Balancing Nostalgia with Modern Marvels and Social Challenges
Remember the days when life seemed simpler, and time didn't fly by quite so fast? Or, are you more excited about the cutting-edge technology that makes our leisure time even more enjoyable? Our latest episode explores this fascinating duality. We reminisce about the simplicity of the past while celebrating the wonders of modern advancements like the Steam Deck. Kids, we encourage you to savor your childhood moments! Meanwhile, adults, we delve into the overwhelming abundance of choices we face today, such as the explosion of coffee shops, and how to strike a balance between appreciating our past and embracing our future.
Ever feel drained after a social event or struggle with navigating humor in today's world? You're not alone. We discuss the challenges of social interactions, the need to recharge, and the awkwardness of forced activities like golfing with colleagues. Family game nights can be a battlefield of competitiveness and rule-bending, leading to frustration. We wrap up with an honest conversation about the complexities of dark humor in our sensitive society, the impact of cancel culture, and how these shifts have changed the way we joke. Plus, we highly recommend checking out "Tulsa King" for a show that navigates these changes masterfully. Tune in for a rich discussion filled with personal insights and cultural reflections.

Turning off normal human male mode. Switching to dad mode. Welcome in to dad mode With your hosts Bearded, Nova and Morph.
Speaker 2:Shit's always changing. It is always changing. I can't believe how I can't. 25 years, it goes so fast.
Speaker 3:Time goes fast. You know that's your topic in itself. Time goes fast. It does go fast, and I am constantly stuck in the past thinking about how things were or how things should have been, or then it even. I don't know if you get the sense that you think of something and then by the time you react to it, it's it's months later it's been me lately.
Speaker 2:It's been me and I'm trying to adapt, so go ahead guys.
Speaker 3:I said I'm trying to keep up with it. I'm not, but I'm trying to right on the flip side.
Speaker 2:Like time goes fast for me, like I don't realize, like we were talking earlier, like the matrix was 25 years ago. I can't believe that, but it's true, like. But my kids, like, they're like you know. You say, hey, we can do this thing in three months. That's so far from no. No, it's, it's not three months. I could do that with my eyes closed, like it's not. Or they can't wait to grow up and it's like, why? Like there's nothing. There's a lot of shitty things that happen when you're being a kid. It's usually the best time of your life. You have no responsibilities and everybody loves you.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, I'm constantly saying that to the kids. At the moment, it's like I want to do this and that I'm like, no, just enjoy where you are. Enjoy, enjoy where you are, because you're gonna regret saying these things in a few years. So I'm gonna like change time bits and pieces. I want to. I want to get a stream deck. I feel like I'm at an age now that I want to get a stream deck, because I don't have time to like come from the lounge up to here to play games. And it has dawned on me because Friday night, I'm doing a stream. It's going great, yep, and playing an indie game with a couple of friends. We're all having fun.
Speaker 3:Next thing, you know, one friend goes offline. He hops back on in a different account. We didn't realize what was going on. Turns out, he had jumped from his PC to his rog ally, which is just like a steam deck. Yeah, and he responds I didn't feel like sitting at the desk. I'm laying in bed playing. I'm like jeez, son of a bitch, you've unlocked it. You've unlocked something in me, though, and I've seen it. He came and handed me this device months ago. This is why we're talking about time and sets Months ago. I'm catching up. He's like here, have a feel of this. I'm like, oh my God, why did you give me this Now? I want this in my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was six months ago. Six months ago. It was only just caught up to me again after Friday and him mentioning that.
Speaker 2:I'm like that's right, I was gonna buy a steam deck, so I actually put a deposit on it when it was first announced and I didn't mind buying it because I convinced myself that I would never need it, I would never use it. But just the other day I bought one of those backbone things to put your phone in. You can play I actually got around to finish setting it up, but because I realized when I'm in the car and I'm not driving, I want to play Call of Duty, I want to play games.
