They thought it was all much. Yeah. Was it? speaker-0: Yeah, I mean it wasn't to the point where I was like missing school or I was my right right that wasn't like failing or anything but I Mean I was trying to play it every single chance I could get once I got contra bro speaker-1: Okay, okay.

Entra. β wow, that's sick. Okay. β what did you spend most well, it's probably the same thing, huh? As a childhood, what did you spend most of your money on or ask for the most? speaker-0: Yeah, it would have to be video games or candy actually This is is probably this is a vice episode I'm gonna have to like self intervene myself when I when I was when I was younger, right? I Got into my mom had like a clean collection speaker-1: This gonna be embarrassing? β shoot. Okay, go. Yeah, yeah, I won't speaker-0: And I and I remember I would take I would take like the half the half dollar Or I would take a full dollar coin and I would go and I redeem him At that John's liquor and he never questioned the boy. Yeah, he's four quarters And I would play I don't I must have taken at least like 20 30 bucks, bro and Not only that like I used to go I used to go at Jolly Ranchers for five-figure discount homeboy. It's the same time speaker-1: D You were you were addicted to that, Kenny. If you have to go and steal it, you were addicted, huh? Dang couldn't get enough. speaker-0: That's Those watermelon jolly ranchers bro sour app? Yeah speaker-1: β that okay, which is better, watermelon or grape? speaker-0: β I go watermelon growing. speaker-1: Bro, the answer is always great, bro. speaker-0: I know, I know, I don't know how you like grape so much, but yeah. speaker-1: Hey, Grape 8, remember the Otter Pops? β did you ups well, this is probably the exact same thing. Did you obsess over anything? So maybe this is something that you didn't necessarily have, like video games or candy. Was there anything you maybe necessarily didn't get but you had an obsession with? speaker-0: Yeah. What age? β speaker-1: Don't s don't say you know what I'm gonna say, all right. At this is before this is before teen, this is pre teen. speaker-0: No, because I started at like seven. speaker-1: You were banging that seven uncle. β that's right, that's right. That's right. Seven? Yep. Babe. Louis was obsessed with chicks at seven. Damn, we're fine. Hey. See? I told you uncle is imperfect. I told you. speaker-0: I was hell Come on, Probably. β I just shattered the image, speaker-1: Yeah, like she's like he was in a creep. He told Laura he wasn't into girls until he was forty two. Until he met her. Yeah. No, but really you were like you at the age of seven, you think you were already obsessing a girl like seeing girls like were in class, school or just around. You already speaker-0: I don't know if you covered this on another episode. remember the very first girl I had like the most monstrous crush on. I was in kindergarten. I remember the first day of school, kindergarten, then two, Tauver Elementary. I don't even know, I don't remember her name, but she was wearing like a pink dress. The class picture, but I think in the class picture she's wearing it also, the pink dress. And I just remember being obsessed with her dude, like, man, this chick is beautiful. And I used to try to like, talked to her and it was embarrassing because I couldn't tie my shoes and the teacher had to tie my shoes. I remember, I remember. I remember. speaker-1: Why didn't you whip out the Velcro then? You can't be embarrassing and not be able to tie your shoe in front of your chica, bro. Go get Velcro, bro. Yeah. Come on. All right, Uncle. Let me ask you this though, because you're saying your first crush was at seven and you were remember it. Or five. You remember it. You remember the girl. You don't remember her name, but you remember the girl. What did that crush? 'Cause I can't remember back then. I can't even remember, you know, my memory, you know that. But what what do you think? speaker-0: The next. speaker-1: Like when you say you had a crush or what do you think those feelings were? Like, I just want to be around her, I want her to be my girlfriend. It obviously wasn't sexual. You're you're a five year old. You don't even know what that is. So what do you mean what what was the crush? You just wanted to be near her? You just thought she was pretty or you wanted her to be your friend? speaker-0: Damn, you mean- I think I wanted just to be in her presence. β think I thought, I think I, for sure I thought she was pretty. For sure I knew, I knew like, I liked the way she looked in that little dress. And I think. speaker-1: Chill, bro. She was five, bro. β yeah, yeah, cool. Yeah, yeah, cool. All right. speaker-0: And I was like, alright, bro, come on. I'll you, she's an elegant. And I think at that time, β I just knew I wanted her attention. Like I wanted her to laugh at something I said or be amazed that I could run up the slide, you know what I mean? I knew she wasn't gonna be attracted to my outfit or anything, because I wasn't drippy, but I knew I wanted her attention. speaker-1: Okay. speaker-0: I wanted her to notice me, acknowledge me. It's me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. speaker-1: Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. Louis