SPEAKER_04
Rock and roll.
0
SPEAKER_04
Well, what s going on, man?
0
SPEAKER_01
How can I geck you today?
0
SPEAKER_04
Um, I was, I was in the, uh, in the Burger King drive-thru as one does.
0
SPEAKER_04
And this was later at night is about maybe 30, 40 degrees out.
0
SPEAKER_04
And there was a, um, uh, homeless fellow that was under the, you know, like, uh, in front of a Welch Fargo sometimes.
0
SPEAKER_04
So they have like an overhang on the curb.
0
SPEAKER_04
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_04
Uh, he was under the overhang and he had a fire going and
0
SPEAKER_04
It seemed like the fire was contained, but I was worried about like, I don t know, like the ashes or like that spark coming up, touching the building on fire.
0
SPEAKER_01
Please don t tell me that you went up to a homeless man and just put out his fire.
0
SPEAKER_04
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
0
SPEAKER_04
I would never do.
0
SPEAKER_04
I would never do something like that.
0
SPEAKER_01
OK, that s what it sounds like you were going to do.
0
SPEAKER_04
Sorry.
0
SPEAKER_01
Just to be a dick.
0
SPEAKER_01
Just to be a dick, and then you yell at him about how it s bad for the environment.
0
SPEAKER_01
That d be sick.
0
SPEAKER_01
Alright, anyway.
0
SPEAKER_01
Okay, so what happens?
0
SPEAKER_04
Oh, sorry, that s fucking funny, no.
0
SPEAKER_04
So, I ended up, I wasn t sure what to do, so I looked up what to do, and there s a couple sources that said, like, if there s a fire in a place that there shouldn t be a fire, that you should just call the fire department, and so I did.
0
SPEAKER_04
The fire department, that s just like almost just as fucking bad And that s what I was scared about is I don t know if I did the right thing or not because I just didn t want anybody to get hurt Okay, so you called the fire department and then you left?
0
SPEAKER_04
And then I left yeah, well I was still in the drive-thru.
0
SPEAKER_04
I was stuck in the drive-thru They were right around the corner.
0
SPEAKER_04
I guess they got there within a couple minutes and
0
SPEAKER_01
Did you see what happened?
0
SPEAKER_01
Did the fire, did they come?
0
SPEAKER_04
I did, I did.
0
SPEAKER_04
They showed up and they just kind of talked to him and they didn t kick him out, but they did have to put his fire out because it was a hazard.
0
SPEAKER_01
Was there a moment where you were sitting in the Burger King drive-thru and you were watching the firefighters talk to the guy and the guy looked upset and then the firefighters pointed and the guys said something to you and the firefighters pointed at you and then you had to duck down in your car?
0
SPEAKER_04
No, there was nothing like that.
0
SPEAKER_04
They didn t implicate me.
0
SPEAKER_04
Um, they were actually on the other side of the vehicle.
0
SPEAKER_04
So I didn t really see what happened.
0
SPEAKER_04
It s like the fire truck was blocking it, but I did go up and I, I had a five in my wallet.
0
SPEAKER_04
That s all I had in my wallet.
0
SPEAKER_04
Uh, and I gave it to the guy cause I did feel bad and I offered him my food.
0
SPEAKER_04
Um, he ended up taking me up on the offer and I I m happy I was able to help.
0
SPEAKER_04
I m just,
0
SPEAKER_04
I m not sure if I did the right thing in calling just because I didn t want, I didn t want a building to burn down.
0
SPEAKER_01
I mean, I guess that s better than calling the cops on somebody.
0
SPEAKER_04
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_04
I didn t want to get the police involved because, you know, I mean, I feel bad for the guys just down on this luck.
0
SPEAKER_04
Didn t seem to be doing drugs or anything.
0
SPEAKER_04
Just trying to get through it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Hmm.
0
SPEAKER_00
That would suck if the fire.
0
SPEAKER_00
Did you work?
0
SPEAKER_00
Go ahead.
0
SPEAKER_04
Oh, yeah, I m sorry.
0
SPEAKER_04
Did I do the right thing?
0
SPEAKER_04
Like I don t necessarily think I did the wrong thing, but was it the best thing I could have done?
0
SPEAKER_01
Hmm.
0
SPEAKER_01
You know here s the thing I genuinely Genuinely, I I don t want to answer this because I feel like I would tell you okay Like my gut reaction is to tell you that it was kind of stupid to file to call the firefighters on that guy But then a small part of me thinks if I saw the fire I might Be wrong how far how big was this fucking fire?
0
SPEAKER_04
It was
0
SPEAKER_04
It looked like he had a couple of logs burning, like small logs, maybe a foot long and, you know, quarter cut.
0
SPEAKER_04
So it was the fire, the flames are coming up a couple of feet.
0
SPEAKER_04
It wasn t small by any means, not like a little camp stove.
0
SPEAKER_01
Well, also, I mean, look, worst case scenario, Wells Fargo burns down.
0
SPEAKER_01
That s not that big of a deal.
0
SPEAKER_04
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
Think about it like this.
0
SPEAKER_01
Actually, no, I think you did the wrong thing.
