Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Alright. I've given up. I've given up on organic sleep.
- 0:08Speaker 1: I've given up. I'm simply... I'm simply... See, now I'm tired.
- 0:20Speaker 1: All you gotta do is give up. But... But I'm
- 0:25Speaker 1: gonna try to tell two stories that are kind of similar.
- 0:29Speaker 1: One time....
- 0:33Speaker 2: So, I had a tradition, I had a tradition, um,
- 0:42Speaker 2: of when I would, you know, I'd have a drink
- 0:44Speaker 2: or two at, like, a bar in Binnington.
- 0:50Speaker 1: If I was drinking by myself, I usually had, like,
- 0:52Speaker 1: my journal or something. And I would have a drink
- 0:57Speaker 1: or two at the bar, and then I had the
- 0:59Speaker 1: tradition of I would go and pee on the Bennington Monument. Afterwards.
- 1:06Speaker 1: And this one time I pull up. And there's these
- 1:08Speaker 1: like teenagers. And they're like prancing around. There's three teenagers.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I assume. I don't know. There's some infertile looking youths.
- 1:24Speaker 1: And they're prancing around. And they're doing like religious imagery.
- 1:33Speaker 1: imagery it's like three three young young lads and I
- 1:39Speaker 1: walk up and I'm like what are you guys doing
- 1:43Speaker 1: you know and they start like bowing in the direction
- 1:48Speaker 1: of the Bennington monument like they start literally bowing and
- 1:55Speaker 1: like praising it And I joined them. I literally joined them.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I was like, you know what? We're going to bow.
- 2:08Speaker 1: We're going to bow here and praise the monument. And
- 2:13Speaker 1: we did. And then we were like kind of prancing
- 2:18Speaker 1: in a circle together. And I hope somebody, like this
- 2:22Speaker 1: is why I'm not afraid of the surveillance state is
- 2:24Speaker 1: because I hope somebody has this video. Because I know
- 2:28Speaker 1: it was real. And, you know, sometimes if there were
- 2:33Speaker 1: a lot of people at the monument, there was, like,
- 2:34Speaker 1: some woods over there I could go pee in. You know,
- 2:38Speaker 1: you just gotta get a little cover sometimes. You know,
- 2:42Speaker 1: this is the good thing about dresses. It's not publicly
- 2:45Speaker 1: indecent if there's a dress involved. Because it's just, like,
- 2:50Speaker 1: I'm covered. I'm literally covered. And it's literally just pee. Like,
- 2:55Speaker 1: the freaking deer pee, don't they? Don't the deer pee?
- 3:00Speaker 1: And the rabbits... And the squirrels, they all pee. And
- 3:03Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. It's literally not a big deal.
- 3:09Speaker 1: And so this other time, I was... Waiting for a signature.
- 3:14Speaker 1: On like... Let's say a... Delivery item I was delivering.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I was waiting for a signature. And it was like
- 3:25Speaker 1: a whole ordeal. Like... You know... The person, well, the
- 3:33Speaker 1: person who answered the door was a child. And I
- 3:36Speaker 1: was like, can I speak to an adult? And they
- 3:41Speaker 1: were like, you know, yelling in another language for an
- 3:43Speaker 1: adult to come. And an adult, a very tired looking
- 3:46Speaker 1: adult comes. I just wish you could have seen how
- 3:55Speaker 1: tired this person looked. like, I was like, mm-hmm, not
- 3:59Speaker 1: having kids heard, mm-hmm, this is not in the cards
- 4:03Speaker 1: for me, and, um, so they, they take the thing,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and they're looking at it, and they're like, they're like,
- 4:18Speaker 1: I don't know, they're like, you need this person, I
- 4:22Speaker 1: was like, I was like, well, if, if this person
- 4:26Speaker 1: lives here, like, I think you can sign it, I'm
- 4:28Speaker 1: pretty sure. And so the kid is, like, translating for me. Because,
- 4:35Speaker 1: you know, so it's like there's a triangulation kind of
- 4:38Speaker 1: situation happening. And so, I don't know, I think maybe
- 4:45Speaker 1: something got lost in translation or something. So they're now
- 4:53Speaker 1: hollering for the next adult. They're hollering for the next
- 4:56Speaker 1: adult to come. and it's just like a waiting game
- 5:02Speaker 1: it's seriously like a waiting game and I was I
- 5:06Speaker 1: was okay with it there were like a bunch of
- 5:07Speaker 1: kids in there and they were they were like being
- 5:10Speaker 1: very like cute I don't know they were being very
- 5:13Speaker 1: like like characters like they had distinct personalities and they
- 5:22Speaker 1: were you know it was like an oldest son kind
- 5:26Speaker 1: of situation and You know, this was like our translator.
