A chaotic love letter to Story Of The Year spirals from copyright hesitation into an improvised a cappella of Disconnected, with riffs on depression, presence, nightmares, and the urge to chase magic even when life feels off-kilter. We share road stories, a monkey encounter, and a hopeful nudge to go hear the real song.

• fan devotion to Story Of The Year and Disconnected
• copyright limits and creative workarounds
• dreams of playing guitar onstage despite doubt
• humor about lawsuits and judge show fantasies
• presence as a tool for anxiety and burnout
• road life, long drives, and odd club moments
• the monkey meet and greet outside the venue
• depressive swings, nightmares, and staying afloat
• closing push to stream the single and support the album

Please listen to them. I love you so much. It is February 14th. Go see Story of the Year.

SPEAKER_00:

Well that's loud. What the fuck there? Nuts that how the fuck? I'll figure that out later. I'll figure it out later. We'll do what we always do. We'll figure it out later. Hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Fuck Discombobulated. I'm your host, who?

SPEAKER_01:

Buddy Jane Cox. Make sure we're recording.

SPEAKER_00:

So I don't fucking you know. Anyway, welcome back. Welcome back to another beautiful episode of Discombobulated. And uh today's a very special day. Um, at least in my life. And so if you if you get excited about things that I get excited about, you might be um you might you might be if you listen on this podcast, you might be excited to learn that Story of the Year has a new song that just came out today. Um and uh I'm very excited. Uh I wanted to share it on the podcast, but then I asked, I asked um, you know, I asked Chat GPT. I was I was like, um, can you use a bunch of water to figure out if I just answer me this question that I could probably just text somebody? Um, can I play the new Story of the Year song on my podcast? Because anyone who would listen to this podcast who doesn't know of Story of the Year, that would be crazy. But if you don't know of that band, then you might want to hear um some of their new music. And so it came out. So um I just thought it would be fun to share that at the beginning of the episode of their new song. But again, as I said, it's illegal, and I, you know, as my I would get sued by my favorite band. I don't think I would have a problem if I was getting sued by my favorite band because we would all have a date and it would be a court date. We would have to all be arranged or what um playing for I'm playing for an arrangement. If you know whose story of the year is, that's a good joke. And um, but also if you know what legal terms are and you're like, that's actually not what that is, well, here we go. And if you're like, we can fucking see that you have a computer and you could ask the computer, I don't. Do you see how far I'd have to turn away? No, thank you. No, thank you. No, thank you. But um, yeah, I uh I have to, I would, I was, I was excited to share the song with you guys, but then I realized that I legally can't. And so um, I have to put this here so it stops like rubbing against me. That would work, right? Same thing with this one. Okay, cool. Um, don't even know if this is gonna work. Don't even know if you'll be able to hear it through my headphone, so then we'll maybe have to take it down. But um my favorite band story of the year has a new album coming out called A-R-S-O-N. And you're like, that's R Son. I'm like, yes, but it's A, period, R, period, S, period, O, period, N. Period. You never know on the last one sometimes. And does it start with it? So you have a balance. Who gives a flying fuck? But they have a new song that came. I'm I I would already be playing the song if I could. I spent my morning uh racking my little brain. Racking my little brain, you know, just and then was like, maybe I'll just oh shit. Story of the year, my favorite band, new song out. I'll listen to this song. And I hate to say this, um, um, but it is it's like the only song I'm gonna listen to for a long time. Um, I love this song. Um, it is it's called Disconnected. And um, yeah, I guess I should just I should probably just get to playing the song. Play the song, Schneebly. But I am gonna play it. And since like it's in Story of the Year is a new song that's come out on their album. They released it, they're releasing it little bits at a time. Um, so since Story of the Year has a new song coming out, I figured I would share it with you guys. Um, but since I can't fucking share it with you guys because that's illegal, uh, I have to um I'm gonna have to just I'm gonna have to sing it for you. And I'll do and then you're like, well, that's I don't really like I hate a cappella. So it's but do no fret, uh, because story of the year is a new song out, and I'm going to not only sing the words the best that I know, and um I'm going to also do all of uh the I'm gonna you'll know how the song goes because I'll um I'll be your headphones. So Story of the Year is a new song coming out, I'll be your headphones for this. Um and afterwards you're gonna be like, that's so good, I should go listen to the original. Um but you might like this version more. I don't know, and it's not a different version. I'm just saying it's just me uh singing the song. And but again, and doing all of the parts. So again, this is um their new song from their album Arson. From their album Arson. It's a song Disconnected by Story of the Year as uh renditioned by um Robert Jacobs. Here we go. Nope. Okay, here we go. Okay, it kind of starts with like a tropical. I don't really know how to do do because it's all that I've got!

