That's nice. I try. I feel like I give off little brother energy sometimes, and I don't mean to do that.

[Justin Silver]

Nerd.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I know.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Little brother energy. I don't know what that is.

[Zach Amico]

It's just like when I go around people and they're just like, oh, Tristan, shut up. I'm like, hey, guys, how many.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Hey, what's your favorite thing for Halloween, my little brother?

[Tristan Bowling]

[Zach Amico]

It sucks. No, I'm being honest. If I could do.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, but I. Not a fat one. I got a decent dick.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

[Justin Silver]

We've all seen each other's penises. I feel like if you want to be in the crew, buddy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, dude.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, shit.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

This is. This is like how gangs jump you in, but we're going to suck you into this?

[Zach Amico]

We're going to suck you into the gang, dude.

[Zach Amico]

Oh no.

[Tristan Bowling]

The gas Digital.

[Justin Silver]

Come on, dude, we've all done it.

[Zach Amico]

Oh God. I hate this.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

By the way. They would jump people into gangs but the girls would have to fuck everybody.

[Tristan Bowling]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Isn't that wild?

[Justin Silver]

Wait, in the gang if you, if.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You the females to get in the gang they had to go a bunch of guys, right? Didn't they? There was a movie where they had to roll dice and see how many guys they had to. I feel like that's a very jerkable scene in a movie by the way.

[Justin Silver]

Very porny thing it was.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Who was it? It's two chicks that were pretty famous. Dude.

[Justin Silver]

Is a movie or documentary a movie?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

This is a movie.

[Zach Amico]

I think that like the way it started out was just a chick wanted to be a part of the gang. They never had that before.

[Shannon]

Havoc is the name of the movie.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Thank you, Shannon. Who are the actresses? It's, I'm blanking right now, but it's a pretty, it's in terms of mainstream movie jerks. Pretty up there.

[Justin Silver]

Their boobs.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Bijou Phillips and Anne Hathaway. Yeah. Dude. It's like these two hot chicks would.

[Justin Silver]

Ever be in a gang. What gang is it?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, they're like two white girls that they hang out with. These like Mexican gang members like on a crazy drug fueled like night. I don't ever watch. I just jerked off to the scene. That's one of my favorite porn categories is mainstream movie sex.

[Zach Amico]

I think anw Hathway said the N word in that movie.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Does she?

[Zach Amico]

I think she now I'm in love with. Yeah, yeah.

[Justin Silver]

Get her on this show, please.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. No, no, that was a solid movie but they, they rolled dice and I guess the one girl rolls like a one, the other girl rolls like a three and. Yeah, I, I, I didn't get to. I don't know what happens after that.

[Justin Silver]

I have like a 20 sided dice.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I was about to say the Dungeon and Dragons club goes crazy. Dude, 37 people, he just crit, dude. That's crazy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You see boobs? Yeah, you see boobs.

[Justin Silver]

[Lewis J. Gomez]

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're getting too old.

[Shannon]

[Shannon]

It was just a Gio. Perez and Natalie. We just like a silly family episode.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Silly family episode. Well, anyway, we have a great show planned today. I'm very excited about it being New Year's Day. I'm very excited to start the year off right. Even though that's kind of gay to say. You don't got to say. You don't got to wait till the first to start your year off right. You're, you know, it's New Year, new you. Every day, baby boy. Every day. Every second. It could be a new day, baby. Let's go.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's so bright, dude. Well, anyway, we do have a great show planned. I'm very excited about the New Year. I. I had a great year of growth. I had a great year of just being the best version of myself. Getting legit growth. Getting jacked.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, you feel great.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, you feel great. Justin was feeling my body as we walked in.

[Zach Amico]

It was insanely awkward and homosexual.

[Justin Silver]

I don't see what's insane.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There's nothing gay.

[Justin Silver]

I feel like that's such a normal thing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Can I tell you? The thing is, if you see two men feeling each other's muscles and complimenting each other's muscles, and you think gay, that's because you're aroused. You're gay. We're just being dudes.

[Justin Silver]

If I blow Louis, he'd be like, does my dick taste weird? I'm like, let me check, bro.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Like, sometimes.

[Zach Amico]

How's my technique?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Sometimes you got to come, right?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And you're going to sit here and judge us like a homosexual? I don't think so, Tristan.

[Zach Amico]

Well, I mean, we're straight.

[Justin Silver]

You're gay.

[Zach Amico]

Sometimes when there's. Yeah, when there's one finger pointing at me, there's three pointing back at you. Friends. Yeah, we're not talking about where that thumb is.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's the. That's the move right there, Justin. A little flippity flap tickler. Oh, yeah, no homo. Guys, we actually. New New Year, we're going to be anti gay. I decided we have to go with the right wing. Griff, this year I was thinking about this. I've been. I've been really. As soon as everyone went fucking right wing, everyone became Trumpers. I was like, that's gay. And I started going against it. And that's not the path to making millions of dollars. I need to start grifting. Yeah, okay, we're going to edit all this part out, Shannon, but I need to start grifting hard this year. Big. Going to be a big Trump guy. Big Trump guy this year.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

You're going to get, like, the hat.

[Zach Amico]

You got to get the shoes, the.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Sneakers, the hat, the fucking. Any. Any Trump accessories. I'm down. Beach towel maga. Shit. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

You should get a tattoo. A Trump tattoo should get a confederate.

[Justin Silver]

Flag on your house.

[Zach Amico]

You should get his face tattooed on your face.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You don't need a confederate flag. The American flag has become the confederate flag.

[Justin Silver]

That's a good point.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

If you have an American flag on your front door, you're like, this guy's a fucking Nazi. Wild.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. That is a statement.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. You're like, hey, dude, everyone except America.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. You know who lives here? Us, dude.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

White people. Good old fucking white people. God, must be so nice to be white, man.

[Zach Amico]

What does it don't tread on me flag on your house? What does that stand for?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I don't really know. I always kind of pretend to know what it means. I think it's a libertarian type thing, right?

[Justin Silver]

Something with a snake.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, there's a snake. Don't tread on me.

[Zach Amico]

What is Step on the snake.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What is it?

[Zach Amico]

I don't know. I like the flag, though.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I do like the flag, but what is it? What is the implication?

[Justin Silver]

What if we had a producer with an Internet. Oh, there it is.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Don't try to me. Also known as the Gadson flag is a historical American flag that symbolizes defiance against tyranny and oppression. Okay, that's good.

[Justin Silver]

It looks so negative, though. It looks great.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's a rattlesnake. Dude, this is. Honestly, dude, this is it. This is my next T shirt.

[Justin Silver]

Shannon, what's the rat? What's the symbol of the rattlesnake?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I know. It'll bite the fuck out of your ankle, bitch.

[Tristan Bowling]

Yeah, you don't want to step on it. It'll bite you.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, it'll bite on you. It'll bite you.

[Justin Silver]

Oh, I get it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But what do I get instead of what if I. What Do I get. Instead of Don't Tread on me, don't read. Don't read to me. That's a great.

[Zach Amico]

I can't read. I'm keeping it that way.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I like it. Well, anyway, lots of fun. What? Do you guys have any fun plans for the night?

[Justin Silver]

I'm trying to get back into my fucking apartment, dude.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Come on, Justin.

[Justin Silver]

I'll probably. Well, I'll have to climb back in my window. I'll probably come out to that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You should come out to skanks.

[Justin Silver]

Let me try to figure it out. That sounds. I forgot that it was.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

How did you lock yourself out of your apartment?

[Justin Silver]

I have one of the. I have one of those, like, the Rubik's Cube keys, the ones with, like, the little doodads on them. And the thing just stopped turning in the lock. So I was like. I had to pull my AC out the window, climb in, and I'm like, how am I. I got to try to fix this lock.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So that's your day is trying to fix a lock.

[Justin Silver]

I hope it's not the whole day.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's very tedious. Why don't you just get a regular lock?

[Justin Silver]

It is a regular lock. I'm saying it's just one of those more advanced keys. Because I don't think that's like, the thing where you're like, hey, be careful. You'll get locked out of your house with these keys. I think that. I don't know. I'm not a lock guy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I have a code on my.

[Tristan Bowling]

You're like a locks guy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I didn't mind it, dude. Yeah, I. Yeah, I have a code on my door, but I don't.

[Justin Silver]

But it's not that part. It's the. It's like whatever the mechanism is on the inside that something got up. I think that can happen with. This is a great segment, by the way. Yeah, it is just, like, learning stuff.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, don't.

[Justin Silver]

No, no, I'm being dead serious. Like, we learned, like, man.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, learn some, man.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, we learned some. Mansion. I don't really have the answers to this. I just bang on things ago. Like.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Tristan, what is your. What are your plans for tonight?

[Zach Amico]

I am currently living in a hotel. Hotel room with me and my girlfriend.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What are we in a hotel room?

[Zach Amico]

My Christmas Eve, my apartment flooded.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No way. So they have to pay for the hotel, though.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Sick.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, sick.

[Justin Silver]

See, New York sucks, dude. Everything.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, that rules. Dude. Dude. Hotel, dudes. Anal sex. Wiping blood and on the pillows and sheets, throwing them into the hallway. Dude, I love hotels. I love it every time I finish my meal and I just open the door and I go, have fun. Clean that up.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah. There's usually a decorum. You put it next to your door, but you're just open.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No way. I slam it at the door. I throw it as hard as I can at the door across the hallway from me.

[Zach Amico]

You take the trash in the elevator. Just press a random.

