So if you want to dish it, we'll dish it right back. Oh, Yeah, I just got back from vacation. A guys trip I did to Myrtle Beach.
Golfing.
Vacationing, bruh.
Different now.
[00:02:05] Speaker B: What do you mean?
[00:02:06] Speaker A: Compared to how we grew up? I got kids staying in rooms that as a 30 something year old was never touching. That as a kid growing up. My parents wasn't sending me to no golf resort where I get my own little bat wristband and get to just wander off with my phone and that. No, first of all, I didn't even fly growing up. Let's just, let's just start with that fact. Okay? Growing up, I think I can recall flying twice in my childhood. We drove everywhere we went on vacation, which the moment we got in the car, it was already vacation. That was my standard. Just get in the car with Gucci. You remember when the hotel itself was your vacation because you had the pool? Your parents allowed you to go down to the pool by yourself. You had your room key, you could go down and get the breakfast that was free, complimentary. And your parents wasn't bugging about you just going there and eating.
That was the vacation by itself for me.
[00:03:09] Speaker B: Now you're talking about when you was a kid, right? Yes. Okay.
[00:03:11] Speaker A: Yeah, as a kid.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: I'm just trying to follow because it still sounds very fun and lavish to me.
[00:03:17] Speaker A: Oh, I'm not saying it's not. I'm saying kids nowadays, like, that would not be a vacation.
They'd be like, we get in the car, going somewhere.
[00:03:26] Speaker B: See, I'm, I'm still trying to put together what vacation, what that means.
I'm, I'm still trying to get the definition of that. Because growing up like a vacation for us was just. My dad took time off of work right now, now, it didn't mean that we was like on vacation. It just meant that we was going to do. And we did a lot of house projects during vacation.
[00:03:45] Speaker A: Well then if you ever, if you guys ever went to a hotel, what was that then? Well, okay, that was vacation.
[00:03:50] Speaker B: Okay, now that's. Here it is. Here it is. Now. See, like my dad, we drove a van.
[00:03:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:56] Speaker B: So we can sleep in the van. So we wasn't staying at hotels. Like hotels was something we dreamed about. Like even now, this is how crazy it is. I'm Hawaiian, you know, bro, I'm tell you something, I'm gonna tell you something. I'm Hawaiian.
[00:04:08] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:04:09] Speaker B: My family's from Hawaii. By my, my, my whole. I've been to Hawaii maybe three times as a kid and that was the only time. And we had to fly because we weren't Gonna take a boat?
[00:04:20] Speaker A: No. And you're not driving.
[00:04:21] Speaker B: But. But I had always told myself that I wish I could see Hawaii from the eyes and the points of view of the people who were visiting. See, when I go to Hawaii, it wasn't about vacation. Like, when I get to Hawaii, I hug like two, three of my aunts and then I gotta go help my cousins in the yard or. Or it's time to go get the yard work done. Or it's time to go help with the animals. I had chores when I got to Hawaii. Like, I never got to see Hawaii as Hawaii. Like how everybody else seen it in the vacation wise. And then this was my vacation. This was the time out of school. This was when it was summertime and it was like, oh, I'm going to Hawaii. I thought I was going to Hawaii to party. No, no.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: Going there to work.
[00:05:00] Speaker B: Work.
[00:05:01] Speaker A: It was like a second home.
It was the second house that your family leased. And we got out there and then
[00:05:07] Speaker B: if we had to drive, like, if we had to go see my grandfather who lived in Washington. We live in California, Northern California. When we went to go see my grandfather. Yeah, we drove and. Nah, we didn't stay in the hotel. We'll sleep at the rest stop in the van. The van was big enough to hold me and my family.
[00:05:20] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:05:21] Speaker B: That's how we did.
[00:05:22] Speaker A: I was the same way. If we driving was living on the east coast. We drove in, we drove from Virginia to freaking Florida.
[00:05:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:30] Speaker A: And same the hotels was also those intermittent intermission, I guess you would call them hotel stops. We're talking Motel 6, not the holiday Inn. That was kind of nice.
[00:05:41] Speaker B: Holiday Inn was nice. Yeah.
[00:05:43] Speaker A: Holiday Inn back then.
[00:05:43] Speaker B: Came out back then.
[00:05:45] Speaker A: But we was in the Motel 6 because we were literally there to sleep and wake up and get back in the car. Exactly. Nowadays hotels are really like, resorts for kids.
[00:05:57] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:05:57] Speaker A: Like, what do you mean? I only got a complimentary breakfast. What do you mean? I can't just go and order room service? Room service I never witnessed until I was an adult.
[00:06:08] Speaker B: Right. And you know what, though, like, and even. And even though, like, even though it wasn't as lavished as it was anything. Like, it wasn't. Like, we're stopping at hotels and we're getting like free breakfasts or something like that. Like, we were. We were driving in the van. We were sleeping in the van. We're doing that. I. I don't think I would still give that up for what they have today. I don't.
[00:06:27] Speaker A: Oh, I wouldn't either.
[00:06:28] Speaker B: I, I like feeling like we were just like traveling and just going places.
[00:06:33] Speaker A: We were living. It was an experience.
Yeah.
[00:06:36] Speaker B: Oh yeah.
[00:06:36] Speaker A: Because my everyday was not that life.
