Shootin the shit ep 1 w/ Danny Gamboa

Two friends are having a conversation about their podcast and the guest they have on, Danny Fresh, who is serving in the military in Germany. They discuss life in Germany and how American culture has influenced certain traditions there, such as Halloween and Thanksgiving. They also talk about the dating scene in Germany and how it differs from the US, mentioning differences in attitudes and maturity. They touch on language barriers and the reputation of Americans in relationships. Overall, they find the experience of living in Germany to be interesting and enjoyable. That's what's up man. Making memories, making podcasts. Making memories, making podcasts. That's what we do. We'll go ahead and start the intro because this is the one you wanted. Yeah, there we go. You already know who this is. I brought a very, very, very special guest. I know I say that a lot, but he only comes around every so often, serving the country. So I got to give a shout-out to Danny. Gamboa, go ahead and let them know you're here. What's going on? It's your boy, Danny Fresh. Danny, Danny Fresh. Fresh, yeah, that's funny, man. We gave him that name like shit, man. What was it, middle school or high school? 20 plus years. 20 plus years still using that, man. Hell yeah, that's good shit. So yeah, he's here for about another week or whenever. So I brought him on so we can do our Ojos Mota podcast. He can give us our interpretation on what he thinks about these games. But while we're waiting for everybody, I just wanted to kind of give a little special intro and just see how he's living, man. How's everything going over there? Oh, things are great. So for those that don't know, I'm currently stationed in Kaiserslautern, Germany at Ramstein Air Base. And I mean, it's just one of those things. It's great military life. I mean, you know, you've seen all my travels, everything I've been through and everything I've done, and it has its ups and downs. But I mean, at the end of the day, you're going to always remember the good, never the bad. True. Yeah, it's been a fantastic ride for me. It's kind of opposite for me. I remember the bad and, you know, the good kind of forgetful. Ah, but if you think about it, go back to any, like, relationships or any kind of breakups or anything like that, you never really remember the bad. You only remember the good. Yeah, that's true, man. So you say you're stationed in Germany. Yep. Is it, like, outskirts? Are you, like, in the city? So they make their own city out there. Not that they make their own city, but it's near Kaiserslautern. It's a small area. It's about an hour, 15, hour, 20 from Frankfurt, Germany. Frankfurt's one of the busiest airports in the world. Oh, okay. But the crazy thing about where I'm at is up until a few years ago, and I think it actually still is, but it's the largest gathering of Americans outside of the U.S. We have something about 60,000 Americans between service members and their families out there. Wow. Living on base or living just civilly? It's going to be both. So you're on base and then on the economy, so it's a little bit of both. For me, it's always going to be a benefit to live on the economy. You kind of get more of that authentic experience of the country versus just kind of being stuck on base, and people just, yeah, they'll get lost, and they get in their own little ways instead of being able to explore some of these fantastic countries I get it. Also, you're still around a bunch of Americans. It's like the culture hasn't really changed because you're still with Americans, just the background. No, exactly, yeah. And because of that, especially the influence that we have over there, the Germans, things that they don't celebrate, they've adopted, and they kind of celebrate because of us now. What? Like what? Halloween. It's not really typically a German thing, but because of so many and the influence that the American kids have... Right, because they still want their candy. Yeah. They see that, and they're like, oh, man, okay. It's like we adopted chugging beer. Exactly. We have our little Wurstfest out here. It's going to be built out there, Oktoberfest, so yeah, exactly that. New Braunfels has a very big... So staying on the same subject, the Germans have pretty much, I guess, started or, you know, was a tradition, and we kind of, here in America, adopted, besides obviously Wurstfest and stuff like that. Kindergarten. That's literally a German term. The more you know? Yeah, two words, kinder and garden. Kinder is kids. Garden is garden. So it's just... Garden for the fucking... Yeah. So that is one thing. Kids, well... Yeah. Kindergarten. I didn't think about that. That is a German fucking name. Oh, shit. Trust me, I was living there three years, and I just figured that out like six months ago. Wow, wow, wow. So they adopted Halloween. Any others? So it depends. They adopted Thanksgiving. They usually have American friends, and they'll know of it. There was these girls that I was seeing that they knew of it. That's what I want to talk about. What's up with the girls? Yeah, five minutes into the podcast, we're talking about the girls. Okay. Here we go. Yeah, that's a typical single thing to do, huh? That's not me. No, I'm saying my typical single thing. Live vicariously through your curiosity. Live vicariously through me? There you go. Happily married, by the way. Congratulations, I was there at the wedding. Oh, yeah, you were, man. I'm going to get to Vegas. No, it's definitely a different dating scene out there. Germany is a very good melting pot, so you're going to have all sorts