[00:00:42] Speaker A: you can then catch him live. You get notifications about it. That's right. THC is doing the lives. I might get invited to some of these but I, I think that's his time to shine. You know he does his thing whether it's grilling and working in the garage. So you get to see him in action.
[00:00:55] Speaker B: Videos taken down.
[00:00:57] Speaker A: Videos getting taken down because your neighbor wanted to play a song. I'm not going to say that because I want this video to get right. But we're not there yet.
Speaking of not there yet, I got a. Huh. I saw a kid with my all time classic transportation vehicle the other day. I didn't think they still made these.
[00:01:15] Speaker B: Ultimate alt. What? Ultimate transportation vehicle. Yes.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: This was like my growing up. I had this thing to get around more than I did my two feet.
Or a bicycle.
[00:01:27] Speaker B: More than that. What was it?
[00:01:28] Speaker A: A scooter recall. Not just scooter, a razor scooter.
[00:01:33] Speaker B: Well yeah. Oh yeah.
[00:01:34] Speaker A: I didn't think that bro. I'm talking the classic all silver. The brake is on the back of the wheel. It had the two points of contact to fold it down. Like that old school of a razor scooter.
[00:01:47] Speaker B: I might be. I might be old man here. I might be. But like when I was growing up we had the scooters that looked like a. Had the regular handlebars.
[00:01:58] Speaker A: It had.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: It had the regular handlebars. Like a bike.
[00:02:00] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:02:00] Speaker B: It had little blow up tires like that. Then we went to the Razors. My kids were the razor scooter ones. Like my oldest Devin, 31 years old.
[00:02:07] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:02:08] Speaker B: He is a razor scooter expert. Like he can do that, you know that jump in the Air spin around.
[00:02:13] Speaker A: Spinning full.
[00:02:13] Speaker B: Spinning full. Yeah.
[00:02:14] Speaker A: Yeah. And I felt I'm grown. I didn't need it, but I just felt the need to want to, like, take it. I was like, you don't even know what to do with that thing, man. Like, that's. That's class. Like, I was impressed that it wasn't like the newer razor with the brakes. I had a mo. Like, it was the class. You got to put your foot on the back.
[00:02:31] Speaker B: On the back.
[00:02:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:02:32] Speaker B: That little clip.
[00:02:32] Speaker A: And it makes that. Yeah. And it makes that little.
Yeah. To break. Oh, it took me back. So I wanted to know because I feel like there was five categories of transportation as a kid growing up. And in your circle, I think there's five other than your feet. You either was.
[00:02:50] Speaker B: That's not a category.
[00:02:51] Speaker A: No, I'm saying, like, that's one of them.
[00:02:52] Speaker B: Okay. That's one.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. You had your feet.
[00:02:54] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:02:54] Speaker A: You had a bicycle.
[00:02:55] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:02:56] Speaker A: You had the razor.
[00:02:57] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:02:57] Speaker A: You had the rollerblades or you had a skateboard.
When it came to, like in the neighborhood, you told mom, peace out, I'm going to such and so house.
I always pulled up on the razor scooter. That was. That was my neighborhood thing to go around.
[00:03:13] Speaker B: I had roller skates that looked like tennis shoes.
[00:03:16] Speaker A: So the hilly.
[00:03:17] Speaker B: No, bro. Like, these were roller skates.
[00:03:20] Speaker A: They just look like tennis.
[00:03:22] Speaker B: You gotta remember I grew up in the 80s.
[00:03:23] Speaker A: Right. That's why I'm asking. I'm trying to.
[00:03:25] Speaker B: Yeah. No, we didn't have no rollerblades. Rollerblades was new. Like, that was something that came out. It was an old school movie called Solar Babies or something. They came out in like 86.
[00:03:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:35] Speaker B: And they had rollerblades. But most people wrote roller skates, so we had rollerblade option. We had roller skates.
[00:03:40] Speaker A: Gotcha.
[00:03:41] Speaker B: The scooter, it was a different type of scooter. It wasn't a razor scooter.
[00:03:44] Speaker C: It was a.
[00:03:44] Speaker B: It was a scooter that had like regular size handlebars that you would find on a bike.
