SPEAKER_01 1:25

Yeah. But everything's good. I'm just deficient in uh vitamin D. So that's it. So now I know that I'm not lazy. I'm just uh lacking vitamins.

SPEAKER_04 1:38

It comes in a pill form. You can go get it in a pill form, or you can just go outside and hang out outside for a few hours.

SPEAKER_01 1:48

We don't have a yard anymore. Where am I gonna go? Right down the sidewalk. I'm gonna sit there.

SPEAKER_04 1:52

Yeah, chill with uh dude that smokes cigarettes.

SPEAKER_01 1:55

True. Maybe I should take up smoking cigarettes. The only thing I do is just to go outside.

SPEAKER_04 2:00

Lungs are terrible, but vitamin D is awesome.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

Your vitamin D is out the roof. Your lungs suck. No, go get checked. But now I have like ten other doctor's appointments because I went and now they were like, Oh, do you need anything else? And I was like, Well, I'm having uh problems with my ear. And then she's like, anything else? Well, I'm having problems. So now I have uh about five different doctor's appointments, but oh well.

SPEAKER_04 2:28

You got the dentist, the dentist, the guy that walked in.

SPEAKER_01 2:32

That was so fucking weird, but I appreciate it.

SPEAKER_04 2:36

I like the his marketing tactic though.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

I did too, I did too, and and he got me. He got me because I made an appointment.

SPEAKER_04 2:41

Why don't you tell everybody what he did?

SPEAKER_01 2:42

Well, I went I went to my primary care doctor, and then this guy comes in and he's like, hi, and I thought he was in the wrong room. And I and I was gonna tell him, Oh, um, I I didn't get any dental work done. And then he was like, Oh, I just wanna um let you know that I we opened up a new office, la la la. You know, are you looking for a new dentist? And I'm like, actually I am. And he's like, Can I check your mouth? And I was like, here? And he's like, Yeah. And then he's just like, I just opened my mouth and he's like, Okay, everything looks good. And then uh he did he like filled out like a chart for me and everything.

SPEAKER_04 3:16

Oh, like there?

SPEAKER_01 3:17

Yeah, like he was like, Oh, uh, how often do you brush your teeth? Do you eat any snacks? Do you this? Do you that? And I was like, What's going on here? And then he came back like five minutes later, and then he handed me a card with um my appointment.

SPEAKER_04 3:30

That is crazy that he got me.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

Oh, and he gave me a free toothbrush too.

SPEAKER_04 3:34

Free pack and everything.

SPEAKER_07 3:36

This dude's a mastermind.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

I know.

SPEAKER_04 3:39

He's a marketing genius.

SPEAKER_01 3:41

He's all filling me in my cavities right there, giving me a root canal.

SPEAKER_12 3:45

I'm like, okay.

SPEAKER_01 3:47

I don't know. I'm the type that's like, oh, oh yeah, yeah, okay, sure. I don't know how to say no. But I guess I shouldn't say no, right now.

SPEAKER_07 3:56

You're just who they're looking for. Yeah. Sure.

SPEAKER_01 3:59

Give it all to me.

SPEAKER_04 4:01

He was walking by and he was like, you know what? She looks like uh, you know. She wouldn't say no.

SPEAKER_01 4:07

The thing that struck me as not odd, but he's like, Do you snack a lot? And I was like, Do I look like a snack a lot or what? No. Um, and then I said question. No, he just was like, Do you snack a lot? And I said, No, not really. And he's like, Oh, that's great. And I said, Why? And he's like, Oh, it's good for your teeth. He's like, You shouldn't be snacking often. I guess we shouldn't really be using our teeth as often as we should.

SPEAKER_07 4:30

That's what it sounds like. They stay nice if you don't use it.

SPEAKER_01 4:32

Yeah, that's what he was kind of inferring. He's like, Oh, great, it's just better to eat um like large meals than lots of little meals.

SPEAKER_04 4:40

Let's bring into uh today's guest into the show. Uh, you've seen him on the West Coast Pop Lock Podcast. You see him at the comedy store in LA. Please go to Fort Johnny C. Hey, ladies and gentlemen. What's up, man? Not much. How are you, sir? I'm doing good. So he was saying that snacking is not good for you. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 5:04

Apparently, don't use your teeth if you want to keep it.

SPEAKER_01 5:06

That's what that's what I I got from it, right?

SPEAKER_07 5:09

Don't use them for anything.

SPEAKER_01 5:10

He was like, don't eat, just eat big meals all the time.

SPEAKER_04 5:15

It's like drop them into your throat. Yeah. Just swallow.

SPEAKER_01 5:18

He was like, blend everything and drink it. Imagine. No, but then also if you don't use your teeth, they can also rot.

SPEAKER_07 5:25

Sure. I imagine. Oh my god. It's the same thing like shoes again. Like if you don't use them, maybe you just put them in the closet and then you can. Oh, they just this the heels just disintegrate.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

Yeah, so it's the same thing. I feel like every day, especially on social media, you get on there and it's someone telling you something's bad, and then the next day you go, and then it's somebody tell you don't listen to theirs. Sure. And everything is bad now.

SPEAKER_07 5:51

Yeah, that's I mean everything's bad. I don't know why we continue to just let social media happen when everybody's just agreed that it's terrible and it's bad for our health, and nothing good is coming about it, and we're just like, you know what, let's keep doing this.

SPEAKER_01 6:08

Like we've all agreed that this is terrible, and let's just The one that scared me was that you're not supposed to put onion in the fridge.

SPEAKER_07 6:17

What? What I have I'm not I was like, what? Why not?

SPEAKER_01 6:22

That you're creating more bacteria and that you can give yourself like a what is it called? Food poisoning. And I'm like, I've been putting onion in the fucking fridge.

SPEAKER_07 6:32

The only videos I watch is like um when a tiger makes makes make makes like makes friends with a turkey, you know what I'm saying? It's like, oh, the tiger and this turkey became friends, and now I watch their adventures, you know what I mean. I'm not I don't want to hear somebody tell me that I've been living my life wrong for the past I'm not interested.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

Oh, like the AirPod one? Have you guys seen that? No, that one's stupid.

SPEAKER_07 6:58

I don't have AirPods, I'm still wired. I fucking hate AirPods.

SPEAKER_01 7:03

Somebody said, supposedly, and you know, when somebody says it and then they put it online, it goes that every everybody's wearing the AirPod incorrectly. That you're supposed to flip it up. Oh, those little things like an antenna? Yeah, but it doesn't make sense to me. But isn't the mic that's where the microphone is? That's what I thought too. That's why I was like, God, we're so gullible. Yeah, I don't do that.

SPEAKER_07 7:24

They just want you to walk around fucking with those things sticking up. Yeah, like watch this. I'm looking at a bunch of chicks to walk around with these things sticking up like antennas.

SPEAKER_04 7:34

That's exactly what's happening.

SPEAKER_07 7:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:37

Oh man, social media, dude.

SPEAKER_07 7:39

That's one of the I mean, I don't know. There's probably a bunch of old man things that I do, but one of my number one old man things is wired. Like I want I want wires. I hate fucking Bluetooth stuff.

SPEAKER_04 7:49

Justice in the past six months I I moved over to to wire stuff. Yeah. Especially when I'm editing stuff for the podcast or I have to do like clips or stuff. I usually I tend to to plug in just uh the headphones and wired headphones into the to the laptop.

SPEAKER_07 8:08

I like to touch books still. You know what I mean? Like even though I'm blind, like it would be so much better doing it on like a Kindle or whatever. I can make the letters big, but I'm just I don't like reading like that.

SPEAKER_04 8:19

Yeah. Amber's uh she likes smelling books. Oh it's probably I like the smell books.

SPEAKER_07 8:25

I like the I like this I like the smell of bookstores, but I don't like I don't want to smell individual books, but like inside. I do like I that's what I'm learning. It's fucking weird. I'm like, but inside of a bookstore, I like that smell. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:40

Which is funny because I I'm always washing my hands and I don't like to like feel like dirt on my hands. Sure. But I'll sniff a fucking dusty, a dusty ass book. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 8:52

This is hundreds of years.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

I've never done cocaine, but I feel like that's what it would be like what it would feel like.

SPEAKER_07 8:59

That's the nerdiest comparison to cocaine. Smelling old books must be like doing cocaine. I don't know. I know, yeah. It's very obvious.

SPEAKER_01 9:15

That's why all my labs came out good. No drugs.

SPEAKER_04 9:18

No cocaine.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

No cocaine in the system.

SPEAKER_04 9:20

Do they test you for drugs too when you when you do your lab? Do you know?

SPEAKER_07 9:26

I don't know. I I mean I I wouldn't think I wouldn't think so. Not unless the no, why?

SPEAKER_04 9:32

I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 9:34

None of your consists if I'm on drugs.

SPEAKER_04 9:36

Well, if you go and do your lab and you have like a crazy amount of I don't know, like morphine in your system, like they wouldn't tell you. They ask.

