Espresso, question of the week.
What's your irrational fear?
For me, how does, every time I take a shower,
how does the tub not fall through six floors of my apartment?
How does the tub not fall through six floors of my apartment?
And I just end up in the lobby naked and wet.
Hey, you know.
When I'm driving down the road, how does my tire not just pop off of my car and drill somebody in the head?
How does it not ever happened?
How does a snake not bite my full ass every time I'm on the toilet?
Just once.
What's your irrational fear?
We got a lot.
Let's get to them.
My irrational fear is band-aids like something about band-aids just trigger me in a way that i cannot handle like if i go to the doctor and they
put one on me i like have to leave it there until like eventually it falls off i can't touch it i
can't look at it like the feeling of ripping it, but then also the feeling of when it's damp, like, oh my God, it freaks me out. And
my kid is in her like bandaid stage where she wants a bandaid on every boo-boo. And like, I
simply cannot, like, I don't want to touch them. I don't want to look at them.
I'm a nurse and like i will do literally
anything else but the second i have to put a band-aid on a kid i do not know why i just
it freaks me out so yeah that is my irrational fear
i'm not scared of band-aids i'm just like do we need them dude you could slice my leg open with a katana
i'd be like you know i don't think i've never ever ever used a band-aid unless i was like six
and somebody put on my arm but if i have to draw blood and somebody puts a band-aid on me
i either take it off immediately because i'm like gross or I forget it's there for like 14 days and it's just on my arm but
band-aids
who's buying this
who's ripped a band-aid
chop my finger
off not putting a band-aid on it
could it be
an
uglier accessory
dude if i see you and you have a band-aid on your arm i'm not talking to you
if you're sitting there you could be the most beautiful person
the funniest guy if you have a band-aid on your arm i'm like nah i'm good why is it so like uh not even the reason of it like carrying
bacteria i'm just like you're a band-aid guy you're either band-aid mom or you're i've never
worn a band-aid in my entire who needs them get a shot put a band-aid on for what are you gonna bleed out i'd rather hold my arm
band-aids bro i can't remember the last time i actually was like hi does anyone have a band-aid
i need a band-aid okay maybe because i cut my okay okay okay okay i did slice my finger open when i was working one time
and i was cutting lemons and i put a band-aid on my finger but oh right like five minutes after
the band-aid i take it off so i'm like i don't want to be band-aid guy so i have this like
really weird fear and i don't know where it came from or how it even started i could listen to you all day
it's just like hand injuries right like getting a paper cut oh you know messing up a nail
breaking a finger or like if it happens to anybody else either i'm like i cannot
function it is the weirdest thing and i cannot explain it
no i kind of feel you you just gotta put a band-aid on it bro don't be
don't be all macho who doesn't use band-aids no but i got a paper cut one time and i'm so scared
i'm so like i'm such a bitch around paper i'm like um you ever get a paper cut from like
some serious from like a poster board
right in between the webbing of your fingers god dang dude i got a paper cut one it was i was an
art class and i got a paper cut and i was like is this i need a bandit no it's it was it hurts so bad and i i always try to i try
to like walk a little shit off like that but dude right how come how come every time i get a paper
cut on my finger the next thing i do is like dip my finger in like some like some type of like
why do i dip my whole hand in a a bowl of sunny d after that i'm like
god damn it we'll never remember that that i have a paper cut all over my thumb
and they're so he's right dude the little like hangnails, dude, that'll ruin my entire day.
And it like, when I get a hangnail, for some reason, I feel like I almost like bruised my finger too. I can't use my whole hand. If I have a hangnail, I love you burpee boy. Oh, whoa,
dude. I am the absolute king of biting my nails too short i've had i've been captain i've been
sergeant short now like you know you bite your nails a little too short and you like
honestly can't even use your the right half of your body anymore you're like i can't even grab a cup and it just feels so good why do you bite him so short then you it because like
you know when you're you're eating like a dessert and it's in a big pan and you gotta like even it
out you know when you're eating a cake and it's in a big pan and you're like i gotta even this
row out i better even that out oh there's one
piece i gotta make it a straight line like a laser cut this cake that's what i do with my
with my nails i'm like i know it's bad but like yo i at least gotta make this like perfectly round
then i make it perfectly round and you gotta amputate my whole entire hand because i can't use
it i've been terrified
that if i have both my windows down in the car or all four of them down that a bird is going to fly
and get stuck in my car i'm going to have a panic attack because it's going to scare the shit out of
me and then i'm gonna crash my car and then i'll probably die but the bird will probably live it's
so true how come birds aren't doing that yet?
So I can just I can just accidentally leave my patio doors open in my apartment for a whole day and no birds will fly in here.
How long does it take for a bird to fly in your apartment or car?
So I can't be at a red light just chilling with my windows.
Dude, birds should be obliterating us at red lights.
God, can I just be a bird for a day?
A bird or a cat?
Oh my God.
My whole entire For You page is just cats with cameras on their collars. And this just shows what they do all day i'm like cats are the freest things in the world they do whatever they want whatever
they want no rules for a cat birds should be out here terrorizing our cars yeah i know
yeah i can tell like while driving pretty tough, pretty tough for a bird to just fly in there. Not going to lie.
My rational fear is when I'm driving in a car with two of my windows down or maybe just one of them down.
That that noise is going to happen, that.
You know, when you're driving down like a road and all that i don't even know what
it's called but the air like gets trapped in your car i feel like my irrational fear is that's just
gonna blow my brain out that thump gets so loud how do birds know
that it's just the best living situation in the world
is just right in the middle of the target sign on the front of the target building just right in
the bullseye you ever see one of Dude, birds used to own store signs. The
Owen Kroger. Kroger,
if you're a mom.
Birds used to just do the best
apartment in the city
for a bird. The Owen
Kroger. Just chilling in there.
Now they put spikes and shit
on the store signs
i used to get so jealous of a bird oh my god look at that nest oh my look at that nest oh my god
right in the dip of the s on marsh i'd, ooh, bro's got the penthouse.
Tell me why every time I'm driving
I assume that cars will
swerve over into my lane and hit me
and kill me instantly.
Don't even get me started on those
roads where there's no median and the cars
come in directly at you
inches from your car.
And trucks come in little mini panic
attack uh all the way down the road uh i'm like 99.7 sure that's how i'm gonna die one day but
oh for sure yeah that's mine and it happens every day it's real nice. Okay. Love you, Benny. Love you more. Oh, love this guy.
I forgot.
Forgot I love you so much, sir.
Realize who you are at the end.
I don't know who you are, but anonymously, I do.
It's crazy.
I have this image of you guys in my head when I listen to these.
When I listen to these and I hear you guys a couple of times.
Dude, one lady came up to me after a show and she started talking.
I was like, you're the...
And she's like, yep, fam. I was like you're the and she's like yep fam i was like but yeah he's right hey you know when like there's
three lanes of traffic and you're on the far outside one and there's another car on the far
outside one there's the middle lanes free how has it never happened that both of you guys try to go
in the middle lane at the same time?