[00:03:49] Speaker A: I wish I had that size.
[00:03:51] Speaker B: And it had. It had brakes on the end, but it had tires that you put air in.
[00:03:56] Speaker A: See, why did you get that? Why did they down? I feel like that's a down.
[00:04:00] Speaker B: Because they. Because they were trying to make it more compact. They were trying to make it easier to carry. They're trying to make. Ours was big. Like, we had big stuff.
[00:04:07] Speaker A: Like, I would have taken a big industrial scooter. Granted, I did like my little compact one because I could Go over a buddy's house and just fold that thing up and take it in the house.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: I feel like riding a razor scooter, I was pedaling more than I was on my old school scooter.
[00:04:21] Speaker A: Oh, probably your tires were bigger, and it was just.
Oh, yeah.
[00:04:25] Speaker B: It was like two or three pushes, and you went, like, four blocks.
[00:04:28] Speaker A: No, the razor scooter you definitely had. You had to do some work with it. Especially when you hit a little hill,
[00:04:33] Speaker B: like just going up the curb. You just lost all kind of momentum.
[00:04:36] Speaker A: Oh. If you hit a rock. Rock. See, that's why the razor scooter was my ride or die. But there was so many scars and so many scrapes of the knees. I got between that and rollerblades because any rock correct you hit, you was done.
[00:04:49] Speaker B: That's e break. That's e break.
[00:04:51] Speaker A: There was no. There was no going over that rock. That's what it was like dodge or jump over it.
[00:04:56] Speaker B: That's what it was like on a skateboard. Skateboard. Same thing.
[00:04:58] Speaker A: Like, especially terrifying out of a skateboard. I had one, and I fell one time, and I said never again.
[00:05:03] Speaker B: If I rode on my knees and I would pedal with my hands, I would always get scared at sometimes because one of my fingers would accidentally go up underneath one of the wheels.
[00:05:12] Speaker A: Yep. And you.
[00:05:13] Speaker B: And you get that little bump. Or the skateboard would stop, and they would use your finger as like, a little chalk block. And you just.
[00:05:21] Speaker A: Yeah. No, but I. And I think everybody in my circle, we were kind of well rounded. We had a few bikers, we had a few skateboarders. We had a few. You always had somebody that had a little bit of something. But I. I was a razor kid. Ride or die. I had to be. Now if I was going, like, across the street and deep into a neighborhood, I had to get on the bike. That scooter was meant for, like, around the corners, cul de sacs, only type moves. I wasn't gonna travel 30 minutes on that Razor.
[00:05:48] Speaker B: My number one was my bike. My number one was my bike.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: I had.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: I had more miles on my bicycle than my dad had on his car.
[00:05:55] Speaker A: See, I would have thought you would have been esc. Skateboard person because you now longboard.
[00:05:58] Speaker B: I. I longboard. I longboard. I skateboarded, too, back then.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: But, like, the bike was.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: The bike was. Was. I was able to do a lot more distance.
[00:06:07] Speaker A: Yes, the bike.
[00:06:08] Speaker B: Than I could on the skateboard. Yeah, boy, you go.
[00:06:11] Speaker C: You limited.
[00:06:11] Speaker B: Like, you cool up to a certain point. Then you just, like, that's why? You see a lot of people, like some people, like why is he walking with a skateboard? I'll tell you why he's walking with it. He's already on mile seven.
[00:06:21] Speaker A: Like gas.
[00:06:21] Speaker B: Yeah, he's gassed out right now. But you can be on mile seven on your bike and still be like I'm.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Were you a, were you a no hands riding biker?
[00:06:30] Speaker B: Oh, everything. I was bmx. Oh, bmx. Yeah. I had, I had Diamondbacks, I had GT performers, I had Dinos, I had, excuse me, Dinah's.
[00:06:39] Speaker A: I had
[00:06:41] Speaker B: the CW handlebars. Like my, my old school. Like I, I, I rode bikes. Like I rode bikes and I rode skateboards. Like I like skateboards too, but not, I wasn't one of them dudes that was ollieing and stuff. Like I could just ride my board.
[00:06:53] Speaker A: Yeah, got you. No, I had a couple of friends that it was a little embarrassing that I felt like they got further than I did on a bike with a skateboard.
