And now back and broker than ever. Broke Boys from Fresno catching his goodbye. We make it out alive. I'll never leave my dogs behind. We stick together like we signed. We shooting stars, one of a kind. We undefeated, just resign. Money more lower than a piece nowadays our dicks.
Speaker 2:Treat us like dog yeah and I I've had I'm really close with one of my guys, one of my story guys, that I deliver on ts, and he is the type to be like oh bro, just text me when you get here and then, when you bring it here, he has a particular way how he wants his order.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So no matter if it has the same date or if it's something that's similar, so for us we have to rotate. So I don't know if you guys know this, but for Coors Light it expires in three months.
Speaker 3:Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what the fuck? Their beer expires in three months.
Speaker 4:That's like a hella short shelf time. Yeah, that's wild.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So if any type of American beer like Coors Light, bud Light, bud Light, budweiser, pay attention to the dates, damn, because there's some people that I know and there's some stores that I do that and they don't fucking do their job, they don't change it out, ooh yeah. And then I never knew that beer expired, like when I started working there.
Speaker 4:Yeah, because most alcohol, the higher the proof is when it gets older.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I didn't know that it expired Right, so that was new to me when I started working there. But for American beer it's three months, for Mexican beer it's six months, so they got a little bit longer. So those you can respect.
Speaker 4:We were double up on the American yeah.
Speaker 3:So is it just anything that's imported is more preservatives in it?
Speaker 4:I would say so. It's more natural, yeah.
Speaker 3:It's America that has more preservatives, which is crazy because he's doing the opposite.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so, um, so, like I said, he has his store a particular way. So for the mexican beer, if it has same dates, he's still like, hey, I want you to move this and then bring the new product and then build it up high. Okay, and he, and he has a lot of room. There's some stories that don't got the room at all. Yeah, but this dude he has the room and he's so kind and he's so nice. I've dealt with other store guys that are like straight dicks and straight slaves, like they'll sit there and they'll look at you in the cold box while you're working, and sometimes I'll be like they'll be next to me. I've had a, I've had a dude that was next to me the whole time and he was watching and he was like no, no, don't do that, do this, do that, and he was like micromanaging me so then I was just like so then I looked at him.
Speaker 2:I was just like, hey, bro, since you're gonna be in the way, I started tossing him a case and I was like go ahead. I was like stock up the shelves, make yourself useful here in here bro, and he just looked at me like I was like go ahead, start but like he not paying you to get it done.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so you know what I'm saying. How are you gonna boss you around?
Speaker 4:exactly that's crazy, bro that boy ain't signing your paychecks right.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So it's just, it's, it's for me, it's just like I hate dealing with those people because you don't want to, you don't want to tell them off, and then there's only a certain extent that what you could say as a driver, professionally too, yeah. So I'll take this one as an example. I had this dude he's not my regular store guy, but he's in my area Right In Hanford and his store he's notorious to be known as like hey, if you don't do it my way, then you can get your product and you get the fuck out. That's how he's known for.
Speaker 2:And um, and one day that I was delivering to there he took about seven, eight pallets, so about roughly like around 560 something cases, damn, and that's a shit ton of beer. Yeah, it's a shit ton of beer. And he has back, he has a back room for it, and then he has his cold box, right. So for us we have to put stuff in the cold box and then whatever doesn't fit in the cold box, you put it in the back storage, right? And they always do like promotional sales. So at the time they were doing Coors Light, so Coors Light 18 cans there was a huge promotion, so this dude literally had like 250 cases of just corey's, like 18 cheeses. So there's a limited amount of space that I can bring the pallet jack in and I can leave it. You want to bring it as close as you can to the door, so that way it's easier yeah, you know for us to down, stack and for us to work it.
Speaker 2:So I put all the pallets where I think is best and close enough so I can make it work, right. Dude comes out and he's like who's driver? I was like, oh, what's up, man? He's like, hey, man, if you're gonna be my delivery driver, he's like don't ever put your pallets over here or over here. He was like I want them all right here, right by here. He was like I want them all right here, right by the door. I was like you want all seven, you want all eight pallets right by your door.
Speaker 2:I was like I ain't got room to downsize Because you got to have room to fucking put everything down, right, you know. And I leave a lot of gaps for that purpose, right. And he was just like no, like, if you're not going to do it my way, you can go ahead and load up the beer and take it with you. And I was just like well, I mean, that's up to you, like, I don't care. I was like you want to reject the load? You can reject the load and you have to establish that like almost authority of, like hey, you ain't got that authority over me. And hey, this order might even come back it.
Speaker 2:It's not gonna get delivered tomorrow I guarantee you that you're gonna get pissed off that you don't have a beer for a whole week, exactly so he looked at me and he was just like no, he was just like what you don't understand is that people can come and they can steal the beer and all this other stuff, right, and he gives me this, this whole scenario about people stealing beer, and that he can't do nothing about it.
Speaker 2:I was just like dude, you got cameras I was like if somebody really wants to be desperately to take the beer, you could report it. I was like, and I take it off my invoice. I was like you're not getting charged for it, nothing's gonna happen it gets reported, and then we could go that route. Right, but you're not getting charged for that product anyways, right? So he still was just like. No, like that's not how this works. I'm paying you to come, do and fix my stores right and I was just like no.
Speaker 2:I was like no, that's where I'm gonna stop you, right there, bro. I was like you're not gonna think that you have some power over me. That's not how this goes, right. I'm just your driver, I'm just delivering it. You're not my usual store. I was like and you need to, you need to talk to me with some respect, bro, right? And he was just like no. He was just like no. He was just like you people referring to Mexicans. He was like you people work for me. What was he?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Indian, hindu, I don't know. And again, don't come at me for being racist or anything like that. I'm just saying the ethnicity and when he said that comment it made sense for what he was saying. That comment it made sense for the for what he was saying. But I I don't. I didn't take it fully offensive because his whole staff he had people kitchen like they were all mexican ladies but I was like you people and that kept playing in my head yeah, I was just like dog, there's no way.
Speaker 2:And I looked at my helper and I was just like there's no way. This motherfucker just said that like to me knowing. Like all right, bro, I'm not gonna take this. So I looked at him I was just like do you want the beer or not? Yeah, I was like because if you're gonna disrespect me like that, I'm gonna tell you right now I'm gonna work it the way I want it and if somebody takes your case, I hope they steal your fucking shit yeah, okay, yeah didn't say nothing, said something in punjabi and stormed off Left in his truck and took off Dang.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure he had called the district manager, because then he had called me and he was just like hey, he said you cussed him out, bro. What I was like, I ain't cussed nobody out bro. I was like we got into it. I was like he wanted things a particular way and I told him no, and and he was like well, he's going to accept the beer. We talked to him for a bit. He's going to take the beer, just work it. I was like I'm going to say less. I didn't see him at all come back. But I'm telling you, you just get those people that really just are just dicks. I don't know why.
Speaker 3:Sometimes it's a control issue.
Speaker 4:Sometimes some people just can't put their pride aside. Sometimes they just want something to complain about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I and I know, and I know he's like restricted me from going to his stores because I only went, went there twice and the last time. I want him the last time that I went, I had told them to like, because he was like telling me like, hold on, you put the pallets too far. It was only three boards this time, but I purposely put them far because I was just like no, I'm gonna piss you off. You want to play that game?
Speaker 3:like, yeah, I'm gonna get petty with it yeah, and he looked.
Speaker 2:He looked at me. He was like, no, like people are gonna steal the beer. You don't understand. You're my, if you're gonna be my new driver, this how it needs to go. I'm straight up ignoring him, not even paying attention to him. I'm working down stacking and I have my headphone and he taps my shoulder and I looked at him. I'm like, hey man, if you see me working, don't fucking touch me, dude. I was like don't you lay a finger on me. He was just like walked away and he made another phone call.
Speaker 2:I'm going to tell you he ratted on me, oh my. God Because after that I haven't seen his store since, like I don't get that story anymore.
Speaker 3:You know, some business owners are too used to and I don't want to refer to it as a kiss ass, but sometimes it's what it is. Yeah, some people are just like, okay, you work for me, I own this, and a lot of business owners get really big headed about that and that ego just gets out there.
Speaker 2:It's so sad, bro, it's so sad, yeah, and it doesn't have to get to that extent. Like I, I match everybody with kindness and I don't like being a dick to anybody. I don't like really arguing with accounts. Like with all my accounts that I have, I always make sure to have a good relationship with them. If there's any issues and they tell the salesman that they don't tell me, I'll call the salesman. I'll press the salesman and be like hey man, like what's the issue? Like right, I'll call the salesman. I'll press the salesman, be like hey man, like what's the issue? Like they, they complained about me. Why didn't you call me and tell me like right, we need to fix this, this is my account. Like I want to make it right. Right, like I'm not trying to be a dick.
