Welcome back to the basement yard. It is Monday November 21st. I'm here with one of my friends
co-host
Your veterans minimum
It's it's nick. Yeah, he is here and uh, we were just laughing because right before we recorded this somehow some way
In our group chat with all of our friends. There's just I can't stop laughing
I know
Someone put a picture like an old picture of all of us in uh, we went to
courtland for I had this like
Appearance thing and it was just so weird. Hold on. It's it's better. It's better because um ladies and gentlemen
I was one half of a management team. Oh my god
On the early come up. Yeah everything the early come up. But that was the sanagallo tv days
Yeah, I didn't I didn't need a management team at all whatsoever, but
Uh, my two friends Eric and nick were like, yo, we'll be your managers and I was like, oh, yeah
Fucking who cares like what are they gonna do? Which all we did was send out emails. Yeah
Nothing like and when we got an email we'd be like, yo, joey's this cool
Exactly
It was so bad
But yeah, we got this gig in courtland. It was for their spring spring fling spring fling. They wanted me to come there and uh
Just like like a meet and greet like like I've had a booth and like with a table and shit like that
And we just made a fucking weekend out of it
So we're all wearing these sanagallo tv shirts that that we're like, yo, we could sell these there and make money
Right, and then it turns out that everything at spring fling is free. Yeah
So you just wasted like I don't know how much but you get made like a hundred t-shirts. Yeah, I still have them
Yeah, I mean
My my uncle like always asks me because like his kids like their friends know who I am and they want shirts
So I just give them out
But it's so like and looking back on it like this is why the whole reason why I bring it up because we're just talking
About the fact that like looking back on old pictures of yourself and just kind of jogging your memory on shit
You're like, what the fuck was I thinking?
You know, this was I want to say
2012
2013 around there because boss was still like Syracuse
We went up to visit him and our friend John was at courtland. So we stayed at his place. Where did we go first?
We went to Syracuse to pick up boss. So and it was Mayfest there at Syracuse. So we went there
We went to the castle court. That's what it's called
The outdoor. Oh, yeah, that was crazy. Yeah, that was nuts
And we just made a whole weekend out of it. So we went to boss's place
We got hammered there the next day we picked him. We got him in the car and we drove to courtland
Yeah, so we had to do the thing the meet-and-greet thing for you and then it was
Kendrick was there that night too, which is sick Kendrick and Steve Aoki. Yeah, I want to forget about Steve Aoki because that was terrible
It was so weird. It was so weird, man
But that was like before like obviously Kendrick was
I mean, he opened for Steve Aoki. Yeah, that was a while ago. Yeah, this was you know
His album had just dropped too and we were kind of big Kendrick fans. So that was pretty awesome
Yeah, I remember that but it was just like it's so weird like like I was saying like first of all the picture
I have a complete buzz cut like
Like a two all the way around like buzzed like no hair whatsoever
and I was mad skinny
And my shirt was mad tight and I was wearing this fucking. I don't even know what to call that belt
But the belt was weird. I remember the shorts
I had shorts and I packed them but they got fucked up. So I didn't have a pair of shorts
So I borrowed them from John who was the kid who lives at courtland. I was like, you know, I need a pair of shorts
So I borrowed shorts from him and it was it was just the weirdest thing, dude
It was so strange. Yeah old pictures. I mean for me are terrible because I was fat. Yeah, like fatter
That was bad, y'all rough times good times too though, but more rough. I looked sick like I was I was tiny
Yo, everybody looked weird. Everybody looked super. No one looks like any of that anymore
I remember the picture that that we have
Uh, like I said, that's what looks like his jaws wired shut and he's like smiling out of the corner of his mouth
I'm like the fuck is this kid doing that whole that you know that weekend was fucking awesome though
There's like this one street. Do you remember the name of the street?
