Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, what's your name?
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Joe?
Speaker 1 (00:01):
How how be it going, Joe?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's not bad. I've been trying to call you for
probably like a week now, and it's probably like my
six hundredth call, so I'm pretty excited.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Have we ever spoken before?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We have not, but I watch your streams every day
when I'm at work. My buddy has YouTube Premium, so
I just darkened my phone and I just listen to
you while I work.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Cool, cool man.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Thank you for thank you for indulging in my bullshit.
I I'm sincerely, sincerely honored by that. What what when
you listen to the show and you think, well, if
I were on the Gecko Show, this is what I
would talk about?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
What do you think? What do you think you would
talk about?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Well? I have three things I wanted to talk to
you about, one pertaining you, one pertaining my life, and
then one just a general question.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Let's I thank you for laying that all out for me.
Let's can I choose the order in which we do them?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
For sure? Manage your show.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Let's start with the general question.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Okay, how do you feel about baths?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
B A T H or B A T S.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
B A T H.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
How do I feel about baths. I like baths. Well,
I'm a big Here's the thing I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Baths are like a whole thing to fill them up
and feels weird, kind of like I don't like the
silence of baths.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Like I'm a big I'm a big huge.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Every time sit down in the shower or I love
sitting down in the shower. I don't take baths, but
I sit down in that shower every single time I'm
in the shower, and a bath is kind of like
sitting down in the shower, except it's two static of
an experience, right, like the sound and the feeling of
(02:05):
the water coming from above feels it is an important
element of my relaxation. So I'm not personally a big
bath guy.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
But.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know, I get it. I get it. What about you?
How do you feel about baths?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I feel like there had to have been a reason
why you asked this question, and I'm curious what that
reason might be.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, I've partaken them sometimes after a long day at work.
I do housekeeping and I also am a cashier, so
I have two jobs. So every now and then I
like to take a nice, warm, hot bath and maybe
even put some bath salts in there and just relax
after a long day. You know. Cool?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Cool? All right, you know what you've inspired me?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Next time, I'm gonna try a bath sometime soon based
on your recommendation. Hell yeah, all right, now, let's do
your life and then we can go to May.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Okay. So basically a couple months ago, right before I
want to say, summer of this year, I got really
sick at work and I felt like like fainting and
stuff all the time, and I had hot sweats and
I was in confusion and stuff, and I just wasn't
understanding it. And it turns out I got lime disease
(03:25):
because I mow lawns and stuff a lot and do
landscaping in the summer. And I didn't even know that
I had it. And me and my girlfriend are long distance.
She lives in New Jersey and I live in New York,
and so when I found out I had lime disease,
I kind of ghosted her, but I kind of ghosted
everybody just for that. I want to say, probably month
(03:46):
months and a half period of time where I had
to get antibiotics and you know, get treated for everything,
and I just didn't know how to handle everything. So
I kind of ghosted everybody, and she got really upset
with me because I hurt her by that, you know,
And I know you don't really like giving relationship advice
like that, but I just wanted to turn to you
because she's still heard about it and it comes up
(04:09):
in arguments here and there. But we still want to
make things work and I really care for her, So
amongst you know, going to see her and putting more
efforts in, is there any advice you can give me
on trying to be better or do things differently?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well, first of I'm curious, why did you ghost everyone?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I would think if that that seems like something you'd
want like support with, So I guess I want to
know why you ghosted everyone.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, my whole life, I've kind of just been used
to ghosting people when stuff happens, because I had a
really traumatic childhood where a lot of people weren't there
for me that should have been. And I definitely know
that it's wrong, you know, and it's not something that
I should have done, and that it hurts people. But
I really didn't even know how to understand how it
was feeling myself, especially because I was told if I
(05:00):
would have waited very much longer. It could have been
a lot worse.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So well, forget well, forget about the value judgments of
like you know, saying like I know it's bad, Like
why do you think you'd do it?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I think it all stems back to childhood, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But so that, But then I guess, even if even
if that's true, what is the belief that you're like
subconsciously holding on to as an adult that is influencing
your decision to ghost everyone.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I kind of think it just goes back to, you know,
being by myself and knowing that if I could come
to terms with whatever is going on by myself, then
maybe I'd be more open to being around everyone more.
But especially when I don't understand things or things that
are very traumatic, I kind of just tend to shut
(06:00):
down and isolate, you know, and I try to do
things that make me happy, even if they're momentarily happy,
things like playing video games or you know, and just
not contacting anybody.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
So is it just you're not contacting anybody because you
don't want to be I'm still I'm still trying to
understands why this Is it just you'd just rather be alone.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Maybe in a way, it's getting my mind off of
things and not having to talk about whatever situation is
going on, especially if I'm doing something else like playing
video games or smoking weed or just doing something alone.
Maybe it's just the fact that I'm getting my mind
off of those things without other people and being reminded
of whatever situation, especially traumatic.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Are you associating other people?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Just are you still saying just like, if I'm around
other people, they're gonna want to know what's going on
with me, and I'm gonna have to keep fucking talking
about it, and I don't feel like doing that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Uh, definitely at times. Yeah, I'd probably say sixty to
seventy percent of the time. Yeah, that's mostly the case.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Interesting, So your girlfriend is mad at you, not so
much anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
She's still pretty hurt about it, but you know, she's like,
I'm always trying to understand why you did it, but
it's kind of hard to understand because I'm not you, you know,
And I'm like, just know that I didn't do it
with the intentions of hurting you or hurting anyone. I
just did it because I really didn't know how to
deal with it myself, and it was a very hard
(07:42):
time for me.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You know, yeah, what is okay? I mean it sounds
like you're articulating your feelings in an honest way and
not like so I guess you. I mean that's really
all you can do. I think, Yeah, well, how long
(08:08):
ago was this?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Probably right before summer? It's like mid spring of this year.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, I know, are you guys like cool?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
What how are you guys doing?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Now? We have arguments here and there, and especially when
that comes up during the argument, you know, but I
try to move past it, and I tell her that
I'm going to like fix everything and make everything the
way it should be. But you know, we have to
let time play out with that part, because that's another
important thing that's linked to all of this, is just time,
(08:38):
especially when you're trying to grow and love somebody and
you know, be connected together.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
How's your line disease? Are you gonna? Are you? Are
you good?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah? I had to take antibiotics for like a month.
They said it's always gonna probably like be in my
system and stuff. But they're a lot better with the
antibiotics to put it into remission to where it'll never
like relapse or anything whatever. Come back up with it again.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Okay, so you're not about to like like turn into
a giant tick like that the Fly movie.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
No, okay, well that's good.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I still can't believe I'm talking to you, bro. It's
so crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
How old are you? I'm just curious.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I'm going to be twenty seven in March.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Cool, very cool? And how long you've been with been
with the Jersey Lady?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
November twentieth, I'm going to see her, but November eleventh,
it'll be two years.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Okay, that's quite a It's I have to say, it
was really I didn't say anything at the time, but
it was really funny when you said you were in
a long distance relationship. I was like, oh, he's like
there's a lady who lives in Europe or something, and
you were like, I live in New York, she lives
in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well. Another thing a lot of people tend to, uh,
I guess you would say, like misunderstand is when you
say New York a lot of time people just think
of the city.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
But I know you live in like Albany or some ship,
and she lives in like Jersey.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Like, actually, I'm so sad.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I didn't get to get to your show, bro that
actually knows that actually genuinely is a long term, long,
long long distance religship.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Whould you meet this? Uh? Your girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
A dating app was a field? Uh No, I think
it was like ba do or something like that.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
But do.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Oh yeah, I remember Bado. Okay, so she's.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I mean, uh, okay, Well, well, I don't want to
move on.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I was gonna say, I know you had a.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Thing you wanted to ask me, but I don't know
if we've talked all about the things you wanted to
talk about regarding you, I don't know if there's any
other angles to this you wanted to explore.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I kind of just like I said, I know you
hate giving relationship advice because.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I just hate love myself a little. It's good. I'm
happy to talk through stuff with you though.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean other than time, what else
do you think I should do? Just keep putting all
my efforts as much as I can in like I am,
and just wait it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Out, wait what out.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Just getting stronger in the relationship and hopefully moving past
all of this stuff so it doesn't come up all
the time, especially when we're arguing.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I mean, look, You've expressed yourself on what happens with
uh with with you know, when you got diagnosed with
lyme disease, and you kind of expressed that you have
this like defense mechanism that you're trying to understand as
(12:13):
to why you do that. You sound like you listened
to what she had to say and your actioning upon it.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, what else? What else is there? I mean you care?
What else? What else is there?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Right? Right? That's kind of how I feel. I feel
like I just kind of got to keep doing everything
that I can do to be a better person and man,
you know, and especially better in the relationship, and then
wait for time to run its course with everything. You know.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Okay, are you happy not to fucking be a fuck?
Are you happy in this relationship?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah? She's actually a lot different from anybody I've ever
been with. I know, cool and oh go ahead, gosh,
but you know, it's just I've never been this invested
in someone. I would say, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Does that feel Are you excited about being invested in
this person? Yes, that's a great answer, that's the right answer.
That's a tricky thing, though, it's a true it's such
a tricky thing being invested in like that because you
(13:31):
you you leave yourself. It's the kind of the the
the contradiction of love, I guess is you leave yourself
open to to hurt by being so invested in another person.
But I don't know, there's probably been I want to say,
at least one hundred thousand songs that are written about
that subject. And so that investment and that hurt are
(13:53):
just kind of it sounds to be natural parts of life.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah. Yeah, And another way I like to think about it,
you know, is it it does suck leaving yourself solable, vulnerable,
especially putting your all into someone. But you know, I mean,
other than love on this planet and money and success,
what else do we really have other than love, especially
when it comes to friendships, relationships, connections with people. I mean,
(14:20):
it all kind of just boils down to caring, you.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Know, money, success, tropical mic and ikes. They're always coming
up with new flavors of mic and nikes. What was
the thing about me that you wanted to ask?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Do you care if I put you on speaker for
a second, because it was pertaining to one of the
videos on your channel. And I've always been curious on
what the lore behind it is.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I'm really terrified about this, but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Okay, I don't even I probably don't even have to
put you on speaker and go to the channel. But
there's a video on your channel. It's probably about twelve
to fourteen seconds, okay, and it was taken about.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh it's the one where it's the one.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
It's the one where I'm running down the side of
the hideway in Utah.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I'm and I'm screaming.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yes, yeah. Oh.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I wish I had a cool story behind that. I
just kind of thought it would be funny, really well,
you want you want to hear a you want to
hear a really crazy story or not. It's not a story,
but it's just a thing in I used to make
that used to just be a genre of video that
(15:35):
I did. I made like the first back in like
twenty this is the at This is the kind of
the actual origin story of therapy Gecko is Like in
twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I this is the reason why I'm a Gecko.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
In like twenty eighteen, I made this video called I
Am in Love with Clara or it is something like that.
I don't I don't know what the name of the
video is. My channel, but it's restarts Clara. It's probably
on there, and it's just this video where I'm like wet,
I'm like drenched in, I'm like soaking wet, and I'm
running down the streets of Philadelphia screaming about how I'm
(16:15):
in love with a woman named Clara, but she's getting
married to another guy in my bathroom and she's kicked
me out, and all my friends are going to the
wedding and they like, I'm just trying to create a
nightmare situation and just I'm just running down the streets screaming.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
And I made.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Like three of those other videos where I was just
like had a weird, melodramatic love story.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That I was running down.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
The streets soaked in water, yelling. I was making those
kinds of videos, and one of them I made was
me running down the streets in a lizard costume. I
don't know why I came up with this idea, but
the idea is that I was like escaping from a
terrarium and I was running down the streets of of
(17:09):
of the neighborhood. And that's the reason that I have.
