Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:02

Three, two, one. It has the same cadence at least.

SPEAKER_03 0:27

I feel like it's been a minute since we've had a a like opener that was actually like good. Actually, to be honest, like it's been a minute since we've both been like in a decent mood, huh?

SPEAKER_00 0:39

Yeah, you know, I really am on the upswing right now, to be honest. Uh, there's a lot of things in my life that have been stuck in place, and I don't feel that way anymore. I feel like I'm catching up on all the things I've been behind on. So I've been on a super uh I don't want to say super positive because there are negative things in my life, but I've definitely been on the upswing for sure.

SPEAKER_03 1:05

Yeah. I will say this right now, like I like life fucking sucks, like in the like IRL, but like I just got out of therapy like two seconds ago. And so like I'm in a pretty good mood. Um prior to therapy, I was feeling a little down. I'm not gonna lie. But getting in therapy, having a good cry out, it gets you in a pretty good mood, I will say, to start the day. Oh, I lost my coffee somewhere. Where the frick did my coffee go? Oh well.

SPEAKER_02 1:41

But yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

You mean this coffee? I stole your coffee, daddy.

SPEAKER_03 1:54

From 500 miles away.

SPEAKER_00 1:57

Yes. I reached through the phone and stole your coffee. You know what? Um that's found this place. Um, it's like a Filipino donut shop, and they have this special like Filipino coffee there, and it is so numbers, and I got it. It's only six bucks, and it's like more than they'd give you a Starbucks.

SPEAKER_03 2:22

Um when you said numbers, I thought you said numbers, and I was like, what?

SPEAKER_00 2:26

Yeah, we run in numbers, girl. We running numbers. I'm gonna go from the most feminine sounding thing I've said all day to the most manly sounding thing. It was so numbers, we run in numbers.

SPEAKER_03 2:39

It was yummy.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

Yeah, yeah. But uh that's cool. Shit, man. Uh blah blah blah. But we got a cool game today, and we got a cool, very interesting topic.

SPEAKER_02 2:53

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:57

I don't know if I found enough. I mean, this isn't gonna make sense unless we explain it first, but I wasn't able to uh find You didn't you didn't come up with eleven? Well, I came up with a cool amount of fake names, but I couldn't find enough real names to like offset the balance. So I don't know if it's supposed to be.

SPEAKER_03 3:22

So I came up with so for each one that I came up with, I found two.

SPEAKER_00 3:27

Okay, I might need a little more time to just find maybe a few more, but maybe we could play like the first couple rounds. Um, I don't know if you want to like break it up, but uh why don't you explain for the good people at home what kind of game we're gonna be playing today?

SPEAKER_03 3:43

Okay, so basically I had this idea while I was scrolling the um the crunchy roll. Like, you ever been through Crunchyroll and you just be reading the fucking names, and it's like I woke up and I found out that I didn't have a dick no more. That's a good one, and it's like some dumbass fucking name. Like some anime's names are so fucking crazy, and like it's literally like so stupid, and like, or it's like a full ass sentence. Like, I'll marry my next door neighbor who has a cow, and it's like it's like a full sentence, so I'm like, okay, it'd be so funny to like go through and find some ridiculous ass like anime names and come up with some like ridiculous ass anime names on the side, and then to like compare them and be like, okay, yeah, try to figure out here's it's like two truths and a lie, except it's anime titles, yeah. Yeah, exactly. So like that's what we're playing today.

SPEAKER_00 4:59

I'm so excited for this.

SPEAKER_03 5:01

Yeah, so that's the game that we're gonna play. So I don't know. Do you want to play the game first or do you want to talk about our other topic?

SPEAKER_00 5:08

Well, how about this? Since I still need a few more things, why don't we do a few now? And then whenever it feels like we're in a lull of the conversation, we can dive back in. It'll be like our our home base in a way. We return to whenever we're gonna like switch up subjects or whatever.

SPEAKER_03 5:29

Okay. So I did like 11, so we do like half and then end with half.

SPEAKER_00 5:34

Um, we could go, we could go two for two, where like I'll do I'll do two, meaning like, you know, two truths and a lie, two truths and a lie, and then you do two truths and a lie, two truths and a lie, and then we'll see how we feel if we want to do more. And if not, then we'll tap into the topic.

SPEAKER_03 5:52

Okay, cool. Cool.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

Nice. I feel like we're really on business today. We're like, yes, we have a fucking schedule.

SPEAKER_03 6:00

We actually have shit to talk about today.

SPEAKER_00 6:02

So often we're like, yeah, I did laundry today, and my mother called, so I mean, I could tell you what I talked about in therapy. Okay. I mean, hey, I'm always down for that too. That's actually super interesting. Maybe, maybe give us a little tidbit. Well, yeah, I think it's awesome. I've always wanted to do it.

SPEAKER_03 6:23

Yeah, so I yeah, I am doing therapy. Uh, it's this is like my uh I don't know. I've been doing therapy for a little bit over a month now. It's like we we on that mental health shit. Um, I also I'm doing therapy and I have been saying a psychiatrist too. So I have been formally diagnosed with ADHD now. Yeah. I I have been on Adderall for uh a little over a month.

SPEAKER_00 6:52

Damn! How's that feel?

