(00:01):
How's it going, everybody? Thisis real men, talk shit. It's
one forty eight. Holy god,it's been forever, it feels like,
and I'm just drained. I feellike I've done nothing and it's been months,
but it's only been a week.Burless. How's it going, Bud.
I'm very tired because Elden Ring DLCand Power World Update are coming out
at the same time. Eldon RINGDALCis the twenty first Power World Updates twenty

(00:25):
seventh, so I'm trying to doas like much cons as I can before
then, which is why I'm verytired. And I was late to showing
up to the podcast and yeah,gim meetings and everything else. G Fuel
keeps us frunt and we got Dannyde Rito speaking of G Fuel. How's
it going, Danny, it's going. Yeah, I got the wall of
g feel behind me. Hey,at least you're one hundred percent showcasing the

(00:48):
brand. I'm gonna put something inchat. But it's crazy that, uh
G fuel sends that many things.I love them so much. Now.
Yeah, when I joined, theytreated me like everybody else did. Everybody
else was being treated and I waslike, wait, guys, I've just
you know, just hot loads act. That's all I am. They're like,

(01:08):
no, you're you're a creator andthat was that was so interesting.
But shout out to gfuel. Useany of our codes. Use code rmts
to check out for twenty percent off. Yeah. They give me more tubs
that I know what to do withat some point, because like caffeine,
you can't have too much of itor it's really bad. That's why you

(01:30):
take the recommended dose dosage Accordon Gfuel one forty milligrams of scoop. No
you'll limit and all that other funstuff. I can't. I can't drink
ten cups a day. That's bad, but I need to with how much
they send me. You need todrink more. Look at all that back
there. Yeah, I can't needto drink more. What are you talking
about? That's crazy. I drinkthree cups a day. Have you guys

(01:52):
tried the hydration? Uh, theyjust sent me some. I was going
to try that out. I needI need caffeine. I only care about
the caffeine. Yeah, the hydrationis an interesting one. I got the
hydration stuff for my kids. Actuallyit was nice. That's actually a good
idea. Yeah, yeah, areguys like, oh wait, you have
kids, let me send some ofthis stuff. So I was like,
okay, I'll try this and I'lltry that. And I was like okay,

(02:13):
yeah, it was really nice.I was like, yeah, so
I'm stock, I have like thirtytubs. Can I get, you know,
hydration and stuff. Then if you'retrying to send me stuff, we
might as well. But that wascool. They're like, yeah, we'll
take care of the kids, willtake care of you. And I was
like, damn you guys are gettingall the plugs not only in school,
but out of school too well.So it's really nice for the hydration because

(02:34):
some people just don't drink caffeine,so it's like here you go, you
can still have the same great flavors. I don't know how anybody cannot drink
caffeine. I feel so much betterand so much more of a human on
caffeine than I do without it.It's crazy, which is kind of weird
because like a lot of people withADHD they say like, oh, I
drink caffeine and it makes me tiredor it doesn't make the fuel is good.
I can drink a I can drinka full cup of g fuel and

(02:55):
take a nap or go to sleep, and I will sleep better caffeine then
off of caffeine. Yeah, butlike they don't even say, like,
oh, it makes me feel better. It must be the focus complex that
then really gets you lined up.So when you're dealing with ADHD, when
you're not medicated at all, it'slike a roller coaster. You'll have burst
of energy and then it will die. And then you'll have burst of energy

(03:16):
and then it'll die. Especially withme, because I do more of the
hyper focused stuff where I'll pay asuper high attention to something and then it'll
drop off. Caffeine lowers that towhere it's like a stable line instead of
a roller coaster. So that wayI can be more consistent in figuring out
when I have to fall asleep orwhen I'm able to do something. I

(03:37):
actually, when I was little,when I was still going to my sperm
donor of a father, he wouldhe would give me four to two liters
of soda for the entire weekend andhe would let me drink them however I
want it essentially, but I couldn'tdrink them before eleven am. But if
I drank them before bed, Icould drink a full entire two liter of

(03:58):
soda before I would go to bedand be perfectly fine, and I would
sleep from like ten o'clock until likenine o'clock in the morning, and then
I was great. But what kindof so do you talk like you're talking
like mountain dew? That no,just like normal pepsi. You're for two
liters of pepsi. But the caffeinecontent in between mountain dew and pepsi,
it really isn't that much different.I think it's like double No, it's

(04:20):
like ten milligrams. I thought there'sa very very small difference. So we
can google this up. Google itpepper. Actually, if I remember correctly,
and the highest sugar content is mountaindew. Mountain dew caffeine fifty five
milligrams for twelve ounces on mountain dew, and then five or thirty five I

(04:44):
believe, yeah, I think it'slike thirty five for like colo, thirty
seven point five for pepsi can yepand if I remember, yeah, but
it's not as drastic as everybody makesit out to be. They're like,
oh, it's it's so much worse. It's you know, it's green.
That's that's why it's so different,guys. It's not brown, it's weird.

(05:04):
Yeah yeah, I used that usedto be the way that he put
me to sleep. It'd be justhere's a two leader, go to sleep.
Did you guys see that? Uh? I think Doctor Pepper is like
the They're like the number two soda. They like overtook pepsi. No really
yeah wait, I was like,what Coca Cola is still number one though?
Well yes, but that's because it'snever been a competition. Yeah,

(05:30):
it surpasses Pepsi is the second mostpopular sota. That's why that is.
So what's weird is in New Yorkat least, so they uh, Doctor
Peppers have owned the brand since twentyeighteen, and they bought it with an
eighteen point seven billion deal with CraigGreen Mountain to take the name Doctor Pepper

(05:56):
Snapple. So that's why is therepart of Snapple too. But it's interesting
to see how they count this becausefor the longest time I thought it was
just coke versus pepsi, which Iunderstand, but around me at least,
Pepsi sells better. Pepsi's normally atthe front of the aisle all by itself
and then Coke is at the end. So to me, I always thought

(06:18):
that it was at least a fiftyto fifty, but I guess the South
is more Coke. But it's interestingto see doctor Pepper finally pass it because
honestly, doctor Pepper is better thanboth of them. The flavor is more
complex and you can put it withmore things. People in the South use
doctor Pepper and boil peanuts in it, and they caught doctor Pepper. That's

(06:41):
fucking weird, but they use itin more ways. And speaking of coke,
saw this fucking short the other dayand they're like, did you know
it does this? And I waslike, wait, okay, I'm a
nerd. I gotta know this dudepoured a two liter bottle of soda over
top of this girl's hair who hadgum in it. It removed the gum

(07:02):
from the hair because it d natureis the gum enough to the point where
it doesn't stick. And I waslike, fuck, that's cool. And
then they're like, look, poorcoke on top of rust and it eats
away of the rust. I waslike, yeah, I already knew that,
but that's cool. And then therewas one more thing and that was
it was the interesting part of it. And you don't fucking adhd brain fucking
sucks. Third thing always made makesno sense to remember it too. But

(07:28):
yeah, it's interesting to see doctorPepper pass both Pepsi and coke. Really
fucking interesting. I never liked DoctorPepper, Like, the complex flavor isn't
what I want in a crisp refreshingsoda. Pepsi's more refreshing. Yeah,
Doctor Pepper coconut. It did somethingweird with it the other day because it
came out with it and I waslike, I gotta try this, and

(07:51):
I and I'm normally quiet about othersodas because I do respect g if you'll
at that level of like, I'mjust not going to talk about any other
drinks at all because it just makesit easier. But uh, I took
the Miami Nights g fuel flavor andmixed it with creamy coconut Doctor Pepper,
and that was the greatest pina coladaflavor I've ever had in my life because

(08:13):
it's not Doctor Pepper coconut with likecoconut flavoring added into Doctor Pepper. It's
straight up like coconut Doctor Pepper sodaso it's like super super coconuty and then
you mixed in the Yeah, thatshit was awesome. Yeah, I sound
like Beard, but it's fucking fantastic. I do stuff like that all the

(08:35):
time. Or I'll mix you feelwith like random stuff. I mean,
they have like a bunch of flavorsthat that are like desserts and stuff,
and you can like mix those withmilk. And I haven't tried the milk
thing because being lactose intolerant absolutely horribleyou can do. When I buy milk,
it's like seven dollars. Oh no, I'm allergic to tre nuts can.

(08:56):
I'm sorry. Yeah, obviously I'mstraight allergic to nut milk. But
I get the lactose free milk,which is like seven dollars a gallon,
so it's okay. In the balls, it's like at least at last three
months worth of time because of theexpiration date. But I'll mix it with
different sodas and stuff like that becauseit's just nice to have a little bit

(09:18):
of a difference. But I actuallygot something really really nice the other day.
It was unclearance for like one hundredand fifty dollars off, and I
was like, yes, you know, what. I'm just gonna buy it
because it's nice. It was likea two hundred and fifty dollar thing,
three hundred dollars thing. I gota fair like eighty bucks. I got
a Ninja drink thing, or Ihad a soda stream where you have to

(09:39):
screw on the bottle and it getsall fucked up if you try and add
things into the bottle beforehand. ButI got a the soda stream one.
It was really fucking nice. Youdon't have to have any certain bottle if
it's even the big G fuel cups, which which is really nice. So
I'll mix up G fuel at thebottom with like two three ounces worth of
water, shake it and then makesparkling water into that way, I don't

(10:00):
even have to can ship to meanymore. It's just like I could have
whatever G fuel carbonated I want,and it's not trying to find a sparkling
water flavor or soda flavor that mixeswith it. Which is cool because now
I can just have whatever I want. Yeah, I did that from one
of my first Like, well Ifirst got G fuel, I was like,
let's just make g feel smoothies yep, And that was cool. Yeah,

(10:22):
like having one of the those quicklittle blenders. Is life life changing.
Oh, it's not even a blender, it's much more. Call it
it's a ninja Thirsty. I believeit makes sparkling water in it, and
you put pods in the top andyou can literally mix the g fuel in
the pod and then it will dumpthe entire pod into the drink too,
so you don't even have to likemix it correctly too. Oh that that's

(10:43):
crazy. Like I hear ninjas,I think about the old like ninja blender
commercials, but Thirsty is wild.Yeah. No, Walmart had it on
a crazy fucking rollback deal like twothree weeks ago, maybe a month ago.
I was like, you know what, I loved my soda Stream,
but stopped selling the little screw onthings at my Walmart for the longest time,
so I stopped using it. Iwas like, nah, you know

(11:05):
what, I need to get backoff of soda. Let me just swap
over to this and see if itworks. And it did, and I'm
like, Okay, this is awesome. It's it's really fucking high quality too.
It looks nice. Yeah, thisis like the craziest thing I've seen
since the soda Stream came out forthe first time, like you see that
as a kid, Like, Yeah, I could be rich and get one
of those. Yeah, because Iwas really surprised with the price too,

(11:30):
because of the content that I make. That that sounds like a good little
content farm. I had to getone of those flavors. Well, I
would definitely be a content farm.It's like buying your own fucking mechanical or
like a hydraulic press. You justput anything in there. I got it
for one hundred and thirty dollars.Here is the link. It is normally
one sixty nine. I guess theyany to make sure to open it in

(11:52):
a separate tab because it will fuckwith you and kick you out of the
room if you don't. But uh, it comes with a whole bunch of
shit and you're kind of just ableto use anything with it. So once
we had one of the little podthingies empty, I kind of made g
fuel inside of it with like threefour scoops and it just comes across as
nice. And then Soda Stream alsosells the direct syrup from like mountain dew

(12:16):
and pepsi and stuff, so youcan then mix in SODA's at whatever level
of flavor you want, which isso nice. It's just so autistic because
you're like, oh, I canadd in however much I want. Okay,
So here's the crazy thing. Ifyou want to make Baja blast,
three parts mountain dew, one partblue power aid, that's the recipe.