That john lives on. Oh, it's where all the it's all like the frat and sorority houses down that whole that hill having you
Yeah, it was crazy. It was mayhem. It was literally like a movie. I was like, I didn't have shit like this existed
I didn't go to fucking college. So I didn't know and
We're like, yo, are you throwing a party tonight? He's like, no, we're gonna lay low turned out that they just randomly had a party
They had a nowhere to yeah, we're gonna lay low. There was people walking in and out like no one
That was another thing. I was like, yo, how do you just have people just walk in and out your crib with
Yeah, without them like doors wide open just yeah
Literally like just people everywhere. There was 20 people on like the roof. Oh, yeah
They had like a roof like right above
In between the first floor and second floor. There's like a whatever you want to get on in kind of people just sitting on it
John was like caving in he's like, yeah, john and his roommates are like, yeah, we just hang out here sometimes
So yeah, just drink the beers and throw them onto the lawn. He's like, so don't pick them up. I was like, what the fuck is this?
Oh, that was like the homeless people used to come by and oh, yeah
They said they used to throw the cans out and they would come and they would always thank them like, oh, thank you so much
Yo, how many cans though all those houses they'd make a killing
Jesus the house that we were at had at least I want to say 200
Yeah, at least and there was like a lot of houses. So they probably made a kill in there
That was a really fun weekend though, but it's just always funny looking back
I remember looking back on like middle school pictures where I was like
I thought it was a thug and I would wear baggy ass clothes like big ass shirts
I know you have some jerseys. Oh my god
Yo, so I would buy I would buy NFL jerseys like the authentic ones 250 300 dollars a pop when you were when you were like
I was I was 13 14 years old
five three
I was
And I would buy size 54 jerseys, which is a 3xl
Yeah, I still have them now, but I can't wear them because like my my dad is about six one
260 has a you know
Beer belly and shit. He can't even wear them. They're massive on him. So they're just a waste and now I look back on him
I'm like, yo, it's terrible the baggy pants were bad too
Yeah, I had jean like first of all for like the first half of my life. I just refused to wear jeans
I wear sweatpants everywhere. What every day in school was sweatpants. I started wearing jeans like in like seventh grade
It's where I got that's that's the true thing. I refuse to wear them
But the jeans that I would wear
Were just fucking ridiculous. My dad used to say I could jump off a building. I would land safely
Because they just act like a parachute and just you know, he's like you look ridiculous. I remember one time I got y'all
Oh my god, I got a
You remember all right, so the sideburns, right? So I used to get a buzz cut and the sideburns like usually they're like a box
Oh, yeah, but back in the day it was like you get the the points they get it for a point, right?
My dad specifically told me to not get that and one time I went and I got him
And dude, I swear to god I was walking home from the barber shop. I got to my corner
I'm like the second house off the corner
and
It's it's so pretty far away from the door for a guy who's blind as hell by the way and he was
I heard the door open. What the fuck is that?
What did I say? I was like, I got him going to the park then I was like forget it
I didn't even go home. I turned around went back to the park. I'm like, yo, I'm not going in
Yeah, he was so pissed your dad being pissed. He was so mad, dude
So and I also one time I asked him for a pair of Jordans because like I
I was never into sneak. I'm still not like really into sneakers or anything like that
But I wanted a pair of Jordans so bad because I knew it would make me like, oh, yo, those are sick. You're cool
this was seventh grade and
I asked him for I got the 14s. They were like red and red and white
and he buys them for me and at the time they were like 150 bucks like whatever and
So I wear them to school
Right and I was on a basketball team that he was coaching and we had a game like that weekend and I didn't wear them
And he was like, why aren't you wearing your sneakers? And I was like, you don't understand. Yeah, I was like, you can't crease them
I was like, I don't want to mess them up. He goes
I'm gonna go home and throw those things in the fucking garbage because if you're not gonna wear where you're playing basketball
Why don't you buy why buy you basketball sneakers? I was like, dad, you don't understand me
You're so pissed I used to wear for my Air Force ones my favorite sneaker of all time Nike Air Force ones
I would wear I would put paper towels on the top of my toes. So I wouldn't crease my sneakers
Because someone had someone had told me that if you crease your sneakers, you shouldn't wear them
Yeah, and you're like, y'all I'm not doing it and it was one of like the older kids that were cool
And I was like, y'all I can't crease my sneakers. So every day my toes would hurt when I was looking around
I used to make sure that I wouldn't
People would be walking like ducks and shit. They would not step like a like a human should step. They would just waddle
Just kind of like speaking of sneakers Dominic bought the G units one time the YG units
And he was wearing them and you know how like at your desk your feet always like stick out and go past
