This is an auto-generated speech-to-text transcript of a SE Asia Chronicles Podcast
Speech to text generators are often faulty. We have one that works nearly flawlessly, but it's a web-based service and is a real PITA to use.
The text generated in this case, from this engine, is full of flaws, incorrect words, misspellings and other nonsense. Its value really only lies in providing context for the search engines.
The "Transcript" links take you to the transcript page which hosts all auto-generated written transcripts of the podcasts. Up through episode 8 were done by Adobe's absurd and ludicrous idea of a speech to text generator. It's another pathetic embarrassment to Adobe. Transcripts after that were made by a real transcriber. In so many ways, for so many "products", Adobe can just go suck an egg -- and they just more than doubled their subscription price. It is truly time to just say goodbye to Adobe in all the cases where that's even remotely possible.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Good afternoon from Southeast Asia. Currently Manila. Tomorrow? We don't know.2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Don't know. This bed is too soft. This bed is too hard. This bed is just right.3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Haven't really found one just right yet. After 11 years.4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Okay. The US was too hard and too soft both at the same time.5
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Alright. Okay. This will be episode or volume number 20 of the Southeast Asia podcast.6
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Chronicle Things. As good as it's ever going to get for a name.7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
I don't know why. It's a mental block kind of a thing. I don't know why.8
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:00,000
We are here for the sole purpose of helping you decide.9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Do you want to leave your comfy little country in the West somewhere?10
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
I mean even Germany is the West. You know from here.11
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
I mean hell. You know from here. Russia is the West. China is the West.12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Thailand is the West. You know from here.13
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Do you want to leave there?14
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Leave the wifey and the 2.3 kids and the cat and the...15
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Oh no. Take the cat. You can take the cat. Take the cat.16
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
That's the one thing you can't live without.17
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
If you want to escape the Matrix, can you afford it? We'll talk about that.18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
What are you going to find when you get here? Maybe it's going to be a waste of time.19
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
You know. Don't sell your car right away. I didn't.20
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
I had a whole storage locker full of motorcycles. I kept them all for six months.21
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Because I didn't know at any given moment if I was going back.22
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:09,000
And then finally I just realized with all of his troubles and foibles and problems, it was still better.23
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
That was in Thailand when I first went to Thailand.24
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Okay.25
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
I'm still a little bit under the weather. My voice is not strong.26
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Nothing is strong.27
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
It's from two bad doctors and a crappy diet. Okay.28
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Let that be a lesson to you.29
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Years and years. Years of bad doctors and years of crappy diet.30
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Okay. That'll do it. It's a bad combination.31
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
We'll get the monsoons again. Man, we are really getting nailed.32
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Okay. Now, we started this whole endeavor with a plan of sorts.33
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
And we were kind of sort of following it for the first half a dozen episodes.34
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:05,000
And then what happened was after every episode, way more people than I expected started writing in with all these wacky questions.35
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
And truly about 85% of them were wacky. They were just whacked.36
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
And they got deleted into the corn.37
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:24,000
But the 15% that remains still makes it. Man, I mean, I'm looking at a partial list here. I don't know.38
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
There must be 40 of them on here.39
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Each one requires, you know, a pretty thorough reply explanation.40
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000
So I don't know what we're going to do. We're trying to, you know, crunch through these questions.41
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
And then when they're all gone, hold on, hold on.42
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:54,000
When they're done, we're mostly done, you know, then we'll try to get back to the plan, I guess.43
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Okay. Anyway, we have a new domain that will make it easier to come to these.44
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Now, normally you would come to these by going to stockphotosworldwide.com.45
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:21,000
And by the way, everything is copyright. These and everything else is copyright 2023 by stockphotosworldwide.com.46
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:28,000
If you see them hosted somewhere else, tell us. We'll sue them. We'll send you a third.47
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Okay. I'm not going to elaborate. We will. We'll send you a third of the net proceeds.48
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
We've done it before. Tired of you.49
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Anyway, the new domain, so that you don't have to go to stockphotosworldwide.com and then fish around for the link.50
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:53,000
The new domain is retiresoutheastasia.com.51
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:01,000
No underlines, no dashes, no nothing. Just a simple string. Retire Southeast.52
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Well, it's S-E, you know. Retire Southeast Asia.com.53
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Okay. That'll take you right to this page. Forever.54
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Okay. Or you can go to the RSS feeds. I don't know. I don't know much about them.55
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000
We have never really, you know, tried to develop them or anything.56
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Just do a search. You know, if you like RSS, their audio only, no video.57
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:42,000
They probably stream faster if you have a crappy phone, you know, whatever.58
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
There's not much of a reason that we could ever see to have a video with these.59
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:56,000
We don't have guests or anything. Don't have dancing cats. Although that's a possibility, you know.60
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
So what the hell is there to look at? You know, there's nothing.61
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:07,000
But when we started experimentally doing the video, geez, that hits went up like seven, eight hundred percent.62
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,000
So we thought, what the hell is this? And then we thought, I can't be right.63
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
So for a while we took the videos off, went back to plain audio.64
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Hits went down, but the videos back. Hits went up.65
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000
So I guess we're just stuck with video now forever. I don't know. I don't like it myself.66
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,000
I don't like it, really. It makes it hard to do stuff, you know.67
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Ha ha ha. Whining and whining. OK.68
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:46,000
So here we go. We're going to start fishing our way through these questions.69
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Geez, I'm kind of worried that they're just never going to end.70
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
I mean, I'm not going to do duplicates unless I do it accidentally.71
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
People have good questions.72
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:15,000
The guys, it's mostly guys who come to Southeast Asia, and most of the guys who come to Southeast Asia want to find a girl, either a quick and easy girl or a good girl.73
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:24,000
I don't know. I'm trying to think of what could be in between. There's really nothing. There's good ones and bad ones. OK, period. That's all there is.74
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Most of the guys want to come here and get quick, easy girls right off, first day.75
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:46,000
And they don't really have any plan to do anything with them, although pretty often they get sucked into trying to do something semi-permanent with them.76
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:54,000
But of course, that never, never, never, never works. We've talked about that a lot. We're going to talk about it more.77
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,000
And they figure, well, you know, it'll just take a bunch of quick and easy girls for a while and see how that goes.78
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:09,000
And then, you know, while they're messing around doing that, they'll look for a quote unquote good one for maybe long term marriage or something.79
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Not sure. Whatever. So that's the plan. That's the game plan of a lot of guys.80
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:24,000
This one wants to know what are the ways you can trick girls to see if they really love you?81
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:41,000
OK, now. You can do that. Should you do that? Hell, yes. I used to think that would be wrong.82
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Amoral, immoral. You know, a real relationship is not based on tricking girls, you know, to see what they're really up to.83
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Well, no, it's not based on that. But in order for you to know if you want to even pursue a real relationship, you got to know if they're tricking you first.84
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Here's the story. You know, I had one. No, I have 50. I have 50. I'll tell this one right now.85
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:29,000
I met a girl long time ago, long, long time ago in Thailand. And she was everything I wanted physically.86
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:49,000
I loved her. I thought because I was stupid, I thought that the way she looked somehow magically extended into her soul and her character.87
00:09:49,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Oh, you stupid, stupid, stupid white man. What a dumbass. OK, some of us learn that lesson quicker than others.88
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:11,000
An awful lot of us never learn that lesson. OK, learn it. Learn it. Outside has nothing to do with the inside. Inside has nothing to do with the outside. OK.89
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Suck it up, choke it down. It's the way it is. God, it's one of the hardest things we as guys will ever learn in our lives.90
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Some girls have figured this out, too, but not all, fortunately. So I met this girl. She was not a bar girl. She had never been to a bar.91
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:49,000
I knew her family. She was from way up north, Thailand. And she had OK English, passable. If it's passable, then you can work on it.92
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000
They're going to have enough English to say, OK, would you like to practice some English now? And they understand it.93
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,000
If they can't even understand that, then life is just that much more difficult.94
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,000
So we talked for quite a while online, video chat the whole bit.95
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000
And I was starting to think, huh, well, I don't know. Maybe she's got some possibilities. Maybe. I don't know.96
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:22,000
At the time, I was living in a huge condo up above the beach.97
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Three bedrooms, really nice, really upscale, really huge. I was paying a thousand bucks a month.98
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Really upscale. Nice. Maybe not as nice as it gets, but pretty darn nice. Up there in the 85, 90 percentile of nice.99
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:55,000
And I said, OK, if you think you might possibly be serious, because I was way beyond the days of giving them money.100
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Learned that, been there, done that, you know. God, geez, I'll slap you with a ping pong paddle.101
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:13,000
You hire me to be your bodyguard. I'll go around with you and I'll carry a ping pong paddle, you know, like Velcro to my hand.102
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:20,000
And every time you try to give them one, I say, whacka, whacka, side of the face, you know, I'll do it. I'll do it.103
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:29,000
You know, I'll enjoy it because I'll be saving you. See, that's my gift to you. And it's fun for me.104
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:41,000
You can't hit back, you know, be in the contract. OK. So I told her a few times, if you think you might be serious, you can come and visit me.105
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:53,000
You know, I got extra bedrooms, extra motorbike you can ride. Whatever, you know, come on down.106