of different nationalities, different ethnicities out there. And to me, I think it's just European women in general are going to be different compared to American women. I think a lot of it has to do with the culture. I was going to say the standards, the looks, the culture. It's standards, looks, but it's just going to be attitudes and a lot of the ways that they carry themselves. Typically, American girls... Boy, they're spoiled like a motherfucker. Who, Americans? Americans, women. And they love drama. Drama, but they're also dumb, so I think a lot of it, whether it's girls or guys, for Americans, is we start drinking what, 16, 17, 18, whatever, and we have to be sneaking it. It's one of those things, when you can't get it, you're going to go overindulge, and you're going to treat it differently. For them, they can start drinking at about 14 or 15, beer only. But it's one of those things, it's not... It's not taboo to them, so they're not excited. When they hit those 21, 22, 25, it's fine. I think liquor for them, I believe, is 18, maybe 21. I don't remember the specifics. I don't typically try to date that young. It's just one of those things that they don't have those same, I don't want to call them ho-phases, but experimental, I guess the ho-phases after they break up. They just don't have all that same... I think every woman has a ho-phase one time, whether it's once they leave the house or that kind of thing. Sure, but they don't necessarily have to indulge and be crazy drinking, drunk, because they're just now experimenting with alcohol. Or maybe their ho-phase starts early, like 14 or whatever, when they can't handle it. Possibly. Back out or whatever. But it's definitely a different environment. And to me... But because it's not a taboo thing, they kind of... It doesn't get out of hand. It doesn't get out of hand, but they just also immature with a different type of respect, I guess, respect for it. Yeah. But no, it's absolutely different. And I think, to me, you see it more taboo out here as younger women dating older men. It's more sugar daddy, that kind of thing. Versus out there, it's not necessarily all going to be about the sugar daddies and what they can do for them. I mean, sometimes it's just the culture as well. So it's definitely not... Do they have a lot of stay-at-home, or they're pretty independent? It can go either way. So yeah, it really can go both ways. I think that a few of the women that I've been talking with or been around, they all have their own careers, they all have their own jobs. But it's definitely not going to be that they have their own families, they have no one else to support them. So they're doing their own thing and, yeah, enjoying life. I bet you. You're enjoying that they're enjoying life. I definitely am. So it's safe to say that they love Americans. Even with that, that actually depends also. Break it down, break it down. Because it's one of those things. Okay, so there was one girl that I dated, and it was just kind of her telling me some of the German references and that kind of stuff from growing up. So she grew up there in Germany. And, I mean, Americans are going to have reputations for just hitting and quitting no matter what. And that's, I think, whether it's here or overseas, anything like that, especially with the military, that's definitely going to be a thing. So it was always one of those things that they kind of knew is if there's any kind of kids that grew up half American or that are half American that definitely don't fit in as just Germans, they sometimes just call them leftovers. Because, you know, the service members are going to have their kids do their thing and then just go to the next spot and not even give a care. Wow. It really can depend. I think the people that really understand and kind of know exactly what's going on and what we bring to their economy are going to appreciate the Americans. It's been one of those things, especially where I'm at in Kaiserslautern. Kaiserslautern. Kaiserslautern. We don't have to speak German. Obviously, it would be nice if we do to kind of help out and just show that we're trying to learn their culture. I don't. And not that I don't want to. It's just I haven't had a need to. Well, I mean, if you're slanging cock, I don't think you really need to know their language. You just pull it out and that's the universal language. You really need to have a conversation. Typically not. But they also don't understand chorizo sometimes. Oh, there you go. Well, so then you're saying, okay, you don't necessarily learn their language and stuff. I haven't seen you talking all this German stuff, but you tend to still get some girls up there. They know a lot of English? Or is it just... Have you ever had a time where the language barrier was just... Where it was purely bedroom? Yeah, yeah. That's going to be weird, but I don't know that it would be weird because you both know it. And you don't have to... You're speaking body language at that time, not verbal language. Yeah, yeah. I haven't had that in Germany. I've had that in other countries, but I haven't had that in Germany. But no, for Germans, they do learn a lot of English. English is very much part of their culture to grow up. Just because a lot of places in the world now, English is the language of business. So you want to make sure that people, wherever they go, they speak English. Especially if they're in any kind of business or economic field. But I'm not talking about... You're talking about the girls. Yeah, yeah. While we're on that subject, we'll get to the business and economy. But that's all one of those