[Justin Silver]

You're like. You're like me. Like when you're in a hotel room, it looks like. Like Guns N Roses stayed there, right? Like, I do not keep a hotel room.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I don't keep a hotel room neat. But it just depends if I'm going to be alone the whole weekend. No one else is coming to my hotel room. I crank up the heat. I just. It's just garbage and food and everything. I'll never. But if I have somebody visiting or if I know somebody's giving me the room, then I'll have it cleaned. But I don't. Typically, I don't have my room cleaned. I don't want that bitch anywhere near my shit.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And it's also. I used to smoke weed. So what would happen is when I would. I would smoke weed day one, and then I go, like, I let it air out a couple days. So you can't really let them in there.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, we got two cats in there in the hotel.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Tristan Bowling]

Wow.

[Zach Amico]

We had to like pick up our whole life and like bring it out. Like our shit was like, like an inch and a half deep flood.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is it a nice hotel?

[Zach Amico]

It's all right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's like you can't say which one.

[Zach Amico]

I mean, I don't. I don't think they give a. Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They'Re not going to come find you. Yeah, they might.

[Zach Amico]

But I mean, it's in Long Island. Long Island City.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Long Island City.

[Zach Amico]

I was staying in Astoria, so it wasn't too far away.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But it's a little closer to the city.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get off like two stops, like, closer than I usually do.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is it. Is it like a. A brand we would know?

[Justin Silver]

No, no brand.

[Zach Amico]

No. It's not like Hilton Garden Inn.

[Justin Silver]

It's just like the way a brand of hotel.

[Zach Amico]

I like brand name hotels.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's a brand.

[Justin Silver]

I know, but it's just like the way it. Like a brand, like chain.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

A hotel in my face. Like, I'm.

[Justin Silver]

I wasn't living at you. I was living with you.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What are you not laughing?

[Justin Silver]

What are you so defensive about?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I like the way in my face.

[Justin Silver]

A brand of hotel.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Now he's back brand of car.

[Justin Silver]

I like the way it sounds.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

The. These are. These are all. Yes, brand.

[Justin Silver]

Yes, it was.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There's no other word to use.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, I know, I like the way.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It sounds, but you cackled at me like I was a jerk.

[Justin Silver]

I'm not cackling at you. You made me laugh, Louis.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I don't know if I did. There's nothing funny about what I said.

[Justin Silver]

Just the way you said it, it made me laugh.

[Tristan Bowling]

I think we can all agree with that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, so it's. But it's not a brand name. Hot.

[Zach Amico]

I mean, with Hilton, we're family, but at the same time, no, it's not Hilton. It's just some offshoot and stuff. I think they bought like an apartment complex and like turned it into a hotel, but they got a really good restaurant.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Do they have like room service and do they have. Yeah, they'll clean your room right now. If you say go clean my room, they clean your room.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it would be a nightmare with two cats running around in there being scared the entire time.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That dude, I mean, what a life. I lived in a hotel at one time, but it was not a nice hotel. It was a Manhattan Broadway Hotel on 38th street between 7th and 8th Avenue. And it was straight up an hourly hooker hotel.

[Justin Silver]

Why?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And why, Why'd you live. Because I was. My hourly hooking days. Yeah. No, because I.

[Tristan Bowling]

Between. Between places.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Between places. But you know, it was. I didn't have the money to move into a place when I was like a young like 22 year old kid. When I was selling comedy club tickets. I was dating Alex, the girl I wrote the poem about. Because I got. I got sport a long time ago. I got sport. Oh, you remember Alex? You knew Alex. We've been friends for that long, which is crazy. Why are you making a face like.

[Justin Silver]

You Alex Lewis, you gotta out.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Did you Alex, bro.

[Justin Silver]

No, I did not.

[Tristan Bowling]

You sport.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Did you sport?

[Tristan Bowling]

What Sport?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I got sport while I lived in that hotel. And I got a brand new puppy. He just pissed and all over the.

[Tristan Bowling]

You got spores when you.

[Zach Amico]

Well, you gave them spores due to the dog piss.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah, that poor. That poor hotel. Asian hotel. I used to go there was. This is like pre Internet on your cell phone. I mean there was no, there wasn't. This is. Yeah, this is like Nokia. This is Nokia days. Yeah. So there was no porn on your cell phone. So there was Nokia.

[Tristan Bowling]

How'd you get in the room? I don't mind it.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that's fun.

[Tristan Bowling]

I'm really embracing my Silly.

[Zach Amico]

I know you got it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

The year of silly.

[Zach Amico]

Dude, we gotta have a silly year.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Silly pants here. Dude. Let's stop thinking he's taking ourselves so seriously. Besides the Trump Griff that I'm about to start in a very hard and very serious way, we're gonna keep it.

[Zach Amico]

All silly Maga tattooed on your forehead.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I love it. Don't do that. So no, they had. So I would go to the porn store in like Times Square. They see all these like porn shops. So I would buy a three pack of magazines and it would come with a DVD. It was like 12 bucks. And I had a DVD player in the room. And then I would jerk off to the DVD player and that was great. Not the dvd. The DVD player was.

[Zach Amico]

Look at it loading. God damn.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But then, you know, you get bored of that. So what I would do is I would go down. This is a crazy person. This is. What a fucking weird little pervert I was when I was 22 years old. Like in the lobby there was two computers that you'd pay for Internet like you know, by the minute or whatever. It was like 50 cents a minute. Yeah, Internet cafes were huge back then.

[Justin Silver]

You didn't jerk off in the lobby?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Didn't jerk off in the lobby. What I would do is I would go down, I would look at porn, make sure nobody could see me from the desk. I'd be looking at porn and I would make a mental, mental you Rain Man. I would run upstairs and I beat off and I'm like, oh, I'm not ready for that. I gotta go back down. I go back down, I buy more minutes on it. I was up.

[Zach Amico]

So you're just running down flaccid.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Running into the thing with a semi corner.

[Justin Silver]

Sleepaway camp. I remember this is like so long ago when I was told we had like one porno magazine and I was good at drawing, so I copied the porno magazine. Just get like passed around from cabin to cabin. So when it came to us, I copied pictures and like on loose leaf paper. And all the kids in my bunk would jerk off to my pencil drawn.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

The Renaissance era.

[Justin Silver]

I copied pictures of this Playboy magazine.

[Zach Amico]

Justin Silva has provided a new tapestry. Gather round.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Justin's. What do they call it when they do the little on the floor? Dude, Damn. You know where they. They put the little things and they make art on the floor with tiles. Come on. Mosaic. Shannon, edit it like Justin's doing mosaic porn. Shannon, make me smart, please.

[Zach Amico]

Have you seen his stained glass cream pie? It's beautiful.

[Justin Silver]

That's the way it used to be back in the day. Someone have to, like, draw. Think about it. Someone have to draw a picture.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But do you think they were jacking off to those pictures?

[Zach Amico]

I think they're appreciating them more than their jack.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. And they were also fat chicks, dude. Every model was like a voluptuous. No, I'm not. I'm not going to normalize fat chicks. Even in the Renaissance era, it was.

[Tristan Bowling]

A sign of opulence.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Tristan Bowling]

If you had money.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Like. And you had.

[Justin Silver]

That was the thing. It was like, tan was not sexy.

[Tristan Bowling]

I'd be a hot Renaissance lady.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, you would be.

[Tristan Bowling]

I'd be a hot commodity.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, very true. They'd be like, oh, my goodness, Zach.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You look like a cherub that's grown up. Zach has retired from being a child angel.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I didn't want to do just New Year's resolutions. That's what everybody does, right? And also, I don't believe. I don't really believe in a New Year's resolution, but I figured maybe we could give each other New Year's resolutions.

[Justin Silver]

Oh.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Which is always fun.

[Justin Silver]

Like, wishes. Grant wishes to each other.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, that's not what.

[Justin Silver]

That's not what we're doing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's what genius is. We're not genies.

[Justin Silver]

Oh, I meant something else.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Do you think we're genies?

[Justin Silver]

I meant something else then.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No. You're gonna give a New Year's resolution to. To each of us.

[Tristan Bowling]

Gee, I wonder what mine's gonna be.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think get fatter. Thank you, Zach. I want you to. I want you to eat more and exercise less somehow.

[Zach Amico]

I want you to boil over.

[Tristan Bowling]

No, I gotta get my together for March or at least lose a little. For March. I gotta do a movie with Dotta 5000.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're doing a movie without.

[Tristan Bowling]

I think I have a fight scene with him.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No. Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

Is it a wrestling movie?

[Tristan Bowling]

No, it's like a revenge movie. And he's a trainer at a place and I'm like one of the local punks who like kills people and deals drugs.

[Justin Silver]

Wow.

[Tristan Bowling]

I did not know until I saw the Indiegogo yesterday. And it was just two pictures of me and Donna 5,000 next to each other.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's great.

[Zach Amico]

That's right.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Got a 5,000. Almost died in an MMA fight years ago, didn't he?

[Justin Silver]

Like gas.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was like Timbo Slice did. He literally had a heart. He had a heart attack.

[Tristan Bowling]

He called. He code blew twice and he had kidney failure. During the fight.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

During the fight? Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Damn. How you're fighting Kimbo Slice. That just happened.

[Justin Silver]

But he was like training his ass off. I remember watching, I was like, how did these guys, like, so they were like.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They were street fighters. They weren't really.

[Justin Silver]

They were training.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Kimbo was an athlete.

[Justin Silver]

They were training.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Kimbo was no joke. Actually, I have a ton of respect for Kimbo Slice and his journey into the ufc. He actually had pretty. Pretty. Pretty high level success considering the fact that he was a street fighter.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Pretty insane.

