Louis J. Gomez
Come to Story Wars.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Give it up for the Story Warriors. Big Jerry Okerson and Lewis J. Goz. What is up, everybody? Welcome to Story Wars. We are your story Warriors. Big Jilkerson and Lewis. The Puerto Rican rattlesnake, Jay Gomez.
Louis J. Gomez
That's right. That' right. Nate Bar. We're taking over your town.
Tony Hinchcliffe
These people are animals, everyone.
Louis J. Gomez
Savages. We have no papers.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We need papers for sure.
Louis J. Gomez
No, they're going to give them to us.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, how many people here are familiar with the show Story Wars?
Louis J. Gomez
They all are, Joe. They all are. They all are. They would just randomly come to this little tiny portion of the comedy club for no reason at 10:00 clock at night.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, you'd be surprised how many people are unfamiliar with Story Wars.
Louis J. Gomez
One of you guys, one in the back. Everyone spit on that guy right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He's not an. He seems all right. You see you're getting ready to have a good time, everybody. Oh, thank you very much, Alex, everybody. The lovely Alex, our producer, our narrator and producer. We have an amazing panel of contestants tonight on Story Wars. Let's get it going and bring them out here right now, everybody. Our first contestant, you know him from his special on YouTube Uncancelable. Make some noise for the hilarious David Lucas. Or so we thought.
Louis J. Gomez
There he is. Yeah. Yes, sir. And our second contestant, you might know her from Kill Tony. Ladies and gentlemen, clap it up for Valerie Vaughn. They're very slow on the left hand side of the room. I don't know what's happening over there.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Claps. Just stop.
Louis J. Gomez
Valerie Vaughn.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You knock her drink over honor.
Louis J. Gomez
There she is, guys.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Bob and a. I would say, what a piece of shit, but that was a fantastic whistle.
Louis J. Gomez
That was me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I mean. Oh, was it?
Louis J. Gomez
That was me. Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do it again. That sounded better the first time. Valerie, thank you so much for joining us. Our third contestant, last but not least from the show, Kill Tony. Make some noise for the one and only Tony Hitchcliff. Everybody to it.
Louis J. Gomez
I wish they were as excited to see us. Jesus Christ, you pieces of. They barely clapped when we came out here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We got to do this, dude. We should start doing this when we come out. Hey, everyone, welcome to Story Wars. Hose us down with your C of adoration.
Big J Okerson
A bunch of blow hanging out of my nose.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's all right, dude. Showbiz, man.
Big J Okerson
People get here. I'm glad you. Thank you guys so much for having me. You know, I filmed Netflix Kill Tony 12 years in the making. This week it comes out at midnight. I sold out two Bridgestone arenas here in Nashville. But, man, being at Story wars on a Sunday night in the closet connected to Zany's is the highlight, highlight of my week because this is what it's about. It's about the roots. It's about the grits and the gravy of comedy. It's not all about the big Netflix deals and arenas. It's. This is where it all starts, is in tiny cavernous rooms, just like we started Kill Tony in the belly room 12 years ago. So if you guys play your cards right, in 12 years, you can be successful.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'll be 60.
Louis J. Gomez
We're only expecting Jay to live for another eight years.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You want me to make it to 60? Oh, my God. I gotta stop smoking. If you are unfamiliar with the game Story Wars, a quick explanation. Everybody on this panel, including Lewis and I, have submitted three to five stories on one specific subject. Tonight's subject, Louis.
Louis J. Gomez
Family.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Family. Alex. We'll read those stories out one at a time, in no particular order. It will appear here on the screen. If it's your story, you're the only person who knows that. It is your job to fool everybody else here to think it's not yours. If it is not your story, it's your job to figure out whose story it is.
Louis J. Gomez
And for every person you fool, you get one point. Every time you guess a story correctly, it is two points. Once you write the name on the dry erase board, put it in the little slot right here. Very high tech stuff we have. Then that is your final answer. You can't change it. And by the way, we're not just playing for fun. Jay, tell them what we're playing for today.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, boy. You're always playing at Story wars for a book from the Story wars library. And tonight it's a very special one. A signed copy of Permanent Record by Mary HK Choi. Permanent Record is a coming of age story about falling in love when you're still figuring yourself out. Pablo Rind is 20, deep in debt and working the night shift at a Brooklyn bodega. After dropping out of college, he's stuck, directionless and spiraling, until a chance encounter with a celebrity turns his world upside down.
David Lucas
Wow.
Big J Okerson
I really hope I win that fucking buck.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You want that, dude? Permanent Record.
Big J Okerson
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Mary HK Choi. I'm guessing Asian.
Louis J. Gomez
Wow.
Big J Okerson
It's gotta. I gotta win. That is the only person on the stage that knows how to read.
David Lucas
My master taught me how to read.
Big J Okerson
You did? Did. Wow. Incredible. It's your first time enjoying Mary HK Choy or Bach choy because you don't eat vegetables, you fat.
Louis J. Gomez
Yes.
Big J Okerson
More jokes like that are in the barrel. Ready to go. A bok choy joke.
Tony Hinchcliffe
If anybody doesn't have any questions and we're all ready, I say, yeah, let's get to war. Thank you, Roots. Alex. Story number one.
Alex
Story number one. When I was 10 years old, I ruined my family's trip to Disney World by crying and freaking out so much that we had to leave after only an hour.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Tony, you're gonna draw it.
Louis J. Gomez
Tony just wrote N word on the.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So your early guess is David Lucas.
David Lucas
I know exactly whose story that is.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Exactly.
David Lucas
Yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
Well, who do you think it is?
David Lucas
It's between the five of us.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yep.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, between all of us. It could be any one of us. I would say to this does have Tony Hinchcliffe energy. Crying and freaking out so much.
David Lucas
No, I know his mom. She's not leaving Disney World. She pay her money. That's real white girl right here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, that's what I was thinking first too. This could be Valerie.
Valerie Vaughn
I've never been to Disney World.
Louis J. Gomez
I believe it. This is why. No. No women that get fake boobs ever went to Disney World as a child. It's a thing if you have the love of Your family, you don't need fake boobs.
Big J Okerson
It's true.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You were either. You were either not taken to Disney World by your father or taken to Disney World by your uncle.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, I. I feel like this is Tony Hinchcliffe energy all over it.
Big J Okerson
I did. It was my first. I mean, I have been to. I was.
Louis J. Gomez
He is tongue twisted right now, folks.
Big J Okerson
I have been, by the way, a disclaimer. I hate it when comedians do this, but I am gonna give one. I have been day drinking all day with Kid Rock, so. So I'm in. I know I don't seem drunk, but.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Believe it or not, well, if you're going to day drink, that's. You got to do it with no doubt about it.
Big J Okerson
In Nashville, Tennessee. I just.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You kid rocking an eagle. That's what I picture there. Literally bald eagle.
Big J Okerson
I'm. I swear to God, I was directly next to a eagle. In fact, I hung my towel, I went in the hot tub. At one point, I hung my towel on an American eagle. She was there. There's a giraffe.
Tony Hinchcliffe
She was there. Was not what we were all expecting. She was there.
David Lucas
This could be Tony also, because at 10, he was battling a fucking gender issue and he probably started crying because he couldn't put on Snow White's dress.
Big J Okerson
You probably left after an hour at 10 years old at Disney World because you couldn't close the latch on any of the rides.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Otherwise, fuck you.
Big J Okerson
Fucking piece of shit.
Tony Hinchcliffe
David, I don't know if that did happen to you, but I will tell you this is not my story, but I've had to walk off many a ride in my life and there's nothing worse than your girlfriend that can fit on the ride following you off. So everyone knows you're ruining her good time too. My eating has now caused no fun for both of us. Yeah, but I wasn't 10 when that happened.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, I don't believe that. I don't think. I don't believe that black people get to go to Disney World in their childhood either. So it's not Valerie. It's not David. I don't think it was Jay either. I don't think Jay went to Disney World. I think it could be Val. I think it could be Tony. I didn't go to Disney until I was 19 years old. That was the first time I went to Disney World.
David Lucas
Grown ass Puerto Rican.
Louis J. Gomez
Puerto Rican.
David Lucas
Selling churros.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Got a job as Goofy.
David Lucas
It was Val. I don't give a what she say. That's. That's some white parent, bro. And I know Tony's mom and she's Italian.
Louis J. Gomez
We all know Tony's mom.
Big J Okerson
Yes. My 76 year old obese mother.
Louis J. Gomez
Yes.
Big J Okerson
You know her well, Louis.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
I call her Mickey Moose.
Big J Okerson
Ooh, I call yours Dead Brenda.
David Lucas
You can't call her. She in Puerto Rico. She needs some toilet tissue right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, I think, man. I'll start the vote.
Louis J. Gomez
Start the voting. Jay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
My first instance, Valeries. That was my first instinct. I'm sticking with it.
Louis J. Gomez
Val, is this not you?
Valerie Vaughn
I live right next to Disneyland, so why would I go to Disney World?
Louis J. Gomez
And where'd you grow up?
Valerie Vaughn
In Huntington Beach.
Louis J. Gomez
Huntington Beach?
David Lucas
Yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
Nobody's going to Disney. Nobody's going to Florida to go to Disney. It's a great point.
David Lucas
No, shoot, that's.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well then I'm with Lewis.
Louis J. Gomez
I'm going with my first instinct. Tony Hinchcliffe. He's whiny. He looks like a 10 year old boy.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, I'm super whiny.
Louis J. Gomez
This is him right there. He cries, he freaks out. He's Tony Hinchcliffe.
Big J Okerson
I cry and freak out all the time. That's the secret to wild success. No doubt about it. At the Mountaintop, it's just all of us crying and freaking out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It must be so sad there.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Well, this is an interesting conundrum for me because while I've sat mostly silent, I will say that it could be Val, but I'm also getting a suspension suspicious feeling from the other table over there. Now, I know it's not David Lucas because he doesn't cry and freak out at all. But I feel like one of you two may have had a little temper tantrum.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Lewis cried at Milo and Otis.
Louis J. Gomez
Don't be an. I didn't cry at Milo notice. I cried while describing the plot of Milo notice to my friends while I was drunk.
Big J Okerson
I'm going.
Louis J. Gomez
I think Big J is actually a pretty good answer as you wrote that. I'm going. This could easily be Jay. He was a whiny little of a kid. You've told me this before.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I was Alex.
Louis J. Gomez
All of our stories are in.
Alex
That story belongs to Big J.
Louis J. Gomez
Tony. By the way, Tony played this last week in Austin and Tony is very good at this.
Big J Okerson
And I got beef with fucking double points. Shit. By the way, that's some bullshit. I got up 8 to 1 against everybody last week and ended up fucking losing. Bullshit.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. In the rare occasion that my father was kind of forced to take me with his. With his new wife and her kids to Disney World. We got there and because I had no Father figure. I was really girly. And one of my.
Louis J. Gomez
You have more of an ant figure.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. One of my girly things was I was terrified of weather, which you do know that about me before. A bad weather scared the shit out of me.
Big J Okerson
Weather.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
I thought you said leather. I'm like, well, that turned out. Getting over that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Not anymore. Weather, like, bad weather would scare the shit. I mean, Florida is like notoriously just constant, like. So when the skies would get out there, they get like black for a half hour.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Looks like David Lucas on a hot air balloon.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Absolutely. But no teeth in sight. You know what I mean? Just David Lucas.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And it was terrifying skies. And I knew it was only going to. I didn't know this, but we know everyone else knew. It's going to last 30 minutes and then it'll be sunny again. But I had such a freak out panic attack that we were all gonna die in some fictitious end of the world storm that was coming. That eventually my father disappointed so much. I assume that we didn't speak much until I was in my 20s after that, but he. Yeah, we got on the fucking monorail and I remember everyone just being like, head shaky, like, what the fuck? But I was not gonna make it through the rest of that day. So I ruined Disney and in the turn drove my father away.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
I side with your father.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, well, you can all side with the fact that I just had a pretty great round there, Bob.
Louis J. Gomez
God damn it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Worst record in the history.
Louis J. Gomez
This might be your game, Jay. This might be your game. Maybe this is why quickly pull out early. Alex, where are points at?
Alex
All right on the scoreboard with two points, Tony Hinchcliffe. And in the lead with three points, Big Jay Okerson.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow, it feels sweet. Oh, it feels sweet.
Big J Okerson
Wow.
Louis J. Gomez
All right, let's take a quick moment and thank Brunt Workwear for supporting today's show. These are amazing boots that feel like sneakers. They feel like they're. They're pillows or couch cushions on your feet. And they're designed to be super durable. You could wear them at work if you're working on a job site. Genuinely incredible products. A bunch of different styles. They have not only boots, but they have like, other apparel as well, but really great company. I wear my Brunt work boots all the time and I just wear them casually.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, I got the. They sent me the Marin 6 inch soft toe ones, which I gotta be honest with you, I didn't think I was gonna like. And then I put them on. They look much better than I thought. And Also feel amazingly comfortable.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, I got the toes. Waterproof safety toe. Which are incredible. They really. Dude, I'm telling you, they look cool. They feel great. If you guys have to go to work all day on a job site or if you're just working outside and you need to wear work boots. Just such a difference between a lot of these other steel toe options. I've had plenty of boots that are just kind of painful on my feet. These feel absolutely incredible. The comfortable sneakers that you have.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Absolutely. And high quality, very high quality soft toe. Lewis has the safety toe. So they do have both options there. If you're working with some heavy stuff or if you're just trying to be casual with them. Comfortable, stylish. Check them out. They didn't just make a durable work boot.

