But for her to, you know, you know, it How can I say this? Man, a lot of times women have problems with each other. Like, and so what I mean by that is that you would see daughters and moms fight more often than what you would see like a mother and son fight, you know? The same thing with typically with the with with men, you see the son and the father get into it a little bit more, you know? It's the same It's the same kind of type thing, you know?

Enjoy. >> That was crazy stupid. And I was so mad. I couldn't believe that. That's like, you know, you knocked me like my body. I just felt the out-of-body experience. >> [laughter] >> So, no, but cuz yeah, like back then I was getting you know, I was getting bullied at school and then we was watching you know, I started to get into wrestling and learn like you know, moves and stuff like that. And then uh Yeah, that was Yeah, that was crazy. That was um Yeah, cuz he >> I think about it so off so much, you know? I mean, that never left me, you know? It was like once you hit me, it was like a out-of-body experience. It was just crazy. >> Yeah, because yeah, you you called me into the room. We we were talking about the bullying and then you was like pretty much, you know, you wanted to see how strong I was and I was like, "No, no." >> No, mhm. Cuz I just thought that you know, that you didn't have the punch, you know? You didn't have the punch that you should to protect yourself, you know? And I'm thinking of all types of things that you can do, you know, go to this school, go to karate, go to you know, all kind of stupid things I'm thinking of, you know, let's get a big brother for you and oh man, it was I was crazy cuz I didn't like that at all, you know, that uh some of the things that you had said that happened during your you know, childhood. So, you know, I just wanted to test it out and see. And then I you know, afterwards I just thought that you was crazy because if you thought that you you you know, shoot with that punch, you could have bullied anybody you wanted to. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, that's crazy. >> Yeah, cuz you called me in and you was like, you know, yeah, you wanted to you wanted to test my strength and you asked me a couple of times and then I said, "Nope. No. No." And you was like you was like, "No. I'm I'm you know, yeah." Pretty much was like begging me to hit you and I was like, "Yeah." Cuz I couldn't remember if it was in the hand or if it was in the shoulder. >> Yeah. It was in the arm. It was in the arm. In the arm. In the arm. In the arm. And that was crazy. I I I was like, "You was supposed to spend the weekend." That That was like Saturday. You had to go home a day early cuz that couldn't take it. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. And and and and mom wore my ass out, boy. She beat me TO SLEEP. YEAH. >> [laughter] >> OH. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW YOU got home. I think I took a cab round trip. You know. >> Yeah. Yeah, you dropped me off, told told mom what happened, and then uh mom was like, "YOU HIT MY MOTHER? YOU HIT MY MOTHER?" AND IT was on and popping at the house. I said, "OH MY I SAID, "I DIDN'T EVEN MEAN TO LIKE WHAT?" SHE SHE ASKED me to DO IT. I SAID, "NO." >> ALL RIGHT. SHE TOLD ME TO do it. You should have told her. She told me to do it. >> I did cuz you you you said you said what happened, but you failed to leave out that part that you told me TO DO IT. I didn't I didn't want to do it. Boy. >> stand looking at you no more for that weekend. No more. [laughter] No more. And afterwards, you know, when I got back home, I was calmed down a little bit and I felt bad for what I did, but I couldn't, you know, and I'm surprised that, you know, I've gotten my arm and shoulder messed up broken. I'm surprised you didn't break it, you know, my arm because I've had my arm broken before and that was nothing just like falling down, you know. >> How old was I then? I was probably like maybe eight. >> [snorts] >> Maybe like eight, seven. All right, yeah, like eight, nine. Yeah, I was like eight. >> Yeah. Well, you was you was Yeah. Well, maybe. Yeah. Well, yeah. Could have been I can't I can't figure out how old you was. You know, time went by so fast with you, you know, being a youngster, you know? >> Yeah, I just wanted to share that story cuz uh, you know, I see this video here and uh, it says uh, you know, "Grandma realizes uh, she just killed her grandson." And that made me think of that story because I'm like, "Man, shoot, when I got home, I thought mom was going to kill me, boy. I was I WAS LIKE, YO, THAT WAS SO INSANE." >> [laughter] >> YEAH, that was crazy. >> Yo, >> It was crazy. I'll never ask anybody to do that again, boy. You don't know how how strong a person can be, you know? And while you felt that you were bullied, you have to turn around and use that strength on other people. Cuz I was nice. >> I was nice. I was really nice. I cuz I was a nice kid, like so I was >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I didn't get mean until I got older. >> [laughter] >> No, you you got intense, you know? you you was able to read something and kind of hold your temper, but you're very structured and and you know, like you always say, you give them two times, you know, two times, the third time, that's it. And that's kind of how structured you are with your life, you know, you'll do something once, maybe twice, but third time, you out, they out, you know. I'm glad you brought that up because I think about it so much, you know, and every time I think about it, I'm like, you know, that was such a crazy move for me to make say, you got to go home, you got to go home this weekend, you know, and that that was the weekend, you know, you spent every weekend with me, but that I couldn't take that, >> [laughter] >> But all right, grandpa, I'm going to I'm going to get off this phone, man, but uh >> Okay. >> All right, love you.
