Thank you for being back. I'm ready. Yeah. Well, what I'm very excited about is the first time you did this show was the first time you had done anything like that, which I forgot about that. I forgot it was the first time we've done anything. And now since then, you've launched your own podcast. You're coming up on a year in. Yeah, we're getting close. It happens quick.

It was fast as hell, actually. So why don't you plug everything first, and then we're going to get into some stories. So basically, it's a dope as usual podcast. Marty, Jurassic Graphics, and I have been doing it. We started in February. And it's just been going strong, man. Everything's working out well. People are watching.

Everything's growing. Guests are coming. Sponsorships, which blows my fucking mind. Because, you know, doing weed content for so long, there are no sponsorships. You don't get paid. And now that Marty and I go into an episode going oh we got paid for this it's a whole different mindset and game plan when i start investing everything in so that's what we've been doing since the last time i was here is the dope as usual podcast that's really it man just

non-stop every every monday same time three o'clock it's fun well hopefully it continues to change you know they the i believe youtube had banned alcohol for a while and now is allowing alcohol. So hopefully they'll come around eventually. Once marijuana is federally legal, every person is going to pounce on it for that penny. It has to be, man. I don't get paid. They show me how much money I would get paid on that channel. They show you that?

It's a lot. And I don't get it. It's a great bar. They show you it? Yeah a it's not highlighted you know i'm saying it's like a dull gray here's what you should be getting oh i see it i can google it don't make their money though yeah i get ads on it all day well um i wanted to say you know i hear a lot people people hit me up and say i'm like a joey diaz i'm. And I'm like, no, you're not. But I do hear from the comments, because this was an interesting crossover the first time we did it. And I get a lot of you're like a young Joey Diaz stories.

I hear that a lot, too. And Joey's 58 now, I think. So you got plenty of time to be a middle-aged and an old Joey Diaz, too. You got off to quite a start. That's a lot of catching up to do, man. I want to reintroduce you, your story at least, your background. So I do forget what happened with your biological father. My dad's cool.

I just saw him last week. Okay, he's in the picture. So your mom and dad split. My mom and dad have been split since I was three. And the stepdad comes in at what age my stepdad um i think i was nine okay and and describe again who your stepdad is in your life okay because after i left last time i realized how ridiculous it really sounds and then i tell people my family that i talked about it and they go yeah yeah, it's regular. So my stepdad, my mom, my mom's mom is Jewish lady. And my mom's dad was a Spanish guy from Texas.

Very weird mix. And my mom's a jerk and she dates people based on, can I piss my own mom off? That's how I felt. Cause my mom had me young. My sister was 16 when she had her, had me at just turning 18. Wow. So she was in high school with two kids. 16, she was a mom? Yeah, my mom was. She's fucking wild.

And she marries this guy. I mean, we'll always never say his name, but I saw Axl Rose. That's what he looked like to me. Okay. He had hair down to almost his knee. He had a flannel on, and he was playing hacky sack. And at the time, I playing hacky sack and at the time i played hacky sack and he could do the rainbow where it goes over your head so i thought

well this is the coolest motherfucker i ever met in my life and my dad sucked at the time he was on crank so you know it was a guy around me and most my mom my sister so he sounds cool but he is cool he's just a straight white supremacist. It's unbelievable. Straight. It is. It's unbelievable, man. But also a white supremacist who taught you Spanish. Yeah, it's pretty funny, actually.

And your mom's a Jewish. Well, her mom's a Jewish lady. It's insane. It's unbelievable. It is. It's stupid. And you grow up in that environment not knowing that that's not normal until when? High school.

What age? High school. Because then I thought about it. I already had it hard, man. I don't speak Spanish and I'm brown. And I talk like the way I do. I got fucked with all the time. Especially around other Mexican people looking at me like.

Because my nickname is Guero growing up. White boy, because I was this color my whole life. And it didn't help that my stepdad's now blue-eyed, blonde hair, Aryan, you know, so going to school was weird. He would never get out with me because he's covered in tattoos, not on his face and not on his hands. So he looked presentable. But I mean, I met him, Axl Rose rose playing hacky sack my mom starts dating him goes to prison i don't know the man i just know hey my mom's new boyfriend is super cool he's actually hanging out with me like my dad so i love the guy you know i'm saying i love that guy and we started visiting him at a prison in prison for i think i got like a three year

one so I went there every weekend waking up at four going there and like I said last time I was a little fat piece of shit kid and we were poor but I know if we went to visit there was these tri-tip sandwiches and these vending machines and I'm like yo

can I go get one of these tri-tip sandwiches every single time. I know those vending machines. The plastic slide door. Yes. Exactly the ones. Like some hospital tri-tip sandwiches? Every single time. The plastic slide door. Exactly the ones. Like some hospital tri-tip sandwiches. Dude, that's the shit they had at UPS. Shout out to UPS Baltimore, primary one. Enjoy having it.

That's the shit the guy would, vending machine. It was a big room, but that was part of it. You get a cheese steak in there. Nasty shit. Yeah, never good stuff. Right, but it's in there, and it rotates. You pay it, and then you slide that window open and get it. That's exactly what I did.

Just close it on your hand. Oh, I just had a bunch of nickels. Oh, man. So again, because I want to tell more stories, of course, but again, your Brown family is rolling into prison. Yeah, my sister's dark. To visit a white supremacist. Is it supremacist or supremacist? He never taught me that part. I don't know.

The grammar wasn't really on his mind back then. But I mean, to me, all I know is I'm going to visit him. How's that not a death sentence for him in prison though? Okay. I never asked that question. When I got out, he was one of the better people I ever met. I know it sounds crazy, but even to this day, he's one of the most upstanding people I ever met when it comes to doing what you're going to say. If you say you're going to do, he fucking did it.