Every time I do it, I'm like, they're going to and we're going to crash.
How does it not happen?
And the little mini panic attack.
I just feel like I've said it so many times.
How are how aren't people getting in car accidents two thousand times a minute
the amount of things that can go wrong and they're not going wrong i'm like i feel like a car should
be blowing up every 17 seconds on the road yeah i'd be like she's sure why wouldn't it
all those things in a car and it's not.
You're telling me I can just leave my car on and pump gas.
And my car isn't going to explode at the gas station, make the gas station explode and then make all the cars explode at the gas station.
That's never happened.
Except for on Grand Theft Auto, and that's why that's in my head right now.
Except for on Grand Theft Auto, and that's why that's in my head right now.
I can almost promise that I've been...
You know when a semi goes by your car and you're like,
How many times have I owned?
I just want to know how many semi drivers,
semi truck drivers I've pissed off in my life.
Cause I probably like this fucking dude.
I do.
I inconvenience him every single time.
I'm like,
I don't know,
bro.
You're like too big.
That's my excuse.
Cut one off.
It rolls off the side of the road.
I'm like,
you're just too big.
My irrational fear is ceiling fans
um if they are spinning even a little bit too fast i'm afraid that they're going to fall off
and chop all of my kids heads off or entailed how hasn't it why why does my brain tell me this
because why hasn't it if a ceiling fan came off the ceiling and sliced my head off,
I'd be like, duh, obviously.
Has it not happened?
It happened to me one time.
Didn't slice my head off, but boy.
Dumbest way I almost died, freshman year, college football,
there was like a fan.
You know, you see a fan that's like okay that's
gonna kill me it was just we were just letting it roll bro it was like the whole base of it was like
it was out of control but we just whatever we just let it i was like it must be good it must
have been doing that for like the last 15 years i don't know why that makes it any better but i was at my locker and one of the like blades
popped off the fan and like right in front of my face drilled the locker it would have been really
crazy if the blade would have got like stuck in the locker but it didn't it just like hit the
locker right in front of my face had Had no clue it was even happening.
One of my friends was like,
yo!
And I was like, what?
Thank God I didn't know.
Dude, that's the beautiful thing about dumb people.
You never know shit.
So I didn't know.
I was like, oh, no way.
Oh, okay.
Didn't even know.
Yeah, every fan in the world should come out of the, like every blade of a fan should come out of the thing and slice people's heads off buying a fan i know that installing if that's
why i've never installed dude people that install fans in other people's houses aren't you like well
they're gonna die how about that fan at your grandma's house that like.
Was not safe at all.
Everybody's grandma had a fan that like you could easily slice your whole entire hand off.
Both hands.
Well, shit.
Like there was no cage.
Every grandma owned a fan with no cage on it and you're
just like how is this okay why do you why did why do you still have it with grandkids around and
shit you're just like yeah that'll work every do that one fan in the basement your grandparents
house and you're like yo that thing that thing. That's a weapon from like World War
II or something.
That's grandpa's fan.
But then the fan upstairs
didn't work one time and they had to
bring that fan upstairs to
cool off the living room on a hot summer
day and you're like, whoa, bro.
They brought up the World War II
fan
I just have memories of being
at my grandparents house like I
think I was there for too long so we go to
my grandparents house for like a week
because they lived out of town
anybody else do that and you start like
you start being like a little
too comfortable with your grandparents
literally absolutely nothing to do just making up games in my head and shit
i would hang out with my grandparents all day for four days straight
and and start like doing like crazy stuff like one time i bought a bought a bunch of balloons
and i put them under the cushions
of every chair so when my grandma sat down it'd be like and it never worked she sat in every chair
and i was like every time i was like god damn it she was like what i was like uh never mind
you were supposed to sit down the balloon was to pop. It was supposed to be like you farted.
Never mind.
It was going to be hilarious, but never mind.
I swear to God, my grandma had to think I was so weird, bro.
I went, I was in a tree.
I was standing in a tree for the whole day.
In a tree, both feet on a branch, my arms on another branch, seven hours.
You hungry?
I'm good.
Just chilling.
Seven hours.
I had a basket up there full of mini apples from the tree.
I'd pull them down, put them in a basket.
And I think I threw them at birds.
I just sat there the whole day.
I'm like, this is my kingdom.
No one can see me.
Bro, people had to drive by like,
what if they're still up there?
What the hell is he even doing?
Nothing.
I didn't have a Game Boy.
Nothing.
Next week's question.
What's the weirdest thing you did at your grandma's house oh my god
you low-key getting in trouble at your grandma's and you're like
god damn it just don't tell my dad please don't tell my dad holy shit don't tell my dad
i started like uh my grandma would like always be like
you want something to eat and i started like abusing it kind of because i was like all all
she wants to do is like make me food i just started saying yes and it'd be like 2 p.m and
i'd be like can i have some ice cream, and she'd make me a bowl of ice cream.
Like there was never a no for food.
It was just green light, green light.
I could have asked for anything and it would have been there in 30 minutes.
On the table with a glass of milk and a mini fork and spoon i love mini forks and spoon because my
grandma starts crying it could have been july 2nd and i could have been like hey can can you do
thanksgiving like i'm kind of hungry do you have like thing and she would have pulled out last
year's thanksgiving food perfectly perfectly edible everything and i would have eaten it
right then and there,
30 minutes with pumpkin pie and whipped cream on the top.
I mean, I wouldn't say this is irrational because it could totally happen,
kind of like a snake biting your butt when you use the toilet.
But I basically picture my death every single time I go down the stairs.
I just think I'm going to fall and tumble to my death. single time i go down the stairs i just think i'm gonna fall
and tumble to my death oh yeah can we bring it back i haven't had heard a good
remember that was so that was so it for our podcast i don't know if it was ever it, but.
Yeah.
See, that's the thing about stairs.
Somebody needs to set an example.
Somebody needs to fall down the stairs hard and then you'll never slip up on the stairs.
Did we are all at this girls? We're all at the volleyball house one time in college volleyball house was lit it's like three girls lived in this big ass house me and my friends always went over
there because it was a huge house and it was like how did you guys i don't even want to how did you
guys rent that what is even going on who's paying i don't know i don't care but it
was like the morning and i woke up on the couch just like what and this girl from upstairs came
downstairs heels from the night before going out clothes from the night before
you can hear the heels upstairs you know like when your teacher walks through the hallway and it sounds like a
Clydesdale,
I was like,
okay,
I'm up.
She starts going down the stairs.
She fell down every single stair.
