Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Therapy Gecko podcast. I'm Lyle
and I have I am a gecko and I'm talking
to people on the phone. And I used to not
record intros to the podcast. I used to just get
right into them. And a lot of the reason for
the for that is that often I think intros are stupid.
I thinks are a waste of time. I hate when

(00:21):
I fucking click on a podcast and it has like
three minutes of like today, my guest is whatever, and
then it's got like a little little little like intercuts
of like parts of their conversation, you know what I mean.
It's like, just if we could just start the podcast
at the point when the people are are talking without

(00:43):
a whole intro, and you probably sit through ads right
when you're listening to this, so it's like you had
to see you had there. First there was a bunch
of ads, and then there's like a whole podcast, and
then there's like a whole intro to the podcast. And
then by the time you actually you know, get into

(01:06):
the interview or whatever the podcast you're listening to is,
you're forty five minutes in. Already your commute is over.
It's time to go to work. You know, the laundry
has been folded, you know, your run is over right,
whatever it is you were doing. So that's why I
don't like, you know, big long Rambley podcast intros where

(01:31):
people just trail off and talk about nothing. You know,
I hate when people do that. All right, let's get
into the phone calls. Hello, Hi, what is your name?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Obi? I actually saying there's like, I'm from Czech Republic,
So it takes a long time before I can hear
and I can respond. So I hope that's not a problem.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Is that how I don't know if that's how cell
phones work.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, that's yeah. I well, I've been seeing there's like
one second before I respond to or I feel like it.
Maybe it's not. I'm not really genius.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, you don't have to be. Hey, listen, you don't
have to be a genius to be doing this, to
be doing whatever it is we're doing. That's okay, Wait
a minute.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, I'm kind of tweaking right now. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
You're kind of tweaking.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, yeah, I'm you know, I'm on the spot.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
There's no you're not on the you are not on
the spot. You are on This is nothing. There is
no spot, there is no there's no stakes to this.
You were when you're when you if you you know,
like when you take the bar exam, you're on the spot, right,
But this is not anything. This isn't it. This isn't

(03:01):
a job interview, This isn't it's not a bar exam.
This isn't even it's not it where, it's not a date.
It's not anything. This is no this is there's no
stakes to this. This is just whatever.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's Yeah, I mean yeah, I feel like the stakes
are like when you try to call in so many
times as I do, then it's kind of you know,
I invested so much time and stuff. Oh there's going
to be all right.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Uh oh well all right then let's let's go down
that road.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Right.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
You said you invested a lot of time into calling
this show. You say, yeah, why do you?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Why do you not so much?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
But how much time do you think you invested in
calling this show?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Maybe like two hours?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Okay, So for the past two hours you've been calling,
calling the phone number of it over again.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
No, no, no, like when I added up like multiple streams, right.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, So it's been a two hour investment in total.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
And this I'm gonna say, this conversation that we are
having right now, the stakes you're telling me, the stakes
of this conversation right now is that this conversation is
the the r OI the return on investment of two
whole hours of your life? Yeah, okay, is there any other?

(04:39):
Is there anything else at stake? You believe?

Speaker 3 (04:45):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
No, drively no, okay?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
What is two hours? What is two hours of your
life worth to you? Uh?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Probably like two hundred setub shorts to hundred what YouTube shorts?
You know, like TikTok about on YouTube?

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Two hundred YouTube shorts? Oh yeah, I guess, yeah yeah, sure, yeah,
you could watch two hundred YouTube But what's the return
on investment in of that? What's the what do you
get after watching two hours of YouTube shorts?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh? I just not that much right there? Stuff on there?

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah? Yeah, return I'm sorry I keep talking over you
go ahead?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
No? Oh, no, you go ahead.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Return on the idea of return on your investment is
an interesting concept. I fully believe in it. I believe
that my my day to day life is heavily influenced
by returns on previous investments. I have made with with
my time in both a lot of in both ways

(06:10):
that are extremely positive and extremely negative. Like I've spent
a lot of time I've I wonder, I'm really I'm
trying to calculate over the course of my life how
many hours I've spent eating ice cream. It's probably a lot.
And as.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Can I ask you, when you eat ice cream, do
like fully just eat ice cream and do nothing else,
or do like do multiple things? Because I can't imagine
do you really just eat ice cream and fully experience it.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
You bring up an interesting point, which is that, Okay,
when I'm calculating my total ice cream eating time, is
it the is it? I'm gonna go ahead and say
that if I'm holding the spoon and I am in
the process of either digging the ice cream out or
putting it in my mouth or it's in my mouth,

(07:10):
I'm gonna say that that's all ice cream time. But
if I like take a little bite of ice cream
and then I put it down and I, you know,
talk to someone for a second that that I don't
count that as ice cream time. I'm going to count
it just as yeggs the time that is spent either
in the process of well, shit, I mean of ROI, right,
Like this is everything is ROI. Everything is because you know,

(07:34):
I had to walk to the store to buy and
buy the and I had to go find the ice
cream and I had to buy it and I had
to bring it to my house. That's all ice cream time.
So how much time have I invested in the procurement
and consumption of ice cream?

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, but but I think they're like two things you
are doing, Like you physically go to the store, right,
but you can also, like I don't know, listen to music.
So how do you come to time? Because you're doing
multiple things at once.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
So this gets me to my ultimate point, which is
that and actually I want to be careful with this
because I don't fully agree with what I'm about to say. Uh.
Part of me thinks that, like the whole idea of like, uh,
wasted time is kind of stupid because like, what what's

(08:37):
the art? Like when you're eighty years old, right, it's
like you just you just keep your time. You keep
being like, well, what's this time going to lead up to?
And you do that forever and then you die. So
it's like when do you actually the point the point
of the time was in the time itself, not necessarily
what the time led up to. By the way, I

(09:00):
don't fully believe that, but it's a it's an idea. Yeah,
I mean, I don't fully believe that because my again,
my day to day life, part of the A lot
of the time and my day to day life that
I fully enjoy is is created. The situations for me
to enjoy that time were created because of ways in

(09:20):
which I spent my time in the past. So I
don't fully believe that. But also, if you live but
if you live only by r o I and you
only live by what's the return on investment of every
fucking second of my day? Then you die without then
what did you what were you ever doing?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, it's pretty stupid. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
So so again that's why this conversation has no stakes
because and also even if it's even if we're gonna
live in ROI land, it's like two hours of your time.
I I returned to the question what's two hours of
your time?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
With yeah, uh, well I don't think I could copelate it.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Okay, right now, all right, So there's no mistake with this,
there's no reason to be nervous there's no way that
you could funck this up. This is just whatever it was.
There's no this doesn't need to pay off to anything.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
For me.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'm just a huge then.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
For me, thank you. I appreciate that, and thank you
for having this conversation with me. I'm actually I'm gonna
actually say two things that are related to that are
meta related to the conversation that we're having right now.
For me, this conversation has multiple rois. One is I
want this to I want this to be an engage

(10:57):
in conversation for a variety of reasons, mainly because there's
a bunch of people who listen to this podcast and
I want I want the I want the podcast to
be an enjoyable listen for those people. And then two

(11:21):
so and so, I and so. Actually I'm operating on
both levels at this point because I get multiple returns
on my investment of time and having this conversation with
you right now and recording this podcast in many ways.
You know, I do this for a living, so this

(11:42):
is this is my job. We have this conversation right now. Wait, sorry,
I don't want to cut you off, but I want
to just I's just my job to have this conversation
right now. Yeah, I like and then ah, And there's
roy inherent to that. There is ROI inherent to you know,

(12:07):
building like you know, listenership to a thing. There's lots
of you know, benefits that that can bring, I think,
to one's life. There's lots of challenges that can bring
to one's life with benefits. But I'm also operating on
the other level, which is that I in the moment
that we are having this conversation, like the time itself,

(12:31):
I am enjoying. I'm enjoying getting to work out the
ideas that I'm currently working out. As I'm on the
phone with you right now, I'm getting to talk to
a guy from the Czech Republic. I would have never
gotten to talk. Really, there's no reason that you and
Mi's life would have ever crossed paths had it not

(12:51):
been for like the fact that I'm talking to you
right now. Is the ROI of previous decisions that I
made that are leading to this that leads to this podcast,
that leads to you discovering this, that lead to you
calling me. But also again, in the moment, I'm enjoying
having this conversation with you, so it's working on many

(13:14):
levels right now, this is this conversation is beneficial to
me in both the present and the future.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Can I just can go ahead?