[00:07:01] Speaker B: What do you mean?
[00:07:02] Speaker A: Like they, I mean going downhill, I had them beat. But most of the times some of my friends that were on skateboards were like out pushing and pedaling me sometimes just with the momentum they had. Cause that's how confident they was on their skateboards. Like they were like, oh yeah, we're gonna go six blocks, I'll beat you there.
[00:07:19] Speaker B: And like could till you both reached the hill, right?
[00:07:21] Speaker A: Oh, then they was done.
[00:07:22] Speaker B: So then it was done.
[00:07:23] Speaker A: So yeah, then they was done. So then they wanted to try to tug on the back of me to get them to ride up. And it' like nah bro, you on your own.
[00:07:29] Speaker B: Or they try to pick it up and I'm gonna run it up the
[00:07:31] Speaker A: side, keep running, catch them mid stride. When they got the board, way ahead, they get off.
[00:07:36] Speaker B: All I gotta do is go to like a higher gear or a lower gear on my, on my shift over and I'm going up that hill easy.
[00:07:42] Speaker A: But yeah, I saw that razor and cuz nowadays everything's electric for kids. And I felt like back then having manual wheels.
[00:07:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:52] Speaker A: Also taught you a lot because for one with a bike or with a scooter, if something broke, you had to figure out how to get that thing back running to get back home on time. Cause the street light. Yes, there was, there was no. Did you ever have that parent that there was no excuse as to why you.
[00:08:11] Speaker B: There was none.
[00:08:12] Speaker A: You could have walked into the house with the chain broke off the bike. Both of my parents, and they're still like street light and it's like the chain is no longer connected.
[00:08:22] Speaker B: But you ain't never have you have you never went down the street with a bike where the chain was broke but you still just rolled because you had two wheels.
[00:08:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh yeah.
[00:08:31] Speaker B: And you just pedaling with your feet like Fred Flintstone always going down. Yeah, yeah, that's. Yeah. 100.
[00:08:37] Speaker A: But I feel like during that time that's where we learn fight or flight.
[00:08:41] Speaker B: Yeah, but that's gone. That's gone. Exactly.
[00:08:43] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. Like manual bikes and two wheel transportation. Same thing like rollerblades. Having to use some rando screw that you found the side of the road to put in your extra real.
[00:08:55] Speaker B: If somebody in the comments wants to test me and wants to put me up to this and, and test out what I'm saying, I'm not sure on the statistics. But today's kids and then that when they're getting out of there. Fewer of them now, a lot of them now like, like fewer people. Fewer kids today are getting their driver's license.
Oh, that's what's happening right now. So when you talk about transportation, it's now transportation is on your phone.
[00:09:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:18] Speaker B: You need to go somewhere, grab an Uber, grab a thing. It's so, it's so convenient now to do that. That, that, that was the difference was the convenience of it. Now the convenience of it today is that most kids, they don't have to go get a driver's like why not? They can open up their phone. Boom. They got a ride to, to the store. They got a ride to their friend's house. You know, my kids with their, their friends used to come over. I don't know how many of their friends came over getting dropped off by Uber. Either Uber or what's the other one you have?
[00:09:42] Speaker A: Lyft, Uber. And those, those are the big two. But yeah, for us, for us to travel two wheels that mom wasn't. If mom was dropping me off, it was because it was en route to
[00:09:53] Speaker B: where she was on her way to some place and she was. I can drop you off on my way there.
[00:09:58] Speaker A: Yeah, she was leaving at 1pm and I want to go to my.
Was like, well you better figure it.
[00:10:02] Speaker B: Your bike, your skateboard, your, your scooter, that was your ride or die right there.
[00:10:06] Speaker A: The.
[00:10:07] Speaker B: You didn't have a cell phone to call somebody when something broke.
[00:10:09] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. When it broke, when you broke down.
[00:10:13] Speaker B: Broke down, it was done.
[00:10:14] Speaker A: You had that look left look right. And we got to figure it Out. Yeah.
[00:10:18] Speaker B: You can't wait. Where you going to go? We didn't have Walmarts and things that were. That were open like that.
