[Music]. are you been leaning out well thank you. that I've been on a feeding window which. is a funny way of saying intermediate. fasting intermediate intermediate. fasting I've got a reason I have Aston. sometimes intermittent intermittent.

thank you I'm like I feel like a farm. animal I like the feeding window analogy. because it just sounds funny like I just. eat out of a trough for eight hours and. then go into fasting okay that oh yeah. there's some around your neck full of. nuts. yeah means yeah just a feeding bag. around my neck at all times I just I. feed between ten and six and then and. then I fast so it's good for me because. my urges to eat all the time. and so by putting that restriction on.

myself I feel like it cuts down on a lot. of a late night snacking mmm extra meals. I'm all PM's yeah yeah extra meals eum's. make be mmm I used to say you grandma. never said that she - she do marmalade. let me come visit her for ten years at. one point in airline why you had beef. with your own grandma I didn't she had. beef with me I was too young I think to. have beef how was your how does your own. grandma have beef with you she had beef. with me she um there were some we had.

some discrepancies at the house and then. she said I couldn't come visit tell me. what happened you're being obscure well. no she said I ate some candies at her. house and I didn't I don't know if I eat. them or not you're making this [ __ ] up. no not you you don't get this you don't. get banished from your gram of this war. you can use term disbarred if you want. your grandma disbarred you over. somewhere there's classics. that's called flooded rose I hear more. your background is tough it would that. that was won't probably one of the what. kind of candies oh and here's the thing. oh I don't always I know what it was it.

was chocolate-covered cherries hmm and. your nerves it they made these good. cookies and I didn't get to have this. for a long time but ten years over some. as God's plan brah you know it gets oh. well well now that I know that that the. show is going what what were we talking. about cuz I was interested if we could. go take a step back yeah what were we. talking about barrel. bill burr you were talking about Oh. welcome to the bill burr recovery yeah I. went into therapy after that episode I'm.

not even really I'm not even being. kidding I mean I was having a depressive. episode for a long time right and I had. these antidepressants next to my bed for. a long time and not taking them no I. hadn't decided to take them yet I was. hesitant yeah and after that episode. bill burr I came home and I that's when. I started taking in I pressed. antidepressants that I went to therapy. Wow it was soul-crushing and II was it. so consumed because you felt like as an.

interviewer it was so crushing or just. like a zit on a human level like you. think do you know the levels where it. felt that it hits you right um. everything man my my fans were I don't. know a fan but audience were very harsh. as an interviewer I felt like a failure. it was just off it wasn't you know it. wasn't it didn't feel that bad but it. was the reaction the audience reaction. to it afterwards I mean I knew I had. goofed up and that it was a not the best. interview and I was such a big fan of.

Bilborough obviously whoo yeah he's he's. a legend and you just in your mind have. high hopes that you'll be able to yeah I. get something good at it yeah there's. expectations yeah I like but that that. there was people making like video. essays about how what a terrible you. know interviewer I know really that's. that's YouTube style that's kind of. stuff I'm I'm somewhat used to but yeah. that just felt I just it felt like a. rock bottom for me because I was having.

a hard time with the podcast and. interviews in general and that for me. was just kind of like the culmination of. a lot of oh like dress oh that's. interesting so it was like so in. hindsight though does it almost feel. like it was it was supposed to happen. like it was like oh I needed something. that you kind of made me look at stuff. or just gave me like a moment to reflect. well I definitely needed something to. push me because taking antidepressants. going to therapy was like the best. choice I ever made for me and my family. and professionally too I mean we had.

everything better. really so I mean if it wasn't that it. would be something else but. but that was a little bit of somehow it. was part of a catalyst it was it was a. few night alignment yeah yeah it was it. was that and I had him on a second time. somewhere recently and it went great. so I'm happy to hear that yeah he. reached out he said he wanted to do it I. was like god bless dude let's go there's. like Fear Factor for me. round two yeah everyone in my life the. first time let's go and yeah that's.

interesting yeah it was a yeah when he. came in here was a strange experience. man it was I don't know I just felt like. he was a different person not on. podcasts and he was on podcast it's. almost like but then also I didn't. really know him that great and so maybe. I just don't know how people are. that's true I I wonder if he listens to. these probably not oh I mean I doubt he. doesn't mean everybody's busy yeah he's. he doesn't care what we think about them.

I listen to some of those murder things. you know where people get murdered some. guy walking into the woods in the Joshua. Tree and [ __ ] never came out and how. do you hear that there's a podcast I. like missing people or something do you. feel like that when you talk about Bill. burr like a missing person like oh I. felt like it was a couple minutes after. as I was just kind of wandering around. you know but I I don't know I just you. know I did not know him that good let me. ask you this when you guys ended I mean. it was it was clearly you knew it wasn't. going well during or was it when you.

started the Reno I knew that there was. something uncomfortable I didn't know if. I didn't know I thought for a second. like maybe I was going crazy or always. like Vietnam you're getting in your head. you're what's going on well it's just an. uncomfortable most like oh well he and I. obviously there's only so much time that. we probably one of the reasons maybe we. don't talk that much is because we just. mind if I take these off no it's fine. it's because we shouldn't talk that much. you know. so I just thought here's a guy who is.

very he's exactly what I thought when I. if I really would have looked at it oh. here's a guy who maybe this is exactly. the way he is onstage there's not a way. for her there's no real difference you. know it's just he's just rambling kind. of like if he's unhappy he's unhappy and. he you know eternally disgruntled bright. he's kind of uh you know guy who's kind. of fighting against his own probably ill. wills and [ __ ] looks like all of us are.

in some weird ways but for him maybe. it's like a just a different battle and. also that he he likes to that he's the. center of attention a lot I think and so. it's he probably he might not be able to. really notice when how other people are. feeling or reacting that's kind of the. vibe that I got at the end and right so. the thing is that I think I feel like. most guests 99% of guests they're. they're more gracious you know they. won't take the opportunity if they see. you like are uncomfortable or you goofed.

up or maybe you said like when he sees. an opening he will he like attacks yeah. you know what I mean and it's the same. way as comedies like I mean that's why. he's so good at Connie but like he he is. unlike anyone else I've ever interviewed. because the second time when I. interviewed him I really just like. talked as little as I possibly could. yeah and that and that was Bette the. bass but you you obviously have to. handle each interview differently but he. was unlike anyone I had ever interviewed. because yeah and I don't even really.

interview he was one like it one like. why finish a sentence arias that time. because he is because he's not willing. to give you the benefit of the doubt you. know what I mean and he will he will. expose any chinks in her armor yeah cuz. for him that's comedy right right after. he's gonna make a moment out of it right. for me I'm like ah [ __ ] my fragile ego. and yet for me I think I'm used to I. think I'm I'm good at rip on people if. that's what we're doing I think I really. knew what we were doing.

yeah I think it's I think I thought. rollerskates to a [ __ ] sword that's. funny. yeah that's good that's a good no I. think um because in previous. conversations I had with them it. more of a communication about kind of. real stuff that was going on in my. career right questions I had you know. and I come it was kind of looking up to. him I think also in some way for me as a. role model mm-hmm you know and when you. get when you get a certain response from. someone you have expectations on in your. own mind they for me when I get a.

response to them that they don't they. don't realize that I see them that way. or it doesn't matter to them or whatever. and that's fine it's its own world I. built up in my head for some reason that. hits harder a little bit you know or it. like it's just a weird or dent but for. me also it's just like I'm not even a. [ __ ] interviewer dog you know I'm. saying like I don't know what I'm doing. are you doing our best but I was just. happy to sit down with him yeah as [ __ ]. and I think maybe we sat down maybe on. the wrong day maybe we started you know. I don't know but stuff we were talking. about off the podcast when I brought it. up on the podcast it was like we've.

never spoken off the podcast and that. seemed very weird to me I had this same. reaction to him but like you made this. joke about do you have a do you have a. gun in your helicopter but he just I. don't know why he took that so the wrong. way oh yeah I think that's just a funny. I mean I mean if there's a funny premise. yeah I think at that point I I had also. at some point I'd kind of checked out I. think yeah you know I think I was kind. of but you you said to me that you don't. want to do guess anymore I'm doing no.

