But I don't I mean, it's not like the context is so different. It's like >> We know what your plan A is. You have to go back. So, I'll Practically, I'm not going to go back to like any of the recent ex-girlfriends. Those obviously ended for a reason. >> Why did it end though? >> for sure. >> You can You can miss them. Well, YEAH, SURE, BUT >> [laughter] >> NO, YOU GOT TO GO BACK TO A GIRL THAT got away cuz you didn't you don't know. >> What happened with the prom girl that she it just nothing >> Oh, I did talk I did talk about this girl before but in a completely different way. Uh or in the exact same way. It's the one I lost my virginity to. >> Did you guys smash that night? >> No, not that night. >> How did you How did you even manage that at all? How did you >> a um she went to a different school and

2:30 then she first uh we were just really cool cuz we we would staff summer camps and ████ together. So, we got close on a completely different non-academic try to flirt by like the school tree type ████ you know? It was like you're like actually at camp. You're like working with people and like you're in teams and small families with your staff people. You know, you spend a whole summer together. It's completely different kind of ████ love. >> You Did you lose your virginity at camp? >> Mhm, mhm, mhm, not not until later. >> Couldn't have been at your house. >> No, it wasn't at my house later in college. It was It was She came over to >> Damn, you didn't lose your virginity till ████ college? You're kind of a ████ loser, dude. >> Big loser, big loser. >> [laughter] >> Also, it wasn't in high school. You guys dated till college >> yeah, yeah. >> No, we didn't we never dated. >> Oh. >> That's the thing. So, we're fast-forwarding right now. Basically, uh she was at a different school. I was super into her but like had no game,

3:21 didn't know how to Honestly, I think she also just waited for me to make a move. I think I just had no game. >> She waited years. >> That's That's how Korean girls are. >> I remember she even invited me over to her home one time. And [snorts] uh honestly, I felt super inferior. She was one of those people who lived in Irvine, Korean family that had like mad money. >> Oh. >> Mad money. >> Yeah. >> Uh super nice house and stuff like that. And I was the dude that like my parents do dry cleaners. I live in this Brea Park condo like >> It would have never worked. >> know that, yeah. I just felt inferior the whole time. So, I just it was always like she's too good for me but she's so cool, so we're just friends. We'll just be friends. >> Okay. >> But we're such cool friends that she'll be like, "Hey, why don't you like come to homecoming with me?" I'm like, "Cool." So I I went to her homecoming. So when it came to like my prom, and this is this is the timing ████ I told the story last time because of the context was that I had got with another girl, my girlfriend,

4:11 right before right before prom, but like so we had already uh figured out that we were going with different people. So my girlfriend at prom went with somebody else and I >> That's weird. >> was at prom with this girl. >> How you going to be a swinger at in high school or at >> Cuz we had already You know how like you got to ask a long time >> arrangement. Yeah, yeah, I get it. >> we ended up me and my girlfriend got together. Uh but anyways, so so I I couldn't cross any other lines that night, but that was the night to cross line. At prom, I she gave me every signal. >> What was the signals? >> The way that she allowed me to dance with her, the way she allowed me to place my hands in certain places, the kiss on the cheek at the end of the night with the long stare at the end when I was dropping her off. The ████ shots of Skyy vodka that we got to take in her friend's Mercedes before >> So you cheated. >> No. I didn't. She was the one who gave me a kiss on

5:01 the cheek and I just let her I I walked and then I went back to my girlfriend afterwards. >> He's not convinced. Look. >> So like that and I had a great night with my girlfriend. But I just never was able to cross that line or experience that. >> You danced with the devil. That's By high school standards, that's cheating, bro. >> She went to she went to college uh out in Chicago or whatever, like Northwestern or whatever. And then um That'd be so ████ crazy if she ever finds out or watches this ████ by the way. That's that's the funnier thing because that's a real girl that got away. You'd be like, "Oh s███." >> [laughter] >> She knows. Anyways, so she's >> got the same story basically about you, huh? >> About how you're the thickest ████ she's ever met. >> Biggest loser, ████ poorest kid, whatever. I don't know. Uh basically uh we got mad cool again later. She came and visited and then we partied. And now everything beforehand was like high school partying is different. College partying was different level, so we got ████ up. And then there was like, you

5:53 know, we would like make out and do all this stuff, but then she would pass out, so I would have to take her home, and then I wouldn't want to cross the lines because I actually really, really liked this chick. >> Mhm. >> And next thing you know, we're talking every day all summer. And you know, and then she comes for one more party before she has to bounce and go back to school, and I think we're maybe we'll go for like a long distance. Maybe this is the one where I'm like, we define this relationship. We get so ████ up that we lose our virginity to each other. She wakes up and she wasn't about it like that. >> Oh, I remember. I remember. >> It wasn't like a non-consensual, it was just like, "Oh, I didn't want it to be like that, and I don't know how to do this with our friendship." And then she had to bounce. And then so that The reality hit, she needed time, and then that that all momentum was gone. She just couldn't >> imagine being cream pied by a peasant boy. >> Mhm. Mhm. So, that's that's the only like >> Weren't you like hella sad?

