In South Central While Drinking Juice In The Hood! Higher Learning Reaction, Recap, Breakdown, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau take on Higher Learning, the 1995 drama directed by John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood, 2 Fast 2 Furious) that tackles themes of race, identity, privilege, and systemic injustice in the American college experience. The film follows three freshmen—Malik (Omar Epps), Kristen (Kristy Swanson), and Remy (Michael Rapaport)—as they navigate the pressures of higher education, racial tensions, and personal transformation at the fictional Columbus University. Some of the most intense and pivotal moments include Malik's struggle with his track scholarship and racial identity, Remy's descent into white supremacy under the influence of Cole Hauser's character, and the tragic climactic shooting scene that shakes the entire campus. Other powerful moments include Ice Cube's character Fudge dropping hard truths about systemic racism, Laurence Fishburne's powerful lectures as Professor Phipps, and the heartbreaking fates of several key characters that still resonate today. Omar Epps as Malik Williams (Love & Basketball, House), Kristy Swanson as Kristen Connor (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Phantom), Michael Rapaport as Remy (True Romance, Atypical), Ice Cube as Fudge (Friday, Barbershop), Jennifer Connelly as Taryn (A Beautiful Mind, Requiem for a Dream), Tyra Banks as Deja (Coyote Ugly, America's Next Top Model), Laurence Fishburne as Professor Phipps (The Matrix, John Wick 2), Cole Hauser as Scott Moss (Yellowstone, 2 Fast 2 Furious), Regina King as Monet (Watchmen, If Beale Street Could Talk), and Busta Rhymes as Dreads (Halloween: Resurrection, Shaft). If you’re a fan of John Singleton’s socially conscious films, be sure to check out Boyz N the Hood (1991), Poetic Justice (1993), Baby Boy (2001), and Four Brothers (2005).

We all need someone to make us believe. Hashtag, you got this. Thank you to Huell for sponsoring this video.
Starting point is 00:01:03 More on them in just a bit. Higher learning. Let's do it, people. Before we swing into it, I want to think prepper for it down these highlights. This is one of those movies. It's definitely a pain in the ass to edit down. Get approved by YouTube's amazingly loose standards on what's allowed.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Let's do whatever. Thank you. uh for adding it down and yeah we just watched higher learning our final film before we go into the opposite tone so central i just thought his first credit scene that's about to happen oh i'm yeah you're right mine's a bit of a head clunk here this was a fascinating film experience it was a fascinating one coy because it starts off you know it's john singleton so you're like all right we're going to probably do something to do with race and some capacity, and he touches some different grounds.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Yeah. He's talking beyond just black people, it's like racism in general and how that affects America in particular. He deals with white supremacy. He deals with sexual assault. He deals with sexism in general. There's a lot of different types of commentary while using college as, as you're setting for all these different commentaries to take place,
Starting point is 00:02:34 for these little microcosms of society to all be trickled around, which I've never been to college. But is that what college is like? Is it a bunch of microcosms when we're talking about the greater Los Angeles area? So I didn't go to college here. I went to a community college back east. And then I briefly went to a full-on college. But I was at college campuses a lot because my friends were smarter and had more money than me.
Starting point is 00:02:57 So I visited a lot of colleges. Oh, listen to these lyrics. It's about Dajia. Who did this? Who is it? Who is this? That's cute, but I don't know if it's like... Because yeah, these lyrics are just about...
Starting point is 00:03:13 These lyrics are dealing with... About Dacia and stuff. It was about the movie. Yeah, it's definitely cute, but I didn't know if it was like part of a... Like, if there's other artists because we just played that one sound cue. But the soundtrack was great.
Starting point is 00:03:24 But yeah, college is often like that transform. time to figure out who you are as far as like you know how pop culture sees it but it was really interesting to have that with so many different moving parts because that is real life like oftentimes college movies are about one thing because there's the the trope of like you enter college you figure out who you are to come out blah blah blah but it's usually like you figure out one thing in movies this was really interesting because it did do the different pockets of society and at one point I talked about like the nature nurture of how people feel comfortable
Starting point is 00:03:53 in certain pockets and how you know some of that is uh how you were raised, like the nurture, but some of that is, like, the nature of how society, you know, build you up. And also, like, nature itself, like, where, where you were raised is, is such a part of it, but then college shakes that all up, right? Like, you usually go to college away from home. So it's interesting what you find of, um, you know, familiarity and, and similarity and what you seek out. And I remember specifically, uh, going through every phase in high school. Like, I, I sought out change to see what stuck. Like, I, I, would go to every single lunch table
Starting point is 00:04:29 and like I would sit like here one day another day here another to here and then I had kind of that college experience that actually going to college like I quasi pledged at frats without actually attending the college like I would just be at college because I like I was on a huge walkabout of who I am for like years. It was trying to figure out who I
Starting point is 00:04:45 wanted to be and so to see a movie that addresses that to a scale that feels much more like real life versus like a writer trying to work through their shit like so many college films always feel like a writer's like, you know, I wish I'd done this in college. Or like, I'm trying to figure this out about myself.
