But, you know, mom comes through in the clutch, gets me Brooks shoes. good stuff i don't know if you're running brooks yeah it's like cloud technology on right now dude this gets dude this gets the bitches wet right here dude yes sir it does there it is bro a6 that's a fucked machine i gotta be honest i think i think brooks tops them really yeah i think a6 i think the a6 are like the shoe of the past i think brooks is the future how much how much are they charging for those i got a good price on them but they're like Brooks tops them. Really? Yeah, I think the Asics are like the shoe of the past. I think Brooks is the future.
Starting point is 00:05:26 How much are they charging for those? I got a good price on them, but they're like $120. Brooks? That sounds like a bookstore. Well, yeah. It rhymes with it, so Brooks Books. So you got those? Do they help a lot, though, with your back and stuff?
Starting point is 00:05:41 Oh, yeah, dude. It makes like a... I went like a couple extra miles when I got him it's like a flat sole or is it more like jelly I don't really know how to describe it it's um I got big arcs my feet I don't know if I could get up on camera but I got big arcs in my feet So um I need like good shoes Yeah Like it's kinda like gross
Starting point is 00:06:09 Like my Like monkey Uh So Yeah it's the only thing That works for me I'm up to 8 miles so far So
Starting point is 00:06:16 Yeah Dude my toe is legit Like my foot's like This part of my foot's straight And then my toes just go out At like a 90 degree angle It's crazy dude They like come up you're saying yeah my toes are literally pointing like east you must blow through shoes there's just holes in the top of them yeah sometimes it hurts but like i think
Starting point is 00:06:33 it was back back in the day i had these like adidas shoes yeah they were like the coolest shoes ever they were red and white dude and i like would not stop wearing them even when my feet like got through them like adidas class i was like a size 10 wearing like a size eight and a half. Oh, just got all crunched up, dude I'd be like bleeding that like after a basketball game or something, but they were just so cool, dude I was like, I can't give her these cheese. When were you a size 10? What age was that? I Think like four and a half Now I'm like 11 and a half I'm still working on getting to 10 and a half, dude. I'm not even there yet.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Yeah, remember back in the day, dude, when people used to like judge you on your cock size because of your shoes? Yeah, yeah. Such a myth, dude. Yeah. There's some parallels from here and there. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:17 You could do a study on that. Yeah, I could. Yeah. Show up to like a Walmart or something. A Walmart? Go in like the fishing section. You should be like, whip it out. Someone comes by, oof.
Starting point is 00:07:32 How much is that bait? So 13.1 miles. That's the goal. You hitting the diet hard? I feel like that's going to be like 90% of it, isn't it? That's what everyone says. I'm honestly, I got to be honest, this is a lot easier than I thought it would be. How long can you run right now?
Starting point is 00:07:48 I went eight miles. That's like an hour. And I run at like an 830 pace. Like that's slow. I mean, it's decent for someone that's just running, but like any track, like guy. That's for eight miles? Yeah. Eight miles, I was more so close to like nine.
Starting point is 00:08:02 But I'd say like six mile pace, seven mile, seven-mile pace is, like, 830. I just zoomed two miles. So, like, the thing's weird. Like, it's like I do – he sent me the link to this thing. It's – you do, like, the first run's, like, two miles usually of the week. Then you do, like, a middle-tier, like, run. So, like, this week – today I should be running seven miles. And then I'm going to try 10, like, a couple days now from there you know what i mean so um yeah that's that's another thing
Starting point is 00:08:33 that's weird like i just did eight last week and usually you go up like one mile a week kind of like the max long run but i'm going up to 10 this week so that's pretty that's impressive i could do it honestly the website i only do like high intensity stuff so i'll only do like sprints and stuff and people are always like yo dude you running miles after miles yeah like dude if i ran two miles i'd fucking it's so different it's different i would literally start lactating dude dude i honestly don't think i could run two miles i'd have to stop after i bet you could do two miles if my life depended on it you know dude if i had like some Shania Twain going, like, amped on pre-workout,
Starting point is 00:09:07 dude, I could fuck that shit up. Okay, yeah. I bet Shania Twain was threatening your life. Oh, absolutely. If they were like, Shania Twain will give you a hand job and a track and trailer, I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:09:18 dude, I'll run two miles in 40 seconds, bro. My girl Shania, dude, she's still killing it. Yeah, her i see your posts you always got her never back down dude no but yeah man that's pretty cool dude it's i mean i feel like a beast after i do it yeah yeah i mean what i've noticed like i do high intensity stuff obviously it builds more muscle yeah whereas like you're trying to say well i mean dude you ever see those long distance runners who'd like actually run marathons yeah oh i mean you're pretty much eating your body dude yeah those guys are like pencils no i know i well dude i mean i've never had the issue where i was
Starting point is 00:09:53 too small so i figured have you been losing a lot of weight just like uh yeah i'm still probably i lost a lot of weight um going into like my sophomore year so I'm not there yet, but I'm pretty light. You used to be thick, dude. I mean, we both used to be thick boys. Yeah, we were thick boys. I was really... I still look like a thumb, but I was the fat thumb. You had some titties, dude.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Yes, I did. So did I, but like... I got some titties right now, dude. No, you don't. It's all... Dude, honestly, a lot of it's just the shirts you're wearing and stuff. Yeah. You can hide a lot of it dude
Starting point is 00:10:25 Black Yeah Wear black Dude what size shirt You think this is That's a large It's a double XL Really
Starting point is 00:10:31 Fits good Dude you know what I I was golfing with Nate yesterday And I was like What size shirt You think this is He was like large Maybe an XL

Starting point is 00:10:59 Yeah Izod's obviously a lot cheaper, though Is it? Yeah It's golf, too They have a lot of golf line Yeah I just I like the material
Starting point is 00:11:07 But I also like the idea Of wearing like baggy clothing Because I want to wear Like wicked baggy clothing And then one day Just take off my shirt And everyone You know has like an aneurysm
Starting point is 00:11:16 Like that's never going to happen But that's like a dream of mine Imagine being that guy though dude You always wear baggy shirts And then you just take off your shirt And you rip your sane Or you're fat? Yeah, people are just like, whoa, dude.