Speaker 2:And and I've had an account too that recently was like giving me problems before I never did and it was something to do with, um, how certain things were too built, too high and like they had restrictions. They have a beer cave and um, everything was too tight in there and I don't got a lot of room right. And uh, if you for people that don't know, you always have those competitors, so for us it's people who, uh, distribute 805s, bud light budweiser, and we have the majority of products though right, so we have a lot.
Speaker 2:Of you guys have more stock in the store, exactly, we have cayman jacks, simplys, we have mike's, I mean smirnoff's, I mean you fucking name it. We have a shit ton of fucking beer more beer than than any of the other distributors right so when they take up all the space and then I'm left with like a few, then it's just like what the fuck you want me to do yeah um, so again, like I said, like I make it work, but again, like they were complaining that, oh, you left too much beer outside, like you need to put everything inside the beer cave, and I tell them, like, dude, I send pictures.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's, that's how, like, I cover my ass too, it's like I'll take pictures, so that way, like if they do try to lie it's just like no, no, no.
Speaker 3:Here look at this and again like thank God that I save those pictures and I show them too, because then it's just like it saves your ass for sure it's a rough one, especially when you have to deal with other competitors, like you said, because some of those other competitors don't care. Some of those other competitors don't care. They get in there, they drop whatever they want and they go, but they don't think about the next car that has to go in after you. That's always. One thing that I've hated about certain types of work is consideration for other people that come in after you and I get it, though, because we're all the same.
Speaker 2:For us, I think we're the only drivers that are salary-based. A lot of the other drivers are hourly based, right, so they get paid per hour. Just they can chill there, they can wait.
Speaker 4:They gonna milk daytime.
Speaker 2:They're gonna milk the time For me, I ain't got time to milk. That's why I'm like I'm going to rush all the time, right, but like they don't either, you know true, and then it's just like it's different. Uh, there's some people that you could be cool with and some people that you can't, and with other beer companies, especially in my area. I haven't got, I haven't got to talk to any of them, because we deliver on different days, right, and there's some days that they, they deliver first and then they block up the majority of it, and there's other days that I deliver first and I block up a huge majority of it too, right, so it's always like a back and forth fucking thing, yeah it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 3:You ever think, um, I mean, you can't really save everybody, save everything. But do you think that maybe, speaking with some of these store owners and just being like, hey, is it possible? Like when these guys drop, they put it in a specific area, so when we drop, we got all the space? It's more efficient we get in, we get out, we go.
Speaker 2:I've tried there's only a few that will that'd be, willing, because there's the one I delivered literally on tuesday, and I I'm a big dude. Um, there's some cold boxes that I'm gonna fit in and there's other ones that I'm not gonna fit in. And I have, I have a few that I don't fit in at all, and it's either my helper does it or I'll call and I'll tell him be like, hey, man, I don't fit, and either I line it up somewhere for somebody else that's skinny enough to do it or I take the beer back back. And so I was by myself, and this was tuesday recently.
Speaker 2:Um, this cold box, their product, the bud weiser and bud light, block the entire walkway. So my walkway to get to my beer is in the very back corner right. The walkway is smushed from the shelf to like the shelf. Picture, the shelf right here where my couch is right and the product is right here. Oh no, I can't even fit. Like sideways. How the fuck you want me to bring all these cases? Yeah, no. And then from this wall to my window, that's where all my product is at, and it's lined up down that way, so I can't even get it to work. You know what? I got a video Hold on.
Speaker 3:I like videos. He's giving us an in-house presentation at the moment.
Speaker 4:If it's not on Microsoft PowerPoint, I don't want to see that 12-size font font times New Roman it's not 500 words exactly double spacing, oh nah yeah, there's no way yeah, chapman's, all the way at the back.
Speaker 2:There's no way I would do the same shit bro and that's the other thing too is like you see, you see all that cardboard that's right there on the floor yeah, brother, that's a fucking mess there's that's like no, there's a point like all right, you don't have, they didn't give you room to walk through.
Speaker 2:But if you're leaving shit on the floor like to where you physically can't even walk, like that's a whole nother level so I I literally was just like I took a picture, I took the video and then I sent it to the sales guy and I sent it to the uh, the district manager, right, because again I'm not gonna make this work. And I already told the store guy like, hey, man, this is like my second time that I told him what do you expect me to do with this tight little spot? And I have to get to my cases that are in the back right. I can't make that work. Um, and then, when it's a mess, my thing is if your store is a mess and I have to clean it, I'm not stalking yourselves yeah, no, that's not your job.
Speaker 2:I'm organizing whatever minimal possible because I just cleaned up, right, like that's just how I do it and I know a lot of people do it like that too, um, and they establish that. But literally, this, this, this guy was just like they just delivered yesterday. I don't know what to do and I was like I don't know what you want me to do, bro, but I'm not. I don't have no authority or authorization to touch anyone else's case or anyone else's product other than ours, right? So I'm not going to touch uh, bud light or anything like that, because that's not mine. If it breaks, that's on me. Then you guys get mad. You know, yeah. So he was like well, I don't know, let me make a phone call. He tries to make phone calls. Then I make a phone call to the sales guy and the sales guy is just like well, I don't know what you want me to do.
Speaker 4:I was like well, I'm telling you what you want me to do. I'm telling you the issues.
Speaker 2:I can't, I can't deliver it and I can't like I physically cannot fit in this fucking little area yeah and he was like well, he was literally like well, just take the whole order back. I was like, dude, I down, stack three pallets. I'm by myself and if I restack all this shit back and I take it back into my truck, everything's just gonna fall to fall.
Speaker 4:Yeah, because that was barely like my second stop of the day, so you'd have to take it out to get to your other shit too.
Speaker 3:And I'm assuming those pallets are wrapped. Huh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Once you unwrap them, it's over with.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there's no reason. You don't get no roll to rewrap it and there's no space to do all that.
Speaker 2:So at that point, yeah. So then, uh, he was like well, I don't know what you want me to do, buddy. And I was like well, buddy, either you come over here or send me somebody to come fix it, because I'm not gonna do it, oh man.
Speaker 2:And he was like we'll call the district manager, maybe he can help you out, or anything like that. I I was like bro, I was like, all right, I'm going to give him a call. Whatever, I hang up the phone with him, I call the district manager. He hits me with the same shit. I don't know what you want me to do about that, martin. Make it work. How do you want to make it work if I can't even fucking fit in the cold box? Dude? And I talk to him and he was like, well, I don't, I don't know if and I was like I'm by myself today, bro, if you want to be a dick like that to me today, I was like, best believe any other time that you need a favor, you need something from me tough one you can go fuck yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. He was just like you don't got to be like that, bro, you don't got to be aggressive. I was just like no. I was like no, dude. I was like damn, I'm going to get hot all over again.
Speaker 1:I'm going to get all pissed off.
Speaker 2:I'm like no dude, you just don't understand. I was just like I'm a big dude, I can't fucking fit in this cold box. And I'm telling, oh, the store guy is listening and and he's just like, well, I don't know he's stuttering at that point because, like me and him were just like just in a heated fucking moment and I was like, all right, bro, if you're gonna be like this, bro, whatever.
Speaker 2:And I hung up on him. Damn, 10 minutes gone by, this fucking merchandiser fucking shows up out of nowhere. He's just like, hey, uh, they told me to come help you. I was like speed dial. I was like yeah, I was just like uh, just bring me the cases dude. I was just like I'm gonna just shimmy my ass in here just because, like there's some people that just don't know how to work. And again, I wasn't gonna be a dick and let me leave them here and be like all right, go ahead fucking figure it out, handle it, yeah, I was just like let's do it together.
Speaker 2:I was like, but I can't trust you enough to work in the fucking thing, because you know they're not going to do a good job of fucking fixing it or making everything fucking fit, right, right. So I was like no, just bring me the stuff. You're skinny enough, you can make everything fit. Yeah, I was like, let me just fucking shove my ass in here and just wait you over here. And sure enough, that's how we did.
Speaker 3:I was there for like an hour and a half, jesus and just for comparison, how long does it usually take you to stack a store like that?
Speaker 4:Average Because I know every store is different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, every store is different On average. If it's 150 cases and if it's two people me and my helper Right, and if it's one of those good accounts, we'll be in and out in 30 minutes, jeez. And if it's same thing 150 cases and it's one of those picky accounts where they ask a little bit an hour, right. This one took like 170 cases, I want to say, and an hour and a half still wasn't bad, yeah, but it's just one of those that just take a minute, yeah, yeah, but usually, like I've done stops by myself for like 150 or almost 200 cases and I'll get done in 30 minutes by myself.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:But again, everything, every account is different, every story is different, some are easier than others.
Speaker 3:And it's kind of crazy too, because they always say you don't get to talk about cool or you don't get cool stories without going through shit sometimes.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Sometimes you just got to have those rough days just to have something to talk about. That's crazy, though I would never imagine those are the struggles you deal with on a daily basis. Yeah.
Speaker 2:There's literally, like I said, bro, my work phone alone. I got a shit ton of fucking pictures of all kinds of shit that I literally was just like, like this is one of the stories. They had all their product in my fucking way oh my god they didn't even try, no like at all no
Speaker 3:he just put shit down knowing you have a delivery coming and that's how you leave the spot. That would piss me off.