When I got out, my best friend was black, and his dad was the head cop of our town. Just giant. I think I mentioned this last time. You did. Yeah, I mentioned this last time. He explains it to me all the time that racism belongs in jail. Outside, he gets to live his life.

That's what he says. So he's not a racist outside of prison? He always told me, you have to do that to live. That's what he always told me because he went to YA at 14, prison, 18th birthday. Look, I see these documentaries all the time. That's what they tell you.

You're either coming with us or you're fucking dead. Yeah, it's almost at the point where I can't ever talk about some of the stuff he said, but he's told me some stories. His first day in prison, he just sliced this guy's face up because he was like, hey, what do I do? I'm an 18-year-old blonde kid. And he called him Chester, but apparently it's like a child molester. So he's like, he was a Chester. So they so they told me like go stab this fool in the face so i mean he explained it to

me when my mom and him got divorced but it's way more graphic i probably it's just he explained a lot to me but i get that feeling again like i just feel like creepy how old were you when he tells you the story? I was 12. Jesus Christ. Because they were getting separated. He was like, you're going to be my son no matter what. You know what I mean? He was like my dad.

I almost changed my last name to his. My dad was not around ever. But I never saw him as like, oh, you're a fucking racist or you're a murderer or nothing like that. It was always, oh, it's my stepdad. Because you met out of prison stepdad. Yeah, I met him. Not in prison stepdad. Yeah. out of prison step yeah i met him prison step yeah and i'm brown sisters brown as fuck he has no problems with us my best friend is black

he loves that fucking kid i never got the vibe of anything hateful ever but in jail when he used to come out the door for visiting, he always looked different. He always had like a, I don't know how to explain it. He had like a dead stare until he got to us. And then he, oh, hey. And then it was always like back to scary fuck. Yeah, that's scary. Yeah, but I don't know how it was okay in there for him.

I'm assuming something to do with mexican people he has to do something with them for that to be allowed yeah because it's not like i'm fucking making it up i went there to cork and every fucking weekend we walked the little cell cement block thing the sandwiches the one guard at the door, the one guard at the front, the guy that checks you in, same dudes every weekend. It's not fun. It's not like now that I think about it, it was four hours of waiting.

Take everything you have off. What's your name? Patting us down. Like it was, it wasn't fun. But like I said, I was a fat kid. I went for fucking sandwiches, man. I was hungry as shit all the time, man. Like I was a fat kid i went for fucking sandwiches man i was hungry as shit all the time like i was a fat kid because every time there was food i would smash on it because

my mom was not doing the best for us as a kid and uh yeah that's what i grew up into it was weird the last time i ever saw them they had been divorced 12 when i got when i was 12 i saw when i was 18 i was delivering pizza, selling weed, like I talked about. And I saw a bunch of tweakers, which is normal, but around a car,

like they're all getting taught something. And I pull up to drop the pizza off across the street and it's my fucking stepdad under a car teaching all these tweakers how to fucking take an engine out. He was an engineer. He's so fucking smart, man.

He's teaching these motherfuckers how to steal an engine. Yeah, all these guys are just just looking like that they're probably trying to steal the catalytic converter shit honestly this is the money you want to get it from the muffler back dude i swear now that i think about it's probably what the fuck he was doing there's a bunch of white tweaker dudes just and one lady you know one chick with him at all times and uh i just said his name and he popped his head up and he looked so fucking disappointed because he was on one so bad like he you could see his eyes were gone but the one thing i noticed is all these white tweaker dudes just stared at me like they were gonna fight me until he went, that's my son.

And then everybody just like, what the fuck? Yeah, for real. That kid's your fucking son? This brown fuck? And that was the last time I ever saw him, man.

That was it. No, I lied. I saw him at college one day because he went to school too, but he had no teeth. He was all sucked up. So I kind of avoided him in school. It was weird going to school with my stepdad. That is weird. How old was he when he was all sucked up so i kind of avoided him in school it was weird going to school my stepdad that is weird how old was he when he was going 44 45 so not far from my age

cracked out of his head and going to get an education he had like six degrees in prison because he's an engineer he's a fucking genius but his felonies he never got a he couldn't get a job he's trying to be the teacher at our uc when you see merced happened he's trying to get a uc job as an engineer and they're like yeah that's your quality what the fuck did you do see it's arrest you know what i mean yeah of course fighting how many cops motherfucker damn there's the stories for days with that guy but he's gone now he's back in prison i saw it online and that's that's it. He's gone. He's never coming back, man. And it's sad as fuck because I know how cool he is. But drugs took him, and that's it.

But, yeah, that's how I grew up, that guy. Well, tell me. You've got a list of stories here. So let's start with this toy chest story. The toy chest story I wanted to talk about because I know you were like, let's dig into your little life a little bit more because after 16 i was doing everything by myself and nobody you know till now you know so the toy chess story takes place when i was in la my mom moved okay

we walked into my mom's friend's house and there was this tall tim curry looking dude and i remember my mom looks at him and and there was this tall Tim Curry looking dude. And I remember my mom looks at him and they look at each other and they just stared at each other. And I was like, what the fuck is this bullshit? They fell in love or some shit. Two days later, I'm moving to LA with my mom and this new dude. And my mom wasn't the best. I like to think of her as like star from Lost Boys.

Like you got your kid in a cave, bitch. What the fuck's wrong with you? Go back to your mom's house you know what i'm saying yeah like she's a nice lady but you're not making the best fucking decisions so we move with this guy i told the story last time uh about i was gonna say on the fucking floor yeah same guy okay um so we moved there i didn't know they were all twacked out at the time because it's my mom it's just she's mean that's all i know she's fucking mean she's gonna beat your ass don't say anything stupid and um do you ever have a bunk bed oh yeah hell yeah do you have to sleep on top yeah for a minute and then my brother complained that i had to go to the bottom oh you like the top yeah i liked it oh hell i roll off my i roll in my sleep as a kid. I'd always move in my sleep.

