Timestamps: 09:28–12:12

5. Nostalgic Family Vacations

Timestamps: 17:48–21:53

• Family road trip in a Jeep Liberty from British Columbia to Disneyland. Che remembers the tense moment of his dad forgetting his mom’s birthday:

7. First Encounters With Weed: Canadian Culture

• “My mom goes, ‘Oh, everyone smokes weed, Che.’...I went, excuse me?!” (27:09)
• His first time getting high was extreme: “I hotboxed the car with them...coughing relentlessly and then just being like fully space cased out there.” (28:29–28:41)
• Vancouver’s reputation: “Vancouver weed is known as being some of the best weed in the world. Even as a teenager, we were like weed snobs talking about how sticky it is. Your grinder would get gummed up...” (29:12, 29:49)
• Creative methods: “One thing we always had in my house was apples, and I got very, very good at crafting apple bongs...then you would just whip it into the woods after.” (34:47–34:52)

8. High School & Terry Fox

Timestamps: 31:35–33:19

• Che attended Terry Fox Secondary, named for the Canadian hero. He explains to the American hosts:
  • “He got cancer...lost his leg, and then ran across Canada on a wooden leg to raise money for cancer research...every year we would have a Terry Fox run.” (31:40–32:36)

9. Boxing: Adolescence in the Ring

• Vivid account of losing to a more skilled opponent:
  • “He started like punching me in my chest and my shoulders. I never had anyone do that to me...I go out on like one leg. I literally remember going black like Terry Fox leg.” (39:44–40:38)

10. First Car, Scuba, and Biking

Timestamps: 41:12–42:24

• Che never officially owned a car until his dad gave him the F150 when he moved to a beach town for scuba instructor training.
• His default mode of transportation: “Has always been a bicycle...built me a Franken-bike and I rode that guy into the dirt.” (41:50–42:24)
• Worked in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, as a scuba instructor for three years.

11. House Parties & Neighborhood Diplomacy

Timestamps: 42:29–44:44

• Threw two major house parties while parents were in Portugal:
  • “A couple of my friends like moved in. We would drink during the day...grilling in the back, we just lived up there.”
• Che almost had to go door-to-door to apologize after police were called — saved only by his mom getting into an argument with a nosy neighbor. “These guys saved me that humiliation was her fight with one of our neighbors.” (44:24)

Episode Tone & Closing

Che’s storytelling is animated, crude, and honest, always delivered with a comedian’s edge. He’s open about the adolescent rebellion, family quirkiness, and his transition from jock to joker. The episode captures raucous laughter, occasional heartfelt nostalgia, and a classic dose of Canadian Gen-Y perspective. The rapport between Che, Ryan, and the co-hosts adds energy and plenty of side banter.

[Ryan Sickler]

If someone's ever ridden in this seat before and you said, actually, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're. You're another Canadian yes, back here. Who in your world had this seat?

[Jada Reyno]

So where I used to go get babysat. It was my best friend Brandon. His mom had a Volkswagen or not a Volkswagen, a Volvo that had this like you could look out seat. And I remember cuz I I grew up in. In B.C. about an hour outside of Vancouver. It rains like crazy over there. So what I remember most about it is the hinge. You could see on the back wiper going back and forth. And sometimes when we would sit back there, we would there be like in the back like sticks or like a popsicle stick. We would take it and put it in the hinge and watch it crush it and then like put the next

[Ryan Sickler]

thing in what it come. The wind. You put the window down so you could reach.

[Jada Reyno]

No, the hing like so you can

[Ryan Sickler]

see the hinges on the inside with

[Podcast Co-host]

the blades on the outside.

[Jada Reyno]

Exactly. I didn't know that like whatever that mechanical part is that it would go and you could see it like if you stuck your finger in there, it would crush your finger. But we love just. And it was probably supposed to be covered, but we just put in there and watch it break. That was very. That was the most mesmerizing part for us.

[Ryan Sickler]

And you remember that?

[Jada Reyno]

Oh yeah, I know.

[Ryan Sickler]

That's core memory. Isn't it weird?

[Jada Reyno]

I honestly until you said have you sat in the way back seat. At first I went no. One of these just like that. I. I went no. And then I remembered I was like, no, yeah, I totally have, dude. And that's that exactly what popped into my head. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

Boom. All right, so you're from Canada. Give us a little bit of background. Mom, dad, siblings.

[Jada Reyno]

So my, my dad is from Haiti. My mom is from. She's from Que, but she's anglophone Quebecois, so she never learned how to speak French. They met in bc. My. I have one sister and two brothers, but they're both from different marriages. So my dad had two kids, then my mom had a daughter and then they met and had me. I grew up mostly with my sister on my mom's side. Then when I was like five or six, my brother, they were. My brother and sister on my dad's side were in Montreal. They move over or. No, he. My bro just. My brother moves over when I'm like 5 or 6. And then my sister moves over when I'm like 12 or 14 or something like that.

[Ryan Sickler]

All with mom now?

[Jada Reyno]

Oh yeah, all living. But then my sister had moved out at this point, my brother had moved out. So I Kind of lived with them all at different stages of my life.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah. And where's dad?

[Jada Reyno]

B.C. everyone. Everyone's in B.C. now. Oh, my brother moved to Calgary.