from room what'd you say two ten? Room two. β damn, I was Mrs. Fine. That's something speaker-0: Two down, three to go. She was old bro. She was like in her 50s as if she retired like when I was in like speaker-1: Fourth grade. Damn, okay. Okay, so th that makes sense. So you didn't necessarily know what you wanted in terms of like what you wanted accomplished. speaker-0: We're out of date, β but speaker-1: You liked her and you wanted to yeah, you wanted her attention, you wanted to kinda be near her. How do you think w like what was your personality at five? Like, what if she would have been aggressive? Came to you and like, Hey, what's up? What's up? What's up, Unc? Like I saw you checking me out. You you wanna you wanna go out sometime or or what you wanna go meet up at the Yeah. What would you have done? Would you have like, Hell yeah, let's go, girl game on or would you have been scared like How were you were were you outgoing back then or were you more shy? I don't speaker-0: like You know what? I've always been kind of β a chatterbox, but I'm very standoffish at first. It's so weird. Yeah, yeah. Because I'm not one to go approach somebody. I'm not one to be easily approached because a lot of people, think, even back then, I think they just, like, fool doesn't talk. But they won't say, I get comfortable, I'm cracking jokes, and I'm trying to talk to you, and I'm having a conversation. And I think that's, like, with her, I'm assuming. speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-0: I was trying to just get her attention, to do stupid stuff as a boy, like, hey, watching that could run faster than this guy, or... Like, what can you do at five, bro, that's impressive to a five-year-old? speaker-1: Right, everything. Yeah, I know I especially speaker-0: That's how I think I was. speaker-1: Yeah. All right. All right. All right. That makes sense. Okay. β where were we at? We were at β what do you spend? We Wood USSR. Okay. Now let's get to them dirty teen years. So if you were already crushing on girls at five, I don't even want to know what you were thinking at thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. So I'm gonna list some vices. You say whether that was a vice for you or not. Being popular. speaker-0: I speaker-1: Okay, good. So it you didn't okay, good. Yeah, yeah. β girls, cheek that highness. Yeah, that was vice. Okay, good. Partying. speaker-0: nah, not really. speaker-1: Okay. Okay. Why though? You did Okay. You know what? I speaker-0: You didn't need anything. I don't know if necessarily I wasn't allowed to go out until I started driving or I just assumed I wasn't so I never really asked. Because I would get invited to parties. I remember there was kids in like eighth grade, bro, that were going to like raves and stuff. Dang. And they'd give me a pay, you want to go? said, β yeah, give me the address. I'm not going to go, bro. I just knew I wasn't going to get speaker-1: β β yeah. speaker-0: You don't see me start partying without me, He-Barry. speaker-1: Yeah. It's 'cause I I hooked up with a chick so I didn't make it probably. speaker-0: Like super bad and I went to one. my friend. β speaker-1: β okay. β looking and dressing cool. speaker-0: β no. speaker-1: Dang. Peer pressure. Dang. That's it. So it doesn't sound the only thing was girls. So it it doesn't it sounds like you're not very easily like 'cause I remember for me like kind of going through high school, I would say looking and dressing cool. That was kind of a vice because I thought that's the only thing that matters. That's the only way to get girls. That's the only so it was like, Yeah, I need this or I need that or I need a chain. I need you know what I mean? 'Cause it was like 'cause I thought that was the way to a girl's heart. I didn't know that I could, you know, find that heart on a cruise ship thirty. Yeah, charmer with just these wits on a cruise, you know what I mean? β you gotta do it. You gotta be cool, you gotta get a hearing. Remember back then you gotta have a step, you gotta have a l a line in your eyebrow, you gotta have earrings, you gotta you know. So for me, I think Yeah. You were β you were you were definitely more β balanced than me, brother. speaker-0: You know what? No, I don't think it was by choice. I remember in middle school, like, I knew what I wanted. I knew what I liked, but I didn't have it because we didn't have the money. Like, it was just, there was stuff that I was asking for, like a started jacket. Yeah. I didn't try to buy me that. You know what mean? Right, right. Jordans ain't buying me that. 501's not buying me that. speaker-1: Right, right. So you already knew so it was like why get my open why yeah? Yeah. That's like like no, I was just saying that's like me obsessing over a Ferrari. Like what why would I obsess over a Ferrari? It's never gonna happen. Like, okay. speaker-0: Yeah, whatever you do. Yeah, I mean I remember like they would buy me a pair of shoes I got the beginning of the school year and they had a last as long as possible speaker-1: Right. speaker-0: I mean sometimes they made it till Christmas sometimes I made it a little bit longer and then maybe they get to a pair for