You didn't have that little ladder or something? No, hell no. The little blocker? No, I put pillows on the edge because I'm known to roll. You should have put them on the floor. Yeah, that's where you should have put the pillows. Yeah, you're right. You're right.

But I'm known to do that, and I knew I would fall asleep and fall off the bed. My sister's a dick. So anyway, I'm on the top, and my mom doesn't pay attention to us, and I don't to do that. I knew I would fall asleep and fall off the bed. My sister's a dick. So anyway, I'm on the top. And my mom doesn't pay attention to us. And I don't give a shit. I'm watching Street Sharks and shit. I don't care. I'm six.

So we moved to LA. And I know they smoke cigs in their room a lot. So we're not allowed in their room. Because my mom, I have asthma. Fucking dick. And they're smoking in the house? They're smoking in the room. But she's like, well, it's in the room. So you can never come in here. But it was her excuse to like, yo, they're smoking in the house they're smoking in the room but she's like you all it's in the room so you can never come in here but it was her excuse to like yo

we're smoking meth in here don't fucking come in here i didn't know but they were also smoking cigs because they go hand in hand you know and um i know not to knock on the door after a certain time my mom would beat the fuck out of you don't ever fucking open the door. But I'm not saying like my mom was always like hulking up on me, but she kind of was, you know? And I remember, man, I just woke up mid fucking air, like falling off the bed. And I just, you know, that weightlessness, you ever, the first time you felt that, you're like,

oh, what the fuck is this? So I'm a kid, I'm free falling. And I just feel, that's why I still have this huge bump right here or dip i hit my head on remember those wood toy chests with the bears and drums yeah those ones with the lid so i cracked my head on the side on the corner in the middle of the fucking night in the middle of the night because i woke up to just falling and then and i just remember like stinging searing ass headache everywhere but it's the middle of the night so the fuck am i gonna do like get my ass whooped or risk that she cares enough you know what i'm saying like i didn't know what to do sister's just as mean as

And then she turned. I remember she turned and I just like, oh, you bitch. And our army crawled my ass to my mom's. I was hurt. I was fucked up, man.

I crawled to the door, opened my door. I remember all this shit. I get my mom. Here's my door. You walk out. My mom's door is right there. It's a fucking apartment. And I'm about to knock on my mom's door from like from my hips i'm all fucked i'm hurt it's funny

I was sitting in the hallway just like trying to like, should I? And I fell asleep trying to decide. But I woke up to my mom like, what the fuck? In the morning. And I explained to her, she's like, why are you in the living room?

Why are you in the fucking hallway? And I go, so I fell. Look at this. And she's like, what the fuck's wrong with you? I had a big dip and it was cut. And I explained to her like, I didn't want to knock because you're going to fucking beat the shit out of me. But I didn't say beat the shit i'm like well you're gonna hit me i know the rule and she just started tearing and then we moved like two days later then she stopped doing drugs that was it no yeah she like felt so shitty that she's whoa that clean that made her go clean that and she said she saw herself in the mirror, and she was like a demon, all fucking

twacked out in the bathroom. And then this happened, and then we moved back. That was it. If you dread looking at your credit card statements, you are not alone.

Like a little Tasmanian devil. Yeah, he was like 6'2", 6'3". My mom was like 5'5". So tiny. Yeah, she'd beat the fuck out of people. And that was it man i just remember thinking uh i don't give a fuck let's move back she took us to mcdonald's and right off the bat i'm like why the fuck we have mcdonald's we're poor as fuck like i know we can't

do this and then she's like well i think we're gonna move back she was trying to like break it to us that we're moving so was he freaking out that you were leaving they didn't know yet my mom was mid packing up and he walked in oh no he goes what the fuck should get the fuck out of here and then he just left the apartment and then they broke up he was so afraid to stop her that we just moved and that's what made her go clean wow she stopped doing drugs yeah man it's wild to think about what a bitch but also what if you knocked that night did your mom continue to use probably yeah it probably beats my ass too though so i wasn't trying to get my ass whooped on top of not being able to i was an insomnia i still am so uh she used to beat the fuck out of me if i didn't go to sleep but i remember crying it would make me fall asleep

like the burning of your you know what i'm saying like getting my ass whooped and stare in the fucking corner that's what she used to tell me stare at the corner and then close the door and i just stare there until 6 in the morning. I can't sleep. Did her behavior toward that, well, that specific behavior, did it change after she went clean? Oh, she's been a dick her whole life. So it wasn't the drugs. No, she's an asshole. My mom's a fucking dickhead, dude.

If anything, she got worse. Really? More strict. Yeah, but my sister caught the worst of it because my sister's an asshole like her. So they butt heads and she beat the fuck out of my sister. And then she'd put her in a room with me because we're living in a fucking little apartment.

And then my sister beat the fuck out of me. Yeah, of course. Because I didn't get beat up. Right, yeah. I was constantly getting my ass whooped, man. Either my mom or my fucking sister. Tell me about the drug deal gone wrong. I want to hear about this.

All right. Drug deal gone wrong, man. There's about seven. But this one is the one that still pisses me off. Mainly because the friend I had, I'm no longer friends with. He's a piece of shit. This wasn't the reason why I'm not friends with him either. And you're going to say,

how did that not stop it? The friendship wasn't over then. And if no, it wasn't, I just saw a lot of weed. A box means a damn. Do you talk? Can I say this on your show?