[Podcast Co-host]

Okay.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

So what's that like growing up like? Well, it's not different for you because actually you're born into it. You're the youngest.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

So this is normal to you. But they're actually the ones that had to each other first and, and figure out if they get along and stuff before your ass even gets there.

[Jada Reyno]

They got introduced all at different times. I was super excited to like, have a brother. I was like, this is cool as hell. And then he would like put me in the Boston Crab all the time.

[Podcast Co-host]

I haven't heard about the. My brothers, we used to break each other's backs to Boston.

[Jada Reyno]

My brother's a huge wrestling fan.

[Podcast Co-host]

Yeah, the Bob Bagley will put you in that ball there. It is. Old school Boston Crab.

[Jada Reyno]

And he's. He's also. My brother's 10 years older than me.

[Podcast Co-host]

It should definitely be the Baltimore Crab.

[Ryan Sickler]

Just for.

[Jada Reyno]

It's brutal. There's no way out. You got to think he's. He's 16, 17. I'm 6 or 7. I'm going like. It's not a fair fight. It's not even close to a fair fight.

[Podcast Co-host]

What's the instructions over here for it?

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, dude. Now he's, he's older and he's put on a lot of weight. So sometimes we wrestle now. And all I try to focus on is like, I'm taking you into deep water. I just like hearing them go. And I just like put my weight on it. It's like, yeah, you're getting tired, aren't you, big boy?

[Ryan Sickler]

What's mom driving around? What's she rolling you guys around?

[Jada Reyno]

So when we were young, young, they had. We had an Ozmobile. We had an Ozmobile. And I think that was our only car. And then like when I was much younger, we were like lower middle class. My parents would work during the day and then they would deliver papers like

[Ryan Sickler]

first thing in the morning together, like as a couple.

[Jada Reyno]

They would go out and deliver papers and then they would go to their jobs after that. Then when I was like in my early, like from like 12 to like early teens, both their jobs got better. We like things. They didn't have to deliver papers anymore. And then my mom got a job where she started to get. Get cars for her work. And yeah, we had the Jeep Liberty, cuz. Yeah, yeah, right there. That's it. That's the exact guy. 2004. That's. That seems like the exact time too.

[Podcast Co-host]

It is a great little car, man.

[Ryan Sickler]

It's a four wheel drive too.

[Jada Reyno]

Oh, for sure.

[Ryan Sickler]

That.

[Jada Reyno]

So she worked for. Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

What's she doing that they're getting her car?

[Jada Reyno]

She. So the way she described it was I sell corrugated packaging. My mom was very much. She had to be proud. Cardboard boxes. So like, it is hilarious. It is a big business though. Everything comes in a cardboard box. Everything. Come on. Oh, there you go.

[Podcast Co-host]

That's great.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, he's not the only one. Me get in here. But okay. Yeah. She drove that for a while and then she was in a position where every like three years or so it's every certain amount of mile she would get a new car. Okay. And so we. I remember there was a Passat. There was a Volkswagen Passat in there. And then there was. I feel like there was another one that I'm not thinking of. But she loved the Passat too. The Passat, I remember was very rude.

[Ryan Sickler]

Sexy little car, the Passat. Good looking little car.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, dude. And my dad had Ford F150. That was the. He had the little one that only had like three seats in it. Like the. The driver, that little middle seat. And then the one other. He was like so stoked on his F150. This is the old one. Yes, right there. That guy. This is the. The F series. This is. That's the exact guy. But it was in green. That's the exact dude. And I drove that dude. I stole that dude a couple times.

[Ryan Sickler]

What do you mean? Oh, when you stole it?

[Jada Reyno]

I stole that guy. I must have been. Oh, I could have been older than 16 because I had my driving test coming up. So I would steal it to like practice driving.

[Ryan Sickler]

And when at night and shit, when he's asleep, my.

[Jada Reyno]

Both my parents be asleep. And what I would do is I would also.

[Podcast Co-host]

I'm laughing because if as a parent I'd be like, if buddy's practice. I'm practicing, he's not out there just tearing shit up.

[Jada Reyno]

I was practicing parking, you know, to park.

[Ryan Sickler]

You're not turfing yards and vandalizing and shit.

[Jada Reyno]

I did pick up a girl I was. I was seeing and we would have sex in his truck.

[Podcast Co-host]

Practice a little safe sex.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, but what were you going at night to practice?

[Jada Reyno]

I would go to like a mall parking lot. And just like that parking was the big thing. I was trying. I was trying to get in between the lines. And I remember when I would steal it, I would. Because we had a. Like a sloped driveway. I would put it in neutral and roll it out of the driveway into the road. So when I started it, it was as far away from the house as possible, so they probably couldn't hear it. And then I would take off.

[Ryan Sickler]

Dude, do you remember the address of that house?

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah. 2539 Congo Crescent.

[Ryan Sickler]

Let's go take a look at that.

[Jada Reyno]

That is the exact place it was. It was right around the corner. Holy, dude. Yeah, it's right there. It's right there. That's it. That's it. That's it right there. Oh, they put. Yeah. Oh, they put a tr. That tree. Dude, that tree is cooking, man.

[Ryan Sickler]

[Jada Reyno]

Yo. Holy. Yes, that's my dad's car. Whoa. Oh, my God.

[Podcast Co-host]

Okay.

[Ryan Sickler]

But also, I'm laughing because in my head, when you said we, I drifted down a hill and you thought it was.

