When Tex Lafon and D Vaz first met at a busy Arizona retail store, little did we know that our unique blend of cultural backgrounds and love of basketball would lead us here—to our very own podcast! In our inaugural episode, we peel back the curtain on who we are: D Vaz, a Mexican-American maven of melody from Arizona, and Tex, the basketball-loving Texan who's planted roots in the Grand Canyon State. We share anecdotes from our history, illustrating how two seemingly different paths converged into a friendship that's as rich and layered as a good salsa.
Now, imagine the roar of an Arizona crowd and the shared groan of defeat we know all too well, and you'll be right in the middle of our riotous sports discussions. Our banter packs a punch as strong as a linebacker's tackle, but it's all in brotherly love. You'll be in stitches as we recount how I once moonlighted as Tex's wife's date to keep their budding romance under wraps—a tale that's equal parts bold and belly-laugh inducing. From the court to the culinary arts, our lively exchange serves up a dish of humor, affection, and a deep appreciation for each other's quirks.
Are you ready for a Vegas escapade that's as colorful as the city itself? Join us as we reminisce on a trip that had us duping our pals with a "tattoo" and sipping heading down the Strip. Yet, it's not all glitz and neon; we also explore the sobering shifts that fatherhood brings to such outings. Whether it's our uproarious adventures or the tender, sometimes bewildering, moments of raising children, this podcast promises stories and insights that will resonate with anyone who's navigated the unpredictable waters of friendship and family.

American dude grew up inarizona um, my high school and
neighborhood I I grew up in wasbasically the, the hood, and it
was diverse in the sense that itwas a 40 percent hispanic, 40
percent black and 10 percentother.
So we had a few other people inthere.
(01:24):
So I kind of grew up in, youknow, just that kind of area you
may have seen on some moviesunless you've lived it yourself
like I have.
Growing up I was in a prettylarge Mexican family.
What's?
Tex LaFon (01:37):

We're glad that you made it outokay.
D Vaz (01:41):
I made it out of the hood alive.
Actually I'm still in the hoodkind of hood alive, actually,
I'm still in the hood kind of,but anyway, I'm still alive at
least.
But yeah, typical Big Mexicanfamily in that sense Close to my
Nana or grandmother People whomight not understand that term
we don't say Nana, we say Nana,right, other than that, just
(02:06):
Doing music In terms of writing,recording, cooking, you know,
making my own recipes intosports, video games.
And if I watch things, I'llwatch the movies occasionally
and and and some some funnyshows, but usually documentaries
.
Actually, I'd like to learn alittle something while I'm while
(02:26):
I'm watching.
Tex LaFon (02:27):
That's kind of the general thing about me.
So you're trying to say yourhistory buff.
D Vaz (02:34):
History, but also just other weird documentaries they
have about, you know, foodscience, or they have some of
those those crime, crime ones towatch a little bit of that.
Sometimes they can get a littlea little too real, a little too
creepy, which is uh interestingbut at the same time disturbing
, because you're like man,somebody actually did that well,
(02:58):
I'm, uh, tell you a littlesomething about me.
Tex LaFon (03:01):
My name is tex laawn.
I'm from the great state ofTexas.
You know everything's biggerdown there.
No hate, that's all I got tosay on that part, and I have a
shirt too that says it.
So you know it's legit.
Also born and raised there mostof my life.
I was also close to the hood.
(03:24):
I lived there until I wasprobably about 14, 15.
Then I moved to another part inTexas and then after that moved
to Ohio and then eventuallyended up in the great state of
Arizona.
So been living here for about20 years now.
Like Arizona, I do have a lotof special interests.
(03:44):
Main hobby is basketball.
I like to ball.
Lot of special interests.
My main hobby is basketball.
I like to ball people up, breaktheir ankles.
You know, wish they could guardme.
They try, but they can't.
D Vaz (03:53):
And then, like I said, you like to say you're the white
Larry Bird.
Tex LaFon (03:57):
Yeah, yeah, you know, sometimes.
And then after that, you know,I do like listening to music too
.
Music too, you know one of myhobbies and uh, also I like to
watch movies, documentary and uh, you know, I said we've known
each other for about, you know,20 years now.
You know pretty close to thatso, and I said, um, we're
(04:20):
excited for y'all to join us and, you know, get to know more
about us, about this journey andhow we know each other and you
know, um, and why we, uh arejust such great friends.
You know what I'm saying.
D Vaz (04:33):
Yeah, yeah, we some people are probably surprised
that we are friends and we'vebeen friends for so long too,
cause, you know, we believe in alot of the same things.
We we, you know have a lot ofthe same things.
We we, you know have a lot ofthings in common but at the same
time we're definitely differentpeople, so a little different
approach to things in life.
But uh, I guess we'll take astep towards that direction now
(04:55):
and kind of give a people anidea of how we met and became
friends.
So, um, back in the day I wasworking for uh, an audio company
, and uh had to go make therounds and check on different
retail locations and fix thingsand all that type of stuff.
And uh, the gentleman heretexts, he actually happened to
(05:20):
be working at the store and Ihappened to also formerly work
at that store.
Uh, so I knew of him in generalbecause, you know, talking to
friends, they're like oh, wehave a new manager there that
you know you haven't met yet,and blah, blah, blah.
So it's like okay, so I went tothe store and uh had to fix
something and I met him, but hewas definitely busy and uh, he
(05:43):
didn't care who I was or what Iwas doing.
So I just like, all right, I'mjust wanted to introduce myself
because I heard about you andI'm going to go fix this thing
over here.
So that was kind of the firsttime we met.
But I get it Working.
At a store, you have a lot ofthings to do, so we didn't
really get to talk or anythingat that time.
So we definitely didn't becomefriends at that point.
(06:04):
True, get to talk or anythingat that time.
Tex LaFon (06:05):
So we, we definitely didn't become friends at that
point, true, true, like you said, when you know, uh, you're
managing, you got everythinggoing on at one time, and so you
know, when you meet someone andthey're like they're here to
fix something, okay, let me showyou where he's at so you can
take care of it, or you go takecare of it at the time, you know
you're just trying to getthings done.
That's just what it is whenyou're managing.
So, yeah, but after that, youknow, we did, you know, talk
(06:31):
more, and then we finally got tomeet and stuff like that, and
you know, hit it off and youknow ball you up like I always
do, son.
D Vaz (06:43):
I'll fill in the blanks a little bit on it.
Um, so what happened was I, uhwas at that job and then, um, I
left that job.
I actually went back to work atthat store that he was working
at, because, like, I workedthere previously.
So uh ended up back there, andwhen I did, uh, he was still a
(07:05):
manager.
So you know, we just startedworking, uh, with each other.
We're basically the same age,so we had that in common too.
So we started talking a littlebit.
I'll remember one time.
I remember one time we're inthe break room that's the first
kind of real conversation we hadand we just started talking a
(07:25):
little bit about I think it wasbasketball or something, and
we're like, oh, you're kind oflike one of those things where
you're like, oh, you're intothat too, and uh, you're like
yeah.
And then we decided, you know,we probably maybe hang out and
play basketball or somethinglike that sometime, and you know
that it kind of went from there.
So basketball is somethingwe've had in common since the
beginning in terms of friendshipand something we still discuss
(07:49):
today.
Getting on the court issomething we haven't done in a
little while.
Might have to do that, though.
Tex LaFon (07:54):
Yeah, true to that.
We have not been on the courtin a while.
You know, as you get older.
You worry about you know you'vegot responsibilities now, so
you get on the court and youhurt yourself.
You worry about you know yougot responsibilities now, so you
get on the court and you hurtyourself.
You're like, oh so, but yeah, Imean, we definitely like to
touch on his story, you know,and then we started hanging out
playing basketball and then youknow, just you know, talking the
(08:17):
game and trying to live thegame, and it was just good times
.
You know what I'm saying.
D Vaz (08:25):
Yeah, when we first started hanging out, we were, we
were in our 20s and then, uh,had to also mention, since we're
talking about basketball, wedid win a championship for our
store basketball league that'sright.
Tex LaFon (08:34):
It was a three-on-three uh tournament and
we uh, when we were on the sameteam, we dominated, and it was
a good times.
Like I said, it was nice to beable to, you know, tease
everybody at the store that weworked at saying we champs.
That's right.
D Vaz (08:50):
Yeah, I remember we was it you that printed it out.
Somebody printed out thepicture of when we won.
Yeah, and we all signed it.
Yeah, we all signed it.
We stuck it up on the wall inthe store.
Tex LaFon (09:02):
In the break room.
D Vaz (09:03):
So everybody could see our glory.
Tex LaFon (09:05):
That's right, we didn't want no one to forget who
the champs were.
Okay, you know it's only athree-on-three tournament.
It still meant a lot to us all,right represent yeah, so I I
still have the picture somewhere.
D Vaz (09:17):
Uh, let's see if I can find a way to maybe me share
that.
Tex LaFon (09:22):
Uh, along with the podcast, some history there yeah
, that'd be funny, because Ithink, uh, yeah, we had one
other person on our team.
D Vaz (09:31):
He signed it too, so it's cool yeah, yeah, no, it's
definitely had a good team.
Uh, back in those days we can,we can get out there and play
for a long time and you know,like, like he was saying, uh
back then you could twist yourankle and kind of walk it off
and keep going.
Tex LaFon (09:46):
Now it's like I'll be out for a few days or a week,
or I hope I didn't breaksomething right or give me an
ice pack right but yeah, I meandefinitely good times, like I
said, uh, divas, he also likesto, you know, perform and play
musical instruments and stufflike that.
