Okay.

A dude tweeted, a woman will kiss you like this, knowing fully well she got a pad on. And it was a video of a.

[Pat]

Oh, I saw that.

[Sam]

[Gene]

Couple making out. A woman, a black woman responded. And I never gave a hashtag, press that dick on this diaper. And my favorite comment was, here, crinkle hoe. And it's so up. Like, as a guy, like, I don't know if you've been there.

[Pat]

This probably ain't afraid of a little catch up. Yeah.

[Gene]

We're not about to talk about running red lights.

[Pat]

So crazy.

[Gene]

I just want to put it out there. Like, I feel like a lot of people have been in that situation. Like, I've. I've pressed on a pad before, you know what I mean? Like, I feel like everybody's been that morning. You've never. You've never just been like, you humping on a woman that you like and she got a pad on you. She still hump on women like that.

[Pat]

You don't. That's just humping on a woman.

[Gene]

Sometimes you gotta grind. Like, what was you doing now? The dad giveaway is the ass smack, you know? Huh? Ass smack. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can definitely feel it. Or if your girl usually don't wear them big panties. Well, you got a diaper on, baby.

[Pat]

A diaper is crazy.

[Gene]

Nah, it just depends on if she's shitting or not.

[Pat]

That's not what we doing.

[Gene]

We're going to put the International Women's Century T shirts out again. We might leave them this up to Jean. We're letting Jean decide.

[Gene]

We're going to leave them live forever, fog it forever, because that's how long we're here to support it.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

If you want, if you want my blood on one of the shirts. Shirts for me, offing myself for y'.

[Guest 1]

All.

[Pat]

The CDP route T shirts are going to be available and ready to ship right away. Again, those the women's history ones. They're gonna be like a two week turnaround. So be patient if you order those.

[Gene]

Also, just to let y' all know, for those that do listen to the pot and those like plan on coming to a live show. Also, we talk to people more when we know like, oh, this person got Patreon, this person got some merch and stuff like that. So when we got the meet and greet and you walk up to me and then I ask you if you got Patreon, you ain't gotta. You ain't got a shirt. And then you'd be like, bro, what's up? I'm gonna get the out. Pass me that Drake. Fdo. Fdo.

[Pat]

Oh, you know, this is the part of the first year I didn't realize it was April Fools on. On that first.

[Gene]

Yeah, because he. Bro, the world lies so much.

[Pat]

The Internet is just so like, troll. There's all these troll accounts already. So it's like people are lying. Like, Pat said a lot already. So when I see on Internet, sometimes I like, I believe there's one. There's one. I actually believed it was a clothing brand that he sold to Nike or something.

[Gene]

Oh, bravest. Yeah. Yeah. Bravers got us good with that. I really thought that the ones that get me is like, I don't know, April 1st is coming up. So the best ones are made on May30. Because it's just like, oh, like I think someone said that my niece was having twins and she's like 19. I was like, what the fudge? Why are we celebrating? This is over.

[Pat]

Is it?

[Gene]

Do you think, do you think she's fucked?

[Pat]

Do you think people should stop with the. The fake pregnancy ones?

[Gene]

No, because those, those are kind of like the realest ones. And those are like. I think those are, like, bulletproof in a sense of only your best friends get to call you out if you're lying or not. Everybody else that's from a distance, they either can't say, or they have to say congratulations. And everybody know the Internet sways off the comments. You get seven congratulations. The eighth person coming in, like, I think someone.

[Pat]

I think someone was saying, this would have been a good one for Carrie to put her woman input on, but someone was saying crazy to put a woman input on. Yeah, but someone was saying that it's kind of insensitive to women that can't have kids. Or like that birth. Birth is kind of like a sensitive topic too, to be joking about that you're pregnant when somebody might not be able to. To get pregnant.

[Gene]

Yeah. Don't make us take the shirts off the side. No, but, like, you got. Come on now. You know, people always.

[Pat]

There's always something for that, for every joke.

[Gene]

Some of these jokes that people get offended by, like, I'll be on Instagram or TikTok and I'll see somebod complaining in the comments, like, this is so insensitive. How the. Did this get to your algorithm if you're so sensitive? No dark humor should touch your bro. It should just be the Asian dude that keep predicting wars. And bro, he up my timeline. Bro, he got me thinking I'm about to die or some. He like, america will lose this war. Shut your ass up.

[Pat]

You know that MD motivator guy? He's on Instagram. So he'll do, like, the. He'll pretend that he's homeless, and then someone will give him, like, some money, and you ask him for money, and then he'll be like, oh, then he gives him a car or.

[Gene]

We met him, right?

[Pat]

No, yeah, we met him at Not Gary Vee thing.

[Gene]

Yeah, that was him.

[Pat]

No, no, he wasn't popular back then. There's another guy that was doing that.

[Gene]

Oh, it's another.

[Pat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll know who I'm talking about. But I feel like it's coming to a time where I'm afraid that he might get canceled soon. Because I feel like when somebody's doing so good on the Internet and being, like, very, like, humble and giving a lot. Some. Someone's gonna find something bad about him and. And cancel him. I feel like just the way the. The Internet moves.

[Gene]

Has he done anything?

[Pat]

He hasn't, but I just woke up. I just woke up. I just looked at his Face one day. I was like, Because, I mean, look at that, bro. It's going to be something, bro. I'm telling you. They always find something to cancel you about.

[Gene]

They cancel the other dude, though. The one that he's still doing it. The dude that, like, be going up to, like, homeless families and, like, getting a story, and they end up buying him a car in a house.

[Pat]

Yeah. I haven't seen him as much, though, I won't lie.

[Gene]

He just. He had a very popular one with that black woman, but I'm pretty sure he making videos all the time. I met him, though.

[Pat]

Yes. You met him?

[Gene]

I met him.

[Guest 1]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Yeah. Give you a car?

[Gene]

He asked me to borrow some. I said, nigga, watch out. He said, bro, you got a dollar for the vending machine? I was like, yeah, my dollar. Those are my favorite type of pranks, though. You ever seen those pranks where a guy walks in, so he'll have his friend at the end of the line and walk into a gas station. There's four people online. He'll walk to the third person and just be like, hey, you got $30 I can put on my tank? And then, obviously, you had a gas station in the hood. Shit, not happening. Nine times out of ten, no, I don't have it. Then they'll. He'll ask his friend who's like a setup actor, and be like, oh, my God, that's what I wanted you to do. Here's a hundred thousand dollars, and then they celebrate right in front of the person. That's my biggest fear.

[Pat]

And so it is unfair, though, for those type of situations, because sometimes it's like, I might not have $30 to give you. I might have $30 in my. My account, but, like, I might not have it for you. I need this 30.

[Gene]

Yes. My other biggest fear is, like, someone I win some type of money like that, but the Internet shames me into, like, donating it because you know what I mean? Like, we're almost reaching that status where, like, people assume, like, oh, he got a couple hundred thousand, a bank account. He might got a meal or something like that. So if I win $10,000, they'd be like, oh, yeah, where you donating that?

[Pat]

That's what they're trying to do to Kai. So that one time with the Mr. Beast team water thing, they're trying to guilt him into, like, oh, I donated 300,000. You need to donate more than that because you're perceived to make more money than me.

[Gene]

What did he donate? It was like, I forgot, like, a Million, though, didn't he, or.

[Pat]

No, it wasn't a million, but it was just something he donated some amount. I don't know if he donated or not, though, but, like, they were trying to. I hate the pressure.

[Gene]

I remember we were talking about. Yeah. A long time ago. Yeah.

[Pat]

I hate the pressure. Yeah.

