Unknown/Background Voice
Motherfucking mini episode. Mini episode. Motherfucking mini episode.
Guest 1
My only conspiracy is that I think I texted you a little bit, but niggas with high top dreads.
Host
Oh where it's just like it just the dread starts up here.
Guest 1
If you got dreads and then they're tied up top.
Host
Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Host
That is a crazy haircut.
Guest 1
It is.
Host
Because it's like you don't want the foundation of the dreads.
Guest 1
Right.
Host
You didn't do the core of the work.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Guest 2
You don't believe in these dreads.
Host
No, no, no, no. And it almost is like you just want to updo.
Guest 1
Yes.
Host
Right.
Guest 1
You don't understand that. That's fine.
Host
You don't want to crown. You just want to tie it up off top. Which I've thought about. We've all thought.
Guest 1
We've all considered. We all did it once.
Guest 2
Hey, look, we all watched Black Panther and, like, Killmonger's hair until it turned into a bit.
Host
Right.
Guest 2
And then you felt embarrassed and you went, yeah, I don't like that. But no, that's trash.
Host
You guys are both more innovative with your haircuts than I. Because I remember you telling me one time. This was you, right. You had some. It was very.
Guest 1
I'm scared.
Host
You had some sort of technology where you could, like, plug your face in and put different haircuts on.
Guest 1
I did have that. Yeah.
Host
Yeah. What?
Guest 2
Okay.
Guest 1
You could put different haircuts on.
Host
I've thought about it since we've had that conversation, and I haven't found the technology. I'm screaming now.
Guest 1
I spent a day at work looking up different ways I could have my hair. Cause that was. I had long hair for so long in New York, and I got tired of it.
Host
Yeah.
Guest 1
For some reason.
Guest 2
What job were you not working on?
Guest 1
Last season of Guthrie. We had some free time.
Guest 2
What would I look like with Babes 100.
Guest 1
I might have even done the high top dreads back then. And like, yo, what do I look like now? But that technology.
Guest 2
Yeah, but the high.
Guest 1
Different.
Guest 2
I do think the high top dread is an untrustworthy form of. Of hair.
Host
I think it's especially. Yeah, I think. Right. I think that's fair.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Host
And.
Guest 2
And you. And this is really. What you said is it's a nigga who. Who knows he's right about some shit he's objectively wrong about.
Guest 1
Yes. Oh, yes.
Guest 2
It's like the most. I know I'm right Ass haircut.
Host
It's. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think. And this is. And call me crazy, I think as a black man, any time that you incorporate a scrunchie or some scrunchie type technology, that's what you're on.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Host
Yeah. That's what you're.
Guest 1
I don't trust scrunchie niggas.
Host
No, no, no, no. Because it's like the act of like, cuz, you ever seen a nigga put it in is. It's too dramatic. Yeah, that's how like the.
Guest 2
Yeah.
Guest 1
It's like, oh, we're all looking at the hair.
Guest 2
We get it now. Your personality has changed. You've become something else.
Host
I don't need that energy. Now you're going to put up 4 instead of 6.
Guest 2
Keep your hair where it is when you got here.
Host
I don't like a shifty. I don't like a hair tie. I don't like a hair tie.
Guest 2
I don't like that either.
Host
And maybe it's because I have not ever been able to sit successfully pull it off. That might be part of it.
Guest 1
I've never got a picture somewhere of me with the hair tie.
Host
You did pretty good.
Guest 1
No, no, no. That was a bad time in my life. This was when I was looking at the hairstyles online.
Host
Okay. Okay.
Guest 1
Cause there's a picture at Knitting Factory of me with hair up.
Host
Okay.
Guest 1
And I remember Phoebe saying something about it. And I remember. Yeah. Just being like, no, I'm correct. This is a good hairstyle.
Guest 2
Oh, she. She hated on it a little bit.
Guest 1
And rightfully so.
