1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,760
I think, I think this is going to work.

2
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:16,760
Perfect.

3
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,760
Thank you.

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:18,760
Welcome, Jer.

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:19,760
Okay.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:33,680
Let's jump into this.

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,680
It's just the two of us.

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,680
Do you want to chat for a little bit?

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,600
Look at that.

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,600
How's it going?

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,600
How's your day?

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:59,360
Oh, that's great.

13
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,360
I'm good.

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Just stepped inside for a bit to do this and it's fine because it was getting really, really

15
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,720
hot outside, so happy for the break.

16
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,080
But it's really exciting you got your vaccine.

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:26,720
I can't, I can't wait to get mine.

18
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,720
That's great.

19
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,720
And Liam's in here.

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,720
Hello.

21
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,720
Hello.

22
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:31,720
How are you?

23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,720
I'm good.

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,720
How are you?

25
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,720
I'm good.

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,720
Thank you.

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,040
Excited to get to you now.

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,040
We'll see how it goes.

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,040
I haven't done one of these before, so there might be some rambling to kind of keep, keep

30
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,040
everything going.

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,040
Okay.

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:54,640
As long as you guys don't have a problem with it because I'll just kind of babble for a

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,960
bit and I don't know, it might get a little boring at times.

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,880
Got it.

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,760
Sounds good.

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,760
Let's see.

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:14,080
I don't know how many people are actually going to be in this.

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:21,640
So might just be the three of us, but I'm cool with it.

39
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,200
Yeah.

40
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,760
Okay.

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:33,040
Well, might as well just jump right into it and start with this first one.

42
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,400
I'm just going to go down the line and kind of see how it goes.

43
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,120
What would you say is your preferred hobby to use for relaxation?

44
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:50,600
I think that's changed a lot, especially with COVID and quarantine.

45
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:56,720
I only really spent a week not working, so in that week I spent a lot of time reading

46
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,720
leisurely.

47
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,400
I'd kind of challenged myself at the beginning of that year before we knew any of this was

48
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,560
really going to take off.

49
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,920
I challenged myself to read 12 books, so one book a month because I hadn't been doing that.

50
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:15,440
I hadn't done that in years actually, so I bought 12 books from Amazon.

51
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,360
I already finished my January book.

52
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,440
I had double read in February and was hitting March and then all this happened and I think

53
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,400
with that one week not working, I was able to get through half of that book and then

54
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,720
jumped back into work.

55
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:40,680
So that was a really big thing for me to utilize as a way to decompress after work and still

56
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:48,160
now I try to do that, although work's been a lot more crazy now so it's been harder to,

57
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:55,120
but I would say that and running when I'm motivated to run are the biggest hobbies I've

58
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:03,840
picked up for really relaxing and not focusing on everything else that's happening.

59
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,520
So that's kind of where I'm at with that.

60
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,760
Oh you know what, I think another fun one was painting.

61
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:22,280
I always considered myself really untalented in the creative space.

62
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:29,440
My family members are very, I think, very talented artists and you know I could get

63
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,200
away with the stick figure and that was kind of a bummer for me.

64
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:43,640
So when I was cleaning out some things as I had moved, I noticed I had some paints lying

65
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:55,560
around and kind of bought into some more and picked up these just blank canvases and started

66
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:02,240
messing around and nothing is good, I promise you, so it's nothing I'll share because it's

67
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,840
not good.

68
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:11,160
But it's been a really cool way to express my color palette and just kind of work with

69
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:18,440
my hands a little bit in something that is visually creative, if that makes sense.

70
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,240
But yeah, that's probably another one.

71
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:31,840
Hi Don.

72
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:39,200
Just moving on, okay, so aside from generally not being rude, what can we all do to support

73
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,480
you as a person that started all of this?

74
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,120
You know, I think that's to be determined.

75
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,720
I definitely am toying with the idea of making you guys all pitch in money monthly so I can

76
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,720
get a bathtub.

77
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:05,840
It's been a serious thought of mine actually, so no one will get any pictures until I get

78
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:12,880
a bathtub, thought about it.