Speaker 4:That reminds me of a storage unit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, literally literally just throw your shit in there I hate. This is one of the cold boxes. I don't fit in? No, I can see that, even for me you gotta.
Speaker 3:And then when I don't fit in, no, I can see that, bro, even for me you got to, and then when you bring a case in, you got to lift it up over that case. Yeah, nah, bro.
Speaker 4:And then still shimmy.
Speaker 1:way too far, Nah bro and to imagine and to imagine 170, bro.
Speaker 2:And then they expect us to like where the brown boxes are.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They expect to like where the brown boxes are.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they expect us to have that shit full, but look how fucking close it is to the fucking walkway to the show they tripping bro no, you know, I think the company itself just has to establish like okay, if you want us to deliver, you need to make sure your store is set accordingly, because why are we sitting here having our workers struggle, wasting all this time trying to get stuff right for you, but you're not even preparing your spot for us? It's the same thing whenever UPS or FedEx comes in and they're coming to drop a package off or pick it up, there's an expectation from both sides. So, okay, I know FedEx is coming at 2.30. I need to make sure all my packages are ready to go by 2 o'clock at least. If UPS or FedEx pulls up and I'm still packaging stuff and I'm like oh, I got like 20 more cases I gotta do, bro, like, can you wait?
Speaker 3:now, I ain't fucking waiting now fedex is either paying their guy to sit down and wait and he's got to get ot because he waited all that time to you know, wait for you to get your shit done, or they're just going to leave. And now you're SOL because you weren't prepared on time, and now your company's on your ass. It's just best to always be prepared for both ends and it's more efficient, bro. Some companies just don't get it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, for sure, that's the one thing I like about my job, because I work in that government building, right in that government building right.
Speaker 4:So if there's a problem like uncle sam's gonna take care of nah, because, uh, we have a sand, uh sandblast booth to blast the helicopters stripping all the paint, and a motor went out that sucks in all the particles that they're blasting. Okay, this was literally yesterday and we're like, well, motor shot, I don't know what you wanted to do about it. Like we can't repair it, like we're gonna have to order a new one, and the way we order shit it takes mad long. Yeah, that's why I'm always, that's why I always have down time at work cause something happens, cause they don't let us buy stock, like we can't stock it has to get like approved proved.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's so fucking annoying yeah, but we told uh, a green suit, which is a soldier, he's running the building, we told him. And then he comes and knocks on the door like an hour later and I'm like, yeah, what's up? He's like, oh, is uh so? And so in my, the guy that runs the facility I'm just a maintenance mechanic. Yeah. I was like, nah, he's on the floor somewhere like he's walking around, and then he, I guess he want to go. I went and sat back down nothing new with me, yeah. And I go to fill up my water and I see them talking in the hallway and I'm just listening.
Speaker 4:He's dropping, yeah, I hear him and I fill up my water and I'm walking back. And I'm walking back and I'm like, you know, let me just stand here and see what's up. So I'll walk up and I'm listening. He's like, well, what's wrong with it? The guy's like the motor shot, like there's no fixing like the boot is gonna be down for a minute. Yeah, he's like well, is that something? You guys are gonna take care of him? He's like no, we're just gonna leave it broken. I know that's what he?
Speaker 4:wanted to say. He was like yeah, we gotta order everything, but that shit pisses me off. That gets annoying too when they're just when we're just like what the fuck you mean? Like shit's broken and then technically they can't even talk to us really because they're their government or they're federal and we're state, so technically we're not even supposed to be talking to them or them talking to us. Okay, like they got to go through our office, our office tells us got you, yeah, yeah, that shit gets mad annoying that shit does get mad annoying.
Speaker 2:I've we've had. I've had that shit happen a bunch of times, like just recently. I was looking at the video so I had issues with my pallet jack for a minute, the hydraulic going out, some shit right, and I reported it. At first my manager was just like well, what the fuck do you do to it? I was like dude, it stopped working. So then I reported that one broken right. He he takes it back, takes it to the mechanic. The mechanic's just like everything's working, working fine, there's no, I hate that.
Speaker 3:And then, and then he comes back and he's just like hey, uh, go ahead and take your pallet jack tomorrow.
Speaker 2:Everything's working me. There's no, I hate that. And then, and then he comes back and he's just like, hey, uh, go ahead and take your pallet jack tomorrow. Everything's working fine, there's no issues. And I'm like, okay, whatever, like not thinking anything of it. Bro, my first fucking stop, my first pallet that I pick up on, the fucking pallet jack. It's just, it doesn't, it has no power, like if it's oh, it's the electric one.
Speaker 4:Yeah, the electric. Yeah, I thought you were talking about the manual.
Speaker 3:Yeah, those ones, the seals that might go out. No, look, let me see if I find that video. That's so crazy.
Speaker 4:Because, I wonder if the mechanic tested it, if he had a weighted pallet on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, he didn't. See, that's the fucking problem, then I know for a fact oh yeah, the motor's probably burnt out.
Speaker 4:There's too much weight and the motor burned out. Yeah, it's barely like my first if you're testing something like that, you got to test it for what it's being used for, or else you're not really testing it. Yeah, it was like he probably just turned it on it was moving it around like oh yeah, no, it works.
Speaker 2:I kept turning it on turning it off like it was not working. Bro, and and this was my first, this was the first Palo Jack. I want you to remember that, bro, and and and and that incident happens, right, it's not fucking working. And then I'm like fuck, I'm getting pissed off. I load it back up to my truck and I bring the last pallet down. Luckily I was able to bring down like four or five pallets. And then I was like cool, and I told my guy I was like go ahead and just load up the pallet jack and then I'll finish up this store. And my guy comes back. He's just like hey, dude, uh, there's a problem. Your pallet jack stuck on the lift gate. It doesn't want to move anywhere. I was like what do you mean stuck on the lift gate? He's like it's literally just on the lift gate.
Speaker 2:I was like bro, you're kidding me. And he's just like nah, man, I don't know what to do. I was like all right, cool, if I can put it at least inside the trailer, it'll be golden man. This shit's like halfway off the trailer, like on the lift gate, and it stopped working completely.
Speaker 4:It doesn't want to turn on One pan leg in, one pan leg out.
Speaker 2:And then Homeboy's just like what the fuck do I do? And then I called the mechanic. Mechanic was just like oh, what pallet jack is it? What number is it? And I was like it's my number, so I have to give him. I was like it's the pallet jack that you guys both said that you guys give me the okay to take today. I was like it's 5 am right now. Yeah, when can you bring me another one? He's just like well, let me see, can you open up the chassis and like check, uh, if you can mess with some of the wires or trip some of the fucking break, not my job bro.
Speaker 2:So then I started fucking with the dude and it's getting me pissed off because I'm like dude. I get stuck in my trailer. I want to get to my next stop, but I can't even get to my next stop because I can't even unfold the fucking the lift gate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so then I'm getting just agitated. He's just like well, it's gonna be uh a while if we get somebody to go drop you off another power jack. He's like is there any way that you can get that power jack off and put it back into the the other truck?
Speaker 3:I was like huh, don't move bro, fuck the other truck, don't move like what are you expecting to do with a power jack that don't move? In general, you can't drag it.
Speaker 2:My helper's just looking at me. He's just like well, I mean, we got to wait. I was like I'm not waiting, dog. Nah, I was just like Waiting in the truck.
Speaker 4:No, you're not Bro. No, you're not this was last.
Speaker 3:This was like what? No, it was like five months ago.
Speaker 2:I was going to say, bro, if this was dead winter like last month, no, it was during summer, yeah.
Speaker 3:At least it was cool during that time, but still, but no, it was like the busiest time for us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, true. So we were like, I was like I got to be on the move, bro, so my helper's just like and it's a different helper at this time before this one got fired, damn Jeez. And he's just like, and he was a cool dude, he was just like whatever, like nonchalant, he was like lazy, he would do the work whenever he wanted. And he was like, well, I mean, we're going to wait. And I was like, I'm not fucking waiting, dude. So then I grabbed the pallet jack and I fucking yank it inside the truck and he looked at me.
Speaker 2:He's just like, damn bro he's like I was trying to chill bro and I was like come on, close the loop gate, we're gonna go to the next one. And the next one was two, two boards and we had to down, stack it, and he was like, are we gonna wait for the mechanic here to bring the other?
Speaker 2:pallet jack, he's just like nah, boy, get your ass on the loop gate, let's go. We're gonna down, going to down, stack it in here. He's like in the truck. I was just like yeah. He was just like, damn, dude, you're really trying to finish your day.
Speaker 3:I was like, yeah, I'm not trying to be here all day.
Speaker 4:What do you mean? He's trying to finish your day.
Speaker 3:Because think about the collateral of all that, right, okay, so yeah, ultimately it was the mechanic's fault. Okay, well, you could have did this, you could have did that like I don't know, bro, sometimes I'm lazy.
