Speaker 3: stress of proposing if you didn't know, like we, like

71
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,160

72
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 3: the summer like we already. I mean, I would never

73
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: have asked her to marry me without having like discussed

74
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: it ahead of time. You know what? That sounds like

75

Speaker 3: the most stressful shit ever? Do people do that? Like?

76
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: Not disgusting it at all?

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: I guess the people that have been turned down, like

78
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: on television, we've seen it, people that haven't discussed it.

79
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: But that just seems crazy, like you have not discussed

80
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: marriage at all and then asking a big old question

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: like that.

82
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,960

Speaker 3: one kind of a personal question for Tyler from Kenny,

100
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: but he basically just wants to know, Tyler, what are

101
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 3: some good food spots in Richmond. He's down there a lot.

102
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 3: It's an elite food city, but he's trying to find

103
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: some different spots outside of his favorites. Oh hey, yeah,

104
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: this right up, my aslant.

105
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: Let's talk some fat boy shit. You know. You know,

106
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 4: one of the discussions we've always had.

107
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: Before, right is how Virginia is a very black state,

108
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: Richmond's a very black city, and we are very much

109
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: you know, we got the Chesapeake Bay there, the Atlantic

110
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: Ocean there.

111
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 4: We're very much in the seafood as well.

112
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: So you know something the restaurant I always mentioned that

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: it's just the perfect combination of those worlds. As Croker Spot,

114
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: I've mentioned that to y'all before. It's uh seafood soul

115
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: food theme spot and the like I mentioned, you know,

116
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: the fish boat is one of my favorite dishes. They

117
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: serve in the city where you can get like, you know,

118
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: fried catfish, froed flound or whatever, and they coated with

119
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: salted peppers and onions and then they put like their

120
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: house sauce over.

121
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: It's fucking delicious. So Crooked Spot is for sure the

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: one that I mentioned.

123
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: If you want to get like a real if you

124
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: want to get a spoonful of what Richmond tastes like like,

125
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: that's the spot. Jamaica House is my favorite Jamaican spot

126
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: that's on Broad Street. One of my favorite things to

127
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: do there because they've got like sidewalk down and so

128
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: like when the weather's nice, like you know, me and wife,

129
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: you just go out there just on like a random

130
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: ass Wednesday night and just post up out there and

131
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: eat outside and shit, it's fucking delicious. Ginger tie on

132
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: in in uh in Carrytown that's probably my favorite tied

133
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: food spot.

134
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 4: Big Tai food fan.

135
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know how how big a Rolls Spring

136
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: Rolls play in your life, but it's foundation on this side.

137
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: Bellows is a pretty cool spot too, if you're a

138

Speaker 2: younger dude who's like kind of in the mix. It's

00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: too clubby. Buzz and nads and ZZQ is probably the

159
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: best barbecue spots in the city.

160
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: We've got the spot called the Bodega that I love.

161
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: That's like a Latin breakfast spot. So like you go

162
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: there and you get like Cuban and Puerto Rican themed amis,

163
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: and shit is fucking delicious.

164
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: Tyler, how how often do y'all go out? Uh? Like,

165
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: like like in a given week, how many nights are

166
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: you out versuss like cooking.

167
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,560

Speaker 2: like spring and summer we are we out there bro

172
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: like like exploring restaurants in the city is one of

173
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: my favorite things to do for sure.

174
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: Okay, are y'all over easing? Ah?

175
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: We did that every now and then, you know.

176
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: Okay, so you y'all basically cooking every night then for

177
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,200

Speaker 2: pick up some shit or but yeah, like I said,

180
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: like spring and summer, we really be out on those streets.

181
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: I love that. Kenny also had a question. And I

182
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: don't want to get too deep into this because I

183
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: feel like we should do this as a real topic

184
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 3: on a on a regular pod. But you know, it

185
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: was announced that the Wizards are moving to your state.

186
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 3: The governor of your state is intent on giving them

187
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: some tax dollars to help them fund the city essentially

188
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: that they're building. And he he's a Washington, DC resident,

189
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: but wanted your opinion on you guys now having to

190
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 3: bear the tax burden of Jordan Poole having Yeah.

191
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: Look, I'm fine with it because I I think the

192
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: Wizards provide a much needed service to this world, which

193
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: is laughter, right, So I am not mad at it.

194
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: They at never going to be shit, yes, but they

195
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: are kind of like you know, the Washington generals of

196
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: this shit where you know you're going to watch some comedy, right,

197
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: You're not really giving a fuck about seeing good basketball.

198
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: So I'm mad at it.

Speaker 3: we we were wearing a jersey for show.

221

Speaker 1: Yeah, so who would I don't know who would wear

00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: Mother key.

228
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I would think about getting that motherfucker today. That jersey

229
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: so damn hard. You feel what I'm saying?

230
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: Uh? His second question is is this is like when

231
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: you're picking out the presence under the tree for the

232
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: kids and then you're like, oh, and there's one for me,

233
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: he said. I referenced writing for the Golden Times magazine

234
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: in the past, but he wanted to know what my

235
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: white whale as a writer is as a dream topic

236
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: for an article or book. I actually wrote. That book

237
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: was a history of Long Beach Poly High School that

238
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: sold very well in Long Beach, thank you very much.

239
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: But the only public high school in California, maybe in

240
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: America that had race riots in the seventies when the

241
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: watch riots were happening, that still has white people. That

242
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 3: is not I think the term is like a mono

243
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: mono racial school. At this point, it's still a diverse school.

244
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: There's still white people there, there's still black people there,

245
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 3: Hispanic people. So, like learning about the history of how

246
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: black and white parent advocates and activists like came together

247
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: in the seventies after these race riots to like keep

248
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: the fabric of a community and a school together was

249
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: even though it's a small subject is one high school

250
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 3: and one city in one state or whatever, it was

251
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: really like illuminating for me about what it actually takes

252
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: to make the world better for everyone. And it was

253
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 3: also very disheartening because it's like completely impossible for me

254
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: to imagine any of the things that those people did

255
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 3: being carried out on any level of government today. But

256
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: like at the time, things were tense enough in Long

257
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: Beach that like they were meeting in Bixby Knowles, which

258
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 3: is like a really rich area, like white area of

259
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 3: Long Beach, and these parent meetings, they'd have one of

260
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: the black dads like stood guard with a gun at

261
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: the door because He was like, if we have some

262
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: people who are trying to run black people out of

263
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: Long Beach coming up, my wife isn't here at this meeting,

264
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: and they're not going to get to her without seeing

265
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: me first, you know what I mean. So like, that's

266
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 3: how much these people cared about we have to save

267
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: our high school. And I think it was like, I

268
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 3: don't know, it's a beautiful story. So I'm fortunate enough

269
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: to have kind of written that, which is why I

270
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 3: have stopped writing books because it is fucking exhausting. All right, Wait,

271
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: I want I want to speaking to that. Is it?

