But it was mostly a predominantly black neighborhood, but we have a lot of thriving Mexican community and everything like that. You talked about your dad fighting your sister's boyfriend in the backyard. My dad was crazy. That's how you said it. I burned your house down.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Burned my house down. Quick recap of all the horrible shit. He was bipolar. Fight my suitors is what I remember when I said like that. And then, yeah, I don't know.

Starting point is 00:05:34 to them now they can have it whatever way they want why kirkland well you know i think that they just need someone like me like a brand ambassador i've never seen a better fit you know, I think that they just need someone like me, like a brand ambassador. I've never seen a better fit, you know, semi-violent, you know, kind of like. Yeah, that Costco feel. Yeah, but still, you know, can pass, kind of semi-white and, you know, do something like that, you know, safe but a little bit dangerous, kind of funny, you know. And that screams Kirkland.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yeah, this is just me. It just fits right to the soul no i mean it's obviously very sarcastic and but yeah i wore this i wore this one some i've won one post on ig and i was just talking to him like man y'all gonna get it you don't sponsor me you know what i'm saying just threatening them and then i went on tour and everybody was wearing these kirkland shirts, like, in the audience. I was like, oh, fuck. Maybe they do need to sponsor me.
Starting point is 00:06:30 No, you just turn those into Profland shirts, and then you fucking sell them. You're not going to sponsor. You borrow the fucking. Just take their whole shit. Take it. Start their whole. I thought you were a gangster. You take that shit.
Starting point is 00:06:44 You're over here debating with Kirkland. They see you this time. Mm-hmm. They see me this time, bitch. They see you this time. See me. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to plug nothing, man.
Starting point is 00:06:53 It's just... All right. Well, then, you know what? Tell me this airport story. I got so much shit. I got... Okay. Listen.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I just want to be thankful that I'm here today because this airport story is real. You're just asking me, oh, do you get recognized, da-da-da. Yeah. Yeah. I mean... How often? I mean, it's mean is what i was asking outside depends on where i mean i mean you know i just toured the country and sold out shows i know we can't see at the rocks he's still one of the most fun live shows i've seen i don't know how you do it it was the shit it was a really really good show in la so you know, I could get recognized in every single city in the country because I've been there 10 times performing. But, you know, Minneapolis is different. You know, like some markets are just bigger. Denver is really big.
Starting point is 00:07:35 The Northwest is really big. And it's just always growing, you know. And so that's why I love the mask mandates. I just threw a mask on. I was like, I wore the shit out of it. I don't care if I was getting sick or not. Put a hat on. And I threw a mask on. I was like, I wore the shit out of it. I don't care if I was getting sick or not. Put a hat on. And I was out in freedom, going to the zoo with my family and shit. No one was coming up to me. It was dope. So I held onto the mask thing for as long as I could,
Starting point is 00:07:56 just for that reason. But in LA, it's just people... I was at the comedy store. They just, what's up? Keep it moving. But anyway, so I'm in the airport. I'm going through.

Starting point is 00:18:12 Oh, shit, dude. All right, I'll trade you one because I haven't told anybody this. This is a story. So this tour is going on, this Night Pants Nation tour or whatever, and I'm doing my baltimore stop and um tsa has said that you're allowed to fly with an ounce of marijuana excuse me up to an ounce of marijuana in your carry on only great i have clear which ntsa pre-check okay we go right up to the front of that fucking line and i have my daughter with me on this this
Starting point is 00:18:43 leg because we're going to see family and shit so i throw a couple packs of joints in my suitcase and we're rolling through and they fucking this you baltimore or la this is an la going to baltimore oh what's me and my daughter guys like this you i'm like yeah he's like we need to see you down here. I'm like, fuck. I hate that feeling. I go, not this. Not now. Not with my kid. The last thing I need to hear is her mom say some shit about it. Yeah. My family's like, you're getting flagged at the airport with weed and your kid.
