6:56

the part of We're

6:59

all working up just hearing people down way down

7:01

the hallway You

7:15

know for the longest time I had a crypto racehorse

7:18

Nah, that was a thing dude. What do

7:20

you mean? What is a crypto? What is

7:22

that? There's a crypto horse track now

7:24

where you can literally have you could buy

7:26

a crypto racehorse That literally is one of

7:29

one and my buddy for my birthday

7:31

bought me a horse named Kent Blasemore He

7:37

was greeted from like to like top

7:39

of the line like bloodlines like oh

7:41

this like this crypto racehorse won so

7:43

many races and this one did too

7:45

and I was so

7:47

stoked I like I think I did. One

7:49

can't wrap my head around this if it's

7:51

a digital thing like this that seems to

7:53

be So much more easily manipulated than an

7:55

actual horse race. It's different Ryan. Here goes

7:58

the ears. Yeah. That

8:00

is not your racehorse versus other

8:02

like ah you know that these are

8:04

like. Ah Npc

8:07

resources. All. Of these

8:09

resources belonged to people. So. You're

8:11

not betting on just like a race, Or

8:13

you're betting on your horse. Are you submitting

8:15

your horse? So. It's just

8:17

you know it's you can fuck with that. But.

8:20

Unfortunately I lost him in the move from

8:22

L A Two or how You Loses That

8:24

It's a twelve word pass code written on

8:27

a piece of I Don't Feel regret. Bill

8:29

is out there the an Allied Ages version

8:31

I Don't Out and also exists in the

8:33

Heat Can Blaze More in. The shows were

8:35

usually about of their as A Discipline or

8:38

Where the Volga Robbie I Miss You Can't.

8:41

I have ah you know I have

8:43

a problem gamblers because it affected me

8:45

personally. I had a degenerate fuck and

8:47

cousins that live with us for a

8:49

hot sack. And he we all work

8:52

different times I worked graveyard U P

8:54

s our Dps bottom row primer. One

8:56

joy and he would get home earlier.

8:59

So I also want to college. so he

9:01

was getting mail as at that time when

9:03

you're in college, that's when you start getting

9:05

flooded with the credit card rocket you know,

9:07

enemy Iron com and allow the swine sick

9:09

or saddam and I'm like nope Nope nope

9:11

Nope. Well my brother

9:14

lives there with his to. And.

9:16

My brothers the first victim. He gets the call

9:18

from the credit card company like hey you know

9:20

Euros? Three thousand dollars? is that only one have

9:22

a credit card? Holy shit record a bit so

9:25

much higher from an additional yeah. probably could have

9:27

been but that was where and was a time.

9:29

Guess is. That the able

9:31

to discover. It was

9:33

a disco her car take him to the man. But

9:37

he was like out and it's fucked his

9:39

credit up for so long. then I'm work

9:41

in one night and I get a call

9:43

while I'm on the floor. This dumb motherfucker.

9:46

filled out all the information but put my

9:48

work number on there so they call me

9:50

at work and it's like city bank and

9:52

i was like i know exactly what this

9:54

is i don't have a credit card with

9:57

you've never for i know who did it

9:59

i can give you this and boom. So

10:01

I do and that night I go right to

10:03

the police station and I

10:05

put a warrant out for his arrest because

10:07

he's now stolen my. Yeah. So this guy

10:09

and my brothers and then all of it

10:12

comes out in the wash. My grandmother who

10:14

had just died months before stole her social

10:16

credit cards and her name and my grandfather,

10:18

I don't know how he did this. I

10:20

think my grandmother just, I

10:23

remember her saying out of his fight up

10:25

your entire family's credit out of my grandfather

10:27

died in 1973 and I think my grandmother

10:31

just kept the line of credit under his name. So

10:33

she had to and then

10:35

he ran fucking credit on that

10:37

dude. This dude's had good running

10:40

fraud on fraud. Too

10:43

dead, too alive that we know of. So

10:46

I delayed my whole move here. I was like, fuck

10:48

this guy. I'm gonna take you brought this guy's legs,

10:50

right? But he, I didn't need, I think you're legally

10:52

allowed to. He was such a piece of shit

10:54

that, you know, when you put a warrant out for

10:56

somebody, usually for something like

10:58

this, they have to get pulled.

11:01

They're not going to go get them. You

11:03

got to get pulled over or whatever.

11:05

And within like three days he fucked

11:07

up and boom, they got him

11:09

on that. And then he kept delaying the court

11:12

date and never showed. So I

11:14

had like a public defender who finally said, listen,

11:16

I'll be there. Just fucking go. I was like,

11:18

no, I want to be there. He's like, you

11:20

should just go ahead and move and get all

11:22

into your life. This is real. And, but

11:25

all in, I don't know how much over 20,000 probably

11:27

on all the cards slap on

11:30

the wrist. Nothing. Is it

11:32

washed? Washed? No, but fuck

11:34

my brother's credit up. Fuck mine up for a

11:36

long time. But I fought it. My brother didn't

11:38

fight it. I fought it. Isn't it fraud protection

11:40

though? We're just like, Hey, I didn't have to

11:42

pay anything or anything like that. It's just ruined

11:44

my credit. I couldn't get more credit

11:47

after that. Cause they're like, wait, this whole thing

11:49

went down. Oh, they're like, well you hang out

11:51

with people that could do this to you, which

11:53

is a liability. Yeah. So watch your mail y'all

11:55

watch your mail. Dude, did

11:58

you do any, like, I mean, we could talk off. Mike,

12:00

but you did something to fuck this guy up, right? We'll

12:02

talk. Oh, my. We

12:06

definitely crawl past in Baltimore city. And

12:08

this is like, I'll tell you this

12:10

one story. It's great. So,

12:13

um, we end up getting

12:15

kicked out. My uncle realizes he's got

12:18

this gambling problem and says, fuck it.

12:20

Gives the house to him. Okay.