I'm doing less guest:is I had the same. reaction to I was canceling episodes. after that oh no I was I needed to. cancel this is way before that I was. trying to can't pay her down we were. just trying to lie just too much stress. what do you mean what's stress about. what this year I just hit a level it was. just too much stress for me you know. just doing like you get in you know like. I started podcasting it was just me. talking to myself. mm-hmm which is what's always going on. in my head anyway and then and then you.

get like oh and then you have a guest on. you try that and you're like oh it was. kind of cool and then you try it again. in a couple times it's really fun and. then you're like okay well do I. interview you know you see what other. people do you see what other podcast was. doing or interviewing all types of. people mm-hmm and so then I started. doing that and like just kind of finding. my way what fits and what doesn't forum. Brendan and I started that king in the. sting podcast. and that's just goofing around but it. also took a lot of took a lot of it took.

time it took effort and so um it just. all became a lot and then with the tour. dates it literally too much it was about. two months man where I don't even know. like my my my thought my my piece I was. always a couple seconds off of peace of. mind it was just I was never able to. yeah yeah and just to feel okay or know. what was going on it was like I was.

speeding but I didn't even know how to. work the vehicle or something and I was. still going real fast so that to me it. was just like I need to tell back what. am I don't want to be a comedian or are. we doing podcasting you have a lot of. podcasts going on here you have three. different sets in this studio well we. will yeah when we move King in the sting. in here yeah but this is only once in a. while now so this is kind of nice you. know now it's like okay I get to look. forward to a conversation as opposed to. being like okay you know getting right.

here and being like all right I have to. do this conversation I know exactly what. you mean I was I was in the same place. where I was taking just trying to get. more interviews but you end up sitting. across people that you frankly don't. care about yeah that we're not. interested in or you don't have. chemistry. yeah wolf of wallstreet that happened. with me that guy I thought was just kind. of I don't know I didn't I don't know. just andand then I felt I couldn't. interview the way I wanted to is just. like I just didn't have enough of a plan. of why I was even talking to this guy I. know exactly what you mean yeah yeah. dude so the last time I saw you I'm.

trying to think if that was right before. you kind of took a break that was one of. my finest interviews man was going in. there really well sometimes I like being. a guest better man I know exactly what. you mean man it's a lot of pressure. being the host you have to make sure the. shows running it's I find it one of the. hardest things as the host to be is like. to actually listen to what they're. saying but also being prepared where the. conversation goes next so there's not. dead air right and it's because I really.

want to listen but sometimes I'll be. listening I'll be like huh and then you. don't know where you're going next yeah. see that's my worst moment has. host ah yeah yeah so ya know where you. can I guess it's great cuz it's all like. if this show sucks it's your fault I. feel like yeah yeah that's the thing I. think some of the hosting maybe or just. being like the person the inviter mm-hmm. you know it's almost like being a woman. during the sex profits I can't come over. here let's see what you got and if you. if you suck it's your fault right I love.

that analogy yeah here we got a question. right here from a guy who might be Jack. London's son gay and gay and what up -. yo what up Ethan this is uh Chester pink. coming in from Detroit Michigan it's. cold out here man I just wanted to call. and ask Ethan when you got into YouTube. in what was like your goal like did you. have all this crazy success you know in. your head or were you just making funny.

videos and and you know it just happened. organically I'm curious because I think. a lot of people get into what you do now. you know they see you and they say oh. man oh I want that. so they get into it maybe for different. reasons then they should or than you did. when you got it started so I'm just. curious so to hear the podcast anger. yang bra is cold he does look old man. Detroit but he looks like one of these. guys who's able to also like if you. bundle up too much you can't meet any.

women you know that's the thing about. being a guy in the cold if you bundle. too much you're never gonna meet any. woman nothing like oh I'm gonna [ __ ]. this cotton ball going right they got to. see what's going on yeah you don't show. a little right whereas a guy will almost. unwrap anything to see if they could. [ __ ] it you know do you think that guy. should be able to like you know how I. mean women can walk around with their. cleavage out mm-hmm do you think the guy. should be able to show their dick off. like tight pants and maybe even maybe. like a maybe less the middle a window to.

the balls or some [ __ ] Oh like a little. plastic window that you can see some. window to the balls and it was there. that old song right I feel like I just. want to see our dicks on the street. that's [ __ ] babe no nobody wants to. see my dick well. think if somebody if you could show that. the nuts in a way where you could see. the cleavage of them hmm not cleavage. that's what I mean oh now that's talking.

but I don't the problem is your dick is. in front of your nuts you you willyou. you wrap it up you tape it up or some. [ __ ] yeah but now yeah that's gonna take. an extra six but it's a it's like the. peacock feathers it's the whole beauty. use thing like these girls spend a lot. of time getting ready the morning why. shouldn't we let's tape our dicks up and. get some [ __ ] nut cleavage out there. I'm telling you look I'm telling you man. forget about the winter clothes we gotta. get our nuts out there do you think you. have stylish dick or not I think my dick.

used to be stylish but as I got older. and fatter my dick is get is turning. into like [ __ ] California raisin dude. is that true now what happens to your. dick is you get put on more weight I've. always kind of weighed the same well. your erection quality gets worse really. I think just because you know you're fat. you're out of shape you could you better. get that good blood flow oh my I mean it. works you know it's fine it works. ela laughs at me when I say that so she. has some confidence in my penis at least.

but which is nice you know you want. someone to believe in your dick can she. uh does she um yeah I mean she must. enjoy your dick that's the thing about a. woman they have to enjoy that's the. thing about meeting a man is really a. two-part thing you have to meet you and. like you and then they also you have. this second buddy that they have to meet. mmm that they kind of have to like. enough no no I mean yeah it's like oh. you also gotta like my friend little rap. you know it's like yeah. why don't people like him some people. hate him hopefully you're one of the.

ones that like him it's such a crazy day. she like she's yeah that's a that's a. really good point you know I feel like. vaginas not like that like it's all like. it's all good. yeah it's all pretty good I mean you put. it in and at a certain point like you. don't even have to really like see it. you know mmm just happens but but but. but to answer your question you know did. I have a question yeah about my penis. what happens when you get fat and old. well not old you're not all not 34 not.

old. you're not old I'm 39 Oh how's your dick. working my dick has never worked that. great really yeah my dick worked really. good I was about 17 he's that I had a. real large penis since I was a very. young so the same size penis so it's got. small and it's smaller as you age no. it's gotten probably the same I think. it's looked different maybe you said. since you were since you were so what. age you had a big penis really young so. that's what I'm saying as you aged you. got bigger your penis stays the same.

size dude I remember there were times. where I could rep both of my arms around. almost like that's how young like a. rapid or Ram my penis and pull it close. into my body like I remember yeah just. like almost like high like at one point. almost being able to not hide behind it. but I remember definitely being like. well that sounds pretty incredible so. what is the conflicts with it just that. it never grew it stayed that way and I. grew that's what I said it is yeah. okay so is its so are you happy with the.

size of it and the thin though the you. know what I mean I think this is a. little bit more of like kind of a wider. penis it's more of like somebody trying. to park off sure it's more like a church. van type of a deal you know it's a joke. they say no it's not a chode is very. short I think chode is like a [ __ ] I kind. of bothering you you know I don't feel. like it's had I I don't think they're I. mean the way you're describing your. penis I think is uh sounds like. something beep something to be proud of. yeah maybe it is man I think yeah maybe. I have a negative idea of it what about. your penis man like I when I was younger.

I was very proud of it I was like I'm. right want this thing to work I'm very. proud of this this is a beaut I like. this you ever shown it to women we were. shown oh oh well I didn't I didn't get. the opportunity you know really not that. much opportunity but I did I had nice. comments you know I never had a problem. it's good mm-hmm but you know my pubes. get longer like my dick all the sudden. when like I'm not hard my dick is like. you know it's like lost and it's like an.

earthworm in a jungle of [ __ ] oh yeah. I know in a humid jungle dude hey I got. a mow the lawn and I'm getting fat I. came to see my penis these days boy Wow. does it really get wild when you get. starts put on some weight yeah oh wow. you can't. and you know I think is it like you're. looking for something sound like that so. I had anxiety problems in college I had. trouble getting it up to at certain. points oh now that was a nightmare dude. if there was a thunderstorm in the area. I couldn't get an erection I couldn't. get an erection you're broken glass I.

had so much an essential anxiety man ton. of that I don't totally relate to that. it went away when I was in like. monogamous relationships that's when I. was able to perform at full mast you. know oh wow but but in other there was. times when I just I wanted to it was. such a shame you know cuz yeah you want. a polar would have been the perfect time. for that thing to work you know what I. mean dude I remember there was a girl I. met at Tulane University years ago and. we've been out met a met at a bar or.

something I think I known her but. finally we met out and we went back to. her place or my place um I probably. didn't have a place but we went. somewhere to do sex and I remember just. couldn't get an erection. you know and I'm like and she and she's. ready to go. did I hide both my arms up everything. else in the everything was out. everything is erect bro well that makes. your penis look even sadder oh you're. like and I would wear tight socks even. keep blood flow into the more part you. really 100% does that work I felt like.

it did thing but I don't know if it. really did but I would wear like those. compression socks you know like senior. citizens wear oh that's sick dude it was. so sad I level of it long [ __ ] on. [ __ ] you yeah one of the club I. wonder [ __ ] rolling into some comm. saw is that something to listen to Nelly. bro that's awesome though I wonder if. that's thing is that something guys do. bro hears it was that your idea or was. that shared with you no no that was mine. that was your original idea yeah I mean.

it just me you're uh you're a. Renaissance man dude that's incredible I. don't know about that I mean that's all. I would I am I wish I thought of that. you ever do anything like that no I. can't say they have no but Nick's also. made some Nick's done a lot though Nick. put this whole studio together yeah you. must have a really nice day yeah I. thought you're gonna go into some more. of my poor choices oh yeah thanks saying. I was gonna but I'm trying to change the. way I think yeah so I'm trying to think. about you got a Gnostic for sure. but anyway yeah man and I met it so.

anyway couldn't bro and here was the. excuse I remember that I use dude I had. to go meet somebody to go swimming but I. was like five oh you got out of there. yeah I was like I gotta meet somebody to. swim at 5:30 I remember people swim at. 5:30 that's what I thought I'd seem to. be early morning everything yeah and. she's like really I was like yeah we got. a group I'm sad for that past year years. later yeah. meet up with her again same [ __ ]. thing because it's it's so still.

direction mine connection is too strong. you because you remember that and you're. like all right I'm over that that's how. old me but the mind gets the best to you. yeah yeah yeah and that's what it was. dude I mean I'm so in my head I mean. it's so hard for me to leave my head to. live in a comfortable place in the world. that's why I'm constantly seeing all my. faults constantly seeing all my problems. constantly seeing you know all my you. know and people were like you got to. quit me as hard self I wish I could I. want to the bigger thing for me is I.

