Hello, how you doing.

Hello, how you doing.

I'm doing. I'm actually like pretty calm right now, which is great. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. Man. You ever get really calm and then you're like, all right, I need to backtrack and make note of all the variables of this situation so I can reverse engineer the calmness at all times. Does that make sense?

You ever get really calm and then you're like, all right, I need to backtrack and make note of all the variables of this situation so I can reverse engineer the calmness at all times. Does that make sense?

It makes sense, But you're gonna hate my answer. Whenever I'm like in that state, I'm just like, oh, this is nice, and then I just kind of let it ride out.

It makes sense, But you're gonna hate my answer. Whenever I'm like in that state, I'm just like, oh, this is nice, and then I just kind of let it ride out.

That's the funny thing.

That's the funny thing.

Maybe maybe I take note of, like here the things going on around me, and like maybe you know, this is the thing that's making things feel cool.

Maybe maybe I take note of, like here the things going on around me, and like maybe you know, this is the thing that's making things feel cool.

Yeah.

But otherwise I'm just you know, trying to live in the moment. Let it, Let it be cool.

But otherwise I'm just you know, trying to live in the moment. Let it, Let it be cool.

See.

See.

That's the funny thing is I think when you're calm, if you then start to go okay, I need to reverse engineer the variables that got me to this state, and then all of a sudden, bam, you're anxious again. Yeah.

That's the funny thing is I think when you're calm, if you then start to go okay, I need to reverse engineer the variables that got me to this state, and then all of a sudden, bam, you're anxious again. Yeah.

That's it's putting too much thought into like being calm. It's like, all right, let's just enjoy being calm. Let's let's enjoy like, you know, the day and kind of like.

That's it's putting too much thought into like being calm. It's like, all right, let's just enjoy being calm. Let's let's enjoy like, you know, the day and kind of like.

The state that you're in.

The state that you're in.

I will say, there's probably all There probably is elements to why I'm feeling more calm, but I don't know what they are.

I will say, there's probably all There probably is elements to why I'm feeling more calm, but I don't know what they are.

I mean, you can like show up, be anything you could have just like slept well the night before, and that just does enough to like bring chemistry to just like oh, or feeling good today because I stowed up. Think like, whenever I have a day where I'm feeling like exceptionally well, I think it's like just the smallest thing that happened to go right in your day that kind of sets you up for having like a good rest of your day. So I think sometimes it's just walk.

So I think sometimes it's just walk.

I uh, well, I have a I'm doing a poker game tonight, so I'm excited about that. I feel like that's I like, that's that's the thing for me. Is I feel like I like having something to look forward to.

I uh, well, I have a I'm doing a poker game tonight, so I'm excited about that. I feel like that's I like, that's that's the thing for me. Is I feel like I like having something to look forward to.

Now, are you looking forward to like hanging out and being with people. Are you looking forward to like gambling and like losing all your money?

Now, are you looking forward to like hanging out and being with people. Are you looking forward to like gambling and like losing all your money?

No, it's just like no, I I like I actually, well, I really like I like I've started getting into poker, very low sticks, like twenty dollars poker, just because it's like I like being around a table of people and like hanging out. But and and but like you don't necessarily are You're not necessarily obligated. It's not like a fucking dinner party where you have like this weird obligation to talk. But it's the it's my here's the poker. Actually, here's what it is. Is it fulfills my dream scenario at all times. My dream scenario at all times is to be in a group of people who are all like talking and have the option to join in on the conversation, but also the option to withdraw and just simply be around people without the pressure of having to keep up a conversation. Actually, I take back that that's my dream at all times, because actually there's a lot of times where I do enjoy having a one on one conversation. But there's a lot of times where I feel that way, where I'm like, I want to be around people, but I don't really want to have to talk to anyone, and poker is like the perfect scenario. I actually don't like gambling, like you know, that's why I like playing like very like low stakes things like I went to I mean, I've been to Vegas a bunch of times, but I put like ten dollars in a Willy Wonka slot machine once and then I lost, and I was like, I think that's the end of my gambling. See that's I don't like like the slot machines and stuff, because that's all the opposite of what I was just talking about. Like I like just like being around Oh yeah, folks.