SPEAKER_03 6:54

Um, it's been at first, like I I like wasn't feeling any different. Um because I had like a lower dose and then they bumped my dose up a little bit, so I'm on like 15 milligrams now. But like it's a little interesting. Like I feel like I am uh I don't know, like to be honest, like I sometimes I'm like, is it you is it doing anything? Like, am I more focused? I don't know. Like me and Tara have talked about it, and like I do feel like I'm not forgetting as much. Okay. I do I do feel like I'm remembering more things. So that's good. Um I don't feel as much like like sometimes like before the medication, I feel like I would be like, like say like I'd be at my desk and I'd be like like uh about to get up to go do something, and then I'd be like, I need to go to the office, but I need to get this, but I need to go get copies, but I need to go to the bathroom, but I need to do this, and I'd be like, uh uh uh uh and I like don't know what to do. Like you can't see it with the motion, with the motion that I'm doing, but I'm like looking left, looking right, left, left, looking right, you know, like what the heck do I do next? And so like I feel like I'm not doing that as much. It's feeling more like okay, I'm gonna do this, then that, then this, then that. Like it feels more like I'm you have more control a little bit more, yeah. Like that definitely feels like it, I'm not as like crazy. Like I'm I'm like, okay, I'm doing more things. I still feel like I'm doing my dopamine seeking behaviors though. Like I do feel like I'm I come home and I will get stuck. Like I'm hyp I hyper focus a little bit more, so like when I start scrolling, I do feel like it's harder to pull myself away from scrolling, which is not so good, I feel like.

SPEAKER_00 8:58

But what is Storm and my bad. I don't want to interrupt your your momentum because I feel like I'm enjoying the role that you're on, but I also want to know what these terms are that you're using. So you said dopamine seeking.

SPEAKER_03 9:13

Yeah, dopamine seeking is like so basically what ADHD is, is it's a a deficit disorder in your brain where like your brain does not make enough uh like serotonin, essentially. So serotonin and dopamine are both like happy, uh they're happy like chemicals, they make you feel happy and fulfilled and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

Right.

SPEAKER_03 9:41

And so uh people who have ADHD they have dopamine-seeking behaviors, and these behaviors are things like um constant scrolling through TikTok, um like regular, like a lot of food like eating, like behaviors, like I'm gonna eat a lot of chocolate or a lot of like foods that make me feel happy, and they spark that happy brain. Um people who have ADHD often have addiction issues, so they will um they'll do drugs or uh smoke weed or have issues with things that make them feel better in some kind of way. They they start doing that and then they have a hard time stopping.

SPEAKER_00 10:32

Wow, you know, I love when you go to therapy because I learned so much about myself.

SPEAKER_03 10:41

It's funny because I knew this way before I went to therapy. So I I knew going into to my psychiatry that I had ADHD, and it was just like affirming to go to psychiatry and be like, nah, you hella have psych uh ADHD.

SPEAKER_00 10:57

But you actually learned more than that, right? You learned that um you actually have a little more than just ADHD or a certain type, right?

SPEAKER_03 11:06

Uh yeah, so we have so there's like three different types of ADHD. There is um, there is basically hyperactivity, there is inattentive, and then there's mixed. I have mixed, which and it's my mixed ADHD does lean inattentive, so I have more inattentive behaviors than hyperactive, but I do still have uh hyperactive behaviors, and like hyperactivity does not necessarily mean like it's solely hyperactivity because hyperactivity also coincides with impulsivity, so it's my hyperactivity, quote unquote, behaviors mostly hinge on that impulsivity rather than the hyperactivity. So I'm not like it's not like I'm like running around and stuff like that. I do fidget a lot, and that kind of is part of the hyperactivity, so like I can't really sit still and like I will like shake my leg or I have like a fidget in my hand, or like I will like play with my hair a lot, or um like like my fingers will rub a lot, like when I got like little you got little stems, you stem out from time to time. Yeah, a little like yeah, I got little stems that I do a lot. Um, and those are like very small and they're learned, but like as a child, they were probably a lot bigger. Like, do you I don't know if you remember when we were in middle school, I used to do that thing a lot where I would snap and hit my hands, so it was like oh yeah, I do kind of remember that.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

I feel like a few people did that.

SPEAKER_03 12:53

Yeah, I used to do that so much, and it was like very annoying, but that was like a hyperactive little stim that I used to do. Um but that's like part of that hyperactivity, but the impulsivity part is like um like excessive spending. So like I don't because I grew up poor, I think I I'd ride that line a little bit, but I spend money on stupid shit, like a lot of a lot of little stupid shit here and there, where like if you added it all up, like it could all amount to like at the end of the month, ah shit, I could have bought an Xbox this month or some shit. Like so, like I spent the whole month and I like I bought a lip gloss here and I bought like some like hair product that was expensive, or like I splurged on this, and like if you added it all up, then I could have got something else, or like, or for example, like I need a new bookshelf, but instead I keep buying books.

SPEAKER_00 14:01

That's fucking poetic, dude.

SPEAKER_03 14:05

So I just have like hella books and like on the floor.

SPEAKER_00 14:10

Hit him with a Confucius, Confucius, do not buy book when you have no bookshelf.

SPEAKER_03 14:18

So I just like my books are starting to like stack on the floor and shit. Cause like I'm like, but like, but my dopamine says that the books are better than the bookshelves.

