1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,240 Well folks, it's happened, it's here. 2 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:13,880 It is officially the premiere of the Taylor Talking podcast. 3 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,880 Da da da da! 4 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,880 Oh my god! 5 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:20,880 Yeah! 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,880 Woo! 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,160 I am really excited and I hope you guys are excited as well. 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:34,800 This is something that I have been thinking about for a while, but I never really thought 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:42,400 that I had what it takes to do it, so I didn't do it. 10 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:48,840 But I've been struggling a lot with my mental health lately and this is going to be an outlet 11 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:56,840 for me to talk about that because mental health is absolutely a stigma that is not addressed 12 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,160 enough in my opinion. 13 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,600 It's becoming more like, it's becoming more acceptable, it's becoming less taboo for 14 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,280 people to discuss their mental health issues. 15 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,240 And I'm really hoping this is a channel where people can listen to what I have to say, maybe 16 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,760 relate to what I'm saying and we can help each other, dig each other out of a hole because 17 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:25,640 that's kind of where I've been these past, honestly these past couple of years. 18 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,200 Ever since COVID, like everybody's life changed after COVID. 19 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,000 It doesn't even feel like we're living in the same world that I was born in anymore. 20 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000 I feel like I am literally in an alternate universe. 21 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,760 I wish so badly that I could go back in time to when I was a kid. 22 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:52,600 Before, before shit went down, man, I'm a millennial. 23 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,960 The first major memory I have is 9-11. 24 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,760 9-11 happened when I was in, I think, fifth or sixth grade. 25 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,680 And I just remember getting sent home early from school and my mom was at home with my 26 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,920 brother and the whole nation was just distraught. 27 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:15,880 The whole world was really kind of like, holy shit. 28 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,000 And yeah, that's my first major memory. 29 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,600 So you can imagine as millennials, we've kind of gotten a lot of shit thrown at us. 30 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,800 And this most recent thing being COVID. 31 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:37,880 It's pretty much something we've never experienced before in our lifetimes. 32 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,000 And my mental health really plummeted. 33 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,520 I have struggled with anxiety my whole life. 34 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,520 I haven't been, like, actually diagnosed with it until recently. 35 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,040 I think I actually got, like, actually medically diagnosed with anxiety two or three years 36 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,240 ago. 37 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,240 But I have struggled with it my whole entire life. 38 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,440 I just didn't know what it was when I was younger. 39 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,520 And being stuck at home and quarantined did not help that. 40 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,000 Just like a lot of other people. 41 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,480 I got in a really dark place with myself. 42 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,480 I stopped working out. 43 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,840 I stopped eating healthy. 44 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,440 I stopped brushing my teeth. 45 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,760 I stopped showering. 46 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,480 Like, I work from home. 47 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,840 So I was spending all day every day at my house. 48 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,520 I wasn't going anywhere. 49 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,520 And I don't talk on the phone or anything for work. 50 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,520 I take chats. 51 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,120 There were literal days that would go by where I realized I hadn't said an actual word out 52 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,160 loud for, like, two or three days. 53 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:42,240 So you can imagine the mental state that I was in. 54 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,360 Luckily I did meet my boyfriend around the time that COVID really started getting bad. 55 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,760 Like, we met in June of 2020. 56 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:59,280 So like, January is when it really got super bad and then June was, you know, people still 57 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,560 wearing masks and mandates, but the vaccine wasn't around yet. 58 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,880 You know what I'm talking about. 59 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,880 So he is a sweetheart. 60 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,280 He's absolutely helped me throughout all of this. 61 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,840 I don't know where I would be without him. 62 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,840 I don't even want to think about where I would be if he never came into my life. 63 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:28,280 But yeah, so I've struggled with anxiety and a lot of depression these past couple of years. 64 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:31,400 And I don't want to anymore. 65 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,920 But the thought of going to a therapist terrifies me. 66 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,400 And when I actually get the strength to look one up online, going through all of the different 67 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,040 options gives me anxiety. 68 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,920 And it's just a whole process that turns into a whole situation. 69 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,920 And it's not fun. 70 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,920 It's not fun at all. 71 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,080 I'm anybody that has anxiety knows exactly what I'm talking about. 