Christmas and it wasn't until like I think I've told you this before like Rosie My sister Rosie was like well the one that used to take me to like big five and I was you remember but big five you sound like the the ad and Then they would have like shoes under 29. She was on this She was under 49. I don't know. I haven't been a big five in a long time She would take me and she's like, let's go get you some shoes. I'll say speaker-1: Still do, don't they? Okay, okay. Yeah. speaker-0: like who? And we'd go and it was like, β pick anything from this num- this cat- hell yeah. there were no- speaker-1: Was it the forty nine and under or the twenty nine and under? speaker-0: Nah, I'd say like the 49, like β Dan T. Ayyyy! mean it was Jorden, but they were- speaker-1: Yeah Still though. Yeah. Still named Brands. So the swoosh, bro, come on. Hey, shout out to your s shout out to your sis, bro, for hooking you up. Yeah, speaker-0: Exactly! That's all I wanted! Bro, you don't even know man have to step down like she helped me get through as financially like come on speaker-1: Yeah. Yeah. And shout out for you, β you know, pointing that out. Respect like respecting that you speaker-0: Well, yeah, because I knew bro. knew. You know what mean? I knew that and it was like and then I remember at a certain point like I think I think the best pair of shoes I ever had in middle school were probably those Taggart Reeboks the running shoes I mean it just I think I I think they gave them to me for Christmas and I was like, β dude now I remember I would take care of them bro like I took them off. Yeah, cuz I mean bro like you have to make them last. Yeah β speaker-1: β yeah. Yeah, yeah. speaker-0: Yeah, never, I knew I was never gonna be the best dressed. I knew from the year it came out, wasn't like, best dressed was me right there, too. I just, you know. speaker-1: Hey. You did you just needed a pair of Z cabrichis in your life, brother. It would changed your life. speaker-0: And β speaker-1: Did you ever wear β what was it the p the guys something that used to wear in the was that eighties or nineties? It was like the overalls but they were like shorts and one would be down. It was like kinda like crisp style. Yeah, kinda like yeah, yeah, crisp. It was speaker-0: I'm gonna go like a hundred bucks, bro. speaker-1: Or cross color, is that what it was? Yeah. All right, all right. Okay. How about this, Louie? How about this? Okay. Pick one, which is worse. We're gonna do this as a rapid fire, but if we gotta β jump into a couple of these, we gotta jump into a couple of these, okay? β pick one which is worse to you. Gambling or drinking? speaker-0: Gamble speaker-1: Why? That one I gotta follow up with a why. speaker-0: I think gambling, drinking, I mean, obviously damages your body and maybe your brain, but gambling can financially just ruin you, speaker-1: But can alcohol ruin you financially or no? speaker-0: β If you let it yeah like with any vice If it gets here if it gets gets its grip on you. Yeah for sure, but I feel like I feel like gambling is speaker-1: That's just speaker-0: I feel like gambling is easier to hide if you're hooked. speaker-1: Okay. Would you consider yourself a gambler? Yeah. I'm a gambler. I'm a gambler, really. Huh? I I gamble every day with my life, homie. That's how I live, brother. You you heard my story about me on the zip line in Costa Rica, right? Yeah, yeah. That was gay. That was gambling, bro. I don't I don't play around. You want to do some Russian roulette right here? Right here live on the show? Damn. Damn. Damn. speaker-0: What's that face for? Maybe maybe the beer, the beer, the beer, β shotgun Russian roulette. speaker-1: Don't I Yeah, yeah. Okay. β for me I'm thinking, I don't know. Yeah, 'cause I'm not I'm not much of a gambler anyways. Like I like gambling, but I can't ever see it becoming a vice. I got a little bit crazy ever β years ago when I was betting on football, but it never got like at the worst. β shit, I'm down two hundred bucks. I gotta get back, you know. I and then drinking, I I love I like to drink, but I don't think I have a I have a problem. I don't think it's a vice for me. So it's har for me it's hard to judge those two. But I would say For me, if I was hardcore into one of β which one would be worse for me? I would think drinking, 'cause I would maybe it's destroy myself pretty quick. You know, if I was like that person that's just drinking every day, hard stuff, don't care. Whereas if I'm gambling, yeah, you're right, I'll be the street, but I'll still be slanging them dice, bro. Like win it when it on that street corner like β Nate Dog and Warren G. Remember when Nate Dogg pulled up on Warren G and he was getting jacked? Hell yeah. Nate Dog. β Hell yeah, bro. I hope you if you I hope if I'm getting jacked one day and you pull up, you don't just drive by, bro. I hope you jump off too and speaker-0: If you're over here off of Bouquet Canyon or something like that. speaker-1: Only that only over there, huh? speaker-0: I don't think I'll be up off of Avenue S anytime soon, Come on. speaker-1: Hey, okay, all right, yeah, you're right, you're right. Okay. How about this speaker-0: If you let me know, speaker-1: Yeah, but I don't want