Speaker 2:Co-workers, be praying on your downfall and he said he was like because he was just going so slow and I was just like and again, this is a different dude, because the dude I have now I fuck bless his heart.
Speaker 2:He fucking, he's on it, yeah but the dude that I had before, he was just, and I was like, hey, bro, I was like, do me a favor, get the fuck out the way and I'll just start down the stack. I was like, hey, bro, I was like, do me a favor, get the fuck out of the way. And I was like, start taking that shit to the lift gate. I was like, take as much stacks as you want, because we're going to deliver the store ASAP. I'm not waiting. Yeah, fast forward. They give me a Palli Jack.
Speaker 2:That day I kill off my day and I go to the warehouse, I tell them about it and it, and then, uh, the dude was just like, well, it was working perfectly fine, the peljeck was working perfectly fine yesterday, so I would have slapped him I don't know what's the issue and I was just like, hey man, I was like I'm letting you know, like I'm showing this video, I'm letting you know about it, um, and if you don't believe me, then I don't know what else to do I'm gonna just get me a new fucking jack, right like give it to somebody else, if it works, fine, yeah so then.
Speaker 2:So I got fed up and I had reported it to the superior supervisor. Yeah, because I was just like no, like I'm not this dude like he. He's, he's a cool manager, but he doesn't take shit serious all the time like he's just. I don't know if he just doesn't care, he's just not about it.
Speaker 2:But I went to our main boss and I told him and I showed him the video and I wanted him to get on that dude's ass yeah he ends up getting on the wrong dude's ass and I feel bad because that dude he's so like cool, yeah, um, but he, he always gets like the fucking the thick of it. He does nothing wrong he's the fucking butt.
Speaker 3:End of the stick, yeah he's like I didn't even work on this shit. What the fuck? What are you saying?
Speaker 2:fuck 54 so, um, what did I do literally? So then I I end up seeing the same palette jack in two days and they were like go ahead and take it. I was like I'm not taking it in. Yeah, I was like I know damn well you guys. He was like it's working perfectly fine. I was like have someone else take it, bro, because I'm not doing it yeah and I guess the dude that had it for a while he was doing bars and restaurants bars and restaurants did not lift the same pallets, as as big chain accounts or even liquor stores do, so I was like, nah like and fucking it's working for him keep it
Speaker 2:I'm still gonna use the spare one. I don't trust that shit. Yeah, little by little I start seeing that pallet jack getting left behind at the warehouse every fucking day. And then one of the main dudes, um, who had trained me, he's, he's well known to be like the golden goose of fucking of my company. He, he does a lot for the company, he sells a lot. Anyways, he, um, he takes it out. He's just like dude. My first at my first stop. He's like this is fucking ridiculous. And he calls like once. Once he gives a call to a mechanic or anything, they're fucking on it. They'll be like nope, that's the fucking golden boy right there. Like we got to be on it. Give him the best equipment possible. And he was like man. He was like this pallet jack fucking sucked it died on me on my first fucking pallet that I had.
Speaker 4:I was like of the day he was like I would have walked back up to my hand. It's working fine.
Speaker 2:Huh, it's working fine man and I thought I thought I was done with like fucked up pallet jacks, right. So there is this whole fiasco of pallet jacks getting fucked up oh god, this the same brand that I had um, and they were just getting fucked up left from right. There was like at least like five other drivers that didn't have their own palo jacks, and I was one of the five. So I guess they had this huge meeting with the corporate and they were buying 10 brand new ones.
Speaker 2:I was excited because I was like cool, I'm gonna get a different palo jack I didn't expect it to be the spanking like brand new one yeah I didn't expect the new ones, but I I was like, oh, I'm going to get a better one. Like you know, end of one meeting they're like, at the end of the day, bring whatever pallet jack you're using, we're going to assign you to brand new ones. I get to the warehouse, I see that they gave me one of the newest ones, spanking new like fresh.
Speaker 2:And I was like oh, hell, yeah. I was like that's what I'm talking about, dog, I take it out the first day that fucking work doesn't work hey, doesn't work, dude, hey man I was like it's only my luck, bro. These are the newest ones. Like what the?
Speaker 4:fuck, and so was it only yours that fucked up, or did the other? It was only mine.
Speaker 2:Let's make that very clear out of all 10, mine was the only one that was fucked up because then they didn't believe me because they were like it's one of the newest ones, man, if at this point, it's probably something that you fucking did, yeah, I was like, dude, it's not working. And I was like, look, and so I take not working. And I was like, look, and so I take a video and I sent it to him. These are, mind you, these are the brand new ones, dude.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. He really showed you a lottery ticket that day. Hit the casino, or something.
Speaker 4:I would have just laughed bro.
Speaker 2:I'm turning on and off, nothing. That shit is not turning on.
Speaker 3:Wow, I'm sorry, I'd be sick, bro, you think one day is bad.
Speaker 2:The mechanic was like well, unplug the main power source and plug it back in, and I was just like, okay. So I did that a couple of times and I sent some of the videos of it not fucking working.
Speaker 4:I'd be like at this point, bro, just give me the manual one.
Speaker 3:Please, oh God, just give me the hydraulic one when it was fucked up.
Speaker 2:It was fucked up inside one of the pallets that I had to deliver. Wow, my first one. This was at four in the morning sit about a lot of taking that. Imagine waking up going to work at four in the morning and your first pallet jack goes and I was like it worked fine because I was able to load it into my truck and start my day.
Speaker 1:Maybe it's just your truck, bro.
Speaker 2:I was like this cannot be happening right now. And then this was my, this was my walmart, and the receiver was just like well, how are you gonna deliver or anything? And I was like I don't even know how, like I have to yank this whole pallet jack by hand like yeah and, bro, yanking it.
Speaker 2:Yanking it into the truck is one thing, it has nothing on it, oh yeah. Yanking it out when it has a whole pallet on top, that's a different story. So then now I have this new helper right, and this new helper, he's cool and he's just like. He's like, dude, I can't, I can't yank this bitch out like I can't pull it. And I was just like man, I gotta figure something out. I was like bring me that.
Speaker 2:I was like you see that other pallet jack that they got that manual one, bring bringing and start just pulling out pallets and I'm gonna see if I can take this one out. And um, and I'm talking to one of the managers and he's just like, is it stuck on one of the pallets? I was like, yeah, I'm trying to take it out. He was just like um, he was like, well, how are you gonna do that? I was like, with my hands, I'm gonna fucking yank this shit out. He's like that shit's heavy martin, bro, don't try to hurt yourself. I was like, honestly, dude, you're just setting me up at this point. I was like I'm not waiting an hour and a half until you bring me somebody to bring me another paddle jack right he's like all right, whatever.
Speaker 2:So then this whole time I'm fucking yanking this, this fucking paddle jack bro, I'm fucking pulling it. It's one of the newest ones, so I'm like I don't want to fucking kick you and fucking bend you and everything. You're getting me so pissed off that you're not getting off this fucking pallet jack. I've had enough and luckily I was able to take that shit, take it off the pallet. But boy, I was drenched in sweat like I was gassed, like it looked like I was a fucking crackhead, just fucking dry, heaving.
Speaker 4:But he was going through a drug and I can imagine it looked like I was a fucking crackhead, just fucking dry heaving.
Speaker 3:But he was going through a drug and I can imagine how heavy they are considering all those electric components, bro the motor itself is heavy, yeah, and then you got the battery, bro, I'm sorry, but if that went out on me, listen, I weigh 135 pounds. If that went out on me, day's over with, buddy, I'm done.
Speaker 2:It's over with, I'm days over with, buddy, I'm done it's over with, and I guess one main fucking fuse or electrical problem was burnt out. Brand new, brand, stinking new, though.
Speaker 4:At least it wasn't your fault.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they can't blame that one on you. And I made sure to catch the video because I was just like nope, I'm sending it to the boss. He just assigned these Literally the first day that I was taking it out, like, yeah, I was nothing to do, like not my fault. Yeah, that's wild, bro. And now I got it back. Now I have no issues with it, thank god, but praying you don't deal with it again, bro, I was, I was god, I was. I think I was gone for like a month without a good pallet jack. I kept using the spare ones.
Speaker 3:And then now I was like fuck, I'm thugging it out though telling you, bro, it's way more convenient to, whenever you're dropping it off, if the person you're dropping it off to has a pallet jack, that's golden, because then you can just have them loaded, unloaded, like at my job. They have these big fedex trucks that come in the long trailers and those guys they come with a hand pallet jack. I'm talking hydraulic. You got to lift it. I'm like that's just ghetto, bro. I'm like, hey, bro, move that out the way.
Speaker 4:We get it. You moved up in world. No, I'm sorry, you got the electric one.
Speaker 3:FedEx has enough money to afford the electric ones dog, or at least the trailers when they move. You know the floors that move. That would be convenient. Those are tough. Yeah, obviously, I know that shit Costs a lot of money.
