[Theo Vaughn]

I want to share that there is a textile update. We got a restock over on the merch site. We loaded up on the latest sock drop in four colorways and. And the new Retcon T's. They're back. It's a limited run and they won't be there for long. And it's all [e-mail] if you've gone there to support ever. I just want to say thank you very much. Today's guest is a streamer. He's a content creator and a music producer out of Long Island, New York. He just participated in Kai Senat's streamer University. Had a great time getting to know him. It's shock o'.

[Jay Shock]

Clock.

[Theo Vaughn]

Today's guest is J. Shock. Looking Shar Sharp, boy.

[Jay Shock]

Thank you.

[Theo Vaughn]

Thank you, dude.

[Jay Shock]

Thank you for having me.

[Theo Vaughn]

You bet, man. Show me how to do the. The look away handshake.

[Jay Shock]

No look. Handshake.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

That was created completely by accident, but you come in and go for the look.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay.

[Jay Shock]

I just look at the watch, if you have one. Or you can look at your phone.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay.

[Jay Shock]

And this do it.

[Theo Vaughn]

So here, if I got my phone, I'm doing it like.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, like. Nice. What's your name? And then.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, Theo.

[Jay Shock]

Don't look at me.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay. Sorry, dude. It's in the directions, and I messed it up. Okay. All right.

[Jay Shock]

Hold the phone with that hand?

[Theo Vaughn]

With this hand?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay. Yeah. What's your name? Awesome. Good to meet you, man. That's great.

[Jay Shock]

Yes.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

How you doing? You want to know how that happened?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

So I went into a deli with my friend to get a chopped cheese,

[Theo Vaughn]

which is typical for an Italian, right?

[Jay Shock]

Exactly.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's just. That's a national pastime.

[Jay Shock]

Yes. And on Long island, where I'm from, they don't really have chopped cheeses, but this deli had one. It was in Carl Place or something. We go in and there's this old guy named Frank, 75, 80 years old. And we get in there, and he's, like, going crazy. Like, do you know who this is? Do you know who's in your deli right now? Random customer. He's like, I'm your biggest fan. It was the oldest fan I ever met, Frank. And he orders us food. Me and my cameraman, food. We get out my. We gotta do a video now, Drew. So we get in, and in the video, you see me walking up to the guy, Antonio, and he hands me his phone. He's like, what's? Your handle. And I type it in his phone and I'm like, what's your name? And I said. He said, antonio. I'm like, okay, nice to meet you. But I didn't even click. There it is, look, it's right here. So this got clipped. And of course, months after, who blindly goes.

[Theo Vaughn]

Who just gives their hand to a man they don't even know near a bunch of boar's head meats? I mean, that's great. Who just randomly offers. God. God only gives you two hands, Jay Shock. And you're just like, here, I'm just going to offer one. What if that guy would have just.

[Jay Shock]

Frick.

[Theo Vaughn]

He could have just. Dude, that guy could have put it right.

[Jay Shock]

He could have smacked my head. Look, I have no hair on my head. He could have smacked it off.

[Theo Vaughn]

He could have put it right in his mouth. Jay Shock. It's like, don't feed the bears. We don't know what this guy's been up to.

[Jay Shock]

So now, a couple weeks later, there's. Is this TikTok. Okay? So if you click the comments, it should pop up blue. Like, no, look, handshake. So if something is trending, it'll be like a blue comment. And it kept popping up on all my videos, and I didn't know what it was. So one day I went to Florida and my uncle's like, next time, look a guy in the face when you give him a handshake. And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, it's all over the Internet. You shake the guy's hand.

[Theo Vaughn]

Your uncle told you that finally clicked.

[Jay Shock]

Look at this.

[Theo Vaughn]

This is what's going on. Why you. No, look in them all.

[Jay Shock]

I did it to Kai. You know Kai's tonight.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jay Shock]

When I got the streamer, you. There it is. That one right there. Look at this. I hear them.

[Theo Vaughn]

Got it. You got it Real quick.

[Jay Shock]

How are you? What time is it?

[Theo Vaughn]

Wow, bro. You had it loaded too, there. It's almost like you gotta, like. It's like you got that thing on you, you know? You got that thing on. You got that Draco right there, bro. That's beautiful, dude.

[Jay Shock]

Do you have like a. A signature move like that?

[Theo Vaughn]

I don't really. Sometimes it's like waving goodbye to people crying in a driveway is something I've done a decent amount over the years. I don't know if that's a signature move. Really? You know what? I'm gonna think about that. Do I have a signature move, you think, Trevin?

[Jay Shock]

Like, if you Were doing a wrestling move, I would hit that. Just hit the shock o clock on him.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, hit the shackle clock. And this body slay. Yeah. What would you be a good. Your signature move is.

[Jay Shock]

It's more of a catchphrase, I think.

[Theo Vaughn]

What else? Oh, yeah, which one? I say what else a lot because it's like, sometimes if I'm talking to somebody, I don't like there to be like, a lot of, like, downtime in the conversation. So I'll be like if things get. Get real quiet.

[Jay Shock]

What else? Yeah, in a minute. Yeah, I've had a lot of different viral moments like that.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, yeah, I've seen.

[Jay Shock]

That was one of the biggest one unintentionally. But, like, I think the first major video I did was me going to Chili's and. And I said, first time trying Chili, but feel what all the hype's about. And that video got like 2 million views.

[Theo Vaughn]

Is there hype about that? I guess there is.

[Jay Shock]

There's got to be some hype around Chili. No.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's true.

[Jay Shock]

Triple dipper.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I don't even know how. Yeah. What were we. I can't believe we were double dipping in.

[Jay Shock]

How did you find this? How was he so quick with it?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, there you are.

[Jay Shock]

So this is when. Look at my hair, how different I look, bro.

[Theo Vaughn]

You look freaking. You look.

[Jay Shock]

I look like a. Oh, you look

[Theo Vaughn]

like business casual caillou.

[Jay Shock]

I look. I look like a different human being.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, dude, you definitely.

[Jay Shock]

And I used to drink. I don't drink anymore.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's what I heard. You look like this lady that used to teach PE to us as well.

[Jay Shock]

This is my friend Andrew. He took a ginormous sip of core, as you're going to see here.

[Theo Vaughn]

And what? Coors light.

[Jay Shock]

Little silver bullet. Look at this humongous sip.

[Theo Vaughn]

It'll kill a werewolf. It won't kill a Jay Shock, though, huh?

[Jay Shock]

Completely different style back then, dude.

[Theo Vaughn]

Welcome, bro. Thanks for coming in, man. Thanks for hanging out, bro. Yeah, you bet, man. When is. Bro, when is. When is shock o' clock on?

[Jay Shock]

Officially, it's at 9:09.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay.

[Jay Shock]

9:09 is my time. It is y. Zach o' clock time. I just love the number nine. I was born April 9, 1999. The number 99 has a lot of significance to me. Like, I rate out of nine, you know, when I rate my food, I rate only Adam 9. I'm the only one that does that.

[Theo Vaughn]

1 to 9.

[Jay Shock]

1 to 9. Because mathematically, it makes no Sense, but philosophically it does. So out of nine, I think you should always be at 99% and always try to become perfect. Because we'll never be perfect. Nothing's ever perfect. So when I read out of nine, it's basically like, oh, yeah, you know, the 10 is perfect, but. Cause we're taught in school, 10 is perfect. You don't get 100% in school, you get a a plus, you get 100%. I like to be at 99% and always try to be better. So it makes sense like that. But right, mathematically, if you were at a 9, it would technically be 100%.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's shockonomics, dude.

[Jay Shock]

That's what I thought. I like that.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's what we're figuring out here, dude. But, dude, did they have shock o' clock during, like. Do they even have it during, like, daylight savings time and stuff? Like, is it.

[Jay Shock]

Yes. Well, set the clocks back, Set them forward. It's always shock o'. Clock.

[Theo Vaughn]

Doesn't matter.

[Jay Shock]

Always on the wrist. So now when I have no watches on, it's chocolate clock on the wrist, okay? When I have a watch on, it's chocolate clock on the dot. So if you go back to my older videos, you could see if I'm wearing a watch. I'm like, choco clock on the dot. Today we're having whatever.

[Theo Vaughn]

And is there a day of the year when there's no shocking. Like, is there like a one day of, like, is there a day of the year where it's like, no clocking? Yeah, we're not clocking. Yeah, the clock is not shockable. Every. It's not even plugged in. You know what I'm saying? Like, is there a day when it's off?

[Jay Shock]

It's always on. Really, Mr. Vaughn? It's always on.

[Theo Vaughn]

Even Christmas.

[Jay Shock]

Every day. I recorded last Christmas or. Yeah, last Christmas I was panicking because I didn't have a video because I was on a. When I quit my job and even before it, I was recording every day and posting every day and editing every day. Same day, same video. For 365 days. I posted every day. I got all the way up to over a million followers. And it worked. But the clock was always ticking.

[Theo Vaughn]

It never ends.

[Jay Shock]

I think maybe if I go to, like, church or something, it's off, okay? Like, there's no cameras. Even though people try to take pictures of me, I'm like, this is the Lord's house, you know, we can't be Jesus ain't posted on the gram today, you know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Well, we gotta honor him. There's a bigger J. Yeah, there's a bigger.

[Jay Shock]

It's crazy.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, there's a bigger J on that day for sure.

[Jay Shock]

I find it really hard to take breaks, especially with food. There's always new items coming out. Like, new. I don't know, pickle, bubble gum or some crap, you know, like crazy Flamin hot.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, yeah. Barbecue napkins or something. There's always some shit. There's always, like, a new thing. They're like, yeah, man, we got this new, like, Chipotle spare tires or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

Flaming hot toilet paper, you know, it's all.

[Theo Vaughn]

It's always some bull. Yeah, it's like something coming out, you know. It's like we got new Chipotle hairspray or whatever. Some type of shit. It's like, what are we.

[Jay Shock]

I saw they made McDonald's scented candles.

[Theo Vaughn]

Nuh.

[Jay Shock]

Based on all the dipping sauce in their candles.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, that's beautiful.

[Jay Shock]

The pop some sweet and sour, you know.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I would definitely put one of those on. Put. Dude, look at this. If I'm having a funeral, put a couple of those on, bro.

[Jay Shock]

You have a favorite sauce? Like condiment?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, probably that. I would say Zitzaki or I would probably say. Or mustard, Bro. You know what? I had a dream two nights ago that mustard was making a big comeback.

[Jay Shock]

What? Hey, did it even fall off?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I think mustard fell off, brother. I think. I mean, I think I. Like. Yeah. When it was the last time you even heard anybody talk about it?

[Jay Shock]

Nobody. Nobody's like, yo, I'm gonna get some mustard out. And. Yeah, put it on something.

[Theo Vaughn]

And it's back. Jay shot. But, dude. So here's what I want to. So let's go into this. Thank. Dude, thanks so much for coming in, bro.

[Jay Shock]

Thank you for having me.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, it's definitely an honor, bro.

[Jay Shock]

Yes, sir.

[Theo Vaughn]

It's been a blessing to see you. And you don't have to call me Siri. You can just say yes. Okay, okay, sir. And it's just been like, you. You came on my radar. Like, I would see a lot of clips and stuff. And then I was talking with Sketch, and he's like, bro, you gotta meet my friend Jay Shock. He's like the greatest guy ever. He thinks you're like. You know, he's like, you're this marinara savior, you know, this little. You know. He thinks you're this new sort of angel of. Of the world, you know? Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Did you see any clips of us in streamer U?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, dude, I saw the one. What's the one where you guys don't have your shirts on. That one was crazy.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, that was funny when we spit out the door. So he was trying to teach me manners for my homecoming date at prom or at homecoming. And I was trying to get the door for him, and I did, like, a look.

[Theo Vaughn]

This is so class. Oh, dude.

[Jay Shock]

Then I did a spin, like a transmission. Look at this.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Right through. We had so many good moments together, and it all was so natural and real. And I told, like, him and a lot of people, like, if I ever met big people, like, I don't know, celebrities like Post Malone or, I don't know, Jalen Hurts. I just want to be friends. Like, I want to be your friend, you know, I don't care about the cameras or publicity. The following. I just. I want to build good friendships.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

And Sketch, to me, is like my brother, literally. We. We. We connected such a good way, and he was the realest person at that school.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, dude, he's just. Yeah, he's a special guy, man. He's one of the few guys that'll just call and, like, check on me every now and then, just kind of see what's going on. He's got a big heart.

[Jay Shock]

Yes, sir.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I just saw him a few weeks ago, bro. I love step, bro. Oh, yeah. People made this. Who made this? This?

[Jay Shock]

My clipper, Danny. He's, like my stream manager, one of my best friends, and he made that instantly because we. It was Sketch's idea to make that pose, and we actually turned it into a T shirt.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, it's beautiful.

[Jay Shock]

Funny as hell.

[Theo Vaughn]

God is beautiful. Two young fellas out there just learning how their bodies work.

Hey, if they're doing sequel, Gosh. And I got it.

[Theo Vaughn]

You would do it. Oh, it'd be perfect, man. You can make your own. I mean, that's the thing now with streaming or with this. Like, we're taking clips from streams. It's just like a moment these days is almost like a whole movie. Was.

Take me. Well, take me into this, man. Take me into the origin story of how, like, before you were even like, a J. Spark in your father's eye, right? Like, take me back then. Like, I want to go. I want to get into.

[Jay Shock]

Go all the way back.

[Theo Vaughn]

I want to go all the way back. But I want to go into, like, the ingredients of the manicotti, right? I want to go into, like.

[Jay Shock]

Cue that. Cue that music.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yes.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, that. That Twilight Zone, doctor Strange music.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Yeah. Because there's a lot of rumors, like. But I want to know, like, where your parents. Where did they meet at, right? Do you know that story?

[Jay Shock]

They met at a club.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay.

[Jay Shock]

My mom.

[Theo Vaughn]

You're not to take. I want you to take me there. Right? I want you to set the season.

[Jay Shock]

Okay.

