a lot of money and they get to travel, and
that's what I look for in life.

even begin to dissect this situation or even desire to
call it a situation. Not to downplay your but also

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah, your mom's off, your mom's gone off the deep end.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Oh yeah, she also see here she had we had
a gambling issue.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
She uh decided to adopt or not adopt buy a
bunch of dogs after her mom died, and uh so,
right now, her like entire life is Disney and these
dogs which kind of sucks because like you know, like
I don't live at home anymore, but she really doesn't
(10:25):
really reach out or anything like that. It's all about
the dogs.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And Yeah, that fucking sucks, man, because it's it's weird.
It's hard with you when when when you have a
thing like this with your parents, like have you have
you had a have you like sat her down for
a conversation and been like, uh, listen, I'm trying to
have you in my life. Uh, and you just keep
(10:50):
running away to Disney World.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, basically we have I remember, you know, like calling
her and like basically like crying, dang, like why why
are you doing this? Like we my my sister, who's
who's still Who's seventeen? She was like sixteen at the
first time she did. She was like fifteen or fourteen,
and she was just and she was were just like
(11:14):
upset because she's not answering the calls and ignoring all
of us. And I remember I was crying. I'm like, mom,
why aren't you answering? Why do you care more about
Disney and then us? You just left all your responsibilities
at home? What about your your dogs? Just abandoned them
and forced our father to take care of them when
(11:35):
she's when he has a full time job, he has
still on top of everything.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
M why are you guys? Are you guys in Florida?
Or is she like taking no plane trips?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
No, she's driving.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Where what state are you in?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
We're in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
She fucking is driving. How often is she driving down
to Florida to become a Disney blog person?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Okay, well right now she has a stupid thing called
a job. That so she can't like take as much
time off as she wants to spend in Disney. But
she needs a job to pay for Disney, so she
has to work unfortunately, so fad Okay, but she goes.
(12:27):
She used to. The longest she was there was maybe
six weeks once and then she went. She goes maybe
about three times a year at least.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So what I mean, what's up with? What's up with you?
What are you doing? Are you like in school or something?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Oh? No, I've worked. I've worked like ever since I
was like legally able to. Actually I was. I was
kind of thinking about that recently. I look, it's kind
of liked that. Like my sister who's seventeen right now,
she has two jobs right now, and then my other
sister who's nineteen, she's a job too, And I'm just like,
I think about the fact that like as soon as
(13:10):
all of us were legally able to work, even though
we're not, we're not like struggling. We were never like
my dad had a good job, but just my mom
was so irresponsible with money. It just like never, you
never felt like we had any money. So now I'm
trying to picture my sister who's seventeen, doesn't fall on
the same trap I did, where I gave up most
(13:31):
of my my last high school years to working and
didn't do anything fun socially.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, what do you I mean, what do you do
you have? Do you have dreams for the future moving forward?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah, I mean like I want to do things, like
I have goals and aspirations. But like, bottom line is
I really missed my family. I miss having They don't
they don't even live that My family home is twenty
minutes fifteen minutes away. But I can't do that. I
can't even go see them.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And you can't and you can't you can't get You
can't rally your mom or your dad or your siblings too. Oh,
we cried, get to go to therapy or something like that.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Can you she claims that this is good for her
anxiety or something like this is we all stress her
out and we and this is for her mental health.
And I'm like, I always tell her, what about my
mental health? And your other daughter's mental health and our
father's mental health? Who you know, we're all miserable because like,
first of all, I have when she's not my dad,
(14:39):
he works in the city and you know someone he has.
He gets to work from home most of the time.
But it's a hybrid schedule. So there were times when
like I had to literally take off of my job
that I need to support myself so she can go
take to take my sister to school because my dad
had to go into the office. And like the like
(15:00):
I don't want to know how much money, but I
bet it's tens of thousands of dollars in the past
couple of years.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
M M.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, uh, you know, let's stay. Here's the thing, and
I'm I'm just gonna give it to you straight. Is
that this this is this is this what's your name again?
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Let's go with the corn corn?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Oh yeah, corn corn. Look, I'm gonna tell you something.
I I'm I fucking I don't know. I'm not a
family therapist. I'm fucking h a dumb little boy, and uh,
you know, I can only tell you things that are
how uh I would operate if I was in your situation.
(15:45):
There's a weird uh natural I guess unraveling of of
of things as you get older. I suppose of like
friend groups and and family, you know, and and sometimes
it's like, I don't know at this point, if you've
(16:06):
rallied everyone together, if you can still if you can
keep a good it sounds like your mom is going
off the fucking deep end, but like if you can
keep a good relationship going with your sisters, like I
would just focus on that. I would just focus on
like rallying the troops that want to stay on board,
because if your mom is going to Disney World and
(16:26):
she doesn't give a fuck, like A, first of all,
I'm really really sorry to hear that, because that's just sucks.
But like, you know, who's left, Like who can you
rally that's left? How can you stay in touch with
your siblings? How can you you know, let your siblings
know that you're still there for them? How can you
you know, you know, keep doing fucking dinners, keep going
(16:50):
to their house, like just if you want your family back, like,
you know, stay, try to have a positive relationship because
I'm sure sure that you're maybe not the one, the
one that is being dragged along to Disney. I actually
can't tell if she likes your mom more or hates
her more than the people who are quiant.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
But like, the thing is is like she has like
she she has like some mental developmental disabilities, okay, and
she's like and she like is clung to my mom
her dear life.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I told her like I told her, like listen mom,
Like I don't mean like because she's always that issue.
She was physically violent to me with as children, okay,
and I always was like, mom, you have to do
something before it's too late. When she turns eighteen, you
cannot force her anymore. You have to do this. She's like,
oh no, And then next thing, you know, she after
(17:45):
she turns eighteen, she's calm and complaining your sister's a monster.
She's doing all this stuff. I'm like, you made her
a monster, you made her that way, and she won't
she doesn't want to she'sn't great denial about it. She's
in denial about briefing. There's never a problem. It's always
us being a problem. We stress her out because of
(18:05):
me trying to her. That stresses her out because she
needs to stay longer in Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
What about what about your what about your your younger sister?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Like her track, He's he's good. I mean right now,
she's doing really good in school. I'm really proud of
her actually, But like the issue is that my mom
also is she's also a horder. So all that's there's
no I can't really go to the house really and
hang out with them.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Here's the thing, is I I I. Here's what I'll say,
and you should. You should really go talk to a
real therapist about this because I'm not I yeah, I know,
I look is here. Here are just two things I
will say from just my perspective on this situation is
a try your fucking best to Uh. It sounds like
(18:54):
the younger sister, I mean, I don't know what's up
with your dad. I don't know if your dad is
just kind of.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
In my dad's okay, Yeah, he's miserable. There's no love
in their relationship. But she won't leave and he can't
legally kick her out. And my dad's basically just trying
to hope at least until my sister graduates high school
and she can go off to college, and then hope
do something because right now there's no real option.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Okay, so here's what I'll say, is, like the the
family members that have not jumped ship into whatever, Like,
whoever's left that you can have a relationship with, try
your best to have a relationship with them. Like it
sounds like you're the sister that's still in high school.
It sounds like you can continue to have a good
(19:41):
relationship with her, It sounds like you can continue to
have a good relationship with your dad. Try your best
to do those things, and then for the remainder of time,
like if you need to, like chill on hanging on
the scene, if you because this situation you sound like
it's driving you fucking me add and you have a life, dude,
(20:02):
You're only you're twenty two. You can fucking go. You're
twenty two. You're a hard working person. Okay, corn, you're
a hard working person, but work in your entire fucking life.
You're a young person. You you have, so you hold on.
You have so much potential to fucking go out on you.
You you live with, you live alone, you live You
left the.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
House right, Yeah, I left the house.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Okay. Do you live by yourself? You live with roommates?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Do you live by yourself? Do you live with roommates
with ms? Sorry, you live with roommate? You fucking you.
Look you you had enough initiative coming from this crazy
situation to work your way so that you're out of
the house independent on your own. I assume, pen your
own bills and shit you and for the rest of
your fucking life, you just have the work ethic you have,
(20:48):
the like you you just for whatever fucking craziness you
came from, right, like, just a hold hold tight on
the fact that the rest you have the potential to
just make a fucking great life for yourself beyond this.
So just do me, So, just do me, do me
a favorite. And I know that you're trying really hard
(21:08):
to keep your family together, and you should keep your
relationship going with the people who you really desire to
keep a relationship going. And I also know and I'm
talking out of my ass, and I have no idea
what I'm doing. But you just I know it's painful.
I know it's so fucking painful to like be a
part of this, and I know it's gonna take a
(21:30):
while to get over that pain and to to fucking
feel that pain. But just on the other side of
that pain is a great life. One day, You'll you'll
fucking meet some someone right, and you'll eventually have kids,
and you'll you'll be able to have the agency to
make a household it's not as fucking crazy as the
(21:50):
one that you grew up in, and you'll be able
to have you have have friends like you just just don't.
I just the worst thing from my perspective that could
happen in this situation is that you spend so much
time trying to fix this thing with your mom that
is unfortunately a lot of it is out of your control,
(22:11):
because if your mom is crazy, your mom is crazy
and that's her own battle. And you've done it sounds
to me like everything that you've fucking done everything you
can to get the family back together. But I would
just hate if you after spending so much time doing that,
we're doing it. We're now in active neglect of your
(22:36):
own life's potential. So again, if I were you, just
salvage the relationships that you if salvage and invest in
the relationships that you can with your sister, with your dad,
with your mom if she comes around, with your other sister,
if she comes around. But don't but focus, take your
focus away from my mom is crazy and this is
(22:59):
the it's your focal point in my life, and just
and just move it good and just like bring it
forward to like what what's going on?
Speaker 7 (23:08):
You know?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Always yeah, my dad always tells me that you need
like as much as you care about me and your sisters,
you have to live your own life. You can't let
us hold you back from living. And I know it's
the truth, and it's I hate to have to come
to terms with it, but it's the truth. And I
can't keep I can't grow if I'm from stuck worrying
(23:29):
about them. That's an issue I have.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
I worry about a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
And here's and here's yeah, go ahead, go ahead, Yeah,
I have.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I have a good support system. I think it's just
like you know, it's just like as an adult, I've
come to realize these patterns that my mom in behavior,
they're not new they've always been like this. They're just
like I notice it more because I'm more self aware.
You know, my mom had me be a I was
a child model, and like, I never saw penny of that,
(23:59):
and like, and I didn't realize that at the time,
but one time my mom tried told me that five
hundred dollars is more than eight hundred dollars. You can
spend three hundred on jewelry.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Listen again, I I would corn, Listen Corn again. I'm
sorry that you should probably go talk to a real
therapist about all this stuff too. But again, what I
really have to say is like, hold down site on
your own fucking life, Okay, try to have something within
the craziness. Hold on tight to the market you're gonna
have You're gonna have a great life. You're gonna raise
(24:36):
you if if it's what you want. I don't know
if it's what you want, but if if, if one
day it's what you want to have your own family
and whatnot, you know you can do that. You can
live a great life. And if you do decide that
you want to have a family in the future, you
can take their asses to UH Universal Studios because it's
(24:56):
it's much better anyway.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, Corn, Yeah, I mean, you're right.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Is there anything else you want to say to the
people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I'm trying to think here, I don't know. I mean,
is is there any like anyone any I don't want
to have a question or anything like that in the
chat or I can answer. I just you know, it's
it's just really I I know I have to love
(25:29):
I love myself more and put the bug good.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
That's what you should do.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
But I just have to accept that part. That's the
hard part I can't accept is that, you know, I
need to stop loving others more than myself.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
I truly do believe that the rides at Universal Studios
are a lot better. What does Universal Studios have? Well,
first of all, Universe Studios have the Mario Ride, which
is good. Actually I didn't like the Mario Ride that much.
Here's the problem with the Mario Ride is that it
was a shooting ride, and it was a three D ride,
(26:31):
but it also had like physical sets, you know, so
like there was too much going on, and I like,
occasionally I would like take my three D glasses off
and have to look around at the physical sets. You
know what, Maybe I'll have a family and abandon them
and become a Universal Studios blogger. That actually that sounds
(26:53):
kind of fun. Hello. Hello, Hey, what's your name?

