Mike
What's the age limit on six, seven?
Pat
Oh, oh, it's. It's young too. It's like 20. I was gonna say the starting age. It's like 24, bro.
Mike
To save you, right?
Pat
Wait, no. What like you talking about the appropriate age? Yes, it's 20. It's 24. Like I'm hearing four year olds saying six, seven. Yes, that's. That's what I'm saying. It's. It's down that young. It's almost like Fortnite.
Mike
I feel it.
Pat
You know what I mean?
Mike
If. If I'm. I might emote the 6, 7 thing for. For edit. If in boxing.
Pat
Yes. It's a song.
Mike
At the end of the day I might emote it. No, I'm in my everyday conversation. If I somebody like if we're having a conversation and then just out of nowhere if I say something 6, 7, they do me like 6, 7. Like in a normal conversation. I would think it's weird.
Pat
That's the problem. It's okay. If a 14 year old come up to me like hey six seven. I'd be like, yeah, watch out.
Mike
Little do.
Pat
No, but it would be acceptable though, right? Like if someone did it in a basketball game or football game, that's acceptable.
Mike
What about in 43U?
Pat
In 43U.
Mike
Nah.
Pat
Smoking cigarettes. Okay, that's six seven two five. Niggas be smoking that. Halftime. I got 200 yards. I need a drag. Fuck. Three game.
Mike
Mid game cigarettes. Crazy. I feel like mid game anything was kind of crazy.
Pat
The fucked up part about it is the best people in semi pro probably got the worst habits.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Like you literally the person that's smoking weed in a parking lot is probably the best player. That's the reason why he there. They ain't got no discipline, man.
Mike
Bro, the kids that smoked weed in high school and were really good at sports. And that's before like I've ever like, done any drugs or anything like that.
Pat
I said drugs? How many drugs do you do actually.
Mike
There this week.
Gene
Back?
Pat
I ain't gonna say what I was supposed to say, cuz it's gonna get bad. But y' all know what to spam in the chat.
Mike
But before, like I. I've maybe like smoked any weed or anything like that, there was a more of an emphasis. Like, if you smoke weed, it's gonna make you lazy, dumb, everything, right? Honor roll student, smoked weed. Best athlete on the team, smoked weed. I was like, wait, who's lying in this situation? This just not the outliers or. But I think for some people, it doesn't work.
Pat
Six, seven, that way. It depends, man. In the KISS tv, you know. Boy, that is crazy.
Mike
Anyway, welcome to crash dummies, episode 229. I'm Mike. We got Pat here, we got our boy Gene here. They got a classic fit on today too. I liked it. It's calm, it's regular. What's the inspiration today?
Pat
I just. I just moved. So this is what I. What I can see how you. Is y' all gonna let him on y' all like that? That's great. I couldn't be me. Just moved on to better. He literally. He literally just on y' all like, yeah, this some moving. Before you said that it was a N. Like, yeah, that's the type of. I like Gene them shits right there. Then you said that moving shit. It fucked him up.
Mike
Y' all might see Pat's outfit change a couple times. This pod just once, maybe. It depends because we shot multiple days. So you might see his outfit.
Pat
If my outfit changed one more time, that mean I'm fed up. That means today was ass. I. I saw this skit that I really like. So basically it's a guy and a girl across the street from each other, basically sitting on their car, right? And they're looking at each other and they're basically having a discussion slash argument about the subject that they're going to talk about. I'll let you see that on the video. But it's just funny how this is the Dayton perspective right now. And I thought it was hilarious with some people. Men and women experience both sides of it.
Mike
So the title of the video is. I think you Just sent it over. When you never shoot your shot?
Pat
Yeah, it's about shooting your shot.
Gene
So you just gonna keep liking my story and not say anything? Yeah, what's the point?
Pat
I like the way you look, but I ain't gonna DM you and get rejected.
Gene
But you don't even know if I'm gonna reject you or not.
Pat
I know. And I'm not trying to find out. I'm comfortable where I'm at.
Gene
Do you expect me to talk to you first or something?
Pat
That would be amazing. But, nah, you ain't gotta do all that.
Gene
Why do men always want us to do all the work?
Pat
We don't. But the ratio of y' all shooting y' all shot as opposed to us, y' all more than likely to be successful at it.
Gene
It sounds like you just scared.
Pat
Nah, I ain't scared. I just like the peace that I have. And I ain't trying to deal with the stress of trying to figure out if you into me or not. I ain't got time for it.
Gene
But clearly I'm talking to you now.
Mike
You got a point.
Pat
How about you meet me halfway?
Gene
Why?
Pat
I just need confirmation, but I'm literally.
Gene
Giving you all the signals.
Pat
I'm near sighted. I need to see that thing in 4K. I'm walking now. Just trying to make sure it's mutual.
Gene
Okay.
Pat
You see, Things are becoming more clear now.
Gene
Great. So you can walk the rest of the way.
Pat
Hell nah. Come on. Come on.
Gene
Women should not have to do all this. I'm just saying.
Pat
Yeah, but look how things are easier now. We both have an understanding and nobody gets rejected. Simple.
Gene
Okay, but what about after? What if I don't like you? Or vice versa. It's still the same process.
Pat
We gonna cross that road when we get there?
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
There we go.
Mike
How you doing? Yeah.
Gene
Nah, you way too short for me.
Pat
I just think that's hilarious, though, that people will have conversations with people about, like, potentially being with them and then not with them. Like, my sister just recently told me a story.
Mike
What do you mean?
Pat
So, like, basically, in this situation, the dude, she been liking the dude pictures, right? But the dude never responded. He never got aggressive and stuff like that. And then one day, she was out with her friends drinking. They dared her to DM him, so she DMed him. And then he said, I've been waiting on you to hit me up finally. And then they started talking, and then he ghosted her, which is not funny, but it's funny in the sense of, like, that I feel like I've Heard so many experiences like that from guys and girls where it's like. Basically it's like, oh, you got to be aggressive to get this. You got to ask me out on a date. And then they do the said things and still get rejected. Because I think some people like to be wanted.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Yeah. And they want to be wanted, and they want people to want them, and they sometimes don't want that to go away, even though they don't want to be with that person.
Mike
I think the dude, too. The dude fury and rejection thing is a real thing.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
I would say for myself, I haven't been rejected a lot because I don't shoot my shot a lot.
Pat
The same area.
Mike
So it's like, I don't really know the. That feeling like trying actually putting my full effort trying to get with somebody.
Pat
Hey, good old man. Some of y' all niggas is brave, boy. I got a homeboy that would talk to every girl in the park. I mean, he don't give a fuck who see him. He start from finest all the way down to the most. What he think is unattractive. Like, he go, go. He gonna work it all the way down, and he don't give a. I can't even. Boy, if I get rejected, I might not talk to a woman for five.
Mike
Definitely got rejected in, like, middle school, grade school type of thing.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
But I feel like you're more courageous. I think you also have the shield when you're a kid. The shield of telling your friend to tell the girl that you like her.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
So that's that shield. So it was easier to do that. And the rejection does get passed along, but it's more embarrassing to them because there's two people that.
Pat
It's not embarrassing. You can lie. I don't know why the fuck you would say the Jean.
Mike
That is a cheat call. Yeah.
Pat
Why would I like her?
Mike
Right?
Pat
Go to bathroom and cry.
Mike
Why?
Pat
What's the age limit on that? Using your friend as a barrier to, like, oh, it's raps.
Mike
I think it's also like, college. It depends how it's done.
Pat
Yes.
Mike
It depends how it's done.
Pat
Yes. It's a mature one, I think, like.
Mike
Say, is Pat would told me, like, hey, bro, go talk to her and see how I'm feeling. How she feeling. He would not do that. It's my responsibility to do that first. If I know he's, like, kind of feeling the girls type of thing, then I can kind of go in. And especially if, like, this girl, somebody I talk to or like friends or same circle. I can kind of fill it out a little bit too, because she gonna probably start asking me questions, and I'm like, okay, this is what it is.
Pat
Yes. I think the mature way of doing it after a certain age, I feel like after college, this shit is dead.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Let's just keep it at that. But anything after that, the mature way to do it is to view you in that. So, like, let's say back in the day, you're like, let's. It's this girl that I like.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
My job is to now look at your interaction from a bird's eye view to let you know after the conversation if she feeling you or not. You can kind of get signs like, oh, bro, when you was over here, she kept staring at you and looking at you and she was smiling. Right? So that's like, a good sign that you can help your boy with. But as far as, like, going up to the girl like, yo, you feeling my man?
Mike
It's like, yo, see?
Pat
What the fuck?
Mike
And I think it only. I feel like you shouldn't do that. Like, there's an age limit only for when you're in the same room as the girl.
Pat
Yes, yes.
Mike
Because there are situations where it's like, oh, I have a friend that I would want you to meet. I think you guys, you know, just hit it off. Something like that.
Pat
Yes.
Mike
But like, if you're all in the same room and say, hey, bro, go see if she's feeling me. Yeah.
Pat
I was thinking more of a club setting.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pat
In the club setting. Like, that's. That's terrible. Like, every girl. People don't know that's actually offensive to girls. Like, some dudes don't know that. Like, the super offensive is like, oh, you don't think I'm beautiful enough to talk to me in front of everybody? Because every girl want to be swept off their feet. Every girl, like, especially ones that's looking for a relationship, they want to be able to tell the story about how the y' all first interaction was. So if it's not something natural or you being very masculine in that sense of, like, showing everybody, like, I like her, I want her. I don't care who looking. Then she. How's she gonna tell that story to mama? You know what I mean? Like, oh, how y' all meet? Oh, he told his friend that I got a fat ass.
Mike
She got the fat ass, Ms. Terry.
Pat
Just like you. I see where she get it from. No, I'm kidding. Don't do that. I hate When I tell jokes like that, somebody DM me. Like, pat, that was the best advice ever, bro.
Mike
Have you ever had the urge to want to help somebody argue? Like, you hear about, like, your friends, like, problems and give him some ammo.
Pat
You try to load the clip for them. My thing with you, I trick you, though, what? Into, like, if I want you to do something, I go over what I want you to do. Cause I know that you're never gonna do exactly what you said. Like, I do some extreme shit.
Mike
Like.
Pat
Like, yeah, you know that dude we don't. Like, he was looking at me crazy. I'd be like, man, shoot that nigga in the head. Might just be like, yeah, but I just unfollowed him on Instagram. I don't fuck with him no more. Like, yeah, that's what I wanted him to do. But if I would have told him unfollow him, he'd have been like, nah. Cause he always look at me as, like, the harsher person. Like, I'm harsh or some shit.