72 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,080 But I need to talk to somebody. 73 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,280 I need to go to therapy. 74 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:02,400 I need to see a psychiatrist. 75 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,840 I need something because what I'm doing now is not cutting it. 76 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:13,400 I keep having these panic attacks for literally no reason. 77 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,760 I've multiple times just been sitting on the couch with my boyfriend watching TV and, you 78 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,640 know, just watching a movie. 79 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,040 Watching a show, literally no stress. 80 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,400 We haven't been, you know, whatever. 81 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,240 There's literally nothing that brings these on. 82 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,880 I'm just sitting on the couch and all of a sudden my brain's like, oh my God, you're 83 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,880 dying. 84 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,880 You're going to die. 85 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,880 You're dying right now, Taylor. 86 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,880 Everything is going to end. 87 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,040 This is the end of your life. 88 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,080 And then I have to be like, shut the fuck up, brain. 89 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,320 No, it's not. 90 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,160 And it's so crazy. 91 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,480 I think to myself all the time, like my boyfriend, he is such a good person. 92 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,840 He has the most level head of anybody I've ever met. 93 00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:59,520 Like he's so mentally stable. 94 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,480 It doesn't make sense. 95 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,960 His brain is absolutely wired in a completely different way than mine is. 96 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,520 And I wish I could just live in his brain for an hour, not even a day. 97 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:24,520 Just give me one hour of peace because in my brain, it's like a rolling dumpster fire. 98 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:35,280 It's one of those situations where you have to laugh to keep from crying. 99 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,440 And sometimes you can't even like laugh. 100 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,040 You literally just have to cry. 101 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,320 I was actually funny that I say that a couple of nights ago. 102 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,160 I was watching a movie with my boyfriend. 103 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,720 It was the Elvis movie, actually. 104 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:57,600 And you know, the end of the movie, they're going through the old footage of him performing 105 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,760 and going through, you know, everything that happened and how he's the number one solo 106 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,600 performing artist of all time. 107 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,840 And like I just started bawling my eyes out, which is something that's normal for me to 108 00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:10,000 do if I watch a movie. 109 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,960 Like I cry so easily when it comes to movies or shows, what have you, if there's an emotional 110 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,960 scene nine times out of 10, I'm crying. 111 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,960 So we're watching this movie. 112 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,720 My boyfriend and I were watching and it's the end of the scene where everything's getting 113 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,120 sentimental and my boyfriend looks over at me. 114 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,120 He's like, are you crying yet? 115 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:32,080 I was like, not anymore, but I was. 116 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,200 But I was like, everybody needs a good cry every now and then. 117 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,600 Like everybody needs a good cry session. 118 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,520 You could be the happiest person in the world. 119 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,240 A good sob session for like 15 minutes. 120 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,960 Sometimes, like you sleep so good after it. 121 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,240 The only downside is your face is super puffy when you wake up, but there's like masks and 122 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,240 serums that can help with that nowadays. 123 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,600 So yeah, everybody needs a good cry. 124 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,280 I will stand by that. 125 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,600 Oh my God, I'm so mentally ill. 126 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:18,440 So, a lot of people have been asking me what is the Taylor Talking podcast and my answer 127 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,600 to that so far is, I don't know. 128 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,720 I don't know what it is yet. 129 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,280 I am still trying to figure that out. 130 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:31,600 I have never done anything like this in my life before, but I really love talking and 131 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,000 I've been told that I'm good at it. 132 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:44,720 So I wanted to see where things could go and hopefully you guys like it. 133 00:08:44,720 -->