There's like 17 stairs,
like an old house,
you know,
like old houses around colleges
that they just ran out to kids for like way too much money
and i kind of thought she was kidding or she like slid a box down the stairs
so i was like uh she's like smart she's like a she's like smart and she goes to like this
different college and she's like studying and all i was like my
thing in my head was like she's the smartest girl ever every and in moments like that
i'm like so embarrassed sometimes that i don't even i just i just pretended i was sleeping
i was like i'm just gonna i'm not gonna say anything just get out
of here while you can like that that was the vibe i might have looked at her and i was like just go
just go i'll remember this for the rest of my life and say it on a podcast in 20 years
but you just get the hell out of here caitlin brandon um but yeah after that i was like i'm never i'm never missing a step never after that
in heels and going 7 a.m
craziest thing ever
um how about when you're going down the stairs in the dark and you like
forget there's one more step and your whole entire life flashes before
and you have no idea how you landed it
people are here you okay you're like ah yeah nothing nothing or you think there's an extra step at the top
because it's dark and you do that weird like lunge thing you're done with the stairs and you do that
that gallop you're like oh so weird i'm like how have i not dislocated my knees on every step
dude the stairs in old houses that the width of the step is like this big
how many houses have i been in with stairs that are the size of uh an iphone
i'm like the this big the width of an iphone whatever that is i'm like why do i have to tiptoe an iPhone, whatever that is. I'm like, why do I have to tiptoe up these stairs, bro?
And it's always the old, how come every house I've ever been in is from the Civil War?
Two war references.
My rational fear is going to try on shoes and then having the new shoes I'm trying on
and then leaving the box behind and then leaving my shoes I came in the store with and like someone coming up and putting them in the box
and then putting the box up on the shelf somewhere
and then me not being able to find my shoes.
Oh, my God.
And so I have no other choice but to buy shoes.
Or someone grabs my shoes and puts them on their feet
and walks out the store with them.
And I'd still have to
buy new shoes against my will or if i didn't like them i'd have to find some i liked
it's like the best worst problem ever oh shucks i gotta buy new shoes
dude um there's a horror story i don't know if I told you guys this, but I worked at Champ Sports when I was in college in the mall.
Best job I've ever had.
But somebody got a pair of shoes for somebody.
Can I get a size 12 in these?
Went back to the back, got them, bought the box out, and there was a rat in one of the shoes, and it scurried away.
Does it sound made up now?
Yes, it does.
And I don't believe it anymore either.
Yeah, but how come every time I'm in the mall.
Who stole my shit?
My dumb ass.
Every time I'm in the mall, I have four bags with me.
Okay, not every time because I never buy shit in the mall.
I just look because I'm 17.
Every time I go to the mall and I actually buy something,
why do I leave that bag in a PacSun?
And I go in the PacSun.
I race to the PacSun.
And I'm like, hey, do you have that picture of me?
Oh, my God. thank you so much every time I'm in the
mall I gotta leave something at a different store on the bench dude and why do I think 19 scavengers
are gonna take it they're watching me and they're gonna take it right when I leave the store. Dude, I leave my phone on the ground while I'm
working out every time, everywhere. Am I the only one that does this? When you're working out,
dude, I just throw my phone next to the machine and do the shit. And then that's it.
I don't know if I see anybody else's phones out when they're working out.
I don't know if I see anybody else's phones out when they're working out.
And sometimes like I'll use my phone to mark the machine.
Like, oh, the benches are always taken.
It's Monday, big chess day.
There's a bench open.
I'll literally throw my phone like seven yards away.
It lands by the bench and I'm like, that's my bench.
And I go get like the weights so nobody takes it.
But every time I'm like, how is no one stealing my phone?
Who wants my old iPhone 13?
Does anyone know what iPhone I have?
Somebody asked me what iPhone I have.
And I'm like the one from like four years ago, I think.
They all do the exact. I haven't seen an iphone where i'm like damn i want that one
bro i don't know uh as long as the emojis are new i guess the camera on the camera
in the camera in the camera i'm like suck my dick dude no difference from uh hey hey hey when iphones didn't have video
you guys remember that what dude that blew my mind i had to download a video app for the iphone
the iphone doesn't have video dude there was another thing it didn't have too. Maybe flash.
I was like, dude, what are you guys doing?
And I was able to buy this phone.
It has a camera for pictures only.
Kill me.
Is it such a weird process to try on shoes in a store?
I'm like, we're still doing that
did did they allow that over covid
so i can take my bro the amount of times oh shoe people have to be like this dude
bro i've tried on shoes before without socks on like i walk in their dirty ass shoes still kind of do it like when i was a
kid my shoes were like it looked like they went through a fire my mom wouldn't let me get new
shoes unless my old shoes were like like a homeless person's shoes like you could see my toes in them
and you know what i mean i still kind of have some shoes like you could see my toes in them and you know what i mean i still
kind of have some shoes like like that where my pinky toes popping out the side i'm like why do
i keep wearing these hobo shoes there would be zero traction on the bottom my feet are busting
out the sides way too small my mom would still be, you can give it a couple more weeks. Dude.
I'd walk into a footlocker with those shoes, beat nasty socks, yellow socks with a big, with a, what's the silver dollar size hole in the bottom of my sock?
And then try on the freshest pair of shoes in the
store like nothing ever happened bro people had to be like yo that's got to be some that's got
to be like a weird bro i will use shit to the last drop i'm just thinking about how gross my Rob.
I'm just thinking about how gross my nasty feet were.
You guys know my feet.
In every shoe?
Hey, trying on sandals?
Weirdest thing ever.
Taxes and anything related to government paperwork.
Although I think that's a rational fear because if you do it wrong and you get in trouble like how are you supposed to know seriously so yeah fill out your taxes you
better do your tax i'm like how would i know if they're wrong i feel like i'm guessing so i'm like
i think dude i do some my taxes i don't do. I don't do them. I don't do them.
Pass that to my family tax lady who God knows she has to be like, what are you guys doing?
I have no idea.
That's the thing about mail, too. Like, how am I supposed to know if I'm ever going to jail like you're gonna like come to my apartment
how the fuck are you gonna I don't I barely even know my own address right now somebody asked me
my address the other day I was like hold on let me look in my phone I have no but you're what are
you gonna do are you gonna are you gonna mail me a letter that says I have 30 days where I'm going to jail? I'm never going to see that.
Got to file your tax.
What?
What is this shit?
They got to be doing that in high school now, right?
I know that's like the age old.
What do they teach us how to file our taxes in high school?
But like they're doing that now, right?
Because what?
I should have
been in jail that'd be the bitchiest thing to go to jail for yeah dude three years what'd you do
filled out my w9 wrong you never hear about that shit um my irrational fear i've had since i was a kid is going swimming at night
and a shark attacking me out of nowhere um completely impossible but i guess it wouldn't
be an irrational fear if it wasn't so god damn i just got scared again scared doing a podcast part 8952
i've never thought that because i've never seen jaws somebody was like dude don't want if you
watch jaws you'll never be able to like swim again kind of i was like oh never gonna watch it
never seen it but i've never had that where i'm like there's a shark in here
i'm always just like there's i always think there's something going on
outside of the pool you ever night swim oh god that's so scary
i can't do a lot of a lot of that kind of stuff by myself
i could be in a pool.
My friend goes inside to get a Mountain Dew, comes outside.
Bro, I will be so scared.
I might be out of the pool.
I can't do anything.