Starting point is 00:11:26 I didn't know you fucking worked out. Yeah, that's the goal, man. That's what we do it for. You just fucking, you yell, stay humble, hop in the ocean, dude, kill a fucking shark. I have a question for you. I need to know the answer to this. Why do you work out and squat in jeans? I don't get it. Is that what those are i'm going like
Starting point is 00:11:48 really heavy what do you mean like that's the reason to not wear jeans i think i'd think dude have you ever worn flex fit jeans what is it kind of like uh is it kind of like a knee brace type of thing like it bounces you back up that's the only thing i could just like do they're really like i don't even know man like i know a bunch of like like you really show up in the gym with flex fit jeans and a fucking collared hawaiian shirt and you just get after and you just throw up five plates like it's on each side like it's nobody's business i think it's just like uh it's just a mechanism dude you know what i mean because it's like it's something i'd wear in public but i'm just going to the gym you know what i mean i'm saving clothes and I know people are going to be like,
Starting point is 00:12:26 this kid probably can't lift two pounds, and then I just get after it, dude. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you tear it up. I like that. I always wear my IZOD polos to the gym, but as far as like flex for jeans go. And a winter hat. And the winter hat, yeah. You got the whole outfit.
Starting point is 00:12:42 What were you saying? Flex for jeans? I get after it, dude. Flex for jeans I only wear sometimes to the gym. Depends how laundry is doing. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Dude, if you're wearing flex fit jeans to the gym, dude, you better be hitting like a PR, doing something intense.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I got flex fit jeans. I might wear it to the gym sometime. I don't think. I think I look. I see. Well, you know, I was going to say I think I look foolish, but, you know. The only thing you have to worry about, not the jeans ripping, but I actually ripped a belt. I ripped my belt.
Starting point is 00:13:07 My belt actually snapped in half. You wear a belt with those things? Like a weight belt or a normal belt? A normal belt to keep my pants up. Yeah. And I went down for a squat once and just completely snapped the belt. Wow. Belts don't really do good with me.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yeah. Yeah. Belts really cut at the love handles for me. Whenever I wear belts, it's always like wicked loose. Wow. Belts don't really do good with me. Yeah. Yeah, belts really cut at the love handles for me. Whenever I wear belts, it's always like wicked loose. Yeah. Like it's like barely
Starting point is 00:13:30 keeping my pants up. Yeah, there's no point in having a belt pretty much. Because if you actually use it the right way, it's like you just got belly fat hanging out.
Starting point is 00:13:36 For us, yeah, dude, you get the muffin top. But if I don't wear a belt, then my pants are gonna fall down and that's kind of like.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I got a flat butt, so flat Stanley. Yeah, same here, man. I've been working on that though. I mean, squat a lot you know you'll get there a lot of it's like genetics you know what i mean like yeah it'd be nice to have like a thick fucking ass yeah dude yeah you know who's um yeah what's it called i'm not going there uh but yeah like, just thick legs in general. Just like tree trunks.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yeah. Just like thick down low. I mean, yeah, dude. I mean, my legs have kind of shrunk down, but I feel like they've kind of gotten stronger in terms of like, you know, being able to jump higher. Like I can definitely jump higher, but I think it's, I think I've dropped a little bit of weight
Starting point is 00:14:19 over the quarantine. Yeah. Like before, dude, my legs were so big, they were just like. Well, you do like just the craziest workouts. I've never seen anyone like you you just kind of just because not like as in like you just go and like you make use of like whatever the heck you got you know it's kind of crazy that's what you got to do dude yeah well i got kind of tired of people like making excuses when the quarantine started they're like oh i can't work out it's like you can do a
Starting point is 00:14:40 bunch of oh yeah well that's why i was like i'm gonna run i mean i couldn't think of anything else that i could really do i've been i do uh me and my brother we just do like a deck of cards too you would do that no it's like the black black cards or uh push-ups red cards or sit-ups like you flip it over whatever that number is you just do that many yeah so i got i'm up to like deck and a half two decks decks sometimes. And then the face cards, you make like 10, you know, jacks 11, queens 12, king 13, and then ace 25. Damn, dude. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Get like a bunch of like, about like 250 push-ups and sit-ups in. I've always had, yeah, I like doing push-ups with the band. I've always had a set of bands. I use that for like mobility stuff. So I could use that for like actual strength stuff. Get the hips going, yo. Huh? Get the hips going. Yeah, that's how we loosen up my hips, dude. That helps a lot, dude. mobility stuff so i i could use that for like actual strength stuff but like it's going you
Starting point is 00:15:25 huh get the hips going yeah that's how we loosen up my hips dude that helps a lot dude yeah those rogue bands dude if you put them right between your gooch dude i'm not even kidding like that'll dude that'll fucking you'll cause a renaissance but uh yeah i've been doing that the the thing that I got that actually helped a lot, dude, I got gymnast rings, dude. Those things, like gymnastics rings. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen those.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I've seen you. Yeah. Yeah, so I'll hang them up from like the goal post or like a soccer post. Yeah. And do like pull-ups with that. Skin the cat? You ever skin the cat? Yeah, I wouldn't try that by myself.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I skin the cat. Really? Yeah, at forecourt. You can do that? Yeah. I'm kind of scared it's actually not that hard really i mean you got you should do it like low to the ground because if you're hanging up on a goal post yeah you just because i'm in the middle yeah because i'd be like in the
Starting point is 00:16:15 middle of a state park by myself so if i like tear my labrum like or yeah like if i swing back too fast and like yeah like i could fall on my neck or something. You got a strong core, right? No. No? Yeah, I don't know. It's not like a flexibility thing. I never like felt it in my – every time we're at four core, you know, like me and all my friends are there.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Every time we're like, all right, here we go. Skin the cat. Really? Everyone get a cat. Does it like stretch you out? We just do it to kind of do it honestly just to skin the cat just to say
Starting point is 00:16:46 you skin the cat just cause we can yeah it's intimidating but you just gotta you just gotta go for it there's a bunch of ripped dudes on YouTube
Starting point is 00:16:53 and they have like specific videos that are just for like gymnast rings and they're all fucking yoked so I was like watching them do stuff

Starting point is 00:17:17 things yeah but uh it actually like helps a lot to get you stronger just because like you're actually like what's the stability thing right you're jerking off the air dude you know how they have the shake weight like that kind of works now yeah yeah but like your muscles are contracting in a way that they've never contracted before so you're literally just like fucking you know yeah i felt a sick pump when i did it yeah dude a lot of those things like the stability like even those bands like i feel like you can't really get that big with the bands but like you you can get, like I feel a good pump. You can get some shred zone. Yeah, you can.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Yeah. Like Gronk. It just gets boring after a while. Yeah, bands. There's just something about it. It just doesn't hit right. I wanted to get a kettlebell, and I ordered one like two weeks ago. Kettlebell?

