0:00 when it was Chinese New Year and all the firecracks would go off and we would try to find the duds that fell off and then we would tape them onto our model airplanes and helicopters and stuff, blow them up and then try to create like a fuse. Yo, we was just blowing our old Whoa, dude. There's a lot of parallels to it. I'm starting to understand how we've turned out. Dude, what the bro? What the?

You got to go like
1:41 this and then there's an air pocket. Oh, I feel it. I don't want to do it though. Our viewers are going to love this. That sounds flat. Sounds ugly. Yeah. Well, uh, that just sounds like sex. Does it sounds like boring ass sex like forest gun? Mine just sounds like sex. Sex. So, what's a childhood toy that you wanted so badly, but there was no way in hell your parents were going to buy you? This right here till this day, dude. Super Soers, bro. The Legos. Or like Nerf guns, like seen those commercials having the big ████ like my parents would be like, "F███ no, you're not getting that." Those blow up things that you can punch sock and them bops. Yes. Thank you. Yeah. They knew you were going to ████ knock somebody out. They would want to sock and bop them. My brother and I both wanted those, but then it was it would be mayhem. The
2:31 sickest thing I always saw kids have and I just knew there's no way we could afford it. But I'm like, man, if you had one of these, you ████ had it made was power wheels, bro. Power wheels. I had one. You did? Dude, I'm like, dude, that guy had it ████ made, man. I got the hand-me-down one. Like the one that we had just didn't work at the house. Like you had to pedal it. Yeah. You like push off the floor. By the time like it came to me, it was like my sisters played with it and then it was Mine had like no batteries. It just didn't work. I had the ATV one. Oh, let's see. All right, dude. I just said I didn't have one. You It wasn't new. Oh, okay. I feel better now. Yeah, it was used. Somebody gave it to you. Someone bought it for you. My My parents always had like really wellto-d do friends and then when they like moved to Japan, they would just give us or buy he would buy stuff from them or whatever. So, we got lucky.
3:21 But my ultimate that I never got and I think I'm going to save up and get one one day is the Lego pirate. What is it? The the big one. The big ship. Yeah. I was able to get the small one. I saved up hella money and I begged my parents like take me to Toys R Us and I remember it was like $50 or something. It was a lot back then. Dude, that is a lot. Yeah. But you know the little one, right? But then there's the main the Jolly Rodger. Like that's the one I wanted. But yeah, I never got that one. Now you can. Yeah. But what are you going to do? You going to build it? Where you going to put it? In that case. Yeah. Put it right there. Yeah. That'd be sick. I never got a skateboard cuz my mom always thought it was too dangerous. Like you're going to break something as a kid. Oh, really? But we got She gave us like bikes. Have you ever broken a bone before? No, but I did fall and like
4:12 scrape ████ a lot. But I never luckily never broke anything. I probably would have broke something on a skateboard though. Skipboard will ████ your ████ up. Skateboards are burn. I wanted a easy bake oven. Oh, that's so sick. And then I got it and then I made stuff in it and I was like, "This s███'s whack." You're like, "I rather use the regular oven." Like, this s███'s whack and it tastes like ████ Oh, do you use real ingredients for it or how does that work? I think so. They like comes with like specific ingredients for the thing. So, you mix But the commercials were so good though. Yeah. Yeah. It's They sold the ████ out of that. It's the three goos together just like Play-Doh. It turns into a muffin. I wanted a um a stretch Armstrong. What's that? The stretchy toys. You remember that dude? Stretch Arm super stretch and then it would stay