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:06,000
And a few weeks later she did. And I thought, oh, OK, well, that's OK. Let's see what's going to happen here, you know.107
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:12,000
See if she's housebroken. Because you're just not going to be able to tell much from video chats.108
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,000
I don't care if you chat five times a day for two years, you're not going to get the full story from video chat.109
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:26,000
It's going to help. It's going to be a big thing and it's a necessary thing. You have to do it. But it's not going to tell you the whole story at all.110
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:33,000
So she came down on her dime. She'd been working, making really good money.111
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:44,000
She was like a regional manager for a big operation that sold stuff. OK.112
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:54,000
So she came down, showed up and I gave her a room. And then, you know, that began the process of getting to know each other.113
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:07,000
So we talked a lot. We got used to each other's accents a little bit, watched a lot of TV, went out, ate a lot, motorbiked around.114
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:15,000
You know, she had her own shower. She had her own washing machine. Even she had everything.115
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:23,000
And I was starting to think, well, maybe, you know, she hasn't done anything Frankenstein-ish yet.116
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Yet time. You know, my rule is in 30, I'm sorry, in 90 days, you're going to know something.117
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:42,000
That's kind of a milestone for me. If you make it 90 days and it is in your head to continue beyond the 90 days, then that means something.118
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,000
That means there's a possibility. If you get to the 90 days and you think no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.119
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
And you start to look for ways to get out of it, then get out of it.120
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,000
You know, just wasting her time and yours. Just get the hell out. Just slip out the back jack.121
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:07,000
90 days is for some reason, it's kind of an important time period.122
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000
We went about three weeks.123
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:20,000
And we were sitting on the couch watching TV, just talking about nothing, just general chit chat.124
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:32,000
And all of a sudden, she launched into me like a rabid tiger.125
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:41,000
It was some little thing. It was some teensy little thing that I had said, I think, that she didn't even understand correctly.126
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
But of course, she thought she did because she was Thai.127
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:52,000
And she just launched just all claws out, razor claws, just slashing me to smithereens.128
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
And I didn't even fight back. I just sat there and I thought, what's going on here?129
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,000
You know, some kind of psychosis. What the hell is going on? I didn't argue. Nothing.130
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:07,000
I just want to see where she would take this and how it was going to end.131
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:15,000
And my notion was, once she calmed down, five minutes, fifteen minutes, half an hour, I don't know, once she calmed down,132
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
my notion was to pack her up, put her in a cab, go home.133
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000
There's somebody, go home. We're done.134
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Now, in any other case, I would do that. And I've done it many times before.135
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:40,000
I had never had one that crazy. Off the rails.136
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:46,000
I'd never had one that crazy, especially in the first three weeks.137
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:53,000
And she had been perfectly fine up to then. Reasonable, intelligent, calm.138
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Just fine.139
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:09,000
So she wound down after it took her a while, took her a good half hour. Just berating me in every possible way there was.140
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:17,000
And since I didn't argue, she flamed out eventually. She just flamed out.141
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:24,000
And I just sat there. I go, what the hell? What the hell just happened here?142
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:33,000
And I have a habit of ending relationships too quickly. There's a reason for it.143
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:43,000
It's called being smart and being tired of the bullshit. That's part of the reason. There's other reasons for it.144
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:53,000
And so my intentions stayed the same. My instinct was screaming, pack her up, pack her up, get her out now, tonight.145
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000
This was like 10 o'clock at night. I didn't care. Pack her up, get her out.146
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Because this is bullshit. It's not going to happen again in my life. Nothing like this had ever happened in my life before.147
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Nothing to that extent for less reason.148
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000
There are two problems.149
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000
One was she was drop dead gorgeous. Stunning, stunning, stunning.150
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Fiann, any girlfriend I'd ever had. That was problem number one.151
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Problem number two was I was beginning to have real genuine feelings for her.152
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:43,000
That's when you take that ping pong paddle out of its little pouch and you beat yourself silly half to death with that damn thing.153
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
That's when you do it right there.154
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:52,000
What I did do was I said, OK, OK, dumbass, sleep on it.155
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Be really, really, really sure. Maybe in the morning you can talk about this and maybe figure out what triggered her.156
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Was that the first time she ever went crazy? Is she going to do it again a week or two down the road?157
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:13,000
You know, try to get to some rational bottom of it.158
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:21,000
So we went to bed. She went way over to her side. I went way over to my side. Didn't talk.159
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:28,000
In the morning we got up and showered, breakfast. I said, OK, let's have a talk.160
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
OK. She knew. She knew it was going to happen. She knew it.161
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:45,000
And so I very calmly and gently confronted her with this insanity from the night before. I said, what the hell? What the hell was that?162
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:53,000
And her best explanation was, well, first of all, she defended her insanity.163
00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:00,000
That was a bad sign because it was truly insanity. There was no reason at all for any of her tiring.164
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:10,000
And then she kind of softened up. She was really, really smart and she could read my mind pretty well.165
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:28,000
And she softened up and she said, well, you know, OK, I know that sometimes I'm not good, you know, I can try to be good because I know I'm not really.166
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,000
And after all that, it wasn't enough, even though her looks were beyond anything I'd ever experienced.167
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:43,000
And I was beginning to feel first little tinkly feelings of.168
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:55,000
I can't say it. O V E. O V E. OK, that's as close as I'm going to get.169
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
But I do have some self-respect.170
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:07,000
Quite a bit. And I told her, I'm sorry.171
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:15,000
We're done. Not going to work. I need you to pack your things and I'll put you in a cab right now.172
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:22,000
You know, take you 30, 60 minutes maybe. She didn't have that much.173
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
And I thought she would be sad.174
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000
And maybe try to talk her way out of it.175
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000
But I was resolute. I was done. Decision was made. I've done.176
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
I'm not going to subject myself to that shit in this life.177
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
I mean, that's a trait of an American woman or a Western woman.178
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
I won't deal with it. I won't.179
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:53,000
I don't care what else is going on. I don't do insanity.180
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000
And she got that I was serious.181
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
And she started crying.182
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Well, OK, you know, Thai girls can cry on cue. They're really good at it. It's a claim to fame.183
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Everybody knows this.184
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Some of them are more convincing than others.185
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:24,000
It's surely rare that it's actually real. It can be, but...186
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:32,000
So she slinked down to the floor, about halfway between the sofa and the kitchen.187
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000
She just went down to the cold tile floor and started crying.188
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,000
And I thought, OK, cry.189
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Because I was done. I was done. My self-respect meant more to me than her sadness.190
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
And she had brought it on herself.191
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:04,000
And she had not done anything near enough to rectify it and correct the situation.192
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,000
And so I figured, OK, well, it's just going to happen again. And I'm not... No, I'm done.193
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,000
I'm done. I'm gone. I'm gone. That's it. Bye. She'd been there about three weeks.194
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:21,000
And she stayed on the floor and cried.195
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:28,000
I don't know that she ever went to the bathroom. I did not see or hear her eat.196
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:37,000
She just stayed on the floor, usually curled up, in a blanket, no anything.197
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:47,000
She stayed there for 20 hours.198
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Now that's a hard thing for a guy to watch, especially if you've got some kind of starts of feelings for someone,199
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:05,000
especially if they're drop-dead gorgeous.200
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:11,000
What the heck is that?201
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Well, stand by.202
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,000
OK, our little production booth up here on top of this building is about as, you know,203
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,000
controlled as a construction site or inside of a country western bar, you know.204
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,000
There's nobody else lives up here. Way over on the other side of the roof.205
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:39,000
But not around us. But I swear to God, they will find reasons to come hang around my door.206
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:45,000
I don't know what the hell. I don't know what the hell. I attract the loonies. I do. I do.207
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Some people do. OK, so...208
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:57,000
I watched this play out for 20 hours on the floor. I went to bed. I went to sleep.209
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:04,000
She stayed out there on the floor, quietly sobbing.210
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:11,000
How much fortitude does it take for a guy to watch that?211
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
And not intervene.212
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
That's quite a bit.213
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:24,000
I've been through a lot of really rough shit in life, and I'm fairly hard and fairly cold.214
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000
But that was tough for me.215
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
To just let that play.216
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
But every time I started thinking, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, let's try it. Let's try it again.217
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Come on, let's give it one more try. Every time I started to think that, I would flick right back to her crazy hour.218
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:58,000
And I think, no, no, no, no. Ain't going through that again. No. No. Not in this lifetime. No.219
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:07,000
OK, so at the end of 20 hours, she got up off the floor. She went to one of the bar stools.220
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:14,000
And I realized she wasn't going to pack anything, so I started going around and just very gently started packing a little bit of her stuff.221
