Dr K talks to a PROUD Trump Supporter with David Pakman 

Hehe

You can't fight fire with water when they are using napalm. Most of us Gen Xers had to raise ourselves so we set our own rules. I could help you understand our Generation, you still don't really get it. We did NOT have an EASY LIFE in the 80s at all.. BTW fellow Texan here!

If you wanted to have an unbiased discussion to understand the other side, why did you pull a pair of dumbass children from the street obsessed with tribal politics? If anything this misrepresents people's views

ADVICE FOR DR K: just at the start of the interview and its a little disorienting to hear notification sounds for discord as i only have them on for PM's. please turn of all notification sounds when doing a stream. thanks.

What is Jimmy’s RU-vid channel called?

David Egotripman

The big problem with ppl on politics they always see the other side as "something to be fixed"

Yeah, I think that David has that problem a lot. He has an interesting way of thinking about things, but seemingly struggles with empathising with people he disagrees with. Even people with harmful or hateful beliefs deserve the simple respect of being treated like a human being. They don't choose their beliefs any more than anyone else.

That's a lot of these leftie commentator types. A lot of them are far worse than the people they shit on.

@@knightofjustice5475 citation needed. in all serousness though, i have met ton's of nice and kind people who happen to be conservative, and absolutely despicable people who happen to be conservative. like wise for liberals, and likewise for progressives. trying to moralize politics, doesn't really work, aside from making you look like a hack and a shill.

He's pretty disconnected from it tbh; Jimmy focuses a lot on trans and gay people, which is easy for him to shrug off as he is neither (at least publicly, which still makes it easier even then). For my part though, I would not sit idly by and be made a joke by a balding old man with lungs like an old paper bag. It isn't the job of minorities to put up with that, so it's good these two are the ones dealing with it instead.

​@@reaganeidemiller7132 You're thinking about it too combatively. In my opinion there is no "job of minorities", we just made that idea up, as there is also no "job of the majority", because everybody is a minority or majority based on the set of characteristics you define. For example, a "balding old man with lungs like an old paper bag" from Philly as you wrote makes him a minority compared to the entire US if your criteria are those characteristics. The solution then is to approach people as individuals, challenge their ideas with other ones respectfully, and both give and take suggestions for everyone to consider.

@@Acoto it isn't our job to deal with somebody that thinks of us as a joke; we don't owe him that kind of respect.

@@reaganeidemiller7132 I agree that respect is earned. However, do you believe he owes you any kind of respect? I'd argue that no one owes another respect, it can only be given freely. If you don't have to respect him and he doesn't have to respect you, the only option is conflict unless someone opens dialogue with the intention of sharing and debating ideas. So what outcome do you want, to try to understand and be understood, or to fight?

@@Acoto He doesn't respect my existence, I don't respect his actions. I have every right to demand he respect my existence. There are different levels of respect; I don't respect choices of his, he doesn't respect who I innately am.

Exactly

Hahahahaha that is right, David is one of the most frustrating SOB I have ever seen

Yeah, the guy's a weenie.

I was thinking that too. It was probably very informative for Pakman, who probably hasn’t met a lot of guys like this in his life. Or it seems that way at least.

​@@LeanFutureI get that on a personal level. Definitely haven't genuinely gone deep with very many people.

Yeah, David fakes compassion for this guy

This is David 'Dpak' Pakman slander...

David is a political grifter, there are many like him. On both sides.

@Zurg How is he a grifter?

@jmalcolmg123 I was definitely more than disappointed in Pakman on his stance over Bolivia, but I'm wary about throwing the baby out with the bathwater here. I certainly haven't seen too much wrong with his stance on domestic issues While he has gone down in my estimation due to Bolivia, one issue in and of itself isnt enough for me to write him off just yet

Love that you appeared in this comment section lmao

The first ten minutes alone are gold

This blew my mind.

100%

Two elitists psychoanalyzing a guy who likes to laugh at everything. Grade A stuff 😂

It's kind of shocking that he manages to come off worse than the Trump guy. He comes off like a slick, cruel, dishonest, propagandist. Like he's just sitting there huffing his own farts about how superior he is for not having any opinions outside a political dogma.

Every time I see him have a conversation with someone he doesn't agree with he is condescending and belittling the entire time. It's hard to watch.

