Starting point is 00:09:12 She was belching and shit. And then you can't even tell her quietly, ma'am, we have to ask you to leave. It'd be like, what? No, she wasn't lying. That's what I'm saying. She's like, I'm 40% hard. I was like, you're not deaf. You're hard of hearing.

Her boyfriend got up and left the table. Wow, dude. Why would you not bring your hearing aids to an audio event?
Starting point is 00:09:35 She also waited until the pandemic to find out that she was deaf. I said, you've been screaming like this your whole life at people, and you just thought that was normal? She's like, yeah. And then when the pandemic, I couldn't see her. her it was in the dark she's right on the end this is the problem i couldn't tell because some people don't know how to fucking order quietly so i couldn't tell if this was an order or if this was a server asking for more drinks so i'm letting it go until i finally hear the boyfriend. And I didn't realize he left. They were right on that edge where the light hits.

My two years to get my AA and my freshman year there, my first year, the 13th grade. What's your AA? Alcoholics Anonymous?
Starting point is 00:16:13 My AA is associate's degree. Yeah, general studies, bro. Too late to give out the other AAs. So these guys are always playing. The black guys are always playing Uno in the cafeteria. And they're playing aggressively like that. And one day, one of the guys said, you didn't call Uno. And the guy's like, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:16:33 I did too. And he's like, no, you didn't. He was like, fuck yeah, I did. And the dude picked up a chair, cracked him across the head. It fractured his skull. They had to land a helicopter on the fucking property and rushed this dude to the hospital. No way. Over Uno?
Starting point is 00:16:47 Over Uno. And immediately, it signs everywhere. No more card playing. No more dice. No more gambling. Like, done. Over Uno, bro. Fun for all ages.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Fun for all ages. That's what they say. Not all ages. Fun for four to 14. Cracked him over the fucking head. I bet he didn't call Uno. I bet he didn't call it up. I bet he didn't call it. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Otherwise, somebody else would have been like, no, no, I heard him. So how did you get... All right, so 16, you're into this thing. Did you want to do it? I'm a G1. Well, yeah, it was cool to have a summer job. Remember?
Starting point is 00:17:19 Yeah, I love summer jobs. Earning money. Landscaping, working in pools, yes. And it was like you didn't have the laziness yet but man they taught me how to be lazy they taught me way it was just like you did the job they tell you yeah yeah so we had one time we had to pick out weeds by the near the parking lot and and i'm you know i'm fucking picking out weeds and put it with this big trash can and one of the guys it was just me and him on duty and he's like nah nah nah nah and i was like what do you mean he goes nah dude and we got some newspaper and he just watered it up
Starting point is 00:17:49 put him like halfway up the fucking giant trash can and he goes all we gotta do is cover those newspapers nah yeah and i was like what dude black people are so smart and just we covered that up with a layer of weeds and and then we just slept in between, like, tourist cars. We even had Arlington National. Yeah, in the shade of the fucking parking lot in between some cars of tourists. Oh, goddamn, dude. Yeah, it was great. And then he goes, he'll pick us up at 4, 350.
Starting point is 00:18:20 How old was he? He was probably 25, 30. He was a full-time job. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. God, I forgot about that guy. So the black guys I used to work with at UPS were so fucking funny and so fun.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Shout out to UPS Baltimore Hub Primary 1, Joe Avenue. And they would do this thing in the loading thing where – and I worked with them, so I knew. But then I became a supervisor, so I knew. And I'm like, yeah, you can't be doing that shit anymore. But about a quarter of the way up, they would build a false wall instead of all the way to the back. They built it here. And then they would just take packages and chuck them over the wall and then stack the wall up to close it and then just build out the rest. So it looks like –
Starting point is 00:19:03 They're doing it. It looks like half that truck's full and it's not. Wow. And they're just throwing it because everyone's supposed to be like Tetris, nice and neat, stacking it. They're just, yeah. I love it. It's so smart.