[Gene]

Somebody's. It just be like, people be sending me, like, gofundmes and stuff like that. And I was like, yeah, bro, I'm about to put $50 on here just like I would before. Yeah, I can't, you know? I mean, you want me to pay for the whole thing? I am not D. Rose. I don't got money. Like, I did some petty the other day that just reminded me of, like, I didn't round up my total, but then I let them keep the change

[Pat]

at where it was.

[Gene]

I got a goodwill or some. It was like, I ain't supporting the cause like that, you know?

[Pat]

Give them the cash.

[Gene]

No, Gene. Donor farming is crazy. So the other day I was at Goodwill.

[Pat]

No Gene. Trying to count the money in their face. And that's crazy.

[Gene]

You go there, count. I counting a bunch of 50s, and then give to your ones. They see the money go down in real time, man. Shout out to Tiger woods, though.

[Pat]

No, Tiger is.

[Guest 2]

Is.

[Pat]

He's checking himself into rehab to get some help.

[Gene]

Hopefully he ain't dry there.

[Pat]

No. Because that is crazy. He is the meme central. Like, like, to say, I just got off the call with a president is like, all right, bro, you still. Yeah, yeah. Sit in the back of this car, nigga.

[Gene]

Like, I actually believe him because I actually believe, like, Tiger Woods, a billionaire golfer.

[Pat]

Right. He might have called the president.

[Gene]

A billionaire golfer. Golfer is like, the richest sport ever. That's like, for a rich person and the best person to ever do it, who's also a billionaire, hits your phone. I don't care if you're president of the United States, you probably do pick that up. I really believe.

[Pat]

I don't.

[Gene]

I believe that was Trump.

[Pat]

I.

[Gene]

That was Trump on the other end.

[Pat]

No, I don't believe. I believe he has Trump's direct line to that. You can call him, right? Yeah, I don't believe in that moment, he was talking to President Trump. I think he. I think I'll give him the benefit. Doubt he might have tried to call him and then he didn't pick up.

[Gene]

Just get in the car. I'll get you out that orange say.

[Pat]

But that is, like, it. I don't know. It's. It's a privileged thing, too to be like, to be. Get into that much trouble, and it's just like, oh, I can. I'm gonna check into. Into rehab to get help. Like, everybody doesn't have that opportunity to.

[Gene]

I love when people find out that, like, I say, like 70 of cops are some, like, I want to call them lame ass, but they like lame ass when it comes to, like, pop culture and media. Like, these people are like going out every day and like, they're being a cop. They're watching the news. They're not paying attention to what's. What. It was like when Justin Timberlake got pulled over and tried to pull out I'm Justin Timberlake card. And they're like, who.

[Pat]

No, they definitely knew who you are.

[Gene]

But I think some, even when they know who they are, they aren't obsessed with.

[Pat]

No, no.

[Gene]

Because I feel like that's part of being a cop. If you're a cop, you feel like everybody should be held against the law the same exact way equally.

[Pat]

I think it's it. It eggs them on a little bit. Like, it makes them treat them like. I know that you're. You think you can get away with anything you want. But he. Justin was funny too, because he was trying to say I'm Justin Timberlake without really saying, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Gene]

I'm not gonna lie. Like, if I pull over Justin Timberlake, I'm treating him the same way. Yeah, ever. Unless he start dancing and singing. Go ahead blowing this breathalyzer. But I get it though. You're right, though. That's just like. Like anything else. It's like a scout coming to your game. You know, this tape is about to make national media. Why would I treat you different? I got to.

[Pat]

Exactly.

[Gene]

I got to arrest you.

[Pat]

You know? You know, this body. You know, this body cam footage is definitely coming out, bro.

[Gene]

You got, you got. They probably reading like off of like chat GPT. Like, make sure I don't especially say

[Pat]

anything wrong with Tiger situation too. Like, it was a rolled over vehicle.

[Gene]

Like, you're by yourself.

[Pat]

Somebody has to go to jail. Somebody has to. Now he started doing this.

[Gene]

Now he started doing a d. What the. What the is this?

[Pat]

Got on one knee, bro, and blew a zero. He didn't blow even anything alcoholic, right? It was all like pills probably.

[Gene]

I think where he. Where he messed up up at. He should have act like he was injured or that he seized up. He should have, like, got some medical attention because, like.

[Guest 2]

Oh, yeah.

[Gene]

Coming to a crash, right? And I know Tiger woods history. Like, yeah, that's a up Part about Tiger woods, like his breakup, his car crashes, all that shit is like etched in stone. Like it was a historic moment.

[Pat]

Exactly.

[Gene]

So like, you should have got pulled

[Pat]

in the ambulance right away.

[Gene]

Yes. The cop already know, bro. He already know your history.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

And then you walk up from the crash and you perfectly fine and you move, moving. So like if you're right, if I just saw somebody roll over their vehicle and they're walking fine.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

You're going to jail.

[Pat]

Yeah, I definitely, if I was tired, I definitely would like my back, my knees, something, bro. You would have to put me in the back of the ambulance so I legit on that ambulance ride. I would have had the opportunity to like come to and like, you know, come down on whatever the I'm on and then have a articulate conversation with the body cam on. Because I think it was sweating, bro.

[Gene]

Exactly.

[Guest 1]

Bro.

[Gene]

The person, you know, you're not gonna sway their opinion are the. Are the cops.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

But the person, the person's opinion you can sway are the ambulance people. Like on the way there, just be like, yeah, bro, I seized up right. I had a little mini heart attack.

[Pat]

Brother was in the back of the police car, bro, with a looking like ET with the ET means, bro. Like legit going through it back there.

[Gene]

Why was he screaming like that?

[Pat]

I think. Oh, there was another one.

[Gene]

Because I thought they be getting computer.

[Pat]

No, no, I thought the whole. I thought the whole police interaction was AI. I was like, there's no way but that saw then saw that they're using AI from the police interaction. I thought this was fake. Some of the that he was doing, I said that's fake. Him like tweaking out in the back of the police car. I thought was fake.

[Gene]

I thought the president one was fake. Donald Trump. Imagine Donald Trump being on the end of the line after you just rolled your off.

[Pat]

No, because you know they're going to ask Trump one of his next press things.

[Gene]

No, they not asking Trump no more. You want me to tell you what Trump said this morning? Oh, this is what I don't like. How he keep tweeting on True social, then screenshot the shit from True social and post it on Twitter. Just tweeted. He said Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day. Basically saying telling Iran that we're going to bomb your power plant and bridge day all wrapped up in one Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the straight, you crazy bastards or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise to be a lot to praise be to Allah President Donald, he said that? Yes.

[Pat]

Praise be to Allah.

[Gene]

Praise be to Allah. On Easter. Oh, my God.

[Pat]

That's crazy. I mean, it means God, but still. He's, like, being funny, though.

[Gene]

That's what I'm saying. That's why he, like, he trolling like that. You sound like the penguin and. Yeah, bruh.

[Pat]

It's like one of those dudes that, like, talk from behind, from the safest place ever, when it's like, actual troops are going to have boots on the ground. They're going to have to, like, deal with this and fight these wars and stuff like that.

[Gene]

But that's. That's every president. What was he just talking about? That presidents ain't got to do that no more. It was a situation. Was talking about, like, how dumb. Like, because it used to be like that the kings and presidents used to actually fight in the war because they used to be, like, the top general.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

And now we got people just calling shots and bombing shit and then just hiding behind other people dying, and it's crazy. Bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro. I just let y' all know, my physical ability is dropped. I cannot serve.

[Pat]

That's when. This is one I'm gonna actually mention. I'm Nigerian.

[Gene]

No, that's a good Nigerian job. I wouldn't blame you. Shout out to Ty Lou, coach for the Clippers. Sorry, ladies, little sports talk, but not too long. Ty Lu on the Spurs. This is what he commented. We couldn't withstand their thrust going to the hole. We couldn't control their penetration. Like, when do you think? Like, obviously you understand that in basketball games, right? We couldn't withstand their thrust going to the hole. We couldn't.

