Hot take: peer pressure isn’t real · An ASMR Practice

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So I just realized there's something I used to say
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: all the time that I was literally right. I was
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: literally right about it. And I got confirmation yesterday. So
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I was hanging out with some guys and fucking one
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: of them was trying to peer pressure the other one
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: into drinking liquor. Because I used to say that peer
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: pressure doesn't exist. This is my statement. This is my
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: formal statement. Peer pressure doesn't exist. Only a lack of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: willpower does. Or discipline. Or whatever you want to call it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: So the younger guy was trying to convince. The older guy.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: To drink liquor. And he commanded me. He was like.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Make us all drinks. And you should have seen my
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: freaking car. You should have literally seen my car. It's like. Just.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: It's like. it's better now it's better now and it
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: was pretty bad and so I was really struggling to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: find anything it's like I have lots of stuff in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: my car to procure beverages okay I got lots of
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: sweeteners and flavored things um you know I just so
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I did I was like okay I'll I didn't like it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I was trying to convince the guy. I was like,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think we should be pressuring him to drink
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't want to drink. But he was like,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: bring him a drink. So, okay, I was like, all right,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I got three cups. Perfect. I have exactly the amount
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of cups that I need for this command that I've
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: been given. I have exactly what I need. So I'm like, okay,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we're going to figure this out. And I did. You know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I had some, like, athletic... What do you call this?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's like a lemonade athletic electrolyte powder. And I had
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: some rum. I had some nice rum. Really, really nice rum.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Like the best. And so I'm like, alright, we're sharing
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: with the boys. With the guys. And it was a pleasure.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It was a pleasure to dig through my bullshit and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And I bring the drinks. I'm the bartender. I'm the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: unpaid bartender. And so I bring it and I try
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to hand the guy the drink. He's like, no. All
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you got to do is say no. It would seem
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: for some things. I mean, I fear that I don't
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: know what everybody goes through. you know, and, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a couple nights ago, I was hanging with the brothers,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and I had my, a journal that was gifted to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: me by my church, and I've written some kind of,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it started out as just a note journal, so that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I could, like, pay attention in church, and, like, if
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I have questions, then they're written down, so that I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: could go speak to someone at the church, Because the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: first time I went, I had questions, but I didn't
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: remember good enough what they actually said to ask it good.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And I did ask. I did ask someone that I knew.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, why did they say that? Because they
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: pointed to something and I wasn't sure. And it's still
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a mystery to me what they pointed to. I probably
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: should have spoke to the pointer guy. but I spoke
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to someone else who probably wasn't paying that much attention,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: but they pointed to something and they said, that's not
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: supposed to be there. And then they quickly brushed past it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And I was like, what are they talking about? What
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: are they talking about? So next time I go, I gotta,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: if I have questions, I think I gotta ask the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: person who said the thing, but I asked someone else
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and they were like, I don't know. Um, and, uh, yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just realizing, I think, I'm just realizing, like, I've
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: known all along what I need, or what I, I've
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: known myself this whole time, and I definitely, my inner
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: brat is very loud, my inner brat is, like, the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: brattiest brat ever, and people who know me know this, and, uh,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It's good. It's literally... Is it good? Yeah, I think
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it's good. Like... I think the whole authenticity thing pisses
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: me off. Because... Because I'm probably taking it wrong. I just...
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I don't like the implication that I'm not being authentic.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I think that really, like, ticks me off in a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: big way. Because it's always, like, some people that... It's like...
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It's like I am. So we're back to square one
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: with the authenticity thing of like....