5:02 stretched cuz it had whatever thingies inside of it and then if you like pressed the button or something it would like come back together. It was the weirdest ████ That was like a hot selling toy for a while. It was it was everywhere. Weirdly popular. I used to always think, who the ████ would want one of these? I used to think that this loser right here. I used to be like, "This is ████ lame. You can't do no action moves with that." That's fine. You know what else I really really wanted though? I was just warmed up cuz I didn't want to give like what I really wanted right away. But on the Power Wheels tip, when they came out with the Jurassic Park Jeep, that was ████ sick. But it was that was that was so far outside of my parents could give me anything that I didn't even dream of it. I was just like, "Must be nice." Anything that's brand name was out of my stratosphere. That's like That's too crazy. Yo, they had Transformers and I just always wanted Transformers
5:52 cuz like one cars was already cool, but two, if you could turn it from a car into a robot and then back and ████ like it's two for one. That was one of my main toys that I No, it's my choice. It's my toy. The little ones. Transformers. But I always wanted the big If you got them all, didn't you make the uh No, no, you couldn't do Voltron. Some of them could. No, that's Voltron. Yeah, some some Transformers would let you combine it. You could do that with Voltron or you could do that with the Megazord for Power Rangers. Oh, damn. That was That was I always wanted like a Nintendo or Sega Genesis. Oh, you never had a game system? I got a Chinese Nintendo. What games does that play? It It's like math. Yeah, there's like Tetris. It'll have like a 100 games on it, but they're all bootleg versions though. It's like fake boot. It's like Cat Mario, fake Shinobi, fake ████
6:42 all that weird ████ Did you have friends who have the consoles? Yeah. So, you would just go to their houses? Yeah. Come to my house like, "What the ████ is this?" I know, dude. I wanted the uh Nintendo glove. Remember the glove? Oh, heck yeah. That was crazy. That was crazy. Yo, there was so many accessory toys. Even for Duck Hunt, they had like the gun and stuff. Duck Hunt. I'm like right up on that TV. I love Do Yeah, we all did it. A dog comes with a duck in its mouth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I never had a PlayStation. Me neither. Kick your ████ ass. When it was out, my cousins had it. I was like, damn, we're still on the whatever the older one was. N64. N64. Yeah. So, the graphics wasn't as cool or as the PlayStation 2. No. Yeah, it was PlayStation then N64, then PlayStation
7:33 2. I never had PS2. PS4. I never had those. You know what I did have that I thought was pretty ████ sick? Um, so my parents didn't really let me have toys, but anything that they thought was productive, I got to have. So like I was really into kung fu, so I had all kinds of weapons. That's so cool. I had a a real broadsword that I would chop my front yard tree with. Like it's not the wiggly kind. Like I had like a real ████ broad sheep pants. I had the ████ um what are those things called again? The you know the Oh, the sticks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. To fuzz. I had like all kinds of weapons cuz I think in my parents' mind it's like Oh, this is for like his kung fu thing. So, I had all kind ninja stars for skill building is crazy. I had ninja star. I didn't even learn ninja stars in kung fu, but I'm like, "Oh, this is Japanese. I didn't practice
8:23 this." All right, fine. Let's get two of those. He had like the ████ the chain knife thing. Oh, ████ He's like lying on the floor. Yeah, I did I did learn that. I learned a little bit. That looks real. That looks so real. And then I was like I was like, which how would you actually use this? And then uh when Scorpion came out, I'm like, oh, that's the same ████ It's the same concept. Like get over the dagger. Yeah. My version of that was to skip it. Oh, skip skipping was the one. That ████ was a challenge. My brother and I would have challenges who could get the highest number. That's the original step counter, huh? Oh my god. I feel like that's such a smart toy. That's such a smart toy. Gets kids tired out, man. It was better than a hula hoop. You have your child in one spot. Yeah. Yeah, bro. Yeah, that's so true. Let's bring back.
