But I knew they They probably knew something was up. >> I feel like as kids you think you don't know >> Yeah, they ████ know. >> As parents they're watching you. You're like doing donuts on the floor like, "Uh-huh." And they're just like, "He He thinks he's He's in heartbreak." >> And then the phases that like they kind of like you kind of don't know but as an adult you you could look back and be like oh ████ I was kind of going through it where you get really sad you're

5:53 crying all the time and then you go into this weird phase where you just hate women for a little bit. Oh you you got red pilled? >> [laughter] >> Like no like I think this happens to men like especially young men they're not experienced with this they just go once they heal from the pain or whatever. >> Just generalize now. >> They generalize women are ████ I hate them they're loose blah blah and I found out this chick started talking to some other dude via MySpace cuz she posted I remember it was like a it was a picture of her and another guy and I was like so I felt like oh she she's she turned she left me for another guy. So it was like it doubled down even more so I was like you know these ████ I hate this lady you know so I didn't really like her and she had a locker right next to me and I'd always like she'd always say hi to me and I'd be like and I'd just be really mean to her.

6:43 I was really mean to her. And I would call her like a ████ I was I was >> Oh ████ [laughter] >> I was like it was bad. >> Shut up ████ >> I was like no kind of bro it was kind of like that cuz I was so angry at her I was and I would like I would kind of pretend like I was joking but I kind of wasn't and then but she would start laughing and she kind of liked it. She was like that's the Nick I like. She kind of liked when I was being mean to her. And I remember being like this is ████ up like this is weird. I didn't know what to think you know. So much so where she started talking to me again and at during this time where I stopped talking to this girl I was like kind of talking with Tiff a little bit like this is like I was like kind of we're hanging out a little bit and but nothing serious cuz I think she was actually kind of dating somebody else. Um

7:33 fast forward to I this girl asked me to come over her house and like hang out with her and she like tried to hook up with me or something in like the laundry room. >> Hell yeah. >> And then I felt like this is this is not appropriate. >> You got to do it in the kitchen. >> No, I felt really bad about it. I felt like really guilty about it. Cuz I was like, I don't like her. Like that's what I felt. I was like, I I I I thought I did and then I kissed her again and I was like, I don't like her at all. And I just was like, >> You didn't want to like disrespect >> And I stopped and I and I didn't I didn't talk to her again after that. I kind of just stopped talking to her. >> guy. >> No, I don't think it's me honorable, bro. I think it was just like what I felt in the moment >> moment and I just was like, mhm. >> Yeah, I think you were genuinely curious to like see because you had felt something so strongly previously and then when you got there and it wasn't the same you were like >> I thought that's what I wanted, you know, and I I went through the ebbs and

8:24 flows and I just kind of >> I wish I had that. >> couldn't look at her the same after that. >> Dude, I did the exact same thing with the chick. But anyways, continue. >> But did you grab her titties a little bit first? >> No, no, no, she didn't offer it as as we didn't have a laundry room situation. We were just in like a sitting on a chair. I was sitting behind her watching a thing. Anyways, >> Did you get hard? >> No, no, no, because I didn't want it. I thought I wanted it. I thought I wanted it. >> But even when I don't want it I get hard. >> Yeah, but but when it's like em- emotional can change stuff. >> That's true. >> Yeah. >> And I think at that like you're I think that's peak emotions for for a young lad, you know? >> Yeah, it's everything. >> It's like and you don't know what to do. And I felt so like uh like all over the place emotionally at that time. Where I just was like, I don't think I should have a girlfriend at all. Like that's what I thought for a

9:14 while cuz I was like, I didn't like how mad I would get about or how like jealous I'd feel or >> And you started wrestling and checking out dudes. >> No, that was that was like much later. That actually helped me out a lot later. I'm trying to just put the >> timeline together. >> sexual angst out on the mats. Um but no, like when And then I kind of was like, all right, I'm just going to be alone for a while. I'm not going to just I'm going to try to figure out my own ████ a little bit. And then that's when I was like, all right, I'm going to start working out. I'm going to start like doing other things just like kind of occupy the brain a little bit and I think that helped me out a lot. Just gave me a different focus. Cuz otherwise you just you're just a horny boy. >> This whole time you you didn't Did you talk to your sisters or ask them >> ████ no. >> Cuz they're lesbian. >> No. >> One of them One of them is. >> No, it's not even that. I think I did No, I said I didn't because I kind of just didn't trust uh