0
SPEAKER_01
I think you A, should have, I think A, you shouldn t have called the cops on that guy or you shouldn t call the firefighter on the guy.
0
SPEAKER_01
And B, even if the bank burned down, that d be a good thing because first of all, it would make everybody s money worth more.
0
SPEAKER_01
Like, you would be contributing to- burning down banks contributes to fighting inflation.
0
SPEAKER_01
So you would have been doing a favor not only for that guy, but for the national economy as a whole.
0
SPEAKER_01
So I would say, you know, whatever.
0
SPEAKER_01
What s done is done.
0
SPEAKER_01
But next time you see a guy setting fire to a bank, just, you know, eat your french fries and mind your own business.
0
SPEAKER_04
Yeah, absolutely.
0
SPEAKER_04
I just, I couldn t figure it out whether I d done the right thing or not, so I m glad I got a second opinion on it.
0
SPEAKER_04
Thank you.
0
SPEAKER_01
Is there anything else you want to say to the people at the computer before we go, Parker?
0
SPEAKER_04

0
SPEAKER_01

0
SPEAKER_03
Is this Lyle?
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, is this Landon?
0
SPEAKER_03
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_03
Oh my gosh.
0
SPEAKER_01
Have we ever spoken before, Landon?
0
SPEAKER_03
No, we haven t.
0
SPEAKER_03
This is my first time.
0
SPEAKER_01
Awesome, man.
0
SPEAKER_01
Well, good to talk to you.
0
SPEAKER_01
What s going on with you tonight?
0
SPEAKER_03
Well, um...
0
SPEAKER_03
I ve tried to get in to the stream before, um, but, uh, to no avail until today.
0
SPEAKER_03
So, um, I had an idea of, or more of a problem, um, that I thought I could, um, get some better advice from, uh, the one and only Lyle.
0
SPEAKER_01
So smack me in the face with your dick.
0
SPEAKER_01
Let s do it.
0
SPEAKER_03
Okay.
0
SPEAKER_03
Um,
0
SPEAKER_03
Basically, um, I would like to talk about, uh, um, my, I, I m starting to develop a problem, um, where I have an interest in, uh, furry girls and how this has caused problems in, um, where I ve grown up and, uh, what it s really making me out to be and how this is interacting with my life.
0
SPEAKER_03
Um,
0
SPEAKER_03
And I thought I d like to talk about that.
0
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
0
SPEAKER_01
Um, how long have you been attracted to furry women?
0
SPEAKER_01
Wait, when you mean furry women, do you mean like women with hair or like women in the furry subculture?
0
SPEAKER_03
Um, women in fursuits.
0
SPEAKER_01
All right.
0
SPEAKER_01
Tell me more.
0
SPEAKER_03
Um, for context, um,
0
SPEAKER_03
I, I really, I really, um, only believe this, um, through in a way of, uh, it s not an, it s a required thing, but I find a particular attraction in, uh, um, women that are like, you know, physically attractive and also, um, in that subculture as well.
0
SPEAKER_03
There are just certain individuals that I ve,
0
SPEAKER_01
Listen man, before you go any further I just want you to know everyone watched the original Space Jam movie and there is a spectrum of
0
SPEAKER_01
I would say, of how horny you got as a kid when you saw Lola Bunny.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I would say most people are farther to the right side of that spectrum than they re willing to admit.
0
SPEAKER_01
So you re not as lonely in this as you may think you are.
0
SPEAKER_03
I think you make a wonderful point.
0
SPEAKER_03
In elaboration, I mean this in the most – I think this is a – it s not like a – I don t find it a problem within myself.
1
SPEAKER_01
problem and how it interacts with my lifestyle.
1
SPEAKER_01
I personally am not a member of that subculture and I really don t know how willing I am to participate in it.
1
SPEAKER_01
That being said, I ve had friends who are in that subculture and I m very open-minded about it and I don t think that this attraction of mine is the most unhealthy thing, but it s
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, in terms of where it is causing problems is, um, I think there s a part of me that believes that a lot of my friends and family, um, can never know this because there s a lot of misconception around it.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I don t think that they would hear me out too much.
1
SPEAKER_01
Some of my friends do, but there s just a part of me believes that it s more, um, it s more of just.
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, they believe that I m just acclimating them for me, like that I m holding something bagged or something that it was within me that I m not telling them.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m just acclimating them to it.
1
SPEAKER_01
And which really isn t true, but I don t understand.
1
SPEAKER_00
You just told me that you have a lot of friends in the subculture already.
1
SPEAKER_01
I ve met a few, but.
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t really keep up with them, if that makes sense.
1
SPEAKER_01
I didn t mean to be confusing, but... Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
Why do you sound like you re from the South?
1
SPEAKER_00
Are you from the South?
1
SPEAKER_01
Yes, I m from Appalachia.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
Are you from like one of the cool Southern coffee shop South places or like, you know, the real ones?
1
SPEAKER_01
I grew up in the Southern East Coast.
1
SPEAKER_01
So that s like more alongside the Deep South.
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, there are no more of like a small town, you know, economic depression.
