The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Newly acquainted bros with nothing better to do after work so we decide to try this podcast stuff. We'll be having daily discussions about various topics from current events to whatever is on our minds. Let's get real and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.
The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Life After Heartbreak A.K.A. Achey Breakey Farts
Have you ever been ghosted by someone you deeply loved? That soul-crushing moment when they tell you to "forget about me" but somehow leave you with just enough hope to keep you looking for their car every time you cross the street?
This raw, unfiltered conversation dives into the painful reality of modern relationships—where connections that begin in workplaces, through friends, or at social gatherings can evolve into profound love stories... or devastating heartbreaks. One host vulnerably shares his journey through a relationship that felt like true love, only to have it end abruptly with no real closure. He describes the psychological torture of being ghosted, then contacted again as if nothing happened, and the difficulty of moving forward when you've experienced what felt like your "endgame" relationship.
We explore why telling someone "maybe later" is one of the cruelest forms of rejection, how family complications create added layers of relationship challenges, and why honest communication matters more than comfortable lies. The conversation thoughtfully examines what it means to find yourself checking crowds for a glimpse of someone who asked you to forget them—and the courage it takes to finally let go.
Beyond relationships, we touch on urban safety in Chicago, morning gratitude practices, and finding strength during difficult times. This episode speaks to anyone who's experienced the unique pain of loving deeply and losing suddenly, offering both solidarity and perspective on the journey toward healing.

The thing is, I feel like most people right in life, like before dating apps and all that bullshit, most of the time like yeah, I'm not saying random people don't date, most people are random people anyways. Right, like when you first meet them, but it feels like most of the time most relationships start because you met them at work. You met them through a friend, you met them at a party, like a party going on, and you know how it is. So welcome to the show, thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 2:We might even meet them over here on the show, bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what I mean here at the Shakedown.
Speaker 2:Thank you for tuning in.
Speaker 1:We appreciate you guys being here. So we're just talking about relationships at work. Yup, work.
Speaker 2:you know, I never, I think I had one relationship at work and, um, it only lasted a few weeks, but it is, it's, I don't know, it's, it's nerve-wracking and it's cool at the same time, exactly. Um, I mean, I had lots of fun at work with my girlfriend. That's all I could do with the women ever at work. You know some people that I was seeing at the time some people be snagging at work, oh yeah, exactly right bro that's crazy.
Speaker 2:I'm like dude, you can't wait till you get home, just snagging bro just straight up, chopping it up dog, but it's like bro, like yo. This is. This is a public bathroom. Damn it, we're at work. Dad, you're walking and freaking walking fridge bro that's some fucking respect damn it behind the pad, the furthest pall out in the most furthest back of the building corner. You know that sort of shit.
Speaker 3:That pallet that never gets moved in the back you know that one right there. You know that's got a little bit of space where nobody can see shit. Yeah, no, yeah.
Speaker 1:Then they wonder why they got a rash on the back of there. You know, because they're sitting on pallets they shouldn't be sitting on. Or over there on the potatoes that are trying to get sold the next day yeah man, don't, nobody want that with that sweaty ass potato.
Speaker 2:This is the name of the game, son.
Speaker 1:It's crazy though man the name of the game son. Crazy. Sometimes you got to get that promotion, no matter what.
Speaker 2:Don't even have to be at work. It could be taking a hike up in the mountains or whatever that was. The funnest part is hiking with the woman, with the chick, and looking for little secluded places that are off the trail. That's the funnest. I'll take a few. What do they call those? Those ball of thorns? Oh, the Sticky. I'll take one of those in the crack of the ass. Uh, you know, just for a little sake, a little bit.
Speaker 2:You know something, something yeah, hey, you know, uh, I have, I'm not gonna lie to you I've gotten ass fulls of grass in my crack, bro, just you know that, or a cramp, oh, I mean mid -session.
Speaker 1:Those are the worst. I mean you're you know what I mean like hold on, hold on, I got a cr, I got a cramp. What you mean, you got a cramp. Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, no, dude, it's. I wouldn't, I don't know, I wouldn't suggest it. But you know, you never know, dude, maybe there are some beautiful things that come out of a relationship, from meeting someone at work, maybe there is people who last, and there's, there's people who've been together since high school.
Speaker 2:No, no, there is. I mean, I still believe that there's that old school type of like, like love, like you know you could actually. No, there is. I was fortunate enough to meet, uh and and experience true love this last time around, but, um, we stopped talking about like six, like six and a half months ago or so, but you know, she was strong for that one and a half years or whatever, and it had to end up where she ended it abruptly, and it is what it is, unfortunately. I am heartbroken.
Speaker 2:It is what it is, but you know. Here at the.
Speaker 1:Shakedown. We fix heartbreaks, we try to at least. Yeah, Well, you know what we tell them. Yeah, take a shot and move on. Take a shot and move on huh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not easy, but Take a shot of vodka, get a shot of penicillin and move the fuck on bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, dude, it ain't easy being cheesy out here, you know, but we definitely like to keep it moving, bro, because you know you feel like. You feel like, oh, dude.
Speaker 2:I think we've all been there at one point or another, but it seems like. It seems like the go-to for women is oh, I don't want to see you now, but maybe later on. I was like no, if you don't want to see me now, I can't. I wouldn't for the life of me understand why you'd want to.
Speaker 1:We already saw each other. Yeah, no, dude.
Speaker 2:Either we keep seeing each other or we don't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, dude, sometimes they, I think they feel like they want one thing at one moment and then the next moment they just, you know, I met the chick you know Lady brains, bro Lady brains. Yeah, yeah, I met the chick. She was. We went out, we had a nice dinner, you know, and then the next day she was just yeah, I think we're moving too fast this and that and. I get it, I get it, I respect it. It is what it is.
Speaker 2:And you can't do whatever. You try to do one thing or try to do the other or try to talk some sense into them, because you can't slap some sense into them. No, no, we definitely don't promote putting your hands on women here.
Speaker 1:But definitely I would say hit up the homie dude, just get like okay, it's cool to like. Just stand like like, um, be sad, be down about it for the first week or two, then maybe I mean for us, for people who love hard, it's gonna take more than a week or two.
Speaker 2:You don't have control over that that's the thing you don't but they say that normally and and I kind of seen it for myself with my last serious, serious relationship was that, uh, they say that, uh, the law, the you take the amount of time you were together and uh, you divide, you divide that time and that's, they say, that's normally about as long as you're gonna grieve so it's not you lost somebody, though like look at it, look at it this way, man, Like we were together for about a year and a half.
