It goes it goes deep to the pit of my stomach whatever whatever the fact that we even disagree on this as well as things were like hey we like like if we didn't already know each other this as well as things where I'm like, hey, we, like, if we didn't already know each other this well, I feel like this would be a real point of contention, you know?

Maybe still on MySpace, maybe so on Black Planet. Did you know there's still people on Black Planet? Did you know Black Planet is still around? Yeah, Black Planet is still around, and it's, it's, uh, those people are stranded. Like, I hope they find each other. I mean, truly, but is Mihente still out here? Is Asian Avenue still out here? I had no idea.

Oh, you did not know that there was Mihente, which was the Latin X version of Black Planet, and there was also Asian Avenue. Wow. Which was... No, I did not know any of this. Because there was College Club first. College Club crawled. So MySpace could crawl.

Yeah, could still really quarrel just a little higher on the... Yeah, we did MySpace dirty. I saw a tweet the other day and was like, Tom was just teaching us how to code and we just abandoned. That man's enjoying his life. He's good though. He's sold. Now he just travels around the world takes pictures. You're not bothering anybody.

He's not out of being Zuckerberg, selling all the information. So. Yeah. But yeah, so today we are talking about. Oh yeah, one quick thing, sorry. Yeah, if you're looking to catch up with me, it's Josh Johnson comedy on everything. Now to get into the episode, today we're talking about chains versus grills. Which I'm currently wearing both. Yeah no no I appreciate you taking the theme on. I appreciate you really submerging yourself in the topic but I live my life. I'm on the side of of chains because I think grills just the trials just-cathed the the the the the the the the the the the the ch.. ch. ch. ch. the the ch. the the ch. the ch. ch-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-ch-ch-ch-c-c-ch-c-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-c-ch-ch-ch-c-ch-ch-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-cccccaneaneane todeeeananananananananananananeananeaseaseaseeaseeaseeaseeaseeaseyyanananananananeaseeaseeaseeaseeaseeaseease thggggneease the-chic, but... I live my life.

I'm on the side of chains because I think grills just, they don't do it for me. They don't make sense to me. I don't really enjoy them at all. I know that you... Do you have a chain? I had a chain. I've never seen you wear jewelry. I don't wear a chain. I've never seen you wear jewelry. I don't wear much jewelry, but I do enjoy a good chain.

I've never seen you wear a stitch of metal on your body. I've got real jewelry. I've got fake jewelry. You know what I mean? It's like all your rings can't be gold. Who am I? If I want to be a drug. I've been a drug dealer's girlfriend. You know what I mean? it's like all your rings can't be gold. Who am I? If I wanted to be a drug I've been a drug dealer's girlfriend. No, I like girlfriend. Listen, I didn't get anything out of it. Other than being very annoyed. So good D, but on the most part, he's an idiot. Um, but yes, let's see I, I see what you're doing. I'm wearing my grill. I see it. But the grill that I have, I didn't go to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the drug the drug the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I'm the drug. I the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I've the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I the drug. I'm the drug. I the the drug. I'm the the th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I grill. I see it. I'm but the grill that I have I didn't go to the gum. Yeah. What I did is basically it's like an outline along the bottom. Oh, yeah, I see it. And then there's diamonds in between wherever the I guess wherever like the space between, not a space between a tooth but like like, so basically it looks like, I almost like drapes for like a valence. So it's almost like an outline of like all my teeth underneath, like top six teeth, and then there's a diamond in between every tooth. And I was like, maybe I should have done it where it was a diamond in front of every tooth, but I was like I wanted to be like low key........ I'm like, I'm like, I wanted it, I wanted it, I wanted to be like, I wanted to be like, I wanted to be like, I wanted to be like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm, I'm, I'm, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, like, I'm, like, I'm, like, like, like, like, was diamonds all the way across. I'm like, I'm not that person. I'm with you and this thing, your grill does not bother me the way that you have you've

had it done. What this is I guess where I, where I get caught up with grills. Why I can chains are superior. All right? Okay. You can accentuate, you can express yourself just as much, if not more, with the bottom of a chain with the jewelry hanging down, as you can with a grill. A grill is one of those things where, let's say we're in a situation where, you go to the doctor. I actually saw Derek last night and was

