Family, Farewells, And Finding Our Way

A funeral can snap everything into focus. We sat with family for four days of rosary, food, and old photos, and one unexpected picture of our grandparents hit like a time machine. That single moment turned grief into a commitment: stop waiting for loss to gather. Plan the reunion. Show up while everyone’s still here.

We map out what that looks like—simple, human, doable. A summer date, barbecue smoke in the air, a ballgame where the older knees coach and ump instead of sprint. Kids finally meet cousins. Stories move from whispers at the cemetery to laughs in the park. Along the way, we peel back the layers of our own path: dreams that collided with low confidence and early paychecks, the parenting stress of raising boys who are always “broke,” and the stubborn pride of working through tight budgets. This is the messy middle of family life, told straight.

There’s plenty of comic relief too. Disneyland lines tested our patience and inspired one of the most practical hacks you’ll ever hear: Depends in the queue. We weigh the pros and cons with brutal honesty—absorbency, wipes, baby powder, dignity, and the art of not losing your spot when nature calls. Then we jump into 80s nostalgia: Masters of the Universe hype, the new He-Man trailer, eBay treasure hunts, and why certain toys can pull brothers back into the same conversation after years apart. It’s grief and joy, memory and momentum, all braided together.

If this hits home, share it with your cousin you’ve been meaning to text. Subscribe, leave a review to help more folks find the show, and tell us: what’s one small step you’re taking to bring your people together this summer?

Thee Gooch: 3:23

Yeah, I apologize to our cousin.

Joe: 3:25

Oh, you did?

Thee Gooch: 3:26

I apologize to her for not going. You know, considering you know it's winter and although it's not snowing where I'm at right now, right, right. You know, but it's the but it's the mountains around us and this and the cities outside of where I'm at where I am, is where it snows, you know. Yeah, yeah. And I think drivers and shit. Yeah, it's dangerous too, the black ice and shit.

Joe: 3:49

Yeah, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 3:50

But um I said black ice, not black guys. Okay.

Joe: 3:57

I was gonna tell you that I was gonna say you said black guys, yeah, but but yeah, it's kind of dangerous when you drive in under weather conditions like that, right? Yeah, you know, because it's still winter, technically, right?

Thee Gooch: 4:10

Yeah, and it's the wind and the ice and the blowing snow, it just makes conditions you know bad, you know, to drive in. Yeah, but I apologize to our cousin, which her her father passed away, and I sent out my condolences. And sounds like you guys had a blast, you know, considering it was a funeral.

Joe: 4:29

Yeah, well, yeah, there's uh the um, you know, they get together, the reunion and all that stuff, and all that, you know. It was not that that we had fun, it's just that it's finally we get together, you know. So all the manna's and you know, we finally got together. Not only in the manna's, there was um The Maria's side of the family, they all got together and stuff. Even Jimmy Reyes, Jimmy Reyes was like there too. So they're part of the family too, you know.

Thee Gooch: 4:57

Right.

Joe: 4:58

So and uh Melissa, Carlos, everybody. Benny was there, you know. Yeah, you know, just uh Benny was there too, and my Mafufo didn't go. Oh, he didn't? Sister, yeah, his sister went, and uh and her nephew and her sis went. So they were all there, dude. We're just getting getting together with everybody and all that stuff. So yeah, it's uh it was uh it was good. I enjoyed it and I had fun. You know, not really it's that fun.

Thee Gooch: 5:29

It's kind of it's kind of sad that that's how the reunions are being a funeral, you know.

Joe: 5:35

Yeah, that's like yeah, that's what like we I mean our primo Carlos, he won the oldest son, or the oldest, right? Yeah, he he wants to get together and and hang out with the Mena's, you know, to play baseball or have a barbecue, you know. But we go, Are you sure? Because you guys have been saying this since you know, way back when grandpa passed away. Yeah, and we never do it, you know. It's always when we go to the funeral and all that stuff when we see each other and all that stuff, you know.

Thee Gooch: 6:06

They should plan it. They're like the older cousins, but they're planning it, they are planning it.

Joe: 6:10

But my question is that when I told them, we go, Are you sure, dude? Because we'll you we all been saying this, and it doesn't take place, you know.

Thee Gooch: 6:17

I think the older cousins, the older cousins need to plan it, yeah. Because all of our parents are with the exception of uh Benny's mom, you know. God forbid she passes away, you know. But she's the last one, so I think now the I think the oldest cousins, like you, and Carlos, Diane, Ahande, and you know, you guys need to plan that shit. Yeah, you guys are the old parts of the of the family now.

Joe: 6:44

Yeah, I know.

Thee Gooch: 6:45

But um, dude, you know?

Joe: 6:52

Yeah, like every summer we should do it, like uh go play baseball, have a barbecue in a party.

Thee Gooch: 6:58

I don't know about that baseball. I'm ready for I'm gonna be 50. I'm gonna be 50 in July. I don't know about running around for that. If I get hurt, you know, I can't work. You know what I mean? That's true. I'll I'll be the umpire. How's that?

Joe: 7:12

I mean that sounds uh that sounds like a good idea.

Thee Gooch: 7:15

Yeah, I'll I'll just dress all in black and black hat and I'll be the umpire. Yeah, because my knees are shot, dude. My knees are fucking shot. You remember how dad could be a first base coach or something, you know? Oh, I could be a coach, yeah. I could holler at you guys, you know. Yeah, that's you know I'm up to I'm up to play, dude. I want to play baseball. I haven't played for a long time, even though I gained weight, but oh wow. I think it I think it's more than gained weight, you know what I'm saying?