Louis J. Gomez
Alex, Story number two.
Alex
Story number two. My sibling once took mushrooms and then got arrested for going to sleep in a tent inside of a Walmart.
David Lucas
That's white. That's white.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's why the mushrooms don't make me think it's white.
Louis J. Gomez
That is some white. You're right.
David Lucas
Black people just started taking mushrooms in the last three years.
Louis J. Gomez
If it was my. If it was my siblings, it was my siblings smoked crack and then got beat up by a cop. I would think it was David Lucas, but yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Or Val.
Louis J. Gomez
Val. Are you an only child?
Valerie Vaughn
No, I have a brother.
Louis J. Gomez
Okay.
David Lucas
How old is your brother?
Valerie Vaughn
He's two years older than me.
Louis J. Gomez
So he's like, what, 45?
Tony Hinchcliffe
You son of a.
Big J Okerson
Louis. You invite us here and then you fucking go, oh, look at you.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's how he gets him.
Big J Okerson
Dude, Tony's a whiny. You've been begging me all day. You want me to show the crowd the text messages? Yeah, I'm gonna show you begging me to come. I will show you the text messages. There's Canadians at this festival 15 times.
Louis J. Gomez
Tony says, I'm coming, that I'm not coming. I'm coming. Sorry, I'm hanging out with Kid Rock right now. I can't answer you. I'm Coming. I'm not coming.
Big J Okerson
I thought we were sexting each other. I was spelling it C U M M I N G. That's how much I cap.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. I mean, just so you know, I was third hand living the whole drama. He was like, tony's coming. We're all good. And I was like, breathe easy. Show's gonna be great. He's like, tony hasn't answered and said nothing to me. In two hours, he's gone ghost.
Big J Okerson
I swear to God, one day when you're at Kid Rock's house for the first time and you're. And all this crazy, it's literally a White House replica. It is the most diabolical house anybody has ever seen in their lives. And one day you're gonna be there and you're gonna be like, oh, I. Now I know why he wasn't texting me back.
Louis J. Gomez
Now I get.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, about. In the Wild Turkey Lounge.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. About story wars on a Sunday in a black box. I went to the other, by the way. I went to actual Zany's. I walk into the green room. There's like, like five creepy liberal white open micrs looking back at me. I'm like, I think I'm in the wrong place. There's somewhere else that, that rare vibe of just like people like, there he is. That I've never.
Louis J. Gomez
Tony, are you, are you an only child now?
Big J Okerson
I have, I have a bunch.
Louis J. Gomez
Oh, you have a brother. I've met your brother.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Yeah, I have a ton of siblings.
Louis J. Gomez
Val's got an older brother. Huntington beach is a very mushroomy sort of environment.
David Lucas
Yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
California.
David Lucas
How many, how many brothers and sisters you got?
Louis J. Gomez
I got one sister and she is a. A degenerate junkie.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So she's not a generic junkie, but I don't see Janiece Gomez sleeping in a tent in a Walmart. Really?
David Lucas
How many siblings you got, big J?
Tony Hinchcliffe
5.
David Lucas
So this could be you too.
Louis J. Gomez
I don't think so. All of Jay's siblings are like 10 years younger than him.
David Lucas
Did you grow up in?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Huh?
David Lucas
What city did you grow up in?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Philly.
David Lucas
So Walmart was like a big deal there, huh?
Tony Hinchcliffe
I didn't know there was a Walmart was a thing when I was younger.
Big J Okerson
Walmart is their Gucci. Yeah, Philly.
Tony Hinchcliffe
In Philly. You're probably right about that. But no, there was no, like, accessible Walmart.
Louis J. Gomez
Now can't listen again, for people that don't know, these are all randomly generated stories. So it could be Big J twice in a row very easily.
David Lucas
Val grew up rich I don't think her family went to Walmart.
Big J Okerson
I love that you say they're randomly generated, like you run them through a computer system or something. And it's not just synergy. One producer give us a random story minutes before the show started. They're trying to do their work at the last second. Ooh, are you generating. Cynthia, are you generating the show?
Louis J. Gomez
Tony submitted his stories 18 minutes ago.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, we give it to Alex, she.
Louis J. Gomez
Puts it through the Storator, and then the story Omatron.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And.
Big J Okerson
My phone fell in Kid Rock's hot tub at one point.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, dude, you should sue him.
Louis J. Gomez
Okay, I'm. I'm leaning Val on this or. She's being very quiet. She's being very coy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Valerie Vaughn
This is something that my brother would do, but it's. It wasn't. It wasn't him.
Louis J. Gomez
Feel like she just admitted it in a weird way.
Valerie Vaughn
Well, listen, I know Tony's brother, and I could see him doing this.
David Lucas
Now you're deflecting.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Whoa.
Big J Okerson
That's Donnie. He would do that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And I will say Walmart is actually a big deal in Ohio. Is it? Oh, yeah.
Big J Okerson
We were always more. I had Kmart. Did you guys have Kmart?
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, sure.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, no, for sure there was Kmart.
Big J Okerson
But, I mean, yeah, there was even Farm Wars. You guys have farmers?
Louis J. Gomez
No, I've never heard of it. I'm thinking it's Tony or Val. Tony or Val?
David Lucas
Val deflected. She was like, this is something. Tony's.
Big J Okerson
By the way, I think I truly believe this is Val. Yeah, there's a.
David Lucas
There's a very nice Walmart in Huntington Beach.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I think, Kent City.
David Lucas
They don't put.
Louis J. Gomez
But here's the thing. If we all vote Val and it's Tony, Tony's going to pull so far ahead of us right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Not so far ahead of me, but they don't.
David Lucas
They don't. They don't put tents up in the hood.
Louis J. Gomez
Walmart in the hood.
David Lucas
No, there. I've never seen a tent fully put.
Big J Okerson
Up in a Walmart inside of a Walmart in a.
Tony Hinchcliffe
In a hood. Walmart for sure. He's right.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, but it's Walmart in the hood. They put everything behind glass. They lock it all down. So I don't know. Let me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, I need a tent and deodorant and toothpaste and nail clippers and everything else.
Louis J. Gomez
Val, is this you?
Valerie Vaughn
It's really not me.
Big J Okerson
You think?
Louis J. Gomez
What?
Big J Okerson
Do you think she's gonna be honest?
Valerie Vaughn
Yeah, it's not me.
Louis J. Gomez
Val, is it you?
Valerie Vaughn
I Promise.
Louis J. Gomez
She's smiling right now. She's getting nervous. Ah, I think it's Val. But if it's Tony, he's gonna us up right now. I'm so pissed.
Big J Okerson
It's. It's not me.
Louis J. Gomez
I'm going, Val. God damn it. That was my first instinct. Never ignore your instincts, Gomez. Yeah, all of our answers are in.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I like when you talk it out to yourself. It's hot.
Alex
That story belongs to Tony Hits.
David Lucas
What?
Valerie Vaughn
I knew it was Donnie.
Louis J. Gomez
What did I say? What did I say?
Big J Okerson
The crazy fun fact, Val, is that it actually wasn't Donnie. It was Jeff. And we were. It was a July 4th lake house party, and it was. They took me there. You know, they're all much older than me, my older brothers, 12 years and 16 years older than me. And I was like. I don't know, I was like, whatever. Cool little age 14, 15 or whatever. So I was happy to be at a lake House on July 4th where there's fireworks. I'm not really drinking or anything like that. And the big thing was that these people whose house we were at were like, God, I can't remember. They owned, like, a baseball team or something crazy. And we really shouldn't have been there because we were like three trashy white trash brothers. And I'm like, man, I hope nobody does anything stupid. And my brother ate mushrooms and indeed just left the party. Got somehow into the city. This was, like, away from the lake house. And we got a call saying, hello, this is Sheriff so and so. We got your brother. We have your brother. And we're like, why do you have our brother? He's like. He was sleeping inside of a tent inside of a Walmart. And we knew for a fact that he had eaten, like, way too many mushrooms. Like, two, eight or whatever. The. Like, a lot of mushrooms throughout the night. And. And yeah, then we had to go pick his ass up from the jail hours later.
Louis J. Gomez
Damn.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sleep. Did he end up having, like, a drug problem ever? There was just one dumb mushroom.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, his entire life. He ended up having a drug problem.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And lifelong major problem.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, pretty much. But this was during his sober period. And you know how those sober people do it with a good old mushroom trip. So it's not really a funny story. It's quite depressing now that I think about it. But I only had minutes to write my family stories.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'll tell you what's not depressing. The point you just got, buddy.
Big J Okerson
Oh, yeah, But, Alex, let's look at.
Tony Hinchcliffe
These scores, all right?
Alex
On the scoreboard with Two points, Valerie Vaughn. Oh, with three points, Big J Okerson. And in the lead with five points, Tony Hinchcliffe.
Louis J. Gomez
He can't miss. Can you almost stop blessing Tony Hinchcliffe with such great luck.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Did Tony not almost throw a perfect game in Austin?
Louis J. Gomez
It was great right up until the very end.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Close.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Those I don't like double. I want to talk with you guys. Kind of crazy. It's like. It's like if the NFL was like, okay, for the last two minutes of.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The game.
Big J Okerson
You could get a hundred points. Like, what the is the rest of the strategic game for that would.
Louis J. Gomez
That would make the last two minutes at the NFL awesome.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That would really ju up.
Louis J. Gomez
What are you talking about? You know, great. That would be.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That would really throw things into high gear. For that last two minutes, you seemed.