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Just putting it in little piles on the sofa, you know, so she could get at it. Stuff like that.222
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
And she noticed that I was doing that.223
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000
And she wouldn't help. She wouldn't do anything.224
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:37,000
And she just sat there at the bar stool, slumped over the bar, the breakfast bar.225
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Just quietly sobbing.226
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:52,000
And I still wanted her out.227
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,000
That's how bad her psychotic episode was. It was bad shit.228
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Bad shit.229
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:07,000
So I packed up the stuff of hers that was easy for me to get out.230
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:16,000
I don't know where she had, you know, scurled away a bunch of other shit.231
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:25,000
I got done with that. I went back in the bedroom and laid down.232
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:32,000
And she just stayed out there, slumped over the bar.233
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Now, I told you that I had been married 40 years less one day. My wife died.234
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:48,000
I have had the sense, probably imagine,235
00:27:48,000 --> 00:28:05,000
I had the sense all these years since then that she was hanging around, messing with my life.236
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Lots of guys feel that. How many of them are correct?237
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Maybe none at all. You know, we have made amazing subconsciouses and imaginations.238
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:27,000
They're amazing. They will convince us of anything they want.239
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:33,000
And I had a pretty strong sense that something like that was going on.240
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:42,000
So after a while of laying down, something told me, look, just go out there.241
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Show her a tiny little bit of compassion.242
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:54,000
We didn't have to take her in. Just show her a little bit of compassion because she's alone now.243
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Her family was shit. She had never had a following boyfriend before.244
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:09,000
She had only had shitty Thai boyfriends. She didn't want anything to do with any of them.245
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:15,000
She had a couple of siblings. They were not close.246
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:21,000
And this voice in my head just said, go out there and talk to her. Just talk for a minute.247
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Try to ease some of this searing pain that apparently she was feeling.248
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:35,000
And so I did. And I went out there and talked to her just for a minute.249
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:42,000
I'm sorry. You know you have to go. Yes, I know.250
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:52,000
And then another voice came into my head, very clear, crystal clear.251
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:04,000
And it said, quote, you're going to let her stay.252
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:15,000
And I thought, really? Who said that? I'll punch you. What the hell? What are you doing?253
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:24,000
And probably about ten seconds later I told her she could stay.254
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:33,000
And of course she was very happy. She was sobbing, I'll try to do better. I'll try to be nice.255
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:39,000
But I'm not nice. Really, I'm not nice. But I'll try. You know, for you I'll try. OK. All right.256
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:46,000
All right. So she got to stay. We went around. I took her all over the damn place.257
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,000
We traveled Thailand back and forth, up and down, motorbikes and buses and planes, every kind of way there was.258
00:30:52,000 --> 00:31:01,000
We traveled everywhere. I met her family. Became somewhat close-ish with her family.259
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:10,000
They weren't much.260
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,000
It was about in that time period I started getting sick. And I mentioned that before.261
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:25,000
I got sick from the aspirin that some U.S. doctor had prescribed for me, like, I don't know, 10, 12, 14 years later, earlier, something like that.262
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:32,000
The aspirin just ate up my insides. And I was in the hospital 10 times in one year.263
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Really sick sometimes, near death a couple of times. Very near death. One time.264
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:54,000
I needed six units of blood. And during all this time, all the fighting that we had, and this kind of irrational, insane psychotic fighting continued.265
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Oh, God. Most trying experience of my life. I had never had a girlfriend that bad. Never in my life. Not even remotely close. Not even 10%.266
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:18,000
She was 10 times worse than any girlfriend I had ever had in my life. And I've had a few bitches. Everybody has.267
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:26,000
All that time I was sick. All those times I was sick. Sometimes I was in there five, six days in the hospital.268
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:38,000
And she, if there was a place for her to sleep, she slept in the room every minute of every time I was in there.269
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,000
If the bed was big enough, she would sleep in the bed with me. She would take care of every single need I had.270
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:54,000
If there was no place for her to sleep, she'd sleep on the floor, next to me on the floor, under my bed.271
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Now that's a big deal. That's a big deal. You can't put on that kind of an act.272
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:07,000
At some point you just say, well, honey, I've got to go home for a few days. You know, you're going to be OK, right?273
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:23,000
If it's not a real thing, you're going to do that. Eventually you're going to start cutting corners on your care of your loved one.274
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:33,000
She didn't. Not once. Not ever. Not ever. If she thought the nurses were doing something bad or wrong or making a mistake, by God, she was on them like a goose on a worm.275
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:44,000
It's really pretty embarrassing sometimes. I had to get her to calm down, calm down, calm down. She was a firebrand. OK.276
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Really smart. Now, I have led you through this long story, and there's a hundred, five hundred times more to it than this.277
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:05,000
But the point I was trying to establish is that we had a pretty intense history together.278
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:14,000
And she was as honest as any girl I ever knew, as honest as my wife.279
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Now is where your education comes in. Grasshopper.280
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,000
I woke up one morning. We'd been together a number of years.281
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,000
I had bought her motorbikes and I bought her everything you could possibly buy a girl.282
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:46,000
By this time, I acknowledged even to my heart, cold rock of a self, yeah, you love her, dumbass. You're really, really stupid.283
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:57,000
You do love her. OK. You can love, I don't know, a cobra, I guess. I guess you can. Some guys do.284
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:05,000
I was wondering, OK, you dumbass is loving a cobra. Why don't you just walk out? Because I witnessed this a thousand times in my life.285
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Why don't you just, you know, nothing is worth this. Walk out. Walk. Now. I help you. You know.286
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:18,000
I'll take you right now. You stay with me. Come on. And they virtually never would do it.287
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Well, I finally learned why. This is because they loved them. They loved the Satan that they were saddled with.288
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:35,000
OK, so that was us. You want to see fire and ice? Oh, geez.289
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:47,000
OK, so I woke up one morning. Just a normal, nondescript day. And...290
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:59,000
She had been out shopping. And she came home just about the time I was waking up and she wanted to show me some new clothes she bought.291
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Really pretty stuff. She had a really good sense of style. Most Thai girls are really good about style.292
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,000
They're good about looking good. They know how to.293
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:18,000
A lot of other nationalities not so much. But Thais got it. They got it. They're almost French in that regard.294
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:27,000
And I knew she didn't have any money. And I said, OK, well, you bought all these clothes, you know.295
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Clothes in Thailand are pretty cheap, but they still cost something.296
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:39,000
And she probably had, you know, two or three thousand baht with the clothes. It would be about a hundred bucks, you know, probably.297
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:47,000
And I didn't think too much about it. And I usually gave her pretty much anything she wanted.298
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,000
You know, she could come to me for cash anytime she wanted. I never asked her to work.299
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:00,000
I did help her start two businesses. Well, I didn't help her. I bought them, paid for them, got them going.300
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:06,000
So she had a little bit of money at that particular time. Neither of them had opened yet.301
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:12,000
So she had no income from those. But I had already bought into them for her.302
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:17,000
So anyway, I got up in the morning and she went through the thing, dancing around, showing me the clothes.303
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:22,000
OK, that's nice. That's beautiful. Yeah, you know, oh, God, you're hot. You know, whatever.304
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:31,000
And I showered, got my pants, put them on and reached in my pockets to sort of arrange stuff.305
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:38,000
You know, my keys, my phone, my wallet. Oh, wait, wait a minute. What the hell is this shit?306
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:49,000
My wallet is usually quite fat. And it goes in my pocket a certain way, only a certain way ever, my entire life, entire life.307
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Never changed. Never. And on this day, it was upside down.308
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:07,000
And I thought, well, that's really quite odd, isn't it? Huh. How the hell could that have happened?309
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:13,000
And I thought, well, you know, maybe she was horsing around over the clothing and she knocked my pants off.310
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000
The wallet fell out. She didn't know how to put it back in.311
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,000
And so she just put it back in whatever way she could. And I just let it go.312
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,000
I thought about that for a while, you know, an hour or something like that.313
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:34,000
And it bugged me. It just, I couldn't get rid of it. I couldn't get rid of that thought.314
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:43,000
How? How could this have happened? So I finally confronted her and said, hey, did you take my wallet out of my pants for any reason?315
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:50,000
No, never. I never touch your wallet. I never would touch your wallet.316
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:58,000
So the notion that she dropped my pants and the wallet fell out and she put it back in wrong, OK, well that's gone.317
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:07,000
And I opened the wallet, trying to figure out, you know, could there be anything missing? Well, I don't know. Hell, there's probably...318
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:24,000
God, I don't even know. Probably five, ten, maybe even fifteen thousand bought in there. Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight thousand bought missing. I would never know it.319
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:31,000
And it just continued to wear on my tiny reptilian brain.320
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:39,000
And I thought, you know, I've always trusted her. I had never known her to steal anything at all, because usually you get a sense of it.321
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:46,000
You know, after a couple of years, you get a sense of it, you know, and I watch things pretty closely.322
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,000
And I watched Thai girls really closely.323
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:58,000
But this thing with my wallet had happened and then it finally dawned on me, oh, let's just get to the bottom of this.324
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,000
And she was off somewhere. We had a really, really big place.325
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,000
She was off somewhere, you know, half acre away somewhere.326
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:13,000
