Freaking crazy.

Jesse AleXander

You know what I've seen too. I've noticed as I've been getting older and doing all this, because the reason why we're shooting on the couch is we are getting rid of some of the older furniture and stuff and cleaning out a lot of the room, because it's got to be done and we finally have upgraded, so this will be well. You'll still be seeing us on here, but no longer on that other camera that has Kevin glitching out every once in a while. That's why we haven't been posting a lot of videos.

Jesse AleXander

We've been trying to make sure that we have it perfected. That's why we haven't been posting a lot of videos. We've been trying to make sure that we have it perfected up. So we're going to see yes, Is us taking the best parts of every episode, the best parts, and we are going to, you know, give you a little like a montage. I guess you would say Like a Rocky.

Yeah, how to catch up.

Jesse AleXander

But uh, getting back to the, uh, the, the rocky montage, we'll be, we'll be throwing you in there, right, you know, and we'll be showing you the exploits along the way, all the little mishaps, because we have a lot of them recorded, right, um, and we're just gonna make it fun we have um, we have a little bit of help, I think, coming hopefully within the next couple of weeks okay and uh, yeah, man, we're gonna, we're gonna start pumping these things out, so you should start seeing not only.

Jesse AleXander

you know. Audio will still be there Right, even though, of course you know the ghost was in the room as soon as we hit record but that's how it is.

KDG

It's always going to happen, always.

Jesse AleXander

So as long as you keep the stress level down, so no negativity around. Ooh, you like how I? You know what I mean Stress level down, no negativity around.

KDG

I like that. Okay, I'm rhyming shit.

Jesse AleXander

Jesse AleXander

yeah, I love them, but yeah, so we're gonna do that and um, and we're also going to give you some backstory, because there's a lot of stuff that you need to know about this man right next to me A lot. Because this man is one of the best I know you know?

KDG

Oh, I appreciate that.

Jesse AleXander

Always it's not a bad time when I'm with you, bad time when I'm with you like I know that when I come to see kev, mr kdj, that I'm going to be smiling at least 70, 80 percent of my day. Then the other 20 is because of some of my bullshit. You know, some of my, my own stuff, but because know I have ghosts that follow me and like to fuck around.

KDG

Shit falls over. Sometimes I see you floating, I just don't tell you. Bro I knew you saw something, because I turn around and see your face.

Jesse AleXander

sometimes Ken saw something. Ken's either fucked up right now or he just ain't not telling me something.

KDG

No, I'm just fine. Yeah, like kevin, you're right I'm out yeah, I'm good, good okey, dokey just waiting to shoot.

Jesse AleXander

So also, I heard you went to the yankee game. I did, and was that your first uh outing? I have like a sporting event, no I've been to a couple.

KDG

I've been there in 1941. I've been to 1941. Yeah, I've been there in 1941.

Jesse AleXander

I've been there 1941. Yeah, well, we know, was there. Well, 1941. 1941. I'm afraid Wait, don't see, I'm going to get killed for this.

KDG

I can't even say that it's okay, was there segregation around in 1941?

Jesse AleXander

No, right, no 1941, we were good it was the 1880.

KDG

Oh, back then, yeah, 1921? When was the Negro League? Back then in that year, there was definitely the same stuff happening.

Jesse AleXander

But it wasn't as bad as like when was like the Negro League and all that stuff. Like when did Jackie Brown See?

KDG

Well, Jackie, I saw that movie too. I'm going to call you out. That was good. Okay, call me out on it.

Jesse AleXander

I'm going to call, call me out on it. So we're sitting in the car dropping him home and I'm I'm so, of course. You know, kev, that's the great thing about this man. I'm not gonna, I won't, I won't sugarcoat things. People call me even I'm not gonna say I don't like, don't like them. It doesn't mean I don't like. If I don't answer, it just means that, like, not in the mental capacity, I don't have the capacity to deal with this phone call right now. And I'm in the middle, and especially if I'm with someone else, I don't find it rude to take out my phone and to start a conversation with someone else, especially if you don't know the person I'm with doesn't know the other person.