There's the reason I had the gecko costume. And then
when the pandemic happens, I started streaming, and the I
just had the costume, and so that's kind of where
like therapy Gecko came.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So yeah, the genre.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Of sorry go ahead, no, you go ahead.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Well, the jat basically very extreme, just in the butterfly
in a very like butterfly effect way. That video, that
fourteen second video of me running down the streets screaming,
is part of the extended lore as to how I
became the therapy Gecko in a in an indirect way.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, that's so odd because the only one I had
stumbled upon was the one of you running down the highway.
But maybe I'll have to go back into.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Your which yes, sure, if you if you go on,
uh you are you all? You said you wanted to
put me on speaker.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I assume that meant because you were just in my
YouTube channel, I.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Would go, but I didn't do it. If you want
me to go look first night.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
You know what, don't you don't don't don't you don't
have to do it. You don't have to do it
right now. You don't have to do it right now.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
But well let me see if it's on there still.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yeah, yes, if you search. If you search Clara, it's
on there. Oh yeah, whatever. I don't know why these
I feel I these they're funny. I don't you know whatever,
they're funny. They're funny.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
What were you going to say?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I seen your stand up A part of your stand
up skit from quite a few years ago where you
were like, I hate when people take psychedelics and they
say that that made me smarter and made me a
different person. He's like, you're just you were like, you're
just taking drugs.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, I was trying to be George Carlin when I
was seventeen.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It was funny, though, dude.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Thanks man.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, I'm a I think that if you never pursued
therapy Gecko eventually stand up would pop for you. You
you definitely would hit it on the head.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, thanks man. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
It's so weird because yeah, I did stand up for
six years before I did the Gecko, and I quit
because I didn't it was just too hard. And then
and now I'm like headline and then I you know,
I went to Syracuse and headlined to the fucking Syracuse
Funny Bone. But I am not a stand up comedian.
(19:44):
But I do stand up East. It's I feel like
I did a very weird roundabout uh, fulfillment of my
of my dreams.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
It's so funny when you talked about you were talking
with a caller. I think that you went to your
Syracuse show and you're like, I don't know how you
guys live out there. There's absolutely nothing to do. The
funnest thing I did was smoke a bowl in the
mall parking lot and a guy gave me a gecko bowl.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
That was a great night. That was in Albany. Yeah,
that was awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah. I smoked weed in the open.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
The club booked an opener and he was a really
cool guy and I sat in his car and we
smoked weed together. It is a really fun time. That's
a good time.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
You spoke there's nothing here.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, but you know what but you know is you Yeah,
but life is creating your own adventures. So if you
really want to have a crazy time in Syracuse, you
can figure out a way to do it.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Oh yeah, there's a lot of nature up here. I'm
sure you've I mean, I don't know how much you
got out when you came up, but there's definitely a
lot of places to hike and natural stuff you can she.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I really most of the time I spent was in
the radius of that mall parking lot that the comedy
club is attached to, which, by the way, is a
sick mall. I they've got go karts. Yeah, whatever the destiny,
moll's sick, they've got go karts.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Man in all, dude.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
My girlfriend knows when she came up, but she's like,
I'm kind of nervous.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I'm like, come on, well, what's your name again, Joe?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Joe?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Okay, we did your general question, we did you, and
we did me. Do you feel satisfying.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I do feel pretty satisfied, Lyle. It's always been kind
of a dream to uh talk to you, whether I'm
on the show or not, because I show about that before,
whether or not this would get posted, and you know,
I really don't care as long as as long as
I was able to talk to you. That was kind
of my only goal.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Thanks, Joe, I sincerely, I'm very honored that, uh, that
you want to talk to me. I'm I'm going to
try to uh, I'm gonna try. I'm going to try
to not end this sentence by saying something self deprecating.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
So thank you, Joe.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Is there anything else you want to say to the
people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, I kind of got a riddle for you and
everybody watch.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
This guy had three topics.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
This guy had a general question, something for me, and
something with him, And little did we know that the
whole fucking time, he also had a riddle in his
back pocket.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
This crazy fucking quality. Tell me your riddle.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Well, there's no real answer to the riddle. It all
depends on what you feel like your answer would be.
It's a personalized riddle. But if you stand for something,
what would you fall for?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
That's this is the eminem quote, right if you stand
if you don't stand for anything, if you don't stand
for something, you fall for anything.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
No, it's not an eminem quote.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
You have to tell it to me right now. I'm
done with guesses. I need the answer to this riddle
right now.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I mean, what would you fall for? Lyle?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I will hang up on you if you don't tell
me the answer to this riddle.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I can tell you what I would fall for. Do
you want to know?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Do I want to know?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Okay, tell me Joe.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I would fall for probably the best life that I
can get with a nice family and you know, everything
taken care of, no bills, everything comfortable, and just the
life anybody would want to live.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
What the what the fuck kind of riddle was that?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I told you it's personalized. It all depends on what
you would stand for and what you would call for.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
That wasn't a riddle. That was just like, uh, I
don't know what that was, Joe, What was that?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, what defines the riddle? Words are just words. You
can make them mean anything, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
That was a very riddlely thing for of you to say,
So I'm going to count that as you're good.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Those are very riddlely thing.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Well, it's been a pleasure to talking to you, Joe,
and uh, good luck with with your crazy life and
your and your long dish New Jersey relationship. Yeah we can.
We can fucking do bumper cars. I mean, not the

cars moving to Syracuse.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
All right, take care Joe.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
For that ship all the way, Take care of Lyle.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That was the worst riddle I've ever heard in my
entire life.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Well? I gotta respond, I gotta think about it again.
If you don't stand for something, you fall for anything.
This is like an Andy cough is he doing? If
you don't stand for something, you will If you don't
stand for for anything, what would you fall for? I
would fall for a good life and kids. And that
was that was an acid trip of a riddle right there.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You know what that actually? If the point of a
riddle is to.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Confuse and and too shock, I don't know if that
shocked me. I mean you know, actually no, it shocked
me a little bit. If the point of a riddle
is to confuse and shock, then that that was a
good riddle.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Hi, what's your name? Mogwai Mogwi? What's up, Mogwi? How

Chilling? It's my first time getting on the stream.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Very cool, very good, very good. Where you call him from?
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I'm calling from Canada.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Uh, I was just in Canada. I was just in Toronto.
Toronto is a great town, dude. Yeah, I was just there.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
You didn't know I was there, which is crazy because
I listened to all the pods so.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
What you listen?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
It's so crazy I do people. Yeah, I just did
two shows there. Man, you should have game it was fun.
They're good shows. They're fun.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I'm actually kind of shaking my head that I missed that.
I always say to myself, if you're ever here, I
was going to pull up.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
That's quite how to sho that. No, I was, Yeah,
I was there. Yeah, dude, Well, I mean I'm probably
never coming back.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That's not true. I'll come back, but it'll be at
least a year.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I don't say that, breaking my heart ring.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
No, man, no, no, I'll come back, but it's going
to be at least a year. But I mean, well, anyway, Look,
we're on the look. Despite all that, we are on
the phone with each other right now, So let's take
advantage of this.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Yeah, a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
What do you want to talk about?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Man, man, I have so much I want to talk
to you about. But can I tell you quick story? First?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
You've well, I guess before is how uh sure? Yeah,
all right.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
This one's a little a little graphic, but I've been
wanting to share this story with the world for a
long time. So basically, to preface, it's about how one
time I nutted blood and there's no I didn't really
get any answers as to why it happened.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It just it just happened.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Fucking Christ, Okay was it? What more to the story
is there than just that one simple sentence?
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Like the way that it happened was traumatic. Basically I
was with my ex partner and you know, we were
getting into it or whatever, and like when I had
pulled out and I looked down, it was like it
was a different color.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
So I was like, well, what the fuck?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
And yeah, like we turned the lights on and it
was blood. And then I went to my doctor and
the doctor's like they did their thing and they looked
and I was like, like, am I gonna die? Like
do I have to get my junk cut off? And
they were just like no. But we also don't know
why it happened. And I don't know. I'm a little
(28:15):
traumatized ever since then that happened, Like that happened like
five years ago maybe, and like I just never got
any answers and then it never happened again.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Well, now you know what it's like to be a woman.
You know, you have blood coming out of your.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Out of your out of your hole. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
There's a lot of stuff going on in the human body.
There's a lot of holes and a lot of pipes
and tubes running around, and you know, sometimes the tubes
just get tied up. You know, sometimes the blood tube
makes its way into the come.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Tube down the wrong pipe.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Right.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
You said you had a whole bunch of things you
wanted to talk about. What are some other ones?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Well, I'm gonna be honest with you, like my life
has just been if you know those ones where your
life just feels like it's like.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Uh, do me, do me, do me a favorite brother?
Are you outside?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I have to run outside real quick?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Could you go inside?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Is this better?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yes? Okay, what were you saying?
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Okay? Perfect? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Sorry?
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You know those ones with like my life, your life
feels like it's like kind of just falling apart.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Uh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Yeah, Like it's like that right now, you know, like
they say like bad things happen in threees and stuff
like that, and like I feel like I'm waiting for
the third bad thing to happen. Like just last week,
a week ago today, my car died, like it it's
just it just died.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
It's done.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I'd to scrap it. And and then what else would
happen before that?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (29:54):
And then no, after that so my car died last Friday,
and then I hurt my back, like I really like
messed up my back on the weekend, like last weekend
on Saturday, and like I messed it up so bad
that like I haven't been able to work for the
whole week, and then I've just been at home laying
on my back, like just dying, just kind of like
(30:16):
reflecting on my life, like this is where I am
right now, which like, okay, it's not a bad place
to be, but like you know, it's just I feel
like it just set me back.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
What have you learned anything from these reflections as you've
been out of commission?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
But I feel like kind of but at the same time,
like I don't know, I feel like maybe I've been
dwelling a little bit, but it just it feels like
everything that's happened right now has just kind of been
out of my control. But it's ultimately just put me
in like I don't know, just like a really rough spot.
(31:01):
I guess, like I don't really know what to what
to necessarily take away from that other than life can
be life can be a bit sometimes, I guess, maybe
just roll with the punches as best as you can
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Sure that's a good analysis. I suppose let me can
I I just before I I just before we continue
or before we go? I uh, I want to listen.
Do you sound like a nice guy? I want to
make sure that this being on the phone with me
today has been of any kind of positive benefit to you.
(31:40):
And so I ask you, is there anything that you
kind of I guess wanted out of this phone call
that I can do for you.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
I'll be honest with you, man, Honestly, like I've called
in a bunch of times, and you know, I've always
hit the the little voicemail thing saying the line is busy.
So just kind of being able to, you know, get
in on the on the stream and be able to
chop it up with you a little bit, that's.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Been really cool.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Cool.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yeah, man, I don't know if that's anything away with that.
