Perfect. Perfect, perfect, perfect. What's up, guys? Welcome back to the Dopest Usual podcast. My name is Thomas Dopasio. Whatever you want to call me. It's my co host, Mario.
Mario
Neil is up, folks.
Thomas Dopasio
What's up? How we doing, guys? Just on time. You know what time it is? It's game time. I brought my PlayStation 1 watch. It's the hardest watch I have. It's so sick. Also, Ratchet man brought me a Ninja Turtle watch. It's a 90s from the Ninja Turtle and it has laces and the little face that slaps your laces. Sorry, I'm all geeked up about toys. What's up, guys? How you doing? Welcome back to Dope As Usual podcast. We're here to talk about life, drugs, problems, accomplishments, and everything in between. Last two weeks ago, we had the exhibit on the show. Marty for the first time did some AI style story stuff to go with it. Apparently you guys love that we're at like 5 million views across the board.
Mario
With three shorts across the board. It was like 5 million views in those exhibit clubs. We appreciate you guys watching and share.
Thomas Dopasio
And it's not like, oh, it's a fluke. It's. It's on Twitter, it's on instagram and. And YouTube all just did great.
Mario
And it was the first time I ever used Chachi BT like that to create like 18 different matching overlays to match the story. And I was hoping you guys would like it. And I'm glad you did because we got a great response from it. And it's not like it's easy for the people that are like, oh, this AI like, yo. That took days to do, especially for the first time, to get them to all match, to make sure exhibit's wearing the same clothes. He looks like he's the same age with his homeboy, that it's the right time of day in Albuquerque in the same art style. Like it didn't just. It's not like you just type that up and it happens. Like, you gotta really nail it in to make it come out like that.
Thomas Dopasio
So with that being said, that's what we're doing today. We decided if we're gonna do the solo episodes, and solo episodes usually consists of stories. Hey, might as well. Might as well as well.
Mario
Why not?
Thomas Dopasio
It's gonna be.
Mario
Yeah, why not have some cool visuals with it.
Thomas Dopasio
Let's do that today, guys. So that's what we're doing today. Before we get into that, I asked Marty, hey, man, can you pick five questions? Because sometimes I'M like, I don't know how to like. People ask me a lot of questions all the time. Right. I don't remember all of them. And sometimes I feel like, did I answer that? Did I answer it publicly? It wasn't a dm. Like, I'll send people videos that email me randomly or dms, like, hey, it's this and that. But I don't remember if I talked about. My memory is just.
Mario
It's too much. It's too much talking.
Thomas Dopasio
Was I alive? Was it Snapchat or was it Twitter? Was it to Marty on FaceTime? Was it Marty on FaceTime? Was it marty on Unrestricted? Was it the podcast? Did I just tell Rosie? So here we go. I had Marty come up with five questions to ask and I'm going to go over them. I haven't seen or heard. I have no idea what's going on. Let's go.
Mario
I didn't come up with these, actually. Chat GPT came up with these. I told Chad, GPT give me five random questions that are going to get Thomas on his heels and go into funny answers. And this is what I came up with.
Thomas Dopasio
You can ask that.
Mario
Yeah. It knows.
Thomas Dopasio
It'll bring out knows who I am.
Mario
It knows what to do you. Yeah. So these are a little wonky, a little goofy. I just did these before, before the show here. It named them Chaotic Hypotheticals, the Slightly Disturbing Edition. I like that one thing.
Thomas Dopasio
I'll say, that's scary. It took all the thought out of it. Well, I mean, the brain power to get those.
Mario
You give it one big block of just Simple's Child's direction immediately. It just knows what to do.
Thomas Dopasio
This is a. This is a game of honor. Because you'd be like, no, I didn't use Chat GBT to come to the script. Like, or did you, you bastard? I'll never know.
Mario
It's on you to still write it. But Chat GPT is gonna format it and flush it out, make it look good, make it all. Yeah, it's like doing the job of 10 guys. Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
All right. Well, yeah, just. It's an honor system.
Mario
I think we need to accept that people aren't going to be like, I.
Thomas Dopasio
Can'T do it, dude. I can't do it. Unless it was the workout plan or it was like, how do you do the meal prep stuff? Yeah, yeah, I'm like, that I'll take. But like, if it's the questions, like, say, we had Adam Sandler, Chappie Chat gbt. What are the quit like, you know, is in my heart. And I went, great question. Oh, that wasn't mine. I gotta take credit for somebody.
Mario
But it's you, it's your assistant. It's you. It's on the team.
Thomas Dopasio
It's like, hey, man, you signed my card. Yeah, I did. My assistant signed the card. Oh. Deep down, I know I didn't sign it. I think it's the. It's the going to sleep like that. Like I got to live for myself. Oh, God. That's how I feel with. That's why I can't cheat at video games and games.
Mario
In my mind, I think about everybody we've ever hired that didn't work out. And anytime Chat GPT comes through with.
Thomas Dopasio
Some and I'm like, thank God we have to hire you.
Mario
I love this guy.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, no, I get it. It's a huge tool. But that's scary.
Mario
Nobody's going to be writing anymore. Nobody's going to be doing anything beyond just a big block of whatever their thoughts are. And then it's going to make it nice.
Thomas Dopasio
I won't say what style of movie or show, but let's say that there's a certain show that I know of, somebody that writes there that uses ChatGPT solely for episodes and the scripts to actually write it for the show on tv.
Mario
I mean, it's. When I did it with the animations, it was shockingly good at it. Like, it. It understood the exhibit story. I retyped out exhibit story. It broke it into scenes. It knew what it was doing. I could totally see that. Yeah, you shouldn't do that if you're a show writer.
Thomas Dopasio
That shit's crazy.
Mario
Yeah, because they're gonna replace you real quick.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, for sure. Okay, let's get into these add. I'm trying to.
Mario
Okay. Chaotic hypotheticals, guys. These are random. First one, Would you rather trip acid at a child's birthday party or be completely sober during an orgy? That's. That's what Chat GPT asked for.
Thomas Dopasio
Chat GPT is a weird ass, man. Right?
Mario
That was like the first one he came up with.
Thomas Dopasio
Creepy Uncle Chat GPT. Chad.
Mario
Yeah. I don't know why those two together. I'm going. You're asking me? I'm going for the sober orgy versus the acid.
Thomas Dopasio
Do I have to participate? That's a big question.
Mario
Okay.
Thomas Dopasio
Is it all guys?
Mario
I. I don't know why it picked the child's birthday party and the. The sobriety at the origin.
Thomas Dopasio
Hey, Dap, we're going to have to have you try chat GPT DAP.
Mario
GPT.
Thomas Dopasio
Dad, there's like, 15 new videos on locals. Shua, Mundy, NJ DAP. There's a bunch of new videos. I was watching Michigan watch them. Pay the 12 bucks every time you hear of some creep out there. Pay the 12 bucks to watch them get their asses be. I'll do it every. I do it every month.
Mario
We're working on the. The full dap. Unrestricted episode, too, by the way.
Thomas Dopasio
We're going to figure it out. All right, guys, I sit at the birthday party, for sure.
Mario
Okay.
Thomas Dopasio
For sure. Yeah, there's bathrooms. I'll go sit in the bathroom. I. I'm already at the back of.
Mario
Parties and they're going, okay, I might as well enjoy myself.
Thomas Dopasio
Just chill in the bounce house or something. All right, I'm definitely going bounce house. Child's birthday party on drugs. Yeah, and it didn't say buy acid and take. It just said take ass. So I have to buy, too. Double win ory. I might get fluids on me. And, like, no matter where I am, somebody with a mustache is going to creep me the out.
Mario
Dude, you need. You need to be on something for that. I never thought about that.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, I'm good.
Mario
Okay. No, you have to fake your own death in 48 hours. What's your exit strategy? And what's your new name?
Thomas Dopasio
Oh, nice. I've always thought about, if I was a gangster, how would I kill people faster? And I would wipe all you fools out myself. Huh?
Mario
You're faking your own death in two days. So, like, right now, it's what, Thursday? So, like, Saturday around this time, you got to be convincing the world that you're dead.
Thomas Dopasio
I. First off, I find Carlos Mencia. I angle him, put him in a car, light it on fire, and like, damn, that's Thomas. It has to be him. And then I just leave.
Mario
Put him in the money. It malfunctioned.
Thomas Dopasio
The thing exploded again. Like in casino. Chuck him out.
Mario
No, the dude from. You got to go get the dude from the band.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, but I like his music.
Mario
Oh, okay.
Thomas Dopasio
All right.
Mario
Got you.
Thomas Dopasio
No, but for real, I. I go towards Santa Cruz. I drive to where I go past traffic lights with my arm out the window doing this, so I know they catch me on camera. I go to where, past the beaches? Not past the beach, obviously, to where the beach is. I throw my car off the side of the mountain somewhere with the door open and the seat belt on.
Mario
Okay. Okay.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah. They'll think I'd try to get out and drowned. I got quashed away in the current. A lake they can always drain.
Mario
Yeah, yeah. That ocean.
Thomas Dopasio
No one's drained that ocean.
Mario
Oh. Especially if you. You're talking about, like Big Sur area up by. Oh, yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
Wash my off so easy. So easy. No one's gonna know. What's my new name? Schlamus Moraun.
Mario
So they're like Miguel and hello. What do you say?
Thomas Dopasio
Some. Oh, yeah, Michelino or I Michael Henio. Damn it. Whatever blase he said his name was, that's how I do it. Schlamus Maraho. That's my new name. And I go live in Puerto Rico because it's still America.
Mario
Okay. All right.
Thomas Dopasio
I'm American at heart.
Mario
And you're tax free over there. This is a triple win.
Thomas Dopasio
That's a random question.
Mario
Oh, that. We're gonna keep them going.
Thomas Dopasio
Okay, let's go.
Mario
Would you rather lose your voice forever or randomly scream I sell crack once a day without warning? I sell crack, but it's without warning. You got no control.
Thomas Dopasio
Oh, Adam Sandler. Like in big. I sell crack in Big Daddy. When you. And it's over.
Mario
Okay.
Thomas Dopasio
Before I start making mad money in shitty neighborhoods, I just scream.
Mario
That versus losing your voice forever is insane.
Thomas Dopasio
Losing your voice forever or scream out a word.
Mario
I'm gonna tell chat GPT to raise the stakes on a couple.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know a lot of that say I sell crack all day anyway.
Mario
Okay.
Thomas Dopasio
So, yeah, I definitely scream. I'm. So I smoke crack.
Mario
Or it could make. You have to be like, now, like, you live in a nice neighborhood and like, the only thing you can do to make money is sell crack. No, that's one I threw in. Oh, it's like an alt version.
Thomas Dopasio
That'd be cool. No, it wouldn't be. Marty. I would definitely rather lose my voice and have to be a crack dealer for rest of my life. I'm always going to go to prison. I'm always going to get shot at. I deal crack heads. Yeah, I'd rather be silent. Learn a bunch of sign language.
Mario
Yeah. Pretty quiet guy. Anyway, yeah, you could just do this podcast in sign language that now your school is gonna really think you're filming.
Thomas Dopasio
Oh, man.
Mario
Did you. Did you go back and tag up the wall while you were there?
Thomas Dopasio
I left it alone.
Mario
Should have tagged up. A big thumbs up. You should have tagged up whatever school it was that put you in the class. You should have tagged their on the Merced School.
Thomas Dopasio
That would have started a riot. I don't know. I don't. You know, I don't think people Care about football like that no more. We're not in Texas. That's when they care. They steal a statue and the mascot and one kid gets killed or something. That's like some 1980s. I'm good off that. Definitely cell crack.
Mario
Okay, we got two more.
Thomas Dopasio
Go ahead.
Mario
A billionaire offers you $10 million.
Thomas Dopasio
He has. And I told him to suck my dick.
Mario
Well, continue, but you have to get a tattoo across your entire back that says, I suck toes in comic Sans. It has to be visible.
Thomas Dopasio
This is what chatgpt wants. Chatgpt is 14 years old dude with a profile picture of Stanley from the office. That not serious at all.
