Mike
And it was a. It was a feature with burner Boy, too. So it's just like. It just like if we. You were walking down and we're like. And we both were singing. We gave tonight. It's just so random. It's like, why are we singing in unison about this?
Gene
I don't know. Like, two. Like two people that want to get fucked at the same time and they're communicating about it. It's just like. It just throws me off. No matter what your preference is, if you two aren't attracted to each other, I think that's weird as hell.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Yo, bro, do you want to get fucked tonight? I mean, not by me, just in general, bro. Hell yeah, bro. Let's go to a strip club.
Mike
Since we go horny, I don't think, bro.
Gene
You horny?
Caller
Hell yeah.
Mike
I'm just thinking about going to the strip club.
Gene
Let's go.
Mike
I don't think that's ever been in my, like, werper. Talk. Rep. Repar.
Caller
What am I.
Mike
Word am I looking for?
Gene
The reptar.
Mike
What word am I looking for? Save me.
Gene
Somebody say repertoire.
Caller
Huh?
Gene
Repertoire.
Mike
No, you guys can't say that. The same repertoire.
Gene
You got to say it like, repertoire.
Mike
Word. What word?
Gene
How do you say it?
Mike
That word.
Gene
Harder than Bud Crossford. God damn. I said it good the first time. My second time, I was like, God, no.
Mike
Because you're using Gina as, like, a backtrack repertoire.
Gene
It's not in his repertoire.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, but it's not in my word.
Gene
You got to speed, pass it. Repertoire.
Mike
See? And then people gonna be like, oh, Mike, you can't speak and stuff. I could have cut this out and this would never been in the pod. Just know that I'm. I am being vulnerable. Oh, my God. Just keep going.
Gene
The more. Just keep. You.
Mike
Come on now.
Caller
What?
Mike
First minute is crazy.
Gene
I'm just saying.
Mike
Anyway,
Gene
what was I gonna say?
Mike
I said, I've never. That's never been in, like, my playing cards of things to say. Like, to say like, hey, bro, I'm going out, and I'm like, I'm about to get so much ass tonight, bro.
Gene
Yo, bro, I'm not gonna lie. I guess the only time it, like, matter is when we're in high school or college.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
And then you see your boy pick up a girl, and then he looked at you like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's about to go down, and it's like, okay, that's your first time. But, like, if it's a dude and his girlfriend, like, yeah, bro, we about to go in here and fuck. Come on. Like why would I want to be in the same vicinity that hole right
Mike
out of exactly what I just did. Exactly what little baby got mad at what he. I shook up with you for saying a. A regular word.
Gene
Oh yeah, yeah. That mean. But I get that because a lot of people, you know, be assuming just because how people talk they uneducated. So he was trying to debunk a rumor. Like hey, don't feed into that joke because that's. That's the worst thing that could possibly happen. Somebody feed into your joke. But for new listeners. Go ahead, Mike.
Mike
It's definitely harder though with musicians as well because a lot of them haven't gone to college. Like we still have like we can still fall back and say we got a 3.0 in college and got our degrees and stuff like that. And you know, they don't really have much to really go off of their intelligence sometimes. But anyway. Welcome to crash dummies episode 224. That was the longest intro ever. But make sure you guys subscribe to the Patreon. We just dropped an episode there. We got Gene with us here today. Gene, I think every episode you gotta give people what inspired your outfit. Would you. Do you name your outfits?
Gene
You know what somebody. Somebody was commenting on. I just started reposting like some of my fits and again, you know what I'm saying? And somebody kind of like gave their advice or like I guess feedback telling me that they didn't like, they like when I dress like years the way I dress years ago, like vintage and shit like that. So I've just put on some like shit I thrifted I guess I feel like. So there's. There's never. I wouldn't say there's never been a time. Yeah but like I would never take 100% of what jeans wearing and apply it to myself. No, we just not in the same atmosphere. Yeah, it's not. When you can appreciate about Gene is like the colors he puts together and he gives you ideas for colors and schemes and stuff. Like, okay, I might not wear that, but I'm gonna wear something similar that I'm comfortable in. And you appreciate like the colors. Oh damn. I didn't even think about the blue and yellow scheme, you know, like in putting that together. So you appreciate people like that and
Mike
it works and it works for him too. I think with those things it's always about how confident you are when you wear some of your fits. That's I. I play it safe. I'm not even going to lie. I'm never. I'm not going to be like, the super fashion critique. I think I have good style, but I also know I play it, like, somewhat safe. Like, I'll put, like, a crazy top on, but then my bottoms are crazy. So weird.
Gene
He just did his crazy top on. Sometimes I get some crazy top.
Mike
It's so crazy, bro.
Gene
Before I pick out my outfit.
Mike
Oh, my God.
Gene
I get what you're saying. You put a. You put a crazy top on, but
Mike
you go regular on the bottom.
Gene
Yeah, You heard it here first. But yeah, that. Sometimes I feel like I should play it more safe, but sometimes I don't give a fuck. Yeah, you, like, try to push yourself, and then you, like, this was a bad outfit. But these pants are fire.
Mike
Yes.
Gene
You recognize, like, why it's a bad outfit because there's a reason why you put on the bat out. But there has to be something that you really, really like out of it. Damn. I can't talk to that.
Mike
I swear, we were talking so normal before this. As soon as we hit record, nothing like this. Niggas can't speak English.
Gene
Stuttering all through this. I don't care, though.
Mike
I don't really. We could talk about the Crawford fight.
Gene
See, I want white people to hear this.
Mike
Okay.
Gene
No, not. Not to. Not to point you guys out, but this is how you have a proper ra. Like, this was perfect. The worst thing I did was type the couple sombreros. You know what I'm saying?
Mike
Like.
Gene
You know what I'm saying? Like, it never gets too bad.
Mike
Yes.
Gene
Between us. And it's respectful and, like, when it's over, it's over.
Mike
But, like, it's like, it's like, all fun and games.
Gene
Yeah. But, like, when it's like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, y' all get to bringing a water fountain and, like, come on, bro.
Mike
That is so true.
Gene
Like, bro, it's basketball. We ended up on the topic of segregation. Like, bro, why are we debating Ruby Bridges, bro? I don't get it.
Mike
Yeah, it was. It especially because this has always been, like, the thing, the Mexican versus the black people type of. Type of vibes. And, yeah, I've never really seen. There's obviously some people that take it too far. Yeah. But I've never really seen it, like, because it's a fight. It's like the best going against the best. And it's like. It is what it is.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Like none. And it's. It's already a violent sport. So I feel like sometimes the violence just Leave it there.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
It's already.
Gene
They already fighting.
Caller
Yeah.
Gene
Ain't no point for us to fight. But no, it was a great event.
Mike
Great event, great fight.
Gene
I think this is like the first time, like where the hype met the actual match.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
The surroundings of it, the vibes was good. Obviously I got the result I wanted. I'm Team Crawford. Shout out to Omaha 402. We did it. Maybe.
Caller
Yes, sir.
Mike
Yeah, we both. I think we both picked Crawford, but we also said we're not. Because a lot of people try and make me pick out loud and be like, oh, I'm also not going to be like the biggest. Like, oh, I told you so. Because with this fight, the reason it was so great, because it was a lot of unknowns in the fight. Right, right. And when you have unknowns, I think some people don't want to be wrong or when people are right about the result and be like, oh, I'm this, this boxing expert. And with bets in general, it's okay to be wrong or predictions, predictions, not bets. Yeah, yeah. Gamble safely with predictions. It's ok. Be wrong. Especially if you have an informed prediction. Like if I said I thought Crawford is going to win because of this, that, that. Right. But if I just said I'm picking Crawford, Canelo's a bum. This and that, and then Canelo ended up winning. Yeah. That's like you made a prediction based and you're wrong about somebody being a bum.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
But if you make a safe, no insult type of prediction, you just think this dude's a better boxer or better at this sport.
Gene
Canelo's gonna watch, bud. Never fought anybody. Just like when you put people down. Also just realize like, this wasn't supposed to happen.
Caller
Yeah.
Gene
Like you got a man with unlimited money who happens not to be in the United States. You know what I mean? That helps too. And he's a big boxing fan.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
So these two people are never in any other realm. They never cross paths, they never throw punches.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Like, this is like somebody having enough money to just be like, I want to see LeBron vs KD with even teams in the finals for seven games and I'm paying for it. Like, this is like a pay for match made in heaven. So this like pick it. Like when people be acting like they write about the Super Bowl. They both got to the Super Bowl.
Mike
Dumb.