He looks like a smug asshole, chewing that pen and smiling like that while is name is flashing in the background

​ @twelvecatsinatrenchcoat this. It's a fantastic example of how political ideologies are only as bad as people make them be. I've meet conservatives, liberals, communists, and free-market libertarians alike, and I've met amazing people and a**holes on all sides. The best ideology is always to keep an open mind to understand others and find common ground with people.

I think he maybe realized how he came off in the beginning and when he said that the interview wasn’t stages. Either that or he is actually learning about Jimmy’s past and is feeling for him.

Lmao

empathy coughing is funny af

Haha that was even better than I expected 😂

Man doesn't fuck around apparently.

yeah I don't blame him, something like that would make most people not care for another relationship again

He is a paid actor

@@mr.o523 if he is, he is one good actor!

@@mr.o523 Seriously doubt it.

He wished it was so he projected. Because Jimmy turned out to be a wise but whimsical person, and David Pakman just made himself look like an ass.

@@OmegaF77 David's introduction was a shit show and I am willing to bet he regrets it. By the end of the show it seemed as though they were two people from vastly different walks of life able to just have a talk. But Jimmy comes across as wise and whimsical because he was able to have a conversation with someone that he did not see as an adversary and that person brought the best out of him through extremely careful and paced dialogue. It also seems like he does not necessarily offer the best of himself to those he sees as adversaries with making fun of gay and trans and calling people the n-word as he openly admitted. Feels like both have room to grow and that over time both have grown from their now years old relationship. With that said, the fact that you could watch this in it's entirety and pick one person to be a good guy and one to be a bad guy speaks more about you and how you view everything. David only arranged this conversation because it seemed like it could be positive for everyone involved and maybe shed some light for both sides on why people feel the need to chose a side and stick with it even when it is imperfect. But hey, I'm just a dude on the internet that hopes everyone will put away the swords one day and realize that no matter how you feel politically we are all just people trying to get by.

I think a lot of people think this is staged. I'm not a therapist so maybe I don't realize it happens a lot but how often do mental health and personality traits boil down to one specific root cause. Things aren't like the movie or TV shows where you can point to one specific thing for cause and effect. These types of things can be very nuanced and build on top of each other. I could be wrong about Jimmy but it seems like a lot of how he acts can be attributed to a very direct, precise, past life event. I don't believe, for most people, it's that simple. So when things line up almost perfectly it seems suspicious.

Dude, the viewership of David's show must probably consist more of type of people that would think this is staged, u gotta understand that Dr K's show attracts a certain audience and David's a different one, so reserve judgement for him for saying this if you will. He surely had a strong reason to do so.

Never watched David's show, but people probably thought it was fake to get views or some shit on his show

Check Vivek ramaswamy

I think that's a real sign of maturity for anyone - to be able to hear things that make you go "???????", but to hold composure and have curiosity to know more.

Yeah, this is why we need professionals, not just some random person moderator.

@@Aliangeragreed. Very unprofessional.

​@@Alianger How do you expect him to act afterward? The guy is simultaneously arrogant and ignorant. On top of that, you can't be radiating hatred and expect people to not be reactive at all. Therapists are human too.

Yo! 😂

Dave isn't on the same level as Jimmy, I think a relationship wouldn't work, even though Dave probably doesn't have a hairy a**

Absolutely. Around 42:00 he doesn't even talk to Jimmy directly, but in the third person as if he's talking to Dr. K without Jimmy there also being in the room and it's a little cringey, to be honest.

More like 0 respect. That david guy acts like a passive aggressive teenager

I am sure they have talked with each other about that before but don't even know what episode to point you to, given the 3 years of publicised "Jimmy from Philly" calls. I would guess David didn't want to be in this conversation beyond making the connection, given his general other attitudes and comments

LOL actually tho

David is just trying to cut through Jimmy's deflections.

Actually I didn't paint it,lol,I commissioned an artist that hangs out on a channel that I listen to and he was worried that David would sue him so he refused to sign it so I had him put my name on it,lol

@@ferretlord3990 Thanks it'll be a year on the 20th.Pretty sure that I'm gonna do a follow up interview with Dr.K over the summer

Whats amazing to me is how there's only a minor dichotomy between far left and far right people. I think alot of the issue with the political climate is the victim mentality caused by childhood and early adulthood trauma. The difference is the left tends to internalize that mentality, while the right externalizes it.