SPEAKER_00 14:29

Right. You wanna hear uh you wanna hear my recent ADHD money not going to good places thing? Because dude, if you if if you remember, it was only a month or two ago where I was wondering if I was about to get kicked out this bitch. Full disclosure. Um so let me put it to you like this. How many Yu-Gi-Oh decks do you think I have? Because I um I have this place in Sacramento called uh Skyscraper Comics, where they have all the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for a quarter. It doesn't matter if it's a rare ass blue eyes white dragon that's worth$600, or if it's a freaking common that's worth a penny, everything is a quarter. Which means if a card deck is 40 cards, then you could build an entire deck for$10. You know what I mean? So, like, in a way, I was like, holy shit, this is cheap as fuck. I love to duel. Let's get it on. And I'd be buying cards.

SPEAKER_03 15:33

Now you just be buying Hella.

SPEAKER_00 15:35

Now, dude, just guess how many decks I have, man. It's not crazy, it's not crazy when it comes to the money. But the idea money I have 10 decks already, dude.

SPEAKER_03 15:45

Oh, that's crazy. No, dude, okay, so on that same note though, I found this place online where it's like an outlet. It's I think it's like called book outlet or something like that, and they sell books for$5.99.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:03

And I bought six. Ah and I told Tara about it. And she goes, babe, it's only$5.99 if you buy one. And I'm like, Yeah, but if I buy six, that's like the price of one book.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

I get your thought process though. That makes sense. If you were fully mentally prepared, yeah, if you were mentally prepared to spend that much already, you might as well get your money's worth.

SPEAKER_03 16:27

Yeah, we got like, okay, for example, like we got our taxes back, and I told Tara, like, I want to get us a new rug for the living room when we get our taxes back. That's like the only thing that I really want. The rest is going to savings. And she's like, Alright, okay, that that's chill, let's do it. Um, because the other one that we have is like white, because like I was only buying rugs from like Ross because they're cheaper at Ross, but they're always white. And I was like, fuck that. I'm not getting it from Ross, I'm getting it from Wayfair, and we're just gonna spend a little bit more money. That's fine.

SPEAKER_00 17:00

So Wayfair, they got just what I need.

SPEAKER_03 17:04

So I end right, let's get a fucking uh yeah, let's get a fucking sponsorship from Wayfair, right? Um, we are not sponsored by Wayfair, but if you want to sponsor us, um anyway, so I end up looking on Wayfair and I see this rug. Like, I show her all the rugs that I want, and I'm like, okay, pick one, which one do you like the most? She's like, I really like this one, but I also really like this one. This one's really pretty. And I'm like, okay, cool. And I'm like, you know what? This is really big. Like, let's measure out the living room. This living room is a lot smaller than the living room we used to have, so like we might be able to go down a size. So I we measure it out, we can go down a size, and the size that we go down is a hundred dollars, a whole ass hundred dollars cheaper. Damn, and I'm like, well shit, we were willing to spend, we were willing to spend two hundred dollars on the bigger rug. So I kind of want a rug in our bedroom because like the whole house, you know that Mexican ass tile floors, like the big ass cold as fuck. Yeah, and like I don't like putting my bottles on the floor when it's like cold as fuck at night. Like it's so cold, and I'm like, it wakes me up and I'm like, no, that's not fun. I don't want that. So I told her, I was like, I kind of want a rug like under our bed, like that would be kind of sick.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

Yeah, so when you step out of bed, you can freaking have some yeah, warmth, stability.

SPEAKER_03 18:40

So I told her, I was like, since we were since we were already gonna spend a hundred dollars, like I go get out of the rug. What do you want to think? That's a good idea. And I was like, okay. And so I was looking to see if I could get the rug that the other rug that we liked. Um, but it was like hella big, so I was like, I don't need that big of a rug. So I tried to see if it had it had that rug a size down, and they didn't, so we ended up having to find a whole last different rug, but that's fine. We got it, and we got a we got two rugs. We got two rugs for the price of one.

SPEAKER_00 19:16

Bad at saving money. Yes, bad, girl math. Very bad.

SPEAKER_03 19:22

Technically, I did save money.

SPEAKER_00 19:26

I twice. I saved money twice, bitch.

SPEAKER_03 19:29

Yeah, yeah. I just bought two rugs for the price of one.

unknown 19:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:36

No, I I see the mentality.

SPEAKER_03 19:39

But yeah, so yeah. That's all the the psychiatry bullshit. The uh therapy bullshit. I talked to my therapist today about uh so I woke up this morning, I had a bad morning because I woke up this morning and I found out um in Tennessee uh gay marriage is no longer protected. So uh people can deny like health services, or like if a gay couple wants to buy a house, they can say, nah, I don't want to sell to you. Or like if I'd discriminatory Yeah, like they can discriminate however they want now in Tennessee. If you're gay, it's a hundred percent legal to discriminate them in every capacity. Um that's just because that's just the bill that passed, like it's they they passed a bill that makes it legal to discriminate um against gay.

SPEAKER_00 20:45

What are they what are the are the gays ruining the community? Are there's just freaking gangs on every corner with just gay dudes?

SPEAKER_03 20:54

Gay gangs?

