Today on my way to work, my wheel came off the studs and I came to a complete stop and I watched my wheel fly down the road. I hear stirring in the next room and I know... Stirring. What did I say? Is that what you said? I hear stirring.

Like mac and cheese, huh? Yeah. Well, let's just jump right into it. Welcome back to this week's episode of Unquestionable, Podcast.

If you haven't already, like, comment, and subscribe. Thank you for tuning in. We got a special one for you today.

Yeah, we do. We got my boy C-Dirty105 in the house. My good friend, longtime friend, longtime hometown hero.

Ex-roommate. Ex-roommate. Yes, sir.

We've been through it all, man. We've been through it all. And you got your boy Chris Bucci and boy B. What's up? What's up? How you guys been doing, bro? How you guys been? Oh, we've been good, man.

Just trying to survive the heat out here in California. If I do it. My boy had a hard day today.

Today on a Friday. Who does that? Who does that? I didn't even get to go make money today, man. Give it to the audience.

Tell them what it is. Audience members, I'm going to say it like this, man. Keep the maintenance on your car just tip top, all right? Because you never know when something could happen.

Today on my way to work, my wheel came off the studs and I came to a complete stop and I watched my wheel fly down the road. Yeah, it was pretty scary. Pretty crazy.

Luckily, nothing happened. Nothing more than my car just being messed up happened. I got damaged.

Nobody's car. Nobody damaged me. I'm alive.

Thank God for good health. Thank God for good health. We're here.

We're here. But it's a rough day. It was a rough day, man.

That's what sucks, you know, because you try to walk the straight and narrow. You try to believe in this faith and then just right around the corner, something's waiting for you. You know, always something, huh? Always something.

You just get into a good spot. You're like, damn. Damn.

Another thing to deal with. But it's life though, I guess, huh? You know what I'm saying? It happens. We're out here.

We're trying. We're trying. Yeah, stick a move, baby.

Stick a move. Just keep going. Just keep going.

Keep on moving. No, but at least you get to end the day with a special one. Come on.

Introduce your boy. I hear my boy C-Dirty 105. Here he is looking nice, looking fresh to death.

He had a good long hard day. Blue collar boy. He's here.

He's ready to drink some alcohol with us. Have a little fun, huh? Have a little fun. Ready to get unquestionable today.

Yeah, ready to get unquestionable. Talk business. Talk everything.

Stand on business. Talk about whatever. So, C-Dirty, tell us.

What's like your background with us, obviously? Tell them. I mean, I guess it's pretty different with all of you guys. I met you in middle school.

Me and Aaron linked up in high school or maybe at some bike jumps back in eighth grade. I don't know. But Mario and I got a different story.

That's what I was saying, too. How crazy it is. Small town it is.

We were in different circles, but we were still in the same circle. We all knew each other, but we didn't hang out every day or whatever, but still was cool with people. So, I always thought that was crazy how everybody knew everybody and has a different story to tell, too.

Like how you two met. I want to get into that. Aaron never knew.

No. You ever heard the story? I haven't. No, we heard it back in the day.

Yeah, I told Chris and Kat, no. So, back in the day, I was probably in elementary school at the time, like sixth grade. I just came home from school one day.

My sister had a bike. She's like, hey, you want a bike? I'm like, me, I don't have a bike, bro. So, I'm like, fuck yeah.

She's like, hey, all right. She's like, the only thing, though, you got to paint this shit. She's like, there's some black spray paint in the garage.

Why? She's like, I just look hella sick if it was black. That's crazy. I was like, that's right.

You don't have to do that. You're like, yeah. I was like, fuck yeah.

So, then on the next day of school, I fucking pull up. I'm like, just mobbing. I'm like, yeah.

And then after school ends or whatever, fucking take it off the bike chain. One of the other little kids at school in the yard duty comes up. They're like, hey, you, get over here.

I was like, me? What the fuck? I was like, yeah, what's up? They're like, that's not your bike. I was like, my sister gave me this bike. Oh, man.

And that little kid's like, no, that's my friend's bike. I was like, how do you know? They're like, he's like, my friend just got those sick ass white, what are they called? The fucking handlebar grips? The ODIs. He's like, he just got those the other day, bro.

That's his bike for sure. He spray painted it. I was like, fuck, I did spray paint it.

I was like, you're probably right. I was like, I don't know. My sister gave me the bike.

But the way it happened, bro, is so funny because I was about to load the bike up into my homie's van and we're just about to take off. So like, I was just like, all right, take it, whatever. Hop in the van and dip.

So it looked just hella sketch, bro. The next day I got pulled into office, like got me in trouble. I got like a little what is called citation.

Oh, really? Yeah, I got in trouble for it. It was crazy. You didn't explain that your sister gave you? I went home pissed at my sister, bro.

I was like, what the fuck? Whose bike was that? How'd you get this bike? Did you steal this bike? Like, what the fuck? I was like, I got in trouble. And then my mom, my mom was hella pissed. She's like, what the fuck are you? I was like, dude, she gave it to me.

And then my sister was like, hella just, no, I didn't. I didn't know what he's talking about. And I was like, bro, I was like, you better tell her, dude.

I was like, he gave it to me. Soon enough, my sister cracked. She's like, okay, okay.

I was walking home. I don't know where the fuck they were or how it happened, but she's like, and I was with my homie. And then da, da, da, da, and then all of a sudden he's got this bike.

He came up on the bike. She's like, and then she's like, my brother needs a bike. He's like, oh yeah, go ahead.

You can give that to your little brother. Long and behold, it was the boy C. Dirty's bike. So that's my first fucking- Were you guys at different schools or- Yeah, we didn't go to the same school.

Oh, so like one of your friends was at his school type- Yeah, yeah. So the word got around and it was Lil Boosh had the bike, stole the bike. And I was like, fuck.

I tried to say, no, it wasn't me, but I was just like, no, you stole that shit. I'll take the heat for it. So you probably didn't even have the bike like a full day, right? Dude, I literally probably, my sister, it was like when she gave it to me, it was probably like eight o'clock at night.

And I was in the garage, just spray painted it at night. And then the next day you got busted. Next day.

And so I didn't even have it like more than a fucking, like you said, a full day, bro. Yeah. The funny thing about that black spray paint was it was purple.

It was purple. It was purple. It was.

Like his hat purple or- It was purple. The next day at school, my boys hit me up and they're like, yo, we found your bike. We just, we just got it back from this kid.

And I was like, what? So I start hoofing it over there. Go secure the bike. We got it back.

Yeah. And it's all purple. Purple.

What color was it originally? All sorts of colors. It was just like a parted bike or what? He's no painter. Let me tell you.

I'll tell you what. You see it was dripping and everything. It faded back into the original colors and I gave it the ombre look.

Dude, how long did you have the bike for? Like after you got it back, like. Oh dude, I ran it for a minute. So you just had this bike.

Did you like send it down? No dude, I ran it how it was. So you had a purple bike for the rest of your life cause of him. Yeah.

For a couple of years, probably. And then I finally got a new bike. That's so funny.

But yeah, that was my first encounter with Mario. And then we probably. You met him or no? Like you guys met? Never met.

No, not at that point. We just like knew of each other at that point. Yeah.

And then what did we finally meet? Probably in middle school. Middle school. We finally met.

We squashed it. Squashed it. We squashed it.

And I'll be the first to say it. Well, I was dating this girl and then the girl's like, it's just not working out. Next day she's with C-Dirty.

And at the end of the day, that's when we squashed it. Hey, you know what? I took your bike. Swoop my bike, I'll swoop your bitch.

Swoop my bike, I'll swoop your bitch. I was like one for one. Hey, I for I baby.

It's even. That's hilarious. That's how I met C-Dirty.

That's crazy. No, that's funny. But so how was it from like your perspective, C-Dirty? Like, were you hot? Did you like hate this fool for hella years? Or like, were you just like, why'd you steal my bike? Like, what was it from your perspective for real? Yeah, at the first I was like, fuck this kid.

But I mean, I think he later explained how he came across it. Yeah, like he didn't jump into my backyard and jack it. So did you leave your bike like out front type of thing or what happened? I might have been chilling in the side yard or I don't know.

It could have been kicking it out on the porch. I don't know. I used to kind of just pull up to the house.

Just right there on the grass type of thing. Yeah, that's crazy. Back in 06, I could see something like that happening.

Yeah, it was crazy. I was like, that's funny. What kind of bike was it? Do you remember? It was a Haro.