Mario
Dude, are you me for 10 miles? No 10 mil. Why is it the comic sans?
Thomas Dopasio
I don't want any tattoo.
Mario
Oh, man. If on the back I could see if it was on your face or something. But even then, you probably go viral. I mean, look at Post Malone.
Thomas Dopasio
I suck toast. I mean, look at Post Malone this man. No, I don't want that on my body.
Mario
Yo. 10 mil. 10 mil back tat. 10 mil.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, but you gotta get. I. We gotta pick yours and you gotta rock it shirtless at beaches.
Mario
That's the thing.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, I know what to give Marty. They give him a great conversation starter.
Mario
What? A Dolphins logo. Oh, that's what. I'm passing the 10 mil out.
Thomas Dopasio
Oh, my phone died. Do you have a charger? Yeah, you charge. Oh, man. Ah, it's cool. I'll leave it down. I saw. You have to bleed this. There's a Dolphins logo. I was gonna believe. I was like, what about a big nice swastika on your back? Everywhere you're at you just constantly. Yeah, look at this piece. And then I saw a post of a Dolph of a girl holding a paint. Holding a canvas, and she's like this outside of a boat, and a dolphin's got a paintbrush in his teeth and he drew a swastika. It's AI, but who the prompted that? Dude, it's like 16 pictures of dolphins. How about you get that picture on your back a dolphin painting that on your back 10 mil.
Mario
Damn. Reno prompting in chat GPT. A dolphin painting a swastika.
Thomas Dopasio
Jesus Christ. Also, wait, wait. I just. All I started thinking was Ace Ventura at the lost Train of thought.
Mario
Oh, I just had Cam watch Truman show for the first time yesterday.
Thomas Dopasio
Why should do that to him?
Mario
He wanted to watch it.
Thomas Dopasio
He's like nine. You just made him grow up.
Mario
It's really funny how they do all the ads. I didn't notice that when I First watched it all. The they hi.
Thomas Dopasio
Now with the bleed cuz he doesn't know.
Mario
They push him up against the chicken.
Thomas Dopasio
Sign the two so they can see it.
Mario
Yeah, he's all crazy, dude.
Thomas Dopasio
That movie's insane. Yeah, definitely. No, I don't want the 10 mil. No. And then I was gonna say something else. Please. Figure I was gonna say, oh, people on that bad tattoo show do that for free. You ever see that? There's a show out there where it's like, hey, me and Marty are friends, but sometimes we with each other. So what we're gonna do is go on this show on mtv. I get to pick his tattoo, he gets to pick my tattoo, and then we reveal it at the same time. Have you seen that?
Mario
I know of the show. I don't think I ever watched it.
Thomas Dopasio
People do that shit for free, I think, I don't think they get money. So the 10 mil thing is astronomical. Everybody in the world do it except me. I don't want tattoos. Even if I had not a dollar, I still wouldn't do. I don't want them.
Mario
What if I get got to get brown pride like King Vlasko?
Thomas Dopasio
That'd be hard though.
Mario
Be sick.
Thomas Dopasio
No one's ever gonna say nothing wrong to you, right? No one's gonna be like, but you're not brown. Then like, don't miss this ethnicize me or whatever the they call it.
Mario
Start pointing to the front holes and thank you.
Thomas Dopasio
Sorry, I completely forgot to see. Double ribbon pens. All right, all right, let's go, let's go. Okay, what's the next one?
Mario
All right, last one. You've been cloned. The clone is living your life slightly better than you. He's cooler, funnier, richer. You find out he's doing the podcast now, what do you do?
Thomas Dopasio
Kill him. I shoot him right in the face. What if he becomes a creeper? Oh yeah, take him out. You ever seen Doodle Bob? I don't want Doodle Bob. I don't want a clone of me. What if a clone of me has different morals?
Mario
Yeah, that's a good point. We were just talking about you. I'm just watching the first season of you right now. Spoiler alert.
Thomas Dopasio
He goes over.
Mario
Yeah, over 20 years ago. But it's just like this, cuz he goes to kill the. His like sister in law, I think, but she's a twin. And he takes the wrong twin. And then, then he goes and gets the other twin and puts them both in a a cage basically and says, you got to kill this other twin. So that now you two are guilty or I'm have to kill you both.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, I would definitely go to the cosplay. He made me kill my sister.
Mario
Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
I'm not getting convicted, but the one.
Mario
Sister woke up from being bludgeoned and started talking to the other sisters. The other sister just killed her on her own. But then she went and started living her life.
Thomas Dopasio
A con. It's all here.
Mario
So yeah, definitely. Basically dialed.
Thomas Dopasio
I, I, I Carl's been see it. I, I get behind him with a tie.
Mario
A twin of me. I'm going full Jesse Pinkman. I'm chaining that to final cut.
Thomas Dopasio
100. I get that.
Mario
That'd be great. That'd be awesome. Hired.
Thomas Dopasio
Also.
Mario
What do we got here?
Thomas Dopasio
My chest is still a little.
Mario
Oh yeah, you up. A lot's been going on. We got a lot to get over. These are. This is just a late intro.
Thomas Dopasio
What's up, guys? Take a moment to talk about one of our favorite sponsors. And this is Day Savers. I recently just went up to Seattle and did a commercial, a couple commercials with Day Savers. They're going to be awesome. Day Savers has every single thing you could think of when it comes to smoking. Rolling accessories. The reason why you see people roll with ceramic and glass because with paper, the heat transfers a lot more. With the glass, there's more separation and the heat kind of dissipates before it hits your lungs. When people roll those big fat ones, that that cherry is hot. It's just a little barrier in between you and the literal hot ember. Also smoke temple. They have the pre roll CR cones. I've said it before. Awesome. I love them. I can't get enough of them. All you got to do is pack it like a cone. That's it. Fill up. Once the hemp wraps that you can actually just stuff them. If you like blunts but you're not good at rolling them, you can now stuff them. And also with everything with Day Savers, there's wood tips, there's sugar flavored tips, there's vanilla tips like Arnold Schwarzenegger with a cigar. I like to bite down on my joint sometimes when I'm doing stuff. So if anything I just said interests you in all the products and all the cool stuff that Day Savers has to offer, go to their website and you can go and use our code dope as usual. And that's 20 off of everything. And thank you for supporting the brands that support us, guys. That was random. Chad GPT is a prepubescent little Kid saying, yeah, yeah, for real, dude. He's listening to all of John Lazure's have you ever been high as? And all that stuff. Yeah, he's definitely on that Lonely island tip. For sure. He's pretty little dicky. Sorry. The show's called Dave. I'm like, what's the last name? My bad. Guys, let's get out of this.
Mario
Sorry. Would you say this reefer was cereal milk? Oh, nice.
Thomas Dopasio
I can barely taste anything. My nose is so plugged.
Mario
Sucks.
Thomas Dopasio
Guys, let's start off with a story. And I'm gonna try to paste this because I know Mari's gonna be doing the AI. I think I might have told this story on here. But, guys, it's been so long. I retell a story sometimes. So be it. It happens. I cannot remember if I talked about this before in this story. I am 15 years old. When I was 15, my homie Joe, who My best friend, his older brother lived in Santa Cruz. Right by Pacific. Right by Pacific. Company Beer company or whatever. Right next to the. The burger spot. It's right there, like a little crossroads. Any bright side or whatever it's called. I know Joe. Joe looks like Justin Bieber and Paul Walker mixed together. He can do whatever he wants. He's allowed to do whatever he wants. He didn't go to school. 12th grade, homeschooled, and they still let him walk. That's the widest privilege I've ever seen in my life.
Mario
Got pull.
Thomas Dopasio
Pull off the. Off the chain, dude. Prettiest kid ever. Worst. Worst talking to girls I've ever seen in my life. Was just like, hey, the pretty.
Mario
Is he still bad? No, he was outside, but I mean, but when he didn't. Was he bagging before he lived outside?
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, he's just pretty. Just say Joe, never talk.
Mario
But was it so bad that didn't like him or were.
Thomas Dopasio
No, he was just a guy he wasn't good at. That's all. He's just like, hey.
Mario
So standard.
Thomas Dopasio
Stupid, right? I know Joe. He gets away with everything. When I say gets away with everything. We were drinking beers at 15 at Millennium Sports Gym because he knew one of the guys, and the guy was like, oh, I can't give it to you. Still got him to give us beers. Don't know how it happened, but he.
Mario
Did at the gym.
Thomas Dopasio
The gym, they have beers, they have drinks. They have a little lounge. We would sneak the beers into the back pool, chug that, try to smoke a blunt, and just do play racquetball for hours. It was so Fun. Joe's mom was the trainer. She was the trainer of that place. So they just let Joe do whatever the you want. I just try to pre preface that because this fool could do whatever he wants. So we're in Santa Cruz, and he goes, hey, there's a bar down the street. I know I can get his drinks. I go, I'm 15. I look 12. There's no way. I had a little Rosie Odon haircut. Still a little ogzy. And I'm like, there's no way. Me, him, I think it was Eliza. We go to Santa Cruz. Brother's house is sick. His girl's cool. She's an artist. He's got a big ass bong, a glass bong with, like opals on it. We think we're the. We're smoking little snaps. Having a ten sack. When you're 15 years old, you might as well have a car. Three next to you, and your name's on a jumbotron like you. You're the man. Like, I got enough weed for the day, dude. Let's go. Like, just such a cool experience. And like, your older brother's letting us smoke in his house. And his older brother's cool as. So you know. You know that feeling like Dan, that feels cool. And he's letting us.
Mario
Oh, yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
You feel like, all right, all right. This is sick. It's like when you get older and like the high school kids like, hey, come chill with us, man. Like, all right. You walk a little taller and something's in there. Smoking bowls, dying, trying to hold it in, all that. And later on the night, he's like, hey, let's go to the. I think it's called Seabright. He's like, let's go to Seabright. I can get his pictures of Blue Moon. No, you can't. There's no way in hell. His brother's neighbor happened to be the bartender at that place. So there's a bar, and next door is like a restaurant. We go to the restaurant, we got like some fries. I had no money. Joe got two pictures of Blue Moon. We all have a little Justin Bieber haircuts, little child children wearing probably American eagle striped shirt. We walked there. We didn't have a car, not even old enough. And this fool came out like this with two pictures. All right, set him on the table for us. Like, are you stupid, dude? You didn't even card us. Because the bartender said, yeah, they're good. It's like we're Simon Birch babies. There's no way in hell we're that old. There's no way we're over 10th grade because we were in the 10th grade. Anyway, I'm sitting there. We have the. The cups come chilled. You know, when they bring you the cups, chill. When you're drinking, like, beers, like, adult report. And I'm like, I hate Blue Moon, but I'm gonna chug it. I'm drinking it like, I'm outside. I'm in Santa Cruz. It's the weekend. My mom's not here. I'm drinking beer like, I thought it was the man. We chugged those so damn fast and got out of there because I knew someone was gonna come up. We chugged two pictures. Three kids did two pictures of Blue Moon. Like, 15, 20 minutes. You could tell we weren't of age. We were chugging beer in a restaurant, like, chugging. Like, we're done. About an hour later, we're walking around smoking weed. Hour later, we try to go into the bar. And at the bar, he knows the bartender. He's looked like Justin Long From Jeepers Creepers 1. We walk in. Well, I try to walk in the bar. The guy's like, no, no, no, no. The bartender looks us, like, come on, guys. And Joe looks back. Hey. And he. The bartender comes up, talks to the security guard. He's like, all right. Come in of a bar in Santa Cruz, little boys. We walk in. Everybody does this one. Like, everyone's, like, doing this. They're children. We're babies. So we're inside. We go up to the bar, and I'm like, oh, I've never ordered a drink in my life. I don't know what to drink. We just get whatever. Beer, 18 packs, two for one. I'm drinking Everclear. I don't know liquor names. I know what Bacardi is. And the guy comes up, what do you want to drink? I went blank to my cuties. Cutty Sock and water. Because Joe Pesci says it good, fellas. Cutty and water. I was like, water. And I drank Cutty Circle My Uncle John once. And he looks at me, he goes, all right, that's not your drink. You're not 75. You're not an old man. There's no way you drink Cutty Shark with water in it. He gave it to me, and I went. I coughed it right back in the cup. Oh, remember, like, Deuce Bigelow, when. When Rob Schneider's about to drink the cranberry and vodka and then Norm McDonald's $20? And he goes, oh, no, no, no. That's how I felt. I look at Joe and he's like, drinking some. I don't know. We lasted 48 seconds in there. I mean, another person that worked there walked up my guys, you gotta leave right now. Like, dude, what are you talking about? We're 21. He goes, get out. And I try to drink my cup. As I walked out, they kicked us out so damn fast. But the fact that we got in or they didn't make us pay for the drinks, there's like, get out of our establishment right now if you get us in trouble. And it was incredible. One of the best experiences I've ever had. That's just like little kid getting into a bar I didn't know was possible. You know that. That getting rejected is the worst, right? Getting rejected and walk of shame is so much like, have you ever tried to buy beer Underage? I got a store, and they look at you like, shut up and get out. I was 14. I walked in, got two Keystone Lights because we were outside fishing, trying to get homeless people to buy a shit for an hour. I'm the youngest looking person there. I was so irritated. I'm like, I'm going in. And there was like, bro, you go. Okay. Walked into Circle G, grabbed it. I remember waiting in line with two 18s. Like, it's not gonna work. It's not gonna work. It's three in the afternoon. What am I doing? I walk up, I put them on there. Hey, man, I'm looking at the candies. Ah, that's it. Just these two. And the guy's looking at me. You know that meme of that Indian guy? That's what. He's looking at me like, id. And I went, must be in the car. I don't have a car. I was standing outside for an hour. He saw me and I went, must be in the car. I'll get you next time. He goes, nah, man. Like, you need. I need your id. Go. You sure? Like, I'll just come back with it tomorrow, man. And he's like, yeah, yeah, just leave these here. Get out of my store. Oh. And I walk ashamed. With the two old men laughing behind me like. Like they hadn't tried it before these. They were just chuckling. I remember just like, oh, instant little kid shame. Just. And I walked outside. We got no beer. Made a way for my dealers, John, to buy it for us later.