Don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 00:18:25 You got to respect CrossFit, dude. But some of those gyms, dude, like. Oh, yeah. It's definitely not easy what they do. Yeah. I could never get like the front rack position, like your elbows up. Yeah. So my elbows would be like this.

Like specific like jumps or are you just like, no, like, so have you ever been skiing? No, that's good content. Listen,
Starting point is 00:25:50 you want a good video? You should get yourself on skis. That's so much as film it. Why? You think it's hard? Uh, yeah, it's hard.
Starting point is 00:25:56 I mean, I could just see, just send it into a tree face first. Uh, yeah, I mean, it's hard to just go out there and do, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:07 it's not like, it's not easy, but, you think skiing's harder than snowboarding though? No, everyone says this, it's easier to learn skiing
Starting point is 00:26:15 than it is snowboarding, but it's easier to like, get good at snowboarding, like, look good, you know, and like skiing like, takes a lot to like,
Starting point is 00:26:23 look good, and have like, a good form. Do they have like, different levels though, like beginner? Yeah, you know, you've been on a lot to like look good and have like a good form do they have like different levels though like beginner yeah you've never been on a ski mountain it's kind of like guitar you never heard like yeah because like i'm not trying to go right literally it's color-coded too so someone like you could you can figure it out green go green you're good easy yeah blue intermediate then black diamond you know it's
Starting point is 00:26:46 yeah so you pick up I can see myself just having like eight beers and jumping right off the ski lift yeah
Starting point is 00:26:51 are you locked in or can you just jump off the ski lifts yeah I've no I've never jumped off I've no yeah
Starting point is 00:27:00 why are you up I fell off the ski lift though before really yeah a lot of people actually kind of have that's like a common thing how high is it up well depends fell off the ski lift, though, before. Really? Yeah, a lot of people actually kind of have. That's like a common thing. How high is it up?
Starting point is 00:27:06 Well, depends on the point. It's different. I mean, there's times where you're probably, like, 50, 60 feet up. Really? I don't know. I'm not really good at this. Definitely. I think so.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Like, 50 feet up. Like, six and a half feet. But, like, I've, like, fallen off right at the beginning, which, like, people do. Like, you don't get on it right because, like, when that thing comes through, you know, you got to get ready. You know, some of these lifts, like, the guys are trying to hold get on it, right? Cuz like when that thing comes through it, you know, you gotta get ready you know some of these lifts like like the guys are trying to hold on to it and they're just like they just like rip some with it and they try to Like grab it so that it goes slowly into it. And yeah, the guy didn't grab it for me
Starting point is 00:27:37 Okay, whatever and I just went I just like went up and I just said like ski tips first Just right face right into the snow. Dude, but when you go skiing, is it just a one-time thing? You usually stay there for a weekend. So me and my boys at school, we would get an Icon Pass, it's called, and it's just ski mountains all over the country. We're not going out. We planned to go out west for spring break, but we were all broke, so we never did it.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Maybe because we spent 800800 on a ski pass. That's not that bad, though. For a season pass? No. We get our money's worth. We'll go up every weekend. We'll go up a weekday where we don't need to go to class that day. We'll literally drive four hours there, ski, drive four hours back.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Not a lot of people do that, like day trips like that. Do some people stay at like, do they have like Airbnbs or like log cabins? Yeah, yeah. There's Airbnbs. People get houses. That's the goal. I want to get a house. People have houses on mountains and you just like ski onto, like you literally put your
Starting point is 00:28:37 skis on at your front door and you ski onto the mountain. Yeah. I've always wondered how like people have time to even do it. You know what I mean? Because they're always like, yeah, I'm going to be up there up there like half the season i'm like you just like not go to work yeah yeah i don't know what andre was saying i'm like dude like you just stay up he well so yeah like him he he's like same degree i mean like there's like different like there's like the family trips and you go with like your family once or twice a year and you know like it's just a fun
Starting point is 00:29:02 time you and that's when you'd say like probably like a week or something like that but like me andre um remy started skiing a lot more snowboarding a lot more this year he used to do it back in the day he's kind of slowed down for when he moved to virginia but he's starting to do it again too but yeah we i mean we were like we'd get up there any chance we got like uh him especially my friends me and my friends like we would just go when we can because it's tough with a college schedule and you know you want to you know you still want to have fun back there um but andre like and his guys like they he would tell me stories like these guys would be just they would like make this mix like they look up youtube videos on like this mix of like just a bunch of crap in a cup and they drink it like before work just so they could like go
Starting point is 00:29:43 into work i think or something and just start like shitting their pants or puking like wait i gotta go i'm sick and because there's a storm that day and they just head up to the mountain really to get out of work they're like committed they can't just like fake being sick they're like yeah i'm gonna damn dude i gotta puke on my desk i gotta puke on uh sally over at the wonderful Publitude. You know, like, they can't just lie. Yeah, that's a sacrifice, man. I'll just do that naturally, dude. Like, dude, I fucking destroyed the bank's bathroom once.
Starting point is 00:30:14 The bank? On a Saturday, dude. I took a shit. Right. And I flushed. Dude, I flushed, and it wouldn't flush. So I clogged it. And then, like, you know how there's, like, that period of time where you just wait it out? You're like, all right, I'll just wait till, you know, you hear that sound go away and
Starting point is 00:30:27 then you'll try it again. Dude, I was plunging the shit out of this thing. You're lucky you had a plunger. Yeah. Dude, I had to go into the woman's bathroom just to get the plunger. So I'm like, I'm in a legit bank, dude. I'm like, oh fuck. Walk into the woman's bathroom, grab the plunger, come back, start freaking going at it, dude.
Starting point is 00:30:50 And then I flush it again and it comes up to the rim and i'm like it's over yeah you know what i mean and then i instead of just leaving it overnight i was like i'm just gonna try one more time tried one more time dude it just started spewing everywhere dude like legitimate shit like all over the floor you never try one more time it never works i don't know why i did it dude but i was like i can't just leave it here you know what i mean if it doesn't work the second flush it's not going down do they i had to call the maintenance guy do you work did you work at the bank i still work at the bank work at the bank i had no idea he asked me like 10 years ago or if you told me i was gonna be working in a legit bank i'd be like that's kind of cool though it's all right You ever think about robbing it?
Starting point is 00:31:27 No. I know a lot of people who probably do have those thoughts, though. Where they're like, I could probably take it. So you're just looking at it like... You're looking at the people around you. Well, I mean, dude, like people... I could take her. Dude, so there is like a lot of robberies, though.
