Um, I'm counting the days until I put a suit on again.
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:45.200
I do that.
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.240
When you when I showed up, I well, you were sitting in a suit.
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.840
I thought you were coming from a funeral or something, and it happened to be a celebration.
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:52.320
Yeah.
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.560
Oh, for the 10th uh yeah, you were just sitting staring straight ahead.
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.759
I was like, okay, hey, buddy.
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:02.719
What's happening?
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:05.680
Do you have a suit?
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:06.879
Uh I do.
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:08.719
Do they make suits in your sizes?
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:16.000
You know, it's been a saga of decades of showing up to weddings and people being like, you look like you just got drafted to the NBA.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.439
Like you just got like a giant suit at the store.
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.719
Now I have a suit that actually looks like it was it fits me.
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:24.400

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:28.239
Kind of.
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:29.439
It's a big guy's suit.
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:30.719
It took a while to find.
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:31.760
Big and tall?
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.719
But big and tall, but more tall.
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.680
Instead of because I've had I've had the suits where you look like the it's just like tubes of cloth.
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.079
They're not cut for any specific person.
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.319
They're just trying to like cover size.
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:48.799
That's stupid.
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:58.000

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:02.959
Yes.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.000
If you want to keep stealing entertainment for free, you go do that.
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:09.120
We won't judge you.
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:10.719
Yeah, we're running a charity.
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.840
Um today is a good day.
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:16.719
It was good.
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:17.520
It's a nice day.
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.280
It's a nice autumn, very fresh.
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.240
So you got your ball there in your hand.
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:25.599

00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:26.560
Special ball.
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:27.759
Do not touch the mic.
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.159
A cork ball, I believe.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.280
It's a good material that cork.
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:33.680
Yeah.
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:34.319
What is that?
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:35.360
A tree, right?
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:36.479
It's gotta be.
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:37.759
It's definitely organic.
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.280
It's coming out the earth.
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:40.319
Cork.
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.439
It's funny, it's the same word in Swedish.
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:44.400
Yeah.
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.960
And there's a town in Ireland called Cork.
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:49.360
Is that where it's from?
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:54.319
No, but my grandfather always said if all of Ireland sank, what would we left?
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:54.960
Cork.
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:56.800
Ooh, that's what you tell.
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:57.680
That's an Irish joke.
00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.680
Yeah, it's a little tell the kids that one.
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.199
And if you don't laugh, he'll punch you.
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:02.000
Yes.
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.240
Was he like super Irish?
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.759
No, my grandfather was Scottish and then my grandmother was Irish.
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.680
But he there was always like they always had jokes about each other's heritage.
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.919
Who was the most downtrodden?
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.159
And then who was also the most awesome at the same time.
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:19.599
Is that Schontinck?
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:20.000
Is that the name?
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:31.280
Shon Tink! Schon! That I feel like because it my dad's side is like adoptions and like mystery, bad paperwork, and I think that's like German or Austrian or something.
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.039
Something German-ish is that name, but there's like three of us in the whole country.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:38.800
There's not a lot of paperwork.
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.319
Uh that's fun.
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.000
Yeah, it was one guy I found on Facebook, Greg Schaunting.
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:57.360
And um I found it this is like 15 years ago, and then like I was like, oh, this dude, like, he's real chatty, and I have no connection to him, and he was always like all over my my Facebook page.
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:03.360
And uh, and then I lost track when I quit Facebook like 15 years ago, 10 years ago or something.
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.439
But was he a distant relative, you think?
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:06.639
I mean, who knows?
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:07.919
I don't know, I have no fucking clue.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.599
He was in Ohio, so I don't mean to dox the guy, but he was like somewhere in Middle America.
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:19.199
Uh and I think he was as shocked as I was, so he was like, holy shit, like I'll comment on everything this person puts up.
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.040
There is something with that, you know, like meeting a distant relative.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.279
I always fantasized about like, hey, I'm your like weird cousin you never met.
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:29.600
Yeah.
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:34.639
Like, and I'm your bro, and we're kind of related, and now we're we have a blood passion.
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.560
Yeah, and now we are like super best friends.
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:37.279
Yeah.
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.680
But I I I told you that, right?
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.000
About the non non-racist great uncle.
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.519
Yeah, he's like your great uncle.
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.240
Yeah, but I met his grandchild.
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:48.879
Which is like a fifteenth cousin.
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.839
Which is which is my third cousin?
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:54.399
Susling, I think.
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:55.759
Whatever that is.
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:56.720
I don't know.
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:03.040
But um It's my cousin's cousin.
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.040
It's my cousin's second cousin.
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:07.759
It's a second cousin.
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.120
It's a second cousin, whatever.
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.680
I met her and she was not feeling it at all.
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.160
And I was like, hey, you and me, we're related.
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:14.879
Isn't that weird?
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.279
And she's like, Who are you guys?
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.120
Why are you bringing a black person to jamming it up?
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:26.879
Jamming the situation up.
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.240
Maybe she was really racist.
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.639
Now my dad's gonna start stroking him.

00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:34.320
Why?
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.200
Uh I don't know, because I don't want like a government name.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.679
X is like um because you don't know what your name should be because it was taken from you.
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:44.320
Uh-huh.
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.279
Is that the the I don't know a lot about Malcolm X actually?
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.919
Yeah, it was like it was like that's just like my government name.
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.279
That's just like the name they like slapped on my ancestors.
