4. Classic Story Time: Almost Getting Set Up for a Robbery

Main Segment: [15:02–28:40]

• Setting: Teenage Thomas delivering pizza at apartments known for recent robberies in Merced.
• The Setup:
  • Senses something off about a delivery to a vacant apartment and a group of intimidating men nearby.
  • He’s circled by the group—about to get mugged—when a former friend (Jerry), now in the gang, recognizes him.
  • Jerry defuses the situation and safely walks Thomas out.
  • Memorable Quote:
    • “He walks up to me, puts [an] arm [around me], looks at his guys: He’s like 'what’s up fool…just go back to work…these fools are crazy.'” [23:14]
  • Thomas reflects: “Sometimes gang bangers can be cool, you know. They remember you.” [28:07]
• Moral of the Story: Situations can flip fast, and the right connections can save you in dangerous moments. Also, sometimes “one big episode” of wild life just keeps rolling.

[B]

[A]

What's up, guys? Welcome back to the podcast. It's been a while since we had a solo episode. I'm very excited for everybody out in the unrestricted. You get on solo every week, but that's a little different. We're usually just really wrecked. So welcome back to the podcast. I'm stoked, guys. We have a lot going on. We've had a lot going on.

Anytime Marty says I don't remember that, I'm gonna just talk about it.

[B]

Rare moment.

[A]

Rare, rare moment. I think. Let's get started. I haven't seen anybody. I haven't been solo since we've done it. A shout out to everybody that showed up to the Tempe Improv. I really appreciate you. We had a. Two weeks ago, we did four shows. We did two on Friday, two on Saturday. Thank you for showing up. I really appreciate it. The first time traveling to do stand up, which is sick. Shout out to David Lucas for inviting me to open or host. I should say I hosted all four shows. It was. It was super fun. It was really awesome. Hosting is easy. As soon as I'm done with my set, my heart's gotta go up and say your name. I'm gonna get drunk or do whatever. It's really cool.

[B]

So you weren't sitting around stressing all day?

[A]

Nah, not really nice. I finally. I did four sets of the same exact set. I think I got it. I have a show. Oh, oh, this coming out. I just had a show on Friday from this episode coming out. I just had a show on Friday at the Covina Laugh Factory. And this weekend, if you're watching it this weekend, this is current time. If you're watching this episode this Friday and Saturday at the Miami Improv. Yes, In Miami. I have two shows on Friday. I have two shows on Saturday. Opening. Well, I think I'm gonna be second with David Lucas. He's on his tour right now. So I'm just doing some dates with them. Come check it out. I'm very excited. I'm gonna come out swinging. Me and Marty were trying to figure out unrestricted. I think I'm gonna come out to Miami, look around, make sure we're safe. Go. So are all the black people to speak Spanish here? I have it. I have it. More of it. It's just. That's how I feel. Like, what did you take away from Miami? It's hot. And every black guy speaks Spanish. Like they're not black. Like, that's a black guy. Dude, don't tell me. I don't care what you say. He's from Dr. Shut up. Dude. That's a black guy that speaks Spanish. That's why I say like Dominicans, Puerto Rico. I mean, black guys that speak Spanish trips me out, dude. They sound like my dad, my grandpa speak in Spanish. I'm like Dan Kobe over there speaking baseball. Baseball. Black. That's where you start saying baseball. You mean Cuban? Yeah, yeah, I do mean Cuban. But there's hella light skinned Cubans too. Don't nitpick. I'm just talking terrible things. It was super fun. Sets went great. I had a. I had a great time. I like, I told you, I finally had fun. Like, not stressed enough. Forget my words. The last set I went up there, I was like, just have fun. And I had the most fun I've ever had on stage. And we. It was the most comfortable I've ever been. It was super fun. I was soaking in it. In. They keep talking over the laughs and I'm like, let it go, let it go. And I was waiting for this lap and then I started. Oh man, I had the most fun. Yeah, super sick. I'm very excited. Another thing about Arizona, when I was going around Tempe and Phoenix for. For those of you that have ever been there, you're like, where are the homeless people? They don't really have a lot of. And then you just look at the sides of buildings. Like in the cut. They're in the sides of. In the shadows. Because these fools. Could you imagine smoke some. Smoke some something. And I pass out and I wake up cooked to the ground. Could you imagine waking up and you have third degree burns on just one side of your body. You get up and your skin goose. Oh, no lie, dude. It was so violent. I mean, Merced's hot. It gets. It's gotten 120something. I remember one summer, it's a different kind of hot in Arizona. And that's why I talked about it on stage. I'm like, yo, that's why all the gang bangers out here look pissed. Because gang bangers here in LA can at least go meditate by the beach after and. And by the sand and do the. You know, I mean, they have fun out there in Arizona. Like, dude, let's go back in the house. It's. I'm dying. You can't protect your block if you're having heat stroke. Outside, these fools are still down. They're still wearing the same dude. It's just 40 degrees hotter for them. So that's the one thing about Arizona I noticed. The. How are they white homeless? You should be crispy brown. I saw some white homeless. How. How is your pigment allowing you to live out there?

[B]

It's peak white right there.

[A]

That's a. That's an apocalypse white. Somebody that can survive off oil and like soda cans.

[B]

And I'd be finished.

[A]

I'm trying to die. One leathery, just straight die. Marty's 80 tomorrow. Losing Arizona for three weeks.

[B]

One big blister.

[A]

It's like Bob Barker next week.

[B]

Dehydrated. It's over.

[A]

That'd be sick.

[B]

I just realized this light's been beaming on me. Too late.

[A]

That should cover this light. And Marty went, oh, my God, I can see. Yeah, we have beaming ass stage lights and we need them. But sometimes if you do this. Oh, it hurts. That's why you ever see me with a guest? For the first eight minutes, I'm just pouring sweat because I'm talking to somebody and there's lights everywhere. And these headphones, like, keep the heat in. I don't know what it is about this material, but it's like I just start sweating my ass off. So, Arizona, what's up? I liked it. Tempe Improv was very, very, very fun. Super sick. A lot of fans. Somebody came up and had a shirt. The very first shirt I ever made before Push Trees. That was very cool. Soup. And he had it still. It was wearing. It was incredible. The only reason I don't bring it back is now I know DJ Pooh. And I don't want to be like, hey, dog, you can't just reuse my characters. Sorry, it's a Friday shirt. It's the first shirt ever made. Okay. Yeah, I don't know how the homeless don't just hot homeless that's what we have. Hot homeless in Arizona.

[B]

Hash browns.

[A]

I like that. Hash Brown was also a good name for a dab show with Mino G. Yes. Speaking of, let me smoke one of these joints.

[B]

Does OG know how to dub? Thank you.

[A]

I got him to take it. What do you mean? Yeah, of course. Oh, I had him at my house taking a dab off the new rig. He actually ripped it.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah, it was really funny to watch.

[B]

He wasn't overcome by fear?

[A]

No, usually he is.

[B]

Distractions and excuses.

[A]

Usually he is, man. He really, like. Seriously, it's usually.

[B]

He smoked pretty good last time he was here too.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I think I remember something like, you were disappointed him.

[A]

Yeah, right. Didn't I say something? I don't remember. OG does the same thing so much that I don't remember if it was this time or that time or that time.

[B]

This time. It's one big episode.

[A]

Yeah. His life is one big episode. If they gave him a show, when.

[B]

Does this movie come out? Or a show or whatever.

[A]

I don't know. He'll never tell us.

[B]

It's probably out that bastard for sure for.

[A]

You know what? I'm gonna bug him. You're probably completely right. Oh, God.

[B]

There's a TV show OG just out right now. We don't know it.

