Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, hey there, welcome to another episode of Off

(00:03):
the Air, the weekly podcast from the Lynched Taco Boarding
Show on one on one one w j R R
in Orlando and Pat Lynch Taco Bob.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hey, somebody's asking what do I do to get the
Off the Air program?

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Just have them go to the JR Facebook page.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Right, We're live right now on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
I just want to make sure because I'm multitasking. Yeah, yeah,
what's up, dude.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Look who we got in the studio.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
There are more brown It's been a minute since we
spoke last week. Spoke you were a day away from
headed off to Vietnam that part, Yes, sir, just for
a trip for the hell of it.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yeah, just to look at things and stuff. And I
see some things and I understand a bunch of bunch
of things that I didn't understand.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
All right, well, we're gonna want to get into that
here in a few minutes, because we're both intrigued.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
By just I'm dying as.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Randomly picking Vietnam to go visit and for an extended
period of time as well. But first, congratulations are in order.
Look at that once you hold that up in front
of the camera. There so everybody can see it. Twenty
twenty five Employee of the Year for iHeartMedia here in
Central Florida. That would be Paramour Brown.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
They even put your real name on the plaque as well.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, aka aka Carl Brown.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Which is funny because normally you would think it would
be the other way around, where your your real your
government name would be listed and then the AKA Paramour.
But if you ask anybody around here that's known you
over god knows how many years, at this point, I
think that I may be one of the few people
Taco perhaps knew the first and last name anybody else, Yeah,

(01:39):
probably not right?

Speaker 4 (01:40):
No, yeah, yeah, yeah. People be asking about me, say, like,
who is cal Who didn't you see me? That's Paramore?
That's Paramore? Hey what it is?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
So I do like how you spotted that path that
normally it would be Carl Brown aka Paramore.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
But they flipped it. That's pretty smart.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
It totally makes sense. It's it's not it's not an
award error. There.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
That is a night.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Where are you gonna put that? Are you gonna take
that home? Or are you going to display that here?
Did you have an office yet? Have they given you
an office?

Speaker 4 (02:10):
No? But I got like three super super helpers that
are oh my god. Okay, I got Blondie, I got
the Boss, I got the Spanish girl that is my daughter,
and I just got a new one. Her name is Summer.
But I got to think of a nickname for and
I'm like, uh, she have a boyfriend. He's six y

(02:30):
five and she like five feet. I'm like, dude, what
is going on? But then again, hey, who am I judge?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Hold on?

Speaker 2 (02:39):
He has these nicknames for all these people, which is
so not PC nowadays.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
One of them, well, if anybody can relate, it should
be you, because everybody in your orbit, including you, has
a nickname.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Hey, I loo totally get that.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
But his nicknames that he uses in an office setting
to call a blonde haired girl blondie. And and now
is is Alexis is her name now? From Lecky? Now
it's boss woman? Yes, boss bullshit? No, no, no, no, she
is no, you called her Alexi.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Forever, I'll call her lecky, get licky, Micky Lecky, nicky Okay,
but no, now she's the boss now, I mean, like boom,
A couple of weeks ago, it happened. I'm like, damn.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Something with this award Employee of the Year. That two
different things that were pointed out because Pat I was
at the party. Pat couldn't make it because the timing,
you know, he gets, he gets up so darned early.
So I caught her onto a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
That would be the Christmas party from Monday night.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
One when he was up there, he was in tears
and he said, I can't Basically, I'll say it quicker,
he said, I can't believe that I'm crying.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
I haven't cried in years and whatever. I was tearing
up watching him get it. And then he came.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
We were talking and I'm like look and he's like yeah.
The other thing was said was and it's so true
at those parties when somebody wins Employee of the Year,
there's about twenty other people that are pissed off.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
What did they get it?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
They don't do this Johnny Magic from Excel and myself
and another person we're talking and said, nobody could get
upset that Paramore Brown won that because you do more
for all of these radio stations than anybody in this
business except for Rick Ever.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Probably well, I'll tell you right now, just based on
the what you got thrown at you on that backpack
drive early before the school year started, when this whole
room over here, this whole conference theater room over here
was filled literally to the roof with huge boxes of
supplies and backpacks. That was just here, Paramore. We need