SPEAKER_07 9:45

I mean, they for sure they for sure ask. I would I tell the doctor the truth. Like the doctor's one of the only people that I go with that. I'm like, I'm gonna tell you guys the truth. Because I assume that'll help me, you know. So they ask about drugs all the times that I've been doing drugs, but I'm like, yep, occasionally. Sometimes you smoke marijuana, yep. You're like, yes, yes. I'd love let's answer all these questions, honestly.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

So that yeah, because you can't, I mean, you can lie, but who are you helping?

SPEAKER_07 10:13

But who are you fucking helping?

SPEAKER_01 10:14

Who are you helping by lying?

SPEAKER_07 10:16

Nobody, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:16

Tell these fools the truth, and plus they'll find out. I mean, come on, they're they can find out your levels of start just looking no asses.

SPEAKER_07 10:24

I don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_04 10:26

It's not me. It's like, sir, I'm over here. No, I don't do drugs.

SPEAKER_01 10:31

I don't do drugs. Sir, that's the wall.

SPEAKER_04 10:36

Oh my god. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 10:38

There you go. See, Johnny already went to the doctor. I went to the doctor. Now it's your turn.

SPEAKER_07 10:44

I have to go to the doctor. I'm fucking old.

SPEAKER_01 10:46

Yeah?

SPEAKER_07 10:47

You know what I mean? Yeah. Like I just I'm fucking 50. Like you go. If you don't, if you don't keep going to the doctor, you die.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

I know. My mom goes to the doctor all the time. I'm like, why?

SPEAKER_04 10:57

For what did you go in when you're like around, you know, like 20 years ago?

SPEAKER_07 11:04

So the there's been a couple times. I I'll I it's like one of those things where I don't go for years in between. And then I convince myself that I'm dying.

SPEAKER_05 11:12

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_07 11:13

And then I say, I'm gonna go to the doctor, and if I'm not dying, like, let's go. Like, that's also like I'll like I'll let I'll I'll do better with my life if I'm not dying. It's just not be dying. That's how I feel today, like, oh right, and I've done that a couple times, and this last time was maybe like like a couple few months ago, where I finally I was like, all right, let's go find out if I'm my aunt, why every five or six years go find out if I'm dying.

SPEAKER_04 11:42

Okay. Well, when are you supposed to go anyway? All the time.

SPEAKER_07 11:45

Yeah, just all the time. Like it's wild to be around people that use the doctor like correctly, like in their like, oh yeah, I don't feel good for this afternoon. Like, I'm gonna go to the doctor. You know what I mean? Like, my shoulder hurts. I'm gonna go to the doctor. That's my mom. Shh, and good for them. Because like I I don't like I got told that I was willing to accept an uh it's unacceptable the amount of punishment that I'm willing to just be like, all right, like suffering. That I'm willing to just be like, all right, I guess that's just life now. It's like, no, go to the doctor.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

Like, yeah, that's what my mom tells me. She's like, I don't understand how you're walking around, like you're in pain, and I'm like, uh I'm good, I'm okay. Like some days are good, some days are bad. Yeah. Like I just accept my fate.

SPEAKER_07 12:33

Right. This is just I accept life. Like, here we go.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

I think the philosophy, and it's really bad, and don't listen to it, but I think what sometimes plays in in my head, and I think in a lot of our heads, is like, if I go to the doctor, they're gonna tell me something's wrong. If I don't go to the doctor, I don't know that anything's wrong, so life's good.

SPEAKER_07 12:52

I'm just good, I'm fine. And then I look at other people like that are like people that I know that have abused their bodies or their lives for way longer than I've been. I don't know. Like, this motherfucker's still fine, you know what I mean? So it's just like I'm gonna assume that I'm okay.

SPEAKER_08 13:08

That's true, but then I go, anyways, and go to the doctor. Like, all right.

SPEAKER_04 13:12

The body will take care of itself.

SPEAKER_07 13:14

That's right, you know. Oh, it does how strong my mind is mind over matters. You know how strong my mind is. You think I can't convince my body that everything's good? I can.

SPEAKER_01 13:25

You're like back in the day, they didn't go to the doctor, which is true. They didn't always go to the doctor. No, but what was the life of people?

SPEAKER_04 13:32

Well, if people went to the doctor, they you die at the doctor.

SPEAKER_07 13:34

That's why they're like, when you get that desperate to take it to the doctor, yeah, they're dead or no fucking way.

SPEAKER_01 13:42

People used to die of like just going to the dentist back then. Sure.

SPEAKER_07 13:46

Broken bone, any kind of infection, all that kind of stuff. Like, you're done. Like, done. You just gotta be careful all the time, or else you're fucking at the end.

SPEAKER_04 13:55

You're your your shoulder hurts? Your shoulder? Okay, though take the whole arm, take the whole arm, we'll saw you off.

SPEAKER_01 14:02

But then when do you draw the line at like the doctor, right? Where they want to pump you with all of these things, or do you just like okay, yeah, you're a doctor?

SPEAKER_07 14:10

I mean, not prescription drugs. Like that is for sure a wee. I mean, obviously they're good for some things, but like the over-prescription of drugs is for sure, like a fucking thing, you know, like absolutely. Well, it's like you see, they go in there and the people, I mean, there's been movies and documentaries made out where it's like just hot girls going in there fucking selling drugs, you know. It's just this is crazy. What is happening right now? That's true.

SPEAKER_04 14:37

Wasn't there like a recent documentary on Netflix about it? It was like some rural area in America, and they did like this whole uh documentary on how uh they were wondering why like there was so much oxycon.

SPEAKER_07 14:53

Sure, at all those it was in Florida, all the c all the clinics right there, yeah. Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_04 14:59

And it was like one or two doctors that were like prescribing all of this. Right.

SPEAKER_01 15:08

Didn't we watch something too, or was it connected to that one where they were talking about like oxy when it first came out, how they were pushing it so much?

SPEAKER_07 15:18

Yeah, they've pushed it and lobbied for it and then gone in and and amended laws to make it to where they can make it more potent and all this shit. Like it's none of it's good, man. No.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

That's crazy. Yeah, I I know someone that uh maybe they do have chronic back pain, but uh they go often and now they're they're addicted to look two things can be true at the same time.

SPEAKER_07 15:42

This is a person that needed help, and they are also addicted to these gnarly drugs now. Like that, both of those things can absolutely be true.

SPEAKER_01 15:50

Yeah. I know she asked me, she's like, Do you want anything for because I have arthritis through my entire body, and she's like, Um, do you want to, you know, see a pain management specialist? I'm like, What's a pain management specialist? Like a drug dealer. Yeah, she's like, um, basically they're just gonna prescribe you medication so you're not in pain. And I was like, No, I'm good. She's like, Are you sure?

SPEAKER_04 16:10

And I was like, Oh, pain, okay, that's where it comes from. Pain management. Pain management. Okay. That's the way that's how they call it drug stuff. Right. At the doctor.

SPEAKER_01 16:24

Pain management. I thought it was gonna be like a therapy or like a physical therapy. That's why I asked, because I almost said yes. I was like, Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_07 16:33

It's just a little, like a little room, like an old photo mat booth, and just one person sitting inside giving out prescriptions.

SPEAKER_01 16:40

Dang. Yeah, I told her no. She's like, Are you sure? I'm sure, lady.

SPEAKER_07 16:46

Do you guys remember that photo mat? Where it was just the little so when you go get like pictures developed before, you know, yeah, it was just like a little standalone building. Like a little tiny little place where only like one person worked in there, and it was like a drive-thru. You go get your pictures. Like how some uh how now it any what any of them that still exist, they're uh smoke shops now. Like just the little build just like the little like when you get like your keys, there's right, yeah, exactly. That used to be like a little doo-doo there with your pictures, and then they would get to see your naked pictures too.

SPEAKER_04 17:23

There's there's one over there uh by in Norwalk where we go to the movie theater.

SPEAKER_01 17:28

SPEAKER_04 17:29

There's one there and it's uh it's a sm a little smoke shop.

SPEAKER_07 17:32

SPEAKER_01 17:43

Like, wasn't there a movie um that he used to develop the photos? Yeah, it was a Robin Williams. Robin Williams. One hour photo. One hour photo.

SPEAKER_06 17:51

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 18:02

Yeah, I always just my parents had it and we used it, or we used like the disposable one.

SPEAKER_07 18:06

SPEAKER_01 18:08

Yeah, and I was like, uh, am I doing this right? Can you fuck it up?

SPEAKER_07 18:12

SPEAKER_01 18:12

It won't load in.

SPEAKER_01 18:21

Yeah, I mean it like closed and then it let me like.

SPEAKER_07 18:24

SPEAKER_07 18:31

Yeah, you should be. Okay. It wouldn't do it if you weren't.

SPEAKER_04 18:41

Pull this out and put this in there. Man, the 1900s was so much worse.

Do they have like a digital version of it now? I don't know. There's still like the shitty LA Weekly now, but it's like so it used to be thick, and now it's like this little thin ass little new. And it was free? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:16

Wouldn't it turn into like a bunch of ads?

SPEAKER_07 19:19

It was always a lot of ads because that's how they paid for it, but there was cool ads, you know. And in the back was um all the concert venues and like and all the calendars for what was coming up. Like that's how you would find out like what shows were coming to town was all in the back of that. And then after that was the advertisement for strip clubs. But so it was like that's which were those were good ads too. But yeah. So and then in the front would always be some kind of they're involved in the community a lot.