12:22

Kicks us out. We're homeless.

12:24

That is rightfully half of our

12:27

house. Okay. But whatever.

12:29

My grandmother's sister takes me in and

12:31

this dude lives in the house for a year.

12:34

One, my grandmother had this house since

12:36

world war two forties, whatever.

12:38

Okay. Fucking doesn't

12:41

make one payment, not one in

12:43

a year. And the bank took it just like

12:45

that. Like it wasn't, you know, this big,

12:47

whatever it was like, you guys get out.

12:50

I'm going to help my kid out. And

12:52

then the kid didn't help himself out. And

12:55

then we all ran into each other in a bar in the

12:57

city. And man, you want

12:59

to talk about a white trash family. We're

13:02

yelling at our uncle and he's like,

13:04

he'd tell my brother, I spit on

13:07

your grave. They're like, who is that?

13:10

I guess our uncle and our aunt and our

13:12

cousin, right? They're like, what we're good. And I'm

13:14

calling my other cousins like these motherfuckers are here.

13:16

They're racing across the city to get there. Like

13:18

drive, property, what are we doing? I

13:23

was like, I'm trying to run it. They're trying to

13:25

get out of here. And the bar, everything settles down

13:27

to bartenders. Like who's that? I'm just our family. Like

13:29

that's your family. Like it used to be. Yeah.

13:33

Fuck. Yeah. So fucking the gambling

13:35

is the one of the ones that just gets

13:38

me. Cause it got me. I didn't

13:40

even do anything. You know, I didn't have any

13:42

of the fun. Yeah. We used to have, we

13:44

used to have bookies call the house. They would

13:46

call. I'm not kidding.

13:48

It would, every, it would be like this. Tell them to

13:50

Duke called the Duke. I,

13:53

on my life, my brothers would back me up

13:55

on this, the Duke. That was the doc. And

13:57

then one time they sent dudes to the house.

14:00

They came to the fucking house to the house two

14:02

dudes came and were they just like kind of had

14:04

hands in pockets Who's came to the house and he

14:06

had his wife? Go

14:09

down and answer the door with the baby

14:11

in their inner arms because he thought that

14:13

would soften the blow and I was like

14:15

You know who it was. Yeah, like send

14:17

the kid dude. He would VHS record like

14:19

these coke got late-night coke He used to

14:22

be this guy in Maryland called the stallion.

14:24

He was in Ocean City. He's like dude I'm sweating like I just

14:26

lost 10 I He

14:31

would be coke out of his mind He would give you Games

14:34

horses, whatever and my cousin like this

14:37

all came out later in the wash

14:39

like you're programming the VCR to record

14:41

Fucking these like yep, I don't know. Do you

14:43

remember this shit would be like late night I

14:46

don't even know where you find it But it'd be

14:48

on late night like 2 in the morning or just

14:50

be like these degenerate guys trying to give you lines

14:52

on sports I don't think I ever saw that he

14:55

knew all public access. He was terrible

14:57

It looked like public access. Yeah, I

15:00

mean, you know, what's funny is that like I I've

15:03

always wanted to like get into

15:05

sports because like all my friends

15:07

like love sports and I I

15:10

always just get quiet during like I don't mean like

15:12

basketball or football or baseball and I wish I did

15:14

and Recently, though

15:17

I figured out the way to get me excited about

15:19

sports is to gamble on it And

15:21

so don't get me wrong. I'm losing like I'm

15:24

you got the show. Yo, Tani shit going on

15:26

right now I'm saying I'm investing like $20 in

15:28

a time to have fun I'm

15:32

investing 20 units of fun into all these games

15:34

and like I'm missing all these parlays but like

15:36

the soup this is the most fun Super Bowl

15:39

I've ever had and fucking Pacheco

15:41

could have I Think

15:43

I needed five more rushing yards from him and

15:45

I could have gotten like three grand off the Super

15:47

Bowl instead I lost 400, but you know what? That's

15:50

how she goes She

15:53

go yeah, you're you're oh, yeah fucking

15:55

a Tani like uh, like he his

15:57

interpreter was putting

15:59

That's on games that he was involved in. Listen,

16:03

I don't make showy Oh, tiny money

16:05

that most people don't make anywhere near

16:07

it and I promise you, yeah. If

16:10

you fucking move my money like that, I

16:12

would know about it. It's

16:14

a couple of million. Also

16:18

look, this is the, I'm not

16:20

even going to say arguably he's, he's the

16:22

greatest baseball player ever

16:24

when it's rock and outer space. Okay. Dominant

16:27

pitcher, dominant batter. He's injured with his

16:29

throwing arm right now. So he can't

16:31

pitch for another year, but he can

16:33

still fucking hit. Okay. And I

16:37

just hope like hell that

16:39

he, uh, I mean, I'm selfish. I want

16:41

them to clear up. This is like, like

16:43

we might be, if he bet on baseball,

16:46

we're about to be robbed of the greatest

16:48

player ever play the game we're not even,

16:50

Japan's going to be like, whatever, come on

16:52

back. But we're not going to be able

16:54

to see the greatest player do play because

16:56

of gambling or, or MLB is going to

16:58

be like, you know what? You

17:01

can't have on baseball now. Everybody like that. It's

17:03

it's, it's a sticky situation. I want

17:05

to hear that interpreter as a podcast

17:07

guest. You know, I want to hear that

17:09

dude. And then get you on a honey. Yeah.

17:12

That dude's got a honey for

17:14

sure, dude, man. Fuck.

17:18

Yeah, dude. That's that type of shit makes me

17:20

fucking sweaty where it's like, yeah.