Speaker 5 (28:19):
What do you think about it?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Do I care it all about bitcoin? Uh? It's a
thing I don't know. Does it do it? Does it
do anything? Can you use it?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Like? Can you like are you saying can you spend

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Okay do you I Do you care about bitcoin?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
I do I do?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Tell me tell me why you care about it me?
Speaker 5 (28:56):
I mean, I'll tell you my story.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Tell me your story, Tell me your story.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Okay. Well, you know, so since I was eighteen, like
in in high school, I was always interested in, like
I got interested in like the stock market and stuff,
you know what I mean? So like that interested me.
I started learning about investing and then kind of go
(29:24):
into like this is pre COVID, So like pre COVID
investing was different, i'd say, right, Like, you learn about
investing and you're like, oh, dividend stocks, Oh, you could
make three cents per share if you buy I don't know,
coke or pepsi or something. This is sounding boring. Sorry,
(29:45):
this isn't this isn't very entertaining.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I guess. I'm here to I am here to listen
to you talk. So dear guys, just go ahead, all right.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Uh yeah, So, you know, start investing in the like
dividend stocks, and I'm like, okay, this is going you know,
I start to build up a little bit of a position,
get a couple like a thousand or two thousand dollars.
I'm eighteen at the time, so like I'm you know,
I'm young. You know, a couple thousands pretty good for me,
I guess. And then COVID hit and like I start
(30:23):
learning about real estate too. I start learning about all
that kind of stuff, like how the market works and
how all of this happens and all of this stuff.
But then COVID kind of changed everything for me and
my like life perspective, I'd say, I as it did
for everybody, because like when you're working hard for your
(30:46):
money and then the government can just print twelve, like
twelve hundred dollars to everybody, that really changed my mindset
and like, I don't know, I'm on more of like
a investing side of the internet. So like you see
the FED chairman go out and say, oh, yeah, we
(31:07):
have unlimited cash to hand out to people that need money.
Well it's like, well, I work for my money. I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
We don't have money printers, we can't just print money.
So yeah, I started looking into money like this this
whole and then I started doing research and then you
find out like, okay, well they say the stimulus check
isn't going to cause inflation, but you know for a
(31:39):
fact it is. And then Drone Pale and all of
these people say, oh, no, inflation, that's not gonna happen,
and then inflation happens, and then they're like, okay, well
inflation is transitory, and then well you're like, well you're
lying because this is a lot of money and slation
(31:59):
is in transitory. It's going to keep happening for years.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
It's okay, you know what, you know what, you know
what you are You're right, this is getting a little boring.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yeah, I kind of figured that's okay.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
But but what do you want to do with all
your money? Man? What do you want to do with it?
What's the point? What's the goal?
Speaker 5 (32:23):
What do I want to So basically a lot of people.
So my perspective is that bitcoin is the new revolution,
the new money of the world. I think it is
the best invention to ever you know, one of the
best inventions ever created. I think the story of bitcoin
(32:43):
is very interesting. I think, yeah, and I think a
lot when I talk to people about it, it's either
something like this, you know, it's boring, my story's boring
about it, whatever, or it's a scam or you know,
and it's like, how do I go about talking to
people about bitcoin? You know? In in a better fact?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Listen, listen man, how old are you?
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Twenty four?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Twenty four? And you wanna what do you want to
do with all your Because here's here's let me tell
you something. One day, one day, you're gonna have a
million dollars, right do you think?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
So?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, one day you're gonna have a million dollars. What
are you gonna do with it? You know what are
you gonna, is it gonna? What are you gonna do?
What do you want to Lambeau? You wanna fucking do nothing?
What do you wanna? What do you wanna do?
Speaker 4 (33:36):
You know?
Speaker 5 (33:36):
I just want to take care of my future family
and stuff. Nothing crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Probably that's pretty good. That's pretty good. All right?
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Well, very boring.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
I'm not I'm not really interesting.
Speaker 8 (33:49):
I mean, it's not the hold on, hold on, hold
on man? Why why don't we don't need to We're
just talking. We don't need to be talking, and also
having hitting ourselves with with judgment calls as to whether
or not we're interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Or boring or you know, we don't have time. That
was being funny. I mean, also it is kind of boring.
But but we we but we can withhold our judgment
calls on ourselves. Okay, And I'm not saying hold on. Sure,
the conversation that we were having was boring, but we don't.
(34:25):
But you, I'm not going I would never say that
you are a boring person. You are not an interesting
person as you as a human being, your essence. I
would never say that, and I wouldn't want you to
say that about yourself. You know, we're just talking. I mean,
we could talk about a billion different things. I'm not
but I don't want you to walk away from this
(34:46):
conversation thinking that you yourself are not are are inherently
not interesting, even if I look, I like talking about
stocks and uh things. You know, maybe it's maybe, but
but in this very moment, perhaps I am not that interesting.
(35:07):
Perhaps you are not that interesting in this very moment.
But we've lived long lives. We're gonna keep living long lives,
will be will be more things at more moments. We
don't have to fucking say that we're one thing forever
and in the future and forever in the past, you
know what I mean. So yeah, that's that's that's that's
(35:28):
my takeaway from this conversation about bitcoin is don't beat you.
Don't beat yourself up about it.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Man.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You're You're plenty interesting. You're a human being alive on
the ear. You're the fact that you are our conscious
being is is an insane thing. So just keep being
that and you're inherently interesting and whatever you do on
top of that is interesting.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
You know what, I think You're just I really, to
be honest, I think you're just saying a bunch of
words to get me off the call. I think that's
where this is geting.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Event well, yeah, eventually, yeah, we'll have to end the call.
But but I you do you think I don't mean
the things I'm saying to you right now?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
I mean, not necessarily, no, honestly, No, you.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Mean you know, as in you believe no isn' you
think I don't believe them? And no is in you what?
Speaker 5 (36:27):
I don't think you're believe. I don't think you believe
the words that you say.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Well, you know what I do right now. And if
you if you don't want to, if you don't want
to believe them, that's on you. But I believe them.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
Okay, all right man?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
What's what's your name again?
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Anthony?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Anthony Anthony? I sincerely, No, I'm not. I'm not religious
really why, I don't know. I grew up a little religious.
Are you religious?
Speaker 7 (36:56):
Recently?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
I've been getting religious?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah, into Jesus.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Yeah, I've actually I actually just got baptized on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Well good actually, good man, listen. Here's the thing is
