What's up, bro?
We got Mr. D, Joe Dombrowski on.
Former teacher, now full-time comedian, touring at Helium Comedy Club in Indy this weekend.
I'm fortunate enough to open up on his tour.
How's it going?
How do you like Indy?
Let's talk.
Okay, Indy is surprising me, left and right surprising it is surprising me it is a lot of what i expected meets what i didn't expect what
didn't okay break it down so let's start with what i expected i fully expected the uber experience
that i just had someone lit up a sick fucking stogosity in his mouth.
Is this my third grade carpool or an Uber?
Straight up.
He just fucking lights a cigarette,
has it hanging out the window the whole time like that's going to help,
and is driving like a goddamn maniac.
I thought I was going to die.
Dude, I'm not kidding.
I thought I was going to die.
Then he went to make a turn.
He goes, nope, that's one way. He can't i can't turn on a one way again
okay not from here and he said that i'm like no no no no and then he's just weaving like a crazy dude
so i was like you know what excuse me let me out here yeah sure did i was like let me out
of here earl at least he didn't ask him the famous question
how long you been doing this oh my oh he had just started he told me oh and then trust me not long
he asked me he asked me which which way am i going which way am i going i'm like you have a
eating room out dude i could i'm okay things i didn't expect yeah great food yeah yeah i've had some great food when
i was here you had some tie just a minute ago to just wreck my colon before the show tonight
i am notorious for that and then uh ate at blue beard who knew listeners if you're ever in indie
are they from all over the place yeah majority probably indie but all over the place in the indie folk must get to bluebeard it is chef's kiss what'd you get there
again a hanger steak oh yeah sliced with some lemongrass if you're nasty yeah so you just had
steak and thai food already and washed it down with an old-fashioned, ready to party.
I am a massive express.
But I do love coming to the Midwest because it's a drinking town.
Oh, yeah.
Which I'm like, let's do it.
And then I got to go home and get back on my reg.
At least you get to ball out for a little bit in Indy.
A little bit.
I was really hoping you'd be on one of those pickle bars that we talked about earlier.
Dude, here's a thing i feel like
you should like work on one of those pedal bars like as a guest host or something and people
should pay you lots of money to dj those things did we just come up with a video concept oh shit
like um it's like uh kind of like punked. Punk, kind of.
Like the taxi game where you get in.
Cash cab.
Cash cab, only it's you.
Except the show's called Pickled.
Come on.
That was good.
Pickled.
You're in a pickle.
But here's the thing, though.
Okay, you guys, listen.
Earlier today, Ben was like...
Because I have friends in town. They took me out to lunch and a drink. And he's like, you guys going to today Ben was like you because I have friends in town they took me
out to lunch and a drink and he's like you guys gonna go in a pickle bar I'm like what the fuck
are you talking it was like the worst thing to call it that's like but that's what you call it
here yeah or it's like I don't know bar bike bar peddler no it's it's a it's a pickle bar it's essentially like uh the flintstones version
of a car with a keg in the back can you please talk about that tonight on stage 100 well they

flintstones thing done done done done yeah so uh that's an invention waiting to happen that's you know we don't have

It's Wednesday. I'm not shitting.
I want to roll up to the show tonight in a freaking car.
I'm not shitting you.
You think I'm playing?
Who do you think you are fucking with?
I will do it.
Just me. No date. Just just be like what up bitch yeah stand up in the back dude i'm thinking about it but here okay do they only go in a
certain area or is it like an uber i can be like you take me here i need to go to caramel let's get
out of here can i tell you something fucked up?
What's up?
Yeah. My friends last night were telling me that like.
This is a say anything.
It is?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
This isn't going out to the world.
This is just a selective group.
So my friends were telling me last night that they did a horse.
Do you know what Mackinac Island is by chance?
I've heard of that a million times.
It's a little island in.
Michigan.
Northern Michigan.
Yeah.
And there's no cars allowed.
It's only horse and carriage only.
So I think except for their ambulance.
Hopefully.
No.
Hopefully.
We got to stick to the bit.
They had a horse name.
They kept telling me about what they rent.
They got a driver, and his name was like Miguel or something.
So the whole time I thought that was like their taxi driver.
It was the fucking
horse's name. They rented
a horse for the entire week to like
be their horse. I thought they had a driver named
Miguel. So the whole time they were talking about it
he was like yeah he was kind of slow.