Mario
The embarrassment.
Thomas Dopasio
The embarrassment of that. I hope the AI version of that worked out pretty funny. But it's just us like little boys in a bar just trying Our. Remember Little Rascals, when they put. And they dress up in suits, they put one of each other on their. On their shoulders and their walk. We're businessmen. That was me.
Mario
Oh, yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
It doesn't work or. You ever see those pictures of a. Of babies with like regular business clothes on? It's all big on them. That's what we look like, dude. They look like. Or the AIs of celebrities. The AI baby videos. You see, that's. That's us trying to buy liquor. But I mean, dude, they let us. Can't blame us for trying, man. But if it wasn't for Joe, I would have never done that. What the.
Mario
The homeless fools were saying. We're passing you down.
Thomas Dopasio
There wasn't enough. Like, they were homeless, but not like, yeah, I'll buy that shit. Give me the change. You know what I mean? Like they weren't. I remember one time, this kid Sean, he was a super pretty kid. Actually, here's another story about Sean. He used to be really cool. He's a year younger than us, but he was like a cool kid. He was one of the. You know, he looked like Pete Davidson with no tattoos. Like, he was a tall kid. And apparently girls like tall guys. When I found that out, I was a kid, like, oh, you just pull bitches all the time. You're like 14. Yeah, I'm just told, you know, girls don't know that my. Oh, cool. But he was like a pretty kid. He flirted with this like 40 year old woman and she went in there and bought us the be. Oh, and gave him her number. Where's Chris Hansen? That I have no idea, dude. We were children. And I remember, she's like, don't be driving. Come on, Sean. I was like, what did you say? Saying to this woman, she. I think. I don't think she used our money. I think she bought the beer for us. Remember walking back like, all I see.
Mario
On Twitter is teachers, kids like that. Never crossed my mind.
Thomas Dopasio
Every time. Every time, too. It's always this like some guy like that. When it's a guy. No, when it's a guy banging a different. And then it's always this.
Mario
When it's a girl, she's always smiling.
Thomas Dopasio
She said, I'm getting out every time. I'll be right out. And my guy waiting for me will barely be 18.
Mario
My only fans is cracking.
Thomas Dopasio
It's gonna be cr. Yeah. Oh, God. So. So this is the story about Sean. Ready? I'll give you the whole. The whole thing. It's the same guy from the story time where I went to this guy's house, smoked, and I ran from the cops, and I hid behind the bush, and they took me back like, you're high? That whole story. Same exact day. So the first time I ever met Sean, I went to his house. I didn't. I thought he was way older than me because he's so tall and like a mustache. He's not. He's younger than me. I go to Sean's house. He lives right by the high school. I'm like, oh, damn, his sister's pretty as. Dude, she's not. She's gonna let us get high. 48 minutes later, I realized that's his mom. His mom was only 10, 12 years older than him. So she was like 24. We're like 14. He's 13, right. I thought it was a sister, but I was like, damn, that's your mom? That sucks, dude. She's hella pretty. That would suck to have to deal with all the time.
Mario
Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
And I remember we're sitting there, we're hanging out. We're watching how high they roll blunts good. And I remember thinking, like, you guys are younger than us. You fools are cool. Damn, you guys are cool. I just step it up. You're watching how high? Stick. I can't do that in my house. So Sean's cool. All high school bad. Fast forward. I see Sean after school. I think I've talked about this. I see Sean after high school. I'm working in bayonets. I haven't seen him in a while. I remember he started doing a lot of pills, a lot of ecstasy. Like, a lot. And then I heard he was smoke snorting him. And then I heard he was smoking pharmaceuticals. But I didn't know you could crush pills and smoke them back then. I had no idea about that. And then I remember I saw him crush up a bunch of pill. I think there was. And he snorted. I was like, wait, you're going to deep end, man. Chill out. But his mom and his mom bought him a car. I mean, dude, he was living it the up. Anyway, it's after high school. I haven't seen him in like two years. He just graduated. I pull up to this house, and he always door Mike. Sean. It's like, Thomas. Oh, my God, man. Right off the bat, I'm like, you're a tweaker now, dog. No, I can see it on his jaw, you see, on the landscape of his teeth. His was going. I was like, oh, Sean, how you been, man? Blah, blah, blah, blah. I'M like, in my head, I'm like, oh, no, dude, you're. At least you're at the home. You're at your house. I know your mom's here because you don't have a house. You're getting pizza. That means you're eating. You're buying it, so it means you're not stealing. You're doing okay.
Mario
Food, shelter, church.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, he's doing okay. You know? I'm like, oh, you know what? It's okay. I remember I'm 20, 19, having to think about this like this. And he was, dude, you think give me a job there? Go. Probably. Honestly, man, we're looking for drivers right now. And he goes, oh, man, that'd be sick. I'm gonna apply. He put in good words for me. I'm like, sean, of course, dude. Just go. His name's John. Tell him I told you to apply, and we'll get your application. So, dude. Oh, hell, yeah. He's like, we should smoke sometime. And in my head, I'm like, maybe he used to be tweaking. Now he's cool now. Maybe he's just, like, got that little. A little eye thing that some tweakers get.
Mario
Or the tweaker tick.
Thomas Dopasio
Tweaker tick. It's not. He said, dick, but I got you the ticks of a tweaker. Yes. I go back to work. I get his number. I go back to work. This texts me the very next day, hey, man, just wanted to see what's going on with the job. And I go, oh, cool. Yeah. Did you apply? No. I go, oh, well, you just got to put your resume in, dude. And I. I mean, I have to have the resume to give to my boss. I can't. I can't just hire you. I'm a. I just. I'm just a driver. And he goes, all right, I'll get it done. I go, yeah, just let me know, dude. The next day, hey, what's up with that job? I'm like, oh, he's tweaking. He doesn't remember. He talked to me, like, did you set. Did you put in a resume? No, I don't want to, like, but I need you to. I'm texting him at work. I'm text. I know where he lives. I have his address. I've delivered pizza to him. I don't color the door is, man. And he's texting me. I remember. I'm, like, doing. I. I was a driver. I was doing dishes. I'm making pizzas. I'm putting pizzas in the oven. I'm taking them out. I'm taking orders. I'm a mvp, dude. That place also, I just went back. My sticker's still up on the wall. Let's go. And the workers watch my. Let's go. He texted me, goes. And I said, oh, did you put the application? This is the second time. This is day three. I saw him the first day, the second day, he texted me and said, hey, you gotta apply. Third day, I'm doing pizzas. I text him back, oh, I just need you. Your application, did you put it in? I text him that, go back to making pizzas, you know, and this, this right here, guys, is the big flat stick that you pick up pizzas with. All right. And they're sweeping. I always do the oven. So I'm just doing this. Ten minutes later. I checked my phone. I didn't put an application in. Just get me the job. And I text him like, dude, I'm. I'm a driver. Doesn't work that way. I can't do it. Just literally fill the out. That's all you got to do. It's a one page application. Go back to work. Sweeping up, doing all this. Remember, this is the same guy. I'm like, damn, this kid's cool. I checked my phone. If you don't get me this job, I'm gonna fucking kill you. I'm right by the beer. I went, is he here? And I went, you. And that's the last time I ever talked to him. Damn, if you don't get me this job, I'm gonna kill you. I want to work right beside you every day, friend. Want to smoke a blunt? I'll kill you, dude.
Mario
What a.
Thomas Dopasio
What the man, he kept trying to order too. And we, we kicked, we kicked him out the list. Like, yeah, we're not, we don't. We don't deliver that no more. You're a weirdo. And let me borrow a dollar. I'll pay you back. I'll kill you. But I. I'll pay you back. And that's when I went, oh, he's gone.
Mario
Did he keep texting you?
Thomas Dopasio
I just laugh, hella laughing, and put you. That was it, dude. And I was thinking, like, I'm pretty sure I could beat the out of you, so if it's. It's fine. That's all I thought, like, I'm pretty sure I could whoop your ass. And that was it. And I just went throughout my life. But I remember thinking, once you can.
Mario
Check that off in your head, you're like, all right, I can move on.
Thomas Dopasio
Yes. But I just remember thinking back to, oh, kill or I'm gonna kill you. And thinking you were pulling ladies 10, 15 years older than you making this by beer. You were so cool. You have a car. This is this is the water you serve to your plants. That's what I felt like. This is what you mounted to, man. Anyway, that was a very I thought you farted, dude. I'm not kidding. I heard. I l looked right over to you, dude. Yeah, that's what happened. That was hilarious. I couldn't believe it. His best friend is the one I got caught with hiding behind the bush.
Mario
Okay?
Thomas Dopasio
Like, they were like tag teams, dude. They were. They were cool. But if you don't give me that job, I'll kill you, dude. That was crazy. What would it be like if I was like, okay, I got you. Come to work, right?
Mario
A lot of people would have probably.
Thomas Dopasio
Well, I'll shoot you first. I don't have a gun, but I'll figure this out. I probably wouldn't have. I'm just kidding. But it was pretty fun. It was pretty funny.
Mario
Super fun.
Thomas Dopasio
I I, I I always go on tangents and forget I forgot about that. You know what? One time this I remember that. It's it goes everywhere. So let's that was a story. Two stories. Let's hop into a different story, guys. Ready? Next story. This. I don't know if this b or have graphics, but this weekend I went to Seattle. We did a commercial for Custom Cones usa, Our sponsor, Day Savers. Philip Blunts Smoke Temple. He's gonna be really funny. I mean, I was in full Kiss makeup and a wig with band players. And, like, there's gonna be explosions and green screen. And this is for a paper company, by the way. It's gonna be funny. As I did another commercial, the Bill Nye thing. They're gonna have, like, my head rotating Bill, all that crap.
Mario
I can't wait.