SPEAKER_02:

It's at the bottom so hard, my heart stop!

SPEAKER_00:

So good. The drums are like bass is like boom boom boo-doo doo-doo.

SPEAKER_02:

Hey, Miss Calls.

SPEAKER_00:

That's like the whole band. It's like there's a guitar drum. You know how a band is. Wake up, no. I miss I don't sleep too much. Car goes beep, beep, beep. That can't be the right words. I would die a million times to feel that way I did one time. Kind of a missed opportunity dance. If you haven't already switched to it because you like this this I'm sick of being connected, everything I've seen. That's how the you know the guitar. You know how bad you know how band is on me.

SPEAKER_02:

Hit the bottom, cuz it's all that I've got.

SPEAKER_00:

Hit the bottom so hard, my heart stopped.

SPEAKER_03:

Nope.

SPEAKER_00:

Nope, they say something different there. It's very good.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm doing uh I wanna die a million times. Just one a thousand times. I'm wanna pick you see.

SPEAKER_02:

I wanna see where Bobby Jaycox P what the fuck? I'm sick of being dead! From everyone I see. I'm sick of being connected down on me. It's all that I've got!

SPEAKER_00:

We all love Bobby Jaycox. What the f okay, so let's should we pause? No, let's just finish the song. I it's all that I've got. Kind of like an outer spacey, like kind of like uh kind of like you're fighting for your life in outer space, but then you're like, I'm disconnected, kind of like discombobulated there.

SPEAKER_02:

Disconnected from everything I've seen. I'm sick of being trash. Crashing down on me. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00:

I've seen I'm sick of being disconnected. Bobby J. It's all they're talking about, is me. Kind of missed opportunity there. Oh, he did it later. Okay. We all love Bobby J. Cox. Okay, you couldn't go listen to the song. It is literally, that's exactly how it goes. Um that's crazy. So um, yeah, that's either part of the episode or um I watched it and was like, there's no way I can release that. But I probably did because who gives a fuck? Uh but that's how the new song goes, and you could probably hear it through my headphones still, so there's probably a chance that it still won't fucking go through or whatever. Um yeah, but that's the um that's their new song, and I'm I was excited to show it to you. Um, I would have liked to have shown you the real song. I really, really, I really would have. I really, really, really, really would have. But you know, we can't legally we can't. So instead of um doing what we want, um, sometimes you gotta do that. And they mentioned me quite a lot in the song. My podcast is called Discombobulated, they have a song called Disconnected. Now listen, hey, I I would say it's parallel thought. I would never try to, you know, I wouldn't want to get sued by my favorite band, but I also really wouldn't want to sue my favorite band. But again, if either one of those have to happen, um, you know, that's just where we're at in life. Yeah. You know, sometimes you sue your favorite band, you sometimes you sue your favorite band. And uh some people are like, well, I would never do that. I'm like, well, you didn't get the opportunity to meet them and get all their phone numbers and then frame them for fraud. Or the fact that every time you're hanging out with them, they're like, Listen, I'll leave my wife for you. I'm like, okay, listen, I'm a fan of your band. Don't ruin it for me by hitting on me every single one in the band. But um, and I'm straight, and I and that's not important to me, but it is important to a lot of people. And so I like to um I like to remind people that I am straight. And um, but I don't care what DMs you send me, if that makes sense. Do you know? I know how to ignore um, I know how to ignore a cock on Instagram. I'm not scared. Um I just acapella sang my favorite band song, and they're and right now they're probably I I honestly I don't even know if they would listen to this podcast, but I do think that they probably have paused the episode called their management, and they were like, okay, listen, we missed a couple opportunities in that song. We're also probably missing an opportunity to have Bobby just be in the band, and they're like, it's really not a great, um, it's really not great to, you know, to like add people to bands if they're your fans. And I'm like, well, I've heard Black Party did it, and you're like, well, who told you that? I'm like, one person. So you never know. Um, but you know, sometimes, you know, you kind of want to just try to explore just any options that you can. Um, you know, just trying to, just so you don't have to sue them because, you know, maybe one time I was on their podcast, and legally, yes, they did say that um they did say that I could play guitar with them on stage. Did they say that? And is it recorded? Yes. And have I recorded it on my own device in case they try to scrub it from the internet? One fucking hundred fucking thousand percent I did, yes. And if you're like, well, maybe they'll let you do it tomorrow. Well, I haven't been practicing, so I'm not ready. We are gonna do it when I'm ready. Because they also told me I could open for them, which God bless I did. I got to open for my favorite band. I don't know if you guys know, it's a lot of responsibility, and in your head, you kind of always picture what it might be like, something like that. And then you go out there and you're like, oh, no one knows me. I, if was you, would also be like, Who the fuck? Do you guys watch our music videos? Fuck yeah! Do you remember this guy? Why the fuck would we remember people in the so this guy? So that's you get to do that, and that was fine. But I the good the playing guitar or whatever, you know, that's the thing I want, you know, that's what I want to do. But don't, you know, don't just like do the and here's what's crazy is they have been playing, and Ryan did throw me his guitar, didn't throw me his guitar, but well, I don't know if you know it would be cooler to say he threw his guitar, and our electrons are never touching, so if anything, he did kind of toss it. Like I if so, but he just put it, he just handed