- 0:40SPEAKER_01: And kicking off that block, I heard Iron Maiden with the Red and the black.
- 0:45SPEAKER_01: So a block of British metal.
- 0:48SPEAKER_01: That's right.
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: So there you go.
- 0:50SPEAKER_01: Good stuff.
- 0:51SPEAKER_01: I like it.
- 0:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 0:52SPEAKER_01: All of it.
- 0:53SPEAKER_01: All of it.
- 0:53SPEAKER_01: Good British metal.
- 0:55SPEAKER_01: That's right.
- 0:59SPEAKER_01: My nephew, Joel, texts me.
- 1:04SPEAKER_01: He was listening to the first segment,
- 1:06SPEAKER_01: and you had mentioned the fact that there was a rash of people stealing shoes
- 1:11SPEAKER_01: and things.
- 1:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he said that he had a, what did he say here?
- 1:17SPEAKER_01: He says he had some Reebok pumps.
- 1:22SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah.
- 1:23SPEAKER_01: And they got stolen.
- 1:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:26SPEAKER_02: That was the dumbest concept of all time, too.
- 1:29SPEAKER_02: Pump it up like it did anything.
- 1:30SPEAKER_02: You just made your fucking shoes tighter.
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you just made the landing a little softer.
- 1:36SPEAKER_02: Did it, though?
- 1:38SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 1:38SPEAKER_01: I never owned any, but I remember it had that little button on the heel and pump it up.
- 1:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I had a pair.
- 1:47SPEAKER_02: I was a shoe guy for a while.
- 1:48SPEAKER_02: I really was.
- 1:50SPEAKER_02: I hate to admit that I was because that's such a fucking fruity thing to be,
- 1:54SPEAKER_02: but I was definitely a shoe guy for a while.
- 1:57SPEAKER_01: It's Chris Marcos.
- 2:00SPEAKER_02: Dude, let me just tell you,
- 2:01SPEAKER_02: in Korea especially, they had all the knockoffs, but they were good knockoffs.
- 2:07SPEAKER_02: So it was like a rebork instead of a Reebok, you know, or whatever.
- 2:12SPEAKER_02: I bought and sent home, no lie, 200 pairs of shoes.
- 2:19SPEAKER_01: Really?
- 2:19SPEAKER_01: Because they were so cheap.
- 2:22SPEAKER_01: I don't think I've owned 200 pairs of shoes in my entire life.
- 2:26SPEAKER_02: Dude, they were like $3 a pair.
- 2:30SPEAKER_02: And I would send them home and they were shit.
- 2:33SPEAKER_02: You know, but I sent them to everybody I knew, you know, because everybody I knew.
- 2:37SPEAKER_02: None of my friends could afford Air Jordans or whatever,
- 2:41SPEAKER_02: but I sent them some Air Jorgans or whatever.
- 2:45SPEAKER_02: Air Jorgans?
- 2:46SPEAKER_02: You know, or Trolex watches and stuff.
- 2:49SPEAKER_02: That was another thing I sent a bunch home of was fake Rolexes.
- 2:53SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 2:54SPEAKER_02: But it was because you could buy them down in the Ville for $3 to $5.
- 2:57SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 3:00SPEAKER_02: So you'd go into a shoe store and you'd find something that just looked cool
- 3:04SPEAKER_02: and it said Nike on the side.
- 3:05SPEAKER_02: You didn't care if it was Nike or not.
- 3:07SPEAKER_01: You knew it wasn't.
- 3:08SPEAKER_01: Right, of course.
- 3:09SPEAKER_02: But you just bought them.
- 3:10SPEAKER_02: So I bought them for all my friends.
- 3:12SPEAKER_02: And then once I had been there about a year,
- 3:14SPEAKER_02: I was like, well,
- 3:15SPEAKER_02: I better send some home for myself because there was actually a rumor
- 3:19SPEAKER_02: that went around that when you change stations,
- 3:23SPEAKER_02: they call it ETS, when you ETS that you couldn't...
- 3:28SPEAKER_02: You couldn't take more than X number of pairs of shoes.
