SHOW NOTES 🔗
TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.169
There's really nothing in this world that's pure.
00:00:08.589 --> 00:00:10.210
Purity is just an idea.
00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:17.019
It's an idea created by people who are trying to sell you stuff to make their products seem better.
00:00:17.289 --> 00:00:22.649
It's used by racist people to make their genes seem better.
00:00:24.739 --> 00:00:25.460
Purebred animals...
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:26.780
banging their cousins.
00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:28.789
Pure blooded royalty...
00:00:29.510 --> 00:00:30.679
banging their sisters.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:33.229
Pretty Gross.
00:00:34.909 --> 00:00:38.659
Nowadays, purity really only means one thing...
00:00:40.369 --> 00:00:58.409
incest, So there's this thing now with ladies streaming video games with their titties out in order to get views and get famous, I guess.
00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:10.680
What's weird about this is if you put everyone in the same room, both the streamer and the audience, and it's a pretty young audience...
00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:16.200
The sheer amount of bone or energy, what honestly suffocate the room.
00:01:17.579 --> 00:01:20.250
It's the same way in the chat of the streamers.
00:01:20.310 --> 00:01:22.109
Just a bunch of like weird comments.
00:01:22.409 --> 00:01:26.159
The streamers banning everybody left and right for saying anything boob related.
00:01:26.161 --> 00:01:27.420
It's like where am I?
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:31.290
And yeah, I looked into it for science.
00:01:37.189 --> 00:01:40.819
If you're trying to grow on Instagram, here's some advice that worked for me.
00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:55.250
If somebody drops you a like you should probably go drop them a like, cause likes, are like the currency of the Instagram economy, a trade, a transaction and plus you might see some dope shit on their page too...
00:01:55.250 --> 00:01:57.799
they liked you, you might like them.
00:01:57.801 --> 00:01:58.700
Nothing wrong with that.
00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:00.469
Nothing wrong with a little inspiration.
00:02:00.471 --> 00:02:06.379
At the end of the day, all you want to say is, hey, I see you like my shit.
00:02:06.381 --> 00:02:07.310
I got some other shit here.
00:02:07.311 --> 00:02:08.389
I think you might also like.
00:02:11.110 --> 00:02:13.150
Growing, changing, moving forward in life.
00:02:13.151 --> 00:02:19.629
Sometimes I look back and go, man, I was such a dumb ass and I'm just, I'm embarrassed of all the dumb shit I did.
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:22.780
But you know, I know that for the most part it's all right.
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.430
People are forgiving in general...
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.189
unless they're douchebags or unless you raped somebody.
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.849
So I realized I didn't know what a Douche bags were like, I didn't know what they look like.
00:02:39.850 --> 00:02:43.990
You know, that thing thats supposed to make vaginas smell good?
00:02:44.110 --> 00:02:45.099
The Feminine Product?
00:02:45.100 --> 00:02:45.250
Yeah.
00:02:45.251 --> 00:02:46.900
I didn't know what it looked like so I googled it.
00:02:48.099 --> 00:02:58.180
But apparently they don't exist because all I've found were backpacks called Douche bags and really, really orange people.
00:03:03.310 --> 00:03:09.370
It seems like almost every culture across the world has a word that they like to end sentences with.
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:20.469
Like in southern California where I live, I find myself using"dude" and"man" at the ends of sentences for no reason.
00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:23.289
Even when there's no dude or man there, it just rolls off the tongue.
00:03:23.290 --> 00:03:24.129
It sounds nice.
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.060
You know Canadians use AYE for the same reason.
00:03:28.870 --> 00:03:30.789
Armenians have two different versions of this.
00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:33.129
Eli and Gor, which both do the same thing.
00:03:33.310 --> 00:03:35.169
It almost means"person" kind of.
00:03:35.530 --> 00:03:37.389
Really what I think is happening is it's music.
00:03:37.419 --> 00:03:43.360
It's like the, it's like a period at the end of the sentence or a note at the end of the melody.
00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:59.500
Hurricanes and typhoons are the same thing and they devastated Japan for centuries, forever basically.
00:03:59.501 --> 00:04:08.860
But when the Mongolian ships were coming across that ocean, that divine wind came through and saved Japan's ass.
00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:12.699
That's what kamikaze means.
00:04:12.700 --> 00:04:17.949
It means"Divine Wind" and it's named after those hurricanes that took out those ships.
00:04:17.951 --> 00:04:19.839
Fucking epic.
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.339
If you're afraid of creating shit because you think it's going to suck...
00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:28.490
it is it is going to suck.
00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:30.490
But everyone sucks in the beginning.
00:04:30.490 --> 00:04:32.620
Everyone's gonna do bad work.
00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:35.560
You just got to keep at it, keep at it.
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.089
It's going to keep getting better, little by little.
00:04:37.091 --> 00:04:40.339
No one remembers the bad work in the beginning for anything, they glorify it.
00:04:40.341 --> 00:04:51.339
There's two kinds of assholes in this world.
00:04:51.490 --> 00:04:56.689
Hot peppers and poisonous berries...
