All from Taylor. Taylor, whoa I actually got through.

I know, I'm surprised. I'm as surprised as you are.

Well, welcome back, mister Ghek. It's good to have you back.

Thank you Taylor, It's good to see you.

So.

I had a little bit of an issue about a month ago hit my fiance and I. We went camping with some friends and they brought some edibles and we all took him probably took a little it too much, and then I lost all perception of time and had a high panic attack. But a part of me kind of wants to try it again, to relive that moment.

What do you feel like was enjoyable to you about having this panic attack? What were the aspects of it that you found endearing, Like.

Just realizing, like that time, it's such a weird thing, like how in our free time we have so much of it, but really there's not enough of it. It sounds kind of weird, but that's how I felt at the time, So I wanted to relive that feeling. Am I weird for that?

Why do you feel like you don't do you feel like you don't have access to this feeling. Why do you feel like you need you need to do edibles to get back access to this feeling, this feeling, it's inside of you. Yeah, you had dig.

Yeah that's true. But yeah, when I was on the edibles, like five minutes would go by, but to me it felt like two hours.

But you were you. You told me that you learned something about not just time, not your perception of time in that moment. But then you were talking about time in general.

Yeah, exactly.

You said that, you said that you don't have enough time. What don't you have enough time to do?

I mean, like life is so short. None of us have enough time, and I think that's why I went into a panic attack.

Enough time.

To live, to go and see all the things that a person would want to see and experience everything.

What do you what do you want to experience?

I want to travel?

Where do you want to go?

I'd really like to go to like Japan?

How old do you?

Twenty six?

All right, so you'll be alive by the time that you can go to Japan without you know, getting coronavirus. So you'll get to do that, all right. What else we can get? We can keep going, We can plan out your whole life right here. I think you've got time to do it though, Yeah, what what what do you want to do? You don't have time to do?

See, I don't know.

That's like the crazy thing is you start thinking about like people who die young, and it's like, what if I get hit by a bus tomorrow? Then I didn't have enough time?

You know what, what have you already done?

I feel like not a lot.

Well, you had friends because you went camping.

With them, so that's yeah, that's true.

You had you got to experience camping. I mean, that's the only the only thing that I know about you is that you went camping with your friends once. That's the only information I have about you. But even within that, there's there's plenty of stuff. Okay, what's another what's another thing that you have done?

Uh?

I went to college?

Did did you enjoy it?

No? I hated it?

Okay, Well you got you got to hate something, that's true. That's a feeling. That is, you got to experience rage and frustration upon applying for financial aid. That's a visceral human emotion that you've got to experience as a person who is alive. What what give me? One more thing that you've done. Wait, what'd you study? So when someone asked me that, Dr Pepper ten ninety eight asked me to ask.

Them, oh, automotive mechanics.

What do you do? You fix cars?

Now?

Yeah?

I thought that you go to like trade school for that.

Well I into a community college that had like a like a good program for it. But I guess the technical degree is like like an associates of applied science.

If you all right, so you went, you got to you got to be pissed off, you got to go camping, You got to have friends. That's like three things.

Yeah, what else?

What else do you want to do?

Uh?

I want to have to think if you could do anything? You want to have kids? Yeah, you got time to do.

That, that's true.

Yeah, I don't think that you. I don't think that you.

Can.

Can this conversation be a substitute for you giving yourself a panic attack intentionally to discover that you have time? Can we sub this in for you intentionally drugging yourself and causing your self physical harm? Can we just can we slide that out and slide this in?

Yeah? I think that's a good idea.

All right, cool?

Thank you?

Ging to hear that. Absolutely What did you say?

Your name was Taylor?

Well, Taylor, I love you and you've inspired You've inspired me. I can am I go camping now too?

Yeah, we're going again this weekend. It's it's real nice.

You got something to look forward to now, huh. I said that, Well, now you've got something to look forward to.

That's true, that's very true.

Alright, man, I love you when I and you know, watch out for bears.

Hi will.

I love you too, man, Thank you.

Take care of Taylor all right bye? I think I think we got time. Some people don't actually that don't have time. Some people have a defined amount of time left to live right now. Yeah, those people don't have time. But Taylor has plenty of time. You can have had time. You know, you're already you're you're already have done a bunch of that guy's already done a bunch of things.

Angie dan Banjie Dangie Angie Angie.

Yeah, yeah, that's kind of a cool that's a cool name. I've never met. I are you, I'm assuming are you a do you present as a man or a woman?

Oh? I'm a man. My name's my full name, Angela.

I never heard Angie is a man's name. Your full name as.

Well, Angela, Angela, Angelou.

Angela Angelo. Okay, now I go Angelau. Now that makes sense.

Yeah, yeah, I'm calling because, uh, I was dropped on my head as a kid, and not as a joke, like legitimately, and so I have memory issues, uh, long term memory issues, So anything like more than like six weeks, I'll completely forget.

So one of the chats said, not as a joke, I would hope that you were not dropped on your head as a joke.

No, No, I meant like you know, people say like, oh, we you dropped on it. Yeah, yeah, no, I was in a I was in a like one of those high backed bar chairs when I was like two, supposedly, and uh, I was pushed back, fell in the back of my head on some tile.

Jesus Christ, I can't have met what do you what did your like? What the fuck? How would your parents like? How did your parents react when that happened?

I don't know too Have.

They, I mean, have they told you? Have you talked to them about it at all? Since since then?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Well, I mean, uh, they were worried.

So they they called an.

Ambulance and ship and I had to have like staples put in back of my head to like piece my skull together, and so I still have like scars from that, uh on my hairline. So they were worried. I think, I guess I'd assume.

I'd assume as well.

Yeah, but.

This this memory thing. Have you ever watched I can't remember what the movie is called, like one hundred First Dates or something, where Adam Sandler goes on a state with his shick who forgets everything the next day. You know it is Okay. I watched that, and it's such bullshit, I should say, based on my own experience, because there's no way you can remember something and then you fall asleep in the boom, it's all gone. It's more of

How often this happen?

Well, things things that quickly. Not often. It's like normally it'll be, uh, someone will talk about something we did last year, right, so a long enough time where my hippocampus, which is what was messed up, kind of just deletes it all right, So they'll be talking about or I'll see myself in like a picture from a camping trick I took three months ago something like that, and it'll be me like I can recognize myself in the picture, but I don't know, I can't recall any memories from

How long ago was was was the among us thing between when you forgot it and when it happened.

When we talked about it, it was two days.

Two days and you and and before that you'd never forgotten something that was only two days old.