you to just roll up and drive by. β shoot, you see You see nephew getting jacked? β yeah, yeah too. speaker-0: I'm never a little stressed, Man, hey when they gonna have to regulate speaker-1: β that was good. All right. Which is β which is worse? Chasing fame or chasing fortune? speaker-0: Tasting fame bro for sure. Why you can lose your fortune bro if you're chasing fame speaker-1: You can lose your fortune if you're chasing fame. But what about those people that are just addicted to money? That's all they care about. Yeah. That's probably Yeah, you're right. Cause those people that are chasing fame and they never get it, it's like that's all they care about. It ruins their lives. Yeah. That you're right. Good call. Good call. All right. Sports addiction or social media addiction, my man. speaker-0: I you're right, I'm saying. sports as in you're like playing sports? speaker-1: No, like those psycho, you know, I won't say Raider fans, but I yeah, I'm a Raider. Like psycho sports fans that are just Yeah, yeah, they're crying 'cause speaker-0: Take some of their vibes. The... would say social media. don't think social media is worse than that? Because sports is seasonal. Social media is every day all day. speaker-1: Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Yeah. And you're right, because like, okay, the Dodgers β I can obsess over them, but what is it? They play one once maybe every day or every other day, whatever, for a couple hours. If you have a social media addiction, like like my girl Dirty D does, look at look at that. β I wish I could get put the camera on her right now. Phone like this, bro. That phone is stuck to her cheek every day. Nah, bro, she don't she don't read books, bro. She's on β what are you on now? speaker-0: Beating the butts. speaker-1: β she said she's on Tinder. God damn. It never stops, bro. It never stops. speaker-0: I told her to stop but she doesn't stop. speaker-1: Hey, what did I do? What did I do wrong to everybody? Why how come I'm giving It's what you didn't do anyway. Yeah, you're right though. Social media addiction can take over your life, you know, and you can become very unproductive. Okay. β which is harder to quit? A bad habit or a bad person? speaker-0: You what you didn't do, bad person, speaker-1: Harder to quit than a hardcore smoking cigarette addiction. speaker-0: think so. I think so because I think, think like smokier gives you, gives you some sort of like, it's like instant gratification or whatever. But a bad person might have a connection to your past and have, you're always gonna, if you let it, you're gonna find a reason to keep going back to it. Yeah. A lot of times, I mean, you know what mean? speaker-1: Right. Right, right. speaker-0: Like, cigarettes are really bad for you, but I think a bad person is even worse. speaker-1: Yeah. And you know what? Bad habits, it's like you know, like if I'm a smoker, I know I know that it's a bad thing to do. Sometimes bad people, you don't know they're bad until you find out they they yeah, you find out they stabbed your tire with a knife and they β they egged your house and you're like, damn, I I thought that was a good person. So it's you're right. A bad person is harder 'cause they they can disguise it, bro. Anyways, okay. β what about this? Is jealousy a vice? speaker-0: It can be for sure, hell yeah. speaker-1: Was it ever a vice for you? speaker-0: Nah, for me no. I mean... I think if I ever felt any kind of jealousy towards somebody, I think at that point I justified it, but I never carried anything out. I never treated them different. I just kind of said, you know what? And I told you, a lot of stuff that I was jealous about when I was younger, as a kid, as a teenager, was because I didn't have certain things. I remember, I think I told you, there's this kid in elementary that just was always dressed nice, bro. speaker-1: Uh-huh. speaker-0: And I hated him. Like I was jealous, bro, because he had all the attention. Girls just flock to this dude. Who's this guy? Straight little Where is he? You know what mean? I hope he's doing well. I don't wish him bad. But I do remember feeling like, damn, man, this fool has nice. He's always looking just clean. Everything I wanted to be was that guy. You know what mean? And I was jealous, but it never consumed me where I'm like, let me go fight this fool. speaker-1: Hell yeah. Where is he at? Where is he at? Right, that's what I wanna add. So yeah, did it ever lead to like anger? Yeah. Okay. β for me, yeah. I was I was definitely a lot more jealous when I was younger. I was probably maybe insecure. Even Desiree's to this day says I like you are still jealous, but I feel like I I am out of that phase, right, babe? Am I out of it or am I s am I still in it? Yeah. Yes, I'm in it or yes I'm out of it. β my god, bro. She still think speaker-0: I mean it can be, but not for me. speaker-1: Dang, Jesus. Does anybody think does anybody think highly of me anymore? Dang. All right. But anyways, I feel like I'm not as as jealous, you know. So but yes, jealousy absolute. I've seen some people that are like dating chicks and they can't get over like they're jealous about and it ends up ruining β It's like a I've seen that where it's just like Yeah, that that that's yeah. Okay. She said, I am, but I'm not crazy like that. Cause you know why she says that? 