Speaker 1: Welcome to the Snottick. You're about to teach your names
Speaker 1: glazed by the great Chris Ray, Derek black Man, and
Speaker 1: Tom Sway. Sit back and prepare for some ship. Sit
Speaker 1: back and prepare for some glazing. Either you're not, he's
Speaker 1: not doing the audio. Now, fun out.
Speaker 2: I mean, audio probably isn't really that hard to do anymore.
Speaker 2: It's it's just simply sinking them.
Speaker 3: It's the act of tea. It's tedious, you know.
Speaker 1: That's why I have Derek do it audio and edit.
Speaker 1: Audio editing in general sucks. Hmm. I think video editing is.
Speaker 1: It's actually kind of cool. I think audio sucks. Audio.
Speaker 1: Audio is easier, I mean it is easier still, more tea.
Speaker 1: It's not as cool though.
Speaker 3: No, there's less you can do obviously.
Speaker 1: You can just change the pitch or something.
Speaker 4: It was a lot of fun though, because like when
Speaker 4: I was when I started editing the show, I used
Speaker 4: to like really fuck with our conversations like a lot.
Speaker 4: Like if whenever, if there was a point that we
Speaker 4: were when before we had cameras, if there was a
Speaker 4: point where we were recording and maybe we talked over
Speaker 4: one another, I would simply like I would make it
Speaker 4: so like, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna have mine go first,
Speaker 4: then have Kingston's after, and then Derek's last, so that
Speaker 4: way we're not talking over each other. But it's a
Speaker 4: complete misrepresentation of what the what the conversation was? Oh really,
Speaker 4: because that's just not how it happened. You're sequencing it.
Speaker 4: You're resequencing. Yeah, yeah, so you're not on top of
Speaker 4: each other exactly.
Speaker 3: Okay, which was fun to do, but it was also
Speaker 3: tedious and no one noticed or cared.
Speaker 1: It's gonna take forever, but you have a clean No
Speaker 1: one cares about this podcasts it is. They want.
Speaker 2: They want raw footage, and doing all those bells and
Speaker 2: whistles is just making you age yourself for more shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was complete waste of my time.
Speaker 1: Other people stream now people each mean, like, no, direspect
Speaker 1: the streamers. I know. It's tough to like get on
Speaker 1: there and do that every day. It's not Why would
Speaker 1: you not disrespect streamers? It's crazy. I don't. It takes
Speaker 1: a certain we disrespect everybody. That's true. I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 2: It's not the easiest thing to go on and stream
Speaker 2: because you have to do it consistently to be able
Speaker 2: to be a streamer.
Speaker 1: But like you're not doing anything. It's like coal mining.
Speaker 1: I mean it's anciently watched videos with coal binders them
Speaker 1: and the caves were falling down on them. It was crazy.
Speaker 1: Imagine them by two by fours. Would it's.
Speaker 4: What are you talking about? I've never seen cold of course,
Speaker 4: I haven't seen coal mining.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about. I've never seen so many
Speaker 1: mining videos exactly. It is just in passing. You never
Speaker 1: seen coal mining. In gender room, they're on there like
Speaker 1: their knees getting through small holes. But I used to
Speaker 1: use kids. Well you're kidding, hyper they used You didn't
Speaker 1: know they used the children for coal mining.
Speaker 3: I don't understand. I thought kids couldn't work.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of a lot of law.
Speaker 2: I actually think that's true. Actually, you know the child
Speaker 2: labor laws. I think they got cut like thirteen.
Speaker 3: Actually, not kidding, Well, you know, kids got to keep busy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, especially like with all that TikTok. You know,
Speaker 4: maybe it's maybe time in the minds wouldn't be so bad.
Speaker 1: They come out and their lungs are black, their lugs
Speaker 1: are white men. White men come out of coal mines
Speaker 1: looking like fuckings.
Speaker 4: Start tak podcast. Start tak podcast. It's me Chris, it's
Speaker 4: him Kingson and Derek's not here. Derek's God, we're doing
Speaker 4: a special episode. Yeah, he's Derek going to say you're Derek.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I mean I used to uh pop in
Speaker 1: a hand now and then exactly in your shows in
Speaker 1: those early days. That's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you used to be in a lot of them. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: we did. I know for a fact you were in.
Speaker 4: Do you remember when I got that weird snack box
Speaker 4: from Japan?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know those terrible snacks. Were they bad
Speaker 1: or good?
Speaker 4: I feel like I remember them being really not good.
Speaker 4: That was in our Glendale apartment. That was when we
Speaker 4: all lived together.
Speaker 1: That's exciting, That's that's a good time. Remember when the
Speaker 1: window got shot out?
Speaker 3: I was gone for both times?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he wasn't there.
Speaker 4: I was just I wasn't there both times, which is
Speaker 4: mega suspicious. I still don't know if I've been lied to.
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, because it was mega weird that it happened
Speaker 1: both times. When I just happened to believe those cats
Speaker 1: were doing what they were doing behind it would it
Speaker 1: would sound like right outside my window. Sound like the
Speaker 1: sharks out there. But it was this cats. Fuck it, dude,
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. They were abusing each other. They
Speaker 1: were the most strength they were. It was brutal cat fox.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like there was like a cat breeding ground outside
Speaker 4: of our building, right in the alleyway right. I swear
Speaker 4: to god, I could have if I fell out of
Speaker 4: my window, I would have landed on them.
Speaker 1: You guys are making it sound pleasant. It was brutal, No,
Speaker 1: it was. It was. Cats are very vocal, you know,
Speaker 1: like they have a lot of range, that Whitney Houston type.
Speaker 1: It's impressive, dude, at least fucking nine adell type. Shit.
Speaker 1: It's saying that sounds those poor things make.
Speaker 4: It was such an unreasonable time like that, that apartment
Speaker 4: was hot.
Speaker 1: How was our window getting shot out considering that that
Speaker 1: person would have to go through those cats we had.
Speaker 4: What confuses me is that we had a third floor
Speaker 4: technically fourth floor apartment because it was the lobby I think,
Speaker 4: which was no apartments. I think it was just like
Speaker 4: that weird, awkward like hallway, the garage and the mail
Speaker 4: room place.
Speaker 1: I'm looking. I remember to lay out of that place.
Speaker 1: It was so peculiar.
Speaker 4: I went back there a couple like a year or
Speaker 4: two ago to film because I used I used that
Speaker 4: building for the outside facade for where I live, wherever
Speaker 4: I live now, because like I don't need I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna show my current place, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: But it's a good looking building for like an establishing
Speaker 4: shot of like a show. But that first floor is
Speaker 4: fucking crazy because it's it is just a narrow hallway
Speaker 4: and then an elevator, mailboxes, and then nothing.
Speaker 1: Well you forgot the vending machine, that's right, there was
Speaker 1: a Remember we got the soaps and stuff right? Well, no,
Speaker 1: we got the orange the square in Canada, Colers I remember,
Speaker 1: like a cactus cooler when you're broke. God, those were times.
Speaker 2: No washing machine. We had to wash that Joe and
Speaker 2: fucking Whiskey's place.
Speaker 1: Did we do that? Yeah? We did. We had no
Speaker 1: washing machine. We were wait did we really not have
Speaker 1: washing main? We were in a bad way. There was
Speaker 1: no washing machine. How did we do our laundry when
Speaker 1: we have many clothes? I don't know much clothing I
Speaker 1: could have sworn. We had like some and we walked
Speaker 1: to Joe to do our laundry and it was granted
Speaker 1: it was maybe a two minute walk. I would have
Speaker 1: that seems too sure. We didn't have like a laundry
Speaker 1: We didn't go to a laundry mat.
Speaker 3: No, we didn't, right, So no, I think you guys
Speaker 3: are right.
Speaker 2: God speaking a laundry mat, remember Andrew and then that girl?
Speaker 1: What do you mean I peel on your bad? Oh
Speaker 1: my god. I wasn't gonna talk about that. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to go into that memory. That day was so hilarious,
Speaker 1: so that that was just an insane day. That was
Speaker 1: the day after she tried to uh force herself on Joe. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: these are the these are the memories. Is we have this?
Speaker 3: That was only twelve months too? Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1: It really was twelve month I don't even think it
Speaker 1: was twelve I'm being honest. It was a year. I
Speaker 1: think it was a year. I think it felt like
Speaker 1: three years. It might have been. I felt like a
Speaker 1: lot of struggle. We had so many people in our
Speaker 1: apartment at different times. That house was Yeah, we had
Speaker 1: a homeless guy living with us for a little bit, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we justin in there. The Yeah, we did have just
Speaker 1: we had that justin.
Speaker 3: We had our friend Francis live in there.
Speaker 1: Barb huh, Barb Barbara, Oh yeah, Barb lived there for
Speaker 1: a while.
Speaker 3: That was a crazy and that was not a big space.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm thinking that had to be years because
Speaker 1: they like everybody was there for so long.
Speaker 3: They were there for like maybe like a couple of
Speaker 3: months each.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, maybe a maximum. That house was.
Speaker 2: The beginning of what the absurdity of living out here
Speaker 2: as an adult would become. Yeah, things have toned down
Speaker 2: a lot for all of us were kind of in
Speaker 2: stable places real It's like we're all in a stable place. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But like it was just such an insane series of
Speaker 2: situations that living in Glendale was.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean I think all of la in
Speaker 1: those early times didn't even feel real, Like it was
Speaker 1: all like very much so a sitcom. Plus we had
Speaker 1: people in and out like a sitcom. Like there was
Speaker 1: always something happening. Yeah, I think people were always doing something.
Speaker 4: It didn't feel like a real place at all, and
Speaker 4: there was always some weird thing going on. Like I
Speaker 4: remember that mattress that had like remember that mattress that
Speaker 4: was outside of our building for for like months, that
Speaker 4: just had bugs written at pen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not even like mark, not even like marker or
Speaker 3: like paint or anything.
Speaker 4: It was like pen like someone went over it a
Speaker 4: bunch of times to make sure it was Thinking of
Speaker 4: insane mattress ourselves too.
Speaker 1: Remember in the middle of how you put out a mattress,
Speaker 1: It was like at maybe one am. Oh, because remember that.
Speaker 3: We all because we didn't know how to legally get
Speaker 3: rid of it, right, so we just.
Speaker 1: All went out in the middle of Now you put
Speaker 1: a mattress on away from our block, not even on
Speaker 1: our blocker, And then we ran back home in the
Speaker 1: middle of a drop dead sprint, and we walked it.
Speaker 4: We walked it down the street so that it wouldn't
Speaker 4: be connected to us.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you were absolutely just cooligant children living on
Speaker 1: our own. Yeah. I got all of my furniture from
Speaker 1: off the street and from other people. I had two
Speaker 1: couches in my bedroom at one point, and I bet
Speaker 1: I remember that, And it wasn't a big bedroom at all.
Speaker 1: It was, in fact, was the small area you had
Speaker 1: to be on one of those items of furniture in
Speaker 1: that room. I think I remember that you had to
Speaker 1: get in on one of those right, You just get
Speaker 1: in and get on the thing.
Speaker 4: The one thing I remember specifically was that my room
Speaker 4: was ten degrees hotter than everybody else's room.
Speaker 1: Because the layout of apartment was like the whatever was
Speaker 1: supposed to be a patio, that gray sludgish area, and
Speaker 1: then it was the kitchen over here, and the AC
Speaker 1: was on the window. The ac hit everything. It was
Speaker 1: just passing your room located.
Speaker 4: The ac hit everything and hit the bathroom, It hit
Speaker 4: your room, it hit the living room, hit the kitchen,
Speaker 4: skipped me entirely. Yeah, I went to bed with like
Speaker 4: an oscillating fan under my under my sheets for like months.
Speaker 1: You made a fort that had an oscillating fan.
Speaker 3: I just couldn't get cold enough.
Speaker 4: And that was back when it was actually hot in
Speaker 4: l A all the time, all the time.
Speaker 1: It's not like now where weather's changed so much here too.
Speaker 1: That's crazy to think about. The weather's like the weather's
Speaker 1: toned down because it gets really hot for like a
Speaker 1: day or two, but then it calms down. But when
Speaker 1: you first got here, like summer was like hell. It was,
Speaker 1: it was actually hell. I was like terrible. It was
Speaker 1: like one hundred Remember the one hundred and sixteen week
Speaker 1: as a mailman, and it was just brutal.
Speaker 3: That's right, you're a male man.
Speaker 1: Was tortured because before I moved out here, when you
Speaker 1: guys skip out here you were a mailman, nobody would
Speaker 1: call me because you'd be fucking near hysteria. It was
Speaker 1: honestly like that. That job was driving me crazy. I
Speaker 1: just got to do this. I'm exhausted and I still
Speaker 1: was broke, and I was there seven days a week.
Speaker 1: Due you work, you worked on weekends sometimes. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: so razy. Amazon to deliver packages on Sundays, Are you serious? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that way we could work seven days a week.
Speaker 3: That is next level stuff.
Speaker 1: Man. Fun. Yeah, it's grating for somebody.
Speaker 3: It really is for somebody.
Speaker 1: It's fun for everybody but us everybody else, you know.
Speaker 4: I was looking at that video of when was it
Speaker 4: Tom Sweeney Hates Hates the Gays? The first one that
Speaker 4: we and it was like it started with like a
Speaker 4: tour of the apartment, and I'm glad I have that
Speaker 4: video still because I would have forgotten a lot of details.
Speaker 3: But we had like we had a pot of water
Speaker 3: in the fridge. I swear to God, if you like,
Speaker 3: if you want that video, again.
Speaker 4: It's just there's just a pot of water free standing open.
Speaker 1: There's second not a litter or anything. And I think
Speaker 1: it's because, like we didn't have a filter on our sink.
Speaker 1: Oh my, it would boil clean water. I either we
Speaker 1: did that. That was Are we in fucking Puerto Rico
Speaker 1: in the mountains? What the fuck is going on? You know?
Speaker 1: I swear that water was making us sick. Though it
Speaker 1: was making me sick high time I drank the water,
Speaker 1: I just I felt gross, right, And that's why we
Speaker 1: drank red Bull. Remember when we were just drinking red Bull? Yeah,
Speaker 1: my heart can't take it anymore.
Speaker 3: We were we were addicted to the red Bull for
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember. I remember you went to San fran
Speaker 1: I went to Sacramento with a sacrament for a date
Speaker 1: because I was dating it farther up, yeah, a little
Speaker 1: further because I went on a date with a uh
Speaker 1: a Red Bull ambassador. Oh wow. We had a date
Speaker 1: in a in a castle and I had sword fish
Speaker 1: for the first time. It wasn't good, it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like it. But I came back with a case of
Speaker 1: red Bull. Never saw her again, but I got a
Speaker 1: case of red Bull. Big case, so brought it back.
Speaker 1: We all had red Bull forever, and uh, if you're thirsty,
Speaker 1: drink red bull. It was bad. We were drinking red
Speaker 1: Bull as you were thirsty. It was cheaper than water
Speaker 1: because we had it for free.
Speaker 4: We could either buy a rena filter and then constantly
Speaker 4: change it, or get a case of water, which costs
Speaker 4: some money, or just drink the red Bull that we had, which.
Speaker 1: I didn't have some money to buy us. I was like,
Speaker 1: well this, I had to filter out the water from
Speaker 1: the red Bull. If I wanted to straight water, I'd
Speaker 1: have to simmer it out and put it in a fridge.
Speaker 1: That water. Absolutely, dude, it's looking that.
Speaker 4: I wish the photo of that fridge or what was
Speaker 4: inside of that fridge in that video was a box.
Speaker 1: Of baking soda. It was water. Let me look it
Speaker 1: up that let me find it mony. You really don't
Speaker 1: want to visit that bridge. It's gonna look like sadness.
Speaker 3: No, man, it looks uh look.
Speaker 2: Back at that because I've lived I've quite a few
Speaker 2: places now, I've lived like there. The second place there
Speaker 2: was the one that met Cristo that afterwards, and then
Speaker 2: after that it was with.