Louis J. Gomez
A great idea that they should add to football.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Jot that down, Alex, would you?
Big J Okerson
The NFL brought to you by GAS Digital. Have you ever wanted your games to be computer generated?
Louis J. Gomez
All right, Alex. Story number three.
Alex
Story number three. I had an aunt named Cricket. She used to rob banks with a shotgun.
Louis J. Gomez
I mean, I don't want to be racist here.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I mean.
Louis J. Gomez
But every element of this story is black.
Big J Okerson
Totally computer generated.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I mean, this is going to be wonderful if it's val.
Louis J. Gomez
I didn't name Cricket how much. The blackest sentence anybody's ever written.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That could have been the whole story. I have an aunt named Cricket.
Big J Okerson
How much more black could this story be? It's like, yo, yo, yo, I had an aunt named Cricket. She used to rob banks with a shotgun. And all the bankers would be like, oh, hell no. And she was like, here, take this bag and fill it up. Ain't your mama just stole your money?
Louis J. Gomez
That's the only name that would have been blacker.
Big J Okerson
Only slightly blacker version of this story, bro.
David Lucas
I noticed.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I thought rob Banks was somebody's name.
Louis J. Gomez
David Lucas, please just defend us here, because I. I mean, there's.
David Lucas
First of all, Cricket is a southern white name.
Louis J. Gomez
No, stop it.
David Lucas
If you're from the south, you know, Cricket is for white people.
Louis J. Gomez
I mean, moon crickets. It's a whole thing that people say.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Louis.
Louis J. Gomez
What?
David Lucas
You are kind of right. Because Jimmy the Cricket was a nigga Alabama white.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Listen, this could be Lewis deflecting hard because Lewis comes from real trash Garbage himself.
Louis J. Gomez
Don't be that way, Jay. You also come from Trash Garbage.
David Lucas
But what does criminal translate to in Spanish?
Louis J. Gomez
Cricket.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Cucaracha.
Louis J. Gomez
Now, that's always Cucaracha.
David Lucas
I know this shit sound like some shit my Auntie would do, but she ain't did this.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Your Aunt Cricket didn't do this.
Louis J. Gomez
He's like, you know, I got an auntie named Cricket, but she didn't know rob no bank.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Sure. Guilty as charged. On the.
David Lucas
I got an Auntie Cookie. I don't got an auntie.
Big J Okerson
Black ants and crickets both make noise in movie theaters, so.
David Lucas
And if I would have wrote this, it would have been a N T. Because that's Ant Cricket, not Aunt Cricket. That's white Aunt Cricket.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, Aunt's black.
David Lucas
No, it's not ant. Anti.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, Auntie.
Louis J. Gomez
Auntie Cricket.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, I don't know Auntie.
David Lucas
I've always heard black or auntie. We say auntie or auntie, not Aunt.
Louis J. Gomez
I mean, there's. If this is. This is the craziest story ever. There's no way that's Belle doesn't have an Aunt Cricket.
David Lucas
What's your auntie's name? How many aunties you got?
Valerie Vaughn
I have Auntie Amber.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay.
Valerie Vaughn
I have my Aunt Lee, Aunt Sapphire.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Are they all strippers?
Valerie Vaughn
I don't know. I have a lot.
Louis J. Gomez
Aunt Destiny, my Aunt Shaniqua.
David Lucas
Any of your aunts start with a C? No, because I'm just trying to see where Cricket would derive from. Like, why would you call her Aunt Cricket?
Louis J. Gomez
It.
Big J Okerson
Well, maybe she had, you know, a little. A little, like, flincher. What do you call it? A tick. Little cricket tip.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, she rubbed her legs together and had those inner thigh brown. You know what I mean?
David Lucas
Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
David Lucas
She make a lot of noise at night.
Big J Okerson
You got to lick it before you, Cricket.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. When a fat person wears corduroys, they sound like crickets.
Big J Okerson
Oh, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Just zipping down the street. I learned that lesson young.
Big J Okerson
Yep. Yep.
David Lucas
I feel like there's some redneck.
Louis J. Gomez
There's no rednecks up here either.
David Lucas
I feel like James from Philly. He can have, like.
Louis J. Gomez
It's not a redneck. What are you talking about?
Big J Okerson
Feels black neck to me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, yeah. It was more that little Jew neck. Little black neck.
David Lucas
All my aunties are established women that have never been to jail.
Big J Okerson
What about your Uncle Charles?
Louis J. Gomez
Charles.
David Lucas
Charles.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You miss your Uncle Charles?
David Lucas
Oh, Charles.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. This is David.
David Lucas
This is not.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Super fun conversation, everybody.
Louis J. Gomez
That was the shortest round we've ever done in the history of the show.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We dragged it out a little bit. Honestly.
Louis J. Gomez
We made some jokes. Big J. That's a ridiculous answer, bro.
David Lucas
This is not. You about to be mad that a Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Tony says Val.
Louis J. Gomez
Tony. Tony says Val. Last second.
Big J Okerson
Yep. I don't know much about Val, but I know that you guys don't have real families at all. And I'm going about here just by process of elimination.
David Lucas
And Tony knows all my family.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I might have an aunt used to rob banks.
David Lucas
Please get answer. I can't wait to hear this, Alex.
Louis J. Gomez
All of our stories are in. I think Tony's right.
Big J Okerson
Yep, I'm right.
Alex
This story belongs to Valerie Fine.
Louis J. Gomez
What is happening right now?
Tony Hinchcliffe
He's good.
Valerie Vaughn
He's really good.
David Lucas
I told you that wasn't me.
Louis J. Gomez
N bel, you have a black aunt.
Valerie Vaughn
This was my great aunt that my parents never let me meet. But she used to rob banks. She was a heroin addict and she would rob banks with her best friend. Her friend drove the VW Bug as the getaway car and she would go in with the shotgun.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Thelma and Cricket crime spree together.
Louis J. Gomez
Oh my God. That is fucking crazy. I'm sorry, David. We were all very racist just now. I'm really. I feel like we really. We really were out of pocket in a lot of ways, man.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I thought we.
David Lucas
I thought it was me from the beginning. Y' all read this shit. You like it gotta be black.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We were flat out killing. We were killing. Time to give this show a little stretch. Let it. Let's lay in each story I started laughing.
David Lucas
I'm like, this is not my aunt. I wish. I wish I had a gangster ass aunt like this.
Big J Okerson
Right.
Louis J. Gomez
I want to just formally apologize to all the black people watching at home.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Where's my camera?
Louis J. Gomez
To the two black people that are here in the audience. Thank you guys very much.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm David's family. Who is here watching the show.
Big J Okerson
Those are the two black people.
Tony Hinchcliffe
His own crickets here.
Big J Okerson
Those are the two block.
David Lucas
My. My grandparents named all their sip. All their kids something that would be hireable.
Big J Okerson
Yeah, I love that, you guys. That's how many black friends Big J and Lewis has where it's like, oh, cricket's a black name. It's like, like, it's like it's Javante or something. Oh, Aunt Javante.
Louis J. Gomez
It just sounds like a. It sounds like a racist name that a white person would call a black person.
Big J Okerson
Exactly.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I started comedy in the black circuit and I worked with a lot of Crickets.
David Lucas
There's actually a wing restaurant in Atlanta called JR Crickets. It's really good.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Nice. Yeah, I'm there this weekend. I'll check it out.
Big J Okerson
Hell yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
David can tell you where every Wing restaurant in the country is.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
David Lucas
Shut the fuck up with that dumb ass mustache. You look like Tyler Perry. Presents Puerto Rico. That's stupid.
Louis J. Gomez
You look like Tyler Perry.
David Lucas
That wasn't that good.
Louis J. Gomez
It was okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It was pretty good. Because Lewis doesn't know what Tyler Perry looks like.
Louis J. Gomez
You all kind of look.
David Lucas
You know what Lewis actually looked like? He looked like one of them 1940s circus strongmans.
Tony Hinchcliffe
If you notice his hat off, you know the.
David Lucas
That pick up the weights with the circles on the outside. Lewis, the strongest man in the world.
Tony Hinchcliffe
If Lewis. If Lewis wore one like one of those one strap singlets.
David Lucas
I feel like this is what white people thought Tarzan looked like 50 years ago.
Louis J. Gomez
You know what you look like? You look like Big J Shadow.
David Lucas
That was not good.
Louis J. Gomez
It wasn't that good. Fuck.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I've also lost substantial weight.
Louis J. Gomez
You have lost.
David Lucas
You fucking proud boy.
Louis J. Gomez
That wasn't that good.
Big J Okerson
Welcome to another episode of that Wasn't that Good. With Lucas J. Gomez and David Lucas going back and forth, forth. It's unbelievable. Only at the room connected to zany.
Louis J. Gomez
The room connected to Zany.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, I feel y' all should just.
David Lucas
Change the name of this show to a black show called that Ain't Me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Damn. Trademark that, Alex. Jot that down. We have to trademark that before a black person steals this show.
David Lucas
That Ain't Me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That Ain't Me is such a better name than Story Wars. Please, God. Next week it's gonna be on the BTC by the URL. Right now.
David Lucas
That Ain't Me.
Louis J. Gomez
Val cleaned up. Tony pulled ahead even more. Alex, where are our points at?
David Lucas
Is Tony ahead?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, a lot now.
Alex
All right.
David Lucas
Normally he's behind.
Big J Okerson
Hey. Oh, you son of a. Son of a.
David Lucas
Right.
Big J Okerson
Wow.
David Lucas
What's the next story?
Big J Okerson