And I pulled up the footage on the security cameras. I had two security cameras in that bedroom.327
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:20,000
We had them all over the place, because in Thailand, you're going to be ripped off. That's all there is to it.328
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Security cameras aren't going to stop them, but you know, if it's somebody known to you, you're probably going to be able to figure that out anyway.329
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:34,000
So I had probably 12 or 15 security cameras in that entire complex thing.330
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,000
So I pulled up the footage for the first one.331
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:49,000
And I knew about the time this had to have happened, because the other part of this that I didn't mention was I had gotten up to go to the bathroom at one point in the night,332
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:55,000
and my pants were positioned a certain way on a clothes rack.333
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:00,000
And then like two or three hours later, I got up.334
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Or that's when I did get up, and the pants were in a pretty completely different position.335
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:14,000
So I knew that it was like this two or three hour window that whatever happened, happened within that window.336
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:24,000
I started going through the footage on camera one, and lo and behold, two and a half hours were missing.337
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Just gone. The footage wasn't even there.338
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:36,000
I thought, what the hell? I looked at all the other cameras. They're all working. They record it all night. Everything records 24-7.339
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,000
But this one had stopped.340
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:46,000
So I pulled up camera number two. Same thing. That one had stopped.341
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Huh? And so now I'm starting to think.342
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Really, pretty seriously think.343
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:06,000
And I brought her in, said, hey, I just went through the footage on these cameras.344
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:13,000
And the time, the only time that these pants could have been moved, both cameras were shown blank.345
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:21,000
They were, they show no footage at all. Oh, yeah. I didn't mention to you.346
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:31,000
When I come out of the shower in the morning, I don't like to have those cameras on. So I turned them both off.347
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:39,000
And then after I was all dressed and everything, I turned them both back on.348
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,000
You know, plausible deniability, kind of.349
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:52,000
The weird thing was that I had not the slightest indicator that she had ever stolen a butt. Not one satang.350
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000
In those years.351
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Years.352
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:10,000
And she had been totally honest with every, every money thing she had ever done for me. Totally down to the satang.353
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,000
I thought, this is not happening.354
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:24,000
And then you had the fact that she had bought all this clothing.355
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:36,000
And then you got kind of a case. You get a circumstantial case.356
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:47,000
I had no choice but to let it go. But I watched her like a hawk from that moment onward.357
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,000
And I think she figured out that I was.358
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:58,000
And not. I was going to say not another satang ever came up missing. Well, it didn't. No money ever came up missing.359
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:05,000
But when I was getting ready to leave Thailand and leave her,360
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:10,000
we had talked that, you know, well, maybe someday you can come to my new country wherever I go.361
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:19,000
You know, but she pretty much knew the jig was up. You know, she wasn't going to come.362
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:29,000
I was selling everything. I had a five story double shop house and it was full. It was full.363
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:38,000
To move everything out of there was probably at least bare minimum 15 big trucks.364
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:43,000
That's the amount of shit that I had collected. And a lot of it was photography gear.365
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Lots and lots of it. Probably one or two whole trucks could have been nothing but photography gear.366
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:53,000
So I was having her sell all this stuff and keep a third, which I thought that was a good deal.367
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,000
And she was really, really, really good at selling stuff.368
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,000
And she would get the very best prices. And so she did that for quite a long time.369
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:11,000
It took like six months to even whittle that mess down. God, it was just sickening.370
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:18,000
And I never knew her to cheat me on a single bot.371
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:27,000
But quite a number of things went missing.372
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,000
And I would say, hey, by the way, what do you ever get for this camera piece?373
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:37,000
You know, how much do you get for that? Oh, I don't know. I never saw that. I never saw that before.374
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Well, that would be something that we had talked about, you know, a week or three weeks before.375
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,000
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, look, I was sitting. It always sat on this shelf right here next to this thing.376
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:55,000
It always said, now it's gone. What happened to that thing? I don't know. I never saw that thing before.377
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:01,000
OK, so there were quite a few instances of that. So did that convict her?378
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Well, it ramped it up to 99 percent. Sure that she was dishonest.379
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:24,000
As far as I knew, she never had any other history of it. I know her family quite well.380
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:38,000
Her brother quite well. Nobody had ever mentioned to me ever that she had ever stolen anything at all.381
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Except one thing, she was about seven. She had stolen something.382
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:51,000
It was a little bit of money out of the kitchen jar or something like that. She went and bought some candy or something.383
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:56,000
I can't remember, something like that. And her mother caught her.384
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:08,000
And her mother actually chained her to a tree outside, actually chained her to a tree and beat her to such a degree that the neighbors had to come and rescue her.385
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:20,000
And she had a big scar down her lip from where the mother had knocked open, seriously knocked open her lip and it never healed.386
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:32,000
So, you know, every kid steals a nickel sometimes. I did. I think once. Yeah, once.387
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:38,000
So that didn't, you know, that didn't mean she was necessarily a thief.388
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Anyway, the point is that it almost doesn't matter how much you trust someone, how much of a life you have with them, how much history you have with them,389
00:47:46,000 --> 00:48:02,000
how much you have watched them. Southeast Asian girls very, very, very often are dishonest.390
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:09,000
And that's, you know, like tonight's lesson. How many stories do I have like that? Too many even to count.391
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:20,000
I'll cover more of them later. But that was a good starter story for you.392
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:27,000
I hardly know a guy in Southeast Asia who hasn't had that trouble.393
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:34,000
Not sure I do know any guys who have not had that trouble. They're probably guys who claim they didn't have that trouble, but they didn't know.394
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:41,000
They never caught him, never figured it out. A lot of guys are not naturally suspicious.395
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:52,000
You know, they just would have turned the wallet right way up and gone about their lives, you know, never, never thought about it at all.396
00:48:52,000 --> 00:49:03,000
I. OK.397
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:10,000
You just got to be careful.398
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:21,000
One thing she did do that I always thought was a little odd, she would school me pretty often on.399
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Sometimes I take some credit cards out of my pocket at night, lay them on the counter, on the dresser or whatever.400
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:34,000
And she would say, hey, no, no, no, you shouldn't do that because, you know, you cannot trust a tiger.401
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:39,000
You should not leave your cards out where they can just pick them up like that. No, no, no, no, you can't do it.402
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:46,000
I thought, well, what are you saying? You know, I got to worry about you.403
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:51,000
And I never took it that way. But later I began to.404
00:49:51,000 --> 00:50:01,000
Now, guys want to know this was the original question. Guys want to know ways they can trick girls to see if they really love you or if they're going to steal your money.405
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,000
One of the best ways I know of.406
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Very best ways. Well, there's a couple of ways. One of the really good ones.407
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,000
If you got to live in with it or they're over at your house every day or whatever like that.408
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:22,000
You take small amounts of bills or even change. Change might be better. Bills or change, whatever.409
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:30,000
And you count it exactly. Exactly. You know, right down to the peso. How much is there?410
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:35,000
And you write it down on a piece of paper and you stick it in your wallet.411
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:40,000
And you leave it out someplace where it looks like you just haphazardly just you just tossed it there.412
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,000
You just forgot it there. Five, ten bucks like that. Doesn't matter.413
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:51,000
Fifty bucks, hundred bucks, whatever. Small bills, small bills, small change.414
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:58,000
And you just leave it laying around. And you don't talk about it. You don't access it.415
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:07,000
It's like, oh, you just forgot about it. You know, maybe slip it behind something on a counter where she can still see it.416
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:16,000
But it's not obvious, you know. And then after a few days or a week, you count it.417
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:24,000
And if there's one bot missing, she's out. Doesn't matter. She cries for 20 hours on the floor.418
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:36,000
She's fucking out. Because she'll do it again and again. And maybe she'll hit you really, really big.419
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:43,000
And you know, that's one way you beat him. I'm sorry if it sounds harsh. I'm sorry.420
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Yeah, you're supposed to know if you love them, if they love you, you're supposed to feel it in your heart. Well, bullshit.421
00:51:53,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Across the cultural chasm between East and West, you're not you can't read them. You don't know. You cannot read them.422
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:11,000
And they'll take advantage of that. They know that.423
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Another way, if you want to know if they're accessing some certain room that they're not supposed to when you're gone, even for an hour.424
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:26,000
You take a teeny tiny little piece of paper. Yeah.425
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:37,000
It will take any piece of paper and you tear off a little corner, you know, it's about half the size of your fingernail or quarter of the size of your finger, just a little teeny tiny piece of paper.426
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:43,000
And you hold it on to the top of the door.427
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Near the knob, not near the hinge.428
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,000
And you just put it up there.429
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:56,000
And then you very slowly and carefully close the door.430
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:01,000
And she or anybody else, you know, her kids, whatever.431
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:12,000
If that person goes in that room, they open that door, that little teeny tiny piece flick of paper flies out. They're never going to notice it.432
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,000
If they do notice it, they're not going to have any idea what it's for.433
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:22,000