Speaker 1: Me and Joe. Yeah, then me a mean and justin
Speaker 1: me I mean, and dre and now with Lily. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I've lived quite a few places now it's like, fuck,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's real. I remember that pot. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, the fucking mostly empty containered eggs, crazy eggs left.
Speaker 4: It tells to mething it's on this channel. It's like,
Speaker 4: what is it? A minute and fourteen seconds in? But like, man,
Speaker 4: that oh there it is. There's the big there's the
Speaker 4: bigger one.
Speaker 1: Look at that fridge, dude, one beer.
Speaker 3: Just it's so there's one pot with a lid on it.
Speaker 1: No clue what that could be if I if I
Speaker 1: was Arizona lines.
Speaker 5: Free scurvy away now and then one loose bear, dude,
Speaker 5: or actually and an empty container of eggs with actually
Speaker 5: I think no eggs in it.
Speaker 1: Screenshot that because I don't think anybody in my life
Speaker 1: actually believes that, Like we actually were down bad like that.
Speaker 2: It was always It's really crazy to think about, Like
Speaker 2: that is my worst fear again, being that poor, Really, Chris,
Speaker 2: I don't think you remember how poor I was, Chris,
Speaker 2: because I couldn't pay rent for so long.
Speaker 1: I was so poor. I do remember that I was
Speaker 1: so poor it was insane. I think about that. I'm like,
Speaker 1: if I get that poor again, I'm gonna have to die. Quits.
Speaker 1: Like even if Lily is makes really good money, but
Speaker 1: if I was that poor again, I'd be like, Lily,
Speaker 1: I can't be around you like this. I'm no good
Speaker 1: to you. I gotta die. I write a letter to
Speaker 1: be like, hey girl, I'm too poor to be alive.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Hopefully i'd see you in the next life,
Speaker 1: and I would kill myself under the bed. It's got
Speaker 1: to be on a great callmark card though, like a
Speaker 1: beautiful part. It's like she thinks I'm just like saying
Speaker 1: I love you or something, and it's my suicide, not.
Speaker 3: Under the porch or something like a dog ps.
Speaker 1: I stole this card and they know where to find you.
Speaker 1: So you gotta put this on your credit card because
Speaker 1: I'm I can't afford it. You stole it with her
Speaker 1: credit card, her credit card, which I stole from you
Speaker 1: for I put it back in your bag, though I
Speaker 1: put I put it back in your bag, back in
Speaker 1: your bag off. Sorry, It's just an or borrows and thievery.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is just it's just why poor people
Speaker 1: stay poor, and it's like, hey man, bye, I love you,
Speaker 1: I love you. Sorry. The most upsetting part of that
Speaker 1: to me was like I was still working all the time,
Speaker 1: and yeah there was like no, I was hitting like
Speaker 1: thirty eight hours a week and I was just with
Speaker 1: with the minute because I have I think how many
Speaker 1: bills I have now, and like, I don't know. If
Speaker 1: I had the amount of bills I have now making
Speaker 1: what I was making, then I'd be like, oh, I
Speaker 1: have to have to be paying my bills. It was
Speaker 1: like it was it was either survive or pay bills.
Speaker 1: So it's like I think, I just I'm gonna survive.
Speaker 1: I paid the bill when they turned my shit off,
Speaker 1: right exactly, and when when it gets real bad, they'll
Speaker 1: turn it off and then I I won't have a mill.
Speaker 1: I won't have it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did that just to see what it was like.
Speaker 1: Student loans, come.
Speaker 2: On, I'm so blessed I have no student loans. I
Speaker 2: really think about how lucky I am.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all I'm done with. I don't have any
Speaker 1: paid off all yours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I paid off all mine much so, No, I
Speaker 4: didn't have like a crazy one for two years, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I only went for two years. It was it was
Speaker 4: enough to be like that sucks, yeah, but like it wasn't.
Speaker 4: It was definitely doable.
Speaker 1: You know. It was less than ten right, I'm yessing,
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't even remember how much it was because it's
Speaker 3: gone now.
Speaker 1: You know how amazing.
Speaker 2: I had literally none. I had no student loans at all.
Speaker 2: My grandma paid for me beginning my first one, and
Speaker 2: then by the time I started the second one, I
Speaker 2: got like I got faster for the help. But the
Speaker 2: suits started making like not even good money, like just
Speaker 2: money and all. They're like, we can't have that anymore.
Speaker 1: Were you going to school when you first got out here?
Speaker 1: Were you just at Starbucks?
Speaker 2: I was at such when I first got out here,
Speaker 2: and then when we moved the olive like halfway through,
Speaker 2: I started going to school again.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, because I.
Speaker 2: Was trying to go to school forever, because I remember
Speaker 2: I didn't have my papers to go to school because
Speaker 2: you were going to start school again too for a while,
Speaker 2: and I didn't have some sort of certification. But I
Speaker 2: was like, I've been living here for like seven months.
Speaker 2: They're like, I'm sorry, we can't prove you live here. Oh,
Speaker 2: so I had to wait until I had at least
Speaker 2: a year of me living here to go to school again.
Speaker 2: So I went to school then and I finished when
Speaker 2: like a little bit into living in a place with Joe,
Speaker 2: I finished my second degree.
Speaker 1: Really good movie.
Speaker 3: Oh oh okay, okay, I remember second degree.
Speaker 1: I have an associates degree in biology, and I have
Speaker 1: a social degree in it, like I don't know liberal arts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so anybody else is trying to get a degree, just
Speaker 1: just get it. It's clearly very easy. It's really not
Speaker 1: that hard. It's just a lot of time. That's it.
Speaker 1: This is unnecessary time.
Speaker 3: It's a time sink.
Speaker 1: It's a receipt.
Speaker 2: Is this a receipt that lets me know that you're
Speaker 2: willing to suffer and go poor? Yeah, to not really
Speaker 2: gain knowledge, to look at a book for a while.
Speaker 4: Dude, I remember, I just remember that time being so
Speaker 4: strange because I just I remember that was the apartment
Speaker 4: I had alcohol boys in again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, you were so bad, it was crazy. And
Speaker 1: that was when you I came like an angel descending
Speaker 1: upon you. A bowl of water. Bowl of water, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it was the biggest container we had was a
Speaker 1: bowl that wasn't a pan that was being used, clearly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that had fresh water. We gaking you fresh water, and
Speaker 1: we gave you sink water. Sink quarter mixed with red
Speaker 1: went in there, and I was like, all right. You
Speaker 1: were like, he's right, and I closed the door. Man,
Speaker 1: I didn't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't think you were that because you were drinking
Speaker 2: with us the whole time, and you just said you
Speaker 2: were drinking that much. But then at a certain point
Speaker 2: you started just looking like unwell, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I was like, he's, bro, it's.
Speaker 1: Not a big deal. Was before after I was dating Lily,
Speaker 1: I think it was before. It was probably a little
Speaker 1: bit before, yeah, And I was like, he's all right, dude.
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, I never had an alcoholic problem,
Speaker 4: but I don't back then, especially like I didn't want to,
Speaker 4: Like if I was going, I was like, well I
Speaker 4: might as well continue, you know what I mean, if
Speaker 4: I was drinking at all, right, I think I viewed
Speaker 4: it like I'm already poisoning myself. So if I poisoned
Speaker 4: myself for no gain, what the fuck is the point?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna keep doing it until I'm drunk, because
Speaker 3: that's the point.
Speaker 1: That's the point, right, I was well patned.
Speaker 2: I would drink when I other fish go, I would
Speaker 2: just down beers like a fucking animal.
Speaker 1: I would down beers and fail at talking to girls.
Speaker 1: That was my fucking mo'. Is that what you were? Oh?
Speaker 1: My fucking guys. Why I left fish Skill? Oh no,
Speaker 1: I left fish School because I was a jackass. I
Speaker 1: want independence, and then I came here was just destitute
Speaker 1: for a while. I had no plan at all for
Speaker 1: a while. Listen, that's you gotta do anything you get
Speaker 1: out of Fishkill. Yeah. Yeah, Well, to be fair, I
Speaker 1: didn't really have much of a plan either. I mean,
Speaker 1: it just is life.
Speaker 3: Because you came to me what like two weeks before
Speaker 3: you left, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Three weeks and it was it was amazing because I
Speaker 1: called them I'll never forget and on the phone, I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm moving across the tree in like three weeks. I
Speaker 1: need somebody to drive with me. Are you down? And
Speaker 1: he was like uh uh okay, he like he took
Speaker 1: two three seconds and was like, yeah, this is this
Speaker 1: sounds good. Three weeks, pack up everything we had, get
Speaker 1: into a way too old car and drive a classic
Speaker 1: What was what was that car that you drove. It
Speaker 1: was a two thousand and five Honda Cord Do you.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you something in my memory that is
Speaker 3: a nineteen eighty nine four Tours.
Speaker 1: Or something like that car was sold? Lad it literally
Speaker 1: the way, wasn't it like tilted kind of to the side.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised because the way it finally started
Speaker 1: to go was like I'm at a light and I
Speaker 1: light turns green. I pressed the gas and the uh,
Speaker 1: front axle snaps, like what let you turn? The wheel
Speaker 1: just snaps? Right? So uh if that happened on the
Speaker 1: highway or something when into car that we pushed back home, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: we pushed. We pushed it into like some somewhere, I
Speaker 1: don't know where we pushed it and then Jiffy Uber
Speaker 1: or something like that. And then I used like my
Speaker 1: last five hundred dollars to buy a moped, and so
Speaker 1: I had a moped. That's right. Yeah, I totally forgot
Speaker 1: that this is living at Hilda, right, Yeah, this must
Speaker 1: have been at Hilda. That is so hilarious. I forgot
Speaker 1: that you had a moped. I had a moped for
Speaker 1: that star the scar from the moped. No, maybe, I
Speaker 1: don't know. My scars are from at this point, just
Speaker 1: like there are things that happened, and I remember that
Speaker 1: day like it was yesterday when you crashed it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was I got called an uber. I left the
Speaker 1: thing there and it's like I'm going home. I remember
Speaker 1: that Nave called.
Speaker 2: Me and Lily and we were like doing whatever the
Speaker 2: fuck were doing, Yeah, some stupid ship and then we
Speaker 2: were like you called. You came back in and we
Speaker 2: were like what happened to him? And I was like,
Speaker 2: we crashed.
Speaker 1: You walked into that apartment and I was like scared.
Speaker 4: So I was like, what it looked like the mob
Speaker 4: had found you or something like you looked like you.
Speaker 1: Were through the ring. You about yourself, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I asked you for a jointed smoke, like I just
Speaker 1: need to relax.
Speaker 2: Did I have any those parties? Remember you got for
Speaker 2: random parties? Were like in a fucking tube.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. Yeah. I had a lot more weed
Speaker 1: back then. Yeah, I think yeah, and had that watching
Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle good laugh, and I's totally forgotten about this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of stuff memories that happened in
Speaker 1: Hilda or around Hilda. It feels like so much more
Speaker 1: things happened there, Like I feel like.
Speaker 3: More things happened there than we remember.
Speaker 1: For sure. I think Olive felt weird because it felt
Speaker 1: like it was we were a little bit more together
Speaker 1: in all of that's slightly more so, like we had
Speaker 1: a lot of I think Hilda was a ton of
Speaker 1: fun because we meet up in the intersection of our
Speaker 1: rooms and lay down on the ground on the cock
Speaker 1: carpet and just talk about craziness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, I mean that's in that video. Basically, that's it.
Speaker 1: That's the start of that. The contention was doing that
Speaker 1: that video.
Speaker 3: I don't there's like some.
Speaker 4: Video that I posted a long time ago of us
Speaker 4: just kind of talking in that that's in that space
Speaker 4: because I think I just had the camera on and
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know, I needed a film.
Speaker 3: I needed bullshit to throw in the middle of like.
Speaker 4: Videos that I was making, because that was the only
Speaker 4: way that I knew how to transition between things was
Speaker 4: just throw people non sequitives that had nothing to do with.
Speaker 1: Anything perfect and was insane.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's the I think you had like a
Speaker 4: that was the bag sword or something invented characters.
Speaker 1: There was somebody with a bag sword. There was a
Speaker 1: guy back flip out of tanks. He would get really
Speaker 1: close Peop would take where he's man blow them up.
Speaker 1: There was a little fire skate the classic one classic
Speaker 1: guid on the fire skate, the fires.
Speaker 3: That falls off is on video.
Speaker 1: I have that. OK, that's good that that idea is
Speaker 1: one of the most insane ideas ever. There's a little
Speaker 1: kid trying to help. Yeah, we had.
Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like when we moved into
Speaker 4: the second apartment. Uh, that wasn't under duress, because we
Speaker 4: moved in that first place kind of underdress, not necessarily
Speaker 4: to duress, but like we only found it because I
Speaker 4: was outside screaming.
Speaker 1: You remember that, Yes, I do remember. That was outside,
Speaker 1: Like we came up to you and said, hey, I
Speaker 1: have a place. I couldn't help it over here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't open over here the landlord Everett. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I had Like I was outside, like on the phone
Speaker 4: with my parents or like I was on the phone
Speaker 4: my mom was like, these people out here don't know
Speaker 4: how to do anything, Like what the fuck is?
Speaker 3: Why is everybody out here so stupid? Because I think
Speaker 3: we had seen a.
Speaker 1: Place seem like three places. We'd seen so many places.
Speaker 1: You remember that place that we walked in. There was
Speaker 1: nobody there. We walked in.
Speaker 4: They were like, you've got first, You've got priority, right,
Speaker 4: They said, like, you've got priority on this place. And
Speaker 4: I was like, great, let's sign the fuck. It was
Speaker 4: like a townhouse. Yeah, it was like it was nice.
Speaker 1: It was so it was so awesome. I would have
Speaker 1: loved to have lived there, but like we probably would
Speaker 1: have kept it and had like still great pricing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, like it was a good place.
Speaker 1: And then it costs now, holy c probably a lot. Actually, well,
Speaker 1: you know what are they charge in for Hilda now garbage?
Speaker 3: They're charging what I'm paying it right now.
Speaker 1: You're lying Now, I'm.
Speaker 4: Not kidding for that fucking terrible apartment they got no air,
Speaker 4: doesn't cool.
Speaker 1: Down, doesn't cool down, paper walls, paper.
Speaker 3: Do you earn the noise complace that we were, yet
Speaker 3: we get constantly.
Speaker 1: Get them again.
Speaker 4: I remember there was an old Asian man that that
Speaker 4: came up. Yeah, it's like can you quiet down? It
Speaker 4: was I was like I don't.
Speaker 1: That was on the day.
Speaker 3: We weren't even being loud, so like I didn't even
Speaker 3: understand what was happening.
Speaker 1: I was like buddy, it gets so much worse. It
Speaker 1: gets so much Just wait, it gets so much worse.
Speaker 1: They're not even playing video game. Remember the Skyrim days,
Speaker 1: you'd have a party that is solid sky everybody. You
Speaker 1: were doing it too, you were playing over our trash home.
Speaker 1: I remember I brought Lily over for a Skyrim party.
Speaker 1: She was like, what the fuck is this? Are you
Speaker 1: guys playing together? I was like, no, in theory, we're
Speaker 1: around each other. We're all playing.
Speaker 4: The idea that we the idea that we all got
Speaker 4: together and played Skyrim separately.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. List no regrets. I'll do it again. I'll
Speaker 1: you can do it today, dude, bring them TV's over
Speaker 1: to the path. We could do it. You got a
Speaker 1: spare TV, spare monitors, had spare monitors line, I do
Speaker 1: have spare TVs. Trying to explain to my girlfriend now
Speaker 1: that yeah, we need spare TVs like it just doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense to her, but to me, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: just in case you know it's over over someone comes
Speaker 1: over and brings their console with them, why not let's
Speaker 1: play some fucking skyrom.