[A]

Miami, it's too hot out here for you not to have ice. Where's. I said, how come they're only in California? Oh, because they think everybody's black. Hey, man, those aren't black guys that speak Spanish. Wait till then. Wait for them to talk. And then you'd be like, oh, I got it. Was it a buffet for the ice out there? What kind of nationality do I want to ruin today? Who do I want to hate me today? Incredible. Okay. Oh, also shout to everybody in Denver. So I. For. You know what? I really don't think about it. A lot of people watch my. A lot of people know, like, I get it. I've never once thought about, like, oh, you know what? Bam. But a lot of people walk up to me. People walk up to me everywhere I fucking go. I get it. They watch my. That's cool. I don't really think about, like, the other aspect. Like, if I'm a fan and I'm like, at a farmer's market and I walk inside a store, I'm like, yo, why are you in here? So I went to my friend's store shout. It was a green. Green goddess. Green lady goddess. I think my homie's plant store right there in the arts district in Denver. They had a first Friday they call. It's like a huge festival. They shut down like three streets. I met so many fans and the funniest reactions every time. Why are you here? I was at like a like a farmer's market, but an all day art fest farmers market like inside this plant store. And people were walking like what is happening? Because I was in the back kind of like just doing stupid.

[B]

It'd be like me bumping into professor at a.

[A]

What.

[B]

Why grocery stores?

[A]

But I get it though. I get like when I was a kid, I met Titus at I Albertson's grocery store. I'm like, what are you doing in my town? This is crazy. I get it. It's like, what are the odds? So when I met shout out to everybody. When I met everybody, like just going boots. I wish I'd buy stuff like that. It was really wild to see how many fans there really are in the earth. Especially in Denver, just at some spot. It was cool. It was very cool. But I really don't think about it like that.

[B]

And it's a little traveling. I do. I hit the Chicago airport. Fools coming up to me. I'm. I'm down in San Diego shooting the Lawrence brothers. Fools coming up to me. What the is up? We appreciate you guys.

[A]

So crazy, dude. I don't think about it often, but when I really think about it, it's like 99% of anywhere I go in. I'm like, oh, what's up man? Thanks for watching. It's a trip to think about that. All walks of life, how many people come up to us randomly. Shocking.

[B]

It's a lot of laughs. How many good moments in people's lives.

[A]

Everybody's always stoked too. Roll joint. Yes. I love it. It's roll joint. Podcast or story time. It's the first three. Always. Always, Constantly, Constantly. So cool. Really fun. And then I found a. The YouTuber. Remember I talked about. I don't talk about. I found a YouTuber named Luna, right? He tells stories. This fool will tell a story with gameplay. Kind of like Goblin he's monetized. Why don't I use my YOLA clips channel as a story time channel? I don't smoke weed in it. It's a voice me talking about it. Each. Some of my story times have five stories in each episode. That's five different monetized posts. What if I could take over that little lane?

[B]

Do VR footage of you just mercant fools or something? Just gaming.

[A]

Or have Rocco play certain games that don't have a lot of blood. Give me the gameplay.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

I have Henry edit that with my voice. Hey, what's up guys? Dov Zula here. But on the storytime channel today, I'm gonna tell you about the first time I ever tried ecstasy. And if you want to see this, I'll be at the improv while talking about it. Yo, a lot of people that came up in improv, like it's like story time. And my favorite thing was saying like, but with legs. Because you've never seen my legs ever online. It's like a story time with legs on that crazy. Like you move a lot. I go for. I'm very, I'm very animated in life when I'm talking. So it's more fun to be. I'm like, it's, it's, it's. I'm not sweating my ass off on stage anymore.

[B]

I'm trying to picture it not be scary. But I mean I could see. But I'm just so far from the.

[A]

Think it was nerves.

[B]

Yeah, of course.

[A]

Because I'm not sweating at all the last time because I have a part like I'm sweating harder than now and I can't use it no more because I wasn't sweating this whole weekend because at one point I'm sweating harder than right now. Yeah, but dude, it's fun. It's fun. The last. I'm excited. Shout to everybody watching. So that's what I think I'm gonna do with the other, the other channel. I think it'd be very cool. What do you guys think? Because I have a. It's called YOLA Underscore clips. It was the adventures of YOLA channel but I didn't like splitting my world. So YOLA Underscore Clips channel. I think I could turn that into like a story time style. I mean monetized pay for the running from channel. Maybe running from the cops. I have five, seven of those. Give me one and I could do a 10 to 12, 15 minute episode of just speaking. No smoking. This has, has ruined so many opportunities. But at the same time I don't care because it's what I like to do. And that's why, you know what I mean? Like it is what it is.

[B]

That's what happens to pioneers of so.

[A]

It is what it is. Yeah, but you know, be cool to have like my 5 million on Instagram. That'd be sick. Like sell out all our drops constantly. Always I just post it. Supposed to be gone. Just 35 million people. Yeah. Now it's like, damn, dude. I'm trying to keep my 250 without getting it in trouble, but we good. Guys, I just wanted to say I think that's what I'm gonna do with the other channel. I found that guy's channel on live. I took a look at Blue and I go, who's. And I'm looking like, oh, this fool's talking to stories. So there. That's what I'm gonna try to do with that of the channel. And I can do 10 of those a week.

[B]

Try to pick a game that matches the story.

[A]

Maybe that too. I don't know. Just give me some gameplay.

[B]

Doesn't matter.

[A]

Yeah, give me gameplay. It's all. Not people getting stabbed and shot like video games. YouTube probably won't flag me. Oh, my God. And you have to use your real voice. Starting July 15th, you can't do voice AI voices no more.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Or you can't be monetized. Yeah, effort. It said low effort videos would no longer be monetized. What constitutes low effort?

[B]

I saw that. They're gonna stop, like hammering down on like the swear words on that early.

[A]

The first seven seconds.

[B]

Some. Who knows, you know, shout out to Spotify. Shout out to everybody on Spotify.

[A]

Spotify, man.

[B]

If you're on Spotify, shout out to you too. But extra shouts out to everybody on Spotify.

[A]

Are you guys ready? I have a little story. I know you've probably heard it. Marty said he didn't hear it. So I'm just going to talk about it. Because we talked about deli. We watched a clip on Unrestricted Shout out to everybody. Unrestricted of these fools beating the out of some delivery driver and they steal his car, they stomp him out. It's sad. And he's like, you ever gone through stuff like that? Neighborhoods you can't go to? And Marty said, well, you couldn't deliver pizza where I lived at in Buffalo. They wouldn't. They wouldn't take the delivery because it's ghetto as hell. And then for me, no Mercedes ghetto. But it's not like we're gonna know someone's mom. Mexican fools are different. Like they don't want their grandma knowing what's going on. Like, you know, okay, it's. I don't know. Unless you're twacked or you're gang banging heavy. I don't know. I feel like in smaller towns it's more like that's so and so's kid.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, totally.

[A]

100, you know, it's different.

[B]

It's harder.

[A]

I feel like in bigger towns, bigger cities like Buffalo, like, it's easier. What neighborhoods are you from? I've never seen that full before. See him again. Like you're gonna see somebody again in her step. Just go to the store. There's only four store. You know what I mean? Like you're gonna run across these people again. So I was delivering pizza and oddly enough, my uncle Carlos now owns these apartments house as his first investment property. Yeah, my uncle bought all the apartments I'm about to talk about. So across street from Rivera. This is like low income apartments are one story single. They're not town homes, they're single stories. You walk up to the fence from the little. Here's the street, a little patch of grass. An apartment complex, but only like seven units. There were like houses on a ha. Like as big as a house. But they're split up in twos or threes.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Not townhomes. They're not shared. They're their own domiciles. Your own door.

[B]

Shared wall is what you're.

[A]

You have a shared wall, but you're not like. It's like an apartment. You share wall.

[B]

Gotcha. Okay.

[A]

But it's only three apartments. But not high. They're one story. Yeah, townhouse I thought was two. That's the only reason to say townhouse. Anyway, there's like three skips a gap. There's two skips a gap. Three, two. There's like eight at most 10. So my boss at the time says, hey, at the time, dude, in Merced, there was a bunch of pizza people getting robbed at gunpoint. At gunpoint, getting all this. I was selling packs, I was selling zips out my car. I had to be very cautious. Like, what if somebody comes up on the pizza guy? Go, what's in your trunk? Like, oh, no, you got all my. So I was very like, aware like of my surroundings. And plus I'm aware of my surroundings already. My dad, my mom, everybody taught me. I've watched Goodfellas too many times. Karen almost got killed. She's lucky she didn't go in that dress shop. I think about that everywhere I go. I'm very, very, very cautious.