So he used to be super anal about his sneakers
If
God forbid a drop of water came on he wouldn't wear them again
So he bought those and those were his favorite sneakers. Yo, it's eighth grade homeroom. I'll never forget this
I walk by I say hi to him and as I like dab him up. I scuff his sneaker
He sits up takes his shoes off puts him on the desk. He goes just fucking take them
I don't even want him anymore. I'm like, dude, what is wrong with you? They were fine, too
Like I stepped on them, but they were literally spotless
It's like, I don't even want them no more. He's like, y'all the one thing I ask you not to ever do
Dominic back then it was like, I'm surprised he didn't take him and throw him out the fucking window
Yo, he took him off the teacher was yelling at him. She's like down next to town. He's like miss. You don't understand
Just take him
Oh my god
Uh, anyway, this next thing. I don't know if you guys know is but david blaine
Uh, I mean, you know who david blaine is if you don't you're a fucking asshole
But he's like the most famous magician in the world right now
Uh, but he had like a special that he did. Did you see it?
I saw what he did with the frogs and the like it was like durant was there
Oh, yeah, and like dave chapelle and stuff curvy. Yeah, so basically this guy
He had a special that came out. I want to say it's called like
Beyond magic
Definitely wrong dark magic magic's always in the title. It was a blind magic. That might have been it. So, um
He the first thing he does
First of all, I'm just like obsessed with this shit. Like I really love it
But the first thing he does is like he goes to the beckham's house
He was at john javolta's house
And margo robbie who's married by the way stopped. They didn't know that. Good night. And I was furious
Yeah, a little off topic. Am I the only one that gets upset when I see like a super famous person?
I don't know. I just is in a relationship. Like I know I have no chance, but it's just it's just nice to know that
You know what they're out there. That's how I still a free agent. That's how I felt like margo robbie. I was like, uh,
Why didn't she tell me? Why didn't you do what's wrong? You did one text?
Let me know. I was like, I didn't know this one post holding hands, you know, just to give it away
Yeah, just some you know or just you know, I don't know but so he's at the house
so he goes to their house and he asks them for
the
Wedding ring so he takes a wedding ring and he's like you see this
You know what he does like weird shit. He's always like, yeah, you see this you show on every side of it
And he just swallows it. All right
and they're all like
What and these are celebrities. Yeah, so those rings are fucking like 50
100 million dollars. I was gonna say 50,000, but that's like way more than that
But there are there are a lot of money. So he swallows it and then all of a sudden he goes
The fuck he's so nonchalant with his words. I've never seen this guy open his eyes fully or smile in my entire life
His eyes were always half closed. Yeah. Yeah, and then he goes like this. He goes
Do you have a hanger in the house? I was like, there's no way this guy's about to fucking perform surgery on himself
He takes the hanger. So you know like the wire hangers, right?
The top part of it where it hooks. No, so there's the top part of where hooks, but you know, it's like they coil
So it's like lots into place. So he just takes
That and the bottom part and just stretches it out so that it's still coiled. So it's like still like
Enclosed if that's I'm trying to paint the paint. I get what I get what you mean
And it's like just long, you know, I mean so he takes that and fucking sword swallows it from the hook side first
No, no, no. Oh, from the bottom. Yeah from the bottom. So he he puts it down his throat. Mind you the entire time
he's
Like just and I'm on the verge of throwing up because I hate that fucking noise
And he actually like they go into it like afterwards
He like practice with a sword swallower and would swallow swords so that he could do this trick
Ridiculous Jesus fucking ridiculous, right? So he he does that and once he gets down
Once he gets it down there. He makes them take it out
And like everyone's like, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want to like pull it whatever the ex Johnny Depp
Go ahead pull it out. He goes. Oh, okay. He just pulls it like right away. He's like nowhere was ruthless
But yo, they pull it out the wedding ring is inside
The hanger do you understand what I'm saying? It's in between
Oh that that coil piece. Yeah. So the only way to get it out is if you uncoil the entire thing and then slide it out
It's like hanging in there
How the fuck
Did this guy do that? And he's like and you know, no reaction out of him. Oh, here's your ring
Here you go. And he just walks out of the house. Oh, he doesn't even walk. He just like kind of glides
It's like the weirdest fucking thing. Yo, the thing he did with the athletes and Dave Chappelle
He's just over there. They all have champagne and you know
conversation like hey, Dave, you know nice to see
Spits out a frog a live frog. Yeah, and it's swimming in there and then everyone's bugging out and then he did three
Yeah, and then he went to curry did the same thing to step curry. Yeah, it's like, all right
You know, there's some people that
You know, you can hide a frog in your mouth. Yeah, and he's going to people like, oh, do I have anything there?