79
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:23,280
With a bathtub, absolutely, it'll be a long term investment, if you will.

80
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:30,800
I'm totally kidding, that's not it.

81
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:43,520
I tried, that was a stupid April Fool's thing.

82
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:50,880
Oh not at all, but I wouldn't spend all day in a bathtub, just enough, you just make most

83
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,360
of the time while you're in there, you know what I mean?

84
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:13,200
You know, plastic and heat isn't really good for your skin, and I've always wanted a bathtub,

85
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,720
so I'll put the link to the nicest bathtub and then I'll make sure you guys can have

86
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,640
something to work towards, how about that?

87
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:35,960
I'm totally kidding, that's just a stupid April Fool's thing, sorry Liam.

88
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:43,560
So really, aside from being rude, what can we do to support you?

89
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,120
Really just keep being cool people.

90
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:57,800
I think it's been a really funny thing, this whole spiel that's come out of it in the span

91
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:07,920
of a few days, and I don't know, I'm just kind of like speechless about it all actually.

92
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:17,840
So yeah, I think just keep being really genuine people, keep being honest, keep connecting

93
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:27,320
with each other and with me, and I think that's really all I can hope for, and I don't have

94
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:37,800
a full intention of what this is or what this could be or what I want out of it, I guess.

95
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,760
I think, I know I've mentioned this before when it came to someone asking me if I was

96
00:08:41,760 --> 00:09:01,960
an AI or if I was a real human, which I am.

97
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,600
I'm definitely a real human, a few of you can attest to this because I couldn't get

98
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,080
screen sharing to work, so I know Doc sat with me for a while and any AI could have

99
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:24,400
figured it out faster than I did, so there's that.

100
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,840
But yeah, when I have a better idea, I don't know, I've kind of thought about it and I

101
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,840
think I've always wanted to create a safe space for people to just, I think, talk about

102
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:42,600
things that they don't feel comfortable expressing in real life, and I feel like there's always

103
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:48,360
that behind the curtain person in everybody that just kind of wants to talk about, I don't

104
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,680
know, something that really interests them, and granted, a lot of it delves into their

105
00:09:53,680 --> 00:10:03,840
sexuality or what they find attractive or what their thing is, and I think for me and

106
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:11,560
what this server is, it's a lot of different things, but I think if the opportunity allowed,

107
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:20,400
I would make it more a space for people to chat about what gets them going and have it

108
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:27,520
be a space for people to feel more confident about themselves and kind of boost their own

109
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,560
self-esteem through all of it.

110
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:35,200
So I hope that makes sense, and I hope that kind of answers that question in a really

111
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,200
long-winded way.

112
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:50,760
Okay, thanks guys, yeah, Genuine's being tossed around a lot.

113
00:10:50,760 --> 00:11:01,080
I think for me as a person, I don't spend a whole lot of time fucking around with unnecessary

114
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,440
niceties.

115
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:12,680
It's not genuine, it's a waste of time, it's a waste of energy, and I don't think it behooves

116
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:20,760
anyone when you act that way towards them, because I think if I was on the receiving

117
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:26,920
end, I'd feel very pitiful about it, and I just don't want to make another person feel

118
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:33,080
that way unless they absolutely deserve it and are being a total asshat about it, but

119
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,080
that's besides the point.

120
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:40,000
I try to conduct myself in a very honest manner, so that's that.

121
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:48,960
Okay, you're hosting a dinner party for the boys, starter main dessert, what's your menu?

122
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:58,280
I haven't conducted a lot of dinner parties, I have to say, but I think starters are always

123
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,600
fun.