Speaker 2:But they got the money dog.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that shit's so crazy when the Bro it's full of the wheelchips and you just see it and I'm just like Bro what?
Speaker 3:the fuck. I still don't know how that shit works. That shit's crazy. But yeah, you want what?
Speaker 4:you mean standing there. He was like yeah, stand, stand in the back, like where it opens up. He was like stand right there, you'll be in the back in no time. I was like ain't no way, bro. I stood there. He turned that shit on. I was in the back, I look quick.
Speaker 3:I was like oh shit might have to get a skateboard in that motherfucking ollie off the back. Nah, I'm just saying, bro. So technology nowadays we be moving like cavemen when we know these companies got money to at least upgrade something.
Speaker 2:Well, shit, Pepsi is moving.
Speaker 1:They signed that deal with Tesla.
Speaker 2:With Tesla, yeah, and.
Speaker 4:I'm seeing a couple of them now. I've seen a few.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and it looks nice. But then I was talking to the Pepsi dude and I was like, hey, bro, how do you do it? And he was like what do you mean? I was like, hey, bro, like how do you do it? And he was like what do you mean? I was like, because you're dead center, like yeah, that shit must feel awkward. I was like, and the windows don't roll down? None what. That's from what I heard and from what he had. He had told me maybe they do, but they don't.
Speaker 4:But then also, like you can't roll down the window and like, yeah, you're in the middle because you're right, I'm pretty sure they got like dumb cameras on there.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I think it has like the 360 camera view too, and like what trailer do that's kind of. I think it's just the cab. If it was a trailer, that'd be, but it might be the trailer too.
Speaker 3:I don't know well you gotta think about it, though, because on some of these cars they already have the, the. What do they call that? Um, the satellite view. Yeah, where you're looking, you see the whole car that's around it. If they had that on a trailer truck, that'd be sick.
Speaker 2:You would never have it, but then would they have to have the trailer upgraded as well. That's true.
Speaker 4:Because it has to be a connection to the cab.
Speaker 2:I mean, I'm sure it's nothing but an extension, but at the same time is it like a little bubbly put on top with the clearance lights, right, and then that just gives it a whole sensor in the back trailer. That'd be kind of cool. I don't know how that works, but again, like I said, I was just asking him. I was like that shit must be hard, bro, and he was like it takes a minute to get used to because, like to back up and like you only depend on what you see on the rearview mirrors, rather than like, okay, let me check my blind spot right and make sure I don't smack anything on the side.
Speaker 4:You know not only that, but I wonder how long they actually last, though, like the battery life, but I don't know even driving a tesla.
Speaker 3:In general, it's such a crazy driving experience compared to driving a regular car that shit makes my head hurt.
Speaker 3:I genuinely hate driving teslas, like when I worked at les schwab and I seen a tesla pull up, I was like, oh my god, bro, you're lying. And it's not because, like, it's super expensive, it's just the features of it, like the gas and brake alone. When you drive a tesla and you're driving like, let's say, you're doing 20 miles an hour, you let off the gas. It has an automatic brake feature. So if you hit the brakes, naturally in your head like, oh I'm driving a normal car, You're going to stop way faster yeah you're going to damn near hit the steering wheel Like what.
Speaker 3:There's so many different things with that vehicle compared to a regular car. I can imagine what the semis are like. Yeah, to a regular car.
Speaker 2:I can imagine what the semis are like. Yeah, and the dude I'm not going to lie, because sometimes some of these guys will race. I know I shouldn't have been saying it, but we'll race. Yeah, I'll be like, no, I'm trying to beat you to the next stop. Yeah, you know. So this dude's just like oh, every time I get you at the stoplight you're cooked. Yeah, he, because your truck, you have to wait for it to change gears change gears like upshift, upshift, upshift.
Speaker 2:It's like with this Tesla I get to that red light. I'm going to fucking gap you straight up. It's like this one just fucking takes off Even with the full load it'll fucking straight take off.
Speaker 3:I wonder how long it takes for them to charge those semis, though those batteries got to be huge, yeah, huge.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't know I you won't see that motherfucker flip over, though? Oh, absolutely no, that's too heavy bro, that motherfucker's not gonna flip over heavy, but I mean technology is moving up, it's moving quick.
Speaker 3:I'm just waiting to see what they do about these planes bro how do you feel about ai uh do?
Speaker 2:you guys have that feature on your guys's iphones. I I haven't even tried it out, so galaxy has, uh, galaxy ai, it's like a feature that so on my phone, I can, if I want to do like quick searches or even like coming up with like literally just artificial intelligence right on my phone, on my screen, I can literally, let's say like, if I look at an instagram post that dj posted and I want to search up cars his exact car yeah, I literally like grab my finger and I'll like hold it and then I'll like draw out the car, damn, or I'll like circle it and then it'll pop up. What do I want to do with it? What do I want to? You know, yeah, it's like it's, it's highly advanced. That's crazy, and I was. I was just wondering if ip iPhone had the same thing with artificial intelligence.
Speaker 3:Well, we have something of that sort. We have this feature where if you look at a photo and you tap and hold a specific item in there, you can do things like Safari search and stuff like that and make a sticker out of it. But I mean, I feel like that's a little bit out of it, but I mean that's, I feel like that's a little bit more advanced than what we can do. That's cool as hell. I like that.
Speaker 2:But I mean trusting ai, like and that's like the new thing right now with galaxy. That's what they're promoting. Yeah, like I got. I got a text message from um sanson to upgrade my phone and then that's what they're promoting the whole new Galaxy, ai and all that I don't know. I know that they also have the features of the ring, the Galaxy ring Right, and obviously the newest technology, which is like the watch band, the watch. There's just all kinds of stuff that they're coming out for Galaxy.
Speaker 4:That's all gonna intertwine with each other yeah, I mean ai is cool.
Speaker 3:I just I don't think it's. It's definitely scary. It's scary, right, and obviously there's a lot of people out here that are testing the limits of ai and what it can do and how far they can go with certain things. And I think, for what it's used right now, it's cool because you can create new things. But at the same time, I know you've seen videos on TikTok or Instagram and it looks so real and you're like, bro, is this AI? You have to question those things sometimes and I feel like, as it gets more and more advanced, it could be used to manipulate or, oh for sure, to fabricate certain things, and it's going to be a lot harder to prove it wrong or it's going to be a lot harder to decipher it. And I don't think do you guys see the?
Speaker 2:ads the ai yeah and how fucking like crazy that shit yeah 100.
Speaker 3:I mean I'm seeing videos ai created and it's like the first few seconds you're like what the what am? I'm seeing videos ai created and it's like the first few seconds you're like what the what am I looking at? And then you realize you're like, oh, it's ai. It's gonna get, like I said, to a point to where you just won't be able to tell the difference, and I think that's dangerous. You know what happens in legal cases. What happens when it gets to a point where, oh, I got evidence of this person doing this and it's AI generated. And if there's no tracing to finding out if it's AI or if it's real, how do you find that out? How do you decipher that? That's true. You know what I'm saying. That's what I think about. I think about the bad, because humans, they like to dabble into shit a little too far. You know what I'm saying. They like to experiment into shit A little too far. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. They like to experiment. So I don't know. I'm just saying it's just too much bro.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they're using it for Howlis now too, though. Yeah, like I know Call of Duty's using it. Really, that's how they make the skins and shit, and like you know how you go to the store and it shows like like the profile or like the picture of all the shit. Right, that's AI.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. Like active AI in it that's crazy, damn. Now what do you think that means for like people with jobs who do like?
Speaker 4:digital Graphic design and shit. Yeah, that would probably be. Well, there's always, because AI is not always going to get exactly what you want but, it's definitely going to die out. Damn, they're using it for movies and shit too, like editing and shit.
Speaker 3:Oh, I wouldn't doubt it yeah, instead of using like actual, like cars and car crashes and stuff, they just do an AI edit behind it.
Speaker 4:No, just like full scenes will be AI.
Speaker 3:Yeah, nah, that's. I mean that's kind of cool, yeah, but A lot of jobs gone. Yeah, a lot of jobs, Damn. What about you? What do you think about?
Speaker 2:like where do you think AI is going to take us in the future? I find it. I find it that it's it's already like how advanced our technology is now. It's like it's next level, like they're showing people having robot dogs, robot, uh, literally like a robot human that has the ai embedded into it right um, it's crazy how fast-paced a lot of technology is working now, but I feel like, compared to other countries, like you know, japan, japan has a shit ton of technology yeah and like the newest shit.
Speaker 2:Um yeah, they're way more advanced than we are yeah way more advanced. Yeah, so I don't. I don't know. It is a. It is a trip, though, like just how much we allow technology to control yeah, that shit's crazy.
Speaker 4:I feel like what's gonna happen next is elon's gonna put that shit in a narrow link those chips that be working on he puts that shit in someone's head.
Speaker 3:They were saying the neuro link was supposed to repair certain um, I don't know if it was like dysfunctions, so like things that have to do with like nerves, right? So if you have a limb where you have nerve damage, it's supposed to improve that, it's supposed to help bring back that function it's used for all right good talk, I'm sure I'm trying to figure it out.
