Ashy Elbros: W/ Brennon Edwards

[00:00:33] Speaker A: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome back to Papa Don't Preach. I got a very, very lovely surprise for everybody. I got Brennan Delanzo Edwards. [00:00:43] Speaker B: Oh, it's not Bennett. I'm not Bennett. [00:00:47] Speaker A: We got a downgrade for you guys. I got a new co host. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is the host of how to Nerd. Yes. In our studio. Joining us here for Papa Don't Preach. How you doing, brother? [00:00:59] Speaker B: Oh, man, I'm good. After that musical intro, it feels like you're trying to seduce me, but other than that, man, I feel absolutely fantastic. I'm sure I'm not the only person who felt that way. [00:01:07] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I'm just trying to ease up the tension after I called you Bennett before we started recording. [00:01:11] Speaker B: Oh, ease up the tension. Literally, your catchphrase towards me is you call me a baby back bitch. Yeah. And you want to ease the tension. That's the goal with music. [00:01:20] Speaker A: Hey, you ghosted me, man. I texted you and you ghosted me. [00:01:23] Speaker B: Am I here? [00:01:23] Speaker A: Yes, you are. Then I ghosted you. But I didn't. [00:01:25] Speaker B: Yeah, you definitely ghosted me. [00:01:27] Speaker A: I didn't see that. You answered too quickly. [00:01:31] Speaker B: So you're saying the black dude got back too quickly? [00:01:33] Speaker A: That was the problem. See, that's an issue. If I text you, because I even looked at the times you text me. The same minute I sent that text at 1042, you texted me back at 1042. I was on the phone, but I texted you and I put my phone down. So it was still up when the notification went off. So it didn't vibrate. It didn't make a sign. [00:01:54] Speaker B: Just take your L. I put it down. I'm like that you gave me shit for ghosting you, so I immediately opposite of ghosted you and then you fucked it up. [00:02:04] Speaker A: Not really, though. We're going to put a poll together. I want to find out, is it worse if you don't return a text for an entire day or if you get back to somebody 4 hours later? [00:02:16] Speaker B: Depends on the timing of what the text is about, I would say exactly. [00:02:20] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:02:21] Speaker B: Context of the text was like, hey, when are you going to be available to do this at some point? [00:02:24] Speaker A: And I called you a ho and something. [00:02:26] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. See, exactly the tension. That was that. And then I was like, here's the day and the time. That works for me. And then you didn't respond and it was the next day. [00:02:34] Speaker A: And you're like, Cool, this is the next day. [00:02:37] Speaker B: And then you're like, Oops, I didn't see it. Well, I think it's worse because the timing was worse, but you can go fuck yourself. [00:02:43] Speaker A: All right, listen, we can go back and forth all day. [00:02:46] Speaker B: Glad I'm here. [00:02:47] Speaker A: I don't know why I asked you here. [00:02:48] Speaker B: Now you say this. This is the second time I've been here. [00:02:50] Speaker A: Yes, it is. [00:02:51] Speaker B: And you literally said that exact phrase last time. [00:02:53] Speaker A: I know. [00:02:53] Speaker B: Shout out to your brother Ike. He's the greatest. [00:02:56] Speaker A: Fuck him. [00:02:56] Speaker B: I fucking love Ike. I love the way he showed up for your podcast. [00:02:59] Speaker A: Showed up? [00:03:00] Speaker B: It made me so happy. [00:03:01] Speaker A: It was like the opposite. We had to go to him. It was the exact opposite of showing up. [00:03:06] Speaker B: I stand by my previous statement. [00:03:07] Speaker A: Fucking season four, going to his house. [00:03:10] Speaker B: It was amazing. He's like, not only do you have to show up here for me, I'm going to talk shit about your producer. Shout out to Blaine. Fuck you. And I'm going to talk shit about you obi, because guess what? You're my brother, and you ain't shit. [00:03:23] Speaker A: I induced his labor. When I left, they had a baby. [00:03:26] Speaker B: Are you serious? [00:03:27] Speaker A: Well, a couple of days later, but I still taking credit for that is. [00:03:29] Speaker B: A real statement to say is, I induced his labor. I don't think I've ever heard those words put together like that before. [00:03:33] Speaker A: Hey, man, I'm a trendsetter. I make things happen. [00:03:36] Speaker B: You can have that trend. [00:03:37] Speaker A: Thank you. So you're away from your other podcast. I want you to tell some of the people listening where you're coming from. Not like Flint, but my mama. No. [00:03:48] Speaker B: So the other podcast is how to nerd. [00:03:50] Speaker A: How to nerd? Yeah. [00:03:51] Speaker B: The idea of that the premise of it is that sometimes there's people who might be interested in getting into being a nerd or think that they might be, or the podcast is really for the people that are on the cusp. [00:04:01] Speaker A: Like nerd adjacent. [00:04:02] Speaker B: Yes. So it's kind of like showing, like, each episode we take on a different nerd subject and say, for example, one episode, it's like how you do Pokemon cards. And just like, people don't I don't know. It's just you collect them and they're pretty. That's how some people believe. [00:04:15] Speaker A: Really? [00:04:16] Speaker B: I played that shit. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, let me actually show you how this game works and why it's actually interesting and why people nerd out on it. It's like, oh, okay. So that's the kind of thing, is how to nerd about whatever subject matter. [00:04:26] Speaker A: What was the other cards? That was before Pokemon? [00:04:30] Speaker B: Magic. Magic. Yeah, I played that before, too. That is not my game, dude. [00:04:34] Speaker A: Magic. I remember my first introduction to magic. I was like, this is not for me, bro. [00:04:40] Speaker B: You got to be a certain type. Those are the guys that the black people who played that game were the ones who didn't know how to take care of their hair. First and foremost, they had a shitty hairline and nappy hair. [00:04:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Yes. [00:04:51] Speaker B: You number two is that they always wore those, like, silk dragon pullover shirts. [00:04:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I know what you're talking about. [00:05:00] Speaker B: Those guys that you like for me, the only thing that intimidates me about those guys is when they sit down next to you to play in a game. [00:05:05] Speaker A: Yeah. If one of those dudes came up to me at an arcade. And it was like, hey, you got a second? I'd be like, I do not. You could actually take my quarters. [00:05:13] Speaker B: Like, literally within the last year that happened to me. Is fun story. [00:05:17] Speaker A: Okay. [00:05:17] Speaker B: I went to Anime Con, right? Anime Expo. Anime Expo. And one of the best experiences I've ever had, period. [00:05:22] Speaker A: Oh, wait, this last one, I thought. [00:05:24] Speaker B: It was like no, not this one. The year before. Okay, so it was like 300,000 people that came across the three days. It was the most people I've ever seen at one thing ever. [00:05:31] Speaker A: Damn. [00:05:31] Speaker B: It was incredible. The cosplay, everything was dope. They had an entire section dedicated just to Super Smash Bros. They literally had like 50 stations for Super Smash Brothers just set up. And so I was there with the co host of the previous podcast. I had anime shun. [00:05:45] Speaker A: Yeah, I remember that. Yeah. [00:05:46] Speaker B: And so on that one. They all know I talk shit about Super Smash brothers. So one of them has a big mouth. He's a comedian. We get there, and as soon as we get there, I sit down and I'm about to play the first guy, he gets up and stands on a table in front of this entire con and starts yelling, hey, anybody who wants it can go get the smoke from this guy right here. He thinks he's the greatest super smash brother ever. Play, come get it. And literally a fucking line formed. [00:06:08] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:06:09] Speaker B: So I'll save what happens with the line, but I will say this. The reason I bring it up is one of the guys who got in that line was a black guy with shitty hairline. Shitty hairline, nappy hair, fucking and he had his silk shirt with like, dragons running down the side of it and flames coming out the bottom with the serrated edges. And I was like, I'm so fucked. No, actually, I beat every single person in that line. [00:06:31] Speaker A: Oh, shit. [00:06:31] Speaker B: I beat every fucking and I have it on camera. Look at you. I beat all their asses. And it's like after that, everybody in my podcast was like, we won't talk. [00:06:38] Speaker A: Shit to you anymore. [00:06:40] Speaker B: No, you won't. I fucking back my shit up. [00:06:41] Speaker A: Yeah, you bit a couple of losers at a con. It's okay. [00:06:44] Speaker B: It was like I was there for 3 hours beating everyone who could come up to me. [00:06:46] Speaker A: That is nice. [00:06:47] Speaker B: With somebody standing on the table behind me yelling that nobody's beating me. Okay, I stand by. I'm pretty fucking good at that game. [00:06:54] Speaker A: I'm good. [00:06:55] Speaker B: I know you care. [00:06:56] Speaker A: I don't really know if there's a game that I'm good at. [00:06:58] Speaker B: I could agree with that. [00:06:59] Speaker A: I don't think there's because I play a bunch of different shit, so I don't think I mean, I was really good at tech and tag back in day. [00:07:05] Speaker B: You don't want that. [00:07:06] Speaker A: I was really good at tekken tag. It was crazy. [00:07:09] Speaker B: That translates to all the Tekkens have very similar controls and mechanics. So it translates to the newest one. [00:07:13] Speaker A: You know what happened? This newest one is I don't like the animation. The flow of the game is not as good as it was back then. [00:07:22] Speaker B: It has a different frame rate. So back in the day we're playing at 23 frames. These games now are at 60. So until you get used to it's different, you know what I'm saying, is different. But as soon as you get into the flow of it, if you played it for a little bit, I think you'd be like, oh, I think I. [00:07:34] Speaker A: Could catch up because I remember I was really good at pairing. That was like one of my then it's just harder now. It is so much harder now. [00:07:40] Speaker B: You have to be a little bit better anticipation. But another thing that came about that is when tech and Tag was out, you were probably, what, 1918, 1920? Somewhere in there. [00:07:48] Speaker A: Somewhere in there, yeah. [00:07:49] Speaker B: That's when you actually have your fastest reaction time of your entire life is at that point. [00:07:53] Speaker A: That's crazy. [00:07:54] Speaker B: You're in your thirty s now, bro. You ain't reacting like that. So you're like it's harder to do this? I'm like, yeah, you're not anticipating shit like you used to. [00:08:00] Speaker A: I remember when I used to pick up video games, I put it on the hardest setting, I'm not going to beat the shit out of this game. And now I'm like too old for this shit. [00:08:07] Speaker B: I'm still like, no harder setting. If I can't do this, I can't do it. [00:08:10] Speaker A: There was a game that I rage quit because it was too hard. Because I started what was it? Ghost of ghost of Shishima There it is. Ghost of Shishima. [00:08:21] Speaker B: Bro, I don't even play that game. And I guess I am the host of how to Nerd. Welcome to the show, guys. [00:08:25] Speaker A: Yeah, pull up. [00:08:26] Speaker B: I'm here for it. [00:08:29] Speaker A: You go ahead and play that game. [00:08:30] Speaker B: I don't even have a PlayStation, bro. And you can't even say the name. [00:08:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I can't, because I haven't played game. [00:08:36] Speaker B: You paid what, $60 for this game. [00:08:38] Speaker A: Do you remember when that game came out? [00:08:39] Speaker B: Four years ago. [00:08:40] Speaker A: Yeah. So I haven't said the name of that game in four fucking years. [00:08:43] Speaker B: Okay, I played it once. What was the name of the game you said? The fighting game earlier? [00:08:47] Speaker A: Tech and tag. [00:08:48] Speaker B: Okay, how long ago would you play that? [00:08:49] Speaker A: It's called tekken tag. [00:08:51] Speaker B: I mean, that's not an English word. That's not an English word. It's not an English word. Two non English words. I'm so sorry. [00:08:59] Speaker A: Well, yeah, but tekken is phonetic. [00:09:03] Speaker B: There's a silent motherfucking tease, brother. There's no tea in that. Yes, there is. Prove it. [00:09:08] Speaker A: Pull that shit up right now. Pull that shit up right now. [00:09:11] Speaker B: There's no tea in Ghost of Shishima. [00:09:12] Speaker A: Yeah, there is. In front of the first fucking because first of all, it's Japanese, motherfucker. What the fuck is that t doing there? [00:09:20] Speaker B: Like, tsunami. [00:09:21] Speaker A: Yeah, there you go. [00:09:22] Speaker B: Which is an English word. [00:09:23] Speaker A: Tsunami is not an English word. It's just a word you say in English. [00:09:26] Speaker B: Type in tsunami and say that it's not an English word. [00:09:28] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Where do you think the word, then? [00:09:30] Speaker B: What's the English word for tsunami? [00:09:32] Speaker A: Big motherfucking wave. [00:09:34] Speaker B: That's not a word. That's a phrase. [00:09:35] Speaker A: I said it. Big motherfucking wave. [00:09:37] Speaker B: Oh, my God. That's why I don't fuck with Africans. [00:09:40] Speaker A: That's the Japanese word, tsunami, meaning harbor wave. [00:09:45] Speaker B: Okay, I'll give you I'll take my L's, though. [00:09:50] Speaker A: Take it from the me, because I've been taking L's my whole life. [00:09:53] Speaker B: Yeah, you do. [00:09:54] Speaker A: Look at my life right now. [00:09:55] Speaker B: Look who's here. Blaine. I don't know how you got dragged into that. [00:09:59] Speaker A: That was mean. [00:10:00] Speaker B: He said, look at my life. [00:10:01] Speaker A: I forgot you were here. Everybody give it up to my producer, Blaine. [00:10:04] Speaker B: Wow. I already shouted him out twice. How'd you forget he was here? I shouted him out on your podcast twice. Blaine, you don't have to do this, bro. [00:10:12] Speaker A: Guys, if you're wondering how the tent, like, the tone of this podcast is going to go, this is it right here. [00:10:17] Speaker B: And whose fault is it? [00:10:18] Speaker A: Obi. It's your fault. [00:10:20] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. Because I'm sure you and your brother's podcast was really amicable and friendly. [00:10:25] Speaker A: I guess I'm the common denominator. [00:10:27] Speaker B: There you go. [00:10:27] Speaker A: I just surround myself with haters. [00:10:29] Speaker B: Or you're worth hating on, maybe. [00:10:31] Speaker A: Who knows? [00:10:32] Speaker B: Way you live your life. [00:10:33] Speaker