David Lucas
My credit score is terrible. I'll be paying so much money for.
Tony Hinchcliffe

Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm getting nervous. Tony's pulling far ahead right now, and I want this book. I don't know if you know this, but Liana Smart is an intentional pop star with Millions of followers and a carefully, carefully curated life. When she walks into Pablo store in the middle of the night, he doesn't expect her to talk to him. But she does. And their instant connection pulls him into a fast paced romance that blurs the line between fantasy and reality.
Big J Okerson
Buy my book. I marry HK Choi. I sign it and everything. Buy my book. It's so good.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, you've seen her interviews? I see. You guys might not know because you're racist, but that was a dead on impression of Mary HK Choi. Maybe the best in the business.
Big J Okerson
I sign it and everything.

David Lucas

David Lucas
Y' all been fooled once already? No, don't start looking at me. Y' all thought I had an aunt. Creek, you can.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I tell you my first feeling on this? Lewis, don't be that way. I think it's Lewis.
Big J Okerson
The cap of my pen cannot come off fast enough.
Louis J. Gomez
We. Hold on. Don't just start voting, you psychos.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What are you doing?
Big J Okerson
You don't want to vote. Huh?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Talk it out. Talk it out.
Louis J. Gomez
I was raised Catholic. We don't cremate our family members. We bury them. That's just wasting.
Big J Okerson
You're wasting afford that.
Louis J. Gomez
You're wasting your votes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
They jumped in quick.
Louis J. Gomez
They jumped in quick. You guys are idiots. All of you. It's too late to change your votes now. You've wasted your votes. We don't cremate any of our family members. They are all buried. Literally. Am I lying? My aunt, my grandma and soon to be my. Or. I'm sorry. My great. My great grandma, my mother and soon to be my aunt all in the same hole. I swear to God.
Tony Hinchcliffe

Big J Okerson
They'Re all in this same.
Louis J. Gomez

Louis J. Gomez
There's somewhere. Somewhere in Rockland County, New York, is my great grandmother Rose and my mother. They're in the same plot. My aunt. I'm gonna give my aunt a headstone on her own plot because she wants it. She's like, no, just bury me in that plot. Not happening.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Throw me in the hole.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Keep me in a shoebox in your house.
Louis J. Gomez
My father.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No.
Louis J. Gomez
My dog is in a shoebox in my house.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You keep talking this. You keep talking this out. Who do you think.
David Lucas
Why did you burn your dog?
Louis J. Gomez
I don't know. Give me a second here. I'm thinking it's probably David Lucas to me. What'd you say?
David Lucas
Why'd you burn your dog but not burn the dog?
Louis J. Gomez
Because you cremate the dog. You don't bury the dog. That's crazy.
Valerie Vaughn
Some people consider their dogs family members, not Lewis.
Louis J. Gomez
That is true. That's a good point. But I wouldn't. That'd be crazy. No, Only A dumb white would think their dog is a family member, not me. No, no, I'm sorry. Not that you're. But that is a very dumb white mentality. No, that's not my family member. I don't think it's. Jay. I keep. I keep at this seems like a David Lucas thing or maybe a Tony Hinchcliffe thing.
Big J Okerson
Well, you're in for a special treat.

You. My mom's dead body. Break out his mom's dead body.
David Lucas

Louis J. Gomez
I'm going, David Lucas.
Tony Hinchcliffe
David Lucas.
Louis J. Gomez
David Lucas.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That lets me know it's you. You're just whipping, bro.
David Lucas
You know, black people have funerals. We always have fish fries to bury our relatives.
Louis J. Gomez
They do, but black people, they don't cremate, do you?
David Lucas
No.
Big J Okerson
They have fish fries.
David Lucas
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
Man, you must have been to a lot of funerals.
Tony Hinchcliffe
David used to be a funeral dj.
David Lucas
Wicked.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wicked.
Louis J. Gomez

David Lucas
People burning.
Tony Hinchcliffe
They got to burn some time.
Louis J. Gomez
I'm not burning time. You guys all wasted your vote. You're. You guys are all fools.

Big J Okerson

Louis J. Gomez
Alex, where are our points? I'm sorry. Whose story is it?
Alex
That story belongs to David Lucas.
Louis J. Gomez
I told you it was David Lucas. God damn it.
David Lucas
Yes, sir.
Louis J. Gomez

David Lucas
I put my daddy in a Jordan box.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What year?
David Lucas
I cre. I cremated him. I put him in a Jordan 11 box.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Nice. That's what I just guessed.
David Lucas
He died and his ex wife didn't want to give up their insurance information. So they called me and I was like, this nigga was not in my life enough for me to pay for a funeral. And the funeral home told me that a cremation was 3,500 with the chapel rental. And I said, sign me up for that. We had a big picture of the nigga in his heyday, and the ashes was already delivered to my house. And my mom said, what you want to do with him? I said, put him in one of them shoeboxes and put that nigga in the garage with my favorite car so he can make sure don't nobody steal it. And that's the truth. He's in my garage right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Louis J. Gomez
God damn it. You idiots.
David Lucas
You almost voted for me.
Louis J. Gomez
I was right there. I changed it. Sony.
David Lucas
At the last minute, I said. Because I said black people don't wear shoeboxes.
Louis J. Gomez
It's true.
David Lucas
Which I was mad I had to waste the shoebox.
Louis J. Gomez
He was furious. I was mad for you, David. I gotta be honest with you now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Those 11, I almost put them in.
Big J Okerson
A Pringles can sometimes. David, to connect with his father. You can't tell he's wearing a jacket, but he dips his elbows in the ashes before he goes out sometimes.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Explains it. That explains it.
Big J Okerson
Ashes on his black elbows. Oh, look, we lost here. There we go. You can't handle it. Can't handle it. Get out of the kitchen. There goes Aunt Cricket, everybody.
Tony Hinchcliffe
She's either angry or she has to. She has remind her she. She has to go lotion her elbows. So go fuck.
David Lucas
That reminds me, how many points I got now?
Louis J. Gomez
Fuck me, Alex.
Alex