KDG

But I know most of the people that you talk to, so if it's like Shannon, shout out to Shannon especially if you don't know the person I'm with doesn't know the other person, right so?

Jesse AleXander

but I know most of the people that you talk to yeah so, like you know, if it's like shannon shout out hello shannon hey, so if it's like shannon or sir or something I know you'll answer, you'll put it on speaker exactly.

Jesse AleXander

We'll talk to him together exactly so kev being kev answers every call like that. He gets that from someone that he knows. If he gets a phone call he's gonna answer it because, just god forbid, it's an emergency. So he answers it. Sir, say everything, okay, yeah, blah, blah. Oh, just found out new movie jackie robinson movies on xyz platforming service really want you to see it and I was like, oh yeah, jackie robinson. I was like that was uh.

Jesse AleXander

I was like it's an all right it was an all right movie for me, I was like, but for you, like in your culture, I think that would be great to see. Like for you to see, and like if you never saw, and he's like jackie robinson, that was the football player right, I, I can't kev. I love you, that's why I love you that's why I love you dude, just the whitest black man in the world listening to the beatles spring singing frank sinatra and doesn't know who jackie robinson is, but he wants to know you got like nine touchdowns, I think yeah, no more than that.

Jesse AleXander

Oh think like, yeah, 11, 11, yeah, he did good, damn he did good. Yeah, no, but he wants to know he had like 9 touchdowns. I think no more than that. 11. Yeah, he did good. He actually held the. I think the, the home run, the, the amount of home runs in a year. Yeah, he was held the record for a minute, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not, uh, into sports as much as I used to be back in high school, but I believe that his name was the one that mark mcguire and barry.

Jesse AleXander

I don't know if you know anything about baseball I know names you know the names well barry bonds and mark wire have asterisks, like the little things next to their name, that little that's basically saying like, yeah, they hit the home runs, but they did it under the influence of Ken Pulse, oh yeah like Alex Rodriguez he was, didn't he? Yeah, he was one of them.

KDG

He was one of them. He took steroids.

Jesse AleXander

Well, I know they took steroids, but Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds actually broke a record, so they put the little star next to it to let people know like we're not sure if we should let him be in the books Hall of Fame. I think, regardless, that motherfucker smashed those home runs.

KDG

He definitely did.

Jesse AleXander

yeah, One of the hardest things to do is to make contact with a fastball, a curveball.

KDG

Well, home run, derby. They lob it to you and they still smash them.

Jesse AleXander

But I'm saying it's still hard to hit the home runs though.

KDG

It really is. It takes a lot.

Jesse AleXander

In college they're using metal bats. Yeah, Come on, dude.

KDG

Crazy, yeah, that's true, ridiculous, it's such a jump, too, from college to the majors.

Jesse AleXander

I have no right even speaking on sports, but all I know is from what I used to watch the jump from college to majors, and it's so fucked up now too, because college players can now get paid for the like. They used to never have names on like the back of their jerseys because they were just representing the college that they went to, because they couldn't make any money since they were like, since they were a student yeah, exactly but the school was making a shit ton of money off ticket sales, right right.

Jesse AleXander

So once we started coming to our senses and realizing like damn we. How come I'm not getting any of the money sold for all the jerseys that have my number on it? Basically buying it. And I think that might even like. I don't know if they put their name on them. I'm not sure.

Jesse AleXander

I don't think they did back then, but yeah, just the number, but they were selling the likeness kind of thing. So now it turned into this big thing where now, depending on how high up your ranking is, or something they so, depending on how high up your ranking is, or something you get paid.