No, it's just like no, I I like I actually, well, I really like I like I've started getting into poker, very low sticks, like twenty dollars poker, just because it's like I like being around a table of people and like hanging out.

I get like that same kind of like interaction to like concerts, Like I go to like a lot of like hardcore shows, like you know, small like shit, like fifty people in like a and everyone's so chill that it's like all right, I can like talk and engage in conversation. But the really one thing that I really really like about it is that, like you know, we're all everybody's talking, canking, go out whatever you want, but as soon as the band comes on, everybody just needs to kind of be quiet for a sec and then you enjoy the band and kind of beat the fuck out of your friends. And that's great.

And that's great.

Yeah yeah, yeah, oh wait, you know what the best feeling in the world is, Okay, when You're at like show, whether it's like comedy or concert or whatever, and you're like talking to someone and not necessarily because you don't enjoy the conversation that you're having, but just because ending a conversation in general can be difficult. Right, You're having a conversation with somebody and then the thing starts, like the lights go down, yeah, and then that naturally ends your conversation for you. It's like that's like a chef's kiss moment.

Yeah yeah, yeah, oh wait, you know what the best feeling in the world is, Okay, when You're at like show, whether it's like comedy or concert or whatever, and you're like talking to someone and not necessarily because you don't enjoy the conversation that you're having, but just because ending a conversation in general can be difficult.

It's like that's like a chef's kiss moment.

Oh dude, you don't even know. There's so many times like I feel like I'm all right with having like having a conversation, but starting it and ending it are like my nightmareson I know, because I never know how to end it. Just having like the natural cutoff of like we're done with this conversation can sometimes be a lfesaver in like just in a situation.

Oh dude, you don't even know. There's so many times like I feel like I'm all right with having like having a conversation, but starting it and ending it are like my nightmareson I know, because I never know how to end it. Just having like the natural cutoff of like we're done with this conversation can sometimes be a lfesaver in like just in a situation.

Right right, I'm very I got a weird thing socially where like some some times I truly feel like I'll I'll be out some nights or like you know, doing this podcast or like whatever, I'll be out some nights. And sometimes I'm like, dude, I'm like a fucking genius. Like I feel like I can talk to anyone. I feel like I can hold a conversation great. I feel like I can. I've been like, like, i I'll like learn how to end conversations gracefully by just like citing you. I think I think the key to all of Like sometimes I'm like like that and I'm like, dude, I'm like I'm like butter today. And the other times I'm like, oh man, I'm like whacked out right now. I can't do any of that, And it goes It goes back to the beginning of the conversation we were having about the variables and the cocktail that needs to be creating, not the you know, alcohol, but like the cocktail that needs to be created of different variables to get to that point. What were you gonna say?

Right right, I'm very I got a weird thing socially where like some some times I truly feel like I'll I'll be out some nights or like you know, doing this podcast or like whatever, I'll be out some nights.

What were you gonna say?

I do just think the exact same thing. Like it. It feels like luck. Sometimes it feels like, oh, I just woke up in the day where I'm able to just be on and you know, have this conversation and you know, move in in and out like it's nothing. And there are times where I'm like I'm slipping over every single word that comes out of my mouth, and the ability to make friends today is just non existent.

I do just think the exact same thing. Like it. It feels like luck.

And there are times where I'm like I'm slipping over every single word that comes out of my mouth, and the ability to make friends today is just non existent.

You know, there's one I was watching some stupid YouTube video or I guess it wasn't stupid because it was I thinking about it and it was actually smart and not stupid at all. But what anyway, it said something like like like socially, just start meaning like meaning me meaning oh no, no, no, not start. I'm sorry, starts the wrong word. Go first is the right word. Like if you're like add a fucking thing or whatever, and everyone's being weird and no one's talking to each other, or even if people are talking to each other, like go be the first one to be like, hey, how's it going. What are you guys doing? Hey, my name is whatever, or like if you walk by someone on the street, like go first to smile and wave. You know, if if you're having a conversation and you don't necessarily know how to end it, go first and being like, well, hey man, it was nice to meet you, and I'll see you around the universe, you know, just like h like realize that in actually, weirdly, in every single social situation, you always have the power to like do that, to go first in whatever, whether it's wanting to talk to somebody or wanting to not talk to somebody or wanting to feel connected in some way like that. When that kind of hit me, I'm like, oh, I should just always go first.