SPEAKER_01 19:46

It still trips me out, like um what was it called? Uh the guide. What is it called? TV guide, remote TV guide.

SPEAKER_07 19:53

Sure. TV guide, Thomas guide. So you had to have the TV guide in your house to show you what was on TV. And then you have to have a Thomas guide in your car to show you how to get places. Like you had to have this people like it makes me laugh. People are like, oh, I'm so old. I used to have to print out directions on MapQuest. It's like I remember when that was like that cutting edge of technology, you know, like get the fuck out of here.

SPEAKER_01 20:16

My dad taught me how to read a Thomas guide. Hell yeah. Yeah, so we we had one, and then he used to tell me he used to sit, and then I used to sit in the front, and then he used to be like, okay, open it up. This is where we're going. And then I was like, so now I'm really good with like my sense of direction and where we're going, and then like, hey, da da da. I can't tell you what like the names, but I can tell you I can get there. Hey, it's gonna come up in half a mile. I I know what a half a mile is, I know what like those things are at least because of that. I was like, okay. Or do you remember when you had to call 411 to get phone numbers?

SPEAKER_01 24:52

Yeah no I learned it from I only called when I would go and stay at my grandma's house.

SPEAKER_07 24:57

Oh shit because she wouldn't like she didn't overvised whatever you wanted to.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

I would tell her I'm I'm gonna be in your room grandma and she'd be like don't come in grandma. I did that to her once I was 18 had just turned 18 and I went my best friend took me to go buy a pack of cigarettes because I wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes of course because you're 18. Come on man and then my parents had left so my grandma was uh taking care of us at her house because we still needed supervision at 18 but she was inside and then my friends were outside and then I told her grandma um we're gonna be outside but don't come outside okay if you need me yell at me through by the door and I'll come to you and I'm taking the phone with me and I took the house phone with me so she wouldn't answer in case my mom called yeah she just went with all that she's like she's like okay I just had to buy her jack in a box I'm not suspect none of that seems suspicious at all like that's I just had to buy her jack in a box tacos and um a McDonald's uh apple pie and put the novellas and that was it like all right we're good see you later yeah she was like all right I don't give a fuck what do you do have a good time while I smoked the whole packing gross and I never smoked a cigarette again in my life that's good so that's what everybody has to do smoke a whole back I've never smoked at all I've never smoked a cigarette at all you ever smoked cigarette at all no way no both my parents are smokers like it's never had any see I feel like that that's so you just have a natural raspy voice?

SPEAKER_04 26:34

I mean yeah I mean I don't know I feel like that happens whether your parents are smokers and then you become a smoker or they don't I mean what other options never mind that was a dumb thought yeah it's either one or the other so if your parents smoke either you smoke or you don't no like I think I feel like that was my realization I get what you what you're trying to say is like you would think that because your parents smoke you wouldn't want to smoke but sometimes it's the opposite and they pick it up even earlier you know they see their parents do and then they pick it up I I speak uh I speak Gil that's what sure I knew I knew what he was trying to say well my dad's my dad smoked the only thing that that I didn't like is when we used to we used to uh like we used to bounce around a lot when I was little and we used to be in motel rooms and this guy would smoke in the motel rooms and it would get all over my clothes I would be like 13 years old going to school my teachers thought I would smoke and I'm like I I'm not smoking. I agree and I'm getting interventions at school dad yeah can you stop so I did I told him I was like hey can you like go outside and he was like look the best thing I can do is is go to the restroom I'm sorry I'm like all right if that's the best you can do right outside seems better right I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand why hanging out in the bathroom is better than outside did he used to like sit and smoke or did he like lay and smoke? Like maybe he was more comfortable in bed I don't know no no he'd sit sit right there at the little table and this fool a chair go outside.

SPEAKER_01 28:24

No because I had an uncle that was like addicted to smoking and he would legit wake up from like being asleep to light a cigarette and smoke it while he was like just kind of like halfway sideways.

SPEAKER_04 28:37

There's nothing there's no better feeling than laying in bed and having a cigarette. So you have done it and yeah like laying down what why is that ill I don't know because you're smoking inside I guess I don't know I it just it feels free. I don't know it's freedom that's what freedom feels I want I was just telling uh maybe you remember these I was just telling uh a friend of mine about how so uh my first job I will used to push carts at Walmart. Okay. So that was my first job a cart pusher for Walmart and I remember the HR lady my it was my first day she's showing me where all the break room is and stuff and she showed me this room with like a glass big glass window and a door there was a couple of people in there and it was like really smoky in there. I was like what is this place? And she was like okay well if uh she was like just don't go in there and I'm like well I'm gonna go in there it it looks cool and she was like that's a smoke room so if you smoke you can go in the room and smoke a cigarette so it was a smoke room inside a break room so these people were smoking inside that room yeah and it was it was pretty it was pretty tight it was really cool because I you know my I I'm a I'm a nostalgic freak I like you know and watching like old movies you see people smoking in restaurants in hospitals people smoked everywhere no problem even doctors smoked smoking a cigarette delivering a baby no but pregnant women smoked yeah that's like a 50 60 yeah crazy yeah no problem everyone was like no this is good for you yeah well at the beginning that yeah like no this is everything's fine why are you guys complaining yeah and then they even made like cigarettes for women that looked like more Virginia or the Virginia slims right slim little guy I remember this uh there there was this little old lady they used to smoke Virginia slims in the little smoke room that thing was cool I liked it well look I want to smoke one cigarette and I'll tell you which one Mexico just came out with a cigarette that tastes like peppino oh you know what I tried that at Miguel's birthday party that's right I was trying to think I was like who told me about peppino pepino dude they got it they have some really awesome scientists hilarious working on that stuff and pepino all the way can you pull up I want to see what the pack looks like how how do you design a pepino flavored cigarette have you seen Mexico's uh yeah I've seen them I I don't like them have you seen them I don't like them at all they put now they put um pictures of like oh hilarious like bad stuff really bad stuff this is where your heart lungs looks like this is where you're remember the lady they used to be like this is what happens when you I was like oh my god oh they're Paul Mall that's who made them so is it cucumber and like mint and lemon lime I don't know oh they got some tahine on them right I was gonna say over here somebody sprinkled tahin on there so these are available in Mexico yeah only in Mexico oh so you know what I think one one little so there's two of those little balls in there and if you if you punch one it's peppino and if you punch the other one it's lime. Oh I I I'm thinking that's what it is.

SPEAKER_07 32:34

I'm gonna go it it I think about all the time either dry now I have another destination because my first destination was Nevada to go get a bunch of menthol cigarettes and bring them back to sell and now I'm gonna go to Mexico get some peppinos and bring them back. I would be the cigarette every day I think about like going into the cigarette business.

SPEAKER_04 32:58

Do it dude that's what my dad did my dad used to sell he used to go to downtown he used to go to downtown LA buy cartons and cartons and cartons and he used to slang them dude on the side think about it all the time.

SPEAKER_07 33:12

Do it like just go into the I guarantee you right at the state line there's someone that sells a bunch of mental stuff you know because I'm not the first idiot to think of this. No. Now you go and buy a bunch of cigarettes that aren't available here and then come back and sell it but now I'll go to Mexico too so I could corner the Spanish speaking market.

SPEAKER_00 33:29

There you go.

SPEAKER_07 33:30

You know and introduce it this is how things cross over that I'll introduce them to some other people like what is this?

SPEAKER_04 33:35

I'm like oh that's some exclusive shit premium Mexico shit I gotta go through the cartel to get these you don't even know. So Nevada's selling the the original well just only California isn't they're not oh so it's just California.

SPEAKER_07 33:52

Yeah yeah yeah no so I'm I imagine California Arizona any in any of these states that border us if they're smart there is at least one store set up exactly on the state line because like when I lived in Minnesota um fireworks are illegal there but in Wisconsin which is the next state overything's legal any kind of fireworks you can you want is legal so right across the border as soon as you cross into Wisconsin there's Best Buy sized fireworks stores. You know like so it's on the we went there on the 4th of July and we're so stupid so we go and buy and they have like TVs above like here's the boxes of all the stuff and here's a TV above it that shows what it does. Like mortars like fucking crazy shit whatever anything you want like it was there. And so we buy whatever bullshit we buy and we go and I mean you know and we go back to the dude's house we were staying at and we were all scared because they're like oh yeah it's illegal here. So we're like letting them off during the day and like trying to just like not do like oh you know uh just do them one at a time and like try and then nightfall comes and the whole fucking block explodes. And it's like oh that's not it's not that kind of party they don't care we heard it because none of us were from all of us were from California. Yeah. Everybody that moved there everybody was from California so we had no idea what was really going down. You know but they didn't they didn't give a shit they didn't care they were like we're like we understand that Wisconsin's 45 minutes away and you could buy any kind of firework there is yeah that was awesome.

SPEAKER_01 35:32

So menthols are just what? They're minty? Yeah yes that's it so that's it so you want the burn from the mint and the well it supposedly it makes it easier to smoke too because it's like freezing it.

SPEAKER_04 35:47

Yeah it's like a a soothing menthol it's like I don't know like a like mix vapor rub except a cigarette. Right. So why have they ban them?