I could talk about this shit. A box, a box means a hundred pounds. Can I talk? I could say this. Sure. I mean, Joey Diaz talks about what he talks about. Okay. So a box means 100 pounds can i talk i could say this i'm sure i mean joey diaz talks

about what he talks about okay so a box means 100 pounds so it's just like a slang term of growers like oh i need a box all right so at what 1100 what oh geez cool bring me a hundred thousand dollars 111 thousand dollars you know because you know over a thousand eleven hundred dollars a pound a hundred pounds fucking ass up man but you never make that money it's always i made fifty dollars per pound made some money today it's you know it's fun to me selling weed was uh started off just to smoke for free well how'd you get into it i got a 10 sack from this kid at school and then this girl britney asked me do you know i can get weed and in my head i'm thinking tell her you sell weed just fucking try it i don't know why i

was in the i remember what bench at high school and i sold her half of it i was like yeah i'll be right back i went to the bathroom just broke off half the weed that i just got and sold it for ten dollars so you just made your money back. Made my money back. And she's like, oh my God, fuck. Yeah. And she walked away. Oh shit. And I was poor.

I didn't even get lunch tickets. I was the kid with lunch tickets. Me too. My mom didn't show up. So I didn't get the fucking lunch tickets sometimes. We didn't have good weed though. We didn't have good weed. Oh, we had fire weed.

We did not. Yeah. And then some other kid asked me for weed about 15 minutes later because he heard that she got weed for me. Probably not good that she told everybody right away, but I sold the rest of it for 15 bucks. So for 10, I made $25.

My friend Joe comes up and I show him the money. I go, you think I'm lying? You think I have $25 somewhere? I'm fucking poor. And he goes, all right, we need to buy an ounce of weed.

I go, let's fucking do it. And we, all the money I could possibly find. How old are you? 15, just turned 15, because I'm a year behind. So I just turned 15. I'm in 10th grade. And we bought an ounce of weed,

and we started stashing it all around school on Sundays. So Mondays, like, what do you need? Okay, I'll be back. So certain drain pipes, like, that's fives, that's tens, that's twenties. You'd put them in, you'd leave it at the school? Yeah, because if someone snitched on me, they're going to find it on me. So I thought, it was always, my mom's going to fucking kill me. That was always my thing.

Like, if I'm going to do something, I'm not going to get caught doing it. So there was a wood pile for wood shop and never moved for 30 years. So we would know, take three steps, put your arm, there's a fucking half ounce. Take three steps, and there's another half ounce in sacks. So that's how me and Joe did it, yeah. Yeah, I love the criminal mind. I love it. It's just separation.

I can't get caught with it because I'll die. And it doesn't rain in Merced unless it's winter, so the drain pipes are not fucking working. They're dry. So I would just shove certain sacks in certain drain pipes so I could just walk, pretend to tie my shoe, grab it, and go make fucking money at lunchtime. And we sold an ounce our first lunch, and that's when I got hooked. The whole ounce. The whole fucking ounce.

And everybody only had $5 and $10, and we sold all of this shit. And I'm poor. And I'm sitting here looking at 40 profit with joe going holy shit i crush cans man like this is fucking awesome and you know you grow up poor 40 bucks is every fucking thing in the world when you're in high school that's all i remember i used to have to drive to atms where i could take out five dollars you know what i mean most of them were 20 i had to go to that neighborhood over there to get my fives and my tens. Or as Richard Pryor said, the twos infuse.

You know what I mean? I don't have enough to get $20. Could I get five on this $17 I got left? We just finally got one of those in our town. So I didn't know about that. I didn't even know that existed. I didn't have a card until I was 20 fucking three. But I fell in love with selling weed as soon as I realized. And I

just smoked weed. I smoked all that $40 extra. So here's what I wanted to ask you about. Cause it's interesting to me. You think like you see this drug dealer out there, you think this guy or girl, whatever knows what the fuck they're doing, you know, but it's like any other job, you start off with growing pains and fuck up. So tell me some of the mistakes you made early on in the learning process of how to sell weed. Don't. All right. Your friends are your friends, but stop fucking hooking up your friends. I would lose money selling weed to my friends.

Come on, man. I'm your friend. And this is what you're going to give me for 20? Oh, you bastard. And I just feel they're my friends like come on man i'm your friend and this is what you're gonna give me for 20 oh you bastard and i just feel they're my friends that's the only thing i ever fucked up on was just always too nice i fronted people ounces for years an ounce come back pay me for the ounce and can i can i front me another one like i'm just supplying your all right fuck but i'm i was such a nice i'm just too nice i wish i was a fucking dickhead i would have made more money but like i've said before there's like 30 fathers out there that owe me money

right now because they never came back and i know they all grew up and had kids and moved i remember everybody's name and i remember every fucking dollar that they owe me and when i see them go hey remember in like ninth grade you owe me 15 fucking dollars sir is that your kid nice to meet you you owe me 15 dollars i'm not gonna really ask it but i remember it all so that's the only thing i ever fucked up on is being too nice and never front anybody anything that's the only thing i fucked up on is losing money trusting people that they're as nice as i am that's it but never any deals gone wrong or anything like so sorry i'm off track the'm off track. The deal gone wrong, 100 packs. I'm about 21, and I buy like 10 pounds every four days for myself.

So, between the age of 15 and 21, you've gone from an ounce at one lunch to 100 pounds? Well, it's not for 100 for me. It's my friend needs it, and I go, okay. But you're still dealing with this. Yeah, like, all right, here. I'll meet you there. Bring the money. Cool.

Thank you. My points. Ah, fuck yeah. Like, the box is what every kid wants. Every traffic kid in the world wants a dollar on a box. That's $10,000 at every move. That's a lot of fucking money when you grow up poor as shit. I mean, that's a lot of money, period.