[Theo Vaughn]

I want you to set it. Because there's a lot of rumors.

[Jay Shock]

I got you, right? I can tell you everything because there's rumors.

[Theo Vaughn]

There's rumors out there that, you know, it was. Two people got caught hugging outside of a Sbarro pizza or whatever, you know, it's like. There's a lot of rooms.

[Jay Shock]

There's a great. Can I. I swear or no?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, you can swear.

[Jay Shock]

There's some crazy shit out there. Yeah. About, like, me and all this dumb stuff.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, there's crazy. It was two people, two Italians tickling each Other outside of his borrow or whatever. And that's how you got started, right? So take me. I want to know how did you really? Who lit that J spark to be the J Wave? Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

So my dad went to a club in the Bronx, I believe. The Bronx.

[Theo Vaughn]

And was your dad a clubber? What kind of guy was he?

[Jay Shock]

I don't know. Really. Doesn't really keep telling me that about that stuff. Like, if he. I asked him about, like, you know, you ever get any action before mom? And he's like, did something on a bench.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Oh, wait. Something on a bench.

[Jay Shock]

On a bench, Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

I mean, forwards got me. It look. Yeah, it might have been. Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, yeah, look.

[Jay Shock]

You know what I'm saying?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, the ladies love that. That little word curtain. They pet that thing.

[Jay Shock]

So they were at a club, and he went up to my mom, and he's like, hey, you want to dance? What's your name? She's like, debbie. And he's like, betty. She walked away. She eventually went back up there, they danced. And then he called her house a night after, and she didn't pick up. And then she called again. He called again. My grandpa, who I called Chucky, who's not here anymore, he picked up and they went out, you know, hung out for a while. Eventually got married. My dad proposed to my mom with a fortune cookie. No, he put a ring in the fortune cookie. Oh, like, imagine having Chinese haircut one night. Boom, ring that's falling out.

[Theo Vaughn]

Dude, that's unbelievable. Well, it's just such a choice because, you know, it's hard after a little bit of Chinese food not to go for it, for the dessert.

[Jay Shock]

So now they. They had a kid. They only had me in Cape Cod. That's where the.

[Theo Vaughn]

So you were.

[Jay Shock]

Magic happened.

[Theo Vaughn]

You were conceived out in Cape Cod, and do you know, like, what was it like?

Yeah, I know exactly where it was.

[Theo Vaughn]

You do? Was it a stormy night? What going on out there?

Shock o'. Clock.

[Theo Vaughn]

I don't know, dude. I'm just saying. Yeah, I'm wondering, like, we. Because here's the thing. Like, Jay Shock has been born to the world, right? And so we have to have the origin story. So it's two. Your. Your parents, they fell in love, they got married, and I.

[Jay Shock]

Yes, they got married. Right. They had me after they got married, I think.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, really? So you might have been married, you might have been conceived out of wedlock.

[Jay Shock]

I don't know.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's a fucking grandmother. I bet.

[Jay Shock]

For sure a thunderstorm while it was happening, while the process was going down.

[Theo Vaughn]

And where. What township was that in?

[Jay Shock]

Do you know what town? Yeah, it was in North Truro. Top Mast Resort in Cape Cod. I go there every year. I had to cut my. My trip short this year because I had to go to Streamer U. And the first year I left. And every year we go, a ton of families bring it up. Best Top Mast North Turo. Cape Cod is my Disney World.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, you think that cobra feels any scare more scared of this guy? Because the guy's jacked. Like, you think a snake can tell if you're jacked?

[Theo Vaughn]

I like animals like that, yeah. I used to sell animals when I was growing up. What's your animal of choice, bro? I've heard. I've heard that you have a few pets.

[Jay Shock]

I want you to guess. Oh, oh, like my. My favorite animal or like, what? I like that.

[Theo Vaughn]

I've heard that you have some pets. I've heard you don't. You don't have any pets.

[Jay Shock]

I wish I did.

[Theo Vaughn]

Really?

[Jay Shock]

I want a dog. I used to have three Rottweilers. At different times. Nuh, that was my thing.

[Theo Vaughn]

What made dogs. What made you get those?

[Jay Shock]

My dad disliked them. My mom loved them. They're good guard dog, you know, and they just look cute, you know? Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, yeah, dude.

[Jay Shock]

My favorite animal is a bald eagle, though, because it could see what I can't. Because I have really bad eyesight. And I feel like my spirit animal is a bald eagle. You can see, like, everything, man. You know what I'm saying? Could see through people's bs, yo.

[Theo Vaughn]

I love that, bro. Dude, imagine if one of them picked you up, too. These things can pick up a lot of stuff.

[Jay Shock]

I think it could pick me up, dude.

[Theo Vaughn]

Two bald eagles could definitely pick you up.

[Jay Shock]

Two?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I think so. How much can they say they can pick up? I bet you didn't need how many. Yeah, let's see. How many bald eagles it would take to pick you up?

[Jay Shock]

£130.

[Theo Vaughn]

A bald eagle can typically lift off three to four pounds.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, see?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I thought they could do more.

[Jay Shock]

Pick a little. Little Shock Juniors.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, they could. Yeah. They could be like. Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

So how many would it take to pick up? Me? A little £4?

[Theo Vaughn]

A little shock nugget or whatever. Maybe like, dude, what about. Dude, what about 130? A pelican? Yeah, it would take probably 40. Let me see.

[Jay Shock]

It would be like a hundred.

[Theo Vaughn]

And it would take 40 Pelicans. It would take. No, it would take 40 Eagles.

[Jay Shock]

I can't do math.

[Theo Vaughn]

I can't.

[Jay Shock]

Definitely can't do math.

[Theo Vaughn]

40 to 45 to 50 bald eagles to carry a grown man.

[Jay Shock]

Well, let's test it out.

[Theo Vaughn]

It's shock o', clock, dude. It's shock o', clock, bro.

[Jay Shock]

Yes, sir.

[Theo Vaughn]

Great. Y' all ever think about how something got its start like Mountain Dew? I always thought it just kind of appeared one day, just sitting here, cool and refreshing and glistening like Maybe a. A beverage stork had flown it in from the great distance beyond, but now it's. It's actually straight out of Tennessee, 1948. Made in a real place by real people. Two brothers working tirelessly to nail that citrus kick that we all love today. Appalachian roots, baby. And honestly, it makes sense because Dew is bold and it's loud and it's got that I'll figure it out myself attitude. Because that's where it came from. Folks with grit and independence, doing things our way, and somehow they bottled that. That attitude is still in it today. Still bold, still unmistakable, still do. It's an American original that's been tasting great since 48. Not just a drink, it's a hometown story in a can. So next time you grab a do, just know it's an American original. Mountain Dew tasting great since 48. Blue chew gold has the juice, baby. That's right. We're talking about those wiener uppers, man. We're talking about them lifters. Wiener uppers. Good thing they don't test for performance enhancing drugs in the bedroom. Cause daddy on that up there, Bluetooth gold, there's good sex, then there's bluechew gold. That's what everybody's using.

So your parents, they fell in love out that you were conceived out of this beach place where you still go to this and your family still goes there for vacation?

[Jay Shock]

Oh, we go there every year with my friends too now.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay.

[Jay Shock]

Do our own thing, you know, good time there.

[Theo Vaughn]

And would you ever. Would that be some of the first place you would meet, ladies and stuff? Dude, let me tell you this.

[Jay Shock]

I have my first kiss there.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. My first kiss on that bed. Girl named Julie. I pulled this shit out of my back pocket. What happened So I liked this girl for so long. Every year we would go. And her sister liked me too. So one year there was this other girl that came because it's all different families. And I ended up liking her over this other girl. And I kind of forgot about her. And the next year I came back and then she forgot about me. She started messing with some other dude. So I was like, I gotta make a move this year. So we're on a bed because we all had different rooms around on the water. And we were all together and I told one of my girlfriends, I'm like, yo, go get me some Oreo cookies. I gotta do something. She goes to get the oil cookies. She never comes back. And we're just talking about family getting personal. And I'm like, yeah, so you'll be okay, right? With all this family stuff happening? She goes, yeah. I'm like, I know you will. I.

[Theo Vaughn]

She shock.

[Jay Shock]

Right then she started crying.

[Theo Vaughn]

Nuh. What happened? Did you kiss her really fast like a bird?

[Jay Shock]

No, I just. I did it. We were cool. I went back to my room and apparently she started crying. She sent me a text message. I'm so sorry, but I like somebody else. I'm like, it's all good. Next day. Kept it kind of chill, but I was like, I waited too long. I'm convinced I would have been dating that girl till today if I didn't wait that long, you know, like, you

[Theo Vaughn]

should have done it a summer before.

[Jay Shock]

You mean exactly. Exactly.

[Theo Vaughn]

Dang, dude. Love is wild like that.

[Jay Shock]

Love is wild. She actually hit me up.

[Theo Vaughn]

But love has a time on the vine. Love has a time.

[Jay Shock]

She's a great person, great family.

[Theo Vaughn]

Love has a time on the vine where it gets ripe and then it falls off. You know what I'm saying?

[Jay Shock]

You think so?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I think so, man. You just told me. It's like.

[Jay Shock]

Well, I. I mean, you're right about.

[Theo Vaughn]

I think you told me that. I don't know.

[Jay Shock]

I haven't had a girlfriend in nine or 10 years. 20. 20, 18 was the last time I had a girlfriend.

[Theo Vaughn]

Really?

[Jay Shock]

Last time I did anything. Dang. Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

So you got. So you got love on the brain, though.

[Jay Shock]

I got.

[Theo Vaughn]

So you got a lot of love to give.

[Jay Shock]

I got a lot of love to give and trying to receive a man.

[Theo Vaughn]

Amen.

[Jay Shock]

You know?

[Theo Vaughn]

But when you put so much out there, man, your energy is so just like. I don't know, it makes me. I think it makes. It reminds people to just be themselves. You have to be the best that they can. Dude, I'll tell you this story. So one time we went to the beach and. Are you comfortable?

[Jay Shock]

Yes, sir.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay. We went to the beach and it was like down in like Panama City or Destin or something. And at night, like, the kids would go walk out on the beach at night. Like that was the thing, you know, like if you were 14 or whatever, you. It was like right around that time, our parents like, yeah, you can go out of the beach, you know what I'm saying? Stay out of the. Stay out of the ocean or whatever, but go have, go have a good time. So during the day we would go sneak liquor or something, bury it out in the sand or whatever. Then we'd go find it and dig it up later at night and drink it out there.

[Jay Shock]

Okay.

[Theo Vaughn]

But anyway, one night I'm out there, my buddy had met some friends, he's talking to them. So I went. I was. I'm kind of walking down the beach and I met this gal. And so we start like, kind of talking and she's like, it's a full moon. She's talking about this full moon stuff. And then we end up like going out in the water and kind of like, kind of kissing or whatever a little bit. And so it was like, very romantic, you know. And then we come back and we go back like over by the hotel or the motel, whatever we're staying in. And we got into like the lights that were over there. And she was like 35 years old and I. And I was like 14 or what? And we just didn't realize, I think, like, because it was dark out there, we just didn't realize it was like such an age difference and bro. And so we just both like, looked at each other and we're like, what the heck? I think like the way the moonlight hit us, you just couldn't tell you

[Jay Shock]

hooked up with a cougar when you were 14.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, brother. And I was just. I was out there on the beach just trying it, but it was just that, you know, when you're out there

[Jay Shock]

in the summer, that late night jam, that love everything.

[Theo Vaughn]

Everything sounds like love. Yes, everything sounds like love music too. Just the waves hitting the moon. Sounds like it just hit smell. Oh, the smell of seagulls eating raviolis.

[Jay Shock]

I know.

[Theo Vaughn]

The moon seems like it only came up just to watch people kiss, you know? Oh, you.

[Jay Shock]

You're getting like a painting of an image right now. I feel like we're at a beach, dude.

[Theo Vaughn]

It's beautiful, brother. Yeah, that's one thing about that love, like, especially at that Young love. There's just something about it, bro. When you'd be so nervous and you'd go to school, dude, that would be the craziest, bro.

[Jay Shock]

I would get butterflies every time I saw this girl.

[Theo Vaughn]

I would get fucking bald eagles in me.

[Jay Shock]

Little bald eagles.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, they're flying around eating my intestines. That's how nervous I got. Like, I'd be standing there like this. There's nine parrots inside, huh?

[Jay Shock]

Throw up.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, dude, I threw up one time out of the window in class. This one girl was so beautiful, I just ran over to the window and just vomited.

[Jay Shock]

Right? That's crazy.

[Theo Vaughn]

Didn't even care. And it was some kid out there studying or whatever. Whatever. Screw him.

[Jay Shock]

I think now, looking back with that I've only been in one relationship. I think, like, oh, yeah. I always think, like, I wonder if she sees me.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, sees you now, like, having some of your success, doing your thing.

[Jay Shock]

Because I feel like someone has gone up to a bar. Like, yo, like, you ever see this dude? Be like, that's with my ex. And then I want that dude to be like, well, you. You messed up. You left up. You know, But I never wish, right?

[Theo Vaughn]

You're not wishing.

[Jay Shock]

You know, I've called her a million times. She never picked up. You know, she blocked my number, unblocked it. Haven't heard from her in, like, 10 years. And it's just like, block a clock. I want to see how you're doing. Block o clock.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Is that what you said?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, dude, you got block o', clock, bro. The husband blocking, it's bad now.

[Jay Shock]

It's crazy, man.

[Theo Vaughn]

And what. How did things fall apart between you and her?

[Jay Shock]

I was immature, Mr. Vaughn. I was very immature.

[Theo Vaughn]

I feel like, dude, every time you call me Mr. Vaughn, I feel like I teach driver's ed. Dude, this is so good.

[Jay Shock]

Do you want me to call you Theo?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

I feel bad.

[Theo Vaughn]

No, you can call me whatever you want.

[Jay Shock]

All right.

[Theo Vaughn]

But it's great, though. It just. It shows who you are, bro. You got a level of respect.