Gene
Like they even teams.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
I told you. OKC will pull it out. Indiana, some bombs. Some bombs that got to the finals and they lost about one game after their best player went down. Like, what do be thinking, bro? I'm getting.
Mike
It was a great fight. Crawford's definitely cemented as the goat. I think it's crazy.
Gene
One of the goats.
Mike
Yeah, one of the goats. But I think just what he did for sure is winning all the belts in three different weight classes is something that I don't think people know how hard it is. And the people he beat, and hopefully this too does, makes it seem like. Because when people. When he beats Spence, people are calling Errol Spence a bum. And I hate in boxing especially, everybody can't be the best. Everybody can't be number one. So just because you're not number one doesn't make you a bum, doesn't make you less than. It just means you're just not better than this person. You're still great. You're just not the greatest.
Gene
Yeah, but that's like, okay, look at, like, look at Canelo. Like, Canelo's been a face of boxing for 15 years.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
So that means everybody think of Canelo didn't exist then. That person that you calling a bomb that lost a Canelo would be the greatest of all time and you wouldn't know any better. So, like some. Some people be calling, like, people bonds. Like, bro, you just watch this on Netflix.
Mike
Yeah. I think to close then I think it's for Crawford. I think it's. I think he's good to retire.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
I don't think any fight that he has coming up next, I don't think it adds to his legacy. It only can take away, like, he can. He'll beat. He'll beat anybody. I feel like he can beat anybody that comes his way, but there's still a box. Anything can happen. He can face Benavidez and Benavidez might be him. And then now it's like, oh, is he the greatest anymore? And he wouldn't get anything like that much. That must cache for beating Benavidez. I've been like, yeah, he was great. We already knew he was great. So it doesn't. That's. I think he should retire.
Gene
But. Yeah, I don't know if he should retire yet. I do. This is why I like the celebs stuff. I love the celeb stuff. Like the Logan Paul, Jake Paul and like that. People would get mad at that. But I think, like, that's going to help us appreciate our boxers even more. Like in two or three years, if Logan or Jake Paul still got something going and they call out Terence Crawford, I get to see Terence Crawford beat the shit out of one of The Paul brothers, you know what I mean?
Caller
Yeah.
Gene
And it's like. And I thank the Paul brothers for that. And I think, like, that's the, like the route to go because a lot of these boxers don't want to risk their career and stuff. That's why I feel like Gervonta taking that route. And so that's gonna be like, Javante gets to be more entertaining. He doesn't have to lock as much in. Like, I think boxing is going to be fun again. So that's gonna be dope.
Mike
It's definitely the entertainment aspect is going to be addicting.
Gene
Going for American and that crazy. That, man. That's crazy, man.
Mike
Well, they have the new AirPods that can translate different languages and man, I can't wait to get them because I just want to go wear them at the nail salon. I'm not going to lie. It's going to be a lot. I feel like the people at the nail salon could be a lot more quieter during feet washing time. Yeah,
Gene
here's Mike Hogg. Now that'd be crazy.
Caller
I hope.
Gene
I wish it translated. Like when people are being passive aggressive.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Like you got them on and just like somebody just like, yeah, go ahead. You can go right in front of me. You're just like, damn, what you gonna cut me? Fuck, nigga, Go ahead, have it. Hold on, hold on, bro, my translations say you talking shit. Nah, I mean, you know what I'm saying? Like people that's like looking for a fight and sh.
Mike
Because even in fighting that happens. Like when the translator says something that the fighter is saying and they don't say it the same way.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Having that, that pizzazz in it.
Gene
What argument did I see is somebody was just like, no, say what he really said because the translator just kept cutting it off. He was like, he says that you're not really ready for the fight. And it's like, no, he's been talking longer than that.
Mike
That's gonna make it really dope. It's gonna make it dope though, for the translation thing too. Yeah. Going to different countries, not really having to it. I guess it's easier to understand people because I think in most countries for me, I feel like I just need to say yes or no.
Gene
No. I think some people going to use it as a lie, though.
Mike
What do you mean?
Gene
Some people going like, sneak them on somehow and just be like, oh, I'm listening to music and stuff like that. And they'll be like, yeah, girl, I speak your language and stuff like that. And they like, Know how to reply to different stuff after hearing it. And then it go. It go. It died down halfway through the day. Shit. What you talk about? He sent to the crib just with
Mike
your fingers and
Caller
God damn,
Gene
you want to fall, stupid.
Mike
You pull out your card and I'll.
Gene
40, 60, 80. You got the. The currency thing up on. Look, this worth more than y'. All.
Mike
Look, the $40 dollars, the exchange rate, it's in her favor.
Gene
That's two bands over here. God damn. Okay. I know a lot of people want us to comment on the Charlie Kirk thing. I won't comment directly on that because I don't. I don't want nobody to take my shit out of context. And I feel like there's other creators that you can find that you can get that information out of.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
But also, I'm not gonna make any comedy out of somebody's death, so I just feel like it's not something for me. But I will pick on the people that were commenting after one person. I said it on the Patreon. I. I hope you watch this, because it's a former co worker of mine. I'm not gonna say where I want people to, you know, find them too quickly, but if they do, they do.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
He posted a black man. He posted a picture of Charlie Kirk next to Martin Luther King and said, how is this not the same?
Mike
Yeah, I saw that. I was like, wow.
Gene
I was like, what are you talking about? Charlie Kirk and Martin Luther King is crazy, insane. Also, like, as. Again, as I said on a Patreon,
Mike
you hear it twice.
Caller
He Google.
Gene
He had to Google both images. Like, you got the balls to go, all right, Martin Luther King got it. Copy paste. Charlie Kirk. So you Google those back to back, which is crazy. Algorithm is up. Also, the, like, the misinformation. Like, I realized that people don't know anything about technology. Like, the more technology we get, the more people are, like, stuck in their ways of, like, how they retain information and get information. And, like, smooth pages are getting better.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
And, like, things that people say, if people don't know what it is, they just believe it. And I saw somebody post a tweet or status or whatever that said, this government is so fucked up. Both of the shooters talking about the one and the Trump one and the Charlie Kirk one, both of them had a discord. And people were in the comments like,
Mike
oh, my God, this is said.
Gene
Yeah, this makes sense, because the government is blah, blah. And I was like, wait, these don't even know what discord. Yeah, anybody 11 year old nephew got a discord.
Mike
People just try to make different narratives. People trying to be first to say why something happened. So they have like a, a big conspiracy. That's just too many conspiracy theories of why things are happening.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
America in general is a scary ass country to be in. In general right now. It's just like, there's just too much eerie going on. It's too much eerie going on in the world. And that's why I like to come in the podcast and you're just like, shoot the. And like, forget about the outside world a little bit.
Gene
I will, I will say, I will say for the people with the tinfoil hats. Yeah, I will say this. I will, I'll give you a little grace because sometimes I get there and sometimes I like, stay away from it. America is like one of the only countries that like admit that something was, wasn't how it seemed at the time. It's like, oh, yeah, John F. Kenny got killed by somebody random. And then you do all this digging, like, ah, the government killed him.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
It's like, oh, the government killed Martin Luther King. And it's like, wait, like, oh, y' all expect you to believe everything we lied about the other. But this right here, this true?
Mike
Like, nah, nah, that's the thing. It's just. And for conspiracy theorists, it just takes them being right about one thing to let them. To continue that cycle of being a conservative. Yeah. All you need to be right once and just be right a little bit. It could be just the little. Because obviously the government does lie to us and they hide things and stuff like that. So there's like, things do get revealed. There's other people with technology to kind of get into this, the administration and like release things. So yeah, it's just, it's a crazy world we're living in, man.
Gene
So crazy, bro. The first six, eight with bad hygiene got called Bigfoot and they're just like,
Mike
yes,
Gene
nigga, just not shaving, bro.
Mike
I was going to ask you a question. Why do you think our fantasy, you know we had a fantasy football league, right? Why do you think it ended?
Gene
Our fantasy football league?
Mike
Yes.
Caller
1.
Gene
I think depending on like another grown man to do something bothers me so much because it makes you like, angry. Like, damn, you can do what I bet on you to do one. And then like me, I don't like being trapped in anything. Like, I, I want to be different all the time.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
So like me watching the same football games for 16, 17 weeks. How long my team's in for three and a half hours on time whenever they play. Feels like a little trap to me. So like once I start stop watching the games, I was just like, yeah, and ain't no money really being in chat.
Mike
That was no money. Yeah, it's like that was the hard thing too about our, the fantasy group we're in.
Gene
We.
