Speaker 3: Let's do some calls, baby.
Speaker 4: All from Constance two conference.
Speaker 3: It's constant constance, yes, like the state of consistency.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you as a person are consistent.
Speaker 6: At points?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 8: If I have enough renovation.
Speaker 3: What gives you motivation?
Speaker 7: That is a good question.
Speaker 5: Most of have nothing.
Speaker 9: It just comes in random starts.
Speaker 3: What do you do when you get a random spirit
Speaker 3: of motivation?
Speaker 6: Schoolwork a lot of it.
Speaker 3: Are you in college?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 3: What do you study?
Speaker 9: I'm currently just doing my first two years. I go
Speaker 9: to a community college, so I'm just trying to get
Speaker 9: my first two years over the basics.
Speaker 3: Constant sounds like the name of a fortune teller.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's uh. I can't remember where it originated from.
Speaker 7: I used to study my name a lot.
Speaker 3: If that sounds to you, I don't know, Constance. Are
Speaker 3: you ridiculous?
Speaker 6: I am not.
Speaker 9: I think I'm very level minded, and it weirds people out.
Speaker 3: It weirds people out.
Speaker 9: You say yes, because a lot of people, when put
Speaker 9: in certain situations, will become very emotional, and I don't
Speaker 9: do that.
Speaker 3: Tell me about a situation in which others are usually
Speaker 3: emotional but you are not.
Speaker 9: This is very extreme. But whenever I was eleven, my
Speaker 9: mother passed away and I just thought about it as
Speaker 9: I can't do anything about it, and I just kind
Speaker 9: of have to move on with my life and hope
Speaker 9: for the best and work on myself. And my dad
Speaker 9: thought I was a sociopath.
Speaker 4: But you know, see, this.
Speaker 3: Is interesting because this seems like one of those things
Speaker 3: that's both a blessing and a curse. You know, Like, obviously,
Speaker 3: you know when you don't feel as hard as other
Speaker 3: people do, you avoid all the bad stuff. But do
Speaker 3: you think that that also causes you to avoid all
Speaker 3: the good stuff there is about being emotional?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 9: Yes, most definitely. I'll see my friends get worked up
Speaker 9: over things, are really excited over certain things like us
Speaker 9: hanging out. But to me, I just I'm like, it's
Speaker 9: just another day. I don't feel excited or anything.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about your stoic nature? Do you
Speaker 3: wish that you were more emotional? Are you envious of
Speaker 3: your friends? Or do you like the way that you operate?
Speaker 9: Well, there's been times where I've wished that I was
Speaker 9: more emotional, But I have had moments whenever I do
Speaker 9: become extremely emotional, and I hate it so much. I
Speaker 9: honestly would just prefer how I am now. It's just
Speaker 9: so much easier on me.
Speaker 3: What do you hate about it?
Speaker 9: It just stresses me out so bad. I have so
Speaker 9: much anxiety over it.
Speaker 3: Does he give anxiety over it because it's not something
Speaker 3: you're used to, I would say so. Yes, There's lots
Speaker 3: of ways that I feel like you could take u
Speaker 3: stoicism to your advantage because and again I'm not a
Speaker 3: real therapist, but I do find this particular thing very
Speaker 3: interesting because this is like one of those things where
Speaker 3: you could either be like, all right, I'm gonna work
Speaker 3: really hard to change this about myself or I'm gonna
Speaker 3: work really hard to just accept this about myself and
Speaker 3: make the best of my life that I can, accepting
Speaker 3: that I'm just by my own nature for whatever reason.
Speaker 12: A very stowe person, right right, Yeah, it kind of
Speaker 12: sucks overall, because, like I said, I don't really get
Speaker 12: excited over things, or I don't.
Speaker 9: Really get angry or any of those. But whenever I'm
Speaker 9: forced into something I'm not used to or I'm doing
Speaker 9: something that I don't usually do, I get really stressed
Speaker 9: out and my anxiety is crazy or the roof and
Speaker 9: I don't know what to do with myself.
Speaker 3: Have you spoken to a real therapist about any of this?
Speaker 9: I have not, but because of a lot of things
Speaker 9: that I've gone through as a child, that's my plan.
Speaker 9: That's what I want to major, and I want to
Speaker 9: major in psychology.
Speaker 3: This is interesting because I wonder if your lack of
Speaker 3: feeling is emotion and all those other people will help
Speaker 3: you or hinder you in attempting to help them with
Speaker 3: their emotions. What do you think about that?
Speaker 9: Well, I've had the same worries before, and something I
Speaker 9: looked into before deciding that I wanted to go to
Speaker 9: school to become a therapist.
Speaker 7: Was that.
Speaker 9: A lot of times your professors will force you to
Speaker 9: go and take therapy because you have to know what
Speaker 9: it's like to be in.
Speaker 7: The other seat. You have to know what it's like
Speaker 7: to be that patient.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I feel like it'll help me more because I won't
Speaker 9: in a way I'll understand how they're feeling, but I
Speaker 9: also won't get overly emotional, and I'll be able to
Speaker 9: listen to them and help them maybe think more logically
Speaker 9: about those things and make them feel more comfortable.
Speaker 3: I don't know, see all right, that right there is
Speaker 3: sort of what I was talking about. Right, How if
Speaker 3: you're like a really you know, stoic, logic thinking person
Speaker 3: who's not very driven by emotion, instead of looking at
Speaker 3: that as a weakness, you know, you're looking at it
Speaker 3: as more of a strength, and you're like, okay, well
Speaker 3: how can I use this as a strength. And that's
Speaker 3: an example, you know, if you were to go into
Speaker 3: becoming a therapist and saying, well, I think very logically,
Speaker 3: and maybe I would pair up well with clients who
Speaker 3: are more emotional and I could help them think more
Speaker 3: logically and stoically, and then you know, you do that
Speaker 3: and it works, and you're like, oh shit, this thing
Speaker 3: that you know possibly people who have been telling me
Speaker 3: there's something wrong with me, I'm actually harnessing it as
Speaker 3: a important tool of mind to help other people.
Speaker 7: Right there, there was a lot.
Speaker 9: Yeah, a lot of my family thinks it's pretty cool.
Speaker 9: I've been through so many different mindsets and changes on.
Speaker 7: What I want to be.
Speaker 9: I get one point, I wanted to be a surgeon,
Speaker 9: and then I wanted to be a doctor, and then
Speaker 9: a nurse, and then a teacher, and.
Speaker 10: Now I'm going to be a therapist.
Speaker 9: So who knows, maybe I'll change my mind.
Speaker 7: Maybe I won't.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for calling in constance of course,
Speaker 3: of course you have a good rest of the night.
Speaker 3: Thank you for sharing you too.
Speaker 4: Bye all from dark Dark Dark.
Speaker 3: That was a kind of cool noise dark.
Speaker 13: Hey, Hey, how are you doing?
Speaker 11: Gek?
Speaker 3: Are you ridiculous?
Speaker 13: You know I thought about this question the last time
Speaker 13: you asked it, and I was like, I think I
Speaker 13: am because I have a tendency to laugh at things
Speaker 13: that are just wildly inappropriate, like what so today, for example,
Speaker 13: i walk into my wife's store, she works at a
Speaker 13: coffee shop, and I'm like, I see your boss walk
Speaker 13: out and she has one of those like clear masks on,
Speaker 13: and I'd never seen one of those before, and I
Speaker 13: just started laughing because I thought it was so weird
Speaker 13: to see someone's face.
Speaker 3: So you're just laughing at your wife's face.
Speaker 13: No, no, my wife's boss face.
Speaker 3: Oh does he have a fri Let me ask you
Speaker 3: something forgetting about the absurdity of a clear mask? Did
Speaker 3: this guy have just in general a funny looking face?
Speaker 13: Kind of because you don't get the nose and you
Speaker 13: get like all the lips and it's kind of like
Speaker 13: out of context. So you see their eyes and then
Speaker 13: you see a pair of lips and then just like
Speaker 13: a black cloth around it.
Speaker 3: Do you know what his name was?
Speaker 13: Oh, it's actually a girl.
Speaker 11: Her boss's a girl.
Speaker 3: And sh hara funny face.
Speaker 11: Yes.
Speaker 3: Where did you meet your wife?
Speaker 13: I met my wife on Twitter?
Speaker 3: On Twitter?
Speaker 13: Yeah, she lived in Ohio and I lived in Arizona.
Speaker 3: Did it start in a DM or in a public thread?
Speaker 13: It started in a DM?
Speaker 3: Actually, what did you DM?
Speaker 11: Her?
Speaker 13: I said that I liked her style.
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm really happy here. That worked out for you.
Speaker 13: Yeah, now we got a Now we got a three
Speaker 13: year old and we're married.
Speaker 3: Do you like being married?
Speaker 13: I absolutely love it.
Speaker 3: What else do you laugh at that's inappropriate?
Speaker 13: One time, like I was in like a lobby of
Speaker 13: the place, and this customer starts like throwing like the
Speaker 13: typical like Karen stink, and I just started laughing. And
Speaker 13: it's like kind of like an uncontrollable thing, like a
Speaker 13: tick that comes out, and I just started laughing. And
Speaker 13: then the lady started getting mad at me for laughing
Speaker 13: at her, like yelling at like this person who was
Speaker 13: just trying to make their food.
Speaker 3: I understand why you would laugh at that. I mean,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of content out on the Internet of
Speaker 3: people yelling, and people do find it funny, So I
Speaker 3: understand why you would find it funny in real life
Speaker 3: because it is kind of ridiculous that the person is yelling.
