| 0:00.0 | Yeah, and sometimes, like, I don't know, it's weird. |
| 0:02.9 | Like, when my dad passed away, like, I had a buddy, we were super tight, right? |
| 0:06.0 | But over the years, we just haven't been as tight. Sure. So, like, it's funny, his cousin came, but over the years, I've been better friends with the cousin than him. And I remember the cousin was so mad that he wasn't there. And I said, man, it's not that big of a deal to me. Right. But I've been on the other side, too, when one of my friends' dads passed away. |
| 0:22.1 | I really got annoyed with one of our friends' dads passed away. I really |
| 0:22.6 | got annoyed with one of our friends. They didn't show up until I said that thing you were doing wasn't that important. What's weird to me is we've had a couple people pass in the last few years and it's mostly been on the East Coast, but we always get the, hey, this can be the date of the funeral. don't feel obligated to come. |
| 0:37.5 | I'm like, I'm not coming because I feel obligated. |
| 0:40.3 | The reason you told me that always get the, hey, this can be the date of the funeral. Don't feel obligated to come. |
| 0:55.0 | I'm like, I'm not coming because I feel obligated. The reason you told me that this person has passed is the reason I'm going to come to the way. And you want to take time off from work and you spend the money and fly out there. Like, I'm not doing this because I'm... And that's what I was saying to Rose, like, you got to, even if if something comes up, whatever, you know, like I get it, but like when Brendan Looney, |
| 0:55.2 | right, |
| 0:56.2 | wear him on my wrist every day. |
| 1:10.3 | When he passed away, right, he's a Navy seal. Like I flew back when I thought the wedding was going to, or the funeral was going to be. That's twice in one week. It is. I know. It wasn't because it took time. Like, I still don't think the government's told us what happened to him. |
| 1:10.7 | They won't. |
| 1:12.6 | But it took time to get the body back and stuff. |
| 1:14.5 | But I still went back and saw his parents. |
| 1:10.8 | Yeah. Saw his brothers. So, like, right, just like with that thing with Rose, like, Jesus Christ, people show up to something. The thing is, with Rose, that's family. And for me, I can definitely get into relationships or I broke off friends. Sure. |
| 1:33.3 | Relationships or, you know, with another person I live with, job. Family-wise, I'm still good. |
| 1:37.8 | I am never, there's nobody that I have cast off, so to speak. There's been a family. Not even Wong. Well, we just, well, Wong kind of did his own thing. But, but, no, I really just don't, I don't have adversarial relationships with my family. I just don't, don't butt heads. I do not either. You know what I mean? I just try to keep it. There's some people with my mom's family side that for years I wouldn't speak to, just as the way they treat it my mother. Sure. Right. And I was like 18. It was very hard. Nowadays, if I see them, it's fine, but I'm never going to, they're not like the Smiths. |
| 2:03.9 | Right. |
| 2:18.1 | Like when I go back home, I won't make zero effort. If I run into them, cool. Awesome. Right. My mom's who paired the relationship with them. Good for her. But as her son, I'm just, you're not obligated. Right. And I was just like, you knew what you did. Nobody apologized. Cool apologized cool you know but what do we always you know somebody shows you who they are or tells you who they are listen why didn't you say |
| 2:22.0 | I know what you did last summer I'm saying just work it in man well I was the evil one once because |
| 2:26.6 | I flipped them off at church in the park in the parking lot oh yeah that's great yeah's great. Yeah. You know me. |