Mike
So everybody, you know, sometimes people play for money and stuff like that. And when it was time to. We always want to give the money up at the beginning. And no one wanted to pay into the pot at the beginning. It's like, oh, I'll just pay after. And then, then the after happens and like everybody's like slow to get your money. That's the point. He's like, bro, why am I asking to do for $20? You know, it's not even that crazy money. Also, people stop caring too. Down the seas. There was one time we had a couple in our football league.
Gene
I was just about to say that.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we had a couple. And then the, the guy in the relationship, he wasn't going to make the playoffs, but his girl was going to make the playoffs. And they did the worst trades on earth. Like he gave her like, like, like he gave her like Tom Brady and he got back a four string tight end.
Gene
Yeah. He was basically feeling like her team was already good because she already made it to the championship versus me.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
And then he like filled the holes of her team. Like gave her like a good ass quarterback and a good ass receiver.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Like her team already didn't get her to the.
Mike
In a money league. He' what?
Gene
In a money league and then won a championship and then was like inquiring about the money. I said, y' all ain't giving. Like I was on some like real crash out. Like if that touched his hands, like we was gonna have to throw them. That's like sometimes it's just about the principle. Oh, you cheated. And then like they was like, it felt like they felt bad that they cheated. Yeah. They still went through with a good lineup. And then like when they won, it was kind of like quiet about us. I was like, okay, they don't care. They won, they up the league is it is what it is. And then somebody inquired about the money like a month later. And I got in a group chat like, no, nobody touching nothing. Everybody keep their money. If I see anybody get this person
Mike
money, I'm on your ass too. I got, I got a question for y'.
Caller
All.
Mike
Would you rather your partner know all your Internet history or all your Private thoughts, Internet history.
Gene
She do not need to know. I do not like that hair. No, I mean, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes you just got to support your girl. Yeah, yeah. One little hairdo or the one little makeup thing she do, and it's just like, that's just for her. That's for her. She like, she thinks she look good.
Mike
Yeah. And I'mma support my baby. What are you doing?
Gene
Yeah, I gotta be the Internet history. Yeah. I have way more private thoughts than my.
Mike
Exactly.
Gene
Than I searched. I mean, everybody is curious why Mar Simpson is sucking bar. I just had to see go keep
Mike
passing up this ad. If anybody says. I feel like anybody says, like, the Internet history, they have to be looking up some. Some crazy shit for your Internet history to be worse than your thoughts. Like, your intrusive thoughts too.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
That is a sick Internet history.
Gene
Yeah. Just like your Internet history. Like, you a dude been dating this girl for five years and you got your Google search. How can I get fucked by this girl's dad? Why you got this Google? Then she exposed you online. Like, look it.
Mike
Look at what, you goog bug.
Gene
No, but not private thoughts is crazy, though.
Mike
Yeah, private thoughts is crazy.
Gene
Like, these are my private. I haven't. True. I actually have thoughts that I think only because I'm doing the opposite.
Mike
Yes.
Gene
If that makes sense. Like, I held the elevator for this woman that was on a wheelchair. That my next thought is like, what
Mike
if I close this? Yeah.
Gene
You know what I mean?
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
I do the right thing a lot in my life. I hold open doors. I say hi to any elderly person. Like, I do like, a lot of things that I feel like should be done, but that opposite thought is always there. Like, what if I just told this old dude, man, shut up. Because you know when you get that, when you see an older black man out, just like, you almost like, pay him homage because he's like, you're black. You're a black man that's older. Is like, this is what it's going to be like when I'm older. So you're just like, what up? But sometimes you just want to be like, man, I don't give a fuck about none of that. Say what up to me first.
Mike
Or you apologize in the argument. And then she sees your. Your thoughts and shit. Like, oh, you weren't really sorry about that. Especially because you just say there's some arguments you've been in in relationships where you just said sorry just not to continue the argument. And it's just like, it wasn't there's some arguments that are not big enough for you to continue. It's like, yes, this was annoying, and I think you're wrong, but I'm not angry enough at you doing this to continue arguing. So I'm gonna let it go. But I don't. I don't believe it, though. But I' ma let it go.
Gene
It's a lot of shit.
Mike
I like, just be wise next time
Gene
somebody gonna.
Mike
No, it's gonna be the. Hopefully it's never gonna happen, though. Like, it's never. There's never.
Gene
Never get no scuffle with no women. They like, yeah, it's like a compilation. Is it wise? Is it wise?
Mike
Is it wise? He jumps about it so much.
Gene
We knew it.
Mike
N. If you ever see that, it is a lie.
Gene
Well, it's definitely a lie, bro. Or it was three of them,
Caller
Then
Mike
that actually would be true, though. Was it wise to approach me with the three of you guys? To approach me with a knife?
Gene
If a woman just came on? Like, I'm like, I don't think you should put your hands on a woman at all. But it's just like, okay, every time
Mike
somebody says, but after that,
Gene
if you're being attacked, like, if I was being attacked by one woman, yeah, I would do my bet. Like, I'm not swinging back. Like, I might run away. Like, I don't want to hit you that bad. Yeah, if it's two women, I'm running away. Yeah, if it's three women, I' running away. If it's four, what's up, my, like,
Mike
what's like, who sent y'? All? What did I do? First of all, what did I do to make four y', all, man, who
Gene
y' all think y is a potterpuff girl? How y' all think this gonna go down? Turn Thanos in this trying to Justice League or some. No, four people. I don't give a. Like, sometimes it's just about the numbers. Yeah, it will piss you off that it's that many people there to do harm to you.
Mike
That definitely would run for the bro.
Gene
Because it's like, if two 16 year olds, you're just like, want to beef with you and it's like, y' all must be brothers or some shit. Like, I'm about to fight two 16 year olds. But if it's like six 16 year olds, you like, bro, like, what's up? Yeah, like, what type of thing going on?
Mike
The nerve.
Gene
You think you could take me down? Because you're not going to go like. Like, if you get attacked by, like, 15 little kids. Yeah, like, you're not gonna go to jail for that. Like, come on, come on, come on. It gotta be self defense. That tape in the courtroom gonna look good. I him up. I him up. My bad, My bad, your honor. I you up, though. I you up, boy. And d beefing with him, and then you gotta fight six dads and. Nah, you only ask.
Mike
Six dads is crazy.
Gene
You only ask your lawyer to ask them if they. If you beat their ass. That's the only lawyer my client has requested. I only question you with this question. How bad did he beat your ass? You ought to. You ought to taillight.
Mike
Yeah, I. I honestly don't think six dads would be that mad. I think maybe one. Because I think dads understands. It's like, okay, my son. Why was my son jumping.

So this is what I want to say. This is what I want to say with the pads, right? Usually when you have a roll of tissue, you basically got unlimited tissue. Like, you're not gonna use the whole roll.
Caller
Yeah.
Gene
In a thing. And the rule is you wipe until you don't see anything anymore. So I know that there's not enough pads for you to do that, which means you're dirty.
Caller
Oh, no. You know, use the whole box. You know, you got to be critical. You gotta be.
Gene
But that.
Mike
So you use more than one pad.
Caller
Yeah, hell yeah.
Gene
But. But. But listen, that makes me think that you've you it before and found out there was no tissue and actually had nothing. At some point, if you would go without tissue because you found those. Because you didn't. No, no, no. You didn't go in there and just be like, oh, I got a. Let me look and see if there's anything to have a with.

I got a question for you.
Gene
Of what, though?
Caller
Shut the hell up. It's not even funny.
Mike
I got a question for you. What's the worst first impression you've ever had?
Caller
I gotta say it in the living room because she right here. But basically. Basically, I was coming out of my room, and my. My mom. My mom girl. My mom girl that she was messing with came out the room, and I was. Basically. I didn't know who she was. So then, like, I just put two and two together. Basically, she was gay.
Gene
Oh, tough. Oh, that makes sense. Hey, that's my favorite 50 cent line.
Mike
What?
Gene
Growing up, I was confused. My mom kissing the girl. All right, you gotta look up that song, girl.
Caller
It's about you.
Mike
What you do with that information.
Caller
We went to ihop.
Mike
That was it. That was.
Caller
Yeah, we went to ihop. She was like. She saw me come out the room. She's like, oh, hey. And tried to distract me. So we went to ihop.
Mike
Did you ask your mom about that, though?
Caller
She right here.
Gene
Let's ask her.
Mike
There's nothing to ask.
Caller
They want to ask you a question. They want to ask you a question. What's the question?
Gene
Hey, mama.
Caller
Hey.