Speaker 4: Dude, I have a spare PlayStation now there, I've got
Speaker 4: my old PS five just sitting there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got spare PlayStation, maybe a spare Xbox anywhere
Speaker 1: I need a TV. I have an Xbox Series at
Speaker 1: my parents house.
Speaker 2: I have I have like multiple Nintendo switches in my house.
Speaker 2: That's about it, because Lily has one. I have one,
Speaker 2: and then I have the one that I was supposed
Speaker 2: to give the Lily but she ended up getting her
Speaker 2: own before that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: You know, I just remembered about that apartment that you
Speaker 3: slept on, that foot on that was broken for months.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you were used to fix it. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: were just sleeping on the ground with like it works.
Speaker 3: That thing did not work. It got that was so
Speaker 3: non functional.
Speaker 1: It was infuriate. It worked in terms of being off
Speaker 1: the ground. It worked in terms of being something that
Speaker 1: wasn't the floor, right, It wasn't the floor, but.
Speaker 3: You we might as well just had a man on
Speaker 3: the floor.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 4: At a certain point, like I don't even know why
Speaker 4: we even went with the facade that we even had
Speaker 4: something akin to a foodtob We were just pretending to
Speaker 4: have a.
Speaker 1: Foot At a certain point, Yeah, it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we got it together. Look we've got like a living
Speaker 1: room area.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they like didn't function it because so much was
Speaker 4: taken up by that crazy desk.
Speaker 2: Remember breaking as remember how liberating it was destroying that desk.
Speaker 1: I remember all you.
Speaker 4: Don't remember breaking that desk? O. So we had a
Speaker 4: you brought it in, right, No.
Speaker 1: It was it was whisky. It was. It was whiskey.
Speaker 1: Me and and Jay and I brought it in. But
Speaker 1: it was Kevin's show off. That thing was so heavy, heavy,
Speaker 1: crazy touch.
Speaker 4: In retrospect, that was probably the most expensive piece of
Speaker 4: sure that we had ever even remotely come into contact with,
Speaker 4: because it was such a heavy, like mahogany desk almost.
Speaker 1: That was like one piece of wood, you know, like yeah,
Speaker 1: like carved, that's like something that's in your like office,
Speaker 1: in your fucking.
Speaker 4: Home, not even our hole, like it's like our grandfather's home,
Speaker 4: like like that's where like your grandfather type writes. And
Speaker 4: we just took like I don't even know how we
Speaker 4: busted it over. We I know we busted in one
Speaker 4: of the doors because one of the doors was locked
Speaker 4: because one of our friends left it with us and
Speaker 4: then just never had any indication that he was going
Speaker 4: to take it back.
Speaker 1: There was no essentially well regardless, so regardless of who
Speaker 1: took who away. Let's not get into specific. Was it
Speaker 1: like he was just like ah whatever, you know, he
Speaker 1: had to leave, We had to, right whatever.
Speaker 4: The point is that desk was sitting in our apartment
Speaker 4: for fucking ever. Yeah, and it was like barely I
Speaker 4: think we tried to use it kind of we know.
Speaker 1: Somebody behind it. It was like a like a separating
Speaker 1: room for the other guy we had.
Speaker 4: We had a homeless We had a homeless person living
Speaker 4: behind like behind the behind the desk. I love that
Speaker 4: somebody else is here to corroborate that this is real
Speaker 4: because it sounds so fucking fake.
Speaker 1: But it's three sources. That's insane lifestyle. It's fake. Sounds
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we lived in an apartment with like a homeless
Speaker 4: guy living behind the desk in our living room.
Speaker 1: He lived behind the deck.
Speaker 3: In fairness, I rarely saw him because he was behind
Speaker 3: the desk all the time, you know.
Speaker 1: But that was real that that was like a real
Speaker 1: thing that happened to it.
Speaker 2: It was such an insane period of time. He was
Speaker 2: because it's one of my coworkers, right, and he just
Speaker 2: got put on and I was like, man, I'm not
Speaker 2: doing good.
Speaker 1: But at least I'm not homeless.
Speaker 4: Hey, it is crazy, though, in retrospect, that you and
Speaker 4: somebody who wasn't paying red.
Speaker 2: Offered a space offer. I asked, I asked. Before I
Speaker 2: did that, I made sure. I was like, hey, I
Speaker 2: live with people. I can't just break someone here exactly
Speaker 2: let me ask.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't mind because it wasn't like I
Speaker 1: I had things. I didn't feel like I had things
Speaker 1: that were important, Like I stopped thinking of my car,
Speaker 1: drove across the country and we slept in a Walmart
Speaker 1: parking lot with the doors open, with all of our things,
Speaker 1: everything to our name.
Speaker 2: We didn't care because the other friends that moved the
Speaker 2: same time got robbed twice.
Speaker 1: We looked like we were homeless, so like we looked
Speaker 1: dangerous kind of because like our car was beat up,
Speaker 1: we were sweating, we were Dirtywe we we bathed in
Speaker 1: the in the bathroom. In the bathroom baths literally were
Speaker 1: just like we took the sink and splashed ourselves right, literally,
Speaker 1: we splashed ourselves clear clean. For a minute.
Speaker 3: Was that in Illinois that we did that?
Speaker 1: I think it was annoyed, but we also can't I
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about that. Don't forget about that one.
Speaker 4: That camping that camping ship really pissed camp. No, we
Speaker 4: didn't try it. We did we bare We hitched a
Speaker 4: tent in the dark.
Speaker 1: We got him inside like Abraham Lincoln Forest and uh
Speaker 1: in Illinois, and we had we pitched his head in
Speaker 1: the dark out from exhaustion. He stayed away for six hours.
Speaker 1: We lived so we were like, it's been sounding fake
Speaker 1: for a while. You know, what do you guys doing?
Speaker 4: Just you guys, Because we couldn't stay in a hotel.
Speaker 4: I had two hundred dollars to my name. I think
Speaker 4: that was all I had.
Speaker 1: Was pulled into a parking lot. You guys can't just.
Speaker 3: Parking out where we'd be seeing brilliant people.
Speaker 1: But I think you got any sleeping in the darkness.
Speaker 1: You know how comfortable tents are that are prepared. And
Speaker 1: he was on the ground in the woods. We had
Speaker 1: no sleeping bags, so we literally laid on the ground
Speaker 1: with a thin layer of tent over it.
Speaker 3: He passed out immediately.
Speaker 1: I was awake the whole time because all I was
Speaker 1: thinking of, we're gonna get all our stuff stolen, and
Speaker 1: something's gonna kill it, eat us or I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: raped and killed or something, some horrible thing. And then
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, Will he's passed out.
Speaker 1: I hear fucking sniffing. I hear animals. You heard sniffing.
Speaker 1: Oh my, I heard, and I look over at Jay
Speaker 1: Jalen's pass out like a baby I was doing was
Speaker 1: sleeping sound He was so fucking he was like a cherub.
Speaker 1: That was fucking ridiculous. I've never seen somebody sleep so soundly.
Speaker 1: While I was in we have never been here in
Speaker 1: the state or in this fort. I never in Illinois.
Speaker 1: I've never been camping like that, especially with nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: and it was dark. When i've it together, it wasn't
Speaker 1: put together right. There's animals sniffing outside. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I can't be at peace. Feel like a
Speaker 1: big animal or they feel like a small animal. Snip irrelevant.
Speaker 1: That was it was. It was a beast that was curious,
Speaker 1: which was more than more suspicion that I wanted to
Speaker 1: arouse that I think it was bigger. Though.
Speaker 3: My my hunch was that because it sounded hefty, you know,
Speaker 3: and so I was like.
Speaker 1: At best, it's a deer. At worst, it's a bear.
Speaker 1: We had a series of unfortunate events that entire trip,
Speaker 1: That whole drive was truly insane. Two and a half
Speaker 1: days and a half days, literally insane. Two and a
Speaker 1: half days. We made it from New York to l A,
Speaker 1: which is almost max speed MAC speed and very limited breaks.
Speaker 1: And we did stop a couple of times because we
Speaker 1: did stop at the like a hotel, Like we looked
Speaker 1: at the hotel once you got sick, that gets sick.
Speaker 1: What we were do you remember that red hole you
Speaker 1: were that cold subway sandwich? I was gonna get to
Speaker 1: that sandwich, I said, what sucks.
Speaker 4: We stopped at a subway in the middle of our
Speaker 4: drive because it was like the only thing but like
Speaker 4: that was possible to stop at.
Speaker 1: And we stopped off and I was like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me get a steak and cheese because it's
Speaker 4: just I needed something hot and like with like I
Speaker 4: needed meat and just something right. And they were like, hey,
Speaker 4: so the so the toast is not working. And I
Speaker 4: was like, so it's a cold steak and cheese sandwich
Speaker 4: and we were like yeah, And I was like fine.
Speaker 1: We only had some Gatorade energy gummies. We had a
Speaker 1: like a box of nuts and a box of Little
Speaker 1: Bites and a few Red Bulls. That's what that was
Speaker 1: our preparation for meals. We were gonna make a bunch
Speaker 1: of sandwiches, and then we just didn't. We didn't do it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. Uh, maybe we didn't have time.
Speaker 1: We could have just made the time. We just do it.
Speaker 1: We were just like we think, we were just eager
Speaker 1: to it out.
Speaker 4: And by the time we had the plan to make sandwiches,
Speaker 4: it was already like it's tomorrow.
Speaker 3: We could just let's just go. We'll figure it out.
Speaker 4: But Yeah, there's Gatorade energy gummies, which I'm still stouted
Speaker 4: or even real.
Speaker 1: I think they stopped selling them. I think I never
Speaker 1: I haven't seen them in a long maybe ever. I've
Speaker 1: only ever seen them that one time I bought. I
Speaker 1: feel like you guys are talking about them. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're real. You guys are imagining them. Maybe.
Speaker 4: Man, there's a lot of ship that it feels like
Speaker 4: we imagined, Like that wall of rain, the wall of
Speaker 4: rain we drove into that attacked us, that trucker that
Speaker 4: almost killed us.
Speaker 1: Uh, the fog that was the densest fog I've still
Speaker 1: seen seen dense. Fog is creepy because it was always dense. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you remember you remember our friend Vanessa? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: there was always fog. I remember there was always fog
Speaker 1: by her house. You don't remember. You don't remember there
Speaker 1: being fogged by her house. I would have never went back.
Speaker 1: I would have marked her as a witch and said
Speaker 1: we're done. I went there. There was one stayed over
Speaker 1: at her house for some reason. I don't know why.
Speaker 2: Maybe I was with Elliott, but I stayed over there,
Speaker 2: and I remember looking outside her house. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm in this place where I know this person, best person.
Speaker 2: Four times, I'm just at this I'm downstairs, they're upstairs
Speaker 2: doing whatever the fuck they're doing, and I'm just in
Speaker 2: this place.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm here. I should have just
Speaker 1: went home. There was a few times like that with
Speaker 1: Elliott where I was like, why am I here? Right now?
Speaker 1: Brings me?
Speaker 2: I was in I told his story here. I was
Speaker 2: in fucking what's the place called Woodstock with Elliott? And
Speaker 2: it was I was the I why have I gotten
Speaker 2: taken the Woodstock? With Elliott as well?
Speaker 1: You've been there with him too, Yes, I hang up
Speaker 1: with it was only saying with some random girl that.
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know these who was there
Speaker 1: with him?
Speaker 2: And it was me and Troy I think Troy Barker
Speaker 2: or Tony Barker, the back comedian guy, actually famous comedian.
Speaker 2: Me and him were the only black people there who
Speaker 2: were smoking a blunt together. And you were like, what
Speaker 2: the fuck are we doing? He was like, man, I
Speaker 2: was here for a show. I was like, I was
Speaker 2: just following my fucking friend. I don't know what This
Speaker 2: place seems insane?
Speaker 1: Yeah, wood Sock, Yeah, I've been there twice. That place
Speaker 1: I've never been nothing. It looks like it looks like
Speaker 1: the how do I describe it best? You know the plaza,
Speaker 1: the plaza like fucking shopping areas. Yeah. Sure, it looks
Speaker 1: like a town of that.
Speaker 3: That sounds like that can play strip mall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like a town. Like there's a strip mall,
Speaker 1: like a big strip mall became a town somehow.
Speaker 3: If you do you remember this like I do? In Kansas?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were driving through Kansas and I feel like
Speaker 4: we passed the same town over and over again.
Speaker 1: Yes, do you remember this? Yes? And we are A
Speaker 1: comment on that was like, can it's taken forever to
Speaker 1: get through Kansas, and it really did. And we hit
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in Kansas.
Speaker 3: It feels like the majority of Archer was Kansas somehow.
Speaker 1: Right, That's where uh I we stopped because my mom
Speaker 1: my car was like in rough condition, right, So I
Speaker 1: was like worried about if we use the AC for
Speaker 1: too long. I was like, we might need motoil. Pulled
Speaker 1: over to the gas station. That's why I saw a
Speaker 1: cowboy and cashier. They really didn't like me, so I
Speaker 1: had to leave with zero help. After walking in, walked out,
Speaker 1: where was the rains? You were in the car? I
Speaker 1: walked in, I asked him for like, hey, where's their motoil?
Speaker 1: Him and this cowboy. The catcher and the cowboy just
Speaker 1: looked at me like this is not where you're supposed
Speaker 1: to be and they said nothing to me, and I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, So I went to the back
Speaker 1: look for the motor oil. I think I found it,
Speaker 1: but I was like, I'm not going to go to
Speaker 1: the cash register and say anything to these people because
Speaker 1: I'm getting real bad vibes. Bro I left. We turned around.
Speaker 1: We just left, and I was like, all right, we're
Speaker 1: just gonna hopefully the car works. This is the best outcome.
Speaker 1: Probably I was. Probably I felt like that was that
Speaker 1: was the dud guy who've never been to Kansas before.
Speaker 1: Never never. I want to go across country.
Speaker 3: There's nothing to see.
Speaker 1: I want to across contract. Is that where we did
Speaker 1: the illegal U turn front of all those police U
Speaker 1: turn because I was driving without knowing where I was going.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, So we got I got into Kansas
Speaker 3: City and I fell asleep and I'm holding the phone.
Speaker 3: I guess with the GPS instead of waking me up.
Speaker 1: He's driving bad because he hadn't been sleeping. He drives.
Speaker 1: He drives in circles in Kansas City for like hours,
Speaker 1: and then I finally woke up and I was like
Speaker 1: where are we He was like, oh, Kansas City. And
Speaker 1: I was like, we're still in Kansas City. The sun's
Speaker 1: almost down. He was like, yeah, you look like you
Speaker 1: were like real at peace, you up peace at hours.
Speaker 1: I guess it was Kansas City. So it wasn't that
Speaker 1: long after Illinois, but like, fucking man, man, that was crazy.
Speaker 3: I think that was like when I passed out after
Speaker 3: the camping.
Speaker 1: Because I didn't sleep. So I was like you're yeah,
Speaker 1: because at all I was like being sniffed on by
Speaker 1: bears and ship.
Speaker 4: Oh man, that was a drive. And I remember I
Speaker 4: was so sick when we finally got to l A.
Speaker 4: There's a picture somewhere of us getting to la the
Speaker 4: day we got there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I looked so ill. That was such a rough.
Speaker 2: That was such a like, dude, I remember you guys
Speaker 2: being like, yeah, we made it, and I was like, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we weren't even happy, we were just now.
Speaker 3: I took a cold shower.
Speaker 4: It was the only time in my life that I
Speaker 4: took a cold shower ever, because I think I had
Speaker 4: a fever end.
Speaker 1: It was one hundred and six degrees. I never used.
Speaker 1: Do you remember we were all in that house for
Speaker 1: a pit of time when we first moved out here.
Speaker 4: We were rooming with Joe and we were like seven
Speaker 4: of us and it was in a two bedroom, seven
Speaker 4: of us in a two bedroom, and we would turn
Speaker 4: the A C on and I remember being at the time.
