SPEAKER_05 5:11

Hey Matt, what's up, guys? What's up? Dude, tell me why the lactose triggered me right away. It your stomach's bubbling now. I'm lactose. Yeah. Like I think saying, like I've been shitting since I kid. Well, literally, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like I remember I was seven years old, and I still would shit my underwears, and my mom would be like, in Spanish, we say restregándolos. Okay. You know, like she would be fucking hand washing. I feel that for my mom, dude. Shout out to my mom, by the way, for doing that good still. I would have just threw them away.

SPEAKER_03 5:43

But I love dairy. I love dairy. You do? So you still you risk it.

SPEAKER_05 5:47

Fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:48

See, I'll risk it for pizza.

SPEAKER_08 5:50

Yeah. I think pizza and ice cream, you you you risk it. Yeah, yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_03 5:54

But the ice cream more. So now my like lactoseness has evolved into also like I start sneezing and I start getting really, really mucusy. Oh shit. So now I'm like, like right after.

SPEAKER_08 6:09

Like right after.

SPEAKER_03 6:10

Like some etapalana.

SPEAKER_05 6:11

That's how you know it's not meant for your body.

SPEAKER_08 6:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:14

Those are the telltale signs. Like it's literally mucus for anything. Yeah. And people don't gather that. Because even spicy food does that to me. Yeah. And I'm like, nah, it's you know, still good. Hot Cheetos, hot Cheetos. You know, like pendeh on shit. But sometimes I like to suffer like that.

SPEAKER_03 6:28

No, I used to, when I was born, um, I was like in the like the NICU for a while. So my mom couldn't breastfeed me. So then they started giving me like um, what is it called? Like formula.

SPEAKER_05 6:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:40

And I would throw it up. And so then they had to change my formula to soy formula, which I didn't know existed, but soy formula. Yeah. And then after that, whatever, went home and everything was fine. And then my mom fucking continued to give me milk. Oh shit. And then I remember, I remember like during like my elementary days, my mom would make me like a big ass licuado and then like a piece of toast. And I would that's what I would eat for breakfast every day. And then I would be like, Mom, my stomach hurts. And she'd be like, No, you're gonna go to school. Because she knew that I always wanted to stay home. And now that I'm older, I'm like, mom, like my stomach was really hurting. And she's like, I'm sorry. I just thought you wanted to stay home. I was like, well, partially, but I freaking had bubble guts all day in school.

SPEAKER_05 7:27

So she didn't breastfeed you?

SPEAKER_03 7:28

Like, oh, dude, what a jerk.

SPEAKER_05 7:30

I was kidding. She breastfed my sister, not me. Damn, cold-blooded. I know. You turned out fine though.

SPEAKER_03 7:38

I did. I'm pretty smart.

SPEAKER_05 7:39

Yeah. You are smart.

SPEAKER_03 7:40

See, imagine if I had a breast smoke. She's like, Whoa. I would have finished that degree.

SPEAKER_05 7:46

You would have been here. Am I stupid? That's too funny.

SPEAKER_03 7:53

Did your mom breastfeed you?

SPEAKER_05 7:55

Honestly, don't remember. I'm assuming. Yeah. Like I'm just assuming. Probably did it for two months and she said, fuck all this.

SPEAKER_08 8:00

Can you remember that that long? What's the what's the farthest back do you remember? Like being a child.

SPEAKER_05 8:08

Um, I would say fuck maybe like four. Four? Yeah. Okay. You want to hear the story? Yeah. All right. So whatever age, I mean, sorry, at four, whatever schooling you're in at that age, like, I don't know, this is a terrible memory. Preschool. Preschool, right? Yeah. Okay, so it was. So the preschool that I went to had this huge fucking slide. Like huge, huge. I mean, it's huge to us, we're little and shit, right? And I remember this little kid came up to me, it was a boy, and he was like, Show me your thing. I was just like, You show me your thing. You know? And then he goes, Okay, show me yours and I'll show you mine. I fucking show him my fucking pan, right? Because that's what my Thea would call it, would call pan, right? Uh-huh. And this fucker runs away, and I was like, oh hell no. I grew up with guys, so guys taught me, like, we're gonna fight. So I chased that motherfucker up the stairs and I fucking hit him and shit. And I was like, You're gonna show me your wig. You know? And he just fucking went down the slide and cried. And I was just like, Well, you're like, don't be asking. He's probably gay now, for a while.

SPEAKER_08 9:20

You're scared of him.

SPEAKER_03 9:21

He's on a podcast right now, and he's like, What's your earliest memory? He's like, Four years old.

SPEAKER_06 9:25

This girl hit me because I didn't show my dick. It's her fault, bro. Fuck you, Puto.

SPEAKER_08 9:32

He has performance issues now. He can't show any woman. Who knows if he's alive? Or man.

SPEAKER_05 9:40

I don't know. Right? Maybe not in the mode.

SPEAKER_03 9:42

That's kind of where I remember too. I remember Four years old. I remember like TK or preschool memories.

SPEAKER_08 9:48

I only remember like one thing from like being like four years old is like preschool. It was the first day of preschool, and I was playing with uh dinosaurs. That's all I remember. And I was wearing like a I think why I remember it so fondly is because I don't there's not that many baby pictures of me, and like there's the very few baby pictures of me. Uh well, I guess when you're in when you're four, you're a baby, right? Yeah. So um I there's this picture flowing around for uh 40, 56 months.

SPEAKER_03 10:19

What do they say? Oh my god. When people do that.

SPEAKER_08 10:22

I was 56 months down when people do that.

SPEAKER_05 10:26

My baby is literally 15 months, and then it shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_08 10:30

You're in the year.

SPEAKER_06 10:32

Yeah, dude, you're in some.

SPEAKER_08 10:34

He's 17 years old. Get over it. Damn, dude. 2057. So, anyways, the so there's this uh there's this picture of me, and I'm playing with the uh the dinosaur, and I have uh like a raider, uh raiders shirt on. I know, I was all decked out, dude. But um so I think that's why I remember it because there's a picture of me. Yeah, and when I see pictures, I'm like, oh okay, I kind of finally but I don't know if that's just my memory of it or like a false memory that I'm trying to create because from seeing a picture. Right, and I don't I don't I think I've talked about on the the podcast before. I really my childhood is like so hazy, I don't remember shit. And I think psychologically that's my brain like trying to form memories because of the picture.

SPEAKER_05 11:32

That's actually a really interesting theory, if you will, because sometimes I question that too, you know, because I don't know like if you have siblings or not, or or parents and whatever, but everybody has literally like a different version of whatever you know, epoch is what we say, right? And a temple. Um so I'm just like, damn, that's I I get that because I think that too. I'm just like, do I remember that the way I think I'm remembering, or is it because I did see that picture? That's a trick, dude.

SPEAKER_03 12:04

So so like for like Gil, like what Gil's saying is what it sounds like, and we've had this conversation privately, but um, is more it's more like trauma. There's a lot of trauma. So a lot of times your your brain is your brain doesn't know reality, right? This reality, your brain knows what's inside and what's you. So your brain, what your brain does is it literally shuts off certain memories or certain times to like protect you because it still thinks that it's protecting you from whatever something traumatic happened, and it doesn't even have to be anything like crazy, it could be something you know, you fell off the bike and and really hurt yourself, and that's something traumatic. So that's what sometimes with memories, like like when you can't really remember, it's that it's your brain trying to like like but you know what's weird, like harm me.

SPEAKER_08 12:58

Okay, so by by her saying that, you always remember the traumatic event. Damn it, that's true.

SPEAKER_05 13:07

Well, yes. Or do you think that it's like blurred because of the traumatic events, like what happened after? Right, at whatever happened before.

SPEAKER_08 13:16

Yeah, I think because the whatever happened to you, right, traumatic event happens, anything leading up to it, and after, well, at least after your brain's trying to heal itself before that. So all your energy I I don't know. I I'm not a scientist or whatever study. I did study psychology, but I didn't get into memories. I think that your brain is like trying to heal itself and and it's using all that energy to to hold memories, and it's using that those like energy cells to fix itself because of like the traumatic effect.

SPEAKER_03 13:57

Yeah, we gotta look at that.

SPEAKER_08 13:58

That it taken, yeah. That's it.

SPEAKER_05 14:00

But I know I know why this makes me think of the butterfly effect. You know the movie The Butterfly? Love it. Love them. It's a fucking trippy ass movie, dude. Yeah, but it's like kind of similar. Like, you know how he's like, ugh, and then he goes back, and then he's like trying to I don't know, like who knows?

SPEAKER_03 14:16

Yeah, I mean, I mean, somebody knows there's uh uh you know science out there that does, but I mean, yeah, it is trippy. Like, like how can your brain store so much information? And then going on what you were talking about, like how like siblings and you know how everybody thinks of things different. Yeah, there's like literally evidencing, um, because I would I would always tell my sister, like, no, that's not how it happened, yeah. Or my sister would be like, Oh, you know, this and this, and I'd be like, You're tripping, like we grew up in the same house, and you're crazy, like, yeah, and I would tell my sister, like, you're crazy, you know. And then I got into therapy, and then like literally the therapist was like, You need to understand that you both lived in the same home, but your experience and your perceptions of things are completely different. Yeah, she's like, So the way that you coped with something is not the way that your sister coped with it and the way that your sister saw it. So your sister's literally living a different reality than you did, even though you're living it simultaneously. Yeah, it's nuts. But then that's when I was like, Oh, you know what? You're right. And that's when I was able to really like zone in and be like, not because I I know that that or that was my reality means that it's not hers or is hers, you know, or the correct way.

SPEAKER_05 15:38

And I was like, And it's funny that you say that because so like my brother and I, he's he's uh almost four years older than me, he's three and a half, right? And you know, same thing you're saying, his perception was different than mine, but so was our parents. And my parents would be like, we would be like, Mom, remember that one time you whooped my ass because blah, blah, blah.

SPEAKER_03 15:56

Oh, they always forget about it. And my mom's like, Ah, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_05 15:59

She's like, You know los bergaba por no rason. And I'm just like, Yeah, you did, you know? And then it's like my nephews, which are the grandkids, right? They get all fucking, they don't get their ass whooped for nothing.

SPEAKER_07 16:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 16:10

I'm just like, you would have whooped my ass is this. No, so it's just like, huh.

SPEAKER_03 16:13

We we tell my mom, and this is a memory that me and my sister both have. My mom used to comb her hair every morning, right? Like for school. And when we would have moved, she would hit us like with the brush, you know. But what something that we remember, and she will like swear by it, and she'll be like, I didn't do that, la la la. I rem the other people can't see me, but you guys can see me. So that's good. But I remember my mom going like this, like, you know, when you go like this, like with a knuckle, like that, going, no one. Oh, like quick, like you know, like just so you would like doing this. On our head, and my mom would be like, Why would I ever do that to you guys? And me and my sister are like, dude.

SPEAKER_00 16:58

You did it.

SPEAKER_05 16:59

You did it, like there's two people saying, No, you did it.

SPEAKER_08 17:02

Like your dad, your dad's off to the side of your and you're still doing it when you're cutting my hair.

SPEAKER_05 17:07

No, it's my dad's hair. Dude, parents are a trip, man. It's just like they swear they never fucking hit us. Yeah, I was like, You didn't, you beat us up.

SPEAKER_03 17:16

And they should, they should say, Yeah, I did because we know that Medicin, yeah, you know. Yeah, we we didn't get our ass beat. Like, my dad never hit us. My dad never hit us DBS. But my mom, my mom, she knows about like nalgadas and like smacks here and there. Nah, dude, I'm gonna be able to do it. But I'm I'm I'm grateful for it, honestly.

SPEAKER_05 17:39

I'm for it. I'm not saying, you know, I mean, to an extent, because like some of my cousins got it like way worse, you know, thanks for my brother when he was a boy. But I remember this one time, um, I was like almost 12, so 11, going on 12, and my dad had just whipped my brother's ass, and I knew I was next, and then I was like, I could fucking outrun this motherfucker, you know, and so I'm fucking running away, right? And we had this desk, and I'm like running, and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go under the desk, right? And as I'm trying to go under, boom, I hit my head on the desk, dude, and I'm like hiding under there, like and then my dad comes up to me and he's just like, Tú eres la persona más pendeja caco mi vida. And he just walks away, he didn't even whoop my ass, and I was like, Well, fuck it, I got saved.

SPEAKER_06 18:23

It's just crazy, dude.

SPEAKER_08 18:25

Big ass bump on your head.