It would be like I've had a good little chat
with the.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Get if it makes you feel any better.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I I actually I was scratching my asshole, uh today
and there was some blood which was concerning every once every.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
But I will I'll say this though, and because I
really think that you're an American hero because bloody. I've
had a bloody asshole many times throughout my life. It's
called it's there's a word for it. You guys can
look this up if you have, if you have nothing
else to do. It's called an anal fissure. Yeah, an
anal fissure. It's when you get like a little cut
(32:50):
in your asshole. And that's why it's why you're that's
why it bleeds. But uh no, the I'd much rather
have a bloody asshole than a bloody dick hole. If
I had a bloody dick hole, I'd probably be I'd
be mortified. So I think you're an American hero for
because He's why. The reason I say you're an American
hero is because cosmically, I really believe that coming blood
(33:15):
is something that had to have happened at least once
to someone right like the it was, it was multiple
people's divine destiny to come blood. Uh And I think
that those people were kind of selected at random by
the by the universe, and you happen to be one
of them. And so it's the fact that you came blood,
(33:38):
the fact that you not that you volunteered to do it,
but you know it was noble of you to take
on that helm of of the person who came blood,
of the inevitable person to come blood. Even if you
didn't sign up to do it, I still think it was.
It's a noble cross to bear, and so I commended
for that.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
I can I share something else about that, say, same
topic that I also I meant to share, but I forgot.
It's just I'm releasing the trauma right now on on
the on the stream.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Well, yeah, after all.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
That happened, and I went to the doctors and like
they looked at it. They sent me to like a specialist.
And this is the part that's actually like all my
male listeners, y'all got plucky ears for a second. They
stuck a camera down my dick hole.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. That's the thing that's real.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
That's the whole thing that one's messed up, man, that
one had me messed up. I needed to like let
it out somewhere. And I always said I on the stream,
I'm telling the world.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
It's the dick hole selfie.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
It literally is the dick hole selfie. But they never
sent me the picture that they took.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
They never sent you the picture. Is it like is
it is it?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Like is it like Disney World where you have to
pay for it and they send it to you in
a frame?
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Well, I don't know, like our healthcare out here is.
But just because it's free doesn't mean it's good.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
No, it's fine. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I would think in Canada they send you home with
a little key chain with the picture of the inside
of your dick hole on it, like or they or
they put it in like a or they put it
in a custom snow globe or something.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Yeah, Like I'd like the little keychain that would say
like I survived the dick hole selfie or something like
they didn't give me any anesthetics, or like Mets, they
just raw dogs my door.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Wait, they didn't give you anesthetics. They just shove that
motherfucker in.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah, or they put like this, it's like freezing gel
in like kind of like a freezing gel like that
they use at the dentist. It didn't really do anything.
And if I'm being real with you, get it kind
of hurt when they.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Put Jesus like it. Fuck, I thought they put you
under or something.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Well that's what I thought too, And so they told
me when they like when they did the dick hole selfie.
They're like, you can't tense up at all, Like you
can't flex your muscles, you can't like you can't like
clench your because if you do that then it'll make
this like it'll make your dick hole tents up as
well and they'll have to like push through it. So
like the whole time I was there, like they're trying
(36:10):
to tell me, like, yo, imagine you're on like a
tropical island and you're on a vacation, and how am
I going to do that? Man like put me under Please.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Well, I hope that making everyone listening to this feel
worse made you feel better.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I really mean that.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Isn't that like the rule of the internet or one
of the rules of the internet, Like if I thought
you have.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
To see it do or something like, you know, that's fair.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
I'm just abiding by the law man, you know.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
No, that's fair. If I had to have a.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Stick shoved in my dick hole, I would want to
share that pain with other people too.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Yeah, well, it was just part of releasing the trauma.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Is there anything else you want to say to the
people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 4 (36:55):
The only thing I want to say to you guys
before I go is don't come blood, don't do it
not recommended, have.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
A good night, you will buy geck.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
That's what I realized. I meant that it had to
have been somebody. Every horrible thing that, every horrible scenario.
What's there's a word for this?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Does anyone know what this? There's there's like if it
is possible to happen, it will happen. Uh?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
What the fuck is the there's a phrase for like
anything that can happen will happen. Oh, please please leave
it in the comments if you know this phrase. But
there's a phrase maybe the chat. Can you let me
look at the Murphy's law. Yes, Murphy's law. It's the
Murphy's law. So Murphy's law. If if it is possible
(37:49):
for one to bleed out of one's dick hole, it
will happen to somebody. So, uh, whatever horrible thing has
ever happened to you in your life, just know eventually
it had to happen to someone. It's unfortunate, sure that
it happened to you, but take a little pride in it.
You know it had to happen to even if you
(38:11):
didn't volunteer for whatever horrible thing happens to you. It
had to happen to someone had to do it. It's
like it's like cleaning toilets. You know, there's even if
it's not the job you wanted, it's noble. It's a
noble thing to do. It has to be done. So
that's why I think. That's why I think this guy's
(38:31):
a hero for coming blood out of his dick. Hello, Hi,
what is your name?
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Fatima?
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Fatima? What's up? Fatima? Uh?
Speaker 5 (38:43):
Nothing right? What's up with to you?
Speaker 3 (38:46):
That's something you would say to a kid on on
the playground, if you're trying to make him, make him
feel bad, you say, you say you got a Fatima,
You got a fat mom. Sorry, sorry, sorry for saying that.
Is there any is there anything in particular you wanted
to talk about, Fatima?
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yeah, Actually I wanted to talk about how I'm like
forced to move in and sleep with my grandma, like
starting July of next year, and I.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Really do not want to.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
How old are you?
Speaker 5 (39:23):
I'm nineteen, I'm gonna be twenty like next week.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
You're you What do you mean You're being forced to
sleep with your grandma?
Speaker 5 (39:32):
So basically, my grandma has dementia, and I go over
like every other week to go take care of her,
to see how she's doing, and my mom will tell
me how her adventure is gonna get worse soon, so
it would be best if we move in with her
so we can just always keep an eye on her.
And she doesn't have that many rooms to sleep in,
(39:54):
so I'm forced to sleep on the same bed as
my grandma until I don't know however long.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Wow, so she's sleeping in your just I just I
guess started trying to make it, make it all, get
the right photo. She's moving in with your family, or
she was already there, so she.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Has her own house like thirty minutes from where I live,
or like my actual house, And so we were just
having to move in at her house because apparently she
was going to originally move into our guest room because
we had it just there and it'll be easier for us.
(40:39):
And we told my grandma about the idea, and my
mom told me that she said that she'd rather die
than move into the house. So I guess her only
choice is to move into her house.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
How big is her house?
Speaker 5 (40:55):
It's two bedrooms one bathroom, well, I guess two bathrooms.
Her room has a bathroom, and then it just has
a kitchen, living room. But the thing about her ahead,
go ahead, oh sorry, Oh. The thing about her house
is that it's like a connected home where it's rented
to different people. So one side of the house has
(41:19):
like a whole different family, but it's it's like disconnected,
we can't really go through. And then there's like a
whole different building where the upstairs there's like a family
live in there, and then downstairs is where my mom
and my mom's husband's gonna live, and my brother's gonna
live in the other room. I'm hating to sleep in
my grandma room.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
So you were the one who got stuck sleeping in
the same room with your grandma? Yeah, and you're gonna
sleep in the same bed, yeah, why don't you just
get an air mattress?
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Her room isn't that big, Like I feel like her
room is more of like just one pathway you can
go forward, and then one pathway to go out of
the door, and.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
Then who so you guys are all you guys? How
long are you guys gonna be with your with your grandma.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
For I feel like probably to the rest of her life.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Honestly, And then what's happening with your house?
Speaker 5 (42:26):
So my mom wants to rent out the house to
people so we don't have to sell it and we
can just go back whenever. I think that's the plan
that she wants to do. I don't know if there's
any other plant, but that's why she told me.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
So what's going on with you, fannie Ma? Are you in?
You in school? Do you work?
Speaker 5 (42:53):
Oh? Yeah, I am in school. Actually my school is
like pretty close to my grandma's house. But the thing
about my work is that it's it's closer to my
actual house. So I would just have to like move
to a different work and I guess i'd be pretty
much it. I was thinking of dorming at my school,
(43:15):
but I looked at the prices for dorms and they're
way way too expensive for me.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Yeah, I guess this is kind of This is kind
of just like a you know, a situation you got
to deal with until you can get on your feet
enough to cobble together enough money to move out and
like be independent.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
Yeah, I feel like it's gonna be hard. I'm not
really good at saving money either.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
So what do you what do you spend money on.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
Mainly on food, a lot of food and close and
just like use this, I'm not probably.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Not gon use do you have a good RelA?
Speaker 3 (44:02):
What's your like actual relationship like with your grandma?
Speaker 5 (44:07):
My grandma, honestly, she she loves me, to be honest,
and she keeps mentioning the fact since you have mentioned
she came spent the back time when A lived her house,
and she keeps thinking, I don't know, I kind of
like go with it. But I'm fine with my grandma.
It's just the thing is that she told me a
few months ago when I was taking care of her.
Speaker 6 (44:26):
She was like, uh, oh, by the way.
Speaker 5 (44:28):
Like I haven't been going out lately, and no, what
it really comes over? So I haven't showered in like
five days?
Speaker 4 (44:34):
Oh no, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
Girl, you gotta shower if we're gonna be fucking sleeping
in the bed together.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
Oh Jesus Christ, Fatima, Oh man, what why don't you
just like, well, why don't you sleep with in like
your Is it like less weird or horrible to sleep
in with you in your the same room as your brother?
Speaker 5 (45:02):
No, I've actually slept in the same room with my
brother before. It's just the thing is that my uncle
also lives with my grandma and he's sitting in that room.
But it's a pretty big room, so it can fit
like two beds. But I feel like that's it. It
will only fit two beds.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
Hm hmm.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
Okay, So your your grandma pretty much tells you the
news that you guys are going to be sleeping together,
like multiple multiple times in a row.
Speaker 5 (45:31):
Yeah, I don't mind.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
To be honest, is she excited? Is that is it?
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Like?
Speaker 3 (45:36):
Does she seem happy about it?
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Honestly?
Speaker 5 (45:41):
I think so. Every time she tells me, she always
smiles and like, oh, did your mom tell you this already?
Like you're gonna be living here? He things excited And
I feel so bad to say that I don't want
to move in with her.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
No, you know you should. You should.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
That's uh, that's really nice for you, shoul. I don't
think you should feel bad. I don't think that many
like nineteen year olds trying to fucking like move out
and be like independents are stoked to. I don't think
you should feel bad about not being stoked to sleep
in a bed with your grandma.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
I think that's a.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Very understandable feeling, not to not to beat yourself up about.
Speaker 5 (46:25):
Oh I'm glad about that part.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
Then what's your what's uh? What's the dream? What? What
do you? What are you going to be?
Speaker 3 (46:35):
What life are you going to be fantasizing about while
you're on your sigma grindset in your in your grandma's bedroom.
Speaker 5 (46:46):
I don't know. I've thought about a few places or
like things to do. I think my first idea was
to become a veterinarian cool, but that would require a
lot of school and a lot of years of doing stuff.
Other than that, I've also wanted to move in to
Canada in Vancouver. That's another idea, but I feel like
(47:09):
their prices are away a little bit higher than they
are here, so that's another issue.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
What's going on in Vancouver?
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Was it just like a city you were like, oh,
that could be cool or something specific?
Speaker 6 (47:19):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (47:20):
So I was.