Yes, but the risk is, once California's not as bad, but anyway, box. My friend, my good friend at the time, tells me, hey, I'm with my so-and-so. He needs 100, or he says a box, and he tells me he needs that 11, and I'm going to get him at 8. So I was like, did I just make $30,000? Fuck yeah, I was making 300 bucks a pack. $30,000? Fuck yeah, he's making 300 bucks a pack. And he tells me, I'm looking at the money, because I know this fucking guy. I'm like, are you sure you need this? Because if I call my friend that has this, he's going to have to drive down from Santa Cruz to Sacramento or from Humboldt

to Sacramento. Make sure this is real, because I'm going to look like an asshole. And my friend, I call him, piece of shit, piece of shit friend says, I'm looking at look like an asshole. And my friend, I call him piece of shit. Piece of shit friend says, I'm looking at the money. Just bring it. I call my friend. He has to drive halfway to Humboldt to meet somebody because they started driving, gave him the box. It's not in a box, but in a huge duffel bags. And I meet him in Sacramento and I'm standing there with piece of shit friend and his gigantic fucking grower friend that needs this weed i'm in a warehouse there's a bunch of shitty doors and i'm thinking like fuck man i know you well but i don't like this and do you carry at the time no no no nothing a knife nothing

screwdriver if you're gonna steal it from me i'm not gonna fight you over money i'll get it back that's how i always thought i hear you you win this round today but i'll be back tomorrow so um my friend gets there from humble with 100 i'm holding 25 in each duffel he has 25 25 four duffels i carry two in he carries two in piece of shit friend is standing there and I go, so check him out. And his big friend goes, what the fuck is this? And I just like, everything inside just breaks. I drove four hours for this. Half my fucking day.

My reputation with my friend is now on the line. He tells me he's looking at the money. Let's go, because that's all he wants to hear. Thanks, man. You sold 100 pounds for me fuck yeah he appreciates you a big friend looks at me and goes i don't want this and i look at piece of shit friend and i'm trying to kill him with my eyes like i'm gonna fucking stab the shit out not for real like i'm gonna punch you I go, you don't want the 100 pounds?

And he goes, dude, I wanted to check out a sample. I don't even have the money on me. So my friend just straight up fucking lied to me. He obviously was trying to put money on it and make his money. He was trying to force this deal to work. A sample, and you all drove up on him. Turned to find out Giant Friend is a fucking industrial-sized grower. He just needed a box because this shit was drying And he goes that's $200 too high like I'm good

So now I'm like Now you got a drive back not even that I have my friend that drove I haven't even looked at him in the eyes yet because he's standing next to me. I'm just like I'm sorry I'm sorry cuz he told me like my wife thinks I am at the store. My kids are having dinner. That's what he told me. He's like,

this has to be fast. I go, dude, he says, he's looking at the money. Just come. He drove two fucking hours during dinner time. Yeah.

So as this happens, he tells me, I go, I thought you said you're looking at the money. He goes, well, I don't know what you're talking about. Why would I say that?

So I'm looking at my friend going, you're lying into my face in front of people to make me look stupid. I'm going to fucking punch the shit out of you. The guy goes, yeah, bro, these are too high. Like, I'm sorry you drove. So I pick up these fucking pounds and I start leaving to load them back

into my friend's car. And he goes, dude, you know, I'm mad, right? I know you're mad. I'm very fucking sorry. What can I, do you have to restock? Cause some growers will do a restock fee and it'd be $40 a pound. Like that's $4,000. I'm about to lose when I thought I was making 30.

You know, it hurts. And my friend says, I have to go to dinner. You're driving these back to my spot. And I look at piece of shit friend and I go, I'm in a rental, a red rental with Texas plates about to drive over the 17 Pacheco Pass, the Pacheco to 17 drug highway in a rental car. And I wanted to kill my homie and I drove with a hundred pounds on the fucking freeway. Oh my God. For how far?

How long? I was like two and a half hours. That's like two days. I've done it normally. But now I'm like in a red rental? That's the biggest don't ever fucking carry weed in a rental car without estate plates. You look like you're fucking selling weed. So Rosie and I just, I had power smoke joints.

I was so nervous. And I went, dropped off the weed, and I made no money, wasted my whole fucking day, and just gave myself a heart attack. That was the worst fucking drug deal I ever fucking was a part of. It really pissed me off. But yeah, I'm not friends with that guy anymore, so fuck that guy. And that's it man that was the worst drug deal the worst drug i ever had go wrong i thought i made thirty thousand dollars in five minutes and i didn't i was pissed it hurt me so bad and that was at the time where

my other dealer went missing so i was hurting like i couldn't i didn't have no weed connects besides the guy that only sells a hundred boxes. I ain't 10 pounds. He's not going to give me 10. Fuck you basically. But in a nice way, fuck you. So that was the worst.

That was the worst. What about turning down $10 million? Okay. So the more I think about this, the more I feel like, yo, you're onto something, right? So push trees push trees my clothing company i've started in 2013 i never talk about who the company is they're a very fucking large clothing company holy shit piece of shit friend is in this video is in this story okay piece of shit friend knows the owners of this company and they are 40 50 mil a year clothing streetwear brand

and i'm it's 2015 i'm a little living in my apartment six hundred dollar house trying to make my rent still because once i stopped selling weed i started doing instagram i stopped selling weeks i was like i'm gonna get my door kicked in but also it's like lose eight thousand dollars ish a month with weed or make videos I really like. And I just fell in love with making videos. And now here we are. So what age do you stop selling weed then? 22. Okay. So from 15 to 22, you went hard seven years, like very hard, obviously.

Nothing to show for it. Spent all of it. And then this Instagram stuff hits and you decide- And I'm like, yeah, I need to back off i'm in merced i'm gonna get my door kicked in or shot because somebody's gonna say yo he's got seven years is a long time to be in the drug game i feel like and never any kind of temps on your life or anything like that i sold weed to my friends that was it man yeah because when i say i was selling 10 pounds every like four or five days it's because some of my friends sell That was it, man. Yeah. Because when I say I was selling 10 pounds every four or five days, it's because some of my friends sell weed too.

