Mattew Souza (05:43):
Just to quit it.
Sevan Matossian (05:45):
Yeah. Just to, just to get away from that caffeine. And, and when I say coffee, by the way, I’m lumping up all caffeine. Like, I don’t just quit. Like I’m not quitting. I would never quit coffee and then like, take fucking, uh, what, uh, uh, uh, what’s that stuff you drink before you work out? What’s that called? Pre-workout. Pre-workout. Yeah. I don’t drink coffee, but I have two scoops of pre-workout

Sevan Matossian (06:09):
Stupid. Yeah. John Young did it. Uh, we’re coming. Oh, here we go. What’s this? Uh, we’re coming out with a product, uh, to compete with strong coffee. Oh, good. Yeah. Cuz that, to be honest with you, those strong coffee packets, I don’t know how good they are for you, but the little paper ones where you rip and you pour it in there, those are fucking good. That shit’s legit. Uh, and finally I got my needles from Paper Street Coffee, uh, paper. I got my needles from, uh, California hormones. And I got my, and I got peptides. So I, I have, I have, I have, there’s one needle that you use to take the water out and then squirt it into the vial where the peptides are. And then, then you mix it up, you roll it, you don’t shake it according to Andrew Hiller. Mm. And then I’m gonna grab this muscle that’s hurt and I’m gonna inject the peptides into it.
Mattew Souza (06:57):
Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, you gonna be cool with that? You could just stick yourself with the needle.
Sevan Matossian (07:01):
I think so.
Mattew Souza (07:03):

Sevan Matossian (07:05):
Oh, oh, oh, I see. I see. Yeah, I’m still fasting, but you know what’s trippy, Chris? I was actually, I still felt, yeah. Every, every, um, in the last three years, I’ve only missed three weeks, three Sundays basically. I stopped eating Saturday night. I don’t eat again until Monday morning. But my belt loop is the biggest it’s been in my entire life right now. And larges don’t fit me anymore. Like, I won’t go out in this shirt cuz I’ll be too busy pulling it off my body the whole time. And I hate that
Mattew Souza (07:33):

Sevan Matossian (07:34):
No, I won’t go to an Excel. But something has happened. I’ve just gotten old and I’m not, I’m not metabolized. Something has happened. I don’t know what,
Mattew Souza (07:42):
Hmm.
Sevan Matossian (07:45):
My wife thinks it’s, cuz I’m drinking a little bit more sometimes because sometimes I won’t drink at all. Sometimes I’ll, I mean, I’ll go six months without drinking, but lately I’ve been drinking a little bit.
Mattew Souza (07:55):
I feel like drinking makes people puffy, you
Sevan Matossian (07:57):
Know? Yeah. And maybe that’s what’s happened to me. Yeah. But to go up to a larger belt size is kind of crazy. Cuz even when my belt’s tight, I would keep it at the smaller size and just deal with it and just be like, okay, well just don’t eat until it feels comfortable.
Mattew Souza (08:09):
<laugh>. That’s a healthy, that’s a healthy
Sevan Matossian (08:11):
Relationship. You think that’s weird? Do you think that’s weird?

I’m like, it’s not a fucking human. And now I’m talking to my wife in a way that I don’t wanna be talking to her. She’s fucking already rattled, right? Cuz the fucking dog is coming to the house. She’s, she’s basically telling me I can do it. I can do it. And it’s like, no, you can’t fucking do it. She’s trying to grab the dog by the caller to hold him in there. I’m like, you can’t fucking do that. I got one hand on her fucking little snub tail my fucking knuckles up against the dog’s anus. You know, she’s like, oh, you fuck.
(11:57):

All right. Uh, so the other day, as you guys saw, those of you who followed me on Instagram, you saw that, um, identify with being a black man? I didn’t. I did not. I kind of knew. I kind of always knew that I was culturally black. Like I was a hybrid. I was raised in a, I’m Armenian, but I was raised culturally black. Like just always listening to rap music. Always just like, I just, I just wanted to talk black. I just wanted to, I just loved, I loved fucking rap music. I loved music videos. Like U T F O. I wanted to stand around with a bunch of dudes and be like, I didn’t like the part where your pants sag. I did not like that part. I was never gonna do that.