Speaker 4: I remember at the time being like I will pay
Speaker 4: for the I will literally foot your bill for please
Speaker 4: let me, because they would just let me use it
Speaker 4: and I would turn it on and then they would
Speaker 4: Joe would wake up like a zombie in the middle
Speaker 4: of the night.
Speaker 3: I'm not even convincing he was conscious when he did that.
Speaker 1: I've seen him do it. Yeah, Bill turned it out.
Speaker 4: He wait, and he woke up saunter over like a
Speaker 4: And in my memory, he didn't even walk to it.
Speaker 4: It was like you know when people walk, there's like
Speaker 4: kind of like an up and down motion to the
Speaker 4: It's like it was like he glided like a like
Speaker 4: a fucking rate over to the a C and shut
Speaker 4: it off. And I remember always hearing that click being
Speaker 4: like no, no, dear deer falls down my face such
Speaker 4: a fu That.
Speaker 1: Carpet was riddled with grief. Just never dude. Remember when
Speaker 1: they world and it was still terrible. Wait they cleaned

Speaker 1: We were like filming a movie for the graduations like that,
Speaker 1: and at that period of time they had like people
Speaker 1: come in and cleaned it. He said, we paid to
Speaker 1: have it gleed, and like I remember Karnam Maliar and
Speaker 1: it was like, look is a clean car. It looks
Speaker 1: you see they got what's crazy about that that apartment?
Speaker 1: I don't think it was the cleaner's fot. I think
Speaker 1: they could do all they could.
Speaker 4: What's crazy about the apartment that, Joe, because you lived
Speaker 4: there with Whiskey and Joe for a while. When I
Speaker 4: when we first got to l A, I stayed in
Speaker 4: la for like three months and I couldn't find the job,
Speaker 4: and then so I moved back home. And then when
Speaker 4: I came back, that was when we lived in that
Speaker 4: We lived in the same place with seven other people
Speaker 4: for like a brief period of time. But I remember
Speaker 4: my first trip there. The first three months, it was like, Oh,
Speaker 4: this was a nice little place. You had that cut
Speaker 4: out of fucking the dose equis guy in the corner. Oh,
Speaker 4: I remember that. It's in the background of some stuff
Speaker 4: that I was looking at the other day. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 4: that was a nice little place. And then I went
Speaker 4: home and like worked for like months, and I was like, hey,
Speaker 4: I can finally come back out guys.
Speaker 3: And then I remember the day I got to that apartment.
Speaker 3: I was convinced that. So I got I got off
Speaker 3: the plane or fucking whatever, and I got I took
Speaker 3: my lift or my uber to this apartment to meet
Speaker 3: up with you guys, because we were gonna be crashing
Speaker 3: there for like as long as it took to find
Speaker 3: a new place, which thankfully only took three weeks. But
Speaker 3: I walked up to the apartment and I felt something
Speaker 3: was wrong as I was approaching. I remember feeling that
Speaker 3: because I was like, I've never felt that way before, weird.
Speaker 3: And then I get to the door, period.
Speaker 1: And then I get to the door, the door is open,
Speaker 1: wide open, and I walk in the sofas in the
Speaker 1: middle of the the middle of the living round. I
Speaker 1: remember everything is gone.
Speaker 3: There's stains all over the ground.
Speaker 1: Look it looked like someone had run in there, robbed
Speaker 1: you and killed everybody involved. It looked like a crack house.
Speaker 1: It really did.
Speaker 3: It looked like like I was like, what happened while
Speaker 3: I was gone? And like I walked in, I was like, hello,
Speaker 3: is anyone here?
Speaker 1: And I was like expecting, like I half expected like
Speaker 1: a guy in a mask to come out and shoot
Speaker 1: be dead. But I was like whatever. I got here
Speaker 1: and no one answered for like twenty minutes, and so
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there, I'm looking around.
Speaker 3: I'm like is anybody here like Jayleen, like whisk.
Speaker 1: And then twenty minutes later Kevin. Kevin goes, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: you didn't even actually live there. Yeah, he goes, hey, Chris,
Speaker 1: I was like, you're here whatever. First of all, what
Speaker 1: the fuck happened? It?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 4: I wish I'm so I'm annoyed that I didn't take
Speaker 4: a picture of it, because no amount of like just
Speaker 4: description will do it just It really looked like shit
Speaker 4: was ripped off.
Speaker 3: It really looked like a crackhouse.
Speaker 1: It was bad place. I don't know it was No,
Speaker 1: that was before I think that was before people even
Speaker 1: got there. Oh that's what's crazy. We cleaned it up
Speaker 1: so people could just stays before me and Elliot got
Speaker 1: it came out the day later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was it. It was crazy.
Speaker 1: There was no worry about getting robbed there because it
Speaker 1: looked like somebody already ran right. It's like it's like
Speaker 1: in Last of Us where it's like, oh, there's nothing here.
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll be like tape or a nail nail and
Speaker 1: pills of some sort. I could take the slow down
Speaker 1: the pain. Damn dude.
Speaker 2: I remember we got the apartment and Elliott was like,
Speaker 2: I'm staying with you guys for the rest of my
Speaker 2: vacation here, I am not staying there.
Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, I was. In fairness, we
Speaker 3: did have a new apartment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in comparison, we had the one mattress that we
Speaker 1: all laid on. Jalen had the only in his room.
Speaker 1: So me, you and Elliott just took portions of the mattress.
Speaker 1: We were off, half on and or half of that
Speaker 1: was one time. I was twenty fifteen, so that was
Speaker 1: it was sixteen, was it? Oh yea, that's right, that's.
Speaker 3: Right, that's right. It was twenty sixteen.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, and I remember just yeah, we just we
Speaker 4: couldn't have any miscommunication about how gay it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we took portions.
Speaker 4: I think I laid on the corner with just my
Speaker 4: stomach and my arms and legs hanging off.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I was on the edge closest to
Speaker 2: the door and it was just the top part of
Speaker 2: my body.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it looked fucking crazy, that is saying.
Speaker 1: And what I just had a mattress on the floor
Speaker 1: right from the last place.
Speaker 2: You had your mattress, and then like I didn't have
Speaker 2: a frame because I was on a bunk bed with Joe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had a.
Speaker 4: That's right, Yeah, you just had You just had the
Speaker 4: mattress on the ground.
Speaker 1: You walk in and you were just laying in the
Speaker 1: middle of your floor in your room. There was just
Speaker 1: nothing in the room.
Speaker 3: I had never been yet on the floor.
Speaker 1: I didn't never be bread out to stay cool. That's right.
Speaker 1: That is such an insane because it's technically, well, it's
Speaker 1: a little while ago now all Like, I've been on
Speaker 1: here for almost ten years. Next year will be ten
Speaker 1: years from Yeah, it'll be It is ten years I
Speaker 1: think about. Yeah for me, next ye'll be ten years.
Speaker 4: It's about to be ten years for me if you
Speaker 4: count that three month period that I was out here
Speaker 4: for like a little bit, which I do kind of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the first period of time. You came
Speaker 1: back like a six months later.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like six months when I came back
Speaker 4: a little bit after my birthday because I was like,
Speaker 4: I can't, I don't want to.
Speaker 1: What else happened at Hilda. There was more crazy stuff that.
Speaker 2: Was one of our friends. One of our friends got
Speaker 2: really drunk and tried to drive home and I had
Speaker 2: to wake up sleep and convinced them not to.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, hey, you're about to look
Speaker 1: up and I was like, are you because right? Because yo,
Speaker 1: current me right now, I wouldn't do anything. I'd be
Speaker 1: like I would say something and it didn't listen. I'd
Speaker 1: be like, look, I can't I can't keep you here
Speaker 1: right if you don't want to be here, I can't
Speaker 1: keep you in class, you know, like my teacher, I
Speaker 1: can't make you stink. I want to say class. But
Speaker 1: like I was like, hey, don't go. I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: don't really like no. I got to get home and
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, Bud, you're very drunk.
Speaker 1: You're not standing up straight. Go to sleep, Please go
Speaker 1: to sleep. That was the best thing you could do.
Speaker 1: I saved the life. Yeah, that makes up for all
Speaker 1: the bad ever done because I saved the life. You
Speaker 1: do you remember? Uh? I'm trying to.
Speaker 4: Figure out how to tell the story about using names,
Speaker 4: which because I don't I don't necessarily want names.
Speaker 1: But when they made up the fib about someone dying, yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: yeah that was the thing. So sister called me, Your
Speaker 1: sister called me. Mom called me, and I was like,
Speaker 1: let's give.
Speaker 4: Some context, not names, but a friend of ours I
Speaker 4: think you were. You were hanging out with a friend
Speaker 4: of ours and some other some girl that were vaguely
Speaker 4: together sort of.
Speaker 1: Or no, no, no, no, it was just him and a
Speaker 1: girl hanging out.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, all right, and then and then a
Speaker 3: friend of ours showed up, right, and they wanted to
Speaker 3: restart something.
Speaker 2: No, no, it was so this is how it happened. This
Speaker 2: makes it even, it's it's it's entirely fucked up. This
Speaker 2: would makes it's it's all.
Speaker 3: Just you tell I barely remember it. I just remember
Speaker 3: what we the joke.
Speaker 2: So what happened was Jalen was hanging out with one
Speaker 2: of our friends. Right, they were drinking, is being fucking
Speaker 2: twenty somethings drinking, hanging not right. All of a sudden,
Speaker 2: our friend is like, hey, Jayleen, you have to go home, right,
Speaker 2: Jayalen's clearly drunk.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, wait wait, I didn't prepare to like
Speaker 1: leave me.
Speaker 2: They were like, we gotta go home, Like hey, you
Speaker 2: gotta get out of here. X y Z like something's happening.
Speaker 2: And he was like, okay, I guess.
Speaker 1: So Jalen just waited in the car and all he
Speaker 1: sees is our other friend pulling up there. Who is
Speaker 1: that girl's ex boyfriend? Yeah, so she told Jayleen to
Speaker 1: leave for a booty call. Ye, well he was expecting
Speaker 1: him to just get home. Fine, I guess I'm gonna
Speaker 1: chill him in my car.
Speaker 2: And then Jalen comes home like an hour or two later.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, just kicked me out. It's so fucked up,
Speaker 2: and CS like, you know what be funny? Okay, hold on, wait,
Speaker 2: you know what'd be a good funny joke?
Speaker 1: This is not how I remember. That is exactly how
Speaker 1: it happened.
Speaker 4: So I was literally just joking. Okay, that was our
Speaker 4: sense of humor at the time. Obviously it was still
Speaker 4: kind of is.
Speaker 1: It was more grim or it was more grim before.
Speaker 1: So oh then we got another friend that was really
Speaker 1: down for it. Was ournother friend who really was like
Speaker 1: do this, do this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I pitched as a joke.
Speaker 1: It's like, that's really fucked up.
Speaker 3: That's not an okay thing to do to somebody. I
Speaker 3: feel pretty strongly about that. Actually, it really bothered me
Speaker 3: that that happened, and so I was like, you know
Speaker 3: you should do is that you should not respond to
Speaker 3: any messages or phone calls.
Speaker 1: We'll all and if.
Speaker 3: They message us, we'll just say we haven't heard from
Speaker 3: you or haven't seen you in a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and wouldn't that be wild? But that's all I meant.
Speaker 1: I was just like, wouldn't that be wild? And L
Speaker 1: O L wouldn't that be funny? And then our other
Speaker 1: friend was like, yes, oody, like Mormon friendbody, this is
Speaker 1: what we're doing. Nobody's out, dude, And then I remember
Speaker 1: just being yeah, whatever, because in my mind at the
Speaker 1: same time, I.
Speaker 4: Was like, legs, well, I didn't he I didn't think
Speaker 4: it would last as long as it did, be uh.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 4: I also just didn't care really at the time because
Speaker 4: I just I really thought like it was just so
Speaker 4: fucked up to kick somebody out like that when they're
Speaker 4: drunk and expecting to drive home.
Speaker 3: I think it's like a really fucked up thing.
Speaker 4: So I think part of me was just like whatever
Speaker 4: do but like but then it got like crazy because
Speaker 4: then like that it like so many people thought you
Speaker 4: were dead.
Speaker 1: Your sister called me it was spreading way too far,
Speaker 1: like that's like Ni called me Giohanny texted me because
Speaker 1: of what you called it, because of of.
Speaker 2: Jilani's what you called Gianni was like, hey, have you
Speaker 2: seen John them? And I was like, man, I was like,
Speaker 2: do I lie? Like, do I lie?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: That's crazy when it becomes family like that's like no.
Speaker 2: That's when things got back because I remember I contacted.
Speaker 2: I was like, Jellen, your mom just messaged me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because our other friends, because I think my phone
Speaker 1: was just straight up off. I think I think that
Speaker 1: was so nobody could get in contact. And I was like,
Speaker 1: do I lie?
Speaker 2: And I was like, hey, it's not a big deal,
Speaker 2: don't worry about it, and said it was like, how
Speaker 2: is this not looking looking? Taking a moment outside of
Speaker 2: myself and flipping it to the other side.
Speaker 1: Of the That isn't crazy thing to say. It's not
Speaker 1: a big deal from him, like, it's like whatever, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm playing fucking overwatchs be alone. And it got so bad.
Speaker 1: So the thing gets a resolved.
Speaker 4: It left the it left the target demographic. It got
Speaker 4: way bigger than even the joke and thought it would.
Speaker 2: It's it's like when it's like when a snowball goes
Speaker 2: down a mountain and it ends up being an avalanche.
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, it's like not how it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: But it was also a pretty dense joke because yeah,
Speaker 1: they when they found out I was alive. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure they started crying. Oh yeah, no of course. And
Speaker 1: then we had, uh like a game, like a championship
Speaker 1: game to go play, like right, oh, that's right, you're on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were in college afftball team, and college you didn't attend.
Speaker 1: Didn't attend you? See why I tell you about life
Speaker 1: sounds fake? Right, you were? You were the secondary coach
Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, I was coaching. That was
Speaker 1: as never played softball in his life, and I figured
Speaker 1: it out pretty quickly. It's a pretty easy thing to
Speaker 1: figure out pretty quick. Just toss the ball, you know,
Speaker 1: toss ball, run away, hit ball. That really was crazy,
Speaker 1: but that's so fun. I didn't even think about remember
Speaker 1: the A few days later, we played Sellers a Katan.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah we played that day. We played Sellers at
Speaker 3: our house.
Speaker 1: That's not the day I'm thinking about. That was when
Speaker 1: you fucking I'm I'm not an asshole for this. So
Speaker 1: he started making our friend cry right, No, no, she
Speaker 1: was making fun of being talking to me about like
Speaker 1: I was being an asshole, Katan, and I was like
Speaker 1: she has you threw our friend to death? How am I?
Speaker 1: Everybody was like, oh, that's too far, and I was like,
Speaker 1: she did. We're from New York, so our thick skin
Speaker 1: like does not compare to like the thinness different. It
Speaker 1: was a different I was not.
Speaker 2: I till this day, I think I might have been
Speaker 2: a little too stunch. I could have backed down a
Speaker 2: little bit more. I was definitely more. I was definitely
Speaker 2: more New York, Jamaican King City and than I am now.
Speaker 3: So I was you reignited something that was done.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? It was toad.
Speaker 3: It wasn't that long. It wasn't that.
Speaker 1: It wasn't it was no. It was very quick. I
Speaker 1: feel like it was like a week. It was not
Speaker 1: a week. It was like it came over pretty late.
Speaker 1: But she was like I was. But then one of
Speaker 1: my other friends jumped in, uh the no no. But
Speaker 1: then the guy that alongside her did the evil thing
Speaker 1: kept making fun of her too, and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got it. They got quay crazy.
Speaker 4: It's pretty crazy, because you know what I remember most
Speaker 4: about that is that having that stupid high table that
Speaker 4: we got from Ikea and one that was like unreasonably tall, yeah,
Speaker 4: but it felt like you could. That thing was hefty,
Speaker 4: man like somebodkey furniture. I'm like, this is flimsy as
Speaker 4: fucking and that thing felt like you could beat a
Speaker 4: dragon without it.