(12:37):
Or blue ice, Yeah, blueice. That doesn't make Baja blast,
but watch we'll call it. SoI used toill love going and finding all
the different little mountain dew flavors thatthey would throw out and try and try
them. The only ones I wouldn'ttry is pitch black because grape is gross,

(12:58):
agreed. So I've gone through andmade mountain dew with every single flavor
of g fuel that I have,because I was like, Okay, this
is a cool thing. Let mejust I bistically try it. So you
know the sour fruit punch that cameout a few months ago, Yeah,
sour fruit punch and mountain dew slapsso fucking hard because it's like the it's

(13:18):
like a sour version of the thefruit punch they released in the in the
different competition things they used to doback in the day. And then the
other one I tried was the candleOpe candle Open Mountain Dew tastes so much
like Typhoon from back in the daythat shit slaps too, and I was
like, this is so fucking awesome. I can't I can't negative it at

(13:41):
all. Fantastic A sour plus mountaindew sounds really good and I missed yeah
back in the day when they didlike the first one that had like voltage
wide out and the other one theyweren't separate ones, Vault. It was
hold on, let me look,because I used to love them, because
it was just it's an ADHD dreammhm. Because it's like, okay,

(14:05):
what okay, Mountain New Flavor competition. So it was like an ADHD dream
because it's like you can try allthese different flavors. So the first one
was Revolution, which turned into adifferent white out super Nova which was melon
and Mountain Dew, and then Voltage. If you want me to be honest,

(14:26):
out of this one, Voltage wasthe worst. You're wrong, You're
just like completely wrong. The bestone. One. I'm happy to volte.
Voltage is good. I'm happy,but it's always available. Voltage was
fantastic. Another one that I madewas I mixed the candalope that I put
in the pod and watermelon with mountaindew and it, and it legitimately tasted

(14:50):
like drinking a fruit salad. Itwas steve weirdest feeling I've ever had in
my life. But yeah, Ilove doing weird shit like this. It
was always interesting to kind of justsee exactly what it is, because you
know, it's interesting. And then, uh, Democracy too is the one.
I believe that white Out one andthey don't have a picture for this

(15:13):
one. Yeah, white Out onewith forty four percent, but there was
only six seven states. It lostmm hmm, it lost to it lost
forty percent Typhoon and then sixteen tolike a heavier lime mountain dew. I
don't even know why that was inthe competition. But yeah, no,

(15:33):
I I thought that thing was nicebecause it's just a nice little difference of
Uzu lemon grass flavor for white Out. Use you lemon gra What are you
talking about? That's what the whiteOut flavor is. Really, it's like
yuzu slash do you feel I don'teven know if that's a flavor anymore.
I missed that one. Uh youlike amine kind of flavor? I it

(16:00):
was citrus, I know that,but it was like an orange Citrus or
something. It was Pdpie's second flavor. Yeah, they're interesting with the things
that I told you, with thethings that they come out with. I
get that four different flavors and stuff. The first like do Vote, was
just like the craziest thing as akid, because like, yeah, you

(16:21):
go down the storm, you getall the new flavors, and like they're
just so wild and delicious, andall of them other than Code Red,
all three of those flavors would haveoutsold Pitch Black, Live Wire and what
was the third one they had.All three of those flavors were good enough
to be standalone flavors. They wereat the level of Code Red, And

(16:42):
it was just like, guys,why don't we just cycle the flavors like
every year, cycle them to threenew flavors and have you know the normal
do stay? I don't even careif you cycle out Code Red every now
and then. I think it feltlike another hit at the nineties, because
that was like the most nineties feelingthing happened like two thousand and eight,
so it's like, oh, thenineties are back. Yeah, everything's great.

(17:04):
So I remember my mom telling meabout how like they would take the
tops of you know, cigarette packsor like how Monster does the tabs Now,
It's like it was like that oflike, guys, there's a giveaway
thing if you go to the storeand buy these flavors, you can vote
on which one stays. It's likethen they fucked it all up with you
know, the Mountain Dew naming contests, and it's like, guys, go

(17:26):
back, you know, twenty yearsand we already have it figured out.
Just cycle the flavors, cycle allof the fruit flavors with different flavors every
year and just say, oh,we're adding in a flavor into the into
the cycle. That's how you win. That's how you win. America back
Mountain Dew. I just did allthe work for you. You can retake
over Doctor Pepper. And that's whereit got. That's what my confusion and

(17:49):
point was. Do they just countdoctor pepper sales, Pepsi sales, and
coke sales or is it all ofthe brand because that's where it gets confusing.
I would assume it's all of thebrands because Sprite is going to out
sell Storry because Starry is shit.Sprite is by far the most powerful second

(18:11):
brand. If Mountain Dwe's not countingtowards pepsi, but Mountain dew might be
stronger than everything else Coke has otherthan coke. So I had this question.
I saw this question on Reddit andit was interesting because it changes the
way a lot of people kind ofperceive things, and it was it was

(18:33):
a story essentially like, hey,guys, I'm coming here to ask you
guys because my boyfriend does this andI think it's weird. She's like,
so the other day we were sittingdown playing Mario Kart, and every two
to three games, he would justslow down on the third level, on
the third lap, he would justslow down to the point where it was

(18:56):
easy to kind of pass him andkind of win the race. Oh so
he's letting you in. And thenshe's like, yeah, so how do
I get him to stop? BecauseI just want him to take me as
like a person that can do everythinginstead of it just being, you know,
this big obnoxious thing where oh,we're not competing, we're just playing
the game together. Do you guyslet your girlfriends or significant others or kids

(19:19):
win or do you guys just kindof actually push them to be the best
in the game to win. Howdo you guys, look at this,
I can go first. I mean, I guess, go ahead. Yeah.
I have a seven year old,so he's like really into two gaming
now, and whenever we play agame together, I'll let him win like

(19:44):
two times and then they like thethird time. I got to like let
them know, you know, who'sreally boss. But I don't know,
I feel like with the significant other, that's I find that a little weird.
Like I mean, I guess itdepends on what you're playing. Like
like my wife can like kick myass at chess, so you know,

(20:04):
there's like but like I guess,if you're gonna let somebody win, you
got to not be so obvious aboutit either, you know, like if
you can like see the pattern,Like that's that's kind of weird to me.
It got weird because I have threekids too, and all three of
them I just push them, pushthem, because why the hell not let

(20:27):
them see exactly what they're doing,let them learn how to do it,
let them experience how the situation is. Obviously, you keep telling them they're
doing better, and they're doing better, and you keep pushing those things,
but you don't kind of just bagso that way they feel like they won
maybe once or twice, but lettingthem feel like you're this god and they're

(20:48):
trying to step up and they actuallydo it, that has more payoff than
just being like, oh, dadwas never better than you. You beat
me the first two times you played. It comes off as like almost obnoxious
to me at least, but significantothers are even at a higher level than
that to me at least. Whenwhen my wife wanted to learn how to

(21:11):
play a game or something, Isat her on my lap and we're like,
we're gonna play. And when wewere playing Call of Duty, it
was okay, see if you canbeat me, See if you can get
more kills than I can, andI obviously I'm better. But you know
how many times that she actually didbeat me and she got super fucking excited
and was all like giddy about itand everything else. Yeah, it wasn't

(21:32):
very often. Yeah, when wedropped in a blackout, it was rare
for her to get two or threekills. But do you know how fun
it is when she gets five orsix and you're like, fuck, you
took everything. Not only that,it pushes you to do better too,
because then you're trying to better themand yourself every time, and that to
me is fun. I think italso depends on like the proficiency of the

(21:53):
game too, Like obviously if myson's like, you know, just playing
the game for the first time,like I'm gonna let them learn how to
play first before I like, yeah, absolutely. You don't curbe stop people,
right, but you show them that, Like you're playing Mario Kart,
you don't bag on the last lapto see if they could win. You
finish the race and come go go. You got this and you and you

(22:15):
get them going. It's not justoh, I'm just gonna let you win.
That to me is weird, bros, you do that shit? Yeah,
Well, the thing is, likeit's really complicated. I haven't had
anyone in my life that's been like, oh, I need to beat you
in your game, Like you findtheir game that they're better at, and
then you try to compete with themand see how they respond in that way.

(22:38):
To me, the best game forthings like this was games like Mario
Party, where it's like you mayknow five or six of the mini games
to the level where you're a fuckingbeast at them, and you might be
acceptable at all all the other ones, but it's a competition and you're fucking
around with each other and having fun. That was always the best one to
me. The worst thing that I'veseen is playing something that's like a platformer,

(23:02):
like uh, the New Maria Brothersand stuff. When that came out
on we we would bring in mysister to play, and we would have
four of us playing at the sametime. She would automatically put herself in
the bubble and expect us to carryher the entire fucking thing. So we
would go to save ourselves because wemissed a jump or something, and we
lose the entire round. Yeah,because we have somebody already in a bubble

(23:23):
instead of standing at the edge andwaiting to make sure we all made the
jump. That was the worst oneto me. It's like we're carrying you,
and she would scream, pop me, don't pop me, pop me,
don't pop me. So we wouldend up running through the level and
popping her as we walked through it, and should get mad. It's like,
no, just just stop playing,just stop playing. Ways that can

(23:44):
kind of break down where it's likeyou can't play one hundred skull games.
If this actually becomes an issue whereit's just like, oh, I'm only
always going to win, even thoughI like, yeah, like the just
being included is not Super Smash Brothersor anything like that, because then like
that's also more obvious. What's kindof fun where it's like, all right,
let's see if I could beat youwhen I'm playing Kirby or something,
and then Mario Party has to bethe best one because it's like twenty five

(24:07):
percent skills seventy five percent look wherelike you can consistently win and do well
and like get it, but thenyou just lose a chance time or they
land on something, get like fivefree stars and just win the game.
It's like that'll happen once in awhile. It's like those games will determine
it for you. But man,that's like the diickest move when it's just
like, oh I don't have toparticipate and I'm just holding everyone back.

(24:29):
Then why are you even here?Why are you even like pretending to play?
Yeah, it's like it doesn't matter. We have ninety nine lives and
we've beaten the game. We don'twant to carry somebody Like if you're going
out of your way to play Callof Duty and you're like I sat down
my controller four games ago TV.It's like, no, fuck you,
Why the fuck are you in here? Then? Why? Why? This
makes no sense? But yeah,that used to drive me nuts, and

(24:53):
it even it even comes to apoint where a couple of months ago,
when the new Mortal Kombat came out, I bought it and was playing it
with my kids and my two olderkids and stuff like that, they pushed
themselves to try and beat me.That like you ignite the fire in them
of Oh, I just touched thisgame for the first time and I kicked

(25:14):
your ass. It lights the sparkin them and it's so cool to see.
And I don't know, like,I don't know if everybody feels that
or if my kids are just competitive, but uh, my daughter didn't stop
playing for like five hours, sixhours after we started playing. She's just
like that, can I keep playing? Yes? Go ahead, go go
ahead, enjoy it. She justkept going and kept going and kept going,

(25:37):
and it's like, get you're enjoyingyourself. Why am I going to
tell you to get off? Andshe's the kid that doesn't like every little
video game. It's just like everynow and then something looked like and she'll
be like, I like this.It was so cool because my son did
the same thing. The next day. He beat the entire story mode because
he's like, I just want tobe able to beat dad, and it's
like, oh, now it's achallenge. The only time he quits now

(26:00):
is like if I go through andI do one hundred percent combo when he
can't move, he's like that thatwasn't fun. It's like, yeah,
well you know, I hit theone in a lifetime Commo, It's okay.
I promise you it's okay. Thisis a more modern problem because like
you think about old shows like TVshows where it's just like, oh,
the kid tries to beat the fatherand then the father just like beats him

(26:22):
down, you know, the entireepisode until he finally gets the win at
the end. It's like, yeah, that doesn't happen the same way as
it doesn't chess or football or otherlike board games where it's normally portrayed,
because again, board games have thatchance element, a little bit of like
knowledge and eventually you can catch upand be on an even playing field.
In gaming sometimes just like I willalways be better than you. So we

(26:44):
have to find out how to makethis work in gaming. I was always
better than my parents, Like yeah, exactly. I started playing games at
fucking three and a half four yearsold, so like as a whole,
I never had that point. Soit was weird when like me and my
stepdad would go out and like whereme and my stepdad would go pass around
a football and he's like oh shit, and like you see it in their

(27:06):
eyes of like oh he's he's moreathletic than I am, like sevent eight
years old. It's like, dude, I don't understand where it's like,
oh yeah, there was a timewhere I wasn't more athletic than you were.
Like I never had that time oflike oh yeah, he's dad,
he's better. I was better atvideo games and I was more athletic,

(27:29):
So there was never that time.And that to me is like it's hard
asking people, Oh, well,did you ever have that time? Did
you run into that wall of likeoh I'm finally better now? Because I
imagine a thirty forty year old guy. Half of them have beer bellies.
How many of our dads were actuallyathletic at thirty forty years old. There's
a handful maybe, but even atten years old, you're more athletic than

(27:52):
they are. Then that doesn't makesense. No, they just have size
to like push you down without tryingin football or something, but they don't
have the agility or actual talent thatyou can develop really quickly as a kid.
Or you can hold. You canhold that. You can hold that
skill quite a bit, and itseems like video games you can hold it

(28:12):
even longer as long as it's nota reaction game and it's more secular to
that specific game you play. Yeah. I think it's also different with like
a girlfriend, because guys are naturallymore competitive. So even if your girls
like, oh, hey, here'sthe game I'm really good at, and
she beats you a couple of times, she's only played that game for twenty
hours, a guy will put twentyhours in two days and then get better

(28:34):
or just like be like, ohyeah, I will play your game more
now. And then that's why winninggames too, because you can do teams
and stuff like that, and thenyou become like the couple that stomps on
everybody and that's fun too. Yeah. Yeah, definitely, it depends a
lot on what the game is like, like you said, whether it's more
of a chance game or if it'sactually like a skill based game where you

(28:56):
can go grind for how many hoursand actually like considerably good at this sort
amount of time. But well,a lot of those skill games are so
much like if you look at theluck based games like Mario Party, like
Pokemon that have that level of RNGin them where it's like one thing can

(29:17):
fuck up the entire thing. It'slike there's a level of skill that you
can have to where you guarantee eightyfive ninety percent of the games because you
just know more. You just knowhow to do this more and do that
more. That's why I think thatthis is so oh it's a racing game.
No, that is a skill basedfucking game. And if you and

(29:37):
if you take the randomization of itout of oh there could be random blueshells,
you're winning ninety five percent of theraces if you think about it.
Yeah, okay, so if you'regiving up their Lab three, it's obvious
as fuck. Yeah, that iscondescending. Like I would rather be stomped

(29:57):
by somebody who's better than me andsomebody who's driving backward saying ha ha,
look at how good I am.Stop me, do it? Show me
that you're better than me, sothat way I can come back. Mario
Kart is way too weird for somethinglike this, because like if you get
into the weeds about like competitive MarioKart, those people are psychotic where it's

(30:19):
just like, oh, you dothis strat and then you like you just
hyper drift everything, and like theywill play the game in a way that
you cannot even comprehend how fast theydo it. They could eat three blue
shells and still be in first placewhen it's like, how are you so
far ahead? The game doesn't allowfor that, So yeah, if you're
that's a harder game to like kindof fake it on. And I think
like the only way you could doit is if you're just like trying to

(30:41):
look like you're really trying but takingrisky stuff. So it's like, oh,
I need to make this one hopand I look cool, and then
you bonk into the wall and fallout, and then you put yourself in
just enough range into Blueshell and comein third. Like there, you have
to be very careful because the gameis either like yeah, I'm either two
laps ahead of you or I'm I'mjust beming and I'm not looking cool.