He shit himself on the
ride. What a crazy driver.
Isn't that wild? He started smoking a cigarette on the way
there just right there miguel okay so i got off stage thursday night and you're you're like hey
my dad is the same way same way as yours because i tell a joke about my dad being like real strict dude what uh what was like the
worst yeah that chair sucks man just stand up I'm gonna bring this bad boy over sorry I'm making
your editing a nightmare oh trust me it's we're just going straight up with it okay cool what was
like the worst punishment you had as a child uh besides being locked under the stairs
by myself with eight days and no food kidding kidding that was my apartment in new york
the worst punishment okay did you when did you start to like dabble with artsy stuff
what do you mean? Like stage stuff.
Were you young when you got into it?
Not really.
I started doing stand-up five years ago.
That wasn't much stage crap I've done.
Really?
Talent shows here and there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Seventh grade.
Yeah.
I used to do the talent shows.
I was a stand-up comedian in my third grade talent show as a third grader.
Meant to be.
And then I loved it. So my my parents were gonna put me in this
like acting camp for the summer i don't remember what i did but i got grounded in the i got
grounded in like the winter remember what you did don't even remember don't even remember got i got
grounded in the winter and the punishment was no acting camp this summer. And they stuck to that shit.
I was like, they're going to forget.
They stuck to it.
And I got no acting camp ever.
That could have changed it all.
I could have been on a fucking movie.
I could have been a little kid in the sixth sense.
But you learned your way.
Yeah, for sure.
I blazed my own trail, one would say.
No acting camp, dude.
What about you?
My worst punishment?
This is what my punishment was every time I got in trouble.
If I didn't do the dumbest little thing,
if I didn't look both ways before crossing the street
and my dad saw me,
he would make me write it down like 1,000 times.
No way.
Yeah, that was our thing.
Nobody else had that punishment.
No, I feel like your dad was a teacher.
No, that is, there we go.
No, he's a football coach.
No shit.
So my ass was getting screamed at all day.
Yeah.
I don't put the fucking spoon away right.
Get them chopping.
No way.
Okay, you were probably like me though.
Like, I feel like if my dad didn't yell
at me i probably would not be alive because i would just like fuck with the wrong thing oh
like stick my thumb in an outlet yeah for sure for sure for sure i would have ran in the street
after like a baby duck and got hit like we weren't allowed to cut the grass we would have
dude i literally wasn't because my dad at one time i went to cut the grass we would have dude i literally wasn't because my
dad at one time i went to cut the grass with no shoes on i thought that was fine that happened

Oh, shit.
When my dad had time, he was crisscross applesauce all day.
I want this thing to look like Tiger Stadium.

My dad was the same way.
So I would go, and I'd just kind of like fuck around and do it the way I thought,
like make turns where you make yeah like
he would flip his shit if i took that thing like so if i finished and i'm in the corner
yeah i would take the fastest way back to the garage which was across the backyard and then

I'm glad I did.
Still can't do Australian, but.
You got everything else on lock.
A lot of things.
I'm not going to make you do them.
I got grounded for not accents, but I would just make animal noises in the house.
Oh, hell yeah.
Dude, I got a good one.
I would be like, shut the fuck up. Can you give me your best whatever animal? Oh the house. Oh, hell yeah. Dude, I got a good one. My mom would be like, shut the fuck up.
Can you give me your best whatever animal?
Oh, shit.
Do you want to go first?
I think you should go first.
Maybe you should just take the floor.
I have two.
Good.
They're really good.
This is my turkey.
Is that not...
That's... People might think that was a soundboard it was that was a human throat that
was my that was my esophagus um i worked at a zoo for a while too it was one of my part-time jobs
and i oh yeah mastered a peacock you probably don't know what a peacock sounds like let's find out they sound
like this now you remember see that kind of triggered i think i'm very good at making a uh
an eagle noise not a screaming eagle but it's similar to that
yeah yeah i literally just pictured that eagle. Screaming down the tree.
About to grab a goat off a cliff.
I watched a video about that.
Me too.
So there's a type of eagle out there that can just swoop down and clamp goats and just fly off.
Drop off a cliff.
No stutter in the wings, nothing.
They just glide with a goat.
But did you see what happened?