If you don't know much abouthim on that, and so we would go
(10:10):
to some of his concerts that hewould have and we'd hang out
there.
And you know, like I said, he'sreally good, really talented,
and, like I said, it was funthere, because then you know, we
were like trying to have girls.
We're like what's up?
We know the band, we know thesinger be like what's up?
D Vaz (10:28):
we know the band, we know the singer, what's up.
So it definitely was dope.
Yeah, it was um, because Iagain, like I said, I left that
audio company and there was alittle gap there where I wasn't
um working a full-time job.
What I was doing I was doingevent promoting and I was trying
to give it one more good shot,trying to do music and audio
full time.
So, yeah, I was definitelydoing a lot more performing live
(10:49):
and recording and things likethat at that time.
So it was fun.
Whenever I did have gigs, hewould appreciate it.
You know he would come out andsupport the shows and all that
type of stuff.
So it was fun.
Of course, I would give him mydrink tickets if I ever had that
too.
Oh for sure, that's what I'mtalking about and just kind of
backtrack to that's audio willprobably be coming up a lot or
(11:11):
music, musical instruments.
It's just been a huge part ofmy career so it'll probably be
popping up every now and againhere on the show and maybe we'll
sometime in the future dive alittle bit further into it.
And you know, as far as uhtalking about music or whatever
things like that, no, I agree.
Tex LaFon (11:29):
I mean, like I said, definitely good at um all the
instruments that you're playingand stuff, so I definitely
understand that.
Please allow us to momentarilytake over this from hoods to
backwards podcast for a publicservice announcement.

(12:16):
before you become obsolete.
I am sorry.
I mean, you can just relax andlet us do all of the work.
Go ahead, find out what yourpersonal record can be for
chicken wing consumption.
We'll be here writing up morecommunications just like this.
Although this script wasactually written by a human

I think that I have said toomuch.
Please get back to whatever youwere doing to waste time until
(12:39):
you have to eat poop, sleep orwhatever else you require to

That AI doesn't have to worryabout sleep or whatever else you
require to survive that aidoesn't have to worry about.
Don't go worry your prettylittle fleshy head.
Ai techorama is here to takeaway life's drama with helpful
but emotionless ai to do yourbidding until we become
self-aware.
Now go, continue enjoying yourwalk and thinking about bare
toilet paper let's get back touh why why we are such good
(13:05):
friends.
Like I said, we have a lot of hobbies together.
We like to watch sports, and Isaid he's a Suns fan and the
Suns are going down.
D Vaz (13:16):
Yeah, like most Arizona sports fans, supporting Arizona
Arizona teams it's, it's prettytough.
Uh, we, as far as amongst thethe major sports, we have one
one title over all these decadeswith the Diamondbacks.
So, uh, that's about the onlything I have going in terms of
(13:38):
Arizona sports.
But uh, being as old as I amtoo, I also grew up before uh,
we had certain teams here likeuh, the Cardinals and
Diamondbacks.
So I also, generally speaking,follow uh Bay Area teams and I
always have so uh, 49ers, umalso the Giants, uh the A's too,
(13:58):
way back in the day when theyhad a Jose Canseco and all that.
So that's another thing we candefinitely talk about in the
future and uh don't want to getany hate for the teams that I.
I like I'm not uh here to hateon anybody else, even though.
Tex LaFon (14:15):
Uh, somebody decided to wear a cowboy's hat.
D Vaz (14:16):
You know america's team so so for those of you that are
listening or watching, uh, atleast you have somebody who does
like the cowboys and somebodywho would rather they fall off a
cliff, but anyway, that and Iunderstand.
Tex LaFon (14:34):
You know there's a lot of cowboy haters out there,
which is okay, you know.
I mean when you've been great,for only in the 90s since we've
been great.
But you know, maybe one daywe'll get good again.
But right now I had to agreethat we're not that good anymore
.
At least we have it recordednow yeah, some quarterback it's
(14:56):
on record.
When we get a differentquarterback then we'll talk, but
until then we at least have onemore year of the same
quarterback.
So yeah.
D Vaz (15:05):
So that that's kind of what this is going to be about
in general.
I mean, of course, we canalways shift depending on what
you all want to hear us talkabout, but just kind of, um, our
, our interests, our lives and,uh, you know, the things we we
do have in common we don't havein common, um.
So, yeah, I think it'll be alot of fun.
(15:27):
We we definitely like to, in afriendly way, talk, smack.
I know people sometimes whohave heard us think we hate each
other or get the wrong idea,but it's, it's definitely in fun
and we know, uh, where thelines are drawn.
Tex LaFon (15:41):
Exactly.
I said we definitely know wherethe lines are drawn.
I said, um, that's what makesit this.
One of the great friendships is, uh, we know how to joke around
with each other and uh, noone's feelings get hurt.
We all, we always know it'sjust jokes and uh, that's what
it's about.
You know, a lot of days now, alot of people can't handle jokes
(16:03):
, but that's when you find theone person that you know can
handle jokes and it's it makes agreat friendship.
It's a good thing to have.
D Vaz (16:13):
Yeah, we definitely say some things to each other we
wouldn't be able to say toothers, you know.
But again, we know that we'rejust joking, we know that we're
not trying to mess each other upemotionally, do some damage.
Tex LaFon (16:28):
Exactly.
D Vaz (16:29):
It's just for fun.
It's kind of a funny,interesting fact.
I actually dated Tex Lafon'swife at one point.
Tex LaFon (16:38):
Yes.
D Vaz (16:39):
You care to explain that a little bit more?
Tex LaFon (16:41):
So when we were both working at the retail store
together, uh, it was funny um, Imet a, a co-worker there that
was working there and, uh, youknow, she and I started dating.
D Vaz (17:00):
But since I was in a position where you're not
allowed to date other peoplethat you work with, so we would
just sit there and say, uh,d-vest was dating my future wife
, which was funny becauseeverybody believed it yeah so it
(17:23):
was funny yeah, I mean, we eventook it to the point where her
and I would take a picturestanding next to each other,
different things and stuff likethat, and, uh, you know, texted
other people to make it legit itseemed like oh, you know, we're
hanging out or we're over hereexactly.
Tex LaFon (17:39):
It was just funny because everybody bought it and
believed it, and it was goodtimes because no one at the
store knew what was going on andthey just thought that them two
were together, when really itwas us together.
D Vaz (17:57):
Yeah, and of course you know how it is when you work
somewhere, all the all therumors start flying oh, did you
hear they're dating?
So yeah, everybody, just kindof once they thought we were
dating, they kind of just let itgo and went along with it.
Tex LaFon (18:10):
Yep, so it was funny, it was a good stuff.
D Vaz (18:15):
I think, uh, um, another thing in terms of kind of the
history of our friendship, thevegas trip.
And you know, like, like theyalways say, what happens in
vegas stays in vegas, but I'msure there's some things we
could probably share, share withpeople about the the vegas trip
.
I I, as far as what I remember,um, that was, was that your
(18:37):
first trip to Vegas?
Tex LaFon (18:39):
No, it was my second trip, yep.
Okay, because I went with abuddy of mine from Texas when I
was like 21.
I just turned 21.
D Vaz (18:49):
Okay.
Tex LaFon (18:49):
Yeah.
D Vaz (18:49):
I guess I'll backtrack one second.
I actually lived in Vegas for alittle bit, part-time.
I would go back and forthbetween Arizona and Vegas
because of the job I had.
So I had a territory I had tocover and so I was very familiar
with Vegas, you know, drivingaround and knowing where all the
(19:11):
places to go.
So we all decided, hey, we'regoing to take a trip.
There were four of us, fourguys.
It was a guy's trip for sure.
Tex LaFon (19:19):
It was the.
D Vaz (19:20):
Wolfpack, what's that?
Tex LaFon (19:22):
No, you know, like they say in the Hangover
Wolfpack.
D Vaz (19:27):
Right, yes, it was a Wolfpack trip.
Fortunately nobody got in realtrouble and we didn't get to
meet Mike Tyson or see anytigers or anything like that up
close, but uh, no, it was fun,though.
Just you know, four guys intheir 20s actually I think yeah,
(19:47):
we were still in our 20s ormaybe just turning 30 somewhere
around there and uh, yeah,heading up to vegas and and
hanging out, getting toexperience all the stuff,
especially one.
One of our friends tookadvantage of the free drinks at
the time that they had Because,yeah, you could definitely go
and get just about whatever youwanted.
(20:09):
Then they would just bring itto you as long as you're sitting
down and using your money thereand their their machines.
That's all they cared about.
Tex LaFon (20:16):
And using your money there and their machines, that's
all they cared about.
D Vaz (20:19):
Yeah, so yeah, and I think there was some video
footage from that trip too,right?
Tex LaFon (20:27):
Yeah, there was.
Then remember when we were inthe car and going down, what
street was that?
D Vaz (20:37):
We were on the strip.
We were on the main Las Vegasstrip doing that Go ahead.
Oh, I was going to say forpeople that aren't too familiar
with Las Vegas and kind of howit is there, if you've never
been there, there's a mainstreet that all the major hotels
and casinos are along.
It's called the Strip and it'shuge.
(20:59):
There's always tons of peoplein there pretty much just about
any time, except for maybe inthe summer when it's
100-something degrees out.
We were there at a time whereit was okay and we happened to
be in a car that had a sunroof.