SPEAKER_07 35:57

Uh because of black people it's true it's true it was to protect it was to protect black people is really what the because they said that they disproportionately they disproportionately smoke menthols and so this is gonna like help the black community not like is 100% what they said.

SPEAKER_04 36:15

It's so I think there was like something where like I know for sure it was uh the camel crush yeah the camel crush it those were crazy it was getting wild yeah it it was a cigarette that uh was like a uh a regular like tasting tobacco and then there was like that little ball that I was telling you about inside the filter and when he popped the filter it uh made the cigarette uh a a menthol cigarette so it was like a two and one break it at the end yeah so it was a it was like a two and one thing and I heard something that uh those were like getting really bad for you because if you smoke them a lot the menthol crystallized in your lungs and once I heard that I was like is crazy. I'm not doing that. Only those though everything else is fine else was I went to camel wides 100s.

SPEAKER_05 37:13

When I used to work when I was a teenager working in a factory there was a guy our maintenance guy Dave Gamay this Dave Gamay died a long time ago that we used to smoke camel non filters the grossest of the main cigarettes you know just like just like a weird like still like 50s pack because there was like the pack was not hard it was right super so like paper yeah he was so gross this food just smelled like cigarettes all the time god damn we we talked about it uh I think last time or like two weeks ago we talked about this one time that we went to Arizona I think it was like two years ago.

SPEAKER_01 37:51

Yeah and we were just going to get Gil's passport so we were just like we drove and then we were going to come back the next day.

SPEAKER_04 37:58

So we stayed at like a Motel 8 and then um they told Gil they were like oh we're you know all our rooms are non-smoking so we need you to sign sure a waiver saying that you're not gonna smoke and he's like yeah and I was like oh perfect I had to put deodorant on my top lip and in my nostrils walked in and he's like how come this smells like smoke it was so it was bad bad we could taste it I could taste it in my mouth you guys were the first people they made sign it up until then up until then you can smoke in there you guys are first no more the next day we left and our everything everything that we had took in our bags everything smelled like we had smoked packs and packs of cigarettes but you know what they do they're they're sensors they're sensors I'm pretty sure people they go in there they take them off and they smoke in there but that's so weird because they should be charging you like a deposit fee once they get in there and find out that you're smoking inside a non-smoking I think it was just years and years of smoking abuse.

SPEAKER_01 39:01

Sure this is just a lie I don't know because it just smelled so bad. I think they gave us the wrong room honestly but I thought the whole facility was non-smoking because you can't smoke inside your room anymore oh but it was Arizona I don't know about yeah you can you can I'm pretty sure look it up California I have no idea it was Arizona we were in Arizona oh Arizona you're still allowed to do it every day oh okay so maybe yeah well we were stinky as hell because even like in Vegas there's still smoking rooms yeah yeah that's true we went to Japan wait can you do casinos too you can smoke in casinos still no uh some most of them most of them right not weed though which is a bug no so you could smoke cigarettes but not weed yeah what did you say about Japan oh we went uh a little before like a couple years well not a little before but it they had they just stopped like smoking in public oh sure like inside and then it's like the weirdest thing because you're on the street so you can't walk be walking and smoking a cigarette either oh really so you have to go to designated this is what you smoke at yes and they're literally like like squares sure like a six by six square like a wall like a wall like this and everybody's in there like sardines no they're smoking like this because they can't like do this movement. Oh shit because it's there's so many people in there upside down yeah but I don't get it I'm like it's just a fucking wall yeah what what are you covering?

SPEAKER_07 40:36

Just stay the fucking but you could drink publicly well that's you know people were opening cans in the sidewalk it was like Vegas but without smoking so I was like what the hell gabbling yeah make it make sense I don't know I wonder if Chuck Norris smoked probably not huh probably not if I sad about that dude I mean whatever this is this man was 80 whatever years old like this is this is what happens to 80 something year old people what was he famous for anyways in the 70s he what he brought uh karate to white people that that's 100% are you serious oh yeah he was like a kickboxing champion didn't did he ever like fight or like do an exhibition Bruce Lee uh no he was in he was in a movie with Bruce Lee I think I've seen a clip of that yeah but I don't Bruce Lee never fought nobody Bruce Lee was a fucking dancer yeah I think there's a clip out there of Bruce Lee and uh Jackie Chan somewhere no yeah Jackie Chan came up under Bruce Lee I think it there was like a movie right like one of Jackie Chan's breakout movies he covered uh Bruce Lee after Bruce Lee Bruce Lee versus Chuck Norris oh is it real I mean it's in a movie oh it's in a movie oh so they were more like stunt many right stunt many and getting naked oh dude this guy looks young about to show you that hairy chest oh happy trail he's all hairless that's awesome gotta have a cat's a lot of buildup already instead of fighting let's work out damn I wish I could crack my body like that let's fight ghosts what are they doing you can't crack that much I can't let's fight let's fight and you're like all right but obviously let's warm up first we can't just go we can't just fight obviously we need to stretch and you know do some calisthenics we can't just jump in to fight one of us might get hurt if we just start fighting they just walk away

SPEAKER_01 44:03

We can't fight where we stretch.

SPEAKER_04 45:05

No way.

SPEAKER_07 46:03

This is like the difference in seventies movies. This whole thing could have been thirty seconds. Yeah. It's fucking five minutes. They're so nine minutes. Guys, ten minutes fight. Ten minute fucking fight of these d are you fucking kidding me? Let's see who wins. I mean the people obviously are who wins. The fans.

SPEAKER_06 46:30

Oh, Bruce Lee. Oh.

SPEAKER_07 46:31

Bruce Lee put him to sleep. So put it up. Let me see what held the time. So it was legit an eight and a half minute fight scene. From the basic scene. Well no, they stretched for like five minutes. That was already fighting. They were mentally fighting at that time. Like they were like, that's like when you see animals do that when they start fucking. They were like doing stuff before the fight. That was like a haka. They were getting everybody getting each other fired up.

SPEAKER_01 47:05

They're letting you know what they're about.

SPEAKER_07 47:07

Yeah. So that so Chuck Norris was a karate man who was like a legit, like real kickboxer dude, whatever, who went into acting. And then it started off with that shit and then was in his own movies. What the fuck was the his big one? God damn it. They he went back to um save the Vietnam vets. Like this one. He went back. Chuck Doris Vietnam movie.

SPEAKER_04 47:33

I remember uh Texas uh was it Texas Ranger?

SPEAKER_07 47:38

Missing in Action. That's what it's called. Oh to the right, to the right, to this Missing Action 3. Because there was a gang of them. Missing in Action down there on the night in 1984.

SPEAKER_11 47:48

Ah, where is it?

SPEAKER_07 47:50

Right, to the right.

SPEAKER_11 47:51

More?

SPEAKER_07 47:52

Oh, that's Missing in Action 2. Where the fuck is it at? There it is, right next to it. Over here. Missing in Action. That's the original. That was like the big star-making movie for Chuck Norris. He did Missing in Action. He was to go help the Vietnam vets that were miss that were missing in action, which spawned Missing in Action 2 and Missing in Action 3. What do I remember about those movies? Absolutely nothing. But I know I've seen every single one of them. And then he went on at Delta Force for sure. And then he did a bunch of bullshit and then came back with Walker, Texas Ranger.

SPEAKER_04 48:29

That was like the Walker, Texas Rager.

SPEAKER_07 48:31

That was like, oh, Chuck Norris is back. Like, yeah, that was, you know.

SPEAKER_01 48:36

You didn't ever want to ever want to do karate?

SPEAKER_07 48:39

I I mean I'm I took I took a couple karate classes for sure at some point as a teenager.

SPEAKER_01 48:44

Because I know my dad was like, I wanted to do karate.

SPEAKER_04 48:47

Yeah, because of Chuck Norris?

SPEAKER_01 48:49

No, I think he liked Bruce Lee.

SPEAKER_04 48:51

Oh, Bruce Lee.

SPEAKER_07 48:52

My dad did karate. That was one of his things for sure. Oh, really? Yeah, he would tell like, well, my mom would tell stories that either my dad wouldn't want her to tell, or he wouldn't realize that he's like the asshole in the story. You know what I mean? Like stuff. Like the big one he still like a dude lit my mom's cigarette, and so my dad fucking head kicked him and put this fool to fucking sleep. That's the kind of karate my dad was doing is head kicking innocent people.

SPEAKER_01 49:23

Sometimes when I like I don't want to use the word fantasize, because fantasize means good, right? But when I imagine myself like getting in a fight, I've never been in a fight. But I often think about it, and I wish I knew like that, like where I can fucking just catch it. Head kicks and way? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 49:42

Not even head, but just like if yeah, if if I would had to choose between because we talked, me and Amber talked about it, I think it was like a few months ago, about me doing like a sport, and it would be between jujitsu and probably karate. I think I would go towards karate just because the king did it. Elvis.

SPEAKER_07 50:02

Just because Elvis did it?

SPEAKER_04 50:03

Just because Elvis did karate. I feel like I could do I could use karate on stage. Sure. You could use karate on stage. You can't use jujitsu. You can't use jujitsu on stage.