No. the wings nothing they just glide with a goat but did you see what happened no they drop it because they can't they can't sustain the flight so they just fly a little bit off the mountain
with it and then drop it to its death okay i think my add kicked in and i was like wow that's crazy
closed the video i just thought they flew to a different city with it like oh there's an eagle
carrying a goat jesus christ all right like i just thought they went to a different city with it like oh there's an eagle carrying a goat jesus
christ all right like i just thought they went like miles i got i got so bored i probably closed
the video no then they go down and then they eat the dead goat you fuck damn ben oh man i thought
these things were so much more talented okay you used to be a teacher yeah you
teach kindergarten did you ever you didn't dabble in first second third I've taught everything from
kindergarten to sixth grade with the exception of first and second. No, I taught. In sixth grade. Yeah. Oh, and that's when. My first job ever was sixth grade.
I graduated early to pick up a job in sixth grade.
Oh, baby.
Crazy, right?
What kind of school?
Was it a good school?
That one was, yeah, like an upper middle class suburb of Detroit.
It was good.
What's the teacher's lounge life really like is it all drama yes is it really yes it is like the most backstabby shit talking
thing you've ever been in like to the point where you walk in and it goes quiet and it's like
y'all bitches were talking about me yeah goodbye turn around yep it's bad um what's the thing you hate the most about teaching kindergarten
the parents or when you talk kindergarten the parents 100 percent like is that a nightmare
yeah they'll say parent teacher conference they're just they've i feel bad for them too though but
because they've never had a kid in school so they're also learning like what the
boundaries are with a teacher so you are the first guinea pig right like I had a
parent write to me they're like I think you do too much screen time in the
classroom so they brought a homemade chart that they made and they wanted me
to mark a chart tally system to document every
time their kid was exposed to screen time in the classroom like if you think i have fucking time
for this when i have 20 of your kid in my class you're out of your goddamn mind
to control like how many recesses do kindergartners get a day two and is that the best part of it like
what's the best what's like the part of being a kindergarten teacher when you can just finally
what's your break lunchtime but aren't you still kind of like sort of especially during covid
because they have to eat in the classroom so i would turn on anything this
is why the parents are freaking out too they thought it was too much screen time well okay
kids are like little fucking zombies for anything that you put on a tv so i would just put on youtube
videos of like an aquarium and they'll just they just like zonk out zonk out and like eat their
lunch like looking at the same little but it was great because it wouldn't do anything yeah just
be like oh my god yeah and that's the time that you get to teacher life yeah teacher life is nuts
what about when you were in high school how like when'd you know you want to be a teacher college
so you went to college because you wanted to you're like i think i want to do this or you
had no clue you are gonna die what the hell did you want to do i originally went to college to
be a herpetologist you know what that is no it is a reptile science like a fake it does it does
it's a reptile scientist and i wanted my career to be i want i can't believe this is real
i wanted to be a snake wrangler and i was gonna go out into the desert and wrangle snakes and
extract their venom so that do that little thing where you squeeze like the weird part of their
face into a like little balloon covered oh yeah what the fuck is that hey i don't know but it looks snake wranglers
update your cups still using balloons on top wanted to do that and then give the venom to
the doctors to make anti-venom that's what i wanted my job to be that's why i originally went
to college okay but then i realized so you're into frightening jobs yeah snake wrangling and stand up but then the back
of your mind the whole time you were like in high school and college thinking about this you really
wanted to do stand up because that's what you did for your talent show in like third grade or was
it like maybe one day so my parents they were all about it right but they were always telling me
you can do this but like you're not i'm not paying for you to go to college for this so no
you're not majoring in theater or anything like that you're you have to pick a career for real
because you can if you want to you will just be able to do that and i was like you don't
fucking love me so yeah i did it all right i'm gonna squeeze snakes faces yeah but then i
realized that there's not a lot of poisonous snakes in michigan so i should probably uh
i should probably change career path i got a garden snake yeah what do i do anyone allergic
to this oh yeah that's a dope job though though. I know. I know.
It would be cool.
It would be cool.
Cool you worked at a zoo.
Yep, I worked at a zoo.
But I figured out I wanted to be a teacher because I was a summer camp counselor at a summer camp for kids with terminal illnesses.
