The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Newly acquainted bros with nothing better to do after work so we decide to try this podcast stuff. We'll be having daily discussions about various topics from current events to whatever is on our minds. Let's get real and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.
The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
New Year, New Boundaries
We toast the New Year, trade siesta myths, and chase the idea of living on our own clock. Then we get candid about vices, loyalty, family fractures, and the comfort of old games and good music while learning to draw better lines.
• New Year customs and double-midnight thought experiment
• Clubs vs speakeasies as boundaries and calm
• Dating rules, condoms, pull-out bravado, and fear of regret
• Loyalty codes, snitching lines, and friendship ethics
• Family stories, lost anchors, and loving from a distance
• COVID jobs, firing by text, and paper trails
• Gaming nostalgia, Red Dead resets, and Duck Hunt dreams
• D’Angelo’s musicianship and why chords still heal
“Don’t forget to tune in, hit the smash button, take the smash button out and give it a good smashing and don’t call them back tomorrow… Subscribe.”
Uh he said they were only gonna be there until four thirty, so I say, Well damn. Because like they they said they're only gonna do like five hours or some shit. And uh one of uh what's his name got there like at uh like 10 30 or so when you said we were leaving? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't know, they could be live.
SPEAKER_08:Uh happy new year, everybody. Uh yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Make sure you shake it down. Like always, we're here to make sure you shake it down, like New Year's over. Hey man, you know what's crazy out of a couple of places were actually open. I mean, we just took a little Yeah, yeah, yeah. We took a year. I don't think um I don't think many corporations celebrate New Year's. I'm I'm surprised we do. You know, I'm not sure if New Year's is really considered a holiday. It is, yeah it is.
SPEAKER_08:I mean it's not like a religious thing, but it's a national thing.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, okay, that's cool.
SPEAKER_08:It's it's an all- I mean, I guess it's not a national thing if like all the world is doing it, right? So I uh it's just uh the whole world, it's uh awareness thing, really, that according to us the calendar year is over and it's time to start a new one.
SPEAKER_04:So I you know I'm a big uh like supporter of like having like I mean if everybody took the holidays off, then damn, we would that would kind of be like damn, you know. Shout out to to Burger King for being open on uh Christmas Day.
SPEAKER_08:That's how it is in Italy, from my what I understand, is like they they know how to they know how to take time off. Yeah, they know how to go on break. I think they get four days, they know how to go on break. Like I think their their break is like an hour to two hours, or whenever the hell you wake up and decide to go back to work. That's that's how they work, I guess. From my understanding, but I'm not exactly sure. Right. I haven't been there, but from from the all the American propaganda that I've seen here. Who knows how true that is?
SPEAKER_04:Well, supposedly they get like three days off over there in Europe or something, like for Christmas, Thanksgiving, all that. Like they start like the day before. So like they start so they would start yesterday, they would have today, and then tomorrow, and Friday off, if I'm not mistaken.
SPEAKER_08:I'm not sure how true that is, but from my understanding, Spain, they they have they're the ones that created the siestas. I mean, I think some most parts of Mexico still do it, but you know what a siesta is, right?
SPEAKER_04:No, what's that?
SPEAKER_08:Everybody goes home like at 11:30, goes eleven o'clock, go take a nap, go eat, take a nap, wake up around one o'clock, maybe two. In the afternoon? Because finish the rest of the day. That's how school used to be over there. When I used to go during the summertime, because I think school was year-round over there, but they would do siestas, which would they would come home and help with the I mean, where I was staying at, it was a little, you know, farming town or whatever, and right the cousins would come and help out with the chores around the house and eat and then have like a half an hour or so, and then around one o'clock or so they go back to school.
SPEAKER_04:That's not bad. Well, I mean, every every place is different, right? Yeah. Yeah. But I I feel like would you do let's say let's say the pa was on the road, right? And we had and like right now, since we're doing it, like we had a New Year's here, but then we had to fly out. That's an hour flight from like here to like New York, and then we do it like no, somewhere where the time is like two hours ahead. So when we get there, we have to do another New Year's.
SPEAKER_08:That'd be amazing, but could you see yourself doing it? I don't think is that even physically possible. I don't think I think it is because there's some places in like you would have to do it from like the cusp of like one place being like like we're literally early, early in early in the morning to start it off, and then the next place you're going to is like they're barely going to sleep when you're starting that one off. And right by the time you board the plane or whatever, that sort of shit.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, would you would you I don't even know?
SPEAKER_08:I don't is that possible?
SPEAKER_04:It is, it's possible, it's possible. Is it so like let's say let's say we were blown, let's say we're blown off right now, right? And we had two we had two shows booked, but one was in a different part, like we're doing a New Year's thing here. Boom, we're doing the New Year's thing. We're sure, you know, boom, New Year's hits, happy New Year's, and then the and then our agent's like, yo, we gotta book it. We gotta we gotta go. We hop on the flight and we end up somewhere else, and we gotta do another New Year's podcast over there. We got an hour to do it, and but and then you know what I mean, and then it hits the hour mark.
SPEAKER_08:See, this is where I wish I had we had like another co-producer so that we could be like, Hey, uh, where's the first New Year's at uh during New Year's New Year's? So I think the first like the first New Year's New Year's strike is probably Australia. That's what I was thinking too. So that would be Australia, then United States. Where does the New Year's start in the world?
SPEAKER_00:New Year begins in the Pacific Ocean. No, that's including its Line Islands and Samoa are among the first to celebrate because of their location near the international day line. They welcome the New Year hours before other countries, including Tonga, New Zealand, and parts of Australia.
SPEAKER_08:So yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, that's pretty much it, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, uh parts of Australia, Australia meaning that would be the first bigger continent in uh New Zealand too, to get hit, you know, the first wide mass population of people to get hit with the New Year's.
SPEAKER_04:I hear I heard their New Year's gets wild.
SPEAKER_08:I heard their New Year's is like I wouldn't mind it. You know, that's the thing is like I think I think Australia is like put just they're pushing for more people to come to the country, but I think like they're really selling it to like Anglo Saxons out here to the white folk out here, to the cocks, to the Caucasians out here. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_04:I don't know. I you know, I wouldn't mind going to visit Australia. Maybe Sydney? Sydney, beautiful women. Oh, dude. I wouldn't doubt it. Beautiful women. I don't doubt it. Women, I wouldn't doubt it. They're in Ireland.
SPEAKER_08:Ireland pack for redheads, man.
SPEAKER_04:I'm telling you. You know, I actually met an Ireland chick. She was cool. She was cool. I met her for a few brief hours at a little uh gathering. It was like uh this was years ago. But they're pretty cool. Most of them are Donna Irv.
SPEAKER_08:Sexy accent. Oh, you're not I love me redheads, but I mean natural redheads. If they're European, that's the only European I could stand is a uh female red-headed European. Not a blonde? Not a brunette. I mean, yeah, I could put up with them. You know, I'll stand I'll I'll I'll stand uh you know I could put up with them, but yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Right, right. Well, any Irish ladies out there looking for someone? My boy over here. Segil Mahalla.
SPEAKER_08:Oh no. Save your time and breath, women, because uh his heart's already taken. Sorry, women. Damn. I'm a monk right here. Here's monk Sam.
SPEAKER_04:Going to the Himalayas?
SPEAKER_08:You think you think they celebrate uh New Year's? The monks? You're in the monastery right now, bro. This is a freaking monastery uh Saint Saint uh Saint Bambalo.
SPEAKER_04:No fear in the dojo. Yeah, no, I mean when we do the pod, it turns, it feels like it does turn into that. You know what I mean? I don't know.
SPEAKER_08:But it is uh You just gotta embrace it, you know? Yeah, definitely. I'm done, I'm done with them. I'm done with them, dude. I'm done with them.
SPEAKER_04:I'm done with them until until they come around that corner, maybe six. That's what they say, that's what they say avoiding them like the plague, bro. You can't avoid them when you go out.
SPEAKER_08:I mean, brother, you have no idea.
SPEAKER_04:That's why, that's why me, like, I like going to the like, I'm not really a big club kind of guy. I'd rather go to like a grocery store, like a speakeasy, you know, a little low-key little bar. Yeah. You know? But it's just so I'm gonna put I'm gonna put it like this.
SPEAKER_08:My mom, I grew up with my mom calling me a masochist. A masochist? Yeah, and and I proudly embraced it in the cause, you know, just being like, oh yeah, I'm a masochist. I think I realized that yeah, I'm a fucking masochist because this is this chick, dude. I'm like, oh yeah, dude. I love it, dude.
SPEAKER_09:Is that like what it all?
SPEAKER_08:So when I hear that. I met my match, dude. Now it's like uh now I don't want none of that pain, bro. None of it. I'm I'd rather I'd rather uh I'd rather be like the homeboy on on uh Wu Tang clan. I don't know his name. Did you hear about that? The homeboy from Wu Tang clan? Nah. One of the later members that chopped off his dick. Yeah, bro. Why? Because he realized that that was the source of all his problems, bro. Damn, it's not that serious, though. Oh, it was that serious, dog. He he not only did he chop it off, I think he jumped off a balcony too. He threw it off a balcony, one of the two, I forget. Look at how dude it happened like it happened like like six, seven years ago, bro.
SPEAKER_04:He was getting so much play that it became a problem.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, it became a problem. What are you talking about? Alimony, fucking baby mamas, all that bullshit. And he realized, you know, he can't. If I didn't have this dick, I wouldn't be having to pay all this alimony, I wouldn't be or maybe just wrap it up. I wouldn't be as broke as I as I am because that's where I was probably realized that's where uh the root of his problems come from because he couldn't keep in his pet.
SPEAKER_04:Bro, did it didn't they have condoms by then? Can't you just wrap it up?
SPEAKER_08:Come on, Brian. You really use condoms?
SPEAKER_04:Nine times out of ten, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:Really? Yeah. Wow.
SPEAKER_04:I'm not trying to have a baby, but that's just me.
SPEAKER_08:Then I must be sterile.
SPEAKER_04:That's just me. Nine times out of ten. I don't want to go there, right? But like nine times out of ten, I'm scared to have a kid, right? So I got I keep it like I keep it.
SPEAKER_08:Okay, so I'll put it like this. I'll I'll wear a condom, but I know that's just a courtesy thing, dude. That's a courtesy that shit goes out the window after the first fuck, dude. Especially if you hit it good enough, dude. They don't give a fuck. They're like, whatever. And then it's gone from there. That's that's what I can tell from my experience. And I might be pumping myself up a little bit, but uh all I can tell you is that like, yes, I have worn rubbers, but it's been out of courtesy because they've requested it. Right. But then after like the second or third session, it's just like out the window. It's like you're huffing and puffing at the end of the session, sitting there, like do you wear rubbers? Like, oh now you're worried about it.
SPEAKER_04:So, so but like you're not you know you wouldn't be worried about having a kid at the well, I mean no, but I'm saying like like now, like let's say you let's say you meditate.