Like, oh, here's a quarter pound. Here's a half pound. Give it back to me. All right, cool. All right, you want a half? All right, you want a full pound? Fuck yeah, sick. I'll get 11 pounds now.

That's how it worked out for me. But I'm sorry, I got off topic. Well, I was asking if you'd ever had any attempts on your life or anything like that but this was passing up on the 10 million sorry yeah the 10 million and

it's a clothing company piece of shit friend I'm at his house I don't take him serious he's a goof he's my friend though he's he's about

20 almost 30 years older than me though so he's an older dude okay but he's an established motherfucker he knows what he's doing but he did that bullshit with me with a weed yeah and I'm looking at this grown man like i'm gonna fucking

hit you you know i'm here i am 21 years old i'm gonna beat your ass you 45 year old man like i'm gonna fuck you up that's why i felt so like you're grown don't do this thing so he knows those owners i'm at his house i am just on my phone, probably hitting comments or something. And my friend just like this walks into the front door. Cause he was taking a phone call and he goes, Hey, how much do you sell push trees for? Just like that. I'm only two and three years into this. And I always said, no, I'll make a hundred mil. I'm never going to sell. I always said like, it's going to be worth MTV one day. I got, that's how I always feel. I still do. And he walks in, How much do you sell?

Just like this. So the person can still hear me. He just does this shit. How much do you sell push trees for? Nope. And he goes, so he says the company is on the phone. How much? No, no. He said, it's my friend I told

you about. That's what he said because he didn't tell me the company. You're right. Whatever. I don't know that person's name. He says, it's my friend. I told you about, that's what he said. Cause he didn't tell me the company. Like whatever. Yeah. Like, I don't know that person's name. He says it's on the phone. Like how much would you sell? And,

uh, I say nothing. He goes, fucking idiot. He walks out the door. 30 seconds comes back in and goes, would you sell for 10 mil right now? And I go,

Nope. Just like that. I'm broke as fuck. I go, Nope nope and he goes would you sell for 10 million i go tell him to suck my dick that's what i said like just being cocky motherfucker but i said like i accentuated dick hella longer than i should have fucking guy guy hears this. This fucking millionaire hears this kid. Tell him to suck my dick. My friend's eyes go.

And he walks right out the room, comes back in three minutes later, starts going like just yelling at me. Like, what the fuck would you say that for? You know what kind of relationship I have with these people? I go, who's on the phone? Who the fuck is? And I said, this is Nat's name.

Like, I don't know who that is. He goes, that was the owner. And he says the name. I go, who's on the phone? Who the fuck is? And I said, this is Nat's name. Like, I don't know who that is. He goes, that was the owner. And he says the name. I go, no, it fucking wasn't. I go, are you telling me $10 million is real right now? He goes, Thomas, you just fucked that up for yourself. And I looked at him and go, who the fuck says that shit like this? Peeking in the door.

Fuck you. And it took me 35 minutes of going, are you serious? Until I believed him. Because I know he knows these guys and i fucking i wouldn't have took it but i think you wouldn't have taken even fuck no no because i know what it would be so you didn't fuck it up then no but but you fucked if they came at me and goes so here's a check i would have been like thank you bro i know i would have i know i would have but i say i don't but if I know I would have. I know I would have.

But I say I don't. But if it was in front of me and the guy showed up, I mean, the guy lives 40 minutes from where we were at. If I knew it was real, I would have considered it more and kept 10% of royalties. But yeah, I told him to suck my dick. And then a bunch of shit happened. And they started going hard on me, that exact company. So I've had a big online feud with these guys for fucking seven years now because of this idiot man it's been five years i don't chill with him anymore okay good fuck that guy he fucked me out of a bunch of money

it sounds like it but no the reason why i'm not friends with him anymore. A third time? He fucked me out of a lot of money. And it's just annoying. It's annoying. The guy that owns ZigZag, I'm on the phone with this guy. He's a billionaire. I'm on the phone with him in front of my $600 a month house and Merced and my shit car. I'm like, I'm on the phone. Remember in Forrest Gump? We're sitting next to a millionaire. That's how I felt like I'm on the phone with a billionaire and then they cut me out of the contract uh two weeks later hint my friend went around me to keep my shares and then the guy uh stole the company from him so now the guy that owns zigzag owns everything there you go so there it is that's that's the other time he fucked me using the internet without express vpn is like leaving your keys in your car while you're running to the gas station for a snack.

Now, let's get back to the do. Tell me about the edible blackout. You ready? Mm-hmm. I talked about this one last year. I smoke a lot of weed. I eat a lot of edibles. I do challenges on my other channel.

I can handle weed. I blacked out so fucking hard off this edible. I was running a Pushtrees booth. So I'm talking to people, taking the money, taking pictures with people that follow our stuff, searching through bins on organized as fuck at a booth at a cannabis festival. I'm late. I'm driving from Merced to LA. I leave. I hate being late. I was three minutes late festival. I'm late. I'm driving from Merced to LA. I leave. I hate being late. I was three minutes late today. I was pissed.

I fucking hate being late. I didn't eat anything. I get gas, get back and go. I don't want to be late to my own booth and people are waiting there to buy clothes and I'm not there. That's fucking unprofessional. So I get there and the guy next to me, my friend,

he hired a chef. He's making medicated sliders, but they're putting a concentrate hash in the sauce and then putting it over the sliders. Okay. So that's what's medicated. But he doesn't know how much is going into these things. I walk up. One of my friends is looking at me all, I mean, fucking gone. And he warns me, don't eat them.