Just, just the, the, the, um, the, the, the po Well, since, since then I’ve learned that it’s actually, um, it’s actually, uh, since then I’ve actually learned it’s, it’s redneck culture. It’s not even black. The blacks stole it. That’s culturally all that rap shit’s culturally appropriated. They pretty much have to stop. We should flush all that shit down the toilet. <laugh>. Did you know that, that that’s all redneck culture? Yeah. That basically blacks were stripped of their culture as slaves. And they were given redneck culture just because they was all fucking rednecks that were working with them in the, uh, on the plantations.
Mattew Souza (21:48):
The redneck? Or did it come from like the Irish
Sevan Matossian (21:51):
Whatever. It sounds the same to me.
Mattew Souza (21:53):
Or isn’t like the redneck,
Sevan Matossian (21:55):
But, but southern redneck culture, like the way some of our callers are who calls in, like, remember that dude he used to call in Dick Marrin Ha like gomer py Shit. That’s like, that’s like white redneck culture. And, and somehow the fucking blacks got it in the south and then they, they claim it’s theirs. And then like, version two of redneck culture is fucking ice cube <laugh>. I’m serious.
Mattew Souza (22:20):

No, I went to Barnes and Noble and Got it. I I still go to Barnes and Noble. I still like being in the bookstore.
Sevan Matossian (23:19):
Got it. Thank you. Thank you Lauren. Okay. I’m listening to, um, I’ve always been obsessed with just books. I, I read, I basically read anything I could get on the Black Panthers, 50 books on the Black Panthers, Angela Davis to Huey Newton, all those fuckers. And their lawyer was Armenian. That was the only white dude allowed in the group. That was kind of cool. I read everything I could on Malcolm X, everything I could on Nelson Mandela. I was obsessed. Cause I, cause some of, you know, I was the only white dude in my neighborhood for a couple years. The only one is crazy and I’m barely white, like I said. So anyway, so, so then, so yesterday I’m in this market. I, in, in my Instagram post, I said I was in a liquor store, but I’m gonna tell you the truth. I was in this fancy because I was just in a hurry and I just wanted to write.
(24:01):
I was in this fancy fucking market, this tiny little market. And it’s the kind of market where like cheeses are like, hi Trish. How was the basketball game? Armenians aren’t white, they’re Asian. Yeah. Which I think is closer to being black than white is. Um, so, so I’m, I’m in this market and it’s one of those fancy markets, right? Where they handmake the burritos and the sandwiches and the cheeses are five times as much as they should be. And it’s just, and they have like the wooden spoons and shit for sale and little rocks with crystals in ’em. And just like fancy all sorts of fancy like sparkling waters you’ve never heard of. You know what I’m talking about? Is it the one
Mattew Souza (24:37):
That’s close to the ocean?
Sevan Matossian (24:38):
Yes. By the tennis courts? Yes. Yeah.
Mattew Souza (24:40):
Grace loves to go to that place.
Sevan Matossian (24:42):
Yeah, that place. It’s cool, right? Yeah. Yeah. It’s fucked up. Everything’s so expensive. So I go in there and I’m in line and the, and the line is slow as shit. And there’s five people in line in front of me. So I’m in line there with the sparkling water and I’m buying, um, Avi something. I can’t remember. What, what did he get? What? Did Avi get his sandwich? No. What did get
Mattew Souza (24:58):
The juices in there are good.
Sevan Matossian (24:59):
We, we don’t drink juice. Please don’t say that on the show.
Mattew Souza (25:02):
No, no. It’s like they like juice. It like
Sevan Matossian (25:04):
Actual, oh, Jews. You like the Jews are good in that sh store. <laugh> what? Uh, yeah. Uh, you read that Malcolm’s autobiography in one day, thick book. Uh, Alex Haley, great book. Great book. Um, who, who, uh, fuck, what was he getting? Anyway, it doesn’t matter. And I’m in line and about two people before it’s supposed to be my turn. This kid fucking walks up and he doesn’t get in line. And then it’s my turn. And he’s standing there and he’s come at the line from an angle that’s clearly not the line. And I look at him and it’s a black kid, and I say to myself, well, I’m gonna let him go. So this doesn’t turn into a fucking international George Floyd incident. And he doesn’t say that the white, that he doesn’t fucking go and say that the fucking white man fucking, and so I go after you son and he goes, no, no after you. And I’m like, goddammit,