Thomas Dopasio
I'm excited to watch it. So that's what I did, right? I went this weekend. And besides that, what else did I do? I went and traveled because they're up in Washington. I went to Mothership because I've been talking to Mothership. If you don't know who Mothership is, I like to describe it as the Lamborghini of glass. Everybody knows about it. If you don't know the name, you've seen it. If you're into the weed, you know, like, you got a fucking mothership. If you walked into your girlfriend's taking her to your. Your new girlfriend. You haven't met all of her friends. You go to a new friend's house and her boyfriend's sitting there with a fucking mother, she'd go, what the hel. Who is this guy? Can. Let's smoke. I like this. This is awesome. Because, you know, if you got a mothership, you're dedicated, you're into it. You like this already and you probably smoke fire.
Mario
What's the minimum price on like, it depends, dude.
Thomas Dopasio
Like there can be 3,000, 50,000. Depends.
Mario
Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
Like John's blue one, that's just like 12K. That little blue.
Mario
That blue, yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
That shit's sick though. That's like 12 bands.
Mario
Do they do like drops or you could they just have like.
Thomas Dopasio
They have drops? They have. Oh, it's. It's very. It's hard. It's hard to like put a. Put something on them. Like they do more than just rigs. Like I filmed the whole thing. I've never. I've been in a lot of glass places. I've never seen a glass place this intricate, organized and a real business and like a team. It was different. Anyway, I'm driving up there, Washington, you guys need to get on it. Your speed limit on the i5 is 60. So I'm driving, I'm listening to Eddie Murphy raw. Just because I just want to listen to the stand up and you know, I'm not smoking right now, but I do have the bong. I brought my bong on the plane, so. All right, look at this. What happens, guys? I leave LA at 8 in the morning, drive to my grandma's birthday in Merced, drive to my grandma's birthday, chill all day. From Merced, I drive to San Francisco. I have a travel ball, my fucking thick ass glass bong. And I was like, I'm going to give this to a family of a road in San Francisco. Like, hey, come to the street, there's a fucking new bong. Grab it. I forgot. I'm pulling up to Enterprise. I'm in a rental pulling up to Enterprise. I look down like the bong's full. Give me it. We're pulling up the ramp and I just pour it out. I'm going like 10, just pour it out. No big deal. But I'm like, where am I going to stash this at now? I'm inside the rentals parking lot. All right, I guess I'm just going to take it. So I wrapped it and shoved it in my suitcase. It's the guy's class. I put my car on it should make it through the airport. So the girl comes, she starts doing her paper. And that's when I look and go, oh, my God, there's bottle water all over the car. And it's stinks when you spit out the window and it hits your window. I poured a full beaker out the window. Just caked the car.
Mario
He went through the car wash?
Thomas Dopasio
Yes. It stunk so bad. It stunk. The girl came up and she laughed, looked at us, and then just checked us off and walked away. She's like, yo, it stinks. So I shoved it in my bag. We go, now I have a travel bong. Yeah, we're in Seattle ripping balls, blah, blah, blah. Doug, commercial. Go to Mothership. They're about two hours away. So I'm like, oh, let's. Let's run it 60 miles an hour that I'm smashing. I start chilling, listen to Eddie Murphy raw. Not smoking bowls at the time. But the bong is in Rosie's lap, which is in the passenger seat right there. Got weed right in the center, like right in the middle, like all our. And I see this cop on the side of the road. I look down, I'm like, oh, 74. And I look over at 60 and there's a semi on the side. So I try to slow down a little so the semi blocks me. He had no radar gun out. This motherfucker guessed. I haven't pulled over a long time. The second I started sliding behind the diesel, I saw his tire turn away. Oh, he's coming. I know he's coming. Rolled all my windows down. Thirty seconds later, I see him flying. Gets right behind me like, I already knew it. Dude pull off and went the bong. And Rocco's never been pulled over. This motherfucker's doing this in the back seat, moving all his stuff, putting his shoes on. I'm like, stop moving. He's like, why? Like, stop moving in the car with a cops behind. It's like, oh, go. I forgot you've never been pulled over. And you're like, you grew up. Nice. Don't move like that. You're reaching down, putting his shoes on.
Mario
He's about to run.
Thomas Dopasio
Right? Right. I don't know. And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm on the freeway. He's gonna come up on the right side. I went, rosie, put the. Put the plastic bag on it. Rosie just pulls up a plastic bag. Where? Water. She just pulls it to her hip like this, just holding it, and it's just covering the bong. The Bongus. She just does this. There's a. Yeah, Bong. Dirty smoked. He's like, hey, I'm recording. Just let you guys know. And I was like, all right. The. He's like, yeah, I caught you going to 80. Go, oh, really? I wasn't trying to be a dick because in my head I'm like, I was going, 74, but it's okay. And you had no speedometer out, but I'll give it to you. And he goes, you know, I'm like, oh, I'm from la, man, I'm sorry. I forgot you guys feeling so slow. And he goes, all right, I'll be back. He comes back, he's like, okay, I gave you at 70. I'm like, oh, man, thank you so much. And I just waited for him to leave. He goes, all right, have a good day. You know, there's no points here in Washington, so it's just a fine. I went, run it. Give me another. I'll give a. And then I'm like, Rocco. I had him start filming from low. I'm like, if you can film, I can film you. Turn a camera on. I'm like, I'm gonna take off right when he goes back to his car, he's like, all right, have a good day. I was like, let's peel the out just to be a dick. And I thought, you know what? I'm already pushing this. I took off fast, but not fast enough for him to be an about it. I just thought it was funny. I was three minutes away from other.
Mario
Annoying as could have been worse.
Thomas Dopasio
I suppose I could have got into jail way worse. But yes, that happened. I got the damn stupid ticket. It's okay. Get to mothership. Let's just say everybody's so cool. Everything is great Scott and everybody, thank you so much for inviting me back to what I was saying. Mothership is like the damn for you got. Wow. I mean, there's a lot of glass artists out there that are very, very, very sought after. But mothership to me is the big one. When I first got in this industry, the first heady thing I ever saw was a mothership Faberge egg. First thing I ever saw from baby my homie baby. And he didn't like me at the time because I was me and some other guy got into it and I was his best friend. So baby my homie that was my wedding didn't with me whatsoever when we first met and I first saw him. Who the is this kind of eyeballs? I. I'm so nice. I'm like, who the Looking at me like that? Who the are you? And I just looked down like, all right, we'll deal with that later. And then we started talking that night, and he realized I wasn't an and now, like, he was at my wedding. So anyway, it was really funny the first time I saw him, like, who the is this? And he was looking at me like, that's that little ass fool. So I was like. I felt it. I was like, this guy, and he busted the egg. I'm like, what is that? And we started talking. I'm like, what's a mothership? And they started explaining to me what mothership was. Like, wow, how much is that? It's like. Like 5K. I'm like, what the. I didn't know. That's before I ever knew. So it's the first thing I ever saw. And I'll tell this little story. Somebody I don't fuck with and talk to anymore at all. Oh, this is all stories, all right. Somebody I don't fuck with whatsoever anymore. The first time I ever met Scott, I brought it up to him, but I know you didn't remember. Was 2014. On my birthday. On my birthday, 2014. Seattle Cannabis Cup. This guy was at our booth. We had a booth. We're doing for Raw. This guy was at a booth, and he brought over a mothership. I'm like, whoa, that thing's got color on it. It's crazy. And remember the buckets that. Like, the arms that slide in? I know there's this term for him. You. Anyway, there's a bucket, right? He has a mothership. He has his whole setup. And he's like, yeah, it's real. Be real delicate with it. I'll light it for you. I totally understand, dude. This is 11 years ago. And he had the mothership. Yeah, it's precious. So this piece of that I used to be friends with brings over this random tall dude with black hair. He's like, hey, this is Scott from mothership level. Makes mothership. He's a badass in my head. And I met him, like, oh, nice to meet you, man. Nice to meet you. And the kid. The kid that has the mothership on the rig, the rig that's dabbing with us is very anal about it. Like, he's like, oh, be careful. Don't touch that. I'll do it. And we're like, all right, that's cool. Got you. It's your. The guy Scott comes over. Scott takes the dab. And the guy goes, be very careful with that. Like when it slides, it slides this way. Please don't drop it. And in my head I'm like, that fool made that piece. But the guy doesn't know. Nobody else knows. This is like before everybody had the face out there like that as much as much I'm sure some of you knew. I mean, the kid had a mothership. Didn't even know who the guy was, right? And the guy's taking Dad's like, please just be careful with it. He's taking a dab and it's sticky. He goes to move it and drops the whole piece. Doesn't break. Smacks a mat on the ground. And the kid, like, just daggers staring at this full Scott, like, picks it up, puts it away. And Scott's like, well, takes off. And the guy's just cursing his name, cursed like that guy. And I was like, hey, I just want to tell you something. And I told him who it was. He goes, no way. He's like, so it would have been fine if you broke it. It would have been fine, bro. He just made it for you again. He goes, oh, well, that's fucking crazy. And I was like, yeah, that is great. So I told Scott that story. He's like, damn, I don't remember that. I've broken a lot of pieces. I've dropped so many pieces. I don't get mad. As we said, I don't get mad anymore. It's already happened. Why make myself sad? 30 minutes later, me and Scott, don't worry, the vlog's coming out. Thirty minutes later, Scott high fives me. I'm like, yeah. He high fives me, puts his arm back, touches the top of the lip of a big ass mothership on the table. He just had shoulder surgery. He only has one arm right now. Flips off the table, catches it, slips out of his head again and goes, bah. Explodes. Like a gallon of milk in the ground. It explodes, pops. And I just go into the corner for like a minute and a half like this. And then I turn around, I look, and these fool's not even pissed. I look him like, I'm sorry that you high fived me. I look at Rosie and Rosie has her head down. Nobody's tripping in the whole shop. There's like 10 people there. Nobody's tripping. He's like, can't get mad about it. Why get mad about it? Already happened.
Mario
Some Buddhist monk shit. You gotta.
Thomas Dopasio
That's why I tried to do that. I would have lost my fucking mind, of course. And everybody goes, at least he Broke it. Yeah, that's it. The piece was this big, shattered. And I was like, oh, okay. Sorry, guys. Anyway, the reason. I'll just. I'll just drop you this when I walk into mothership. And the rest of it, you have to watch on the vlog. When I walk into mothership, there's 15 to 20 plus rigs on the. On the table. All different types, all styles they make. And he's like, hey, so we have all these pieces out. I want you to use them all. I want you to dab every one of them and tell me what you like about each individual thing so I can make you a custom piece if you're watching at home. Noah didn't cut out. That was me just going, oh, what the. So I did, and I put together a zombie fied Frankenstein style. This from that, and I'll take that from this style. And how about this from this style? So shout out to mothership for making me a custom rig. They're making a custom push trees rig right now. I haven't picked the color. I haven't picked anything yet. I just picked the style. I don't want to say what it is yet. I just picked what it's be going to. Going to be. Shout out to them. I'm so excited for it. A Lambo just said, hey, we want to spec you a Lambo and give it to you. Oh, my God, I was so juiced. So anyway, he's taken us. He shows us every piece you can possibly. You'll have to watch the vlog. I'll skip a lot of it. We got to hit these. I can't remember who's the collab. It's like a big, like, Chinese buildings inside. Over a dragon head. Marty, when you edit this, I'll give you the video inside of a dragon head. And we're about to rip it. He's like, this is the first. We just finished this. We're the first people to hit it. Oh, sick. And I'm like, how much is this piece? He goes, I want 4150. Disgusting. Don't touch that. I don't. The other one just broke. I went, get that away from me. So I see this full Scott, take a 0.8, no hesitation. Hot as hell. Rips it. One little cough walks off. What a beast. Anyway, mothership was super sick. I'm very, very, very excited about that.
Mario
So they're gonna film it. While they're making it, I'm gonna. You're gonna, like, do a video.
Thomas Dopasio
I mean, that's just Feeling it. My piece now. I'm so, so stoked for it.
Mario
Wonder when they're gonna drop us.
Thomas Dopasio
They text me today, so we're starting. Oh, I gotta send them all my logos to see if it's gonna be better fume, color or clear like they do. I'm so excited.
Mario
Said it was like a big ass floody.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah.
Mario
Costco like, of just like glass blowing.