Starting point is 00:05:01 What are my characters going to do? This felt more like what, at least my experience was in high school and college, which was like, I need to look at everything society taught and realize that that was someone his opinion and is it mine. And I, to this day, go, was that something I learned or something I feel? Was that something I was taught or something I believe? And to make that, the plot of a film is really interesting. i agree it's it's uh it's mainly just a back the college is just a backdrop for discussing these actual
Starting point is 00:05:34 bigger issues at hand and uh then you got lorence fishburn doing his uh furious with an accent dude i love i love professor furious from somewhere in africa i know right and it felt like got strong and then dropped but it was great like i liked the choice it gave it gave a certain um extra layer of intrigue to the the character every time he appeared but it also you know it was interesting to have a man who was educating have a little bit of just distance by having an accent i thought the movie was extremely entertaining in spite of how dark it is yeah how bleak it is it actually i found myself genuinely entertained by it because there's a lot of especially in the first half there's a lot of these like
Starting point is 00:06:19 drastic tonal shifts that would occur whenever you cut between characters but i do think by the end it all merge together. I had a really interesting moment where, and I didn't want to say it because it's a movie about racism, but I had a really interesting moment where I didn't recognize that the white girl was the same white girl with her hair changed color. I thought it was a different character randomly introduced. I thought the lead was suddenly a different character happening through the movie. So it was really funny.
Starting point is 00:06:45 I was like, who's that white girl that were suddenly followed around? And it was the same one. She just changed her hair. Because she stopped bleaching her hair blonde. I don't remember her hair changing. She was bleached. I don't remember the first half the movie. She changed after the, after the,
Starting point is 00:06:56 After the assault, she stopped bleaching her hair. Oh, I don't remember. But I was like, who's this new girl? Oh, that's funny. I don't remember that. Yeah, she had like bleached hair, blue eyed. And then after the assault, she stopped because I think she was coming into herself. And that was a beautiful metaphor that I didn't initially get.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Like initially, I was like, who was a new random lead? Yeah, yeah, okay. I don't recall that at all. Yep, she was just bleached blonde like the rest of them. It was looking at the white party society and all these blonde girls. And she was amongst them. and she looked cookie cutter like them I think the college setting
Starting point is 00:07:30 is such an interesting playground to do this in yeah I mean it's a microcosm of society but it's also like it gets all of society yeah and it's a place where people are paying or on scholarship to be going to and it's a place where it should just be equitable for everyone and and our two leads wealth inequality
Starting point is 00:07:48 united them but they still weren't united I like that there were so many pairs of people that like two people trying to fit in but not united two people with wealth inequality leading down this path, not united, and what that means for how this American melting pot is supposed to be. And you said something
Starting point is 00:08:03 interesting, like three quarters of the way in about you know, Jennifer Connolly being angelic. No, but like how you made a joke about you know, how different things are now, but how much they're the same. And you said it like sardonically obviously, but there was a moment where I was thinking about how I think the difference
Starting point is 00:08:19 is now when a movie like this gets made, it doesn't get a chance and it did then. I think we've gotten worse. I think in society? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I, I this movie, what it made me think is how little we listen to warning signs in life about anything. Look at AI. This is
Starting point is 00:08:35 30 years ago. Exactly, that's my point. We never listen to warning signs. It's like this is it's even a bigger problem now, despite whatever social warriors there are out there. You're like, I mean, it ends on a literal school shooting. Yeah. Yeah, and
Starting point is 00:08:52 it is worse than ever when it comes to shootings. So, yeah. Yeah, I don't feel like we learn jack shit. I'm fully planning on at least half the time homeschooling my kids because I don't feel like schools are safe. And this would have been, you know, scandalous in the 90s. And I'm sure it was. I was, I was seven when this came out. But I'm sure this was like very talked about.