Speaker 4:I can't remember the name of the like implant implants, yeah, yeah I mean so they could have like a mechanical arm. But they could still control it with their mind.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I do think that It'll help in certain cases there are implants Of people that are like Amputated, like they have their arm Amputated right and they're able to get Like a Not a robotic hand, but a hand that has like Connections into the To the nerves Insert yeah, but Elon's trying to like go past that, like he's trying to have it when the chip, like they put it in a certain or they read the brain waves that your brain's telling you to move your hand and they'll do it I genuinely feel like it.
Speaker 3:Like I said, everything obviously has its benefits. But it gets to a point like and I'm not trying to go out there with the with these crazy theories, but like people are already saying, okay, tesla can, or elon musk can literally shut down a tesla. Like there's been videos of people doing crazy reckless shit with their teslas and he completely just shuts it off, like he's like no, you can't use his car, no more, I'm not saying I'm pretty sure you can do whatever you want with it?
Speaker 3:hey, you would think so, but in other countries you laws are not the same. But at the same time, what happens when technology gets so advanced? Obviously, there's always somebody out there that's able to take control of something.
Speaker 4:That's like the same thing with all the robberies, yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah, you have a high security system, but then somebody knows how it works and they just break through and there's always like loopholes, like that's crazy how much loopholes.
Speaker 2:They are still to this day yeah, like I don't, I don't want to talk about really a lot about the subject, but there was recently like that, that school shooting or that school threat of that. This kid that um tested the limits of uh, security ai that they had in their school embedded into their school camera system. So if you had a weapon or a possible weapon, ai would scan it and they would immediately alert the authorities, like straight up, and they would show up within five minutes for a school threat or school shooting. Right, this kid was able to smuggle in a whole fucking gun and then shot up the school and then the authority like he. He found a loophole behind that whole thing to bypass this fucking security. That was worth like thousands of fucking dollars yeah so it's just, it's insane, how, fucking bless you.
Speaker 2:It's insane, how, how there's always going to be a loophole and it's the the same thing with anything in technology.
Speaker 3:I don't know if you guys heard the story, but there was this kid that was able to breach into I want to say it was Apple. I could be wrong on this, it was years ago, but some 14-year-old kid was smart enough to be able to breach into one of the company's like most secure databases and they asked because they found out it was him and they were like how did you figure it out? I think it was nasa with nasa. And so he ends up like explaining to them how he did it and all that other stuff and I think later on, they hired him, they hired him, yeah so you know, there's always people out there that can figure things out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, as long as there's any form of technology, whether it's internet based or whether it's a system, humans are curious. If you're wise enough to create it, somebody's wise enough to get into it and find a loophole. Yeah, every single time, all the time yeah. So, I mean it's crazy how far we've come in the world, but again.
Speaker 4:I'm in a good mood in time, yeah, so I mean it's crazy how far we've come in the world.
Speaker 3:But again I'm gonna move into the mountains, bro fuck technology, oh my god. But other than that, on another topic, um, I don't think I've ever asked this question, but where do you see yourself? And I know this is so basic, but but where do you see yourself literally within the next five years in the next five years.
Speaker 2:Um, I'm still gonna be doing the podcast, for sure dedication um I'm a manifester right now, hopefully married, uh, okay, um, hopefully home like a like a house, like and not just like a I used to say just a generic home or first starter house, but no, I think uh long term for like a big house, just because, uh, I opened up to you guys about me having to take care of my mom and she's gonna be moving in soon and, um and again, like I, I'm always going to do something for my family, I'm always going to do something for my mom, for my dad you look out for the ones that looked after you exactly.
Speaker 2:And then, uh, they're not. Uh, my mom was was a stay-at-home mom, so she really doesn't you know. And then again, like I'm always going to take care of my mom, no, matter what, no matter what Right. So and then within the next five years, hopefully I get that.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 2:That's where I'm at, that's right. What about you? Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
Speaker 3:I'm going to be honest, I don't ever think that far. I think about as far as next week and that's it. I learned that planning things too far ahead for myself usually never goes as planned. I do see myself owning my own towing company. It's been something I've been in the works for the past two years, definitely in my own house, probably another car project and a daily. You know me with my cars man, I can't stop.
Speaker 3:And, like I said, owning my own business family operated, owned, um, just making more money and just not being in a in a financial position where I have to struggle, yeah, um, content creation is still going to be there. I don't really plan on cutting that out anytime soon. I need need to actually pick up more. Yeah, because, like I said before, I lost inspiration for a little bit of time and I don't know if it was strictly because of my new work schedule or if I just genuinely just ran out of ideas. But I just feel like I need to be able to take a break in what I do so that way I can come up with new ideas.
Speaker 3:It's hard finding new ideas amidst being in the middle of everything and then again finding a new job and working so many hours, it cuts a lot of your time to be able to sit down and think about what you want to do next or how you're going to do certain things. You know, just stuff like that. So I would say, definitely owning a business within the next five years and in my own crib, new car project still making content and praying that all the people that I'm here with today you know friends, family and all that they're still with me, so that way I can, you know, make them proud and bring them along with me to the road. You know the journey.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah. What about you, Isaac? Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
Speaker 4:If I'm still alive.
Speaker 3:You never know bro, Be cool bro.
Speaker 4:Tomorrow's not a problem.
Speaker 2:Tomorrow's not a problem.
Speaker 4:Be cool, bro. Hopefully I'll definitely still be working for the state. Hopefully, move I should be moved up by then at a higher position, definitely having my own house Content Getting done. Hopefully the business is going fully by then, like we're on top of shit. I would say a relationship, but I don't really know if I want a relationship. I probably should, though, because we're already 25, bro yeah. A relationship between the next five years will be all right. I think that's about it.
Speaker 3:I think that's another thing I missed out on, because I mentioned this on the last podcast too. My goal was always to have a kid by 27, 28.
Speaker 4:Better get to it, bro.
Speaker 3:I don't know bro, I don't know bro, I don't know I, I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and be like I have to do it by 27, and that you know what I'm, it's if I'm ready for that. It's if I'm prepared for that. You know I, I've witnessed, um, you know, people have kids early and they're able to make it happen with their situations and unfortunately, I feel like in my situation, I just can't do that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, um, you don't want that for your kid either though yeah like I voluntarily would not bring a child into this world knowing that I can barely suffice for myself, exactly I can't do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm sorry. I repeat that's good. That's good that you have that mentality, because there's other people that don't got that.
Speaker 3:They're just like baby fever, like I need, I want a kid.
Speaker 2:So bad bro bro.
Speaker 3:Don't got their life together Still a little, mom, still a little dad you know, and then when the kid's eight months old and they're just crying, or two years old, however old, and the girl's just like I want to party, I want to be a baddie.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, just like dude. Your whole mom relaxed. Please hung it up already.
Speaker 3:go feed my son oh my goodness we're talking about here. Go feed my son, yeah, yeah, yeah, stop, stop, I, I, yeah. I'm sorry, but that's another thing. Dude, finding a partner that is mature maturity has been the biggest problem in the past. I don't know how many years and I get it. We're all growing up. I'm 24, about to be 25, like. Some people are getting it together, some people have already, some haven't. I'm not gonna blame you for whatever position you're in now, but you gotta mature at some point and understand like nobody love you baby this.
Speaker 3:This life is not a game like. You can't just continue doing the same old stuff and being toxic and and just living a reckless life, all your life. You gotta lock in at some point, bro. I'm not going to sit here and again, get in a relationship with somebody who oh, I want a kid, Okay, and then a year or two years later you don't cook, you don't work, you don't teach the kid anything, or it's not the relationship that you expect it to be yeah, that too, or you just they're not holding their part as a parent, and that's super important, because whatever you bring into this world, you have to be able to teach it something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what are you gonna teach the kid, bro, like how to hold the flashlight? Probably only fans. How to how to run a drop shipping account? I said hold that Right here.
Speaker 3:Point it right here, like you genuinely have to have essential life tools when you bring a child into this world so that way you can teach them at a young age. Hey, this is how you act, this is how you maneuver in the real world, this is how you do this and that. And third, I'm not going to sit here and talk like I got a kid, but this is how you do this and that. And third, I'm not going to sit here and talk like I got a kid, but I've definitely been around enough people. I've definitely been around enough situations where I understand like OK, well, this is good parenting, right here, I like this. And others where it's like hey, bro, I'm not going to lie to you, that's going to be a silver tooth for sure.
Speaker 3:I ain't going to want my kid around here when I grow up God bless, but at the same time, like I said, I genuinely just hope that if you end up having a kid, if I end up having a kid later on down the road, that they do have the essentials that they need in life to be able to prosper and be the better person that they need to be.
Speaker 4:And I'll be telling you when that happens, because we all having kids at the same fucking time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's definitely happening, bro, because my kid having kids at the same fucking time. Yeah, that's definitely happening, bro. My kid better be best friends with Isaac's kid bro.