SPEAKER_08:Well, I'm 45 years old. I'm I'm I'm damn near 45 years old, dog.
SPEAKER_01:Right.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I know and I understand how biology works and that men can keep getting women pregnant till way late in their lives, but women stop like at around 40, 45 years old.
SPEAKER_04:That's still a risk I'm not.
SPEAKER_08:I guess you can call me the pull out king, baby, because uh, I'm gonna tell you right now, love. I'm gonna tell you right now, bud. I'm gonna tell you right now, dude. The pull-out game is strong with this one. Pull-out game, yeah. The pull-out force is strong within me, my friend.
SPEAKER_04:That's tough, you know, because that's tough. But I mean it's something.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, not tough for me. I'm gonna tell you that right now.
SPEAKER_04:I've I've only well I haven't been in too many relationships, you know, and but the ones I have been in.
SPEAKER_08:Oh, believe me, I have never I've been in too many relationships. You don't have to be in a relationship, right? Right.
SPEAKER_04:No, I hear you. But even even the ones where I do meet just for a brief moment, I usually, you know, even you know, even if they don't ask, I just I don't know. It's kind of like just I keep it, keep it close by. And not that there's you know.
SPEAKER_08:It's what I it's what I've never believed this, didn't even think about it, never even thought about it till after my wife and I started meeting other women and stuff. Especially that six year, seven year long relationship I had right after my wife. But did she tell me where she told me there's always somebody better? There's always somebody better better out there. Yeah, yeah, but here's the thing about that, right? Well, bitch. Here's the thing about that. And when your lady tells you that, you know, it's like, you know, that kind of that's kind of singed into your brain. And you know, that that takes you for a whole, you know, that starts up, that opens up a whole nother world for you. Like, bitch, you're right. There is there really is somebody always uh there's always always somebody better out there.
SPEAKER_10:Here's my thing, right?
SPEAKER_08:I told her there's never for me, there's not somebody better, but if there's somebody willing, you best believe. Don't nobody have to be better. They just have to be willing. Right, right, right, right. Well, the thing is I'm thinking about it.
SPEAKER_10:I should uh rip that, you know.
SPEAKER_08:Hey, bro, I'm not as a matter of fact, uh I'm not gonna play devil's advocate, man. So, you know, you let me know. I'll gladly pack it. It is almost cashed, I think. So I was actually gonna load it. I actually just cashed it. But I will load it. I do have a fresh nug. It's the last of my shit, which I'm willing to because um I'm not gonna lie.
SPEAKER_04:You know, since tomorrow's uh I figure since tomorrow's a new month again, I I pretty much I pretty much completed a whole month, but I'm not gonna lie.
SPEAKER_08:Uh honestly, it almost feels like you completed like three months, to be honest. True, true, but it's two and a half. I've been counting. I'm not gonna lie, bro. I've been counting myself.
SPEAKER_04:Two and a half, yeah. It has been that far. That's not like but it's like I know I know I'm gonna be there for another month at least. Another month or two before.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, one one bowl or one month one night session, not gonna be that you know you'll probably work that off your system in like a week or two, actually two weeks. Yeah, no, fuck it. Let's do it. Because it's not in your shit. Yeah, no, no, and I'm not too worried.
SPEAKER_04:But I do want to get to this. Um the thing about there's always somebody better out there, which is always true, right? Just like there's always a better job, just like there's always a better dis, there's always better.
SPEAKER_08:It's never been that for me. Whenever I've been in a relationship with somebody, with a woman, it's always been that. It's there's never that's my end game. Once I'm find happiness and I feel like that's that's the woman, that's it. There's no I'm done looking. I'm not even yeah, I'll admit, yeah, what guy doesn't look at porn? Yeah, you have your your one in the million guy that's like, oh, I love my woman. I'll never yeah, come on, bro.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, but even then, like like if if if I'm with a chick, right, and if I'm not with her and I step out, I'm gonna, you know, I'm not that I'm looking like crazy, but if I see a girl, I'm like, damn, she looked bad, you know. But if I'm with my woman, I'm not gonna be disrespectful checking out other chicks in front of me. Of course, yeah, for sure, for sure. No, but my thing is is what I was trying to get at is if you're always looking for something better, you're never gonna be happy with what you got. You know what I mean? And I know I feel like, and and I feel like this is for both sides, for because some dude, I I know people I know, you know, I met.
SPEAKER_08:See, I wish you'd have told me that back then. I'd told that bitch that and it'd be a different story. But see, I'd probably be married with uh my second set of fucking kids or whatever right now.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, no, no, but see it goes for both men and women, right? Because I know dudes who had a badass chick at home, and I'm we're over here at the bar and he's over here. I'm like, dude, she's she's not even as good looking as your wife. I mean, not she's not bad looking, but yeah, but that's not the thing, though. I mean, I've I've been there, dude. Like, but that's what blows my mind. It's like if if I'm gonna go out of my way, it's just the conquest, bro.
SPEAKER_08:It's the thrill of the hunt, bro. Doesn't even matter what the bitch looks like, as long as you you were able to take it down, you know, toss it all around and all that bullshit. Put it in remote like a bear, you know. Yeah, you have it in your jaws, toss it all around, and you know, all that shit.
SPEAKER_04:I know, definitely. That's why it's kind of hard, bro. That's why it's kind of hard to trust and build trust with somebody, because it's like, you know, for me, when it comes to a relationship, I always I always feel like one person is enough, but that's just me, right?
SPEAKER_08:Me too, me, honestly, me too.
SPEAKER_04:Like you said, I'm not gonna say I don't go out. Like if I if I step out and I'm dating and we've been together for a while, like if I step out with the homie and he's like, damn, check out old girl, like yeah, she's bad and all that. But I'm not gonna go. Right, to go, you know, but everybody's different. I've been with my homeboy, and you know, not even and this is a while back, but we'll go out. He's over there making it to some bitches and shit, and I'm like, that's cool, you know? I don't, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not the type to go back and be like, oh, your your dude was doing this. Nah, hell nah. We cool. That's you know, yeah, I and that's one thing I want to talk about too, bro. If if you guys, if we're if we're cool, I don't because there's people like that, bro. And I and I seen it where they get, I don't know why, they'll get upset. They're like, oh, you got a girl at home. Like, nigga, does it matter? Like, bro, does it matter what he's got? You're out to have a good time. If he's gonna do that, let him do it. Yeah, it's between him and whoever he's in, right? Exactly. Don't go back and don't go hating. Exactly. Don't go hating, yeah. Or go back and kind of give your his girl hints, like, oh yeah, we went down.
SPEAKER_08:That's hating, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, bro. But it's like, why, dude? Like, if you're if you're gonna do that, then might as well not even call him your homeboy, or mighty, you know?
SPEAKER_08:Why even call him a gum hang up?
SPEAKER_04:Exactly, bro. Like, to me, that just seems like you're trying to find some dirt on him to get with his girl or some shit. And for me, bro.
SPEAKER_08:Some of us learn that lesson the hard ways, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_04:But for me, for me, bro, like I've been in that in situations where like, dude, I don't care how bad your girl looks. Uh there's too many, there's too many other women out there, if especially if we're tight like that, like if we're chilling, we're having beers, we're we're locked in, there's too many vicious out there for me to be trying to, you know what I'm saying, bro?
SPEAKER_08:First of all, I'm not here to keep tabs on nobody, right? No, you know what I mean, but you know you you're the one wearing the fucking wedding ring dog, you know. Just don't be asking me to lie. Right, that's don't be asking me to get involved in your bullshit. Don't be fucking telling her Sam, Sam will tell you this and that, or you know, homeboy will tell you this, the homie will tell you that there's it can vouch. No, I don't know, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because I'm gonna tell you straight up, if you're gonna involve me in this, I'm gonna tell, I'm gonna I'm gonna tell the truth. I I'm just I don't get I'm I'm a non-fucks giving motherfucker. Just because like when I go out, I've never done something like that. But but but believe, if I ever did something like that around other people and friends that knew my knew my other partner, my partner, my other, my lady and stuff while I was going out and trying to step out, yeah. I would believe and trust that one of them's gonna eventually say something to one. There's no way, dude, that you can go out with any homie whatsoever and not ever think that that shit's never gonna get. The only way shit's never gonna get to your partner is if you go out by yourself and nobody else. Right. This is why I don't like like the the the putting an example like the the chick that I was with this last time, she has her she has her her her homegirls that when she was married, that her husband was alive, like her they had their thing. They were a clique. Do you understand what I'm saying? Right. It's like they were all married. The women hung out, they had their own little clique. The men, they would all hang out. They had they had their like mane one time, but every once in a while, because the women is the one that they're while they were all gathering together, they would always have their little gatherings. Let's go have this or go out to do that, or it's you know whatever the fuck women, especially Mexican women, do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, this New Year's, this holiday's coming, let's fucking get you know, fucking all that bullshit. Fucking cook that baby into that fucking bread, whatever the fuck that bullshit is, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:You gotta find the baby and the bread, or yeah.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, right, right. That sort of shit. But but like and then she would tell me that they would, you know, every once and then the men would go out, do their like her husband and and their husbands would go out and do something. And it would always be like one of them was the one that was into their shit, into their rice. And the one that was like, let's go to the strip club and all this other bullshit. But believe me, this is why I say that is because she told me that oh, she knew everything you know that was going on with all that bullshit. It's like, dude, come on. If you have a friend who you're doing this shit with and their he their wife doesn't have no idea, then that's not a friend. It's that's somebody that's just trying to use you to fucking go because see here's the thing go do their thing, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_04:It's it's they're using you as a as a way to like a Patsy. Yeah, yeah, no, because what happens is I noticed this too, where for instance, they'll be like, Oh, when they call, they'll be like, Oh, I'm out with Danny, and you're not even out, or I'm out with Joe, and you're not even out with Joe. And then you call Joe, I'm be like, hey, yeah, I had family members that done that, dude. And they're like, hey, if you hear from my from my wife, or she asked, I was with you all day. Like, bro, that's oh yeah, that's that's a that's that's kind of like come on, man.
SPEAKER_08:I had family members who I had to tell, dude, like, hey dude, after after the second or third time, the second or third baby mama's is like, hey dude, you know, I'm gonna tell you straight up, bro, I ain't lying for you no more, dude. Yeah, I know why you're doing this. I'm going along because you know that I'm gonna go along with this shit. I'm not gonna throw you under the bus. But but but I'm telling you right now, dude, if I'm getting those call those calls, dude, because all it took was that one call, dude, from the the his last like sugar mama, basically, as you could call her, because like dude, you would go, I would go visit him so my kids can hang out with his kids, and dude, I'm telling you, like, this house was like a fucking museum. Like, we would stay there. I I hated staying there because it felt like a museum, dude. It felt cold. You know what I'm saying? Empty. Not empty, it was furnished and everything, but it was just like, dude, everything was in its place, and you can, you know, you have three kids and then they have four kids, and kids are running around everywhere, and they're wanting to keep everything nice and order and neat, like like it's a fucking like like you're at the fucking uh the royal palace in London or whatever, you know what I'm saying? Yeah with three kids like this, that must be hard to maintain. And then you have another three kids running around on top of that, dude, because my kids on top of their kids, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_04:That must be hard to maintain.