And I had this one kid who was in a wheelchair, and I had to take all the kids on a um high ropes course in the trees tricky and
they made the high ropes course accessible for kids who are in wheelchairs too and this kid
didn't know that so when we got down there i'm like you could still do it he's like no i can't
like i i cannot i cannot do this and i like i was like yes you fucking can and he like really didn't want to do it and i was like
this kid is gonna miss out on so much fun because he believes that he is incapable of doing it so i
like wheeled his little ass over to the corner and just like reasoned with them i'm like look at all
your buds right now they're having the time of their life we made this thing so that people who are in the situation like you can do it and you only have that opportunity right now because
if you go to any other summer camp in the country you're not going to be able to do it so you either
got it now or you don't and he did it and he was like his little face with so much just like uninhibited joy when he was up there just having
the time of his life i i was literally like teacher you have to like this is so cool career
and i love i'm super cynical of it on stage because it needs to be changed but i did love it
it needs to be changed what do you mean mean? Oh, it's fucking corrupt. The whole,
the teaching system.
Yeah.
It's like,
so corrupt.
Flare pens.
Flare pens for sure.
But like,
if you think about it too,
like we,
I could go into like deep,
deep on this too.
Maybe for a little.
Just for a second.
The disparate,
the,
the way that money is distributed to public schools.
Yeah. That's why every time I had a teacher, they'd be like, I don't have to be teaching you guys.
Yeah.
At a Catholic school, we don't make shit.
Right.
Don't act like a bitch around me.
That's pretty much what I got told every single day.
Yes.
In class.
Yes.
But why wouldn't they just teach at a public school?
It doesn't matter where.
It's like private Catholic schools are the worst.
Private schools pay even less, surprisingly, but public schools still really bad yeah but the the funding to keep this like the
government funding for the schools um you could have like a really well-to-do school right next
to a school that's like underperforming even below that because of the way that funding works
it's super technical but it's crazy.
It's weird.
You would be a dope teacher is all I'm saying.
Mr. DJ at lunch?
Yeah, lunchtime DJ, man.
That's the best idea I've ever heard of to keep kids quiet.
What?
Y'all can listen to that on my podcast.
Ben's on it on Monday.
When's this go out?
This is going to go out Sunday night.
You can listen to us tomorrow. depends on it on monday when's this go out this is gonna go out sunday night social studies was the name of it was the name of your podcast look that up also instagram name
mr d times three and on all other platforms tiktok yeah you already know did you start tick tock in the pandy or before
i did a little bit before and i was just posting everything because i had zero followers so i was
just like whatever and a couple things just erupted what okay you know those carvana big tall
you know what those are no okay there's like a big like tall building and it has like
15 floors it's all glass and there's four cars on each floor okay and the thing is like you don't
have to go to a dealership and fuck with the salesman and all this stuff you just go to carvana
and you literally pick out your car that's a thing thing? That's a thing. And then you just pay for it.
Yeah, well, I mean,
you work something out with them
and then it's just like
they take out the middle thing
and I don't know.
It's for rich people.
It is.
Oh, so it's more expensive.
I don't know.
I haven't like looked into it that much,
but I was driving by
and I was like,
that's like a vending machine for cars.
100%.
So I set up my camera
so I had the whole building in it
and my little ass compared to the whole entire building
walked up to it and I was like, my Lexus got stuck
and I started kicking the building like it was a vending machine.
That's hilarious.
I was like, what the hell?
But it wasn't though.
It got like 18 shares on Instagram and I was like,
okay, half of those people were my family and then I
I put on TikTok just to see what was going on and I guess like some I don't know where another
country was like so fascinated by it I don't even know if they heard what I said it just blew up and
it got like seven mil and I was like first video okay let's do it so I just kept going and people
just caught on eventually was that the first time so was your instagram already
kind of doing it and you have a lot on twitter too no it was tick tock first and then instagram's
tough for me i feel like i'm the closest with my instagram following just because it seems like you
can message people on instagram it's like a closer platform tick tock like messages who does that yeah
nobody nobody even when people send
me videos on TikTok I'm like yeah same same don't do this text me and then uh Twitter my friend Joey
who works for Barstool Sports we do a lot of things together and he shares my stuff I share
his and that's how that happened but it was really tick tock and then maybe people from there followed me to Instagram but that's kind of where what jumped off my tick tock was just kicking
a building that's crazy how did you blow up online so hard online period or yeah
on tick tock okay so um I was okay let's go back to stand-up I'm doing stand-up at the time and my stuff I was like it
was working but then I started taking whatever happened that day in the classroom and writing
about it and then doing it on stage for my set and like I was realizing this is really picking up
the audiences are really liking this teacher-kid stuff.