Speaker 3:Hasn't this time, in a sense, gotten better for us? In ways, we're just talking about how you're a kid you don't want to grow up, and that's great. But now, as an adult, I want time to go faster, just so I can get these new things to make my life a little bit more easier in a sense. But I'm excited. I've got about 40 messages out of facebook at the moment on marketplace, for scheme decks and all that that I'm trying to hunt because I'm dodging fucking scammers left, right and center, trying to figure out what's a real ad, what's a fake ad. I just message them all and then wait for the response. Basically, yeah, but I'm excited for that. Like, come on, give someone, someone respond and say, yes, you know, here's a, here's a location to pick up, and I'm in my car, you know, throwing money at them. That's something that time has given me that I'm excited for.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but then there's a lot of things you know, like we're at the shops yesterday and I'm walking around, I'm like why can't I just go back to the other? You know, years ago, when I was simple, so many different shops, so many different things you know, I went, we got coffee at starbucks while we're there and by the time I got the coffee left starbucks and we started walking through the mall, I went through five other places that sold coffee within like 20 minutes. 20 minutes, that's way too much coffee, in a sense.
Speaker 2:Like well, you got coffee each of those places no, I didn't.
Speaker 3:I didn't. I got the big, the big cup from big latte from starbucks. But I'm just where we in a sense that we need so many coffee shops. As a kid, there wasn't this many coffee shops. You know that the shops, the shop selection was a lot more minimum, a lot more simpler for me. I didn't need this and that you know what I mean. That's where I'm getting at with what's going on here. I don't like it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yep, it's funny. So every time my kid says, yeah, I want to grow up, I'm like I want to be back, I want to be a kid again. You go to school, you come home, you play video games and then you play on your phone.
Speaker 3:Someone makes dinner for you and does your laundry, and then you go to bed like yeah, yeah, but is there things that you don't like nowadays, that you'd rather go back to, I guess, like not just the lifestyle as it, but like things that we've gotten over time that you wish we didn't have anymore.
Speaker 2:So this will make me sound old, but like I do think. Too much screen, you know what I mean. Like screen time for kids like they do less, like I played outside a lot more than my kids ever do, you know. Yes, for kids like they do less, like I played outside a lot more than my kids ever do, you know. Yes, I feel like I used, I had to use my imagination a bit more because everything wasn't readily available for me, you know.
Speaker 2:Um yeah I feel like that helped. That helped my creativity and my innovation as I got to be an adult. I don't. I think like nowadays it's a little bit too easy to just look something up you know and and not have to figure it out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I find that, like the kids, they come home after school and it's like through the door, hi, and then into the rooms and then I'll see them. You know lunch, dinner, whatever time it is, you know school holidays now I might not see some until lunchtime and then they're out, say good morning, then they go back in the room, then I'll see him again at dinner. Like it's the. The sense of going out exploring has has gone. I'm hoping in a sense with a 16 year old now that her friends are starting to get car licenses and that that they might ask. I know she's asked to go places and I guess that's a topic for another day how far do you let your child go, at what age, I guess? But you know she's asked to go some places and I'm like meh. But she went to the city the other day. My wife works in the city. She went in with my wife and her friend and I think I've talked about it before.
Speaker 3:In Brisbane we've got got south bank which is like one half is one half. The rivers like park and beach type of like it's artificial beach but it's along the river so you can swim these lagoons and then there's water. There's lots of museums, science, building, heaps of stuff to do in the city. You can go across the, you know, go across the river back to where all the shopping is and you've got all the high-end shops and heaps of stuff to do in the city. You can go across the, you know, go across the river back to where all the shopping is and you've got all the high-end shops and heaps. You know, eight-story malls and heaps of. You know heaps of stuff to do movies, food, botanical gardens. Her and her friend were done with like two hours of being in the city. They went over to south bank, laid on the beach, didn't swim because they thought there was too many people to be bothered swimming, so just lay there for a little bit, add some food and then kind of were done. And she, you know I got home. They told me this and I well did.
Speaker 3:You go up and down the mall because the mall, like the queen street mall itself, is a big street. It's only foot traffic there's. You know, malls and buildings either side. You can go in jewelry. You know lots of heaps to do, especially for a girl. A boy is probably, you know, not as much. Boys are streamlining shoppers. You know what I mean, but girls, they love looking at all that girly girls love looking at all that clothes and fashion and that keeps to do there. Oh, yeah, we did that, we did it all. I'm like, no, you did, you couldn't have, you couldn't have. Yeah, you couldn't have. And I feel like that's, that's a part of the screen time online shopping. I don't know what it is, but it's just.