SPEAKER_08:And so, but there was like a sterile environment that that uh upper middle class, like you don't see clutter like this, and you know what I'm saying? It's like they can't stand it tonight. Right, exactly. But it's I hated that, dude. But this is the type of caliber of women that my family member had. Do you understand what I'm saying? Right. And then when you get that phone call after being out two nights in a row, like a day and a half, just it started out in the night and ended up at the end of the next night, like, what the fuck? Where where have we been at? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Right. That's just it ended like the next morning, you know, the into the night, into the next morning. That sort of shit. And then you get that phone call like a day out later after that, like, have you seen your cousin? Like a day and a half ago. Oh, well, they told me. Well, I was like, why? He's like, well, because he hasn't been home ever since you guys left. Like, I the last time I saw him was when I saw the two of you leave here.
SPEAKER_04:Like, we're like, what?
SPEAKER_08:What? And it's been like three days, like four days, like what? Like, yeah. And then like four calls later, you still haven't talked to him. Like, no, like, why? What's going on? Well, it's just because uh the savings account is drained out.
SPEAKER_09:Damn, like that, like damn, bro. Savings account, not the savings account.
SPEAKER_08:Savings account.
unknown:Damn, bro.
SPEAKER_08:Not even the not even damn, not even the check, not even just the savings account. Trust that a lot of that money, the majority of that money was not earned by him. But it was not earned by my family member, bro.
unknown:Not the kids.
SPEAKER_08:Think about the children.
SPEAKER_04:That's that's something else. That's something else. The savings account. See, that's why that's why.
SPEAKER_08:That's that rock star lifestyle, huh? That's that rock star lifestyle, huh?
SPEAKER_04:And and I'm not knocking nobody, bro, because it's hard, right? Life is hard, and uh, I'm just I just thank God that I never got into anything like that, you know. Like, I mean it's it's hard to quit smoking already, even if it's cigarettes, whatever the case may be.
SPEAKER_08:It's never been that hard for me. It never really has. I'll admit, dude, uh, I've had you, I've told you about my vices, dude. But I'll admit that like when I when it was time for me to be done with it, it was time for me to be done with it, dude. I I allowed myself. That that's been always been the difference between me and most people that I know. And I'm not like trying to like, I just know myself. It's like if I'm going through hard times and I need to really fucking forget some shit and numb the shit out of myself, dude. Believe me. If there's a substance that's readily available that's gonna be able to help me achieve that, I'm fucking all in, dude. Right. And I will be able to manage that and maintain myself and maintain the bills I have to pay and everything. Minimally, like, you know what I'm saying? Like bare minimum sleep. To give you an example of the last substance, last vice I was in, bare minimum sleep up for like five, six, seven days seven days out of the week, dude, straight. You know, that's what I'm saying. And but but when it was obvious, like it wasn't I never I've never had to go to rehab. I've never had withdrawals. I've never understood what withdrawal. I mean, I'm sure that I've had the symptoms of it, but it to me it's like I'm a fat boy anyways, dude. Like I my diet is so was so bad in those days that like if I was going through withdrawals, I just chalked it up as oh shit. I had way too much seed or something. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01:Right, right, right.
SPEAKER_08:Because like once I stopped doing those hard substances, then I was eating again. Right. So like if I was going through withdrawals, I was I didn't know. Yeah, no, me, um I just thought it was uh side effects of me fucking gorging and eating and pigging out again. Like, because there was a time dude where like I wouldn't eat. Like, probably I would only have like one cup of ramen noodles in like three days, dude. That was it, dude. That was it. And water, water's galore, maybe Gatorade. I didn't really like to drink too much when I was under the influence of other stuff, but like, yeah, if there was beer, I would like to take my time, maybe have like three beers throughout the whole night, just sipping on them and all that, just to you know stay hydrated, yeah, keep my beak wet and all that stuff. But other than that, it was it wasn't it obviously wasn't for the effects of it because I wasn't feeling them. Like I was so spun out that it was just like Do you know what's crazy?
SPEAKER_04:Um when I have been around people who were just playing with their nose, dude, they could drink like a fish. I'm talking about and oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm and I'm drinking, I'm and you know me, I don't I I just smoke my pot or whatever, but dude, I'd be like, damn, girl, like that's your fifth, that's your tenth beer. And they just fish out of water, like a fish out of water, like a fish out of water. And and I don't know if you've seen the new uh Dave Chappelle that came out, and he's not lying, dude. It'd be the prettiest women that be playing with their nose, bro. It'd be the you know, and I and like I said, I'm not knocking nobody, but my thing is like the skinniest too, yeah, bro. And and and I, you know, whatever the case may be, but damn, these people they'll drink like a whole 10, 12 beers, and I'm already on my eighth beer and I'm good.
SPEAKER_08:I'm like, yo, I'm oh you're gonna tell me, dude. That was that that was my party trick, dude. Show up at a party, get fucking ripped, dude. Have a little baggie with me, dude. And like, oh, fucking stupid and shit. Just go, all right, guys, you guys want to see the cool? Fucking slobbering all over myself, damn near peeking and all that bullshit all over myself. Then I go to the bathroom, come back. All right, guys, where's the fuck's the party at? Where's the punk table at? Let's go.
SPEAKER_09:Like, damn, bro, you was just over there dying.
SPEAKER_04:Like, I'm revived. That's like a revive. Self-revibe right there. Self-revive yourself real quick. That's crazy. Respawn right there, I need to respawn real quick. And you know what's funny too? Like, I'm I I went, I remember I went to a party with my homeboy, and um, and you could just tell because these guys, it's like it's funny because they come out the bathroom and they're just oh I'm like, damn, bro, hey, I'm like four or five of you motherfuckers in one tiny ass bathroom.
SPEAKER_09:Like, came out like whoa, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I said, damn, bro.
SPEAKER_04:You know, and like I said, I'm not knocking nobody. Everybody has their vice, everybody has their way and whatnot. And uh, from to be honest, me, I don't really drink, and I've been I've been clean for almost uh what like uh two months. And uh the only thing for me really is just dreams. Dreams get more intense, dude.
SPEAKER_08:You know, I have noticed that because I had I did, you know, I was out at weed for a little bit, so you should have told me I keep forgetting. No, no, no, you but you know that was that one moment that I was out for a little bit or whatever. Right. Yeah, you kept telling me I was should have brought you uh bringing back anyways. I did go to sleep a couple times, just barely smoking anything, dude. I remember having some vivid ass dreams. I don't remember what they are now, but I do remember having some like dude.
SPEAKER_04:I dude, they my dreams, like I'd say like when I was when I was smoking, I didn't really dream. You know what I mean? I don't know why, I don't know what it is. Are we good? Yeah, we're good. Okay, I thought we were doing this whole thing and uh but dude I I had these vivid ass dreams to the point where I would wake up and thank god that they were just dreams. Because I would wake up like dude, most of my dreams, I don't know why I would catch bodies, dude. Catching bodies in my dreams, dude. What do you mean catching bodies? Like I was I was murky motherfuckers in my dreams, dude. Like I don't know why, dude. But like nine times out of ten, if I was dreaming of like the last dream I had, bro, it was so crazy and that that I know I killed somebody, right? In the dream, but I woke up like damn near out of breath. Like, thanking God it was a dream, dude. Yeah, yeah, fucking.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh you know what? Before I do that, I go ahead and uh take over the mic. I'm gonna go change out the sweater real quick. But I'm pretty sure those people catching bodies, huh?
SPEAKER_04:Dude, I don't know.
SPEAKER_08:Like, uh, give us a give us an example that whatever you're doing.
SPEAKER_04:So dude, the last dream I remember, bro, it was like it was around this time, it was snowing. I was in a building, I was talking to some dude, and I can't remember what we're talking about, but for some reason, I don't know if it was like a deal gone wrong or if he just says something, and next thing you know, dude, I remember just just banging him with a hammer, you know what I mean? And the dude passed out, knocked out, and I was like, damn, I think I killed this motherfucker, man. And I step out, dude, and I remember it was snowing, it was cold, it was nighttime, and I remember hoping no one would see me, bro. But for some reason, this old lady happened to be out across the street, across the way in a building, just chilling on her porch, on her stoop. And she was just chilling, and she kind of looked at me and I said, fuck. And I just walked away, bro. And I walked away, and I remember going home like in my dream and just thinking the whole time, like, damn, I don't am I gonna have to go to Mexico? Am I gonna have to like leave this the country or you know, just like just dude? I don't know, dude, but it felt real or it felt that real, bro. I and and I woke up thinking, bro, and I woke up thanking God that it was just a dream, bro. Cause dude, I don't know what it is, but like when I'm chiefing, I don't really dream like that. Or if I do, they're not as intense, they're not nothing.
SPEAKER_08:I know, dude, because when you're chiefing, you're fucking keeping down those those uh what do you call that? Those the instincts or whatever it is that you call that. I mean that's why I smoke, dude, because like I smoke because things things get to me, bro, like hard. Like if and and I know like the females in my life, dude, they know how to get to me, bro. And and they know how to and and and and they know how to manipulate that because like when they shut and they know there's something, I shut down, bro. Like I shut, I just I don't want to hear it. I don't even want to look at you. Don't even like if you keep on bugging me and wanting to talk, dude. I'm I'm fucking I'm leaving, dude. I'm gone, dude. Like till I'm able to fucking get over it and be able to look at you in your fucking face and talk to you again and be able to stand your voice and all that bullshit. You're like, I'm not I shut down, dude. I shut down. And there's been times to that point where like you you're like in a like I said, five-year relationship with somebody, dude. And they already know you to that point, you know? Right. So they know how to push that button to like uh how can I fucking fucking get this guy out. I want to go out and do something, but I don't want this guy to come with me. How can uh oh I fucking did-da-da-da-da-da-da, and then next thing you know, I'll bitch. And then next year, well, I'm leaving, I'm gonna I I gotta go do something. You know, it's like I told you we have to go do this. Like, there was a plan, like you have a plan. We're gonna go to my sister's on fucking Tuesday, and then Tuesday night, and then Tuesday afternoon, she's like, Oh, I did this and that. Like, it's something that just will throw you off your fucking game, dude. And it's like, you know what I mean? And you're like, oh, I I well, we gotta go to my sister's like, bitch, I ain't going nowhere with you no more. You know, I think it's uh this is just that's but that's that's where I realized is like you have to know how to control yourself because if you don't know how to control how to throw people for a loop, or you're always just showing that one aggression, and you're just showing that you're gonna shut down and you're gonna go lock yourself up in your room and just say fuck fuck the whole world for the rest of the night, dude. The people most important in your life will know how to fucking play that. Use that as a fucking chip, you know what I'm saying? That that I just know how to manipulate you with that shit, you know what I'm saying? True.