[Pat]

Thrust is a very unique word to use. Yeah, I would say that.

[Gene]

Tripping.

[Pat]

No, you're not tripping. Thrust is very unique.

[Gene]

That's not B ball.

[Pat]

Yeah. Yeah. I've never heard something like. I've never heard anybody say that with basketball.

[Gene]

I try to, like, look to the greener side, but thrust is crazy. Thrust is crazy. We couldn't control their penetration. I. I've heard that before. Like, you got to penetrate.

[Pat]

You got to penetrate the D. Yeah, I've heard that. That one. You just have to accept that one.

[Gene]

You got to suck the dn. You got to penetrate the D. Jason Terry said. Why somebody think I said the.

[Pat]

For the first time, they were trying to give us, like, the. The breakdown of pause. The. Like, the historical. Like, I'm not saying that it didn't start in New York, but everybody will say something started where they're from. Especially back then when it was like,

[Gene]

Paul's definitely started in New York.

[Pat]

We. There's no way to for sure say that.

[Gene]

Thousand percent.

[Pat]

It got. Maybe got popular in New York. But there are still people saying pause everywhere.

[Gene]

No, but I'm. I'm.

[Pat]

I'm still young enough not to be in that. Like, with the Cam and Mason. I'm so. That they were saying it before I probably was born.

[Gene]

Yeah, my. My thing.

[Pat]

But I'm just saying the people always. I'm not saying it's not made in. It wasn't started in New York. I'm just saying people always say something started in their city because they heard it in their cities. Like, where else. Where else would you know that it didn't start from somewhere else? But you're not. If you didn't travel it.

[Gene]

Paul's definitely started from New York. Thousand percent.

[Pat]

Listen, I'm not saying. I'm not saying did it, but I'm just saying, like, how can you prove it?

[Gene]

No guarantee. I don't think there's any debate about it because, like, the first. I had lived a lot of places before I end up moving to Charlotte. So when I was in Charlotte, there was like. I don't know why. There was like, a lot of New York kids that moved to Charlotte. And I got paused so much that year that, like, I had to change my whole vocabulary. This is like 10th grade. So pause is.

[Pat]

I've heard. I've heard Paul since I was a kid in Chicago. So. But I'm just saying. And I didn't. I didn't. Yes. Since I was a kid in Chicago, there's been pause. Or there's been like the. The no homos as well. Yes, but that's the same. Isn't that the same thing?

[Gene]

No, it's not the same thing.

[Pat]

I'm saying now it graduated to not being the same thing. But it was the same thing back then.

[Gene]

It used to be.

[Pat]

We said pause in Chicago, like, was in high school.

[Gene]

Yes, you're right. Okay, but I.

[Pat]

But I'm just saying. I'm not. But I can't say. I wouldn't say that Paul started in Chicago because I don't know where it started.

[Gene]

I think they're just talking about the word pause. Okay, but if you're talking about the other one you just said, which I won't repeat.

[Pat]

Oh, my God.

[Gene]

Come on now, bro.

[Pat]

That's crazy.

[Gene]

So, Jean. So g. You said no, it's gonna

[Pat]

[Gene]

Got a question for you, bro.

[Guest 1]

What's up, Pat?

[Pat]

Okay.

[Gene]

What's something you're fed up with?

[Guest 1]

So I'm fed up with women using me for a free meal.

[Pat]

How you know they're using you for a free meal?

[Guest 1]

So I won't say it's probably happened in the past, but it just happened last week. And this is a woman that hit me up first, like, found me on Instagram. I'm like, cool. Okay. When we get to Texas for, like, a few days, I schedule. You feel me? A little date. Prior to the date, we wasn't really texting, but the day comes around, boom, I pick her up. We have a great time. We go to this little interactive kind of sport. Y' all know how, like, the golf.

[Pat]

Sorry, I'm hearing myself, like, top golf. Don't worry. You good?

[Guest 1]

All right. No, not top golf, but, like, the. The simulation. The golf simulators. Yeah. So it's a spot around where I stay at. It's like, they have that, but they have, like, other sports, like baseball, archery. Like, a real fun time, right?

[Gene]

Yeah.

[Guest 1]

We getting to know each other. We playing games, having a great time.

[Caller with canceled show]

Leave.

[Guest 1]

We get some food. Still a great time. Getting to know each other. I take her back to her car. On the way there, she's like, oh, like, when am I gonna see you again? In my head, I'm like, damn. Okay. A woman taking initiative in 2026. This is a blessing in disguise. I'm like, we'll figure it out. She's like, okay, cool. She get out the car. She's like, we're gonna figure it out, right? I want to see you again. I'm like, yeah, like, we really will. That was the last time she talked to me. It's been a week.

[Gene]

Did you send her anything? What have you text her since?

[Guest 1]

So actually, the next day, she was getting her hair done. She sent me a picture. I'm like, oh, you look real good. Okay. What you doing? No response. I kind of let it rock because I feel like everybody makes time for what they want. I'm like, she won't text back. She might be Busy. All this.

[Gene]

I'm going to let you know you already dropped the ball. But that's if you might have missed that sign because she didn't want to see that sign. But it was a reason why she sent you her hair.

[Guest 1]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I asked. No, she got her hair done. The hair was done. I said, oh, what it looked like, and then she sent the picture.

[Gene]

Yeah. And you.

[Guest 1]

No, no, listen, listen. If you're saying that, I suppose to answer how much it was.

[Gene]

I'm definitely not telling you that, but I'm just saying that's why. That's why she ain't hit you back.

[Pat]

What do you think your name is? Saved that as in her phone.

[Guest 1]

Oh, I don't think my number say, bro. Her number not saying neither.

[Pat]

All right.

[Gene]

What the Are we talking about?

[Guest 1]

What do you mean, what we talking about, bro? It's. We. We went out like it's a date. Okay. We go on another date.

[Gene]

Cool. So you haven't asked her. You haven't asked her on a date since?

[Guest 1]

Listen, after the date, the next day, we chat for a little bit midday. I'm like, okay. Like, what you doing? Because I was. I was going out of state. She ain't respond. I'm like, okay, cool. Next day, no response. Cool. Third day, no response.

[Sam]

Cool.

[Guest 1]

Then on the fourth day, I'm like, something off. So I call her. She like, I'm at work. I'm gonna hit you when I get out. And she never did. So I'm like, damn, I hope she enjoyed a free meal.

[Pat]

This has happened multiple times,

[Sam]

bro.

[Guest 1]

If it happens more than twice, it's. It's just not. It's. It's too common.

[Pat]

You might not just been a vibe that day.

[Gene]

Yeah, you. I think. I think you think the conversations are

[Pat]

way better than what they really. You might be giving yourself a little too much credit.

[Guest 1]

All right, all right. I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell y' all what I really. I really feel like it was a great day. Number one, I ain't gonna too my own horn. I'm a great vibe. Like, it don't matter who I'm with. You know me. You don't know me. I'm a great time. But listen, the girl was very affectionate, right? By that, I mean, like, I would say, like, my love language might be physical touch, but off a first date, someone you just met, you don't really want to do too much for them to be comfortable. But she was overly comfortable, which I didn't I didn't mind. Like, she was very affectionate. Like, touching me, hugging me, like, come here, let me give you a hug.

[Gene]

She said that to you? She said, if you were here, Let me give you a hug, bro.

[Guest 1]

Yeah, bro. Like, she was telling me, like, come here, like.

[Gene]

And you didn't you, like, did y' all kiss me?

[Guest 1]

Yes. She initiated. Like, she wanted.

[Gene]

But that's what we saying. Stop, stop. Look, yo, okay, I'm listening. Don't do that. She literally gave. No, she literally gave you a test run. She, like, see if you could kiss. She's seen if you was a vibe. She had a conversation with you, and she left the date like, man, this kiss, like, he's still in middle school.