17:23

Yeah. This is a wild story. And

17:25

like, you just place yourself in

17:27

like, like, do you see uncut

17:29

gems? Oh yeah. Like watching that

17:31

is like a nonstop exhilarating, like

17:33

anxiety ride. And it's man,

17:36

like it's like, you have to go like a

17:38

bad episode. Yeah. You're just way more relatable. Cause

17:40

like, yeah, I'm not going to make fucking 50

17:42

tons of crystal meth, but like I could see

17:44

myself, you know, sneaking over

17:47

a bag across like, and getting my face,

17:49

like caved in from some New

17:51

York grifters, like Jesus Christ. Who goes to

17:54

the same shul as me and my kids.

17:58

Of course. That's who you're borrowing. from dude

18:00

I also got I was a victim of

18:02

when I lived when I first moved out

18:04

here in North Hollywood I lived in this

18:06

shady ass neighborhood I lived out it

18:09

was the corner of Fulton and Sherman way and this

18:11

was in the 90 Fulton and

18:13

Sherman way I know that 90 man nice it

18:15

was North Hollywood technically but yes oh right there

18:18

like the Mexico part of North bro yeah like

18:20

I would jog and they would be like you

18:22

know you're the only white guy in the neighborhood

18:24

right they would tell me laugh at me I

18:26

was like eyes you guys tell me that I

18:28

spent a couple summers working in that neighborhood where

18:31

I'm there there's a chalk body on the

18:33

street and the police come to the building

18:35

like hey you got gang activity around like

18:38

but this landlord was a real piece

18:40

of shit and he knew someone at

18:42

the bank hmm and

18:44

again this is how I found out in the end

18:46

but he was washing our checks he would wash them

18:48

he would you know that you could put in the

18:50

solution and clear the check then he

18:53

would write it to himself okay so

18:55

what he would do is like let's say I'm I'm pretending

18:59

I'm the dog I wash your

19:01

check your rent check PS this is my rent

19:03

check I'm turning in I'm paying my rent he's

19:05

washing our checks and then he

19:07

would write a check to himself okay and

19:10

then he would bring a check in and I would say I'm

19:12

you but I know you you're the

19:14

teller so you don't ID me you don't

19:16

whatever and I say hey I wrote this

19:18

check for $2,000 give me a

19:20

thousand of it in cash and just put

19:23

the other thousand in and what you're really

19:25

doing is putting zero in and they're giving

19:27

you a thousand dollars and he was doing

19:29

that for a while until like

19:31

the landlord the company hit me up like why

19:33

aren't you paying your rent I'm like I've paid

19:35

my rent every month since I've been here and

19:37

then that all came out literally in the fucking

19:39

wash yes and take so

19:42

you know what I did man you've been

19:44

fucked over left yeah gambling motherfuckers it's all

19:46

gamblers it's all the degenerate money guys that

19:48

are trying to hustle the twos and fuse

19:50

and they never get ahead but they're always

19:52

still broke they're always always broke but

19:55

here's what's cool about them they could always get

19:58

enough for the next bet yeah but They

20:00

can't stop. They can't stop. You only need one

20:02

to hit. You only need

20:04

one to hit. Somebody that came

20:06

on, it was a gambler back on the crab

20:08

feast days and he said, here's the thing you'll

20:10

never, he was telling us like, you're never going

20:12

to hit it big when you're gamble because you'll

20:14

keep it. He goes, the guys that hit it

20:17

big are me. I'm going

20:19

to go give it right back. You know what I

20:21

mean? Like luck works that way. Like the guy that's

20:23

going to keep putting it in, you're

20:25

not going to hit a hundred grand and walk away. So one

20:28

time I did this, I had a

20:30

friend of mine that you want to go to Vegas. And I was like,

20:32

no, you know what I want to do? And

20:35

it's the dumbest fucking thing, but it made me

20:37

laugh so hard and I just invested in this.

20:39

All right. So a friend

20:41

of mine hits me up and tells me about you

20:44

can invest in currency. I didn't know you

20:46

could buy currency. I had no idea

20:48

you could buy another country's currency. And then if

20:50

that currency goes up or down, you, Oh,

20:54

futures and cash out in that, at

20:56

that number, good or bad, right? So

21:00

he's got this whole thing he tells

21:02

me about the Vietnam dollars called the

21:04

dong. Okay. He's investing in dong. Good.

21:07

So I'm like, all right. He's

21:11

like, Ryan, it's worth nothing. Like

21:13

it's worth nothing. And if it, if

21:16

it just moves a whisper, you're

21:19

going to be like six figures and nothing. So

21:21

I was like, you know what? If

21:24

I buy a ticket to Vegas right now, it's going to cost

21:26

me what? LA few hundred bucks

21:29

hotel, food,

21:31

gambling. I'm just

21:33

going to take $2,500. I'm going to buy

21:35

a few million dollars a dong. So I

21:37

bought a bunch of Vietnamese dong instead of

21:39

going to fucking Vegas. And

21:44

I'm just sitting on some dong. You're

21:46

sitting on some dong. You're sitting

21:49

on some dong. Yeah. And if

21:51

that dong even moves a whisper,

21:54

I'm cashing in like a motherfucker. I got, I

21:56

got, I gave it to my business manager. I'm

21:58

like, y'all, this is my. I want you

22:00

to hold my dong. Got Vietnam to me.

22:02

Hold my dong. Now here's the thing. Do

22:05

I know it's bullshit? But

22:08

also, I would have just gave that

22:10

money to fucking Vegas. But

22:12

what I can do still is even if

22:14

that money never fucking grows or loses, I

22:16

can take it back to a bank and

22:18

go, you know what? Let me just cash

22:20

that out and still get my

22:22

money back. It's just dong on loan unless

22:25

something happens. So instead

22:27

of blowing $2,500 on a weekend

22:29

in Vegas, I blew it on some dong.

22:31

But I'm sitting on that dong hoping that

22:33

dong grows while I sit on it. You

22:37

know what I'm saying? I

22:41

want that dong to get bigger. Let me just

22:43

grow a couple more inches, dongy. The

22:46

honey dong. Ooh, that's a good one.