- 3:31SPEAKER_02: So I started mailing them home.
- 3:34SPEAKER_02: And I remember when I got home the first time,
- 3:36SPEAKER_02: like I went home before I went to Arizona and my mom had a closet
- 3:43SPEAKER_02: that was just filled to the top of the closet with boxes.
- 3:48SPEAKER_02: And all of the boxes were shoes, track suits, and tuxedos.
- 3:54SPEAKER_02: Like I had bought three or four tuxedos.
- 3:58SPEAKER_02: Because you can get them tailor-made and whatever for like $25 or whatever.
- 4:02SPEAKER_02: So one of these weeks, maybe even in the next segment, I'll go get my tuxedo.
- 4:08SPEAKER_02: I had the white Steve Perry tux jacket.
- 4:11SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 4:12SPEAKER_02: But of course I wore it all the time.
- 4:15SPEAKER_02: I didn't just keep it as a tuxedo.
- 4:18SPEAKER_02: I wore it when I was out in the middle or whatever.
- 4:21SPEAKER_01: Yes, you just wore it as part of your attire.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: And I had all my friends sign it and it has blood stains all over it from when I was fighting.
- 4:30SPEAKER_02: Like both, I'll get it next segment.
- 4:33SPEAKER_02: I'll get that jacket and bring it in here and show you.
- 4:36SPEAKER_02: But literally like the cuffs are covered with blood from me fighting all the
- 4:43SPEAKER_01: goddamn time.
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: You fought in your jacket?
- 4:45SPEAKER_01: Fuck yeah, I didn't care.
- 4:47SPEAKER_01: I was surprised you didn't rip it.
- 4:50SPEAKER_01: It fit, it was custom.
- 4:52SPEAKER_02: Fit me nice.
- 4:53SPEAKER_01: But even if you're moving quickly, you rip out the seam around the shoulder or whatever.
- 4:59SPEAKER_01: It's good craftsmanship, man.
- 5:01SPEAKER_01: Apparently so.
- 5:02SPEAKER_01: Could withstand a fight or three.
- 5:06SPEAKER_01: You could get into a fist of cuffs and not spoil the suit.
- 5:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 5:11SPEAKER_02: But it's like my favorite of all my Korea stuff,
- 5:14SPEAKER_02: it's my favorite thing that I actually brought back with me just because All
- 5:19SPEAKER_02: of my friends,
- 5:20SPEAKER_02: you know, at some point I was like, I don't want to forget any of these people.
- 5:23SPEAKER_02: So I had them signing it on with black, you know, black marker.
- 5:26SPEAKER_02: So it's from top to bottom, it's signed with, you know, bullshit.
- 5:31SPEAKER_02: A lot of it is like you're a fucking dick or whatever, but who cares?
- 5:35SPEAKER_02: It's my favorite collectible of anything that I have.
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: You're like a walking stuffed animal.
- 5:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah, pretty much.
- 5:42SPEAKER_01: Remember that was a thing too, where some people sign your stuffed animal.
- 5:46SPEAKER_02: Your stuffed animal.
- 5:47SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I remember that too.
- 5:49SPEAKER_02: I was never that gay.
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, that's a chick thing.
- 5:52SPEAKER_01: That was a chick thing.
- 5:53SPEAKER_01: That was a girl thing.
- 5:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was two steps before Beanie Baby collection.
- 6:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah, or signing your cast.
- 6:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I never got to signing your cast.
- 6:07SPEAKER_02: I never wanted anybody to sign my cast.
- 6:10SPEAKER_01: I've never broke a bone, so I've never had a cast.
- 6:13SPEAKER_02: I've had casts on both hands or both wrists.
- 6:17SPEAKER_02: I broke this hand and this wrist.
- 6:22SPEAKER_02: And the worst part is when everybody goes to sign it, what's the first thing they do?
- 6:26SPEAKER_02: They grab it.
- 6:28SPEAKER_02: Like they grab it to pull it toward them and it fucking hurts.
- 6:31SPEAKER_02: It's like, why are you grabbing that shit?