I mean, ship, I've forgotten things that are like I can't remember what I ate for dinner last night unless I really think about it. But uh, you know, my girlfriend a great Yeah, she's a great she's a great chicken. Like I remember almost everything we do for like a pretty long time. Uh so that I feel like should have lasted longer.

Did you did you? Did you talk to a doctor about this? About like the you like about that, the feel that it's getting.

Worse, not about it's getting worse. I kind of have a thing with doctors, man, right, Uh so, did you're.

A doctor's man? A thing with doctors?

Yeah? Well, like mm hmm. And my parents so a lot of times people have to remind me how like why I feel certain ways to like doctors scare me, and so my parents basically keep you know, I have this book that I basically keep and I like read it often to remember remind myself about certain things, and like the one entry I have for doctors, it's just like they did a lot of so they tried fixing me.

So it's like a corrupt file where like you can see the file, but you can't open it.

You know something there, right, It's like it's it's like an emptiness in a box. Right, something's supposed to go there and maybe you can see the outline of it. You can't actually like take out the lego set and build it.

How does memory therapy what do they do to try to access your memories?

Well, so I have a call each week, Well it's a call now because of COVID. I used to go in and like sit with a person, right, but basically it's like how you you see like hypnosis on TV. So I was supposed to get all relaxed my eyes and just like pretty deeply, and then they'll they'll like walk me through my memory by going like, Okay, remember last Thursday night, it was two days ago, think back

Right?

Do you feel like this kind of this might be a corny question and maybe it comes from this weird place, But do you feel like the fact that you can't access your past as well as most people can gives you allows you to live better in the present.

Sometimes like this to me is just like how my life is not a big deal. But sometimes I listen to people and they're like, tell me a traumatizing story from their past, right to be any number of things, And when I and when I think of being in their shoes and like having to remember that every day, Jesus, can you imagine that? But I guess you got that's

Yeah?

Like, have you ever broken a bone?

No?

Okay, have you ever? I guess that those I don't know what's something like really painful?

Like, yeah, painful.

I've never had like a lot of physical pain, But I guess, like, so you're I mean, so you're kind of like would you say you're more or less like medically impervious to trauma.

So yes and no. Right, So, like I was talking about with doctors, like going into a doctor's this or or talking to someone that I knows the doctor like gives me anxiety even though there's no reason for me to have anxiety, right because I can't remember all these tests they do besides the weekly thing. And like Sarah, who's who's the person I see each week, She's like chill,

Interesting, So you're so you you're not impervious to trauma. You just kind of feel it without knowing, without having like a place to bring it back to.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like so if you watch in the one and they're like, oh shit, something something bad is gonna happen, like that's that's exactly the feeling. It is like you don't know what's behind the dark door in the basement, but like you know, if you open that ship, there's gonna be something that pops up and bites you.

Do you feel like this is one of those Do you feel like this is a situation in which your condition helps you or hinders you? Because do you? At first you were because at first you were kind of talking about it like it was a good thing. Like you hear people talk about their past trauma and you're like, oh, I couldn't imagine that.

I guess it's it's it's like a double edged sword, right, the bad stuff no one wants to remember, unless like maybe it teaches you a lesson or something like don't put your hand in the fire or whatever. But other times, right, I'll be sitting around and it'll be like a really good moment, like other weekend, be uh, my girlfriend and one of her friends came over and we're all just

Interesting.

Ooh, ooh ooh.

I feel like I thought. I feel like there's gotta be a way we can link this back to the fucking camping guy. There's gotta be a way we can link this back to the camping guy.

Guy take edibles?

Yeah, the guy who wanted to take edibles because you all you have is I guess you both are kind of dealing with the same thing differently. I don't know, I don't know what I'm saying, but you feel like you only ever have today. You don't feel like you even have yesterday.

Well, I do like I have yesterday. I have the last couple of weeks, you know, up to maybe I don't know when. When was June? Only months ago?

Was June?

Remember during my brother's birthday? Right?

Two months ago?

Two months?

Okay? Yeah, that's pretty decent. So, like I guess, I mean, the main reason I call is just because that's like your topic, right. I want to I want to like throw something out there but I don't know. You've raised some good questions. I guess. I guess it's like living in the moment to the extreme right where it's not saying you should live in the moment, it's saying you have to live in the moment. So what are you going to do with it? Oh?

Yeah, do you find do you you have? You feel like you have to You're you're forced to live.

In the moment more than like, well, it's not so much a force, it's a want. You know, when I was hanging out with my girlfriend and her friend, like I realized that I had to in that moment enjoy every second that I got, right, because because like it's then and there, you know, taking a picture of it or something or writing it down with my journals doesn't like do the same thing. It's just like ignoring everything else, bringing my phone away and like focusing on them, Like right then.

You can't remember things through journals and pictures.

Well, it's like not the it's not the same way. So like if I wrote down this conversation and then looked at it a week from now, right, I remember it as in as I'm reading the journal note, I'll be like, yeah, I remember calling to get we're talking, have a good time explaining who I am, right, But then anything anything more than three or four months, you know, six six weeks is like the solid stuff. Anything three

That makes sense.

Yeah, like reading someone else's journal.

Yeah, Like the words make sense and the things, like you can imagine the things that are written, but it's not like imagining you doing or being in those situations.

Interesting.

The weirdest thing, though, is I live in a state where, like wead is super legal, and so there's some residual pain from the injury too, So I get medical marijuana.

Sometimes when I get really really high. I think that I remember stuff, but I'm also so high it could just be like the high. You know, I don't know if I'm like chasing something that's real or I'm just making up stuff in my head.

You ever asked your doctor about that specifically?

Yeah? Well so yeah. Sarah basically said that weed is like the opposite of what I should be doing because it has a memory of loss properties, and so she kind of shrugs it off as like me just kind of imagining stuff. It's kind of hard to talk to her about alternative methods. I don't know. I feel like every time I bring it up to her, it's like, no, this is the only way to do it, Like this is this is how science works. And I'm a big trust I feel a lot of trust in science, So

I'm I'm glad that you felt comfortable enough to show all this with us.

Man. Oh hell yeah, I mean.

For sure, for sure, I hope that you know, I hope that talking about this. I don't know if it made you feel better, but I hope it did something for you.

Well, you know, I'm living in the moment, right, and like one hundred percent of my attention for the last whatever fifteen twenty minutes has been has been between you and I, and I will cherish that as long as I remember it, which isn't say much, but it's all I can do.

That's that's that's that's saying a lot, man. And uh and and again, I like, I mean, I appreciate you, uh, you know, being being open about this. It's uh, it's very interesting, thankfully.

And I know people want to get.