just have to get out of my head and. because my head is just faulty you know. it doesn't work well great I'll tell you. what I know exactly what you mean I mean. I feel the same way but you know you. have this lens that you see the whole. world through them and when you when you. different people I've been through. different [ __ ] you know and it all Gunks. up your lens and you know you don't see. the world as it is but as you are right. yeah so so when your lens is all gunked.

up and you've been through all this [ __ ]. and you know it's it's hard to see to. not see things all messy like that yeah. but do you go to therapy yeah I go to. therapy and I do 12-step you know a. recovery program so I go to 12-step and. that kind of stuff what are you. recovering from um I go to 12-step for. drugs and alcohol so what were you. addicted to you know I think honestly. when I really think back on it I was. addicted to the way that I think my. alcoholism is really now call ism is.

yeah I have alcoholism mm-hmm so you. know I never drank much I would do some. cocaine sometime I really enjoyed it but. I mean my favorite drink was cocaine. really and. not alcohol but I would [ __ ] I'll. take a glass on it oh yeah. don't even [ __ ] put ice in it I don't. care man oh you know cocaine was just. really enjoyable it probably one of the. best powders that thing I don't like it. is that interesting really I've tried it. and I hated it made you real what did it. make you just you just like I drank a. bunch of coffee I didn't feel euphoric I.

didn't feel confident I felt just like. on edge yeah I couldn't sleep it wasn't. I didn't feel good at all and I and I. would sit with people and they'd be like. talk people get so intense and like. chatty but I was I was very aware of the. that that wasn't like a real moment. between people it was just like you get. all [ __ ] crazy word burger yeah. people are [ __ ] calm but you're like. this conversation is all [ __ ] yeah. it doesn't make it's nothing and you. might sell your car who gives a [ __ ] to. even talk about for 40 minutes yeah.

exactly. that's right that's so that's what I. think of when I when I think of cocaine. but I think I'm lucky in that my body it. rebels against drug use I always have. the worst experiences with all drugs but. you cocaine was good for you. no it wasn't actually actually I mean. Pierce is very much like you described. it hmm so what did you like about it I. think I liked that it gave me an excuse.

to feel that way without like it wasn't. my fault anymore in a way because I. would feel like edgy I would feel like. you know just kind of overwhelmed or. something it's like oh well now it's at. least it's this this substances fault. not yours hmm. maybe I don't know interesting but in. the end I just realize it was for my. thinking you know my thinking I need to. have a program to help me relieve the. way that I think and the way I feel. about myself because those are really.

the drugs that I'm addicted to I'm. addicted. I think feeling poorly about myself. right and I'm addicted to like this just. a negative system that started in my. head I think when I was young that right. you know just a bad software kana you. know I know exactly what you mean man. bye and you I think what you're saying. is right because your brain releases. chemicals that makes you feel certain. ways and when you're used to releasing. this chemical that makes you anxious. or stressed or whatever bad feelings you. have where your mind is racing and.

you're thinking all these negative. thoughts this is the kind of chemical. your body gets used to producing and. it's hard to put a stop to that yeah. when you're just sitting calmly in your. house and your body's not producing that. [ __ ] and so it's hard to kind of change. rewire your system but the. antidepressant changed my life really. yeah that's what helped me rewire my. [ __ ] how long have you been on them over. a year Wow. [ __ ] yeah welcome wait yeah take it -. dude 20 years money years oh I see do.

suppositories forego to the bar I'd put. two [ __ ] uh zoloft in my ass tea when. I was like gonna chart when I used to. live in Charleston why up your ass I. don't know this is about the time and I. think that kind of [ __ ] was popular you. know was kind of I don't think that is I. don't think met in a bad experience oh. dude I'll tell you it is bruh I could. drink thirteen gin and tonics fight two. of those in my ass man I don't think. you're supposed to drink on. antidepressants you're not I think what. they say actually is that it makes it. worse I mean it was all for me it always.

felt like it was a bit a little bit bad. but I do remember I could the first time. I got Zoloft man it made me feel like oh. wow man I'm a cool guy. really I can drink I can get up early. and go do some oh and activated oh good. yeah what did it do for you nothing I. swear to god it it didn't affect me at. all the only thing that changed is that. I became less irritable which was which. was really like destroying my life is.

just I was so [ __ ] irritable all the. time now irritable did that display. itself as like anger did everything. frustration yeah anger I will get like. irrationally angry at my wife oh yeah. and I know in my mind is the worst part. is like dude there's why why is this. making you so upset. mmm there's no reason for you to be this. upset over this but clean I couldn't. control it it's it's a it's a prison. you're a prisoner to your emotions in. that regard. dude is so funny said I went to the gym.

this morning right and I hired a trainer. recently to help me just give me a. little more motor. and when I got there I was not just not. in a good mood man this is it was 9:00. a.m. you know so not that early but and. I told him I said hey man I'm just in a. really bad mood I said there's nothing I. can do about it I said I don't I'm. trying not to be I don't want to be but. it's like having a shirt on mmm it's. like just I'm in this shirt I have to. have this shirt on today mm-hmm and I'm. gonna do my best in this shirt but. there's no I can't [ __ ] change this. it's crazy yeah it's like you're being. something and you know you're in it yeah.

it's it's really you're a prisoner to. your emotions and it's so frustrating. because Fogg Lanuf likes it like I feel. like such [ __ ] there were talking. mothers but it's real it's you know the. realest [ __ ] so I'm it's everything it's. everything it defines your whole how you. experience everything and it's so. frustrating knowing that you inside of. you is this how you want to be how you. wish you were and you know that that. you've been there and you you want to.

feel that normality and but you just. you're you're you're in prison you can't. ask it and so for me the antidepressants. helped it did help it's not it like a. you know I still have bad days but for. the most part I feel like you know I. don't know the therapy helped a lot too. III talked and kind of thought about. things that I never thought about before. good therapist yeah I think so did you. try a couple before you went I tried one.

through my health insurance he was it. was the work it was awful do they sent. me to a guy who did puppetry work dude. I'm like who the [ __ ] is this dude was. his name Jeff Dunham huh out of in wild. if you talk to Pina is puppet for. therapy and then jalapeno comes out. you're like what is this like yeah $200. an hour you would think it should be. [ __ ] Jeff Yeah right. did my therapist was 450 an hour no way. I was like man I'm like he's good but he.

doesn't like give me a reach-around or. anything for fifty an hour dude he. should be cooking food for you shouldn't. be making that hate to interrupt you but. I am gonna because here we are look at. this look at me. it's me do you care by your eyes bro. well you should how was she gonna know. if you do or if you don't if you can't. even see yourself with my lifestyle and. the Sun here in California a lot of. times I don't know what's going on I'm.

it now can we hop back to it because. this one's kind of related what I. couldn't I remember the question was uh. what did you plan when you started. youtube did you want to get famous did. you sell it rich. no what I plan I'll tell you I remember. the exact moment I I knew I wanted to. call me and. to be an entertainer I never thought. that I could ever be on screen because. it's like when you're don't have. connections and I didn't ever really. wanted to be a stand-up comedian. that I knew that wasn't my path just. because I don't know because of three.

you were brave in some comedic way too. you knew that about yourself because you. did like Veit you know I was watching. vapenation the other day yeah that and. you did but you know you were that's. kind of a brave strange thing yeah I. mean those videos were really hard to. make it's uh it's it's intense going on. the street and doing that but in the. very beginning I thought I'd be a writer. or something cuz but but at any rate I. remember I was watching Jimmy Kimmel of. all people and he says you know these. days with YouTube if you're funny and.

you're and you work hard enough and. you're talented you know back in the day. you had to know somebody had to be. connected but these days if you're funny. and you just put yourself out there on. YouTube eventually something's gonna. happen for you. mmm there's something that the essence. of that and so I was like you know. that's that's true like I'm sitting. around trying to find like someone to. give me an opportunity or something you. know I was I was working a day job. I was I was full-time doing some. marketing [ __ ] so so I started on on.

the weekends just just making a goofy. YouTube videos just not with any. expectation at all just to get my chops. to find my voice to figure out what I. liked and who I was comedic ly mm-hmm. and I did that for like two years you. know we collected a small following of. people which I was so I mean I was so. blessed. there was like in the beginning days. there was like I had a very loyal small. group of people that found me somehow oh.

yeah I was like the Book of Eli back. then everything that movie know kind of. similar with someone Will Smith finds. his dog or whatever I am Legend he was. like I am Legend I did see that but I. don't get early on to buy mean because. there's only 1 / T were the only person. there there's like people wandering. around is trying to find their group a. few people I see but but while I was. trying to think of take another. antidepressant yeah. yeah I put them up you still put them up. your butt huh no no that was a college.

that's good should take him by the mouth. of thing I take him out of mouth yeah. man. but don't you get left with a bunch of. like powder in your ass where does it. just soak it all up no dude this is back. when I had a pretty [ __ ] design or I. [ __ ] were you young your [ __ ] a. [ __ ] it's just a sweet tight little. question bits of Hocking yeah it's like. it's just like a new one day of yeah. it's the Fountain of Youth and now your. [ __ ] seen some mileage no it's just. you know it's more of a you know it's.

just had it's probably feels like it. seems like it's just had no mileage is. the turn you know the city yet the. Ottoman for the city's always taking. great care of it yeah that's fair you. ever take a [ __ ] like a big ass [ __ ] it. feels so good coming out it's a very. pleasant experience and you look and. it's like big ass [ __ ] like and you're. like damn I kind of get why dudes like. ain't [ __ ] in the ass nope but because. it's like damn like if it can feel that.