Speaker 5 (47:22):
Let me tell you the backstory. So basically, I was
working and I had these guests come up to me
that are from Canada, and I work at a movie theater,
so they were telling me how the sizes are like humongous,
and then afterwards we were like talking for a bit
and they were telling me how I should go to Vancouver,
Canada because they said I would fit in. And they
(47:42):
also said there was like a festival thing they have
where they give out like free food and free concerts
and it's for everyone and they have it once a year.
So that was pretty cool. They probably have that here,
I don't know, not that I know of, but it
just seemed like, oh, like, that's that's so cool if
I were to live somewhere that I had that.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Yeah, no, you sound you sound like no, you sound
you sound like, uh, you want to do ship?
Speaker 2 (48:12):
You know.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
Yeah, it's a natural impulse to want to do ship.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
I by the way, I really I think that if
if you have the impulse to want to do ship,
I like, I don't believe in manifestation in like a
woo woo you put things out into the universe. I
think the universe is pretty fucking indifferent to us. But like,
(48:37):
for a purely like my mind connection point of view,
I do think if you have it in your like
gut that you want to do things that that like
you eventually will even if you're not doing it like
(48:58):
right fucking now, even if you're in uh, your Grandma's
room for a little bit. You if that, if that
exists in your gut that you want to go go
out and do ship.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
I think that you you eventually will.
Speaker 6 (49:14):
Go.
Speaker 5 (49:14):
I'm gonna keep that mindset while I'm over there. A grund.
Speaker 4 (49:18):
Yeah, I remember you.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Vancouver is a good Vancouver's a good place. It's got
a lot of trees.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
What what are you? What state are you in?
Speaker 5 (49:32):
I'm in California?
Speaker 3 (49:33):
Okay, all right, that's cool. Yeah, well, uh is is
there anything else that you wanted to to talk about
or say or other aspects of this?
Speaker 5 (49:50):
I actually do so. I was actually gonna go to
your live show on November ninth that I was gonna
wait until I get taked. Who I don't have any
money and I was checking on the tickets and it
was so out. Yeah, okay next time.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
BYO see it.
Speaker 5 (50:38):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Bye bye, Fatima.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Hello, Hello, Hi.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
What is your name?
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Caitlyn?
Speaker 1 (50:46):
Caitlin? What's up, Kaitlyn? How you doing?
Speaker 6 (50:48):
I'm pretty good?
Speaker 2 (50:49):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (50:51):
I'm actually doing okay, I'm feeling I'm actually feeling fairly
locked in and I'm excited and read to talk to
you about whatever it is that you wanted to talk about.
Speaker 6 (51:06):
Okay, Now, I'm all nervous. I didn't think of that.
Speaker 3 (51:08):
No, don't be nervous. This is a low pressure situation.
There's no h this is this is this is one
of the this is one of the least important things
going on in America right now.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Or probably also probably the world.
Speaker 3 (51:25):
This is probably one of the least important things going
on in the entire world right now. So there's just
no pressure whatsoever.
Speaker 6 (51:33):
Okay, all right, So I kind of wanted to talk
to you about. So I'm about to graduate from school
and the career field I'm trying to get into is
like really competitive. So We're thinking about moving to just
anywhere in America, and I'm bringing my boyfriend along with me.
(51:55):
So I have moved across the country by myself before.
I have not, and I'm scared, but he's going to
like not like where we move, or it's going to
be harder to make friends with a significant other along
with me.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Hm hmm.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
Well, he's not moving across the country alone. He's moving
across the country with you.
Speaker 6 (52:21):
This is true, But then we both have to like
make friends independently, and I feel like it's a lot
easier when you're like by yourself making friends rather than
when like, I don't know, he's trying to make you know.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
Your your are you? Are you?
Speaker 2 (52:35):
Well?
Speaker 1 (52:35):
Okay, first of all, where where are you moving from?
And where are you going to?
Speaker 6 (52:40):
So right now we're in Colorado and it's looking like
we're going to go to Chicago.
Speaker 4 (52:44):
Well that's the goal.
Speaker 2 (52:45):
Cool to Chicago, but we could.
Speaker 6 (52:46):
Go to like Kansas or somewhere random wherever I can
get a.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
Job really cool.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
Well, I mean Chicago would be way better than Kansas
if you're trying to interact with other human beings. Definitely
definitely more expensive, But it depends on I guess what
you what you can hack?
Speaker 1 (53:05):
Okay, So your boyfriend, how old are you? Guys? Well,
you're yeah old, he guys.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
I'm old.
Speaker 6 (53:12):
I'm twenty nine and he is thirty.
Speaker 3 (53:17):
And you've you're an experienced mover across that you sound
just I can kind of the way you're talking about
this sounds like you've like confidently done things like this
in your life before.
Speaker 4 (53:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (53:30):
So I moved from California to here by myself and
I didn't know anyone, and I was like twenty floor
when I did that. So I feel like I would
be okay if I was moving by myself. But it's
like more scary to drag someone along with me in
case he doesn't like it, or in case.
Speaker 3 (53:48):
He Well, the good here's the good news is you're
actually not dragging him along with you. He's actually making
his own independent decision to come with you, knowing the
pros and the cons, weighing them, and choosing to go
along with you because he wants to be with you,
(54:09):
maybe because he's open to new adventures and excitement in
his life. And it is it is, it is, in
fact his choice.
Speaker 1 (54:19):
You are not.
Speaker 3 (54:21):
Hopefully you're not tying him up and throwing him in
the trunk of your car and driving it to Kansas.
Speaker 6 (54:28):
No, that wasn't the plan I would.
Speaker 3 (54:33):
So, I mean, from my perspective, I really wouldn't think
of this, Like you, look, you two are how long
he has been together?
Speaker 6 (54:45):
Four years?
Speaker 1 (54:47):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (54:47):
So yeah, I mean, look, you two are in a
partnership and trying to support each other, and you clearly
give a fuck that he isn't miserable.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
All the time.
Speaker 2 (54:56):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (54:59):
I mean is he.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
Like, why are you nervous? Is he like socially not
not good?
Speaker 4 (55:08):
No, not at all?
Speaker 6 (55:08):
But like he has his family here and I don't
have any like real connections to hear, but he's been
here for like a lot longer than I have, and
he has like all of his work friends and everything.
So he'd be leaving like everyone that he's been with
for like ten years to go somewhere new. And I
feel like if I hadn't like entered his life, he'd
probably just stay here and be happy with him.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
No, but you can't.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
Yeah, but you really, he's this guy's making You didn't
coax him into it. He's making his own.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
Decision.
Speaker 6 (55:38):
Yeah. Yeah, this is true.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
And you're a good uh, you're a good girlfriend to
want to help him with uh, with this and like
work together with him on this, and you guys are
like building a life together.
Speaker 1 (55:52):
That's really awesome.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
But you know.
Speaker 3 (55:56):
I mean, at the end of the fucking day, this guy,
he's got a kind of he's got to summon the uh,
the the whatever the thing it takes to be like,
all right, I'm gonna put myself out there in this way.
I'm gonna maybe try go and do this. I'm gonna
you know, hey, you want to come with me to this?
And then you know, he's got a you can't be
fully responsible for, like his uh whether or not he
(56:20):
has a good social life in this new city he's
deciding to move to with you.
Speaker 6 (56:25):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (56:30):
Yeah, I don't know if that I don't know if
that resonates with you it does.
Speaker 6 (56:39):
Do you have any advice on how we can meet
people and feel more like we have a community in
a new place together.
Speaker 3 (56:47):
Well, if you go to Kansas, you can wander around
the Dick's Sporting Goods and see if if you make
any friends.
Speaker 1 (56:59):
What do you guys like.
Speaker 6 (57:03):
Music? I like to hike and being nature and stuff.
He's a graphic designer and he likes all that computer stuff.
Speaker 3 (57:14):
Okay, bam, okay, here here join a hiking group. Bam,
one and done. Go to small intimate live music shows
and talk to people. Bam, join a fucking art graphic
design coworking group, or start one bam. Three things. Uh,
(57:37):
probably can't do any of them in Kansas. Maybe maybe
I'm sorry for shooting on Maybe they're you know, I'm
sorry for shooting on Kansas.
Speaker 1 (57:42):
Maybe you can do that in Kansas, but I fear
that on Casus.
Speaker 3 (57:46):
Yeah, but yeah, we'll just do stuff, do stuff, start
your own stuff. Just did to leave your house, go
on the internet. There's it's literally never ever, ever been
easier to like going to a new place and starting
a life. There has never been easier. If you have
some like if if you have if you have the
(58:10):
desire to fucking do it, you have to be willing
to go out and put yourself out there and and
uh find communities and add to them somehow.
Speaker 4 (58:19):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (58:19):
But if you do that, you're going to be fine
wherever you go, especially a place like Chicago.
Speaker 6 (58:26):
You know that's very true.
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Anything else.
Speaker 6 (58:32):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (58:35):
All right, Well, where do you think? Where do you
think we go when we die? Do you think it's
somewhere horrible?
Speaker 2 (58:45):
No?
Speaker 6 (58:45):
I feel like I want to believe that we get
like resurrected into our favorite animal.
Speaker 1 (58:50):
What's your favorite animal?
Speaker 6 (58:53):
A koala?
Speaker 1 (58:55):
Would you want to be a koala?
Speaker 6 (58:58):
Yeah, it would be sick. You just symmetry.
Speaker 1 (59:02):
Did they look really cute? Yeah? I went to Australia
and I saw.
Speaker 3 (59:07):
Some of them, and some of them will run around
and it's good.
Speaker 1 (59:11):
It's good time to be one. But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (59:14):
Sometimes I wonder if it was better, if it might
have been better to be other.
Speaker 1 (59:17):
Things than just a human. I'm human.
Speaker 3 (59:20):
Humans are both blessed and burdened with our higher consciousness.
And you got I guess you have to decide for
yourself if it's a burden or a blessing.
Speaker 4 (59:31):
But how do you know?
Speaker 6 (59:32):
Koalas don't have a higher consciousness just like us?
Speaker 1 (59:35):
But they don't. We we because you know why?
Speaker 3 (59:38):
I know that because some guy at one point took
a koala and just took a chainsaw and sawed him
in half and looked at his brain like a lot.
And and then and then some other guy did the
same thing with like a lot of people, just took
their bodies and cut sliced them up with a chainsaw
(59:59):
and looked at their brains, and they took each other's information,
and they came to a scientific conclusion the koalas are
dumber than human beings.
Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
I don't know if that's right, but I'll take your
word on it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
Is there anything else you want to say to the
people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (01:00:20):
Thanks for talking to me.
Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Later, dude. Kansas. By the way, just if anyone's listening
to this that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Lives in Kansas and you want to be like, no,
we actually have a great live music scene, and no,
we actually have lots of great nature in Kansas. I'm
open to it. I'm open to I want to I
have no it benefits me in no way, shape or form.
If Kansas is shitty, I've been. I've like, where the
fuck have I been in Kansas? Where the hell? Where
(01:00:49):
the fuck even it? Hold on, I'm going on Google Maps.
I'm looking at Kansas. Where the hell is Kansas? I
know I've been there. You know what's so stupid is
that Kansas City isn't even in Kansas. What's the big
city in Kansas? Topeka, dude. The other's Wichita.
Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
Oh look, oh look, okay, I'm looking at Wichita, Kansas.
They have an urban air trampoline, an Adventure Park. They
have a music venue. Okay, all right, you know what, Fine,
Maybe you know what, Maybe you could. You know what,
I bet, if y'all really wanted to, you could live
a nice life in Wichita, Kansas.
Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
I really, I bet you could. I bet you could.
Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
Goes on the line, taking your phone calls every night, goes,
he's teaching you.
Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Loud in the Life an expert
Hey, what's your name?
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Joe?
Speaker 1 (00:01):
How how be it going, Joe?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's not bad. I've been trying to call you for
probably like a week now, and it's probably like my
six hundredth call, so I'm pretty excited.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Have we ever spoken before?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We have not, but I watch your streams every day
when I'm at work. My buddy has YouTube Premium, so
I just darkened my phone and I just listen to
you while I work.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Cool, cool man.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Thank you for thank you for indulging in my bullshit.
I I'm sincerely, sincerely honored by that. What what when
you listen to the show and you think, well, if
I were on the Gecko Show, this is what I
would talk about?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
What do you think? What do you think you would
talk about?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Well? I have three things I wanted to talk to
you about, one pertaining you, one pertaining my life, and
then one just a general question.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Let's I thank you for laying that all out for me.
Let's can I choose the order in which we do them?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
For sure? Manage your show.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Let's start with the general question.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Okay, how do you feel about baths?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
B A T H or B A T S.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
B A T H.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
How do I feel about baths. I like baths. Well,
I'm a big Here's the thing I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Baths are like a whole thing to fill them up
and feels weird, kind of like I don't like the
silence of baths.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Like I'm a big I'm a big huge.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Every time sit down in the shower or I love
sitting down in the shower. I don't take baths, but
I sit down in that shower every single time I'm
in the shower, and a bath is kind of like
sitting down in the shower, except it's two static of
an experience, right, like the sound and the feeling of
(02:05):
the water coming from above feels it is an important
element of my relaxation. So I'm not personally a big
bath guy.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
But.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know, I get it. I get it. What about you?
How do you feel about baths?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I feel like there had to have been a reason
why you asked this question, and I'm curious what that
reason might be.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, I've partaken them sometimes after a long day at work.
I do housekeeping and I also am a cashier, so
I have two jobs. So every now and then I
like to take a nice, warm, hot bath and maybe
even put some bath salts in there and just relax
after a long day. You know. Cool?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Cool? All right, you know what you've inspired me?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Next time, I'm gonna try a bath sometime soon based
on your recommendation. Hell yeah, all right, now, let's do
your life and then we can go to May.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Okay. So basically a couple months ago, right before I
want to say, summer of this year, I got really
sick at work and I felt like like fainting and
stuff all the time, and I had hot sweats and
I was in confusion and stuff, and I just wasn't
understanding it. And it turns out I got lime disease
(03:25):
because I mow lawns and stuff a lot and do
landscaping in the summer. And I didn't even know that
I had it. And me and my girlfriend are long distance.
She lives in New Jersey and I live in New York,
and so when I found out I had lime disease,
I kind of ghosted her, but I kind of ghosted
everybody just for that. I want to say, probably month
(03:46):
months and a half period of time where I had
to get antibiotics and you know, get treated for everything,
and I just didn't know how to handle everything. So
I kind of ghosted everybody, and she got really upset
with me because I hurt her by that, you know,
And I know you don't really like giving relationship advice
like that, but I just wanted to turn to you
because she's still heard about it and it comes up
(04:09):
in arguments here and there. But we still want to
make things work and I really care for her, So
amongst you know, going to see her and putting more
efforts in, is there any advice you can give me
on trying to be better or do things differently?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well, first of I'm curious, why did you ghost everyone?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I would think if that that seems like something you'd
want like support with, So I guess I want to
know why you ghosted everyone.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, my whole life, I've kind of just been used
to ghosting people when stuff happens, because I had a
really traumatic childhood where a lot of people weren't there
for me that should have been. And I definitely know
that it's wrong, you know, and it's not something that
I should have done, and that it hurts people. But
I really didn't even know how to understand how it
was feeling myself, especially because I was told if I
(05:00):
would have waited very much longer. It could have been
a lot worse.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So well, forget well, forget about the value judgments of
like you know, saying like I know it's bad, Like
why do you think you'd do it?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I think it all stems back to childhood, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But so that, But then I guess, even if even
if that's true, what is the belief that you're like
subconsciously holding on to as an adult that is influencing
your decision to ghost everyone.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I kind of think it just goes back to, you know,
being by myself and knowing that if I could come
to terms with whatever is going on by myself, then
maybe I'd be more open to being around everyone more.
But especially when I don't understand things or things that
are very traumatic, I kind of just tend to shut
(06:00):
down and isolate, you know, and I try to do
things that make me happy, even if they're momentarily happy,
things like playing video games or you know, and just
not contacting anybody.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
So is it just you're not contacting anybody because you
don't want to be I'm still I'm still trying to
understands why this Is it just you'd just rather be alone.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Maybe in a way, it's getting my mind off of
things and not having to talk about whatever situation is
going on, especially if I'm doing something else like playing
video games or smoking weed or just doing something alone.
Maybe it's just the fact that I'm getting my mind
off of those things without other people and being reminded
of whatever situation, especially traumatic.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Are you associating other people?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Just are you still saying just like, if I'm around
other people, they're gonna want to know what's going on
with me, and I'm gonna have to keep fucking talking
about it, and I don't feel like doing that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Uh, definitely at times. Yeah, I'd probably say sixty to
seventy percent of the time. Yeah, that's mostly the case.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Interesting, So your girlfriend is mad at you, not so
much anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
She's still pretty hurt about it, but you know, she's like,
I'm always trying to understand why you did it, but
it's kind of hard to understand because I'm not you, you know,
And I'm like, just know that I didn't do it
with the intentions of hurting you or hurting anyone. I
just did it because I really didn't know how to
deal with it myself, and it was a very hard
(07:42):
time for me.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You know, yeah, what is okay? I mean it sounds
like you're articulating your feelings in an honest way and
not like so I guess you. I mean that's really
all you can do. I think, Yeah, well, how long
(08:08):
ago was this?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Probably right before summer? It's like mid spring of this year.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, I know, are you guys like cool?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
What how are you guys doing?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Now? We have arguments here and there, and especially when
that comes up during the argument, you know, but I
try to move past it, and I tell her that
I'm going to like fix everything and make everything the
way it should be. But you know, we have to
let time play out with that part, because that's another
important thing that's linked to all of this, is just time,
(08:38):
especially when you're trying to grow and love somebody and
you know, be connected together.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
How's your line disease? Are you gonna? Are you? Are
you good?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah? I had to take antibiotics for like a month.
They said it's always gonna probably like be in my
system and stuff. But they're a lot better with the
antibiotics to put it into remission to where it'll never
like relapse or anything whatever. Come back up with it again.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Okay, so you're not about to like like turn into
a giant tick like that the Fly movie.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
No, okay, well that's good.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I still can't believe I'm talking to you, bro. It's
so crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
How old are you? I'm just curious.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I'm going to be twenty seven in March.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Cool, very cool? And how long you've been with been
with the Jersey Lady?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
November twentieth, I'm going to see her, but November eleventh,
it'll be two years.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Okay, that's quite a It's I have to say, it
was really I didn't say anything at the time, but
it was really funny when you said you were in
a long distance relationship. I was like, oh, he's like
there's a lady who lives in Europe or something, and
you were like, I live in New York, she lives
in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well. Another thing a lot of people tend to, uh,
I guess you would say, like misunderstand is when you
say New York a lot of time people just think
of the city.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
But I know you live in like Albany or some ship,
and she lives in like Jersey.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Like, actually, I'm so sad.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I didn't get to get to your show, bro that
actually knows that actually genuinely is a long term, long,
long long distance religship.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Whould you meet this? Uh? Your girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
A dating app was a field? Uh No, I think
it was like ba do or something like that.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
But do.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Oh yeah, I remember Bado. Okay, so she's.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I mean, uh, okay, Well, well, I don't want to
move on.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I was gonna say, I know you had a.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Thing you wanted to ask me, but I don't know
if we've talked all about the things you wanted to
talk about regarding you, I don't know if there's any
other angles to this you wanted to explore.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I kind of just like I said, I know you
hate giving relationship advice because.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I just hate love myself a little. It's good. I'm
happy to talk through stuff with you though.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean other than time, what else
do you think I should do? Just keep putting all
my efforts as much as I can in like I am,
and just wait it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Out, wait what out.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Just getting stronger in the relationship and hopefully moving past
all of this stuff so it doesn't come up all
the time, especially when we're arguing.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I mean, look, You've expressed yourself on what happens with
uh with with you know, when you got diagnosed with
lyme disease, and you kind of expressed that you have
this like defense mechanism that you're trying to understand as
(12:13):
to why you do that. You sound like you listened
to what she had to say and your actioning upon it.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, what else? What else is there? I mean you care?
What else? What else is there?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Right? Right? That's kind of how I feel. I feel
like I just kind of got to keep doing everything
that I can do to be a better person and man,
you know, and especially better in the relationship, and then
wait for time to run its course with everything. You know.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Okay, are you happy not to fucking be a fuck?
Are you happy in this relationship?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah? She's actually a lot different from anybody I've ever
been with. I know, cool and oh go ahead, gosh,
but you know, it's just I've never been this invested
in someone. I would say, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Does that feel Are you excited about being invested in
this person? Yes, that's a great answer, that's the right answer.
That's a tricky thing, though, it's a true it's such
a tricky thing being invested in like that because you
(13:31):
you you leave yourself. It's the kind of the the
the contradiction of love, I guess is you leave yourself
open to to hurt by being so invested in another person.
But I don't know, there's probably been I want to say,
at least one hundred thousand songs that are written about
that subject. And so that investment and that hurt are
(13:53):
just kind of it sounds to be natural parts of life.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah. Yeah, And another way I like to think about it,
you know, is it it does suck leaving yourself solable, vulnerable,
especially putting your all into someone. But you know, I mean,
other than love on this planet and money and success,
what else do we really have other than love, especially
when it comes to friendships, relationships, connections with people. I mean,
(14:20):
it all kind of just boils down to caring, you.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Know, money, success, tropical mic and ikes. They're always coming
up with new flavors of mic and nikes. What was
the thing about me that you wanted to ask?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Do you care if I put you on speaker for
a second, because it was pertaining to one of the
videos on your channel. And I've always been curious on
what the lore behind it is.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I'm really terrified about this, but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Okay, I don't even I probably don't even have to
put you on speaker and go to the channel. But
there's a video on your channel. It's probably about twelve
to fourteen seconds, okay, and it was taken about.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh it's the one where it's the one.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
It's the one where I'm running down the side of
the hideway in Utah.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I'm and I'm screaming.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yes, yeah. Oh.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I wish I had a cool story behind that. I
just kind of thought it would be funny, really well,
you want you want to hear a you want to
hear a really crazy story or not. It's not a story,
but it's just a thing in I used to make
that used to just be a genre of video that
(15:35):
I did. I made like the first back in like
twenty this is the at This is the kind of
the actual origin story of therapy Gecko is Like in
twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I this is the reason why I'm a Gecko.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
In like twenty eighteen, I made this video called I
Am in Love with Clara or it is something like that.