And then so you when you go back to check it, you get a little stool, you go up there, you look very slowly and carefully open that door.434
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,000
You see if that little piece of paper is still there.435
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:31,000
If you look around, you find it on the floor.436
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:38,000
That's another way.437
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Another way is to have them buy stuff for you and then count the change when they come back.438
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:56,000
And I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is not very love like.439
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:03,000
But you're in a whole other universe now. You're not home in Kansas, you know.440
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:09,000
You're living in the land of vipers.441
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:13,000
And you don't understand that.442
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:19,000
You won't. So many of these guys never understand it after 10 years, 15 years.443
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,000
They still don't understand it. The smart ones get it.444
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,000
Two to three years.445
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:33,000
They learn, they watch and they learn and they think and they get it.446
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:42,000
And what happens to a lot of these guys, which is what has happened to me, is that they become so distrustful and so jaded.447
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:48,000
Then they don't really want anything to do with Southeast Asian girls anymore.448
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:53,000
They've been ripped off too many times.449
00:54:53,000 --> 00:55:03,000
I met a girl, Thailand, and she wasn't very attractive.450
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:09,000
But I didn't care. We talked well. We got along.451
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:14,000
And we saw each other every day for, I don't know, a couple of weeks.452
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:19,000
She didn't really have a good place to stay. She had a typical shit room, no air conditioning.453
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:29,000
So she started staying more and more at my place.454
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:42,000
After a while, pretty soon she had moved in there. After a while, after several months, how many months? Maybe four or five months.455
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:47,000
She decided she wanted to go see her mom up by Chiang Rai.456
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:52,000
And I thought, well, OK, that's good, you know, because these girls need their moms. They need their families.457
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,000
They're supremely family oriented. They can't live without their families.458
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Their families are like oxygen to them. They must have time with their families. They must.459
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:08,000
And if you ignore that, you're going to kill their soul and then kill the relationship.460
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:14,000
So let them see their families, help them, encourage them.461
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:19,000
They have to spend time with their families, especially if you've taken them out of the country.462
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,000
They're a fish out of water in some Western country and most of them hate it.463
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:29,000
They think it's going to be, you know, Emerald City. No, it's going to be shit.464
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:35,000
They hate it. And they got to get back and eat some rice and sit on the floor and talk to their families and play with the dogs.465
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:40,000
And, you know, they have to. It's part of their soul.466
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:47,000
So anyway, this girl wanted to go see her mom. So I gave her enough money, quite a bit of money,467
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:57,000
so she could travel comfortably, you know, on the really good bus and good food, you know, give a little bit to her mom like that.468
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Plenty of money to come back. So she planned for, I don't know, three, four or five days, something like that.469
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:11,000
And got her stuff ready and then it was time for her to go. And oh, she loved me, loved me, loved me so much. Oh, my God.470
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:16,000
I'd given her a life, you know, she kept every day. She would say, thank you for making me happy.471
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:23,000
OK, you're welcome. And we had a good relationship.472
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:32,000
We ran around all over the place and we laughed and played and played tag and carried her around on my shoulders and473
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:38,000
rode motorbikes together and went to the beach and ate.474
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:43,000
We were pretty good together.475
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:53,000
So. The day came for her to go see her mom. She was going to be gone a couple of weeks.476
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:01,000
And she got her little suitcases and stuff, and I helped her carry him down to to the lobby.477
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Cab showed up. She got in the cab, kissed me, kissed me, kissed me. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. Oh, I miss you so much.478
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:15,000
And she's crying. Gets in the cab. And just immediately within a few minutes, the pictures start flooding in.479
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:20,000
This is me in the cab. Now I go to the bus station. This is me.480
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:26,000
This is I buy my ticket, you know, click, click, click picture.481
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:31,000
OK, this is me. I'm sitting here. I'm waiting for my bus. These are the buses, you know.482
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:37,000
Oh, this is me. My bus is here now and I'm getting on the bus, you know, here's my luggage and like that.483
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:45,000
And then she got on the bus and it was incredibly it was like 15 hours or something up to Chiang Rai.484
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:50,000
Long, miserable trip. Even on a good bus.485
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Probably should have just flown.486
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:02,000
And she's clicking every hour. You know, there was a period of time she was sleeping, couldn't click, but she's clicking, clicking, clicking.487
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,000
You know, this is these are the mountains, you know, this is the traffic.488
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:11,000
And look, I see some buffaloes, you know, like they're all the way, all the way, all the way.489
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:18,000
And she gets off the bus, pictures of her family meeting her.490
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:27,000
And I thought, OK, that's good. I don't have to worry about her. She's with her family. They can go commune, you know.491
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:32,000
And she gets to her house, there's pictures of her house, mom and the dog.492
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:38,000
She's so happy to see the dog, you know, little brother, little sister like that.493
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:43,000
And.494
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:50,000
Then I guess she went to sleep in the same time zone, so she would have gone to sleep probably and I would have gone to sleep about the same time.495
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,000
I got up in the morning and I was alone.496
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:59,000
So I thought, well, I'll go to this restaurant and I'll get an omelet.497
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:09,000
And so I hoofed it, you know, a mile, something like that, over to this restaurant.498
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,000
And I walked in.499
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:18,000
Looking around for a table.500
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
There she was.501
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:30,000
Sitting there holding hands with her tight boyfriend.502
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,000
I'm trying to save your soul here.503
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,000
I am.504
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:44,000
I've seen too many guys fall in love here and.505
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:52,000
When not if when they get treated like this, they step off their 34th floor balcony because they just can't take it.506
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:56,000
They can't believe that any world could be so.507
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,000
Dishonest.508
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,000
I can't believe it. Never seen it before. Not in Kansas.509
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,000
Not even in New York City.510
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Never seen anything like this.511
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:14,000
And she saw me, her eyes went wide. She tried to jerk her hand back.512
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,000
Boyfriend didn't see me. She tried to hang on to it.513
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:22,000
I turned and was out of there before she could get over to me.514
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,000
And I went back home.515
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:31,000
Told the guards downstairs in the lobby, she's not allowed.516
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,000
OK, no problem.517
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:39,000
And it was just a short time later. No, no, actually it was.518
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:43,000
An hour later, about an hour later.519
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,000
They probably went and fucked somewhere.520
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:52,000
She showed up, couldn't get in, started sending me messages and I said, OK, you give me five minutes.521
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:56,000
I'm boxing up your stuff.522
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:00,000
And.523
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:06,000
I said, by the way, I loaned you, I didn't give you, I loaned you a really nice iPhone.524
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:15,000
And I want that iPhone back. So when I come down with your stuff, you give me the iPhone, I'll give you your stuff, all your clothing, everything you own.525
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,000
No, no, I want to keep the iPhone.526
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:27,000
You got one more chance, girl, one more chance. I'm going to tell you the deal. It's going to be take it or leave it.527
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:32,000
I want my iPhone. You get your stuff, take it or leave it right now.528
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:38,000
Now I want the iPhone. Locked. Never saw her again.529
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:53,000
I gave her belongings to whatever other girls, you know, had sisters who wanted clothing or whatever.530
01:02:53,000 --> 01:03:00,000
Are you digesting this because this is reality?531
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:05,000
In Thailand, especially, is it the same in all the other countries?532
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:10,000
Pretty much, pretty much.533
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:15,000
The Philippines has a higher incidence. This is the weirdest thing.534
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:22,000
The Philippines has a higher incidence of really, really good girls.535
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:35,000
It has the highest incidence of any country I've been in with a possible exception of Myanmar, Burma.536
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:42,000
I don't know. Malaysia has some possibilities, too.537
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:52,000
But the Philippines is kind of an enigma in that they have more really, really, really good girls than the other countries,538
01:03:52,000 --> 01:04:06,000
but they have more truly, truly horrendously bad, evil girls also.539
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:19,000
You know, we've got that thing that we always say, Thai girls for fun. You don't take them seriously. You don't.540
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Pi girls for marriage. OK, Pi just stands for Philippines.541
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:30,000
Thai girls for fun. Pi girls for marriage.542
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:41,000
The odds of finding a good girl in the Philippines are going to be much, much higher than they are in Thailand or most other countries.543
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Thailand could possibly be the worst. They're the most duplicitous females I've ever come across.544
01:04:53,000 --> 01:05:06,000
And it's a hard lesson. If you have to learn this lesson on your own without somebody, you know, as your bodyguard, taking you through this stuff daily, hourly,545
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:10,000
it's going to be hard, hard, hard lessons. And they were for me.546
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:15,000
I was not a stupid guy when I went there. I had more experience with girls than most.547
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:25,000
The years before I was married, I was stupidly active, stupidly active. And I had lived on Indian reservations in Canada and Alaska.548
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:34,000
Indigenous girls, I knew what they were like. Native girls, I knew what they were like. I married one.549
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:43,000
That lasted two years.550
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:53,000