Starting point is 00:19:15 You know what I mean? I'm like, god damn it, Ryan. Why do you do this fucking? You make fucked up decisions sometimes. I'm the fucking weed man. Come on, man. So the guy's pulling me over, and he just opens the suitcase up, and he's doing the same thing. He's going through everything.
Starting point is 00:19:26 And I'm thinking, like, and then he touches the weed, and I'm like, fuck. This motherfucker pushed it to the side. He goes, here it is. All excited. It was my daughter's fucking hairspray. He goes, you got that? I said, oh. That's what I did, too.
Starting point is 00:19:41 It's you, bitch. You did this. I packed it, though. And I was like, oh, okay. I couldn't have been happier. I grabbed that hairspray. Get the shit out of this one over here! I fucking threw my daughter's like,
Starting point is 00:19:55 damn, my hairspray! I said, shut up, we'll get hairspray at CVS when we get there, man. Grab my shit, zip, zip, gone. That's exactly kind of like my story. I was dying inside. Dying inside. Not with my kid. Dying inside. Does she, I mean, she's not old enough to be like, you smoke weed or.
Starting point is 00:20:12 She is now. We just had, we just, what are we in now? So a couple months ago, it was June, I think, we went to visit family back in Maryland, Ocean City, Maryland. One of my really good friends who we've been friends since sixth grade, his daughter got a hot shot in Baltimore and died, fentanyl. And he came to visit. And I'm asking him, you know, how's everything going? And so on the ride back, we had to go from Ocean City to Philly.
Starting point is 00:20:40 It's like two and a half hours to get to the airport. And so she started asking me about what happened to his daughter. And I was like, and I just had this like, I could either sit here and bullshit this fucking kid or I could tell her the fucking truth. And I was like, are you ready for an adult conversation? She's like, yeah. I go, all right. This is what happened. And I told her that some good people sometimes make bad choices.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Someone that does bad things isn't always a bad person. But you're about to be in second grade, and I just know drugs are coming quicker and quicker. These kids grab a Percocet out of their fucking parents' cabinet. They don't know. Whatever. Or older brother, some shit like that. So, yeah, I told her the truth about what happened, and I told her about marijuana. I told her that it's you know um it's medicine i told her my doctor's the one who prescribed it he knows i
Starting point is 00:21:30 smoke it yeah um i told her you know i changing the mindset of yeah this shit isn't bad and evil this is the good stuff that cigarette you're smelling over there that fucking even booze you know trash that's what i tell her too i'm'm like, nope. So she knows I smoke it. She knows what it is. And I mean, we live out here, dude. There's billboards everywhere for it. What's that leaf? So you got to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I'm down with that shit. It's changing. Rather have like, we used to grow up with alcoholic parents whooping the shit out of us. Imagine if we grew up with like some pothead parents like giggling and cooking in the the kitchen playing fucking board games eating snacks yeah we wouldn't be sitting right here dude i'll tell you that no um you were gonna tell me some
Starting point is 00:22:17 high school shit i wanted to hear about you in high school oh yeah were you rapping back then yeah you were so when did you start that? What age? Well, I started probably freshman in high school, I started rapping. I started, I was on a track team. I was fucking lightning fast. I hated running. Fucking varsity right away. You know, running around on the track team.
Starting point is 00:22:38 People, you know, they saw me. I don't know. I was rail thin, but lightning fast, dude. And so. What was your 40? Do lightning fast, dude. And so we just- What was your 40? Do you remember your 40 time? No. 100-yard dash?
Starting point is 00:22:49 No, I wasn't good enough sprinting because I didn't have enough muscle. You were like the 400? I was fast as fuck in the two, four, and the eight. Two, four, and eight. So four is one full lap, right? Yep. So eight is two. I hate the 800.
Starting point is 00:23:01 800 is the hardest shit ever. Anyways, I hate all running. But anyways, we were warming up and we would just be freestyling and shit. And the very first time I set a rhyme where I started this eight bar out, I started not knowing anything what I'm going to say. And then it wrapped up perfectly and it rhymed perfectly. I was like, I just busted a nut. I was like, that was so much fun. That was like godly. I just made something out of thin air. Didn't exist. Poof. It was wrapped up in a tight little ball. And I was like, that's it for me. And then freestyling was like my fucking shit.