124
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:08,000
I love fruits and vegetables, so I'd have to say some kind of grilled fruit, or I'm

125
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:16,880
sorry, grilled vegetables, so zucchini is great, carrots, I love grilled carrots for

126
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:23,280
some reason, grilled corn or any kind of steamed vegetables is great, I know we kind of talked

127
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:29,760
about asparagus, I love Brussels sprouts, Brussels sprouts and bacon, I actually haven't made

128
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:40,320
that in a long time, that sounds so good, so yeah, some kind of veggie starter, and for

129
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:53,160
the main, I eat a lot of vegetables, but I love, love, love a good steak, and I can't

130
00:12:53,160 --> 00:13:01,480
even begin to stress this enough, like I eat a lot, and steak, like I will ask for the

131
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:08,520
largest steak, or I'll buy one from the grocery store, okay, I'll buy a really big steak,

132
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,000
and I will probably eat three quarters of it before absolutely tapping out, and love

133
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:23,200
every delicious moment of it, so yeah, some kind of steak prepared in a pan, not a grill,

134
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:30,680
because there's always some kind of smoky aftertaste that's kind of odd to me, and for

135
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:40,560
dessert, that's kind of hard, I don't eat dairy, like from a cow, so you know, and I'm

136
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:51,360
not a huge fan of cake, I love pie though, so probably a pie, but if it was for like,

137
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,120
like those are my favorites, if it was like a dinner party for other people, I'd definitely

138
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:00,600
be poking everybody's brains about what they liked, what they could eat, what they couldn't

139
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:06,600
eat, and then have a ton of variety on that, because I think, you know, making sure everyone

140
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:17,120
has something they can't eat is important, yeah, that answers that, right?

141
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,920
What's some of your all-time favorite music, and what's some recent stuff you've been digging?

142
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:29,280
Music's kind of hard, I listen to a lot of different genres, and it's really mood based,

143
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:38,800
so I want to say, gosh, it really just depends, the only thing, and I think I've mentioned

144
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:45,240
this before, like the only thing I will not listen to willingly is country music and reggae

145
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:54,360
and any type of like, death speed metal, those just don't do it for me, but I mean, I had

146
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,400
Warped Tour phase where I was listening to pop punk and alternative rock, and I still

147
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:07,760
love those bands to an extent, lately, I've been listening to a lot of lo-fi, I think

148
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:15,400
that's how you say it, right, it's not lo-fi, it's lo-fi, so I've been listening to a lot

149
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:23,320
of lo-fi, and I love those kinds of instrumentals, I think it's really easy to listen to, and

150
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,160
you don't feel like you're overwhelmed with like trying to listen to lyrics opposed to

151
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,520
like doing whatever it is you're trying to do, and for me, as of late, I felt a lot of

152
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:37,520
just, I'm easily distracted and my mind kind of like jumps, so it's really great to always

153
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:43,680
have that going, I know you guys have mentioned that the weather in most of your areas is

154
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:53,920
kind of gloomy, so in those kinds of instances, it's a lot of, I guess like Parisian inspired

155
00:15:53,920 --> 00:16:01,840
music and a lot of it, I love listening to very mellow, cafe-style music, and then I'll

156
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:13,640
dabble into like fifth, I want to make sure, forties and fifties music, so you know a lot

157
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,400
of those old bands, Etta James, let me just pull up my spot really quick so I really don't

158
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,960
fuck this up, because I know some people in here are really into music, and I'm not about

159
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:32,560
to make a fool of myself in front of said people, because that would make you look so

160
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:42,800
bad, we're not about that, I've been actually listening to some K-pop recently too, so that's

161
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:57,480
been interesting, here we go, so oh yeah some Bing Crosby, oh there's a lot of Bing Crosby

162
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,280
on this, oh this is the one I made, so I used to work, we're at a retirement home and I

163
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:08,480
do music therapy with them, so you know I have kind of an old soul and I like a lot

164
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:16,640
of the music that came out of that decade, and I don't know when it's raining and you

165
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:27,440
just kind of play that kind of sound, it's very relaxing to me, Frank Sinatra, Doris

166
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:40,960
Day, Smarty Shaw is good too, I mean yeah you guys kind of catch my drift on that, it

167
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:48,720
really is just mood dependent, favorite bands, I could tell you the longest standing band

168
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:56,880
that I have just the softest spot in my heart for is Fallout Boy, and I'm sorry but it just

169
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:09,480
it lives, yeah they were one of the first bands I really got into and I don't know still

170
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,920
like anything that comes out about them just like makes my heart beat a little bit faster,

171
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:23,520
it's so stupid because some of their stuff recently wasn't very good, so I don't know