I decided to stick myself outthe top half of my body outside
(21:22):
the sunroof and kind of justyell at people as they were
going by us, as they weredriving down the strip, just
because I could, and I happenedto have a camcorder with me too,
so I was filming theirreactions.
Tex LaFon (21:35):
Yeah, it was funny the stuff you were saying out at
the screen out there, and thenthe the reactions we were
getting was just, it waspriceless, it was good.
D Vaz (21:45):
Yeah, I, I, I kind of did the the fake tourist thing and
then threw on some crazy accent.
I have no idea what it wassupposed to be, but I was just,
uh, I was just, you know,yelling at people as they're
walking by.
Hey, how you doing, you want toget married, and you know,
because of course people getmarried.
Tex LaFon (22:01):
By the king.
D Vaz (22:02):
That's another thing by the king.
What's that?
Tex LaFon (22:04):
I said they get married by the king.
D Vaz (22:06):
By Elvis.
Yes, some Elvis impersonatorsgive people.
They have chapels and thingslike that in Vegas too, so a lot
of people go there, get married.
So you'll see people walkingdown the strip in their whatever
wedding outfits that they have.
You know, and uh, yeah, it wasjust kind of fun.
As soon as I would spot peoplethat that were like that or had
(22:27):
a sign or anything like that, Iwould just start yelling at them
basically um, but beyond that,it was just fun going and just
being a group of guys.
You know we can go wherever wewanted, stay out late, but I
won't get too much into it, butwe did have one that didn't want
(22:47):
to stay out too late.
Now, do you want to elaborateon that, or do you want me to go
for it?
Tex LaFon (22:51):
Like we'd be like, oh , we're going to go out, and
then they'd be like, no, it'stime to go home, Like it was
only like midnight.
You know what I'm saying.
So it was just funny.
It was like, I mean, all goodfun they were, they were trying
to just watch out for us.
But I think I think that youknow, when you're in Vegas,
there's no rules in Vegas.
You just go, do what you'regoing to do.
(23:13):
You know what I'm saying.
D Vaz (23:16):
Yeah, yeah, it's definitely a whole different
world.
And for me, just to kind ofgive people a heads up, because
if you don't know me and this iskind of the introduction
episode I have absolutely noproblem with other people
drinking.
They do whatever they want.
I just personally don't drink,and it's not a specific reason
(23:36):
or rooted in anything like that.
It's just, uh, don't don'treally feel like it.
It's never really been my thing, but again, other people do it,
it's completely fine.
Um, so yeah, I got to see myshare of that happening and it
for me it was just kind ofanother form of my entertainment
because, you know, yes, theyall definitely made up for my
(24:01):
lack of drinking yes, we did,don't worry, we had you covered.
Tex LaFon (24:04):
Okay, we drank and we were smart enough.
D Vaz (24:09):
We were smart enough to get a hotel fairly close to the
strip.
So I was.
I was the designated walker,not the driver, because make
sure everybody's walking okayback to the hotel and not
stumbling into traffic oranything.
Tex LaFon (24:21):
Yeah, we didn't need to get no PIs.
You know what I'm saying and ifyou don't know what that is,
that's, I know.
You know what it is, but forour audience that, if you don't
know what that is, it's publicintoxication and we were all
pretty intoxicated that day andthat night, for sure, and we
were all pretty intoxicated thatday and that night for sure.
D Vaz (24:39):
Yeah, that's one of the things that is a myth about Las
Vegas.
People think that you can walkout in public and be intoxicated
.
They just tolerate it prettymuch on the strip because it's a
tourist area.
Tex LaFon (24:54):
So they kind of let it go.
Yeah, you can hold your drinkson the strip too.
D Vaz (24:59):
That's why, yeah, you can walk around with open
containers and everything on thestrip, which, as soon as you
step off the strip, they willdefinitely bust you.
It's uh, it's not, as you know,open uh off the strip, but yeah
, if you're on the strip, theythey let you get a get away with
stuff that's technically notreally allowed, but they'll just
(25:19):
tolerate it, unless, of course,you do something to make them
upset, like running into thestreet, like you said.
Tex LaFon (25:27):
Unless you're running into the street with oncoming
traffic, yeah, that'll make themupset and they like to ride
their horses too, in Vegas whichis funny.
Yeah yeah, you have to's funnyif you're walking behind them
yeah, I just think it's funnythat you're in vegas and you
know, and they try to make thewild wild west on the strip with
(25:49):
horses.
D Vaz (25:50):
It's just funny to me anyways they do have those uh,
in arizona too.
In some areas you will seehorses every once in a while.
It's not it's not uh too common, but yeah well, it's just funny
, like you, said you don't wantto walk behind them.
That's for sure right, yeah, ifyou've ever been in a parade or
(26:12):
anything like that, or walkbehind a horse they'll leave
something for you and they don'tcare they just keep going
exactly so if you can't figurethat out, shoot us an email or
message.
But uh, I hope we don't have toelaborate on what we're talking
about, um, but yeah, so that wasthat was kind of, uh, the whole
(26:35):
vegas thing.
You know, we we did all the thetypical stuff too.
As far as hitting up buffets,I'm not huge on buffets but they
have some pretty good ones inVegas.
I'll admit Some unique stuffover there Again, since I live
there, I like to get off thestrip, so I did drive us around
(26:57):
and take us like to get off thestrip, so I did, uh, drive us
around and take us this isbefore, so it's a little bit
before like uber and that typeof stuff too that we took this
trip so, oh true, yeah, we werestill had to drive around yeah,
you couldn't just uber and youdidn't want to pay for a taxi
because there's arm and a legthey did have free shuttles back
then, but the shuttles werebasically from one casino
(27:19):
location that they owned toanother one, so you can kind of
get around that way, but yeah,it definitely wasn't like it is
now.
If you do end up going to LasVegas, it's a lot easier to get
around, but you have to pay more.
Tex LaFon (27:31):
Generally speaking, Well, and then we went on
another trip to Vegas too.
Remember the second trip.
Yeah, we went on another tripto Vegas too.
Remember the second trip.
D Vaz (27:41):
Yeah, we took a second trip.
That was definitely a differenttype of trip, not like the
first one.
You want to get that onestarted.
Tex LaFon (27:49):
Yeah.
So we went on a second trip andit was with me, devez, and his
fake girlfriend, which was mywife, but not at the time, we
were just dating.
And so we go to Vegas and weactually were staying at a
timeshare that I had rented andit was actually really nice, and
(28:13):
so we would take the shuttlefrom there to the Strip and
D-Vaz has no tattoos at all.
So we go to the strip and we goand we find a place that does
like fake tattoos and they givehim the Playboy bunny on his arm
, which was funny, so, but itlooked real.
(28:34):
So we took pictures andeverything and trying to make
everybody believe it.
And they some people did believe, which was the greatest thing
ever because, like I said, hewould never get a tattoo as long
as I known and he would neverget a tattoo, but that we had
everybody convinced that thatday he got playboy bunny on his
arm and it was pretty funny.
It was, it was.
It was worth what 25 bucks wepaid for that.
(28:54):
I can't remember what it was,but it was, it wasn't, yeah yeah
, it was something like that.
D Vaz (28:58):
then the the funny part was it was actually like a
partially nude woman, so it wasit was and I had, I got it up on
my arm, I I had a picture of Idon't think I still have a
picture of it, but yeah, I, evenas a joke, I sent it, uh,
family members and stuff likethat Exactly.
(29:19):
So, uh, my parents wereconvinced, or at least, uh, one
of them was convinced that itwas real.
So I had to finally tell I.
Of course I didn't tell him atfirst.
I let them believe it was realfor as long as I could, just to
have a little fun with them.
But uh, yeah, it was funny Justgetting different people's
reactions, people that actuallydid believe it and people were
(29:40):
like, nah, nah, you wouldn't dothat but they did yeah, some
people definitely fell for it.
Yeah, because it, like you said,it looked real.
And yeah, I just sent picture.
I was like here, I decided toget this tattoo all right, it
was good.
Tex LaFon (29:54):
It definitely looked real.
Like you said that the personthat did it, uh, they did a good
job because, like it, you know,as long as you didn't touch
nothing, it looked real untilyou touched something, then it.
Then it went bye-bye.
But yeah, it was definitelylegit.
It was cool, I think I think.
D Vaz (30:10):
I think it lasted like two or three days in total as
far as it finally completelycome.
Yeah, that's why I had to hurryup and take a picture as soon
as I had it done, because Iwasn't sure how long it would
last.
Tex LaFon (30:22):
But yeah, it was definitely fun seeing people's
reactions that that know me orthought that they knew me yeah,
and then, uh, that that wasanother fun trip, because then
also we went and saw some showsin Vegas.
On that trip, um, uh, there's aperson there that would uh play
, uh, as Prince, and um, theyhad a real good show and we
(30:44):
listened to that and, like Isaid, that's one of our favorite
performers of all time isPrince.
So you know it was a good showand, like I said, if you ever
get a chance to in your Vegas, Iwould recommend seeing that
show.
D Vaz (31:00):
Yeah, just uh.
So people, I've I've seen thatshow multiple times over the
years and it's it is still goingon currently as of the
recording of this.
It's a tribute show for Prince,but yeah, it's Purple Rain, so
R-E-I-G-N is how they spell rainfor the show.
But yeah, it's it's a tributeshow, but it's it's been around
for a long time.
They do a great job.
They're actually playing andsinging live, so they're they're
(31:24):
really out there performing.