272
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: Because was it because like everybody was so invested in

273
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: the community in ways that people are not invested in

274
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: the in the in the country as a whole.

275
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, on a national level, I don't think, like, uh,

276
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: I'm obviously not the person to answer like that on

277
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: a national level, but yes, like I think it would. Yeah,

278
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: I think yes. I think that what is unique about

279
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 3: that high school and about Long Beach is that whereas

280
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: like in in Compton, for example, Compton was an all

281
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 3: white high school when the wats riots happened and there

282
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: were race rights of Compton High School, Like that's like

283
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: people don't understand that like Pete Roselle went to Compton

284
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: High School, you know what I mean, Like the the

285
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 3: NFL commissioner like they you know, and so, but when

286
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: they had race riots, you know that this was when

287
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: white flight was happening in the got they got the

288
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: fuck out of there, right, And so what was unique

289
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: in Long Beach was there were race riots and the

290
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: black parents and the white parents got together and said,

291
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: we don't want to do it. The white people don't

292
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: want to go to Lakewood like, they don't want to

293
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: they don't want to run out of here. And the

294
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: black people. What was fascinating to me reading the minutes

295
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: notes from these meetings was the black parents saying, I

296
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: don't even really want my kids going to school with

297
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: white kids, but I understand that if these white people

298
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 3: pull out of this school, my kid's not going to

299
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 3: have a good school to go to, right, right, we

300
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: need to And they were correct, Like if you look

301
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 3: at what poly Still is as I mean, that's an

302
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: inner city high school that produces IVY League and MIT

303
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: acceptances and all this shit every year. Like it's unique

304
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: because of the stuff that they did, but it's very

305
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: counter to the you know, what I think of is

306
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: like social media political philosophy of like everything is a

307
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: purity test. Everything is like you know, incremental progress is

308
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: always sort of shit on as like a compromise or something.

309
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: And it's like these are black parents who are literally

310
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: saying like I don't think that, you know, white people

311
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: are great or want my kids to be around them,

312
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: but I recognize them as a necessary source of funding

313
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: to keep my kids next to like they're a river,

314
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: like you know what I mean, Like if I'm going

315
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: to build my city, I want to build it next

316
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: to a river, so then we have those natural resources.

317
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: Like that was basically the approach, and they found enough

318
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: compromises that like a lot of the programs they came

319
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: up with magnet programs, there's a cross racial cultural like

320
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: human relations camp. They've all gone to a poly you know,

321
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: all these programs are still around. They don't have a

322
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 3: prom king and Queen at Polly because it turned into

323
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: like a race riot flashpoint of like all the white

324
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: kids voting for a white girl and all the black

325
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: kids voting for a black girl. So they have we

326
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: have international ambassadors there where it's basically one boy and

327
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 3: girl who are white one who are black, one who

328
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: are Hispanic, and they're the you know, they're sort of

329
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: elected by their group or whatever at the school. So

330
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 3: it's interesting longer than probably needs to be on the

331
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: mail bag. But the book is out there if you

332
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: want to get it.

333
00:15:49,440 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: As on him in the greatest segregation as well as.

334
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: South have black proms and white proms.

335
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: Bro like right, and and that's like and you go

336
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: to the polyprom and it's like this is I mean,

337
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: obviously it's not what conservatives dream, but to me that

338
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: that's what America is supposed to look like. It's every

339
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 3: possible combination of kid and they're all friends. They've all

340
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: known each other for four years. You go to college

341
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: and you find out how segregated is a college. It

342
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: was a real slap in the face for me because

343
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: it just wasn't how I wasn't my experience in high school,

344
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But I didn't realize how

345
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 3: unusual that was, Okay, Sterling Giles. Giles asks, Uh, what

346
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: artists do you embody most from your hometown? And I'm

347
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: very curious for your guys answer to that question, John,

348
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: you want me to go first.

349
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: Yes, I think the artists that I fuck with the most,

350
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: or that I feel most connected to.

351
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: It's probably, I say, Smino.

352
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I think Smino probably is

353
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: more of Mava than anybody else. I mean, I don't

354
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: agree with that, Yeah, you know what I mean, Like like,

355
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's more a generational too, like you know,

356
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: Nelly's older, like and Nellie. You know that's obviously not

357
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: all the way my thing, but like you know, I

358
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: do respect who he is and what he's done for

359
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: the city. But I mean the person who I think motion, motion, body,

360
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: the motion, you know, you know, connect with, it's probably Smino.

361
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, pick it's me cool as cool.

362
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 2: I really ain't compared myselfing to's due because he's a

363
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 2: god in my eyes, and that would be DiAngelo. I feel, like,

364
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: you know, D'Angelo is. I think you could say he's

365
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: perhaps the greatest male neo soul artist ever, right, Like

366
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if that's hometown bias, but

367
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: I'm just extremely high on Dangelo. But I will say

368
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: what I relate to DiAngelo, you know a lot on

369
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: is He's someone who never wanted the spotlight. That dude

370
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: despises fame, like he was a recluse who gate went

371
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: you know, fucking thirteen years between voodoo and a Black Messiah, right,

372
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: Like he's someone who hated the spotlight, who just wanted

373
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: to do his thing, just make music. He didn't give

374
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: a shit about the glitz and the glamor that came

375
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: with it. So I, for shortly, that's you as a motherfucker.

376
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: I know the way you understand music though, you know

377
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I'm not you know, like I

378
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: know he's a you know, genius level, but like, yeah,

379
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: for you, like as a normal human being that's not

380
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: in industry or not doesn't play instruments, you have a

381
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: great understanding for music and the industry, you know what

382
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

383
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 3: So I think that makes sense too. Okay, we got

384
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 3: a great email from da Kwan Shanks who it just

385
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 3: basically has a little paragraph on what it's like being

386
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: a Pistons fan. And I want to read this because

387
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: I do think this is part of what why sports

388
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: still matter on an emotional level to me, and I

389
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: think to so many people is you know we remember

390
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: like post Katrina, the Super Bowl, that the Saints one.

391
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: It's I think it's become kind of a cliche. I

392
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: certainly hated after school shootings when it's like we have

393
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: to play a high school football game and get a

394
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 3: sense of normalcy. Like some of that shit's bullshit, but

395
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: it is genuinely true that whether your teams are being

396
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: successful or not, it affects the mood of like a

397
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: whole city. And like this is like a very emotional

398
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 3: testimony from the Quomity says what up? Though? I was

399
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 3: listening to the show yesterday and y'all wanted to know

400
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: how a regular ass fan feels about the Pistons. Let

401
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: me tell you. They are trash as hell. They're wearing

402
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: city jerseys inspired by the Bad Boy Pistons, the team

403
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: of my youth. I so want them to Dage Lambier

404
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: and Mahorn to rip those colors off of them because

405
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 3: they don't deserve to wear them. They have negative twenty

406
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: in the heart department. It would be one thing if

407
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 3: they weren't good, but they aren't even trying now. The

408
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 3: lineups are ass. Why would anyone start killian A is

409
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: over Jade and Ivy. I feel like Monty Williams is

410
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: just collecting checks and the owner gives less than a fuck.