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:58.960
Um is that uh wait, so your name is Randolph?
00:09:59.360 --> 00:09:59.919

00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:04.080
Uh-huh.
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:05.440
So you just pick a name.
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.679
I just picked the name, threw X on it, and then I would dress like Terminator X from Public Enemy.
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:14.159
Uh-huh.
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.279

00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:22.399
Mo's good.
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.360

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.039

00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:36.080
Yeah.
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:41.039
Um, I did have a funny encounter with some dudes the other day.
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.240
I was out at night, which is fucking rare.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.080
And I saw what does that mean?
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.080
Oh, I was at like an event.
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:49.759
Like just and I ran into this dude.
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:50.720
I was like, Where have you been, man?
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:51.600
I haven't seen you in like a year.
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.039
And he was like, Oh, I'm working, I'm doing like electrician work.
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.159
I just apprentice and I've been on like job sites at 6 a.m.
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.600
Uh big, tall, good looking black dude.
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:02.960
And I was like, What's that like?
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:04.720
And he was like, boy.
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.320
I was like, How is it?
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:13.600
And he's like, uh, I gotta say, after working a retail for like 10 years, it's pretty freeing.
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.519
And I was like, what's the vibe in there?
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.840
And he's like, I was like, it's pretty racist, right?
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.240
And he was like, Yeah, it's real racist.
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:21.919
And I but he started smiling.
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.279
I was like, it's pretty fun, right?
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.559
He's like, it's awesome.
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:25.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:30.080
And then uh another guy walked up, another black dude, and he was like, I used to do that too.
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:31.360
It was like the coolest thing.
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:40.080
And then we talked about how everybody kind of like everybody hates everybody equally because they care.
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.279
Like, if they're not talking to you, they don't give a shit.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.840
But they have one thing in common that they hate their job more.
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.639
Yeah, they're like, This job sucks, and like fuck you and fuck everybody, but they're all like on the same team.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:57.440
So these dudes are just like, it's kind of nice like not working with like HR.
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:03.600
You know, nobody's gonna like come to you if you're crying because someone made you feel silly.
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.720
And uh, yeah, they it was a good laugh.
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:07.840
I was like, I love that.
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:14.720
Like when someone has like a real job, all the bullshit just doesn't like affect anything, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:23.679
Um, and you forget about that shit when you don't have normal jobs, when you're in entertainment or in culture, like we are creative industry, you know.
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:29.279
When you're creatives, when you're podcast stars, it's easy to forget what the real people are like, yeah.
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:35.200
Um, but I I remember yeah, no, I have you had like a you you were in construction.
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.320
Oh man, so yeah, I was thinking of like my old jobs.
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:56.480
I used to do drywall landscaping, and then I did construction for a few years, and uh I was thinking about like because he the guy was like, Yeah, the Russians are making fun of the Polish and the Ukrainians are making fun of the Serbians and the black dudes are getting shit on by like the Korean guy.
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:04.960
Yeah, and uh I was thinking of like all the dudes that I've worked with, and like we all had nicknames, and I was like starting to write them down.
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:08.639
Please tell me you're having and um where are they?
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:13.279
It was there's some good I couldn't think of them all because it's been a while, but um let me see.
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:21.279
I worked with a guy, I did the construct doing construction was well, doing drywall is like everyone likes to make fun of the drywall guy.
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.000
What is that?
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:23.679
It's like sheetrock.
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:28.240
You don't build anything really, but you build the wall on top of the wood.
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.639
Uh it's that like gypsum the skeleton of something.
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.840
No, you add the skin to the skeleton.
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:36.480
Okay.
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:42.480
Um, and those guys are like, you get shit on because you're kind of like, you don't need to know too much technical stuff.
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:46.559
But then this dude was like, Yeah, but like electricians are like, we're like the pussies.
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:47.039
Yeah.
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:51.840
And everyone makes fun of us when we walk on the job site, like, oh, here come the fucking dentists.
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.799
Like, you know, like everyone get out of the way, make it clean.
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.240
You're gonna bitch.
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.919
Um and we had, let's see, I'll just read a couple names if anything comes to mind.
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:03.120
Read them all.
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:06.240
We had, I remember the first guy was Purple Paul.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:11.440
Purple Paul laughed at me every day because he was just like, You're so stupid.
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.600
And then, like, but he was like a fucking goon, and then you'd be like, Where's Paul?
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:16.960
He didn't come to work today on Monday.
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:21.919
He's like, Well, someone's like, Yeah, I saw him at the bar Saturday night with a bloody nose, and his girlfriend beat the shit out of me.
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.200
He was standing in the front of the bar.
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.240
Like, it's just like crazy, it's crazy people.
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:33.519
And then there was Bruce Juice, who was like very short, he skated and he was always bleeding from his face.
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:42.720
Oh, you'd always just be somewhere in a house, and you're like, Fuck! And then you come around the corner, he's like, Oh, and like he always had like wounds.
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:47.360
Like, he was awesome, but he was always like, he's like, Yeah, they say I go head first into everything.
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.399
And he's just like holding his skin onto his face.
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.679
But what uh what how does that explain the juice name?
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.840
I think he was just like, you always have to have nicknames, like everyone's gotta have like a rhyme.
00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.120
So it just rhymes, yeah.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.000
It was Bruce Juice, you know, like Mike the Bike or something.
