Like one time I'm in the train female, maybe in her 30s, 40s. She's complaining about food and something like that, right? And then somet at some point she starts complaining and starts to piss on herself. Piss on herself. I'm standing up and she starts to pee on herself through her clothing. And I'm just watching the piss blow from her leg onto the floor. Alright, welcome back to another episode of No Games, No Filter Podcast.

But just to start this episode off, I wanted to ask you, Rom, what's some of the places that are memorable to you that you have traveled to?

SPEAKER_01 1:20

Huh. So, right, it's kind of crazy. I I'm uh I'm a it's like a gift and a curse, right? Because one of the places I actually loved, which everybody knows, but I like Mexico. So I actually I got married in Mexico too. So it was actually a dope thing. It was really, really dope. Not saying it's a curse, whatever. Yeah, obviously it was a great thing. I got married out there, but um, I don't know, I just liked Mexico. I like back then it was just like, you know what I'm saying? Back then it was crazy back then. Can'cun was fucked out.

SPEAKER_02 1:47

I mean, it still is though, man. I've been there like four times. Probably the most I've been any like one of them.

SPEAKER_01 1:53

It turned to whole black, like bad black people now, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:55

Yeah, because I'm I mean, downtown is lit. Like when you was downtown, where'd you go? Like, no, we did you go downtown Cancun? We stayed in Do you ever go downtown Cancun? Wait, wait, wait. I mean, you've been to Cancun?

SPEAKER_01 2:07

Oh no, I've always been downtown. But the last time I went recently, okay, okay, okay. I went and I did it. I stayed in my hotel.

SPEAKER_02 2:14

No, it's okay now, okay. But the other times you went downtown.

SPEAKER_01 2:17

Yeah, oh I was downtown. So I got after I got married, we went downtown. We was downtown running around.

SPEAKER_02 2:22

Quick story. Probably my girlfriend at the time, we went there. Obviously, my wife now went to Cancun years ago. I booked a hotel, I think it was Beach Palace, uh Cancun. The hotel was beautiful, don't get me wrong. Hot tub, all that good stuff. One night we planned to go downtown, copped on the dollar bus, went to um, I forgot what the place was called, but it was like a spot that only opened up Friday nights.

SPEAKER_01 2:50

Um I don't know, that's like Coco Bongo.

SPEAKER_02 2:52

Nah, it wasn't cocoa. I did we we we we we did go go bongo.

SPEAKER_01 2:55

Yeah, but that's corny.

SPEAKER_02 2:56

That was corny, bro. It was a lot going on, a lot of like it just wasn't it wasn't there. But I it might have been something else where it was another spot that was open Friday nights that that it came with like bottle service, like you had your own table where it was a table of random people, but everybody had a um a bottle on the table. And me and my wife was out there having a freaking great time, bro. We was dancing, we was chilling. By the time the night ended, we was trying to get the dollar bus back, yakking, bro. I yaked up on the side, like Cancun is a memorable spot for me because there's been plenty of times where shit got, you know, after hours type crazy, where we got into there's an alley next to one of the spots where you go buy a table. The tables are close to, you know, the women's spots, you know what I mean? So crazy. It's a little bit of mixing of everything, which is like it's a good time out there. It's a good time. I'm a cigar smoker, so uh every time I'm out there, you got the ladies walking around with cigars, so I'm always buying cigars. Um, Cancun is just it's fun, man. And not to give you too much detail, but there's been a time where we was taken to the side room, showed the talent, said I'm no thank you. Yeah. Some people wanted it, and I left.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:15

You know what I mean? Like that's always an option if you if you're trying to move like that. It is Mexico.

SPEAKER_01 4:20

I yeah, I think um, I think Mexico is dope. I think Mexico's dope. Obviously, we went to DR for your wedding. Yeah, yeah. I've been DR twice too. What three times?

SPEAKER_02 4:29

No, I've been to DR two or two or three times at this point.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

VR was actually pretty good too. DR was like cool, calm. But everything in the vacation mode is really what you're looking to do, right? It's what you make it.