[00:06:40] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:06:41] Speaker A: Like on vacation, you sleeping in the car, fine. But you go to a gas station, parents let you get that occasional candy you couldn't always get. Like getting candy on vacation hit different than getting candy during the regular school year or work week.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: Oh yeah. And plus being on vacation like, like, or being on that time off when you was out there, like, you know, back home. If I would have asked my mom for a Snicker bar just on a regular day, like that ain't happening.
[00:07:06] Speaker A: Oh, that was a car. No sin.
[00:07:07] Speaker B: But in, in on vacation, we stopped at the gas station and she was like, hey, do you want a Snicker? It was like, what?
[00:07:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Your parents asking you if you wanted it when you're used to being like, if I asked, I might get slapped.
[00:07:18] Speaker B: Because it was a whole big experience
[00:07:20] Speaker A: for all of us.
[00:07:20] Speaker B: It wasn't just an experience for just me and my sisters and, and I tell you, like nowadays, like it's, it's crazy because I, I think doing that and traveling in the car, stuff like that, it made me appreciate what was, what was around me, what was in a different state, what was in a different thing. I was learning. I was learning how, you know, we play the license plate game on the road when you're driving out of state license plate. Out of state license plate.
[00:07:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:42] Speaker B: You start looking for that nowadays you can't get a kid to look up from his phone or his tablet when he's sitting in the car.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: That's even on an airplane.
[00:07:49] Speaker B: Like, airplane.
[00:07:50] Speaker A: That was the best. Was again, I only did it probably two, three times. And it was to go to Texas for like one of my cousins. Yeah. But just the fact of being on the airplane. Give me the window all day. Cause I'm gonna just play a game with myself where you open and you close and you open and you close and you may be halfway in it all day and then you just slide in the chair, see how much you
[00:08:13] Speaker B: can see all day, all day.
[00:08:15] Speaker A: Like there was no. We didn't live in the first class life where we had the TV on the back. I didn't have that.
I used to awe at reading the food, little menu, just complimentary this, complimentary that. And she'd come by, be like, can I get you something? I look at my mom and she's like, you heard it.
[00:08:31] Speaker B: What you want?
[00:08:34] Speaker A: Can I get the cranberry juice.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: Can I get it?
[00:08:36] Speaker A: Can I get the cranberry juice? Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you want the whole, you want the whole can? I can do that, Ma. Do you want it?
[00:08:43] Speaker B: Can I get a can? And I think that's like, that's like.
It blows my mind that some people are part of these everyday technology things and they don't even take like 3 seconds, 5 seconds to just go, holy crap. Like, I'm, I'm. I'm 30,000ft in the sky right now. Like, the clouds that are usually above me are now below me.
[00:09:03] Speaker A: It's like low level luxury. It's like I'm supposed to be here.
[00:09:07] Speaker B: Going from San Francisco to Hawaii, when we would fly home, that was a four and a half hour flight across the Pacific Ocean, which is the biggest ocean on the planet.
And to go across and to look up and to be in there for like two hours and then look again and we still over this big blue ocean.
[00:09:22] Speaker A: But it looks different, though. It can look different.
[00:09:24] Speaker B: Huge.
[00:09:25] Speaker A: It can look different. Huge difference. So I gotta ask you, I'm gonna transition now to when it came to driving.
Cause I feel like there were certain parents and certain levels of the dad when it came to driving. Okay. Was your dad, Mr. Crack? A dawn Time is time. Like if he said 6am, we are out at 6am, brah.
[00:09:47] Speaker B: I learned how to navigate, calculate gas mileage, calculate distance and time. Because my father was like that. Now, my father, he was a. When he was in the Navy, he worked on submarines. And his job was the man that sat there and would look. Because you don't have windows on a submarine, Right. So in order to make a turn, you have to look at a map, you have to look at a clock, and then you have to look at your depth and you have to do all that. You have to add it up. And then look at the dude who's got the steering wheel and tell him, hey, in like six seconds, I need you to turn the thing to the, to the left at so many degrees, right. And he'd start the clock. So, yeah, when we drove. Yeah, my dad was. We was up, crack of dawn, early in the morning, getting there us. My dad was also the one that went to the gas station the night before.
[00:10:30] Speaker A: Yep, my dad.
[00:10:31] Speaker B: And same way, that way. When we started, he was like, I shouldn't have if I want to stop at the gas station. That's how he was. It was just. He grabbed some coffee.
[00:10:38] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:39] Speaker B: But it wasn't anything he needed. Essential from the gas station was your
[00:10:42] Speaker A: dad also the one that. That coffee stuff.
Nope. Nobody else got outside the car. He might have turned it off to save his gas. But nobody's getting out of the car to go to gross. To go to the gas station to get his car.
[00:10:52] Speaker B: Unless you need the bathroom.
[00:10:54] Speaker A: Well, usually so where I grew up, by the time you got up.
[00:10:58] Speaker B: So like what do you say? Nobody's getting out of the car when he's getting out.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: No. If it was just a coffee stop.
[00:11:02] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:11:02] Speaker A: You're not getting out.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: No.
[00:11:03] Speaker A: That's because I didn't drive long enough that you got a pee.
[00:11:06] Speaker B: But it stayed buckled. Yeah.
[00:11:08] Speaker A: What you unclipping for?