[Podcast Co-host]

Oh, man, I'm thinking you're way at the bottom. This ain't a hill.

[Jada Reyno]

No, I just was slope. It was just enough to get into the street. So I'm like, I'm far away. But I knew their. Their bedroom was at the back.

[Ryan Sickler]

Okay, that's what I'll say. Give me the windows here. Who's. Who's above the garage Right here on the.

[Jada Reyno]

My sister would be above the garage. That was her. I was behind on the other side, so. And then my parents were behind on the like. So that would be. That's the bathroom window there. And then if I had a window facing into the backyard. Yeah. And then that window there, that below the bathroom window, that was our computer room. I jerked off in there for the first time.

[Podcast Co-host]

That's the first. That's the first neighbors over here. See it?

[Jada Reyno]

Dude, I think we had blinds or something. My first wank ever in that room right there. In that room right there, dude. Oh, my God. To.

[Ryan Sickler]

Sorry, Carson. Go to the front. The window to the left. That little arch. Glassy little window.

[Jada Reyno]

What is that? That just went into. That was like over the. The foyer. Where you, like, come into the house?

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, that's just bringing us some natural

[Podcast Co-host]

light coming in there.

[Jada Reyno]

Oh, dude. Yeah, that's cool.

[Podcast Co-host]

You said that like. I thought you were on a hillside.

[Jada Reyno]

No, no, this is sub. Get caught doing that, though, dude. This is. Yeah, that's why I was like this. This little bit of distance maybe made something. That was our t. Upstairs TV room. That was like our little guest room. Not. Not that one. The one over there. Yeah, that one was the guest room where we had our old little shitty TV and a futon that would pull out. My uncle would sleep in there when he would come visit and stuff. Ah, dude, this is crazy, bro. Oh, my God. I. Yeah, I can't believe I'm getting complete nostalgia vibes from these.

[Ryan Sickler]

Oh, hell.

[Jada Reyno]

Oh, yeah, dude. And when those big bushes in the front there, that. Those. I dug those up. Eventually they were dying and shitty, and I broke, like, two shovels digging those out of the front yard. Yeah, dude.

[Ryan Sickler]

Okay, wait.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, yeah, that was. That was. That's when I did the work, dude.

[Podcast Co-host]

Great job.

[Ryan Sickler]

Okay, wait, you're rolling out of this driveway. Where's the mall? We're going to park the mall.

[Jada Reyno]

It would have been Coquitlam Center. Center. That's where I would have gone to Coquitlam Center. It wasn't that far away. Yeah, that's where I would have taken off to do.

[Ryan Sickler]

What time of night is this?

[Jada Reyno]

When is that?

[Ryan Sickler]

Definitely asleep.

[Jada Reyno]

This would have been late. I think I would have gone. Probably because you don't want to go too. Too late. Yeah, because you don't want them to be, like, maybe waking up.

[Ryan Sickler]

Well, also, I'm thinking if there's security at the mall, who's a rando over

[Jada Reyno]

there just parking around. It was a fairly big mall, so, like, the parking lot was pretty huge. And so I. Yeah, probably 1am is when I would take off with something like this, dude. Yeah, dude.

[Ryan Sickler]

And what's just a couple miles away?

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, not. Not that far away. Not that far away. It was probably like, to get to Coquitlam center. Probably took me 10 minutes. Yeah, this is it. This is it, dude.

[Ryan Sickler]

And you just drive around.

[Jada Reyno]

Drive around, Practice parking. Going to the different parking spots. Sometimes there'll be other people there, like, doing their own shenanigans and stuff and then.

Seven.

[Jada Reyno]

Oh seven. This is right around. So if we go up, straight up this street.

[Podcast Co-host]

Well, let's go.

[Ryan Sickler]

Oh yeah.

[Podcast Co-host]

Staying local for.

[Jada Reyno]

Oh yeah. Because there was a dirt. There's a road where there was like nothing on it. You drove to the end of it and it was just like a dir road. So we go, keep going straight down this way. Take a turn, take a right here. Oh my God. Dude, this is.

[Podcast Co-host]

Let's go dude.

[Jada Reyno]

And then you're going to take a a left here and then you keep going down this road. See now you see we're already starting to get into like a little bit of shrubbery on one side there's. Going to be a dirt road. Might be this one here. Turn, turn to the left. Oh, no, that's a driveway. Keep going, Keep going up. Keep going up. And then I think it's right here. If you take the left here and just go straight down, eventually it just turns into, like, nowhere land. Like, it was just, like, construction or just. Yeah, like the backs of buildings and Home Depot and stuff. So if you're.

[Ryan Sickler]

Oh, here you go. Here we go.

[Jada Reyno]

Yes.

[Ryan Sickler]

Now we're getting the fingers fingering territory.

[Jada Reyno]

This is. Now it's just like. Like dirt piles, dude. This is. This is exactly.

[Ryan Sickler]

There you are.

[Jada Reyno]

There you guys are right there for Christmas. This is exactly where. Exactly Where? Around here. 1:00am Dirt pile on one side, back of Home Depot on the other side. Home Depot parking lot. Banging in in my dad's truck right here, dude. Oh, my God. Y. Bro, that's crazy. Oh, do people, like, freak out when they did this podcast?

[Podcast Co-host]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jada Reyno]

I'm getting, like, feelings.