Starting point is 00:31:40 So I shouldn't be joking about this? I mean, think about it. Think about what the media publicizes. They're probably not going to publicize every robbery. You might see in like a local, like a newspaper or something like that. But like in the shitty areas, like down the road,
Starting point is 00:31:51 like central falls, Pawtucket, like there's robberies all the time, dude. People. And the thing is like, people get away with it because the first thing you're taught, dude,
Starting point is 00:32:00 is like, if someone has a gun to your head and they're like, give me all the fucking money, you're just going to give them the money. And then that's it. So they're not like, no. So it's like if someone has a gun to your head and they're like give me all the fucking money you're just gonna give them the money and then that's it so they're not like no so it's that easy you're thinking what i'm thinking okay well that's yeah that's what i i mean that's what they told me they were like yeah there's like a lot there's like a lot of robberies that you just don't know about and they're in the shittier areas which i mean some people might you know guess but like the thing is like a lot of people get away with it yeah so do you have like a big
Starting point is 00:32:29 vault like are you allowed to talk about this stuff or is this like no no no probably shouldn't be talking about that i'm honestly just like the special guy in the corner like i just kind of like oh you have your own office and everything in it i have my own uh you call it an office kind of like a large cubicle yeah so you're not you're not are you not one of the people like i go up to like oh hey like i you know so like you walk depositing yes you walk into a bank and you have the tellers and then you have like the actual like yeah let me get the floor print of the bank i'm kidding good luck with that dude yeah no i'm okay let's not okay i'm cops you wouldn't you'd probably you might get 10 seconds into it like you might get into the parking lot and then you get arrested
Starting point is 00:33:14 like you wouldn't even get into ginger do they have so much security and stuff like that yeah we have like we have like legit like like keys that have like a button on it. And if we press it, like 40 different cameras come on, like the SWAT team legit calls in. Wow. Like I pressed it once. It's like the iPhone.
Starting point is 00:33:32 I thought it was a flashlight when I first started. So I was walking around people and just being like, hey, what's going on? And then all of a sudden there was like 10 different phone calls. And they were like, are you okay? Are you okay? Like what's going on?
Starting point is 00:33:43 I was just like, what? Yeah, I'm fine. I was like, who's this like you know what's useless is the uh iphone emergency thing have you like you've ever done that you take your iphone you hold the the screenshot button yeah no not the screenshot button the power emergency sos call yeah yeah that thing's useless it doesn't work well like i've accidentally done it a couple times and i just get like a voicemail like two hours later like hey just check it in is everything okay like what happens if i was like actually in trouble right there yeah i'm just like meanwhile i'm in like kansas in the back of someone's trunk and they're just calling me up like hey everything okay i'm
Starting point is 00:34:22 honestly man i miss getting in trouble yeah like uh that's that whole like you turn 18 it's like uh you know you get some legality issues dude we go a couple times and i would just be so stressed because i feel like john is gonna get me in serious trouble i mean oh man i think um i. I think I've done a couple donuts with you in the parking lots. I mean, that's kind of light for some people, but for me, like. Eating donuts? No, no. Just like driving, doing donuts in parking lots.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Have you done that? In your truck. Yeah, have you done donuts with me? Maybe in the snow. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, you know, like that's kind of like light for some people, but like little innocent Luke in high school, I was like a sophomore then. I was just like, John, stop.
Starting point is 00:35:08 John, stop the car. Stop the car. And the big flaming truck, dude, that's scary. Yeah, dude. We used to do like things that were so stupid. Yeah. How about when you did the, I don't think I was with you for this, but I think I heard about it. Maybe I was.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Didn't you like put like a flaming dick in the road? You and Joe, right? something like that no do you not want to admit on camera no i was with a few of the guys and like we had uh we had a sleepover yeah in someone's backyard i'm not gonna name who obviously but uh like it was off of the main road. So we would always sneak out and like play ding dong ditch and stuff. And then one night we were just like, we're going to take this up a notch. And that's when you know, it's going bad. Yeah. So I think we took like a, a water bottle of gas and, uh, we just drew this massive cock in the middle of the main road and, uh, we didn't light it yet and then uh i'm not gonna name who uh i can tell you afterwards but another kid we were with was like dude i'm gonna
Starting point is 00:36:11 take a shit in the middle of the dick and we were like dude how are you gonna take a shit that fast like how do you have that much focus and he was like dude i'll do it on the spot dude i swear to god it was i've never seen anything like it runs out in the middle of the main road. Perfect timing. Takes a dump. Dude, that would have taken me at least 30 minutes to gain composure, focus, and just take a dump in the middle of the road. Takes a dump and then just lights it, dude.
Starting point is 00:36:36 So there's a legit flaming dick in the middle of the main road with a shit in the middle. It smells like shit. So we're like watching from the kid's backyard and there's cars coming by and then I honestly swear to God there was probably like three fire trucks that came
Starting point is 00:36:53 like 10 cop cars. Oh God. And they had a neighborhood watch while we were still in the backyard. Yeah. So we were in a tent like laughing our asses off and people are walking around
Starting point is 00:37:03 the neighborhood with flashlights. Well they don't see the kids in a tent and like, laughing our asses off, and people are walking around the neighborhood with flashlights. Well, they don't see the kids in the tent, and like, oh, what do we do? I had no idea, like, how they didn't find us. And, like, everyone was panicking, and I was legitimately yelling penis. Like, for some reason, my mentality was like, dude, we should yell stuff, too.