things is they teach that in school because they want them to grow up and to learn those things. Yes, they learn German first, but the majority of them do speak English. So you mentioned earlier that they don't really have – they don't see it like sugar daddy things. So what you're saying is they like older men or it's just like – what do you mean? Can you elaborate on that? Yeah, so that's going to go either way. I mean, there's still going to be some that are going to try to be those sugar daddies that want the young ones. Yeah, I mean, there's still going to be that. I mean... Whores are going to be whores anyway. It doesn't matter. But yeah, with this, for the most part, I think the majority of the women that I've befriended over there are not over 30 yet. Okay. And how many befriended are you talking about? This year? I'd say about six this year. Six this year. Not only are you a hot dog, a grandstander, a showboat, and a prima donna, but you're a liar too. I'm a liar? Hey, I didn't say it, man. He's a macho man. Rest in peace, macho. He had something to say. I believe you. I mean, no, no. I'd definitely be, as a single man, and now that there's dating apps I don't see why not, man. I mean, easily. I missed, meaning like, I was already in long-term relationship. I've never experienced the dating apps. I thought apps were after you. Yeah, they were after me. So I don't know how to... I don't know what the percentage rate is. If you're batting 1,000, for everyone that you hit up, you take home, I have no idea how fucking strong those apps are, but I mean, apparently everybody's getting laid on them. But it's also going to depend on your standards. Everybody can get laid, but it depends on your standards too. I was like, we knew a guy growing up in high school that had no standards. Who? There's a few of them. Only one that comes to mind that I never knew firsthand, but I knew the stories, is going to be Ben. He ain't changed, bro. I swear, he ain't changed. I mean, his standards got a little bit better, but I don't know how to... Actually, I take that back. He was... At first, he loved the big women. And now that he's on certain drugs, now he's messing with any women for obvious reasons. But he still... That guy's something else, man. He's a machine. He gets the Lifetime Award to you, man. But I don't know if that's a good thing. There's a lot of ones that he'd probably take back. But that's funny. And I'm definitely quality over quantity. Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course. The older you get, that's what it is, man. Sometimes you don't even want to roll out of bed. You just roll. Get one out real quick. And it's always funny, especially when I come home, too, because they definitely... It doesn't just stop over there. It does carry over here. That's good, man. It's just one of those things that it helps with the military life and kind of embracing the working out and getting in shape and that kind of stuff. So it definitely helps my... Not my score, but my overall level of appearance goes up. Oh, yeah, of course, man. I mean, you look real in shape now. You got the perfect teeth, the jawline. You got everything going for you, man. And not only that, I didn't even bring up your wallet. So if you ain't got none of that and you have your wallet, you're still good. So congrats to you, man, because I know you're a little bit of a late bloomer. Nothing bad about that. I mean, shoot, we all excel at different parts of life. You know, Frank, who's happily married, he's had his golden years. I mean, we're all there, and it teaches us, and, you know, you have your breakups, your, you know... Breakups, your makeups, your life lessons. Your life lessons, and then hopefully you find the one down the road and it makes you forget about all that other stuff, you know, and that's kind of where I was at. You know, I was at the peak of my, I guess you could say, sexual excitement of my life. Your sexual peak? Yeah, my sexual peak, I was working at Sugars, you know, bartending, also even when I was barbacking, you know, and definitely I was, you know, I was definitely being looked at in a higher regard because of that. You were afforded opportunities, and you took them. Oh, yeah, absolutely, man. Opportunities, I always take those, and so, you know, I was at my peak, and guess what, at my peak time, I still wasn't happy. You know, I wanted that one that would be, that ride or die, and I could not find her, and then when I found her, I recognized it, you know, I, uh, you know, let my seed, make sure, you know, I planted the foundation, and, you know, I grew up and became a man, you know, so everything happens for a reason, and, you know, it's good. Being a man, it looks back, when I look back, I'm like, you know, dang, I settled kind of young, 25, but, you know, God has a plan for everybody, and that was my time. You never know, I could have gone real wild and out of control, and, you know. And I, I kind of, not to say, I mean, obviously, what you and Pearl have is absolutely beautiful. I don't know if I necessarily agree with, with plans now. I don't know if there's, I think it's a lot to put on one person to fulfill all the requests, or all the, not requests, but all the desires, all the fulfillment from one person. Not one person is going to be able to always do that. You're right. And actually, you're right, absolutely. Ideologies have changed. You know, because she was, there was one part that I was lacking that she fulfilled, didn't mean that, you know, we were compatible as far as, you know, so many things. We don't have a lot in common, you know. That's