Joe: 7:42

Yeah, well, that's what they're that's what uh Benny was saying. So they're planning to do another reunion. I don't know when, but we'll see what happens.

Thee Gooch: 7:53

I think it should be. See, see, I should have been the older cousin because I'm already thinking. Right, yeah, it should be like in the summertime, like this summer. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, like in June or July, right? I'll bring the balls and the bat, you know what I'm saying? It'd be fun, dude. Take all the boys, you know, take the boys, and they could meet every because the boys never met the mena side of the family, dude.

Joe: 8:18

Yeah, that's true.

Thee Gooch: 8:19

You know, my oldest, you know, Draven.

Joe: 8:22

But I told them they go, you know, just you know, whenever you guys are ready, dude, because you guys have been saying this for quite a while since grandpa passed away, and and we we hardly don't do it. And grandpa passed away, what, 20 years already? Mm-hmm. Like I think it was '94 or no. Was it '94? I think it was '94 around there.

Thee Gooch: 8:43

You know? Yeah.

Joe: 8:44

And uh we've been waiting and waiting, and you know, finally what it I mean. We did the reunion, you know.

Thee Gooch: 8:52

I just don't want to go there based on funerals, dude. You know, because as it is, it's sad. We're supposed to be happy when we see each other.

Joe: 8:59

Yeah, true.

Thee Gooch: 9:00

And you know, at Uncle Carlos's age, just like dad and and our other uncles have passed away, they lived a good life, dude. You know, we gotta celebrate their life instead of mourning them, you know.

Joe: 9:10

You know, yeah, that's true, yeah. You know, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 9:14

Because like Uncle Carlos, he's he's seen his grand his grandkids and uh possibly great grandkids, you know.

Joe: 9:21

Yeah, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 9:22

You know, he's he's he was a successful person, one of the successful menas, dude. Okay, you know, I just hope they're celebrating his life instead of just mourning him, you know. Yeah, it's sad, it's a loss, don't get me wrong, but he he he he he achieved a lot, you know.

Joe: 9:37

The food was great. Um the plate uh what they gave us, it was biria and pollo. And um and it has uh his favorites, his favorite um bakery bread bread, um pan was um conchas. Conchas yeah, conchas is my favorite too.

Thee Gooch: 9:54

That was dad's favorite too, right? Yeah, it was dad's favorite.

Speaker 2: 9:56

I think it's all Mexicans' favorite.

Joe: 9:58

Yeah, yeah. But uh yeah, dad dad loved uh the conchas too. So I think it it runs in the blood, so I don't know.

Thee Gooch: 10:06

Because there was a lady out here that sells those breads out here, dude. Uh no, she made them rich, she made them in her house, and they were really good.

Joe: 10:13

Oh, really?

Thee Gooch: 10:14

Yeah, they're kind of expensive out here, but they're worth it.

Joe: 10:20

Yeah, so yeah, yeah, we're thinking about doing that. So okay, I'm up for it, dude. But I think we should push for it, dude.

Thee Gooch: 10:27

Let's push for it. You're the oldest, so you have somewhat you're like the tenth oldest, but you still counts.

Joe: 10:34

Right? Yeah. Maybe like the baby oldest or something like that. I don't know. Yeah. I'm still the baby. Yeah, you're the baby, yeah. But I but yeah, dude, it's just yeah, we it was it was real emotional, dude, because we're doing that church, you know, the rosary and all that stuff. All of them and they had the pictures of him and where you they were younger, and you know, plus his recent pictures of the present and all that stuff. They put the pictures of dad, all the family, like when they were kids.

Thee Gooch: 11:05

I seen a picture yesterday, unintentionally, okay, because uh cousin D sent me pictures of the funeral, she wasn't feeling well, she said.

Joe: 11:14

Yeah, she kind of she kind of looked, she looked, she looked kind of like she was sick.

Thee Gooch: 11:19

Yeah, she didn't take very many pictures, so she sent me what she could, and there was a picture of our sis and her her son, our nephew, and right behind them there was a picture of our grandma and grandpa with the kids. I had never seen I have never seen that fucking picture in my life, dude. I just burst.

Joe: 11:37

I was like fucking I was on I was it was on Thursday when we went to the rosary, and uh Bertie saw that picture. I go, Hey, you know what? I told cousin D to send me that picture to uh text it to me.

Thee Gooch: 11:48

Nobody sends me anything, even even you, even me, you don't you nobody sends me nothing. It's like I'm like a thousand miles away, you know. And it's like fuck fuck fuck the gooch, fuck him.

Joe: 12:02

No, that's not true. That's not true, dude. Hey now, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 12:07

But anyways, I saw that picture, dude. I was like, fuck, I was blown. I almost cried, dude, because it was emotional because it's co-course when dad was, you know, he looked like to be what eight or nine years old.

Joe: 12:17

Yeah, yeah. He was like probably like seven years old at the time, right? Yeah, he looked uh kind of young. Even Chala was there.

Thee Gooch: 12:24

Yeah, because even his mom, our grandma, passed away when he was nine, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'd never seen the picture like that of them all together like that, especially with grandma, dude.

Joe: 12:35

Yeah, grandma and and grandpa grandma looked like Tio Carlos, yeah, you know, a lot, and um, and then I was looking at um Nina on the younger age. I got I told uh told Benny, dude, that looks like you in the picture, dude. Yeah you know, all you need is a wig. But um, yeah, so it was that one got me emotional because uh my dad, everybody just gone, and and then Nina's just the only left, uh the only survivor right now.

Thee Gooch: 13:11

You know, yeah, she's the last one. That's what I'm saying. You guys as the older cousins, you guys are the last. You guys are up next. You know. Let's do it, dude. This I'm gonna talk to cousin D and get her motivated to do it.