You're going to get screwed in Thailand. You're going to get screwed in the Philippines also, unless and until you learn how to figure out how to get the good ones.551
01:05:53,000 --> 01:06:06,000
And we will cover that. I don't know how to find good ones in Thailand. I don't know how. It's just luck. It's just dumb luck.552
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:16,000
Now, here's a possibility in Thailand. And I've used this quote unquote service a few times.553
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:29,000
There are women who are usually salty old mamasans, old, retired, done. And they know girls. They know girls backwards and forwards.554
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:42,000
They know Thai girls. And they will offer to find you a quote unquote good girl for some finder's fee. Usually not too much.555
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:47,000
And you tell them, OK, it's a deal. They will start interviewing girls for you.556
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:58,000
And they will weed the dishonest, satanic bitches from the possible keepers. They will do it. They're good at it. They know these girls. They have instinct for these girls.557
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:06,000
They understand them. They can see right through them like x-rays. And so they would interview these girls.558
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:15,000
And they saw the slightest little indicator that these girls were shit. You're gone. You're gone. Cold. Cold. Cold.559
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:22,000
And then usually they would get two or three that they thought, well, these these these girls might be OK.560
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:30,000
And they would call me up and they say, come on, come on over. Let's have some let's have a little lunch, you know, on the patio.561
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:35,000
And so I show up and walk in and she'd have a little lunch made.562
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:44,000
And every single girl that this one lady ever came up with was just stunningly unattractive.563
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:48,000
Stunningly.564
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:53,000
And I just couldn't get out of there fast enough. And so we had some number of meetings like that.565
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Every single one. There was there was no there was no exception. They were all just.566
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:03,000
Shockingly unattractive.567
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:12,000
Now, I know a guy. He was a really good friend. I was a commercial diver and so was he.568
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:18,000
He did bigger stuff than I ever did. I did some very big stuff. I raised 131 shipwrecks.569
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:25,000
I don't know what all he did, but he did a lot of shit. He was.570
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:30,000
Bigger than I was in that industry. Anyway, we got along really well.571
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,000
Really well. God. And.572
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,000
I won't tell his name.573
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:48,000
And he had a big business still in the industry of commercial diving.574
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:57,000
He had a lot of money. His business was big and it was successful. Would have stayed successful forever and ever.575
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:06,000
And he had gone through the same bullshit that I had gone through. In Thailand.576
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,000
This guy wasn't in Thailand.577
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:13,000
He was a Brit. Now I bash Brits mercilessly.578
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:20,000
But I've told you before, the Brits that are the plague of Thailand and Southeast Asia have a particular accent.579
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,000
And I don't know what that accent is, but they all have the same one.580
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:27,000
I suspect that Brits know what that accent is.581
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:32,000
And I suspect that the real Brits hate them as much as everybody else hates them.582
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,000
Probably don't even consider them to be real Brits. I don't know.583
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Anyway, this guy was a Brit. He was a good one. Good one. Good one. Every possible way.584
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:52,000
But he didn't have that accent. He didn't have that horrible shitty accent that the sex pats all have in Southeast Asia.585
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:58,000
So anyway, he had been through the same ringers that I had been through with girls in lots of different countries.586
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:04,000
And he was sick and tired of it. And one day he thought, Aha! I got it. I know the secret.587
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,000
I know how to avoid this again and again and again and again and again.588
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:15,000
And his solution was to never go anywhere near an attractive girl.589
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:23,000
He would only seek out and woo pretty much the ugliest ones he could find.590
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:29,000
Just a little spider looking girls or something, you know.591
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:33,000
That's the only ones he would even talk to.592
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:40,000
And I watched that for years and I said, Oh, maybe he's on to something here. That's pretty cool.593
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:44,000
Makes perfect sense, you know.594
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:51,000
And so he found one and he stayed with her. Yeah, he married her. He married her.595
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:56,000
I don't know if they had any kids or not. I'm not sure.596
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:01,000
And I never knew her really. She was around every time I went over to visit.597
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:06,000
You know, I just never really talked to her.598
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:21,000
And then he had a long standing physical problem, some kind of long standing illness.599
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:29,000
And I don't know what it was and I never met anybody who knew what it was, but his health was deteriorating over many years.600
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Speculation was that he had breathed too many exotic mixes of gas while doing really deep dives.601
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:47,000
I have no idea if that was true or not.602
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,000
But he got sicker and sicker.603
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:59,000
And then when he was at a point where he was, you know, fairly significantly weakened, he got COVID.604
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:06,000
And everybody's like, Oh, Jesus, you know, this guy wouldn't have any luck at all if it wasn't for bad luck.605
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:13,000
And he got COVID. And his lungs were screwed up from a lifetime of diving.606
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:21,000
Probably various exotic gas mixes, although we never knew.607
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,000
And COVID detects the lungs.608
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:29,000
And if your lungs are weak, then COVID is like, Oh, happy days are here.609
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:34,000
And he ended up in the hospital. And then he's in ICU.610
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:42,000
And then he's damn stinking sick. And I'm texting to him like every hour or two, all the way through this.611
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,000
I was thinking, man, come on, come on.612
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:53,000
And I had all this really stupid, here brain anecdotal crap, you know, that I had gotten off of Google about, you know, try this and try that.613
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Drink a quart of bleach, you know, that'll fix you.614
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,000
That was Trump's idea.615
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,000
That wasn't my idea.616
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:07,000
But I was just throwing every here brain thing I could think of at him to try to get him through this COVID.617
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:16,000
And a lot of us thought, well, you know, this is probably going to work out for you.618
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:23,000
But after, I don't know, like three weeks, I think it did work out for him. He kicked it. He kicked it.619
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:27,000
He beat it.620
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,000
And he got all done.621
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,000
COVID's gone.622
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:38,000
He's fine, except for his old underlying illness, whatever the hell it was.623
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,000
And the hospital sent him home.624
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Everybody sighed relief.625
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,000
Wow.626
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,000
Wow, you dodged the bullet there.627
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,000
Wow, we are proud of you.628
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:54,000
You know, come on now, let's get you back to 100 percent, you know.629
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,000
Everybody rallied around him.630
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:01,000
It had gone like that for, I believe, about three weeks more.631
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,000
And then he just started going downhill again.632
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,000
It wasn't COVID this time.633
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:14,000
It was just the COVID probably had weakened his underlying illness, whatever the hell.634
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,000
I don't know.635
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,000
But this underlying thing was slowly killing him anyway.636
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:24,000
So it might have been just the underlying thing, you know, had run its course.637
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:30,000
For it to make its last move, you know, that could be what it was.638
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,000
And he ended up in the hospital again.639
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:39,000
And I'm texting to him every, well, he was pretty good at texting, even though he's in the ICU.640
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:42,000
He's really sick, but he was pretty good at texting.641
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,000
He just kept texting, kept texting.642
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:49,000
He's a really logical, analytical kind of guy.643
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:53,000
And so we're discussing this and discussing that, discussing this and discussing that.644
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,000
What can we try? Can we do this?645
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,000
You know, what's going on?646
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,000
They never would tell me what the illness was.647
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:07,000
And then finally, one day I woke up and I was just totally shocked because they had intubated him.648
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:13,000
The survival rate of being intubated was something like 9%.649
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,000
You know, it was just effed.650
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,000
It was horrible.651
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,000
It was tragic.652
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:19,000
It was really sad.653
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:30,000
So once you get intubated, you know, things were not looking good for you at all.654
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:35,000
And we all, you know, just sort of descended into sadness.655
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Like, man, really?656
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,000
Really? You beat the COVID.657
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,000
Now this other shit thing, whatever it is.658
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:44,000
Really?659
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:49,000
Okay, so he's texting along and he's telling me he's scared.660
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,000
He's telling me he's scared.661
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,000
And I'm saying, geez, what can I do?662
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,000
You know, I'll come there right now.663
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,000
I'll bash down the door of the ICU.664
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:57,000
I don't care.665
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:58,000
What do you need right now?666
01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,000
What do you need?667
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,000
I'll do anything.668
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,000
What do you want?669
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,000
And he just didn't have any ideas.670
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,000
The doctors didn't have any ideas.671
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:10,000
And then like a day or two later, he said, well, the doctors just left and they had the talk with him.672
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,000
They said palliative care.673
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:13,000
That's all we got left for you.674
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Well, that means you're going to die.675
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:22,000
There's nothing they can or will do anymore to try to treat your core illness, whatever.676
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,000
They're just going to try to make you comfortable.677