[Jay Shock]

So we were dating for a year and a half, and I just. I was immature. Like, I was stupid. I didn't know what I wanted to do in life. I wasn't like a man. I wasn't. I wasn't tough. I didn't have any priorities, you know, any. Any hobbies. Like, I was just any direction, you know? I mean, I like music. I. I made music. But I think she could. She sensed that. Like, she's like, I'm going to be A pharmacist in college. What are you going to do? I'm like, ah, I'll figure it out. I'll major in something.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

So she went her way, I went my way and she broke up with me. But I think she cheated on me because she was. She kept bringing up like this other guy and I'm like, who the fuck is this? You know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Why keep bringing up Rick or whatever his name was. Ricky.

[Jay Shock]

Who?

[Theo Vaughn]

Was his name Ricky? Or not. I just guess names sometimes. It wasn't Ricky.

[Jay Shock]

Was it Tony?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, God.

[Jay Shock]

I think it was Tony.

[Theo Vaughn]

Of course it was Tony. Where was this at?

[Jay Shock]

When?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, 10 years ago in Long Island. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was Tony.

[Jay Shock]

It was Tony, but I think she was hanging out with him type shit. And it was just weird because toward the end of the relationship, I wasn't seeing her that much. She was going out and she called me over one day to go to the beach and she came out with a blanket. Not a blanket, a hoodie. My hoodie.

[Theo Vaughn]

And there was a baby.

[Jay Shock]

A bracelet.

[Theo Vaughn]

And there was a baby in the hoodie.

[Jay Shock]

No, like E.T.

[Theo Vaughn]

no, like she had a baby with the other guy.

[Jay Shock]

With Tony, like looking like E.T. remember E.T.

[Theo Vaughn]

oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jay Shock]

No, there was no baby. I don't think there was.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, thank God.

[Jay Shock]

And it was all my shit. She's like, here. I'm like, why?

[Theo Vaughn]

You just had a little bit of stuff. She had it all wrapped up in a hoodie.

[Jay Shock]

All my stuff with my bracelet, I gave it back to her, we took a walk, I started crying, she started crying, and that was it. A couple months later we tried to get back together, but her mom passed away.

[Theo Vaughn]

Nuh.

[Jay Shock]

So I had to like, try to help her through it. And she was going through a lot of shit, man. So it just didn't work out. And ever since then, that's it.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's been it.

[Jay Shock]

The only love Shock's ever had.

[Theo Vaughn]

Damn.

[Jay Shock]

And now it's weird because I don't know if a girl likes me for, like, my status, if I even have a high status, or if. If they like me for who I am. And it's like I've been on different dating apps. I get matches, I don't get matches. And you don't know what's real. And it's just hard to find love. Cause I'm such a sociable person. I talk to everyone. Like we go to the bar or something. I'm talking to everyone. Girls, guys, making friends. And meanwhile these girls are approaching guys and I'm like, What the. Am I a brick wall? Am I invisible? Am I muted? It's like I can't land anything, you know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Do you ever feel like that? Do you feel like. Do you ever feel like you're always going to be alone? Is that a weird question?

[Jay Shock]

I. I've become comfortable with being alone because I'm grinding. Like, I'm just so hungry now to just literally.

[Theo Vaughn]

I saw you eat 12 nuggets. I saw you eat freaking 12 nuggets, dude.

[Jay Shock]

12 what?

[Theo Vaughn]

I saw you eat 12 nuggets somewhere.

[Jay Shock]

Well, nugget.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I was at Burger King, I think.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, I download. Dude.

[Theo Vaughn]

I saw you.

[Jay Shock]

Nuggets.

[Theo Vaughn]

I saw you eat those crown nuggets.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, it looks like I ate it. It looks like I ate it. Oh, it's part of the magic.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's the magic of Hollywood.

[Jay Shock]

People think I'm eating all the food, but I'm really just putting it to the side, eating it after bringing it home, giving it to someone, you know.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, that's.

[Jay Shock]

There's not a lot of homeless people where I am, but if. If there is, I'll go out of my way and drop it off, you know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Well, these days, you got to find them. It's like, ever since. Yeah. Like, that Pokemon Go there was. They've had, like, a lot of competition out there, I feel like, because, dude, people were like, it's crazy when Pokemon

[Jay Shock]

Go, they're like a homeless Pokemon Go.

[Theo Vaughn]

But it's like, before Pokemon Go, we had homeless people. It was like they were the Pokemon Go. And then. And then they did. They even digitized, if so homeless. You. Like, what? Like, I used to have some. Now there's just. People would be, like, stepping over, like, get out of my way, homeless guy.

[Jay Shock]

I'm looking for.

[Theo Vaughn]

For a digital charizard, you know? So, yeah, things have just gotten different, man. But about the girls, you said that, like, now it's like, so now you have more popularity, right? So that's one thing that I think a recognizability. That's another thing that I like to say. So it's like you get recognizability, and then things do get a little bit confusing. But if you're a guy that's pretty close to their own feelings and close to their own emotions, I feel like you'd be able to clock pretty good if a girl is being real or not.

[Jay Shock]

Definitely.

[Theo Vaughn]

And then if you all also are just looking to have something casual, just a little, you know.

[Jay Shock]

A little something.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, just a little something.

[Jay Shock]

Just a little down to Have a little something.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Just a little tickle.

[Jay Shock]

Trying.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Little cuddle session. Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Just a little freaking pop in a Blu Ray.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

A little dirty ravioli Blu Ray, bro.

[Jay Shock]

And a blue medicine Alfredo.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, bro. You're walking. Playing with this little baby rattle I got in my pants here. That little. The freaking Lord's manicotti, bro. The third thumb, put it on the shoulder. Oh, dude.

[Jay Shock]

Hey, listen, I'm trying. I really am.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I got the penis of a large toddler, brother. That's what I say.

[Jay Shock]

What a binky.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. What are we talking about, dude? But. Yeah, dude. But you would be able to notice, bro, because I'm saying, if you're so much of a heart, which I think you know, that's who you are, right? You're so much of a guy who's, like, connected to the feelings. You're a real guy. You're gonna know if somebody's being real or not.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, I've had. I went to this place in Port Washington, and there was a group of girls, like, all nines. I call them a nickel and four pennies. Nine out of nines. And it was like their birthday weekend or something. And me and my boy were out. It was me, my dad and my two friends, and we got a couple espresso martinis. I had, like a mocktail or something, and all these girls were out there talking to us. My friend was taking a shit in the bathroom from the espresso martini, missing out on all the action.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, there's always that guy.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. My dad's talking to the bartender, and me and my boy are talking to all these girls, and they keep coming out like a stampede of girls. And we're talking. I'm talking to all of them. I'm talking to 10 girls at once.

[Theo Vaughn]

Jesus Christ. That movie, 300 or whatever, I could

[Jay Shock]

talk to infinite amount of girls at the same time. There's tons of it.

[Theo Vaughn]

Jacques, don't say that.

[Jay Shock]

I can.

[Theo Vaughn]

At the same time, I could. You said you can't even do math.

[Jay Shock]

Hey, how you doing? What's going on? Yeah, you good? Hey, I like your dress. You like it? I'm just on the fly. Anyway, one girl is like, what do you. I see you on TikTok. Like, you're famous, right? I'm like, I guess I'm not famous. I'm like, if you don't know me, I'm not famous. I don't like to say. I never like to say I'm famous or something like that, because I'm not. I like to say I'm just an example of what you could be. Yeah, you know. Cause that's being humble. Like God said that, you know, I'm just an example of what you could be. You're just an example of what I could be. You're like a mentor. Whatever.

[Theo Vaughn]

Because there's a lot of rumors out there. There's people that say you're Allen. I've heard you're Allen, one of Allen Iverson's kids. I've heard that before.

[Jay Shock]

I could be friggin Shaq's kid for all we know. I don't know Allen Iverson.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's what I've heard. There's a lot of rumors out there. I could shoot threes, bro. That's all. But anyway, but no, but also, I want to. Let me just. I'm trying to think of what else. Oh yeah, there's rumors that you were conceived during an episode of Jersey Shore. A reunion episode. You know, that's a. That's A.

[Jay Shock]

By who? Molly B. Huh?

[Theo Vaughn]

I have no idea, dude.

[Jay Shock]

Paulie D and Snooki. Or J. Wow. J, wow. Jay Shock. Oh, possibility, bro.

I had a crush on jwow like crazy.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, who didn't?

[Jay Shock]

[Theo Vaughn]

Damn, who's she with? Dude, she's with us, bro. In our dreams, bro.

[Jay Shock]

No, I'm not. I'm not.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay.

[Jay Shock]

She is asking me how much money I'm making. Like, like, she's like, how many views do you get? Like, did the money come from the views and all this stuff? I'm like, I'm not telling you that. Like, I don't talk about money like that. And like, like, I was.

[Theo Vaughn]

Was it one of those View Diggers? Yes, there's a lot of those View Diggers, dude. Yeah, Few diggers are the worst, bro.

[Jay Shock]

For real. Oh, I. That's a. That's a good term. Like, that, like, they have the gold version, then you have the view version.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, yeah. View diggers are the worst, bro.

[Jay Shock]

I'm like, clout chaser.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

You know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

And I got like, four of their numbers.

[Theo Vaughn]

So you were interested then.

[Jay Shock]

And I was like, which one do you want to go on a date with me? And they raised their hand and I. I like, all right, let's go get sushi. Nothing ever happened. That's how everything always happens. I go. I get the confidence. Ask her out. We go nowhere. That's how it happens, dude.

[Theo Vaughn]

I frickin met this girl, I'll tell you this. Not even that long ago. And she texted me, and then I guess I messed up. Let's do one more little cheers. I kind of enjoyed that. Dude. Bro, I feel like I'm watching. Dude, do it one more time. I feel like I'm watching your video.

[Jay Shock]

Choco clock.

[Theo Vaughn]

Choco clock.

[Jay Shock]

You really gotta make a noise when you sip it, too. Whoa.

[Theo Vaughn]

A little gargle at the end, huh? The old Italian mating call. I'm good, brother.

[Jay Shock]

Let's pass out.

[Theo Vaughn]

You only get one more sip. Okay.

[Jay Shock]

Okay. One more Later.

[Theo Vaughn]

And you can't have it too close to bed either, so good. I know.

[Jay Shock]

What are the flavor, huh?

[Theo Vaughn]

I don't know. I think this is antipasta or whatever. We got something special because we knew

[Jay Shock]

a little mortadella flavor.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, we knew we'd have some Italians in here today, brother. Oh, yeah, we got some gnocchi.

[Jay Shock]

Hell yeah, dude.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I was telling you this story about a freaking date or something. Yeah, dude. And I said, this girl, we end up texting. And then I sent her. I was just having, like a day. Like, sometimes I like sending voice notes better than text. Do you ever do that?

[Jay Shock]

Oh, hell yeah. Or like a you voice. The. The text message. I'll type it out for you. But the voice memo is good because they like to hear your voice. Yeah, I heard girls like that, dude.

[Theo Vaughn]

I frickin heard girls like that too. And so I sent this girl one and I sent this girl one. And dude. And it was like I was. You ever noticed when you're just in your bag when you're talking, you're like, oh, dude, I'm feeling good. I'm confident. Everything's good. I sent her, like a nice voice note. It was funny and everything. Nothing.

[Jay Shock]

Damn.

[Theo Vaughn]

Nothing.

[Jay Shock]

Unbelievable. Did you fart in the voice memo?

[Theo Vaughn]

No, I just was normal.

[Jay Shock]

You didn't, like, sound like deeper high? What did you say?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I told her. I said I met this Christian water skiing group and I was at a lake last week and that I. And it was fun and that. Yeah, things were going pretty well and that. And then. Oh, I asked her. Yeah, I said, do you have a husband or anything? Because I didn't know she had a husband. Because I didn't want to be messaging someone that had a husband.

[Jay Shock]

That's like, you got to call. There's certain. If you say that, that's saved forever. I like the call. You don't want to have anything saved on voice or tossed.

[Theo Vaughn]

But what did I say that was wrong? You just said it. Do the voice note. You said you liked it. No, but I said, do you have a husband? I don't want to be messaging some lady that have a husband. That's what I was saying.

[Jay Shock]

I think he was going blind. Figure it out. Find out.

[Theo Vaughn]

What do you mean? That's what I did. And I didn't get sh. Nothing I didn't figure out. I figured it out that. That she was not interested, I guess.

[Jay Shock]

I don't know.

[Theo Vaughn]

But I don't know. I sent a nice voice to it. She wasn't into it.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

So it's okay. We don't need to feel bad about it.

[Jay Shock]

She missed out.

[Theo Vaughn]

She missed out, right?

[Jay Shock]

You know what I say?

[Theo Vaughn]

I don't feel bad about it.

[Jay Shock]

They can't see greatness. Oh, so why should you settle for less?

[Theo Vaughn]

Well, yeah, if you can't see greatness, baby. I'm like, look, I can't. I ain't buying you glasses, girl. You know?

[Jay Shock]

Anyway, dang. What else?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, what else? Dude, I got to know a little bit more about the origin story because there was so many rumors. Oh, so many rumors. Dude, there was ones that you were, like, conceived near power lines. That was one. There was one. I'm trying to think. What else? Oh, you were like a data center baby or whatever. Yeah, that's a big rumor going around that you're a data center baby. That, like, if you crack you open, you'd have a bunch of data in your neck or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

Could be. Could be a robot, a bunch of

[Theo Vaughn]

recipes or bunch of episodes of euphoria in your neck or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

Or something like Italian rainbow cookies in me. Dude.

[Theo Vaughn]

Bro, that be so good, bro.

[Jay Shock]

It's just coming up. Canolies come out of me.

[Theo Vaughn]

It's just a bunch of brave canolies come out. Oh, that be so good, though, dude. Bro, you could be an Italian superhero. I could see you being an Italian superhero because we need a new one. Who's the latest one?

[Jay Shock]

Who's a what?

[Theo Vaughn]

Who's the latest Italian superhero? Maybe Pauly D. And Vinnie. Who's the latest one? Has there ever been an Italian superhero?