Starting point is 00:19:14 What a game, the system. I learned about black humor. I had never seen black humor before, which this was the wildest one. You'll make a joke, whatever the joke was in the moment, and then they'll just repeat it and get an equal laugh. I was like, what? They'd be like,
Starting point is 00:19:31 why the chicken on the sword to get to the other side? Bah! Oh, motherfucker! He said to get to the other side! And everyone would just laugh equally. And I was like, how many times can you tag it
Starting point is 00:19:41 with the same exact thing? I was like, wow, black humor is interesting. So we did that. So the one time I got in trouble, so I was good and he gave me one duty, which was you just,
Starting point is 00:19:55 instead of lifting these heavy pipes, you get to just like go to some of the flower beds and just, you attach us. They call it the magic wand on top of a hose. And it would kind of go up with like a hose attachment so you know you're just like watering the water the the flower beds it's real light instead of like the fucking massive um piping thing and i got tomb of the unknown soldier and i was watering it it was great it was just like easy work you know you didn't
Starting point is 00:20:23 have to fucking lug shit. But is there, is the soldier standing right there too? Are you by him? No, sorry. There is too many on the soldier. Okay, okay, okay. And the Marines were there, and that was the coolest fucking gig they could get
Starting point is 00:20:36 because all they got to do is march up and down. All those guys would just do pushups all day. They would trade shifts. So like, hey, I got to work every six hours for two hours. He goes, I'll just do four hours straight. They're Marines. They can handle this. And then I have two days off.
Starting point is 00:20:49 And they would just sit there playing cards and doing push-ups all day. Oh, they're not just standing still the whole time like the British Guard? When they're on duty, they do. Oh, okay. Then they're in the fucking hut. I see. They're just having a good time. I see.
Starting point is 00:20:59 This was Eternal Flame. Excuse me. Eternal Flame. Okay. Yeah. JFK. And so there's a- If you ordered and put this motherfucker out. Eternal Flame. Okay. Yeah. JFK. And so there's- If you ordered
Starting point is 00:21:06 and put this motherfucker out- Dude, the hose popped off. The hose popped off and it wasn't screwed on enough. And this fucking stream of water, because it goes up and then down. This stream just shoots up and then right into the fucking
Starting point is 00:21:22 pit of flame. There is no way, dude. Yeah. Yeah. What happened? It's out. No. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:29 You did not. I did. Bullshit, dude. It's out. And there's all these Asian tourists. You put the eternal flame out? Yeah. I'm sorry, Jay.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Yeah. There's all these Asian tourists around, and it's just this water shoots out, goes right into the fucking hole. I mean, I'm on the outside. There's this ring of flowers. I'm on the outside of them just just i mean there's all these like tourists these chinese tourists whatever and they're just like the flames out you could tell they're like looking up in their book like what does eternal mean um because it's out what are you doing are you shitting yourself shitting myself and who do you fucking tell i mean i i thought i mean i'm
Starting point is 00:22:05 16 so i'm like i gotta relocate it's treason it's not just like i fucked up at work i'm going to jail maybe it's jfk he's beloved also listen i don't want to defend you right now he's i want to hear the story but i feel like the eternal flame should go out as easily as a little hose. Yeah. Fire off the top. What happens in the rain? Yeah. For real.
Starting point is 00:22:30 For real. Well, they did have, I guess, a fucking gas like a pilot light. It did pop back on after about 30 seconds. It really did. Yeah. It felt like forever. And then it just comes back on. And I was like, fuck. it felt like forever and then it goes and just comes back on and i was like fuck that's not the first time it's happened then did you ask anybody or
Starting point is 00:22:51 no i didn't tell anybody a word i didn't tell anybody i was so nervous you look at those tours you're like shut up did i matt egger did this once he's parking cars at the store and he's not a good driver. And I saw him back up, I believe a Benz slammed into a Porsche. And then he goes, fuck, and he looks and I'm by the back door, you know, where everybody goes to smoke, and I'm the only one out there. And I had done that job before. And he's like this, and I go,
Starting point is 00:23:18 and he's like, and he just parts it to tell a word. And I'm like, dude, you didn't do it on purpose. These are rich motherfuckers, and this will break you. Yeah, that was fun. Damn, dude. You put out the eternal fucking flame. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:23:35 I feel bad now. That is treason. That is treason. I mean, not accidentally. In a way. Accidentally, it's not. I mean, Jesus Christ. We'd lay these pipes, and then as soon as it was on, it was so hot.