1
SPEAKER_01
Uh, uh, you know, there s a dollar general every 10 miles kind of sell.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
How old are you landed?
1
SPEAKER_00
I m 20 years old.
1
SPEAKER_00
All right.
1
SPEAKER_00
Um, and, and this is a recent development in your taste.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
1
SPEAKER_01
When I think.
1
SPEAKER_01
To answer your question, yes, this is more of like I ve never been more open about it until as of right now.
1
SPEAKER_01
But when I think back on it, I kind of grew up on some material that may have introduced me to this realization.
1
SPEAKER_01
But of course, I was a child at the time, and I was younger.
1
SPEAKER_00
And as I said, we all have Space Jam.
1
SPEAKER_00
But what was yours?
1
SPEAKER_01
Right.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, wow.
1
SPEAKER_01
Back then, I think it was... I think it was Five Nights at Freddy s.
1
SPEAKER_01
Like, honestly.
1
SPEAKER_01
as weird as that is.
1
SPEAKER_01
You re fucking with me.
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, no, no, that s I, yeah, I m, I m fucking with you.
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, no, it was, you re right.
1
SPEAKER_01
I think, are you fucking?
1
SPEAKER_00
Hold on, hold on land.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m actually, I m about to kick your ass right now.
1
SPEAKER_00
Are you fucking with me about the whole thing?
1
SPEAKER_01
No.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh no, no, no, no.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
All right.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was about to get really upset.
1
SPEAKER_01
No, that was just, no, I just wanted to, no, no.
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, honestly,
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, this realization came to me, um, actually kind of recently.
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, have you seen the new Puss in Boots movie?
1
SPEAKER_01
I have not.
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, there s a character in the movie.
1
SPEAKER_01
His name is Death and he is a wolf character.
1
SPEAKER_01
He s obviously, um, um, he s, his character is based around the Grim Reaper.
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, um,
1
SPEAKER_01
I have this weird, but ever-so-subtle attraction to him, and I m straight.
1
SPEAKER_01
But I mean that in, like, aesthetic terms.
1
SPEAKER_00
See, I don t know whether to believe you or not now, because you said Five Nights at Freddy s, like, oh, that s a joke.
1
SPEAKER_00
I would never be into, like, that was, like, your bar for ridiculousness.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I don t think that, uh, the cat from Puss in Boots is significantly less ridiculous that it would be a joke.
1
SPEAKER_00
Do you see what I m saying?
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, well, I m the, no, I m being 100% serious with you.
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, uh, the character death from Puss in Boots, honestly, like, like, uh, I m a little nervous.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m sorry.
1
SPEAKER_01
Um,
1
SPEAKER_01
This is just something I don t normally talk about.
1
SPEAKER_01
But, uh, um, honestly, um, it, like I said, this came to me very recently.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_00
When I was a kid, I used to think, um, I mean, I can name five hot animal characters right now.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let s go Rouge, the bat Lola bunny.
1
SPEAKER_00
Um, give me some more, uh, the fish from shark tales, the girl.
1
SPEAKER_00
Um, give me some more.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let s see.
1
SPEAKER_00
Who do you, what do you, what do you think about, who do you think, who, who, who s, who s, who s on your list?
1
SPEAKER_01
Um, honestly.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if this counts, but I think Sally from Cars, the car, is kind of hot.
1
SPEAKER_01
Like... Like, the car?
1
SPEAKER_00
Landon, I think that you should be... I mean, what... I mean, listen, Landon, for... Okay, well, are you serious?
1
SPEAKER_00
Are you being serious?
1
SPEAKER_01
The finance-afraid thing was 100% a joke.
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_01
No, there s, this is actually a problem.
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay, you ve betrayed my trust for a moment.
1
SPEAKER_01
Lyle, that would probably be the last thing I would want to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, all right, then I m going to tell you this, Landon.
1
SPEAKER_00
All right, you re 20, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
All right, what s your plan?
1
SPEAKER_00
Are you in college?
1
SPEAKER_00
Are you in trade school?
1
SPEAKER_00
Are you jacking off?
1
SPEAKER_00
What are you doing?
1
SPEAKER_01
I am in college.
1
SPEAKER_01
My plans post-college are probably to work in the government.
1
SPEAKER_01
I m in the criminal justice and cybersecurity program at my school.
1
SPEAKER_01
Maybe the military, I m not sure.
1
SPEAKER_01
But one or the other.
1
SPEAKER_01
This is kind of, this really hasn t gone outside of my friend circle, if that makes sense.
1
SPEAKER_01
So.
1
SPEAKER_00
Um, look, Landon, I mean, look, I m a big fan of like, I mean, so what if you like to, you know, fuck girls in fursuits?
1

You re not hurt.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re not hurting anyone.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re not, you re really, you re not doing anything.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a very, um, docile thing that you re talking about.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I mean, look, everyone hates furries for some reason, probably because they re insecure and whatever.
1
SPEAKER_00
So like, you know, who cares?
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, other people s insecurities about your sexual interests are not your problem.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, you only have like, you really have, I mean, when you look at how long life is, it s about five minutes long.