SPEAKER_02 4:39

It's what you make it.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

People go to DR and wow out. Or people go to DR and be on some children. Like you're just on your vibes, you know what I'm saying? I've been to um I've been to Jamaica too. Jamaica was cool. I went from I like Jamaica, man. But that BTR, BT something weekend. I don't know, that weekend that it'd be crazy there.

SPEAKER_02 4:54

Like a beach party weekend?

SPEAKER_01 4:56

Nah, it was some kind of like um it's not Dream Week, right? Yes, Dream Weekend.

SPEAKER_02 5:01

You went to Dream Week? Yes, bro. I've been I've been I've been telling my homies who were from Jamaica to like, yo, pull me. Like, no, you go. But they but they said it's not like it's not it's not what it is anymore. No, but remember, I went.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

This is when I was.

SPEAKER_02 5:13

When you was young. That's because back then it was popping. They said it's not the same no more.

SPEAKER_01 5:17

No, it was it was you know, it was unreal.

SPEAKER_02 5:19

But it was unreal at that point, you know what though, but I ain't really. What you what you remember around that time?

SPEAKER_01 5:25

I ain't really like be honest, man. I don't know if I really liked it like you didn't really like it, right? Because it was a little too like, remember, Jamaica get a little raw, like you know what I'm saying? That dream beacon was kind of crazy. I remember going to and then like remember, they don't it had some clubs, but it wasn't clubs back then. It was like um backyard parties and yeah, they they do like the backyard grilling with the I remember I saw like freaking least, and then we then they had then they they had a um, and then one of the parties was inside of a water park. Water park, yes, a water park. Okay, and the everybody's in the pool, the water like was green. It's like it was like a pool, but the water looked green and everybody was in the water. I just wanted to- Why is it green? Because it was just it was just so many people packed in there, maybe it was drinking, smoking, and I don't know what we're so it just looked in nasty, and um not trying to play Jamaica, I'm just being honest. I don't know, I don't want it to be like I'm trying to play. But it was just like I just thought it was like um it was just too much for me back then, you know what I'm saying? I didn't really like the vibe like that. Um it was just it was crazy. You get a wristband, you go to each individual parties, and you was it was wow. But I'm I'm I'm more so looking at like my surroundings than and if I gotta worry about my surroundings, then I was like, I just was a little much.

SPEAKER_02 6:39

You ever heard of like um Beach Weekend in like Atlantic City? Nah. They do the care about the like the Caribbean thing. I used to go there every year. Nah, it was called like I forgot what it was called. It was like Beach Party something, right? It's good, bro. Fire, bro. Atlantic City? Fire. I used to go every year. Every the last year I went was the same year that my uh that my brother passed, so that was the last year I went. Oh wow because everybody else started outgrowing it a little bit. But we used to do that every year. I forgot what it was, man. A lot of last year we were we were, I don't know if you know the artist, but Alkaline was there the last year.

SPEAKER_01 7:11

Oh, so it was crazy out there.

SPEAKER_02 7:12

It was crazy, but to tell you that story, the reason why I tell you that story is because before that we used to go every year up to can't uh to Canada to Carabana. If you if you've been to Carabana, I never been out there. If you've been to Carabana and in um Canada in Toronto, you missing a a movie being made. I'm I'm too old for that now, don't get me wrong. When I was in my 20s, yo, a movie in the making. I'm telling you, a movie in the you go up there with five, six dudes, you go to the parties. I mean, what what it is is it's around the festival, you know, the costume festival, things like that. But the buildup to the festival is parties around that festival. I mean beach parties, I mean day parties, I mean night party, I mean every type of party you're looking for. And I haven't been out there. Back then, it was before my wife. Talent out there was so it's crazy. It's crazy, beautiful, bro. And the way they I don't, I don't, I don't know if you're used to this, but the way Caribbean women move, they move it was crazy. Woo! Crazy. They move, they move like they move in the club, like they like it's it's they fucking. Yeah, they fucking and it was it's different, bro. And I I went for like four straight, five, straight years. Yeah, so which is the point where you get a little too old for the situation, but but it was the experience. Yo, something that I think if you have not gone, please do. Yeah, Canada's a wave, Carabanas, middle of the summer, probably July, August. Do it if you go to um uh Trinidad Tobago, do that festival. To me, it's a little too much walking, not my not my swag.