Speaker 3:She couldn't spend a whole day in the city as a teenager exploring when they haven't really been around, whereas the sense I spent many of days and nights and that way before I was an adult in the city, arcades, you know we'd be in arcades for half a day.
Speaker 3:I could be in an arcade for eight hours in a day, but in that time we'd still stop and the crew from the arcade would go down the road and we'd all go to this chinese noodle bar that was down the road jackpot noodles we'd get like wonton noodle soup for like five bucks it was, and a drink, and you know I could spend a day there, but she was bored within, and that's within, like a block.
Speaker 3:I could spend a day within a block of the city. She had the whole city and she was bored within two, two hours, yeah, and that's what I think it's just. You know, backwards, like, especially at the moment, we got 50 cent fares everywhere, so that's all. Public transport for us is 50 cents, no matter where you're going. Wow, really great. You know, sense of sense of exploration there for kids like especially her age. We trusted to get on a train and that she did want to go to the beach, which was like a two-hour train each way, and I said, no, that's a bit too far, but still in a sense of where she could go within, you know, within an hour, on a train, there's heaps of places. Or bus, you know there's heaps of places they can come and do and things like no interest.
Speaker 2:You know part, part mini, you know mini golf, pop, there's just so many things kids can do, but it's just nah, yeah yeah, my, my kids are are the same way, where they don't like, if we're gonna, hey, let's go to this beach or go to the park, I just want to stay home and what? Play games or look on my phone. You know it's weird to me because I wanted to go places and do things and experience things. And yeah, like, even when they're talking to their friends, like their friends don't come over to our house, they talk to them online or they talk to them when they're playing fortnite or whatever. Yeah, it's like, don't you want to see them like and interact with them in person?
Speaker 3:you know, in a sense I'm gonna put it. You know, I played a little bit devils advocate here. As an adult, you want to see a lot of people a lot of time anymore.
Speaker 2:No, but I'm, I'm a introvert so I spent years being social.
Speaker 3:I don't need that in my life anymore yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 2:I don't like people. So I mean, that's, that's a bit different. Or maybe that's why they do that, because they're taking after me. It's a learned habit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's what I'm trying to think, in a way, like there's a sense of this I don't like to do a lot of things anymore or go a lot of places, and maybe that's the children just mimicking us.
Speaker 2:As parents as well try to do what we do, I guess if they mimic me as they grow up, then I don't worry about them at all, because my boy, the older one, will come on Saturdays. I don't like to get up if I don't have to get up, so I'll be in my bed playing on the Xbox till like 11am and he'll come up and be like Dad, are you ever going to get out of bed? And I'm like no, I don't have to, I'm going to stay right here. And if he starts mimicking that habit of just hanging around and playing games and not getting in trouble, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3:that's that's yeah, I go back to the other week when we're talking about online bullying and stuff. In a sense, my kids ain't really doing that much online. They're not gaming, they're not doing anything, they're in their room, they're kind of desensitized, not desensitized, shelled in a sense, to a lot of the the things that are going on anyway because of this lifestyle choice that they've done. And my wife wife says you know, my wife's very introverted, she doesn't like doing things. In the best of days I'll be even talking to people, including myself, but she, you know that's. I think the girls copy her a lot in a sense. So that way I'm like trying to push them to be a bit more extrovert.
Speaker 3:I was extrovert, I do like people. I can handle that, but at the same time I could. It's like a. It's like I'm like a candle. I can go out there and do it for so long until I'm burnt out, and then I'm like, nope, going back inside, I'm going back to my cave, but I want to talk to you guys. Anyone, for now you can catch me online gaming or something like that yeah, yeah, yeah, I I'm the same.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, I was never an extrovert, but I can play an extrovert if I have to in public.
Speaker 3:That's what that's that's what I think I mean is the best way to put it.
Speaker 2:I can play an excellent extrovert in a sense that is comically believable like I'm the most social person in the world if I have to, and then quite simply shut that off yeah, and like if, when I go to social events for work or whatever, I will make the rounds, I'll say hi to people, I'll make it my presence known and then I will quietly sneak out the back and go home I don't even really do that, oh really.