Jesse AleXander

X amount of dollars. So if you're like, want to consider one of the top one, two draft picks, you're making a decent amount of money. So imagine all the people coming up to the NFL 10 years, even five years ago, six years ago they were like damn, I could have been making a bunch of money. No, sean Marino, bro. He went to our school school. He was a beast in college I mean, he won a super bowl, but he was sitting on the bench he was on the bench most of the time, yeah, but imagine if he was making money during college too.

Jesse AleXander

Yeah, he would have been set. No good, probably. I don't know where he is. I hope he's doing all right I hope he's okay too too. But no, Sean was a beast. But that jump from college to You're not dealing with kids within four years of your age. You're dealing with men that are 10, 15 years. Your senior and some of them are on some juice, exactly.

KDG

The juice, the juice.

Jesse AleXander

The juice.

KDG

Some are on the juice, the juice, the juice, the juice. Some are on the juice, the juice. Come on guys, come on guys.

Jesse AleXander

You know what the juice is. What kind of juice Like purple blue, yellow. Blue, what kind of juice guy. I don't know what color Blue, blue, my favorite color blue. You don't want that purple stuff.

KDG

No, blue, my favorite color, blue, you don't want that purple stuff.

Jesse AleXander

No, I don't like purple that much Not the purple stuff. No, yeah, If it was in the fridge, though if there was no blue. I'm probably going purple.

KDG

I'd probably go red.

Jesse AleXander

Yeah, yeah. But what happens if there was no red, if there was only purple and orange? Where?

KDG

are you going?

Jesse AleXander

I'd definitely go purple. Okay, yeah, I don purple, and orange.

KDG

Where are you going? Definitely go purple, okay, yeah, I don't know, with orange I lost orange. Yeah, I don't like orange flavor, icies, icies or anything like yeah, honestly, or anything I'm staying away from orange.

Jesse AleXander

Staying away from. It's crazy. I love lemon in my water. Don't give me anything lemon like. I don't want any dessert.

KDG

I hate that. Don't give me no lemon dessert, dude. What are we doing? What are we doing? What is that? It's not a dessert, we're in 19, something 1941 over here. Yeah, exactly, I'm living in 1991. I'm living in 1999, dude Like what are we doing? Fazy, fazy, I'm sorry.

Jesse AleXander

I gotta come over here, dude. This is how it is.

Jesse AleXander

It's real life in this podcast, dude. It really is Grabbing some shit, dude, that's what we're doing on the couch, so yeah, so we're grabbing some shit, so we're going to have some. We'll have our guest be chilling over here and you know me and Kev will be sitting at the desk as a huge Yep.

I'm trying to, I'm trying to loosen up on the curse guys. All right, trying to loose up, I'm gonna be an uncle you know.

Anecdotes and Banter

KDG

So I gotta calm down a little bit and especially with my favorite, I've noticed I haven't before in prison.

Jesse AleXander

I was a lot. It was a lot easier for me to censor myself around the people that I needed to censor myself around, like children.

KDG

Yeah you know what I mean. I always said stupid shit to like, censor myself like oh, chicken nuggetly well, they would love that, though.

Jesse AleXander

But see, that's what you're great at, dude you are great at like making it turn. You will never make an awkward situation more awkward, right? You know those people that could like turn an awkward situation and just make it they get worse. Yeah, yeah just like oh man, I don't even want to be here. Like exactly, it's not even me, but it's just I'd still just don't even feel right like I'm embarrassed for them yeah, yeah, right, I've been there.

Jesse AleXander

Yep, when you're watching a comedian just like be hot like a horrible there, yep, when you're watching a comedian, just like be like a horrible comedian Bad, yeah, oh, like you're watching.

She's like dang, I can't. Oh boy, it's going badly, badly what the heck is she doing?

Jesse AleXander

We got we're going to try some shit. We got different ideas and we got some things we're going to try out. Yes, ideas, and we got uh some things we're gonna try out. Yes, we are a lot of ideas that I think are really funny and I really want to do them. It's just a matter of uh getting them done. With all the stuff that we have. I haven't been able to uh make that announcement yet with my brother, that's why you haven't seen him.