SPEAKER_00 20:55

Yeah, bro. Just throwing skittles, throwing skittles out the fucking window as a drive-by. Taste the rainbow, bitch.

SPEAKER_03 21:04

Taste the rainbow, bitch!

SPEAKER_00 21:08

Like what the fuck kind of shit like why? Why do they feel the need to do this? Why like what kind of low fucking like shit do you have to be on to feel threatened by love?

SPEAKER_03 21:22

I don't know. I wish I knew. I wish I could understand, but I don't understand. But that was one thing that kind of upset me this morning, and then I learned some shit about the fucking Epstein files, which like it's like every single day I'm like something pops up about the Epstein files that just it's they were they're monsters. They're monsters. It's disgusting. Like they literally like they they literally like had they did disgusting things to babies, made them have babies, and then ate their babies. It's like it's disgusting. Disgusting.

SPEAKER_00 22:01

And sounds like some attack on Titan shit.

SPEAKER_03 22:04

Hey, so it's you know, you're so disturbing.

SPEAKER_00 22:08

You're um a Democrat. Um well no.

SPEAKER_03 22:14

I I mean I don't really call myself a Democrat. I'm I'm left-leaning. I'm like I'm a liberal.

SPEAKER_00 22:21

Okay, so you you lean liberal. Um I have a friend at work who I feel is very friend in you.

unknown 22:33

Sorry.

SPEAKER_00 22:34

Let me say he's very close-minded when it comes to anything liberal. He thinks that the left is just plotting and they're all evil and they're all doing what apparently doing what we're reading about right now in the Epstein files. Like, he's been talking about this shit for like let me say probably five to six years. He's been talking about all the shit that's coming out right now. And I was like, dang, dude, I thought this fool was crazy and talking out of his ass, and it turned out he was right. It's just a matter of who was it who was doing the shit. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 23:15

It's not about us, it's not about whether you're Democrat or Republican, it's about whether you're rich or poor. It's the rich people versus the poor people. And the problem that's happening right now is that Trump is doing a damn fine job at polarizing us as a nation and pitting us against each other so that way we cannot come aga come together to fight this. Like, if we could all stand together and agree that this is fucking foul, I don't care if they're democratic leaders. I don't care if they're Republican leaders. It's disgusting and disturbing, and they all need to go down for it. And there's people in fucking politics right now that are like, if uh if we prosecuted all the people, there would only be like two Republican leaders left. So be it.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

Yeah. Let it be a good idea. Literally make room for the next generation.

SPEAKER_03 24:17

Like literally.

SPEAKER_00 24:19

These motherfuckers ran everything into the ground to fill their own pockets. Sometimes Louis XIII needs to get his head cut off in the fucking town square. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 24:30

Yeah. It's fucking wild. So, I mean, it was like, it's like I opened my TikTok and it's like, it's like, like, it's one after another. Like, Tennessee, uh, gay rights are no longer a thing. Uh, the next one is like describing a picture of like that was redacted in the Epstein files, and it's so disturbing. And then the next one is like Henrietta Henrietta, Georgia, a black man, was lynched. And then the next one is like in uh Minnesota, like people are burning down the vigils and like and ice is still out there rampaging and da da da da da. And it's like it's just it was so much. And so I just had to like I had to turn off my TikTok because I just can't be on TikTok right now. Yeah, I just had to turn it off and set it to the side, and then I like and then I open up my Facebook and I see my mom posted that my grandma got laid to rest. She died in 2018. She got laid to rest, and my uncle didn't let anybody know. And I'm just like, fuck! So that's how I started my morning. That's how I started my morning, and so that's how I got onto that's what that's what I talked about in therapy, and uh and I talked it, I talked it all out and whatever, and cried it out, and uh honestly, like therapy is really nice, like it like it really lets you talk everything out, and then now I'm like feeling a little bit better. Like, obviously, the world around us still sucks, but I'm in a better mood.

SPEAKER_00 26:15

That's what's up. I have and you know, I think that can impose I think the thing about doom scrolling is um well, you know, in a way, I have a question for you, and in another way I have a statement to make. The statement is that when doom scrolling, I apply the method that drug addicts use whenever they do their little meetings, they say, God, grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Uh, what is it? The wisdom to change the things I can and something, things like that, but basically knowing the power of what you can change and what you can't change, which is like the things we can change, saying, like, oh yeah, if we all come together, we can fight the 1%. That is something that we can change if we would all just realize it. Um, what we can't change is how the world feels about what's going on and what's already been done and and things like that. But in this immediate situation, you've come to realize the things you can't change are the things you're seeing happening in the world right now, at this exact moment. But the things that you can change are the things that you're doing in your immediate time, with your immediate space, with the immediate people that you experience life with from day to day. So, like, um, I think you definitely make the right move by putting the phone down and going and doing something that brings you joy, you know, or or or productivity. Um, but here goes my question for you before we hop into this game, because I feel like you you wrapped this all up in a very nice way. Um as a teacher, you know, um, what would be your advice to someone who feels that every time they look at their phone, all they see is disaster. You know, like what would you tell someone who felt like you? You know?