'Cause one time speaker-0: and eat something alive. speaker-1: She's walking around with her ass out and some daisy dukes. I'm like, hey, hey, put some clothes on. She's like, man, so so damn jealous. If people want to enjoy my if people want to enjoy my ass, let β look. And I'll go I'm like, all right, all right, hey, you're right. Hey, you worked hard for it. Show that shit off then, girl. Damn. My bad. Okay. How about this? Is laziness is laziness a vice, Lily. And I know it's not for you, but do you think it's for other people? speaker-0: there. speaker-1: What do you think about I have a little quick question follow up on that laziness? What do you think? Is that is laziness you think is it just ingrained in people? Is it taught? Is it a little bit of both? And can you if somebody is lazy, can you change them, do you think? Or is it like, nah, this person is lazy, we just gotta work around it? speaker-0: Man, honestly bro, I've thought about this a lot. I think it's a, it's a, it can be something that's, that's just ingrained in you. And for sure it's something that can be taught. And I also think it's something that's enabled. speaker-1: Peace. Okay. speaker-0: I think if you get with somebody who's lazy, obviously I feel like 100 % you should be yourself at all times. speaker-1: Okay. speaker-0: Like if you ask Laura from the day we started hanging out till now, I feel like I've been 100 with her since day one. I've been a goofball when I'm a goofball and I need to be serious. I'm serious. I'm hardworking. whatever, you know? And I feel like if I was lazy and she accepted me as lazy and she enabled me where it was like, you know, we don't need to just let him be. That's how he is. that's never gonna change. know what I mean? And like I said, it's not a bad thing. mean, there's some people, also I think the way you, the way laziness is perceived is very different to everybody. Like I might, I'm a big fan of doing nothing, Especially when we're really busy. especially when we're really busy. Like we have, speaker-1: Okay. Yeah. speaker-0: When Mary was working those two jobs, bro, it was busy for me. I felt overwhelmed. felt like I couldn't sometimes I couldn't, I couldn't handle it. I just, I, know, cause I'd be tired and I'm just, I'm gonna go to sleep. But now that she's back now that we're back to mail in, like there's a lot more time. you, you, start to realize certain things. And then I'm a big fan of like, dude, like soccer's done. Nick hasn't started any sports school is winding down. on a Sunday, just chill bro and do nothing. And have no problem with that. Some people might think that's lazy. Like dude, you have time to do stuff. Right? And then to me, like I don't feel that that's being lazy. I feel like I've it because I am grinding five, six days a week. speaker-1: Yeah, yeah. Okay. Right. Right? Yeah. What? Go ahead. No, no, I was saying and you you you've worked hard so that that Sunday you can like you know I mean you you did grind. And if something was absolutely needed to be done that Sunday, you would probably step up. Yeah. speaker-0: So, and if Yeah, I can put it off for next week, it's cool. You know what mean? Because now we do have next weekend off, it's cool, whatever. But there's some people that like, that could be lazy. And there's people that are just okay with not doing anything ever. mean, bro, if you can survive, if you can make it in this world by being lazy, I ain't more power to you. I'm not gonna put you down. I'm not gonna say anything against that to each other and bring. speaker-1: Yeah, I agree too. I I think it definitely can be a vice. β but you're right. I kind of 'cause I'll catch myself being lazy and then I'll catch myself when I need to get something that I need to get some I'll I'll take care of it. But yeah, you're right. It that's like to each their own, who are we to judge? Like, β hey, you're lazy, bro. 'Cause I clean the whole house eighteen times in one day, you know, you don't. So you I consider Right. So it's like you're right, there's different levels levels to it. Okay. is speaker-0: In a week. β speaker-1: Workaholism a vice. So the opposite this person doesn't doesn't stop and is that a vice? How disap how destructive can that be? speaker-0: It's of lazy. It's opposite of being lazy because there's some people that, well, I have this and I'm going to do this. But then it's like, bro, your days are just consumed by your job and you don't enjoy anything because you're too busy worrying about work. And then a lot of times, bro, I mean, I don't know how you are at your job, you can easily be replaced. speaker-1: Right, right, right. Yeah. β sh one thousand percent, homie. AI could replace me right now. AI could replace they could replace me on this show, homie. In my place, huh? Yeah, I'd be you're right. No, but like but like serious, everybody is replaceable if you think you know, you might not be able to replace with as good of talent, but everybody's technically replaceable, you know. Will the job get his done as well? Yeah, maybe, maybe not. Probably not. speaker-0: Bird