A: Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to be right back with some more Papa Don't Preach, and we get into it. Oh, we're leaving it in. We're leaving it in. Okay, cool. [00:10:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Fuck you. [00:10:43] Speaker A: Anyway. Your podcast. How to nerd? Who's your host? Your co host? [00:10:48] Speaker B: Roxy Hayes. [00:10:49] Speaker A: Roxy Hayes. Great person. I've met Roxy. She's an amazing person to work with. Now, you used to have another podcast, anime Shun. Yes. Now, did you have a proper end to that podcast? [00:10:58] Speaker B: Yeah, we did a goodbye episode. [00:11:00] Speaker A: Do you miss it? [00:11:01] Speaker B: Not even a little bit. [00:11:01] Speaker A: Was it too hard? [00:11:03] Speaker B: It was five years of every single Monday. [00:11:06] Speaker A: Damn. [00:11:07] Speaker B: Yeah. And so the thing is, for me, I'm a businessman first and foremost, and the podcast was not even breaking even. It's like one of my employees was one of the people that was on the co host that was on it. He was doing work on the clock to be able to prepare for the podcast. We were shooting the podcast on the clock. Then there's me in my time, and for me, I'm just like, It's not worth it. And you couldn't block shoot it because it just didn't make sense to do it that way. And for those who don't know, block shooting means that you shoot, like, four or five however many episodes you can in a day, and then you release one a week. So you have a month worth of content shot in one day. So that's what we're doing. How to nerds. We just block shoot it. So for me, I'm like, doesn't matter. There's no set schedule. Brennan, when can you do this versus, like, every Monday at 04:00. It's like, man, like, I don't want to. I don't want it's been five years. I don't want to anymore. It's not making money. It's not growing. It just became a podcast that just stayed where it was, and it had a good fan base. Shout out to the Animation fan base. The people who rocked with us rocked with us. [00:12:02] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I'm wondering, if there's a hole there, if there's vacuum. But I know there's a bunch of anime podcasts, but every single other podcast. [00:12:08] Speaker B: I get on somebody's in the comments like, yeah, let's bring from animation. Bring it back. Everybody looks at me like I'm the one who killed it. [00:12:13] Speaker A: And it's like, actually, you sound right now like you're the one who killed it. [00:12:16] Speaker B: I'm the one who said I stepped away from the podcast, and I said to the other hosts that we have, you may continue this. This is yours. I gift it to you. I cannot commit to this time anymore. You can still continue to use the studio and produce it. So I didn't say it needed to stop. I just said I'm not doing it anymore, and my company isn't going to pay for it to happen anymore or pay for my employee to do it anymore. So you guys can make the choice what you want to do with this. They said, oh, I guess it's over and stopped. And so for me, I'm like, I made it as easy to stop it as I made it as easy to keep it going. They made the choice to stop it. [00:12:48] Speaker A: Okay, so Jordan didn't kill the Bulls when he left, he was just like, this is your team. [00:12:55] Speaker B: And then Pippen took him to the Eastern Conference finals. [00:12:57] Speaker A: Okay. You know what I'm saying? [00:12:59] Speaker B: Pippen took him right to the Eastern Conference finals. One game, two minutes and five points away from going back to the championship. [00:13:05] Speaker A: Yeah, but it didn't happen. [00:13:07] Speaker B: It didn't happen. But that's I mean, whatever. Maybe I'll come back. [00:13:10] Speaker A: I don't know what they were doing. [00:13:11] Speaker B: Mike Jordan, we're in the fourth five and then play games with you, aim at you, probably maim you. [00:13:18] Speaker A: Jay Z. Yeah. We can't afford that. You can't be doing shit like, didn't. [00:13:22] Speaker B: I did it to the wrong cadence. So we should be fine. [00:13:27] Speaker A: I got to it sucks. [00:13:30] Speaker B: Black album, baby. [00:13:31] Speaker A: Hey. It's like there's some things you just can't say around black people because they're going to finish it. Yeah. If I say at 07:00 on the. [00:13:38] Speaker B: Dot, I may or may not be in a drop top cruising streets. May or may not see, I'm telling. [00:13:45] Speaker A: You, there's some things you can't say, and we talked about this too, which is weird that there's some words that. [00:13:51] Speaker B: What would you have done if I would have failed that? I'd be like, what are you talking. [00:13:53] Speaker A: I would have ended a motherfucking podcast right now. [00:13:56] Speaker B: I actually thought about being like, what do you mean? [00:13:58] Speaker A: We would have ended our friendship. I was like, Bro, you need to go back to fucking Michigan. [00:14:03] Speaker B: That song took over the world. [00:14:05] Speaker A: But yeah, there's some things that where the word takes over. And I was talking to Shannon about this. She can't say surfboard normally anymore. Surfboard? Yeah, because of Beyonce. So she was like, oh, the surfboard. Surfboard just because of the Beyonce song. You're not Beyonce. I don't even know the you're not a Beyonce song. No, it's fine, it's fine. It's fine. [00:14:24] Speaker B: I was a drone pilot for HBO special, though. [00:14:26] Speaker A: Does that mean that okay, so that. [00:14:28] Speaker B: Means I went to two of her concerts back to back. It was impressive. [00:14:31] Speaker A: It was good. [00:14:31] Speaker B: Not a fan, but impressive. [00:14:33] Speaker A: Not a fan. [00:14:33] Speaker B: No, her work ethic insane. [00:14:35] Speaker A: Okay. T swift. Beyonce. [00:14:37] Speaker B: I haven't seen T. Swift, so I can't speak to it. [00:14:40] Speaker A: I've seen her concert, like, streamed. I haven't both of them. [00:14:44] Speaker B: I mean, look, also, BAE cella. I don't think Taylor Swift could do that. [00:14:48] Speaker A: Yeah, you know, I don't think she. [00:14:52] Speaker B: Could do, like, that's, like, rude of Taylor Swift or Beyonce? It's like, well, Beyonce made more money than Taylor Swift on her tour, so that's number one she did. And number two is that Beyonce did Coachella and they changed the name of the entire yeah, it's a well, so. [00:15:08] Speaker A: Here so this is another thing. I don't like that comparison, too, because. [00:15:12] Speaker B: They'Re just very different. [00:15:13] Speaker A: They're very different on two separate sides of the fucking spectrum. You could be a fan of both. [00:15:17] Speaker B: Some people. I'm sure there's a lot of people who probably go to both their concerts. [00:15:20] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, I'm not one of them. [00:15:21] Speaker B: But I could see you at both. [00:15:22] Speaker A: You can see me at both? [00:15:23] Speaker B: Definitely. [00:15:24] Speaker A: All right, shake it off. [00:15:26] Speaker B: Yeah, see, I could see you in there. Like, my boy Donald. My boy Donald went for his wife because she wanted to go, and he was just like not going to lie, it was a good show. It was middle aged black man. Honestly, she put on a show. [00:15:42] Speaker A: Okay. I think that gets lost on the public a lot when it comes to people making music and then what type of performer they are. That gets lost a lot. Because we were talking about Britney Spears earlier. Our producer and I were like, she was a fantastic performer. [00:15:56] Speaker B: Definitely. [00:15:56] Speaker A: Fantastic performance. [00:15:57] Speaker B: And naked pictures on Instagram. [00:15:59] Speaker A: She had a rough life. [00:16:00] Speaker B: No, did you see like literally a few days ago she posted a naked picture on Instagram? It's still up. [00:16:03] Speaker A: Oh, what? [00:16:04] Speaker B: Yeah, go ahead, Blaine. [00:16:05] Speaker A: I thought she was just fucking around with the nines. [00:16:07] Speaker B: No, she's still dancing and shit, but she posted literally just like it's like she's not you see her butt, but she's made so you can't see nipples or anything like that. But she's naked. [00:16:14] Speaker A: I mean, she's topless on her fucking. [00:16:16] Speaker B: Book that she just it doesn't look good, though, that's all I'm trying to say. It's not like you're the that's not it. That's not the one I was talking about. That one's way better. [00:16:26] Speaker A: There's multiple of her. [00:16:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know. [00:16:28] Speaker A: What the fuck is she doing? Free woman britney Spears post. What do you mean, free woman? [00:16:33] Speaker B: That's not the one I was talking about. This one's, the one I'm talking about is extremely recent. [00:16:37] Speaker A: Yeah, we're looking right now at a picture of Britney Spears in knee high socks, full frontal, with little hearts on her, unmentionables. So we actually cannot like just go to her Instagram. Blaine. [00:16:52] Speaker B: Just type in Britney Spears instagram. [00:16:54] Speaker A: But it's funny, like, we can't seem to find the image you're talking about through the multiple topless, full frontal nude pictures of so like okay, I'm seeing it right now. [00:17:07] Speaker B: So that's nothing special. [00:17:09] Speaker A: It's nothing special compared to what the fuck she's been posting. [00:17:11] Speaker B: Yeah, I didn't even know that. Tells you how much I know. [00:17:13] Speaker A: Damn. [00:17:14] Speaker B: Okay, look, her eyes every time, every single time I see a picture of her, first and foremost, can't help but see the shadow there, the guy taking the picture. And secondly, her eyes just look like she's gone through it. [00:17:25] Speaker A: Yeah, she's been going through it, man. She'd been going through it. [00:17:28] Speaker B: Let me cry some white tears for. [00:17:30] Speaker A: Telling I was talking before. It's not that I don't care about Brittany, it's just that this is a story as old as time and as a consumer. [00:17:39] Speaker B: Blaine, go to all instead of images. [00:17:42] Speaker A: It gets like we were talking about Britney Spears story. It is literally the Michael Jackson story. It's literally the Amy Winehouse story. It's like these people who struggle with the pressure of their internal demons and being famous. Not a lot of people are built for that. [00:17:59] Speaker B: Most people aren't. [00:18:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:01] Speaker B: I feel like I'm just at a point in my life like I am 36 years old. I feel like just now I'd be able to handle it and stay balanced. If this happened to me when I was 25 or 21 or 18, bro, I will be an egomaniac. [00:18:14] Speaker A: It's not even like an egomaniac. I'm thinking about some of the scams I ran where I pulled in like boo, cool money. And to think of what I did with that money. I remember one of the biggest hold, yo. [00:18:27] Speaker B: I just can't help myself right now. What is your ethnicity, sir? [00:18:31] Speaker A: My ethnicity? [00:18:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:33] Speaker A: Okay, here we go. I'm black. [00:18:35] Speaker B: Okay. [00:18:35] Speaker A: But I'm African. [00:18:36] Speaker B: Yeah, but where? In Nigeria. And you did what? [00:18:39] Speaker A: I spent a lot of money. [00:18:41] Speaker B: No, how'd you get the money? [00:18:43] Speaker A: Scams. [00:18:43] Speaker B: Yes, that's it? [00:18:45] Speaker A: Yeah, a Nigerian scam artist. Okay. [00:18:46] Speaker B: Just making sure. [00:18:47] Speaker A: Nigerian scam in the blood. [00:18:48] Speaker B: Got it. Go on, please. [00:18:49] Speaker A: What I call a scam what I call a scam is just like it's not like literally taking money from people, okay? It's more of, like, taking money from there's. Like, I work for a company, I say, hey, there's an issue here. They tell me to shut the fuck up. So I exploit that issue. [00:19:05] Speaker B: That feels like a scam. [00:19:06] Speaker A: Yeah, it's 100% a scam. But I have a rule. [00:19:10] Speaker B: Give me an example. [00:19:11] Speaker A: All right. So I used to work for a certain hotel chain, and I explained to the GM that there was a huge issue in our money dropping system. So when I started to close out, I was like, Yo, we don't have a sign out sheet. And when you drop the money at night, there's no way to account for what you made in the day. If it's just cash. Like, you as a GM, should be the one counting it, or somebody should be sending you that cash. You can't just go into the safe and drop like that. She's like it's the system. It's fine. [00:19:39] Speaker B: Took all the money. [00:19:40] Speaker A: So what I would do on short days is I would just take all the money and I'd put it in the desk to see if anyone noticed, because I had this whole fucking speech plan about, like, this is a huge hole. And I was waiting for the owners of that hotel chain to show up so I could put the GM on blast, maybe get, like, a little raise. [00:19:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:58] Speaker A: So what ended up happening is that next week when they came by, I told them that they had a flaw in their system. They said the same thing. Shut the fuck up. They dissed me about it, okay? Like, I had this whole plan. I was like, this is the flaw in your system. Blah, blah, blah. Like, who the fuck are you? Yeah, you run the front desk. We have a manager. We have a GM, we have a sales manager. You make minimum wage. Shut the fuck up. They clowned on me in front of everybody. I don't even know how they invited me to the meeting. So I went back to the desk. I literally took $4,000 out of the desk, put it in my fucking pocket, and walked out of there. Did you quit? I didn't quit. I stayed. I stayed doing it. I kept doing it. I only quit because they made me cut my hair. Whoa. [00:20:39] Speaker B: They made you cut your hair? [00:20:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:41] Speaker B: They tried to make you cut your hair? [00:20:42] Speaker A: So they said that I had to cut my hair or I'm fired. And so I just didn't show up. The next day, I came to get my last check, and I said, you hired me with this hair? I've been working here for two years. You can't just show up one day and say I have to cut my hair. [00:20:56] Speaker B: Yeah, I agree. [00:20:56] Speaker A: That's not the way it works. [00:20:59] Speaker B: You could have filed a suit on that. [00:21:00] Speaker A: Yeah, man, I was young. I was 19. [00:21:01] Speaker B: Yeah, you didn't know. [00:21:02] Speaker A: I didn't know. I fucking stole a lot of money, though. [00:21:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:05] Speaker A: So that was one of the scams I had. And I bought a table at a club called Hide one night. I didn't even spend it all that night. It was like clubs were like to me, it seemed like a lot of money. It was, like $1,700. It wasn't even, like, a lot of money. When you think about it now, it's like, holy shit, a table is ridiculous. That's like a couple of thousand. It's like $3,000 just to get the table with the booze. But yeah. That was so dumb. Yeah, that was so dumb. I was immature. So, yeah, that's one of the examples. And