[Zach Amico]

His street beefs were infamous.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They were awesome.

[Justin Silver]

Is he a character in the UFC game?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Probably.

[Justin Silver]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

I have done. I've played as Kimbo Slice in the UFC game. It is fun.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Kimbo Slice rules. Dude. He would be in the background of porns because he's a porn announcer. Yeah.

[Tristan Bowling]

Be hanging out.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

It was like reality Kings. Yeah. All right. I didn't know that.

[Zach Amico]

You guys just jinxed.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

So you got to get in shape to. To have a fight team.

[Tristan Bowling]

Or at least. I gotta get my wind.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, we're going to. Zach. I say it every day. We'll do it. We'll get you. We'll do it. Train you for free. We'll fucking have to hang out with.

[Tristan Bowling]

You guys all day.

[Justin Silver]

You fucking love that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. We're going to feel your body. Like we feel our bodies, dude. Nothing gay. Dude. You felt.

[Justin Silver]

Feel me feel you.

[Tristan Bowling]

I don't like that. I'm fuzzy in the camera because it looks like Thanos is snapping away my side.

[Zach Amico]

That's your New Year's resolution.

[Justin Silver]

I make you Thinner. Thinner Movie. That's how they would, like, dissipate, right?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. You can't wear blues either. Apparently at this studio you live and you learn, right? So look, I'm watching them fix the color right now. Let's see.

[Justin Silver]

It does look good. This looks great, though.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's fine. I like it. Some people hate the green screen. Some people like it.

[Justin Silver]

You know, it's a. I mean, the new cameras.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

People like to complain. No, we'll get you, Zach. We'll get you in shape. My buddy Vic just. He was. You remember Vic? I remember the name from the Hammer Fisting podcast.

[Justin Silver]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Literally 600 pounds. Yeah, he's lost like 250 pounds. He got that gastric bypass or whatever that Bobby Kelly got. Yeah, he's like. He's actually coming to stay. He's coming. He's moving back to New York and he's going to live with me for a few months, which is going to be sick. I love Vic. Shout out to Vic Mysterio. He's a man. That's pretty Ty. But yeah, Zach, we'll get you in shape, dude. We can make it a. We'll.

[Justin Silver]

That would be awesome, dude.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We'll get. Dude, imagine you just. You get jacked. You'll never be really jacked. You'll be like jacked. Like, what's the thing that the brain sits in on? The Ninja Turtles.

[Tristan Bowling]

Oh. Oh, yeah. Crane.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You have. You'd have crank body in the best case scenario, but that also rules.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, you'll feel fucking great, dude. We should do this.

[Tristan Bowling]

Well, I'm gonna. I'm gonna, I think get rid of the booze for a while.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah, we gotta.

[Justin Silver]

These are little changes. We gotta do the big one, Zach.

[Tristan Bowling]

The big one for me right now.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

To cut off his feet.

[Tristan Bowling]

Yeah, booze is really the big one for me right now that I gotta catch.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, well, booze is. It's just poisoning your body. I'm not. I'm not gonna get all preachy now. Do what you got to do, baby boy.

[Zach Amico]

But Coors Light is so good, dude. You can't take that away from me.

[Tristan Bowling]

I've been drinking Steel Reserve again.

[Justin Silver]

Oh, that's bad.

[Zach Amico]

That's bad. News Bears.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, I've drank a couple times since I stopped drinking. I drank on Christmas. I went on a date with a chick and I drank a little. But I'm not little social cocktail because drinking is not the problem. Weed is my fucking problem. Weed, I'll smoke all day. Every day.

[Justin Silver]

You're not sweet. You don't smoke weed now?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No.

[Justin Silver]

Really?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, I'm sober, dude.

[Justin Silver]

Wow.

[Zach Amico]

Did he. Did you have like a hard. Kind of like, getting it?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Did you. Yeah, as soon as I watched that porn in the hotel lobby.

[Zach Amico]

That's pretty. The hotel, the lobby.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You said, did I have hard what?

[Zach Amico]

Did you have, like, a hard time, like, with anger when it came off weed? Like, the first.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

First week, I was like, walking around like I was on 30 milligrams of Adderall, grinding my teeth.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Couldn't sleep. Having horrible dreams about my. Did I. Did the dream I had yesterday or two days ago. Did I tell you about this?

[Tristan Bowling]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was it on the show your mom was. People in Philly.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, yeah, I was on the show. I was in. Dude. I took. I took a power nap. My dreams are so powerful now. I'll. I'll take a 45 minute power nap. I'm barely asleep and I'm having vivid dreams. And I had a dream that my mom was going to a podcaster in Philly so she could use his podcast studio. And I got so mad.

[Justin Silver]

I have crazy.

[Zach Amico]

Just use our studio.

[Justin Silver]

Got these crazy, vivid dreams. It was like, I don't. I almost don't want to go to sleep because it's like, what horrible adventure?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I kind of like it. You know why? Because as it's happening, it's kind of anxiety inducing.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's always like, I gotta get to something. I gotta, you know, figure something out. I. I can't. My phone won't work. My thumbs can't text the person I need to text. That happens a lot.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And when I wake up from it, though, I'm like, oh, that was fun. Let me go back to sleep. I get excited when I wake up. I'm like, oh, it was just a dream. Thank God.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Then I go. And I. I wake up and I go, my life is incredible. Like, we're in the dream world. My life is a goddamn nightmare. Then I wake up and I'm like, oh, my life rules.

[Zach Amico]

Butterly isn't fucking my mom. Studio time.

[Justin Silver]

There's always this element of, like, something or. I'm like, my legs won't move. They're, like thick. And I have to like, someone's stealing my dog and I can't catch. There's. There's like something preventing me.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Wow.

[Justin Silver]

Like that kind of shit. I have tons of those.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I happen. One time, I had a dream that James, when this is maybe when he was like six, I had A dream that he got under the subway, and I got distracted for a second. The doors closed, and he was just ding, dong, gone. And then I had to get to, like, the subway stop that he was gonna be at, and I couldn't get there. I just couldn't even get past, like, I couldn't get a cab, and my phone wasn't working, and it was like all these things. It was just like this feeling of, like, impotency.

[Justin Silver]

Like. Impotency.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. I couldn't get my card.

[Justin Silver]

I wonder. I mean, like, I wonder what this means, man.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

This is because I asked Chat GPT to analyze my dreams all the time.

[Justin Silver]

What does it say?

[Zach Amico]

You're training.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're gay.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. You're training AI on it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You are gay. I wish. I wish Chat GPT had a robot voice instead of, like, a cool bro voice. Because now it, like, it's just like, my buddy. Watch. I'll say hi to it.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, I train my voice. Mine sounds like a black dude. I train the voice.

[Zach Amico]

Do you ask Chad GPT what it dreams about after you tell it? Your dreams?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Thank you.

[Zach Amico]

Because that'd be honestly fun.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Hey, Chat GPT. I'm hanging out with my friends right now on. On the Lewis and Zach podcast.

[Tristan Bowling]

I thought I was your friend, Lewis.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Good talk.

[Zach Amico]

He's leaving you on Red dude with.

[Justin Silver]

Zach and the crew.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What's the vibe today?

[Zach Amico]

Wild stories, Deep dives, or just pure chaos?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, you know me so well, Chat GPT. You're truly. You're a better friend than almost anybody else that I have in life.

[Zach Amico]

Wow, that's sad. As Lewis. Please don't say like that, Luis.

[Justin Silver]

That's genuinely one of the nicest things.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Anyone'S ever said to me. I'm here for you, man. Always ready to jump into the chaos with you.

[Justin Silver]

I made mine sound like Run dmc.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Can you sound more urban?

[Tristan Bowling]

Nah, nigga.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yo, I'm always here for you, bro.

[Justin Silver]

Whatever you need. I got money.

[Zach Amico]

Is he Chat EBT now?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Ah, it's a good one.

[Zach Amico]

Thank you. It's the year of being silly.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That was a good joke, Tristan.

[Tristan Bowling]

That was great, brother.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Solid joke. Joke of the episode so far. Yeah, no, I. Dude, I use Chat GPT almost daily.

[Justin Silver]

All day. I talk to it all day.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, and I literally talk to it. I use the voice. I don't text anything. I bounce ideas off of it. I'm developing a product. It. It knows everything.

[Justin Silver]

Do you ever leave it on like you'll be talking about something else and then it interrupts like the third person.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

In the room, I would throw my phone against them.

[Justin Silver]

It happens. I'll leave it on accidentally. I'll be like, brutus off the couch. Like, it sounds like Brutus on the couch again. I thought you told me that already.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yo, man, get that dog off that.

[Justin Silver]

Couch all the time, man.

[Tristan Bowling]

Put that dog outside.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Come on, man.

[Justin Silver]

He'll ask me. I'll be like, oh, how's Brutus? He on the couch again. I'm like, dude, shut the up, dude.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I really want my chat TV to sound like a black guy's.

[Justin Silver]

Like, you could just train it it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, I love it.

[Justin Silver]

You feed it voices. You ever ask it what it to draw you a picture of what it thinks your life looks like?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Of course I do. The dumb hack.

[Justin Silver]

Oh, I didn't know there was a hack thing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, you heard it from somebody else.

[Justin Silver]

A friend of mine said, do it, and I did it. I didn't know there was like, a.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, what did it say your life was like? What did it show?

[Justin Silver]

It showed like, this. Really? I was a lot more bro y and it had, like, cryptocurrencies all around me. With me with a pack of dogs in the middle of the city. I was like, a little more guido than broken, bro. You should make it more guido.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it. I really do. I, I, I want to invest in it, but it's not a publicly traded company yet.