Tony Hinchcliffe
You flew here for this.
Alex

Well, all right.
Louis J. Gomez
We're at the halfway point.
Big J Okerson

Tony Hinchcliffe
You know, we're gonna cremate you and put you in David's garage right next to the old man in a pair of chucks. Oh, listen, I know a lot of us, most of us probably feel like we're out of this game. You're feeling pretty low about yourself, Lewis. You particularly.
Louis J. Gomez
I feel like.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You feel like. But you know better than anybody, you're not out of this game. You're not out of this game at all.
Louis J. Gomez
Not at all.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Because for the final four stories.
Big J Okerson
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think it should be. How many you think it should be? The final two stories.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Now, we've pulled people and the people have decided that for the final four stories, we thank you. Roots.
Louis J. Gomez
Roots. People love it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Black Thought and the boys.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, we hire the Roots, but they don't. They can't play. They don't appear on camera.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That costs more. But they're over there every time. Questlove.
Louis J. Gomez
David's really looking. This is the world that he lives in. That. That could be a possibility.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No. Nope. Don't look too hard. But that just means simply, whereas if you fooled somebody on your story before, you got one point, and if you guessed the correct story, you got two points. Now that goes to double points.
Big J Okerson
Now. Now.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, Tony, it's anybody's game still. No.
Big J Okerson
I could.
Louis J. Gomez
In fact, I don't even care about the first half. Who gives a shit?
Tony Hinchcliffe
This is what happened to you last time. Yes, you were kicking ass until double points.
Louis J. Gomez
You were even way. You were way further ahead last time. Tony hates double points.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We'll be right back after this commercial break.
Louis J. Gomez
Tony doing a little dog. Tony's a chihuahua.
Big J Okerson
If I was a Chihuahua, you know, who would want to eat Me, Mary, HK Choi.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No. But I'll tell you what. In between puppy jerky, this girl's throwing down a nice book.
Louis J. Gomez
Hell yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Alex, story number five.
Alex
Story number five. My grandfather was sent to jail for robbing a bank. He died months after getting paroled.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Okay. Dare I say probably? Val. It turns out David comes from fine, upstanding, fantastic African American people. And Valerie comes from a bunch of unscrupulous pieces of shit.
Louis J. Gomez
We have two bank robbers on the panel. Could be from the same family. Now, that would be impossible.
Valerie Vaughn
I wouldn't have done two of the same. The same thing like that. No.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Unless you had two amazing stories of criminal. Nope.
David Lucas
No, I know exactly who this is.
Louis J. Gomez
Who?
David Lucas
This is Tony. And you want me to tell you why?
Louis J. Gomez
He does have some, like, mob ties in his family, right?
David Lucas
Bro, his. Tony's daddy is.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Is a real garbage man.
David Lucas
No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is. I. I know Tony enough. And Tony's car in high school was blacker than mine that drove like a Caprice or some. I drove a Honda.
Louis J. Gomez
I mean, Tony, you've talked about your father or your family having mob ties, right?
Big J Okerson
Yeah, yeah, but not anymore. But for a long time he got out. Yeah. It's it. It in. Yeah.
David Lucas
Tony grew up blacker than me, bro.
Big J Okerson
And the way things ended up, it's not like the. The 90s anymore. The way things ended up, it's hard to keep up, you know? A true mafia racket nowadays. The FBI really cracked down on it when it became glorified.
Tony Hinchcliffe
So everybody just went their own ways. Well, interesting.
David Lucas
Do you know about Youngstown?
Tony Hinchcliffe
He goes, well, dude, the heat's coming down, huh?
David Lucas
Do y' all know about Youngstown, Ohio? Yeah, it's like the halfway point between Detroit and New York. That's where, like, gangsters would go, set up houses.
Big J Okerson
And Chicago in New York and Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
David Lucas
So it's like the halfway point.
Louis J. Gomez
It's halfway point between everywhere.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
Midwest and the Main Freeway. Interstate 80, slash 70.
David Lucas
Youngstown is making a lot of rap songs, bro. This is definitely 1000%.
Louis J. Gomez
If it's Val again, I'm going to be so pissed because David's convincing me that it's Tony. I know it's not Big J for a fact.
Big J Okerson
How do you know that?
Louis J. Gomez
It's because I would have heard this story. There's no way Jay would hide something.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Like this unless I was ashamed. Until tonight. Sorry, Pop. Pop, the world's gotta know.
Big J Okerson
Did you have a grandfather, Louis? I know you didn't have a father.
Louis J. Gomez
I had two Grandfathers, Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, but you know what he means.
David Lucas
My.
Louis J. Gomez
My father's father was, like, straight up Puerto Rican from Patterson, New Jersey.
Big J Okerson
Ew.
Louis J. Gomez
Never.
David Lucas
But it can also be Val. She's quiet as right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
Val. Val hasn't said a goddamn thing.
David Lucas
Val is. When did your grandfather die?
Valerie Vaughn
Well, one of them died before I was born, and the other one died.
Big J Okerson
Months after getting paroled.
Valerie Vaughn
The other one died or left.
David Lucas
What kind of job did your grandfather have?
Valerie Vaughn
I don't know. He's the drug addict. And then my dad.
Louis J. Gomez
How did he get money for those drugs, Val?
Valerie Vaughn
Huh?
Louis J. Gomez
How did he get money for those drugs?
Valerie Vaughn
I don't. I don't know.
Louis J. Gomez
How's acting Strange as I want to believe this, I don't believe that Val would be enough to put in two bank robber stories. That's crazy.
Valerie Vaughn
I wouldn't.
Big J Okerson
There's no way she could be that retarded with tits like that.
Valerie Vaughn
Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No way.
Louis J. Gomez
But I feel like Tony's kind of deflecting it on Tavel right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. I mean, I'm so confident.
David Lucas
I've been knowing Tony for, like, seven years.
Big J Okerson
All right, geez. Why don't you just fucking tell him that I accidentally told you the story once or something? Jesus Christ, David. My God. Double boys. You guys start bringing up my genealogical line up here. The grandfather, there it is. There's his prison sentence.
Louis J. Gomez
I mean, I think it has to be. It has to be Tony. First instinct.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He was a drug addict. My grandfather was a drug addict.
Louis J. Gomez
She said, well, no, you're gonna regret this, Jay. If it's Val and she pulls ahead of everybody right now, that would be hilarious.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm gonna go, Val.
Louis J. Gomez
Jay's going, val, I think this is.
Big J Okerson
A bad guess, but we caught you on the camera. It wasn't me, David.
David Lucas
Tony says, david, I did come from. You ever seen the movie American Gangster?
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah.
David Lucas
That's my great uncle.
Louis J. Gomez
What?
David Lucas
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Denzel Washington.
Louis J. Gomez
Frank.
Big J Okerson
Luke.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Congratulations, dude. That explains your meteoric rise to success.
David Lucas
No, Frank Lucas. Frank Lucas. The story about the story. Denzel. Frank Lucas is my great uncle.
Louis J. Gomez
That's crazy.
David Lucas
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh. I mean, it is awesome, but it's not as awesome as Denzel Washington. That's. I kind of built my emotions around that. It was Denzel Washington. I thought I was one degree of Kevin Bacon from Denzel Washington.
Big J Okerson
I have a question, Louis. If. What's double. What do you get for double zero?
Louis J. Gomez
What are you. For double zero? You get two times zero is zero.
Big J Okerson
Alex, whose story was that? Come on, dude, I'm sorry. I'll let you guys.
Louis J. Gomez
You. Tony, I hate it when people do that on my show.
Big J Okerson
I didn't mean to do that. I hate it when people host it. You go ahead, Zero, boy.
Louis J. Gomez
Two times zero.
Big J Okerson
Call for it.
Louis J. Gomez
Two times zero is zero. But Alex, whose story was that?
Big J Okerson
You've heard of Zorro? You're zero. You need to wear like one of those gay masks. Can we get. Can someone take off? Can we. Sir, you look like Fat the fat man. Can you look like you're wearing black socks? Do you mind taking off one of your socks and making eye holes? And we can wrap it around Lewis's face and call him zero for the rest. Does that sound like fun?
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, you're right, Tony. I did have zero points. Alex, whose story is that?
Alex
That story belongs to Louis J. Gomez.
Big J Okerson
You son of a bitch. You son of a bitch.
Louis J. Gomez
And guess what that round is worth. Double points. Oh, no. So guess. Just guess who just took the lead, bitch. Guess who.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Guess. Guess. Guess. Guess.
Big J Okerson
Guess who just took the lead.
Louis J. Gomez
Computer generated.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What?
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You just never said this before.
Louis J. Gomez
No, I never said it before. My mother's father. What's funny is I was gonna start stuttering because I said my father's father, and then everyone just moved on but my mother's father. I met him one time in his life. He was in jail my entire childhood because he robbed a bank. And then he got out visit us for Christmas one year. And he died like a month after that.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow, that was an awesome.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, he was a badass guy, man.
Big J Okerson
Spen most real ass dude.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
And this was the non Puerto Rican.
Louis J. Gomez
This is the non Puerto Rican. This is the white grandfather.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Wow.
Big J Okerson
Even the whites in your bloodline were weak.
Louis J. Gomez
Yep.
Big J Okerson
Unbelievable.
Louis J. Gomez
And. And I have no idea where he's buried.
Big J Okerson
He's actually the ultimate. You in a shoebox.
Louis J. Gomez
Alex, where are our points at? Oh, I love the sound of this double. It's. I do kind of have double zeros, like one zero on top of the other zero.
Big J Okerson
Oh, my God.
Louis J. Gomez
Pretty sick dude.
Alex
On the scoreboard. In last place with three points, Big J. Okerson.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's. Dude, that's wild. At one point in this game, Lewis said, tonight's your night, dude.
Alex
In fourth place with four points, David Lucas. In third place with five points, Valerie Vaughn. In second place with seven points, Tony Hinchcliffe.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What a shift.
Alex