[Podcast Co-host]

I say all the time.

[Ryan Sickler]

I'm 53, and I forget that every single night. If I wanted to, I could go look at my old school. My. But I never think to do it.

[Podcast Co-host]

I don't know if it's because I'm

[Ryan Sickler]

of a generation where you couldn't before and you can now, so I don't really pay attention to it. But, yeah, you go look at every one of your houses, your friends houses, all of it, bro.

[Jada Reyno]

I didn't know. There was the years I thought Google Maps was always just current. I didn't know you could go to, like, 2009, 2007. This is crazy, bro. Oh, my God, man. Yeah, I'm having, like, full. I would walk my dog here. Holy. This is cool now.

[Ryan Sickler]

Wild.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah. Yeah. All right.

[Ryan Sickler]

Where are you guys going for vacations?

[Jada Reyno]

Oh, so we went on a couple vacations. The. The one we did in the Jeep Liberty, we went. We drove all the way down from Port Coquitlam, down to the whole family.

[Ryan Sickler]

All of you?

[Jada Reyno]

No, it's just me, my mom, and my dad. So at one point, for whatever reason, I think this was before my. My. I think my brother had moved out, but my sister was still living at home. But my other sister hadn't moved yet, but my parents just stopped, including my sister. And family vacations. We talk about it all the time. Yeah, we're like, why did they do that? It was just, like, cruel. They were just kind of like, no, you're not coming. It was just rude. But we drove all the way from Port Coquitlam down to Disneyland. And it was a long drive, and it was a long haul. And during the drive, remember, it was in May, because right around my birthday, it was also right around my mom's birthday. And so one day we pull off into some place to get some breakfast and my mom is in a shit mood and my dad is like, what's going on? And then she's just like, what day is it? And my dad goes, Tuesday. And she goes, it's my birthday.

[Ryan Sickler]

Oh, no.

[Jada Reyno]

And my dad, I'm not fucking with you, genuinely didn't. He goes, no.

[Podcast Co-host]

He didn't even try to play it off like, yeah, I know. Just hang tight with day ain't over yet.

[Jada Reyno]

He goes, no, no, I'm sticking with Tuesday. Isn't that crazy? Isn't that one of the craziest move you could ever pull as a dude? Full grow. And then of course, it's like, dude, my mom's in a mood the whole day. They're fighting. They fought all the time, dude. They eventually got divorced, but they fought like crazy. And this being stuck in the car the entire time. Holy.

[Ryan Sickler]

And you're driving to Disneyland.

[Jada Reyno]

Disneyland, man. I'm just sitting in the back.

[Podcast Co-host]

That's a long ass, dude.

[Jada Reyno]

There's no iPads, there's no iPhones. There's nothing. You stare at the window. We listened to just like the Gypsy Kings and what, Whatever. My parents had Han's music, Fleetwood Mac. That's one of the crazy things. I'm not a big music person. I'm like, musically illiterate. My parents loved music and had tons of CDs and stuff. And we're going through everything. We'd listen to like the Caribbean music my dad liked, like Lucky Dube and stuff like that. And we just were burning through track after track after track, pulling off places, checking, checking the map. There's no Google Maps. You got to pull out the map, read the map where we're going. Yeah, dude. And we drew out, drove all the way down there, all the way back. I feel like we left early too, because they're fighting. Yeah, I think they were fighting like cats and dogs the whole time. One memory I have from getting there, the first day we get there, we go straight to California Adventure Park. And I love amusement parks. As I've gotten older, I can handle them less. Like, I get motion sickness.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jada Reyno]

But when I was a kid, I could just. Just rip it the whole time. And my mom has the worst motion sickness of all time. She hates going on rides. But we get There. And there's this big roller coaster at a California adventure park that does two loops around Mickey's ears. And I want to go on. And they're like, oh, you're too small. I can't go on alone. And so my mom's like, I'll go on with you. And we go on this ride and the whole time my mom is just wailing, screaming, just. And then I'm. It's my birthday and I'm dying, laughing. I'm laughing just at her. Genuine fear. She's terrified. And at one point when we go to go through the loops, she looks down to just put her head down and look away. Her glasses fall into her lap. Then we're going through the loop. They fly up and she catches them.

[Podcast Co-host]

Hell yeah.

[Jada Reyno]

And she's just screaming, clutching her glasses. This.

[Podcast Co-host]

Like.

[Jada Reyno]

And then she was just knocked out for the rest of the day. Like she like we walked around and stuff, but there wasn't. There's no way she's getting on anything else, bro. That wrecked her, bro.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah.

[Jada Reyno]

Oh man. Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

And then you went to. You went to Cuba as a family?

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, we did. Yeah. Okay. The Cuba trip.

[Ryan Sickler]

Why do you have family in Cuba? Like why are you guys going to Cuba?

[Jada Reyno]

My parents always wanted to go to Cuba. I'm named after Choevera. So my dad has always been very like for the revolution. Like he. Cuz he grew up in Haiti during the Duvalia era and I know really nothing about it. I did, I did birds, pot. And he was like, dude, I love. He wanted to talk about it. I was like, oh bro, I don't know anything about it, but you could talk to my dad about it. But he had to escape that. He had to escape a dictator and run away. And so his whole life he's been like yo the like establishment. Like I've seen what when power gets out of hand. And so he named me after Che Guevara because he was obsessed with like over overthrow. He wishes. I think part of him wishes that they could have done that in Haiti and overthrown this dictator. But we went to Cuba because like obviously that's where that's all from and we had a great time but.