Starting point is 00:23:37 And I did it all the time throughout high school. And it was a way to keep me out of like, you know, the fast lip, fast tongue was my little knife, you know, walking around, you know, section eight type of housing, you know the fast lip fast tongue was my little knife you know walking around you know section eight type of housing you know people want it i'll get approached it's time to it's time to with the kids neighborhood kids it's time to steal this fucking bike man what's up dude you want to come with me it's just a series of bad decisions you know i'm saying it's like sometimes you don't have a great decision well maybe if i don't don't come with you, I'm just getting my ass kicked. So would I go with you guys on some crime spree? And, you know, they want me to hold a knife and shit.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I'm like, so rapping was like, let me just get known for just clowning on people and having a sharp tongue. So I started rapping in high school and I was I was a class clown in high school. And that's how I dealt with just kind of like navigating being safe. You know, a lot of people fell into selling drugs or like, you know, whooping motherfuckers asses. And that's how I dealt with just kind of like navigating being safe. A lot of people fell into selling drugs or like whooping motherfuckers' asses. Like I was always scared to hold a knife and shit. Like that wasn't me. So I just was a class clown.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Had people like me, you know what I mean? Rather than going and doing real. A lot of comedians talk about this. Rather than going and doing real dirt. You know? Then, oh, that's cool. Jacob, you stupid. You stupid ass motherfucker. It was like, ha, cool. oh, that's cool. Profit. Jacob, you stupid. You know, these stupid ass mother. It was like, ha, cool.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Like, that's me, you know, but yeah, the high school, the high school times was crazy. I was in, you know, the teachers knew me. They did not want me, you know, any class that I was in, especially with my friend Dar, Dar Yushak Bari. He's out here in LA. If we were in this class together everybody would transfer to come see us no yes they'd be like what they were like jake jake and dar are in the same class the class would flood everybody would request would request transfers just to see

I think that's what you want me to get into. Yeah, you called it Pep Fest. Y'all call it Pep Rally? I mean, my school was a Pep Rally. So, like, you talking about, like, getting fired up for, like, the big Friday night football game or whatever? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Yeah. But we were in a city. Our football team always got smashed by the fucking suburbs with fucking, you know, money. You know, so it wasn't Pep Rally or Pep Fest for us was all about just getting together and like i don't know school spirit or something no one was no one give a fuck about the game because we were going to get blown out 48 to 7 you know we had no barely had any fucking pads you know but pep fest it was like a school sanctioned fist fighting event i can't believe it looking back at it like thinking about this how we were talking 19 well i was a sophomore 2000 99 maybe 2001 2000
Starting point is 00:26:14 and they would separate the classes and you every class would have a different color so there's your fucking gang shit like you're those, those are the ops. This is us. We're blue. You're black. You're red. And I think I forget the other one. And we were sophomores at the time. And it was, we'd be on the track and field on bleachers and we would do some graffiti on a big, big, long scroll and represent our class. And we were sophomores and, and people would try to sneak over to the other side and tear down your sign
Starting point is 00:26:46 and so we'd be in front of our sign protecting our shit and i remember you know this year i was like this is wild like a friend of mine owen i never even seen him fight before but he helped with the sign and people were coming by and he was like all of a sudden i just look around and wow he's laying motherfuckers out we're all all fighting. I'm like, oh, I'm looking around. There's no, there's no teachers around. Like this is just going on. We're just fist fighting right here. This is just going on.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And so then I'm like, all right, let's, let's, let's protect this shit. And then one bigger girl came over and we were able to like all band together and lift her over this fence. She must've been 300 pounds. Over this fence and onto the track. So that's kind of like out of our area. So anybody came through like, and the whole bleachers were behind us like, yeah. So there's a couple of soldiers down here in the pit, like totally amped up. And, you know, getting a lot of juice from who's behind us.