411
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: At this point, I give up on the game by

412
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 3: the second quarter. Troy Weaver has to come up with

413
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 3: a semblance of a plan or he needs to be unemployed,

414
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: and I hate seeing black men on the unemployed line.

415
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 3: The happiest moment of this season was when I got

416
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: free tickets from work to take my dad to a game.

417
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: The experience was great, but the team's performance was super trash.

418
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: The only thing that we have left is hope. A

419
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: lot of us are Lions fans, so we know about

420
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 3: long suffering. We'll just wait until Cave leaves and becomes

421
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: a superstar elsewhere. Well we stay in the lottery.

422
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 4: God damn, bro, that's crazy.

423
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, hey, hey, we are witnessing some historic

424
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: shit going on right now, this Pistons loser streak, and

425
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: I feel like we have to, you know, speak on

426
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: the magnitude of that in real time so the record

427
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: reflects it. But you know, the Pistons weren't always like this,

428
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 2: you know, of course, you know he mentioned the bad

429
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: boys Pistons like, you know, they were a fucking sprain

430
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: ankle away from you know, pulling off a three pete.

431
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 4: They won two out of three. They had a hell

432
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 4: of a run.

433
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 2: The fucking the bad boys too, as they called him,

434
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 2: you know, the Chauncey squad, the Rip Hamilton squad, you know,

435
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: Ben Wallace and all them. They were a problem. You know,

436
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: they are a team that beat the Lakers. Like if

437
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: their team that was a game seven away from going

438
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: back to back against the Shack Lakers, Shaq and Kobe

439
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: Lakers and the Tim Duncan Spurs, right, Like, if they

440
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 2: pull that game seven off, we are talking about them,

441
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: you know, on the pantheon of like all time great teams,

442
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 2: you know. So, I mean, yeah, you know, y'all are

443
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: going through some bullshit right now, but you know, y'all

444
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 2: do have some glory yet to look back on.

445
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 4: Might have been twenty thirty years ago, but you.

446
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Know, I think the thing about them is, like he said,

447
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: there's a lack of effort. And the thing that we

448
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: always saw with the good Pistons teams was how much

449
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: how hard they played, right, And I was listening.

450
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 3: To like, and that's the identity of their city, like

451
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 3: that that's part of it. Yeah, you know, like that

452
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 3: was the identity, right And.

453
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: I was listening to Mark Jackson, he was talking about

454
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: like how he would like how he kind of worked

455
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 1: with you know Oakland, you know, the Golden State when

456
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: they were I think seventeen years without going to the

457
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: playoffs and shit, and he said the thing that they

458
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: focused on was being the hardest working team out there.

459
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: That's what they can control, you feel me?

460
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: And then he said like and then it got to

461
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: the point where they have better players they drafted and

462
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: were like, Yo, we'll work on each matchup as far

463
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: as accountability, and my matchup is the other coach, you

464
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: feel me? Like making sure that he had to be

465
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: a he was held accountable for how he coached the

466
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: squad as well, and it was just like the steps

467
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: that were taking but I mean him talking about how

468
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: he would have like, Yo, we just can We're gonna

469
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: make sure we're the hardest work team. That's all we

470
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: can do now because we just don't have the guys.

471
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: We're very young, we don't have the experience, and it

472
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: had to be. It has to be rough seeing especially

473
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: being in Detroit, you know what I mean, where like,

474
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: like I said, the teams that they have won have

475
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: been so hard working where they don't even care. Now

476
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: you're putting an effort in to try to win, and

477
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: that's the only way that they can potentially win because

478
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: they don't have the guys right.

479
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: Now, you know well, And I like, I'm interested in

480
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 3: that emotional side of sports. I've watched at this point.

481
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: I actually won't say the number of Pistons games I've watched,

482
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 3: but it's shocking to me that they have it. I

483
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: agree with his assessment. It looks like they've surrendered. And

484
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean, that is such a unique

485
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: thing in pro sports, Bro, I don't know the last

486
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: time I could think of, like, I don't know's he's

487
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: right by the second quarter. It's just like, MANI is

488
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 3: sitting down, br I don't know, Bro, it's crazy.

489
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: And he talked about his bringing his dad there too,

490
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: and he's probably a Pistons fan because of his dad.

491
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: Nobody's a Pistons fan because they decided there's nobody in

492
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: LA or like fucking Saint Louis and like.

493
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 3: Those fucking Detroit Pistons, man, you know what I mean, Like,

494
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 3: I just love the Detroit basketball thing.

495
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: It's a city or it's passed down to you, you

496
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: feel me, And yeah, just for them to see that

497
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: them not caring.

498
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 3: You know, it has to ask to hurt. Yeah, we

499
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: have an email from Garrett G who just got married

500
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: and he and his wife are about to start trying

501
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 3: for their first kid, and he wants to know first

502
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: of all, I wish you luck, my boy, He says,

503
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: he wants to know what advice you'd have for a

504
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: new dad, but specifically something you wish you knew before

505
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: you had children. We you know, we always try and

506
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: give a little bit of a different answer to those questions.

507
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: My thing would just be you just got married recently

508
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 3: to your wife. I don't know how long you guys

509
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 3: have been together, but like do some stressful shit together

510
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 3: and learn how to laugh at it before you you know.

511
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: I mean for my wife and I getting pregnant was

512
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: this stressful thing we had to learn to laugh. That

513
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: took us a couple of years aget pregnant with our son.

514
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: And so just like you're gonna at some point be

515
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: making eye contact with the woman you love with poop

516
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: on your body. So like, just let you know, dud,

517
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: whatever it is. If you got, if you're moving, you're

518
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: building furniture together or whatever, but like, you know, find

519
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 3: find ways to get some reps, especially if you haven't

520
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: been together that long, not just getting through annoying or

521
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: difficult things, but finding ways to like laugh at them

522
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 3: and have fun with it.

523
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: And I think I think you wanted to know what

524
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: Tyler and and Jackson thought too, because he just respects,

525
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, their opinions as well. But uh, for me,

526
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: I will it's gonna sound like I'm saying this and

527
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: it's like in a in a in a way that

528
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna sound scary, but us I'm not saying because

529
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: it's scary, So you know, bear with me for a second.

530
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: Therapists have said that having a kid is equal to

531
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: dropping a bomb in your relationship, and the reason is

532
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: because it changes everything. It's not because it's you know,

533
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: like it's just like you're gonna change. You're a different person,

534
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: your your your your wife's gonna be a different person.