With eight points, Louis J. Gomez.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Motherfuck.
Louis J. Gomez
Oh, that felt so fucking good. Oh, I was out of it. Now I'm back in it. Wow, what a. What a roller coaster ride. This game Is.
Big J Okerson
Well, yeah, if the hill was at the end because it fucking double points. Okie dokie.
Louis J. Gomez
All right, guys, let's take a quick moment and thank yocratum.com for supporting today's show. We love Yo Kratom Home. Home of the 60 kilo. A kilo kratom. It's incredible. That's 1.1 pounds, Jay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
2.2.
Louis J. Gomez
Oh, that's right. You. I forgot that we're doing double points.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Double pounds.
Louis J. Gomez
Double pounds.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Double pounds of Kratom, everybody. Double pounds. It looks like if you order a kilo kilo of Kratom, you're going to get double pounds.
Louis J. Gomez
Double pounds.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Thank you, Roots.
Louis J. Gomez
Well, look, if you're in the market for Kratom, you got to get it from your creative. The market sponsors for everything here at Gas Digital and for Skank Fest, longtime supporters of all the shows that we do. So if you're in the market already, support the company that supports us. Yo, kratom.com. all right, where were we? Alex, story number six.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Am I in last place?
Alex
Story number six.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I started off so good.
Alex
My sibling and I lived in a broken Winnebago. We would push it from one side of the street to the other for street cleaning.
Big J Okerson
Well, Big. Why don't you just sign it Big J Oker.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's crazy.
Louis J. Gomez
Sincerely, Big J. O sure this is not. Jay's never lit too late.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He didn't take his finger off you.
Louis J. Gomez
He did. He took his finger off it. You can't change it once your fingers out. That's a crazy vote. Jay lived. All of his siblings are younger than him. This is.
Big J Okerson
You guys don't know as much about each other as you think. He didn't think that you had.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Grandfather Lewis knows I wouldn't live in a broken Winnebago.
Louis J. Gomez
He wouldn't live in a broken Winnebago. And also his siblings are a decade younger than him. He lived with a child in a Winnebago.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm too prissy to live in a Winnebago.
Louis J. Gomez
Look at his nails. You think he's living in a Winnebago?
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's a. That's a powder gel I got at Gulch Nails today. I got powder because the gels I think were starting Val, you understand? I think they're making my nails weak.
David Lucas
So this could be Val.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I did a dip.
Louis J. Gomez
I think this is Val.
David Lucas
Yeah, now that I.
Louis J. Gomez
This is some Huntington Bee beach. We were beach kids.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I agree.
Valerie Vaughn
Yeah, My family is pretty white trash, but not. Not like that.
Louis J. Gomez
Oh, No, I don't believe you, Val. This seems like a. Like a Val origin story.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It is.
Valerie Vaughn
No, I think it's one of you two, maybe.
Louis J. Gomez
I mean, I never.
David Lucas
Bedrooms. Did your childhood at home have Lewis?
Valerie Vaughn
I actually lived in a pretty nice house in Newport.
Louis J. Gomez
But that's also.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let me tell you something, Square feet.
Valerie Vaughn
Oh, I don't know. It was a big house.
David Lucas
At what age did y' all move there?
Valerie Vaughn
We moved there when I was 7 and we moved out when I was 17.
Big J Okerson
You've totally convinced me. That totally sounds believable, Val. There you go.
David Lucas
Why'd y' all move out at 17?
Louis J. Gomez
Because she got this cool new Winnebago. Sick.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Shouldn't wait to show everybody your dope ass Winnebago.
David Lucas
Big J and Lewis could be conspiring to throw us off.
Louis J. Gomez
Listen, by the way, we have such. We have massive story wars. Integrity. We would never do that. Matt and Shane did it on the show last week. And I will. I will never be actually friends with them again. Because.
Tony Hinchcliffe
If it's not you, you're wasting it, Val.
Louis J. Gomez
She's wasting her vote.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Broken Winnebago. I would never live in a broken valor. J and Lewis and his sibling have a hard time living in the same neighborhood, let alone a broken Winnebago.
Louis J. Gomez
Together can never happen. It's definitely Val. It's. It's a Huntington beach love story. Her and her brother.
Big J Okerson
No doubt about it. Totally, Val.
Louis J. Gomez
All of our stories are in Alex.
Alex
Wow, you guys. That story belongs to Tony Hinchcrow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Why am I so aggressively bad at the game that I am a coach. Co founder of?
David Lucas
That's crazy.
Louis J. Gomez
He pulled so far. Hedges now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And Tony.
David Lucas
Oh, the Trump dance.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Tony. And I want you to. I want you to give due respect right now because I want to let you know whatever this score is about to break up, his buddy Hearts with is brought to you solely by Double points.
Big J Okerson
You know what? I love double points. We love double points. Always have good system. Perfect time for it to happen. So I guess I should explain myself because it is kind of wackadoodle. I moved to Los Angeles immediately after high school. And. Well, there was a few months in Columbus, but then I went to la. And my super cool hippie brother that we all know and love, Donnie, did indeed live in a fully operational. Awesome. Like a 19. I think it was like 68. Donnie, are you here? Is Donnie here?
Tony Hinchcliffe
He's in the Winnebago, bro.
Big J Okerson
He is here. There he is. What year was that? Winnebago. What year was that?
David Lucas
22 years ago.
Big J Okerson
No, but I mean, what was the. What was the. It was a 72. Okay. All right. And. And indeed we had it. He had a whole setup. He was in the driveway of a really nice house with. There was like. It was like three bedrooms. And we had. There was. So there were three people living in the house. And we paid minimal rent. He was already there. So I pitched in too. And we had this awesome SRV that was plugged into the thing. And we didn't have to like run the water or anything because we had a little side door that was. It was just a perfect LA setup. It's a great way to be 18 or 19 in LA. And we lived a hippie ass lifestyle, smoking blunts from the time we woke up all day long. One day we had. We decided to throw a party up in Malibu.
Louis J. Gomez
And you guys ended up white lotusing each other.
Big J Okerson
It's like a company party. We were just going to the beach. We were going to camp in Malibu. And we had only at a paper. Paper map. We didn't have like smartphones at the time. And we thought we found.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Where do you guys get in this situation?
Big J Okerson
Yeah, anytime. Anytime we wanted. Because we're built like. And we have these faces. It's. It's different. You can't. You can never fathom Jay. Anyway, but we didn't. We had.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We'll just. You in a Winnebago while your brother's there. Hey, I can't finish unless my brother watches.
Big J Okerson
I mean, yeah, was. It was a wild. It was like tour bus life. But anyway, we. One more time for Donnie Hinchcliffe, everybody.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Anyway, man, he was 80% proud of you and 20% resentful.
Big J Okerson
Donnie, did you hear me tell the story about Jeff at the Walmart? Yep. Okay, perfect.
Louis J. Gomez
Donnie's trying to do cocaine in the back. Leave him alone, Tony.
Big J Okerson
Living that life. But what's amazing is that we thought we found a shortcut because we had a paper map and we had a fucking 72 Winnebago that we barely ever drove. But we're like, let's go. We're taking our home to the beach. It's gonna be awesome. And the shortcut, it turned out we didn't read the map properly because it was over the Santa Monica mountains, over like tens of thousands of feet in the sky. And we completely blew out the engine, the brakes, everything. I mean, we broke. We found a way to break everything about this vehicle. And so, yeah, eventually it didn't work out in the driveway because the owner of the house or whatever is like, you guys gotta. You can't just park up, whatever. It was like 26, 28 foot RV, so we ended up pushing it out to the street. And when you have a broken rv, there's street cleaning every week.
Louis J. Gomez
Did you tell your brother Jeff this story and that's why he fell asleep in that tent?
Big J Okerson
Yes, yes. But you have to picture me and that guy literally every Tuesday having to push this, I mean, massive RV to the other side of the street. And then the next day, Wednesday's street cleaning on that side. So you'd have to push it back.
Tony Hinchcliffe
To the other side.
Big J Okerson
Just the trashiest you can imagine.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Just an in neutral Winnebago. Yes, it sounds dangerous.
Big J Okerson
As now you're picturing it unbelievably, ridiculously.
Tony Hinchcliffe
The ladder on the back.
Big J Okerson
I. Yep, yep. Crazy sometimes. Yeah. It's just insane. And now you know.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I mean, holy.
Louis J. Gomez
Look, it's still anybody's game, but Tony pulled very hard. Is it anyone's game except for it's probably not Jay's game?
Tony Hinchcliffe
God fucking damn it. I'm always out by slightly after halftime.
Big J Okerson
Can I just do the first part? Can I just say, in last place, with three points, Big J Okerson.
Tony Hinchcliffe
None of us. None of us know anything else except that our points.
Alex
That is correct. In last place.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right, Everyone knew was correct. I scored three immediately.
Big J Okerson
Do I get more points? Do I get more points for being correct about that?
Alex
In fourth place, with four points, David Lucas. In third place, with five points, Valerie Vaughn. In second place with eight points, Louis J. Gomez.
Big J Okerson
Oh, that's a lot, Lewis. That's really good.
Louis J. Gomez
It's not over yet.
Alex
Tony Hanschland lead with 15 points, Tony Hinchcliff.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Lewis. Lewis, you're our only hope. Please do not let Mary HK Choice sign copy of Permanent Record out of our lives.
Big J Okerson
I'm going.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you understand? As Pablo is swept into Leanne's glamorous orbit, he's forced to confront the parts of himself he's been avoiding with crackling dialogue, smart humor, and heartfelt vulnerability. Permanent Record is perfect for anyone who's ever felt like they're falling behind in a world that never stops moving.
Louis J. Gomez
Look, I've read the book twice. I love the book. I don't want to let it go.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Keep it here, please. It's got your cum stuff stains all through it. You can't stop finishing this book. Something about Choi's writing style has always finished you. Hey, let's take a minute and thank our sponsor for today's show and that is Ridge Wallet. You've seen the advertisements online. You've heard us talking about Ridge wallet for years.