I I I say again, on here?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Do you talk about it? On here?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Do I talk about what?
Speaker 6 (37:15):
On here?
Speaker 5 (37:16):
Religion?
Speaker 1 (37:18):
So sometimes sometimes Okay, I genuine and you know what,
this is the last thing I'm gonna say because I
believe these things I'm saying, and I'm gonna say them
to you. In finality, I genuinely believe You're gonna make
a million dollars. Jesus is gonna guide you. You think
I'm fucking lying to you. I'm being one hundred and series.
(37:38):
You're gonna make a million dollars, You're gonna find a
beautiful wife, You're gonna have children. You're gonna long forget
when you're like forty five years old and you have
a beautiful wife and children and you're taking them to
church and you have a bunch of money. You it'll
have been forty it'll have been twenty years since you
even ever thought about this phone call. And you're gonna
(38:02):
do that. I don't I don't know what I'm going
to be doing, but I just know in my gut
you're going to be living a happy and nice life.
And you think I'm just saying and you think I'm
just saying this to you to get you off the phone.
I'm going to get you off the phone just because
I am. But you but you think I'm fucking bullshitting you,
and I I mean what I'm saying one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
Okay, I'm I don't.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
I don't think I'm look, I started getting into bitcoin
because of the money.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
I think it's bigger than just the money. I think
it's about the whole system of government. You know, people
you know on the left, they say it's because of capitalism.
You know, I don't. I think that the Fiat currency
system is the problem. So like when you say, oh,
I'm going to make a million dollars, I don't really
(38:55):
have that exact perspective, you know what I mean, Like,
I don't look at the world through a dollar perspective.
If that makes.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Sense, it does make sense that at the world, no,
you look at I I get it, you, I get it.
You think in terms of value, now, not in terms
of dollars because of because I understand. But but you
hold on, you're getting lost. But you're getting lost in
the semantics. You will have a million, you will have
(39:23):
whatever the equivalent of a million dollars is, but it's
not gonna matter. What's gonna matter is you're gonna have
a wife and children and Jesus and that's gonna guide
you through this insane experience of being alive. And that's
what that's what I have to say to you. And
I'm I'm extremely happy for you. I think you're gonna
be I think you're gonna fucking blow it out of
(39:44):
the water. And you really do think I'm being facetious
right now, And I just swear on my child's life
that I'm not. No, I'm swearing on my first child's life.
I'm not being facetious about any the things I'm saying
to you. I I think you're gonna have a good
life because you're guided. But you seem sane. I mean
(40:07):
that in my God, that's how you feel as you
feel easy.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Yeah, we're going to end the call, but I really
last thing I'm gonna say, okay, is it's about you know,
religion and Jesus. And if you're you care about the
truth in life, you know you want truth, I would
say really historical from historical evidence. You know, ask yourself these.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Questions, there's no fucking truth, Anthony, that there's no fucking truth.
There's your truth, there's my truth, there's eight billion truths.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
That's not the perspective I have, but I'm believing.
Speaker 9 (40:41):
No exactly, that's what hold on what you Anthony, What
you just said proves my point.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
That is not the perspective that you have. We have
two different perspectives. We have two different truths.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
It's not necessarily because Okay, say you don't believe in
God and I do, and Jesus is real and God
is real, and you think that when you die you
just go into the ground and you become a fertilizer.
But that's not true. There is one truth, you know
(41:14):
what I mean? Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Look right, the sky is blue. But if I say
it's green, that's my vote in reality. And reality is reality.
What is truth?
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Truth is what the truth is. It's it's the fact God.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
You're gonna have such an awesome life. I really believe
that you're gonna have such an I really believe.
Speaker 7 (41:49):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
You're gonna have an awesome life for multiple I just
you're gonna have it. Also, life for multiple reasons is
one You're gonna find some other super Christian lady and
you guys are gonna start a Christian household. Your life
is gonna have direction, to it, guided by Jesus and God.
You're gonna raise Christian children, You're gonna get involved in
(42:13):
the church community. You're gonna make smart financial decisions and
be able to send your kids to You're gonna have
a great life, Anthony.
Speaker 5 (42:22):
Did I appreciate that way?
Speaker 1 (42:23):
I believe. I don't know what's gonna I don't know.
I don't know what's gonna happen. Then maybe I know
you're gonna have a great life. And I fully and
we I you have your own truth. That's what's exciting
to me about your life is that you have your
own truth. I have my I'm sort of searching for
a little for some version of truth right now. But
(42:47):
you have your own truth. That's great. I'm excited for you.
And I swear on on the future of of not
only America, but also of the the the you a e.
I swear on the future of the of of Saint Lucia.
I swear on the future of the state of Montana.
(43:10):
And I swear on my cousin's life that you're gonna
have a great life because I believe in it so heavily.
And you think I'm being facetious, but I'm not. I
was not you know what, Yeah, go ahead, you have
all right, go ahead, you have something else.
Speaker 5 (43:30):
Well, I was just gonna go back to the three questions.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
I'm not gonna I'm gonna end it before you get
into the three questions. But I because we're gonna go
in circles. But Anthony, I love you so much, Anthony.
I love you so much. You're gonna have a great life,
and I will see you hopefully, hopefully. Anthony.
Speaker 9 (43:50):
If there is one truth, if there is, Anthony, Anthony,
shut the fuck up, Anthony. If there's one truth, Anthony,
shut up for a second. I hope there is one truth,
and that I see you in heaven and I will
talk to you around. I will, Actually I'll probably never
talk to you again. But I think you will have
an awesome life, and I love you very much, and
I'll see you around, hopefully we will.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
I'll see you in heaven. Okay, I'm gonna hang up
on you. Bye. That was Anthony. I know we're gonna
get I've a whole lot a few things to clear up.
I know we're gonna get a ton of negative comments
about Anthony, and I will defend him against all of
those negative comments because I believed it deeply in what
(44:34):
I said to him just now. I believe he's gonna
have a good life, He's gonna raise nice children. He'll
never understand. I don't think can I say, can I
share something? Maybe it's a little bit depressing. But I
saw a comment on the internet, which is where I
(44:55):
go to receive all of my best information. I saw
a comment on Reddit. If ignorance is bliss, is clarity misery?
I think I don't want to say that Anthony is ignorant.
I actually take that back, but I don't. I think
(45:16):
in Anthony's belief he finds meaning and happiness.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
And I I think he's going to have a good
life because of that. And I think that because he's
gonna he I think he'll be fine. I just think
he'll be okay. I mean everything I said, I even
I and I swear that I mean everything I said
on the State of Montana and on the UAE and
on Yeah, he'll be fine. He'll be fine. You'll be fine.
(45:48):
Go if you're thinking about writing some fucking comment, you can,
but you'll be fine, and he'll be fine, and everything
will be fine.
Speaker 5 (45:57):
Joe, Hello, Hey man, how are you hey?

know how currents move around the ocean.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Wow, how currents move around the ocean? Is that exciting stuff?
Speaker 4 (46:46):
It can be if you want to know where trash
is going, or if you're a I suppose if you're
a government and you want to sue another government, uh
for for pouting and water, it could be exciting.
Speaker 7 (46:59):
But yeah, it's all.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Very nice, very nice. Josh, you said, Joe, Joe, you
call me Josh.
Speaker 5 (47:10):