[00:10:23] Speaker A: You did.
[00:10:23] Speaker B: I didn't.
[00:10:24] Speaker A: Yeah, but even then, I just remember what I left with. Didn't matter how it came back. It had to come back. Could it leave that bicycle?
[00:10:34] Speaker B: No.
[00:10:34] Speaker A: Hey, call, tell my mom or dad. Where's your bike? Well, it had a flat. You don't know how to fix flat. You couldn't just roll it back here.
So it was like, I gotta figure all this out and still be home by a certain time. Like, it was. It was crunch time back then, dog.
[00:10:51] Speaker B: Oh, bro. We were stressed out. Like, we were stressed out at nine.
We was stressed and we was holding adult stress at 9 years old.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: We was. We was tripping out.
[00:11:02] Speaker B: I'm gonna be late. I'm gonna get. I'm already in trouble.
[00:11:05] Speaker A: Right.
[00:11:05] Speaker B: How many times have you told yourself and you already knew you was in trouble before you even got to the house? You just like, I already know it's coming.
[00:11:11] Speaker A: Oh, you just accept it. You just had to accept all of it. I used to, when I knew I was gonna get in trouble, whether it was my bike or whatever, I just confessed. I was like, I left the bike. I got home though, like, give me my whooping. We can go get it. But, like, it's done. So.
[00:11:26] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: Did you ever have friends that would borrow your stuff and wouldn't come back at a certain time and so you had to have the walk of shame and your parents asked? No. You had to make it back home. So I had a buddy needed to borrow my scooter. I let him borrow it and I said, you gotta be back so I can get home on time. Oh, didn't get back. So I had to leave. My mom knew I didn't leave without that scooter.
[00:11:51] Speaker B: No.
[00:11:52] Speaker A: So she was like, where's your scooter at? And I'm like, oh, such. And so got it.
I swear. She broke a glass while washing dishes. Cause she looked at me and said, and why does he still have it?
[00:12:03] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:12:04] Speaker A: And so then I again, stressed out at night. Cause it's like.
So you're mad still?
[00:12:09] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:12:10] Speaker A: Because I don't have it.
[00:12:11] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:12:11] Speaker A: And we're gonna just wipe the fact that I'm home on time. We're just gonna disregard that.
[00:12:16] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:12:17] Speaker A: Forget being home on time. Now it's. Why don't you hear without your scooter.
[00:12:21] Speaker B: You know what? And it wasn't until I had kids that I. That I Understood what that meant, why they got so mad. And that was one thing, was that the kid wasn't looking at what that parent did to get that scooter.
[00:12:31] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: And. And, and that's the part that always goes over our heads as kids is we don't think about that until we actually switch roles. When we switch roles, we look at it and we go, oh, wow.
Wow, this is crazy. Okay, that's what my dad met. That's what he meant. But it's. My dad was like, my. I was that.
That when you asked to borrow my bike or my scooter, that's when I started breaking down my calendar to you.
That was me. That was. I was that kid where you was like, hey, Sean, let me buy you. I don't know, man. You know, I got to be here on this time, and then tomorrow I got to be over, like, I'll be telling you stuff that you overstress the frame.
[00:13:04] Speaker A: They don't even want to borrow it no more.
[00:13:06] Speaker B: Exactly. Exactly. Because I know what I got to explain if I don't have it when I come home. So I'm. I tell people I got to the point where what. Some people just say, sean, let me borrow you. And I, you know what? No.
[00:13:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Sometimes it's easier to say no.
[00:13:20] Speaker B: I'm not gonna go through why I got. I have to say no, but I'm gonna just say no.
[00:13:23] Speaker A: My reasoning would say, I always used to say, do you want to go deal with my mom? That was my answer. And most of the times, my buddy be like, nah, you're right. I'll just walk. It's like, yeah, you don't want to deal with Debbie. Debbie, she don't care who you are. Biological, non biological, new on the block. That ass is gonna be hers. And that's.
[00:13:43] Speaker B: That's the thing, though. That's the thing, though. Is that like how you were saying, like, you know, we were. We were stressed out, curfews that we had to meet. We had things we had to meet. Everybody else ain't looking about what our schedules have to go to to give me. Even your best friend ain't looking after you. So it's like, if I got to be somewhere, I got to go somewhere. I'm sticking with what I have right now. And. And it's staying next to me because I know I can count on that, man.