SPEAKER_07 50:14

Drop down to pull guard on stage.

SPEAKER_04 50:16

You can't.

SPEAKER_01 50:16

And I feel like karate's more disciplined, right? Like you're not gonna really kick someone's ass or not. Well, your dad did, right? Your dad did. You're right.

SPEAKER_07 50:25

You're right. You're right. Never mind. I take him back. Yeah, no. That's oh no, my dad loved fighting. Oh my god. He would start telling my mom would start telling stories.

SPEAKER_01 50:37

My dad would be like, I think if I was an able-bodied man, I'd be like, like that. That or cracking.

SPEAKER_07 50:44

My brother used to like to fight too. Yeah. It was never my thing. I mean, I got in my chair, but it was not something that I was like, hell yeah, tonight we're gonna fucking get drunk and fight some dudes.

SPEAKER_01 50:54

That's why I think that in my past life, I I was a man. Like I know for a damn fact that I was a man.

SPEAKER_07 51:00

You have that energy in there.

SPEAKER_01 51:01

And I did something fucking horrible. Sure, you're being punished. I was like a bad person. So I'm being punished this life. I swear. I just know it. I feel it. I feel it in my past life.

SPEAKER_07 51:15

I know I was a dude and I know I was fucked up.

SPEAKER_01 51:18

Yeah, I was like, all right. I'll take it easy this life.

SPEAKER_04 51:22

We gotta look up look up this kick that have you seen uh Barry? Uh Bill Hater's uh have you seen I I am so late to to shows, dude. Yeah, I am barely on that thing right now. I think I'm on what like the third season now? Mm-hmm out of four season, I believe.

SPEAKER_07 51:41

It drives me nuts. One, because why does every like it's so like it's why it's LA it's it's like an LA show about actors. Like already that's like and it's just like the acting part of it is also unbelievable, you know, and it's like it's just it drives me fucking crazy. But uh that's the that's the unbelievable part. Not the fucking military guy who's a secret. That's not the unbelievable part. The unbelievable part is the acting industry.

SPEAKER_04 52:09

I like it because it's kind of like a very meta type of story because I'm pretty shot it was it I'm pretty sure it was shot in LA. Oh, of course. Talking about the writers in LA, about the the business.

SPEAKER_07 52:23

Yeah, it's all a bunch of writers holding up a cute little mirror, like, oh, look at us. But secretly, we're not nerds, we're killers. Right. We're not, you know, it's like, man, get the fuck out of here, man. So you watched it. You're so yes, you're some turd who moved here from Ohio and has fantasies of fucking being a cool guy.

SPEAKER_04 52:41

Which most most of them, the most of the actors in his acting class were uh were like transplants.

SPEAKER_07 52:48

Of course, because you can't there's one person in that class that's from here, and that's probably somebody with some money. And then everybody else is transplants.

SPEAKER_04 53:00

Right. So, anyways, I was why the reason why I I thought of it because there's this there's an episode where Barry's going uh he he's going out, he has a job and he's going after uh he's supposed to kill somebody, and that guy ends up being like a kickboxing champion. Yeah. And like throughout the whole episode, they're like, it's like n fighting non-stop. And they go to a market, and uh one of the cops shows up, that one that gets Barry to um like assigns him the job, and the dude, the kickboxing guy, like super kicks the cop and like kills him. And this kick is amazing. He kicks him. He kicks him in his face and like he breaks his neck. It is the most powerful kick I've ever seen in a movie, and I thought it was awesome.

SPEAKER_01 54:01

Let me see if I can find it. Kick.

SPEAKER_04 54:03

Yeah. Uh do like bury in a grocery store? In a grocery store, and then just put like kickboxing guy or something. This thing is so is so great. Yeah. Oh, it shows the whole fight, hopefully. It's just silly, dude. There's the whole the whole concept of it is just silly.

SPEAKER_09 54:34

Can you hear me? Yes. Let's see what the hell. I can't get stuck in this shit all night. Go! Right, just black. Go!

SPEAKER_10 54:43

Jesus!

SPEAKER_04 54:45

He super glued his hands to the steering wheel.

SPEAKER_01 54:49

Is that blood?

SPEAKER_12 54:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 54:56

Him and the the the kickboxing guy were fighting in the kickboxing guy's house before this. So uh Barry thinks he's dead and he's he's getting some stuff to to sew.

SPEAKER_00 55:12

He looks like a zombie or something.

SPEAKER_04 55:19

Barry broke his windpipe.

SPEAKER_09 55:40

Come on, man. People run out of the story of the team. Shut the fuck out, right?

SPEAKER_10 56:28

You're not a few.

SPEAKER_09 58:09

What are you doing?

SPEAKER_10 58:10

I said, drop your weapon. What the fuck are you doing?

SPEAKER_11 58:18

Here it is.

SPEAKER_00 58:38

He broke his neck. Killed him. I know, but because he broke his neck. I'm pretty sure. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_04 58:49

Do it again, one more time, one more time. Let me say one more time.

SPEAKER_12 58:51

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_04 58:52

Look at that, dude.

SPEAKER_12 58:56

SPEAKER_04 59:06

One more time.

SPEAKER_12 59:09

SPEAKER_07 59:11

That's like the uh in Jackass the High Five when they fucking flat back bam. It's the best.

SPEAKER_01 59:18

My my mom's brother lost his arm uh like really young. Um in uh a washing machine. You remember? Oh shit. You know how the washing machines used to have uh Jesus Christ, that's like my nightmare. You know how it used to have, but remember they were metal before. Yeah, now they're plastic, but they were metal, and he it like sliced it right off.

SPEAKER_11 59:40

Just Christ.

SPEAKER_01 59:42

Yeah. Is it really one of your fears?

SPEAKER_07 59:46

Yeah, I don't like reaching into the washing machine.

SPEAKER_01 59:48

Okay, well, he lost his arm.

SPEAKER_07 59:50

Yeah. Even when it's off, I don't like re I don't like reaching into it.

SPEAKER_01 59:53

Yeah, yeah, he lost his arm. I think he was uh like nine or ten. So he he was a kid. Oh um and then old enough that you're gonna remember.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:03

Yeah, yeah, of course he remembers. But I'm gonna say, but not if that happens to you when you're three years old.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:07

Yeah, you don't remember.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:08

Like you're fucking ten years old, you remember exactly the day your fucking arm got ripped off.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:15

So so he used to get fun of uh, you know, growing up, like after that, like growing up. Yeah, he used to get what? Made fun of. Oh, okay. And then they used to pick on him and like kick his ass and like you know. Oh my god. Yeah. So you've seen the picture at at my aunt's house. Um, so he he went into karate. He he started doing karate. Oh yeah, so he he's like a black belt in karate, and he has a picture of him like kicking and everything, and he has one arm. But then after that, my mom said like he wouldn't let himself get his ass kicked anymore. Sure. Yeah. He used to like literally like that, like your dad, like bring them down with just like kicking them. And I was like, holy smoke.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:58

That's so funny. He's like, nah, this is this this ends today.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:02

Yeah, and then you said that he used to like kick their asses too. I mean, they were little, and that he just would just do one kick, like poof, and they were like, you know, done. Like, okay. But yeah. So I mean, I guess karate.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:16

You know, karate karate works. It's all it all has its place.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:19

Yeah. But yeah, I was like, whoa.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:22

Did you play any sports when you were a kid?

SPEAKER_07 1:01:24

Uh I played baseball all as a little kid, and then when in high school I was on the wrestling team.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:29

Did you hear about that new uh that new like baseball uh that new baseball thing? It's called automatic ball strike, ABS. Oh, that's you hear about that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's freaking wild. So it's uh it's like a it's like a uh like a challenging thing, right? From from I I'm trying to uh remember what it is. If you could pull it up.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:53

It's crazy to me that I mean that we're getting there with that, but that like football. What is it called? They still have the chains that come out and measure like this like that. Why is this not done with lasers and fucking you know, where you can see all the like how are we still cavemen when it comes? Yeah and it's like it's like oh sports don't matter. This is billions of dollars. Right. This matters a lot to a lot of people. So let's get it fucking right. Like, how are we still guessing? So with baseball, uh like it's getting way closer to we're not just guessing anymore. Right. And like before, like when um you didn't have to actually tag the bag, you didn't have to actually like uh tag out dudes, like you know, if you if you were down there and you missed it, it's like oh whatever. He was at the yeah, and now it's like no, show the fucking replay. He didn't fucking touch me. You know, it's it's becoming a very much more precise thing.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:46

It's called automatic ball strike, yeah. So it's like a challenging system that you can challenge now. You get two two per game, right? Yeah, you get two per game, and you're able to challenge uh a call that the uh the home home umpire makes.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:03

It's crazy how they know. You know, it's like nope, that wasn't a butt. And it's like, get the fuck out of here. Like, we're talking about a hundred miles an hour, like and not obviously not when they're butt dismissed by a quarter of an inch, dismissed by half an inch. These fools are like, fuck no, that was not a strike. Like, let's fucking tee it up.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:23

Major League Baseball is introducing the automatic ball strike AB Automated Automated Ball Strike ABS challenge system for the 2026 season, allowing players to challenge home plate umpire calls. Each team receives two to three challenges per game with successful appeals being retained. Oh, okay. So I get to keep them. Right, right, right. And if if it's a bad call, right, it you lose it. That's done for the game. Using Hawk eye camera technology, the system provides instant, precise rulings, often within 15 seconds.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:03

Wow. Right, it's become and that's I mean, do you think that's why they're doing it? Why?