Starting point is 00:27:44 And some people were coming around, and we would band together, do some fighting and shit, and then throw somebody over. This one guy came through, and he was dressed in black, all black. That's all senior colors. And he had fucking facial hair. So I'm like, senior, that's a new level, whatever. But he was little. He was littler than me.
Starting point is 00:28:05 And he just came through really, really rugged, pushing me really hard, ready to fight, like way in my space. And I'm like, okay, let's get this dude. And I remember being like, we've done this before. We were getting good at it at this time. And poor guy, he turned out to be a freshman, but he had a fucking beard and he was dressing all black so does i don't know if it really matters if he was a freshman or a senior because we were going to throw him over the fence and break his arm regardless of what grade he was in so i reached down there and i grabbed him like this and i'm he's struggling and shit and people enjoyed what happened last so now everybody wants to get a hand on it and it's getting more and more hectic
Starting point is 00:28:44 and we easily get them up above like this and it's not like three or four people anymore that all of a sudden like it started with just me and by the time he was like up to here i felt like there was 15 hands on the fucking kid and so we're like we're like now it's time we're like here we go and it was And it was the lightest. You know when you overcompensate for something like, oh, fuck. It was way different than just dropping someone over. It was like, boom. And all of a sudden he was, no lie, 15, 20 fucking feet in the air.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Going like, ah. I'm just slow motion. Look at him like, oh, my God. And he's going like this. And I'm just slow motion. Look at him like, oh, my God. You know, and he's going like this. And then he just goes, crack! Just lands like this with his arms. Tom Segura arm. Oh, it was a Tom Segura body.
Starting point is 00:29:35 It was a Tom Segura body. And then the whole place was just wild, really, really loud. And it was like, ah! And it was like, crickets. And all you heard was this poor kid dead quiet we all ran this is in the gang fight and i apologize to the school event yeah this is a school event. Yeah, this is a school event.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Man, that is ridiculous. And so I'm like, I always laugh. Oh, shit goes down. I'm like, huh? And then the police get come through. They interrogate everybody. And everybody, all the bleachers, just sees me turn around and go, oh, shit. I was loud. And so they just definitely singled me out.
Starting point is 00:30:24 And I got some big trouble for that one. What happened to the kid? Snapped that arm? He really fucked. Yeah, he Tom Segura'd himself for sure. He was fucked up for a long time. Snapped the arm in a few different places, and he was in a cast. I remember they would try to expel me, but I'm like, you know, too good looking.
Starting point is 00:30:42 So it didn't work out. So it was like really awkward when I would see him at school. Let me ask you a question. Did they get the sign? No, no one got that fucking sign. Sorry about your arm, bro,
Starting point is 00:30:55 but nobody got that sign. Tom still has trouble opening his hand. Oh man. That kid probably had problems for a long time. I ran into him again, just super randomly no i i and if if that dude i mean he's a grown man now i apologize man you know it's i never met him until that point it wasn't you know i always felt bad about that you know did you ever
Starting point is 00:31:18 get a moment with him yes i did it was so fucking weird i was in a doing some rap shit in some sort of office or some podcast thing a decade later or whatever. And we want to go down. The elevator's going down. And just me and my dudes looking all brutish and thuggish. I don't know what we were doing. And the elevator opens up. It's like, ding.
Starting point is 00:31:39 And it's just, I'm in front. And it's just him. And I'm just looking at him. And you recognized. Because he was a freshman when you saw him we both knew you knew who Root was right away
Starting point is 00:31:47 not a word was said all that silence and it was he got in I know I stood there I didn't go in he was already in there he was in the elevator
Starting point is 00:31:56 I was on the outside of the elevator let's go down and I was like uh uh uh and the dudes behind all my guys were like what was that
Starting point is 00:32:02 I was like ding ding that was it I I was like, ding. Ding. That was it. I saw him like 10 years later and that was it. So never a word. Never a word. The elevator went down. We went down next elevator and he was not there.