Oh, okay. That's why I was so lit. I was like, how'd you get this? She's like, don't worry about it.

Right before the small sprockets came out. So I was still wrapping like 32 tooth frigging sprocket. And that was back in the day when bike jumps were a thing.

So I was like, I'm lit. I was like, I'm out there. I'm with it.

I thought he was going to be the one. I was hyped for like a full fucking like- Did you know Chris at the time or no? I knew Chris, but we didn't kick it like that. Oh, okay.

We met each other super early, but we didn't like really kick it until damn near like 8th grade. What grade was this, the bike? Like 6th grade. Because I was in Marengo still.

Oh, okay. That's right. And you were at Lake Canyon? I was at Lake Canyon, yeah.

And you were at River Oaks? Yeah, we were all at different schools. And then 7th grade is when me and C-Dirty met like the first week of 7th grade or something. Oh, yeah.

And that's funny. We'd kick it at PE and, you know, fuck around and shit. But how'd you meet Aaron? We were in Sculpture.

Yeah, I did have him in Sculpture. That was like the official. But like, I think we knew each other like from riding bikes.

And he knew like the kids that I rode bikes with. And then they were like in love with him. And Aaron just thought I was a little punk.

Yeah. Which I was. I was like, why you guys like this kid so much, man? I'm over here throwing rocks and shit.

Yeah, dude. We were all doing bad shit. But it was like the fact that he was just like the little guy.

I was like, man, this kid, dude, he's about it, though. He was about it. No, I remember he used to fuck with... What was that? I don't want to say names or nothing.

But there was a kid that lived... He lived right next to Marengo, the elementary school. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we were at Jack in the Box.

And I think you were like throwing eggs and shit in his drink while he was in the bathroom. He comes back. Oh, no.

Like an egg, he cracked an egg in a drink? No, it was like we were eating breakfast or something. It was like in the morning. I don't know why I remember it, but it was just like, I think you put like a white, like the egg whites.

Yeah, yeah, like some shit like that in the drink or something like that. I was a rowdy kid. I played rough, for sure.

Yeah, that was crazy. I grew out of it kind of, I think, more. Yeah, and then I remember we met in that sculpture class and then we met... Because you guys were all upperclassmen.

I was like... Freshman, I think, huh? Yeah, fresh into the... And you were in the back by yourself. And then we just walked up to you like, hey. Adopted me.

And then you just came over to our table and you said, come with us. I remember that. And then we ended up having sculpture like until you were out of high school.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we did. That's crazy.

And then that year was actually... Boy B actually took me and Mario to our first high school party that year. Yeah, that's how I first met Boy B was through fucking Matt and this fool. Yeah.

He took us to our first party. Yeah. Got us a hell of reckless.

That's so funny too. Got us a hell of drunk. Mario's peaking out at Jack in the Box.

Jack in the Box was a spot back then. To this day, it's like... Everybody was always there. We would just ride bikes over there.

I made Eric drive me there after the bar, what, like a month ago? After all these people up there? We did, yeah. That's the spot. And tacos at 2 a.m. Yeah, to this day, dude, they'll handle it.

They'll handle it. You could drop a 20 and feed like a whole party. Carlo full of people.

Dude, because they do offer that munchie meal deal. Yeah, dude. That's what I'm saying.

It's getting hectic with these fast food chains, man. No, I know. Bro, McDonald's used to be... You'd be straight off like six, seven bucks.

Dude, Taco Bell, you eat 20 bucks Taco Bell, man. Same thing with McDonald's, bro. Unless you don't got the app, you're spending $20.

You gotta have the app on. That's crazy. My boy Aaron put me onto the app.

He is loyal. Dude, the app saves you so much money, dude. 200,000 points.

And you don't need to get the Big Mac, bro. Two double cheeses does damage. I'm not gonna lie.

I need that Big Mac sauce. I do, though, I do. I'm not a vegetable sauce guy.

No, I'm only a chicken nugget eater at fast food. I don't trust red meat at fast food. I don't know why.

We're all gonna die eventually. But now it's super-sized meat, that's why. But for sure, though, the pricing is crazy.

Regardless of the nutritious, the pricing is insane, man. Yeah, fuck all that. Yeah, it's terrible.

Nah, but looking back, we were talking about it, how you rode bikes a lot. Obviously, me and Mario, we played sports. That's what got us super close.

You played sports, too. You're older than us, obviously, though. But I noticed we were all outside kids, right? Oh, yeah.

I've started to notice, obviously, the new generation. It's a lot differently. We're from, obviously, a residential area.

You used to drive by and see us fucking around on bikes and the bike jumps or something. People playing basketball outside. And it's like, where are the kids nowadays? Inside.

Dude, they're scared. I can't believe it. I can't believe people don't want to go outside and have fun.

Dude, I didn't even have a phone until the end of eighth grade somewhere. And whenever I do see some little homies riding bikes, I'm just... Yeah, you're the last of a dying crew. There is a little crew.

I don't know if you guys have seen it. There's a crew that they do go up and down right here, the main road. I've seen them a few times.

But they got those big wheelie bikes and they've been doing wheelies. Yeah, those are the in thing now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but there's a little crew.

But that's it, though. I haven't seen... Hey, shout out to them boys right there. Shout out to them.

Stay outside, kids. Stay outside. Stay dangerous.

Stay dangerous. Even Aaron was saying how we all ran with different crews and shit. Bro, we would end up at Community Park running into each other.

Yeah, exactly. It was just active as kids. We were really outside for real, playing wiffle ball, shit like that.

I don't know. And you just look at this new generation. Obviously, technology plays a huge part in shit.

But just looking back, it's like, fuck, man. What happened to childhood? It's honestly kind of frowned upon to go outside. You can't even go outside and ride a bike without people thinking you're homeless.

You know what I'm saying? Can't even enjoy the road, bro. Are you good? I'm just on a walk, man. What's up? No, for real.

And then you see these kids that are obsessed with sports nowadays. They're obsessed with TikTok-ing what they're doing on sports. It's something around it that's... Social media and technology.

That's technology. We were really just out there thugging it. I was telling Aaron the other day, me and Dirty used to just ride our bikes and jump off of them into hard-ass bushes at Community Park just for no reason.

Yeah, we were just bored. Ride our bikes as fast as we could and just jump off and bail into these big-ass bushes, bro. It's like, kids aren't doing that no more.

Instagram, Snapchat, all that shit. All the social media is on the phone, at least, started coming out more into high school. So back then, we had to go home and log into MySpace.

Yeah, we had the MySpace, bro. Yeah, true that. And then you only had however many minutes until mom and pops kicked you off and you needed it for some business.

That's funny. And you even think about it, and it's like we had it at such an early stage that we never had... Bro, I remember we looked at Mario like he had a hell of followers as a kid because he had 300 or something like that. There are these kids that have these Instagrams from six years old.

So by the time they're 12, they got Ks. You know what I'm saying? No way. They've just been grown up on the social media age.

They speak social media. Like parents are starting them for them at such a young age and then they just hand it over whenever they're old enough. Exactly.

Or let them play with it when they want with the controls and shit. Yeah, they're gaining these followers. They're friends and shit over time.

Think about it. If you were literally gaining your followers from a little kid all the way to a grown up, you probably would have it. I would have been blue checkmarked up.

Right, right. No, I remember we looked at Mario like he had a hell of... Because that would be like 300 or 500 at a young age. We were like in middle school, high school.

On Instagram or MySpace? I think it was probably on some like... It was probably like on Facebook or something. Yeah, Facebook or something. This was just some weird shit.

But Mario just got like... Because there was even a thing like being MySpace famous. Don't look at my fucking Facebook. No, for real, bro.

Don't find it. No, that shit's funny. We could expose him.

Link in bio if you want to see that shit. I haven't seen it. Is there some good shit on there? There's some good shit.

You don't remember, bro, from high school? It's just my bike on there. All over and wiping it down. For sale.

Got a new Haro. For sale, purple Haro. Freshly painted.

Yeah, purple Haro for sale. He said candy paint Haro. He's got teardrops on it.

This dude would wear purple, too. He said it was black. I thought it was black, but he's right.

Now he said purple. He said that black spray paint was... Like purple like his shirt or how purple? Like the Sacramento Kings purple. Purple, yeah, like straight purple.

That shit was... Hey, recap. This was really sick. That black face spray paint was pretty cool because it was purple.

Boy, you're hilarious. He must have ran out like halfway through. Yeah, for sure did, bro.