[00:11:09] Speaker B: And he can hear that clip all the way. Where you going?
[00:11:11] Speaker A: What you unclipping for?
[00:11:13] Speaker B: Cause that's how they used to say the minute you go to try to unclip. Before they would open the door, my dad would say something like, I'm just getting this, I'm just getting that. And then that's when we knew. Okay, we just got to see.
[00:11:23] Speaker A: Yeah, we just sitting here. We just.
[00:11:24] Speaker B: We ain't moving.
[00:11:25] Speaker A: Don't. And don't ask for mom to go in the back and grab something. Like, no, you are not changing anything.
[00:11:30] Speaker B: Whether it's rainy, snowy, it's cold as hell, whatever. When my dad did pull over to the gas station to fill up, if I didn't jump out the car the same time he did, if I didn't have my shoes on and was ready because I knew he was pulling up to the gas pump during this trip, because I had to jump out while he was hitting the gas, I was grabbing the windshield wipers, had to clean the windshield. And he would complain, like if I missed a bug, if there was a smear, if it didn't look right, like,
[00:11:57] Speaker A: oh, you got to clean.
[00:11:57] Speaker B: You're doing it again. Like, I probably have cleaned his windshield. The most I think I've done it was like four times at one stop.
[00:12:04] Speaker A: Yeah. No, driving on vacation was.
It was a full on mission operation.
[00:12:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, it was military ready. Yeah.
[00:12:13] Speaker A: As much as I used to hate it as an adult, I felt. I feel like it spilled me for success on prep. Cause it was like the night before, it's your checklist and you better wake up. My dad used to always say, you should be able to wake up, put drawers on and leave, wake up, brush teeth. Like outfit is laid out, bags by the door.
Hell, there was sometimes my dad, your bag had to be ready the night before. Cause he's already putting it in the vehicle.
Because when we get up, there is no, you're going to drag it down the stairs. Oh yeah, you're going to grab like every pillow, your favorite pillow. It better be in the car. Oh yeah, you better have everything you need. Charger, all that you ever get.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: You ever get half, like just on the road, you're not too far from the house, you'd be like, oh, I forgot it. But you scared to tell them. Oh, it just be like, it just be like, you know what, you got to. I'm going without it.
[00:13:02] Speaker A: You got to make that business decision.
And also being like, when your parents ask you for it, be like, is that home?
[00:13:07] Speaker B: So let me ask you something. If you about to start this family vacation, right, if, let's say you realize you forget it and you just pulled out, would you say, hey, just stop and I'll run back to the house?
[00:13:17] Speaker A: Are we talking as my, as childhood me or like I'm a grown adult now?
[00:13:21] Speaker B: Now, childhood you, now you in the back of the car, you, you know, you don't forget you forgot your favorite pillow.
Now the car only pulled out of the driveway and was and still in the street.
[00:13:32] Speaker A: And you realize it.
[00:13:33] Speaker B: Are you telling them, hey, stop, I'll run back in. Are you gonna do that?
[00:13:37] Speaker A: I don't think so.
[00:13:38] Speaker B: I would, I would, I would, I would chance that one. Because I'm, because I can see, I can see the house now. If I'm a good 300 yards away. We already made the first turn by the stop sign.
[00:13:49] Speaker A: Oh yeah? You done?
[00:13:50] Speaker B: We're done.
[00:13:51] Speaker A: Nope. So basically, when the house is no longer visible. Kiss it bye.
[00:13:56] Speaker B: Bye.
I've been at a campsite with my dad and my dad. Where your pillow at? Well, I was gonna tell you, but I didn't want you to turn around and be like, hey, you gotta go back and get your pillow.
[00:14:05] Speaker A: He said, I'm gonna chance it. If I'm by the drive, if I
[00:14:07] Speaker B: can see the house, I'm gonna be like. Just like, dad, you ain't got. Like, I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run it.
[00:14:12] Speaker A: I'm gonna leave the door open and everything.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: But hold on, that still might get me in trouble. Cuz that mean he gotta see.
[00:14:17] Speaker A: That's what I'm thinking about.
[00:14:17] Speaker B: You gotta turn the car off. He got to give me the keys because that's the only way to get back.
[00:14:21] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. You're talking about back then. This, this ain't where you had the garage door opener or you just got a Little.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: And if you do, he makes every. Like he.
[00:14:30] Speaker A: Because you.
[00:14:30] Speaker B: When you run in and you look back, everybody looking at you, the eyeballs is on you. Like, you holding up this whole trip right now.
[00:14:37] Speaker A: I'm gonna say no because I know back then I was that kid that would be so nervous I would possibly leave a light on. And if we was to get back and that light was on, I can't do it. I'm not risking. I'm not risking still getting a whooping post vacation for that pillow. That pillow ain't worth it, though.
[00:14:57] Speaker B: What's funny is, though, is like when my dad, when you asked me, is like, does he get up early, do all that stuff? What was funny is that actually transitioned into me because that's how I do things. Especially if I'm on the road traveling for comedy.
[00:15:07] Speaker A: Like.
[00:15:07] Speaker B: Yeah, on the road in the thing. I gotta hit this. I know it's this earlier.
It's gonna cost me this much in gas. Like, I do all my. My stuff as soon as I'm going out there, dog.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: Back then also, I give kudos.