feeder, homeboy. But life can change, right? speaker-1: Yeah, life goes on, exactly. Okay. β yeah, I think workaho workaholism is definitely a vice. speaker-0: I think that's worse than being lazy. speaker-1: Yeah, like I used to work with this lady. I'm not gonna say her name, but she was like the smartest lady older lady, smartest lady I freaking ever met. But sh her work her work ethic was insane. So she would get there at I don't even know what time, I'm gonna assume five or six. And then she wouldn't leave till five or six. And then she's the type that would look at you like when you're leaving, like when you're done with your nine or ten hour shift, like you're gonna really leave? And then Every single week it seemed like, hey, I'm coming in on Friday. You gonna you wanna come in? I had nothing to do, but I was like, β yeah, I guess. She was there all day, every day. And I guarantee at home she was probably thinking about like she was just obsessed with work. And it kind of made me think like, damn, if I had a an old lady who was obsessed with work, would I like that? Like, no, I I speaker-0: If speaker-1: I want some attention, you know what I mean? β all you do is all you care about is work. All you do is work. Like, what about me, brother? You know what I mean? I'm just sitting here wasting away. So it's like, yeah, I I get it. speaker-0: You miss out on life, speaker-1: Yeah. Yeah, you miss out on life. And then in the end you look back and like, Yeah, you respect your career, but it's like that's all you were. You know what I mean? Like you speaker-0: Did they give you a plaque? Maybe a good watch? speaker-1: Exactly. What are they gonna give? Yeah. All right. How about this one? Cause β I know I've talked with you about this one offline. Pornography. Is that a vice? speaker-0: For sure. Hell yeah. I mean, why? speaker-1: Why? What do you mean? What like, okay, so if if after this show Desiree's knocked out, we're done, I got a little gassed up talking about, you know, let's make him wet or whatever. So I decided to throw on a little on a little porn, a little, what is it? Porn hub, a little porn hub. What is that gonna hurt? How is that gonna hurt anyone? You know what I mean? Like me checking out a little a little a little pea, a little porn. speaker-0: Pornhub, pH one. Have you seen have you seen a movie called think it's called darn John speaker-1: β that movie is sick. Bro. That movie is sick. β he he murders β Scarlett Johansson. speaker-0: He doesn't murder a fool anytime long. speaker-1: He banged the shit out of her. I then murder her in bed, homie. Shoot! speaker-0: Yeah, but you'd murder. Bro, it is insane because when I watched that movie I was like, uh-huh I was like wait a minute like I Didn't think you know, I mean like I didn't I didn't realize that there was people like that. Yeah. Yeah I remember the first time I saw any kind of nudity or pornography and I was young but I was little speaker-1: Yeah, that he did have a Yeah. Amax? speaker-0: I was at the heavy speaker-1: β yeah, you're running through th those free ads, huh? speaker-0: And guess where it was at? It was in front of John's Liquor. speaker-1: Yeah, you I β we should we should start a new John's liquor, bro. speaker-0: Hey, I'm gonna take a picture in front of John's Liquor. I gotta put that up, And I remember, I can read it down, bro. I went to John's Liquor. I think I was playing Street Fighter. And I walked out, no more money, right? I walked out. And some dude, and I don't know if you remember the newsstands, right? So the LA Express was a quarter, right? But somebody had dropped a quarter in and they pulled one out, but they pulled the whole stack. speaker-1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. speaker-0: Say back the door. speaker-1: β nice, nice. speaker-0: So I walked out and I was like... I opened it I was like, oh my God, and I grabbed one and I put it down on my shirt. And I remember I tucked it under my shirt and I ran like, is that name? What's his name? Usain Bolt. I'm jamming, dude. I ran. And I went straight to my room and I fell under my pillow. speaker-1: β I think you said which if you're speaker-0: And my dad goes, what's wrong with you? I was like, all right, I have to go to the bathroom. And she's like, why did you go to your room first? Like, said, no, no, I have to go to the bathroom. So I went to the bathroom and I washed my hands. took a shit. No, no, no, no, come. It wasn't until like later. But I remember I was sitting on the couch and I'm just like, dude, I want to go to sleep. But it's not even, it's not even bed. It's like 630. Yeah, I'm like, I want to go to the speaker-1: Okay. I'm there, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, it was right, two o'clock. speaker-0: I wanna go sleep, I wanna go sleep. And as soon as like 8 o'clock hit, I was like, RMI, I wanna go sleep. And she's like, it's 8 o'clock. I was like, yeah, yeah, I'm tired. And she's like, you're doing a good job. I brush my teeth, I went to bed, and I had a like a flashlight. And I'm looking at it, and I'm just like, oh my god, this is crazy. speaker-1: Would it show wasn't it just advertisements or show speaker-0: It was was it was articles. Like it was articles