Summary

This first call deals with a heavy topic so viewer discretion is advised: a caller tells me that a longstanding childhood friend of hers has been arrested for a horrible crime, and we discuss the flux of emotions she’s been dealing with in response. Afterwards we hear from a caller struggling to find a balance between his Pakistani heritage and his new life in the US, a man who feels guilt from a petty crime he committed in high school, and a caller who tells us what it’s like dating as a plus sized woman. DM me a picture on Instagram (@lyle4ever) of your favorite road trip snack. I’m going on tour and need ideas for nourishment. I am a gecko.

0:53.0	Precisely.
0:55.0	What's going on with the cash?
0:57.0	So I wanted to talk to you about one of my childhood best friends who I met when I was in the fourth grade and I'm now 24.
1:10.0	He about a year ago went to jail for child pornography.
1:19.0	And I haven't talked to him since, but he's tried to call me several times and he wrote me a letter to my friend, which I still haven't picked up, because I've kind of
1:40.5	just been avoiding the topic as a whole, but yeah, I suppose that's
1:49.2	the main part of the issue.
1:53.0	So this person has been writing new letters.
1:57.0	Yeah, they, well, to my understanding, they only wrote me one letter so far and they wrote it to my friend's house.
2:09.8	I assume they just didn't know if I was still living in the same location, but I just haven't