Starting point is 00:09:12 But I'm sure in the 90s, it didn't have one Twitter and all the things that have amplified voices. But it wouldn't have had the ability for people to undermine it to the same scale as today. And I think that's the problem with like, you know, you just. said like you know social justice warriors there's such an incredible ability for people to undermine the power of words by by making the hysterical seem insane and then making everyone in an agreement with them also be like that so like the far right makes me think certain ways about all of the right the far left makes me think certain ways about all of the left if someone is is claiming something's woke i usually just stop listening to them but if people would be talking about this
Starting point is 00:09:53 movie today, everyone would be yelling woke because of the issues it's addressing, and it might not get the chance to, like, actually have an impact. Whereas this movie got to have an impact before that type of people got to misuse, ironically, a black cultural word. This is 30 years ago, and we still haven't. It's like a movie like this ought to have made an impact. I imagine the reviews on this movie. For some reason, I just get the impression the reviews of the actual movie. I imagine a really high audience score and a low critic score. It literally only has 2,000 reviews. Like, look how tiny that number is. numbers usually double digits yeah that's crazy yeah it's like this was an incredible film
Starting point is 00:10:27 i guarantee this came out in theaters unless it did a hundred million dollar opening weekend no one to talk about it to go straight to streaming well it's an ambitious art piece movie at the same time that is also again i i do think it's entertaining because of the um because of the way it's crafted like i feel like john singleton as a as a director used a lot more style with his camera than we've seen him do before you know right down to the running race what's that what's that called when you relay race is that what it's called like when you hand the baton like relay yeah yeah yeah relay race okay um even right down to that sequence i thought it was uh edited and shot with so much style and i like it where you're kind of getting some of the glitz and glamour
Starting point is 00:11:09 of the college life but then you're being unaware of the uh darkness that is brewing underneath people because the end of the day it is just a lot of individualism and i think The other thing it talks about is, now that I think about it, talk is a lot about masculinity in a strange way. And femininity. Like, they really let the two leads lean all the way into their identity. Like, the flexible femininity of her with the scene that confused me. But, like, the flexible sexuality and the femininity of, like, the softness there and then the masculinity. Yeah, like, I look at the both.
Starting point is 00:11:45 There's not really a conclusion there is that. But no, but that's what I mean is like, I love. like that they ended on the note of this disastrous shooting going down during a peace rally. Yeah, very on the news. As we're watching this rally, I'm like, I don't think he's going to do jack shit. And that's what I mean about when I said like the soul, like, there's nothing really wrong with being a social warrior. It's three very good words.
Starting point is 00:12:08 It's social justice warrior. Those are three things. There's a positive word. Yeah. But in the context of something like this where it could be like, you're reading this a little bit tone deaf as to the actual, we're not. really unpacking the real problem at hand here you're just building a sinking house on top of sand right now and to so to end it on the peace rally note is like might be a little bit on
Starting point is 00:12:32 the nose but i think clearly it drives home the message more yeah because yes we often do try to just mask um it's like okay there's divide divide no we have to do this is our way of doing unity but like no we have to really unpack what the actual deeper problems is in this movie is just saying like it's actually in the American system itself and the way America was formed and how it's been um overpowered primarily through the Caucasians to to where we're at right now and uh I think there's a is actual fascinating um weird this is like a boots Riley kind of movie to me oh interesting you know like uh in terms of the way they handle like a unique subject matter with it I feel like if Boots Riley made this part
Starting point is 00:13:20 it'd be a little bit more surreal and a little bit more heightened. Oh, yeah, there'd be a little bit more heightened. But I think in terms of commentary, I feel like they handle it that way. I do like that there was like 20 different themes like Boots Riley. I did, I did like that had like not just assault, not just, you know, femininity, masculinity, not just responsibility, not just racism. It did power, institutional influence as well. There's a lot like societal expectation. I really liked that like, you know, there was the ongoing commentary.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I like that Cube and Lawrence Fishburn were diametrically opposed. and that was making him torn until Tyra helped, like, settle him. And that was a really interesting, like, triumvirate. Like, the three of them was really, I don't know. I was really impressed that everyone's arc felt deserved, but I could still be mad at people's bad decisions, but know that the bad decisions with what they'd do. And not doubt the character.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Like, I think the college setting was also really good for that because you're so malleable in college. Like, when you're in college, you're such a piece of clay. So one person going, like, left and then right and then left and right is college. so whenever you know Omar Epps would like make a dumb decision like he would though and then like he'd go course correct and then he'd overcorrect and I really like that because in life that that does happen especially in your teens 20s I that's really kind of messed me up a little bit I that's why when you the credits roll
Starting point is 00:14:33 I don't like you talk about this now yeah I have to keep like pausing gathering like my thoughts here and my emotions a little bit because it does it does like leave like an impact I think Michael Rappaport was great in this movie I don't know how to say this. It will be taken out of context. Let's hear it. I was so excited for him to die. And like I think it's really interesting.