- 6:33SPEAKER_02: You want to sign it?
- 6:34SPEAKER_02: Sign it.
- 6:35SPEAKER_02: Then I started to, you know, well, I honestly haven't had a cast in forever.
- 6:40SPEAKER_02: Now I get those.
- 6:41SPEAKER_02: Even when I did break, I broke this hand about five years ago.
- 6:45SPEAKER_02: And when I broke it, I didn't even, they wanted to cast it.
- 6:48SPEAKER_02: And I was like, just give me the fucking, you know, the strap one.
- 6:52SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 6:52SPEAKER_02: And I wore the strap one around for a while and it healed.
- 6:55SPEAKER_01: You wore a strap on.
- 6:56SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, I wore that too.
- 6:58SPEAKER_02: A small dick, man.
- 6:59SPEAKER_02: I needed a strap on.
- 7:05SPEAKER_02: So funny.
- 7:06SPEAKER_02: Fuego, Chris is the gayest straight person I've ever got.
- 7:10SPEAKER_02: It's true.
- 7:12SPEAKER_02: I did a lot of faggy things.
- 7:13SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to lie.
- 7:14SPEAKER_02: Look, most people wouldn't admit to it.
- 7:16SPEAKER_02: I just don't care.
- 7:19SPEAKER_02: It is what it is.
- 7:19SPEAKER_01: Well, but you had an agenda with your reason you did things.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: You didn't do it out of sincerity because you were truly interested in a lot of the things.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: You did it just for the... Chicks?
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just for the...
- 7:38SPEAKER_01: The impetus behind it was just trying to appeal to the girls.
- 7:42SPEAKER_02: And that's so true.
- 7:43SPEAKER_02: All the music, a lot of that music.
- 7:46SPEAKER_02: There's a reason that I know every song from Adamant and the Romantics
- 7:51SPEAKER_02: and Corey Hart and Pick Your Favorite Fruity Band from the 80s.
- 7:56SPEAKER_02: And it was because the girls liked that stuff.
- 7:59SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm 16 years old.
- 8:01SPEAKER_02: You get a girl in your car,
- 8:02SPEAKER_02: 90% of those girls in 1985 did not want to hear Van Halen or Motley Crue
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: or whatever.
- 8:11SPEAKER_02: They wanted to hear Purple Rain.
- 8:15SPEAKER_02: They wanted to hear, you know, I'm walking on sunshine.
- 8:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 8:20SPEAKER_02: That's what they wanted to hear.
- 8:22SPEAKER_01: Katrina and the waves.
- 8:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 8:24SPEAKER_02: And I would have all that stuff in my car just for that purpose.
- 8:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 8:29SPEAKER_02: I mean, no bones about it.
- 8:30SPEAKER_02: I'm not even embarrassed about it.
- 8:32SPEAKER_02: Got me a lot of blowjobs in that car by knowing fucking Never Surrender by Corey Hart.
- 8:40SPEAKER_02: And singing it, just being in the car going, just a little more time before.
- 8:46SPEAKER_02: You know, the girl's like, oh, I love that you love that song.
- 8:50SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, I sure do.
- 8:52SPEAKER_01: Boy in a box.
- 8:56SPEAKER_02: He was lousy.
- 8:58SPEAKER_02: I saw him in concert.
- 8:59SPEAKER_02: I think it was him in the romantics, actually, down at Music Hall.
- 9:04SPEAKER_02: What I like about you.
- 9:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 9:06SPEAKER_02: Romantics.
- 9:07SPEAKER_02: Hold me tight.
- 9:10SPEAKER_02: I hear the secrets that you keep.
- 9:13SPEAKER_02: When you're talking in your sleep.
- 9:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 9:17SPEAKER_02: They sucked.
- 9:18SPEAKER_02: They were bad.
- 9:19SPEAKER_02: Adam Ant was bad, too.
- 9:20SPEAKER_02: I know a lot of people liked Adam Ant.
- 9:22SPEAKER_02: I hated Adam Ant.
- 9:24SPEAKER_02: You know, that whole.
- 9:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