and stepdad's 147 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,840 first time, but my boyfriend had been there before. 148 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,640 But I don't remember how long ago. 149 00:09:53,640 --> 00:10:00,760 So I'm going to have him on in a little bit and we're going to talk about that. 150 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:06,280 We're also going to talk about why I didn't premiere my episode on May 1st like I said 151 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,320 I was going to. 152 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,280 It has a lot to do with the mental health stuff that we were talking about. 153 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,480 Yeah, it was weird. 154 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,480 I got back from vacation and I felt great for about two days and then I kind of went 155 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,520 down into a slump and it was not fun. 156 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,880 But I'm getting better, I think. 157 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,200 I don't know, we'll see. 158 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,640 It'll be more fun when Drew's on here talking about our vacation. 159 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,960 Hi Tito, welcome to the Taylor Talking podcast. 160 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,400 He's sniffing up. 161 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,360 I really hope the microphone just picked him up. 162 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,360 He sure did. 163 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,360 Sniffing. 164 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:01,360 So I have my boyfriend Drew with me say hi Drew. 165 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,360 Hello everybody. 166 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,360 You were supposed to say hi Drew. 167 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,280 Hello everybody. 168 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:18,360 I was going to ask you a couple of questions about our vacation that we took to New Orleans. 169 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,480 Shoot, go for it. 170 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,200 The first one, when did you first go to New Orleans? 171 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,080 Because I remember you said that you went but I don't remember how long ago. 172 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,080 That was in 2009. 173 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,520 2009, that's the year that I graduated high school. 174 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,760 I was doing cool shit. 175 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,720 He was doing cool shit in New Orleans. 176 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,600 Why did you originally go to New Orleans? 177 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,320 I mean, it involves a past relationship. 178 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,600 Do you really want to get into it? 179 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,240 I mean, you can leave the nitty gritty out. 180 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,240 So it was a trip for fun. 181 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,240 I didn't say that. 182 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,640 Okay, it was a trip for fun. 183 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,880 Got it, got it. 184 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,000 Was our trip more fun than that trip was? 185 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000 Definitely. 186 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,840 Yeah, that one sucked in 2009. 187 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,880 And I mean, honestly, it was just because of who I was with. 188 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,880 So it was one of those deals. 189 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,880 You know how it goes. 190 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,480 Yeah, I understand that feeling. 191 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,720 Yeah, I definitely. 192 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,520 The relationship that I have with you is the first relationship I've ever had where I haven't 193 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,960 fought a whole vacation. 194 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,480 So that was nice. 195 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,480 Yeah. 196 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,800 I mean, I've grown up a lot too since then. 197 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,320 So I mean, I have two. 198 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,320 So I guess there's that. 199 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,720 All right. 200 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,520 Question number two. 201 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,280 What was your favorite part of our trip? 202 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,080 What a just a broad question. 203 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,080 I don't know. 204 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,080 There's a lot of good. 205 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,080 There's a lot of good things. 206 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,520 I don't know. 207 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,360 Favorite thing. 208 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,360 I don't know. 209 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,360 Just a general. 210 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,360 The weather. 211 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,360 There we go. 212 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,360 The weather was my favorite. 213 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,360 That's lame. 214 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,360 It's not lame. 215 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,360 It's fucking true. 216 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,360 It was absolutely gorgeous. 217 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,360 It was gorgeous. 218 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,240 I'm sad that you didn't get to go to the World War II Museum because you probably would 219 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,960 have said that that was your favorite thing. 220 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,960 Maybe. 221 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,760 I mean, I've been there before. 222 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,760 Oh, I never mind. 223 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:11,760 I didn't know that. 224 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,760 All right. 225 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:20,400 Yeah, I guess I had a really good time. 226 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:28,480 I think my favorite part was our river boat cruise dinner thingy. 227 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,480 Yeah, that was awesome. 228 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,480 I thought that was a lot of fun. 229 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:39,720 Yeah, the lady that played the little pipe organ thingy at the beginning. 230 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,960 I couldn't even tell it was a lady. 231 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,960 I thought it was a man. 232 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:42,960 Straight up. 233 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,960 Did she have short hair? 234 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,960 Sure. 235 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,600 I thought it was a lady, but maybe it was a man. 236 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,600 I don't know. 237 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,960 Maybe it was a dude, but could it have been a lady? 238 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,760 You just never know anymore. 