2
SPEAKER_00
I ve actually seen your YouTube videos where you ve been to Las Vegas and I m disappointed that I never ran into you where I live.

2
SPEAKER_02
Thank you, Tiffany.
2
SPEAKER_02
You know what, Tiffany?
2
SPEAKER_02
Honestly, um, you know, you asked me how I was doing I was I honest and when you said that I was like I kind of feel like shit But you ve been so nice to me over the past 30 seconds that I feel a little bit better.
2
SPEAKER_02
So If we were to do analytics on who s given who more therapy over this call you would you would beat me out I Really do appreciate it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Um, I do I used to work in call centers and
2
SPEAKER_00
And a lot of people treat call center people like we re the DMV or the government.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I m more of a type of person who loves to give personal connections.
2
SPEAKER_00
And if I could put a smile on someone s face, it s the greatest gift you can give anyone.
2
SPEAKER_02
Well, you you you you crawled up my I m wagging my gecko tail as we speak.
2
SPEAKER_00
Oh, my God.
2
SPEAKER_00
I tell my daughter that you re the cousin of the gecko from Frozen.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, in the second movie, there s this dark blue, bluish, and he turns into fire when he gets upset.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so I tell my daughter, oh, that s his cousin.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, when I get upset, I, um...
2
SPEAKER_02
I microwave ramen and I eat it.
2
SPEAKER_02
But they wouldn t make a whole scene in Frozen where the lizard microwaves ramen and eats it, because that probably... If people went to a theater and they saw that, they d be like, what?
2
SPEAKER_00
I would watch it.
2
SPEAKER_00
I watch two Muckbangers.
2
SPEAKER_00
Is that terrible of me?
2
SPEAKER_00
Muckbangers?
2
SPEAKER_00
I have to watch them to eat.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I have to watch people eat food in order to eat.
2
SPEAKER_00
Really?
2
SPEAKER_00
Because I have eating issues.
2
SPEAKER_02
What is that?
2
SPEAKER_02
Do you know that guy, Nick Avocado?
2
SPEAKER_02
That s the guy that I know.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yes, I know him, but I don t watch him.
2
SPEAKER_00
I watch someone else.
2
SPEAKER_00
One YouTuber is a competitive eater, and the other one is actually based off in North Korea.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, not North Korea.
2
SPEAKER_00
South Korea.
2
SPEAKER_00
You can t get in North Korea.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m sorry.
2
SPEAKER_00
South Korea.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, yeah, it s fun watching people.
2
SPEAKER_02
You know, it s always you know, it s so annoying as a fat guy is seeing like competitive Or like YouTube eater people.
2
SPEAKER_02
They re all fucking scamming Nick avocados not but the rest they re all skinny all these fucking Mukbang people it s like it s it s it makes me jealous that people have like these great metabolisms.
2
SPEAKER_02
I mean, I don t know what their organs look like but Crazy
2
SPEAKER_00
The one in UK, he actually works out every single day, and the only time that he eats is when he does his mukbang videos on YouTube.
2
SPEAKER_00
So he s dedicated.
2
SPEAKER_00
So at least he goes a healthy route, and that s why I watch him, because he s not gorging himself.
2
SPEAKER_00
He actually is very subconscious about what he puts into a system, and he knows how much calories he puts into a system, so he works it all out.
2
SPEAKER_02
No, that sounds boring.
2
SPEAKER_02
I want to watch someone destroy their life.
2
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, that sounds boring.
2
SPEAKER_02
I want to watch somebody try to run away from demons with Sour Patch Kids.
2
SPEAKER_02
I need to see myself in the YouTubers I follow.
3
SPEAKER_01
Anyway, Tiffany, is there anything in particular that you wanted to talk about?
3
SPEAKER_01
It sounds like you listened to the show, which is awesome, and I assume at some point you ve listened to the show and gone, oh, here s what I would talk to if I were on with the Gecko Man.
3
SPEAKER_01
And I want to know what that is.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
I have a problem because unfortunately with current events that s happening in the economical system,
3
SPEAKER_00
I actually lost two of my jobs within three months.
3
SPEAKER_00
And so it s been, it s been very heartbreaking.
3
SPEAKER_01
So you had two jobs.
3
SPEAKER_01
You were working two jobs at once.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
Um, one job that I worked at, I was there for six years and four months.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then the other job I had to quit within like a month and a half.
3
SPEAKER_01
Why d you have to quit?
3
SPEAKER_00
Um, it got to a point where,
3
SPEAKER_00
I do want to help people financially.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was helping people resolve their debt by 40 to 50%.
3
SPEAKER_00
But when I actually did and broke down the math of declines, I was helping them.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was actually taking 75% of their debt and it did not make me feel like a good moral person.
3
SPEAKER_00
And on top of that, I was getting screened and yelled at constantly.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
And, and due because of my mental condition that I have, um, there s a stigma behind it.
3
SPEAKER_00
And so, um, unfortunately my company wasn t able to accommodate what I was going through during that time.
3
SPEAKER_00
But you know, it s okay.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like during this time, it s a holiday season.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m taking a mental break and my, my daughter being so young,
3
SPEAKER_00
I m starting to realize that every waking moment with my daughter is the most important thing to me.