Speaker 13: Yeah, maybe maybe it's not like me being ridiculous, but
Speaker 13: me being seen in a ridiculous area.
Speaker 3: Thank you for calling Michael.
Speaker 11: Wait Way.
Speaker 4: All from to accept Press.
Speaker 3: Hello, are you there is that anyone?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 3: Are we alone in the universe? Is there life outside
Speaker 3: of Earth? And if if there was, would they like us?
Speaker 3: What if if there was a whole other race of
Speaker 3: intelligent life. I'm here. If there was a whole race
Speaker 3: of intelligent life and they didn't like us, would we care?
Speaker 3: Would we be all like upset that they don't like
Speaker 3: that the aliens don't think that we're that we're cringe?
Speaker 3: What do you what do you think?
Speaker 7: I I honestly do think aliens be ashamed of the
Speaker 7: human race.
Speaker 3: Really why?
Speaker 6: I mean, all of the.
Speaker 7: Videos on the YouTube space and means and it's just
Speaker 7: our shitty humor.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I just don't.
Speaker 3: But we wouldn't be judged. We would be judged by
Speaker 3: our best We would be judged by like Mark Twain
Speaker 3: or whatever. We don't I think that like the human race,
Speaker 3: if we had like a we had to present ourselves,
Speaker 3: I don't think we would. We got to pick, we
Speaker 3: would probably pick. We probably wouldn't pick internet memes. We
Speaker 3: would show them you're probably not wrong.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, it's like, you know, UFO
Speaker 7: sightings and everything like that, probably been just observing us
Speaker 7: for a while at time when.
Speaker 3: They stepped in, Why haven't they come to kill us?
Speaker 7: See how stupid we are?
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, so if a human has sex with
Speaker 3: an animal, it can't it doesn't make a baby. But
Speaker 3: if a human had sex with another intelligent life form,
Speaker 3: an alien, that could make another sort of species of
Speaker 3: intelligent life form. Like if there what if there was
Speaker 3: like another like breed.
Speaker 4: Of intelligence aliens.
Speaker 3: Yes, if we interbreeded with aliens and we formed a
Speaker 3: whole new integrated society and then those alien and then
Speaker 3: they they had said, well I guess if I guess
Speaker 3: if they had sex, if the two babies had sex
Speaker 3: with each other, then it would just make or it would.
Speaker 7: It make a I feel like it would make I
Speaker 7: don't think they would be intelligent. I feel like that's
Speaker 7: going down like the inbreeding path between humans where you
Speaker 7: know they get really fussed up.
Speaker 3: Well okay, well then if that's the thing, then if
Speaker 3: you go back through humanity, at some point there was it,
Speaker 3: we had the inbreed.
Speaker 7: There was, right, Yeah, but like that's what causes like uh,
Speaker 7: degenerative like stuff like you know, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Are you ridiculous? Uh?
Speaker 7: I don't think so. I don't want Why not?
Speaker 3: You don't want? All right? So you think that you are,
Speaker 3: but you do not want to be?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Probably all right?
Speaker 3: What makes you think that you are?
Speaker 7: Some of the things I say sometimes just get like
Speaker 7: weird looks. I don't know, like I have shipped something
Speaker 7: humor too. That's why I think aliens wouldn't like us,
Speaker 7: Like my sense of humor is pretty terrible. So's but
Speaker 7: I was going off home, so I.
Speaker 3: Think, all right, so you're kind of I think you
Speaker 3: think aliens wouldn't like you specifically, Yeah, probably even race.
Speaker 7: Probably.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean I was basing off myself.
Speaker 3: So you wish you were less for the.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm one of those people that don't want to
Speaker 7: be perceived in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 3: So I'm curious what uh so you called into this stream? Uh?
Speaker 3: And there are like thousands of people perceiving you right now.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but they can't like keep my face and attach it,
Speaker 7: like right now, I'm just kind of a disembodied voice.
Speaker 3: It's true, but you are identified as a as a
Speaker 3: human being that lives on earth.
Speaker 7: Yes, but I can distance myself like from who I
Speaker 7: am on the stream and who I am actually you know,
Speaker 7: do you do.
Speaker 3: You feel like you are presenting a personality right now
Speaker 3: that is different from who you actually are.
Speaker 7: No, but they don't know that.
Speaker 3: How do you feel now that they do.
Speaker 7: I mean, I could just one, it could just be
Speaker 7: one eighty in it.
Speaker 3: You know, why are you afraid of being perceived?
Speaker 7: That's a really loaded question. I don't know, Probably because anxiety.
Speaker 3: Do you think that you're unworthy of being perceived?
Speaker 7: Oh my god, this is getting real deep. Probably I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 7: what what makes.
Speaker 3: Someone, in your opinion, worthy of being.
Speaker 7: Perceived, whether or not they actually contribute to society? Like
Speaker 7: I'm I think a lot of people are just like NPCs,
Speaker 7: just walking around, just doing their thing, not really contributing.
Speaker 7: They're just existing. They're not really living. And I feel
Speaker 7: like that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 3: So you think of yourself as an NPC essentially?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just a day in and day out.
Speaker 5: I just exist.
Speaker 7: I don't really do anything.
Speaker 3: Would you like to do things?
Speaker 14: Probably?
Speaker 3: Would you wait to do?
Speaker 15: Uh?
Speaker 7: Like get an education and help people?
Speaker 3: It's a lot of ways to help people.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there is, but at this point, like I wake up,
Speaker 7: I go to work, I work with waitress that's not
Speaker 7: really helping people in any way, And then I come.
Speaker 3: Home helping people that's absolutely.
Speaker 7: I mean in a meaningful way, like giving someone What do.
Speaker 3: You define as a meaningful way.
Speaker 7: Like a life changing way. I feel like, yeah, like
Speaker 7: providing a service is helping someone, but at the same time,
Speaker 7: like not like they do. It's doing something that they
Speaker 7: could do themselves.
Speaker 3: But to say that you don't contribute to society as
Speaker 3: a waitress, I mean you actively contribute to the economy.
Speaker 3: You all right, you get paid money? Right?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: How do you Where does your money come from? Your
Speaker 3: money comes from the restaurant, which people give money to
Speaker 3: because people feel as though the service that the restaurant
Speaker 3: provides is valuable, and so they give them money. And
Speaker 3: so the service that you provide to the restaurant helps
Speaker 3: the restaurant be valuable to people. So you provide value
Speaker 3: to people inherently and people and it is objectively proven
Speaker 3: that you provide value to people because you receive money
Speaker 3: in return for the value that you provide.
Speaker 7: I hadn't looked at it in that late, So I
Speaker 7: mean you're you're right for sure.
Speaker 3: I just feel like, uh, that's what having a job is.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well yeah, I just feel like it just provides
Speaker 7: value to have a little bit like a deeper beating,
Speaker 7: like doctors or teachers or like something like that, like
Speaker 7: life altering in some way.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 3: I feel like that's a big myth that like to
Speaker 3: help people or have an impact, you have to be uh,
Speaker 3: you know, a freaking rocket scientist person. You know, you
Speaker 3: help people on a micro scale.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just like to do something bigger.
Speaker 3: Do you have any ideas of what bigger thing you
Speaker 3: would like to do.
Speaker 7: I would like to enter the medical field some day.
Speaker 3: And by the way, you know, I think it's good
Speaker 3: that you're like aiming higher. It's always good to be
Speaker 3: aiming higher. But I wouldn't look at what you're currently
Speaker 3: doing is not contributing to society. I think that you
Speaker 3: currently contribute to society. You objectively provide value to other people.
Speaker 3: And you are now looking to you currently provide value
Speaker 3: to people, and you're looking, you know, hey, how could
Speaker 3: I provide even more value to society than when I'm
Speaker 3: currently providing? Which is a good struggle to be having.
Speaker 7: Yeah, interesting, I remember really looked at it in that light.
Speaker 7: I always just felt kind of like, not, this is
Speaker 7: going to sound a little harsher than I mean it
Speaker 7: to be, but useless essentially and like great scheme things.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think you're useless.
Speaker 7: And that's not in like a bad way like I'm
Speaker 7: okay with it, like I'm If I wasn't, I would
Speaker 7: already be going to school, like be reinhold and everything
Speaker 7: like that, but.
Speaker 3: Just something to sit with, why haven't you going to school?
Speaker 7: I actually did start school and then I stopped going
Speaker 7: because my ex and I bought a house together at
Speaker 7: the rif old age of nineteen, and then we had
Speaker 7: a bad breakup and sold the house and I just
Speaker 7: haven't re enrolled. So I stopped going to school so
Speaker 7: I could work more so I could pay for the house.
Speaker 3: Are you still playing for the house?
Speaker 7: No, we sold it, so that part's done. I'm living
Speaker 7: at home now, so that kind of is part. I'm
Speaker 7: living at home after owning a house, like I'm working
Speaker 7: waitress job. I'm not going to school anymore like I
Speaker 7: was doing more, and now that I'm not, I feel like, well.
Speaker 3: So then what's stopping it from rein rolling? If you
Speaker 3: if you, if that's what you want to do.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 7: At first, it was like COVID, I can't do in
Speaker 7: person classes and I don't learn well with online classes,
Speaker 7: so I just yeah, so I was just waiting for
Speaker 7: the classes to open up in person.
Speaker 3: Again, okay, and in the meantime, you're saving up money
Speaker 3: living at home, which is good. That's awesome.