me his guitar at a show, and that doesn't sound as cool. But I'm gonna, if you want to picture it, he threw his guitar like he was fucking Thor, and only I could catch, I actually I caught it or whatever. Um, but just because he handed it to me, and so he hands me his guitar at a show, they're playing, and I think he's handed me the guitar, and I'm like, I have no fucking idea how to play this song. I believe it was in the shed. I don't, I'm gonna say I'm gonna be honest, I don't remember because he handed me his guitar, and then without hesitation, I put the strap over me and was like, I will go out there and go, I will I will go out there and make an ass of myself because this might be my only opportunity. But luckily, he was just trying to get him and another guy to come out there, and people were gonna backflip, and then he wanted his guitar right back. Um so that was pretty cool, you know. I, you know, one day, one day, but um, if not, again, I will find the best attorney and take them to court, and then like it'll be like a judge duty situation. They'll be like, all right, you They said you could play guitar with them and they won't let you. I'm like, yes. Okay. Um how good are you guitar? I'm not very fucking good at guitar. But they're your favorite band? Yes. Okay. Do you not think that would like somehow maybe hinder the show? Shut up. If you believe in something, you can do it. I start saying this on Judge Judy. It's like it's a courtroom. They're like, the rulings are final. I'm like, you if you believe you can't achieve, I like take a step out and she's like, don't step closer to the podium. My fucking bailiff will take you out. I'm like, listen, listen, America. I start talking to the camera. I deserve to play guitar on stage, even if it's bad with story of the year. And they're like, why? And then you start to really think it out, and you're like, I don't know, I didn't really think it out. That's what they would do. I'd have like my exit interview on Judge Judy when they clearly win. Like, I have to pay the money, and then they go, It's Your Honor, we're only here because he's suing us. We know he doesn't have money, we don't want any of his money. He's gonna we would like for your bailiff to take us out so he doesn't try to hang out with us on the way out. If that's lit, I swear to God, you don't have to pay for our meals, our flights. And I know your company does that. I know that's part of Judge Judy. Is that if I'm on Judge Judy, you pay for all the the cases are real, the rulings are final. I'm so happy that that's true. Thank you. Goodbye. Please watch him. We're leaving. And we actually have a lot of of these to do today. He put us on Judge Mathis, he put us on every we have to go to all the shows because even though he is suing us, he had the idea to be like, oh, I could do like I could do like kind of like a run, like a tour run where I'm suing my favorite band on TV, and then at the end being like, you can see me in fucking Des Moines, Iowa on March 14th. You know what I'm saying? Like stuff like that. Um you can come see me in Des Moines, Iowa fucking on March 14th. Unless Story of the Year books a show that day, or the lawsuit takes place that place. But I do think that the show will probably be happening there. Um, so yeah, there's um yeah, I would uh I would sue them, but so I can't wait for the video to come out and then you see me playing on stage, and it'll be like whenever you see like have you ever seen like those videos of Corey Feldman playing guitar or like the one of the Jonas brothers, but like the guy will pause it and they'll be like, okay, he kind of knows how to play guitar. They're gonna do that to me, but they're gonna be like, absolutely, he doesn't know how to play guitar, which I don't. I know how to play story of the year songs a couple times if I'm really in the zone. If I'm really in the zone. Bob, this whole episode's about story of the year. I would say most of this podcast is about story of the year, sprinkled with um the uh the life of a showgirl. Which is me. I'm the I'm the show girl. Uh said like moaning myrtle. Is your brain okay? Mm-mm. I do like that. I'll get comments on this podcast that people think I don't read, but of course I do. There's one of them, and they'll be like, this guy's unhinged, but this is hilarious. And I'm like, that's the nicest thing you could have ever said to me. So thank you. Like, don't ever show me that again. And you're and then your Spotify DJ is like, ha, for sure. Now we're going to a devrastal. Hey, what's