Starting point is 00:37:22 That's what I mean, dude. I was with you. Dude. Anxiety, bro. I'd be like, oh, I'm going stuff, too. That's what I mean, dude. I was with you. Dude. Anxiety, bro. I'd be like, ah, I'm going to get a lot of trouble. And then later that night, this kid whipped out, like, a bow and arrow. Oh, no. But they were like wooden arrows.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Yeah. And he just started launching them in the air. Yeah. And who knows where they landed, dude. I was just like, yeah, dude, that's actually, that's actually that's even smarter man like we should do that yeah dude i uh i never did anything that crazy at night i um me and my buddies do you ever do the tv remote in people's windows no the universal tv remote oh universal yeah and you go and you change people's channels and turn their tvs on and stuff yeah yeah. That's actually a good idea.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Yeah, we used to do that with what I have. I think I had cocks, so we'd go and find anyone who had cocks on the street, and you'd just go in their window. But think of how messed up that is. An elderly person just sleeping, and all of a sudden their TV comes on. It just starts blaring. You're like, who's in my house right now? I'd probably have a heart attack now if that happened. That's actually a good idea though yeah it is and then well i got went
Starting point is 00:38:28 too far when i started like we went up to one house i just started like knocking on windows like i wasn't thinking that through like oh this is like straight out of ncis right here and we just would knock on one window run down the other side and knock on the other and just book it dude like that's like that's some horror movie stuff right there. Yeah, we had this one Asian kid who you know, too. Obviously not going to name them, but he would do stuff that was just, like, not going to do that, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Insane stuff. Yeah. Yeah, man. We used to sneak out. We would always, like, have sleepovers in tents, and then we would sneak out at, like, one or two in the morning. Yeah. And we'd always, like, pinpoint people who were just complete assholes yeah like people that
Starting point is 00:39:07 you'd walk by or like ride your bike by and say hi and they just be like this guy's gonna get it tonight jeff you better keep your eyes for it buddy do you remember when we camped out at the res me you dude that was a fucking nightmare dude me and you were cuddling you were so emotional that night come here ginger what was that yeah you were so emotional that night no i was not yeah you were cocked no no no that was uh maybe i was that was the only time we camped out in the woods yeah that was fun i had fun you see what i was like i was just like like holly like camping out with the boys right now. You're just like these freaking idiots.
Starting point is 00:39:47 I think that was like the second time I've ever drank before. Yeah, you could tell, but I remember cuddling with you in the tent. Yeah. It was pretty cold, dude. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:39:54 I was scared. That's why, because I was scared. Yeah, you could hear like animals and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:58 You could hear like oil paper and stuff. Yeah, you could just hear animals. It was like pitch black. But dude, we had baseball the next morning. Yeah. Well, do you remember what, that's what I figured it up Do you remember Nick? Do you ever have a Nick? Yeah, it was like rap battling everyone
Starting point is 00:40:12 He was just trashed and you just come up like yo rap battle me like no Nick You like you just start putting lines like I'm a put a whatever and then you just fall over We're like dude Nick you guys sit down and like what time's just going at someone and just midline, just boots on the ground. Dude, he went to baseball the next morning. Oh, yeah. Just left, right? He's like, coach, yeah, I don't care. Dude, me and Joe had nowhere to go in the morning.
Starting point is 00:40:37 It was, like, 6 in the morning. We had practice at, like, 9. Yeah. So we went to Eggs Up. Yep. And we're, like, still drunk. And, like, we sat, like, right next to the bathroom. So, like, the bathroom at Eggs Up is obviously, like, right next to, like, where people sit.
Starting point is 00:40:51 And, like, I'm laughing because I'm drunk. And I'm, like, I have, like, no, like, motivation whatsoever. So I'm just laughing at stupid stuff. And Joe's like, all right, I'm going to go take a dump, dude. Like, keep my spot. And I'm like, all right. Joe. Joe takes a dump.
Starting point is 00:41:08 So bad. And kept the door open dude so like when he opened it like everyone in eggs up was just like throwing up like dude it spread throughout all of eggs up i was like dude of all the things you could possibly do like you had to take a dump like that bad and we were like still drunk so we were talking wicked loud yeah like people could hear our conversations but i remember having baseball the next day and just being like shouldn't have gone out last night but yeah that was the start of it you know yeah then you go to college and you do it every night and not every night but yeah not me well i mean yeah yeah well yeah yeah you were in a fraternity, though, right?

Except for, like, I don't know, SAEs, like, the gentleman's frat. So, like, I guess they have, like, a good reputation. Like the feminist frat?

Starting point is 00:46:07 Yeah. You don't have to pull out if there's nothing to pull into, you know? Yeah. Exactly, dude. I mean, it's kind of like freeing, dude. Yeah. No, hey. I think that was my biggest worry, dude.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Power to you. Yeah, dude. When you're sexually active, it's all about just, like, pulling out and then waiting until the end of the month, dude. That's, like, half the battle. It's a guessing game. Yeah out and then waiting till the end of the month, dude. That's like half the battle. It's a guessing game. Yeah. Yeah.

But that's what it was like, just being in the frat life, just going to parties.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Yeah, dude. I mean, it's awesome because you just make a bunch of friends. And, I mean, I don't know. I think other people would disagree with this, but I would say I'm not, like, a real frat kid. Like, you met some of my friends. Like, you're just like, this kid's just, like, frat would say I'm not a real frat kid. If you met some of my friends, you're just like, this kid's just frat, frat bro, through and through. By last year, I was ready to get out of college. Coronavirus, honestly, was not a blessing, but I was very happy to move home.
Starting point is 00:47:23 I was over it, you know what I mean like living in like a house like down there like no one's like i'm trying to i'm a neat guy and you're doing everyone's dishes and stuff it's just like you get sick of it but like freshman sophomore year i mean it's awesome like you know you always got something to do on the weekends you just you just mindlessly just get plastered and you just have like a ball and i just i would just get plastered, and you just have, like, a ball. And I would just get plastered, go into the middle of the dance floor, and just tear it up. Just dance. Just don't talk to anybody. Like, find a couple of the boys that can dance in the frat, and be like, let's do it. Just wait for a good song.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Just drop some moves down, dude. I'm sweating, dude. I get sweaty. Yeah, dude. Like, people would be like, you need to stop. And I'd be like, yeah, man. They'd be like, nah, you need to stop. I've been to a few of those, dude.
Starting point is 00:48:02 It gets sweaty in there. Yeah, we had a couple. The last two years, the houses that I've lived in, whenever we had a party, I mean, because, like, you've been down there. Like, I don't think any other school is, like, serious as, like, you or I. Like, they put the garbage bags up and stuff. Like, it is just, like, a bubble. Like, imagine, like, partying in, like, one of those bubbles that you, like, play sports in. Like, the size of, like, two rooms.
Starting point is 00:48:24 And everyone's in there. Like, it's, like, a's in there like it's like a chamber in there it's a sweat chamber yeah dude you got people like working security and stuff that must be insane dude yeah yeah yeah you get i think it'd be cool just to like you get bartenders djs security ballet whenever i went up there like because all my friends were up there but like obviously i wasn't a big partier but like when i did party you know i i dropped some dimes yeah but uh what i noticed is like whenever i whenever i went to like any uh gathering it would like the girls would always be like oh like what fraternity are you in yeah oh yeah and that's kind of like unfortunately it's really like that you know yeah dude so if you're in a fraternity dude like you're just getting straight pussed you know i mean just by saying that like you don't even have
Starting point is 00:49:04 to be attractive you can just be like no it's no it know what I mean? Just by saying that, like you don't even have to be attractive. You can just be like, no, it's not, it's actually like crazy. I mean, like I would say, I mean, I know guys are even like that with like girls.