Speaker 10: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 16: Not too bad.
Speaker 7: It just feels like an.
Speaker 3: I don't know why that feels like an NBC. I mean,
Speaker 3: you're well, an NBC is like well, okay, think about
Speaker 3: it like this, you're uh more like you're more like
Speaker 3: in the RPG when the guy goes into like the
Speaker 3: item shop to regain health and strength.
Speaker 7: By yeah, you're the you're the shopkeeper.
Speaker 3: And look and look the main character. Whatever needs you
Speaker 3: provide the characters with value as you give them food.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 3: And then in the meantime, I actually think you're in
Speaker 3: a good position. You're saving up money living a home,
Speaker 3: and you can fucking re enroll. It's not like you can,
Speaker 3: you can. It was a good decison. I'm glad you
Speaker 3: sold the house. Yeah, you don't have to pay for
Speaker 3: the house anymore. And now you're in a good position
Speaker 3: to re enroll whenever you feel like you can do that.
Speaker 3: And in the meantime, you're not like wasting away time,
Speaker 3: you know, value to society and making money in return.
Speaker 3: I think that that is pretty good.
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 7: This is a very nice call.
Speaker 3: Good I hope that. I hope that, uh, this inspires
Speaker 3: you to think less poorly about your situation and more
Speaker 3: optimistic for the future.
Speaker 7: Thank you, It absolutely does. It does make me feel
Speaker 7: better to be recognized in a different light and different perspective.
Speaker 3: You've been perceived. You've been perceived.
Speaker 7: Oh, I don't know if I'm all right. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 7: accept it. I've been perceived.
Speaker 3: What did you say your name was? You never told
Speaker 3: me your name.

Speaker 3: I don't know what it would be, but like, just
Speaker 3: what if this guy is like a terrible dark secret?
Speaker 2: Well, I have to say that's a good point.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think so I don't think I
Speaker 3: have a terrible dark secret.
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you don't have a terrible dark secret,
Speaker 2: but you know, I try to see the good and everybody.
Speaker 2: So even if you did, you know, have a terrible
Speaker 2: dark secret, I would try to see some rationality.
Speaker 3: So really, so you would try to so you would
Speaker 3: try to rationalize my terrible dark.
Speaker 2: Secret nationality, unless sure just the sociopath, in which case
Speaker 2: the rationality you were be born with a chemical imbalanced.
Speaker 2: Then there is no rationality inside of you.
Speaker 3: Really, you know, that takes a lot like like, I
Speaker 3: don't want to bring up any specific examples or anything.
Speaker 3: I don't want to get too crazy, but like, all right,
Speaker 3: we can both agree that there are people in the
Speaker 3: world that do heinous horrible things, right, right, and you
Speaker 3: how do you view those people? You like, rationalize what
Speaker 3: you're able to rationalize what they do? Is like you
Speaker 3: can still like empathize with them.
Speaker 11: Well, let's put into perpectives.
Speaker 2: I personally know some people who have done some pretty
Speaker 2: pretty horrible things, and some of those people have gone
Speaker 2: away for a very long time, and some of those
Speaker 2: people have not Some of those people who had reasons
Speaker 2: for doing some pretty horrible things, and you know, obviously
Speaker 2: they don't justify it, but they do give it some
Speaker 2: sort of perspective, I would say, and it doesn't it
Speaker 2: doesn't make it right, but it makes you kind of Okay,
Speaker 2: I get it, you know, I get it. And unless,
Speaker 2: like I said, the person of the sociopath and just
Speaker 2: has absolutely you.
Speaker 1: Know, emotion.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, most of the people
Speaker 2: who did the horrible things that I know do have
Speaker 2: removers for the things that they did. So I do
Speaker 2: believe that there is some sort of understanding and every terrible,
Speaker 2: terrible action that somebody can do, unless you're just an
Speaker 2: awful person, which I grat I don't mean to say
Speaker 2: sociopaths are all awful people, because some of them are,
Speaker 2: Like they realize that, like I can't feel emotion towards people,
Speaker 2: so I'm just gonna not be We're gonna try not
Speaker 2: to be a scumbag.
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm very impressed because you know, seeing the good
Speaker 3: in people, like reading positive intent, having an optimistic view
Speaker 3: that human beings are generally good and that life is
Speaker 3: generally good.
Speaker 11: And that.
Speaker 3: You know, all that stuff is easy to do, except
Speaker 3: when it's really hard, like like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Sometimes that's what sometimes like it's really hard, but some
Speaker 3: people they show up for it and they're like, no,
Speaker 3: despite this, I still believe that humanity is good.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I always say that, you know, back
Speaker 2: to the logic thing, which is humanity. I think humanity
Speaker 2: is good. But I really just think that.
Speaker 11: Evil people and evil their evil deeds.
Speaker 2: Let's say, evil things are just the breakdowns logic. So
Speaker 2: evil arises when logic it just doesn't exist. So like
Speaker 2: it's illogical. He said, as goal to kill and eat somebody,
Speaker 2: that's not logical, that's not logically sound thing to do,
Speaker 2: So that would be considered an evil thing to do
Speaker 2: in my opinion. Yeah, so so yeah, that's that's so.
Speaker 2: I mean, if it's not it's not logic logically sound,
Speaker 2: then it's an evil deed. And I've done some illogical
Speaker 2: things in my life myself, so I don't exempt myself
Speaker 2: from that from that category. But I do think that
Speaker 2: people are inherently good.
Speaker 3: So if you think it's illogical if someone does something,
Speaker 3: that's if something does something something bad that is illogical,
Speaker 3: you think it's it's purely evil.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, well, I think just illogical acts are
Speaker 2: purely evil, and that doesn't necessarily mean that an all
Speaker 2: logical act has bad like it doesn't have to be
Speaker 2: like like I mean, I can be illogical when I'm
Speaker 2: trying to take a test. That doesn't mean it's a
Speaker 2: it's a bad thing or an evil thing. But I
Speaker 2: just think, you know, I like, evil acts when it
Speaker 2: comes to peer to peer are tend to be illogical.
Speaker 3: So someone kills and eats someone, you consider that, how
Speaker 3: how is that all right? But so if someone kills
Speaker 3: and eats someone and there's the logic is that there's
Speaker 3: something so like wrong with them mentally that causes them
Speaker 3: to do that, what is that in your eyes? Make
Speaker 3: that evil?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean it makes it so like so there's a
Speaker 2: chemical imbalance that I mean, like you just said, so
Speaker 2: logically to them, it's not illogical. So I wouldn't say
Speaker 2: it's evil. I would say at that point it's necessary,
Speaker 2: like because you have people who do not have you know, uh,
Speaker 2: substantial grasps on empathy and logic, and they're absolutely necessary
Speaker 2: to the natural order of things.
Speaker 11: So I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Necessarily consider that evil. I would consider it a necessary
Speaker 2: thing that to exist. So that way we have some
Speaker 2: sort of basis to reflect upon the good and the evil.
Speaker 2: And I think that evil comes when when people who
Speaker 2: know what's right and know what's good choose to do
Speaker 2: the illogical thing and do what's wrong.
Speaker 3: All this this is why, this is why I fucked
Speaker 3: so heavily with dogs.
Speaker 15: Dogs.
Speaker 11: Dogs are chill.
Speaker 2: You know what, then it's crazy. I'm a cat guy.
Speaker 3: Your cat cats too, Because if a dog does something
Speaker 3: bad or even even good, it's dog. Dogs. They don't
Speaker 3: know the difference between right and wrong. So they're they're
Speaker 3: just inherently pure. They're not like Machavelian. They're just dogs.
Speaker 3: They're just there. They don't think about right or wrong,
Speaker 3: and they don't think about the logic behind their actions.
Speaker 3: They just do things. That's why they can trust.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and dogs are pretty chill.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 2: I didn't even expect you to answer when you call it,
Speaker 2: so I didn't even have anything really prepared to talk about.
Speaker 2: So I just just like, let me see if I
Speaker 2: can get therapy, get go, and I.
Speaker 3: Got my stream, and I don't ever have anything prepared
Speaker 3: to talk about except the question that I didn't even
Speaker 3: ask you.
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, I respect that. I mean, that's the
Speaker 2: way to do it.
Speaker 11: Is just go off the cup.
Speaker 3: So how do you think this went?
Speaker 11: I think this went.
Speaker 2: I feel pretty therapeutic so far. I feel like I've
Speaker 2: been therapied.
Speaker 11: Therapied.
Speaker 2: Well, I've never been to a therapist before, except for
Speaker 2: that one time where my school mandated it when I
Speaker 2: was in my junior year in order for me to
Speaker 2: come back after a long term suspension.
Speaker 3: I'm not a real therapist. I'm just a gecko guy
Speaker 3: on the website where people speed run super Mario sixty four.
Speaker 2: Well, well, to me, I think you're a real therapist.
Speaker 2: To me, you're a real therapist.
Speaker 11: So there we go.
Speaker 3: I think that's a dangerous thing to call myself.
Speaker 2: I think I could get you into some trouble if
Speaker 2: you start advertising yourself as a real therapist.
Speaker 11: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: What was my name is?
Speaker 5: Rudd?
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for cork are you.
Speaker 13: D d Well?
Speaker 2: Thank you for taking my call, mister therapy gecko. It's
Speaker 2: been a pleasure to the night.
Speaker 4: You too, all from Fletcher?
Speaker 3: Fletcher?