[Jay Shock]

Tony Soprano could be it. Who the hell is an Italian? Is. Is Iron Man Italian?

[Theo Vaughn]

I don't know. Iron Rob? Iron Tony Stark.

[Jay Shock]

No, that's not Iron.

[Theo Vaughn]

Sounds like Dutch or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, no. Bruce Banner. That's got to be Italian.

[Theo Vaughn]

Bruce Banner.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, that's German. Banner's. German Banner.

[Theo Vaughn]

But he was green. He wasn't green during the day.

[Jay Shock]

What Marvel character is Italian?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, our Italians being fairly represented in the Marvel Universe. Look that up. Are Italians being fairly represented in the Marvel Universe? In the Marvel Universe? Because if not, we'll leave. You feel me?

[Jay Shock]

Who is this?

[Theo Vaughn]

Italian representation in the Marvel Universe is a mixed bag, viewed by many fans and cultural critics as historically lacking in depth. While Italian American characters like the Punisher, Frank Cassidy.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, yeah, the Punisher.

[Theo Vaughn]

Not bad.

[Jay Shock]

He's awesome. Have you seen that show?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, dude. Yeah, people admire him a lot. You see, people are making Halloween costumes out of him.

[Jay Shock]

He's awesome, men. He was in the Walking Dead originally.

[Theo Vaughn]

He's a great. Yeah. Oh, he's a great actor. But what else did it say about the Italians? I Wanted to read a little bit more of that because that's a great question. Our iconic direct Italian nationality is often neglected of mobsters like count nefarious stereotypes or occasional background characters. Wow.

[Jay Shock]

Right? Right.

[Theo Vaughn]

There are very few major Italian or Italian American superheroes.

[Jay Shock]

Huh? You could see that?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Any one of those words.

[Theo Vaughn]

He's got it zoomed in pretty good. That's probably a 56 font.

[Jay Shock]

I don't know how I drive.

[Theo Vaughn]

Damn. You were allowed to drive? Yeah, bro.

[Jay Shock]

I mean, like something is gonna be that size on the road.

[Theo Vaughn]

I wouldn't let you drive a Doberman, homie.

[Jay Shock]

I drive. I haven't been in an accident. Knock on whatever. God forbid.

[Theo Vaughn]

Really?

[Jay Shock]

I have a. Yeah, I drove a normal car, but now I drive a Tesla because it drives for you.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, it's so nice.

[Jay Shock]

So like, if you want to have some fun on the way home when a. When a shoddy, you put it in self driving.

[Theo Vaughn]

But bro, if you put it in self driving, you put your feet up like that, bro.

[Jay Shock]

Do anything you want, man.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's pretty legendary, bro.

[Jay Shock]

I just like this.

[Theo Vaughn]

I love how everything's a carnival ride to you, dude. You could be sitting in anything. You're just like wee. Yeah, this is it, bro.

[Jay Shock]

[Jay Shock]

I was in a random parking lot.

[Theo Vaughn]

Are you sure? Dude, this looks like one of the nights scenes in. No, in Breath of the Wild, it looks like you're driving through. Where you driving through? Right there. That's not even real.

[Jay Shock]

The game, Breath of the Wild. The game?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

You played that?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I played that game. I like that game. I didn't like the second one that

[Jay Shock]

they made the of the kingdom.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, it just was too much. We had to put rims on the freaking. They wanted you to put.

[Jay Shock]

You had to build. I know. Those are really good games though.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, they were great games. But. But you had to put rims on the.

[Jay Shock]

I know what you're talking about.

[Theo Vaughn]

Like the boat or whatever. Like the. Yeah, yes, yeah.

[Jay Shock]

The craft. Like.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, like that. They want you to buy rims in this. I'm like, this shit's getting a little too urban.

[Jay Shock]

I love video games so much, man. I think part of me, like the lore is from cartoons and video games. Why I'm so sociable because I love colorful things. I like things that move. I like animation. I love animation. You ever see that spider verse movie?

[Theo Vaughn]

There's a new one that just came out. There's a new spider man, that just came out. I know my friends going to see it.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I got a. I didn't even seen it. Spider verse, dude.

[Jay Shock]

It's unreal. One of my favorite movies.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, dude, we just got to learn more about the lore because there was all kind of stuff I heard that you wouldn't. You were not even conceived. You just spawned out of the chimney of like, a Buca di Beppa or something.

[Jay Shock]

[Theo Vaughn]

I just heard this stuff, dude. I heard that they just found you. Like, you were just in a bassinet in the. Like, in like a. In like one of those dishwashing, like, things at a. At a macaroni grill. They just found you in there.

[Jay Shock]

I mean, at this point, I might have been dropped off by a freaking ufo.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, dude, I like that.

[Jay Shock]

Who knows?

[Theo Vaughn]

Who knows? There's just a lot of good. But that's the best is the lore, bro. Is just finding out, like, how it started, you know?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Because. Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff. There's rooms.

[Jay Shock]

never been to Italy.

[Theo Vaughn]

You haven't?

[Jay Shock]

You've been to Italy? I never outside the country.

Because my mom has a bad equilibrium, so she doesn't fly anywhere. Like, man up this, man. Look at this frickin wow. Freaking. What would you call that superhero name this guy.

[Theo Vaughn]

But that doesn't even look like you. That doesn't, does it?

[Jay Shock]

No, that. I know that picture.

[Theo Vaughn]

So. But. But yeah. So take me back to. Let's go back a little, right? Take me back to when the shock o' clock was at zero. Right?

[Jay Shock]

Like when I was born. Yeah, okay. I was born April 9, 1999, and

[Theo Vaughn]

I heard you stayed in the incubator for like 40 seconds. You were like, I'm out.

[Jay Shock]

You know, like the hand solo freezer. They had me in that because I was too. I was too hot when I came out. They got struck by lightning when I came out. Put me there to cool me down in that. I was frozen like this. Yeah, as a baby

[Theo Vaughn]

[Jay Shock]

I don't know my earliest memory, but I know like kindergarten. I was looking at paper like this and they called my parents to school. They're like, your son can't see shit. He's looking at the paper like it's like a Playboy.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, damn, bro. But you think you were seeing anything or you think you thought there was something on it and you just didn't?

[Jay Shock]

No, no, I couldn't see. So now, oh, damn. I didn't bring them. I should have brought them. And they're like, they had to test my eyesight and see, like, what was going on.

[Theo Vaughn]

And could you see anything?

[Jay Shock]

I I just. It was bad.

[Theo Vaughn]

It was like a worm or something. Because worms can't even see. Can a worm see? Look that up.

[Jay Shock]

A worm. Yeah, a worm.

[Theo Vaughn]

Like, you know what I'm saying? How much could you see?

[Jay Shock]

I mean, I could see. I just can't see little things.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

So you can't see the haters, then.

[Jay Shock]

I was born with, like, a really, really rare condition, which is why I can't see or hear that good. You want me to say what it is?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Is it all right?

[Jay Shock]

Kenny, like, from South Park? Kenny. Kenny Caffey syndrome.

[Theo Vaughn]

Kenny Caffey.

[Jay Shock]

Kenny Caffey syndrome. It's so rare.

[Theo Vaughn]

I thought he fucking played for the Mets. Kenny Caffe.

[Jay Shock]

It sounds like a freaking rap artist. Yo, Kenny Caffy's dropping a new mixtape next week.

[Theo Vaughn]

It sounds like a rap artist out of Buffalo. Dude.

[Jay Shock]

Dude, the doctors, they don't even know what I have. Like, it's.

[Theo Vaughn]

They don't. Dude, like, he's got Kenny C. You know?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, it's got Kenny Ca.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, they're just naming. He's like. He's like. He's got Benny Ogbiani, you know, arms or whatever does name and from the past, you know?

[Jay Shock]

Oh, my God, man.

[Theo Vaughn]

Wow. Kenny Caffeine syndrome is classified as primary bone dysplasia. Oh, dysplasia, dude, my buddy's Australian shepherd has that.

[Jay Shock]

It's a growth. It's a growth hormone deficiency.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's a hip thing, huh? Sometimes it can be in your hips, too, I think. Meaning it is a disorder of how bones form and grow.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, I don't produce growth hormone because I have an underdeveloped pituitary gland, and I don't produce calcium, so I got to take all different. Like, I have to take injections for that, and I have to take pills or else I'll have a seizure and fucking die, which is what almost happened when I was seven or eight.

[Theo Vaughn]

Did they know. When. Did they know you had cancer?

[Jay Shock]

When I was born. When I was born. Because when I'm born, how they tell.

[Theo Vaughn]

How they get you. How they. How they get you to admit it, because I don't think you're a snitch. What happened?

[Jay Shock]

I was an oversized baby. I was, like, frigging 8 to 10 pounds. And people that have my condition are big babies and their eyes look a little bit weirder. But I.

[Theo Vaughn]

Out the gate. They knew you had it.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, they. They knew? I mean, no. No, they didn't know. They probably diagnosed me with it from different things.

[Theo Vaughn]

Because you probably didn't admit you have it.

[Jay Shock]

Do you? Because I had a seizure. That's what happened. I had a seizure when I was, like, 1 or 2 years old. And then when I was 7, that was the first.

[Theo Vaughn]

That was the actual Jay shock.

[Jay Shock]

Why'd I do that? It's dark that bad.

[Theo Vaughn]

But, hey, out of dark comes light.

[Jay Shock]

Yes, sir.

[Theo Vaughn]

Let's go. Amen, brother.

[Jay Shock]

Amen. But when I was seven, I was sick, like, really sick, and I was throwing up all my medication, and that night, I used to watch movies with my mom and fall asleep, and I slept in her room that night. And thank God. I think that I would have died. I legitimately would have died because I had a seizure and I woke up in a hospital. But when I was having a seizure, she, like. I was, like, you know, shaking, and she caught me and called the ambulance, called my neighbor, and I woke up in a hospital. Like, what happened? She's like, you had a seizure?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh.

[Jay Shock]

And that was when we had to talk about, you know, getting better medication and making sure that I don't mess. Because I was sick. Like, I was very sick, and I was throwing up, and my. The doctor was like, he'll be fine.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, he just had a bad ravioli or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

Died then. That's okay.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, he just been.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, that's what happened.

[Theo Vaughn]

Don't put any more gravy in his bottle or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

Exactly.

[Theo Vaughn]

God, that's crazy, dude, man. Thank you, Debbie. Right?

[Jay Shock]

Thank you, Debbie.

[Theo Vaughn]

Thank you, Debbie. Mama shock for being there, man. Wow.

[Jay Shock]

Crazy, right?

[Theo Vaughn]

A mother's love that she just wanted you there with her that night. That's pretty special, man.

[Jay Shock]

I cracked my skull open two times.

[Theo Vaughn]

Nah, with what?

[Jay Shock]

My head. I fell off a stage.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I thought you meant with something like some crazy guy or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

Like a lightning bolt.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Like, look, I'm a pinata and just hit you.

[Jay Shock]

Watch.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Take a Rolex and slam it on my head.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Oh.

[Theo Vaughn]

What the.

[Jay Shock]

But no, I was on a stage playing a game on a Christmas party.

[Theo Vaughn]

Wait, what happened? So take me and how you break it. Wait, wait, what's. What happened?

[Jay Shock]

Well, one. One, I fell down the stairs of the kid. And then two, I fell off of a stage. I was sitting, like, backwards like this, and we were playing, like, a little basketball game where you flick it and it's true to the thing. I must have flicked too hard and I fucking fell back.

[Theo Vaughn]

Dang.

[Jay Shock]

Cracked my skull up, and it was bad, dude. Still remember that. You ever have those. Those moments of pain where you could still feel them today? Oh, bro, I could still feel my head hitting that. That tile, man.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I was jumping around on something when I was a kid. I jumped in this corner of my head, hit something, broke it open, and sometimes I can still feel it a little bit.

[Jay Shock]

Damn. And I have a weird shaped head. I don't know if you notice this. You could put your finger there.

[Theo Vaughn]

Let me see. Oh.

[Jay Shock]

And a lot of people online say it's a headset.

[Theo Vaughn]

Then let me tell you. Let me do it one more time. Is that it? Ooh. Wow. That's cool.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's a shock button. Huh?

[Jay Shock]

The shock button.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Hey, don't press this. It's like, hey, you should get one of those things, like, on the top of a ladder. It's like, don't. Not a step or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, that's it. That's my head.

[Theo Vaughn]

Damn. Shock. So what do you have to do? Do you get that filled in or whatever?

[Jay Shock]

My head or.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Like, what do you do? Do you put, like, a hardener in there or something? Like, how do you get it to. Or you got to protect that spot at all costs.

[Jay Shock]

No, no, just. Just there. I mean, I wish I could chisel

[Theo Vaughn]

it up a little bit, but it's exposed, though. A little.

[Jay Shock]

Is it?

[Theo Vaughn]

No, I mean, you can't see it, but if you feel around.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Feel like you can find that one kind of entry point. You know what I'm talking about?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Like. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't want to. You know what I'm saying?

[Jay Shock]

Like, I think I could put a quarter right there. It would sit there.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Like, this would. This wouldn't move.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, that's good, huh?

[Jay Shock]

Right?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Let's go. Shock city, dude. So. But. And then how does your hearing get bad?

[Jay Shock]

So throwing through, like, grade school, middle school, like, I had to get, like, enlarged textbooks. I had to give a little. Little step stool to put my feet on because they would still. They would dangle. They still freaking dangle. And around your legs seem long to me, man. Yeah, my neck's long.

[Theo Vaughn]

Bro, your neck is just your head's leg.

[Jay Shock]

Exactly. And I kept saying, what? And I couldn't hear very good. And we had to take an audiologist test.

[Theo Vaughn]

How did you know you couldn't hear very good? Do you remember?

[Jay Shock]

I was just saying, what a lot. And I wasn't getting good notes in class because I was missing a lot. I'm like, what did you say? It was crazy. I remember the first time I got hearing aids and they put them in. I Cried.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh.