Gene
Hey. She said that this is. This is, like, very difficult to say. I'm trying to be. I'm trying to be respectful. She said that, like, I don't know what age it was, but she said that you was doing some things with one of your friends, and she caught you doing it, and the friend wasn't a guy. The friend was a woman.
Caller
All right, Just to be transparent, I guess it's not necessarily doing some things with her. I was in my poly stage at the time, so she was actually a girlfriend.
Gene
Okay.
Mike
Oh, okay.
Gene
Wait, Polly, what's. So she had a.
Caller
Probably, you know, loving more than one person.
Mike
Oh, more than one person.

Well, how many significant others did you have at the time?
Caller
It was just her. One other.
Gene
Was. Was the other one a man woman?
Caller
Yes, a man.
Gene
A man. Okay. Who are you with now?
Caller
There's still the guy.
Gene
The guy.
Mike
Oh, okay.
Gene
Where's the woman at?
Caller
She wasn't up to par. So we finally.
Gene
I get to say my Young Thug line. Something wrong?
Mike
That was a very insightful conversation.
Gene
No, that's crazy. But why'd you go to IHOP after? That's the question.
Caller
Mommy. He said, why we go to IHOP after? I don't know. She, like. She, like. I don't know. She tried to distract me. She kind of fake.
Gene
All right, one more time. One more time. Growing up, I was confused.

So when I was by myself out here in Arizona, I actually would set up Tinder dates for every meal when I didn't have money for groceries. Yeah, not all of them went well, obviously. Yeah.
Mike
How many dates were you going on per week?
Caller
Like, if it was a week where I really had no money for groceries, it was at least five. Like, one for every dinner I didn't have.
Gene
Okay, okay, next question. Did you hook up with any of these guys?
Caller
Maybe like, one or two of them? Not a lot of them deserve to go that far.
Gene
One or two a week or just like, one or two total?
Caller
No, no, I would say like one or two a month, maybe.

Well, they were all dudes.
Gene
Well, six or seven bodies, regardless.
Caller
Oh, yeah. But I was, like, 21.
Gene
Wait, I want to know what the most expensive, like, like, dinner she's had then.
Caller
Oh, it was pretty pricey. But the date went horrible.
Mike
Why'd it go horrible? And what was the price? First, give us the price of the date date so we can judge it.
Gene
Yeah, the price of everything.
Caller
It was like. It was like a steak. I obviously. I. No, no, I obviously did not see the bill, but it must have been, like, at least 400.
Mike
Okay. Okay.
Gene
No, no, that's not bad. Well, like.
Mike
And then what was that? But what was bad about the date?
Caller
It was just, like a tech bro that wouldn't shut up about Elon Musk, and I was just not about it.
Gene
No, I feel it. Yeah. Any. Any political days I'm good on?
Caller
He was just, like, glazing him for having, like, Tesla and stuff. It was really stupid.
Gene
It's crazy. I. I hate when. That's what I'm saying. Sometimes it's good to judge people off of the stuff they do. Right?
Caller
Right?
Gene
Yes.
Caller
Like, you're judging me right now, right?
Gene
There you go.
Mike
With any of these dates, were you going on any of these dates with, like, real intentions of, like.

No, no, no, no, no. The money has to be there.
Mike
Why do you like drug dealers?
Caller
I would hope if you were unsuccessful drug, you would stop dealing.
Mike
Yeah, true.
Gene
You would think that, right? Yeah, it doesn't happen.
Caller
There's a lot of.
Mike
But why is that your attraction?
Caller
I think it's because I know that I am probably more educated than them, so I could teach them, you know, to be better than just living that lifestyle.
Gene
Oh, so you want a little project
Caller
and they just believe it.
Gene
You. You like that?
Caller
Not so much a project.
Gene
No, you like to have control over. You want to do with no car so you can tell them when to be home.
Caller
I know your type of relax. No, he gotta have a car. I mean, I' ma still drive it, but like, he gotta have a car.
Mike
When's the last relationship you're in?
Caller
The one with the baby mama, baby daddy drama, and that was like a year ago.
Mike
Was he a drug dealer?
Caller
Yes. I mean, welcome down, kid.
Gene
How do you even meet the drug dealers? Where you be hanging out?
Caller
Where do I be hanging at? I don't be hanging around them. They seem to find me.
Gene
So they heard about you?
Caller
Not heard about me? No. I'd be out the way.
Gene
How they find you?
Caller
Yeah, social media.
Mike
Are you a purchaser of, like, do you. Do you. Are they your dealer?
Caller
No, I stopped. I stopped talking like a long time ago.
Gene
When a bunch of dudes that have the same occupation keep finding you
Caller
different cities. They don't. They don't even know each other. I make sure they don't know each other, okay? No, I make sure they have no connection. They might have in high school. They might have played each other in basketball for, like, college.
Mike
Arch nemesis.
Gene
She letting the rival
Caller
the experts. Harry. Basketball turned drug dealers? Yeah.
Gene
Oh, that's it? That's your. That's your type, huh?
Caller
No, I'm trying to go for, you know, a more successful put together man, but sometimes y' all be a little hard to deal with.
Gene
Also. Y' all also the fuck yeah, y' all also. It's dumb what you like. Cause you.
Mike
You the.
Gene
The type you like is a. A retired basketball player turned drug dealer, which is. Has to be the worst drug dealer of all time. Who's not gonna know, honestly, that 64 dude is selling coke on the corner
Mike
like it's 6 4, bro.
Caller
Not them kind of. Look, hold on, hold on. Not them kind of. We just go stick the weed because I feel like that's a little serious. You selling co that selling weed means nothing.
Gene
It's literally nothing.
Mike
It's legal in so many states.
Gene
There's people that accidentally sell weed. They got. Yeah, go, bro. I'll give you a deal.
Caller
Yeah, well, look, I'm in Texas, so, like, Texas is not.
Gene
Y' all feel it? Bro, you. You not. You act like you married to Ghost or some shit. Yeah.
Mike
Talking about, like, the Pablo Es or that's Petey.
Gene
I know that, man.
Caller
He good.
Gene
Good deals. I know he a good dude, man.
Caller
That's why I said. That's why I said. I'm trying to, you know,
Mike
what you deem is dangerous. But you said guns, too, though, also in Texas. So that's very normal as well.
Caller
You feel me? Like, it's almost like you could catch him at any. Any, you know, college corner or something at this point.
Gene
Yeah. That he's a citizen. Tell him we talking about that.
Mike
He.
Gene
He got online classes, matter of fact, at devry. He class of February.
Caller
I gotta rely. I gotta find the ones that's really doing it, huh?
Gene
Taking two week courses. Girl, he about to get his GED soon.
Caller
All right, you have a good one, Steve. I'm to change.
Gene
Okay. We got you. We gonna find you, love. Next pie. We got you.
Caller
You gonna find me. I follow you, Hat. No, no, no. I said y' all not gonna sit here and say I was. Look, I'mma show you why they just be handing you money without the prostitution, because I know that's what m say.
Gene
And follow me proves that. What the.
Caller
I mean, if you follow me back, you would see it ain't nothing crazy. I swear to God.
Gene
We both got. That's what I get. Now you. You have a good day, though. You choose better. Choose better.
Mike
I was at the farmers market today, and I was walking by. I don't know what. It was like a dip. Dude was doing, like, homemade dip and like that.
Gene
Huh?
Mike
Homemade dip?
Gene
Like.
Mike
Like.
Gene
Like chip dip.
Mike
Chip dip?
Caller
Yeah.
Gene
Oh, okay. It's like homemade tobacco.
Mike
Oh, I know what you mean.
Caller
Okay, I got you.
Mike
I got you. But we walked by and he was like. He asked my girl. He's like, can I feed you?
Gene
While y' all were walking by.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
That's crazy.
Caller
That's crazy.
Gene
He asked your girl that?
Mike
Yeah, yeah. He said, can I feed you? But I was like, kind of walking like. But he was saying that to everybody, though. That kind of walk. He said, ma', am, can I feed you?
Gene
You're saying it to all the women.
Mike
No, he was saying to everybody. He said to me, too, hey, hey,
Gene
he wanted to feed you too.
Mike
Exactly. Say cuz he tried it and then she's like. He's like, that sounds so crazy. He's like, can I feed you too? I was like, what? I was. I was taking so back by it. But I did try the dip though. I tried to do okay, but it was it. But I get what he was trying to do. He's trying to be different and try to be like, you know, because at the farmers market there's a whole bunch of different vendors and so you're trying to like find a way to like stand out.