239 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,960 You never know. 240 00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:00,280 Yeah, the food on that thing was really, really good. 241 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,480 That seafood pasta, I think, was my favorite, though. 242 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,480 Yeah. 243 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,720 The food was good. 244 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,160 I went up a couple of times for sure. 245 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,160 And the dessert. 246 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,160 The dessert was the best part. 247 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,600 What did they say it was? 248 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,600 Bananas Foster? 249 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,600 We thought it was like praline, but it was like Bananas Foster. 250 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,600 It was so good. 251 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,280 Yeah, it was pretty tasty. 252 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:28,040 So yeah, the trip there and back was a lot better than when we went to Vegas. 253 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,560 Yeah, it was better than Vegas, but it was not better than Arizona. 254 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,560 I don't know. 255 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,360 The trip there sucked because it was like six, seven hours of flying. 256 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,360 Yeah, but I mean, it wasn't terrible because we weren't even flying the whole time. 257 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,360 It was mostly just a layover. 258 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,480 Well, either way, I was not impressed. 259 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,480 Unimpressed. 260 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,480 Yeah, I don't know. 261 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,480 It is what it is. 262 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,440 You know, you get there. 263 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,880 All the landings were all right. 264 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,760 I don't remember anything being super sketchy. 265 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,480 I mean, there was a little bit of turbulence. 266 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Yeah, there was like one part that got, but it wasn't even like even that wasn't that 267 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,120 bad. 268 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,680 No, I've had worse for sure. 269 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,240 And funny enough, the worst time of turbulence I've ever had was the first time I went to 270 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,240 New Orleans. 271 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,360 It was one of those where like there was a thunder. 272 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,200 I remember you told me that there's a thunderstorm that popped up. 273 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,320 We were flying in and they're coming down through it and the turbulence got so bad. 274 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,560 I thought I was going to die. 275 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,080 Everybody on the plane thought they were going to die. 276 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,880 It was literally everyone screaming white knuckles. 277 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,880 That's terrible. 278 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:30,880 That's nothing. 279 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,880 No, thank you. 280 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,880 I don't want anything to do with that. 281 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,720 It was so bad that they they rerouted. 282 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:41,160 They went to Gulfport, Mississippi, which is kind of across the, you know, the crescent 283 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,920 bootleg shape there across the Gulf. 284 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,920 Sorry. 285 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,040 In New Orleans, you know, it's shaped like a boot, right? 286 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,600 So across from the boot is Mississippi. 287 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,800 And that's where we landed. 288 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,280 And the turbulence was so bad and the flight crew came on and they said, if you get off 289 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,040 the plane, you know, you can't get your luggage. 290 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:09,400 You have to literally have to rent a car, drive to the airport in, you know, New Orleans 291 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,480 and pick up your luggage. 292 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,600 So but still half the plane got off anyway, because it was it was that bad. 293 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,320 Like I was very shaken. 294 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,640 But did you stay on the plane? 295 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,640 Of course I did. 296 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,360 I didn't have the money for or the will. 297 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:31,040 No, I mean, it was 2009, the whole market crash thing, you know, like it was a, I didn't 298 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,040 have a lot of money back then. 299 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,120 Kind of like what's going on right now, everything's so fucking expensive. 300 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,320 I don't know. 301 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,640 But no, we stayed on and then we made it. 302 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,240 You know, they just stayed there for about an hour till the storm passed and it was all 303 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,240 good after that. 304 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,960 But it was it was gnarly. 305 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,320 I thought I was going to die. 306 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,320 Yeah. 307 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,760 Luckily, we did not have any of that on our trip because I would have had a panic attack 308 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,520 and chat myself. 309 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,640 But yeah, the trip out there was good other than the layover. 310 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,680 The trip back home went a lot faster. 311 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,680 My parents had a good time. 312 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:08,920 They are thinking of moving to New Orleans now. 313 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,680 I want to move to New Orleans now. 314 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,920 Yeah, we had a great time. 315 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,920 Really did. 316 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,600 Probably one of the best vacations I've ever done. 317 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,040 Hands down the best vacation I've ever been on. 318 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,360 And yeah, we had a really good time in Vegas. 