Speaker 4: Oh no way, why.
Speaker 11: How's it doing?
Speaker 3: That's going right?
Speaker 11: That's good? Here? Are you?
Speaker 3: You seem Strauss?
Speaker 11: Yeah? I think I called like two hundred times. I
Speaker 11: was calling.
Speaker 1: You a lot the other day.
Speaker 3: Why I had.
Speaker 11: Something to tell you. I was it was the night
Speaker 11: of my senior prank.
Speaker 3: Your senior prank.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know all the seniors go out do something.
Speaker 3: Why are you calling me on the night of your
Speaker 3: senior brank?
Speaker 11: Well, because I just wanted to draw out and do it,
Speaker 11: and I think the topic was like something related to it.
Speaker 11: What was it? Well, so we got like fifty thousand forks, right,
Speaker 11: and then we went out to our football field. We
Speaker 11: had like forty people and we stuck them in the ground.
Speaker 3: You stuck fifty How many forks do you.
Speaker 11: Say, Yeah, fifty thousand.
Speaker 3: You stuck fifty thousand forks in the ground.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't get it. Well, you got to see it.
Speaker 11: I mean, if you want to see I could tell
Speaker 11: you my buddy's TikTok's Like.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, like, what is the what is the
Speaker 3: point of it? Like, what is it?
Speaker 11: Oh? Well do well? The point was like it looks
Speaker 11: funny because like the forks, you know, they're just in
Speaker 11: the ground, and like it like it looked like if
Speaker 11: you looked at it from a certain angle, it looked
Speaker 11: like snow and it's Florida, So like it looked like snow.
Speaker 11: But the funny part was going to be like people
Speaker 11: picking them up. But we got caught with all the
Speaker 11: cops and all this stuff, so that we actually ended
Speaker 11: up picking it up.
Speaker 3: Oh so you didn't even get away with it.
Speaker 11: Oh no, No, we got like, oh like maybe like
Speaker 11: fifteen of us got caught, but then like the rest
Speaker 11: of us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people, does it take to stick fifty? I mean
Speaker 3: that's a lot of forks.
Speaker 11: That's it. No, it was a lot of works.
Speaker 3: How people did you have working on this operation? Whose
Speaker 3: idea was this?
Speaker 11: Was there?
Speaker 3: Like? I want to know what other like options there
Speaker 3: were that this beat out?
Speaker 11: Right? Okay, so that's the thing. I just got a
Speaker 11: call from a buddy and he was like, yo, he
Speaker 11: pulled me in on it. He he sent me into
Speaker 11: a group chat. I'm like, so we're putting forks on
Speaker 11: the ground. That was my first that was like what
Speaker 11: I thought too. I was like forks. But then someone
Speaker 11: sent me a video like they did it to someone's yard,
Speaker 11: and I was like, okay, that's pretty funny. So we
Speaker 11: just hopped on it and we were like all right,
Speaker 11: but it took oh man, like forty something people and
Speaker 11: we had just duffel bags and like trucks, like four
Speaker 11: trucks filled.
Speaker 3: It was like where did you source fifty thousand forks?
Speaker 10: Where?
Speaker 11: Yeah? We uh so we we cleared out our Sam's
Speaker 11: Club and our Costo and then we had.
Speaker 3: Walmart lastic forks.
Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, and we we had we made Walmart like
Speaker 11: restock on them like twice.
Speaker 3: What's fifty thousand about it? By forty that's like at
Speaker 3: least one thousand and four. That's over a thousand, Yeah,
Speaker 3: a little bit of a thousand forks per person. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think you guys kind of pranked yourselves with this one.
Speaker 3: That sounds that sounds grueling.
Speaker 11: I mean the outcome is pretty good.
Speaker 3: I mean we still don't know. I still don't get
Speaker 3: the outcome.
Speaker 11: Well, it's well, see it didn't go as planned because
Speaker 11: you know, we got caught and we had to pick
Speaker 11: them up. But like it looked funny, Like it really
Speaker 11: does look funny. Wow.
Speaker 3: How was it supposed to go?
Speaker 11: Well, it was supposed to go, you know, like we
Speaker 11: all just put the forks in leave the way we came,
Speaker 11: and then the aps like our teachers and counselors or something,
Speaker 11: or like maybe like the juniors have to go out
Speaker 11: there and pick them up. That was like the outcome
Speaker 11: because I imagine having to pick like putting them in
Speaker 11: like just like sticking and putting.
Speaker 3: By the way, putting them in sounds more grueling than
Speaker 3: taking them at Taking out fifty forks is way easier
Speaker 3: than I mean, did the majority of the work for this.
Speaker 16: It's definitely I feel like.
Speaker 3: This prank is very the ire was self inflicted as
Speaker 3: opposed to giving to someone else. I mean, that's just me.
Speaker 3: I may you know what, you know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3: What you say your name was Fletcher, Fletcher, I'll look
Speaker 3: it up. I'm gonna look up maybe maybe I'll I'll
Speaker 3: limit your field of forks. You don't have to. I'll
Speaker 3: find it on the internet. But if maybe I'll see
Speaker 3: it and I'll laugh and I'll get it then. But
Speaker 3: it described to me.
Speaker 11: If you're doing TikTok uh and probably just go to
Speaker 11: like friend.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much for for for calling in, Fletcher.
Speaker 3: I appreciate you.

Speaker 3: I in computer, I'm living.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Jack, are you're really good?
Speaker 15: You seemed a little cranky earlier?
Speaker 3: Did I a little?
Speaker 14: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I just wanted to do like a mental health check.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm doing a bit.
Speaker 7: Oh okay.
Speaker 3: This whole thing is a bit, a bit.
Speaker 6: Of what.
Speaker 3: You know, like a bit a bit of what like
Speaker 3: therapy Gecko. It's a joke, it's a bit.
Speaker 7: Okay. Well, I was doing a bit at you. I'm sorry, Hey, Lyle,

Speaker 6: I'm good?
Speaker 3: Well? Would you do today, Lilian?
Speaker 6: What did I do today?
Speaker 15: I got some bubble tea.
Speaker 6: Because I'm addicted to bubble teeth.
Speaker 7: It was really good.
Speaker 15: I had a really long worthday, so I was like,
Speaker 15: I'm gonna treat myself after work.
Speaker 3: What do you what do you work as?
Speaker 6: I work with children.
Speaker 15: I teach them how to read.
Speaker 3: It's an important skill, but it is getting faded out
Speaker 3: a little bit. It's becoming less and less important to
Speaker 3: know how to read.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know about that. I like reading.
Speaker 15: I haven't actually picked up a book in kind of
Speaker 15: a minute. But I did enjoy reading as a kids,
Speaker 15: so I.
Speaker 3: Kind of I like, I mean, you know, most kids,
Speaker 3: they get a lot of their information from you know,
Speaker 3: YouTube and from audio. It's important to know how to
Speaker 3: look at things and listen to them. But reading words,
Speaker 3: I you know, it's getting less and less important, I
Speaker 3: think in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 15: Yeah, you might be right. That's kind of sad that
Speaker 15: you say that, because I only.
Speaker 7: Recently realized that I wanted to go on this life
Speaker 7: path of teaching children to read.
Speaker 3: So maybe children how to watch YouTube videos.
Speaker 7: Oh they know how to do that better.
Speaker 2: Than I do.
Speaker 3: We say, exactly, see, they don't even need to read.
Speaker 15: I guess that's true.
Speaker 7: That's true.
Speaker 3: Ridiculous.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like I'm pretty ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Actually, really, what is ridiculous about you?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 15: My gosh, where to start? Honestly, I feel like I
Speaker 15: like to mess with people a little bit.
Speaker 6: Like I'm a big.
Speaker 15: Fan of pranks and just like just like not like
Speaker 15: I don't like pranks that are like really aggressive, like,
Speaker 15: but but I like to mess with people a little.
Speaker 3: Bit, Like did you hear the guy that we had earlier?
Speaker 3: Who uh.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, I really like, I really like that prank.
Speaker 3: Could you explain it to me? I had no idea
Speaker 3: what he was talking about.
Speaker 15: Okay, so imagine that you come to school. To imagine
Speaker 15: you're like a sophomore in high school and you're driving
Speaker 15: up to school and you're passing the football field.
Speaker 6: But wait, something's off.
Speaker 15: There's a huge field of silver. What is going on?
Speaker 14: And you realize plastic?
Speaker 15: Oh they're plastic. Okay, so it's a whole field of plastic.
Speaker 15: And then you're like, whoa, what the fork is that?
Speaker 15: It's fork?
Speaker 6: It's hilarious, you know what.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm glad for that guy's sake that I'm the
Speaker 3: crazy one here that doesn't understand what he what the
Speaker 3: fork thing is. I'm glad that's see. That's the thing
Speaker 3: is with everything, all you need is one pert. You
Speaker 3: just need one person to get it. That's all that matters.
Speaker 3: I'm happy for him that he has, at least to
Speaker 3: you that understands what that was.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, pranks were great.
Speaker 15: I mean my senior prank with a bunch of crickets
Speaker 15: that were left out in the hallway, which I.
Speaker 3: Think was not a very good prank crickets in the hallway,
Speaker 3: all right, that but that's a little bit that's like
Speaker 3: a that's less of a prank and more of like
Speaker 3: a plague.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Definitely more creative than the forks, because like if someone's
Speaker 3: because how do you get crickets? Where do you get
Speaker 3: him from?
Speaker 6: Pet coke?