SPEAKER_01 1:04:10

Oh, because you said bets?

SPEAKER_07 1:04:11

Did you say No, I mean that's it's not why, but it's also there are there is a lot of money on the line. Yeah, I mean, regardless of betting, just like if these teams they all get bonuses for winning games, for going farther in the World Series, winning the Super Bowl, all of this, like there is a lot of money on the line. It's like so let's get this right.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:30

Like, how many, how many games, right? How many really important games were lost because of a bad.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:38

A lot.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:39

Right.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:42

Um, what's his nuts? That pitcher lost his perfect game because uh um Angel Fernandez called like uh I don't even know what we call that up, but I don't even know how to find it. But that um one with that went in my favor is the the old Jeffrey Mayer home run where Derek Jeter hits a home run to the right field, and this kid reaches over and grabs. Oh, and catches it. Reaches over and catches it, and the umpires are like, no, no, that was a home run. And the the the Orioles are losing their goddamn minds. It's like that that one for sure. There's plenty that, especially over the entirety of sports, where it's like this things change a lot if they would have had replay. Not even necessarily where it's like, oh, you can't where it's like obvious, like ones where it's like if all you have to do is watch it twice, you'd be like, that's not how that works. But if they didn't have that, wasn't an option.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:32

Isn't there one which is I mean, I I've always heard it the the Mexico with with soccer when they were in the in the I don't know about that sport, but I'm a fucking American. I don't know what the question But I think it was a World Cup, and it they marked it as like a penalty for the other team they were tied, and then it wasn't people argued, like they still argue to this day, and it's been like uh over ten years. Sure. And I think I'm don't quote me, but But I think that's what it was is that they ended up giving the other team the penalty shot and they scored as well.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:06

Without knowing anything, I would say, yeah, probably. Like, you know, there's there's all across all kinds of sports, there's so many things that could have been settled by a proper replay.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:15

So how this works, players uh which are pitcher, catcher, or batter, must immediately tap their head or helmet to uh signal a challenge within two seconds of an umpire's call. Two seconds of an umpire's call before initiating other actions like walking away or flipping the bat. So you have to like make that call right away.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:38

Eventually it's gonna be like the operator where you call 411 and now it's just a machine. There's not gonna be there's not gonna be any umpires. It's just gonna be.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:49

That's how it's gonna be. In the near future, that's how baseball's gonna be. It has to be.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:54

Because you could self-call it for the ball. Like for the most part, it's like there's so it's like ball strike, like that. Um then there there'd be the very few situations where it's like, all right, we gotta figure out let's call it in.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:06

Well, they show like when you're watching it, right? When you're watching on TV, they show okay, that ball was like 92 miles per hour and it it moves. I mean, there's gotta be something. I'm sure they're doing that technology.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:19

Oh, they are, it's it's it's nuts. And that's I mean, and it's also because that's where the only money left in television is is live sports. Yeah, so they're doing they're doing anything they can to help keep this shit alive.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:30

Yeah. I mean, to watch to to be a baseball fan or just a fan in general, it is so expensive like to to actually just watch to go to games is crazy.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:41

Oh, I mean, even at home, sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:42

Even at home, but go to going to games is like triple staying home.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:47

I haven't been I haven't been to a baseball game in so long. I used to go all the time.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:51

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been for me, it's been a couple years.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:55

Even and then when I moved to Minneapolis, uh huh, I lived walking distance from the stadium there. So I would wait until after the first pitch, and ticket prices would fucking drop, and then I would just like get a ticket on they still sell tickets after sure. Oh like on the on the websites and stuff, and people out in front of the stadium, like uh because that at that time there's still not a lot, but there were still people selling paper tickets. You know, you go there as soon as it starts, it's like like trying to get rid of these things.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:24

Now nothing nobody has paper tickets anymore. No all digital.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:28

Sometimes you could print them out, sometimes you could print tickets, but they're not not like the little rectangle ones, like the cool, like a ticket.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:35

My mom found a jack, or she took out a jacket the other day and she's like, Whose jacket is this? And I was like, Oh, that was my old jacket from high school. And then uh we were trying it on, my sister and I, and then my sister pulls out something, she's like, What is this? And it was a Dodger ticket, hell yeah, and it was still a receipt, too, with what I had bought, and the ticket was like seven dollars or something like that. I was like, Oh shoot.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:59

That is wild. Is what what did you say? Uh Minnesota? Yeah, is that where you sing uh uh what's his name? Mike Tyson? Mike Tyson.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:09

Yeah, yeah. I saw Mike Tyson in Video.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:12

Cinema like a movie theater, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:09:14

Yeah, so I was seeing uh Mission Impossible, one of the Mission Impossibles, I don't remember which one it was, and I leave the movie theater and I hear him. And as soon as I heard his voice, I knew it was him, and he was with, they were seeing um Teen Titans Go. So um So they're seeing Teen Titans Go. And he's I hear him ask the because he's with kids and a lady, and I hear him ask him, did he like the did you like did you guys like the movie? And I immediately just snap. And I'm I don't give a like I play cool, I'm fucking fine in front of celebrities. I don't get like all fucking. But before I even knew what was happening, I was shaking hands with him. Like I didn't decide, oh shit, Mike Tyson, I'm gonna go shake hands with him. It was like I heard his voice, and then I was just drawn over there, like I couldn't, and I just shook his head and I was like, yo, champ, yo, fucking big fan. Thanks for everything. He was like, oh man, cool, thanks. And his hand was like a brick.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:19

Whoa.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:20

Like it was like shaking hands with a brick. I was like, oh, cool, man, thanks, you know. And so then I left. So I leave and I go to my car, and I was thinking, I was like, why was Mike Tyson at the does Mike Tyson live in Minnesota? Like, why was Mike Tyson at the at the movies in the suburbs of Minneapolis? I don't understand what's going on. And then a man appeared on my windshield and fucking rolled off because I was driving. But I was thinking, but all I was thinking about, all I was thinking about was Mike Tyson. Like what like why was he hit him? I hit a dude. I hit I was making a leaving the mall. I was making a left at a stop sign, and I didn't even see the I mean, I mean, yeah, obviously. So I mean he was in the crosswalk and I just took a left right into him. And I was going slow enough to where it was like I see him, like, oh shit. And he like looks and like we make eye contact. And it was like we had a conversation, like that. He was like, Are you gonna hit me? He's like, all right. I was like, yeah, I was like, for sure. I think so. And he's like, look like, why would you hit me? And I was like, I don't know. And he put his hands on my wit, he put his hands on my fucking uh on the hood of my car, and like boom, and I boomed him, and so he's he's down on the ground, and so I'm like, oh shit, like I can't believe I fucking hit this dude, you know, like fucking wild. And so I get out of the car, and he so I knew he was fucked up. I knew he was fucked up because I get out of the car and he looks at me and he goes, Are you okay? And I was like, you, you know, are you okay? And he was like, uh and he's like, I'm okay. You could leave, you know, whatever, I'm fine. And there was a mall security guy, like in the listen across the street, and the mall security was like, fuck no, like, no, you're not just leaving, you know. Like, we're calling the cops, you know, blah, and I go, okay, you know. So this is Minnesota. I have weed in the car. Oh shit. So, and I'm like, oh man, the cops are on the way. So I grab everything out of my car and I walk. There's a um a Jimmy Johns sandwich place. And I had the it was far, it was not, it was like farther than I wish it was. So I walk and I was like, oh, thank God. So I walk inside and I put everything inside the trash bag, inside the trash can, and then I got a bottle of water. And when I come back, the security guard was like, Where did you disappear to? What is going on? And I go, Oh, I had I went to go get him a bottle of water, you know, like here. And I get it to the guy, and the security guy was like, That was really thoughtful of you. You know what I mean? I'm a pretty thoughtful guy, you know. Like, and so the cops come and they the paramedics come and they get him all checked up. He was like not broken or anything, but he had like some road rash on his arm. The cops they come give all get all my information. It's like, all right, you know, and everything was fine, relatively considering everything that just happened. So then they leave, and I'm like, all right, I'm gonna go back in to get my weed, you know. So I go in and it's just but well, when I went in the first time, it was busy. When I went back, there's nobody in there. There's these two young black dudes working behind the counter. And I walk in, and they're like, Can I help you? And I was like, nah. And so I just reach in the trash can and I reach in and I get out my stuff and I pull it out, and they just look at each other like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_11 1:13:51

And I was there the whole time.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:53

I was like, oh, and I was like, I'll see you guys later. And I left. And then uh my insurance paid that guy money.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:00

That is hilarious.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:01

Yeah, it was all Mike Tyson's fault. For sure. I was just thinking about Mike Tyson the whole time.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:06

Just the sheer fact of you just daydreaming. For sure, thinking about Mike Tyson.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:14

Yeah, I was like, I should have should have asked him for I should have taken a picture. I don't know why is Mike Tyson.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:20

Bang! Did you ever find out why he was there? No. No?