You know, there's one I was watching some stupid YouTube video or I guess it wasn't stupid because it was I thinking about it and it was actually smart and not stupid at all.

When that kind of hit me, I'm like, oh, I should just always go first.

Mm.

Mm.

So let's say, like you're at a place you want to talk to somebody you don't know, you don't know them, Do you just go up and talk to them? Because for me personally, I just try to think of the weirdest thing I could point out that's going on around me and then try to like create a conversation off of that. Do you do something like that or you just see?

So let's say, like you're at a place you want to talk to somebody you don't know, you don't know them, Do you just go up and talk to them? Because for me personally, I just try to think of the weirdest thing I could point out that's going on around me and then try to like create a conversation off of that. Do you do something like that or you just see?

I like that. I like that because it's a great litmus test, right because if you go up to somebody and you say something weird there, if that person is you know, keeps the ball rolling with you, yes, and you that's a great person to talk to. That's the person you want to be in a conversation with. But the person goes, what what do you fucking Oh? I don't really get it. Then you're like, great, I don't have any interest in being in a conversation with this person anyway, So yeah, you know, that's that's the way to do it. What do I do in that situation? It depends sometimes, Like I went out the other I'm trying to like, I have this I have this thing, like I need to leave my fucking house every day or else I go insane. And I there's this venue around town that I wanted to go to. I just wanted to check it out and see what's going on. So I just I just went and they were having like a little fundraiser party for an indie film that someone working at the venue was making, and so I just started I was just you know, it was it was kind of an easy thing to uh, you know, go up to somebody and be like, hey, what do you have something to do with the film, and you know, then we just start talking from there. And I also, I'm also late recently, I've gotten pretty good as well at recognizing with recognizing when somebody doesn't want to be talking to me and accepting that and moving on. It's very It's it's an important skill to learn whether or not somebody wants to talk to you, because if someone if you're engaged in a conversation and you're asking someone question. If here's the key, if someone wants to be talking to you, they will ask, they'll let you know, they'll fucking let you go, they'll ask you questions back, they'll be like oh what or like, you know whatever. But if someone does not want to be talking to you, they will just be giving you nothing. And if someone's if you're talking to somebody and they're giving you nothing and they don't want to talk to you, there is something graceful about being just like all right, well, good to see you.

I like that. I like that because it's a great litmus test, right because if you go up to somebody and you say something weird there, if that person is you know, keeps the ball rolling with you, yes, and you that's a great person to talk to. That's the person you want to be in a conversation with. But the person goes, what what do you fucking Oh? I don't really get it. Then you're like, great, I don't have any interest in being in a conversation with this person anyway, So yeah, you know, that's that's the way to do it. What do I do in that situation? It depends sometimes, Like I went out the other I'm trying to like, I have this I have this thing, like I need to leave my fucking house every day or else I go insane.

And if someone's if you're talking to somebody and they're giving you nothing and they don't want to talk to you, there is something graceful about being just like all right, well, good to see you.

Right one nd. And I feel like there's a decent ont of like social situations where uh like and also just like if it doesn't go like a one hundred percent perfect like just not letting it ruin the rest of your time at that event and just like all right, well that was what it was and let's move on. Uh is also like decently important to you know, like ensuring that you're the rest of your night go as well.

Right one nd. And I feel like there's a decent ont of like social situations where uh like and also just like if it doesn't go like a one hundred percent perfect like just not letting it ruin the rest of your time at that event and just like all right, well that was what it was and let's move on. Uh is also like decently important to you know, like ensuring that you're the rest of your night go as well.

All this all this fucking shit is in your fucking brain. It's all in your mind, I know, the confident and whatever you know, and.

All this all this fucking shit is in your fucking brain. It's all in your mind, I know, the confident and whatever you know, and.

The best play the game of the conference is just not like just doing it, which is you know, easier said than done. But you know, just like with like I heard somebody like describe it as like working out. Uh yeah, you know, if it's not if it's not a muscle you flex constantly. You're gonna struggle with it, but the more you do it, the more it will come natural.

You're gonna struggle with it, but the more you do it, the more it will come natural.

