WEBVTT - I dance battled a stranger in mexico

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks, this is Lyle. So this is a little

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>bonus episode that was originally made as a video for

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>my YouTube channel because I'm trying to get more into

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:14.920
<v Speaker 1>like documentary travelogue kind of content, but I also wanted

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>to share it on here with my podcast listeners. However,

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're hearing this right now, it means that you're

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>listening on a platform that isn't Spotify that I can't

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>upload the video version on. So I highly highly suggest

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>that you either go watch on Spotify video or go

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>into the description of this episode and click the link

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>to watch the video on YouTube. But if you can't

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 1>do that, or if you just don't fucking feel like it,

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I have tried my best to make edits to the

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>original version of this so that it can somewhat function

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>as an audio episode.

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Two.

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>So with that disclaimer in mind, let's get into it.

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I went to mex to dance, battle a stranger and

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>also use their bathroom. I host a podcast called Therapy Gecko,

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>where I dress up like a gecko and talk to

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>strangers on the phone about their lives. One day, I

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>got this call from a breakdancer in Mexico named Diego.

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I am a bee boy in Tijuana, and I promote dancing,

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 2>but my style is barely just one year old, and

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>so it's been tough.

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>After our call, Diego DMed me and invited me to

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>come down to Tijuana to attend one of his breakdance events,

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and I told him I'd love to do that someday.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>But after I sent that message, I realized that someday

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>is based on the false premise of a future that

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>never comes and is simply the present in disguise. So

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I decided to go to Tijuana, meet this complete stranger

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and make a video about whatever happens. I told Diego

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I was coming down to Mexico, and in response, he

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>put together a gek dance event where I would be

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a special guest alongside eight other dance battlers. I asked

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>if I could formally battle anyone at the event, and

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.679
<v Speaker 1>so Diego planned an exhibition battle between him and I.

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>It was going to be crazy. I took a plane

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to Tijuana, and after six hours of playing Grand Theft

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Auto San Andreas, I finally landed. I thought it was

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty funny that I actually came here, but it also

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>made me feel very empowered and good. I got into

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>a taxi and the song Como Lafleur by Selena was playing.

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I remembered having to study the lyrics to this when

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I was in middle school Spanish class, and that one

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>kid was so moved by the song that he started

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>to cry in the middle of class. In this moment,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I may be feeling a bit of what he felt.

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I also saw that they have a new flavor of

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Pepper here. It is amazing to travel and experience

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>new cultures. In the past, I'd done most of my

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.119
<v Speaker 1>adventuring alone, but this time my friend Kevin came down

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 1>from Los Angeles to help me film stuff, and we

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>took a cab over to Diego's house to meet him

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>in person for the first time.

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 3>What's up, man, How you doing good?

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 4>Little fifty lineup?

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Bro?

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 3>How's it going?

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I love the I love the Ninja Hurdles shirt in

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:19.959
<v Speaker 1>the back.

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 3>That looks awesome. I re listened to our podcast. I

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 3>was like, yeah, maybe one day I'll come.

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>And then and now in this moment, we are actually here,

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna do. I also met his wife and child.

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 5>I was getting home when I heard him on the phone.

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 5>Then he hang up and like, what think you told me,

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 5>like you know, Gecko, and I.

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Was like, oh yeah, sure, Like Alma was.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Talking to him, how's the family life going.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 4>We're learning every single day and like to be patient,

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 4>like to be doing our stuff and still like taking

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 4>care of him. I think it was the hard part bro.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>On our phone call, right, I remember we were talking

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>about like like the balance between like like family life

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and life doing doing your own life you have, you guys,

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like you've been able to strike a nice balance

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>with that.

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 5>But I think that's the main thing, like when you

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.919
<v Speaker 5>prioritize not losing yourself while also being emparas.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Diego really wanted to show me this view from the

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>top of his steps.

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.599
<v Speaker 4>This is like my pelv. Every single time I come home,

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 4>I just stare.

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I love it here. I'm like fuck ground blast.

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Like just by this point it was really nice to

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>talk to someone who loved their life this much. In

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>anticipation of our dance battle later that day, Diego tried

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>to show me some moves.

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.239
<v Speaker 4>Had on the other side.

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 6>There you go.

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.559
<v Speaker 2>All right or out of the front.