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,000
They're going to start drugging you up.678
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,000
That's it. Palliative care.679
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:29,000
That's it. You're done.680
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:30,000
Might as well.681
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:34,000
That's when you call hospice in the U.S., you know, because you're done.682
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,000
You're done.683
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,000
And he was crying.684
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,000
He was crying about that.685
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,000
Sent me a picture of himself crying.686
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Made me cry.687
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:46,000
Still does.688
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,000
I can't stand to look at that picture.689
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:53,000
The fear in his eyes was palpable.690
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:57,000
He was the youngest guy.691
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,000
Has whole life ahead of him.692
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Good life.693
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,000
Good life ahead of him.694
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:11,000
So, finally, he declared that he was done with hospitals.695
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:12,000
He was done with doctors.696
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:16,000
Just give him a bag of meds and let him go home.697
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:17,000
He just wanted to die at home.698
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,000
That's all.699
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,000
It's the only thing he had left that he wanted.700
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,000
So he went home.701
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,000
They sent him home.702
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:32,000
And he languished another, I'm not even sure, couple of days, three days maybe.703
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,000
Yeah, maybe something like that.704
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:46,000
And then he was asking all of his friends for some way to help him go more quickly because he knew he was done.705
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:51,000
And nobody could help him, of course, because you can't.706
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:55,000
Lots of people I've known have known this all your life, all their life.707
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,000
Nobody can help you.708
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:01,000
Nobody is going to help you get poisoned because they're going to trace it back to them and they're going to go to prison.709
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:07,000
You know, nobody's going to do this as much as they might want to help ease your passing.710
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,000
They're not going to.711
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,000
They're not going to prison.712
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,000
But then, and they understand that.713
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:14,000
Everybody understands that for their whole life.714
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:23,000
But then when it gets to that point, when it gets time for that to happen,715
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:34,000
I've seen so many of these guys, even my own father, the hospital, the docs, whatever.716
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:35,000
They've given them all the meds.717
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:36,000
They're comfortable.718
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:37,000
They're not in any pain.719
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,000
They're okay.720
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,000
They're slipping, slipping.721
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,000
They're okay.722
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,000
But they just want to go more quickly.723
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,000
They just want to get it over with.724
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:54,000
So they start asking and then begging their friends, family to go get something, go find something.725
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:55,000
They don't care what it is.726
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,000
Give it to them.727
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,000
Inject it if you have to.728
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,000
Just give it to me and let me die now.729
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,000
I don't want to lay here three more days.730
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Just come on, help me, please.731
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,000
You know, oh God, that's hard.732
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,000
God, that's hard.733
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:14,000
And every once in a while, some poor bugger, you know, ends up in prison because he couldn't take the stress of that.734
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:24,000
And he does it and the courts, you know, treat it like the courts are the courts are the courts, you know, the goddamn village idiots.735
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:25,000
Village idiots.736
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:29,000
Sorry, they are.737
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,000
You know, maybe he'll get 25 years in prison.738
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:35,000
You know, maybe it's some 68 year old guy who helped his wife pass along.739
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:43,000
And because he didn't kill her during a robbery, he killed her during a moment of compassion because he did it that way.740
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:48,000
He gets 25 years, you know, instead of 34 years, you know, like that.741
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:53,000
That's what the courts will cut you because they're fucking morons.742
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:54,000
I'm sorry.743
01:19:54,000 --> 01:20:00,000
They are some of the dumbest people on earth in the US courts, Western courts, period.744
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,000
OK, so anyway, nobody would help him.745
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,000
Nobody could help him.746
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:07,000
I want to help him.747
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:08,000
Everybody want to help.748
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:09,000
Nobody could.749
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:14,000
So he passed.750
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:20,000
And his friends were as good friends as anybody could ever ask for.751
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:28,000
And his wife was utterly clueless about what to do with his business.752
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:40,000
He had all kinds of money all over the place in banks and everywhere, equipment, machinery, everything.753
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:51,000
He left her enough money to support her in really nice style through the next four or five lifetimes.754
01:20:51,000 --> 01:21:08,000
All she had to do was let it be invested wisely, set for life, for life, several lives.755
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:09,000
So what'd she do?756
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,000
This was the one that he chose because she was unattractive.757
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:19,000
And he thought, OK, if I get an ugly one, I'll get a good one.758
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,000
That was his reasoning.759
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:25,000
He told me that 50 times.760
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:34,000
All she did, his friends moved in and they started liquidating stuff all very proper and very carefully761
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:38,000
and getting the very best prices and doing everything above board.762
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:44,000
And they were good guys, good guys, good friends.763
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:55,000
And all she ever wanted to know was how much is going in my account today.764
01:21:55,000 --> 01:22:00,000
And she wasn't investing in stocks.765
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,000
She was investing in the casinos.766
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:11,000
So as things began to liquefy and get transferred around into her account, she'd get large sums.767
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:17,000
I don't know what the sums were, but they were large, very large, some of them very large.768
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:24,000
And it would it would finally arrive in her account one a day, two a day, three a day, whatever.769
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:28,000
Various random times, random amounts.770
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:34,000
And she just took them, went straight to the casinos.771
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:40,000
And it took, as I recall, it took maybe a couple of weeks.772
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Maybe more, maybe a month for that all to play out, for everything to get liquidated.773
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:54,000
She could have kept the business running and just hired somebody to manage it.774
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,000
But she didn't.775
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:06,000
She only wanted to go to the casino, online casinos or physical, illegal, back alley casinos, whatever.776
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:15,000
Any kind of any kind of gambling. This is a big thing with with Thai girls, particularly.777
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:24,000
So it took about a month, I think, give or take, for all everything to get liquidated, put into her accounts, into her account.778
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:28,000
And pretty much as fast as it came in, it went out.779
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,000
Fast as she could gamble it away.780
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:39,000
But at the end of a month or I heard she wasn't completely broke for like two or three months.781
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:46,000
But I don't know. I wasn't privy to her finances.782
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:49,000
And that was gone. Business was gone.783
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:53,000
Everything was gone. Savings gone. All accounts, zero bought.784
01:23:53,000 --> 01:24:00,000
Or zero, zero, whatever the currency was there.785
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:10,000
So his plan to marry an ugly one, thinking he'd get a good one, you know, kind of sort of automatically didn't work out.786
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:14,000
He might as well have just married a beautiful one.787
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:20,000
Had the same luck, probably.788
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Probably the only thing she didn't do was sleep around because she never got the opportunity.789
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:29,000
So that might have saved him, you know, that might have.790
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:39,000
He might have dodged that bullet by choosing as he did.791
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:43,000
OK, this has been a really dark and ugly episode.792
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:53,000
It has to be because if you go down there, go down here.793
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,000
Start mucking around.794
01:24:55,000 --> 01:25:00,000
You don't take my advice. You don't go get chemically castrated before you come.795
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:04,000
You think I'm joking about that shit. No, I'm not. I'm not.796
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,000
You know, if it's reversible, I say, oh, God, yes, do it. Oh, God, yes, do it.797
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:10,000
I don't know anything about it. I don't know if it's reversible.798
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,000
I'm thinking maybe it's not. I don't know.799
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:18,000
There's got to be something you could take to, you know, neutralize the testosterone.800
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:23,000
It just seems like, you know, modern medical science would have come up with something like that.801
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:29,000
I know the Scandinavians have tried chemical castration stuff.802
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Go talk to the... Who would you talk to to find out?803
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,000
Go talk to a regular doctor. I don't know if they'd even know.804
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:47,000
You've got to go talk to somebody who deals with pedophiles because they would know all the possible potential things805
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:54,000
that could be done to hopeless, shameless pedophiles to try to bring it back in line.806
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:59,000
I don't know. It just seems like there's something that would knock down that testosterone.807
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:02,000
Knock it down by 90 percent, you know, your life.808
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:12,000
All we've done, all the bad stuff we've talked about for the last 20 episodes, all of it has centered around bad girls.809
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Think about that. Well, bad governments, too, that we're going to talk about that, too.810
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:31,000
Any joy you would find in Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand, is going to be almost completely negated811
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,000
by bad girls. Almost completely.812
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:42,000
Now, there are a few guys. OK, here, let's cover this last one point and then I'm done.813