SPEAKER_03 18:30

My sister told my dad one time, you know, I can call the cops on you. Girl, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 18:35

Oh my lord. Yeah. I've done that, and it's a threat to them. My dad would grab the belt, like he'd be like, oh fucking do it.

unknown 18:44

Like, oh, never mind.

SPEAKER_05 18:46

You know, my my first birthday show that I did when I started doing comedy, I did at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach. And I was like, I'ma roast my parents. That's what I'm gonna do. You know, and then I I talked about it, like how, you know, growing up, my my mom would whoop my ass and shit. And I'm like, he, she's in the audience, everybody. And then she was just like, she had a fucking face, like, I'm gonna fucking beat your ass now as an adult, you know. But she still hits me as an adult, yeah, mom. You know, so jokingly, I was just like, I was like, I was like, this is a cry to CPS, and everyone just started putting the fucking. But she still hits me, like, because like if I drive her car, my brother would like if we're all doing a family like dinner and going somewhere, and we take one car. And my brother will be like, drive crazy, you know, like drive crazy, and I'll be like, okay, you know, because I'm uh you dare me, I'm I'm doing the dare. Yeah. To an extent, you know what I mean? If it's a threat to my life, no. So this fucker, I I start, you know, swerving a little. And my mom's like, ah, said others, dude. She fucking hit me in the back of my head. And I had just I had just done my hair, so it was the eye tips. So my fucking scalp is tender. Wow. And I was like, oh, and it's like you you get that moment where you're just like, I want to hit her back, but you know you can't, you know what I mean? Anyways, yeah, we can delete that.

SPEAKER_03 20:05

My mom like slapped me quite a few times when I was like living at her house. In the face, yeah, but in the face, but I was coming home like blacked out. Oh shit. My friends were scared of her.

SPEAKER_08 20:18

And they would wait till see, like, you know, my mom come out, and my mom would be there, and then I was like falling, and she'd be like, Did you drink? And I'd be like, No, mom, I didn't drink.

SPEAKER_06 21:34

Every fucking person out there listening to this is gonna be like, I know. So it's just not me.

SPEAKER_03 21:39

But I'm not, I'm honestly, I'm not like, I'm my mom, and all yeah, like me. No, like I know what I was around, yeah. I know what I was, I know what I did, I know that I would leave the house and be like, I'm not gonna drink. And then imagine I came back at three, four in the morning, blacked out. Like, I understand. Yeah. So I was like, all right, okay. Like a trade off is.

SPEAKER_05 22:00

I'm for ass whooping for sure. You know, but I like my parent, like, I think like 12 was a cutoff for ass whooping. Yeah. My mom still, like, I remember I was getting my hair dyed in the kitchen, and my dad used to wake up at three in the morning to go to work, you know, so it was like 11, whatever. But we're in the kitchen, so it's kind of far, you know. And my mom's like, and I'm just like, so my friend made me laugh, and I laughed loud, and my mom had the fucking palette whack in the mouth. I was like, oh dude.

SPEAKER_03 23:04

No, she stopped like hitting me like a child hitting me when I was really young. And my mom never really did because I wasn't a bad kid. Yeah. It wasn't, I think, it wasn't until like when I got old. And again, it wasn't every time I came home. I think it was just certain scenarios that really got her on edge. And now I understand because I'm like, damn, like, you know, and then I didn't have a cell phone. I didn't have a cell phone. Uh I forgot back then. Yeah, back then, no cell phones. So she would call like my best friend's phone and I'd be like, don't answer. Don't answer. She'd be like, Amber, your mom's gonna be so mad at me. And I was like, don't fucking answer. Oh, so your friend did, but you didn't. I AFC because her parents, you know, would get her cell phone, and my mom wouldn't give me a cell phone. So I was like, All right, no cell phone.

SPEAKER_05 26:19

Damn.

SPEAKER_08 26:20

SPEAKER_06 26:24

Send me a dick pic. How do you send that on?

SPEAKER_08 26:30

8 equals D with a little bit. Oh yeah, that's how I used to.

SPEAKER_05 26:34

I used to use the capital B and then equal sign, equal sign, equal sign if I wanted to make it longer. And then end it with the the big D. Whoever it was.

SPEAKER_08 26:45

If I really liked you, then I'll put a next one.

SPEAKER_05 26:48

If he had a little one, there was only one equal sign. That's crazy. That's a a crazy time.

SPEAKER_03 26:56

See, but it was like it was almost like very liberating to go out and not have to worry. Fucking worry about being on your phone or anything. I mean, your phone, the the sole purpose of your phone was just to get into contact with the colours. Call and maybe a quick text, but even in the text, it took you forever. So you weren't like oh blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_08 27:17

I got addicted to when texting started coming around. I got addicted to texting.

SPEAKER_05 27:22

Okay, do you guys remember the texting, unlimited texting after 9 p.m.? Yeah. Like even calling room. Everything. Yeah. So it was times where it was just like you had the house phone. So beeper, house phone, and then cell phone or internet or cell phone or one or the other and shit. Like, dude, I remember one time a guy friend, so no guy was ever allowed to call my house. So what he would do is he would call another friend, and then we were three-way. You guys remember doing three hours? Oh yeah. Yeah. So then my friend Erica called, right? But we had multiple um phones in the house. So I'm in my room now and I'm talking to Erica. And then this other guy, his name is Jose. We used to call him Pee-wee. And this fool's on the other line, and he just starts going, uh he literally starts doing that. And my dad was too on the other fucking side. And I just hear the fucking door open and I'm like, ah!

SPEAKER_06 28:16

I'm so scared, I'm gonna die right now. You know? He's like, can't you go to the side?

SPEAKER_05 28:20

And I was just like he brought that up the other day. He was like, when you know Were your dad? My dad brought it up, and I was like, dude, that's a funny story. I'm gonna talk about that shit. Because it's just like he remembers that fucking vividly, you know, and that was embarrassing. That's like, like, why was he even moaning? Pee-wee. Why the fuck were you even moaning? I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 28:40

Fucking things. We need answers. We need answers for real.

SPEAKER_05 28:44

I agree. Because that's a trip to me, you know? And yeah, and then cell phones and then the limited um uh wait, until after nine was the unlimited.

SPEAKER_08 28:53

Yeah, after nine was the unlimited.

SPEAKER_03 28:55

But then you also had remember when T-Mobile came out with your friends? So you could put five people.

SPEAKER_08 29:00

Yeah. Oh and those were the unlimited that was all the that was all the rage in the early 2000s was like picking like your five people that you want to talk to.

SPEAKER_03 29:09

Yeah, because even on MySpace.

SPEAKER_08 29:10

Because on MySpace you had your top five, yeah, top five, top ten. And if you don't want to make people feel bad, you do your top ten, you know, just and you kept Tom on there? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 29:20

Oh, Tom was for Facebook. Remember when Tom came out? Facebook who was the MySpace guy? Tom was MySpace. Tom is MySpace.

SPEAKER_08 29:26

Tom is MySpace.

SPEAKER_03 29:27

Yeah. Facebook is Zuckerberg. Oh, that's right. Tom was MySpace, huh? Yeah, you're right. You're right.

SPEAKER_08 29:33

I don't think there was a Facebook friend person.

SPEAKER_03 29:35

No, it was Tom, huh? Tom was always everyone's like, unless you removed him. Yeah. But it's crazy.

SPEAKER_08 29:41

But he's always your first friend. That way he's he he was al you always your first friend.

SPEAKER_05 29:46

See what that talk about like causing drama. They're all like, let's fucking destroy people's lives. Who's your top five?

SPEAKER_03 29:54

I mean, if you really think about it, that's where fucking a lot of like internet shit started happening of like feeling like, oh, am I good enough? Am I in the top five? Like, all like because now I mean I fall prey to it. Like, I'll look at videos for a long ass time, and then I get off and I'm like, dang, I'm I should be doing more. Right. Or I should redecorate my whole house. Yeah. And oh, I like, and it's why is it because you're watching videos? It's time consuming. Yeah. Control, man.

SPEAKER_05 30:26

Control.

SPEAKER_06 30:27

Just watch my videos now. Yeah. On that note.

SPEAKER_03 30:32

So uh but the videos that you do are are entertaining, they're funny, they're like, you know, yeah, they leave you like happy more than being like, oh, my life's shitty.

SPEAKER_08 30:46

But do you do you get that as a comic and con content creator? Do you get that feeling of, oh, I should do more as a creative person?

SPEAKER_05 30:56

Absolutely. Yeah. Every fucking day I should.

SPEAKER_08 30:59

Because I I that's what you brought up, right? I should be doing more. But I think as a creative person, sometimes we get that feeling. And then sometimes when I get that little like whisper in my head, I just have to stop it sometimes. Because I'm already doing a lot as it is. And I don't need to.

SPEAKER_05 31:17

What whisper are you talking about? The positive one or the bad one?

SPEAKER_08 31:19

Like the one, like you're not doing enough. You're not doing enough. You're not doing enough. Okay. Look at this person. Look at what they're doing. Yeah. You gotta be doing more. You gotta do this. Here, here, and here. And I was like, dude, just relax. I'm tired. That's true. I need to take a nap. That's true.

SPEAKER_05 31:34

I had a conversation with a friend that um he was like, Oh man, dude, I'm so fucking tired. I feel like I gotta do this and this and that. And I was like, dude, it's okay to take a break. Yeah. It's okay to like do you and shit. You know what I mean? He's like, Yeah, but if I don't, then da da da. And I'm just like, fuck. A lot of us get that same mentality. Yeah. You know, for a second, I I I I was feeling like that too. Uh it's up and down. It's up and down.

SPEAKER_08 31:56

Oh yeah, for for me too.

SPEAKER_05 31:57

You know, and then but it is, it's it's a lot, you know, because I have a regular job too, and then I do comedy, right? And then sometimes I produce shows, you know, and then I do sketches. So it does consume you, but it's just like, okay, how hard are you willing to work? Yeah, it's it's it's a lot, like because it doesn't define you on how hard are you willing to work, you know, but it's just like this system that we're in right now, it's it's followers. You need the followers, you need the followers, you know. And they're just like, fuck, but like I want to be just a comedian. Like, I just want to be the one that performs on stage. Like, cool, I don't mind doing sketches. The sketches is what's getting you the followers, yeah, you know, but then you know, it's kind of like, all right, do I always want to fucking play the torta? You know, like of course, like that's my brand. I I I I love it. I don't mind like you can do Thorta remakes of fucking everything out there, you know. But it's also like, okay, but I also am talented enough to play other roles, you know. Like, don't feel like you have to approach me just for the Thorta things, like approach me for everything else. Because originally I wanted to be an actress when I was 12. Straight up, wanted to be an actress. I auditioned for a Suave commercial. Nah. Big time show. I credit, they sell it at Dollar Tree, is all I'm saying. Oh it was better back then than it was.

SPEAKER_03 33:14

Yes, it was it was the the shampoo to buy.

SPEAKER_05 33:17

Yeah. And then, you know, uh like we're signing paperwork and everything, and I'm like, yo, this is fucking it. And then my mom starts talking to the guy, and then the guy's like, So, Elena, are you gonna be excited when Stephanie needs to go to like New York for an audition? And my mom was like, eh? Oh no, no, no. I just started a new job, I don't have vacation time, we're out of here. And I was like, What the fuck, lady? You just ruined your retirement, you know? I mean, she saved me from pedophilia's hull, I'll say it, you know, at the end of the day. So, you know, and then when I was 18, I tried to come on the radio because I was just like, you know, I always felt like there's something there I need to do, like with this fucking boys. Uh and got the job, everything, come home, tell my parents, and they're like, okay, what are the hours and how much are they gonna pay you? And I'm like, oh, it's gonna be uh $14 an hour, and that was a lot of money back then. Yeah. And from midnight to 4 a.m. And my dad's like, oh no, no, no. Eso no es un trabajo para una muchacha de sentencia, and I was like, Whoa. So you know what I started doing? I started coming home at 4 a.m. getting fucked up. Uh payback, you know, it's fucked up and not cool, but that's what I did.

SPEAKER_03 34:21

You're like, I'm coming home, you know, at the same time. I could have been working.

SPEAKER_05 34:24

Yeah, you could have been working, but no, now I'm coming home drunk, dad. It's your fault. I'm just kidding. And then when I was 26, I tried to do Bad Girls Club. And I was like, I love that show. Me too, dude. I was a drunk, I was a fire.

SPEAKER_02 34:35

I could see you on there.