He had like a solid coat on up until like one of the ends, and then it started getting a little splotchy. Oh, really? Yeah. That's so funny.

That's so funny, dog. Oh, gosh. To be a kid again, huh? I know.

Good times, bro. Hey, good times. Looking back to like childhood, obviously, let's stick with it for a little longer.

Because we all have different like connections from early ages. Like what are some stuff, I guess, things from childhood that just stick out to you crazy, I guess? You know what I'm saying? Like just, you know, that Skate 3. You know how we'll talk about Skate 3, or we'll talk about like Tony Hawk, or, you know, MLB The Show. Like just these old things that we used to do or Wiffle Ball outside.

I don't know, like... You played that a lot? You said like three times now. Let me hear this Wiffle Ball game. No, I was playing Wiffle Ball.

Yeah? For real, yeah. Wiffle Ball was lit. I was outside with it.

But I'm a baseball baby. Like you got to realize I played baseball, like organized baseball from 4 to 17. We used to go to the schools and just fucking have a home run derby back in the day.

Like as kids too. I remember that. That was fun.

I used to do that. Me and Mario were doing that shit damn near like senior year still. Like I remember I spanked that White House at Marengo like seven times.

I bat. The one that was all haunted. Yeah, I've spanked the garage like 70 times.

We'd go to the backstop at Lake Canyon and you know how there's like the houses. Oh, I've never played there. But me and Mario would just have home run derbies right there.

Just pulling and just teeing it off right into their roofs. Is that field pretty far? I've never played at that one. That's a decent amount of land.

It's not super far. But is it shorter than Marengo or is it a lot farther? Which side of Marengo are you talking about? The White House side. Yeah, the White House side.

He's talking about that. That one's pretty close. That one's pretty close.

No, I think... Lake Canyon's a little farther? If you pulled it like from... So if you were right-handed and you pulled it crazy to left field, it'd be pretty short. But like this was left-handed. So where we were... Oh, okay, okay.

And I was always an oppo hitter or a straight hitter. So we were like hitting it straight, like trying to go straight over. So it was a little farther.

But yeah, it was short from the left field. Not too crazy though. Yeah, nothing crazy.

I could go rip one over tomorrow. And then we would get creative and we'd take people out to Meadowview and we'd have like a little home run derby. Oh, I've cracked one out of Meadowview.

At the little park. Oh, you've cracked one out of Harvey? Yeah. I've cracked one out of Harvey.

But what's up, bro? You remember that shit? The year we were going into Harvey, they extended the fence like 100 feet or something. Oh, did they? Yeah, I was like, damn, I would've got like six home runs if you guys didn't. I was about to rip something.

Oh, I got to go back and see what's up. No, yeah, they extended it. They used to be dumb ass short.

Yeah. My buddy was left handed too. And I remember he hit it out of Harvey one time and it was clean because he smacked a car too because they were parked on the side.

That's my Miata. I'm pretty sure the dude was on Mario's team. But this was the year that the fence got extended.

And there was only one kid who would hit home runs. And bro would just blast them all the time. Was that bigger kid? He was huge.

He would just blast them all the time. And we're like, damn, like us kids just couldn't hit it over. And he was big though, bro.

He was already like 5'11 when we were like 13. Bro was a grown man. Yeah.

Bro was a grown man at Harvey Park. I remember too, like there would be kids who were good and never hit home runs. And then there would be those like first time year players.

And they'd somehow just smack one. I'm like, how the fuck? Yeah, because it took me a while to get my first home run. Like I've been doing this shit, ain't I? Yeah, it took me a while to get my first home run.

I remember this one kid, first year rookie year, just spanked one. But it was the only hit he got. And how the fuck you do that? I had a kid who, he was one of my best friends, his little brother.

But he, at the time. He was a roper or what? No, he was like playing up. And I remember he hit like an inside the park home run on our last game.

And we were like, and he was like six years old playing with us, like eight year olds or nine year olds. And we were like, yeah, like, you know. He was just fast as fuck.

Well, no, just errors, you know, little kid shit. But bro made an inside the park home run at six with these older cats. So we were just hyped for him.

Oh, I'm sure. He hit last, you know. It was one of those things I always remember.

But for like the viewers who don't know, Harvey Park and Meadowview, what we're talking about is like, you know, they're the local farm minor, major, like your little league, little league baseball park. Like 15 years old. No, not even 13, 14 years old.

Just yeah. Because then you go to you go to community at like 14. Yeah.

13, 14, at least the big leagues. Yeah, I've never, I never went to go to Babe Ruth. Yeah, I never cranked one.

Even in high school. I never did. And I remember there was one game, I think me and Mario played together that year and we hit one to the fence, but it wasn't.

I've hit it to the balance. We've no back to back or something on the game, but it wasn't it wasn't a community was Bartholomew. You remember that? That was on the All-Star.

Yeah, it was it was in Elk Grove. We were in Elk Grove. Or Bartholomew.

Bartholomew. Yeah. Yeah, it's over by like Sheldon High School, I think.

I chipped my tooth at that part. One of those high schools. But yeah, I remember we played there.

That's when I got like my farthest hit was there. But I wasn't a home run hitter. Oh, no.

I could never hit, bro. I was a PO. We took football more serious.

But even football, we should have known better. Like we took practice as practice. Like practice should be preparation.

Your practice is outside of practice. You know, we didn't do that. We just fucked around.

We just showed up and wanted to put the jersey on and play and like it worked out. But it was like still we could have like, you know, took it more serious or actually been disciplined. But we were just so so like focused on other things.

Like I was into like music and shit. Yeah, that's why I left sports too. I wasn't really into drugs.

And I just hated the coaches. So I don't want to listen to them. Yeah.

But football, we, yeah, we lasted all the way to the end. I didn't play football, but I for sure went to the games, man. And I was out there getting jiggy on the stands.

And I was out there rooting. Shout out to football, bro. I miss that shit.

Just hammered drunk in the fourth row. Why didn't you play? I remember you used to always tease us and be like, yeah, I'm gonna play this year. I'm gonna try to play this year or something.

But you would never play. So I wrestled in high school. But whenever grade cuts came around, you know me, I didn't go to school very much.

Yeah. So I would wrestle, do well for the first half of the season. Then the grade checks would come.

Coach wanted the report card. And he was like, look, dude, I've been at school like two weeks. Yeah, I don't know.

I made the tournament. I played football and basketball and all that whenever I was younger. And then I was really just into dirt bikes, to be honest.

And you didn't need to get a 2.0 plus for that. Yeah, you were like super into that. You were every weekend going out to.

I remember you almost talked to me. I never rode a dirt bike in my life. You almost talked me into buying a two stroke.

Yeah, like a 125 or something. You were straight up asking your parents for one. We were shopping on Craigslist.

Straight up. Yeah. They're both working on you're going to ask me to have like this.

We were. We were dead. I like talking like that.

And it was funny because I'd never even rode a dirt bike. And I was just like, bro, I'm going to get it. We're going to be out there all the time.

Dude, I was going to throw him right into the big leagues. There was quite a few kids in town that were like about about it. They were about it.

Galt kids for sure rode some dirt bikes in their time. So that's what's up. And they were pretty nice at it, too.

You know, there's some great riders from this town. Yeah, that's that's cool, too. That's a tough sport.

That's something I was never somebody who liked to catch air. And that was something I was like, yeah. Oh, yeah.

No, I would eat shit. Yeah. And another thing is you don't realize how like physically taxing it is to like watching it.

You just think it's like fun or no. Yeah, you're out there. Yeah, it's physically taxing.

Like you're strong core. You need fucking hell. He was the one who taught me that shit.

That's why I see Dirty's had a six pack since he was five. For sure, for real, bro. I remember you teach me all about that shit, like how you'd have to like ride the grooves or something like that.

Oh, yeah. The ruts. Yeah, all that shit.

Didn't we go to like one of the dude's houses? Like I said, I'm not going to drop names. But one of the dude's houses, like Wilton or something. One of my older homies.

Yeah, who had the track. We were out there. You guys were riding shit.

I was too scared, though. Yeah, we can go out there and go X Games on them. Bro, I thought I could do it.

I thought once my dad bought that shit, I was going to do it. Well, that's the shitty part, too, is you get all this money put into it and whatever that's not it, you know? It costs, you know, nowadays it's like 50 bucks to go ride a track, fuel, you know, just go and ride your dirt bike is $100 a day. And then maintenance and all that type of shit.

And then your parents quit sponsoring you and you're just like. Yeah. How do I do this? Yeah.