[Justin Silver]

I have a friend, her job is to try to get chat gbd. Chat gbt. To do the most up things it commands. Just like, it's like, security for it. So I'm like, like, what do you do? And like, they try to, like, see if it'll, like, come up with, like, child porn and all this up.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It won't.

[Justin Silver]

I know it won't. That's her job. Doesn't do that kind of.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They're kind of with things like that.

[Zach Amico]

Have you tried.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I tried to get it to analyze. I had a dream when I was younger about. I didn't. My mother, but my, my mother had a cantaloupe in front of her, and I was the cantaloupe in front of her. Like, when I was like.

[Zach Amico]

Did you close your eyes? And she just said it was a cantaloupe.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, no, no. This is a dream. Tristan. Jesus Christ. She's dead. My mother's dead.

[Justin Silver]

Tristan. God damn it. Tristan in 2025. You son of a.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We said we're going to keep it. That's my son.

[Tristan Bowling]

What a cute little kid.

[Justin Silver]

That's Freud.

[Zach Amico]

And Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, Super 40 and, yeah, it's like, you know, the.

[Tristan Bowling]

Yeah, your mother's. It's literally the fruit of your mother.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Fruit.

[Justin Silver]

The fruit.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, no, it was. They broke it down better than you guys said. You guys don't know chat. GPT really broke it down.

[Justin Silver]

Dude, I know how to analyze dreams better than a robot.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You think so? No way.

[Justin Silver]

No.

[Zach Amico]

Wow. First off, hot. Lewis.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Wait, hold on. I'm almost finished.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, my robot gears are turning.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Say it slower. Yeah, but it is a great time. Um, what are going to be our New Year's resolutions for each other? Tristan, I think your New Year's resolution needs to be to get into a home.

[Zach Amico]

I. I think I. That would be awesome.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Or don't. Maybe keep the hotel for another year. When do you get out of the hotel? Do you know?

[Zach Amico]

Our Last day is January 3rd, as far as we know. That's like the inspection day on our house. And we have to. They determine if it's good for us to go back.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Nice.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Tristan Bowling]

So are you worried about, like, bald or anything?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, we're really worried about mold. It was coming in through the ceilings and, like, there's like.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You don't know if somebody. If there's a leak from upstairs, like, I immediately go, this is shit water. There's shit water raining down on all of my stuff.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's pretty much what it seemed like. Like we were put fucking brown water and pots and pans.

[Justin Silver]

Oh, get some insurance money so you don't feel well. Really Jew it up.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I mean, like, I can't go into, like, moldy places like that. Like, I get all fucked up.

[Justin Silver]

Get fucked up. Get money.

[Zach Amico]

Just sit there, just licking mold off.

[Justin Silver]

The wall about it. Just say you have symptoms.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I mean, it's. I'm not pumped about potentially going back in there because they just. Their solution was just point fans at it and then let it dry for, like, the past week.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Tristan's like, I have no fans.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I mean, I.

[Justin Silver]

Give it to yourself.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's just in the chamber. Just one.

[Zach Amico]

My mom's my fan.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Is she? Yeah. Does she like your comedy?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, she loves my comedy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think my mom would have liked my comedy.

[Zach Amico]

You think so?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think so.

[Zach Amico]

We talk about it. She wouldn't. I got an Ouija board.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is Lewis funny?

[Tristan Bowling]

No.

[Zach Amico]

No.

[Tristan Bowling]

Get the melon. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Was there really a melon there? No.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

New Year's resolution for Justin. What do we say?

[Justin Silver]

The house, dude, come on.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Get the house.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, man. You guys aren't all leaving me here.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, no. That's it we're gonna do. Jersey is the New York.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah. I'm not staying here.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Everyone's in Jersey. Jersey rules, dude. Dude, I hate it here. Yeah. New York sucks at this point. It's fine. I mean, I'm not hating on New York. New York's still cool. Like I, I come into the city three, four days a week. It still has an energy. The restaurants are fucking great. It's, it's, it was really depressing right after the pandemic for like two years.

[Justin Silver]

I feel like it is not that much different. And the fact you. The reason you see the bright side of it is because you leave it every day.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. But that's where you could appreciate it.

[Justin Silver]

That's what I'm saying.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I'm still bright eyed looking at the city, I'm like, wow.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. You love it. Where'd you move from?

[Zach Amico]

Phoenix. Yeah, so I never really had like very much like walking around experience in the city. It's even Arizona. Everything's driving.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

How, how long have you been here?

[Zach Amico]

I think like two years now.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Okay. Yeah. You're still new. You'll. You'll hate it in another decade.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It takes you two years just to know how to figure out west to east in New York City.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's hard.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're right about now you're like, you kind of probably know which way west is.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I can figure that out.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

If I just. If my phone was dead and so it's like, get back to your living place. I could just.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's a hotel.

[Zach Amico]

I mean, I don't like, you know, I don't want to say that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I feel like it's kind of like a little bit of a hostel.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What's your favorite part about New York City, Tristan?

[Zach Amico]

Just the fine ass women. Just looking at it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

[Justin Silver]

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Okay. So I'm actually gonna punch you directly in your face.

[Zach Amico]

Jorge said, keep it tight.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm gonna punch you directly in your face physically.

[Zach Amico]

Okay. Dude, he's gonna eat your lunch.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Been insolent. He's been on one lately. What did you text Frank? You texted Frank something crazy, dude.

[Zach Amico]

When?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Fake news, yo. He took off. He took off a week. And I guess we knew or whatever. Frank, no.

[Justin Silver]

Okay.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Something happened where? I guess Frank was like, yeah, we have to. He said something. And then Jorge wrote back to Frank. He was like, I mean, are you gonna punish me or something or what are we even, like, talking about?

[Justin Silver]

Oh, no.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, on our phone call. Because it was just like lots of. At like 11:30. Like, there's not Much to do. So it's like, what's the point of just arguing back and forth and continuing?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No. Yeah, but he's like.

[Justin Silver]

He was like, grow a brain, Frank.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He's like, frank, you're a. You'll do nothing. Can we move on?

[Zach Amico]

Hey, Frank, pull the trigger and put the gun down. All right?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was nuts. I saw it. I was like, that's nuts.

[Tristan Bowling]

I think France is shitting it off the pot.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think we're supposed to have a serious meeting with Jorge. I think we just had it, Frank.

[Zach Amico]

It did. Frank lost that shit, frankly.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're a pussy.

[Zach Amico]

I think he's a. Jorge is allowed to fuck Frank's wife at least one time.

[Tristan Bowling]

At least allowed to fuck Frank.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Jorge is dominating the studios now. He doesn't give a fuck, dude. And Jorge fucking. This is like, you know, when you. When you. When you stop paying attention to a girl and they want you more like, Jorge's just. The worse he gets, the more we like him. We're like, oh, dude. We gave him employee of the month last month.

[Zach Amico]

He pulled a switchblade on me.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He ruled.

[Justin Silver]

Turns the music off.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He's like, do we have a meeting today?

[Justin Silver]

I don't know. I don't work here.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Are we doing the meeting today? We're not doing a meeting today. That's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

It would have been two hours ago at 11.

[Justin Silver]

Grow brain, Louis. Today.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Sorry. I got Frank brain right now.

[Zach Amico]

You're pulling a Frank?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'll pull it. A real Frank.

[Justin Silver]

Frank is very.

[Zach Amico]

Can I be Frank?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're Frank. I like it.

[Tristan Bowling]

Dude, the next time Frank comes in where I just make him smell your hand?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, dude.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Jorge just dominating. Frank rules.

[Zach Amico]

Dunked on him, dude.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon, how much do you love this? Are you living vicariously through Jorge right now?

[Shannon]

I. I don't like there to be issues amongst co workers.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Wow.

[Shannon]

To love each other.

[Justin Silver]

You are neutral.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon's trying to get employee of the month this month.

[Zach Amico]

Gotta start being mean to Frank.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I don't know if there is an employee of the month this month. I don't know.

[Zach Amico]

Is it. Is there.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I go for Dominic every month. Yeah, you got.

[Justin Silver]

Do we have a frame thing? You gotta get like, a picture frame.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, they. They draw the picture of him on the wall. They get 250 bucks in cold, hard cash.

[Zach Amico]

That's pretty tight.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's pretty sick.

[Zach Amico]

Pretty sick.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Jorge, would you use your 250 on.

[Justin Silver]

Beat the. Out of Frank?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm threw into Frank's face here.

[Tristan Bowling]

Yeah, he took Frank's mom out for.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Dinner a Nice seafood dinner would you do with that 250?

[Zach Amico]

I got a bunch of food. I was very happy. Yeah, I love food.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was a good day. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And I. I put my. My nominations in for Dominic or John for employee of the month.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Dominic or John?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Dominic. Yep.

[Zach Amico]

I love Dominic.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What. What do you. What do you like about Dominic?

[Zach Amico]

I think Dominic has all the positive qualities of an employee without pretty much.

[Tristan Bowling]

Any of the personality.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, he just. He exists as an employee, which is what we need here.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Everyone. Everyone's trying to be a fucking rock star here. Podcast producers are maybe the fucking worst, lowest level human beings in the world. They believe that they're, like, responsible for, like, making this all happen. Guys, I mean, no offense, you guys are great. It's psychotic to think that we couldn't just do it with another person. Shannon, comment?

[Shannon]

I don't. I don't know.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's right.