Speaker 1: And we had the hold on the top. You put
Speaker 1: the ropes around the back windows and then I was
Speaker 1: holding on to it on the top as we rove back.
Speaker 2: Seriously, dude, that was Ikea. First of all sucks. Fuck Ikea. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I hate it, like not for the food. Like if
Speaker 2: you if you're trying to furnish a home on a
Speaker 2: bridget budget, bridget on a budget, look do what you
Speaker 2: gotta do. Like I'm not here to tell people that
Speaker 2: not furnished their homes, but the way Ikea is designed
Speaker 2: fucking so.
Speaker 1: You should tell them to not furnish their homes.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'm not on people want to hear
Speaker 2: person like I could. I could live in a house
Speaker 2: with a a bed, maybe a desk, and then like
Speaker 2: I don't know, stand thirty cats, Dirty.
Speaker 1: Cats, thirty two minutes, dirty cats, filthy cats, street cats.
Speaker 1: Actually every cat looks actually gray, but most of them
Speaker 1: are actually white. I love it, like the mind children
Speaker 1: like children, filthy kid and cats can cough, so they
Speaker 1: can like cough up some of that mind dust exactly.
Speaker 2: If they cough enough mind us, I can use it
Speaker 2: to sell as a mine. I start my own mind
Speaker 2: by cat. We can make this into a business. This
Speaker 2: this has more legs than it should. Like the cats,
Speaker 2: all those cats.
Speaker 1: They survived all that mining.
Speaker 3: They really felt like there were hundreds of cats. I
Speaker 3: started that apartment fucking all the time. Yeah, I really
Speaker 3: don't understand that.
Speaker 1: Torture that whole place. And that's only the first apartment.
Speaker 1: That's only fase. That's what's crazy is that that's just
Speaker 1: the first year that we lived together, because you all
Speaker 1: looked together to win two thousand. You moved out twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Was it twenty twenty that you left?
Speaker 1: I thought it was earlier than that. He left. He
Speaker 1: left right before COVID twenty nineteen. I think it was
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Then he left. He moved out the February
Speaker 1: before COVID, like right before we got shut down at least.
Speaker 1: Oh is that true? Because I know I spent COVID
Speaker 1: by myself in that apartment, and that sucked because it
Speaker 1: was like, okay, it's locked down and also my first
Speaker 1: time living on the on myad.
Speaker 3: That must have been weird. So that was so.
Speaker 1: Weird because he moved out to February, because I remember
Speaker 1: I took the room afterwards, and then we were there
Speaker 1: till August and then we moved.
Speaker 4: Because you yeah, because you pretty much lived with people
Speaker 4: the entire time. Yeah, yeah, and that was like your
Speaker 4: first time and then it was and then it was
Speaker 4: hot down.
Speaker 1: So it's like, yo, you're really by yourself. I never
Speaker 1: lived alone, man, I've never ever ever lived alone. It's
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. Oh shoot, I've never lived alone. I mean
Speaker 1: this is my first time. Yeah. Essentially, because you went
Speaker 1: back home, you learn things about yourself. The Crucible couldn't
Speaker 1: teach you. So tense man.
Speaker 2: I just I think if I lived alone, I would
Speaker 2: never I think if I lived alone before, like I
Speaker 2: would never move them with Lily, What do you mean?
Speaker 2: Because I hate sharing a space with a girl.
Speaker 1: I hate it so much. Wait wait now or before
Speaker 1: maybe before? But like, can we just live separate places
Speaker 1: and love each other forever? And asking that is insane
Speaker 1: to your partner. It's like, hey, give we just like
Speaker 1: never live together, but I love I'll marry you and everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd like the idea of two apartments like that.
Speaker 1: I want two bedrooms. I want two separate bedrooms. I
Speaker 1: think that is something I actually want. The thing is
Speaker 1: I just have an office with a place to sleep
Speaker 1: in the office. It's how I think, but that I
Speaker 1: would end up I end up sleeping there so much
Speaker 1: more often. It's like, might as well have two bedrooms?
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess maybe I don't know, because have
Speaker 4: you guys have seen my beds decorated like a girl's
Speaker 4: bedroom with my computer and stuff in it.
Speaker 1: Okay, not that even that decorated like a girl's bedroom.
Speaker 3: It's decorated like an adult's bedroom.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's a girl's bedroom. My bedroom is a female.
Speaker 1: But I don't think i've really seen your bedroom. It's
Speaker 1: a bunch of like girl old jewelry and like flowers
Speaker 1: and girls styling mirrors, and like, fucking what do you
Speaker 1: have on the walls? Nothing? In my bedroom, we have
Speaker 1: like one Star Wars poster. Now, because she loves Star Wars.
Speaker 3: You have a Star Wars poster in your bedroom? In
Speaker 3: that bedroom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so interesting. I was told she loves Star Wars.
Speaker 1: I really really love that's like her fan we went
Speaker 1: to We went to the freaking Star Wars celebration. I
Speaker 1: thought she was just a Disney person. I think she
Speaker 1: likes Star Wars.
Speaker 2: No, she loves Star Wars. But she loves Star Wars
Speaker 2: because her dad is a nerd. Like her dad's like
Speaker 2: a classic like reads comic book nerds. So that's why
Speaker 2: she loves like nerds it in general. But she got
Speaker 2: into stars because of her dad.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I could like empty walls bother me,
Speaker 4: like it makes me feel like I'm in jail or something.
Speaker 1: I was told I was seemed like a serial killer.
Speaker 1: That nothing. Yeah, I don't. I don't care about having
Speaker 1: I forget things on my walls. But I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't care for anything.
Speaker 3: I was like it just there's something just depressive about it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what, because I don't like fine art
Speaker 1: like that. I just don't. I think it's.
Speaker 3: Dude, I don't even care. It could just be fucking foam,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't like things on my own.
Speaker 4: Soundproofing foam in here like I could care. I could
Speaker 4: give a fuck.
Speaker 2: I just now because like I living with a girl.
Speaker 2: You learn how to become like I wasn't the tidiest.
Speaker 2: I wasn't that tidy. I was like, it wasn't a
Speaker 2: really tiny person. But living with girls, you become extremely tidy.
Speaker 1: Because how is how he undersells.
Speaker 2: I wasn't tidy. I wasn't a tidy person at all.
Speaker 2: But I didn't have a space to be my own.
Speaker 1: That is true.
Speaker 4: You did live in our living room for the damn
Speaker 4: near the entire time that we lived together.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, you already woke up in a puddle
Speaker 1: when my fucking oh my god, yes that it's a
Speaker 1: level of anger.
Speaker 2: I sealed away away. I was like, I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna get this fucking mad again.
Speaker 1: Dude. I had to work, right, you remember, and then
Speaker 1: come back. This is the this is the second apartment
Speaker 1: that we lived in, which might be crazier than he'll do.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I think the.
Speaker 4: Second one was, like I think, because we had our
Speaker 4: our space in the first apartment that we had, even
Speaker 4: if they were ours, like you had your bedroom, I
Speaker 4: had my bedroom, kids at the living room, we were
Speaker 4: both we were all kind of just always in our spaces,
Speaker 4: but our spaces were pretty close, like the doors faced
Speaker 4: each other. We we had that little alcove that we
Speaker 4: it was meet up at. It was there was no
Speaker 4: privacy in there. No, it was just we are two
Speaker 4: together in your apartment and in the next apartment. We like,
Speaker 4: our spaces were bigger and they were more separated, like
Speaker 4: we had a hallway and each of them was almost
Speaker 4: like an office.
Speaker 3: And an extra guy. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: We had even you even your like because when you
Speaker 4: lived in our living room, but our living room in
Speaker 4: that place with.
Speaker 1: An amazing apartment like layout.
Speaker 4: Wise, I would have I would have stayed in the
Speaker 4: apartment were it not for like a couple of like
Speaker 4: there were a couple of things like roaches, roaches, it
Speaker 4: just kind of kills everything, right, the kids bashing in
Speaker 4: our window, But that.
Speaker 1: Wasn't That's when I was in Mexico. Are you serious?
Speaker 1: You in Mexico for that, dude. I was so fucking pitch.
Speaker 2: That's when I left the potatoes by mistake, and the
Speaker 2: potatoes had the flies come to the house, remember, and
Speaker 2: you guys found like DIDs the potato.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: I would say, It's like, why are there so many
Speaker 4: fucking flies in this apartment?
Speaker 1: Makes no sense? We're not this dirty.
Speaker 4: And then like in the back of this cupboard, is
Speaker 4: this potato that looked like something out of a fucking
Speaker 4: Cthulhu thing nuts. Yeah I didn't, Yeah, I didn't know
Speaker 4: they sprouted like that until that moment.
Speaker 1: Gusting. How they fucking I thought, what makes it grossed? Potatoes?
Speaker 2: They do that in like regular places, like most things
Speaker 2: start growing that when you plant them.
Speaker 1: Potatoes, just do it. Yeah, you're just supposed to eat them,
Speaker 1: you know, they start doing for they start torturing your world.
Speaker 1: Man to that place.
Speaker 3: But yeah, this so our other roommate at the time,
Speaker 3: Joe would just dump his protein powder into the sink,
Speaker 3: which is basically like putting concrete in the.
Speaker 1: Sink quite literally.
Speaker 2: This is the protein he fucking adjusting at that time
Speaker 2: because at that time he was like way because seeing
Speaker 2: Joe Knappez before.
Speaker 1: Joe was huge before compared to what that's a good point.
Speaker 1: He was a wall before compared to himself.
Speaker 4: Now he was he was bulking up for something and
Speaker 4: to carry all those boxes of jerky to our apartment.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I love Joe like a brother.
Speaker 2: He is he is someone that like I I will
Speaker 2: always see him as a close friend of mine.
Speaker 1: He will be at my wedding and hopefully at my funeral.
Speaker 1: But Joe is such a character that like it's he's
Speaker 1: so not like anyone else ever met in my life,
Speaker 1: which also makes him great at the same time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but a pool of h I was. I was so
Speaker 1: mad because we were like, hey, what's going on. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was because he went down and you were checking
Speaker 1: it out. It's probably gonna make it worse, but we're like, hey,
Speaker 1: what's going on. I was like, hey, why is this
Speaker 1: think making those sounds? Why is the sink under the
Speaker 1: sink wet? And do you see this? And we were like, hey,
Speaker 1: I wonder it pops the main blows up and it's
Speaker 1: just water.
Speaker 2: So at genuinely, at like a not a level maybe
Speaker 2: twelve am. We had to call the maintenance to come
Speaker 2: and fix the fucking sink because it was gushing water.
Speaker 2: We had a pail that was filling up and it
Speaker 2: was filled in a moment.
Speaker 1: In the moments, I think it was there for you.
Speaker 1: I think it was over the wintertime. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: in New York. Probably had to go when I'm gone.
Speaker 1: It's some crazy things get the worst when you're gone.
Speaker 1: As soon as you leave, we try to destroy us.
Speaker 1: You remember when somebody tried to break into the apartment,
Speaker 1: So this is everybody's home.
Speaker 2: So this was This was right after Smash Ultimate came out.
Speaker 2: It was right after we had everybody over and then
Speaker 2: three hours it was so late, it was so three
Speaker 2: four hours later, we all sitting there hysterical like usual,
Speaker 2: talking about something insane. Then all of a sudden, a
Speaker 2: doorknob starts violently moving. Yeah, and we're just like, oh.
Speaker 1: That's right, you remember, that's right.
Speaker 3: And we were just sitting there and being like everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were looking around like everybody right, one, two,
Speaker 1: because someone's trying to get in real bad, right, okay,
Speaker 1: really to get inside there. They were like, what's going on?
Speaker 1: That was pretty great? You remember what the doorknob broken?
Speaker 1: We were stuck stuck in the apartment. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have that. I recorded that too.
Speaker 4: There were certain things that I was like, I should
Speaker 4: I should confirm this because it's so crazy. You remember
Speaker 4: that one Christmas that we spent when it was just
Speaker 4: you and me and we hung. I didn't buy any
Speaker 4: food because we were just like we're stupid.
Speaker 1: Right, we didn't We forgot everything closes, right, so yeah,
Speaker 1: order food. We couldn't like pick up food. That's when
Speaker 1: I was in New York.
Speaker 4: Right, everybody was gone and it was just me and
Speaker 4: him and we were just watching this guy smoke brisket.
Speaker 1: Oh, like, oh my god, I remember doing that watching
Speaker 1: people He like no cook barbecue.
Speaker 3: It was like, it's like vicariously living throughout viees.
Speaker 1: We don't have a delicious you could taste it, You
Speaker 1: were like yeah. After that, we just kept watching those.
Speaker 1: We continued watching people food. It was something we developed
Speaker 1: over Christmas while starving. So Jesus Christ. It makes you think, like, yo,
Speaker 1: I think we might have been like down bad for
Speaker 1: really we didn't need to be. We didn't need it
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 4: But we all had like reasonable incomes. It was from
Speaker 4: the past and we lived together. We were saving a
Speaker 4: lot of money. It made no sense that we were
Speaker 4: living in that.
Speaker 1: We couldn't let it go, like we were too used
Speaker 1: to be poor.
Speaker 2: So we were like, I feel like I didn't start
Speaker 2: having a decent income, well relative decent income, until like
Speaker 2: maybe right before we left. What do you mean, because
Speaker 2: COVID is when I quit my job at starbucksh.
Speaker 4: So you mean right around the time you did the
Speaker 4: thing that I kept telling you to do for years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that thing, the thing you're telling me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're welcome telling me. Yeah, we started the podcast then.
Speaker 3: I'm still I just can't believe it took you so long.
Speaker 1: It's like, I was like, you should start. I was like, nah,
Speaker 1: you're fucking gay.
Speaker 4: Every time they're like, no, I've got to go into Starbucks.
Speaker 1: I regret that so much. I regret it so much
Speaker 1: now looking at it. But like I just insane, Like,
Speaker 1: did you have like loyalty to Starbucks or something so
Speaker 1: weird that it was? It was even free coffee. It was, yeah,
Speaker 1: he doesn't even like that thing that. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I don't even like you. I would you do you
Speaker 1: want this? Oh my god? That was great. It was
Speaker 1: just the idea of like stuck, the stuck in the
Speaker 1: hole mentality. I was like, I'm going to school and
Speaker 1: I work at Starbucks and that is my life right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm just like, dude, that was so fucking dumb.
Speaker 2: I could have just not lived such a painful existence.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, like that. It is what it is.
Speaker 4: You learn, you live and you learn sometimes kids arguing
Speaker 4: over Fortnite skins, break break your living room with a
Speaker 4: chair because our apartments shared. Our apartment's windows in that
Speaker 4: second one shared space with the pool house, so people
Speaker 4: could like swim and we'd see him, and it was
Speaker 4: kind of it was kind of weird.
Speaker 1: There was like not a lot of privacy.
Speaker 2: It was worse for Jalen where your room the web
Speaker 2: became my room because it's right like it's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: that doors.
Speaker 1: It is right there. But he at least has a gate,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Like people people could go right up to my window,
Speaker 4: you know, and just like I think some people knew
Speaker 4: who I was to which is like kind of annoying. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because I think they saw like the you know you
Speaker 4: you could you couldn't help, but see sometimes like oh
Speaker 4: there's like production equipment in there.
Speaker 1: If you wanted to let in any sun, you were
Speaker 1: completely visible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was, there was no hiding you guys.
Speaker 1: Remember like Joe bringing a child into that apartment, This
Speaker 1: is not a place for that set me off crazy.
Speaker 3: I didn't know I could get that angry.
Speaker 2: I I'm not a temperamental person. I'm not temperamental. I
Speaker 2: am really not, I really try to stay calm. I
Speaker 2: don't lose my cool because.