Okay, I have not walked into a party where that kid has been not told. I have not Let me say that correctly. Like a Momo, I have not let me say that correctly. Like a Momo, I have not walked into a party where a woman has not walked up to him and said you are gorgeous, or oh my God. Yeah, I love your eyes.

Jesse AleXander

He found somebody and she's absolutely like just a perfect for him and just amazing girl in general, just, and the family's amazing, and just made him into a better person, which is all you can ask from like all you can ask from a partner is pushing you to be better, and that's what she does, and you know she's not one of those like don't go hang out with your friends. Like she pushes him to like go come see me and like hang out. Yeah, you know like what she's like like pushes him to go hang out with friends and like I feel like it's cool, she doesn't mind him, like if he comes, if he goes out, and you know sees his boys or anything like that, and she comes out too like she's just the nicest person she.

Jesse AleXander

I'm so happy for him and damn he's lucky, you know, yeah, and she doesn't she doesn't know like she's. She's like you, kev. She doesn't know anything about american movies. She's like yeah, she's venezuelan, but like are you venezuelan or something, because you don't, I don't know where I am actually.

KDG

People like I are like I like your accent. I'm like yeah, where are you from, Do you?

Jesse AleXander

know exactly from where you're from. I don't.

KDG

I haven't looked up anything.

Jesse AleXander

But you did like dude, you did some background on your, like your real parents.

KDG

Well, I mean the background, like what happened to me and stuff, but I don't know my background, like nationality.

Jesse AleXander

Like where they're actually from. Yeah, like your ethnicity.

KDG

Because now I know my brother's from an island. He's an island boy. Look at his hair.

Jesse AleXander

No, wait, wait, wait. Don't tell me he's one of the island boys, or he's an island boy.

KDG

No, he's definitely an island boy. Oh, okay, I thought you were telling me he's one of the two, because my dad adopted everybody from different states. Okay, because he was in the Navy. My sister.

Jesse AleXander

I got a sister from Peru. That's so beautiful, it's so cool, it's crazy.

KDG

And I was the only one from New Jersey. Wow, mm-hmm.

Jesse AleXander

I was the last one too.

KDG

I'm the youngest, and they stayed in New Jersey after they adopted me.

Jesse AleXander

Wow.

KDG

Yeah, so team would have never happened, this shit would never happen, never would have seen us. They could have stopped anyway. They could have stopped it. Blame them, blame them. Why do you take me for Not us, don't blame them.

Jesse AleXander

I don't get it.

KDG

I don't get it. You know, I'm two years older, I'm getting put in handcuffs. I get sent to a family.

Jesse AleXander

That's so weird, see, we're able to laugh at these things now. That's how strong of a person you are, and I have. It's so rare to meet motherfuckers that are that strong. I'm sorry.

Jesse AleXander

There's a strength in you, that's beyond, you know and you just seeing that like it's made me like, damn, what the fuck am I sitting here in my little pity party for myself? You know, when you have xyz going on for you, yeah, you know I should be able to pick myself up, dust myself off, like I've done it 30 times. You know, like I said, it's a new beginning for you. You know your phone got fucked. It had run over. Yeah, it was crazy.

KDG

I'm not letting you.

Jesse AleXander

We need to be in touch. Yeah, where's?

KDG

my phone.

Jesse AleXander

Well, yeah, it's being unlocked as of right now.

KDG

I mean the broken one. Oh, the broken one. Yeah, show them here. Show them here. Show everybody knows they don't have a phone.

Jesse AleXander

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, I hear from Kevin. Don't yell at him, right, he really is. It's smashed, it's smashed, it's done, it's done up, it's done up. Guys, if you're listening, the screen is like literally looks like a cinder block. It's pretty bad you can't even see the Apple sign on the back. It's like really bad, the back is crushed. I'm surprised his SIM card made it out alive.