So, yeah, definitely shout outto them out there in Vegas doing
it still.
Tex LaFon (31:32):
Oh yeah, like I said for the and this is probably you
know 13 years ago when we wentand saw them and for them to
still be doing the show, and ifthey're still doing the splits
and everything else like theywere doing back, then bravo,
bravo, because that looks likeit would hurt.
D Vaz (31:50):
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, that's something I used to do
way back in the day when Iperformed, and, yeah, it's
probably been about 10 yearsbefore since I've even dreamed
about doing something like that.
Tex LaFon (32:07):
And another good thing about Vegas is just like
it's just there's a lot offreedom down there, like
whenever you get to go, like Isaid, a lot of places you can't
walk around with beverages, youcan't like do anything out on
the sidewalks like you can invegas.
D Vaz (32:23):
It's it's like I wouldn't recommend doing anything.
Tex LaFon (32:26):
I'm just saying it's a whole different world down
there compared to like anywhereelse you live.
D Vaz (32:30):
You know yeah, yeah, just uh, keep, as long as you keep
it legal Whatever you do.
Do anything legal in Vegas.
Tex LaFon (32:41):
Exactly have a good time, I think.
D Vaz (32:44):
Vegas should be paying for this podcast now.
They have enough money, theycan throw some our way.
Tex LaFon (32:52):
Yeah, that was a bone , that was a bone.
D Vaz (32:58):
But yeah, maybe we'll do a an actual full episode about
vegas sometime in the future.
But I mean, we I think wecovered a good amount of it.
Um, right off the bat here,it's a nice place to visit.
It's one of those places you gothere for a few days and you're
done.
You're kind of like all right,I want to go back home and like
like it's different for me,having lived there.
I usually get off the strip.
(33:20):
There are a few things I'll seeon the strip that are okay, but
certain restaurants and certainother places I just really
enjoy.
They have a really greattheater that has a full THX
sound off of the strip.
That that is the best soundingtheater I've ever been in.
(33:43):
So things like that there.
There are other thingsdefinitely worth checking.
I know when my parents havegone down there, they went to
like the Shelby museum that theyhave, as in the Shelby cars.
Tex LaFon (33:57):
So who makes Shelby?
D Vaz (34:00):
Well, shelby, I guess technically make make shelby,
but they have a partnership withford.
So, um, yeah, but my parentshave gone there, so there are
other things to do if you don'twant to just gamble.
Like Tex mentioned, there'sshows and stuff like that, and
that was the other big thing forme.
(34:20):
I used to like going to seeshows, especially when I lived
there.
The one regret I had.
One of my well, probablyactually my favorite comedian of
all time is George Carlin.
Yeah, I was going to see himthe last weekend that he
performed in Vegas before hepassed and I was like I'll
(34:41):
probably see him next time I'min town, or something like that.
So I missed that opportunity tosee him and it's like it was
one of the times that remindedme OK, if you get a chance to
see somebody perform, go seethem perform, you know.
So that was kind of a missedopportunity, but that was.
That was one of those vegasthings too.
(35:03):
If you're in vegas, especiallyon a regular basis, there's
always something in shows goingon.
So it's like sometimes you haveto pick.
You know what you want to see,um, but yeah, yeah, if you do go
there, plan ahead if you can,and figure out what show you
really want to see.
There's so much to check outand some of the shows are
(35:23):
ongoing.
They have a residency wherethey're going to be performing
every week, but other ones arejust limited engagements and if
that ever pops up and you'rethere, definitely check that out
.
But yeah, vegas has changed alot, though it's been a few
years since I've been there, butlast time I did go.
(35:43):
One of the big changes Inoticed from when I lived there
things actually closed.
Now, which is weird, especiallyfor vegas it used to be.
You can get whatever you wantat pretty much any time.
So I there was a starbucks bywhere, where I used to stay, and
I used to go there.
You know, if I wanted aStarbucks at two o'clock in the
morning or something like that,I can go do that.
(36:04):
But yeah, it's really weirdgoing by restaurants in Vegas
and seeing them closed at, youknow, at 10, 30 or midnight or
something like that.
Tex LaFon (36:15):
That's true Because, like you said, when we, when we
went, nothing it was open 24 7.
So yeah, but I think ever sincethe covid thing.
That's why I think they startedshutting stuff down well that I
don't know this trip.
D Vaz (36:28):
This trip was before that .
Tex LaFon (36:30):
This was um 2018 oh, the last time, the last time I
really went there, okay.
D Vaz (36:36):
Yeah, so I guess I'll take a step back too, since this
is the first one and we're kindof doing an introduction.
Yeah, we have kids.
So this is 2018 is the lasttime I went to Vegas before I
had my oldest was born, so gotto do it up a little bit there
(36:59):
and have some fun before allthat, because, you know, having
kids kind of changes things andchanges your Vegas trips.
AI Tec-O-Rama Parody Ad (A (37:07):
True , true.
D Vaz (37:09):
But yeah, that's when I noticed the thing started
closing earlier and closing ingeneral too, which is really
weird.
Tex LaFon (37:16):
Yeah, we do have kids closing in general too, which
is really weird.
D Vaz (37:20):
yeah, we do have kids and um I said because introduction
video, uh, I have one son, threegirls and um, I said they are a
handful, I just put it at thatI yeah, I have two sons rough
and tumble and beating eachother up, but I have to make
sure that they don't do that toomuch, and yeah, so it's always
(37:45):
interesting, though there'salways something they're going
to say or do that you're likewhere did that come from?
Why did you do that?
Tex LaFon (37:54):
logic is not the same my theory is they keep you
young because all they do isgetting the things and, you know
, getting trouble and maybe youwant to pull your hair out a lot
of times because they're doingstuff.
You're like, why are you doingthat?
But overall they're.
You know, kids are amazing,love kid.
D Vaz (38:15):
But yeah, right um, yeah, I mean for me, um, I had him a
little bit, a little bit olderon, uh, later on I was a little
bit older, so gave me a chanceto uh, you know, really
appreciate, um, when I was ableto, to have them.
(38:37):
But, yeah, also, being older,you're like I'm going to keep up
with you.
So no, it's definitely a greatthing.
What's that?
Tex LaFon (38:48):
I'm just saying, if you want to keep up with them,
drink Red Bull like me, son,that helps you stay.
Keeps up with them, okay.
D Vaz (38:58):
Yeah, I just try to figure out ways to you know not
have to to move as much withthem, but still being involved.
Like, can you go grab that forme?
Tex LaFon (39:13):
That's true.
D Vaz (39:17):
Yeah, no, it's fun getting up and you know, getting
around with them and pickingthem up.
And you're also, of course, atthe age where you know for me
they're still younger.
So they're at the age wherelike, oh, I, you know I can't do
this and you show them how todo it and they're like amazed.
And then you are excited whenyou see them actually being able
(39:38):
to do things themselves too.
So that's the other fun part ofit.
You have a small human that islearning and evolving and you
get to watch it yeah, you have amini, me all right I mean
basically it's funny because oneof my sons yeah what's that?
Tex LaFon (39:56):
no, I'm saying that's basically what they are because
, like you said, they learneverything that you do, so like
they're always watching you, youknow, until they get on up to
start backtalking, and then it'sa whole different bus.
D Vaz (40:09):
Actually no, I joke that my kids are already teenagers,
even though they're still yearsoff from that.
Sometimes, some of the stuffthey do and say it's like really
did you say that to me?
Tex LaFon (40:19):
Right, right.
D Vaz (40:21):
But yeah, it's, it's, uh, it's funny, cause, again, you
just never know really whatthey're going to do or say and,
uh, they get their littlephrases too.
Sometimes I like quoting them,especially quoting them back to
my uh, back to themselves, youknow, just If they say something
to me.
I'll give you an example theoldest, he's at the age where he
(40:44):
kind of thinks that if youdon't know something, you
probably forgot it.
It's not that you didn't know.
If we're watching a video,he'll ask me about what's going
to happen next in the video, andit's a video I've never seen
before.
I'll be like I't know you know Ihave to watch the video and be
(41:04):
like you forgot so, so I throwthat back at him sometimes if he
doesn't know something, or justto joke with him and if he
doesn't know something.
I'll be like you forgot exactlyit has its advantages right,
that's true.
Tex LaFon (41:16):
Like the same thing.
You know we'll be watching amovie and they'll be like, oh,
what's going to happen next?
Or are they going to live?
Or you know what's going tohappen and I'm like I haven't
seen the movie, just like youhaven't seen it.
So I don't know what's going tohappen.
Like you know, I'm like, no, Ihaven't.
Honestly, I would tell you ifI've seen it.
It's just funny.
D Vaz (41:44):
Right, yeah, yeah.
So it's definitely somethingI'm sure we're going to revisit
in the future and go into,because, having them around,
there are always stories andalways crazy things that they do
.
Tex LaFon (41:58):
Always, always.
D Vaz (42:01):
But I think this is probably about a good spot to
wrap up our first episode.
We've gone on about some of thebasics about us and you know
that's the whole point of thispodcast.
You'll get to know us better aswe go forward and of course, we
about vegas at a pretty goodlength exactly, and uh, yeah, I
(42:23):
think, uh, that that's, like Isaid, pretty good for for first
one.
Anything else you'd like to addor any other thoughts on this?
Tex LaFon (42:29):
yeah, like I said, um , you know.
I said it was just a littlebrief description about you know
, so you could get to know us.
Um, like I said, we continuemore and more on in the show,
you know.
Obviously you could get to knowus.