[Pat]

Or like, you said she used you for a free meal, but broke as.

[Gene]

You know what I'm saying?

[Pat]

Exactly. Because I've heard. I've heard of the situations, too. I've heard the situations, too, when the. When my friends be like, the girl using for a free meal, and it's like, less effort that was put into the actual dinner. You can tell from the. From the get go that she was just here for the free meal during the date. Yeah, you sounded like you guys actually have a good time. And it might not just been the vibe, bro.

[Guest 1]

I'm saying a great time. Like, she's asking, like, when am I gonna see you again?

[Pat]

Yeah, she might.

[Gene]

And then she evaluated when she got in the car. Right, Right.

[Guest 1]

You know what?

[Pat]

It might have just been a bad day.

[Gene]

This.

[Guest 1]

This.

[Gene]

How many times y' all kiss?

[Guest 1]

Probably like three times.

[Gene]

And did she. How many times did she initiate it

[Guest 1]

twice the first time? Because

[Pat]

that's what I'm saying.

[Gene]

You initiated a kiss. She had to do it twice. She was obviously on.

[Guest 1]

No, she did it.

[Gene]

Listen, listen. I'm not. Listen, listen, listen. This is your problem, yo.

[Caller with canceled show]

Listen.

[Guest 1]

Hardheaded n. Think he got all the vibes.

[Gene]

And honestly, not.

[Guest 1]

All right, Pat, I'm listening.

[Gene]

Okay. She initiated a kiss twice. I'm saying, like, I rarely hear of that. I'm gonna just put it out there. If a girl initiates a kiss twice, she wants you to probably do it double the times that she did it. She's not just initiating the. In this on her time. So for you to only do it one time, you just showed her, like, she probably, like, this is not the type of dude.

[Pat]

What do you mean? Because my assessment is you could be right, that she did probably use you for a meal. Right. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that if she was already using you for a free meal. I don't think the effort. She's already there. She's already gonna get a free meal no matter what she does on that date. So I don't think she would have to put in the type of effort for the free meal that you. You know, if it was actual vibe.

[Guest 1]

I. I agree. 100 agree, Pat. I ain't gonna lie. I thought you region, but.

[Gene]

No, no, listen, listen, listen, listen. This is what I'm. This is what I'm gonna give you. I honestly believe that your conversation was a vibe. That's how I think she got to the kissing part. I don't think she would, like, initially kiss you and then be like, oh, his vibe is off. So I think your vibe was on. And then she went to the physical part of things and said, bam, this dude ain't aggressive enough and he can't kiss. It just is what it is.

[Guest 1]

You know what, Nick?

[Gene]

You better practice.

[Guest 1]

It really could be, bro. All right, I'm good where I'm at, brother.

[Pat]

That's what Josh said last time, too. He said he was good in the West.

[Gene]

What happened?

[Guest 1]

Oh, my God.

[Pat]

All right, bro. You have a good one, man.

[Guest 1]

Appreciate y'.

[Sam]

All.

[Guest 1]

I'm gonna see y' all on the 16th. Yeah.

[Pat]

All right, bro. See you, bro.

[Guest 1]

Hello.

[Gene]

What's the word? Oh, this is cool.

[Guest 1]

All right.

[Pat]

Where you from, bro?

[Guest 2]

Dc.

[Pat]

DC you coming to the Baltimore show?

[Gene]

I am, yeah.

[Guest 1]

Actually, me and my girl coming.

[Pat]

Hey, turn up. I got a question for you. What's something that you're fed up with?

[Guest 1]

People with office jobs making stupid ass stories to get out of work when they could just say that they're not feeling well.

[Gene]

Like, what?

[Guest 1]

Just because, like, okay, people will talk about cars. People will talk about whatever it is and the repeat excuses and all that, but in reality, like, I don't know, it's giving. It's giving, like grade school is giving, like, excuses for why you didn't turn in your homework. You know what I mean?

[Pat]

But don't you feel like people are saving their I'm not feeling well card for the time they actually need it?

[Guest 1]

I hear what you're saying, but, like, I don't know. To me, you can do it, like, pretty often. Like, I feel like all the time. I do it, like, if I want to get off in the afternoon or whatever.

[Pat]

I just did that today.

[Guest 1]

Like, just because my girl's birthday was yesterday and she wants to play some tennis. So I said I wasn't feeling well, and here we are outside I'm not gonna lie.

[Gene]

I actually would. Like, if I was like a CEO, which I am, but if I was like a CEO and I had employees in it and they just said like, I didn't do it because I'm not feeling well, I feel like that is more respectable instead of like, oh, I can't do it. My car broke down. And it's the third time you use this excuse. Like, bro, go get a new car, bro. This shit pisses me off.

[Pat]

You're the reason I don't have one though. Pay me,

[Gene]

do more.

[Pat]

What's your message to those people then?

[Gene]

I don't know, like if you're, if

[Guest 1]

you're working an office job, like you're probably not working for yourself. Like it's not that serious, obviously, like, do your. Keep your job.

[Gene]

Do what you got to do.

[Guest 1]

Like, obviously I do. I'm not, I'm not about to lose my job, but like, I don't know, just do your own. Sometimes, like you gotta, gotta give yourself some time, give yourself some space.

[Gene]

That's, that's a good message, man. Sound like a snitch to me though. We got the word snitch on the phone. He come to people cubicle. Like, man, that was a long ass break.

[Pat]

Was that your 15 or you're 30?

[Gene]

Are you working until 6 today? Cuz you came in at 10.

[Pat]

So I'm just trying to figure right to the door.

[Gene]

Just trying to figure it out, man. I don't know if you're the boss. Said we're getting off early today.

[Pat]

I don't get it. All right, bro, I thought you're going through a ratatouille.

[Guest 1]

I appreciate it.

[Guest 2]

Yeah. What's going on?

[Pat]

What it do? What it do

[Guest 2]

around.

[Gene]

Okay. I got a question for you.

[Guest 1]

Yeah.

[Gene]

What's something you're fed up with?

[Guest 2]

I am fed up with deadbeats dad who thinks they can come around after 13 years, no calls, no birthday calls, no graduation show up thinking they can come in with arms wide open, asking

[Sam]

for a kiss

[Guest 2]

and thinking they're welcome back.

[Pat]

Sounds kind of personal.

[Gene]

This sounds very personal. Like

[Guest 2]

it does. All right, let me tell y' all something. I'll tell you something about my dad. I do. Left me when I was three. I saw this dude last time in the back of a window from a car waving goodbye. Let alone that was the last time I'll see the dude in 11 years. And then after that I met him like 11 years afterwards that event. How saw I do for an hour and didn't. Didn't see him again for another three years.

[Gene]

That's not like.

[Guest 2]

That dude. Like what he said.

[Gene]

No, go ahead.

[Guest 1]

All right.

[Guest 2]

And then I do. Cheers. Like, tends to lecture me about my life and how that dude is even part of my life. How was that dude knowing what I'm doing, what I'm not doing?

[Gene]

What's one of the lectures he gave you?

[Guest 2]

He was like, stay in school. Don't do drugs. That dude was a gang banger. I'm talking about.

[Gene]

But, like, maybe he's speaking from experience. Like, he trying to, like, make sure you don't go down the same path he. He went,

[Sam]

bro.

[Guest 2]

He was not even my life, bro. I don't even know what path he

[Gene]

took throughout those years.

[Guest 2]

You feel me? Like, how you better tell me something not to do when you did it yourself. But I might I even in there to see what you're doing. That makes no sense.

[Pat]

He wasn't part of the process.

[Gene]

What's your relationship with them? No.

[Guest 2]

Hell no. That dude texted me. I don't even answer.