SPEAKER_05 34:37

I was perfect for the show at that time, you know. But then I was like, fuck, this shit is like live and everybody sees it. And I'm like, I don't want my parents to fucking see that side of me, you know what I mean? So I didn't fucking do it. And now that I'm a grown-ass adult, I finally told them, hey man, you're not telling me what to do anymore. Because Latino parents, that's what they do. They want to fucking control you. You do this, you do this, you go to school, da-da-da-da-da. You know? And I'm like, I don't I want to fuck, like, I'm I'm happy. I already did nursing, I didn't like it. Like, I did like it, but I learned a different side of it that I'm just like not for. Yeah. You know, because I went into nursing to help people, to genuinely help people. And that's not what I saw. And I'm just like, man, fuck this. Like, this isn't for me, you know? And so it's just like, I already did what you wanted me to do. Like, I did. I was in healthcare for five years, and I learned that this is not for me. Like, it's not, it's fucking corrupted. Like, I'm gonna fucking say it. It is fucking corrupted, you know? It's a crooked ass fucking system. You and you and you and all of us, we're all fucking dollar signed. That's what it is. They don't give a fuck about your health. They don't, you know. So, anyways, we're not gonna talk about that. But um, and I just had a talk with them. I'm just like, mom, dad, this is what I wanna do. Like, it doesn't matter what I talk about. Like, I'm just on stage to make people laugh. That's what I do. Because growing up, so my parents are from Guatemala, and growing up, there's a comedian in Guatemala, his name was Velorio. Super, super fucking well known. I wish you could like find something about him, but it's so old, it's not like the greatest, but on YouTube, like, so it's uh V-E-L-O-R-I-O. Velorio. V-E Velorio chistes, look. Oh, right there. Yeah. Yeah. He's so fucking funny. Like, uh, do they have any live? Okay, try that one where he's there, he's standing. He's like ready.

SPEAKER_03 36:28

You'll have to put on the headphones if you want to.

SPEAKER_08 36:35

Ay, bold. My matrimonio is divino, me casé con un marino, compré un yate and la pasamos navegando. Navegando y navegando. Ay, my sponsor compré una avioneta, we pasamos volando, volando, volando.

SPEAKER_00 36:57

Y vos, my marido is bien pobrecito, muchacha compré una cama and la pasamos pisando.

SPEAKER_05 37:07

So he's like old school comedy, like the very quick, you know, quick jokes and shit. Where now, you know, I feel like I'm a storyteller. And I grew up listening to him, because you know, in Guatemala, that's like, oof, that guy's a big fucking deal. And so my dad would just play nothing but jokes de Velorio, like the disc and shit. And I'm like, he's so funny. Like, my dad's laughing. My dad likes this guy. And then my dad was always the comical one, the jokester, the one we always had parties, and he would just be in the bola, you know what I mean? Just yeah, just making everybody laugh. And so, like, that's where I get it from. Like, I get my humor from my dad. Like, I love my dad, I respect him, you know what I mean? And I think he realized that he's just like, oh shit, like this is really what she wants to do, you know, and same thing with my mom, because you know, I had to go through my mom first to get to my dad because I was just like more concerned about like my dad like hearing some of my jokes, and then my mom too. But now it's to the point where it's just like I just talk about anything and everything, and my mom just cracks up, like, because it's it's just humor at the end of the day. But that guy, that guy right there, man. Hopefully one day I'm uh the Guatemalan uh comedian that people are gonna remember. That guy's a classic, dude. I really want people to fucking listen to his shit because he's fucking funny, like he traveled everywhere, he performed everywhere, even in LA, like America and all this shit. Sounds like that. So it's crazy, man.

SPEAKER_03 38:30

But that's I mean, that's commendable of you because it it is hard. And I think that when culturally, when people there's sometimes people don't understand that we're conditioned to have this, like your parents are the pinnacle of your entire world, they're at the top, right? And anything you do needs to bring like honor to them, or you know, these things, and it's like no one understands how hard it is to live to have to like constantly be trying to reach that or to continue to you know be what you think they want you to be, and it's it's it's hard, it's hard because you start living for them and not for yourself.

SPEAKER_05 39:18

That's where I was like, okay, I I I already did everything you wanted me to do. You know what I mean? Like, I successfully avoided being a stereotype of Latina, you know what I mean? Like, I don't have two baby daddies, I don't have any baby daddies, like you know what I mean? Like, I I avoided the stereotypes, and I'm like, come on, dude, like let me let me do this for me. This is like, this makes me fucking happy, dude. I'm so I've never been so happy. Like, I when I did nursing, I thought I was, and it wasn't, you know, and this there's times, so like I'm gonna just throw it out there. There's times where I have a condition, it's called chronic idiopathic urticaria, CIU. And chronic meaning it's more than six months, idiopathic meaning they don't know why this is happening to me. And urticaria is for hives. So since uh 2016, there's times where I would just wake up covered in hives from head to toe, swollen lips, swollen eyes, swollen ears, you know, hives everywhere, and I cannot breathe. I cannot physically breathe. And I had an epipin with me every fucking day. And the first years was hard, you know, because I'm like, why is this happening to me? And we couldn't figure it out. We couldn't figure out. I got tested for every fucking disease out there, you name it. Couldn't fucking figure it out, you know. Um, we got the house exterminated, we removed carpeting, we put flooring, I bought a new bed, I bought new furniture, I uh, you know, baby, uh baby, uh, what is it called? Detergent. Like, I went vegan for five fucking months, six months. Like, I tried it all, dude, and everybody was joking, like, bitch, you're probably allergic to dick.

SPEAKER_01 40:57

And I was like, oh how dare you!

SPEAKER_05 41:01

I tried it all except for that. Yeah, no, you know, and then so like that shit like fucks you up mentally. Like, I'm not gonna lie, there was a point where I just was just like, well, just fuck it. I'm just gonna kill myself because I didn't like that life. I don't wish that upon anybody. Yeah, I truly don't, you know. But when you find that fucking that purpose that that genuinely makes you happy, like fucking go for it, you know? And that's what I finally fucking did. I just was like, I'm gonna fucking go for it, and I love it, and this really makes me happy. I'm fucking blessed. I could be tired as fuck. So, point being was um even when I was doing comedy, uh, you know, I started about three years ago, it was still happening to me. And I said, Suck it up, buttercup, you're gonna go to the fucking show, you know, or or sketches or whatever. And I'd be like, Oh, dude, sorry, like my eyes are like swollen, I have some hives, you know, but I'm here, like, you know, because I didn't want to talk about it to anybody. That shit was embarrassing. If I show you fucking pictures, you'd be like, holy shit, what the fuck is wrong with you? Like, unrecognizable. You know the movie Hitch? Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. That shit would happen to me, dude. It was fucking crazy. But point being is like, even though I had those setbacks, like I'm still willing to fucking hustle and just fucking show up. Yeah. No matter what. Yeah. Like, that's how you know I really fucking want this. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, dude. Thank you.

SPEAKER_08 42:21

I think I think just showing up is half the battle. Yeah. You know, because even though you're I mean, some say that the best time to do stand-up or to do anything that you love is to do it when you don't want to do it. And I feel that, yeah, that's 100% true. Yeah. You know, some days I don't want to do squat, but when I'm sitting there not doing anything, I'm thinking about doing the thing that I love. Yeah. So it's like uh it's like I rather do something productive and you know what I love than to not do anything at all.

SPEAKER_05 43:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:01

And I'm I'm on a different path of my life. Yeah. I'm not I'm on the non-productive side. No. For me, I think that I I've been through a lot, like at a really early age of my life, that right now as an adult, I I feel really tired. I feel really worn out. I feel very like, you know, there's a lot of limitations with my body. I'm I'm constantly tired, constantly in pain, all these things. And going back to what we're talking about, like, you know, just having that feeling of if you don't do something, you're like, oh my god, like I gotta do more, I gotta do more, right? But it's also, and then this is something that I've been talking about a lot, like with my book club or even my friends, even with Gil, it's like I'm coming to the realization that and I can only speak on like saying like culturally, and I say culturally because a lot of people Latinos that I know feel the same way, is that we grow up um measuring. Our self-worth with how much we do. So it's like, how much can you really put on your plate so that you can feel like, oh, I'm I'm doing a lot, I'm making myself proud, I'm making my parents proud, right? And the moment that you don't do anything, you're like, I'm a piece of shit. I should have done more. Why did I lay around? Why did I take that nap? Why did I do this? Like, so we're taught to measure productivity with your self-worth. And I'm on the journey of like, no, I it's okay if I rest. It's okay if I don't do anything. It's okay if today all I want to do is, I don't know, read a book or something. You know what I mean? And it's like there has to be this balance because I was the opposite. I was like, what can I do? What can I do? I mean, we created a business, you know, it's going 10 years, and I used to work 14, 16 hours a day, go home, and then still like think about it and everything. And I was like, man, this is exhausting. Yeah. And it's like finding that balance of still honoring your body and yourself and knowing that you're worthy of resting, of doing the things that you want, but then also still doing all these things that you want, you know, and it's like finding that that blend of like okay, we have to be somewhere in the middle. Because, like you, you know, you can work yourself to the bone, but how far is that gonna take you?

SPEAKER_05 45:26

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 45:27

Body-wise, how far, you know, health-wise, mentally, everything, most of all, because like you were saying, you know, you're feeling like fuck, I gotta do this, I gotta do more.

SPEAKER_05 45:38

Like you're literally attacking yourself, like you know, we were talking about earlier. And it's just like what do you what are you really gonna get out of it? You know, like what are you really gonna get out of it? Is is it it's okay to take like an hour off. You just detach yourself from your phone, you know?

SPEAKER_08 45:53

Oh my god, that's been so good.

SPEAKER_05 45:56

You've been doing that?

SPEAKER_08 45:57

Yeah, uh I've been getting home and just dropping my phone at by the door and just going about my life. It feels wonderful. Even if it's just for an hour or two, it feels so good. And honestly, like you feel like grateful to actually have a phone or to actually be on social media, yeah, rather than having it having access to it 24-7. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05 46:28

Are you saying that you're more grateful when you return to the phone, or what do you mean?

SPEAKER_08 46:33

Yeah, basically. Right. Yeah, because so say if you're on Instagram, right, or whatever, whatever your choice is, whatever pick your poison, right?

SPEAKER_05 46:45

Pornhub, okay. Even hey, even that too.

SPEAKER_08 46:48

Okay, you're you're on whatever you like to do, and you're just like scrolling, going, and and I'm talking about uh a consumer's point of view versus a uh a creator's point of view. If you're a consumer, you're just going, you're scrolling, you're scrolling, looking at this, liking stuff, blah blah blah, interacting. If you're doing that like all day or like for a block of hours, and when you don't do it for a certain amount of time, you feel grateful that you do get to do that because you haven't done it in a while. Yeah, so it feels way better.

SPEAKER_03 47:26

So are you saying it feels like a reward, kind of?

SPEAKER_08 47:28

Kinda.

SPEAKER_03 47:30

Yeah, because you're mindlessly scrolling, you're getting no.

SPEAKER_08 47:33

I get bored just from scrolling.

SPEAKER_03 47:35

I do too. And then some point I'm like, I take it off my fucking phone. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 47:39

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 47:40

It's like you're not even doing it anymore for like pleasure. Yeah. Like it's just mindlessly. Right. Like the first thing I do in the morning is grab my phone. Me too.

SPEAKER_08 47:50

And it's like I fucking need the alarm. But but check this out. Maybe you can agree with me. So we're creators, right? You you create content, I create content, we're all creators. Whether you're uh a comic, you create sketches, you're a writer, you're a creator, you're a painter, whatever. When you were and this is where I I've talked about it before on the podcast, about uh being a consumer versus being a creator. Okay. And when I'm mindlessly scrolling, I have to stop myself and okay, so I want to be a creator, I want to make things and I feel like I'm quote unquote like wasting my time just scrolling. I agree. And when there's I I have like a limit. I may I think it's like an internal clock where I'm scrolling, and at a certain point in my Doom scrolling, I have to stop myself and say, Okay, dude, get off your phone, go make something. Go, go, go, go do something productive other than scrolling because your thumbs hurt right now. You're my finger I'm my arthritis is getting really bad because of the phone.

SPEAKER_00 49:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 49:14

And I think that uh when you determine that w whether you're a creator or a consumer, it really starts to change things, like in your point of view, because then you get to use that time in the stuff that you love or in using that type of energy to to um to really do something that you like.

SPEAKER_05 49:38

It kind of sounds like you know how like everybody right now is saying today's society is so fucking lazy, like the generation underneath us, like they're just lazy because that's all they do. You know, they're they're genuinely not being productive, you know, whereas it's hitting you where it's just like I'm not being productive. I should go being productive. Like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_08 49:58

So I don't know, like uh either productive or get or throwing the phone and doing something else.