Guest 2
Yeah.
Guest 1
It was a bad haircut.
Guest 2
You made a mistake.
Guest 1
I made a mistake.
Guest 2
And someone called you out and believe them.
Host
Did you have foundational dreads? Did you have.
Guest 1
I didn't have any dread.
Host
Oh, with that when you had the hair tie.
Guest 1
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was trim sides, too. Okay, so it was real bad. Yeah.
Host
Damn. That's crazy.
Guest 1
Everybody was correct.
Host
What were you doing in your personal life? Like, gambling a lot or.
Guest 1
Yeah, it was when I first developed the sneaker addiction and all that stuff.
Host
Like. No, no, that's a man who's taking crazy. Because, like, you start taking those weird chances when you first get money. That's not a lot of money, but.
Guest 1
It is to you, considering how much work you put in and, like, where your life is, it's like, that's the.
Host
Richest I've ever felt is like, those first two checks.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Host
And I've been chasing that high.
Guest 1
Yeah, me too.
Host
Yeah. It's never felt any bigger than that.
Guest 2
And I will say that it doesn't always just have to be entertainment. I remember the first time I got, like, a teacher's salary.
Guest 1
Oh, yeah.
Guest 2
And I was just by myself at 23, making like 47 a year. And I was like, motherfucker, you got it.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Guest 2
This is crazy.
Guest 1
You're loaded.
Host
That's how I felt at the call center. I was like, I maybe have too much money. I remember thinking that, like, what am I going to do with all this money?
Guest 2
I was like, man, I guess I got to learn to invest.
Guest 1
I know when you start thinking that.
Guest 2
I remember even I never pictured myself a portfolio man, but. But I'll certainly need one with this much money.
Guest 1
I don't know if you remember season one of Southside when I was considering investing in vending machines.
Guest 2
Yeah.
Guest 1
I brought it up all the time.
Host
Okay, okay. Right. Because that. Is that black. Because I also hate. Somebody told me that, though it wasn't even my idea. Somebody's like, you know what you got to do? Yeah, get you some. And then because it's vending machines and.
Guest 1
ATMs, supply and demand, everybody needs it.
Host
And they make it sound like it's so easy.
Guest 1
I know.
Host
You just go to a barbershop, and if they don't have atm, you just be like, hey, let me put in my atmosphere. Like, people make it sound that you're like, that's how I get rich. Is vending machine.
Guest 1
Yep.
Host
I got.
Guest 1
It Was certain. I was like, I got to keep it.
Host
I got it. Exactly.
Guest 2
I got a feeling. It's not the bag that everybody pretends that.
Host
Of course it's not.
Guest 1
You make 100 bucks every other week.
Host
Yeah.
Guest 1
It's like, I think the overhead is crazy.
Host
Yeah. Candy's adult. The, like, it's when you get it at Costco and you don't have to.
Guest 2
You aren't able to curate that inside well enough to make it sure that everything runs out. You know what I mean?
Guest 1
Yeah.
Guest 2
That's why every vending machine you go to, there's, like, a bunch of bullshit that nobody touches. Cause it's just, like, nobody wanted that. But that's what you could afford to put in that machine to be able to keep these lights on.
Guest 1
Yep.
Host
It's also like, the plays you would have to make to undercut the pricing. Like, now I'm going to Mexico to get illegal crunch bars.
Guest 1
You know what I'm saying?
Host
Like, the shit you would have to do to even figure out how to make it up doesn't make sense.
Guest 2
And that's why vending machine candy and fucking chips and stuff always feels defective.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Host
Sometimes.
Guest 2
You know what I mean? Like, the lifesavers are two stuck together.
Host
Or their lifesavers is 20, 25.
Guest 1
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Host
You know what I'm saying? Like, that's already.
Guest 1
This is the only place to get them.
Host
You're already hustling backwards.
Guest 2
Actually, you're working with old technology yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't have a nerd's rope.