Speaker 3: That's funny. I like the cricket thing better than the
Speaker 3: fork thing.
Speaker 15: I don't know, I don't know. Crickets are like yucky,
Speaker 15: I mean not like someone actually has to clean up crickets,
Speaker 15: like you have to call like an exterminator for that.
Speaker 3: That's I don't know exactly. It's a lot more work
Speaker 3: than the than the fork thing. Yeah, what that guy
Speaker 3: was going for with the fork thing was creating as
Speaker 3: much difficulty and stress and hardship as possible for the
Speaker 3: people that he was pranking. And he could have accomplished
Speaker 3: that much more with crickets in the hallway than with
Speaker 3: the forks.
Speaker 7: Maybe maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 15: I like, I like silly things like that that seem
Speaker 15: a little bit useless but are noticeable, Like those are
Speaker 15: my favorite kinds of pranks.
Speaker 3: Why was it I interrupted you you were talking about
Speaker 3: you were talking about the pranks that you like to
Speaker 3: pull off.
Speaker 15: Oh, I mean I like to do like silly pranks,
Speaker 15: like a classic one.
Speaker 6: I like to do.
Speaker 15: If I'm like invited to a party. I guess it's
Speaker 15: been a while since COVID and whatnot. But I'll go
Speaker 15: to the dollar store and buy like, you know.
Speaker 7: Those like big tubes of like.
Speaker 15: Farm animals or like dinosaurs or whatever, and I'll fill
Speaker 15: my purse with them, and then I'll get to the
Speaker 15: house and I'll just casually throughout the evening leave little
Speaker 15: plastic toys around the house, and they'll people will be like,
Speaker 15: where did this some horse come from? Where did this
Speaker 15: dinosaur come from? And no one knows that it's me,
Speaker 15: And it's like, again, really kind of dumb, but we're
Speaker 15: here giggling and everyone else.
Speaker 6: Is just confused.
Speaker 15: I mean, my pranking is purely ridiculous to me, and
Speaker 15: that's that's kind of why it's great.
Speaker 3: So you're kind of giving these people gifts, I.
Speaker 15: Guess, yeah, yeah, Well this is just like one example.
Speaker 15: I guess another example.
Speaker 3: Do you keep the do you keep the the do
Speaker 3: they get to keep the animal figures or do you
Speaker 3: take them back at the end of the night.
Speaker 15: I've only been discovered one time, and it was only
Speaker 15: because the party was kind of small, and uh I
Speaker 15: I wasn't being as sneaky about it as.
Speaker 6: It could have been.
Speaker 15: But it's it's something I do pretty.
Speaker 3: Often, and what happens when you got caught.
Speaker 15: I just like denied it for a while, and then
Speaker 15: the next time I was at the house, I saw
Speaker 15: like a little plastic dinosaur and I'm like, hey, I
Speaker 15: put that there, and everyone was like, oh, we knew it.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah, where did they come up with
Speaker 3: the idea to do that.
Speaker 15: I just I just like to fuck with people in
Speaker 15: like the least cruel way, you know, Like I just
Speaker 15: like to get like a little giggle out of people,
Speaker 15: just like make it makes me silly, you know, like
Speaker 15: like little little things.
Speaker 3: What was the other thing you were gonna tell me about?
Speaker 15: So the prank is actually this phone call.
Speaker 6: My name isn't actually Willian.
Speaker 7: It's actually a play on Lyle forever, so like the
Speaker 7: Lilian part, right Lyle and then forever like Lillian, like Gudzillian.
Speaker 15: It's kind of it's kind of a stretch.
Speaker 6: Anyways. The prank is is that.
Speaker 8: I actually know who you are, and you know who.
Speaker 15: I am, and I just wanted to say Hi, what's up. Well,
Speaker 15: we went to high school together, so I thought that
Speaker 15: the crickets would give it away. So I'm surprised you
Speaker 15: don't remember that.
Speaker 3: I never heard of crickets being what letter does our
Speaker 3: high school start with?
Speaker 7: It starts with an oh?
Speaker 3: We did not go to high school together.
Speaker 15: We didn't go to high school together.
Speaker 3: We did not go to high school together.
Speaker 7: Wait, then, how do I know you?
Speaker 3: What? What did? What letter does the second word in
Speaker 3: the in the high school you went to start with?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 15: Did you go to the other high school?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 7: Oh, okay, I did not realize.
Speaker 15: That I'm a little older than you, But that's okay because.
Speaker 7: My high school had that prank.
Speaker 15: Anyways, but we do know each other, and this is
Speaker 15: kind of a prank call. I just wanted to say
Speaker 15: hey and tell you that you're doing great and you're
Speaker 15: doing amazing and I'm really proud of you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Lyne. I appreciate that very much. And you
Speaker 3: know this was this was a nice prank.
Speaker 15: Okay, yeah, you.
Speaker 7: Too, have a good emile.
Speaker 4: Paul from Asia.
Speaker 3: Asia, Hi, what's up Asia Asia? How old are you?
Speaker 10: Dude, I am nineteen, you're nineteen. My heart is racing
Speaker 10: right behind and actually I didn't think this is actually
Speaker 10: going to happen.
Speaker 3: Who's your heart? What's your heart racing against.
Speaker 6: My chest?
Speaker 3: What did you do today? I worked all day as what.
Speaker 6: As a food runner at a bar?
Speaker 3: You ran food at a bar?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 3: What's the what's this this bar? What's the most delicious
Speaker 3: item they have on the menu?
Speaker 6: Pizza?
Speaker 3: That is it the bread or the sauce or the cheese.
Speaker 6: It's like thin crust pizza, so like the cheese and
Speaker 6: the sauce. Is this like even with the bread. It's
Speaker 6: like a good equation for everybody?
Speaker 3: And why is it weird?
Speaker 6: Is it? Why is it weird?
Speaker 3: You were saying it's weird and I interrupted you.
Speaker 6: Oh it's uh, oh, it's weird because it's an Irish
Speaker 6: it's an Irish pub. So it's like, why do they
Speaker 6: sell pizza?
Speaker 3: Is pizza not Irish?
Speaker 6: I don't think it's Irish. I thought it was like Italian?
Speaker 13: Who are you? I?
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't think I'm anybody, to be honest, you.
Speaker 3: Don't think you're anybody? No, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 6: I don't I just feel like we're kind of on
Speaker 6: a rock and nobody's kind of anyone.
Speaker 3: So if nobody's anyone, does that mean that anyone can
Speaker 3: be anyone? Theoretically possibly? So if I'm not me and
Speaker 3: I have no claim to my identity, does that mean
Speaker 3: that you could be me if you really wanted to.
Speaker 3: Because no one's already taking up the space.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, you're asking them really deep questions. I
Speaker 6: don't think i'm high enough for this conversation.
Speaker 3: Why do you have to be high for this conversation? Well,
Speaker 3: I think that would hurt you in that sense, because
Speaker 3: then you'd be all distracted and hungry.
Speaker 6: Actually, I, for some reason, whenever I smoke, I don't
Speaker 6: get hungry. I actually get really, uh paranoid.
Speaker 3: Really, what do you get paranoid about?
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. It's it's like everything. I overthink situations
Speaker 6: too much.
Speaker 3: M are you over What do you think about this
Speaker 3: situation that you're in right now?
Speaker 7: I'm terrified, you're terrified.
Speaker 3: I walk me through this real quick. I'm sorry. I
Speaker 3: want to hear what you're gonna say.
Speaker 6: Oh no, you're all right, you go, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: No, I had nothing to say.
Speaker 6: Oh all right, well, I don't know. I feel like
Speaker 6: sometimes people dial in because they have something they want
Speaker 6: to say, and sometimes you know, you don't think it's
Speaker 6: actually going to happen. You're like, you know, now, wow,
Speaker 6: it would be amazing, but it's not something you think
Speaker 6: that's actually possible. I didn't think this would happen tonight.
Speaker 3: Mmmm. So you are saying that sometimes people call into
Speaker 3: this stream because they have something to say, But do
Speaker 3: you not do you not believe that you have something
Speaker 3: to say?
Speaker 6: I feel, uh like maybe I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 6: I just ramble sometimes have a.
Speaker 3: Meaning deep within you asia for something to say. What
Speaker 3: do you think that would be?
Speaker 6: Anything?
Speaker 3: Anything? Before we go?
Speaker 6: I think I would say that I wish that, uh,
Speaker 6: the uh, the foundations of what we live off now
Speaker 6: like didn't exist. Like I wish that we didn't have
Speaker 6: like a currency, or we didn't have like all these
Speaker 6: rules that we like try to live by every day.
Speaker 6: Like I wish we could just go back to just
Speaker 6: being little cavemen when living off the land and we
Speaker 6: didn't have to worry about like beauty standards and wealth
Speaker 6: and all this stuff. Just surviving would be nice.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing is that you can't determine what society values.
Speaker 3: I mean, you can attempt to influence society, but that's
Speaker 3: a little hard. What you can do it is determined
Speaker 3: what is important to you, right, So you know, you
Speaker 3: might think, oh, man, society overvalues certain beauty standards and
Speaker 3: overvalues acquiring large amounts of else But in reality, I mean,
Speaker 3: that's nothing to do with you. You know, what do you
Speaker 3: value personally and how can you live and more aligned
Speaker 3: with those those values, and you should focus on that
Speaker 3: and not I wun't even pay attention to what society
Speaker 3: values and pay more attention to what you value and
Speaker 3: how you can better live towards those values, because like
Speaker 3: what society values is an illusion and you can't hold
Speaker 3: yourself to it.