I don't I don't know what the name of the
video is. My channel, but it's restarts Clara. It's probably
on there, and it's just this video where I'm like wet,
I'm like drenched in, I'm like soaking wet, and I'm
running down the streets of Philadelphia screaming about how I'm
(16:15):
in love with a woman named Clara, but she's getting
married to another guy in my bathroom and she's kicked
me out, and all my friends are going to the
wedding and they like, I'm just trying to create a
nightmare situation and just I'm just running down the streets screaming.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
And I made.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Like three of those other videos where I was just
like had a weird, melodramatic love story.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That I was running down.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
The streets soaked in water, yelling. I was making those
kinds of videos, and one of them I made was
me running down the streets in a lizard costume. I
don't know why I came up with this idea, but
the idea is that I was like escaping from a
terrarium and I was running down the streets of of
(17:09):
of the neighborhood. And that's the reason that I have.
There's the reason I had the gecko costume. And then
when the pandemic happens, I started streaming, and the I
just had the costume, and so that's kind of where
like therapy Gecko came.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So yeah, the genre.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Of sorry go ahead, no, you go ahead.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Well, the jat basically very extreme, just in the butterfly
in a very like butterfly effect way. That video, that
fourteen second video of me running down the streets screaming,
is part of the extended lore as to how I
became the therapy Gecko in a in an indirect way.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, that's so odd because the only one I had
stumbled upon was the one of you running down the highway.
But maybe I'll have to go back into.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Your which yes, sure, if you if you go on,
uh you are you all? You said you wanted to
put me on speaker.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I assume that meant because you were just in my
YouTube channel, I.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Would go, but I didn't do it. If you want
me to go look first night.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
You know what, don't you don't don't don't you don't
have to do it. You don't have to do it
right now. You don't have to do it right now.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
But well let me see if it's on there still.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yeah, yes, if you search. If you search Clara, it's
on there. Oh yeah, whatever. I don't know why these
I feel I these they're funny. I don't you know whatever,
they're funny. They're funny.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
What were you going to say?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I seen your stand up A part of your stand
up skit from quite a few years ago where you
were like, I hate when people take psychedelics and they
say that that made me smarter and made me a
different person. He's like, you're just you were like, you're
just taking drugs.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, I was trying to be George Carlin when I
was seventeen.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It was funny, though, dude.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Thanks man.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, I'm a I think that if you never pursued
therapy Gecko eventually stand up would pop for you. You
you definitely would hit it on the head.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, thanks man. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
It's so weird because yeah, I did stand up for
six years before I did the Gecko, and I quit
because I didn't it was just too hard. And then
and now I'm like headline and then I you know,
I went to Syracuse and headlined to the fucking Syracuse
Funny Bone. But I am not a stand up comedian.
(19:44):
But I do stand up East. It's I feel like
I did a very weird roundabout uh, fulfillment of my
of my dreams.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
It's so funny when you talked about you were talking
with a caller. I think that you went to your
Syracuse show and you're like, I don't know how you
guys live out there. There's absolutely nothing to do. The
funnest thing I did was smoke a bowl in the
mall parking lot and a guy gave me a gecko bowl.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
That was a great night. That was in Albany. Yeah,
that was awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah. I smoked weed in the open.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
The club booked an opener and he was a really
cool guy and I sat in his car and we
smoked weed together. It is a really fun time. That's
a good time.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
You spoke there's nothing here.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, but you know what but you know is you Yeah,
but life is creating your own adventures. So if you
really want to have a crazy time in Syracuse, you
can figure out a way to do it.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Oh yeah, there's a lot of nature up here. I'm
sure you've I mean, I don't know how much you
got out when you came up, but there's definitely a
lot of places to hike and natural stuff you can she.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I really most of the time I spent was in
the radius of that mall parking lot that the comedy
club is attached to, which, by the way, is a
sick mall. I they've got go karts. Yeah, whatever the destiny,
moll's sick, they've got go karts.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Man in all, dude.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
My girlfriend knows when she came up, but she's like,
I'm kind of nervous.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I'm like, come on, well, what's your name again, Joe?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Joe?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Okay, we did your general question, we did you, and
we did me. Do you feel satisfying.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I do feel pretty satisfied, Lyle. It's always been kind
of a dream to uh talk to you, whether I'm
on the show or not, because I show about that before,
whether or not this would get posted, and you know,
I really don't care as long as as long as
I was able to talk to you. That was kind
of my only goal.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Thanks, Joe, I sincerely, I'm very honored that, uh, that
you want to talk to me. I'm I'm going to
try to uh, I'm gonna try. I'm going to try
to not end this sentence by saying something self deprecating.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
So thank you, Joe.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Is there anything else you want to say to the
people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, I kind of got a riddle for you and
everybody watch.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
This guy had three topics.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
This guy had a general question, something for me, and
something with him, And little did we know that the
whole fucking time, he also had a riddle in his
back pocket.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
This crazy fucking quality. Tell me your riddle.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Well, there's no real answer to the riddle. It all
depends on what you feel like your answer would be.
It's a personalized riddle. But if you stand for something,
what would you fall for?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
That's this is the eminem quote, right if you stand
if you don't stand for anything, if you don't stand
for something, you fall for anything.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
No, it's not an eminem quote.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
You have to tell it to me right now. I'm
done with guesses. I need the answer to this riddle
right now.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I mean, what would you fall for? Lyle?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I will hang up on you if you don't tell
me the answer to this riddle.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I can tell you what I would fall for. Do
you want to know?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Do I want to know?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Okay, tell me Joe.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I would fall for probably the best life that I
can get with a nice family and you know, everything
taken care of, no bills, everything comfortable, and just the
life anybody would want to live.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
What the what the fuck kind of riddle was that?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I told you it's personalized. It all depends on what
you would stand for and what you would call for.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
That wasn't a riddle. That was just like, uh, I
don't know what that was, Joe, What was that?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, what defines the riddle? Words are just words. You
can make them mean anything, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
That was a very riddlely thing for of you to say,
So I'm going to count that as you're good.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Those are very riddlely thing.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Well, it's been a pleasure to talking to you, Joe,
and uh, good luck with with your crazy life and
your and your long dish New Jersey relationship. Yeah we can.
We can fucking do bumper cars. I mean, not the
bumper cars to go carts. Oh if they had bumper
cars moving to Syracuse.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
All right, take care Joe.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
For that ship all the way, Take care of Lyle.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That was the worst riddle I've ever heard in my
entire life.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Well? I gotta respond, I gotta think about it again.
If you don't stand for something, you fall for anything.
This is like an Andy cough is he doing? If
you don't stand for something, you will If you don't
stand for for anything, what would you fall for? I
would fall for a good life and kids. And that
was that was an acid trip of a riddle right there.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You know what that actually? If the point of a
riddle is to.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Confuse and and too shock, I don't know if that
shocked me. I mean you know, actually no, it shocked
me a little bit. If the point of a riddle
is to confuse and shock, then that that was a
good riddle.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Hi, what's your name? Mogwai Mogwi? What's up, Mogwi? How
you doing?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Chilling?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Chilling? It's my first time getting on the stream.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Very cool, very good, very good. Where you call him from?
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I'm calling from Canada.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Uh, I was just in Canada. I was just in Toronto.
Toronto is a great town, dude. Yeah, I was just there.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
You didn't know I was there, which is crazy because
I listened to all the pods so.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
What you listen?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
It's so crazy I do people. Yeah, I just did
two shows there. Man, you should have game it was fun.
They're good shows. They're fun.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I'm actually kind of shaking my head that I missed that.
I always say to myself, if you're ever here, I
was going to pull up.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
That's quite how to sho that. No, I was, Yeah,
I was there. Yeah, dude, Well, I mean I'm probably
never coming back.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That's not true. I'll come back, but it'll be at
least a year.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I don't say that, breaking my heart ring.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
No, man, no, no, I'll come back, but it's going
to be at least a year. But I mean, well, anyway, Look,
we're on the look. Despite all that, we are on
the phone with each other right now, So let's take
advantage of this.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Yeah, a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
What do you want to talk about?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Man, man, I have so much I want to talk
to you about. But can I tell you quick story? First?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
You've well, I guess before is how uh sure? Yeah,
all right.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
This one's a little a little graphic, but I've been
wanting to share this story with the world for a
long time. So basically, to preface, it's about how one
time I nutted blood and there's no I didn't really
get any answers as to why it happened.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It just it just happened.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Fucking Christ, Okay was it? What more to the story
is there than just that one simple sentence?
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Like the way that it happened was traumatic. Basically I
was with my ex partner and you know, we were
getting into it or whatever, and like when I had
pulled out and I looked down, it was like it
was a different color.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
So I was like, well, what the fuck?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
And yeah, like we turned the lights on and it
was blood. And then I went to my doctor and
the doctor's like they did their thing and they looked
and I was like, like, am I gonna die? Like
do I have to get my junk cut off? And
they were just like no. But we also don't know
why it happened. And I don't know. I'm a little
(28:15):
traumatized ever since then that happened, Like that happened like
five years ago maybe, and like I just never got
any answers and then it never happened again.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Well, now you know what it's like to be a woman.
You know, you have blood coming out of your.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Out of your out of your hole. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
There's a lot of stuff going on in the human body.
There's a lot of holes and a lot of pipes
and tubes running around, and you know, sometimes the tubes
just get tied up. You know, sometimes the blood tube
makes its way into the come.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Tube down the wrong pipe.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Right.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
You said you had a whole bunch of things you
wanted to talk about. What are some other ones?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Well, I'm gonna be honest with you, like my life
has just been if you know those ones where your
life just feels like it's like.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Uh, do me, do me, do me a favorite brother?
Are you outside?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I have to run outside real quick?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Could you go inside?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Is this better?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yes? Okay, what were you saying?
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Okay? Perfect? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Sorry?
Speaker 4 (29:22):
You know those ones with like my life, your life
feels like it's like kind of just falling apart.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Uh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Yeah, Like it's like that right now, you know, like
they say like bad things happen in threees and stuff
like that, and like I feel like I'm waiting for
the third bad thing to happen. Like just last week,
a week ago today, my car died, like it it's
just it just died.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
It's done.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
I'd to scrap it. And and then what else would
happen before that?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (29:54):
And then no, after that so my car died last Friday,
and then I hurt my back, like I really like
messed up my back on the weekend, like last weekend
on Saturday, and like I messed it up so bad
that like I haven't been able to work for the
whole week, and then I've just been at home laying
on my back, like just dying, just kind of like
(30:16):
reflecting on my life, like this is where I am
right now, which like, okay, it's not a bad place
to be, but like you know, it's just I feel
like it just set me back.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
What have you learned anything from these reflections as you've
been out of commission?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
But I feel like kind of but at the same time,
like I don't know, I feel like maybe I've been
dwelling a little bit, but it just it feels like
everything that's happened right now has just kind of been
out of my control. But it's ultimately just put me
in like I don't know, just like a really rough spot.
(31:01):
I guess, like I don't really know what to what
to necessarily take away from that other than life can
be life can be a bit sometimes, I guess, maybe
just roll with the punches as best as you can
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Sure that's a good analysis. I suppose let me can
I I just before I I just before we continue
or before we go? I uh, I want to listen.
Do you sound like a nice guy? I want to
make sure that this being on the phone with me
today has been of any kind of positive benefit to you.
(31:40):
And so I ask you, is there anything that you
kind of I guess wanted out of this phone call
that I can do for you.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
I'll be honest with you, man, Honestly, like I've called
in a bunch of times, and you know, I've always
hit the the little voicemail thing saying the line is busy.