one thing that I can say, like, we like to gamble and go to casinos, and that's about it. She has her shows and stuff that she likes. I have mine that are totally opposite. And so, you know, are we the perfect couple? No. But is there? I mean, if you spend your whole life looking for your soulmate, you know, what if you don't find them, you know? And it's all about what I value in a woman. And she marks a lot of those. So, why try to find if there's something else out there when she already marks a lot of the values and, you know, being a great mother, being very respectable. You know, she's very funny, too. I know she doesn't really talk, but she's a funny, she's funny. And I don't mean to keep searching for that one person. Right, right. But it's just, to me, it's like the difference. I mean, yes, you and Pearl's relationship is different, but it's also one of those things that is very, very strong and sturdy because you do know how to be happy on each other, like, without each other and on your own, but because but y'all choose to be happy together. So, like, you have the things that make you happy, she has the things that make you happy, and then you can combine the two and be happy together. Like, you're not just, I can only get my happiness from her or this or that person. So, the fact that y'all have that individuality is still going to be still going to be great. No, for me, I think it's one of those not that I'm going to keep looking and keep searching for the right person or the right thing. I think what I'm getting at is that I'm going to enjoy the experiences that I have from different people throughout my life. And not just sexually, but what people can bring to the table and what life lessons and just interesting new facts that I can appreciate. Yeah, I mean, you were always more intellectual and I get that. That makes perfect sense. You know, with, like I said, going back with being pro, there's just I feel certain stages in relationships that you have to go through. Obviously, the first is the physical, you know, the honeymoon where it's all, you know, it's all about attraction and how you feel. And then it becomes like you start moving into and you start realizing each other's bad habits and then it's like, oh, fuck, where did I end up with this person? At that time, we already had a kid, so it was like, all right, well, there's no turning back now. And then, so we have bumped our heads. You know, there was a little bit of, you know, me side-eyeing, you know, not maybe doing stuff behind her back that I shouldn't have and she caught me. And obviously, from then, she always had a certain like grudge. And so we had to go through that plus all the bartender. And so a lot of what are you doing at night type stuff like that. We went through that phase. Then we went to the real big fighting where it's like, should we even be together? And then, you know, one time we had this talk and I literally was like, I mean, look, you are my life partner. I don't plan on like, this is it. I plan on growing old with you. So we need to figure this shit out. You know, whether it be in all levels. Intellectually, you know, how we feel about each other. You know, being more vocal. You know, be able to communicate sexually. Trying to figure out what works with us because we've been together. You know, that shit, that burns off real quick. Yeah, you got to change things out. You got to start like going with the left hand over there. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like trying to keep ourselves still, you know, the candle still burns. Yeah, you still got to date your partner. Exactly. Yeah, you still got to do all the other things. And once we got that and we realized, look, we both need to compromise and we communicated on, okay, well, this is what I don't like about you. This is what I don't like about you. All right, well, don't do that. I won't do this. You know, it made everything a lot easier, man. We don't fight a lot. It's real true. I mean, people say, oh, well, if you don't fight, then there's no passion. No, there's passion. Trust me, we just know like, you know, how to communicate like adults. It's one of those things I fully, I respect and I like that about y'all. It's, to me, it's one of those things, as soon as you take emotion out of the picture when it comes to anger and arguments, then you can kind of get clear-headed and level-headed and kind of like, okay, what are we really fighting about? What's the root problem here? Yeah. But, yeah, I mean, that's the married life. I don't want to bore y'all or the audience and shit like that, but is there a sleuth button here? Might be, shit. You're in town. You went to Vegas. Matter of fact, you went to Vegas for a marriage. I did. I went to a wedding. One of my friends, she's a former troop of mine, a subordinate, and she's stationed with me in Germany. Her now-husband, they met when they were on a remote assignment in Greenland, in Thule. It's now been renamed to bases, but he is currently stationed in Las Vegas, and again, she's... So, we know why she married him. I'm like, usually it's... Damn, I would've married his ass. But, no, it was good. It was a good time. Now that I think about it, the last two times I've been to Vegas are for weddings, so... You won a little bit? I did. But, did you come back... You can win, but... Did you win or did you even up? So, the first one was an even up. The second one was a win. So, I probably came up about... I'd say the winnings were about $3,500, but the come-up was probably about $1,300. Man. If you can just... If you can just come out there