SPEAKER_01 1:14:24

No, and I'll he probably go there so that nobody bugs it.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:28

Sure. Probably. And that's one of those things, that's one of like those dumb things that you can't ask. He's like, what are you talking about? If I was like, how come in 2011 you were at the movies in Minnesota? He's not gonna be like, Oh yeah, I remember exactly. He'd be like, What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_04 1:14:45

Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:47

I know. My sister hit a man on on his bike one time too.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:51

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:52

No, she really likes like, yeah, she was pregnant with my niece, and I think she had came from the doctor and they told her she had um uh what's the diabetes you get when you're uh gestational diabetes. Pregnant women get diabetes sometimes when they're pregnant, but it doesn't mean that it's like um like permanent.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:11

You have diabetes for now.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:12

Yeah, you have diabetes while you're pregnant, and I think she was crying, and she was like driving back to her her house, and she was crying because she was like really scared. And I guess from like crying and everything, she didn't see him, and it was like an old man on like a little bike. But she just she says she just kind of like she seen him once he was like it was too late, like he was already there, and she said that he she like hit him but barely hit him, and then that he fell in like slow motion, like whoa, so then she came out and then she was like, Oh my god, I'm so sorry, and you know, she's like huge, really pregnant. And if the man was like, No, it's okay, it's okay, don't worry, I'm fine, and then she exchanged like numbers with him, and then that somebody called in his behalf, and they were like, No, we want you to pay.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:00

For sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:01

Wow, so it's probably I don't know, he didn't get hurt or anything.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:05

There wasn't even like I'm hurt, like I like I fucking you're like, ah, my dick. I've tapped somebody, like I fell asleep on the way to work. Oh my getting off the freeway. And I just I get a red light just kind of as I close my eyes and rolled into the person in front of me. Oh my god. There was no there was nothing. There was no mark there, but that lady She milked it. So she fucking got every penny's worth. I mean, good for you. You know what I mean? Insurance companies are terrible. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:31

But somebody was just telling us yesterday, we met somebody yesterday that they were telling us a story about their brother uh getting bit by a dog recently. He was walking his dog, and then another dog came at them, and I think he tried to pick up like his dogs. Yeah. So he like crouched down, and the and he said it was a uh German Shepherd.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:53

Yeah, it was a German Shepherd that that bit his nose and his lip.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:56

So he bit his nose and his lip, and his lip was like hanging off.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:00

It was not good.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:02

And that the kid was like, No, I'm okay, it's okay, it's okay. Don't call the paramedics, don't anything. And then that they were like, Do you want let's press like not press charges, but have this.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:10

Let's hold them responsible for what's going on with my fucking face.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:13

He's like, No, no, no, because they're gonna kill the dog. I don't want them to kill the dog.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:16

Yeah, he Fuck that dog.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:18

That's what I said.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:18

I was like, So I think when when you don't file a police report, all the liability is on you, say on the guy, because he didn't file a police report. Yeah. But if he did file a police report, then he's able to, I guess, get the sh insurance involved with uh the other people. Yeah, absolutely. So I I don't what ended up happening. Do you remember what he said that they hadn't done anything? They didn't do anything.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:44

Dog bites me, I get in a car accident, any of that.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:48

You're we're but it wasn't even like it's not it wasn't like, oh, he like grazed his skin. No, the dog bit his face off.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:58

Yeah, no doctor even said that he's gonna need it, like if he wants to and probably need he's he's gonna get some like he's gonna need some plastic citrus. Yes at least.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:07

That doesn't just go back together magically, like they gotta go in there and do it.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:11

See, in that case, like, yeah, I feel bad for the dog, but no, but the dog can do that again.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:16

Yeah, absolutely. How many how how many faces does it have to rip off? Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:20

It could be worse.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:22

You get one face, that's it. And what my friend was saying, which he made a point, but still, but he was saying he's like, dogs don't really attack humans like unless they feel like you know, unless they're they're trained to but he says that that he the dog wanted to attack the smaller dog.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:39

Sure, so when the owner got hit, he was collateral damage, but that's so you were just gonna kill my dog and you accidentally bit my face, like fuck off.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:47

Like that this is That's what I thought too.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:51

It's just as bad.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:52

Yeah, but there's something in us humanly that sometimes are like, no, it's okay. I've I've like fallen in places. I remember one time I fell at Ross, and there was a bunch of um someone had dropped uh hangers, yeah, and I didn't see them. I walked into the aisle and I slipped, and one of the hangers scratched my entire eye up.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:13

Like that's my dream.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:15

Yeah, and but I remember being like, I think because I fall often that I'm always like embarrassed.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:21

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:22

So it was one of those, like, no, no, no, I'm okay, I'm okay. Like, I don't I don't want attention.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:26

That's like I I remember my old roommate was like a tall, skinny guy. We went to a mic and he sat on a chair and the chair broke. Oh shit. And never for one second did he think that he is the one who broke the chair. He assumed that this is a faulty chair, and that's like a skinny dude privilege to be like, it couldn't have been you. It's obviously not me. Like, you know, like if I would have sat in that chair and it broke, I would be like, my bad. I've already been thinking, I still think about it now, and I didn't even break it. Like, if I sat in that chair and it broke, I'd be like, I can't believe my fat ass sat in a fucking chair and it broke. All these people are gonna be thinking about it forever. They're gonna be like this fat fucking turn set and chair splintered into pieces. But when you're skinny, it's like, oh, whose cheap ass chair is this? You know, I could have been hurt.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:19

You know, like it's just well that's like what is this cheap ass chair made out of uh aluminum steel? Yeah, bullshit.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:29

Well, that's how I felt. Like it was my fault. Like how dumb. How did you not see fucking hangers on the floor?

SPEAKER_04 1:20:34

Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:34

And they were like, oh, can we give you a discount at least? And I was like, sure, sure. Sure, I'll take that too. They gave me like 10% discount. Can we give you a discount? Now I think I'm like, I could have like call Mr.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:44

Ross right now. I want to talk to the owner of Ross.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:48

I could have been the owner of Ross by now. At least talk to him.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:51

Got me got you a check.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:52

You know what? Thinking about it now, because I was is thinking of how we could have sued people. I wouldn't have okay, so I got bit. I got bit by a dog. Same scenario, probably. Uh I so I was like this, and my cousin's dog walks up, and I'm like humming. I'm like humming something, you know. I'm bored, I'm like 13 years old, and the dog like snap, like like gives me like a little like you know, snap. Yeah. And I didn't think it was nothing. And I looked at my hand, like I covered my face really quick, and there there was like blood, there was a lot of blood, and I was like, oh, like what the and I was covering my mouth, I went to the restroom and like I revealed myself in the mirror and it was like hanging.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:42

Like it was we had to call the ambulance. The ambulance had to come pick me up, and we went, I got stitches. I for like the whole summer, like I was like stitched up. And it was how many stitches? 30, 32. I had 32 stitches, and then I think they had to put some like inside.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:20

Sure, you had to have some stitches.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:22

Dude, so I'm it I mean you could tell, but it's it's pretty good. Yeah, for sure. It's pretty good. And it it's not it's not bad at all, but you know, I was I was just thinking about like my of course my cousin didn't like put the dog down or anything. I was I was pretty pissed. I was mad.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:43

My face is fucked up.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:44

Yeah, I was pretty the It's summer. Yeah, that was another thing too, what I thought. I was just like, I'm gonna I'm gonna look like this for the rest of my life. Sure. Good thing it's not it's not bad. Like it it's I look at it now, it's it's really not that bad. You guys have a scar. Yeah, I mean it's cool. It's like uh like a Joaquin Phoenix. It's kind of like a Joaquin Phoenix kind of thing, you know?

SPEAKER_07 1:23:08

Basically, I'm basically Joaquin Phoenix.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:11

I'm basically, you know, Johnny Cash.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:14

No, you know, really want to get to it.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:19

But I I don't know. It just it's it's a weird thing. Like I can put myself in that guy's position, but again, if a dog bit me at like 33 years old, I'd I'd probably do something. I mean, I'm 12 and nobody did anything for you.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:38

Nobody did anything for you. They didn't protect you.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:40

Right. But I was thinking, you know what I was thinking too? I was thinking, I was like, man, because we're like at a we're doing like a barbecue just us and stuff, and I was thinking the other day, I was like, I wonder like how freaked out my cousins and my sister was. Because I'm pretty sure that they were probably like smoking joints.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:02

Oh shit, it's like we're high, not watching the dog, and now this fool's face got bit.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:06

Yeah, I think about that all the time. I'm pretty sure like my sister was like stoned. And then I can remember like the the whole situation. I just remember getting bit, looking at my face, and then uh getting stitched up.

SPEAKER_12 1:24:21

Hey guys, hey guys, guys, I need some help here.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:28

Just lip ball just hanging us.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:30

So this didn't look used to look like this, and in their mind they're doing everything, and they're just still sitting there watching you. And they're like, what do I do? What's the number of 911?