I'm in a pool at night.
I'm like, there's somebody behind that tree.
God damn it.
There's somebody behind that tree, right?
Every single time.
Every time.
I'm like, why is there somebody behind that tree?
Why is that guy looking at me from his porch? Not a guy at all. It's a pot.
How come every time I do anything outside at night, I'm like, oh God.
Yep. There's my stalker.
But I feel like nine people are following me.
Do I ever think there's sharks in a pool?
No, but I think there's a dude in the pool in the deep end just.
Floating.
Bro, going to the deep end at night is kind of crazy.
That corner, that back back corner you're like ah the ball went over there get it i'm like i'm gonna get out of the pool and walk around on
the edge get the ball and then i'm getting out of the pool though
on that weird like metal like ladder on the side i'm like there's seven dudes grabbing at my feet
for sure that's when the shark comes up that's when the shark gets me swimming at night i'm like
whatever we're good.
But right when I get out of the pool, seven sharks going for my foot.
Every time.
Hey, I gotta get out of the pool.
Even in the daylight.
Let's keep going.
I love you.
Scared of the irrational bullshit
Milky Boy
Milky Boy confessions
anyway
yeah irrational fear definitely gonna be the dark
everyone's gonna say it's a basic bitch move
I know
but
there are no buts it's just that you know or that i'm gonna like
sleep wake up from like a sleep paralysis thing and there's gonna be some freaking
demon in my room and i'm like half asleep say half not and it's just gonna be that dude like
i know it's not there dude even in the freaking shower my guy eyes are closed freaking fins up swimming
through that shit and i'm just rinsing the soap and shampoo off the flow my guy it's time to go
bars yeah definitely the dark you know what i mean or i don't like turning my back to shit
oh this one's way better being in a body of water with objects larger than myself, case in point.
Back in what I call summer 2018.
Game Man guy.
He was playing a little baddie.
A little baddie.
A little baddie.
Love the Milky Boy relationship stories. Friends with Shane Schmeiman.
Anywho, her uncle had a boat and a jet ski.
We're having a great time frolicking about the water like a couple of
dipshits and then some are just having fun some are love you know any whoosies so we jump
time wise we got time so i'm having a great time jump off the boat midair having a great time
loving life laughing my ass off having a joyful time as soon as my giant ass hits the water
i'm starting to get back hits the water i'm starting
to get back on the boat i'm internally freaking the hell out because there's a big thing in the
water with me and i myself it's a boat okay jet ski flew off had so much fun as soon as i skidded
it hit the water freaking out trying to get back up if i'm in a pool there's a pool hose my guy
i'm losing every bit of sanity you know what i mean it's so dumb but being in
uh bodies of water with our objects larger than myself that kind of uh
it doesn't
it doesn't float my boat.
Is that what he said?
Hold on.
Run that back.
Being in bodies of water with our objects larger than myself.
That kind of dampens the mood.
I don't know what he said.
But I love you Milky Boy
yeah I've been scared to death
out of the lake before
late night at a lake you'll see some shit
and I think it's all
legit
late night at a lake one time I swear
on my entire soul
I saw a lady in a wedding dress but i was
like with four dudes and i was like that's a lady in a wedding dress and it looked a hundred percent
i think it was i was like that's a ghost the ghost of a dead bride or some shit
but one of my friends like wasn't into getting scared you know i'm like
you ever have that one friend that's like not i'm like bro come like yes it is if i'm with two
people that are like talking about getting scared i'm gonna get i'm gonna get scared for the for
the situation oh i don't feel like getting scared tonight so i'm gonna say no and be like no
if we're getting scared we're getting scared
three dudes so scared of the lady in the wedding dress and one of the guys just like nah bro i
don't see it i'm like come on yo benny you ever driving along next to a truck that has about 25 to 30 logs on it?
And for a split second, you just think, man, if one of those cages holding those in were to just fall down, your life would be over immediately.
This guy's good.
Every time
I'm behind a truck that
has stuff strapped to it,
I'm like,
are we sure that's
held down? What?
I think it's insane that you can just put anything in the in the truck bed and it's like, yeah, it's got to be strapped down.
Like, OK, but how does he know?
Like.
You can put a jump rope on top of a truck bed full of logs and I'd be like.
I guess there's no rules for that.
You can put a thousand swords in your truck bed.
As long as there's one strap over the top,
you're good.
What?
How is everything staying on?
Although I have put my phone on top of my car,
driven like two and a half miles,
turning and stuff, gotten out of the car and my phone's still on top of my car driven like two and a half miles turning and stuff gotten out of the car
and my phone's still on top of the car so maybe but yeah every time i'm behind a truck with a
bunch of shit i'm like how's how's all this stuff not impaling my windshield and going right through
my throat i mean if that's how i'm gonna die that's how i'm gonna die i'm gonna get hit by a car for
sure the end you know i'm gonna do when i'm about to get hit by the car but when it's coming towards
me i'm gonna like i'm gonna be like i can jump over this car. Car. Car.
Car.
Car.
Yeah, like behind like a gravel
truck. I'm like, yo, rock through the windshield.
Just do it already.
A plane falling out of the
sky and crashing on top of
my house. Hey, how? Hey, every plane. How you not falling out of the sky and crashing on top of my house. Hey, every plane, how are you not falling out of the sky?
You just can't.
I can't wrap my head around the fact that there's just planes and they never crash.
Every plane, every flight, a million flights every day.
And those aren't running into each other like not once.
What?
So you're telling me I could have been across the country this morning?
It's so insane.
What?
You'll never. How is a plane not falling out of the sky right now? Right now. What? You'll never.
How is a plane not falling out of the sky right now?
Right now, right now, right now, right now, right now.
They always have enough fuel.
Dude, when I get on planes, I'm like, they probably didn't check something, right?
And all the planes are from like 1951.
I'm like, there's not an updated plane.
There's like three.
No, like all the Southwest like plane.
They like.
No, they just redid the seats inside of the old ass plane.
It's so mysterious.
I'm like, what do you guys know that I don't?
About planes. so mysterious i'm like what do you guys know that i don't about planes so like all this stuff works on it like this just flew from california to new jersey and all you're sure all this stuff works
we're just flying right back and it's gonna work okay i mean i about to dig it
Okay, I mean, I about to dig it.
My irrational fear is getting stuck in, like, confined spaces.
Specifically, like, if I'm in, like, a public bathroom.
Ooh. And I shut the door and lock it, that, like, I'm not going to be able to open the door and, like, get back out.
Like, I'm going to be, like, like trapped in there no one's gonna know but if it's
a like stall I've thought about that like that I feel better with because if for some reason it
didn't open I could like crawl under like the bottom but if it's a door and it's just like a
one person like who's gonna know I'm in there and how do i get out if it locks me in um an elevator
just malfunctioning like when i'm in an enclosed space and i can't get out again
that freaks me the fuck out um a walk-in cooler okay all right freezer that's the one baby girl work in a restaurant or whatever
like just going in there to grab extra like tub of ice cream and you go to open the door and it's
just locked like oh just anything with being like locked in and like can't get out.