Yeah, I'll give kudos. Because back then I thought it was amazing. No GPS.
[00:15:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:24] Speaker A: But my dad knew Highway 64 like, at the back of his hand, bro.
[00:15:31] Speaker B: My dad. My dad knew where he was going always. Always. But he always made me feel like we was lost.
And. And he did that on purpose to make me read the maps where he was like, hey, look on the map. Tell me where we are. Tell me when the next stop is.
[00:15:45] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:15:45] Speaker B: And I'd be like, okay. Or he'd be like, all right. He'd look at his mileage and he'd be like, okay, I'm only going to get about 400 miles. So what's the next. Where's the next thing that's going to come up on this? And then we. I would tell them, okay, you're looking for Grant's Pass, or you're looking for this one. Because we were driving up towards. Towards Washington. And he'd be like, all right, well, that Grants passed. That's. I said it's like 300 miles away, so we could probably make it like that. But I had to do that. Gps. I like it today, though.
I love my GPS today.
[00:16:12] Speaker A: Oh, it's close.
[00:16:13] Speaker B: If I had to go back to reading Thomas Guides.
[00:16:16] Speaker A: No.
[00:16:16] Speaker B: And printing out MapQuest.
[00:16:19] Speaker A: Can I do it still? Yes.
[00:16:21] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:16:22] Speaker A: Do I want. No. Absolute bro. Map Quest.
[00:16:25] Speaker B: MapQuest.
[00:16:26] Speaker A: I can't think of any other. Was MapQuest all you had? I only grew up just knowing MapQuest, I don't even know if there was a second website that could give you.
[00:16:35] Speaker B: No, it was called Thomas Guy. You bought them thick map books called Thomas Guy.
[00:16:39] Speaker A: But no, I mean just like on the, on the computer. Back then, all I knew was MapQuest.
[00:16:43] Speaker B: No, I think MapQuest like, but not. I think that was it when it came out.
[00:16:47] Speaker A: If you was an anti MapQuest and you'd be like, good luck, bro. I don't know any other site.
[00:16:51] Speaker B: Yeah, but as soon, as soon as GPS came out though MapQuest was Baba.
[00:16:55] Speaker A: Did your parent your first purchase, Was it a Garmin?
[00:16:59] Speaker B: No, it was a Tom Tom. Oh, my first GPS was Tom Tom.
[00:17:03] Speaker A: Yeah, I heard of, I heard of a Tom Tom. The first one my family had was a Garmin.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: Yeah, the Garmin was a little much. The Garmin was more expensive than it was Tom. But I use as, as a comedian. Yeah. When that time, time came out
[00:17:17] Speaker A: and
[00:17:17] Speaker B: then I could change like whether or not it was like my avatar was a car or a truck or a van or something.
[00:17:22] Speaker A: But Garmin, no, it was just, it was just the red arrow. Y. Red arrow, purple road, side roads were.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: Which is, which is, which is funny because they still sell these.
[00:17:33] Speaker A: Oh yeah. I thought about buying a garment just, just to see.
[00:17:37] Speaker B: But for what, but for what reason? You got the same thing on your palm.
[00:17:40] Speaker A: No, no, no, no. I would like. I would literally want to buy it and return it. I just want to see have they changed the style, you know, at all.
[00:17:47] Speaker B: Styles, Styles.
[00:17:48] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:17:49] Speaker B: Style's the same because if it ain't broke. If it ain't broke, don't, don't fix it.
[00:17:52] Speaker A: If you got a garment, let me know if it's still the same from back in 1999-90. Sorry, 95 to 2005.
[00:17:58] Speaker B: It's flatter, but it's still the square.
[00:18:00] Speaker A: No, I'm talking, I'm talking about what the display looks. I don't care how thin or thick it is. No, I'm talking about the display has changed where that giant red arrow and it just be navigating on the road.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: You know what I do like about the TomTom though, and, and I think this is why they're still around, is because those things work straight off a satellite. They don't go. So even if you like, if you're using your phone for navigation and you lose signal.
[00:18:22] Speaker A: Oh yeah, you toast done.
[00:18:23] Speaker B: But the Tom Tom and the Garmin, they came, they came straight from satellite. So you weren't bouncing off a tower. Yeah, so no matter where you were, I could be out in the middle of the forest with my Tom Tom. And it worked.
[00:18:32] Speaker A: That is true. I do remember the garment from the satellite. Just phones be in Garmin. Just still like make it right and 300ft make a right. And it's like, I'll be dang. Look at you.
[00:18:41] Speaker B: That was what I liked about my timetom. Like it always stayed connected no matter what.
[00:18:45] Speaker A: That's crazy. But no, I car rides.
Growing up, that's all I knew about vacation that going on.
I never went on a cruise on vacation on as a kid. I went one time. That was my 18th birthday.
[00:18:59] Speaker B: I didn't go till I was an adult. And as a comedian.
[00:19:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, a car, a cruise. I knew my parents went on them all the time. I got left home with grandma, which even going to grandma house was vacation.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: I think my mom and dad only went to one. I think they only went to one cruise their whole time, bro.
[00:19:14] Speaker A: If you think about that.
[00:19:15] Speaker B: But I just had three kids raised.
[00:19:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Going to grandma's house for me was vacation.