[00:14:03] Speaker A: That's probably. You know what? At that age, we got really good at time management because I did get good at timing stuff out. Like, if I. If he does Borrow it. And if I. He don't get back in time, I can still go find him and go get it. Still make it back.
[00:14:18] Speaker B: In your scenario, you still have. If he borrows it. See, that's not even in my scenario. There was.
[00:14:23] Speaker A: There were certain friends that I trusted that I knew they was going to bring it back because they didn't want to read the percussions.
[00:14:30] Speaker B: My cousin, that. That like 50 some years it's been my cousin, he's still. No riding the bike in front of me.
In front of me. I got to see where my bike is going. It's not new.
[00:14:41] Speaker A: Hey, I had a friend like that.
He had a two house. Two house.
[00:14:47] Speaker B: Two house window. Yep, yep. That. No, that's a real. That's. Some people drive by the two house driveway.
[00:14:53] Speaker A: Standing there, I look left, I should be able to still see you. And when you bust that U turn.
[00:14:58] Speaker B: Oh, when you about to get to that third mailbox, we got issues. Yes, yes, yes.
You can't get to more than two mailboxes away from me.
[00:15:07] Speaker A: That's when the homie runs towards you, and you. The bike is cut off. And it's like, you sit down and back, bro. You broke protocol on this side.
[00:15:13] Speaker B: That's what people.
That's when people look outside their house because they see somebody in the car on their bike yelling at the person, hey, hey, wait up, Wait up. That's where the word wait up came. Yeah, wait up came from. You made it three mailboxes, dog.
[00:15:27] Speaker A: The three mailbox room was intense.
[00:15:29] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:15:30] Speaker A: Like you. I remember friends running after somebody like, you gotta get off. And it's like, bro, I still got my other hat, bro. You went past the third mailbox.
[00:15:37] Speaker B: One. One mailbox means we need to hurry up.
Two mailboxes means that I'm lagging.
[00:15:43] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:15:43] Speaker B: Three mailboxes means that you don't think I'm part of your group right now. That's what that means. Yeah, you. You just.
[00:15:49] Speaker C: You.
[00:15:49] Speaker A: You are. That's a disrespectful line.
[00:15:51] Speaker B: Yeah, you. You have not. You ain't trying to keep up.
Three mailboxes. Y' all know you don't want me to be a part of this now. Okay?
[00:15:58] Speaker A: That's the disrespectful line.
[00:16:00] Speaker B: What'd you hit? Three mailbox.
[00:16:02] Speaker A: I forgot about the two house, three mailbox rules, dog. There was the three. That three mailbox rule was deep.
[00:16:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:09] Speaker A: By default. You ever had that friend that tried to negotiate it? So we talking that this mailbox or that mailbox?
Yeah, it's like, come on, bro.
[00:16:17] Speaker B: The flag was always up because we always knew that they always had something to mail out.
[00:16:20] Speaker A: Duh. The three mailbox rule. That is crazy. I almost forgot about that.
[00:16:26] Speaker B: Especially if you borrowing somebody's stuff, man.
[00:16:28] Speaker A: Like, yeah, borrowing was intense. Back.
[00:16:30] Speaker B: Stay with me. Stay with me.
[00:16:31] Speaker A: Yeah, you gotta be in my eyesight.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: You have to.
[00:16:33] Speaker A: Did you ever swap where it was for. What would you call that, like, insurance purposes?
[00:16:39] Speaker B: You know? I did, but what was. What was messed up was like. Like, my Big Wheel. If I had a big Wheel, it
[00:16:45] Speaker A: was like, oh, I. Cause like, you know, I never let nobody touch my Big Wheel.
[00:16:48] Speaker B: But you know how I take care of my truck?
[00:16:51] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:16:52] Speaker B: I've done that with every single thing I've had, from my bikes to my skateboards to anything I had. My stuff was.
[00:16:58] Speaker A: Oh, same.
[00:16:59] Speaker B: My stuff stayed clean. So when you asked me if I asked for insurance, when somebody would give me.