Mike
No, I know. I. I know I could be harsh sometimes.
Pat
Yeah, you, like, you kind of evil. Like, I'm like, people view me as, like, this sparky person. But yes, in person at the time, I might do the eviler shit out of it, too, right? I might react faster than you.
Mike
I think you might react faster. And I would say the way I like my revenge is like, I like it to slow cook a little bit.
Pat
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a slow cooker.
Mike
Yeah, Yeah.
Pat
I want to stab him right through the mike. Like, yeah, man, we gonna buy this nigga mama house just laid out there.
Mike
We buy his mama house and we.
Pat
Put a fucking bomb in that.
Mike
What the fuck? And we set the house on fire.
Pat
Nah, we keep throwing parties in his mama old room and shit. Shit crazy here. You know your mom left for wigs, right? Yo, let's take a quick break from today's podcast and thank our sponsors.

Mike
I kind of hate that we are so literal with the human, the English language.
Pat
What do you mean by that?
Mike
Because you know how we used to all say, oh, I just did a a360 in my life or my life just did 360.
Pat
Right? And people get.
Mike
And then people start over analyzing it. Like now I see people saying I just did a complet 180, right? Yeah. And I hate that because if somebody does want to say 360, it's like everybody wants to be like, that's you just started back where you started.
Pat
Yeah, we, we're only, we're the only country that I do that I feel like Every other language, there's different ways to say things. And they kind of just want you.
Mike
To because is that. Yeah, I know what you mean.
Pat
I feel like the other countries where I learned from being in the airport in London, wherever we were, where the we were, is that there's more people that speak different languages there and obviously in their airports and like more people that cross and more people that have to communicate without knowing the same language.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
And they just get the fucking job done. Like, obviously, hey, we don't speak the same type of thing, but we going to talk in this base language here. You use your. Instead of yours. Got like 50 niggas in your comments. Like the. But y' all knew what I meant though, right?
Mike
And I think it's. It is like that thing the English language is like. I think with especially like some Nigerian languages, words can mean like, things or like phrases like my last name, it means the day shall be. Right. And then that can be interpreted differently. So. But the same way, if somebody says my Life did a360, you should interpret that. You know what I'm talking about? But people want to, like, change the. Like, now we're going to do 180. That's not technically, that's not right. It's like, it's not a technical term, but even.
Pat
But like, if you think about a 180, it's just like flipping the other way technically. But a 360 would be like, you turn it around. And that's why I thought the definition was like, I did a total360. I turned it all the way around.
Mike
Right.
Pat
That's what I'm saying.
Mike
Like that. But definitely that sounds right.
Pat
Yeah, I'm like, I'm doing a 360. Like, I'm turning my around. What? I do a 184. There's some out here just doing 90 constantly. Just take it. Take a look. Yeah, he just jumping side to side. He ain't going shit. There's a video of this woman. She's recording herself driving. She's trying to take off her hoodie while driving. It gets stuck on top of her head and she can't see. And in the video, you see her swerve, catch the swerve, and then end up pulling a hoodie over in like a half nelson position where she still got her arms in it. And the quote tweet above it, which I thought is very interesting, is like, somebody like this will kill a safe driver. You can be safely driving perfectly fine following all the rules. Actually, like, be on, like, have your P on your P's and Q's and actually looking for people if you in the wrong spot. Like, oh, these people look like they might hit me and still die from somebody. Just something simple, like not even drinking and driving. Like, nigga tried to fix his fucking hoodie and kill me.
Mike
Like, it's so much like trust we have to have in each other on the road. It's just like that. Like we all trying to keep each other safe and we're both trying to stay safe. And that's a lot of trust to like, to have with other humans.
Pat
My homie's sister got into a crash from sneezing. Like, she's sneezing, I guess, swerved and like hit somebody. Hey, I want to let you know, you know how bad I would beat somebody ass if we got in an accident. And then he hopped out. I was like, my bad, bro. I sneeze allergies. Like, I'd rather him be drunk or something. Like, oh, you're a drunk driver, you sneeze. That's why my car total like, you got me fucked up. You did.
Mike
There are other people that get into car accidents. Like, the first thing they do is take a picture.
Pat
They can't believe it. Yeah, I used to. I used to shame them and now I don't anymore because that shit is amazing sometimes, especially if you've been in a really bad one.
Mike
I'm not talking about like the day be after or something. I'm talk like, just happened. Yeah, Like, I was like, damn, bro. He's like, yeah, this just happened. Yeah, Like, I just feel like there's more per conversations now, man.
Pat
Record all that, bro. I can't Believe this, bro.
Mike
LeBron did and.
Pat
Devil tried to get me again. You got to put that gin down. The devil, that's drinking and driving.
Mike
I drove past a 24 hour adult video store and I'm wondering, yeah, God.
Pat
Damn.
Mike
Should we shame people that still buy their porn physically?
Pat
I. I don't trust. I wouldn't trust anybody that buys their porn physically. Because I feel like anytime some people have footage of something like raw tapes, I think they're also doing other. That's like crimes like Big Guy, you.
Mike
Know what I mean?
Pat
It's just like, why, why, why is. Why are you so afraid to have this on the Internet? Some people be collectors, I guess. No, something about. Because I got DVDs though.
Mike
Really?
Pat
I got. Yeah, I got like Scarface. I got like, poke.
Mike
I.
Pat
I thought he did too, and I was gonna let him slide too.
Mike
I was like, you don't want to judge your friend. But we definitely woke up. That would have been our first conversation when we left this place. Maybe I would have called each other, be like, bro, porn DVDs, onion booty.
Pat
Do you rent? No, I'm kidding. They got a rent system.
Gene
Like. Yeah.
Pat
My point was like, you know, I got like. You were just talking about paying for all the streaming services too. You know, like, I do that and I have like DVDs. So it's just like a thing, you know, about like. But collectors but, like, who are that deeply invested because you gotta.
Mike
You only got a limited amount to watch. It's like you just go, I'm gonna watch this one today. This one. Because usually what they like 44 minutes an hour.
Pat
I like that though. It's almost like having like a record player. Yeah, I like if you got a little Blu Ray and you can put it on, just that set the mood a little bit. That's romantic as hell. That's all it could you to watch Shrek too, bro. Or. Or Toy Story.
Mike
Towards the end of it, I taped over it.
Pat
Oh, watch this.
Mike
This.
Pat
This is classic. About to get up halfway through the movie. We ain't going to see the best scene. Watch this.
Mike
My dad was the worst when it came to taping over stuff on VH vhs.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
So, you know, you have the VHA player, VHS player. And my dad would record like, I tried VHS player. My dad would record just like childhood moments and stuff like that, Right. And then you try to re watch it and it's like it cuts into something else completely from like the next day or like some random thing in funeral, like a bird or some. And it's just like my dad wasn't good at like organizing like once. This is like Mike's first steps walk videotape. You can't just use the same tape and tape something over. And now it's like a double exposure and like that.
Pat
Oh, he was that up. I had like my favorite one. I used to have like a Rugrats tape. And it was like orange. And then a bunch of movies started using like the orange tapes and shit.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
And that used to me up because my dumb ass thought like, oh, it gotta be Rugrats, Nickelodeon. They just made all their tapes. Yeah, that shit was ass.
Mike
He said, which one is Rugrats? The orange one.
Pat
Oh. So there's some shit that I just found out. I wish I knew the name of the podcast because I would hate for somebody to do this to me. But it was on TikTok. I couldn't find a name, but it was. I think it was a producer. Don't know his name. He was talking about Same Girl by R. Kelly. Usher.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
And, like, he was telling the backstory of it, like, how it came together. So R. Kelly wrote Same Girl. Right. And then they had the big idea of instead of singing it by yourself, because, you know, R. Kelly has done that before with Trapped in the Closet.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Instead. Instead of singing it by yourself, why don't you have someone sing the other verse? So they said, oh, Usher is perfect. They were signed to the same label and they had never did a song together, so it'll make the song even bigger. They sent the song to Usher. Usher took the part that he now has that everybody knows. And he wasn't supposed to take that part because R. Kelly was mad that he took that part because he asked the producer, do you think Usher could take my girl? And he was dead ass serious. Like, he was mad at the dude, like, do you think Usher can take my girl? So then they argued about it, and it was. I don't have the clip.
Mike
Okay, go ahead. I thought you had a clip. No, no, no, no.
Pat
I don't know where the clip at. And then they argued about it. Should I just play final clip?
Mike
No.
Pat
So you think I'm explaining it well?
Mike
Yeah, you explain it well.
Pat
Okay.
Mike
Okay.
Pat
Then they argued about it, and that's why the girls end up being twins at the end, because R. Kelly didn't want anybody thinking that Usher could take his girl.
Mike
And so, like, the concept was different.
Pat
Yeah. So they changed the concept. It was just supposed to be like, I took your girl, like, same girl and stuff like that. But R. Kelly didn't like that Usher took that verse. The one. Yeah, yeah.
Mike
But I think the Rock has, like, they say the Rock has, like, a clause in his contract where he can't get beat up or he can't lose a fight. And what a movie he's in.
Pat
So I feel it. It's almost like getting dunked on. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, people. Like, people will use that footage against me. You know, there's. There's footage of Kevin Hart getting humped by Shaq, like, over a car. You ever seen that one? Like, he bent Kevin Hart over and, like, I don't remember that, but it's.
Mike
Just like, I think I saw that in the corner of the street of. Of pirate piracy website.
Pat
They'll know what I'm talking about.
Mike
Okay.
Pat
But it's like a Clip like that. And like, obviously he did that for comedy at the time.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
And now people try to use that against him. So just like, anytime you try to make fun of yourself or do something, the Internet's always going to come by. So, like, why do that if you don't have to? The R. Kelly was never going like, you never. Cuz, what if we get into it one day? We not boys.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Cuz, you know, back then I used to think everybody that feature on the song with each other, I used to.
Mike
Do or best friends made the song together. Like they were in the studio, they locked in.
Pat
I thought Drake and Lil Wayne hung out every day. I'm like, they cousins. Them niggas probably eating cereal right now.
Mike
These days. These days, the artists. You do a feature for somebody and the. The feature artist might not even know the name of actual artist. Yeah. At all.
Pat
Just like, damn.