[00:19:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:21] Speaker A: Like just going to grandma house.
I would put going to grandma's house up against any other type of vacation as a kid growing up.
[00:19:28] Speaker B: Why you didn't go to like any amusement parks? I did.
[00:19:32] Speaker A: No going to grandma house, especially my dad's parents, my grandma Francis and my granddaddy Bill.
Big screen tv. Got to sleep in the basement. Basement. Got to stay up late. Grandma would let me eat jelly beans late. Granddad let me eat jelly beans. Having Swiss cake rolls, ice cream.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: I love that. I love visiting the house that had that, that, that broom down in the basement. I feel like you can get as loud as you want and you didn't disturb nobody upstairs.
[00:19:58] Speaker A: So it was the garage. And my granddad converted it into another room. To another room.
[00:20:03] Speaker B: There was a lot of people that did that.
[00:20:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Especially on the east coast. You did that all the time.
[00:20:06] Speaker B: West coast too.
[00:20:07] Speaker A: But going. Going to grandma. Especially those of the grandparents. Oh, I knew I was living large.
[00:20:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: I get to sleep downstairs. Felt like I was a badass because I wasn't upstairs with everybody. So if the burglar came in, I get to deal with him first. Low key, kind of scared. Had a computer in that room, so was only playing Tetris and solitary, but felt dope.
[00:20:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:26] Speaker A: Like waking up whenever I wanted to, having breakfast made. That's why I said those, Grandpa. I put them up against any vacation.
[00:20:34] Speaker B: And let me ask you though, let me ask you though, was breakfast like, homemade? Every Day. If you stay with grandma, then that was what was different in my house. Like, in my house, breakfast was just, you know, make some cereal, make something like that, whatever.
[00:20:44] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:20:45] Speaker B: But anytime I went to grandma's house or I went to auntie's house. Yeah, Breakfast, lunch, everything was dinner.
[00:20:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Breakfast for me was. It was always bacon and eggs. But I was always a sucker for my grandma's pancakes. I'd ask for them every time.
[00:21:01] Speaker B: It was three.
[00:21:01] Speaker A: Three days in a row. I want them.
[00:21:03] Speaker B: It was different, like. Like from my grandma. Polynesian. Grandma was always. We always had Portuguese sausage.
We had Portuguese sausage, Spam rice. That was like, everyone. But then if it was my. If it was my dad's mom, my grandma Peabody, then it was. It was. It was waffles. It was Belgian waffles, right? It was. It was bacon, bro.
[00:21:24] Speaker A: It was the works. Yeah.
[00:21:26] Speaker B: And then it was like, the works from both. Like, I. I was lucky enough to have both cultures in my family, too. I could be like, what?
[00:21:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:34] Speaker B: That's how I think I got fat.
I do. I do. But I was three. Folks out there won't know that I used to be 340.
[00:21:40] Speaker A: Yeah. I see you. Show me a picture. It's crazy to believe that, but you was eating that luxury. When you get to go over there, what it was.
[00:21:47] Speaker B: That's what it was. Great. That's what it was.
[00:21:49] Speaker A: Yeah. But no, I also got to. We got to talk about this, because I seen it on my trip.
[00:21:55] Speaker B: This last one in Myrtle Beach.
[00:21:56] Speaker A: Yeah, the last one in Myrtle Beach.
Going to the beach.
Just by itself.
Experience.
Do you recall going to the beach?
[00:22:09] Speaker B: Remember, you're talking to a Hawaiian, but go ahead.
[00:22:12] Speaker A: At some point, going to the beach on an actual vacation, not there to work.
[00:22:16] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:22:16] Speaker A: Because I feel like you even going to the beach. You might have been, bro.
[00:22:19] Speaker B: I was still working.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: Yeah, you still working?
[00:22:20] Speaker B: I was still working.
[00:22:21] Speaker A: The few times you had the opportunity to go.
[00:22:24] Speaker B: Go and enjoy and then relax. I got you. I got you.
[00:22:28] Speaker A: Wasn't part of going to the beach, getting in the water.
[00:22:33] Speaker B: Who doesn't get in the water, bro?
[00:22:34] Speaker A: Myrtle beach, just. Just getting tans.
[00:22:38] Speaker B: No, no, no. Who? No, there was somebody in the water.
Nobody was in the water.
[00:22:44] Speaker A: I was on that beach for 10 minutes, bro.
[00:22:46] Speaker B: So they could have done all what they was doing on the cliff, bro. Literally, they could have been. Went to the mountain.
[00:22:50] Speaker A: I think the only. The only credibility they wanted was that they just had sand, like, in their shoes.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: What?
[00:22:56] Speaker A: Not a soul.
[00:22:58] Speaker B: You didn't either.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: I wasn't dressed properly that day.
[00:23:02] Speaker B: But you didn't go.
[00:23:03] Speaker A: I didn't go.
That's what I'm saying. And I'm talking.
Yes, I'm talking. They got the towel, they got the umbrella, they got the basket where they're gonna be there chillin.
[00:23:16] Speaker B: Holy crap.
[00:23:16] Speaker A: And not one in the water.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: And you know, some of them drove hella far.
[00:23:22] Speaker A: That's bro, that's what I'm saying.
[00:23:23] Speaker B: Hella far. Some of them get to Myrtle Beach.