535
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: The relations is gonna be very different, and so it's

536
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna be some time for you to like figure out

537
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: who you are and put the pieces together and figure

538
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: out who you are as a dad, you know what

539
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, And who your wife is as a mom.

540
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: You know, it changed you in such a big way.

541
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: And so what I would say is be gentle with yourself,

542
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: give yourself some time. Be gentle with each other. You

543
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you know, be compassionate with one another,

544
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: because it's not easy. It's beautiful, it's always beautiful, it's

545
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: always purposeful, but oftentimes, particularly the first year, it's not easy.

546
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: And after the first year gets so much easier. To

547
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 3: John on his daughter's first birthday, I just gave him

548
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: a hug and say congratulations, right right, or be harder

549
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: than the year you just did, and it's the.

550
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: Best too, but but give yourself some grace please, And

551
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: that would be the advice i'd give you.

552
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: All right. Question from Stephan Jones, who is the guy

553
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 3: who asked about jay Z the last time we did it,

554
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: and he wanted us to know that he's twenty nine.

555
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 3: But he said his question and we got to speed

556
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 3: these up actually a little bit, because we have a

557
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: lot of questions that are good. His question is no, no, no,

558
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 3: it's not a US on me. What are your favorite

559
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: mixtapes from the blog era? That's so many?

560
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: Krit was here comes to mind immediately, Crazy Summer twenty ten.

561
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: That shit just turned my whole fucking world upside down.

562
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: I would have to do currencies like Pilot Talk series

563
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: up there too, can't talk to the blog era and

564
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: of course you know how fly currency and Whiz.

565
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 3: That was one of the two that he mentioned, by.

566
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: The way, Yeah, yeah, you know Cushion Orange shees that

567
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: were talking Wiz. I personally think, what's the ship that

568
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: came after? Cushion Orange she was named after his high

569
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 2: schoo Taylor Oladyce. I think that I personally think that's

570
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 2: the best piece of work Wiz ever gave us over Cushion.

571
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 3: On the title song is his best song potentially ever

572
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 3: that album.

573
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 2: It's so fucking good. Of course, uh, the Bake Sale

574
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 2: cool Kids. Can't mission blog Arrow without the cool kids either.

575
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: You know, this is some you know Virginia ship. While

576
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: AT's mixtape about Nothing that's one of my favorite special

577
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah when when he linked with with Best Kept Secret,

578
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,280

00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: he had like the go Go theme music on that mixtape, Like, yeah,

580
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: that's for sure one of my favorites there too. Yeah yeah,

581
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 2: so so you know that's a handful of my favorite

582
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 2: tapes right there.

583
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean I would go with all those two. I'll

00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: also go with the Courage, Harry Fraud and currency tapes.

585

Speaker 1: Those are always fire. Cigarette Boats, Yeah, Cigarette Bats was

586
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,200

587
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,800

588
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that wasn't a mixtape, but I think it

589
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: was a it was a it was a it was

590
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,000

Speaker 1: know what I mean.

592
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of those albums that have reached that

593
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 2: status where it's like I associate that with Summer twenty

594
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: twelve so much in my head that whenever the weather

595
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: gets nice, I always go back to that album, right,

596

600
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: of those albums that, like, yeah, it gets thrown back

601
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: in the rotation every summer for sure as classic.

602
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 5: Young boy of the pod answer is acid rap and

603
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,480

Speaker 1: Yeah, acid Rap to me was like, is is your

610
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: Chance's best album? And I probably played that more that

611
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 1: in the Yello album I planned to play more than

612
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: any other album.

613
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: But acid Rap was fucking incredible.

614
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: Aid might be the single best song he ever did?

615
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: What acid Rain might be the single?

616

00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,960

00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 3: true and there's magic and like blah blah, you know,

653

Speaker 3: or all the parents in the world love their kids

654
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 3: so much they're telling this story as a way to

655
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: like make things nice for like your little sister, for example,

656
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: and he was like, yeah, exactly, okay, cool. I didn't didn't.

657
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: I didn't believe in Santa after like four.

658
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was early as hell because bro, we grew

659
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: up in an apartment and I was like, Mom, how

660
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: was Sanna come here?

661
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 4: We don't have a chimney? What the fuck? You're like, yeah.

662
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: We had one closet, and I mean that's what the

663
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: present were hid, you know what I'm saying. So I

664
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: started asking my mom for clothes and five like, I'm like, yo,

665

Speaker 1: rebock pops.

667
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: I think black people have less of a tolerance for bullshit.

668
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: And I feel like like every white person who had

669
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: black friends, I know, we all found out Santa Claus

670
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 3: was not real from having black friends. I feel like

671
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: that that's a that's like a university universal growing up

672
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: in a diversity story. Also, I noticed white man ain't

673
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: give me no That's what I'm saying.

674
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,040

675
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 6: talking to us about the way he was raised in

676
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 6: the like depth of intelligence and like thought that he

Speaker 3: last year. Watching that movie for the first time in

728
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,440

Speaker 3: computer animation. It is the wildest shit possible. It is.

730
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,240

825
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 2: We all, there's been a dairy floating around that. That

826
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 2: home alone is like in a fucking you know, allegory

827
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 2: to the Vietnam War, and Kevin's supposed to be like

828
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: the Northern Vietnam.

829
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 3: For there's so much John job.

830
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 5: I saw someone do with like bringing him.

831
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,439
Speaker 2: The mats math and two adults should have fucking out

832
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: smarted this one kid, just like everyone thought America should

833
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 2: have won that war. But he fucking out smart. He

834
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 2: had the home field advantage.

835
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 4: You know. He used booby traps, which which the NBA.

836
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 3: Was known for doing.

837
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 4: Like, hey, what connect there?

838
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 3: Though? Who is John Candy in this allegory? Who who

839
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 3: are Kevin's parents? Who is the old man who lives

840
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 3: next door in the Vietnam allegory?

841
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: He ain't worried about that, bro, They're just worried about,

842
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, the main plot.

843
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 3: That's what they.

844
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 2: Talking about the Popps would be Russia there right because

845
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: they were rich as fun and Russia was bankrolling the NBA,

846
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: so that would probably be the Pops is rush.

847
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 3: This might be next year's whole Christmas episode. Is just

848
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 3: plushing that theory. Off Home Alone is still good money

849
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 3: to the kid. We watch Home Alone with the kids

850
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 3: every year. Every What's fun about it is every year

851
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 3: your kids get older, they find a different aspect of it,

852
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: funny or emotional. So Maya's at age where she's just

853
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: laughing at the carnage like when they you know, when

854
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 3: they got hit in the face with the paint can.

855
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 3: I always like flinch at that scene, and she was

856
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: just like cackling, you know what I mean, So that

857
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 3: she was the fucking flame.