22:49

25:06

get back to the do. Dude, that reminds

25:08

me. That reminds me. I

25:10

heard this story. My brother told me this story about

25:12

my dad before he passed. So

25:16

like I was getting into like investing in stock and

25:18

stuff, you know, that's what Jay's do. And

25:20

I was like, I was asking my

25:22

brother about like, so I'm like, Hey, so like I

25:24

know about buying straight up stocks and stuff, but like,

25:26

what the fuck are these options and futures like what

25:28

the fuck is that goes, Oh, don't fuck with that.

25:31

Like what wise, like, let me tell you a little

25:33

story about dad. I'm like, okay. And he goes, you

25:36

know, he invested, he thought that, you know, he, you

25:39

know what agricultural futures are. So

25:41

it's pretty much like whatever, let's say the

25:43

price of pork, right? Let's say

25:45

the price of pork right now is you think pretty low.

25:48

You could buy futures of pork now.

25:50

And then when pork goes up, you

25:52

can now sell your futures. And

25:55

you have now made money on agricultural

25:57

futures. Okay. So you buy

25:59

an ag like stock agriculture. stock pretty

26:01

much investing that it goes up. Right.

26:03

Now, here's the key part of investing

26:05

in agricultural stock. You are

26:07

not like stock of a company

26:09

like you're buying a piece of paper that's

26:11

a person of it. You are actually buying

26:14

this agriculture. So say

26:16

for example, like they say a good time to

26:18

invest in pork is when the Magrib is announced

26:20

because that's when pork prices are at their lowest.

26:23

So I think I can't remember

26:25

if my dad purchased pork or salt,

26:27

but he had bought a shit ton of

26:30

agricultural futures of let's just call pork. And

26:33

so you're just like, Oh, yeah, fucking, you know, it was

26:35

like a three month contract or whatever. And at the end

26:37

of this, like I didn't make any money on it. So

26:39

I guess I'll just take the hit on it. And

26:41

then he gets a call from a company saying

26:44

like, Hey, is this address good for all the

26:46

pork? He goes, what? He

26:48

goes, Yeah, you bought like three metric tons of

26:50

pork. He goes, wait, no, I didn't. He goes,

26:52

Yeah, is this the agricultural future that you buy?

26:54

Like, yeah. Well, we're coming

26:56

with a truckload of pork and we're dumping it

26:59

onto your lawn. If you don't have a price

27:01

to receive it goes, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

27:04

And so then he just had a fucking

27:06

offload. Like he just found some person to

27:08

fucking offload this pork to her salt or

27:10

whatever the fuck. But like agricultural futures, that

27:12

is what happens. It's

27:14

you're straight up buying that stuff. And

27:17

like, there's no like representation, like

27:19

a, like a stock of a company or whatever. It's,

27:21

you are buying this stuff. And see, I got my,

27:23

just got my dong and a Ziploc. You

27:28

know, a little hermetically sealed jar. I

27:30

have all my dong collection. I

27:34

bought dong and started going to Vegas. I

27:36

really do. Fuck all this fucking Bitcoin, dude.

27:39

I got a fucking trunk full of dong. One

27:41

of the craziest gambling stories was a comedian named

27:44

Brant Tobler. He came on the craft feast back

27:46

in the day and he was a bookie. He

27:48

was a crooked bookie. Yeah. Right. He's admittedly

27:50

so. And it was the game. It was

27:54

when it was the mile high

27:56

miracle. We call it in Baltimore. It was

27:58

Joe Flacco. in the

28:00

Denver Broncos, Joe Flacco, where

28:03

it's the year we won the Super Bowl. Okay.

28:05

And he took a bet from a guy that

28:09

the Broncos

28:11

were gonna win. And

28:13

so he took I don't know, again, I don't know

28:15

the number, but it was big. He was a bookie

28:17

in Vegas. He was working for as a bookie. And

28:19

he took like 50 grand from this guy. Okay. But

28:21

didn't place the bet. He was

28:23

sure that the Ravens were gonna win.

28:25

So he just kept this dude's Okay.

28:28

And then it comes

28:31

down to this like, we're definitely done. There's

28:33

18 seconds left in the fucking game. That's

28:35

it. And he's like,

28:37

Oh my god, I'm gonna fucking get killed.

28:39

I don't have the money to pay this

28:42

guy and Joe Flacco throws a fucking Hail

28:44

Mary and it lands in Jacoby Joe's arms

28:46

and he runs it in. And

28:48

we tie it we win and

28:51

double overtime. Yeah, he was like,

28:53

I was that guy was gonna kill me. Like I was

28:55

gonna fucking kill Yeah, that's what they do. Yeah.

28:57

All right. Let's switch gears out of gambling and

28:59

get to some of your stories that you actually

29:01

draw here. I want to hear so you grew

29:04

up here, right? Yeah, born raised in LA. So

29:06

tell me about you worked at Vaughn's. Oh, yeah,

29:08

dude, that was that was the bonds of grocery

29:10

store here in law. Yeah, which is funny to

29:12

me because I when I first heard Ralph's. I

29:15

was a big fan of still am Robin

29:17

Harris, the comedian who passed away babies kids

29:20

and he had a whole album back in

29:22

the day and he was doing a bit

29:24

about going and getting some super duper maxi

29:26

pads for his girlfriend at Ralph's and I

29:28

always just thought what a guy

29:30

what I mean what a weird name for

29:33

grocery stores Ralph's. Yeah, you know, and now I'm

29:35

so used to it. But it's like, fuck

29:38

his Ralph's like we had Safeway. Right.