Mike
I'll with him on the track of what's his. What's his name?
Pat
That was a crazy lyric. I'm on a track, but what's his name? It's so disrespectful.
Mike
Some of the Kodak was saying, like.
Pat
Run and say insert artist, whatever name is. Oh, there was this battle rapper that did that New Jersey twerk. Dude gave New Jersey twerk a deposit to do a verse on his track. And New Jersey twerk was taken all day, so dude thought New Jersey twerk scammed him. But New Jersey twerk was just taken all day. So when he found out that dude posted like New Jersey twerk scam me. He finished the verse and on the verse is dissing that n. He's like this trash ass song. La da da da da da da da da. He's like, la dee da de da. Trash, trash, trash, fat ass. Yo, your verse.
Gene
Hi.
Pat
Yo, what's good?
Gene
What's up?
Pat
Welcome to Crash on these podcast. How are y' all wagwani?
Mike
I got a question for you.
Gene
What?
Mike
Huh? What's something you want to see less of.
Gene
Married men hitting on single women or just women in. In general?
Pat
You got an example of this?
Gene
I do. Sorry I'm doing laundry. But I work for a pretty big retail company and every single guy there that's married just wants to talk to me. It's horrible. Are you single and one of them. I am one of them. So creepy. But he has money, so maybe. Just kidding. He has been working with that company since 1983. I was born in 1992.
Pat
God damn.
Gene
And he just told me the other day, he's like, yeah, you're hot. I said, whoa.
Pat
Well, we know what color he is. No doubt about that. There's only one cut, one type of person using that lingo right there. You're hot. It's crazy. What was your response?
Gene
I just walked away and told him I had to go clock in for my shift and I just left.
Pat
You didn't report him?
Gene
No. What if he throws me some money? I can't report that.
Pat
See, There, you see?
Mike
You want them to stop, but then you're enabling them by giving them hope.
Pat
I sure got the money. That's why she's saying. I think she received money, because why the second time has been brought up. Yeah, you're right.
Gene
Like, if he's gonna throw some stacks, this ass is gonna go in a circle.
Pat
Have you ever. Have you ever received money from any of these guys?
Gene
No. And that's the sad part. Like, what you waiting for? Yeah. So if you want it, you gonna pay.
Mike
Okay.
Pat
Wait, one what though? Wait, wait, won't. What?
Gene
Whatever they want.
Pat
Oh, my God. So it's for sale?
Gene
No, it's not for sale.
Pat
But you say if they give you money, they can get whatever they want. It's for bribe.
Gene
Hey, man, $3,000. I might gotta give them what they want.
Pat
That's. I mean, that's for sale. I want to let you know that's pretty cheap, too.
Gene
That's cheap?
Pat
Yeah, yeah, Yeah. I said 4,000, like a few pods ago. Yeah. What's the most. What's the most expensive thing in your store? How much does this cost?
Gene
The most expensive thing, probably the jewelry.
Pat
Okay. What. What? After that, though, name something.
Gene
Maybe like our TV section.
Pat
TV section. What'd you say? The TV. What's the most expensive TV?
Gene
I think like 2,800.
Pat
Perfect.
Mike
Perfect.
Pat
Perfect.
Gene
Why did that. Perfect.
Pat
That's right around 3,000. Yeah, yeah. I mean, instead of buying a TV, they can just buy you one day. Just chilling.
Gene
Yeah, exactly.
Mike
So the only reason you have a problem with. The only reason you have a problem with married men hitting on single woman is because they haven't offered money.
Gene
Yes.
Pat
At least, you know, they weren't asked.
Gene
But we don't get nothing in return. How does that work?
Mike
Yeah. You know what they call that, right?
Gene
Making money. That's what.
Mike
Yes.
Pat
The oldest profession in the world.
Gene
Working.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
I never heard of retail. Retail prostitution is different. I lied to you. This is amazing, right?
Mike
In the event, can you fight?
Gene
I don't know.
Mike
Yeah, I'm just saying, like, in the event of, like, these men's, like, Wives finding out. Are you, like, equipped to.
Gene
Oh, yeah. Those women I can take. I'm not finding no Clarissa Shield.
Pat
They're all white women. She knows all the ones. That's why she knows she can take them. All right. You have a couple more. She said all right.
Gene
You too.
Pat
Check. Girl. Go get it. That is crazy.
Mike
Oh, man.
Gene
Oh, hello.
Pat
Hello, Hello, Hello. Hey.
Gene
Hey, Michael. Hey, Patrick.
Pat
What's it. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. What's up with the. The names?
Gene
I mean, that's. That's the names you guys are born with, right?
Pat
But, you know, nobody calls us that, so you're trying to get under our skin.
Mike
It's more. It sounds natural when it comes from a woman. I feel like I say Michael, it's. It's a more like, no, Michael, no, no.
Pat
Michael is not her down be funny. But Patrick is. She's trying to be funny, like she know what she doing. Patrick is uncalled for.
Mike
We got a question for you.
Gene
Okay.
Mike
What's something you want to see less of?
Gene
Okay, so I want to see less of men standing on couches in the club in their sections.
Mike
What's wrong with it?
Gene
Shit is atrocious. Because I just don't. So, me personally, I think that, like, women standing in the club, like, it's more aesthetically pleasing. Like, you know, you see pretty girls in a club and they're standing on sections having fun. Like, at least we're, like, dancing or doing something productive with our time up there. But, like, men standing on couches in the club, like, they're just standing there doing nothing.
Mike
Performance.
Pat
Yeah, that's it. You know what? I agree with you, though, because I hate. Obviously, standing on a couch is for, like, the aesthetic of the club. Like, look how lit we are. And when it's a dude that's mean mugging the whole crowd, it's just like, what is this nigga a villain or something?
Mike
Like, nigga look angrier than security.
Pat
Yeah, it's like, what's wrong with him? Did he get his bottle? I don't understand why he look like that. No, I feel it. What you gotta say to those men? What's your official message to men in the club?
Gene
I don't really have a message. I just don't think that you guys should be up there. I just. I just don't know what the whole point of it is. I would add to that by saying, like, stop standing on couches in the club and stop snatching hookah from the women.
Pat
Snatching hookah?
Gene
Yes. Okay, so Quick sidebar. So my friend group, I have a big friend group, and there's this guy that we know from college, and we know when we see him that he's going to be like, oh, like, let me hit the hookah.
Pat
So it's like a joke.
Gene
It's like a running joke. Now that, like, we see. So it was our homeboy's birthday, literally, like three weeks ago. We saw him, and I was like, I bet you he's going to come over here, ask us to hit the hookah. So, sure enough, he comes in, hey, guys, how's it going? Like, what's up? And he's like, that shit pouring. Yeah.
Pat
You're what?
Gene
Yeah.
Pat
No, I ain't going to lie.
Mike
That nigga is a thief.
Pat
No, that is like. You know, I don't say this about mustangs, but that's zesty.
Gene
Yeah.
Pat
Is that pulling? My. Just sit down.
Gene
Like, not Indian. Like, not even asking can he hit it? Like, it's like, just. Is it pulling? Yeah. Y' all gotta extra tip.
Mike
Yeah, that should look like it tastes good. But I think. Don't you prefer that than somebody trying to, like, sneakily try to get the hookah?
Gene
I mean, yeah, but I don't know. I just. I don't know. Like, these days, I don't, like, I don't go out that much anymore. But like, most places when you order hookah, they're like, oh, only a certain amount of people can be per hookah. So if it's like 10 of y', all, y' all have to order, like, three hookahs or some. So you already know we are at our limit.
Pat
You can't.
Gene
And then, like, we. Let's say we leave it alone. We go like my homegirl start twerking or some, and we come back and you just there sitting next to hookah.
Mike
I, like, watch niggas manning.
Pat
That thing is a theme capping the hookah.
Gene
Really plotting on the hookah is crazy.
Pat
No, it's crazy.
Mike
All right, I appreciate you. You have a good one.
Gene
Thanks, y', all, too. Bye.

Pat
Welcome to Crashing Bees Podcast. You okay?
Mike
I got a question for you.
Pat
All right, all right. What's up?
Mike
All right. What's the most painful realization you had about yourself?
Pat
Okay, I don't hate myself enough.
Mike
Why do you say that.
Pat
Myself enough? Because every time I want to go.
Gene
Like, let's say.
Pat
Big, you know, I'm a big guy.
Gene
So every time I'm like, oh, you.
Pat
Give us a better, better visual. What do you mean? How much you. What? Gosh. Hold on, hold on. Let me.
Gene
Let me stop you, Pat. Dude. Dude, you're a dude.
Pat
What? You. I just asked one simple question, bro. No, no, no, listen. I literally just asked. I literally just. Just for the fans, for the people that's listening, give them. You. You say you're a big dude. I'm thinking, like, what, you six, five? Like, I don't know which was you talking about. No, no.
Gene
Okay, hear me out first. I texted you.
Pat
You. You dropped merch.
Gene
I texted you and I told you, hey, do you have 5x5XL?
Pat
And you said, are you gonna use it as a blanket? I'm like, why?
Gene
What the hell are you, like, generally asking a question?
Pat
So. And. And you posted it on. On. On your Instagram because I was like, oh, my God. But yeah, I don't. I don't run my page, bro.
Mike
But okay, but go. Go back to what you were saying then.
Pat
So now we got the answer to the visual, everybody.
Gene
Okay, okay, so I'm five, ten. And I'm 455.
Pat
But I don't look. I don't look 455. I don't look. Like, I don't look big, I'm sure. All right. I look. I don't look big, you know, Like, I don't look 455.
Mike
Okay, now you're right. You don't look 455.
Pat
You don't.
Mike
No.
Pat
See, let's see. Hold on. And I'll be the judge, though.
Mike
Oh, no. It was a good angle. You look 455.
Pat
No, he don't.
Gene
What?
Pat
Oh, he don't look for.
Mike
You don't. You really don't.
Pat
No, you don't look 455, bro, but go ahead, bro.
Mike
We're kind of stuck on your weight right now.
Pat
Yeah, yeah, it's. Oh, I think because it's in your lower half, you know, when, like, you know what?
Mike
You know, shaved, like a pair.
Pat
You know, when Squidward. You know, when Squidward broke in and ate all those crappy patties.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
That's how kind of how he. Oh, my God. You're wrong for that.
Gene
But anyways, so I'm always like, I.
Pat
Want to drop weight. I want to drop weight, and I go to the gym.