(31:03):
By just going hah haa, it'sweird. I'll get if he's sandbagging and
Mario Kart, it's pretty noticeable.Yeah. So I had this idea for
content and less I want to Iwant to run this by you because you
are the intellectual savior of all thesedipshits who are doing this, and I
want to preview, right, Solet me just say that I'm proving you

(31:25):
right by doing this, and it'llbe a thank you if I am appreciating
to do it. So, thisis what I'm planning. I purchased the
game already. I'm going to startstreaming the game and then I'm going to
break down from the game to whenI start playing competitive matches into one video
and then the competitive matches in thesecond is what. Let me say it

(31:48):
this way, when is the nextstart of the VGC Ladder on the season
start? Like? When does theseason start? It's like the first of
the month. Okay, so itresets every month or does it reset every
two months? It resets every month, and then there's like a new series
that like shuffles and Pokemon that areallowed. I don't think there's gonna be
a new series because we already havelike one restricted legendary allowed, and we're

(32:14):
not going to GS Cup yet untilafterwards. Maybe you just look it up
on serbiency like when the dates areso I'm going to beat the entire game,
I don't. I didn't pay forthe DLC yet because I wanted to
ask if it was needed, andI want to see exactly you know,
all the other games you have,like a statched Pokemon Bank not needed.

(32:35):
No, I haven't paid for PokemonBank, and i've I have some of
it, but I don't have allof it. But I want to prove
your point of it does take time, but it doesn't take as much time
as it used to. I don'twant to prove that I can do this
completely legitimately by either having my friendshand me something possibly if I need something
where they breed something and they haveextras, and I want to do it

(32:57):
all by myself. Just this ishow much time it takes to make master
rank. And I want to proveyou right by saying, Okay, it's
not as hard as everybody says itis. I don't think I need to
be proven right on that because it'sjust objective, like it's only level fifty
now for hyper training instead of levelone hundreds. So I mean like you
got a team quick, but it'sstill it's still like one hundred hours to

(33:22):
get your first competitive team exactly.So if I'm planning and beating the game
at the same time then going throughand getting and catching the things that I
need, it shouldn't be as muchtime across the board of like, oh
it's so much time. It's sucha time sink. I should be able
to do most of it as awhole as I'm going through the game and
everything else. Yeah, I thoughtit was an interesting Oh Verless was actually

(33:45):
right, it isn't as hard,and you're the other just kind of the
thing is, the Pokemon Commune isjust idiots. It's just toxic brats that
don't want to work for any oftheir things, so you don't need to
prove them is object. It islike two plus two weeks four the sky
is blue shit, where that's inherentlya fact that it's easy. But their
argument is, oh, it's somuch money. It's no I just bought

(34:06):
the game. That's just a lotlike that. They're just too stupid,
that's just a lot. That's mypoint is like, and it's they're automatically
disproven. You don't need an exampleof this being a thing. I know.
I just thought it was a coolyo idea. I liked the idea,
and I was like, oh,VGC sounds fun. Let me learn
it. And if I learn itin one hundred and twenty hours and now
I'm in masterball rank, I'm lookingat everybody like they're stupid. That's very,

(34:29):
very cheap, one hundred and twentyhour masterball rank. The problem is
they don't want to do that work. And then they say like, oh,
having one hundred hours of practice oversomeone isn't an advantage. You're just
objectively wrong. Yeah, but onehundred and twenty hours to beat the game
and become masterball rank because I watchvideos, I learn how people play,
would is not a crazy get It'snot crazy to get to that level.

(34:52):
That's too much. That takes toomuch time, that's too long, it's
unaccessible because of all the idiots andpokemon. It's just too stupid to even
deal with or not? So isit too stupid to just show everybody up
and do it myself? Except thatdoesn't count, because like, oh,
just hitting masterball rank, that's notenough, and then the poke Pokemon community
is too fucking stupid to engage anyof this with, Like you need an

(35:15):
outside force that's actually like, oh, you're you guys are idiots. You
don't think hacking the game is cheating? Like there actually needs to be like
some major outside pressure from like massivecreators that just come in and be like,
Oh, you're all just beyond stupid. You're all just beyond wrong except
for this verlicify guy. Until thathappens, nothing else matters, Nothing else
changes the thing, nothing else makesa point, like you prove nothing because

(35:37):
they're that stupid. Yeah, it'sit's crazy, but I thought it was
I thought it was not only afun jab that you know, the conversations
we had, but also do anythingthat's how some little piece of conversation and
and shit like that. I don'tknow Pokemon. That's the only Pokemon experience
I had. Oh, you didn'tplay Pokemon as a kid, Well,

(36:00):
I honestly didn't have video games untilI was in like middle school because like
my parents split, and if it'soh, so you're a little bit younger
than me, so Pokemon wouldn't havestarted until I remember all the kids in
school, like, oh, Igot like the blue cartridge and they get
like the other color and stuff,but I never got into it toturately,

(36:24):
it's one of Honestly, it's oneof the most intriguing games there is because
of how much diversity and stuff thereis. I wouldn't even know where to
start for your kids. For kidsand being able to play with them too,
because they will just absorb all ofthe information like a sponge. It
was actually the first game that bothof my older two kids beat. They

(36:46):
beat Pokemon Sword and Shield by themselves. I handed them the cartridge and told
them to play it and figure itout. Yeah. One of my middle
school teachers kind of set me straightbecause we had to memorize like three pages
of a book and then just likerecite it and read it without having the
book there. It's like pure memorizationof like a play or something. And

(37:06):
I was like, I can't dothis. I'm struggling within. They're like,
you know everything about every Pokemon andyou can tell me like every stat
and world record of every fish caughtin Florida, but you can't memorize three
pages. I was like, damn, I lose, Like I have no
excuse. That shit's crazy, AndI don't know if that's just a me
thing and that's supposed to be normal. I could memorize whatever the fuck I

(37:30):
felt like I needed to memorize.But if it's a recall thing, I'm
going to fail horribly. And Iknow that's ADHD, But reciting a fucking
book is the most obscene, retardedthing I've ever seen in my life.
Me and this kid we went toschool in like two different schools together,

(37:50):
and we essentially grew up together.He was my cousin's best friend's nephew and
we were the same age, andhe was somebody in the play at some
point, and he just wasn't aplayperson. They just kind of pushed him
to do it because they forced him, And I was like, I could
never do that shit, not becauseof the public speaking, not because of
having fun. Why the fuck doI give enough of a fuck to be

(38:14):
forced to remember sentences that have nobearing on anything about Romeo and Juliet.
Why the fuck does that matter?Where is this anything we have to learn?
I believe that like menial learning,like things that don't matter, is
actually very important because like you stillneed discipline, you still need a slight

(38:36):
honing of that skill for like recalland on the spot, Oh shit,
I'm doing a presentation. I needto memorize an entire word for word page
in a short amount of That makessense, and there's payoff to that.
The payoff to doing a play inEnglish class in tenth grade, there's no
real payoff to that. It's just, oh, you got a grade the
skill, that's the payoff you havethat betting of an ability. Doesn't that

(39:00):
skill make more sense if you gothrough and you make it that way?
It's public speaking. If English waspublic speaking, learning how to interact with
people, and being able to writeproperly, then those are the only three
things English class is about. Becausehow many people are genuinely writing papers.
We speak a hell of a lotmore than we do right especially now.

(39:24):
Wouldn't that benefit humanity as a wholehell of a lot more if those things
were the basis of what English classwas. I remember one book from high
school night by L. Eisel,and it was about the concentration camps and
shit like that. How many booksdo you remember from high school? It's
still about developing reading comprehension. That'swhy the absolutely tests you get or just

(39:46):
complete nonsense where it's just like,here's a half of a paragraph, try
to extract something from it. It'slike the only way you can do that
is by reading books you've already forgottenabout, or knowing how to bullshit your
way through absolutely everything because they acceptninety percent of effort, which is where
the problem comes in. I hada high school English teacher that also taught

(40:08):
like the community college, and shewas just everybody was terrified of her,
and a lot of her actual likecurriculum was like the speaking and like we
did a lot of presentations in thatclass, and I was terrified like every
time. And we read a lotof books too. I think most of
the books that I remember reading inhigh school were in her class, like

(40:30):
Fahrenheit four fifty one and Enters Gameand stuff like that. So I guess
depends on the teacher. Yeah,Like, I didn't even get have bad
teachers. I'm friends with most ofthem on Facebook. I talked to them
for most of the time because Idid graduate with a kid. Most of
them were like, oh, ishe actually going to do something with his
life? So I understand where there'sgoing to be a disconnect there. But

(40:53):
it's interesting because so much of thatisn't oh, well, learn how to
be a human, it's learn howto recite and learn how to remember.
And it's like, guys, ninetypercent of this doesn't fucking matter the second
I walk out the door. Itdoes depends on the career field you're gonna
go for. Well, Like Isaid, I think it's just those skills

(41:13):
and the discipline and the comprehension thatyou develop. It's not like, oh,
I'm going to get pop Quiz,like someone's gonna pull a gun on
me and be like pop quiz whowrote this book? And what happened on
page thirty eight of What and whathappened on page thirty eight of Midsommer Night's
Dream. I don't know. I'mdead. No, it's not that.
It's like when you're reading anything online, an article, or you're trying to

(41:34):
type out something coherent, that thoseskills have been baked into. I think
the best way of like relating thisis cursive. You just learn it and
then like there's a big like waron cursive right now. It's like,
oh, it's useless. We're nevergoing to use cursive. We don't even
need to read it because someone's writingin it anymore. But it's still one
of those things like you're developing adifferent skill of different writing, and it
also like gives you different pattern records. To me, if it was all

(41:58):
skill based things like cursive, evenif it's eighty percent of the time you
don't use it, and it's somethingthat you could use or could be beneficial,
that is what school should be,not a squared plus B squared equals
C squared or reciting poetry lines.You know what I'm saying. It's weird
because so many of these things aren'tlike, oh, you learned a skill

(42:19):
that is valuable at some point orisn't valuable to ninety percent of people,
but it's valuable to these people inthis certain circumstance. How many people are
poetry and cursive as the same orit's just like it's more of like a
formal thing, like you write andcursive that's fancy, that's seen as proper,
much like how poems those are moreelevated in some kind of like English

(42:40):
sense where it's like, oh,this is a play. What kind of
poems did you learn? I learnedfucking haiku, which is the most not
dragging fucking level of poetry that youcould ever think of. I wish that
you accidentally did a haiku where it'slike most nut dragging level of poetry you
can think of. It's like,wow, you did it college. Yes,

(43:01):
yes, No, it's stupid though, because it's like that shit doesn't
matter. Being available to have likea group conversation and break something down is
what you should be learning in Englishclass. Why is poetry and haiku the
thing you learn in ninth and tenthgrade? I still don't understand. But

(43:22):
it's proper. It's it feels likethere's a different kind of elegance to it.
I don't know, it just itsounds all right, No, you're
good, you're good. It soundslike part of your like issues with like
the it's just like America's education systemas a whole, like how they how
they do stuff, and some thingsare like stuck in the past, and

(43:44):
some things are you know, they'retrying to Like like I when I was
in school, I remember cursive waslike heavily debated. I don't know how
much it is debated now, butlike they were like, yeah, computers
are the future, and so youknow, like all of a sudden,
computers were like the main focus,like typing class and stuff, and yeah,
I mean I can't remember the lastsummer wrote cursive. We had to

(44:06):
write our rough drafts incursive and thenretype them that they wouldn't accept papers and
essays and stuff if they weren't cursive, because that's how it's supposed to be
done. And then that's why.Then that changed about like eighth grade,
like we even had to write ourtest essays incursive and stuff like that.
I'm thirty, Like I'm not eventhat much older than you, right,

(44:30):
yeah, Like it's just it's insaneto see the slight differences and not only
what they do, but the levelthat they kind of look at. Yeah,
it's interesting. I think even likeEnglish classes Zach is kind of disagreeing
with it, shows that it hasa lot of value because like Zoomers,
these younger generations, they're always ontheir phones, they're not being respectful,
they don't want to learn, andwe could just see them being completely stupid

(44:52):
and irrational on Twitter and social media, and just like they have no social
disaction or capabilities. Is where itgets weird. It's like when we had
slang for things whether it's that's hot, that's the bop, what like whatever
level Before like twenty ten, noneof those phrases or terms really had a

(45:15):
basis in conversation beforehand. Why doesbet mean yes? And why does cap
mean lie? There is zero reasonthat any of this makes sense to me.
And it's just like guys, youguys are literally just using random phrases
that don't mean that at least thephrases that people used before were fucking retarded.

