's good. That's a good point. GEK, thank you.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Yeah, I'll stop.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be hilarious if I reveal to you that
Speaker 2: I was really drunk right now. I'm not, But if
Speaker 2: I was, it would just negate everything. But that's the thing,
Speaker 2: if I was, it wouldn't negate everything. I'm saying. That'd
Speaker 2: be a hypocrite.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think it would. I mean, I
Speaker 3: think it would give what you're saying credit. You could
Speaker 3: be like I'm You could say you're trying to stop
Speaker 3: because you know it's dysfunctional.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what else? The woods? We talked about the woods,
Speaker 2: We talked about Osama bin Laden anything else, rocket, anything else?
Speaker 3: Hmmmm. There's a Japanese whiskey that is clear. No, it's
Speaker 3: like it starts with an age, but it's completely clear,
Speaker 3: and I just I had some and it's really good.
Speaker 3: You can tell it's whiskey. But it's like it throws
Speaker 3: me off because it's clear.
Speaker 2: Are you Are you drunk right now?
Speaker 3: Lightley?

Speaker 2: lot of different stuff that's not like cool, you know,
Speaker 2: like getting high all the time and ship, but never
Speaker 2: it's never been alcohol. Uh, but I've thought about it sometimes,
Speaker 2: like all right, the only way to chill is to
Speaker 2: be drunk all the time. But that's your that's not
Speaker 2: that's that that's a path exponentially downwards. So I'm gonnaish
Speaker 2: you some good luck.

Speaker 2: like blackjack, but I've never I've never ever played at
Speaker 2: a cassi. I played. I gambled at a casino once
Speaker 2: I did it. Once I took ten dollars, and I
Speaker 2: put it into the Willy Wonka themed slot machine, and
Speaker 2: I pressed a button and my ten dollars was then gone.
Speaker 2: And that's why I don't like casinos, because they're it's
Speaker 2: like daven Busters, but you can't play any of the games.
Speaker 2: But I will say, if I saw like I said,
Speaker 2: if I saw an Osama bin Laden slot machine, would
Speaker 2: I put it? Would I give it ten dollars? I
Speaker 2: gave Willy Wonka ten dollars. I'm not gonna give osamovan
Speaker 2: Laden ten dollars. You know what I'm not. He doesn't
Speaker 2: deserve it. For all that stuff goes on the line,
Speaker 2: taking your phone calls every night, the Repinn goes doing
Speaker 2: his eye. He's teaching you to how to over your life,
Speaker 2: but he's not really an expert.