[Ryan Sickler]

Oh yeah, you're Canadian.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, I'm Canadian. So going to Cuba. Yeah, we couldn't. Yeah, easy.

[Podcast Co-host]

Okay.

[Jada Reyno]

We just go. We went.

[Ryan Sickler]

It was chill just once or did you go a couple times?

[Jada Reyno]

We just went once. But thing my parents let me do because we went to all these different places. We got Cuban cigars. I think I was like 12. They let me smoke a full Cuban. A fat, just a fat Cuban. I remember sitting by the pool, we made, I made, we made friends with another family. There's another kid around my age. And it was the last night we're supposed to like, have fun and bro, this Cuban me up.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, dude.

[Jada Reyno]

Oh, dude, I was so nauseous, so sick.

[Ryan Sickler]

I tell you how to smoke a cigar that you don't inhale. Are they just letting you do.

[Jada Reyno]

They did. They told. But I'm like, like, don't inhale, bro. I haven't inhaled. Like, I've never. It's not like I'm a cigarette smoker who's like, oh, I get what you're talking about. Also, even if I'm not inhaling, I'm a 12 year old boy, a Cuban. I can't smoke a full cubie. And I smoke that thing almost down to the nub, man. And I was.

[Podcast Co-host]

That's your first introduction till you turn green.

[Jada Reyno]

I was rocked from that. I was so sick. And I remember the next day we

[Ryan Sickler]

were leaving your mom's like, that's for the motherfucking roller coaster.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah. Now you know,

[Jada Reyno]

But we were, we were. The next day when we're leaving, we go to. We stop at this place to get breakfast and the waiter came up to take our order. And I remember, I guess he had just come back from a smoke break and I could smell the cigarette on him. And every time he came up to the table I was like, oh, get this guy the fuck away from me, dude. He reeks like cigarettes, man.

[Ryan Sickler]

So what age do you start smoking weed then?

[Jada Reyno]

I start smoking weed at. I started late because my parents said very were very hard on me. Like, yo, you smoke weed? It's like there was that messaging when definitely when I was younger. Probably the same when you were younger too. So much it's like, yeah, you smoke weed that it's the gateway drug.

[Ryan Sickler]

You're gonna kill death and everything. The devil and all these things you're gonna get on other drugs. It's gonna make you lazy. You're not gonna do anything with your life.

[Jada Reyno]

So blah, blah, blah, blah. I was actually really anti weed need. And I remember what kind of tipped the scales for me was I would, my parents didn't give a about drink. I would get drunk as, as a teenager and they didn't care. They didn't care, dude. I would show up like, wait, I showed up with like puke on my shirt. Like I like.

[Ryan Sickler]

And is that because you were the baby and at this point they're done or they just lacks with the kids?

[Jada Reyno]

Exactly, because that was the baby. My sister got a super strict treatment and my brother too. But. But one time I came home and at this point I started working at McDonald's. I worked at McDonald's. It was literally, if you. If we didn't take that left there and kept going straight, we would have seen the McDonald's. I worked there and I would work the morning shifts, like the 5am shifts. And so I would like party at night, get up, work, and then go out again the next night. Those were my weekends. And one time I got back from watching UFC with my friends and my parents were like, you're on something. And I was like, no, I'm just exhausted from working at McDonald's and being hungover. And they're like, no, you're on hard drugs. And they had. They had a sit down with me where they're like, you're doing hard drugs. And I was like, I'm not. I was like, I don't even smoke weed. And my mom goes, oh, everyone smokes weed, Jay. I was like, we're not talking about weed. We're talking about like coke or ecstasy. And I went, everyone smokes weed. I went, excuse me. This. You guys have been berating me this entire time. If I smoke weed, it's like the worst thing ever. And so then I. Yeah, I was with some buddies and I remember I was sitting in the car and they go, they're like, okay, Che. Because they knew I was like, anti weed. They're like, get out. We're gonna like hot box car. And I go, I'm not getting out. And then I hot box the car with them. I was dying it me up so bad.

[Ryan Sickler]

Really?

[Jada Reyno]

Oh, dude. I was like. The first two times I got high, I remember just coughing relentlessly and then just being like fully space cased out there.

[Ryan Sickler]

Well, also, I have to remember, what year is this?

[Jada Reyno]

This is probably 2008.

[Podcast Co-host]

Yeah, you can. 2000.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, we used to get in Baltimore. We called it practice weed. Yeah, like, it was horrible. It was stems and sick dirt weed from Mexico with the seeds and everything, it was trash. It wasn't until we got some west coast Oregon weed where it me like I had been smoking this and that. I was like, you guys, can you hear my heartbeat? Like I was freaking the out at first.

[Jada Reyno]

And I was like, okay, you got.

[Ryan Sickler]

You got good west coast out of the gate.

[Jada Reyno]

Vancouver weed is known as being some of the best weed in the world.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, they would call it. We all heard about you guys legalizing early on. It was Amsterdam and Yeah, you had a Bulldog Cafe there that I've been to in Holland.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah. And we, we always would talk about the cannabis cup, that we would win the cannabis cup and stuff like that. So Vancouver bud, you would touch it, it'd be sticky. It was crystallized like that. Would you up? And I. Dude, I got first.