172
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:35,640
whatever it is they put out I'll pick up, yeah so that's kind of like an all-time favorite

173
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:45,840
music band of mine, but yeah I don't know to be honest with you I put everything on

174
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,280
shuffle and I just kind of like a lot of stuff and I never, and I'm really bad at this so

175
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:58,280
I apologize, but I never really hone in to like who's producing it, who's singing it

176
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:05,800
and follow their line back to their origin, I really just sit there and shuffle and like

177
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:11,160
curate a bunch of songs that I like and you know who makes them or when they made them

178
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:19,240
or whatever is like a fleeting thought to me, so I'm sorry I can't answer that question

179
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:33,440
a little bit more in detail, yeah favorite concert you've been or act you've seen live,

180
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:42,000
I used to work at a concert venue so I've definitely seen my fair share, I think being

181
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:56,320
in attendance of gosh you know I want to say I want it's kind of hard without sharing location

182
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:02,320
but I saw Rufus to soul live, I've seen them live twice and the first time I saw them live

183
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:13,200
I think was my favorite concert going experience because it was an outdoor location and it

184
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:25,040
just kind of was everything, it was great, it was a lot of visual and then you know listening

185
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:31,800
to the music and being a fan of their music too, it was a really fun experience and it

186
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:40,000
was at night so like the stars were out and you could really just vibe with everything

187
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:48,320
and yeah that was that I think is my most memorable and favorite thus far you know hopefully

188
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:59,040
with everything coming back it can be something new, what's one place that you definitely

189
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:07,400
want to visit and or live in your lifetime, that's a really great question, okay so there's

190
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,960
a few places I want to visit, I have an odd fascination with Canada and I always have

191
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:23,460
and I would love to visit Toronto, always wanted to go and every human I've ever interacted

192
00:21:23,460 --> 00:21:28,000
with was like oh yeah you love it, it's got all this great stuff yada yada yada so I'd

193
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:40,120
love to visit there, would also love to go to Spain, really I like architecture and couldn't

194
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:48,720
tell you any details on it but really enjoyed being in the presence of great architecture,

195
00:21:48,720 --> 00:22:02,040
I definitely was one that cried when the Notre Dame set ablaze that was really sad.

196
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:08,240
I've always wanted to go to South Africa too, I think it's always been a place I wanted

197
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:17,960
to at least visit, I'd like to go to Thailand, family member went a few years ago and really

198
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:27,400
had a great time and I think Tokyo just to say I've been, I want to say I'm an adventurous

199
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:40,840
eater but I'm not that adventurous, I don't think adventurous enough to really enjoy everything

200
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:48,240
that a lot of places have to offer in the form of food, at least in some of the Asian

201
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:57,320
countries I would love to visit just to see and be in the presence of that area but I

202
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:03,320
don't know if I couldn't eat or if I had to eat the same thing all the time because I

203
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,840
couldn't willingly eat something new it would be kind of a bummer for me.

204
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:17,920
So that's visiting, I would love to live in Paris, I went when I was younger and really

205
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:25,800
enjoyed it and I think would love to be in a European country that is very relaxed in

206
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:34,040
the form of day-to-day life and how it's conducted so I'd love to spend I think a year or two

207
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:44,360
in Paris and ultimately would love to live in Canada, I'd love to live in Western Canada.

208
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:52,720
I've been to Vancouver a handful of times now and essentially it's kind of like a better

209
00:23:52,720 --> 00:24:03,600
LA you know, I don't know I just I see myself living there for quite a long time so I think

210
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:13,840
I'd ultimately love to live there for an extended period of time, so yeah great question.

211
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,960
I miss traveling, I haven't gone in a long time, kind of a workaholic so it's hard for

212
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:28,520
me to peel myself away to want to take a vacation and then with COVID it's been hard being an

213
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:36,680
American trying to go anywhere outside of the states, so I'm really looking forward

214
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,680
to some of those areas opening up to us.

215
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,320
You look amazing in all your pictures, thank you, but do you have a personal favorite that

216
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,400
you shared so far?