Speaker 4:I said him a fucking real one time and it was a real dude walking down the street and he was like oh bro, I forgot to tell you me and Yada, yada, are pregnant. And he was like really, you're barely telling how long ago was this? A week ago. He was like I can't believe you. And he starts walking away. He's like where the fuck you going? He's like now.
Speaker 1:I got to go find some little shit. I can't believe it.
Speaker 4:You know, I'm not in a relationship right now. I don't know why you would do this. We're supposed to have kids the same day.
Speaker 3:It's like that, man. That's the goal for sure is definitely having a kid around the same time as the homies, so that way our kids can grow up together and I'm not expecting them to relive the same lives that we had, but to at least have a friend or a partner lifelong. You know what I'm saying? Because if me and Isaac, me and you, we end up growing 20, 30 years down the road, if we end up having kids, bro, could you imagine us being 40s, 50s, chilling? We're going to be on the front yard like this. We got our kids barbecuing for us. We got our kids. You know, they made us proud.
Speaker 3:And we're sitting there looking at each other like bro could you imagine we were literally their age not too long ago? We was just talking about this. Yeah, you know, it's a good thing to have. So, yeah, you know how hypocritical we would all be.
Speaker 2:Hey, no, smoking weed, I'm gonna be doing that shit. I know you ain't drinking, I know you ain't is that a racing motherfucker? They'll be like daddy. I heard the podcast back in the day, heard those episodes when you guys used to do we were just bullshitting that's grown folks business.
Speaker 3:I know nothing about that. Hey, what we did back in the day don't fucking relive. Hey, man, we're gonna live some, some nice lives. I'm just saying a lot of good stories to tell. I mean we already telling a lot of them, but I know and I.
Speaker 2:I had a conversation with uh, with chango he's another content creator that has been on this podcast before and he literally was just like I can't wait like 10 years from now, that the amount of digital footprint that I'm leaving behind, oh man you go back and show your kids. He's like when you have kids or when you have other family members. They're going to see like the progression and this is going to stay on here for the rest, you know, yeah, yeah, literally Literally.
Speaker 4:I don't see any of them. Motherfuckers shutting down soon. It's going to be there for a minute.
Speaker 3:You're leaving your own history and that's something Like nobody else has been able to do that To be able to consistently record, you know, their lives as they grow older. Like I feel like our generation is the first to be able to do that, Whether it was from Google Photos from 2012, when you got your first phone and you were recording and Google Photos saved it. That's cool.
Speaker 4:It was in the mirror, like this yeah, literally.
Speaker 3:I mean you had photo books back in the days, but now you really have live stuff you can show. That's cool.
Speaker 2:But they're doing the fucking duck lips and shit.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, the snapback. You got to hit one of these Yo, the Obey Snap Hat bro, the snapback with the belt loop, the swerve, the.
Speaker 4:I Heart.

Speaker 4:I wonder why that's in middle school, but in high school it was just one lunch.
Speaker 3:I don't know, and I feel like there's more people in high school than there is in middle school.
Speaker 2:So like why was that? I was, and I remember too that era too. They would have the stink bombs everywhere.
Speaker 4:Oh bro, oh god we got in trouble one time because I we brought those little poppers that you get from the ice cream. Yeah, yeah, just chucking them in the hallway and then the food my homeboy riding me out I'm not.

Speaker 4:No, because you went to Rio, we went to Glacier. Our hallway was just classroom.
Speaker 1:Oh, it was like indoor, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:We'd be ruthless as fuck. We'd get the stink bombs and, as soon as somebody opens the door, to walk out the classroom we'd start chucking.
Speaker 3:Y'all are ruthless, bro. It'll never be the liquid ass spray, bro. High school. I think you know where I'm going with this bro.

She would look at that poop, like yeah fucking stink. Oh hell, no, if only she knew, but to this day I don't think she ever found out, because this dude was just like you fucking smell dude, you fucking smell your nest.

Now, that shit's going to stick, and that's different. You can change the clothes, but changing the weave is a little different.

Speaker 3:What about you Most?
Speaker 4:memorable time, I'd probably say, when we ran away from security, me and Mark. Oh man, we did. We were having a. It was going to be, it was a class, and then it was going to be a rally Right or it was. You know how they would pull us.
Speaker 1:It was that class and they'd be like all right, we're going to come to the rally, yeah.
Speaker 4:We're like bro, fuck that by that wall.
Speaker 4:you know the office, yeah, you know that first row of classrooms and there's that the balls right there, yeah so me and him are chilling by that classroom, right like waiting for people to go in the class, and we're gonna hop the fence and the teacher walks out wow, like letting the kids in the class. And she's like, oh, what are you guys doing? Like, oh, we're just waiting. Like like I forgot what we said, we were making up some bullshit, and I could tell she kind of already knew. So as soon as she turned her back, we both looked at each other and said, off the wall, we see the gold, the golf cart coming. We're like, oh shit, run across the street, hop fences, dude.
Speaker 4:And we just hear we hop behind a fence and then we're just chilling, we're like all right, we're, we're probably good. And we hear him driving around in the neighborhood. We're like bro, we're like all right. Are we like trying to do the math on here? It's like all right, we parked in the neighborhood, right here we're at this house. So we had two more fences and we're like all right, this is the last fence. We hopped this fence, hopped in the whip quick and did, and we're like all right, we hopped it. We about to open the door to his car.
Speaker 2:We see the golf cart pulled around the corner.
Speaker 3:We hopped in and took off jesus, what about you? Day, oh man, um, I mean it wasn't during school, but it was definitely going in at nighttime, going to the central and doing hide and seek. That shit was fun, bro. I mean it's just a bunch of kids, we all just chilling, chopping it up, fucking around, and it's that one motherfucker, just like all right bitch, you're it. Everybody go run and hide. That fucking camp was his biggest fun. It's huge, bro. So it took at least like 20 minutes of hide and go seek. And you might think you're fast, bro, but them niggas was quick. I mean I'm sitting here behind a bush. I'm like ain't nobody gonna find me. Yeah, bro, come out with a flashlight. I'm like what the fuck are you doing with a whole flashlight? Like you came fully equipped, ready, ready for war, and I'm over here running trying to get around them.

Speaker 2:Just say you hate your job, dude man we ain't hurting nobody or anything.
Speaker 4:What the fuck wrong with us?
Speaker 3:yeah, man, I didn't really have too many memorable times during school. I mean, I could bring up a situation. I just okay, you know what, I'll bring it up. So we had this homie and I'm gonna say his name was um. I'm gonna say his name was Rome.
Speaker 4:And.
Speaker 3:Rome was kind of laid back, but at the same time he was like a—I should not be saying that, anyways. So Rome kind of hung out with our group every now and then. Most of the time he'd be by himself. And one day there's this girl that pops up and I think she switched schools and she's like hanging around, like where our group hangs out at and stuff like that, and he's like checking her out. He's like yo, she's kind of bad, yada, yada, yada.
Speaker 3:Now, mind you, he doesn't know that this is the homie's sister. So we're sitting here like you know, that's what's his name, sister, right, and he's just like we're sitting here like you know, that's what's his name, sister, right, and he's just like man, I don't give a fuck. So we're like all right, bro, it is what it is. So he goes and he's trying to, you know, get out or whatever, and she's flaming this dude. I mean flame like I got a secondhand embarrassment because I'm just like I wish I could have saved you from that, bro. So she's roasting him and he does the unexpected instead of walking away and just being like man, you know what it is, it is what it is, bro, I'm going to just take my L, he starts cussing at her, he starts cussing her out. And now this girl is not the type of person like really back down from anything she's. They're both going back and forth at this point.
Speaker 3:Lunch bell rings and we got to go back to class. They're still arguing and I'm like rome, let's go, bro. Like it's time to bounce. Like we got to go to class, don't worry about it, bro. Like it's old female bro, be, be cool. I'm walking and I turn around. Broden dropped his backpack, he taking his sweater off. I I'm like bro, yo yo yo, yo, yo, yo yo yo. We not doing that. Hold on, bro. But didn't you do that?
Speaker 4:No Negative, don't even try to do me like that Don't even do me like that.
Speaker 3:That's another story.
Speaker 4:That's another story. That's another story. That's another story.
Speaker 3:Before y? Uh, before y'all even trying to cancel me, we're gonna talk about that. Um no, he's taking his sweater and his backpack off. He's going off. I'm like yo, so I run up to him. I'm like yo. Yeah, we're not doing that. Chill out, homegirl's. A crash out for one and for two. Ain't no reason for you to be acting like he probably got his sb anyway, I'm not gonna lie, yeah, but everybody starts coming around.
Speaker 3:They're like yo, yo, you better fight a girl, bro, like it was. It was bad. I've never seen nobody crash out over rejection that bad. I've seen people get turned down from prom and turn around and go ask the next chick bro. That was crazy. Um, now to bring up. To bring up what isaac was talking about we had we we about we had this dyke girl in auto class?