[B]

You should make a Karen almost got killed shirt.

[A]

Karen almost got killed. And then a bunch of ladies are like, what do you mean the Karen? Like, no, not the Karen. Karen Hill. You know what? You, hey, go in that dress shop right there. So I was like, oh, damn. He's like, be very aware. You're going to carry up to 20 in change. We tell everybody on the, on the phone we do not have more than $20, blah, blah. I was like, dude, I'm not gonna get robbed. I'm very aware of what I'm doing. So I take this order, I get this order for one single pizza. And people do that all the time because people aren't that fat all the time. I was like, all right, one single pizza right across street from Rivera. No coupon used. We have coupons and deals. They didn't want to use the deal. They got this. That's not very high income. You figure you'd be smarter with your money. First thing I think of, I'm. I'm a detective with this. I'm like, you know what, let me check. I'll take it. I'm pulling up, I don't see much. I see some people, like some dudes outside of a door. I'm driving up, and as they get closer, I'm like, oh, there's some hood ass. They're like some Mexicans like, oh, you just got out. Blood black, like a black dude. A couple dirty ass white dudes, like grimy prison fools with the prison tasks, like their dog. And some fat Mexican and a skinny Mexican, but the skinny Mexican tats all over his neck. And the fat Mexican was like, like Rosie's dad's size. A big, pretty big fool. Like, he was a big man. He was a grown man. All these guys were under 30. You could tell they were grown. They weren't kids, but they weren't mature. Like, you could see it on their face. But they're like, gotta pray. Like they're gang banging ass fools. I pull up like, oh. I'm like, thank God the address is one two apartment doors down or one apartment door down. So there's. This is the lawn. And, you know, so I get out walk as I'm like, all right, where should I start looking at these guys and go, hello? And then look away like, how far should I be? I don't want to look at them. Right When I get out of the car before the lawns, that's gonna be an awkward walk. Walk. And I want to detect, are they. Are they. Are they mad? Are they like, what's going on? I start walking, I hit the grass, and I look over and they're all looking at me. I go, oh. Like, damn, all you, all you looking at me. So I went like this. I kept walk. My Uncle John's face. It's a face you do all the time. I did that one and I walked up to the door and I'm like, oh, they're staring at me. Damn. Like 12ft away, you know, like, here's the door, here's the apartment. Then the next door, pretty far, I'll see him walk up. I'm standing there. I knock. Pizza bag, sweat my ass off. I got my shirt tucked in, cuz I have to. I'm like, hello. And then you know, apartments. Here's the door. Two inches to the left is the window seal lines. I go. And then on my third knock, I'm about to look, and I go. I look at hello. And as I look at. Like there's not a piece of furniture in this place. And I go to knock again. Just does not look like I'm scared. I'm like, these guys called. I was like, oh God. These guys called. And I went to knock again. And as I knock again, one of the guys. I don't think. I don't think anybody's there, man. They. They always. Oh, no, no, sorry. That was. That was Jerry. Sorry. I'm getting mixed up with my gang bangers and neck tats. I knock. And as I knock on my. There's nobody lives here because I. I looked in with. There's no furniture. One blind was missing. I could see straight in. The window was open. There was just a screen. No one lives here. And I go. And I look back, and when I look back, these fools are starting to walk. Here's the lawn. I'm at the door, the guys are here. They start to do like a little U.1 walks the sidewalk. And they're like not blocking me, but they're blocking me. The only way out is my left. They're on my right now. They have circled around, but like 10ft away, like a dance battle. I look back like, yo, what's up? And another guy starts walking up to me. Oh no, you look pissed. Like, what's up, guys? And they start walking. I'm like, oh. And my car's behind two people. They have not blocked my car. I have to go around them this way to get to my car. I'm like, damn, I'm gonna get jumped. I was like, damn. I don't think I've ever been. Well, yeah, I have, but not like where I'm scared. Like I never went. Like, I'll take one or two. These are grown giant. Not all of them are big, but they're like the monstars. There's a little one, there's a tall one.

[B]

So the fat ones, they're all shitty.

[A]

They're all shitty. And I'm looking, I'm like, oh, no. I see two dudes. Stay there. 1, 2, 3, 4. And there's nobody behind me. I made sure not to have anything behind me. And then here's the wall that I was just knocking. I look at him like, what's up, guys? And I start walking sideways. What's going on? I start walking like I know what's going on. And then they all start coming close and like, oh, and everyone. What's up? Like, no. I was like, what's up? And I look over toward the door where all these. There's more people. And I just see him. My homie Jerry, I went to. I played football with. I have a picture of gang banger ass Jerry in a. Like, a short shirt. We were having a water balloon fight, and he filled up water balloons and put them under his shirt, and he was acting like a chick. I have those pictures, and he knows I got those pictures. He knows it was fun as a kid, but now that he's a gang banger, I got those pictures and in my head I'm like, don't know. Are you Jerry? Are you with these? It's all like, no way. You too? It's already happened. Almost got jumped by the person I grew up with. He just let it happen. But I remember, I see him and Jerry. And Jerry goes, thomas, what's up? Like, what's up, Jerry? And these fools are all looking at us. I'm like, what's up, Jerry? He's like, what's up, man? How you doing? Come here, come here, come here, come here. And he walks past and like, through the two dudes. Come here, come here, come here. He walks up to me, puts army. He looks at his guys. He's, what's up, fool? These people, man, they're never. Nobody even lives there. They keep calling. Hella people, keep showing up. He's just go. He's walking me across. I'm like, how you been, man? It's been forever. In my head, I'm like, I know what you're doing. And he's. I can see him doing this. Put his arm down. He's just walking with me. He's doing that. Like, chill out. And he's walking. We get to the sidewalk, he's like, man, I wouldn't even stay away from. These fools are crazy. Just go back to work. I'm like, good to see you, fool. And I get in the car and take off. And I'm like, oh, no. And as I'm hitting the corner, I look back and they're all looking at me. And I can see Jerry talking to him in a circle. Thank you. Thank God. Five more seconds. I was on the ground. Like, they were, like, five feet away. And I was like, oh, no. Which one is gonna try? I would have been like, guys, take it. I work here. I don't care. Here's the money.

[B]

That moment where they had him in the bathtub, and he's like, there was a girl in the park.

[A]

Yep. Jerry was the girl in the park. I saved her. Two crackheads attacked her. We're gonna get to the bottom. That was Jerry. Like, hey, come on, man. I remember he was like, these guys are crazy. The way he said. I was like, oh, bro, thank you. I could tell it was like, jerry, you're the little ringleader here, huh? Because he could be Jericho fight. That's all I remember. Jerry could really fight. And I was like, 19 or 18. He was always. He was two years older than me. And I remember, dude, remember I told you the story when I went back to Merced and this car pulls up with nobody driving like old Cadillac. And some fool sits up. So fool. And it was Jerry fully tatted. Fully. I hadn't seen, like, three. I'm like, what's up? Like, damn. You're far back, so, you know, I couldn't see you, dude. These are my kids. Like, three kids in the back. It's like, dude, it's been forever. Last time I ever saw him. Yeah, but he saved my life, dude. Saved my life. And the time before that. The time right before I saw him right there. So look it. We play football together. We're friends. Came to my football. I mean, my birthday parties were chill. He'd hang out. He'd come over all the time. We were my friend. And I'd seen him for, like, two years. And when I saw him, I was like, damn, fool, your pants are crazy, Priest. Oh, man. I like, damn you. You went, huh? You're gambanger.

[B]

It's like when a butterfly turns, you know. Caterpillar.

[A]

Yeah, dude. Turns into a rag. Little. Little red rag is form.

[B]

The socks go up, socks go over the.