Gene
Like, I constantly, like, I go to the gym, but every time I go to the gym, that's a step. That's. That's one step forward.
Pat
But then during the day, I'm like.
Gene
I get hungry, and then I take.
Pat
Like, two, two, three steps back. A lot of food. Sorry. So I'm just like, damn, I dropped this weight. But then I gain it back. So I'm just always.
Mike
No real talk, though, bro. I think what you need to do is try to start. You don't have to go to the gym right away. Try to start just by walking or. I think sometimes people make that big jump and it's, like, harder to maintain. So it's like, all right, what I'm going to do first is I'm going to start walking, taking more steps. Call it 10,000 steps, right? That's what everybody kind of tries to get right. Start with just walking a lot more because then you're going to start building those habits. And the thing, like, sometimes I have to lose weight for fights and stuff like that, and everybody kind of goes through their own kind of issues. So just don't let one day ruin, like, your progress in the sense of, like, don't think because you messed up one day, then you have to mess up the next day and everything's all over.
Pat
Why you laughing?
Mike
Why are you laughing? I'm giving Jackie with advice. No, I'm not laughing.
Pat
He's lying. He's lying. But, no, preferably, like, walk during the day, not at night. People trying to sleep.
Mike
Oh, my gosh.
Pat
I'm just playing, bro. But you need to walk, though. I want you to be able to listen to this podcast forever. No, seriously, we don't want you to run into any health issues. That's why I'm not sending you a five. I'll send you a four X. I'm not sending no five, though, nigga, because I don't. I don't support that. Okay, you got to start walking. All right, you get a free Forex. How much? No, how much you weigh? 4, 450.
Gene
455.
Pat
450. Let's call it 470. And be real. If you drop down to. If you drop down under four, you got you free merch, and we give you free patreon for a month. How much weight? How much weight? Just. Just get under 400.
Mike
If it gets under 400, I will give you a hundred dollars. I would pay for your first, like, your first two months of your gym membership if you get under 400 and you can.
Pat
How are you supposed to get there? Pay for this right now, then?
Mike
Nah, I'm just saying I'll pay, like, two, three months of your membership for sure.
Pat
No, we. We definitely gonna hook you up. You get under 400.
Mike
That's. That.
Pat
That. That need to be a motivation. Like, I don't mean to, Like, I don't like to joke. I don't like to fat shame, but, like, I want you to be healthy. This is, like, kind of like in an unhealthy range. We want you to be here for a long time, you know, Real talk right there.
Mike
Real.
Pat
I appreciate that. I hope this will spark it, man. Definitely. Go ahead. Next time, I'm gonna send you. I'm send you a photo of my. Of my weight, like, in three, three, four months.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
And I'll be like, hey, I dropped this much. So perfect. I want that. I want that 100 from the free merch. That's easy, bro. I think you can do it in less time than that. I think you do it in a month, bro.
Mike
I think he is not dropping £50 in a month.
Pat
Yes, you can, bro. In a healthy way, bro. Yes, he can, bro.
Mike
Don't focus on the. Just focus on just moving first.
Pat
Just walk.
Mike
Just start moving, right? And then start going to the gym. Say, hey, this week I'm Gonna go to the gym one time this week. Right. Just keep building those habits. Like, at least I'm going one time a week. And then start saying I'm gonna go two. It's just about sticking to it.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
Just don't let any, like, mishaps or bad days ruin the rest of your days. You can still. One bad day is not gonna make a difference.
Pat
Yeah, don't try to. Also, don't try to eliminate everything at once. You hurting yourself by doing that. By trying to have those perfect days where you eating all, like, salads, and then you go into the gym, you try to do it two a day at the gym, it's going to fuck you over for the next day. It's going to be a crash out. Just eliminate one thing at a time. So let's just start walking.
Gene
All right, for sure.
Mike
You have a good one, man.
Gene
All right, man.
Mike
Take care of you too, man.
Gene
Okay.
Mike
Hello, welcome to Craftsman's Podcast.
Pat
Yo.
Gene
Yes. How are you guys?
Pat
Good, good, good. How you doing?
Gene
Good. I've been trying to, like, get on here for the longest.
Pat
Oh, fire, Fire.
Mike
Welcome, welcome.
Pat
I got a question for you.
Gene
Sure.
Pat
Okay. What's the most painful realization about yourself?
Gene
That the saddest thing is, is that I like to torture my ex. Yeah. Like, I really hate that part of me, and I love it at the same time.
Pat
Okay, you got to explain torture.
Mike
You know, when you say. When you say torture, what do you mean?
Gene
Like, obviously, bedroom stuff. Well, I mean, it's that and also other little things. But, like, long story short, we wore together and he cheated on me the whole four going to five years, I held it down, of course, as long as I could, but I couldn't do it no more. So I guess, like, the two, three years of me, you know, seeking my peace, health, and all that stuff, trying to get over it, I thought of a great idea of coming back with this, like, extra mean girl, sexy vibe, which I know he likes. And I just, you know.
Pat
How do you know he likes stuff?
Gene
Oh, I definitely know. Because when I, you know what say, like, he would pop up and stuff. I'd be like, okay, let's go in the room. And he'd be like, oh, nah. I'd be like, come on, come on. I know what you like. So, like, I would literally would have sex with, like, another guy, let him come on top of my, you know, my stuff, and have him licking it and, you know, all of that. So that's me torturing him, like, giving back his. What he did to me.
Mike
This took a. I would think it was just like. Like.
Pat
That'S not torture.
Mike
Like.
Gene
No, I'm telling you. Like, he liked that. Little. Little. Do he know? I mean, he likes to get slapped around and pinched and.
Pat
Of course. No pinch is funny.
Gene
Yeah, by me. By me. Like, when I was with him for them four or five years, like, I was being such a nice girl because I thought women that get wifed up is nice girls. So I wasn't being a freak. I was being very nice. So coming into this now, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get my revenge. I'm gonna torture him. So I would, you know, have sex with somebody else and have Rub it all over him. Like. Yeah, put your fingers in there. Yeah. Wait, or like, wait, how was.
Mike
Was it like. Were these like threesomes with other people? Yeah.
Gene
No, no, it would be just me and him.
Mike
So.
Pat
Okay, let's get this right. You're going. You're going. So after. This is revenge, though. You're doing this as revenge?
Gene
Yeah, but it feels good. So it's like, I do this often now. Like, I'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead, go in there. Or like, I'd be like, no, open your mouth. So say if I know that a guy just spit in my mouth, I would spit in his mouth when he come over after that. Like, I would purposely do certain things because I know when I was with him, I mean, who knows what he was doing with the other girl.
Pat
I get it. He was basically. He was basically doing the same thing to you, right?
Mike
They were all in the same room. This was all happening.
Pat
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Gene
This is like, I'll invite him over right after I done did something.
Pat
Got it. Yeah.
Mike
So he doesn't know this?
Pat
No, no, no, no. He definitely don't know this. Even till this day, you're still breathing.
Gene
No, definitely till this day, I'm definitely still breathing. I go to the doctor, I'm clean, I haven't caught a thing. Thank you, Jesus. But like. Yeah.
Mike
Oh, you're not with him anymore?
Gene
No, we. We never got back. I just been. I. I know that he likes to play around with women, like. Got it, guys. So I became that. I became that extra sexy. Like, what about, like.
Pat
What about. What about, like, furthering your life, you know? Like, what about, like, you know, progressing where you are right now?
Gene
Oh, hell yeah. I got a great job. Like, it's a lot of things that I did after I left 10, you know?
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
But really, is it really revenge if the person that you're getting revenge doesn't know that that happened.
Gene
Well, I mean, does the evil guy really want the other person to know? No, not really.
Pat
That's true.
Gene
You know, I'm. I'm. I'm boohoo on the side.
Pat
That's crazy. But I'm just saying, like, why do you have to use your body to do it? I get that. You know what I mean? Just like, why do you have to involve yourself? Like, what happened to, like, slashes some.
Gene
Tires, but, like, nah, he ain't got no car.
Pat
Okay, I know, but listen, but listen, listen. I want you. I just want you to like, let's step outside of the box. I'm getting nutted on to get revenge.
Gene
Like, he's tonguing me down, and I just finished giving somebody the got gock 3000.
Pat
But I get that. I get that. But that's like. But you're turning yourself almost into a prostitute.
Gene
I mean, if you want to say it like that.
Pat
I mean, that's what I'm saying.
Mike
No, it's not. That's not. There's no money.
Gene
See, the thing is, there's no money, all right?
Mike
So.
Gene
No, there's tons of money. See, there's money with the other person. The person that I'm doing this with. I do get money from them. It's the same person. It's not multiple.
Pat
I know. You getting paid through all that.
Gene
That's one thing I do know, baby.
Pat
Yes, I already knew that or you wouldn't be doing it.
Gene
Yes, I live in. I live in New York. These buildings.
Pat
Yeah, yeah, but. Yeah, yeah, but I just think, like, getting came on is not like, it's not a good revenge tactic. Like, what about, like, I'm telling you, getting him to send you money, I get you say, what, he broke or something.
Gene
Oh, yeah, of course I've done that. Like taking a cab to the guy house that I got to go do stuff to. Like, you know, he's eating food that the guy made, or like, you know, he came in the rice, and I'm supposed to just eat it off and give it to him, and he eats it and I'm just there just looking at him. Like, it tastes really good, right? I know.
Pat
I just feel like.
Mike
Came in the rice.
Pat
Yeah, I just feel like. I just feel like nobody should be coming on you if you're trying to get revenge. Just like, I'm stuck there. I'm so sorry. I just feel like.
Gene
I know, but for me, for me, it fit. Like, at first I was. I don't know, it turned into, like, revenge, and revenge turned into something that I started to, like, got it. And then it's like I started to enjoy it to the point like, you.
Pat
Should have been there with that. As long as you enjoying it. I thought you was, like, torturing yourself. I'm enjoying to torture somebody else. Yeah.
Gene
I don't want to torture myself no more.
Pat
Okay.
Gene
No, I enjoy it because the money's sweet. And then I got to turn around and see him eating stuff that, you know.
Mike
Are you, like, seeking relationships then now?
Gene
Honestly, no. I don't even trust a man on this earth. I'm not even lying to you.
Mike
Yes.
Gene
You good?
Pat
Yes. They can't trust you either.
Gene
I know, I know. Don't trust me. For real, for real. Because I don't know when am I gonna get to a healthy point in my life. Like, I'm gonna stop one day.