Louis J. Gomez
Alex, Story number seven.
Alex
Story number seven. My friends and I used to lock my sibling in a closet until they said the N word.
David Lucas
I'm out. I'm out. I'm out.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Not necessarily.
David Lucas
What do you mean? I'm out. We can say it.
Louis J. Gomez
They can say it. It would be a crazy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It would be a weird. Yeah, I guess. But.
David Lucas
That'S some rich Orange County.
Louis J. Gomez
Look, I've been doing a podcast with Big J for I guess, 13 or 14 years. And this is your humor.
Tony Hinchcliffe
My humor.
Louis J. Gomez
Your humor. I can see you doing this to your little brother. I can see you doing this with little Bobby.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Bobby would be funny to say. That is funny.
David Lucas
I don't know, but Orange county is kind of like the south. They kind of like big truck redneck energy in Orange County. But I feel. Where'd you grow up, Big J?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Philly. But I don't also think. But I feel like I don't think a white girl would tell this story.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, it doesn't seem like this. Seems like most other people except for Big J or Tony would be embarrassed to have this story.
David Lucas
But you're half white, Lewis, and proud of it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
He's only proud of that part.
David Lucas
I feel like the N word. Did you grow. Was your. Who'd you grow with, your mom or your dad?
Louis J. Gomez
I grew up with my mom. My dad was murdered when I was.
David Lucas
4 years old and Your mom is Puerto Rican?
Louis J. Gomez
My mom was white.
David Lucas
Oh, white. So, yeah, N word would be taboo.
Louis J. Gomez
I was called the N word by the rest of my family.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh.
David Lucas
How many siblings you got? I got.
Louis J. Gomez
Well, I got. I got.
David Lucas
Got stuttering. You said that.
Louis J. Gomez
I got one full sister, and then I got a half brother and a half sister.
David Lucas
They grew up in the house with you?
Louis J. Gomez
Just the sister Lewis is.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Lewis has a sister, and she's older. She's older than you, right?
Louis J. Gomez
She's older than me, yeah.
David Lucas
So this was sibling, siblings, singular.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah. I wouldn't have.
David Lucas
I mean, sibling.
Louis J. Gomez
We had no problem saying the N word in my household. We have to lock in a closet. That was like, it's not only accepted, it's accepted, Encouraged.
Big J Okerson
Yes. You know, no one knows more about being in a closet than me. And while, of course, I know this isn't my story, I, using my pure instincts, know exactly whose story it is. And that story belongs to Big J. Wow.
David Lucas
Wow.
Louis J. Gomez
Very slick. I have a feeling that Tony's right right now.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I was gonna vote for Val because Tony did. It ended up being me. I can't vote for me.
David Lucas
Lewis J. Grew up with one sister in the house, which is sibling, singular.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah.
David Lucas
Big J, how many siblings did you have eventually?
Tony Hinchcliffe
3.
David Lucas
Age range?
Tony Hinchcliffe
I was 11 years older than my brother, 15 years older than my sister, and 19 years older than my other sister.
David Lucas
So that was not your house.
Louis J. Gomez
I don't like him being a detective right now.
Big J Okerson
Yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
Sherlock homeboy, huh?
Valerie Vaughn
You could have more than one sibling, and you only locked that one in the closet.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah.
David Lucas
No, but siblings is singular.
Big J Okerson
Well, it would still be a specific sibling to everybody.
David Lucas
All right, so you had how many?
Valerie Vaughn
I have one brother I used to get locked in the bathroom. Thank you. My cousins would lock me in the bathroom and do bloody marriage toit.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, I like it.
Valerie Vaughn
Bloody Mary. But never, never that.
David Lucas
Tony's Italian. They damn near get a pass. Puerto Ricans down there get a pass.
Louis J. Gomez
Lewis, Big Jay just whizzed me. He was like, dude, don't waste your vote on me. It's a waste of a vote. We're gonna lose it. Jay doesn't want to lose by that.
David Lucas
I can throw a curveball into the mix.
Louis J. Gomez
Please.
David Lucas
My grandmother's white.
Louis J. Gomez
Whoa, your grandmother's white?
David Lucas
Yeah.
Valerie Vaughn
Maybe you have white cousins or something.
Big J Okerson
Or a white.
Louis J. Gomez
But you didn't lock your grandmother in the closet, so she said the N word.
Big J Okerson
David.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That'd be great.
David Lucas
Okay.
Louis J. Gomez
I don't do it.
David Lucas
Some of my relatives don't fuck with that.
Louis J. Gomez
Word. Fine. I'm scared. You got me.
David Lucas
I think I chose right.
Louis J. Gomez
It's Val or Big J. But I feel like. Would Val.
Valerie Vaughn
I would never.
Louis J. Gomez
Would Val say this story. I could see Big J doing this with his little brother Bobby, with his friends. Philly trash. These kids were fucking animals. There's black people everywhere. He was afraid.
David Lucas
If you grew up white in Philly, you got the N word. Pass. I feel like you did.
Tony Hinchcliffe
It wasn't that big. I will say it wasn't that big of a deal.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, but it's just a funny thing to do to your little brother. It's hilarious. It's objectively hilarious. Guys do this tonight. If you're out there and you have a small child that you could lock into a closet and have them say that the N word to get out.
David Lucas
Come on, put your.
Big J Okerson
Put your. It's old Steph Curry.
Louis J. Gomez
I think I'm gonna go with Big J. O. God damn it, J.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Damn.
Big J Okerson
Steph Curry. Big Steph Curry. Okerson, the three point king.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Alex, let's find out.
Alex
That story belongs to Big J. O.
Louis J. Gomez
You son of a. You were trying to fool me right at the end. You don't wanna keep my book.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Off mic. Let's fucking go. Off mic. I tried to convince Lewis it wasn't me.
Louis J. Gomez
Was it Little Bobby?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Of course.
David Lucas
Me.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And by the way, this is what the 90s were so great. My assorted mix of white and black friends. We thought it was the funniest thing when my brother was like, really little. We'd put him in a closet until he would say the N word. And then we would all laugh together in. In. In racial harmony at how funny that was at a little boy saying the N word. And then we would all do whatever we did as friends. No one really overthought it, except it was funny to hear a little boy say the N word.
Louis J. Gomez
Would he cry?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
Him crying. The N word rules.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We go. Just say the N word and you can get out.
David Lucas
Oh, that was crazy.
Big J Okerson
What would be really funny is if you locked him in the closet and then said say the N word and then let him out and open the door and there's just a bunch of black guys.
David Lucas
That is.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Was genuinely funny. He had to walk out and face everybody. I didn't mean you guys.
Big J Okerson
Can I get back in the closet?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, yeah. One of those black guys. Name is Mooneer, Mooneir and Armani. What two black dudes have waiting for you after you just said the N word?
Big J Okerson
Oh, someone call Aunt Cricket.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Mouneer definitely had an Aunt Cricket.
David Lucas
I gotta hear this age story.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, we got. What's the points.
Big J Okerson
Points there, Big J, you're in double point territory. I think you're out of last place.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Nope.
Alex
In last place with four points, David Lucas.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. Small victories. This is how I felt in CrossFit. I just didn't want to be last. I just didn't want to be last because they all have to sit there and cheer for you until you're done. It's insane.
Alex
In fourth place with five points, Big J O. In third place with nine points, Valerie Vaughn. In second place with 12 points, Louis J. Gomez. And in the lead with 19 points, Tony Hinchcliffe.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, man. Dude, that is a perfect rendition of your dick, dude.
Big J Okerson
Very crazy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Your sack is always tight and your head starts the same exact plane as your shaft. You are circumcised, but still the skin perfectly stops at the bottom of the head. And then the helmet begins, not at that rough part, like the outside of a quarter you see on most dicks. Damn. The Golden Pony, everybody.
Louis J. Gomez
Wow.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm sorry, dude. I'm just feeling good.
Louis J. Gomez
You. You're so happy. Jay's already given up. He's just happy that he's not in last place.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Dude, I'm in crosser right now. Come on, David. You got this, man. Don't give up.
Louis J. Gomez
Off microphone. He whispered to me. He's like, dude, don't do it. We can't lose this book. That was crazy. Dude, you're a piece of some playing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I'm playing the game. Sorry, dude. I'm a baller.
Louis J. Gomez
Alex, we're on our final story. Story number eight.
Alex
Story number eight. I cleaned a bloody knife after my sibling's friend stabbed somebody at my house.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All right. What? All right, this definitely. Can I tell you guys, let me just make it easy for everybody. This isn't me or Lewis. I mean, if this is Lewis, dude, then you've been pulling a shit sham on me your whole life. This would be major.
Louis J. Gomez
Well, my sister's only friends with gay guys, so if she cleaned their bloody dick, I would believe it.
Tony Hinchcliffe
But, yeah, and if you clean that knife, you might have aids.
Louis J. Gomez
I mean, this seems like a Val type story. This like a woman would clean a bloody knife after a friend stabbing.
Tony Hinchcliffe
What?
Valerie Vaughn
That's too gnarly. I couldn't do something.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I agree. That's too gnarly.
Valerie Vaughn
That's pretty heavy.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, but like, gnarly like how people in California say it's like, gnarly?
Valerie Vaughn
No, not in a cool way. It's like gnarly. It's. That's too heavy.
Tony Hinchcliffe
No, David. I see we're getting ready to write. Explain, please. White bitch.
David Lucas
Shit.
Big J Okerson
This bitch over here.
David Lucas
I feel like that's very white. Because black people don't like blood.
Big J Okerson
Ah. Black people don't feel they like Crips.
David Lucas
As I have on a blue shirt.
Tony Hinchcliffe
We know where we're at, but that.
David Lucas
Is very black to hide the evidence like that didn't get stabbed in here. You know what I'm saying?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Also, Tony, he's actually wearing a Crips shirt as you made that joke, by the way.
Louis J. Gomez
Wow.
Big J Okerson
Oh, my goodness. Yeah. I mean, well, I will say Valerie looks like.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You ever see the movie Bully? Valerie looks like someone who was involved in a lot of teenage crimes, like cleaning knives for dudes that she liked, bad boys that she thought were going to be good guys.
David Lucas
What spot did the person get stabbed did?
Louis J. Gomez
I don't know. It's not my story.
David Lucas
What part? What spot?
Valerie Vaughn
I don't know.
David Lucas
But if somebody were to have a bloody knife, where do you feel like the spot would be, Val?
Valerie Vaughn
I mean, the stomach, maybe.
David Lucas
Okay.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Tony's very close with his siblings, too. He might. Look, one's a hippie, but you got several siblings. One might be a homicidal maniac.
Louis J. Gomez
No, it's a sibling's friend. So this could just be. People always have an oddball friend out there. Right? So this isn't.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And hippies hang out with anybody who has drugs.
Big J Okerson
That's true.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Music. Oh, man. I stabbed somebody in my house.
Louis J. Gomez
Now this seems like a female sort of activity.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Cleaning up blood knives. You're taking the blood out of it.
Louis J. Gomez
Any kitchenware? Just any sort of.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Just the. Just the instinct to want to make flatware clean again.
Big J Okerson
I bet she made a delicious sandwich.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
Big J Okerson
Spreading the mayo on with a form.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Clean a bunny knife. And I put in a nice brie and crackers for everybody.
David Lucas
My two hunches are Tony and. And Val.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I mean, Tony cleaning a bloody knife is. That seems like it would affect you, but maybe not a woman so much because, you know, you just gotta hold down your motherfucking, man. I'm prone to go with you, David, and say Val.
Valerie Vaughn
Yeah, I'm gonna go, Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
That's a quick deflection.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah. I feel like she got nervous. She freaked out right away. She said, I'm gonna go, Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
She spazzed out, as she always does. Classic Val skits it out like a Orange County.
David Lucas
Yeah, yeah.
Louis J. Gomez
Huntington beach is a bad area, too. Here we Go.
David Lucas
No, it's not.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I thought. It's a nice area.
David Lucas
Very nice.
Louis J. Gomez
The Huntington beach bad boy, Tito Ortiz, I think he's.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, but he was the most bad boy.
Valerie Vaughn
There's bad boys in Newport. Newport's not like a little better than Huntington.
Louis J. Gomez
It's a little better than Huntington. Huntington's danger.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Where's Christine? She's my California expert.
Valerie Vaughn
Yeah, some stuff in Huntington.
Tony Hinchcliffe
She left bored.
Big J Okerson
Well, there's only one person that it could be. And that person is without a doubt, David Lucas.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Oh, shit.
David Lucas
Nigga, I ain't touching no knife. Not no blood in there.
Big J Okerson
All right, well, maybe I'm wrong on this one then.
Louis J. Gomez
Yes. All right, I think it's Val. I'm seeing her face right now too.
Tony Hinchcliffe
All the answers are in Alex.
Alex
That story belongs to Valerie Vaughn.
Big J Okerson
Yeah. Fuck.
David Lucas
Somehow I'm still in last place. Cuz, we all got this right now.
Louis J. Gomez
What happened here? You.
Valerie Vaughn
Well, I totally blocked that story out of my memory. And then today I called my dad and I'm like, what's some crazy family stories? And he goes, what about the time you clean the knife after somebody stabbed somebody? And I was like that. I was like, I wish something that cool happened to me. And then he's like, no, it really did. And my pregnant 17 year old cousin was staying with us. Maybe she was 18, hot. She was supposed to be watching us.
Louis J. Gomez
Oh, yeah.
Tony Hinchcliffe
And then Valerie, you are come from garbage. Yeah, you have really risen above her.
Louis J. Gomez
Her podcast is get in the van.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Get in the van, Put the lotion on the skin.
Valerie Vaughn
I really don't. Don't have very much memory of what happened, but I do remember cleaning the knife and being scared that I was gonna get.
Louis J. Gomez
How old were you?
Valerie Vaughn
Probably 16.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Nice, nice. Good. Formative years.
Valerie Vaughn
I'm a good sister.
David Lucas
How did the stabbing go down?
Valerie Vaughn
I have no idea.
David Lucas
So this story shouldn't even count.
Big J Okerson
Who told you to clean it?
Valerie Vaughn
It did. This did happen.
David Lucas
You don't know what happened?
Valerie Vaughn
No, it did happen.
David Lucas
Sound like some lion ass.
Valerie Vaughn
No, no, it really didn't happen.
Big J Okerson
That's trauma.
Valerie Vaughn
Yeah, I was scared of getting busted.
David Lucas
Tony, you. You let your trauma out in as an expression of being homosexual. So what do you.
Louis J. Gomez
The.
Big J Okerson
What the was that supposed to.
Tony Hinchcliffe
I gotta be honest, I don't know where the score is. Like, except I know I didn't win.
Louis J. Gomez
Yeah, I think I know who won already. But Alex, where are our final scores at?
Alex
All right, in last place with eight points, David Lucas.
Big J Okerson
Eight? As in he ate everything they put in front of him. Trauma in Fourth place, Alex.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Let the crowd calm down. First.
Alex
In fourth place with nine points, Big J. Wow.
Big J Okerson
Wow.
Louis J. Gomez