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Go ahead please?

Speaker 2 (13:26):
I think this cozation. Yeah, this conversation is really I
just realized when you were talking this conversations it has
no space because they should go down a rabbit hole.
It just you know, everything is kind of like beneficial
in some way. You know, there's like a million things

(13:48):
you always like, I don't know, I can practice my English,
or I'm just happy I can talk to somebody, or
you know, like it's really pointless two name or the
benefits oh you know.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Right right, No, yeah, no, you're right. The having this
conversation is just inherent. There's no this doesn't need to
be like a payoff to something. And by the way,
it's funny I'm having what was I gonna say? By
the way, I'm the king, I'm like, I actually I've

(14:30):
had a I had somebody say this to me. I
was I was dating someone and she said to me,
you seem like you only want to do things, or
like you mainly want to do things where you see
like like an ROI to them where like they compound

(14:52):
into things, and I am like that, and I have
a I have lots of parts of my brain that
are like that, where I only really want to do
things where I feel like they'll benefit me in the future.
That's what I aspire to I in my actual life,
I do so I do lots of things that that
detriment my future, like eat a lot of ice cream,

(15:15):
but I enjoy them in the present. But then, but
I'm like, I'm enjoying talking this out to you right
now because I think that that mindset of I only
want to do things that compound for the future is helpful.
But I don't think if you if you're always thinking
like that one hundred percent of the time, I think
you miss a lot of the point of doing anything.

(15:42):
You know, So that's why I'm enjoying. I'm like to
challenge my own trying to challenge my own way of existing.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
I mean it all comes down to, like I think,
I think what you're saying a lot is like ignorance
is a less if you don't think about it, you
just you do what you want, like you're not controlled
by the return of the investments, and you don't do things.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, I think there's a health I think, I think,
I think the I think it's optimal to have a
I think it's about balance. I think you gotta have
a balance of both, right, Like you wanna do you wanna?
Because if you just fuck off all the time and
just yeah all the time and nothing ever matters, then
you didn't. You amounted to nothing, which was fine too.

(16:37):
There's no no law that you have to just.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Short term and long term gratification. You know what do
you want? You have the truth?

Speaker 1 (16:46):
I guess yeah, I mean yeah, I think yeah. I've
always I've always try to yeah, do like long trying
to do things that like I'm like, I like, like
I want to build things, you know, like like you like,

(17:09):
I want to do things that compound so that my
life is better in the future. But if you're only
if that's what you're only doing, and you're only doing
things because they compound into the see, that's the best.
See Like this, this conversation I'm having with you right now,
it's a perfect example of the perfect balance because this
conversation I'm having with you right now, I am enjoying

(17:29):
having it in the moment, and it it compounds for
the future.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
I guess it's a wingmen.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Do you feel like are you enjoying having this conversation
in the moment that we're having it?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah? I do, like sure, okay, good.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Do you feel like this is compounds into your future
in any way, shape or form.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, I mean we are exchanging ideas. Yes, so you
know that's always good to have a perspective. Now, yeah,
maybe sometimes when I think about situations and somehow I can,
you know, take this conversation up in my memory and

(18:22):
have another perspective. I think that's a good thing.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, you're practicing English. That's good.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, I'm sorry my English is pretty that right.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
No, No, I don't, it's not I don't. I don't
think English. I only said that because you said that.
I don't think your English is bad at all.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, yeah, I haven't. I haven't spoken English for a
long time, so I just listen like youtobe and stuff,
read books, but I don't speak that much.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Where do you do you live in Prague?

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Do you know in second language?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Do I know a second language?

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (19:10):
No, hold I'll answer, I'll answer.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
You speak Spanish when you were in Mexico cit.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, I I I I know a little bit of Spanish,
although my Spanish has has atrophied. I know, like ten
phrases of Japanese maybe, yeah, like I know, like ten
phrases of Japanese. I'm going to Tijuana on Friday. I'm

(19:40):
filming a video I'm excited about. Remember the Uh I
don't know, I don't know how often you listen to
the podcast, but like back in December, I had a
phone call with this guy who uh like leads these
like break dancing sessions in Tijuana.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh yeah, I remember.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, okay, yeah, so you listen. I know I saw
on that. On that phone call, he says to me,
He's like, yo, let me know if you ever want
to come to one and in and in it. I'm
like I'm like, yeah, maybe that would be cool someday.
And so I was just kind of sitting around and
I'm like, wait, I'm gonna I should actually go do that.

(20:25):
So I'm gonna do that.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, I mean a lot of people tell you that
now they do.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, I want to start making I want to yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
A lot of people are like, hey, come here and
let's do this this ship and I'm like, uh uh,
that's kind of that's what that's my new arc. I
want to make more videos like that because I made
that video about being in being depressed in Japan, where
you know, I met up with with with my my
boy Jason, who called it into the show and I'm like, oh,
that's I like that format of video. I think that

(20:57):
is fun. So I'm gonna go into Tijuan. I'm gonna
do that ship. But uh, I want to Okay, I
just want to go ahead, Google ahead, you say some Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I just wanted to say, I think this podcast wouldn't
work if you weren't traveling the world, like I think
it brings so much to like, you know what you
are talking about, like when different cultures, people with different
cultures talk to you, you are like open. I think

(21:29):
if you sat on your ass all the time, it
wouldn't work. This podcast so good that you you travel
a lot.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I think interesting. Well, and I'm trying to think about
that because I don't you know, that's an interesting thing
to say, and I agree with it to a point.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
But I think maybe not like it wouldn't work in
this scale.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
I think I think that I do think that traveling
and like going around and talking to people and stuff
is a is a good education in like, uh, yeah,

(22:23):
I think it is a good education. But I also
I don't think you need it. There's all these New
York Times articles. I mean, I like doing it because
I it's exciting, and I like I crave, I crave
constant stimulation. I think that's an ADHD thing, or maybe

(22:46):
it's just a me thing. I don't know, but I yeah, yeah, Oh,
you go ahead, you're gonna say.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Some Yeah, I'm just I was going to say, no,
I don't know that much about you, but I think
a lot of those things you'd say, like ADHD. I
think it just you know, we are so over stimulated
in the world. Oh it's not really no, like adhd ah,

(23:17):
But that's a different conversation. I don't I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
I I see what you mean. There's uh, what's that.
There's a Dave. I think it's like, no, it's it's
not Dave Chappelle. It's Michael Ja. Michael Cha has that
joke where he's like, uh, this kid doesn't have ADHD.
He's got titties in his pocket, you know, because of
the phone. Anyway, Yeah, anyway, oh yeah, traveling, I don't know.