Do I have any no no nothing there nothing there
Everyone's bugging out and then he spits out another one and then the frog is jumping out of the glass
Yeah, that was insane. Also. He they they said in the show that he
There was a magician that would turn his stomach into an aquarium
And they would just drink a lot of water and then swallow
animals like that and then somehow practice enough to be able to
regurgitate them
Yeah, but how do you pick like oh, you know what a frog's coming up now? Or do you think you'll he's just
I mean, it's just frogs. All right. Here comes a but you know, he did do to to uh, David Beckham
he says
think of think of an animal that you can hold in your hand
and
Most people when you ask them that they would say frog or something like that
I don't know. I guess he was just banking on him saying frog and then he just spit up a frog and David Beckham
was lost his fucking english mind
He was like hold on
This is crazy like the shit that he was it was it. You know, he's really out of his fucking mind that guy he
What was the other thing? Oh, he caught a bullet
in his fucking mouth, but like he puts a tin
Like can not can but like a tin something in his mouth with a mouth guard. Okay, and then
He pulled a string that fired a gun and shot a real bullet into this thing
So that he didn't die. It just hit the tin
I was like, are you fucking crazy, man?
Yo, what if you don't angle that correctly? You're dead. That's what headshot. Good night. Exactly. He had a light
Right that would point towards the center of the can and then he had people going. Yes. Yes. No. No
Oh, so you just trust other people too, huh? Exactly. Wow
Good for him. So he did it and the thing like I mean, I don't want to give it away people should go watch it
Blind magic someone magic. I don't know blind guys doing magic whatever it is
Yo, the the story you said about the dude in vegas that you saw was pretty
Oh my god, I went to vegas because I was shooting that I don't know if I've talked about this on a podcast before
But I went to vegas to shoot this thing with the rock and there was a magician there and I made him
Do tricks to me and I forgot what the first one was but the second one
I will never forget because I have evidence of it in my phone
So I he goes
What kind of wallet do you have? Is it tri-fold or two-fold? I was like, oh, it's two
And he's like, oh, you need to try here use my wallet. I was like, all right
So i'm holding his wallet in his wallet in his wallet. There's like, I don't know seven dollars and then
There's credit cards where the credit cards are. There's no driver's license though. There's just that empty space there
So he goes just hold it outwards. So all that stuff that I just named is facing not towards me
I just see the front of the wallet. So periodically throughout the entire trick, by the way, I kept
Checking the wallet
Like looking at it and he was like, don't do that, you know what I mean?
But I wanted to do it just because I wanted to kind of fucking fuck him up
Yeah, I'm one of those pieces of shit, right?
So I'm holding it out and he goes, give me your phone. So I give him my phone
He takes a picture of me with flash of me holding this wallet
I still can't see the front of it. So
Uh, then he has a bunch of cards and he goes pick one out
And I'm like, okay
So I pick one out and I show it to like everyone else whatever and I know the card
He goes put it back wherever you want. So I put it back wherever I want. He shuffles the deck
He makes me cut it. I cut the deck then he pulls out a card and he goes, is this your card?