Starting point is 00:49:12 It's like, you could think someone's an absolute smoke and like you start talking to them. They're like, oh, I'm in blah, blah, blah. I was like five,
Starting point is 00:49:19 five flama, whatever, you know? And it's like, ah, well, you know, and then just like,
Starting point is 00:49:24 whatever, that's all it is. Like it just because of that. So yeah, it gets, it's kind uh well you know and then just like whatever that's all it is like just because of that so yeah it gets it's kind of what is that superficial is that superficial i don't know to describe it yeah it's very superficial but like i just like didn't focus on those aspects of it i focused on yeah i got people like i washed those dishes today i'm gonna let loose yeah yeah it's pretty much what it comes down to i mean i see like some well people don't know i mean people like you or i know but like i i spend a lot of time studying like i was i was a big study you graduated early right yeah yeah i graduated um
Starting point is 00:49:56 i graduated a year early but that's like what was your major accounting accounting yeah but that was more so like i took summer classes and stuff like that. So it's not like, I don't know, like, honestly, it's a lot easier if, like, if you just want to do it. Like, honestly, anyone can do it. You just got to, like, take summer classes, which no one wants to do. Those are pretty pricey, though, right? Or did you take them at another institution? No, yeah, it's pricey. I took them at URI, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:21 I just kind of went for it. Why accounting, though? You don't think it's boring? No, it's, I had't know. I just kind of went for it. Why accounting, though? You don't think it's boring? No. I had an interest. So, honestly, it's funny. Like, sophomore year, my dad's like, you should do accounting. And I said, okay.
Starting point is 00:50:35 And I started doing accounting. He was like, he's named all these companies. He's like, you should try working for this. This is the top 100 company to work for in the country. Good benefits and stuff. Yeah. And he was like, KPMG. You should try working for here this like this like top like 100 company to work for in the country like good benefits Yeah, and he was like KPMG like you should try working for them and Yeah, now here. I am. That's where I'm committed to know you got in yeah. Yeah, I did an internship with them last year It was great. No shit. Yeah, they're awesome stuff. Do you do there?
Starting point is 00:50:59 so I'm an auditor. I do audit so Some people like don't like auditors don't prepare financial statements. We're literally glorified fact checkers, like double checkers. All we do is we go through. We just test values, make sure it makes sense based on other business operations that happened in the previous – like physical receipts and whatnot of stuff. like you know like physical receipts and whatnot of stuff and then so my position sorry my position as an intern like i wouldn't i wouldn't do that much i would do so more so it's called like tick
Starting point is 00:51:33 marking so you're just kind of like checking to make sure like things within like a single sheet like line up with another sheet like a source document like where these numbers are coming from does that make sense so is there like another department though that like gets the actual source because you have to like reach out to companies though right too so you get like a whole so you know you're on your client so auditors you work at your client too so like like I would go to my client like I would I went to like three different places like while I was interning and like that was my office for like the week you know and you go and you join the team and it's
Starting point is 00:52:04 like usually like audit associate you know senior partner manager and uh while you're there so like you just like build a relationship while you're there so you're like one of the guys like usually the younger guys so like i will be doing this when i start like you'll go over and like hey guys like we need this we need that um usually they know what to get like what to give you you know what i mean like what documents we need to do everything but like for missing something we have an issue like you go there and you say hey you know i just think it's cool because it's like the language of business that's what they say and it really is i mean it is uh i mean it is a science isn't it yeah i got a master's in it is
Starting point is 00:52:38 master's of science so it's a science i mean it's just a fact yeah literally like you actually have to like pull from sources though like it's not like accounting class mean, it's just a fact. Yeah, literally. But, like, you actually have to, like, pull from sources, though. Like, it's not like accounting class where it's, like, just given to you. Yeah, no, no, no. Yeah, you have to – it's kind of like – it's not math at all. It's all about knowing where to look and, like – It's just, like, a different language pretty much. Yeah, because – well, it's not math because, like, you put everything in Excel.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Like, that math is done for you. You got to, like, figure out, like, you know, I mean, accounts rece math is done for you. You got to like figure out like, you know, I mean accounts receivable is off, you know, like where's the missing like transaction or something and you got to like sift through stuff and yeah, it's, uh,
Starting point is 00:53:14 you know, I split it at Excel. Uh, I'm pretty, no, I'm at like for like accounts. They're good. They're like,
Starting point is 00:53:21 they're the real deal, man. Like they like control F, like they got spreadsheets and stuff. I can toss in two or three formulas. That's about it. I used to make discounted cash flow models, like Wall Street prep kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:53:36 And just the shit the instructor would do on Excel, I'd be like, I got to go home. Yeah. No, it was insane. I did a couple of those too just this year. And, yeah, I mean, like they're pulling it from different sheets and stuff. That's what sucks about finance, though. yeah yeah no it was insane i did a couple of those uh two just this year and yeah i mean like they're pulling it from different sheets and stuff and that's what talks about finance though it's like pretty subjective you know what i mean yeah if you have an accounting major you can pretty
Starting point is 00:53:53 much do anything in finance for the most part or at least figure it out but like if i went into accounting i'd be like fuck well that's the thing too with account yeah it's just i mean i don't know my dad was always about like job security safe bet and a lot of things I did is because of my dad and I got lucky like I actually liked doing it because we
Starting point is 00:54:11 a lot of the big banks use like IBM software and it's yeah so he sells he does more so to like healthcare and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:54:18 places like state government like governmental things and stuff like that a lot of the other software is kind of like bullshit. Like it's kind of shitty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:26 But like, I don't know if you know like what host is. Sometimes you'll see it in like older like finance movies. Host? Yeah, just ask your dad what it is. Host or host?