SPEAKER_01 8:58

I never been out there, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:59

Not me, me either. Some of my homies have been out there, but um, it's a good time to say. Yeah, good time to say.

SPEAKER_01 9:05

Well, where's another spot that either one that you actually you loved yourself or a spot you're trying to go to?

SPEAKER_02 9:12

So the spot that I've gone to that I love, that I always speak about, is I've been to Tokyo. I've been to Tokyo.

SPEAKER_01 9:18

How was that?

SPEAKER_02 9:19

That was amazing. That was the experience of culture, the experience of food, experience of authentic ramen was just it was amazing. Um, I was out there for almost two weeks during the Cherry Blossom Festival. I actually stayed at the Godzilla Hotel downtown, where it's a strip where it's just a bunch of convenience stores. How long was the flight? We did a non-stop flight, 15 and a half hours. How'd you do that? Uh a lot of sleep, a lot of a lot of wine, a lot of a lot of just do it, bro.

SPEAKER_01 9:52

Alright, so you know we because we about to go, we about to be in Turkey. Yeah. Are you worried about the the flight time?

SPEAKER_02 9:58

I mean, yeah, because also we in coach. So there's no recline on them seats. So it's rough when it comes to that.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Wait, you did it in first class when you went?

SPEAKER_02 10:09

Nah, I was in the same. I was in the coach, bro. And what happened? It was uncomfortable, man. What do you mean? Uh them them seats barely recline. Like you're on a flight for 15 hours is crazy, bro. Um, especially when on these type of flights, most most of the time they give you, they give you the country of origin of origins food. So we had Japanese food on the way to Japan. So we go to Turkey. We'll probably get some Turkey food on that plane. Don't know what that food is? Well, we we we're gonna have to deal with it, man.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

Wait, so how is the so oh because the the receipts the seats is uncomfortable?

SPEAKER_02 10:46

I mean, you and coach, bro, for 15 hours, like we're barely even recline. It's it's like going in the back of spirit and then and not being able to recline. Yo, for 15 hours. First class would probably be like business. We don't need no first business, bro. Business class, man. Business. I feel like business is is plenty enough, but it wasn't that type of trip. It wasn't that type of trip. Oh business class? Yeah, we in the we we we have a mission right now. The mission is to get in, to get out, and and then you you you you guys will see the final, the final, what's it called? Bro, the final result. It's over over this over next summer, 2027, next summer.

SPEAKER_01 11:22

So next summer, so next summer is gonna be over.

SPEAKER_02 11:24

We're gonna be outside. Yeah, we're gonna be outside. I keep telling people 2027 summer. If if if if if you see me outside, don't bother me. Because I'm I'm I'm gonna be outside.

SPEAKER_01 11:34

So, what's the spot that you want to um that you would matter your favorite spot?

SPEAKER_02 11:38

So the favorite spot is Tokyo because what spot you would you so the next the next spot on my list that I would love to probably go to, and it's nothing crazy, it's probably London because I want to do some soccer games out there.

SPEAKER_01 11:54

But London's like New York, kinda, right?

SPEAKER_02 11:56

Yeah, it is, but it's it's nothing crazy. Actually, I'm I'm gonna take London back. The place I will go to before it goes like underwater is Venice. Because they're close to being like completely underwater because of how mu how much that city is sinking every year.

SPEAKER_01 12:13

Yeah?

SPEAKER_02 12:14

Yeah, like that's a place that being on top of my list right now.

SPEAKER_01 12:17

Wait, so they going through something?