(04:48):
these all brought in, Paramore, we need these moved, Paramore,
Hell bring them back in again. And you just took
that on and it's like.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
And it was all for too, which is very cool.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Just just is an example, a prime example of the
fabric you were made of and most deserving of employee
of the year. So we got folks here on Facebook
life congratulating you as well for more job well done.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Pat, even with you being as having a hard shell
like you do.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
I know you would.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Have if you would have seen him accepting that up
there and then a speech after, you might have teared up.
You would have definitely gotten goosebumps because it was just
so cool to see.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, probably because I would have had a few jamison
and maybe at that point that too. Yeah. So how
many drink couponts did they give this year too? But
you know, you're proaching other people's drinks.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
I never asked, but other people just said, hey, you
want this one because they.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
The automated, Yeah, automate and uh.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
But also I went up to order great place aloft
in downtown. That place does it to the nines. Man,
if you're ever looking for a place to stay with
with a pet, you have a dog, Downtown Land it's
a great place. Food was awesome and you know it's
dog friendly there. So was I gonna say, oh yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:11):
So I walked up.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I didn't even get coupons when I walked in, and
then uh, then I just walked up and ordered drinks.
That bartender just gave them to me without the tickets,
so I, you know, threw her some tip and I said,
don't worry, I'll be back.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Here's twenty and then and then no, and then uh.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
And then that was the second time I went up
with a free beer because I didn't have a coupon yet,
I said, don't worry, here's this for you, and I'll
find these coupons. So I tracked them down, I got
my two, and then other people gave me there so
worked out great.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
The truth. That is the truth, dude. I swear to god,
I haven't been to our company Christmas party in years,
but the last time I did go. I just distinctly
remember Taco. He asked me with a straight face before
the party, He goes, hey, do you think we could

(07:04):
find out what color tickets they're using for the drink
tickets and get some of those, you know, in advance
before we Telly.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Because this was a long time ago when they would
give you multiple drink tickets, more than just two.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
But that still wasn't enough. You said, we need to
find out what color the uh because you know they
just brought a roll or whatever you had down there
in promotions.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Right at that part, so you know what I'm saying.
But she had him special maide this year. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, she had dazzy.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah. Well yeah, because probably that you Loft.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Uh, I'm sure Aloft had him made up probably, yeah,
gave because it's just good classic.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah. Yeah, I don't drink, so I passed mine on.
I gave him. I gave my I think mel telling
and a husband.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
What why would you give him?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Because you were busy?

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Plus everybody knows where do they drink tickets if they
don't need them?

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Talk though, it was because I was a little later.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
I'll let job all right, Well again congratulations. Where are
you going to put there? Are you taking that home?
Are you?

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yes? I'm taking home? And uh my daughter them had
made a little shelf that they stick on the wall
nine so I can put it on there. And they
made three most shelves and said that, Daddy, you need
to fill them up.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I said, okay, oh, because you're gonna be get employed
the year next year.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
No, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Do you still have like any trophies or anything that
you want over the years, maybe playing.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
You know, like I used to have. I used to
have my boxing trophies and you know what I'm saying,
like and a couple of trophies that I really really
liked it, like when I won my first Floto title.
I want to find that trophy. So you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
You still hit the bag?

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah, well when I get through with this.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yes, I will not right now because remember it's back right.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
No, I know, I know that. I just was curious
because do you still yes?

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Yes, yes, yes, mentally yes, yes, I'm physically fit. Yes.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
They have a bag at my gym, but I don't
want to hit it.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
It's a water bay. If I have a water bag,
you got one of the long, skinny.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Long, tall skit like it's about this big round.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
But I always think back to when I worked at
Old World Cheese Shop and was doing a punching contest
or the guys.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Isn't it ye old World chiese shop.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
It was just the old I don't know. It was
fourteen or fifteen years was it?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
With something? I guess?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
No, I broke my growth plate in a punching contest. Yeah,
that's a boxer's fracture, is what they call it. You
were almost for those that don't know, there.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Was too busy breaking people's faces, yeah to worry about
growth plates. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
The key all right, Like did you have your hand round?

Speaker 3 (09:47):
I was fourteen years old, No, we were.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
We were liottle dads in the back of the place
so that but no, no wraps.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I didn't even hit puberty yet because I was late
on that. But we yeah, yeah we Uh.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I hid the broken hand forever until my uh my
parents said, hey, uh, I said spring break, Can I
go to New Smirna with everybody? Go break the yard
and you can go? And then I held up my
hand and it was like this big and when did
you do that?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Hello? Paramore? What was your what was your go to
knockout punch if you had a favorite?