217
00:24:49,400 --> 00:25:00,360
No, I don't know, I don't think so, I don't think any of them are my favorite, I don't,

218
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:08,160
I think they're fine, I think they're good pictures, I don't know if I'd consider anything

219
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:18,160
my favorite, there might be one that I haven't shared yet that I think is my favorite that

220
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:28,840
I'll probably post today I guess since that's the topic, yeah I guess I should probably

221
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:37,320
just drop that one since it's not there, yeah I know it's kind of hard to say, I've found

222
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:47,720
and taken a personal favorite for that just because I don't really look at them in that

223
00:25:47,720 --> 00:26:17,400
way, sorry, one moment, that row where'd it go, sorry guys, awkwardly, sorry, sorry guys,

224
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:45,760
awkwardly, one pause, welcome, welcome, some new faces in here, personal face, I don't

225
00:26:45,760 --> 00:27:11,640
know, okay so that, that should, yeah that I think would be, yeah we'll leave it at that,

226
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:27,080
that's that, anyways, where am I, serious question, why are you so fire, you know genetics

227
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:39,240
really worked in my favor, that's pretty much it, you know genes have a lot to do with it,

228
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:49,120
I think I got pretty lucky, I played a lot of sports growing up that was kind of a mandatory

229
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:57,000
thing and not that you know we were forced into it but we kind of were, yes I played

230
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,200
a lot of sports growing up and so that always kept me active and you know through school,

231
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:09,320
through middle school, high school and into college, I played college volleyball for my

232
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:20,800
first year and a half and yeah I don't know, I just, that's kind of it, after college volleyball

233
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:29,000
I just got really paranoid about the freshman 15 even though I wasn't a freshman anymore

234
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,080
and I think that kind of stuck with me for a really long time, especially while I was

235
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:40,360
in college, I saw a lot of people I went to high school with posting on their social media

236
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:47,680
just like how much fun they were having and damn alcohol does some people dirty and I

237
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:56,280
was not, I like put myself in such a headspace like that was not going to be me, so I was

238
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,160
very conscientious about you know if I was drinking a lot like you know how am I going

239
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:13,240
to work it off and eat right so it wouldn't end up sticking with me for the long run and

240
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,400
yeah I think to this day I still have pretty decent eating habits although they're not

241
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:27,600
always that great like yeah last night I was talking to a couple people about my late night

242
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:37,160
McDonald's run so that was not the healthiest decision at 11 o'clock at night but you know

243
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:48,680
when you crave the nuggets you just got to go get them, I'm so stupid, I'm sorry, yeah

244
00:29:48,680 --> 00:30:12,920
it's a yeah so not always the best decisions but yeah I guess that kind of I hope that

245
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:25,120
answers your question, what's your idea of the dream or perfect date to go on, gosh that's

246
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:33,840
hard I haven't been on a date in a really long time, like a really long time I haven't

247
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:40,860
been on a date so I couldn't even imagine what a COVID date would look like now if I'm

248
00:30:40,860 --> 00:30:56,480
being honest, yeah definitely, I think wow a perfect date, I think those are kind of

249
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:05,040
hard because even if you did everything right and I said you know I want to go on a picnic

250
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:12,720
and then I want to go see a movie and then have dinner like even if someone did all three

251
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,280
of those things like it wouldn't mean anything was perfect and it wouldn't mean that anything

252
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:25,760
was you know going right because I mean I'm sure anyone can attest to following the rules

253
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:34,960
and having the end result not be what you wanted and I don't know I think one date that

254
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:43,000
I did go on was with my now ex-partner that we were together for five years.