SPEAKER_02 12:19

They go in, no, they're going through, you know, the the rise of ocean waters, which is pretty much putting the city underwater. You know, you know what I mean? Like how Miami's gonna apparently be underwater at some point. We we can't stop that water line. It's gonna keep rising to the point where we can't fight it, where we're gonna have to keep moving closer and closer to inland.

SPEAKER_01 12:38

Oh, so that's what they do, they just move they just move.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

No, I don't know what they're doing now, but it hasn't hit them yet. But you know, they're trying to build like water levees and stuff like that to try to overcome the issue, but it's gonna hit them. It's gonna hit them at some point where we're gonna have to just move away from like downtown Miami. Ain't gonna be no downtown Miami, it's gonna be straight ocean. That's crazy. It's almost like New Orleans, man. The the levee, if that levee wasn't there, that whole city's underwater. They're below the sea level. Like, we shouldn't be building cities below the sea level. It's just different.

SPEAKER_01 13:09

What do they do? They just put levies and they just get it.

SPEAKER_02 13:11

They levees to stop the water, but if something happens, that whole city's underwater. It don't make no damn. It don't make it don't make no sense, bro. It don't make no sense. But Tokyo was amazing. I could choose a place. I'm probably going, what'd I say? I'm probably going to London or not in London. I'm going to Venice. Yeah, Venice, Italy, right? Yeah, Italy, Italy. Italy, and I think uh I'm really trying to plan a trip to Ireland. Dublin, Ireland this year. That's kind of one of my goals. Dublin. Dublin, I'm a uh uh I'm a landscape guy. I'm a landscape guy. I'm uh I'm gonna bring the drone, bring the gimbal, the cameras, I'm gonna have everything on on point out there just to see how good it's like. Yeah, I mean, Iceland, I would do Iceland to see uh what's that those lights? Is that where they sat?

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Those lights at um um I know um I remember it was a there was a mom that was on my my football team when we were little and they she was from Iceland.

SPEAKER_02 14:14

She used to say like she was born there, born there. Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:18

Like, oh, we should go out there. Yeah, we might be able to go out there. But she wasn't white though.

SPEAKER_02 14:23

But that's that's that that's the place that has the natural springs. Yeah, so that's yeah, that that's a must. I just won't make that true with my current son right now, he's too young for that.

SPEAKER_01 14:33

But that flight is probably stupid.

SPEAKER_02 14:35

No, I think it's like 15 hours, right? Yeah, I think that flight is like seven, it's not that bad. I did 15 straight because I I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 14:44

But how do you feel at 15 straight though?

SPEAKER_02 14:46

Bro, you just get through it, man. You have a destination to go to, but you can't do that turnaround so fast. Like, I was out there for two weeks. So by the time you get there, the hour change, it don't hurt that much.

SPEAKER_01 14:57

You know what I mean? But wait, but you might just be on a flight for that long. You get over it, bro. You just gotta you just gotta get over it. You you wasn't like this is getting you.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

It was, but what you gonna do? You trapped in a plane, like it got over. So after a while, you was like, oh, this is it's like it's like you go crazy because you're like, hey, what do I do now? I got nothing to do for the next five, six hours besides play my freaking fingers, bro. What was you doing though? So I was watching other other passengers drink wine, and I'm like, is that wine complimentary? She's like, yeah. I got lit. I got lit because like everybody, homie next to me, two, three rolls in front of me, was lit, man. He was lit off of red wine. I'm like, I'm about to be lit, but I had my father next to me who really doesn't drink.

SPEAKER_01 15:42

Oh, it's kind of just like. Oh, he was doing Tokyo 2 with you?

SPEAKER_02 15:46

The whole fam, man. Whole fam. At that point, my little brother was stationed out in Tokyo for like two years.

SPEAKER_01 15:51

Oh, that's the one that passed away?

SPEAKER_02 15:52

Yeah, yeah. He was stationed out there for two years.

SPEAKER_01 15:55

So he was you was going to see him?