3
SPEAKER_01
That s nice.
3
SPEAKER_01
That s nice.
3
SPEAKER_01
It is crazy how many kids on the internet make $10 million a week calling each other gay and playing Call of Duty.
3
SPEAKER_01
In real life, it s impossible to fucking get a job anywhere and do anything.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s true.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s true.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
And, you know, and if it makes them happy, what should we do as judge them on what is their happiness?
3
SPEAKER_00
Happiness is defined in many different ways.
3
SPEAKER_00
Rich is defined in many different ways.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like if you can, some people, you know, want the monetary value.
3
SPEAKER_00
For me, I m a type of individual that I,
3
SPEAKER_00
Cherish if I have five friends on on my hand that I can count and trust on I m rich.
3
SPEAKER_01
I m rich Yeah, you re right, you know, I I m I m on I m on a personal journey myself.
3
SPEAKER_01
I m like trying to fucking Like I have two sides to myself.
3
SPEAKER_01
One is like a cool hippie guy.
3
SPEAKER_01
That is like, you know, man I got everything I need I m like as long as I can look at the Sun and and
3
SPEAKER_01
Drink water and have friends and like be grateful for what I have and like I don t need anything like You know, that s that s one part of me.
3
SPEAKER_01
And then the other part of me is like I need to have enough money To never have to do anything ever again, and i m gonna be stressed the fuck out Every single day that I do not have that amount of money And
3
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, and so, you know, I m balancing those those two those two points of view and it s like well here s the thing is I Don t know I feel like this you can do a lot of Sacrificing the present for the future and then the future comes and you re like, oh, where was I the whole time, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
So yeah It s so funny because you re like you do therapy in your own way and I
3
SPEAKER_00
I actually, I do tarot card readings for people for absolutely free.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like I don t charge people for my tarot card reading at all.
3
SPEAKER_00
And to me, I feel like that s my gift of giving people when they need therapy.
3
SPEAKER_01
See, I m not as altruistic as you.
3
SPEAKER_01
I do everything for free, but I will read an ad for a product or service afterwards.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, which is understandable.
3
SPEAKER_00
You re doing a service to the people, and in order for you to survive, I did see your website that you may use some of the money to buy a slice of pizza, and I was like, I m okay with that.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s cool.
3
SPEAKER_00
You can go ahead and buy a slice of pizza.
3
SPEAKER_01
Thanks, Tiffany.
3
SPEAKER_00
I appreciate it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Thank you.
3
SPEAKER_01
Thank you for signing off on my capitalistic nature.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh, my God.
3
SPEAKER_00
Oh, no, it s it.
3
SPEAKER_00
You help a ton of people.
3
SPEAKER_00
And if we as fans here can feel what you are doing as, you know, being a servant of that people.
3
SPEAKER_00
Why can I not feed you another day to continue doing what you re doing?
3
SPEAKER_01
Thank you.
3
SPEAKER_01
I appreciate that.
3
SPEAKER_01
I do look at it that way.
3
SPEAKER_01
I do look at it like I, you know, I want to be able to continue doing this.
3
SPEAKER_01
Um, but it is a lot of work.
3
SPEAKER_01
And so I do need to tell you about all of our wonderful sponsors anyway, enough about me, I guess.
3
SPEAKER_01
Um, well, sorry.
3
SPEAKER_01
What s your husband do?
3
SPEAKER_00
Um, actually he is my boyfriend.
3
SPEAKER_00
Um,
3
SPEAKER_00
We actually have a huge age gap that a lot of people don t realize because I actually look like I m 24, 25.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m 35 years old and he s actually 23 years old.
3
SPEAKER_00
And so we are trying to get married in 2025.
3
SPEAKER_01
Why d you pick 2025?
3
SPEAKER_00
Because we feel like our finances would be more straight in order to have a second child.
3
SPEAKER_00
And he wants to make sure that I get the absolute perfect ring that I want.
3
SPEAKER_00
Vancouver, Canada is one of my favorite vacations spots in the whole world.
3
SPEAKER_00
And he wants to propose to me in Canada.
3
SPEAKER_00
And so he s actually working hard as he can to come up with a salary.
3
SPEAKER_00
in order to, you know, propose to me at the right time.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then for me, like, I m not into big eventful parties.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m really going to just get an Aaron RB and just get married in the backyard and just tell everyone, look, like, there s going to be some Taco Bell.
3
SPEAKER_00
There s going to be like some sodas and drinks, like, you know, and, um,
3
SPEAKER_00
We re going to do like little fun games because we want to do a harry potter thing And so whoever can find the golden snitch can like win a hundred dollars That s cool.
3
SPEAKER_01
Oh, where did you in this where did you and this little boy meet?
3
SPEAKER_00
Um, oh my god This is actually really quite funny story.
3
SPEAKER_00
This website actually doesn t exist anymore, but I met him on omegle You met him on omegle?
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I met him on Omegle.