(45:37):
Still, Absolutely, I'm not disagreeing. I'm not saying that they're better.
I'm just saying that they didn't confusepeople because they understood what the fuck
you were talking about, like abogus g gnarally, Yeah, but were
they like top of sense? Werethey top of the line phrase? It

(45:57):
wasn't it wasn't use it every threesentences like we see with zoomers. Well,
what I was getting at is likezoomers are less literate, less intelligent,
and that's even that's because they werecompletely casting out the education system.
So even though one was like,oh, education systems flawed and you know,
we need a lot of work withit, it still has a lot
of value. And we could seethat and just how the younger generations that
are disrespectful they are just beyond stupid. Oh, they genuinely are. And

(46:22):
it's weird, Like, I don'tknow, I've come to terms with so
many fucking things in the past coupleof weeks, and uh, like when
you're introspective, it's normally how youshould be. But I was having a
conversation about IQ and stuff like that, Well, yeah, my IQ is

(46:43):
pretty high. Whatever. I wassupposed to skip two grades during school.
They were questioning it and they decidednot to do it. I was like,
yeah, I learned multiplication and cursiveand division before going into kindergarten,
so I knew all of it already. They're like, wait what. I
was like, Yeah, I wasfound profoundly gifted when I was going into
kindergarten. That's why they were goingto skip me ahead. I was so

(47:06):
far ahead of the class. They'rejust like, he can go, he
can read already, he already knowswhat he's going to do. We're gonna
skip him to like second grade.If I started in the school that I
finished kindergarten, I probably would havebeen skipped. But have you ever googled
what profoundly gifted means. Oh it'sIQ above one, and I'm just like,

(47:27):
fuck, mom, Mom, youcouldn't get me to apply myself because
where the fuck would I have been. It's just like my ADHD Mindset's like,
I could have done so much morethan just be a dude who tells
dick jokes and talks about mental illnesson fucking online. I could be doing
so much more with my life.She's like, fuck why. I'm just

(47:49):
like, now I feel like adouchebag because I googled what the fuck profoundly
gifted means, and now I reallyam smarter than every most people that I'm
in a room with. I'm like, fuck, wow, I'm a jackass.
Know. I felt that before intelligencewas was being able to do it
and figure it out yourself. BecauseI'm it was funny because we have like
talented and gifted. So I'm gifted, which is an IQ above one thirty,

(48:12):
and then they added in talented,which is like oh one fifteen.
I'm just like, well, theseidiots doing here? Why why did they?
Why did the tag programm exist?So you willing to be as smarties
in this gifted program. It's weirdbecause I thought that me being able to
perceive somebody was not as intelligent,or not as eloquent, or not as
in depth was in wasn't my intelligenceshowing. It was me being a douchebag

(48:37):
because I was picking up people whowere lower than average, and I'm like,
oh wait, no, most peoplethat I'm pointing that at are just
average. I'm like, fuck,I was a douchebag a lot of the
time. Then it changes the waythat you kind of perceive everything, and
that was weird for me. Iwas like, wait, why, So

(48:58):
I talked to my therapist about it, like shit, yeah, yep,
profoundly gifted's one forty five or above. Mike, Wait really, He's like,
yeah, well, why do youthink both of your kids are extremely
intelligent? Your baby's extremely intelligent?Exactly get it from you. You're on
that you know, autism spectrum withADHD and OCD and autism, and you're

(49:20):
just somewhere in there. You're oneof the people that overachieve, and if
you got the extra little help thatyou needed in certain cases, you would
have blown everybody's minds Like fuck,okay, thanks thanks for calling me autistic.
And I had to come to termswith that one. That one was
not as easy as I thought itwas going to be. Zach hit the
other side of like the IQ spectrumwhere it kind of loops around when you

(49:42):
get a little too smart. It'shard, man, it's suck it.
It makes you feel retarded genuinely indirectly, and you never found like your savant
talent unlucky Nope, Nope. Doingmath in your head while you're doing fifty
other different things is not a talent. So speaking of luxuries, Oh,

(50:04):
what day was June seventh, eighteenfifty nine, No fucking idea, you're
fucking You're just supposed to say Wednesdayor some shit, and that's like we
found it, We found Zach's talent. Nope. No, I have the
identic memory where if it's a conversationthat sticks in my mind, I can
normally tell you about like seventy fiveeighty percent of the conversations day. Damn.

(50:29):
What luxury do you take for grantedthat you would want for everyone?
I have my answer. If youwant it, I can go first.
I don't care. That's a onefor everyone. Okay, so about that
stuff, because more I'm more justlike kids these days, don't understand the
luxury compared to like growing up inthe nineties where it's like, bro,
you have a computer in your pocket. We didn't have computers forever. I

(50:51):
have. I have a great luxurythat would impact positively for everyone. It's
not like, oh, you couldhave steak for every dinner. It's not
like, oh, you could takea hot shower every day three times because
you have an endless water heater.I have one direct luxury that would impact
everybody positively, and there's stages toit. The first stage is going from
toilet paper to fucking wipes. Youdisgusting, fucking pigs. I am so

(51:15):
sick of everybody being fucking gross.Take the first step. No, no,
don't go wipes. Just go straightto the day which I have.
So I don't know like that luxurythat was. That was the second stage.
I was getting there. But youlike, if you have a sept
tank, you can't use wipes,even fleshable wipes will fuck your septic.
Most of us don't own houses.What are you talking about? Why do

(51:36):
you care about that shit? Itdoesn't fucking matter. You still use the
way. No, if I usewipes, I'm going to be I'm going
to owe my landlord, like eightthousand dollars. You can't. I'm not
going to put ship in the ina trash can next to toilet. In
the amount of no, in theamount of times that you've lived in rentals,
which was since you were like,what twenty somewhere around there, how

(52:00):
many times have you seen a septictank pumped? I don't care. I'm
not gonna fuck the septic I don'tcare. That's my point is I've yet,
too since I was seventeen see aseptic tank pumped. I've seen one
my entire life. So honestly,I think they're either all fucked and it's
not because of the wipes, orit's not actually a problem. They're just

(52:22):
bitching and complaining because it makes theirjob harder. So guess what wipes.
Step one, use them fucking grossmotherfuckers. Stop finger popping your booty hole
as you're wiping. It's fucking gross. Second, get one of the cheap
days from fucking Walmart. They're fifteendollars and you never have to buy a

(52:43):
toilet paper again, you fucking weirdos. It's not complicated. They're fucking fantastic.
Second, upgrade to your life afterthe ninja thirsty get up a day.
They're like thirty bucks. It's fantastic. And I used to feel so
self conscious because of that shit,because I never felt clean enough. So

(53:05):
what's your guys's luxury you would wantfor the mass? Yeah, like I
said, I can't think about itfor the mask because I'm more just like
people would take for granted the luxurieswe didn't have growing up already, so
we don't like they don't deserve theluxuries to begin with. Well, I
think our generation is interesting in thatfact because we have layed such a different

(53:25):
kind of world. Like before us, there wasn't fucking internet in every home,
so as that generation went on,we all kind of grew. But
there is little life hacks that you'relike, oh, this made life easier
because this impacts this, and it'sa luxury because it's two dollars more than
everything else, But as a whole, you say, thousands of dollars if

(53:47):
you're just smart enough to do it. I guess I have a controversial one,
and it's it comes down to personalpreference. But I zero, like
zero sugar soda has got so good. I don't know why anybody drinks regular
soda anymore, like it's in likeregular soda is just I mean, it's

(54:07):
just just diet and zero sugar,like completely different taste. But it's definitely
controversial because I the last time Iaccidentally got zero sugar was like it ruined
my day. I was like,nope, this is different. I thought
I was getting Baba blasts. It'sbob blast zero sugar. It's worse,
and I can't go back to this. They're horrible, Like two years ago,

(54:30):
the Mountain New ones suck. They'refucking horrible. So it's not one
to one exchange. Pepper zero sugaris just as good as normal doctor pepper
in all of the flavors, andcherry pepsi zero sugar is better than zero
sugar normal sugar pepsi. But it'svery very selective. I do agree,

(54:52):
though it depends on this. Yeah, it definitely depends on the soda.
But I mean, I when Iwas on the track team in high school,
the track coaches like I better notsee anybody drinking regular soda, and
then so I stopped drinking regular soda. I just never went back. And
so like seeing people just like downinglike half a two liter of mountain dew,

(55:13):
like for lunch. I'm just like, damn, bro, you're like
setting yourself up for failure. Iused to sew so much sugar. I
used to sell cans of soda atschool. So I used to drink soda
all the time because it was theonly thing that was in the house that
I actually liked. And I lovedhaving the bubbles, which is why I
got a sparkling water machine, nowmy second one. So I would bring

(55:35):
in three four cans of soda toschool and I'd sell them for four dollars
each so I could go home andthen buy another pack of soda. But
do you know how hard it wasto get that to be okay in school
and people to know without rubbing itand all the teacher faces. It was
weird. And I don't know ifthat was an actual thing that was going
on or me just being fucking anxious, but it seemed like having soda in

(55:59):
school was like on the level ofhaving weed. You just weren't allowed to
have it. And I didn't understandwhy. I'm like, wait, was
it really that pen or am Ijust retarded? Because this makes no sense
as I'm saying it, But Iwas so afraid to have soda in my
backpack. It was like they weregonna take it or throw it away,
and I'm like, what the fucknow looking back up, like I was

(56:20):
stupid. I don't know the schoolsI went to, like you'd get detention
if you brought soda in Okay,So I'm not I'm not crazy that.
Yeah, you're crazy like in thatgray area that's contraband, like conand can
the same unless it is like weedand then you just go to jail.
Did you guys, have any anykids get caught for drug dealing or alcohol
in school? Oh? Yeah,I wouldn't know. I didn't run those

(56:42):
circles. I didn't either. Well, the alcohol one they were a part
of my circle. The drug onethey were not. Yeah, so in
my world, like they get takenaway and I don't hear it about it
and no one talks about it,so I wouldn't know. So both of
them happened in my ninth grade year. And the drug one was the weird
one. Surprisingly, you would expectthe alcohol to be the weird one.

(57:05):
It wasn't, at least to be. So the drug one, they got
caught selling pills back and forth acrossin school. They were not adderall,
they were not riddling, they werenot anything positive. It was the more
extreme pills and stuff like that.And uh, it was half of the
soccer team. The thing our schoolwas known for. Oh, our soccer

(57:30):
team is always the best. Halfof our team goes down with drug dealing.
Literally a week into school they hadlike five or six kids get suspended
for a month because of dealing drugson school grounds and having pills on school
grounds. And that was so itwas so weird to me because I'm like,
wait, it is here, likedrugs are happening. And I was

(57:54):
like, wait, it's not youknow, in the grimy, shitty parts
of town. It's everywhere. Andthat was weird. It was really fucking
weird to kind of just see thatchange. And then the alcohol thing happened
right afterwards. It was that wasweird too, though I would never hear
about it, like just being oneperson. Sorry, my dog is barking.