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.240
Yeah, um, and then there was um Sean the Prawn.
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:11.120
Sean Le Prawn was uh Prawn as in like a shrimp.
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:23.440
Yeah, he was like a little guy, and uh I think he came from like fishing boats, and he always had a uh a big cooler with his lunch, and he would sit behind things and eat and always be like peering over.
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:28.639
And if you ever looked back at him, he would slam his cooler shut and he had a padlock on it.
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:35.440
Oh, and he would do everything with like fishing gloves, like building a house with like big ass rubber fishing gloves.
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:42.000
And uh, we always fantasized that his uh ex-girlfriend's head was in the cooler because he would never show anybody what was in there.
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.519
He didn't want to share his prawns, and then we had my first construction job.
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:57.039
The foreman was a guy who was probably like 40, but he looked like he was 80, and he had been burned all over his face.
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:05.759
So his face was like Freddie Krueger, perfect, and uh he was an open crack smoker, he was very never missed the job.
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.039
He was always there, he was always handing over.
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:10.480
You could drive by the beach at 5 p.m.
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.079
and he'd be sitting in a lifeguard chair just smoking crack with a with a pipe.
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.400
Yeah, just with a pipe, just smoking crack.
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.440
The sun's still out, there's like people walking their dogs.
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.000
And now the first day I worked with him.
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:25.920
Wait, what was his nickname again?
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.799
I can't remember his name, uh, because it's like his face and identity kind of like took that spot in my memory.
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:34.799
But he cracked jack.
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.720
It was something like, I don't know, it was like everybody knew him, everyone in town knew him.
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:40.319
Like, oh yeah, he's fucking gnarly.
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.359
Um, he was so fucking funny.
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:48.319
The first day I was like shaking, like on it was the first construction job.
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:53.359
It's just all men, bad breath, hungover, jacked, like pissed off dudes.
00:17:53.680 --> 00:18:02.559
And um he was like, Hey, uh, he kept calling me Cooley, which is like the new guy on the chain gang.
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:04.480
It's like old school slang.
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.960
He's like, Hey, Cooley, go get that uh extension cord and uh run that over there.
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:19.759
And then I was like, Oh, oh, oh, like, and I like plug it in, I run back, and then like a half hour, I'm like picking up trash, and a half hour later, I hear like everybody stop.
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.720
Stop what you're doing and come over here.
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:24.640
Oh my god.
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:31.519
And he's like, I want to know who the rocket scientist is that plugged the extension cord into itself.
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.960
Everyone's like start laughing, and I had to like walk forward.
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:42.720
Like, you know, he's like, All right, the new guy, and I just like everyone started shitting on me.
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.200
Um, but he was good.
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.440
He would send me looking for like the wood magnet, which doesn't exist.
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:54.000
He would send me on like errands to run that like would just like eat time.
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:54.880
That's fun.
00:18:55.039 --> 00:19:00.240
Then we had um Dodes, who's a Scottish guy, I'm still friends with.
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:01.599
Um I heard about him.
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.759
Yeah, he oh, he's written into the show.
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:05.920
Yeah, his name's like David, David Stevenson.
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.359
He asked about rednecks, right?
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:08.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:16.079
So the first time I met him was on the first job, first day of this new crew, and we went all the way up in this church which had been gutted.
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:23.039
And um, there was nothing but just sort of like the beams and the nails sticking out of the beams for three floors.
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.799
So you just lay boards down and kind of gently walk over the boards.
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:34.720
And uh he was in front of me, like showing me what to do, and he just fucking stepped on the edge of a board and went down.
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:42.160
Oh, and before I knew what I was doing, I grabbed him by his collar and lifted him up and put him back on his feet, and I saved his life.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:44.960
This was like in 30 the first 30 minutes of knowing him.
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.079
And I couldn't, I don't know, I couldn't lift him now if I tried.
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.240
But I was like, oh was it a superpower?
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:55.599
It was one of those like freak moments where he was like, dude, holy shit! I was like, what the fuck just happened?
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.839
And like wow, then we became friends.
00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:59.519
Um, I'll find some other channels.
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.640
I bet I mean if you save someone's life.
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.119
I could never plan to lift a person that way.
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:07.200
Uh, there was Boo Fish, who was the boss.
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.000
Then there was Rick the Racist, who was the plumber.
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:11.279
That's a good nickname.
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.799
And everyone's like, you gotta meet this guy.
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:14.000
He's awesome.
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:22.240
And then like he came in, he had like bear paws, and someone I remember someone yelling, dude, if your dick's as big as your fingers, I'd hate to be your wife.
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:24.720
You know, like just people yell of the shit.
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.000
Uh he hated everybody, and it was the funniest thing ever.
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:33.519
Then there was a dude named Beanless because he was always broke and never had any beans, like, and never had any money.
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:38.319
Then there was Dorky Joe who had a misfits tattoo on his hand, like the glove.
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:42.160
And he made a project out of making me feel dumb.
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:47.359
Um, and he would only use terminology from like the 1800s, but in a fun way or like mean?
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:52.480
No, he was like retarded, like he was just like, I'm gonna like grind this kid to shit.
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.960
But then I was like smarter than him, so I just was like, Well, this dude's now called Dorky Joe.
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:57.200
Uh-huh.
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:58.960
And then everyone was like, Hey, Dorky Joe.
00:20:59.119 --> 00:20:59.920
And he's like, Fuck you.