want to talk about today?
Speaker 7 (47:22):
Not much. I actually wasn't even expecting to get through.
It's been uh, I don't know, an easy day.
Speaker 4 (47:28):
I figured be fun just to shoot the ships all
you're streaming and uh so you just got back from
Japan and I did welcome back to the States.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
I guess, thanks buddy. Well, uh, let's see, let's see,
let's see what get what gives you, uh a meaning
in life? Joe? Why do you wake up in the
morning and do anything?
Speaker 4 (47:55):
Well, these days I just had it feels like just yesterday.
But I've got a two year old at home now,
and that's that's quite bizarre.
Speaker 5 (48:07):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (48:08):
You know, I think about a year ago, I had.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
Been reaching out to you as I've been processing a lot.
You know, you have a kid, and suddenly everything feels
like it changes in terms of priorities.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (48:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (48:22):
What you do is it's like so more often these
days it's you get up and you do this. You
do your job because well you have to, not necessarily because.
Speaker 7 (48:33):
You like it.
Speaker 4 (48:34):
I felt like in my twenties I could just kind
of fuck around and.
Speaker 7 (48:37):
I didn't make money.
Speaker 4 (48:38):
It was just me. You know, it wasn't really high
high stakes. You know, now there's a there's a being
that actually.
Speaker 7 (48:45):
Depends on me. So it's you know, sometimes.
Speaker 4 (48:47):
You put up with more things that than than you
probably would have when it was just you.
Speaker 7 (48:52):
Mm hmm, yeah, mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (48:59):
But y know, this.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
Having so goddamn, let's see, like ten years ago, what
year is this, twenty twenty, fifteen years ago? Holy shit,
fifteen years ago when I started studying oceanography, my mom
(49:23):
had died, and you know, I kind of went into
this phase of just kind of like putting my head down.
Speaker 7 (49:28):
And doing work, and then it was more trying to travel.
Speaker 4 (49:34):
And you know, kind of figure out what what the
hell this whole thing is that I'm living. And I
don't know, I can't believe, well, I can't even believe fifteen.
Speaker 7 (49:47):
Years is gone by to get to this point.
Speaker 4 (49:50):
But I moved around a lot, like basically evorite two years,
went to another state, tried another job. You know, I
just really partner got pregnant and have we had to
figure out O.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
Sorry you cut out after you said that you moved
states every two years.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (50:08):
No, so it's just after after a while of doing that,
my partner got pregnant and we had to figure out
how we were going to accommodate, you know, another person.
Speaker 7 (50:18):
We had been living like in.
Speaker 4 (50:20):
A little five hundred square foot apartment with a dog
and a cat already, and it was like, you can't
it was I don't know it just didn't seem like
it was going to be a nice, comfortable space to
have a family, and so we ended up.
Speaker 7 (50:34):
Moving to a very rural area. This is not like
a lot to do, but I don't know.
Speaker 4 (50:43):
It just opened up some opportunities since folks were getting
more comfortable with like remote work, started working for myself
and just doing consulting and other things on the side,
and eventually became enough to keep it going. But but now,
you know, with with kid being here, it's you start
taking jobs that necessary. You know, years ago I would
(51:04):
have turned down.
Speaker 7 (51:05):
But now you just kind of do them because.
Speaker 4 (51:08):
Well it's work, not necessarily supposed to enjoy it, but
you need to keep the you know, keep the beasts fed.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
I guess, right, right, right, right, yeah? I mean, how
how old are you now?
Speaker 7 (51:22):
I am thirty four?
Speaker 1 (51:24):
And how do you feel about life compared to when
you were in your twenties? Do you feel better about it?
Do you feel worse about it? Do feel thinking about it?
Speaker 7 (51:32):
Way better?
Speaker 1 (51:33):
Way better?
Speaker 4 (51:33):
I mean, I was just I don't know, shoving a
lot of shit down in my twenties, and it is
just like I think the moving was just like running constantly,
just not really wanting to process deaths in my family
and all that.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
M yeah, what what do you feel like you were
running from?
Speaker 4 (51:55):
I suppose, well, uh, and so, I mean my mom
had shot herself and I was trying to understand, you know,
where that capacity to do something like that came from.
And I'd have nights, you know, I ended up, you know,
(52:17):
smoking weed a lot, and I sort of have problems
with alcohol a little bit and kind of kind of
went through these like sort of roller coaster phases of
like now I'm gonna be clean and sober, and sometimes
I was like, ah, fuck it all who cares? And
I think, but there was a lot a lot of
times when I was in those like those those darker phases,
(52:39):
it was just thinking about where.
Speaker 7 (52:43):
Where that capacity comes from. Is that like a genetic thing?
Is it? Is it you know, is it really brain.
Speaker 4 (52:48):
Chemistry or or there was there just like a certain
set of circumstances that that drove her to that. And
you know what, it didn't help that, you know, three
to four years after that, my uncle did the same
thing on my dad's side. So it's like, Okay, now
I got two sides of the family that are often
themselves for well, you know whatever reason, which and I
(53:10):
don't think I really ever got a straight answer from
folks about like what was really going on, because like
a lot of the family just doesn't want to talk
about it. But yeah, there's there was a lot of
processing of death in my twenties that I didn't think
i'd have to confront that young.
Speaker 7 (53:28):
And uh, you know.
Speaker 4 (53:32):
That I did start going to therapy and really digging
into that, and that was that was actually kind of
hard to talk about.
Speaker 7 (53:42):
That first. Now mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
So what's uh, what's what's giving you life now? What's
what's making you feel better now?
Speaker 7 (53:53):
Well? Uh, I like.
Speaker 4 (53:57):
That I've got a house that I I can't it's
I know, it's a very hard thing to get to
these days, but it's something you know, I don't I
don't own it yet. I'm paying a mortgage, but I've
got something. I've got land enough to where I can
spend time out in the yard my partner and in
the kiddo and where you know, starting a garden and
(54:21):
that's growing. I can kind of I can get up
and work really flexible schedules.
Speaker 7 (54:29):
I think I'm very.
Speaker 4 (54:29):
Blessed that that situation ended up working out pretty good.
I like throwing pottery that that's been neat getting into it.
I didn't realize that when I moved to where I
moved to. But there's a really cool pottery tradition in
this area. People doing wood firing and digging up their
(54:51):
own clay, and it's it's pretty neat.
Speaker 1 (54:53):
Mm hmm hmm. What part of what part of the
town are you in?
Speaker 5 (54:59):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (55:00):
Western North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
Western North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (55:04):
Pretty yeah, so not not not Ashville, but it's uh,
you know, something a little bit more affordable.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
I've heard Ashville is like the a crazy like a
hippie place. Now it is.
Speaker 4 (55:18):
And I know, I went there like ten years ago
and it was pretty cool, and then I went there
two years ago and the street smelled like piss.
Speaker 1 (55:26):
They got they got hit pretty hard with some natural disasters,
didn't they.

To say ration to water, but they got to go
with the drugs to a truck and get fresh water.
Speaker 3 (55:49):
Mmmmm yeah.
Speaker 7 (55:51):
It's pretty rough.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
I don't know what they mean by evolution of Kelvin
waves in the Southeast. I don't know what it was there.
Maybe ask them if there's.

Speaker 7 (58:09):
I went for my shirt in grad school and then.
Speaker 4 (58:13):
Never used it and I just fell out of it.
Speaker 1 (58:16):
Yeah, it's funny because your connection kind of sounds like
you're calling me from under the sea.
Speaker 7 (58:23):
No man, I'm in I'm in rural North Carolina. The
cell services kind of this year.
Speaker 1 (58:29):

to you, but your connection has kind of been a
little shitty. But uh it's it's great. Oh wait, okay,

of questions. I kind of want to ask. See here,
what's your favorite fish?
Speaker 7 (59:04):
Favorite fish?
Speaker 4 (59:06):
I like flounders because they got two heads on, two
eyes on one side of their body.
Speaker 7 (59:12):
They're fucking weird.
Speaker 4 (59:15):
That that or if you haven't seen them.
Speaker 6 (59:17):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (59:18):
Some people call them sunfish. Other people call them mullah mullahs.

but is still living.
Speaker 7 (59:26):
It's they're weird. I like weird things.
Speaker 1 (59:31):
Uh. Where is the biggest trash island? And can we
live on that?
Speaker 7 (59:39):
Can you live on? I mean you, no one, no
one can stop you. I think some billionaires were trying
to like do this.
Speaker 4 (59:47):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (59:47):
I think the biggest one is still in the Pacific.
Most of the stuff I'm looking at they are though.
Speaker 4 (59:54):
And this is just to explain my potential ignorance if
there's a bigger one than in the Pacific.
Speaker 7 (59:59):
But I'm and the north of Europe around English Journal
and all that near civilization.
Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
But yeah, I think the Pacific is the biggest one
and then the most disgusting.
Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Well let's see, John, I think, yeah, your phone is bad,
but you're a good guy and that's all that matters.
Is there anything else? Thanks man? Is there anything else

wom them.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Okay, this is a bizarre situation. You're eighteen. Yeah, I

a lot of money and they get to travel, and
that's what I look for in life.

even begin to dissect this situation or even desire to
call it a situation. Not to downplay your but also
(05:36):