with what you intended on spending, you come out good. When you've got to dig through that last... You know what I mean? You've got to get those reserves out. Man, that's when it's not a good one. But, it was definitely a good time. Actually, this was the first one I did listen to you about playing spots versus playing the table games, so... This one, I think I went and played Ultimate Texas Hold'em. I lost a few hundred at that. I tried my hand at poker. I had my little cheat sheet of my notes. I read like five minutes before playing blackjack, so it didn't work. So, I was up, and then I was down. I tried roulette. I actually got lucky the second time I played roulette. But, yeah, for the most part, it really wasn't shit, and I finally came through on the... On the plots. I saw you were playing, what, you were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You were playing the jackpots. You just got to hit and move on. You can get hot and let it play, and I've seen that, too, but I've seen more people sit down, win, and then think they can keep winning and lose all that they just won. I'm the type that I'll hit, and if it's a good amount, cash out, go cash out my ticket, put another $100 bill in another slot machine. I'm very superficial where I think that if I put a ticket that shows me winning, they're not going to... These machines are smart. They're not dumb. I was a little bit the same. I think I started out with a couple hundred that I put in the machine, and then there was one time that I lost like $200 or $300 on that, and I was like, all right, well, let me get up and let me just walk around and try my hand at other things. It didn't work out. I came back with another few hundred in there. Then I started hitting. Then it was the same thing. I had a couple small wins, maybe like $100, $200, and I went through that, and I was like, well, shit, I just ran through everything I just won. I had almost cashed out, and I was like, I'm going to call it a day. I was like, nope. I kept going, kept going. I was like, well, fuck. Then I lost it all, or I lost what I won, and then I kind of came back, and I had that other good one, and I was like, all right, cool. Now, anything over $1,000, I'm just going to cash out. You're a little bit hooked. Yeah, I'm about to be a Buffalo guy for life. I'm going to start changing all my Lakers, too. Buffalo Trace, everything. Right, for sure. We just barely started in the Buffaloes ourselves. Pearls went in on those, and we kind of got a hot streak from them. You went to a wedding there. How was it? Was it like ours, the little wedding chapel? No, it was not a wedding chapel. Oh, yeah, he's on base. No, no, he's not on base. He's off base, but they had a spot that was off base. I don't want to say in the hood, but I definitely passed the prison on the way over there. Was there anything worth talking on the podcast? Obviously, you won. That's great, but was it just pretty much business as usual, or did you have a little bit of fun? Unfortunately, it was a bit business as usual. The wedding was a super nice venue, super interesting place. I definitely enjoyed it. A good little Mexican wedding that I hadn't had in a long time, so that was a definite plus, but everything else, that trip was just kind of, yeah. It wasn't a honeymoon with me. No, there was definitely nothing like that. It was just going crazy. It was just a great time. Everybody kind of did their own thing, and because they're so far apart from each other right now, we kind of just let them do their own thing and have their own time together. That's good, man. For those who don't know, me and Pearl, we got married in Vegas 2016, October 3rd. My boss at the time was like, I'm married, Pearl. Oh, really? Boom. Everything's booked. Hotel booked, everything booked. Don't worry about it. I'm like, damn, okay. I tell Pearl, hey, we're getting married. Oh, cool, whatever. We get married. I tell Danny, Danny's like, I got to show up for it. That's why, you know what, Danny, man? I love you to death. When I said, hey, man, I'm going to marry you, he flew down there. I don't know where you were stationed at at the time. I was in Hawaii at the time. You were in Hawaii at the time, so it wasn't like an easy flight or easy boom. He said, I'll be there. It was probably, what, like a month or two short. We only had about a month or two before the plan or whatever. Then we get married. Pearl's not a big drinker, nothing. It was maybe, what, like 11. It was real early. Of course, I wanted to party. It was my first time ever in Vegas. This was before the weed was legal. First thing, I was like, I need to go find some weed. We go out to the strip. That's the best place I can find it. Sure enough, I see some suspicious characters out there. I ask them, hey, I got to get some weed. Whatever, cool. Go behind the alley. Go get that. Now I ain't got nothing to smoke out of. I just got some weed in my pocket. We're walking around on the strip. We started at the MGM. We're walking up the strip. Then we're like, all right, boom, there's a CVS. There's got to be something, even if it's a cigarette pack. I'll fucking roll in a cigarette. What happened then? It was another suspicious character, right? In the back, because they were trying to offer us some other stuff, too. He was like, oh, I got your papers and a lighter. Do you all want to have some fun tonight? Right? All right, well, fuck it, it's my wedding night. What have you all got planned? He wrote us a joint. I was not part of it. Let me just clarify that real quick. You were just there for the ride. I was trying to have some fun. Sure