So you got to get really good, really fast and get sponsored or you're. Or just have some down ass. Parents that are ready to take you to them.

That's like a thing in the bike. All the rich kids, it seems like in the pros there, you know, they make it to the pros, but they're not the number one guy. The people who actually end up like winning championships and all that.

They're their parents struggle. You know, they sold the house to get them to the races type deal. And those are the guys that like just had that hunger and just keep going.

So they're like, I ain't gonna do this for nothing. Yeah, no, that's crazy. That's crazy.

That's crazy, too, because you do see those athletes, those action athletes who come from nothing and you see the ones that have money and they have the skate park in the backyard or whatever it may be in the backyard. And then you do have the nitty gritty kids who are just out on the streets just getting after it. Well, I mean, you see that in every sport.

Yeah, yeah. Like even the UFC, you got like the Jorge Masvidal and Kobe Covington thing. They have polar opposite stories.

Kobe's from college, was wrestling, all that type of thing. Masvidal's from Kimbo Slice. Yeah, you know, the streets like, you feel me? And it's like, and, you know, some of it has its advantages.

Sometimes it peaks. Sometimes, you know. That experience advantage helps you as well.

How hungry you are, how much bad you want it to, for sure. Yeah, it goes like either way, you know. But shit, let's get into our first segment of the day, guys.

Let's do it. Let's do it. Yeah, yeah.

Let's get that cognac ready for the cognac corner. All right, baby, welcome to the cognac corner. Got a little Hennessy White straight out of Mexico.

Shout out El Chapo, baby. El Choppers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fresh back from Mexico. Had to bring it back for the boys. Yeah, Chris just went out there.

He was kicking it. Are you going to mix drink it or are you going to shot it? You know me, man. I don't need no shot.

That's a shot? I said don't pour me like that. No, I'm going to mix drink it. That's a heavy pour right there.

Yeah, we're sipping, dude. Yeah, I'm going to sip that. Oh, okay.

Like it's some motherfucking whiskey, baby. Some ice? Yeah. I'm about to put some water in that shit.

If the popo don't know. If the popo don't know. Got motherfucking Grey Goose, baby.

Hook me up with a little bit of mine, would you? Here, toss it to me. But yeah, to get into the cognac corner, basically we're going to be asking some questions. Some lighthearted, easy, you know, just what are you thinking type questions.

Some deep hitting perspective questions. Try to get into some sophisticated talk with some- We're pretty much like 50 cent, 21 questions. Come on.

Yeah, we're going to try to get into some, you know, sophisticated talk with some fine liquor and see how that goes, you know? My bad. How does that song go? I was literally trying to sing it. 21 questions.

Yeah, how does it go? I got, how does it go? Would you love me if I was down? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. That's it.

That's it. Would you love me on a bus? If I was on a bus? I left 21 questions. And they all about us.

I remember I used to send that song to so many little girls, bro. When I was a little kid. When I was a little kid, dawg.

There you go, there you go. When I was a little kid. Nah, bro, the funniest song to think about back when I was a kid is Mario had a girlfriend.

She moved away. Oh, he was hurt. He was hurt.

You never saw her before though? Bro, this was when Tiger was popping, bro. What song was it? Tiger dropped far, far away. Dude, that song was horrid.

Hey, bro, I was about to get it in. The music video made me cry. My boy was out there hurting.

Oh my god. He felt that shit. He said, cause you're far, far away.

Hey, cause I was about to make the move the last day. He was going to move for her, huh? Nah, I was a couple of miles. Bro, she was about to take my virginity, dawg.

Oh man. It was supposed to happen that night and then she was like, I can't make it. And I was just sitting there in the garage just slapping that shit.

And I was like. Oh my god. She's bye.

I'm like, what? He said he coming. But no guys, let's get right into it. Cognac Corner, like I said, we're going to get some questions going.

It's panel discussion type questions. So we're going to open it to interpretation. See what you guys are thinking.

If you don't feel like answering, drink to it, you know? Oh, okay. Oh, I was supposed to wait? Well, you can drink regardless. Oh, okay.

It's just if you want to answer. Yeah, this is the Cognac Corner. We're sipping some fine alcohol.

We're talking with the boys and having some, you know. What kind of alcohol we sipping? Good conversation. We're sipping that Hennessy White.

This podcast is brought to you by Hennessy White. You need to slow down around them corners. Almost made me spill my yak.

On this $300 suit. Like I said, this podcast is brought to you by Hennessy White. Yes, sir.

Smoother than smooth. But let's get into the first question. First question is, what is the most embarrassing trend you took a part of as a child and teenager? Anybody can answer.

Man, I'm going to have to think on this one. Most important. Say it again.

Most embarrassing. Most embarrassing and important. The most embarrassing trend you took a part of as a kid or a high schooler.

I had a Foxtail. Oh, yeah, he was. He was those kids.

Did you do that with that? Yeah. He was a Tumblr kid. He was a Tumblr kid.

I was a Lil Wayne kid. I had to do them. Is that a Lil Wayne kid or Tumblr kids? That was the swag era, right? That's the Lil, yeah.

Lil Wayne, Cardo fans. Yeah, big swaggers. I did one picture like this.

Never heard the end of it. This fool had pictures like everything. I go look at my Tumblr, I was popping.

Everything, bro. You and Lil Hernandez were the Tumblr boys. Daniel? Yeah, I remember him too.

Yeah, him too. He was the little. Yeah, I remember him for sure.

He was a king. It's a different time. What was it when you do the like my status for a truth thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I had like my status for a race. For PC. Just hoping a girl would, a certain one would like me.

Yeah, exactly. Is it crazy that we did that? We literally would like. Well, that's what it was.

It was just baiting for some. One person, that one person. That one, you're like, what's up, baby? I'm over here responding to Aaron, but I don't give a fuck about that.

I wanted him to be like, three, bro, get out of here. You're like, TBH, you're pretty cool to chill with. Have a good one.

And then the other girl goes, TBH, your smile is so nice. I love your eyes. I for sure, I promise you, we could pull up some statuses of like two homies.

Just super fun day at the park with you, bro. Straight up. I bet you we can pull it.

Like, I don't know what was up with some kids, bro. Some kids were like sentimental with their bros. Bro, we were like haters.

We used to be like, we used to talk shit. I'd be like, you're hella ugly, bro. Get out of here.

Same for you. Yeah, we said some bad shit on Twitter. I ain't gonna lie.

But no, that was a good one. Does anybody else have one? I don't think I was, I can't say embarrassing. Like, I've always just been swagged up.

I've never been. You didn't rock the Osirises? I did, but I did it right. Like, when it was in the time.

Is that embarrassing? DCs? You rocked the DCs? I mean, everybody was doing it. But yeah, same. I had like, I did wear skinny jeans, I guess.

But I wasn't wearing the green neons. I wasn't wearing the blue neon. Like, but I did wear.

You wore Putty Rockstar skinny jeans? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, not too crazy. I wore like the Volcom jeans, skinny jeans.

Like, the shaggy skinny jeans. I was going to say that, bro. I wore red skinny jeans, gray skinny jeans.

Like, I wore those. But I was Jabberwocky. No, I was a new boy's baby.

Yeah, new boys were cool, but I was a new boy's baby. But like I said, I didn't have the green Vans. I didn't do it like that.

But I did have the skinny jeans. I did have the, you know, but I wasn't. I didn't have the colored ones.

So I don't know how embarrassing, I guess. I guess I wore skinny jeans. That's pretty embarrassing.

I don't know, I guess. No, I was fucking with the new boys crazy. I was trying to learn all the.

New boys were tough. You can't hate on them. I was Cat Daddy and I was doing it all in the skinny jeans.

Brown even got in on it. And he was, yeah. It was crazy.

I used to wear like an XL Superman shirt with some like skinny ass red jeans and some blue Vans or something. Like, didn't make no sense. I think.

You know, with that spike belt. The spike belt. Okay, I did run the spike belt.

I for sure did have the spike belt. I love those belts. I'm not.

Exactly. I love those. Or if it came with the belt buckle.

Yeah, I had the red socks. My dad wouldn't get me one. I told him every time.

I was like, that's what the kids are wearing. I used to have the California state, the knuckle one. Yeah.

I had that one. The brass knuckles? Yeah, yeah. On the knuckle.

What about the seat belt belt? Oh, that was another one. The Corvette one. I had the Corvette one.

No, I think mine was Mustang. I think mine was Mustang. Another.