00:04:56.690 --> 00:05:02.410
And I liked the peppers, because the peppers are honest.
00:05:02.411 --> 00:05:07.000
You bite one of those guys, your mouth's going to burn.
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:08.529
It's going to tell you what it is.
00:05:08.531 --> 00:05:11.139
The pepper goes, Yo, this is me.
00:05:11.141 --> 00:05:16.360
Take me as I am or get the fuck Outta here, but this is who I am.
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:16.689
It owns it.
00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:31.810
Unlike the fucking poisonous berry, tastes all sweet, going in, feel good for a few hours and then next thing you know you're bleeding out of your ass.
00:05:39.189 --> 00:05:48.970
There are definitely days where the mistakes of my past weigh a lot more than they used to, and they just dig into my soul all day long.
00:05:48.971 --> 00:05:54.879
It's like I'm having a, I'm having an emotional and mental period.
00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:55.949
It is like a period.
00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:57.759
It's a period of sadness.
00:05:57.761 --> 00:06:04.399
It's like a storm I have to weather, and just like anything else it's becoming a skill.
00:06:05.259 --> 00:06:08.240
The more I do it, the better I get at it.
00:06:09.170 --> 00:06:14.220
Get better at it, at navigating those dark, muddy waters.
00:06:17.779 --> 00:06:22.439
One of the funniest and weirdest insults in Armenian calling somebody a cucumber.
00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:23.069
Cucumber.
00:06:24.149 --> 00:06:29.100
I think it means stupid or bumpy skin or small Dick.
00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:30.329
You take your pick.
00:06:30.331 --> 00:06:33.240
I guess it depends on what kind of part of the world you're in.
00:06:33.389 --> 00:06:36.180
Cause Persian cucumbers are small so it's an insult.
00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:43.889
But American cucumbers are pretty fucking big so I don't think you would have quite the same effect over here.
00:06:43.891 --> 00:06:59.189
Something that kind of mind fucks me on a regular basis is just knowing how easy it is to be like missjudged and misperceived by other people based on how you look, what you're wearing, who you're with, what you're doing.
00:06:59.190 --> 00:07:06.930
So many reasons, you know, cause everyone lives their own life, has their own experiences and associates, different things with different things.
00:07:07.110 --> 00:07:09.990
You know, we're all so different.
00:07:11.370 --> 00:07:26.250
Raised different, live different, our day to day is different and you judge everyone else based on your experiences as if you know, we judge people as if we know for sure who they are and what they're doing.
00:07:26.250 --> 00:07:30.180
I mean, yeah there are certain tells but for the most part we don't know.
00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:30.480
We don't know.
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.000
We just think we do.
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.420
And that's crazy because no one knows your story.
00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:39.990
No one knows where you from, where you've been, where you're going.
00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:45.750
But one thing's for sure, it takes a lot less work to hate someone than it does to put effort into understanding them.
00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:58.470
Dogs are so intense men, everything they do, they intensely protect your fucking house.
00:08:00.089 --> 00:08:04.709
Anything that moves, they can sense it from like a mile away.
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:18.990
And they also love intensely, you know, you leave the house for 10 minutes and it's like you were dead for 10 years man.
00:08:18.990 --> 00:08:20.399
They just explode.
00:08:20.401 --> 00:08:21.540
They don't know how to medium.
00:08:21.540 --> 00:08:39.190
They don't know medium, zero or a hundred with dogs and that's why I love him The same way the tide goes in and out, the same way the sun sets and rises.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:42.730
Our lives are full of blessings and disasters.
00:08:43.870 --> 00:08:47.139
We get the good stuff because there are happy things go our way.
00:08:47.500 --> 00:08:49.720
Then things go south and not so good...
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.899
thats just the way it is.
00:08:52.900 --> 00:08:54.159
It's always going to be that way.
00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:59.889
No matter how good is how comfortable you think can be, no matter how satisfied you are.
00:08:59.890 --> 00:09:12.370
It always changes, and the best skill that you can really learn in this crazy as the world, is being good at adapting to changes.
00:09:12.370 --> 00:09:13.210
Thanks for listening.
00:09:19.150 --> 00:09:21.610
That was episode 35 of Apricot Jams.
00:09:22.149 --> 00:09:26.440
This episode is brought to you by M-Audio because I use their two track mixer for fucking everything.
00:09:26.441 --> 00:09:40.029
I have to record all this stuff on the go cause I'm driving my baby daughter around every day to the babysitter to babysit, grandma to grandma, and this thing fits right in my bag with my laptop, a few cables and a microphone and I'm ready to go.
00:09:40.450 --> 00:09:42.970
Highly recommended for anybody who has to travel and record audio.
00:09:42.971 --> 00:09:45.129
It's been like the best thing ever for me.
00:09:45.130 --> 00:09:47.889
You can find my drawings on Instagram.
00:09:47.890 --> 00:09:54.669
Everything you see on the cover with all the eye drawings n shit, I do those, check them out, and yeah, that's it.
00:09:55.870 --> 00:09:56.200
See you guys later.
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:56.200
:)