it's worth being downplayed. You have a much brighter future
ahead of you, so I don't. I'm not worried about
you at all. I'm I'm so excited for you to
traveling nurse. That'll be good, man, that'll be good.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
She uh decided to adopt or not adopt buy a
bunch of dogs after her mom died, and uh so,
right now, her like entire life is Disney and these
dogs which kind of sucks because like you know, like
I don't live at home anymore, but she really doesn't
(10:25):
really reach out or anything like that. It's all about
the dogs.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And Yeah, that fucking sucks, man, because it's it's weird.
It's hard with you when when when you have a
thing like this with your parents, like have you have
you had a have you like sat her down for
a conversation and been like, uh, listen, I'm trying to
have you in my life. Uh, and you just keep
(10:50):
running away to Disney World.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, basically we have I remember, you know, like calling
her and like basically like crying, dang, like why why
are you doing this? Like we my my sister, who's
who's still Who's seventeen? She was like sixteen at the
first time she did. She was like fifteen or fourteen,
and she was just and she was were just like
(11:14):
upset because she's not answering the calls and ignoring all
of us. And I remember I was crying. I'm like, mom,
why aren't you answering? Why do you care more about
Disney and then us? You just left all your responsibilities
at home? What about your your dogs? Just abandoned them
and forced our father to take care of them when
(11:35):
she's when he has a full time job, he has
still on top of everything.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
M why are you guys? Are you guys in Florida?
Or is she like taking no plane trips?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
No, she's driving.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Where what state are you in?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
We're in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
She fucking is driving. How often is she driving down
to Florida to become a Disney blog person?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Okay, well right now she has a stupid thing called
a job. That so she can't like take as much
time off as she wants to spend in Disney. But
she needs a job to pay for Disney, so she
has to work unfortunately, so fad Okay, but she goes.
(12:27):
She used to. The longest she was there was maybe
six weeks once and then she went. She goes maybe
about three times a year at least.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So what I mean, what's up with? What's up with you?
What are you doing? Are you like in school or something?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Oh? No, I've worked. I've worked like ever since I
was like legally able to. Actually I was. I was
kind of thinking about that recently. I look, it's kind
of liked that. Like my sister who's seventeen right now,
she has two jobs right now, and then my other
sister who's nineteen, she's a job too, And I'm just like,
I think about the fact that like as soon as
(13:10):
all of us were legally able to work, even though
we're not, we're not like struggling. We were never like
my dad had a good job, but just my mom
was so irresponsible with money. It just like never, you
never felt like we had any money. So now I'm
trying to picture my sister who's seventeen, doesn't fall on
the same trap I did, where I gave up most
(13:31):
of my my last high school years to working and
didn't do anything fun socially.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, what do you I mean, what do you do
you have? Do you have dreams for the future moving forward?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah, I mean like I want to do things, like
I have goals and aspirations. But like, bottom line is
I really missed my family. I miss having They don't
they don't even live that My family home is twenty
minutes fifteen minutes away. But I can't do that. I
can't even go see them.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And you can't and you can't you can't get You
can't rally your mom or your dad or your siblings too. Oh,
we cried, get to go to therapy or something like that.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Can you she claims that this is good for her
anxiety or something like this is we all stress her
out and we and this is for her mental health.
And I'm like, I always tell her, what about my
mental health? And your other daughter's mental health and our
father's mental health? Who you know, we're all miserable because like,
first of all, I have when she's not my dad,
(14:39):
he works in the city and you know someone he has.
He gets to work from home most of the time.
But it's a hybrid schedule. So there were times when
like I had to literally take off of my job
that I need to support myself so she can go
take to take my sister to school because my dad
had to go into the office. And like the like
(15:00):
I don't want to know how much money, but I
bet it's tens of thousands of dollars in the past
couple of years.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
M M.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, uh, you know, let's stay. Here's the thing, and
I'm I'm just gonna give it to you straight. Is
that this this is this is this what's your name again?
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Let's go with the corn corn?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Oh yeah, corn corn. Look, I'm gonna tell you something.
I I'm I fucking I don't know. I'm not a
family therapist. I'm fucking h a dumb little boy, and uh,
you know, I can only tell you things that are
how uh I would operate if I was in your situation.
(15:45):
There's a weird uh natural I guess unraveling of of
of things as you get older. I suppose of like
friend groups and and family, you know, and and sometimes
it's like, I don't know at this point, if you've
(16:06):
rallied everyone together, if you can still if you can
keep a good it sounds like your mom is going
off the fucking deep end, but like if you can
keep a good relationship going with your sisters, like I
would just focus on that. I would just focus on
like rallying the troops that want to stay on board,
because if your mom is going to Disney World and
(16:26):
she doesn't give a fuck, like A, first of all,
I'm really really sorry to hear that, because that's just sucks.
But like, you know, who's left, Like who can you
rally that's left? How can you stay in touch with
your siblings? How can you you know, let your siblings
know that you're still there for them? How can you
you know, you know, keep doing fucking dinners, keep going
(16:50):
to their house, like just if you want your family back, like,
you know, stay, try to have a positive relationship because
I'm sure sure that you're maybe not the one, the
one that is being dragged along to Disney. I actually
can't tell if she likes your mom more or hates
her more than the people who are quiant.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
But like, the thing is is like she has like
she she has like some mental developmental disabilities, okay, and
she's like and she like is clung to my mom
her dear life.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I told her like I told her, like listen mom,
Like I don't mean like because she's always that issue.
She was physically violent to me with as children, okay,
and I always was like, mom, you have to do
something before it's too late. When she turns eighteen, you
cannot force her anymore. You have to do this. She's like,
oh no, And then next thing, you know, she after
(17:45):
she turns eighteen, she's calm and complaining your sister's a monster.
She's doing all this stuff. I'm like, you made her
a monster, you made her that way, and she won't
she doesn't want to she'sn't great denial about it. She's
in denial about briefing. There's never a problem. It's always
us being a problem. We stress her out because of
(18:05):
me trying to her. That stresses her out because she
needs to stay longer in Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
What about what about your what about your your younger sister?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Like her track, He's he's good. I mean right now,
she's doing really good in school. I'm really proud of
her actually, But like the issue is that my mom
also is she's also a horder. So all that's there's
no I can't really go to the house really and
hang out with them.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Here's the thing, is I I I. Here's what I'll say,
and you should. You should really go talk to a
real therapist about this because I'm not I yeah, I know,
I look is here. Here are just two things I
will say from just my perspective on this situation is
a try your fucking best to Uh. It sounds like
(18:54):
the younger sister, I mean, I don't know what's up
with your dad. I don't know if your dad is
just kind of.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
In my dad's okay, Yeah, he's miserable. There's no love
in their relationship. But she won't leave and he can't
legally kick her out. And my dad's basically just trying
to hope at least until my sister graduates high school
and she can go off to college, and then hope
do something because right now there's no real option.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Okay, so here's what I'll say, is, like the the
family members that have not jumped ship into whatever, Like,
whoever's left that you can have a relationship with, try
your best to have a relationship with them. Like it
sounds like you're the sister that's still in high school.
It sounds like you can continue to have a good
(19:41):
relationship with her, It sounds like you can continue to
have a good relationship with your dad. Try your best
to do those things, and then for the remainder of time,
like if you need to, like chill on hanging on
the scene, if you because this situation you sound like
it's driving you fucking me add and you have a life, dude,
(20:02):
You're only you're twenty two. You can fucking go. You're
twenty two. You're a hard working person. Okay, corn, you're
a hard working person, but work in your entire fucking life.
You're a young person. You you have, so you hold on.
You have so much potential to fucking go out on you.
You you live with, you live alone, you live You
left the.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
House right, Yeah, I left the house.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Okay. Do you live by yourself? You live with roommates?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Do you live by yourself? Do you live with roommates
with ms? Sorry, you live with roommate? You fucking you.
Look you you had enough initiative coming from this crazy
situation to work your way so that you're out of
the house independent on your own. I assume, pen your
own bills and shit you and for the rest of
your fucking life, you just have the work ethic you have,
(20:48):
the like you you just for whatever fucking craziness you
came from, right, like, just a hold hold tight on
the fact that the rest you have the potential to
just make a fucking great life for yourself beyond this.
So just do me, So, just do me, do me
a favorite. And I know that you're trying really hard
(21:08):
to keep your family together, and you should keep your
relationship going with the people who you really desire to
keep a relationship going. And I also know and I'm
talking out of my ass, and I have no idea
what I'm doing. But you just I know it's painful.
I know it's so fucking painful to like be a
part of this, and I know it's gonna take a
(21:30):
while to get over that pain and to to fucking
feel that pain. But just on the other side of
that pain is a great life. One day, You'll you'll
fucking meet some someone right, and you'll eventually have kids,
and you'll you'll be able to have the agency to
make a household it's not as fucking crazy as the
(21:50):
one that you grew up in, and you'll be able
to have you have have friends like you just just don't.
I just the worst thing from my perspective that could
happen in this situation is that you spend so much
time trying to fix this thing with your mom that
is unfortunately a lot of it is out of your control,
(22:11):
because if your mom is crazy, your mom is crazy
and that's her own battle. And you've done it sounds
to me like everything that you've fucking done everything you
can to get the family back together. But I would
just hate if you after spending so much time doing that,
we're doing it. We're now in active neglect of your
(22:36):
own life's potential. So again, if I were you, just
salvage the relationships that you if salvage and invest in
the relationships that you can with your sister, with your dad,
with your mom if she comes around, with your other sister,
if she comes around. But don't but focus, take your
focus away from my mom is crazy and this is
(22:59):
the it's your focal point in my life, and just
and just move it good and just like bring it
forward to like what what's going on?
Speaker 7 (23:08):
You know?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Always yeah, my dad always tells me that you need
like as much as you care about me and your sisters,
you have to live your own life. You can't let
us hold you back from living. And I know it's
the truth, and it's I hate to have to come
to terms with it, but it's the truth. And I
can't keep I can't grow if I'm from stuck worrying
(23:29):
about them. That's an issue I have.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
I worry about a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
And here's and here's yeah, go ahead, go ahead, Yeah,
I have.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I have a good support system. I think it's just
like you know, it's just like as an adult, I've
come to realize these patterns that my mom in behavior,
they're not new they've always been like this. They're just
like I notice it more because I'm more self aware.
You know, my mom had me be a I was
a child model, and like, I never saw penny of that,
(23:59):
and like, and I didn't realize that at the time,
but one time my mom tried told me that five
hundred dollars is more than eight hundred dollars. You can
spend three hundred on jewelry.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Listen again, I I would corn, Listen Corn again. I'm
sorry that you should probably go talk to a real
therapist about all this stuff too. But again, what I
really have to say is like, hold down site on
your own fucking life, Okay, try to have something within
the craziness. Hold on tight to the market you're gonna
have You're gonna have a great life. You're gonna raise
(24:36):
you if if it's what you want. I don't know
if it's what you want, but if if, if one
day it's what you want to have your own family
and whatnot, you know you can do that. You can
live a great life. And if you do decide that
you want to have a family in the future, you
can take their asses to UH Universal Studios because it's
(24:56):
it's much better anyway.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, Corn, Yeah, I mean, you're right.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Is there anything else you want to say to the
people of the computer before we go?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
I'm trying to think here, I don't know. I mean,
is is there any like anyone any I don't want
to have a question or anything like that in the
chat or I can answer. I just you know, it's
it's just really I I know I have to love
(25:29):
I love myself more and put the bug good.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
That's what you should do.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
But I just have to accept that part. That's the
hard part I can't accept is that, you know, I
need to stop loving others more than myself.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Good luck, good luck Corn, just again, I'll say it
for the five hundred, for the you know, I don't
know how long I've been a ranting, but just try
try try, try beyond the craziness to find a u
a good path forward for your own life, Okay, and
just try to focus on that shit.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I will, I will. I really appreciate all.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Right, take care of Corn, Bye.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Bye, thank you, bye bye.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I truly do believe that the rides at Universal Studios
are a lot better. What does Universal Studios have? Well,
first of all, Universe Studios have the Mario Ride, which
is good. Actually I didn't like the Mario Ride that much.
Here's the problem with the Mario Ride is that it
was a shooting ride, and it was a three D ride,
(26:31):
but it also had like physical sets, you know, so
like there was too much going on, and I like,
occasionally I would like take my three D glasses off
and have to look around at the physical sets. You
know what, Maybe I'll have a family and abandon them
and become a Universal Studios blogger. That actually that sounds
(26:53):
kind of fun. Hello. Hello, Hey, what's your name?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Anthony?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Anthony? Up? Anthony? How you doing. I'm all right, man,
I'm I'm hanging in there. I'm trying, no, but I'm
figuring it out.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
You know, what's wrong?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
What's wrong? Derek?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh God, I don't want to look. Man. Here's the thing.
I'm I'm I'm just not interested in forwarding out diarrhea
of my life any and in this very moment, in
this very moment, I would prefer actually for you to
(27:35):
diarrhea the what's going on in your life? So please