[Pat]

Oh. What's your message to him, though?

[Guest 2]

You're lucky, bro. My mom may pay. No child support. 18 years. The one time you gave me money was a hundred bucks in a hat.

[Pat]

What type of hat?

[Guest 2]

And that's. It was just a New York Knicks.

[Caller with canceled show]

At

[Pat]

[Guest 2]

Nah, bro, I'm from Ohio. And also y'. All. Y' all chose Cleveland, bro. Why all the way up in.

[Gene]

[Guest 2]

Me, I'm in school right now. I'm in. I'm a firefighter and EMT and training, so I'm doing that.

[Pat]

So.

[Guest 2]

So if y' all need to get a little soaked, let me know.

[Gene]

Pause. What's your. What does your dad do for a living, bro?

[Guest 2]

That dude does. You know when people from Best Buy install, like, the washing machines and whatnot? Yeah, he does that.

[Gene]

That's not a bad job.

[Pat]

That's respectable. Hey, man.

[Gene]

Does he have any other kids?

[Guest 2]

He has three other kids he takes care of instead of his only son.

[Gene]

Oh, all three daughters?

[Guest 2]

Yeah.

[Gene]

Where they. What they do? They successful or they what?

[Guest 2]

[Pat]

Oh, okay. So you Just probably don't.

[Guest 2]

No, you don't vote mom. Yeah, he tried to again, but he tried like, three different times, bro. But I think I said my mom took the head when she. When he left him. Once you left her, I meant for another girl and nicked my mom for 2k and never showed up. Damn.

[Caller with canceled show]

Hi, this is Sam.

[Pat]

Hello, Sam. How's it going? I just saw your DM right now, so I was just. You had something to say about us canceling the Birmingham show?

[Caller with canceled show]

Yes. Oh, my God. I was looking forward to that. Like, I've been going through it. This has literally been the worst year ever. And the silver lining was going to be coming to y' all show.

[Gene]

You was counting on us. That's what's been going on.

[Caller with canceled show]

I'm about to jump off the bridge.

[Pat]

No, no, I don't do that. You can come to Atlanta, though. It's not that far.

[Gene]

Make sure you cash at me what's left in your bank account before you jump. But no, don't be selfish. No, for real, though, what happened in your life that. That you needed a silver lining?

[Caller with canceled show]

So my aunt that I was really, really close with passed away, but it was in December, and so she went on hospice, and I became like a. Like a caretaker. So I just kind of watched her fade away. That's been really difficult for me. But, like, two weeks ago, I got fired from my fucking job. It's a lot going on, I think. Somebody putting, like, voodoo or some shit on me.

[Gene]

You gotta. You got enough. I gotta buy you an evil eye. You got enough to. You got enough to make it to Atlanta? You got enough money to make it to Atlanta or Nashville?

[Caller with canceled show]

Oh, my God. Why you saying I'm broke? I never said that.

[Gene]

No, no, I'm asking. Cause we gonna give you a free ticket to the show. To Atlanta, Nashville show.

[Caller with canceled show]

Okay. And y' all gonna cover, like, travel and hotel and all of that?

[Gene]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Caller with canceled show]

I've been looking y' all up. Y' all doing pretty good.

[Gene]

No, I'm broke. I'm broke, too. We just gonna give you free ticket. Matter of fact, just let us know if you can make it to any of the shows. Left.

[Caller with canceled show]

Except I don't have a job. I'm, like, hella available.

[Gene]

Okay.

[Pat]

How far is Atlanta? Atlanta's like, what, an hour and a half?

[Caller with canceled show]

Two hours? Two and a half hours?

[Gene]

Yeah. If you can make that drive, we'll put you on a list vip. You just walk right in.

[Caller with canceled show]

Awesome. So who do I need to give my information to? Y' all responded quick as hell.

[Gene]

Just dm. Just dm, Gene. And send about your info, and we'll get you added to a list. Yep, gotcha.

[Caller with canceled show]

Okay. And hotel and gas and all of this.

[Gene]

We didn't say all that. We got you free. Free meet and greet. Let's do gas.

[Pat]

Is what, like 50 bucks?

[Caller with canceled show]

Yes. It's getting ridiculous. And y' all know I don't have a job.

[Pat]

I'm not paying for a state. But I will give you 50 bucks for.

[Gene]

For gas if she come competes in. Oh, you gotta do karaoke when you get there. We're gonna do karaoke at the show, and we'll pay you 50.

[Caller with canceled show]

Okay. I'm not. I'm not a shy person, but why did y' all cancel the show? Because of the slow ticket sales.

[Pat]

Yeah, slow ticket sales. And because I know y' all do things a week of. But that doesn't benefit us that the tickets legit would go half off and then we'd probably go there. Make like 300, 500 or some. That's why they wait till.

[Caller with canceled show]

So y' all canceled that, like, three weeks ago, though. Like, it ain't even.

[Gene]

Come on now.

[Pat]

It's just the way the other tickets were moving. It was very irregular.

[Gene]

So, yeah, like, all the other. All the other ones shot up to, like, 150, 200. Right away. As soon as we released a link, Birmingham jumped up to eight. Like, come on now. We love y', all. Birmingham. We'll try again in maybe, like, a year or so. Something. We'll try again, but we just might

[Pat]

not have that much motion there. It's fine.

[Gene]

Yeah, it's just you, maybe.

[Caller with canceled show]

No, it's okay. Because, like, if y' all know me, that's enough. Like, I'll get the word out. I actually need two tickets. Let me bring someone with me.

[Gene]

Yeah, you bring somebody here. Go ahead.

[Pat]

We got you with two tickets.

[Caller with canceled show]

Okay, so I'll DM Gene. And then what?

[Guest 1]

I mean, when you're.

[Caller with canceled show]

Did I make the pot?

[Gene]

Yeah, you making a pot. But that mean you don't need no gas money because you need to be getting on that other person.

[Sam]

Need to.

[Gene]

That's 25.

[Caller with canceled show]

Don't tell me what the I need after y' all just crunch my world. I'm standing on the bridge. I just gonna lean on. No, no, no, no.

[Pat]

Come to the show. But you have to come to the show. I'm not. We're not gonna give you the money. Be the. The $50 for gas before you come to the show.

[Gene]

Yes, we'll reimburse you.

[Pat]

Yeah, yeah,

[Caller with canceled show]

that's cool.

[Gene]

All right. Yeah. And we gonna see you at the show. You can press us like we. We not going nowhere. Come on now.

[Caller with canceled show]

Will they be checking for weapons?

[Gene]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Caller with canceled show]

I'm just kidding.

[Gene]

I'm just kidding, guys.

[Pat]

All right, you have a good one.

[Caller with canceled show]

Like, dark humor.

[Pat]

What it do? What it do?

[Sam]

Nothing much. Thanks for having me back. Thanks for having me back.

[Pat]

Back.

[Sam]

Okay.

[Pat]

I never knew you're on the pod, but again, we never.

[Sam]

Second time. Second time.

[Pat]

All right, what's something that you're fed up with?

[Sam]

So I work at a car dealership, so I'm on the phone all day, and I'm just fed up with people calling, asking the dumbest questions.

[Pat]

What. What would be a dumb question?

[Sam]

For instance, before y' all even call, customer call from Alabama, and I'm in Michigan. And he asked if one of our trucks had all wheel drive. He said, he's looking on the website, gave me the vin, and he read it says, awd. Is that front wheel or all wheel? I was like, sir, that's. That's all we'll drive. He's like, but I don't see it. I'm like, sir, awd, all wheel drive. And it just. It pisses me off all day. They calling, asking these dumb questions specifically to older folks.

[Gene]

What's. What's another dumb question you got.