SPEAKER_05 50:06

Yeah, well, basically just getting away from technology. Yes, because even if it's like so even if it's like if you're on your cell phone and then you go switch to the TV, like it's the same fucking thing. Like you're just sitting, you're just stuck there.

SPEAKER_08 50:19

You know, you know what I've been doing, Steph? I've been watching like older movies and trying not to pause it.

SPEAKER_05 50:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 50:28

Is it that it sounds ridiculous? It sounds like the dumbest thing in the world, yeah, but it feels so good not to pause like movies. You have like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 50:39

I can't stand the fucking ads on some fucking platforms, you know. So I could never uh I when I watch a movie, I have to watch it. Like, if not, if it's like one day, an hour here and they're like, fuck that. I can't.

SPEAKER_08 50:52

Dude, Amher knows when we're watching movies, like she and she she pauses to like, oh, let me look this up, or oh, I wonder what happened to this person. Let me look the back. I'm just like, stop pausing the movie, just let me watch it. Let's let's imagine, let's just imagine or think about the the the film. Let's just engage in this movie and put the phone away and not Google stuff on what happened to Miss Doubtfire 10 years before.

SPEAKER_03 51:22

He's a no-fo guru in the past year because I'm all we're all fighting. That's funny.

SPEAKER_08 51:29

We gotta fight at least once on the the podcast. On the podcast.

SPEAKER_03 51:32

No, we're not fighting. But he, I mean, yeah, he's right. He's right. Because and that's why we like to go to the we're coming to the really.

SPEAKER_08 51:40

I think that's why. That's why I like going to the theaters.

SPEAKER_03 51:42

Yeah, I was gonna say we like going to the movies a lot because it gives us like that two hours, and it's like we're not on our paths. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 51:51

And you feel s I I I think the guy in the back of us, the last when we went to go see the back rooms, I thought.

SPEAKER_05 51:57

Wait, what is the what is the back rooms? You said that earlier. What is that?

SPEAKER_03 52:01

It's a new It's a new movie that came out. That's the title. Yeah, back rooms.

SPEAKER_08 52:05

The The Backrooms. Look it up. The fuck? Uh yeah, it's very interesting, too. The the It's literally called backrooms. Yeah, back rooms.

SPEAKER_05 52:14

Is this scary or it's like a thriller?

SPEAKER_08 52:19

So good. This young director, he made these shorts on YouTube.

SPEAKER_05 52:24

He's this the 26-year-old director that made this movie. There's actually two of them. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_08 52:29

So there's the backrooms and then obsession. Oh, it's both of them are directed by YouTubers. Oh shit. Young YouTubers. So he used to do shorts on YouTube, and from the shorts, that's how we got the the story if for the movie. For the movie.

SPEAKER_04 52:48

Yeah, so was it good? You guys thought it was good. It's really good. Yeah?

SPEAKER_08 52:52

Yeah, I I thought it was, I thought it was good. It was kind of strange uh towards the end, but I it's uh that was his uh it's one of those movies that you walk out and you're like, what the fuck did I watch?

SPEAKER_03 53:03

Yeah, right? But it's not like in a like oh I wasted my time, it's just it was worth the watch. I I liked it.

SPEAKER_08 53:10

It was very thought-provoking because me and Amber were we were going, we went home thinking about the the ending and just like the overall. Yeah, we're like, oh, maybe maybe it's because of this, maybe it's because of that, you know. Maybe that's good.

SPEAKER_05 53:27

I like those movies that stimulate your mind. Yeah, you know what I mean? Where you're just like, dude, that was a trip or whatever.

SPEAKER_03 53:32

Yeah, so it's it's one of those, definitely. All right, I'll consider, I'll consider watching. But I I can't think of back rooms, and then I can't think of not seeing back shots.

SPEAKER_05 53:42

I know you were saying that earlier, and I'm just like, damn, now was there a sex scene? No, I don't know why.

SPEAKER_08 53:48

Dude, imagine doing it inside the creepy room.

SPEAKER_05 53:52

Or at least one of the that'd be funny if one of the what's that girl right there doing, like at the bottom where she's like over here? Yeah, she looks like she's getting smashed.

SPEAKER_03 54:02

No, she's like um, I mean, I could see that she's scared, she's hiding from something. They're getting smashed and they fall through the yeah, don't don't give it away from her. I mean, I'll forget, so that's fine. There's no sex. There's no sex. I'm not watching it. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 54:19

No, but that's good. Like, you know, like, okay, so I did go see Mando and Grogu.

SPEAKER_08 54:24

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 54:25

I saw that shit in 4DX, dude. My first time experiencing.

SPEAKER_08 54:29

Is that where you feel like the the wind and yeah, we we did that water?

SPEAKER_05 54:33

Oh, water. It was rain. And I was like, because in the scenes, like it's like whatever the fuck is in the scene is happening to fucking you. You know what I mean? So it's like four chairs are connected. It's kind of like uh what's that one ride in Disneyland? Yeah, like Star Tours. Um, no, there was one where you're like sitting and then you kind of go up and then you kind of go like this, and then feel the wind, and then smell of something. Um, no, no. It's uh soaring, yeah, soaring over California. So that's what it reminded me of. I'm a little more aggressive though, obviously. Like, you know, my neck cracked for sure. Lawsuit AMC coming. It's the weaponlight. It's fucking crazy. You're just like boom, boom, boom, boom, you know, and then the rain, I was like, oh hell no, my fucking extensions, like, you know, going crazy and shit. And then like fake snow, and then the wind, all these things. So I thought that was a dope ass. First of all, I love Star Wars. And I thought that was a dope ass movie to watch in 40X. Where did you watch it? So um there's a little mall in Buenaparte called well, it's not little, but it's called The Source. Okay, it's on Orange Thorp, and they have the the 40x. It's the one that's the big building. Is it a big building? No, I know there's like at least three. Is it like an outdoor outdoor mall? Okay, yeah. Three or four floors.

SPEAKER_03 55:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 55:52

Um, so they have it in there, yeah. So I uh Regal. I feel like I'm saying Regal, I don't know. I can't think of it. Yeah, it might be one of those. But it's uh Orange Thor as it's at the source. They have the movie theaters there, and I thought that experience was fucking dope as fuck. Like it was cool because I like Star Wars.

SPEAKER_03 56:07

You know, we watched um Mortal Kombat, nice, and we watched it at a theater, a little theater that we like to go to in Norwalk. Yeah, and it's the same concept where it moved us, but there's no like wind or anything. It's a little like you know, not not as invited as well.

SPEAKER_08 56:22

It's not 4D, it's just the movement of the seat. Yeah, yeah, there's no like wind. And that was a good fucking movie.

SPEAKER_05 56:29

Their fight scenes were dope. Yeah, I watched it too, but regular. Um we were like, what?

SPEAKER_08 56:33

Yeah, we even seen uh Michael in the same uh like theater. Wait, did we? Or was it just the sound?

SPEAKER_03 56:44

What? No, no, Michael was just in the we seen it in another theater that was like I know I'm trying to think. I'm like, what where was moonwalking?

SPEAKER_06 56:57

That's fucking no Michael was uh interesting. There, Gil. The sound, the sound.

SPEAKER_08 57:03

That was like an Egyptian.

SPEAKER_06 57:07

I didn't even look at him. Were you watching the movie? Did you see his dance moves right now? No, I didn't see it.

SPEAKER_00 57:14

That was my impression.

SPEAKER_06 57:16

Show Michael Jackson and show what he just did. Jesus, dude.

SPEAKER_08 57:22

That's how I dance.

unknown 57:23

Funny.

SPEAKER_06 57:24

There's a lot of good movies coming out, though.

SPEAKER_05 57:26

Yeah. I know I haven't seen the Michael one yet. I really want to watch it. Oh my god, did you cry twice? You did? Yeah, I was like, I need to watch it. Did you like it or are you just saying No, I liked it. No, he's a he he's a really big Michael Jackson. Yeah. All right, let's just get it fucking out there. I'm a big Michael Jackson. Do you think Michael Jackson fan? Do you think he did anything to kids? No. I don't either. No. I don't think so. I don't think like, like, why the fuck would this motherfucker create the Neverland? Do you know what I mean? Like, I I genuinely feel like he was trying to help kids because that was taken away from him. I did too. You know? And it's just like it's crazy the the stories that you hear.

SPEAKER_03 58:01

And and uh and the majority of like the kids that were investigated all said no. Exactly. He was never convicted, never tried. There was nothing. I mean, they followed him for like 20, 25 years of like trying to get him, and there was nothing.

SPEAKER_08 58:18

Was it that long? 20 years?

SPEAKER_05 58:20

Yeah, it was like it was from when he went to black to white.

SPEAKER_03 58:22

No, okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 58:24

They were still after him when he was still.

SPEAKER_03 58:26

But even like the families hey, that's when it started, right? So there's there's one family, and I was watching a case that the case, and I guess they came out again, but there was a particular family that he helped that were the ones that brought up the allegations. So after he helped them, like he helped them a lot, and the mom kept wanting more and more money. It was a greedy ass bitch, yeah. So once they try to stop, like, okay, like this is too much, and she would be like, Oh, my son needs to go and sleep with you, Michael. My son needs to go and be at Neverland Ranch, and I'm gonna bring my other kids and like stuff like that. So she started becoming really intense, and once they started trying to stop her, is when she started like all the allegations, all the allegations, the kids, but I didn't know that later on she uh would get arrested for check frauds. So she had like like a lot of check fraud.

SPEAKER_05 59:24

Wow, so I'm like that's kind of fucked up. Like these parents, a lot of these parents were, like you said, pushing them to go sleep. They're like, what kind of fucking parent allows? I was never allowed as a child, and I ain't nobody. You know what I mean? Like I was never allowed to sleep over anybody's house, not even a cousin's. Like my parents were fucking strict with me. You know, you're ahead of the game. An adult, uh and you're gonna let your kid go with an adult, just because he's a celebrity? Like, what's the case?

SPEAKER_03 59:50

It's like um Gil won't know this, but you know, like Gloria Trevi? Uh-huh. Do you know the story? Like, I I've watched the So that you watch the thing, right? So you know how like Sergio Andrade when they'd put all the girls into this house because he was gonna make them famous? Yeah, they were children too, and the parents are like, okay, yeah, stupid. If it's gonna be famous.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:10

So for our listeners that don't know, mainly me. So for the listeners that don't know mainly.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:16

So Lore Trevi is this like singer, right? But she started singing when she was a kid, and then she joined this like group, and there was this man that was a music producer, Sergio Andrade, and he was an older man already at that time. And he would tell the parents, like, oh, let your daughters join this house. So he had like a house where all the young girls would live. Pretty much our girls. Yeah, like an R. Kelly. And even R. Kelly, like when you see the thing of the parents letting their kid their fucking 14, 15 years old.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:45

Why the no? Yeah, what the fuck is wrong with these people? They want because they want the money, yeah. That's what they care for, you know, and you're you're so blinded by the money that you're willing to put your child at a stranger's, you know, just because they're rich.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:01

And I don't condone what they like our Kelly and them, they they're freaking monsters, right? But what we're saying is the fact that the parent, like, why would you even in put your child into that atmosphere? I think all these parents should take responsibility on that. Yeah, and they don't. And that's the thing. And that's what makes me sad about Michael Jackson, because I truly believe that he he didn't, and he died thinking that everybody fucking hated him.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:29

I know.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:30

Like, that's sad.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:31

That is sad. I mean, that's another conspiracy there. Like, is it the the doctor gave him a little extra, knowing that it's lethal. You know, so I don't know. I just think Michael Jackson was gonna open up just like all these other people who do open up and whoop, they die. Yeah, yeah. You know?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:52

Let's not talk about that because then we're gonna die. We ain't bringing up shit.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:59

It's crazy, man. It's crazy, but I know.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:02

I think what what happens is that there's all these uh like the man that you're talking about, like all these the Harvey Weinstein is one, Dan Snyder from Nickelodeon is another one.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:14

I haven't watched that one yet. We should watch that one.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:17

It's really good. It's a little distributed, but it's it's pretty frightening. I think uh uh who what was the actor from iCarly that wrote a book?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:25

Oh, um the Wera McCart McCarty? McCurdy. Janet McCurdy.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:32

Janet McCurdy. I don't know that's she played what was her character's name on iCarly?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:37

I don't know. I'll look at that.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:40

Um so anyways fucking fuck. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. So I think because of her. Her that one.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:50

Holy shit. Wait, so something happened to her too?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:54

She talks, she talks about it. And there she came up with a new book. Oh, she did? Yeah, which I want to read half his age.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:00

Oh, half his age? Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:03

What but she talks a lot about him in in there?