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Uh no, well, you know what I'm saying, Everything works
off the left for me. I'm not a one hitter quarter.
I do have it though, but though my hands are
not built for that kind of impact, you know what
I'm saying. Like, so I'm a basically a combination fighter.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
If I'm if I'm just wanting to put on a show,
I cut you up. That means that I hit you
at angles and stuff like that. If I just want
to get rid of you because I think that you
might get me. So I just knocked you out. But butrtually,
when I was an amateur, you know, I never was
a pro never was a prover.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
You were right up at that level training with the bros.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Oh yes, yes, yes yes, But I was like, uh,
you know, I like to put on the show so
that the people can come see. You know what I'm saying. Said,
Oh the passing in town. Oh they're don't have the
Beast there. Oh yeah yeah yeah and boom boom boom,
and you know what I'm saying that, and then I
get main events.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
By the Beast, Yes, sir, Okay, wear.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
A couple of those big names that you trained with.
The people would know when he told me, and he
told you to Pat last on the podcast, give me
time to think.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
No, no, no, John the Beast mcgovey, I've sprayed with
Greg Holly, I was sprang with Bruce Johnson, who's the big,
big name guy, the big you're talking about heavyweight, wile
because John the Beast mcgovey was probably one of the best.
You know what I'm saying. He could take a punch,

(11:52):
but oh my god, could he hit. But he was
a he was a heavyweight.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
And I don't worry.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Were you ever did it ever occur to you as
a boxer that you really could sustain some serious permanent.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Damage, No, sir, No, sir, You don't think about that
at all. No, no, no no. When you competing and
when you training, and so that's why you train. That's
why you make mistakes while you're training. A lot of
people say that, oh why you spawn fifteen to in
a round, because that's how you're learning. Because you know
what I'm saying, like, oh, if I do this here
and I get caught here, Okay, I got on a
pound glove. But if I get in the rain and

(12:32):
I'm fighting and somebody hit me with a nine ounce
ten ounce glove. Yeah, I'm gonna pay. I'm gonna I'm
gonna pay the price for it.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
We're talking with Paramore Brown. Iheartbatia Employee of the Year. Yeah,
promo guru extraordinaire. And also we're gonna hear about his
vacation in Vietnam. Here and a minute, I got some
more boxing questions from No, no, no, it's it's it's
an observation and it's just a follow up to something
I just said. I have nothing against boxing or UFC

(13:03):
or anything like that. In fact, I have the exact opposite.
I marvel at it every time I see it because
I take a step back and I just think, for
a second, look at what we're doing here. What's going
on here? You have two grown men, yes, out of
each other.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Yeah, I mean, and well, believe it or not, it
was since the term of time, that's what we have done.
We have competed against each other, whether it be in
the courtroom, whether it be courtroom, basketball court, whether it
be in the basketball court, or whether it be in
the CEO is setting, we have always competed each other.

(13:43):
But the de basic ones and the priminal one is
physical contact.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yeah, wrestling, grappling, boxing, They all the way back to.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Where they you know, be in the Roman whatever, in
the gladiator fights.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, I mean I came back always we have always
and with me. Boxing saved me from so much, saved
me from drugs, box and saved me from getting you
know what, say.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, you kind of went into that here the last
time we chatted, and it's good for you. It's just
it's it's great. Okay, let's let's get to this vacation.
Was it a vacation, yes, or a fact finding mission?
A little both?

Speaker 4 (14:25):
It turned it well, I went there trying to fact find,
but when I got there, it turned into a vacation
because I found out that the government takes in a well,
from fifty five to sixty five percent up everything.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
From from its from from its.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Residents, businesses.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
He was to open a business there, everything, Well what.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
If it Okay, if you work for somebody who owns
a business or whatever, they taken that from you as well.
The workers.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
They they taking it from the company, and the company
spreads out what's left and the company had to have
a profit. So DeFore that that's way the seventy five
cent a day of fifty cent a day come in
and American dollars. We see it as an American dollars, but
they see it as a Wand you know what I'm saying,
like they may have sure their currency. Yes, yes, yes, sir,

(15:17):
what what was your what.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Was the scheme you had in mind going there in
the first place, because it sounds like it's financial based here.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Before you go into it, let's rewind a little bit this.
When this all started, I walked up to Pat and said, Pat,
we gotta have Paramore on the podcast. You're not going
to believe where what he's doing. And it was that
he was going to travel to Vietnam. Yeah, and so
we had that podcast and called patoff guard. He goes,