SPEAKER_03 28:22

I think it's really important to like, first of all, process your feelings. Like let yourself feel what you're feeling. It's okay, like it's valid, everything that you're feeling is valid. The the way that they are dropping the Epstein files is calculated, they did it in a way that it is not like psychologically you're unable to process things the way that you're supposed to do. Like, for example, in court cases when something is particularly traumatizing, in order for a jury to um like properly view evidence that is traumatizing, they only give the jury evidence, one piece at a time, in order for them to look at the piece of evidence, process the piece of evidence, and then like come down from that, and then they give them a new piece.

SPEAKER_00 29:29

So they don't want it to build up and make it seem like it's some sort of ramping up of emotions as you're absorbing the information.

SPEAKER_03 29:38

If they do a like a uh an information dump like that, it causes a stress response and it can it can make people uh like their their nervous systems shut down and like it's it's trauma. It it's immediate trauma. Like the way that they dump these files on us, it's it's trauma. Um and so it and it's trauma-inducing. And so I think the first step is to just process what you're feeling and tell yourself that it's okay, like it's okay, what you're feeling is okay. The second step is to understand that you might not be able to do something on a large scale, however, the most important thing to do right now is to look at what you can do in your community right here and right now around you. So who are your people? Gather them and try and help in your community. If you have if you live in a place where ICE is around and you can or want to do something, do something. If you're not currently in a place where ice is actually doing something, look online, see if there's any resources that you can help with online. I donated to uh like a service um called Haven Watch that's in Minnesota, and that made me feel a little bit better. Um there's lawyers out there that are like asking for help. Um, there's all kinds of little ways that you can help community stuff. There's protests happening all over the country you can get involved in. Um, whatever it is that you I mean, if you if you if you're not emotionally able to handle getting out there and protest and all that kind of stuff, there's other ways that you can protest. Protest is also being happy, like put together a freaking celebration and like show that love is okay. Like, do stuff like that. Like there's so many other ways to fight against this in positive ways, like putting together food drives and and just like showing up for your community in so many ways. So just look at what's happening around you currently, right now, and figure out how you want to help in that way, in that capacity, and fulfill it and do it for you. Don't do it for anybody else, do it for you, and don't do it to show everybody like hey, look what I'm doing. Like, do it for you. That would be my advice.

SPEAKER_00 32:44

Wow, yeah. I yeah, I couldn't have said it better myself. That was great. Um and to you listeners out there too, if you are participating and absorbing this fucking crazy ass information online, make sure you do research too to differentiate between the bullshit of what people are theorizing and suspecting, and also, you know, knowing the difference between what actually is being released, you know? Um, because knowledge is power, and motherfuckers be just reading headlines and then not reading actual fucking source material and then just roll them with that, and that's not cool either.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

It's rough, but you can go and just look at the actual source material. It it sucks. It hurts to do that, but you can do that.

SPEAKER_00 33:36

Yeah. Anyways, so let's get into this game.

SPEAKER_03 33:41

Do you wanna do you wanna go first?

SPEAKER_00 33:44

Yeah, I hella wanna do it.

SPEAKER_03 33:47

SPEAKER_00 38:40

Okay, that's your answers number two.

SPEAKER_03 38:43

SPEAKER_01 38:51

What the fuck? Okay.

SPEAKER_00 38:52

Yeah, bruh. And you know what's funny? I've watched like the first two episodes, and it's so hilarious because he's like an insecure guy, and every time he feels like giving up on himself, he just looks at boobs and suddenly gets the urge, suddenly gets the urge to fight again.

SPEAKER_03 39:10

Okay, so what's the fake?

SPEAKER_00 39:13

Okay, the fake one is um I'm switching back between my two pages. The fake one is killed by every blow in mortal reflection.

SPEAKER_00 40:30

Okay, okay. Ooh, shit. So I feel like I've seen the first one on Crunchyroll. Like scrolling past it, please, teacher. I could be wrong. Um, but the ghoul school sounds hella interesting. Um I think the middle one, I think B, the second one, is the one you did.

SPEAKER_03 41:03

Alright, you're actually right.

SPEAKER_00 41:05

Hey, I finally got one.

SPEAKER_03 41:07

Yeah, I wonder if I'm a I'm probably not gonna get any. You're really good at this.

SPEAKER_00 41:14

I have I have less though. You have more than me, so we'll see. We'll see how it goes. You can you can play your cards, and I don't know if you're just going down your list in order or if you're like picking ones, but you can if you feel like picking your your best ones, then we could do that too. Alright, so we've both done two, or yeah.

SPEAKER_03 41:39

Yeah, we've both done two.

SPEAKER_00 41:40

So do you want to switch it up or do you want to keep going? I feel like this is pretty fun.

SPEAKER_03 41:45

It is fun. Do you want to do one more and then we can get into the topic?

SPEAKER_00 41:50

Yeah, let's do one more each. Um so what are we points wise? You're two and I'm three?

SPEAKER_02 41:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:56

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:58

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 42:01

So now um here's your three options. First anime. Crunchyroll. Rascal does not dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. And Reborn as a vending machine.

SPEAKER_03 42:40

Oh God. Um Damn, is there actually an anime called Crunchyroll? That's my that's my hang up. I'm like, is there actually like is there actually an anime called Crunchyroll? Because like also, like, what the fuck would an anime about a vending machine be?

SPEAKER_00 43:06

Right?

SPEAKER_03 43:08

Uh um. I feel like there would be some kind of copyright issue. So I'm gonna go with crunchy roll, but I feel like I don't know, I could be very wrong, but I'm gonna go with crunchy roll.