SPEAKER_08 1:03:09

Yeah, she doesn't name him specifically in the book, but she says like the producer, which obviously the producer of uh the Nickelodeon shows were predominantly uh.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:20

This is why like I know I always talk shit that like the fact like I should have been a child actress, and then I'm like, damn, my mom literally did save me from this fucking shit. You know?

SPEAKER_04 1:03:30

It's not to say that it could have, but I mean at that time uh yeah, oh dude, I feel fucking sad for her.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:40

Dude, seriously sad for her. Like, look at her, she's not okay. Yeah, you know what I mean? I'm all for everybody expressing how they they want to, you know, look aesthetically, you know, on their appearance and whatever, you know, like everybody, oh, weird color hair or weird color cut or whatever the fuck, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:58

Um, but nah, dude, like hers is like mental that's crossing you know the 5150 line.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:07

Yeah, it's I I feel bad. I'm not here to like talk shit on her. I feel bad. I hope that girl's fucking help.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:12

She's not okay, and she probably will never be okay. It's like Brittany Spears. Brittany Spears will never come back.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:18

Yeah, that shit was sad too, dude. Like, so the moral story is fuck your parents and do what you want to do. Just don't take your kids to do some shit, man. Just be involved, be an involved parent. Don't leave your kid alone with anybody, yeah, no matter how much dollar signs are being presented.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:36

And I also feel like a lot of these kids should like it should be something where if you are like a child actor or child in entertainment, you should be taking therapy like with it. Because what happens is that you skip childhood. Yeah. You skip childhood and you go straight into adulthood. Literally. Even if you're a kid on set, like that's not normal for the average kid. So it's and they're around a bunch of adults.

SPEAKER_08 1:05:03

Yeah, I'm waiting for for the day. Maybe it it it it it has happened or will happen, or maybe it hasn't. But Leonardo DiCaprio, he's been in Hollywood pretty much since he his his whole like teenage years all the way up into adulthood. And honestly, I wonder what's gonna like come out from him from him. Like to I I just watched uh a YouTube video not too long ago about him and um Toby Maguire. Uh huh. That how they were like yeah, Spider-Man, that they were like r really good friends when they were younger. I didn't I had no clue.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:49

Are they around the same age?

SPEAKER_08 1:05:51

I think Leo's a little bit older than Toby Maguire's.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:56

Interesting. That's a good fucking Yeah, they they put it out there, Leo. Tell us what the fuck happened to you. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:02

I think just everybody in general. Joaquin Phoenix. Joaquin Phoenix has been. He started young too. He started young too. Well, his brother, his brother, River Phoenix. Uh I don't know him. Yeah. His uh well, he died like in the early 90s.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:16

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:17

Yeah. Late 80s, early 90s. Yeah, he overdosed like outside like the Viper room or something in downtown LA. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:24

Well, look at like Drew Barrymore. Do you ever see Drew Barrymore?

SPEAKER_08 1:06:27

Oh, dude.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:29

Drew Barrymore was like nine years old at a club.

SPEAKER_08 1:06:32

At a club drinking? Drinking. Shaking a shit.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:35

Parting shights. She started like smoking weed at like 10, and then she would do like Coke and that's why. And her mom would just let her like parade around Hollywood on her own. That's mind-blowing to me.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:47

Yeah. Like, fuck no. My parents like would like if I drank a fucking ooh, they slapped a shit out of me, like, nonetheless, a cigarette, like, or weed, fuck no. I didn't try weed till I was like 18. Yeah. And I didn't even know how to do it. You know? That's nuts, dude. Poor kids. Yeah. I know. So it's like, it's kind of like you're put in a situation where it's like your parents really pushed you onto that. It's like grooming. You know, I'm gonna say it, it might trigger people. It's kind of like grooming the transgender kids, like a little nine-year-old. Why the fuck? You know, I've heard stories where parents are literally dressing their child into a certain sex because that's the sex that they wanted but didn't get. Like, have you seen these documentaries? It's fucking nuts. Like it's a form of grooming, you know? I'm not against like when you're 18, make a fucking decision. When you're nine, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:07:40

I think just making any big decision at it or leaving it up to I don't know. I'm I'm indifferent, like, because I'm like, yeah, okay, uh let your child express themselves, yeah, but to a certain extent that won't endanger them when like giving them hormones. When they grow up.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:04

Like they haven't even hit puberty.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:05

I think I think like my perspective on what you're saying is I'm somewhere, I don't want to say in the middle, but I think like if you know when your child is different, right? And your child wants to express themselves. Yeah. That's that's on you as a parent if you want to, you know, embrace that. Yeah. But like you said, if it's forced, then that's a different, that's a different story. And I think that that forcing can be, and we've seen it throughout Hollywood, we've seen it throughout even maybe even our own families, of just forcing children to be or do things that you know don't always fit. And it could be, like you said, gender, it could be profession, it could be careers, it could be anything, you know. Like sometimes you have those parents. I know I see I've seen it personally, like, oh, I want my kid to like soccer. My kid's gonna be, you know, the next soccer star. And they fucking hate it. Like, it's like, and that's where we're kind of what you were talking about earlier, kind of to go back. It's like your parents made these decisions for you because they thought, like, okay, this is this is what I know, and I think this is what the best is. But when when as a parent is it like too much, right? When when do you as a parent, and again, I can't speak on it because I'm not a parent, but I did grow up in a household where my parents were strict. My mom did let me do and express myself, but nonetheless, it was always like I knew like my mom is the boss, you know, and it's like, and now as an adult, like I I struggle because I don't live at home, I don't live with her anything, and still all of my like a lot of things that I do is like, oh, like, would my mom be okay with it? And even now, even now. And Gil will be like, Are you serious? And I'm like, it's something, dude.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:56

I'm just trying to order a pizza, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:01

Should I put my phone?

SPEAKER_06 1:10:03

No, not to that extent. She's like, My mom always said there's no pineapple on pizza guru.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:10

Yeah, no, actually, I'm a pineapple on pizza guru. Oh, no, but that's another topic. But you know, like there's just certain things, and it's like I I didn't realize until I got with Gil that those are things that are like, oh shit, that's not normal. You know what I mean? And for me, it was it's my reality because I always listen to my parents. I always, you know, and it's and it's hard, and it's hard to unlearn freaking. I'm 35, but let's say 30 years of of that, of not knowing that that was. And again, my parents weren't controlling, but it was just culturally, that's that's what you do, and especially when you're a woman in a Latino household, it's like yeah, even more.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:53

Let's change the topic.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:54

No. No, he knows because we have these conversations, you know? Yes. And and that's that's the nice thing.

SPEAKER_08 1:11:01

I I just know from hearing from from listening to those types of stories. Yeah. Because it it comb for me it's it's different, right? Because one, I'm a male. Two, uh two, is that um I really didn't grow up with both parents. Uh and I think because of that, it completely changed the I guess between like our relationship, her relationship between her and her family, my relationship between my family, it's completely different. Completely different. So I get perspective on something that I never really understood or cared to understood uh understand until now, till we're together. And it's just is sometimes it's just like, whoa, it's like mind-blowing. I don't know, just to hear that.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:56

I'm on I'm on like the same aspect of her, which is again, yeah, you know, I'm I'm 40 years old, and it's just like fuck, I shouldn't do that because you know, my mom, my dad. And yeah, when does that stop?

SPEAKER_03 1:12:07

You know, does it stop? Who knows? And it and it it should, it should, because it's it's healthy to put boundaries, and you know, and just recently I started like having conversations with my mom where I was like, hey, like I just want to let you know that you know I'm not gonna do this and this and that. And when you say this, this and that, it's it affects me. And then she'd be like, Oh, I'm so sorry. Like, and and again, it's just things that we've conditioned, like they were conditioned to be that type of parent, and then we were conditioned to be that type of child. So it's like there are things that my mom did didn't even know is affecting me. And she's like, Oh, I don't want you to live your life being affected by these things, like, and and that's the healthy part is that I'm able now to speak up and uh luckily she's able to listen and you know do those things, but like you said, like when will it end? Does it ever end? And I think that it has to start from us.

SPEAKER_08 1:13:06

Look, I to me, I think that it won't end. I don't know to me, this is just maybe correct me if I'm wrong, but this is just my thought on it. This is my thought process. I don't think it will ever end. Um I think there's just gonna be a different version once you start accepting certain parts in that type of relationship and work on the parts that you feel that are good for you or that are not good for you. You understand what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05 1:13:39

Yeah, yeah, that that makes perfect sense.

SPEAKER_08 1:13:41

Right.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:42

Yeah. And it's true, like as as you get older, you're just like, wait, I don't need to ask or have approval of certain things that we're choosing to do. Yeah. But it's how do you break that cycle too?

SPEAKER_08 1:13:54

Yeah, it's hard because you've you've lived 35, 40 years of of this type of mentor or using this type of framework in your brain, and you trained your brain to think about this all your life. Now you have to uh uh back, you have to back maneuver and re like reinvent the way you not reinvent the way you think, but you have to change a little bit. It's hard.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:24

It's not even back going back, it's literally going forward and creating this whole new version of yourself, of self-independence. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:14:33

But I think that it has to do with not just the way that you uh not just this this type of like thinking and breaking cycles of of thinking is you can approach this to any bad bad thought that you have throughout whatever your life is. Right? Say, say you you you're a very jealous person or you're you're this, you're that. You can even though you have you've thought about this or had this frame of of thinking like all your life, you can a person can change, but you have to be willing to put in the work to change that. Yeah, it can apply to actually change the way you think. True, but it takes work. You have to do it, you have to put in the work, and you have to be uh accepting of that.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:34

Yeah, you know what's crazy is like I never wanted to try drugs because I was so fucking afraid of my parents, like genuinely, you know. And I have and it's crazy because like growing up, all these people were telling me, dude, your parents are so fucking strict, like this and this and that. And I'm just like, okay, and look at how you are. You know what I mean? You had a kid of 16. Uh, I was kidding. Um, but it's just like, you know, again, do I really want to try cocaine? No, because I know what the fuck can it can do to you. And then it's like, I already know, for example, like I can't have like a lot of caffeine. Like one time I took an ex an excederine because I had a migraine. I had no idea there was fucking a shitload of caffeine in that motherfucker. And I was like, uh like I was at work and shit. My parents had to come pick me up and they're just like, what the fuck did you do? And I'm like, I took an excedant. You know what I mean? Like I took an excedrine. Like, it's just crazy, but yeah, you know, I don't know. Parents, for the most part, parents have like, you know, the like they want good for you.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:34

Yeah, they they want they want their you they want you to live your life and to succeed and to live the best version of yourself.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:42

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:43

But you know, humans, we're not perfect. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:46

You know, I told my parents, technically, I told my mom, um, I was like, mom, I'm gonna try mushrooms. I fucking straight up told my mom, like, I'm gonna try mushrooms. I've never done anything else. I've only drank, you know, not anymore, but I used to, and then weed. And then I'm not gonna do anything else. Like, I just want to try mushrooms one time. She just you know, and then I was just like, well, you know, whatever. Kind of briefly explained it to her to the point where she doesn't really need to know too much. And I was like, I'm gonna do with my brother. He's gonna be there, you know, it's gonna be cool, like whatever. And and I did it. And it was it was a weekend that my parents were like out of town, you know, and so it was just funny. Like, I was I was at least 35, you know, telling my mom, like, mom, I want to try mushrooms. Like, that's just weird. Like, I think that's weird, but the that's the type of relationship I have with my parents that I'm very open.

SPEAKER_08 1:17:36

Oh, that's good, right? Right.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:37

And then and then I told her, I don't think I told her fully like the full, full experience, but you know, I do joke about it because it was a trip. Like, I do I fucking did too much. And I did two different strains. And then I did weed on top of that. Not a good idea. Not a fucking good idea. Yeah, I thought I had midget hands. I felt like my hands were like this.

SPEAKER_08 1:17:57

I don't think that I don't think you could take too much of mushrooms.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:01

Well, no, yes, you can. But if you top it all with weed, yeah. But I've never done it. Okay, all right.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:07

All right, I I see for my first time. Yeah, for your first time. I think I think too much.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:12

You know the movie Alien?

SPEAKER_08 1:18:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:14

And you know how it's coming out of your stomach?