319 00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:26,600 We had a really good time in Arizona, especially because Arizona was a free vacation. 320 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,960 But yeah, this one, I don't know what it was. 321 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,400 Just like being there with your family. 322 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,400 The weather, you're right. 323 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,480 The weather did help out a lot because it was absolutely perfect. 324 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,880 Yeah, it wasn't humid. 325 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,000 It wasn't like really, there was one morning where it was kind of rainy, but even then 326 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000 it cleared up. 327 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,040 Yeah, about 75 and breezy. 328 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,360 Just a beautiful breeze the whole time we were there. 329 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:48,360 The food. 330 00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:50,280 Probably kept it from smelling really bad. 331 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,200 Yeah, mom said it usually smells really bad in the summer. 332 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,360 No, everything was cool. 333 00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:02,160 We only saw it like probably only a handful of truly like scary, crazy people, you know, 334 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,160 which I don't want to. 335 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:12,000 Well, you were in the hotel hungover, but mom and Jimmy and I saw this like homeless 336 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,680 man getting arrested because apparently he just like went up and punched a random stranger 337 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,680 on the sidewalk and then ran away. 338 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,480 Like dusted this dude and then was just like, peace. 339 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,600 Yeah, there's a lot of, there's a lot of, I don't want to say sick in a bad way. 340 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,040 Just mean mentally unstable mental health, you know, it's pretty bad in the country. 341 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,000 And well, even like our Uber driver was saying like they don't do anything to help like the 342 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,320 mentally ill homeless people. 343 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,160 Like there's no like shelters or support or anything that they can go to. 344 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,680 Yeah, it's been like that for way too long. 345 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,480 So unfortunately we did see some people who were suffering a little bit, but for the most 346 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,680 part they were doing okay for the most part. 347 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,960 Yeah, was not. 348 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,640 I guess I had to kind of built up differently in my head just from news stories I had seen 349 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,600 because at one point I think last year, you were legit concerned. 350 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,480 Well, because there was news stories like it at one point it overtook Chicago is like 351 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,320 the homicide capital of the United States. 352 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,720 Well, now isn't like homicide legal in Chicago. 353 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,560 I don't find they just like pass some crazy law or are going to pass some crazy law that 354 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,160 makes like manslaughter or something legal. 355 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:19,640 Yeah, I mean, there's, there's a lot of stuff that they've been just kind of letting slide 356 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,480 for the last three or four years. 357 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,600 You know, defund the police and all that stuff. 358 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,600 So I don't know. 359 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:31,520 We had a great time and honestly the whole 98% of the time I was there I felt safe as 360 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,520 can be. 361 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:33,520 So I would agree. 362 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,520 Yeah. 363 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,120 I, yeah, I can't wait to go back. 364 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:40,120 So segue. 365 00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:41,120 Yeah, it's just segue. 366 00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:42,120 Oh, excuse me. 367 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,120 I learned that the other day. 368 00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:44,120 I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. 369

00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,040 I didn't say we're stupid. 570 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,040 Yeah. 571 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,040 Yeah. 572 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,240 I hate to even say that. 573 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,440 So some of these conspiracy theories that I don't even know what you're going to talk 574 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:21,080 about, but I do like the idea of talking about the word and the concept of conspiracy. 575 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:27,600 And the fact that the conspiracy theory term itself is a conspiracy theory. 576 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:36,080 Well, like they came up with it when JFK was assassinated and they basically came about 577 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,400 with it because people that were spitting the truth, they were like, no, no, we can't 578 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,400 have this. 579 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,640 We got to make people think that they're crazy. 580 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,160 It's a conspiracy man. 581 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,160 Yeah. 582 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,120 But and then the same thing happened with 9 11. 583 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:54,200 The people were using the internet to spew truths about how it was an inside job. 584 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,720 And then the government was like, no, no, no, we have to flood the internet with conspiracy 585 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:58,720 theories. 586 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,760 So people think that this is just another conspiracy theory. 587 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,200 It sounds like you've been looking into this a little bit. 588 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,800 I don't like conspiracy theories. 589 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,800 Sorry. 590 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,800 Did I? 591 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:10,800 You were right. 592 00:28:10,800