like a [ __ ] that big just came out of my. ass and I didn't even mind it one bit. you know what I mean I won't take really. big shits I'll wait till they feel a. little bit smaller and then I take well. if you oh but I don't have control over. that. I don't wait it just happens when it. happens well you can wait I mean it's in. your body good no for me it's like Now. or Never. no it's like now it's not never when I. need a [ __ ] I need a [ __ ] there's no. holding back. damn you're like the [ __ ] this is. like the fastest I got that yeah Oh. Jewish bowels yeah I have Jewish bowel.

syndrome oh dude yeah my Jewish buddies. you give him half a teaspoon of [ __ ]. yeah. sour cream oh yeah see I'm for a while. yeah that's right that's true yeah we. call that Jewish bowel syndrome. there it is now I just made that up but. it should be a thing bro it's so crazy. but you know it's hardest most capable. humans do but you know what half of a. [ __ ] cracker that doesn't agree with. Eden even need the Holocaust you. could've just distributed sour cream to. the population that's the final solution. do you know why cuz we're all inbred oh.

yeah yeah we're just inbred as [ __ ] so I. guess that does something but we all. have mental district Tourette's syndrome. you know I'm. can mass we had a question that came in. about that let's get right to that we. didn't have a question about the. Tourette's but we never mind we had a. gas can I work for different particle we. had a guest named oh yeah we had a guest. that came in named knit uh mark mark. mark Elliott he would give TED talks cuz. he cured his Tourette's through the name.

in the system of a damn what was in that. sex cult that would dad Keith Ranieri I. got a little weird you know Vick sent. over that in Vicks yeah yeah he was in. that he was like kind of like in one of. like the he was like a sidepiece kind of. well I'm not surprised because that's. definitely not possible there's a lot of. different things that are like. Tourette's. but you turrets as a neurological well. let's see this is what he's got oh wait.

is this the ugly guy is this the guy you. interviewed yeah oh I can't diagnose him. if that's what you're asking you can try. that it's YouTube man school there was. 15 kids in the class like there's so. many different tic disorders there's a a. new neurological disease I just heard. about on the news that kind of manifests. its like self like Tourette's I mean I.

couldn't possibly diagnose the guy and. for me it's a it's a here it's a. heretical condition my uncle has it my. it's passed down for my family we used. to see your uncle do you guys have a. different type of life because they're. like a sixth sense almost well his is. worse than mine so it's kind of it's. really easy to spot but is it when you. see him is there is there like here's. what I'm saying like if I had wings on. my back right and I saw somebody else. with wings on their back I would be like.

oh you know is there camaraderie between. yeah like really what because I'll tell. you in my experience I breaks my heart. man it was a very personal experience. that I never met anyone else that had. Tourette's growing up I never knew. anyone else so for me it was very only. one yeah that I ever knew. and it's a very personal. experience in battle the way I felt it I. didn't I preferred not to talk about it. because I feel like even being aware of.

it made it worse. so like when my parents try to talk to. me about it I would just tell them you. know I'll get upset I would say just. don't bring it up to me because I don't. want to I felt like the less I was aware. of it. I less it bothered me if he didn't make. it a big thing these days about it. doesn't bother me so much but as a kid. it's a lot to work out in your head and. it was worse when I was a kid too so I. think I was very lucky that was very I. was very fortunate to have friends who. were very cool and understanding and not. judgmental about it because I I can see.

that that could that could really oh. yeah [ __ ] you up growing up but I mean I. was so fortunate to have friends that. were very we're very generous with their. compassion mm-hmm yeah that's huge cuz. imagine that you have yeah you have that. and people are just giving you a hard. time yeah it'll look weird as [ __ ] it's. hard to control it and what kind you. have what kind of because sometimes you. get we had a guy that was always that. kind of playing freeze tag with himself. it seemed like we had a guy we had a.

blind guy that's not tourettes we had a. guy what else did we have dude we had a. gun we had a dude who was he would. always ride this bicycle that had a baby. seat member the baby seat he would sit. behind your mom on the seat and those. used to be dope now these kids riding. like a [ __ ] big covered wagon or. something here in [ __ ] England or. something you know but we used to ride. over just a seat with like a shitty. [ __ ] seat belt mhm and you were just.

sitting there like it bounced behind mom. we had to do it in our town that was. like he had some type of something and. he would just drive one of those all the. time but no baby in the back and people. always thought that something had. happened he'd lost his family or. something but what was yours like I just. had so when I was a kid it was it's a. weird thing I feel like what what. Tourette's you can pass around your tics. so like for example I have where I open. my eyes real wide mhm and that you use. you don't want to draw attention to.

yourself right that's what you avoid. okay I hide it inside of yourself like I. have one where I roll my. so I would I would like cover my eyes so. people didn't notice or I don't wear. shake my head that one that one really. bothered me it gave me headaches all the. time so what you could what I found you. can do is if you resist the urge hmm. your body will manifest new tics in. different ways so I would like fight off. this urge to shake my head cuz it drew. attention to myself and I didn't like. that and now instead I wiggle my toes oh.

wow you can't see that you don't know. I'm wiggling my tight [ __ ] like that so. you can redirect I found personally that. I can redirect the tick energy so with. things surgery that's trying to escape. you the best way I can describe it is. like you it's it's not like I don't have. control over it I cannot do it but it's. like having an itch it's like having it. yes so it's like you know it's it so. it's awful it's a horrible feeling not. scratching an itch drives you crazy.

that's even what Mark even said I. remember him saying something like that. Mark Elliott said it was like having an. itch and some you have to scratch it and. you have to do something to scratch it. and sometimes you don't ya just that's. the best way I can describe it I don't. know what he's got as far as I'm aware. that you know Tourette's is not it's not. a curable yeah he thanked the NICS 'i'm. cult whatever their their organization. their process was for getting rid of. before look into that he did more vocal. he had more vocal tics did you ever have. vocal so teressa's.

is characterized by a vocal tics okay so. mine was clearing my throat like I do. that I still do that no it's cool I. think oh I thought I'd muted it that's. the difference between like tech. syndrome and and like an Tourette's. syndrome Tourette's is what is. characterized by vocal tics so was there. any fun ones you would get sometimes no. there's no there's no fun one they're. all annoying they're all annoying it's.

just a matter of like being able to. they're actually they're not all. annoying so it doesn't necessarily. bother me that I have to wiggle my toes. but I have like you know I have like a. sleep paralysis where you wake up or you. you're in a semi-conscious state you. know what sleep rouse oh yeah I love it. that's sarcastic no I love sleep rouses. when you get that thing where you're. like really off you know every waking. every time I go to sleep I pray for that. dude I love that [ __ ] really.

yes I'll do all month can you expand on. that yeah like so now yeah like you wake. up and but you're not really awake and. you can't move but you're like alive you. know I mean that sounds awful the way. you describe really yeah cuz boring to. me so I'm sleepy so far more terrifying. it's like I'm just gonna lay here for. seven hours you know I like sleeping. dude yeah look I've thought it ruled for. sometime and then recently the probably.

Lord yeah pass away it is a waste of. time technically speaking yeah I just. feel like in the future things like can. you believe that when our. great-grandparents were tired they went. late somewhere for eight hours we could. eliminate that think of how psychotic it. seems really yeah to think that man oh. you are you think you forgo well she. went and laid down a specific close your. eyes for eight hours yeah that sounds. like [ __ ] autism bro yeah this lady. has a question right here video hey.

Ethan have you gotten a hit of that. nurse and ela too if not have you. thought about it mmm no like oh wow. Gang Gang I like how excited she was by. that she got a lowered her voice and. changed her mannerisms she looks nice. when she has two tits till you see that. have you had a Maya I certainly thought. about it you tried either breast milk. the thing is that ela wasn't I probably.

would have but ela wasn't she was having. trouble lactating okay so we've we. feeding him he was actually like. starving to death during the first two. weeks and it was awful we didn't know. why he wasn't getting enough food. because eel is oh she's nursing he's not. getting up yeah he or she wasn't really. producing and so I would have told I. would have totally sucked the milk out. of her titties I mean I've tried many. times before really even before she was. pregnant. that's [ __ ] pretty cool no I'll retry. it look dude everybody is yeah.

everybody's had a sip of different. things that come. their body you know everybody's you know. I'm no [ __ ] you know even immoral. Lagasse does like that oh yeah little. bamm-bamm yeah a little BAM yeah I would. have tried it you know I've heard good. things. how has I know last time you and I were. talking on your podcast man which was. really fun dude I'm so appreciate it. that you guys have me on I've gotten. such a nice response over the years from. I want you to hear bangle that let's. come back okay good soon we were talking. I wanna go we're in the same building we. could go up there right now nope we're.

here right now but how about this I'll. come back after I would say probably. after the first of the year I'll come. back love it yeah let's get that we. close and thank you and uh but yeah we. were talking about parenting and. fatherhood and stuff like that has your. relationship with your dad changed since. you had to have had a child has it been. well have you had any moments to reflect. like I just don't think it works that. way you can you can change yourself. mhm you can inform yourself and and you.

know hopefully improve your relationship. with your own son but I don't I just. don't think that things change like that. unfortunately it's not like it's not. like I don't know no now no not really. not with my dad yeah I mean I have a. fine relationship with my dad you know. we all yea I'm not throwing him under. the bus for me no I I do all the time he. gets angry at me because he listens oh. yeah my mom started listening yeah which.

is sweet in a way but it's like isn't it. sweeter know what it's like you got it. just buckle up if you're gonna listen. cuz I I'm just gonna talk about. everything yeah you're gonna hear things. you don't want to hear from from you. know how I wipe my ass yeah you know I. recently started using a bidet and I had. a lot of success with that wow really -. sucking on you know he'll try suck milk. out of my wife's titties and even saying. you know hey I don't think you did that. good job as a father yeah so they got to. be prepared for all that but I don't.

think it's prepared I don't think it's. improved my relationship with my dad at. all I think mostly it's just um I. learned a lot about my relationship with. my dad through therapy hmm and that kind. of stuff was was very good I think with. preparing me to be a father. but are you digging it yeah of course. yeah of course you know he's five months. old right but it's it's just there's a. lot of stuff there's a lot of great. stuff and there's a lot of people. prepare you for.