[Ryan Sickler]

We are. We. We're putting in a little bowl and

[Podcast Co-host]

it's seeds are cracking and popping in our faces.

[Jada Reyno]

No way, dude. Seeds and stems. No.

[Ryan Sickler]

Like you can't find.

[Jada Reyno]

Dude. Even as like a teenager, we were like weed snobs talking about how sticky it is. Your grinder would get gummed up and all that kind of stuff, dude. And so I was hitting this stuff, getting messed up and I don't smoke weed. Anymore because I get just super paranoid. But for a while, that's what we do is we would skip class and there's two places we would go.

[Ryan Sickler]

High school.

[Jada Reyno]

High school? Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

Okay.

[Jada Reyno]

We would either go to my backyard where we would. Oh, yeah, that's that weed seed. Yeah, you can see the seeds.

[Podcast Co-host]

Look at the seeds in that thing.

[Jada Reyno]

Dude. It would just be like rock solid.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, well, yeah. One time I got a corner of one, a literal corner of the brick, and I was like, this.

[Jada Reyno]

Shaved it off.

[Ryan Sickler]

Looks like some hay in there.

[Podcast Co-host]

That's all the we ever got, ever.

[Ryan Sickler]

And we put it on an album cover, get all the seeds and stems out of there. Then you're taking it. And I'm. If I don't have a grinder, I'm taking a cheese grater.

[Podcast Co-host]

Great.

[Jada Reyno]

That is one thing. We got creative with it a few times.

[Podcast Co-host]

Always the cheese grater. I smoked that bottom right one right there. Yeah. In Mexico. In Mexico they gave me that. I was like, this is seaweed.

[Jada Reyno]

That's wild. I remember my buddy cutting up weed on a cutting board, like with a knife.

[Podcast Co-host]

Like he was chefing it up, dude.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, so.

[Ryan Sickler]

But that's sticky and potent. So where are you guys going? You're le. You're leaving school, not coming back?

[Jada Reyno]

We would leave. Oh, we. Sometimes you come back bake. Yeah. So my school's right around the corner from my house.

[Ryan Sickler]

Oh, you were a walker?

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, yeah. Walked a school.

[Podcast Co-host]

I don't meet a lot of walkers. I was a walker too. I was a walker for three years.

[Jada Reyno]

My. I was late constantly and my school was maybe an eight minute walk from my front floor.

[Podcast Co-host]

Dude, we could see your house, Chad.

[Jada Reyno]

It was called Terry Fox Secondary.

[Ryan Sickler]

Terry Fox Secondary.

[Jada Reyno]

So Terry Fox, Canadian legend. Do you know about Terry Fox? Yo, you don't know Terry Fox? Terry Fox is like a. Like hardcore. Like, this is deep Canada lore, dude. So Terry Fox, he was. He got cancer. And it. I think because of the cancer, it took his leg. And then in order to raise money for cancer, he ran across Canada on like a wooden leg. And they were like videotaping him and everything. This is Terry. That's Terry Fox at the front, dude. That's Buzz, dude.

[Ryan Sickler]

No, dude.

[Jada Reyno]

What year is this?

[Ryan Sickler]

What year? Some had long arms.

[Jada Reyno]

Oh, yeah. But we. Yeah, so he ran across Canada on this. And this isn't when you had like the Blade Runner and like that? No, no. So his leg would like bleed and.

[Ryan Sickler]

And he made like a baseball bat up in that.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, exactly. He's run on like a Peg leg across the whole country.

[Podcast Co-host]

The country, dude.

[Jada Reyno]

To raise money for cancer research. And he made it to Ontario and then the cancer moved to his lungs and he died. So he never. You laughing, you laughing. Terry Fox. Your producer's laughing.

[Podcast Co-host]

Your producer just laugh at the heart

[Jada Reyno]

wrenching story of Terry Fox. But yeah, and then. So every year we would have a Terry Fox run. That's part of like, if you're Canadian,

[Ryan Sickler]

you do the tie one leg up.

[Podcast Co-host]

No, but what we would do, take one shoe off.

[Jada Reyno]

You guys will get this on the camera as. And the teachers would be like, don't do that.

[Windows 11 Advertiser]

What you.

[Jada Reyno]

What you would do is you would do the Terry Fox, like, lymph. You would run and go like, oh, yeah.

[Podcast Co-host]

You would do the limp. And they be like, don't do that. All right, so this is your high school here.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

And when are you. Are you leaving during lunch? Were you allowed to leave the campus for lunch?

[Jada Reyno]

Oh, you could leave. You could usually leave whenever you want. You could definitely leave for.

[Podcast Co-host]

For. This is crazy, but it blows me away.

[Ryan Sickler]

The younger generation, generations.

[Podcast Co-host]

When we got to school.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

You had to have a work permit or you had to have class outside. Other than that, you were in that building, you didn't go anywhere.

[Jada Reyno]

Because sometimes you're like, especially when you get to the later grades, you're like, oh, you know, I have first and second period, but then I don't have anything for third period then. So sometimes people, you'd be like, in and out. That'd be normal.

[Ryan Sickler]

And they wouldn't make you do a study hall, you know?