On the phone line, so I'm going to hop off Let's let some people that can actually remember shit get on here. But I just want to thank you. Get You're amazing everyone, everyone that's on here. I'm not looking at a chat right now, but whoever's on here, you guys are amazing. If I remember you later on, I'll say hi and uh, have a good Winday, Peter A right, you.

Have a good night too, Angie, take care of man. Thanks again for calling Jacob.

Hello, what's up?

Yeah? Yeah?

Are you nervous or something? Are you nervous?

Yes? Yes, I am okay.

Well I think we we we look we can get through that though.

Yeah.

What what do you what do you think is driving your nerves?

Uh?

You know that's a good question. I think it's just the suspense that has been leading up to this call. Look, after a little while, I'll cool up for now.

I'm I'm just a little nervous.

I know it is. It's a little it's slightly suspense. Could you do me a favorite, Jacob? Could you move your are you? Are you on a headset microphone?

Yeah? A yep?

How old are you?

Ah, I'm twenty five?

Okay, yeah, it is suspense. What are you saying?

Yeah?

Sorry if my voice sounds like weird, I had surge around my voice box a while ago and it's never been the same. Is my sound okay? Or yeah?

You're perfect?

Man?

Cool? Is it windy?

It's mildly windy, but it's not that big of a deal.

Okay, Where are you?

Where are you calling from? If you care to share.

I'm in the middle of a soccer field.

You're in the middle of a soccer field?

Yeah? Yeah?

How did you get in the middle of a soccer How did you How did you find yourself this evening in the middle of a soccer field.

I've been biking around. I like to bike around at nighttime, and tonight I was like, oh, listen to the stream while I bike around. I stopped here and now I'm on a phone call with you.

Were you you were watching it on your phone.

Yeah, yep, well more just listening to it. I wasn't. I wasn't watching it while I was biking.

I used to do that. I got my bike fixed up recently, and I've been meaning to take it back out, but I haven't done that in a while.

Why not?

I just haven't had time. I haven't had like a since for I in a while. I really haven't had like a full day where I just have nothing I need to do, not a Saturday or a Sunday, or a Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and I feel like I need a full o day. Did you go out on my bike?

Yeah, it feels good to do that. It's nice to have a breaking now.

And then.

Someone said, bruh, you're sitting in a gecko shuit right now. What do you mean you don't have time? What does that even? What does that even mean? I'm sorry.

A stream is a lot of work.

It is. It's a lot of I was saying before. Everyone asked me how much time it takes it takes to put on the makeup. That's the easiest, the whole thing.

This is the easy.

It takes five minutes. No one, no one asked me how long it takes to do I mean, I don't give you all right, so where else? Okay, what we get? Can I what are the other pit stops on this? On this on this bike journey.

I went to a different park earlier. Sometimes I go to kind of a a golfing area. But I didn't do that too many. But I don't know. I don't really make too many pit stops, to be honest, I just I just go.

So this is like a regular activity for you?

Yeah? Yeah, I I bike a lot.

Is it Is it the middle of the night where you are? Are you on Eastern Standard?

It's it's probably midnight. Yeah, yeah, it's it's approaching midnight.

What do you think about around at night?

I usually I usually go just listen to music. Since I discovered you, I've, like I said, since I discovered you. Sometimes your stream, but usually I just listen to music.

How long have you been watching the stream for?

Like?

How long have you been keeping up with it?

I think it's been about a week and a half at this point.

Oh cool. Yeah, it's always fun when the people who have just been listening when I finally get to talk to him.

Yeah, yeah, I like what you do.

It's fun to hear what everybody has to say, and it's cool.

Thanks man, I'm glad. I'm glad that. Uh well, but I want to say I want to just real quick if I can say that, I am not liable if you get into a you know, bike accident.

Because I yeah, no, no, no, no, no my eyes, no, no, I'm not gonna bike while I'm like on a phone call or something. I am moving. I'm walking away because there's a there's a very loud train going by right now, so I'm I'm moving, but I'm walking.

What what made you? Just what made you want to stop at this at this field? What?

What?

What? What about? What was it about this field that was so alluring to you?

It's very empty, and I like open spaces, and I have an orange that I wanted to eat. It's a very very cheesy, juicy orange.

And something about this field stuck out to you as the perfect place for you to eat your orange.

Definitely. Yeah's call my name.

That's very specific.

Yeah. Do you do you have places that you uh like to be? I guess you know.

I used I used to do a similar thing I used to do. I used to do ship like that, not like like pretty recently. I just I mean I've been like, you know, hold up all day, you know, in my house. But sure, yeah, but yeah, No, I used to like go to the I used to bring a folding chair into the woods, Oh my gosh, and just put the chair down and just sit in the chair and stare into the woods.

When, uh, what time of day would you do that? Would you do that night time? Like I'm doing it or you do it during the day.

No, I've been I've always been a little afraid of like don't into the middle of the woods at night. But like I have like I'll like go on a walk at night. I enjoyed going on night walks in places where you know, I know, it's reasonably safe to walk around.

Definitely.

Yeah, ghek, you are literally sitting in the woods in a chair.

This is true.

I was just thinking of that, Like I don't think about the money.

Yeah, that sounds cool, just biking around. Do you have do you have worked tomorrow? Do you have anything that you need to do?

No, No, I'm not working right now. I'm just playing low the whole pandemic thing going on. I use I'm usually working in a ball, So I don't really want to work at them all right? Now?

You do not?

Can I avoid that place the time being?

So where's next for you after the field? Or I guess you don't have You don't plan that far ahead. You just see something appealing to you and then and you take action right then and there.

Yes, yeah, that's funny. The moment you message mentioned that I'm like standing at a fork, and I'm not. I don't have a plan. I'm just I'm just going.

You're at a fork or two options, right or left? Look towards What do you think.

I'm reading leaning towards right, because oh, that that pass kind of goes downwards and curves a bit, and it seems to go further than the left path. But the left back looks kind of nice too. It's also a dirt past. The right path is a still paved path, so that might go right. Yeah, I'm going, what do you What.

Do you think that says about you that you prefer a paved path over a dirt path?

M Uh, I think it says right now, I don't want to go into a dead end at the.

Moment, perfect I think I think the right path is a good move for you, Jacob.

Yeah, everybody should take the right path.

You're not only taking the right path, you're endorsing the right path. That's a that's that's confidence right there.

Yeah.

Well, Jacob, are you are you feeling better? Are you feeling less nervous?

I am yeah, I'm feeling more comfortable on the phone call now.

Good good, well man, I am someone Someone someone said, Jacob Frost, do you do you know you know that poem by Robert Frost?

Oh gosh, no, I don't know that. I don't know that poem, but I know who that is?