[A]

And the caterpillar just emerges. Exactly what happened. And I looked in, like, damn, dude. I saw him walk. I'm like, jerry, what's up? I was. I was right across the street at McDonald's, right at the parking lot across street from Merced High, looking at the school. To the right is Albertsons and Save Mar. To the left is the rest of the town. I remember Jerry walking across the street. He had a. He Had a red, I think red. Damn. I can't remember. It was red or blue now. Woo. I don't remember. No, no, no, he was in red because he said, I just fought a scrap. He was in red checker. I can't remember. He was a red checker. He comes, he was coming across, shaved head. And I'm like, damn. We put on hell away. You're big as hell. He was big Mexican kid. He's coming across, he has a rag over his hand. I'm like, what the are you doing? What's up? He's like, yo, he asked me a question about somebody. I'm like, I don't know. He goes, get out of here. Just beat the shit out of some scrap under the bridge. What? And his was busted wide open, but knuckles pushed back. Iron was like, you're good. Your knuckles are purple. Pushback, splits, all split. He's like, this was laying out that my word.

[B]

Night.

[A]

I'm a ninth grade. You were just playing football with me two years ago, man. What happened? That's all I thought like you just had fake balloon tits two years ago, dude. And the way he was doing it was so funny, dude. It's like we were just having a water balloon fight at my house. What happened to you? And that was it. It's the last time I ever saw him was in the car.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

I guarantee I'm gonna see him soon. This kid's gonna be 14 or something. I'm telling you, dude, it's a trip growing up. I, I. What I'm trying to say is the story, moral, story is sometimes game bears can be cool, you know, they remember you.

[B]

Yeah, that's true.

[A]

Hey man, I grew up with that kid. He said I was imagining, like, how am I gonna cover up? Should I run or should I just ball? I remember I was thinking all of like, damn, there's like six fools. I was not scared. Six people scared. Like these are grown. You know when you're young, you're like, dan, these fools are crawling. He's got tattoos. They're gonna beat my. That's what you think as a kid. Even though you might be able to beat the out of them. I was just like, damn, these fools are grown. They got tattoos, they're gang banging. Oh, but yeah, that was that story sounds horrible.

[B]

But this was. Go ahead and check out Unrestricted. We reacted to how this could have gone. You wanted to describe the scene in the clip.

[A]

40 animals eating the out of some random man that might have said some who aren't even humans.

[B]

The whole neighborhood jumped us.

[A]

Whole neighborhood. And they're revving dirt by it. Like it's like a. Where Batman jumps in and saves the day. Like, they're rapping dirt bikes and stealing and like, dude, what is this? It's like a. It's like a scene. It's a scene from the newest Batman. Like, he goes, Batman urban. Yeah, we'll go to the interstate. Some ban robbers. Uhhuh. It's international business. Go stop the gang bangers, like in Men in Black when they shoot the Jamaican guys. Those are gangsters. The Haitian dudes, when they had that shootout, supposed had machine guns in my. In Miami. Amen.

[B]

Oh, no, man. Not to mention you got Dexter lurking around.

[A]

Is that where it's from? No, I don't watch Dexter. I don't like intros of cutting eggs. Disgusting. You skip cook that egg. Cook it. Why is it runny?

[B]

A runny egg is disgusting.

[A]

When I see people dip stuff in runny egg.

[B]

How? How?

[A]

It's not nasty.

[B]

I mean, if you really think about, like, what ranches and like that, but still, it's a egg. You don't dip in it.

[A]

Ellie eggs. Ellie eggs. Any male eggs? No. Remember smelly eggs? Ellie eggs. I'm not saying it weird. Ellie eggs. You wouldn't say smelly. Ellie eggs. No. Any Milanas?

[B]

I got a breakfast burrito from a Mexican restaurant one time. It gave me food poisoning. I'm like, I'll never eat eggs from a restaurant. Like, very picky. Really pretty picky.

[A]

I didn't know that.

[B]

Yeah, it was horrible. It's highly embarrassing.

[A]

It wasn't even the egg. It was just the place you went. It's just dirty.

[B]

It was like. It was a dirty little, like, Mexican, like.

[A]

Oh, they call the when they're. When they're bad food truck. It's called a roach coach.

[B]

Never again. Never in the. Again.

[A]

Yeah, I didn't eat taco trucks. I was like 20, and I had a string of about two years where I went hard. The best one in Merced, I think, is the burrito spot right there across the street from In N Out Burger. A little Mexican food truck right there by the barbecue spot, or used to be the barbecue spot. In that exact parking spot is where I made up the homies for life design right there. It was a. Remember I told you guys. But it was a spite lrg. Back when I was mad at them, I saw a piece of their new collection. I saw like, they showed a sliver of a design, and it was like a cartoon. I went I'm gonna make a cartoon even better and put it out first. That's when they put hustle trees. I was like, nah.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I was. I went to that barbecue spot and I was in the parking lot just pissed. I hit a page. Do this. That, like coming. Let's go to the movies. Go to get the snack bar that style. That's why the homies fly for. Let's go to the snack bar from the old movies. It's the vibe that's. I mean, that's what I based it off of. Let's go. The refreshments. Cartoons from Greece.

[B]

I don't know anything.

[A]

Okay. So this is the only thing for push trees. Out of 90 out of 100 designs, I made up 98 in my head. The roach one, where it's a blunt roach and it looks like an actual roach with legs, is the. One of my favorite designs. And I didn't think of that. And I know it's not like, it's like a pride thing. It's like, damn, one of my favorite ones. I didn't even. It wasn't even from my brain. It's our brand, you know? I mean, like, I'm so happy about it, but I'm also like, I'm envious that I didn't think of that first, is what I mean. Like, come on, I could have came back. So the reason I'm saying that is we have new dopa stuff, new dopest tears, new dopest packaging, and our best strain we've ever, ever, ever has, not from our farm. So it's like, oh, good that we have fire. But also like, oh, damn it, dude.

[A]

I know, but it's like, you're better than us. Like, damn. I thought we. Yes, Your wheat is better than. Yes, I'll take it. I like it. That's how I feel. Like, almost. But the news, the new.

[B]

But what is it?

[A]

It's called Nerds. It's probably the best. The best stream we've ever dropped.

[B]

Interesting.

[A]

Yeah, but the doubles. We dropped a bunch of new stuff, guys. So check it out. It's pretty sick. A lot of new stuff. Ice, hash, everything.

[B]

Are people loving that it sells out so fast?

[A]

It's probably gone now. Dropped it last night. Fast. It's gone. It's good. It's really good. It's melting. It's. It's hash. So here we go.

There's only 420. That's what I'm gonna drop on 420. There's only 420. No, I. I'll show, like, give you a picture if you want to overlay it or something. But there's 420. They're numbered.

Did you consider just signing the case?

[A]

No, I put it right here. So you could sign this right there at the bottom.

That you can keep. You always have it. And you can roll on it. All right, that's dropping. It's only 420, guys. 420 total. That's it.

[B]

Did you have the thing growing up where it was disrespectful to roll up on somebody's CD?

[A]

No. You always rolled on CDs.

[B]

That's what I'm like kind of thought about.

[A]

I mean, what else do you have that Everybody has universally CDs?

[B]

If I got your right here, that means I'm listening to it. But if you're rolling up weird on somebody's, then that was like a highly disrespectful.

I completely forgot. I didn't even tell anybody. I just posted when I was there. I went to Denver last weekend. I think it was last weekend. I went to Denver a weekend ago, like I said, for the art fair thing. I stopped by a place called Tetra Lounge. And it's the only lounge that you can smoke at in Denver, I believe. Or the first one. The first one. Very cool. I'm surprised it wasn't packed. It was sick, dude. It was an outside area to go smoke. You can smoke inside. They have a little snack bar thing. It was exactly what you want in a lounge. It was perfect. I. I wouldn't go anywhere else, honestly. I mean that I. That I've seen. I've only seen that one. But Tetra Lounge was sick. Thanks for having us, dude. It was very cool.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

Super cool. Shout out to Puffco too. I was at Tetra Lounge. I clicked my Puffco and the chamber broke. It just took a on me. I'm like, no, what happened? It's not working. So I text James from Puffco and this full set, real life tech support and was like, where are you in the world right now? I go, I'm in Denver. And he goes, okay, I can have someone to you in an hour. Like, what do you mean? He goes, I have a rep everywhere and I'll get them to bring. Bring you a new chamber. And then I went back. I went there during the. The. The. The. The food. I mean the food. The food. The fair. The street fair was like eight hours long. So at like hour three, my homie was busy. His plant shop was popping. I'm like, oh, so let me do this. I'm gonna walk around. After I walked around, like, let's shout out to Trey from Blazey Susan. Trey, Blaze Susan. So let's go to the Tetra Lounge. So we just drove over there. We're chilled for like an hour or two.