Starting point is 00:32:13 You know, I don't think he wanted to talk to me. You know? So. Yeah. Then, yeah. Then Pep Fest and Pep Rally was canceled in Minneapolis for like, maybe it never happened after that. You know? Yeah. Sorry about that, y y'all but it was definitely canceled after that

Now it's like you're at the Pepsi stage that's shaped in a fucking Doritos bag and with Kanye playing. There's no chance for new up-and-coming acts. That's a farce.
Starting point is 00:34:42 You know what I'm saying? It's just a fucking high-priced music festival with just lines and clout just nasty stinky clout you know so like you know i i did go there a few years in a row you know trying to grind it out and shit and just sleep on someone's couch and shit like back in the day and there was some cool shows um but now fucking oh i'm not playing south by south first time i didn't play South by Southwest. You're like, we don't have any offers. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:35:06 yes, but the one time in South by Southwest, we went and had a show in San Antonio. Cause I don't know. They were doing that too. They're trying to get involved in it. Eight tilapia for dinner. And that completely fucking destroyed me.
Starting point is 00:35:20 The worst food poisoning I ever got in my life. Worst salmonella or whatever the fuck it was. I've been there. I know what you're talking about. And there was a show that night and we just have a little rental car all my homies is with they're like you know we were young and active let's go do some stuff before the show and i'm like i'm sitting in this car i'm like starting to sweat starting to like get nauseous i'm like man i'm tired man man. I gotta sit in this car, man. So I remember sitting in the car and being like, just hot sweat, spit, you know, spitty.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Like, all right, now I got to do this show. And I held it down, the throw up. And I wish I can throw up. I can't throw up is the problem. Is that right? Yes. What do you mean you can't? A weird thing happened in high school.
Starting point is 00:36:06 You know, last time I threw up, I got really fucking drunk. I got super high and I like lit a ping pong ball on fire and tried to smoke it. And it was some weird whites. Like I inhaled it and I got really. That plastic? Yeah. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Some funny shit. And I inhaled it and I was like super sick and I threw up and I was really sick. And then after that, I would just, and i was like super sick and i threw up and i was really sick and then after that i would just my body was like shut it down and i've been trying to because if you could throw up that's a good start for some to get some shit out of you when you can't throw up bitch you're sick for five or six days you're shitting it out like it's gonna go all the way in your muscles and every single organ and shit and And so I did the show. I barely got over that show. Wait, come back to this fucking smoking a ping pong ball. It fucked you up that much, huh?
Starting point is 00:36:50 That plastic? Yeah, don't smoke ping pong balls. Don't do it. You take anything away from this episode. I remember I was just clowning. Hold on. Even as a joke, there's people out there just fucking holding ping pong balls. Like, it's serious?
Starting point is 00:37:09 Well, I'm fascinated by that. Of course it was a joke. I wasn't trying to get high. But that poison really fucked you up, huh? It fucked me up. Wow. It changed my body chemistry forever. Forever?
Starting point is 00:37:19 Yeah. Wow. So I know. Even at this time at South by Southwest, I do the show,'m like now we gotta drive back to Austin and I have like 7 shows in 3 days I still gotta ask another question what do you mean you can't throw up your body will lock
Starting point is 00:37:31 you've never hit to the point where it just fucking comes out I'm driving like come on I'm sweating I'm running I'm like please I'm trying to push as hard as I can but I get all the way all the worst shit about throwing up, I still do, except the good shit. You can't go there mentally and like start just tasting it and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Mentally, I want to. You got to focus. You got to dig deep when you want to do that. I've tried so hard. I'll coach you. I'll coach you next time. All right, just hold my hair back. I'll hold your hair back.