858
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 4: Comedy the lit like eight year old me, dog, you're

859
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,479
Speaker 4: gonna tell me shit?

860
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 3: Sear and I look at each other and we just

861
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 3: are running joke. For the last ten years has just

862
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: been keeping count of how many times they would have died,

863
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like this.

864
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 5: Online like they brought on a doctor and they were

865
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 5: like twenty something times and they were also.

866
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 3: Bro as a man that just failed less than a

867
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 3: week ago.

868
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: The ice on the fucking steps would steps turn around?

869
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 6: There?

870
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 3: You feel me? Yep, one hundred percent. I will also

871
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 3: say probably the whitest thing about me is that every

872
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: year on Christmas Eve, I watch die Hard while I

873
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 3: wrap Christmas presents while shar is at church and the

874
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 3: kids are asleep.

875
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at die Hard, bro that I'm saying.

876
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: I would say, look like the ones now that are

877
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: just boom cople. You feel me like, Yeah, those aren't it?

878
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But they're good not the

879
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: old ones were.

880
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 3: Good for sure. Bro, Okay, we've got this is actually

881
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 3: a great uh. I think this is a younger listener

882
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 3: named Jared who's asking for Tyler to rescue him. He said.

883
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,959
Speaker 3: Tyler mentioned his day job and recruiting last mail bag,

884
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 3: thought it would be helpful for some of us. What

885
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 3: kind of stuff are employers looking for on a resume,

886
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 3: specifically volunteer work. Everybody says to have it on a resume,

887
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 3: But I don't know how helpful it is to have

888
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 3: volunteer hours at Ronald McDonald house when you're in software

889
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 3: management or something completely unrelated. What does volunteer work do

890
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 3: and how do you interpret on the other end?

891
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that is a good question because I can

892
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 2: honestly say, in all my years of recruiting, and you know,

893
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: I recruit tech like it positions, We've never cared about

894
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: volunteer work. I'm not at all saying that's not his

895
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: reality from whatever he's hearing. Maybe he's trying to get

896
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 2: into like project management or what have you, but that's

897
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 2: something we've never quite looked for. But you know, just

898
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: as some you know, overall advice, just bro, whatever you

899
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: have volunteered for, just put that ship down, spruce it up,

900
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 2: like you know, you mentioned, you know, if you volunteered

901
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: at Theron McDonald ho's like put that ship down and

902
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: you know, talk about how you know you help feed

903
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: the homeless or what have you there and just kind

904
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: of spruce that ship up there. But but yeah, like

905
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: I said, I personally can say that in all my

906
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: years of recruiting, volunteer experience has never really really matter

907
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: with us. We've never I've never had to like, you know,

908
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: check that box off when I've done my searches and

909
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: my sourcing. So yeah, okay, so he might be he

910
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: might be a new grad just kind of working through

911
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 2: the bullshit because you get fed a lot of bullshit

912
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 2: in college about what exactly employers are looking for.

913
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 3: So you know, yeah, I was gonna say, this sounds

914
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 3: to me like when I I've only ever had to

915
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: use a resume to apply for a job one time,

916
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 3: and it was bullshit, like because of what you just said.

917
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 3: It's like I was just on Google and like the

918
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 3: two thousand and six version of Google, like how to

919
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 3: make resume, you know what I mean, And it's like

920
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 3: the first thing that pops up, put a lot of

921
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 3: volunteer shit on there. You know, you're like, all right,

922
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get you know, like I don't know, bro,

923
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 3: all right, Craig cr underscore egg the Homie asks. He says,

924
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: happy hooka days from an old first of All tm

925
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 3: old shot up. He said, he's wondering if the boys

926
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 3: beat Spider Man two and if we loved every second

927
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: of it.

928
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 4: I haven't. I'm still fucking around. How far you got

929
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 4: on it?

930
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 3: I ran through that shit, dog, you beat that shit.

931
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 3: I'll beat it in like two weeks, and I got

932
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 3: to one hundred percent of it in like three weeks.

933
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: You know, I don't and I don't know. I don't

934
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: play games like that, but I was just like obsessed

935
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: with that shit, bro. So I'm just sitting here like

936
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 3: looking at you know when we're getting updates to talk

937
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 3: about updates. So I'm not gonna spoil anything for you, Tyler,

938
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 3: but some stuff. There's gonna be some updates that have

939
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 3: some extra fights with different people and stuff I'm very

940
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 3: excited about. So yeah, are you loving it? Are you

941
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 3: you haven't finished?

942
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just yeah, I'm just bullshitting and swing through

943
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: the city doing side missions and ship like. That's where

944
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: I'm at with it. I haven't even really locked back

945
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: into the fucking plot or whatever.

946
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 3: But that's how it took me three years to be

947
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 3: red Dead too, because I would just go picking flowers

948
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 3: for like a month, you know what I mean, Or

949
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: like I spent two months just hunting tod. Did you

950
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 3: ever do Reddad?

951
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 2: I'll never be read Dead either. Like I don't necessarily

952
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 2: need to beat video games. Yeah, yeah, they're just more

953
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: so of an escape, just something to put my brain

954
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: on cruise control.

955
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 3: How far did you get on Read Thead? Did you

956
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 3: start the second half of Reddad? Did you? Or did

957
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 3: you not get to because it's basically two different games.

958
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember I got to the part where he

959
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 2: was like, you know, living with that camp with that family,

960
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 2: that was like camping.

961
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: The second part, yeah, when the first niggas no neither,

962
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: when the first dude died, and then you had this yeah,

963
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: okay cool, oh was so mad.

964
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 3: But anyway, Sky sneaks. We got a couple of different

965
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 3: versions of this question, but this is Cheese's slice on Twitter.

966
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 3: He said, the funniest shit I've been following this season

967
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 3: is Tyler's running count of the Wizards doing dumb shit.

968
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 3: That boy is a fucking prophet. He's not a prophet,

969
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 3: he's the damis all right? Uh, he says, since we

970
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 3: already have our shooting garden, power forward in Pool and coups,

971
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 3: how would you round out the rest of the NBA

972
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,479
Speaker 3: all ridiculous team? Could be current or all time?

973
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 2: Oh shit, listen, if we're going all time like, we

974
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 2: can just go to the Wizards like we can. We

975
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 2: can just roll out an all Wizard squad and handed

976
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: this is one shot we can put. We can put

977
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 2: Gilbert at the one, we can put Pool at the two.

978
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 2: We can put motherfucking Nick Young at the three. We

979
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: can put motherfucking you know of of pool at the four.

980
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 3: We can put.

981
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: Fucking JaVale mcgay or Andre Blotch, whoever you want at

982
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 2: the five.

983
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 4: Like, bro, like there we have it. It's that easy.

984
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 4: Just just off former Wizards bro on my all time.

