1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Hey, folks, this is Lyle. So this is a little

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: bonus episode that was originally made as a video for

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel because I'm trying to get more into

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: like documentary travelogue kind of content, but I also wanted

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: to share it on here with my podcast listeners. However,

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: if you're hearing this right now, it means that you're

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: listening on a platform that isn't Spotify that I can't

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: upload the video version on. So I highly highly suggest

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: that you either go watch on Spotify video or go

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: into the description of this episode and click the link

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: to watch the video on YouTube. But if you can't

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: do that, or if you just don't fucking feel like it,

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: I have tried my best to make edits to the

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: original version of this so that it can somewhat function

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: as an audio episode.

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: Two.

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: So with that disclaimer in mind, let's get into it.

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: I went to mex to dance, battle a stranger and

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: also use their bathroom. I host a podcast called Therapy Gecko,

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: where I dress up like a gecko and talk to

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: strangers on the phone about their lives. One day, I

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: got this call from a breakdancer in Mexico named Diego.

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: I am a bee boy in Tijuana, and I promote dancing,

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: but my style is barely just one year old, and

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: so it's been tough.

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: After our call, Diego DMed me and invited me to

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: come down to Tijuana to attend one of his breakdance events,

28
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: and I told him I'd love to do that someday.

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: But after I sent that message, I realized that someday

30
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: is based on the false premise of a future that

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: never comes and is simply the present in disguise. So

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: I decided to go to Tijuana, meet this complete stranger

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: and make a video about whatever happens. I told Diego

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: I was coming down to Mexico, and in response, he

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: put together a gek dance event where I would be

36
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: a special guest alongside eight other dance battlers. I asked

37
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: if I could formally battle anyone at the event, and

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: so Diego planned an exhibition battle between him and I.

39
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: It was going to be crazy. I took a plane

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: to Tijuana, and after six hours of playing Grand Theft

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: Auto San Andreas, I finally landed. I thought it was

42
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: pretty funny that I actually came here, but it also

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: made me feel very empowered and good. I got into

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: a taxi and the song Como Lafleur by Selena was playing.

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I remembered having to study the lyrics to this when

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: I was in middle school Spanish class, and that one

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: kid was so moved by the song that he started

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: to cry in the middle of class. In this moment,

49
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I may be feeling a bit of what he felt.

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: I also saw that they have a new flavor of

51
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Doctor Pepper here. It is amazing to travel and experience

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: new cultures. In the past, I'd done most of my

53
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: adventuring alone, but this time my friend Kevin came down

54
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles to help me film stuff, and we

55
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: took a cab over to Diego's house to meet him

56
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: in person for the first time.

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: What's up, man, How you doing good?

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: Little fifty lineup?

59
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: Bro?

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: How's it going?

61
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: I love the I love the Ninja Hurdles shirt in

62
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: the back.

63
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: That looks awesome. I re listened to our podcast. I

64
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, maybe one day I'll come.

65
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: And then and now in this moment, we are actually here,

66
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna do. I also met his wife and child.

67
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 5: I was getting home when I heard him on the phone.

68
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 5: Then he hang up and like, what think you told me,

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 5: like you know, Gecko, and I.

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: Was like, oh yeah, sure, Like Alma was.

71
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: Talking to him, how's the family life going.

72
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: We're learning every single day and like to be patient,

73
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: like to be doing our stuff and still like taking

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: care of him. I think it was the hard part bro.

75
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: On our phone call, right, I remember we were talking

76
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: about like like the balance between like like family life

77
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: and life doing doing your own life you have, you guys,

78
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: feel like you've been able to strike a nice balance

79
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: with that.

80
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: But I think that's the main thing, like when you

81
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 5: prioritize not losing yourself while also being emparas.

82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Diego really wanted to show me this view from the

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: top of his steps.

84
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 4: This is like my pelv. Every single time I come home,

85
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 4: I just stare.

86
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: I love it here. I'm like fuck ground blast.

87
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Like just by this point it was really nice to

88
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: talk to someone who loved their life this much. In

89
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: anticipation of our dance battle later that day, Diego tried

90
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: to show me some moves.

91
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 4: Had on the other side.

92
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 6: There you go.

93
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 2: All right or out of the front.

94
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Even though Diego was at a slightly higher skill level

95
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: than me, I assured him I did not want him

96
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: to hold back in our battle, Like, you don't hit

97
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: people right if you're in the moment and you're like,

98
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a great move, but it requires

99
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: me to punch Lyle in the face. You can do

100
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: that if you want. We had some time to kill

101
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: before the Gek Dance event, so we walked around the

102
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: neighborhood and chatted a bit. What are your favorite kinds

103
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: of sodis Doctor Pepper? Definitely?

104
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: I was.

105
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: I was in a cab on the way over here

106
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: and I saw they have a new flavor of Doctor Pepper.