SPEAKER_00 1:18:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:15

I had pain in my belly button, and I was like, it's a fucking alien gonna come out. Like, it was a trip. My hands were fucking melting, and I was like, I can't fucking take them off. Like, I looked in the mirror, and you're not supposed to do that. Yo, I look like a dead body. I got genuinely, I was like, oh, like I was tripping, that was too much.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:36

I remember this one time I looked at the mirror and white mushrooms? My face was like switching between like different, like my it, my face like transformed into like my dad, and then my grandpa, and then my grandpa's grandpa, and then my grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's dad. It was like all the way up to like uh an ancient looking like Mexican dude, and then like it kept on going further and further into like a an early human uh Neanderthal type of dude. It was crazy. I was like, what is happening? Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:15

And that was just on shrooms? Yeah, and you think you still didn't have enough? Or what that sounds like you had a lot, bro.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:23

It was there there's been some times that it it's it's good for you, honestly. Like uh uh for like mental for mental health, yeah, and and therapy. Uh I think that something like psychedelics or psilocybin can really, really in like the right hands can heal a person.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:48

I agree. Because when I was done, like the following, first of all, best sleep I've ever had in my motherfucking life.

SPEAKER_08 1:19:54

You're laughing, you're crying, you're you're just purge, you're purging out this energy out of your life.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:03

Literally the negativity.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:05

Because the next day I was the happiest person I've ever been, and I have road rage. No one was pissing me off on the road. Like, like, and and you can sense it in your aura, you know, in your energy, and your what have you. And speaking of purging, I've done combo, so I guess I guess do you know what combo is? Okay, dude, look up combo with a K.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:25

And um, I went to anything with spell with a K that you take is gotta be crazy.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:32

So it's fucking frog poison that they introduce to your body. Oh, is it the one that they do with like a little needle? Uh-huh. So they burn? Oh my god. Like not like crazy burn, like a little fucking cigarette burn, you know?

SPEAKER_08 1:20:45

And that starts to okra?

SPEAKER_03 1:20:49

No, no, no. I've seen I've seen what you're eating a little mark, right? Yes.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:55

Oh, okay. I've heard of that.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:57

Little circles.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:57

Yeah, I've seen that.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:58

Yeah. So see the frog poison. It's so this is a practice. See the picture of the burns right there? Right here, like that. So the more is fucking intense, dude. So I only had, I think they first tried to do four little burns and it didn't hit me. And then they added one more, and then you know how you were talking about the fucking time war? Yeah, I literally felt I could feel my fucking blood circulating through my skin, and I was like, and then very quickly threw up, purged everything out. But that that was a tricky.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:35

Hold up because I want to see, I want to read exactly like what it is and the properties of it. I can't really read that. It's it's kind of um blurry.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:47

It was an intense experience, and I and so at first, because you know, again, I had never done anything, I I hadn't done shrooms at that point either. I it was still, you know, uh just weed and alcohol. And when I did because remember how I was telling you about my hives and all this stuff, I was so desperate to just find a fucking cure that was willing to try anything, go to foreign countries and all this shit. And so I heard that this um uh your immune system boosts like crazy. And it's a huge detox and all this.

SPEAKER_08 1:22:17

Peptide symphony, the combo secretion contains a highly sophisticated cocktail by bioactive peptides. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can act as messengers. When applied to the skin, they enter the lymphatic system and blind and bind to specific cellular receptors in the human body, triggering profound physiological shifts. Whoa. Peptides are all the rage at the moment.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:46

So a lot of people who have certain diseases go do this. Oh, yeah, I bet. Because you see how it's the lymphatic system. So the lymphatic system is your your trash can of your body. That's your your lymphatic system literally holds every fucking nastiness in your body. That's why we should really be doing lymphatic cleansing. I mean, um, like massages and things like that. Like the Chinese culture, they'll they'll patch it. They pat where all your lymph nodes are to help drain all this shit and get it out of your body. So I that's why I'm telling you, I went to go do this because I was like, I don't give a fuck, fuck it. And it's a four-hour, four to five hour process. You can't eat before, I think, four to five hours, also.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:29

And are there places that that do this? Yeah, dude. I want so like under the table type of things, or are you? Legit. Oh, even under the hand. Oh, there are like legit places that you can go and do this?

SPEAKER_05 1:23:40

Like wellness centers and stuff? Yeah, like Ayurveda kind of thing, you know?

SPEAKER_08 1:23:46

Got it.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:46

It was okay, so it's not uh this is practice typically in the Amazon.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:50

Okay, so it comes from what I'm asking is it's not uh it's not a practice that like say, oh, I'm gonna go do ayahuasca and it's like in the rainforest or some dudes.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:01

I want to go do ayahuasca. That's what I was supposed to do next month. Um I was supposed to go to Peru, but you know, that's not happening, and I will eventually. But um this is a trip, so this is this is something that's literally practiced in the Amazon. And back then, the you know I'm gonna bring up fucking apocalypto for whatever reason. So no, but this is true though. They would give the hunters this and they would just be fucking fast and they were able to like really like focus and find, you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:31

Well that's like a natural like coke.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:34

I mean, I wouldn't while Coke is generally natural.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:37

Yeah. Well, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:39

Yeah, no, this was I I want to go back and do it again because it's such a huge detox to your body. That's what I was ultimately trying to do. Because I was I had just quit alcohol. I was trying to find something to help me, you know. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:55

Well, that's good that you you tried this knowing that you want to make a yeah, and so you have to talk to it, by the way.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:01

Because that I mean, these people are if you look at the people who's doing this shit, you're like, oh, peace love, brother, like all the hippies and shit. And so they're just like, and you meditate before, and it's a whole fucking process, dude. Like you I feel like you would laugh the entire time. You'd be like, This is fucking weird.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:16

But no, I could get pretty weird.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:18

Yeah, yeah, it's pretty weird. So, you know, they're all like first you meditate, you're lame, you're relaxed. You you have to they shoot some shit up your nose, by the way. I can't it's called it's spelled rape, but it's rape. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:31

Oh my god, why would you?

SPEAKER_05 1:25:32

Oh, I think I've seen uh they blow this thing up here. It's not rape, it's literally spelled rape, but it's rape, and I don't know what's in it either. And that's supposed to help calm you down and all this shit. And I didn't even do the eye drop thing because that one was sounding more trippy and scarier, and I was like, uh oh fucking. I would have probably seen some stuff that I don't think I wanted to see. Right. So I only did that, and then I did the I don't remember which arm it was, I did the the combo, and so I'm telling you, dude, when it fucking hit me and they're and I was tripping out because I'm like, and they're like, relax, talk to it, tell it what you wanted to do, and all the shit. And I'm just like, I just want to heal, and you know, I'm just like, everybody is going through some fucking shit in the room, dude. Like everybody's crying, yelling, screaming, like all kinds of, but these people are like going to you and just trying to like calm you down. They're the shamans, pretty much, you know, and after you throw up, then you continue meditating, they do like sound music, like boom, and all these things. And then, yeah, dude, the next day, like I just felt at peace. I felt happy, I felt, I felt how we should feel as humans, you know? And I I I've only done it once, and I kind of want like I kind of want to go do it again because I I genuinely think like, you know, we as humans, not just because of what we consume, you know, like eating or drinking or you know, drugs or alcohol, but like phones, you know, certain relationships, you know, and just TV and just like all these things, like it fucks with people's minds. Like it genuinely fucks with people's minds. And this kind of is like a little, like just a little detox of getting rid of that. Because dude, my fat ass loves McDonald's and that's bad for you. And I fucking know, but damn, those fries are so good. You know what I mean? And it's like we're killing ourselves. You know, it's fucking trashy ass water out there, like everything, the pollution, like uh fucking garden grove just had this whole chemical thing. Like, I was super close to that, you know. So all these things that we just do that's so bad for our body that's just like let's let's get this out, let's get this out, you know.

SPEAKER_08 1:27:35

And and to what we were talking about earlier, just the way that we think like mentally, right? The the way that we I guess condition ourselves to think and to react and respond to certain situations in life. I think that that's not that like it need you need more than that. Right? So you you Yeah, the the the proper mindset, the the changing of the way that you think and live, but also on top of that, using these psychotropic uh elements to actually benefit your mental health, I think is like the combination between both those things. I that's why I think psychedelics are um they're very they're very helpful to a a person the way they the way they live because I you like with any other uh I guess quote unquote drug or anything that you you take in, like there's nothing like psychedelics does to your mental health, and then plus physically too. Like just a combination of just both those things. They call it uh an um the like the the you're saying that you feel the day after you felt like amazing. They call that like uh like the the glow, I guess, because that's when you feel like most uh like attention. Your highest self. You know, because I I had people because you've the experience is just it's it's it's wild, like it's un you can't comprehend it. And to explain it to somebody that hasn't uh experienced it is is very hard to like verbalize that experience. Yeah. And even if you do, the they won't get the full scope of the you're never gonna understand until you experience it for yourself.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:47

Do I think you know these things are the cure for everything? No, because I think at the end of the day it's it's really mentally everyone's you know, mental capacity or health, I should say. Um, and it's gonna make me talk about this book. This is like my first book that I ever read from front to back. And it was called Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen. And once I read that book, I was just like, Oh, I think you know what?

SPEAKER_08 1:30:12

I think I have that in my wish list on Amazon.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:15

I'm telling you, that book was the one that just so when I stopped drinking alcohol, that was one of the first books I purchased. And the first book that I read all my entire life, I was skimming, I was using the internet to tell me what the book was about, like straight up, you know. Sorry, teachers. Uh but that one right there, and it's such a simple concept. Don't believe everything you think, you know? And so it's just a trip, like that, just that in itself, because you know, your enemy in your head is constantly like you're a loser, you're fat, you're this, you're that, you know what I mean? Like you're never gonna be anything, whatever it is. And it's just like those aren't your thoughts, those are not your thoughts, you know.

SPEAKER_08 1:30:59

So when you come out of this state of mind after doing what have you, you know, whether it's I'm because it takes you like this is my experience, it takes you out of your mind and it show it shows you it uh I'm gonna sound crazy. It shows you like you on uh a higher plane. I have no clue what that means and I I don't even In a different perspective, right? It it shows you it shows you who you are highest self as a person, right? It shows you it shows you who you are and what you need to work on and and how it opens different doors to like where you can go. And and they call this period the integration period because you have this experience, right? And then there's a period between your your psychedelic experience, and then you use whatever you've learned or witnessed or experienced throughout that experience. You use that and integrate it into your life. So there's a period. Uh I I read this book, it's called like the uh well, it's called the psychedelic experience by um the Jim Jim Halpert and Timothy Leary, and I don't know if you know the history, but Timothy Leary and Richard Halpert were the Harvard professors that used to give their their not their patients, but their students. Oh shit. They used to have these massive mushroom trips. Oh and they used to it was back in the early 60s. Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:43

And at Harvard at that time, no, or is it after was it undercover or no?

SPEAKER_08 1:32:48

It w it was undercover. They ended up getting caught by Harvard, they got fired. Timothy Leary ended up being he ended up starting the whole counterculture and hippie culture based on what he learned in Harvard. Yeah. And then Richard Halpert, uh, I think he went to India and he he became uh like a guru guru call and he changed his name to Ramdas, and he started using uh like what he learned in the psychedelic uh trips. Yeah, he started using that and and teaching other people. Yeah. Uh he stopped doing it, but he started teaching people how to um to reach those psychedelic experiences without mushrooms.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:32

Oh, that's interesting. So he gave, yeah, uh I'll give you like a placebo effect now where you're just like pretend like you know how they give you the pill that has it and the thing that doesn't.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:42

No, what he was saying is that he from the story goes that he he gave mushrooms to like a uh this I forgot his name, but he gave the mushrooms to like this um this uh not shaman, but like this monk in India that I guess like already reached higher consciousness. He gave him the mushrooms and the guy was the the guru was like I don't there's no difference. Shut up and he he told Ramdas, he was like, he told Ramdas, he was like, any human being can reach this type of higher consciousness through meditation. Damn it. So after he told Ramdas that any man can do it, Ramdas uh for the next like decade started uh trying to teach people that you can reach this higher consciousness with through meditation and through these different uh ways of of living your life. So I don't know why I got to Ramdas and the guy in India.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:54

Well, because you were talking about the consciousness and like the process of you know doing the shrooms and you said integration period.

SPEAKER_08 1:35:01

Right. So yeah, so the that's where I I I went, I think I did like two like I I really dove deep into like this the the history of psychedelics, uh the the main like just learning about Timothy Leary was just in itself because I love the 1960s. I love that the era, the counterculture era, just like everything that happened, the music, the art, the poetry.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:32

Well, technically everything was legal at that time until the fucking CIA fucked it all up.

