Hey Jeff. Hey, Eric. How are you? I'm pretty good. How are you? Doing well, thank you. Another great week for It's the Real. How could it not be another great week for It's the Real? I mean, I could come up with like some ways off the top of my head that it couldn't be a good week. We could have gotten the swine flu. That would have been a bad week for It's the Real. Yeah, I mean, I guess we could have gotten like a flat tire. That would also be a bad week for It's the Real. We could have gotten stuck underground on a train,

which is more likely. No, you know what, though? That happened to us and that still didn't deter a good week. Right. So, you know what? I don't think there's anything but a good week for It's the Real. Every week is good for It's the Real. Yeah. This past week, we had a great episode of a wasted time with It's the Real, starting off with Kamaya, the Oakland rapper who we're so fond of.

Also on that episode, we had our friend Fafu. Yes, Fafu used to be the drum programmer

for Prince, the late Great Prince. Also, this week, you had a, you had a pretty horrific experience

at the barber. Well, first of all, I don't like talking to my barber. Just generally speaking. Just generally speaking. Not a thing I do. I just like to sit there, take it in. Well, but you go there and the first thing you say, and maybe the only thing you say is like, cut it short inside. I say, give me a number two fade. And then... Keep it long on top. Long on top. So, simple instructions. Yeah. I feel like I'm very clear. Well, I don't want to confuse them. I mean, okay, so you go across the street because why, it's easy, right? It's easy. And it's cheap. And this is a barber slash... They sell gold. They also buy gold. Big sign. Yeah. So, I mean, like, you know, it's not the most reputable place, I guess. I mean, unless you're looking to, you know, pay for your haircuts and gold. I don't know what their Yelp reviews are. If they're better for buying gold or for getting haircuts. You should really check and let's circle back next week. But anyway, you went there. I went there and I sit down in the last seat. The guy came out from behind the gold counter and was like, hey, so what are we doing today? I said number two fade, keep along on top. But you don't recognize the guy. This isn't your normal guy as far as you know. Well, I walked in there and everybody

who had been working there has now been fired. For good reason, I'm sure. Probably because they don't sell enough gold. Yeah. And the guy starts cutting my hair. And about halfway through, he does this thing where he slaps the scissors against his comb. And I'm like, oh my God, I remember him. Just like in a movie, he gives that signal.

And a month before, six weeks

before, he'd give... his comb and I'm like oh my god I remember him just like in a movie he gives that signal and a month

before six weeks before he'd given me a shitty haircut and I was like same slap of the the comb and the

and the scissors very intense and I was so like oh no so the light bulb went off right above your head

and then he cut it off.

Yeah, yeah.

And so I still gave him a good tip.

Did you really?

Yeah.

Well, but so you come home.

Pissed.

Piss.

Not in a good mood.

You walk in and I look over from my room and I see you and you go.

I look like I'm going to a Russian night nightclub, and my name is Dmitri.

Well, how you feel now?