Starting point is 00:38:04 You got this, prof. Come on now. Think about waterfalls. Yeah, man. All right. Sorry. I'll stop interrupting. So I can't throw up.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I'm in San Antonio. It's fucking cracking. I'm like, I need to throw up. I know this is really bad, what's ever coming in my body. And I know I have like four or five days really hard work ahead at the top by southwest i'm like i need to find ipicac you know that shit that makes you throw up because i know i can't and i've never had it before that's just my only idea and i'm like yo go to any you know cvs or uh walgreens whatever the fuck it is i need to get this ipicac and so we like put it in the gps and we like it's like some party on the fucking

And then eventually, though, he like calmed down again. His eyes were open. And she was like, okay. And, you know, he was nice and calm.
Starting point is 00:51:42 I was right by the side whispering in his ear and stuff. Oh, fuck. You know, like, you've been such a good boy man so thankful that it uh it comes in and i'm like i had my hand on his heart and i was like that's it like and then now he's gone that was the second shot yeah the second shot was a lot quieter a lot more peaceful and how long the whole process was like 10 minutes like can you really feel the heart slow i felt the heart slow down no i was right there i was right i was like almost i'm gonna be right here with you the whole way like i want to know everything and it was and you felt it stop damn i was like that's it and then you've wrapped them up in the blanket and then i just carried them right out to her car
Starting point is 00:52:28 and where'd you bury them ashes oh yeah it was ashes yeah and so yeah i was carrying them my girl's like his his foot his foot is out the blanket it was like it's like way over there and i'm like oh shit i'm like whatever man i. But it felt good to like say goodbye in such a thorough way. And you were there, too. I was right there. It's not like you're on the road and you had to come back and hear that news. I was on the road like leading up. Like I was like, he's in bad shape.
Starting point is 00:52:56 I shot a. No, I shot a music video. I shot a really sad music video. It's going to come out sometime next year whenever it's called Tombstones. And it's a sad ass video. In the middle of the video, I got the news saying he was terminal. And so they were like, let's keep, are you okay? Do you want to keep shooting? I'm like, well, what do I need to do? Make a sad face? They're like, yeah. I'm like, let's fucking go. And so when you see this video come out, it's probably going to be a long time because we're
Starting point is 00:53:21 like six months in advance. We're working so hard hard but when that video of tombstones comes out you can be like oh damn that dude just got news his dog is gonna die so that's interesting but it was such a good goodbye to him it was so thorough and fucking sad so heartbreaking that afterwards i was like okay like i wasn't i was like at peace because i knew i just saw the whole process. There was no, like, second guessing anything. Like, I was pretty good pretty quick afterwards. How about you? How many kids do you have?
Starting point is 00:53:55 Are you comfortable talking about that? Yeah. Only on your show. I think I might have had a second one since I talked to you. She was pregnant. Yep. So how old's your oldest? Two and a half. Right now? Mm-hmm. now okay so you haven't really had to tell no or how do you explain that where's pilot
Starting point is 00:54:12 he still goes where's pilot and he's dead yeah he's dead he died he's not he's not with us he's dead oh pilot's dead pilot's dead yeah he doesn't know what that means but he's gone he's dead. Yeah. He doesn't know what that means, but he's gone. He's dead. He's not here. He's dead. Are you going to get another dog? Eventually. I got to have a dog. I'm a dog person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:31 There's just too much going on right now. I know. I got a lot on my plate, dude. I don't want a bitch ass dog that I don't like that is like running around doing shit. I want to be able to train it or whatever, you know? Like, I don't want having a nasty dog you don't like on top of a family i've i've i know people with shitty dogs like that fucking sucks they do suck so i'm not i knew we had a cousin one time and they were so shitty the dog jumped the fence and left i'm not even
Starting point is 00:54:57 bullshitting it ran away you don't hear that much dogs usually ran away from you i see him out here with homeless people all the time. My cousin was such a piece of shit, this dog ran the fuck away. I was like, that dog knows what's up. Deserve that shit. All right, so here's what I want to ask you now. As a dad, you're a rapper. You're touring all the time.