I do think a good woman can help a man be happier. I'm glad for your parents. Jimmy is tough, but I think he longs for that innocent kid before he became tough. When Jimmy explained how he was happy and skipped around, then he got bullied for it, he accepted it was inevitable. .He understands the world he grew up in. Also, the doctor asked him what it would mean to him if he ever really was a victim. Jimmy said, "I don't know because I don't behave like a victim. If somebody wrongs me I get back at them... And I generally make it funny and spectacular. It's just what I do." Wow! That is an understanding of himself. I think people might have missed how much confidence Jimmy has in himself. He did say forgiveness has to come with an atonement, you can't just say it was okay they hurt you. He isn't a wimp. BUT, he misses that noncynical, happy innocent kid that he was. And I think that kid is important to him. I also think Jimmy is super smart. I just wish he could see the world isn't wimps and strongmen. It's people who have their own kid inside they also live with.

@@velvetbeesyeah I think me and him are much the same but realizing adults are just grown up kids at an early age was very formative for me I clearly remember that realization I also have a built in deep humility and empathy due to my body destroying itself starting at an early age I had a 14 time no loss tournament win streak in MMA because what’s pain that thing I feel every day and I could ride a bike for 24 hours easy but pretty soon I’m not going to be able to walk and I’ll probably die if a heart attack no fault of mine quite the opposite I did everything possible to perfect my physical condition but that’s just the cards 🃏

I felt the same way, not just about Jimmy's relationship with his mother, but also about what my dad has told me about his relationship with his own mother.

​@@velvetbeesThat is very thoughtful. Life is more intriguing than we can all comprehend. So easy to box people into labelled categories than try to understand where they come from.

put this on my tombstone

"My doctor recommended I vape more" is basicly what he said later too lol. What a doctor Edit: To everyone pointing out that doctors recommend vaping as a substitute for cigars, you can rest assured I know that. I'm just pointing out his interpretation of what the doctor said gives a hell of a mental image of a bad doctor. Note that he said "Doctor recommends I vape more" rather then "Doctor recommends I smoke less, so I've been vaping more."

@@Eric-jh5mp Yeah, that had be absolutely in stitches lol

@@Eric-jh5mp it sounds like the doctor was trying but he misunderstood. Imagine a doctor has told you a hundred times that you stop drinking soda but you won't and finally he asks you to try this low sugar version. You hear that and start drinking twice as much of the stuff because now you dont feel bad about it. Better for you doesnt mean good for you but he took it to mean that.

@@connorchristensen1291 well you probably could smoke more with the vapes if he wasn't still also smoking the cigs and it wouldn't be as bad. Rat poison and shit doesn't tend to be in vape juice 😂

These videos are the ones that remind me how much more work I have to do to truly be able to listen to others.

Could you point out his flaws? Other than the obvious chain-smoking of course

@@azmaIS I don't think making fun of people for being gay or trans is a good thing lol.

@@azmaIS I can answer in Ryan's stead. I'd say that most of the "flaws" probably boil down to a lack of compassion for others that may also be somewhat unintentional. And, as Dr K said, the rigidness of his beliefs makes it harder to show him how he may be hurting people with what he says/believes. Other than that though, besides his drug use, I'd say he seems like a genuinely friendly dude. But that's just my perspective on the situation.

@@janold0808 from my perspective I think Jimmy(and myself included) cares more about facts than peoples feelings. If someone is being delusional I don’t think taking part in their delusion is a compassionate act, it’s the opposite in my opinion if you look at the bigger picture

You're welcome

I know right?

What's interesting is, I agree with what you said, but with the context of David's show I think it's very easy no matter your political opinion to make the assumptions David did. This episode really did teach me a little about the importance of patience and compassion when navigating difficult conversations.

You're welcome

that was a great statement, being able to have empathy and logic. You put what Dr. K does into words very well, maybe youre smarter than you think ;)

@6Seraph6 thanks for sharing this!

That's the type the person that I strive to be, being so empathetic and logical.

Thing is people that Dr. K said himself that he would rate low on the emphatic scale if it was tested, because being a psychiatrist requires that. He objectively understands emotions, that being logic if thats what you mean by him being emphatic.