up? I'm your DJ. You thought this would be cool. I'm gonna interrupt the fucking best parts of songs, the intros and outros for sure. Oh, and then if you skip too many times, I might call you out on that. Also, here's an ad from ICE. You're like, what in the fuck? I do think that's what's crazy, is I do think most people are pretty against ice. And I don't think if like I think we can all agree once Joe Rogan is like, we're all then like, okay, yeah, we all are in agreement. Yes, which I like Joe Rogan. I've said that before. I'm like, I think he makes a lot of good points. I moved to Austin, his club's the one I you want to work at, am I? Not necessarily, but who cares? You know, I'm a comedian. These are just houses, you know. I don't have to live in, I can't live in every house. But um, yeah, I'm you know, you if you watch, you gotta watch Ice Raid, then you might not like all of that. But um, you know, the bass player, my favorite band story of the year, pretty much only wears t-shirts that says like fascists are gay, and then it'll be like, but I like gay people, but they're like gay in the old time, and it'll just keep getting small, it's like a it's smaller and smaller, and you love that guy because you're like, that's so cool that you do that. And then the other, and then some of the other guys in the band they have shirts that are like beer, and then um Tupac, and uh and then soon Bobby Jacks. And I will probably try to go shirtless and in my head think I have abs, but I'll just look like a regular person. Like I'll probably, you know, kind of I kind of look like that uh the alien, what's the alien's name from um American Dad, where he's like, hi, like the kind of gay alien or whatever. Um, which listen, I don't I'm not being me. I love I have so many, my brother's gay, uh, my cousin's gay. I have um another cousin who's like it was gay, and I didn't say that. That's what they said, that's what their mother told me. I was like, Oh, I didn't know that about him. Yes, was, but now like is not, and I don't care either way, but I did tell you that. I'm like, got it. Um, that's great. Uh well, we're all moving, we're all moving along like I know you do. But, anyways, we uh yeah, we're excited. Um, you know, and story of the year. Also, if you're like, oh my god, you know, if any if you ever there's a time you think I'm homophobic, which I'm not, I could tell you some stories, and you'd be like, well, a straight guy wouldn't do that, but it also isn't doesn't make you but also um this album's coming out and I can't wait for it. Um yeah, which like I said, yeah, I mean disconnected and discombobulated. Are they I mean, could you find two more similar words? Probably not, but that's okay because I'm not upset about it. I am going to call a lawyer and just to make um just to have a little conversation with them and just you know, um, just be like I live out of my car, you know, would financially this be like good to do? And then um they'll be like, to sue your favorite band. I'm like, listen, not for monetary gain. I just think that's like the judge duty run. I have like a tour idea. And they're like, we we don't like this at all. And then they'll be like, we've been watching your podcast. Are you an adderall? I'm like, I swear the fuck to God, no. I actually was persuasive. Described it and stopped taking it because I think it's like you ever see a car that's fast, and then they do that thing where you're like, damn, and then you hear it later going. That's where my brain already is. I can't if I go any faster, I'm clearly going off the highway. And there's no autobond for me. The only autobond is like stand-up, and sometimes I go on stage, and even for stand-ups, they'll be like, Do you ever think about like controlling your thoughts? I'm like, disconnected. Um, yeah, so great. I uh yeah, that's um that's where I'm at. I'm also uh also I've also story of the year's songs helped me out so much. And have you ever seen that video where the guy he like gets back from Vietnam and he shows up on John Lennon's like front porch and he's like fucking are these songs about me? And John's like, no, and he's like, Are you sure? Because I just literally got me through Vietnam. Like he's just walking through Vietnam being like, that's song's about me. I'm like, she loves you, yeah. He's like, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like this, he's like, and then he's even asking, he's like, Are you sure that even this song? And they're like, brother. He's like, how could they be about you?