Gene
Yeah, okay.
Mike
It's trying to find a different way to stand out to like because you know sometimes when somebody's walking by, you make that eye contact and you. You're like, like hey, how's it going? You just keep walking. You don't want to get held that much. And I think can I feed you? Is definitely like a feet stopper. Yeah. Because I'm walking. It's like. Because it took me a little bit to process. Like why is he asking my girl can she. Can she. Can he feed her?
Gene
Yeah. Another square up moment for me. Tastes good, but
Mike
fire bro. But like square up.
Gene
My part about if he was like feeding people like that be crazy. He was feeding people like like dipping
Mike
a chip in there and actually put it like hand in the mouth.
Gene
Hand in the mouth. And then he wait till it get to you and then he feed you and rub his finger down your n.
Mike
He handed this wooden spoon over.
Gene
But also the other start seeing fist somebody.
Mike
The other thing that's always weird about like farmers market and stuff like that is that you know you have no. You're not gonna buy it. Like I know I'm not gonna buy a dip because I don't eat too many things that just like I just need chips and dips. I don't. That's not like my. In my Is it time my repertoire.
Gene
That's pretty good. Long way from Reptar.
Mike
But that's not something I eat regularly. So it's like I knew I wasn't gonna eat it. So it's just like when you. You take a bite and then you gotta just like like yeah, that was good. You have a good day. It's just like very awkward.
Gene
Yeah. It's not good enough to buy my.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Like what you want me to say? You want me to work? Like I was on shark tank. $10 y$10 5% man.
Mike
Now they be try to get over on them on Shark Tank.
Gene
They be like, yeah, man. $200,000 for all your company and your wife.
Mike
Final deal, like my company. A lot of those people go on Shark Tank. Not like they won't even accept those deals knowing they're going. They're going in knowing they're not going to accept whatever deal. It's just marketing. Yeah, because. Because after you appear on Shark Tank, you can run ads and be like, as seen on Shark Tank, even though none of the sharks took any of your. Your deals and stuff like that.
Gene
Yeah. It also depends on. On sometimes people have great companies and it becomes stagnant at some point. Yeah. Like, they need a really big investor to get that. And like, the sharks know that just like, okay, for the last seven years, you made the exact same million dollar. Like, it's only one up point one. You went from 1.1 to 1.5 in the last four years. I give you 5 million right now.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
For 10. For like 20. And they give it up. And then they take your company up to where it's supposed to be. You're probably looking like, damn, how much money we making?
Caller
Yeah.
Gene
Now we. My.
Mike
Why is it that sometimes when people say, like in a conversation, they say, be honest, Your first immediate thought is, for me sometimes is, how can I not be honest in this situation? I feel like when somebody says be honest, it makes me kind of go to, like, even as I was going to be honest at first, it now makes me, like, think of the other options option right away.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah. You know what I mean?
Gene
Why would I lie Type. No. Yeah, it's a. I think it's a projection, though, you know, because usually I feel like people say that, like, when they're about to ask something that's like, kind of vulnerable to them, you know?
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
But then it leaves you in a point where it's like, okay, should I lie? Because they seem a little, like, vulnerable.
Mike
Yeah. So it makes me want to, like, immediately, like, lie, but lie to make them feel better.
Gene
Oh, okay. Y' all looking at it totally different way. I only hear be honest and like, negative, negative situations sometimes for me, if I hear be honest, it's like, already know. So what I'm about to ask you, I just want to see if you tell the truth to my face.
Mike
Got it. Got it.
Gene
Be honest. Whatever they say I did, I did it. And I'm about to say it with confidence and I might double down. Be honest. Jeremiah said you called me a. Yes. Yes, I did.
Mike
Would you like to know the reason why?
Gene
Is it because you actually.
Mike
I can actually give you 20 reasons why I think you're a. This is not just like a random thought. This is something I really, like, thoroughly thought through.
Gene
If I say something like that, that means I already want to fight the person.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
So, like, if you ask me, be honest in that situation, like, there's no more words that need to be exchanged. This is my fourth square up. We squaring up. Like, I got too much anxiety to be beefing with a. Let' it over with what we doing, man. Don't you wish people would just ask each other that? Like, okay, honestly, bro, we really don't like each other, but, like, what do we really do? Like, do you want to see me dead?
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
And the other person's like, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Okay. You want to see me dead? All right, like, let me know. Because I feel like it's unfair because some people would just be like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna kill this dude. Another person, like, oh, I just want to kind of fight him.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Like on two different levels.
Mike
Yeah. I'm glad to be in a position where this hasn't happened in a while, but I've never had to have a. As a man conversation with anybody or. Or do say, I'm coming to you as a man to man type of
Gene
thing over a woman.
Mike
You're saying man to man about anything. Like, I've never had that type of, like, friction with nobody in such a long time.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Where it's like, especially like over a woman that would be like the things like, oh, bro, I'm gonna come to you man to man. Like, I. I like this girl and she's telling me like that, like, that I'm not close enough with anybody to have that kind of conversation with you.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Because if you're my friend, I'm not talking to your girl like that. Like a girl that. You mean, like, to me, like, if anybody in this room right now, right. We're all. If we're all single and stuff like that, and you're. You even talk to a girl or like you guys had any type of intimate relationship, she, in my eyes is like, untouchable at that point.
Caller
Just.
Mike
She don't. I don't look at her that way. Right. But there's some people that. That will come up to you and like, that just like, if it's not you guys, the person shouldn't be coming up to me that way anyway because he shouldn't feel that we're close enough for that to even matter.
Gene
Right.
Mike
Like, he was at once talking to
Gene
this Girl, Especially if that's our only connect. That should be the person we talking about. It's our only connection. Yeah, I seen G outfit too.
Mike
There's just some conversations in general outside even just like this girl. One is just like, you don't know me well enough to. For it to be that or it to be any type of friction or if you're dating a girl and you feel like your girl liked me, but I never even pursued her like that. Like, that should. That shouldn't be no friction. I don't know you. I don't know you. I don't know her.
Gene
Yeah. On the other side of it, as men or like whoever is in this situation, you should always look at the person that's doing the action. Action also, like, first. It's just like, like so many people out here, like, they'll catch like their significant other cheating or something like that, and they'll go after the person they was cheating with.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
It's like, bro, like, look at the person that did this. Like, it'd be so weird like that. Yeah. Like, wait, what about him? He's still on your couch and talking about, man. I don't like her either, babe.
Mike
Yeah, I think they always care about that you. I think they always care about.
Gene
She said she want to fight.
Mike
I feel like people would care more about like the. If you're close with the person. Also, if there's like a. If it was a girl and it was like her best friend that cheated that did the cheating too, I think there's a reason to be like more mad because you like sometimes I think women would just be like, he's a guy.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
And he's doing what? Like, whatever. You seem like the typical toxic dude would do type of shit. Like he has. He don't got self control.
Gene
The thing about it, what I'm like, what I've learned like through life because I have sisters. Like, my sisters tell me like, women. Women be knowing. You know what I'm saying? And just like. And I think about like all the situations I've ever been in, like relationship or had like a situation. I think back and I try to like, put myself in a position because I think as men, we think we're always the leaders and we think, oh, when I met that girl, it wouldn't have happened without me. Like, I'm the one that stopped right there. I'm the one that did that. And I guarantee you, like 95% of men that think that they bagged a girl. I bet you you can sit down and have a conversation with them. And she put herself in position to be for you to do that. Like some of y' all girls. Like, you think you picked her up at the subway. Nigga, she watched you going to that subway three straigh Sundays at 2:00'.
Mike
Clock.
Gene
Yeah, I'm about to go in there and sit at the table and drop my sandwich and go, oh, my God, I'll pay for your sandwich, baby. What you get a foot long? Damn, I ain't got that kind of paper, baby.
Mike
That makes you think about how unrealistic like, shows were about, like, how to court women. Sometimes it's just like, especially like the high school shows. You see, like you walk in with your books in the hallway in between classes, glasses bump into the girl. You guys drop your books. You both reach down for the books
Gene
and the same book.
Mike
Yeah. And then you're then gazing slowly, rising up and then looking each other in the eye like that never happened, bro.
Gene
Like, who. Who drops books and gets horny? Yeah, I'm worried about the books. God damn. Are you mad at the girl? Get your clumsy ass. I gotta study.