Starting point is 00:55:20 What do you want for your kids? They're certainly not growing up the way you did none of us none of our kids are growing i'm on i'm on track to do what i want what i set out to do with them is them just not needing to have to be tough you know like i want them to be resilient as fuck but i don't want them to have to fucking have to shank motherfuckers you know like just mentally be as nasty as i've been coming up you know what i mean like um because you get into trouble and whatever like i want them to be able to um flourish and do whatever they want like follow their interests you know what i mean and not have to fucking worry about like the shit that i did you
Starting point is 00:56:03 know and not having like i mean there's days waking up like man i i think i need to whoop this dude's ass i think i need to prove to these people or i need to do that like i think i would like them to wake up and be like um i can't wait to go to fucking basketball practice or something you know like yeah there's days i would wake up like where's my meal coming from today where am I sleeping tonight? My kids never got to worry about that shit. Yeah. I mean, my mom, I definitely have memories of popcorn for dinner. You know, like this is it, you know, lots of hamburger, boiled hot dogs and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:56:35 But yeah, it's not going to be like that for them already. You know, so I don't know what will happen with some teenagers and shit, especially when when they see what the fuck all the videos have been fucking pops on online doing all this wild shit but you know then again i could tell them like man like my circumstances were different you know and they have episodes like this to listen to to really figure out who you are too if they don't have this conversation i'll fucking tell them yeah you know what i mean like you're straight with them yeah i mean i know my son's gonna be fucking stronger than me but if he's smarter than me then i'm fucked you know what i mean then then i'll probably just go out for a carton of cigarettes and never come back you know what i mean like what's gonna happen
Starting point is 00:57:21 if you get in an argument with with your child about some sort of and then they, like, box you in a corner or something. My daughter already does it to me. Fuck, you're already smarter than me. God damn it. But you said – I say, you know what I'm going to do? Because she's not wrong either. I know. Listen to me.
Starting point is 00:57:35 I'm going to start repeating back what you said. And then every time you say something wrong, I'm going to see. And eventually we're going to hit the point where you fucking can't stand it either that's what we're gonna do yeah and she'll do that to me but you said but you said and i'm like yeah i always want to try to have these conversations i'm like all right because i promised her two things i would never say because i said so i hated that i hated being treated like that as a kid that just means for no fucking reason other than i want to be dominant over your power trip and yeah and i don't why why not just tell me
Starting point is 00:58:09 okay because i know i'm losing instead of that because i care about you right because this is what and the other thing i promised her and i won't do it is um lick a napkin and fucking wipe her face i'm fucking oh my fucking god she's like mom does that to me like that fucking stank spit all up on your face i ain't gonna do that to you my sister told me she was like the number one thing she wanted and i man it resonated with me and so i take it too she was like i just growing up i don't want to have to fucking clip coupons coupons and just you know balance a checkbook and add every single penny take things off of the cart and and you and, you know, cause that's, that's how we went grocery shopping for, you know, the whole time. And, and that really pissed her off and we're not pissed her off, but it was,
Starting point is 00:58:52 it's, it's, it's sad to take food away, you know, when you're grocery shopping. And that happened every time I went grocery shopping, there was always something, you know, this is, we're buying $74. I have $74 cash here, or I've $74 in my checking account, my mama, and then she'd have to balance that shit. And like, boom, that's it. You need to be careful. You can't fucking go one penny over or that shit bounce. That's, you know, so it's good to be like, not have to check prices and groceries. I still check them prices and fucking everything else. I'm not buying no fucking $70 T-shirt or something like that. But as far as like if some oranges are a little, you know.
Starting point is 00:59:33 So that's a good goal too. I always was embarrassed that I had holes in my socks, underwear, shit like that. And I promise myself to this day. I mean, my sock drawer is overflowing like a motherfucker and if i pull one up and it's got a hole up on the side of it it's gone yeah gone i'm the freshest cleanest shit my dog oh nothing like a fresh clean pair of socks i read somewhere the foo fighters i feel like had that in their rider like everywhere they went it was a