- 5:30Speaker 1: And like the little girls were like... I don't know.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Kind of like following him around and like messing with
- 5:40Speaker 1: him at a distance. Like seriously. That's what they were doing.
- 5:51Speaker 1: And so the presumed mom goes and gets the grandma. And...
- 5:59Speaker 1: the grandma and so now now the adults are gone
- 6:04Speaker 1: i'm the adult and i'm supervising the children once more
- 6:09Speaker 1: and you would not believe this like the kids started
- 6:17Speaker 1: doing like the same movements like they started doing like
- 6:22Speaker 1: worshiping like bowing kind of prancing around in a circle
- 6:27Speaker 1: kind of thing like, before me, and I wasn't a
- 6:31Speaker 1: part of it, I, I wasn't supposed to enter, I
- 6:33Speaker 1: don't think, they didn't really invite me in, I was
- 6:36Speaker 1: taught that you don't, like, go places you're not invited,
- 6:39Speaker 1: and so, obviously, I'm not trying to, like, enter this
- 6:42Speaker 1: person's home, like, I'm, I'm just the delivery person, like,
- 6:49Speaker 1: but the kids are, like, doing the thing, and I'm, like,
- 6:51Speaker 1: getting a flashback, like, I'm, like, that's so Raven, seriously, I'm, like,
- 6:55Speaker 1: getting a flashback to the I was like, is the
- 7:01Speaker 1: monument in the room with us? And, um... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- 7:35Speaker 1: I just immediately had to go I had to take
- 7:38Speaker 1: a break after this I had to literally take so
- 7:41Speaker 1: I stopped by the freaking leasing office and I was like.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Do y'all have ice.
- 7:48Speaker 1: And water I was like I kind of need ice
- 7:50Speaker 1: and water right now and actually I don't even think
- 7:55Speaker 1: I asked I think I Uh, I think they like
- 7:57Speaker 1: walked in and they were like, can I help you?
- 7:59Speaker 1: And I was like, I was like, you got, I
- 8:01Speaker 1: can drink the water here. That'd be okay. They were like, yeah, yeah,
- 8:06Speaker 1: you can have some water. And then I just kind
- 8:10Speaker 1: of helped myself to some ice because they had like
- 8:13Speaker 1: a whole fridge there and like a freezer. And, um,
- 8:19Speaker 1: then I had to like relay the story. And I
- 8:22Speaker 1: just remember, like, I'm on the phone telling this story,
- 8:25Speaker 1: and I just remember the leasing agent is, like, side-eyeing
- 8:29Speaker 1: me every so often. You know, like, trying to mind
- 8:38Speaker 1: her own business, but, you know, it was just like
- 8:41Speaker 1: a tale. It was like, and I was just giggling.
- 8:45Speaker 1: I was giggling it up. I was giggling so hard.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Because it just... I'm getting all these flashbacks. And, you know,
- 8:55Speaker 1: I had, like, my romantic movie scene in front of
- 9:04Speaker 1: the Bennington Monument. Like, you know, this guy was, like...
- 9:10Speaker 1: He was, like, doing, like, a through hike on the IT.
- 9:13Speaker 2: And.