[Sam]

Had a customer call once asked about an electric vehicle, the Hummer. And they said, if it's electric, what's the miles per gallon? I was like, there is no miles per gallon. It's electric. So how do you fill it up? I explained to them, again, it's electric. It was like, so where do I. Where do I go get the electricity from? Where I get the electricity from? I said, you can either charge it at a station or get an at home one. They said, so do y' all sell the at home station? I was like, no, we sell the car. I'm just. I'm getting fed up with these people.

[Pat]

If y' all sell it. If y' all sell it. Like, if y' all sell electric vehicles, I would probably ask too. Like, hey, do you get the station too? Damn what city do you live in that people are asking these type of questions?

[Gene]

Alabama. Alabama.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Sam]

No, no. They. They called from Alabama. The first customer. I stay in Michigan. Yeah. Yeah.

[Gene]

Where are you from?

[Sam]

I was born in Detroit. I work in Redford.

[Gene]

Okay. You come to the live show?

[Sam]

I am. Yeah. I'm just. Next paycheck, I'm gonna get a ticket.

[Gene]

Okay, that's a bet. That's a bet. What's one more dumb thing that somebody asked you? Because that. That last one was a little iffy.

[Sam]

Okay, let's see. Probably on one of our used cars, we have a Dodge Durango here. They were asking, why doesn't it display the Ram badge? They were thinking that it was still, like, Dodge Ram. Like, it was back in the day again, an older customer. So I'm telling them, like, oh, yeah. They branched off now. So it's Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep. And then Ram. He was like, so is this a phony? Why is there no rain badge? I was like. Like, sir, I just explained it to you. It's. They're separate now. And I was just. He asked that question probably three times during my test drive. I was so fed up. I was like, man, did he just put a Ram badge on it? No, I said, if I put a Ram badge on it, will you buy it? He was like, but then it's. It's not real, is it?

[Gene]

I was like, you know what, bro?

[Guest 2]

You got it.

[Sam]

You got it, bro. You got it.

[Guest 1]

All right.

[Gene]

All right, bro.

[Pat]

All right, bro.

[Sam]

You have a good one, Y', all, too, man. Peace.

[Pat]

All right. Peace.

[Gene]

Somebody tweeted, and they put in quotation marks. These kids different. Said every generation once they were no longer kids.

[Pat]

That is true. I still think these kids different, though.

[Guest 1]

I just.

[Gene]

I literally just saw a video. Like, I. I. One of my places are near, like, a shopping mall. These kids got together for a meetup.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

Over, like, five or six hundred. And fought.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

And like, okay.

[Pat]

It's a teen takeover. It's going on everywhere right now in America.

[Gene]

And I want.

[Pat]

No, it's just, like, people are doing different teen takeovers. And, like, there's one. There's one in New York. There's one in different. Any other state, too.

[Gene]

And I don't want to say this generation too crazy. Like, I've. Like, I've. I've done that. When I was younger, her, like, we used to meet up at the movies.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

I literally, like, one of the most famous fights of my city growing up for my generation was that somebody fought during what's The. The. The movie with Chris Brown in it.

[Pat]

Stomp the Yard.

[Gene]

Stump the Yard. Somebody fought during the premiere of Stump the Yard, and the brawl started directly after Chris Brown died. That's the beginning of the movie. Yes, exactly. And it was literally because Chris Brown died, I think somebody got up and said some shit, and it just started the fight. It was just like, we used to meet up at places, but these little. AT C. It's like, yo. I mean, like, these fighting that. Y' all fighting in front of Arby's.

[Pat]

Where's the meats? I think. I think, too, it's. It's interesting because it's like, I saw another. It was like another meetup, right? Teen Takeover meetup with lime scooters. And it's just interesting because it's like we're meeting up with no objective. Like. Like, we're gonna get these scooters, and we have no objective where we're going, what's gonna happen, who's gonna be there. We're just showing up.

[Gene]

Yeah.

[Pat]

And even I was younger, it was always like, who's gonna be there? Type of thing. And I was like, there's someplace I wouldn't go, because I'm like, I don't want to be there with this person. These kids do not care. I think the Internet, back when we were younger, back in our day, if we're gonna do, like, a meetup like that, it would have to be word of mouth, and it's word of mouth takes a little bit longer to kind of spread, especially if you, like, plan it the morning of school. Right. Are we gonna meet at the mall after school? Right. Boom. This is like making an Instagram post. So you're gonna have thousands of people that make pages. They make pages,

[Gene]

especially around Milwaukee, I think maybe three pages to. To post something, and they'll get almost every kid in the city.

[Pat]

And it takes 12 minutes to get everywhere. Here,

[Gene]

this. This. I'm not gonna lie. If you have, like, a sibling, a little cousin, niece, nephew, that's around, like, the teenage years, take them in this summer.

[Pat]

Yeah. Do something. For sure.

[Gene]

Something. Take them on a trip, four days. Show them that it's something other. Give them another thrill than riding around a city, not doing nothing, loitering in front of be.

[Pat]

I know. They've been making me feel like uncs now. Should I be looking at my window and like that? No, I get it. I get it, though, because I just don't think there's a lot. A lot of activities for especially kids in the inner city. I Don't. I think a lot of the activities are being taken away. Like, growing up, for me, it was just like sports was a big thing. Like I played baseball, basketball, football, like all year round. There's always a different sports. In the summer. We did like the summer camps from like nine to four, so it was like something to always do. And especially in like, some cities, I feel like there's nothing to do. Why are you laughing?

[Gene]

Because I just, just. I just thought of a funny ass concept.

[Guest 1]

What?

[Gene]

Like this might be speech in the rain summer.

[Pat]

What do you mean?

[Gene]

Like, you might have to like round up a bunch of kids and it's like rated outside.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

And then you give it a speech like, we gotta be better. Like it's a football game. Life could be over real soon.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

Jay, what's your GBA? 1.9. That's what I'm saying. Niggas is stupid. We not thinking.

[Pat]

I think more rec league stuff, though. Like anybody from Chicago would know this. We had Chicago park districts, so there was always a rec league. There was a fall rec league and a summer rec league and there was always basketball. And they did the drafts and stuff like that. And they made it fun. I don't think there's enough of that. It's like either you're playing high school or aau, but we had that, that other in between thing of just like, just normal. City park rec league.

[Gene]

Bro, I'm not gonna lie. Like, the. It's fucked up because I think these kids are outside more doing shit more because shit is boring around. It is because, like, I, I think about like what like we grew up with. In like a basketball rim was enough to occupy us for like three, four hours. You know what I mean? A basketball rim and some dice, right? The whole day y' all said, we good. These, like, I'm looking around, like, some of the cities, I look around like you look at a restaurant here, like it's so many restaurants opening. Like, like, bro, like these kids ain't got to do. It's like, of course they're trying to get crab legs.

[Pat]

This week I saw, I saw a tweet saying me thinking of different reasons why this person is calling me before I answering the call. It's like somebody's calling you. You see they're calling, like, why would this person be calling me? And you're thinking about that before you pick up or you don't pick up.

[Gene]

Did I forget something?

[Pat]

Yeah, there. There's certain people that call you. Like, why is this person calling me? I Know like it's not a text. A call. A call is crazy.

[Gene]

That's exactly what Donald Trump was thinking.

[Guest 2]

A flip.

[Caller with canceled show]

Yeah, yeah.

[Gene]

What's up tiger? Hey A. I can do man. You going to get back in that police car? Yeah, we at war right now. But I'll talk to you later, bro. Just go ahead and take that charge.

[Pat]

But did y' all ever have that though when somebody like is calling you and you like you don't know why this person is call. Like they're. You're not on call basis with this person to have a conversation.

[Gene]

It's you only person that can shock me like that is a woman.

[Sam]

Woman.

[Pat]

Yes, that's true.

[Gene]

That's like a dude too sometimes.