255
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:48,340
One date that he took me on was he bought a random ticket to a concert that played the

256
00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:55,160
night we were going out so like we were going out on a Thursday and he bought a ticket to

257
00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:01,860
whatever band was playing at this local venue and we went and I thought it was really fun

258
00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:06,840
because it was spontaneous and it was this little like cover band that neither of us

259
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:14,080
had heard of and it was like a bunch of 50 plus year olds hanging out and I don't know

260
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:23,520
it was just really cool because it was spontaneous and yeah really exciting you just kind of

261
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:30,400
were winging it so I think something spontaneous and thoughtful I think is a great place to

262
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:44,640
start does that does that answer your question okay if you had to only eat one kind of food

263
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:58,640
for the rest of your life what would it be who that's hard I like a lot of different

264
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,200
food these are just like great questions and I'm just not the right person to answer them

265
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:10,560
because I don't have like a favorite of anything everything is great if I am to be the most

266
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:17,360
honest with myself this is gonna sound shitty but I'm gonna be super honest if I could eat

267
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:27,320
one thing for the rest of my life it would be any variety of salad like I can

268
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:40,880
like I can eat if you give me like an assortment of vegetables condiments like anything like

269
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:49,000
anything that can be put in a leafy green bowl will work for me for the rest of my

270
00:33:49,000 --> 00:34:05,560
life I am I am I'm a little German so I love everything like tart and I love vinegar and

271
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:12,600
love just drenching all of my salads and in some kind of acidic goodness so pickles

272
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:20,440
pepperonis any type of vinaigrette dressing actually haven't used sauerkraut in a salad

273
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:28,880
before what's the one I am thinking of like a pickled beet or cabbage super good or like

274
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:36,680
a pickled green bean actually used that recently so yummy I love all that in salad so I know

275
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:42,280
I could always change up my salad and I would eat it for the rest of my life that's my

276
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:57,760
basic ass answer yeah so what inspired you to want to share your amazing body I was approached

277
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:05,200
on reddit actually by someone who sent me this really thought out message about wanting

278
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:18,720
to try out like an auditory thing and I mean reaching that point in quarantine where you're

279
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:29,400
just kind of like itching for interaction I went into it and we kind of did this thing

280
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:37,960
where he would talk to me and I would have my camera on and he would just kind of like

281
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:47,000
watch me and I'd just kind of be wearing like a bathing suit painting or kind of like in

282
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:56,000
a bralette watching hockey like and yeah I don't know I just kind of he pointed it out

283
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,520
to me too he's like oh like you really like showing off and I was like wow like I didn't

284
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:16,000
even notice that about myself until that point and yeah that ended and I don't know I just

285
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:34,760
kind of thought why not I'm being honest yeah so that is that's uh that's that that was

286
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:42,280
my little adventurous bit and it led to all of this and meeting all of you so you know

287
00:36:42,280 --> 00:37:01,120
I said all worked out right yeah so that's that um and that's the last question um yeah

288
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:16,840
that's what I got you guys have any other any other things you want to know

in November and hit my quarter life crisis in January I'm old um yeah no 25 was a big

299
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:28,880
one um I never I I mean if you have asked me before 25 would have been like yeah no

300
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,480
age is a number no big deal I'm not worried about it like you shouldn't be worried about

301
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:40,400
it and then when I hit yeah when I hit 25 I was like wow like and and it's so funny

302
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:46,400
because um like your age now and like the grand scheme of how people view your age has

303
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:54,960
changed a whole lot because um especially with quarantine I've noticed just you know

304
00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:03,520
if this were a quarantine and I was in my teens or you know where younger people are

305
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:09,560
in this like I've noticed from the people around me like it's so cool to be at home

306
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:14,600
and like not work you can choose to not work you can take it easy like just focus on you

307
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:20,680
and getting through quarantine and all that and I think like for me in my in my 20s you

308
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:27,480
know I can say mid-20s now like I feel like I'm still in that mentality of like you need

309
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:33,240
to sit on this timeline still so like at 25 like you should have accomplished certain

310
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:41,000
things and I feel like that timeline now is like so skewed and it's not applicable to

311
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:49,360
anyone who is you know I'd say like 22 and younger um like that timeline doesn't even

312
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:59,320
exist anymore so for me hitting 25 and not being where I saw myself at 25 um you know

313
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:09,580
jumping yeah it's it's hard now um but yeah I don't know I I hit that quarter live quarter

314
00:41:09,580 --> 00:41:19,120
life crisis pretty rough and uh yeah so that's that's 25 in a nutshell for me right now but

315
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,880
I think with everyone getting um vaccinated and knowing that some things are going to