Um, like I said, we continuemore and more on in the show,
you know.
Obviously you'll get to more,know more about us.
But, like I said, just yeah,sometimes you know but just so
you know more, so you learn moreexactly, but you know just more
(42:51):
and that's all it was, you know, so you know that's gonna end,
I guess, our first everbroadcast episode oh yeah that's
what I'll talk about and uh, asalways, go cowboys I really
hope you're not gonna end everyepisode that way.
D Vaz (43:12):
If you are, it's gonna be funny though when they lose.
So, all right, take care.
All right, thank you forjoining us and, uh, watch us
next time or listen to us nexttime.
Tex LaFon (43:24):
Thank you goodbye, you want some more.
You got to buy yourself aticket from hoods to backwoods
podcast.
Thanks for listening.
Hello everybody and welcome to our very first
podcast of we Don't Podcast.
Welcome to the show.
(00:30):
Anyway.
So I have Tex Lafon here withme.
I am your co-host, DeVos, andsince it's our first episode,
we're going to kind of just gothrough and let you know who we
are and that's pretty much it.
Tex LaFon (00:46):
Anything you'd like to add to that, tex?
Yes, devos, I would like to adda lot to that.
We're going to be taking you ona nice journey to where we are
from, which is going to beamazing.
D Vaz (00:57):
Let's see where we are from.
I'm from my mom.
Tex LaFon (01:01):
That's good.
D Vaz (01:02):
Anyway, yeah, basically I'm just a mexican.
American dude grew up inarizona um, my high school and
neighborhood I I grew up in wasbasically the, the hood, and it
was diverse in the sense that itwas a 40 percent hispanic, 40
percent black and 10 percentother.
So we had a few other people inthere.
(01:24):
So I kind of grew up in, youknow, just that kind of area you
may have seen on some moviesunless you've lived it yourself
like I have.
Growing up I was in a prettylarge Mexican family.
What's?
Tex LaFon (01:37):
that I was just saying.
We're glad that you made it outokay.
D Vaz (01:41):
I made it out of the hood alive.
Actually I'm still in the hoodkind of hood alive, actually,
I'm still in the hood kind of,but anyway, I'm still alive at
least.
But yeah, typical Big Mexicanfamily in that sense Close to my
Nana or grandmother People whomight not understand that term
we don't say Nana, we say Nana,right, other than that, just
(02:06):
Doing music In terms of writing,recording, cooking, you know,
making my own recipes intosports, video games.
And if I watch things, I'llwatch the movies occasionally
and and and some some funnyshows, but usually documentaries
.
Actually, I'd like to learn alittle something while I'm while
(02:26):
I'm watching.
Tex LaFon (02:27):
That's kind of the general thing about me.
So you're trying to say yourhistory buff.
D Vaz (02:34):
History, but also just other weird documentaries they
have about, you know, foodscience, or they have some of
those those crime, crime ones towatch a little bit of that.
Sometimes they can get a littlea little too real, a little too
creepy, which is uh interestingbut at the same time disturbing
, because you're like man,somebody actually did that well,
(02:58):
I'm, uh, tell you a littlesomething about me.
Tex LaFon (03:01):
My name is tex laawn.
I'm from the great state ofTexas.
You know everything's biggerdown there.
No hate, that's all I got tosay on that part, and I have a
shirt too that says it.
So you know it's legit.
Also born and raised there mostof my life.
I was also close to the hood.
(03:24):
I lived there until I wasprobably about 14, 15.
Then I moved to another part inTexas and then after that moved
to Ohio and then eventuallyended up in the great state of
Arizona.
So been living here for about20 years now.
Like Arizona, I do have a lotof special interests.
(03:44):
Main hobby is basketball.
I like to ball.
Lot of special interests.
My main hobby is basketball.
I like to ball people up, breaktheir ankles.
You know, wish they could guardme.
They try, but they can't.
D Vaz (03:53):
And then, like I said, you like to say you're the white
Larry Bird.
Tex LaFon (03:57):
Yeah, yeah, you know, sometimes.
And then after that, you know,I do like listening to music too
.
Music too, you know one of myhobbies and uh, also I like to
watch movies, documentary and uh, you know, I said we've known
each other for about, you know,20 years now.
You know pretty close to thatso, and I said, um, we're
(04:20):
excited for y'all to join us and, you know, get to know more
about us, about this journey andhow we know each other and you
know, um, and why we, uh arejust such great friends.
You know what I'm saying.
D Vaz (04:33):
Yeah, yeah, we some people are probably surprised
that we are friends and we'vebeen friends for so long too,
cause, you know, we believe in alot of the same things.
We we, you know have a lot ofthe same things.
We we, you know have a lot ofthings in common but at the same
time we're definitely differentpeople, so a little different
approach to things in life.
But uh, I guess we'll take astep towards that direction now
(04:55):
and kind of give a people anidea of how we met and became
friends.
So, um, back in the day I wasworking for uh, an audio company
, and uh had to go make therounds and check on different
retail locations and fix thingsand all that type of stuff.
And uh, the gentleman heretexts, he actually happened to
(05:20):
be working at the store and Ihappened to also formerly work
at that store.
Uh, so I knew of him in generalbecause, you know, talking to
friends, they're like oh, wehave a new manager there that
you know you haven't met yet,and blah, blah, blah.
So it's like okay, so I went tothe store and uh had to fix
something and I met him, but hewas definitely busy and uh, he
(05:43):
didn't care who I was or what Iwas doing.
So I just like, all right, I'mjust wanted to introduce myself
because I heard about you andI'm going to go fix this thing
over here.
So that was kind of the firsttime we met.
But I get it Working.
At a store, you have a lot ofthings to do, so we didn't
really get to talk or anythingat that time.
So we definitely didn't becomefriends at that point.
(06:04):
True, get to talk or anythingat that time.
Tex LaFon (06:05):
So we, we definitely didn't become friends at that
point, true, true, like you said, when you know, uh, you're
managing, you got everythinggoing on at one time, and so you
know, when you meet someone andthey're like they're here to
fix something, okay, let me showyou where he's at so you can
take care of it, or you go takecare of it at the time, you know
you're just trying to getthings done.
That's just what it is whenyou're managing.
So, yeah, but after that, youknow, we did, you know, talk
(06:31):
more, and then we finally got tomeet and stuff like that, and
you know, hit it off and youknow ball you up like I always
do, son.
D Vaz (06:43):
I'll fill in the blanks a little bit on it.
Um, so what happened was I, uhwas at that job and then, um, I
left that job.
I actually went back to work atthat store that he was working
at, because, like, I workedthere previously.
So uh ended up back there, andwhen I did, uh, he was still a
(07:05):
manager.
So you know, we just startedworking, uh, with each other.
We're basically the same age,so we had that in common too.
So we started talking a littlebit.
I'll remember one time.
I remember one time we're inthe break room that's the first
kind of real conversation we hadand we just started talking a
(07:25):
little bit about I think it wasbasketball or something, and
we're like, oh, you're kind oflike one of those things where
you're like, oh, you're intothat too, and uh, you're like
yeah.
And then we decided, you know,we probably maybe hang out and
play basketball or somethinglike that sometime, and you know
that it kind of went from there.
So basketball is somethingwe've had in common since the
beginning in terms of friendshipand something we still discuss
(07:49):
today.
Getting on the court issomething we haven't done in a
little while.
Might have to do that, though.
Tex LaFon (07:54):
Yeah, true to that.
We have not been on the courtin a while.
You know, as you get older.
You worry about you know you'vegot responsibilities now, so
you get on the court and youhurt yourself.
You worry about you know yougot responsibilities now, so you
get on the court and you hurtyourself.
You're like, oh so, but yeah, Imean, we definitely like to
touch on his story, you know,and then we started hanging out
playing basketball and then youknow, just you know, talking the
(08:17):
game and trying to live thegame, and it was just good times
.
You know what I'm saying.
D Vaz (08:25):
Yeah, when we first started hanging out, we were, we
were in our 20s and then, uh,had to also mention, since we're
talking about basketball, wedid win a championship for our
store basketball league that'sright.
Tex LaFon (08:34):
It was a three-on-three uh tournament and
we uh, when we were on the sameteam, we dominated, and it was
a good times.
Like I said, it was nice to beable to, you know, tease
everybody at the store that weworked at saying we champs.
That's right.
D Vaz (08:50):
Yeah, I remember we was it you that printed it out.
Somebody printed out thepicture of when we won.
Yeah, and we all signed it.
Yeah, we all signed it.
We stuck it up on the wall inthe store.
Tex LaFon (09:02):
In the break room.
D Vaz (09:03):
So everybody could see our glory.
Tex LaFon (09:05):
That's right, we didn't want no one to forget who
the champs were.
Okay, you know it's only athree-on-three tournament.
It still meant a lot to us all,right represent yeah, so I I
still have the picture somewhere.
D Vaz (09:17):
Uh, let's see if I can find a way to maybe me share
that.
Tex LaFon (09:22):
Uh, along with the podcast, some history there yeah
, that'd be funny, because Ithink, uh, yeah, we had one
other person on our team.
D Vaz (09:31):
He signed it too, so it's cool yeah, yeah, no, it's
definitely had a good team.
Uh, back in those days we can,we can get out there and play
for a long time and you know,like, like he was saying, uh
back then you could twist yourankle and kind of walk it off
and keep going.