Pat
I believe it, though. I believe it, though.
Gene
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Pat
No, I believe it. You're gonna be a great woman someday, but for now, you're a come dumb stage.
Gene
I am just loving it.
Pat
Yes.
Mike
Oh, God.
Pat
Just. Just live. Just live.
Mike
All right. You have a good one.
Gene
No, I am living. I felt like I wasn't living for a long time in my life. Like, I was just really a husband. Get a husband, because everyone around me was doing that.
Pat
So I was like, oh, oh, quick advice. Please, please, God, never tell your husband this. I'm telling you.
Gene
No, I won't.
Pat
Okay, good.
Gene
I would hope that my. My. My husband was a slut once upon. Once upon a time as well. So we both could be like, we're good people today.
Pat
I guarantee you to just leave this story out of it, though. I wouldn't call this being a slut.
Mike
You know what I mean?
Pat
There's a couple other words.
Gene
He would literally be like, is this. Is this food? Did you make it? Like, let me put you.
Pat
Oh, yeah, I forgot. Yeah, yeah. Can't trust you. Can't eat. Can't eat nothing around you.
Gene
I know.
Mike
All right, you have a good night.
Gene
Thanks. You too. Guys.
Pat
My first time saying this on the show. Be careful, fellas.
Mike
I was so confused. Yo, yo, you hear me? Yeah, yeah, we can hear you. I got a question for you. I was kind of skipping the formalities. What's something you want to see? Less of.
Pat
Unnecessary. Unnecessary weed packaging. Okay, so y' all know how. I don't know. I feel like this happens ever since, like, the pandemic niggas have been put in, like, weed and, like, the Like, I seen a PlayStation box last Station 5. I seen a fake pizza box, seen a fake AirPods case.
Gene
The boo boo pack, like, they just doing too much.
Mike
What really kind of like, put it over the edge for me is I.
Pat
Was with my man, and we was.
Mike
Talking about this shit, and he pulled.
Pat
Out a honey pack out of his pocket, and there was weed in it. That's actually dope. That is not dope, bro. That is not.
Mike
Because why are you asking me to.
Pat
Hit a honey pack? Because exactly the exact reason for this story. You remember the honey pack weed. Now you gonna go back if it was fire. You know what I'm saying?
Mike
Was it good?
Gene
I did not hit that.
Pat
That is super por. Yeah, okay. I mean, you made it that way. I was kind of weird by you. No, no, no. I didn't make it weird. He made it weird because.
Mike
Why are you pulling out a honey pack out your pocket, bro? Like, what's good? There was weed inside. Yeah. Y' all were probably there to smoke, right?
Pat
Where was y' all at? Why are you so uncomfortable? Oh, around your friend. I was at the skate Now. We was at the skate park, and we was just chilling. We were sitting down, and then we was. We was getting ready to smoke, and I had my own, and then we was trying to match, and he pulled out the honey pack, and I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna smoke my own. You could take care of yours and we'll be good. What was your weeding? I had pre rolls. I had pre Rollie. Like that.
Gene
That's crazy.
Pat
I had pre roll.
Gene
Hi.
Mike
Hi.
Pat
Hi.
Mike
Hi. Welcome to Crash Enemies podcast.
Gene
Oh, well, hi. Am I literally on the podcast right now?
Pat
I mean, it depends on how this call goes, if it makes it or not. What's up?
Gene
Well, hopefully not. Or you guys can, like, chomp and screw it, because I don't feel like I am ready. But I would like to vent about the cringy LinkedIn post.
Mike
What about him?
Gene
I mean, I'm just tired of LinkedIn becoming a medium for trauma dumping. Like, I understand that it is a social media platform, but it's supposed to be a place where people go to network for jobs. And I know that our economy is shit and a lot of people are losing their jobs, but I'm tired of, like, logging on LinkedIn and seeing that someone has just been diagnosed with stage four cancer, or their house and their mortgage is in the rears and they're about to be evicted, and then they try to sell you something, and it's.
Mike
What kind of algorithm that is LinkedIn.
Pat
Now, I don't.
Mike
Oh, LinkedIn is.
Gene
It's not an algorithm. Like, you guys are not on LinkedIn. But I'm telling you, I'm on LinkedIn.
Mike
It's.
Gene
Yeah, there's a. Congratulations.
Mike
There's a thing where people will, like, say like a sad story and then divert into a sales pitch.
Pat
Like, it's not a scam.
Mike
No, no, no. It's just the way. It's just like they're.
Gene
It's not a scam. It's just the way the world is working right now.
Mike
They're engagement farming.
Pat
Okay.
Mike
So they use that to get likes and activity on LinkedIn for job opportunities, right?
Gene
Yeah, it's not necessarily job opportunities. Sometimes they are literally trying to sell you software as. But people will get on there and say, like, the most depressing thing ever. And they're using Chat GPT, so it's like full of emojis. Like, it's. It's like, it's like clear and concise trauma. And then it's like, but I'm selling this or I'm doing that. Like, I could usually be a lot more funny, but you guys have called me when I'm.
Mike
I feel like this is relatable.
Pat
That's relatable, informational. Like, a lot of people. A lot of people. Don't fuck with this. Only thing I gotta say, if you use chat gbt, at least erase the long ass dashes, you ass niggas. I hate that, bro. Like, you think I'm this stupid, bro? Like, at least delete that, bro.
Mike
I had someone say, listen, as someone who.
Gene
Okay, go ahead, go ahead. No, I was gonna say it's like someone who is very good at writing. I don't even want to engage and write anything anymore because I think that people immediately default to, oh, this is well written in my GPT. So I'm like, I'm. I'm not even doing it because everyone's using it. LinkedIn is a mess. The world is a mess. And I don't know how relatable it is to the people who follow the podcast, but I am a LinkedIn.
Mike
No, that's crazy. Listen, no, we got. We got very. Our listeners very employed, especially the Patreon ones.
Pat
No, they gonna love this one.
Mike
They probably.
Pat
They probably gonna feel this one.
Mike
All right, you have a good one, boy.
Pat
Yo, welcome to Crash on these podcast. What's good, yo? Chilling, man. Dope, dope, dope. All right, I got a question for you. Yeah, yeah. What's up? What's something you want to see less of? Stop laughing while I'm talking, bro. All right, I got you, man.

Mike

Pat
So wait, so people don't know that it's a season three? Is that why you can't tell us what show it is?
Gene
Yeah, yeah, I can't. I can't. Like, legally, I can't say anything.
Pat
Got it. Yeah. We don't want you to lose your.
Mike
Job, so I'll ask the difference.
Pat
I want to know.
Mike
Since you shoot a film, do you, like, know the ending of, like, some series, like, as people are watching it?
Gene
Sometimes, but, like, I'm not like an actor or anything, so I'm not like always on set.
Pat
But yeah, sometimes, like, I will know.
Gene
Have you guys seen that show Devil in Ohio?
Mike
No.
Pat
No, but go ahead. Some people have. Yeah. So I, like, knew, like all the.
Gene
Major scenes, so I'm pretty much a pa. So I'm like, you know, I do all the grimy work, but yeah, man.
Mike
So why do you hate the Tick Tock relationship gurus then?
Gene
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, Back on that. Yeah, man, I don't know. Like, sometimes I'll be like, chilling and.
Pat
Then my girl get a Tick Tock.
Gene
And be like, yo, your boyfriend should get you flowers and steak, like every.
Pat
Every, like the first day of your period.
Gene
Every single time.
Pat
Now I'm like, looking at her like.
Gene
Nah, that ain't happening.
Pat
No, that's crazy. Flowers and steak, that's once a month. Like a snake. Like 14 in flowers. Like three. That's 17. No, I think I Get it, though.
Gene
No, it's not. It's not 14, man, that, like, 30 bucks.
Pat
Oh, it is. I mean, I get, like, rubbing her feet.
Gene
I get, like, revenue fee, you know, like, doing all those things that, like, make her comfortable, but, like.
Pat
Whoa, whoa.
Mike
Go ahead, go ahead.
Pat
Oh, no, no.
Gene
I mean, you know, like, getting her, like a. Like a heat pad or, like.
Pat
Yeah, you know, just like that stuff.
Mike
So does your girl expect the steak and the flowers, or are you just projecting?
Gene
Yeah, I wouldn't say she expects it, but she, like, gives me the side eye.
Pat
Be like, oh, you do that. I'm like, nah, it's not like I work seven days a week. I don't get. All right, what's the point of being in a relationship then if you can't get. Get your woman what she want?
Gene
I mean, I feel like for the most. Most of the time. Yeah, I'd say I'm terrible.
Mike
All right, bro, go get some sleep, man. All right.
Pat
Thanks, man.
Gene
Yeah, okay.
Pat
Have a good YouTube.
Mike
Yes.
Pat
Hello. Everybody say yes. Hello.
Mike
As yo. Welcome to Crash Dummies.
Pat
Such a crazy conversation. Never heard a say hello?
Gene
Hey. It's just.
Pat
It's being subtle, you know? No. All right. I got a question for you, bro. What's up? Pat, don't say that. What's your most painful realization about yourself? That I tend to over explain myself, and when I do, I throw myself into some really shitty situations I don't know how to get out of.
Mike
Okay.
Pat
Explain looking. Dumb toys. Well, it just. It's just. It just happens. It's just like those. Those in the moments, and I've had breezes, and I've had moments where I just. Like, my brain just kind of just wanders off and I start over explaining, and I've had my friends tell me like two to three times, like, hey, bro, you kind of over explain yourself, and you may let yourself read yourself. Lockdown. So, like, for example, at work, I'm a welder, so they kind of. Where I work at, they're kind of picking with the blueprints. And I've had, like, a couple of my friends that work with me. They're like, hey, man, you cannot over explain yourself. And you made yourself look dumb. And. And it took me a while to realize that because I'm really. How do you say? I hate being told. I hate being. I hate being corrected. I don't like to get wrong, but it gives me an ache. Yo, bro. Bro, what's up? You doing it again? You know? You see what I mean? Yeah, bro. Annoying. Bro, I see what they talking about.
Mike
You went for your friend. I kind of got a while. You went for your friend and then you told me you're a welder. We did ask you to explain your story, but yeah, I can see where they might be coming from for sure.
Pat
Yeah, Yeah.
Gene
I don't know.