So just kind of being able to, you know, get
in on the on the stream and be able to
chop it up with you a little bit, that's.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Been really cool.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Cool.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yeah, man, I don't know if that's anything away with that.
It would be like I've had a good little chat
with the.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Get if it makes you feel any better.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I I actually I was scratching my asshole, uh today
and there was some blood which was concerning every once every.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
But I will I'll say this though, and because I
really think that you're an American hero because bloody. I've
had a bloody asshole many times throughout my life. It's
called it's there's a word for it. You guys can
look this up if you have, if you have nothing
else to do. It's called an anal fissure. Yeah, an
anal fissure. It's when you get like a little cut
(32:50):
in your asshole. And that's why it's why you're that's
why it bleeds. But uh no, the I'd much rather
have a bloody asshole than a bloody dick hole. If
I had a bloody dick hole, I'd probably be I'd
be mortified. So I think you're an American hero for
because He's why. The reason I say you're an American
hero is because cosmically, I really believe that coming blood
(33:15):
is something that had to have happened at least once
to someone right like the it was, it was multiple
people's divine destiny to come blood. Uh And I think
that those people were kind of selected at random by
the by the universe, and you happen to be one
of them. And so it's the fact that you came blood,
(33:38):
the fact that you not that you volunteered to do it,
but you know it was noble of you to take
on that helm of of the person who came blood,
of the inevitable person to come blood. Even if you
didn't sign up to do it, I still think it was.
It's a noble cross to bear, and so I commended
for that.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
I can I share something else about that, say, same
topic that I also I meant to share, but I forgot.
It's just I'm releasing the trauma right now on on
the on the stream.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Well, yeah, after all.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
That happened, and I went to the doctors and like
they looked at it. They sent me to like a specialist.
And this is the part that's actually like all my
male listeners, y'all got plucky ears for a second. They
stuck a camera down my dick hole.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. That's the thing that's real.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
That's the whole thing that one's messed up, man, that
one had me messed up. I needed to like let
it out somewhere. And I always said I on the stream,
I'm telling the world.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
It's the dick hole selfie.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
It literally is the dick hole selfie. But they never
sent me the picture that they took.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
They never sent you the picture. Is it like is
it is it?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Like is it like Disney World where you have to
pay for it and they send it to you in
a frame?
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Well, I don't know, like our healthcare out here is.
But just because it's free doesn't mean it's good.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
No, it's fine. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
I would think in Canada they send you home with
a little key chain with the picture of the inside
of your dick hole on it, like or they or
they put it in like a or they put it
in a custom snow globe or something.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Yeah, Like I'd like the little keychain that would say
like I survived the dick hole selfie or something like
they didn't give me any anesthetics, or like Mets, they
just raw dogs my door.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Wait, they didn't give you anesthetics. They just shove that
motherfucker in.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yeah, or they put like this, it's like freezing gel
in like kind of like a freezing gel like that
they use at the dentist. It didn't really do anything.
And if I'm being real with you, get it kind
of hurt when they.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Put Jesus like it. Fuck, I thought they put you
under or something.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Well that's what I thought too, And so they told
me when they like when they did the dick hole selfie.
They're like, you can't tense up at all, Like you
can't flex your muscles, you can't like you can't like
clench your because if you do that then it'll make
this like it'll make your dick hole tents up as
well and they'll have to like push through it. So
like the whole time I was there, like they're trying
(36:10):
to tell me, like, yo, imagine you're on like a
tropical island and you're on a vacation, and how am
I going to do that? Man like put me under Please.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Well, I hope that making everyone listening to this feel
worse made you feel better.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I really mean that.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Isn't that like the rule of the internet or one
of the rules of the internet, Like if I thought
you have.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
To see it do or something like, you know, that's fair.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
I'm just abiding by the law man, you know.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
No, that's fair. If I had to have a.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Stick shoved in my dick hole, I would want to
share that pain with other people too.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Yeah, well, it was just part of releasing the trauma.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Is there anything else you want to say to the
people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 4 (36:55):
The only thing I want to say to you guys
before I go is don't come blood, don't do it
not recommended, have.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
A good night, you will buy geck.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
That's what I realized. I meant that it had to
have been somebody. Every horrible thing that, every horrible scenario.
What's there's a word for this?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Does anyone know what this? There's there's like if it
is possible to happen, it will happen. Uh?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
What the fuck is the there's a phrase for like
anything that can happen will happen. Oh, please please leave
it in the comments if you know this phrase. But
there's a phrase maybe the chat. Can you let me
look at the Murphy's law. Yes, Murphy's law. It's the
Murphy's law. So Murphy's law. If if it is possible
(37:49):
for one to bleed out of one's dick hole, it
will happen to somebody. So, uh, whatever horrible thing has
ever happened to you in your life, just know eventually
it had to happen to someone. It's unfortunate, sure that
it happened to you, but take a little pride in it.
You know it had to happen to even if you
(38:11):
didn't volunteer for whatever horrible thing happens to you. It
had to happen to someone had to do it. It's
like it's like cleaning toilets. You know, there's even if
it's not the job you wanted, it's noble. It's a
noble thing to do. It has to be done. So
that's why I think. That's why I think this guy's
(38:31):
a hero for coming blood out of his dick. Hello, Hi,
what is your name?
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Fatima?
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Fatima? What's up? Fatima? Uh?
Speaker 5 (38:43):
Nothing right? What's up with to you?
Speaker 3 (38:46):
That's something you would say to a kid on on
the playground, if you're trying to make him, make him
feel bad, you say, you say you got a Fatima,
You got a fat mom. Sorry, sorry, sorry for saying that.
Is there any is there anything in particular you wanted
to talk about, Fatima?
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yeah, Actually I wanted to talk about how I'm like
forced to move in and sleep with my grandma, like
starting July of next year, and I.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Really do not want to.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
How old are you?
Speaker 5 (39:23):
I'm nineteen, I'm gonna be twenty like next week.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
You're you What do you mean You're being forced to
sleep with your grandma?
Speaker 5 (39:32):
So basically, my grandma has dementia, and I go over
like every other week to go take care of her,
to see how she's doing, and my mom will tell
me how her adventure is gonna get worse soon, so
it would be best if we move in with her
so we can just always keep an eye on her.
And she doesn't have that many rooms to sleep in,
(39:54):
so I'm forced to sleep on the same bed as
my grandma until I don't know however long.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Wow, so she's sleeping in your just I just I
guess started trying to make it, make it all, get
the right photo. She's moving in with your family, or
she was already there, so she.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Has her own house like thirty minutes from where I live,
or like my actual house, And so we were just
having to move in at her house because apparently she
was going to originally move into our guest room because
we had it just there and it'll be easier for us.
(40:39):
And we told my grandma about the idea, and my
mom told me that she said that she'd rather die
than move into the house. So I guess her only
choice is to move into her house.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
How big is her house?
Speaker 5 (40:55):
It's two bedrooms one bathroom, well, I guess two bathrooms.
Her room has a bathroom, and then it just has
a kitchen, living room. But the thing about her ahead,
go ahead, oh sorry, Oh. The thing about her house
is that it's like a connected home where it's rented
to different people. So one side of the house has
(41:19):
like a whole different family, but it's it's like disconnected,
we can't really go through. And then there's like a
whole different building where the upstairs there's like a family
live in there, and then downstairs is where my mom
and my mom's husband's gonna live, and my brother's gonna
live in the other room. I'm hating to sleep in
my grandma room.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
So you were the one who got stuck sleeping in
the same room with your grandma? Yeah, and you're gonna
sleep in the same bed, yeah, why don't you just
get an air mattress?
Speaker 5 (41:55):
Her room isn't that big, Like I feel like her
room is more of like just one pathway you can
go forward, and then one pathway to go out of
the door, and.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
Then who so you guys are all you guys? How
long are you guys gonna be with your with your grandma.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
For I feel like probably to the rest of her life.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Honestly, And then what's happening with your house?
Speaker 5 (42:26):
So my mom wants to rent out the house to
people so we don't have to sell it and we
can just go back whenever. I think that's the plan
that she wants to do. I don't know if there's
any other plant, but that's why she told me.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
So what's going on with you, fannie Ma? Are you in?
You in school? Do you work?
Speaker 5 (42:53):
Oh? Yeah, I am in school. Actually my school is
like pretty close to my grandma's house. But the thing
about my work is that it's it's closer to my
actual house. So I would just have to like move
to a different work and I guess i'd be pretty
much it. I was thinking of dorming at my school,
(43:15):
but I looked at the prices for dorms and they're
way way too expensive for me.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Yeah, I guess this is kind of This is kind
of just like a you know, a situation you got
to deal with until you can get on your feet
enough to cobble together enough money to move out and
like be independent.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
Yeah, I feel like it's gonna be hard. I'm not
really good at saving money either.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
So what do you what do you spend money on.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
Mainly on food, a lot of food and close and
just like use this, I'm not probably.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Not gon use do you have a good RelA?
Speaker 3 (44:02):
What's your like actual relationship like with your grandma?
Speaker 5 (44:07):
My grandma, honestly, she she loves me, to be honest,
and she keeps mentioning the fact since you have mentioned
she came spent the back time when A lived her house,
and she keeps thinking, I don't know, I kind of
like go with it. But I'm fine with my grandma.
It's just the thing is that she told me a
few months ago when I was taking care of her.
Speaker 6 (44:26):
She was like, uh, oh, by the way.
Speaker 5 (44:28):
Like I haven't been going out lately, and no, what
it really comes over? So I haven't showered in like
five days?
Speaker 4 (44:34):
Oh no, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:38):
Girl, you gotta shower if we're gonna be fucking sleeping
in the bed together.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
Oh Jesus Christ, Fatima, Oh man, what why don't you
just like, well, why don't you sleep with in like
your Is it like less weird or horrible to sleep
in with you in your the same room as your brother?
Speaker 5 (45:02):
No, I've actually slept in the same room with my
brother before. It's just the thing is that my uncle
also lives with my grandma and he's sitting in that room.
But it's a pretty big room, so it can fit
like two beds. But I feel like that's it. It
will only fit two beds.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
Hm hmm.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
Okay, So your your grandma pretty much tells you the
news that you guys are going to be sleeping together,
like multiple multiple times in a row.
Speaker 5 (45:31):
Yeah, I don't mind.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
To be honest, is she excited? Is that is it?
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Like?
Speaker 3 (45:36):
Does she seem happy about it?
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Honestly?
Speaker 5 (45:41):
I think so. Every time she tells me, she always
smiles and like, oh, did your mom tell you this already?
Like you're gonna be living here? He things excited And
I feel so bad to say that I don't want
to move in with her.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
No, you know you should. You should.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
That's uh, that's really nice for you, shoul. I don't
think you should feel bad. I don't think that many
like nineteen year olds trying to fucking like move out
and be like independents are stoked to. I don't think
you should feel bad about not being stoked to sleep
in a bed with your grandma.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
I think that's a.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Very understandable feeling, not to not to beat yourself up about.
Speaker 5 (46:25):
Oh I'm glad about that part.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
Then what's your what's uh? What's the dream? What? What
do you? What are you going to be?
Speaker 3 (46:35):
What life are you going to be fantasizing about while
you're on your sigma grindset in your in your grandma's bedroom.
Speaker 5 (46:46):
I don't know. I've thought about a few places or
like things to do. I think my first idea was
to become a veterinarian cool, but that would require a
lot of school and a lot of years of doing stuff.