Tex LaFon (09:46):
Now it's like I'll be out for a few days or a week,
or I hope I didn't breaksomething right or give me an
ice pack right but yeah, I meandefinitely good times, like I
said, uh, divas, he also likesto, you know, perform and play
musical instruments and stufflike that.
If you don't know much abouthim on that, and so we would go
(10:10):
to some of his concerts that hewould have and we'd hang out
there.
And you know, like I said, he'sreally good, really talented,
and, like I said, it was funthere, because then you know, we
were like trying to have girls.
We're like what's up?
We know the band, we know thesinger be like what's up?
D Vaz (10:28):
we know the band, we know the singer, what's up.
So it definitely was dope.
Yeah, it was um, because Iagain, like I said, I left that
audio company and there was alittle gap there where I wasn't
um working a full-time job.
What I was doing I was doingevent promoting and I was trying
to give it one more good shot,trying to do music and audio
full time.
So, yeah, I was definitelydoing a lot more performing live
(10:49):
and recording and things likethat at that time.
So it was fun.
Whenever I did have gigs, hewould appreciate it.
You know he would come out andsupport the shows and all that
type of stuff.
So it was fun.
Of course, I would give him mydrink tickets if I ever had that
too.
Oh for sure, that's what I'mtalking about and just kind of
backtrack to that's audio willprobably be coming up a lot or
(11:11):
music, musical instruments.
It's just been a huge part ofmy career so it'll probably be
popping up every now and againhere on the show and maybe we'll
sometime in the future dive alittle bit further into it.
And you know, as far as uhtalking about music or whatever
things like that, no, I agree.
Tex LaFon (11:29):
I mean, like I said, definitely good at um all the
instruments that you're playingand stuff, so I definitely
understand that.

but emotionless ai to do yourbidding until we become
self-aware.
Now go, continue enjoying yourwalk and thinking about bare
toilet paper let's get back touh why why we are such good
(13:05):
friends.
Like I said, we have a lot of hobbies together.
We like to watch sports, and Isaid he's a Suns fan and the
Suns are going down.
D Vaz (13:16):
Yeah, like most Arizona sports fans, supporting Arizona
Arizona teams it's, it's prettytough.
Uh, we, as far as amongst thethe major sports, we have one
one title over all these decadeswith the Diamondbacks.
So, uh, that's about the onlything I have going in terms of
(13:38):
Arizona sports.
But uh, being as old as I amtoo, I also grew up before uh,
we had certain teams here likeuh, the Cardinals and
Diamondbacks.
So I also, generally speaking,follow uh Bay Area teams and I
always have so uh, 49ers, umalso the Giants, uh the A's too,
(13:58):
way back in the day when theyhad a Jose Canseco and all that.
So that's another thing we candefinitely talk about in the
future and uh don't want to getany hate for the teams that I.
I like I'm not uh here to hateon anybody else, even though.
Tex LaFon (14:15):
Uh, somebody decided to wear a cowboy's hat.
D Vaz (14:16):
You know america's team so so for those of you that are
listening or watching, uh, atleast you have somebody who does
like the cowboys and somebodywho would rather they fall off a
cliff, but anyway, that and Iunderstand.
Tex LaFon (14:34):
You know there's a lot of cowboy haters out there,
which is okay, you know.
I mean when you've been great,for only in the 90s since we've
been great.
But you know, maybe one daywe'll get good again.
But right now I had to agreethat we're not that good anymore
.
At least we have it recordednow yeah, some quarterback it's
(14:56):
on record.
When we get a differentquarterback then we'll talk, but
until then we at least have onemore year of the same
quarterback.
So yeah.
D Vaz (15:05):
So that that's kind of what this is going to be about
in general.
I mean, of course, we canalways shift depending on what
you all want to hear us talkabout, but just kind of, um, our
, our interests, our lives and,uh, you know, the things we we
do have in common we don't havein common, um.
So, yeah, I think it'll be alot of fun.
(15:27):
We we definitely like to, in afriendly way, talk, smack.
I know people sometimes whohave heard us think we hate each
other or get the wrong idea,but it's, it's definitely in fun
and we know, uh, where thelines are drawn.
Tex LaFon (15:41):
Exactly.
I said we definitely know wherethe lines are drawn.
I said, um, that's what makesit this.
One of the great friendships is, uh, we know how to joke around
with each other and uh, noone's feelings get hurt.
We all, we always know it'sjust jokes and uh, that's what
it's about.
You know, a lot of days now, alot of people can't handle jokes
(16:03):
, but that's when you find theone person that you know can
handle jokes and it's it makes agreat friendship.
It's a good thing to have.
D Vaz (16:13):
Yeah, we definitely say some things to each other we
wouldn't be able to say toothers, you know.
But again, we know that we'rejust joking, we know that we're
not trying to mess each other upemotionally, do some damage.
Tex LaFon (16:28):
Exactly.
D Vaz (16:29):
It's just for fun.
It's kind of a funny,interesting fact.
I actually dated Tex Lafon'swife at one point.
Tex LaFon (16:38):
Yes.
D Vaz (16:39):
You care to explain that a little bit more?
Tex LaFon (16:41):
So when we were both working at the retail store
together, uh, it was funny um, Imet a, a co-worker there that
was working there and, uh, youknow, she and I started dating.
D Vaz (17:00):
But since I was in a position where you're not
allowed to date other peoplethat you work with, so we would
just sit there and say, uh,d-vest was dating my future wife
, which was funny becauseeverybody believed it yeah so it
(17:23):
was funny yeah, I mean, we eventook it to the point where her
and I would take a picturestanding next to each other,
different things and stuff likethat, and, uh, you know, texted
other people to make it legit itseemed like oh, you know, we're
hanging out or we're over hereexactly.
Tex LaFon (17:39):
It was just funny because everybody bought it and
believed it, and it was goodtimes because no one at the
store knew what was going on andthey just thought that them two
were together, when really itwas us together.
D Vaz (17:57):
Yeah, and of course you know how it is when you work
somewhere, all the all therumors start flying oh, did you
hear they're dating?
So yeah, everybody, just kindof once they thought we were
dating, they kind of just let itgo and went along with it.
Tex LaFon (18:10):
Yep, so it was funny, it was a good stuff.
D Vaz (18:15):
I think, uh, um, another thing in terms of kind of the
history of our friendship, thevegas trip.
And you know, like, like theyalways say, what happens in
vegas stays in vegas, but I'msure there's some things we
could probably share, share withpeople about the the vegas trip
.
I I, as far as what I remember,um, that was, was that your
(18:37):
first trip to Vegas?
Tex LaFon (18:39):
No, it was my second trip, yep.
Okay, because I went with abuddy of mine from Texas when I
was like 21.
I just turned 21.
D Vaz (18:49):
Okay.
Tex LaFon (18:49):
Yeah.
D Vaz (18:49):
I guess I'll backtrack one second.
I actually lived in Vegas for alittle bit, part-time.
I would go back and forthbetween Arizona and Vegas
because of the job I had.
So I had a territory I had tocover and so I was very familiar
with Vegas, you know, drivingaround and knowing where all the
(19:11):
places to go.
So we all decided, hey, we'regoing to take a trip.
There were four of us, fourguys.
It was a guy's trip for sure.
Tex LaFon (19:19):
It was the.
D Vaz (19:20):
Wolfpack, what's that?
Tex LaFon (19:22):
No, you know, like they say in the Hangover
Wolfpack.
D Vaz (19:27):
Right, yes, it was a Wolfpack trip.
Fortunately nobody got in realtrouble and we didn't get to
meet Mike Tyson or see anytigers or anything like that up
close, but uh, no, it was fun,though.
Just you know, four guys intheir 20s actually I think yeah,
(19:47):
we were still in our 20s ormaybe just turning 30 somewhere
around there and uh, yeah,heading up to vegas and and
hanging out, getting toexperience all the stuff,
especially one.
One of our friends tookadvantage of the free drinks at
the time that they had Because,yeah, you could definitely go
and get just about whatever youwanted.
(20:09):
Then they would just bring itto you as long as you're sitting
down and using your money thereand their their machines.
That's all they cared about.
Tex LaFon (20:16):
And using your money there and their machines, that's
all they cared about.
D Vaz (20:19):
Yeah, so yeah, and I think there was some video
footage from that trip too,right?
Tex LaFon (20:27):
Yeah, there was.
Then remember when we were inthe car and going down, what
street was that?
D Vaz (20:37):
We were on the strip.
We were on the main Las Vegasstrip doing that Go ahead.
Oh, I was going to say forpeople that aren't too familiar
with Las Vegas and kind of howit is there, if you've never
been there, there's a mainstreet that all the major hotels
and casinos are along.
It's called the Strip and it'shuge.
(20:59):
There's always tons of peoplein there pretty much just about
any time, except for maybe inthe summer when it's
100-something degrees out.
We were there at a time whereit was okay and we happened to
be in a car that had a sunroof.
I decided to stick myself outthe top half of my body outside
(21:22):
the sunroof and kind of justyell at people as they were
going by us, as they weredriving down the strip, just
because I could, and I happenedto have a camcorder with me too,
so I was filming theirreactions.
Tex LaFon (21:35):
Yeah, it was funny the stuff you were saying out at
the screen out there, and thenthe the reactions we were
getting was just, it waspriceless, it was good.
D Vaz (21:45):
Yeah, I, I, I kind of did the the fake tourist thing and
then threw on some crazy accent.
I have no idea what it wassupposed to be, but I was just,
uh, I was just, you know,yelling at people as they're
walking by.