29:40

We had wise we had you know, that's what

29:43

it is like what Kroger whenever you go to

29:45

a different city or just like, oh, this is

29:47

the ecosystem of supermarkets here. Right. All right, like

29:49

and they're all still some weird somehow weirdly affiliated

29:51

like that. We're Kroger but we're Ralph's right on

29:54

the east coast. It's all these but on the

29:56

west coast. It's Trader Joe's like some bullshit like

29:58

that. So

30:00

you're working at Vaughn. Yeah, how old are

30:02

you? So this was I think my first

30:04

summer Back

30:07

from my freshman year of college, so

30:09

I had had a internship

30:11

set up at like NBC and it was

30:13

gonna be like my first internship like in

30:15

the industry and I was like so fucking

30:17

excited and on I

30:20

go to orientation and We

30:23

get through like an hour two hours of

30:25

orientation Everyone there is from an Ivy League

30:27

like school Like I'm seeing dudes that play

30:29

on the Princeton basketball team and it's like

30:31

goddamn. This is fucking cool I thought there's

30:34

some fucking like big people like in this room all

30:38

in terms and And I

30:40

like at the end of orientation We all go take the

30:42

tram ride like and we go through the back lot and

30:44

we like just all sorts of cool shit

30:46

This is the first time I'm getting like any taste of

30:48

Hollywood and at the end of

30:51

the orientation like the two program

30:54

Directors come up to me and like oh

30:56

no doubt by the way We like didn't

30:58

ever like get this document from you like

31:00

31:03

I was completely unaware of any like anything that you guys

31:05

31:07

they're like we don't it's like okay. Well, I'll get

31:09

31:11

late for that. Like what do you mean? Like

31:14

Maybe next year and like wait what

31:17

and like my entire summer of like just

31:19

like oh This is gonna be

31:22

my first summer in the industry just got taken

31:24

away from got super fucking deflated and I go

31:26

home I tell my mom like how was orientation?

31:28

Oh and they give me like this white folder

31:30

that says NBC Universal on it

31:32

like a really white glossy folder with all like

31:34

the shit And she's like

31:36

how to go. I'm like Yeah,

31:38

I don't think I'm getting accepted

31:41

into the program. Apparently they needed some paper that

31:43

I didn't submit and She's

31:46

like well Vons is hiring like

31:51

For a second. I was just like, oh, I guess I'll just

31:53

have a number do another The

31:55

fuck you are So

31:58

my brother had worked at that Vons like

32:00

the summer before or something like that. Like our

32:02

family had been running through this supermarket. And

32:05

I remember like I went in for

32:07

the job interview and

32:10

like I aced it, cause it's a bag

32:12

boy or they called it a courtesy clerk

32:15

for Vons. And I remember, what was

32:18

her name? Fucking Monica. Yeah, Monica was

32:20

interviewing me. And she's like, well,

32:23

needless to say you're overqualified for this job.

32:26

All we have to do now is just take a

32:28

swab from your cheek and then you pass the drug

32:30

test and you're good to go. And

32:32

I was just like, why would you have to do that?

32:34

Well, I would have the drug to be a bag boy.

32:37

It's a bag. To help old ladies out with their cough.

32:39

She's just like, she starts opening up the bag. I'm like,

32:41

oh, we're doing this right now? And like, I

32:44

had just smoked weed like on the

32:46

way to the. Yeah, right before I came in. And

32:49

so she's like, yeah, is that a problem? And like, I think

32:51

of something like just on the spur of them. I'm just like,

32:55

I went to the dentist today. And she's

32:57

like, uh-huh. I'm like, you put fluoride or whatever in

32:59

my mouth. God forbid, like something happens. You guys would

33:01

think I'm on drugs. I don't want you guys to

33:03

think that. She goes, nothing that

33:05

you'd take at the dentist would mess this up.

33:08

I'm like, better safe than sorry. Can

33:10

I take this with me? I see that, yeah.

33:13

She was like, you can't take it, but like

33:15

you could just come back. I don't know, when

33:17

do you want to come back? I'm like, it's

33:19

called a week. Can we get it? Like, I'm

33:21

really busy for the next week. So like, sure,

33:23

it came back, did the swab. Everything was fine.

33:26

I passed it. And I can't

33:28

believe the drug test that you've worked. It's fucking wild,

33:30

dude. And like the people that worked there were the

33:33

biggest fucking degenerates of dudes. I was gonna say, do

33:35

you just have to take one to get in and

33:37

then you're good? Yeah, they don't repost you out. Like,

33:40

I remember, so the way

33:42

that they break you in is, oh

33:45

yeah, so once I passed the drug

33:48

test, they're like, good news, buddy, you're

33:50

on the team. And they give me

33:52

the exact same white folder that NBC

33:54

Universal gave me, but with the Von

33:56

Flug going on, I'm like, I'm

33:59

like already trying to. Hold back tears. I'm like,

34:01

my, how the might be a fallen. Like we just

34:03

flew a little too close to the Sunday. And

34:06

the way that they break you in is

34:09

your first week you're showing up at

34:11

4am to sweep the floors, like

34:13

restock, anything that needs to happen. And like,

34:15

you know, putting a plastic bags on all

34:18

the cash registers. And like I'm

34:20

there on my first day and a model goes

34:22

like, all right, well here's what you need to

34:24

do. Here's a bucket and a mop. Um, and

34:26

you know, just start cleaning up all the aisles

34:29

and like I'm cleaning up the aisles and like

34:31

all this. And I don't know why this triggered

34:33

me, but you remember that

34:35

song? Hey there Delilah. Yeah. How's

34:39

it there in New York city? I'm just

34:41

like, the

34:44

walls are changing. Everything just fucking

34:47

broke. I should be seeing dolls right

34:49

now. I literally

34:51

go to the bathroom and fucking cry my eyes

34:53

out. Yeah. Fucking

34:55

day one. This is day one of being

34:57

broken in five more days of 4am shifts

35:02

that are going to start like this.

35:06

And I'm just fucking devastated. I'm just like,

35:08

and we're just like, yo, what's up dude?

35:10

You get high. And I'm like, no, I

35:12

just cried a lot. I'm

35:15

just crying. And so then I just

35:17

start meeting all these other degenerates that are on like

35:19

the job. There's this one dude, I

35:22

think his name was like John or something, but

35:24

like I look at it like, and he's like

35:26

clearly a degenerate. And I'm like, Hey man,

35:28

how long have you been working here for? He was like, like

35:31

three years trying to get fired. And

35:33

I'm like, trying. You're failing at it.