SPEAKER_04:For me, I feel like that just comes with time and experience, knowing how to control your emotions and how to not let people manipulate you. Because even even still, right, you could be you could be 60, you could be 55, and you you still have those little corks that they know, you know. I mean, oh, there's little things, but for the most part, like me, look, me personally, little things would get to me for sure when I was younger that a girl would do, like, not like like oh saying this and that. Now I'm a little bit more better. I'm not saying I could I could control it better, but I'm a little bit better at like not caring as much, you know. She could whatever.
SPEAKER_08:Have you lived with a woman before?
SPEAKER_04:Have I lived with a woman?
SPEAKER_08:Not not live, but we I mean you share the space in a sense.
SPEAKER_04:Like we stay together, like we spend nights together, like not just not like not like actually live, live like yeah, like every day, not every day. Okay, thank you. So put it like this like we would we would I would stay over her place for like no no I get that I get that to me it was it was almost it was almost like you So no, so no, no, I'm gonna put it to you like this.
SPEAKER_08:So think about like when you're living with your brothers and sisters. That's pretty much what it turned into when you're living, when you're living with with with your partner, dude. I love my family, don't you? You get to know every in and out when they wake up to take a shit, how they take their shit, what their shit smells like. I'm telling you, dude, every in and out of their life, you find out every single little quirk, dude. Every single little quirk, dude. Everything, everything, things that they didn't want you to find out, even bro. That you just like from just being around, you said you tend to put things together and it's like for real, bitch. For real.
SPEAKER_10:Well, that's the thing, right? Like this is my uh my theory, and this is just my philosophy, right?
SPEAKER_04:Like the first chick that ever really like we really spent like a lot of time together like that, I feel like you you you have to be like kind of prepared to kind of like for stuff like that. You know, you're gonna you're gonna see parts of her that you didn't think you were gonna see.
SPEAKER_08:You're gonna Yeah, you can always tell yourself, yeah, I'm gonna there's some shit I'm gonna see that I'm not gonna like, but dude, there's but that's but even telling yourself that and being and trying to prepare yourself for that sort of thing does not really prepare you for that shit. Would just like be like, oh shit, like you're on this side of the field thinking like oh shit, she's gonna come out of like fucking left field on me with some bullshit, and she comes way out of fucking way far right field, like, oh what the fuck is this shit? You know what I'm saying? That sort of shit.
SPEAKER_04:But it's like I think that kind of like that's where you kind of pick and choose, like, alright, am I gonna am I gonna stay? Or is this shoot I stay? You shit back up. You know what I mean? You know, cause because it's like you and and and depending on how long you've already been with the chick, right? Because look, I'm gonna put it like this, right? I'm not gonna lie, bro. I'm not gonna lie. This one, I wouldn't.
SPEAKER_08:I've been a lifer from day one, dude. I'm not gonna lie. I'm I'm a lifer from day one, dude. Once I see the part the the fucking the clouds, the skies open part, the the the clouds part and and the fucking the sunshine come down and the birds and the unicorns are flying around and the angels are singing, then that I'm that's it, dude. That's my day one, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, no, and and I feel like and I feel like you know I think that that's always the good the the best possibility, you know? Cause honestly, dude, I feel like dating gets harder as people get older, especially with dating ads. It doesn't almost the same.
SPEAKER_08:It gets easier. Really? The older you get, yeah. There's a spot like between 35 and 45 where you do get play, it gets easier. But then you just kind of have to there's a dying of oneself where you just realize and accept that that especially if you're in my project in traject uh trajectory where you've already had kids and they're already gonna be adults in their own self where you just kind of accept you first of all, I've been one to want to I've always loved my my solitude. I love my solitude, I love my alone time, all that shit. Right. But you really learn to embrace it, you know what I'm saying? Because like you love it in those times, but when you like you realize that's all you have and nothing but solitude, it's like damn it. I actually miss this bitch now. You know what I'm saying? Like when she was nagging me about you know leaving my socks in the fucking middle of the floor, or you know, this and that, you know, that she was annoying back then, but it's you know, but whatever. But it's you eventually, like by your mid to late 40s, you're like this is it. I mean, what what else is it? I already had my kids, they're already you know, I'm having to worry about my grandkids, which that's what I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to having grandkids, dude. I really am. Like whether I'm alone or you have a partner or whatever, I'm so looking forward to that. My kids are gonna hate me. So my kids are gonna hate me so much.
SPEAKER_10:Ah, you know, I doubt it.
SPEAKER_08:I mean, it's good that you've got they hate me enough already, believe me. You might not see it, but they hate me.
SPEAKER_04:Well, I don't know, they tend to come around anyways, you know.
SPEAKER_08:But yeah, you got no choice.
SPEAKER_04:No, but I mean, that's what I'm saying too.
SPEAKER_08:We uh all of us don't have a choice. I'm just kidding. We do, some of us do. You know, I'm just fucking around. Yeah, no, you know, I'm downplaying it, but you know, yeah. I'm very grateful about these kids. I pray about them all the time, and I love them and all that stuff, but like you just have to downplay it, dude. You can't you can't be too prideful about shit because you know, pride comes before the fall, and that's the one main thing in my life that I don't ever want to ever go sour because of anything that I've done or thought or said or did. So yeah.
SPEAKER_04:No yeah, definitely, man. Shout out to kids, man. For sure. No yeah, you know, because I know I know a lot of you know, a lot of people they grow up without their pops or whatever. And like you said, maybe they reach out, maybe they don't.
SPEAKER_08:Well, some of us grew up with our pops, but just not how we not not in the ideal we want them to be in the ideal role that we want them to be. I guess you you think that Some of us too don't grow up with no any recognition, not even maybe half of a name, maybe like me. I don't the name I have might be, might not be, I don't know.
SPEAKER_04:You think if you if you could change your name, would you change it?
SPEAKER_08:Uh I've thought about it a lot of times. Actually, the only reason I keep it is because it was also my grandma's last name.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, that makes sense. My grandma raised me, so right, right. Wanna keep that. Yeah. Well, I mean, I still thought about changing it. Yeah. Yeah. For other reasons, just because uh those exact same family members know my fucking social security number by heart, and yeah, I do. My social security is shot the shit. My identity is shot the shit.
SPEAKER_01:Right.
SPEAKER_08:I'm not blaming them for them, but I mean, I know they know my identity. My so you all you need is a social security number and a name and a birthday, and that's it, dude. That's it, right? That's crazy. And so I'm gonna tell you right now, yeah. I love my I love my cousins and I've always considered them brothers, but I've never once heard that word come out of their mouths when they when it comes when it comes to me. So, you know? True. But that's the that's the price I pay, I guess, right?
SPEAKER_04:I think we all pay a price when it comes to family.
SPEAKER_08:Well, when we choose it or not. We all pay a price when we choose our family or when we just have family with family in general, right? But it almost seems like it's a bigger one when we try to choose the family. Yeah, yeah. It's not like you can choose, right? Like that.
SPEAKER_04:Exactly, right? No, I mean uh everybody's families wouldn't.
SPEAKER_08:No, I love them still to this day. Yeah, I don't know where that sentiment lies anymore because as much as I've cared about them and worried about them and stuff like that. I mean, whatever. And I know they don't think I I know they think I'm being fake about it, but whatever. That's their take on it. Right. You know, it's that whole sentimentality of hey bro, I love you from way over here and you way over there, bro. You know, but every time you're like right here, it's it's a whole different story. That's it, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:You know, not really sometimes it's like that, you know? Where you love family from a distance, and then maybe everybody rather love them from afar than hate them from up close, bro. That's when the family reunions.
SPEAKER_08:And believe me, it's the sentiment that goes both ways. I've seen it in my family. So that's since my grandma passed away, since the grand since the rocks of this family, you know, took their leave, it was every man for themselves. So that's how it's gotta be sometimes, you know. And I was the last one my grandma raised, I guess. Well, besides my kids and all that, but like, you know. Like I spent a lot of time with my grandma, a lot of time.
SPEAKER_04:Well, they're always looking out, you know, for sure. You know, grandmas are cool, man. You know, I'm thankful to have my grandma around still.
SPEAKER_08:Here's two Lilitas right here, buddy. Cheers.
SPEAKER_04:Salute. I'm pretty sure a lot of people could relate to having their grandma around.
SPEAKER_08:You know, and that's what I'm saying. I can't wait, dude. I know I was a bastard to my kids. I know I'm I know my kids have said it will tell you some stories, bro. I know they will. I know they've told me some stories like motherfucking, what the fuck are you talking about? I don't remember it that way. I think you got me mixed up for somebody else, dude. For real. But no, they'll tell me some stories that I vaguely remember, but the way they tell them is like, nah, nah, nah, nah, no, no. And you did this, and like, no, no, no, no, hold the fuck up, dude. I didn't know all that. They even got video proof. They said, we got proof. That's crazy. Nah, but uh like I will admit, like, shout out to the the the Way family out there. If this shit ever crossed their ears, I do miss them a lot. And I only say that because they the kids do miss little miss uh little miss Way quite a bit as well. So what's that like the family out there? Uh yeah, that's uh one of the greatest loves of my life, just put it that way. Still to this day, always will be. Well, circumstances change, but that doesn't mean that that their spot in my heart does so. Right. You know what I mean? Hopefully they hear this. Hopefully they're here. Hopefully, you know, whatever it is, what it is, I understand it. It is sometimes there's things, there's stories in your life that they're just the cards have to lay the way they have to lay, and maybe they'll change later in life, and and a lot of times, and sometimes you know and accept that they're not, and and you have to just cherish the times that you had with each other at those times. And little Miss Way. If she's ever hearing this out there, you know, shout out to her. The kids the the kids miss you. They remember you. So time flies. Oh, believe me, I'm sure, believe me, she was a little she was a little missy that one. So at least call her little missy. But now she's she's cool as fuck. Her mom, there's her stepdad too, or whatever, her dad, whatever she calls him. No, I don't even know, but whatever. They were all great people. Miss them, love them, and cheers to them.
SPEAKER_10:Yeah, I know for sure.
SPEAKER_08:We all have our we all have our story to live and play, and we all have our uh blame sometimes to impart, I guess. I don't know.
SPEAKER_04:Life is a journey. Life's a journey for sure, dude. And it's I'm telling you, man.