Yeah, totally. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you if you hold yourself up for too long or you stay alone for too long, you like you just forget how to talk to people. Same thing as like being out of the gym for too long, you know, and then the other consequentially, Right, if you get used to going up to you know, you're at a party, like hey, what if a is you know, uh, you get better at doing that, and you get better at kind of like handling the rejection of you know again that moment when you realize that somebody just doesn't want to talk to you.

Yeah, totally. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you if you hold yourself up for too long or you stay alone for too long, you like you just forget how to talk to people. Same thing as like being out of the gym for too long, you know, and then the other consequentially, Right, if you get used to going up to you know, you're at a party, like hey, what if a is you know, uh, you get better at doing that, and you get better at kind of like handling the rejection of you know again that moment when you realize that somebody just doesn't want to talk to you.

Yeah. Now that being said, a good night alone. I don't just like pretending like the world doesn't exist every once in a while, nothing better.

Yeah. Now that being said, a good night alone. I don't just like pretending like the world doesn't exist every once in a while, nothing better.

I Uh, I did that last night. I normally I try to, like I go on fucking meet up and I go on uh uh all them. I'm on all these email lists of like stuff to do, and I try to just go out and just be out of my house because I just I can't. I don't like staying you know, home and with my thoughts. But yesterday I did that and it actually was pretty nice. I have this thing where I think because on the podcast I have all these like, uh kind of more esoteric conversations about life, and you know, uh, I get a Oh lately at least, I've been getting very existential and talking about brain stuff, and I just whatever the fuck. My favorite fucking thing is I want to watch I just want to watch something that has nothing to do with the world or the brain or whatever. Like yesterday I just sat on the couch and I watched an hour long video ranking all of the Warrio games.

I Uh, I did that last night. I normally I try to, like I go on fucking meet up and I go on uh uh all them. I'm on all these email lists of like stuff to do, and I try to just go out and just be out of my house because I just I can't. I don't like staying you know, home and with my thoughts.

Hell yeah, I.

Hell yeah, I.

Was like, this is exactly what I need in my face right now, is not I don't want to read the news. I don't want to you know, some stupid psychology video about why you know your brain whatever. Just let's rank the Warrio games. I mean, that's what's great about video games is a deep sense of escapism.

Was like, this is exactly what I need in my face right now, is not I don't want to read the news. I don't want to you know, some stupid psychology video about why you know your brain whatever. Just let's rank the Warrio games. I mean, that's what's great about video games is a deep sense of escapism.

And like.

And like.

I've heard you talk before about like escapism and stuff like that, and you know, sometimes it's used, and I think escapism personally is like super necessary, like for some parts of the day just to like forget about, you know, things existing and just doing something that like you just just enjoy and just uh like I don't want to see like mentally fuck off, but almost like mentally fuck off because like you know, life is short, Uh, I don't you don't need to be spending the whole time like learning things. As much as I love learning, I love learning, but like sometimes just mentally fucking off. It's just beautiful. I do it at least for like an hour a day.

I've heard you talk before about like escapism and stuff like that, and you know, sometimes it's used, and I think escapism personally is like super necessary, like for some parts of the day just to like forget about, you know, things existing and just doing something that like you just just enjoy and just uh like I don't want to see like mentally fuck off, but almost like mentally fuck off because like you know, life is short, Uh, I don't you don't need to be spending the whole time like learning things. As much as I love learning, I love learning, but like sometimes just mentally fucking off. It's just beautiful. I do it at least for like an hour a day.

Yeah, to just turn the brain off mentally, I think there's a bad. Yeah, there's gotta be a good there's a good balance. You don't want to you don't want to escape too much that you're far gone and you have forgot how to talk to people. But then also if you stress your f and I do. I do this a lot, stress yourself out so much about like existing in the real world and trying to like make something of yourself in the real world and trying to you know, push forward. You just you just stress out and you spiral. See this is good. This's got to be a fucking h good balance of that. I guess that's the Yeah, that's my balance is trying to go out, trying to talk to people, trying to do things, trying to be a human being and then uh being like all right, I I uh, I have stressed myself out too much. I'm gonna watch ranking all the Yoshi. I'm gonna I'm gonna watch this fucking uh YouTube video about the history of the virtual boy.