Oh, yeah.
So then I started, I was like, well, you can make videos about this.
So I made a couple videos, some funny ones.
Like what about?
Just like I would use quotes from shows or songs or movies in my classroom.
So I was giving a spelling test, and the word was sign so when i was
giving it to the class i was like sign i saw the sign and it opened up my eyes i saw the sign like
just went with it right yeah and uh just dumb stuff like that and it was picking up picking up
and then i did i i pranked my students on april fool's Day and gave them a fake spelling test. I made up all the words.
No words were real.
And they were freaking out.
But then I doubled down,
and when I had to tell them how to spell the words,
I was like, the word is speaku.
S-P-U-K-Z-S-L-M-N.
They're silent letters at the end of that one.
Just like, you know, messing with them.
They're flipping.
That video.
They didn't know though.
They thought these were real words.
Not until I told them at the end.
Yeah.
They were like, this is so hard.
It was so funny.
One kid's like, these are Chinese words.
I'm like, no, these are real.
And then I had, and then I had 20 million views overnight on that one on that one overnight
that was straight youtube that was straight facebook oh yeah you went in on facebook i
need to do that and then facebook at that time too was still really like a lot of millennials
still on it yeah and then that just led to every other platform and
then when ellen put me on that was like game over game over what did you guys did you like perform
i haven't even seen she just had so here's the funny thing she had me on just to talk about the
spelling test video and the producers were like yo we know you do comedy but like we're trying
to paint you as like this wholesome teacher that did this video and i'm like that i was like no problem so they're like don't try and be funny
i'm like i don't gotta try bitch i am right like done so i went on and i did really well just
chit-chatting and bantering with her then she invited me back three weeks later to be back again
and was that like still wholesome teacher yeah Yeah. Was that like, guess what? But I was still like shooting the shit.
We like got along for real.
Yeah.
And then she made some special time for me when the cameras weren't on.
And she's like, hey, I heard you're a comedian.
I was like, yeah.
She's like, well, you're really good.
I was like, well, thanks.
And she's like, no, I don't think you understand.
You're really good.
You need to do something with this for real.
And I was like, I'm sorry what um you're
telling me and then i like then i went ham i had about 45 minutes at that time finished my hour
rounded out to 60 and started cold calling clubs boom and then it went and we're off the story. That's right. Of Mr. D.
That is the origin story.
I know that's right.
Okay.
I asked you about this via text message. This is the espresso question of the week this week on the podcast that's available for everyone.
But we're going to do a little sneak peek with Mr. D.
Okay. Espresso question of the week. available for everyone but we're gonna do a little sneak peek with mr d okay espresso
question of the week something you do that seems illegal but isn't
for me i'd have to say uh
this probably isn't shouldn't be illegal but it should be like okay if i saw myself doing
this i'd be like he needs to enroll in some kind of program yeah okay okay when i'm bored sometimes
specifically in school i don't know why i started doing this but i pull all my eyebrow hair out in
just kind of sprinkle it on paper
what would happen if i was in your i i don't feel safe can i leave
is that dude i don't know i'll just be reading the paper and i'll just be kind of like messing
you got one you're like oh shit you got two oh shit and i'm not gonna lie
this is a gateway drug to doing it to your nose hair no stop ben what are you ever pissed off and
just kind of get a pinch i'm just saying and you just get it arrest me no stop it that does seem
illegal that does it's not okay oh man i'm doing it in the public eye stop me i think i feel
like i do that with my beard that hurts since i shaved my head i'm constantly rubbing my head
yeah you're just newly bald yeah i love it i went full i'm getting bald up here so i'm getting a
hair transplant dude me too that's why i shaved this because I was like, first, before I do it.
Shut up.
Swear to God.
I was like, I want to.
That's why I shaved my head because this is the decision maker.
I had to do the same thing.
I've never had short hair.
I shaved my head down just like yours.
Did you do it just to see?
No, no.
I was like, I'm all in.
And they're like, we're going to have to shave your head.
So you might as well just do it anyway before you come in.