[B]

And.

[A]

While we were there, that's when my Puffco broke. So when we said hey, let's go back to the lounge. I mean, let's go back to the street fair. The guy's like, hey, text tech support says he can be there an hour because he's out of street fair. Stuck right now. I'm like, what? Where's he at? We got. And then Trey from places, he was like, don't worry, man, I got it. He called a guy, I was like, hey, I need a chamber. It was the same person. Oh, they were calling the same person. And we met up with him outside my friend's shop because he happened to be right there eating. And we walked up back and was, oh, thanks for the chambers. And he gave me ash. Come on, man. Shout out to Scott from Puffco, dude. Real life tech support in an hour. Oh, I was like, dude, don't you have to do that? Go buy one. He goes, no broke. Get you one. All right. What are you gonna do? He goes, I have somebody there tonight. What? Anyway, that was very cool. And the next day, guys, I went to my first Rockies game. Went to the, to the baseball game so high. That's it.

[B]

Was it boring?

[A]

No, it was cool. I was just so high. One inning. They scored six runs. It was so exciting. It was epic. We like, you know, let's leave. Hotel was right down the street. I was like, let's leave like 10 minutes before the game's over just to beat the traffic. We walked out, got our Uber and it thunderstormed the second we got, I mean, full fill up cups kind of thunderstorm like, you know what I mean? Like you can fill up an inflatable pool with that water. It was incredible. And that was it. We had the best time. It was great. I went to Denver Biscuit company Shout out to Denver Biscuit Company. That place is awesome. I don't know what else that was. It never Biscy company sounds like my kind of spot. I gotta go back out there soon for, for some, some stuff too. Anyway, sorry, I just want to mention we're in Denver. Shout out to your city. It was epic. I love Denver. It's very cool. Hash is fire and it's so cheap.

[B]

Speaking of which, and speaking of Puffco, shout out to everybody at HQ that we met. We just went down and toured and got belligerently, disgustingly high off. I did get really, really episode unrestricted up here after. Yeah.

[B]

I was shocked.

[A]

Buffalo has a new thing coming out and honestly, I understand why so many people make E rigs. I get it. Because they see a put and they're like, oh, wow, we can make our own. I'm. How do you make something better? I get it. Like, I love. I love the focus. The focus is cool. I still have one. That Dr. Dabber two switch. Two rips too big that's easier to carry. I put that in my pocket. Doctor in my pocket. I did. All right. I have the Puffco app. You can edit. I'm not trying to sit here and just do an ad. That's not what I'm doing. It blew my mind. You can did. You can edit. There's a color wheel. You can edit every color and mood. Like, I'm smoking ice hash. Click the ice hash button. It goes to that temp. It's shocking, dude. I don't understand how I didn't know. They have one where you hit it and the more you hit it, the color pulsates harder the harder you hit it. And it goes back, though, when you let go. Basically all the high stuff that you want to stare at. Like a lava lamp. That's what this is now. I didn't realize. So anyway, yeah. Shout out to everybody at the HQ that was very sick. We were there and they were having a ping pong tournament. The finals. And one guy had a desk of toys and made a diagram of toys and a big forest where you can drive like Jurassic Park. It's what you imagine like in grandma's boy work environment being. Remember how they're all hanging out after video game. They. Dude. It felt. That was a cool place to work. That's all I know. That'd be a very fun place to work. Oh. You ever see people, like get in car accidents and the recovery times? Eight months. You're like, what how you broke your leg? That my knee still hurts from Amsterdam.

[B]

Getting that bike bike incident.

[A]

I woke up yesterday. I went, oh. And thought I can't imagine falling and breaking a Travis Pastrana has the most willpower to fly. Crack bones and go. I'll be back. Like, don't done. I'm over that. What are you saying? That hurt? My knee still hurts. So seeing fools like my shoulder. T.J. dillash knee surgeries. Like, for real.

[B]

I dislocated my shoulder and kept fighting.

[A]

Oh, dude. That's why I drive. Like, I'm driving cars. Like, don't mess up. None of us want to get hurt. We will get hurt.

[B]

That one little vertebrae pops out. You're.

[A]

I'll let you know. Three millimeters of a vertebrae. Of a disc popping out can be your life. So don't be that, all right? Stop getting on World's dumbest. Stop being on compilations of Fail Army. Just be safe is what I'm trying to say. Besides that, I want to talk about something. Can I see your hot knife, please?

[B]

You got some exclusive.

[A]

No, it's the old one. It's Rosie's.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I thought you had a cool color.

[A]

I mean, it's a sick color. Yeah, but, Mary, mine broke.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I think I used mine so hard, it just broke.

[B]

You put some miles on that thing. I know you need, like, the industrial strength one. We make this one for, you know, companies.

[A]

This one's for addicts. Just like. You kidding me? Okay, here you go.

[B]

They should put a leaderboard, like the Dab score.

[A]

Wow, that'd be funny. Sick. Guys, real quick. I said this on the unrestricted, and I'm gonna say it here, too. I didn't realize it because I don't pay attention. Until recently, I didn't know who J.D. vance was. He's our vice president. And Marty went, of the United States. Like, yeah, the United States. He goes, if he's the vice president, he goes, of the United States. Yeah, yeah, the United States. I see a lot of memes of people putting some rosy cheeks guy on, like, a bunch of different characters. I'm like, who is this guy? Why do they keep making fun of him? He's our vice president. I'm an educated person in the Times, right? I don't. I don't pay attention. I need to start more. Just so I know to get away from me, not because I care. That guy JD Van. That's.

[B]

That's our vice JD Vance.

[A]

Couldn't sound more like Jack Vance. He says, and a bank and a banker. Or just J.D.

[B]

Vance. Yeah, bank. I bank at J.D. vance.

[A]

Yep. For real. It sounds like. Like a bank. I didn't know who he was. I had no idea. Right. Until about two months ago. I'll pay attention. I don't know exactly me Canyon. Exactly. So I didn't know who he was. Right. That fool was on Theo Vaughn's podcast a while back. He was on a bunch of other podcasts, too. Then I look at Rogan's and I'm like, wait, you've had hella politicians on.

[B]

It's a political show.

[A]

And then I look at flagrant. They have hella politicians on. And then Nelk boys had the Prime Minister of Israel on.

[B]

Jesus Christ. That's some. You don't Want to get wrapped up in.

[A]

Facts? Facts, bro. What are they gonna say to this guy? Dude. Yeah. I own the most crazy military. Like, oh, dogs. You got, like, guns and what's your favorite gun? See on Call of Duty, like, this is my favorite. That's how that's gonna go. Okay, real quick. That's like us having the prime minister of anything.

[B]

We are not qualified for those conversations.

[A]

Qualified at all. I get that they have a reach. So look at. This is what I'm trying to say. We said in the. Understood. Just a shout out to you guys. I promise we will never, ever, ever have a politician on this show unless I'm allowed to be a dumbass. Unless I'm allowed to ask what I want, say what I want. On our show. We will never have a politician on you if we don't pull a Wayne interviewing Noah's Arcade from Wayne's World. This guy has no penis with the cards. What do you say about this? No penis. If we can't do that, I don't care. I'll hold some cards. Marty, do you want to ask this one? It just says douchebag on this was.

[B]

Like.