Jesse AleXander

Yeah, thank God, the SIM card made it out alive, so we were able to transfer it. The thing is, we are trying to unlock an AT&T device because he is, of course, has another service, right, of course, of course. Because he is, of course, has another service, right, of course, t-mobile. Yeah, of course T-Mobile. But the thing is it's crazy how T-Mobile winded up being the best service apparently.

KDG

Yeah, it definitely is.

Jesse AleXander

yeah, Because they bought Sprint and combined with Sprint. Sprint during that time was in cahoots with buying like 25 towers of. Verizon, so they used like the same Verizon towers Right, so they're basically Verizon cheaper and T-Mobile used to be the worst.

KDG

Yeah, remember that. Yeah, it was very bad, like they had no service and Verizon used to be the best, but most expensive.

Jesse AleXander

Yeah and yeah, so you're. Actually it's a good call, right? I mean, unless you want to go with Ryan Reynolds and maybe do some mint. I don't know, have you ever seen those commercials? The mint commercials?

KDG

No, Never heard of them. Ryan Reynolds.

Jesse AleXander

Not Ryan. Is it Ryan Reynolds?

KDG

Yeah.

Jesse AleXander

He's the spokesman. He's like only 10, or is it 19 dollars a month For every member in the family. It's like the lowest cell phone, like charger yeah, I don't even have TV every member in the family. It's like the lowest cell phone pro. Like charger, yeah.

KDG

I don't even have TV at my house. We don't do cable 1941. We don't do cable here either.

Jesse AleXander

Fuck that, you don't need pro Cable is done. Yeah, no more. No more Guarantee Five years, 10 years yeah done.

KDG

Yeah, I can see that, yeah, be watching tv on your smartwatch on.

Jesse AleXander

Yo just saying youtube yeah it's gonna be the internet. The only thing that's keeping cable alive right now is sports, which is slowly well, that's what amazon yeah slowly turn. Amazon just streamed this. Uh, yeah, they're starting, didn't they stream the super bowl, or? Something, something like that yeah, they've been streaming some games. I know baseball streaming now too, yeah, um, so you only got that. Even wrestling things isn't wrestling going to netflix, yeah, next year's no longer, I think.

Jesse AleXander

Cable used to own like 60% or 80% of the market share of like ads and stuff like that, and then Google came in and took over like half the chart or more than half, and now it's like cable has like 10, 15. Cable has like 10, 15, I think like 10, 15, 20 of the like of the revenue that it used to. It's crazy, yeah, it's not holding up.

KDG

It doesn't have the legs, it's done.

Jesse AleXander

It doesn't have the legs. There's nothing, there's every. Why do it if you have it on demand? That's, that's the whole. Thing yeah, we got on demand. Why do I need that? Yeah, that's true I don't remember the last time I watched the commercial why oh? No, except jail, prison, prison that's it, prison. The super bowl I didn't watch the super bowl.

KDG

You didn't watch super bowl.

Jesse AleXander

I yelled that by everybody from not watching it. But yeah, no, I didn't watch it bro because I turned on for two minutes expecting like some good commercials, and it was ass.

KDG

I heard there was like even the commercials were ass.

Jesse AleXander

Yeah, they went the same way, no like they like to commercially used to be like raunchy and like I was like a little like you know, like whoa did you see that commercial bro, exactly like that, that whoa see, that's the action yeah, we got action or something like that you normally wouldn't see on a commercial.

Jesse AleXander

That was literally just a one-time thing and you won't see that commercial anymore. You had to look it up on youtube. That was. Those were the commercials. Now it's like they replay them too. It's not all right, I'll see you next week, right? So it's not even worth it anymore, it's. It's getting too much for me, this whole, the whole economy right now, don't get me into that getting too much for me.

Jesse AleXander

Right now, dude, I can't even grocery shop without like feeling guilty that I spent too much money. It's like it's sad. It's like really, really sad it could be sad.