Joe: 13:26

Yeah, dude. It was it was a real emotional week, you know. Uh here and there, yeah. You know. Because uh he's be he's buried right there next to dad, is that is he in the mausoleum? No, he's buried in the ground. I guess he had he had already bought the the property for since a long time ago. So it's real convenient because Zach could probably go visit him, Chela, and dad. Just right there, dude. Zach could just go right next to it, you know.

Thee Gooch: 14:03

Yeah, it's kinda it's kind of sort of the family cemetery in East Los Angeles. Yeah, yeah, it is. And and for those that don't know, it's I think it's Whittier and what Dittman? Rowan Eastern?

Joe: 14:14

Eastern, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 14:17

And directly across the street from that family cemetery, the Calvary Cemetery, directly across the street is where uh Curly from the Three Stooges is buried.

Joe: 14:24

Yeah, Curly and who else? Shemp, right? Shemp, yeah, Shemp is buried there too.

Thee Gooch: 14:32

Um because back then the East Los Angeles used to be uh you know ran by Jewish people.

Joe: 14:38

Yeah, yeah, that's what I was heard. Mom told me back in the day, way back in the day. I think the owner oh no, the Jim's, the owners from Jim's, I think they're Greek. Back then. And Russians, right? Russians. Is it Greek as no Greek is uh Italian, isn't it? I have no clue. Yeah, they were run uh there were owners, the owners were run by Greek. That's why I was like every time I buy those burritos, they didn't taste like the way they taste now, like oh carne salad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They used to they used to cook it with uh with meat. What was the meat? It was meat, but it was not cooked the way it met the Mexican style is. These uh Greek peak uh people cook it with uh like cheese and everything, we don't use or anything, it was just pure cheese, beans, and rice, and that was in. It was good, it was good back then. I used to always like I used to tell dad, dad, give me a burrito, give me a burrito. Yeah, we're good, but they changed after the fact. Uh, I think the owner passed away at the time.

Thee Gooch: 15:39

There's a Mexican spot out here where I'm at, and I enjoy their food. I just have to tell who puts fucking sour cream in their fucking burritos, dude. I don't fuck that.

Joe: 15:48

That's only for tacos.

Thee Gooch: 15:50

Yeah, hard shell tacos for sure. But street tacos, no. No, I have to tell them, then they make fun of me, you know. You can see that they make fun of me. No, no, no. I I tell I have to tell them in Spanish, no cream, no, no sour cream or whatever it is you guys put in that shit. What is it?

Joe: 16:05

Whatever you live at, or what?

Thee Gooch: 16:06

Yeah, over here where I'm at. Oh shit.

Speaker 2: 16:11

Like you know, when you order a torta, they put sour cream in that shit too. Like it's like really sweet sour cream, too. Yeah, yeah. I have to tell them, don't put that shit. Like it's disgusting.

Thee Gooch: 16:23

Yeah, I mean, it was a really emotional day, dude. I mean, a a week, four days, you know. You know, and and I think we should have a big huge family reunion, dude. Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean, we just if I die tomorrow, nobody's gonna come see me. Yeah, they will. No, you won't. Just no, you won't. Yes, I won't. It's snowing, dude. You you ain't driving up here or flying.

Joe: 16:48

No, how dare you? I mean, I mean, if it was me, no one would come and see me. I'm not fucking going. No one won't fucking visit me or all that. It's just fucking snowing over there in point. It's snowing over there in the middle of summer. It's snowing. Just cremate him and give me a baggie of his ashes. Be good with that. You want to be cremated, right? Yeah, I want to be cremated.

Thee Gooch: 17:13

Yeah, me too.

Joe: 17:14

Yeah, no, I want my ashes to stink in front of you guys.

Thee Gooch: 17:21

Use your ashes and put them in an ashtray or what?

Joe: 17:24

Yeah, ashtray.

Thee Gooch: 17:25

Ashtray. Yeah, your ashtray. Oh my gosh.

Joe: 17:30

What up, yeah, dude. Um, yeah, we should everybody was just getting together explaining, I mean uh talking about the the way he he was and all that stuff. I was telling uh primo Carlos that he used to build model planes, like huge planes, because he was from the army, you know?

Thee Gooch: 17:49

Yeah, yeah.

Joe: 17:50

He was in the army, and they they and the the good thing is that um they put an American flag, they saluted him because they put an American flag on his casket.

Thee Gooch: 17:59

I was gonna ask you, did they give him the the military salutes?

Joe: 18:02

Well, they didn't they give him the military salute, but they didn't give him the the gun salute because he didn't fight war. It was was only Uncle Tito. When you're when you're a a World War War veteran, they give you a gun salute. You know, so that's what they did to Uncle Tito.

Thee Gooch: 18:20

Yeah, yeah.

Joe: 18:20

But Uncle Carlos, uh he was just uh from the army, they just give him salute.

Thee Gooch: 18:25

I think he missed he missed Vietnam, right? That was before.

Joe: 18:29

Yeah, that was I think it was at the something was after, I think. It was after. No, no, he was before because he was he was the the first oldest. It was the he was first the one of the old first oldest, so I think he missed it. Yeah, he missed it.

Thee Gooch: 18:44

And my dad didn't, our dad didn't hit he didn't, they didn't want him to join the the service, right? Because he was the baby of the family. Yeah, he was the only child, the baby, the baby boy, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But uh I remember him telling us that he they didn't want him because he was flat foot.