I know this is going to sound bad as hell. When somebody could have been like, sean, if you let me borrow your bike, I'll let you borrow my bike. And then they bring their bike and that bike just. I'm like, your bike is garbage. Like, look at this. You got oil all up over here on the chain guard. You got this on here. You want. You're going to leave this reinsurance and take this with you?
[00:17:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
They ain't going to want that bike back.
[00:17:28] Speaker B: Nope.
[00:17:29] Speaker A: If you. If you was like, yo, Tweety, so, you know that rusty bike you gave me, it kind of broke.
[00:17:34] Speaker B: Like, oh, that's fine.
[00:17:34] Speaker A: I'll just keep yours. It's like, bro, that's a terrible trade.
[00:17:36] Speaker B: That's one of the reasons why I like Pawn Stars. That's one of my favorite shows is. Cause, like, they be negotiating, like, nah, man, if you bring me something, I better be able to make something on this.
[00:17:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:45] Speaker B: If I don't get my bike back, I'm not mad.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: Yeah. How you keep your truck. I could see how growing up, you kept everything polished and cleaned it.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: Just my OCD as a kid and my ad, my adhd, everything.
[00:17:57] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Trading sometimes was like, you know what?
[00:18:01] Speaker C: Just.
[00:18:01] Speaker A: Let's just three. That's probably what a three mailbox room came in is that somebody realized trading for insurance was not worth it.
[00:18:08] Speaker B: Correct.
[00:18:08] Speaker A: So it was like, I'm gonna just keep you in a box.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: In a box? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:18:11] Speaker A: Like, I don't care what you do in the box.
[00:18:13] Speaker B: Nope.
[00:18:13] Speaker A: But just don't go outside that box with my piece of property.
[00:18:16] Speaker B: Correct.
[00:18:17] Speaker A: The three mailbox rule. That was crazy. So you had rollerblades? You had. Did you.
[00:18:23] Speaker B: You said, no, I didn't have roller blades. We had roller skates.
[00:18:25] Speaker A: Yeah, roller skates. There is a difference.
[00:18:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:27] Speaker A: You don't know what it is. Look it up. There is a difference.
[00:18:29] Speaker B: Oh, man. Yeah. If you can't look up the. The tennis shoe looking ones.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: Oh, I rode. I had one pair of those, and I said immediately, I said, I can't. So I saved up all my money to get actual.
[00:18:41] Speaker B: Oh, man. We used to go to the roller skate ring, bro. Man, that was the thing back in the 80s, man. The thing. In 1985, I was 10 years old.
[00:18:49] Speaker A: I don't know if I can still roll it. I used to be good at rollerblades.
[00:18:51] Speaker B: I was good at roller skating. I was good.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: I could go backwards, I hit the
[00:18:55] Speaker B: corner and go forward. I can go. And I can't ice skate. I've tried.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: You know, they used to say that ice skating and rollerblading should kind of fall in line together.
[00:19:06] Speaker B: Man, I don't believe they stick to the grounds different.
[00:19:10] Speaker A: They do.
[00:19:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:19:12] Speaker B: Rollerblades, they can grab that asphalt a lot better than that. I don't know. There's probably somebody that ice skates that's
[00:19:18] Speaker A: going to argue, tell us or you know what, Give us a lesson. I'd be down to learn.
I'd be down to learn. Let me know. Get in the dm. I want to learn.
Say what?
[00:19:26] Speaker C: Should we make that a vlog?
[00:19:28] Speaker A: We should.
[00:19:28] Speaker B: We should.
[00:19:29] Speaker A: Is there a place?
It's gonna be embarrassing. I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be that guy that's just all up along the sides. You ain't gonna catch me. I'm gonna have one hand.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: I already got the right side of bruised rib, so maybe I should get the left, too.
[00:19:41] Speaker A: Well, how about we wait till. How about we wait till the left side to the right side?
[00:19:46] Speaker B: I'm a fall.
I already know it.
I got.
[00:19:49] Speaker A: I got one Bruce side because of a speaker and one Bruce side because ice skating for a vlog.
But we should do that. We should vlog about ice skating.