- 9:18Speaker 1: And I, you know, I found him. It's kind of
- 9:22Speaker 1: fucked up actually. Um, my, my tire pressure is currently
- 9:30Speaker 1: low and like technically I know how to do it,
- 9:35Speaker 1: I suppose, but I don't, I don't want to, it's
- 9:40Speaker 1: just like not my job. It's just like really not
- 9:43Speaker 1: my job. And I actually know a place I could go,
- 9:47Speaker 1: I think, that would do it for free. Because I'm
- 9:51Speaker 1: pretty sure they told me they would if I stopped by.
- 9:55Speaker 1: And I absolutely should go do that. Ugh. but my
- 10:03Speaker 1: tire pressure was slow and I was like, this is
- 10:07Speaker 1: not my job. And then I found this guy who
- 10:08Speaker 1: was doing a through hike. I was like, I was like, so, uh,
- 10:14Speaker 1: I was like, I, I will let you shower in
- 10:17Speaker 1: my shower and I will feed you dinner. If you, um,
- 10:23Speaker 1: will put some hair in my tires for me, please?
- 10:27Speaker 1: And he was like, yeah, yeah, this sounds perfect. He's like,
- 10:30Speaker 1: I haven't showered in weeks. I was like, okay, yeah,
- 10:33Speaker 1: let's go. And, uh.
- 10:39Speaker 1: So, you know, we went. I let him use my shower.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And I, you know... I guess he probably, like, put
- 10:51Speaker 1: on different clothes, because he was kind of stinky when
- 10:54Speaker 1: I found him. He was, like, really stinky. So, first
- 11:00Speaker 1: we put air in my tires, and then... And by we,
- 11:03Speaker 1: I mean he put air in my tires, and I
- 11:05Speaker 1: kind of, like, giggled at a distance.
- 11:12Speaker 2: And.
- 11:16Speaker 1: He, um... you know, so then he used my shower,
- 11:26Speaker 1: he changed, he was looking a little less stinky, and
- 11:29Speaker 1: then I took him, I took him to my spa,
- 11:33Speaker 1: I took him to my literal spa, I said, Dutchman's Tavern,
- 11:35Speaker 1: let's freaking go, we ate some dinner, and, and then
- 11:43Speaker 1: I was like, the only other thing I know to
- 11:45Speaker 1: do here is go to the freakiest monument, I was like,
- 11:49Speaker 1: we could go to the monument, and so we went
- 11:52Speaker 1: to the monument, and I think we sort of just, like,
- 11:57Speaker 1: did a loop around it, kind of, and, like, halfway,
- 12:01Speaker 1: because you park in the back, and then we, like,
- 12:03Speaker 1: walk to the front, and I'm, like, I don't know.
- 12:08Speaker 1: I think for the first time I'm probably, like, reading
- 12:10Speaker 1: the sign there, because normally I just park in the back,
- 12:13Speaker 1: piss at the tower, and go home. Or, you know,
- 12:16Speaker 1: sometimes I do, like, a seance with some youths. um
- 12:28Speaker 1: and so yeah yeah but so we walk to the
- 12:45Speaker 1: front we're like reading and then it starts to freaking
- 12:48Speaker 1: pour like It just starts to rain. And we just
- 12:52Speaker 1: kind of looked at each other. And we were like.
- 12:54Speaker 1: I guess we have to kiss. And we did. We
- 12:58Speaker 1: literally did. And it was very beautiful. And then. We
- 13:04Speaker 1: finished our loop. Went back to the car. And. I
- 13:11Speaker 1: think I just took him back to the freaking trail.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I don't know. I literally just took him back. And
- 13:16Speaker 1: I was like bye. Bye. And I don't remember his name, unfortunately.
- 13:24Speaker 1: I really don't.
- 13:29Speaker 2: But, you know.
- 13:33Speaker 1: It was a very beautiful moment, regardless. And it was, like,
- 13:37Speaker 1: a mutual exchange, I think. Like, I needed a service,
- 13:42Speaker 1: and I think that boy, you know, probably could have
- 13:44Speaker 1: used some, like, food, like, a meal, and, like, a shower.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:50Speaker 1: You know, these are like pretty valuable things when you're
- 13:52Speaker 1: just like freaking walking really far. You're just like backpacking.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Nothing feels better than a freaking. I backpacked a single
- 14:05Speaker 1: night once in the White Mountains and. I was just, dude,
- 14:11Speaker 1: we finished a freaking hike and I was like, I'm
- 14:14Speaker 1: I just need a freaking meal. I just need a
- 14:16Speaker 1: meal so bad. And so we got, we went to
- 14:19Speaker 1: this French place. They had crepes and like various kinds
- 14:24Speaker 1: of grilled cheese. And I was like, yeah, this is
- 14:27Speaker 1: the spot. This is the spot. This is all we need.