Speaker 3:No, I might say hello to the people I feel comfortable saying hello to, and then a lot of people I'll just avoid contact with for the sake, because I don't really know you, so I don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, my boss at work just got into golf because you know he wants to play with the senior leaders, you know, and like, mingle with them, and he was like suggesting that I should play golf. You know, and like, yeah, mingle with them. And he was like suggesting that I should play golf. I'm like I'm thinking I have no desire to spend time with you outside here anyone.
Speaker 3:No, no, I'm good dude, I'm good I go golf clubs but I don't play golf. I used to play golf quite frequently with friends, but they're all everyone's moved distance. We're all spread apart. We can't play golf like that anymore. We haven't done that in you know, since basically the start of children 10 years plus now and I got a set of golf clubs I brought. Another guy didn't buy. Yeah, I did buy a set of golf clubs. I've gotten cheap around the garage. I haven't done anything with them yet. I think I brought it in the in the idea of liking, the idea of doing something, but this didn't do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I don't see myself getting into golf. It wasn't a thing for me growing up and I don't know enough people now that really do it and, like you know, it's not something I really want to do.
Speaker 3:Golf to me as an adult, as a parent, as a dad, it's more of a social interaction, not really the sport as such.
Speaker 3:But if I'm going out with a couple other dads because it's not a short game Right, you know what I mean, and it doesn't have to be alcoholic fuel, but it's not a short game so you could be going out there to play just nine holes because you'd still be gone three, four hours.
Speaker 3:Right, play just nine holes because you still be gone three, four hours. Right. If you're walking and it's just a social chat and walk, it's like a private walk. I guess would be the best way to put it right with friends, where you know you're not going to be bothered because you guys have all paid money to to go into a park to walk, where no children and partners and anyone else can run up to you and annoy you because, yeah, that's a better way to look at it. If you're looking at it purely as a social aspect, great, it's a great sport for that, because you can do that in a more comfortable way, rather than, say, baseball or football where you're running and you're a lot more physically involved in the moment. I guess would be the best way to put it, and that's definitely not me.
Speaker 2:In any way, I'm not a physical person anymore yeah, I would say that's probably why I don't play golf, because I don't want to hang out with a lot of people. I just I have a really one of my really good friends who lives close, which is odd because most of my friends live hours away. Um, yeah, he loves golf. He's like you want to go. I'm like, no, no, I appreciate you, man, but no, I'm not. No, I don't know. We can go to a bar and drink, that's cool, you know, but no, I don't want to go play golf, you crack it one day.
Speaker 3:One day you will. It's not too bad.
Speaker 2:Maybe just do top golf or something like that so one thing I don't do, and we talked about this a while, a long time. We were talking about, like, what are good games to play, like with your family, and you were mentioning the golf game, golf of Friends. Right, yeah, yeah, it's like a mini golf kind of thing, yeah, and so mini golf, by the way, that is something we don't do as a family anymore, because, right, yeah, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, more because rage.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, yeah, and yeah, somebody is cheating. When one boy can't make it, he's throwing his club. He's just oh, my it's, we don't. We don't golf anymore, mini golf anymore, no, we're in the same sense.
Speaker 3:Actually, us as a family don't do many games as as a whole, because we have one child who loves to bend the rules and cheat and make up her own shit every time, and I just refuse to play anything anymore that revolves around her, as a simple fact that I don't want to get frustrated. Yeah, anymore. We played a game of scrabble and that turned into rage with my wife and her once, yeah, because she was the oldest and couldn't spell more than a three-letter word, and it was so frustrating to my wife that, yeah, and even I think that was the last game I played. I'm like you know what this is. This has proved to me as a whole we can't play these games as a family and I'm stepping out, I'm accepting the fact that we will never be a family that plays board games. I'm happy with that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've got a card game somewhere here in this room. There's a card game in this room that I brought in the sense that I was going to play with friends and that, and I thought I could play it with the kids, and I really do want to, but at the same sense, I like my sanity and it sounds like a great game and I feel like I'm gonna love it and enjoy it, and but I don't want to be pissed off trying to explain it.
Speaker 2:We don't play a lot of games board games for the same reason, and in between sessions, we, you, you tend to forget how bad it was. You're like you know what, let's play a game. I don't know why we don't play a lot, and then you start playing and all the shit happens. You're like that's why we don't play that. Yeah, that's why we don't do this, because you know family time is important. But it's great, more better. It's better conceptually than it is, you know, doing it sometimes.