Pat
I see, I see. I see a lot of people take it as the same place and I don't know. And like, I've been listening to you guys for a really long time, so, like, man, why not just share like a random story about what happens down there every day of my life? Yeah, man, we appreciate you, bro, for being vulnerable and letting the masses hear us. This is probably a horrible story. I kid you not.
Gene
I know this is a horrible story.
Pat
It's probably a shitty explanation. But man, I've.
Mike
I've seen a lot of your other.
Pat
Callers and some of them are.
Gene
Brain.
Mike
Had lost a couple brain cells in.
Pat
The process of life.
Mike
Yeah. What do you have to say to them, man? It's your platform, bro.
Pat
Man, as a fellow. As a fellow human that loses brain cells too. Y' all need to step your game up because, man, we make ourselves look bad.
Mike
What are you doing to step up?
Pat
I'm just trying to learn from, From. From other people and just. Just try not to make the same mistakes, you know, I gotta take accountability. And like I said, a lot of the listeners don't seem to have that. What are you taking accountability for, bro? You name something, you took accountability for.
Mike
Us.
Pat
Oh, man, see what I mean? I got myself into a mess. I can't sit down.
Mike
They just be talking.
Pat
They gotta hold themselves accountable and don't even know if he's been held held accountable for it. It's crazy. All right, bro, you have a good one, man. I apologize. I. I wish I would have given y' all more.
Mike
But that's good. That's good.
Pat
I'm a faithful listener, man.
Gene
I started off with.
Pat
I started. I'll tell you this. I'm like, I'm like, from like. I saw like episode 60 ish from. From the girl overdosing in fat. Oh, damn. Take. Take you a while to start them sentences, huh? Y. My brain takes a minute to.
Mike
To, bro.
Pat
But hey, man, I appreciate it. Like I said, big fan.
Mike
I'll be studying too.
Pat
In the podcast, man.
Gene
That's.
Pat
That's another issue, man. Hey, self diagnosed ADHD is what I say over explaining. All right? Joe Biden.
Mike
Girls would talk about another girl. And then the moment you reply, well, maybe that's when they turn on you. Cause, you know, like, as guys, I feel like we always want to give people an out sometimes, especially when it's a girl. It's just like, you never want to be a me. Like, for me, I can't speak for every guy. Some guys might want to be like, yeah, fuck that bitch type of shit. But for me, sometimes, I always try to see the other side sometimes.
Pat
Yeah, that's how you get the instant side. Eye of judgment.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Trying to figure out whose side you're on. But I think it's because, like, the guys I know, like, y'.
Mike
All.
Pat
If. If y' all said something to me that I really didn't believe, and I know I had the information to change your mind, I would say that to you right then and there, and you might actually receive it. I know there's a chance you receive it. Well.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Like, if Gene like, nah, that dude was mean mugging. He a bitch. Like, nah, bro, buddy, blind. I think Gene be like, oh, shit. Oh, that's fucked up. But, like, wouldn't be like, no, I know blind people. No, I. I've been around blind people before.
Mike
They never stare. Like, I think some guys, especially the guys in relationship, the mistake they might make, though, is divulging too defensive, a too much defense. Like. Like, you know this person. Like, you know this person that they might not know, you know? Yeah, you might still. He's like, oh, this person, she's a bitch. Or something like that. Yeah. Like, nah, she, you know, she comes from a really good family or some shit like that. And it's like, what?
Pat
Yeah, I feel like. I feel like as dudes, we can not, like, somebody. And something can change that. Like, oh, I thought dude was this certain way, but he's not. Women are. I feel like obviously it's their intuition that they have. So, like, when you got two people that both have intuition and both of their intuition say they don't like each other, they probably right.
Mike
Like, the thing about women intuition be right. It's just sometimes I hate the way they get to the right.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
It's like, this is not the way this happened. But you. You reached the right end point. Yeah. Everything in the middle, they'd be right.
Pat
Like, yes, I did something wrong. They'd be coming to you. Be like, you another woman. It's like, like, I forgot to take out the trash. But you knew I did something wrong. Like, so you was right about me doing something wrong. I ain't gonna take out the trash. You gotta chill on the Other woman, though. I can't do this for the rest of my life.
Mike
I saw a meme that guys would point out the smallest point in a.
Pat
In a.
Mike
When a girl's accusing them or something. Oh, yeah, bro. You'd be like, you that girl on Tuesday. And then guy would be like, it wasn't even Tuesday, it was Monday.
Pat
No, they won't say it like that. There'd be something slick like, I was with you Tuesday. You still her. You that girl on Tuesday in my house. Yeah, like, how I.
Mike
A girl on Tuesday when I was with you, though, all day.
Pat
You fucked a girl on Monday. Okay, okay. You say that, but you was wrong before, so you could be wrong again. It could be gas. It'd be up when they. Women be falling for that. You ever see your boy do some. I had one of my friends do something so bad, and his. His wife caught him, and the next day everything was good. What did this say.
Mike
Bro? Dudes would tell me, like, the stories dudes are telling me, I'll be ready to hate. Like, I'll be hating.
Pat
And you believe that you caught him in bed?
Mike
Yeah, dudes.
Pat
You believe the taekwondo shit for real?
Mike
She really, like, I've heard dudes tell me, like, no, she. I told her that was my massage therapist.
Pat
I was like, what? Believe that? No, that shit is crazy, though. Like, dude, I hate when people do that, though. I know. If I'm arguing with you. I think I talked about it last week. If I'm arguing with you about something that's, like, hurting my feelings or is getting under my skin, and you use anything with any technicalities, I'm not fucking with the conversation.
Mike
With what?
Pat
Like, with what? Okay, if I tell you, like, last. Last Tuesday, when we was at dinner, before the waitress brought us our food, you said something rude, and you knew. You said something rude and you know that's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about you doing something rude. Right? And the person goes, no, that was. We didn't even talk before the waitress was there. And then the time changes of like, oh, we did that. It was after dinner, but you knew what I was talking about.
Mike
Still did the thing.
Pat
But you arguing about a technicality, like, something that I messed up in the story and you made me take longer to get to my point. And now I, like, don't have the energy or the mind space. You make me forget what I was going to say.
Mike
That's the part that. Hey, is one thing. Yeah. When you get technical, you forget where you were going. Yeah.
Pat
That's because, like, people try to, like, add those details to, like, make it more, like, emotional. Yeah. I really take you into that setup. And the candle was lit. Like, actually, the candle was off until you forget what I was arguing about. You know, I got adhd. I'll be back, though. I'm mad as hell. I'm about to go figure out why.
Mike
That'S why I would never want to be, like, high and argue. Because sometimes you get to a point where you start arguing and you forgot where you started. So. So you just got to keep talking, talking until you remember where you. Now you start saying some.
Pat
Yeah, I don't. I like. That's why I don't do weed in bad situations and do weed. Yeah. At least I didn't say drugs. Come on now. Do weed.
Mike
Drugs. But drugs.
Pat
Drugs is multiple, though.
Mike
Do you do.
Pat
It just sound cooler, though? I. A lot.
Mike
Yeah, drugs. Hey, it perk. Perk me up.
Pat
Say the other one.
Mike
Ecstasy.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
That'S crazy.
Pat
I don't got that one. I don't do weed. I don't do the Mary Jane. But I don't do that. Like, when I'm know I want to be in an argument or something like that because I. If I'm high, I don't give a. Yeah, I'll pack my bags right now and move a thousand miles away from here and then sober up and my ego be so big, like, yeah, I can't go back. It is what it is. High Pat said what High Pat had to say, man.
Mike
Yeah, in my past relationships, when there was arguments and there was any. I don't really drink to. I don't get, like, drunk drunk. Like, I don't, like, drink that much. I might have one drink.
Pat
Haram.
Mike
I might have one drink. But, like, if you're in, like, past relationships and stuff like that and alcohol is involved, I leave the argument there. Like, I just say, no, you right this and that. Because I know the next day I'm already saving everything. I'm like, yeah, this is where, you know, all the apologies happen the next day and shit like that.
Pat
You got that? Drinking stuff. Like, when someone's high, you can kind of still talk to them. It's somewhere in there. But, like, when people drinking, man, I didn't see some people do some nasty things. Like, crazy, like, bro, no way. And some people, like, they do such, like, crazy that you would never look at them the same, no matter if they was drunk or not. Like, you ever heard somebody say some wild. When they was drunk or do some Wild. And no matter how good of a person they were since that moment, that's the only moment you could think of like you like man. Nah bro. You kiss that in the back of his head. Okay, there's a clip.
Mike
There'S a clip from the Shannon Sharpe podcast with Pierce and it's about dating a five versus a pretty ten woman. Oh man, you told us that look a hard working man.
Pat
And this is uncomfortable by the way.
Mike
This is very uncomfortable.
Pat
Pretty girls alone get you a five.
Mike
Get you a solid six.
Pat
Keep it real.
Mike
Get you a five solid six.
Pat
Get some somebody that's humble. Yeah.
Mike
That don't require all this because 9, 10, that's a lot of maintenance. That's a lot of lucky.
Pat
And see and I, and I, and.
Mike
I always have to go back.
Pat
I'm not gonna tell her she a five or six.
Mike
Right. Like we all know I'm gonna let.
Gene
Her give her a nine.
Mike
It's a very uncommon in a sense. But there was another one with another clip too. He was talking about like marriage is for broke or old people in a sense too. Even those type of conversations. Like I get what he's trying to say. He's trying to say like don't go after those girls. That might seem more materialistic but he's.
Pat
Also saying that marriage is a business also.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Like usually in America with your salaries that you have, it's better to be with someone. So. So if you know the cap on your life that you're ever going to make is 90k a year, it's best you find somebody else that's making 90k a year so you can achieve some things that you want to achieve. And you basically saying if you rich, you don't need that. Which is dumb because who the fuck listening to you right now is people that make 90k.
Mike
The whole like rating system too to me is a little, I don't know, it can be a little cringe in a sense.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
Because they talk from a perspective of famous athlete. So like they're saying stay away from the tens, the girls that deem tens and stuff like that.
Pat
Right.
Mike
And it's still very your perspective of what is a 10 to you. And like there's other things that make people. I don't even like rating people because that's just weird. It doesn't make any sense. But there's certain. Obviously there's more to a girl's look that makes them their quote unquote rating go up in a sense.