SPEAKER_02 15:57

Yeah, I was going to see him, but we stayed no, we stayed like we didn't stay close though.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

He was younger than you.

SPEAKER_02 16:01

Yeah, a couple years younger than me, yeah. A couple years younger than me. He was stationed out there. Um we went to go see him probably for like two days out out of the the two weeks. And we went to a club. Like, if you've ever been to a Japanese club, five different rooms, five different musics, lit. I mean, it was a lot of drugs, so I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_01 16:22

It is, right?

SPEAKER_02 16:23

But we we went on a bus to get to the club. The bus was we they had like uh uh what do you call that that man, that female, that man that dressed like a girl on buses, like drag queens. So we had the drag queen as like kind of the the host of the boat uh of the bus. And it was lit. It was a good time out there. I'm not gonna lie. It was a great experience. But nice, nice. I saw it's someplace that I I need to go back. You would do it. Yeah, because we went like downtown to like to light district. Like it's um, I mean the light district is different.

SPEAKER_01 16:55

Nah, that's actually dope. But it don't is it Tokyo that has the is it China? I don't even know. They got the little go-karts. It's Tokyo. Tokyo?

SPEAKER_02 17:02

It's Tokyo. Okay. It's still them the things in the street. The thing is, I don't know if you heard about it, but like locals hate that. Because the tourists be like in the way of everybody. They hate that.

SPEAKER_01 17:14

So wait, wait, you get to ride goes because you're in the middle of the street.

SPEAKER_02 17:18

You're you you're buying, you're driving go karts in the middle of regular traffic. Locals hate it, bro. Locals hate it. They hate it, they hate it because it's us just like trying to play Mario Kart in the middle of actual traffic. Oh, that's horrible. I don't give a fuck. Like, I'm doing it. Like, that's just it looks lit to me. I'll put the helmet on, I'll put the Mario hat on, give me the fit. Like, just don't have it. Yes, you have to you can pick the fit, man. You can pick the fit of the character driving the city. Like, it's lit, man. It's lit. Like, I wish I did it, but like I didn't know about it at that time. Oh. I didn't know about it at that time.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

Wait, they had it back then too?

SPEAKER_02 17:55

Yeah, they had it for years, bro. They had it for years, bro.

SPEAKER_01 17:57

Nah, I don't know that.

SPEAKER_02 17:58

Had it for years, man. Had it for years. So it's it's definitely a good experience with things like that.

SPEAKER_01 18:03

Nah, I would go. I would do it. I would do it too, bro.

SPEAKER_02 18:06

Yeah, they have some spirits, though. But like, just so you guys know, too, it's like, and I promise you some hacks and things like that. So the way like you can find some good travel hacks and things like that is to use like the the main website I use is Google Flights. So Google Flights is a is an easy way to track your flights. It gives you alerts of when flights change up, change down. You can kind of play around with different flights if you want to add layaways. Like it's cool to add layaways to bring your price down because you get to like travel to multiple countries if it's over 24 hours, 48 hours, things like that. So cool little tricks like that. Use that to track. So, like for me, I'm a United member where um if I buy a basic ticket, not a basic economy, but if I buy a basic ticket, I get free cancellation every single, you know, no matter what time period. So, what I do is the trick for me is what I do is I buy a flight and I keep canceling the flight, rebooking it, canceling. There's a lower price, rebook it, cancel, rebook it, cancel, rebook it.

SPEAKER_01 19:04

Oh, definitely.

SPEAKER_02 19:04

I'd be doing the shit out of that.

SPEAKER_01 19:06

Wait, but only with United, though.

SPEAKER_02 19:08

So it it only comes with with the non-basic flight. Like if you on a budget budget, the lowest budget like ticket, like what we got going to Turkey, it's a non-refundable fucking ticket. But if you get above that ticket and you could free cancellation, you could just play around with the tickets and just get the lowest price. I do it all the time. I do it all the time.