SPEAKER_00 43:30

Good job, you finally got one. Yay! Oh shit!

SPEAKER_03 43:34

Oh shit. Yeah, the law got me. I have it because of the law.

SPEAKER_00 43:40

I figured it was so simple that it sounded like it could be an anime, and I was like, I wonder if you know, because I knew that would be the hang up. Is like, there's no way. But at the same time, it's like if there was an anime called that, it probably wouldn't be on there. You know what I mean? So, would you really know? Anyway, whatever you want to call it I have my senpai is annoying.

SPEAKER_03 44:34

I fell in love with my senpie. And anyway, I'm falling in love with you.

SPEAKER_00 44:46

That last one sounds cute. I I would actually watch that. Um I don't recognize any of these, but I do like the themes that you're doing here. Um could you repeat the first two again?

SPEAKER_03 45:03

My senpai is annoying.

SPEAKER_00 45:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 45:06

I fell in love with my senpai.

SPEAKER_00 45:09

Okay, I think the second one. I think I fell in love with my senpai is the one you made.

SPEAKER_03 45:15

I did make that one.

SPEAKER_00 45:16

Oh, nice, nice. The only reason I was able to figure that last one kind of stuck with me. I loved the the the name of that one. Interested interested me immediately. But that first one I feel like I've probably scrolled past.

SPEAKER_02 45:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 45:30

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:33

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 45:34

For sure.

SPEAKER_02 45:35

So all right.

SPEAKER_00 45:37

There was another subject, yeah, you wanted to jump into. It's very interesting. I'm I'm gonna be up front. I'm gonna take the audience's seat when it comes to this one because you sent me that study. Hell no, that shit was like 58 pages, my guy. No, it wasn't, it was 10. Yeah, bro, they nobody got time for that when you do it on the I saw that. I thought it was gonna be two pages. Bruh, I saw fucking 10, 12, 58 pages. I was like, hell yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:12

It was 10. It was 10. You were you were exaggerating so fucking hard right now.

SPEAKER_00 46:19

But I was like, you know what? I'm I'm uh Danny's the teacher, I'll be the student. You know what I'm saying? Enlighten me because it's very interesting stuff.

SPEAKER_03 46:29

Okay, so um, in the world of texting me, she's going to Harbor Freight.

SPEAKER_00 46:37

Nice.

SPEAKER_03 46:39

Bye, Tara. Have a good time at Harbor Freight. Love you.

SPEAKER_00 46:43

Best place to get tools for a good price.

SPEAKER_03 46:46

Yeah, she got a hundred dollar gift card from uh her mom for Christmas.

SPEAKER_00 46:50

Ooh, that's a great gift. You can get so much with a hundred dollars at Harbor Freight.

SPEAKER_03 46:55

Uh-huh. Anyway, okay. So um I found this study. I'm like, I'm such a nerd too. Um, so I found this study, and so in the world of academia, um, people talk about the idea of resiliency a lot. So, do you first of all, do you know what the word resiliency means or resilient?

SPEAKER_00 47:17

Yeah, it's like uh it holds up over time, it's strong, it it's withstands the test of time, right?

SPEAKER_03 47:24

Yeah, kind of. Um, specifically, like when we're talking about resiliency in the world of academia, they typically mean the ability to overcome. And like, because usually it's applied to like human nature, like being able to overcome obstacles and um things in life. So um this study, it's it's called um Naruto, a study of resilience and growth in Japanese anime. Animation. And it was done by um Alfin Rosida, and I could be, I'm probably fully like fucking these names up, and I apologize. And Nyla Roma, uh, from the Department of Information and Culture, uh Vocational College, Universit Universita's Daipan Daipanegero, um, Indonesia. It's done in Indonesia. Um so essentially the entire uh study they go over um kind of this idea of resiliency. They talk a little bit about how like in earlier Japan they had these um like they have this like concept of uh like chivalry that came from the the Bushido era, and um it was like these values of like courage and like um essentially like these the humility and obedience and all of that shit. Yeah, exactly. And then all of those values can kind of be seen in like the Naruto um narrative, and um a lot of times in academia they they talk a lot about resiliency and they talk about resiliency in a lot of stuff, especially like when it comes to education. We talk about resiliency in the idea of like nature versus nurture, and like how how does how does like your environment affect your ability to overcome the things that are happening around you? Um and like how how does it affect your ability to move on and like make something of your life? If if you're growing up in an environment that is poor, are you able to actually make something of your life? And um the the article here uh talks about how Naruto is a really good it's a really good study of resilience and growth because the way that Naruto grows up and he like he grows up as an orphan and he goes through so many different like challenges and everything that he struggles through, but he also has mentors and it talks a little bit about mentorship as like a way to combat things and it discusses like the relationship between mentorship and resiliency, and like essentially like it kind of it indirectly poses that question of like what happens with a child that doesn't have that mentorship after being exposed to those kind of conditions, and like I think a really good example, like I I go back to this all the time. Like they're the perfect like the perfect example is like the juxtaposition of like my sister and I, right? So growing up, Nikki and I had like the same life, right? We had we both we both grew up in fucked up conditions. Um we were both very much alone. We both like our our mother was an addict, my dad left me, I was alone, Nikki had to take care of herself. The biggest difference, I think, between the way that we grew up is that I had goals and like I had something that I was looking forward to, and I had mentors. Yeah, like like I had Miss Cotto, and then later on I had Shelly, and like I've always had people outside of our family that kind of looked out for me and kind of like continued to like encourage me, and Nikki never had that, she only had the family to lean on, and the family only put like further pressure on her.