yes, that's what happens. [00:21:40] Speaker B: Got it. All right, thank you. [00:21:42] Speaker A: Nigerians. Nigerians. Anyway, I want to talk to you about a few things that have been going on. I want to catch up with you, your kid, your professional career. But we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back, all right? [00:21:53] Speaker B: No. [00:21:54] Speaker A: Okay, you know what? You don't get a fucking say. All right? You don't get a fucking say. Jesus Christ. This mother. And we're back. I'm here still with my favorite co host, sitting in for Bennett Miller. [00:22:22] Speaker B: Say that about everybody. [00:22:23] Speaker A: Oh, my God. I couldn't even finish. Never mind. I hate this motherfucker. There's a deep hate. I tried. I tried. Y'all heard it. I tried. [00:22:31] Speaker B: It was just a good question. I was like, you say that about everybody. Am I actually your favorite co host? [00:22:35] Speaker A: You're the favorite one we've had. [00:22:37] Speaker B: Wow. You like me more than Bennett? [00:22:39] Speaker A: Oh, hell no. [00:22:40] Speaker B: Bennett's my favorite, but you just tell him your favorite. [00:22:43] Speaker A: Well, like, sitting in co host like Bennett is he's the staple. It's. Papa, don't preach. It's not. Papa don't preach without Bennett. And this one's the wow. [00:22:55] Speaker B: So I'm the best. Not Bennett. [00:22:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:57] Speaker B: Got it. Yeah, I'll take that. [00:22:59] Speaker A: Hey, one of Bennett, one of those motherfuckers is my literal family. [00:23:03] Speaker B: Yeah, but you're not going to choose your family, man. Your brother came for your ass and made you come for him. He pulled like no, you want to be want me on your stupid podcast? Yeah, you come to fucking come all the way where I'm at. [00:23:12] Speaker A: And here we go. Here we go. Anyway, that's what your brother did. Anyway, I should have done that. [00:23:17] Speaker B: Next time I'm doing that, you come to my podcast room. Next time. [00:23:19] Speaker A: Hey, man, that's going to happen. [00:23:21] Speaker B: Mine's way easier. Blaine doesn't have to do anything. Literally. Just sit down. [00:23:28] Speaker A: I don't want to go to your professional studio. All right. [00:23:31] Speaker B: That felt like the second lie you told today. [00:23:33] Speaker A: Yes. [00:23:33] Speaker B: That's great. [00:23:34] Speaker A: Anyway, it's spooky season. As you know, we did a Halloween episode last week with. Bennet. And I'm glad that you're here because there's some things I do want to find out about. I want to find out if I'm too old. I'm just not getting with it. What, do you got plans for Halloween? Are you going to any parties? Do you go trick or treating with your son? [00:23:52] Speaker B: My son is too young to trick or treat, so I'm not doing that shit. He's not even two. [00:23:57] Speaker A: He seems like he's been around forever. [00:23:58] Speaker B: No, not even two. He turns two in January, and so he's not going to remember this shit. So, no, I'm not taking him trick or treating. And I got invited to a bunch of Halloween parties. I am likely going to go to one. [00:24:10] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:24:10] Speaker B: Yeah, it's just like, good friends of mine and I go to their parties anyway, it has nothing to do with Halloween, okay? So for me, I'm just like, all right, I'll put on something. Just because you ask. [00:24:19] Speaker A: I'll go, how do you feel about putting on a costume and going to a party? I just immediately feel hot. [00:24:25] Speaker B: I mean, for me, I've always loved Halloween because of how slutty women dress. [00:24:29] Speaker A: Okay? [00:24:30] Speaker B: For me, all right, it's the price of a mission. I got to put on something stupid so I can see all the eye candy ever. [00:24:37] Speaker A: I think that's one of the reasons I hate Halloween. [00:24:39] Speaker B: Because you don't like eye candy? [00:24:40] Speaker A: Well, no, I don't mind. I mean, eye candy is everywhere. [00:24:42] Speaker B: But not like on Halloween, though. Halloween is a special slutty season. Women are just like caution to the wind and then just literally wear nothing. [00:24:53] Speaker A: There is this trend I've been seeing online of women wearing bedsheets as ghosts and just cutting out holes where their breasts are and putting googly eyes on their breasts and just shaking their boobs. Yeah. [00:25:04] Speaker B: Do you have a problem with that? [00:25:05] Speaker A: I don't have a problem with it. [00:25:06] Speaker B: That's what I'm my point being is, like, first of all, free the nipple. Free the nipple. [00:25:11] Speaker A: Look at this guy. [00:25:12] Speaker B: I'm part of that movement, but also. [00:25:14] Speaker A: Come for your ass, boy. [00:25:16] Speaker B: Who's going to come for me? [00:25:17] Speaker A: No, don't worry. Keep talking. Go ahead. [00:25:19] Speaker B: All I say is that for me, I don't personally believe that we should put these type of constraints as long as it's not influencing children. We're going to adult parties, do whatever adults can do whatever they want to do, as long as they're not breaking the law. [00:25:30] Speaker A: True. [00:25:31] Speaker B: And so for me, in that space, if a woman wants to dress very, have a revealing clothes on, I'm good with that. [00:25:36] Speaker A: Okay. [00:25:37] Speaker B: Regardless if she's fine as hell and has a great body or doesn't, if that's what you want to do. And you should be able to do that. Me, personally, I love it when the beautiful women wear very few clothes. I'm not going to do anything about it, but I'm like, man, it's a nice costume. [00:25:48] Speaker A: There nice costume. [00:25:49] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I'm gonna say. Nice costume. And also, wait, one other thing. [00:25:52] Speaker A: Go ahead. [00:25:53] Speaker B: I'm a nerd, so I love comic books, I love anime. I love cartoons, cosplay, shit like that. So that there's so much cosplay for me that it's just like, oh, shit. You're this, you're that. I'm just like so not only is it sexy, it's exciting for me. [00:26:04] Speaker A: Yeah, but that's the thing. Like, if I saw some girl dressed as Bulma looking great, I'd be like, that is awesome. That is cool. I know what it is. Chitara, same thing. But if I see a girl dressed as a nurse, I'm like, okay, cool. Of course you will, because you're a pervert. [00:26:23] Speaker B: How am I pervert? [00:26:24] Speaker A: You're not a pervert. You're single. That's what it is. I mean, yeah, kind of. [00:26:28] Speaker B: Kind of? [00:26:29] Speaker A: You're kind of single ish. No, you're not single, bro. [00:26:31] Speaker B: I know. [00:26:32] Speaker A: I just like nobody puts ish on their single. You're the single. If you're single ish, you're fucking up. [00:26:39] Speaker B: I don't want you to know what's. [00:26:40] Speaker A: Going on in my life. I don't care what's going on in your life. There you go. So what's going on in your life? [00:26:45] Speaker B: Oh, shut up. No, we're not doing that. [00:26:48] Speaker A: Halloween. All right. So what costume are you going with this season around? [00:26:54] Speaker B: You already know the answer. [00:26:55] Speaker A: I do. [00:26:55] Speaker B: It's very funny, and I don't like it. I'm going with the miles. [00:26:59] Speaker A: Hold on. Before you answer, there's a new video game out that's been taking us by storm. Spiderman Two. It is the answer to Spiderman One and the spin off video game of Miles Morales Spiderman. This game has been taken over. Have you heard of it? [00:27:16] Speaker B: I cannot hear enough about this game. [00:27:17] Speaker A: What do you mean you can't hear enough? It's the biggest game. It's supposed to be one of the biggest releases. It's a great game. [00:27:23] Speaker B: Every one of my friends who plays video games won't shut the fuck up about this game. [00:27:26] Speaker A: They love this game. It's a great game. You need to get a PlayStation. [00:27:28] Speaker B: You need to drop $800 so can play this stupid game. [00:27:30] Speaker A: You can just come over my house and play the game. [00:27:32] Speaker B: I should probably do that. [00:27:33] Speaker A: You should play the game. It's fun. [00:27:34] Speaker B: And ghost of Shishima. So you have that, too? Yeah, I want to play it. I might pull up. [00:27:38] Speaker A: It's a good game. [00:27:38] Speaker B: Save me a lot of money. [00:27:39] Speaker A: So, wait, what are you going to be for Halloween? [00:27:42] Speaker B: Brennan? [00:27:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:43] Speaker B: I mean, that's who I'm going to be. [00:27:45] Speaker A: You're going to be Brennan? [00:27:45] Speaker B: No. So the backstory is here. We just first of all, I'm a huge fan of Spider Man. I love Spider Man. [00:27:53] Speaker A: Okay, Ben. [00:27:54] Speaker B: I've read the comics long before there was a movie. Okay, let's start with that. Secondly is, I just came from a event for my friend's daughter. It was a Halloween thing, and he was wearing a Spider Man costume. Miles Morales costume. [00:28:08] Speaker A: All right, all right. [00:28:08] Speaker B: And I was like, hey, what are you doing with this costume after this? And he was just like, nothing. I was like, can I wear it to an event tomorrow? He was like, sure. So I'm going to wear the Miles Morales Spiderman costume that I didn't pay for that I'm borrowing from my friend. [00:28:20] Speaker A: Great. That's good to know. All right, great. Moving on. Yeah. [00:28:24] Speaker B: See, it didn't land. [00:28:25] Speaker A: Did? No, no, it landed. [00:28:26] Speaker B: No, I don't think it did. Anybody who's listening who felt like that landed, please comment below. [00:28:30] Speaker A: Let us know. [00:28:30] Speaker B: Because I think Obi just wants some bullshit. [00:28:33] Speaker A: So you're going to be Spider Man? [00:28:36] Speaker B: Allegedly. [00:28:37] Speaker A: Okay. [00:28:38] Speaker B: Allegedly, I'll be Spider Man. [00:28:40] Speaker A: You should just go as Miles Morales. It's a lot easier. [00:28:43] Speaker B: I don't have hair. [00:28:45] Speaker A: True. [00:28:47] Speaker B: I don't have an I got true. He doesn't have a beard like this? [00:28:51] Speaker A: No, he doesn't have a beard. He does have in the game, he does have like a nice fade uptown fade. But in the new one he doesn't. He's got locks. He's got locks going on. [00:28:59] Speaker B: Oh, he has the prowler locks. [00:29:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, the flat top locks. He looks like the weeknd, some shit. [00:29:04] Speaker B: All right. [00:29:04] Speaker A: Oh, no, he's going through some shit in this one. So I don't know what I'm going to be for Halloween. I'm not sure if I'm going to go out for Halloween. [00:29:12] Speaker B: You could be a baby back bitch. [00:29:13] Speaker A: I could, but that's not really a costume. AO self deprecate. [00:29:17] Speaker B: Hey just who you are. I'm with it. [00:29:19] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know if I'm going to dress up. I haven't dressed up in two years. Like dressed up dressed up. [00:29:26] Speaker B: I feel like you'd be the person to go like to eleven with it, though. [00:29:29] Speaker A: I usually was. Yeah, I know. [00:29:30] Speaker B: I can feel like you'd be like I am. You'd be the person that dressed up as Scorpion from mortal Combat and literally have things to shoot out and pull people at you. You need a guy for that. [00:29:39] Speaker A: Yes, I am. Usually I dress up elaborate costumes. I have props sometimes. [00:29:45] Speaker B: But I don't think it's important. I think it's a personal decision and I'm going to fuck, you know what I'm saying? For me, it's like if you want to do it, that's what's up. If you don't, that's what's up. You take it to Eleven, that's what's up. If you don't like Halloween, that's what's up. [00:29:55] Speaker A: It's just too much work. [00:29:55] Speaker B: It's a lot of work, money and work. And for me, I'm just like, I already got enough shit going on, so I'm good. [00:29:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:00] Speaker B: When my son starts dressing up, like, for me, my son kind of looks like pikachu anyway. [00:30:04] Speaker A: You're going to dress him as Pikachu? [00:30:05] Speaker B: I'm going to be Ash, and I'm going to put him as Pikachu and walk around. Because he has the color of pikachu. He has the rosy cheeks of pikachu. He has the round face of pikachu. [00:30:14] Speaker A: He looks like a rat, man. [00:30:15] Speaker B: Pikachu is not a rat. [00:30:17] Speaker A: He's not a rat? No. Pikachu is not a rat. [00:30:19] Speaker B: He's a mouse. [00:30:20] Speaker A: Oh, my yeah, you motherfucker. I know. [00:30:22] Speaker B: My Pokemon don't come in. [00:30:23] Speaker A: All right. What about Raichu? [00:30:24] Speaker B: Raichu is I don't know who Raichu is. [00:30:27] Speaker A: Is he a mouse or a rat or a hamster? [00:30:30] Speaker B: I don't know. Actually, here comes Blaine. [00:30:32] Speaker A: Oh, Ryachu. Raichu is the evolution of Pikachu. [00:30:36] Speaker B: Yeah, I know that. I'm saying, like, is he a rat Pokemon? I don't think so. I don't think either one of them is a rat Pokemon. I'm saying Pikachu, if anything, is a mouse Pokemon. [00:30:44] Speaker A: All right, well, this isn't helping. Yeah, I went all right. Squirrel. He's a squirrel. [00:30:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:54] Speaker A: Fuck you. It's a squirrel, not a rat. All right? Your son is a squirrel. [00:30:57] Speaker B: Looks like a cute little squirrel. You can't tell me he doesn't, bro, you've seen him. [00:31:01] Speaker A: I've seen him. I wouldn't say that. He's a rodent. [00:31:03] Speaker B: Hell, he is a cute as hell. [00:31:05] Speaker A: He is cute. They all are. They all start out that way until they start talking. Rodent. Rodent. Yeah. You have a cute kid, man. You did good. You did good all on purpose. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, moving on. Do you have a favorite candy that you're going to be using? [00:31:27] Speaker B: Honestly, I don't have a big sweet. I'm more of a savory. Like I like pies. Yeah, like apple pie all day. [00:31:35] Speaker A: Is pie savory, or is it sweet? They can be both. Yeah, but, like, a chicken pie is savory, but an apple pie is sweet. [00:31:42] Speaker B: I like what's it called, like, doughy stuff. [00:31:45] Speaker A: You like doughy stuff? [00:31:45] Speaker B: Yeah, I like doughy stuff. So for me, it's like donuts. So for me yeah, I love donuts. I won't eat them, though, because I know they're terrible for you. But for example, if I was to eat anything on here, I'd eat those Purple Skittles right there. Purple Skittles are the best color of Skittles, in my opinion. [00:31:58] Speaker A: I like the blue skittles. [00:31:59] Speaker B: The blue bag, those are second best. [00:32:01] Speaker A: What color is the one with the sour shit on top? That's the green. [00:32:04] Speaker B: That's the green bag. [00:32:05] Speaker A: That's if I'm having a bad day, I go with those ones. [00:32:07] Speaker B: Yeah, those will change your mood. [00:32:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:10] Speaker B: Not going to say it makes it. [00:32:11] Speaker A: Better, but change your mood. [00:32:14] Speaker B: They fuck up your tongue, too, though, dude. [00:32:15] Speaker A: It's like cutting the roof of your mouth like some just eating really sweet Captain Crunch fuck up the roof of your mouth for no reason. Yeah. [00:32:21] Speaker B: So good, though. [00:32:22] Speaker A: Delicious diabetes in a man. [00:32:26] Speaker B: I found out that there's, like, Captain Crunch doesn't even have as much sugar as, like, some I remember. There's another honeycomb. Honey? Like the honeycomb one? [00:32:33] Speaker A: The honeycombs, yeah. I think that has a lot of sugar. [00:32:36] Speaker B: Yeah. But you think about Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and it's literally covered in cinnamon and sugar, and so you're like Cinnamon Toast Crunch is covered in cinnamon and sugar. It's like a little square that was made from wheat that they literally dip in something that makes it so that it can hold onto literal cinnamon sugar on the outside. And it does not have as much sugar as something that looks like a little honeycomb. [00:32:58] Speaker A: So, captain crunch, cinnamon toast crunch and honeycomb. We don't know which one has the most sugar. [00:33:04] Speaker B: I think Captain Crunch is number one. [00:33:05] Speaker A: Okay. [00:33:06] Speaker B: Honeycomb is number two. And the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, we're going. [00:33:08] Speaker A: To look this up right now. [00:33:09] Speaker B: Blaine, tell me. I want you to order those three things. I want you to tell me when it comes to, like, per serving, they all the same size serving. Which has more sugar? Captain Crunch. Cinnamon toast crunch. Honeycomb, I promise you, cinnamon Toast Crunch ain't number one. [00:33:21] Speaker A: You think Cinnamon Toast Crunch has the butter? Oh, damn it. [00:33:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:25] Speaker A: No, it's not that one. What that's like? Honey Smacks. [00:33:30] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what honey Smacks. [00:33:31] Speaker A: That's the one. [00:33:31] Speaker B: Honey Smacks. [00:33:32] Speaker A: Because right under it's, honey Smacks, 50% more sugar. And Captain Crunch. [00:33:37] Speaker B: Captain Crunch didn't even make the top ten list. [00:33:39] Speaker A: Captain Crunch is number four on my list. [00:33:41] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, it is. [00:33:41] Speaker A: Right there. Oh, there it is. Yeah, Captain Crunch. Well, Captain Crunch. Oops. All berries. That's a different one. [00:33:47] Speaker B: That one's wild. Yeah, that's just the berries one. [00:33:49] Speaker A: That's the Captain crunch. Oops all berries. That one's a different one. [00:33:52] Speaker B: Yeah, but I'm saying is cinnamon Toast Crunch isn't on the list is my point. [00:33:55] Speaker A: Yes. [00:33:56] Speaker B: If you had asked me before I knew this, what is the most sugary cereal, I would say Cinnamon Toast Crunch, obviously. The one covered in sugar. [00:34:03] Speaker A: Yeah. I would have said Frosted Flakes. Or maybe Frosted Flakes. [00:34:07] Speaker B: Yeah, but, like, the oops all berries one. It's like, literally sugar. [00:34:12] Speaker A: Whoa, whoa, no, go back up. Regular Captain Crunch is right under oops all berries. Keep going there's crafts. No, that's Captain Crunch with berries. Yeah, those berries are the sugar. [00:34:22] Speaker B: The berries are just sugar bombs, bro. [00:34:24] Speaker A: Oops all berries. Yeah. I love that. The fucking the Captain's sitting on the box like, oopsie, yeah, I fucked up. [00:34:31] Speaker B: Diabetes, baby. Welcome to it. Yeah, for me, that was a really crazy thought because I was just like, I stopped eating Cinnamon Toast Crunches. Like, oh, it's too much sugar. And then I looked at it like, actually, this isn't the worst. It's not even close. [00:34:44] Speaker A: Dude, I started fucking with golden spoon. Have you ever fucked with that? I think that's what it's called. Golden Spoon. [00:34:50] Speaker B: You mean the keto? [00:34:51] Speaker A: Shit? It might be Keto. Golden Spoon. I think it's golden Spoon is a cereal company. Is it good? It's very good. Magic spoon. [00:35:05] Speaker B: Oh, wait, no, I've had magic spoon before. [00:35:07] Speaker A: It was the magic spoon. Which one did you have? [00:35:09] Speaker B: I don't remember because they sponsored some of our podcasts. They sent us a bunch of them. And so somebody's like, try this and I was like, never again. I tried one of them. I don't know. It wasn't which one do you like? [00:35:19] Speaker A: There was, like the cookies and cream one. I think that one was really good. [00:35:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:24] Speaker A: And the honey one was good. [00:35:25] Speaker B: I assume there has to be some of them that are good, because the one I had is like, they ain't selling this. That's how I felt when I ate it. I was like, this isn't selling? [00:35:31] Speaker A: No, there hasn't been one where I taste it, but they're good. I won't go for ones that I'm like. I'm not the type of person that tries shit. Yeah. I don't know. There's a lot of people out here that try shit. [00:35:41] Speaker B: I try shit. Obviously, I tried that. [00:35:43] Speaker A: I will try anything. But I'm not going to try everything. I'm not like, oh, I want to try something. Someone will be like, Taste this. I'll be like, all right. [00:35:50] Speaker B: I'll give it a like, I'm not going on my way to be like, let me find something. [00:35:53] Speaker A: No, that's not me. I'm like, if I find something I like, I like it. Okay. So there's like, try motherfuckers out there like, oh, yeah, I want to try this new sushi spot. Why I have a sushi spot? I ain't trying to fucking change. I know everybody there. I know where to fucking park. I know what's good on the menu. Might be an la. Thing, but whatever. All right. But yes, spooky season. I'm going to take my kid trick or treating. Last year was the first year that we went trickortreating. It was great. Big success. [00:36:19] Speaker B: This neighborhood. [00:36:23] Speaker A: Fuck you. [00:36:25] Speaker B: You live in a house in a neighborhood. I thought it might be an option. [00:36:28] Speaker A: You know what? There's so many kids on the block, too. I thought we'd all trickortreat. But no, it shuts down. [00:36:32] Speaker B: Really? [00:36:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Their lights off don't come here. That's the type of shit that's weak. It sucks. But yeah. I'm going to take them up to, like, Beverly Hills or something. [00:36:41] Speaker B: Like mid city. [00:36:44] Speaker A: No, we're going up the hill. Like Montrose, some shit. Okay. They have these really hip new things where they'll shut down, like a boardwalk or like a downtown area with a bunch of shops and restaurants. And the restaurants and shops will do it. Will do it. [00:36:58] Speaker B: Oh, that's fun. That's actually a good business move. [00:37:01] Speaker A: Yeah. So you can go to a restaurant, get something to eat, but every single shop or restaurant or store has someone in a costume with a table, with a big ass bowl of candy, handing it out to kids. And there's kids everywhere. [00:37:13] Speaker B: That sounds like a good idea. [00:37:14] Speaker A: Yeah, it's very fun. It's very fun. Kids love it. Yeah, because I realized, too, it's like more and more people are opting out of Halloween. You go door to door, like lights are off. It's creepy. Like, when we got into the neighborhood, we're like, who the fuck would walk around here. It wasn't a good thing. Can you not throw things at my producer, please? What? It's bad for business. Okay, but before we move on to my next subject, I wanted to have a little moment of silence. We just got some news about I wouldn't say an icon, but just a very popular character, very well known celebrity. Very well known celebrity. Mr. Matthew Perry. You guys might know him from the show Friends. He played Chandler. [00:38:00] Speaker B: He was actually my favorite character in that show. I didn't like that show at all, but if I liked anybody, he was the one. [00:38:05] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a bummer he lost. He's a guy who struggled most of his career, came out on the other side, and we got word that I think he drowned, which is very traumatic. Very traumatic. So a quick moment of silence. Could this be any more awkward? [00:38:27] Speaker B: It was. I mean, can we talk about how we found out, though? [00:38:30] Speaker A: Yeah, go ahead. No. [00:38:31] Speaker B: So there was a woman of Caucasian descent yes. That was in the room. She's the one who found out first. [00:38:37] Speaker A: She gasped. [00:38:39] Speaker B: She gasped? [00:38:40] Speaker A: Yeah. So go ahead. [00:38:41] Speaker B: She said, oh, my God. Gasped? [00:38:43] Speaker A: She stopped the whole room? [00:38:44] Speaker B: Yeah. And so everybody else in this room are black men? I like to one out. [00:38:48] Speaker A: Yes. [00:38:48] Speaker B: And so she's like, oh, my God. Chandler died. And then we all just looked like. [00:38:52] Speaker A: I tried to think, who do I know named Chandler? Yeah. [00:38:54] Speaker B: Then he was like, you were like, you mean Matthew Perry? Like, yeah. We were like, oh. And then we just kept doing what she's doing. She's over there about to cry, and we're like, oh, yeah, that's right. If I was white, this probably would mean a lot more to me. [00:39:05] Speaker A: If you're a fan of the show too. [00:39:07] Speaker B: Like I said, if I was white, this probably means a lot more to me. [00:39:10] Speaker A: Well, what if you heard know how did you feel when you heard Uncle Phil passed away? [00:39:14] Speaker B: That hurt. [00:39:15] Speaker A: That hurt? [00:39:16] Speaker B: Yeah, that one hurt. I mean, there's been a few deaths in my life that somebody I'd never met in my life that actually hit me. One of them hit me so hard, I actually cried. [00:39:23] Speaker A: Who was that? Nelson Mandela. [00:39:25] Speaker B: When Nelson Mandela died, like, I just cried. I've always felt like I've had a connection to him, and I don't know why. I was never obsessed with him or whatever. It's like after I found out what he did and how he did it, it just meant meant so much to me. For some reason, and I don't know why, I just connected to this guy that he could be put into prison by these people and then come out, forgive them, and then work with them to build the country into a better place. Now, obviously, he didn't get to where he wanted to go, but if he had gone in any form of other direction, he was the only one that could have made that happen that way. Yes, because if he would have been like, nah, fuck these white people. Kill them, then everybody would have been like, okay, kill them. But since he was the one who personally suffered and went to prison and said, no, I'm telling you guys, we will be screwed if we don't work with them, because they're the ones running everything right now. If we just take it over without actually knowing how to run it, then it's going to crash and burn, and we're going to end up like them up there. All the countries that you can see the example of, he's like, I am educated enough to know that we have to work together, and they don't want to leave. They're just scared of us. You know what I'm saying? So why don't we just work together and let's build something better? And so they ended up doing it. So now it's like, anybody that's not from Africa, don't go to Africa. They all want to go to South Africa because it's like a country that you can go to. And there's certain areas that are still racist as fuck, but you still have an infrastructure that works for the European side of things, but there's still black people that got money too. For example, one of my good friends, his dad is a general of the South African Army, and he's black as know, and he gets along all that kind of shit. So I'm not saying that everything's good or bad or whatever. My point being is that I felt a connection to this dude based upon his ability to forgive. And so based upon that, when he passed, it hurt me because I always, for some reason, felt in the back of my head that I was going to have time to go see him or meet him or see him speak or some shit. And I never did. And so when he died, I was. [00:41:09] Speaker A: Like, shit, that's like a different kind of celebrity where I was going. [00:41:13] Speaker B: Because he's like, yeah, I know. [00:41:14] Speaker A: He's not like an actor. [00:41:15] Speaker B: No, he actually did things like he was leader, world leader. [00:41:19] Speaker A: Who made you say, oh, you know, Martin Luther King's death really struck. [00:41:22] Speaker B: I wasn't alive. All right. Okay. There's Uncle Phil. [00:41:26] Speaker A: Michael Jackson won James Brown. When James Brown james Brown hit me. [00:41:30] Speaker B: Because I had gone to his concert for my birthday a couple of years before. [00:41:33] Speaker A: Damn, how old are you? [00:41:35] Speaker B: It was my 16th birthday. [00:41:36] Speaker A: Okay. [00:41:37] Speaker B: He was old. He was old. [00:41:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I was like, 16. He was not in his prime. [00:41:41] Speaker B: For my 16th birthday, my dad took me and my brother to go see James Brown because we liked him. [00:41:45] Speaker A: All right. Yeah. Michael Jackson was one that got me. I remember me and my buddy Jay, my buddy PAC. I remember that year we were saying, like, you know what he's going on this is it tours. Like, we don't care how much it costs. We're saving money. We're going to go see him in Paris or some shit. Like, we're going and it was one of those things, like, before social media is what it was when this happened. I remember driving, and Power 106 is like playing, you rock my world. I'm like, you rock my world. You know you did? Okay. All right, cool. And then I turned the station. They're playing Michael Jackson. I turned the station. They're playing Michael Jackson. I turn the station. Another Michael Jackson on a station that's never, ever playing Michael Jackson. I'm like, what the fuck is happening? And it didn't register. And then I heard, like, hey, that was this tragedy. Like, we got to give it up for the King of Pop. And then played another Michael Jackson song. Like, am I missing something? I was on a run. I was dropping off a hard drive at a post house. I was on a run. I was, like, driving with a bunch of hard drives next to me. And I was supposed to drop it off. And I pulled into this building, and I just kind of listened to the radio. I was waiting for another Michael Jackson song. And I remember it was man in the Mirror that ended. And every time I hear man in the Mirror, I'm connected to this moment to when I was fucking what's his fucking face. God damn. [00:43:06] Speaker B: I'm sure everybody knows his name. [00:43:07] Speaker A: Felly. Fell. DJ. Felly. Fell. I don't know if you guys remember this motherfucker, but I remember he came on, and he was supposed to be DJing the whole day. Just Michael Jackson. And he's like, yeah, we just lost the King