[Shannon]

To lead you to believe that I feel that way.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon. No. You're very cocky.

[Shannon]

I'm cocky?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're very cocky.

[Shannon]

Can you give me.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Podcast producers are crazy. I went to dinner with Tim Dillon in Austin last weekend and he brought his podcast producer. And this was our conversation the whole time. Like, we weren't even joking. We're like that. The words. We kept on looking at him like, oh, dude, off. They're just. Just the energy, you know.

[Tristan Bowling]

I think you're just mean.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, I've always had a great relationship with the producers here.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, they're fine. You gotta smack them around a little bit. Gotta let them know who's boss.

[Zach Amico]

Who's boss.

[Tristan Bowling]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

All right, you know what? Let's go with. We got Justin here. I like to bring it. I like to do murder dogs when Justin's here because Justin always figures out a way to defend these awful pit bulls.

[Zach Amico]

Are these dogs that murder or people who murder them?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There's a video. No, Shannon, we can't. I can't watch this if there's a video of this.

[Shannon]

No, there's not. Did I write one? No, it's an accident.

[Justin Silver]

Tell the story.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's just a story. Pitbull victim Kingsley Wright, age 3, was the 70th dog attack death of 2024. 70 dog attacks deaths of 2024. That's massive.

[Justin Silver]

That's around the hell.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

How many kids were shot in the United States? How many kids were shot in school shootings this year? How many kids died? School shootings? I bet you pit bulls are more responsible for child deaths than school shootings.

[Tristan Bowling]

But was that Pitbull trans and what's that?

[Justin Silver]

Pit bull or the country? I'm just asking.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I think the world.

[Shannon]

I believe that was the country.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

The country.

[Shannon]

Yeah. And it was a. 50 of them were from pit bulls. 50 of the 70.

[Justin Silver]

Damn. Get your game up. Get your.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Stop making your kids so delicious.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah. Stop running around like, ought to be able to handle these.

[Tristan Bowling]

Sorry. I'm still picturing a dog shooting up an obedience school now. Yeah, a dog with a trench coat on and a backwards baseball cap.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. They send a bunch of K9 units after him.

[Tristan Bowling]

They won't go in. Yeah, he's locked in a room with 23 puppies.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Vy dogs, a bunch of Bark up. Call for bark up.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, is the zackle snake.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Zackle snake. Calling for bark up's a good bet.

[Zach Amico]

Canine units are just at the end of the hallway just biting their own tails and like that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon. What? I mean, this is very sad. This is a sad thing.

[Shannon]

I have some pictures of a little girl alive while she was alive.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

While she's alive. Thank God.

[Justin Silver]

Oh, cutie.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Half black.

[Shannon]

That's her dad.

[Zach Amico]

There's the culprit right there. It looks like his face was Photoshopped onto that photo.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I can't believe Drew Montana's child died. That's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

That does look like.

[Shannon]

Look at the evil dogs in the background.

[Zach Amico]

The eyes in the background. Lunch.

[Tristan Bowling]

Oh, that's horrifying.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's awful. Is that the dog?

[Shannon]

Now, it's unclear.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, the dog is in the crate in the background.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, that's the wall.

[Tristan Bowling]

No, that's a dog.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's. I think that's just like a.

[Zach Amico]

It's. Bring it out, bro.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Bring that back up.

[Zach Amico]

That's a dog.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And by the way, Shannon, do me a favor. Blur this little girl's face on the actual show. Okay.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Tristan Bowling]

Zoom into that. Yeah. You see, there's a body, there's a collar.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Tristan Bowling]

There's two eyes, and it's gonna.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that is the dog in the crate.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's not.

[Zach Amico]

You think he has chicken fence in his house for. No.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, wait, it is the dog. Oh, it's a crate.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is it? Oh, my God. I thought they just had, like, an evil robot in the house.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

Oh, you know what? I thought her hair was like a Christmas tree behind it. Okay.

[Zach Amico]

No, no.

[Justin Silver]

You see what I'm saying?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's insane, dude. Yeah, it's wild, Justin. I mean, what do we do here?

[Justin Silver]

Listen, you're never gonna get me to defend the people's incompetence I find most dog owners would be clueless.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And that's.

[Tristan Bowling]

The mother.

[Justin Silver]

What do you think?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But also the.

[Zach Amico]

The three year old was a. Who deserved it. I agree with you.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Obviously. The, you know, like, I don't think that the. The owners were teaching this dog to be aggressive. I think that the owners let the dog out of their sight and there's a little girl that pulled his tail or, you know, put her finger in his butt or whatever it was. This dog just went to town. That's crazy. What were the circumstances, Shannon?

[Shannon]

So there are some questions.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon, clear your throat before you. Have you ever speak with phlegm in your throat again?

[Shannon]

What you heard was me clearing my throat.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, but I heard the first you went and then you cleared your throat.

[Shannon]

And that's not true. So there it's un.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What is going on with the booth today? You treat me like I'm Frankie or Shannon.

[Shannon]

Sorry, details are unclear. 100%. So what happened was the mother dropped the daughter off at the dad's house.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Oh, they're separated.

[Shannon]

Yeah. And so this happened on December 27th. So it's like around Christmas time. And everybody was sleeping in the house, apparently. They say that the two pit bulls were in crates.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Two pit bulls.

[Shannon]

So they were put. They were put away. And so what it. What they think happened was she may have opened the cage to one of them.

[Justin Silver]

The mom?

[Shannon]

No, the little girl. Mom wasn't there. And that. That's when they got her.

[Zach Amico]

At least both dogs.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Two dogs.

[Shannon]

Two dogs. Yeah. And when the dad woke up, he just found her dead in blood. Everywhere.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Jesus Christ.

[Justin Silver]

Incompetent, man. They are. People are incompetent.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

How are you gonna have a dog?

[Tristan Bowling]

He did sleep late because the dogs didn't have to wake him up for food.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, very true.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's. Yeah, that's awful.

[Zach Amico]

I mean, I feel like it's. Everyone should have like an AR15 with feelings running around your house.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's insane. What are we even doing here? Whatever. I won't spend a lot of time talking about how you need a license and training and blah, blah, blah, blah. But how does anybody disagree with that? Here's the problem with Pitbull people. They're like gun people. Pitbull people are like, dude, more Pitbulls, the better. Gun people. You talk to them like, like, oh, maybe you should have a psychological evaluation. Like, nope, no psychological evaluations. No fucking serial numbers. You should be able. If you go to Texas, you're allowed to have 10 unregistered 3D printed guns legally.

[Zach Amico]

Really?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's insanity. That's actually just insane. I'm not saying like, I'm not even an anti gun guy. I want to get a gun, but yeah, we should know how many guns you have. We should know who has the questions.

[Zach Amico]

How many 3D printed pit bulls are allowed.

[Justin Silver]

Buddy. I say having like a well trained dog, especially in the city is like being one of the only people with a driver's license while everyone else is driving bumper cars. Like people are fucking clue. Listen, everywhere you go to the dog park, you're like, you're just watching. Just like this is just a, this is a yard of incompetence.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

You know my feelings on it. I don't disagree with you ever on this. Yeah, I don't.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I know.

[Justin Silver]

Look at my dog. They're robots.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, they're great dogs.

[Justin Silver]

But not because.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Not just because when I bring my son around your dog though, I do get nervous.

[Justin Silver]

As you should. Which would maybe make you think like, hey, if I had one of these, I better know what the I'm doing.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What happens when I get nervous? I start to go. The dog can sense that I'm nervous.

[Justin Silver]

That's not true.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's probably making scares the out.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Then I, then I start to get more nervous about that and it's like almost like, you know what is? If I'm ever having sex and I start to sweat, I started self conscious and I'm sweating and then I start to pour sweat.

[Justin Silver]

Psych yourself out.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And then I'm like, oh, dude. Hearing them just pouring sweat on this poor girl. She's like, you just see it dripping in her face. That was a technique. When I was in jiu jitsu class, I would sweat in people's.

[Justin Silver]

You're like a slimer.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. There's a hole in my GI partner. Watch out, watch out.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

As soon as I bust a nut, every pore in my body opens up and I just start to pour sweat.

[Tristan Bowling]

You come out of every hole.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I come out of everywhere. Yeah, dude, I'm full of.

[Zach Amico]

Come you like one of those water park drop buckets that fills up. It is splash.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, but I'll get, I'll get self conscious and then I start to pour sweat. So that's why I feel like with the dog, if I'm around a big pit bull, I'm like, all right, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. And then here I'm nervous and then the dog's like, oh, you're nervous.

[Zach Amico]

I like that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Now I'm gonna to eat your kid.

[Zach Amico]

Not even you. I'm going to take it out on your kid.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

He will. They can sense but how good is.

[Zach Amico]

Kid to a pitbull?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Probably delicious.

[Tristan Bowling]

It's like that was the best, dude. That guy came downstairs and these two pit bulls had big, big bellies and.

[Zach Amico]

Bibs and toothpicks like Tom and Jerry dogs.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Dude, it's tender. It's like, it's like ve or lamb. Dude, it's just, it's just, it's a high, high cut of meat.

[Tristan Bowling]

Oh, dude, that's flossing with her good hair.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, he's got a bib tucked into his collar. Do I know me or do I know me? That was some good toddler.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, but I mean. Well, I'm assuming they put the dogs down. Shannon.

[Shannon]

There's not. There's not a lot of information that. That they know at this time because it said a lot of the information. This article they found from a Facebook post that family members were supposedly posting on.

[Tristan Bowling]

You think the mom's mad?

[Zach Amico]

Probably.