He warned me, don't eat them. He told you, yeah. He's fucking losing it and telling you yeah yeah he and he's he's a big smoker and i'm looking at him and i even told my here a bitch man up like you are right you know where you're at like you're at a weed festival be okay i i was just being a dick i eat three of those things because i was hungry because i didn't eat i'm like ah it's medicated. It's fine.

But then this other company I know brings me a plate of rice krispies and brownies, all medicated shit. And my friend makes medicated chicken wings at the time. So I'm eating those. And he makes medicated lemonade. So I'm chugging. It's everything medicated. Yeah, but I'm starving, man. Right, yeah.

And then the people that make the brownies make medicated empanadas. So I'm sitting here. I probably ate like four of everything. And I ate about five of those sliders two hours in like i said i've smoked my fair share of weed two hours plus you're smoking weed yeah oh for sure taking dabs all that stuff but that's like that's water like i'm just chilling the edibles is i didn't know. I'm sitting in my chair and all my hearing goes away. And I hear real loud. And I'm in a crowd of people. And they're all waiting in line to buy shit for me.

The guy they follow. And I'm just sitting here. I can't hear anything. And I start like, oh, fuck, I'm going to throw up. Oh, my God, I'm going to die. I don't know what to do. And then I'm looking across at a booth, and everything gets blurry. But the one thing I'm looking at, tunnel vision, I've never had that before.

So I'm looking at Rosie, because she ate everything I ate. Like, was she okay? She wasn't okay. She was having the same panic, but she didn't want to tell me. And I didn't want to tell her. That's what happens. I didn't know, but we're running a booth, taking pictures. I don't remember any of the pictures. top of this i really had to go to

I mean, wouldn't you? Okay, yeah, mom. If you opened a suitcase and some shit was all duct taped up, we're like, we're going to have to cut that up. All right, I didn't think about that. You're completely fucking right. Airport security don't give a shit at Sacramento, I guess. But I duct taped it. I had my American Beauty double VHS.

Remember the double? Too long of movies had to be on two tapes. So I took the tapes out, put the sack of weed in there, put a sock over the weed to try to help it. I put it in Ziploc bags, then the sock in the case, put it in my clothes. I'm going to the airport, and they do the random search shit to me they pull you to the side and she doesn't get to the thing she doesn't get to the uh

yo, you brought a zip of Oregon weed. Like, yeah, from this guy, Billy, I work with. My uncle hired this guy.

He found out I smoke weed and he sold my little ass as an ounce of weed. Now that I know, yeah, from this guy, Billy, I work with. My uncle hired this guy. He found out I smoke weed and he sold my little ass an ounce of weed. Now that I know, he ripped me the fuck off. But he sold me some weed. I did the same thing, but my dad's now dropping me off.

My sober dad's now dropping me off at the airport. He's all proud and shit. He's like, yeah, you're on the fucking football team. You're starting. Yeah, I'm selling weed. But he doesn't know that.

He's dropping me off. My dad's like, oh man, it's good to see Yeah, I'm selling weed. But he doesn't know that. He's dropping me off. My dad's like, oh, man, it was good to see you. I'm like, wow, my dad's sober and he's here. I'm going to jail because I have this weed. They do the random search bullshit to me. Again on the way back. And the guy searches all my shit. He's going through everything.

And I'm sitting there, ah, you know, the Ducks, like trying to say something about oregon right yeah and my dad's like yeah you know football he just thinks i'm having a conversation with this dude and they're going through all my shit i know the weeds under my blue checkered shirt i know it is it's in the same thing it's in the same bar i mean i'm bringing it back and she's uh the dude's going through everything everything everything, everything. And as he's going to two shirts before the blue shirt, I look at my dad like, slow-mo, I'm about to tell you what's about to happen.

Because I didn't want him to be like, fuck. I'm like, dad, you should probably step aside. I'm going to get arrested. You tell him? No, I'm about to like, so. I'm going to break your image of me real quick. I'm a fucking good kid on the team. And the guy gets to the blue shirt and goes,

ah, you're good, and closes it. And all the shit that was coming out of my body came back in. I was about to shit my pants. Like Groundhog Day shit. I thought I was gonna shit my pants. This is my dad. He's looking at me all happy. The first time in life he's there.

I'm about to go to jail. And I didn't. And I've been doing it ever since. But now what I do is I call the airline the day before I tell him, Hey, I'm gonna have two to three ounces of weed on me. Can you not touch it? And they, and I go,

can you forward me to your police state, a police department of the airport? Nah. Yeah. And I print out my record, my ID with my IDs faxed like a copied on it and a very nice note and i tape it and i tape i put the weed in my mason jars i duct tape the whole top the whole thing because i know fools will open it taking some nugs out fuck that

and i tape uh put my weed on top now my two piece of paper and it says don't touch my shit but nicely if you touch my shit get me off the fucking plane don't touch my shit but nicely if you touch my shit get me off the fucking plane don't touch my shit but very polite i've never been fucked with ever in life and that product's never been fucked with every flight every flight i do it to this day every single time i'm not saying do it and i always make sure i'm not going to like idaho or something yeah i'm going to at least a somewhat legal recreational state right another state yeah but that's what I do now because I'm an adult, bro.

Go take me to jail. You don't take me to jail for weed, I'll be out today. But as a kid, I'm going to die. I'm going to shit my pants. My life's over.

So that's airport smuggling. Yeah. That's fucking stupid. I don't know why I did that shit. Tell me about your first car, buying your first car. First car is in Oregon too, in Portland.

You ever been to portland yeah oh yeah you know 182nd street or 82nd street it's like seven miles of car dealerships yeah that's where it was so my dad's working up there i've been doing moving since i was about 13 just you know doing moving jobs with my dad and my uncle and i wasn't by a car, man. My whole life is I'm trying to get money because I'm poor. So this is right when I just started selling weed. So, oh no, no, no. It's about a month or two before I started selling weed.