107
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 3: They have a blow blue fuck. I forgot what it's called,

108
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 3: but it was like a blue raspberry something.

109
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 4: Maybe they've been doing a lot of flavors lately, but

110
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if I were like any other Doctor

111
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: Pepper flavor rather than the original.

112
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: So today you and me are going to be doing

113
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: an exhibition battle. Is there any danger that I should

114
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: be like cognizant of or aware of? They could anything

115
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: horrible happen?

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: Well, if if you win against me in my in

117
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: my exhibition battle, I'm gonna knock you out. Now. I'm

118
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: just kidding, Brom, I'm just kidding. I'm just so kidd

119
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: um no that I think of. The floor is not slippery.

120
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, while Diego was showing us around, the sky went

121
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: gray and it started to pour down rain. This was

122
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: concerning because it meant that we might have to cancel

123
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: the gek dance that I flew all the way out

124
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: here for.

125
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: Let me just call my guy real quick.

126
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: We went back to Diego's house and he put on

127
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: some lo fi hip hop with rain sounds while we

128
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: waited out the actual rain. I asked if I could

129
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: use his bathroom, and he told me a funny joke

130
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: that is local to the region.

131
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: Whenever you're like, hey, dude, I'm sorry of a kind

132
00:06:52,160 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: iss your bathroom, They're like, yeah, but just something that

133
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: has pretty coming out here.

134
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: I don't know why, but.

135
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: While I was on the toilet, I journaled on my

136
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: phone for a bit. I was a little worried that

137
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: the event might get rained out and I wouldn't be

138
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: able to reschedule it before I leave. But I also

139
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: did tell myself that this video would just be about

140
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: whatever happened as a result of me coming here. So

141
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: if the title of this video ends up being I

142
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: went to Tijuana to use the bathroom, that would be

143
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: fine too, not everything has to be perfect. When I

144
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: got out of the bathroom, Diego showed me his anime collection.

145
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: I got many main things I cherish. I got freaking

146
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: Neon Genesis, Evangelium, full modal alchemists, like all this years

147
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: that you can think of. I loved him.

148
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: He also showed me this award that he got from

149
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: a break dance competition. So this is one of the

150
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: prizes from the.

151
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: Prices that I got for a second place here in

152
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: TJ Open style battle the first. But he's got the

153
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: one in cold, so I think it's even better. But hey,

154
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: silver is good.

155
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: After a while of waiting, we were able to confirm

156
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: that the rain had stopped for good and the Gek

157
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: dance event was back on, so I painted my face

158
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: and got suited up to go. One thing I forgot

159
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: to mention is that before I left for Mexico, Diego

160
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: asked me if he could also be dressed as a

161
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: gecko for our battle. So I told him I would

162
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: bring an extra suit. It would be a Gecko versus

163
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: Gecko dance off.

164
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: You put on over or under your clothes over okay.

165
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: So I helped Diego finish transforming and we called a

166
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: cab to the main event.

167
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: The ulverdriver is gonna be pug.

168
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: It's true, he did, ask Lizard Lardica. Yes, I said,

169
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: it was very, very important to understand that I am

170
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: not a frog. Hey, I'm recording some extra lines for

171
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: this audio version here. So when we got to the event,

172
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: it was this big circle of dancers all hanging out

173
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: around this park, and I started to interview a few

174
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: of them. What do you think is the meaning of life? Okay,

175
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to read this out because she answered in Spanish,

176
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: but she said that to her, the meaning of life

177
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: is to live in the moment, enjoy it, and.

178
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: Be with the people you love.

179
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: Do you feel like dancing is a good way to

180
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: be in the moment? See you said it's therapy. Do

181
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: you feel like you sometimes work out life issues on

182
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: the dance floor? Koka, I think that one of my

183
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: main problems is anxiety. But when I'm dancing, all of

184
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: my thoughts are simply in the present moment. If you're

185
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: not doing anything, you start getting anxious and you start

186
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: going crazy, and so you and when you're dancing, all

187
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: you're thinking about is the body, is the moves, and

188
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: so you're not You're not like going You're not going

189
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: crazy when you're dancing and stuff. I took to the

190
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: circle and started dancing a bit myself.

191
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: Where do you think we go when we die?

192
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 6: That's a good christ I don't know, to the ground.

193
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 6: I don't know, Like I believe in something else, Like

194
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 6: you do love, you receive love. If you hate, you

195
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 6: have hate.

196
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna be doing an exhibition match later with

197
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: the other Gecko.

198
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: Do you do you have any like advice for me?

199
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 5: Yeah?

200
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 6: Just like let the music guy?

201
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 3: Do you get personal? What is that? What does that mean?

202
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: Get personal?

203
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 6: Look him in the ice, try to intimidate him.