(23:49):
You can you can there's somebody you can learn ship
on the internet. You can listen to podcasts, you can
do all kinds of ship.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
I'm well, can I say just from my perspective or experience,
I don't travel on like to other countries almost like
I traveled once or twice in my life. But I
think I'm still open in new cultures. Yes, but it's
not the same. I think it's not the same when

(24:19):
you weren't there because the Internet is so you know,
it's not real if you get me, like, I know
it's saying Internet is not real, it's pretty stupid, but
I mean it's not like like seventy percent of things
on internet are fake, right, So you get you don't

(24:42):
get the right perspective or the experience that you would
when actually being there and talking to people or experiencing
their food or you know, just the behavior. Like I
guess if someone whence to I don't know, to Japan

(25:06):
and made the block just walking in the city, I
don't get the experience of actually woking. It's totally different thing,
you know.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I again, I like travel a lot because it's, uh,
it's just fun and stimulating and I like getting to,
you know, meet new people and do and you know,
when I die, I want to be able to look
back on my life and uh, you know, be able
to say that I had, you know, exciting experiences and whatnot.
But I don't in terms of like, in terms of

(25:48):
like learning about the human experience. I think I think
that your understanding of the human experience is not I
don't think you have to travel far and wide for it.
I mean, like you like, okay, so you don't travel, right,
but like I assume you have you know, I'm gonna

(26:10):
assume you have like parents and maybe siblings and friends,
and you go to the store and you do all
these things, and it's like you can you know, just
just living on regular ass life and examining it and

(26:33):
you know, having relationships with other people and attempting to
navigate the world. And you know, but when.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
You say, I think there's a problem when you say
navigating the work, because you know, the work is so
vast and different on other places that I mean, I
can navigate the world maybe in chic Republic, but I
would be completely or not completely, but I would be

(27:06):
lost even in America because the culture is really different.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Ye hm, yes, But I mean to be honest with you,
like the Yes, cultures are different, but a lot of
ship's the the same. I mean like yeah, yeah, I mean,
well okay, right actually here, I mean let me, let me,
let me do this right, like like do you have

(27:34):
a do you have like a what's what's your romantic life?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Like, Oh, I I will be getting married, I think
this summer.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
You're getting married this summer?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah hopefully?

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Why hopefully?

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Oh well, it's not a setting stone, it I guess.
I mean you're not doing the classic marriage where you know,
I propose and we have the ceremony and stuff. You're
just gonna go to the city hall and get married.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Cool. How long have you been with your fiance your girlfriend?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Well, like together romantically, it's been a year and a half.
But I've known her for like ten years, I guess.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Okay, And how did that relationship go from like platonic
to romantic?

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, there was some romantic tension spark or how do
you call it, like all the time, I guess, but
realized really far apart and saw each other just one
fear for fourteen days, and like we grew older and

(29:07):
we started seeing each other more and yeah, then I
got her pregnant.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
WHOA Okay, I have a lot of questions to ask
about your life, but just to tie back in what
we were just talking about, is, okay, so you have
this you had this thing right with this girl where
you maybe liked each other and there was maybe just
spark and you know, like you have your you have

(29:35):
your love story with this lady.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, I mean it was not maybe, but yeah yeah,
yeah love story.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Okay, So well, okay, but this this experience of like
a guy and a girl know each other for a
long time and then maybe they get together, maybe they
don't know, they fucking h coover, they love each other,
and then maybe oh he gets their pregnant, and then

(30:03):
this story, this your life story, that story is happening
like that. That's just that's a human story. That's not
like that's probably happened in Japan, Korea and America and
Australia and all over Europe. Like that story like that,

(30:24):
like the like the like the human things like like
I know, and like like searching and like the search
for personal meaning and like familial relationships. These are these
aren't things you you discovered by traveling. These are things
you discovered by just like living and then you kind

(30:45):
of discover them by like talking to other people about
their lived experience. But a lot of like the truly
human uh ship is is cross cultural, I think.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, I mean these are feelings, right, so feelings are
definitely human like in every every culture, I guess, same.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Right, yeah? Yeah, Like, so you're you're educated in you're
educated in this field of romance, not because you not
because you try, not because you went on a crazy
cool trip to Japan, but because you fucking lived your

(31:31):
life and then you pull from the actual the life
that you lived to then give you a greater perspective
on the lives that other people might be living. And
you didn't have you didn't have to leave the Czech
Republic to do that.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Yeah, yeah, you're right, You're right, Yeah, But but I
cannot Well I could talk to you about this or
to anyone, right, but mmm, how do I how do
Maybe I couldn't talk to about what the feeling is
walking to in Japan in summer where it's really hot

(32:09):
and humid on the busy street, right, That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
But yeah, but even like yeah, but even like in
even like in that Japan walking video that I made
like that video is not about Japan. That video is
about like, ah go the videos that video is about
like my just my own fucking spirally ah thoughts, and

(32:41):
I could I could have fucking done that. You know,
I could have had those thoughts.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
I'm gonna I'm gonna be honest when I said, when
I said it, I didn't remember that video from you.
I just was saying, random scenario. It's I'm a new concept.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
You know, sure, sure, but but okay, like but I.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Think I'm kind of spiraling about this. Cann just just say,
just going to go away from it.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
It's not like you know, yeah, oh by the way,
hold on, just so you know, I'm not uh. I
hope you don't feel like I'm attacking you. I'm not
at all. I'm just uh no, you're giving your your
You're you've been, You're a great springboard for I'm enjoying
these ideas that were were exchanging. I'm not attacking. I

(33:37):
don't want I don't you say, because you say you're spiraling, No, no, no.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
I I enjoyed this very much. Even if you were
attacking me. It's all right. I know.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
I'm just I'm just in real time I'm in real
time thinking about the things that you're saying. Let me think, well, yeah,
because like, well, yeah, the idea of I don't know.
I think you get an education just by like living

(34:08):
your fucking life, you know, whatever happens to you.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yeah, I mean, let's let's let's agree to disagree.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Now it's good, it's uh wait, no, I don't want
to I don't want to agree to disagree. I want
to hear your disagreements.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
I told you already. But I think my like of
knowing English or English vocabulary, I can't really express myself
that much. So I don't know. I would rather just
go from that topic because I don't think I can
really say my mind on that.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
You know, So you're having a child.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, I have a child.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
I have almost one year old other Oh holy shit,
yeah wow, how's that?

Speaker 2 (35:17):
I mean, it's well, it's a right, parenthood is amazing,
but it's not either definitely. Well, I'm twenty one, my
girlfriend is nineteen, so you're kind of young parents. I'm

(35:41):
still in school. My girlfriend is also in school, so
we have some troubles with the time management and making money. Right,
But I don't know, I always wanted to be a father.
So I'm really enjoying it, but it's not idea, right.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Well, I could go on a rant, but I don't know,
I mmm if if it's constructive or not.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
I would love to hear your rent. Uh.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Well, well, I'm twenty one, and you know I always
wanted to child before before I got my girlfriend pregnant.
I thought about, like, if I had two lives, in
one I would like to try to be a young parent,

(36:49):
and in the other one, I would, you know, do
it the traditional way, I guess, And then I got
kind of new choice, and but yeah, I am really
enjoying it, but it was it's trually stressful because I

(37:12):
don't work full time and money is kind of tight,
especially in this economy, I guess, right, But yeah, so
it's it's it's stressful a lot.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Of yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Mhmm.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
You said in one life, you said, if you had
two lives, you would do one as a young father,
and then in the other one you would do it
the traditional way, which which I said, the traditional way
to you is like, you know, waiting a little more.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
I think the traditional way is like to finish school,
get a good job, financial stability, and then have a child. Right,
mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Well, I'm curious what made you want to what made
you want to be a young dad?

Speaker 2 (38:16):
I well, because I felt like being a father is
how do you said? Like, that's the only thing in
my life that I want to do pretty much, like
it's my dream. Yeah, my dream. Hmm.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
How is it playing out for you? Have you have
you do you feel? Do you feel good about about
living your dream? Uh?