Speaker 2:It really got really like hard that last year, you know, and like she said don't call me, Forget about me, and because I love her, that's what I did, that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm trying to do. You should have played that song for her.
Speaker 2:Listen to your heart, oh no, I was sending her all sorts of songs, I was serenading her almost every day, bro.
Speaker 1:You know what's crazy.
Speaker 2:This time around. I just didn't feel like it was you know. Now you got to let it out dude, when your lady says my kids don't like you and my dad says to stop seeing you, then it's like okay, well, you know. I understand about the kids, but, like the whole, my dad is like dude. You're 35 years old, bro.
Speaker 1:Right, like I get it right, like I mean don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2:You're 35 years old, but I get it. I understand too. I understand it. But at the same time it's like I don't really want to be with somebody that's going to be based in you know. Obviously she didn't care about me enough to to try to work something out.
Speaker 1:You understand what I'm saying right she's like look, I could try my best. Like the kids is one thing you're right like, but the dad thing is like I get it too right because like I would like, let's say, I met somebody and my mom's like she was like I kind of don't really, I would take her word into consideration, no doubt, but for that to kind of make that final decision is like you know, I got to think about myself at the end of the day too. But if she's definitely like out there, like being, you know, out there, well, I don't know.
Speaker 2:You know, but I don't like, that's what I'm saying. I'm pretty sure I believe I trust her, I know her, I feel like I do know her well enough to know that she's true and everything, but at the same time it's like don't do that to you, don't do that to a person. You know what I'm saying, or not just that, but then just leave it up to to oh, maybe later on down the road, that's just. You know what I say, that's narcissistic. Right there, it's like dude, no, you don't do that.
Speaker 2:No, you know what I say, bro, it's like that saying I forgot the name of the song, but it's like if you're going to leave, then leave. I mean don't leave making me think that there might be a chance later on. Fuck that. If you're going to leave, go on and leave, Don't fucking you know.
Speaker 1:No, what it is is is they leave you. They leave you with like a glimmer of hope. And you know what hoping hope is. Hope is pain. Yep, you know, because you're hoping they might call that, you're hoping this and that, and then there's something tricks us into thinking like I gotta, I gotta a thing right where, like ah, dude, you know what, I'm gonna get rid of this that she gave me from like two years ago or like a year and a half that I've been holding on to that. I just I don't think I'm going to see her ever again. I need to get rid of it the moment you get rid of it. A day later or two, you get a car, you get it, and then you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's weird and the worst part is that, like when this is their MO, do you understand what I'm? This is the first time she straight up told me forget about me, don't call me anymore, we can't talk. Don't call me no more, don't text me no more. But like she did it, she had done that like probably like a year before that. So she had done this.
Speaker 2:When stuff had just started off being fresh and it was obvious that it was something real and she already had done this. Yeah, she, but that time she literally ghosted me. For how long? Like just.
Speaker 2:You know, I can't even remember. I'm trying to just forget about it, but it had to have been like. It had to have been like a month and she pulled up on you or what. It's a funny story, we don't have no, no, no, that's fine. It's a funny story. We don't have. I mean, if you want to, no, no, no, that's fine, it's like she. She goes me, doesn't answer my phone calls, nothing. I stopped talking to her Like I stopped then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1:No, no explanation no explanation no, nothing.
Speaker 2:Then all of a sudden, video calls me, like nothing ever happened, and then I was walking out the door. Hello, I say. And the first thing she didn't say hey, how you doing, where are you?
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying. Dude, when am I? Where the hell you been?
Speaker 2:No, I wasn't even like that.
Speaker 1:No, I know, but in my mind I probably would have been like where the hell you been?
Speaker 2:I just told her, like you have no right to ask me that, like what the hell does it matter? Where the hell am I? You?
Speaker 1:know she said I want to see you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, obviously. I mean, then we had that intense year that we did After that it was a. She called me like a snotty-nosed little girl crying, and that was another part too that just that to me was. I saw that I heard. I mean I didn't see it, but I heard it and it was just like yeah, no, yeah, I can't. It was a turn off, man.
Speaker 2:I'm like I hear you, bro, I have to say it's probably the first time in the whole time that I've known her that it was just like a and it was so strong that, like when that last phone call like it was just like a and it was so strong that like when that last phone call like it was that was one, that had to been one of the biggest reasons why I said, all right, cool, cause I just you're like I can't do this right now it's like you're here, that's too much.
Speaker 1:You know that feels like a lot of like, not even like mental stress. That's too much. You know that feels like a lot of like, not even like mental stress, like a mental workout. Dude, that feels like a mental workout like, yeah, I get it, but when you love somebody, though you're willing to do damn near yeah, yeah, and that's I mean, as I told you, I was willing to do anything and everything.
Speaker 2:I was working. I mean I was homeless when I first met her.
Speaker 1:But that probably just gave you a extra drive.
Speaker 2:I was halfway near homeless and kind of living somewhere. When we started getting together, that's where we would hang out. It was in a place that had no heat. It was being in the middle of a remodel. It barely even had a room. But she loved you for who you were, and then she would come hang out.
Speaker 1:And that's love dude. So I feel you, dude, I feel you for him, I hope well, no, no, nobody's. No, you know, most, most people aren't gonna like, I don't know, people are different, right, like if I met a girl she was super dope and down to earth and she told me that her situation was rough, I wouldn't judge.
Speaker 2:I'd be like, look like no, I mean, I wouldn't judge either, but it's just, it's just a whole the way about it, you know. And then it's like when you've you put up with a lot, not to say that I put up with a lot because to me it wasn't anything. I wanted to be with her, right, you know, anything else didn't seem like a sacrifice, didn't seem like a struggle, didn't seem like anything. A word like a struggle didn't seem like anything. I was willing to do anything and everything just to be with her right do you understand what I'm saying, right, and you didn't even ask for much.
Speaker 2:Really right and and. And. For the first time in my life, I caught myself being completely opposite of what I had been before. I was not a jealous person, I was so sure of her. She made me, she made me feel assured and hopefully I made her feel the same way. And you know, I've come a long way since we talked Right, since, you know, since we first met Right, right, coming from where you came from, and so I was like I don't understand. And then there was talk, mentions that, like you know, there's no rush because she's a two-year widow.
Speaker 2:Right she's two years into her grieving. I get that, and the kids too, and I understand all that. I have respect for this man. I've never met the man, but everything she would not shut up about him and that's one of the things that made me fall in love with her me falling in love with her. I could see that she loved her husband so, that's tough dude.