I'm like, no, and he goes, all right. Is this your card? I'm like, no, and in my head. I'm like, got him
Stupid fuck
Stupid fucking loser
Uh, and then he goes, he goes, are you sure?
I'm like, yeah
And he goes, you may have forgotten because the flash on your phone is kind of like a man in black where they flash you
You just forget things and he goes check your phone
When I looked at my fucking phone
There's a picture on I still have it
There was a picture of me holding the wallet and in where the driver's license was was the fucking card that I picked out
Yo, I was like, oh
My god
Yo, this guy I was I was fucking blown away and right after that the one like because I was there with like a team of people
Who are shooting and stuff
They're like, yeah, we're gonna set up shots and I was like, hold the fuck on
Are we just gonna forget what this guy just did? No, I was blown away
How the fuck did he do that?
Yo, it's incredible man. I I randomly look up, you know random shit on youtube
Yeah, and I hit a phase for a week where I was watching
Just magic tricks was the x-factor. No, not x-factor. America's got talent. Oh, yeah
One of those shows and it was all the magicians and I think
If there's been 10 winners eight of them have been magicians because it's insane
Yo, this one guy takes Heidi Klum's phone
and just like
He just makes it disappear in front of her right and out of nowhere
He starts making them all the whole panel pick out of numbers and shitting. He's combining them and all that
Anyway, long story short
He starts calling the phone from the other the other
Co-judges and then it starts ringing in a seat and section and row
In the stands
Underneath like some random fan. So he goes in there. He starts cutting up the seat takes out the cushion
And he's like, oh, is this your phone and it's her phone
And he gives her back the phone
He gives he gives her the phone and she's looking and it's all her stuff. Yo, they were blown away
What the fuck and then Nick Cannon was like, yeah, I think I think my man won
Like that was it. That's all he needed to do. Yo, it's insane
There was another thing that David Blaine did in the show where he he had people's phones
And he was like pretending to do a shitty trick
So he's like, give me your phone and they they'd go into their pocket take out the phone
And he's holding it like right in front of them
And he would just do a thing where he quickly goes like that and they were standing on the side of a boat
and then
He does it quick enough to where like you can you it would be a good trick if you were like an amateur or whatever
Where he throws it over your head and he and it looks like it disappears
But you could hear it hit the water. He threw it overboard right behind their heads and they turn around. They're like, oh
what
the fuck
so and then he goes
Uh, and then he goes, um, they let them react and like being like and some dude was like, yo
I just got that shit like a week ago like he's bad
And then he goes, uh, check your friend's bag. The bag was like 10 feet away. He went in the bag the phone
His phone was in there
Mind you the guy took it out of his pocket and he held it in front of
David but they were holding it like this and then he didn't get his phone back
Who the guy like no, he did he took it out of the fucking bag
Yeah, but i'm saying like he didn't physically give it back to him though because oh, no
Yeah, he threw it over his head dude. I was like, what the f I was trying yo and then I was watching it with keith
And keith the whole time she's going it's a sleight of hand. I'm like, obviously obviously he's not a fucking
He's not superman and shit
It's fucking amazing though. You saying it's a sleight of hand is like the easiest compliment. I'm gonna explain the sleight
Of hand. I was yeah, we got into an argument over magic
It's fucking nuts. Yeah, it's it's amazing stuff, man. There's some shit that they do it just
Mind blown. I wish I could I knew a guy who could do a magic trick
That's the whole story
One of my one of my grandma's friends is like this old dude
Actually saw him when I went to go vote didn't recognize me. I didn't know if I should say hello. It's been some years