Speaker 3:The one that I've actually been intrigued in playing is something like maybe a Jackbox on the TV, like I'm thinking the possibility of an electronic board game, even Monopoly, as an electronic game where people can't cheat, you know, I mean you can't, you can't cheat, you can't. There's only so much you can do. It's very controlled by the game, which kind of takes that sense away of the kids spacking it in it. I feel like it might be an easy way to explain a game without losing it myself, like it's. It's something I've always thought about in my head. Like you know, this is something we should try or something I should propose, but I haven't yet yeah, one of the problems too is is all my fault.
Speaker 2:I'm very competitive and you know when we play the game kids getting upset my wife would be like let him win. I'm like no, not happening. Like we lost with like mini golf the little one was beside himself because it wasn't going well. It started out a bit of luck and my wife's like let him win. I'm like no. So she just threw the game like she was missing putts left and right, just like to make sure that she lost. But like I, I refuse to do it.
Speaker 3:I just I, I can't I you know, now we've spoken about this and I'm thinking about it more, I am actually going to try a game on the tv with the kids, possibly this afternoon now, okay, and I will feedback on whether it is a successful game for anyone to attempt like, if it works out, are you gonna let them win?
Speaker 2:are you gonna? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3:no, no, I can't, I can't let them win, because that's the part of the game you know it's whatever's one that happens, that happens. But yeah, I will try a different sense of games with the kids more electronic version, you know, tv friendly screen time, heavy screen time where they have to use their phones or something, and I'll report back if that was a win, if it was fun, if, if we had an enjoyable time if you guys listen to this, let us know, before he reports back, how you think it's gonna go.
Speaker 2:I'd love I have an idea how I think it's gonna go, but I'm gonna hold that back. I don't wanna now.
Speaker 3:Now think about it more when I do play these games. I've always played them with friends, like we might have drinks and drinks and snacks night. So at a friend's place and we'll with your kids, yeah, and very like you know, toned down. What I find hilarious to write and draw in these moments is obviously not going to fly with children and my wife yeah, I, I'm dirty when I play jackbox.
Speaker 2:I'm horribly dirty.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm borderline. I'm pretty much cancel, cancel culture when I play them games. I shouldn't be. I don't play them online for that reason I played it.
Speaker 2:I've done jackbox on when I was streaming. Did you ever play with me? No, I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have. Okay, I definitely wouldn't have. Yeah, they were. It starts off okay like normal in the first game and then it's just dirty joke after dirty joke and then when you get into the one where you have to draw stuff, oh my god.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I did play him on my stream once and then I had a lot of people go. You can't say that. I'm like, oh, I can't say that, what's wrong with that? And then and then I've been followed. You know, incorrect, politically incorrect in ways or something like that. Nowadays, you know, back to the start of this episode, age I haven't adapted with time with, so obviously some things and things I thought were cool were apparently not cool anymore. You can't say those things. So there's a lot. There's a lot that I can't say anymore. Yeah, actually, I'm going to use that part of the topic right now to switch. Segue it a little bit.
Speaker 3:Do you ever say stuff in a sense of a joke but you say a really serious way to your wife and your wife doesn't know if you are serious or you are joking, because, because I say things a lot to my wife and I feel like she actually believes half the things that I say, and I'm saying it without a thing and just looking direct into her eyes, I'm trying to figure out how to say this on this without making it sound horrible.
Speaker 3:We're going to say two men sexually and I describe the action as medieval jousting, and that's how it works and she thought that's actually what I thought happened. I kept that joke going for like a year, but that's that's that's my sense where I'm. I'm having a joke. I know seriousness, I'm not making fun of people. I just know I can say this to her without upsetting her, and it actually does upset her. So in a way it drives me to say more of it or expand on my stupid thoughts. That I know ain't real, but I'll make it sound more stupider and draw it out further and further as it keeps going.
Speaker 2:Yeah, one thing I'll say is, when I find out that something I did you don't like, I will do it more, so don't let on. Yes, don't like it, because I will, just I will jump all over it. But yeah, I make a lot of jokes that are well sarcastic is obvious, but like sarcastic is the best way to put it a lot of dark jokes, a lot of morbid things, definitely some inappropriate shit. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2:I try to make it sound like a joke. It's like opposite I make it sound like a joke, but then they take it seriously.