Speaker 1:It's not like they divorced or she cheated or anything. This man rest in peace.
Speaker 2:Yeah, rest in peace.
Speaker 1:I don't know, maybe that really, maybe she feels like she's really betraying him.
Speaker 2:I totally understand that that was the main reason the first time around. But supposedly, when they say that, hey, it's weird to me that now, when I'm having these romantic feelings when I used to have romantic feelings my husband would be the one I would have him with, and now it's you, and I believe that that, but it's it hurts, I guess I'm just hurt. I guess I'm just a hurt pussy at the end of the day. I mean, really I shouldn't be up here saying all this, but no, yeah, no, I mean hey, this is the shake, but this is.
Speaker 2:This is men's health right. This is one of the things that we all, all us as men, the biggest thing that takes us off. Our course. You know what I'm saying. It's like you meet somebody, you that made you feel things and made you feel a certain way, so sure of yourself and made you do things that, like you, had forgotten a long time ago that you, you could do you know, almost almost, because, like you know um me, I've been single for a while.
Speaker 2:so when you meet someone where that makes you feel a way that you thought you would never feel again, yeah, exactly that's a special feeling and so and this was completely different than it's like I said it's like I've fallen in love for the first time All over again.
Speaker 2:No, it's not all over again. It's not even all over again. It's like I thought I was in love before with my wife and all that other stuff. And I do love my wife, I have love for my wife and respect for my wife, but this is, and still remains to be, something completely different that I experienced.
Speaker 1:I can't say that I feel the way that me and her experienced, because I know that it was mutual and I know that we're that me and her experienced.
Speaker 2:Because I know that it was. I know it was mutual and I know that we're both hurting and that sucks. But Life's tough and that sucks because I would be. I know myself enough to know that I would still be sitting here. I'm still sitting here. Come on, now you can say it. Don't hold back bro. No, no, I'm not, I'm still sitting here wishfully hoping you see me crossing the fucking street.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I mean, I just feel.
Speaker 2:And I catch myself walking down the fucking street looking for her car dude, Every single fucking time dude. And it's like, not even willingly, it's just a fucking thing that I do. It's not like I'm stalking her because I'm, you know, honestly, like I know where she lives, but I don't care. That's that's not how I want this to be.
Speaker 2:Exactly I don't want to taint that like this. I don't. You know the old me would have been. You know enough in the field that you know if it happens that happens naturally it happened I think I feel like our time has come right and gone and come and gone and it would suck for her to come what if she does?
Speaker 2:because honestly, I feel like, like even if if I was, if we did kind of fall back into something, I don't think that it would be the same thing that it was. I think she fucked that up oh, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 1:It's never gonna be the same, because I told her the first time around.
Speaker 2:I said you know, if you do this again because she even said it like I might do this again, you know, because you know my kids and all this other you know. I said I get that. But like because I told her, you know, it just sounds to me like you're taking the courage away. If you don't want to see me, just tell me. You don't want to see me, right? Don't tell me it's because of this. Don't give me any other fucking excuse in the world.
Speaker 1:This is that. It's not you, it's me.
Speaker 2:You're exactly fucking right, that's what this?
Speaker 1:You know, yeah, and we don't want to hear that. Just give me the truth straight up. You're right, exactly.
Speaker 2:Right, don't sit there crying like a Tell me to forget about you, that I'll never talk to you again, that this was a mistake, that I do care about you, I do love you and everything we went through is real. But, like my dad said, and the kids like you, it wasn't so much that the kids don't like me. The kids didn't like me the idea of us talking, because we were talking for a long time and they would be around. She would around when we would talk. We would have to watch what we said, but it was. It's just. I think that's what scared her the most is that the, the two, the two kids that were really against it. Okay, so it was like the oldest was about it, the two youngest, the the middle one and the young one, were against it. Okay, and this was like before I even got to know the kids. She had told them that we were, you know, she had told and mentioned to her parents and mentioned to the kids that we were friends.
Speaker 2:But she never told the kids that, but she did tell her dad and her mom and her, you know, because she had to at some point. You know there's no way. You're a single mom. You're there every day, you know you hardly ever leave for anything, especially on the weekends, and you're coming over here to hang out. Yeah, for like four, you know four or five hours. Yeah, you know, on a Sunday or whenever, you know what I mean. Or always on the phone, you know what I mean. Or or always on the phone, you know what I'm saying. Like she gets home from work and we're, we're on the phone. We've been talking for like two and a half hours or an hour and a half, and then it's like then she, she gets home and we're still talking.
Speaker 1:yeah, you know, for another two hours it sounds to me like her pops was like hey, mija, you got, you got kids, you can't be on the no, that's exactly how he was.
Speaker 2:But what the fuck, dude? What's it to him?
Speaker 1:What's it to him? That's the thing, bro, when it comes to like. Honestly for me.
Speaker 2:I believe that he feels like he's losing out on his free ride, because I really don't think he hopes. He doesn't work. I don't think he helps around here. He doesn't work. I don't know the whole deal, you know what? Never mind, I'm not even going to go down there. That's me being malicious. No, no, no, that's me being malicious and trying to justify things to myself. No, but look.
Speaker 1:The way I see it, it's good that you haven't gone over there. You're keeping it natural.
Speaker 2:No, I am keeping it natural if it comes back. If it comes back now, look, it hurts, but here's the thing. I didn't reach out once I won't lie, but that's it. That was, you know, and that's for me that's kind of like was has been the catalyst of like all right, dude, I have to make it a point. That's why I had to ask her. It's like, dude, this isn't fair, because you, you fucked with my head so much in the in in the uh, the sense of in the in the, ghosting me the first time, and not just that, but then telling me the whole time after that oh, I used to drive by your house when we weren't talking, and I would drive by hoping I would see you. So why do you think I crossed the road the way I do, like a fucking chicken looking Like a chicken?
Speaker 1:looking. You know what I'm saying yeah, no I just want to say real quick uh to our listeners. If you know, we do have a little comment section. If you guys want to leave a comment of a time you've been ghosted by you know you've been ghosted or whatever the case may be now, like you were saying, though, but it's it's that whole thing.
Speaker 2:And you see me. You see me crossing the fucking street and it's like I had to stop that, because I don't doubt that, especially now that it's even like for a person. You couldn't drive by and just see me. I lived all the way in the back on the second floor, right, you know you couldn't even see through the window driving by. But here, look at me. I'm a fucking white-ass boy. I live above a bar.