KDG

Yeah, do you see the new thing?

Jesse AleXander

like the new trend on tiktok at all or no, no, it's like. So walmart lets you go four years back in your order history, say, if you order things four years back, wow, so, like you know, you order things online and uh say you get um delivered or you pick them up. I didn't know people really did that, but yeah, that's what happens. But I go to the store and grab my shit. If I'm ordering anything, I'm ordering on Amazon, because Amazon is way cheaper.

KDG

Yeah.

Jesse AleXander

Even though they are a conglomerate and taking over everybody's business. They really are. It sucks, but hey, if I need to save a couple dollars, I gotta go save a couple dollars. But yes, so because of that, the oh yeah, so you can go four years back on the walmart app to see what you purchased and see the price difference of what it was four years ago and what it was now. Okay, so they look at their grocery order four years ago. You know like okay, now okay. So they look at their grocery order four years ago. You know, like okay, what happens? If I were to, you could just hit rebuy on that order and then we'll show you what it will cost today. Right, literally, they say inflation's just gone up to like like double, it's almost quadruple, like the order was almost quadruple his order four years ago. So each year it's like, yeah, what is going on, dude, it's like compound interest on inflation shit's getting crazy dude.

Jesse AleXander

Like literally, I had like start looking into like how money is actually being like distributed, and I'm looking into, like I told you, I bought my stock portfolio and stuff again like it's like oh my god, I gotta start.

Breaking the Cycle

Jesse AleXander

I gotta start figuring this out and looking for using the same loopholes that these motherfuckers are using on me because, yeah, if I don't, I'm gonna stay poor and like working for everybody else the rest of my life and that's not happening for us. Yeah, that's not happening for us, especially with you. Know, some of you like with you and everything you've been through like hell, no. And then 90 of the people that do deserve what should be given to them by the government don't get it because they make it such a hassle to do it exactly. And no, no, no, no, no, no. We are getting what we deserve. Dude, I did this injury, no, but you going through everything, like bro, you're not. Nah, yeah, it's sad. I see all these people telling me I pay this for insurance. Like bro, you should be what. I gotta show you how to do this and that, like that's getting crazy, that's crazy just because they don't like like.

KDG

Homeless people don't even know that they could get such an Asian out, ladies and gentlemen, like, come on what like we got.

Jesse AleXander

That's the same. Like you, if you are homeless out there, you need some place to live. Or even even if you can't afford it, go on that Section 8's housing list. Hey, it may last a little, it may be a long time until you get it. It may be a couple months, you know what I'm saying. Five, four, six months. No for you, for people with actual, you could have written down disabilities like that, you'll get it faster. But like people like with, like like me, like with ptsd and like stuff like that, yeah, it will be. It could, it depends on the list. But it could take years. But still, if I put my name down now, hey, if I get that call in six years, no, you know how fucking happy you're going to be if you're in a bad spot.

Jesse AleXander

Yeah, of course, Be like oh my God, I completely forgot. I put my name on that list. I'm so happy I did. Thank God I went through that. I was so caught up in a mindset of living for today. Hell yeah, live for today. You don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, right, but there has to be some part of your mind that's got a plan for what's going to happen and thank God for Mama Duke's papa for teaching me.

Jesse AleXander

I never took it. I always took it in, just never put it to practice, right, and that's why I'm trying to instill in you, right, but I think you already have it. It's just the fact that you need to, we need to get you, yeah, all that stuff going first.

KDG

Well, if they do, then you know.

Jesse AleXander

Jesse AleXander

No, not just because I was in prison and it's called getting out getting out of jail. Yeah, it's part of it, but the whole thing is breaking the cycle, guys. It's getting out of that mental thought, that routine that you know you shouldn't be in you shouldn't be in that, those friends you know you shouldn't be hanging around, but you still go back to them. The repeating door of prison and jail and rehab and addiction and mental health problems and doctors trying to give you medication all that everything.