SPEAKER_01 19:30

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_02 19:30

And then when you and then when you when you cancel that ticket, you don't get the cash back, don't get me wrong, you get credit for a future flight. So you just keep building up credit for a future flight. You got $20, $30, $20, $30, it just builds up. So by the next time you fly, you got $50 on your account, it knocks down that flight, it's cheaper. It's easy, bro. It's do stuff like that. Or like I said, if you're trying to, let's say you're trying to go to Venice, add a stop in there. Like maybe let's say we not have we don't have we don't have a war going on and you want to stop in Dubai for two days. Add the stop in Dubai, it's gonna probably make the trip cheaper because of the stop. A lot of times we like to go direct, it could be a little more expensive.

SPEAKER_01 20:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:12

So if you on the budget, then you rather just yeah, sometimes it's worth doing a stop because especially like with certain loyalty members, if you stop, you get an extra like PRP point, PQP point, which is per flight you use. It helps you, it makes it makes a lot of benefits. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I used to to uh track our flight to uh Turkey. Wow at this point it's non-refundable. I don't care if we get a lower price or not, we going.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

Wait, you ever seen it? You still be looking at it?

SPEAKER_02 20:42

No, what I can't do nothing with it, bro. It's non-refundable. We're going. It's a dub. That's what I'm trying to tell you, bro. Like, right now, it's a dub. We go in, we're going no matter what. I don't know if you want to share with them what Turkey's really evolving, but we go in there to see the sights. There you go. So we go in there to see the sights. It's gonna be a lot of sightseeing, a lot of, you know, some sound.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

I mean, they probably know what the hell we're going there to do.

SPEAKER_02 21:09

Nobody, we only go people go to Turkey for one thing only. Yeah, I ain't gonna say, but that's what it is. No, it's coming though, man. Coming soon. We're gonna. You know what it's crazy?

SPEAKER_01 21:17

So like what we're gonna do, we want to track the journey, make sure that you guys see all of this that's happening. It's gonna be a big for me, it's gonna be big, you know what I'm saying? It's like a whole change, you know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, life is about change and and going to the next step. So I'm I'm all for it though. But I wanna I wanna make sure that everybody sees, get the whole, you know, you want to like share that hopeful journey. Why not, man? Because you get to see, like, you know, the journey that you know we're about to go through.

SPEAKER_02 21:42

Yeah, I feel like it's gonna be something, uh, it's gonna be something memorable because I guess like I said, like after six months, I'm I'm gonna be outside. Six months. And you don't want me to be out. I'm telling y'all, yeah, y'all don't want me outside. Yeah, y'all want me outside.

SPEAKER_01 21:58

Like I'm hat gang for I love hats, but there's a reason why. If you know the reason, there's a reason why I'm hat gang. Right.

My wife was like, yo, she she was like, Can you bring it down just a little bit more than your natural line? I'm like, I was already thinking that. Just you know, just bringing it down a little bit where it's like, you know, that's a new man right there.

SPEAKER_01 23:47

It was like, yeah, be so if they tell you a little, you're gonna be like, No, bring it out a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 23:53

Bring it a little like another centimeter, level centimeter. Make it look natural, but like being a little centimeter where it's like you want it aggressive.

SPEAKER_01 24:00

I want it to be like the dude said it, he said they give you a thing, then you could go aggressive if you want.

SPEAKER_02 24:05

It's like I want you to know that when I pop in, like, y'all know who this is. Yeah, I'm a new man, man. I'm trying to come back a new man. I'm trying to come back a new man. Yeah, I'm trying to come back a new man. I'm gonna keep saying that I'm trying, I'm trying to come back a new man. Yeah, bro. I know you gotta just go all the way because you hope you hope that this is one time only. Once the scenario where you just gotta just do your best job to take care of it and then move forward from there.

SPEAKER_01 24:29

Yeah, I mean that's what it that's what it is. Does the habit? Use the habit. Actually, you feel like it was the best thing they ever did. So everybody that I even seen online it's a big cough in this level. Or it's just crazy. It's a big cough in this level. Changes the game, changes the game, changes the game. No, but that's gonna be us, bro.