SPEAKER_08 1:35:36

Well, it it was legal until like I think technically it was legal up until 1972 is when that's when they started uh like technically made it illegal, but I think 1968 was the year that they started like telling people it was uh it wasn't legal. Yeah. They used to like throughout the 50s, dude, everybody was dropping acid. Yeah. Everybody.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:00

Everybody was doing everything. Yeah. Yeah. And I think wasn't it because they started rebelling against the government how this really initiated?

SPEAKER_08 1:36:08

Uh typically, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's I think just acid was just everywhere. Like psychic.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:15

Have you ever done that? I I've never done that one. I kind of am like again, one of those, like, fuck, do I want to?

SPEAKER_08 1:36:20

Like I think just do as much research as you can based on yourself, and then also uh having uh I'm pretty sure you heard this before. The they have this thing called uh set and setting. So just your mindset of when you do s any type of psychedelics and then setting too is you did the right thing of of just doing it with somebody that you're comfortable with. Yeah, my brother. Right.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:46

And it was at his home too. Yeah, so it's true, because I was just like, okay, don't think about anything, just positive, it's gonna be a good experience.

SPEAKER_08 1:36:52

Because initially I did start tripping, and my sister-in-law was like, just relax, you know, it's you know, like she's all being peace and love and shit, and which helped me because there's a story of this uh undercover, I think he was like an uh he worked for the government, and they used to have these blind experiences, uh blind experiments where they used to dose like government workers and without their knowledge, without their knowledge.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:22

What the fuck up?

SPEAKER_08 1:37:24

Yeah, and it was LSD. They were they were blind. Oh no. So they were at this party, this government party, and uh they were like do just to see because I don't know if you know, but they That's not cool, dude.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:37

That's like fucking giving a date rape drug. Yeah, they just want to see how you react, like what the fuck?

SPEAKER_08 1:37:42

Basically that's right. No, that's what they were doing with with acid. They they were trying so the MK Ultra project that the government was doing, uh-huh, they wanted to see if LSD can be used as a mind control substance. So they were getting these groups of government workers and blindly dosing them to see if they were able to control their minds. So they did this in I think like uh in a in a uh cabin with all these different scientists, and they blindly dosed them, and then one of them um he started like he had a horrible, horrible experience, bad trip, if you will. And uh his family like over time was ex was thinking like, oh my god, this guy, he's he's uh he was just not being himself, like the couple weeks after that. That's awesome. And then they they wanted to interview him to see how he was after the the trip, and he was so paranoid, they met. I think it was at a uh a hotel in Los An downtown Los Angeles. This was the late like 1950s. So they met there, and then the story goes is that he he met with two government agents. It was him, he's a scientist that that worked in the he was a scientist army. He was a he was a scientist in the army, he was there in the motel room, and there's two versions of the story. Anyways, he ends up running out of the hotel room, falling and dying.

unknown 1:39:25

Shut up.

SPEAKER_08 1:39:27

So according to the two CIA agents there, they say that he went crazy and killed himself.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:36

That's fucked up.

SPEAKER_08 1:39:37

But also, I mean, we we think that it could have been the other way where they wanted to eliminate him because they might be able to do it. Once he found out that he was blindly dosed, he even went more paranoid because he was helping develop the MK Ultra project.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:56

Fuck, dude. That's nuts, man. That's fucked up, like literally against his consent.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:02

And and that's the I think that's the like That's just one story. I don't want to say the misconception, but I think that like any psychedelic drug, right? Now I think it's used very loosely where it's like, uh, let's go to a rave and get all crazy, or oh, I'm gonna go to a party and I'm gonna be on shrooms. And it's like I think that a lot of these drugs and and it dates back to like you know, prehistoric times, or you know, like just like indigenous times, it's like it was used, they were they weren't used recreationally, they were used in ceremonies, they were used in being able to see things to open your consciousness and things like that. So it's like I think that because I I'm not one to do drugs or anything like that. Like I I'm like you, like I I've never done, you know, I smoked weed or whatever, but I think that psychedelics there is a certain extent like if used correctly, and I think that they should always be used correctly and with intent, yeah. And also like Gil was saying, like going in with the mindset of like, okay, this is you know, I need it, and this is what I'm looking to get out of it, and you know, I'm gonna meditate, I'm gonna do all these things, and then after even putting in the work of whatever you've seen, whatever you experienced, and continuing to use it, I think like it's it is something positive, you know. Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:30

Cause I think uh in therapy, they're using that, like micro microdosing to help like a lot of uh people like in the war, you could have a lot of things. Yeah, with P PSD. Yeah. So I mean, obviously there's good and bad in everything that you do, you know, and I think the uh the struggle is where do you find the balance? And then even now, like trusting what you're being given. Absolutely, bro. Like they're fucking up weed now, you know, because weed is doing with sales, yes, dude. Oh my god. Aren't they like lacing it, right? Yes, yeah. So it's just like big pharma, don't fucking like that shit, you know. So they're just like, man, all these weak consumers, the alcohol industry isn't liking that because the alcohol industry is dropping too and all that shit. Yeah. I don't know, we can get into conspiracies.

SPEAKER_08 1:42:12

Well, the new the new generation now, they're not I was just talking to my coworker about this. I was like, the new generation now? They they're not drinking. Yeah, nobody's drinking. Yeah. Even now, like at look at there's they're not even social reasoning.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:25

Like they're not even talking. They're just talking to a phone, like remember.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:32

Our generation was like, I think they're like the biggest recorded. Yeah, trust me. And now all the kids are like sober.

SPEAKER_08 1:42:46

You bring back a four loco, I'll come back out of retirement.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:48

I don't know. The original recipe. Four local's not around anymore.

SPEAKER_08 1:42:53

Well, the the original recipe that we changed the recipe. People were like dying. People were dying. People were dying.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:59

Like because they drove drugs.

SPEAKER_08 1:43:01

No, because it was there was so much caffeine mixed with alcohol in the four local.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:07

They were getting like heart attacks. No wonder I always felt weird. I never had one. I drank like three in a night.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:15

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:16

It was trash out of my mind, and then still kept drinking.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:19

Fuck. Yeah, that's why they changed the recipe because people were like young kids were getting heart attacks.

unknown 1:43:24

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_05 1:43:25

Yeah. This is literally news to me here on your show.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:30

But there's so many things. There's so many things I did that I'm like, how the fuck am I alive? Yeah, and now I'm like scared. I forgot to mention that.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:37

I don't remember what the fuck it did to me, other than make me feel like you didn't like fall.

unknown 1:43:42

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:43

I remember I remember going to like shows because I I used to go to like to like like ska shows and stuff like that. And they would get in a circle and then they would get the nouse and then they would do it, and then I would just see someone goof and fucking fall in the cement. And I was like, ooh. See, and that's what I told my mom, I was like, damn, at least I wasn't like drugging myself. Yeah, I was getting drunk, but I wasn't. Me too.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:06

You know, yeah, me too. That's crazy. I literally forgot. I I didn't know. I was like, I was like at a like a high school party and sure after high school, and I remember drink, you know, the fucking smirnoffs and whatever. The micar lemonade. Um and then friends, like, and then I would like hit it and whatever, but I don't remember what the fuck I felt, like just lightheaded is what I felt because I was scared to do too much, also. Yeah, you know, but fuck that was a trip. Yeah, we had fun back then, which is what we're getting to.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:32

We did, and then you grew up, and look at like now you don't drink, like I don't drink, and and that's why I tell my mom I was like, you should just let it get out of my fucking system. Cause look, like it probably would have been out a long time ago if you wouldn't have you know been so like ah, you betrayed me. Yeah, I know everything is like her. It's basically what you're saying. I was drunk because of you.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:00

Yeah, no, that is true. Like, you know, so I had friends that I remember in junior high, like one of my friends, I'm not gonna say her name or whatever, but like her mom was never around. Well, so she lived with her mom. There was no dad involved, right? So that girl, she would have guys over, she would have little house parties, like while her mom's fucking working and shit. And like alcohol and drugs. And I'm just like, what the fuck? Like, it was fun. I didn't do any, I didn't partake in any of this though, because I knew damn well I'm not supposed to do this at this age. But it's mind-blowing that like that that that's happening, you know. I don't know why the fuck I got into this topic.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:41

I was uh I was a Coke lookout for some guy in my freshman year. What the fine is a coke lookout.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:48

I'm not gonna say his name either because wait, but what is a coke lookout?

SPEAKER_03 1:45:53

He would literally, it was um, we used to have uh physics right in the morning. That was like nurse period.

SPEAKER_08 1:46:01

He was breaking bad. Yeah, he was not making and then started.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:05

We had physics and he literally would sit next to me. So the table was like a like a square table where four people sit, right? So I I was always like I was at the edge and then he was next to me, and then he'd be like, Hey, watch, watch the teacher look that he's not looking. And I'm like, What are you doing? The first time I that ever happened, and he's like, Ah, don't worry about it, just tell me if he's looking. And then he would open his his like binder, remember when like people would just carry binders, and he would do the put the line like on his homework or his whatever his worksheets, and then he would snort it, and then he was like, All right, all right, thanks. And the first time I was like, Oh my god. And then after it just became like, Oh, okay, this person, I don't want to say I I almost said his name, but I'd be like, Oh, hey, what's up? And I already knew every morning he would do his line of coke.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:53

What grade were you in?

SPEAKER_03 1:46:54

It was in ninth grade, you know his schedule.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:57

Fuck, dude. That's wild, huh? Good morning. The teacher's not looking. Go ahead and do your line.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:01

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I was like, nuts. But what was I gonna do? No, I'm gonna tell on you. Fuck, you should have.

SPEAKER_08 1:47:07

You know, first period, I got physics, and then I gotta uh watch Warheads. Yeah. All right, so he's altering his paper in with freaking remnants of core.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:20

All right, so since we're gonna admit, uh, my senior year, um, I remember a lot of us would fucking put like alcohol in like a Gatorade bottle. But a lot of these fuckers would get all fucked up and shit. And I was just like, man, I'm having like one motherfucking sip and shit. Like, I'm still terrified of my parents. Like, fuck you guys. You know what I mean? But I'll partake just so I'm not a little bitch. You know, it's that's fucking cocaine, bro.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:45

A ninth grade, that's that's what I'm saying. Like it was, it was literally cocaine. And as far as how my mama was like, look, like you either did a really good job or I'm like a very conscious person, which I know they did a really good job. But I never like I was constantly in front of around it, around drugs, around like I could have just been like, hey, give me, give me some, you know, but I didn't. I was too, I was scared.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:11

Yeah, that's not crazy.

SPEAKER_08 1:48:16

I'm learning physics right now. And you know what's crazy?

SPEAKER_03 1:48:20

He wasn't that bad of a student because he was attention to everything. Yeah, I know the answer. He was like, he came from a family that like partook in like gangs, and he was like a gang member, and like, you know, he was in ninth grade and he was like Cholito, but he still went to school. He ended up graduating. Yeah, um, but I was like, dang.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:42

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:42

Yeah, the fool finishes homework in five minutes for everything. Yeah, I was like, nah, I'm good, ready to go, let's play football.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:48

Do you guys remember when um that also happened my ninth grade year? So that's like in 2000, because I was in ninth grade in 2004. Um, do you remember when they were uh huffing the axe?

SPEAKER_08 1:48:58

Oh, I remember that one.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:00

What?

SPEAKER_08 1:49:00

No, you didn't you didn't I think it was like any any aerosol can.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:05

Anything with aerosol. Don't you remember the computer cleaner computer cleaner era? Fuck. So you know, like a can, like let's say like a hairspray. You didn't party or what? No, no.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:14

No, I mean I knew like the the what was it called? The Robitassin had oh the lean, what they used to call it lean alcohol level.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:21

Yeah, they used to call it lean.

SPEAKER_08 1:49:22

Codeine? Yeah, codeine?

SPEAKER_03 1:49:24

Yeah, yeah, but they used to call the drink lean. Oh, because you mix that with you would mix it with, yeah. And that's wild.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:30

Yeah, so no, our era was we experimented.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:35

This is axe uh body spray. I mean deodorant.

SPEAKER_08 1:49:42

Well, but they used to cover they used to cover like the spray to filter out all the chemicals so that they would only get what what would it what you wouldn't get like the deodorant flavor in your mouth. So yeah, so they'd get like a t shirt.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:07

Are you telling us how you did it?

SPEAKER_08 1:50:09

No, I never did that.

SPEAKER_02 1:50:10

Okay, tell by tell me how they did it.