Speaker 1:You know, fucking white ass, but I live above a bar.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean right, you know, and this is just my opinion for everybody, right? So it's like this. This is the thing I want to just tell women is like, for women that do that sort of thing, when you do that to a guy and you go back and and and then you don't understand when it's really, when you're really trying to break it up and they're over there being stalkers. This is the fuck. Why guys are that way is because you fuck with their fucking heads and we're not telling you to go out there and be a stalker.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, I'm not saying that, but I'm saying it's like it's those little things that you think are cute, that you think, oh, he's gonna really appreciate this, and now he's really gonna say, no, I'd rather you just tell me hey, I really like you, don't, don't go through, don't put me through this drama and make it seem like a fairy tale in the end, because that's another thing too. There's like an age gap difference, right, and I'm like I'm already going to start entering my prime years here, so I don't have time for that shit. I don't have time for none of that shit. And I told her this and the thing't have time for that shit.
Speaker 1:You don't have time for none of that shit. And I told you this. And the thing is, women love.
Speaker 2:They love that shit, they love a fairy tale they do that shit and go home and just rub one off. You can't wait home to go home and rub one off. Oh yeah, I left him fucking hurting so bad just waiting with so much hope, like, oh no, no, stop that women. Just please stop that. That's not fair. That's not fair to go.
Speaker 1:Okay, you know what I think it is. I think this is just my quick opinion. Um, you know, you grow up, you meet a girl and, um, she probably doesn't appreciate you as much as you appreciate her. She breaks your heart and then the next girl you meet, she actually appreciates you the way you wanted to be appreciated.
Speaker 2:And you just think, though, it's like I went through so many. I put myself in situations, willingly okay, that I really shouldn't have put myself into. But it's that whole thing of like, hey, dude, if I don't do this, it's like it's now or never. It's it's like it's manuela palmer for the rest of my life, or, you know, I'll go through a little bit of heartache just to get you know. Do you understand? The struggle for a guy well, you don't always.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. Every time you, you, you shoot your shot. You're not always gonna score, but that doesn't mean you don't keep going right, and I'm not saying just just. I'm not saying you just keep shooting until you find somebody to kind of lay in bed with, unless that's what they're out there looking for, because sometimes women are just out there looking for a good time too.
Speaker 2:You just, it's just Hopefully, you know and I understand some of the women in my past definitely made it made it out to be that way at the end. It's like, dude, if you just wanted to have the fun, why were? What's the whole need of going through the drama?
Speaker 1:Because I feel like sometimes they don't want to seem like those type of women, and I get it, but it's just like, yeah, it would save us a lot of time.
Speaker 2:But then they still put themselves through situations that make them look even worse. Do you understand what I'm saying? Because that make them look even worse. You know, yeah, do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, well, you know, because I can keep my mouth shut, right, you know, as long as If you can be If a woman's like hey, if I can. If a woman tells me, hey, I dig you, let's do this, but you ain't the only one, right, I'll totally If, more times than any. I guess you know I prefer that because I'm not gonna lie. I've been married for 22 years, happily separated for 14 right.
Speaker 1:But don't don't say it's just you and then yeah, right, right. And then I think I'm thinking it's just me and you and I find out it's this whole other. Yeah, right, right.
Speaker 2:I have more respect for women that that do that anyways yeah, I mean I used to be in a poly network. I can't say exactly that I was poly, because none of those women that I was in that network with were mine. They were just my friends. Right they had their own main dudes, right, and yeah, I mean, I guess I was like the doobie in that situation among those women. I don't know what else to say. You know what I'm saying, just passing it around.
Speaker 2:I was just getting passed to the left by these chicks and you know honestly, I didn't mind at the time. I was coming off of a really yeah, rocky situation, I don't know. Rocky a real maddening blindingly and maddeningly in love with somebody that didn't feel the same way about me sort of situation and that sucks when someone doesn't reciprocate the, the feelings no, that was being young dumb, stupid dude, that that that was my fault there.
Speaker 2:You know I'll. I'll take the, I'll take the hit because I knew what I did, but I've always known what I've gotten myself into.
Speaker 1:But it's like feelings are feelings, dude and you know, especially when you're young, your feelings kind of like seem to take over more like obviously, when you get older you get a little bit wiser, you get a little bit better at controlling feelings, or, like you know, you don't let certain things get to you as quick, or like you don't fall in love as quickly, right? You know you kind of like you're more cautious you're like let's see how this goes.
Speaker 1:First, because I I sometimes the thing that sucks, dude. I I feel like sometimes you'll like sometimes people, right, because everybody's different, right. But like for me, like sometimes I'll say that right, I'll meet a chick and I'm like let me just, well, let's give it some time. And then a week later I'm smothered. You know what I mean, like I'm smitten. Yeah, and like I kind of want to like you. All I could say is that I honestly saw it.
Speaker 2:For me, this was my endgame. That's why I don't. It's been easy for me to be alone and honestly, I would much rather just be alone than go through that again. Bro. Honestly, you know, it's not to say that I'm, that I'm that you're, that you're hanging up the that I'm hanging up the the thing with her and I, yeah, I mean, in a sense I have to move on right, because that's not healthy for me no, of course, I feel I have no choice I feel like uh and I know that eventually, you know over time that that feeling will fade right, but at the moment I just feel like I I should just be something's telling me, just be patient.
Speaker 2:I mean, yeah, I fucked it up because I told her. You know, it's not fair that you've done this to me and now you're leaving me with this paranoia feeling that you're lingering around somewhere outside, and so that's driving me insane.
Speaker 1:I'm like fucking playing where the fuck's.
Speaker 2:Waldo here every time I step out my door. You know, you know what I'm saying. No, and I would say um to anybody. And I know that I saw her once. Dude, I you know, I know I sound like, I know I sound insane dude, and I hate that. That's the reason why I had to tell her hey, dude, just remember that day I said hey, dude, I know I just saw her.