Pat
Yeah. The rating only matters to people that you can Obtain. Yeah, so it's dumb. It's a made up thing.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Because if you sit here and be like, yeah, yeah, Pat, look at this girl, she like an eight and a half. But if that same dude took that girl out and they started dating, what is she now? I bet you she a ten, right? So she was never eight and a half to you. She was only eight and a half. Because you were trying to compare on this scale to all the girls in the world. But what about the girls that you can get, my nigga. So I think that's a 10 if you calling her. You know what I mean? It's like, nigga, know you.
Mike
You know what I'm saying?
Pat
Because what are you on the scale.
Mike
Then it's it man.
Pat
But you gotta ask yourself, because it's a lot of racist women out here that would say us three is the zeros. You know what I mean? Like, so is that our scale? It's about the person that's in front of you. So then technically there's no scale because it's like, what's the difference between an eight and a half and a 10? And somebody, somebody be like, yeah, I don't date eight and a half.
Mike
Yeah, somebody gonna say, but from my perspective too, it's like, don't, don't date a girl based on just looks. Because to me, when it's a pretty girl and the pretty girl is just like, they all look are pretty. Right? You know, there's not like this one looks better than the other one. The only thing that makes anything better. Why are you laughing?
Pat
Don't leave me alone.
Mike
The only thing that can make things better is the way they act. Cause I've seen girls that like beautiful as hell, right? And then they'll say something and it's like, eh, that kind of brought the quote unquote rating down. You know what I mean? They don't look. No, it's just a different perspective.
Pat
But you backed, right and. No, I get what you said.
Mike
I'm only using rating for this, this conversation.
Pat
Yes, right.
Mike
Because it's like in my head, I'm not thinking, oh, she's a 10, she just went down to eight.
Pat
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
Mike
She went down a level in my head.
Pat
We're both saying the same thing. If the scale can move, then it doesn't really exist because it's like, okay, if your girlfriend's eight and a half or I mean she attend now and then the same thing you just said. Yeah, if it moves like oh, if you find out, out she was a 10 before and then you find out she make super dark humor jokes. Okay. Like, what is she now? You know what I'm saying? Are you gonna take those jokes home? You know, is she still a 10?
Mike
That fake, bro, do you think you're gonna lose interest? Somebody can. Look, I was saying you're in a relationship and you know how some people lose the love in a relationship? Do you think that love is ever just. Just physical attractiveness to somebody? Like, somebody can lose that? I don't think you're as beautiful as when we started dating.
Pat
I don't think it's just. I don't think it would be just that.
Mike
You think, Okay. I just. I always wonder.
Pat
I feel like, I feel like that's not that complicated. I feel like love. I feel like you never know until the person finds out.
Mike
Right.
Pat
Everybody thinks that's why the divorce rate is so high. Because some people have, have like perfect timing. They meet their wife or husband at a perfect time. They both get their first jobs at the same time. They both want to have a kid at the same time. But what happened when somebody go through a little bit adversity would, you know, you're going to run into, like, people, older people gonna die in your family. You're gonna gain a little weight, have to lose it back and stuff like that.
Mike
Physically look older.
Pat
Yeah. So it's like, what are you gonna do with adversity? And like, I feel like some people's love depends on how they deal with adversity. Because it's like, okay, your wife had a kid and she's recovering and it took her a year and a half, two years to get off the weight. But you start cheating a year in because you couldn't hold it no more. You're like, oh, you don't look the same. I'm about to go do with some other girls. That means like, you ain't really love her that hard, bro. So I don't know, like, what is real love, bro? Come on, bro.
Mike
Do you say that people, the people that like, survive. Are there people out there that post.
Pat
On Tick Tock real quick, Are there.
Mike
Some people that don't have, like, the adversity in their life and it's like they only love this person because they haven't experienced that adversity?
Pat
Yes.
Mike
So do you think just people just get lucky in life? I don't have that adversity. I've never been put in a. In a situation that made me pick between cheating on my Wife and stuff.
Pat
Like that or the thing that. Or the thing that would make them fall out of love just never happens.
Mike
Yeah. Right.
Pat
So it's a lot of people that love. They think they love unconditionally, but the thing that they would stop loving for is just unlikely to happen. Right. This. This wife loves her husband through everything. Through his weight journey, he gained some weight. He got gray hair. He stopped working out as much. He let him do everything, but he get both legs amputated and she like, I really like calf muscles. I really love. I love Joe Calf. That ain't that not there no more. You know, your quads is like Vienna sausages. I just can't.
Mike
If you see one of your best friend's girl cheating in public and you happen to bump into them, what is your first thing that you're doing?
Pat
I think I'm gonna get a little video evidence. Oh, I bumped into them.
Mike
Yeah, you bumped into them.
Pat
I'm getting video evidence. I'm pulling out my phone, like, hey, nice to see y' all here at Cafe Hollander. Sitting here having some soup.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
And hibiscus.
Mike
So do you. Because I always hear this conversation is like, you better tell him before I tell him, or I'll give you. I'm gonna give you the opportunity to tell him before I do.
Pat
Nah, that crazy. I'm not saying nothing. There's no words that needs to be had. Matter of fact, buy me a drink.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
My blackmail a little bit. Yeah. I need 10,000.
Mike
I think it's always a. It's an awkward thing because I. For me, I think I would just not say anything. I just keep walking. Yeah. And then eventually tell or tell my friend, like, hey, I just saw your girl. Blank, blank, blank.
Pat
Think it depends. And it also depends on, like, I don't want to be wrong, but I'm definitely going to give them hints. Be like, bro, tell me this. I'm just being real. If my girl was with another dude at a restaurant, I couldn't with that. Would you. With that?
Mike
Because I guess it is. It makes a difference of how you catch them. So if you see your. Your friend's girl with any dude in public.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
Are you telling your friends, hey, I saw your girl with some. A random dude that you probably don't know.
Pat
Yes. And I'm telling him immediately because he needs to go through his own process. And I hope his process is something similar to what I would do. Okay. Is once you get the information, now you get to read the person's every single move before they Tell you. So if I happen to saw the hypothetical girl, you know, this situation, and I saw your girl out and with another guy, I would give you that information right away. Like, yo, I just saw your girl with another guy, hoping you just, you know, be calm and not just call your girl and be like, where you at right now?
Mike
Think about people. There's some people you give, like, like, dramatic news to and say, hey, you need to slow play this. This news, right? Don't. Don't act on it yet. But I'm gonna tell you this so you can now play it smart.
Pat
One time, I literally told a dude some information about a girl trying to put him on, like, yo, be careful, blah, blah. And within 24 hours, that girl confronted me about it. I was like, what the. What the. How does that happen, bro? Then I just tell you, don't. Like, you post a BP with the information, like, kind of like playing in a way that not to get back. I get what people want to, like, confront, but there's a different way to bring it up. You can almost make it seem like you found it out naturally.
Mike
Yeah, that's.
Pat
But that's what I would hope you would do. You would, you know, ask your girl, like, hey, what you doing right now? First thing you should do is call a person. Call your girl. Like, right? So I know my girl's phone is available. She's just out at dinner with some dude, right? She should be able to see my call and pick up the phone.
Mike
Yeah, right?
Pat
So you should call Bam. Okay. I ain't getting no answer back, so she must be too busy to even call me, right? And then I'm gonna call her on the way home. While she's on the way home, she's probably gonna call me back. Oh, what were you up to now? I gotta see if you lied about your whereabouts.
Mike
Yeah, yeah.
Pat
You know, and let's say I went to a restaurant with a friend. Now I gotta dive into who the friend is. You know, it at some point. Basically, you just keep questioning a partner until you run into a lie that you know is definitely a lie.
Mike
Right.
Pat
You're not telling the truth because once.
Mike
You crash out, you kind of give them leeway to say some random things because you got to make them say all facts, like, without feeling that pressure, because you got to say the person they're with, a friend, this and that. Because you say, who the fuck was that dude? You were there. And be like, oh, that was my cousin or something. You know, something random that they can lie about, bro.
Pat
People Are so stupid. With interrogate, you're literally to. Some people tell the other person what they know already. And that's the biggest mistake you made. I always got this scenario, right. There's two different type of people in life, right? When it comes to their significant other stepping out on them, cheating on them or whatever, Some people want the full experience so they can be done.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Some people don't even want it to happen, or they would stop it happen. So this is a scenario, right? You're walking in a hotel, and down this long hallway, you see your significant other walking with somebody else.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
They are about to walk into a hotel room together. They're not holding hands. They're not staring at each other. They're just about to walk into a hotel room together. There's two different type of people.
Mike
Yeah, right.
Pat
There's those type of people that just go, hey, hey. Where the. What the are you doing? Now those two people can turn around. You'll never know the truth and just be like, I was showing her how my door works, bro. Chill. Yeah, because she's locked out of y' all room now. You'll never know like, that. I never know. Like, damn. But there's other people who wait until they walk into the room and go put their ear on the door, listen. Wait until they hear something and break it down and kill them both.
Mike
So it's like, you know, it's two different types of people. Oh, my God. I would have so many questions. Hey, bro, I saw your girl at a hotel, and she was fucking the dude. I'm like, oh, you saw that? He said, nah, I just heard it. Yeah, How'd you hear them?
Pat
Actually, bro, I didn't even have to put my ear on the door. Like, I was actually on my way to call you, and I still heard it from the elevator. I'm pretty sure they still doing it, bro. Like an hour ago.
Mike
Yeah, it's like, no, she definitely helped.
Pat
Him put it back in, bro. Man, it's crazy.
Mike
I feel like it's like those scary movies sometimes, too, when people hear, like, the loud. Are you like the. You hear the loud noise and then you. You go downstairs and check on it? Or like. Like in the scary movie, I guess, for more of a sense of, like, they see they're in the woods, you hear screaming. They then go into the forest to see, hey, who's getting stabbed and screaming.
Pat
Yeah, I think them two different situations.
Mike
Yeah. Your house is like, yeah, if I'm.
Pat
Already walking along the path, and to my left or right is Some distant noise and then I'm going to keep along my path. Yeah, I really don't give a fuck what's going on.
Mike
I could call and be like, hey, call the cops. Or some say call this.
Pat
They might intercept the call like getting you next.
Mike
So now get home first. Yeah, okay, I'll call, I'll call. I'll call the cops and say, hey, I heard some screaming in such and force. But I'm not going.
Pat
If it's like. If it's like a woman screaming. Yeah, it's different. If it's a dude screaming, ain't nothing I can do.
Mike
But no, I wouldn't know though. After two, I would call the cops right away. But I don't think I'm going to go play Superman inside the forest. But.