Like, so now if I am in public and I go to the bathroom, I just won't lock the door.
I'd rather somebody walk in on me than me potentially get locked in.
I don't know.
That's my rational fear.
I think I'm the opposite.
I'd rather die in a bathroom than somebody see me taking a deuce.
And it's happened, bro. I've taken it. I've taken one and somebody's walked in and I'm telling you,
my pants were just on. It was just so like, oh, last thing I thought was going to happen type.
I was taking an at home deuce in public and somebody walked in. And it was like, oh, wow, bro.
You know my whole life.
You know my whole life.
You know my whole life.
Hey, what's up?
And then you got to see the person after.
It was somebody that worked there that I know.
I was like, dude, you know how I do it?
And he's like, sorry about that, dude.
I'm like, bro, there's's no sorry you're just my brother
now like you're just i might as well just give you all my passwords here's here's everything
we have to kiss you see me taking a deuce we got a kiss sorry you're we're in love we have to be it's the only way it's the only way i can go on just full taking a deuce crazy said taking a deuce so many times hey how about when you
accidentally lock your dog or cat in the bathroom for like four days and you're like oh my god
they're in there okay now four days that's a little much i meant six but you know what i mean
it's been like seven hours you're on the couch doing absolutely nothing
doesn't even cross your mind and then you hear a bark that sounds like it's from the house next
to you and you're like oh it's been like oh my god in my closet and then you let them out and you act
like and they just they like rush out kind of but you're like hey uh you're trying to act like you
didn't do it like you didn't do it like i'm good right we're friends still right okay we're friends
good they like miss you you're like wow you have no idea i almost just killed you sorry i think my dog was in my mom's closet for two days one time
completely forgot didn't make a noise he didn't make it okay
open up the closet on some i don't even know i i wasn't even looking for him and i opened up the closet on some, I don't even know. I wasn't even looking for him.
And I opened up the closet,
just came right out.
I was like,
Oh,
POV locked your dog in your mom's closet for four hours and had zero idea.
Hey buddy.
Oh my gosh.
I miss you.
You almost died.
Yeah.
There's been a couple of situations where I can't open a door or something's weird and I can't.
I'm like, ah!
Dude, it's so, so chaotic in my brain.
Like, I'm locked in forever!
And then you press the door the other way and you're like, oh, okay.
There we go.
We're good.
Sorry.
Yeah, I know how to work that door.
We're good.
Sorry.
Yeah, I know how to work that door.
The amount of times I've crawled under a fitting room at the mall because I didn't want to ask somebody like, hey, can I check?
Like when I was like younger, I didn't want to.
I just didn't want to talk to anybody.
When I was a kid, I didn't want to talk to.
I don't want to now either.
But it's like.
It's easier when you're a kid.
Like you don't want to tell the person at
old navy that you have three things to try on or whatever so i just walk in there slide under the
fitting room i'm like i'm not stealing like come on dude i just don't want to talk to you
three items here's your big number three put that on your door honey
i'm like
okay embarrassing one
the fact that I even
want three things from here kind of embarrassing
don't know what size
I am
so I'm just gonna bypass this whole thing slide under
the door and I'm just gonna get this done without either
of us knowing either of us caring
you don't have to keep tabs on me bro trying on jeans has to be
the most exhausting thing is it the girliest thing i've ever said probably not at all when
you have to get a new pair of jeans it's like go to every store try on four pairs maybe dude when i when i get a new
pair of jeans i think i try on 32 pairs of jeans there is nothing i'm like this is a pilates class
just taking them off taking them off you gotta take a picture do these look am i insane you
can't send it to somebody because the mall for some reason the mall has zero service
I'm like this is the place where I need to send pictures never can I never have I ever
sent a picture in the mall why is it forbidden territory so exhausting trying hey have you ever gotten the the right size and fit in style of jeans
on the internet he can all dude kill me 32 32 i know it my last jeans were 32 32 i'm gonna get
them from the same store i'm'm going to get the same size,
same style, same everything. Jeans come in. I try them on. Don't fit. Why?
Oh, my jeans thought I was in sixth grade. Cool. Tiny jeans. Why? Same same exact size what's happening
yeah that irrational fear that of you being stuck somewhere it's from that one man i saw it on i
saw it on like fx when i was like i was just flipping through the channels when i was like
10 i forget what movie it is maybe Maybe it's Final Destination or something.
But this girl gets in the tanning bed
and somebody zip ties it.
Oh!
I wouldn't mind it.
How'd he die?
Doing what he loved.
You're in your casket.
Just so bronze.
Wow, dude
looks good. Are you sure he's dead?
Bro looks tan and kind of hot.
Is he dead?
Can we kiss him?
Hey, Benedict.
This is my first time recording
for the podcast. I love you.
Irrational fear.
So my irrational fear is if I step foot in a porta potty at the fair or an amusement park,
that somebody's going to tip it over and I'm going to be covered in all the stuff that comes out of the porta potty.
I think it started because I saw like that episode of Jackass whenever I was in middle school and I'm just scarred for life.
So that would have to be mine.
How has that not happened?
Dude, the experience of going in a porta potty.
Have you ever, like, I think I went in the worst one of all.
Like, what are people doing in there?
I went to, what, Rolling Loud?
At wherever the hell the Rams and Raider.
There's 50 teams that play there.
Guys sound like a girl.
I don't know the name of the stadium here.
Lo-Fi.
Hi-Fi.
Wi-Fi.
Went there.
Went to a port.
There's a porta potty in the parking lot.
I'm like, I'm going to pee before I drive home because I don't want to scream the whole way home and complain the whole time at every light that i had to pee so bad bro i couldn't even
pee in the bathroom couldn't do it the whole thing who's cleaning that what are people doing in there
toilet paper all over the ground ball all inside the toilet just just like what the what happened
wow how do they clean porta potties next person i'm having on the podcast is a guy that cleans
porta potties and i just want to be like dude tell me everything what do you do you take them
apart power wash them do you burn them and rebuild them? What is happening in there?
Are people just, dude, there's poop on the ground.
Said poop.
I'm going to kill myself.
There's toilet.
Just everything is so soaking wet.
I'm like, who?
I couldn't pee in it.
Like the, the, it was filled to the brim.
And I'm like, do I just pee in the parking?
Am I going to get arrested if I have to?
I went to a festival and it had like one of those VIP bathrooms.
You ever do that?
Now, those I can get down with.
They're like not porta potties.
They're like an RV version of porta potties.
I'm like, oh, you guys have like mouthwash.
Like, what are you guys offering?
Do you guys have Chick-fil-A nuggets in here?