Louis J. Gomez

Big J Okerson
There's so many people that I'd like to thank for this moment. First of all, out there in the crowd, one of my good friends, Anthony Florig, ladies and gentlemen. He's from Youngstown, Ohio. He once called me and said, I'm going to come visit Los Angeles. Can I stay on your couch? And I go, I'm living on a couch, but you can stay on the floor. And I said, why are you coming to Los Angeles? And he said, I'm coming to Los Angeles to win the Price is Right. To which I responded, I don't think you know how that works, but you can come stay at my place. And he came and he stayed at my place. And he was on the floor. We had a fun night. I was working at the Comedy Store at the time and we had a fun night that night. Everybody that I introduced him to was my first friend from home visiting me at the Comedy Store ever. So everyone was excited. He's at the back door as I'm checking people's IDs. And everybody goes, wow, Anthony, nice to meet you. What brings you to la? And he told everybody, looked him right in the eyes and goes, I'm here to win the Price is Right. And every single person looked at him like he was nuts. And that we, we had a lot of fun that night. A whole night at the Comedy Store. Watched don Barris until 3 or 4am he had a car at the time, I did not. And he drove me home. And I hear a little tussle at 3 or 4, maybe 5 in the morning. Then it's him waking up off the kitchen floor. That's right, it was a kitchen floor. And he went. And a few hours later, I get a phone call. It's him. And he says, come outside. I walk outside and he is holding a piece of white billboard like that, that what was the total?
Tony Hinchcliffe
$20,980 retail.
Big J Okerson
Motherfucker won the prices, right? I figure, why not? Since I saw him, I was really just going to thank the president, Donald Trump. But I saw Anthony out there, and I figure why we're better than on Story wars to tell you a true crazy fucking story.
Tony Hinchcliffe
You won the prices, right? Can you please tell us what you won? Oh, but the objects. Grill, $40 in Campbell's VHS. An armchair and an ottoman, eight small kitchen appliances, $400 in board games, two folding bicycles and a wine cooler, an antique restored player piano, Roy Hill attic heirlooms, Mission dining room set, and the Noritake Fitzgerald Fine dinner.
David Lucas
Dude.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Bob Barker would be proud.
Big J Okerson
And on top of all that, tonight you're gonna leave with a very HK record. Congratulations, Tony.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Do you want to wield your powers for the first time ever?
Big J Okerson
What does that mean?
Tony Hinchcliffe
Well, you now get the ability to say the term that triggers the. Well, the fanfare.
Big J Okerson
There's so many. The reason you won, I would like to thank, first of all, shout outs to single points, shout outs to my aunt Cricket out there watching. And more than anything, I'd love to thank my new favorite part of the game. It's called double points.
Tony Hinchcliffe
Congratulations to Tony Hitchcock for being our newest story warrior. A big round of applause for all of our guests, everyone. Tony Hinchcliff, Valerie Vaughn, David Lucas. I'm Big J Okerson.
Louis J. Gomez
And I'm the puerto Rican rhino St. Louis J. Gomez.