SPEAKER_08:And we all have our faults too, and I'm not gonna lie. That's all I can say about that. We all we're all human, dude. Right. We're all human, and we, you know, nothing bad ever happened, nothing to that effect, but just enough mistrust to be like, yeah, alright. Enough of a of a of a taint of a past before that to be like, okay, well, you know, we don't really gel with how you were handling it. You know, like I said, I've had my vices, bro. Right. Not definitely. That's what I'm saying, man. I mean You know, that's just how it goes. And and I will admit, dude, I was out of all of out of everybody I've ever known, dude. I'd like to think that I probably hit it a lot better than most people, dude. I really do think that, dude. I really do, because it'd been it was like probably a couple of years into the realized it was just like, really? You just really all right, okay. Had a long run. All good things must come to then. I guess that's how I felt at the time, I guess. Yeah. I regret it now. Believe me, I regret it because I that's the penance I've been paying. That's the uh limbo I've been in the last couple of years, is the previous three, four years before that, man.
SPEAKER_04:So well, you know, they say it's good to take care of yourself now, because later you're gonna feel it.
SPEAKER_08:And believe me, it's not that bad. And and and I mean I got into it way late in my life, bro. Like, compared to like a lot of the people that I grew up with, like a lot of the people that I grew up with got into it like fuck, like early 20s, dude. I'm talking like late 30s, actually fucking early 40s, like nah, like late for late 30s, like like 39. I got into it and got really lost into it, bro. Like, probably 38. Like, well, well, nah, nah, that's not true. 36. Right. It's you know, around the time I was losing my grandma and stuff, the rock of the family.
SPEAKER_01:Down record.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, yeah. No, I hear you. This but like I'll tell you what, it's uh from the stories I've heard from some of the past friends and family members and stuff, that like they've gone through it. I just I lost myself into it to a certain point to just kill the pain. But it wasn't like I gotta maintain this, I gotta maintain this rush. No, it was no okay, no, I gotta get up and go to work, you know, that sort of shit. Or I was working, and that's really that's what it was one of those things that like helped numb me, but also helped get me going. It wasn't one, it wasn't like a downer where it was like, alright, bro, I need to fucking forget this pain and go to sleep. It was uh, alright, fucking let's do something else. I I I'm over the shit. Let's do something else to keep this over this shit going, you know what I'm saying? Right. And that's that's how it was, dude. And next thing you know, like four or five days later, you realize you haven't slept. Damn. Except for a day, for a week almost. Oh, I hit the jackpot though. Like when COVID hit, I hit the jackpot, my friend. But they was paying people to well, because like actually, I don't even want to go into it.
SPEAKER_04:Right.
SPEAKER_08:Let's not go into it because you know, let's just not. We ain't gotta go. I think I told you about it off air. Yeah, we're not gonna go into it. I like to say is COVID hit.
SPEAKER_04:That's hey, I love it.
SPEAKER_08:And I'm telling you, unemployment was fucking unemployment was the game, my friend. It was the name of the game.
SPEAKER_04:I know a lot of people would say that 20 when uh COVID hit. That was crazy, huh? People stocking up.
SPEAKER_08:COVID was the game, and unemployment was never the same. That's true.
SPEAKER_04:You know, I'm actually uh it was actually crazy for the ones that the companies that actually did make it. And I know a lot of them were asking for shots. They're like, you gotta get shots to stay.
SPEAKER_08:And that was kind of like No, I I lucked out, man. Yeah. I mean COVID had something to do with it, but it was more of a I stood my ground on my on my uh uh my job. You know how every each position, because I was I was schlepping oil at the time, so you know how each position has their response job duties, and they were trying to push me on some job duties that weren't even mine when there was this person that had just started there, and I was getting yelled at for some bullshit that wasn't even my responsibility, and it was just like, you know what? And the next morning it was by text, by text, which was even better, because like dude, I don't know to all managers out there, do not do anything by text when it comes to handling your employees, right? You know, unless it's like making sure that you have a backup or some sort of a receipt to be like, hey, I told you that your schedule was here, here, here, and here. But when it comes to firing, don't because then both parties have have records of it. Right. And when unemployment wants to know why you got fired, all you gotta do is let me send you the text. Let me show you. I don't even have to tell you. Let me just show, let me just send you the text as to what they said. There you go. That's all it took. Just the text. And I was on my way to work, dude. I was on my way to work. And oh, what the fuck? Blah blah blah blah blah. You're not doing it. Like, what are you talking about, dude? It's like, first of all, this and that, and nah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, you and I was, I was like, you know what? Never mind. I just I had already procured it, I canceled my Uber. I was like, you know what? I just got fired. Fuck that. Cool. COVID, anyways. Fuck. I just got over. I just got over getting paid two weeks for having COVID. Two weeks vacate for having COVID. Because everybody in the shop got they had to bring people from another shop in the cover or shit because everybody in the shop got COVID. And for two weeks, we were all out of commission. Getting paid. For two weeks? That's not bad. Because that was when they first that shit all first hit the fan. So for two weeks, like we all got hit with it, and I remember that day, dude. Like, I remember like the day before when I got that text, like, dude, I'm sick, everybody's sick. I think we all got COVID like this. That would explain why I felt like shit.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of people uh probably got sick. But here's the thing a lot of places weren't paying for sick days. So some people were.
SPEAKER_08:No, no, that when it first started, dude, everybody had to pay. Oh, yeah. When like that shit first hit the fan, everybody had to pay, dude.
SPEAKER_04:For six days? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. Because I I I can't remember, but like let's say somebody was scheduled to work, and what would happen was if they didn't have no sick days or they didn't have nothing, sometimes they would not here.
SPEAKER_08:No, uh that's crazy. No, because right when they did the they enforced the the shutdown, that was mandatory, no matter what, dude. There was like a six-month period where that was the thing where like hey, if you get COVID and you're down for because it was a two-week thing. Two weeks, and they were giving everybody two weeks, dude. Everybody, no matter who worked, two weeks. If you're sick and you're proven with you have to have a thing that's that proves you have COVID, two weeks, two weeks pay. Boom. No matter what. Two weeks off, two weeks pay. That wasn't uh no fucking accumulated time. It sounds like you were still working still here when when that shit, the bullshit happened, huh? Probably, yeah. That's probably why they told you that shit, dude. But no. Yeah. That was that was a federal thing. That wasn't a fucking state-by-state thing, that was a federal thing. Yeah, dude, I'm telling you. Yeah, because I know a lot of people. And that shit was bombed for two weeks.
SPEAKER_04:Some people were uh you seen you see some people were getting uh money from for their uh what you call it, the business, and they would go by Lambos or something, yeah. But they were spending on stuff that they were not supposed to.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I don't know about anymore.
SPEAKER_04:I don't know about any of that, bro. You know what I mean? Yeah, I seen that shit was crazy.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, but yeah, to think that it was a employment was rocking, that's all I could tell you, bro. It was hard to get a job those days. Oh man. Hard to get a job, I'm gonna tell you.
SPEAKER_04:Uh hard to keep a job.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah. Well, it's you could always keep a job. It was just true, you know. But like, dude, everybody was shut down. I'm telling you, dude, this was like at the I I'm sure she was different here compared to Colorado, but Colorado, dude, they took that shit serious. Everything shut down, bro. Everything shut down.
SPEAKER_04:Well, you were on it over there?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_04:And everything shut down bad. Everything shut down, bro. You run you guys running out of toilet paper and all that? Yeah. Yep. Yeah, they was doing uh they was doing the same thing over here too.
SPEAKER_08:But I noticed that like the workforce out here is different, dude. Because a lot of these businesses, while they might be big business, they they're still like independently, you know what I'm saying, like boss man here, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. I mean, he might have like a shop here, he might have a shop over there, and on the other side of the country, on the other side of the US, and you might have another shop on that side of the US, and another one over in this side, but that's still just more that ain't shit. You know what I'm saying? Compared to like McLean's or some sort of shit like that.
SPEAKER_04:Something big.
SPEAKER_08:Because McLean's everywhere, for McLean's is everywhere.
SPEAKER_04:I bet.
SPEAKER_08:We do shit for McLean.
SPEAKER_04:That's and um and you know what's crazy?
SPEAKER_08:That McLean's been around for like what? Since Since I've known, bro. And long before that, I'm sure. Oh yeah, they've been around for a hot minute to start something like that. But I'm just saying, it's like yeah, good money. Good money in McLean. So yeah, man. What's going on? What is it? This whole thing. What it because I did it's been a minute, so yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:I just that shit threw you in the funny ass loop. This whole thing. But yeah, man.
SPEAKER_08:Is this Guinness getting to you too or what?
SPEAKER_04:No, the Guinness is good too. The Guinness in the bottle?
SPEAKER_08:Because um, you said this is like five point six compared to the 4.1.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it makes a difference.
SPEAKER_08:Oh, believe me, I've noticed it too, dude. By that third one, I'm like, oh shit, I'm not feeling it. I'm in my third one now.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_08:But no, dude, it's I've been really getting into that Red Dead Redemption too. Like, I've been into it on and off, but it's been like a year and a half to since I've been playing it. Yeah. And I like for some reason, dude, I just I don't know if I just got into I know I got into kind of a depression a little bit, but like I've been just like just killing everything inside in that motherfucker, dude. Just like you know what I mean? Yeah. Red Dead Redemption one or two? Uh two. Two? I haven't played one in fucking since I beat it.
SPEAKER_06:How many is there?
SPEAKER_08:Three? There's two.
SPEAKER_06:Two?
SPEAKER_08:There's only two. There's I guess there's kind of three if you consider Red Dead Revolver a part of which I guess it kind of is a part of it. But it's just the gameplay on that one is way different than the Red Dead Redemption series.
SPEAKER_04:You know what's crazy? I heard they spent like, what, like three million on the game to make? Or more? Nah, more, right? On Red Dead Recussion 2?
SPEAKER_08:I have no idea, but let me see. Uh like it just like I didn't know that uh baby uh who was that fool that just died? RB guy that just died? He did that uh that uh sweet potato pie jam. Ooh e ooh mama. Let me get a piece of that sweet potato pie. But yeah, what's he like he had that video where he's all like naked and shit, just spinning around, just fucking singing this slow jam shit. Country boy? Nah.
unknown:Fuck.
SPEAKER_08:I wanna say babyface, it's not baby face.
SPEAKER_04:And he passed away and they're making fun of him?
SPEAKER_08:Well, I mean like we were like a couple years before he finished.
SPEAKER_06:Sweet potato pie.
SPEAKER_04:Sweet potato pie? I don't know.
SPEAKER_08:It's not dumb, no. Huh? It's not dumb, no. No, no, no, no, you gotta fuck that no. Oh, it's what you talking about. He just died too like he guess he did he also helped with the soundtrack for Red Dead Redemption 2.
SPEAKER_07:D'Angelo? D'Angelo. You remember D'Angelo? No, I don't.
SPEAKER_08:Well, he was before your time to be honest with you. Now that I think about it. But he did uh I think he did the theme song or one of the songs. The main uh song title song at the end of the the in the credit run of uh Rede Red Dead Redemption 2. He that was like one of the last projects that he that he did. Was it Sweet Potato Pie? I think my sweet potato pie pie might have been somebody else. Lady send it on cruising. I found my smile again. Devil's Pie. That might be the one. Devil's Pie. Devil's Pie? Yeah. 1998. Yeah, that sounds about right.