@@Journeyagain0 Emphathetic ? 😂

I found his approach to jimmy very sympathetic for the most part but too many times in this interview did he give Jimmy reassurance in his behavior... agreeing with everything he says anx moving on almost seems insulting to Jimmy has a person, he deserves the respect of a man to tell him to his face that he should not be doing the things he is doing and its offensive and dangerous. Lets stop treating Jimmies like children and treat them like the adults they are.

@@brooksbrooks6805 Like Dr K said at the beginning, he's not there to treat Jimmy but just have a conversation with him. You don't call people out on their BS when you're just chatting with them. Dr K let it go because he's not here to change Jimmy, just learn about his perspective.

@@brooksbrooks6805 Ah yes, the random comment with likely no training knows more about approach than a trained psychiatrist

@@brooksbrooks6805 If you do that, then the other person shuts down immediately and no constructive conversation is possible anymore. Gotta make them feel comfortable to open up and ask them questions that lead them to come to conclusions by themselves and only then are they able to maybe be open to trying to change things. It's a long process though.

Psychiatrist not a Phychologist , simular but not the same .

This is the thinking you relate to?

​@abhishekgodse6 i think she means that it's relatable to see the ways his experiences shaped his thinking and how it could have been similar for anyone. What I'm finding incredible is that underneath the abrasive language and attitude, he's said some really profound and wise things. He's proven to me that he is a thinking, intelligent person who has developed coping strategies that unfortunately may hurt others. What blew my mind is that he said he's an atheist, and that he's examined a variety of religions and cultures. His expression is crass, sure, but he's much more relatable than Pakman or any of us could see when the video started.

@@stivenhunt395 “this right-winger is ACTUALLY like when left-wing”

A year ago I said "I wouldn't even talk to a Trump supporter" because I thought they were just 'gone' But we have SO much in common! It's really just minor discrepancies between us, and I'm a leftist

Yeah, I wish this was more common. I'm not a fan of David; I don't see him debating people who are extremely articulate like Destiny does. David also seemed very disrespectful and snake like in this video in my eyes but I could be wrong. When it comes to the left, I like people like Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald the most because they don't buy into the corporate media's bullshit. Jimmy Dore is an outspoken socialist and hates most of Trump's policies outside of foreign policy but he knew RussiaGate was bullshit pretty quickly because he's still capable of being logical. I've never seen a rational argument from someone who's antiwar that didn't acknowledge Trump's foreign policy was better than his predecessors.

Yes. Evidently David has been hurt.

Will it take this level of "knowing someone" for you to have compassion for someone you disagree with in the future? ... I have learned in the last couple years that you should never be mad at or hate or whatever people whose opinions come from the heart no matter how much they came from lies etc... At that point i just "pray" for them, or the human species as a whole anyway. It's unfortunate that some people are so lost.

You may have compassion for them. But, do they have compassion for you?

@@ceekay4649 it's difficult to be compassionate if your heart is filled with vengeance and hate.

He's definitely angry. I mean, even looking at the small things like the "f%ck Biden" poster in his room. Why go through the effort get a poster like that that exudes such negativity and hang it up on your wall? I don't like a lot of people, concepts and other things, but I would never hang a poster about any of those things to remind me how much I hate it. I would rather hang up things that exudes positivity. If I were Jimmy, I would hang up that painting that I made instead of the Biden poster.

To change to what? Become an npc?

Did you not hear what he said, he is happy, people like him should be accepted while they still exist

The most hateful and narrowminded people are often the most broken, because they are that way as a result of their experiences. Hurt people hurt people.

Sad? Nah man, he grew up and he's content

@@genocidist2602 People don't always know how they feel. They can tell themselves that they are happy, but it is just a way to ignore issues most of the time.

So David was trying to make a fool out of me hoping for a reaction.He only made a fool out of himself

I think its just modern affordable health care that's lead you to believe that

@@mentalcincen Lmao what the hell are you implying?

It's not that they're literally beyond reach, but reaching through to them in a way that can engender meaningful, lasting change means sifting through months (at least) of hate speech and constantly discussing new misinformation. When everyone is already feeling beaten down, very few of us have the capacity to reach out to people like this because it easily becomes exhausting and hurtful.