[00:23:25] Speaker A: Some of them were dressed as if they like were shocked. They pulled up to the beach, they in jeans, button up shoes.
[00:23:33] Speaker B: Now see, I don't get that. I don't get that. And I'm like, I don't get that.
[00:23:36] Speaker A: There ain't no way. You just.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: Because like here, like you've been in Hawaii, right?
[00:23:40] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:23:41] Speaker B: How many people did you see with jeans on the beach?
[00:23:44] Speaker A: Nada.
I seen, I seen even people in shirts just fully unbuttoned, like they ready to take the shirt off knowing they getting it. I'm water, bro. Tennis shoes, socks.
[00:23:58] Speaker B: That's like showing up on a basketball
[00:23:59] Speaker A: court with a football. Yes, bro, it was.
You can name every possible thing to distinguish like they're gonna get in. Nope, just there.
[00:24:10] Speaker B: So you're telling me that if I was there with you, we could have been placing bets on who was gonna get in the water and you would've won every time. Cause you would have voted nobody.
[00:24:17] Speaker A: Yes.
Or we both would have lost. Cause I would have also bet at some point somebody.
[00:24:22] Speaker B: So there was nobody even there with like their kids and their family, nothing. No, it was just all adults.
[00:24:28] Speaker A: Just all adults just on the beach.
[00:24:30] Speaker B: That's probably why.
[00:24:31] Speaker A: Just just on the beach.
And also not even like playing, like not playing any game, no throwing of a football. Just laid there, phone laying there, phone roll over.
[00:24:43] Speaker B: Every one of every one of them went. Living my best life. Living my best life.
[00:24:47] Speaker A: And I'm just like you. You are literally inches from the water. I just said, let's say at least with no feet in.
[00:24:53] Speaker B: No, I couldn't do it. I'm going all the way in.
[00:24:55] Speaker A: Oh, bro, I'm poly.
[00:24:58] Speaker B: I need, I need that salt water.
[00:24:59] Speaker A: That's a rule, bro. But it just, it blew my mind because growing up, I needed a leash.
[00:25:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:07] Speaker A: When I was by the beach, I was going to take that whooping where your mom be like, don't run it. Don't run away from. Oh, I'm running away.
[00:25:13] Speaker B: I got to get to. And there's probably people out there right now that's going to be like, you know how cold that water is? I'm. You going to tell. Tell y' all something. I used to get in the water in San Francisco. Now that water is cold.
[00:25:20] Speaker A: The east coast water is not that cold.
[00:25:22] Speaker B: And I. And I didn't care what you talking about. The Atlantic is not that cold.
[00:25:26] Speaker A: Not in Virginia or. Correction, I might not.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: The Atlantic is cold. The Atlantic is cold as.
[00:25:31] Speaker A: I thought it was fine.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: Pacific is.
[00:25:33] Speaker A: Compared to here in Idaho, where you're up in the mountains going into those lakes. It ain't that cold.
[00:25:38] Speaker B: No. Okay.
[00:25:39] Speaker A: Okay. That's what I'm referring to.
[00:25:41] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:25:41] Speaker A: Back then probably was cold, but now it ain't that cold. But, yeah, growing up, the moment I got to the beach, my mom basically knew, like, the moment feet hit sand, I'm looking. But where we gonna be at? Somewhere over there.
[00:25:54] Speaker B: Bye bye.
[00:25:54] Speaker A: I'm gone. Bye bye. Yep. Yep.
[00:25:58] Speaker B: I can't believe that. I don't even. That don't even make no sense. So if I pull up a picture of Myrtle beach right now, like, if I look at Google map, probably got that one.
[00:26:05] Speaker A: Not one little pebble. Black, brown, white. No, it wasn't.
[00:26:10] Speaker B: Because, like, somebody put up a sign and said, like, no swimming. The lifeguard was like, hey, we got sharks in the water, so we don't want nobody in the water. There was no warning.
[00:26:17] Speaker A: No warning.
And it was an actual hot day where the water would.
[00:26:22] Speaker B: That don't make no sense.
[00:26:22] Speaker A: Stellar to get into.
[00:26:23] Speaker B: That don't make no sense, bro. But you didn't get in either, though.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: I did not go there to get in. It was, you know how you're on the boardwalk. And as we were walking, my buddy was like, hey, let's walk on the beach side to check out the backside of the strip, bruh.
[00:26:40] Speaker B: I'm gonna tell you something.
[00:26:41] Speaker A: And as I was walking and looking, I'm like, I don't hear or see not one splash.
[00:26:45] Speaker B: As my basic Polynesian instinct kicks in, even if you mention boardwalk, I'm gonna be wearing slippers and something I can take off easily and get in the water no matter what.
[00:26:53] Speaker A: You just.
[00:26:54] Speaker B: No matter what. Just don't. Yeah, I'm not gonna be there with my socks and my shoes. I'm like, no, I'm get. I'm gonna be ready to wear you. If we walk anywhere near where there's anybody water and you say, I'm about to get. I'm right behind you.
[00:27:06] Speaker A: Right? Yeah. He said if you say bored.
So if we woke up that morning, it's like, what's the plan, Twitty? We going to the boardwalk. You got boardwalk attire, which is slides or flops, swim trunks or some sort of shorts that can get wet with a hoodie and a hoodie. Yep.