(15:45):
holy shit, I'm so glad that you had them on.
So Paramore Brown going to Vietnam looking at the possibility of, hey,
I might be able to open a business or two
there until he found out this tax bracket.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah, now go so that's out the window at this point, Yes, yes, sir, yes,
and completely out the windows. I mean, because like I
can understand that. But though they have no they have
no homeless people there. They have no people sleeping on benches.
They have they have people that are big during the day,
but then at night you don't see nobody on the
screen or do they. I don't have a clue.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
See, you should have asked that question, because you could
have brought that Maybe it's a simple answer. You could
have brought it back here and try it out.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
But they see like, but but this is the ugly
and this is the sad part of it. America has
turned into a corporation way. Yeah, I mean where you
know what I'm saying, Like, if you're not capitalizing, then
you are being you know what I'm saying, furnish the machine.
You know what I'm saying, to push the capitalist.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
You just figured that out.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
But that's kind of the kind of the American way.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Man.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Either take it or leave it.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah, but they'll see, like we we recruit like two
to three to five hundred percent of our profits.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Right, it's called capitalism. Yes, but more more the better.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Hello. Hello, And that's how and that's how way I'm thinking.
But over there it's completely different. They like long as
they eating and long as they are paying their lease
every thirty years for they land because they don't own nothing.
They don't own nothing over there. They every thirty years
they have to re up the lease. Yes, uh huh,
and they pay a lump sum and then they pay

(17:24):
like a little bit every month.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
So there's no no passing on your your land here.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
You can pass on the lease, you know what I'm saying,
like if you don't need it, because the average life
over there, actually it's like about ninety almost one hundred years, Okay.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
So you can as long as you keep up with
your this lease every thirty years a relative or a
child of yours.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Case, Yes, yes, yeah, for the regular fee, you know
what I'm saying. And that's you know what I'm saying.
That's workable and that's doable. But at the same time,
I couldn't see giving them sixty five percent of my
mond there fifty five percent of my money.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Because the way you have been accustomed to deal with
that don't work for me.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, and then it's so many of them, a little
bit of jokers, that you can't fight them all. But
I was thinking about.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
It now when he went over there.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
When he went over there, we talked to him and said,
so are you going just for a couple of weeks.
Surrey is, I don't know, because he had an open
ended ticket.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
How long did you stay?

Speaker 1 (18:29):
How long did you.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Almost stay the month? Almost stay the month? I mean,
like you know, like because I had to take my operation,
I had to get an operation throw so I got
some shots before I left so that they can you
know what I'm saying, how much you know I could
be comfortable, but I had, I had got there. It's
twenty five hours and I said yes, and I looked

(18:52):
at it. I said, oh no, I can't do that
right there. So I've seen one of the stewards and stuff,
and I started to putting down the paramoun charm and
boom she.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Gave me with the stewardess.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Right, yeah, I can't. I ain't gonna do it with
a guy.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
So you know what I'm saying, mere male flight attendancy.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
That none do with that. But do you know what
I'm saying, Like I talked to himself and she gave
me business class, had me business class. Oh she she
uprad Yeah, yeah, upgraded me and stuff. You know what
I'm saying, Like I showed up the shots I had,
I still had the little band aids and stuff, and
she felt she felt my pain and stuff, and she

(19:32):
came and checked on me a lot.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Did you did you? Did you try to even know Ago?
Is there anything up there in the front of the plane,
up in that first class?

Speaker 4 (19:42):
I had a bed.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Oh in business, yes, I had a bed. I wouldn't
have pushed any arder that I had a bit, a bit.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
I mean I was happy.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, because flying after when you had a bad back injury,
which he did, Yeah, that would suck twice.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
It would suck flying.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
I couldn't have did it. I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Six hours would have been bad.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
So you got there, you did your business side of
the investigation. You quickly realize that that's out the windows.
So now it's onto okay, vacation mode. Hello, So what
you spend your time doing the rest of you were
there almost small at one point, just so you know,
we were out doing you know, our appearances here and
normally you're out doing the promo side of things.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
With that.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Now Bob and I are going, hey, uh is he
coming back?

Speaker 3 (20:25):
He ain't coming back?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
We saw you ad.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
No, no, no, no, no no, no, I'm coming back.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Okay. So okay, now you've thrown the business idea out
the window.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Now you're there, spend okay, vacation. Now the city pod,
the city Pod is mostly tourist area, so you know
what I'm saying. Like, I'm from Atlanta, so I know
how to rat work. I mean Disney.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Excuse me, ezy, Now those are waters. You gotta be careful.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
Yeah, okay, okay, excuse me. But so I know how
to toars stand. So I stay away from the tourist
traps and stuff, and I try to find the local
spots where they'd be sitting out selling stuff and you know,
and everything is uh fresh.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Did you have somebody to kind of guide you?