You ran some famous star shit too. Yeah, famous stars and straps or whatever. The stars and straps were huge.

I remember I was running tough with the flat builds crazy. Like, you know, like not curving them ever. Like too flat.

Like had to keep them straight crispy. I never really wore hats as a kid. Yeah.

So I start to like sixth grade probably. No, I was out there with the flat, flat builds. And I think that that aged bad.

But yeah. So I had a few of them. I was thinking about the skinny jeans.

Like you said, the little, you know. Yeah, those pictures. Yeah.

And then I was thinking about that. Yeah. Yeah.

But other than that, I can't think more than. Yeah. I can't think of it like that.

See, Aaron trying to sound all cool. I was swaggy. No, but I mean, I'm about to say you hella cool.

But you guys say I'm a tumblr boy. Yeah, I know. Out of me.

No, no, no, we didn't out you. I was never like a selfie kid either. They pull up my Facebook, baby.

It's all that. Yeah. You're the one who said it, cut.

We could get a cut. Hey, Luis, cut it. Yeah, cut.

Marker. No, no, I'm joking. But all right, let's get into the next question.

Tobey Maguire is a dog. For sure. The Uh-Oh Oreos.

The which ones? Uh-Oh Oreos, where they were mixed. It was instead of the white cream in the chocolate cookie, it was the white cookie in the chocolate cream. They were fire.

And then the Grips. You remember when they had Grips? Oh, yeah. But the cheesy, the jalapeno cheesy Grips.

The little triangle ones. Those were crazy. Yeah.

And then my honorable mention would be Chicken Select from McDonald's. I'm upset that those are gone. What is this? The Tenders? The Tenders.

I was fucking with those. They don't have that style no more, or what are they? No. That shit was fire as a kid.

What about the McRib? What about the McRib? What do you got? I said the Pop-Tarts. Oh, that's hard, dude. I didn't eat out like that, bro.

My mom would only take me to Jack in the Box. Tell me about your McFlurry story. What is that? Oh, I mean, shit.

The first time I had a McFlurry. I'm telling you, I didn't eat out like that, bro. My mom didn't take us out.

She was broke. We couldn't go eat. Yeah, yeah.

I shopped at Didi's. So I don't know who I was with, but they finally let me get a McFlurry, right? But you know how the McFlurries come in that plastic spoon, and it's open-ended at the end, right? You try to suck through it. Yeah, it's doug.

And I was like, hey, take this shit back. The straw don't work. And then so I tell the person, I was like, my straw's not working.

They're like, it's a spoon. And you pulled it out, and you were like, how old were you? I was probably seven, doug. He's waiting for it to melt and shit.

Yeah, I was like, come on. I was like, oh, yeah, it's too frozen for it. That's funny, though.

That's good. That's funny. But see, Dirty, do you got anything? Dude, not off the top.

I can't think of anything. No, no, Dunkin' Reef or something. They still have my favorite snacks, he's saying.

You know what? Taco Bell just brought back a while ago that Mexican pizza. Oh, they did, huh? And then they quit doing it again, right? Those things are smack. Bro, another thing that I think you were with me when I used to get these tough, he for sure was.

Jack in the Box's mozzarella sticks. But the old ones, like the old fire ones, you know what I'm saying? They used to be really good. Oh my god.

The new ones aren't that? The new ones were trash. I haven't had those. Would they give you some marinara with it, too? Yeah, but they were like, there were these like, I don't know.

The sauce was different, though, back then. The batter was like seasoned batter, you know what I'm saying? It was like the red pepper and the cajun style. It was fire.

Yeah, very heat. Yeah, fire heat. I would say Jack in the Box's mozzarella sticks are at the top of mine.

That's the top. What about, do they still got honeycombs? Yeah, they got honeycombs. They brought them back? Because for a while, they were discontinued.

But I remember honeycombs were fire, too. Reese's Puffs. Reese's Puffs go crazy.

Their commercials were dope. I don't know if I ever had any in the cover. I'm about to say, I never had them as a kid.

I remember jamming out to their little commercials. Reese's Puffs. But it was always gassy.

You were spitting, too, Ma. Yeah, you were. They would go in.

That's just funny. That's what's up, though. But all right, let's get to the next question.

The next question is, what do you think is the most important skill to have in today's world? Skill? Yeah. Important skill. To communicate.

Yeah, I was just going to say that. That's what I was going to say. You can bullshit your way into anything if you know how to talk to people.

No, that's a great answer. Honestly, when I wrote these questions, that was exactly what I thought was communication. Because I think that's almost everything.

Being able to communicate person to person is everything nowadays. You know what I'm saying? If you have all the skills in the world, but you're not a people person. Yeah, you can't get your foot in the door, even if you got the skills to pay the bills type deal.

Exactly, exactly. So a lot of it is the people person. That's why, I mean, we all work at a job.

We've probably seen a lot of people who kind of, you know, nudge their way into something that, you know. They fake it till they make it. But, hey.

Fake it till you make it. Hey, they're a personable person. They're tolerable.

People like them enough to, you know, help them and get them up to there. But if you're a great person that's just not personable, they're trying to get you out as quick as possible, you know. For sure.

That was honestly, yeah, my answer. That's a great answer. I got a couple, bro.

I got a couple. And they may not be like hella important. But to me, I think they are.

Like writing a check, changing a tire. Okay, yeah, yeah. Like simple shit like that.

The shit you didn't learn in high school. Yeah, shit that you don't, that they don't teach you in high school. I know a lot of kids that don't know how to do that type of shit.

And what's crazy is, I'm going to spoil it. But there was one question. I'll avoid it.

It was the same thing. It's like, what do you guys think could improve about the school system? And I was thinking the same type of thing. It was like the fact that we don't learn any of these applicable skills in school.

Like, I mean, I could tell you even all the way halfway into college, I still wasn't even learning anything that I applied to my job. You know what I'm saying? And that's kind of crazy that we pay for institutions, whether it's directly or through taxes, for institutions that we almost, you know, don't even learn the necessary skills to actually be competent adults in real life. I'm going to say even common sense, bro.

They don't teach you common sense in high school. I mean, they tell you be good, but it's like, you get kids who don't know. They don't teach you how to react to certain situations.

You don't know how many times I see people and I'm like, like, you just weren't taught common sense. But like, who would do something like that? How would you react? It's almost like growing up, like an adult stepped in before you had the opportunity to learn yourself. Or even if you look back to like things, I don't know.

I was one of those kids who I did well in school, but I did have problems with teachers and things like that. And you look at it and where were teachers really, you know, helping with emotional intelligence or certain things? You know, certain things that like, it was always like all the way extreme right away. It was never things where it was like kind of, you know what I'm saying? Like me and Aaron had a conversation recently where we were talking about Frau and how she was one of like the most impactful teachers to all of us.

Like, granted, we wouldn't have been able to go to college, freshman year of college, if it weren't for her. Like she put in our applications for our grants to actually get us to be able to go to college. So we owe a lot to Frau, you know what I'm saying? To be honest, too, because you just look and you're like, I'll do it.

And she dealt with us with compassion, but also was tough on us. Was like, you guys aren't stupid. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? You're not going to do it. We're going to do it right now, right here in class. And she taught us how to like confront certain things in, like I said, a compassionate way, in a sense.

And I feel like that's missing a lot. She's an OG, shout out to Frau. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Because I think it's important to have that accountability in your life and stuff like that and be able to, I know we're those type of friends with each other where we'll kind of, you know, call each other out or something. But it's important to have that. But you also should have a sense of compassion while doing it and things of that nature.

You know, I feel like that was something important that you didn't see from a lot of teachers, you know? Yeah. Because a lot of teachers are just there for like... The check. The check, bro.

Like they get tired of like, like a few, bro. Like our math teacher, he was just a fucking dick, dude. Like he didn't care, even though like we were all a bunch of smart kids.

Like I remember one time, like, yeah, okay. We used to leave class early or we used to fall asleep in class because fucking we had football practice at 5am and then we're going back to football practice after fucking after class. And like, I remember one time me and Kevin used to walk in there because it was like for the final or some shit.

We're trying to study. And he's like, I'm not going to tutor you guys. He's like, you guys fall asleep in class.

You don't have to talk a lot about tutoring. And I was like, no shit. But then like the other fucking goody two-shoes.

Oh yeah. All the little girls. Oh yeah.

Step on in, Jasmine. I'm like, okay. I was like, fuck you, dude.

There were teachers who literally just, you know, I don't know. Like he said, just showed up just to show up. Just showed up, bro.