I think people oversell it and in this. way they say first of all people go when. my child was born is the best day of my. life that day sucks that's like [ __ ]. such an awful day. you don't sleep your wife is going under. this incredible dangerous procedure. she's an incredible pain you then then. you have this crying little Goblin that. you you have no like in my I mean I'm a.

first-time father so you don't know what. you're doing yet this baby is it can't. even lift it's [ __ ] Mecca for oh he's. that kind of a I like that on our. basketball team when I was young like. you don't hold his neck up and he breaks. his [ __ ] head falls in Florida you're. like oh [ __ ] and then yeah I think it's. so straight left enough to do a layup in. the middle of a game yeah that doesn't. sound like a very good that sounds like. a dysfunctional basketball - yeah this. is bad but no so that day is horrible. that day get it's such an awful day it's. so you know and it is beautiful when the.

baby comes out right but at the same. time there's a ton of people there it's. kind of confusing because you don't know. what to do you know my heel is on the. heel is on the table she's getting sewn. up cuz her [ __ ] tore into my job you. know that happens pretty commonly and he. was a big baby and his shoulders just. [ __ ] bad bro and by the way shoulders. in there well they're there they're real. flexible I mean and the crazy [ __ ] did I. saw everything by the way you think that. like Oh dad's just gonna sit outside I.

was [ __ ] holding her leg I saw I I. didn't have a choice they threw me in. the [ __ ] John Wayne Gacy bro I didn't. have a choice at all that's what they. instructed me they said dad come grab. her leg I'm saying all right let's get. it let's do it you know right here I'm. here to support my wife but it was crazy. scene I saw everything his head looked. like a meatball coming out of her. because it was all discolored and lumpy. and little hairs it looked like a. meatball with pubes I swear to God broke. the no joke this story right here is. better than. entire last movie of Halloween you say.

that last one no no my show really it. was he was scary. really it was almost like a average. husband for Cutco knives dude it was a. [ __ ] worst horror movie I don't I. don't like horror movies I skip them all. well then watch that dude it's nothing. but it's kind of like a man like window. shopping for houses well yeah oh yeah I. mean this oh yeah I felt safe but it was. intense. her you know her [ __ ] was and then like. dude the gnarliest thing it's like so.

the uterus are not the uterus that that. stays in there the the placenta the baby. comes sell that you sell that's a Joe. Rogan bro they want you to eat that [ __ ]. I'm like [ __ ] that what are you insane. my campbell oh there's one of these. [ __ ] [ __ ] from Montana Boulevard. or something you know probably put it in. a smoothie for people kept trying to get. me to eat it I'm like I'm first of all. Wow no I don't be that I'm telling I'm. taking down names and people who told me. to eat it so I could not talk to them. but you should have seen it they cuz the.

bill you cut the umbilical cord and then. you got it and then you pull the [ __ ]. placenta out by the umbilical cord since. she hasn't she was like a second birth. the baby's out getting checked out by. the doctors and then meanwhile the the. nurse is pulling this placenta out and. it looks like a liver it's just huge. organ bro and it's all you see it's all. bloody and there's all these veins and. [ __ ] end up dude and they pull it out of. that crazy to see do you ever look at. your wife the same I mean him yeah what.

yeah you know she's better than she's. awesome nothing she's not a great person. but I'm just saying dude if somebody. know I didn't it ice when you 'only. think that it didn't it didn't know I. mean it was it was [ __ ] crazy but I. saw more than she did right she didn't. see any of that right. and then the nurses are going on and on. about like oh it's such a it's such a. beautiful placenta it looked like a. [ __ ] raw liver bro got pulled out of.

her vagina that sounds like an teef I do. that sounds fun and like and then. there's this newborn baby I've never. dealt with and the doctors are all. checking him out and [ __ ] and I mean. he's scary it's scary and then they put. you in the hole and the hot in the. recovery room and you got to keep this. baby alive for two days and then they. send your ass home and you got to keep. the baby alive there was it scary to. leave the hospital that would seem scary. to me like I was I wanted to get out of. the hospital was a just awful I hate it.

being there I wanted to get out of there. when we got home the first two months. was just agony because well I think we. had a specifically a hard time because. he wasn't latching on he was a feeding. he was latching on but he wasn't feeding. oh and you know breast feeding is very. painful for the female - is it really. yeah they say that breastfeeding is is. oftentimes even even worse than the. pregnancy that's something that I could. imagine I didn't think about that just.

sucking hard and munching munching on. the titty you know what I mean. not just sucking munching yeah very. animalistic yeah and he was just crying. I mean it was just crying crying and. crying and crying we're like I don't. think he wants to cry this one's you. know he was he wasn't sleep they're. supposed to sleep like 18 hours a day he. was sleeping like maybe five at Mawson. he was just crying crying crying and. there's a cigarette smoker it's almost. sounds like us someone to the key they. don't sleep that much cigarette smokers. people don't think about that mmm but. anyway I interrupted you um so oh is.

that the elevator oh you guys have. elevator noise we didn't think about. that. mmm can they hear it nope that's good. it's not a big deal I think it's kind of. sexy yeah yeah I saw you guys have a. sign please don't use the elevator I. thought that was all you a nickel of. that sign I think right now I think it's. not at the moment cuz there's so much. therapy upstairs I started to feel bad. about yeah oh yeah so yeah I yeah one. day we did area lady in a wheelchair.

really you should probably just let her. take that elevator. sound quality man that's like did did. the baby seem like oh now does it seem. human at first or does it seem like an. animal or like a Pettifer and not in any. way you don't love the child no so. really it's a little gremlin bro yeah. it's a little it's a little troll do you. love it as much in the beginning as you. much you're in know of it now if I know. and that's another thing they don't tell. you is that when this bait it's a.

stranger you never met this baby you. don't know each other. and so um so no that's the kid that's. the truth your your love grows for for. the child right and it's not a you you. don't have an immediate connection and. that's something that worried me as well. that was like you know I'm not really. connecting with this baby at first and I. mean that's different now. no no he's five months old and he's. smiling and he's laughing and it's the. whole thing he's much different but at.

first especially for the two first two. months there's no there's almost no. recognition of you at all so so that's. another thing that that I think you. don't expect that maybe people aren't. honest about mmm because everybody I. think in retrospect like when they're 20. years old or whatever it's even five six. years old it's like you just think. you're all you see all the happy good. times and you look back on that with. with the not just rose-colored glasses. but but uh dark pink.

what's more intense than Rose chiffon. maybe I'm Jevon baby fawn colored. glasses is that something it sounds good. yeah but you know were you it was tough. were you grew was there a moment where. you kind of started refeel grateful like. okay wow I am starting to love like yeah. there was a moment where I realized now. he's [ __ ] he's like five months in a. week and he's really been coming into.

his own for the past month or two and. there's there's like this moment every. day when he first sees you and it's so. happy to see you and you know what I. real I had this weird realization that. you think that you know your parents are. meant to have unconditional love for you. but but what I realized as a parent is. that this child has unconditional love. for me right now and it was like it was. very sobering realization that he went.

it's almost like I feel unworthy of that. love hmm. he's just so happy to see me every time. and happy to spend time with me that. it's it's it's freaky like it's what he. does for me and not the other way around. and you have I feel like I have and it's. not just with me either it's with. everybody like he's born so pure and. loving that as a parent you need to you. need to protect that oh that's.

interesting you need to because the. truth is I think we're all born that way. and only through our life experiences do. we does that change yeah you know that. there's a debate that are we born good. or not and I think once you see a baby. there I mean it's obviously that we are. all born good Wow and it's just through. our life experiences that the dark arts. that any of that changes so you know you. have a responsibility and it's it's so.

weird that when you realize like that. you're gonna be the one new effective. well it's such a profound relationship. the father-son relationship right mm-hmm. let's get this Filipino we got a. beautiful Filipino man mmm as a question. for hey Theo my name is Rizzo I'm from. North Carolina my questions mainly for. Ethan my question is when you're. battling darkness and depression and. dark thoughts yourself how do you go.

about having a better brighter. perspective for your child when you're. dealing with negativity yourself how do. you aim for positivity with your child. in the nick of time that's what we call. him right now thanks Nate. well I feel like first of all it's more. like how do you deal with it yourself. you know it's like you have to get your. [ __ ] straight for yourself right before. you can't you can't if you're feeling.

that way you can't help it bleeding. through. to your kid and he's gonna see that and. he's gonna learn for that he's gonna. take it did you start to realize yeah. you're like this weird filter everything. bro. he watches he learns he everything you. know he they take it in it changed them. day by day they that you know what I. mean they're a little DNA they're. building blocks are taking everything in. bro as a building a little human being. and for me you know one of the fallacies. that I had when I was depressed and. anxious and really in the pit of despair. you have this feeling in your head you.