3
SPEAKER_00
It was, um, it was actually quite funny during that time because, um, the company that I was working for for six years, um, one of the managers actually came up to me and, you know, during COVID, they did video talk.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think people feel more comfortable when they re, you know, facing someone over a video.
3
SPEAKER_00
And she was really harsh on me.
3
SPEAKER_00
She didn t like my happy personality.
3
SPEAKER_00
Um, she, she laid down the law and I basically had like a bottle of Jameson.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, I felt like it was like the most hateful person in the world to the point where I didn t want to be me.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I hopped on an Omegle because, um, during that time I was going through a really bad breakup.
3
SPEAKER_00
Um, and I actually had to find my own apartment.
3
SPEAKER_00
I had to leave my daughter behind because I just didn t have enough money to support her and make sure that she had a safe home.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I had to make sure that she had a safe home.
3
SPEAKER_00
And here I am going on this website and I m just trying to find people just to party with me, to forget it.
3
SPEAKER_00
What was going on?
3
SPEAKER_00
And usually on the screen when I see that there s a webcam simulation,
3
SPEAKER_00
I usually skip it because it means that it s a webcam girl that s just trying to get you to go to their website.
3
SPEAKER_00
All of a sudden, the image popped up and there was 10 people that showed up in the video.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I m like, what is going on?
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, is this real?
3
SPEAKER_00
Is this fake?
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, why are there so many people in this chatroom system?
3
SPEAKER_00
And so,
4
SPEAKER_00
We started talking, and he actually never showed his face to me.
4
SPEAKER_00
All I saw was him playing the guitar.
4
SPEAKER_00
And he s actually a really good guitarist.
4
SPEAKER_01
So he s one of the many people in this chat room?
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, he was one of the people.
4
SPEAKER_00
Are all these people in the same physical room as you?
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, they re in the chat room, in the chat room.
4
SPEAKER_01
Oh, I thought Omegle was one on one.
4
SPEAKER_00
You would think so, but actually, um, he is so high tech and IT that, um, we do run Minecraft servers on different other servers.
4
SPEAKER_00
And so he grabbed one of his server boards and changed the IP address on it.
4
SPEAKER_00
So Omegle didn t think that it was his household.
4
SPEAKER_01
Doing the streaming while other people were on discord Just be careful when you say that you met your younger boyfriend in an in a minecraft server people might Get an idea
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, actually, I never played Minecraft.
4
SPEAKER_00
He got me into it.
4
SPEAKER_00
But, of course, I won t mention it because I do not want to get you demonetized on your server.
4
SPEAKER_01
No, I m just talking with you.
4
SPEAKER_01
Well, that s cool.
4
SPEAKER_01
That s cool.
4
SPEAKER_00
How old s the kid?
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, my daughter is four years old.
4
SPEAKER_01
She s four years old.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, four years old.
4
SPEAKER_00
He s a pandemic, baby.
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, wow.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_00
Sorry, Mommy.
4
SPEAKER_00
Thank you.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m sorry.
4
SPEAKER_00
Huh?
4
SPEAKER_00
I m talking to the gecko.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, remember I told him the cousin from Frozen?
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_00
Do you want him to put a good word to Santa?
4
SPEAKER_00
OK, I ll tell him that you want Paw Patrol Bicycle Play-Doh, OK?
4
SPEAKER_00
OK.
4
SPEAKER_01
I like I I Tiffany I m very flattered by this immediate Assumption that I I have some goodwill with Santa to offer He and I actually fucking hate each other because
4
SPEAKER_01
Well, he just, I think, well, Santa Claus historically has not, uh, has kind of hated Jewish people, so he and I are not chillin , but, um... No, I ll see what I got, I ll see what I can do!
4
SPEAKER_01
I ll see what I can do, we re both sort of mythical creatures.
4
SPEAKER_01
We re both, we re both sort of mythical creatures, so maybe I can get him on that.
4
SPEAKER_01
But he does hate Jews.
4
SPEAKER_00
But yeah, when I actually met my boyfriend, I never met his face for six months.
4
SPEAKER_00
And then one day I rejected him literally five times.
4
SPEAKER_00
He was like, why don t you want to be with me?
4
SPEAKER_00
But here I am with a child and I m feeling like I m unworthy.
4
SPEAKER_00
I shouldn t be with anybody because my life is not my life anymore.
4
SPEAKER_00
My life is my daughter.
4
SPEAKER_00
I actually spent 10 years to have my daughter went through chemotherapy in order to have my daughter.
4
SPEAKER_00
So that s why she was my number one priority before I got into a relationship.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I thought that was like really mature because a lot of people jump into relationships.
4
SPEAKER_01
Is this the biological daughter of you and your boyfriend?
4
SPEAKER_01
Husband?
4
SPEAKER_00
Her father lives 20 minutes away from me.
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, but my boyfriend now, um, actually used to live in, uh, California.
4
SPEAKER_01
Oh, okay.
4
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_01
So this is, uh, uh, so the father of the biological father of the kid, uh, is, is he involved?
4
SPEAKER_00
So the, we are very good.
4
SPEAKER_00
Co-parenting, um, get, you re going to find this really strange to how I meet these men.