Mike
I just don't feel like I'm ever bumped into. I've never bumped into a anybody and been attracted to them. It doesn't happen like. No, I feel like. Especially like if you're at a club or something like that, wherever you meet some or find a girl attractive and stuff like that, you're doing your best to maneuver your way through that whole scenario where it's like you're always in a good position.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Like, oh, she on that side. Let me maybe like, go to that side of the bar. Go or hang out around there. So I'm a little closer to this situation where I want to be in. Yeah, you don't accident bump into. They had to thinking that was the way.
Gene
It's never the way the women controlled it the whole time. That's how you accidentally, like, she bu. She got up the same time as you. She bumped into like, there's nobody. Unless two people just haven't noticed each other before.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
That's the only time, like, okay, y' all both went to the same unfinished legacy pop up. It's like, oh, I've never seen that girl. And it's. But what's the rare chance that she attracted to you too?
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
You think people are still, like, passing notes in class these days or just like. Like since the Internet came out, it's just like, oh, yeah.
Gene
I think writing. I don't even think kids Write no more. Yeah, I was gonna say they on tablets.
Mike
Nothing more, nothing worse than the teacher. They don't give a though, because I. I understand my teachers so much better. Especially my young teachers. Like, the teachers that were, like, in their 30s when I was a kid. I get them now because they'll see the note and they'll. No matter what's on that note, they're reading that out loud. It can be you confessing your love for this. This girl in class, and they reading that out loud.
Gene
The moment. I don't know if y' all ever had this moment. You ever wrote, like, a girl a love note and she don't know that you like her yet? So this kind of like going off a whim like this being your crush, and. And then you give the boys. Your boys the note to give to the girl, and then you watch them down the hallway don't give it to her. You get to see her reaction, and, like, first she take it, and then she's like, who is this from? And then you can hear your boy say, my boy, Pat. And then they point you at the of the hall. And then you acting like you ain't.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you sidekick.
Gene
You like, God damn, how many bucks I got in this? And then you see her, and then she just chucked the dope like, no, where's my backpack now?
Mike
Or just here? Ill
Gene
hearing. Ill. What you laughing at, G.
Mike
Mike missed it.
Gene
That's how he know.
Mike
No, I heard you, okay? I just ignore. I just ignore.
Gene
Either. Like, either you missed it or you ignore. So I was watching. So I'm trying to get away from sports, but obviously the Lions been drawing me back in for the last three years. And I realized that when I'm watching a sport and my team is losing, nothing is funny. Like, the commercials suck. The announcers don't know what the they talking about. And especially if there's been some bad calls. Again, gets you everything the referee do pisses you off. Like, you become like, God forbid it's anybody that has any real flaws as a referee. And I'm mad like I'm going in on them. And then yesterday I was watching a team, and I think somebody threw, like, it was a college football game. Somebody threw a basketball on the field, and the referee had the basketball and he was smiling. So, like, I was saying, if at that time my team was losing, I would have fucking lost it on that. N. Like, you think this shit a game, nigga? Like, he laughing. Cause he know what moment he in. He got a basket the ref had a bass. Like, he can't do that professionally or he get fired. But somebody threw it on the field and he got that. And he got it like in a basketball. Like he holding it in a basketball position, which will even piss me off even more.
Caller
Like.
Gene
No, hold that like it's a foreign object.
Mike
Yeah, get on the field.
Gene
That dribbling.
Mike
Hold it the same way he held it. The same way he held the green dildo that be getting thrown.
Gene
But they threw that like it was a grenade. It was like.
Mike
I think that's the way you have to throw if you're throwing a dildo.
Gene
They don't call it dildos no more.
Mike
What they call it?
Gene
Dough.
Mike
The dough.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Okay. When you throw in the dough, I feel like you gotta throw it a certain way. You kind of have to, like. Because I think doing this. This risk, if you throw it like this, you're risking the. The. The tip of the dough hitting your back.
Gene
Right, right.
Mike
And it throws.
Gene
So you kind of have too much.
Mike
You have to get it as far away from your body and flick it like a Frisbee.
Gene
No, you're grabbing it too hard.
Mike
No.
Gene
Yeah, you gotta kind of like.
Mike
It's like almost like you grab it.
Gene
It's like a. It's like a finger, everything gripping that way too hard, trying to keep it one last touch. Now you really got a little toss it.
Mike
You might gotta toss it on somebody
Gene
so it deflect, like. So it's like you're not the last person to touch it. Get rid of this.
Mike
You know, there's something. I start to realize how offensive the way you hold something is. Like, there's to be. Sometimes my girl be folding some of my clothes and stuff like that. But sometimes I have my clothes, like, my sweaty clothes on the floor and there's. Sometimes it might. The shirt might not be sweaty, but she still picks it up. Like with the pinch. When somebody pit. When somebody picks anything up, pinching it like that with the two fingers, it's like you're calling it dirty. And especially if it's not dirty, you kind of feel away. It's just like, bro, like, why are you holding that like that?
Gene
That's what it feels like hugging somebody. When you're sweaty. Like you. Yeah, yeah. Sweaty like somebody you ain't seen in a long time. Like, yo, bro, what's good? And you let them know that you're sweaty.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Because if you don't and they react a certain way, you're gonna type of like, you gonna be like, you Gotta be up.
Mike
Yeah. Or they kind of give you. Or they kind of give you the half dap and kind of. You know, sometimes people have like, different d. Like the dap. And you bring it all the way in, but you. You trying to bring it all the way in, and you see the person stop halfway and back out away. It makes you throw you off balance. They restrict the handshake.
Gene
Yeah. I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes I get offended by people that do that because some people just grew up and the way they shake hands just around their friends and is like, they don't really do, like, the back tab or they don't touch shoulders, or they kind of like, even keep, like, a space in between. And I'm kind of like, in between. I don't really do the back tap. I kind of do like a little shoulder bump. What's good, bro? And there's dudes hands that I shake, and they keep space in between. And, like, I don't know why, but I just don't with them.
Mike
Yeah. Yeah.
Gene
Like my. Like, it always, like, it's always kind of like, awkward because it's like it just stops abruptly. Then you got like, look them in the eyes.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, you good.
Gene
Like, they might be cool. They might really with you. That's just how they grew up. Like, n. I don't play them games, bro.
Mike
If I don't know you at all, like, my first time meeting you, I am like a very distant handshaker. Like, I'm stretching my hand out so much where it's like, you. You feel weird. It's like it's too long of a way for you to try to bring it in because, you know, sometimes you're shaking somebody's hand. You have that. That. You have that, like, slight elbow bend, right?
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
I'm reaching my hand all the way out. So now it's like this. So, like, right. Shake my head real quick.
Gene
It's like this.
Mike
You feel weird because now I'll pull you. You see how your shoulder felt?
Caller
Huh?
Mike
You see how your shoulder felt?
Gene
I just don't like you grabbing my fingers. Like, your fingers. I was like, no grabbing my fingers. Like, but.
Mike
But the tip of the fingers too. The tip of the fingers thing too. You gotta have to stretch your arm out. So now you kind of feel. So it's like a. You just kind of like, keep it solid and you kind of keep.
Gene
The fist bump is cool.
Mike
I'm a fist bumper.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
I'm a big fist bumper now, especially just because I don't want to get sick.
Gene
The wrist bump too. I really like the wristband. Like, like, let's meet right there. Like forearms type.
Mike
Now the. The wrist bump in a non sporting setting is kind of weird.
Gene
Hold on.
Mike
Wrist bump with me real quick.
Gene
No, no, that's right here.
Mike
Wait, no, that's.
Gene
That's weird.
Mike
That's a real.
Gene
That's the one that. The. That lady. When. When that lady, that white lady and that white old dude got caught talking about Kevin direct.
Mike
Oh, really?
Gene
He thought. They. Thought they didn't hear him and he went back and she tried to go put it right there, but. Yeah, that's the. That's the one you're eating, right? Like you're eating. Yeah, yeah, that's.
Mike
That's.
Gene
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's good, bro? Bro, you ever seen somebody. Oh man, like eating literally and then just like shake somebody's hand? I judge like they just eating fries or some.
Mike
Yeah. Or they do. Or they'll give you the lazy wipe. Yeah. It's just like I'm about to shake your hand, but let me just. Like, they'll be like, like a one wipe and try shaking. I'm like, I know that still fist bumper this. That you wiped your hand, but take this fist bump. Way too eager for you.
Gene
The thing I don't like is like you got to give yourself a 10 minute cool down from the bathroom. Like, I. I know you wash your hands.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, I know you wash your hands.
Gene
But I shouldn't have to feel the water and soap.
Mike
Right.