SPEAKER_04 1:24:42

Like, how crazy it, like how crazy that could have been, you know? I don't know. It was wild. Crazy things happen.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:51

Kids used to get fucked up before. Yeah, dude. Nobody gets hurt anymore.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:55

I mean, I'm sure there's some people that are not getting hurt. No, it's way too much, but it's a lot less for sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:01

Yes, my nieces and nephew have like scratched themselves here and there. Like, you know, nothing crazy. I mean, not that I want to.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:09

You want to see nobody gets hurt anymore? But like I'm gonna take you to a backyard wrestling.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:14

I broke my nose twice. I busted like my eyebrow open. I used to freaking like scrape myself all the time. My sister was always jumping around. She had one of those, you know how when they do um like cinder block fences? Yeah, and then they have that one thing that sticks out. Well, my sister was walking over. We were in Mexico, and she was walking over it and slipped, and one of those Jesus Christ. One of those rods penetrated her leg, her soul, her inner thigh. Oh my god. Yeah, her inner thigh. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_04 1:25:52

Dude, she's really lucky that didn't turn. That's like a major artery right there.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:57

It could have got her pregnant. Yeah, a little bit, a little bit over.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:01

She hasn't you haven't seen her scar? No, her scar is like that big. Oh just on her leg.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:06

Jesus Christ! Because that's not sharp. No, you know what I mean? Like for that to go into you, like that is it. Like you, oh my god, my butthole is clinched so tight. I can't.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:19

And I remember my mom said that that my dad had told her, like, no, like just because he wasn't gonna be able to go to my mom's from Ensenada, so it's close. And that he wasn't gonna be able to go. And my mom's like, no, it's okay, like I can go with the girls. So my mom packed us up and she drove to Ensenada. And when we got to Ensenada, we were good, and then the party came, and my sister that happened to my sister, and then I got the chicken pox on the same day. That is not comparable.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:46

I mean, I don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:47

No, no, no, but I'm saying, like, yeah, my sister got a stab while the chicken pox.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:52

My sister almost died for sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:54

No, but I mean imagine like my mom. Oh, I'm not saying because I'm comparing. I'm saying, like, imagine my mom. Like, she didn't listen to my dad. And then now both of her kids are fucking like suffering. Yeah, that's that's what I meant. No, there's no way. Fuck no. But that's what I'm saying. Like, before we used to, I don't know. Not that I want them to get hurt. I'm just saying there was maybe because we were playing outside.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:20

Now we're gonna be out there breaking kids' legs and shit. Let's go. Like hurting some kids. Throwing sticks at skateboarders, like in Big Daddy.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:31

I know. No, my poor Leo got his bit, his ear bit by that kid, remember?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:36

Oh yeah. Well, kids are biters now, so hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:41

Like from behind. Like take a chunk out of it? No, but he bit him pretty good.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:46

Like Mike Tyson. Yeah, he was back to Mike Tyson.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:51

I know.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:52

Did you have any break broken bones? Um no.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:55

Sprained bones? I mean, I fucked myself up a bunch. Yeah. Concussions and all that kind of shit. My shoulders are all jacked from wrestling, but no like official broken bones.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:04

You wrestled? Yeah, in high school. Did you really?

SPEAKER_07 1:28:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:07

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:08

Yeah, I loved it. That was that's the what wrestling in high school is the only thing that I can objectively say that I was bad at that I still loved. Like I fucking loved being on the wrestling team. And I was terrible. Yeah, by my senior year, I was alright, but for the most I was not good. I was there because I fucking loved, I loved practice. I love hanging out with the dudes. Like it was fucking, I loved wrestling.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:35

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:36

If there would have been like more, or if it had been closer. Because the only because there was still jujitsu when I got, it was just barely started, but it was also all the way in Torrance and I was in Lawndale, you know. Oh, okay. That wasn't happening.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:47

Where's Lawndale?

SPEAKER_07 1:28:48

Lawndale is right like Hawthorne.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:51

Okay, okay, got it.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:52

Over there, Redondo.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:54

So you're you're you were considered um South Bay. South Bay. For sure.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:00

Oh, so you you've always lived in Southern California, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:29:03

Aside from when I lived in Minnesota twice.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:05

Yeah, I've always I've always lived there. Oh, you lived there twice? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:08

I went there the first time to work in a tattoo shop. And while I was out there, I saw like what a strong local comedy scene was out there, like a strong stand-up scene. And then so then I moved back, and I've been doing stand-up like three, four years by then. And when I came back, I started up doing it three, four years in. And I'd never done anything. You know, I was still doing the most I'd ever done is five minutes of flappers. You know, I fucking it was all a theory on whether or not I could do stand-up, you know. So and I I remember there was what a good local scene there was.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:41

Wait, what do you mean? What do you mean by that?

SPEAKER_07 1:29:43

I'm doing open mics in front of nobody. I'm doing like even any show that I'm getting booked on is still in front of nobody. Like it's like it's what am I doing? You know, like can I can I actually do this? You know? And so then I moved. I I had a friend that I knew would let me stay with him for free. So I I went out there, I I worked at the tattoo shop on the weekends. But other than that, I was out there for stand-up, and then I was just crushing, and then was not immediately, but pretty quickly doing real sets on real shows in front of real people. And I was out there for a year doing that, and it was just like, all right. I proved what like it's like, alright, I've answered whatever questions I had. I just needed to know that if I was wasting my time. Alright. Like, I'm back. I'm going back home. Well, I'd like that. So, I mean, I've never told anybody. I stole, I didn't steal his dog. But the dude I was staying with, well, so the dude I'm staying with, he asked me, he was like who's a very good friend of mine. Uh-huh. Asked me, uh, do you care if I get a dog? While I was staying there. And I was like, This is your house. Like, don't ask me, like you can do whatever you want to. So we got this puppy, this little French bulldog puppy, who was a year old, who had had to be rehomed because he had a problem at his last house with the dad. I don't know what the problem was, but he had a problem with the dad. So he moved him over to us, and he was like scared and didn't want anything to do with us. And so we had so, but so he starts living there. But the guy I'm staying with is at work all the time. You know, so it's just me at home with this dog hanging out, super tough. I'm the one who's taking him to walk and do all this stuff. So eventually he just like starts liking me.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:30

You know, like the dog chose me.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:33

It's like this is my dog, like this, and he's like on all kinds of medication and he paid like I don't know how much for. So this dude's already invested all kinds of money into this dog, and then he would come home from work and be like, hey dog, and I was like, Who are you? He's like, fuck the fuck off. Like, I was because we he stayed in his crate all the time, and then eventually one day I came home and he was waiting for me in my bed. And I was like, Oh no. You know what I mean? But it was like I was stealing this dude's chick. You know, like I was like that was the energy where I'm like, Like, how dare you? Like, what is going on? You know, like what like he's on the back of the day. I feel like like I left you alone. Like the same thing, like I left you alone with my wife and now and you fucked her. Like, you know, I thought I thought we were friends, you know. It's like I leave you at home with my dog, and now like the like you think you think it's your dog. And it's like, wow. So I ended up leaving. That was like a pretty big reason. And but the only thing in retrospect, I should have taken him. I should have taken him.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:30

Uh you were gonna say you took the dog.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:32

No, I should have. I didn't because it sounded like he was on like medication. It gets worse. He was on medication, you know. So this is a this little this is a bill. I can't afford this bill, you know what I mean? And so he was he was not, he didn't like people touching him. Like, I only I could touch him. Like, he didn't want like this is a bad dog. It was the first time we see people that they have like a bad dog, but they're like, he loves me, but it's like like he hates everybody else. Yeah, that would this was my dog. Nobody else could touch him. Like, fuck it. His his like collar, if you tried to put his collar on, he'll fucking bite you. Like, I can but I could put his collar on, I could take it off, you know. Like it was cool. And was it Frenchie? Yeah, a little French boy. Oh, those things are so cute. So that whole thing goes on, and I move back and I regret not taking him. And this fool calls me a couple months later, and he's like, hey, just so you know, his name was So his name was Fitzgerald. Called him Fitz at the beginning, but the dog, but like the dog trainer, because oh, because they had to call him a dog trainer, you know.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:29

So that's what's how like right, right.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:31

This is how bad it was. The dog trainer was like, he doesn't like the name Fitz. Like that's it, it's like it's attached to bad things, you know. That's like attached to like his bad things. So he started calling him so we started calling him Gerald instead of Fitzgerald. So it's in Fitz was Gerald, and he was like, I killed Gerald. What? What um he bit a lady, he bit a lady, bit the bit the top of her finger off, and he was like, I had him put down, just so you know. But the way he could but the way he called and told me, he was happy about it.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:58

Like he called me like he wanted to fucking hurt you. He should have taken him.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:04

I should I do you know how much I regret not taking him? You know what I mean? Like I've had to do mushrooms and cry a lot about that. Yeah. R. P. Gerald. Oh my man. He was uh that's the only and all the other times I've had dogs, like our families have had my families had dogs, but I've never had my dog. Yeah, that was the first time that was like, this is this is my dog. And then he fucking killed him.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:29

That's why I feel like I kind of have pets.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:31

Like pets are it's a heavy price. They don't all that unconditional love and all that shit does not come without a price. Like, there is a price attached to that. Like it is, and it is a real one.