I promise they probably would there's probably a guy that would like
how's there not a vendor it's like the nicest bathroom i've ever been in my life i'm like
what's rent feel you though girl i like to face my rational fears both of them but i'm still
fearful of them i have two of them my first one is choking off of a mozzarella stick yes yes i'll still eat
the living shit out of them but i still fear i might choke and die off of one one day my second
irrational fear again we still have to shower every day is falling in the shower and having to be found naked in an awkward position
because i hurt my back or i've died or something weird those are my rational things i love you
clean that's actually a rational fear for me not choking on a mozzarella stick
i'm gonna jinx myself and probably die in
like the next two days but i've never really choked on anything like for some reason i can
always figure it out my throat's like my rational fear is that i'm going to die eating like too much in the car.
I've done that so many times and I'm like, yo, God, I'm so close to dying.
I swear.
It's just all in my throat.
Like, I want to see the x-ray.
Like if I, because I eat in my car, like it's just the normalest, most normal thing to do.
Where did I?
Maybe a sub.
You know what it is?
It gets me every time.
I used to be just down in those wraps from Subway.
I don't think they have wraps anymore at Subway.
Tomato basil wrap, OG wrap.
And I'd be like, put rotisserie chicken in there obviously
lettuce tomato tiny bit of honey mustard and i would just pop bro i'd eat in three seconds in
my car and i'd every single time i wouldn't get a drink so i'd be like whatever i don't need a
drink who's buying drinks drink you need a drink i've never ever been like hey do you want to do you want to add a drink to
your order what no i'll drink out of the faucet at my house when i get there that's why he's almost
gonna die but i'll be on my way home just with a whole entire footlong wrap in my throat and i'm like could pass out at any second
no liquids around i'm like you know worse comes to worse like i've thought about this a lot of
times i'm like i'll stop run into the 7-eleven and then put my face under like the diet dr pepper
thing and i'll just pay for a dr, get back in my car and go home.
But a mozzarella stick?
Is it because like the cheese goes down your throat a little bit?
I don't know.
I feel like I'd just be able to figure that out.
I think my hangy ball is like a... My hangy ball is on the next level.
I think I have a pro hangy ball. My hangy ball is like a my hangy balls on a next level. I think I have a pro hangy ball.
My hangy ball is like a sticky hand.
Something goes down there and it's not agreeing with my throat.
My hangy balls like a Spider-Man.
Hangy ball.
My irrational fear is always thinking that I'm going to be walking into the wrong
locker room or bathroom when in public.
So regardless of however many times I've gone to a certain locker room or
bathroom to change,
I always have to check if it's the men's or women's bathroom.
Dude,
I will check 40 you know when
you check something a bunch of times like you checked if the oven oven was off checked if the
oven was off leave my house get in my car drive somewhere and i'm like did it was that yesterday
when i checked that yeah is anybody else like i'm like i don't know if that was today or not
i'll do that with the men's bathroom usually at an airport i'll go in the men's
bathroom go in the stall and when i'm in the stall i'm like this is the women's bathroom for sure
like i have no doubt in my mind this is like you ever like have a sneaky suspicion
dude i did a whole i was at a hotel I did a whole photo shoot in this bathroom.
Is that a cool mirror? It was like 2 a.m. I was in like New York. I was like, I'm just going to
take some. I don't know what I'm going to do with this. I was in there for like 13 minutes.
And then I was like, man, there's a ton of stalls in here. This is insane. They must have like
converted this from like the storage closet to like the bathroom and just put a bunch of stalls in here and then i was like oh my god this is the women's bathroom
just zero like
i walk out it has a big w on the wall i'm like what was i doing
you ever walk into the women's bathroom and you're just like sorry like I
never I'm just like yeah I've done that LA fitness probably 15 times because at every LA fitness
there's women's bathroom and then a men's bathroom and then like you go to the one across the town
it's like a men's bathroom and they're in a different order same hallway different order
and so if I go to one LA fitness for like three weeks, I'm like, okay, the men's bathroom is the first one.
And I just do it.
Then I go to a different LA Fitness and I just think it's like the last one right into the women.
Just strolling in.
So easily could do that.
so easily could do that okay my irrational fear is that whenever i'm wearing flip-flops in a car and i'm the passenger i'm always afraid that we're going to get into a car accident
and the metal of the car is going to like slice my toes off i don't know why i think it's just
my bare toes with the flip-flops like Like the fact that my toesies are out.
I'm just always afraid that they're going to get sliced off with cold metal.
Toesie.
How has my pinky toe not been chopped off of my foot 17 times by now?
Dude, I always, every time I'm in the car, I say, dude, it's so annoying.
It's the most annoying thing I do besides this podcast.
My foot is always on like the dash. It's. It's the most annoying thing I do besides this podcast. My foot is always on
the dash.
It's got to be the most disrespectful thing I do.
But I'm like, if we get in a wreck,
is my knee going through my face?
Like, if we get in a wreck like that,
I'm done for, bro.
Both feet on the dash, both
knees into my skull
i'm sorry but is it is it the funniest thing when people get ejected through their windshield
and stay alive you ever see that on tiktok look that up on tiktok
some guy went through his
windshield got up and just walked away so i have two um one is a more common one so it's
uh a metaphobia i think is how you pronounce it the fear fear of throw up. Um, but mine is like extreme to the
point where back in the day when I was in like middle school, um, there was a girl who on
Halloween, uh, threw up in the water fountain and it traumatized me. And for weeks on end,
I woke up every morning convinced I was sick and was going to throw up.
And my dad let me stay home a couple of times.
But then obviously after a while, I was like, no, get your shit together.
You're going to school.
You're not sick.
Because after I knew I was safe at home, not around to throw up, I was like, oh, like, I'll be fine.
And I felt fine.
So my dad just thought I was faking it.
But it was like extreme, like, anxiety surrounding this girl puking in the fucking water fountain.
So that's one of them.
But it's like bad to the point that I can't even go on like upside down roller coasters because I saw somebody throw up one time.
Oh, on the thing?
If anybody around me is sick, I can't be around them.
I think they're disgusting.
If I see somebody throw up, I have a completely
different point of view on them. So yeah, it's bad. But no, my other one is also, I guess,
probably common. But when I'm sleeping in bed, even though I am a 33-year-old woman,
I can't have any extremities outside of a blanket. So true. Even if it's hot as shit in my house, I cannot have a toe, a finger, nothing besides my face.
I even cover my ears.
If I have a leg dangling out of the blanket, I think that a monster or a goblin or a ghost or something is going to grab me.
And I just think of all the scary movies that I've ever seen.
is going to grab me um and i just think of like all the scary movies that i've ever seen and yeah so i literally wrap myself up like a damn cocoon even if it's like 90 degrees in my
house i can't even do the leg out thing anymore i can't because it could because of that one
scary story bro you know what scary story i'm talking about When the dude would put his hand under his bed and his dog would lick his
fingers like twice, like night after night, homie would put his hand down there. He'd be going to
sleep before he went to bed, put his hand under the bed. Dog would lick his hand. He'd be like,
all right, cool. We're good. Time to go to sleep. Boom, boom, boom. Clockwork every night.
Then one night he did it, did it. The dog licked his hand twice.
He's like, you know what?
I got to go to the bathroom.
The dog was dead in the bathtub.