chase yourself in circles and circles. and circles the truth is you can't talk. yourself out of it you cannot change it. you need something to slice through it. day by day you just you try to convince. yourself you try to find different ways. that you can feel better but for me I. found that it's all just that's all part. of it dude that's not escaping it that's. the trappings of it right and for me. it's just you know therapy and medicine. was what helped me get out of it because. you can't you just can't talk yourself.

out of it are there moments now I. remember having a moment where I felt. like one of the first times I felt good. about myself hmm did you have anything. like that happened after you got on and. in depressants like and I'm not saying. that any presses are the cure for these. things I'm just saying that that moment. for me happened when I will got into. 12-step program that I remember having a. day one day one moment I was walking and. I was like what is going on I said oh. wow I feel I feel.

yeah I have had more I certainly have. moments of clarity and it's almost. [ __ ] scary yeah that's the thing is. like before I used to have good days and. then just the the awareness oh yeah that. I had a good I'm having a good moment or. a good day made me ruined my day okay. for real yeah yeah for real like it. ruined it well I can relate to that yeah. so much it's unbelievable.

but I think that that's but I do have. moments of clarity where I am like I. think back to how bad I was yeah and you. know I'm very thankful for that the you. know it's a little better yeah let's get. let's throw another question now I want. to talk what do you talk what are you. working on in therapy right now like. what do you I'm trying to think of I. don't go to therapy anymore you don't I. went for like three months for four. months and I feel like I got I made a.

lot of progress and I thought about a. lot of stuff and I think there was just. a month well first of all was super. expensive and is super far from my house. it was kind of a pain in the ass and I. think it came to the point where I felt. like it was more of a pain in the ass. than therapeutic respect I had a moment. the other day of my therapist yesterday. actually I was in there and I didn't. like the fact that she kept someone. she'll just tell me facts and [ __ ] and I. don't I don't learn really that way I. learn more from feeling like from me I. really need to feel something too.

especially in therapy I need to have. some feelings for it to really be of any. value to me mm-hmm. I don't care whenever they're talking. about like well maybe the reason of this. is that it's like I need to have the. feeling I need to realize it myself I. need to communicate it to myself almost. right with your help. right and I remember telling her I said. you know I don't like when you talk. mm-hmm and it was kind of interesting. because we started to get into this. space where it's like she's like that's.

fine you can tell me that sort of thing. and this whole time I've had this thing. in my head where I'm just like I'm just. trying to be nice at the same time it's. also getting therapy hmm but sometimes. you can use your therapist to embody. things that you don't like like they're. doing something you know I didn't. realize that I didn't. I can say you know I don't like hearing. you talk right now you know yeah I had a. moment like that too it's like well why. and then I get to start to explain why. and then I get to start to realize. something that's bothering me and I'm.

actually then dealing with it instead of. just like talking to my therapist like. right even you can fight you can even go. that's right that's why I therapy you. need to be like radically honest yes and. radically honest in a way that I didn't. even know was being radically honest. like yeah I was like you know what I. [ __ ] hate it when you start to tell. me like well maybe this is you know and. I know that [ __ ] mm-hmm I [ __ ] know. that mm-hmm I know what's going on I. just don't [ __ ] feel good mm-hmm but. it was finally like an opportunity when.

I started to get there I was like oh. this is a new space for me to. communicate interesting because one of. my biggest problems really is. communication I don't communicate. clearly sometimes in the beginning and. then I start to live in these worlds. where I did communicate clearly mmm but. I never really did communicate are you. talking about with friends or in all. hours I think in all facets hmm. so then I start to build these weird. resentments and things you won't learn. in my head when I just didn't. communicate clearly from the beginning. mm-hmm but it's so hard for me to want.

to communicate clearly I don't know then. then I start to realize okay that's. where I have like admission you don't. have the energy you don't have the well. took like extra communicate I think I I. think I just no one ever really taught. it to me so I think I could learn weird. ways to communicate mm-hmm even when I. probably why I ended up doing stand-up I. ended up needing to have this way to. communicate with people to just feel. like somebody hears me you know I don't.

know I think a lot of it I'm still. learning about but it's just anyway I. just went on that tendon cuz I I just. realized that for myself in therapy that. I can also communicate with my. favoritest about how I feel about them. yeah because it's gonna help us as a. team learn about what's going on and I. can even tell them hey don't take this. personally I know that I'm I know you. know that I care about you I know that I. think you're a nice person but I'm gonna. communicate this way to play like that.

I'm in good ones. imagine a therapist getting all like. defensive yeah I couldn't either but I. always thought no yeah we don't want to. be rude right and you know then you have. a weird thing we're like you like them. and they they they know you more than. they know what's going on through your. head more than your closest the people. closest you in your life. yeah and you you want them to think. highly of you yes because they know you. so well so weird them you know like a. therapist about your therapy we there. needs to be a book on how to go to.

therapy I agree it's it's because. there's a teaching for the therapist. there's no teaching for the therapy for. them you know for the therapist you know. or whatever the guy comes in here's my. [ __ ] dude right here this guy was uh. Whitney the quarterback from a TV show. Sugar Hill Gang or somewheres the guy. with a guy at wheelchair market eight. not a guy who got in the wheelchair and. then went to the city championship. that's him with the nut with the black. guy that played Superman who played.

Superman there was a black Superman. Friday Night Lights oh I thought it was. called Market Market a dude that's what. they always say what is this guy you. know I'm talking about Philip Allen or. something I got quarterback I read the. book one dude. sorry what's up my question is for Ethan. my wife and I are massive fans of. annually in the podcast and everything. in the whole channel happen for a long. time my question is as a husband and now. a new father what does it feel like.

responsibility wise to put your family. out there for the internet and how has. that impacted you of recent now thanks. well in certain ways it sucks because we. get swatted and there's a lot of people. that wish us ill will and we moved. recently because we didn't feel safe at. our last house where people calling the. police and saying less here you people. calling police and saying there's bodies. everywhere there's bombs everywhere. there's hostages and the SWAT teams.

would pull up to our house and. helicopters and they would come with. their guns drawn and I serious yes and I. felt very unsafe. I felt very unsafe about it and so we. moved to a new house and a gated. community which is nice I feel better. there but it sucks being a public figure. in that regard because there's always a. little bit of uncertainty because. there's just so many crazy [ __ ]. people up there and there's I don't know. there's people that dislike me on the.

internet for one reason or the other and. I wish I could erase that you know I. didn't know if I would like you probably. when I met you man but I realized I. really did like you you know I wonder. what that is they'll wonder I mean and I. don't mean that any bad way I mean it. almost in a way to explore you know like. I guess I just thought we might be so. different you know but then I realized. that's true yeah and I was kind of like. oh we're really not very very different. I know I don't know why but I had a. feeling like I was I was friends with a.

lot of your your contemporaries the. comedian's mm-hmm and I knew I wanted to. meet you but I don't know why like when. I saw you at the comedy club I really. wanted to yeah saw you guys meet you and. I'm glad I'm glad that you said hello. yeah that was cool yeah maybe I don't. know why I don't know what it was but. your set was amazing. finally dates I appreciate that man yeah. yeah it's been a fun uh that job's been. fun it's been good to me but what what.

is it that you think you wouldn't like. about me no I don't know I think I think. I feel like I don't know I sometimes I. feel like certain people just judge. would just judge me for some reason you. know hmm. but then I realize that uh I don't know. let me think about I am judgmental I'm. kind of known for that well I think it's. also probably cuz i know cuz I'm. judgmental hmm and so then I always am. one dick to another right so I know that. so then my biggest fear is always that. other people gonna be you know it's. funny I I always think this to myself if.

I met myself I think I would like myself. maybe maybe that's less true now but. back in the back when I was like really. uh in a dark place mm-hmm. I used to be. that if I was outside myself and my. [ __ ] hate myself yeah. sometimes I felt like that earlier this. year I hit a real bat I had a bad spot. this year for a couple months and it's. still a bit this whole years been really. tough for me but I hit a bad spot early. this year where I was [ __ ] just a. nightmare mm-hmm and I hated it it was.

the same thing like you know sometimes. it just flares up and it's just like I. don't know I have some anger and it just. won't I just can't get yeah I almost. want to [ __ ] exorcism or something. you know mmm I wish it was that easy. crazy I wish I was [ __ ] possessed. yeah at least I could explain it you. know do you think about back in the old. days if you're like oh sorry. okay this just goes to me yeah caught a. bad demon on the stagecoach yeah man. they just take a little blood call it a. day. oh let's get a question right here in.

this guy right here definitely kind of a. Gregory thing yep Robert well what's. happening guys this is Shane hey. Australia I am in Sidney Theo at the end. more show that you did that was great. this question is aimed more at Ethan. whoever who might recognize me from this. tattoo what is your own Thank You gang.

gang populace oh he's got all the. slogans Shangri again bless ya gang. bless rah. that's our pile of I've seen that tattoo. so many times it's it's a Rick and Morty. Rick Sanchez doing vape Nations I just. met with no I didn't meet with that. studio today I met with a minister your. bento box I met with some of those guys. um but let's focus on this guy man thank. you for coming out to the show there and. my favorite vid well vapenation such I. think vacations everything on my face.

that thing was like it was such a it was. like the vape God's blessed me because. mean he'll I just walked out with no. plan at all Wow I had an outfit and a. vape and a dream and the gods were. gracious because like I had all these. incredible interactions like he went to. the vape store and the guys were amazing. we went did we were walking down the. street and the news was live which is. some. that I had never seen that were great. that didn't really [ __ ] live and we're. beeping in the marry me yes he engaged.