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Yeah, I mean it's my dream, right, So I really
love it, Like being a father is amazing. I enjoy
it every day. I love my daughter and she's she's amazing.
But no, I know, there's really not a bad I
really love it, like it's great. The only thing that's, like,

(39:16):
I guess not optimal is the money situation, right, But
everything else I just thought it. I'm with my with
my girlfriend, which is love of my life.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
So that's great, that's great, that's wonderful. How is she doing?

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Yeah? Is she?

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Is she happy? Is she doing good?

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Yeah? I would say she's happy. Well, now, we had
the finals, so it was kind of stressful. But you know,
life is well, like if you don't I feel like,
if you want to live a comfortable life, you will

(40:08):
never achieve anything or like, mmm, you know you know
what I mean, Like if you don't step out of
your comfort zone, you just stay stuck. So that's my
point of view on that.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
Yeah, yeah, no, but we're really cool, Like we're gonna
get married, right, so.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
H you're happy?

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Mm hmm. How do you are you? What's your family situation?

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Is your Are you cool with your dad and your
mom and like you have siblings and stuff?

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Yeah? Well, uh, I am very cool with my parents,
Like I love them. They're amazing. They they help us
a lot, like my father, Like they are not together.
I would say divorced, but they never got married, so

(41:18):
I guess separate. Uh, but they are cool. I have
one brother, you could say half a bad brother. I
guess it's only from my mom's side, but I feel
it's he's my like my real brother. I know him
on My life is amazing mm hmm. Yeah. I My

(41:43):
family is great. I just wish I could talk to
them more, like see them, because now really is really
far apart.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Mm hmm. Do you do you have a Do you
have a lot of friends where you live?

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Yeah? I have, Like I have a group of friends
m hm. And I have some friends in school. But yeah,
I don't know. I don't know how much friends is
a lot or how much friends is.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Few.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
I have just a good amount of friends, I would
say I have. I don't have much time because, like
I said, I go to work and I study and
I'm a new parent. But I don't have that much time.
But I'm trying to keep in touch with them.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah, man, you're a pretty you're you're you're, you're a
pretty incredible guy. Man, that's you're you're. That's a lot.
That's a lot to juggle. That's a that's an incredible amount.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
No, I don't. No, I hate when someone says that
because I respect that.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
I respect that, I really expect that.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
I really don't think I'm, you know, doing anything remarkable.
Like I spent a lot of my time fucking watching
YouTube shots. If I was amazing, I wouldn't. I would
do something more productive, and you know, this is the
life that I pretty much chose. So no much, not

(43:28):
much remarkable about that, right.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Okay, can I can? I all right, wait, I don't. Okay,
Here's I'm not. I don't want to because you hate
when people say you're remarkable. I'm I don't want to
like like dick ride you or anything, but can I
want to explore I want to explore this. If we may,

(43:57):
you won't spiral, But I.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Wait, so no I would. I'm sorry because I would
really like to talk about this more. But my thoughts
I just can't put them in words in English. But
I'm really trying.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Well, well, okay, well, by the way, you're doing great.
You don't your your English is great. I'm just curious
about this.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
What why?

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Okay? I get if? Why does it do?

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Well?

Speaker 1 (44:24):
I guess A A, do people tell you a lot
that you're amazing? And then B why does it bother
you when people tell you that?

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Well yeah, people say it like my friends say it sometimes. No,
well they said it, they say it like once, right,
they don't say it every day. But I guess it
bothers me because you know, I don't feel like I'm
doing anything amazing and it you know, I just get

(45:01):
to if everyone says you're amazing while you're not, you're
just never going to improve.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
I feel like, no, well yeah, yeah, yeah, I absolutely
know what what that feels like. Uh, because yeah, if
everyone says you're amazing and right, because there's a weird
this is a fucking this is a classic thing. Is

(45:28):
uh if everyone says you're amazing.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
And it's pretty pretty uh normal human experience, you could say.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Yeah, if you start walking around thinking, well, hey, I'm amazing,
you know, then you just get what Then you're you're right,
you're not gonna improve. But then the opposite sucks too,
right because you don't want to write if you think
if you walk around all the time thinking that you're amazing,
you're not gonna improve. But then if you walk around

(45:55):
all the time being like I suck, then you're just
gonna hate your life.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
So yeah, I don't think I suck. I just think
I'm not remarkable. Like you said, I think I'm pretty normal.
Chill guy, what is what does that mean? What is like?

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Okay, see, your friends have told you. They maybe they
don't tell you every day, but they have told you before.
Your friends, people in your life have told you what
you're doing by not only working and going to school,
but also you know, being a partner and being a
father and you know being a loving kid, Like everything
you're doing is remarkable. So people have told you that

(46:38):
what it like what is remarkable to you? Like, because
clearly you have an idea or like a bar for
what incredible or remarkable looks like, and that you're not there.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Where's that bar at? Where does it look like?

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Well? I don't know what I would put the bar
like on someone I don't know, but for me, I
guess I would be amazing if you know, I didn't flag.
I feel like I flack a lot. Is that I mean,

(47:21):
like I thought I mentioned many times in this conversation
YouTube shorts because that's the thing that's on my mental
lot because I really spend I think, too much time there,
which is not a productive time and I could really
spend it on something else, like I don't know, learning

(47:42):
or just being present, cleaning my room or something like that,
and instead of doing that, I choose the instant gratification
like I mentioned, and you know, just flag and then
I feel bad. So I don't think there's you know,

(48:02):
that's not remarkable, right when you do something you don't
want to do and you still do it because you're
like it feels good at the moment.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Hm hmm, yeah, I have, like I actually I have
so many thoughts on that okay, but your your child.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Yeah yeah, that's kind of complicated situation, but it's getting
fixed soon. So well, I know, okay, let me tell you,
let me get you kind of different into this. I know,

(48:48):
like people are going to freak out. But yeah, let's
say I got my girlfriend pregnant when she was eighteen
and I was plenty.

Speaker 6 (48:59):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
By the way, like the content, like the age you
can consent to sex in my country is fifteen, so
it's all right.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
When she was and you were twenty.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Yeah, well no, I was actually nineteen.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Sorry, okay, all right, I was nineteen and she was eighteen.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
We are a year and a half and I was
still nineteen. Yeah, ok so, and she is still she
was still finishing high school because like high high school
school system in Czech Republic is you study high school
till you were like eighteen nineteen. I don't know how

(49:48):
it's in America. So she is still yeah, yeah, she
is still finishing. She was still finishing high school. She
was in her first year and in sure publicly do
four years. Well, there are different types of high school education,
but I guess the tradition like it's four years, and

(50:13):
she was doing her third year she was studying. So
she actually had to finish high school for one year
while our daughter was you know, she was born last summer,
and then this whole year she had to still finish

(50:33):
high school, and so she had to stay at her
grand grandparents' house. And I'm actually studying in a different city,
like half across the Czech Republic. I would say, it's
a five hour ride by train. So I wasn't capable

(50:56):
of going like spending with them all the time, all
the time, the whole week. So I went to work
and studied like on weekdays like Monday, Tuesday to Friday,
and and I went back on the weekends on. So

(51:20):
that's been last year. But now she finished high school
with the nice grades and we will live together now, hm.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
So she so you were studying while she was taking
care of the baby with her grandma and finishing up
her shit, and then you're doing your ship and now
the plan is, okay, we're all going to live together.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Yeah. Yeah, Well I was visiting, like think I was
coming back every weekend. Yeah, okay, okay, like we are together,
you know, just it just sucked because I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
No, I mean, look, I get you gotta you gotta
you gotta, you gotta go to school, you gotta get
an education. You're doing what you gotta do for the family,
and then coming back on the weekends to be with
the family.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Yeah. I mean I I when I when I heard
that we are going to have a baby, I my
immediate thought was, Okay, I'm gonna quit school and start
working full time. But well, we talked together and with
her parents and my parents, and we decided that it