9:14 Yeah. Yeah. Stay there and play. It's like the yo-yo. You just We're here. Damn. I feel like we had a We had a good childhood. I feel like like compared to the kids, we just had no phones. Yeah. We had some creativity. We played with toys. We played with stuff. I I definitely remember having to use my imagination a lot with like the Transformers. I'm like, "All right, you guys are going to fight these guys." And then ████ dude, I would set up I would play with action figures and I would like I would do like fight scenes all the time. I would just choreograph stuff. This guy's going to win. This guy's going to save the day. The next level thing to me was like not toys, but going over someone's house where their dad was crafty and the next level ████ they would do for like tree houses or like I remember one time this um one one family had the ton of cardboard boxes but made it into a
10:05 massive like castle fort situation that all the kids could run around. Wow. And I was, it was the whole living room, twotory house, and it's like huge ceilings, right? So, they made like a big thing out of it. And I'm like, that is so cool. And I'm like, man, how come you can't do that, Dad? Yeah, that would be sick, man. Yeah. I've always wanted a treehouse, too, when I was little. That cuz I Treehouse was That's how you know like, dude, Bart Simpson has one, but some of these kids, their parents are like, they'll build like a whole thing out and you're just like, that's so cool. How does that even work? Even a little box on top of a tree with a ladder would would have been sick. Just like going up there. Yo, I remember the first time I got a BB gun. My mind was kind of pump. It was the metal ball. It was like a It was a rifle. Yeah. You pump it. Pump it. Pump. And it was a And I remember I was like, "Yo, this is so
10:56 crazy. I have one of these." And I started shooting ████ around the house. I was shooting everything on the outside and I shot a squirrel for the first time and I felt so bad. I was like, "I don't want to do this no more." I felt Did it Did it get hurt? It felt It got hit and screwed away and I just felt like a I didn't like that made me feel some type of way or I'm gay, dude. They they made uh ████ slingshots. Um and they were using like little pebbles at first. So I was like, "Oh, hell yeah." You know, you just pick up rocks and like, you know, shoot ████ And then one day this dude came out and they got really good and I started getting really good too. And then one day this dude pulled out a Ziploc bag and he had little bolts and nuts. Oh. And and then we were like, "Okay, cool." And then yo, we started shooting birds on like power
11:46 lines. Oh my. And yo, dude, watching like a bird get like feathers going Yeah. And then it just fallen and like it's different. I'm a monster. You got addicted to that feeling? No. Then you started going for bigger animals. Hey, reality hits, bro. It's also one of those things that when you do it too, you feel like you're in trouble, you know, like something really wrong happened. Something bad is going to happen. Cuz I remember the first time my dad was teaching me how to use it and I, you know, you do the thing where you actually point it. He's like, "Hey, what the ████ Don't point that at me." Like teaching me trigger discipline or whatever the ████ I mean, uh, like practice proper gun safety. And then when I shot that thing, I was like, "Oh, I get it. I see. This isn't just a toy." One of the one of the stupidest things I ever did was
12:38 um so like I had a airsoft Beretta I got from Taiwan and my other friend he had like a regular like like that kind of a you pump pump a pellet gun. We shoot each other. No, no. He was like, "What you know it's always like what someone else has you think is cool." So I was like, "You want to trade?" Oh, hell yeah. Let's trade. And then so I now I have the rifle. He has the uh airsoft gun. And I think I was watching maybe Terminator. Does Terminator have a saw off shotgun or something? Oh yeah. Like twist. He's on the bike. So I saw the off rifle. But then the thing is like now you can't really aim with it. And then because it's still technically a toy, it's not like a real solid stock like made out of wood. So when you after you saw it, it's like sawing this in half. Like half of it is just hollow. So when
13:28 you hold it, it's like pressing into your I was like, "F███, why did I do that? Now I can't even glue it back together. Now I can't even trade for my airsoft gun back. I just saw it for no reason. God damn it." But that was the vibe, bro. You were like, "Dude, that saw off shotgun's sick. ████ I don't know. Hollow on the inside. It's Terminator 2's fault, bro. No matter what toy I had as a kid, my favorite thing no matter what was going to my dad's shed and looking all like the flammable chemicals and being like, how am I going to set this pit on fire? I'd like made a little fire pit in our backyard and I would just like try to set things on fire. I don't know what this is. It's like spray paint. This has the flam. I would look for the flammable sign. And I and I would just like figure out