(58:15):
I don't know, you guys hearthat. That's fine. Yeah,
yeah, ever one second, yep, the alcohol one that was weird too.
So I had my best friend.His name was Corey. Corey was
the biggest oddly shaped person you've everseen in your life. Sweet dude lost

(58:37):
all the weight now, but hewas like five ten and like four fifty.
He was a big fucking dude,and by the end of tenth grade
he decided to grow dreads and hewas white. So odd dude. Also
the same guys that I don't rememberif I told the story with you on

(58:58):
the episode of Our List, buthe was also told that he no he
was asked to go fuck a gothgirl in a graveyard. Same guy.
So he brought in a gatoraied bottleworth a vodka, and another girl brought
in a gatorade bottle and they mixedthem and then split it half in half,

(59:20):
and they've had two full bottles worthof vodka essentially, And they got
caught by second period and we hadblock scheduling, so it was in eighty
four minute classes, So in themiddle of our second class, they were
both pulled from class completely and theywere suspended, and everybody's like, wait,
where were you go? He gotsuspended for two months because he had

(59:42):
fucking alcohol on school grounds. Youwould think that that would be worse better
than selling pills on school grounds.It makes no fucking sense. So back
to what you were saying, younever really heard about drugs, you never
really were in those circles. II mean, I knew what was happening.
I'd never heard about it unless itwas like a group of people,

(01:00:02):
because like you know, once itbecomes like a circle of people doing things
like that, somebody opens their mouthsand no, they get caught. But
I don't know how many people are. It's like secretively putting vodka in a
water bottle. But I'm sure itwas happening, you know. Yeah,
it's weird though, like they legitimatelygot suspended from school for doing something that

(01:00:24):
I don't I don't understand how itimpacts the mass. And that's I think
where it is weird for school.If it's not impacting different people, getting
them help or seeing what the fuckis wrong is more impactful than suspending them
from school, you're not helping them. Well, I mean, I imagine
like counseling goes on top of that. No, our school, our school

(01:00:47):
suspension was you came into school atone o'clock, you left school at five
o'clock because you stayed after in aroom like its detention. That's it that's
what suspension. You sit in afucking hallway room and you do nothing other
than your school work. You justwere out of school for the time that

(01:01:07):
everybody else was there. It waslike segregation. Then well, I mean
then should go on to the parents. But that's probably not a good home
situation for the bringing in like alcoholand drugs, So that's not going to
get remedied. Then, like what'sthe other thing, Like you actually ruin
them their life and because they haveto like be registered as like underage drinking
and then they get like outside ofschool counseling or guidancewer juvie counseling is the

(01:01:30):
only answer. And it's like,well, suspending them doesn't help them.
It just makes it worse. It'sbecause you're giving them more to be suspended
for breaking such an negregious rule.Absolutely, but it's like the counseling should
be going with the the reprimand thereprimand of being suspended from school is a
vacation, Like I said, thenthe problem is to set that up like

(01:01:51):
now that shit's going on their permanentrecord and potentially just be like, oh,
what happened that you had like onlike resumes or background checks where it's
like, oh, you were fifteen, then you had to go to alcohol
counseling because like that's the only formalway of getting it set up. And
that looks like you already ruined yourlife more instead of like suspended, don't
fucking do it again. Well,that's there'sn't a bigger thing going on right

(01:02:13):
now with that exact thing actually,and with friend of the show Nick Crickata
love you Nick. Not going tosay anything negative, but that's where that
shit gets weird. He was justarrested and his house was rated by the
Minnesota police or something like that,and uh, he's facing a shit ton

(01:02:36):
of charges for drugs and possibly regardlessof what is going on, I'm just
trying to be vague with it,like he's losing and struggling with his kids
and his life as a whole.Drug rehab. If he's actually having a
problem with drugs is step one.The problem is is doing step one and

(01:02:57):
going to rehab effects getting your kidsback. And it's like a vicious fucking
cycle of the problem. It's like, Okay, well now I don't have
anything to live for, so party. Now when you party, you have
to go farther into rehab and gettinghelp, and then you're cycling yourself on
that. So let me just sayit this way, Nick, we hope
the best for you. We hopeto talk to you soon, buddy,

(01:03:19):
because shit's hell, I'm gonna standwith you until I know exactly what went
on, and I assume that that'sprobably not gonna happen. But I hope
the best for you. I knowBrayless does, even though he didn't get
a chance to meet you yet.But yeah, hopefully everything's good. Sure
did you hear about that? Yeah? No, it was sad. I
hope nothing but the best for himhe's giving us. I mean, like,

(01:03:43):
also, like what are you supposedto because then there's people that go
to rehab but then they relapse andthen like they never get fixed up anyway.
So I mean like there needs tobe consequences for actions. The consequences
are harsh, but the actions oftaking like severely illicit drugs and stuff is
also pretty harsh. Like I'm prettybig on just like don't break the law
on my bad. I am thesame. So let me say I have

(01:04:05):
like low tolerance for that stuff orjust like or you could just be a
good person to begin with. II've been straight out to my entire life.
I tried to delta to deal withmy nerve pain, and it worked.
That's the only thing I've tried.So let me be straight up and
honest with that. I don't evendrink. But I don't think the way
that we handle it as an illnessis the right way. I don't think

(01:04:28):
the way that we do things inthat circumstance is the right answer. I
don't. I don't think that howwe look at those things is the answer.
Oh, I'm sick, I'm mentallyill, I'm an addict. I
can never be healed. That isnot how you validate somebody enough to get
past their problem. That is justsaying that you have no control over it.
Therefore I'm always going to be afuck up. And that's exactly how

(01:04:49):
I see it. Yeah, Andthat's also why I think it's difficult,
because like you have to treat itlike that where it's like if I'm an
employer and I see that on someone'srecords, like they have chosen to be
a fuck up, and then likeexcept for like five percent of cases where
they like go clean and then theychange their entire life Around's like, I'm
not taking that gamble if I'm inthe position of hiring someone or like doing

(01:05:11):
some kind of review. So that'swhy I'm also just like, we are
handling it wrong, but there's noright way to handle it, because that
is a deliberate choice that someone tookin most cases. I had that conversation
with Richie from sixty days in andI asked them straight out. I was
like, why is the answer sayingthat, you know, we don't have
any power in ourselves, Why isthe answer, Oh, I have to

(01:05:33):
hold back to God. Why isit only religious that we can do to
beat this? Why are we givingout clean needles on the street and essentially
taking away the negative repercussions of this? Why why are we taking away every
negative from how you push yourself tobe a better person or be a more
complete individual. We're kind of takingaway humanity in that situation and putting it

(01:05:57):
on God. If you fuck upagain, was it that told you to
fuck up? Like, whether you'rereligious or not, that's a fucking weird
level to be because then you're acceptingthat the choice wasn't made by you,
So you're still flip flopping back andforth. It just it makes no sense
to me. It makes no senseto have that level to it. I

(01:06:17):
mean, I think hearing you talkabout this stuff really makes me think about
how how everybody is different, youknow, like everybody has a different viewpoint
on on stuff based off like theirchildhood because like my my I the reason
my parents split was because, likemy my real father had turned out to
be a meth head, and sogrowing up, you know, my outlook

(01:06:40):
on drugs was just like it ruinsfamilies, you know, likes Can I
ask a little bit about that oris it? Yes? Okay, no,
I'm gonna open the book. Sodid he ever try and get help?
Now? He didn't want help,like we I remember my mom saying
it was like up to him,you know, like it was totally up

(01:07:00):
to him if he wanted to tryand get helped. They had offered to
help him get help, but hedidn't. He didn't want to. So
did his choice? Did he heactually fully remove himself from your life?
Or was it forced? I thinkshe she gave him like chances, you
know, like it it would belike he would just all of a sudden

(01:07:24):
like not come home. And thenI would hear them marketing on the phone,
and then he would like be gonefor a few days, and it's
like he was probably on a benderor something. And he also was like
he was also addicted to gambling,so there was like that as well.
You know, yeah, but wella lot of those things are so drug
into the whole on dopamine searching,I'm trying to figure out how to feel,

(01:07:46):
Okay, I'm trying to feel ata different level than what I genuinely
do now that it's so it's hardto say that it's a disease, and
it's hard to say that that personis just broken and they'll always be like
that because you're taking away that levelof humanity. At some point, you

(01:08:06):
kind of have to be a humanand be like, hey I fucked up,
or hey I'm going to keep fuckingup. You're still making the choice.
You can't just say oh, I'msick. And I don't mean that
as a direct attack. I hopeyou don't see it as that, but
like as a whole, it's hard. It's hard because like, unless you're
going so far down the path thatyou're doing it daily, how many people

(01:08:30):
genuinely know that you do drugs.Not very many, not very many.
Think of how many people in yourlife right now that do drugs, Probably
multiply that by three, because that'show many actually do it. Yeah,
it's like, man, it's it'smore hidden than what most people understand,
and most people have a way tocontrol it, or at least are able

(01:08:53):
to exist while not controlling it.And meth is one of those weird ones,
Like it's a more direct, erraticthing that if you're not going so
far down the rabbit hole, you'rejust you know, existing in a faster
life almost So, how far didhe go down? Like we had a

(01:09:15):
method on a PK a couple ofweeks ago, and like, other than
him being extremely erratic, he seemedlike a normal guy. Yeah, I
mean I have I have no ideahow long he was doing it. And
I don't know if I've never askedmy mom, like if she had any
idea how long he was doing it. I just know that I was the

(01:09:35):
one who found like his he waslooking for like a codec for his old
codec, like disposable film bottles,and he was like, it's got my
medicine in it. If you findit, don't tell mom. And like
first thing I do because I'm likeseven, is like, oh I found
that's medicine. It's meth. Soit's like Jesus, you know, but
I don't I don't know. Ijust know that, uh. I mean

(01:09:58):
he was uh he was alignment,Like he worked on like the power lines
and stuff, so he made goodmoney. And so like hearing them talk
about how like you know, likeall the money's gone, I'm just like
WHOA, Like yeah, yeah,but I don't know. I mean,
I know one as far as likehe pretty much abandoned his three kids like

(01:10:20):
that the drug again, the drugsand gambling. Was was that bad for
him that he just stepped away fromeverything else? But was that a line
that your mom drew? And I'mnot asking that as like, oh,
I'm trying to hurt you. I'masking that as in, like a guy

(01:10:40):
to a guy, A lot oftimes in those situations, it's choose the
family or choose what you're doing,and there is no understanding at that point
you're drawing a line. You don'twant to get help, you need to
go away. I remember I rememberwhen I found the drugs and there was
like the huge ordeal about that thingsgot better for a short amount of time,

(01:11:04):
you know, because maybe yeah,yeah, it's the first confrontation,
so of course it's like a wakeup call, and then things progressively got
worse over the course of like Idon't know, six months after that,
and then like he just like kindof disappeared completely. Yeah, that's really
weird, man, I'm really sorry. I didn't. Oh no, I
mean that way, But like,did that impact how you handle things in

(01:11:29):
that in that realm? Obviously fora while you said you were a pretty
hard stanced on it, But didit affect you kind of exploring and being
a human in those aspects as yougrew up? Well, I mean I
had a I kind of have likea weird journey up. Sorry, I
think my wife's back with the kid. Let me just make sure the dogs
are got to be barking. Nope, you're good. Not And if I'm
if I'm squandering, just say somethingbecause I'm trying not to hold into the

(01:11:53):
conversation. No, no, honestly, with how much content and I did
I do, that's just like randomstuff like talking about myself and my actual
life is refreshing, So I don'tI don't mind at all. I mean,
so my parents split when I waslike seven or eight, and then
my mom remarried when I was,like I said, in like middle school,

(01:12:15):
and my stepfather like really like steppedup and like he like adopted us
and and uh like he really becamemy father figure, like seriously. And
he was in the Coast Guard,and so I joined the Coast Guard and
I served for six years, andpart of that was counter narcotics. And

(01:12:36):
so I think my stance on drugshas always been, like, you know,
it's it's illegal stuff, So Ijust you know, why why even
like like like you were saying,uh, like why even like if it's
illegal, I don't even like botherwith it? You know? Did you
did you question alcohol when you becametwenty one? Did you try it?
Like, did you feel a drag? I struggled with alcohol a little bit

(01:12:59):
because when I was in San Francisco, I did I did helicopter search and
rescue, and so there was alot of bridge jumpers and stuff, and
so I was exposed to a lotof like you know, death and body
recoveries and stuff. So alcohol wasdefinitely something that that I knew. I
was like it was easy for meto like go overboard with. But like
marijuana has been something that's that's helpedme a lot with like my anxiety and

(01:13:24):
like PTSD and stuff like I dosee the medicinal benefits to that, But
just like anything, it's it's moderation, right and being able to question yourself.
A lot of people genuinely can't andand it's really hard to see.
And you know, there's some peoplethat just go down the whole of I'm
gonna drink and I'm gonna I'm gonnasmoke, and I'm gonna do whatever drugs

(01:13:45):
and I'm gonna end up sleeping ona table because you know what happens,
and it's scary. And you know, first off, congratulations on actually making
it out a lot of people don'tdo that step by itself. But the
fact that you struggled with it showedthat it's actually a dopamine searching situation.

(01:14:09):
Yeah. I think it was alsothe same. Yeah, well, I
mean I know his family was wewent to visit like his whole family for
like a reunion like one time,and I just remember everybody was just like
drunk the whole time. Like theydefinitely all struggled with alcohol but I think
for me, the alcohol thing wasa lot of just like the military environment,

(01:14:30):
because that's the only thing you cando in the military is just drink
alcohol. And so that's like anytimepeople got off work, it was just
like, let's go get shit faceduntil we can't anymore because you know,
we have worked the next day.And so that environment, like as soon
as I turned twenty one, itwas like, oh, we have an
excuse to go get black out drugtonight, you know, and then like
right away, I'm just like doingthat all the time with my coworkers.