SPEAKER_04:That's the guy?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:And he passed away three months ago? Earlier this year for sure. I still don't know him. Let me see if I no, I'm not laughing.
SPEAKER_08:This negro right here. And I mean that in the Spanish sense. This negro right here. He he kind of looks familiar. Yeah, he he he had some jams, bro. This was before your time, though, honestly. He was like fucking late 90s, early to early nine uh early 2000s type shit. And he still kind of like kept his head in the game. He had like a couple of really good albums that were like really jazzy, really uh they were RB, but just like kind of like Erica Badu type shit. You know, Erica Badu. No. She's some kind of like African sort of northern, you know, African kind of like really jazzy singer. He was really jazzy, bro. Like he he wasn't just RB, he like did it all, bro. He did it all.
SPEAKER_04:He did like Michael Jackson's type of type shit, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, he was that talented, they said. But because he didn't like the music industry and all that stuff, he and he was very grassroots, very he just wasn't about the industry. He just wanted to make music and if he just do his own thing. And he didn't, yeah, exactly. He just if he felt like making music, he'd make it. If he didn't feel like making it, that's why he fell out for a while, because he had like a couple of like big name, like Academy Award winning for you know saying that sort of caliber type shit. Grammy award winning motherfuckers, and then he just kind of fell out just because it was just like he would tour every once in a while.
SPEAKER_04:Well, I'm I'm pretty sure he probably just wanted to live comfortably, is what it sounds like.
SPEAKER_08:But the the thing was that like he would he looked like very fit and sexy, and then uh all of a sudden at some point he like let himself go kind of like Luther Bandreau. But was he he was playing with them? Eating fucking fried chicken with the chicken skins and all the things. Oh, he oh he was just wilding out with the with the fried chicken food. No, no, I'm just kidding. He got fat he got fat, he did, but yeah, he did get let himself go for a little while and then he kind of like but he would have his moments because you know he was doing that whole RB thing since he was young in his early fucking late 19s and early twenties and shit. Right, and then that's kind of why he fell out, he just kind of got burnt out. But he, I mean, dude, I I've been watching some videos on some of his music. It's good. The music is good, but like some of these like technician musicians are like the piano players and stuff, because that was his p that was his instrument. He wrote everything on piano, but he made he fucking played these uh eccentric ass core uh chords and jazz chords and just fucking just these crazy ass jazz these circles, these chord progressions, right that like it just blew people's minds because it was like these really wild ass chords, bro. Like just wild chords, like it was a chord, but like he had this turning into this and that. It's it's crazy. Very intricate musician, like for somebody that I don't know, I don't even know what his background was. I think it was all church, but just from him just jamming on the piano, just learning. Because I've met people in my church that are like that, that like you can give them a chord progression and they'll give you they'll turn it into something that's like out of this world type of like, are you sure that's the same chord progression? And then you sing along with it, and it's like that sounds pretty good. I don't know what the fuck you're playing, but that shit sounds good. Let me hit you. Amen, brother. Amen. They said, let me give you a little something. Maybe you're making it. They put a little stank on it. Right. I mean, I'm pretty sure they have to, you know.
SPEAKER_04:They're like, let me take this real quick. Try to see. You know? But they're like, don't trip. I got you.
SPEAKER_08:Right.
SPEAKER_04:Just make it sound good. That's it. Sell the damn thing. Nah, nah.
SPEAKER_08:Nah, I mean, I do know, like, dude, there's a lot of talented people that I've ever met in my whole life. I met quite a few in in school because I spent a lot of time. First of all, I went to a pretty decent, like, it wasn't like like a prep school or anything like that, but it was like a decent at its time in the mid-90s, in the richer end of our of this little cow town that I grew up in, like, it was really well funded. I mean, the music program was great. A lot of a lot of a lot of the majority of my days, like, especially in the mornings, were like all music. Show up first class is fucking orchestra, second class is a choir, third class is jazz band. Bam, all music, and then it's lunch after that, and then you know, another three periods, because we had trimesters there.
SPEAKER_04:Sounds like a good school.
SPEAKER_08:It was pretty good. It was like you could do AP classes. We were like 10 minutes away from CU, 10 or 10-15 minutes away. So, like you, and we had CDC classes, adult program classes, like account taxing and fucking prepping your fucking taxes and home acine uh cars, working on cars, small engine type shit. All in the school? Well, this one was a separate like program that was a part of the school program, the school district.
SPEAKER_04:But it was a high school or yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:There was three, there were two high schools. There was there was two and a half, two high schools, and an alternative high school. All right. And the alternative high school was a part of the adult the it was called CDC, it was called career development. Yeah, courses.
SPEAKER_04:That's like where you only do like four hours.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, but but it wasn't like I mean, I guess maybe they I don't even think they were college credited, it was just like adult classes. Like, you know how how like you see in TV shows, like people want to learn, oh, I want to learn home economics, how to cook and stuff. So they go to some adult learning, like community classes or whatever. That's basically what this was. Okay, it was kind of community classes in a sense, and you you could pay for it, like they had a uh they had a TV broadcasting station and radio station. So like you we had a uh an access channel, a cable access channel, you know, like back in those days when you had cable, if you turn on a tune on to channel three, it was like you your local city's fucking little cable access station where they did like little fucking bullshits, but it was like somebody that lived in your community and that sort of shit.
SPEAKER_01:Right.
SPEAKER_08:That sort of shit. Oh, yeah, and that's how that was. But it but but the only people that took these classes were high school kids. So, but so as long as you were like, think I took it for two years, and the requirements were like you had to at least be a junior, and that was about it, really. You can only take it your junior and senior year, and I took it both years, bro.
SPEAKER_04:You don't have to have a certain amount of grades or nothing like that.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, it was kind of an elective, but uh believe me, I I think I barely kept like a certain amount of grades to be able to take, you know what I'm saying? It didn't really matter, you know what I'm saying? Right, as long as you're a junior believe me, I was called I was I was I was a super senior, bro. I went to high school for five years, I'll admit it.
SPEAKER_04:But you know it happens, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:But you know, it it I had fun, I made the best of it.
SPEAKER_04:And you know it's crazy because you don't really think five years is that long, but time flies, you know, suddenly for even four years.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I mean I still ended up going to uh vocational school. I went to Lincoln Tech, so graduated with a three point oh. I know I know if I really applied myself, I could do it, but there was nothing I was interested in those days besides fucking music and fucking fucking music, those two uh and smoking weed, but music or I guess yeah, that was that was the order too. Fucking music and smoking weed. That's pretty much the three combinations of uh music, you know. At least when you're in your in your teens and shit, right?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, also yeah.
SPEAKER_08:No, so I mean, I mean, right, I'll admit it, like right after I got dropped out my fifth year of college or high school college, I wish, I went into a punk I joined a punk band. I mean, I dropped out of school, I was pretty much already in a punk band, like a few, quite a little bit when I got into my fifth year, but like by the time I dropped out of my fifth year, that was full blown. That was like that was like, all right, well, I might as well just this shit's done with, I might as well just go do this, you know.
SPEAKER_04:So how long did you do that?
SPEAKER_08:I had about a year and a half or so. Oh that's cool. I mean, enough to make a do do a demo. I wrote like three, though I'll never be accredited for it. I did write like three songs at least for uh for this band. I I won't say who, I mean, whatever. It doesn't really matter because I've written better stuff since then, I've sold better stuff since then and forever. It was a good time in my life, it was a fun time in my life, and that's all I could say about it. I mean, I I could say that I'm a full I could say that I've lived an accredited musician's artisanal musician's life, a musical artisan's life, where I have made I have made some money from my art in that sense.
SPEAKER_04:A lot of time on the road?
SPEAKER_08:No, no. A lot of our stuff was fucking late like 18, 19, like when we started the band, I was 17 years old. Me and uh me and uh the the other somebody else in the band, we were 17 years old, we had to get work permits so we can go play at these bars. Yeah, that's what I was thinking because Yeah, we had to actively go get work permits so we can go play at these bars.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, a lot because uh they they got a a lot of those in like in major cities and stuff like that, or even small places.
SPEAKER_08:You need all you need is a work permit. Just like if you want to go play out in the streets, you need some sort of a you first of all, you need to look into your city's laws. Some of some of them have like busker permits or something like that, where it's like a yearly or monthly thing. Right. You go in there, you get it, you renew it, and you find your spot where you're gonna set up. A lot of times it's like downtown area.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_08:Well, yeah, but I mean you're sitting outside and you're just having you're setting your case out there helping people throw mu money in there. I don't really tax. I've done that sort of stuff too. So I I've done believe me, I've done quite a bit of stuff, dude. And not I've I didn't practice a lot of that stuff here because this place is not as carefree and caring for real for everybody like Colorado. I mean, I mean those people in Colorado, they're there's not a there's a bad influence, but I mean there's a bad influence here, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's way worse. That bad influence here is way worse. It's like yeah, ultra fucking Uber level worse. You understand what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, no, definitely. I I uh I don't know, I think it's because depending on especially where you are there in Colorado, exactly, you know, because when I went, it was beautiful, dude. And most people they're just mighty.
SPEAKER_08:That's what I'm saying. Is it most people up there Yeah, they just they might be business, they're very well they're chill, very moral believe me, I've seen my fair share of amoral, I guess is that's what you call them. People that don't just have no morals, you know what I'm saying? That you know, in my growing up on Colorado than I did out here, but I didn't grow up out here. Do you know do you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01:Right.
SPEAKER_08:But the devil that I've seen here is way the way fucking more intense. The the the the mild devil that I've seen here is way more worse than the fucking than the worst devil I've seen in Colorado, bro. Like, holy shit. Yeah, you know. Yeah, dude, and and I was I was homeless here, bro. So you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And I've seen people be homeless in Colorado. I was damn near homeless myself a few times, not really homeless, but when you're in your teens and you're like not giving a fuck, and you you know you can go back to mom's, you know, you have your room at your mom's house, but it's like at that point, you're like 18 years old, not giving a fuck, and you're like getting drunk and just passing out, and next thing you know, like you've been over at the homie's house for the last three, four days, and your mom's calling you, like, hey dude, where the fuck you been? Come fucking show up at least or something.
SPEAKER_04:Right. Even the homie's mom's looking at you, hey bro.
SPEAKER_08:Exactly. That sort of shit. Yeah, yeah, no, but no, dude, even that devil that I just that I know out there is nothing. Nothing child's play, dude, compared to the devil that I've barely fucking got a glimpse of out here, bro. Like, what the fuck, dude?
SPEAKER_04:Uh Chicago's amazing.
SPEAKER_08:And it's like I said, I was homeless for like a good six months, bro. So I got a quite a good when I say a glimpse of, I'm sure, dude, that if I stuck around longer, dude, yeah, it would have been, you know, I would have been in the thick of it. You know, that's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_04:Right. No, yeah. I don't know why it's so intensified here. Maybe because the city's so old?