[A]

My first question is, where did your childhood die and you became an adult? That's a good politician question, right? It's like the end of Mr. Deeds. I wanted to be a veterinarian. What do you do now? I own the largest chain of slaughterhouses in Texas when. When Adam Sandler's trying to stop the company from being bought. That's what I'm talking about. Where did you stop being a human child and went like, let me just. Let me just be an adult, dude. Let me. Let me hold her. Let me hold her higher. Murder. Let me. Let me order a murder. Like, something. When did it happen, dude? Because I can't see it happening. We will never have a politician on here unless his name is Tommy G. You know, in a couple years. We'll never have a politician on unless the politician is the. We're like, yo, this fool is. Please, come on. You're changing our state. You're the man. You're the lady. You're the man or you're the shit lady? What's the. You're the man. For a guy, you're the man. What's that? For a girl or for a girl? What's the. You're the man for a girl. Also. What's. Damn. That's crazy. To a deaf person. What do you say to a deaf person that says will not stop? What am I supposed to do, dude? But Also, what's the. You're the man. Says a girl. You're almost a man. Like, I don't know. What are you supposed to say?

[B]

It's a good point.

[A]

Yeah, right? Also, yeah, we'll never have a politician on here. I see a lot of comedy podcasts that are having non funny people on. That's all. That's fine.

[B]

Hector was even pretty funny.

[A]

Hector was funny. He's the bloodiest prison in California. Was within 10 seconds. Yeah, that was funny.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

He was. He was on it. Everybody speaks at 16. Like, oh, my God. Damn. Yeah, there's a lot of quotes from there. You don't like what I drink. You see how much coke I do like? Oh, I just see him in. In Rambo, paint with a knife. Oh, I'm telling you, they started it.

[B]

I saw so many comments of Hugh Smiley from Training Day. The. The old. I mean, you got that?

[A]

We're going to find out right now. Likes to trip, huh? With a shotgun on his shoulder.

[B]

Oh, in your trunk, E.

[A]

Stay out of jail, guys. I. We will never have that. And I also said if we do have a politician on and we're giving them softball questions. I'll give you the.

[B]

Yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna.

[A]

I'm trying to stay alive. They told me they would kill me. That's my.

[B]

Because we decided there has to be. Some of these podcasters got guns there.

[A]

There has to be. They're doing some shiesty and they're like, yo, we know what you've been doing.

[B]

Oh, yeah, there is that too.

[A]

Oh, something's going. I'm not saying all. All podcasts that I just mentioned are weird, but the fact they're having politicians on. These comedians aren't just rapid fire joking, talking. Come on. No one would ever go on Bill Burr's podcast. None of them would ever go on his podcast. But yeah, just. I've noticed it. I've seen a lot of people talking about lately and I've always said it and I always said, why do you have them on? Why do you have a politician on? It's very odd to me. Unless, like a Rogan has always had that on. He's always had political figures, scientists, fools that do crazy. Bernie Sanders, he had on years ago.

[B]

That's true.

[A]

Like, I get that Rogan is that realm. He's the realm of. I wake up, I read the news, I drink coffee, I know what my diet is. That's the person that watches Rogan all the time. You know, a grown man, that's who watches Rogan. Grown men, you don't have to be grown to listen to us talk about here. But also, it'd be cool to learn I didn't do good in school. Maybe we just use this as me. Like, today we have a mathematician who's going to show us how long divide, Guys, because I don't know how to long divide. I do it in my head.

[B]

I was doing the hot tub the other day, and I'm like, Cam, what's nine times nine times nine?

[A]

And he went, 81 9.

[B]

All I said was, what's nine, nine, nine? In my mind, I don't even know, bro. Blurted out a number. Calculator.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

Immediately I'm like, God damn, bro, you're officially smarter than me. Like, there's no way around grades. He in fifth.

[A]

That's a show, Marty. There's a show called are you smarter than a fifth grader?

[B]

No.

[A]

Okay. Whoa. Nine times eight. I haven't done nine times eight in how long? Like, what's nine times eight right now? Nine times seven? Six. Right.

[B]

Nine times.

[A]

I've done my times tables and.

[B]

No, nine times eight is 72.

[A]

72. I haven't done my times tables in so long. I used to get the. Oh, I used to be the first guy, remember? Used to do the. The 100, 100 times tables real quick. It was like a anxiety if I didn't get it done first. That was my thing. I was good at math. I totally won that award for math and I just had to remember what nine times was. It's been a while. It's been a while for sure. So 9, 9 is 81. So 9, 9, 9, 9, 81. So no matter what, we're at what, 800? Oh, no, not even 800. See, I have to split that math. That's hard. What is it? 729. Huh?

[B]

Literally. He thought of it for about three to four seconds. He's in the advanced classes at school. But I didn't realize.

[A]

I want to see how he broke it up. You know what I mean? Like, what's 80 times eight? 644 or 664? No, it can't be four. It's eight at the end. 640. See, look at me. My drug math is just. It's gone, dude. Yeah, real good. Quick, like fast. That's sad.

[B]

The muscles atrophied.

[A]

Oh, it used to be so quick too. So fast.

[B]

I'll never do math again in my life. Chat GPT will give you some wrong information. And janky math sometimes. And you really got to check it. You got to scold it. You got to keep it in check. You gotta give it all kinds of rules, and then you still gotta check it. And what I.

[A]

81 times 9? How did he break that up in his head right there? We're at 720 plus another 81. Right? Wait, how is his math right? What is 81 times 9? This is 729. That doesn't make sense to me.

[B]

Maybe he did 9 times 8 and then added 9.

[A]

That's exactly what he did. I was trying to find the fast way to do it. Wait, why is my brain doing this?

[B]

Welcome. You're down here with us.

[A]

What happened?

[B]

Welcome.

[A]

I've never had this before. I've never had a block. I've always been in the gifted classes as a kid. I've never had to guess math. And then after I just sold drugs, I always had to do math.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The past five years, I had to do no math. It took five years to erase that many years of school.

[B]

Rocco. I was so bad in math at school that I failed math. And then I went to summer school for math. I had to ride my bike there every day in the rain type.

[A]

That's cool.

[B]

But they had put me in the wrong math course, and I didn't even realize that it was a completely different math course than the one I had just failed.

[A]

That's how bad you were at, man.

[B]

Yeah, I didn't even.

[A]

I don't even remember these letters.

[B]

Didn't even realize it was a different class.

[A]

Remember? Don't. Don't feel bad. I took the wrong English class in heist and college. English, second language. I took.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Turns out none of this mattered anyway.

[A]

It didn't matter. Took out my credit. But you didn't take math for foreigners. I took English class. I didn't read the whole thing. I saw a N G available. Take it. That was a fun time. We've talked about that. My friend Ryan. I walked in, went, you have classroom? Oh, no, it was his class. He's like, english. Oh, number. Took it. And we walked in, went, we're the only Americans in here. What the did you give me? He's like, so this is els or he said something. No.

[B]

Hola.

[A]

It was. It was remedial English. Dude. I wish. I hope to God Ryan is clean one day and, like, gets back to earth just so I can be like, do you remember that one time? One time, guys, I'll never forget it. This is so long ago. I was in like my second year of college. The teacher there was this this Japanese guy. He was smart. He was like, he's always on it. You could tell he was a little older. He was here to like work. He's here to work, get his degree. Like he's up. He's that working ass foreign dude. I don't know what happened, dude. He always talks normally. One time the teacher's like, does everybody have the answer to this question? And he puts his head up and he calls his name and he goes, what's the edge? He goes. And that's all he like, is like that noise. It went silent. And then Ryan. You ever seen spongebob movie when the hicks like catch up? Or remember the hicks when they were about to go to the Emerald or the forbidden city? And the two hicks are like. That was me and Ryan in class. We couldn't hold it. We laughed in his face for 40 seconds. I held it as much as I could and I was turning red, tearing. Ryan's dying with his little Napoleon Dynamite hair. I'm dying, laughing. And I remember the teachers like try to hold that in because nobody. I don't care if you don't speak English. That was so funny to hear. And he stopped it, like stopped quick. At the end we looked around like, what? We all died, me and him died. And I remember looking at the teachers like, calm down, chill out. I'm like, I could see it on your face. You want to laugh so hard. Don't. Don't say that. We're dicks. Don't call us dicks. I remember the guy looked at us, he was hurt. I remember feeling so bad, like, oh, come on, man. Like, he looked at me embarrassed and like, dude. I remember what he looked like. He looked a hero from heroes. Hero. Nakamura. He looked.