Starting point is 00:14:58 But I think it's really interesting that I, there's so much forgiveness and there's so much like growth and blah, but like not for white supremacists. Like, like, dead's white supremacist. I don't think this movie wants you to. I, but I feel like society wants forgiveness in its narrative, but not in reality.
Starting point is 00:15:16 And I like that this movie went with reality. like I really struggle with the fact that sometimes vengeance is the answer like you know I don't want Batman to kill but that's because he's an ideal I want white supremacist to die and so that's a conflict for me I think
Starting point is 00:15:31 I get you but I think this movie this movie one of the themes that I think John Zingleton likes to touch on and pretty much all the movies we've touched on a lot of it deals with responsibility and choice and they kind of call that out in this movie like a lot of what they're dealing with is responsibility
Starting point is 00:15:47 choice. At the day guy made his bed guy made a choice guy has got yeah yeah 100% and I think his dissent been something that felt like
Starting point is 00:15:57 a little sudden and like kind of out of nowhere in this movie when it was first introduced like okay I guess we're doing this in this film weirdly became a
Starting point is 00:16:08 a terrifying part of this movie and I felt Michael Rappaport's acting really sold the dissent like he'd be I thought he had the right note of where he started off as like long-haired guy who doesn't really know how to handle confrontation doesn't really know how to fit in toxamil that leave like he
Starting point is 00:16:26 comes across like a little bit weird but weird in a way that felt normal weird and then he becomes like weird weird when he's at the party he's asking questions like oh this guy's like really socially weird now because before he just kind of felt like you're a bit of an odd guy um like it goes to security he just seems like a normal guy actually um then he becomes weird yeah and then that weirdness gets preyed upon and then i think this movie again it's not about just being like yeah we should just be nice and peace and unity it's like we have to understand how these things occur and showing with michael ratport's character the influence that they were able to prey upon a very vulnerable kid reject nation i currently am on a very specific macro plan calories fat carbs protein
Starting point is 00:17:11 you know the goods and what's very fortunate for me some of the brands that we have partnered with are products that I've already been using. So throughout this journey, I want to keep you guys updated on my health and fitness goals. January 25th, that was 218 pounds. At the time of filming this one, just under 198. A little lighter than the last time I mentioned today's sponsor, Hewle, baby, that's right. I already had already tore it open because I just had one earlier today.
Starting point is 00:17:38 This is my own order. This is that I've paid with my own money because I love the product. It's been one of my go-to drinks on this journey. And Hewles, Black Edition, ready to drink is a complete meal in a bottle. It's packed with 35 grams of protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals, so you're not just filling up, you're fueling up, as we like to say. Here's why I keep coming back to it. It's freaking efficient.
Starting point is 00:18:03 It's ready. Just grab it, drink it. Dunzo. It actually tastes great. That's so important. A lot of protein shakes look good, but taste bad. This one, smooth, delicious, and no chalky aftertaste. Got low sugar, high protein, good macros.
Starting point is 00:18:15 fits into my plan without ruining any of my progress. The other thing, too, is I've got more flavors than chocolate, vanilla, iced coffee, strawberry banana, which is what my wife, Olivia, loves to drink. Or if you can't decide, you just grab a variety box. That's an option, too. It's affordable. Each bottle is under five bucks. Make it an easy choice for anyone looking for a quick, nutritious meal.
Starting point is 00:18:35 If you want to give it a go like myself, here's the deal. You go to huel.com, use my code rejects, and get 15% off your first order, plus a free gift. That's Huell.com code rejects. Fuel your body right, even on the go. Hopefully, you love it just as much as I do. And it was interesting because all three of our leads, if we're including him as a lead, the, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:54 the, the girl that went from Bleach Blonde to regular hair and Omar Epson and then him, it was interesting to see how much the people there around were impressionable and how much that zigzagged them through the movie. But again, all of that felt natural. All of that felt like you are the company you keep, like especially at that age. So I really like that we spent time with the friends.