985
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 3: I have to put javal McGee just because he was

986
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 3: so and I love Javil McGee is like a as

987
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 3: a personal player, but he was so ridiculous for so

988
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 3: long that shocked and a fool almost turned into like

989
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 3: bullying just because of like how much material he had.

990
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 3: That was fucking ludicrous. So I got I got the

991
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 3: All Wizard's team with Tyler with Javail off the bet.

992
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 2: Did you did you ever see that clip when when

993
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: Javal McGee's team got an offensive rebound and Javel was

994
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 2: running back on the because I forget who the point

995
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 2: guard was, but the point guard picked up.

996
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 4: His dribble and just looked at that man like, what

997
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 4: are you doing?

998
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 3: We gotta find that point that point guard was.

999
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Javeail was hilarious.

1000
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 3: Bro.

1001
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: Have y'all seen this slow motion clip a Jordan Poole

1002
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: where he comes off the screen and you know how

1003
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: like these slow motion clips and dudes that are like

1004
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: like this showing like the some of this last part

1005
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: I was on the beauty of basketball, or slowing down,

1006
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: put some jazz, or like someb behind it. They sow

1007
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole, get the ball, spin off somebody and get

1008
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: it hit, find an open spot. Shoot that motherfucker. I'm thinking, like, Yo,

1009
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: this is gonna be crazy. I'm talking about over the rim,

1010
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: hit the backboard painfully hard, you know.

1011
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 3: And my mom asked me like, why don't do him

1012
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 3: like that? Bro? Like just all backboard And my mom

1013
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 3: asked like, why they doing him like that?

1014
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, Mom, you the Detroit Pistons are are trash,

1015
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: but like the Wizards are way more embarrassing for some reason. Yeah, bro,

1016
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: like that that. George, it's been insane to see this week.

1017
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 3: Did you okay? We just got a couple more here.

1018
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 3: Keith uh Keith from Ontario asks if you got into

1019
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 3: some freak comic book accident that gave you superpowers, what

1020
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 3: power would it be? And then I like this more,

1021
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 3: how do you think the accident would have went down?

1022
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 3: I e. Tyler had a random grill blow up and

1023
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 3: now he can turn into fires. A question that is creative,

1024
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 3: so inventive. Yeah, listen.

1025
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 2: I would just want to power that can like I

1026
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: can't make money from.

1027
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 4: I want to care about fighting crimes. I'm not gonna

1028
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 4: lie to you.

1029
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 2: I would just want some shit where I can like

1030
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,479
Speaker 2: see the future so I can like, you know, cash

1031
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: out out of casino over gambling or some shit like

1032
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: Or if I had like a superhuman power, like if

1033
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 2: I was like super fast, I could like fucking go

1034
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 2: to the NFL or be a track star and make

1035
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of bread like that or something. But I

1036
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 2: would like I would not be out here taking it

1037
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 2: to the streets. I'm gonna tell you that, motherfucker. We

1038
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 2: getting paid. We are getting away from the streets. We

1039
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 2: go to the hills.

1040
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 3: You're reading The Spider Man where he gets into pro

1041
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 3: wrestling when he first gets his powers, and you're.

1042
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: Like, yes, yes, I don't know how it happened, but

1043
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: I think flying bro I just always like admire that

1044
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: sense of freedom. I mean, they don't birds are dumb

1045
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: for the most part, so they don't understand how you know,

1046
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,240
Speaker 1: they probably don't feel that, but yeah, that sense of freedom,

1047
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: being able to fly, I want to feel that, So

1048
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: I think that's the power I want.

1049
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 3: I don't know how that would have happened. Yeah, you know,

1050
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 3: your baby in the air and then suddenly you're you're

1051
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 3: both flying or something. I don't know. Yeah, well I

1052
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 3: don't know. Yeah, yeah, okay, I don't know.

1053
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 4: A radioactive fly bites you bro.

1054
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 5: I definitely the power that I would like is definitely

1055
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 5: to fly.

1056
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 3: I feel like I missed.

1057
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 5: I interpreted the question differently where I was like, what

1058
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 5: is something that I'm doing that I do oftentimes that

1059
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 5: like would result in a freak accident where I would

1060
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 5: get a power of some kinds, And the only thing

1061
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 5: I was thinking there is kim My girlfriend always complains

1062
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 5: about how I'm like constantly like injured in some way,

1063
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 5: Like I have a knees sprain, I got a wrist problem,

1064
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 5: I like to speak my back, I like do I like,

1065
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 5: just like minor ship that I'm always getting hurt. So

1066
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 5: I feel like it would probably be like me like

1067
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 5: getting hurt in some weird way and then developing with

1068
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 5: Wolverine's like regenerative powers like the opposite, you know.

1069
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: Now, rephrasing the question in that way, reframing it in that.

1070
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: Way, I'm always like fighting against bugs in a golf course,

1071
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: like I had bad against fucking Japanese beetles and fucking

1072
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: bees and ship where I'm trying to slap them out

1073
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: the air with clubs. It happens sometimes sometimes most time

1074
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: I missed, and I just look silly as fuck. But

1075
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: maybe I like fight a Japanese beetle and like a

1076
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: swarm of them attacks me, and I get that regenerative

1077
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: power from like, you know, fighting my body fighting back

1078
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: against you know, getting this ass beat by Japanese beetles.

1079
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 3: So I like, uh, I like Tyler's you get bit

1080
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 3: by a radioactive fly and then you can fly, but

1081
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 3: you also find ship to be super delicious, you know,

1082
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:39,480

Speaker 3: But but anyway, Okay, we just got a couple of

1093
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 3: questions left here. Jasper asks, Uh, any books we've read

1094
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 3: recently that we'd recommend. Uh, he loved. He loved when

1095
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 3: we're doing the book clubs and he's curious to hear

1096
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,479
Speaker 3: about good reads lately. I know, John just read Warmth

1097
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 3: of other Sons.

1098
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: Warmth of other Sons, and we talked about that, like, yeah,

1099
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I you see, the Warmth of other Sons

1100
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 1: is such as you could you could tell she put

1101
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: fourteen years of information of of research into it, right,

1102
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? But for me, like and

1103
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: and it was so informative when they're talking about, you

1104
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, a great migration and where they're

1105
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: coming from, like Louisiana going to Cali, you know what

1106
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Mississippi going up to you know, Chicago, and

1107
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: then Florida going to like Detroit, say, based on the

1108
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: railroad lines. That was really interesting. But I was talking,

1109
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I was talking to Mike about this, about

1110
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: how she really made the pin backflips when she fucking

1111
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: sent these people home.

1112
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 3: It follows their entire it starts.

1113
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: From the beginning of their lives and then she's with

1114
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: them like the last what fifteen years of their life?

1115
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: But like that, that was was beautiful the way she

1116
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: sent them off to that.