Speaker 5 (27:44):
I mean, I honestly didn't expect to get on here.
So yeah, I had a topic to talk about, not
really necessarily about my life. I don't know. If you
want to hear about it? Yeah, go ahead, I mean yeah,
I'm kinda ive been interested in bitcoin for a while.
That interests you?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Sure, man, we can talk about.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
What's your what's your opinion on it? I'm sorry? Do
you care opinion at all?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Do I care at all about bitcoin?
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Do I care at all about big?
Speaker 5 (28:18):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (28:19):
What do you think about it?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Do I care it all about bitcoin? Uh? It's a
thing I don't know. Does it do it? Does it
do anything? Can you use it?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Like? Can you like are you saying can you spend
it at a store?
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (28:39):
On Amazon or something?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Oh no, I can't spend on Amazon quite yet.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Okay do you I Do you care about bitcoin?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
I do I do?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Tell me tell me why you care about it me?
Speaker 5 (28:56):
I mean, I'll tell you my story.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Tell me your story, Tell me your story.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Okay. Well, you know, so since I was eighteen, like
in in high school, I was always interested in, like
I got interested in like the stock market and stuff,
you know what I mean? So like that interested me.
I started learning about investing and then kind of go
(29:24):
into like this is pre COVID, So like pre COVID
investing was different, i'd say, right, Like, you learn about
investing and you're like, oh, dividend stocks, Oh, you could
make three cents per share if you buy I don't know,
coke or pepsi or something. This is sounding boring. Sorry,
(29:45):
this isn't this isn't very entertaining.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I guess. I'm here to I am here to listen
to you talk. So dear guys, just go ahead, all right.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Uh yeah, So, you know, start investing in the like
dividend stocks, and I'm like, okay, this is going you know,
I start to build up a little bit of a position,
get a couple like a thousand or two thousand dollars.
I'm eighteen at the time, so like I'm you know,
I'm young. You know, a couple thousands pretty good for me,
I guess. And then COVID hit and like I start
(30:23):
learning about real estate too. I start learning about all
that kind of stuff, like how the market works and
how all of this happens and all of this stuff.
But then COVID kind of changed everything for me and
my like life perspective, I'd say, I as it did
for everybody, because like when you're working hard for your
(30:46):
money and then the government can just print twelve, like
twelve hundred dollars to everybody, that really changed my mindset
and like, I don't know, I'm on more of like
a investing side of the internet. So like you see
the FED chairman go out and say, oh, yeah, we
(31:07):
have unlimited cash to hand out to people that need money.
Well it's like, well, I work for my money. I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
We don't have money printers, we can't just print money.
So yeah, I started looking into money like this this
whole and then I started doing research and then you
find out like, okay, well they say the stimulus check
isn't going to cause inflation, but you know for a
(31:39):
fact it is. And then Drone Pale and all of
these people say, oh, no, inflation, that's not gonna happen,
and then inflation happens, and then they're like, okay, well
inflation is transitory, and then well you're like, well you're
lying because this is a lot of money and slation
(31:59):
is in transitory. It's going to keep happening for years.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
It's okay, you know what, you know what, you know
what you are You're right, this is getting a little boring.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yeah, I kind of figured that's okay.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
But but what do you want to do with all
your money? Man? What do you want to do with it?
What's the point? What's the goal?
Speaker 5 (32:23):
What do I want to So basically a lot of people.
So my perspective is that bitcoin is the new revolution,
the new money of the world. I think it is
the best invention to ever you know, one of the
best inventions ever created. I think the story of bitcoin
(32:43):
is very interesting. I think, yeah, and I think a
lot when I talk to people about it, it's either
something like this, you know, it's boring, my story's boring
about it, whatever, or it's a scam or you know,
and it's like, how do I go about talking to
people about bitcoin? You know? In in a better fact?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Listen, listen man, how old are you?
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Twenty four?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Twenty four? And you wanna what do you want to
do with all your Because here's here's let me tell
you something. One day, one day, you're gonna have a
million dollars, right do you think?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
So?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, one day you're gonna have a million dollars. What
are you gonna do with it? You know what are
you gonna, is it gonna? What are you gonna do?
What do you want to Lambeau? You wanna fucking do nothing?
What do you wanna? What do you wanna do?
Speaker 4 (33:36):
You know?
Speaker 5 (33:36):
I just want to take care of my future family
and stuff. Nothing crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Probably that's pretty good. That's pretty good. All right?
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Well, very boring.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
I'm not I'm not really interesting.
Speaker 8 (33:49):
I mean, it's not the hold on, hold on, hold
on man? Why why don't we don't need to We're
just talking. We don't need to be talking, and also
having hitting ourselves with with judgment calls as to whether
or not we're interesting.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Or boring or you know, we don't have time. That
was being funny. I mean, also it is kind of boring.
But but we we but we can withhold our judgment
calls on ourselves. Okay, And I'm not saying hold on. Sure,
the conversation that we were having was boring, but we don't.
(34:25):
But you, I'm not going I would never say that
you are a boring person. You are not an interesting
person as you as a human being, your essence. I
would never say that, and I wouldn't want you to
say that about yourself. You know, we're just talking. I mean,
we could talk about a billion different things. I'm not
but I don't want you to walk away from this
(34:46):
conversation thinking that you yourself are not are are inherently
not interesting, even if I look, I like talking about
stocks and uh things. You know, maybe it's maybe, but
but in this very moment, perhaps I am not that interesting.
(35:07):
Perhaps you are not that interesting in this very moment.
But we've lived long lives. We're gonna keep living long lives,
will be will be more things at more moments. We
don't have to fucking say that we're one thing forever
and in the future and forever in the past, you
know what I mean. So yeah, that's that's that's that's
(35:28):
my takeaway from this conversation about bitcoin is don't beat you.
Don't beat yourself up about it.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Man.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You're You're plenty interesting. You're a human being alive on
the ear. You're the fact that you are our conscious
being is is an insane thing. So just keep being
that and you're inherently interesting and whatever you do on
top of that is interesting.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
You know what, I think You're just I really, to
be honest, I think you're just saying a bunch of
words to get me off the call. I think that's
where this is geting.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Event well, yeah, eventually, yeah, we'll have to end the call.
But but I you do you think I don't mean
the things I'm saying to you right now?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
I mean, not necessarily, no, honestly, No, you.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Mean you know, as in you believe no isn' you
think I don't believe them? And no is in you what?
Speaker 5 (36:27):
I don't think you're believe. I don't think you believe
the words that you say.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Well, you know what I do right now. And if
you if you don't want to, if you don't want
to believe them, that's on you. But I believe them.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