SPEAKER_08:No, dude, because it's so concentrated. True. By the by the bl by this by one city block, dude. And then every think about like think okay, so think about growing up in the sure the back of the yards, I think, or something like that. You said think about like how many people lived in in where you grew up in. That's just your house. Think about all the houses on that fucking just that one, just along that one street alone, and then think about that whole block, you know, the people across your alley and shit, dude. You understand what I'm saying? No, wait. That's a lot of fuck. That's like, dude, that's a at least a thousand people, dude. I would have to say, nah, maybe not a thousand people. But look, here's the thing. But dude, damn near, bro. Damn near, bro. Damn near a thousand people within the square block. That's just your one square block, dude. Then you're thinking, then you we're talking about the block across the street from you, and across the street on the other side, and across. Do you understand what I'm saying? And I was lucky enough to grow up with a where there was a major city fucking park on one big side of the street from us, you know what I'm saying? So right, but still that didn't stop like kids, dude. In the fucking late 80s, dude, fucking 89, bro. Fucking 87 run teenage mutant ninja turtles was just on the scene, bro, playing on the fucking cartoons and shit. My cousin's friend, me and my cousins running around playing kick the cans everywhere on fucking Pilson, dude. Fucking 70, 70 kids deep, dude. 70 kids deep, bro. You couldn't even remember all the kids. I can't even, dude.

SPEAKER_04:Yeah, no, no, for real, they will. For sure. I'm feeling it for sure, dude. I feel like the cans are a little bit too much for me, at least, because they're a lot, it's a lot for so for like little when this is like a decent glass, and it feels like I'm really drinking beer. But this is just my opinion, right? And it's kind of stronger.
SPEAKER_08:For me, it's that nitrogenation, bro.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it's cool, no. Don't get me wrong.
SPEAKER_08:No, I get it, it's cool, but for me, I taste the I taste the difference, dude. Oh, yeah, no, this to me, this shit tastes a little bit more flatter.
SPEAKER_04:It does need it. It really does. Yeah, definitely no doubt on that. It just feels like I don't know why I'm feeling when I'm drinking that, like the glass. Like I feel like I'm drinking more of a beer, but then again, I haven't been drinking goodness as much as you have, so I can I can drink one of those pints in fucking two gulps, but to the dump.
SPEAKER_08:But like I said, like wait till we have uh I think we're gonna have to have um we're gonna have to have an Irish carbom fucking uh episode, bro.

SPEAKER_04:How many DC movies are they making?
SPEAKER_08:Uh quite a bit now.
SPEAKER_04:Supergirl?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I know. Following that shitty ass Superman movie, they're making a Supergirl movie, which actually, I'm not gonna lie, looks way better than that Superman movie.
SPEAKER_07:Really?
SPEAKER_08:It looks like Barry Guardian of the Galaxy style. That sort of style, but also what was the other movie I was thinking of? There was another movie I was thinking of that was like kind of in that style. But yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Well, there's a couple good movies out there, I'll tell you that. Some of them are too long. Yeah, but uh some of them are fucking three hours long.
SPEAKER_08:I don't know, I don't know how I felt about this chick playing supergirl, but um she's uh growing on me. Is it she's she's definitely making it hard? The new chick? She's growing on me. She's definitely making it hard.
SPEAKER_04:I I haven't seen the new chick that plays the newest superwoman. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:Something alcohol.
SPEAKER_04:Let me see.
SPEAKER_08:Something alcohol.
SPEAKER_04:Something what?
SPEAKER_08:Christy Alcock, I think, or Misty or some shit like that. Yeah, I know. A-L-C-O-C-K. Believe me, it's not A L L. I I I'll give her I'll give her all. That's not really her name. A-L-C-O-K-O-C-K. Supergirl. Just put supergirl and it's Millie Alcock. Right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Let me see. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_08:And she's pretty, right? I mean, I don't know about those cheeks. I don't know. Then again, though, I've always been really picky about who's played Supergirl. And I've never liked anybody they played. Even the girl that they played the they picked to play Supergirl while they had Cavill as Superman. Because there was a Supergirl show for a while.
SPEAKER_06:There was?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, there was a Supergirl show for a while. When the they started the whole Justice League thing, because they were trying to make a whole fucking universe out of it, but they couldn't. And even her, I didn't think she I really didn't think she fit the bill either. And to this day, I really can't think of anybody that would fit that bill.
SPEAKER_04:Well, how long have they been making? Because you know there's a Batwoman.
SPEAKER_08:There's a Well, there's Batwoman that's been played like what three times now? Well, yeah, three times. Because what's your name played Batwoman? No, no, she played Catwoman. Oh, that's right. I was Halle Berry. No, you're right, you're right. There's um, no, that's Catwoman.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, she's Catwoman.
SPEAKER_08:What are you talking about? Batwoman.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, Batwoman. That one trick from Alicia Silverstone?
SPEAKER_08:The one with uh what uh Alicia Silverstone? Or you're talking about the one with Christopher Nolan. But no, she was she wasn't a Catwoman. She she wasn't Batwoman, she was Catwoman.
SPEAKER_04:She's she steals the guy's jewelry or something from a safe.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, that's uh that's uh that was Catwoman. Yeah, her. That wasn't Batwoman. Yeah, we're talking about what Batwoman though, right?
SPEAKER_04:There's one Batwoman, the girl from way back in the day.
SPEAKER_08:Alicia Silverstone.
SPEAKER_04:I guess she's like back when they were hitting people and they would go pow.
SPEAKER_08:Well, that one, there was that one too, but also when George Clooney.
SPEAKER_04:George Clooney George Clooney?
SPEAKER_08:When George Clooney was Batman, he had uh Robin. Oh no, was that no yeah yeah? I think actually Robin was a part of the second one that that other one and the other, but anyways, George Clooney, and then uh he was fighting Dr. Freeze, and I think um Batgirl was a part of that, and who and it was Alicia Silverstone that played Batgirl and Clueless, basically, the chick from Clueless Clueless.
SPEAKER_04:I feel like I've seen that movie, heard it before somewhere.
SPEAKER_08:I can't it's from my times, but I can't quote it because I can't remember anything anything from it right now. So well, you know how every rapper's talking about Stacy Dash? That's the chick from Caluless. Not not not the main chick, but she was like her best friend.
SPEAKER_04:Stacy Dash. Stacy Dash.
SPEAKER_08:Look it up, and then like recently she uh hit popularity because now she's like a CNN anchor. She was for a while because she was supporting uh she's black and she's uh supporting MAGA. She's a MAGA, she's a Trumper.
SPEAKER_06:Still is or yeah, yeah, still is still is was was is knows will be. You know, um here I don't think we discriminate.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, right. Also, another thing, Scrubs. Did you ever watch Scrubs?
SPEAKER_04:Like this, like I heard the song Scrubs, the show Scrubs? No, not the show. I heard the song before. Yeah, no, no. I mean, you know.
SPEAKER_08:But no, uh, there was a show still long before your time. I think it might have ended by like two or three years before you were born. I think it was like a 2001 movie, no? No, it was a show, it was a show.
SPEAKER_04:It was like a doctor show.
SPEAKER_08:It was a doctor's show.
SPEAKER_04:They brought it back like so many times.
SPEAKER_08:No, no, they they brought it back once. James Franco's brother, Dave Franco, was in the reboot of it. But now they were talking about bringing it back as a show, but I think they're just making a uh they're either making a show or a movie. They might be making a show of it again, I'm not sure. But they were talking about no, no, no, no, no. I'm getting that confused with community. Because you know the show Community with uh Childish Gambino.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_08:I never watch it, but well, I mean, I he might not be in the movie. I doubt he'll be in it. Well, he might actually he, I think that's why they've been postponing because they were talking about doing a show, but now they're talking about doing a quick movie, a Netflix movie. And Gambino had left the show like three, four years before the show ended, but they're saying that he might make do a comeback for the movie. So that's one of the reasons why the movie's been in postponement, and I think it might be now starting production. So and community, you ever hear about community with Gambina?
SPEAKER_04:Uh yeah, no, it's like him, some nerdy. It kind of reminds me of the Big Bang Theory a little, like the trend of copy. A little bit because of the character, the cast.
SPEAKER_08:Chevy Chase was in it for a little bit, but he's definitely not coming back.
SPEAKER_04:He yeah, and I think they had like a main teacher, the guy was like some skinny looking motherfucker.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, and they had uh the uh Joel McHale or Kevin McKay Joel McHale. It's a guy from Talk Soup, and I think he does animal control now. He was the main guy, he was like some business stock market dude that like ended up getting suspended from his job or something happened. They're like, oh, you gotta go. Oh no, no, no. He lied on his uh uh application about having his degree, and they found out after he was made them so much money because somebody threw him under the bus because he was making someone they were hating on him. So we're like, hey bro, you lied on your application, so we're gonna have to unless you go back into college and you know work on your degree, then we have to let you go. That's that was mainly the basis of the show, was that. But over time he was like, yeah, fuck fuck my job. And I just yeah. You said fuck that. It was a it was a decent, it was a decent show, I'll admit that. Yeah, no, I was really not into uh and believe me, I didn't watch the shit when it was on the air. I watched it like I think probably like five years ago or three years ago or something like that. You know what I'm saying? It's something that you binge watch something, you know. It it's it it's it's not one of those just like most shows aren't anymore, one of those tune in every week at this certain hour, at this certain day, every at this certain hour. It's like no scream. No, give me all fucking ten episodes right now, or I'll fuck you, you know what I'm saying? Imagine you have to wait for episodes though. Yeah, dude. Come back in the day. No, come back for the next day. You might not know that. Have you ever experienced that? Because I know that I lived that life, dude. I grew up in that life.
SPEAKER_04:We we yeah, you get we blew up uh what you call it, red box, blockbuster. You know?
SPEAKER_08:Okay, uh you have a little bit of taste of that life, but not really. Not like me. Me, dude. I was an 80s kid, bro. Having to wait for the next episode, and then fucking Nintendo didn't come didn't come out to like 85. I didn't have that bitch to like 95, they're like 96.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, first first you know the first uh uh the people gotta get it first and point. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, then they said that fucking Super Nintendo was already out by that point, bro.
SPEAKER_04:The kid came, the white kid came over, yo.
SPEAKER_08:I couldn't afford to get that. He said, This is what I'm talking about. Like Nintendo Super Nintendo has been out for like five years, dude, and it was still 300 bucks at that point.
SPEAKER_04:Some kids would come over and be like, yo, you still haven't flipped the game? Yeah, yeah. Like, damn, I just got my system.
SPEAKER_08:Actually, no, I I never had friends like that. So or never literally, I was like 14, 15. I had to work to get my own Nintendo, so I I fucking abused the shit out of that Nintendo. I played just every game I can get my hand on. Fucking Bible games, any little kids' games, learning kids, fucking Disney games, anything, bro. I I didn't care.