Joe: 19:01

Yeah, he I guess he was embarrassed about that because you know he didn't want to be known as the baby, the baby. So he thought it, you know. I was like, I was telling the guys, you know, you know what? I always wanted to be a marine, but my my confidence went low. My confidence at the time was low, and I was like short and all that stuff, and that was bringing me that because I always wanted to be a police officer, a cop. Imagine you're a cop, dude.

Thee Gooch: 19:26

Everything miniature, you had a miniature gun, miniature pants, miniature pants, miniature badge, a miniature fucking belt, buckle. Yeah, I always wanted to be a marine too, dude. I just did too much stupid shit growing up, yeah.

Joe: 19:46

And you know, imagine it was just you gotta take a test and you have to be uh devoted to it. And I guess I I guess I didn't pass the test or so, but I guess I was done for it, but but then my and my confidence was low because uh I was short and that's what I was thinking because there was a lot of things I wanted to be. I wanted to be besides being on radio, I wanted to or a rock and roll star like Elvis and stuff.

Thee Gooch: 20:10

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Joe: 20:12

If nothing didn't nothing didn't come through, nothing went through with me. So so I didn't know what to fucking be when I was wanted to grow up, dude. So I wanted to be a cop, I wanted to be a radio disc jockey, I wanted to be a police officer and a marine and all that, blah, blah, blah. But my confidence was really low.

Thee Gooch: 20:33

So I wanted to be a doctor. A doctor?

Joe: 20:37

Yeah, and and then and speaking of which, I always wanted to be a psychologist too, and a journalist, too. I wanted to be a journalist. Kickback, Clark Kent. Yeah, because I was into uh Clark the Superman, that's why I wanted to be a journalist. Journalist, I'm in. So I wanted to be all some shit like that. And an artist, because I knew how to drink I know how to draw and paint and stuff. I want to do all that stuff. But like I said, uh, we didn't have strong ambitions, you know, so we're not like up there like, oh, I want to fucking do it, I wanna do it. But it was just the laziness that we had.

Thee Gooch: 21:11

It's what it was for me in my experience growing up, you know, wanting to be a doctor, you know. It's just we didn't, we didn't we we we didn't grow up wealthy. We had parents that were were always broke, yeah, yeah, you know, so we had to work.

Joe: 21:28

Yeah, we have to have our their own budget, you know.

Thee Gooch: 21:31

Yeah. So we had to work. You know, I mean, I had to work at 15. You know, mom gave me that choice, whether you go to school or you gotta fucking work, but you're not gonna stay home and bum around. Yeah, that's what dad told me, too. You know, you're not gonna eat you're you're turning 18 years old, I'm not gonna buy you anything. You just all you do is just eat and shle all you do is eat shit and sleep like a cat. Just want me to feed you. Yeah. It gets frustrating, dude. Yeah, I can imagine, you know? Right.

Speaker 2: 22:03

It gets frustrating when you have kids that are that age.

Joe: 22:06

Yeah, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 22:07

You know, that's true, man. Fuck. It's like with me, dude, with these boys, you know. You know, you just have four best friends that are always fucking broke, you know. That's the only way you can that's the only way you can explain it.

Joe: 22:24

Yeah, no shit. You know, I mean, I mean, I don't know, man. I was just uh and then I wanted to be a baseball player. That grabbed me down too because I was short, because most of them motherfuckers are like 6'4, 6'5. Well, Mookie best shortest fucking short. The shortest one is 5'10, dude. You know, you're not gonna see a 5'4 baseball player. That's we I mean you can be a bad I mean you can it'd be a bat boy, you know, maybe, but you know, because I always wanted to, I would I wouldn't mean in high school, go, you don't want to be a baseball player, but every motherfucker was fucking tall, like 6'4, 6'5, you know, and other was like 5'11, yeah. 5'11, 5'10, yes, you know, but five fucking three, five four, that's too short.

Thee Gooch: 23:15

Yeah, that's too short.

Joe: 23:16

But I sure could hit a ball, let me tell you one thing.

Thee Gooch: 23:18

Yeah, you know, but hey, did uh did uh Benny's sisters go to the funeral?

Thee Gooch and Joe: 23:26

Yeah, they all went so except for Vanessa. Well, call her V. No, call her Chancluda. Chancluda. I've been calling her that since she was a baby. Sangrona went, Sangrona went, sexy pants' sister. Oh, she did, yeah. She went over there and sexy pants, Chico Checks, Donya, B went, and and Benny sisters, Benny Sisters went. So it was a good, I mean, we it was a long time waiting. Get to see you know, because sometimes we don't uh get together. They don't say what's going on, what's hiding, um, you know, if they're sick or not, you know, things like that.

Thee Gooch: 24:11

Yeah, I think that I think they should do a family. See, if like if I plan it, nobody's gonna show up.

Joe: 24:16

Yeah, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 24:17

You know what I'm saying? Like, who's this fucking loser?

Joe: 24:20

Because like whoever plans it's like they say when you plan something good, it come out the way you planned it to be, you know, things like that.

Thee Gooch: 24:27

So I'd rather the older cousins be responsible for that.

Joe: 24:30

Yeah, because if a kid's fucked up and then you gotta respond, get responsible and that shit.

Thee Gooch: 24:34

Yeah. So just know I'll be there for sure. I'll be there. Yeah. Family room shit, help me in. Yeah. Yeah.

Joe: 24:46

I mean, that's uh that's the way it is. I guess that's life, dude. I mean, yeah, it was real emotional, you know.

Thee Gooch: 24:51

Yeah, it's just sad that we have to have reunions like that, you know, a funeral, you know. Yeah, yeah. We get to see everybody. Just like my mother.

Joe: 25:00

Everybody was everybody was amazing. They all look amazing and all that stuff. I mean, good health to them, you know, things like that. You know. That's uh always worried about them, see how they're doing and all that.