I was like, I don't think you understand. I've've never shaved my head before how long ago did you do it
i did it like uh over a year ago is this just for your consult no you did it you went through with
it oh yeah but it's done you had it i've i have new hair in the front it's from the back of my
head yeah home boy i gotta see before and afters man yeah i will i'll
show you you okay so i'll tell you everything bro we can do it right now so this head shave
is because i got my consult right and this shit's not cheap right so it's a new car it's a hondai
odyssey yeah yeah yeah yeah so i shaved my head to see this is my are you still sexy with a bald head yeah and then i
shaved my head and the first thing i said when my buddy cuts my hair so when he turned me around i
looked in the mirror i was like i'd fuck me so i was like i think i'm okay with you're not thinking
like that you're wrong so i'm gonna we're trying to buy a house right now too so i'm gonna i'm
doing keeps i've been doing keeps for a while i'm just gonna keep doing it till we have the house then get it done because the consult i was like fuck my consult was bad dude like they took a picture at the top of my
head no crazy camera no crazy lighting normal ass phone normal ass building and i was like
so you were going in the front like really going in the front bad all throughout the top
then what when when did you get it done i got it done july during pandy no yeah and
i was like nobody's gonna see me i might as well do it july 2020 july 2020 oh so over a year yeah
it's been a little over a year and are you satisfied yeah i mean you gotta you gotta take
the keeps pills or whatever forever yeah do it too
and i think that really helps yeah i think so too because i stopped taking mine because i just
couldn't get a refill and the doctor was like booked and you had to get a prescription again
and like i think like you can kind of tell some may fall out every now and then so you got to
keep on that if you keep on the nasty nastoride your hair is gonna stay in did it hurt no shut up i didn't i
always go on instagram live and i call it the bald guy's chat room and i just talk about this hair
transplant on ig live and i post pictures of it i got pictures i gotta send you dude i i let's but
when we hang up here before before the fucking show tonight i gotta see you before and after
i'm so i've been talking about this for years i'll show you it all i was thinking about it for a long time
so i was like i'll never do that then i was like fuck it i have to do it did you get it done here
in indy yeah okay so this is what's up to the guy that i went to the was it possibly it wasn't
possibly did you do possibly no i was reading reviews like a bitch me too but i'm scared
because a lot of these places do the whole thing where like,
oh, well, we'll give you 5% off if you leave us a review.
So half those reviews are fucking fake.
Oh, shit.
So this guy that I went to, right?
I was in.
I was in.
I was like, let's do this.
And then I asked him in the chat because I was, okay,
I was on his website doing my homework, right?
And the before and after pictures that he had weren't fantastic.
So in my head, I'm thinking he's being honest.
He's not going to put some fake ass bullshit.
So I'm like, okay.
And then I asked him in the chair right before he left.
I was like, hey, can I see some before and after pictures?
He's like, everything you need to see is on the website and just walked away.
And I'm like, yo, if these are your best, I don't fucking want it oh so i called back and i was like no and i even told him here's
why and that's what i did you told him like about here's why because you're you're you don't have
good before and after pictures it didn't sell me and i asked i even asked him i was like i'll talk
all about your your your pro what is it called your i said the same him i was like i'll talk all about your your your pro what is it called
your i said the same thing i was like i'll influence the procedure yeah i'll influence
the fuck out of it give me like 2k off i don't think that's what i did too i don't get it no
because i was posting some serious raw shit like during bad times of the hair transplant shit what's
a bad time a bad time like okay you go in the day of, do you know how this works? Like kind of, well, I think I do, but honestly you are,
I've talked to a couple of people, but this is real, real. Okay. So they take the hair out of
here, back of your head because this hair, you did the follicle, the PCR. Oh yeah. Okay. Because
you had a little longer hair before. So I think I'd recommend that.
Like, I'm a fucking doctor now.
So you walk in, I'm your surgeon.
You're like, okay, going back to the guy that didn't have good or before and after.
Okay.
So you take the hair out of here because this hair never stops growing.
And they shave your head up top and implant all these new follicles from here into here.
and implant all these new follicles from here into here.
Yeah.
And so the top of your head is shaved,
and it just has a bunch of, like, stab holes on top.
I'll show you pics.
Dude, it looks fucking nuts. It looks so crazy.
Like Barbie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly like that.
Like Angelica's doll head.
Yes.
Without the...
Hair, yeah.
Yeah.