Starting point is 00:19:12 we saw how things developed we saw how evolved and I like that we didn't meet any of Tyra Banks's friends really because she got to be like preserved like there was a clarity of vision with her yeah and then the other subject the part that I'm uncomfortable to talk about what I feel like each of these movies has talked about is how
Starting point is 00:19:32 like with Omar Epps's character and like what Tyra Banks comes in and they see that like they're embracing the level of violence that they just went down this idea of like there are certain stereotypes with this guy I don't really how to talk about it this is where I get like Mincy with my words here and I feel like it's happened every single movie
Starting point is 00:19:53 because they touch on it on almost every movie we watch of like hey we can't just be succumbing to the stereotype of like black people are violent dangerous people and stuff like that you know and this movie always portrays them as not being that but then there tends to become a moment where there's an embrace of no screw it we are going to be what society labels us to be yeah and again that that ability of choice and so you see the
Starting point is 00:20:22 consequence of that with omar eps of you know at that time when when the gun it's like when the gun is pulled on omar then he decides to go after him it's weird as an audience member i'm like yeah go kick his ass but now looking back i'm like oh that probably started this like crazy ripple effect of like conference like he got called a racist word that we can't say uh and that's where he went to confront remi and then he keeps going after remi uh despite all dangerous warning signs which leads to the and this was the path that tyra banks didn't want him to go down what i think is interesting that to show how far we haven't come is like what you just said of that that that societal thing is like whenever i hear black on black crime like you don't hear about white on white crime
Starting point is 00:21:06 so it shows how much we're still so racist that it's it's blind spotting it's looking for the causation and the correlation at all times it's ignoring the stuff that is just statistics and like honing in on a thing so like you know how many shooters are white how many white a crime is there every day so movies like this are are really difficult because it is saying a thing like in your face and it should make you uncomfortable because it's addressing stuff that is today it's not 1995 it's not 1965 it's not 1865 it's 20 25 it's still today because as this movie points it's out unlike the other movies it's just it's it's america it's the system yeah it's the american
Starting point is 00:21:44 system yeah and and that's why it's still today yeah and it was 30 years ago and it was 30 years before 30 years it's it's it's america you know and and we see brighter and louder how much it's affecting like it is a functioning system and i hate being part of it but it's like i i had a really interesting and this sounds like a name drop but i promise it gives relevance to the story. I had a really interesting moment at the multi-con where I was talking about how stressed this whole thing has been and how
Starting point is 00:22:16 stressful this whole thing has been. But it was with Kevin Smith and Kevin Smith and I were talking about just the world and how it's hard to make art and it's hard to talk about art when you have the world out there. Like it's so hard and he said something and it's so simple and the reason I'm saying his name and the reason it feels like a name drop
Starting point is 00:22:32 but I want to give him credit because he is such an artist to me and he is such a creator and he said well, like the way I see it, there's either destruction or creation. I can't control what is happening with destruction, and I will go insane if I look too much at it. So I've chose to be a force of creation to compensate for the destruction. And it's such a simple idea,
Starting point is 00:22:54 but since he's someone whose creations means so much to me, it has registered with me to such a level that I think for a few years since, like, 2019 or so, I've really just been overwhelmed by destruction, and I've really let destruction affect me. And something about someone whose creations I admire saying they've made a willing choice, meaning they have also struggled with that line. They're also seeing the world. They're also in this thing.
Starting point is 00:23:18 And since it's someone I admire and respect them saying they've made a willingful choice to focus on creation, because that's all you can do. When I watch something like this, I just appreciate John Singleton choosing creation, choosing something for me to understand a little bit more so that I can even identify for two hours what people that, you know, live this can go through so that I can, hopefully create this and and and and show empathy because i can't i'm not kevin smith i can't create um art to this scale or his scale but i can share in this art with you and and and just say uh fuck the system yeah two hours 35 minutes bleep the fuck sorry but um it just it hurts me that one nuff
Starting point is 00:23:59 would have been fine oh we complete the second sorry about that i got called out the second but i it hurts me that and it hurts me that we're in the system still to such a level that that this can still affect us. I would love if this movie from 30 years ago felt like a documentary from a bygone era. I would love if this felt like a historical epic and it should. But since it's not, I'm sorry for people in the system that are
Starting point is 00:24:19 the people that are not in a beneficiary position and man, what a piece of art about the brokenness. Well, at the same time one thing I think this movie is definitely, especially through Lawrence Fishburn's character
Starting point is 00:24:35 from what you're saying. By the way, It wouldn't hurt to just say, you know, a guy I talked to. I don't have to say his name. The joke came to my mind. Coizant security, Greg. Jokely and security, Craig. I got to make the joke. It's like, my kidneys.