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:01.279
They're like, get over here.
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:04.079
Like, kind of just fun chit-chat.
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:11.680
There's Eric the Mexican who called me the octopus, and he was the dude that he's like, he'd be like, Do you want some beers after?
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.160
And he'd be like, Oh, no cerveza.
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:16.319
But he was Mexican.
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:17.200
Yeah, he was Mexican.
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:20.880
And he could lift like anything you looked at.
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.799
He could like pick up a forklift.
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:24.160
And he had like six kids.
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.640
He's like, he's like, I used to party.
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.920
It's no good.
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:30.079
He was the best guy ever.
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:32.319
Oh my god, you learned so much about the world.
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:38.000
Then there was Opie, who just had bags of pills every Friday and would hand them out.
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.240
And uh then they he called or another guy called me the babyface giant.
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:48.160
There was little Ricky, there was the brown tornado who uh he was called that because everything he touched turned to shit.
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.400
So he kind of bounced around the cruise like no one really wanted him for too long.
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:57.839
Then at lunch, we'd go to Jimmy's saloon and there was a guy named the May's monster.
00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.039
Mayonnaise monster.
00:21:59.200 --> 00:21:59.759
Giant OB.
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:08.480
These uh fat white dude bald and just made like the sandwiches and just had like food everywhere all over them, and everybody's like, Oh my god, here he comes, here he comes.
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.160
Like, uh, and you order food from him, and then you just like turn around and make fun of him.
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:13.119
Fuck yeah.
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:17.119
Um, and then there was this, but there was a guy.
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:24.079
The cool part about construction is you get these people that are like traveling through life, and there was one guy who worked with Jane Goodall.
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:25.039
Who was that?
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:30.000
Like, you know, when you're working with someone in a shit job and you're like, This dude's way too smart for whatever's going on here.
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.559
Uh the lady who worked with the chimps.
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:33.839
Oh, that Jane.
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:35.599
He's like, I just came back from the jungle.
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:36.960
I was like, Yeah, me too, man.
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:37.920
Whatever, anyways.
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.480
And then, like, wait, what did you say, dog?
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:44.640
And then he's like, Yeah, I was like working with Jane Goodall, and like I'm just back here figuring things out.
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:45.839
Why didn't he stay with?
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:54.480
I think maybe the jungle's kind of like after a while, you're like, dude, maybe if Jane's the only woman I've seen in a while, or something, I don't know.
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:57.440
Monkeys are your only friends, yeah.
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:59.519
And then what that's sick though.
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:01.119
No, that's the cool thing.
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:06.720
I mean, it's all cool, but like you all you get these people that are like starting over or like in transit.
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:07.519
Yeah.
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:15.519
Then there was a guy my last day called Serg, and um, he had Fight Me tattooed across his stomach.
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:16.000
Yes.
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:27.359
And uh, I think my friend was like, Yeah, when I met him, we were doing cocaine, and he set up a Bible in his living room and was just shooting it with a gun, and we were doing drugs, just staring at him.
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:40.240
And my last day, I was ripping apart like a building, and I all the old buildings are super fun to do renovations on because you find things like old trash from 60 years ago, and it's like super interesting.
00:23:40.640 --> 00:24:08.880
And I ripped this wall down, and this buck knife came out, and uh, it was the buck knife from the World Series in 1916, and it was the entire on the knife handle it had the entire photo of the Red Sox on the last World Series that they had won for like 89 years, and then the Chicago Cubs on the other side, and I was like, Holy fuck, dude! Like you know, like looking over your shoulder, like, what do I have right here?
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:14.240
And then I just some fucking gorilla hand comes in, just let me see that, and I never got it back.
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.960
Like, he just went on a tire, and I was like, This is my last day.
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.599
I'll just I'm moving to New York City like in three days.
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:21.519
Like, oh, so this is in New England?
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.640
This is in New England.
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:24.480
Um, okay, Jesus.
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:27.279
And then what there's a couple what was your nickname then?
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.640
Babyface Giant or Minute Bowl because I was tall.
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:56.960
Um then there was this like practice of getting the paychecks on Friday, and then you just see all the pickup trucks either go to the bank in a huge line to cash the checks or to the liquor store to cash the checks, and then you'd go to Jimmy's saloon again, which you just had lunch and beers in at lunch, and then everyone would just like black out and like fight each other, and then spend like half their checks on like beer and alcohol and drugs.
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:00.640
Um and then there was the guy, this is the last one.
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:05.359
This guy, Kyle, that I worked with, it was I was doing he was a Marine and I did drywall with him.
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:16.559
I didn't really know anything, and all the time he would just tell me about like ways to kill people and like you know, certain kicks Marines do, and he would he would just like shut, we wouldn't even work.
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:24.319
He would we just drink beers and like do karate, like in in whatever job site until like the client came over and they were like, What the fuck are you doing?
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:32.400
Um we would get fired a lot, but uh but rehired, or we just end up on another shit job working for nothing.
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:39.200
And I think the first day he picked me up in a pickup truck, and uh we drive past some cops, and he does this.
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:44.480
He's driving, and he's literally driving with his like face covered by his hat, and I was like, What's going on?
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:45.920
He's like, Whoa.
00:25:46.319 --> 00:26:01.279
See, yesterday I got into it with a guy driving next to me, and I threw coffee into his window, and then um it kind of went over him and it hit his daughter, and she turned out to be retarded, and then I just fucking took off.