It's one of those awkward moments. Anyway
He I forgot what he did. I'm not you know what let's just
I guess I don't remember the trick at all. Anyway before we get to our, you know, main thing here big chunk

Anyway
Thanksgiving is this thursday
Oh, yeah, and you listen before you know before we talk about Thanksgiving and shit. I just want to say that
This kid nick for some reason believes that Thanksgiving is the best holiday
Out of all the holidays, which is so stupid. No, it is not and I'm gonna tell you why I don't
And you you never pay attention to me when I speak. Oh, yeah
Yeah, no, but yo, I I know your team christmas
And I agree with 1,000. I agree with you. The christmas season is the best one
The actual day of Thanksgiving is the best day of the year
No argument. You got food
You got family. It's best day of the year or it's the best holiday. It's the best
Holiday. Okay a day day. Okay. I got you got your family there. You don't need to buy gifts
So you're saving money there. That's kind of dope. All right
Uh a shit load of beers
Football's on. Yep. All right. Now they do three games
A year on Thanksgiving, which is dope. Yeah, all right
This year in particular, we're gonna have some good games on which is nice, you know
Detroit's not one in nine again. Right. So anyway, um
Got everybody together, you know, it's nice
I think the best part is that you don't got to buy gifts for anybody. So you're saving a shit load of money
This guy and yo the food's awesome. That's true
I mean, I get I get what you're saying because when we originally had this conversation
All hell broke loose because you didn't
Yeah, because I'm so christmas is not even funny like my my dog just got the worst fucking haircut of his entire life
Like I you guys won't see him because I won't post pictures of him. Yeah, so we're on xbox
Playing xbox before you get to that. Can I just say so I he had a bunch of his fur was matting
Right, which means that it basically it's knots and he had them on his face or whatever
And I walked into this place and ladies like oh, we're gonna have to go short and I was like
Right and it's happened before where he's had some certain whatever put it
Yo, I'm telling you the haircut is really bad. I still haven't seen them. It's don't you're not gonna
I haven't put I won't post pictures of him or anything for another two months probably
You guys will not see him because it's really they shaved him down
Like, you know how charlie looks he looks like a fucking toy
Now he looks like a poodle drives me insane. Yo, so we're playing fifa and joey just goes
Ah, damn bud. You look fucking ugly
I'm like, oh, you look so stupid. He's like, oh, he looks so stupid
Just like yo, stop talking to your dog like that. He doesn't know what's going on
He doesn't know but I uh that I remember. Oh god when I got him
I it was funny to me
and then when I just
Oh god when he was just
Walking around my room. I'm like, who's dog is that? That's not my give them back train back
Like I was my mom's like, did you did you talk to her to the groomer? I was like, what am I gonna?
Was she gonna glue the hair back on?
Yo, look I've taken them to groomers to my dog
I have a I have a little yorkie and they do what they want to to the dogs too like they
You tell them but at the end of the day, it's kind of like, uh, you know what?
I saw this I didn't like it. So I just
Saved everything. Yeah
My mom's like, we gotta start doing it ourselves. I'm like, don't say we because I'm not fucking doing anything
That sucks too. Yeah, I'm not doing that. But I I mean I learned like I I mean
It was it was both of our faults. I I think that the groomer
Kind of just went a little heavy on the on the fucking
Shears
It looks like it looks like you remember when you went to the farm when you were younger
Like a school trip and they'd be shearing a sheep on stage
Which by the way is the most like traumatic thing ever just fucking anyway, but
I think it was both our faults because I do need to to brush him more
He has like rastafarian hair. It grows like straight up and like like seaweed. It's so weird
So I gotta I gotta brush him but he looks dumb. Why the fuck did I start talking about my dog?