[00:19:57] Speaker B: Hey, Sean, can you roller skate?
[00:19:59] Speaker C: Yeah, I can do both. I played hockey.
[00:20:01] Speaker A: Oh, that's.
[00:20:02] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:20:02] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:20:04] Speaker A: As a hockey player, did you learn to ice skate first and then it was easier to rollerblade. Were you a rollerblader that turned into an ice skater?
[00:20:12] Speaker B: You know what?
[00:20:13] Speaker A: Go ahead, Sean.
[00:20:14] Speaker B: Answer that real quick. I see.
[00:20:16] Speaker C: I did lessons when I was like three.
Ice skating, so I feel like I've
[00:20:20] Speaker B: always been, you Was that friend? Huh? That one at the. At the, at the roller skating rink, it just like did circles.
[00:20:27] Speaker A: Showed out around.
[00:20:28] Speaker C: Showed out on like field trips.
[00:20:30] Speaker B: Yeah, you're just looking at everybody else with your hands in your pocket, like
[00:20:33] Speaker A: doing, last one to get his blades, last one to put them on. Slowly waited till everybody was about done, so he had the whole area to do his thing.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: Then he just started figurating around everybody just boop, boop, boop. Then asking people, what's the matter, you guys? You guys don't know how to skate or what? Like, yeah, okay, yeah, that's. That's shine. Were you.
[00:20:49] Speaker A: Were you this person, Shawn? Cause I always noticed this guy. At the roller rink, when you got on, were you. Your first couple of moves were like intense and hard, and you did that quick skirt and then just like tested out like one little area before you fully took off.
[00:21:06] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:21:07] Speaker A: Yes.
Every good skater did that. You get on the ice or you got on the roller rink and you just stayed in one little area. And people are like, look at him. He can't do nothing. And then when they took off, they were just gone, like immediately backwards, rolling through everybody, waving in the middle, zigzagging, hopping off the ring, hopping back on the ring. You was that guy. You was that guy.
[00:21:31] Speaker B: That's the guy I throw popcorn at. Yeah, I hit that dude with popcorn. Every time he goes by me, I'm just looking at him like, you know what? We know you good, okay? We all know you good.
[00:21:40] Speaker A: And Sean used to have long hair. He was on your sunshine, weren't you? Flicking that hair in the wind?
[00:21:44] Speaker C: Oh, I felt.
[00:21:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:21:45] Speaker A: Oh, he was dangerous. Yep. I wouldn't have liked Sean growing up, cuz I. I couldn't do nothing. I hit you with popcorn. I would have hit you with the popcorn.
[00:21:52] Speaker B: What's crazy is. What's crazy is you grew up in my neighborhood, so you grew up in the bay. So like, I. I probably would have crossed paths with you.
[00:21:57] Speaker C: Probably.
[00:21:58] Speaker B: Has anybody ever hit you with popcorn as a kid? Cuz it was probably me. No, damn it.
[00:22:03] Speaker A: The fact that he. He said that, kid. You know what I think lessons, like, and.
[00:22:06] Speaker B: Yeah, when on the ice, you get on the ice, you trying to hold on to the wall, you look up, there's this kid with his hands behind his back, just.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: Oh, the hands behind the back. What a flex.
[00:22:15] Speaker B: Hey, Sean, what's up? What do you mean?
[00:22:18] Speaker C: Yeah, we do. I did lessons, like at the.
[00:22:21] Speaker B: He said since he was three. Yeah.
[00:22:24] Speaker A: And you know what, though? Sean is naturally nice People probably thought he was petty, nice because he was so good. He was probably that person like, you want some help? But it's like, no, don't touch me. And it's like, he probably genuinely was trying to be nice, but it also ain't his fault that he can do that with no hands.
[00:22:39] Speaker B: Sean, have these words ever came out of your mouth? Hey, Mom, I'm about to go rollerblade to my friend's house.
[00:22:46] Speaker C: See, I wasn't big on roller, like.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: But you never did that.
[00:22:50] Speaker C: I'm sure I did at one point. Like, I've thought about that more recently. I've thought about recently getting a pair of roller blades and like, oh, here
[00:22:58] Speaker B: comes that midlife crisis. Yeah, just.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: You know what it is, though. He gonna do it. He gonna be out in the street with no hands, hands behind his back, just cruising, hitting the curve.