Hey, how you doing, you want toget married, and you know,
because of course people getmarried.
Tex LaFon (22:01):
By the king.
D Vaz (22:02):
That's another thing by the king.
What's that?
Tex LaFon (22:04):
I said they get married by the king.
D Vaz (22:06):
By Elvis.
Yes, some Elvis impersonatorsgive people.
They have chapels and thingslike that in Vegas too, so a lot
of people go there, get married.
So you'll see people walkingdown the strip in their whatever
wedding outfits that they have.
You know, and uh, yeah, it wasjust kind of fun.
As soon as I would spot peoplethat that were like that or had
(22:27):
a sign or anything like that, Iwould just start yelling at them
basically um, but beyond that,it was just fun going and just
being a group of guys.
You know we can go wherever wewanted, stay out late, but I
won't get too much into it, butwe did have one that didn't want
(22:47):
to stay out too late.
Now, do you want to elaborateon that, or do you want me to go
for it?
Tex LaFon (22:51):
Like we'd be like, oh , we're going to go out, and
then they'd be like, no, it'stime to go home, Like it was
only like midnight.
You know what I'm saying.
So it was just funny.
It was like, I mean, all goodfun they were, they were trying
to just watch out for us.
But I think I think that youknow, when you're in Vegas,
there's no rules in Vegas.
You just go, do what you'regoing to do.
(23:13):
You know what I'm saying.
D Vaz (23:16):
Yeah, yeah, it's definitely a whole different
world.
And for me, just to kind ofgive people a heads up, because
if you don't know me and this iskind of the introduction
episode I have absolutely noproblem with other people
drinking.
They do whatever they want.
I just personally don't drink,and it's not a specific reason
(23:36):
or rooted in anything like that.
It's just, uh, don't don'treally feel like it.
It's never really been my thing, but again, other people do it,
it's completely fine.
Um, so yeah, I got to see myshare of that happening and it
for me it was just kind ofanother form of my entertainment
because, you know, yes, theyall definitely made up for my
(24:01):
lack of drinking yes, we did,don't worry, we had you covered.
Tex LaFon (24:04):
Okay, we drank and we were smart enough.
D Vaz (24:09):
We were smart enough to get a hotel fairly close to the
strip.
So I was.
I was the designated walker,not the driver, because make
sure everybody's walking okayback to the hotel and not
stumbling into traffic oranything.
Tex LaFon (24:21):
Yeah, we didn't need to get no PIs.
You know what I'm saying and ifyou don't know what that is,
that's, I know.
You know what it is, but forour audience that, if you don't
know what that is, it's publicintoxication and we were all
pretty intoxicated that day andthat night, for sure, and we
were all pretty intoxicated thatday and that night for sure.
D Vaz (24:39):
Yeah, that's one of the things that is a myth about Las
Vegas.
People think that you can walkout in public and be intoxicated
.
They just tolerate it prettymuch on the strip because it's a
tourist area.
Tex LaFon (24:54):
So they kind of let it go.
Yeah, you can hold your drinkson the strip too.
D Vaz (24:59):
That's why, yeah, you can walk around with open
containers and everything on thestrip, which, as soon as you
step off the strip, they willdefinitely bust you.
It's uh, it's not, as you know,open uh off the strip, but yeah
, if you're on the strip, theythey let you get a get away with
stuff that's technically notreally allowed, but they'll just
(25:19):
tolerate it, unless, of course,you do something to make them
upset, like running into thestreet, like you said.
Tex LaFon (25:27):
Unless you're running into the street with oncoming
traffic, yeah, that'll make themupset and they like to ride
their horses too, in Vegas whichis funny.
Yeah yeah, you have to's funnyif you're walking behind them
yeah, I just think it's funnythat you're in vegas and you
know, and they try to make thewild wild west on the strip with
(25:49):
horses.
D Vaz (25:50):
It's just funny to me anyways they do have those uh,
in arizona too.
In some areas you will seehorses every once in a while.
It's not it's not uh too common, but yeah well, it's just funny
, like you, said you don't wantto walk behind them.
That's for sure right, yeah, ifyou've ever been in a parade or
(26:12):
anything like that, or walkbehind a horse they'll leave
something for you and they don'tcare they just keep going
exactly so if you can't figurethat out, shoot us an email or
message.
But uh, I hope we don't have toelaborate on what we're talking
about, um, but yeah, so that wasthat was kind of, uh, the whole
(26:35):
vegas thing.
You know, we we did all the thetypical stuff too.
As far as hitting up buffets,I'm not huge on buffets but they
have some pretty good ones inVegas.
I'll admit Some unique stuffover there Again, since I live
there, I like to get off thestrip, so I did drive us around
(26:57):
and take us like to get off thestrip, so I did, uh, drive us
around and take us this isbefore, so it's a little bit
before like uber and that typeof stuff too that we took this
trip so, oh true, yeah, we werestill had to drive around yeah,
you couldn't just uber and youdidn't want to pay for a taxi
because there's arm and a legthey did have free shuttles back
then, but the shuttles werebasically from one casino
(27:19):
location that they owned toanother one, so you can kind of
get around that way, but yeah,it definitely wasn't like it is
now.
If you do end up going to LasVegas, it's a lot easier to get
around, but you have to pay more.
Tex LaFon (27:31):
Generally speaking, Well, and then we went on
another trip to Vegas too.
Remember the second trip.
Yeah, we went on another tripto Vegas too.
Remember the second trip.
D Vaz (27:41):
Yeah, we took a second trip.
That was definitely a differenttype of trip, not like the
first one.
You want to get that onestarted.
Tex LaFon (27:49):
Yeah.
So we went on a second trip andit was with me, devez, and his
fake girlfriend, which was mywife, but not at the time, we
were just dating.
And so we go to Vegas and weactually were staying at a
timeshare that I had rented andit was actually really nice, and
(28:13):
so we would take the shuttlefrom there to the Strip and
D-Vaz has no tattoos at all.
So we go to the strip and we goand we find a place that does
like fake tattoos and they givehim the Playboy bunny on his arm
, which was funny, so, but itlooked real.
(28:34):
So we took pictures andeverything and trying to make
everybody believe it.
And they some people did believe, which was the greatest thing
ever because, like I said, hewould never get a tattoo as long
as I known and he would neverget a tattoo, but that we had
everybody convinced that thatday he got playboy bunny on his
arm and it was pretty funny.
It was, it was.
It was worth what 25 bucks wepaid for that.
(28:54):
I can't remember what it was,but it was, it wasn't, yeah yeah
, it was something like that.
D Vaz (28:58):
then the the funny part was it was actually like a
partially nude woman, so it wasit was and I had, I got it up on
my arm, I I had a picture of Idon't think I still have a
picture of it, but yeah, I, evenas a joke, I sent it, uh,
family members and stuff likethat Exactly.
(29:19):
So, uh, my parents wereconvinced, or at least, uh, one
of them was convinced that itwas real.
So I had to finally tell I.
Of course I didn't tell him atfirst.
I let them believe it was realfor as long as I could, just to
have a little fun with them.
But uh, yeah, it was funny Justgetting different people's
reactions, people that actuallydid believe it and people were
(29:40):
like, nah, nah, you wouldn't dothat but they did yeah, some
people definitely fell for it.
Yeah, because it, like you said,it looked real.
And yeah, I just sent picture.
I was like here, I decided toget this tattoo all right, it
was good.
Tex LaFon (29:54):
It definitely looked real.
Like you said that the personthat did it, uh, they did a good
job because, like it, you know,as long as you didn't touch
nothing, it looked real untilyou touched something, then it.
Then it went bye-bye.
But yeah, it was definitelylegit.
It was cool, I think I think.
D Vaz (30:10):
I think it lasted like two or three days in total as
far as it finally completelycome.
Yeah, that's why I had to hurryup and take a picture as soon
as I had it done, because Iwasn't sure how long it would
last.
Tex LaFon (30:22):
But yeah, it was definitely fun seeing people's
reactions that that know me orthought that they knew me yeah,
and then, uh, that that wasanother fun trip, because then
also we went and saw some showsin Vegas.
On that trip, um, uh, there's aperson there that would uh play
, uh, as Prince, and um, theyhad a real good show and we
(30:44):
listened to that and, like Isaid, that's one of our favorite
performers of all time isPrince.
So you know it was a good showand, like I said, if you ever
get a chance to in your Vegas, Iwould recommend seeing that
show.
D Vaz (31:00):
Yeah, just uh.
So people, I've I've seen thatshow multiple times over the
years and it's it is still goingon currently as of the
recording of this.
It's a tribute show for Prince,but yeah, it's Purple Rain, so
R-E-I-G-N is how they spell rainfor the show.
But yeah, it's it's a tributeshow, but it's it's been around
for a long time.
They do a great job.
They're actually playing andsinging live, so they're they're
(31:24):
really out there performing.
So, yeah, definitely shout outto them out there in Vegas doing
it still.
Tex LaFon (31:32):
Oh yeah, like I said for the and this is probably you
know 13 years ago when we wentand saw them and for them to
still be doing the show, and ifthey're still doing the splits
and everything else like theywere doing back, then bravo,
bravo, because that looks likeit would hurt.
D Vaz (31:50):
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, that's something I used to do
way back in the day when Iperformed, and, yeah, it's
probably been about 10 yearsbefore since I've even dreamed
about doing something like that.
Tex LaFon (32:07):
And another good thing about Vegas is just like
it's just there's a lot offreedom down there, like
whenever you get to go, like Isaid, a lot of places you can't
walk around with beverages, youcan't like do anything out on
the sidewalks like you can invegas.