4
SPEAKER_00
I actually met her baby daddy while he was incarcerated.
4
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_01
So you met him while he was, was it a prison pen pal thing?
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, it wasn t like that.
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, I did meet him once before New Year s.
4
SPEAKER_00
And so we, we did play some billiards at a local bar.
4
SPEAKER_00
And the very next day, um, something happened between him and this family member and he rushed home and he made a U-turn and he didn t see the cop car that was there.
4
SPEAKER_00
So he, he bought my cop car and those two cops that was in there.
4
SPEAKER_01
Did he kill them?
4
SPEAKER_00
No, he didn t kill them.
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, during the time they said they were uninjured.
4
SPEAKER_00
But when he got released, they said they did receive some injuries, which was really funny because his lawyer actually told him that he shouldn t have turned himself in, that he should have took the car that he hit the cop car with and took it out in the middle of the desert and called the insurance claim and tell them that someone stole his vehicle.
4
SPEAKER_00
But because he was trying to be a true, honest man, he turned himself in to the cops.
4
SPEAKER_01
I m sorry, the lawyer said that he should steal the fucking cop car.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, he that that he should have said that that he claimed that someone stole his vehicle who hit the cop car, that he should have took the cop car to an empty parking lot or empty on the freeway.
4
SPEAKER_00
And then
4
SPEAKER_00
And then reported stolen and he wouldn t end up being incarcerated for five years.
4
SPEAKER_01
So I still don t understand how you met this guy.
4
SPEAKER_00
I met him.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_00
So the, the, the company that I worked for six years, I knew his, um, sister did not blood sister, blood relatives.
4
SPEAKER_00
They just been around each other for such a long time that they call each other brother and sister.
4
SPEAKER_00
And so I actually met him through her.
4
SPEAKER_00
And then one day he started sending me letters while he was incarcerated.
4
SPEAKER_00
And he actually put me on the list where the, I m sorry, the correction people, the correction police officers, gave me permission to see him if I presented my ID.
4
SPEAKER_00
but there was certain type of clothing I couldn t wear when I went to go see him.
4
SPEAKER_00
But, which was funny because when I went to go see him, I used to like, I snuck in Taco Bell.
4
SPEAKER_00
Cause we hadn t had Taco Bell for three years.
4
SPEAKER_00
So I wore this big hoodie and I hid Taco Bell in my hoodie and then I gave it to him in the lunchroom.
4
SPEAKER_01
I thought I thought you were going to be pulling grilled chipotle chicken rollers out of your asshole.
4
SPEAKER_00
No, no.
4
SPEAKER_00
And the machines that we ate at only accept quarters.
4
SPEAKER_00
And so I would take $30 on my paycheck and I will go to the local casinos because I just told you to live in Las Vegas.
4
SPEAKER_00
I know exchange $30 of coins.
4
SPEAKER_01
Well, well, Tiffany, Tiffany, Tiffany, I m going to be so honest with you.
4
SPEAKER_01
I, I feel like you, I still, I still don t understand the start of this relationship.
4
SPEAKER_01
Maybe that s my fault, whatever.
4
SPEAKER_01
But anyway, okay.
4
SPEAKER_01
So how long, uh, so do you have any relationship with this guy?
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, her baby daddy, we co-parent.
4
SPEAKER_00
My current boyfriend that I have right now, um, we are, we are, we are so mean, but he s not going anywhere.
4
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, and he, um, when he was living in LA, he actually sold all his, because he s a producer too.
4
SPEAKER_01
This is your new boyfriend, right?
4
SPEAKER_01
I want to know about the old one first.
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh, wait.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
4
SPEAKER_00
We can go back to the old one.
4
SPEAKER_00
We can go back to the old one.
4
SPEAKER_00
Let s go back to the old one.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, I mean, so do you still, so you, you and him just co-parent, but he doesn t really have anything to, do you guys like, you guys share custody pretty much?
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, we don t do it.
4
SPEAKER_00
We don t do it through the court system.
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, because the lawyers that I called and they rip people off on trying to get custody of your child.
4
SPEAKER_00
He told me minimum just to talk to him to get consultation, $3,000.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I was like,
4
SPEAKER_00
Are you joking with me?
4
SPEAKER_00
We re both adults because the baby daddy, he s only four years older than me.
4
SPEAKER_00
He s not younger than, he s older than me.
5
SPEAKER_01
And then what s the and OK and so the boyfriend now.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
5
SPEAKER_01
What does he do?
5
SPEAKER_01
He s in college.
5
SPEAKER_00
He s trying to get into college for cybersecurity.
5
SPEAKER_01
Oh, okay.
5
SPEAKER_01
Nice.
5
SPEAKER_01
He s trying to make Minecraft servers for the US government.
5
SPEAKER_01
To hide secret documents in Minecraft hell.
5
SPEAKER_01
Where you need super special tools to get them.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s not particularly in Minecraft, but he has helped the FBI, and I m not allowed to talk about that story.
5
SPEAKER_01
Well, it s okay.
5
SPEAKER_00
Bad people are arrested.
5
SPEAKER_00
He didn t do nothing.