And I think like, they did their job too, but at the same time they were just doing their job. You know what I'm saying? Like they weren't really, yeah. Being a teacher is a tough job.

Oh yeah, for sure. Like my parents are both teachers too. And they like, they don't teach high school or so, but they teach kids like sixth grade.

And my parents, my mom just recently went to becoming a kindergarten teacher because she couldn't handle the kids no more. But my dad, he ain't giving up on them. Like he's still like, he tells them like sixth graders.

He tells them like, you guys need to get your shit together. You're gonna end up like my son. But it's crazy because the younger you are, it's like the more better experiences I have with teachers that like impacted me well.

But like the older I got, I'm not gonna lie, in high school, like I just hate, in middle school, I hated a lot of my teachers, bro. I wouldn't say I hate. I just didn't care about school.

No one ever said anything until, like I said, Frown one day pulled me to the side. It was like, you know, these kids look like the, cause I was like upperclassmen too when she had me. And there was a lot of underclassmen.

She said like, a lot of these kids look up to you, man. But you fuck around too much and you get the kids riled up, but you do bring them down. But you know, you cause a lot of commotion.

Your grades aren't the best. And then, you know, she just told me like, you need to just shape up cause you can do great. But you just, if you're showing me now, I don't know what you're going to end up doing out there, you know? And sure enough, I was like, oh no, yeah, for sure.

For I'm gonna do something. You don't see me. Cause you're still time to get into Harvard.

Yeah. I might be able to get in still. Illegally blonde, baby.

You know, I'm out there. No, but I think that was a great answer, Cody. But going to the next question.

What is the funniest way you've ever injured yourself? I got a good one. That was a good one. Cause I figured Cody's probably injured himself a couple of funny ways.

But if you have. Is it Mario? All right. So I was probably about sixth grade to fifth or sixth grade.

We was out at, I think it was at the time. It was like my grandma's husband's like family's house essentially. And it was out there and sat.

And all the kids that we were with were like three, five years older than me. Right. I was like, like I said, fifth grade.

So what? It's like 10 years old, 11 years old, maybe if that. And we go to the school. We're just walking around being a little bad-ass kids.

And fucking, I was with like the older kids, the older guys. And then it was a basketball hoop. This was here in town or this? It was in Sac.

And it was like a little ratchet at school. And all the basketball hoops were, the hoops were bent down. Everyone slamming on them.

I don't know what it was like they did on purpose, but literally all of them were bent down. So all the older guys and shit, they were like, oh, it's trying to dunk on our grab rim and shit. And me, my little ass.

I'm like, fuck you guys. I was like, watch this. I go up and I grabbed it.

Right. And I was just swinging on. I'm like, yeah.

And I jump around. Nobody's even there. And I was like, get your ass back over.

I didn't know. No, you didn't know. You guys like, bro, I'll do it right now.

So I go up again and I go, I grabbed it, but I just missed. And I was like, I fucking fail, bro. On your back.

I fell on my arm. I fell on my arm and my bone was literally like popping out. It didn't break through the skin, but it was literally popped out like that.

And I was just like, oh, it had, I had like the sickest adrenaline rush. And I was with my sister, but they were like nowhere to be seen. They're on the other side of the school.

And I just screamed out bloody murder, like mother fucker. And they all come rushing me. And then like 15 minutes later, when I'm walking down the street, the pain just hits.

And I'm just like, oh my God, I'm gonna die. Bro, I had to walk like two or three blocks back to the house with my fucking bone sticking out. And I'm just bawling my eyes out, bro.

I'm like, oh my God. They put me in the car and they're like, they feel hella bad and shit. Like every bump of the car, the road, I'm just fucking, ah, ah, ah, motherfucker.

They go in there, bro. And, uh, bro, they, I don't know what the fuck they gave me, but they numbed me up with like the painkillers and shit, dog. I was so high.

I didn't know what even being high was at the time, but I'm so high. They fucking yanked my shit back in. I'm like, uh, Mario's off the morphine, bro.

Yeah, straight up. And I'm talking to the, to the nurse. I'm like, Hey, you're kind of, she's kind of pretty.

And then I'm like, Hey, but she kind of looked like my aunt. I was like, my aunt's a prostitute, which she's not, but I was just talking shit on that one. They're like, Hey, you need to chill out.

Like you're, you're feeling a little too good right now. A little too good, buddy. Mario's calling all the nurses names.

I was on a sick one. That's funny. It had a cash for like a fucking year, dog.

What about you C-Dirty? What about you, Aaron? You guys got one? I, the only bone I broke was my ankle and I fractured it. And this was our baseball practice in high school. I don't know how funny that was, but it hurt like a bitch.

I won't say that. Yeah. I mean, nothing like too weird.

Just most of the stories are kind of cool. Like got ragdolled off a horse one time, crashed my motorcycle. So nothing too stupid.

What are you going to say, Chris? Yeah. I was going to say I got hurt. Cause I was, I was on my, uh, some, a little backstory.

My dad used to not let me drive with people who hadn't had their license for over a year. So our homie had had his license. He'd only had it for about eight months.

And Chris had to, he followed the law. Yeah. And Mario, Mario would always, Chris had to lie.

Yeah. Mario would always go in the car. And I was trying to be honest.

Like I've always been, you know, fuck, I can't do that. Like I had to be honest with my parents. You driving Mario or Mario driving you? No.

Mario went in our friend's car that hadn't been driving. You weren't even in the damn car. So what I did was, all right, you guys drive, keep it slow.

He had a, like had a, uh, you know, a little, a sports car or whatever. So I was like, I'm gonna hold on to it and I'll ride my longboard. You guys just drive me to my mom's house.

Which is way less like safe than actually bopping off in his car. But I'm thinking like, Hey, my dad's not going to be mad at me because I'm not going in the car. Yeah.

You're just going to tow me behind it. Yeah. They towed you from your house to wherever the fuck you were going.

No, we didn't get far. So listen. Yeah.

He's hanging off the side of the windows down. He's hanging off like the driver's seat. I'm just holding on.

I'm holding on. And the dude's going about 20, 25 miles an hour. I'm good at first.

And Mario, who's sitting in the passenger seat, he thinks like, Hey, let's spice it up. I was a little asshole, bro. He starts pushing the dude's leg down and the dude doesn't want to hit the brakes.

Cause if he hits the brakes, I'm flying. I was like, bro, go faster. I was like, go faster.

Hey, come on, go faster. He's like, no dude, what the fuck? And I just grab his leg and I go floor it and probably hit like 30, 40 miles an hour. Yeah.

And once I hit that, I go do a speed wobble, bro. And I hit a rock. I hit a rock and I just.

Shit. Actually, I got a story like that too. Actually, bro, I was straight.

Yeah, bro. All the way down my face. I had it on private parts.

Every bro. My whole body. He was on my finger in the tub and I just peroxide his ass.

And I was like, oh, I had no finger, no fingernail. Like, bro, it was all bad. Oh my God.

How old were you? Like 16. It was right before or right after he fucked his finger up. So we're both sitting there.

Like sophomores in high school, probably. Yeah, we're both sitting there like trying to sit out for workouts. And our coach comes and he says, you can't sit out for workouts.

I'm like, dude, I have. It's bench day. I have rug bird all in my whole hands.

He'll tell you we're straight rock. Chris looks like fucking dead. Straight rock.

Literally, bro, it was hell of a day. No, and ask Mario. Bro made me put my receiver gloves on and straight bench with the receiver gloves.

Is it Higgins? Yeah. Hey, shout out to Higgins, that's my dog. And when I pulled off my gloves, bro, my skin's all peeling off and everything.

Yeah, it was bad. It was my dog, bro. He had us tough, though.

He had us tough back in the day. People used to talk shit on that dude for being like such a hard ass. But honestly, like.

No, Mario loved him. Like, he was tough on him, too. When he hurt his finger, he didn't let you stop either.

He made you still work out. I still hit and everything. Bro, he's a dog.

Yeah, he made us all just keep working out, even if we hurt. They need more coaches like him. Kids are getting a little soft, not gonna lie.

Bro, I remember one time he came out and we're all up there. We're doing our like pre-workout stretches and shit. And this fool comes out in like some little ass pad and a helmet.

And he's like, who wants it? Who wants it? What's up? I go there and this fool just trucks my ass. I'm like, oh, motherfucker. So I get up.

I was like, all right, let me go back. And then he hit Saul. And then he hit me.

Remember, he ripped my pads off because he started chasing me. And he just ripped my pads off me, bro. He was so rough.