You're gonna bring up christmas
Oh, because yeah, so I love christmas so much that like he got shaved so and it's freezing
So my mom's like you gotta go get him a sweater. So I bought him this sweater
That's just santa's face and there's like a thing and then I bought him a toy and I bought a new bed
I spent $230 at petco because I had to buy I had to buy him food and once I'm there
And I walked in the christmas stuff was there. I'm like all down and you know, it's crazy. I was never like this
I used to be a big advocate for stores like calming the fuck down
like as soon as
A fucking christ uh, thanksgiving hits
They're already shoving santa's dick in your face and you're like dude
Relax, give me a second to digest my food from thanksgiving. That's when my mom
Black friday. She always that's when she puts up the tree every time she just goes crazy. She spends all day
I don't know how she does it. She wakes up in the morning goes to like the outlets like 4 a.m
Comes back puts with a tree decorates the whole house
Like god bless you. That's just in women or or mothers because my mom does the same thing like I'll come home one day
And it'll just be fucking yeah, winter wonderland in there
I don't know wow and I want to do that here because I you know, I don't know
I don't know what it is, but I fucking love it
Especially this year is the first year that I can really go crazy with gifts
Like I've never had a lot of money where I'm like I could just
spend a bunch on people and and just you know, it won't
I won't be fucking broke for the next four months. So I'm just like, oh, okay. I always started buying shit
I bought gifts for all my family members
It's sick. It's Simon. Thanks. Do I make a compelling argument for Thanksgiving day Thanksgiving day. I'll say is is cool
Um, I mean it really it really depends. It really gotta hit the gym the day after. Yeah
over there stuffing and
gravy and beers and
I could go on and on dude. I I remember one Thanksgiving. I was like eight years old and
my
Like I wanted to help my mom. I was like, oh, let me help and she'd be like, oh, yeah
Get me a fork. I get her a fork and I feel like I did something, you know, like, oh, I helped cook
I fucking stirred the the mashed potatoes
Uh, so she was like, can you bring the turkey to the table? I was like, yeah
So they're out of the kitchen and I grab this thing which I was eight
So the turkey weight as much as I do. I have a big family the turkey weighs as much as I do as much as I do
So I take it. It's a juicy turkey, right?
So as I turn the juices acted as lubricant and this turkey was like
Fucking right off the plate onto the floor
right right side up though didn't mess anything up the, uh
presentation of it and I was like, oh
Fuck and like no one saw me and I put it back on the the plate and I picked it up and turned around my cousin was standing it
Right there looking at me and she was like nine at the time and I was like, don't you fucking say
Fucking say anything and I just put it on the table and we ate a dirty turkey for dirty turkey
Aided dirty turkey for Thanksgiving back in the day. That was my uh, my Thanksgiving moment
I remember another time
That for whatever reason this is I don't know why I remember this but it was Thanksgiving and I was too short
I don't know how old I was but somehow this has seared into my memory
I was too short to even see
the table
So on top of the table. Yeah, so I mean I could see but I couldn't see like well
Like I was probably the same height as the table and I saw a bowl of white stuff and I was like, oh ice cream
And I put two fingers in and then put it right in my mouth. It was sour cream. It fucking ruined sour cream for me
I haven't had it since
I thought it was ice cream and it was sour cream. I
I
Yeah, I've knifed for fucking refuse. Hate cream cheese. Hate sour cream
Anything on a bagel besides butter is fucking horseshit. Wow. Not cream cheese. No locks. Whatever the fuck that is salmon. Yeah
I don't know what that is. Ew. Yeah, I don't know. That's it
All the jewish people at my old job used to get locks on everything like oh pizza locks. I'm like relax you guys
Should get pepperoni
Oh my god, yo Thanksgiving man last Thanksgiving was dope
We had mad food
I had two thanksgivings because I went to sammy's
Families her dad's house and we had Thanksgiving there. I almost died though because I was eating it
And also I didn't say anything at the time, but I was eating it. I'm like, what the fuck is this?
There was a staple like a big fucking staple from from stapling the turkey
And I didn't put two and two together at the time because we don't staple like the turkeys that we buy are just like huge
So you can just stuff turkey and it's like fine. You don't have to like, you know, it's not gonna rip apart
Uh, so I wasn't like I didn't even put two and two together. I'm like
What the fuck is going on like this guy's doing construction over the over the fucking stove
I almost ate a fucking uh
A staple. Yeah, how'd you did you eat the same amount at both places?