- 14:32Speaker 1: And it was so freaking good. Oh my gosh. I
- 14:38Speaker 1: ate way too much though. That's the problem with like
- 14:41Speaker 1: fasting for too long. I think it's like, then you
- 14:45Speaker 1: eat too much. And then it, like, hurts. And so
- 14:49Speaker 1: then I was just, like, in pain. Seriously. But it
- 14:56Speaker 1: was really good. Like, it was so good that I, like,
- 14:58Speaker 1: couldn't stop. And, yeah. I mean, backpacking is, like, pretty fun.
- 15:08Speaker 1: It definitely snowed. It definitely snowed. I mean, this has happened, like,
- 15:13Speaker 1: three times to me. Where I just backpack and I'm
- 15:16Speaker 1: just like, it just snows. And I don't know if
- 15:20Speaker 1: I just never check the weather or if the weather
- 15:22Speaker 1: always lies. I don't know. I don't care. But basically, yeah,
- 15:33Speaker 1: I've woken up to like inches of snow like several
- 15:36Speaker 1: times while backpacking. And it's like, okay, the shoes I
- 15:42Speaker 1: left outside are now icy. great, great, but it made
- 15:48Speaker 1: it down, got some French food, literally just had to go, um,
- 15:58Speaker 1: backpacking is fine, I think backpacking would be better if
- 16:01Speaker 1: it wasn't a mountain, I think mountains are kind of
- 16:05Speaker 1: extreme to be, like, going up, you know, and I
- 16:10Speaker 1: feel like I've, weirdly, I've watched, like, a lot of
- 16:15Speaker 1: videos or documentaries about, like, people who, like, climb the
- 16:20Speaker 1: tallest mountains, and it's, like, I don't know, I don't
- 16:24Speaker 1: know that we should be doing all that. I mean,
- 16:29Speaker 1: I'm sure, like, the people who are, like, guiding them
- 16:31Speaker 1: probably make a lot of money, and so good for them,
- 16:35Speaker 1: I guess, but it doesn't appeal to me, like, I'm
- 16:41Speaker 1: not really, like, a bucket, like, on my bucket list
- 16:44Speaker 1: is not, like, Mount Rushmore or whatever, Mount, fuck, Mount, fuck,
- 16:49Speaker 1: I don't even know, I don't think it's Rushmore, I'm
- 16:53Speaker 1: pretty sure that's in freaking South Dakota, uh, South Dakota,
- 16:59Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I literally thought my hiking partner died
- 17:03Speaker 1: in South Dakota, like, it was, like, the stupidest shit
- 17:06Speaker 1: I've ever seen, like, And I gave up. I turned
- 17:09Speaker 1: around and dude literally left me behind. He straight up
- 17:12Speaker 1: left me behind. I was like, this isn't right. This
- 17:16Speaker 1: literally isn't right. And then I thought he died. I
- 17:20Speaker 1: was like in some large crevice, like waiting. I was
- 17:25Speaker 1: trying to like find another way up because the way
- 17:28Speaker 1: that was chosen by my leader was like kind of
- 17:32Speaker 1: dumb straight up. And I was like, I was like
- 17:37Speaker 1: what dude and I was just falling down and it's
- 17:42Speaker 1: like I have this huge backpack I'm like a turtle
- 17:46Speaker 1: with an oversized shell crawling up this sandy mountain and
- 17:52Speaker 1: I'm like rolling backwards like tumbling down with this huge
- 17:58Speaker 1: backpack and I got these freaking hiking poles that are
- 18:01Speaker 1: like stabbing me laughing And I'm like, what the heck?