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Even though Diego was at a slightly higher skill level

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>than me, I assured him I did not want him

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to hold back in our battle, Like, you don't hit

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 1>people right if you're in the moment and you're like,

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be a great move, but it requires

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>me to punch Lyle in the face. You can do

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>that if you want. We had some time to kill

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>before the Gek Dance event, so we walked around the

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood and chatted a bit. What are your favorite kinds

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.720
<v Speaker 1>of sodis Doctor Pepper? Definitely?

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I was.

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I was in a cab on the way over here

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and I saw they have a new flavor of Doctor Pepper.

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 3>They have a blow blue fuck. I forgot what it's called,

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.559
<v Speaker 3>but it was like a blue raspberry something.

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they've been doing a lot of flavors lately, but

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I were like any other Doctor

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 4>Pepper flavor rather than the original.

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>So today you and me are going to be doing

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>an exhibition battle. Is there any danger that I should

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>be like cognizant of or aware of? They could anything

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>horrible happen?

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, if if you win against me in my in

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 2>my exhibition battle, I'm gonna knock you out. Now. I'm

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.600
<v Speaker 2>just kidding, Brom, I'm just kidding. I'm just so kidd

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 2>um no that I think of. The floor is not slippery.

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately, while Diego was showing us around, the sky went

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 1>gray and it started to pour down rain. This was

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>concerning because it meant that we might have to cancel

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the gek dance that I flew all the way out

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>here for.

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Let me just call my guy real quick.

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>We went back to Diego's house and he put on

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.159
<v Speaker 1>some lo fi hip hop with rain sounds while we

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>waited out the actual rain. I asked if I could

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.359
<v Speaker 1>use his bathroom, and he told me a funny joke

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that is local to the region.

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Whenever you're like, hey, dude, I'm sorry of a kind

0:06:52.160 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 2>iss your bathroom, They're like, yeah, but just something that

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>has pretty coming out here.

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why, but.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>While I was on the toilet, I journaled on my

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>phone for a bit. I was a little worried that

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the event might get rained out and I wouldn't be

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 1>able to reschedule it before I leave. But I also

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>did tell myself that this video would just be about

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>whatever happened as a result of me coming here. So

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>if the title of this video ends up being I

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>went to Tijuana to use the bathroom, that would be

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>fine too, not everything has to be perfect. When I

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>got out of the bathroom, Diego showed me his anime collection.

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I got many main things I cherish. I got freaking

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Neon Genesis, Evangelium, full modal alchemists, like all this years

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 2>that you can think of. I loved him.

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>He also showed me this award that he got from

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>a break dance competition. So this is one of the

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>prizes from the.

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Prices that I got for a second place here in

0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 2>TJ Open style battle the first. But he's got the

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 2>one in cold, so I think it's even better. But hey,

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 2>silver is good.

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>After a while of waiting, we were able to confirm

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that the rain had stopped for good and the Gek

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>dance event was back on, so I painted my face

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and got suited up to go. One thing I forgot

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>to mention is that before I left for Mexico, Diego

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>asked me if he could also be dressed as a

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>gecko for our battle. So I told him I would

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>bring an extra suit. It would be a Gecko versus

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Gecko dance off.

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 3>You put on over or under your clothes over okay.

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>So I helped Diego finish transforming and we called a

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>cab to the main event.

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>The ulverdriver is gonna be pug.

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>It's true, he did, ask Lizard Lardica. Yes, I said,

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it was very, very important to understand that I am

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>not a frog. Hey, I'm recording some extra lines for

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>this audio version here. So when we got to the event,

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>it was this big circle of dancers all hanging out

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>around this park, and I started to interview a few

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>of them. What do you think is the meaning of life? Okay,

0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to read this out because she answered in Spanish,

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>but she said that to her, the meaning of life

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>is to live in the moment, enjoy it, and.

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Be with the people you love.

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like dancing is a good way to

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>be in the moment? See you said it's therapy. Do

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you sometimes work out life issues on

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the dance floor? Koka, I think that one of my

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>main problems is anxiety. But when I'm dancing, all of

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>my thoughts are simply in the present moment. If you're

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>not doing anything, you start getting anxious and you start

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>going crazy, and so you and when you're dancing, all

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>you're thinking about is the body, is the moves, and

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>so you're not You're not like going You're not going

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>crazy when you're dancing and stuff. I took to the

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>circle and started dancing a bit myself.

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Where do you think we go when we die?

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 6>That's a good christ I don't know, to the ground.

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 6>I don't know, Like I believe in something else, Like

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 6>you do love, you receive love. If you hate, you

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 6>have hate.