Thomas Dopasio
Was it like different pieces? This place is this. This part only does the. The, The. The. The sand work. This part only does the. The wood. The wood blocks that you put your dad pieces on. This part only does that. And everybody does something. It's. It's really cool. Besides that. Real quick, Marty, can you talk about your Griselda thing real quick?
Mario
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This was super sick. This was a really weird little moment of synchronicity that just kind of happened today. So I was just on Instagram and I noticed Benny's manager, Jake, like, he posted something about. He was like, basically saying, none of the. No press out of Buffalo ever shows Buffalo artists any love, you know, and when he's. When I read that, just. I thought of the moment on the podcast where me and Benny were talking about the Buffalo Music hall of Fame and how he wanted to donate a plaque to the hall of Fame and how it'd be cool if he got inducted into the hall of Fame. So I was like, that really should happen, you know, and we mentioned last solo episode that I'm going to be kind of working for BSF and shit over the summer. So I was like, let me see what I can make happen. So then I just. This is called being preemptive. I just went on the website, I found the president of the Buffalo Music hall of Fame. And this has got. This is kind of wild. And I just wrote him an email. I was like, I'm Marty o' Neill. My dad, my godfather, my aunt, my uncle are all in the hall of Fame. I don't know if you remember 2012. I accepted the award on his behalf. I moved off to California. I did my own. I'm working with Benny now. He, you know, and I just made a very, like, very easy, soft little pitch about why Benny and Griselda should be in the Buffalo Music hall of Fame. And then the dude wrote me right back. And then he called me and I got on the phone with him right before I came up here. Yeah, it all happened before I came up here. So he's like, the dude's a professor at a college called Villa Maria in Buffalo. And he's like, we just had Jay Skis come through, and he was talking to students or whatever who's. He's, like, signed to bsf. I'm pretty sure he's with Benny. And he's like, I. I was just thinking, like, man, Benny really deserves to be in the hall of Fame. Like, the. All of them do. Meaning Conway, Westside Gun Benny. He's like, my kids were just. He's like, I got two teenage kids. They tell me all the time. It's all they listen to. He's like, I was just thinking it, and then you wrote me today. And he's like, yes, we need to. He's like, we're doing the inductions for next year right now. And he's like, if they're down for it, we wanna, like, induct all three of them into the hall of Fame and Griselda as a group and give them the President's Award. So there's a big ceremony, induction ceremony, where they highlight all their careers. And, like, the Buffalo News, all the, like, local news outlets and stuff will be there and present them with the trophy that I have on my. Which is really sick for my dad. But anyway, just like that. Like, we just made it happen. Now that I talked to Benny, he's like, yeah, let's do that. We're in. So I'm like, all right, it's next year. But it's like, we gotta start doing it now. I'm gonna make a pitch deck to, like, information doc that highlights all the charity work that they've done because they've done a lot of local charity work and all their accolades to go ahead and put it up for the nomination. And then October. I'll go back for that. I'll go back for that for sure. But it's just gonna be super sick. And it's just like, it was really cool to be able to facilitate that, because coming out of a city like that, like, where it's. So they're the first ones to do it. They'd be the first rap acts ever inducted in this hall of Fame. Yeah. And he said that, too. He's like, this is big for the younger generation, for this to be motivation for the them, you know, to. To try to be something they want to achieve. It's like the biggest stamp. They. They conquered hip hop. They beat the game. When you get that when the city. When the city gives you. Puts you. Inducts you like that, but it's the biggest thing you can do. So.
Thomas Dopasio
Also, Marty's lied This whole thing was made up.
Mario
It was all just for AI.
Thomas Dopasio
It's all. AI wrote that there will be something really cool that I could lie about. You should talk about.
Mario
So oddly, how.
Thomas Dopasio
Epic is that, dude?
Mario
Too sick. Too sick.
Thomas Dopasio
Epic. So, quick, little. Little news thing this summer. I mean, OT's album's coming out very soon. If you didn't see the drop. When I went to the music video today, I was like, wait till you see who it is. It's Lil wayne. All right. OT's song with Lil Wayne's coming out. That's what music video is at the other day. That's so, so, so tight. It's incredible. So OT asked me. It's like, yo, I wanna. I want you to have. I can't say anything about it. There's going to be some type of performance thing. Don't miss OT's next tour. All right. The tour is starting for recess and I think July. I'm gonna be on tour with OT for 10 days. I'm gonna do like seven shows, I think, with them or six shows with them. They asked me to do five weeks and I'm like, bro, I just can't. It's impossible.
Mario
Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
So I will announce everything soon, what dates I'll be on, but I will be with OT and all them on tour. I'm going to be part of the show, which is crazy.
Mario
You're going to be on some blue.
Thomas Dopasio
We'll see. We'll see. But yeah, I'm going to be doing that with a. With ot. And it's real because, you know, all these WME and all these people.
Mario
Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
Bugging me about it. So. It's gonna be cool, dude. I'm very excited. It should be sick. And we're gonna do some stuff for the album, so I'm probably gonna be on that album also. It's gonna be very cool.
Mario
You're getting. Talking about it earlier, getting your IMDb credits out between it's trip. All this. And you just did a video of Cuco, right?
Thomas Dopasio
Oh, yeah. Yesterday I went and filmed with Cuco. You'll see it soon. You'll see it soon. Some promo video stuff for his album, so. And the Churdleys. Dude, that hilarious. The full. The mustache. He was there yesterday, too. I did a scene with him. That was. My scene was with that guy.
Mario
Like a cameo.
Thomas Dopasio
It's a sketch.
Mario
Okay.
Thomas Dopasio
Yes. I'm not me. I play an Uber Eats guy.
Mario
Oh, okay.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, Renee's in it.
Mario
Nice.
Thomas Dopasio
That's cool, man. Also, Ken Flores special coming out Very soon. Let's go, dude. I talked to Tibbs yesterday. His manager coming very soon. I want to give it dates. I don't want to say one month, but it's coming, like, in the summer. I know the date, but just in case it moves. I'm so excited to watch it, dude. I know. It's gonna be so funny, man. I. I already know because I know his whole set.
Mario
We got a live stream, though. We gotta watch it for the first.
Thomas Dopasio
Time and, like, stream it or something. Yeah. Oh, I'm so excited for that, dude. I know this. I haven't heard. There's got to be. There has to be. I haven't. There's no way. I know every. I know his whole set that we do by heart, because I've seen it seven, eight times. If you haven't seen anything from Ken in the past year, this shit's really well put together. That. That butterfly is so well put together, man.
Mario
You worked that joke out on the show.
Thomas Dopasio
On the show. It took so long, and then when I saw him do it in person. You got it. You solved it. Because the comedy, dude, this is, like, one little point could be gone, or one little point can make it all work. And on the show, he was talking about. Yeah, yeah. I noticed that with kimmies. I can see when the bit starts. We were talking about, like, this is a bit. I could see it, but. Go for it. I want to hear it. Yeah, no, it's. It's. I'm excited to watch Ken standing.
Mario
Do you know what, like, platform is coming out of?
Thomas Dopasio
Well, the last time I talked to him, he told me it was of three platforms, but they hadn't picked. Yeah, that was January, though. So weird. Yeah.
Mario
That has that ever. I'm trying to think of a time where that's happened, where somebody passed away.
Thomas Dopasio
And then Patrice o' Neill.
Mario
Oh, his special was, like.
Thomas Dopasio
Pretty sure this. Yeah.
Mario
Wild.
Thomas Dopasio
Very weird. It's gonna be funny, though. I'm. I can't wait to just watch. I'm gonna laugh my ass off. That's hilarious. I. I know. I'm talking about, like, he's not past tense, but that motherfucker's funny as. There's no way to not say it. I know Ken's gone, but he's still one of the funniest in the room. He's literally right there. So no matter who's in this room, that fool's probably the funniest. Dude. I. I go back and I watch the hooker story very, very often. I just like to see And I just went, oh, there's stains. And she sucked my titty and I ate the pizza that said later the baby and I went home.
Mario
Bro was not leaving out any details. Like he wasn't gonna like, let himself off the hook for anything that occurred.
Thomas Dopasio
He's admitting to that. You couldn't pay people to admit for free. Just straight down.
Mario
Oh yeah, his last set, I saw the brand improv was unreal. It was like steam rolling. Like just. I don't even know if he was doing his bit or if he was just going.
Thomas Dopasio
Most of it was that shit's funny. All right, that was. Yeah, okay. Yes. So OT tour coming very soon. Also, is. Is it already implemented on Spotify or when does it start?
Mario
It's rolling out currently, so some accounts are going to start having this right here.
Thomas Dopasio
Hold on. Do it too, guys. Like those, those cake boss. Is this when they know they're cool and uhhuh, we're up over here. We don't say it often, but we're crushing it. Spotify loves us. We love Spotify. Once again, we got some implemented on Spotify. We talked to the president a year and a half ago and I was a little too blatant. Maybe that's why it took a while. But I went, who gives a. Maybe I shouldn't have said that like that for all the dinner things like, oh, you guys are dope as you. Oh, dope as usual. Remember anyone's like, oh, he probably doesn't like our show, but they were actually.
Mario
Shocked by this one. When we called this out, we told.
Thomas Dopasio
Them a year and a half ago, they're like, hey, we don't do views on Spotify because it might make some of our bigger creators feel a little less than if they're not getting as many views. And I went, who gives a fuck? And I went, oh, I mean, like, fuck them. I was like, they should just work harder, do more. Or it doesn't work. It does or it doesn't. And they're like, well, we don't want to make our bigger creators like, oh, they're getting less views and this like, go. Who cares? Year and a half ago, Spotify officially has plays which equals to views. You can start seeing your favorite show's numbers. Say you watch our show. Yeah, exactly. Say you watch a show like, dan, they're getting 50,000 views a week. Oh, cool. Dan, they're at 200 now a week. Let's go. I get excited for people graduating school or getting a lawnmower and like, they have a job. And they do. As long as it's positive. That's sick. I. I can. I could not like you and see you do something cool and still be like, yeah, I do it all the time.
Mario
And it's because, like, we crowdsource the Spotify community. We, like, are like, guys, we're trying to build this up. Like, nobody was on there so much when we first started the show. And to get where it's at now. Where. Especially with the Key Glock episode. I don't know what happened to the Key Glock episode.
Thomas Dopasio
A million views on Spotify.
Mario
Let's go and Spotify right now. But that metric is important because it's, like, for sponsors and to be able to just, like, tap in with the growth. Like, as a fan.
Thomas Dopasio
As a fan, yeah. You want to be able to see that. Like, when I watch Comedy Enforcement. Hey, guys, if you like the video, please drop a. Like, if you liked it. If you did not, leave a dislike. It really helps out the channel. We're trying to hit 100,000 subscribers. You know how many times I've heard him say that? And then when he hit the 100,000, I'm like, I'm hyped for him. Like, you finally did it. Like, you get to see someone, like, progress. I love that. Will Tennis and the other YouTuber I watch just won IBF bodybuilding first place in Vancouver. Oh, he's like a fitness YouTuber. And he's like, for the next 90 days, I'm gonna cut and do the body. He won Super Sack. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. I don't even know that guy. Couldn't be happier for him. So, like, I get people like, dude, I don't even know you're so happy for you when we did the Forbes thing.
Mario
Yeah, yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
Like, yeah.
Mario
Thank you, thank you.
Thomas Dopasio
Because I'm. Thank you for passing it on, because I love that. And when people get juice, you get that person more juice, and it's easier to do it again. So what I'm saying is we've implemented comments, shorts.
Mario
This is like.
Thomas Dopasio
And now views.
Mario
Yeah, yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
And what was it? NBC wants our statement.
Mario
We just sent a quote for M. You heard that, right? NBC as in, like, the TV channel? The broad, national broadcast, corporate.
Thomas Dopasio
It's not Telemundo. I know that.
Mario
Yeah. Gave him an official statement about our thoughts on Spotify implementing this new functionality for their uses online.
Thomas Dopasio
Because last time the comments Spotify put out, like, an article in a blog and all that about Us, like, hey, these are the guys behind the new updates. Like, you guys acknowledged us. I love Spotify, dude.
Mario
They're unreal.