Host
Yeah. You might as well have a payphone. It's like.
Guest 1
But my thought was to put it in clubs and barbershops. Cause I was like, they don't have. If they had a vending machine. Places where I'm at and I'm stoned and I'm like, I do want some chips, right? Or I do want some candy, but I have to go to the store or there's a vending machine.
Guest 2
Here's why the club won't work.
Guest 1
Yeah, there's another reason.
Host
I don't want to be seen eating Gardenados.
Guest 1
Not at all.
Guest 2
Somebody try to pop pussy on top of that vending machine, it's going to fall on top of another person. And now you got yourself the biggest lawsuit that ever.
Guest 1
That's the problem.
Guest 2
I don't know that the club is an option.
Host
Before it fell, I was breaking in the dirt.
Guest 2
Listen, you were eating Takis, looking at pussy being popped before it falls on top of you. You're in heaven.
Host
Yeah, it's one of those moments where you're like, I have everything I ever need.
Guest 2
This is. This was Miles. He was on to something.
Guest 1
Yeah, he's a gen.

Host
Who said I didn't want Pringles in the club?
Guest 1
Pringles. That's a good one.
Host
Yeah. Because it's not so messy.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Host
Yeah. It's not so messy.
Guest 1
They're all conformed chips. Which, by the way, something's gotta be wrong with that.
Host
Which one?
Guest 1
Chips aren't supposed to all be the same shape. As far as Pringles technology, something's up with Pringles technology.
Host
Yeah.
Guest 1
I think not.
Host
Trust me. I think so.
Guest 2
Yeah.
Host
They came too late in the chip game, too.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Guest 2
I don't. I don't believe that to be potato.
Guest 1
No. There's no way. It doesn't taste like it.
Guest 2
No.
Host
No. Is it. Pringles isn't a potato chip, Right?
Guest 2
I think it is a potato chip.
Host
No, that's wheat. That's weak.
Guest 2
I don't think that Pringles is a potato chip.
Host
That's a pounded oats.
Guest 1
It's claimed to be. Yeah.
Host
I bet you it's got some corn in there. Corn's in everything. Corn's in everything.
Guest 2
Yeah.
Host
Wait, did you find out about the Pringles, though?
Guest 2
I think they are potato chips.
Guest 1
That's bullshit.
Host
What are you typing?
Guest 2
Are Pringles potato chips?
Guest 1
But what requires like, you know how you. Veggie chips.
Host
Veggie straws.
Guest 1
Veggie straws.
Host
Those make me. It makes you feel like you're doing good.
Guest 1
It's not. It's just potatoes.
Guest 2
Okay. The AI overview says no Pringles are not generally considered real potato chips. By most standards, they are made from a dough of dehydrated potatoes, starches, and other ingredients rather than being sliced from whole potatoes like traditional chips.
Host
Wow, brother. So they're Soylent Green. Soylent Green chips.
Guest 2
This is Spam turned into chips.
Guest 1
Wow.
Host
Which also makes sense why it's so delicious. Yeah.
Guest 1
At times, the flavor of Spam. Oh, Spam. Yeah, of course. But a few Pringles.
Guest 2
That's not true. I've had. I've had it at like Filipino, like Musabi or.
Host
No. Okay. Yeah.
Guest 2
But I've never had like Spam the regular people way.
Host
Damn.
Guest 1
It's probably too late throughout the. Yeah, no, you die, probably.
Host
Or you develop a taste and then like six months later, Nikki leaves you. You move back to Chicago. Yeah.
Guest 2
Turns out his life ended.
Guest 1
He just opened one can.
Guest 2
Turns out wet meat is bad for you.
Guest 1
Wet meat out of a can.
Host
I saw him with a shopping cart full of cans. Actually, some old Franklin.
Guest 2
This is a full Franklin Saint. Almost there.
Guest 1
Yeah. Yeah.
Guest 2