enough, they picked us up in a party bus, right? Had liquor and everything. They took us to... Oh, that's when we went to the Titty Bars. We went to a Titty Bar, yes. I think it was the Cheetahs. No, I think it was the Spear Merino. Maybe. I think it was the Sapphires. Sapphires sounds more familiar. I think that's what it was. They hooked us up with the cover and all that stuff. I think that's what they're supposed to do or whatever. They're like, yeah, we'll pick you up whenever you're ready. Went in there. I wasn't impressed. It was just a normal, regular strip club. Really, not my type of woman anyway. But we had some fun. It was expensive as fuck, though. They catered that. Thank you for that, too. Then, man, we got fucking drunk. Last thing I remember, they picked us up. We went back to the MGM. They gave us a whole bunch of fucking bottles. We were also trying to go to... What was it? Hagason? That's the club up there, right? Oh, yeah. That's the MGM. We tried to go up there. Then, let's take a shot real quick. That's right. We went... The downstairs bar. We're like, let's take a fucking shot. We take a shot. As soon as I take a shot, I throw it up right on my wedding shirt. Then I was like, yeah, I'm done. I walked upstairs. I don't know what you did after that. That was an epic fucking night, man. I appreciate that. It was good. Honeymoon. It was a real quick trip. I think we saw it another day after that. I remember I went to the... Oh, that's right. I didn't go with you. It was a good time. It was a good time. Let me break anybody that goes to Vegas and knows this. Man, because we went to eat at the... Did you go with us to eat? I did not go to the buffet. That's why. I went to the buffet, the fucking... No, the Caesar Palace, which is one of the world-known best buffets ever. It was super expensive. Man, that shit was the best buffet I've ever fucking had. I can't even tell you all the international food they had. Crazy shit. Got super fucking stuffed. Guess what? You're drinking all day. You eat, and then fuck, man. In the party mood tomorrow, I was ready to go to sleep. I didn't sleep very much the night before party shenanigans with you. Fuck, I was just tired, man. You were like, oh, let's go to the fucking... The chain smoker. It was also right there in Caesars. Yeah. I chose to go to sleep, man. That's the first and last time I ever did that shit in Vegas. Now, I don't even go to sleep in Vegas, man. Let me tell you what. I let y'all use y'all's imaginations, but when I'm in Vegas, I have fun in Vegas. I don't like to smoke weed, let me tell you that. I don't like to be super high and shit like that. Anyways, man, that's Vegas. I'm glad that you're here. We're over here waiting for Tony and Paul. We're going to do our football podcast, maybe, hopefully, sometime. Man, is there anything you want to say or ask me or bring up how you feel? I mean, for me, yeah, definitely. I've appreciated you. We had our growing pains growing up. My God, we did, man. I mean, that was just some of those things. We were both hard-headed and we both... Oh, there we go. Stone Loke in the building. Tony in the building. Let me see what shirt you got on. Tokyo Ghoul. Ghoul, sorry. Now, you want a white collar or something, maybe, downstairs? Oh, okay, cool. You want to bring them up here? There's an ice chest or something like that. I can get you set up. Damn, I'm glad you just walked in, too, man. That's funny because we're about to talk about our childhood years, man. I want to bring that up. That's funny you said that, but go ahead. Obviously, we just... Yeah, like I said, growing up, we were hard-headed. We had a respect for each other, but it was just we were in different minds about doing different things and doing different ways about going about it. But, I mean, all that shit, we just stuck together and we've been boys for the better part of 23 years now. I mean, that's the political way of looking at it, but I look at it as you were way more mature for your time, and I wasn't. And I was in my bully state, so I was just ready to just talk shit if you didn't agree with me or just to be honest with myself, is I'm just trying to fit in with the whole Frank and Zell being bullies, and then I couldn't be bullies to them. The only one I could, you know what I'm saying? So it was like, who could I be bullied to? You would be the one, like they bully me, and then I would, you know what I'm saying? So it was like almost like a... It was just a waterfall effect. It was a waterfall effect, yeah. And so I was an asshole and I fucking hate about that, about me when I was younger, but, you know, conflict makes great friendships and because of that, we're stronger. I mean, there's a lot of shit that me and you went through and it was funny. Now that you look back at it, it almost ran me over. And I even told his ass, hey, run me the fuck over. Yeah. So anyways, I got Tony just walking in here. I'm going to set his mic up so he can talk a little bit too while we wait for Paul. That's basically what we're doing right now, waiting for Paul so we can do this damn podcast that we need to do. It's 9.30 right now. So I'm going to go ahead and take a pause break and we'll be back. Well, it doesn't even matter. We just started back in. Back on the mic. We just had our little break. Tony just came in, brought some white cloths. We were pretty much just talking about life and how his life in Germany is. How our married life is. How, I mean, just everything, man. And we're kind of again here waiting for Paul to get here. So I wanted to get some content that people can enjoy besides the