the answering is crazy and like I mean. everything was going on there we were in. Central Park and I was yelling at the. police and they interact with me. we went down to Central Park and a cop. let me sit in his [ __ ] car and vape I. mean it was all just the vape gods were. on my side you know everything was. beautiful about that video but another. one I'd say another favorite I don't. know that I did this video called a 90's. boy band where I was making fun of these. uh frosted tip deep tanned boy bands oh.

yeah and we just went on a whole. adventure through New York City where I. got this fake tan and frosted my tips. and I was on the subway applying tan it. stinks so bad by the way that tan yeah. you can get something that has smells a. little not as bad but I was amazed by. how foul-smelling and in a petting zoo. you know if you wear too much bronzer it. won't let you in certain petting zoos -. why is that it just the animals have a. bad reaction - they stop you and do they. have like a Pantone they they check your.

tan levels man I wouldn't have been. allowed in there for sure. yeah but that was fun that was a really. fun video yeah well but vapenation I. mean even for myself it's like it is. yeah it's beyond me it's funnier than. thank you babe nation what is it I had a. moment when you're talking about that. it's interesting how sometimes with. creativity if you just take that like. you said you had your girl or you you. know who's your partner in crime you had.

a camera you had a little bit of an idea. and then you went and sometimes that's. so much better than although it's true. in the world it is and sometimes and. most of the times it's way worse and. that's the problem that's the problem I. ran into is because I kept trying to. rebuttal that lightning and it was. always okay but ultimately it's it's. just it's it's tricky because sometimes. it's way better but most of the time. it's worse so it gets fresh the process.

gets frustrating and ultimately I think. you learned that you need to be more. structured and do more structure yeah. yeah. it's interesting cuz sometimes it's like. if something doesn't happen for the. first time if it's not exactly new which. is one of the reasons why I think I like. laughter is because it's such a you. didn't know it was coming. hmm and it's gonna be gone hmm and it's. just there's no denying that it you. can't hide the emotion right you can't.

hide the emotion you kid there's no. denying that it occurred and that it was. a it's almost like the Big Bang Theory. of communication hmm. you know it's like you know the first. thing my son learned to do was laugh and. smile is another trip it's crazy it's. the first thing they learn to. communicate is laughter it's like the. most deepest the deepest most primal. feeling we have it.

communicating feeling we have is is like. laughter mmm well obviously he cries. first lots of crying but but all you. were feeding him yeah but but ultimately. two weeks but but ultimately beyond that. it's laughter his feeding window was. closed yeah his feeding windows closed. when I need to be open big time his. feeling windows always open man he. gained a lot of weight though now he's a. bit eh uh he's a little food Pacino he's. fast. I mean he's chunky in a good way there's.

something beautiful about right around. six months went kids you can still kind. of hold them they'll be really kind of. chill sometimes but they're just getting. so alive that it's like man there's. something real beautiful about that age. question John stainless has a question. here too good did we answer that other. question uh yeah um you it was about -. your favorite video and good day brother. I'm trying to get over there to. Australia maybe with another comedian. we're trying to partner up a package and. come back over there nice this John. Stamos his son Ethan man just wanted to.

know if you ever plan on making any more. videos on your main channel or if you're. just focused on the podcast now because. we missed the main channel videos - so. anyway gang gang Papa bless this is a. appreciate that this is your last dude. that's gonna be the new show you know. yeah dangler. a recurring question we probably had. that about ten times yeah mom that's a. tough one to answer you know the truth. is by the way it's nice and everyone.

likes me I have a feeling that most. people hate me really I do. yeah I'm so refreshed when people are. nice to me and care about me you know. what reminds me that I think you're a. neat person is that you are your ability. to that I just feel you're transparent. hmm your transparency reminds it's just. such a it's such a nice quality I feel. like you have oh thank you that I think. it's just like Oh immediately oh I know. at least I'm I'm gonna be able to be. very real with this person and there's.

something that's very comfortable about. that I think for people because we don't. get that very much I think for me I. found it like I just think it's real. healthy you can't you don't want it like. that that could make you I mean that. makes me feel real bad at one point. that's like oh I'm assuming that. everyone out there hates me but at the. same time it's nice to be able to say. that you know it would levy. it alleviates the the pressure to be. able to say what that I think everyone. hates me something like that right you. know instead of holding that on it feels.

real serious if you hold on to something. like that. yeah yeah to get it out that's a good. point yeah yes so many think we don't. realize it we have to get it out then. you got to get it out I try to get as. much out as I can yeah even little. things little resentments we have young. people that [ __ ] [ __ ] hides and oh. yeah an episode a bad yeah absolutely. when did they at line turn it to just. did it was it always just murders and. [ __ ] well the two most watched shows in. the entire world Joe Rogan Dateline is. Dateline that popular oh I believe that. there's not I believe the two most.

consumed shows in the entire world and I. believe this wholeheartedly Oh Joe Rogan. and I've tried watching Dateline a. couple of times but I it just kind of. just feels like a poor man's like. Netflix series I was raised on it bro my. mother the first show we watched. together was America's most woman that. show was badass. she made me hold her hand when the parts. got scary and I was so [ __ ] scared. [ __ ] how old are you you need to convert. oh yes. Safford maybe did that show was badass.

when I was a kid though that was a real. [ __ ] they were catching criminals [ __ ]. yeah. I was scary as [ __ ] those guys scared. the [ __ ] out of me all those criminals. man my main channel here's the thing I. feel like I'm in a new phase of my life. I feel like at a certain point those. videos were exciting they were fun they. were great to do it was fulfilling me in. every way but I feel like on not just on. YouTube but in myself personally that.

those videos don't they don't fulfill me. anymore I find them to be I forced them. out and I have to pull my own teeth to. get the work done and although I know. people like it and frankly I like it to. the final product is always fun to look. at I just find that that um maybe that. life that part of my life is behind me. that being said I still have a studio in. my house that's ready to go if I ever.

feel the need to make one of those. videos what I like it happen yeah I like. the idea of just making one off when I'm. real inspired to do it when something. comes up then I'm like honey make a. video about that but I just feel like. you know I've been I was doing that for. a long time and and I think it's time to. to just open a new chapter and just be. there because a lot of Tywin. I've been doing the podcast for a while. now and I feel like just now recently. since Theodore was born that I really. feel like I'm doing the podcast right.

you know I was doing it but now I'm. really doing it yeah and I like that I. like that it's a new challenge I like. that it's testing of skills I like that. I'm working with other people that's. collaborative where if I'm making a. video it's all my shoulders and I feel. like I had a lot of resentment and. frustration from that mm-hmm. you know it's like it's also my [ __ ]. job like nobody can help me do this. I like collaborating with people you do.

and in the case of the podcast it was at. first was very difficult for me but I. found that it's it's been fantastic like. we have three cast members that are back. there and they've become a big part of. the show that's and I think that it's I. think it's great I think it's a really. fun dynamic it's fun it's exciting it's. a new experience is testing new skills. and myself and I think um I'm following. that feeling that there's something else. out there for me to do now yeah it's.

it's it's interesting man here you say. that it makes me think like so many. times I we often so many times it's it's. hard to move on it's hard to like I'm. really I'm really struggling recently. just you know I don't want to grow up I. just don't want to it's like what does. throwing up mean to you I think it means. like just like letting go your freedom. letting go I think I've always revolved. in such this kid space and myself mm-hmm.

dad I don't really know how I am as an. adult hmm and that's very scary to me. hmm. like I'm good I'll do well as a kid like. I was a kid it wasn't the most fun a lot. of times but I [ __ ] did a good job of. it do you have like positive adult role. models in your life I don't know I mean. I Brendon from King in the sting but so. probably not really he's not I mean he's. your he's a good dad but he's your.

contemporary yeah he's a muddy as a kid. looking up to an adult did you have any. positive adult role models no probably. not. me neither and I think that I wouldn't. do the same thing is that I I think a. lot of the anxiety and pressure I was. feeling too was kind of a a in a sense. not wanting to grow up hmm and and I. think the problem is that you never saw. an adult who was content and happy and. and you thought hey that's cool that's a. good thing that's something I wanted.

Peter something I want to do is aging. gracefully and be more mature. Payne [ __ ] bills and having a kid and. you know what I mean all the things that. but for me that was all scary [ __ ] that. oh yeah he's so scary I associated with. negative things but it's you know but. yeah I think at some point yeah what. you're saying is that yet getting to a. place and then embracing it right. instead of living on both sides of the. fence and yeah you know it's inevitable. right so right yeah and also though I.

think some of it is - it's like it's fun. to like still be young while I can. ya know young and not and you can it's. some things I can't do like I can't you. know you can't date some of these young. girls you have to go out and pretend. like you never [ __ ] like her - some. movies like you can't even mention any. movies you like because they've never. heard them and it's so [ __ ] scary to. just you mean like old movies or new. what do you movies yeah I feel old. oh that even when I'm in a conversation. if there's like a young you know like.

you're not a young girl but I mean I. know g-man yeah I know what you mean. you're like [ __ ] dude I am an adult now. yeah it's happening and I need to get on. board with it how old are you I'm 39 man. I'm gonna don't you look youthful oh. thanks man yeah you look youthful thank. you you look younger the last time I saw. you maybe it's the haircut or maybe it's. the pills you know we definitely know. anything I don't know what I always look. older than I am real always people swim. I'm like 50 Oh what just I don't know if. that's good or bad but I think you it's. kind of funny I'm gonna live till I'm a. hundred but I'll die when I'm 60 yeah.

you know what I mean weird type of. people think I'm like some weird lecture. on HeLa like I'm some dude who dates. outside his age by like a decade but I'm. like nah dude we're two years apart but. what were we talking come I agree it's. hard to move on and I think that maybe. want one of the one of my strengths. maybe is just knowing when it's time to.

move on hmm certain points in my life. where I've just you know it's tough and. especially the fans are resistant to and. they make you question your own decision. to move on but ultimately you know. ultimately you'll know before they will. and so it's tough on you it's tough on. them. stuff on you because they don't want you. to move on but you know for yourself you. have to move on and they and you know. they they don't know that they don't. know what you feel they just want more. of the same. but the truth is these people will get.

tired of the same [ __ ] too and then. they'll eventually leave and you're just. stuck in a rut doing the same stupid. [ __ ] song good dance you've been. doing for a decade and nobody's happy. anymore you most importantly aren't and. the fans don't care they don't they say. he's [ __ ] stale right yeah there's. you have to yet there's a there's a. gracious time to let you to eat to. evolve right now like a worm there's. only a worm you know I'm finally like. [ __ ] y'all and people are like oh this. [ __ ] war you're gonna quit being a.

worm do you out of your mind is the best. [ __ ] weed moist out voices hog dude. is a rain coming tomorrow and he's like. oh yeah [ __ ] y'all brah they flies by.