Gene
You know what I'm saying? Like, and the soap. Yeah. Or even didn't dry off properly. Like, I'd rather shake a dirty hand. Yeah. Wet clean hand. Because I'm like, now you got me guessing.
Mike
Like even, like even slightly damp hand as well.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Because he's even like, like the 10 minute cool off is definitely a good thing because even when you dry your hands, you still have like. Like you just put on lotion type of hands on. Right. I don't. I don't want your hands to be like slippery like. Or too soft either. Yeah, like too soft of a hand. There's some dudes. I shook the hands like you had some soft ass hands and it felt weird.
Gene
Yeah. Yeah.
Mike
Like that's good for them. Like, I respect them having soft.
Gene
No, that. What are your couch.
Mike
Yeah, I got call toxic male.
Gene
No, for real. I don't. That's the only thing. It's like little flaws that people have that I really wouldn't want. Like, I'd just be like, man, Even though that's a tiny flaw to have and it doesn't mean anything health wise.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
I would never want it. And people with sweaty palms, I'm just like, I feel so bad for them because every time, like, if you got sweaty palms, I think you're dirty as. And then like. And I have no right to say that. And that's like probably absolutely not. Not true. But like, if your hand is wet when I shake it, I assume there's like, it's dirt sick. I think you sick. I ain't gonna lie.
Caller
Yeah.
Gene
Or something like good nervous. Like, what's making you nervous, bro? Yeah. Did a place get robbed 10 minutes later?
Mike
Hey, yeah.
Gene
Especially with his palm on the front door.
Mike
Especially when you just been in the same room with the dude like for. For a long period of time. It's like, wait, what is making you like, like this? No, I'm even it that way. You guys are so weird, bro.
Gene
Yo, bro, you gota be.
Mike
What?
Gene
You guys are so weird. They can put his hands up, man, by. You got. You got my heads wet as hell now. That's so crazy, bro.
Mike
There's something I don't like is I hated when. When I got the we need to talk text and that talk isn't for like another. Another like seven hours. I make them. I make the conversation happen there, there and then.
Gene
Yeah, call me a narcissist, whatever.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gene
And therapy. This is what that. If the therapist brought up, I just put up the double bird. You called me out.
Mike
Yeah. If you tell me you need to talk. If you had the time to tell me you need to talk. You have to have the conversation there and then. You can't say that and then. Can't wait seven hours. Yeah, yeah. Can we talk about talk as.
Gene
No talk now that schedule. Can we talk is over. Especially as like me growing up in a black household. Like I had scheduled ass whooping.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Like, come on now.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
I knew I was scheduled. I knew I was getting my ass beat. Like if my mom got home at 7:30. Like my mom like she like to get her task out the way. You know what I'm saying? Like she beating as soon as she walked. So allegedly. But. You know what I'm saying? But it's just like. But or punishments happen like at a certain time. So like I grew up with that. Like I feel like as a grown person you should be able to demand like, okay, I'm not gonna entertain a conversation unless I. You don't have to tell me everything. Yeah, but you got to give me, like the basis of it. You gotta let me know how important this is.
Mike
The only time I think can we talk is relevant is when there was a conversation prior to that. So I already know what we're about to go talk about because there are some conversations, especially in relationships where. Where it's like you guys had a big argument and stuff like this, and then the can we talk at this time when both of us are free? So I already know what the gist of everything. But if it's just out of nowhere, like, day is going good and like that, and it's can we talk? Yeah, like, no. What?
Gene
He's low key, toxic. You know what you're doing?
Mike
Can we talk? And then. And then it ends up not being anything even bad. Like, bro. Like, no.
Caller
Like, no.
Mike
We gonna argue about something. Something.
Gene
Now that be sick, man. Now just be like, hey, somebody hit you up. Like, hey, can we. Can we. Can we talk around seven? Just like, ah, n. Bro, that's kind of early. You think we can do nine? Like, no. They probably shoot you by then. Why you just tell me what's. Oh, okay. J.J. never want to kill you.
Mike
I was going to wait till seven
Gene
to tell you had two hours. Y. You want to know now? All right, Brody. Oh, man. Let me know if you're getting on the game tonight or. Or I see. I'll just check the dudes.
Mike
All right. Before we end the pod though, do you got any tweeter weeks?
Gene
Oh, first one, this was Denver getting in the spirit is left my car unlocked last night and somebody opened a spirit Halloween in it. And I think that's so the just be popping up the costume shops. It's already a spirit Halloween over by where we live. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's already up, bro. And people actually going in that. I seen somebody go in there and go and come out with a doctor's outfit. I said, you lazy. They ain't give no effort. They did that last year, Dr. Miami.
Mike
We literally walked into the Halloween store too.
Gene
But honestly, I think we need.
Mike
That's the thing.
Gene
More effort.
Mike
Yes. We're doing way more effort this year following.
Gene
We're going to do the party.
Mike
Yeah, we'll host the party.
Gene
Yeah, it's going to be lit this year. Okay.
Mike
Yeah, we'll host bigger.
Gene
Yes. I want to do a thousand dollar competition for somebody whoever want to get knocked out.
Mike
A grand prize.
Gene
If you can take me and Mike's punch and stay conscious.
Mike
The slap league is crazy.
Gene
We just had like 15 unconscious things. Anybody Else want to practice?
Mike
Like, no.
Gene
Okay. If a man ends a relationship, you was really doing too much.
Caller
Much.
Gene
Men never end their relationship first. And I want to say, like, that's not true. No, that's not true.
Mike
No, that's true.
Gene
Cuz, man, if I'm uncomfortable, I got to go.
Mike
I think I do think for guys, I think guys don't. Aren't as direct when they want to end a relationship and they start doing things that. In a relationship where it's like, trying to sabotage a relationship.
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah. Most of the time. I think as a woman, they'll at least let you know how you. How they feel. And then, like, how this isn't working because it takes a lot. I won't say it does take a lot for a girl not to end a relationship.
Gene
Like, I'll say it takes. I feel like it's more. Yes. I feel like dudes leave faster than women.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
And in the.
Mike
Is it what our experience.
Gene
Our experience. The people we be around, stuff like that. Like, the women barely ever leave.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Work it out.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Do everything.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Well, she was only my half sister, so I'll take them back. All right, last one. I'm skipping through a couple because I was in, like, my dark humor phase and I was like, it's funny.
Mike
Like, your tweet. A week at the beginning of the week can change. Like, especially when, like, when shit starts happening in the world, it's like.
Gene
Exactly. That's why three of them are canceled out. But this is funny because I think me and you were, like, very similar children and, like, how we looked at, like, society. And I think Gene's the same way. This is gonna make sense. From a young age, I always knew I was never gonna give a because, like, I didn't understand certain consequences. It's just like, you ever been talking in class and a teacher catch you talking in class and she punished you for talking in class cheat when you weren't supposed to, and it's like, wait, you gave me, like, an extra hour of school because I was talking for 15 seconds.
Caller
Yeah.
Gene
And just like, bro, like, I'm. I just might as well do the work. Sometimes I do more in a situation knowing I'm going to get what punishment
Mike
I'm going to get.
Gene
Like, oh, you was going to catch me talking anyways. I might as well finish my sentence.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
And make you look bad. Hold on real quick, teacher. As I was saying before she put me in attention, I would love to play kickball at the school.
Mike
You gotta crash out a little Bit more.
Gene
I'm just gonna be an hour late.
Mike
But was there. Was there a time you guys were ever afraid of your teacher calling your parents like that? That threat scared you?
Gene
After a while, I got numb to it.
Mike
It was a time. There was a time where it's like, I knew it was what it was at that point. Like, I. I also wanted. I was a prideful kid, too. Like, so it's like, I'm gonna call your pride fam. Like, I didn't want them to know that even scared me. So I always want to. And I was like, oh, yeah. Called him. But I just had no reaction. That was very, like, stoic type of look. And just like, okay, and let them do it at that point. It is what it is.
Gene
No, I didn't care until my dad got out of jail. And then he showed. He showed up for the first time. He was whooping feet. He's. Oh, you want to be a comedian, huh? That the worse. Like, people don't understand, like, having a male as your main disciplinary person. Oh, my God, bro. Especially, like, my dad, like, from the hood.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
So he wouldn't talk to me, and it just come out of nowhere. He will wait until it piles up. But he would get me for, like, my least offense, so it would, like, also catch me off guard. Yeah. Okay. I got kicked out of school for fighting. Right. He wouldn't talk to me for, like, 40 hours. No. No words exchanged change. Just only signals. Okay, we leaving. Go get dressed. Blah, blah. No words change. Like, he disappointed, so he made me feel that. And then he'll wait until, like, we in a drive through, and then he'd just be like, what you want? Like, I don't know. Always being so indecisive.