[Jay Shock]

Because I was like, man, I never. Goosebumps. I never heard like, this, you know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, really? You could hear stuff?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. Different frequency. Different like, you know, hi hat and a. And a music. A little symbol. Like, I heard that. Like, birds chirping.

[Theo Vaughn]

And you'd never known the. So. And you had never really conceptualized. Yeah. Because how would you.

[Jay Shock]

Like, I've heard them, but I forgot what they sounded like, because even, like, music, like, I was so unclear. And now when I put a headphone on, like, it's better. I can't wear AirPods, because if I take these out. We should do a hearing exam right now. Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Can I. Can I put one in?

[Jay Shock]

What do you say?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, sorry. Can I put one in?

[Theo Vaughn]

Fuck, yeah.

[Jay Shock]

And it was all the way on the end. And we had an alumni game, the first game we played. And I wore my over the ear hearing aid like an idiot. Theo. I rocked this kid so hard that I poked an ear in my eardrum.

[Theo Vaughn]

You poked a hole in your.

[Jay Shock]

With a hearing aid.

[Theo Vaughn]

You poked a hole in your eardrum and.

[Jay Shock]

Yes, with the hearing aid. I decked him and the hearing aid pushed in and poked a hole. I was able. Cause I vaped at the time. I was able to blow smoke out of my ear.

And I think we're all just trying to be ourselves.

[Jay Shock]

Yes.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, and just before we move on, you really played rugby?

[Jay Shock]

Yes, I did.

[Theo Vaughn]

And did you guys practice and train and everything?

[Jay Shock]

I tried practicing. I couldn't even run half a mile.

[Theo Vaughn]

What?

[Jay Shock]

We had to go, like, run to the fence and back. I. I would be tripping, falling, like. I. My stamina is terrible. You ever see me run?

[Theo Vaughn]

I saw you stream of you from

Because I feel kind of what you're saying about the ducking, but I don't know if I. All right. I feel it's like a. Like a dad that had, like, a. One more time. Sorry, I think. I can't remember. Good. That's okay.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, there's A camera there, that one.

[Theo Vaughn]

You look like somebody that's like left something somewhere. Every time you run it looks like somebody that left something somewhere and they're going to get it.

[Jay Shock]

Is that camera good?

[Theo Vaughn]

I don't know. It's like a peek at it.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, but so I can't run.

[Theo Vaughn]

Well then how do you play rugby?

[Jay Shock]

I don't know. I, I, I wasn't. I'm athletic but like it's, it's, it's a lot of takes a lot of energy for me to like we walked here in Asheville around. I was dying. Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

You know, it can be a lot.

[Jay Shock]

I'm like this.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh yeah, the Lions.

[Jay Shock]

That's good. Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Brisbane Lions. I was a fan of theirs, but they are Australian football. But. All right. So if you could go back in time. Is there a sport that now when looking back strategically based on you and your abilities, you think you would have been great at. If you'd applied yourself. Is there one?

[Jay Shock]

I think basketball I probably had the best shot because I was really good at shooting threes. A couple clips of me playing basketball at Dream of you. But I love basketball. Football is too small for baseball. Was. Baseball is another one though. Like Little League. Like that shit, man.

[Theo Vaughn]

Dude, your strike zones are the size of a Zen can.

[Jay Shock]

These.

[Theo Vaughn]

No, your strike zone probably the size of a damn Zen can, dude.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, hit dinger right there, man.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, dude, you would have walked every.

[Jay Shock]

I walked a lot.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh yeah.

[Jay Shock]

But I also hit a couple, couple dingers. I remember I got my first double and my dad missed it because he was driving the fire engine queens. My mom saw it. That was like a good moment. I used to pitch a little bit too.

[Theo Vaughn]

Did you?

[Jay Shock]

Gun. I have a freaking.

[Theo Vaughn]

I could see it.

[Jay Shock]

I could throw a football far. Baseball far. Probably basketball though, because I liked it.

We had to do like, what's it. What's it called in a. In a frat where you, like, horse around, Something with an A. Hazing or whatever. Yeah, hazing. So we had to do that. Like a warm up. Like get into the brotherhood. And we did like drinking challenges.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Then we just hand it to the kid behind me because they didn't like him. Felt so bad. This kid couldn't drink either.

[Theo Vaughn]

He couldn't.

[Jay Shock]

After half a beer, he would get drunk and he would like, pass out. We got him messed up.

[Theo Vaughn]

He looks like he'll drink half your nuts, to be honest with you. But I don't know him, bro. And also, blessings, dude. We can't be roasting this fucking kid. We don't even know him. But look at the.

[Jay Shock]

I'm sorry. Don't. Don't say his name. You don't know his name. I'm so sorry.

[Jay Shock]

Yo, straight flaming me.

[Theo Vaughn]

Sorry, bro. I'm joking.

[Jay Shock]

So funny.

[Theo Vaughn]

I'm joking, bro.

[Jay Shock]

So funny.

[Theo Vaughn]

I'm joking. And look at the guy behind you trying to be black. He just put a bunch of dirt on his legs. That's. I hate it when dudes do that. I hate that dude. That guy's looking. And then he even wore, like, the black sleeves. Like, look, I'm black. That guy's not even black, dude. Bro, how could three dudes be three different colors and all live in the same country, too, on this picture?

[Jay Shock]

Oh, my God.

[Theo Vaughn]

This is crazy. And this is FIFA, dude. This is the problem we're having since they expanded the tournament and let more teams in.

[Jay Shock]

Look at my jawline, how bad it is.

[Theo Vaughn]

I thought the jawline's solid, bro.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, it's. Before my surgery, what'd they do? They. They broke my top and bottom jaw and realigned it.

[Theo Vaughn]

Jesus Christ.

[Jay Shock]

Type in Jay Shock jaw surgery. It'll come up.

[Jay Shock]

Feeding.

[Theo Vaughn]

I don't know what you're doing, bro. At this point, every.

[Jay Shock]

This is the newer one. You gotta go to the old one.

[Theo Vaughn]

What is going on, Jayshaw?

[Jay Shock]

I had to have corrective jaw surgery because of my calcium deficiency. And they had to start by. Because I have all baby teeth. These are all you want to show you?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Let me see a couple of them. Oh, wow. Baby shock.

Those are worth money, though, the baby ones, right?

[Jay Shock]

Mm. You'd had Nibbler, So it's on YouTube. These. Jayshock 99 jaw surgery on YouTube. But anyway, I had to get new teeth, so in order to get new teeth, they had to start by realigning my jaw. So I was out of work in school for, like, three or four months because I. They blew up my jaw. Like, they had to break the top of my bottom. I look like a freaking Kardashian model. Like, you're gonna see the picture. It's crazy. It was the most pain I've ever been through. I couldn't even do this. My mom had to feed me soup and water through a syringe, and they put me on, like, chocolate. Like, they put me on the shock o'. Clock.

[Theo Vaughn]

They did.

[Jay Shock]

I Had a bottle of Shock o'. Clock.

[Theo Vaughn]

Nuh, it was bad. Did you have one of those feeding bottles or whatever?

[Jay Shock]

No, I. I don't know if I could talk about what I was on, like, prescribed.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, you were on your medication. Was it scary? It was awesome for a little bit. Oh, yeah.

[Jay Shock]

But it's dangerous, that stuff, you know? I can't be doing that. Oh, but Elven Ring came out around the time I was on the Shock o' Clock Potion.

[Theo Vaughn]

Elevator ring. Oh, the ring camera.

[Jay Shock]

No, Elven Ring, Elden Ring, the game. And it just like, it was crazy, man. Like, it took away the pain, but it was like. It was crazy.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. I wonder what games go best with pills or whatever. I wonder what games go best with pills.

[Jay Shock]

I don't even know anything that's in the video game. Probably. You gotta pull up that picture, though. I have it. You want me to show you?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Oh, my God, bro, that looks like you. And sketch. This is really you, dude.

[Jay Shock]

That's me. There it is. There it is. Look at it. Look how swollen I am.

[Theo Vaughn]

Uh. Oh, yeah. You look like you're saving something for winter. That's crazy.

[Jay Shock]

There's some. There's like a screenshot or a B roll or overlay of, like, the pictures.

[Theo Vaughn]

Ugh, look at. You've been drinking breast milk for 40 years, dude. That's what you look like.

[Jay Shock]

Sucking and mucking. Look at this.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, fuck. Look like.

[Jay Shock]

Damn.

[Theo Vaughn]

Look like you're sucking on a tit off of the LIE dude in the Tesla.

[Jay Shock]

Like this.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, bro, you look like goofing. Got a. You got a tough hit on some Jersey tit right over there. Some bugging turnpike nipple. That's what got a hold of you, brother.

[Jay Shock]

The LIE nipples.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, look how you were trying to give up. Damn. Look like you were trying to slurp on something in bumper to bumper traffic right there. Yeah, brother. That's a tough look, dude.

[Jay Shock]

Isn't that crazy?

[Theo Vaughn]

It is, dude. God, you've been through so much, man.

[Jay Shock]

I've been through so much, Theo. Oh, like real talk.

[Theo Vaughn]

I know. And just your resiliency, man, in your attitude, your ability to have a positive attitude. It's so funny, man. I think seeing you today is like. And I hate to even make this about myself, but, like, it's just what I needed. I needed to be reminded of, like, that, like, everybody is dealing with stuff. We're all going through things that we got this right? And the way to do it is just. Is to keep positive, you know?

[Jay Shock]

I've been through some More psychological shit. I don't know how deep you want me to get into it, but could we talk about that stuff?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. What was one of the tougher times that you dealt with? Do you feel like. Like, when it comes to, like, some of your mental, like mental health and emotional health, that sort of thing, we

[Jay Shock]

could talk about, like, weed. Yeah, we can.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

So I used to smoke a lot of weed when I was younger. Like, high school, college or college, mainly. And I was addicted to the pen called the Penjamin. Had a Rick and Morty pen.

[Theo Vaughn]

Penjamin button they called you, I bet.

[Jay Shock]

Something like that. Yeah. And I was in Cape Cod, my homeland, right where I was born. And I was drinking, I was smoking, not getting sleep. I was sleep deprived. And I think a mixture of everything. And then I did it so much that I went into psychosis from hitting that pen for over a month. And I was. It was bad. I was checked into multiple hospitals. I was in a psych ward for over a month. And while I was. How I got confident.

[Theo Vaughn]

Did you get 5150 or whatever? Did you get 5150'd it's called, or something?

[Jay Shock]

51.

[Theo Vaughn]

You're in a psych ward. Go on.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, sorry. And before I got there, I was. I was looking. I was working at Home Depot. That was my first, like, real job. And I felt like people were following me. Like, I was ringing up the same four customers all day. I was hearing voices in my head. And then I get in my car and I. I'm like, dad, like, people are following me. Like, I would say. Like, I would say red car. Like, I want a red car. Like, a red car would drive by. It was only, like, weird little coincidences that were happening. But that's what happens when you're in psychosis. Like, these coincidences happen. Shit seems so real. So I ended up getting home. I thought my dad was recording me. We had, like, a fist fight. Like, it was bad, dude. Like, they.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, you accused him of recording you?

[Jay Shock]

No, I thought cameras were recording me. There weren't. I thought my whole life was being broadcasted.

[Theo Vaughn]

Where did you think that your dad was hiding the cameras?

[Jay Shock]

On his phone. Because every time he was on the phone, like, the camera looked like it was recording me.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, you thought it was recording you?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. So I ran to my neighbor's house.

[Theo Vaughn]

Would you tell the neighbors? You knock on the door, you just go.

[Jay Shock]

I said, my parents are trying to do some shit, like. And they're like, oh, you're good. You're Good. Trust me. Like. Oh. Oh, no. I was. I was playing gta, and in the game, there was, like, things happening in the game. Like, I was getting pulled over in the game. Like, I thought, like, all this stuff was happening because of, like, what. Like, I did something wrong. It was so weird, Theo. Like, I can't even explain it. Was it scary, too?

[Theo Vaughn]

Was it scary also?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, it was really scary. They were telling me, either you take the medicine or we check you into a psych ward. And the psych ward I was in was all of younger people when I was there.

[Theo Vaughn]

Did you have a sport? You have, like, a volleyball team of a sports league or anything in there? No.

[Jay Shock]

Like a psych ward sports unit or.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, like a.

[Jay Shock]

No, they had a basketball court. And I'll tell you, I was shooting full court shots like, it was like nothing. Because the drugs they had you on in that hospital were like limitlessly limitless movie. It was like a pill that. It. It unlocked all of my brain, and I was. I was doing. I learned how to freestyle. I learned how to rap.

[Theo Vaughn]

Hey, hey.

[Jay Shock]

I learned how to do all this different stuff because of the medication. It's terrible.

[Theo Vaughn]

Serotonin's down, but these buckets are up. You feel me? That's all I'm saying, brother. That's crazy.

[Jay Shock]

So now while I'm there, like, it was all these different coincidence happening. There was a lot of weird people in there, like, that had their own

[Theo Vaughn]

problems in the psych ward. Who was one of the wildest cats in there.

[Jay Shock]

I don't remember any names, really. Yeah, we don't need a name, but this one. Dude, there was some crazy people in there, man. I had this big African American guy in my room.

[Theo Vaughn]

Black guy?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, big, big black guy in my room. And in the middle of the night, he woke me up, like, hovering over me. Oh, yeah, you got any snacks?

[Theo Vaughn]

Really?

[Jay Shock]

I got some gummies in my chips in my bag. He probably like, I need them now.

[Theo Vaughn]

He said he needed them.

[Jay Shock]

I was like, holy.

[Theo Vaughn]

Probably smelled him.

[Jay Shock]

He probably.

[Theo Vaughn]

If you're that big dude, you can smell food better than we can.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, dude. There was so much shit that's happened in my life. And so the craziest part of all this is that two things. One, when I was at Home Depot, I worked with this kid, and he was training to become a doctor. And when I was in one of the hospitals that I was admitted to, I saw him walking around the hospital. I'm like, dad, that's one of the guys that's following me. He works with me. He's spying on me. And he's like, he's not. He's just a regular doctor. A couple years later I called him like, yo, did you ever work at this hospital at this time? He's like, that was me.