Speaker 3:I'm like I'm just joking, like now the way my daughter had a friend over and she goes, don't worry, my dad's just racist, I am not racist like I. And then, like my wife has to go like she says that to her work, where she works, she goes. Oh, my husband can come across really racist and like, oh, okay, and they don't. They don't understand that I'm indigenous and like I'm also native american, like buchang, native american, very indigenous australian. My wife is indian well, she's half indian. Like we're very dark in a sense in the family, except for one child is extremely white. And but the jokes that I come out with I'll say something horribly horrible against my own indigenous culture and it's like, oh, you're racist. It's like, no, I can't be racist. I'm making fun of myself here. Like I'm making fun of myself and my own indigenous culture. And it's like, oh, you're racist. It's like, no, I can't be racist, I'm making fun of myself here. Like I'm making fun of myself and my own people here. That's where my daughter comes. She'll say that to friends. She goes oh, my dad, my friends think you're just like this funny old racist person. I'm like I'm not racist, I'm not this, or you're a phobic or something. I'm like no, like something happened.
Speaker 3:I had to explain to the family. I said something and they were oh, I had to explain that I have trans friends. I have multiple trans friends and and and gay friends. Like, I'm definitely not homophobic or transphobic, I have plenty. You know, we have mutual trans friends and I have full respect for them and I will stand up for anyone of any, any community race, of that. But my humor is dark and it sometimes comes across as racist and I say it to people that I think can take it or understand that sense of humor. I'm not. Yeah, yeah, that's that's where I get caught out. Like I had to talk about how one of my daughter's friends is a soul sucker because she's a ginger. She goes I don't understand what you mean. So I have to explain that you know every freckle you got is for each soul you've consumed in your lifetime. It didn't mean I hate her, I just wanted to let her know. That's what I thought about her there.
Speaker 2:It's a joke cancer culture is a big thing nowadays. I'm not saying that people should make jokes. You know, do do stuff if you think it's appropriate around people. You think it's appropriate, yes, well, yeah, just, I guess, just be careful what you say and where you say it. You know, I honestly believe that everyone has these kind of thoughts and jokes in their head and they just don't always say it because people you know you could get yourself in trouble. Nowadays you get yourself in so much trouble. That's changed from when we were younger, like some of the shit they used to say on TV and in movies when we were yeah, you cannot say it now, no, have you watched?
Speaker 3:It's coming up to season two.
Speaker 2:Tulsa King I saw like one episode because I got a preview, but I haven't seen the whole thing.
Speaker 3:It's great like preview but I haven't seen the whole. It's great, I don't mind. If I didn't mind the first season I'm like I'm sorry season but it's his way of adapting to cancel culture into changes and things you can and cannot say in society anymore. It's very much a show about being back in. You know someone who's been, because his character was in prison for a long period of time, then coming out with social media now and you can't say that you can't do that. It's it's. It's his take on someone coming into a world that hasn't had that exposure to change, I guess, over time. But really worth it, really really is worth it I'll see if I can.
Speaker 2:I'll see if I can find a way to watch it. But yes, a lot, a lot of shit has changed. As you know, when you grow up and like you, just gotta, you just gotta kind of roll with it and figure it out, even though it's crazy, when you think of a movie that you love, then you realize it's 25 years old and that means you're, you know, like every now and then I think about oh my, I renew my license again. Oh my god, I've had it for that long, you know, yeah yeah, I was.
Speaker 3:I did that just yesterday. I have to renew my license next month it is and I was looking at the photo going.
Speaker 2:I probably should go get a photo because I have like a lot of hair yeah, well, I'm at a point where I want to keep each license photo because I look better, because I was yeah, yeah, you know, slowly going downhill it's a decline. Yeah, it's like you could have like keep all your license, like you see a time lapse of me just deteriorating.
Speaker 3:It's sad, it's my soul emptying my body Right.
Speaker 2:Like you know, you look at me like you don't think you. You don't really think you look any different. But then you look like an old photo of you, like oh, oh, shit, yeah.