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah. You just be able to leave. And we would. Lots of times we go to my house, we go to my backyard yard and we would smoke there. And I. What I was saying to you is there's. There's three issues when you're a teenager trying to smoke weed. The obvious one is getting the weed. The next one is getting the lighter, and the other one is getting something to smoke out of. So it's like someone can roll. Someone can't roll. Do you have papers? One thing that we always had in my house was apples. And I got very, very good at crafting apple bongs. And like, I would put the holes in it and then I would put like a tin foil and poke the holes in the tin. Sometimes I would tape the tin foil down and we would have this thing and smoke out of it and then you would just whip it into the woods after. Yeah, dude, we. We got real good with those. Yeah. And then the other Place.

[Ryan Sickler]

Here you guys are.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, dude. The other place we would go and smoke. I can't. I feel like this guy's name was Ken. Ken lived around the corner from the school.

[Podcast Co-host]

School.

[Jada Reyno]

And his house was like a hoarder house. And I don't. Never saw his mom. But it like reeked in there. But we go in and then you would go to the upstairs and he just sat in his room and would just rip video games all day. It was like a. It was like a scene out of a movie or a sitcom or something. It was a guy sitting on the couch with just junk everywhere and bongs and all this weed and we could just. He, I. He didn't go to our school. I don't know. He was friends of a friend.

[Podcast Co-host]

36 years old.

[Jada Reyno]

God. Never asked. You just walk in and then you would. You just. You could smoke inside. We just smoke inside and just sit there.

[Ryan Sickler]

And you didn't know if his mom was there or not?

[Podcast Co-host]

We had no clue.

[Jada Reyno]

And we just. He would. I remember he would rip left for dead on Xbox360. Like just not. And he was good.

[Podcast Co-host]

Wait, then you're leaving and he's not coming with you?

[Jada Reyno]

No, he never came with us.

[Podcast Co-host]

So weird.

[Jada Reyno]

He just stayed there and we would just get high. As in his house.

[Podcast Co-host]

During the school day.

[Jada Reyno]

During the school day.

[Podcast Co-host]

You don't. He's not working or anything.

[Jada Reyno]

I think he was maybe like one year graduated or something.

[Ryan Sickler]

That is hilarious.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, dude. Oh, okay.

[Ryan Sickler]

And I asked you about sports before we started recording. I've recently been more intentional about the way I dress dayto day. I'm always searching for what feels easy and stays comfortable.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, I boxed for a while.

[Ryan Sickler]

So how'd you get into that?

[Jada Reyno]

I got into boxing. So my parents basically gave me like an ultimatum. They put me me. They're like, what sport do you want to do? And I was like, I don't want to do any sports. And they were like, we're gonna put you in swimming. Because I was getting becoming like a fat little kid and I hated swimming. I hate, like competitive swimming. I was like, no, dude. Because also every other kid had been in competitive swimming from the time they were like 4. And I was like a 11 year old going in hockey.

[Ryan Sickler]

You gotta start young.

[Jada Reyno]

You gotta start young. And I was fat. And so I'm like this fat kid who's new at swimming. I was slow and I was like, this sucks, bro. Go. And so they were like, hey, you're gonna go back in swimming or. Unless you pick a different sport. And so I picked boxing because we watched a couple things on tv. We watched football, we watched soccer. I didn't like soccer. Football would have been too expensive for the pads. Boxing was cheap and it was indoors. I didn't want to be outside and cold. And so I went, I started boxing. Where?

[Ryan Sickler]

Do you remember the place you went? Can we look it up?

[Jada Reyno]

Maple Ridge. I think it was the Maple Ridge Boxing Club. I don't know if it's still there. It was in. It was like next to a rec center. There was a rec center. And then the boxing club was like on the end of it. And yeah, I boxed there for five or six years, dude. And I, yeah, I had 12 fights. I lost two of them.

[Ryan Sickler]

What weight class you fighting?

[Jada Reyno]

I was tiny, dude. I was fighting at like 127 and 132.

[Ryan Sickler]

What is that back then? Featherweight? Dynam weight?

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, like straw weight kind of stuff, dude.

[Podcast Co-host]

Oh, here you are.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude. Yes. And it was, it was on.

[Podcast Co-host]

You were 10 and two.

[Jada Reyno]

I was 10 and two. Good, dude. Not bad.

[Ryan Sickler]

How'd you lose your two?

[Jada Reyno]

So the two were at near the end. So near the end of my boxing career, I definitely stopped training as hard. I started drinking. Like, this is like, I found booze and. But that's exactly where it was.

[Ryan Sickler]

Okay.

[Jada Reyno]

And yeah, I, Yeah, by. When I got into my later teens, I was like, you know, I got laid and I was drinking and I was like, I don't, I don't really have the heart in this anymore. And so one loss I had, I went to. No, I went to nationals and I, I had fought a guy who just was way more experienced than I was. And at this point I had moved up in a weight class as well. I was small for my weight class. And we went to the center of the ring and we traded a couple, a couple times. At this point I had like, maybe I. This was I think my 11th fight and he had like 40 or 50 fights.

[Ryan Sickler]

Okay.