He was fast. I remember he was my PE teacher. So there was a few football players on the team in my class, too.

And we were doing what? I don't know what we were doing. But we were doing sprints like the whole class. And he was like, all right, if I beat you guys, we're going to do whatever we had to do.

But if whoever beats me, like one of the students, you guys can just have free play. And no, he smoked us like no one's business. For how big he was, he could move.

Yeah, yeah, he could move, bro. Like one more crazy, nasty ass story. I remember one time at practice, there's this kid.

And he's just up chugging, dawg. He's yakking everywhere. It was hot or something? Like just too much? Nobody knew what it was.

But he's like, I'm sick. I can't. I can't.

And Higgins was like, he's like, he was out drinking. What were you doing while he was out drinking? He's like, no. So Higgins just walks up in a pile of fucking yak, dawg.

And he's just like, no. He's like, all right, go sit out. There's no alcohol.

The grossest thing in our life. Nasty as fuck. But I was like, hey, that's a real motherfucker right there, bro.

No, he was for sure the down and dirtiest. How do you say, grizzled? The most grizzled man I've ever known in my life. Bro, he was a dog.

And it's funny because he showed he cared about you in really tough ways. Like he hated on us all the time. But you could tell it was in a way of like, bro, you guys could be doing better.

Quit fucking around. Quit fucking around type shit. It's funny because me and Chris on football practice.

Chris used to get in trouble all the fucking time. Because like we're talking about in class, like you guys are fucking around. Right.

My thing with Chris, like I used to just like, you know how you just do a drill and you tap or something. You come back, you wait in the line to go next. I'll come back running full speed.

I just fucking crack Chris for no reason. When I'm not paying attention. From the side, bro.

From the side. He's not even looking. I just fucking crack his ass.

He ball. Then he just start pushing me. We start getting into it.

But all the coach turns around and sees Chris just coming at me a little hard. And he's like, go fucking take 10 laps. He's like, what the fuck? Yeah, we had the best times, but we just fucked around too much.

It's like it was antagonistic shit. Like he'd get on my nerves and I'd fucking do some shit to get on his nerves. But it was the competitive part, too.

Like we really were just like hella competitive with each other. We used to have people boxing in the locker room. Oh, I remember that.

You guys were beefing out on the field. Here's the gloves, dog. They're like not like, no.

Yeah, you guys are going to box it out right now. What the fuck? Everyone just throwing blows in there, bro. I remember the homie and one of the other little square bears.

They got into it and then fucking put on the boxing gloves and then fucking they go. Neither one of these motherfuckers knew how to put their hands up and block a fight. So they're just swinging for the fence and connecting.

And the underdog just cleans them. It wasn't that one. Yeah, they're just both taking it.

They're just like, ding, ding, ding. But just still getting after it. And then it was that one.

Those were the kids that like fought the hardest, too. It was the kids that didn't know how to fight. They're just fucking throwing all their mind and like, fuck, dude, they had that strength.

Just trying to prove themselves. Let's get this last question. This one's going to be a little deeper.

I want to hear what you guys have to think. They say life's all about balance. How have you struggled with life balance? And how do you go about improving that? You know, and that's, you know, they talk about a lot of things.

Everything in moderation is OK. But, you know, sometimes you get overwhelmed and too much work, too much this, too much fun, too much, you know, a lot of different things. I think the older I get, it becomes more prevalent.

You start to get your head on straight. You start to see your priorities. You start to see what you really got to handle.

And you start kind of forcing yourself to balance it. Because if you don't, you get in like a fucking hole. And I'll say, in college, bro, I didn't give a fuck.

I was like working four jobs with the faffs of money coming in. And not a cent got saved, bro, I'll tell you what. But I had the best time of my life.

Living for today, not for tomorrow. Yeah, but like looking back on it, it's like, damn, dude, I was like, there was so much money that was coming in and out of my hands. It's like I was so stupid not to even like prioritize like real life shit, bro.

Yeah, no, for sure. Like that's something I struggle with, too, is just money. Because like, I mean, yeah, you make so much and then you just want to blow it all, too.

Because the quicker you make it, the more, the faster you want to just get rid of it, too. And you work hard for it. Yeah, too.

So you just want to have fun. But then you don't realize like when it comes time to crunch time, it's like, fuck it. A wise man told me, bro, fucking.

And they told me way back when I was in high school or college doing all this crazy, just blowing money. Bro, the parties will always be there. The good times will always be there.

Fucking your now will never be there again, you know what I'm saying? And the older I get, I'd look back and I'm like, damn, like that is some of the realest shit I ever heard, bro. Wish I would have listened. Oh, yeah, no, for sure.

And even like balancing like relationships, too, too. It's like kind of tough because like you want to be there for everybody. You want to like just have everyone around, too.

And sometimes you can't make shit happen like that's where it's like you got it. Yeah. You got to pick and choose on what battles you're going to go out for and all that, too.

Because that's something, too. I struggle with is like trying to be there for like all the homies and all the friends, like trying to see everybody and be there for everybody. And then you don't realize you got no time for yourself either.

It's where it's like, well, shit, dude, I've just been can't even. Yeah, exactly. You ain't got no trying to please people.

You ain't got no maintenance for yourself. Yeah, you're just out and about abusing yourself. You can't help people out unless, you know, you help yourself first.

Or how about like just behaving different around certain people? Like, I mean, Aaron, you know, you work construction, too. We're out there grinding in the sun all day with a bunch of men talking shit, you know, just talking how men talk to each other. And then you go home to, you know, talk to your girlfriend or your mom.

Exactly. It's like, well, you know, I cuss at this dude every, you know, not like I do that to my girl. But yeah, you know, sometimes you can't bring work home like that.

But exactly. You know, because you switch it on and you haven't switched over yet to being home. I had an old boss tell me one time that every day whenever he pulls up into his house, he used to sit in his truck for 10 minutes and just really decompress and, you know, he was a hard working dude, but he's not going to let his little girls and his wife see that, you know.

So as soon as he walked in the house, he was dad, you know, he wasn't. And that's how you got to be, too, because, yeah, you don't want to come home to some asshole all the time or, you know, dealing with that shit. And I'll say that because that's a really good ask, because throughout all the jobs, that's a good point to bring up, throughout all the jobs that I've worked, it's like you see a lot of people who don't know how to, like, obviously, we're talking about balancing it.

But like I said, turn it on and off. And it's like they'll bring home problems to work and they'll bring work problems to home. And then you wonder why their life is so fucked up or they're always dealing with some stressful ass shit or some crazy ass story.

And it's like they struggle with balancing their own. And it goes back to that common sense thing. And it's like you don't learn because you got to remember what's real and what's, you know, exactly.

Like you said, you got to turn it on and off. You got to be a dog to succeed in life. Like you just it's a doggy dog world.

You know, you got to be hard. Oh, yeah, for sure. You can't be soft when you're out.

But whenever you're back here at the house, you know, hanging around your family, you know, you just want to you got to remember to let loose. Yeah, for sure. Be a lovable dude.

Yeah. And if you bring that into into your home life, you like I'm sure you guys all feel the same way. Like we all have relationships that sometimes we come back from work or we come and we see, you know, that anger, that frustration or that you see, you know, that emotion from work kind of transposed into like our relationships at home and shit like that.

And that's something I've been trying to work on a lot better. And that's why I thought it was a good conversation with balance is because even that type of thing, because to home, work, friends, girl, like, do you have enough time for everything sometimes? Your side hustle, whatever you got going on with us waiting back, you know, back at home for you doesn't deserve to deal with your shitty day at work. Exactly.

Just because I'm frustrated or overwhelmed because I got to work eight hours and then come think about this and then do this and then make time for my friends and make time for my family and my girl and commute and everything. And it's like it ends up being a lot like for me. I commute a bunch.

So I'm out the house about 11, 12 hours a day anyway. So it becomes like so overwhelming. And I feel like that's something I struggle with is that decompression almost is being able to before coming to my other relationships, because then you even see it like us coming around.

Mario tell me like, bro, you're being hella lame. You're being hella boring. You're being hella quiet.

Or tell me something like if I'm out of my element or something. You see you take it into like other relationships. I've noticed that like you guys, what's wrong? What's wrong with me? It's like, yeah, I'm just fucking tired.

I'm sorry. One time I'm tired. My fucking wheel fell off.

Life is taking a toll on me. Because I am always just high energy and just up and smiling. But I'm tired sometimes.