[Pat]

No, usually dude for me is if somebody I don't talk to like that I know they're calling me. I've never really talked to them on the phone. They're asking me for something.

[Gene]

That's how I assume the broke gotta be broke. Why is it history class with freshman year in college calling me gotta be broke. You know what I mean? Like there's no reason you should be calling me unless you're broke, bro. I can't do it, man.

[Pat]

But a girl, A girl is like a rant. Especially if it's like. Like a girl you never talk to on the phone. It's like why are you calling me now?

[Gene]

That's. Come on now I'm in the car

[Pat]

with my girl too. And you're like, you're calling me right now like what man? And you have to pick up. Yeah.

[Gene]

Cuz then she going, why you not answering? Yeah, who is? Do not answer. Oh well, maybe we should follow instructions. Bab. You never follow the rules.

[Pat]

That's all it said. Especially if it's a girl you don't talk to all the time. Or at all. Especially if it's a girl that you had like limited interaction with. You probably saved her name as blank, blank name, whatever. Plus where you know her from? Because it's not somebody you talk to all the time.

[Gene]

Oh yeah.

[Pat]

So now you. It's a lot of explaining to do when the were you in Cancun? Who is destiny? Cancun? Like what, you went to Cancun?

[Gene]

Who the is Terry from Diamond City? Diamond City is. It's like a Walmart downstairs.

[Pat]

It's a girl I met on GTA rp.

[Gene]

So Diamond City is a strip club? Yeah, they named it after a real strip club, but it's a strip club. And GTA rp.

[Pat]

Yes, yes.

[Gene]

I'll pack My clothes on the table.

[Guest 2]

I got it.

[Pat]

I get it. It just make you have unnecessary conversations because it could be. It honestly could be nothing. Right? Yeah. And usually the case, I feel like for a lot of dudes it might be nothing but having to explain that nothing. And you might even forget like small details of that, your interaction. So now you kind of sound like you're lying because now you kind of like going back and forth like, no, I met her here. Actually, I met her here. Oh, oh, actually switch from this. And it's like now your stories kind of get convoluted.

[Gene]

No, the up part is like usually women, they do a really good job of making it seem like you haven't lost touch. So they'll call you and they'd be like, hey. You're just like, wait, wait, why you say hey? Like, why aren't you doing like the like exploratory hey? Like hi. You know what I mean? They'd be like, hey, what's up, big man? Don't you used to call me big man in college?

[Pat]

Especially if the call got a tall. In college I this tall shrunk. Especially if you're driving. It's in the car. Right? I know every dude has done this. Their face legit. You act like you don't even see it. This is everybody's face when they're driving. Act like you look, you look awkward because you're trying to act too normal.

[Gene]

One time I swiped the start the notification so fast. I said I was looking for the time. What time is it?

[Pat]

But the thing I did it was a past relationship I did was like I hit the end button too fast. Like it was just like out of like muscle memory. It's just like boom.

[Gene]

Oh, you folded.

[Sam]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Let that ring.

[Gene]

No, the best thing to do is press talk and press in.

[Pat]

Why?

[Gene]

Because it kind of him up just like. Yeah, I don't want them to leave a voice mail. Who is that? It's just like I don't even want to talk about it. I just don't want them on my life. I'll tell you about it later after I think about it. Oh man. This tweet say be such haters. You could win the lottery and a be talking about but after taxes he's

[Pat]

no, I think that's like, that's fun hate though. Cuz I have to hate like that. I will hate if somebody's like want a billion dollars or some of the lottery. I be hating because it's not me. I' no, I'm going to Be real. It's not me. So I'm going to find a way, like, oh, he probably going to be broke in like five years. You know, people that win the lottery, they always go broke.

[Gene]

It's like a bit like, that's. I love that percentage. I used to have it in the back of my head. But it's just like. I think my hating thing is that I think the lottery is a conspiracy. I don't think, like, our government will hand out random money to a random person. I feel like you got to fall under some tier. Who bought this ticket? Is it the person that secretly wants the government to burn down? We're not about to let this win $100 million. You know what? I'm.

[Pat]

I feel it.

[Gene]

Yeah, well, check this hard drive.

[Pat]

That's fun. Hate, though.

[Gene]

Okay? Somebody said, I hate when white people randomly get a black scent when they talk to you.

[Pat]

There's some people that do that.

[Gene]

It. See, I don't. I can't tell people where they from.

[Pat]

You. No, that there's. There's true. But there are some people that do like, the. They'll add a little twang to the. Or just say certain words or certain like, phrases. It's like, all right, bro, that's not in your everyday vocabulary.

[Gene]

No. I heard a white dude say. He asked me, he was like, what cuss say, yeah, yeah, cuz

[Pat]

you think

[Gene]

you mook or something? This tweet say, mom, am I adopted? The mom responded, if we had to adopt, why will we choose you?

[Pat]

That's real though.

[Gene]

That's so real, bro. Like, bro, if you ever think you adopted, like, the only people that should, like, ever think they are adopted are talented people. Oh my God. For real. Like, if. If you think you're adopted, but what.

[Pat]

How do you know what age you're talent?

[Gene]

No, I'm saying the people that should be questioning if, like, if you 610 in the NBA right now and you got a really, really good life, then yes, you need to like, see if you're adopted or not. Because they might have seen you at like three and be like, damn, four foot tall at three, I don't know. I don't know what's a tall three year old. But I'm just saying, like, if you like, burnout and you still stay with your parents at 26 and you walk your dusty ass up to that them basement stairs and say, mom, dad, am I adopted? Like, no, nigga, go adopt a job, my nigga. Go adopt a career.

[Pat]

I'm talk to y' all while Past looking for.

[Sam]

Oh, pause.

[Pat]

Why is that pause? I said I'm gonna talk to you. I'm just trying to fill in the dead silence right now. How y' all doing, though? Like, how's life? Happy Easter.

[Gene]

Wasn't supposed to praise after that.

[Pat]

I mean, they did already. They said, happy Easter back. Stop hating, bro. Come up with the tweet. Tweet of the week.

[Gene]

I got the tweet of the week.

[Pat]

All right, come on, let's go.

[Guest 1]

No.

[Gene]

Finish your speech.

[Pat]

No, it's okay. They good.

[Gene]

I feel like you need to at least tell it. Like, give them.

[Pat]

Y' all good. I know. It's all right. Happens.

[Gene]

Got this. You talking to them.

[Pat]

That's a. That's a very evergreen saying. Y' all good. Yeah. Happens.

[Gene]

Okay. Type. I got you.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

Somebody tweeted, posting a receipt to show that you spend money. Got to be top five corniest things you could do.

[Pat]

Yeah. I feel like it's always interesting. I see sometimes people go to, like, they'll go to Chanel or one of these high end stores and they'll post, like, how much they spend in the store. And I'm like, I get it. But it's like, you already. You could just post the bag. Like, we know, like, it's expensive. Or you in there, like, it's expensive. Like, the price you spent on this. It's really irrelevant. I like, yeah.

[Gene]

To me, that's like an excitement thing, though. I don't really mind that because I don't like, yeah, it gotta be for them. They must have thought, like, man, my rent used to be this, or my mom used to, like, work for this for six months and I'm spending it in the store. That's like investing it in stocks, man. You do what you want with your money. The only I. But in real life, I think the only receipts that should be taken taking a picture of are the ones that are very cheap. Like, I think it's like very, like, brag worthy. Like, yeah, like, okay, you took a picture of your plate, right? You took a picture. You eat with five people. You take a picture of all the plates and drinks, and then you show me the receipt and the, say, $37. And then you got the plug emoji at the top. Like, that's fire to me. Like, damn, you got the plug. You got all that for cheap. I don't want to see you, like, you showed me a receipt and told me me that you spent, you know, a thousand dollars. It's only two of y' all eating steaks I think you are idiots.