Starting point is 00:30:57 It was called the Baltimore-Washington Auto Exchange. Okay. And it was an auto auction. And Monday to Friday, it was me and two of my friends from high school that worked there when we were in college. And everyone else was an older black dude that was either laid off or fired or just not working or whatever. work and whatever. And if you could get there by 9 a.m., the first, I think it was like a dozen people could get a dealer tag, and your job all day was to drive these nice Lincolns, Cadillacs, whatever, from lot A to lot B. That's it. They're like, we're going to take you in this EconoLine van, and we're going to take you to lot A, and you're going to drive from the Covey lot to Luskin's. That was what he'd always say, right?
Starting point is 00:31:47 Okay. And you had to be there by 9. If not, then you did the auction, and the auction was just driving these cars on the lot through the thing. But on Thursdays, if you drove the cars, they made you do the auction. Okay? You had to do it at least one day a week. Okay. So we would get Monday, Tuesday, wednesday friday that was fun but because we were always driving the
Starting point is 00:32:11 nice cars we would get the fucking shitty cars at the auction and be like you go get that 1976 nissan 280z with no air conditioner anything like ah'd pull it in, people bid on it or whatever. But these older black dudes were the funniest motherfuckers, and they didn't give a shit about anything. It's so freeing. It was the dozens all the time. It was shitting on everyone all the time. And people, they're like, you're, people still are, you're a ball buster.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I'm like, that's just, I grew up around that everywhere. Not just my friends. Yeah. To strangers. That's just – I grew up around that everywhere. It was just normal. Not just my friends. Yeah. So this –
Starting point is 00:32:44 Just strangers. We had two guys that would drive the van for us to go from Covila to Luskin's Lot. One guy was named Wild Bill. This little dude was probably like 5'5", wore a cowboy hat with feathers on it, like that old dude, you know what I mean, with a vest and jeans and cowboy boots and thought he ran shit. The other guy was this young dude that was built very weird he had hips like he had hips and i can't believe it they would fucking yell to this kid while they were he was driving he'd be driving saying hey bitch hips they call him and we would be in the fucking back he's like fuck you he's like fuck you bitch. He's like, fuck you, bitch hips.
Starting point is 00:33:26 And the whole band, it's like 10 of them or nine of them are fucking calling him bitch hips.

I was going to go back next year. I didn't go back the next year. I don't know why. I think I started delivering dominoes or something two years later.
Starting point is 00:41:33 This was the best day at Arlington. We're on our lunch break. We all go back there. We're eating our bag lunch. We had the trucks. You could get – they come up and whatever. We're about ready to go out. We had this little tv in one of the
Starting point is 00:41:45 side rooms it was like the foreman's office then the side room where we have a couple tables and like that was where we played spades and this other room a couple couches little tv they smoked um you could smoke inside back then smoke on planes you could smoke on planes and then eventually like half and half curtain I barely remember that but you remember it too right ashtray like soldered in for a while yeah I remember
Starting point is 00:42:17 at some point you were like man how old is this they still got the ashtray I know they soldered it shut but this is an old plane anyway we were about to leave, and I was watching TV. The news was on or something. It was soap operas, and then they broke in, and it was like, come on, let's go. We're going back out there. And I saw Marion Barry on the TV, and I was a hero.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I go, hold up, you guys, hold on. And they're like, what? I'm like, hold on one second. And all I just saw was the mayor of Washington, D.C. saying the words, bitch set me up. Yeah, that's his crack. Yeah. Bitch set me up.