talking to him about this exact date. Let's say you go to the doctor, all right, and your doctor, you got a cool doctor, you got you got a lay back doctor. Okay. And he happens to have on a chain. All right, my man is doing well in life. He's a doctor. He's got a chain. If I go to the doctor, if I go to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the the the to to the to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toeck. toeck. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theyaxxeaxeaxea. theaxxeaxea. tha. thea. well in life. He's a doctor. He's got a chain. If I go to the doctor, if I go to the person that took the Hippocratic Oath, and they have a grill in their mouth, right? I'm filing claims. I'm telling you right now, that's not going to be good medical care that you get with a grill all the way in the mouth. Just tops and bottoms. the tops. I. I the tops. I the tops. I the tops.

I'm telling you right now, that's not going to be good medical care that you get with a grill all the way in the mouth. Just talking about...

Topps and tops and bottoms. Or just bottoms. I don't, I don't know if there's even a distinction that needs to be made. Because for me, he'll be grabbing the popsicle stick, be like, go ah. I'm like, no, you go ah. What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what??? th. that? that? that? that, that, that, that, that, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops. tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, tops, t mouth right now? Honestly, I am not a fan. If it comes to a doctor, like a medical doctor, like someone who's out here with a DEA license, like someone who can prescribe all of the drugs, I don't want them wearing either.

I don't want to see a flashy-ass doctor. Drive your Porsche, do whatever. I don't want to see a flashy-ass doctor. Drive your Porsche, do whatever. I don't want to see a doctor with a pinkie ring. If I see a gynecologist with a pinky ring, I'm leaving the fucking, I'm done. I'm out. I'm out. A doctor with a monogram pinky ring?

No, I'm out. Chain, grill. If I see a doctor wearing flashy jewelry, coming to get me, I'm just, I'm gonna be concerned. It depends on the kind of doctor that it is. Because if you go to a dentist, well, if you go to a dentist and they have a grill in, this is just hilarious. Also, the last time I went to the dentist, this man, this man cleans the teeth or whatever. And, and he, th, th, th, and he, th, and he, th, th, th, and he, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they, I I's, I's, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, thr-a''''' is throooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. thi, thi, the, the last time I went to the dentist, this man cleans the teeth or whatever. And he says to me, oh, I'm concerned about your weight. And I said, excuse me? And he's like, yeah, I'm concerned about your weight.

I said, sir, you were out of your jurisdiction. And he was like, what? I said, you're out of your jurisdiction. Anything that's below my neck? And he was like, what? I said, you're out of your jurisdiction. Anything that's below my neck, you're out of your jurisdiction. And he goes, I'm a doctor and I said, you're a dentist. Geez. I'm glad he was done in your mouth when he was, he was, he's glad he was done in your mouth when he was he was glad he was done oh my god

what the fuck is wrong with you I'm like he was like what I was like your job is where the food starts not where it ends up that is none of your you are out of your jurisdiction did he give you any reasoning did he did he say anything he said because I'm a doctor I should be telling you to lose weight I said you're out of your jurisdiction. You have cross county lines. Have a doctor you're a dentist. A day or dentist? Fuck out of here. I love a lot of people that's gonna be mad but you know you've never had a dentist call you've had. I'm like bro you try to smash or what are you doing? What are you trying to. I'm like bro you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you try you you try you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you are you are you are you are you are you are you are you. I'm like bro- I'm like bro to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the to the to to the the try. I try. I try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm to to the to to to to to to to to to to to t bro, you try to smash or what? What are you doing? You trying to... I know I'm not too heavy for this chair to hydraulics works. So what the fuck are you trying to say, dog?

What do you want, baby? This is wild. But when it comes to grill, no. If I see a doctor with thea with the's his lane. No, no. It's gonna be wild. And I'm gonna be like, this is why I get to go to a doctor in Miami. But, I go to a dentist in Liberty City, outside of Miami, it's got a grill.

It's, where am I where this dentist has this grill? Like, if I'm in most places in Atlanta, and if his doctor has a grill, or Texas, or Texas, someone like Houston or some shit, Dennis has in a grill, okay. If I am in Iowa, and my dentist, if you're in Nantucket. If I'm in Nantucket, and you haven't a gr- I have questions and concerns, right? Also a very fun story about Jack Knight.