[Jada Reyno]

And we traded in the middle of the ring. And then he quickly realized, like, I didn't have a lot of like skill of like moving around and like this finesse in the ring, but I could just stand and bang for a while. And he was like, that's not what I'm gonna do with this guy. And he started like punching me in my chest and my shoulders. And I was like, I never had anyone do that to me. And it was like opening me up and then he cranked me good. And then I went to the corner and I was like kind of getting smacked. I. I didn't have the tools to deal with what was going on. Then I remember one time what happened was he. We went back out and I got a standing eight. And then we, after the stand, we're going at it again. I'm just keep trying to. I'm just chasing him. I'm chasing him and just trying to stand and bang with him. And he's just using that opportunity to get angles on me and then he hits me so good and I go out on like one leg. I literally like, I remember going like

[Podcast Co-host]

black like Terry Fox leg.

[Jada Reyno]

I'm out on the vague, dude. Oh man. Yeah, dude. And then my corner threw in the towel, dude. And then the last loss I had, I was just like, not. Yeah. My heart wasn't in it. I was, I knew I was not gonna fight after this. I fought a guy who had beaten before and he had been like, this is my life and dedicated and I was just kind of like I was out of shape and all that. Kind of.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, tell me about. I had asked you what your first car was before. You said you didn't have.

[Jada Reyno]

Never owned a car.

[Ryan Sickler]

So you're just, you got a license, you're just driving dad's car or whatever then you never had your own vehicle.

[Jada Reyno]

Exactly.

[Ryan Sickler]

So you do have, you know how to drive. You just don't.

[Jada Reyno]

I just don't.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, I've never, never owned a car.

[Podcast Co-host]

No.

[Jada Reyno]

I cuz right after I left high School. I moved to this like, like little beach town and my dad actually gave me his truck then. So I guess that would have been the first car I like owned. I would drive that around cuz I was going to. I did a scuba diving instructor program through a college that was in this beach town. And then I could put all the scuba gear in the back and like

[Ryan Sickler]

transfer it all around. But your main get around is what

[Jada Reyno]

has always been a bicycle.

[Ryan Sickler]

Just always.

[Jada Reyno]

Dude, I. Because then I moved to play del Carmen, Mexico didn't. That's just walking city. Then I.

[Ryan Sickler]

You moved there?

[Jada Reyno]

I moved there, yeah. How long for?

[Ryan Sickler]

Three years.

[Jada Reyno]

That's why I taught scuba diving.

[Podcast Co-host]

Okay.

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah. All right. And then I. Then when I moved to Toronto, dude, I was just ripping on a bike everywhere. There's a really good comic out there. Really funny dude. Really nice guy. Dion Owen, he's. He's a Montreal guy who would come over. He's like autistic about bicycles and loves bikes and he built me a bike out of like a Franken bike and I rode that guy into the dirt. I loved that bicycle, dude. Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

You have any old pictures of that bike?

[Jada Reyno]

No, I don't. Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

Let's wrap up on this. You said now that we've seen that house, you threw some house parties in

[Podcast Co-host]

that house with all those houses around?

[Jada Reyno]

Yeah.

[Ryan Sickler]

Dude, do their neighbors rat on you or what?

[Jada Reyno]

The cops came, so I threw two big parties there. My parents went to Portugal and I. And my parents were gone to Portugal like two weeks. And basically a couple of my friends like moved in. Like we were just in the house. We would drink during the day, we would party. I like brought the Xbox downstairs, hooked it up to the main of the big screen in the living room and we were just like hanging out the up there. Like we. My parents had like a barbecue. We're like grilling in the back. We just like live.

[Ryan Sickler]

And are you close to the neighbors in the sense that they're like, hey Larry, if they we're going out. If they do, we want to know. Is it like you guys close with any neighbors like that? Is anyone keeping an eye on that house for your mom and dad?

[Jada Reyno]

My parents probably had that kind of communication because I definitely was busted.

[Ryan Sickler]

Cameras and back.

[Jada Reyno]

No cameras. No. But my mom knew immediately when I got back some. What actually saved me was she was going to make me go around the neighborhood and apologize to everyone. No. Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host]

Like a predator, dude.

[Jada Reyno]

Get the.

[Podcast Co-host]

That's the first thing I would think. I'm like, I know this Kid isn't coming up. Right here, right now. We got a predator in the neighbor. Oh, he just had a party. Oh, we don't get. That would make me feel way better. Like, I don't give a. You ain't touching little kids.

[Jada Reyno]

All right, good.

[Podcast Co-host]

You're good.

[Jada Reyno]

But then she was going to make

[Podcast Co-host]

you go door to door. Why was it loud? Like, what was the.

[Jada Reyno]

So the cops got called and there was a couple neighbors who care. But there next door's neighbors didn't give a. So it's like, if you're five houses down, who gives a? Like, just like, mind your own business. But there was one couple she hated, and the guy. She was walking and the guy came out was like, do you know what happened here? Do you know what h. And he kind of. And she had this back and forth with him, and she went, no, you're not apologizing to anyone. These guys that saved me that humiliation was her fight with one of our neighbors.

[Ryan Sickler]

For that.

[Jada Reyno]

I can't remember. I don't remember being crazy. I probably couldn't go out or some like that. That this was when I was old enough where they kind of. They saw their, like, their grip on me loosening. I was maybe like 17 at this point, and so I. I don't think the. The punishment was too severe and nothing was really damaged to the house or anything. The house was fine.

[Ryan Sickler]

Yeah, this is great, man.

[Jada Reyno]

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

[Ryan Sickler]