Looked under his bed.
There was a guy.
Ah!
That was the scariest campfire story.
That's another good one.
What's your campfire story you tell?
Good espresso question.
What's your campfire story you tell?
Like I'm not on the air right now.
Dude, that's so funny.
You get a different opinion of people after you see them throw up.
It's so true.
You've never been uglier.
I want to see you throw up ugly.
Dude, because your mouth, dude, I swear to God, my mouth unhinges when I throw.
I'm like, my mouth has never been this open before when I'm throwing up.
I'm like.
Like in the mummy, that like... Like in the mummy.
That dude's face in the mummy.
My mouth... Dude, I could eat a whole
football like long ways
when I throw up.
That's how big my mouth is.
You've never been uglier than when
you're throwing up.
Best compliment I've ever gotten.
One time I threw up there.
I was in a car with two girls.
God damn it.
I've always been in a car with two girls when I'm throwing up.
It's because when I get in a car, I'm like, yo, I might throw up in a car without even like drinking, eating something gross.
I being like, I will just throw up in a car.
I don't know what it is.
In Teslas, a study came out that like people get so sick in Teslas
because like there's a braking system that just makes you sick, dude.
And I always was like, why do I, every time I take an Uber in LA,
why do I feel like I'm going to throw up?
I'm like, is it they're driving dude it's because of the teslas it's always 7 000 degrees in a tesla I'm like
does the driver not feel this and I feel like I'm on like a like a spinny like carnival ride I'm like
I threw up in a car with two girls in there.
That was kind of like cute.
Girls definition of cute.
Can we just figure that one out?
What is your girls?
What's cute?
I throw up in a car that like sounded cute.
A napkin.
That's like cute.
A box of peaches.
That's like the cutest thing i'm like what is your cute
let's keep going a couple more so i live in missouri and we have the Lake of the Ozarks not too far from us. So we go there often.
And I am 100% convinced that there is alligators in this nasty lake that we have.
It's super murky, a lot of algae.
It's one of the biggest man-made lakes there is and i'm convinced that
there are alligators in there um i'm also convinced that at any time um in my house
um it's a two-story house that the first floor is going to fall through and um oh and it's just going to completely collapse on us.
And then three is I am terribly fearful that you will never come back to Kansas City and perform at the improv KC, which is now actually called the Funny Bone.
So those are my irrational fears.
I love you so much.
I remember your voice.
She's OG fam.
I will come back.
Kansas City sucks.
I love just a city.
Dude, I love a city like Kansas.
Dude, I just love Kansas City.
It's just so perfect, man.
It's just those little cities that I'm like,
yeah, it's good. It it's so cute i'm coming back
trust me never comes back i'm kidding but uh
alligators i'm not scared of them anymore ever since i saw that tiktok of that guy hitting
alligators in the snout with a shovel and them being little bitches. I'm like,
dude, I don't think I'm scared
of alligators anymore.
Give me a shovel.
See ya.
Give me a shovel, bro. I'll take out
40 alligators. I just remembered
I had a dream about an alligator last night.
Is that a revenue? Throughout the day, you're like,
wow, I had a dream about that last night. You'll remember
17 hours later. Hate that, but I had a dream about that last night. You'll remember like 17 hours later.
Hate that.
But I had a dream about an alligator last night.
Holy shit.
Because I've been watching so many alligator TikToks.
Because I'm like, these bitches aren't scary.
Let's keep going.
That the leg press is going to come slamming down and cut my shins in half.
Oh, my God.
This is the one.
That is the one.
Irrational fear.
The little stopper things on the leg press aren't going to work.
How many people have died on a leg press?
Because every time I'm doing it, I'm like, yeah, this is it for me.
This thing is going to crush my little bitch ass.
Just.
How has it never happened?
Because there's like stoppers.
Like, so if you don't stop it, it stops it.
No.
And now I always check.
I'm like, could I die on this?
Yep, I could die.
How is it not just slipped once?
There should be a lot more weightlifting injuries,
honestly,
but that is it.
I think about it every time.
Yep.
Could die.
Does four sets.
Does calves too.
Okay.
I'll die next week.
Okay.
So I don't know how irrational it is.
Cause I know,
I guess it has happened,
but I think it's pretty rare.
But every time I get my tires rotated or i get a new tire
or i get new tires on my car i just have this fear like i'm gonna get in the car
and i'm gonna start driving and one of the wheels are gonna fly off because the worker forgot to
tighten up the lug nuts i think about it every time and i just think like it's gonna just fly
off and i'm just gonna be careening off into a ditch with my rotors making 50,000 sparks as I go down and those go down in a blaze of glory.
That guy's going to change 17,000 tires in one day and not forget to screw one of them on.
How? I think it should happen every day. I think a tire should pop off of my car
every single time. Oh up the old lost my tire
tire tire barreling down the road
just spinning down the highway i would see it and be like whoa that's somebody's tire
this isn't really my rational fear but i think it's an irrational fear that we all grew up with.
Do you remember when our moms used to be terrified that we may get hungry
later?
Like we could never leave the house without like bringing food.
You're going to a doctor's office.
You got to take these crackers with you.
Make us hungry later.
Oh my God,
dude.
What if you get,
take this with you?
Cause if you don't eat now you might
even later you might get hungry that's so crazy we all have eating disorders and body dysmorphia
because of it because we like you just get hungry like that's fine my dad's like that oh take this
with you take this oh my god when you're a when you're leaving your aunt's house?
Is it just my family?
Leaving my grandparents' house.
Take my car.
Hey, we'll wrap the fence up.
You want the vacuum?
Dude, we would spend a whole week at my grandparents'
house. The last hour before we left,
we would get in a fight with my grandparents.
We don't want to take anything! We're good! Tupperware with a bunch of food. Who's eating that? Bro, try to leave,
try to leave my aunt's house. Try to leave my aunt's house. We're leaving at 4 PM.
All right. You'll be in the car at 6 30 PM. Dude, it's p.m. Dude, it's just unbelievable.
That's the next level.
Why?
No, I don't want to take.
Take the, you might be hungry on the way.
We'll stop.
You might be, you want to take the turkey?
Here, take this turkey.
Take the pie.
Take the rest of the pie.
Take our dining room table.
You want to eat the chandelier?
You want to eat the chandelier?
Take our dogs.
Cars? You need a car
you well if that car doesn't work at my home you might as well have another one take this car huh
and then they they end up talking you into staying another night i'm like
what what are you what is it what is this
just wait there's it's What is this?
Just wait.
It's a horror movie and you just never leave.
Oh, you live in your aunt's basement?
Yeah.
Ever since Thanksgiving two years ago, I just...
I couldn't do it.
I just got too sad.
It is so sad, though, when you're driving away from that house on Christmas.
You're like, so sad.
Why did we leave?
Do they think we're assholes because we didn't take anything?
Hey, Benny.
Yeah.
My irrational fear is falling off of a cliff.
Do I live by any cliffs?
No.
I'm from the suburbs of Long Island and I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania now.