But I was like
I'm gonna
I can't just not be on social media
For three weeks
Or however
Long it takes to look normal
Like I have to say shit
So the first day
I was
What up
And then
They have to numb your head
To do this procedure
So all that shit
Your fluid
All the fluid runs down
I'm like
Oh this isn't too bad
Like my face looks kind of
weird because it's like numb up here but whatever it'll be gone in like three days or whatever
dude it took three weeks and were your eyes just like fat it looks like somebody beat the
shit out of me it looked like i was just there was oncoming traffic and i was just doing this
just getting shit blown out of my face By like Honda Civics
Nissan Pathfinder
Ford F-150
Dude
People would DM me and be like
Bro whose ass do I need to beat
I was like
Dude I got a hair transplant
Like the less tough guy
I've never been in a fight
I just got a hair transplant like the less tough guy like i'm i've never been in a fight i just got a hair
transplant shit man shit so did they wait so you they went from the front to the back did they
bring your hairline down a little bit too no they just kind of filled in from where it should have
been where were you really going up front or in the back well at first i was like dude my hair
back here is bad and they're like no bro it, all this is what you need to be worried about.
And I was like, thanks, bitch.
Seriously.
I was like, I thought I was doing okay
in the fucking front and top.
They're like, no, dog,
that's what we're going to fix first.
And I was like, well, can you get back to the crown?
And they're like,
you're going to have to pay like $20,000.
And I was like, okay.
And they're like, yeah.
Wait, wait, wait.
Just for that extension
or the whole thing would have been $20,000?
I mean, to get it all done in one hit, it probably would have been around like
$17,000, $15,000.
But I did like, from kind of in the crown to all the way up here, it was like around
$10,000.
O' Okay.
And I was hoping I could get some money up, but that did not happen because I was
just posting all the things people didn't want to see just because i didn't care right but uh what are we
oh no they're like if we pull it down in the front like you're gonna look like a sixth grader and i
was like okay that is a
thick-ass hairline yeah hey they got me right in the front like right here it's
just always been kind of bad for me is your mom's dad bald your grandpa he's

So all my life in high school and shit, I was like, I don't need to worry about all that.
Then one day I was getting my hair cut at great clips and the barber was like hey uh guess
what you might need some of this hair regrowth stuff and i was like that's when it all started
how old were you then when that happened no one like when they said in yeah i think i was like 25

since for sure gonna do it just gotta find a new guy in my head ever since. For sure going to do it.
Just got to find a new guy.
I think I'm going to go to Chicago to do it because two of my buddies got it done in Chicago

now but real quick before we jump out of here what's uh the thing you do that seems illegal
but it isn't and we'll get it and we'll bounce i fall down like deep deep rabbit holes oh i thought you just meant like the stairs no that to you no i fell
down deep rabbit holes and i'll get sucked into things and i'll like learn everything about it

a lot anyway what's the thing i get into into health and fitness stuff really, really deeply.
Have you ever heard about the benefits of bone broth?
I've heard of this, but I have no idea.
So apparently the collagen in it is so good for you,
and I am constantly throwing my back.
I told you something.
I've got to change some shit.
Definitely the way that I eat.
I'm hearing all about this bone broth so i now cook and make my own chicken feet soup 9-1-1 what's your emergency
yeah this guy's cooking chicken feet chicken feet soup chicken feet soup yeah it tastes just like
chicken soup so what do
you it's like the procedure to get that done you go so first of all chicken feet and like bones
are stupid cheap like a a huge bag for i'm not shitting two dollars and then i you put it in
the crock pot just literal chicken feet chicken feet they look like dinosaur talons it's crazy no joke put it in the crock pot
with a chopped up carrot chopped up celery chopped up onion a bay leaf if you nasty
some peppercorns and salt fill up that wah-wah-wee-wah 24 hours on liggity low
oh and you got yourself some thumbs up but like their fingernails and like all that stuff just melts into it.
So then you make this soup and you put it in the fridge, right?
It turns into.
The top of it.
Now the whole thing turns into jello.
I'm going to die.
Like a jello.
Like a thick jello.
Dude.
And you scoop that jello. And when you reheat it up it goes back to soup
and i eat that soup every single day and it helps that for that refrigeration process
has me fucked up it's nuts and also on top of that i don't like eating breakfast necessarily
like it's just like i don't have time 100 if you're still eating
breakfast get a job so for the past like yeah for sure for the past seven years i've ate two raw
eggs every morning easy and everyone's like raw it doesn't do shit to you no people are like you're