Speaker 4 (21:07):
I had, I had, I had my partner that they
had went there before me and drunk all my water.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
And the dude, the water that you had shipped over
there flown the Vietnam.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
They drank it off.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
They drunk everything.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Did they eat the steaks you had sent up?

Speaker 4 (21:22):
No, they didn't mess with it. Out of chicken. Now
I'm glad they din't messed with the chicken.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Here prestaged American food and water just because he didn't
know to deal with whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
They were spent hundreds and I think thousands to send
it all there.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
But this is what movies will do to you. You
watch movies, you get it in your head that, uh
you know you.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Are right, yeah, you are dead, right, Yeah. I mean
I mean like, but everything over there was fresh. I
mean everything was like, oh my god. I mean like, uh,
I kind of lost a little weight, but I got
cleaner again, Like it was good.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
How many people people live in Vietnam? What's the population there?

Speaker 3 (22:02):
I don't know. We wiped a lot of mouth.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
They wiped a lot down. Google that population of Vea.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
I'm emailing Lessen's back right now.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
But don't you you'd be surprised. I mean, like, the
average height over there is like about five four so
the average height in America is like about six feet.
So you take a couple of inches away, so it's
like for every one person is two persons over there.
So you know what I'm saying, Like doing the man.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Eat as much of everything?

Speaker 4 (22:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Hell?

Speaker 4 (22:32):
What did he say?

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Patty said?

Speaker 4 (22:34):
He said that they lived to like late.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Nineties hundred, So don't everybody smoke there.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
It's over one hundred million. Really over one hundred.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
Million easy, I mean like in the mountains. I mean, like, dude,
oh my god. But the city park, the city park,
you know what I'm saying, Hanoi and uh Saigon and
all of them, they are basically like tourist traps, you
know what I'm saying. But the inside, you know what
I'm saying, a lot of people live where they work
at so you know what I'm saying. Like me being

(23:05):
in the city, it was a bunch of Russians, a
lot of Russians.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
How many black people did you see.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
In the city. I've seen about six, six or seven
in the city. I seen about six or seven.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's what made me wonder because it's like, and I'm
not being racist and said it before he's leaving it.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Do you get stared at no man?

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Again, the Russians stared at me more than the Russians
looked at me with a different look than the than
the locals. The locals looked at me like you walking
see anybody buy you, anybody with you? Because a lot
of times I just walk off by myself. I just
go by myself, you know what I'm saying, because I
like to see you and listen and you can handle yourself. Yeah,
that part. But but the Russians, they look at me

(23:47):
like I was like some kind of spy or something like,
looking like.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
They're probably running some sort of racket that they thought
they were going to try to muscle in on some
of their actions.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
So you see, you know what I'm saying, I'm looking like,
well whatever.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
But again, I watched too many movies.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
But man, the city part and the people they are,
they are they are awesome. They are good. You know
what I'm saying. What I went on stay in the
city part, No, because I went to the country. Oh
my god, went up in the mountains and it's totally different.
It's like, I mean, like like the kind it was rainy,

(24:25):
you know what I'm saying, Like it's like almost rainy season.
It started raining and you can see the rain coming,
you know what I'm saying. Like I'm from Florida, so
you know you can see the rain coming. He said,
which way the wind blowing. It's like I said, it's
gonna be here in a couple of hot and humid here, yes, yes,
oh my god, but there's real, real.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Human And then then he told his friends, he goes,
I know where it is, you guys, go, I'm gonna
stay here with my mouth up and to drink some
fresh water, since you dicks drank allmine.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
I didn't thought about that. But I didn't thought about that.
But dude, dude, and I didn't see no planes flying.
I didn't see no planes flying until I got round Saigon,
Hanoi up in the mountains and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
No planes flying, you know, that's that's kind of weird
to stop and think about that for a second. I
guess obviously living here in central Florida, there's plans, all
the people coming in out all of the time, but
that that'd be kind of nice that you didn't have
to live under a flight path.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
You see a plane there, it's a drug plane. You're talking, right.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
But this is the good part. This is this is
one of my best experiences in the mountains. I was,
I was, you know, I was walking around and you know,
doing stuff, and and the little kids, like about seven
or eight years old, they'll look at me because they've
never seen a black guy, and they've never seen a
black guy. They'd never seen a black guy. And I'm