[00:27:23] Speaker B: Because I don't know how cold it's gonna be in the morning at first.
[00:27:26] Speaker A: Gotcha.
[00:27:26] Speaker B: And it might be a little cold in the morning, but later on, boop. Hoodie come off. Yep. Time to get in the water.
[00:27:31] Speaker A: Said, I got the boardwalk. A tire.
[00:27:33] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:27:34] Speaker A: That's crazy.
But no, I just. I had to share and get a recap of that's crazy. Childhood vacations. Yeah, that's bro. I'm telling you, it was. It blew my mind. I was very, very disappointed.
[00:27:46] Speaker B: You know how long I would have sat there just waiting for somebody to get in the water?
[00:27:49] Speaker A: I. I wish I could have, but it. Nothing. I didn't even see nobody get up and, like, kind of look at the water, like, even think about it. They just all laid there, just laying there. You might. You might have seen the occasional, like, turn back because you know what? It felt like they were scared of the water. Because a couple of times you see people look back as if, like, that water better not touched me. And it's like, you by the beach, probably happening.
[00:28:11] Speaker B: People have probably never seen a beach still.
[00:28:14] Speaker A: Then why are you going?
[00:28:15] Speaker B: You know? And you know what? And that's that. That goes back to, like, vacation. Like, when you're driving. I hate driving with people who complain about how long they in a car when they know it's gonna be long. It's the same thing. It's kind of like. Like they're not appreciating what's around there while we driving. It's the same as those folks ain't appreciating the beach and the water that's right in front of them.
[00:28:34] Speaker A: Driving.
That was one of you could not ask or complain about the drive.
Only thing I was allowed to do was just ask, when are we eating? Cause I am getting a little hungry. At which point mom had to tell me I could reach in the back and get the snacks.
[00:28:50] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:28:51] Speaker A: I was not allowed to just be back there smashing on snacks.
[00:28:54] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[00:28:56] Speaker A: Again, strategized out on when you could eat them.
[00:29:00] Speaker B: Snacks was staged p. Like, perfectly underneath the bed that everybody was sitting on so that it was going to be a pain in the ass to get it out. If you was trying to go in and out of this thing. It wasn't accessible.
[00:29:11] Speaker A: Our parents Back then, everything was dialed in.
[00:29:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:29:15] Speaker A: Like, to the point, like you said. I know for us, the snacks was always by the. The hatch.
[00:29:21] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:29:22] Speaker A: Because we had a Ford Explorer.
[00:29:23] Speaker B: Gotcha.
[00:29:24] Speaker A: So it was always by the hatch, which was accessible. But me in the backseat. Yeah.
If I am, I'm pulling everything out of order, and then mom going to be pissed because everything was in order based on the time we were traveling. Yep. Oh, no snacks.
And you better ask for those at a gas station. We ain't pulling over the side of the road.
[00:29:42] Speaker B: Oh, not, not. Not to make an exception. No, no, no. There ain't. No.
[00:29:46] Speaker A: There ain't.
No. You ever had that parent that tried to warn you too, when she was like. You sure you don't want anything? Nah, I'm good. You sure? Because we got about 300 miles and your dad ain't stopping for that until we get to the next gas station.
[00:30:00] Speaker B: Every one of my aunties, down to my mom, I think it was just bread in our family to let us know one time. One time only. You get a chance to answer once.
And whatever. Whatever answer you pick, you better stick with that.
No matter how hungry you get. No matter how. Nah, nah, nah. This is what you said.
[00:30:19] Speaker A: I would have learned quick in your family.
I was a little sick.
[00:30:22] Speaker B: Oh, we all did.
[00:30:24] Speaker A: My mom would give. I knew if she asked me a second time, even if I don't want it, then take it. Yep.
You hungry? Nah, I'm good. You sure? I'll take some Doritos.
[00:30:33] Speaker B: Especially if it had to do with the house. Like if we went on a vacation visiting my aunt. And my aunt was like. She was cooking for everybody. And she said, you hungry? And I said, no, I'm okay. And then she cleaned the kitchen. And then I thought, because an hour later I got hungry, I was going back in that kitchen to grab me something to eat.
[00:30:51] Speaker A: Now, bro, you stupid.
[00:30:53] Speaker B: Like you said, I'm a learn quick.
[00:30:55] Speaker A: I don't. I don't care what.
[00:30:56] Speaker B: I'mma learn quick.
[00:30:57] Speaker A: I don't care what race or what decade, what decade you was in. That is an absolute rule. You don't go back in that kitchen once it's clean.
[00:31:06] Speaker B: Nope.
[00:31:07] Speaker A: You might be able to go in there when they are in the process of cleaning. No, May. I said. I said, maybe I'm talking like 00, 01.
[00:31:15] Speaker B: Because they trying to get rid of something that you trying to make more of. That ain't happening.
[00:31:20] Speaker A: No, the only way you allow back in that kitchen is if you got called because they realize it's a waste to put that back in the fridge.
[00:31:26] Speaker B: Correct.
[00:31:27] Speaker A: But to just walk up in there and be like, I want some more meatloaf. And meatloaf been packed up 10 minutes ago. Oh, you better turn around. Are you going to become some meatloaf?