(01:14:53):
So definitely wasn't like a like Idon't know if I would have went down
that road as much as I didif I wasn't in the military, you
know. Yeah, And I thinkit's a very very easy road when it's
showcased to you as oh, wellthis is okay. It's weird when you

(01:15:13):
think of it that way. It'slike, oh, the military says that
this thing's acceptable. Yes, Andthe easiest dopamine that we're allowed to have,
Yeah, it's legal it strippers andalcohol. It's like, go have
fun, go get drunk. It'slike, oh, I'm eighteen, Oh
well, you show them your militaryidea and they kind of accept it.
And it's just like guys, guysNo twenty one always for everything, if

(01:15:39):
this is how we're going to treatit, because you know, it's sad,
but it's interesting to see. Ohyeah, I had the same struggle.
I had this struggle here that followedme here because you know, it's
not just a oh person a personthing. There's more than just trauma that
impacts that search for dopamine of like, oh, I want to do this,

(01:16:00):
I want to do that. It'skind of finding a way to have
a balance to Okay, I canhold myself accountable to this level. If
I can't hold myself accountable, Iget the fuck out of the situation.
And it's like a lot of peoplewith those addictions, like your dad,
like a lot of other people willkind of just dive into them face first,
or or they'll make themselves a functioningaddict. My aunt, she runs

(01:16:26):
a cleaning business, which is thesketchiest thing for an addict, honestly.
And I said this from day one, and she ended up coming over to
my mom's house when we were livingtogether, and she lost her drugs in
my house and I lost my fuckingmind, Like I have two kids running
around, and you're like, oh, yeah, I lost my medication bottle.

(01:16:48):
And I looked at her and said, well, what is it.
She's like, well, it's cocaine. Why the fuck did you bring cocaine
into my house? I was I'mthoroughly surprised that this conversation didn't happen with
anybody else in this situation. I'mtwenty, but I'm going to have this

(01:17:09):
conversation now and I'm going to losemy fucking mind. Yeah, And she's
like, yeah, well it's yourmother's birthday. I said, and you
do cocaine? Do you think mymom does cocaine? Like what the fuck
are we talking about here? There'stwo little kids in the house that are
mine and my sister who's not mucholder, and then you have my middle

(01:17:30):
sister who's fucking what fourteen fifteen atthe time, Like, what the fuck
is wrong with you that you can'tgo so far as oh, I'm going
to go enjoy time with other people? That fucking cocaine is your answer.
She's like, well, I didn'tneed a lection. I don't care if
you need it, Like you actuallyneeded this lecture because you have no fucking

(01:17:54):
awareness. She then kind of pushedit, and she's like, so as
a whole, Zach, all ofyour aunts come to your house and do
this. They'll go into your bathroom, they'll use the back of your toilet,
and they'll do this. Okay,First off, now none of you
are welcome in my life. Letme just let me just fucking say it

(01:18:15):
outward. And it's just like,second off, now I'm looking for a
pill bottle with a razor blade andfucking cocaine in it because you wanted to
lose it in my house where there'stwo little kids in it and they can
pick something up and run wherever thefuck they please. What the fuck is

(01:18:35):
wrong with you? Yeah, that'sfucked up. Yeah, deflecting blame,
not taking accountability. It's like man, people. Oh. She then how
she was was she would get drunklike two or three times a month,
and that time when she was drunk, she expected everyone else to keep her

(01:18:55):
entertained while she was coked up anddrunk because she would get drunk and then
do cocaine, and then get drunkand do cocaine. And it was like
two or three days and she wouldsit on the phone with whoever would answer
the phone first for the next eightto ten hours of absolutely mind numbing,

(01:19:16):
horrible, ridiculous conversations. Yep,and it's it's insane. So I understand
your point, man, It's hell, I had very very similar things happen.
So yeah, I mean people willsay, like, oh, I
don't have a problem. I cantake care of myself, but like,
like like your situation, like whenit becomes a problem for other people,

(01:19:40):
you have a problem, you know, yeah, oh yeah, you lost
your coke? Yeah, no,more people don't have that issue. So
honestly, what is that like apill bottle worth a coke? Like eight
hundred dollars? How often do youlose your phone? You fucking retard?
It's more dangerous than that. Yeah, I don't know, man, Like
it just it doesn't make sense.And it's sad because like, honestly,

(01:20:06):
she's the scumbag of the family.The aunt that she was talking about is
one of them that actually made somethingof herself, and I know she does
too, So as a whole,it's like, okay, So it impacts
so many people. It impacts alot of people in different ways and impacts
some people the same way. Bothof them do the same exact thing.
They'll sit on the phone with youfor eight to ten hours and hope that

(01:20:27):
you don't get mad and hang up, And it's just like, guys,
Nope, nope, I don't wantany of you in my life. I
don't want it. When I cameout against my mom and all of those
problems, she randomly commented high anddrunk on the on the YouTube video and
she's like, how could you speaknegatively of your mother? Blah blahlah blah
blah. Like that's why I didit because nobody else said that there was

(01:20:53):
a problem. That's why nobody elsewanted to hold anybody accountable. So I
got the brunt end of the stickbecause everybody now wants to say that I'm
the bad guy because now it's everybodyagainst me. It's crazy. Accountability sucks.
Cantability sucks when you're the only onethat has it. So, on

(01:21:15):
a much lighthearted topic, when doesbeing lighthearted and childish become weird for a
guy. That's a question I've beenthinking about because like, suddenly I became
thirty and I'm still playing Pokemon fora living, and I like being a
dork. But and I feel likeit seems like seems like that where is

(01:21:36):
that just me kind of coping andthat No, I think it's still not
acceptable, Like you'll still be alittle too weird. Like that's what I
mean. That's why I'm thinking about, like people have a different expectation Pokemon
and not changing. I understand wherethat would be weird, but being fun
and jovial and oh, watching cartoonson on Saturday morning at forty or thirty

(01:22:00):
weird. When we were watching FullHouse, they used to make fun of
Joey for this, like I'm notallowed to watch cartoons past like thirty.
How many guys that are thirty nowonly watch anime? Oh? All different
because like, no, no,no, that's definitely more mature, like
a kids show. Like if you'rewatching SpongeBob at thirty five, that's different
than watching like Attack on Titan.Yeah, that's the first thing. But

(01:22:23):
also watching SpongeBob at thirty five isdifferent than watching My Little Pony. My
Little Pony's fucking weird. Okay,same Bungebob has a lot of adult overtones.
So at what point does being lighthearted and joking and jovial about actually
not modern SpongeBob moder Spongebobs like dumbeddown. You see what I'm saying though,
was like now it seems like there'slevels to it, and I'm trying

(01:22:43):
not to be coping because Rin andStimpy was made for adults. So I
mean, like a thirty year watchingRin Stimpy when first came out, that
was fun. I think it's it'slike, yeah, it depends on the
cartoon, but a lot of cartoonsare skewing a lot younger and a lot
more dumb down. But it's weirdnow Now it's weird. We have thirty
year olds playing Pokemon and video gamesall day, every day pretty much.
I mean they were doing that backin two thousand and five, where like
you go to a cart shop andthere's like two sweaty old dudes, but

(01:23:06):
now it's not like there're two sweatyold dudes. Now there's fifteen or twenty
people there every day, all dayand it's different now. So is it
still wrong? Is it's still notokay? Or is it They're just a
point where it's no longer weird thatit's but it's definitely not not weird.
It's not as weird. It seemslike that a bit. It seems like

(01:23:29):
it's more acceptable. It's just weird. It's weird to kind of look at
and be like, oh, youknow, the biggest demographic for toy purchases
is actually twenty five to thirty five, not for children. I mean that's
also adults buying it for their kidsor depending on when they come to money.
Yeah, it's also to U twentyfive to thirty five year old finally

(01:23:55):
getting the things from their childhood theywanted. Yeah, except that's not going
to be that's going to be likesecond during market in a lot of cases,
I know, not from what statisticsare showing. They're showcasing that our
our demographic purchases toys more and forself more. But is it actually showing
like for singles, like is asingle person. I need to see those

(01:24:15):
actual facts because my life inside ofPokemon is Pokemon Sor and Shield has sold
twenty six million copies. But Iknow that's more kids than adults. I
mean also, like you, itprobably depends on what it is, you
know, Like I mean there's becauseI have friends, you get they have
like a room like dedicated to likeyou know, Marvel action figures and stuff,

(01:24:40):
but those are like collectibles. LikeI know there's some people who buy
toys because they're expecting it to Ifeel like it's so much less likely for
something like that to gain value,Like it's they make so much more,
they make so many more toys now, you know, than they than they
did. I feel like when itcomes to that kind of stuff, But
like maybe it's an excuse for somepeople. Oh it's a collectible, but
you know they're really just like hoardingthese toys because it didn't like that.

(01:25:03):
I want the I want the graphor like the actual like chart of this,
because Zach post, I'm looking nearlyyeah, nearly half, so forty
three percent of adults purchased a toyfor themselves in the past year for a
number of reasons, collecting, socialization, enjoyment, but I mean, like
just a toy. Like it's maybeit says adults account for more more toy

(01:25:25):
sales than preschoolers. Well, I'mtrying to find the graph currently, but
one that I actually say, Okay, well this actually looks like it's making
sense. And you know, obviouslythere's also as a toy because there's definitely
like adult collectibles when the Star Warsfigure is three hundred dollars. Like,
yes, an absolute adult that watchedStar Wars back in the when it came

(01:25:46):
out. And so here's another one. Fifty eight percent of parents report buying
toys for themselves, so that's alsoa trend as well. Let's still go
to be a majority of the kidsthe Toy Associated Assay. The Toy Association
first identified this trend catering to adultsadults consumers and not just for kids trend

(01:26:12):
at the start of twenty twenty one. Bloomberg included the results of an Association
survey of more than two thousand parentsacross the US and found that fifty eight
percent report buying toys and games forthemselves and not just their kids. So
it's also involving yourself within the thingsthat you're giving your kids as well.
I assume of the types of toysand games parents reportedly purchased for themselves,

(01:26:32):
board games and board games ranking thehighest sixty five percent, followed by immediately
discounts. It then because even adultsone percent, collectibles fifty three percent,
and video games fifty three percent,so they're also including video games, which
is why statistic means doesn't mean like, that's why I don't trust this because
like, oh, a toy,Well, now you just account for everyone,
including the weirdo that's only buying stufffor themselves in those like five percent.

(01:26:55):
And then board games yatzi that thatthat's not a kid's thing. Or
monopoly. Oh you got to replacethe monopoly because you're having game night with
and like your wine night, okaywith all of your adults friends. And
then video games. I buy Oldenring. I'm a top ten most popular
toys for adults, tenth PRISM NFLtrading card. Uh count as toys now

(01:27:18):
the whole thing is bullshit nine SquishMellow plus eleven inch assortment eight NFL trading
cards. Again, obviously people tryingto find signatures and stuff like that.
I would assume Pokemon, scarletton viaPaldeian Fates, Squish Mellow plus assortment,
icons, tiny plans, I don'tknow what the fuck that is icon Bouquet

(01:27:42):
of roses. Uh, Squish Mellowsixteen inch assortment, Number two hot Wheel
singles and number one Squish Mellow Plusheight inch assortment. I mean hot wheels.
The adults are buying those in thenineties and eighties to collect those.
I mean, like, yeah,see, it's all bullshit. It's not
like, oh, adults are buyingkid things. It's like, no,
they're widening what a kid's thing is, and it's the same shit they've always

(01:28:02):
been buying. Like yeah, don'tbuying beanie babies in the nineties that I
thought it was going to go up. So it seems like the things that
we're kind of holding on to andwe're buying still are the things that we
still bought as kids. We stillbought packs of Pokemon cards. We went
from buying one pack to buying thirtysix of them. That that's the difference

(01:28:25):
is we went from buying one packat five to being twenty five and buying
thirty six packs at the same time. That's the difference. But the thing
is is our age in twenty years, we went from buying one to thirty
six of them. I mean,I think it makes sense that, you
know, like adults obviously are goingto spend more money on those things because
they can. But like it's sucha hard thing to like quantify. Yeah,

(01:28:47):
I think say like kid don't isjust wrong. I've never heard that
term before me either. I thinkthey're just kind of I mean that what
this is supposed to be our houseNostalgic adult fans are passionate and engaged in
the brands that they love, especiallyonce from their childhood, and the ones
that they loved exist in our childhood. Yes, but the characters that squish

(01:29:12):
mellows are the like licensed ones likePokemon or things. And also, like,
how much is this sorting out forlike singles or parents or something,
because like squish Melow is being abig purchase like that, like that has
to be for kids, Like they'rebuying it for their kids, not always,
not always, I know, butlike the result isn't going to be
cuddling a squish mallow. And that'sif that's number one, then that means

(01:29:32):
buying a booster box of Pokemon cardsis like so shoved down. That's like,
oh, there's a different weirdness thatwe're not touching on. Like it's
it's just the data is fucked.The data cannot determine anything that makes sense
from this. Oh yeah, thereis much more littles now than there was
in nineteen fifty. Let's just statethat. Being a little in nineteen fifty

(01:29:55):
and running around as a thirty yearold woman sucking on a binkie that didn't
happen nineteen fifty. That happens happensnow, but it does happen. It
does happen. Those motherfuckers probably buysquish mellows and they're probably the weird edge
of furris. But so, aLego group spokesman told the Cagos for collectors

(01:30:16):
because they grow up and say,oh, that sets a thousand dollars now,
so I'm gonna buy three of themnow than I'm an adult. Eighty
eight percent of grown up respondents playedwith Lego products to help them relax,
eighty nine percent of them help saidit help them stay mentally sharp, and
ninety percent of them said it helpedthem be more creative. That part I
don't fucking agree with. There isno fucking way that you guys are just

(01:30:36):
randomly building Lego houses and being likeher her. Yeah, I played with
the entire box of Legos. You'rebuying the sets, you fucking weird.
I stop saying you're being creative.You're following instructions gold build your ikea furniture
like a normal adult. Oh mygod, akia furniture is cheaper. We're

(01:30:56):
excited. More and more adults areplaying and building with legos inspired by play
experiences that align with their passions,like automotives, sports, entertainment, and
crafts, especially our botanical range.We can enjoy in the mindfulness that comes
with manual tasks like building lego bricks. Motherfucker, let me just say this.