So, I mean, there are some mountains. mountains i have a mountainous view from my deck but my ass isn't hiking or doing anything that requires me to be by a cliff but i'm scared to death that i'm gonna die that way if i'm watching
a show or a movie where someone falls off a cliff i'm'm like terrified. Like that's a horror movie to me.
Just people falling off cliffs.
Yeah.
Don't know why.
Could be because I have anxiety, but who knows?
Nah.
Love you.
Love you too.
Mean it.
I've almost fallen off a cliff before.
I was actually faking that I was going to fall off the cliff.
And I was like, whoa, I could have died.
One more step.
I was like running really fast, like on this like literal mountain in like Nevada.
Nevada?
I don't know why I said it like that.
And I was fake like I was going to jump off the side.
And I got so close.
But I kind of think I would have lived.
Is that weird?
Maybe that's my, what's your most delusional?
Another good question.
What's your most delusional, most delusional?
Most delusional thing you do?
I don't know.
I'll figure it out.
Dude, I think I can jump off of the balcony at like a sports arena
and just land just land on there on the court what's up hey i think i could do that with a
cliff too if i if i jump off of a cliff there's always like another level like a couple stories
down that you land on i'm like how are those goats doing that a goat will
just be posted on the side of a mountain for like four and a half years i'm like what what's my
rational fear shit probably monkey pox no i'm playing who the fuck even knows what that is
but i'll tell you what i really don't like though and i do get scared every time i'm driving on the
interstate and i'm next to a fucking semi that's got those like big ass spikes on their tires what the fuck
are those for why do we need those why do we need daggers sticking out of fucking semi wheels I feel
like they're gonna stick into my car and turn me into a washing machine I don't like that shit
but you know what a lot of people are afraid of and rightfully so but I just don't give a
fuck about?
Undercooked meat.
Bro, I swear to God I'll eat a raw steak.
I've never done it in my life, but I swear I will.
I'll cook chicken for like five minutes total.
And then I'll just—nothing happens.
I'm sorry, bro.
Either I'm just built different or it's a fucking—it's a scam, bro.
That's probably not true.
I don't recommend this.
I don't know if like legally I have to say that but yeah
fuck that shit I'll just raw dog some raw meat
bro I don't give a fuck
anyways
monkey fox
what's monkey
what is monkey fox
is that the new chicken pox did we update it
stayed home from school had monkey pox oh my gosh did you take a bath in a banana pudding
yeah those things on the side i don't know what that is on the sides of the semis i'm like is
that like your cool thing?
You know, when semi truck drivers get all like cocky
and they start like making their truck cool.
I'm like, remember, you're a
semi truck driver.
Don't put the
spears on your tires. Oh, I
get too close. Then what?
You kill me? Sorry. Sorry.
I was too close. Then what? You kill me. Sorry. Sorry. I was tweeting something.
You're right though,
bro.
I've never eaten anything under like I've probably eaten 50 million undercooked,
uh,
steaks,
chicken.
I've never gotten sick from that.
Chicken.
I've never gotten sick from that.
Blood rushing down my chin while I'm eating a steak.
This is good.
This is good.
I think we, I think our stomachs can handle a lot more than we think. Dude, when people get stomach aches, I'm like, shut up, dude.
I'm like, you better be like throwing up like like cockroaches and shit like 50 cockroaches.
My stomach just kind of hurts.
Shut up, bro.
You have a belly ache.
Oh.

Grandparents Day Sunday.
Ain't no way.
The number of dude, my grandparents had to be like are you okay i remember talking to my grandpa maybe for five hours about a power rangers video game and he had
he was just all in i was like two years later i was like can I say sorry for the story I told you?
Like, dude, I talk I talk to you for maybe five hours about how I was playing a Power Rangers video game.
And one of the Power Rangers, I figured out that it could kick something else.
He was probably like, bro, what are you on?
I don't care about the Power Rangers.
Grandparents are really the realest.
Because, you know, they're like at the end of their patience.
I remember we were inside my mom's car, getting ready to go into my grandma and grandpa's house. And she was like, remember when you talk to grandpa, speak up and do not say, huh?
I was like, is he going to literally kick my ass if I say I've never said, huh?
In my life.
Is he going to literally kick my ass if I say I've never said, huh, in my life?
Is he is he going to grab me by my ankles and throw me in the woods?
I'm so I was always so scared of my grandparents.
I don't know why.
One time I had that.
I did that thing.
Dude, this is like my biggest fear growing up.
Biggest rational fear.
What's your rational fear?
Maybe that's a good one.
How are you actually going to die?
What's your rational fear?
How are you actually going to die?
One time my grandpa was telling me to like wrap a hose around something and like water something just because i was like doing some like some like grandson i was just like i don't know
my mom was probably like help grandpa and i was like okay didn't need help at all i went out there
i was like i'm helping you and he's probably like why i don't know jesus christ i don't even know i
don't even really know you bro let's just
fucking do this thing bro and he told me to wrap a hose around the tree and i did not know what he
was saying i was like what is this guy saying and i was like what and he was like he said it again
and i was like man damn let's do i have no clue what he's what he's talking about. And I was so scared on the third one. I was like,
what'd you say?
And he explained it again.
I was like,
man,
I don't know.
I just like,
I go,
I don't know.
I just don't know.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know if I heard you right.
There's a lot of like birds and shit.
Like,
I don't know.
I kind of just want to, I kind of just want to go. I don't know. I do. You hate me. Did that's how I'm going to die.
I promise the amount of times that happened to me when I was a kid. That's when people say what
to me, like more than twice. I'm like, come here. I love you so much. Just come here. Just,
just give me a hug here. Here's your ear. I'm just going to tell you again. And if you don't
understand, come here. I will. I'll repeat it's your ear. I'm just going to tell you again. And if you don't understand, come here.
I'll repeat it in a different way.
Because there was so many times when I was a kid
that I was like, what the...
What are you saying?
And yo, even if I can't hear you,
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm 10!
I'm 10!
It happens. Dude, I was like, that's why I like kind of shy when i was a kid i was like yo
i don't want to get into one of those situations where i don't know what you're talking about again
because like bro it's so embarrassing i don't know oh sorry i've never like uh like it always
happened like when i was like at a basketball camp or something and then i could explain in
all this shit and i was like dude i don't i don't even
know what that is like i've played basketball for one year i don't know what that is and then they
act like you're stupid i'm like damn i don't really want to go to this camp anymore bro i feel
like an idiot oh you don't know everything about the game no i'm nine dude that's like half the
reason i didn't't excel in sports.
Honestly.
I was like, how do you guys know that you can do that?
Oh, you guys just knew all of a sudden that you could do that on punt return?
What?
Bro, half the reason for everything is because I was like, okay.
I don't know.
How do you guys know that shit?
Again, did I miss the day? Was I sick on the day where everyone explained everything? How do you guys know so much? I don't know anything. I don't know anything!
And you guys know everything? How?
That's my whole life.
I don't know shit!