about like like, you know, they're having a whatever a point convention at the receipt of control, blah, blah, like stuff like that. then there was pictures. speaker-1: β was that? Nude? Nude pictures? speaker-0: Yeah, there was some nude pictures for strip clubs and then they had stars where the female nipples would be. speaker-1: β yeah. speaker-0: Hey bro, yeah, that's all I needed bro. That's all I needed speaker-1: I'm getting gassed up, bro. Yeah. But speaker-0: You know, that was my introduction to that. then, mean, from there it went to, it went to like the Playboy channel, Spice channel, yeah, Skin on Max. Videos that I'd come across. I remember one time we found a box behind one of the dumpster and it was just full of like VHS tapes and magazines. speaker-1: I used to get down there. Man, you straight you struck gold? You didn't tell me you struck gold. β speaker-0: No, only grabbed, I think I grabbed like one or two movies and then I put them in my back pocket and I went home. speaker-1: Yeah, you didn't probably have a VCR, did you? speaker-0: I did, I didn't know. speaker-1: You had a V C R in your room? Yeah. When you went to you told your mom again I go go to bed at five o'clock or speaker-0: It's way closer to seven now. Every day was an hour earlier. speaker-1: β my god. Yeah. You know, did you ever ha I used to have a subscription to Girls Gone Wild? β yeah, that shit was wild. But see the only thing is that β they they delivered it and it was in like nondescript they call it nondescript packaging or something, so you can't tell what it was. But β my grandma opened it. She didn't know what it was, she just thought it was a package and opened it up and speaker-0: You didn't me bro, I didn't have that. speaker-1: That's when I think I fully fell out of like I fell out of favor with you know, she was she never looked at me the same as it her innocent little Polly was like, β it's supposed to was a little porn freak, bro. So But you're right. I could see how that you're right, that movie, that that's an addiction. 'Cause see I I just think, okay, a guy checking out chicken, it's not an addiction, but you're right. He remember every single day he had a put on a jerk or head routine. And then remember when he would speaker-0: Probably once I can't. Get a routine, speaker-1: when he would bang chicks, in his head he was thinking of the porn. He wasn't even thinking of the chicks, he was speaker-0: Barbara Sugarman, Sure. That was her name. That was, β what's her name? The character. Scarlett Johansson. Yeah, I wish. speaker-1: β that was her name? Nah, she was bad. Who who would you have rather had? A little quick, who would you have rather? Her? Scarl Scarjoe or Julianne Moore, the one he ended up with? speaker-0: Not knowing what I know now from the movie I would say yeah started your hands Before the movie after yeah, Julianne more speaker-1: Scar Joe, but from the movie. Why 'cause they made 'cause they made passionate love, huh? Yeah. speaker-0: Whatever no they get down They get down. It's not it's not a it's not a job like it was with the speaker-1: Yeah, that's why I tell Des Hey, girl, this ain't a job, girl. Enjoy it. Have have fun, girl. You don't have to clock in. She go β I gotta clock in again You know, I'm like, no, great, hey, don't do that. speaker-0: It was over, I didn't expect it to be over. speaker-1: All right, how about this one? Wait, what was I doing? Gambling or drinking β jealousy about β porn. Okay. All right. Last one. So they have porn. β before we get to the last segment, which is Uncle Knows Best. Honestly, looking at all those, because you look at gambling, drinking, chasing fame, social media, sports addictions, you know, cigarettes, alcohol, jealousy, all this stuff. I think there's all that you're right, all of it can be a vice and could lead to your downfall. But there's just kind of different degrees, huh? 'Cause like if you're a addicted to drinking and alcohol, you're you're gonna die early, you know. You're you're an alcoholic, you're gonna die early. If you're addicted to porn, yeah, you're probably never gonna get married or you're gonna lose your family or something when they find out you're a freak. You know what I mean? When they find all those when they find all those blow up dolls or when like Desiree found my my my box of porn. I thought she was gonna shoot me. She was I was like, girl, you like dude, man, you you got yourself a a one hundred percent full grown man, girl. Well speaker-0: This was part of the investment group. speaker-1: Yeah, bro. Like, you know, I've been I porn has been in my life since I β I was old enough to walk. So it's like, you know. But I did I th Did I get rid of all my porn bed for you? I think I did. I think I think she made me throw it out. I bro I had Maxum magazines, F H β I had all kinds of stuff. I did ex No, it's not porn and I liked it, but I I was like I was like, Yeah, let's just let's throw that shit away, man. Plus you can get everything on the internet anyways. I don't need no magazine. All right, β Uncle knows best. Hey Unc, which is worse as a vice? Money and greed or ego and pride? And β explain your answer, please. speaker-0: Money and greed, or ego and pride? I