(01:31:16):
If hypothetical single Zach walked into agirl's house and instead of real plants,
they had fucking lego plants everywhere,I would walk the fuck back out
of the house right the second Iwalked into it. I think your no
fucking way, I think like thewhole like that would they? They said,
like the botanical Like that's actually andthat's more adult skewed. No,

(01:31:40):
like botanical is huge. You'd besurprised, like how many plants they have
and how many people are buying it? Yes, but are guys buying it
or are females buying it? Itdoesn't I mean it doesn't matter, Like
so what women are buying it?They're still adults, they still count and
they're half the population in the demographic. What I'm saying is is men making
lego things like making the Hogwarts castleor whatever they have straight up machines.

(01:32:05):
You can build a robot out ofLegos. That's just like building a robot
as an adult in the nineties,we wired if you walked in. But
I think it's just as much ofan ick for female to walk into a
guy's house and there to be Legoson a shelf behind their TV as it
would be for you walking into ahouse and seeing Lego roses put on men.

(01:32:25):
No, I'd be like, Yo, that's cool. They do crafts.
That's just crafts instead of like scrapbooking. They're making Lego plants.
It's the same thing that happened innineties. It's not a kid adult it's
not a kid product. It's madeI agree with you completely. I agree.
I'm just saying like, oh,you know how to make things.
That's neat. I find that interesting. And it's like this rose actually looks
cool. Tell me about this Legosaid, I didn't know about. It's

(01:32:45):
a legitimate hobby, and I couldsee that. I just think it's an
adult hobby that's legitimate. It's nota toy at that point. Yeah,
I don't. I don't think legosat this point with all the kids are
for kids. I don't think thekids are for kids at all. Yeah,
but it's flying kids still. Yeah, I think it's an adult buying

(01:33:05):
an adult thing that's schemed as akid thing. Just like model cars back
in the day. How many fuckingmodel cars were in the toy aisles when
you walked into fucking Walmart back inthe day. You really think that those
were for kids. I started buildingthem and then I was like, wait,
this is really fucking pouring. Idon't want to do this anymore.
Did you guys do that? Like, oh, I'm going to build a

(01:33:26):
model car today. I like that. I did that once or twice,
like a like an actual model car, like from like the classic ones that
together glue together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did that a few
times. Like this, This shit'scool as fuck. Oh I'm not saying
it's not cool. Then why wouldyou be offended if a girl had one
cactus in the corner. Now theyhave like a lego cactus that looks pretty

(01:33:48):
neat. What I'm saying is thegarden. I if I walked into a
girl's house when I saw a plantthere, I'd be like, Okay,
she probably doesn't take care of it. And it's like half dead more than
likely. But if I walked inand I saw a big ass fucking ficus
that was made out of legos,I would be like, why the fuck
is there a ficus lego here inthe corner of your room. See to
me, it's the other way aroundwhere it's just like, oh, you

(01:34:10):
have them. You just got someplants, both of them. To me,
are weird You've built this product Ididn't even know existed. That's kind
of cool that that part of it. Yes, I would ask more about
the legos. I'm not saying you'rewrong there. I'm just saying as a
whole, if I walked in andsaw a bouquet of lego roses and stud
of normal roses, I would beconfused. I'd be sort of uncomfortable because

(01:34:33):
it's like you're trying to be jokyabout it, but at the same time,
you know, there put that legoimage on screen so everyone can just
say you're wrong. Okay, yep. I never said I wasn't wrong,
never said I wasn't wrong. Idon't care. I want the comments to
tell you you're wrong, because that'sthe coolest thing I've seen all day.
I literally I got my mom oneof those, like not not one of

(01:34:56):
those specific ones, but like Imean, she's a teacher, so like
it's you know, fair classroom whatever. But I don't I think there's a
difference between like showing up and it'slike, oh, there's some like Lego
things here and there, and likeyou know, they have like a room
dedicated to Legos and it's like legoseverywhere, and you sit down on the
couch and you're like sitting on Legopieces. Like there's a difference. No,

(01:35:16):
That's what I'm saying is like itseems like as a whole kid adults
are becoming more common across both genders. I don't consider this a kid thing.
This is no. We we uselegos as kids, so we then
held on to Legos as adults.Is what happened. Lego's cooler now as
an adulting kids with all this stuff, I think the products have also upgraded

(01:35:40):
to be more Yeah, that's mypoint. That's my point obviously, that
which is why more adults are buyingkid kid they're classification of kid things.
It played Pokemon, shit, thisis better. Yeah, we we played
Pokemon TCG, we played U gO TCG, and both of them have
had our resurgence in the past coupleof years. It's not just kids buying
it, it's us buying it aswell, or there wouldn't have been as

(01:36:03):
high of a resurgence. I disagreeon that because I think the general trend
is like there's just more kids andeveryone has a smartphone. No, that's
right. Yeah, child birth rate'sgoing down, Bud, there's not more.
There's still but there's still like moreunder eighteen now than they're were in
the nineties. Right, There's gotto or at least like some kind of
financial accessibility from all this, becausewith like more people are playing games on

(01:36:26):
Steam, it's like, well,why weren't more kids playing games? Because
more generations are playing I think aroundgenerations. I think it's expanded around kids
because now they're adding, they're addingnext generation instead of you know, trying
to catch the people that were behindbecause again baby booming us and stuff too.

(01:36:51):
But yeah, I thought that wasinteresting because you know, there is
correlation to it. It's interesting.M hm. Oh. Here, toy
sales dropped one percent from January throughApril year after year, but they're thirty
eight percent higher than twenty nineteen.Yeah, it's because like COVID, everyone's

(01:37:14):
letting in their COVID spending still nowthirty eight percent higher does not make sense
if it's still from COVID, itdoes, I think because like again,
like I said, like it's justbeen going up for everything, Like it
might be just more people holding onto it, but I think it's more
people interacting and purchasing or purchasing thethings to hold on And that kind of

(01:37:40):
goes to this. This was fromFebruary. Uh, this link right here.
So everybody says Call of Duty's dying. Everybody says that, you know,
this thing's falling apart and it's goingto fall. Top ten games played
on PlayStation five, ranked by monthlyactive users, Call of Duty was number
two, behind Fortnite. The onlygame that is ahead of it is Fortnite.

(01:38:09):
It's crazy. Oh wait, youmight say that's a PlayStation only problem.
No, Call of Duty was numbertwo. It even passed Pow World
and then also year to year physicalgame data as a whole. The only
game that is in front of Callof Duty, Modern Warfare three as of
February, is held Diverse two.Yeah. I found an actually interesting chart

(01:38:35):
a percentage of children in the USpopulation. So in the nineties it was
sixty three million, two thousand,seventy two million, twenty ten seventy four
million, twenty twenty seventy three million, So it has gone up a little
bit. But I also think thereis just more kids that are like participating
now because every kid has a smartphone. Back in two thousand and twenty ten,
not everyone even had internet, soless than kids successful is that?

(01:38:59):
And then and I don't know ifthis is me kind of looking at it
and seeing it happen so often then, and it wasn't really often, but
it seemed like a lot of fortyand fifty year olds were dying quickly then,
like they just either got sick anddied, or like there was more
mortality then in the nineties and earlytwo thousands, a lot of like cardiovascular

(01:39:20):
disease for the boomers. Yeah,so to me, it seems like us
being alive in our thirties and forties, there's not as much of a drop
off with those people falling off.So once again, you're introducing generations that
are more solidified and still solidified inthe things that are for sale, like
the generation before us can buy onepack of Lincoln logs and that sustains them

(01:39:45):
for their entire life. We're buyingspecific things for specific brands that we enjoy
that change yearly. Yeah, likeI said, because the products are just
better. Yeah, exactly. Twoadults and their growers. Yeah, and
the kid things are still part ofthose things. So it's cycling with itself
and growing it massively. But Idon't think we still have answered the question

(01:40:09):
of when does being lighthearted and childishbecome weird. I don't think it's thirty
anymore. I don't think it's thirty. I don't think it's it's thirty at
all. I think there's a spectrumof how child is weird too, Like
you were saying, there's the extremecase where it's like somebody wearing a diaper
and having a banky and they're fortyyears old, Like that's pretty rare,

(01:40:29):
that's gross, That's that's weird.Yeah, as a whole always, But
like in normal terms, there isthings that are not there in the nineties,
at least more accessible. There's toysand cartoons and shows that are made
in that vein that are for us. So it's not weird anymore to me,
at least, I don't I don'tknow how many. I'm weird,

(01:40:54):
how many how many dudes still watchwrestling at forty fifty years old. They
know it's fake, but they enjoythe story That's not like kids and toys
stuff. It's made for adults.When you have like this big old dude
beaten up on another person, it'smade for teenagers. But yeah, I
understand adults like it back in theeighties and nineties, Like the storyline are

(01:41:16):
for adults, and then the actionand interaction of people is for kids.
You see people like John Cena blowup at the beginning for adults, and
then when he becomes Super Sena andeverybody wants a colored shirt that was for
kids. Like, there's different levelsto it. So it's like, Okay,
Superman fights, but you have aSuperman tattooed. You know what I'm

(01:41:39):
saying, That stuff that's not jovialkids stuff. At that point, I
know that that's my point though,we're holding on to the supposed to be
an adult that has like childish gleeand emotion. Still, I don't think
there's too much more acceptance a littlebit, yeah, because just of how
like online culture is warped society andstuff. But it's not like you can
be a kid forever. No,I don't. I don't think being a

(01:42:02):
kid forever is a thing anymore anyway. But I do think that there's more
availability to the people that weren't therebefore. I don't know. I don't
know. Maybe it's just me becauseI'm deranged and play video games still that
I'm like, yeah, you knowit has to be that way, But
it seems like most guys still don'tgive it up. Is it weird?

(01:42:24):
I don't think it's weird. Idon't think it's weird to still play video
games. I didn't think it wasyour day one. I still don't.
But again, like as we saw, like some of the video games just
kind of as toys, like Callof Duty is not a kid's game.
You're shooting them killing people, andlike you play then to your technically,
like war simulation as a thirty yearold is not a kid like carrying kid
behavior into your adulthood. Well,you know, normal adult behavior at thirty

(01:42:47):
is deciding if you're going to goon a World War two doc binge or
if you're going to learn how tosmoke meets. That's the only choice that
you're allowed at thirty years old asa man. You gotta choose one.
We're both, but you have tochoose one of them. Which one?
Did you guys? Choose? Danny? You gotta you gotta make your decisions
soon. So that wait, Iguess some of the smoked meats, I

(01:43:09):
don't know, not dope. Yeah, but what can I do both?
You can do both. You justhave to choose one of them. It's
a it's a minimum game. Yougotta choose that least one. Burlis went
back and never mind, I'm notmaking that trip, all right? What

(01:43:30):
hugely popular food? Do you guyshate that everyone loves tomato? Pickles,
tomato, tomatoes? Do you notyou don't like tomatoes? Do you not
like tomato soup or spaghetti or likeanything with tomatoes? Or is it just
a texture? I don't like tomatoes. I don't like them as like an

(01:43:53):
extra topping. Like I'm not gonnalike go out of my way to put
tomatoes normal. That's absolutely normal.But like I know people who legitimately eat
tomatoes like apples. I could neverknow. Those people are weird? Yeah,
the people are weird, Yeah weird. This is a coin flip one
I cannot stand mayonnaise. I cannotstand the smell of it. I cannot

(01:44:15):
stand the texture of it. Itis fucking gross, unnutral on mayonnaise.
Sometimes I'm just like, no's theworst thing. I don't want it.
Other times like it worked and itelevated the food I had, Like I
grew up with people dipping French friesin mayonnaise instead of catching up or barbecue
sauce. Yeah, I know that'sa New England that's on commercial, Like
that's the whole thing. Yeah,but I mean people put it on hot