To what?

Someone copy and paste the poem into the chat real quick? Well, I'll I'll wait until someone does it so I can read it. Someone real quick. I would go get my computer. But no, just copy and paste the whole thing like as a as a big paragraph. Not do you want to see it as lines? I want to see it all as one message. Whoever can do that first.

Does it first?

Oh?

Hold on, hold on?

Ok?

Two?

Thanks you shout out to a underscore killer Underscore whale two D two roads diverged in a yellow wood and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler. Long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth, then took the other as just as fair and having perhaps the better calm, because it was grassy and wanted, where though as for that passing had there had worn them really about the same, and both that morning equally lay

That's a nice phone too, it's a nice poem. Yeah.

Oh oh oh, there's more. Oh oh shit, hold on, oh shit, way leads onto way I doubted if I should ever come back. Oh okay, And then here's the one. Here's the main part. Two roads that versed in a wood, and I took the one less travel less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. So I guess that would make that would incline for you to go left, But you don't want to go left. You want to go right. You want to go on the paved one that people have traveled for.

I don't see anyone on this path.

Perfect.

Well, you're right, yeah, that's true.

Well, Jacob, I'm happy that you decided to go. I'm happy that you've been listening. I'm happy that you decided to finally call in and this. I'm this was a good arc for you. I I like this a lot. I hope that you enjoy your the rest of your time down the right path and you you have, you have my good graces as you make your journey.

You have a good rest stream.

Thank you man. Have a good night, Jacob. I love you very much. I'll talk to you against soon.

Yeah. Good cue.

Call from Jennifer.

What were you doing before you called in?

Uh?

Procrastinating? Homework?

Homework for college?

Right?

Yes?

Yes, college, my last year of computer science?

Oh cool?

Yeah?

What do you do while you're procrastinating?

Like?

What do you?

What do you do?

Well? I'm home twitch watching you for the first time. This is the first dream I've seen of you, and I'm very much I'm really enjoying it.

That makes me happy. To you, how'd you how'd you find out about it?

Uh?

TikTok?

I'm pretty sure I don't remember. I'm pretty sure it.

Was on there.

So you make computers out of science?

No? Absolutely, No, I just programmed. We we kind of learned things on the side, But basically the only thing I can do is programming.

What do you program?

Well, that's.

That's a weird question. I can program things in different languages, and the different languages are to make different things. If that makes sense.

You can program in different languages, yes, can you program in Chinese?

No?

So for example, if you want to make a website, you have languages as JavaScript, HTM orses to make a website. If you want to do something more backland or database, well, database is SQL or just anything like actual programming things would be like Java or Sharp. AI use this Python a lot.

So yeah, is it hard?

Is that why you procrastinate?

It's boring?

Why do you do it?

I need a job. I have responsibilities and uh and people to take care of.

So maybe this is why.

Maybe this is what who do you have to take care of?

Are you do you?

Do you have kids?

No?

My mom is sick.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, she's in the hospital right now. She had a seizure on Monday Monday night, and because of COVID, only one person can be with her, So my grandmother is with her and I'm home.

Fascinating.

Well, I mean, you uh, you've got a lot of you know, responsibility.

Yeah, I mean she got sick when I was very young, so it's you know, I grew up with that. You know, she's a lovely mother despite everything. She's an absolute amazing mother. She she doesn't even take narcotics even she's supposed to, you know, she's supposed to take more feet and stuff because of the pains are so much that she tried her best not to so she can be there for me.

You know.

It's the amazing, amazing woman.

That is really amazing. Yeah, that's that's I mean, that's great that you're willing to do things that you really don't like to support people that you love.

Yeah, I mean it's not I'm not saying it's the end of the world, like it's it's not that bad. It's just kind of boring. But there are parts that I like, you know, problem solving is really fun. Like how exams are for programming is that they give you a question and you just have.

To like resolve it.

It's a puzzle really because then yeah, let's say like there's an exam and there's thirty students. Each student have a different answer to it, like a different way to resolve the problems. So it's fun to have like that challenge, you know.

So there's not so when you take these exams, there's not one definitive answer that you need. You there's multiple answers.

I mean it depends. You know, you can ask something that's subjectively like you know, there's only one answer, but there are questions where it's like it's an actual you have to write code right, and it's a thing you have to resolve, and that's basically up to interpretation. You know, some answers are more are better than others, but you know, there's different ways they're seeing. There's differ and ways to look at a question. And I find that part very interesting.

Hmm.

Indeed, no, I can tell that your paid I can tell that. I mean, I feel like the patience that you displayed with me at the beginning of this call is indicative of the way in which you are able to be patient with you.

Know, start very much.

Okay, I feel like I called and I tried to call in too many times for like finally accepted and just be like no, I will not wait for you.

How you know you're showing strong boundaries in our relationship and it only makes.

Me respectful more, Jennifer, thank you very much.

How many times did you call in?

Not that mny I think another caller had like fifty one. I called like.

Sixteen determined how what?

How?

Okay? Let me, how has this conversation compare?

How?

How is how is this compared to how you thought it would be?

Honestly a lot better than I thought. I was really really nervous when like the call started and then he told me to shut up. That was even more nervous. Like now that I'm talking, I see a lot better, and it's it's a.

Good conversation, good, good, good, Yeah, don't be look, don't be nervous. It's just you and me talking, you know.

Like two hundred and fifty people watching.

Yeah, but they're just here, you know, they're not They're just all so there's also in their rooms. We're just all a bunch of people in our rooms right now?

Fair?

Fair, what do you think about? Its almost to know what you think about neuralink neuralink.

I don't that brings a bell that I don't actually know what it is.

That's what I would have said, as well.

Yeah, this is just a bachelor's and not master's or PhD or not.

That's far.

Well, you're you're a lot smarter than you know at computer science than most people, because most people don't know computer sciences.

I mean it's because I'm studying. It's not anything special. If you wouldn't studied it, you wouldn't know you had had the same amount of knowledge that I possessed in this current moment.

Well, yeah, I do, but I do, but I didn't. Yeah, and you did, and you get to reap that reward or I guess you don't like it, so I guess it's not but it's much of a reward.

But still, I'm in.

C JYPT so it's uh like two hundred dollars a semester pretty fucking good when you compare to American price.

Is.

Oh, yeah, you know, I wasn't gonna I didn't want to dox you, but I saw that where are you?

Where are you from Quebec, Canada, that.

The what I said to you is the only thing that I know how to say, oh, well.

I know something something right, But like I, I feel bad for Anglophones, like people who English is their first language.