Thomas Dopasio
Let's go. And now they're like, yo, NBC wants you. A statement from the people that did it, and it's you. Let's go, dude.
Mario
Before we started this episode, that's what we did.
Thomas Dopasio
We picked them. We picked what we wanted to say.
Mario
Too sick. Just anytime, every time something like this happens, if you're part of this community, you get. It's a pat on the back for you. And it's like two big Nate Diaz.
Thomas Dopasio
Flexes, you know, we got to do. Go through the past four years and look at all the accolades we have and maybe screenshot them. We didn't print out Spotify show of the month. We didn't do top 10 of the year. We got. We won those awards, and we never even got a plot. We never printed.
Mario
It definitely will do.
Thomas Dopasio
We're tripping. I've never printed out my Forbes. Oh, yeah, Come on. I'm tripping, dude. I didn't print out the picture from the. When me and Ken sold out the improv.
Mario
All those should be on the walls here. Yeah, we are.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, that's the brand improv. Just 600 people, dude.
Mario
Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
Let's go. Yeah. I'll be a little honest. I haven't done any stamp in exactly three months. Today, the last time I did a stat. No, tomorrow, the last one with we talked about the concrete and doodle. Like, when I was doing that, I. I did. I was just like, oh, I didn't feel like doing it. Like, it felt like Ken's the. That asked me like, yo, you got to do this. And like, we text each other. Like, he was like, I don't talk about everything. He's like, fool. This is. That was great. You need me work on things. And this is the new path. Like, this is what you should be doing. From my perspective of just seeing you last night, I'm like, oh, that's it. That's all I needed. And then it's like, last time I saw him, he was talking about, like, I need to come on, like, do a couple dates with me on tour, my new tour. I'm like, oh, yeah. He's like, I'll introduce you to everybody. It's like. And then the Ken passed away, and I was just like, I don't even want to do that. I don't know what happened, dude. It just made me sad. I don't want to even do this. I do. But, like, the level of, you know when you're like, I'm so tired, I don't want to jump, you know, just like, I just won't leave. That's how I felt. Just like, I don't know it. Like, I know my momentum got knocked out.
Mario
Like, man, it's understandable.
Thomas Dopasio
I just felt sad about it. Dude told me to do this.
Mario
He's like your best friend through the show, I would say probably, like it was getting like that and he was really lame. Like, fueling. Yeah, he was pushing you into it. Cuz we were talking.
Thomas Dopasio
Oh, he kept bugging me. He was the one that called me. He's like, fluffy wants to talk to you. Can I give him your number? I'm like, yeah. Like, he's always trying to. He helped me out when that they wanted me over for George Lopez. He's like, I don't think you should do this one or this one. Like he was.
Mario
Comedians don't do for each other.
Thomas Dopasio
That's what we talk about. People don't do this. Ken's a man. And it just made me super sad. I don't know what it was. When I remember I got off on stage, the first set I did with Concrete Them and it went good. I wasn't like, oh, I don't know. I was just like, okay, cool. And the second one I kind of ate and went, yeah, I don't feel like doing this right now. It's been three months. I'm ready, I'm hyped. I'm excited to go do it. After I went to cuckoo show, I was like, I need to get back. I need back up there. I'm tripping. I think I got my 10. Sit down. But I told Chins yesterday, I was like, well, I gotta be honest, like, I just feel kind of sad about it. I just don't. Obviously, that's his best homie. He knows what he's. Yeah, he knows what he's going through, but like, it's the only reason, people. Guys, where's your next set? Like, it's coming. I just been, dude, I don't know what it's been. I've been like, well, I have other things to do. I'll just do that right now. Well, I can't do it yet. I got. I've been making excuses in my head every time I think about. I'm like, oh, I just gotta shake it and go do it on my own and not have somebody go, hey, come open for me and go do it on my own. So now it's like, oh, this is my. That I'm doing. Not just like, Ken's like, yo, it's my homie Thomas. Yeah. I mean, that's. That was so fun. It's a little different. I want to go do another haunted homies. I want to do that. I would love to do Story wars with Big J. I love their show. And Louis J. Gomez. Like, they do a good show.
Mario
Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
I just need to get up more and start talking. And I. I just. You might to believe I. I wrote out a really, really wild abortion joke, and I can't wait to. To talk about it. It's. It's because it's about that, but you don't get there for so long, and it's like the. When you drop the quarter and it does this and that thing and it spins. That's what I'm doing around. And then it goes. At the end, you go, oh, my God, that was horrible. I know, but wasn't it set up really well?
Mario
It's a good metaphor.
Thomas Dopasio
And I'm just gonna do this to you for a long time until I go abortion. It's funny to me. It's NBC Spotify.
Mario
For everybody that was wondering why we burst out laughing when exhibit talked about the dude punching the girl in the face. Because it was shocking. You know what I mean?
Thomas Dopasio
And funny.
Mario
Ridiculous and funny.
Thomas Dopasio
If we're watching Superbad 2, that happens, he goes, oh, you're gonna be like, oh, my God. God. And laugh. Because it's so up.
Mario
Exactly.
Thomas Dopasio
I mean, it's so shocking and jarring. That's why it's funny.
Mario
Exactly. Just for anybody that didn't understand why we were laughing.
Thomas Dopasio
Do people get mad?
Mario
I like, I saw if there was 500 comments, there was like three comments.
Thomas Dopasio
What they say you're just laughing at a woman getting beat. Yeah, yeah, I'm laughing at a woman getting beat, man. I watch stupid watch ufc. It's not like if you punched a guy, it still is funny. He was offering you food as a. As a nice thing. You punched him in the face. That's funny. Thanks. I'm gonna laugh every time, man. I mean, me and my mom joke about it. I watched my dad split my mom's head wide open. Still make a joke about it. We could still joke about.
Mario
She does made a whole podcast about it.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, I made a whole podcast about it, man. Yeah. NBC, what's up? Thanks for. Thanks for being here. Abortion, domestic violence. Cut your head open. It's game time. PlayStation 1. It started working. I couldn't get it to work. Oh let's go.
Mario
Maybe it's got one of those things where you gotta wear it for a while for the winder.
Thomas Dopasio
I doubt that China was like hey, this stupid ass watch we're gonna sell to Americans for 10,000.
Mario
Put the Rolex functionalities in it.
Thomas Dopasio
They just put the open face ap. I don't know what happened guys. I I the day after the cuckoo episode I was all juiced about watches. I stopped like I don't give a anymore. I don't know what happened. I tell you that it's the first time I really wore my in like three weeks. And this is a piece of plastic. I wish I had another one. Or like a Power Ranger.
Mario
Cuckoo's like oh, you really do this.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, he's really into that. Like he is. I like what I realized that I no longer like oh wow, I want to get no you go buy a house and proper day. I buy a house, I'll have no watches anyway. I have to sell them all. I only got them because they hold their value in case they something happens. You know what I mean? So yeah, I don't, I don't know what happened. I don't care anymore. It's a good this fun three years though.
Mario
Hell of a run.
Thomas Dopasio
It was a vacant very fun run. I like them still rarely put them on. So this I I don't know. I did just get a My Space Jam. I was watching my wait My Space Jam the other day hard. Okay NBC, thank you so much. Really appreciate you. Yeah we bong watered our whole rental car. Oh the story. I've told this story before. I'm going to tell it again. I really want to see this AI version of it. If you're a fan, if you heard this before, watch it with visuals. Big steps. Anyway, continue. Oh right now. Oh I like that red. Also right now I got a five foot Homies for life statue being made. Oh around the big huge stuff out of my house. Make push trees versions of it. Omar found a guy that makes pops life size 6ft 5ft. He's making the homies for life right now. And the weed lighter and logo glows in the dark. Oh it's it's like this much shorter than me. It's big. It's gonna be right in my house. You see a plot of lighter super. Yeah everybody that Amazon all these that keep make that also real quick. I was gonna say this right now. I don't care if anybody gets mad homies little homies that you get in the machines. The little Mexican.
Mario
We didn't have those. I know you. I heard you guys.
Thomas Dopasio
I don't know what you know what I'm talking about though. The little toys that will get little cholos.
Mario
I looked them up for like okay, little toys.
Thomas Dopasio
But you get them for 25 cents, 50 cents. You get them in the machine.
Mario
I got football helmets. We didn't have trouble.
Thomas Dopasio
We have those two football helmets and they have called little homies. Homies, right? They're one of the biggest brands of Zoomies now. They're a clothing company now they got little. Little hoodlum. It's cool. Homies. Homies for Life. I tried to trademark it and they came after my ass. They got butt hurt about it. And apparent we came to an agreement.
Mario
They own the word homies.
Thomas Dopasio
They don't. That's why we couldn't do anything about it. But my lawyer is like it's going to be a lot of money litigation. And I go, I don't. I just want Amazon to stop selling my and Sheen. They keep selling Homies for Life. So I try to get trademark. I've been trying to get trimmer for years on it. So now I have a something something trait provisional trademark something. I can't. I'll know it's on the contract. Me and Homies came to agreement that I will never start a brand that says Homies for Life. But I can't trademark Homies because they have. They have the rights of that word. But Homies for Life, they don't. But if we go to court, I'll win, but I don't want to spend the money for it. So stalemate. What does that play that now I have a trademark on Homies for Life. My design, all that so I can starting fucking Amazon sold 40 thousands of those shirts already. I want five bucks a fucking shirt. Suck my dick. That's crazy, dude. I sent him cease and desist everything. They don't give a favorite. Jeff Bezos, man. First I'm ask you for a 200 million dollar loan. I'll pay you back in 400 years.
Mario
It's on you to keep me around.
Thomas Dopasio
That one. Yeah. For real. I'll pay you back. Vampire. Sorry, I just had to talk about that real quick. Moving on on to this story. So this is my first year of college, right? I hate school. I don't like school. Now imagine this. Boom. About 70 pounds lighter, a little more brown, sweaty because it's the summer. And squinting because it's very bright. And there's white concrete in my college for some reason. And it reflects, like snow. Just walk around like this. And I found glasses, sunglasses. My first year of college, I never wore my life. First year I ever wore them. Ready? I have a paper due. I hate it. I hate doing stuff, but I know I need to at least try and get this paper done. So I go to the computer lab. I go to the computer lab, which is like 500 yards off, like the main part of the school. But there's like little classrooms, you know, I mean, like the ESL classes and a bunch of random things. There's a volleyball court, baseball. We're toward the back of the college. I go in to do my homework, to finish my thing before I have to go to work. I just finished class. I'm gonna do this because I don't have a printer or a computer at home. So I do my computer stuff. I had a dog tag usb. It looked like a dog tag. The top came off. It was a usb. Thought it was cool, dude. I kept my little thing. I was like, oh, the dog tag USB thing. I know I need it for school. Flash drive, whatever it was. I don't know what it's called. I had one. I had about half a paper of. I. I can my way through a paper. I'm very, very, very good at writing. Don't know where it came from, but I'm good at it. I've always got A's. Always. It's. Oh, it never makes sense. I'm always just bullshitting. And at the end, I try to make you. I try to ask a question to provoke you to think about what I said. And then you kind of forget that I wrote nothing. It's worked every time, dude. Bunch of. And if something serious, and you go, yeah, you're right. And they ponder on that. I always get like a B or C for not saying anything. I've got A's. When I. When I actually like write, I hate it. So I'm writing this paper like a. Like that keyboard cat. I'm. I'm in the back of the classroom. There's a hundred plus just computers in this room. Real big sliding doors behind me, or the opening doors are behind me, not sliding like the regular doors. There's a little computer lab to the right with, like, it's enclosed. You can see through it in class. It's like maybe 40 computers, 100 computers in this room. There's a class going on of about 20 people in the corner. So here it is, 100 seats, 20 eating up over here. Here's little old fat me. Boom. Second to last seat. Bothering no one. Trying to do my college work at school. Or you, where you can do that. That's why the computer lab is there. You check in with your ID and you use the computer. I plug my little dog tag in. Keyboard cat. I hate it. I'm just trying to. I've never used a compound word in my. Any paper I've ever. If it's a thousand words, you are. It's not your. It's this. Never. Don't. It's. Do not. I'm trying to space that out.