Joe: 25:48

But uh, no, I was gonna tell you that um I tell you that I went to Disneyland last two weeks ago.

Thee Gooch: 25:53

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Joe: 25:55

And um they had a good time too. We went with my foofo and his sister, and sis didn't go, you know. And um, yeah, it was uh it was a great fun. I got pictures of you if you want to see him. You know, you know, it's just gonna be m me. Okay, so pictures of me.

Thee Gooch: 26:12

You picture of you waddle waddling around.

Joe: 26:17

There's me in the castle. Look, that's what before my I cut my hair, so my hair was long right there. So yeah, there's the the magic castle right there, and the car's ride.

Thee Gooch: 26:31

And it's really that's uh that's California Adventure, right?

Thee Gooch and Joe: 26:34

Yeah, yeah. And the car's ride is a real awesome, it's a real good fucking ride. You know, it goes fast and shit, it's like a speeding racing race car. You didn't you didn't record anything on that? Nah, I really I really don't. I mean, I I really didn't have time, dude. You know, so I mean I did, but I mean I'm not like those uh I I I'm not like those uh inflowers influencers out there, you know. You go, you know, you start recording and you know the cards on is ride? Yeah, it's the cards, right? The cards right. That's a good ride, dude. I like that ride. Does it go for that? I don't know how they do it, dude. Uh the influencers, I give them credit for all that shit, but you know, it's a it's a real hard process to do that, you know, recording and all that explaining, you know, shit like that. I give them a lot of credit for that because that that shit's hard, dude. I mean, being besides being in the podcast and all that stuff, you know, it's kind of hard, you know, you know, talking to yourself and recording what's going on in Disneyland and all that stuff. I was trying to do it. I even took my little microphones, but I go, you know, you get that embarrassed, you get you get embarrassed and all that stuff because people watch, huh?

Thee Gooch: 27:39

People are watching.

Joe: 27:40

Yeah, people look and they're gonna think you're fucking crazy and things like that.

Thee Gooch: 27:43

But yeah, see if I didn't know you and I saw you recording, look at this idiot.

Thee Gooch and Joe: 27:50

Yeah, but um soon enough I will be doing that. Was that the only pictures you got? No, I got more right here. We're here. This is uh Space Mountain when me and my Fufo went. We were fucked, dude. Well, we're we're running because we're at California Adventures. We had that fast pass. So my Fufu, he uh made an appointment for it. You because you can make an appointment or something like the red. Uh, how do you call it that shit? Um reserve, reserve it, and then we it we had into like seven, no, five, I think it was six thirty. So me and D, Remo's daughter, we went from California Adventures. These guys, D and um Ma Fufo were running, and they left me. Oh fuck, what the fuck? Where are they? I said, Well, I was just fucking running, like you know, I was about to have a fucking heart attack, dude. To be honest, yeah. But like I was like fucking running to the whole Disneyland, dude, to go to that fucking uh Space Mountain. So we finally made it and we enjoyed it from right there. Yeah, there's more of Space Mountain right here. And this is the the Canantina, dude, from um Star Wars uh Galaxy Edge. By April, they're gonna change it to Star Wars, Star Wars Land. No shit. So it's not gonna be Galaxy Edge anymore. So it's gonna be Star Wars Lands by I think by April. So and uh look at the drinks right here. That's my little drink right here, that jet juice. It's look pretty good, dude. I don't know what's alcohol, it's alcohol, yeah. But it didn't hit me, it didn't hit me hard. It was it's I think it was tequila mixed with pomegranate juice and all that shit.

Thee Gooch: 29:32

No shit.

Joe: 29:33

Yeah, and this one is beer, you know the one right here? That's my Mafofo's beer right there. That one was good. It tastes like uh like champagne mixed with beer and some shit like that. Yeah, it's pretty good. And um here's the rest. Oh, that's the same one, huh? And there's uh there's a castle over here. That's uh that used to be splash splash mountain, so they call it uh what's her name. I forgot the name of it. It's all the same thing. Talia's ride or something like that. I forgot. Who the fuck's Talia? I don't even know. You know. So this is the view when we we barely came in in the morning, you know. It's pretty good, dude. This is the spl the supposedly splash mountain, Talia's ride.

Thee Gooch: 30:29

And it's still the same thing, right?

Joe: 30:30

You get on the same thing, they yeah, it's the same thing, they just changed the whole scenery, the characters, and all that stuff. You know, and you know, I told you about that car ride, right? We went, me and Mafo fo, and B and D, and uh and B and B's uh nephew, I mean B's son. We're waiting in a line, dude. It was a fucking long waiting line, right? This is what I think that it I think I'm not the only one, Gooch. Okay, I think I'm not the really only one that wears the depens because I only wear depens on that moment. Okay, not every day I don't wear them, you know. You know, I don't wear depens all day. It's just just that particular day, that particular time we went. So I pretty I just wore them just in case this is an emergency or some shit like that would happen, you know. So me and Ma fofoo B and D and B's son, we all went and Mafofoo was in a line. So we're we're ready on the fucking middle. We it was it was a it was a long fucking line on the cars right. So my fufo was like, oh shit, I can't, I can't, I can't hold it anymore. I gotta fuck. He was all dancing around, dude. Like, you know, and I'm just here all calm to go, what happened? Oh, I gotta take a fucking piss. Fuck. So he went all the way down to you know to go to a restroom, you know, cutting in people, you know, and then coming back up, cutting people, you know, oh yeah, and he finished taking a piss. So we're already almost to the right already, right? And you know, dude, you know what? I got the I'm wearing I told him I got depens on, I'm wearing the pants right now, dude. He told me, You serious? I go, Yeah, why? Some shit like this is gonna happen, dude. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that wears the pants just for that moment to go to Disneyland because you're gonna be in a fucking line like this, and so yeah, because uh I think the cars ride's the only ride that you can't go through a fast pass.