(01:44:39):
dogsnonnaise gross, fucking gross, andpickles anything with vinegar. I don't do.
The other thing is a big one, and I should have brought this
up when Harley was here. Idon't fucking like bacon. I don't like
bacon at all. I don't likeanything. Everything you've said in every episode
of this point is immediately discuss Idon't like I don't like the smell of

(01:45:03):
maple, and the texture of baconwhen I've had it is gross, which
is the problem. I probably couldcook bacon myself and I probably would like,
don't get a maple smoked, likefake smoke maple flavor bacon and then
just just get like natural bacon andcook it to a texture you feel as
appropriate. Yeah, you can cookit to your liking. Yeah, it

(01:45:25):
could be dragged. That's me beingunderstanding and saying, Okay, I probably
just didn't like the way it wasgiven to me, but I don't.
As of this point, I havenot had it and liked it so far.
But yeah, I thought that wasinteresting because you know, there are
some things that some people are like, that's fucking gross. The other thing

(01:45:45):
pineapple on pizza. If it's notfucking Italian, it doesn't fucking go on
pizza. You fucking are just wrong. Cheese and citrus doesn't We'll not citrus
being like that sharp fruit flavor doesn'tbelong. I don't like mixing like sweet
spicy. I like it being oneor the other. Like so what like

(01:46:09):
there's a sandwich, uh, burgerking worst fucking fast food restaurant, fight
me. I will prove you wrong. We've we've all the internet's agreed on
this Q short from you know threeyears ago when Burlis agreed and we all
called it out at one and literallydrop of the dime, all of us

(01:46:30):
burger king Yeah, like oh,what's the worst of fast food place,
and then like everyone at the sametime just said burger king without any rehearsal
or any nobody. Nobody thought aboutit. It was just randomly brought up.
They have this chicken sandwich that isthe spicy chicken sandwich, and you
can be like, okay, soit's buffalo chicken. Get that the fuck
out of your mind. It's wrong. It's absolutely fucking wrong. They smother

(01:46:54):
this thing and fucking brown sugar andthen coat it with fucking normal, basic
bitch hot sauce. It is moresweet than it is spicy, and that
is disgusting sweet and spicy. DNow I think, like, well,
it depends because I don't like likea sweet and sour sauce. But if
you just have like Taraaki, Tarakihas that umami's sweetness with a little bit

(01:47:15):
of savoriness like Japanese. I don'tlike sau You're just wrong. No,
I haven't found to taraiaki. Ilike, let me just say it that
way. I'll opinio jam. Doyou ever try that? No, it
happened, I'd be with that.Yeah, I'd probably try that because it's
just bread, you know what I'msaying it's like, what are you putting

(01:47:35):
jam on other than a piece oftoast or something like that. Yeah,
at the end of the day,it's like a topping. It's not like
how the whole thing tastes. Notto me, I might try that like
the other thing as far as toastcoast top to your toast topping, put
cream cheese on it like a bagel, and then take some cinnamon sugar and

(01:47:57):
sprinkle that shit on top of it. That's the best way to toast.
Mhm. You never had cinnamon toastas a kid for breakfast and just cream
cheese. Yeah, that cheese,but a butter makes it stick and you
don't taste the butter. The creamcheese is like you're eating a cinnamon raisin
bagel. It's fucking fantastic. Soway to upgrade it. I had to

(01:48:19):
find millions of ways to use breadback in the day, because you know,
sometimes there was only thing that wasthere was bread. Okay, So
I have a link here for you. No, I hate that this is
not a link. It's one ofthose little tabby things. I have a
link for you. You get tochoose one of these stories and I will
tell the only one you could notchoose is number one, but I have
to have them in order that wayI don't lose them. Feel free to

(01:48:42):
choose one of those and I willtell the story as we end the podcast.
But yeah, no, that's myfavorite way to have toast is using
cream, cheese, and cinnamon toast. There's a lot of stuff there to
look at. Yep, Zak hasmany stories where I've been. I need
to add more. I like fortyfifty more from back in the day,

(01:49:05):
and like forty or fifty more fromthe past four years because I haven't added
any. Okay, I'm gonna pickthe one that looks like the most uninteresting.
What is first apartment? Is it? Like? Yeah, there's no
such interesting with Zach and his No. No, my life is fucking weird.

(01:49:25):
So I have to go back alittle bit beforehand. Mom, if
you're watching, click off now it'snegative. But so I graduated high school
with a kid already, so havethat stance and understanding to the baseline of
things. So we were living inan apartment with my family. So it

(01:49:45):
was my mom, my stepdad,and my two sisters, me, my
girlfriend, and our baby and allof us were living there at the time.
And then I graduated high school andmy mom got offered to purchase one
of my parents trailer because they passedaway, and instead of putting us in
that trailer and letting us grow fromthere and them continue to buy a house

(01:50:09):
or whatever, they decided to moveinto it, which is fine, whatever,
that's the choice, but that's whatthey decided to do. That's where
it gets sucked up. Instead ofpaying the bills when they decided to make
that choice and staying with us forthe last two months of school, they
just stopped paying all of the bills, all of them. All of them
weren't paid. They said, Okay, well, Zach, you haven't til

(01:50:30):
October when the lease is up.We're not paying anything until that. After
that point, okay, graduated highschool in June, and I believe it
was like, yeah, it wasSeptember or October when we had to leave,
when court finally happened for me tobecome emancipated and my scumbag of a
sperm donor to be absolved of hisparental rights because as a man, you

(01:50:56):
may not know this, you arenot emancipated after having a child, and
a woman is a woman becomes anadult because they have a kid. A
man is not. You actually haveto emancipate yourself in those states. Dumb
little fucking thing. But then wemoved in with her parents for like two
or three months, and we weretrying to find our footing and stuff like
that, and they decided, okay, well we will we will pay the

(01:51:18):
first month and security for an apartmentfor you guys. That the way you
guys can move out on your ownand you guys can have your own place
and stuff like that. And thathappened in like January, and it was
weird. It was great. Itwas you know how like everything lines up
in life and you're just like,this needs, this thing needs to happen.

(01:51:42):
So my first house that I rememberis my grandparents' house on this specific
road and this specific little call theSack of houses. I got to move
into one of the houses near mygrandparents' old house. Like it was fuck,
that's a connection, Like that placecalled to me. It had to
be that place. And we gotthat apartment. We got the house that

(01:52:03):
was two houses down from my grandparents'house, the house that was my dream
to own, the house that Iwant to own. So that was cool,
and it's like okay, oh thatthe entire community knew me. They
remembered me back from when I wastwo or three years old before before my
grandparents moved. They remembered me stillcoming over from my aunt living in that

(01:52:27):
same call De Sack, so Istill had family there and stuff like that.
So I was accepted with like openarms. It was like, oh,
the protological son has returned. He'ssupposed to be part of this community.
So we move in. Oh,here's a couch, here, here's
oh Zach, come help us movethis sixty five inch TV. You can

(01:52:47):
have it for your bedroom. Likewe're moving into a little call De Sack
where all these people built businesses orlike we're heads of things and they're they're
just like we bought modular home andput them together so that way we had
this own little place. We're goingto upgrade you because you moved in and

(01:53:08):
then things got bad. So mylandlord was my lunch lady from when I
was a kid. She was thelunch lady that just hung out. And
it was like the stereotypical grandma thatwould just be like a weird and just
quirky and just kind of off,and you weren't really sure what was wrong
with her, but she was kind. We realized that the weird part was

(01:53:33):
fucking wine. This bitch was thebiggest wine drunk I've ever seen in my
fucking life. And her husband wasone of those stereotypical Polish people who only
makes jokes about Polish people. AndI didn't understand why Polish people made jokes

(01:53:54):
about Polish people. I didn't understandwhy they were looked down upon. Still
kind of really don't. So firstweird thing that happened he told me to
get in his golf cart and hedrove up to get the mail. So
we drove up, got the mail. He proceeded to drive me around the
entire town and that town called aSack and meet every other person that I

(01:54:17):
didn't know. This was like fourmonths into us living there. I already
essentially knew everybody. He went tothe far reaches of the cul de Sac
and made us meet those guys likethe little white house, white trash trailer
that was off to the side,that nobody talked to you. Just he's
like, you meet them now,okay whatever. Then about three months later

(01:54:43):
we realized something was weird. Inour lease. And obviously all states are
different in this. Don't take thisas legal advice for your state. This
is for New York. They wereallowed to enter our premises without warning.
That absolves the least right. Thatis an illegal lease. You cannot hold
that. That is breaking and entering. They entered our house and they're like,

(01:55:10):
okay, we're allowed to inspect yourapartment at any chance. And we
had a standalone trailer. Wasn't anapartment, but everything's called an apartment.
So they inspected our apartment monthly becausewe were under the age of eighteen,
and they decided that that was anequal way for us to be okay and

(01:55:30):
live there because it was our parents'trailer. And they fixed it up and
they're finally renting it out. Thenit got weirder. My girlfriend at the
time, my wife, had amental breakdown. We went through a huge
relationship turmoil, and she attempted andthey didn't like the fact that I called

(01:55:51):
the ambulance. They're like, well, we can't have ambulance this year.
What the fuck is your problem?Like, that's zero fucking compassion, you
whine mom, And uh, itgot weird. It got weird because that
wasn't the worst part. Them tellingme not to call an ambulance when somebody's

(01:56:15):
attempting suicide isn't the worst part.Then we go to my mom's this one
night, and we started getting Facebookmessages, what the fuck's your problem,
you fucking cow? What the fuck'syour problem, you fucking cunt? From
the daughter in law. All ofthese people have weird ass fucking names.
If I said their first name,some of them, if you're in the

(01:56:40):
circle, you'll know exactly who itis, because there's nobody that's ever been
named these things before. Ever,they get weird. So we pulled like
this call the act is essentially youwith like a tale that comes off the
end. So we pulled down thehill and go down our road, and

(01:57:01):
as we go around this corner,which is right before our driveway, all
of them come out to my parents'car and start banging on the windows,
calling my girlfriend a fucking cunt.Let me fist fights you, blah blah
blah blah blah. I have twobabies in the car. I have my
oldest who's just turning two at thispoint, and a baby who was just

(01:57:21):
born like four or five months ago. And I still have that spicy ghetto
streak in me of like, ifa fist fight's going down, you guys
are going in the house. I'llhandle this. My girlfriend's like, no,
just get in the house. Let'sall get in the house. Okay,
okay, we'll just get in thehouse. So we get in,

(01:57:45):
we pull up, you pull upto our trailer, and I get all
three of them inside. I goto get the baby a bottle, and
I hear bang as the door fullyfucking opens, our door to our pork
and I'm like, these motherfuckers arecoming up here, and I'm waiting for
a knock and I was going tohandle the problem. And before I even

(01:58:06):
moved, before a knock happened,before my girlfriend moved, before we even
fully reacted to the door being pushedand slammed open, they had their keys
in our door, and they brokeinto our apartment and started fucking arguing with
us, saying that they're a fuckingthat, my my girlfriend's a fucking cunt.

(01:58:27):
The wine drunk lunch lady that Ihad for all of my childhood breaks
into my house. So they're like, well, we're evicting you. Blah
blah blah blah, We're not goingto deal with a mental case in this
fucking this call to Sack was like, well, that's breaking a lease.
Are you going to pay us?Find an eviction notice? Do it?

(01:58:53):
Go do it. So they bringus to eviction court because we were at
this point they break into our house. I'm not paying you rent. Go
fuck yourself. You're not going tojust have open rights to my house whenever
the fuck you feel like, gofuck yourself. So just the husband goes

(01:59:18):
to court, which hilarious that youdon't go to court because you're a fucking
wine mom who's in control over everything. Hilarious, you don't have the balls
to do that. We go tocourt, he walks up. So I
gave them a full tank of fueloil. He didn't. He said it
was a present for our first apartment. He's like, we want you guys

(01:59:41):
to get off on the right foot. This will help you. Here's a
full tank of fuel for your apartment. Great. Oh no, you're on
a thousand dollars, say, elsthe fuck's your problem? What the fuck
is your problem? Oh? Theyalso six months of rent because we haven't
received rent any of these months.And I said, to your honor,

(02:00:08):
rent was received here, here,and here, here's the receipts. I
didn't pay this month because they saidthat they were evicting us and I'm not
going to pay for somewhere where theydon't want us. They broke into our
our apartment numerous times, told usthat we had to be available at any
time for them to walk into ourapartment. And he looks at them and
says, sir, is this right? He says absolutely not. I said,

(02:00:30):
really, bullshit. Here's here's thelease. Look it says it right
here. He said, uh,oh, so you have an unenforceable lease.
I'm releasing you from the lease.I'm releasing you from your your court
appointed. Oh, you have topay for this fuel oil that was a
gift. Because he brings receipts.You don't. You have no paper trail

(02:00:50):
of anything, because they paid youin cash like you asked them to.
You gave him receipts. You donot cross too, You do not cross
go, You do not collect youhundred dollars. Get the fuck out of
my house, Get the fuck outof my courthouse. You have three days,