sports stuff because maybe we can do some other ventures and so, yeah, that's what we're here right now. Just kind of killing time. Tony, is there something that you want to ask Danny while he's here? I know you haven't seen him in a while. When's the last time you've seen Danny? Last time we played golf. Me? Yeah. I'm pretty sure you're going to have the same question about last time. Lost my phone? About the aliens. Oh, okay. We played back in May, my last time. Or late April, early May. Okay. Yeah, yeah. We played at Bassey, right? Or almost? No, it was at the quarry. The quarry. You lost your phone. Yep. Did you ever find it? They gave it back to me. After I paid for a new one. I've lost so many things at the golf course and it always comes back. They always find it for me. If you're trying to get rid of a dog or something, don't do that. Don't do that at the golf course. I was about to say. He was about to have me go down the hole on the damn dog. What? What do you mean? As a new puppy parent, it was just funny. You were saying about just getting rid of a dog or just trying to lose it. It makes me feel a different type of way. It was specifically because of my sister and my nephew. They've been going through pets for so many years. It just never really... Were they dropping off dogs at the farm? Yeah, whatever they needed to. Now, as a pet owner, I'm like, I don't know how you could do that. Obviously, you paid some money for years. What's your gift? I have an English and American Bulldog mix. Yes. Picture. I have... I'm not a big picture taker, but I do have a few. You're going to have to talk more into them. Into your microphone. Oh, I do like that. This is a potato. That's a name? Potato. I can dig it. Goddamn. I get it. There's just some dogs, man. It shouldn't be. If you're bringing a dog... I guess it might be a little bit of a difference, too, because I had a very big time trying to figure out... I honestly... I thought I had a bunch of commitment issues, which I actually might still. It was just one of those things that... That's your ride or die? I'm not going to say that just yet because I'm still feeling them out. I've only had them for about... You just said it. You can't pick yourself dropping them off, but I feel like that just as a pet in general now. I think just from a humanity standpoint. Right. Yes, because there is more of a vested interest. I'm more spiritual now, and I feel like pets do have feelings. I wouldn't not actually do that. That was actually a joke. Ha ha, kidding. I think you were giving an example. Yeah. If you lose something at the golf course, don't let it be a dog because they'll bring it right back. I mean, if they're letting dogs at the golf course, we've got another question about dogs at the golf course. No, it's just funny that you just happened to mention that. If you leave your wife at a dog... I mean, at a dog park. At a dog park. Hey, don't leave your wife at a dog park. Hell no. A lot of good men take their dogs to the dog park. Don't leave your wife there. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. I guess what I was saying is I've lost my phone. I've lost my wallet. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. I've lost my phone. Don't bring anyone back. It's a black phone with a big screen. Oh, it is. There you go. There you go. That's a good way to look at it too. But yeah, so we went to what was it called? What was the place we went to? The quarry. That's a really good spot. Yeah, it was us three and Richard. Oh yeah, that's right. He was working with us trying to learn how to... Yeah, that was expensive first. Beginner. He played good at that course by your house though. I mean by your work. Yeah, he did. He was hitting them straight at the quarry though? No. I had a bad outing at the quarry. That's why I'm interested to play this time around because I feel like everybody's been golfing at least 10 years now. Well, if your cousin doesn't go, we have... I'm going to work. The reason for me is I finally invested some money, of my own money, into some golf clubs. I actually had them fitted. I have custom clubs now. Brand. Nice. Cobra Speedways. I've been in love with Cobras since I've seen them. They're nice. Don't let me be behind you golfing because I will not return it. You ain't going to fit them. You're too tall. There's a one inch shorter. What? I just got to bend down a little bit, man. Yeah, figure out how that's going to work with your golf swing. I'll figure it out. All of my golf clubs have been hammered down. The one, actually except for one, I had a $500 driver. He left it in somebody's car and it went to Houston. Yes. And I went all the way over there to get it. I mean, yeah, it's $500. $500, might as well. If you want, the older clubs I got, I could save us an empty. I ended up breaking that one. What was that blue one called? The Sim 2? Yeah, the Sim, the nice one. Into the microphone. The Sim 2, I ended up breaking it. So, I'm not good with expensive stuff. I'm good with the hand-me-downs, the ones that people leave in the course. So, it's a gentleman's game for everybody else but you. Don't let them be behind you. Don't let them be in front of you. If they ask for it, they will receive it. The one club that I lose the most is those gold ones that I have. People are always like, do y'all own a gold club? I'm like, let's do it again, motherfucker. Yeah, yeah, you can get away from that one. You still have those? Yes, sir. Nice, nice. Some Tony Montana shit. Mm-hmm. So, want to make a bet? Who calls first? Nobody's calling me. Cool, cool. Well, this is cool. What's up with