Thee Gooch: 32:26

You know, and I mean it's a freakish, but at the same time a good idea to wear the pins when you're you know, it's like a you know what I mean, like it's smart, but then disgusting at the same time, you know what I'm saying?

Joe: 32:40

I mean, dude, I mean it's like you rather piss in your shorts, or you'd rather have piss in your depends. I mean, you can't take you can't.

Thee Gooch: 32:48

I mean, it's not disgusting, don't get me wrong.

Joe: 32:50

It's not I didn't mean to say disgusting, but it felt disgusting. I mean it's not disgusting because it will feel disgusting if you pee in your pants because your pants are wet, your chonies are wet, and all that stuff, right? Okay, I have fucking questions, dude.

Thee Gooch: 33:04

Okay. Do you wear do you wear your underwear on top of the depends or no?

Joe: 33:13

I put the depens on and then I put the under over them. Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't fucking do it like that. That's like uh Superman style. Are you loud when you're walking?

Thee Gooch: 33:23

No, I'm just like I was just like waiting, like I mean But when you're walking around, when you're walking around wearing the depends, it's not loud, you can't hear it.

Joe: 33:32

Oh like yeah, no, no, well, yeah, you could if it if it was in uh if you're in a like in a silent room by yourself and all that stuff, or you you probably can, but there's a lot of people, I don't think that will hear it, you know. But yeah, so so yeah, like he was waiting, he Mafofoo went down, he came back, and now he went back again. He said, Oh man, you go, What happened now? I gotta take a crap again. He had now this time he has to take a shit. Okay, like a fucking they go so he didn't go to the riot. I went to the riot because I was thinking, fuck, I was getting sick. I don't want to piss in the depends, I don't want to piss in the depends because I know I'm gonna feel fucking anguish and I'm gonna feel uncomfortable. Well and I didn't want to fucking go all the way down to fucking the line and all that shit. You know, I'm too old for that shit, you know, right? So I go, fuck it, fuck it. So I like a little, I did piss by piss, like you know when you're turning a water fountain on. You're tinkling, you're tinkling while you're in the that's what I was doing. So I said, fuck it. Oh shit, for the re dude, to be honest, dude, it was worth it.

Thee Gooch: 34:41

You know, okay, was work. Okay, so you you're tinkling in your depends, right? Your diaper. Yeah, okay. So you go and sit down. Doesn't the doesn't the the diaper when you sit down, doesn't it squeeze the pee out like a sponge? No, because and you're leaving a little wet spot on the right.

Joe: 34:59

It's like uh it absorbs it. It's funny, it's weird because it absorbs it like everything absorbs, you don't feel the wet or anything like that. Really? You don't, you know, I almost kind of want to try it out. If you know it's like when you get something spills, right, and your work job or anything like that. You have an absorbent, like a little absorbent, and you throw it in the floor. All that fucking the water absorbs to the cotton, all that shit, you know.

Thee Gooch: 35:28

See, if I try it, I might like it. You know what I'm saying?

Joe: 35:31

You know, I'm starting to like it now. Yeah, I think it's yeah, no, no, I just took it just in case shit like that, dude. You know? Oh, but what if you have diarrhea, dude? Does it catch it all? Or that I didn't try that shit now. That I won't do it. Maybe if I would have had to take a crap, I would probably go on the line and do that sacrifice with um my foo foo did, but yeah.

Thee Gooch: 35:50

Okay, all right. So when you okay, let's say let's pretend you had to take a shit, right? You you take a shit and you depend and you're in public. Do you lay down in the public restroom and then fucking clean yourself?

Joe: 36:03

I don't know, Gooch. That haven't tried that's not that's probably gonna be my next level, but I won't try it though. I don't know.

Thee Gooch: 36:10

I kind of want to try it, dude. Just to my own question.

Joe: 36:13

The PP, it's kind of a lot worth it, dude. Because uh I think I should put those in my my my car because you know, in case there's a bad accident on the freeway and I'm gonna be stalled and shit, you know, you have to take a pee. Believe me, dude. You don't want to because we have had that had happened to me before.

Thee Gooch: 36:29

It kind of, yeah, like it kind of makes sense to wear them, you know. Yeah, I'm I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Joe: 36:35

You know, yeah. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, but uh, I know people do it, you know.

Thee Gooch: 36:39

I wonder if it feels good when you when you when you pee and it depends in the winter time, you know, and your pee is warm, you're like, oh yeah, yeah, it does.

Joe: 36:47

Yeah, because it was cold over there. Really? Yeah, it's like, dude, believe me, dude, because I was I go, fuck. I gotta take a piss. I go, should I go to the should I go with Junior? It's already too late. So I go, fuck it, just let it all out. You know, fuck it. I have them. Why, why, you know, why bring them in that not work, not use them, you know?

Thee Gooch: 37:05

Right.

Joe: 37:06

But yeah, then you then you told me because I mean you were talking, talking about this before. You said, man, you were thinking about I look like Donald Duck, right?

Thee Gooch: 37:16

Walking, walking around like Donald Duck. Yeah.

Joe: 37:19

Like you feel like that big lump in the back.

Thee Gooch: 37:21

Yeah, yeah.

Joe: 37:22

I got a picture of me of Donald Duck. I don't know if you want to see it. You know.

Thee Gooch: 37:27

Did you were you were you soaking in your depends at this point?