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:04.640
I was like, Oh fuck, dude.
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:06.960
So we went to the job site.
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.799
I'm like, already like, what did I get into?
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:09.920
This is crazy.
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.160
That must feel that must be feel bad.
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.599
Dude, no, like that's a bad thing.
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:18.720
No, I mean, I you could he was genuinely like that was the most fucked up thing I've done in like at least six months.
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:19.759
I feel sorry.
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:24.480
And so at lunch, we went to Jimmy's saloon and like got stuff.
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:26.000
He's like, we gotta go in the back real quick.
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:26.960
And I'm like, what's going on?
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:27.680
Like, what's the deal?
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:30.559
It's like, see, Johnny Leeds is this is another guy, Johnny Lee.
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.279
See his truck, we gotta take his license plates, dude.
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:36.000
I can't fucking drive my license plates around there looking for me.
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:44.559
So we and I knew Johnny Lee's, but I was like a kid, so I was like, stealing his license plates, and I like skate with the guy.
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.279
And then we just like went to work.
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:55.680
And then you hear like Johnny Lee's like, dude, some motherfucker took my license plates.
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:59.119
And I was like, you know, like days later, I was like, I don't know what happened.
00:26:59.200 --> 00:26:59.599
That's crazy.
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:07.519
They do that here, like, and uh, and the last finally I quit because I was like, I can't be in this world, like it's insane.
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:16.720
We're almost getting in fist fights with other contractors, and so I was gonna go find him on a Saturday, and I I knew he'd be at Jimmy's saloon just drinking all day.
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:20.319
And I texted the skate shop next door, I was like, Is Kyle over there?
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:21.359
I gotta go quit.
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:27.039
And my buddy's like, dude, he's wearing a fucking dress and he's hammered.
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:33.200
I was like, oh no, dude, I can't face this.
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.279
So I fucking called him and was like, hey man, I gotta find something else.
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:37.839
I can't do this.
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:49.680
And he was like so heartbroken, and I felt bad, but and then in my mind, I'm like, he's wearing a dress doing like whiskey shots, and it's like two in the afternoon on Saturday, and they're probably on cocaine.
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:54.160
So like whatever my like compassion is, I can stuff it.
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:57.680
Uh, because that's really he doesn't care.
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.319
Like, I was just I was a lot of days I was he'll get over it.
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:06.240
I was just driving him around while he'd be laying in the back of his truck just drinking Heineken's and like throwing them out while I'm driving.
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:07.119
Wow.
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:08.960
Um, what is he doing now?
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:10.960
Oh, he God rest his soul, he died.
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:16.720
He got like some sort of cancer, but it was this like I'll take this wherever I go.
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:21.359
Like that, like I've I've seen so much of it, and I I loved it too.
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:25.119
As much as it was like we're building houses in a snowstorm, yeah.
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:30.400
I get it gave me perspective on everyone's bullshit that I'm just like, dude, come on, shut the fuck up.
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.839
No, it's important to do these sorts of jobs.
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:34.559
I think so.
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:40.880
Like it's um because then you feel happier when like shit isn't terrible, yeah.
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:59.279
But other jobs like and you can also like get really good at that job and sort of like get out of the chaos storm and like start your business or something, but like when you're on the like ground level, it's um the one guy I'll end with this.
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:00.640
This is pretty cool.
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.039
Uh, do you remember Eric Pupeki?
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:05.359
He skated for Menace, he was pro.
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:06.720
Maybe, yeah.
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:15.359
He moved back home from California after he retired and was like just looking for work, and we were like, Holy shit, dude, Eric Pupecki's like coming to work with us.
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:19.039
And uh, they were like, Manute, you gotta fucking tell him what to do.
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:20.240
I was like, I'm not telling him what to do.
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:21.519
It was like, someone's gotta pick the garbage up.
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:22.160
You gonna do it?
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:23.839
And I'm like, oh fuck.
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:34.720
So I have to like go to my god of skating and be like, hey man, so like the dumpsters over there, and like all this shit you gotta pick up, put a trade dragon over there.
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:36.720
I gotta go, I'm I'm gonna go in the other room.
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:46.880
And uh, but the cool thing is he parlayed that into his own plumbing business, and he's like been doing it for like 20 years, and it's like he's like sorted.
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:55.599
Wow, but he had to come back and like start as the garbage guy on a construction site full of skaters who knew who he was, yeah.
00:29:55.920 --> 00:30:01.039
Um, but he just fucking he buckled down and just like built a new life.
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:02.000
That's amazing.
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:07.440
It's pretty cool, fantastic for because that could break your ego in one day, yeah.
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:09.359
Like, yeah, definitely.
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:12.079
I thought the fortitude was like from stardom.
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:18.079
He was in videos like just years prior, you know, to emptying the tracks to sign autographs and shit.
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:21.599
Yeah, and then he just was like, Well, fuck it, I just gotta do this.
00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:24.319
And uh feels like yeah, it's pretty sick.
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:28.400
I I I was always hyped that he didn't just like freak out, you know.
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:29.759
Shit.
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:46.880
Um but yeah, that that just the run into those dudes because I haven't met anyone that does any sort of like manual labor here, maybe one or two people, but to sit and talk to them about it and kind of like get nostalgic was fun, and then I just was like, Well, I knew a couple characters.
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:50.640
Yeah, it's hard to meet um the normal workers here.