SPEAKER_01:

They're about Yoko Ohno or me. You're making a silly face at Yoko no. When you hear a song, it's me. After I just made a silly face at Yoko Oh no. Or bought I bought I bought I bought uh I bought these glasses and I wrote a song. But there's definitely it's not about John from Calya Hogan Falls.

SPEAKER_00:

It's definitely it's no, I'm sorry. I would love, and that's like that's how that interaction is what story of the year has to have with me. Sometimes whenever I like show up at their shows and like sneak past security, and they're like, How the f who keeps letting them just like you so disconnected? You don't you don't hear it. You don't be like discombobulated, disconnect, you don't hear it. Okay, that's fine. No, no, no. So that's cool. That's cool, it's cool. They're about your wives. Oh, okay, cool, cool, cool. Where are they right now? Did they come to the fucking show? No, did they oh they didn't? Oh, they did, yeah, they did give birth to your children. That is cool, but they didn't drive to Philadelphia. Oh, they did, yeah, okay, cool. I'm gonna fucking sue you guys. Honestly, this podcast, I don't even know who it's for at this point. And even I don't even think the people in Story of the Year would listen to it. I don't think the people in the Discord. This one's a this one's a Hail Mary just for me, which I think it's 1-1-1. I think this episode 1-1-1. That's good luck. Um, but no, I'm doing okay. I uh I am depressed, and sometimes when you get depressed, you get manic. And through that manicness, I'm still, you know, just breathing through it. You know, maybe you guys have to do that too. Maybe you get so fucking unbelievably stressed that you go, you know. And I did that the other day. I did like try to calm myself down. And sometimes, whenever you become more present, I s this is the only magical thing I will say. Sometimes when you become more present, things do occur. I don't know how to explain it. I swear to God, it happens. It's happened, it happened the other day in Huntsville, Alabama. It happened a couple months ago when I was on a plane. I was sometimes I was just I was stressed because my plane was delayed, and then I literally was like, just be present. I did. I tried to think of like, you know, there's like a Bill Murray thing where he's like, sometimes I go forever without like remaining present. And I always I think about that a lot. So I try to be present and then I look up and I swear where the fuck to God, weird Al Yankovic is walking towards me, and I get to I'm like, oh. And so then I did that, and like those things happen. And the other day, um, yeah, it also happened. I was like, we uh I did a show, I was on the road of Tatum, we went to Huntsville. And you know, sometimes you're on the road, like I'm just like, I'm doing this, I'm setting up our merch, you know, we're about to we're just tired. I've I drove there, which was a 12-hour drive, and I know I have a 12-hour drive home, so it's like there's it's just a it's a lot, and so I was like, you know, kind of stressed. And then as luck would have it, I was just like, you know what? But you're this is your dream. You're so lucky, even if it's terrible, a job that you hated would be you know, sometimes worse, I think. And I'm like, you're right, talking to myself, trying to in the moment, and then I hear I hear my buddy Elliot, the host, go, Did you know someone brought a monkey into the show? I was like, Excuse me, and then he was like, Yeah, so we apparently they couldn't bring the you know the monkey inside because it's you know a fucking monkey. You can't, even though they were the people because like the people the amazing people at Love It Live, Stand Up Live, uh, the in Huntsville, Alabama, an incredible club, been going there since 2017 when they opened, been going there for a long time. They the person brought the monkey and they're like, We were absolutely so sorry, we fucking cannot bring them. You can't bring them, they didn't say fuck. I'm saying fuck because I'm reenacting the story. But that was like, you can't, you know, you can bring a monkey inside if you'd like. Um, but to just somewhere else. And they're like well, it's a service monkey, and they're like, Do you hear yourself? And so they took the service monkey away, and then so then uh Elliot's like, no, dude, I think we're gonna meet a monkey. And then we saw me and him start talking. I'm like, well, what kind is it? Because like if a monkey's too small, it's not fun. Um, but then if it's like too big, I'm kind of scared that it'll like, you know, it might rip my face off or whatever. And I literally said, I was like, you know, maybe like the smallest it could be like is like the Ross Geller, or maybe bigger, would you know, any a little bigger, you know, something that like you know, it like it would like take my glasses off, and I'd be like, ha ha. They have