- 18:09Speaker 1: What the actual heck? And so I tried to find
- 18:13Speaker 1: another way and I just couldn't figure it out. And
- 18:15Speaker 1: then I just waited. I found this crevice that looked
- 18:18Speaker 1: promising and I was trying to like make my way.
- 18:21Speaker 1: You know, I thought I could like bounce off the
- 18:23Speaker 1: sides or something. I thought I could like, you know,
- 18:30Speaker 1: climb the walls or something. And ultimately I was like,
- 18:35Speaker 1: this is stupid. And this backpack is like really big.
- 18:37Speaker 1: And like the poles are like literally in the way
- 18:43Speaker 1: and they're just like stabbing me. And I have literally
- 18:46Speaker 1: like five gallons of water on my freaking back because,
- 18:51Speaker 1: you know, we were in the desert and I'm like,
- 18:54Speaker 1: they tell you to bring a lot of water in
- 18:56Speaker 1: the desert. And so eventually I just give up. And,
- 19:05Speaker 1: you know, we're like shouting through the crevice at each other. Like,
- 19:10Speaker 1: I'm like, are you alive? Hello? Hello? Are you alive?
- 19:16Speaker 1: And I'm not really getting any responses. And then I
- 19:19Speaker 1: just hear a scream. Like, dude just screams. And I'm like, oh, boy. Oh, boy.
- 19:30Speaker 1: What are we doing now? And then I'm like, I'm
- 19:38Speaker 1: coming to terms with this. I'm coming to terms with
- 19:40Speaker 1: his death. I'm just sitting in the crevice coming to
- 19:42Speaker 1: terms with his death. And I'm like, you know, I'm
- 19:47Speaker 1: like retracing my steps in my brain. I'm like, okay,
- 19:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna... to have to get back to the car.
- 19:51Speaker 1: I'm going to have to contact somebody else because like
- 19:56Speaker 1: we're going to need a helicopter, I think. I was like,
- 20:01Speaker 1: I don't know how I'm getting up there. And so.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Ultimately, it ended up being fine, um, but, yeah, I,
- 20:15Speaker 1: I heard a scream, and I got, I got pretty
- 20:17Speaker 1: just down in the dumps, I was, like, I guess,
- 20:20Speaker 1: I guess he might be dead, and I don't know,
- 20:24Speaker 1: and I was just, like, dehydrated, and sunburned, and, like, carrying, like,
- 20:29Speaker 1: an oversized turtle shell, and, like, being poked by my
- 20:33Speaker 1: own hiking poles, and, um, I was just like, dang,
- 20:39Speaker 1: this isn't even right. This literally isn't even right. What
- 20:46Speaker 1: we're doing here. I don't think you should leave a
- 20:50Speaker 1: man behind. Especially if this was your idea. I feel
- 20:59Speaker 1: like when I was leading hikes, I was usually... I
- 21:02Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like I usually took the back.
- 21:04Speaker 1: I was usually making sure that nobody strayed off. But
- 21:08Speaker 1: maybe sometimes I was in the front. I don't know.
- 21:10Speaker 1: I don't really know. But I feel like if I
- 21:12Speaker 1: was in the front, I was, like, twirling around, like,
- 21:14Speaker 1: being like, is everybody here? Where is everybody? Head count.
- 21:19Speaker 2: You know.
- 21:20Speaker 1: And I don't think I ever lost anybody. I'm pretty
- 21:23Speaker 1: sure I kept the gang together. I'm pretty sure. But, yeah,
- 21:33Speaker 1: you know. I was tumbling down the hill like a turtle.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Dude just kept going.
- 21:44Speaker 1: He literally just kept going without me. And then he
- 21:49Speaker 1: just screamed into the crevice. And I was like, uh-oh.
- 21:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna need a helicopter. Oh, man. So I'm hoping
- 22:04Speaker 1: the sleeping pills kick in any second now. That would
- 22:06Speaker 1: just be really, really nice. So, I don't know. These
- 22:14Speaker 1: are my memories. Now calm down, memory. Night, night. Night, night.