1117
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 3: So it's the best nonfiction book I've ever read. I mean, yeah,

1118
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 3: i'd have to say so.

1119
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: And I think item may I learned so much from

00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: that kid, that person is, from how she approached life, right,

1121

00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 2: I usually read about I'm not in a crazy avid

1162
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: book reader, but I usually read like three or four

1163
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: year but I'm been slipping this year.

1164
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 3: Though, Yeah, I read this year. I spent most of

1165
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 3: the year doing a book club with my friend Ryan.

1166
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 3: We read all of the Game of Thrones books, uh,

1167
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 3: starting with Fire and Blood, and then we read the

1168
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 3: actual Song of Ice and Fire and everything else, and

1169
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 3: I've never I'm not really a fantasy sci fi dude.

1170
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 3: It's more like literary fiction or nonfiction stuff. But I've

1171
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 3: never had more fun reading, Like it's just I love

1172
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 3: a book with a map, I love a book with

1173
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 3: people that it's just I don't know the whole thing.

1174
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 3: It was really not to be one of those annoying people,

1175
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 3: but it truly was like a much deeper experience than

1176
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 3: the show was. It's one of my favorite shows ever.

1177
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 3: But the book I would sell people on right now,

1178
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 3: it's called The Reformatory. It's by Tanana Reevedo, which is

1179
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 3: Shar's aunt, my wife's aunt. But she is a kind

1180
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 3: of a legendary black horror writer. She wrote the introduction

1181
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 3: to all of Jordan Peele's stuff for Get Out. She

1182
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 3: teaches a class on black horror at UCLA that he's

1183
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 3: come and spoken at. And The Reformatory is a horror

1184
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 3: book she's been working on for like a decade plus

1185
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 3: about It's based on the true story of this horrible

1186
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 3: reformatory school that was used basically in Florida as a

1187
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 3: like a Thirteenth Amendment type of a like they're putting

1188
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 3: black boys, you know, and kids in there and then

1189
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 3: they're sort of doing like forced labor and stuff like that.

1190
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,399
Speaker 3: But this book is like unbelievably beautiful. Stephen King's son

1191
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 3: said he thought it was the book of the decade.

1192
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 3: Wow Entertainment Wiggley put it up there with the Shining

1193
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 3: as like the best American horror books ever written. It's

1194
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 3: a singular work of art, and she is one of

1195
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 3: the best people you'll ever meet as well. But she's

1196
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 3: she's getting a lot of flowers for that book right now,

1197
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 3: and she very much deserves them. So that's that's my

1198
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 3: recommendation to anyone who's looking for a kind of a

1199
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 3: unique book to give to someone. Okay, we got two left.

1200
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 3: Justin Smith says one has anyone ever told John that

1201
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 3: he has some serious acting chops? I felt like I

1202
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 3: was watching an episode of Atlanta during the twelve on

1203
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 3: Monday's trailer. It just all looks at tech. I just

1204
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 3: want to do it. I just wanted to and I'm

1205
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 3: just for that reason, just wanted to read that to you.

1206
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 3: But the real question was number two, Tyler. When the

1207
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 3: tweet left your hands, did you know that you would

1208
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 3: start a movement among Internet users of verbifying nouns with

1209
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 3: them titties is tittying tweet. People don't give you your

1210
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 3: flowers with that. I think we brought up. I didn't

1211
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:17,720
Speaker 3: know that.

1212
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: He was as I say, and I was like, that

1213
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: was because that was the only way to describe Rihanna titties.

1214
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 2: It was it was some It was some bitches like

1215
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 2: twenty twelve Rihanna. When I first job to do that,

1216
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 2: Joe was completely like that came from a spirit. No,

1217
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 2: but it was crazy because I remember that she was getting.

1218
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 3: Interviewed dot com slash at Jenkins and Jones for John's

1219
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 3: visceral reaction to remembering, really, do you remember the video

1220
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 3: Jackson Tyler, you're talking?

1221
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 7: Tyler understands Tyler's remember those titties they have bank And

1222
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 7: just so just for listeners who don't know, because I

1223
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 7: actually was friends with Tyler for several years before realizing

1224
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 7: that I had been partaking in a language thing that

1225
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 7: he coined.

1226
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 3: That them titties tittying was a tweet. Tyler wrote that, then, yes,

1227
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 3: verbifying nouns is obviously just something that you see all

1228
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 3: the time on the Internet. At this point, I was

1229
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 3: not aware that that came from Tyler, but it did.

1230
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 2: Hey, you know sometimes you know, the higher powers speak

1231
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 2: through you, Like, I don't know how much teditter I

1232
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 2: can take it. I felt like, you know, I was

1233
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 2: just a vessel in that moment, you know, for for

1234
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 2: a greater purpose.

1235
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: Did you know did you okay that being at is

1236
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: something that nobody had ever done before? Did you know

1237
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: all this about to go crazy? Did you know that?

1238
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 3: Or you just think it was a little, a little.

1239
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 4: I've got fucking what six hundred thousand?

1240
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 1: I know, I know, but Tyler, you know when you

1241
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: let some go to people going to react to not no,

1242
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: actually that's it.

1243
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 3: No, that's that's a that's a great question. What's your

1244
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 3: success rate of predicting, Like when you tweet something like, oh,

1245
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 3: that's kind of fucked my mentions up for two weeks,

1246
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 3: Like do you usually know or is it a surprise

1247
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 3: to you when sh it really pops off? It's it's

1248
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 3: a bit of both.

1249
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 2: Like sometimes I'm like, this is a heater, right, Like

1250
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 2: I know, you know, you know how fucking Larry Bird,

1251
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 2: you know, shot that last shot in three point condes

1252
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: and turned away before it dropped. Like sometimes I feel

1253
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 2: like that when I get a tweet off sometimes I'm

1254
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 2: shot that some ship went off. Like my most viral

1255
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 2: tweet was there's an old clip from like the twenties

1256
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 2: of like a car that backed up by itself and

1257
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, why.

1258
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 4: Why did why do we not have this now or

1259
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 4: something like that?

1260
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 2: And that shit got like two million retweets, Like there's

1261
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:32,160

1264
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 3: instead of a G. Is that Herman or Herman? Do

1265

1267
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: Though it depends on where he's from, though it depends

00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: about him born in Nebraska's can Herman?

1269
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:01,200

1271
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 2: G though?

1273
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 3: not Jack. It's the word German, but then in parentheses

1274
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 3: it says with an H sound instead of a G. Okay,

1275
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's Herman herman.

1276
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 5: Otherwise he would have used a different word than I

1277
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 5: don't know. Maybe I'm thinking German just I would just

1278
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 5: swap it in. Okay, announce the rest of the word exactly.