Because it's hard for them to learn another language afterwards, because no other language fronds like English. English is so fucking weird, like Fresh and Spanish are super similar the English, like in and five, the dates of the week are exactly the same. And then like English, it took me so long to remember what the fuck is Thursday? That makes no sense? Is your D or whom is it's supposed to start with the g J? Sorry the outside that also up in English.

Sorry, I'm on the mens.

No, no, no, I'm so glad that so one finally at because I've been wondering that too, Right, what the what the fuck is Thursday? I've been wondering, Thank god, finally someone. I'm happy that you know, I've been nervous to bring that up. I've been wanting to bring that up forever, and I'm I'm glad that you find in the air.

I was brave.

It's very weird, like that makes sense? Web nest day? How does that make sense in any shape or form?

When when neds D?

When day? Like that's how you spell it, like when Ned and day and you pronounce it Wednesday.

Well, the other one is Wednesday French matre d. Yeah, oh yes, there's miracle miracle leddy. I know I'm saying because I know I know a little bit of Spanish, I know a little bit of se Miracleish.

Exactly do you see it's the same.

What the fuck is Wednesday?

What the fuck is Wednesday? With the who do we Okay, all right, so we've established this and we've got about two hundred and thirteen people here and that's a small army. So all right, we did we know what we want? We want answers. What do we do with this?

What?

Now?

Where do we go?

Basically follow the same letters as like, you know, Romance languages, like at least start with like the correct letters.

You know.

Someone in the chad said that wholesome is my middle name. I'll give you if I could, real quick. I you know, look, this is a wholesome conversation. I enjoy wholesomness, but I don't want, I hate, I don't like, I don't I very. I'm scared of being like known for being wholesome because then I can't be mean and I like doing that too.

Oh, you can't be mean.

You can be whatever you want.

It's your life, Okay, good, because I'm I like, I want to reserve the right.

To Also, you can tell me French it's okay, even though you're wrong, but it's okay.

I'm happy to be I'm happy to have wholesome moments. I enjoy mixing them in, but I also need a little bit of space to you know, be be mean and disgusting. I need I need to have I need to have that.

I respect your space. It's valuable, it's your it's your boundaries very much.

Okay, Well, Jennifer, this was well, you know, you give me. We'll set something up. We'll do I don't know, like a protest. Maybe we'll figure something out. We'll figure out a way to let our voices be heard.

Perfect very much. Down.

I'm excited for this movement we've got going.

Jed.

This is a slightly expensive call for me, but yeah, sure, oh ship Jesus Christ.

Well I'll let you get I'll let you get off the air.

And all right, I've had a very nice time.

I'm happy that you did. I've had a nice time too. I love you very much and I I'll talk to you again soon.

Okay, bye bye bye.

Jen John.

John o John John John John, Hey Jack, Hey, what's up is that you?

Uh No, it's Josh.

Josh.

Is this the get Go guy?

Yeah?

Hey?

Sorry, ahead, hey my computer because I didn't want to beat back so about being banned?

Yeah?

What you have you ever? Have you ever been band?

So this is probably back like ten years ago, but you know back, I'm a hipster piece of shit man. So I was playing Minecraft way before it was available to anyone. In alpha. I got this guy's friend code and I was on his server. He made me admin and then I just turned everything into dynamite and exploded and crashed the server. I can no longer talk to that guy anymore.

And you got put in real jail for this.

Oh, I mean not real ass jail, but you know Minecraft jail, whatever the hell that is?

Now?

What compelled you to blow up this man's Minecraft server?

You know?

Power?

I got drunk with power. I was, you know, eighteen at the time. I think, I don't, I don't know. And it was just it was when you feel power surging in your fingertips to just create bombs at will, and you know there's no repercussions in a you know, sandbox. Why not?

You know, I'm actually glad to hear that you're getting out these impulses in you know, virtual realms, because I can tell that you have impulses within you to you know, create destruction.

Well as a kid, you know, I'm ten years older, ten years wiser now, and you know, your brain soup fully solidifies that you know twenty six ish, I think is what scientists are saying. So impulse control way better than it was when I was playing Minecraft.

Have you done anything impulsive? But between now and then?

I mean I've probably done something impulsive between this morning and now.

Okay, if you do impulsive between this morning and now.

I mean, it's it's much lower steaks these days. I made ramen after dinner when I shouldn't have.

That is much lower steaks.

But like I put an egg.

That's about that is actually, now that I think about it, in the grand scheme of things, that's about equal stakes to blowing up a Minecraft server.

But yeah, fair, I guess I'm a boring guy.

Was nothing wrong with that?

Yeah, fair enough?

What'd you say?

Your name was Josh?

Well, Josh, thanks for thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I mean, you know, I hope that you get out of city jail.

You know what, I hope I get out of titty jail too. Take care of us, Take care brother. I love you very much. I'll talk to you soon.

Oh, I love you.

Cut.

That was cute. I didn't know Josh could be cute. We went the whole comp we went this whole conversation without knowing that he was cute, and then he showed us at.

The very end, Max, Max, what's going on?

You know, I'm just I'm just here and I'm trying to I'm talking to I'm just here and I'm banned and I'm in prison. And do what the worst part is? Would you say what your name was?

Max?

You know what the worst part is?

Max?

What is it is? I have no one to blame but myself.

I've been there.

Tell me about tell me about the time you've been there.

So this is ten years ago. I'm thirty. Now, this is back when nineteen twenty. But I got a parking ticket and I live in Michigan. So if you don't pay your parking tickets back when we had two governors ago, they instilled some kind of law where you don't pay your parking tickets, they automatically suspend your license. And so I didn't know that, and then I forgot to pay the parking ticket. They suspended my license. I got caught driving

To see the judge.

And judge says, well, you can get out, but it's five hundred bucks or you can spend four more days in jail and time served.

I said, well, four more days.

In jail, and yeah, that's my experience of.

My law.

And then I got a DWI from marijuana even though I wasn't high. Don't ever admitt in Michigan to driving after a party two days ago and you know, having some weed in the car. My buddy had some weed in the car. We hadn't smoked. We were on their way to some trick's house to smoke. And yeah, consequently, don't admit to ever smoking weed a couple of days prior or whatever, because he'll still take you to jail.

Why did Why did you admit to being high if you weren't high?

H No, I didn't say I was high at the time. He asked me when the last time I smoked weed, and I said I hadn't smoked weed for a couple of days. And he's like a couple of days or like, you know, like a week. I said, well, a couple of days because there was a day after New Year's And that was a dumb on my part, of course.

And I arrested for being high two days ago.

Correct.