the Tecates, man? You said, hey, you want a 12-pack of Tecates? Can you not get those over there? I cannot get them but Tecate always has a special place in my heart. Granted, they're not right now but a good canned dressed Tecate is just something about it. Okay, so we'll go back in time again. What did I used to drink when I was in high school? Fucking Smirnoff. This motherfucker would have a pack of Smirnoff, like Green Apple or some shit. Yeah, I know, but going to a fucking party, he was like, I'm not drinking beer anymore, I'm a little Smirnoff. How would someone buy them for you? I would get either, actually, I feel like it was your sister that might have been getting them for me like that too. You gotta ask, what do you want when they went to the store? That's one thing I will return, if I saw a Smirnoff, I would return it to them. I was thinking about it, just to drive up over here, we used to have so many nights over here and so many things between Priscilla and Matilda and Edward and everybody over here. It was just like, yeah, we would have this stuff. I remember specifically, Priscilla would come back and be like, here Danny, we got you Smirnoff and the Green Apple Jolly Ranchers too sometimes. Like, yo. That shit would make me throw up, nevermind. Everything made me throw up back in the days, nevermind. It was just one of those things. Granted, we did get into the liquor. I got into Smirnoffs and liquor before I got into beer. I just didn't like the taste of it. And then there was one time, I don't remember where it was or what I was doing, it had just been a long, I don't know if I was even in the service or not, I was hanging out with Tank somewhere, like an uncle or some random spot and they had Tecate dressed like the whole night and I was like, I drank it and I was like, y'all fuck with this shit. And so, after that, it is one of those things that yeah, I do enjoy it. We cannot get that in Germany. There's actually a lot of beers we can get over there but they have a lot of good beers that we can't get here. So, it's a fair trade-off. Yeah. Name one. Name one that you like over there that you can't get here. Chimay. They got their beer capital in the fucking world. Germany is going to be very good but Belgian beers are fucking delicious. Do they have seltzers over there? Everybody has seltzers. Seltzers they do. Is that the thing over there like it is over here? No, it's not. So, when I think about it, no, they really don't have. They do and they don't. Like Trulies and White Claws and all this shit, you get them on base, you're not going to typically find them. You're not going to find them on the economy out there. I can't be there. What do you know about Rattlers? What do you know about Rattlers? So, Rattlers are like, think of like a beer with lemonade in it. I know what it sounds like but it's actually pretty fucking good. So, that's going to be like the equivalent of what they have for seltzer. So, like a Spiked Lemonade? Yeah. But as I'm saying, it's beer. Do y'all remember that fucking Not Your Father's Root Beer shit? That shit was fucking good but you drink one, you're fucked. Two was the most you could drink. Yeah, but just one got you fucked up. What about those Red Apples? That was the same shit. It was Apple Beer before the ciders. I know what you're talking about. I just never had one. I think I know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, the Red Apples. I like all that shit. I like Apple Soda. I like Red Apple, right? That's what it's called, Red Apple. I had me some of those. I ain't going to lie. Something like when you have a hard day at work and you have to come out and open up the hard seltzer. Hard day work. I don't drink it in public. I don't want people looking at me in a certain way. I give zero fucks about how people look at me. The first time I had seltzers was just like this past summer. The first time I'd ever had a seltzer. I don't understand why people think seltzers are weak. I'm not saying no. Seltzers to me are the best of both worlds. They have more alcohol content than your Tecate's do. That's my main thing. That's the whole fuckin' argument I had about Smirnoff Ice's bag in high school. No, no, no, no, no. In the flavor. No, no, no, no. I'll tell you. First of all, it wasn't gluten-free back then. Actually, it had a lot of sugar. Smirnoff had a lot of sugar. You think gluten-free? Nobody was worried about gluten back in high school. Yeah, I know. I'm trying to argue the White Claws case. You're trying to make a case for why I was ahead of my time. No, but you're right. The only thing you can bring up is it did have more alcohol. You're right, it did. The reason why I like White Claws, like he was saying, is that it hydrates you while you're drinking so you don't ever really get super fucked up. Oh shit, it is gluten-free. I never wake up with a hangover ever with White Claws. What the fuck? I feel like dog shit in the morning. You do? Dude, I can open one right in the morning, man. Matter of fact, let me get another one. Let me get one of these Tecate. Let me drink Tecate with Danny because this is a special occasion. Again, he maybe comes here once every two years and we're lucky to get him twice in one year. I'm not drinking that with you. I still cheers you. Well, they can't see the video so they don't know if I'm drinking. That's true. Don't drink it. I don't know. Do you want it? We still got fucking eight more in the fridge. I bought an 18-pack of Claws. I want you to say that I want it. I want you to want it. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me. I want you to want me.