Speaker 6: Oh that's very well said.
Speaker 3: Good luck Asia, Thank.
Speaker 6: You you too.

Speaker 3: Yes, I do remember that. How how have you been since?

Speaker 16: I don't know, that's that's the term they say, right,
Speaker 16: just to the person that in mind the struggle bus.
Speaker 3: Who are you, Charlie?
Speaker 16: Who am I? I'm a therapist, I'm a brother, I'm
Speaker 16: a son, I'm honest, I'm insecure, I'm curious, I'm jaded, thoughtful, jealous.
Speaker 16: The list goes on. I'm a lot of things.
Speaker 3: Who aren't you.
Speaker 16: Aren't I I think I'm not someone who wants to
Speaker 16: put bad out in the world. I want to try
Speaker 16: to do good.
Speaker 3: You know, I have a saying it is very bad
Speaker 3: to be very bad, and it is good to be good,
Speaker 3: and also it is good to not be bad and
Speaker 3: bad to not be good too, and then and it
Speaker 3: is also good to be good as well, and it
Speaker 3: is also very good and really quite good too.
Speaker 16: To be good, beautiful, aspiring, Gotta get tattoo of that.
Speaker 3: Thank you. So you're a real therapist. You're a licensed therapist. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what's that?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 3: I've had people tell me a lot. They're like, you
Speaker 3: should get a license to be a therapist, And I'm like,
Speaker 3: that's would be terrible.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, it's gotta up and down, but it's
Speaker 16: it's a struggle. But I mean the whole industry is
Speaker 16: really like to get licenses of pain. To go to
Speaker 16: school is very expensive. It takes a while. If you can't,
Speaker 16: you can only practice in the state that you get
Speaker 16: your license in. Really that's kind of limiting to Yeah,
Speaker 16: I mean you can't get license in another state, but
Speaker 16: the whole process and costs more money.
Speaker 3: What I need to know I need to know there?
Speaker 3: What do you learn in the process of getting Like, like,
Speaker 3: how what do you know the people who are not
Speaker 3: licensed to know that you use to do the job
Speaker 3: of therapy correctly because I've had terrible therapists. Every therapist
Speaker 3: I've had is a licensed therapist, and some of them
Speaker 3: are just terrible.
Speaker 16: Yeah, there is no secret. Like the things they teach
Speaker 16: in school, it's like if you're to go like you're
Speaker 16: mentioned the other guy like high school or college or whatever,
Speaker 16: it's like there is.
Speaker 13: No secret to it.
Speaker 16: It's like if you maybe even improved this statistically, it's
Speaker 16: like if you cannot connect, it's like a human being,
Speaker 16: you're not going to be affected despite how many quote
Speaker 16: unquote years of experience that you have. Yeah, so there
Speaker 16: really is no secret to it. It's all about being
Speaker 16: a good person and being able to connect the person
Speaker 16: in front of you. That's really what it boils down to.
Speaker 16: You stry to bust the bubble. But you know that's
Speaker 16: that's really what it boils down to. That you can
Speaker 16: have all these acronyms and specific theories that have been
Speaker 16: developed by master therapists. That's like it really boils down
Speaker 16: to human connection.
Speaker 3: Damn.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: See it's different like like if you were like a
Speaker 3: like a like a doctor, like a surgeon, like a surgeon,
Speaker 3: And that's sort of what I'm getting at now. I'm
Speaker 3: not like trying to say anything. I'm I'm acquiring of you,
Speaker 3: you know, like like uh no, I'm serious. Like like
Speaker 3: a a surgeon is a licensed surgeon. They have a
Speaker 3: license to cut you open and move stuff around because
Speaker 3: they have the hard skill of they know where your
Speaker 3: tits are in relation to your hearts and your intra
Speaker 3: veins and your stuff, and they know how to shift
Speaker 3: it all together. And they read the book about how
Speaker 3: to make the heart good and stuff. They know that
Speaker 3: the logistics of what they're doing. But there's not a
Speaker 3: lot of logistics to therapy in that same sense.
Speaker 16: No, that's true. I mean I guess the only thing
Speaker 16: you would have on that is that you're paying someone
Speaker 16: to with the aim that they wouldn't be an asshole
Speaker 16: to you, like they are trying to do what they
Speaker 16: know is best to help you out whatever you're struggling with.
Speaker 16: You know, it's kind of roll the dice. But you
Speaker 16: can't talk to your friends about everything. And some people
Speaker 16: said they don't have ends or family to talk to
Speaker 16: you about what's going on, and holding that in is
Speaker 16: not good for anyone.
Speaker 3: But do you at least have like a technique of
Speaker 3: some kind or how would you describe that technique?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 16: DBT, so like cognitive behavioral therapy. Yeah, it's essentially got
Speaker 16: roots like a philosophy called stoicism as well, So essentially
Speaker 16: focus on the thoughts. The thoughts influencer actions. Your actions
Speaker 16: and the like influence behavior. So if you can influence
Speaker 16: how someone thinks, you can influence how they view the
Speaker 16: world and hopefully twist that a little bit to make
Speaker 16: sure they're not interpreting everything as, for example, a threat.
Speaker 16: You know, if I'm viewing the everything I'm going around
Speaker 16: me as a threat and guess what good things to
Speaker 16: come my way? And I won't even see how it's
Speaker 16: always beyond on guard and hostile.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 16: So that's my kind of bread and Butter's like it's
Speaker 16: focused on the thoughts a.
Speaker 13: Little bit here.
Speaker 3: Does that help you in your own personal life as well?
Speaker 16: Yeah, i'd say so. I mean, you know, think about
Speaker 16: how I was in high school for example, I probably
Speaker 16: could have used a lapit of that touch myself. You
Speaker 16: know the fact that you know everyone's done out to
Speaker 16: get you kind of thing. The world's gonna be the world?
Speaker 16: You know, what can you do with what's in front
Speaker 16: of you? What can you control? For example, you know,
Speaker 16: focus on what you can control versus what you cannot control.
Speaker 16: That right there, it leads to a lot of strength
Speaker 16: with a lassulk.
Speaker 3: I agree. I like that. Yeah, well, thank you so
Speaker 3: much for sharing.
Speaker 1: Charlie my pleasure here got go.
Speaker 3: I really need to I heard that, like if I
Speaker 3: could get guy you know, I've thought about this. I've
Speaker 3: thought about this. If Guy Co came to me and
Speaker 3: they were like, we'll give I'll give you a bunch
Speaker 3: of money to put to sponsor your stream, I've thought
Speaker 3: about it. If I would do it, because but then,
Speaker 3: but then the joke, like the Guy Co Gecko jokes
Speaker 3: that I get all the time, they'll just they'll never stop.
Speaker 3: I will forever be the get the guy co Gecko guy.
Speaker 16: Yeah, but I mean if you have the opportunity, might
Speaker 16: a little like profit from it, you know, like, what
Speaker 16: do you got to lose? You're gonna get those jokes anyway.
Speaker 16: They might as well capitalize on it.
Speaker 3: True. True, I think you've shot well. Thank you for
Speaker 3: the motivation.
Speaker 16: You got it. I believe in you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Charlie. You have a good rest of the night.
Speaker 16: Like I do too. Man, take me easy.

Speaker 3: fuck it when you're even when you're like forty or something.
Speaker 3: Are you really good? Are you gonna do? You feel
Speaker 3: like you're gonna resonate with all the same things that
Speaker 3: resonated with you at twenty four? You know, I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, true, true to all into your body.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, true, But it's like, for example, most of
Speaker 5: my tattoos aren't. This was the only me tattoo that
Speaker 5: I really wanted to do because I gotta tell you,
Speaker 5: my dog. The reason why I wanted to do the tattoo.
Speaker 5: It was because of my dog.

Speaker 5: like the last Uh, I'm the guy from Puerto Rico.
Speaker 5: But anyway, uh, like the last time we were calling,
Speaker 5: it was really fun and everything, but like, uh yeah,
Speaker 5: as I was saying about the Shiva, uh, I was
Speaker 5: kind of broke his dog really just like helped me,
Speaker 5: uh basically be a better person. Uh, helped to love
Speaker 5: myself before I could help other people, and just like basically, yeah,
Speaker 5: I don't know not have a dependency on other people
Speaker 5: one of the other.
Speaker 3: Is it like one is the dog and the other
Speaker 3: one is like fucking tweety bird or like a bikini
Speaker 3: girl or like are they all things that are real things?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 5: One is from the Legend of Zelda that's still video games,
Speaker 5: but it has a rose because my mother actually gave
Speaker 5: me a game Boy at Vance for the first time
Speaker 5: with the Legend of Zelda cartridge, so I kind of
Speaker 5: have a rose to commemorate her. And the tattoo of
Speaker 5: the first video game she bought me, Star Wars because
Speaker 5: of my dad. And the rest are just yeah, like
Speaker 5: significant tattoos that kind of resonate with me in my
Speaker 5: past and have really gate deep well yeah deep meaning.
Speaker 3: I always I mean I'm not personally a fan of tattoos,
Speaker 3: not like for other people, but for me, I would
Speaker 3: rather just if I really like something, I'll just get
Speaker 3: a T shirt with it on there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, obviously, And like I completely respect that, like
Speaker 5: I people always, it's good to know that people like

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited.