Last year when he was in towntown and we're filming Sam's show. Pause with Sam Jay on HBO. It's amazing. Me and Josh are both on it. I had on my Black Air Forces, which people have already decided as a problem. My Black Air Forces, my grill and my camo jacket. And I'm standing there just at the bar and I turned around, because Jack was trying to say them about my Air Forces. And I turn around to Jacko's way. You got in a grill, air forces and a camo jacket. Nicke, you can't be trusted.

What's going on right now? And I was like, I was like, I hear you, but also you were just looking at a person who's from Atlanta, Georgia. Like that's all this says. The grill and the Air Force is say Atlanta, but the camel sacket, it says Georgia. I guess if you put them together, they go together, but like, this is, this is the thing that trips me up about grills and chains. Let's talk about authenticity for a second. What do you mean they got to be real? Because your grill, because the last thing you need is a grill made of a non-precious, like not made of gold or platinum. They aren't all made of a precious metal. So then when you have a fake chain, the worst that's going to happen is that it turns your skin a little green maybe you smell a little bit whatever right smell? Yeah, they I think that with sweat some of those fake chains can like give off a little good of a

Metally scent Okay, and then with a fake grill. Ohf that's your mouth. That's I hear you I can say that I at one point did have a fake room just because it was it was a novelty grill you weren't supposed to wear it for a long amount of time there was this hood only way I can describe it dude as friends with only I could describe was a hood Mexican store this was in like the Latino part of the town but only Mexican area in Atlanta on Beaufort Highway. And so the store had like a lot of soccer jerseys and a lot of like Tejano clothing. But then, so it had like the cowboy boots with like the Oshish boots, the cactus boots,

the cowboy hats, the the shoids, the cowboy hats, the shirts with the version of Guadalupe on it, but then there was this huge rack, spinning rack of just grills. And they were $10. They had all kind of stones in them, right? They're all rhinestones, it's all fake. And when you got it, it came with this little piece of wax. So you you put the wax in hot water and then you put it in the grill and then you put it in your mouth and that's how you would fit it to your mouth. I still have it and I have like a row of like clear stones a row of clear stones are going straight across. We saw one that looks like stained glass windows where like on each two.oth was like a little like red stone and a clear stone cross. So people, the grill game is so deep.

People so pressed to have a grill, hmm? Did you say hot water? You would put the piece of wax in hot water to melt it. That's a melt but to make it soft. And then you put that in the grill and you put that in your mouth, like on your teeth.......... And the that, and that, and that, and that's, and that's, and that's, and that's, and that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the grill, and the grill, and the grill, and that's the grill, and the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the grill that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's how that's how that's how the grill, that's that's the grill, the grill, their the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, the grill, that's the grill, that's, not to melt it, but to make it soft. And then you put that in the grill, and then you put that in your mouth, like on your teeth, and that's how you would make the grill snug to your teeth. It was just a generic fit. So it's the same way that you get your mouth guard ready when you're going to box. Is that it it? Yeah, yeah, you throw that that that that that that, let it sit for a little bit. I've never boxed before because I value my face. No, I'm with you.

I mean, you probably still want to have it even if you weren't sparring, just like, even if you were like hitting the bags, you know, you never know what could happen. You're gonna hit your own self in the mouth? I don't know. I've their their their to to to to their thi thi I've thi I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've people train. Oh yeah, you like watching some videos. So yeah, so you like watching them wild-ass videos. I've never understood your dislike, your disdain, your animosity. Come on, SAT words. Come on, Thesaurus. Uh-huh. Dislike, your disdain, your animosity. Come on, SAT words, come on, thesaurus.

Come through thesaurus. Come through thesaurus. Also, what a fun word. There's an episode of Arthur where DW just thinks that thesaurus is just the sores, which just thinks it's a dinosaur that knows words. And I was like, honestly, I'm so glad, because'm not the first person that ever thought this. I just never understood your dislike, disdain, animosity, your true malice that you have.