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:51.839
Stockholm?
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:52.240
No.
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:58.240
I mean, but but to get a conversation with them, like you can run into them on the streets and shit.

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:06.640
There's like a bit of a divide right there.
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:12.960
Um I tell you the the story about the Colombian working in in your house, actually.
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:13.599
No.
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:18.960
Because um to the listeners or viewers, I had an office in your building.
00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:21.039
Yeah, the bottom floor where I live.
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:23.599
Like a couple of years ago.
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:35.519
And I was I think I was just walking out to grab some lunch or something, and there was like a fella working in the house.
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:37.759
Maybe it was your apartment, I don't know.
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:45.200
Yeah, it was re like um it was him, he looked pretty rough, like big ass mustache, he couldn't speak Swedish, he had a cigarette.
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:46.400
I asked him for a cigarette.
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:47.920
And I'm like, where are you from?
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.279
He's like, I'm from Colombia.
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.319
Yes, but he said it in like Spanish, yeah.
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:55.680
And he's like, Do you speak Spanish?
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:56.720

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:58.559

I said, Yeah, I speak Spanish actually, uh a little bit.
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:14.240
Yeah, so I spoke to him and he was so happy that somebody could speak to him.
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:18.240
I bet because he hadn't like you know been seen or heard by anyone.
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:24.000
And he was renting like a weird apartment with his son, and they were just doing construction together.
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:31.119
Wow, and uh yeah, we like we hit it off, and uh he's that's so funny, like that you can speak my language.
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:32.880
And I was like, Do you want a coffee?
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:39.359
I have the real Colombian coffee because we had this like an espresso machine with like the there's like one that says Colombia.
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:55.279
Look, see, yeah, so he goes down there to the basement, and there's Jamie and Yarko that you yeah, yeah, the other fellows, rock and roll man, old man who loves rock and roll, and I was like, Yeah, this is um whatever his name was Jesus or something.

He says, He's like, Okay, it's so good, it's so good.
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:16.720
This is really good coffee, and then he kind of, you know, I don't know if there was like a small psychosis going on, but he was like all of a sudden he was kind of remembering the war.
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:20.240

00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:37.280
And then, like, to this day, he's just he's still retardo?
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:38.480
He's Ritardo.
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:41.760
Wow, yeah, nicknames will stick.
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:44.480
It's just like no one knows his names.
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:45.760
Ritardo.
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:56.079
I had that when I moved to New York, I had like everyone knew me socially as Minute or Minute Bowl, and then work-wise, people weren't really sure.
00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:57.920
So there was two of me, essentially.
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:11.280
Like, people had my real name for work, and then socially my nickname, nobody knew the other, and so I I was had like parallel lives going, not on purpose, and then it would like confuse things eventually.
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:12.880
People would be like, Wait, you're him?
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:21.840
Like, I had what like because Minute is a really tall boss, uh basketball player, uh really tall, seven foot seven, yeah, freakishly tall.
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.280
But he actually played in my town before we went to the NBA.
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:30.639
He came and him and Spud Webb were on the same team in my town.
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:43.519
But um, yeah, they tried to call me like Krima Dul Jabbar, Wilt the Stilt, and then Minute Bull stuck, and then that carried to New York via just skating back, like going skating with people.
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:57.519
But uh I feel like it's something in New England, or maybe it's the UK spilling into New England eventually, like the culture of like everyone's got a nickname, and it's almost like if you don't have a nickname, you're kind of like not in the circle.
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:02.400
Yeah, uh because I mean there was a guy, another guy who passed away, his name was Shit Dog.
00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:03.280
That's cool.
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:05.119
And he was like, whatever.
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:07.039
Yeah, who cares?
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:13.519
At least there's like a it's a symbol of love that somebody like you know, I think so.
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:16.639
They name you because they care about you.
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:18.320
Nine times out of ten, that's it.
00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:18.880
Yeah.
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:21.840
Um, and usually it's like the funnier the better.
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:23.280
Piss head is good.
00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:24.639
Piss in the head.
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:28.960
It's like uh what was it in fucking piss in the head?
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:30.559
The shuffle killer.
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:35.679
What's that movie where he's like we we will call you almost?
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:38.079
Is that apocalypto?
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:43.280
I don't know, some move big movie where that some dude just couldn't it was some scene, and they're like, Your name is Almost.
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:44.559
They don't speak in Apocalypto.
00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:45.920
Yeah, but they translate.
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:49.760
Oh yeah, I think it was that where they're like, we're gonna call you Almost.
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:51.360
And he was like, fuck.
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:53.519
That's not a great rep.
00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:54.639
No, that's not good.
00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:59.760
Um But uh I fucking love I grew up with everyone had like 20.
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:09.119
I remember one time I sat in a like a long road trip and wrote down every nickname for my town, and it was like really finely written, no double spacing.
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:11.199
It was like four columns on both sides.
00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:12.800
I was just rifling them off.
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:17.039
And it was it was occurring to me that that was like the currency in the town.
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:20.159
Like you just had to have like five ridiculous names.
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:25.360
Um how's that role here?
00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:28.320
What's up with is Sweden like a nickname culture?
00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:32.400
I think it's like in your friend groups, kind of.
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:36.239
I was always the guy like coming up with the nicknames for people.
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:37.360
Oh, you're the man.
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:41.280
I was that no, because I like that makes things more fun.