Did you because you went there first so you have to go to your family? No, I was I think it was
I want to say it was two different days
Was it? Yeah, it was two different days. They her her dad did Thanksgiving
The day after
Thanksgiving the reason why I bring this up is last year
We went to a family friend's house first. Yeah, and then

Because my my parents like going to the houses at 9 a.m. And I'm like, oh stop
Let them wake up. Yeah, hold on. So we go there
We watch like the first football game there and then a half time at a second when we go to my grandma's house
And I look we went to the first house we went to was like they had a 30 foot table
And it was all buffet style this place was legit. It was like 50 people there
And the food was insane the ladies like she's a doctor and she so she had like a personal chef
Jesus it was incredible. So I go to my grandma's house and I've been known to be really honest at the dinner table
So what the fuck I I've been known to be honest at the dinner table like if my mom would be like

Amazing because I always hear stories about the you can't get lines crazy for a passport
So I went at like noon on a work day to just go

It was double-sided and I didn't fucking like look so I had to fill out all this shit
Let me get I had to call my dad. What hospital were you born at? You know, there's like dumb information to put on there
And then by the time I got back on the line, there was like five people in front of me
You would have thought the line was down the block because I was like
Furious that's why I refused to do black friday because there's the lines are insane
Dude the passport place and the dmv. Oh the dmv any time I go to the dmv. I

So he just took my stuff because I was buying he's like, yo, how much do you think this is? I was like 200 bucks
He's like, all right, I'll pay for it. Just give me it. Give me it when we get out the store
Yo, he goes to like the sock section, which is literally this like right at the cash register
He's over there and he just has his back to the register as he's looking at the socks and then just turns around and he cut
75 people
And we're just all over there like looking at him and then uh, you know, you know how fucking

He you know, that's the most craziest thing. I remember like, you know, like there's all these
crazy videos on the internet of people like, oh
Social experiment, but I was like, yo, it would be really crazy if someone did like a skipping the line at black friday video
I would watch that just to watch someone get their fucking ass whooped
Because you know, like I don't know about you, but me personally like I'm not the type of person
To like call someone out for something like that
Like I I don't know like I'm just not that guy because like to me. I'm like, ah, it's one person like whatever
If it's a whole line, I'm like, yo, fuck that, you know what I mean?
But one person skipping a line like it's not enough for me to be like outraged by yeah
I feel you on that someone after I went to the ranger game with Dylan recently and I was
I was like the fifth guy from going like into the bathroom
And you know how the lines get crazy during intermission or any halftime break
A guy just stepped in front of me and I really think unless he played it off
He might have but he was like talking to his wife
And then he just stepped on the line like he didn't realize because the line angled. He stepped in front of me. I didn't
Yeah, I'm not that. I'm not some people are like, ah, excuse me. The line's over there, sir
Yeah, like I'm like, dude, whatever. Who gives a fuck man. Good job. Good. Good. Good cut
Yo, you saved me the headache. So man cyber monday
Cyber monday if you don't know what cyber monday is it's basically every online store you could think of really has like
A bunch of sales. It's like black friday, but online and it's way better because you know, oh, I I want to get these sneakers
I know that I could look for the size. I don't need to go to the store and then oh, you know, we don't have
Pray to god. Yeah pray to god. They don't have it and if they don't have they don't have it, you know, but I've never not
I've never saw an item and it'd been sold out and I couldn't get on cyber money. That's never happened
I think people are I think they stock up more
because
I mean, I I mean, I don't really know, but I'm assuming online shopping
Is only getting more and more popular
So why wouldn't they stock up especially on that day where they have a bunch of sales? Oh, yeah

But you know, you know, like I have crazy 80s is crazy. I just jump around
But you know like supermarkets where they have those random things. Yeah, the little red boxing you would go and yeah
I used to always collect them. Yo, I would pull out like 20 at a time
One time I ripped one and it broke and the thing turned red. I was like get the fuck out of here, Keith
We ran out of the next aisle next aisle started pulling them out
But anyway, these people they pull out they get a bunch of coupons from like
Those things that people leave on on your gate and just whatever just all these coupons and they use all of them
Like they know how to use all of them. They go online to find them whatever and I remember seeing this guy
by
I think a thousand dollars worth of stuff and he paid like 200 dollars for
Like just coupon after coupon after coupon bang bang these people just they have to scan all of them and he could use all of them
It's legal. He saved like 800 dollars on his shit and it's just like stuff, you know, like 30 fucking
detergents like for no reason in his garage
Yeah, just the shit you don't need like 40 nail clippers like
because there was a sale and
He has in his garage. It looks like he's stocking up for the apocalypse. He like built this