(52:42):
would be the best if I finished the school because
I'm studying electrical engineering, and the salary really really spikes
when you finish school, like her university, you know. Yeah,
so it's like an investments.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Yeah. No, you're blessed as fuck to have.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
It.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Sounds like your families, like your family and her family
are like being extremely helpful and being like, all right,
will you know, we'll help you guys out so that
you can you don't have to drop out and fucking
go to work and you can finish school and she
can finish school. And it's nice. It's nice to you
have family to help you out with. That's you.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, you're a family view of each other,
you know. I mean, I think Czech Republic is a
little bit more family oriented than let's say, America.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Yeah, we were talking about like traveling, and shit is America.
And it's funny when you you know, what is so
dumb is And maybe maybe it's just me. I'm not
I'm not gonna project on other Americans. I'm just gonna
I'm not gonna speak on behalf of other Americans. I'm
just gonna throw myself under. That is when I when
growing up in America, I think I just always thought

(53:59):
like like like just America as the default, you know
what I mean, it's a stupid American thing of like
you grew up in America and you think that like
the way that I don't know if this happens everywhere,
but like you, you just when you grow up, you
think that the way that you grow up and the

(54:21):
culture that you live in. Sorry, I'm gonna stop projecting.
I thought that the way I grew up and the
culture that I lived in was just how everyone is.
And then and then yes, I get older and I
travel more and I learn more, and I realize that

(54:41):
it's not the case. And yes, individualism is a strongly
American thing. It's like we have our own cars, and
you can't you cannot ever tell us what the fuck
we can do because we're we are free. And then

(55:04):
you've got to other countries and it's like, you know,
I mean, people people have like like I think, like adults,
like being being like twenty seven and living with your
family is I think a way more of a No,
it's like a very non American thing, but it's like

(55:26):
very normal. I believe in like Europe for like, you know,
I think it's but Europe and like other countries.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
To have you don't get the house well okay, yeah,
just so you don't get the wrong idea. It's not
you're not the Czech Republic. It's not like I didn't
mean to say all some oriented maybe like India or something.
It's not like well, if you're twenty seven and you're
living in a parents house, it's weird.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Here too, so interesting. I thought it's maybe it's.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
I don't know, I know, sorry, go ahead, go ahead, yeah,
I just I just don't think it's as much of
capitalism like influence here. It's just more family oriented. Like
people are generally much poorer here than America. I would say,

(56:25):
so we like to you know, don't chase money, but
like relationships, I guess maybe more.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
That makes a lot of sense. I'm talking totally out
of my ass here, but I feel like, yeah, there's
definitely maybe it's like Latin American countries or something like that,
where it's like it's very common to have like three
generations in one household. I also thought that was like
a European thing.

Speaker 7 (56:55):
But uh.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
Yeah, America is like, you know, you gotta get you
gotta fucking do your own ship.

Speaker 7 (57:05):
Yeah, you you have like do what your anime? Not really,
but no, okay, I think I think America.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
You know, you you like when you look at the
person you the first thing you like, they're like power
level is how much money they are making like that
that that's what makes them, you know how they say it,

(57:36):
U like a great person if he has a lot
of money.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
I think in America, yeah, that's where that's the where
the value judgment is.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
Yeah yeah, right, yeah, yeah, that's what I meant. It's
not like that in Czech Republic. I would say, I
think that's that's the main difference there.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Tell me more about that. That's interesting, Like the value
like the value judge is about.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like I told you many, many of
my information that I take in about American culture, let's say,
is from the internet, because I've never been to America, right,
and I don't even have any friends from America. But

(58:24):
you know, I maybe I look at some video and
there's a guy that I don't know. Like let's say,
maybe I don't want well, I don't want to get
into that, but let's say maybe Andrew tight when when
he he makes a lot of money, of course, but

(58:47):
like he is coming people in my opinion, Okay, but
let's say in the sake of the argument, someone is
making a lot of money, but he's coming people or
like doing some shady things. In America, you I think
Americans tend to overlook the you know, shady business. It

(59:12):
just depends on how much money he's making. But in
Chech Republic, you know, he would say he's not really cool.
Or that's maybe my perspective on it too. Like I
don't wanna, I don't want to speak on behalf of
Czech Republic people, you know.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
I mean, look, but I mean, look, we uh we
elected the fucking guy with the Golden tower. Yeah, yeah,
so I don't think I don't think I don't think
what you're saying. Back it up. We elected a dude
who has multiples made of gold with his name on

(59:51):
them in gold, and we were like, we were like, yep,
that's that. That's awesome. We did, we did look at that.
We did look at the Golden Tower and go, that's
that's super awesome. That's that's sick. So yes, you're right,
Uh those are I think those are not?

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:00:09):
No, And.

Speaker 6 (01:00:11):
You know, like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Yeah, when I think when you ask American like kids
or like maybe young adults or how we say, uh,
you ask them like what do what do they want
to do in life? I think a lot of them
say just to make a lot of money, and you know,

(01:00:36):
they just I think it's it's not like it's not
like that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Into Republic interesting, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
We say maybe some specific thing, not just making money.
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
I feel like everything I'm about to say is completely
anecdotal and might be because I'm in a bubble. I mean,
I guess We're all in bubbles, but like I I
have I have I feel like in America this is
like a generational ish thing. Like I feel like more

(01:01:16):
like more people in like younger generations are like trying
to find like meaning for themselves outside of work and shit,
where like, you know, our parents were like I don't know,

(01:01:37):
they had they had, they had different, theyse grew up different,
I think. I think. Yeah, the our generation, I think
is more interested in like trying to find meaning instead
of our parents' generation, which was like, Okay, I'll just
go do this job and I'll do it forever and
it'll pay the bills and that's just how it works.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
Yeah. Yeah, Well you could say when you're you are
looking for a meaning instead of looking to you know,
just to survive, you're doing pretty good now.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, no, that's a yeah, definitely, I
think I think so too. Yeah. No, if you know,
if you're able to, like I think, if you're if
you're in a position where you're able to ponder, you're
doing great. I was looking this up recently. I was
thinking about this, like all the all the like I

(01:02:42):
don't know about all, but like a lot of the
the like major philosophers were rich, like fucking like Descard
and Marcus Aurelius and uh fucking I think Plato. I
was looking this up, like they're all rich because like
sitting around pondering the meaning of life requires you to

(01:03:06):
not be in survival mode. That's why all those motherfuckers
were rich or like it came from like nobility or something.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Yeah, that that makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
I think interesting. Interesting? What the fuck else was I was? I?
Were we talking about? See this whole? You know, it's crazy.
This conversation started with you thinking that this was going
to be a waste or no, not a waste. No,

(01:03:39):
you didn't say that. What did you say?

Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
You were?

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
You were?

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
You were you were afraid that this conversation would be
a waste? I think is that accurate to say? And
then and we've been and look at this, We've been
talking for at least an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Man. Well look I don't I think think Yeah, for sure,
for sure, I know you hate this and it's almost
mean of me to do it knowing that you hate it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
But I'm going.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
But I do think that you you I'm very I'm I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
I'm I'm I'm warmed. I don't know if warms. I
don't know if warm is the right word, but I'll
use warmed by your noble intentions and uh that your

(01:04:47):
persistence in pursuing them. You know you want to be
a good, loving dad. I can tell that you are,
and well if I can U.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
Yeah again, I just don't know whether what how? Oh wait,
how did you say it humble? Did you say humble? Did?