[Theo Vaughn]

You're lying.

[Jay Shock]

He's like, that was me. He's like, now you can rest easy.

[Theo Vaughn]

Was it really him?

[Jay Shock]

It was really him.

[Theo Vaughn]

So he worked at Home Depot and at the hospital?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, training. And then the second. Training for what?

[Theo Vaughn]

What, like, what training would a doctor need at Home Depot? Really?

[Jay Shock]

He just had a side job, like while he was going to school. He worked there.

[Theo Vaughn]

Got it. So now, dude, you ever have it? Okay, go on.

[Jay Shock]

I'm sorry, I had a question.

[Theo Vaughn]

I have a question about Home Depot,

[Jay Shock]

but I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell you in a second. But the craziest thing about all this is the second thing. You know Logic, the rapper?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

He wrote a book, his name is Bobby hall, but he wrote a book called Supermarket. And in the book it's about him living like a double life and he's going through psychosis and he's trying to like hide a killing that he did a really great book, Supermarket. That book came out at the same time I was going through psychosis, so I thought I was the main character of the book that was being filmed live action in the hospital and around the world. I thought they were like doing a 24 hour live stream of me being a real character of that book. I swear to God.

[Theo Vaughn]

Would you ever leave like messages for yourself to find later, like, hey, I'm gonna write myself this note.

[Jay Shock]

Yes. So that whole notebook of it, I wrote songs in it. I wrote little things because were you trying to. Of the girls I liked. I remember I got a. I got a boner.

[Theo Vaughn]

Like, tell us about that boner.

[Jay Shock]

That boner. This nurse. And like at the time, like my body wasn't working right, like my brain, nothing was like working with the stuff they were putting me on was making me feel different things. And I remember one day I was like, oh, I forgot what a boner felt like. And this girl came up to me, we were talking, I was rizzing the fuck out. I thought I was gonna bang this nurse.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, it's hospital Rizz, dude.

[Jay Shock]

That thing was jumping. Oh, like having a great time, talking to everyone. I just can't even explain to you. You would have to be in my head to really know what it felt like.

[Theo Vaughn]

But how did the psychosis come to an end?

[Jay Shock]

It just, they My parents saved me. They really did. Like, they got me out of there. They're like, you can't give them any more medication because they try to keep you in there, Theo.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, yeah, they try to keep.

[Jay Shock]

That's how they make money.

[Theo Vaughn]

It's like the zoo. They want the animals.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Imagine you go to a zoo and there's no animals. Or they're like, hey, this animal got better. We let him go. They're like, what? This animal's back happy with his family. You never see any of that. They're always like, this animal. Yeah, he's having. He's got bad lungs or whatever. We're keeping him or something. Something. That's always the prognosis when you're at the zoo, dude. It's. Or this animal. Yeah, he's still. You know what I'm saying? We're put. We're doing physical therapy with him for, like, 11 years or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

You know, he's good now.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, it's always.

[Jay Shock]

Some hippopotamus can open his mouth now. It's good the eagle could fly. But, yeah, I got out and I just. I never smoked weed again.

[Theo Vaughn]

Do you think that something about that. Do you. Do you think that something about that psychosis, the idea of, like, seeing yourself outside of yourself, did that lead you into streaming? Like, you know I'm talking about.

[Jay Shock]

It led me into being creative. I'll say that. I was always creative, but, like, it kind of like, it was like an epiphany almost, like, how well I was doing music at the time. I produced music. So again, like, this another example of why I was. Of how psychosis worked. I thought I was a producer for Jay Z in the hospital. I was playing piano, and I thought they were recording what I was playing on the piano and sending it to Jay Z, and, like, I was hearing it on the speakers. Because everything. When you're in psychosis, you feel like everything is happening for you. So that one of the guys, the music therapy guy, would come in and he would play music for us, and he would play the radio, and I would hear. I would hear, like, in the song, in the lyrics, Jay Shock made the beat. Jay Shock is on. Like, I would hear my name in the song, but it really wasn't there.

[Theo Vaughn]

Got it.

[Jay Shock]

It was just my mind tricking me.

[Theo Vaughn]

Got it.

[Jay Shock]

It's fucking crazy, dude. Crazy. But.

[Theo Vaughn]

So you made it through all of that?

[Jay Shock]

I made it through all that. And, like. Like, Mario, you said, like, how it led to that. I produced music at the time, and I thought I Was making hits. I was, like, calling my friends on the phone. I would remember every phone number that my friends have. Cause we didn't have our cell phones, so I would remember all the names. And I thought for the show or whatever live broadcast was on, I thought I would have to remember the phone number for the thing. I thought I called Riley Reid. I thought I called, like, supermodels.

[Theo Vaughn]

Riley Reid, the porn star?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. I thought I called the model. I got a phone call and I'm like, who is this? And she's like, it's Riley. I'm like, what's up, Riley? I'll be there later.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

And it was just a fucking random person who was. There might have been no one on the phone. That's how crazy it was, Theo.

[Theo Vaughn]

So. But. So. Jesus Christ.

[Jay Shock]

I know I'm getting deep. I know I'm getting all over the place. But all of it makes sense to me because it happened.

[Theo Vaughn]

Well, I know it happened, dude, but you're, like, fucking out there. You're hitchhiking through your own.

[Jay Shock]

I was shooting three. Like, Allen Iverson. I was calling.

[Theo Vaughn]

You know what's crazy is the more you talk, the more it sounds like you might be Allen Iverson's son.

[Jay Shock]

Could be. I couldn't be.

[Theo Vaughn]

So I just got to know, though. So you get out of the hospital, things start to get different. Oh, wait. Oh, one thing before we. What is something about Home Depot that people do not know, dude? Because I'll tell you this. We used to go in that section. My friends and I would get high and we go in that section. You know where the doors are?

[Jay Shock]

Yes. And we go outdoors.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, dude, we go millwork. What's it called?

[Jay Shock]

Millwork.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, we go into the millwork section, dude. And we wait till somebody goes standing on one of the doors, and then we would knock on it.

[Jay Shock]

Dude, that's funny as shit. What is something to know about Home Depot?

[Theo Vaughn]

Just fucking stand there, dude.

[Jay Shock]

Just shitty company. That's all you gotta do. You think it is for them to fire someone that got assaulted for defending themselves? You're a shitty company.

[Theo Vaughn]

That seems like typical. I mean, that's typical Home Depot. I feel like in Atlanta, that feels like everyday Home Depot.

[Jay Shock]

That's. That's the headquarters.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, of course.

[Jay Shock]

And we tried defending my case and all that.

[Theo Vaughn]

And did they settle out of court?

[Jay Shock]

No, we didn't do any court stuff. What happened was I worked there for four years. I worked my way up to, like, a manager position opening clothing the store. I was the king there.

[Theo Vaughn]

And did you have to wear all that stuff, the belt and all the apron?

[Jay Shock]

I had a little tape measure.

[Theo Vaughn]

Was it heavy or not? The stuff you had to carry around?

[Jay Shock]

No, it wasn't heavy. Had a walkie talkie, you know.

[Theo Vaughn]

Really?

[Jay Shock]

It's crazy.

[Theo Vaughn]

I like walkie talkie.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, but it was. It was.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I want to build a parrot

[Jay Shock]

cage, Put a little parrot in the apron, pops out. Yeah. No, it was. It was crazy because, like, when I got fired, nobody like, defended me. They all just dropped me, all the managers, all my friends. Like, they kind of left me for dead, you know?

[Theo Vaughn]

But you didn't leave yourself for dead, man.

[Jay Shock]

No, sir.

[Theo Vaughn]

You know, tell me about how you ended up. I. I know you also ended up working with the u. S. Postal system.

[Jay Shock]

I did. They fired me, too.

[Theo Vaughn]

Really?

[Jay Shock]

Well, the first place I got fired from, because this guy attacked me. And I defended myself at home depot. It was.

[Theo Vaughn]

I know. I. I just. I know that. I've heard that story, but that's what happened there. You got attack. You defended yourself. So I know that that story's out there.

[Jay Shock]

It wasn't even like a. It wasn't like this. It was just like, he comes in, I'm clocking out, and he knocked the wind out of me. At the time, I had pneumonia, so my ribs were bruised. And I just got out of the hospital, and he. Man, he hit me so hard. So I. I slapped him back like that, and he's like, I could do whatever I want to. I'm older than you. I'm like, no, you can't give him that.

[Theo Vaughn]

Giving that wrist ravioli, brother papa deadly smash and extra hand.

[Jay Shock]

Post office. How to get on the job. My dad was like, you got to get a job. Got to get a job. I didn't want to work for the post office.

[Theo Vaughn]

Why? What do you have again? What do you have against him?

[Jay Shock]

I didn't. I just didn't want. Not what I wanted to do. I wanted to make music. At the time, I want. That's all I wanted to do was make music.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay.

[Jay Shock]

Music producer. Yeah. That's my passion, my dream.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay. But you. So you. How do. How do you even audition to be. Work at the post office?

[Jay Shock]

Oh, you have to take a test online. What do you think? You got to, like, throw out mail?

[Theo Vaughn]

I don't know. I guess. I guess I would have at least

[Jay Shock]

go around inside a bicycle, just, like,

[Theo Vaughn]

at least run from a dog.

[Jay Shock]

You got to pass the road test, which was hard because I couldn't even reach the pedals.

[Theo Vaughn]

So in the mail truck.

[Jay Shock]

No, it's. It's. I got two pillows. The. I used to have dreams where I wouldn't be able to reach a car pedal. And when I finally worked for the post office, I was like, these are what the dreams are about. Because I couldn't reach the pedals. Passed the test. I was on probation for 30 days. I had an Asian man named Chen train me. And he's like, you're terrible. You're horrible. You're gonna be terrible. Madman. He hated me, but he loved me at the same time. He was a Navy seal and he trained me to, like, you know, throw the mail out. I had to have my magazines here, my letters here. You had to balance this shit. You have to have a bag over your head with newspaper. It's called your. I don't know, your day ones or something. Whatever they're called. I don't remember what they're called. And you have to fill it with parcels, like packages. If you have a stop, then you have to put all your magazines. They're called your flats. And then you got your letters. So the whole. And they're in rubber bands. So if you miss a rubber band because everything is in order, that shit drops. I would drop the mail like crazy. I remember one time I went to the back of the mail truck to organize it, and I'm like, I gotta pee. And I had a cup. I brought me. I fucking pissed off the mail.

[Theo Vaughn]

Nah, you did. Dude, what the heck? What were you. What, you fucking just peeing on the mail?

[Jay Shock]

I felt so bad, but I was like. I couldn't control it. I just peed.

[Theo Vaughn]

Go to a park.

[Jay Shock]

We had a mail truck. There was no park. I was on the job.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, there's a park everywhere.

[Jay Shock]

There was pee on the mail, everywhere. On the packages, on the mail. Someone got a letter with yellow shit that day, man.

[Theo Vaughn]

Jay shock. You're not supposed to be peeing on people's mail. It's a federal offense.

[Jay Shock]

Not by accident.

[Theo Vaughn]

What do you mean you did it by accident?

[Jay Shock]

Spilled.

[Theo Vaughn]

But if you got your wiener out, bro, that's. You know what I'm saying?

[Jay Shock]

I'm not working with much, so I

[Theo Vaughn]

couldn't control it, but still, dude.

[Jay Shock]

So they fired me because they said. Not because of that. Not because of that.

[Theo Vaughn]

What'd they fire you for?

[Jay Shock]

They didn't open up the mail truck and just see piss everywhere, but because they said your hearing and vision are going to prohibit how you do this job. And we can't have someone like you.

[Theo Vaughn]

Them. Dude, nobody Even cares if they get the mail anyway. Dude, we had a guy that was in Tucson. We had a guy who would. Sometimes he would deliver the mail at like, 11:30 at night. He'd just run out and throw it in the fucking yard and scream at his fucking kid in front of our house and then drive off. He would floor it. We had a guy who souped up his mail card. He probably put, like a. He probably put an F350 engine in there or something that would hum, bro.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, my God.

[Theo Vaughn]

But. So you got laid off from the mail. How long were you. How long were you in the United Postal Service?

[Jay Shock]

Three. Three months. I got close. I started in winter, too. Theo. So I was in the. I was slipping on ice looking like Michael Jackson. Just dance.

[Theo Vaughn]

Moving on ice looking like Kevin. Just going across that pond and home alone.

[Jay Shock]

He's like, yeah, yeah. Literally. And it was hard. Really hard. A lot of.

[Theo Vaughn]

What was the hardest thing about the mail? That people don't know. What's something people don't understand?

[Jay Shock]

Just your relays and your routes. Like you. You'll have blocks sometimes, especially if you're going to walking routes, you have to do a push car. You don't get a truck. That's the first route I ever did. So I was in Port Washington, and they're like, you're not good here. And I'm like, give me one more chance. And they sent me to another town and that town. The first route I did was a walking route. And I had to walk 200 blocks. Yeah, that's a walking route. I had to push this thing with all mail and packages. Heavy. Was it heavy up and down this road? The route is supposed to take two hours. It took me nine.

[Theo Vaughn]

But how would you even push it? Were you able to. Did you ever think about just tying it around your waist and pulling it behind? You ever try that?

[Jay Shock]

No. You push it. You don't. You don't do that.

[Theo Vaughn]

Just muck it along.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. Mucking trucking.

[Theo Vaughn]

Damn.

[Jay Shock]

I wouldn't eat. Can't eat, barely.

[Theo Vaughn]

Would you ever just throw some of the mail out? Like it was just too ridiculous?

[Jay Shock]

No, no, couldn't do that. That's a federal offense.

[Theo Vaughn]

I'll piss on it. I'm not throwing it out, dude. I'll decorate it.

[Jay Shock]

I'll piss on it, but I won't throw it out.

[Theo Vaughn]

All right, we gotta get that.