Joe: 37:31

Well, in the beginning, yeah, but then it started to go away. This is how I look. Just imagine me walking naked like that, like with the depens.

Thee Gooch: 37:44

You know, I know, right?

Joe: 37:46

With the head and top. Well, I'm gonna have to give that a shot. Yeah, it's it's a lot worth it, dude. Trust me, it's because the car do you carry do you do you carry wipeies around too? Or yeah, I take wipies too. Because dude, look, I take a baby wipes because the fucking toilets are party full of piss, uh, and you take them just to wipe the rim.

Thee Gooch: 38:08

Okay, I got one more question. When you put the depends on, does it come with that velcro shit like babies diapers? No, does it have that velcro?

Joe: 38:16

Nah, or just one just come on like underwear like underwear, like underwear, to be honest.

Thee Gooch: 38:23

Yeah, I kind of want to take a shit in one of them so I can try it out just to try it out after eating. After eating Taco Bell, you know. Kind of want to try it. Yeah, well, believe me, but you know what? I should have put some right now because right now I gotta take a piss, but I'm not really now. I would have been talking to you like, yeah, okay. I was laughing when you were texting me. You're all like, see, I'm taking a leak right now in my depends. Yeah, it's kind of smart, but you know, you know what I mean? I guess I just I can I can't I can't. I maybe I don't knock it till I try it, right? You know what I mean?

Joe: 39:08

Yeah, because um wanna try it. Because you you gotta think it's known for older for for older folks, right?

Thee Gooch: 39:15

Right, right. I mean they can't control the bladders, yeah.

Joe: 39:18

I mean, you gotta think about it. Some some people probably use them to uh and just in case of an emergency, like, oh shit, you know, you might be stranded somewhere and shit like that, you know. Right, or some people that are really sick and they can grow they have uh bladder and problems or shit like that. But I only took it because I know some fucking day, I mean, or someday or sometime, I'm gonna be fucking holding it and I'm gonna be stuck in a line or something like that. Because I'm not gonna go all the way down there. Plus, you're holding it and it's gonna hurt more, you know. Yeah, no. You know when you're running and then people getting away with it, getting in the way, because Mr. Mafuva was telling me that he was when he was holding his his poopy. Because people would, you know, when you you gotta take a crap, you people run away on purpose, like fuck it. It's typical the irony, yeah. You know, it's like when you're driving in a car in a freeway, oh fuck, I gotta take a piss. Everybody all of a sudden, everybody's driving slow. You know, you know, that's how it is.

Thee Gooch: 40:12

I mean, it's not a bad idea. It's not a bad idea to wear the pens if you're in that situation, but uh, I'm just curious to know if you absolutely have to shit in the depends, would you do it? Like you just can't fucking hold it. Would you just let it rip?

Joe: 40:29

You know what? I probably have to, maybe. Maybe I don't know. I mean, time will tell, dude. Time will tell.

Thee Gooch: 40:37

I mean, it would probably feel funny, you know. You shitting yourself like babies, right?

Joe: 40:41

Yeah, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 40:42

And you're driving and you just feel the the poop going up your scrotum. Yeah, and you know, like when you sit down, huh? Like you're gonna feel like all the squishy shit like it's like. Play-le in your balls, dude? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah, but hey man, I just did it for that day. Okay, so when you're peeing and you depend, do you smell like pee? Like can you smell? Can I would I be able to smell you?

Joe: 41:10

Nah. No. It's pretty fresh. I mean, it's not like I leave it on for the whole week. Yeah, if I leave the left them on the whole week and I'll no care no wear it, of course it's gonna smell, you know.

Thee Gooch: 41:26

You know? Now now I'm looking at you like you smell like pee. I'll bring the I'll bring I'll bring the baby powder.

Joe: 41:44

Yeah, I should have brought that shit, dude. No, no, now you know that thing.

Thee Gooch: 41:48

Well, see, that's what I'm saying. If you're using the depends and you're you're soiling yourself or you're peeing in the dependent, I mean, are you laying down in the public restroom and then dabbing some powder on your nuts so you can feel fresh again and then just replace it?

Joe: 42:01

I just I literally I just went with a ride. I I ride with it, dude. You know, but yeah, you know, you're right. I should have bought like a little baby powder bottle and uh you know those little motel kits and shit. Yeah, yeah. I didn't thought of that, but but it's not like uh you're gonna wear them the whole week, you know.

Thee Gooch: 42:21

You know, maybe if I like it, maybe if I like it, I will wear it all week.

Joe: 42:25

Yeah, maybe if yeah, maybe you wear a week, it's gonna smell, it's gonna reek and go fuck.

Thee Gooch: 42:30

You know, you don't get no no pea rashes, rash like on your balls.

Joe: 42:36

Like I said, you have to wear that shit like when you're like in a week or two weeks, you know. Diaper rash, diaper rash and shit like that. Oh god. Yeah, dude. The answer to your question, like yeah, I did kind of find like Donald Duck, you know, like walking around, yeah. Walking like this, like you know, shit like that.

Thee Gooch: 42:57

But but um that shit was funny, dude.

Joe: 43:01

I mean, I know it it sounds weird, you know.

Thee Gooch: 43:05

Oh well, you definitely sound weird to me because I you know, you're my older brother, right? And uh eventually we uh we will be in diapers. But I don't know, it's kind of like a good idea at the same time. Like I want to try it, you know. If I'm standing in like a phone, you gotta think about it this way.

Joe: 43:24

You gotta think about it this way. It's like if you rather shit in your pants or pee in your pants, everybody smells your dookie and your pee pee and your pants, seeing it all like you know, in your pants. What do you rather you have that or you rather fucking smell in front of everybody?