Other than that, I've also wanted to move in to
Canada in Vancouver. That's another idea, but I feel like
(47:09):
their prices are away a little bit higher than they
are here, so that's another issue.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
What's going on in Vancouver?
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Was it just like a city you were like, oh,
that could be cool or something specific?
Speaker 6 (47:19):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (47:20):
So I was.
Speaker 5 (47:22):
Let me tell you the backstory. So basically, I was
working and I had these guests come up to me
that are from Canada, and I work at a movie theater,
so they were telling me how the sizes are like humongous,
and then afterwards we were like talking for a bit
and they were telling me how I should go to Vancouver,
Canada because they said I would fit in. And they
(47:42):
also said there was like a festival thing they have
where they give out like free food and free concerts
and it's for everyone and they have it once a year.
So that was pretty cool. They probably have that here,
I don't know, not that I know of, but it
just seemed like, oh, like, that's that's so cool if
I were to live somewhere that I had that.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Yeah, no, you sound you sound like no, you sound
you sound like, uh, you want to do ship?
Speaker 2 (48:12):
You know.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
Yeah, it's a natural impulse to want to do ship.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
I by the way, I really I think that if
if you have the impulse to want to do ship,
I like, I don't believe in manifestation in like a
woo woo you put things out into the universe. I
think the universe is pretty fucking indifferent to us. But like,
(48:37):
for a purely like my mind connection point of view,
I do think if you have it in your like
gut that you want to do things that that like
you eventually will even if you're not doing it like
(48:58):
right fucking now, even if you're in uh, your Grandma's
room for a little bit. You if that, if that
exists in your gut that you want to go go
out and do ship.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
I think that you you eventually will.
Speaker 6 (49:14):
Go.
Speaker 5 (49:14):
I'm gonna keep that mindset while I'm over there. A grund.
Speaker 4 (49:18):
Yeah, I remember you.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Vancouver is a good Vancouver's a good place. It's got
a lot of trees.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
What what are you? What state are you in?
Speaker 5 (49:32):
I'm in California?
Speaker 3 (49:33):
Okay, all right, that's cool. Yeah, well, uh is is
there anything else that you wanted to to talk about
or say or other aspects of this?
Speaker 5 (49:50):
I actually do so. I was actually gonna go to
your live show on November ninth that I was gonna
wait until I get taked. Who I don't have any
money and I was checking on the tickets and it
was so out. Yeah, okay next time.
Speaker 1 (50:07):
Yeah, I'll be back. I'll be back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (50:12):
Six, twenty six, my green Frog onesie.
Speaker 3 (50:20):
Bro, bring, bring your grandma, bring the whole family, bring
my grandma. Is there anything else you gonna say? The
people in the computer before we go smoke?
Speaker 5 (50:31):
Oh? I love you guys, I love you, gig, I
love you.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
BYO see it.
Speaker 5 (50:38):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Bye bye, Fatima.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Hello, Hello, Hi.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
What is your name?
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Caitlyn?
Speaker 1 (50:46):
Caitlin? What's up, Kaitlyn? How you doing?
Speaker 6 (50:48):
I'm pretty good?
Speaker 2 (50:49):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (50:51):
I'm actually doing okay, I'm feeling I'm actually feeling fairly
locked in and I'm excited and read to talk to
you about whatever it is that you wanted to talk about.
Speaker 6 (51:06):
Okay, Now, I'm all nervous. I didn't think of that.
Speaker 3 (51:08):
No, don't be nervous. This is a low pressure situation.
There's no h this is this is this is one
of the this is one of the least important things
going on in America right now.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Or probably also probably the world.
Speaker 3 (51:25):
This is probably one of the least important things going
on in the entire world right now. So there's just
no pressure whatsoever.
Speaker 6 (51:33):
Okay, all right, So I kind of wanted to talk
to you about. So I'm about to graduate from school
and the career field I'm trying to get into is
like really competitive. So We're thinking about moving to just
anywhere in America, and I'm bringing my boyfriend along with me.
(51:55):
So I have moved across the country by myself before.
I have not, and I'm scared, but he's going to
like not like where we move, or it's going to
be harder to make friends with a significant other along
with me.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Hm hmm.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
Well, he's not moving across the country alone. He's moving
across the country with you.
Speaker 6 (52:21):
This is true, But then we both have to like
make friends independently, and I feel like it's a lot
easier when you're like by yourself making friends rather than
when like, I don't know, he's trying to make you know.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
Your your are you? Are you?
Speaker 2 (52:35):
Well?
Speaker 1 (52:35):
Okay, first of all, where where are you moving from?
And where are you going to?
Speaker 6 (52:40):
So right now we're in Colorado and it's looking like
we're going to go to Chicago.
Speaker 4 (52:44):
Well that's the goal.
Speaker 2 (52:45):
Cool to Chicago, but we could.
Speaker 6 (52:46):
Go to like Kansas or somewhere random wherever I can
get a.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
Job really cool.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
Well, I mean Chicago would be way better than Kansas
if you're trying to interact with other human beings. Definitely
definitely more expensive, But it depends on I guess what
you what you can hack?
Speaker 1 (53:05):
Okay, So your boyfriend, how old are you? Guys? Well,
you're yeah old, he guys.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
I'm old.
Speaker 6 (53:12):
I'm twenty nine and he is thirty.
Speaker 3 (53:17):
And you've you're an experienced mover across that you sound
just I can kind of the way you're talking about
this sounds like you've like confidently done things like this
in your life before.
Speaker 4 (53:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (53:30):
So I moved from California to here by myself and
I didn't know anyone, and I was like twenty floor
when I did that. So I feel like I would
be okay if I was moving by myself. But it's
like more scary to drag someone along with me in
case he doesn't like it, or in case.
Speaker 3 (53:48):
He Well, the good here's the good news is you're
actually not dragging him along with you. He's actually making
his own independent decision to come with you, knowing the
pros and the cons, weighing them, and choosing to go
along with you because he wants to be with you,
(54:09):
maybe because he's open to new adventures and excitement in
his life. And it is it is, it is, in
fact his choice.
Speaker 1 (54:19):
You are not.
Speaker 3 (54:21):
Hopefully you're not tying him up and throwing him in
the trunk of your car and driving it to Kansas.
Speaker 6 (54:28):
No, that wasn't the plan I would.
Speaker 3 (54:33):
So, I mean, from my perspective, I really wouldn't think
of this, Like you, look, you two are how long
he has been together?
Speaker 6 (54:45):
Four years?
Speaker 1 (54:47):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (54:47):
So yeah, I mean, look, you two are in a
partnership and trying to support each other, and you clearly
give a fuck that he isn't miserable.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
All the time.
Speaker 2 (54:56):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (54:59):
I mean is he.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
Like, why are you nervous? Is he like socially not
not good?
Speaker 4 (55:08):
No, not at all?
Speaker 6 (55:08):
But like he has his family here and I don't
have any like real connections to hear, but he's been
here for like a lot longer than I have, and
he has like all of his work friends and everything.
So he'd be leaving like everyone that he's been with
for like ten years to go somewhere new. And I
feel like if I hadn't like entered his life, he'd
probably just stay here and be happy with him.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
No, but you can't.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
Yeah, but you really, he's this guy's making You didn't
coax him into it. He's making his own.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
Decision.
Speaker 6 (55:38):
Yeah. Yeah, this is true.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
And you're a good uh, you're a good girlfriend to
want to help him with uh, with this and like
work together with him on this, and you guys are
like building a life together.
Speaker 1 (55:52):
That's really awesome.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
But you know.
Speaker 3 (55:56):
I mean, at the end of the fucking day, this guy,
he's got a kind of he's got to summon the uh,
the the whatever the thing it takes to be like,
all right, I'm gonna put myself out there in this way.
I'm gonna maybe try go and do this. I'm gonna
you know, hey, you want to come with me to this?
And then you know, he's got a you can't be
fully responsible for, like his uh whether or not he
(56:20):
has a good social life in this new city he's
deciding to move to with you.
Speaker 6 (56:25):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (56:30):
Yeah, I don't know if that I don't know if
that resonates with you it does.
Speaker 6 (56:39):
Do you have any advice on how we can meet
people and feel more like we have a community in
a new place together.
Speaker 3 (56:47):
Well, if you go to Kansas, you can wander around
the Dick's Sporting Goods and see if if you make
any friends.
Speaker 1 (56:59):
What do you guys like.
Speaker 6 (57:03):
Music? I like to hike and being nature and stuff.
He's a graphic designer and he likes all that computer stuff.
Speaker 3 (57:14):
Okay, bam, okay, here here join a hiking group. Bam,
one and done. Go to small intimate live music shows
and talk to people. Bam, join a fucking art graphic
design coworking group, or start one bam. Three things. Uh,
(57:37):
probably can't do any of them in Kansas. Maybe maybe
I'm sorry for shooting on Maybe they're you know, I'm
sorry for shooting on Kansas.
Speaker 1 (57:42):
Maybe you can do that in Kansas, but I fear
that on Casus.
Speaker 3 (57:46):
Yeah, but yeah, we'll just do stuff, do stuff, start
your own stuff. Just did to leave your house, go
on the internet. There's it's literally never ever, ever been
easier to like going to a new place and starting
a life. There has never been easier. If you have
some like if if you have if you have the
(58:10):
desire to fucking do it, you have to be willing
to go out and put yourself out there and and
uh find communities and add to them somehow.
Speaker 4 (58:19):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (58:19):
But if you do that, you're going to be fine
wherever you go, especially a place like Chicago.
Speaker 6 (58:26):
You know that's very true.
Speaker 1 (58:30):
Anything else.
Speaker 6 (58:32):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (58:35):
All right, Well, where do you think? Where do you
think we go when we die? Do you think it's
somewhere horrible?
Speaker 2 (58:45):
No?
Speaker 6 (58:45):
I feel like I want to believe that we get
like resurrected into our favorite animal.
Speaker 1 (58:50):
What's your favorite animal?
Speaker 6 (58:53):
A koala?
Speaker 1 (58:55):
Would you want to be a koala?
Speaker 6 (58:58):
Yeah, it would be sick. You just symmetry.
Speaker 1 (59:02):
Did they look really cute? Yeah? I went to Australia
and I saw.
Speaker 3 (59:07):
Some of them, and some of them will run around
and it's good.
Speaker 1 (59:11):
It's good time to be one. But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (59:14):
Sometimes I wonder if it was better, if it might
have been better to be other.
Speaker 1 (59:17):
Things than just a human. I'm human.
Speaker 3 (59:20):
Humans are both blessed and burdened with our higher consciousness.
And you got I guess you have to decide for
yourself if it's a burden or a blessing.
Speaker 4 (59:31):
But how do you know?
Speaker 6 (59:32):
Koalas don't have a higher consciousness just like us?
Speaker 1 (59:35):
But they don't. We we because you know why?
Speaker 3 (59:38):
I know that because some guy at one point took
a koala and just took a chainsaw and sawed him
in half and looked at his brain like a lot.
And and then and then some other guy did the
same thing with like a lot of people, just took
their bodies and cut sliced them up with a chainsaw
(59:59):
and looked at their brains, and they took each other's information,
and they came to a scientific conclusion the koalas are
dumber than human beings.
Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
I don't know if that's right, but I'll take your
word on it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
Is there anything else you want to say to the
people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
I don't think so.

If Kansas is shitty, I've been. I've like, where the