[Jay Shock]

While I was doing all this, I was still doing social media, like, music. I was. I think I was doing food reviews, like, here and there in my car. And Then I finally got that, and then my dad's like, you gotta get another job. So I found this oil company, Petro Oil Company. I'm not going to name the specific job I was at, okay?

[Theo Vaughn]

And they do oil.

[Jay Shock]

They. They sell oil. So I was a credit representative, and I was making sure people get oil so they don't freeze that. So if you didn't have money. Yeah, you. You were going to freeze that night. And it was bad. It was sad. Like a little old lady. Like, I need oil. Chocolate. Give me some oil. Need oil. And shock o', clock, she's freezing. Like, I could. I could picture her in her. Her room, freezing. And I'm sitting there.

[Theo Vaughn]

Even my bra is cold. Yeah, my tits are so cold. It's shock o'. Clock.

[Jay Shock]

It was bad, man. But I was like a top salesman there.

[Theo Vaughn]

Come over. Bring over that little parrot wiener.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, my God.

[Theo Vaughn]

Sorry, this story's getting a little crazy.

[Jay Shock]

Dude, it was a call.

[Theo Vaughn]

What town was it called?

[Jay Shock]

Port.

[Theo Vaughn]

What?

[Jay Shock]

Huh?

[Theo Vaughn]

What town were you in?

[Jay Shock]

What town?

[Theo Vaughn]

Port. Washington. Where was it at?

[Jay Shock]

No, the oil company.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

I don't remember where it was. Woodbury.

[Theo Vaughn]

But what were it selling in New Jersey?

[Jay Shock]

New York.

[Theo Vaughn]

New York.

[Jay Shock]

So now I got some, like, crazy customers on the phone yelling at you all day. And at the time.

[Theo Vaughn]

So you're selling oil. You're up there selling oil by phone?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, my God.

[Jay Shock]

Literally, you got to collect money. You got to collect thousands of dollars to come.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I believe you. But it's just, what the fuck are you getting in for? You know what I'm saying? They just pulled all your teeth out, and now they got you selling oil by phone.

[Jay Shock]

Yep. And shooting threes and a psych ward.

[Theo Vaughn]

Let's go.

[Jay Shock]

But I was doing food reviews at the time, getting past 10,000, you know, growing my following in the mean. In the Miss Wall. But when I was training one of my best friends, Charles, he's like, so what do you do for fun? I'm like, oh, I have a social media page where I do food reviews. And he was like, we were talking about fast food. I'm like, I gotta get back into that. He's like, what, eating fast food? I'm like, no, do my food reviews. And he kind of, like, started me back up again. Like, I did, like, all those food reviews there. Like, just kind of got me back in the rhythm of posting. So thank you to him. And I would be, go on my lunch breaks, order food, do mukbangs.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, so you started mucking like that.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. But that was at Home Depot, too. I was doing it on all three jobs. I was producing music, you know, selling beats, making music for artists, and then eating food. The first ever video I did was prime the Drink.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

And I did a review on that.

[Theo Vaughn]

Can you bring that? Did you have a first video?

[Jay Shock]

Oh, this is the first mukbang I ever did.

[Theo Vaughn]

And. And so this is before Shock o' Clock and let's get to Muckin.

[Jay Shock]

Yes.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yes, it is. Okay, great. Let's watch it.

[Jay Shock]

Okay, first up, we got Tropical Punch Problem before. I love it. And let's give this one look. I got the Home Depot hat on,

[Theo Vaughn]

dude.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, my God. Really good. Tastes like a really good fruit punch. I have no teeth in coconut water in it.

[Theo Vaughn]

You don't need them.

[Jay Shock]

I have no teeth. Extremely nice.

[Theo Vaughn]

Dude. Who needs this one? That stuff probably strips your enamel anyway. That's just a rumor.

[Jay Shock]

Okay, next up, we got Minute Moon. Gonna shake. Always shake it. Always spank it. Let's prank it. I don't think I like this flavor. Oh, God.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, there's some bad ones out there. Yeah, dude, that's awesome, bro.

[Jay Shock]

But also, what you don't know is I did food reviews with no teeth. And everyone made this meme up gumming it down. Because when you take the teeth, I have no teeth. They said they made up gumming it down. So I did food reviews for over a year with no teeth.

[Theo Vaughn]

Well, that's.

[Jay Shock]

Who else is doing that?

[Theo Vaughn]

That's our health care system. What do you even expect? Half of America is doing that now, dude. But here's. Here's my. Here's. Here's my question for you. Is do you think it's easier to do a food review with or without teeth? Does one matter more than the other?

[Jay Shock]

Well, now I have all these fake teeth, and I say when I take the teeth out, I could chew it easier. Because when I'm chewing, this thing is, like, messing around, food getting behind it. It's just a freaking nightmare. I'm eventually going to get all new teeth from my doctors. I have, like, some of the best doctors. Dr. Kurtz, Dr. Ruggierio, Dr. Schwartz. They just great doctors. Dr. Barisi, like Lucarelli. They're great Dr. Italians, huh? Yeah, I guess. And they just. They know what they're doing. Like, they're dealing with, like, a lot of different equipment and, like, money for the procedure.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, shit. Yeah, Just put a fucking. Get a good calzone maker to put. You put your fucking.

[Jay Shock]

You know, stuff it up.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, get some. Just a little shingles of the Lord for some nice baby raviolis and put them in there, brother. That's all it is.

[Jay Shock]

At that oil job, I started doing POV videos.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay?

[Jay Shock]

And I would film my lunch break breaks, my nine to fives. And the first one I ever did, there was this guy named Hubs Life. Shout out to Hubs Life and shout out to Noe Marillo. They were the. They. They made this, you know, pov, right? Pov? You. Yeah. End up on a field, whatever. POV is point of view. So it gives you a perspective of what your life is like. So I saw this guy, Hubs Life, filming his 9 to 5, and I'm like, I'm gonna try one. Okay. I did it. 10 million views. Wow.

[Theo Vaughn]

So you just tried a POV and you got 10 million views on it.

[Jay Shock]

How much. How many views does this have?

[Theo Vaughn]

That's you, Sean.

[Jay Shock]

This has like 15, 14 million views, bro. That's it. Might even have more now. But look, I would film my whole routine.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, I like that jump at the end.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. Broke the Internet is athletic. Broke the earthquake.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, my gosh. You look like my friend's sister a

[Jay Shock]

little bit in this.

[Theo Vaughn]

That didn't even look like this.

[Jay Shock]

Isn't this relatable, Theo? Like, it's cold. You don't want to be at work.

[Theo Vaughn]

Work 100%.

[Jay Shock]

You get. You get an hour unpaid lunch break. Unpaid. That's what made me so relatable, was unpaid. Oh, Little food tray. I was in Ellie. My car.

[Theo Vaughn]

Ellie, would you always eat in the front seat or sometimes you'd eat in the back?

[Jay Shock]

Always front, huh? What? I have a chain around my. My.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, the chain's great. But is there something. Is there something weird about a guy eating in the back by himself?

[Jay Shock]

Probably. That's how you knew.

[Theo Vaughn]

I think it's okay to do it.

[Jay Shock]

These blew up. I did so many. I did so many of these that I was able to leave my job.

[Theo Vaughn]

So you're telling me that you were able to. So you did enough food reviews on your lunch break at work that you were able to quit your actual job?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. So I went into work one day and I had to use the bathroom, and I had to put myself in personal time, but I had to go into the bathroom. I really had to go. Like I was non stop. Stomach was effed up, and I said the fact that.

[Theo Vaughn]

What had you been eating? You think you remember?

[Jay Shock]

I don't remember what I ate. Probably some Italian food.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Too much ravioli.

[Theo Vaughn]

Some foreign shrimp or whatever.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. So I. I said the Fact that I have to send an email to use the bathroom to extend my bathroom time is enough to make me quit. So I would plug in this calculator how much I would need to leave, like money wise. Because I would go home and I would livestream eating. I would make like, you know, a couple hundred dollars for my salary for the week. So I called up my boy, I'm like, yo, I'm gonna quit. He'd like do it. So I got a garbage bag, I came out of the bathroom and I said, if I could find a box or something to put my stuff in, I'll leave. So this beautiful Spanish lady sitting out there with three big black hefty bags, I'm like, can I have one of those bags? I got all my shit, put it in there. And I left. And my manager called me back in. She's like, where are you going? I'm like, I'm done. She's like, well, I need you to sign something that says you left. She handed me a loose leaf. Theo. I signed it as Jay Shock. Cause I went in as Jerome and I left as Jay Shock. I get home, parents wanted to kill me. We're kick you out. We're going to get a job.

[Theo Vaughn]

Were you still living at home?

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, yeah, no, I'm out and about. Like I'm never there, but I was. Yeah, look, see, this is me twinning. I filmed it.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's crazy.

[Jay Shock]

But this is like a day after, right? Like this is when I had to come back and drop off all my shit.

[Theo Vaughn]

So take us on. How do you end up like, dude, thanks so much for your time too.

[Jay Shock]

Yes, sir. Thank you for having me.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, you bet, man. This is awesome. Dude, we have to. We'll have to keep in touch.

[Jay Shock]

I'm going to look you in the eyes for this one.

[Theo Vaughn]

Hey, no, no, look, I like that. Thank you, bro. No, no, look, I got the look back.

[Jay Shock]

Yes, sir.

[Theo Vaughn]

Do you taste. So take us, take us on. What is streamer you. And then how do you end up in. How do you audition for streamer you Take us first up for our listeners that don't know what is streamer you.

[Jay Shock]

So there's 7 million applicants, I believe maybe more or less around there. There was in person audition that didn't want to go to. And then there was online. We submit a video. I didn't want to go.

[Theo Vaughn]

You submit video to what?

[Jay Shock]

To the. To get into the school.

[Theo Vaughn]

And what is the school? I'm just saying, like it's a school

[Jay Shock]

full of content creators and Streamers.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay, got it.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah. It's run by Kai Senat and his team. And it's just a really crazy opportunity that could change your life, could change mine. And you learn about. It's a little school, it was in Arkansas this year, and you learn, like, different tactics on how to grow, how to get better equipment, how to learn about, like, how to deal with the stress. There was all different classes. Like, Lizzo was a teacher. Adaptation Ludwig. Like, there was all these cool teachers that are big content creators. And then you're surrounded by like 120 creators. So you're in a cafeteria, for example, with all streamers, eating lunch, and everyone's livestreaming.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, it seems crazy, bro. It seems like a bunch of people just trying to catch each other saying the N word is what it seems like.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, it's like all clip farming. But anyway, like, I wasn't gonna reply, Theo. Like, I filmed the shitty video. Cause I didn't care. And my boy Jacob, my editor, one of my best friends, was like, you gotta apply and you gotta try. So I filmed the video two days before Father's Day, edited it, and then we put it out, submitted it an hour before applications closed with my cameraman, my old cameraman, I fired him. And I saw that. I fired him at Schumer University. I don't want to get. I don't want to.

[Theo Vaughn]

We're not going to get into.

[Jay Shock]

But anyway, we're not going to get into him. We got in.

[Theo Vaughn]

You send the audition video in. How long is the audition video?

[Jay Shock]

How long was it? Yeah, a minute and a half.

[Theo Vaughn]

Let's. Let's watch it right now. We'll watch it right here. I'm streaming.

[Jay Shock]

I'm streaming. I gotta go, I gotta go. I gotta see a muffin. It's sh o'. Clock. Jarvis, take me to the best food spot on long Island. Yes, Mr. Shock. Would you like me to invite Sophie? Negative. Let Dean so that know I'm on the way. Hey, Dean. Tonight I'm J. Shock, and if I'm accepted, you know, I'm bringing pizza. Here's a few reasons why I should be accepted. Number one, I quit my job to do social media full time. And since then, I've grown my page to over 2 million followers and I'm not stopping. Mmm. So good. Number two. I never give up. Growing up, I went through a lot. Medically, physically, emotionally. And a lot of people told me I was never gonna be able to do what I wanted to do. And that's create content. You're too Small, you don't have the right look. Well, guess what? I'm doing it right now. Just over a couple years ago, I had to get corrective jaw surgery. They had to break my top and bottom jaw to realign it so I could get new teeth. I was doing food reviews with no teeth. I was gumming it down. After all that, I'm still mucking. And I'm gonna teach you guys how to muck. That sauce is crazy. And number three, just like these slices, I offer variety. I do food reviews, daily, gaming streams, and I've helped dozens of businesses across the country. Sometimes there's a line out the door. Thanks to you, Shock Squad. And oh yeah, that beat you heard throughout the whole video. I made that too.

[Theo Vaughn]

Shock Squad, right?

[Jay Shock]

And lastly, I want to bring food and streaming together like no one ever has. I'm ready to shock the world. Are you banging right?

[Theo Vaughn]

Dude, that's so perfect, bro. What a great video you made. And so what, what, what advice would you give to people who want to make a video? To submit for streamer.

[Jay Shock]

You have a good hook. The first two to three seconds gotta be very engaging. Gotta be something different. Gotta be something a little bit like relatable, a little bit sus. Like something that like sticks out and then you gotta have a good, like pacing. So like the flow of the video, like maybe like you doze off for like a little second, but like I engage with you. That whole video, I kept your attention. That's what's so important about content is you gotta remain retention. That's why when you're scrolling, these apps gotta keep you on your platform. But the longer you look at a video, the more the Instagram or TikTok will push that video in the algorithm, they like to see eyes being on something for longer, you know, so just. And be yourself, have fun with it.

[Theo Vaughn]

What do you want people to take away from your content?

[Jay Shock]

Just to be weird, you know, just have fun, be yourself, shock the world, you know, and just do what you love. Because I feel like everyone is unique and everyone's like, oh, you look different, you're different. You know, why don't you look like me? Why don't you have facial hair? Why are you so small? I'm like, because I'm unique. Everyone has a cool story to tell and you should monetize your life, you know, because me waking up in the morning brushing my teeth could be different than you, you know, me putting my shoes on. Some people can put a shoe on to no foot at all. Like me wearing different clothes and you in the morning. Like, everyone has some kind of uniqueness to them, you know, I like to say, like, let. I have a quote here. It's my yearbook quote for Streamer University.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, let's check it out.