Speaker 4:I don't think you can say that word no more. I think it's offensive.
Speaker 3:I'm going to be so honest. I don't give a fuck. What. Do you want me to call her bro? I'd rather just say dyke, because you understand what I'm talking about, and it's not a no offensive manner.
Speaker 2:And it's definitely not offensive. That's just what we call it.
Speaker 3:So she's in our auto class and I'm gonna call her. I'm gonna call her anna. Um, so anna, she's she. She comes from a rough background, whatever it is what it is. We're in auto class and she's the troublemaker type. Like she gets into a class. She's not there to learn, she don't care about this school stuff, she's. She's having a time of her life, she's doing whatever the fuck she want to do and she's like oh, we better play baby bridges. Now for any of those who don't know what baby bridges is if you say a word with the letter b in it, you get punched until you say baby bridges.
Speaker 4:I thought I had to start with the letter B.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, yeah, that that works. Um, he's like I don't even know, so anyways. So I'm like I'm not doing that, like I'm, I'm here to get my schoolwork done and get out of here, bro. I'm here to get my schoolwork done and get out of here, bro, I'm not playing no games with y'all. At the time I didn't even really know her like that. Yeah, so break, break. Time hits. We leave.
Speaker 3:I'm chilling with the homie. We're out in the yard, I'm chopping it up with him and I'm talking to him about something and after a while I'm just getting socked in my back. I, and after a while I'm just getting socked in my back. I'm talking like full force punches. I don't know who this is, but a lot of the homies that I had at the time. They don't just walk up on me and start hitting me. So I'm thinking somebody trying to do something to me. So I turn around. Instinct, I throw a right hook, bro. I turn around, it's Anna and I get her smooth in the lip. Now when I realize who it is, I'm like oh yo, yo, yo yo. There's no way. Like out of all people. I mean, I could have thought it was the homie's little brother, you done.
Speaker 2:Gave the right hook to die bro.
Speaker 3:No, now mind you. Now mind you, you violent motherfucker. Now mind you. I did not know who it was until I turned around with that right hook. I ain't never been that accurate in my life. I'm proud for that 180. I ain't gonna lie to you, that was a smooth 180, bro clip it, clip it bro.
Speaker 3:So after I realized it, I'm like oh. So I back up and I'm like yo, I did not mean that, like I didn't know it was you. Her facial expression completely just changes. She goes from like joking to like fully upset, ready to like pack me out. So she's like nah, fuck that. And she's cussing me out. And then she drops her backpack and she's like trying to swing at me. I'm like, hey, bro, I'm not trying to fight you like nah, cut it, the fuck out.
Speaker 3:And so the bell rings and she's literally throwing punches at me and I'm sitting here dodging them and ducking. And so I'm like, bro, back the fuck up, like I'm not with that. And after a while she keeps talking. I'm still backing up and and she gets her stuff and she's just like nah, wait till I see you tomorrow. And I was just like how are you mad at me when you swinging on me? I don't know who, you know what I'm saying. So I got caught with the element of surprise. Shorty got hit with a right hook. I'm not the most-, she got caught with the element of surprise. I'm not the most proud to announce that, obviously, because I'm not the type of person to hit women Like I grew up around an abusive father. I don't tolerate that type of shit, obviously, but at the same time, please, women, whatever you do, do not Sock anybody in the back. Do not be punching on somebody.
Speaker 4:Equal rights yeah.
Speaker 3:Do not be punching on somebody thinking that it's sweet, because nowadays you don't know who you're punching on. The next day she did come to school with a pair of brass knuckles, thinking I was going to be scared or something. Nothing ever happened, caught her, bluff, whatever, seen her years down the road at a McDonald's and she got to act like everything was still sweet and whatever. And I was just like hey, bro, I want nothing to do with you, bro.
Speaker 2:Remember that right hook. Yeah, you better remember it, man.
Speaker 3:Like I said, not one of my proudest moments. I just genuinely had to bring that up because Isaac had to put me on the spot for that one bro.
Speaker 4:I just knew it was a funny story.
Speaker 3:That was insane, bro. Set me up for that.
Speaker 2:Jesus Christ. Funny story. That that was insane, bro.
Speaker 4:Set me up for that, jesus christ, now that I think about it, I'd never seen you in high school I never ran into you guys.
Speaker 3:I only seen martin like a handful of times and it was because he was hanging out by the, the snack bar, and it was usually in the mornings. I would see him with his group, but I didn't know who he was. It was just I knew who.
Speaker 2:Like I just seen him and I was just like I've never even seen him like, yeah, and then most of the time too, like the most of the group that I kicked it with, we would either walk around, chill right there by the snack bar or or, uh, I think all senior year I was with Cat Because Cat had finally Went to East. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, I don't know. Sometimes too I would be, I would, I remember, sometimes I would, I would be trying to sneak off With all the seniors that had Early release, not early release. What is it?
Speaker 4:Off campus lunch yeah.
Speaker 2:So sometimes I would be Fucking, I would chop it up with them and be like, hey brother, I won't go to the liquor store, but like, oh, just hop in the back seat and like lay down, like they ain't gonna notice yeah, yeah, because the security guards didn't give a fuck yeah, and then that security guard ended up getting caught. Damn dude, that's crazy bro I'm still upset.
Speaker 4:I would never thought we'd be the high school. That shit would go down like that. And the picture like his picture, his court picture like you think he'd be a teacher and a girl, and it's crazy, because people from other schools knew about it too, like you, think you'd be a teacher and a girl.
Speaker 3:Nah, nah, and it's crazy because people from other schools knew about it too. Like that's how you know. It was like a big thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, One of the security guards. She was fired. She was let go because she had known about the incident.
Speaker 3:Oh, I didn't even know she got fired for that. I didn't know she got fired for that.
Speaker 2:That's how? Because she stayed like a year after, One year after. And then she was let go and then my cousin had told me like, oh well, it was because of this.
Speaker 2:Because, he was in the wrestling program, so he was really close with Coach and he was the one who told him he was just like, yeah, she got fired Because she knew about the incidences. Wow, she was, like, you know, never spoke up about it, yeah, but she was aware of it, damn I was like oh hell, no, I still wish I would have went to west, bro.
Speaker 3:I heard so many stories about west that there's a ghetto at west, I know.
Speaker 4:But that's what never changed.
Speaker 2:It's never gonna change and I don't even know why it's all country bro.
Speaker 3:I know, yeah, literally like I think it was really Just the staff that was there Just letting the kids Get away with whatever, because even when my sister Went there and she's five years older than me they were doing stuff like that Back then. My brother too, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, both my older sisters Said the same thing, because back then freshmen were required to go to West because East was an academy.
Speaker 4:We were in the first year that they allowed us to go to East first.
Speaker 3:East was considered an academy and all this other stuff, and you had to go to West first.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I think I was the last one. I was the last class that was forced to go to West first, west first, yeah. No, they told us in middle school to pick our classes and shit, and what school I was like not going away and it's farther from where I lived, as I was like fuck that yeah, my parents was like where?
Speaker 4:east is, I could walk to my house in like 30 minutes probably, yeah yeah, my parents.
Speaker 3:When they found that out, they're like oh, we're sending you to east. They're like, nope, you're not going to west, you're not ending up like no sister. No literally, and I'm sitting back like bro. I just want to do welding, please. They're just like nope, nope.
Speaker 4:They had welding at East though.
Speaker 3:No, they didn't.
Speaker 4:No, they didn't, Bro?
Speaker 3:the welding class is the one that you have to shuttle to West for.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It was intro.
Speaker 4:They had a wood shop intro to tech auto, yeah, but we had welding machines for taters.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, I remember they had it, was it named? I think it was tatro, because that's the class intro to tech went into to do the welding.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I remember that well, he had like an engineering class where they taught you how to weld and do all the electronics, so you could just learn all of it at once.
Speaker 2:I think that was like the advance right like like the what's it called? Yeah, it was like uh, there was an advanced it's. It was an advanced course. You have to. You can't just get it right off the bat.
Speaker 3:You have to do welding here and then and like, get like experience, I guess yeah, because I wish I was lit, though we had a hell of fun.
Speaker 4:I wish, bro I think you try it too and you're like no, you can only have one rop yeah, I was trying to do multiple rops I see dj like poke through, poke through the back, because the garage for the auto class and the woodshop room is connected and he'd like pop in and be like, and I'd see him. I'd be like, and we'd just be lit in there. He'd be like, hey, what y'all be doing, I'd be like we'd just be having fun.
Speaker 3:I miss going into your guys' classes because it would be so different. The environment of woodshop we were literally around bro.
Speaker 4:Every day was just like these dudes just go to class and they're just laughing coming from the classroom, literally. I remember one time what was it? We were saying something that was like annoying the witch. I'll teach you. He was like someone says that one more time we're doing book work for a week.
Speaker 1:You just hear a kid in the back.
Speaker 4:Ah, come on, he's like book work for a week I can imagine him doing something like that too.