think ego and pride. speaker-1: Is a worse vice? Yeah. Bro, greedy people are the worst, bro. No? speaker-0: Yeah, but you know what? Ego and affects all walks of life. Money and greed is only for rich people. speaker-1: No, but β don't you think I think you can be poor and be obsessed with money and greed. You just don't ever get it, because maybe you're not smart or you're not right but you're constantly obsessed with it. β you're saying it's not gonna lead to like a downfall or it's not gonna ruin your life that you're obsessed with. speaker-0: You're poor, and you're obsessed with money, you're only hurting yourself, you know what mean? speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-0: Like an Elon Musk who's a trillionaire, right? And he doesn't do anything to better society, to better humanity. Like, what good is it, bro? What good is it? I have money, but what are you gonna do with it? Now all of a sudden? speaker-1: Yeah. Right, exactly. When you that you can't take it with you. Yeah, yeah. Which you you can have gen generational wealth as just a a one billionaire, you don't need to be a trillionaire, you know what I mean? Like yeah. speaker-0: Yeah, this mo- come on dawg, he's firing people that were making... How much money bro? Under a hundred? Because it's- it's wasteful? speaker-1: How do you lay off people when you're a trillionaire, bro? You and you pay less taxes than like ninety percent of all Americans. Okay, so it but explain this then to me. Yeah, explain ego and pride to me then. Why why can that lead to a bigger downfall? speaker-0: Zach, you're next. Yeah, exactly. You know what mean? I think because that affects anybody from anybody from the the richest to the poorest and everybody in between. speaker-1: But what if your ego is just I have it I want like I have a big ego. I wanna be the most talked about, the most popular, and I have a lot of pri you know, like, yeah, pride. β some I should I should let stuff go or whatever, but but is that really that destructive? You know, that you have a super big ego and speaker-0: If you're trying to feed your ego, it might be at the cost of somebody that has nothing to do with you. speaker-1: Okay. What about what if greed and money drives you to steal and to cheat and to rip people off? speaker-0: It's gonna it's going to for sure But you're doing it at a different level like Elon Musk hasn't done anything directly to me But I can tell you some people that have been their ego and their pride to have screwed me over for sure speaker-1: Okay. All right. Okay. I see what okay. Okay. I see what you're saying. I see what And honestly and honestly there is no right answer. That's what this was a trick question This was a trick question, homie. There is no right answer because How do you say which is worse? Money and greed or ego and pride? Shit, I got all of them. I got all of them. And I got that and I got that porno porno vice. So it's like, hey, I'm a walking vice, you know what I mean? speaker-0: BONG! 4-ton. Right on your volume of 300, right, Nobleman? speaker-1: Yeah, that's my vice right now, bowling pins, bro. God, I can't can't throw a damn ball for to save my life. All right, brother. so every gentleman has a vice. I think we could admit that, right? It might not be the biggest vice, it might be a small vice, but the smart ones learn from it. But the wise the wise ones will conquer it. β speaker-0: There you go. speaker-1: Yeah. And I'm about to say, as always, thank you for hanging out with us. But β I wanna give you a little last word. Do you have a little something β about about vices? A little something for the kids for the future. For the future, Jen. speaker-0: I mean, the only thing I can say is if you know you have a vice, if you partake in anything that we discussed, same thing bro, moderation. Don't let it consume you. Don't let it take over your life. Don't let it control your decisions because you feel that, β that's going to get you to the next whatever. you know, enjoy everything in moderation. speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-0: Drink a drink, don't drink as much, don't drink every day. If you gamble, make sure, like, what's that saying? Scared money don't make money. If you're scared to lose it, don't gamble it. speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-0: Yeah, I mean, moderation. Moderation will get you to a better place than you're headed. speaker-1: Hey, were you ever, β like as a kid or even maybe as an older, you know, whatever, β were you ever a gymnast? The one parents ever signed you up for for gymnastics? speaker-0: I don't even want to answer that. First I don't know where that was in Quaimo was that gonna go to gymnast? On the bridge of Alice Park did not have gymnastics So where are you going with this joke? speaker-1: β 'Cause I'm saying, have you ever seen a gymnast when they walk on the balance beam? They it it's perfect. They're perfectly balanced. And I was giving you a compliment saying you always walk that perfect line of like, yeah, you can do a little, but not like you're always on that balance beam. So I was just figuring out like, Louis looks pretty limber, I bet maybe he maybe he was a gymnast back in the day.