[B]

Have you ever had a fully disabled in a wheelchair teacher in a teacher? What's distracting?

[A]

Kids are too mean in my school for that.

[B]

No, in college I had like a 7:30am Math class with a fully handicapped teacher in a chair. Yes.

[A]

Do they. Were they able to talk?

[B]

Yes, but it was all. It was all.

[A]

Oh, talk about determination. Half you assholes out there on welfare, section 8, all this fools are on unemployment. This fool can't move and was teaching.

[B]

I stopped going to the class.

[A]

That full outlast of the able bodied young man. Stop being a lazy. You might have to believe some of that. Listen to what he just said, Professor.

[B]

And he was Asian. There's probably language burgers.

[A]

He's from New York. He's Normally he's just American. What the hell? And he was Asian. What's the letter X in. In Chinese? Professor. That. That's who he was, right? Professor X. Professor Zhang Far.

[B]

General Sao.

[A]

What is that? A chicken? Isn't that a food? I know that name. We had a call with an agency today, and they're like, tell us a little bit about motivational comedy podcast Chinese chicken. All these black people speak Spanish. Dude, I get it, though. I understand why we're not liked by. I get it. Liquid death. Don't sponsor us. Never say yes. Oh, I did once. I was like. It was so out of there. Like, hey, Red. Leave you on Red. My. Oh, it's okay. We're very explicit. But also like, what's up?

[B]

You guys got death in your.

[A]

Death in the name. Dude. We watch our unrestricted. It's a lot of that.

[B]

We had our first actual body on Unrestricted today. And I almost threw up.

[A]

That was sad.

[B]

Yeah. It was a scene out of Breaking Bad, basically.

[A]

Sad. It was a scene out of Breaking Bad. Walking up. It was like in good, fellas, when that song starts playing and they starts panning up on the pink Cadillac. And it shows them. Shows them. Shot through the window. The kids find them playing soccer, basketball. My memory. If I could get. I do. Never mind. So if I can use this away to get paid for my memory. All right. Never mind. I tell stories. I can't remember that. Like, if I could only utilize this. That's exactly what happens in the movie, and that's exactly what that scene was today. Except usually it's.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Blood in the movie. The lady in the jacket. Good. Fell's a good movie. Oh, yeah. We had our first meet. We had our meeting with a agency today. It's always so fun. What's your show about? I don't know. I always go. We have Dr. Drew and Tony. Sometimes we'll have a drug addict. I always like to give that exposition. But sometimes we'll have a.

[B]

You know.

[A]

Today we had a whistleblower on from the prison system.

[B]

It's all true.

[A]

I don't know how to word it. It's like talking to your grandma. What'd you do last night? I went with a couple friends. We went out, hung out, went to a. Got food and went to their friends. Just hung out all night. What'd you really do? We went to a bar. We ate a little bit, kept home. We did a bunch of cocaine. You didn't lie to your grandma. You just didn't tell her everything.

[B]

Yeah, that's us both companies.

[A]

The companies are our grandma and you guys are our cousin that comes into town sometimes and we're like, dude, you know what I did this week is crazy. That was the best description ever. We see him once a week, usually for a couple hours.

[B]

Sometimes it's a couple weeks in between.

[A]

For real. Okay, sick. What's. Oh, wait. Last week was Josh Wolf also Campfire special, Right? Josh Wolf. It's out now. Go watch Josh Wolf campfire special.

[B]

[B]

No, I think you just packed it.

[A]

I think I just packed it, too. Okay, while I hit this, Marty's going to Las Vegas. Go tell him why.

[B]

About to embark on the biggest professional trip of my career, actually. Thank you for Rocco. We're scrambling, trying to order some gear up. Make sure I'm ready and situated. Your boy here is basically, I mean, literally fully producing a show, kind of like One Man Love Island. So I'm flying last. Two weeks ago, we were in Comic Con San Diego, and it went so well. The company I'm working with is used to hundred person crews, literally, or more so shutting down neighborhoods, like, as big as the shoot could get. So now you just got me and my homeboy that I work with that's like a director basically running and gunning doing I do best. It's the most fun you can have as a videographer showing up, shooting. And then I get to come back and edit it. So it's like, it's just been going amazing. I've been working super hard at the. We're going to. We got five days in Vegas. You know, I don't take trips for five days, but we're doing five days in Vegas. Shoots every day. Taking the sprinter up there. Taking the sprinter back, coming back, editing out these seasons. This is all for It's.

[A]

Did you say what show it's for? Are you allowed to.

[B]

It's. It's. This is all under the Lawrence brothers universe. And I'll be talking. The Lawrence brothers are cool. And Andy smokes Halloween, too. Go check out their podcast, Brotherly Love. They're really funny. Cool. Just genuine.

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

Wholesome dudes. Brothers like, you know, so anyway, yeah, it's gonna be big. It's. It's. It's a huge opportunity for me to, to get out there and, and do these shoots like this and have them put so much trust in and being my homeboy that I'm doing this with bg. That means a lot. And for all the freelancers out there that I'm always talking to and people doing this, like, is wild.

[A]

Keep working. Just keep at it. We're doing the show in the back end. It's just been working on this for years, though.

[B]

Yeah. And this is what's really important to highlight is that I started working with this company right when we started the podcast in 2019. When we just started the podcast. I was doing my first super bowl shoots with Gwen Stefani.

[A]

We started the show in 2021.

[B]

I had just.

[A]

I was just like, what the earth? How long have we been doing?

[B]

2020, I think. Was it. Yeah, no.

[A]

Yeah, 21.

[B]

So like. But I would just do a couple shoots every year. And there was super bowl commercials.

[A]

Marty always does.

[B]

Yeah, it's all based the same company, so. But there's people that work there on the regular. And I was, you know, like, that's a sick ass job to have. They make movies, big ass movies. They do all kinds of cool. They're constantly doing cool. But these past couple months, they gave me the opportunity to not only come on board in them in a more consistent way, but to really do what I'm best at. Just let me, let me do my thing. And it's been really fun and I'm really excited. So. Yeah, we'll see. We'll be up in Vegas for five days. Come back, keep this pushing.

[A]

Yeah, it's crazy, dude. We've been doing a lot, a lot of. Doesn't even feel like it. I know so much is going on. Just. I was telling Marty we haven't sat like the Tech 9 episodes. Months of, of hype in my brain. And it's. It was one day, it was gone. Not saying it wasn't cool. One day was gone because we have so much next day. The next day the. We had whiz. The next day was Tech nine.

[B]

Yeah. That was insane.

[A]

Right back to back. And then a week after I did.

[B]

Some shows, the guests come in flurries like that, where it's like four or five huge guests. Then it kind of settles and we'll bang out a solo episode. Then they'll book back up again.

[A]

And we just do so much, dude. And even doing one Successful show. We did four. I did four shows the other night, the other weekend, four next weekend, one this weekend. There's so much going on. I just don't. I, I feel like I'm not like capture. I posted on Twitter the other day, like, that's the notes. I just did that to make sure. Like that's everything. Kind of like that I could be stoked about in this last 50 days. Only because I'm thinking about it. If not, I would have never thought about it again. And when it popped up this year, a year ago today, I'm like, oh yeah, like force. I posted, I think on my story. But Forged did another write up. I have a little blurb and another Reddit, a third one. Yeah. And then Cannabis now did a whole shout out to Cannabis down magazine, did a whole article on me. But I was busy as hell that day. So I like post it and I moved and then it's. It's a screenshot. My phone. Like I needed like to be more stoked about these things. I feel like I haven't been even thinking about them. But now, like I told you with the improv.

[B]

But you can check out the new dopazula.com because we are featuring a bunch of these milestones.