Speaker 2:Dude, I know I just saw her, and same car and everything that night dude, because it kept bugging me and I didn't say anything after I told you that I tried to let go, but little by little it was still chipping away at me and I finally just I texted her. I said you know what, whether it was you or not, you know I I realized I'm sounding crazy, but that's your fault. I said you know, you know how I feel about you, but I can't do this. It's not fair that you're doing this to me. It's not fair that you put me through this and I have to move on. I have to.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's it's already been more than six months now and I think it had been like a five, five months well you know, like close to five months at that point yeah, like, like, like, fucking with him, like, like or fucking with you, like, let me just drive by just right right exactly, I mean, even if yeah and she and she kind of
Speaker 2:knows what time you get off and uh oh yeah, well, I mean, we both know each other, unless you got a different job. But she knows that, like I'm, I'm, I'm bolted to it. My, my life plan right now is there's no changing it, and at least, if it is, it's it's for green your pastures, I can't just like, at least if it is it's for greener pastures, I can't just like. There's no going back bro. There's no moving back, dog. I'm here bro.
Speaker 2:I went homeless for a damn near year, like 6, 7, 8 months, or like 6, 3 more, like 5, 6 months. I'd rather I'd rather did that Than have to have gone back, because I could have gone back To Colorado With my leg between my ass and my head between my ass, tails between the legs.
Speaker 1:Whatever dude, all that shit Right right, all the shenanigans Rolled up in a ball, whatever bro. Whatever you want to call it. No, I hear you, I think, in my opinion, because there's probably, you're probably like there's a part. I mean, everybody's been through that, right yeah, definitely. Just move on, man.
Speaker 2:No, no, I'm moving on In general, just no. That's the thing, dude. I'm not talking about like being alone because I can't move on, I'm talking about just honestly, I feel like I need to be, I need to just reset, bro, I need to just reset. Yeah, I was in a situation I had been celibate, dude, celibate and by myself dude For like two and a half, almost three years, before I met her dude and I tried to avoid her like the plague dude, like the plague rolled into AIDS with some coronavirus sprinkled into it, bro. I I tried to avoid her like the plague dude, like the plague rolled into aids with some coronavirus sprinkled into it, bro. I was trying to avoid her like all that dog, and it's for some, somehow, somehow it's, you know, you know and yeah, dude, you can't avoid that. I could tell you a whole bunch of little cute stories between us, but fuck all that dude, yeah, it's just driving me torture.
Speaker 2:I know the only reason we're talking about this is because, obviously, it's not just because I have to get it off my chest, because I honestly feel like this is a topic that we should discuss. We should discuss, you know, because every dude needs some sort of every dude's feeling this at one point or another. Yeah, definitely. Hopefully we're reaching out to some people, hopefully I'm helping out some people, giving them some ideas. You know that, no matter how special the thing is, you have to let go. You have to let go.
Speaker 1:If it's driving you crazy. Yeah for your sake. If it's a good thing, don't let go.
Speaker 2:Well, no, honestly. That's why, See, that's catch 22 because you can't let go, because things were so good. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, because it was a good thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it doesn't ever.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying hopefully, I'm not portraying her to be some sort of a monster, no, no, she totally wasn't. It was the opposite. Like it was, it was true, dude, it was 100%.
Speaker 2:Here's the driven snow bro. That's what I'm saying, like I know there was the deepest connection I've ever felt with anybody before. Right, you know, but it's still just that whole sense of like dude, we're adults, yeah, you're really what, what. And if you're going to say, oh, my dad doesn't let me see you, it's like, seriously, you just hit me up with that bullshit.
Speaker 1:Really Like back in high school. What the fuck, dude? She hit you with the word back in high school, yeah man, and I get it.
Speaker 2:I get it because you know you depend on your parents when you have kids and she's a single parent, oh, definitely, but still, have kids and she's a single parent? Oh, definitely, but still. I mean, we were seeing each other before and we were, you know. We literally wouldn't see each when we I stopped working, we stopped working together, like once a week, if that you know, sometimes a couple times I went where we didn't see each other for like a month.
Speaker 2:but we every day on the phone, every day Early in the morning because she has a 45-minute drive and me. I just Listen, just listening.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got. Yeah, oh, traffic baby.
Speaker 2:It's not that I was like going out of my way to wake up to talk to you because I you wanted it. I'm a middle-aged man, dude. I'm waking up at like 2, two, three o'clock to to do my, my nightly ritual and, you know, sometimes it's in. It just so happens that I'm waking up around the time that she's getting ready, she's getting getting on the road, dad and um, you get used to waking up and hearing that person's voice.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I mean before that my kids conditioned me to to uh automatically wake up like around, right, right, like five or six, to be honest with you? No, but you do, I hate sleeping in and I'm a morning person, like I don't. I'm a morning person, I don't know. It's weird to see people wake up. They're like so bitchy and so mad Because, honestly, I wake up and this is no joke, I wake up praying to the Lord.
Speaker 1:When I wake up to go take this piss, I'm like thank you, lord for waking me up, for you know, giving me still some control over my body to get up and go to the bathroom and to have been able to hold it for this long, and then I'll go into.
Speaker 2:Nah, I'm joking, but I do do a prayer. No, no, definitely not joking, because if you know I feel like I, if I forget or anything happens throughout the day that that keeps my keeps me from doing that, then at least I did it first thing in the morning right and I'm so thankful to wake up. Anyways, that right, that's the. That's the best way to greet the world is like wake up and just thank the lord. Hey, thanks bro. You know, appreciate enough, right? Yeah, no, for real Cause um.
Speaker 1:Now do me another favor. Look after my kids, bro. Right, right, right.
Speaker 2:And everybody's kids.
Speaker 1:And everybody out there.
Speaker 2:You know Cause you know, I feel like um Right, right. I know what you mean.
Speaker 1:No, no, but definitely we. You know, I feel like everybody Always asks for their family first. I do, you know. But no, especially in a world where it's kind of like hustle and bustle, you know, you kind of just get up and go.
Speaker 2:I mean look at what happened yesterday, man, that poor dude you know.
Speaker 1:You know it's.
Speaker 2:You know Trump or not, which really you know that's. It's silly to be killing people over words and over ideals and beliefs.
Speaker 1:Well you know the thing is, it's been going on.
Speaker 2:And honestly, I don't understand, because this is the first time I've ever heard of the dude, whether he was, whatever he was. That's god bless america. You have the choice to not have to hear, to listen to him, to press play or log into the channel or go onto youtube and look for his videos. You understand what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:well, look at, look at michael max and everybody else. They, everybody else, had the choice not to listen to him, but people just no and I understand that too. You know, I'm not, I'm not believing, I'm just saying no, no, no, I mean all of it is just ridiculous, dude it's like definitely all of it is ridiculous you know it's just, but it is what. That's what I'm saying. Definitely, all of it is ridiculous, you know, it's just.
Speaker 2:But it is what it is.
Speaker 1:There's some people out there that are dead heated.