5
SPEAKER_00
He helped the FBI arrest bad people, so.
5
SPEAKER_01
That still sounds like it has something to do with Minecraft, but anyway.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, we have a Minecraft server you want to join.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s nice.
5
SPEAKER_01
That s nice.
5
SPEAKER_01
Tiffany, it sounds like you re living a nice life.
5
SPEAKER_01
Sounds good.
5
SPEAKER_00
I would say it s how you look at life.
5
SPEAKER_00
The way I look at life is that things don t last forever and you have to cherish something.
5
SPEAKER_00
My favorite saying that I like to tell people is that, do you like how the Buddhist does?
5
SPEAKER_00
Dump that table in the river.
5
SPEAKER_00
Because what Buddhist people do is they spend five years
5
SPEAKER_00
making the most beautiful table you ve ever seen covering 14 karat gold and everything.
5
SPEAKER_00
And after it s done making that table, they legally go find the river and dump it in the river because they understand that things are not internal and that you have to live in the present.
5
SPEAKER_00
And even though things are bad and, you know, there are things, don t get me wrong, like I may sound happy to go lucky,
5
SPEAKER_00
but there are things that I wish there was a little bit better, but the way that I saw my daughter ran up to Santa Claus today, that s, you can t pay money for that.
5
SPEAKER_01
Well, I hope that you never throw your daughter in the river.
5
SPEAKER_00
No, I m not that Chinese.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m not that Chinese.
5
SPEAKER_01
You said you re not that Chinese?
5
SPEAKER_00
Well, because that s what they use
5
SPEAKER_00
to do back in the day when I was younger.
5
SPEAKER_00
Are you Chinese?
5
SPEAKER_00
Yes, I am.
5
SPEAKER_00
I am Chinese.
5
SPEAKER_00
Chinese girls are not favorable in the Chinese culture.
5
SPEAKER_00
So it is true.
5
SPEAKER_00
They used to send baby girls and baby baskets and send them down the river.
5
SPEAKER_00
Well, morbidly as that sounds.
5
SPEAKER_01
No, I m familiar with that.
5
SPEAKER_01
I m glad that that didn t happen to you and that it will continue to not happen to your daughter.
5
SPEAKER_00
No, which is funny because I m actually a nuclear baby survivor.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m not joking.
5
SPEAKER_00
You can Google this.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m not.
5
SPEAKER_00
What s it?
5
SPEAKER_01
What s it?
5
SPEAKER_01
What s a new?
5
SPEAKER_01
Hold on.
5
SPEAKER_01
What s a nuclear?
5
SPEAKER_01
You just you just keep going.
5
SPEAKER_01
Tiffany, a nuclear baby survivor.
5
SPEAKER_01
What the hell does that mean?
5
SPEAKER_00
So here there was a nuclear power plant in Henderson, Nevada, called Pepcon.
5
SPEAKER_00
Pepcon actually exploded.
5
SPEAKER_00
And, um, May 28th of 2000, I m sorry, May 28th of 1988.
5
SPEAKER_00
And my mom actually came out of the Burger King and she saw the sky turn green and yellow.
5
SPEAKER_00
And then all of a sudden she started having complications while she was pregnant with me.
5
SPEAKER_00
She immediately went to the hospital and the doctor gave her three options.
5
SPEAKER_00
The doctor told her.
5
SPEAKER_00
You can go ahead and try to keep this baby, but you may die.
5
SPEAKER_00
The second option is you can try to have this baby, but you will both die.
5
SPEAKER_00
The third option is you can go ahead and have this child, and if luck is on your side, you will both survive.
5
SPEAKER_00
And it was a very, very hard decision on my parents  part, but they took the risk.
5
SPEAKER_00
And here I am.
5
SPEAKER_01
Did your mom survive?
5
SPEAKER_00
My mom did survive.
5
SPEAKER_00
I did a horrible thing to the doctor.
5
SPEAKER_00
And the doctor was very tired because of the concerns that was going over with me and my mom.
5
SPEAKER_00
Because during that time, he even told my mom that she may have autism.
5
SPEAKER_00
She may have a mental condition.
5
SPEAKER_01
What horrible thing did you do to the doctor?
5
SPEAKER_00
Um, the doctor was so tired after monitoring, um, you know, me and my mother, um, that he told my mother that he was going to go to his office and take a nap on his couch.
5
SPEAKER_00
And halfway there, the nurse was running after the doctor and told the doctor, you need to go back because she s in labor.
5
SPEAKER_00
And so the doctor had to run all the way back to my mother to go deliver me.
5
SPEAKER_00
And then when my mom had my little brother, the doctor said, I don t want your third one doing the same thing like your second one did to me.
5
SPEAKER_00
I want to go ahead and sleep in the waiting room.
5
SPEAKER_01
Well, Tiffany, um, I, I don t know.
5
SPEAKER_01
I don t know what to make of your life.
5
SPEAKER_01
I think it sounds like, uh, you did well.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01
Tiffany, is there anything else you want to say?
5
SPEAKER_01
Tiffany, is there anything else you want to say to the people at the computer before we go?
5
SPEAKER_00