Yeah, to just turn the brain off mentally, I think there's a bad. Yeah, there's gotta be a good there's a good balance. You don't want to you don't want to escape too much that you're far gone and you have forgot how to talk to people. But then also if you stress your f and I do.

I'm gonna watch ranking all the Yoshi. I'm gonna I'm gonna watch this fucking uh YouTube video about the history of the virtual boy.

Now with a video with where they're ranking uh the Warrio games. Did you did you have like a firm opinion on it or were you there like just to learn? Like were you did you hear his number one ranking and you're like, fuck, yeah, you nailed it, or you're like you're full of shit, you don't know anything.

Like were you did you hear his number one ranking and you're like, fuck, yeah, you nailed it, or you're like you're full of shit, you don't know anything.

I was a big I'm a big fan of uh oh, warrior Ware Touched. I want to say, was he ranked all the games with Warrio in them, so he hed cross pollinated the Warrior Were games and the Warrior Land games, and which is a bit of is you know? I mean, I guess they're all warrior games, but I think I think Warriorwear Touched was at the top of at least his warrior ware list, and that I agree with. But I'm biased because I grew up with It's what's your what's your name again? Tony?

I think is like getting your baseline of happiness down to that, right, you can either have you can either you can either get yourself to externally meet your internal requirements for happiness, even if they're a fucking lot, or you can just lower the bar to the ground and be like, all I need in my life is to breathe. But that's hard. You know that's hard, right, Neither do I not a lot?

You know they're doing good? I think, uh, I think a few more minutes won't really kill them, because it's gonna be a little more lengthy process. To get them out. So I'm just gonna let him be for a bit. But I totally know what you mean. And I went to this workout class today and the instructor he's like this really old guy, but uh, the energy he had. He's like, all right, we're going yes, yes, baby, go oh, get to get a little bit lower perfect. Yeah, And he's running around like enthused, and and I was like, man, like, he came to be the coach today. Sometimes you have a workout coach and they're just really like they could care less about what's going on. You can tell, but that guy was like super into it. And and he was older, probably one of the older coaches I've had. But it was really cool. Also, I I've been following you for a little bit, as in, like, I know you guys are walking around Japan watching their live stream a little bit because I'm so enthused about Yeah, I'm so dused about traveling. And bro, I'm about to go to Hawaii on my first solo trip next week.

Yeah, I'm really I can't wait because I've traveled a lot since I was younger, but it was always to a destination or like to a family member, Like like a destination is in like, oh, I'm going to this festival, like I'm not going to explore the city or whatever, like, and I'm usually with a group of friends. So this is like the first time I'm going just just because And it was so cheap dude too, so I'm excited. And of course I'm going through like a little breakup, and that's just of course like helping me, you know, blossom, because I love I've always loved traveling, and you know, like there's sometimes when you have a person and they're they're I don't know, Like Mix was a little more conservative as far as like, uh, being able to spend anything on anything, so it was kind of like a guilt trip if I wanted to go somewhere, like I had to front for both of us and then he paid me back later and it's kind of like freeing just like hey, I want to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to meet people, and this is like the start of a new end, new chapter. So it's great. What's the favor like, what's your favorite place that you've traveled like out of the US.

What's the favor like, what's your favorite place that you've traveled like out of the US.

My two favorite cities out of the US are Amsterdam and Tokyo. Uh. Amsterdam's great. Amsterdam's got this hostel called the Flying Pig that was one of the first hostels I stayed in when I was doing like so travel stuff. And it's cool because yeah, they have like a bar and they're very like, you know, social hostile. And then I also there's I don't know if it's still around, but there's a hostel in Amsterdam called Cocoa Mama, and that one's a little bit more like chill vibes, like a communal living room. People are playing board games and watching TV and stuff. That's one of the really cool things about like hostels is that they have like varying vibes. Like if you want to go meet a bunch of strangers and go out and get fucked up and you know, do all that stuff, there's places where you can go do that. And then if you just want to chill and play board games as places to do that too. Yeah, it's a cool. It's a cool scene. I really like if you're if you're like young and you're out of college, you have a gap or whatever, or you just have no fucking idea what you're doing. I highly recommend given that shit a shot because it's also like you said, it's like it's a really cheap and fun way to travel.