Speaker 3: Don't get too excited. This might not go well.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not good to hear. Why not, I'm afraid.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's the truth. This might not go well.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's something to be you know, emotional about.
Speaker 3: That's it's just the truth. Every caller that's ever called in.
Speaker 3: You know, I might not go well. But here's the
Speaker 3: thing is, what's how do you define going? Is something
Speaker 3: going well?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, then that's great. I mean, so why are you nervous?
Speaker 3: Are you nervous that's won't go well? Are you afraid?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I'm a little high.
Speaker 3: Everyone's been high tonight? Really, Yeah, you're like the third
Speaker 3: person in a row that's that's very high. Yeah, So
Speaker 3: what's up with you?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Not much. I'm just.
Speaker 3: How high are you going to? Scale? From one to ten?
Speaker 1: I got a seven?
Speaker 3: You're seven out of ten. That's pretty high, honestly. Yeah,
Speaker 3: all right, m hmm. How how long have you been
Speaker 3: watching the stream?
Speaker 15: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, it's only been like a week since I've kind
Speaker 1: of rediscovered you. One of my friends told me he
Speaker 1: called you like a little over a year ago maybe,
Speaker 1: and I watched you for a little bit. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then I kind of forgot about you. But I found
Speaker 1: you on TikTok and I remembered about it, and so here.
Speaker 2: I am m hm.
Speaker 3: M hmm. Any like, it's totally okay if there's not,
Speaker 3: But is there any like a thing that you wanted
Speaker 3: to talk about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, I'm like, I'm kind of afraid that all
Speaker 1: of my friends actually hate me.
Speaker 3: Ah, that's true.
Speaker 1: And wait what it's true?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 3: Not like, no, I'm not true. Like what I meant
Speaker 3: to say was, oh, yeah, I get that. But what
Speaker 3: came out that's true?
Speaker 11: Got it?
Speaker 1: That makes more sense.
Speaker 3: What were you gonna say?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know, just that I feel like I'm really
Speaker 1: annoying to them.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: Do you do you think that you are annoying?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Kind of.
Speaker 3: Do you do you like that about yourself? Or do
Speaker 3: you not like to know about yourself?
Speaker 11: I don't like that.
Speaker 3: Why do you think you're annoying?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just there's like no real logic
Speaker 1: or reason to it. It's just something I've been thinking
Speaker 1: about a lot.
Speaker 3: There's no logic or reason to it. Whatsoever? Do you
Speaker 3: do annoying things?
Speaker 11: Now?
Speaker 3: If there's no well okay, well look, if there's no
Speaker 3: logic or reason to it, then you're probably not annoying.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 11: That's true.
Speaker 1: It's a good, good point.
Speaker 3: A lot of times, you know, people have these idiosyncricities
Speaker 3: that some people think are annoying, and then other people
Speaker 3: think are endearing. Yeah, and you're gonna have to find
Speaker 3: the people out there who jive with you. And you know,
Speaker 3: being rejected or having other people think you're annoying does
Speaker 3: not necessarily mean that you are cursed for everyone to
Speaker 3: hate you all the time, but just might mean that
Speaker 3: you who are not very compatible with those people, whether
Speaker 3: they be friends or romantic people. But I guess what's
Speaker 3: most important, I think is what you think of yourself.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I think of myself. I'm eighteen.
Speaker 1: I'm going to college next semester, and I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: going to be roommating with this guy I work with
Speaker 1: and so, but I kind of feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: the same thing that I'm annoying to him, and it's
Speaker 1: kind of like, I don't know, then, making me really
Speaker 1: afraid to go to college.
Speaker 3: What do you think of him?
Speaker 1: I think he's cool. I've worked at him for a while.
Speaker 1: I worked with him at my old job, and then
Speaker 1: we both applied to our new job at the same time.
Speaker 3: This is an interesting subject. I think about this a lot.
Speaker 3: I probably thought the same thing when I was when
Speaker 3: I was eighteen, not necessarily with annoyingness, but with like
Speaker 3: you know, insert trait here, insert perceived a negative trait here.
Speaker 3: I think people think about me, you know, well, I
Speaker 3: think it's one of those things that I mean, it's
Speaker 3: definitely difficult when you're eighteen, but I think it comes
Speaker 3: with age. I think you care less as you get
Speaker 3: older what other people think about you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I kind of feel like I'm very vain in
Speaker 1: that way too, Like I'm always focusing on what people
Speaker 1: are paying attention to me and to make sure I
Speaker 1: don't like do something that would be perceived as weird
Speaker 1: to them or something like that, you know, just making
Speaker 1: these rational, like completely irrational judgments of my because I
Speaker 1: think other people are are judging me for them.
Speaker 3: Do you let me ask you. Do you judge other
Speaker 3: people a lot? No?
Speaker 1: I mean maybe a little, but I kind of try
Speaker 1: not to, Like I'm I'm friends with everybody, kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll try to be nice to everybody and
Speaker 1: at least get to know them whenever I meet them.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you don't judge other people, you try to
Speaker 3: be nice to other people. Yeah, all your words, right,
Speaker 3: uh huh. So why do you think you're nine?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, like believe that you're putting in these these
Speaker 3: good faith efforts.
Speaker 1: I feel like I talk a lot and that people
Speaker 1: like maybe like I talked too loud.
Speaker 11: I have.
Speaker 1: I have ADHD, but I didn't like find that out
Speaker 1: until just a few months ago. So I kind of
Speaker 1: went my whole life with just kind of being untreated.
Speaker 3: To that and not you know, have you untreated for it?
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, Actually, have you talked
Speaker 3: about this with a real therapist?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 3: I haven't, should do that. I'm very curious what they
Speaker 3: would say anytime I get into these conversations. And by
Speaker 3: the way, you know, I'm totally not blowing you off
Speaker 3: because I think about this, this this actually is a
Speaker 3: this whole thing I I I love. I love these
Speaker 3: these topics because you know, I've dealt with it and
Speaker 3: a lot of people deal with it, and it's just
Speaker 3: I want so badly I want for myself and then
Speaker 3: I want for other people just to fucking not give
Speaker 3: a shit what other people think. And I know that
Speaker 3: when you're young, like you care more what other people think, right,
Speaker 3: But to double down it be more annoying run around
Speaker 3: campus with bells and whistles and and act fucking talk
Speaker 3: like pee we harm and and shit, I would.
Speaker 1: I would hate myself. Well, I hate the idea that's
Speaker 1: like standing out why. I don't know, just because I
Speaker 1: don't want to call attention to myself, because because I
Speaker 1: don't want too many people to pay attention to me.
Speaker 3: You know, I understand that I kind of feel similar,
Speaker 3: which I know doesn't make sense because I'm streaming and ship.
Speaker 3: But yeah, what are you going to say?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I'll just like if I'm standing somewhere, like
Speaker 1: in a line for something or you know, whatever it
Speaker 1: is I'm doing just standing there, I'm constantly worried about
Speaker 1: the way I'm standing because I think, like I'm standing
Speaker 1: just abnormally or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, m I want to think about this more because
Speaker 3: I if I can tell you this, it's like I
Speaker 3: have felt that way before, and I definitely wouldn't say
Speaker 3: that like I'm talking about myself. But I'm trying to
Speaker 3: use it as like an example because I've felt it
Speaker 3: before and I know I've gotten better at it, so
Speaker 3: I know it's possible, and I have to think more
Speaker 3: about like how it is done. But there's a lot
Speaker 3: of like inner work to be done in like discovery
Speaker 3: of like this like inner confidence you have to learn
Speaker 3: how to build Yeah, where you just don't care what
Speaker 3: other people think. I know it's hard, but it is possible.
Speaker 1: That's good to hear.
Speaker 3: And you're on the eighteen right right, Absolutely, we'll get
Speaker 3: better with age. So that's what I'll tell you at
Speaker 3: the very least is that I think as you get older,
Speaker 3: you'll care what let other people think of you less.
Speaker 3: So why wait?
Speaker 1: That makes sense?
Speaker 3: And go ahead and go talk to a real therapist too.
Speaker 3: See what they say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tried. I tried to set up in a
Speaker 1: point with a therapist and like I called their office
Speaker 1: or whatever, and then they said they're gonna send me
Speaker 1: an email about something, and then I never got the email.
Speaker 1: And I haven't tried.
Speaker 3: Them fucking therapists. Yeah, we'll try again, I will. Would
Speaker 3: you say your name was Andy? Good luck? Andy, Thank
Speaker 3: you for calling man.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 10: All?
Speaker 4: From Isabella?
Speaker 3: Isabella? Hi Isabella?
Speaker 5: Hi?
Speaker 10: How are you?
Speaker 3: I'm good? How are you?
Speaker 8: I'm good?
Speaker 3: What did you do today?
Speaker 8: Homework? I'm in college. I also had, like I'm in authority,
Speaker 8: so I had an exact meeting.
Speaker 3: What goes on at these executive meetings?
Speaker 14: We just like we arguing each other.
Speaker 3: About what do you argue about today today?
Speaker 8: Well, our school is hosting this thing called Greek Week,
Speaker 8: and some of us think it's a bad idea because
Speaker 8: our campus was just shut down because like a lot
Speaker 8: of our students have like COVID right now, So the
Speaker 8: school still wants to have Greek Week, but like some
Speaker 8: of us are like, we shouldn't have Greek Weeks.
Speaker 3: What is involved in having Greek Week? What is the event?
Speaker 8: Basically, it's like a whole week of competition. So there's
Speaker 8: like one day where we like do this like silly dance.