of Pop. This is a very tragic this is a tragic thing. I'm like what? And it didn't register me. I'm like what? He's dead. He's not here. What happened? And he started playing it again. And I remember I had to take a deep breath because I was squeezing my steering wheel so hard. I was like, oh, shit. My body was trying to tell my brain, we don't have to let this happen. You don't have to receive this news right now. And that was the only time. That's the only time any celebrity or anything I heard, I was like, that sucks. But it didn't affect me the way it affected me when I heard and say what you will about Michael Jackson, fucking monster. He was not a great person, and he ruined a lot of lives. But there was a part, I'll tell you right now, there is a part of my childhood that's taken up by his music. [00:44:07] Speaker B: Me, too. [00:44:08] Speaker A: And I can remember exactly where I was the first time I heard Thriller. I can remember performing in front of my family. [00:44:14] Speaker B: Even the first notes of Thriller just evokes a reaction to me. Like. [00:44:21] Speaker A: You'Re in it. Yeah. [00:44:22] Speaker B: Now we're in it. We're just like, you got to do it. You're there. [00:44:28] Speaker A: That's true. I remember that year, too, after he passed away, that was the first time I ever heard Thriller on, like, a fucking Halloween pick and say, like a Halloween big lot commercial. Yeah, because remember, he didn't sign away shit. [00:44:44] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. He could not use his music touch. [00:44:46] Speaker A: His music. [00:44:46] Speaker B: Prince was worse about that. [00:44:48] Speaker A: But yeah, you just couldn't find it anywhere. And then after he passed, everybody was using Thriller. Yeah, Thriller became the Halloween song that year he died. Now I'm like, okay, he's really gone. And I remember I went through it again, and when I started hearing his music on commercials in movie theaters, I was like, oh, he's gone. [00:45:12] Speaker B: His family is now letting the rights. [00:45:14] Speaker A: Of his music yeah, man, bought trying to make money ain't going to be bringing up anymore. So, yeah, that's how it hit. So you brought something up today that kind of affected everyone in the room. [00:45:28] Speaker B: Yeah, obviously. Like our producer Blaine. That's why I threw something at him earlier. Yeah, he's feeling some type of shit. [00:45:33] Speaker A: So we talked about it earlier in this pod without apparently support. Apparently Brennan's getting back to football. You're getting back into football? [00:45:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:44] Speaker A: Like the so like the NFL, right? You're talking about the NFL? [00:45:49] Speaker B: I'm talking about them. I stopped watching NCLA and NFL. So now I'm actually watching both again. [00:45:54] Speaker A: Oh, you're watching both? Yes, both those. Okay, so you're watching them? Yes. And you're enjoying it? [00:45:59] Speaker B: Yes. [00:46:00] Speaker A: Okay. [00:46:00] Speaker B: I know. [00:46:01] Speaker A: All right, cool. Those are the guys that like kaepernick. [00:46:05] Speaker B: How about we start with where the reason I stopped was because of the rampant racism in the organization. [00:46:09] Speaker A: Okay, so they stopped that and that's why you're no, they didn't stop that. Oh, okay. [00:46:14] Speaker B: You're just looking past they calmed it down. [00:46:16] Speaker A: They calmed it down. [00:46:16] Speaker B: They calmed it down. So there's a couple different reasons for me, it's not about them. So, number one, my sister went to University of Michigan, and they have the top rivalry in college football against Ohio State. Everybody knows that's. The top rivalry in college football. And my whole life, they've gotten their ass whipped by Ohio State. Michigan has gotten their ass whipped by Ohio State. My entire life, the last two years, Michigan has manhandled them. And it's been a big deal for all the people that I grew up around and everybody who I love. It's really important to them. And so that connection to them, to be able to connect with them about the success of this team means a lot to me because now I have more connections for them. So for me, it's about the connections. [00:46:54] Speaker A: With the other people that are explaining why you're watching college football, not the NFL. [00:46:57] Speaker B: Can I get there? [00:46:58] Speaker A: Okay. [00:46:59] Speaker B: I'm from Michigan as well. [00:47:01] Speaker A: Okay. [00:47:01] Speaker B: Who's that team? [00:47:03] Speaker A: I think there's a bears. No, that's Detroit Lions. I forgot. About them. Yeah, exactly. [00:47:12] Speaker B: So my entire life, Detroit Lions, they've been garbage. Absolute garbage. [00:47:16] Speaker A: One of them, they're the first team. [00:47:17] Speaker B: To have a 116 to go completely defeat. You having fun? [00:47:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:21] Speaker B: So that's my point. So my whole life, my team that I cheer for has been, like, the fucking lack of stock of the NFL. The last time they won a playoff game was in 1991. Yeah, I was four. [00:47:32] Speaker A: I mean, they're still not that good right now. [00:47:35] Speaker B: They're five and one. [00:47:37] Speaker A: They ain't going to their yeah, but. [00:47:38] Speaker B: The thing is, my entire life, they've never been five and one. [00:47:40] Speaker A: Okay? [00:47:41] Speaker B: They beat the Chiefs in the game season, like the season opener. And before the season started, there was a documentary on them and a bunch of my best friends watched it, and they literally called me almost every fucking day, brennan, you have to watch this thing. You have to watch it. You have to watch it. You have to watch this. So I was like, fuck it. So I watched the part of it and I was, I'm behind the general manager of the Lions. I'm like, I genuinely like this guy. He's a black man. Most teams don't have general managers that are black at all. He's about his shit. The coach, I like him, too. I was like, this guy's fucking dope. But more importantly, I can see that the team winning and how important it is to all the people that I'd love is like, if they actually are able to win something, it's going to be so important to them, and I want to be a part of that joy. And my friends and my friends will not leave me alone about it because I was just like, guys, I've given up on football. I've given up on this team specifically. They've hurt me too many times. I can't fuck with this shit no more. [00:48:35] Speaker A: Do I got to watch the NFL now? [00:48:36] Speaker B: All I'm saying is that you don't got to watch it. All I'm saying this is I got. [00:48:39] Speaker A: To root against you. [00:48:40] Speaker B: Oh, of course. [00:48:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I got to root against you. [00:48:42] Speaker B: You can go fuck yourself. But point being is that's the reason I'm back into it is mostly not. I've always loved football. I like the strategic side of football. I hated playing football too little. I like the strategic side of, like I like playing Madden. I like watching how the offenses and defenses work and the way they're doing offensive schemes, defensive schemes. I feel like it's one of the more chess like games that we play with our physical. Oh, what? [00:49:07] Speaker A: The Lions are playing the Raiders on Monday? [00:49:10] Speaker B: Yes, they are. Monday Night Football. [00:49:12] Speaker A: Raiders are my team. [00:49:13] Speaker B: Yeah, monday night. [00:49:13] Speaker A: Well, they were. We've been going through a long divorce. [00:49:17] Speaker B: When we fucking mollywap you, then we could talk about it. But point being is that that's the reason I'm back in it is because of the connections with the people I care about, okay? That's the reason I'm back into so. And I'm not saying I do not buy any of this. Like, I literally have paid for, like and I intend to pay for nothing to allow me to watch the game. [00:49:33] Speaker A: That was a heavy thing to walk in here and say, hey, I'm getting back into the NFL. [00:49:37] Speaker B: We're like, no. And the thing is, I get it because for me, I'm still very much so fuck the NFL for the way that they treat black people. There's no question about it. But at the same time, the black people who I love the most are obsessed with what's going on right now, and I want to have that connection with them because they know that I do love football, okay? I love football. They know I love football. So they're like, Brennan, it's going to happen this year. And I'm just like, it never happens. [00:49:59] Speaker A: Shut up. Spoiler alert. It ain't going to happen this year either. [00:50:05] Speaker B: For me. It happening for the Lions, is them winning a single playoff game. [00:50:08] Speaker A: Hey, listen, I'm telling you right now, if they go to the Super Bowl, I want to be there and watch it with you. I will throw you a Super Bowl party. I won't. I'm not going to go that far. I'm going to be there to watch it with you. [00:50:17] Speaker B: And I appreciate that. All I'll say is, for me, the Super Bowl is winning a single playoff game. That is the standard of alliance. [00:50:22] Speaker A: Oh, man, you sound like a fucking loser. [00:50:24] Speaker B: I've never once in my life witnessed them winning a I know, but I'm. [00:50:26] Speaker A: Just saying, like, I don't care. You sound like a Clippers fan right now. [00:50:29] Speaker B: I don't know what to tell. [00:50:30] Speaker A: At least we made the playoff. I was like, EW. [00:50:32] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I'm so sorry that you literally are spoiled ass bitch when it comes to sports. [00:50:37] Speaker A: I'm not a spoiled ass bitch. I'm a raider fan. I'm the exact opposite of a spoiled ass. [00:50:40] Speaker B: Have they won a Super Bowl? [00:50:41] Speaker A: They have. [00:50:42] Speaker B: The lions haven't. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying to me, you're spoiled. [00:50:45] Speaker A: But I'm telling you, my team left. Have you my team left. [00:50:48] Speaker B: I understand that. Have you won playoff games? Have you seen your team wins? [00:50:51] Speaker A: No, not as a team. I was not able to enjoy the Los Angeles Raiders. The Los Angeles Raiders left before I could enjoy them. I was told not to. They went to Oakland, a rival city of Los Angeles. They did. [00:51:05] Speaker B: Now they're in Las Vegas, right? [00:51:06] Speaker A: I was trying and trying and hoping, and then they dangled this carrot. Every time they dangled this carrot, oh, we're going to move to La. We're coming back to La. I'm like, okay. Fuck yeah. [00:51:15] Speaker B: We got the Rams. [00:51:16] Speaker A: We're going to fucking do it. And then we ended up getting the Chargers and we ended up getting the Rams. And then oakland announces they're moving to Vegas, and I'm like, what the fuck? And then they brought the fucking Rams over, the Chargers over here. I realized that it's gone. My dream doesn't exist. It's never going to happen. [00:51:37] Speaker B: But in your life, a team that you've cheered for has won a playoff game that you can remember. Yeah, I don't have that memory, is what I'm trying to tell you. Yeah, because I don't have it. That's all I'm trying to tell you. Like, oh, I can't believe you're excited about this. I'm like, well, no. [00:51:48] Speaker A: What about the pistons? [00:51:49] Speaker B: The Pistons? Yeah, the Pistons won a championship. Who's your basketball team? [00:51:54] Speaker A: The Lakers. I'm talking about a football team. Yeah. [00:51:57] Speaker B: The thing is, you're switching the subject to a different entire sport because you're saying, oh, well, you won over here. I'm like, Motherfucker, the most winningest basketball program in basketball. [00:52:07] Speaker A: I'm spoiled. [00:52:07] Speaker B: Yeah, you're as fuck. But I'm just saying, though, so you're spoiled there, but you also and baseball you're spoiled. [00:52:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:12] Speaker B: The thing is, La. Is one of the most winningest fucking city when it comes to sports. [00:52:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. [00:52:17] Speaker B: Period. You know what I'm saying? The only reason that Detroit can even claim any of that is because of the fucking red. [00:52:20] Speaker A: Why don't you get the fuck out of here and go back to Detroit? [00:52:22] Speaker B: Fuck you. [00:52:23] Speaker A: Like, what the fuck? [00:52:24] Speaker B: Your couch. [00:52:25] Speaker A: What the fuck? [00:52:28] Speaker B: Moving on to the next subject, I'm done with you. How long is this podcast supposed to be anyway? [00:52:34] Speaker A: It's supposed to be long. Okay. It's supposed to be long. [00:52:36] Speaker B: All right. [00:52:37] Speaker A: We've gotten complaints. [00:52:38] Speaker B: I bet you have. There's no reason to have a podcast go this long in my camera. There's no reason a podcast should go. [00:52:43] Speaker A: This long anyway, ladies and gentlemen. [00:52:45] Speaker B: Podcast. [00:52:46] Speaker A: All right, let's just joking. Did you see that kids are getting fined in Georgia? [00:52:54] Speaker B: The kids aren't being fined. The parents aren't. [00:52:56] Speaker A: Well, you're getting fined if your kids are too loud at a restaurant. [00:53:00] Speaker B: How do you producer told me about it earlier. [00:53:01] Speaker A: How do you feel about that? Not my bitch ass producer. Why are you getting mad at him? He didn't do anything to you. [00:53:09] Speaker B: I'm not mad at him. He just is what he is, okay? I think that for a restaurant to institute something like that means that it's a problem that they've been having for real and that they're either losing business because of it or losing sanity. And so for me, I don't know if it's legal to do something like that, because then it becomes a subjective measure of like, all right, this is what's loud and this was what isn't. They have, like, a literal decibel meter in the corner. If this shit gets over this number, somebody has to pay $50, and it's probably going to be because of them kids. You know what I'm saying? [00:53:42] Speaker A: It could probably be like one of those things, like, you get three complaints you get fined. [00:53:45] Speaker B: Yeah. Or something like that. But I mean, I just think that's a bad move as a restaurant, because now you obviously have a lot of families bringing their children here, and now you're going to discourage families to bring their children here, which means you're not going to get that whole family. I mean what do you mean do I think about I think it's a bad business move, but I think it's funny. [00:54:06] Speaker A: Yeah. So as a businessman, it's bad. But how do you feel about Brendan. [00:54:10] Speaker B: The person, as a parent? My kid is quiet and I'm good with it. Because you can make that same argument. You could lead it towards like, well, kids on an airplane, they're crying or whatever. Should they have to pay more to keep everybody up on a night flight? [00:54:22] Speaker A: Yeah, but I mean, what's the difference? People in general well, I'm saying people in general