SPEAKER_00 52:24

You know, can I if I could interject because you're you're talking about something super personal, and I I don't want to interrupt your wisdom because uh no, absolutely, because this a lot of people can really relate to what you're talking about, but you particularly right now are relating to the story of Naruto in many ways. Naruto, in a way, is all about mentorship from the very first time.

SPEAKER_03 52:48

Yeah, because he had Jiraya and he was.

SPEAKER_00 52:50

Well, yeah, he had Iruka Sensei, episode one, he was all alone until Iruka Sensei believed in him. You know what I'm saying? And Iruka Sensei literally took a fucking stab in the back to protect him, even though he was the fucking student that brought him the most trouble. You know, like um mentorship, having somebody there, and having a goal. Naruto from episode one was like, I'm gonna make you all respect me. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 53:18

I I wanna be Hokage. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 53:20

Yeah, exactly. And you know who didn't? Um, in another scenario, you're talking about siblingship was Itachi. Itachi never had a Jonin like Kakashi or Jirah or anybody like that to guide him because he was such a prodigy that he was outclassing 30-year-old men at like eight years old. So, like, Itachi, much like your sister, had no guidance and because of that ended up living a lifestyle that caused him to leave the village and be considered this and that, and he had to make some really hard choices uh for what he believed to be the right thing, but that's neither here nor there. Um I just wanted to interject and say because you know about Naruto, but you yourself haven't actually like really tapped all the way in, right? Like how how much of how much Naruto uh do you actually have under your belt, you know?

SPEAKER_03 54:14

I got all the way past the tune exams, um, and I got to the point I got to the point where uh just after uh Gara gets kidnapped and brought back.

SPEAKER_00 54:28

Oh, so you got a little bit of Shapudin, too. You you were reading the manga, right?

SPEAKER_03 54:34

No. Well, yes and no.

SPEAKER_00 54:36

I remember you and I were reading the manga in middle school.

SPEAKER_03 54:39

Yeah, yeah. That's where I got in the anime. That's where I stopped in the anime.

SPEAKER_00 54:43

Oh, I see.

SPEAKER_03 54:44

It's just after just after Gara came back from um getting and he was like the Hokage, or is it the Hokage? It's not called the Hokage for the Sand Village, is it?

SPEAKER_00 54:56

Kaze Kage.

SPEAKER_03 54:58

Yeah, the kazekage. He was he was can considered the kazekage.

SPEAKER_00 55:03

Yeah, yeah. Super awesome, by the way. One of the best reveals in the show. Oh, what happened to Gara after all this time? How's he doing? Oh, he's the fucking kazeikage. What?

SPEAKER_03 55:14

Yeah. So that's where I got from the anime.

SPEAKER_00 55:19

But okay, so yeah, carry on.

SPEAKER_03 55:22

Yeah, so that's kind of what I was getting at. Is like, um, in the study they talk a little bit about the mentorship and like the importance of mentorship and everything, and having having goals and having mentorship, and how that um how that affects your resiliency, essentially. And like, yes, your resiliency is like you you go like it is a little bit about you, but it also is about your outside circumstances, and like you're gonna go through shit, but like it's really important to have those people, and like you make a really good point of like, yes, this person was like he was outranked, like Itachi was outranked by so many people, but it doesn't matter because he didn't have the emotional like intelligence to actually move on. Like, an eight-year-old does not have the emotional intelligence to carry on, so uh the eight-year-old needs that emotional uh guidance in order to become resilient and to carry on. So yeah, that's kind of like that's kind of the the like study in a nutshell, essentially, was just that like the idea is that Naruto is a really good study on emotional resiliency, it shows a really good relationship between um like resiliency and mentorship and um goals and like how these things like affect one another, and this is kind of what like the formula is for people moving forward, like it it should it's kind of something like it's something that in academia we uh we like to look at a lot and we should essentially like okay what is the formula to actually keep people from failing in life? We we see people and students and children and everything that go through so much shit all the time. How do we stop the cycle? And like, is this the formula question mark? And I think very well, like especially like when applied to my own life and like seeing the differences, I think very much so, and applied to your fucking life, like you had mentors, you had fucking and you had that shown and ass attitude of like of like believe it, and like you had goals and you had things that you wanted to do in life, and like even though you didn't like you didn't necessarily know right away, like I wanna like spoilers, and I remember like I remember you wanted to like you didn't believe that you were going to live past a certain age, like I remember that in high school, yeah. I still think there was a part of you that knew that you were meant for something more.