Mario
This is human. Chachi.

BT1 extra space off of a big word, you don't notice it. So I get another space and another space, and the characters start adding up. Thomas. Elmer Araujo. Not Thomas. I'll do whatever I possibly. I. I count the date. 4, 5, 14. I count all that. Every slash. It counts as characters. I've done the best. I've worked so hard to be lazy at school. It's. I might as well have just tried. It's like a guy that can dunk. He's like, what? I don't really want to dunk. How about I get this scissor lift? I'll learn how to do scissor lift. I'll lift myself up, and then I'll duck. You could have just done it. You have the skill. But I don't want to.
Mario
I'll invent a jetpack.
Thomas Dopasio
Thank you. That's exactly what I was doing in college. Like, you're a writer. Just fucking do. I never did it. So I plug my card in. Keyboard cat. I'm there for fucking 48 seconds. And then I just feel someone next to me. I don't hear anything. I just feel someone next to me. I'm like, oh, it must be a weird kid. I look, and it's just fucking sweatpants and the bottom of a shirt right next to me. I look and I'm like, excuse me? And I look at him. There's this Tall white guy, 26, 27ish. Slight beard. Looks like Harrison. Slight beard. Tall white dude. Not shaved head, but like Jeremy Reiner, the guy that plays the Arrow dude in the. In the Marvel movies. I think it's Marvel. Like, a slight flat top. Like he could gel it. Like, not a lot of. I'm trying to describe this to you. He's wearing gray swepts. Like. Or. No, gray or blue sweatpants. I'm trying to remember the stain. They're like. There's dark parts on it. So I was like, damn fool. That shit's stained. Fool's wearing Chuck Taylor conver high tops. A student. He looks like a college student. I keyboard cat. I go, excuse me. The guy standing right fucking here, bent over me, like, looking down on me. And I went, excuse me. And he goes, why are you in my classroom? I looked. I'm like, the computer lab. I'm genuinely trying to do my work. This is this. I'm always trying to put myself in those back in that position that I start. That's why I start to sweat sometimes in these stories. I'll get pissed. So I'm sitting there, I'm like, I'm. I'm doing my work. I'm this computer lab. Why are you in my classroom? Says it again, doesn't acknowledge that I just spoke. Why are you in my classroom? I went, I am in the computer lab. And he goes, this is my classroom. It's booked for my time. Get out of my classroom. And I went, I don't know who you are. Get away from me. And he goes, I'm gonna call the front and get you kicked out of here. Get out of my classroom. You can come back after I'm done. I go, you're a teacher. And he goes, obviously. I go, you're wearing sweatshirt. And he goes, get out of my classroom. I go, you know what? How about this? I'll log my stuff out and I'll leave. I'll come back after. You're the teacher. So I finish up my sentence. I go to save file. Why are you still here? He says that to me as I'm file save. As I look at him, I go, get the away from me. I got so mad. I was like, get the away from me. I'm doing my homework because I'm calling the frazz. I'll call him. I don't give a. And I'm doing my. He's on the phone and he comes and stands up on me again. And I was. And I told him, like, you need to back off of me. You're in my space now. You're not teacher or not. Get the away from me. Get out of my classroom. Like, still saving it. I am shutting down every program on the computer as slow as I can. Looking at him just xinging out. It's logging out of the portal. Oh, I gotta eject my card. Hold on. He's just steaming. I was being such a little. I was being an asshole. Like, oh, I gotta log out the portal, man. You know, I don't want anybody else on it being an. Because he rightfully should I should have beat the out of this guy. He was standing over me with his dick next to me. Like he knows he's standing over a student. He knows he's wearing sweatpants. He knows every. Anyway, there's a computer. I'm screaming at this. Remember this. Everyone has now stood up from his class because he hears me. Get the away from me. And everybody's like, oh, and some of these fools. I know I'm in Merced. I know some of these. I am just so violently mad that I'm trying to do good. I'm trying to do this after school, before work. And it's a computer lab. That's why it's here. That's why I have a car to get in. It's allowed to happen. There's 90. There's 81 computers left over there. I'm in the farthest corner. I'm not even. I. You couldn't even see me. You had to walk over here to see me. I'm not even tall. Anyways. All going long out of the portal. I was just furious. He's on the phone. They're coming to get you. I was like, yeah, I'm sure they are, man. And then this girl, Karina, I know I see her through. I didn't see her yet through the glass where those other 40 computers were. Everyone's at the window, like, when Ms. Trunchbull's getting kicked out of Matilda, when everybody rushes, everybody's almost like, we're gonna fight. And I remember I didn't see anyone for, like, the first two minutes because I was so mad that I was just looking at him and then doing my. Gotta log out. And I start getting up, put my stuff in my bag. And he walks close enough to where I can't pull my arm up to, like, put my bag on. And that's when I lost it on. And I was like, yo, get the. Away from me. You're a teacher. That I don't mean you. And he backs up. Watch what happens. Hey, man, there's 2014. You might. You're gonna have to bleed this for sure. I open the door, I look back, I go, nice sweats. In the story time, I say, because it's too hard to use the f word in 2025. But I was like, what's gonna cut deep right now? Nice sweats. And I just. I let it go. And I can see him go. He went from mean to. Because everyone was laughing so loud. The door closed. And then I could hear the laughter shut. Like, you hear and then you can hear fools like running around like dying. And the door closed and it stopped because it shows the glass. I was like, yeah, this is the start of the story. I get 40ft away from that classroom to walk back toward my, my car. I'm 40ft away. I call the school, the front of the school. My. Hey, I don't know if he's a real teacher, but I just had an encounter with this guy. It didn't go good. It's not good. I just want you to know he yelled at me. I yelled at him. That guy sucks. And like, okay, that's fine. We just, we. He called us too. I was like, okay, I just want to let you know there's about 60 people in there that can vouch that I didn't say anything wrong until he got in my face. I was like, I'm just trying to, just trying to do my school work. I was like, yeah, I got a blue backpack on. My name's Thomas around, walking right here. If you guys need to talk to me, let me know. But I, I have to go now. I have to leave and go to computer. I have to wait for this f this guy so I can go to my computer. I was, I don't have a computer at home. Damn it. I get toward the quad, toward the quad of College. It's about 2:30 in the afternoon, which means there's a bunch of students and someone's 41 year old dad getting his fucking education again. There's a bunch of 40 year old dads that are like, damn, should have that Kid at fucking 14. Now I'm back in college with my fucking son, taking care of his kid at home. Like it's a bunch of that, right? So I'm walking, backpack straps. I'm walking. I get to the quad and I just see that he's a cop. We have a cop on campus. This fool's in a squad car flying over the little, over the little bump to get into the quad. I'm like, whoa, what is he doing? Slides up in front of me, yo, I'm like this, whoa. And I see him, he skids. I go, whoa, this is not a street. First thing I thought, if we're going 25 in a quad, what is so many. What's the first thing I thought was this guy's fucking stupid. Stops right in front of me. I was like, whoa. He gets out you. I go, me. He comes over, he grabs me by my fucking shirt and backpack straps. Grabs me like I'm a criminal. Takes me over to the. I'm doing this. What the. With my backpack on. Slams me face first onto the hood of the car in front of the entire school. I'm in college. It's not like in high school, like.
Mario
Dude, that fool's a badass.
Thomas Dopasio
In college, like, Daniel's a criminal. You chose to be here, and this is what you're doing. I'm not. Not known. People know who I. And I just get thrown in my face on the hood of the car in the middle of school in the quad. See, look at me, I'm sweating my ass off. And I heard my face is on there, and I'm looking like, I'm gonna kill this guy. I'm sitting there like, you know, I'm scared too. I was just shaking. I'm sitting there shaking on the car like, he's a cop. Don't do anything. And I'm just so mad. He's like, you're going to fucking jail. And I go, for what? It's like, you want to punch teachers, huh? You want to be a piece of and punch teachers, huh? And I go, are you joking? Because I just got a call saying you smack the teacher. And I go, I'm the one that called you, by the way. What I called you. He lets me up. He goes, what? He goes, by the way, I'm not going to arrest you. Just want to scare you. I go. In my head, I'm like, so you throw me in my face? I was just trying not to lose my mind because I have hella weed in my back. I got scale in my car. I got hella on me. I smoked a joint, threw it out right in front of the quad before I got there. Go to my car. There's roaches and a pack and a scale and bags. I'm playing it cool, dude. No, no. I'm the only old school grand national looking ass car out. I stand out. I don't need them to go to my house too. There's packs. So I'm just thinking of all that, like, don't lose it on him. I wanted to go, you wanted to scare me, so you assaulted me. I wanted to be. I wanted to get upset, right? He goes, I'm not. I just wanted to scare you. And I go, I didn't touch anybody. I'm the one that called you. How did you know I had a blue backpack? I told you what I had on. That's why you found me. And I said I'd be right by the quad. Oh, oh, well, the dispatch. You shouldn't be fighting teachers. And I told him the whole story, and he goes, I'm sorry. I go, yeah, I know. I'm just trying to do my work. I didn't even know he's a teacher. He has sweatpants and converse on. How would I know he's a teacher or a guy trying to be mean to me? I was like, even if he's not allowed to do these songs, he's not allowed to kick you out of the computer lab. I go, I know that, man. That's why I called you. All right, man on the shoulders. Sorry to do that to you. No, I just want to put some fear in you. I'm like, yeah, I'm in college. Yeah, I get it. Fear in me. I was just being like. Even he was just like, sorry. I could see it on his face. And in my head, I'm like, you're the guy that doesn't tip us. You order every Saturday. I know who you are. That man has ordered me and Ed's over 50 times. And every time he pays with his check, he goes, I don't got any cash for the tip. I'll get you next time. Every weekend or not every weekend. Every Saturday that he orders, I know exactly where he's at. I know just to drop it and take the check because he's gonna do this whole thing. I remember one time I walked away when he was mid dude, and I just walked off, and I was like, oh, yeah, you're gonna say you don't have cash? It's. I just say you don't like tipping. I don't care. Just don't go. Sorry. Don't be a douchebag. And the next time I saw him was like, hey, what's up, man? Yeah, you saw me in the quad. Yeah, that was me. Have a good day. And I gave Ms. Pizza. He never really ordered again, and he did, but he wasn't him at the front anymore. It was his, like, deputy guy, little piece of. Anyway, I wish sometimes I wasn't into drugs because I would have fought that man and not been in trouble, and nothing would have happened to me. Guy assaulted me in the middle of the quad with nothing. He. He. And slammed me on my face. I let him slam me. You think he could do that to me? I would have stood there like a rock. Like, I'm strong. Like, you're an old fat man. Like, I know, but I remember, like, wow, I'm letting you slam me, and I'm looking like I'm letting this happen. That's crazy. Huh?
Mario
This is your wrestling era too, right?
Thomas Dopasio
It was right after, I mean any, I mean, even I'm old, I'm still gonna be strong. When I was just like, all right, yeah, I was just like, damn. Letting this happen. Huh? And I just kept thinking, oh, there's two scales. There's a scale, there's money in it. Let it go. If they want to, they go home, go to my house, they could do something. Something can happen. Search my car, arrest me, find the bags, intent to sell, go to my house, I'm done. And. And I just let it go. So that is a story of a piece of cop, cheap, that doesn't like to tip, Piece of. I don't know what to call it. I didn't even graduate. I went to a JC for five years. I went to a two year college for five years. I'm two and a half time shitty dude. I just never wanted to try. After like three months I'm like, oh God, this sucks. I got weed to sell. I'm out. I'll get it next time. I'll get it next time. I have one algebra 2. Oh, do I talk about this? I'm not gonna do it, but I want to pay somebody to take my Algebra 2 class for me and I'll get my degree and I just go graduate. How funny of the plug. I graduated college a long time later.
Mario
Will they still hold all their value?