What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? It's like nothing. You sure? All right. Yeah.

Not gonna lie to you. I'm fucking tired. I had a hard day.

You know, exactly. And it is what it is. Sometimes you just gotta let the boys know.

Like, yeah, dude, I had a hard one today. And it's fucked up because almost for us, we're all the same type of person that like really wants to be driven to succeed and things like that. And it's like we almost know that there becomes a point where we kind of have to put our time more into other things or like, you know, kind of be unbalanced to get to where we want to get.

Like, you know what I'm saying? Like for me, for instance, I'm working pretty far from home to the point where for my life balance, it'd be easier to be closer. But you know what I'm saying? But in the time being, I got to do what I got to do to get this off the ground to do what I got. You know what I'm saying? There's that uncomfortableness.

You got it. And it's just like you got to keep that unbalanced for a little bit to create that balance further on in life almost. You know what I'm saying? Because you might not be here tomorrow.

Exactly. And you don't want to leave nothing on the table. No chips, no nothing.

And that's my thing is like, bro, I want to I want to take risks now because I don't have a kid. I don't have certain priorities that when I have that, I know I'm going to stand ten toes on those. You can afford to fuck up a little bit right now.

Yeah. And I know when I have those priorities, I'm going to stand ten toes on those priorities and make sure nothing comes between them. So before I have that, I need to put too much time into other things.

And I need to take risks with my friends and put investments out into the world because you only get what you put out. Just get shit out of your system. Yeah.

You know, and if you don't, all you're going to do is sit back and think, man, what if I would have done it? And that's how I felt this whole time about all this shit. And that's how you get them bitter ass old people to be like, I could have done this and I could have done that. Yeah, they hit their big homie.

And there's going to be a million people that look at us like, well, who the fuck cares about what you're talking about? Why are you doing this? And it's like, because I don't want to think later on in life. What if we didn't? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like we always talked about it.

What like this has been like, you know, two people like believe you too, because when you say something to like, oh, I could see you doing that for sure. Dude, I could tell. You know what I'm saying? And another thing we always talk about is nobody wants to help push the car until they see you out outside pushing from the back anyway.

If you're just pulled over sitting in the car with your with your hazards on, nobody's going to stop. But if they see you pushing by yourself, people are going to stop and help you get that shit out the car. Don't talk to me about it.

Yes, sir. Fuck it. Don't wait for somebody to stop.

Be out there pushing the car and get people to help you push the fucking car. And that's my thing is like. Once they see, you know, then it goes to exactly exactly.

And it's slowly but surely. You feel me? And I know, but surely I know how that goes. And you know what I'm saying? And that's why for me, I'm life balance is tough for me.

But shit, I'm OK with it being imbalanced right now because I know it hopefully will pay off in the long run. It'll get better. It has to, it has to.

Yeah, for sure. But yeah, that's one thing, too. I always say to it right now.

It is what it is. But it's going to get better. It has to.

It can't be worse. It can't be worse. Oh, yeah.

At that point, just put me six feet deep, baby, because. Exactly, bro. And it's like we out here, we trying and we living, you know, and that's the only thing you could do is try.

Right. Oh, yeah. And and I think that's one of the big and by trying, it happens.

You just doing it. You can't talk shit on someone who's who's trying to put in that, you know? Yeah, it's like you could. You cannot like it.

You cannot want to support it. But you can't talk shit on somebody who's just giving you can knock the hustle. You know what I'm saying? And that's something that it takes you a long time to learn.

And for me, at least, is I always care too much about what other people thought. Like, damn, this person is going to think this. This person is going to think that it sucks to be a failure.

But yeah, I know. But if you never tried, if you never tried, you're always going to fail. Fail 101 times.

Yeah, I'm saying I was doing it wrong, but I'm saying I'm doing it right now. Yeah. Like you said, the most successful people, the billionaires in the world failed so many fucking times, but they don't they don't talk about that shit.

They talk about how much money they're making now, all the success that they've been doing. Exactly. Like for one, you know, the spray for one.

That was the four hundred and one four hundred and first. Was it really? Yeah. Yeah.

That's why it's for one. And that's what's crazy is like shit like that. What do you mean? For one recipe, the four hundred and one like attempt at a recipe.

Yeah. Fucking Clorox. That's pretty sure it's not called for nine.

Oh, it is. That's what I was like. Yeah, it's the four hundred and nine check.

Damn it, Chris. You had me going. The cognac is cornering.

That's why I was like 401. I never heard that one, but I know I got it right here in the cab. And that's why it's called the cognac corner, baby.

Exactly. Shout out Hennessy White. You're cornering right now.

Cornering us right now. Hey, I'm in that boxing boxing match right now, and I got Hennessy White in my corner. Come on.

You feel me? But we better polish this puppy off. I definitely will. We definitely will.

But you know, with that, I feel like that was a great segment. And let's just run right into our second one. The second one.

Yeah, let's go. Let's go into it. What's it going to be? Where's the phone at? It's going to be Reddit Roulette.

And so what it is is Reddit Roulette. Randomly, we choose somebody who's going to hop on Reddit, find some crazy ass story that they thought was crazy, crazy, funny, scary, whatever the hell it is. But essentially, they're going to bring it up and we're going to have our reaction and our points on it.

Give our two cents on the whole damn thing. All right. You just honestly react.

Don't think too much into it. If you don't have nothing to say, be like, man, that's fucking horseshit. Who picked that shit? Here we go with Reddit Roulette.

My name is Boy B, and I'm going to do my best to read this to y'all. I'm kind of on the Adam Sandler, that one movie we're reading, that one homie. That's my.

So here we go. Lawyer and his story of being the world's greatest wingman. My friend was sleeping over at my house.

My parents and brother were all sleeping upstairs while we were downstairs watching TV, playing video games and shit. This guy at around around 1 a.m., he asked he asked if this girl can come over. He really wants to get with this girl and I don't want to turn him down.

So I reluctantly agree on the condition that she's quiet. The three of us are hanging out and I make some excuse to leave the room so my friend can have some alone time with this girl. I'm upstairs in my room when I start hearing loud moans.

This is bad news for me, but great news for my friend. He's losing his virginity to a girl he really likes. I hear stirring in the next room and I know stirring.

What did I say? Is that what you said? I hear stirring like mac and cheese. So yeah, I was like, I'm getting jealous. I hear to the next room and I want to go in.

It's like what girls be reading. You know, they're a little porno. Oh my God with Fabio.

I hear stirring in the next room and I know that they're about there. They're about of loud. They're about to get to loud.

Lovemaking has woken my parents. Oh no. The last thing I want is for my confused father to walk in on my friend.

Man, this guy use some vulgar language. Fucking this girl in my basement. What do I do? I go to porn hub.

Click on the first video I see. Crank that shit to a hundred on my speakers and let it play for the three minutes that my buddy ended up lasting. My dad ended up coming into my room, discovering the source of noise.

I even threw in some fapping noises under the covers and awkwardly leaving. My buddy ended up having the best fucking time ever, bro. But Jesus, there were some awkward glances exchanged between my parents and I. The next morning.

Willickers Batman. Hey, hold on. So I don't know how they doesn't say how old these cats were, but to have a sleepover.

Wait, it said he's a lawyer, right? I don't think that's a that's not right. Cause you're not a lawyer. Yeah.

That's what the title is. That's just his name. If he's a lawyer.

His name's OJ's lawyer. So I think he died or something. OJ's lawyer.

Kim K's dad that's dead. No, no, no, no. Yeah.

Rob K and the other cat that tried to do for Nipsey too. Remember they're going to shoot him out. Hey, that's crazy.

But anyway, that's a writer. That's a writer. I want to know how this guy was losing his virginity and already knew how to make that stirring noise.

You have to be putting in some work to make it. He's been watching some hub. He's bro.

When I lost my virginity, I didn't even know what I was doing. I'm gonna be honest. I didn't know either, but Jesus.

I mean, to tell you the truth, to be at your homie's house with the parents home on a sleep overnight, like that's some like, I don't know, but to, to be like on your toes enough to think of that, like, fuck it. Let me just do like, Oh, you're the best, the best Ming wing man possible. You're the best friend possible.

Yeah. That's all to you. Cause if any of my friends did that for me, I'd be, you know, thank you guys for tuning in today.

He's out at the Desi Banks comedy show in the standby line and the standby line, which what means he doesn't have a ticket. It's sold out. So he's waiting to see if anybody who did have a ticket outside, he might not get in, but Hey, good luck, baby.