Speaker 1: Except for what, people flood your living area.
Speaker 2: And I was like, that's not insidious, you know, like
Speaker 2: this that's is Joe being dumb, right, and like it's whatever, dude,
Speaker 2: I have another story is insane. But I was like,
Speaker 2: all right, cool, you're just hanging out. And I was like,
Speaker 2: who's this white child?
Speaker 1: Who is just what? I walked into the house after work.
Speaker 1: I stunk of coffee and anger, yeah, and I was like,
Speaker 1: who's this small white child that's unattended? I was unattended
Speaker 1: because they weren't. They were they like backing or something
Speaker 1: like the kid unattended? Nothing but sharp corners, dude. You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: our apartment was not child proven all because we don't
Speaker 1: have many probably just left.
Speaker 4: We absolutely did because I hid them fucking everywhere because
Speaker 4: I was always like, if I get dots or something
Speaker 4: and people show up.
Speaker 1: You were so panicked about being killed at that period
Speaker 1: of time are you doing? Who are you making enemies
Speaker 1: with all sorts of people for no reason? You remember
Speaker 1: these days, Joe had tons of weapons in his room.
Speaker 1: You unless nun chucks them all the times had real
Speaker 1: numb chucks you ever felt though people those were the
Speaker 1: way of real nun Chucks is crazy.
Speaker 3: I think I tacked you with the months for a video.
Speaker 1: I think I don't remember anything. Probably got you. Probably
Speaker 1: did a good job. I forgot. Apparently you could like
Speaker 1: crack a pig skull with a para. I guess the
Speaker 1: pigs have big skulls. Here's the video, man, it was
Speaker 1: the video just on Google page in the pigs. Do
Speaker 1: you remember? Do you remember my final one want to
Speaker 1: bring up? Do you remember when we were all just
Speaker 1: in the living room and then Joe mistakenly put this.
Speaker 2: Is not all rags on Joe. We've all done extremely
Speaker 2: stupid fucking things in that apartment. Right, it's not an
Speaker 2: all rag on Joe. But Joe's not here to defend himself,
Speaker 2: so we're doing it, he keeps.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna pick
Speaker 1: on him. We're gonna have him on eventually too. Probably
Speaker 1: we're gonna pick on Joe. This moment, there was a
Speaker 1: moment that Joe had a we had like a glass
Speaker 1: like like broiling pan, Oh my god, that we just
Speaker 1: have that we would heat things up with. There was
Speaker 1: one time, Joe was Joe was heating up something in
Speaker 1: the front stove and I think Jalen was gonna bake
Speaker 1: chicken or something like that. So Joe left the stove
Speaker 1: on and Jalen said, I'm gonna put this here. I'm
Speaker 1: gona let the stove heat up, and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden it shattered, and me and Jalen to the floor
Speaker 1: because we were like, what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 1: Windows again, like what's going on? Because our windows were
Speaker 1: facing the inside courtyard and sprang us down them there
Speaker 1: and then Chris was just standing there like in the
Speaker 1: fucking hallway area, just waiting for whatever that happened. Happened,
Speaker 1: and I was just like, exploded, we can try someone
Speaker 1: tried to kill us. I guess I'm gonna stand still. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But Joe was like, oh what happened? Oh, the stove
Speaker 1: was on. I was like, Joe, right, because the fire
Speaker 1: was running, but there was a glass tray there was.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a fire. It was one of the electric ones.
Speaker 2: It was an electric one, because I think it was fire,
Speaker 2: you would have seen it. At least our silver at
Speaker 2: that time was electric. So it just fucking that was
Speaker 2: about that apartment too.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. I don't know if I have
Speaker 1: leg I think.
Speaker 4: The electric stuff that we had there wasn't very good.
Speaker 4: And then the diswasher that was like just kept pouring roaches.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that wasssher is the same apartment. Yeah, that
Speaker 4: second apartment where this all happened was the one where
Speaker 4: Joe came back with that gray chicken.
Speaker 1: Do you remember what he looked like? We convince him
Speaker 1: not to eat completely rotten chicken. It looked like it
Speaker 1: was great. It looked like bad sneak. We thought he
Speaker 1: already cooked it, That's how bad it looked. No, I'm
Speaker 1: about to, and we said, please, you'll die. I think
Speaker 1: he said to go to He said something like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got it for free or something. We always getting free.
Speaker 2: He did like he did like like catering or something.
Speaker 2: That's was you guys who did it too, right car,

Speaker 2: Literally had jobs in the teens before we were out
Speaker 2: of our teens.
Speaker 1: I had one job.
Speaker 2: We were still ten years old. Because I met you
Speaker 2: guys that I was seventeen.
Speaker 1: I think I was.
Speaker 2: No, I was eighteen. I just started eighteen. I was
Speaker 2: just starting to go to college. And I met you guys,
Speaker 2: and I was like, how many jobs have you had?
Speaker 2: And you were like, I worked at McDonald's. I worked
Speaker 2: at like fucking bread.
Speaker 3: And it was like Panera, ba, that's right.
Speaker 1: I was like, how many places of you work? I
Speaker 1: was like maybe eleven? And I was like, have you
Speaker 1: guys work? I worked at a health center. I walked
Speaker 1: through a swamp with Elliott to go and apply and
Speaker 1: interview for a job at McDonald's and got it. You
Speaker 1: walked through a swamp, a swamp why, I was covered
Speaker 1: in mud for the interview.
Speaker 4: My god, this that reminds me my friend Rob, when
Speaker 4: we like before like fucking regents exams. We got to
Speaker 4: school early and then we walked like you do you
Speaker 4: remember you.
Speaker 1: Do that with Elliott, because Elliott did exactly what you're
Speaker 1: describing with wet socks. He walked through her muddy swamps.
Speaker 1: It might have been Elliot.
Speaker 4: I don't remember exactly who it was, but like we
Speaker 4: walked behind so across the street from our school was
Speaker 4: just like a little plaza. It had like a place
Speaker 4: called the Deli Button that was really nice.
Speaker 1: I remember that.
Speaker 3: It was nice compared I love that place.
Speaker 4: And then behind there there was like a road that
Speaker 4: took you to like kind of like a creek or something,
Speaker 4: and you know, you just go over there and like
Speaker 4: walk around.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 4: Before we got to school early, we were waiting like
Speaker 4: thirty minutes an hour before the exam's final exams started,
Speaker 4: and so we just wandered and he walked.
Speaker 3: Into the creek and fell in and then did the
Speaker 3: rest of the walked into the exam soaked and dirty.
Speaker 1: It was so bad because he was he sat so
Speaker 1: close to me because we did the examine the gym
Speaker 1: because it was everybody from like everywhere, so it was
Speaker 1: like a big room. I did mydi exams there.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think you're probably right, Yeah, exams there because
Speaker 2: I was I didn't I didn't go to school in
Speaker 2: the district, was outside because I lived outside district initially.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So I did the Redis.
Speaker 2: Exam and I did my last ones when I was
Speaker 2: going to graduating high school. Did him there, but I
Speaker 2: did my first ones and and.
Speaker 1: What was Wappinger's called, I don't remember it was what
Speaker 1: it was ketchum. Yeah, I went to one of their problems. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just there doing it, and I was that.
Speaker 1: I hate Fishkill School. I hate that place so much.
Speaker 1: Not great, but I want to go back. Dude.
Speaker 4: I thought I was safe because like it was alphabetically
Speaker 4: done right, you would sit alphabetically and his his his
Speaker 4: last name was A and mine was and I thought
Speaker 4: we'd be far far enough away from each other.
Speaker 3: But like it it just wrapped around and we were
Speaker 3: so close and it's.
Speaker 1: Ripping focus about your cold and dirty and you're definitely
Speaker 1: getting sick. It was aggressively. It was so fucking funny. Man,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. But that's way back, that's like way
Speaker 1: that's way before anytime we're talking about insane. I feel
Speaker 1: like our I feel like the last like fourteen years
Speaker 1: of our lives. It has been a really, really insanely
Speaker 1: written comedy show. Oh yeah, yeah, that gets so much
Speaker 1: me in a different way every year.
Speaker 4: The fact that so much of it is missing too,
Speaker 4: Like there's so much that I also don't.
Speaker 1: Jumped out of a car when we were moving in,
Speaker 1: like you have to get your order. When we were
Speaker 1: moving into the Bourbank. When we were moving into shirt.
Speaker 4: It was one hundred and sixteen degrees or something on
Speaker 4: the day that we were moving I remember, I remember
Speaker 4: it was October one, twenty seventeen. I remember this like
Speaker 4: fucking nobody's business. It was one hundred and sixteen degrees.
Speaker 4: The mountains to where we were moving were on fire.
Speaker 4: You could see the fire was raining ash and we
Speaker 4: were moving all of our stuff into this new building,
Speaker 4: and so we just like we were just trying to survive.
Speaker 4: I took my shirt off. I think most of us
Speaker 4: were shirtless. It was just like how we were gonna
Speaker 4: die otherwise. And I remember because the apartment that we
Speaker 4: moved into had no internet, Like the fuck we didn't
Speaker 4: have the internet set up and the signal was bad,
Speaker 4: and so I was like trying so hard to order food.
Speaker 3: I hadn't eaten all day. I was hungry.
Speaker 4: We were moving all the shit into like in crazy
Speaker 4: Mars level heat, and it just wasn't going through. So
Speaker 4: I gave up and we were moving. And then like
Speaker 4: as we were driving back to the old place to
Speaker 4: grab the last remaining things, right, we stopped off at
Speaker 4: a light. I get a notification from Postmates or uber
Speaker 4: eats or whatever. Your food has arrived. And it arrived
Speaker 4: to the place that we just left. And I turned
Speaker 4: to Jane and I was like, I gotta go. And
Speaker 4: we were like at an intersection, and so I left.
Speaker 1: I just I left the truck at the intersection and
Speaker 1: ran back to the building. And you just drove it
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. I like, outside perspective, did
Speaker 1: a man burst from a UUL truck with no shirt
Speaker 1: running running away from you? You know what?
Speaker 4: You know what's really sad about it was like by
Speaker 4: the time I got to the food, there were flies
Speaker 4: on it and I ate it anyway, I.
Speaker 1: So dire, dude. Remember we moved from that place to
Speaker 1: the next place, and we spent all day carrying stuff
Speaker 1: and then one of our friends she brought like her
Speaker 1: table and it just operated away and it disappeared. I
Speaker 1: don't remember that on our table, and they were like
Speaker 1: loading it in a car and she was like, can
Speaker 1: I load it here? And I was like, Gobby, I
Speaker 1: don't think that table has much time left. I don't
Speaker 1: remember little flimsy and it broke and we were like,
Speaker 1: but we this is gonna break. Like this is like
Speaker 1: the fact that we did that move in such a
Speaker 1: short time too. We definitely heard ourselves. We heard ourselves.
Speaker 4: We were like coughing, like because we moved like four
Speaker 4: people's apartments were the things in like less than twenty
Speaker 4: four hours. This was after you left already. This was
Speaker 4: our after we did the COVID move.
Speaker 1: It was all it was.
Speaker 4: And that was when we found out that we were
Speaker 4: all fucking exposed, right, Yeah, it was our.
Speaker 1: Friend because our friend got our friend's boss got COVID.
Speaker 1: Then they got COVID. They were like, hey, my boss
Speaker 1: has COVID. And then Lily was freaked out and left
Speaker 1: because she was just like, I don't want to kill
Speaker 1: my family buttent and I was.
Speaker 3: Like, we found that out at the end of the
Speaker 3: day or like in the middle.
Speaker 1: Of the day where we were moving. That's horrible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty They got the move was only a couple
Speaker 1: of blocks. Dude. We moved a lot of ship that
Speaker 1: daycause we were like, we just want to we just
Speaker 1: want to get out, right, So we just moved everybody's
Speaker 1: apartment into one apartment. Everything. Oh god, and we were.
Speaker 2: I definitely hurt myself because we were moving like you
Speaker 2: just didn't stop. There was no like pause. We just
Speaker 2: kept like all right, cool, that thing's done. Let's go
Speaker 2: get this that sort of stuff. And it was rough,
Speaker 2: and I remember I all of it done. We were
Speaker 2: all so exhausted and then I was like, oh, I
Speaker 2: forgot my bed stuff. So I walked back up the
Speaker 2: street at like two am, took a shower in that apartment.
Speaker 2: I wrapped myself in like four blankets because I didn't
Speaker 2: bring pants with me to change into.
Speaker 1: You are full homeless, so amazing. I literally had to
Speaker 1: put the same underwear back on and then wrapped blankets
Speaker 1: around my legs.
Speaker 3: That's such a defeating moment.
Speaker 1: Walk back down, I looked like a I looked like
Speaker 1: a fucking scp walking down And I walked apartment and
Speaker 1: you were like, what are you doing? And I was like,
Speaker 1: I had the shower. I felt gross and I just
Speaker 1: walked in my room and close. Right, that's that's the
Speaker 1: only response to get just say anything. That was such
Speaker 1: a crazy night because everybody thought the world was ending. Yeah, insane. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The fact that COVID was five years ago, it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like how long it's insane. Yeah, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: lost so much time that it was a time skip.
Speaker 3: It was two years of just nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two old years old. I was just nothing, the
Speaker 2: end of our twenties stolen from usel.
Speaker 1: I just started saying freaking and started traveling though I
Speaker 1: was traveling during COVID, and I was like, traveling makes sense.
Speaker 1: And it was great because it was incredibly treaated, great parties.
Speaker 1: People were cool. Yeah, and I didn't get sick. I
Speaker 1: didn't get sick until I got back to my office
Speaker 1: and then, like, you know what I'm convinced of.
Speaker 4: I'm convinced that before you even left, we all got COVID.
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I'm convinced that December, all of us,
Speaker 1: because maybe I don't know, we've Gabby got sick first,
Speaker 1: and then she was staying with us for some reason.
Speaker 1: I remember why, No, no, she wasn't.
Speaker 4: She stayed with us during COVID because proper she's lived
Speaker 4: with us for that because she was there when everything happened.
Speaker 4: She was there when the curfew appen.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I remember the curfew. I was the
Speaker 1: thing I forgot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got that fucking message and we're like, hey, stay,
Speaker 4: stay where you are, and I was like, Yo, this
Speaker 4: ship's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 2: We were like, hey, you're not gonna go back to
Speaker 2: your apartment. You're just gonna stay with us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then she was there for months because we
Speaker 3: were the.
Speaker 1: Fucking the world paused. Yeah, so I remember that happened.
Speaker 1: But I remember.
Speaker 2: We all got sick. We all got really weirdly sick.
Speaker 2: It was me, Chris and Gaddy got really weirdly sick.
Speaker 2: And then we were like all right, I guess. And
Speaker 2: then we started using these fucking halls, the fucking citrus halls. Yeah,
Speaker 2: see wildfire.
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure we didn't get COVID because our
Speaker 1: blood was so vitamin sly. If we caught ourself, light
Speaker 1: would come out. Oh my god.
Speaker 4: And my mom sent me like hundreds of them. That's
Speaker 4: like a care package because she was scared. I was like,
Speaker 4: just worried about it exactly.
Speaker 1: Because your son was across the country during a plague. Understandable.
Speaker 1: I remember my little I remember my honest economy like, hey,
Speaker 1: how's it going over there? I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: world might end. Was it bubonic levels or no? Not
Speaker 1: quite COVID. Yeah, I think it was level. It was bubonic,
Speaker 1: just just Europe. I think I just year it was
Speaker 1: so the I think casually wise, it was way worse
Speaker 1: than bubonic. Playing think so we love the the genuation
Speaker 1: of people from COVID.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but not the plague was crazy.
Speaker 1: I think it was.
Speaker 3: I don't think you can compare it really.
Speaker 1: I think it was about yellow fever? Was that worse
Speaker 1: than the plague? I did that happen? Is that yellow fever? Real?
Speaker 1: Yellow fever was a thing. I think it was. I
Speaker 1: think yeah it was. I think I think it was.