[00:31:35] Speaker B: And then even if you did manage to get the meatloaf out, and you managed to get some out of there, but you only put back that much more back in the fridge,
[00:31:44] Speaker A: bro, that's you.
[00:31:46] Speaker B: I was guilty. I was that kid.
[00:31:48] Speaker A: I might leave that in law's house and going back home vacation.
[00:31:51] Speaker B: Put that back. That much milk, dog. I ain't going to lie. But I'm not the only one that's done this.
[00:31:57] Speaker A: Everybody's done.
[00:31:57] Speaker B: Everybody done it.
[00:31:58] Speaker A: If I did that on vacation, though, I would have been in the back with all the. With all the bags. I don't even get to be in the backseat. That type of privilege I don't lost because that's. That's house rules, you know, you don't do it. Nobody.
[00:32:08] Speaker B: One of the only things I only hated about vacation sometimes was when I. My house became the vacation when my cousins came to visit.
That was the only time I didn't like it, because I always get that one cousin that was like, oh, your mom loves me. My auntie, my. Which is my mom. Oh, my auntie loves me. And then they start doing stupid shit that I would get in trouble for. Oh, yeah, but they wouldn't because they visiting. They on vacation right now. You got. And I was like, why do y' all get these special rules? Oh, and when I go to your mama's house, I don't get that special rule.
[00:32:41] Speaker A: Nope. I don't know what it was. Or. Or did your mom used to say, that's your cousin. This is your house, so rules apply to you. And I'll be like, woman, hold up.
[00:32:52] Speaker B: How about. How about when they look at you and they say, you know what, Sean? You ride your bike all the time. Let your cousin ride your bike today. And it's like, they're like, you don't never see your cousin. He never gets to ride anything. It's like.
[00:33:03] Speaker A: Or do they lie and be like, I never seen you on that bike? Be like, what? Oh, yeah, I wrote that bike yesterday. I know I wrote that.
[00:33:10] Speaker B: My dad. My dad. That bike ain't never moved. It's been this corner of my garage for, like, seven weeks, man. That thing ain't never moved. Talking about he gonna ride his bike, he'd be lying. Yeah.
[00:33:18] Speaker A: Being like, don't play me, dad don't do me like that.
[00:33:21] Speaker B: My cousin used to do that to me all the time. I'm gonna get you good bike now. How you gonna give a guy? Cuz my auntie gonna give it to me. Auntie, can I ride the good bike? Of course you can ride the good bike. What?
[00:33:29] Speaker A: Yeah, Sean, don't ride it anyway. Be like, what you.
[00:33:31] Speaker B: What do you mean?
[00:33:32] Speaker A: Didn't you just asked me to go to the grocery store last night on the bike to get the milk?
[00:33:37] Speaker B: You ever had to ride the crappy bike next to your bike? And your cousin was on the bike and y' all was going to the store, and he's doing nothing but talking but. But crapping on your bike, talking about, man, your bike is shit. I don't know why even. And you just sitting there on the other crappy bike going, dude, why you talking shit about my bike?
[00:33:52] Speaker A: You don't want to.
[00:33:53] Speaker B: Let's switch up then.
[00:33:54] Speaker A: Cousins on vacation, I think.
[00:33:56] Speaker B: Horrible.
[00:33:57] Speaker A: I think something about vacation. As a relative, you get this. Like, you get this special coat that you get to put on that's only
[00:34:05] Speaker B: for certain uncles and certain aunties.
[00:34:07] Speaker A: But still, though, because that coat be damned. All that vacation cousin, the aunt and uncle, that thing be hitting different. Like, you be looking at them like, I don't know who you are. Even my own mom, I'd be like, I don't know who she is. Talking about some. Oh. Oh, yeah. DeShawn, you can go get it. Go get a Swiss cake.
[00:34:23] Speaker B: What? It's 8:00pm oh, man, 8:00'.
[00:34:27] Speaker A: Clock. He can go get one to watch the bed.
[00:34:29] Speaker B: The rules bend to sit there.
[00:34:32] Speaker A: You just.
[00:34:32] Speaker B: And you just tell yourself a minute, okay? I live in a dictatorship. That's where I'm at.
[00:34:36] Speaker A: And then the moment they leave, it's on lock, it's back lockdown. Yep.
Flip a switch. Yep. Oh, I used to hate cousins coming up.
[00:34:44] Speaker B: And then it's like. And then it's like, I'm getting blamed after the cousins leave, right? I'm getting blamed because it's like, oh, your cousins ain't here no more. So why is it like, what are you talking about? Like, I didn't do that.
[00:34:52] Speaker A: They just left two minutes ago. You was all rainbows and kittens and everything. I love y'.
[00:34:57] Speaker B: All.
[00:34:58] Speaker A: You can come by any time. The minute they leave, everything turn off your fault. Go clean that. Why does that mess. Why is that bike just in the middle of the garage?
Last time I checked, we was all in the garage. Yeah, but you ain't say nothing you ever had.
[00:35:10] Speaker B: My dad used to point and be like, hey, you want to get your bike? Oh, that's my bike now. That's. Oh, that's. That's. I thought I'd never ride it before. Like, now, now, now it's my bike. Okay. Okay, yeah, I'll go get it. I'll go pick it up from the yard. Because my cousin would just. My cousin would just leave it in the yard.