14:18 things to burn in the backyard. My mom like, "Hey, what are you doing?" I'm like, "Nothing. I'm just hanging out over here. I'm not doing any. I play basketball." But clearly I have a little hole and I'm just like throwing ████ in there. And then I would try to cover it up and my mom like my dad would be outside. He would step and fall in. He was like, "What the ████ You just digging holes around us." And I'm just like, it's such kid ████ dude. My brother and I, we we were throwing rocks at our neighbor's house. Had it coming. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of, actually. And um the the dad comes out and he's like, "Hey, stop throwing rocks at our house." My brother and I like we're on my patio um which is leveraged above the house and we're like, "We're not throwing rocks." And my brother drops a rock. It was I was just like,
15:09 "F███." And then um my mom comes upstairs. She comes out to the patio and she's like, "You two have been so good today. Let's go get ice cream." And we're just like, "F███." Like, did you feel so guilty? So guilty. Like we we were both licking your ice cream. We were both eating our ice cream super slow. We're like, "Oh, f███." Like just worried that like, you know, he's going to come over to our house and be like, "Hey, your kids been throwing rocks at our house." Did he ever come by? No. For some reason, u back on the Super Soaker thing, cuz that was obviously all the rave back then. Yep. If we would walk into like a store that had Super Soers, there's like, "Oh, please please please." is always like, "No, it's not even like a consideration." Just like, "No, no, no, no." Right. You know what I have to do now? Cuz I just know it's going to come and it could go any store. He's going to want something. We're going in here to get this. We're not
15:59 getting anything else. I always have to brief cuz we can go into a ████ gas station like, "Can I get the ab like whatever? Anything." I'm like, "Dude, I'm literally just need to go in and out. I have to grab something in and out." He likes abazaba. Just random ████ Dad, I want the rhino. Old timey candy. Dude, I'll go to I'll go in Lowe's to get something real quick and he'll come up with something like, "Oh, can I have that race car on the side?" I didn't even know they sold race cars at Lowe's for that reason. Yeah, for that reason. But then the thing is I realized later on because if I wanted a super sug Yeah, I I'll get you that. And you're like, "Dude, I'm going to get made fun of." You're like, "Mom, this is what doesn't have the backpack with the water on it. Where's the back? How am I
16:50 going to pump it? This is this like look this kid. You just sit in the bathtub to fill it up." You know, the little plug that water on a hot summer day. Like I So I'm so there. Oh, that's something. You don't think it's about money. You think it's about like dude like why didn't I deserve this? Why are you depriving me of money? Totally. It's money. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz they were ████ expensive. They're like a hundred bucks a pop. Some of them. Do you guys remember like um being like a like a elementary kid and then the things that teenage geeks are into? You think it's so sick, right? Like the things that you would make fun of when you're a teenager of the nerds. When you're like six or seven, it's ████ sick. Like I went over this one kid's house and um in his room it was a
17:41 whole World War II re reenactment. Like he had airplaneed like like on fishing string just like fighting each other in the sky and then his whole bedrooms like he had like war coming like a tank and all that. And I was like dude this is like next level. And at that point I was like I I got to go to the hobby store and I got to get like the same ████ and I want I wanted to paint and do this stuff. And then looking back, I'm like, "Yeah, but that's like a autistic person with a obsession with toy trains." But when you're that age, you just think that that nerd stuff is like so freaking cool. Dude, I did model cars and planes and it was really really fun until when I got a little bit older, me and my me and my cousin when it was Chinese New Year and all the firecracks would go off and at the grocery stores or whatever, like my mom's our moms would go into the grocery
18:32 store and we would try to find the duds that fell off and we just stole a bunch that would still work and then we would tape them onto our model airplanes and helicopters and stuff, blow them up and try to create like a fuse. Yo, we was just blowing our old this ████ when we were we spent hours building these things. But then when you're older, you don't go ████ It's not cool. You're a maniac. How do I blow it up? That's cool. Wa, dude, there's a lot of parallels to You know what I'm talking about. I'm starting to understand how he turned out. I definitely had like a a blowing up stuff phase for sure. It was mostly Oh ████ dude. What the hell, bro? What the ████ That makes so much sense. She should have got me the Super Soaker. I know. It's your origin story. It was innocent. One of my favorite pastimes
19:22 was blowing up planes with my cousin. But he really wanted the super soaker. You killed him first. His name was Mohammed. Damn. You're like, if I had a super right now, I could have put it out though, but the fire can't be put out. ████ It just manifested.