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I've been. I've been doing this. Right now I'm chilling
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in a hammock. I just wanted to lay down. I'm loitering, probably.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I'm chilling. And I'm like, worst case scenario, someone comes
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and talks to me. I'll chat them up. Yesterday, I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: didn't believe the hotel guy. He was like, we don't
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: have any availability. And I was like, when he first,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the first time, I was like, okay, fine. I'll figure
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: something out. And then I went back. I booked online
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: through a third party. I hope I get my money back.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I have faith I'm going to get my money back.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It said I would. I don't even know how to check,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to be honest. I think it was just, you know, God,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: God to me is a mischievous friend. Okay. And God was,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: cause I knew, I literally knew I've had this happen
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: multiple times with third party apps where most times you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: just have to wait. And the guy was like, I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: went back and it was the same guy. And he
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: was like, you didn't believe me. And I was like, no,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't. And you know, that says more about me
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: than anything. And he was a nice guy and I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: actually enjoyed talking to him. I want one of those
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: hotel rooms so freaking bad, dude. I would just like,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I would love a bed. The hammock's nice and all.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And they got some, what do you call these? Lounge things.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: They got some of that. So that's an option. But gosh,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I would love a bed. And I know I got
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: some beds like three hours away. But I'm just called.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I'm called to stay here for a little bit longer.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want to drive, frankly. I think I'm too
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: tired to drive. So I'm sort of like waiting for
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: more energy to arrive. Sort of like a nappy kind
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of time. I could go play in the ocean the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: ocean was I was enjoying the ocean last night and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: so maybe I got my fill I might go back
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: yeah technically I think I broke the law last night
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing. This is the other thing I've
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: always known. It only matters if you get caught. And
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it only matters if they decide to charge you. Nobody
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: charged me. I got caught once. But I don't think
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: they were a cop. I think they were just a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: guy trying to fish. And I was just there breaking
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the law. And you know. Worst case scenario.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: What?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I sleep in the jail? They got a bed there?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: This is what men... This is what men don't understand.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It's like, there are worse fates than jail, brother. I think...
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I think, like... You know, just being left on the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: streets might be worse. And, you know, I have a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: memory in Florida once. I was drinking with, like, an
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: older couple. You know, they just kept fucking feeding me liquor.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know what their intentions were.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: But.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They were boozing me up. And I got way too drunk.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I got way too drunk because I didn't say no.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I just kept drinking with them. I think I was
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: trying to muster the courage to ask someone to let
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: me sleep on their floor. Let me sleep on your floor.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And ultimately, you know where I ended up sleeping that night?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: This is a bad story. This was a pretty bad night.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I thought I was going to die. Because I had
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the means of, like, sleeping in my car. Okay? Sort of.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Not as good as I have it now. I'll tell
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you that much right now. I got it pretty good
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: right now. And, uh... I got it pretty good right
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: now and I just I couldn't even make it back
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to my car that's how you know it's bad you
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: can't be that drunk you really really can't be that
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: drunk I mean you can I did it and I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: ended up it was some kind of maybe you'd call
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: it a pier I don't know it was overlooking the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: ocean because it's hot the further you get from the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: ocean the hotter it is In Florida, I did. So
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I ended up just sleeping on the ground. Like, I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: was leaned up against something. I was afraid to lay
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: down because, like, if you've seen Breaking Bad, like, you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you can't be, you can't be, when you're that drunk,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a hazard to lay down. I'm stone
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: cold sober right now I mean I got some caffeine
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: in me It's just making me sleepy though Or I'm
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: just sleepy I don't know I'm just sleepy Love isn't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: always on time Love isn't always on time But yeah,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I just ended up sleeping like on a pier. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: was way too drunk and I was just sitting straight
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: up and I just closed my eyes for a bit
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: because I couldn't even make it to my car. And
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: ultimately nothing bad happened. I'm pretty sure a guy came
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and like asked me if I had pills. And I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: was just like, huh? What? Do I have pills? What
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: did he ask me for? I don't even know. He
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: asked me if I had pills. I was like, I
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: don't have anything, guy. Like, I... You know, I don't
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: even think I had, like, a wallet on me. I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: was just, like, wandering the streets. Like... On someone else's dime.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And I wasn't being ID'd anywhere.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Sigh.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: So, whatever. Now I have a bag. I have a bag.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I have a tablet. I got the means of my
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: own entertainment so that I don't just get drunk with
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: strangers who are trying to get me way too drunk.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And I keep surviving. I literally just keep surviving. I'm persisting.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Whether I like it or not. So, cheers to that.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I'm raising a metaphorical or imaginary glass to that. There's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: so many ways to entertain yourself. Sometimes it's just going
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to bed.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Anyways.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I might go talk to some people. Who knows? Who knows?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: The world is my oyster. I hope the world is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: your oyster, too, if you're listening. If anybody's listening, the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: world is your oyster. You just gotta have faith. You
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: really just gotta have faith. And you gotta keep the faith.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I've been saying this. I've been saying this forever. You
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: don't have to listen. You can do whatever you like.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: That's our God-given rap, okay? Yee-haw. Bye.