[A]

The second we're done and you leave this in there, we have to click on all payments.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

To keep forgetting.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Dope is yolo.com if you look underneath right there at the top and have the Dopa Joel Merch. That's a new site with dope as Yola merch. I've never had merch before. Stobazio.shop. but you can go to dopezole.com it's right there. You click it, go straight to. As the push trees link. It has the Dope Shop link. It has the papers. The papers are coming out. It has a podcast merch, but as a link for the papers. You click it, sign up for the email link, the newsletter. So when it drops, you'll be the first to know. I'm having a lot of stuff come out very soon. The papers are almost here. They're about to land. Website should be done this week. I have all the Instagrams, the Twitters. I have everything you could possibly think of. I bought eight websites.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

I added an S in case somebody. And I put an S over here. I put it. The paper. Papers. Roller rolling. Rollers rolling. Oh, you can't. You can't get me. I. I bought every variation you can ever think of for a. Because I know People are out there gonna be dicks.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Say blank paper. Yes dot com.

[B]

You got to get it with the underscore, without the underscore.

[A]

Everything you can possibly think of, and I did. So that's gonna be cool. We just been doing so much stuff. I just feel like I haven't been able to keep up with it. It's very. A different feeling. I've never had that problem. I cannot keep up with everything. It's kind of crazy. Like, last month was Rosie's birthday. That was. I felt like years ago. Went to that dinner a month ago. Like a year ago. We did. So how much did we do in one month? That was one month ago.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Yeah, we'll go to Houston in the morning. You know, I'm gonna be in Houston in the morning. We're just in Denver, then we're in Seattle, then Tempe, then Europe, then we're everywhere. I've never traveled as much of my life. It's crazy. It's very cool. So thank you, guys. Like, it's very. It's very cool. We have so many videos. We have the whole vlogs for all the European stuff still coming out. I have the mothership part 2 dropping. I have the Mothership rig dropping. I have a review coming out. Dopest video drops right now in an hour. It's non stop, dude. We're. It's cool. Very cool. I'm excited. A lot of new stuff and that's it. Like we always say, don't be a get up, do something. Don't be a lazy, don't be a creep. If you like politics, good. But don't pick a side because people are asking you what your side is. Who gives a what else? Yeah, all the politicians are like 25 years older. They're still kids, too. Like, playing a fool's. Fools are running the country. And it's like, hey, man, remember they were kids, too. People make mistakes. Don't believe in one side so much that you are that you start to hate the person that you're talking to because they don't agree with it. I've had a lot of arguments over this online, and they're like, you should care. Like, dude, should I? Or should I just care about what you agree with? He's like, all right, how about I care about the opposite of yours? Now I'm an app. It's all little kid bickering. That is a distraction from like, yo, go get done by yourself. Go start a company. Go press a shirt. Go start making lanyards Go do. Start doing stuff. Go door to door. I saw these kids the other day taking all the trash cans from all the neighbors. They're doing a little job like fool. Go do something, dude. Just do something productive. By the end of the day, are you up? That's really what it is. Are you up on the end of the day? If you're not, dude, start a calendar and see how many X's and losses you have. And it's going to change the way you think about everything. Just start putting down like today was a good day. Today I up. If you start having more of the bads than goods, then it's a choice.

[B]

You're winning. Literally.

[A]

It's a choice to do good and a choice to do bad. And then here we are. So we promise to never have a political podcast unless it's going to be hilarious. And we can just as long as we're allowed to do what we want to do. I'm very excited.

[B]

Do the same show we always do. You guys know what the to expect sick.

[A]

So if you're watching this this Friday and Saturday, I will be at the Miami Improv. Come check it out. It's gonna be sick. I have no idea where it's at in Miami, but I just know it's the Miami Improv. I'm not sure who's on the. On the bill on the night, but I know David Lucas is the headliner. I'm somewhere in there. I don't know if I'm hosting again. Probably not, but fun. I'm hyped. I used to get nervous and just like I just gotta go. Not only nervous, I don't want to forget everything. Put me on stage right now. I got it. I know exactly my. I got my 10 minutes down. Locked away, ready to go forever. I got it.

[B]

Nice. Amazing.

[A]

Stoked for this weekend. Four shows. Let's go. Dude. In Miami too. Dude, it's preseason. We might be go watch a Dolphins game in the day. You know like this might be. This might be cool.

[B]

Dude, I don't know why you watch the Dolphins, bro.

[A]

Yeah, some millionaires run around for a while.

[B]

Sure, sure.

[A]

Are they a bill's rival?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

Yeah, they were arrival growing up.

[A]

Just the animals. Just animal rivals.

[B]

Goofy ass animal to have as your mascot too.

[A]

By the way, a Bill buffalo.

[B]

No, dolphin.

[A]

Dolphins are the smartest, smartest. I love dolphins, man. Me too.

[B]

They're not intimidating.

[A]

No, they're definitely not cool.

[B]

Like what, bro? It looks like a little.

[A]

But the Bills are the most depressed Team in this league. What you'd ask the Bills? Like, God, just thinking about bills.

[B]

I know. That's perfect. It's fucking perfect.

[A]

It should be called the Buffaloes.

[B]

Too simple. The Buffalo Buffaloes. That'd be kind of goofy.

[A]

No, just call them Buffaloes. Where are they from? Buffalo, New York.

[B]

Ah, got it done.

[A]

They got sick brown wool, like fur.

[B]

Yeah, right. Horns could be sick.

[A]

Some wins bring them home already. God. Josh Allen's from California. Since California. Go for him from Fireball. Dude. Anybody from that a shitty town. I want the best for you. That town sucks. It's worse than me. I mean, it's more boring than Merced. Better off. Yeah, I. I always watch them on Tick Tock. You ever see the worst places in America to live? You ever see that? We came in at number three. Is it the worst places in California to live? Incredible. It said the worst streets in California. Merced. G Street was number six. That's where I got shot by that damn thing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's not even that ghetto or scary. It's just desolate, depressing. You can't come up.

[B]

Top here.

[A]

We only hit the dangerous cities because our city's so small. We have so many murders per. But so many is like 10. It's not a lot, but it's a small city, so that is a lot.

[B]

You can be in the. Yeah, I mean, that's a lot.

[A]

Okay. Yeah, you're right. There's a lot. But still. Hey, man, we always pop up in those. It's crazy, like, rapping shit. But. Oh, yeah, okay.

[B]

I remember that. We used to always be in, like, the upper stat. Like, I used to laugh about that, like when I used to read a newspaper and shit. They'd have like, you know, highest per capita murder rate, poverty rate per the nation, though. Like.

[A]

Buffalo do it. I looked, I said, 126. I said, we're doing one hour. We went two minutes over.

[B]

Sorry.

[A]

That's okay. But yeah, per capita, that's. That's when they get you. Yeah, but Buffalo's a big city.

[B]

Well, it was like back in the day. Buffalo had millions of people in it. Like 2, 3 million people in.

[A]

It happened.

[B]

They rerouted the Erie Canal. They shut all the steel mills down. And Buffalo plummeted to like, sp. Probably got like 150k now.

[A]

What?

[B]

Yeah, that's how it went.

[A]

Oh, that's why that city's.

[B]

It's a ghost. It's a literal ghost town. You had. It was one of the first cities. I know. I say this one the first cities, electricity. It was a booming. It was like a booming city with all the sick ass stuff. Millions of people. Yeah. 70s came. They pulled the steel factories out and the hood set in.

[A]

That's how I had no idea.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Steel history.

[B]

History lesson a little history.

[A]

276, 000 people out of millions.

[B]

That's. That's maybe in the greater area. I feel like maybe there's more people there now. I fun fact. I just looked up the other day what my mom's old house is worth now. So she.

[A]

600.

[B]

She bought the house in like it's probably like 2000 for like 90k. And that was like a pretty expensive house. That same house is worth 300k now. Which seems insane but you think about that means in 25 years it took, you know it gained that much equity in 25 years. But then if you were to look at the houses in my neighborhood now 25 years ago when they were being built for like 150k or whatever. And now you fast forward these houses are worth like 1.6, 1.7. It's like damn. I guess it isn't like it just shows the difference in the. And how this real estate goes the same amount of time. Yeah. I don't know like this house raised 200k over 25 years. This house went up 1.4 million in the same amount of time. Wild.

[A]

I think you just have to know what's going to happen next. Planning for the next 20 years sounds terrible. Oh God. That just makes me life like it's gone. That's. That's how you click through life.

[B]

Yeah, I'm cool off that.

[A]

Let's get out of here. Good day.