Speaker 2:We're human beings. It is what it is, you know. It's a part of our DNA.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying, dude. Like it's, you know, it's a beautiful thing, like I know sometimes a loop like you just wake up, go to work, go home, you know. But like, if you find, if you find the little things, like you you know, First of all, you should thank God that you feel like you feel stuck in the loop. Right that at least you're not that loop could be completely different.
Speaker 2:Like right there, like you know, you could be stuck in a loop. The shitter right there in front of your face every day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, that's why you know behind bars, you know, giving three square meals, and even some people who are behind bars try to uh I I. You know they find ways to be grateful, like it's just well. There's no other better place to find yeah yeah, I know, you know what I mean, but I'm just saying like I mean he's everywhere.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it's it's unfortunate that most people choose not to really talk to them or find them until they're there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because a lot of people I feel like a lot of people don't really believe in, and that's cool. We're not here to persuade anybody. We're not here to challenge anybody or anything. No, we're just here to definitely say Freedom for everybody. I'm just telling you how I feel about it? Exactly no, that's how we feel about it, feel about it exactly. No, that's how we feel about it. And um, everything's cool, man, it's just. It's just. Some people feel like, some people like look at me.
Speaker 2:What I'm saying is pray to god, do whatever it is you do to allah, to buddha, to whoever it is that's in your life. That's helping you improve yourself, improve the life of others and helping you try to be a better person. Right? Basically, that's all that is. You know? That's. I'm giving you an example of my daily routines.
Speaker 1:No, no, I hear you.
Speaker 2:And what I'm saying is I hope I'm reaching out to the audience when I'm saying that Right, right, right. I'm not here to tell you. Pray to the Lord. That's what I do, you know.
Speaker 1:pray to you know, I try to keep good energy around and I really do believe that the energy you put out is, in a way, the energy. So if you're out there yeah, if you're, you know, praying to some evil energy, don't expect good things to happen. You know, what I mean.
Speaker 2:But no, I'm not saying you, I've known some Satanists that are really good people, man, that you know. It's not because saying they start about like actively hurting people and sinning and they just don't believe. They're just not tied down to the religious beliefs of the Lord. That's, that's just right it's not that oh we're gonna go out there and rape and rape and kill everybody those are my cults. You know that other stuff. You know it's, it's not, it's that's no, it's.
Speaker 1:Being Satanist is about and we're just generally, generally speaking here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm not saying about it we're saying whatever floats your boat, man, you know, get up, do your prayer, do your meditation just try to appreciate it. Try to appreciate it if it's so, if you're praying to somebody, that's how? That making you want to improve yourself in the life of others. And more power to you, you know, helping you try and be a better person, then.
Speaker 1:And more power to you, you know helping you try and be a better person. Then do that, man. Yeah, yeah, no, because, yeah, dude, I don't know um. You know there's a lot of people out there that are just out to hurt sometimes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know you can't just go out and I mean, look at that one lady who's just full of hate and vile bro and then there's a thing, bro.
Speaker 1:Look at that one lady who just got stabbed on the train I don't even be laughing, but no, no, no, but you know what I mean. No, but I mean because I think, I don't know the dude had a mental problem or a mental problem.
Speaker 2:He said that there was material in them that made him do it.
Speaker 1:It's crazy, bro. I feel like what it is, too, is like um. So I heard supposedly I think it was a priest that was saying like oh, when you start to take like hard drugs and stuff, you open up like for for demons to kind of just enter you oh yeah you know, and then um, because some people man like that's that's why it's. You know I'm not judging or nothing, but you got to be careful out there.
Speaker 2:You have to be careful.
Speaker 1:And then now you see that and what people are going to think is a lot of people aren't going to want people sitting behind them or standing behind them. I mean me personally. I already don't like people standing behind me.
Speaker 2:I mean if we're at the grocery store cool.
Speaker 1:But if we're on a train platform, dude. There was not too long ago, a couple months ago, where people were getting pushed onto train platforms.
Speaker 2:Yeah, are you kidding me? Oh yeah, yeah, I heard about that. I mean, that happens every once in a while here in the city, doesn't it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know it's just, it's just in the cities like, yeah, there are some mental you know um help and I just feel like in most cities, most people do, to be honest with you, yeah, and I just feel like most cities aren't, aren't given the help that's needed or willing to give up the financial aid that's needed for these places to exist like mental, like mental hospitals, like just you know yeah not all of them are bad people, no, so you know I'm not saying, but some of them really really need it.
Speaker 1:Dude like you, you know they shouldn't be out in public pushing people on trains or you know, that's never. Come on man.
Speaker 1:Like you know, it's ridiculous. So we just hope everybody's out there staying safe and you know, just you know, be aware of your surroundings. I see a lot of people walking. Dude, they'll be on their phone, and not that there's nothing wrong with that, but it's just anywhere, bro, like you, you honestly, anywhere, it seems like nowadays is a goal zone. You could be downtown, you could be in the heart of downtown and people are getting snatched up for their phones or shot, and it's unfortunate. Yeah, you should be able to go anywhere, really, without having to worry about any of that, but the reality is.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's weird because it's like In Colorado, when that happens, that happens in a mass scale. When it happens here, it just happens to like one or two people. Yeah, I'm not really laughing, but it's kind of a funny thing when you think about it. But it's only because it happens out here so often. As opposed to over there it hardly ever happens.
Speaker 1:If I'm not mistaken, I think there was a shooting in Colorado like two days ago or something.
Speaker 2:No, Well, I wouldn't doubt it. There's shooting everywhere, but I mean what I'm saying is I mean there's shooting in Colorado. People go shooting guns all the time in Colorado. It's just never used in a violent form. There's a lot of hunting going on up there. There's a lot of you're in the mountains, so it there's a lot of hunting going on up there.
Speaker 1:You're in the mountains, people go up there to shoot their guns. You think you ever heard about that story, about that one vice president who shot his friend and said mistakenly that he thought he was a bear, or something like that. You mean Dick Cheney, I think.
Speaker 2:You believe that bullshit? Yeah, I know Something happened.
Speaker 1:That dude was a bulldog. Dick Cheney was a know Something happened. He said you slept with my wife.
Speaker 2:That dude was a bulldog. Dick Cheney was a bulldog. Something happened. Dick Cheney, I think, has a lot to do with what's happening in the Republican Party right now. I think he still has a big influence over the Republican Party, him and the Bushes. To be honest with you, actually, I keep hearing that. The Bushes, to be honest with you, actually, I keep hearing that the Bushes might be coming back. George W Bush, not him, he can't run anymore. Oh, his fight, more likely Jeb Jeb Bush. How many Bushes are there? I'm not sure, but I think this might be the last one. But yeah, I think he's the oldest.