like a whole Robin Williams meeting that uh ape thing. But yeah, they had like the kind of like Ross Geller kind of, and it was like a little baby, her name was Molly. And so after the show, we got to go outside and meet this monkey, and uh it was so cute. I honestly sometimes because I walk into a room because of how high energy I am, and because I'm like whatever, I know it radiates like intensely, but it is it is loving. I do have like a loving, so I come in and I'm like, oh like I know I'm loud, but like this monkey's being so chill, and then I get to pet the monkey. I'm like, oh my god. I don't think you're supposed to say that. I know pet the monkey or whatever like means jerk off, but I thought I'm literally petting a monkey, and so I'm like petting this monkey with like the back of my finger because I learned that with cats, and I'm like, I know it's a different, but so I'm like doing this, and the monkey, I have video of it being so chill. Everyone else starts petting the monkey, and it starts clearly biting them. All the staff, everyone, and again, like we're outside. I'm not saying this isn't, but like everyone's like, Can I pet the monkey? Like a couple fans, a couple of people, and they go to pet, and this monkey was so sweet, but definitely fucking for sure biting everyone. Not me. I actually tried again. I was like, I wanna for I got it, no bites. I got a smile, I got that smile where you're like, Are you chill or are you about to rip everyone's nuts off of their body? We don't know, and again, I'm not trying to say, I'm not trying to be gross. That's that's what happens. Monkeys will rip your face and genitals off and then um have no remorse because that's what that's what I learned from a Key and Pill movie. So, but anyways, they uh the nuts didn't get rid of it I've heard that in a lot of so um and then also I have a my uncle said he met a monkey once at a like a lady's house, and which I would never do that. If it's like a if you bring it out in the public, you definitely got here somehow. But if you're out in the wilderness, I'm not coming to you where the monkey is like who is you know what I mean? And my uncle, like apparently, yeah, like someone like unzipped the monkey unzipped his pants. That's like a story they told a lot. Like the monkey unzipped my his pants, and he was like, ah, and then she like hit him in the head, and the monkey was like, ah, you know, and then um they uh fled the scene, I guess. I don't know what happened from there. They didn't really tell me, they just like to say the part where it's like, you know, I'm like that's a little too close for comfort. But yeah, we got to meet this monkey and it was biting everybody, and then Tatum is meeting the monkey, but now everyone has kind of met the monkey, and I'm like, oh dude, I even left the merch booth, go get a video of her meeting the monkey, and I'm like, careful, it's kind of biting everyone. And so then, and I'm like, not hard, but definitely like uh and it's like and she when she's doing it, she they were like, Oh, she's playing, and we were like, What yeah, playing bite the fuck of you, and so she does that and she bites Tatum, and then now Tatum has a fucking red dot on her hand, and uh and listen, I'm not saying all monkeys have like uh smallpox or like whatever monkeys have, or you know, uh yeah, I don't know, whatever. I'm not saying they have sort of the year used to be called Big Blue Monkey. I it's one of my favorite bands. I respect monkeys. So the monkey bites her, and then you know, which which sucks because she definitely did start acting weird. She started being like, ooh, I mean, like um, like after the show, everyone's like getting drinks, and she's like, Do you guys have bananas? They're like, No, and she was like, Oh, fuck. Um Bob, you want to get a batch of bananas on the Yeah, she started acting like a monkey. And I thought that was kind of um, I thought that was kind of crazy. Um, because she was bit by and it doesn't have to be a radioactive monkey. If you get bit by a monkey, you might become a monkey. And or if you play the game Jumanji, I know that. I know that in the game Jumanji, if you do that and you lie, you become a monkey. Um and then the kids, you know, kids cry. It's not that my tail's in my asshole, or whatever. And so again, that's the if you've never seen the movie, I'm not just saying things. In the movie, he becomes a monkey, and I start talking about things and I have to explain it. But he the kid's a monkey and he's crying. Robin's like, dude, I'm not scared. You don't gotta be scared. And then he's like, it's not that. His tail was like, it's he was growing a tail, but he had jeans on. And I don't know if you know you can't have uh jeans on when you have a tail. I don't know if you knew that, but you can't, you can't you have to get them ripped open by Robin Williams. Oh, make sure I'm still recording.