Speaker 8: There's another day where we have like a scavenger hunt,
Speaker 8: so there's another day when we like paint banners. So
Speaker 8: it involves like a lot of gathering. So, like we
Speaker 8: were just trying to figure out exactly what we want
Speaker 8: to say to the school about why we shouldn't have
Speaker 8: Greek Week.
Speaker 3: Do you think we should have Greek Week?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: Oh, they should have Greek Week.
Speaker 8: No, I don't think it's a good idea, especially since
Speaker 8: we got like shut down for COVID.
Speaker 3: What made you want to join a sorority in the
Speaker 3: first place.
Speaker 8: Well, I'm an out of state students, so like I
Speaker 8: go to this really small university, so like a lot
Speaker 8: of the students already know each other from like just
Speaker 8: being from the same area. So I was like, oh,
Speaker 8: I guess I'm going to like make some friends.
Speaker 3: That actually sounds horrible. I don't know why anyone would
Speaker 3: ever want to do that. Not what you do, well,
Speaker 3: I mean, I still like, actually no kind of what
Speaker 3: you did too, because the people who already went to
Speaker 3: the school, who are going to the place where they
Speaker 3: already know every one, I don't know why I would
Speaker 3: want to do that, because you know, the whole point
Speaker 3: of going to college is meeting new people. But then
Speaker 3: you don't you feel like everyone already knows each other,
Speaker 3: they already have their like group of friends formed or whatever.
Speaker 8: So I guess I think it was really like fun
Speaker 8: for me to come, and I was like happy to
Speaker 8: get to know people because like I'm from Norrith and
Speaker 8: meet like schools in the South, So I was like
Speaker 8: happy to meet all these people and like learn about
Speaker 8: this thing. But it was hard to like sort of
Speaker 8: make friends with people who already kind of knew each other,
Speaker 8: which is sort of why I was like, oh, I'll
Speaker 8: join a sorority because like they.
Speaker 14: Have to talk to me.
Speaker 3: Really. Yeah, A lot of people say that it's like
Speaker 3: buying friends. What do you think about that?
Speaker 14: I agree? I one hundred percent agree.
Speaker 8: Like when people are like, oh, you're in a story,
Speaker 8: you buy your friends.
Speaker 14: I'm like, I do, I do buy?
Speaker 3: I know what. I respect that. I respect that a
Speaker 3: lot of people would would be on the defensive about that,
Speaker 3: but I like that you openly admit it. Let me
Speaker 3: ask you something, Isabelle, are you ridiculous?
Speaker 7: Very much?
Speaker 11: So?
Speaker 14: I'm not gonna say I'm not.
Speaker 3: Why do you believe that you are very much so ridiculous?
Speaker 8: I'm really really high strung, Like I need to have
Speaker 8: a plan for everything, Like every little thing. I have
Speaker 8: a plan, Like I make it to do list every morning,
Speaker 8: and if I like, don't check something off my to
Speaker 8: do list, like I feel bad.
Speaker 3: That's very type A yes, do you do everything on
Speaker 3: your to do list today?
Speaker 8: I do do everything on my to do list today.
Speaker 3: That's impressive. Honestly, I constantly always expect at least one
Speaker 3: thing on the to do list and not make it.
Speaker 8: I guess maybe, are you like putting things that are
Speaker 8: like realistic on your.
Speaker 7: To do list?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think I just put too many of them
Speaker 3: on there.
Speaker 14: I feel like that too.
Speaker 8: Sometimes I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry, that was like
Speaker 8: a timer.
Speaker 6: Did you hear that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: Okay, good?
Speaker 8: But yeah, so I feel like I'm really careful that I
Speaker 8: like to do this. But I'm friends with a lot
Speaker 8: of people who are like very go with the flow.
Speaker 8: So sometimes they're like, Isabella, it's okay to like let
Speaker 8: go and not like be so married to doing everything
Speaker 8: like that.
Speaker 3: Hmm, So are you is that an active effort on
Speaker 3: your part to try to be less type A?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I feel like, you know, sometimes it's good to be
Speaker 8: type A and other times it's not. Like this weekend,
Speaker 8: I want to try and do something spontaneous.
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do?
Speaker 7: I'm not sure yet.
Speaker 8: That's I feel like that's part of being spontaneous. You
Speaker 8: don't really know until you like wake up and decide.
Speaker 3: See, that was the test. That was what I was
Speaker 3: going to tell That was what I was going to
Speaker 3: tell you if you had already had a plan.
Speaker 8: I guess I'm glad to ask.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much for calling in, Isabella. You
Speaker 3: have a good night, you.
Speaker 4: Too, all From Natalie.
Speaker 3: Natalie, Hello, what's up? Have you ever spoken before?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 14: Actually, uh I saw your stream or whatever like some
Speaker 14: months ago, but I first tried calling like two days ago,
Speaker 14: but everyone took up all the calls, so I missed it.
Speaker 14: But I really really wanted to talk about the question
Speaker 14: that you had for the last dream that was.
Speaker 13: Sorry when it's sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 14: So the question was what's something that other people aren't?
Speaker 14: What's something I think I'm good at that other people aren't.
Speaker 3: Yes, the question was what what's difficult for others but
Speaker 3: easy for you? You have a cat?
Speaker 14: Yes, he's on me right now.
Speaker 3: Hello cat? What is Natalie? What is difficult for other
Speaker 3: people but easy for you?
Speaker 14: Painting and drawing? Yeah?
Speaker 3: So about to go in to promote your art Instagram?
Speaker 14: That wasn't the intentions, but I can were you. I
Speaker 14: was going to say, yeah, I'm about to start art school.
Speaker 14: But it's kind of nerve wracking because I don't know.
Speaker 14: I used to think I was just gonna be like
Speaker 14: a mass teacher or something, because people were always like, oh,
Speaker 14: you're going to be starving artists.
Speaker 3: But are you going into debt?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 14: I guess I'll have student debt. I feel like I
Speaker 14: should know but yeah, someone says art school is a
Speaker 14: waste of money. I feel like it kind of is.
Speaker 3: But do you feel like it's a waste of money?
Speaker 3: Where are you going?
Speaker 14: Well, I guess because it doesn't feel like it's my money,
Speaker 14: and like, I don't know, I want to like meet
Speaker 14: people who are also interested and the same.
Speaker 3: Thing as me, is it Are your parents paying for it?
Speaker 3: Is the government paying for it?
Speaker 14: A cumbination of both.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was my one sort of caveat for college.
Speaker 3: If you can get other people I'm pretty anti college,
Speaker 3: but if you can get other people to pay for it,
Speaker 3: that's the moves. Exactly, what do you want to do
Speaker 3: out of arts school? Do you have any id? If
Speaker 3: you could wave your magic wand Natalie and do anything,
Speaker 3: what would you do?
Speaker 5: Ah?
Speaker 14: It's so hard, honestly, maybe like an animator. I've been
Speaker 14: thinking about that in the past couple of days. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 14: Initially I was signed up to learn like fine arts
Speaker 14: because I wanted to have like my paintings and museums.
Speaker 14: But then I realized that my style kind of fits
Speaker 14: more with like illustration, So I think I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 14: stick with illustration.
Speaker 3: Was the last thing you illustrated.
Speaker 14: Ooh, last thing I drew I'm working on a painting
Speaker 14: right now is a painting of me biting like a
Speaker 14: cow's utter.
Speaker 3: It's a cow's utter, like something from real life experience
Speaker 3: that you did.
Speaker 11: Is it.
Speaker 14: No? No, I've never Honestly, I don't think I've seen
Speaker 14: a cow in real life. Oh no, I'm I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've seen a cow in real
Speaker 3: life either. No, there's no way we had to have
Speaker 3: seen cows in real life.
Speaker 14: And all right, at least one. But yeah, so why did.
Speaker 3: You pick yourself biting a cow's utter?
Speaker 14: Well, it's the part two. The original piece that I
Speaker 14: made like two years ago was myself licking a cow's utter.
Speaker 14: And so the point behind that was, like, at the time,
Speaker 14: I felt passionate about like femininity in a sense, and
Speaker 14: how like sometimes I feel like women feel like they
Speaker 14: need to do gross and disgusting shit, or really anyone,
Speaker 14: not specifically women, but do gross and disgusting shit that
Speaker 14: they normally wouldn't do, but in order to like please
Speaker 14: other people. So I kind of wanted to like have
Speaker 14: myself licking an utter to show that like it's shocking.
Speaker 3: So in the piece is the thing that you're doing
Speaker 3: that other people that you're doing. So in the piece,
Speaker 3: it's supposed to be that you're licking this otter to
Speaker 3: please other people. Yeah, I guess to please the cow
Speaker 3: oh like sexually?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 14: And yeah.
Speaker 3: Do cows receive sexual pleasure from people stimulating their utters?
Speaker 14: I think so. Also, I realized that the concept kind
Speaker 14: of dumb because cows are female, But I mean it
Speaker 14: still makes sense.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's why you're going to art school
Speaker 3: is to make your paintings have meaning.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and be nasty.
Speaker 3: Well, I wish you the best of like a hope
Speaker 3: that your cowidar gets a name.
Speaker 2: Thank you, You have a good night, you too.
Speaker 3: Neverally Can goes on the line taking your phone calls
Speaker 3: every night. Never Be goes doing his eye. He's teaching
Speaker 3: you cloud in the livery life blood. He's not really
Speaker 3: an expert.