Speaker 1: It was all over it was all over yellow. It
Speaker 1: seems like this, what what do you think? I thought
Speaker 1: yellow fever was like a racist term for like liking Asians.
Speaker 2: No, no, that is no, that is true. The more
Speaker 2: famous one is jungle fever. Though yellow fever is real.
Speaker 1: So crazy real. There were signs that were actually harder
Speaker 1: to tell, yell fever and black people because our skin,
Speaker 1: our skin because one of the signs was like you
Speaker 1: would be tinted yellow. Oh that's crazy yellow tin.
Speaker 2: But a lot of may have yellow color to their
Speaker 2: eyes because of the natures we worked.
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: No more?
Speaker 4: Man, like do they will send me these facts about
Speaker 4: the Sun every now and again, and then I'll just
Speaker 4: I'll be like, sure, why not?
Speaker 2: You know, how do you want to know about the Sun?
Speaker 2: I feel like that should. I feel like cosmic stuff
Speaker 2: is just like I don't care.
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, yes, yeah, don't don't care about the
Speaker 1: cosmic stuff because if it happens, it's like a you know,
Speaker 1: it's relevant. Yeah, it's just like it happens whatever, you know.
Speaker 1: But it was so interesting because things were getting crazy
Speaker 1: for a while and we're still in solar maximum twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. The fact that he knows that solar maximum
Speaker 1: part of the Sun's eleven year solar cycle. So we
Speaker 1: were getting all the crazy auroras, all the uh crazy,
Speaker 1: the ll no mass ejections.
Speaker 3: And you kept freaking me out.
Speaker 1: Man, You're saying me scary about going to kill your mom. Dude.
Speaker 1: I was like corectly your mom's name in it, like like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it is gonna up there. If they were
Speaker 1: facing Earth in the right way. It was like, hey,
Speaker 1: we can get that nice shut down we've been waiting
Speaker 1: for it really slow slow down, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be really scary for like a month
Speaker 2: of just like in the dark ages, because I don't
Speaker 2: think we'd survive.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to see if we could get that
Speaker 1: Cowboy Bebop satellites raining from the sky type of vibe.
Speaker 1: You know. I feel like I feel like that starlink
Speaker 1: were coming down like crazy. I feel like that'd be
Speaker 1: really cool to see, not experience. You know. Well, as
Speaker 1: long as nobody's to blame for that, nobody's to blame.
Speaker 1: But that's why it was kind of it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, just part of life now.
Speaker 4: It was like nice if something went wrong, that was
Speaker 4: just not the fault of anyone, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. It's something that we're all
Speaker 1: we all have to deal with together. Yeah, but unifying,
Speaker 1: I don't think devastation. Do you remember how like after
Speaker 1: World War One, we could have like tied the Treaty
Speaker 1: of Ra signed. We just didn't know, but that's different
Speaker 1: we chose to. Like still, just remember how during COVID
Speaker 1: where it just a thing happened. Instead of everybody being like,
Speaker 1: let's be respectful to this thing, they were like, this
Speaker 1: is fake.
Speaker 3: No, no, I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 4: But I think what he's saying is like if it's
Speaker 4: not even necessarily about whether or not people would treat
Speaker 4: it as such, it's more about like we would all
Speaker 4: know intrinsically that, like this is not malice like so
Speaker 4: much else is.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not like fucking you know, I don't
Speaker 3: know Israel.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, the sun did a thing that you can't control.
Speaker 4: Like the Sun's not biased, right, It's like we all
Speaker 4: have to deal with like an earthquakes when happens whenever,
Speaker 4: whenever that I feel there's actually a volcano out in
Speaker 4: the ocean that's like the one US underwater and it's
Speaker 4: it's getting very active.
Speaker 1: If it blows, it could really do a bit of
Speaker 1: a tsunami. Yeah, well more than a tsunami. You know,
Speaker 1: the whole west westward would be fucking underwater. Well we
Speaker 1: would be when we would be fucked over. But like
Speaker 1: Portland area, like the proper coast is gone, it's just
Speaker 1: shrinks in. We would just be fucked over because you know,
Speaker 1: we have a lot of intense flooding and Callie's not
Speaker 1: built for flooding. It would be much I'm sure I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be here though. Yeah, like if if that thing
Speaker 1: blows up, like uh probably, I don't know. My luck
Speaker 1: would probably have me in like the East Coast.
Speaker 2: I think when that happens, the moment activity happens, you
Speaker 2: just have to leave because what happens, I've realized is
Speaker 2: that people traffic no no, no, people don't leave immediately.
Speaker 2: You know, people don't leave immediately. That's the problem.
Speaker 3: A lot of real dude just be' like we'll be fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happens is when that happens, it's unfortunately your
Speaker 2: property is gone, you know because it sucks for me,
Speaker 2: particularly because Lily's family owns that property. Like actually yea,
Speaker 2: like everybody has apartment. I remember, even an apartment is fine.
Speaker 4: I remember when these fires are going on, the most
Speaker 4: recent fires because when we were like I looked at
Speaker 4: my like, was it what's that app.
Speaker 3: That everybody was downloading? Watch something?
Speaker 1: Yeah? To steal your data. Yeah whatever. Yeah, another fucking
Speaker 1: mapping app, the Pokemon goat there Chinese app crowd mapping
Speaker 1: for America. It's like, that is so not okay. Honestly,
Speaker 1: clearly it was. Clearly it was the whole time.
Speaker 4: But I head take it, like, honestly, what the fuck
Speaker 4: do I you know, it's it's I was never on
Speaker 4: the under the illusion that there was any kind of
Speaker 4: privacy ever, you know what I mean. I think I
Speaker 4: think a lot of people are like, oh, there are
Speaker 4: privacy's gone, Like, brother, your privacy has been gone for
Speaker 4: fucking everything.
Speaker 1: The fact that you even have a phone with your
Speaker 1: right and that was that was never even my gripe.
Speaker 1: My gripe is we're getting our data taken and it's
Speaker 1: getting sold for money. It's worth something, and we're not
Speaker 1: getting paid for that's and that's my whole thing. It's
Speaker 1: just like, at least my data for free.
Speaker 3: He's give me royal and.
Speaker 1: You're selling it so it's worth something, but I'm not
Speaker 1: getting any royalties. I don't get a piece of my
Speaker 1: own pie.
Speaker 2: That's literally money you're working for them to have that.
Speaker 2: You have no sub right. So it's like if you're
Speaker 2: going to take my data. At least pay me exactly.
Speaker 1: A lot of people just do it for free though,
Speaker 1: so yeah, why would you do that? What would the
Speaker 1: pay you when you don't have to? Wells, because we
Speaker 1: all don't say anything. At the same time, we're never
Speaker 1: gonna saying they've they've made a very good job at
Speaker 1: us being like, hey, this is a problem. You know
Speaker 1: what's a bigger problem. It's a bigger problem in television shows.
Speaker 1: And it's like crazy, we're doomed.
Speaker 4: That ship always really did bother me, man, Just like
Speaker 4: the focusing on such stupid ship when there's so much
Speaker 4: it's always been I know, but like especially I just
Speaker 4: I just I had more faith. I guess that like
Speaker 4: as time would go on, we would be smarter, and
Speaker 4: that it's not been paid, you know. If anything, I
Speaker 4: think things are like really stupid now. I actually think
Speaker 4: like people don't know how to read anymore. Like it's
Speaker 4: getting scary. Well, that's the thing we're we're in a society.
Speaker 4: If people don't realize that we're just cleverly barbaric.
Speaker 1: Were we Marbarism has never left. It's never the man
Speaker 1: at all. Still just as barbarics just a little.
Speaker 3: We just we're just not did we do it with
Speaker 3: like a GoPro on a drone?
Speaker 1: Now we're not socially barbaric anymore.
Speaker 2: We had a long period of time of being socially barbaric,
Speaker 2: like in the societal fashion, and now we're just barbaric
Speaker 2: in the.
Speaker 1: Way we live by ignoring ship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's passive barbarous.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like and granted, like you know, you
Speaker 2: can only affect the world in such a such a
Speaker 2: finite way. But like we have smartphones. The nature of
Speaker 2: how smartphones are created is inherently extraordinarily, extraordinarily barbaric.
Speaker 1: It's unfair. The fact the fact that there are Second
Speaker 1: World countries. He didn't know you know about the children,
Speaker 1: the mines. You know, it's clarify. I did child I
Speaker 1: don't you know about Charlie, but not child minery. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's like it makes sense I would do it. Wait,
Speaker 1: we're in the minds.
Speaker 2: Would you sold your small childhood of mind? If they
Speaker 2: were if they were more adept for being because they're young.
Speaker 1: They had a good work effect.
Speaker 2: Their lungs are gonna heal back faster than my lungs
Speaker 2: would heel back. They're smaller that they'll be capable of adapting.
Speaker 2: Is much better than me as a thirty one year old.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like why you send kids to war exactly,
Speaker 1: Like they're not gonna sho a little. They're not gonna
Speaker 1: send me a thirty one year old with a minus
Speaker 1: ten prescription onto the battlefield exactly.
Speaker 3: They're gonna send to eleven year old Tony.
Speaker 1: Well, no, they weren't even yet.
Speaker 3: He's Anthony right now, but like he can't change his name.
Speaker 1: He'll be Tony Tony twenty one. Yeah, there goes infantry Tony.
Speaker 1: He says, a bunch of guns on him. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a dire situation. It's really it's really gross. Everything's gross,
Speaker 1: everything's insane. I feel like I didn't really think about
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff. Found a way to force
Speaker 1: me into being an infantry person. I would at least
Speaker 1: ask to be a demolition expert. Oh, like you'd be
Speaker 1: like a heavy Yeah, yeah, that'd be my class. I'd
Speaker 1: be recind am the RPG. I'd class shots, I would
Speaker 1: I would be I would be absolutely medic because I
Speaker 1: feel like most of the time I don't have to.
Speaker 1: When it gets there, it's like Look, what do you
Speaker 1: mean you're gonna be working with the people belonging to bits?
Speaker 1: I know, but like how he would expect me to
Speaker 1: fix that? I'm a devil if I'm not going to
Speaker 1: get it right every time. Bring you know, if you
Speaker 1: if you bring me a human being as like a
Speaker 1: lego set, what do you expect me to do? Expect
Speaker 1: me to do? Use your use your medic class and
Speaker 1: bring him back. I'll use my band aids to reconnect
Speaker 1: this guy. I wouldn't call you a medic, I'd call
Speaker 1: you necromancer. I'd be like, shame him, necromancer. Use use
Speaker 1: your magic to bring him back? A military negro. Answer
Speaker 1: is correct? That is it's genius. Yeah, it's what it is.
Speaker 4: At a certain point, it's like he's going to know
Speaker 4: he's got no limbs left.
Speaker 1: Well bring him back somehow, please. I feel like that
Speaker 1: that's plausible for future information. Education is so siloed, right,
Speaker 1: We're only supposed to have expertise and one dude in
Speaker 1: one area. Yeah, so if my expertise is in demolitions,
Speaker 1: why would I know anything about medics? You know? Just
Speaker 1: be like okay, I feel like that's so we're going
Speaker 1: to be the necromancer put them back together with all
Speaker 1: our future tech. I feel like that's so insane, but
Speaker 1: it's it's it's clearly true because like kids don't watch people,
Speaker 1: people don't people don't watch I imagine it becoming more
Speaker 1: and more true kids education at least here gets more
Speaker 1: and more stifled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be crazy, It really is.
Speaker 4: It is sad to think that, like the education that
Speaker 4: I got is comparatively like a.
Speaker 1: Lot the education that we got, and we got public school,
Speaker 1: which is better school.
Speaker 3: We dude, we we I'm pretty sure we just giggled
Speaker 3: our way through most of the classes that we had together.
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. Had that final exam and then like
Speaker 1: we were laughing, and so the teacher just took our
Speaker 1: exams from us. They're like zeros, both of you. Because
Speaker 1: we started laughing. We're on the opposite size of the room.
Speaker 1: They thought we were communicating or something. No, we're just fools.
Speaker 1: Like he didn't get it. He was just like, well,
Speaker 1: we just like joke a joke to you.
Speaker 4: Imagine us trying to explain the joke to a teacher,
Speaker 4: though it would have been possive.
Speaker 1: We're just like I think we're lying. We're like, there's
Speaker 1: no joke, you.
Speaker 4: Know, mister mister Woods, listen, Uh, I'm looking over at him,
Speaker 4: and because he looked over at me and we know
Speaker 4: that we're not allowed to laugh.
Speaker 1: That is really fun, It's really exactly. But everyone understands
Speaker 1: that didn't matter. I didn't didn't matter. This teacher way
Speaker 1: too little to have his job of pretty much being
Speaker 1: a daycare center for all these stupid ass teenagers. Yeah, hey,
Speaker 1: I didn't choose his life, all right, so he too.
Speaker 4: Is that the tech that we had at that time,
Speaker 4: or this tech that we were starting to have at
Speaker 4: that time, like they could not keep up like that.
Speaker 4: There were definitely teachers who were there that were like
Speaker 4: so old they couldn't get.
Speaker 1: Like with that old ass tech. Well, dude, which relative
Speaker 1: you know? You and I?
Speaker 3: Well, we was seven to eleven was our high school.
Speaker 4: So like we went from having no cell phones at
Speaker 4: all to having like the fucking smartphones, right, yeah, and
Speaker 4: so like we could just google the answer. I remember
Speaker 4: googling the answer straight up to like a couple of
Speaker 4: our tests that we got.
Speaker 2: I didn't have a smartphone until I finished high school.
Speaker 2: Like I didn't have like a proper I had like
Speaker 2: a fucking.
Speaker 3: I had a droid.
Speaker 1: I wasn't even clever enough to cheat. Really, I was
Speaker 1: just like, I'm just gonna whatever comes of this test
Speaker 1: comes of it. I wasn't a cheater of school enough,
Speaker 1: but I just.
Speaker 4: I cheated at the subjects that I knew if I
Speaker 4: failed would effect me over and the ones that I
Speaker 4: knew that I was just simply not good at. Like
Speaker 4: I was there's no chance I'm going to get better
Speaker 4: at this, and like the short amount of time that
Speaker 4: I have that it wouldn't affect me, so like I
Speaker 4: got it.
Speaker 1: It's so obviously the truth, especially like academics in like
Speaker 1: high school, you can learn them during it. It's not
Speaker 1: I'm not a math Chris, Chris, I'm telling you right
Speaker 1: now if I learned, dude. My last year of college,
Speaker 1: I had so my math credit to wore out, so
Speaker 1: I had to do a composite math class from algebra
Speaker 1: to COLP two the worst classmates in my life.
Speaker 3: Sounds really horrible.
Speaker 1: It was terrible, But I can do math right now
Speaker 1: because of how bad I was experiencing it. You don't understand,
Speaker 1: Lily was like Kingston, why are you doing it? Was
Speaker 1: college was my last year. He was Kingston, why are
Speaker 1: you doing this? High school was crazy? And I was
Speaker 1: just like, I think high school was. I think the
Speaker 1: way high school's bild is so fucking wrong. Joe almost
Speaker 1: blew up our high school. I know we're not with
Speaker 1: the wood stuff, with the wood stuff at the thing.
Speaker 1: He told me that story. It's insane. What are you saying?
Speaker 1: So they decided that we were all responsible enough to
Speaker 1: handle a welding class, including like oxygen and selling tanks
Speaker 1: and all this good stuff. However, school were teacher who
Speaker 1: was a really nice guy, mister Jensen, great teacher. Uh
Speaker 1: he was struck with cancer and.
Speaker 3: So struck is a crazy word.
Speaker 1: That is the best way to say, because no one
Speaker 1: did it on hot. So his cancer came back, he
Speaker 1: had to go out and we got a sub for
Speaker 1: the entire class.
Speaker 3: For that a substitute for a well teacher class. And
Speaker 3: it's crazy, absolutely, especially when you know.