fuck, I've been to restaurants with no motherfucking kids at, and I'm like, these motherfuckers need to shut the fuck up. [00:54:33] Speaker B: No, people can be loud. So the thing is, that's why I think if you're going to do it, then I think you should do it. Anybody being this loud, drunk motherfuckers show up. They're louder than the kids could ever be. That's true. And they're more violent. It should be a literal decibel meter at each table, you know what I'm saying? And if your table decibel meter goes above a certain number, then this actually automatically gets added to your bill. But I'm sure they're not doing that. It's a subjective measure, so I think it's stupid. [00:54:56] Speaker A: It's the most American shit I've ever seen in my life. [00:54:58] Speaker B: Most American? [00:54:59] Speaker A: Yeah, it's the most american. Just like, you guys are too loud. [00:55:02] Speaker B: I see the Brits doing that. [00:55:04] Speaker A: I don't see them financing. Like they embracing that shit. [00:55:07] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:55:09] Speaker A: You don't think so? [00:55:10] Speaker B: I could see them doing it. Well, I mean, like have you been to the UK? [00:55:13] Speaker A: Not as an adult. [00:55:14] Speaker B: I have. [00:55:15] Speaker A: Not as an adult. Last time I was in the UK, I was like eleven. [00:55:17] Speaker B: Oh, I was there like a few years ago. [00:55:20] Speaker A: How was it? Loud? [00:55:21] Speaker B: I do not like the UK. [00:55:22] Speaker A: I mean, then they invent racism. [00:55:26] Speaker B: They're part of it. Them in Portugal, Spain. Portugal built all the goddamn I have a thing with Portugal. They built all the slave ships. So I'm like, we got a problem. But no, I mean, I didn't like the UK because it's just like somebody people just need to get punched in the face. A everybody walks around with this belief that nobody's going to punch them in the face. So they just treat each other like shit. Everybody just treats each other like shit. [00:55:47] Speaker A: There that's like New York feels like. [00:55:49] Speaker B: But it's worse than New York, though, because like, in New York you can get shot. [00:55:52] Speaker A: New York, you can get shot. [00:55:53] Speaker B: You can get fucked up. People will fuck you up in New York, but in the UK, nobody gets fucked up. You know what I'm saying? So people just walk around with this invisible confidence. For example, like, a guy who was from New York moved to the UK. He was my business partner's best friend. We went to go visit him in the UK. We were there, and he's complaining about how somebody needs to get punched in the face, and nobody believes it'll ever happen. And then people just do the rudest things, and they expect no repercussions for it. And we're at a pizza shop while he's telling us this. I sat down with my pizza. I put it in front of my table. There's a stool there. And then I'm like, oh, shit. I need to go get a drink. I put my stuff. I walk away. They're sitting here having a debate, look, talking to each other. And then I come back, and there's two women sitting in my shit. They just pushed my pizza, my fresh pizza in front and just moved it and just sat there. And I'm like, Yo, this is my seat. And they just looked at, like, what of it? And just looked back. And then he stood up, and this is what the fuck I'm talking about. He's, like, yelling like, these bitches right here. And they just keep talking as if he's not like they were like, you're not going to do anything. And he didn't you know what I mean? But in the United States, you don't do that shit. [00:56:54] Speaker A: Would they do that to white men? [00:56:56] Speaker B: Yeah, he was a white dude. Both of them were white dudes. [00:56:58] Speaker A: Oh, shit. [00:56:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:59] Speaker A: And the plot thickens. [00:57:00] Speaker B: Yeah, I was the only black person there. They didn't know they did it to a black. [00:57:05] Speaker A: I'm like, yeah, I can tell why they're ignoring you. [00:57:07] Speaker B: Yeah. He's the one yelling at them. I wasn't even goddamn so that's what I'm saying. It's like there's, like, this sense of superiority of like, I am untouchable because I am here. [00:57:16] Speaker A: Gotcha. [00:57:17] Speaker B: And so if that's the case, then it's just like you can imagine not going to the don't like, I didn't like it. [00:57:22] Speaker A: You know what place you'd love? What? Tokyo. [00:57:25] Speaker B: I know. [00:57:26] Speaker A: I'd love to love Tokyo. [00:57:27] Speaker B: I want to go Tokyo so bad. [00:57:28] Speaker A: They got it fucking figured out. [00:57:30] Speaker B: I want to go. [00:57:31] Speaker A: I want to go. We should go. [00:57:32] Speaker B: I'd go up. [00:57:33] Speaker A: We should go. We should get a whole group together. [00:57:35] Speaker B: Just go. No, it's too hard. [00:57:36] Speaker A: No, it's very easy. [00:57:37] Speaker B: No, it's not easy to get a group together to travel across the world. It's not. [00:57:40] Speaker A: No, everybody's going to do their own shit. [00:57:42] Speaker B: I understand that, but I have no. [00:57:43] Speaker A: Interest in organizing a group of you're not organizing it. [00:57:46] Speaker B: Who is? [00:57:46] Speaker A: You're not organizing it. It's saying, I'm leaving here on this date. And you say, Y'all figure it out. That's it. We're not staying together. That's it. [00:57:54] Speaker B: That's the way to go about it. [00:57:55] Speaker A: Come on, man. I still don't fucking college. [00:57:57] Speaker B: I understand that, but I still don't even want to have the pressure of that for, like, motherfuckers. Because it's just like then people start asking for shit. Well, what's your itinerary going to be? Because I want to be there for you for this. [00:58:05] Speaker A: You got bad friends, Brand? [00:58:06] Speaker B: No, I have fucking needy friends. [00:58:08] Speaker A: Yes, I have. Don't invite them. [00:58:09] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying. I'm not inviting them. That's what I'm saying. I'm going to go. [00:58:12] Speaker A: My crew will come. [00:58:13] Speaker B: Don't worry. [00:58:14] Speaker A: They are self sufficient. [00:58:15] Speaker B: Okay. [00:58:16] Speaker A: We show up and that's it. [00:58:18] Speaker B: Not Blaine, though, right? [00:58:19] Speaker A: Blaine does not leave his house. He ain't going to leave the country. He doesn't leave his house. I usually bring the all right, yeah. Producer. [00:58:32] Speaker B: Producer. [00:58:33] Speaker A: Yeah. That's why we don't mic him up. You see it right now. Why we don't mike him up. That's a reason right there. [00:58:37] Speaker B: He doesn't deserve it. [00:58:42] Speaker A: Sorry to come back to this, but if restaurants had like, a kid, just like they used to have smoke free zones back in the day, what if they had like, kid free zones? Like you could sit on the kid free zone. Would you pay extra to sit in that? You would. [00:58:53] Speaker B: If there's a lot of kids and I walk to a restaurant, there's a bunch of kids being loud and yelling and throwing shit and stuff, I'd be like, yeah, I'll pay more. I'll pay the 10% off our charge. [00:59:01] Speaker A: I don't know. Like, noise doesn't bother me. [00:59:03] Speaker B: Yeah, throwing shit does. My son throws shit. [00:59:05] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. You know what's funny? I was at a spot, I forgot what it was called. Shannon's going to kill me. But it was like the Benihanas of the bay. But there was a restaurant and that was their thing. It was just like and remember, my kid was like at the time, two, and was not acting right. And he's actually suffering with this right now. But he saw that people were laughing, so he kept on doing it. And he took a bowl of rice and just threw it across the table. And everyone was like, yay. I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? And he's like, jumping around, having a great time. And it was thank God everybody at the table was chill. Because remember, just like Benihana. So for all of you who are listening and like, what the fuck is Benihana? I have him sitting at a table, a U shaped table with a bunch of fucking strangers trying to enjoy a meal that a chef is cooking right in front of us. And my son has launched a bowl of rice across the fucking table. Like there's broken glass on the cooktop or our food is going to be eaten and people are cheering. Yeah, I would have paid extra not to be there you go. [01:00:16] Speaker B: That's my point. [01:00:16] Speaker A: You see, I would have paid extra yeah. I don't want to be next to. [01:00:20] Speaker B: Two year olds are terrorists. [01:00:21] Speaker A: I mean, I didn't take them out to a restaurant for a while after. [01:00:24] Speaker B: That, they try to kill themselves and everyone around them. [01:00:27] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, you just shouldn't be taking kids to restaurants. That's really what it is. [01:00:31] Speaker B: If you do strap them to their fucking seat. [01:00:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:00:35] Speaker B: The thing is that it really is. You go to a restaurant, they're like, oh, would you like a high chair? They're literally saying, do you want a strap that you can put this child in so that you don't I mean. [01:00:41] Speaker A: They'Re not even, like, straps anymore. They're little seats. [01:00:44] Speaker B: Yeah, they're little seats. [01:00:45] Speaker A: My kid got out of it. They gave me a fucking he got out and he threw a bowl. [01:00:50] Speaker B: So for me, I actually have this thing you could drop into the seat that it becomes a strap so it straps around so I don't fuck around. [01:00:56] Speaker A: Yeah, any one of them over the shoulder, like Apollo 13 strap. [01:00:59] Speaker B: Your son's a little older. [01:01:00] Speaker A: Yeah, he is five, bro. [01:01:02] Speaker B: Yeah. My son's not even two, so he's still just like, oh, you put me here. I guess I'm here. [01:01:07] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [01:01:08] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? I guess this is where I live now. [01:01:10] Speaker A: Yeah. I can't wait till he starts running. [01:01:13] Speaker B: He does run. [01:01:14] Speaker A: Oh, really? Away from you. Oh, yeah. Oh, that sucks. Yeah, he runs you're in that part now. [01:01:18] Speaker B: Yeah, that's fine. [01:01:19] Speaker A: Yeah. No wonder you're getting your hip fixed. [01:01:21] Speaker B: I told you, it's not a game, bro. Not a game. Get the hip fixed out of yeah. [01:01:25] Speaker A: I'll tell you, you won't start taking care of yourself until you have somebody that's, like, matching your speed and your agility, like, oh, fuck. [01:01:31] Speaker B: He's not doing that yet. [01:01:32] Speaker A: Well, I mean, you got the foresight to be like, OOH. [01:01:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:37] Speaker A: I was telling you I got a knee issue. And it popped one day, and Ozo was downstairs, and I was upstairs, and I was like, oh, shit. What if I fell down the stairs and it was just me and my son? He had to witness that. What if he was upstairs and he needed me and I couldn't get up there? Yeah, I got to get my knee. But it's expensive. [01:02:00] Speaker B: It's a lot. [01:02:00] Speaker A: How much is your son worth? [01:02:02] Speaker B: Everything. He's worth everything. He's worth more than I am, that's for sure. [01:02:07] Speaker A: Oh, that's good. But before I end this segment, this Halloween bullshit, I want to find out your go to Halloween scenario. [01:02:23] Speaker B: Some people are like, My dad. I'll tell you my best memory of Halloween. And the thing that I would love to experience again or the thing I love the most is it's a twofold thing. [01:02:31] Speaker A: Okay. [01:02:31] Speaker B: Is the beginning of the night. It's like, my dad will put on the Thriller album. [01:02:35] Speaker A: Oh, shit. [01:02:36] Speaker B: And then he would normally roast some peanuts and make some popcorn, and he would have a bunch of snacks that weren't even that bad, but they're just delicious things that he just did. Like my dad's things that he did. [01:02:47] Speaker A: Okay? [01:02:47] Speaker B: And so he would make those things and then we would sit in the living room, which is right next to the door, and watch kids come up and then give them candy and stuff like that. That was fun. [01:02:55] Speaker A: Okay. [01:02:55] Speaker B: And so I love that because the music starts playing. It's oh, we're in. [01:02:58] Speaker A: The. [01:03:02] Speaker B: Kids come up and stuff, so we're having a good time. And so that was really fun. Exactly. [01:03:08] Speaker A: Yeah, we're with it. Oh, sorry. [01:03:09] Speaker B: It just hits blackness. And so the other side of it is actually going trickortreating. [01:03:15] Speaker A: Okay. [01:03:16] Speaker B: Because I grew up in a neighborhood that was very much so. Like, here comes the brag white picket fence. [01:03:20] Speaker A: Shit. Oh, my God. [01:03:21] Speaker B: There was no fences like that. But literally, just like, what you imagine as a typical American Midwestern neighborhood is what I grew up in. [01:03:26] Speaker A: Oh, nice. [01:03:26] Speaker B: And it was huge. Our neighborhood is huge. I think as an adult, I found out there's, like, almost 1000 houses in my neighborhood. Like massive. Like massive. [01:03:36] Speaker A: Look at that. You said what by comparison. Yeah. [01:03:40] Speaker B: No, I mean, it's a mass neighborhood. There's only, like, four models of the house. Every fourth house looks the same. Yeah, but point being is the goal for all of us as kids was to hit every single house in the neighborhood. [01:03:51] Speaker A: Not possible then. [01:03:52] Speaker B: It wasn't. [01:03:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:53] Speaker B: So we did our bet. That was fun to try, though. We'd be literally running to each house. [01:03:58] Speaker A: Thank you. [01:04:00] Speaker B: Thank you. Come on, get to the door. Let's go. I remember we had strategies. We did it so long that we were driving. We were, like, 1718 years old, still trying to accomplish shit. And so I remember we got to the point where we had a strategy. Like, we literally had a map of the neighborhood. And we were like, all right, we're going to start here, and then we're going to drop the bags of candy into the car here. You know what I'm saying? Then drive to this side and then go to here. And we still couldn't do it. It was just too big. And we were like, if we can make this kind of time, we're like, look at the time. [01:04:30] Speaker A: We're not we're behind. [01:04:32] Speaker B: We were really trying to do it, and we were just like, Fuck it. There's just no way. [01:04:35] Speaker A: Yeah, we were talking last week about of how old you were when you stopped trick or treating. And I realized we grew up in different neighborhoods. [01:04:43] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. When I left for college, that is when I stopped. Because the thing is, what we would do is you get a costume. Because I'm not a big person. When I graduated from high school, I was five. [01:04:57] Speaker