Okay, all right man?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
What's what's your name again?
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Anthony?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Anthony Anthony? I sincerely, No, I'm not. I'm not religious
really why, I don't know. I grew up a little religious.
Are you religious?
Speaker 7 (36:56):
Recently?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
I've been getting religious?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah, into Jesus.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Yeah, I've actually I actually just got baptized on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Well good actually, good man, listen. Here's the thing is
I I I say again, on here?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Do you talk about it? On here?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Do I talk about what?
Speaker 6 (37:15):
On here?
Speaker 5 (37:16):
Religion?
Speaker 1 (37:18):
So sometimes sometimes Okay, I genuine and you know what,
this is the last thing I'm gonna say because I
believe these things I'm saying, and I'm gonna say them
to you. In finality, I genuinely believe You're gonna make
a million dollars. Jesus is gonna guide you. You think
I'm fucking lying to you. I'm being one hundred and series.
(37:38):
You're gonna make a million dollars, You're gonna find a
beautiful wife, You're gonna have children. You're gonna long forget
when you're like forty five years old and you have
a beautiful wife and children and you're taking them to
church and you have a bunch of money. You it'll
have been forty it'll have been twenty years since you
even ever thought about this phone call. And you're gonna
(38:02):
do that. I don't I don't know what I'm going
to be doing, but I just know in my gut
you're going to be living a happy and nice life.
And you think I'm just saying and you think I'm
just saying this to you to get you off the phone.
I'm going to get you off the phone just because
I am. But you but you think I'm fucking bullshitting you,
and I I mean what I'm saying one hundred percent.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
Okay, I'm I don't.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
I don't think I'm look, I started getting into bitcoin
because of the money.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
I think it's bigger than just the money. I think
it's about the whole system of government. You know, people
you know on the left, they say it's because of capitalism.
You know, I don't. I think that the Fiat currency
system is the problem. So like when you say, oh,
I'm going to make a million dollars, I don't really
(38:55):
have that exact perspective, you know what I mean, Like,
I don't look at the world through a dollar perspective.
If that makes.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Sense, it does make sense that at the world, no,
you look at I I get it, you, I get it.
You think in terms of value, now, not in terms
of dollars because of because I understand. But but you
hold on, you're getting lost. But you're getting lost in
the semantics. You will have a million, you will have
(39:23):
whatever the equivalent of a million dollars is, but it's
not gonna matter. What's gonna matter is you're gonna have
a wife and children and Jesus and that's gonna guide
you through this insane experience of being alive. And that's
what that's what I have to say to you. And
I'm I'm extremely happy for you. I think you're gonna
be I think you're gonna fucking blow it out of
(39:44):
the water. And you really do think I'm being facetious
right now, And I just swear on my child's life
that I'm not. No, I'm swearing on my first child's life.
I'm not being facetious about any the things I'm saying
to you. I I think you're gonna have a good
life because you're guided. But you seem sane. I mean
(40:07):
that in my God, that's how you feel as you
feel easy.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Yeah, we're going to end the call, but I really
last thing I'm gonna say, okay, is it's about you know,
religion and Jesus. And if you're you care about the
truth in life, you know you want truth, I would
say really historical from historical evidence. You know, ask yourself these.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Questions, there's no fucking truth, Anthony, that there's no fucking truth.
There's your truth, there's my truth, there's eight billion truths.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
That's not the perspective I have, but I'm believing.
Speaker 9 (40:41):
No exactly, that's what hold on what you Anthony, What
you just said proves my point.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
That is not the perspective that you have. We have
two different perspectives. We have two different truths.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
It's not necessarily because Okay, say you don't believe in
God and I do, and Jesus is real and God
is real, and you think that when you die you
just go into the ground and you become a fertilizer.
But that's not true. There is one truth, you know
(41:14):
what I mean? Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Look right, the sky is blue. But if I say
it's green, that's my vote in reality. And reality is reality.
What is truth?
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Truth is what the truth is. It's it's the fact God.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
You're gonna have such an awesome life. I really believe
that you're gonna have such an I really believe.
Speaker 7 (41:49):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
You're gonna have an awesome life for multiple I just
you're gonna have it. Also, life for multiple reasons is
one You're gonna find some other super Christian lady and
you guys are gonna start a Christian household. Your life
is gonna have direction, to it, guided by Jesus and God.
You're gonna raise Christian children, You're gonna get involved in
(42:13):
the church community. You're gonna make smart financial decisions and
be able to send your kids to You're gonna have
a great life, Anthony.
Speaker 5 (42:22):
Did I appreciate that way?
Speaker 1 (42:23):
I believe. I don't know what's gonna I don't know.
I don't know what's gonna happen. Then maybe I know
you're gonna have a great life. And I fully and
we I you have your own truth. That's what's exciting
to me about your life is that you have your
own truth. I have my I'm sort of searching for
a little for some version of truth right now. But
(42:47):
you have your own truth. That's great. I'm excited for you.
And I swear on on the future of of not
only America, but also of the the the you a e.
I swear on the future of the of of Saint Lucia.
I swear on the future of the state of Montana.
(43:10):
And I swear on my cousin's life that you're gonna
have a great life because I believe in it so heavily.
And you think I'm being facetious, but I'm not. I
was not you know what, Yeah, go ahead, you have
all right, go ahead, you have something else.
Speaker 5 (43:30):
Well, I was just gonna go back to the three questions.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
I'm not gonna I'm gonna end it before you get
into the three questions. But I because we're gonna go
in circles. But Anthony, I love you so much, Anthony.
I love you so much. You're gonna have a great life,
and I will see you hopefully, hopefully. Anthony.
Speaker 9 (43:50):
If there is one truth, if there is, Anthony, Anthony,
shut the fuck up, Anthony. If there's one truth, Anthony,
shut up for a second. I hope there is one truth,
and that I see you in heaven and I will
talk to you around. I will, Actually I'll probably never
talk to you again. But I think you will have
an awesome life, and I love you very much, and
I'll see you around, hopefully we will.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
I'll see you in heaven. Okay, I'm gonna hang up
on you. Bye. That was Anthony. I know we're gonna
get I've a whole lot a few things to clear up.
I know we're gonna get a ton of negative comments
about Anthony, and I will defend him against all of
those negative comments because I believed it deeply in what
(44:34):
I said to him just now. I believe he's gonna
have a good life, He's gonna raise nice children. He'll
never understand. I don't think can I say, can I
share something? Maybe it's a little bit depressing. But I
saw a comment on the internet, which is where I
(44:55):
go to receive all of my best information. I saw
a comment on Reddit. If ignorance is bliss, is clarity misery?
I think I don't want to say that Anthony is ignorant.
I actually take that back, but I don't. I think
(45:16):
in Anthony's belief he finds meaning and happiness.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
And I I think he's going to have a good
life because of that. And I think that because he's
gonna he I think he'll be fine. I just think
he'll be okay. I mean everything I said, I even
I and I swear that I mean everything I said
on the State of Montana and on the UAE and
on Yeah, he'll be fine. He'll be fine. You'll be fine.
(45:48):
Go if you're thinking about writing some fucking comment, you can,
but you'll be fine, and he'll be fine, and everything
will be fine.
Speaker 5 (45:57):