35:35

You're failing at getting fired. He's like,

35:37

well, yeah. Like, dude,

35:39

why don't you just like go smoke weed and don't

35:41

put drops in and they'll, they'll fucking figure it out.

35:43

I guess I did that. I did that. I'm like

35:46

what they do. He goes, they docked my pay. That's

35:49

all he did. I'm like, okay. It's like, well,

35:51

like aren't there more things he could do? He

35:53

goes, well yeah, then I was just like, Oh,

35:55

well the problem is that I'm smoking outside

35:58

of the store. I

36:00

just started smoking inside the bathroom that's

36:03

inside the supermarket and I'm like

36:05

they didn't catch you things like well No, I had

36:07

to have too many friends here and they smelt

36:09

it before management did so they just started spraying

36:11

axe body spray all Over the door giving me

36:13

visine and stuff and then you know that didn't

36:15

like they just docked my pay again Like

36:18

what is like then I did shrooms like

36:21

yeah, just Dude

36:24

are you paying to work here? Fucking

36:27

leave But I remember

36:29

I'd pull all sorts of shit cuz I was just like,

36:31

you know what? This is a

36:33

good motivation I'm never like I'm never going to

36:35

work at Vons again knock on wood

36:38

There's still a chance I still got like Might

36:42

be 70 bag but

36:45

I Remember

36:47

I was just like, you know what this is

36:50

and I remember I'd made a pact there cuz I was like I

36:54

Started smoking weed on my lunch breaks. I was like

36:56

look this is not a good

36:58

like pattern to start So I made myself

37:00

a rule. I'm like, I'm only gonna go

37:02

I'm only gonna smoke at jobs that

37:04

I don't respect And

37:11

bond supermarkets at the top of that later than

37:13

this job I'm going to cut

37:15

every corner cuz like that's not who I

37:17

am I'm a very hard worker like when

37:19

I care about the shit, but I don't

37:21

care about fucking Vons's bottom line I don't

37:24

pull so much shit cuz I knew

37:26

what I was legally allowed to do and what

37:28

I wasn't if they caught me On shit. I'm like

37:30

they're gonna dock my pay worst-case scenario. I'm here for

37:33

I'm here for a short time I'm here for the

37:35

summer like I can't I don't

37:37

care what they do So I remember

37:39

it was summer and everyone gets cart duty and

37:41

like when you get cart duty You're just getting

37:43

carts from the parking lot. It's summer You're doing

37:45

at least a one-hour window at a time And

37:48

I was like you can't you

37:50

can't take a break from that because you have to like

37:52

go back to the punch card system Every 15

37:54

minutes to be like you're still out there doing

37:57

stuff Oh, cuz if you're out of the building

37:59

you did it want to make sure you're just knowing

38:01

like just a record of just like yeah you came

38:05

back in every 15 minutes to do shit and

38:07

so what I would do is whenever I

38:09

did cart duty I would then just go

38:11

disappear into the walk-in freezer until they called

38:14

my name on the intercom okay

38:16

because what I found like first off it felt great

38:18

in there but also I found I found

38:20

this grease barrel in there and they

38:22

also had a whole bunch of like you know those

38:25

dibs ice cream like bon bon stuff yeah so

38:27

I was in college I was like now's a good time

38:29

I kind of practice my beer pong skills so

38:32

I would stand on one end of the walk-in freezer

38:34

I'd take the lid off I think the

38:36

lid off with the grease bro and grit I had no idea

38:38

what the intention of this grease barrel was I don't know if

38:41

it was going back into like into

38:50

just beer ponging dibs into this

38:52

44:04

let's get back to the do tell me about.

44:06

Oh, that kind of leads into this this

44:10

this key story. So

44:13

when I was on a way actually that

44:15

was way before. Okay,

44:18

so when I was in 10th grade, I

44:21

got caught king a car. So

44:25

out of character for me. Did

44:28

you know the person was this a random thing?

44:30

Yeah, so here's the whole story. So like I

44:32

had not this was 10th grade. I had not

44:35

even started smoking weed yet. Like I was still

44:37

in the drugs are bad like camp and

44:40

I was hanging out. I don't want to

44:42

use this real name. Bull

44:45

column will calm. Chomp

44:48

John Pooch will calm John Pooch on

44:51

pooch. And

44:53

so everyone

44:55

in my school, everyone

44:58

in my school had a story of, Hey, I used

45:00

to be best friends with John Pooch. And

45:02

then we did this thing together and then our parents don't

45:04

let us hang out together anymore. So this

45:06

is my story of not being allowed to hang out

45:09

with John Pooch anymore. So hanging

45:11

out with John and like he's just a

45:14

terrible influence. Like I'm in 10th grade. Literally

45:16

I come out and hang out with him. I'm like, Hey, John, like what are

45:18

we doing? He's like, well, my dad should be passing

45:20

out. He passes out right when the daily

45:23

show comes on at seven. And so when he

45:25

passes out, he doesn't wake up again until like 1am. And

45:27

then he moves to the door or he moves to

45:30

his bed. I'm like, okay. He goes, yes, we're going

45:32

to take his car. I'm like, what? So

45:34

he's just like, yeah, you know, at like seven, my dad

45:36

passes out and then we just kind of take his car

45:38

and do for you is George Wilk. And

45:40

that's his real name for

45:43

us. So

45:47

I would hang out with John Pooch. I'd say like, I

45:49

don't know, a couple times a month, I'd just go over

45:51

like, Hey, mom, drop me off at

45:53

John's. Like, we're going to have a sleepover. And

45:55

like that sleepover was just like, Oh yeah, he's

45:57

going to like have me smoke weed for the first time.