I’m some ways it’s hard to tell if by change we mean to persuade to our beliefs, and we are trying too hard to that end with this whole “beyond saving” talk. Not everyone is going to fit your mold, and Jimmy if anything is a great example, he is tired of being shoved into a mold, he stands up, and he snaps back. There are multiple sides to things, and it is important that his concerns are heard as well. We are all flawed, we all have different backgrounds and biases, and it’s ok. It takes opening up on both sides to agree on something, anything at all, we can’t just focus on Jimmy, we must look inward as well. You build a footing with common ground, but don’t set out with a goal of knowing your right and you are here to conquer, no wonder people put up walls and lash back out. Take that precious common ground and build upon it, expand it, and do so without a selfish intent.

@@ApolloTheDerg I get the rationale of finding common ground and trying to understand where other people are coming from, but that's not an excuse to toss out your morality. There are lines that should not be crossed. It's not selfish to want to stop people like Jimmy from harming minorities and it isn't incorrect to recognize that that's what he's doing. Nobody should be open to agreeing that hate speech is okay.

@@AbandonedVoid This take is hilarious because you back up Jimmy’s claim of a truth nuke being inadequate to counter an emotional decision. That take is incredibly selfish and either exposes the weakness of your own ego, or how fragile you think minorities are, and that says more about you than anything. These words only wound fragile egos, and it appears you may be even more judgmental than Jimmy. Context matters, intent matters, and if you can’t accept that, maybe it is you who is “beyond saving”? You have the gall to sit here and complain about time converting someone and then sit here and spew narrow minded stuff like this, no wonder the world has Jimmy’s.

@@ApolloTheDerg It's judgmental, narrow-minded, and selfish to say that hate speech is wrong and hurts people? Is that something someone who claims to believe we should listen to everyone's concerns would say? I don't think so.

Lol what did David do to be thanked for???

​@@jamesbizsDavid is a pinhead

He would need more than 5 minutes. From his story is sounds like he was all alone so he coped by adapting. He couldn't skip? So he stopped skipping. He was send away by his mother? He guilt tripped her for a bit but says that later in life he finds her decision justifiable. He was throw away to some boys house to get fixed? He tried to have fun and make friends since day one. And I wouldn't be surprised if those friends were users aka bad influence too. In a way he is still doing it in his adult life. He mocks minorities, who react to him negatively while the other side of the extreme supports him and finds him hilarious. How can anyone change if all their live the same pattern happens? And if he tried to change now and show "weakness", he probably feels like he would be eaten alive since the loudest people are the least forgiving. And I mean it on both sides. The one extreme would call him a snowflake while the other would say he is lying and should pay for his actions while never accepting him. Change is hard, especially in the era of the internet. Everyone can look up what you said and even if you delete it, someone probably screenshot it. It's very hard for anyone to even think of turning a new leaf because the past will always come to haunt you. Especially when people are not charitable and misrepresent your actions while removing most of the context. The way the other guy introduced Jimmy was pretty cold-hearted. This is probably why when Dr K was asking his question Jimmy was defensive for the first 30 minutes or so.

​@@illusionofquality979to be fair, it's hard to give a warm-hearted introduction to someone who has decided to make their personality "the bad guy" - even if it is a giant front.

He is the way he is because Narcsisism makes you incapable of self reflection. He believes he's doing everything just fine.

But EVERYONE does this! Just watch people, and if you look hard, you'll see the same type of things in yourself because it is hard to re train your learned behaviors, it's subconscious and it just doesn't occur to you easily.

You can only be hurt if you're fragile

@youjustlostthegame5042 I was unplanned, and she was messed up on drugs and alcohol at the time so Ive been living with my father in a house with 6 other people, where theres often conflict and yelling, it not perfect but its way better than the alternative.. Im mad at my mother because once she got clean and i tried reconnecting with her a few years back, i soon came to realize that she felt entitled to my love despite there being essentially no relationship between us. she would get mad at me not saying happy mothers day, or not saying I love you back. im not the kind of person who feels comfortable bullshitting an "I love you." So I've stopped talking to her for the time being (its been over two years since i last spent time with her), but she keeps trying to get back in contact with me. i simply do not want her in my life right now and she can't seem to respect that.

@@dazzdazzle8758 I feel you on that. Weirdly similar situation myself with my mom. I’m the opposite and I forgive a little too easily. Sometimes forgiveness is great for letting go of anger. But at some extremes I end up letting bad people back into my life. So. When you’re going through that growth. Remember to keep a balance

​@@dazzdazzle8758 While forgiveness is a valuable tool for healing, it's important to realize that nobody deserves forgiveness. Forgiveness is earned and it is a choice made by the victim of harmful actions. Regardless of how forgiving Jimmy is for his mother, yours is a separate journey.