[Pat]

I see. I see the receipt stuff too. When people do the. The group tables and then they'll like do the card roulette and they'll like take a picture and like, oh, this person had to pay $1,000. Sometimes you seen people's like receipts and be like, $8,000 for dinner. I'm like, bro, what did y' all get?

[Gene]

That's what I'm saying.

[Pat]

As soon as you leave the drinks

[Gene]

that get them though, like 8,000 bottle. The whole bottle.

[Pat]

The whole bottle. That's what they get. That's what gets them.

[Gene]

It's just like, bro, $8,000 for dinner. Like, bro, I'm eating that twice. I might poop. I might poop in a to go box. I think the.

[Pat]

Honestly, I think the most I've ever spent on like a dinner, maybe like $400. But there was like a big group as well.

[Gene]

I spent. I spent like $600, but it was like. It was like humongous group. Yeah.

[Pat]

I mean, we spent. We spent a th. For we. For our birthdays for everybody.

[Gene]

I guess that is probably like the like.

[Pat]

Yeah, that's the biggest.

[Gene]

1,000 thousand for some pizza too.

[Guest 1]

Yeah.

[Pat]

But that's. I feel like that's different. That's like a business.

[Gene]

That's a business. And we were trying to like, we had company. We were also hosting a birthday.

[Pat]

We didn't take a picture of the receipt at that point, though. I actually did take a picture of it so I could use it for taxes.

[Gene]

But it was a business event, though. It wasn't a birthday party.

[Pat]

Come on, man.

[Gene]

You know what to do. So what do you think about. I don't think we ever talked about the Chris Brown situation where I don't know if she was there with her man or a guy that she brought to the concert. Basically it was a girl going on concert. Let's just stick to that.

[Pat]

Yes.

[Gene]

What we know is a fact. It was a girl going on stage and getting serenade, serenaded by Chris Brown and getting kissed on. So. And we've seen this in the past where women or men can get on stage, depending on like who's performing, and get serenaded by the artist. And then people always wonder, does that person have a significant other at home? And is this okay. And I've been in a relationship or situationship where the person is obsessive over a male artist. And I always thought of that. That as the same as like you being obsessive as the next door neighbor.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

Because if you're this obsessive over him, and it's, like, not the. Like, it's a different type of obsession because some people, like, obsess over the music.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

And they can separate it. Man, I love this song. I'm listening to this song. But you know when it starts to get a little crazy, like, you follow him. Okay. You reposting every outfit. There's one girl that kept reposting each. No, but, like, how many times you gonna post this nigga in the suit? But. No, but for real. But then you'll see that, and then, you know, like, that person's probably also in a relationship, and that person that they're in a relationship with accepts that thing is, like, a normality only because they think their partner is out of range for that artist.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

Until that, they get in range. And, like, if they're that obsessed and they're gonna eventually get to an event with that person, you better hope they not trying to.

[Pat]

Oh, yeah, that video. I would like to hope. I would like to think that girl's not in a relationship and kissing Chris Brown on stage. Stage. Just, like, faith in humanity, right?

[Gene]

Yeah, like, but I believe some girls would admit that, like, to their. To their significant other.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Gene]

They would just be like, yes, if the opportunity presents itself, because they think it's so unrealistic, and they'll even throw it back to the dude and just be like, you can do that with your favorite celebrity. No one is way less likely. Like, Missy Elliott don't want to make out with me.

[Pat]

Yeah, that is true, too. I feel like a lot of the. The women artists, they. They don't do. They do more stuff with women than they would do with a guy on stage.

[Gene]

Exactly.

[Sam]

Yeah.

[Gene]

And it's like, obviously, it's way harder. It's just, like, way harder for a guy to pull that off. It's just like, bruh.

[Pat]

Like, Tiana. Tiana Taylor. I won't say Tony Trump. Tiana was. Was doing lap dances at her shows, but I don't know. I can remember if it was ever with a dude.

[Sam]

Food.

[Pat]

Because she was with Iman at that time. I believe, too.

[Gene]

Okay.

[Pat]

Yeah, so she was doing lap dances, but it was like, you know, I see the shows too, when guys have to, like, keep their hand behind their back and, like, that they're not allowed to touch.

[Gene]

Yeah, Just like, being at the strip club.

[Guest 2]

Yeah.

[Gene]

It's like, gta. GTA taught you that. Can't touch the stripper. Hey, that's such, like, a dumb part of the game. Why Are you teaching little kids hey.

[Pat]

When nobody looking.

[Gene]

Yeah.

[Guest 1]

A meter.

[Gene]

Meter for SA is crazy.

[Pat]

No.

[Gene]

What were we just talking about?

[Pat]

Oh, the Chris Brown thing.

[Gene]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Pat]

There is a. There is a limit, I think, with like, everybody has, like, their hall passing. And I would say some people's girls, like, like the older actors, like, those ones seem more like a Denzel or whatever.

[Caller with canceled show]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Those just seem like, I love Denzel. Like, you know, Denzel's not on stage serenading your girl and like that. And even she, like, fans out about Denzel. It's just like, that's.

[Gene]

That.

[Pat]

That's Denzel. You know what I mean? Not saying Chris Brown's a goat, right? But it's still different when it's like you're bringing. You're in a more of a performing, like, you perform with the audience. So it's like a different experience where even when he's doing the. The meetups, obviously there's some of them. Are we. We did a meet and greet, right? A girl asked us to hold her up. That one's like. Was very friendly. If that girl had a boyfriend, I don't think that would be taking, like, too seriously.

[Gene]

It was a there holding her jacket.

[Pat]

So. Yeah, but I don't.

[Gene]

That must have been a foreplay.

[Pat]

But also because.

[Gene]

Hold you up.

[Pat]

But we're. We're podcasters. It's like, we're not like, I'm a rock star.

[Gene]

I don't know about you, dude. I'm a rock star, dude.

[Guest 1]

They.

[Pat]

They know that especially. It's like, it's a very, like, innocent thing. Like, but there's different ones. Like, she said, hey, could you guys. Eiffel Tower me, me? Now that would be a little different, like, if we.

[Gene]

You lost me.

[Pat]

No, I'm just saying if she asked her to do that, that would be a lot different. That's like, okay, now you're like, you're fanned out. There's different poses that might be. And everybody has their limit of, like, what's acceptable and what's not.

[Guest 1]

No.

[Gene]

V. This crazy, bro. What?

[Pat]

I didn't put you. I said she asked us to Eiffel Tower. What the.

[Gene]

Said we both don't got to participate. It's a fortune cookie break one piece. Yeah. That's crazy. Anyway, we're not Eiffel towering nobody. I'm sorry. We got to put that out there.

[Pat]

No, I give you. I give hugs, though, so.

[Gene]

No, we definitely give hugs to the ladies.

[Pat]

I give. Hey, if I do really want a hug, I give him a Hug.

[Sam]

Okay, bro.

[Pat]

[Sam]

Oh,

[Gene]

Let's start a montage. Put. Put both of the ones back to back, man.

[Pat]

Demasculates them and stuff. Or is it emasculate or demasculate? I'm comfortable with my masculinity. Oh, I'm just. Should I just start saying manhood?

[Gene]

Yeah, yeah, let's try it out.

[Pat]

I'm comfortable with my manhood. That if a guy actually wanted a hug, I'll give him a hug.

[Gene]

Like what? It got to be like a handshake before the hug.

[Pat]

Yeah, yeah. Handshake to a hug.

[Gene]

It's a tap hug.

[Pat]

Yeah, yeah. Like the.

[Gene]

No, no. Hell no. Hell no.

[Pat]

I'll give up. Come on now, bro.

[Gene]

The strong tap hug like it's a football game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like real. You know what I'm saying? That's why I with our show because like when we on our way to.
