Patrick asks, did either of you have the opportunity or get offered to join either the Albanian or Greek mafias growing up in Baltimore? What do you think? How do you think that works? Yeah. You think they give you like fucking like invites? Yeah, it's like a recruitment letter. It's like a visit to like a D2 college or something. Yeah.

No. I feel like obviously no, but I feel like there was a lot of low-level crime in it. Sure. Oh, yeah. You knew some people who were shady and you knew that they were getting into stuff. Absolutely. Well, there was that the guys who owned a diner got fucking pinched for selling cocaine out of it. I don't know how he got out of it. Yeah, I mean, he snitched. Clearly. There's no way you get out of selling cocaine without snitching. I remember I was with Dad and I learned about the news.

And me and dad were literally walking there. And dad's like, yeah, he's probably like, we'll never see him again. Yeah. And we walk up to one of the cafe near. And he's just sitting outside playing like Davli. Jesus, dude. And he's like, where is he?

And he was like, I understand. I know that. Nice explanation. To get out of something like that unscathed is wild. It's crazy, dude. Why is he outside? And everyone was just hanging out with him. Got his fucking top blown off. Yeah, no one cares.

I can't believe no one tried to kill him if he snitched. Yeah, that happened in... Some Greek guy got killed getting his hair cut in Highland Town. Really? He ran up on him and shot him when he was getting his hair cut. What? I don't remember that. This was like four or five years ago. Yeah, and they killed a cop, too. Oh, my God. There was a cop there, too. And they were just like... He got in the way of... It was an off-duty cop who got in the way of that hit. Holy shit. And they just killed him, too, dude. Oh, my God. Crazy, man. Yeah, there was...

There was like a little gang. You know, I feel like you guys could have joined that little gang. There was plenty of opportunities to join Angels of Death. Yeah. The Angels of Death. There was Greektown Soldiers, Angels of Death. The Greektown Soldiers, of course. How could you forget? And I remember I was walking to... No, Greektown Posse and Highlandtown Soldiers. Is that what it was? The GTP. The GTP, that's right. Yes, yes. Okay, Greektown Posse. And so...

I'm walking back from the Greek festival when it used to be in front of the church. Yes. And I just see this guy and his like, the shirts like fucking ripped and he's like all clearly got in a fight. And it's normal. It's like everyday shit. And I'm just walking home like, you know, yeah, this guy's had a shitty night.

And he's just fucking banging on his chest. He's like, I don't give a fuck. He's like, creep down till I die. Creep down till I die. He's like, no one's there. He had just gotten jumped or something? He just got his ass kicked, clearly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, fucking his pockets were inside out. They clearly ran his pockets. Inside out is so fucking funny. Like a Depression era cartoon. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I was like, damn, this guy must have been jumped by AOD.

Yeah, there was a moment where those guys were running wild. There was like packs of 20 teenagers. They would just find someone and fuck them up, dude. It honestly did get kind of crazy. It got hot for a little bit. Yeah, for a little bit.

And then a couple people died, a couple people went to jail. Yeah. And then it was like, oh. It wasn't like the mafia where it's like you cut the head off, it could continue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The two main guys, who we won't say who they were, but we grew up with, literally they were an alley away. Yeah. One got arrested and the other one got pulled over and he started shooting at the cops that were pulling him over. There was another guy that got arrested.

So his brother was arrested and he wanted to go to prison and be with his brother so he killed someone in order to be with his brother. Guys, I still live there. Chill.

we didn't say any names and free them by the way they did nothing wrong they're misunderstood yeah dude greek town's a little different now the new houses made it the block a little safer it is definitely much more much more gentle but i did see one thing a couple days ago uh this fat short guy he looked rough around the edges right there was a traffic cone outside of our our house for whatever reason and he's like hey bud can i have that traffic cone uh it'll it'll help for my son you know teach him how to hit a baseball i'm like i don't

Okay, yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, as he's walking away, I'm like, you know, that's kind of nice. This fucked up dad's trying to do whatever he can for his son. Yeah. And, like, the next day, I go to walk the dog, and he's there with his son, and I'm at the top of the steps, and he pulls his dick out in front of his son and starts pissing on a car, dude. And I'm sitting there just watching him. I swear to God. I'm like, what the fuck?

In broad daylight, too. It was like 4 p.m. I was going to walk the fucking dog. And the kid was like, Dad, or whatever. And he pulls his fucking fat little dick and balls back in his shorts and just keeps walking, dude.

I'm like, damn, dude. That's awesome. He flipped the script on me big time, dude. It's the same guy. Hey, I want to teach my son how to play ball. Did you see him ever, like, teaching him how to hit a ball? No. Was he hammered? I have no idea, but now he has a sign in the middle of the road that says car wash, and he's just, like, washing cars with, like, a bucket of water and a fucking sponge, dude. Oh, good for him, dude.

The dad. Yeah, the dad. Maybe that was part of the car wash. And this is the first time I've seen that guy. A urine rinse. Piss on it, wipe it down. A VIP detailing service. Where does he live? Does he live in the neighborhood? I don't even know, dude. Damn, that's hilarious. It is a great... It is a funny neighborhood. It's a funny-ass neighborhood. It really is. It's pretty awesome. They'll never fully...

civilized Greek town. Even around it, it's getting nicer, but the heart will never really change. Dude, I went to an Orioles game yesterday, and I just forgot how much I loved being in Baltimore. It's just the best people watching. And we were stormed. There was a storm, so they wouldn't let anyone in. So we were all just getting poured on. There was lightning. So then everyone...

Everyone just like kind of rushes in right and then you just see like everyone from like Sparrows Points And then edge mere Middle River yeah, Glenburn It was awesome. I was like damn Baltimore fucking rocks Different tribes let's do one more from the patreon and then we'll answer some some advice You mentioned in a recent app about dealing with anger issues anything you all have learned from each other about dealing with it. I

Anything we've learned from each other while dealing with it? Not really. I mean, I know we all used to punch each other in the face when we were younger. We was angry little guys. Yeah, we definitely did plenty of property damage. Lots of it. I think I've talked about the fact that, maybe I talked about it on Comptown, where I punched a hole through my wall because that's the halkiest way of dealing with emotions. And then my dad fixed it, came to fix it, did such a bad job, he brought his friend to

And then his friend would later go on to kill his wife and try to kill his mistress. That's right. Oh, my God. I forgot about that guy. That Polish guy. Holy shit. No, no, we shouldn't say his name, but he's rotting in a cell somewhere. I have spent so much time with that guy as a kid. I know. He would hang out, and he was pleasant as shit. He was a funny guy. Yeah, how are you doing? Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Super jolly. He literally was jolly, dude. He was like an off-duty Santa Claus. He had great vibes. Oh my God. And then he was in like a green card marriage and his wife was cheating on him but they had an arrangement where he had a mistress too but I guess he just got mad. Killed his wife.

Had his mistress upstairs tied up. She heard the gun go off, was like, I'm going to fucking die. And like fucking like bit her rope, the rope. He was literally had her tied up and she crawled out somehow, saved her life, went to the cops. This fucking guy's in jail forever now. I thought he killed himself. No, no, no. He's got, there is a fucked up mugshot of that guy. He's just like, oh my God.

I think I know what happened to him, too. I think the devil took him under. Holy shit, you're right.