A: Okay? Five. [01:04:58] Speaker B: Five a buck 50. [01:04:59] Speaker A: All right. [01:04:59] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? I could be twelve. So you just have a full body costume? I have a mask on. [01:05:04] Speaker A: All right, that makes sense. [01:05:05] Speaker B: Trick or treat. [01:05:06] Speaker A: I was a football player. Yeah. [01:05:07] Speaker B: I was not. I was a basketball player. [01:05:10] Speaker A: I'm the type of dude that cops pulled over like, sir. Yeah? Put it down. Sir, show me your hands. I was like, that was me. [01:05:19] Speaker B: That was not me. They were just like, you fucking up cops. Whatever. [01:05:22] Speaker A: Point where's your dad? [01:05:24] Speaker B: Pretty much. So for me, as I always looked young, I still look younger than I should. I hate it. [01:05:30] Speaker A: You do look great. Look good for your age. [01:05:31] Speaker B: Thank you. I don't like it. I wish I looked my age. [01:05:33] Speaker A: Well, I mean, the grays are actually coming up in your beard now. [01:05:36] Speaker B: I'm hoping. The only thing I got, bro, imagine if my beard was black. [01:05:40] Speaker A: Damn. [01:05:42] Speaker B: If my beard was all black like yours, okay. Then nobody would have any idea how old I was. They'd be like, Some people be like, oh, you're 24. Some people be like, you're 45. [01:05:52] Speaker A: Okay. Nobody's saying, I hope so. [01:05:55] Speaker B: Have you seen pictures of me at 24? [01:05:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:57] Speaker B: I look identical to what I look like right now. [01:05:59] Speaker A: You're not looking hard enough, bro. [01:06:02] Speaker B: I'll take that. Thank you. I have age. I want that. [01:06:04] Speaker A: Yeah, you look good. You look good. You look good and distinguished. Listen, we're going to take a break. Older. [01:06:09] Speaker B: Can we be done? Goddamn it. How long is this podcast? [01:06:12] Speaker A: Very. I told you. Very. Deal with it. It and we're back, ladies and gentlemen. [01:06:37] Speaker B: We're still here. [01:06:38] Speaker A: Yes, we're still here. Oh, God, please kill me. But we've reached the end of our podcast, actually. Yes. All right, so you guys have a good night. Take it easy. All right. Bye. [01:06:49] Speaker B: Thank you. [01:06:50] Speaker A: But before we go of course, before we go, there's been a list circled around the Internet. [01:06:55] Speaker B: Wait, there's more. [01:06:56] Speaker A: I wanted to get your opinion on it. I don't know if you've seen this list. [01:07:00] Speaker B: Everybody has seen this. [01:07:01] Speaker A: This has been the absolute no go first date list that has been going viral and blowing up the Internet. For those of you at home who have not seen this list, a bunch of women got together and created a list of the worst absolutely not. That these women will go to on a first date. And I think the entire Internet of women agreed. No, I think that most women a. [01:07:29] Speaker B: Lot of women saying, like, this is a bit much. Because the thing is you can pick it apart. I agree with some of it. [01:07:35] Speaker A: I mean let's go down the list. Let's go down the list. All right. The first one is Cheesecake Factory. And I say that's the worst. First women do not I'm going to say this is Blanket statement. I'll take an L for it and I'll have them come after me. Women aren't really great at choosing where they want to go. So you're going to give them the biggest goddamn menu in the game. Get the fuck out of I think. [01:07:53] Speaker B: That'S a good point, but I also think it's a decent restaurant with good is with that menu that big something on it that's fucking good. [01:08:00] Speaker A: Well, you can go there and get Cheesecake Factory. [01:08:02] Speaker B: I've only ever been there once, to be honest. [01:08:04] Speaker A: They got shitty cheesecake. [01:08:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know anything about it. All I know is that it's not a shitty restaurant in the space of, like, their cheesecake's. [01:08:11] Speaker A: Okay. [01:08:11] Speaker B: All I'll say is this is like a lot of my arguments to all of these numbers you're going to give me are going to be that it all depends on the person. Depends on the experience. It depends on how you approach it. [01:08:20] Speaker A: Well, it's a first date. [01:08:21] Speaker B: Well, if you're going there to make fun of the Cheesecake Factory with her because of this list, then it's a good date. [01:08:25] Speaker A: Okay. [01:08:26] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? You're like, yo girl. I know that, but honestly, I have a point to prove. They said this can't be a good date, and I want to take you there as our first date. Are you down? She can be like, fuck yeah. And then we go. It's like, yo, is this really the first date? [01:08:38] Speaker A: Well, that's the thing. It's like these women are saying they're not even going to say yes to this. [01:08:41] Speaker B: Well, then if I'm choosing to take and pay for you to go somewhere shut the fuck up. [01:08:48] Speaker A: You're going to take a girl on her first date to Applebee's? [01:08:50] Speaker B: I said I didn't agree to everywhere, okay? [01:08:52] Speaker A: You gotta take it to Applebee's. [01:08:53] Speaker B: I'm not gonna go to Applebee's. [01:08:54] Speaker A: I don't even know where Apple this might be the la in me, but I don't even know where the fucking Applebee's is. [01:08:58] Speaker B: Okay, that is definitely the la in you from coming from a small town. There's an Applebee's in every small town. [01:09:02] Speaker A: I know where there's a Chili's. [01:09:03] Speaker B: And I think that Chili's is like, same thing. Applebee's and Chili's owned by the same company. They have the same menu. They're the same thing. [01:09:08] Speaker A: What about Chipotle? [01:09:09] Speaker B: I wouldn't do chipotle. [01:09:11] Speaker A: Okay. What about Olive Garden? [01:09:12] Speaker B: I would do Olive Garden. [01:09:13] Speaker A: So when you're here, your family yeah, olive Garden. Yeah. [01:09:16] Speaker B: That's probably like the bare minimum. [01:09:17] Speaker A: I'd go, you know, it's like I would take my current girlfriend to Olive Garden because she's just told me that she wants to go to Olive Garden. She's never been. [01:09:24] Speaker B: Hilarious. [01:09:24] Speaker A: Yeah. I would put Marie Calendars and Olive Garden up about the same. I would. First date. That's just kind of crazy. It's a chain restaurant with the white linens. [01:09:32] Speaker B: Like, it's just come mean I'm gonna be all the way up. I feel that you really have a lot of strong opinions about this, but I have a hard time accepting any form of opinion of a. Black man with Ashy ass elbows about where we should be going on a first date. [01:09:43] Speaker A: You should. [01:09:45] Speaker B: You got Ashy elbows, so that kind of discredits everything you're saying. [01:09:47] Speaker A: Confidence, bro. No, I don't got to go on a first date, Ash. I don't got to go on a first date, Ash. [01:09:53] Speaker B: But the thing is that's my point. You don't even know when's the last time you went on the first date. [01:09:57] Speaker A: It was, like, three years ago. [01:09:58] Speaker B: Exactly. Don't talk to me about it. [01:10:00] Speaker A: You're telling me you get it. You're saying no to most of these places, but I'm not saying no to. [01:10:04] Speaker B: All of them like you. [01:10:07] Speaker A: So what about buffalo wild wings? Wingstop isn't even a restaurant. [01:10:11] Speaker B: That's not a restaurant. [01:10:12] Speaker A: Wingstop is not even a restaurant. [01:10:13] Speaker B: Not a restaurant. [01:10:15] Speaker A: Fast food spot. [01:10:16] Speaker B: Hold on, hold on. [01:10:17] Speaker A: Okay. [01:10:18] Speaker B: Bdubs can work if it's during a sporting event that you both want to see, because Bdubs is lit for sporting events. [01:10:23] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's not a first date. [01:10:25] Speaker B: She's a sports fan and says in her shit she's a sports fan. [01:10:28] Speaker A: You're making excuses for this. [01:10:29] Speaker B: I'm not making excuses. [01:10:30] Speaker A: Yes, you are. That's exactly what this is. [01:10:32] Speaker B: I am literally saying that there is an opportunity where it wouldn't be a bad first date. That's what I'm saying. [01:10:36] Speaker A: If every other restaurant burnt down in a riot and only Cheesecake Factory was there, yes, I would go. [01:10:41] Speaker B: I was talking about buffalo. Wild wings. [01:10:43] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm telling you, if it was Buffalo Wild Wings, I would go. If every other restaurant I didn't say that. [01:10:48] Speaker B: I said if the situation works. And that's one ridiculously dire situation. But if I'm like, if we meet on app and all she wants to talk to me about is sports and she's really excited for this big game that's not in the city that we're in. [01:10:59] Speaker A: Yeah, I got it. You got one scenario. Great. [01:11:01] Speaker B: So it's a scenario that works, and that is a first date scenario. Okay, does that not work? [01:11:06] Speaker A: I'm not trying to create first date scenarios, okay? I'm not trying to create them. [01:11:10] Speaker B: So Red Lobster? [01:11:11] Speaker A: Yes. Red Lobster is a yes for a first date. [01:11:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [01:11:14] Speaker A: EW. [01:11:15] Speaker B: Hilarious. [01:11:16] Speaker A: It's like the worst. [01:11:17] Speaker B: Hell yeah. Here for the cheddar biscuits, baby. [01:11:20] Speaker A: Fuck you. I mean, okay, I'm going to tell you right now, if you go into my kitchen. [01:11:27] Speaker B: We just made something. Yeah, exactly. Like, I'm here for the Chedar biscuits. We can keep it all the way real. [01:11:32] Speaker A: Yeah. I'll be honest. That's the second date. That's second date not my first. [01:11:34] Speaker B: I'm okay with that. [01:11:35] Speaker A: I'm not trying to eat that many cheddar biscuits in front of a girl I just met. [01:11:39] Speaker B: I think she needs to know who I am. She needs to know who I am, what I'm about. [01:11:44] Speaker A: No, I'm not showing up there with Ashy elbows. [01:11:46] Speaker B: Look at me eating fucking plane right here. [01:11:47] Speaker A: Cheddar biscuits. [01:11:48] Speaker B: Needs to know who I am. [01:11:50] Speaker A: No, don't agree with this motherfucker. Don't agree with this motherfucker. [01:11:53] Speaker B: I hide shit. [01:11:53] Speaker A: What about the gym? [01:11:55] Speaker B: No. [01:11:56] Speaker A: What about church? No. Starbucks? Yes. You can take a Starbucks. [01:12:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Coffee shop. [01:12:01] Speaker A: But yeah, I didn't say coffee shop. I said Starbucks. [01:12:05] Speaker B: Probably not. Like there's a bunch of because the next one is coffee State, so I'd say the next one. Yes. I would definitely do coffee. I've done those also. [01:12:13] Speaker A: You know what? I didn't see coffee dates on there. [01:12:15] Speaker B: Yeah, coffee dates is a good idea. Especially because it's like my favorite thing about a coffee date is there isn't a big commitment. Not a big financial commitment. There's not a big time commitment. You can make it last as long as you want or make it as short as you want. [01:12:25] Speaker A: That's true. [01:12:25] Speaker B: Because sometimes we've all been trapped at a dinner we didn't want to get to. Waiting for the fucking food. [01:12:29] Speaker A: Dude, I've been on a first date sitting across from a person. That the first couple of words out of my mouth. I was like, fuck, this is going to be a long night. [01:12:38] Speaker B: I have showed up for a date, walked up to the table and said, no, thank you, and walked away. [01:12:43] Speaker A: That's mean. That's fucking mean. [01:12:46] Speaker B: No, she catfished me. Oh, she didn't look anything like her pictures. [01:12:50] Speaker A: Oh, shit. Yeah. [01:12:51] Speaker B: So it's like in her pictures, she's a buck 25, four. In reality, she's 284. [01:12:58] Speaker A: Okay, you know what? [01:12:59] Speaker B: I'm maybe she has a bad time. [01:13:01] Speaker A: Was it her, though? [01:13:02] Speaker B: Yeah, it was her. Because I was like because I walked around the restaurant three times looking for her and didn't see her. [01:13:06] Speaker A: But I'm saying it was her. [01:13:07] Speaker B: She was just so she texts me and says, I'm in the red in the back. And then I go in the red, and I'm like, Ashley Brennan? No, thank you. [01:13:17] Speaker A: That's mean. Is it? [01:13:19] Speaker B: Yeah, it's mean that she fucking lied in her pictures. I mean, she wasted my goddamn time. [01:13:23] Speaker A: You know what reminds me of a movie called Shallow How, which does not age well. Have you seen that movie? [01:13:29] Speaker B: You would have sat down and had dinner with somebody you weren't interested in. [01:13:31] Speaker A: I would have talked to her. [01:13:31] Speaker B: I wouldn't have I would have talked to her. Not interested, though. That's the thing, is, like, I'm here to find somebody interested in dating. I'm not interested in dating because the first thing that you did was lie to me. [01:13:39] Speaker A: That was another thing. It's like, I wasn't interested in dating. [01:13:42] Speaker B: No, but I'm not interested in anything anymore because I'm here to be interested in dating or fucking. [01:13:46] Speaker A: Okay? Okay. [01:13:47] Speaker B: And so big girl like that, I'm not interested. [01:13:50] Speaker A: Okay? [01:13:50] Speaker B: I'm not interested in fucking, and I'm not interested in dating because you lied to me from Jump. First thing you do is lie to me. So I'm not interested in dating you. [01:13:56] Speaker A: Okay? [01:13:56] Speaker B: Second thing is I'm not attracted to you. [01:13:57] Speaker A: Why am I I'm just saying it's mean. [01:14:00] Speaker B: I think she's the meaner one in that sense. [01:14:02] Speaker A: Yes, you're both mean. [01:14:04] Speaker B: I'm not mean. I'm just being like you don't think that's mean? Didn't waste your time. [01:14:07] Speaker A: Hey, I don't like the way you look. You tricked me. I wouldn't have swiped on you. You lied to me. Goodbye. [01:14:14] Speaker B: I didn't say that. No, I literally said, no, thank you, have a good night, and walked away. [01:14:18] Speaker A: No, thank you. [01:14:19] Speaker B: How does that mean no, thank you? How does that mean? I don't see how that means, what's a better way of doing that? Sitting down and suffering through an hour. [01:14:25] Speaker A: And a half sitting down be like, hey, your pictures don't look like you said, and I think it's kind of fucked up. I'm going to take off. Yeah, it's not worth your time. [01:14:32] Speaker B: You know what she did. So thank you. [01:14:34] Speaker A: No, thank you. That must be the la. And you, because that's not a small town attitude right there. [01:14:43] Speaker B: You don't know Midwest? Did you grow up in the Midwest? [01:14:46] Speaker A: No, I know a lot of people from the Midwest. [01:14:47] Speaker B: Well, they ask them. They do it, too. [01:14:48] Speaker A: No, they're