@@dazzdazzle8758 Let's look at it this way. I forgave my mother for being on drugs. She continued to do it behind our backs. She ended up dying to the fentanyl lacing along with her fiancee a year ago.

@@jzburda random stranger here, you ok?

Thanks

2 years later and Jimmy is still looking at these comments. Amazing how much this interview may have affected him! Hope things are going good Jimmy!

@@calebperz-stewart4334 sober 6 months in a recovery house,thanks

@@JimmyfromPhilly1how are you doing? Are you ok?

@@egontokessy1610 Yes 6 months sober, thanks for asking

I know right? Like hearing that drug addicts voice rots my brain.....ughhh

​@@dragonslayer101Jimmy is GONE

​@@dragonslayer101r/beatmetoit

Anyone that thinks Jimmy can't have a 2nd chapter and do better has either a poor reason to live or nome whatsoever. You may think he can't do better but if he's a person so are you and if you can do better so can he

Why do you find so hard to non judge others and allow them to explain themselves ?

Yup. It's why some people just can't be reasoned with. *racks shotgun slide*

Except he may not have imagined it happening to himself. I think that's what Dr.K was trying to ask when he said "Is it possible you were a victim(of this fact)"

Lol that’s not true at all. Depends on the person and their emotional intelligence. And Dr.K stated he disagrees as well. So in other words only a guy with the brain of an ape would believe that horrid logic.

It’s funny how that statement actually applies to trump supporters too…

I read this comment at the exact moment in the video he started saying it. Really freaked me out!

It's the Philly dark humor, rhetoric questions do not exist there. Even if their understood as such.

I legit think that every time he says that. I know he's just being polite when he asks, but its still kind of funny

It's actually super annoying when people do that. They know you're being polite and they're just being dicks. Like when I ask cashier "Can I have x?" and they're like "I don't know, can you?" like, sorry for being polite...

@@Anna13Tonks lol that's a joke because the proper way to say it is "May I have x?" as Can is more like are you physically able to?

It's just Jimmy trying to be funny when he really isn't. Nothing more. Nothing less

Let's Level Up! How did he come to believe how he feels? He watched a tiny baby turn into a woman. 20 years goes by really quick. Is right? Not necessarily. Does he think really hard about how to fix your problems, yup. He has been only doing that for decades.

hahahahaa, omg. . . you got me cracking up with that comment

I had to check🤣

?

@@poifish7442 He's just joking about Jimmy smoking so much the color of his ceiling tiles got gray

Damn I was hoping they would just slowly de-smokify as I scrolled backwards hahaha.

No no dude he got it all wrong, they were 20. It really changes things.

@@Versace_sheets Ah yeah my bad

I cant believe he said that like it was a meaningful correction lmao what a moron

@@Versace_sheets Also thieves and racists

He only called them the N word in the police cruiser 😂 jfc

Yeah, most doctors have to somewhat guide the patient in the right direction. Help them realize and understand. A psychiatrist is of course way more equipped than a surgeon, but all need the skill.

Absolutely. If it isn't reigned in it becomes a conversation, not therapy.

Yeah well, he wasn't there for therapy in the first place. That's why.

I have an even more interesting observation for you: you missed K's preface of the conversation as being 'just a conversation'. Even better is that he is trying to find a reason for painting the behaviour of the man in a bad daylight. The dude has some rough edges, but seems to be up front, honest and not too complicated..

That's a good point. They do the same thing in police interrogations, actually. If you've watched any JCS you'll probably be familiar with this. Guilty/nervous people tend to go on long, unrelated tangents to avoid talking about the crime, and police have to find a way to gently guide them back to the topic without making them more nervous.

😂+😢+🤬= Jimmy

Nah you are out here most likely with a political agenda in your underdeveloped brain spouting this bs and hating on the old man for not agrreing with your bs

Yeah 31:00 how did he not realise

Yeah i also agree that parkman shoul heal and stop blaming others

To be fair, as someone with a history of drinking problems, jimmy may not actually know what happened with that baby. That’s kinda how it goes sometimes,