1279
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 3: Okay, here's all of the intel I have. And this

1280
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 3: is a great question, so thanks for saving me. Here's

1281
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 3: all the intel I have. He has a T Mobile

1282
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 3: five G device because it says the email was sent

1283
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 3: from my T Mobile fived device.

1284
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 4: That sounds like a hermon. No, I don't know.

1285
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 3: He says. Since the season, what was the best Christmas

1286
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 3: gift y'all ever ever received, both as a kid and

1287
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:56,439
Speaker 3: as an adult? Wow? Wow, And I want Jackson stayed

1288
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 3: later than he was supposed to do. I want Jackson's

1289
00:58:58,120 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 3: answer to.

1290
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:01,959
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say really ungrateful, but like I can't really

1291
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 5: like think of one.

1292
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 3: On the top of my head. I think you sound

1293
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 3: like the little boy in the in the Dinosaur that

1294
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 3: pooped Christmas. You sound like the little the little ungrateful

1295
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 3: boy in the Dinosaur who pooped Christmas.

1296
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 4: That's what it sounds like.

1297
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 3: You got one.

1298
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 2: I think I think my favorite Christmas gift is probably, uh,

1299
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 2: when I got a Sega Genesis.

1300
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 3: Bro.

1301
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you gotta understand for one like video games

1302
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 2: that you can play at home or new at shit, right,

1303
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 2: like like like Nintendo was the first real home console

1304
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 2: that really took off, like Atari hat it's you know,

1305
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 2: run or whatever. But Nintendo was when sh it really

1306
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 2: took off, right, And I remember, you know, I had

1307
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 2: Nintendo and then I got the Sega Genesis and I

1308
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 2: was like, wow, sixteen bits, you know, like you know,

1309
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,919
Speaker 2: just blown away with that and had fucking Sonic came

1310
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 2: with it.

1311
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?

1312
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 3: Like Sonic when you'd only been able to play Mario? Really,

1313
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 3: like if someone created I mean, I I shouldn't say that,

1314
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, it's like if someone created like

1315
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 3: pouring that actually exists, Like it was like it was

1316
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 3: like taking your brain to a level you didn't even

1317
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 3: know existed, even though it was still a like low

1318
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 3: bit side scrolling video game. The fact that you could

1319
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 3: go fast was like holy shit.

1320
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 2: And if you go fast enough, if you go fast enough,

1321
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 2: you've got the Mario Invincible Star, you know.

1322
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 3: Basically, right, that.

1323
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Was like nothingsion of Na's titties, you know what I'm saying.

1324
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 3: And it was right.

1325
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 2: And then the whole year you're telling me, as long

1326
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 2: as I just I've just got one ring, I'll never die,

1327
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 2: Like what what type of innovation is this, You know

1328
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Yeah, Sonic was a game changer.

1329
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 5: Though I remember, I remember it was not I don't

1330
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 5: know if there was technically Christmas Camp. It was right

1331
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 5: around the Christmas time, so I think it qualifies, and

1332
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 5: it's by far the best gift I've ever gotten. My

1333
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 5: dad did this thing with me and each of my siblings.

1334
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 5: He called it a senior trip, where like when we

1335
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 5: were seniors in high school, he would like, we would

1336
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 5: do some cool.

1337
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 3: Thing for me.

1338
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 4: I was oldest.

1339
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 5: I got the first one. He surprised me and he

1340
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 5: we flew to Boston and in a two day span,

1341
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 5: we went to a Celtics game, a Bruins game, and

1342
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 5: a Patriots game.

1343
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 4: It was the sickest trip ever.

1344
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 5: And I was like seventeen years old.

1345
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 3: How was that not top of mind because.

1346
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 5: There wasn't Christmas. I think that's why it was like

1347
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 5: early December or something. It was just like the timing

1348
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 5: that was the time of those games happening. But like,

1349
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 5: I think it qualifies.

1350
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 3: Were your Christmas? Is that crazy? That's that's the best

1351
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 3: gift I've ever gotten, period.

1352
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 5: And it was just like I didn't think I didn't

1353
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 5: think it was a Christmas game.

1354
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 3: I think it was a Christmas somebody had more than

1355
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 3: one closet in their house. Jackson didn't believe in Santa

1356
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 3: Claus because they had too many chimneys at that go down.

1357
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 3: No way he would know, I I have I'll do

1358
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 3: an adult one later, but my kid one would would

1359
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 3: be very similar to Tyler's. And I have to emphasize

1360
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 3: again if you're a younger listener, there's no way to

1361
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 3: describe how important a video game system was, because it

1362
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 3: was both the most entertaining thing in the world you

1363
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 3: could have, and legitimately if you had the new system,

1364
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 3: you were automatically the coolest kid and your group of friends.

1365
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 3: It was like being the first kid to have a

1366
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 3: car for the first thing your friends have a car

1367
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 3: or something. So I'll never forget. When I was twelve,

1368
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 3: my grandparents got me the Nintendo sixty four, and then

1369
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 3: Nintendo sixty four was as big as step up as

1370
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 3: we were talking about because you had four controllers, which

1371
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 3: to us was like could we have more than two friends?

1372
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 3: So you were always juggling. Okay, you guys are playing Madden,

1373
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 3: but the other four people are outside playing basketball. You'd

1374
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 3: go call him in or some shit like that, right,

1375
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 3: because people would be in my house and so we'd

1376
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 3: be like rotating and sixty four. I mean, first of all,

1377
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 3: I knew I was gonna get it because my grandma

1378
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 3: was just like, you know, she was just telling me,

1379
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 3: like the two months before Christmas, what a good kid.

1380
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 3: I was all this other shit, and I just knew,

1381
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 3: like she'd just give me the look wait, yeah, yeah,

1382
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 3: she'd just be like you can't She's like, oh, you

1383
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 3: can't wait for Christmas and so like, and so my

1384
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 3: anticipation was so so high, and I was correct that

1385
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 3: it was the greatest president. It was just like December

1386
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 3: twenty sixth, actually December twenty fifth, just up and down

1387
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 3: my street, my friend Ryan, you know, my little brother

1388
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 3: just I got the N sixty four and probably we're

1389
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 3: all playing Smash Brothers at the same time, like we're

1390
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 3: all playing Mario Kart at the same time. You bring

1391
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 3: your controller over to your friend's house because the controllers

1392
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 3: were still expensive as fuck, so most people didn't have

1393
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 3: four controllers sitting in the crib like. But I just

1394
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 3: knew as a twelve year old, and again I knew

1395
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 3: it was my grandparents getting there wasn't any sand of stuff.

Speaker 3: I just knew it was gonna be like life changing,

1397
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 3: and I was correct. So that's got to be number

1398
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 3: one for me as a kid, for sure.

1399
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,280

1441
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 3: at least was like it's like very important. So when

01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:55,959
Speaker 3: when everyone found out Vinnie was going to be a boy,

1443
