Speaker 1: Oh he's a polygamous now bunch, he said. What started

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: as a friendship has now developed into something more meaningful.

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: He's so besotted with the floating object, he says he

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: sleeps beside them, kisses them good night, and says, yes,

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: I am sexually attracted to them. He says, every morning

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: kiss to my balloons that sleep besore, and vice versa.

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: He says, I make out with my balloons. He has

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: said I like their presence and warmth. And I share

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: my intimate feelings with my balloons, and vice versa. When

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: you're in love, he said, you spend a lot of

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: time together and except all their flaws, like them being

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: full of hot air. He communicates with the balloons through

25
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: telepathy and dreams, and they share each and every thought, feeling,

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: and emotion. He actually proposed to one of the balloons

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, a male balloon. He said, since

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: I've confessed my love for my balloons, my life has

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: changed for the better, so strong. I can't live without him.

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: He's a gay guy, A gay I don't know. I

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: don't know if all the balloons are gay, but he has.

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: He's specifically really in love with one male balloon. I

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: can talk to them. I take them shopping about, all

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: the balloons for a walk in the garden. They should

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: have the freedom and the chance to see the world.

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: And that's the reason I walk them everywhere, he said.

37
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: And this is the hard stuff to hear, that while

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: their love is strong, the balloons are fragile, and accidents

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: can happen. The balloons are as fragile as a human baby.

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: He said. I need to protect him from all danger

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: from sharp objects, from changes in temperature to suffocation, and sometimes,

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: despite his watchful eye, the balloons pop. He said. One day,

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: while inflating a few balloons with a pump, a balloon

44
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: got popped. I cried for the loss, and after that

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: I became more careful when there's a sudden death of balloons,

46
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: he said, I try to resurrect them by reinflating them,

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: and if I can't, I give them a funeral by

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: digging and covering them with the soil. Really they deflated

49
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: that when they because he'd have to make a bigger hole,

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't he. I think so, Well, by the time they're over,

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: they're over the perish store, or they've deflated. I don't

52
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: know if he's into balloon animals, would that be best reality?

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: I need more information. I wonder if he looks at

54
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Joe Biden shooting those balloons out of the sky, that's

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: my people. Look, these are the people in your neighborhood,

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: the people that you meet each tape. That's right,