Malice is not the right word. But why you dislike the grill so much. It's just fun. I'll explain it right now. I'll give you an indication right now. So let's say someone has a heavy chain. We're going to talk about straight up downsides for a second of both, right? Let's say someone has a heavy chain that they're just not made for, you know? Like I'm the type of person. I'd like to think that I'm self-aware. Who knows? Other people would have to tell me that you're very self-aware you are. You're very self-aware. So I don't go around

trying to, even as I've tried to gain weight and muscle in the years, I'm not trying to be that big because I'm not that tall. So then if I get real big... You would tell me you were trying to be huge. Yeah, I was joking. Oh, oh, man. I was. I. I. I. I. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was th. I was th. I was th. I've th. I've th. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried. I've tried hard for me to just be like, this n-nick is never gonna be huge. Wow! Wow! You don't believe at all. All I really try to do, I'm trying to gain 10 more pounds I have now and keep that for the rest of my days. This is why metabolism is a bastard. Because I can gain 10 pounds by just breathing in. Um, bodies aren't fair. First of all... But I wanted to be 10 pounds of like clean, cut, just lean muscle. Just, you know, you know what I'm talking about that?

You're already probably 2% body fat. If I was 2% body fat, a cold would kill me. I... I'm like, I'm like 11. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, but I'm also skinny right now. I lost all my muscle in the pandemic. You've been skinny forever. There's a little stint in there where I would have liked to believe I was built, but all right.

Whatever. You're not skinny now? It's really not even the point. No, let's before my feelings get. I'm just trying to understand the different try. No, no, you're fine. I took us on this road. This is my fault.

Let me get us back on track. So when it comes to the self-awareness that it takes to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be a little guy with a big chain. You don't want to be one of those little dudes that's just like hunched over because the chain is too, it's too icy, all right? You're frozen, you've frozen over, you have hypothermia in your neck. And it's not sexy. It's not like women, it's not like women's see a dude with a beautiful, beautiful chain, but can't hold it up with his his his his his his his his his his his his his........... the the th to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be too. too. too. too. too. too. It's too. It's too. It's too. It's too. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. It's, it's, it's. It's. to be. to be. to be. to. to. to toe. too. too. too. too too too to too too too too too to too too too, it's too, it's too, it's too, it's too, it's go, ooh, that's the what I want, the one that's clearly bad with money and body. I do wonder, whenever I see those really thick chains with diamonds all in them.

I'm like how the fuck much did this chain cost? You don't have a car. It clearly cost a car. Clearly, oh, yeah. Truly. Yeah, if they had to choose between the car of the chain, it's at least a car. Man, I just can't like, my chain, I had a hookup, do my home boy, from some people he grew up with.

Mm-hmm. So I got a deep discount on my chain. I'm on my room. Also, my girl didn't go up to the gums. So it was just less gold, so it was just less money, right? Yeah, yeah. Because I wanted to clawn the classic Dainie grill. It was funny because I came home when I showed my mother,

my mother and my mother, ha ha ha! I came over to show my mom to show my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, and my mom, so, and my mom, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so..... So, so, so, so, and to to to my, and to to to to to to to to to the the the to the to. the the the to, the to, the to, the to, the to, the to. the to. to. So, so, so, so, so just couldn't understand why I was so pressed about this But I bought it during the pandemic. Yeah, because we all needed little things to make us happy. Mm-hmm. It was a it's truly extremely affordable with a discount. That's why I got it done. But there's been more times where I've seen someone with a chain no where I've seen a man with a chain or a grill and just been like, how can you afford this? Because everything else you're showing me, tells me that you can't afford your mouth. It's almost like in a video game where the stats get really high but for only one attribute.

So like when you're playing Mario Kart? Yeah, you're playing Mario Kart. And you have your acceleration at the highest level, but your speed is low, your weight is low. You're like, you've messed up the thing. There's supposed to be some sort of balance here. You have no weapons, you have no ammo, like you have nothing to defend yourself. Actually no, you would, if your chain is that nice, you would have weapons to defend yourself. Like a Flav aflave situation, where it was like, oh his chain is so big, he just became a clock. We all thought it was ridiculous because we've all seen somebody in chains him and like, what the fuck? What the fuck? I don't understand why like humans, like, thuuu, thu, their, thu, their, thu, thu, their, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, like, thus, like, like, thus, thus, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, like, th, like, the, th, th, like, th, th, th, th, th, like, th, th, th, th, th, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thus, th, thus, thus, thus, thi, like, like, thus, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, what the, what the fuck? I don't understand why like humans as a whole, because like all races of people,

all backgrounds of people, fuck with chains. I don't know how this came about, but it was just like, I was like, okay, let me get this little loop of metal. We'll put that around my neck. I'm telling you, though. I put some siding rocks in it. 100% percent. Because, because, because, because, because, because, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, the the th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A get this little loop of metal. We'll put that around my neck. I'm telling you, though. Shited rocks in it. 100% because chains make sense, all right? They hang from your neck, you don't have to worry about them. There's a reason we don't have chains hanging from one arm.