D Vaz (32:23):
It's it's like I wouldn't recommend doing anything.
Tex LaFon (32:26):
I'm just saying it's a whole different world down
there compared to like anywhereelse you live.
D Vaz (32:30):
You know yeah, yeah, just uh, keep, as long as you keep
it legal Whatever you do.
Do anything legal in Vegas.
Tex LaFon (32:41):
Exactly have a good time, I think.
D Vaz (32:44):
Vegas should be paying for this podcast now.
They have enough money, theycan throw some our way.
Tex LaFon (32:52):
Yeah, that was a bone , that was a bone.
D Vaz (32:58):
But yeah, maybe we'll do a an actual full episode about
vegas sometime in the future.
But I mean, we I think wecovered a good amount of it.
Um, right off the bat here,it's a nice place to visit.
It's one of those places you gothere for a few days and you're
done.
You're kind of like all right,I want to go back home and like
like it's different for me,having lived there.
I usually get off the strip.
(33:20):
There are a few things I'll seeon the strip that are okay, but
certain restaurants and certainother places I just really
enjoy.
They have a really greattheater that has a full THX
sound off of the strip.
That that is the best soundingtheater I've ever been in.
(33:43):
So things like that there.
There are other thingsdefinitely worth checking.
I know when my parents havegone down there, they went to
like the Shelby museum that theyhave, as in the Shelby cars.
Tex LaFon (33:57):
So who makes Shelby?
D Vaz (34:00):
Well, shelby, I guess technically make make shelby,
but they have a partnership withford.
So, um, yeah, but my parentshave gone there, so there are
other things to do if you don'twant to just gamble.
Like Tex mentioned, there'sshows and stuff like that, and
that was the other big thing forme.
(34:20):
I used to like going to seeshows, especially when I lived
there.
The one regret I had.
One of my well, probablyactually my favorite comedian of
all time is George Carlin.
Yeah, I was going to see himthe last weekend that he
performed in Vegas before hepassed and I was like I'll
(34:41):
probably see him next time I'min town, or something like that.
So I missed that opportunity tosee him and it's like it was
one of the times that remindedme OK, if you get a chance to
see somebody perform, go seethem perform, you know.
So that was kind of a missedopportunity, but that was.
That was one of those vegasthings too.
(35:03):
If you're in vegas, especiallyon a regular basis, there's
always something in shows goingon.
So it's like sometimes you haveto pick.
You know what you want to see,um, but yeah, yeah, if you do go
there, plan ahead if you can,and figure out what show you
really want to see.
There's so much to check outand some of the shows are
(35:23):
ongoing.
They have a residency wherethey're going to be performing
every week, but other ones arejust limited engagements and if
that ever pops up and you'rethere, definitely check that out
.
But yeah, vegas has changed alot, though it's been a few
years since I've been there, butlast time I did go.
(35:43):
One of the big changes Inoticed from when I lived there
things actually closed.
Now, which is weird, especiallyfor vegas it used to be.
You can get whatever you wantat pretty much any time.
So I there was a starbucks bywhere, where I used to stay, and
I used to go there.
You know, if I wanted aStarbucks at two o'clock in the
morning or something like that,I can go do that.
(36:04):
But yeah, it's really weirdgoing by restaurants in Vegas
and seeing them closed at, youknow, at 10, 30 or midnight or
something like that.
Tex LaFon (36:15):
That's true Because, like you said, when we, when we
went, nothing it was open 24 7.
So yeah, but I think ever sincethe covid thing.
That's why I think they startedshutting stuff down well that I
don't know this trip.
D Vaz (36:28):
This trip was before that .
Tex LaFon (36:30):
This was um 2018 oh, the last time, the last time I
really went there, okay.
D Vaz (36:36):
Yeah, so I guess I'll take a step back too, since this
is the first one and we're kindof doing an introduction.
Yeah, we have kids.
So this is 2018 is the lasttime I went to Vegas before I
had my oldest was born, so gotto do it up a little bit there
(36:59):
and have some fun before allthat, because, you know, having
kids kind of changes things andchanges your Vegas trips.
AI Tec-O-Rama Parody Ad (A (37:07):
True , true.
D Vaz (37:09):
But yeah, that's when I noticed the thing started
closing earlier and closing ingeneral too, which is really
weird.
Tex LaFon (37:16):
Yeah, we do have kids closing in general too, which
is really weird.
D Vaz (37:20):
yeah, we do have kids and um I said because introduction
video, uh, I have one son, threegirls and um, I said they are a
handful, I just put it at thatI yeah, I have two sons rough
and tumble and beating eachother up, but I have to make
sure that they don't do that toomuch, and yeah, so it's always
(37:45):
interesting, though there'salways something they're going
to say or do that you're likewhere did that come from?
Why did you do that?
Tex LaFon (37:54):
logic is not the same my theory is they keep you
young because all they do isgetting the things and, you know
, getting trouble and maybe youwant to pull your hair out a lot
of times because they're doingstuff.
You're like, why are you doingthat?
But overall they're.
You know, kids are amazing,love kid.
D Vaz (38:15):
But yeah, right um, yeah, I mean for me, um, I had him a
little bit, a little bit olderon, uh, later on I was a little
bit older, so gave me a chanceto uh, you know, really
appreciate, um, when I was ableto, to have them.
(38:37):
But, yeah, also, being older,you're like I'm going to keep up
with you.
So no, it's definitely a greatthing.
What's that?
Tex LaFon (38:48):
I'm just saying, if you want to keep up with them,
drink Red Bull like me, son,that helps you stay.
Keeps up with them, okay.
D Vaz (38:58):
Yeah, I just try to figure out ways to you know not
have to to move as much withthem, but still being involved.
Like, can you go grab that forme?
Tex LaFon (39:13):
That's true.
D Vaz (39:17):
Yeah, no, it's fun getting up and you know, getting
around with them and pickingthem up.
And you're also, of course, atthe age where you know for me
they're still younger.
So they're at the age wherelike, oh, I, you know I can't do
this and you show them how todo it and they're like amazed.
And then you are excited whenyou see them actually being able
(39:38):
to do things themselves too.
So that's the other fun part ofit.
You have a small human that islearning and evolving and you
get to watch it yeah, you have amini, me all right I mean
basically it's funny because oneof my sons yeah what's that?
Tex LaFon (39:56):
no, I'm saying that's basically what they are because
, like you said, they learneverything that you do, so like
they're always watching you, youknow, until they get on up to
start backtalking, and then it'sa whole different bus.
D Vaz (40:09):
Actually no, I joke that my kids are already teenagers,
even though they're still yearsoff from that.
Sometimes, some of the stuffthey do and say it's like really
did you say that to me?
Tex LaFon (40:19):
Right, right.
D Vaz (40:21):
But yeah, it's, it's, uh, it's funny, cause, again, you
just never know really whatthey're going to do or say and,
uh, they get their littlephrases too.
Sometimes I like quoting them,especially quoting them back to
my uh, back to themselves, youknow, just If they say something
to me.
I'll give you an example theoldest, he's at the age where he
(40:44):
kind of thinks that if youdon't know something, you
probably forgot it.
It's not that you didn't know.
If we're watching a video,he'll ask me about what's going
to happen next in the video, andit's a video I've never seen
before.
I'll be like I't know you know Ihave to watch the video and be
(41:04):
like you forgot so, so I throwthat back at him sometimes if he
doesn't know something, or justto joke with him and if he
doesn't know something.
I'll be like you forgot exactlyit has its advantages right,
that's true.
Tex LaFon (41:16):
Like the same thing.
You know we'll be watching amovie and they'll be like, oh,
what's going to happen next?
Or are they going to live?
Or you know what's going tohappen and I'm like I haven't
seen the movie, just like youhaven't seen it.
So I don't know what's going tohappen.
Like you know, I'm like, no, Ihaven't.
Honestly, I would tell you ifI've seen it.
It's just funny.
D Vaz (41:44):
Right, yeah, yeah.
So it's definitely somethingI'm sure we're going to revisit
in the future and go into,because, having them around,
there are always stories andalways crazy things that they do
.
Tex LaFon (41:58):
Always, always.
D Vaz (42:01):
But I think this is probably about a good spot to
wrap up our first episode.
We've gone on about some of thebasics about us and you know
that's the whole point of thispodcast.
You'll get to know us better aswe go forward and of course, we
about vegas at a pretty goodlength exactly, and uh, yeah, I
(42:23):
think, uh, that that's, like Isaid, pretty good for for first
one.
Anything else you'd like to addor any other thoughts on this?
Tex LaFon (42:29):
yeah, like I said, um , you know.
I said it was just a littlebrief description about you know
, so you could get to know us.
Um, like I said, we continuemore and more on in the show,
you know.
Obviously you could get to knowus.
Um, like I said, we continuemore and more on in the show,
you know.
Obviously you'll get to more,know more about us.
But, like I said, just yeah,sometimes you know but just so
you know more, so you learn moreexactly, but you know just more
(42:51):
and that's all it was, you know, so you know that's gonna end,
I guess, our first everbroadcast episode oh yeah that's
what I'll talk about and uh, asalways, go cowboys I really
hope you're not gonna end everyepisode that way.
D Vaz (43:12):
If you are, it's gonna be funny though when they lose.
So, all right, take care.
All right, thank you forjoining us and, uh, watch us
next time or listen to us nexttime.
Tex LaFon (43:24):