[00:23:07] Speaker B: That's all right, though. Hey, I still go down the street on my longboard, and I'm 50.
[00:23:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:23:11] Speaker A: I bike to work. I like biking. And I have a. For me, I have a regular bike. My bike does not have the assist on it. I still got. I got the one by 12 shifter, baby.
[00:23:21] Speaker B: I think that's why I'm so stubborn, is, like, I feel like if I stop moving, I'm just going just.
[00:23:25] Speaker A: Well, we grew up on, like, movement was. We had no choice.
[00:23:28] Speaker B: There's so many people that just. Man shine. You need to kick back. You need to relax. I'm like, I can't do that. Like, I can't do that. I. I don't. I think my retirement. When I actually retire, I'm still gonna be working.
[00:23:37] Speaker A: Oh, bro. Yeah, you are.
[00:23:39] Speaker B: Yeah. I. I can't just sit at the house and do nothing.
[00:23:42] Speaker A: But that's how we grew up. There was two options. You either could be outside, or you could be inside doing chores. You wasn't gonna be sitting. You sat to eat, use the bathroom, and go to bed.
[00:23:52] Speaker B: But that was only until I heard. What was it?
Young and the Restless. When that song came on the television piano, that's how I knew I couldn't. I couldn't be nowhere inside the house, nowhere in the house. This was my mom's time, my grandma's time. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: Outside now.
[00:24:10] Speaker B: Yeah. They don't want to hear me, see me, look at me. Nothing. I better be outside.
[00:24:14] Speaker A: Prices or Price is Right was another one.
[00:24:16] Speaker B: Price is Right. Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy.
What was that one where you had to stop? No whammies, no whammies, no whammies. And boom.
Press your Luck. That's what it was called.
[00:24:27] Speaker A: But yeah, it was Young and the Restless. And then as the world turns.
[00:24:29] Speaker B: As the world turns.
All the General Hospital children.
[00:24:34] Speaker A: You better be quiet. Because you couldn't pause it back then.
[00:24:37] Speaker B: No, no. And let her interrupt them and miss a key phrase or a key sentence and the thing. Because it was somebody's baby. Yeah. They didn't hear that because they wasn't
[00:24:47] Speaker A: going to turn the volume up to overpower you. You had to respect them being at volume 12.
[00:24:52] Speaker B: Yes, yes.
[00:24:53] Speaker A: Oh, I remember those days.
Get in the comments, please.
Growing up, what was your form of transportation? Did you have all five? I said everybody had two feet.
[00:25:02] Speaker B: Two feet.
[00:25:03] Speaker A: Were you a biker? If you did have the razor, what color? Because there was only two colors. You either had the blue one or the red one. Yeah, that's also how I knew it was a razor because it was the base. Everything was silver and it was either red or blue.
[00:25:15] Speaker B: We're gonna start hearing some, some stuff that we didn't even talk about. We're gonna start hearing like what are them little hover.
[00:25:20] Speaker A: Oh, gosh.
[00:25:21] Speaker B: The hoverboard or wheels that they stand on top of.
[00:25:24] Speaker A: Yeah. Was it a hoverboard? Yeah. Because you had to swivel the back foot.
[00:25:27] Speaker B: Yeah. We're going to hear, we're going to see comments like that. We're going to hear people talking about, well, I had a segue. I took segues. I took segues to school. Like, watch, it's coming.

I might go buy one. I got. I might have to go buy me one Just, just for old times. I just want to see how durable they are nowadays because back then them scooters also lasted.
They. My scooter got ran over so many times I left it on the. I hit the curb so many times.
[00:26:06] Speaker B: Things was made out of steel.
[00:26:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I loved her. She.
My red handles sometimes were worn out, so I would just put duct tape over them.
[00:26:16] Speaker B: Oh, sometimes I could take my kids razor scooter and I could put it behind my back tire when I lifted up the front so I could change the brakes to use it as a chalk block.
Yeah, a little chalk block. It just worked because it was already folded in half.
[00:26:28] Speaker A: See? Durable, reliable and versatile.
