And by the way, you let me 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.520 know what you're gonna have me eating today. 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.640 Well, you gotta remember when I first came here, I 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:14.760 lived in the streets. 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:17.240 When you lived in the streets. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.360 I lived in the streets. I was homeless because I 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.600 ran away from home, bought a bus ticket, I ran 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.920 away to California. I didn't care. I didn't know. All 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:27.680 I knew is I was going to be a movie star. 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.600 That's all I ever said. So soon as I graduated 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:34.560 July July August, what is it? June July, August, September, October, 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.880 three months later, I mean three Belogney sandwiches and got 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.880 on a bus and came to California And no no money, 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.160 no relatives, no nothing, from where North Carolina. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.040 From North Carolina. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.680 And because I had been telling everybody since I was 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.200 a kid, I'm gonna be a movie start, I'm gonna 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.720 go round away to Hollywood as soon as I graduated, 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.000 running away to Hollywood. I said it from the first 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.560 grade through the twelfth and I did it. 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.640 When you say, you read away, So does that mean 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.360 your parents were all the way in on this journey? 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.480 No, I was. I ran away. When you run away, 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:01.960 you don't. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.760 Usually you know, you don't include them men on that. 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.880 No, you leave if you let them know. But I 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.280 know I wrote a note. I literally wrote a note. 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.200 Wait till everybody left the house, rolle a note, got 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.520 on the bus. I looked like I was ten. I 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.720 was forty eleven and weighed seventy five pounds when I graduated. 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:24.799 Okay, okay, probably say, dang, you grew after high school. Yeah, 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.040 that's what happened to my little My older brother, he 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.920 was like really small and then right when he hit college, 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:30.400 he like grew. 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.280 You know why black people are taller? Why because their negroes. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:42.440 Ohious, So you get on the bus with these baloney sandwiches, 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:43.600 but today, what are you gonna have it? 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.760 Oh So anyway, so once I got here and I 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.480 started to coming up and one of the things that 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.840 I men didn't have a lot of money for food 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.920 because I didn't really eat a lot so and I 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.160 was just always got my go to and that is 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.639 can you hear me? Junk show? And I'm sorry, and 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.400 this is a good plug. So y'all can send me 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:07.160 some spam spam spam, egg and cheese. And I would 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.840 eat that every So I would eat it for breakfast, 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.560 and I would eat it for dinner and lunch every 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.079 single day because I had a whole thing. So I 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.400 could eat that that that'd be breakfast, and that'd be lunch, 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.200 and that'd be dinner. But you gotta kind of fix 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.400 it up. Now, can't just eat spam because spam is 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:22.280 a little too salty. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.240 Yeah, I've had this on the show before and I 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.760 try to slither of it once, like just straight out 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.400 the cant and it was extremely salty. 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.680 It's very salty. But that's why if I put my 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.280 egg in the cheese, that's gonna you know, kind of 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.120 dilute the salt because you I don't have to put 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.600 any salt in the eggs because that helps with the eggs. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:40.960 So it takes a little bit. And then you put 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.200 that miracle whip on our mayonnaise. You put that miracle 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:43.800 whip on him. 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.840 I love how you were very like, don't forget the 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:46.480 miracle whip. 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.800 Nope, you can't forget the miracle. I wouldn't. I don't 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.480 think if I made a sandwich, so funny because that's 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.080 the commercial to have. If I made a sandwich and 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.680 I ran to get the America whip after it was 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.840 already and there wasn't any, I probably wouldn't eat the sandwich. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.400 Really. Wow, Okay, that's how important it is. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:03.760 That's how important it is. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.480 All right, So while you start cooking, so you have 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.440 the just so all our listeners know we have the spam, 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.840 the bread, the egg, the cheese, and the miracle with 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.920 this meal is less than a couple of bucks, right, 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.040 you know exactly? 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.400 Yeah, you won't know. For bread and and and and 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.480 and and the cannon spam could last you two days, 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.200 that's crazy. And and a carton of eggs.

I ate that when I was 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.080 coming out, you know, because that was that could last 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.960 the longest. And you go the furthest and and and 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.200 like I said, I still eat today. 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.159 I probably still will eat it today. 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.719 I got probably five cans right now.

They dropped spam in them, so it became 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:37.719 like a staple. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.680 It's funny. I was talking to my girlfriend yesterday and 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.360 sometimes when we'll go out to eat, they'll order bone 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.800 marrow and I look at her and I'm like, yo, 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.240 I can't believe people are paying for bone marrow.