Mike
Like, damn.
Gene
Over to Burger King. He's like, not everything. Start naming all the bad you did. He's like, you're reading off. You get your census read and you
Caller
want to find me, huh?
Gene
You want to fight me like you did here? Yeah, you want to fight me? This is what you do. Like, they take it to the extreme. Like, they got you working for somebody for free and you going to work at this gas station for 10 days.
Mike
My thing was never even. My parents are always weird about the things they got mad about. It was never like. It could be like talking in class. You get kind of scolded at not doing. Showing up late, not doing homework. But it. The thing that really got them mad was being disrespectful. If there's anything about being disrespectful that sent them over the edge because to them, that spoke more about them than it did me. So, like, the homework stuff is like, oh, kids being kids, just talking to class. Kids being kids. You disrespecting your teacher. No, that's not what we. That's not what we teach, like, orally.
Gene
They don't care you talked in class.
Caller
They care.
Gene
You talk back to the teacher. That's probably. That's probably the angriest mind you dad ever got. Like, I. I don't really get in trouble like that in school, but, like, there was actually a teacher I actually didn't like. Like, the first grown man I didn't like because I knew he didn't like me from the get go. Like, we just didn't like each other. It's just like, that weird relationship. Like a grown man not liking you, you not like him. And, like, he was trying to, like, get me in trouble with my dad. And it was just like, my pride was just so up there. Like, oh, you think you about to, like, jump me with my dad?
Caller
Yeah.
Gene
And I was just like, I literally did this to her. And, like, I was about to shoe him off. And, like, before my hand hit the, like, thing, my dad was like. But I just wanted him to know he wasn't gonna hold me. Mr. Aosi, you still a ho ass.
Mike
And I put.
Gene
I put that on everything. If I. If I get canceled for this, it's him.
Mike
I think, too. I think it's different that. Bro. With kids these days. I think it's different because I think. I think some kids should have, like, a healthy, healthy fear of their parents, but not in the same way as, like, maybe when we were kids. Like, not maybe the fear of, like, violence, because it's just different times, but more of the fear, like, disappointing your parents. And I think the way. And I think parents are trying, like, art. We're kind of like the parents now. Like, the age of age of parents and stuff like that. I think parents.
Gene
Everybody is.
Mike
Yeah, everybody but the new parents now, I think they should put more emphasis on. Of being proud of your kids so they know when you are. When they. You. You disappoint them. That's when it hits hardest, you know?
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
So, like, I don't think people don't show that enough. They don't, like, show like, how proud they are their kids or their accomplishments, even the littlest things. If you hype about the littlest things your kids do, I think that would, like, build that confidence up. So it's like when you do something like, I don't have to touch you. I'm just disappointed in you. You know what I mean? And then that's like, I don't want to disappoint him because. Because the way the support he shows me when I do the things right, and I want to keep doing those things right. But people think you gotta, ah, GRA GRA GRA with the kids now, but that's.
Gene
But the parents that have both and they mix it with that type of discipline. Those are the best parents. Yeah, yeah. I could you up, but I always praise you.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
So then, like, the scale grows larger. Sometimes you got those, like, parents that, like, they're soft on crime.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
And it's just like, ah, man, my kid got caught selling drugs in school. No cell phone for six months. Like, no, man, you gotta beat the shit out of yourself.
Mike
Yeah, yeah.
Gene
You got to make him smoke all that weed and just stare at him like, no, you about to smoke every. Everything you was about to say. You about to smoke it all.
Mike
You, man, hope that not laced.
Gene
And then you end up smoking with him like, no, this is good. I ain't going to lie. You done accidentally hot boxing, cuz.
Mike
You.
Gene
Hey, you got be high as hell, son. You was really selling that job. Hey, if you really want to do this, Pop's going to support.
Mike
Man.
Gene
That's some good.
Mike
Let's do it the legal way. We can get your license n all that, man.
Gene
It's not about to be ghosts.
Mike
No.
Gene
What if it was a parent that actually, like, helped their kid? Because usually, like, in that situation, if they help their kids sell drugs, that means, like, they're into it, too. Yeah, but what if they were just doing it? Like, my dad has a nine to five and he gives me advice on what to do. They're just like, yeah, you need to get Chico out your crew, man. Yeah, I don't trust him, man. I ain't trust him since y' all was seven. You know he used to steal around here, man.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Nothing with Chico.
Caller
All right.
Gene
I gotta go to the plant, man. I see.
Mike
Let me know how everything is.
Gene
Clean your room, man. Clean your room, man. Got coke everywhere. God damn.
Mike
Anyways, that has been crash dummies episode two two four, right?
Gene
Yeah, 224.
Mike
Yeah.
Gene
Two, two.
Mike
Appreciate y' all for listening to pod. Appreciate you guys for subscribing to the Patreon. We dropped the. The Pilates vlog on there.
Gene
I know y' all with it.
Mike
Yeah, and that's not. Remember, that's not the only reason. The vlog stuff and everything, that's just extra for the Patreon people. It's two episodes a month. Extra episodes a month. That's the base thing you get. And we put out. You know, we just put out one. So go listen to that one. We're probably going to drop one on YouTube soon just so y' all can see how it gets down in Patreon. But what else? We're gonna. We're thinking about doing a show in Chicago. So our Chicago listeners just comment if you're in Chicago. So we want to get a little gaze on, like, what a Chicago show would look like.
Gene
Yeah, okay. No, go ahead.
Mike
No, I have nothing.
Gene
No, go ahead. But also, we going to start doing something. Obviously, those of you who follow us on Twitch see that we go live on Twitch. We're also going to create a discord room. Discord voice channel for our Patreon listeners only. We're going to lock the room. So that'll be something that we're going to add.
Mike
We're going to lock the room?
Gene
Yeah, we're going to lock the room in. There ain't no leaving, no logging on.
Mike
No locked in the room with us.
Gene
Two hours camera zone. No, but. No, but we're gonna do that. We're gonna try to, like, we're gonna wait to see how we can schedule it wise. So we're just gonna try to be as consistent as we can, and then we're gonna start doing it, like, on schedule. So, you know, we'll give you a notification.
Mike
Like town hall meetings.
Gene
Yeah, town hall meetings. Like, it could be something like some constructive criticism, but best believe you're gonna get some constructive rebuttals, too. My.
Mike
Or just topics too, that we talking about. The pod.
Gene
Exactly. Sometimes some of the best. You don't even know. Like some of y' all that DM us, we might not respond because you look weird as hell, but I still read everything that's sent to me. Some people I. I get so many that I feel bad that I don't give people credit for the tweeter weeks. I would say like 60 to 70% of the tweet of weeks come from people that send me stuff. So send me stuff. But I want you to know, if it has over 100,000 likes, do not send that shit to. I've seen it already. Come on now. Like, just be for real. I'm on Internet. You ain't got to it do. Do that shit. And if you've seen the video twice, I've seen it five times. Don't send that shit to me or you get blocked.
Mike
Anyway, that's been Crash Dummies Episode two two four.
Gene
Appreciate two two four two four two twenty four.
Mike
Two twenty four yeah.
Gene
RP Kobe.
Mike
All right, Kobe. G. Anyway, peace.

Hosts: Pat (Patrick Johnson) & Mike (Michael Esiobu), joined by recurring guest Gene
This episode centers on vulnerability, humor, and wild personal stories centered around the question: “What’s the brokest thing you’ve ever done?” Pat, Mike, and Gene riff on current events, personal anecdotes, and listener call-ins about broke moments, relationship red flags, and the social intricacies of being down bad. The tone is honest, candid, and comedic – a mix of unfiltered barbershop energy and storytelling.

Crash Dummies Episode 224 highlights the show’s ability to mix deep honesty with unfiltered humor. The team navigates from light-hearted wardrobe banter to real calls about struggling for basic needs – always with a sense of empathy, irony, and the kind of brotherly teasing that keeps things grounded. The open lines for listener stories lead to both cringeworthy and heartfelt admissions, painting a vivid, relatable portrait of what it means to be “broke” in more ways than one.
Key Takeaway: Laughter, humility, and community can turn even your brokest moment into a story worth telling—and sometimes, the call-in lines hit harder than any planned bit.
If you’re new, expect real talk, wild stories, and an open-door policy for vulnerability—mixed with plenty of roasting, brotherhood, and the most unfiltered advice you’ll ever hear about being broke, fashion, manhood, and relationships.