00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:50.880
Like we build um when we were smoking a lot of weed, me and my friends after school basically, doing nothing, like you figuring out what you want to do in life.
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:51.199
Yeah.
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:55.599
When you're in like a town that you know never offers you anything.
00:44:56.000 --> 00:45:04.159
Um everything we did was kind of like give each other nicknames, you know, figuring out weird outfits for that character that you built, kind of.
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:05.679
Yeah.
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:14.000
Um it was so fun, and these like we still have these nicknames, and and there's also like you know, spin-offs on the nicknames.
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:15.119
Oh, gotta have those.
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:15.920
They evolve.
00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:22.159
Like um one of my old best friends, David, he's like half Italian, so I nicknamed him Dino.
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:25.840
That's good, and then it turned into Dingo.
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:26.159
Yep.
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:29.679
And then MacDingo when he had like a cowboy face.
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:36.079
And then when we played a lot of like Counter-Strike, it was like MacDingo Zor or something, you know.
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:38.400
It's good when you spin up, yeah.
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:41.280
Like a nickname is so far from the original.
00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:43.119
Like, how does that even relate?
00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:47.920
And it's like, yeah, they just call me like I don't know, lightning cock.
00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:48.639
Yeah, whatever.
00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:52.800
I don't know, like just in your like, it originally started as Jimmy, yeah, or something.
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:55.199
People just kept saying weird shit.
00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:56.400
It's fun.
00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:57.280
No, I love it.
00:45:57.599 --> 00:45:58.800
It's it's it's it's time.
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:06.559
Um but as you get older, it's like it's less like I I I feel like you can't really just like the nicknames are like a young man's game.
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:11.280
Yeah, you can't just be like meet a guy in his 40s and be like, you're gonna be.
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:13.760
I'm gonna get everyone to call this guy something.
00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:14.559
Yeah.
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:17.360
Um, no, you gotta you gotta start out young.
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:18.719
You gotta peek early on that one.
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:21.440
Well, I I had a couple of on you now.
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:22.639
Yeah, what do we got?
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:24.320
We got pop quiz quiz.
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:26.320
Oh yeah, pop quiz Chris.
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:31.599
We got um maybe that's it.
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:32.000
Yeah.
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:34.239
Pair of the hair.
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:35.920
No.
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:37.599
Anti-pile pur.
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:39.599
Anti-piper?
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:40.559
Anti-pile?
00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:42.960
Oh yeah, the pile hater.
00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:44.559
No, we gotta work, we gotta see.
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:45.360
Yeah, you can't do that.
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:46.320
No, no, it's true.
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:47.119
It's not big.
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:49.280
It's cringy.
00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:51.199
It's like worse than dad jokes.
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:56.159
But you can do it to the young, uh young fellas and girls.
00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:00.639
Maybe not girls, but uh you need to the young skaters like they just come to me.
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:03.280
Yeah, with young skaters, you it kind of makes sense.
00:47:03.440 --> 00:47:07.920
Girls, girls aren't gonna be like, yay, I'm you called me retarda.
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:11.679
Yeah, prideful of this now.
00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:14.480
No, it's like I think it's just a young person's game.
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:16.320
Yeah, you can't nickname.
00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:17.360
Things have changed.
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:19.199
You're not allowed to intrude anymore.
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:21.440
It is no country for old men anymore.
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:23.440
Too bad.
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:24.239
What else?
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:26.320
What the hell else is going on?
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:32.079
Well, apparently remote cars is now I'm not down with that.
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:33.840
The remote control cars.
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:35.599
Oh, the toys for fun.
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:36.719
I'm down with fun.
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:37.119
Yeah.
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:38.559
Is that your new thing?
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:41.840
No, I've just seen them.
00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:44.800
I think it's trending now with kids.
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:50.400
Like, they don't want digital, they want something analog, but still like handheld fidgeting kind of thing.
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:51.280
Makes sense.
00:47:51.440 --> 00:48:00.000
I've seen them now, I've I haven't seen them in years, but now like these past three weeks, I've seen like four different kids just shredding.
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:04.719
We see uh you can always tell like if their parents have money or not.
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:10.239
Well, based on like based on the size of the car and yeah and the speed, you know.
00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:14.719
Back in my day, I had one of those cars, but it was like a cord to it.
00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:15.599
Oh, that's rough.
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:17.599
I had that, yeah.
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:21.119
Like you gotta chase you can just like you have to run after it.
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:23.679
So such a bad toy.
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:29.440
Yeah, um, it goes two meters, and then and then you're like you gotta keep moving, you can't post up.
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:31.360
No chairs, not chair sport.
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:35.840
Someone gave uh my kid a a little mini drone jet.
00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:39.599
Oh, and trying to use it is fucking tricky, dude.
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:40.159
Like flying.
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:42.000
The flying things never worked.
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:52.800
But I I understood that someone who's good with this concept, but I was just like smashing into walls, flying backwards, like and I think we broke it.
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:53.920
Fuck.
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:56.960
But uh, I do like that that's coming back, like a physical.
00:48:57.519 --> 00:48:58.079
It's cool, yeah.
00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:02.880
It feels it's it's a part of the puzzle of like the way back from smartphones, I think.
00:49:03.280 --> 00:49:04.559
Yeah, better than the iPad.
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:05.920
Yeah, I've seen them.