It's gonna fall off. There's a reason we don't have chains hanging from the waist. That's what a belt is for, you know. There's belly chains. You you didn't go through the early 90s? I mean like late 90s early 2000s. Those to me don't like actually scream chain. Like like those, those for me are just like a hookup on a belly button ring. I hear you. I'm just waiting for waist beads to go because like waste beads are real big right now. Yeah, yeah. I'm just waiting for them to go metal is what I'm waiting for waste beads. I'm waiting for waste beads to just become waste chains. Yeah.

So you're saying that the chain makes sense. See, this is the thing. The chain, to borrow from you from our last recording, okay. You know that the chain is superior because it goes, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the thed, I thed, I to to thed, to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to Okay. You know that the chain is superior because it goes across all cultures like you said, just like how, you know, chicken soup. Okay. I think that the grill is a very particular thing because it doesn't make sense for most people. So, quick story. The same way that sometimes you see a guy with a chain that he can't really

keep up, look like you got too many mardi gras beads. The next time I see somebody who's doing it, I'm gonna go, monigraw beads. The next time I see somebody who's doing it over.ro beats, and that's what's gonna be leaning over. The other thing that's at play here, the other thing that we have to keep in mind is that the same goes for grills and quick story. When I was young, I knew a kid that worked at the movie theater. We all did, yeah. He had a grill, I. And his grill, I don't know the quality.

I actually, I won't, I won't even speak to it. I don't know if it was fake or real. All I know is it seemed to have set him back quite a lot. It, uh, quite a lot of his money. Went to the gum was like one of those classic, uh, remember those party like a rock star grills? Yeah, I think so. Okay, where it's like, it has that very flowy, gold drippy look. So instead of just being like,

it looks like just a solid gold bar almost, but with a little bit of design in it. Okay, so he had one of those. And I don't know who he went to I don't know how it was done but it was not fitted properly for his mouth so it gave him both when it was in at least when it was in his mouth it gave him a lisp and it gave him a whistle and the whistle was very unfortunate get the whistle get off man the whistle because you never knew when the whistle was coming, because the whistle wouldn't come with S's, that was a lisp. The whistle

would come at random times. And that for me, a chain will never do you like that. He made a choice to wear someone else's grill. I don't know what pawn shop he went to, but I feel like this was not his grill. I'm telling you that was. I'm telling you I feel like that this was not, I don't feel like it's setting him back. I feel like he went to, and pawn shops are always, I will never buy anything out of a pawn shop because you are catching someone at their worst, like listen, I just need a couple of dollars, I'm going to put my wedding ring in here, get a couple of dollars and then I'm going to come back and get it. And a lot of times people

can't come back and get it. Or they're stereo equipment. Yeah, they forget as well. They'll forget or they really just can't. Because there's like the interest you have to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the interest you have to to to their to their to to their their to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their worst.e. their their worst.e.e.e.a.a.a.e.e.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea. I. I. I just. I just. I just. I just. I just. I just. I just. I. They'll forget or they can really just can't. Because there's like an interest you have to pay to get your stuff back. Yeah. Because it basically it's a predatory loan obviously. Yeah. A title pond. So I will never buy anything out of a pawn shop because it was like oh this was someone in a dire straight. Yeah. And so that's where he got this grill from. I don't believe, I cannot believe. He was at the box office just so five for fantastic Mr. Fox. Like nod stop. And it was crazy because the couple years that I knew him where he had

that grill there were a lot of S movies that came out. A lot of Star Wars. And then, you know, it was crazy about that grill. Did it change his tone of voice as well? The, he couldn't talk around the grill. So then when he took the grill out, my man's voice was deeper. That's what I'm saying, like, that's what I'm saying, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th...... that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that was like, what I was and then it's four for Star Wars? Like don't do me, like don't...