Starting point is 00:42:58 And I was like, what is it? I'm like, just, I don't know, come look at this. And man, we got the rest of the day off. We all just looked at the news for the rest of the day. Marion Barry got caught. The mayor. Mayor of the most powerful. The capital of the United States of America. Got caught being set up by a hooker.
Starting point is 00:43:18 What was her name? I don't remember her name. She was famous for a little while for this. For crack. For crack. Selling him crack. remember her name she was famous for a little while for this and and for crack for crack selling him crack he was in a hotel room with you know those fake hotel rooms with another hotel right next where they're just like cameras are in there they busted in and he was like bitch set me up he was just buying crack for his hooker looking back no big deal you know why he still ran the government he got re-elected he got re-elected. He was running a city that just didn't care about crack the way anyone else might care about it.
Starting point is 00:43:51 They were like, that's actually not a big deal. Yeah, you got to go to jail, but that's not – it's like in Berlin if you get caught cheating on your wife. They're like, eh. It's like I'm trying to think what – you know what I mean? It was like your standards are not my standards. Well, that Toronto mayor did it too. too remember that guy he was on crack too and they're like uh he was so crooked i think he won too didn't he get reelected he might have yeah john ford he just died right not john ford something ford i don't know but yeah he was like bitch set me up he just kept saying bitch set up. And we all sat around. I got a bunch of attaboys for fucking spotting it.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Yeah. Yeah. Rubbing your yarmulkes. Yeah, we watched Mary and Barron. Everyone's like, can you believe this news? It's like, this is what a day for us. Yeah, what a day for us. We were talking, we were going to cover local volleyball scores.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Instead, the fucking mayor is with the hooker by crack. I later met him. I was on ONA with Rogan. And we were there and he walked by and then fucking Norton sprung into action. He walked by doing somebody else. And he goes, Mr. Barry, I think he was in between mayor and not mayor and the mayor again. He goes, we'd love to interview you. He goes, sure.
Starting point is 00:45:04 He just thought radio station. He didn't think morning zoo. And he was like, Norton was like trying to give it up for him. He was like, you're a testimony to like a testament to the American dream. You can like sink to the depths and overcome this terrible thing and still become, or he had been mayor again and become mayor again. Yeah, and not mayor of a city in South Dakota. Yep, it's not bismarck it's not dc d washington dc the capital of black america to be honest it's an important fucking town and he goes uh what
Starting point is 00:45:38 do you mean sink to the depths he goes well you know the, the arrest for crack. He goes, it wasn't an arrest for crack. And we're like, what? He goes, I never did crack. And then we're all kind of silent for a minute. And we're like, what do you mean? He goes, no, they didn't catch me with crack. That wasn't real crack. Because I guess it was one of those things where you had to buy it,
Starting point is 00:46:00 but you couldn't sell fake tickets for it. You can't sell them the actual. So you can't sell them real. So you can't pin them for crack is what they're selling them, but you can get them for the purchase of it. And Rogan's like, but what did you think you were buying? He goes, and he just leaves. He was like, I'm done with this.
Starting point is 00:46:16 He takes off. Oh, man, Marion Barry was great. Great speaker. Ran the government well. People loved him. They loved him so much they re-elected him on camera wasn't even like the images burned in our minds that's why i felt bad for him he's like bitch set him up bitch shut me up bitch shut me up like as soon as they busted he realized oh i'm
Starting point is 00:46:38 here with this fucking hooker god what was her name god remember her name when you see her name you will remember it you grew up in that region. I think she was internationally known. There was a couple hookers, Stormy Daniels or whatever, where you were like – Who was Divine Brown? Divine Brown. Was that her? Who was she?