316
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:30,320
be resuming a new normal I think that's going to be I'm really excited to just get get back

317
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:44,120
out there um if money were no issue what would you spend your days doing oh man um you know

318
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:49,900
a lot of things I think if I didn't have to worry about money I'd put a lot more effort

319
00:41:49,900 --> 00:42:03,360
into being more creative and I think exploring my creativity um I I enjoy styling so I enjoy

320
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:12,240
working with uh apparel and putting outfits together for people and being a resource for

321
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:16,400
exploring how they want to look and how they want to feel through the things they wear

322
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:24,980
and um I really believe that if you wear something that makes you feel good you know you see

323
00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:33,920
yourself differently so I think I'd put a lot more effort into building on that um it's

324
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:41,540
just not always a fruitful business to jump into so um and you know isn't a quick business

325
00:42:41,540 --> 00:42:47,600
to jump into either so a lot of it is self-starting and self-promoting and it takes money and

326
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:53,680
so if I if I didn't have to worry about money that would definitely be how I'd spend a lot

327
00:42:53,680 --> 00:43:01,680
of my time yeah I think I know maybe one person that's made like personally that's made a

328
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:06,680
career out of styling and maybe it's very difficult yeah the I was actually going to

329
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:20,320
go along that line I'm into the printing industry oh that's really cool um yeah what's

330
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:27,120
that unless you're doing it through a company which I mean you're not making as much money

331
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:33,000
as you could if you were independent but like uh yeah I don't know I think that's how I'd

332
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:38,920
spend I think that's how I spend my time um and then traveling I mean if money wasn't

333
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:45,200
an issue I'd spend a lot of my days traveling and and moving around and just kind of making

334
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:56,600
the world my oyster um that'd be a great thing the Caribbean sure um I'm not a big beach

335
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:05,000
person but I would definitely spend a few days um enjoying the food definitely yeah

336
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:11,800
you know I was I was just talking to somebody about this too um I am definitely a poolside

337
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:24,760
lake river kind of person um I yeah I love the pool love the pool I grew up by the beach

338
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:34,120
and um man I loved it growing up but I hate sand I hate that it gets everywhere I hate

339
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:41,440
that it sits in your car for years and you can do everything you want but you'll still

340
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:48,360
find sand and things and um having a dog I think and wanting to take your dog to the

341
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:55,440
beach is a fucking chore and then yeah I don't know I just rather not work with sand so if

342
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:04,960
I could be laying out poolside or yeah if I could uh be laying out by the beach or by

343
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:14,320
the pool or by a lake that would be fantastic that would be great yeah that would be great

344
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:20,800
um I'm going pretty pretty pretty hard on my tan this this time around so I'm excited

345
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:32,400
yes um how long do you think you're going to keep this server going for uh indefinite

346
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:43,360
oh I don't know um I think I think having joined Reddit earlier this year and um my

347
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:53,800
experience with people online and like developing online relationships of any sort um kind of

348
00:45:53,800 --> 00:46:03,800
sits in this like two week window so when you meet someone new you're kind of um really

349
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:09,440
excited to talk to them and get to know them and it's really fun you chat every day or

350
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:15,280
you chat every other day you chat very consistently and then I think after this like healthy two

351
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:25,960
week window things just kind of become for a lack of a better word redundant um and yeah

352
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:33,720
absolutely unless there's something that you can really connect on or have in common um

353
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:39,800
or what you guys just live really exciting lives and always have something to talk about

354
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:46,280
so I don't know this this could very well be a two week server and then everyone just

355
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:54,080
kind of you know moves on or you know doesn't interact as often or you know whatever the

356
00:46:54,080 --> 00:47:05,600
case may be um so I don't really have a timeline for this um I think I'm just kind of keeping

357
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:16,400
it open um until you know otherwise I don't plan on I think the only real reason I would

358
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:22,040
shut it down would be if I you know hopped into a serious relationship of any sort but

359
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:27,540
at this time I don't really see myself doing that um just having I mean I think just having

360
00:47:27,540 --> 00:47:35,160
come out of one but it's been a year it's been like a calendar year now and um yeah