I'm telling you, I'm telling you, this dude, his grill did him so dirty every day. Hold on, let me see what mine. Does mine make me talk different? You do have to learn how to talk around it. Yeah, but he clearly didn't, in years in in had it, so maybe he couldn't talk around it. Because it wasn't his. Because also I feel like if he brought the base to that grill, he was scared it would pop out. Josh Johnson.

I'm just saying, like if he, if he spoke at his regular register, I think he was nervous that, because that grill, like, and I'm not trying to put my band on blast or anything, that's th........ Because th. You th. You th. th. th. th. th. th. th. he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he. he because it, because it, because it, because it, because it was he. Because, because it was he, because it wasn't, because it wasn't, because it wasn't, because it wasn't, because it wasn't, because it wasn't, because it was, because it was, because it was, because it was, because it was, because it was, because it was, because it, because it, he. Because it, he. Because it, he. Because, he. Because, he, he, he, he, he, he, he. He. He. th. th. th. th. th. th. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. nervous that because it that grill like and I'm not trying to put my man on blast or anything that's why you already put him on blast but I'm just saying his grill was like the sagging pants of grills like it was like that that they they did not sit right was it the sagging pants or when you see a kid on picture day in his dad's suit the the reason that I would say it was sagging pants is because it felt like he was always adjusting it in his mouth. See when I got mine done, they take like a, they take a, they take a mold of your teeth. Like a true mold, you sit there for 10 minutes, it cures, they pour a plaster in it and then they use wax.

True, because I was sitting there with a do, there was talking to the guy who was making it. I went to Gabby Alon and got my grill done. And so they take the mold of your teeth and then he uses wax to create what the grow will become. And so they do the mold on your tee, you, you, the, the, the, they, their, their, their the grow will become. And they do the mold, you use the wax on your teeth to design it, put in little places where the, you know, any stones or whatever goes. They put that in like the mold and then they pour gold in and wherever the wax, the wax melts out, it almost like evaporates, and then the gold goes in where the wax was.

Mm-hmm. That intro into it is. But I can say there might not be other cultures that do grills, but there are a lot of other cultures that do gold and silver teeth. Yeah, yeah, that's fair. I don't think most of any of those cultures are European. But once you get out of Europe, like I grew up with a lot of kids that had from El Salvador or Mexico that had them silver teeth.

It's silver, that was a lot of silver teeth. There might be one, just one tooth. And Americans, black Americans, was like, listen, why would have? One gold tooth When I could have six across the top That are gold and To be better with my dental hygiene, I will make these gold teeth removable Because I remember growing up with somebody had a gold tooth.

A lot of the the tooth would rot. Yeah. Yeah. On the inside. So the thing about a grill, because you can't, uh, you can get a cap done. That's removable. So a grill, all it did was it gave you the best. Because you can't, only the thing you can't the the th can can can can can can can can drink think can drink think can't think can't the think can't think can't think can't the think can't you the best, because like you can't, only thing you can drink when you have a grill is water.

Can't eat anything because your teeth are covered and go, like you can't, you can't bite in anything when you're having a grill. So you don't want to bite into an apple and lose a fucking diamond like a joke. I'm pretty sure Lil Wayne ate with his grill in. I think little way that was their their their their their the way my name was. That was that whole news story that he didn't take it off for like a week or something like that.

It feels like propaganda and lies. Let me see, I'll look it up right now because maybe I'm wrong. I don't want to lie on Lil Wayne. Because that's a shame that your friend and his wasn't like, because like, the guy, Gabby was telling me like you have to make it a to, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to.. Like, to. Like, to. Like, to. Like, to. Like, to. Like, like, to. Like, like, like, to. Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like you make a grill, you make it tight. Mm-hmm. So it doesn't fall out why someone is talking. I mean, I'm starting to think this, telling you this, I'm glad we talked about, because it's the first time I've ever been like, maybe that was someone else's grill. Yeah. That never occurred to me the entire time, but I would see him and talk to tha thu him and talk him and talk him and talk him and the the tha thin they about thin they about thin thin they about thin thin thi they about they about that to that that to to to to to to their to to their their their to to tho tho thi. their their tho. their thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi. I to to to to to to to to to to thi. to to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to, tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. tell. to to thi. thi. I th. Like I would never. You give him a bless his heart poor thing. Because he would just be over here like, the way y'all do it on Saturdays.