Speaker 1:I don't know, dude, it's just.
Speaker 2:But if that's the case, then yeah, I'm sure he's going to win. Oh, he'll most, He'll most. If a Bush runs president, it's Might as well just say race is over, let's not even do this. I can't what are we even talking about?
Speaker 1:just give him the damn office already, fuck I thought presidents couldn't run for a second year. I thought it was only you could be president once in your life, and that's it. That's what I'm saying. But how come trump was president twice then?
Speaker 2:okay, so if you got elected For one term, which is four years, and you don't get elected again the next year, then you can run again. Oh, that's why he can't run again After this term, because this is his second term and that's it.
Speaker 1:That's it. So you only get Like, so you only get two terms. If you didn't get the term Back to back, the first two terms Back to back, yeah you get, if you didn't get the term back-to-back, the first two terms.
Speaker 2:Back-to-back, yeah, you get two terms, no matter what Right, win or lose, whether it's back-to-back or whether it's now and you're fortunate enough to live long enough. Two elections down the road or something like that. You know what I'm saying. Three elections down the road.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:You know. So yeah, w Bush can't Dub, can't. Dove can't run again. Clinton can't run again, obama can't run again. Obama would probably still be able to, would be his youngest president to, I believe maybe if he were able to run again. I think he would get elected again if he were to run later.
Speaker 1:But you know he had a lot of popular votes, like a lot of popular people.
Speaker 2:I just you know, I don't remember all this turmoil when he was president.
Speaker 1:Me neither, because you know what it was. I feel like he was a smooth talker.
Speaker 2:I'm sure it was, but I'm sure there was all sorts of shit happening. But then again too, I really wasn't into the political scene in those days either. You know what I'm saying. Did you see, I'm older now so, yes, I pay a little bit more attention To the current events and the State of the Government.
Speaker 1:Yo, he probably said he said he did his four years and said, ah, fuck that, I'm out. Did you see the picture Like before when he went into presidency? He was young Obama.
Speaker 3:He was young dude and then, when he came out, he did two terms.
Speaker 2:Huh, he did eight years oh yeah, oh yeah, he said he was Well. I mean, yeah, he definitely looked a lot older. I mean obviously I mean it's, he looked way older. I think, he's only like 50 years old. He was like 37 when he but when?
Speaker 1:you're dealing with like all that you know. Just everybody like, yeah, but you're not right.
Speaker 2:There wasn't too much turmoil, like People were going nuts. Well, I mean, how do you think he felt?
Speaker 1:I mean, he said we made it baby. He said we done it.
Speaker 2:Black people in lesser power got killed for less.
Speaker 1:So to be the president. That's what I'm saying. And he had his inauguration downtown Chicago, dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know he went down. I was here when that shit happened. I was living here.
Speaker 1:That was legendary Yep it was that made it like dude. That put Chicago on the map too in a way. I mean Chicago's always been on the map.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but now, look, dude, the thing that's sad is, yeah, but the thing too, the sad part, is that I think he was kind of what put Chicago on the map before he was president. You know, he was in the scenes here doing his things to make. I mean, I don't know, it seemed to me like things were a lot smoother out here then. Definitely, I feel like maybe not crime wise, but like government wise government, local government wise yeah yeah, dad, and um crime has always been an issue in chicago and major cities anyways, right now it's just a lot of people visit for the downtown.
Speaker 1:The downtown is beautiful and on most cities you know.
Speaker 2:So now that he got since he got elected president, he's not back over here anymore. I don't think he's doing anything?
Speaker 1:Oh dude, I wouldn't it's like.
Speaker 2:That's why I think that's one of the reasons why the city's gone. You know, it's still a beautiful city, dude, don't get me wrong, definitely, and it sucks, dude.
Speaker 1:Because, yeah, dude, sometimes you can't really walk down the streets of downtown Chicago, no more. You used to be able to walk down the streets of downtown Chicago at 12, whatever time, no problems, no more. So-so, now I feel like you got to keep your head on a swivel, like you know. I mean no matter what, right Most of the times, like even back in the days, like you know, depending on the area, but it feels like more it's less about the area, and now it's more like, everywhere you go is kind of like you just got to keep your head on a swivel, dude. It's just, you know, it's not even about.
Speaker 1:Back in the day, dude, it almost used to seem like certain areas you know you couldn't, you shouldn't go to, not that you couldn't, but you shouldn't go to.
Speaker 1:Now it feels like everything is so widespread and that, um, these kids not even kids, like there's a, there's adults too that you know you can't, you can't really have a good time.
Speaker 1:Dude, all these bars are getting shut up, and not that it's not been happening before, it's just, yeah, dude, it used to be certain parts, bro, I remember. Now they're saying you go up north to like wrigleyville and, um, their people are getting robbed, or you know what I mean. And yep, like I said, dude, not that that has not have been happening before, but I feel like before maybe this is, maybe it's just my opinion, right, but before it was certain areas you knew like, all right, if I go here, I really got to be careful, but you know when, when you would go up north you would feel safe, or when you would go around downtown you would feel safe, or you know, now it's like you go around and there's still people, there's still a lot of people, but I feel like some of these kids are just getting like they don't care, no more, you know yeah they just don't care.
Speaker 1:And that's the thing, bro. That's the thing that sucks is is um a bunch of brand new people just getting exactly no reason exactly they're trying to hit their target or whoever they're looking for, and they don't care who's in the crowd. They don't care, no more. They're just spraying up the whole crowd now, king.
Speaker 2:Bon, where was he from? Was he from here? Yeah, he was from Chicago, okay.
Speaker 1:You know, most of those guys are from Chicago.
Speaker 2:Most of those guys were from All those. They were all considered Hitmen, weren't they?
Speaker 1:Yeah, they were like local. Like you know, I'm not, I'm not really.
Speaker 2:I was watching that one episode with Zevi.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, he's a cool guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, shout out to him. I like his episode. I like the way he explains stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's funny. Yeah, yeah, he is.
Speaker 2:But he was talking about how he had beef with some other gang out here or whatever, and he had heard that this girl who was another hit woman oh yeah, yeah, I heard about that was out for him and then they ended up getting each other's numbers and I guess they were chatting or whatever and he's like telling them oh dude, I think I just fell in love and blah, blah, blah. He was all falling in love with her and he's like I don't even notice how I dress. You can tell she's not into dudes.