[Jay Shock]

And I said, for the yearbook, I said, okay, ready? Don't let your disability define you. Use it as your ability to achieve greatness and shock the world.

[Theo Vaughn]

Amen, bro.

[Jay Shock]

Okay, that's real talk. Like, I never let my disabilities get into my head. Define me. I use them to my ability to achieve greatness. Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, man. Because we're all we have, you know, Our experiences are what we have, you know, they're the ingredients that make us, you know.

[Jay Shock]

And that radio, you know, getting accepted at 1:30am, I was streaming, and he called my name. Like, my reaction is insane.

[Theo Vaughn]

How so? What was that? You're just watching the announcements. And how many does he choose?

[Jay Shock]

121.

[Theo Vaughn]

Out of. How many?

[Jay Shock]

Out of 7 million. Isn't that crazy?

[Theo Vaughn]

Crazy.

[Jay Shock]

It changed my life. I want to be here talking to someone as amazing as you. If it wasn't for this opportunity by Kai, I mean, it's crazy. And while I was there, I was making so many viral moments. I was. Because people knew me, but they didn't. They're like, oh, this is what he does. This is the real side of him.

[Theo Vaughn]

Right.

[Jay Shock]

It was 247 live stream, and if you really think about it, remember when I was telling you when I was in the hospital and I thought people were watching me, live stream, recording me,

[Theo Vaughn]

and now they were full circle.

[Jay Shock]

It happened so bizarre. But this time it happened for real.

[Theo Vaughn]

Let's go.

[Jay Shock]

I mean, I think they could make a movie out of my life because it's so. It's crazy.

[Theo Vaughn]

Who would play you? Who would play you in the movie?

[Jay Shock]

You think I want to play myself?

[Theo Vaughn]

What if they won't allow it?

[Jay Shock]

Who do you think could play me? Nobody looks like me.

[Theo Vaughn]

Freddie Prince Jr. Maybe.

[Jay Shock]

Who's that? I got to see a picture.

[Theo Vaughn]

He might be. Told her now. Let me think.

[Jay Shock]

DJ Khaled, maybe.

[Theo Vaughn]

One of DJ Khaled's kids. Peter Manfredo Jr. Maybe. He was a boxer.

[Jay Shock]

I don't even know. Nobody really looks like me, you know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, you're right. I mean. Yeah, you're unique, so it would be hard. Yeah. I'm trying to think. But you have to have a kid. It has to be a child or one of those people. Yeah. Because you have to put, you know, that. To play you starting young. I don't know. Maybe I'm trying to think who else who could play you, man.

[Jay Shock]

Post Malone.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, Postal.

[Jay Shock]

He's got tattoos.

[Theo Vaughn]

What about United States Postal Malone?

[Jay Shock]

Get like a post office worker.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Maybe you could blame me, dude, I'd be honored.

[Jay Shock]

Just shave your head.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I'd shave my head. Shave my nuts.

[Jay Shock]

Get it? Jungle down there.

[Theo Vaughn]

I mean, it's not a jungle, but I'll say this. There's been a little bit of me. Oh, there's been a little reforestation probably. Yeah, I think they're probably. We probably need signs to know where the trails are. That's all I'm saying. How. How long does the streamer you last the actual university?

[Jay Shock]

Five days.

[Theo Vaughn]

I think it's five days. And you guys are all put up on this campus wherever you are. And do you actually graduate?

[Jay Shock]

I wasn't really a graduation ceremony. No. It's half the people that go to classes.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, really?

[Jay Shock]

No, I went to every class. It was because I wanted to learn. But, like, there was like an award ceremony and when. And there was like all these different activities and clubs. Like, it was. It was like a real school. It was crazy. Yeah, it was really cool.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's so cool.

[Jay Shock]

You know, and the fact that people, like, live stream it 247 people watch me sleep at night.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. And those people should be investigated.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

You know, watching somebody else sleep.

[Jay Shock]

Imagine I started, like, cranking it.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, yeah.

[Jay Shock]

Would have been terrible if you were

[Theo Vaughn]

somebody, like, who sleep like.

[Jay Shock]

Or sleep walk or sleep eat or sleep jerk. Or sleep like, with another girl. Like, that would have been like, I would have forgot to turn the camera off.

[Theo Vaughn]

Or sleep fat.

[Jay Shock]

Would you say sleep jerk?

[Theo Vaughn]

Sleep fat. If you just. Somebody's masturbating in their sleep. People do that all the time. My uncle used to jerk off in his sleep and they had to tie Jingle Bells on his wrist so you'd hear him when he was doing it.

[Jay Shock]

I don't even. I don't do any of that shit, bro. I just work out.

[Theo Vaughn]

It's heartbreaking. Well, if you do, I got a set of bills you can wear. If you do just. You know what I'm saying? You know, because.

[Jay Shock]

Unbelievable.

[Theo Vaughn]

You got to take care, you know, Say you just got to let people around, you know what's going on, I think. But that's just who I am. Do you feel pressure now? I know you do. You do mukbangs. I want to talk to you about that in just a second. You do mucking.

[Jay Shock]

Yes, sir.

[Theo Vaughn]

Right. You do content. I know you make music.

[Jay Shock]

Oh, yeah. You're coming out too.

[Theo Vaughn]

You do next week. You got a new song coming out next week.

[Jay Shock]

You want to hear it?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. Do you have it here?

[Jay Shock]

I have it. So I'm. I produced the beat. My engineer, sand of sands of mind, he helped me engineer it, and then I did the vocals.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay.

[Jay Shock]

That's really good.

[Theo Vaughn]

What's it called?

[Jay Shock]

Just let it go.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh,

[Jay Shock]

be honest all right. Maybe I could get you to stay But I know you won't want to leave the thought of me in your bed the thought of me in your head Is all you ever needed yeah, yeah, baby, let it go Let it all go Let you true for the show yeah, yeah Let it go, baby let it. Can't do this. You like it?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, bro. This is you and who else? Anybody else? Play the beginning again, bro.

[Jay Shock]

That was it. That was it.

[Theo Vaughn]

Let's go.

[Jay Shock]

Let me. Let me play you one more. Okay, one more real quick, because I want. I want to see what you like about it. I promise, dude.

[Theo Vaughn]

And thanks for just saying, like. Do you like this? I like it.

[Jay Shock]

I want you to tell me which one you like better.

[Theo Vaughn]

Okay. Yeah. That's some Rufus horns back there, bro.

[Jay Shock]

What do you think it sounds like? What artist?

[Theo Vaughn]

Meek Mill.

[Jay Shock]

Meek Mill? Little young boy.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, maybe

[Jay Shock]

now people say, like, Juicero. I sound like Juicero a little bit.

[Theo Vaughn]

Really?

[Jay Shock]

Sketch said that.

[Theo Vaughn]

Those horns in the back, bro, that reminds me a little bit of Rufus. Pull it down. I like. I like the first one better, but is it really okay if I told you that? Yeah, I don't care.

[Jay Shock]

I like both of them.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, I like both of them.

[Jay Shock]

Thank you, sir.

[Theo Vaughn]

But the first one I feel like. Hit me better.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah, it feels like a summer vibe, right?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. And this one, I do like that you have more vocals in it.

[Jay Shock]

Yeah.

[Theo Vaughn]

So I get to hear you more so that. Those are the two things. I like the first one better overall for me. And the second one, I like the fact that I get to hear you more.

[Jay Shock]

I'll send you the. The link when it drops.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, bro.

[Jay Shock]

Will you bump it in the car?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, dude, I'll share it. I'll put it on my hearing aids. You know what I'm saying?

[Jay Shock]

Dude, Bro, are you put headphones on a parrot.

[Theo Vaughn]

This, this, this, this, this, this, this,

[Jay Shock]

and then tap the wrist. You got to wear a watch.

[Theo Vaughn]

I gotta get one. You do. You do mukbangs, too? There's something about and for mukbang and people who don't know what is, it's eating food.

[Jay Shock]

We didn't even Eat the food.

[Theo Vaughn]

It's enjoying food.

[Jay Shock]

I brought food. We didn't eat it. Do a mukbang.

[Theo Vaughn]

I'll have to find one to do with you in la, then I'm down. Okay. Because I know I want to do something to be a part of what you're doing. I just don't know if I have time to. Because I have to leave at 4pm

[Jay Shock]

what's your favorite food to do to eat so we can do a mukbang on it?

[Theo Vaughn]

Let me think about that. Let me think about that. But I know you do mukbangs, which is eating stuff. There's something about the way you eat, bro. It's just. Damn. Some of it's just so romantic, bro. Like some of you. What is it? But God, you finish on a bite sometimes and it's just like, oh, oh. The way you kind of like, it's like watching the Notebook. I feel like, like some of it is just. I feel like I'm watching like some like scenes from Twilight or something. Like sometimes the way you finish on.

[Jay Shock]

Go to that, go to that fruit one above this or the fruit one. It's hidden. Yeah, that one. Look at these. Either fruits. Oh, and I'm really, I'm really devouring that.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, that's damn mucking on it. Oh, that'll make you. Oh, yeah. You could sell some of this so good footage to some CEOs over there in Washington D.C. i tell you, now

[Jay Shock]

that I have teeth, I could really enjoy the food.

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, how different is it?

[Jay Shock]

It's because the whole difference. Think of your palate is right here. So when you're eating, I used to have to chew everything in the back right? Now it's coming right here.

[Theo Vaughn]

What would you say to somebody? So you're doing streaming, you're doing mucking, you're doing a lot of stuff, right? Do you feel a lot of pressure? Like I heard you say earlier? Like, you know, we were talking about a story. You had to get a video up, but it's like, do you feel a lot of pressure to do everything? Do you find that something works best for you? And how do you. How are you going to navigate this? How and how are you navigating this space that you're in right now? Because it's a little bit different now.

[Jay Shock]

It's different because I'm streaming more and it's like people are looking for that stream. People are always like, when is he dropping a new mukin video? When is he going live? So it's like you have to have Good time management, which is something I kind of struggle with. Like, I don't have a good morning routine because I go to bed at like 4 or 5, because I'm doing this and wake up at like, you know, 10, 11.

[Theo Vaughn]

Do you have a body pillow or anything like that?

[Jay Shock]

A body. What do you mean?

[Theo Vaughn]

I'm just trying to think of something that could help you sleep at night.

[Jay Shock]

I don't know, punch me in the face, knock me out.

[Theo Vaughn]

That's crazy, dude. That's crazy. I mean, maybe. I mean, yeah, I was gonna think I could maybe get you a body pillow or a fucking. Like a. Just an Italian.

[Jay Shock]

Something like that.

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah, like an Italian bassinet or something.

[Jay Shock]

You need a good team, you know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah.

[Jay Shock]

I have my boy Danny, I have my boy Jacob. We're like edit together. Have someone get you on a schedule. And that's something that. The best thing that came out of Streamru was learning more about myself and my ego and other people's egos and how to react about certain situations. And it taught me, like, the right road. Obedience, like how to, like, learn about your, like, how to control yourself, you know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Oh, so you talking about how to

[Jay Shock]

tolerate yourself, how to tolerate yourself, like how to. How to manage how you could feel, how you could track what you're doing and just go out through life and be good, you know? So basically what I learned is like, I have to be able to make content stream and also be happy at the same time. That's the hardest thing is you can't ever really find happiness, but you could try to find peace. Because if you. If you. If you're happy, there's also sadness. But when you're at peace, you're even with everything, you know? And that's what I want to find, eventually, peace. But through all of this, I want to. I want to get so big that I could have, like, inspiration medically on people. Like, I want to. I want to be able to send out a tweet, like, hey, are there any good doctors out there that could help give kids better eyesight or better hearing? And I want to bring them all together and come up with cures for that. Like, I want to have that influencer. Have the influence. Like, you could have an influence, but a lot of influencers talk about, like, cars and money and shit like that. I want to have an influence medically on people and help save lives and help come up with cures and medicines and really expand on that because I struggled seeing and hearing my whole life. And kids deal with the Same thing. So let's. Let's try to do that. Let's get to that point.

[Theo Vaughn]

Well, look, man, I see you. I hear you. And I also want you to, like, you know, just from an outsider's perspective. You don't have to do a ton, bro, to make us love you. You know what I'm saying? Like, just keep being you. I don't think you. If there's a day where you're like, I don't know if I'm gonna get a video up or like a week or something. I'm not saying you do, but don't.

[Jay Shock]

I know. I don't.

[Theo Vaughn]

Don't feel too much pressure, bro.

[Jay Shock]

I've developed, like, anxiety and depression like that, and I try to, like, ignore it, but it's there. Yeah, but I think I have never been so happy. It's not even about the money or, like the new opportunities. It's about the satisfaction of. I worked my freaking ass off and I finally did it. I finally. I manifested this shit. I became obsessed with the process.

[Theo Vaughn]

Manicotti fasting for results.

[Jay Shock]

Becoming obsessed with the process is manifestation. Amen. Manifestation. Becoming obsessed with the result is being greedy. You got to be obsessed with the process, the little moments, the little thing that happened, how you got here. It's fun. Enjoy the journey, my boy. Clips said, enjoy the little moments, you know?

[Theo Vaughn]

Yeah. And that's what the clips are, which is interesting, you know, Jay Shock, dude, thanks so much, bro, for coming and hanging out. Here's what I'll do is if we. Even if we can't get to do a mukbang. I know, because I'm. I just. I have to be at this flight at 4:00pm yeah. But I'll come and stream with you or something.

[Jay Shock]

[Theo Vaughn]

[Jay Shock]

We could do it in the car.

[Theo Vaughn]

We could. We could stream in the car.

[Jay Shock]

Well, we could do the mukbang in the car and then stream, like around wherever you want.

[Theo Vaughn]

Well, I would love to at least get to stream. I have to look in a mukbang and I've just never done it.

[Jay Shock]

We could do a live mukbang in the car and record it at the same time.