I'm like, that's not even his voice. That's a shame. It's like he put on someone else's whole mouth. Like, he could have, ha ha. Maybe's like one of those like horror movies where you know have you get someone's you know ring or something like that and they're just possessed by that person. Maybe he got the voice of whoever that grill originally belonged to. I am making sure that I am enunciating with this end because I don't want to create my own lisp situation.

Oh, it looks like Lil Wayne has left his grill in permanently. Those are just gold teeth. I think, yeah, I think diamond tea. It says American rapper Lil Wayne has revealed that he takes good care of his diamond teeth by brushing them every morning, noon, and night. Yeah, they're in his teeth permanently, cannot remove them. He has to be careful with what he eats and cleans them after every meal. Yeah, he just has...

That's a different thing. I thought that he had a grill in this whole this whole this because it's flashy that it's not something that you're a fan of? Because I, I mean, I'm very much who I am. So you know me, it's, I have a lot of rings on, whether they're, you know, you know, costume or not. I respect flashy. I don't mind flashy at all. Right. The thing you don't think gets me is a... Is this a hygiene thing so the hygiene is what holding you up? A little bit of it is the hygiene and I think I've just watched people have bad real experiences. I had a friend...

this is a much smaller thing this is not that big of a deal, but I had a friend bite his lip with his grill in and he got himself pretty good. I mean, we've all been- He really didn't want to talk the rest of the time we were hanging out. I don't even know how you had one of the vampire things though those a little like Oh It wasn't it wasn't like the full long canine type vampire thing. It was really little and it was only a little bit Longer than his actual tooth was so it's like it would be hard to notice unless he smiled why but he had the little bit of vampire like edge to the ends of the grill And at one point he just I don't know if he was talk talk to to to he he he he he he he he he he he he he was he was he he he he he was he was he he th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to to to thi thi the tho- tho- tho- tho-like tho-like th. th. th. th. th th. the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th th th the the the the the the the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee toe thi thi thi thi thi the the the to the ends of the grill. And then at one point he just,

I don't know if he was talking or thinking, but he just bit his own lip. And he was not having a good time after that. I mean, the times you bit in your own lip, we just like, I hate everything. So now imagine if you bit it with a gold dagger in your mouth. Because that's like the, because like, usually, you, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. your mouth. Uh, because that's like the, because like, usually when you bite your cheek or something when you're like eating, that's different, but like, really just stabbing yourself in the lip.

Yeah, where you bite that like, edge that's real close to the lip. Oh. Have you ever got your grill stuck? There's a time where you, well, where you thought it was stuck and you just panic for a second. And then I was just like, I know this isn't stuck. I just need to relax. But I was like, I'm trying to go to sleep. I thought about getting one that was leopard print. A leopard print grill? Yeah, so it'd be up to the gums and then it would be, you would use enamel to paint on the design. This is why I think a chain is superior, all right? If you want to express yourself, if you want,

if you want to have the thing that's your favorite out there, allow for people to see, you put it on chain because a chain can be seen from far away. The grill, I gotta get right up close. I have to know you. I have to really, I have to really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the their their their their to to to to to to to to use their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to really I got to really know you. Yes. Yes. People listen people snatch chains. People don't snatch grills. Okay but but let's let's now talk about that that level of deficiency in both, okay? But no person that I've ever seen, rapper or otherwise looks looks cool get their chain snatch. We all look like little kids that get strangled at the supermarket. My mom is, you know, it's all D-Boh is my grandma brought me that chain, right? So I remember, because I haven't been on the

train a lot, but I remember being, I was shooting comedy knockout, and I was going to meet somebody, so this is like Harlem, Spanish Harlem, and I go, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I knockout and I was going to meet somebody so this is like Harlem, Spanish Harlem and I go and it's like summertime I think it's like 20, the summer 2016 I believe and I'm going to get on the train very begrudgingly and I see this rolling message that says, Attention, it is chain snatching season. Don't be flashy with your jewelry. And I was like, first of all, I thought Christmas was chain snatching season. I did not know that the dead of July.