SPEAKER_02 24:48

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You you have any like destinations that you might want to take a female to? Like Bora Bora, Hawaii, like, yeah, I think all of those is dope.

SPEAKER_01 24:56

Hawaii, I heard it's not so great because of expensive and stuff, right? I mean it's overexpensive, but what you gonna do about it? Yeah, I don't know. I heard it's not that great, but it's a lot of um uh homeless people should have heard out around.

SPEAKER_02 25:09

I feel like that's you get that anywhere where it's warm.

SPEAKER_01 25:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:12

Where it's overly warm. Like you've been to Kell um LA before?

SPEAKER_01 25:14

I heard it's crazy, man.

SPEAKER_02 25:15

I've been to Malibu, the homeless out there was was they was like, I'm I'm out eating at a food truck, and they're just literally in front of me going through the trash. And people are offering them to buy food, and they're not giving you no response.

SPEAKER_01 25:31

It's a lot.

SPEAKER_02 25:32

It's bad. It's bad because the weather's so nice, they're sleeping on all the benches. It's like New York, but it's like they don't get the cold. Like, like New York's home, like homeless situation, especially on the subway, it gets bad. I I've had I've I have horror stories of being on that train, of seeing people piss. Like one time I'm in the train, female, maybe in her 30s, 40s. She's complaining about food and something like that, right? And then sometime at some point she starts complaining and starts to piss on herself. Piss on herself. I'm standing up and she starts to pee on herself through her clothing. And I'm just watching the piss flow from her leg onto the floor. I I mean, all what do what do women do? I just change carts. Like, this is everyday situation where it might be a little nasty.

SPEAKER_01 26:24

She was crazy.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

I mean, they just, you know, they're probably a little off, but there's been one time where, and this is kind of a little gross too, where it's like, Humbo was beating his me on a train. No, swear, man, beating his me on a train. He had everybody switch carts, but like with the biggest grin, he's just like yanking it. Like on the freaking train, bro. This is how New York train is, bro. Like, I don't, I can't stand this. This is why, and this is why I know I know a lot of New Yorkers don't drive the train. I mean, don't ride the train because they have to deal with crap like this. Nah, I don't like the train, bro. I gotta do what I gotta do, bro. I gotta do what I gotta do. I work for the train company. Oh, I gotta do a transit? I work for train. I gotta do what I gotta do. Yeah, man, I gotta do what I gotta do. I get a free pass, uh to get on the train. Where else am I gonna go? Damn. I needed to get to work. And and and you go for free. For free. For free. Even though I don't live, it doesn't benefit me because I don't live in the city. It benefits all of them who be.

SPEAKER_01 27:26

How far does it take? How long does it take you to get there?

SPEAKER_02 27:28

To work? About an hour and a half every day.

SPEAKER_01 27:33

Yeah, man. How long it takes me to get home? Same day?

SPEAKER_02 27:36

That's rougher.

SPEAKER_01 27:37

It's even crazier.

SPEAKER_02 27:38

It's even rougher. I'd probably get home. I'd probably go off work at like five. I'm not long enough to house until like six forty-five, six fifty. That's it. Every day, too. Every day. Sometimes you'd be like, this is the bullshit. I mean, what you want me? I can't. This is the this is the job that pays my bills. I can't do nothing about it. I mean, I just gotta deal with it. It's rough, but like, what are you gonna do? I spend my weekends enjoying doing the doing uh doing the things I enjoy. That's all I can say. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:07

But you work on the weekends too, or no?

SPEAKER_02 28:09

We get the whole day to chill out, do activities. Yeah, Friday, Saturday. Yeah, Friday, Saturday, and I'm I work from home on Monday. I mean on Sundays. You work from home? Yeah, I work from home. Every other day I'm in the city, but I work from home on Sunday. Oh, so it's not so bad.

unknown 28:36

SPEAKER_02 28:36

Nah, I ain't gonna home. It's still work. I I I gotta be on that computer for like eight hours. It is what it is. Your son be right there. I mean, my my wife picks most of the duty up on Sundays. Oh, you just get to work. I gotta work, man. Gotta pay the bills, right? So Sundays mostly she takes over and I'm just chilling. Doing what I gotta do, you know?