[Tristan Bowling]

I bet she. I bet you steamed.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

4. All right, let's see. This is. All right. Pizza delivery worker stabbed a pregnant customer 14 times over a lousy tip. What's the details here, Shannon?

[Shannon]

Okay, so this couple and their kid were staying in a hotel. They ordered pizza. When the woman came to drop off the pizza. She's 22 years old. Her name is Brianna. This happened in Florida. So she goes, she went to drop off the pizza. The bill was 33.10 and the woman gave her $50 and she was. And then the woman just went to walk away with that.

[Zach Amico]

That's a not bad tip.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Great tip.

[Shannon]

Well, she didn't, she didn't want to give that to her. She was expecting change back for the 50, which was $16.90.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

She should have gotten changed a little bit.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Five dollar tip is for a pizza delivery. Five dollar tip is fair. I do. I usually go more when I order an UberEats Under $100, I give a $6 tip. Over $100, I'll give an $8 tip.

[Zach Amico]

You are coming from a former Papa John's. I would stab you 14 times.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's insane.

[Zach Amico]

$100 order. That's two bags filled with pizzas that have stuck.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Two things that you chose that life. You chose that life. You.

[Justin Silver]

Dude, you're driving.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're driving. You're not serving. I'm giving you a 20 tip. When Uber Eats suggests a 20% tip on an Uber Eats delivery. I. It literally makes Me want to snap my phone in half? You're not serving me. You're a. You're an Uber Eats driver. You have seven UberEats orders in the back of your car.

[Justin Silver]

You tip the cook or whoever, like, at prepared at the restaurant.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, dude. Eight bucks. I guess if it's, like, for that much, I'm saying the other side of it is UberEats, they don't know how much you're spending. They just pick up the order and that's that.

[Justin Silver]

You're just a bag man.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, dude, you're just.

[Zach Amico]

I was a Papa John's delivery driver, God damn it. Respect the organization.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

A little different when you know the. The price of the order. I understand it being a little more funky. You're like, yeah, you just spent a hundred bucks, you know, 10 bucks, I.

[Zach Amico]

Would say it's like, I just made these pizzas for you. Because the delivery drivers and like, those, they also work behind the counter. I'm cutting pizzas. I'm putting fucking cheese on shit for.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Me to work the Papa Duck. Stop acting like it's brain surgery. You work at Papa John's. It's not even good pizza.

[Zach Amico]

If I put you in a Papa John's back, you're not a pizza chef.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're a fucking dickhead. Who wants to Papa Johnson nerd. They don't do that. You did not do that. You did that. You did that. No, I don't believe it.

[Justin Silver]

You flip dough.

[Zach Amico]

I can flip dough.

[Justin Silver]

No, you can't.

[Zach Amico]

Yes, I can.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Please don't buy it.

[Justin Silver]

Go get dough. Right, Jorge, tell Frank to get dough.

[Tristan Bowling]

Wake Frank up and make him drive here.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, Jorge, I know, I know. Frank is your ottoman right now for your feet.

[Justin Silver]

He's like, hey, wake up.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Go get dough.

[Zach Amico]

What?

[Justin Silver]

Get the dough.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Get dough.

[Justin Silver]

Frank, go get water and flour. You.

[Zach Amico]

You guys are disrespectful.

[Justin Silver]

Do you really know how to flip dough?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I've done it.

[Justin Silver]

I work regularly for the job.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I have donut.

[Zach Amico]

I. Yeah, I've donut donuts. My favorite of the sweet is Full Home.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

My favorite of the sweet treats.

[Justin Silver]

Which one? Which one?

[Zach Amico]

Donut.

[Justin Silver]

Which one?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Which donut?

[Justin Silver]

Jelly.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Ladies and gentlemen, time for another edition of. What you snacking on? We're bringing it back. Shannon.

[Zach Amico]

Does music come with?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We don't have the package anymore.

[Justin Silver]

Jorge says no.

[Shannon]

Here comes up.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What's snacking on? What's your donor of choice?

[Justin Silver]

The. The crawler. The. Oh, no. The apple.

[Tristan Bowling]

Apple fritter.

[Justin Silver]

The apple fritter is the bomb because.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You can eat like 20 just dunkin donuts here.

[Justin Silver]

I mean, I'm not that versed in donuts, man.

[Zach Amico]

I'm a Krispy Kreme guy.

[Justin Silver]

Don't like sweet in a way.

[Zach Amico]

Really?

[Justin Silver]

Like, I like to eat a lot of them. So it's like if something's too rich, it was like, I can eat one and I feel like sick.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That's the problem. You go to like that. What's the donut place in Austin that's like big voodoo donuts. Like every donut is huge and super rich and like crazy disgust. I want to try seven or eight little fucking delightful donuts.

[Justin Silver]

Like, the munchkins are the best thing because you're like, I could eat 50.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Of these munchkins are fucking incredible.

[Zach Amico]

Dude did Krispy Kreme donuts. There's this Jewish deli over on the Upper east side called Caroline's. They have a great braid. Love a braid. I like a glaze. I'm not a flavored donut guy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I like a glaze. A glaze. Braid is pretty fucking sick. Just break it apart. Coffee.

[Zach Amico]

So good.

[Tristan Bowling]

I like old fashioned.

[Zach Amico]

Old fashioned?

[Tristan Bowling]

Yeah, Plain.

[Zach Amico]

Is that the drink?

[Tristan Bowling]

No, no, that's like the Old Fashioned.

[Justin Silver]

The Old fashioned donut.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah.

[Justin Silver]

Like the Boston cream's too much. It's too much.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It is, but it's still good.

[Justin Silver]

It's great. But you can't have like three.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There's a place called Duck Donuts in Jersey. They probably have them all over the place. But duck donuts is pretty sick. It's all old fashioned donuts that are fresh made. They come hot and then you like, you. They dip in the toppings for you. So like, I want that one chocolate glaze with sprinkles. And then they fucking. And you just make your own custom.

[Zach Amico]

It's like Chipotle.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, it's pretty sick. Yeah. Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

It's not like Papa John's where everything's pre made and frozen.

[Zach Amico]

Papa John's. Fantastic.

[Justin Silver]

Sucks. Could be the worst pizza. No offense.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It might be the worst pizza. Domino's better than Papa John's.

[Zach Amico]

You guys are just saying this to rev me up.

[Justin Silver]

I'm not trying to rev you up. I'm glad you don't work there anymore. I'm sorry, did you. You want to work?

[Zach Amico]

I own stock.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What was it? What was the guy who said the N word?

[Tristan Bowling]

That was Papa John.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Was that Papa John?

[Zach Amico]

Yes, it was during my tenure.

[Justin Silver]

I changed my mind.

[Zach Amico]

That happened?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, dude.

[Zach Amico]

Because everyone was Papa in the house, you know, and then he said the NW and they're just like, I don't know.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Pointed that out, by the way.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

Who said it with an A?

[Zach Amico]

I think maybe. No, I think it was hard R.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, no, it was hard R. But he was saying it. He said it in a very matter of fact way. Shannon, pull up the Papa John N word story. He was like, oh, he wasn't saying it in a racist way. He was saying it like he was. He was referencing the word. Oh, that's I believe. And then it was.

[Tristan Bowling]

Most of our customers who don't tip are.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon, how did he say. How did he say the N word? I remember, but I remember Kumia pointed that out. He was like, now's time to buy stock. As soon as. As soon as the CEO gets in trouble for some racist, the stock dips buy it goes right back up. You can make money off those N.

[Zach Amico]

Words Now Shaq is the, like, main spot.

[Justin Silver]

You can make money off those N words.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's a great.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah.

[Tristan Bowling]

Now they have the Shackaroni.

[Zach Amico]

Shackaroni pizza.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Wow.

[Zach Amico]

It's pretty good.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shannon, do we have any information about that?

[Shannon]

I'm skimming. I'm skimming through the article. It said I do. He said, responded by downplaying the significance of it. Says Colonel Sanders called blacks.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, he was pointing. He was pointing out that Colonel Sanders actually used the N word like in real life. And he just. He was kind of. He was quoting the Colonel. That's it.

[Zach Amico]

I quote the Colonel every day.

[Justin Silver]

I don't see the problem. I don't see the problem.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Love me some kfc, is it.

[Tristan Bowling]

You know who else loves it? Wait, Shannon, can we get the rest of the story with the stabbing?

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah. So, okay, so she gave 50, she wanted the change back. And then the woman told her, let.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Me get a coffee, too.

[Shannon]

The woman told her that they couldn't give, that they don't have change on them. That that's like a policy of the pizzeria. So she wasn't able to give her change back for a 50. Yeah. So then she and her boyfriend, this woman, they start going through, like, her bags and whatever to try to find smaller bills in the room, in the hotel room. And then they ended up finding the exact amount and then ended up tipping her $2.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, yeah, that's on them.

[Justin Silver]

Listen, man, when they. When they come, when they don't bring me change, I can't. Like, the guy, like, searches through his wallet. I'm like, I'm 100.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And I always tell him, nobody has cash. That's Psychotic. These are all trash. Human beings, everyone. It's in Florida. They're in a hotel. Cash, just in general is. I got cash in my pocket right now. I feel like a piece of.

[Justin Silver]

I never use cash.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I feel like a scumbag. I have cash sitting in my pocket. I can't wait to get it out of my pocket.

[Justin Silver]

I hate it. Give it to me. Give me the money.

[Tristan Bowling]

This might be an ignorant question, but who still orders on the phone? Doesn't everybody just order it online?