Starting point is 00:24:54 It is like, I know where to punch. There it is. Can you go back and bleep all the name drops for me, not the F words? What are I was going to say? What are to say? Is bleep those? with that story have worked for you maybe
Starting point is 00:25:09 this guy man won't say his name but you know it's pretty prolific in the field of that would have been so much worse that would have been so smarmy and like you know talking to a filmmaker two and a half hours what he says when he says to Omar Epps
Starting point is 00:25:29 um you're when he's going on this whole race diatribe of what's holding him back and why he's being forced to run. And he's like, your problem isn't, he's like, okay,
Starting point is 00:25:38 your problem isn't race. Your problem is economic, you know, and that's a whole thing to one pack there. But what I like what Lawrence Fishburn's character saying, it's kind of,
Starting point is 00:25:49 I feel like what a fear he says as well. Is there is a lot of unfair part. The system is not fair. And so, and for a lot of people, what you got to, do is fine way and I'll even say sometimes for white folk yes there can be certain barriers as well and what always matters is you have to learn to to rise above the system in
Starting point is 00:26:20 some way I don't want to play the game it sucks it's unfair it's uncomfortable but like he says it's a game yeah it's a game and there are parts where it is easy to just know the problem know the barrier, but if you live in the blame, you're never going to rise above what the system is doing to you. And that's how you become a standout amongst the system in spite of it all. I've heard Denzel talk quite a bit about it. I remember saying like with his daughter, he was like, okay, if you want to get into this, you're a black woman. So you're going to have to do this to the max. You're going to have to do this. Like, you're going to have to be even better, even better. And yeah, is it an unfair system? Yes. But that's where the athleticism mentality,
Starting point is 00:27:04 the game mentality that they're talking about. That's why Timothy Shalmay wants to be agreed. Dude, I love that. As you guys know, I love that speech so much. Would that story have been as good if he said, you know, with his black actor and his daughter? Seth Denzel. I'm not going to talk to people anymore.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Guys, I'm not going to talk to people anymore. But my conversation with Morgan Freeman the other day. No, his quotes about that. I mentioned them earlier. He has some interesting quotes about that perspective. But I really love this. John Singleton, I really, really love his writing and his directing.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I think, you know, I've seen a lot. lot of movies about some of these things. I've never seen a movie that address this many things. And as well. Like, just what you were talking about, the, how you have to overcome the system and gamify it is a whole movie. Just like, any one of these segments is a movie and this is like 32.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Yeah. So, yeah, that was, that was awesome. Yeah. And I loved ice cube in it. Coy, I know you got to go. I got to go. We're going to watch, don't be a better. Coming up next, press the notification so you get notified of when we watch the opposite
Starting point is 00:28:03 tone film. Let's do it. Brian Perry. Brian. Brian. If I were to go to a college campus that reflected the bleak realities of the systematic injustices in the way America was formed, I want you as a roommate, I'd want to dorm with you. That's who you want to hang with. I feel like Brian Perry would be the right guy to dorm with.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Yeah. I mean, come on, man. We'd be eating Domino's pizza, drinking leaders of Sprite. Definitely. And unpacking all the woes of social injustice that plague our society even to this day. While taking certain gummies. Oh, to help us. Fatty rips.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Get there. And then shot, shot, shot, shot. Shot, shot. If anyone knows me, I'm comfortable. at a party. Yeah, can't stand, baby. I'm the guy you want to go partying with. Let's play some pong. Yeah, yeah. And the chug, chug with Brian Perry. Doug. We're going to get messed up, as they say. Right. Just like how messed up society is in the world we live in today. As we do debauchery to escape the painful realities of this awful world. Together, you and I, Brian Perry,
Starting point is 00:29:29 will mask our pain. Oh. And while John is participating and all the sexual activities we don't get to. That's right. I'm not so you're smashing, man. I'm smashing. Oh, you think that's funny, do you? Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I agree. That's absurd that I would be smashing. You got to find it funny if you want to learn from the maestro. So Brian, that's right. You've got lessons from John
Starting point is 00:29:53 on how to smash. Come to me, bro. I'm not going to do any more rules of threes on that one. Anyway, Brian, we're sad to lose my virginity. Can't we go to college. Woo. Thank you.