Theodore right now is he's just got this.

beautiful smile. he's just when he's just expressing joy. it's a beautiful thing I can't wait to. talk to him I can't wait for him to be. able to sit up on his own to walk I. can't wait to communicate with him man. that's so exciting to me to be able to. know what he's thinking and what's going. on in there cuz he's a little person he. was marinating inside of there and I. can't wait to to know to know who he is. you know like a pinata almost kind of. we're right I don't I don't hit him with. the stick there's not candies inside I.

don't want to kill no yeah but I but in. other ways he is I do want to hang him. from a tree no I don't do that I'm not. sure what in what ways he's like a. pinata yeah I don't know it's a colorful. colorful we decide yeah there it is. there you go. Nick a time right there um I can't wait. to do stuff cuz right now he he's still. very young yeah he can't do it very. walking really no that mine no but I'm.

excited to like take him places to stuff. and let's go on you know tell them about. life film dad ship teaching about policy. probably yeah mm-hmm or Wiener in the. future there's what the one yeah that. talk I hope it doesn't come for a while. I'm not looking for to talk to him about. [ __ ] yeah but that day will come I'm. sure well you want to give him the talk. right now you and I can give it to him. together this is your dad from the past. yeah well Theodore Theodore there'll be.

a time where and I'm just your dad's. friend it'll be a time where you'll have. to explain to your tier partner why your. penis is so small. just know that's my fault the micropenis. is my fault son but also let them know. that they it's doesn't really losing. their virginity doesn't count if it's a. micro penis right that doesn't count. you got a fist someone and you gotta go. elbow deep to lose your virginity am I.

talking about noodling bro yeah that'd. be an Olympic sport by the end um Nick. anything else pertinent that you wanted. to hit I was a little curious if you're. like worried about him growing up like. with the how much you know about the. Internet and then as he gets older like. discovering stuff on his own or about me. or just on the Internet no just on the. Internet just who the Internet's [ __ ]. tariffs I don't know how these young. kids because me and you we grew up the. first time I saw a smartphone I was in. college yeah the first time I saw yeah.

smartphone definite first time I had a. cell phone I was I was at 20 and so and. you know III am I'm scared I seem like. they're actually buh-burn and made a. great this great video about it our. movie about it eighth grade mmm-hmm it's. but I never thought about how these kids. grow up with Instagram and all these. social medias and these little [ __ ]. kids with smartphones in like you know. middle school and it's yeah it's scary. it terrifies me I don't I just I never.

grew up with that so I almost don't know. how to relate to that that kind of. social pressure I know that like the. social pressures you feel just as a as a. as a prepubescent or in high school or. middle school is is you know already. stressful but the added stress of like. interacting with people on Instagram do. people like myself like me people are. like trashing on people on Instagram. there's like bowling on Instagram and. there's all these cliques the cyber. cliques and I mean it's it's it's scary.

I hope that I can um I hope that I can. you know give give him guidance through. that because I I'm not sure what it's. like to grow up like that I think. keeping him hume and you know try and. keep him in human spaces you know where. he's revving real feelings and things. that are you know actual emotions and. stuff and not just reactions mmm. I think a lot of these kids are it's. just more reactive it seems. like the way that they live kind of with. electronics but yet I don't know like my.

nice thought imagination was an app and. that really so crazy how what was the. context of that just like y'all say you. know your imagination he's like what do. you mean I was like use your imagination. really he's like I don't think we have. it I'll check my mom's phone and I was. like all right well yeah but that you. know that's not far off it's terrifying. and I'm afraid of like I mean it must. tear apart there I mean the self-esteem.

you know you got to put pictures of. yourself online I mean when I was that. age I I couldn't look at photos of. myself I I it it would ruin my day to. see a photo of myself at that age yet. these kids got to put photos of. themselves online and try to compete. with like the handsome kids in their. school and [ __ ] you know it's it's it's. tough I don't know how these kids are. gonna grow up but do you think in the. end that it all equates back to exactly. the same way it was just the medium is a. little different now I'm starting to.

probably more or less I mean when I I. mean more or less you know I think we. don't know them because the electronic. thing it is different there's this weird. other reflective surface in the world. that wasn't there when we were well you. know it's not all bad either. I mean you have a ton of knowledge at. your fingertips I think that I think. that it gives them certain coordinating. skills and you know I've read studies. like being in being in a 3d world can. kind of help your brain like playing.

video games in a 3d world can enhance. your perception and why are your brain. in a different way that the for in a. good way really yeah because you you. because it's kind of a it's kind of a an. incredible task to be able to to. actualize a 3d space on a 2d monitor if. you're playing a video game and you're. wandering around and you're you're. you're really existing in this 3d world. but it's just on a screen I mean that. takes a lot of brain power I feel like.

and a lot of educating just happens that. we enjoy it we like doing it but I think. that that definitely taps into some kind. of part of our brain that. that could be good I really do think so. I think a lot of that kind of stuff is. is over maybe over his alarmist stuff I. grew up playing video games you know. right yeah me too I loved him we played. it a ton I'm not worried about video. games so much as I am about the the. social pressure of being on Instagram.

when at 12 yeah the social media was it. would definitely be different if there. was because at least whenever we left. home and stuff when we went home from. school and stuff that was Instagram. school was Instagram and it was gone. when she left there right right go home. and have a life outside of there that. was separate and it was and I looked in. the mirror a couple times a day and. that's when I saw myself it wasn't like. I'm trying to find good good angles I. think I represent myself and I rethought. about that yeah yet I got home to see. the mirror to even [ __ ] see yourself. you look like [ __ ] I only need to remind.

myself I look like [ __ ] three times a. day not every time I put my phone yeah. it's tough and I don't know how I deal. with that as a young kid I'm I'm a. little bit worried about that but I'll. you know hopefully you'll navigate it. man. hopefully I did it right what can. Theodore's problem yeah that's true we. did it he's got to deal with the [ __ ]. world that's burning yeah and Instagram. you [ __ ] I'll be dead by I'll be dead. so it's his problem. look man any kid that for [ __ ] two. weeks is sucking on a dry tip bro I. [ __ ] respect he's a warrior.

you'll be fine yeah that's a good point. Ethan thanks so much man mmm thank you. thank you for inviting happy for you bro. and I love uh I wish to be gotten to. maybe talk a little bit more about like. some of the mental health stuff but just. for my own well-being you know I was. it's hard to get into that it's hard to. find the right you can't always do it. the groove I'm here though you won't. keep talking oh it's up to you you. trying to end this obviously you're.

trying to end this you got [ __ ] to do. your busy guy your busy guy I have. enough I just have an appointment at. 4:00 p.m. what time is it oh you know. what we'll do your will do yours okay. this has been a you know there's been a. good experience sometimes for me it's. also about sometimes it's just like it's. easier than other times. mm-hmm I know exactly what you mean you. know mm-hmm it's just easier to like be. in a place um. I think even being as aghast sometimes. it's easier for me definitely like yes. that be and not a guess is all it for me. it's very tough sometimes. hmm but but do you inspired us to get.

this office space good I love what you. guys did the space is incredible I don't. know if you ever showed a tour we have. we really just kind of finish buttoning. up like these these counters in this. control room were the last part so I do. I was gonna pitch that to you like. shooting like a crib style it's a good. idea the first time we've actually been. comfortably like had Nick in there where. it's we did it one other time but this. is it's really nice it's all just. evolving so but yeah I remember you. saying I think there's a space in our.

building when I was here hmm on your. podcast yeah we're in the same building. did I use the bathroom before I had the. key already we did hear someone's coming. down the pipes yeah absolutely it was. definitely beautiful is like Africa no. you guys did an amazing job in here you. changed the carpet to a oh no they put. in new carpet for you guys yeah they had. some mannequins somebody was storing. mannequins in here which was lazy as. [ __ ] that's like a Doctor Who episode. and I wanted them I said keep our. mannequins were in at least two there. were two in the negotiations broke and.

specifically with them. no they ended up taking them specific. ones they were like no way these are off. limits and I'm like what the [ __ ] like. okay sorry I didn't know you know huh. but it would definitely got interesting. with the [ __ ] it's interesting what. people do in the offices my kinfolk they. call them can [ __ ] your mannequin how do. you sexually identify i sexually. identify as a straight male mm-hm. by an area is that binary um I don't. know they embody all that he's binary.

I don't think she seemed like kind of.

desperate to me yeah but she's also very. I do I love her well I want some / dance. as if someone was pretty entertaining.