It can be if you want to know where trash

Speaker 7 (47:22):
Not much. I actually wasn't even expecting to get through.
It's been uh, I don't know, an easy day.
Speaker 4 (47:28):
I figured be fun just to shoot the ships all
you're streaming and uh so you just got back from
Japan and I did welcome back to the States.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
I guess, thanks buddy. Well, uh, let's see, let's see,
let's see what get what gives you, uh a meaning
in life? Joe? Why do you wake up in the
morning and do anything?
Speaker 4 (47:55):
Well, these days I just had it feels like just yesterday.
But I've got a two year old at home now,
and that's that's quite bizarre.
Speaker 5 (48:07):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (48:08):
You know, I think about a year ago, I had.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
Been reaching out to you as I've been processing a lot.
You know, you have a kid, and suddenly everything feels
like it changes in terms of priorities.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (48:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (48:22):
What you do is it's like so more often these
days it's you get up and you do this. You
do your job because well you have to, not necessarily because.
Speaker 7 (48:33):
You like it.
Speaker 4 (48:34):
I felt like in my twenties I could just kind
of fuck around and.
Speaker 7 (48:37):
I didn't make money.
Speaker 4 (48:38):
It was just me. You know, it wasn't really high
high stakes. You know, now there's a there's a being
that actually.
Speaker 7 (48:45):
Depends on me. So it's you know, sometimes.
Speaker 4 (48:47):
You put up with more things that than than you
probably would have when it was just you.
Speaker 7 (48:52):
Mm hmm, yeah, mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (48:59):
But y know, this.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
Having so goddamn, let's see, like ten years ago, what
year is this, twenty twenty, fifteen years ago? Holy shit,
fifteen years ago when I started studying oceanography, my mom
(49:23):
had died, and you know, I kind of went into
this phase of just kind of like putting my head down.
Speaker 7 (49:28):
And doing work, and then it was more trying to travel.
Speaker 4 (49:34):
And you know, kind of figure out what what the
hell this whole thing is that I'm living. And I
don't know, I can't believe, well, I can't even believe fifteen.
Speaker 7 (49:47):
Years is gone by to get to this point.
Speaker 4 (49:50):
But I moved around a lot, like basically evorite two years,
went to another state, tried another job. You know, I
just really partner got pregnant and have we had to
figure out O.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
Sorry you cut out after you said that you moved
states every two years.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (50:08):
No, so it's just after after a while of doing that,
my partner got pregnant and we had to figure out
how we were going to accommodate, you know, another person.
Speaker 7 (50:18):
We had been living like in.
Speaker 4 (50:20):
A little five hundred square foot apartment with a dog
and a cat already, and it was like, you can't
it was I don't know it just didn't seem like
it was going to be a nice, comfortable space to
have a family, and so we ended up.
Speaker 7 (50:34):
Moving to a very rural area. This is not like
a lot to do, but I don't know.
Speaker 4 (50:43):
It just opened up some opportunities since folks were getting
more comfortable with like remote work, started working for myself
and just doing consulting and other things on the side,
and eventually became enough to keep it going. But but now,
you know, with with kid being here, it's you start
taking jobs that necessary. You know, years ago I would
(51:04):
have turned down.
Speaker 7 (51:05):
But now you just kind of do them because.
Speaker 4 (51:08):
Well it's work, not necessarily supposed to enjoy it, but
you need to keep the you know, keep the beasts fed.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
I guess, right, right, right, right, yeah? I mean, how
how old are you now?
Speaker 7 (51:22):
I am thirty four?
Speaker 1 (51:24):
And how do you feel about life compared to when
you were in your twenties? Do you feel better about it?
Do you feel worse about it? Do feel thinking about it?
Speaker 7 (51:32):
Way better?
Speaker 1 (51:33):
Way better?
Speaker 4 (51:33):
I mean, I was just I don't know, shoving a
lot of shit down in my twenties, and it is
just like I think the moving was just like running constantly,
just not really wanting to process deaths in my family
and all that.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
M yeah, what what do you feel like you were
running from?
Speaker 4 (51:55):
I suppose, well, uh, and so, I mean my mom
had shot herself and I was trying to understand, you know,
where that capacity to do something like that came from.
And I'd have nights, you know, I ended up, you know,
(52:17):
smoking weed a lot, and I sort of have problems
with alcohol a little bit and kind of kind of
went through these like sort of roller coaster phases of
like now I'm gonna be clean and sober, and sometimes
I was like, ah, fuck it all who cares? And
I think, but there was a lot a lot of
times when I was in those like those those darker phases,
(52:39):
it was just thinking about where.
Speaker 7 (52:43):
Where that capacity comes from. Is that like a genetic thing?
Is it? Is it you know, is it really brain.
Speaker 4 (52:48):
Chemistry or or there was there just like a certain
set of circumstances that that drove her to that. And
you know what, it didn't help that, you know, three
to four years after that, my uncle did the same
thing on my dad's side. So it's like, Okay, now
I got two sides of the family that are often
themselves for well, you know whatever reason, which and I
(53:10):
don't think I really ever got a straight answer from
folks about like what was really going on, because like
a lot of the family just doesn't want to talk
about it. But yeah, there's there was a lot of
processing of death in my twenties that I didn't think
i'd have to confront that young.
Speaker 7 (53:28):
And uh, you know.
Speaker 4 (53:32):
That I did start going to therapy and really digging
into that, and that was that was actually kind of
hard to talk about.
Speaker 7 (53:42):
That first. Now mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
So what's uh, what's what's giving you life now? What's
what's making you feel better now?
Speaker 7 (53:53):
Well? Uh, I like.
Speaker 4 (53:57):
That I've got a house that I I can't it's
I know, it's a very hard thing to get to
these days, but it's something you know, I don't I
don't own it yet. I'm paying a mortgage, but I've
got something. I've got land enough to where I can
spend time out in the yard my partner and in
the kiddo and where you know, starting a garden and
(54:21):
that's growing. I can kind of I can get up
and work really flexible schedules.
Speaker 7 (54:29):
I think I'm very.
Speaker 4 (54:29):
Blessed that that situation ended up working out pretty good.
I like throwing pottery that that's been neat getting into it.
I didn't realize that when I moved to where I
moved to. But there's a really cool pottery tradition in
this area. People doing wood firing and digging up their
(54:51):
own clay, and it's it's pretty neat.
Speaker 1 (54:53):
Mm hmm hmm. What part of what part of the
town are you in?
Speaker 5 (54:59):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (55:00):
Western North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
Western North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (55:04):
Pretty yeah, so not not not Ashville, but it's uh,
you know, something a little bit more affordable.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
I've heard Ashville is like the a crazy like a
hippie place. Now it is.
Speaker 4 (55:18):
And I know, I went there like ten years ago
and it was pretty cool, and then I went there
two years ago and the street smelled like piss.
Speaker 1 (55:26):
They got they got hit pretty hard with some natural disasters,
didn't they.
Speaker 7 (55:31):
Uh yeah last fall Helene.
Speaker 4 (55:33):
Yeah yeah, their whole water system got knocked out out there.
I actually have a cousin out there and she's still
getting you know, I don't want.
Speaker 7 (55:44):
To say ration to water, but they got to go
with the drugs to a truck and get fresh water.
Speaker 3 (55:49):
Mmmmm yeah.
Speaker 7 (55:51):
It's pretty rough.
Speaker 1 (55:52):
Have you been no, I don't think I've been, although
I'd like to do a show there at some point.
I'm sure that there's listeners of this podcast that live there. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (56:01):
Yeah, I mean you've been to Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (56:02):
But yeah, going from Asheville to Charlotte, you know that's
a two hour drive. Yeah, for for folks coming further last.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
Yeah, well, let's see, Uh, John, let me let me
let me see if the chat has any questions for you, Mabe,
let's see, is the chat of any questions for John?

ever made.
Speaker 7 (56:35):
Yeah, man, it's the ship.
Speaker 4 (56:36):
It's like, I don't know, once you get some of
the frustrating parts out, it's it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (56:44):
Someone said.
Speaker 1 (56:47):
Someone said, are there any UFOs in the sea?
Speaker 7 (56:51):
Are there?
Speaker 4 (56:51):
You know, so they're u s O s Unidentified submerged objects?
Speaker 7 (56:58):
Man, I don't. I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 4 (57:01):
I tend not to look at that kind of stuff.
Speaker 7 (57:03):
I'm it's weird.
Speaker 4 (57:05):
I'm an oceanographer, but I sit behind the computer most
of the time. It's all, you know, ocean forecasting and
that kind of ship. My wife used to go out
to see she she did the real she'd be able
to tell you, but she's actually doing a job interview
right now.
Speaker 1 (57:18):
So nice. Nice see. Someone wants to know, what do
what do you think of the evolution of the Kelvin
waves in the Southeastern US in the past fifty years?
Speaker 4 (57:34):

I mean, aren't Calvin waves.
Speaker 7 (57:45):
All fuck?
Speaker 1 (57:45):
They fucking got you, bro, they got you, they got well.
Speaker 7 (57:49):
Kelvin waves are high frequencies.
Speaker 4 (57:50):
I don't know what they mean by evolution of Kelvin
waves in the Southeast. I don't know what it was there.
Maybe ask them if there's.
Speaker 1 (57:58):
Maybe they're just trolling the Someone wants to know, do
you do you do you?
Speaker 7 (58:02):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (58:05):
Do you scuba?
Speaker 7 (58:07):

Speaker 4 (58:09):
No?
Speaker 5 (58:09):
No?
Speaker 7 (58:09):
I went for my shirt in grad school and then.
Speaker 4 (58:13):
Never used it and I just fell out of it.
Speaker 1 (58:16):
Yeah, it's funny because your connection kind of sounds like
you're calling me from under the sea.
Speaker 7 (58:23):
No man, I'm in I'm in rural North Carolina. The
cell services kind of this year.
Speaker 1 (58:29):
Uh Okay. Then finally, what someone wants to say, do
you know doctor Jeffrey Agnew.
Speaker 4 (58:36):
Agnew Agnew like Spiro Agnew, the dudes.
Speaker 7 (58:41):
Who worked with Nixon. No doctor Jeffrey.
Speaker 1 (58:48):
Well let's see John John. I want to keep talking
to you, but your connection has kind of been a
little shitty. But uh it's it's great. Oh wait, okay,
we have one mark. We actually we have a couple
of questions. I kind of want to ask. See here,
what's your favorite fish?
Speaker 7 (59:04):
Favorite fish?
Speaker 4 (59:06):
I like flounders because they got two heads on, two
eyes on one side of their body.
Speaker 7 (59:12):
They're fucking weird.
Speaker 4 (59:15):
That that or if you haven't seen them.
Speaker 6 (59:17):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (59:18):
Some people call them sunfish. Other people call them mullah mullahs.
Speaker 4 (59:23):
They look like a fish that got cut in half
but is still living.
Speaker 7 (59:26):
It's they're weird. I like weird things.
Speaker 1 (59:31):
Uh. Where is the biggest trash island? And can we
live on that?
Speaker 7 (59:39):
Can you live on? I mean you, no one, no
one can stop you. I think some billionaires were trying
to like do this.
Speaker 4 (59:47):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (59:47):
I think the biggest one is still in the Pacific.
Most of the stuff I'm looking at they are though.
Speaker 4 (59:54):
And this is just to explain my potential ignorance if
there's a bigger one than in the Pacific.
Speaker 7 (59:59):
But I'm and the north of Europe around English Journal
and all that near civilization.
Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
But yeah, I think the Pacific is the biggest one
and then the most disgusting.
Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Well let's see, John, I think, yeah, your phone is bad,
but you're a good guy and that's all that matters.
Is there anything else? Thanks man? Is there anything else
you want to say to the people of the computer
before we go?
Speaker 4 (01:00:28):
Uh no, no, throw some pots?
Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