real nice. They would have said thank you. I'm sorry. [01:14:51] Speaker B: No, thank you is the most polite thing I could have said. [01:14:53] Speaker A: Nah, man, you talk about the south. No, thank you. Awake. [01:14:56] Speaker B: Ice cream dates. [01:14:57] Speaker A: Yes. Ice cream dates are 100% yes. That one is a no. Come on. Ice cream dates are dates. [01:15:02] Speaker B: I love ice cream. [01:15:03] Speaker A: Ice cream's. Great. [01:15:03] Speaker B: So what's wrong with that? Why can't it be on the list? [01:15:05] Speaker A: I can't be, like, your only thing. Because, like I said, it's not a restaurant and you're in this brightly lit, small thing. You go and get ice cream. [01:15:12] Speaker B: You want to walk with your ice cream. You have a long walk. Ice cream talk. [01:15:15] Speaker A: What if you wanted a cone? [01:15:16] Speaker B: Then you lick it while you fucking walk. [01:15:18] Speaker A: No, that's dumb. I always get in that. [01:15:20] Speaker B: I get in a bowl anyway. [01:15:21] Speaker A: Yeah, because you're a bowl leader. It shows. All right? You get your ice cream in a. [01:15:24] Speaker B: Bowl and it shows. You looked me up and down. [01:15:27] Speaker A: You eat your shit out of a bowl. Everyone knows. Jesus. Anyway, family functions. That's a fucking risky move. [01:15:35] Speaker B: That's a no. That's just a stupid date. Nobody's family is fun. [01:15:40] Speaker A: No, man, first date. Like, hey, my name's Obi. I want you to come to my. [01:15:44] Speaker B: Mom and my dad. [01:15:45] Speaker A: I want you to watch me get roasted for a few hours. This is your first date? [01:15:50] Speaker B: Yo, my son is trash. I'm so sorry. [01:15:54] Speaker A: OOH. You know, obi. I'm sorry. Yuck. [01:15:57] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. No, I'm good. [01:15:58] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. That's not a movie night, so movie night. Movie theaters, I think, has always been a bad idea for a first date. [01:16:04] Speaker B: Because you can't talk. [01:16:05] Speaker A: And I remember I explained this to a girl that I swiped on once, and she's like, hey, you want to go see a movie. And I said, not really. And she's like, oh, you're too good for movies. And I'm like, no, I want to get to know you. A movie is not a place to do that. And I remember this conversation because we ended up going to a bar and she wanted to go see a movie. I'm like, you just want to fucking go see a movie? We went and saw the movie, and it was pretty cool. Never spoke to her again. Never spoke to her again. But yeah, she just wanted me to pay for a movie she wanted to see. I think that's what it was. [01:16:36] Speaker B: I had girls that pick a restaurant that was really expensive to eat three bites and then get it all to go. And then let's do that again. And I was just like, you'll never see me. [01:16:46] Speaker A: Yeah, my dating life was pretty hard. But I'm out the game somewhere that requires a long drive. I can understand why women don't like this. Because danger, danger, danger, stranger danger, man. Yeah. [01:16:59] Speaker B: I mean, I would say I genuinely generally agree with this unless there's like a genuine circumstance. Back to the sports thing. [01:17:05] Speaker A: Well, like a game or you're going to Disneyland. [01:17:08] Speaker B: Yeah. You live in fucking Van Nuys and you want to go to the La. Rams game. That's an hour drive. [01:17:12] Speaker A: It's not a long distance. [01:17:14] Speaker B: Hour's a long drive. [01:17:15] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's not a long distance is what I'm saying, which I get. If you're in La. You're in your car for an hour no matter what, no matter where you're going. Bowling. [01:17:28] Speaker B: I think bowling is a great date. [01:17:29] Speaker A: I think bowling is a great date. But it's not a good first unless a girl brings it up. I think. Sorry. Because I don't mind. [01:17:38] Speaker B: That's the only thing to do. I'm down. [01:17:40] Speaker A: I just like you don't know if somebody's going to be good at bowling or not. [01:17:43] Speaker B: No, I'm saying the reason why it would work well for me on a first date is I'm trash at it. [01:17:48] Speaker A: I went on a double date with this motherfucker when we threw axes. And it was fucking embarrassing for hold on. [01:17:55] Speaker B: It was only embarrassing because you're a fucking Viking. No, I actually did pretty good for my first time throwing axes. I beat both the women, first and foremost. I beat the brakes off of them. And I landed over half of the axe in the thing. You just over here throwing under your fucking leg, hitting the goddamn bullseye every fucking time. It was so embarrassing for Brennan. I'm like, you're a fucking nerd. Well, that's an axe nerd. [01:18:18] Speaker A: So that's the thing is like, if we went in there and he's like, oh, I'm not very good at this, that's fine. But Brennan cannot do anything without talking shit. [01:18:26] Speaker B: I cannot. [01:18:26] Speaker A: And so he showed up super confident. And I'm like, I'm not going to say shit because I know my skill level. [01:18:35] Speaker B: I had no idea what my skill level was. And I know that I'm a show of believing I can win. I believe I can win. And when I believe I can win, I'm going to talk shit, man. [01:18:43] Speaker A: You and Shannon are the same motherfucking person. [01:18:46] Speaker B: I will not. [01:18:48] Speaker A: That's it. I'm just saying you guys have the same fucking confident energy that comes from. [01:18:53] Speaker B: I don't know what I normally back it up, though. That's the thing. I normally back it up. And the thing is, if you had never axed on before, I probably would have been better. [01:19:01] Speaker A: No, I think so the last time. I guess so. I mean, you've done it before at that point. [01:19:07] Speaker B: Well, now, yeah, I'll go again. [01:19:09] Speaker A: Okay, good. All right. We'll get it. All right. So, nightclubs, how about you? How do you feel about that? No, absolutely not. [01:19:16] Speaker B: Absolutely not. [01:19:16] Speaker A: Dumbest thing I've ever heard. [01:19:17] Speaker B: Don't even go into detail on that hookah bar also. [01:19:20] Speaker A: No, for me, I don't like hookah. [01:19:22] Speaker B: But if I did, I would be open to it. I like hookah, but just like, it's the ultimate opportunity. [01:19:26] Speaker A: I've never been to a nice hookah bar. [01:19:28] Speaker B: I've been a nice hookah in Atlanta. They have a really nice a lot. [01:19:31] Speaker A: Of okay, never mind. I've been to a nice one in Vegas. [01:19:34] Speaker B: But like, yeah, La doesn't have the nicest hookah. But point being is that if it's a nice hookah bar and she likes hookah and you like hookah, then I don't see why it's not a good date. [01:19:42] Speaker A: All right. What about a bar just for drinks? [01:19:45] Speaker B: I've done that a bunch of times. It works. [01:19:48] Speaker A: I think it's a bad idea. And I know where women are coming from there as well, because it can get out of hand very quickly. [01:19:55] Speaker B: Yeah, but for me it works because I'm not a big drinker. Yes. The only time it's ever got out of hand is when I go to a bar with a girl who literally is an alcoholic. You know what I'm saying? And it's like she's just like, all right, another one, another one, another one. Then she's like, let's fuck. And I'm just like, whoa, I went. [01:20:09] Speaker A: On a date with a girl that had three margaritas in an hour. [01:20:13] Speaker B: Give her three margaritas, she gonna give you some head. Shout out to angel. She's the homie. [01:20:18] Speaker A: Yeah, that shit didn't happen. But I'll tell you what did happen, is this woman started acting like slurry and a fool in the bar. And I was like, oh, shit. Okay. I'm going to walk this guy. Like, hey, do you need to ride home? And she's like, no, I drove him around the corner. And I was like, you drove here? And I was being very passive aggressive. [01:20:36] Speaker B: About like, you shouldn't drive. Stop driving. [01:20:38] Speaker A: I was like, yo, that's real dumb. I just had a couple of drinks. I'm like, you had three fucking big ass margaritas. [01:20:47] Speaker B: I responsibly. Cannot let you drive right now. [01:20:49] Speaker A: Yeah. And I realized right in that moment that I was arguing with somebody I just met, and I just walked away. I just walked away. I was like, okay, goodbye. She'll make it home. Whatever. [01:20:58] Speaker B: Waffle House? Definitely not. And the sporting event. [01:21:01] Speaker A: Well, yeah, that sporting. Like I'm saying, if a girl says no yeah, obviously not. I'm not going to say, like, hey, you should come to a Laker game with me. I have no idea. And that's an thing, too. Like, going to a Laker game is different than going to a Clipper game. Or like, a fucking Clippers are great. [01:21:19] Speaker B: God, I'm going to Clipper game on Tuesday. Thank you very much. [01:21:22] Speaker A: When have the Clippers ever been great? Oh, my God. I can't wait to get these motherfuckers out of my stadium. I can't wait for these motherfuckers to get out of my stadium. I can't wait. Okay. Get the fuck out of my stadium. [01:21:33] Speaker B: All right. When the Clippers win a championship I don't want to hear shit from you when they're going to yeah. [01:21:40] Speaker A: Same times the Lions win a bowl. [01:21:43] Speaker B: Steve Bomber is going to make it happen. It's going to happen. [01:21:45] Speaker A: Oh, great. Yeah. I don't even want to get into how annoying it is that they get a fucking stadium. They haven't won a championship and they get a fucking stadium that I had to fucking pay for. The taxpayers paying for stadiums is fucking ridiculous. [01:21:59] Speaker B: I agree with that. We shouldn't have to pay for stadiums. [01:22:01] Speaker A: The fact that they just built one and they're lying to themselves. They're lying to themselves. [01:22:07] Speaker B: They're going to win. [01:22:08] Speaker A: They're lying to themselves thinking that this is going to be economic growth for that part of town. It's right next to a goddamn airport. [01:22:19] Speaker B: It technically is definitely going to be economic. But either way, I say sporting events. [01:22:25] Speaker A: No, it's not. Yes, it is. It is not. [01:22:27] Speaker B: 100% it will be. [01:22:28] Speaker A: It is not. Okay? [01:22:28] Speaker B: So if you're telling me if you have a restaurant that's a quarter of a mile from there, you're not going to get more fucking people to go to the restaurant? [01:22:35] Speaker A: It's not going to happen. [01:22:36] Speaker B: Yes or no? [01:22:37] Speaker A: All those restaurants are getting shut the fuck down, bro. [01:22:39] Speaker B: So I'm saying the restaurants that will be there, like the Buffalo, Wild Wing. [01:22:43] Speaker A: Whatever you're going to do on your. [01:22:44] Speaker B: First mad economic benefits because people going to the games are going to want to have dinner before the game. I do that shit all the time. I go downtown and I find a restaurant near the stadium. I eat before the game, and then I go to the game. I spend money in the area because I'm going to the game. I do that on every sporting events I've ever been to. I buy shit in the area because I'm going to the game. So it definitely has economic benefit in that space. And you can help hold fucking shit there. [01:23:08] Speaker A: Exact opposite. I always make sure we eat before we head to the game. [01:23:11] Speaker B: I always want it's like an experience for me. I want to be in the whole area for a while. [01:23:16] Speaker A: Okay. [01:23:16] Speaker B: Also, sporting events are a good date. [01:23:18] Speaker A: You think so? [01:23:19] Speaker B: Definitely. Like, baseball games and shit. I've done baseball games because first of. [01:23:22] Speaker A: All, they're you know what? I have done a baseball game for a first date that was suggested by this chick. And it was time. It was I got kicked out of the game. What did you so I this girl's like, hey, do you want to go to a baseball game? And I'm like, first of all, I'm up in the bay at this time. All right? I'm up in the bay. So I'm like, no, I don't want to go. She's like, no, it's going to be great. We got great know they're corporate seats. We're gonna go see the Giants versus the fucking Yankees. I'm like, I hate both these fucking teams. So we're in the chase seats behind the catcher. We're like four rows up. These are fantastic seats. So I did what any other Dodger fan would do. Every single dude that showed up to the plate, I booed him. Yeah. I was like, boo. You suck. Boo. Go Dodgers. I wore my and you know, this chick was having fun. I was like, yo, I told her before, like, I'm gonna be a problem. I'm a fan. Yeah, like, you're taking me to the worst thing ever, but I'm going to have fun with you. Blah, blah, blah. [01:24:23] Speaker B: She was enjoying your boing. [01:24:24] Speaker A: Yeah, she was like it was funny. And then security swarmed the fourth inning. The security was like, yo, you got to go. Like, what? It's a baseball game. Well, you're disturbing everyone else. And I was like, there's nobody around me. Yeah, there's nobody because these are the chase seats. So there's nobody around me. It's like their 7th eigth game of the season or some shit. It was very bad for being black. Yeah. So they escorted me out, and we left early, and they went to a bar. [01:24:56] Speaker B: Good times. [01:24:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:24:57] Speaker B: Good time. Yes. [01:24:58] Speaker A: Sporting says no, so for the record, it's a no. [01:25:00] Speaker B: So yeah. [01:25:01] Speaker A: You just did not work. [01:25:01] Speaker B: You're just a hater. [01:25:02] Speaker A: It didn't work. [01:25:04] Speaker B: Thing is, I think that there is legitimacy to this list. [01:25:06] Speaker A: Yes. [01:25:07] Speaker B: But I do think that it's not a catch all. That's my point, is that there are a few on here that are definitely legitimately. I think good first dates, but the majority of them are bad first dates. [01:25:14] Speaker A: I think two of them are good first dates. Coffee. [01:25:16] Speaker B: What's the other one? Ice cream and coffee. [01:25:18] Speaker A: I think ice cream is not one church and coffee. I said bar for drinks would be one just for drinks and a coffee date. [01:25:30] Speaker B: I think those I had like six of them on there. [01:25:32] Speaker A: You had three of them on there. [01:25:33] Speaker B: I had hookah bar. I had bar for drinks, sporting event. I had cheesecake. I had Olive Garden. [01:25:41] Speaker A: You had Olive Garden? You had wingstop. [01:25:42] Speaker B: I'm going to go back on the Olive Garden one. I said wingstop. So here's what I had. A sporting event. [01:25:49] Speaker A: Oh. Buffalo. Wild wings. Yeah. Red Lobster. [01:25:51] Speaker B: Can I just fucking say my list, you piece of shit? [01:25:53] Speaker A: Yeah. I really want it on the record, so go ahead. [01:25:56] Speaker B: I had sporting events. [01:25:57] Speaker A: Okay. [01:25:58] Speaker B: Bar for drinks, hookah bar, bowling. [01:26:00] Speaker A: Yep. [01:26:01] Speaker B: Somewhere that requires a long drive, possibly.