6:43 >> I was devastated. I was honestly dev- >> Did you feel like, "What's wrong with me?" >> But also, it's one of those things where we weren't like a together that I lost something. >> Did you feel >> It was only like the possibility that was >> Yeah, but you know that like young mind, it just it's it's all an R&B song to you, and you just paint a ████ bigger foot picture than it is. That must have been like ter- like tw- >> Yeah, I hated it, for sure. >> So, that's why she's your plan B, so you can make it all right again. >> No, she's not my plan B, dude. I don't have a plan. >> Why did you call her plan B in the beginning? >> Trinity universe, that would have been >> the multiverse. >> It's the You're forcing me to ████ give you guys some goddamn content now. I'm nervous. >> your Miles Morales story. >> Yeah, this is Miles Morales story. In this world, you Nina got with Mike Song, so she's not even available. >> [laughter] >> ████ Like, we know who Peter Parker's with, but Miles Morales

7:33 >> [laughter] >> Not the ████ first last name and ████ too, man. That ████ kills me. >> [laughter] >> And for Mike Song, she always does her hair like that. Oh, every [laughter] day. >> Dude. >> Come on. >> In this universe, too? You're not even a part of Kinjaz. It was Steve. It was Steve and Mike Song. >> I founded Kinjaz so I could destroy it from the inside. >> You're also 5'7" in this world. >> [laughter] >> Well, you're At least you're with your Korean princess. >> Amp World, don't do that. >> Sally Kim? >> Don't do that. >> [laughter] >> We're playing a dangerous game. He's about to say start yelling CP. >> [laughter] >> It's getting close. IT'S GETTING CLOSE. >> IT'S LIKE do do do do. >> It's like that big thermometer in a baker. It's like all the way up here now. >> [laughter] >> There are red zones to this game right now. Like >> He's basically telling us like, "All

8:23 right, guys. Keep going." >> Yeah, exactly. >> In this alternate universe, how many kids did did you have? >> Jesus. >> Okay, in this alternate universe, real question. Would you have been open to relocating for her? >> During the college days? >> Yeah. >> Or like or like making a plan >> Making a plan of like cuz you know she would she like went to Chicago, right? >> She's like, "You transfer. Transfer to Northwestern." >> What do you think about that? Yeah, would you go to college >> Cuz of because of like my inferiority complex to like whatever it was that I always felt with her, she would have to be the one that's so dedicated to a concept of a relationship to be like, "You should come do this. Like let's do this." versus me being like, "Maybe I can go out there and like, you know, you know, I would I would have such like a stupid pride in that era to be like I must be a man of my own before like some Great Gatsby ████

9:13 >> So she got to pull you into it. >> Like I have I have to be of worth. I have to You know what? If anything, let me just do my own thing come back and be of worth for you. >> Okay. You never had a long-distance relationship in college, right? >> Uh long distance me was UCLA to UCI. >> Okay, that's nothing. But if you were to if she was like, "Hey, let's try to make this work. Let's try to make this work. I'll go to Chicago. You go to UCI, let's stay together and be monogamous. Could you have pulled that off? For her, I think so. >> Really? >> That's a big statement, bro. >> Anthony Horny Lee? >> Shut up. >> [laughter] >> Shut up, fool. >> ANTHONY HORNY LEE. >> DUDE, THAT'S a big statement. That's your whole college experience. Like cuz by that time like I was in essence on and off cuz even when I had like a girlfriend in high school, it

10:03 didn't mean that I didn't think that she was like a bad on my list that I would have always dreamed of. >> So she was always that one. >> At that time. At that time. >> Because like an unfinished business you have like here. >> And a feeling of unattainable. I know that's like >> Yeah, no, I know I know exactly what you're talking about. >> Just that guy feeling where you're like, oh dude, like I out of my league, but why is she my friend? So like ████ I'll just dream. >> I had one of those and she used to come she used to come visit me and ████ and I was such a ████ I didn't even know that she obviously liked me. But like I didn't make any moves. >> That >> Well, you're just like you're too hot to like me. >> Kind of, yeah. You just I just she was just like perfect to me. You know, it was one of those girls. >> I think everyone's been through that situation. >> you're such a ████ that you're like, oh she's so perfect that like, oh man, holding on to this friendship it should be good enough cuz if I cross the line and it ends, I'll lose out >> Exactly. >> Yeah, and you're just such a ████ And you don't realize how gay that is to be

10:54 like, I want to protect the friendship. It's like, dude, ████ you should have just gone for it. >> 100. >> She was waiting for it, too. I'm not friends with anybody I went to high school with anymore. Like Like what the ████ was I thinking? >> [laughter] >> When you go on her Instagram, is she married now? >> I have no idea. >> Sure. >> Usually. [laughter] >> The funny thing is like years ago I remember this happening cuz yeah, of course you try to slide in >> [laughter] >> an unanswered thing so that he catches him off guard. I do remember having this conversation specifically with my cousin and then because my cousin knew her, too. But then so you try to find her on Facebook or some ████ like that, but then you can't. So, then you just assume they had to get married >> and change their name. So, then at best then you have to like stalk >> Yeah. You want me to find her for you? I can help. >> No, relax, dude. >> Are you not hearing him right now? He

11:44 already knows exactly who >> [laughter] >> Yeah, I already found out years ago she got married to some white dude. >> Oh, she did? >> There it is. And then I was like, "F███ you. I'm going to go make my own plan A." >> I bet you she says a similar story. >> she watches this right now and goes back and be like, "We could try again, Anthony." >> I bet you she's somewhere out there and if someone's asking her this question in a non-podcast form and she's going like, "Anthony." >> Anthony. >> I guarantee this chick that I that I said, you know, she used to come visit me and ████ She's probably like, "What a dumbass." >> Can can you make it about you again? >> One more time? >> Excuse me? >> Yeah, no. Yeah. Uh her name was Taylor. >> [laughter] >> I really thought she was the ████ man. Thought she was perfect. >> It's like in ████ movies where there's a new narrator halfway through. >> I know. >> You're like, "Who's that guy?" >> Where did that voice come from? [laughter]