46:00

We're gonna do or gonna drink and shit like

46:02

all sorts of just wild shit Like we have

46:05

friends over and just have like we play the

46:07

pass-out game like all sorts of just shit that

46:09

46:11

so I remember like God

46:14

46:18

46:20

for me to do that Like doing

a marathon like I think they're doing a by the

54:07

time this comes up They would have already done the

54:09

when they announced it to when they're doing it More

54:14

time than I had to train for a

54:16

full fucking marathon but

54:20

Yeah, what had happened was so I decided to leave

why mission cuz you know I'd been there for seven

54:24

years and you know I built

54:26

that machine and I just want to

54:28

54:31

a machine out of helping other people

54:33

with Their he didn't build a machine you

54:35

guys built the fucking goddamn rock Went

54:38

into another stratosphere. Yeah, and what I

54:40

and thank you and and what I

54:43

felt was that like, you know Over

54:46

there. I was more just maintaining it and not doing

54:48

the building that I enjoyed in the beginning So like

54:50

I want to get back in that building phase I

54:52

haven't used that part of my brain in forever and

54:55

I miss using it so

54:57

I had left, you know, I just

54:59

decided to leave and Then

55:03

like I was still doing all of my

55:05

routines. I was working out regularly. I was

55:07

going on like I was Walking

55:10

slash jogging a lot of training for it

55:12

initially. Weren't you? Oh, yeah Well, yeah what

55:14

had happened originally? I mean we had gone

55:16

through a couple weight loss competitions The first

55:19

one was just it

55:22

was funny It was set up and then just kind

55:24

of like forgot about and like I'm

55:26

training like a couple times a week with

55:28

Trainers over it on it and

55:30

like I remember like there was an episode

55:32

of two bears where you know,

55:35

Tom was like Oh, yeah, so in a da

55:37

Vira like how's the working out going and Burt's

55:39

like you're working out I'm like, what

55:41

do you mean? What do you mean? Am

55:43

I working out? I'm working out because of the thing that

55:45

we said like on this show and then

55:48

like that really fucking like took I was like Wait,

55:50

did they even fucking remember this is this happened and like

55:52

while I was lifting weight for that My

55:55

belly button had gone from an any to an

55:57

Audi and like I thought that was

55:59

just like Is this a

56:01

fat thing or a muscle thing? Like what is pushing

56:03

my belly button? Was it painful? No, it

56:05

was never painful It just popped all of

56:07

a sudden turned into an a soft outie.

56:10

And so I gotta be honest. I

56:12

got an any two Yeah, I wouldn't mind an

56:14

Audi for a second. Just sock a cute tip

56:16

and get in there good. Did you clean it?

56:18

Oh dude, I would he doesn't do

56:20

that. I would he creates more crevice. Oh, no It's

56:23

still like a sewn weird. I like be

56:26

No, it's deeper crevices that you can't like

56:29

you like your Audi is out but like

56:31

you're still makes getting in between there, but I

56:34

Remember I went to to the

56:36

doctor immediately. I'm like, yeah, it wasn't mean when I fuck

56:38

it when you're in He turns into an Audi she like

56:41

you working out a lot. I'm like, yeah,

56:43

like yeah, that's what's happening. Like everyone's abdominal

56:45

wall more or

56:47

less like has defections near the The

56:50

belly button Because that's what the umbilical

56:53

cord was and it's the most common type of hernia And

56:55

it's the least like one of the least threatening

56:57

ones. She's like does it

56:59

hurt right now? Like no, has it ever

57:01

hurt? No. All right. Well, this isn't an

57:03

immediate emergency if and when it starts

57:05

hurting That's when you need to take care of it.

57:08

It's like, okay Literally like didn't

57:10

think about it for a year. I was just like man.

57:12

It's like anytime I caught myself in the mirror like oh,

57:14

yeah, I have an Audi and

57:19

Then I Started

57:22

Well, I started like the training for the marathon and

57:24

like I'd left but I'd still wanted to do the

57:27

marathon So I'm still doing everything.

57:29

I'm lifting weights and all that and one

57:32

day my girlfriend's coming

57:34

over and Like she

57:36

starts she starts cooking like right when she comes

57:38

over like I'm like, man, I

57:41

can't fucking tell me She's

57:43

like, yeah, I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna lie down

57:45

for a bit lie down for

57:47

like two hours. It's just getting worse It's hurting

57:49

more and more and like this is this is

57:51

on a Thursday night And like this is also

57:53

I think you'll understand this This

57:57

is like the first month that I'm releasing

57:59

episodes my new show, which comes

58:01

out on Fridays at 11am central

58:03

standard time on Bering the Dop

58:05

Show YouTube channel. And

58:08

this is like the fifth or sixth, like something

58:10

like that. It's like very early into me releasing

58:13

these episodes. And like the

58:16

stomachache is not going away. She's like,

58:18

and when I work, like it's gonna be surprising

58:20

here. I forget to eat sometimes because you're just

58:22

so locked in that like, you know, five o'clock

58:24

runs around, comes around and you're like, oh shit,

58:27

I don't even think I really ate today. I

58:30

had some coffee in the morning, but like nothing else really.

58:32

So I was like, you know, maybe this is just like

58:34

a hunger pain or something. So we eat

58:36

dinner. Pain does not get

58:38

better. It starts getting a little worse. I'm

58:42

like, this is kind of, I kind of don't like

58:44

this at all. And like at this point, all I

58:46

have left on my episode to release the next day

58:48

is I have to make a thumbnail and

58:50

I have to write a description. And I think I have to

58:52

just upload and route it to different places. And

58:55

so I'm like, you know what? My

58:57

stomach's been hurting so much for the last three hours. Let

58:59

me just feel around and see if I could touch something.