00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:20.159
I saw two kids in the park the other day just playing, and one of them had like the you know, the big one who could flip and you know drive on both sides, and you know, it just like and they just drove down like a little slope and then up trees, kind of like a wally, yeah, and doing it.
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:21.440
Or like a trolley, yeah.
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:23.519
Yeah, monster trucks launching it.
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:24.320
That's cool.
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:25.360
It was looked so cool.
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:27.360
I could kill some hours doing that, yeah.
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:28.000
Me too.
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:32.400
But you hear them and you hear the noise, and you're like, what the fuck is that?
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:35.440
Yeah, because it sounds like an animal that's dying, kind of.
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:38.400
Yeah, yeah, like yeah.
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:54.000
We were kids that had like I never had one, but you could there was whole stores where you could go in and build like modifications and like juice your thing up, they were big and like the it was like part of like BMX culture or something, you know, like the dirt ramp thing, yeah.
00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:58.480
And you some kids would just build these monstrosities that were sick.
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:01.199
Do they still market toys like that?
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:04.239
Like, how do they reach kids' minds?
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:13.199
Yeah, I mean, I yeah, of course, but I mean, since I'm not like a target, um, yeah, I don't see commercials like that.
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:22.239
We'll see now when I speak to my phone, but yeah, I don't for sure you'll start getting them, but um but um I hadn't thought about till someone gave my kid that thing.
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:30.079
I was like, I don't even because he's a little a little young for being good at like the controlling part.
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:42.639
Yeah, but he he must uh wish for things when I was younger, yes, a child, I remember like you know, TV commercials, they were so amazing, yeah.
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:50.719
They were like planned and like everything looked so cool around the toy.
00:50:50.800 --> 00:51:00.800
Yeah, if it was a car, it definitely was like a dirty, cool, smoky road, yep, and like the kids always had like really cool outfits, yeah.
00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:08.320
Like baseball hats and like American style on the children on the because it probably was an American commercial out.
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:22.079
But um I wanted to be that kid, so I guess my question is your son, does he want to does he want to be a kid in those I have an answer for part of this?
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:51.360
Yeah, that's I've seen what they do now because you don't TV commercials aren't as prevalent because people aren't watching TV, but there's like kid influencers, like toy influencers that just do like unboxings and then they s they're probably either the parents buy the stuff and then they monetize the videos or the companies are shipping, and um right, because they'll set up like their backyard, and it's just like it's a shitty commercial, but your kid is like, I need that, I want that.
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:52.079
Is that on YouTube?
00:51:52.239 --> 00:52:08.239
Like in like it's like the algorithm will start nudging you towards like basically a catalog of but it's like now you can do this, and it's like a kid and his dad, but it's like trashy and weird, and it just it's you know makes your kid think he doesn't have stuff.
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:13.440
It's actually pretty fucked up that everyone can do commercials now.
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:15.519
Well, it's not fucked up the weekend.
00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:16.880
I mean, of course not.
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:19.440
No, no, it's very good, and we're thankful.
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:22.320
Actually, we are sponsored.
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:23.760
Ooh, big sponsor.
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:24.880
Commercial time!
00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:25.920
Yeah.
00:52:26.239 --> 00:52:28.159
Um insert jingle.
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:30.639
Insert tie jingle.
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:31.440
Yeah.
00:52:32.159 --> 00:52:34.960
I learned what uh leo means.
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:35.760
What does that mean?
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:36.639
Hurry up.
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:37.760
Let's get on.
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:38.239
Leol.
00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:41.920
Well, why don't you hurry up and read the ad.
00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:42.800
Yeah.
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:48.079
Welcome down to home cooked paradise.
00:52:55.760 --> 00:52:57.199
They have cold beer.
00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:02.079
We're not allowed to say that uh uh Anise Jason Borden Suratcha said to me.
00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:04.079
We're not allowed to write it.
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:09.360
Uh because we're not allowed to, you know, sell alcohol.
00:53:09.599 --> 00:53:10.880
We're not they are.
00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:12.719
We're not allowed.
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:15.440
But they have cold beer.
00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:21.199
Well, I know you can tell we're getting popular if we're starting to bump into rules and regulations.
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:24.559
Yeah, we're getting too famous now.
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:25.039
Yeah.
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:28.960
Anyways, they have uh some amazing dishes there.
00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:30.719
And you need to go and try them.
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:32.880
And if you do, say hello from us.
00:53:33.039 --> 00:53:34.079
Yeah, I gotta get down.
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:35.679
Maybe you'll get a little discount.
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:36.960
Oof, a little beer.
00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:38.639
Maybe we go there today.
00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:40.639
Gotta get some food.
00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:52.719
I would say if anyone has any uh uh whopper style nicknames, they should write in the comments.
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:54.079
Please do that.
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:57.199
Or like if there's an Instagram post, just fire up some readings.
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:58.719
What are our nicknames?
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:05.519
Or what are just nicknames that you've heard that are just fucking sick and explain it.
00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:08.159
Yeah, we need to uh involve them.
00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:12.719
Like if your friend had one leg but they still call him you know Jimmy Two Legs.
00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:13.519
That's fun.
00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:15.199
Why would they call him that?
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:15.840
Yeah.
00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:17.199
Let's dig deep, guys.
00:54:17.440 --> 00:54:21.599
Give me some context because just random is like, all right, but I want some info.
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:22.960
Backstories.
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:25.760

00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:28.239