361
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:40,880
I just don't see myself jumping in anything serious so as long as this is uh as long as

362
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:47,800
I'm single I think this will be open um unless it just kind of like completely dies out and

363
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:52,600
then and then I'll wipe it and all that jazz but I don't know it's kind of rolling with

364
00:47:52,600 --> 00:48:07,240
the punches here does that answer your question um perfect yeah that's that's that but I do

365
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:15,040
have to say I'm really pleased with how it's going I think for for the amount of time it's

366
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:23,440
been open um and I don't know I think it's really cool that people can come together

367
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:30,000
and just kind of shoot the shit on a lot of different things so it really like gets me

368
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:36,520
a little giddy when I'm not in the channel and you guys will post stuff about food or

369
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:44,100
animals or what you're doing that day or any workouts you've accomplished um I think that's

370
00:48:44,100 --> 00:48:49,960
really exciting for me to see that people are actually connecting outside of um me having

371
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:57,960
to post something um granted I I'm not posting on a schedule which I'm not sure if that's

372
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:04,440
something you guys would be interested in um I haven't really gotten that far but if

373
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:10,600
it is something you're interested in then please let me know and I will I'll do my best

374
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:19,960
to follow it um but yeah no I'm really pleased with how it's going so far um I've kind of

375
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:27,560
toyed around with with like how how big I guess I want the server to be as far as like

376
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:33,680
members and stuff um I definitely wanted to keep it tight leash on everything because

377
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:41,120
I've been in servers where you know it starts off really small and intimate and everyone's

378
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:47,040
getting along really well and then it takes like you know one person to come in and just

379
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:57,480
kind of put in really negative um attitudes and and and vibes I guess if you want to throw

380
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:04,600
that term around and then it just kind of sours everything and I don't know that's

381
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:09,720
that's when it becomes like work and it doesn't become anything fun to be around and the last

382
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:16,840
thing I want for this is to be work so um you know I'd love any feedback as to like

383
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:26,040
what you'd want out of this um just so you know making this a fun space for everybody

384
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:35,480
as well but I'm not sure how how serious I'm going to get about trying to grow um trying

385
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:49,240
to grow this um because I I thought that was really funny I thought I mean I I thought

386
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:59,320
it was really really fun um I was really really like in tears with that initial group uh chat

387
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:09,440
which was honestly a huge mistake um I have not been on snapchat very frequently and when

388
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,920
I saw it put that together on accident I was like oh shit like this is probably really

389
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:22,760
uncomfortable for some people um and then it just kind of became yeah

390
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:51,800
oh my god yeah that really was so funny um and I mean I think

391
00:51:52,840 --> 00:52:02,600
yeah I think everyone's gonna know yeah we get to fill in the tutu part so I'm looking

392
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:10,600
forward to see what you do with your corner um and granted that's okay uh it doesn't have to be

393
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:18,360
anything um it can be whatever you want it to be to be honest um or it doesn't have to be anything

394
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:28,760
at all if that's that's not it um but yeah no I'm uh I was really really surprised at

395
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,920
how many people latched on to your name uh in a really fun way

396
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:59,560
um let's see if there's any no I'm not the nugs um yeah no I I'm excited to see what uh what comes

397
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:05,560
uh what comes out of this and uh like I mentioned before I'm open to any feedback to see what you

398
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:13,400
guys are looking for in this if anything um gosh all your questions are quite reserved

399
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:21,720
I'm assuming it's because everyone's being very very respectful and on their best behavior um

400
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:35,640
um but um I appreciate all the all the niceties if you guys want to send me anything you can

401
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:43,080
always ask me um in private if you want or um still send it through here after vc and I'll

402
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:52,680
answer it um I'm a pretty open book I don't really have much to to hide um so

403
00:53:54,920 --> 00:54:01,400
yeah that's just kind of my my thoughts on that um yeah if there's nothing else then

404
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:08,280
I'm gonna quit the recording of the Q&A and we can sit in here and shoot the shit or

405
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:14,280
we can just close it out for the day so

406
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:28,120
so