Starting point is 00:54:35 Host. Like you're hosting me right now? Yes. That's what it's called. Hostess. A lot of companies use it though. Like you'll see it in like old finance movies
Starting point is 00:54:43 and it's like the old like black screen with the green lettering. Yeah, Old finance movies And it's like the old Like black screen With the green lettering Yeah yeah yeah Oh like Matrix Yeah Yeah like coding Kind of looking thing
Starting point is 00:54:50 Yeah yeah yeah Really But it's like very useful But it's wicked old Yeah But it's like so reliable So people still use it IBM is
Starting point is 00:54:57 I read like IBM is this crazy company They helped out the Nazis Did you know that? Dude I can't even imagine What IBM did dude Yeah Honestly man There's probably some crazy shit they uh yeah i read that in a class this year ibm uh helped out the third wreck is it a wreck how you pronounce it r-e-i-c-h anything
Starting point is 00:55:14 about the nazis dude it's interesting stuff you know that's a lot that's just something that people just throw under the carpet you never know that but yeah dude ibm's huge man but dude if you get into the big four, that's, like, a fucking huge accomplishment, man. Well, yeah. I mean, I'm happy about it. I mean, it really just takes, you know, just you got to apply. And I don't know. Other people go, like, it just depends on what you want. Like, I know people that, like, did different places where, like, someone outside, like, oh, it's not as big as a firm.
Starting point is 00:55:43 But, like, they're just as capable as me or you know probably even more capable it's just like finding your niche you know cause I'm gonna have a busy season
Starting point is 00:55:50 where I'm gonna be working like 80 hour work weeks from like you know really? yeah like mid January to like April
Starting point is 00:55:57 I'm gonna work like 80 hour work weeks oh so the tax season? yeah but we had to you know annual financial statements come out kind of in that time.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Because, like, most companies' year ends are December 31st. So you have to do, like, the compliance reports and stuff? Yeah, like, you know, we have to prepare the whole audit report. So we have to give our opinion. So, like, we're trying to get, so they're preparing the financial statements because, you know, they got deadline, because they got to release it. Because, like, you know, we do a lot of public companies and whatnot. So, like, SEC, it's real, you know, strict. I don't want to throw, like, too many words in here lot of public companies and what not so like SEC it's real you know strict I don't want to throw
Starting point is 00:56:26 like too many words in here I don't want to get like too boring but yeah basically I mean fuck them dude no I'm just kidding yeah but like yeah so they
Starting point is 00:56:34 like they're trying to get stuff in done and like you know we have to give our opinion and like we need so it's like it gets crazy that's some big
Starting point is 00:56:41 swinging dick shit man yeah it's cool I think I'm just going to be a janitor thought I was going to be a janitor no I think I'm just going to be a janitor. Thought I was going to be a janitor? No, I think I'm just going to be a janitor at this point. Get out. You're going to own a bank, dude.
Starting point is 00:56:53 You're going to be the CEO. Own a bank? Yeah. That makes sense. Bank of John. Fucking Johnny Salami Bank. Should give out John bucks, salami bucks. throw out Give out John bucks Salami bucks
Starting point is 00:57:07 I'll give out fucking Like sausage links Salami links dude You know what That'd be a good You should own a deli You ever thought about that Johnny Salami
Starting point is 00:57:18 I mean dude I wouldn't want to like Slice the meat But I wouldn't mind Like managing people Yeah that'd be cool Be like Jeff Like you gotta step your game up Okay I think you I think you could own a deli line and you could just just put
Starting point is 00:57:32 a big picture of your salami nipples on it honestly I just don't want to sell stuff you don't want to sell stuff no like getting the sales you're saying I'm already in sales and i want to get the fuck out of sales sales fucking sucks really selling shit dude at a bank you know how hard that is what are you selling at a bank investment products in a bank yeah so i'm like hey fuck fdic insurance yeah you should invest your money and lose fucking all you sound like a stockbroker yeah think i mean think about it dude the coronavirus just hit like if i if i made a huge sale yeah before it hit yeah dude they're done i'm done they're smoked that guy's coming in yeah the legitimate gun in like a week and he's gonna fuck me up dude yeah wow i uh i kind of just mess around with stocks and i got so lucky dude i just i'm trying to get a dog, as I told you.
Starting point is 00:58:27 And I needed cash because I was like, all right, I'm going to start saving up. I'm going to look to put some money down on some dogs. So I just pulled out whatever I had literally a week before the coronavirus. It was like a thing, and the stock market just crashed. So you bought really low? No. So I pulled out is what I'm saying. I had it back in like the summer i was just like doing something i didn't i wasn't like serious about it i just would like track it see like what's going on in the news type
Starting point is 00:58:52 of things that make it move up and down and uh i pulled out like a week before and i was like oh god yeah dude yeah yeah so i thought about buying once that hit yeah i just thought about buying like tesla buying like an index fund. Dude. Buying like an index fund, just holding it until I'm like 70. Yeah. Well, that's what I was in. I'm trying to go to a new platform to trade on, so I just sold that and bought it again. You know, weird funky stuff.
Starting point is 00:59:20 I mean, it's pretty easy to find shit to trade on. I want to get into day trading. That'd be sweet. But that's like this, not the dumbest thing, but like. No, it is. Yeah. It's like 99% of like day traders fail, but it's probably so addicting. Yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:31 It's gambling. Yeah. Literally gambling. I wouldn't want to do that, dude. I'm just trying to like buy and hold, man. I don't have time to keep up with the market. Well, that's cool. So I, so I work at Dirk and now, but once I get, if, if I get the dog, I'm just going
Starting point is 00:59:44 to be at home. I can't work if I I get the dog, I'm just going to be at home. I can't work if I, like, get this dog if I try raising it. So I'm going to have, like, two, three months where I'm, like, not working, and I'm hoping I have had enough money to save up. But, like, I'm just – I mean, I don't know if I'm going to try it out or not, but I figured I'm just – I'm trying to look into it now and just see if I – or at least, like, do, like, not day trading, like, aggressively, but I don't know. I just want to try messing around with it. See if I can do something.