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
I didn't say humble? I didn't say I mean you are?

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
Oh wait, no, what you say my intentions were?

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
I think your intentions are that you want to be
a good dad and provide for your kids.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
No, but you know what kind of intention you said
some some words.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
I'm sorry you had noble?

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
You know your noble? Yeah, noble, I'm sorry. No, I
I don't know where that's what came from, because I'm
just doing what I want, like it was my dream.
If my dream was I don't know, making a million dollars,
I would try to make a million dollars. Yeah, there's
no nobility in that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Sure, sure, sure, I'm just doing you know what?

Speaker 6 (01:05:57):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
By the way, everything you're saying is right. You just
you just so happened for whatever, you know what? You
know what, I'll give you know what, I'll give this
back to you. What's your name again? Did you even
give me your name or any name?

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
I think guys said some bullshit like ob.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
Okay, ob you know what, you know what? Sure, Obi,
you just so happened, for whatever cosmic fucking reason to
be born in a body, in a brain where the
neuron the chemicals in your brain, and this stimuli you

(01:06:38):
encountered over the course of your life, uh deterministically led
to by happenstance. Your dreams are something that are traditionally
uh uh seen as noble, and that is just a

(01:07:00):
that's a that's a fact. Yes, you had you got
lucky that your dream is something noble because if your
dream was I guess that you wanted to make a
billion dollars and and invade the rest of Europe and
make Czech Republic the world leader, and you wanted to

(01:07:21):
kill a bunch of people, and that was what you
really wanted to do, you probably would be doing that.
And it's there's really no cosmic reason why why that
didn't end up being your dream instead of raising a
nice family.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Yeah, okay, I I kinda I kind of take it back.
I think you wrong, But because if if I if
I wanted to kill a million people, I don't think
I would do that. No, my consciousness wouldn't let me.
Maybe I'm a little nice guy.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
Yeah, yeah, but your consciousness wouldn't let you. But your consciousness,
but that's because you're who you are, and you're not,
you know, Hitler. I don't know. I'm spouting a lot
of deterministic Yeah, I hope.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
So I'm not the Hitler.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think you're hit I'm gonna, you
know what, forget every forget everything. You know what, why
don't we make that the new bar? I mean, why
don't we make that your bar? Can you not?

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
Can you not?

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Can you not accept my observation of you as remarkable
based based on the fact that you're not Hitler?

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Yeah, okay, okay, I'm remarkable before that, remarkable.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
For not being Hitler. We're all remarkable for not being Hitler.
We can tell you, we can do that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
But some people could be a little bit nicer to
each other.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Yes, that's true Hitler, and so could and you know what,
Hitler could have been a little bit nicer too, but
it's too late for him.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
Yeah he could. I think that was some space.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
Yeah, where's Hitler's cott? Do you believe in reincarnation or
like in uh that like consciousness can't go away like
it has to like reappear in some form.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Oh well, well, I believe in heaven. But yeah, no,
I believe in heaven. But the energy in the universe
is finite, right.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
Right, So what so whatever was going on in Hitler's brain,
whatever that was, that's is that. I wonder if that's somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
Yeah, I hope it's not. Maybe it got maybe it
got well, actually, can I can I ask you a question?

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Just off topic, you know, I okay, I don't know
how to how to say it, so maybe, but okay,
I really wanted to buy your hoodie but it's not
on stock? Will it ever be on stock? Like the.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
The A the R, the Trivian Trivian Gecko hoodie.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Yeah, the green, the green one Green. Yeah, it's really amazing.
It's like the best one there.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
No, I think we only haven't. I don't really, I haven't.
I think it's only what I haven't paid any attention
to my merch store in a while, but I think
it's only in white. I think we ran out of
the green. I think I because I use like a
print on demand service and so whatever. The guy in
the warehouse that I use has at the time is

(01:10:55):
typically what he prints us. I think it's only in white. Well,
you don't like the white I think the white school.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Yeah, I think what is cool. But you know my
problem with white is it's such a general color. Everybody
has white, but not many people have the green one,
like the light green color on their hoodie. It's amazing.
So you know, just my point. I think that's an

(01:11:22):
amazing goody.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Okay, maybe I'll try to get white. Great, How what
is it are you able to? What is shipping like
for you? When you go to that thing and you
put in your thing? It must that must cost a
lot of money.

Speaker 5 (01:11:34):
Yeah, well, well I can I can try it. Well,
I mean I would. I would try to get it
for my birthday. You know, it's kind of extensive for
chick Republic. But yeah, I mean it's it's.

merch star and a while. Logistically if I could send you,
I know for a fact. Okay, let me let me
all right, hold on, let me let me readjust my promise.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
I can I just say something.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
Ahead?

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
Can I just you know, just an idea. I'm not
trying to be ungrateful or anything. If it's possible, Yeah,
could you maybe try to sign it? And I give
it to my girlfriend because she is a big friend too.
I showed I showed her to showed her the podcast
and she really likes it. I mean, it would be

(01:13:37):
amazing gifts. Okay, it's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
If I would, I happily I would do that for you.
But all of the these are all in Ohio.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
It's all right, it's all right then, No, it's okay,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Sorry, I wish, I wish I could do that for you,
but they're all in Ohio.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
I think I will give it to her anyway, or

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
Gonna here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna try to
give you. I don't again the logistics of the merch't
try to send you the white thing. If I can't,
I promise you I will send you some form of merch.

But if I can't, I will. I'm gonna send you
some ship with sending an Instagram DM withies and ship.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
Yeah, I will send you after the call, because you
know I'm not telephoning through internet. I don't want to
suck it up.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Sorry, what were you gonna say?

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
Yeah, but I just wanted to say, even if you
don't do if you can do it, just the intent
really made my fucking day.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
And you know what, and you know what the best
part is is if if it works out, I'm gonna
try to do it. I just gotta make sure logistically
I can do it. But the cool thing is is
that if you were if it works out, is that
you have a you have a you if if it
works out, if I can send it to you, because again,
I would hate if I could promise you this. And
then my guy in Ohio was like, no, it's a

(01:15:11):
ship to the I promise you. I will try. But
if it works out then and you hold it, you
get to you'll, well, it'll be sick because you can
be like I have a I'm physically holding you'll, because
you'll be like this sweatshirt is worth exactly two hours

(01:15:32):
of my time.

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
Oh my god, that's fucking true. There it is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
The sweatshirt is is this is how much two hours
of my time is worth? Is worth this?

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
And you know what, you know what the coast of
the fucking hoodie would be like two times, but I
would make in my job for two hours. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
Really, how much the fucking cost to send a thing
to uh? The Czech Republic?

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
No, not even not even the shipping, like how much
the check Republic isn't Yeah, yeah, the checker Czech Republic
isn't really you know, the richest country. So you know,
dead hoodie would cost me five hours of my time.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
That's crazy, isn't it. Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:16:29):
And so okay, I don't yeah, so when okay, I
just want to say, I don't fucking I don't get
how the fucking Americans can get can go broke bro
like because these things cost the same you know here
in Czech.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Republic and they're in America, but you make ten times
our salary. Bro, how do you how do people get
broke bro?

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
Well? Because well, well, well, yeah, I mean if you well, well, like.