They tested my blood and because in Michigan they have some kind of legal thing, and I learned everything and it was absolutely ridiculous, and they said it was gonna cost me three grand to go to trial over it, and uh yeah, So I got apped on that and I ended up with a d w I on my record. But none of the employers give a shit, Like nobody has ever. They all look at me like, you gotta be fucking getting.

It's insane. Well do you do you have to explain that you weren't actually high while you were doing Yeah.

I have actually a whole freaking uh one page like explanatory about it. Uh, just for that reason, because it is on my record.

Can we hear it?

Oh God, I don't.

I'd have to look on my computer because it's been a while since I've had to actually use it, because most employers when they pull up my record nowadays, it doesn't even come up so I can find it. Did take me a minute, man, I don't want.

To waste now we can wait, all give me one second.

I'll read the chat. They were pretty good at talking amongst ourselves. Well, I think legally he just said no I don't smoke weed and or refuse to take a blood test, you have no problem. Solves to assume Oh yeah.

Oh no, trust me I nowadays and I fully understand. And what was crazy is afterwards they literally uh allowed me to smoke weed on probation because I got a medical marijuana card the very next day. I went to a doctor the very next day, said my back ached and they were like, here's a card, kid, And I got a medical card, walked into court and the judge was like, or my promission officer was like, well, how do I know you're not going to drive?

Well high?

Again, I said, well, I wasn't high in the first place. And now I know in medical laws and I have a card, so therefore I shouldn't getting in trouble with

You know what, dude, I.

Just remembered that this is a new computer. I don't even know if I hope.

To god I can find it.

I really wanted word to do it. By the way I found you.

Today, Oh shit, No, you're cool to actually you uh you? Finding this has given me a chance to ban someone from the chat who was being really annoying, so okay.

Cool, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I found you on like he should call in.

And with the.

Story how I just banned him. He should If you can see this.

I want.

I want him to call in and tell and just recount me banning him just now as his story. I'm sorry, what did you say I was doing?

I know you're fine, man, I was just saying that today is like the very first day I found you. I saw a TikTok of you and a couple of different tiktoks that are just like fascinating, and I was just like, man, this is interesting.

I looked you up on YouTube and here you are.

Man like, hell, yeah, I dud.

Wow, I'm I'm I'm I'm glad. I'm glad that you know.

Yeah, I got like the.

Worst news of all time to day too, So, like you know, it's it's it's crazy.

What was the.

Uh my grandfather who is eighty two, And I mean it's something that we've kind of talk.

About it if you don't want to talk about it, by the way, I know, it just kind of strang on that, you know, Yeah, yeah, you're.

Fine, Yeah, yea, we won't.

Yeah.

But anyways, so I cannot find the word. But maybe i'll call in another time when I actually do have the uh word document because I'm sure I got it saved somewhere.

But we'll be here.

So thanks a lot for talking with me.

Absolutely, man, take care of man. Have a good one. I hope you feel better.

Yeah.

YouTube from Connor.

Connor go.

Mm, Connor? Can I take a step of water real quick?

Or will you?

Will you? Will you wait for me? Will you get offended? Am I wasting your time?

No?

Go ahead?

Man? All right? Thank you?

M m hm.

They let me have water here if I'm good.

Yeah. I was gonna ask you how you were doing in there?

You know I'm doing okay. Thanks for asking.

I thought I heard that.

They don't because they don't care. And I'm with a bunch of other people who got banned.

Who else is in there?

Have you ever been banned?

Connor?

I have what have you been banned from?

Civilization?

How did you get banned?

Were you?

How did you get banned from civilization?

I was sent to juvenile detention?

Hold on, you were sent to juvenile detention?

Yeah?

What for?

I don't want to talk about it, but I can tell you what went on there? Sure, well, honestly it's pretty fucking boring. But uh, let's see. So it's like split up in the two sections. So she got the blue block, the green block and you just kind of sitting yourself. There's some there's some uh sorry, man, I'm kind of taking it back. I've been trying to call like the past few weeks.

Oh you're good. You can look, you can look Lee, you know what, you know what I think what happened is you might have heard Leanne and look respect to Leanne. She voiced her opinion. It was an unpopular one that took it. That took some courage, Leanne. I'll see you on that. But you know, you might have heard her talking about, you know, perhaps antagonizing silences. And I don't want that idea in your head that you know, I want. I want you to have enough space to say what you need to say.

Connor, sciences are the best part. So let me thank you. Well, let's see, so let's let's tell a story about so when it's time for court, all right, they'll they'll call you in your cell. They'll they have like a little intercoms that they'll call you in and officer comes to take you from your cell. They take you to the processing area and they'll like handcuff you, put you in shackles. And that was like fifteen at this time, and uh, and then they'll take you to this elevator. You have

Yeah, it's kind of fucked up. Do you still is that? Are those feelings still close to you or or are they pretty far in the past.

No, yeah, I'm past it.

How old are you now?

Twenty?

What are you doing though?

School work? Hanging out? Talking to you?

So you said there's a you started out by making juvenile Hall sound a little bit like kindergarten color War where they have like the blue team and the red team.

Yeah, so they keep you separate because like obviously, like there's certain people that you want to keep separate from each other. Go ahead, Oh.

Wait, wait, hold real work? What Yeah, don't don't dump it. Don't you mean too Leanna in the chat? Don't mean to Leanna in the chat?

All right?

What are we saying?

So like, there was like the Green block, like I don't want to like it's juvie at the end of the day.

But like.

Where I was, there's like there's like gangs and ships, so they would keep the blue and green like rival gangs from each other. And there was a there's there's a female block there as well. But I was in there over Christmas and New Year's so.

So what was Christmas? And Juvenile Hall like.

Actually have a funny story. So all the guys apparently it's a thing. Some of the guys that were there. I was only there for a month, and some of the guys that were there had been there for a few years. And apparently it's a thing on Christmas to uh flood your fucking toilet and have all the water come out of your.

Out of your cell, like as a celebratory thing.

I suppose.

Is it is this sanctioned by the.

No personally not people would get pulled out, like they would try the prisoners, if you will, would like try to block the door so they couldn't come in. And so like in my block, it was like a it was like a two stories, so like I was on the bottom floor and the people were at the top floor.

If if you will, Jesus Christ start.

But I, like I said, I was trying to call from for a few weeks, for a few weeks now, and I had another story in mind.

I feel like I still I want to hear the second story because I was very intrigued by the first story and now I'm intrigued by a second. But my I feel I feel like I still haven't results. How did this tradition begin? Is there a story behind this or is it just pure chaos as to why they flood toilets?

What I mean I had I'm just as closed as you are. I mean, I thought it was funny, but I didn't know. I didn't know if it was. I don't know how it started.