Sorry. I go up there. I worked for a couple of weeks with my uncle. I make like 2,100 bucks-ish or 1,800. I can't remember. Come back for a month or two. I spend half of it on weed, trying to re-up and sell more weed to make money.

But I'm spending on other drugs and I'm down to like 1,100 bucks, right? Or 1,200. So my little brother, Martin, he's not related by blood. My dad had another family. She had Brady Bunch. He had three kids.

She had three kids. And then they had three kids. So I tell him, hey, I'm 14. I don't have a license or a permit. Let's try to buy a car. There's gotta be somebody out there that's going to sell me a car because I have the money. I need to spend it now or I'm never getting, I must buy drugs. So I go to 82nd or 182nd, two or three car dealerships basically polite me, told me to get the fuck out of here. I have a stack in my pocket they don't know this this little boy has a stack and my little brother's three years younger than me so i'm with a child with spiky hair and then just me with long uh no country for old men

style hair you know what i'm saying yeah that was me and uh this old white man i tell him like i'm looking for a car he goes all right like all right. Like, all right, kid. He goes, what are you looking for? I go, I got $1,200. And he looked at me, because this is the third guy that turned me down. I go, fuck this. And I pull my money out to show him, like, stop kicking me out of the fucking dealerships, guys. Because they were telling me to get the fuck out.

So I get it. I see this green Dodge Intrepid, 1996 Dodge Intrepid, green fucking, a Falcon looking car. I love that car. I'm looking at him like, Oh, it's nice. I don't know anything about cars. Like,

Oh yeah. New tire. I'm just trying to like small talk so I can go, by the way, I'm 14. I didn't tell him that, but he goes to get his wife, which owns the park,

a car lot with him. And then he tells her he doesn't have his permit on him. He forgot his ID. That's why I told him like, oh, I forgot my ID. Can I still buy it? And they did some illegal ass shit. She goes, he's got money.

She goes, then fucking sell it to him. They were old, like white couple smoking cigarette type of. I know them. You know them, right? He's like, well, fucking sell it to him. And she walks back in. He goes, all right, it's yours.

I go, all right, $1,200. And he goes, but I need an ID and proof of insurance. Are you fucking kidding me, man? You just said you'll sell it to me. So my stepbrother calls his mom. She always speaks Spanish. And he tells her in Spanish, like, hey, we need your ID. We're buying this car, but they need an adult.

And she fucking gave it to us. Like, I don't know why she did this man she trusted in us that you bought a car at 14 and then cash yep and then no insurance on it right i had no money whatsoever left and then my brother or did you drive it off the lot i'm not even done yet i get in this car i look at my brother and just oh fuck you know that feeling of like get the fuck out of here are you serious i have like a couple dollars in ones and change right oregon there's no taxes it was twelve hundred dollars i left with the car i hit the little and as soon as i do we both just start screaming as loud as we can like how have you

ever driven before um everybody in my family is truck drivers, so I've been driving since I was like six or five, learning how to do the stick, and my dad would let me sit on his lap. And then when I turned eight, he'd let me drive it by myself. Very unprofessional and unresponsible. I'm a fucking child.

My dad's sitting here twacked, like, yeah, you fucking drive. That's what was going on now that I know. So I know how to drive. I drive the moving truck. I know how to drive. I can, I drive the moving truck. I'm a kid. You know,

I know how to drive, but we're also seven, eight miles from the house and I'm a little nervous because we live in Clackamas, which is on a mountain. So we were screaming, hitting each other

like no fucking way. We have a car. That is insane. We had enough money for two spicy chicken sandwiches from Carl's Jr. I pull up in the drive-thru and I'm trying

I'm trying to look like no I'm old enough and the guy's looking at me like and he gives me my shit and I pull up and I get my food and I'm trying not to make eye contact with the lady

because she knows I'm a fucking child I look like a young kid now I'm 32 now so as a 14 year old I look a 6'm a fucking child. I look like a young kid now. I'm 32 now. So as a 14-year-old, I look a six. 10, yeah. With a fucking haircut. We're eating spicy chicken sandwiches.

I remember I'm putting ketchup on my shit, driving with one hand, and I'm just screaming, like, we have a fucking car, Martin! And I'm screaming to my brother, and he's looking at me like, yo, we just fucking got a car. I can't even believe it. Go to my house, pull up. My dad gets off work a couple hours later, and he goes, whose car? I yo, we just fucking got a car. I can't even believe it. Go to my house, pull up. My dad gets off work a couple hours later. And he goes, whose car?

I go, they fucking sold me a car. He goes, no, they didn't. No, they didn't. How'd you get away? I go, dad, your wife gave me your ID. And then I left. The guy wanted that stack so bad. He goes, hey, child, fucking leave with the car off my property.

Kill yourself. Yes. Good thing he sold it to somebody who knew what they were doing. But I remember when my dad came home, the look of like, huh, motherfucker. It was everything.

Like, yeah, I bought it and drove it home and ate chicken sandwiches in it today. Like going through the drive-thru by yourself was like the biggest. So when you finally got your license, was that your car or were you able to get another one? You did. I didn't get it until I was 18, man. Or were you able to get another one?

You did. I didn't get it until I was 18 because I stopped playing football because my coach was a piece of shit. I mean, him got into it. And he's a driver's ed coach. I'm a driver's ed teacher. Oh, no.

You fucked with the wrong guy, huh? I didn't want to be in the class because I knew he'd fail me. We hated each other. Like a mutual fuck you, but not saying fuck you in the hallway all the time guy that quit football huh waste of talent waste of talent all the time he would say that to me