Pat
But the house thing though.
Mike
Yeah, the house is. Yeah. Different. That was a bad example.
Pat
Yeah, the house thing. I gotta go check it right away. I just recently had somebody walk into my apartment while I was sleep. They. I signed my lease late for my apartment. I renewed my lease late because I thought I was going to move somewhere else. And I guess they never notify the cleaning carpet people. And they walked into my place like full, like in my place. And I popped up.
Mike
Think it's about to be Swiss cheese, man.
Pat
They saw. They saw that morning wood and they got up out of them. Oh my God.
Mike
I've walked into somebody's. I don't know if I told this story in the pod, but I walked into somebody's apartment twice. And the way it was because I was on my phone. This is why you should never just pay attention when you're walking. I'm on my phone. You know, you just kind of have muscle memory of where your apartment is down on the hallway. I might have misjudged. I have two elevators where I can go to and I think I forgot which car we parked or something like that. I was walking and I walk into the apartment. I look around, I said, holy shit, this is not my part. I closed the door and I run down the stairs super quick.
Pat
That's more innocent. I'd rather do that. My dumb ass did it in the same building I was in. I just must have hit level blah blah blah instead of blah blah blah before I say, but I must have hit that. And when I got to their door, I was already having kind of a bad day.
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
So I was like, man, what the.
Mike
And I was, oh, you didn't go in though.
Pat
No, but it was just the fact that I was trying to break in so bad that I'm like, it gotta be my key. So I'm like trying to, like, so really so even. Like, yours is just like, oh, shit. Why are you in my house? Like, oh, my God. I swear to God, I thought, this is my apartment. I'm tripping. Mine is like, I'm over here. Like, but it is. And then if I go, oh, I thought this is my apartment. It's like, bro, then why you twisted.
Mike
The key like that? And then the second time at that.
Pat
Point, you got to go through it. Yeah, I'm about to rob your ass.
Mike
And then I walked into the guy's apartment again and I heard his dog barking.
Pat
I was a dude.
Mike
Yeah. And he was like. All I heard was like, who's that? And I closed the door.
Pat
That rap again. I ran so fast, bro.
Mike
I have. That has to like, fuck with you, though.
Pat
Yeah.
Mike
Okay. This is the first one. His door was unlocked for no reason. That's why. That's what made it worse.
Pat
No, you can't say that.
Mike
Yeah, it was unlocked, locked.
Pat
I know, but like, he can't have his door unlocked.
Mike
No.
Pat
In the apartment without some big ass black dude barging through. Like, God forbid. Have faith in humanity. Tweet of the week. T Pain said 200 women in the spot. Ain't none of them hot. I'm crying. Where the he was at?
Mike
200 unattractive woman.
Pat
That's kind of crazy, bro. You're a little picky, bro.
Mike
Yeah, that's it.
Pat
That's a little worse.
Mike
Like, I don't think you can be in a room.
Pat
Hey, listen, if my friend came back and told me it was 200 women there and what, none of them attractive, I'm gonna start looking at them like.
Mike
Sure.
Pat
You sure you would even pick one if it was 500?
Mike
Yeah.
Pat
Oh, man.
Mike
That's how some people feel about their colleges, though. I've heard people say, like, oh, there's. There's not that many. There's no good looking girls on our. On our college campus.
Pat
But they're lying. That means, like, I mean, we. I'm not gonna say we could say that. But like, if you go to a smaller college, usually the best looking women are gonna have boyfriends. They're gonna be in relationship. So you're probably looking at, you know, what's left. And if you left, then guess what?
Mike
That's what I think people don't realize.
Pat
Yeah. Look at you, single too. All right, all right. Black aunties, get on Facebook and say anything. This is in quotes. Love that. Picture stomach getting big. Uncle Rob died in his sleep. Call me. No, for real.
Mike
They be trying to have full conversations in the comments.
Pat
Yes.
Mike
I hate when people do that. It's just like, oh, how you been? And they're good. I haven't seen you since this and that. Like. Like, at some point, like, this has to go to the DMs.
Pat
That's how it used to be, though. I think that's how my space used to be.
Mike
I think, especially back then, like, dms weren't really, like, people did kind of communicate through comments. Damn.
Pat
There.
Mike
There was no really direct message.
Pat
It was all out and over. Yeah, it was. It was like, you. You. You always test two people flirting and, like, d. Oh, okay. Let's have sex then. Like, hey, hey. You know, we can see y'. All. Okay. The tweet says acknowledging someone. Acknowledging someone as handsome slash beautiful doesn't mean you're interested in them. And somebody quoted the tweet and said, if you're not interested in me, I don't care that you find me handsome. Keep it to yourself. Like, real, real shit for me. But that's not everybody. I've seen what I love. I love when women do this, right? A woman to see another woman on a date and go up to that woman in front of everybody and say, you look so good today. Like, it's just like that woman empowerment. Dudes do it too. Like, we act like we know each other and shit. Like, yo, yo, yo, what up? But, like, as far as if it's not something like, in that nature from, like, a auntie or your mom or something like that. Like, I don't want no random person just saying, I'm so handsome. And like. Like the I'm supposed to do if it's random.
Mike
I feel like if it's a friend and stuff like that handsome. But like, if the. Their friend says, oh, you look good in that. That outfit that you got on.
Pat
Yeah, I don't need no. I don't need a compliment from a stranger.
Mike
Yeah. Yeah.
Pat
That's just me, though. But that's not everybody. Some people that makes their day that still make me walk different. I ain't going to lie. Oh, it's a badass doc. I was walking. I was wearing my. My cowboy boots, I think, for the first time. And I was walking, like, down the street to get some coffee or something, wearing, like, some vintage tea, you know. It was a good fit. Yeah.
Mike
I think I appreciate people complimenting fits.
Pat
In passing is fine. I'm saying, like, my idea Was through dms. Yeah. Don't DM me. Like, with the hard eyes and. And I click on your page and it's your husband and kids like, yo, what the going on? My husband said you look good, too. I'm good over that. You guys are cucks. Oh, no, I gotta go to this. A D Hutch special right here.
Mike
That'd be crazy. We found out that Pat used to be someone's. Is it. If you're the one. Somebody's wife, does that make you. What are. What's the title for the person? Because the couple are cucks. Right.
Pat
And it's cuck hole. Right. Is that the.
Mike
Yeah, yeah.
Pat
I don't know.
Mike
Is that person a cuck too, though?
Pat
This crazy question. Khaki.
Mike
I'm just saying, though, why does cuck does sound like a curse word.
Pat
It is.
Mike
It's kind of like a strong. It's a strong word that I'm like, if it just feels like you shouldn't be saying it. He got serious.
Pat
I don't think it's so serious.
Mike
It just feels like should be saying it. I'm just. I'm actually just trying to feel white noise so you can get to the front.
Pat
Oh, okay. That was racist.
Mike
What? White noise?
Pat
Yeah. That's random.
Mike
Racist. Is that racist?
Gene
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah, so be it.
Pat
I wonder how I got called white noise. I know. Oppression was silent. No, I'm kidding. You ever lay your head on your girl's stomach and heard the dookuy said dookie. You ever lay your head on your girl's stomach and heard the dookie boil in it?
Mike
I saw a meme like that. Like, why anytime you put your head on your girl stomach, it starts rumbling.
Pat
She be hungry as hell. Because that's the only time you put your head on a girl's stomach. When you broke. Ah, babe, baby, babe. You cook ramen again?
Gene
He's tired of it.
Mike
I haven't ate ramen in a minute.
Pat
All right. I'm good, bro.

Episode 229: "Is It For Sale?"
Release Date: October 22, 2025
Hosts: Patrick Johnson & Michael Esiobu
Pat and Mike return with another freewheeling, comic discussion of modern relationships, internet trends, and social dynamics—this week, exploring the theme “Is It For Sale?” They’re joined by their recurring guest Gene and a range of call-in guests, who offer both hilarious and unexpectedly candid revelations. The episode combines signature banter, deep dives into current behaviors (from viral dating trends to awkward club etiquette), and a series of interactive audience calls, culminating in stories about revenge, body image, and authenticity in both life and relationships.
[01:00 – 03:40]
On literal language:
[05:01 – 08:11]
The hosts discuss a viral video: a man is hesitant to DM a girl he likes, preferring to just like her stories. The conversation spins off into perspectives on rejection avoidance and emotional labor in pursuing relationships.
They unpack the common cycle of both men and women wanting to be wanted, but also fearing rejection (with Pat describing stories where both sides are waiting for the other to make a move, only for things to fizzle).
"I haven't been rejected a lot because I don't shoot my shot a lot." – Mike [07:58]
[08:11 – 11:30]
Pat jokes about the old practice of having friends talk to your crush on your behalf, and how there’s an age limit for that "shield".
They analyze how masculine displays, even in approaching women, feed into broader dating expectations. Pat stresses the importance of men making the first move, especially in clubs—women, he argues, interpret "sending a friend" as a lack of confidence ("Every girl want to be swept off their feet."). [11:00]
[11:46 – 15:00]
Pat and Mike compare their approaches to conflict and revenge. Mike admits, "I like my revenge to slow cook a little bit" [12:58], while Pat claims he’d rather be upfront and direct.
They riff on exaggerated punishments, like "buying his mama’s house and throwing parties in her old room," as a way to cope with slights.
[18:00 – 20:15]
[20:33 – 32:00] | Main Segment
Gene, who works retail, complains about married men flirting at work. The conversation flips: would it still be a problem if they offered money?
"Gene: $3,000, I might gotta give them what they want.
Pat: That's for sale. I want to let you know that's pretty cheap, too." [30:38]
In-depth discussion of transactional relationships, joking about the “retail prostitution” and comparing the cost of a TV ($2,800) to Gene’s tongue-in-cheek “price.”
Mike points out: "The only reason you have a problem with married men hitting on single women is because they haven't offered money." [31:36]
[33:29 – 36:43]
[38:35 – 54:31]
[54:54 – 60:04]
[60:23 – 64:07]

This episode brings together irreverent humor, blunt relationship advice, and real listener stories, exploring the surface and depth of 2025’s dating mores and social annoyances. “Is It For Sale?” ultimately refers not just to literal transactions, but the value and cost—emotional, personal, and financial—of our choices.
Listeners come away laughing, but also thinking twice about the price tags we (sometimes unwittingly) attach to our self-worth, relationships, and authenticity.