10:04 >> I didn't trust >> I didn't trust that they would uh >> have your best interest. >> I just want to hide You know at that age you don't want to be vulnerable. You thought it was like it was a bad thing to kind of talk about how you feel, you know? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> So that was the other thing. I just didn't feel safe with that and I was like, I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out. >> Did you listen to slow jams and R&B and and it helped you cry? >> I'll listen to Jodeci. I'll listen to ████ all that stuff. I was like, just crying all the time. >> I think it was good that you got You got a chance to kind of get her back but then realized like it's not what I wanted. At such an early age. >> Uh cuz I was so amazed at that thought like as a kid where I was like I'm just going to be so mean to this chick cuz I was so mad at her. >> [laughter] >> And then when she kind of flipped on me, I remember that blew my brains. >> You know what I think it is? I think you turned her off by being a little ████ >> 100%. >> And when you were a man she was like, oh

10:54 he's finally a man. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But then by that time you're like, my heart belongs to Tiff now. >> And and I realized like that was the balance like with everything and I was like, oh, okay. I was I came in too hot. >> Yeah, you came >> I came in way too hot and then that's what taught me how to like, oh, okay. To recalibrate a little bit. >> You guys ever think about how like we weren't actually taught real love? So that's why we don't know like feeling infatuated and being desperate we we think that's love. So that's why when you have a high emotion and you're just like, oh my god, you make me feel so amazing. And you're like love dumping on a girl cuz you think that's what you're supposed to do. >> Yeah. >> I was like, dude, that's a ████ sad childhood that we didn't have balance. >> I mean, that's that's just called young

11:44 love, right? That's the whole point of being phrases that it's it's like it's so naive and so pure and so innocent that it's going to be shat on in like in half a fart. Like >> But that's movies, dude. I'm telling you. It's just movies. >> But that's what I'm saying though. Like how lucky is Tiff in a sense if she had no choice hypothetically that you went through that and then was able to get with her. Because like you had to discover like the overbearing simp coming in too hot to the piece of ████ call somebody a ████ but like that kind of working and realizing that like that's not who I want to be. >> Yeah. >> And then find a little bit of a median middle ground to work on something. >> Cuz it's funny cuz Tiff kind of went through her own experience like that on with her like first little like boyfriend that she was with. Little ████ dude. >> [laughter] >> Well, just holding holding ████ grudges. >> Yeah, what's his name? What's his name? >> ████ I'll beat your ass.

12:34 >> Oscar. >> You're both rebound lovers. >> Yeah, like we kind of we kind of realized cuz I think she calibrates quick quick quicker than I do cuz she's way smarter than I am. But like so she was like, nah, I don't want to deal with no ████ like that. Whatever she went through. So then I think that's when we kind of just found each other at the right time. That's what I always say it's like we got so ████ lucky. And like we we figured out the right time. >> So that's good for people to like do that in high school. >> to experience Yeah, get out the >> way, bro. >> As much as it's heartbreak or whatever, like you can still go home and you're not paying ████ rent or mortgage. You're not cooking food. Like you know, it's just a space for you to be like, oh, heartbreak, okay, cool. Just Just do it in your room. Just do it in your room, you know? Yeah, don't get into danger. Heartbreak, cool. It's better than the stupid stuff. >> Yeah, seriously. >> You know? And then it's like you feel that and then you become something else entirely. You go ████ for a little

13:24 bit. You realize somebody goes, you're a dick. You're an ████ Then you go like that was too far. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you bring yourself right back. >> Back. And then you and you probably if you're a normal human like I am, you ████ up again. >> Cuz I think boys need to understand like cuz they're not I don't think they're properly taught like boundaries. Or like that's how they learn. >> Yeah, that's how we've been learning since we've been infants. >> With anything. We always got to test the boundary at the I bet you see it with Taika, right? Like you see him always like trying to see like what's the rule? Can I go farther than that? Okay, what's the farthest I can go? And then it's even like >> Mama said no. Well, mama said no. And then it's like, "Okay, both of them said no. Do they say it twice or >> That's why I believe in ████ kids up, man. You ain't got no time for that ████ >> Yeah. >> It's probably yeah. >> ████ >> Let us know in the comments if you believe in ████ up kids. >> ████ yeah. >> Probably better than iPads. [laughter]