SPEAKER_01:

Really? Mm-hmm. I just because if I'm not, what's it all for? I mean, it looks like it is. Like there's no way it could not be, but we are. We're almost episode.

SPEAKER_00:

You guys, you made it through the beginning. That's right. It was uh it's a good episode. It's a good episode, you know. Am I depressed?

SPEAKER_01:

Yes.

SPEAKER_00:

Am I looking for all the magic in life? Yes. Am I having nightmares? Yes. Are they the weirdest nightmares? Yes. Have you guys ever had a nightmare where you're um you're trying to not let anyone in the nightmare know you're there? Like you don't want to be rude in your own nightmare. That's pretty much what happened to me, is I like had a dream that I and I whatever. I but I like woke up and then like it's not like monsters, it was like people, but you were trying to be so quiet and like get out of there. But it was like a hotel room, so you're kind of like, well, I'm staying in this hotel room and I'm scared. So but I don't know if you guys ever have that, but I've been I had that. Um, and sometimes I do think I am a witch, which I will say this. Uh I met a witch, and if you meet a witch, and listen, do I believe you might be a witch? I I think, and I do believe in magic. I think anything's possible. But if you meet a witch, all you have to do is say one thing. I'm as a man, as if you're a woman, this doesn't necessarily work, and I'm sorry. Uh it might even work for non body for men, this doesn't work. You have to be, you could you'd have to have a bun, you'd have to be sitting like like this on a rock, and but they don't really believe but if you meet a witch, what you have to do is when they say they're a witch, say, oh my god, me too. They will quickly elaborate on how you're not. And I think that's like a I think that's like fun, you know. But I do believe in magic, and sometimes I feel like I can tell what's gonna happen. I can tell. But if I did, then I would know that my life was falling apart, you know. But sometimes you feel that happening, and it's like, you know, if you've ever you ever seen like where like, you know, it's like um, yeah, it's like it's a bad chart or whatever. When you see like a chart that goes bad, you know, that's where my life's at. My life's at like that part. And the people, and that's the interesting thing about being a person who's trying to make like a living in content is that you'll be unbelievably you'll be unbelievably sad, and then you can't tell anyone about it because they don't, they just and people are like, Yes, you can, and I'm like, You can't. And I'm not saying you can't, I'm saying I have tried and it's not a good idea, if that makes sense. And no one knows every, but I'll be you'll be sad and you'll be like, maybe I'll share that. And then you do, and you're like, that didn't work. And maybe I'm picking the wrong people to share it with, you know. Um, but sometimes you get so depressed, and sometimes you're like, I guess I'll just, you know, watch TikToks until my brain um thinks I understand what I need. And you'll be like, Well, you probably go to go to therapy. And I'm like, Have you seen my health insurance? I asked for a card and they were like, You want a card? I'm like, Yeah, so like when I go into places, you know, I have like a card and they're like, Yeah, here's the email. You print it out and laminate it. And okay, thank you. Um Do I get a doctor? You want a doctor? You fucking poor fucker. No, you're right. I probably shouldn't. Um I don't need a doctor. Um, because I'm so disconnected, but um, it's from my um it's from my um primary caregiver, for sure. Um that's for sure. I thought I had a burp, couldn't get it out. Um, but yeah, and I think there was something else I was gonna tell you, but I had, yeah, for sure. I am not um I'm not doing great, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I wouldn't even tell it if I wasn't or whatever, but like sometimes you're just in a bad way. Um oh, this is that's what I was saying, is I had a nightmare. I had a nightmare, and that was I was trying to be quiet, and like I said, I was trying to be like, I had a nightmare, and you know, I'm trying to sneak out of my own nightmare back to like wake up. It's like I woke up, you know, just like walked through the wrong portal, and I was like, ugh, this is gross. And so I tried to, you know, wake up from that and then forget it, but I couldn't. You can forget, you know, you forget so many dreams, like you know, you dream all the time, and I'm like, oh cool, I'm only remembering the bad ones. The ones I'm having that are bad. I don't remember the ones where I'm fucking and flying or whatever. Like, oh my god, we're in the stars. I definitely remember the ones where I'm like, oh my god, my heart hurts even when I'm asleep. Great, gravy. So yeah, and uh nothing matters, but it's not like in a bad way, it's not like in a way or whatever. It's like nothing matters where it's like go have fun, you know, and I mean that. It's like nothing's good, so I'm like, when are you gonna go go have fun? Um, get the fuck out of here and go have some fun. So that's you know, that's what I'm gonna do. But you know, I did I had a bad dream, and then I uh that's this will be the final thought is that yeah, I just had like a bad dream, and then I woke up. And then got the worst news about do you ever get have you ever gotten bad news that has compounded? Like you there's been bad news, but it was only like the tip of the iceberg. So then you find out the rest of the news and it shatters maybe everything you've ever known. Um, if that's happened to you, the Patreon is for you. Um, we don't talk about it on there, but I do sometimes my thoughts get lost harder. But on this one, they get lost just enough. I won't express too much, but if you're on the Patreon, dude, if you give me an extra buck, I'll tell you the real stuff. I'll tell you who I have sex with. And you'll be like, who?

It was like a bit people would do, is be like, you're jerk you, who you're jerking off in your hand looks like the word Jill. And then you'll be like, no, I'm fucking, um she goes to a different school. She actually's in college, you know. That's what you'd say when you were younger or whatever. Yeah, I'm off today.