SPEAKER_08 1:50:12

So they got the the can, the axe can, and they would wrap the knot like the tip with like uh like a t-shirt. You're right. So they would damp t-shirt, you're right. Yeah. And then spray it. Yeah, they will spray it and then you'll like it will filter out whatever like the chemicals and stuff in the in the can.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:34

I remember a kid doing it while we were in lunch, but I would just see him in his backpack. Like it's because I I went to a predominantly like black and Latino school, and you can say it was ghetto, it's okay. No, I love my school. No, she's gonna um but I mean I went to Paramount High School, and at that time it was, you know, we we were we were coming out of the era of like gang violence, because then there was a a time where Paramount did have a lot of gang violence. So we were coming out of that, but then the kids of these gang members were in school and they were they weren't gangbanging anymore, but they were doing drugs, you know? That's crazy, man. And this kid would like go into his backpack and then he just fell backwards and like cracked his skull on the thing, and then the security guards came and then they found out, like, and his backpack was full of axe sprays.

SPEAKER_07 1:51:24

Oh yeah, no.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:26

Well, do you guys remember the time where these girls were sticking tampons up their coochie and dipping it with alcohol?

SPEAKER_06 1:51:32

Oh my god. I don't understand people sometimes, like that's a little excessive.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:37

Yeah, like no, you know what I mean? Like as a woman, like we barely like using it for our cycle. Yeah, imagine that's like scary.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:45

It's gross. They were also kind of alcohol.

unknown 1:51:48

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:48

What does it matter? It wouldn't sting, right? Yeah, that's like rum.

SPEAKER_08 1:51:54

Like flavored, uh was it flavored rum, beer? Imagine doing an IPA, putting it Jack and Coke here and Apple, bro. The cherry.

SPEAKER_03 1:52:04

No, well, they were like they were also, did you hear when like the models were funneling uh like an old fashioned please? No, they were funneling alcohol through their butthole so that they wouldn't- Oh, I seen that on Jackass. Yeah, they wouldn't gain weight. So it was a thing. Wait, they were putting what in the behogan? Alcohol. The alcohol makes them not gain weight? Yeah, so instead of okay, okay. So instead of going like through here where it's gonna go into the normal brosses, fucking. So it was going through their butthole and it was like getting them drunker and then without all the fucking how weirder. And now everyone's like, no drugs, no anything, organic everything. I think, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:52:45

Yeah, because I think we were the experimental, like the for what for what it is, the 60s had their own thing, 70s had their own thing, 80s had their own thing, 90s had heroin and and nirvana. I think the the early 2000s, we were exp because they've already like did so much stuff, like we were experimenting, it was taken away too. A lot of that was taken away from us, it was taken away, it was made illegal.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:12

But we knew how it worked already. Yeah, so our generation was looking for fucking new shit. Finding new ways in the physics class to on reinventing stuff, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:53:24

But I think the butt thing with the drinking, I think that's always been uh that's fucking weak. I think, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:53:30

I don't even like taking big dumps. Like I'm like, ah fuck you. What the fuck, I'm just taking some shit on my ass for it.

SPEAKER_08 1:53:36

Like it's like Hey, which side is it going in? Right. I think it's like a uh like a beer bong thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:44

Yeah, but in your butt.

SPEAKER_08 1:53:46

Yeah. But I wouldn't put I wouldn't put the like the the tube up there, like hovering maybe, maybe like a quarter inch over.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:55

I he just made my butthole clenched thinking about it. How about we don't think about it anymore? Why are you considering it? I know he's not trying to figure out how he would do it. He's like, what's the easiest way I can do it?

SPEAKER_08 1:54:09

Well, look at people get those things that yeah, they get colon colonoscopies.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:15

That's true.

SPEAKER_08 1:54:16

No, but that's to test, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:54:19

No. Colonoscopy is when they clean out your colon. Yeah. And they literally flush water into you. So the same way that they're It's the same thing. Well, it is, but this is I'm just doing it with Hey, I wonder, I wonder if they would like to do that.

SPEAKER_08 1:54:32

With an IPA or something. Huh?

SPEAKER_05 1:54:34

Well, that's a good point. Because any liquid in will make it. I've I've actually had a colonoscopy. And the, you know, you have to drink all this thing. You have to literally get everything flushed out of your system. So because then when they're gonna do it, they don't want shit coming out. So imagine these people who are ha they got a dirty ass rectum, intestines and shit. Like, and then they're putting how are they not like catching something at that rate?

SPEAKER_03 1:55:02

Like, I haven't heard that being done in a while, but yeah, that was weird. Yeah, Gil, what are your thoughts, huh?

SPEAKER_00 1:55:09

Let's try it. Let's play it.

SPEAKER_03 1:55:12

My ass will hurt. Hell no. No, thank you. Is this how we're coming to the end of our podcast? We're all funneling in the butt.

SPEAKER_08 1:55:25

It all uh happened so we can put alcohol in our butt.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:31

I don't even want to do a suppository, like no, you know? Hell no.

SPEAKER_08 1:55:36

We can add we can add the the is it because it's Pride Month?

SPEAKER_05 1:55:39

We're talking about but holes? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:55:42

We can find out the different ways on No, we can't.

SPEAKER_03 1:55:45

We don't have to. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:55:48

I just sometimes get boring. I don't know. No? Alright, I'm alone on this one. You're alone on this one. I'm not gonna try it. I'm just saying it how I would I would do it.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:59

I just feel like I just I like if I'm that desperate to go that route, instead of the regular way, yeah, you have you literally have a problem.

SPEAKER_08 1:56:10

That's true.

SPEAKER_05 1:56:11

You know?

SPEAKER_08 1:56:12

And that's like what poses the question.

SPEAKER_05 1:56:14

No, Gilbert.

SPEAKER_08 1:56:16

No, what poses the question, so say you're an alcoholic, right? And you're not technically you're not drinking. So you when people when you're consuming are you are you drinking alcohol and you can tell them technically I didn't drink it? Wow. I put it up my butt.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:32

You're still consuming it. It's a consumption. Just uh there not for it's gone uh gone long enough, your theory.

SPEAKER_05 1:56:42

That's a good point though. And then I I truly want to know the level of like drunkness, you know. Well, it's supposed to get you drunk or maybe different drunker.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:50

It gets you drunker because it goes directly like instead of having to go through your digestive tract, like it's literally just getting right into your blood.

SPEAKER_08 1:56:59

How about a bidet, but instead of water going up there? It's yeah, there we go. I like that. I like your oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:08

Okay, so um they can make this my my boyfriend has a bidet, and it's the weirdest thing to me, you know what I mean? Because I just want to like turn around and use it for like something else, you know, because I'm like, damn, this shit fucking shoots really hard, you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:24

It's a weird feeling because it's like you want to reverse cowgirl your toilet?

unknown 1:57:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:29

Just like, oh like this, how this feels. That's a trip.

SPEAKER_08 1:57:33

The bidets are they're really nice, yeah, really nice. They they gotta start putting them in public areas. I don't know how I feel about that because then everybody's like everybody would be watching.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:43

Well, in Japan, in Japan, all restrooms have bidets.

SPEAKER_08 1:57:46

Most restrooms.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:47

The majority of the rooms.

SPEAKER_08 1:57:49

The updated, the updated buildings have them, but I want to say like at least 90%, right? 90% of public restrooms had a bidet. Really? Yeah. And they were enclosed too. I felt like so exposed coming back to the United States.

SPEAKER_05 1:58:04

So you went to Japan, you experienced it, yes. Right.

SPEAKER_08 1:58:07

So their their restrooms are like literally like closets. Like there's no opening at the top, there's no opening at the bottom. You have complete privacy.

SPEAKER_03 1:58:16

Yeah, like you could blow it up at any time and no one can hear you or smell it or anything. Oh, I feel comfortable. Yeah. They even have buttons because they're like all their restrooms have a bunch of fucking buttons. And how the fuck do you know which e buttons are? Yeah, I was just pressing shit. Yeah, you just cut out.

SPEAKER_08 1:58:34

I was pressing shit and praying to God, nothing goes up my ass.

SPEAKER_03 1:58:38

Is it a toilet? Yeah, it's a toilet.

SPEAKER_08 1:58:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:58:41

So there's a button that actually does like uh like like perfume. Perfume. There was a perfume once, but then there was one that made uh noises, like like woodly noises, no, like like calming noises. So that you shit or and I don't know if it was to calm you or to hide, like in case you're like you know, traveling explosive or something, you know.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:05

This is interesting shit. Literally, that's wild. The music thing is funny. Uh-huh. Was there is there a blow dryer too, or what? Yeah.

unknown 1:59:13

Shut up.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:15

The seats are heated, like the toilet seat was heated.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:19

This is fancy. This sounds expensive. Like, is that why they constantly have uh what is it called over there? Tsunamis?

SPEAKER_03 1:59:25

No. They're all the water. I mean, it it's just high to them, it's very hygienic. Even when I went to Dubai, uh-huh, um, every restroom in Dubai, I was like, why is there a fucking uh floor drain in all the restrooms? Uh-huh. Every stall had a floor drain, and then I realized they have like a little mangerita. Uh-huh. And it's to to clean yourself, to wash yourself off. Interesting. So you would like I literally would go to the restroom and then the person next to me was like, I was like, oh, okay.

unknown 1:59:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:57

Like, my pussy ain't stinking tonight.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:59

Yeah. So it wasn't like the toilet wasn't shooting, but there was a a hose that and that would have it.

SPEAKER_05 2:00:07

See, but this is this is where I question because like honestly, like, you know, what if the person before you got some and then they were just like, fuck it, they touch like putting it in there. That's what that's what I think. Like I get I get how it's like hygienic, but then it's also like, you know, I just don't trust people.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:23

I think the water hose one, yes, but the day one, it I it's kind of hard.

SPEAKER_08 2:00:28

But it's kinda it's hard too. But think about uh here in America, a toilet and you just have a thin paper that you cover with it. Some people don't even use those.

SPEAKER_05 2:00:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 2:00:40

And it's the same concept.

SPEAKER_05 2:00:46

And then I put like like uh the seat covers that are they're folded, like when you pull one out, it's folded. I put two here, two here, to here, you know, and just yeah, because you can just put one. Just do the heavy.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:59

You fucking pull one and then you sit down and bitches on that shit.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:02

No, bitches don't put nothing on the fucking toilet, and then there's you know, supposedly squatting on the motherfucker, and then there's they still pissed all over the dance. Me, that's what I heard. That pisses me off.

SPEAKER_08 2:01:14

That um they stay they stay squat on the toilet, but they they put their feet on the seats on the toilet like that, and then squat on top of it.

SPEAKER_03 2:01:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:27

How true that is my fat ass could never mean? Yeah. That's like I'm not a squatter. I'd be all on the floor.

SPEAKER_06 2:01:34

Well, the Lord knows the seat would love me out.

SPEAKER_08 2:01:37

Like, I know shit all over your thigh.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:41

You know what happened to me at fucking SoFi? So I went to go see Joe Coy and Fluffy. Uh-huh. And I'm a shitter. I everything makes me shit. I told you I'm lactose. I eat stuff with cheese, cause fuck it. And I'm in the stall, and the stall doesn't close, you know? So I'm like, okay, no one's gonna come. Like, you know, this fucking bitch comes next to me, slams the door, there goes mine swinging, and I'm mid poop. Oh, then I was like, oh, so then I was like, fuck, because it was swinging to the point where I was gonna be visible, you know. So then I kind of got up and I was like, okay, let's see. And dude, a little piece of poop fell.

SPEAKER_03 2:02:15

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 2:02:17

Yeah. I'm not a squatter. I told you.

SPEAKER_00 2:02:19

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 2:02:20

I was trying to squeeze it so that it wouldn't, it was so now I see why how people get poop on the seat.

SPEAKER_08 2:02:27

Wait, but that how did the door like almost open? You didn't lock it?

SPEAKER_05 2:02:31

No, because it didn't close. You went on the big stall. I went into one of those stalls where the door, yeah, whoever fucking installs it isn't putting them like close to the level. Yeah, there's always a fucking gap. Yeah, yeah. And so I was like, fuck it, I gotta go. This is the one I got, whatever, right? Yeah, and then the bitch next to me slams her door, causing mine to fucking open. Yeah. So I was like, damn, dude. That was embarrassing.

SPEAKER_03 2:02:55

I can't poop in public unless like like I'm bubbling and I'm like, I I have to. I just I don't know. I go and I sit and I'm like now I do.

SPEAKER_08 2:03:05

Now I do because I now I can't hold it, dude.

SPEAKER_05 2:03:08

Like I'm not gonna hold it.