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm gonna be doing an exhibition match later with

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the other Gecko.

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Do you do you have any like advice for me?

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 6>Just like let the music guy?

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Do you get personal? What is that? What does that mean?

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Get personal?

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.199
<v Speaker 6>Look him in the ice, try to intimidate him.

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Other than that, it's just frets out, Like whatever comes out,

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 2>just express it. We have a special guest for the

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 2>exhibition battle, Lile.

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it was time for me and Diego to finally battle.

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 1>I was up first, and I had forgotten virtually everything

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>that Diego taught me this morning, so I just started

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>going crazy. So again, this part of the video is

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>very video heavy, but just imagine that I'm flailing my

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 1>arms around, jumping like a frog, and doing push ups.

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>The crowd seemed to enjoy it.

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Also.

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>It may not look like it in this footage, but

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>after like five seconds of that, I was absolutely on

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the brink of passing out. Diego was up next, and

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 1>he was pretty good okay in this part. Just imagine

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>another guy in a gecko suit spinning on his head

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.440
<v Speaker 1>doing the work I like really good and just generally

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>being like really good at break dancing. We went back

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and forth a few more times, and at this point

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I was almost ready to die. By now I had

0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>run out of ideas for how to move my body,

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>so I just started running around in circles. And I

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 1>also did this thing with my finger that I know

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>how to do. Another note for the audio listeners, I

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>can't really describe this finger thing, but it is pretty cool.

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 1>You should watch the video version at some point to

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 1>see it. I think it's pretty cool. After our dance

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 1>battle was over, Diego handed me the microphone for me

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>to give some sort of message to the folks at

0:12:46.320 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 1>the park, and I tried to speak in my shitty Spanish.

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Grass pair had poor.

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 3>For having me in Tijuana.

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Tijuana, esta mucho bien? How did you think I did

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:25.319
<v Speaker 1>really good?

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 3>You don't have to just say that if you know me.

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>You didn't even look tired. I was really tired. I

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.839
<v Speaker 1>was about to pass out halfway. Were you being facetious

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 1>just now? Did you think I looked tired? You didn't

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>look You're being serious?

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Serious?

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Who do you think one between me and the other guys?

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 3>I think it was a tie? Do you really believe that?

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 3>I think are you being serious? He does? He does

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 3>have some training.

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 1>So after our battle, I gave out awards to the

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>winners of the main tournament. Congratulations on being a finalist.

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.280

<v Speaker 1>Who do you think one?

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, I will say this, get go, but I really could.

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thank you, diego, And I found a quiet spot

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 1>to reflect and decompress from the action.

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 3>That was awesome. That was great.

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, dude, Thank you so much for a fucking

0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>having this.

0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 3>This went great.

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I went in this being like, uh, fuck it, I'll

0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>just fly to Tijuana, and I have no idea what

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be.

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:07.920
<v Speaker 3>But this went. This was really fun.

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 2>This is great now that it's over. It was it

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 2>like a little bit of what you were expecting.

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually did have some expectations before I came here

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>that I haven't really talked about yet. Before I came here,

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I knew that Tijuana had a reputation as one of

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the most violent cities in the world, and when I

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>went to look it up, I saw that Tijuana and

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the entire state of Baja California had a Level three

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 1>reconsider travel advisory from the US government. Granted, I only

0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 1>got to see very little of the city, and I

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be reductive, but despite what I saw online,

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I do think it's worth something that at least in

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>this fifty foot radius, there are people dancing and chilling

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and a guy who loves Doctor Pepper and anime and

0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 1>tries his best to be a good father and live

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>a good life. And that's what's happening down here, just

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>as much as anything else. Is happening down here. So

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>next time someone says I heard it's pretty crazy down

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 1>in Tijuana, I can be like, yeah, it is pretty crazy.

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 1>There's a guy spinning on his head. The only evil

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>person I did meet down here was this guy.

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever flown a Spirit?

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I love Spirit Airline.

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 6>I used to be customer service for a Spirit for

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 6>like two years.

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Really. Yeah.

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 1>If people were like, hey, you guys fucked up, can

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I get my money back? Would you be like, yeah, no.

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 3>Of course not.

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 6>I've had to see the reasons why their flight fucked up.

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 3>You're not gonna be a homie about it.

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>No. That was a fun part of that job that

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't like cool was That was the fun part. Yeah,

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.440