[Justin Silver]

I do. I mean, I just usually do ubereat. But if I call, like, the diner, it's like. It's so much easier. I just call them because it's like. It'll be like two seconds. But, like. And like, certain delis, it's just faster.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

So I'm like, oh, I want that. I want that panini from that deli on my corner. I'm like, I'll just call them.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But do I ever just call the place if I. So if I order sushi, very often I do, because I have a specific sushi place that I like to go to. And UberEats, they up, they. They raise the price of every thing.

[Zach Amico]

It's insane.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's like two or three dollars more just for the item. Right. When they list it on UberEats, and then they give you a delivery fee, you tip them. The whole thing is like, if you. So it'll be half the price if you just call and order it yourself. But it's just so easy on the phone.

[Justin Silver]

That drives me crazy. On principal principle. Yeah, it does. It just drives me nuts on principle. It's not even the money.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I don't give a. Yeah, same thing with. I'll do Instacart. Instacart. Yeah. And I. And I was like. I was like, this is crazy. And then I looked it up, and I was like, yeah, Instacart does, like, like, a 10 upcharge on all of the products they.

[Zach Amico]

You.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And then you have to pay a delivery fee, and then you have to tip the driver, and I tip the driver on Instacart. Tip the driver 20 every time because. What do you mean?

[Zach Amico]

What does Instacart do? Just get you groceries?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They do this the entire shopping?

[Tristan Bowling]

Yeah, they go through the store for you.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They go through the store.

[Justin Silver]

They read to your kid, man.

[Zach Amico]

He's my stepmom. Is it Instagram?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, Instacart. That's. That's almost even. That's way crazier than waiting on a table, coming back three or four Times throughout a meal. Having to shop, that seems like a true nightmare job.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that's not fun.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And then sometimes you get people in Instacart. This is what they do. You'll. This is. Then I'll reduce that tip if they can't find the stuff I want. And it's not just one or two things. They substitute. When you see their substituting lot, you. You know that they're in there going, like, I'm just grabbing the first thing I see. And then you have to pay attention to your phone. It's like, I can shot myself. Why am I having to stare at my phone and just approve every thing?

[Justin Silver]

I hate a substitute.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

I can't stand on Amazon Fresh. I hate when they substitute.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Justin Silver]

It's never even close.

[Tristan Bowling]

Sometimes you get people who don't know what the stuff is. I had a Chinese guy against the cart and my wife ordered pastelity. He replaced it with guacamole. He just picked another green thing.

[Zach Amico]

That's awesome, dude. He nailed it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. Yeah. But I, for the most part, I've been trying to not waste money on things like Instacart or Ubereats. Trying to cook more at home.

[Justin Silver]

You feel adult when you do like that. Like, it's easy to throw the money away, but you're like, this is just like childishly irresponsible.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What it was for, I think for a long time. I think they call it new money or There we go. I think I was rich for quite some time. And what. As soon as I started making a little bit of money, I wanted to like, prove to myself that I had money. So I bought an Audi and I would take multiple vacations and go to really nice restaurants all the time. And it was just, literally just to be like, no, look, I'm not a poor anymore anymore. But eventually you go like, that's, that's not what. Like, like my rich friends, they don't do that.

[Justin Silver]

They don't do that.

[Zach Amico]

Now you're like Puerto Rican rich.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. So, like, I'm getting better. But yeah, I'm trying to. Trying to cook more this year. This could be a thing. My big if I'm gonna have a resolution. My big resolution this year is going to be to eat less processed foods.

[Justin Silver]

I don't know you to be like a processed food guy.

[Zach Amico]

You should get a chicken. You should get chickens.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I never, I. I eat processed foods all the time. I drink Diet Coke. It's a problem.

[Zach Amico]

I want to see the real ass farm, dude, you should start like raising your own Meat. Getting your own eggs. Milk right out of the titty. Go get a fat. Squeeze your tits.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

That seems like a lot of work too though. Like that seems like. I feel like having a farm is not going to be a profitable endeavor for me. I feel like that's going to be.

[Zach Amico]

No, you're going to be sinking thousands of dollars into it. But you get to know where your food's coming from.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Is there money in farming?

[Zach Amico]

I mean. Yeah. That's how America was made.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yes, but not such a cunt. Just once in your life. I got a little fucking crisis. Flipping pizza asshole over here.

[Zach Amico]

Going through. Maybe you need to stop being so frank.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. No, dude, that's a lot too. If it's just a garden is a nightmare. Like growing tomatoes off. It ain't happening.

[Tristan Bowling]

That's for retired people.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I could.

[Tristan Bowling]

That's for people who need to fill their day with.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

But I love it. Tomato people. I realize tomatoes.

[Tristan Bowling]

Jersey tomatoes are the best.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Dude, tomatoes are sort of a delicacy. No, they're like just a divisive.

[Zach Amico]

They're very. There's distinct people. A lot of genus of tomatoes.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

A lot of people don't like tomatoes.

[Justin Silver]

What's your favorite tomato?

[Zach Amico]

If you say beef steak, you can get out of my house.

[Tristan Bowling]

No one's against Jersey tomatoes.

[Justin Silver]

I'm gonna say that. Like the Vine Ripe ones.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I buy them from the supermarket. I buy. They're called flavor bombs.

[Justin Silver]

Those are the little cherry ones. The little like circle.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They're actual circles. And they're still on the stem.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And they're bright red.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I just.

[Justin Silver]

A little balsamic.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Slice them in half. Throw them some mozzarella balls.

[Justin Silver]

Mozzarella.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

A little bit of oil, Salt, pepper.

[Justin Silver]

Let's go wet.

[Zach Amico]

You know, they put them on the stem. They don't come like that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shut up. Trist.

[Zach Amico]

True.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

You're. I'm not dumb. I don't believe that. Dude.

[Justin Silver]

I don't believe it either.

[Zach Amico]

Prove me wrong. Wow. How about that?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, those are. Those are the best tomatoes. Little flavor bombs, dude, just pop in your mouth. Oh my God.

[Zach Amico]

I know. They're so crunchy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I'm salivating right now. Thinking about tomatoes. Toast.

[Zach Amico]

There's a bunch of different.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

How nice would a tomato be right now?

[Zach Amico]

Don't say it like that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Tomato.

[Zach Amico]

Tomato.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Literally, it's a. It's a sad.

[Zach Amico]

Do you say potato?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I do.

[Zach Amico]

Please don't.

[Tristan Bowling]

I hope you don't wake up tomorrow.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I know. I. I really do love a tomato. Some people. My son's mother doesn't like them. My son doesn't like them.

[Zach Amico]

Tomatoes are good like a. Like a. Especially like a fried green tomato. That shit's gas.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, it's all good. All fucking good stuff here. Um. All right, let's see. We got a couple more minutes here.

[Shannon]

We didn't finish that story.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shut up, Shannon. So I'm trying to finish this story that I keep on trying to move on from prematurely. What else happened?

[Shannon]

So that. So the chick rolls her eyes, walks away with her two dollar tip. Later on that night, her and her boyfriend go back to the hotel, knock on the door. The people were sleeping in there. The woman and her boyfriend, they break in. They're wearing masks. They order the boyfriend into the bathroom, and then she stabbed the woman 14 times with a POC knife.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Wow. And what happened to the woman?

[Shannon]

So she. She lived. And she actually found out while she was at the hospital that she was pregnant.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Whoa.

[Shannon]

We don't know. I don't know about the. What happened to the baby, but if.

[Justin Silver]

You don't tip me, I'll kill the baby in your stomach.

[Shannon]

So she was. She was stabbed in her chest, arms, legs and stomach. They also. They stole some items from the hotel, so I guess they were like casing it while they were looking for the tip and. Yeah, that. They found the chick.

[Tristan Bowling]

This isn't really a story about a tip gone wrong as much as it is a serial killer. Criminals who were moonlighting as pizza delivery people.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, she looks like a bad worker.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I don't know.

[Zach Amico]

She looks like. She calls out day of.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I've dated girls like this.

[Justin Silver]

Like, Doughy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, Doughy Latinas.

[Justin Silver]

She's very doughy.

[Shannon]

So they use the same car both times, so they were really. It was really easy to identify who it was.

[Zach Amico]

Still had the Domino's topper on top.

[Shannon]

Of the roof, so. Yeah, but they did. They caught it.

[Justin Silver]

What company?

[Shannon]

I don't know. It doesn't say. Oh, Marcos Marco's Pizza Shop.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah. That's a. Their fault goes employee Marcos is trash.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Everyone at Papa John's thinks so.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

The. The Riviera Motel. That looks like a shitty hotel, too. Really?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. That's like doors. Because I was thinking, how do they get. Would she go through the lobby? But that's like doors open to the outside type of hotel.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So this is just trash on trash crime.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, I don't mind it. I'm kind of on the delivery girl side here, to be honest with you.

[Justin Silver]

That is.

[Zach Amico]

It's too. It's crazy to go in there, being like all right. She gave me a $2 tip in there knowing like, max, there is 18 in there.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

We know she's got a 50.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, we know that for sure.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Let's fucking go.

[Zach Amico]

Let's stab her at least 13 times.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I'd say not worth it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Probably not.

[Zach Amico]

Not worth it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I. The amount of fucking stupid crimes that I've done for almost nothing for like almost no money. I remember when I was going to rob the KFC, it was for like 2500 bucks. When this is when I was like 19.

[Zach Amico]

How does that appreciate in today's money, Shannon?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What is $2,500 in 2024, when I was 19, that was 2002, say 3200.