SPEAKER_01 28:59

SPEAKER_01 29:00

SPEAKER_01 29:02

Yeah, man. So now the traveling thing. So we we gonna definitely monitor it though, bro.

SPEAKER_02 29:06

Nah, for sure, for sure, for sure. One thing before we end this episode is I have to ask you, I don't know if we spoke about this, but how you feel about the uh, did we ask about this? The oversized, um, oversized people buying one or two seats on the plane. Like, it's been like a controversy over the time where it's like if you're over a certain weight and you're spilling over into a second seat, airlines are requiring you to buy a second seat, but they're over here debating or arguing because, hey, that's not fair. I'm like, it's not fair that you ate two burgers and the rest of us ate one burger, and last sheek is on two sheets. And I'm not coming at you. But sometimes you gotta control the way you eat.

SPEAKER_01 29:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:47

Because we didn't make you overweight, you decide to make yourself overweight. And I'm just trying to be respectful because I want you in the gym with me working out, but I know you don't want to do that.

SPEAKER_01 29:59

Yeah. It's rough, bro. I mean, listen, at that point, if you are spilling over into the next seat, it it ain't it ain't fair.

SPEAKER_02 30:05

That's not fair, bro. It's not fair that I have to share half a cheek with your ass. You need to buy a second seat. I don't know. And just make flying more expensive. Because you know what?

SPEAKER_01 30:17

If you have a three-row, like where it's three people, yeah, and they're any way in any which way in there, then the other two people are gonna be really in a bad spot.

SPEAKER_02 30:28

100%. It's not fair. It's not fair, and and airlines are now forcing it. Because like, if you show up and you got the middle seat, or you got the IO seat, and homie got like, let's say me and you, we we're pulling up dirty, and you got a 300-pound sitting next to you with half cheek on your cheek. There's no way you're gonna be sitting through that flight, be like, nah, nah, nah, nah. Staff, like, yeah, nah, nah, nah, nah. What would you do? Nah, get this mother F out this fucking place, bro. He cannot share my seat when I paid full price for this damn seat and your cheek is on my seat.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

Give me half the money back out of the day.

SPEAKER_02 31:04

Nah, ha half free fucking flight, man. You on my seat, free flight. It's almost like, and I'm not even trying to come at you to be honest, but like when I see the request for the second belt, you ever seen that? You ever been to a person where they can't fit the airplane belt and they have the request for an extended belt?

SPEAKER_01 31:24

Nah, I ain't never seen it before.

SPEAKER_02 31:25

My wife has seen it. I've seen it. I don't sit next to that person because my wife has the middle seat, but she's been next where you have the person who needs an extended belt because the current belt can't go over their stomach.

SPEAKER_01 31:39

Damn, bro.

SPEAKER_02 31:40

And that's the country, that's the way we're at in this country, which is sad. Fucking terrible. It's sad, bro. It's like I don't expect everyone to be healthy and fit, but like, come on, man.

SPEAKER_01 31:51

Nah.

SPEAKER_02 31:51

You gotta take a little better care of yourself.

SPEAKER_01 31:53

You're doing it to yourself, bro.

SPEAKER_02 31:55

Yeah, because I I just want everyone to be healthy and I don't care what kind of food you eat. It's just be healthy, be happy, and that's skin you in. Like I always say, just do your best. That's it, man.

SPEAKER_01 32:05

Don't don't be on the bull. I don't blame you, man. I just feel like that's something, that's a self-ding, man. You better start just I mean, look, if you but if if you don't, you know, worry about it now, later on it's gonna affect you.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

100%, man. Either now or later.

SPEAKER_01 32:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:18

Either now or later. And I feel like um talking about that point, we can we can kill us off right now.