59:02

And then like my finger goes over my Audi

59:04

belly button and it's rock hard. I'm like, oh,

59:07

that's, that's it. That's,

59:09

I found the culprit. And

59:11

I'm like, oh, I think this might be a hernia. And

59:14

like, I tell my girlfriend, I'm like, yeah,

59:17

I think this is a hernia. And then she looks at

59:19

me and she's like, she'd

59:21

been telling me that we need to go to the ER for like the

59:23

last hour. Yeah. And

59:26

then it's just, and then I realized it, oh, I

59:28

think this is a hernia. And like, this is like

59:30

the pain that my doctor was talking about that is

59:32

constitutes an emergency. And

59:35

so my girl's like, all right, well, you ready

59:37

to go to the ER? And

59:39

I'm like, if

59:42

we go to the ER, I'm not sure

59:44

when we're coming back. I have an episode dropping

59:46

at 11 a.m. Central Standard Time on

59:49

Friday. And

59:52

I was like, look, babe,

59:55

I totally agree. I need to go to the ER. Give

59:59

me like 45. And

1:00:01

she's just like you work through that dude.

1:00:03

She got so fucking mad. She's like you're

1:00:05

a dumb piece She's like I know I

1:00:07

am But we don't miss

1:00:09

uploads. We don't miss uploads You

1:00:14

just don't do it and And

1:00:17

I went and I like I worked it fucking suck Deep

1:00:24

in your stomach deep in your stomach it

1:00:26

fucking hurts so bad Yeah, and like then

1:00:28

I just start like

1:00:31

30 minute like while I'm

1:00:33

doing all this stuff She's looking

1:00:35

up like er's and urgent cares and stuff and she

1:00:37

found one that was like really well reviewed It's like

1:00:39

oh, I found one like while you were working. I'm

1:00:41

like, oh, that's great that you had time to find

1:00:43

one I if you didn't have time

1:00:45

to like I just start like manipulating all these like good

1:00:48

thing You had all this time to research a good spot,

1:00:50

right? And so we

1:00:52

get to the ER and this is now

1:00:54

kind of like we're I'm playfully joking around

1:00:56

in it But that's also what I do

1:00:58

when I'm scared is like I just try

1:01:00

and make everything funny cuz if I'm

1:01:03

scared That's a shitty feeling. But if

1:01:05

I'm not scared Then

1:01:07

I'm laughing and if I'm laughing it's hard to

1:01:09

cry and freak out You know as

1:01:11

long as hey there Delilah doesn't play on Really

1:01:14

like one of my that's one of my triggers

1:01:18

and so and

1:01:20

so we get to We get

1:01:22

to the urgent care and I'm

1:01:24

just fucking like I like I'm Starting

1:01:27

to get delirious because as we're driving over

1:01:29

there It's getting exponentially more painful like on

1:01:31

the ride over there. And so

1:01:33

she's getting parking I'm walking in and like

1:01:36

it's I don't know like 9 or

1:01:38

10 at night and we're the only

1:01:40

ones in there and like the Nurse

1:01:43

at the front. It's just like hey, can I help

1:01:45

you? Like yeah, I have a tummy ache Just

1:01:48

like what like my belly button. They used to

1:01:50

be an any it's an Audi now It's hard and

1:01:52

she's like what the fuck are you say? I

1:01:54

like then my girlfriend comes in she's like let me

1:01:56

write out this fucking like paperwork for you and

1:01:58

we get in there And while

1:02:02

they're like getting all this information, like asking

1:02:04

why all this happened, I

1:02:08

think it would be cute to

1:02:11

make them, cause like the entire time my

1:02:13

girlfriend was just like, I

1:02:15

cannot believe that you're waiting all this time.

1:02:17

Like you need to go to the ER

1:02:19

and like 30 minutes isn't gonna do anything.

1:02:21

Like it's like, I'm probably, I'm sure it's

1:02:23

fine. And so while we're there, like

1:02:26

they're done taking all the info from me, I'm done taking

1:02:28

all the info from them. I'm

1:02:31

like, yeah. Let's say

1:02:33

I came in 45 minutes before I

1:02:35

did. Would I

1:02:38

be in a better situation? I'm like, no. I'm

1:02:40

like, you hear that? She

1:02:44

did not like that. There's

1:02:51

always time to write a description. And

1:02:55

yeah, they were very upset. She was very upset,

1:02:57

but she was like, just so you know, this

1:02:59

is gonna be the last time that we'll wait,

1:03:01

go into the emergency room. I was like, that's

1:03:04

fair. And now your health is

1:03:06

good. Yeah, now I'm back. So what

1:03:08

had happened was that they didn't know if

1:03:10

they were gonna have to do surgery that night. So

1:03:13

they're like pushing around. They're like, look, if we

1:03:15

can't get, cause like what happens with an umbilical

1:03:17

hernia, your intestines are literally coming out of your

1:03:19

belly button. And they manipulate it

1:03:21

back in without surgery sometimes. So that's a hole

1:03:23

and then they do the mesh thing, right? That's

1:03:25

what they were hoping to do. They're like, look,

1:03:28

we're just gonna investigate. I'm

1:03:30

like, yo, are you about to push my shit back

1:03:32

in? I'm like, no, we wouldn't do that without Tony.

1:03:34

I'm like, okay. And so then they're just

1:03:36

like starting to go out there getting closer and closer. I'm like, it

1:03:38

feels like they're trying to push my shit back in. They're

1:03:41

like, look, we're not trying to push it in.

1:03:43

We're just investigating. I'm like, okay. So

1:03:46

they're investigating. And all of a sudden they investigated

1:03:48

my shit back into my belly button. And it

1:03:50

just, all of a sudden I felt a pop.

1:03:53

I'm like, yo, what just happened? Like

1:03:55

I had no idea what had happened. I was like, yo, was

1:03:57

that a good pop or a bad pop? I'm like, oh, you

1:03:59

felt that? Yeah, I felt that and they're

1:04:01

like does it hurt like Actually,

1:04:05

no, it doesn't like yeah, we just

1:04:07

put your shit back in I like cool but

1:04:09

1:04:12