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:47,000
For all the time that I was in Thailand, and all the times I went back and back and back,814
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:53,000
and all the other countries I was in, too, I would canvas guys because I was generally interested,815
01:26:53,000 --> 01:27:04,000
and I still am to a degree. I would say, do you know anyone who is happy with their Southeast Asian girlfriend816
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:10,000
slash wife, and if so, how happy, what percent?817
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:20,000
I would ask every guy that I possibly could at parties, at everywhere, sitting in parks.818
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:27,000
And they would think for a minute and they'd say, huh, you know, let's see, huh, huh.819
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:34,000
And they'd think and they'd go through their roster of friends.820
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:43,000
Almost every single one of them said, no, I don't know any guys who are happy.821
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:54,000
I said, well, do you know any guys who are 80%? No. 60%? No. 30%? Well, a few.822
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,000
That's as good as it got.823
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:08,000
Now, I know one. Let's see, I know one guy who claimed he was perfectly happy.824
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,000
He'd been married for about 10 years, Thai girl.825
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:20,000
And the really odd thing was he met her as a singer in Singapore.826
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:26,000
Now, I have always stayed strictly away from any girl in any entertainment venue, period.827
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:35,000
I don't care what they're doing. It's bad news. But he got this one.828
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:40,000
Took her out of the bar, I guess, wherever she was singing.829
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:47,000
And married her, had a couple of kids. He had a lot of money.830
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:53,000
And as far as I could ever tell, she was happy enough. And he was quite happy.831
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:58,000
She was beautiful and he was ugly, so I don't know.832
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:08,000
The only guys that I know who said, yeah, they know a couple of other guys who had really good luck with their Southeast Asian girls.833
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:16,000
And I was like, OK, what's the common denominator there? Why are these guys happy?834
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:23,000
And every single one of them would say, because why are the girls happy?835
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:32,000
Because the guys have really, really, really a lot of money and they just showered them with it.836
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:39,000
And they knew that they would never, ever find another guy who would give them even remotely that much money again.837
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:43,000
And they didn't want to lose what they had. So they treated their guy right.838
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:50,000
Because they loved him. Because they were being bought and paid for.839
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:55,000
But those guys report they're pretty happy. But they were only very few of those.840
01:29:55,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Only very, very, very few guys had enough money to do that because it takes a lot of money for a Southeast Asian girl.841
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:16,000
A lot of money. They want to live the high life and they want to strut it around the village.842
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:23,000
They want a couple of houses. They want two or three condos in their name. They want SUV or two in their name.843
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:32,000
They want plenty of freedom to go travel around, visit their girlfriends, their moms, their families, their sisters, and go fuck their boyfriends somewhere.844
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:43,000
If they can have a life like that, they will keep their guy pretty happy.845
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:46,000
Even then, some of the guys end up dumping them.846
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:56,000
How many of these guys knew that the girls were keeping them happy just to keep that money flowing?847
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:03,000
That's a hard question. It's not something you can really ask a guy.848
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:13,000
Hey Bob, did you know that the girl's being nice to you because you give her a little money and you're figuring it out there, Bob?849
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:19,000
No, she loves me truly. If I stopped giving her money today, she would still love me.850
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:26,000
Bob, I hate to break this to you. Try it. Try it, Bob. See what's going to happen.851
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,000
That's another test you can do if you want to know if a girl loves you.852
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:35,000
In the first place, tell them you don't have any money. You only got enough to live on.853
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:39,000
You got a room that's better than their room.854
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:45,000
Maybe if you have to, go rent a room that's just a little bit better than their room.855
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:55,000
That's where you take them for two, three, four months. That's your home. That's all. You only got the money to live there.856
01:31:55,000 --> 01:32:05,000
Then when you're not together, you go home to your nice condo, which you will never know about. At least not until you're sure about it.857
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:12,000
That's really kind of the gold standard of figuring girls out in Southeast Asia.858
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:16,000
If they think you haven't got any money, you've got to be careful because they're clever.859
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:24,000
I mean, they will go in, try to get a peek at your bank records. They will look at the clothing you wear.860
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:33,000
They'll look at the brand of your watch. They're calculating. They're trying to figure out how much money you've really got.861
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:42,000
If you can successfully convince them, and it's tricky because you won't know, not necessarily.862
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:54,000
If you can convince them you don't have very much money and they still love you, bingo, maybe you got something.863
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:59,000
I've actually had that happen a few times.864
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:08,000
Usually it was a case where I would make up some story about, oh my God, no, my business in America failed.865
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:14,000
Oh hell, oh, I don't know what I'm going to do now because I just lost 65% of my money.866
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:19,000
And I don't know what I'm going to do. We're going to have to get a cheap room.867
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:25,000
We can still pay for the room. We're still going to have aircon. We can still eat, you know, like that.868
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:29,000
But I got a really big problem. I don't know if I can fix this problem ever.869
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:33,000
I'll try. I'll try to figure out some other way to make some more money.870
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:37,000
But if you want to leave, you can.871
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:43,000
Because I don't have money like I used to. God, I'm just heartbroken over this. I don't know what I'm going to do.872
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:47,000
This is a catastrophe in my life. Okay, you hit it like that. And I've done that.873
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:54,000
And some of them will say, don't worry. I'll get a second job. It's okay. We're going to stay together.874
01:33:54,000 --> 01:34:03,000
You know, like that. Even then, you're not 100% sure that they're true blue.875
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:09,000
It might be. It's an indication they might be. If they just say, oh, geez, I don't know, maybe.876
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:15,000
Okay, then I should go stay with my family because, you know, I really miss my family.877
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:21,000
And I'm going to go stay with my family now. And we can talk online, you know, and then they're gone.878
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:26,000
Okay, then that's a good thing for you. It's a good thing.879
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:31,000
Now, you know, you just saved years of bullshit and heartache.880
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:37,000
Imagine you get into one of those, you got 2.3 kids and a cat.881
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:41,000
And you marry him. You got him signed into shit.882
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:46,000
Jesus.883
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:52,000
Trick him. Lie to him. Sorry. Sorry.884
01:34:52,000 --> 01:35:02,000
You tell him the truth later if you want. Tell him it was a test or just never ever mention it.885
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:08,000
If they bolt, then you mention it. You say, yeah, baby.886
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:12,000
Look at this. I lied to you. I got plenty of money. Bye bye, bitch.887
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:16,000
That's what you do. I'm sorry. You do it. You do it.888
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:23,000
If they stay with you and then after three, four, five, six months, and you start saying, well, you know,889
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:30,000
I found another business deal in America and, you know, I'm getting a little more money now and it's coming back and I'm doing a little better now.890
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:36,000
And if they're like, oh, good, that's good news. I'm so happy for you, you know.891
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:42,000
Then, OK, maybe, maybe you've got something going there.892
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:47,000
There's about a thousand other psychological tricks you can use.893
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:52,000
I don't know that all. I mean, you can go Google it.894
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:56,000
How to find out if a girl really loves you. You know, there's all kinds of things you can do like that.895
01:35:56,000 --> 01:36:02,000
In Southeast Asia, it's going to depend on the money. The money is going to be the896
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:10,000
pivot point of the whole thing, the fulcrum of the whole thing.897
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:15,000
OK, so gave you food for thought there, didn't it?898
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:21,000
You know, really, I'm sorry, but you've got to go through these about four times.899
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Excuse me. There's transcripts on the well, let's see on our site now. Also, there's transcripts.900
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:34,000
You can read through them. They're they're they inject the timestamps between every line or two.901
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:41,000
It's a real pain in the ass to try to read.902
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:47,000
I don't know. They're not going to read like a book, you know, not going to be comfortable read, but the transcripts are there anyway.903
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:54,000
If you're not sure about a word or phrase, if I'm mumbling, you know, you can you can go through it like that.904
01:36:54,000 --> 01:37:05,000
OK, if you like aliens, we got pushing 300 podcasts on on the claim dot com.905
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:10,000
You can go there. Listen about aliens.906
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:15,000
I are what you call an expert. Remember the old myth busters.907
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:22,000
We are what you call experts. Well, I am what you call expert.908
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:29,000
Pushing 300 episodes on that.909
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:33,000
All righty, we've done.910
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:37,000
Thank you very much.911
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:41,000
I hope this was some protein for you. I feel like it was.912
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:51,000
If you actually listen, the thing you got to guard against is you got you got to be careful not to listen to these and then in the back of your mind and think, oh, I'd never be that stupid.913
01:37:51,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Well, yeah, you will. And far more stupid, too, because they're going to they're going to get you.914
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:08,000
Their looks and their charm are going to overwhelm you and you're not and you're going to lose track of how to think on your feet.915
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:16,000
And they're going to own you own you.916
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:21,000
And they have some knacks for doing that. I'll try to cue you into some of those.917
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:26,000
So is it worth it to come to Southeast Asia?918
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:37,000
For the girls? No, no, no, no, it's not worth it. Well, no, with the possible exception of the Philippines, no other country really.919
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:46,000
Cambodia girls, Khmer girls are they tend to be a little more rational down to earth than the Thai girls.920
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Myanmar girls also more down to earth. Laotian girls, I think more down to earth.921
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:09,000

01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:35,000

01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:57,000
Good night.