SPEAKER_00 58:39

Yeah, yeah, definitely. Um, I still feel that way now in a way. Um but yeah, it's true. I did have kind of the the shonen protagonist attitude as a kid, and I did have mentors growing up, and you know what's weird about being in your fucking 30s is uh you have to look even higher for mentors, and some of your mentors end up becoming uh or end up coming from your peers. People that are either your age or maybe even a little bit younger than you. You know, I I have a friend of mine who's a few years younger than me, and he's taught me a lot in these last couple of months, and uh I'm super grateful to know him, you know what I mean? Um shout out to all the friends out there who show us love and support when nobody else does in the times that nobody else knows about. Danny, you know things that probably nobody in the world has ever heard about me, you know what I'm saying? Um so like I don't know. We gotta appreciate the people that are here for us, and that's another thing about Naruto. You are my friend. It's all about bonds, bro. Sasuke, Naruto. I I always thought the only way that Naruto would make sense as a story is if they were gay. And I'm not trying to say that, like, oh, you know, I'm not trying to chip them. I'm not trying to do like what people do with My Hero Academia with Bakugo and Deku. I'm just saying there's no way that a man will lay in his bed tossing and turning month after month, year after year, wanting his homie to be back that badly. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's no fucking way. If at the end of the show they held hands and they kissed, everybody would be pissed, but it would make perfect sense. That's all I'm trying to say.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:45

You're right, you're right.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:47

So Danny. When they when are when are you and I gonna read Naruto arc by arc and do a podcast for each arc? Because it won't take very long if we do it by the manga.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:03

You could read me the it when you buy me the manga. I have the manga.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:07

I can ship them to you if you ship them back. I have the manga from one all the way to 27.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:14

That's how it looks actually. You know what? I was contemplating coming down for uh spring break.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:21

Nice.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:22

I don't know if spring break's actually around Easter, but I was contemplating coming down for spring break. So if I do, then maybe I'll just grab them and then I'll come back down.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:33

I mean, depending on how depending on how long you're here, fucking uh we could do one while you're here.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:43

We just do it arc by arc. We would do the the the original Naruto only has five arcs. You know what I mean? It's uh the mist village, tuning exams, uh Tsunade and Itachi. Um what's after that? Uh Sasuke Leaves the Village. Oh, that's it. Yeah, that's literally it. So the original Naruto only has four arcs. It's very short.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:10

Um Yeah, I I wouldn't mind. I I wouldn't mind reading it.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:16

Yeah, it's so much faster when you read it. There's no filler. I mean, when you watch anime, they're trying to fill a time slot. They're trying to figure out how much of the chapters they're gonna use.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:28

Dude, yeah, the I know I know One Piece is still fucking long even in book form.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:33

Well, yeah. Yeah, One Piece is pretty much one for one with the episodes. No, not really. It's kind of off by like 200.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:42

Um just 200.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:45

Yeah, they're they're they're a little bit ahead of us.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:48

Yeah. Um, there was something that I was going to say, but I forgot.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:56

You want to uh jump back into the game?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:59

Yeah, let's do a few more before we close out.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:01

Hell yeah. Let's do it. You want to go first this time or wait? Who went last time? Do you remember?

SPEAKER_03 1:03:12

I think I went last.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:14

Okay, so it's my turn to to say one?

SPEAKER_03 1:03:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:20

Okay, so by the way, how crazy was it that the vending machine one is real?

SPEAKER_03 1:03:30

I think that's fucking hilarious.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:33

Right. Okay, so here's your three options. Option one. Free with an exclamation point. I should have been born as a class S wizard. My little monster.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:59

I feel like I'm cheating on this one because I know free is my fate one of my favorite animes.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:06

Oh, I never heard of it. Wow.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:08

It's yeah, it's a swimming anime.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:11

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:12

And and My Little Monster is also an adorable anime. Highly recommended. Oh, so you have not seen it.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:18

Okay, get your point. Get your point, shit.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:21

Yeah, so it's the other one that is not those two.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:25

Ah, that was a good one too. I should have been born as a class S wizard.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:29

Yeah, that is a good one. That is a good one. I feel like that actually is that might be a name.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:36

I chat GPT'd my things to make sure they didn't exist.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:41

AJ.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:44

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_03 1:04:45

Don't don't use chat GPT. Chat GPT is bad.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:49

No, no, no. Here hear what I'm actually saying. I didn't use ChatGPT to create them. I came up with them. And then I used chat to make sure that they didn't already exist. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 1:05:02

It don't matter. For every single thing that you put into the chat GPT, it uses so much water, like gallons and gallons and gallons and gallons of water, and that water cannot be reused.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:13

Oh shit. Fucking locked my game up. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:18

Last year, the data centers for Chat GPT used more water than every single bottling company in America.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:28

God damn.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:30

Yeah. I refuse. I have literally, I don't even know where to find Chat GPT. I refuse to use it.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:38

Huh. That's good to know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:41

It's very bad. It's very bad.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:43

I wonder if there's an alternative.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:46

AI in general is really bad.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:49

But see, here's the thing though, like, is Google is now considered AI as well. So like, can we not Google things? Like, how are we gonna download it research things?

SPEAKER_03 1:06:01

A sequel series from the old show Baki the Grappler, but it's got like a way crazier budget, and it's like the action is insane, the stuff they're doing is just fucking foul and gruesome with the level of strength these people have, as you can. The way our anime is so different, so fucking different, so fucking different, but you know what they have in common? They're both gay as fuck. Baki is so homoerotic, bro. Like, I I'm not gonna lie, like, I am enjoying it. I'm not Hating on it, but real recognize real. They've shown an entire penis. An entire big, strong, veiny penis.