Those are the real thing is nowadays like nothing's a conspiracy anymore nowadays. 603 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,560 Like everything everybody just knows everything is fucked. 604 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,400 Yeah, like all the Holly weird shit. 605 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,280 Well, I mean, but I think we should acknowledge some of the conspiracy theories have come 606 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,280 true in the last. 607 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,280 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 608 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,880 Like they're not theories. 609 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,880 They're fucking facts. 610 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:06,880 It is crazy. 611 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,640 I mean, it's a crazy world. 612 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,520 The news cycle is just so bonkers. 613 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,520 I can't even look at it. 614 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,520 I don't watch the news. 615 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,360 Yeah, it's but then in the back of your head, you have all this shit swirling around about, 616 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,320 you know, like you know, 9 11 and JFK. 617 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:25,040 But you know, it's some of it's not that far fetched. 618 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:33,720 Honestly, like you start to think of this in a not like brainwashed way. 619 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:41,360 Like we're so fucking brainwashed and indoctrinated straight out of the womb to believe. 620 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,720 Like anything that our parents say or like anything that a person of power says, well, 621 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,360 you just don't question anything. 622 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,880 But like no millennials and Gen Z are like, we're going to question everything. 623 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,600 We're not going to stop until you tell us the truth. 624 00:29:54,600 --> 00:30:01,560 OK, see, I agree because I think, you know, even though there is so much more crazy disinformation, 625 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,960 misinformation, malinformation, whatever the fuck you want to call it. 626 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,960 Fake news. 627 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,960 There you go. 628 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,840 God, I if Donald Trump would have patented that fucking phrase, you're fired. 629 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,160 No, no, I know it would be just like you're fired. 630 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,560 Dude, he'd be so fucking rich. 631 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:18,560 He already is. 632 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:19,560 He doesn't need. 633 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:20,560 Well, maybe he does anymore. 634 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,560 Maybe broke now. 635 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,440 Yeah, I'm just saying that the term when he first came out with it, like everyone was 636 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,880 like, what the fuck now? 637 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,400 Everybody uses it all the time. 638 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,480 There's like so much merchandise with it. 639 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,880 And yeah, but no. 640 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,600 So yeah, there's all that stuff out there. 641 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,760 But I think that the current like you said, the current generation is better off than 642 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:45,440 like my parents were because back in the day, yeah, all you had was like six o'clock. 643 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,680 The newspaper and the newspaper. 644 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,400 So they had total control over it. 645 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,080 So even then, like back then, they didn't even use it the way they do now. 646 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,120 They actually gave the news. 647 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,320 They weren't like I'm sure it was to a degree still like filtered. 648 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,200 Like the media is a fucking joke nowadays. 649 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:13,720 Like if you watch any fucking media streaming channel on TV like Fox or CNN or USA Today 650 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:19,880 or whatever the fuck, like it's all sham here we go to conspiracy theories again. 651 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,520 But it's all just a distraction. 652 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:28,240 And that's why like that's why fucking reality TV is national television now. 653 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,440 Like they talk about the fucking housewives and the Kardashians on national news and it's 654 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,440 stupid. 655 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,440 Yeah. 656 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,120 Well, you either got to do all of it or none of it. 657 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,680 Yeah, I don't know. 658 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:41,680 Do you? 659 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,120 Well, I'll say this. 660 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,760 The only good thing about it is if you do happen, you know, you're at a bar, you're 661 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,680 at an airport, you know, you get a doctor's office, wherever the fuck you are, where you 662 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,840 get subjected to it. 663 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,840 It lets you know how to deal with idiots that you're going to run into in the next week 664 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,520 that's coming up because, you know, this is what the news is. 665 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,320 So if there's idiots around you, this is what they're going to be talking about. 666 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,640 So you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, I heard about that. 667 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:11,640 Okay. 668 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaking of that's a great segue into sorry. 669 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,860 Sorry. 670