Speaker 2 (01:16:59):
I mean this hard, I understand the food is yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
Like like the sixty like well okay, so like like yeah,
like sixty dollars to buy a hoodie on the internet,
is I think that's about right for America. But like
if well, I mean, I mean, the short answer is
is that Americans make more money compared to I think

(01:17:27):
this is a question for an economist and not a
dumb ass who uses the who just googles shit and
watches YouTube videos. But I think the short answer is,
like we make more money in comparison to the rest
of the world, but also because uh, you know, we
just everything is more expensive in America, you know. I
mean like when you like you go to Japan and

(01:17:49):
they make everything there is cheaper, but they make less money.
And I think that's that's how I think that's how
it works.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
I assume. I assume that if somebody made a bunch
of American dollars, right and then moved to the Czech Republic,
their money would go farther versus if you took your check.
I don't know what. I don't know what is it
a rupie or whatever you guys got and you move
to and you go to America, it's like, oh, my
ship is worthless.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Yeah, you know, I understand because of living is much higher, right,
but you know, things like this they cost the same.
Like if I want to buy PS five, it will
it will cost me ten times more in uh, you know,
time than everage American you know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
Way interesting. Wait, but a PS so like if you
go to like if you go wait ship, Yeah, if
you buy like everything.

Speaker 2 (01:18:46):
On Amazon, everything on everything with you if you want to.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
Buy if you want to buy a PlayStation five on
Amazon in the Czech Republic and you go to like
Amazon dot c H or c z K or whatever
the fuck it's does it cost the same as pretty
much American dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
Yeah, damn, you know that's just my rent that I
don't know how American people get broke, because, yeah, I
understand the cost of living, it's much higher. But you know,
these luxury you could call it luxury things the cost
of the same.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Mhmm. Yeah, I guess, I guess, I guess, yeah, I
guess that's true. I guess. Yeah, we have we have
access to Yeah, if your Americans have access to more
two more luxuries. But like our our basic like like
what what do you pay? How much is like you
don't live in Prague, right, you live in like.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
We're part of No No No practice, Like two times
more expensive than everybody else in Chicken Public.

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
Okay, I don't like so like wherever you live right,
like where you were, like the location that you're calling
me from. How much is how much would like a
one bedroom apartment cost per month?

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
Oh? Wait? One bedroom? Okay, I'm just in the process
of like getting two bedroom apartments Okay, wait, wait, wait,
what do you mean by one bedroom because we have
like one room and okay.

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
Well forget about Like, okay, you're you're in the process
of looking for a two better apartment. How much does
that cost?

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Two two bedroom? But it's like two rooms and a kitchen.
It's not like I don't know what two bedroom means
because like there are no two beds, there's just two rooms.

Speaker 1 (01:20:49):
Well what well, okay, yes, it's two rooms and a
kitchen one bed Yeah, okay, how much is.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
That that would cost a like twenty twenty thousand crowns
and one daughter is twenty five so maybe you can
round it up like nine hundred eight hundred dollars for
a month.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
Okay, check crown to us D. It's it's twenty thousand
crowns to USD.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Yeah it's yeah, it's twenty yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
Yeah, it's like a two room ish. Okay, so two
rooms and a kitchen is twenty thousand crowns a month?

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
Yeah pretty much.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
Oh yeah, it's about nine hundred and ten bucks a month.
And you're in like the you're in like a non
major city in the Czech Republic.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
Yeah, I am in a major city, but you know,
Czech Republic is like, you're not You're not in like
the cities aren't. Really I'm not in a rural area.
I mean just I'm just in city.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
You know, you're in a normal ass city. You're not
You're not in like ass fuck country farm.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
Okay, okay, I'll tell you how it is. It's Prague,
and then it's all like every city, it's practice just
the main like the most expensive one, and then all
this all the others are pretty much the same pretty much.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
Okay, Well, I'm trying to think of like what I'm
trying to think of like the American Like I'm trying
to like, do I compare this to like you know,
some randoms, well or do I? Or do I compare
this town to like Saint Louis, Missouri, you know, like
a it's not like the most major city. It's like

(01:22:46):
a place.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
Well okay, okay, let me tell you. I'm living in Bruno,
which is the second largest city in Czech Republic. But
if you google how much population he is in Berno,
it's like the smallest city in America.

Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
Hold on, I'm actually genuine this fast. I like, I like,
I like, uh think about this stuff. What berno check Listen,
you guys gotta get some fucking this city this this
city's name needs more vowels in it. The city's name
has too many concepts.

Speaker 2 (01:23:27):
If you don't have much vowels, is it's a.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
Vowel A E, I O U. Okay, all right, it's
got one vowel. But yeah, this city needs a couple
more vowels in it. Okay, this is bro okay, all right,
this is all right, all right. As a population of
around four hundred thousand, Okay, what's the population of Saint Louis, Missouri.

(01:23:52):
Saint Louis.

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
Population Actually four hundred thousand, isn't it? Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:23:58):
All right, So Saint Louis, Missouri has less people than
where you live.

Speaker 4 (01:24:06):
Really, yeah, to.

Speaker 1 (01:24:07):
Say, Lot's Missouri's got about two hundred and eighty one
thousand people. Lois, Missouri is smaller than where you live.
Where you live, you can get what I think. We're
both on the same page about is a two bedroom apartment.
I don't know what. I don't know if the I
don't know if two bedroom apartment means something different to

(01:24:27):
you in the Czech Republic than it does in the
United States.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
But well, because when you say bedroom, like, are there
like two beds or just two like rooms?

Speaker 1 (01:24:38):
You can look at a two bedroom apartment would look
like it has two rooms and then it made up.
Maybe it has a hallway, and then it has like
a living room, and then maybe like a tiny kitchen.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
So that's kind of bigger. I think that would cost
twenty five thousand.

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
In all right, twenty five thousand. That's twenty five thousand,
all right, twenty five thousand, all right, So it would
cost around twelve hundred bucks for a two better apartment
in a major city.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
What is.

Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
Hmm?

Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
I feel like I want to say a two better
an apartment. Let's look this up. Let's go on, Zilo.
I don't know why this is fun. I mean, this
is interesting to me.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
I'm actually pretty interested. Then it's to pick. Yeah, it's again,
let's no, it's to me, it's very interesting because I
think about this all the time, like, yeah, how bad
of living situation is in America? Because everybody says pretty bad?
So I just want to compare.

Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
All right, Saint Louis, Missouri. All right, let's do this.
Hold on Saint Louis, Missouri. Uh, Saint Louis simmo. Okay,
here we go. All right, a right, this is this
is like fuck all right for rent all we're gonna
do beds, two bedroom all right, maximum fourteen hundred bucks.

(01:26:15):
All right, oh shaka, you know what, it's kind of
really yeah, you can you can get a two bedroom apartment.
Hold on, all right, I'm looking at zillo right now. Yeah,
there's places in Saint Louis, Missouri you can get a
two bed like look, this is a nice two bedroom
apartment for wow, like one thousand bucks a month. This

(01:26:37):
is here's one for twelve hundred one point alright. So
the cost, yes, so the cost of living. Yeah, if
what you're telling me is true. And yeah, what you
tell me is true. And the cost of a two
bedroom apartment in the second largest city in Czech Republic

(01:27:00):
is twelve hundred dollars a month. That from this very
quick Zillow search, it looks like you can get pretty
much the same thing in Saint Louis, Missouri, which has
seventy five percent of the population.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
Okay, and I just want to say that yearly, the
average check salary is like twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:27:29):
K twenty thousand dollars a month.

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
A year.

Speaker 1 (01:27:39):
Yeah, that sucks. That sucks for you guys at the
Czech Republic.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
Yeah, Bro, what the fuck? I didn't even know how
fucking vent it is.

Speaker 1 (01:27:52):
That's crazy. Is it really cost to that and that? Wait?
So you so the average salary in what is it? Bruno?

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Oh love Bruno, I don't know what average Wait.

Speaker 1 (01:28:08):
The average salary in bro Is is twenty thousand. Is
the equivalent of twenty thousand dollars. The average salary and
bro is the equivalent of twenty thousand dollars a year,
two US a year.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Yeah, and then the.