Starting point is 00:46:54 One of them was a Hugh – the black girl that Hugh Hefner got busted with was big for a little while. No, Divine Brown was – Divine Brown. Was the guy from Four Weddings and a Funeral. That's Hugh – I mean, not Hugh Hefner. Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant. I said Hefner. Divine Brown was the guy from Four Weddings and a Funeral. That's Hugh. I mean, not Hugh Hefner. Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant. I said Hefner.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Divine Brown. You're just a fucking hooker, and now you're internationally known. You suck the actor's dick, and everybody knows your name. Yeah. And you didn't even tell. You just got caught. Yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 00:47:17 So you couldn't even have the moral high ground. That's right. I wasn't going to say shit. I couldn't. My mouth was full. Full of the most beautiful cock you've ever smelled. Beautiful British cock. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Yeah. What a fucking day. That job was fucking great. That was the best day of the job. It was. It was. It's a very, very trash day. Every hour, people get to the bathroom and they're like, all right.
Starting point is 00:47:37 You should have said that to him in a row. That's what you do. Your worst day was my best day. It was my best day. I should have. I should have been like, I'm part of this story. Somehow, I know very minorly, you won't appreciate it, Mr. Berry, Mayor Berry, but man, you really made my day. God damn.
Starting point is 00:47:56 And so what did you do after that then? I delivered pizzas for Domino's. I delivered flowers. I got fired from delivering pizzas. Why? What did you do? I'd steal a lot. from delivering pizzas. Why? What'd you do? I'd steal a lot. How'd they catch you?
Starting point is 00:48:08 What are you stealing? Food or are you stealing the money and the tips? The money, the tips. So we had a thing. After 30 minutes, they used to have after 30 minutes, your pizza's free. Yeah. Until that car accident happened. They killed somebody.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah. They killed somebody rushing to not give a free pizza out. And they're like, hey, you can't incentivize people to speed like that. Yeah, for real. Just give them a $ dollar pizza you fucks five dollars off yeah is what we changed to they even said during the training you don't always bullshit about don't they make you buy the shorts and the shirt they don't just give it to you they make you buy it comes out of your check yeah so the first like three weeks you're not even getting paid did they saw that hat it is a cool hat now it's a trucker style with the mesh in the back
Starting point is 00:48:43 yeah would you get to any aggressive people hey, you're after 30 minutes. Would you get that a lot? Absolutely. And then you give them the $5 off. Now, here's the cool thing. If you're getting the pizza out the door at 25, right, because sometimes they're backlogged, sometimes you're getting it at 35. That's already $5 off.
Starting point is 00:49:02 It's like, sorry, it's going to take an hour to get there. In busy season, soup bowl kind of shit. You get it as fast as you can, but they're not getting it at $35. That's already $5 off. It's like, sorry, it's going to take an hour to get there. In busy season, soup bowl kind of shit. You get it as fast as you can, but they're not getting it. So give them all $5 off. At $25, they're like, assume you didn't make it. And then I picked up a pizza at $25. They're like, assume that's a $5 off. Got there in four minutes.
Starting point is 00:49:21 And the guy was like, oh, great, you just made it. And he gave me full price and i'm like well hold on the store told me it's gonna be five dollars off this guy doesn't expect it because i got there under 30 minutes and then the jew bulb went off and i'm like i'm an entrepreneur so anytime i was close picking up the pizza after 25 or getting there at like 32 33 minutes most people didn't realize about the deal and everything was cash then everything was cash everything you couldn't bring a fucking thing with swipe and pay and it was cash cash cash that's right you ordered it sometimes you'd be there no one would be there my motherfucker and they taught me like if anybody
Starting point is 00:49:59 gives you a 10 cent tip just like keep the change on 990 go no no no i'll get your change hold on right here you go back to your car get a dime like there you are sir just throw it in their fucking face um so i got the 32 33 minutes and i'm like here's your pizza 20 let's say 20 now if they go well hold on it's uh it's been 33 minutes you go oh my god you're absolutely right 15 it is no big deal if they didn't mention it you tell the store five dollars off so you're skimming five on every delivery yeah okay eventually it becomes like hey man you're not you're missing a lot of you're getting late a lot you're giving these people five dollars off you're not getting there in time um you're not learning your route one time i ran out of gas and i didn't i was just
Starting point is 00:50:42 like fuck i just i was an idiot you know so i was like i had to walk and fucking get a bucket and fucking fill up my gas and fucking whatever so he's like you're not letting her out we gotta let you go he didn't fully accuse me of stealing but that's what i was doing that's why i was late every single delivery how much you pull in a night we average about two dollars and ten cents a tip you know and then sometimes we deliver to like Georgetown Prep or something like that, a big order and get a lot more. Plus the five. So I'm averaging like six, seven a pizza. And how many are you ripping a night?