Speaker 1:Yeah you can tell she was like I don't know what you're coming at me for, but I think he was just probably excited that she was like shooting too Like oh, you're shooting at people too.
Speaker 2:Romeo met you. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like you know what that's. Like Bonnie and Clyde yeah, you know what I'm talking about. We could be the next Bonnie Clyde. Right right, we could be the next Rod. Blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1:Right, right, no, no, I heard about that.
Speaker 2:I mean, you got to admit though. How cute would that?
Speaker 1:have been, you know, dude, like it's like when you meet that other woman, that's just like that kind of matches your craziness or matches your energy. You feel like that like, oh shit, we could take on the world like me and you.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean like me and you, girl, we go, yeah, yeah, you know, but that's crazy, though.
Speaker 1:Like to think, like he was, like to think that someone would fall in love with their enemy, like shooting at them, like damn, she's shooting at me. Damn bro, I think I'm in love, bro, shoot me, she's shooting at you, marry me right.
Speaker 2:Bullets flying and shit like hold on, tell your boys, don't, don't kill her.
Speaker 1:Don't kill her. That's funny. You know, let me deal with this. Yeah, bro, like hey baby, you really don't wanna hurt me. You really don't wanna hurt me, you love me. You know she's like what do you mean?
Speaker 2:You know, I twisted you. I mean I ain't talking shit.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, dude, it happens, dude.
Speaker 2:Some women. Dude, some men are into that, some crazy some men are into crazy, I'll admit it, bro like um, you know that, uh, have you ever seen?

Speaker 2:Nah, not, we're almost at the hour. I mean, what about you?
Speaker 1:You have any last quick thing you want to talk about, because we're like we're at 53 minutes right now yeah, we could just give them a quick little another five minutes or whatever, and then we can call it good, we're almost there yeah, we could just throw in a quick little news story about what news story you got, buddy. So, speaking of Colorado, bro, these guys hit up one of those breech trucks with all the money in it Brink trucks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, really.
Speaker 1:You didn't hear about it.
Speaker 2:Wow, that's surprising dude. No, no, we're not surprised, that stuff only happens like in big cities.
Speaker 1:Well, no, no, I don't know what part of Colorado, but supposedly they couldn't haul away with the money because it was too much, it was too heavy. You know what I mean. Nah, that's just greed getting to you right there, you know what I mean, that's just greed getting to you right there buddy, I guess they got caught, they got caught because of their own greed.
Speaker 2:Basically, is what got them caught.
Speaker 1:But it was like damn how much money was really in there for the bags to be that heavy dude.
Speaker 2:But still it's like really. You can't risk a few hundred thousand, a million, a half a million or half a million. Just dump about half a million dollars and just be on your way. True, true.
Speaker 1:But it's like dude, like Dude, but in the movies they make it seem like so easy.
Speaker 2:A bag full of money, oh yeah because those guys do the research and a lot of those guys eventually at one point worked for one of those places. You know, people don't go into stealing from these places without knowing exactly how these places work. Places without knowing exactly how these places work. Dude, that'd be pretty stupid dude you know what?
Speaker 2:stupid to do something like that without they haven't done any research some people do it and get away with it, though yeah, but I mean yeah you know how lucky you got again, believe me, those people, those people have done the research you understand what I'm saying, yeah, they're equipped for anything and everything. True, they got scanners a lot of times they usually have an inside man dude. Yeah, I mean look at look at all those movies, all those.
Speaker 2:A lot of times they usually have an inside man, dude. I mean, look at all those movies. All those movies are the same way they usually have an inside man, no matter what dude. There's no way you can do any sort of heist like that. That's high security, high tech.
Speaker 2:Without Some bypass, no, without having had an inside man at one point, there's no way Break them off real nice I mean, look at that one dorky kid that was stealing millions and millions of dollars out of banks that were in the process of being built before they even opened their doors. Those branches were losing millions of dollars because he would hide out in vents, dude, for days, on days just sitting there watching the guy put in the ATMs and looking and seeing putting video cameras and watching how they program the, the ATMs and all that shit.
Speaker 1:that's the only way he was able to.
Speaker 2:That's the only way he was bottles and shit.
Speaker 1:I would have been like what's that smell? Something dripping on my head? Well, yeah, I mean bottles or whatever, I don't know Sandwiches. That's crazy, that's dedication.
Speaker 2:That show might be on Netflix. I'll see if I can remember what it's called.
Speaker 1:I don't remember.
Speaker 2:What ended up happening is that he met this, really this lady that was from high class, like I guess her dad was an ambassador, worked in the ambassador in, like, I think, poland or one of those countries like that, and he had went with his, with her, because they were engaged at the time to go visit them and they, they happened to take a tour through one of the castles and there was some sort of a hair jewel or something, jewelry or something that you clip on your hair that belonged to one of the queens or something, and there was like one or three that were. It was from this famous painting where she was wearing a whole bunch of them but there was only three left in existence and one of them was there and he ended up stealing it somehow. Yeah, and then that's, it's a good. It's a good doc bro. It's a good doc bro, it really is. But, yeah, they, he ended up getting caught after, I think, a decade or two decades of jacking money and not getting caught.
Speaker 2:Is that the Paris Spider-Man? No, no, no, he was Canadian, I think, and he got arrested. He served, I think, 10, 15 years in jail and I think he's out years in jail and I think he's out now because they were interviewing him. He was the one telling the stories yeah, it's crazy stuff can't take some people nowhere.
Speaker 2:I guess we're pretty much there, bro. Might as well just 57 minutes.
Speaker 1:Be careful who you take to the museums with you. But no dude. Like I said, we really appreciate you guys staying tuned. Hope you enjoyed the show. Like we say, we know we're up and coming. We're gonna continue to. We're up and coming here at 8A Studios yes, sir, shout out to that.
Speaker 2:Still doing, trying to do it ourselves still leave a comment sometimes what do you call it?
Speaker 2:Sometimes the quality might not be that great. I know last week's last episode sounded like I was doing a remote interview from somewhere else, but no, that was just me still trying to figure out how to edit audio and all that stuff. So I felt like, rather, rather than mess it up more or in the run the risk of losing it, I might as well just stop messing with it even more and just leave it like that and just post it up. So that's what I did. Yeah, so we do apologize if the sound quality was kind of hard last last episode. Hopefully this episode is better. You know how we do it raw and uncut.