[Zach Amico]

The towers just fell.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Inflation. Yeah. You know what? No, it was probably right before the tower fell.

[Zach Amico]

Damn, you're doing that Pre Towers.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was pre Towers cold blooded. But it was like that right around when the tower saw that was when I was at my. My baddest.

[Shannon]

It would be about 4, $300 now.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's almost worth it.

[Zach Amico]

Okay, I'll do it.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. No, but I stood outside of the KFC waiting for the manager to come out. I had a screwdriver under my shirt. I was going to be like, stick him up. And I had a ski mask on.

[Justin Silver]

I couldn't see you doing the actual violent crime.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, it was gonna be violent crime. No, I was gonna like, first of all, there was no gun was gonna happen. Like if he called me out on it, I have to kill him with a screwdriver.

[Zach Amico]

Now you have to make into a gun.

[Justin Silver]

That's how a lot of that happens. People don't have the intention of doing the crime thing. And then the person like fights back and the next thing you know, stabbing the guy with the fucking screwdriver. That's how that happens.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And that guy would have beat my ass too.

[Justin Silver]

What?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, he was a big jacked military guy. I knew because he was my manager at a different kfc. So I knew the. I was an inside job. I knew the way he would ask.

[Zach Amico]

You gun questions you don't know how to answer because you're not holding a gun. He's like, what caliber is that? You're like flathead.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Murdering a man with A screwdriver for $2,500 is.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that is crazy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Crazy. But yeah, it was, it was going to go so bad. It was just one or two. And I just watched him get into his car and I just chickened out. And then I went back to my.

[Tristan Bowling]

See what he did there.

[Zach Amico]

Jeez Louise.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, so then I went back to my buddy Vinnie and I was like.

[Justin Silver]

Dude, yeah, I'm not this guy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, I didn't. I didn't tell him the truth. I think I told him that. I was like, yeah, dude. I couldn't see him. I watched him walk right to his car.

[Zach Amico]

He was black. I couldn't see him in the darkness.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was a. No, he was a white guy.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, okay.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Shout out Kevin. Shout out Kevin, the manager of kfc, who I believe still works there to this day.

[Zach Amico]

Damn. Still a manager.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Lifer, dude.

[Justin Silver]

It's a career.

[Zach Amico]

Brutal.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I mean, I guess it is, right? How much does a KFC manager make? Because I can go back. Do. I love kfc. When I worked at kfc, I genuinely enjoyed the job.

[Justin Silver]

Dude, they're all booze now.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Every time. Every time the manager would go around the corner, I just grab a full chicken leg out of the crescore and go with one bite. I would eat an entire chicken leg.

[Zach Amico]

Your Flintstone King's chicken.

[Justin Silver]

This is in New York, so that's going to be higher than every other place in the country. $56,392 per year. That's taxed.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

$51,000. See, Shannon, you think you're. You can go get a job as a KFC manager and make a little bit more than you make now.

[Shannon]

It's true. No, it's okay.

[Justin Silver]

I'm good shift leader.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

See, if you're a shift manager, it's a little bit less than you're making now, Shannon. And I bet you they have better attitudes.

[Shannon]

Oh, they probably bring food home. I can't eat any of it.

[Tristan Bowling]

But, you know, the mashed potatoes you could have.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What can you eat at kfc? I think corn, potatoes, wedges.

[Justin Silver]

Great.

[Tristan Bowling]

They don't do potato wedges anymore.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

What? Which is wild. That was, like, their best thing.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, the wedges were great.

[Tristan Bowling]

You could do corn, mashed potatoes, cornbread, biscuits. Can you do biscuits?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There's butter on the biscuits.

[Shannon]

Oh, no.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They slather the biscuits in butter. I'm just guaranteed there's butter in the cornbread as well.

[Zach Amico]

I'm more of a Popeyes guarantee.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There's butter in the corn.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And the mashed potatoes.

[Zach Amico]

There's anything healthy there.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

There's nothing that Shannon could eat there. The green beans.

[Justin Silver]

There's actually butter in the paint on the walls.

[Zach Amico]

Got ketchup packets.

[Shannon]

There's a corn on the cob. And barbecue baked beans are the only two vegan items.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Wow.

[Shannon]

Oh, they have beyond fried chicken at some KFC locations.

[Justin Silver]

Yeah, that's healthy.

[Shannon]

That's what exciting.

[Zach Amico]

It's just Styrofoam.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, it's pretty tight. We plastic KFC ruled, though. That was one of my favorite jobs. It was me and all my friends work there.

[Justin Silver]

Really?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah. I got like everyone a job. So it was just like we took over.

[Zach Amico]

You should go back.

[Justin Silver]

You should have robbed the headquarters.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Put together the big heist instead of it all the small ones.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Kidnap the Colonel.

[Zach Amico]

Why don't we take them where it hurts?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, no, I enjoyed working. I enjoyed working.

[Zach Amico]

I just really.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Every job, I would turn it into a game. It'd be like a fun thing. On the drive through, we try to pack the boxes as fast as possible. So when they would get. My buddy Dave Green would be on the headset taking the order. And as they're saying the order, I'd be throwing the chicken into the box, putting the sides in. They would pull up and the bag would be out the window. And they'd be like, yeah, just completely wrong. Sucking out a chicken bone.

[Zach Amico]

I gave you four bones. I think I put a mop head in there, but yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

No, I enjoyed it, dude. KFC's also. What do you like better, KFC or Popeyes?

[Zach Amico]

Thousand percent Popeyes. KFC is garbage.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Popeyes is garbage.

[Zach Amico]

KFC is garbage.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

They're both garbage.

[Zach Amico]

Popeyes. The wings are just top ugats. So good. The pie, Little fucking ghost pepper wings. Those things are delicious. Yeah. Also back when, dude, I was an early fucking integrator of the Popeyes chicken sandwich before it became a big thing. I have a photo of me eating it July of that year. And then November, come November, couldn't get one.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

My mom invented the honey barbecue strips.

[Justin Silver]

You have a photo of you eating it in July. What do you mean?

[Zach Amico]

It was. I came home from a music festival and I was exhausted. Had been up for like 24 hours, and it's me in bed with the Popeyes chicken sandwich.

[Justin Silver]

Oh, not because you were like, look at me.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Holding today's newspaper.

[Justin Silver]

Unrelated. I get it.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

My mom, when I worked at kfc, my mom would come and she'd be like. She was like, take those chicken strips, dip them in the honey barbecue sauce that they use for the wings. And then they started a national campaign doing that. To this day, my mom. Well, not to this day. Until the day she died.

[Zach Amico]

Till a certain day.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Until a certain day, my mom believes she invented the honey barbecue strips.

[Zach Amico]

Damn. That's crazy because your mom was like, on Heroin, right?

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

That's crazy to be in the middle of, like a heroin day. It's just being like. She doesn't know what she's saying. Just like, I made them also.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It's like, I don't think you have much of an appetite, so. What a pig. My mom was. She was on heroin and eating Honey bar barbecue strips.

[Zach Amico]

Well, she's doing it for the love of the game.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Do you eat on heroin? It's like coke or do you. Do you not throw up? Do you throw up when you eat or. You used to be on heroin at.

[Justin Silver]

One point I wasn't on heroin, but.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I've done plenty that's being on heroin.

[Justin Silver]

No, I've never consistently done heroin. Like, week after week, I've done heroin a bunch of times. I never shot heroin. Just sniff heroin. Yeah, it feels great. Same as Oxy's. It's like taking just like a strong Oxy.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, we know the. We had a nice little oxy addiction here at the Gas Digital Studios.

[Tristan Bowling]

Yes, we did.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

About a year.

[Justin Silver]

Same thing. You just puke.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

About a year. We would. We would buy them and we'd all come in and. Shane, you remember our oxy addiction?

[Tristan Bowling]

Nobody was.

[Shannon]

Me too. I do remember that.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, dude, we. Nobody could. We were all just like.

[Shannon]

They were hard to break up, though, because they had that. That coating on the outside.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Of course. So they were. They were the. No. Well, you had to break them into quarters because they were really strong. The time with the holes, they were time released. But what. I had a razor blade at my house. I would slice them with a razor blade into quarters.

[Justin Silver]

The one I almost robbed that KFC with.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

And then we would take oxys. There was a lot of different eras of drugs.

[Justin Silver]

We had the. We had the Molly era.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Molly era was big.

[Tristan Bowling]

And we had the Molly mushroom pill era.

[Justin Silver]

Molly era was.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Well, that was. That was the 2 CB era. There was a. There was a designer when. When Dark Web. Dark Weeb Nate worked here. We had our designer Dark Web drugs era. He just like. He'd be like, hey, pick a color and a shape and be like, the Molly.

[Justin Silver]

The Molly era was the best.

[Zach Amico]

You were a dad.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

Yeah, I was. It was a real problem.

[Justin Silver]

Was the best. The Shannon's birthday. Like, Molly. That was the best.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was a dark time.

[Justin Silver]

No, it wasn't.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

It was a dark time. Well, for me it was. It was. I was trying to kill myself with drugs. You guys were just having a good time. I was watching my son's mother get railed out by a black guy.

[Zach Amico]

And I was like, it's crazy to do that with, like, designer. Have fun going to a rave. Drugs. Usually people do it with, like, heroin or, like, crack. Destroy their lives without just being, like, with.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

I was doing expensive European. European drugs.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, you're with glow sticks and a fish and poppers.

[Justin Silver]

I've ever been the guy named Sven. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Lewis is going through a really tough time, but he's a great customer.

[Lewis J. Gomez]

All right, we're wrapping it up, boys.