Speaker 4: Now what's crazy is that, like you, we're all adults,
Speaker 4: we know or we have been friends or in communication
Speaker 4: with people who are a substitute teacher.
Speaker 1: Exactly, you know. And our substitute teacher was missing a
Speaker 1: few fingers. Of course, things didn't go well for him.
Speaker 1: He wasn't a great one. But so Joe, I spend
Speaker 1: that class anytime I had class with my friends. It
Speaker 1: was a blast. It was hilarious.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was a vacation effectively. And Joe would very nice guy,
Speaker 1: but when he didn't like something, he was like completely
Speaker 1: up against it. So he butted heads with this teacher
Speaker 1: and teacher would kick him out all the time. Or
Speaker 1: I would get Joe into a lot of trouble. And
Speaker 1: I'd get Joe into a lot of trouble a lot,
Speaker 1: especially like the teacher would be like yelling, guy like
Speaker 1: haven't say after class. Yeah, Then I'd stay out in
Speaker 1: the hallway and I'd be screeping in the hallway and
Speaker 1: Joe would start laughing while somebody's yelling at it. Get
Speaker 1: into way more trouble, dude. Joe never learned anything in
Speaker 1: the class, Like I use the materials properly. So one
Speaker 1: day we're outside, we're welding, right, and I'm welding paying
Speaker 1: attention to my thing, so I'm right, and then I
Speaker 1: hear this thing happened that they warned us about. They're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you've got to turn on the tanks in a certain
Speaker 1: in a certain sequence, otherwise the flame will shoot back
Speaker 1: up into the tank and explode. And like this was
Speaker 1: something that everybody in the class knew except for Joe.
Speaker 1: Was like the procedure for how you doing all those things.
Speaker 1: And then so one day we're all welding and the
Speaker 1: Joe starts turning the knobs all in the wrong ways
Speaker 1: and starts squealing, and there's a little bubble traveling in
Speaker 1: a too in the tube. You can see the bulge
Speaker 1: of the bulge coming back, and you hear it. It's
Speaker 1: a loud, high pitch like squealing noise coming from the
Speaker 1: tank because it's it's going back the wrong way. And
Speaker 1: I'm screaming at Joe, turn all the knobs to the right.
Speaker 1: I'm like, turn it to the right, turn into the right.
Speaker 1: He's doing the opposite of what I'm telling him, and
Speaker 1: it's getting louder and worse, and I'm like, yo, we're
Speaker 1: gonna die. I can't even run away fast enough. We
Speaker 1: got all these tanks here, they're all gonna go off
Speaker 1: for sure. And Joe's doing it all right. The garage
Speaker 1: doors open, and one of our friends, who Aaron, was
Speaker 1: out of class, apparently he just left class. He's roaming
Speaker 1: the outside of the school, runs into the garage. He
Speaker 1: should not have been there at all, runs into the garage,
Speaker 1: stops and starts following my instructions and starts turning it
Speaker 1: all the right ways, and stops. This explosion from happened
Speaker 1: happening Joe out of the Aaron shaved everybody. I'm always
Speaker 1: killed everyone in that building, everybody. It was such a
Speaker 1: digger situation. And from one of our random friends to
Speaker 1: happen to skip class that day to just row run
Speaker 1: in and save us.
Speaker 3: This is why you always skip class kids.
Speaker 1: He saved Lens and skip class.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are the two pieces of it.
Speaker 1: And skip class. I skipped class for Halo. That was good.
Speaker 1: Did we uh college?
Speaker 4: Oh that's right, yeah, we went home. We all went
Speaker 4: to college for Halo four too, which is crazy. It
Speaker 4: wasn't even like the one that I liked, but like
Speaker 4: we we we got there in the morning, yeah, and
Speaker 4: they were like, you want to just go home and
Speaker 4: play it?
Speaker 1: So we drove to school. We drove the school and
Speaker 1: then like we like fives or six people said y'all,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this, and we left and
Speaker 1: all got on Halo, so irresponsible. Yeah, it makes no
Speaker 1: sense in college though, like I've, oh my, I've I
Speaker 1: have skipped college for a chance to talk to a
Speaker 1: girl and not even speak to me Like, I'm just
Speaker 1: I fucking it's college. I don't care, Like it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if I'm there or not. I'll just go over
Speaker 1: to lesson. But it's gonna get posted on whatever canvas
Speaker 1: thing is gonna be on anyway, I'll just look at
Speaker 1: it there. Oh my gosh. Going to class in college
Speaker 1: is stupid. Home as it's not stupid if you're like,
Speaker 1: if you need help with their classes, you shall probably go.
Speaker 1: But if you're doing fine, fuck it, dude. No, I
Speaker 1: didn't use a mess I didn't have trouble. I didn't
Speaker 1: have a good time with my teachers. And then I
Speaker 1: figured out the trick was to not listening to teachers,
Speaker 1: and I just read the textbook and it explained everything
Speaker 1: so much better. The craziest solution I could come up with,
Speaker 1: but it helped so much.
Speaker 2: Teachers are useful if you don't understand the thing, but
Speaker 2: if you do understand it, it's fine.
Speaker 1: In whatever. Like mathematics class I was in in college,
Speaker 1: I just read the textbook and it just it solved
Speaker 1: all my.
Speaker 3: Every math teacher I ever had was just terrible compared
Speaker 3: to the textbook.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just gave it.
Speaker 4: I was like, why aren't they just explaining it like
Speaker 4: this for me? I just knew early at that point.
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm just not gonna be a math person.
Speaker 4: I guess because I heard of Marco.
Speaker 1: He read the entire history textbook and then he was
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, they made everything easy for me. And
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, just do that. And I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll read the entire math nextbook, change everything.
Speaker 2: The only time you us necessary for me is when
Speaker 2: I genuinely don't know what the fuck's going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the issue too is that you feel stupid
Speaker 1: asking questions, especially when the teachers don't have any patience whatsoever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't pay nothing I have. I don't have that problem.
Speaker 1: If I'm very confused, I'd be like, hey, guys, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. Please help me.
Speaker 2: Oh if I'm very con like, if I kind of
Speaker 2: grasp it, I'll just go to YouTube and someone YouTube
Speaker 2: will be able to explain it to me.
Speaker 1: You know. But I but if I'm like lost in
Speaker 1: the water. Like, let's say, right now, I got dropped
Speaker 1: into a fucking I don't know a blacksmith in class.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, hey, I don't know where to start.
Speaker 1: Please put me on the path to start.
Speaker 2: But if I kind of get like you drop me
Speaker 2: in like a fucking I don't know, like a fucking
Speaker 2: a fucking physiology class, I'd be like, I understand basic physiologist.
Speaker 1: Read the book. Yeah, fully, I guess I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm getting hungry like something fierce. So we're going to
Speaker 1: feel like, oh god, it's later.
Speaker 4: Yeah it was, yeah, yeah, So we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 4: we're gonna bid farewell.
Speaker 3: But uh, thanks for popping by.
Speaker 4: And if you're listening to this when it's public, patroonic
Speaker 4: concepts of Stark Tank over there, all that stuff, And
Speaker 4: we're not going to do the credits. I'm not doing
Speaker 4: I'm not, I really do. It's gonna take a while.
Speaker 1: The boys continue to talk for an additional fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3: Thanks for doing this. We planned on doing this a
Speaker 3: long time ago, but like things got busy for everybody.
Speaker 1: Basically this the last three months have been insane. It
Speaker 1: was our friend group. It's been like, yeah, we had
Speaker 1: weddings right after one another, and then my birthday. Right, No,
Speaker 1: we had a wedding, birthday, wedding, birthday again, then my
Speaker 1: birthday again. Right. It sucks. I hate I hate springtime
Speaker 1: y so fucking much. I have another wedding next week,
Speaker 1: next week? Really yeah, damn, Yeah, it's gonna be really nice.
Speaker 1: Wait where's it gonna be? That's uh. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I know exactly what.
Speaker 4: I dude, I never know the day of I like
Speaker 4: when I learned when I got invited nicki Nick and
Speaker 4: Jordan's wedding, I was like, okay, cool, didn't look up
Speaker 4: the place, didn't look up where it was.
Speaker 3: On the day that I woke up to get dressed.
Speaker 3: I was like, I should look up where this Yeah,
Speaker 3: I thought it was way closer.
Speaker 1: I just know there's a there's a yacht party the
Speaker 1: next day for the wedding. Well cht party, So that's cool,
Speaker 1: all right? Hell yeah? That wedding was a fucking blast.
Speaker 1: It was so fun. Zicky and Jordan's wedding. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and then Paul's why I didn't think it was gonna
Speaker 1: be a big So I think it was gonna be
Speaker 1: a ceremony, because I spoke to him and it was like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna just say our vows. He was fine, He's like,
Speaker 1: you don't got to come early, like, just just show up.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being there.
Speaker 3: He showed up in a helicopter.
Speaker 1: Yeah I was. And I was like, domingas you told me,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be big every I haven't seen your
Speaker 1: parents in almost twelve years, were gonna be in his wedding.
Speaker 1: I thought it was you know how we orchestrate things
Speaker 1: as our friend, it's never anything like it's never an
Speaker 1: organized event. It's always something smaller. Sure, And I was
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I thought it was more like a party,
Speaker 1: like more of a barbecue. That's what I thought it was.
Speaker 1: It was, it was.
Speaker 4: It was really We had two weddings back to back
Speaker 4: to compare them, and one was clearly a ceremonial and
Speaker 4: one was clearly.
Speaker 2: More of a party. And I was like, all right,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna get there a little late. You know,
Speaker 2: it's not a big deal. I'll show up.
Speaker 1: I show up and he's giving his vows in front

Speaker 4: I would like to say straightedge necessarily because that like
Speaker 4: comes along with stuff. I just kind of I just

Speaker 4: like a principle or anything. We were in an environment.
Speaker 1: Where like all the girls we hung out with drag, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all of the guys did not, and they would get
Speaker 1: slashed and we'd have to deal with the problem that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we would always have to do. I remember that ship
Speaker 1: was really shitty.
Speaker 4: How do you remember at the at the there was
Speaker 4: like a birthday party that we went to. This was
Speaker 4: like during high school, and like all the girls were
Speaker 4: drinking and we just didn't, and so it was just
Speaker 4: like god, and then one of them went fucking missing
Speaker 4: in the woods.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 4: And was one of the times when we were like
Speaker 4: camping out in the Yeah, it was like one of
Speaker 4: the campouts. Yeah, And then we went out into the
Speaker 4: woods looking and then we found her sleeping in the
Speaker 4: back of a car like in the It just in
Speaker 4: the in the driveway and when it.
Speaker 1: Was acting for this girl that was drunk and we
Speaker 1: definitely lost her. And I was like, yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was hours do nothing the whole That was the whole party,
Speaker 1: basically trying into a certain but that was how it
Speaker 1: was due I was.
Speaker 2: I would drink a lot when I was younger for
Speaker 2: probably whatever reason. And by the time I got here,
Speaker 2: I was kind of already off of drinking and smoking. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I remember we'd like we bottom mosky was Moscato,
Speaker 2: I think, or something like that, and we ate the
Speaker 2: worm at the bottom of it.
Speaker 1: And I was hallucinating, like I was so I.
Speaker 3: Ate as worms.
Speaker 1: I was so drunk. I was so drunk that smelled
Speaker 1: like alcohol. It's like bad, Like it was like so
Speaker 1: bad alcohol poison.
Speaker 3: I don't even think I've experienced. I was drinking water.
Speaker 1: I was drinking water, and when it touched my tongue
Speaker 1: it turned into like listerine pretty much like I was
Speaker 1: so beyond drunk your I was sweating and it would
Speaker 1: smell like alcohol. And I was like, I have to
Speaker 1: go home, dude.
Speaker 2: If I don't go home right now and I die,
Speaker 2: my Grandma's gonna fucking kick my ass, right.
Speaker 4: I think I think I might have told the accid story,
Speaker 4: but I don't. I don't know if I remember it right,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Because like from my perspective,
Speaker 4: it was like we we went to a party at
Speaker 4: a at a at this girl friends of ours apartment
Speaker 4: even Oakwood actually, which is like apparently a very famous
Speaker 4: fucking Los Angeles apartment.
Speaker 1: A lot of actors like talking about the out of there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like that weird building in New York where
Speaker 4: like Larry David and like fucking Timothy Shallomey live, Larry David.
Speaker 1: Freaking oh, Charlotte Mane, the guy h Coleman Diego, like
Speaker 1: all of them lived in that place in freaking house kitchen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but all of them lived there.
Speaker 4: But that apartment complex is that apartment complex like out here,
Speaker 4: it's like it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I was like, look at it's like that's where fucking
Speaker 1: our friends live. That's crazy, right, But that's the Absence apartment,
Speaker 1: which is hilarious to think about, right right.
Speaker 4: But I remember it was like some birthday party or something,
Speaker 4: and it was our first time out here. Like I
Speaker 4: remember when I came out here, I just let the
Speaker 4: fuck loose. I was in media is like I'm drinking
Speaker 4: all the time, fucking whatever. I'm twenty one. I don't
Speaker 4: have to think about like how this is going to
Speaker 4: reflect on my family or whatever. That was my worst
Speaker 4: nightmare I think was like being drunk and being picked
Speaker 4: up by my parents. Oh you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: Like that was like, I just didn't want to. I
Speaker 4: wanted to avoid that entirely. So when I got out here,
Speaker 4: it was like, oh, holds barred. Yeah, and I had
Speaker 4: like I had a bottle of jack next to my bed.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were actually drinking for real.
Speaker 3: We went crazy. We were doing we're playing catch up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got that. First couple of months was crazy. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But we went to this party and it was like
Speaker 4: I think somebody's twenty first birthday party or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and everybody was very much of alcohol. We were
Speaker 1: drinking a bunch of it, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: We were drinking a lot of it.
Speaker 4: I remember there was a like a bowl full of
Speaker 4: gummy worms that was soaked in alcohol. You did have
Speaker 4: the gummies too, and I ate like a shit ton
Speaker 4: of That was when I I think I had my
Speaker 4: first joint there too.
Speaker 1: Oh and I did not know how to smoke, so
Speaker 1: I coughed and it was fucking horrible. But coughs. I
Speaker 1: still get them now. I don't smoke anymore. It's hilarious.
Speaker 4: But so what I remember. Tell me how you remember
Speaker 4: this vibe this? Tell me how you remember this absent
Speaker 4: being introduced? Okay, because I don't know if I'm remembering
Speaker 4: this right because it sounds fucking insane.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, you are you gonna say it first?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say it because I've told it before and
Speaker 4: I don't want to color your memory.
Speaker 1: So I don't really know how it was introduced. I
Speaker 1: know that somebody because we were already drunk at this point,
Speaker 1: and then somebody comes with a bottle or something. It's
Speaker 1: just absent, and it's just like, oh, yeah, we're all
Speaker 1: drinking it. And it's like, I don't really know what
Speaker 1: absence is, but I heard it's crazy, it's bad, let's
Speaker 1: drink it. Yeah, and then yeah, and then we had it,
Speaker 1: and then I forgot we had it, and then things
Speaker 1: went so awry after and I didn't think about like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is happening because like everybody's like really messed up.
Speaker 1: That was the That was like I didn't know why
Speaker 1: these events were happening. But it makes sense after knowing that, like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, the tipper was like, well we had absent.
Speaker 4: That was I have never been to a place where
Speaker 4: people were more fucked up yeah than in that apartment
Speaker 4: that day.

Speaker 4: I know people were fucking fighting. I know there was
Speaker 4: like people were scratching. I got scratched the fuck up.
Speaker 1: I got knocked out. At one point, somebody picked up.

Speaker 1: was also like fighting, like people enough to get knocked
Speaker 1: over the head with and put out, you know, dude.

Speaker 4: It's all I can describe it as because it wasn't serious,
Speaker 4: but it wasn't I don't know.