204
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: Other than that, it's just frets out, Like whatever comes out,

205
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: just express it. We have a special guest for the

206
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: exhibition battle, Lile.

207
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Yes, it was time for me and Diego to finally battle.

208
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: I was up first, and I had forgotten virtually everything

209
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: that Diego taught me this morning, so I just started

210
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: going crazy. So again, this part of the video is

211
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: very video heavy, but just imagine that I'm flailing my

212
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: arms around, jumping like a frog, and doing push ups.

213
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: The crowd seemed to enjoy it.

214
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: Also.

215
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: It may not look like it in this footage, but

216
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: after like five seconds of that, I was absolutely on

217
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: the brink of passing out. Diego was up next, and

218
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: he was pretty good okay in this part. Just imagine

219
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: another guy in a gecko suit spinning on his head

220
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: doing the work I like really good and just generally

221
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: being like really good at break dancing. We went back

222
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: and forth a few more times, and at this point

223
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: I was almost ready to die. By now I had

224
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: run out of ideas for how to move my body,

225
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: so I just started running around in circles. And I

226
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: also did this thing with my finger that I know

227
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: how to do. Another note for the audio listeners, I

228
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: can't really describe this finger thing, but it is pretty cool.

229
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: You should watch the video version at some point to

230
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: see it. I think it's pretty cool. After our dance

231
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: battle was over, Diego handed me the microphone for me

232
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: to give some sort of message to the folks at

233
00:12:46,320 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: the park, and I tried to speak in my shitty Spanish.

234
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: Grass pair had poor.

235
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: For having me in Tijuana.

236
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: Tijuana, esta mucho bien? How did you think I did

237
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: really good?

238
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: You don't have to just say that if you know me.

239
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: You didn't even look tired. I was really tired. I

240
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: was about to pass out halfway. Were you being facetious

241
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: just now? Did you think I looked tired? You didn't

242
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: look You're being serious?

243
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: Serious?

244
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: Who do you think one between me and the other guys?

245
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: I think it was a tie? Do you really believe that?

246
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: No?

247
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: I think are you being serious? He does? He does

248
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: have some training.

249
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: So after our battle, I gave out awards to the

250
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: winners of the main tournament. Congratulations on being a finalist.

251
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for so you saw our our battle?

252
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: Right?

253
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: Who do you think one between him and me?

254
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 3: Was you are? Are you being serious?

255
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: Because I don't want I really don't want you to

256
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: lie to me, like if you if you think I'm

257
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: like no, if if you think he won, I want

258
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: you to tell me if I think it's It almost

259
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: hurts my feelings a little more when people you know

260
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: tell me congratulations on the big win. Did you happen

261
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: to catch me and his battle between us? As an expert?

262
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: Who do you think one?

263
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: Well, I will say this, get go, but I really could.

264
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, diego, And I found a quiet spot

265
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: to reflect and decompress from the action.

266
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: That was awesome. That was great.

267
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Thank you, dude, Thank you so much for a fucking

268
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: having this.

269
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: This went great.

270
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: I went in this being like, uh, fuck it, I'll

271
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: just fly to Tijuana, and I have no idea what

272
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: this is going to be.

273
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: But this went. This was really fun.

274
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: This is great now that it's over. It was it

275
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: like a little bit of what you were expecting.

276
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: I actually did have some expectations before I came here

277
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: that I haven't really talked about yet. Before I came here,

278
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I knew that Tijuana had a reputation as one of

279
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: the most violent cities in the world, and when I

280
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: went to look it up, I saw that Tijuana and

281
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: the entire state of Baja California had a Level three

282
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: reconsider travel advisory from the US government. Granted, I only

283
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: got to see very little of the city, and I

284
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: don't want to be reductive, but despite what I saw online,

285
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: I do think it's worth something that at least in

286
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: this fifty foot radius, there are people dancing and chilling

287
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: and a guy who loves Doctor Pepper and anime and

288
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: tries his best to be a good father and live

289
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: a good life. And that's what's happening down here, just

290
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: as much as anything else. Is happening down here. So

291
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: next time someone says I heard it's pretty crazy down

292
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: in Tijuana, I can be like, yeah, it is pretty crazy.

293
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: There's a guy spinning on his head. The only evil

294
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: person I did meet down here was this guy.

295
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: Have you ever flown a Spirit?

296
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: Oh?

297
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love Spirit Airline.

298
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 6: I used to be customer service for a Spirit for

299
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 6: like two years.

300
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: Really. Yeah.

301
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,080

Speaker 1: I get my money back? Would you be like, yeah, no.

00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: Of course not.

304
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 6: I've had to see the reasons why their flight fucked up.

305
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: You're not gonna be a homie about it.

306
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: No. That was a fun part of that job that

307
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't like cool was That was the fun part. Yeah,

308