What's the second one?

What'd you say?

I said, what's the second one?

Okay? So I also worked, So what high school I did like this career program or I could like go off the high school campus and like do a there's like a career choices for like welding, auto service, nursing, assistant, computer engineering, and I just I thought I was going to be a nurse coming out of high school. So I took the CNA class and finished a CREP class, No big deal, and I went to work at a hospital, all right. So I was on the surgical floor of

And what did you do?

Then called for a nurse.

He had to be taken down into the er.

What happened to him, I honestly don't know.

I would assume some pretty serious damages insides.

Do you think that that might feel good?

I wouldn't be too sure. I've never tried it.

It probably wouldn't. It would probably feel very invasive.

I'm not too sure he even felt it at all.

I mean the pressure on those things, Yeah, it's like it's like it's like shooting a gun.

Yeah, damn.

But I mean working working at a hospital. I have a few other stories. If you want to hear him too.

I want say, yeah, we can do one more, all right?

So I mean, also going back to the prisoner thing, So we got a few prisoners in the hospital here and there, And I mean, I don't know if you've you've ever heard of this, But like prisoners will like almost do anything to get out of prison. Most of the time they do shit to get out of the to go to the hospital because they'll probably be out for like a week. And this one guy came in and he swallowed stuff. He swallowed shower hooks, and they

You said, a man swallowed hooks?

Okay, Okay, So he sackled to the bat, right, and he has some slack in his handcuffs, and like there's guards. There's like three or four guards in the room at one time. And I didn't personally see this that I believe one hundred percent did it happened. So this guy swallowed shower hooks, big incisions down the middle of his chest, all right, And he allegedly ripped himself open and fonded with his insides.

He what his insides?

He fondled with his insides. He stuck his hand in there was grabbing around.

Did he come.

Like I said, I wasn't there. It's very possible.

I guess you would like come blood or something.

Maybe he'd come to shower hood.

Jesus Christ. Well, yeah, no, that was he fondles. Is it like he fondled which of it? What of his body? What of his parts?

I would assume it's intestines. That'd be the first thing that'd be there.

Someone wants to know if and I don't know if you would know this, but someone wants to know if it was a sexual thing.

I think you're I don't think it was a sexual thing. I think it was an attention thing, because I mean, at the end of the day, that's why he was there in the first place. That's why prisoners do the things they do so they can get out, Like they'll almost like people serving big time will do anything to get out, even if it's for a week, even if they had to swallow shower hooks.

He couldn't have just coughed.

This is a few years ago. That didn't mean shit.

That guy.

Where was coronavirus when that guy needed.

I'm sure it got him now?

Well, Geez, would you say your name was Connor? Well, Connor, you've sufficiently disturbed me. I appreciate the fact that you came up here and successfully pulled emotional responses from both me as well as the chat, because you know, that's what the stream is all about. It's about elictening emotions, however pleasant or unpleasant they may be, and you know you did a good job of that.

I appreciate that.

I appreciate you coming in here and sharing these personal stories with us, and I hope that you're sufficiently reformed. I hope that you continue down this path of glory.

Thank you absolutely.

I love you, Connor, love you too, Gek, take care too. I'm going to close the line real quick. That was a lot. I can we, I think we. I think it's okay if we take a second.

Call from Mike.

Mike, that was a crazy burp.

How do you how do you how does burp? How do you feel about burping?

Uh?

I'm pro burping. I think I'm pro burping.

Can you burp right now? Can you burp on command?

I can't. I don't know if there's the way I can learn that.

Yeah, because your p o box at usps or ups. It's at uss daisy get you burp a lot. But I see you drink a lot of water. So okay, so that's something you can't do. All right, So we know a thing that you can't do. You can't burp on command?

No, what can you do?

Hmm? I can? I can tell when people have to poop?

How can you tell when people have to poop?

It's in the walk?

What about the walk?

It's kind of slanted, it's rushed.

You know?

What do you do when you see someone that you know has to poop? How do you respond to having that knowledge?

It makes me have to poop?

So seeing other people have to poop makes you have to poop?

Yeah?

Is this a sexual thing?

No? No, it just reminds me of times that I have pooped and then I have to poop.

Are they fond of memories?

Oh?

Yeah, all of them are fond.

Someone in the chats said that that's a strong display of empathy.

Yeah, I'm an empathetic poop watcher. Is that what's the title for that.

I think empathetic poop watcher works. Are you vaping right now?

Uh?

Is that a good thing? O?

Zask?

Yes?

What slave? Are you baping?

Straight?

Mental?

Because I'm a psycho.

So do you have this with pea as well? Or is it just poop?

No, no pee, just just the pooping? I don't know what does that? What does that mean that I can't tell when people.

Have to pee?

You think that's is that apathetic?

You're an empathetic pooper but an apathetic peer?

Yes, okay, it's all coming together.

Well.

I think that the reason behind that could be that peeing is a bit more casual of an experience than pooping. Pooping's a bit bigger of a deal. But here here because look, because peeing is a bit more portable. You can do it in the woods, you can do it in your pants, and it's not as big of a detriment to you going on about your days. If you pooped in your pants.

Yeah, if you poop in your pants, you're not gonna have friends, you know, So that's part of that.

I think if you poop in your pants and your friends don't want to hang out with you because of that I think that you need new friends.

That's true. They don't realize how empathetic I am, you know, because maybe I just saw someone that needs to poop and I could sense the emergency and then I poop like super quick.

Yes, it's like when you see someone else it's like, okay, sure, now I'm beginning to understand this a little bit more. Right, if you were on the street of Manhattan and you saw a crowd of people running and screaming the opposite direction, you would also feel a sense of alarm, and and that's sort of a micro a macrocosm of what you're experiencing with this empathetic pooping thing.

Right, Right, So I'm really just yeah, I'm liking the sound of this. I thought it was a handicap, but I think it's pretty good.

You know, I've never understood it's totally acceptable to tell people you're gonna go pee, but not that you're gonna go poop. Like if you're like, if you're like in a group setting and you're like, I gotta go pee, and they're like, all right, right, But if you're in a group setting you're like, I got I gotta go poop. Everyone's like, what the hell?

Let me ask you this, is it more acceptable to say I have to go poop or I've just finished pooper.

I think it's a little bit weirder to silently to initially silently excuse yourself to the bathroom to go poop and then, upon returning to the dinner table, announced that you have just pooped. Right, there's no reason to do that.

Now, let me ask you this. I'm an empathetic pooper. What if I let that person know that because I could tell they have to go poop, and I could tell them that I saw them from a distance and I could tell and then I had to go poop. What would their reaction be?