Starting point is 01:00:05 They have a bunch of courses online that you can do. Yeah. TD Ameritrade, they've got some stuff. Yeah, I don't know how reliable. You can probably find better stuff on YouTube, honestly. Free information instead of paying for it. Yeah, no, this platform's free. Thinkorswim by TD Ameritrade. It's good. Yeah, it's all free.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Yeah, I wouldn't pay. I know they have like Market watch has like The simulated stock market So you can do that stuff And like practice on it Yeah but isn't that Don't you have to pay for that No it's free
Starting point is 01:00:30 Really Yeah Yeah that's good Yeah there's always that I go on CNBC And it's always those guys It's like oh Like Martin Foley
Starting point is 01:00:37 Like just found like The next like Like prime Like stock Oh yeah it's all like spam Like yeah it's like Oh like spend $300 now And you get like Inside scoop on it It's like yeah it's like god like spend 300 now and you
Starting point is 01:00:45 get like inside scoop on it's like okay it's like this is the next amazon i'm like all right yeah i mean if you have your um if you ever stuff with like uh fidelity or like uh no that was my fucking computer that's not cool man yeah but if you have like fidelity or even bank of america i used to work for bank of america and we had access to all of their reports, all of their stock reports. Yeah. Wait, so you probably couldn't even do it then really, right? No, I had access. I had legit Merrill Lynch reports.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Yeah. So if I wanted to look up information on a company, I'd already have the report there. I wouldn't have to do any research really. Yeah, but working for a company like that, could you not invest in certain companies like i can't invest in certain companies at like the job i work oh yeah i think it depends it breaches like independence that would be more so like insider trading and stuff like that but like me like it's only if you know insider information yeah oh so you didn't have access to that you just had like yeah everything you needed at your fingertips if i work for merrill lynch and i know there's gonna be a huge sell-off and I take advantage of it. Yeah, that's, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:46 That's insider trading. But if I'm just like, if I've just started with the company and I'm like, I want to invest, like I'm pretty sure you can do that. I don't think there's any, I mean, maybe some companies have. You might've done some insider trading.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Yeah, I have a bunch of inside information. Oh God, yeah. Yeah, man, who knows, dude. It takes so much time just to like I don't know man you ever see like technicians like
Starting point is 01:02:10 technicians like day traders like people who like analyze charts and stuff yeah that's what I've been looking up if you look at them dude they have like
Starting point is 01:02:16 it looks like someone crop dusted their forehead and stuff dude like they barely have any hair yeah yeah yeah you know that's why yeah
Starting point is 01:02:23 I just want to try it out I mean see that's the thing you can't try it out for a month like i wouldn't get any i wouldn't get anywhere you know what i mean like i wouldn't do anything i'm wicked conservative so like yeah books like uh a random walk down wall street shit like that yeah you read huh you read dude you try that day i saw you at the monastery i was learning how to read you remember that dude i saw you running dude wait uh when was that you were running with your big ass headphones on they were probably the size of the studios yeah i was running the studios oh man some old lady was teaching me how to read and you were like what are you doing here i was like dude just research man
Starting point is 01:02:59 realistically dude i was i was Audiobooks up until then Yeah Sheesh There was some good paths back there I should start I haven't ran there yet In a long time I should go run over there There's probably a lot of people there man Yeah
Starting point is 01:03:13 I heard they were gonna shut it down but Really? Yeah Yeah I wanted to bring Yeah I keep bringing it up But I'm definitely getting a dog Like I just don't know which dog Do you wanna talk about it? Kinda do Honestly You've said it like seven times I'm definitely getting a dog. I just don't know which dog I'm going to get. Do you want to talk about it?
Starting point is 01:03:25 Kind of do, honestly. You've said it like seven times. I know, yeah. I was waiting for you. What type of dog, though? I'm actually going to hear back today if I'm going to get a Bernice Mountain Dog right now. I don't really know what that is. They're like a big dog.
Starting point is 01:03:41 They're a big furry dog. I mean, you've seen them before. They're kind of like black with a little bit of brown here and white belly. And they have a little brown around the eyes usually. Yeah, they're really pretty dogs. So I was on a waiting list. I'm so mad. She emails me like four days ago.
Starting point is 01:04:01 And she was like, hey, get back to us in 24 hours. Our dogs just had puppies. Let me know. days ago and she was like uh hey like you know like get back to us in 24 hours like you know our dogs just had baby like puppies you know like let me know and i didn't email her back really yeah so i emailed her back like three days later i just saw it like i didn't see it like at that time and now she's giving someone else a chance to like how much did it cost uh like 2500 they're expensive yeah but uh it's gonna be worth it dude i want one of those big ass like bulldogs dude i that was the first thing i wanted to get was so yeah there's a lot i was going behind my dad's back for like since january the first thing i was trying to get was a bulldog
Starting point is 01:04:36 and like jared suze's dog i was actually like in contact with his breeder. Yeah. Literally was like, had first choice from the same breeder as Jared's. And I just, just didn't, it was like, they're expensive and I was just like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:04:52 I can't do that. There's a lot of risks with those, dude, because I know they have like seizures and stuff and breathing problems. They got a lot of problems,
Starting point is 01:04:58 dude. You have to like, they're so wrinkly, like they're so fat and wrinkly, you got to clean them every day. Yeah. It's like cleaning Jabba the Hutt. That'd be fucking awesome though, to have one of those things.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Yeah. Yeah, I just think they're funny. They're the funniest dogs. You ever seen videos of them? They skateboard. They're just, like, wicked stubborn, so it's, like, cool to hang out with. Everything they do. Like, you just tell them to get up, they're like.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Yeah. That'd be awesome. Yeah. That was, that's my, that's probably my, like, dream dog. I'll have one of those when I'm older. When I have, like, the money to, like, support, like, a $500, like, vet visit, like, every, like, month. Like, have one of those when I'm older. When I have the money to support a $500 vet visit every month. They're tough. Yeah, that's fucking expensive, dude.
Starting point is 01:05:31 But they're cute. Yeah. Dude, I saw this breeder, Iggy Azalea. That was their marketing. They're like, Iggy Azalea has one of our dogs. And their dogs are nine grand. I was like, yeah, miss me on that. Like, I do not care.
Starting point is 01:05:47 But yeah, they get expensive. Yeah. I'd probably drop the money though, just for like the reliability. What? Oh, that much? I mean, yeah, spending that much. I mean, you can get like 500 and like that's still like a high price. 900 is a lot.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Yeah. But man. Better than getting a dog from like the pound, like a rescue dog where you have to train and stuff. So that's where the transition went. I still didn't tell my dad, and then I went to go to rescue. And I started applying to rescues, and I was applying at Andre's house. I just put his address down, so if they ever did a house visit, they wouldn't come to mine.
Starting point is 01:06:16 Oh, really? Because my house was fine, but if they came through the door, my dad's like, what the hell are you doing here? He's like, I'm getting a dog. Yeah, I bought dog crates and stuff like that like toys and i'd send them all to andre's house and he was just hiding them there for me really yeah uh i got accepted for one dog but i turned it down um it was beautiful but i think my dad would not have went for it but basically i had to bring like a dog in that was like looked like a golden retriever type of dog be like dad like i did it and he was gonna i was expecting to fully have to move out for like a couple weeks but