Speaker 1 (01:28:26):
Cost of a two better apartment is twelve hundred a month. Yeah,
that's the same. Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:28:37):
I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
I don't know what the don't know what the average
salary is in I don't know what the average salary
is in Saint Louis, Missouri, but it's absolutely got to
be more than twenty thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
Yeah, I mean if you are I guess if you
are like good in America, you you make like one
hundred K, you'll know, like you're pretty comfortable. No, I
don't know. I sometimes I listen today for ends Day

(01:29:13):
and that's the conclusion I came to.

Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
Interesting. Yeah, that's crazy, I guess. Uh yeah, yeah, that's
pretty crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy for you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
So I'm telling you how are Americans getting broke? Bro wow?

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
Oh wait, okay wait tell me this. Okay, twenty thousand
dollars a year? What's your guys? Do you guys? What's
your guys healthcare situation?

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):

are pretty healthcare?

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
Oh well, we paid in our Texas, but it's it's
cheaper than the US deferently, you know, your healthcare is
fucking scam.

So yeah, we we either either you get either you
have to pay for healthcare, like I pay like like
I'm self employed, so I paid like just three hundred
some like three hundred and twenty dollars a month for
just healthcare. And then if you have a job usually.

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
Yeah, and I just and yeah, and then we have
free schools.

Speaker 1 (01:30:34):
Yeah wait wait do you guys have free university?

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
Yeah, yeah, there we go. This is you know, until
you were like twenty five, you know, even a free university.

Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
So you're gonna graduate with an electrical so you're gonna
so you're gonna graduate with an electrical engineering degree with
zero debt.

Speaker 2 (01:30:57):
Yeah, I mean that's well why I'm doing it, right,
Because if I just take like, I don't know, five
years off, then I have to pay it. But if
you don't take any any years off and after high
school go straight into UNI and you finish it with
no like delays you, it's free.

Speaker 1 (01:31:17):
Well, how do American Well, actually a couple things. Well,
all right, I mean this, sorry, go ahead, you go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
Let me tell you this. Maybe this will blow your mind.

Speaker 5 (01:31:31):
This is not.

Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
It's just my experience or how I see things into Republic.
But I think other than you know, how do you
say it, like borrowing money for the house or you know,
to buy a house. Other than that, I think ninety
to eighty percent of people into Republic were never in debt.

Speaker 1 (01:32:00):
Other than that, who.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
Like that? That isn't really a thing here. They don't
have credit cards pretty much, no one has a credit
card into the Republic.

Speaker 1 (01:32:12):
You guys don't have credit cards. In the Czech Republic.

Speaker 2 (01:32:15):
We have, we have them, but nobody uses them because
into Republic there aren't really any benefits to credit cards.
I know you have some benefits. They don't. They don't
offer any so nobody is actually using them. Everybody has
a debit card, nobody car.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
Do you have like a credit score?

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
No, that's not a thing here, I and I that's
one of the biggest American stemps. No, like credit card?
What the fuck is that?

Speaker 1 (01:32:48):
Well, okay, hed American score. But well, we have a
couple of things.

Speaker 3 (01:32:51):
Is one, Yeah, college is Yeah, I can see it now.

Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
Yeah, college is really fucking expensive. Health if you if
it's not part of a if you don't have like
a really good employer sponsored plan, healthcare is really expensive.
And then also like a lot of a lot of
plans like don't come with ship, like dental. And also
even if you have a plan like like that, like

(01:33:19):
doctors will just be like, yo, we also did this
ship and that call and that wasn't in your insurance,
so you got to pay for this, you know, like
fuck it. I think a lot of insurance plans don't
cover ship. And then also here's a big one. Here's
a big one.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:33:36):
Bro broneal what's his name is? Place that's with no
with no fucking vowels in it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
Well, uh what what?

Speaker 1 (01:33:49):
What where do you live again?

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (01:33:52):
Yeah, okay, I'm looking at Burno. I see a picture
of a big fat fucking hold on, hold on, b
are no, No, it's not a cock. We have got

(01:34:13):
we got a big fat fucking what do you guys have?
Hold on? Sorry?

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
So this.

Speaker 1 (01:34:22):
Uh oh a big fat tram. You gotta tram. You
gotta something, you know, you know what we got we got. Well,
you guys got trams. If you're an American and you
don't live in like in in in like yeah, if
you live in Saint Louis, Missouri, you gotta have a car.

(01:34:44):
You have health and you gotta go. You got my
car insurance, you know if you take a fucking Saint Louis.
Like here's the all of all of all of like
the major like Americans it is. They all have like
public transportation, it's just shitty.

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
But like, how can a subway be shipped? Bro?

Speaker 1 (01:35:13):
How can a subway be How can a subway be shitty?

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:35:19):
A subway, A subway. A subway can be shitty if
it doesn't go to a lot of places and if
it's unreliable, or if it's dangerous. Yeah, okay, okay, like
that's like that's a that's a huge it's a very

(01:35:39):
European thing to have like safe, reliable, expansive public transportation
that's cheap, whereas like we all have to well well
I'm I mean one of the reasons York City is
because they have public transportation and I hate having a car.

Speaker 2 (01:35:54):
But like.

Speaker 1 (01:35:57):
In yeah, in pretty much every American stuff, I think
it's uh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
It's needed to say that gas is very much cheaper
in America.

Speaker 1 (01:36:09):
The gas is cheaper in America.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
Yeah, yeah, because uh, you know, you have you just
you're kind of the gas country. No, like you have
like you know, gas is just really much more expensive
than Czech Republic in comparison to you know, like the salary. Definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:36:37):
Yeah, it depends where you live, Like if you live
in like gas in California is is insane. Uh, but yeah,
gas in Saint Louis is. Uh. I don't know. I
don't know why I'm talking about gas in Saint Louis.
I have no idea, but yeah, I mean there's trade Yeah,
that's the thing is there's like there's trade offs with

(01:37:01):
a lot of the ship because you know, Americans because yeah,
Americans are always like, We're always looking at Europe being
like Americans always looking at Europe being like, damn, you
guys have free health care and free like education and
free public transport, and then you guys are looking at
us being like, damn, you guys got PlayStation five. That's
pretty sick.

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
Yeah. Well, I don't want to be dead guy, but
I think the well the public perception of America around
the world went to it's really really worse than it
was maybe like ten twenty years ago. I feel like
nobody is really thinking about America as a dream country anymore.

(01:37:46):
I don't want to be like, I don't want to
shoot on you, but it's just how it feels like
to me.

Speaker 1 (01:37:54):
No, you're not you ain't you ain't you ain't saying
nothing that's blowing anyone's mind. Yeah, but I don't know,
we had like whatever I was watching some I was
watching some YouTube video that's like it depends on what
your bar is, you know. I mean, we're we're living
pretty fucking good compared to like, you know, there's plenty

(01:38:18):
of there's plenty of countries that you can look at
and say that we're living pretty good. Compared to them.
But I don't know who's living the best. I've no,
I've been to.

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
You know the best. Yeah, definitely the Nordic countries. No,
the Nordic countries like three, Sweden, uh, Norway, Norway. I
think they have like they I think, Davis, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:38:55):
Yeah, Denmark's doing pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:38:58):
Yeah den Mark.

Speaker 1 (01:39:01):
Yeah, how come everyone's not like, Oh I gotta moved,
I gotta go to Denmark.

Speaker 2 (01:39:07):

Coca cola. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:41:54):

is here sing that there's a drink that's better than
coca cola is something that I would fly to another
country to experience.

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):

to the draft in a pub. You need to get
the draft in pubs from like the better. It's amazing.