Thee Gooch: 43:38

I want to be in a quiet, I want to be in a quiet environment, right? Where and and take a shit in my and my depends, test it out or with test it out, see how much it muffles it.

Joe: 43:51

Yeah, oh my gosh, dude, just to try it out, dude. You know, yeah, just I don't know. Here's my collections of yeah, did you hear did you see the um the new trailer of He-Man? Yes, the Master of the Universe. What do you think?

Thee Gooch: 44:11

And a lot of people, a lot, a lot of people. I think he's too small. You think so? I think he needs more muscle. Because he-Man, he-Man has he's a barbarian, right? He's supposed to have a lot of muscle. Yeah, this guy doesn't slip, but it's a movie, dude, but yeah, he needs more muscle.

Joe: 44:26

I think he looks great, you know. He looks awesome, yeah. I mean, he looks great, and I mean it's better than the fucking 1987 one. Yeah. Well, I wanna I'm gonna show it off to show off my my collection that I have. Here we go. Here's my collections of my uh masters of the universe. Okay. Remember when you we we had those original characters?

Thee Gooch: 45:57

Yeah, we had the toys in the eighties, yeah. I was always the I was yeah, I was always the villain.

Joe: 46:03

The villains, and I was the good guys.

Thee Gooch: 46:06

What was the name of the purple, the purple lion?

Joe: 46:08

Panthor. I remember you had that one, yeah. But that the one I have, it's not the original Panthor. No, that's the I don't know what else, what it is.

Thee Gooch: 46:17

Panthor, Panthor, he it was almost like Suede.

Joe: 46:20

Yeah, he'll suede, yeah. And you know when I saw that in Target, and I didn't buy it, dude. No, no, I didn't bought it. Fuck 30 bucks.

Thee Gooch: 46:27

Good luck trying to buy some good luck trying to buy the original 80s toys on eBay, dude. I'm sure those prices went up.

Joe: 46:34

Yeah, since the movie came out too, they went up, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So and I I mean I like it. I I think it's great because um it's better than the 1987 movie because all these characters are coming out.

Thee Gooch: 46:49

You could see a lot of characters, yeah.

Joe: 46:52

You can even see Raman and one of the back of the back of He-Man under one of the one of the flicks.

Thee Gooch: 46:59

So I just hope he says by the power of Grace Call.

Joe: 47:02

Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think he does say is it it's just the trailer cut it off.

Thee Gooch: 47:06

They just cut it out, yeah.

Joe: 47:07

Yeah, and everybody's all crying about, oh, where's Oracle? Where's Oracle? And then when he comes out, oh, they put him too soon, they put him too soon. Yeah, because Oracle doesn't come out. Yeah, so later. But I think it's gonna be good. I'd like it. I don't I'm not gonna complain it because how big he is and all that stuff. I think he would have looked more ridiculous if it had been more buffed and all that shit, how he's gonna move and all that shit, you know. I don't know.

Thee Gooch: 47:38

I think it I think the movie looks great.

Joe: 47:40

It looks great. I mean, better in the 87.

Thee Gooch: 47:43

Let me tell you one thing. It looks like him too. Yeah, he does. Same clothes and shit.

Joe: 47:50

My first acting figure from the Master Universe is uh Man at Arms when Dad bought it for me.

Thee Gooch: 47:56

Yeah, yeah. I forgot which one was mine, dude. I remember we had that skunk. I had the skunk one. Yeah, I had that one too. And he he smelled like skunk.

Joe: 48:05

Yeah, he smelled like skunk. You had web store, you remember web store?

Thee Gooch: 48:09

Yeah. Shit.

Speaker 2: 48:11

I'm gonna check out eBay dude to see what I can find.

Thee Gooch: 48:13

Dude, it cost like 25 bucks now. Yeah, yeah. Because all those, all the all the ones you have, those are the reproductions, no?

Joe: 48:22

Yeah, those are the replicas.

Thee Gooch: 48:23

Replicas, yeah.

Joe: 48:25

And and they were like, when I bought them, they were like 12 bucks. Now they went up to 19, dude.

Thee Gooch: 48:30

No shit.

Joe: 48:31

Yeah, believe it or not. And I was gonna give those toys, I was gonna give those toys a giveaway. But now that the movie came out, the price, the value went up. I'm not gonna give them away now. Imagine. And that Oracle, the one I have, it used to be a a tent spot, you know, when you like a little wire in it, wire it and then you pull it and he spins around. He spins around. This one that I have, it's not the original. So maybe if I find the original on eBay, it probably costs like what, like maybe a hundred bucks, you know.

Thee Gooch: 49:06

Let me check, dude. Let me check, let me check, let me check.

Joe: 49:08

In eBay, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 49:10

Aren't they making a Voltron movie too?

Joe: 49:12

Yeah, yeah. They should be that should that should be coming up maybe this year or something. Well, we're expecting a trailer, maybe like in two more months, you know. So there's they say that they're already wrapped up already. So really I hope I'm not I hope it doesn't disappoint us, dude, because from what I heard, it's not it's not gonna continue like with original pilots, like Keith and all them. You know, they're gonna it's gonna be a different how do you call it? Um a different force, you know.

Thee Gooch: 49:45

We got Skeletor right now on eBay on the bid, just Skeletor, no box, no nothing. He has all his weapons, 65 bucks, starting bid.

Joe: 49:56

Yeah. And that's the original or is that the replica?

Thee Gooch: 49:59

No, that's the original, vintage.

Joe: 50:03

Oh, what about the He-Man?

Thee Gooch: 50:05

He-Man is 85 original, original, but no box, but he has both his swords and a shield.