Starting point is 00:51:13 Plus mileage. That's a congested area. Oh, yeah. When I got – when it was like – eventually it was like, hey, we got to let you go. I was like, worth it. You know? I got fired a month early. I did four months extra worth of work.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Yeah. Oh, worth it. I was embarrassed though. I was i i did four months extra worth of work yeah oh worth it i was embarrassed though i was too embarrassed to go pick up my last paycheck to get fired as a jew it's like it's a conservative household you're just like you don't get fired from jobs and i remember the first time getting fired so i felt ashamed and whatever i did i felt like whoa i must have this month i must be terrible at this or whatever and I'm like that's just ain't for me yeah I don't have any passion to give it your own thing yeah what's the craziest shit you saw delivering pizza um I mean you got to see some weird shit yeah we saw some people's houses opening their doors yeah we saw a full like fucking going on
Starting point is 00:52:01 what do you mean like they're trying to show off some people are trying you ever been choked by Chuck Palahniuk there's this like theory that some people like being seen so you'll go open the door in the in the in the airplane and someone's like hey but oh shit sorry and then it's like why didn't they lock that door they want you to see them you know they're these voyeurs that like want or the opposite whatever that want you to see they don't lock doors on purpose so that you'll walk in on them. So they're opening the door. There's fucking going on. There's a naked lady on a bed.

He makes that much fucking breathing now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:27 But like, he was like, look at this fucking check. Not rubbing at my face, but showing off. Sometimes we see rich people bragging. It's not that they're fucking callous. It's that they still view themselves
Starting point is 00:58:37 as this fucking nobody. You know, they've just started making money. can you believe this? Right, can you believe it? And you realize who you're talking to, you're like,
Starting point is 00:58:42 oh shit. But it's also like, you're excited about it. And he like look at this i was like god damn bert that is fucking awesome and he's like no no no and he realized him it's like they'll recut the check but i'm like he was so fucking worried he's like i'll be disowned i'll be disowned oh shit i had a lady hit me up this is like this is i want to say it might even been during the pandemic when i really needed that fucking money too but uh this lady hits me up and she's like hey i live in your old apartment and i said i haven't lived in that apartment for like 10 years. And she goes, well, I got this mail that I just assumed was for me.
Starting point is 00:59:29 And I open it. It turns out it's for you. And it's a check from Blue Shield for like, I don't know, like $3,000. And it says, well, the check's not there. It says that they owe me this. And I have X amount of days to claim it and i go well how many days they said 30 and i go well there's only like three days left she goes yup and they just mailed it i just got this and so you know what's fucked up i haven't lived there for 10 years and i've had blue shield they managed to send me my bill every motherfucking month to the right isn't that interesting send that bill isn't that every motherfucking month comes right to my mailbox but this one and it says on there if it's not claimed it'll go to whatever some thing and so she i said

They were sending it to the wrong fucking. Remember when Obama came into office and he goes, I am going to invite CNN into the votes on reforming health care. I want it on televised what we're doing. That's what he's running on.
Starting point is 01:02:06 healthcare I want it on televised what we're doing that's what he's running on and then he got into office and every Senator and Congressman when he's like let's get CNN they were like nah dude because we're on the take and we can't be seeing what our votes is we'll say we're here for the little man but they Obama was like what do you mean I can't show you're voting like no because we got to have our takes and they never fully reformed it no they just did little pieces here or there they're still so fucking crooked every time something hurt like oh well maybe we should what's what all like this whole legalization of marijuana yeah the states that are slow on it once they see the money that comes in they're they're not going to put it toward teachers firemen police infrastructure they're