(25:46):
just walking, I'm walking through the village and stuff. But
though my partner dad, he's one of the eldest of
the village, so you know what I'm saying, Like, once
I walked around people talking, talking talking, then he had
to come through on the scooters. They have, uh scooters,
and he toilet everybody. Hey, he's a black guy walking
around ball headed. You know what I'm saying, Like he's
my friend. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
So, so he's not here to do any hard the fifties.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
Hello, no, no, so I have free access to everything.
I didn't have to pay for nothing. I mean like
you were like the king. Yes, people saw me and
they were like none, young don and gongs.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
No idea what they were saying, hello, and and like.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
And so I stopped buying too.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
So you know, okay, did you learn any Vietnamese?

Speaker 3 (26:34):
None?

Speaker 4 (26:35):
None?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Did you run into anybody who thought the war was
still going on?

Speaker 4 (26:40):
They wanted me to get in the little hole and
see how I fit in there? And know the hole
about that big? How big is that stream? And I'm
looking like, no, you know what I'm saying, Like I said,
I probably can stick my head. No I'm not even
sticking my head, and.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
No, no barrier.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Hello all right, but no, but this little girl, if you're.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Going to Vietnam, stop back to the learning the language.
You didn't even think to learn a little bit of
the language before you win.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
No, no, little girl, go ahead, okay, okay, this little girl,
I walked by her. I walked by her her. It's
not a hut, it's yeah, but okay, yeah, I guess
so yeah, yeah, by what she said. And she runs
out to me. You know what I'm saying, like her brother.

(27:28):
Then they saw me coming and they run. They run
back and hide up under the house and stuff because
the house sitting up on stills. But anyway, she runs
out to me and she and she grabbed my hand,
and I'm looking at her and her mom them standing
back there, and she grab my hand and she looked
up at me and she grabbed me.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Oh she's trying to rub the black off.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Yeah, I said, I said. I said, I said, no,
it don't come home. And she was like when you
say little girl about seven or eight, I mean, man,
I was. But then the next day I walked by,
she saw me, and I came back by. She had

(28:11):
a bag of oranges because I loved the oranges. Oh
my god, the ounes was so good. And she had
the little bag of oranguice and stuff. She had the
iceman bring her ice so that I can get a thing.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Did you give her some money?

Speaker 4 (28:25):
You know?

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Everything he got was freezing, I know. But did he
give her a text?

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Here you go, don't do that.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Don't do that. That's insulting them. Oh really yeah yeah
yeah yeah I gave I gave it to my partner dad,
and he spread it out among the village because.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
I caught the part where everything was free passed. It's
just like.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
No, no, no, no. I went to give him like I take,
I take, I take, Uh what is one hundred dollars? No, no,
I take one hundred dollars and hed that money over
intoday money and it's like, uh, oh my god, is.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
It to your advantage? Yea, oh god.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
One dollar is like it's like a thousand of day dollars.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
You know what I'm saying, Like, so I had no
it's probably more than that right there. I took one
hundred dollars and I had like about I say, about
four four million WANs. I had like four million WANs.
You know what I'm saying, Like it costs for me
to eat over there. I had to buy chicken and
duck don't chop it.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Up.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Let's leave it hole so I can see what I'm doing.
You know what I'm saying. It was like huh, I said, no, no, no, no,
don't chop it up.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Because you don't want to get that dog or something.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, because they eat rats. Yeah, and the rats. They
say the rats are clean because the rats eat the
rice roots in the rice field, so it's not even
no household stuff and stuff, so the rat meat is
clean and nutritious.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
I'm like, did you try any rat meat?

Speaker 4 (30:04):
No?

Speaker 3 (30:05):
No, I was thinking, like, hey, it's like a rice
filled No.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
No, but done.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Like you have to understand, I had many chances to
try rat on his stick outside the old Orange Bowl
in South Florida. We were convinced that something that was
being sold as beef on his stick was something much
more nefarious. But anyway, that's a story for another time.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
I'm telling you they are They are so respectful and
they are so nice, and believe it or not, they
actually was like invalue me back, are you gonna go back?
I'm going I'm gonna try Greece and then I'm going
to the Motherland where in Africa I don't know yet.

(30:56):
You know what I'm saying, someplace where they won't kill
me for being.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Or anything.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
But yeah, but he won't give me for being an American.