I mean, I guess anytime, I mean, chain snatching is year round you know what I mean just to see a message that said it is chain snatching season. Do not be flashy with your jewelry. The other thing about chains is that you can I have seen a man where a chain that is too thin for him. I have seen men in chains that was too big for them. Like I've never seen a woman in a chain or I'm just like, sis, what are we doing? Even when it's ultra thick? But there's a there's a different, there's just the way that the thickness sat. I'm like it made sense on her But I have seen big men with very thin

Dane like just time I'm like sir. Where did you get this gold dental floss? Because on me it's a regular chain. I'm a dainty lady right? Yeah. Yeah on this grown-ass man once you hit a certain size, you have to think about what the, how the sizes of things work. You see what I mean? Yeah, I think that you actually should not have, to me, you shouldn't have a chain that is more than half an inch thicker than the veins in your neck. Because this is where men get into trouble.

This is where we get into a little bit of the ultra-macho long and thick chain that doesn't really look good on you, doesn't really sit well, makes your neck bend over a little bit, you know? I've seen chains that were, there is a gentleman that I am aware of who is like six, it's like in the six threes, you know, and has the longest chain I have ever seen on anybody. And in so long you think it looks like two chains. It looks like two chains. It looks like two chains that have been attached in to end.

Yeah. Because it's so long. Yeah. Like he'll never after unhook. Like I, like, there was one day I was so tempted to just stand in front of him and put the chain on me as well. I mean, when you're that tall, you really don't even have to worry about chain snatching because that's just hanging. It's just, but it's like it hangs so long up for like, it's like the middle. It's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, middle, it's like it's above his belly button.

Mm-hmm. But it's like below his sternum. So it's like it's very... Yeah, it... And I was like, this is... It hangs like a doorway. But at the same time, I don't hate it. I mean, he seems tall enough to pull it off.

It's like, right. This was a short guy with that chain that was just stepping on it and tripping himself up like a loony tune, that'd be a nice story. I think it's because he has a long torso. Yeah. Because some people get like, I have long, like, I'm not a tall person, right? I'm five, four, and formally, you, you, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, a, a. I, a. I, a. th. th. th. that, I, a, a, I, I, I'm, a. that, I, like, like, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like a woman, this big, just got bigger than me. And so most of my height comes from my legs.

Like my torso's nut doesn't match to wear like my legs. Yeah. So my torso isn't that long. So if I had a, excuse, if I had a really long chain, but also I had, like I used to make jewelry. It's still kind of do. is for fun and not for profit. So the thing about chains is like I would make chains and I would make the length usually around like 20 around 20 inches based on me. That's what I'm like 16 it like it's too small whatever too short.

I don't like that chain that just oh the just bit almost like a choker it almost like a choker just a just barely goes around the neck. I hate that shit because I don't feel like that I'm being loosely choked. It's like the Mitch Hedberg joke was like wearing a turtleneck. It's like being like lightly choked all there. Mm-hmm. Uh, and wearing a turtleneck in a backpack, it's like trying, like someone to, like a small person trying to take it down. Also, my neck's not super long, because people do have, you know, there's different lengths of necks, right?

So someone was like a really long neck, because I'm always very aware of my neck, because I did get to a part in my joint, and in my life as a person where I feel, I work very hard to make sure I have a neck Mm-hmm. I feel like at one point I was close to losing My neck This is the thing So if you chain will also accentuate the neck no no no no no if you were a person? If you were a person with no neck Uh-huh, because I was a gnat swing

from being a person with no neck. Out here just being a straight linebacker and I have done invasive maneuvers to make sure that I am a neck having American. When you see someone who truly has no neck, with a chain on, it looks like an optical illusion. What is this chain attached to? Yeah. How is it out here? How is it living its life? So, you've seen people whose chains are too small, you see people who chains are too long. Do your chain hang low?

Does it wobble to him throw? Um, which was also a very silly song. Have you heard that song? Have you heard that song? Have you heard that? Yeah. Uh, thii's a thi. .

Uh, thi. thin'a. Georgia by ludicrous thing of that so so you know what let's put it up to you the listener now negro I listen you have not proven to me you can give it to the listener all you want to you have not given me adequate evidence to show me why you think that the chain, other than saying it's not in your mouth. Yeah, yeah. That's the only reason you've given me

that the chain is better than the grill. I feel like you haven't seen magnificent grills. So I, on your Instagram machine, I'm going to send you a website, a Instagram profile from where I got my girl from. And he is doing amazing work. I think you need to see it.