SPEAKER_04:You know, there's the uh people who collect those kind of kind of things, and it's good to have something that is.
SPEAKER_08:Actually, NES is making a comeback. Who? NES. NES? NES. Who the hell is that? Nintendo Entertainment System.
SPEAKER_04:Well yeah, they got the Switch.
SPEAKER_08:No, no, no. They're NES. The original cartridge, big ass cartridge, Nintendo cartridge. I kinda wanna make it. Motherfucker, they're making they're making new games for the NES. Specifically for the NES. Like Zelda shit or what? Like 8-bit, 8-bit move 8-bit games. New 8-bit games. Like if as if this was back in those days, and and nothing else ever came up, they're making new and they're improving on that, like making them more like improved NES games.
SPEAKER_07:That would be wrong.
SPEAKER_08:Do you understand what I'm saying? Like new games, dude, like not Mario games, Super Mario games, just new concepts of games, dude. Do you understand what I'm saying? And they're starting, they're gonna I think starting this Christmas, they started marketing in them and selling them with actual original NES systems.
SPEAKER_01:That's crazy.
SPEAKER_08:So in total, you're looking at
SPEAKER_04:About 250 for a damn handheld console?
SPEAKER_08:250? 100? Might be wrong. Could be 150.
SPEAKER_04:100?
SPEAKER_08:150? For the cartridge itself, if you already have an NES, you're looking at$60. Just for the cartridge.
SPEAKER_04:How much is the actual handheld thing?
SPEAKER_08:The actual no no, it's it's a chip? No, dude, it's the cartridge for an NES. So like imagine a Nintendo NES cartridge for like an old style Nintendo system.
SPEAKER_04:Oh the whole thing.
SPEAKER_08:But it's a brand new game that just got made recently.
SPEAKER_09:For the Nintendo 64.
SPEAKER_08:The old ass Nintendo, my my guy. The old ass brick style, gray style, and Super Mario Duck Hunt. That's the gray with the purple switch. Yeah, I don't know about it. I never seen nothing purple on the Nintendo though.
SPEAKER_04:It was no no, but it was gray, and then then like the the the buttons were like like blue or that's Super Nintendo, bro.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, yeah. That's Super Nintendo. I'm talking about the old original Nintendo, dude.
SPEAKER_04:You look like a brick.
SPEAKER_08:No, this yeah, this not not the supernint not Super Mario World. I'm talking about Super Mario Brothers. The original first Super Mario Brothers, that console. They're making new games for that console.
SPEAKER_04:Who has that console? I'm pretty sure a lot of people do.
SPEAKER_08:And that's why they're selling they're selling the console with the games now.
SPEAKER_04:The console and the game.
SPEAKER_08:That's why I'm saying I'm telling you, they're like 150, 140.
SPEAKER_04:150,000?
SPEAKER_08:For the console and the game. 150,000? 150 dollars or 150.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, 150 dollars?
SPEAKER_09:Yeah. Really?
SPEAKER_08:Yeah.
SPEAKER_09:That's a steal.
SPEAKER_08:Well, I mean back in those days, Nintendo was like, I think, a hundred bucks.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, but back in those days it was probably like what, like five dollars an hour?
SPEAKER_08:Eighty bucks. It was like um what like 90 bucks for Nintendo back in those days in 85? Nine dollars an hour? Maybe a hundred.
unknown:Damn.
SPEAKER_08:It could have been 150, so yeah, about the same price.
SPEAKER_04:That's not bad.
SPEAKER_08:But cheaper if you have if you still have your old system.
SPEAKER_04:True that.
SPEAKER_08:But who knows? Maybe the newer system might work a lot better than older systems. You don't have to be blown on your cartridge and all that bush. You just I think it's just cool to have a piece of like history. Believe me, I know. You know? I wish I'd have held on to my old Nintendo.
SPEAKER_04:And it's um I know what you mean. Sometimes you gotta I need the money. No.
SPEAKER_08:Sometimes your fucking ex-wife has fucking girlfriend whose kid doesn't have shit because her m his mom's a bitch, and he has nobody but his fucking girlfriend's ex-fucking husband to give him something to fucking play. That's what that is. You stand what I'm saying? That's gone forever. You stand what I'm saying? That's how much the love of a man for his wife goes. That's how much, that's how deep the uh the love of a man for his for his cheating ass trapping wife runs.
SPEAKER_04:Hey man, that's crazy to lose a Nintendo.
SPEAKER_08:I know, I know, right? Fuck fuck the other shit, huh? That shit, that shit's like whatever, bro. That Nintendo, that was. Fuck the bitch. Damn, bro. That's a real piece of name. The Nintendo was the real love. Yeah, bro. That's damn, dude. You lost your wife and your kids, but damn that Nintendo dog, man. That's crazy, fool.
SPEAKER_03:You know, that's the you know, I know some motherfuckers help they can relate.
SPEAKER_04:Yo, man, he lost the kids, he lost the wife.
SPEAKER_03:But that Nintendo food, that's what Nintendo food. Hell man, what a bitch.
SPEAKER_08:She was a bitch for taking the kids and cheating on them. She's a bitch for taking the Nintendo. Uh bro, that's a piece of history, man.
SPEAKER_04:That's like because that's like stealing the artifact, you know?
SPEAKER_01:That's man.
SPEAKER_04:It's funny. You're funny. Yeah, it happens though. Yeah, such is like no, but you can still find some out there.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, but it's not the same as having it's not the same because a lot of times these will be knockoffs, but then again, there's from my understanding, there's quite a bit of knockoffs. But if you don't have that regular brick style fucking, you know, gray and uh dark gray, white and dark gray Nintendo, then you get about it.
SPEAKER_04:That's why, since they're selling them and they're selling them straight from the source, might as well get it from them, you know?
SPEAKER_08:No, I think these are aftermarket. Oh. But they look true true to the original.
SPEAKER_04:You think everything's aftermarket nowadays?
SPEAKER_08:Of course it is. Come on. Well, I mean, I don't know, because Nintendo's still around, right? And honestly, they they they're known for reusing a lot of their parts in even to this day. So who knows? Who knows?
SPEAKER_04:Nintendo's still around, but they're I think they're I don't know, right?
SPEAKER_08:They're they're for like the last 30 years, 30 dec three decades, they've been marketing to little kids, dude. They don't market to nobody else. Yeah, you can get those like adult themed fucking games, like those R-rated games through them too, but they're really just more marketing towards little kids, though.
SPEAKER_04:It's because of the whole Fortnite and all that. Exactly. Right. No, I get that. I get that.
SPEAKER_08:But what I'm uh what I'm asking is where the fuck is the duck hunt fucking gun at? You know what I'm saying? Why did they lose that?
SPEAKER_04:That was a good one.
SPEAKER_08:Dude, and any all of my favorite shooter games, I hate shooters, but if you incorporate a gun, believe I'm there, bro. Believe I'm there doing target fucking accurate shot, uh, you know, doing accurate accuracy fucking test scores with you, bro. Like, let's see, let's see who's get the hits the most accurate.
SPEAKER_04:You know, that's crazy, dude. To think that's that back in the day, that was the shit. What duck hunt? And and but like looking back. Back to that day, to this day, bro.
SPEAKER_08:Still the shit. But I'm saying, like, but like, because where's that technology now? Where's that technology now? And honestly, I think the duck hunt gun had it the best out of anybody else. I mean, I've seen I've seen video games like what is that, the the the Hunter game?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, that one they got.
SPEAKER_08:Where they put out their own guns and all that stuff. Even Time Crisis had their own, they put out their own hardware for their own their own their own game. Right? They put out their own guns, their own controllers and foot pedals and all that shit. Yeah, I remember uh right, and even like I said, the the Hunter games too, they'll have that where you have to buy the shotguns and all that shit. Kind of like a like rock band where you have to buy the guitar and the fucking drums and all that bullshit.
SPEAKER_04:On top of the hundred dollar C.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, I never liked that. I never liked that shit either, but believe me. That first time I played rock fan, dude. I played it with my sister and my cousin, rest in peace. Oh my god, dude. Dude, you felt like a rock star. Oh my god, all three of us, dude. We stayed out for like a day and a half, dude, just playing that bitch, just fucking drinking, just feeling like rock stars, bro, just rocking out, dude.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, dude, that was a good game. I remember uh Guitar Hero. Yeah. Guitar Hero. I don't know, that was probably like No, it's the same thing. Yeah, right.
SPEAKER_08:It's just they just incorporated the shit with it.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, Guitar Hero was the shit too back in the day. Cause I remember when the first, like for sure, when the first Xbox came out. That big ass, square ass. And uh there was a game called Black. That was a good game. Which one? Black? Yeah, black. It was like a like a soldier, you were like a soldier.
SPEAKER_08:Yeah, I heard of it. I never played it. I did play the one of the uh flagship It was an aliens game, the movie Aliens. Oh, okay. But it was an aliens sponsored game, like where you were walking around the ship looking for aliens and shit, the actual aliens from the movie and all that shit. It was one of those games. Oh, okay. I forget what it was called, but it was uh aliens game. It was aliens for sure, but it was like aliens versus predators. Nah, it wasn't versus predators because it was before that. It was like 2003, 2002, when Xbox first came out. Because my cousin showed up, my uncle showed up. He was like, I was living with them here, and he was like, Oh, I just was somebody from the company get just gave me a present. Gave me an Xbox. I was like, What? Yeah, I was wondering if you know about it. Like, no. But I heard about it, he's like, Yeah, it was like a video game. She was like, Yeah, like well, I was wondering if you want to check it out. Like, fuck yeah, dude. He had that and Jet Set or Jet Set Radio or some shit like that it was called. All I remember, and they're bringing it back because I've been looking for this game for a long time. Like, dude, that's a good that was a badass game, but like, dude, this game was like way ahead of its time for any of the shit that came out around that time. Where like it's an open world, and it's a neon, like you're in Japan. It almost even felt like you were in Japan somewhere. It's like very crowded, there's a whole bunch of high-rises, every level has its own thing, but it's also like like you're on uh rollerblades and there's like tracks everywhere, but like you can also spray paint shit. Oh that dude, it was it was a badass game. It was it was very colorful. No, it was Jet Set Radio, it's called Jet Set Radio, dude. Oh, okay. And dude, I'm telling you, this game was very colorful, very it was like it was like Tony Hawk. Oh, but with spray painting, but with yeah, spray painting, and it was more character, it was more cartoon looking. Then Tony Tony Hawk was kind of trying to look realistic, but but Jetsite radio looked very cartoon-looking, and like every different character looked just completely way different. They own they had their own specialties, right? But you can like like you could grind like throughout the whole town, like you know what I'm saying? Like if you caught a rail, you could ride that rail and jump off into another rail and just ride around the whole city like that, dude.