Thomas Dopasio
How much? It's still. How much is still good? I only have one class left to get my BA or my aa. That's it. In general business. You know what that means? You don't really want to do this, do you? Yeah, I'll take general business. If you take a general education class in college, you're there for the financial aid like I was. There's no way you really want to be there. When I found out they'll give you thousands of dollars to go to school. I went, what did you just say to me? I'm not gonna even buy the books. I'm a out this. I'll go rent the books. I really, really try for the first two, three months and then I drop out. I just, I miss too many days. They drop me is what it is. I'm not school. Not for me anyway.
Mario
That guy, it would be funny.
Thomas Dopasio
Oh, it'd be so funny. Let me do a speech. I did drugs the whole time. My surrogate was doing algebra 2. I hate algebra 2 so much. That was it. It's the last story. I don't. I really hope these visuals worked. I see the last time I saw my stepdad was like 10ft from there. I told you guys I had to avoid his ass for a whole two semesters. Duck him. I saw his ass. No teeth. Smart as. All right, that was it.
Mario
Oh, we got a schedule update. So the Unrestricted is dropped on Friday.
Thomas Dopasio
Now Unrestricted is always on Friday. This is what me and Marty thought. Monday. Hell yeah. What a good way to start your day. But also Tuesday is the show. But if we drop on Monday and Tuesday, you're waiting five days for any content. When I get it, we only drop it once a week on Mondays back then. And it's six days for any more content. But if it's Tuesday and Friday, three days in between. Three days in between.
Mario
Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
Every three days you get an episode.
Mario
Spread it out.
Thomas Dopasio
That's pretty cool, right? Every three days you get a podcast.
Mario
I like that.
Thomas Dopasio
I like a lot better. And we're not going.
Mario
Two episodes back.
Thomas Dopasio
To back and we're promoting two episodes on the same day Monday morning and.
Mario
Then just not promoting new shift for the rest of the week. Yeah, it's way more sense to do on Friday have something at all weekend.
Thomas Dopasio
We're still learning, man. We're still learning.
Mario
We appreciate everybody on Unrestricted. If you like the show, you're gonna love that about the film one right now.
Thomas Dopasio
Yes. We're about to stop do Unrestricted if you don't know what restricted is. It's Marty and I's weekly show where we can, you know, we. It's like a solo episode except we can actually use bongs and get high and show weed and all the stuff that YouTube would shoot us in chess for. All that stuff. Maybe I have to bleep that. Why do I say that?
Mario
Throw in some ridiculousness style clips and some fan suggestions because we got the private forum cracking.
Thomas Dopasio
Yes, fan suggestions when you sign up.
Mario
Their pictures of stuff that we react to.
Thomas Dopasio
Send us your weed, send us your video, send us clips. And it's. This is more of like, hey, the teacher's out of the room for real. It's night time. And we can watch rotten.com if we also. Have you ever seen a Duty magazine? It's like one of those, like, oh, my God, we're not doing that on the show. But you know what I'm saying?
Mario
Like that.
Thomas Dopasio
It's like that. It's. It's like when in the movie Jack. When Bill Cosby and. And Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson. Robin Williams are making that concoction in the treehouse and they all have to Drink it to get initiated.
Mario
It's like that, but with ball ribs.
Thomas Dopasio
But with ball ribs and not Bill Cosby.
Mario
We've had some good guests too.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, we had some guests on there, guys.
Mario
So some viral.
Thomas Dopasio
Check it out.
Mario
Unrestricted.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, we have, actually. So check out dope. Usual. Unrestricted. Every Friday, new schedule update. Also dope as usual. Podcast.com. all the merch is live. We got a bunch of. A bunch of merch you saw in the double Zola vlog today. It always feels weird saying Dopa Zola because that's kind of like the name they use, but it's just to separate it in my head. Dope as yola. The dopest dope is usually like. And just a little bit of slight change could be completely different. So I get it. Let's get out here. Let's get you unrestricted.
Mario
Appreciate you guys watching. Telling the homie. Dropping a comment, dropping a leg. Getting unrestricted, Shopping for the merch, supporting the guests, using the codes. All type of.
Thomas Dopasio
I think that's it, man. If you need to clean your bottles, hit up hygienics. If you want to smoke some joints, hit up day savers. Guys, thank you so much for being here. I hope these visuals did you in story time. I know a lot of you guys. It's may. A lot of you guys. Like, where the is story time? I haven't put one out this year at all. I was giving it a break. Animated story time's almost done. Here's the announcement. Animated story time is almost done. I got one episode done. Need to tweak it a little bit.
Mario
Somebody actually animating it.
Thomas Dopasio
Somebody actually animated it. I got my character last night. It looks just like me. Weird as the close up. Is my hair identical? Like, it's. He got it down. So good. Shout out to Tad. All the way from Slovenia or. No, from Yugoslavia. Wherever Lucas from.
Mario
Oh, okay.
Thomas Dopasio
He's like, yeah. You know. He's like, you're in la, Luca.
Mario
Yeah, yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
He's like, I do art for his dad for some of his business. Go shut up. He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's from the same place where I'm from. Like, awesome. Well, he's out here crushing it, dude. Animated story time. So this is the thing. It's the only reason it's. I'm just tell you this. Story time, the first one's about my dad biting that guy's face off. It's graphic. It's cool. This is where I have a trouble. He's taking my pre existing story and saying it. I want to go this is not happening. I want to do an intro. Say it's a running for my dad episode the cops. I want to get tracking camera on my face. Me sprinting down the street. Welcome back. Story time lights, cop car behind me just going down the street. This for stage one Anime story time running for my dad. All right. It takes off. Story time starts like. Like an actual intro to what's happening. Also do I take the story from its pre existing. Do. Do I tell it again in better quality? Not as much smoke every five seconds. Cuz it's me animated. And do I like go into a bush hiding from the cops? Tell the story from that shot. So this is where I was at. I was. Hold on, let's come. So my dad comes over and he wants me to move back to Oregon with him. I don't want to move back to work with my dad. Hold on, I gotta run. I'm like make it a video or do I go back stationary in the shot? Just do it nicely lit and do the intro. Like could you imagine that this is not happening style intro.
Mario
Yeah, yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
Me sprinting cops tackle and out of frame. I gotta step up story time somehow. I can't just be sitting here doing the YouTube over and over and over and over again with the same intros. I'm getting bored of it. That's why I haven't done it in five months. I'm bored. That's all it is to it. I know you guys love it. I getting bored of this format. I need to make it cooler. Needs to be more. And that's animation. Maybe green screen me running from cops on a walking treadmill so I'm actually moving. You know what I mean? Like that every story time. Oh man, there's so many story times. Like running near death experience. There's so many things I can think of. Like the intro and go actually put effort into it. Like the reenactment of story time was too expensive. Yeah, it was just. That was like 10 bands I'm gonna paid from YouTube to be. And it got age restricted. An age restricted blocked video for 10K that a few people watched.
Mario
Super sick.
Thomas Dopasio
Super sick. Yeah. Damn dude. Anyway, I would like to do a bedtime story style like the. You ever seen Little Monsters? The movie?
Mario
Yeah, of course.
Thomas Dopasio
I would like to do a TV show like that. But it's not always has to be the bed. It's like two like drunk history. But like two people meet up and a story happens and I don't know how to word it. I'm not over YouTube. I'm over making the content that I was making. Watch the last video I just put out called they let me on the field. It's like three days of my life of stuff we never would shown ever. And it's like, oh, I only show you the smoking bowls. I just need more. I'm bored of it, dude. I'm bored of just another one. I want to do something where my. It's gonna be hard to do, but let's do it.
Mario
Let's just, you know, challenge yourself.
Thomas Dopasio
I don't get paid for it, so it might as well just do something that's more fun for myself. So that's why the reviews have changed. That's why you don't see any reviews like that. I told you guys I was gonna stop doing it when I'm gonna stop doing them for a while. Just here we are. A lot of changes. Dopasiolo.com is coming. The dopas yola merch is almost here too. It's gonna be cool. I've never had my own. I have push trees, but we talked about this before anyway. All right. Other than that, look out for the push treest cookies collab coming out soon. The artwork's looking sick, wild. Oh, shit's dead.
Mario
Forgot that was happening.
Thomas Dopasio
I forgot completely. Oh, last thing. You'll probably see this before it's out. You guys been bugging. There's no way for us to make thca rosin. There's other brands out there that are making it. You go ask them how to make it. You cannot make rosin without heat. I mean, we would have done it already. Yeah, we want to sell you rosin. You can't make thca rosin because once you put the heat on, it is when it converts to thc. So if you got test that rosin is going to test his thc. I'm not getting in trouble for that shit. Don't give a. Go buy rosa somewhere else. I'm not getting in trouble for people to smoke. And I don't like money that much. And that's just a fact. Don't care about money like that. Could care less. I know a lot of people right now in thca world that are sending packs. They're not even sending taca packs. They're faking coas and sending packs. Go for it. I'm happy for you. I will never do that because it's going to come back on me.
Mario
You.
Thomas Dopasio
I'm good. No saying that. Live rosin pens from the dopest. This is THCA and live rosin in the pen and a lot of people. Why you put thca in it? Why could you just do rosin? Because then I'm shipping you rosin. Can't do that. But by law a certain amount I'm allowed to put in here. It says a certain amount of thc. Well Roz, it is thc. It's just a different type of thc. This is a loophole of course, but coming out. It's probably out now. It'll be out next week. Live rosin Hash House times the dopest.
Mario
Is this the first time you've done that?
Thomas Dopasio
Never done that before. This pen. Look at that pad.
Mario
Dude, that's pretty. One of the coolest thing.
Thomas Dopasio
It looks good. Look at the oil. Can't even see it. Rip it. That one. That one's good.
Mario
Oh, it's like clear.
Thomas Dopasio
Rip it. Take the top off the thing on top. Pretty cool, man.
Mario
Yeah.
Thomas Dopasio
Live rosin Mr. TCA so we can legally ship it. Tastes good. Very light.
Mario
Very light.
Thomas Dopasio
Very light. I noticed that. I think it's because it's a different consistency than this. Like just straight distillate, I think. Jesus Christ, Marty. Light, huh? Not as heavy as like the terps on your super.
Mario
It's like, it's like.
Thomas Dopasio
But it's raw. You probably not be able to rip it like you do the other ones.
Mario
Dude, I ripped the out of that.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, you did.
Mario
Not that bad. No, no. This is like more subtle.
Thomas Dopasio
It doesn't. That's overpowering on the taste shot.
Mario
This is like a pina colada sip.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, a sip. It's cool. We finally are able to offer it guys. Cuz I know people. Where's the raw? You guys are hash House. You just. I want to. We just can't. I'm not going to risk it. Also we thought about it on live the other day. So shout out to whoever said it on live. They said why don't you just make ice hash Ros or ice hash and sell ice hash from tca. Well Hash house has been washing our fucking strains for the past month. We have ice hash coming to the site soon. Oh, why did we think about that? I love. I said I love that. I. I have buckets of it at home. I've been smoking it for the past week. Ice hash has a more sedative. Sedative feeling. I feel like gives me sedate. I just feel like more sleepy. I like that. We have ice hash rosin coming out from hash house and the Dopest and live rosin. Let's go, let's go. Yeah. Take care. All right. Now let's get out of here. So I looked down. We're about to leave. I was like, oh, oh.
Mario
Still got hours.
Thomas Dopasio
I know, but damn, that doesn't happen. Sorry I didn't turn down this time. All right, guys, let's get out of here. Anything else, Marty?
Mario
I think that's it for now. It was nice catching up. We got some other guests I'm, like, excited about too, that I hope happen, but we're gonna keep those on.
Thomas Dopasio
Keep those on the delo till they get here. But Wizards is completely locked in. We're ready to go. Hell yeah. Finally. Let's go, dude.
Mario
Appreciate you.
Thomas Dopasio
Yeah, appreciate you guys. Tell a homie, leave a. Like, because the platform that you might be watching this on of the tubes, it's not on our side right now. They're just. We're just. We're step kids right now. Help us out. Drop a. Like, tell a homie that we exist because you're not gonna get a notification. I didn't get a notification for my own channel today. Like, looking at dope's Yola on our. On this channel, it didn't even register. I had to go check if I was subscribed.
Mario
Yeah, we never get a notification.
Thomas Dopasio