Do you think?

I don't know? Maybe you'd make a friend.

Right, Okay, I'm gonna start doing that.

You should, you should warn them? You you know what, I think you could use this for good if perhaps you see a person who you can tell has to poop, but you can also maybe tell that they don't know that they have to poop, but that they're gonna know very soon. You could go after them and warn them.

So like a psychic pooper a little bit, okay, I'm like a guardian angel pooper, like, Hey, I'm here to comfort you.

Yes, I think that you should go around to random people and comfort them in their time of need, because, as we have established, it's a having to poop is a very very mild version of panic.

All right, you don't panic pee?

Oh I have panic peede?

Really, I think I panicked pede. You know, when I was younger, my uncle told me that if I peed in this pool, there would be red die everywhere. And I just peeded and then frent. It was a panic because I thought there might be read somewhere and I'd be found out, like there was some kind of die in the pool that could detect pee.

Is that a real thing, red die that can detect pee in pools?

Yeah, he was kind of a shitty uncle. Basically, he was saying, don't pee my pool. I'll no, that's what he was trying to tell me.

I thought he was trying to tell you that there was something that happens where if you pee into a pool, you'll pee blood.

Oh no, no, no, no, Like it was a nicole that once you peede, it would be visible to the other people in the pool, and then everyone would laugh at you.

And then he would know, I think I think your solution in that situation would be to take you know, with B to B. Look, if you're gonna pee in the pool, you just got to own.

It rights and the whole Thingrette.

And yet yes, yes, it's.

Like, what do you think of your red dye?

Now?

I just I just made it happen. I'm feeling better about bodily functions after this call.

Beautiful. Well, well, Mike, I'm happy that that you feel a little better about the natural processes of your body. And I'm happy for the role that I got to play in that.

Thank you.

I love you very much. I'll talk to you again soon.

I love you too.

Bye.

Call from Aaron.

Two Aaron.

Hello, Hello, Aaron, Oh my god.

Hi, you know, I'm all right. Thank you for asking. Not a lot of people ask me how I am, but it makes me feel good when they do. Not that they're obligated.

Too, But.

That's okay. I'm really happy to be talking to you. I've tried calling you many streams, but here we are.

How many times did you have to call to get in.

Well?

Today this is like my fourth call.

But previously I would call you so many times that it would like you know clear my most recent calls.

Who who else do you call a lot in your life?

Sometimes I call my mom, she's pretty sick. I like my mom. Yeah, I mean, that's about it. I don't talk to a lot of people. That's my story. Who do you call?

Do you intentionally not talk to a lot of people? Or do you do you try to talk to people but they don't won't talk to you.

I feel like I intentionally don't talk to people. I kind of ignore people a lot. I don't like people.

Why don't you.

Because they're stupid. It's just like every day, you know, existence is more painful with the amount of stupid people I deal with. I don't know.

That you have ever met.

Okay, So here's a good one. So I work in a restaurant and I'm in the amazing state of North Carolina. So in North Carolina, our COVID numbers are just beautiful. So people really don't like wearing masks. So at my job, I have to tell people to tell them or I have to tell them to wear their mask, and people will often scream at me about it and then ask me why they should wear one, even though they're grown adults. And you know what, it's just like mentally exhausting, and

Now, what is it about your surroundings you think that have separated? Did you from the hive mind of Greenville that has decided upon not wearing masks?

Yeah?

I don't really know. I just moved here from New York. But for some reason, people just really don't like it. I just I don't know why. It's just like the whole entire state of New York or New York, the whole entire state of North Carolina just said that, you know, mass are stupid and they don't exist and they shouldn't exist.

Why'd you move from New York?

I'm going to college down here now. So yeah, that's my.

Story, although I feel like you didn't you kind of bring Why did you choose to move to Greenville?

Well, I hate to correct you, but it's called Greensboro.

But I've been saying Greenville this whole time.

Yeah, but you know what, I'm just gonna let it go. You know what, you deserve a pat You're doing great.

Hold on, what would you not letting it go look like, though, what would you making a big deal of it be?

I don't know, that's actually a great question. I would probably just, you know, correct you the same way as I would right now, But I would in that case.

You So, in that case, you did make your version of.

A big deal out of it, I guess.

But it did take me a while, you know, I just you know, I figured that, you know, I just I should.

Correct you, all right?

So why did you choose to go to Greenborough?

Mostly just a college I'm going to. It's really good for music because I want to be a musician, that's the tea.

But but how does music school online working for you? Right now?

So I'm kind of doing hybrids. But music school online.

Is really ass.

Actually sorry, I don't know. I think I can swear on the stream. Wow, it really sucks. I have to listen to a lot of classical music by really old, dead white men that I really don't care about and then tell people what I think about it, which I obviously have to lie because it's fucking tucks and I hate listening to it. But you know what, that's just the way it is.

Aaron, Why are you? Why are you so upset.

It's just the way, you know. I don't know. I feel like I'm a really negative person that has just become my personality trait. That's like my only redeeming quality besides the fact that I have from one point five brain cells. And it's kind of entertaining. But you know what, it's just my personality straight, it's just misery.

What can you do?

It could be not miserable.

I don't know.

I feel like that you're supposed to tell me how to be not miserable if you are the therapy echo, give me some examples. What should I do?

I think you should lower your expectations of not just other people, but of but of everything, of everyone.

And someone told me I should move.

You know what, I.

Hard agree. I miss New York.

I think you should lower your expectations of the general citizens of the general public of Greenville. Should lower your expectations of me to give you adequate advice. Should lower your expectations of college to give you adequate experience.

You know what, You're probably right, I have. You know, I have pretty low expectations most of the time, but I feel like they can go lower. And you know what, maybe then I'll be happy once again.

I think it'll help. At least.

This isn't really enlightening cock. I'm really glad. I'm glad moment together.

I'm glad we're sharing this moment too.

Yeah, I'm you know, I'm really glad I found you. You're a diamond in the rough. Therapy, get go, you know, I'm just happy to be here.

We did it.

We got you, We got you something, we got you somewhere, we got you, got to be this. That was that was a positive. We got a solid positive twenty seconds out of you. And I think if we can get twenty second Saturday, we can get years.

Eric.

I hope. So, I hope we can, you know, continue our sessions and hopefully one day I can just be, you know, a more positive person with your guidance. And you know what, I hope you don't have any more poop called for now, within at least the next hour.

Well, I don't have any expectations, so.

Yeah, maybe you should lower them a little and you'll be happier.

Maybe I should. I'll love you and I'll talk to you again soon.

I love you too. I hope you have an amazing.

Night you as well.