Mattew Souza (26:04):
<laugh>
Sevan Matossian (26:05):
Racist piece of shit. I was talking to myself, not him. I said, oh, thank you. Shocked. How dare he ruined my,
Mattew Souza (26:15):
You just thought I was gonna cut the line, didn’t you?
Sevan Matossian (26:17):
Yeah. Yeah.
Mattew Souza (26:18):
What happened? Respectful, polite.
Sevan Matossian (26:20):
Yeah. It was probably fucking Spider-man. The new black spider-man. Afro Spider-Man. Fucked up my whole fucking story. I said, okay, cool. And, uh, uh, I paid for my shit and that’s when I gave the a hundred dollars bill. And that’s when the dude starts examining it. He’s, he, the first thing he says is, I’ve never seen a counterfeit a hundred dollar bill. I’m like, what the fuck? This is counterfeit a hundred dollar bill. Are the cops gonna show up? Is he gonna call the cops? Am I gonna have to say something? Yeah. Am I gonna have to tell the cops that I did not know this was a counterfeit a hundred dollar bill? And the whole time I’m gonna be thinking I lied. <laugh>. No, he didn’t cut behind me. He wasn’t a homo. He was a black guy. He may have been a homo. He came, he came at an angle where the line wasn’t supposed to be coming from. But, but, but in, in his defense, in, in the kid’s defense, like the line wasn’t delineated. The only way you knew that where the line, it’s, it’s not like laid out on the floor. It’s not like a typical grocery store where you know the direction the line’s supposed to be. He was actually probably standing in the spot that was smarter to have a line.
Mattew Souza (27:17):
Yeah, that spot where I stand and they got in trouble and they said, no, it’s over here.
Sevan Matossian (27:20):
Oh, yeah. Yeah. It’s fucked up over there, right? Yes. Yes.
Mattew Souza (27:23):
You’re talking about
Sevan Matossian (27:24):
Yes. Yes. That’s cool that you know that.
Mattew Souza (27:27):
Yeah. I’m just glad they finally put down, took down the plexiglass
Sevan Matossian (27:33):
Kids. Listen, dear, dear, oh dear kids, dear, listen. Oh, oh, dear. Why am I, why am I listening to this guy beat someone’s ass right now? <laugh>, uh, where am I going with this? Oh, here, here, here we go. Here we go. Uh, uh, um, a dear, dear, oh, to your dear, go to your drone. Why am I listening to this weirdo? I’m passionate. You’ll be lucky. Oh, to your kids if one day you have an eighth of the passion that I have. Okay. Uh, so, so I was wrong. I, I I, I, I, I, I was wrong about the, uh, the, the, the black human being, the white human being was wrong about the black human being. And, and I, so then I pay the a hundred dollars. And I realize at that point, like I’m, I’m always freaked out about that. I’m al anytime there’s cops or like anytime there’s any authority, anytime I walk in anywhere, like even when I go to the movie theater and I buy a ticket and then there’s no one there to show my ticket to, you know what I mean? They
Mattew Souza (28:46):
Think you’re gonna just cut it to,
Sevan Matossian (28:48):
I just think like the whole, like, I sit down from when I, from, you know what I mean? Like, you know how movie theater, you know, when we, when I don’t know you, when I was a kid, there were like plenty of people to work in the movie theater. Someone you paid the money to, someone you bought the popcorn from, and then someone you gave your ticket to. Now it’s one person. It’s one kid with fucking bunch of holes in his face, hair dyed pink. She sells the tickets too. You, then she runs over to the fucking popcorn and then there’s no one there to tear your ticket. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Do you know what I mean? Yep.
Mattew Souza (29:12):
Chaos.
Sevan Matossian (29:13):
It’s, yeah. Look at Blade. I, uh, we would’ve, uh, uh, activated squad on your ass. Yeah. <laugh>. That’s what I mean. I can’t, um,
Mattew Souza (29:22):
Strolled up for that a hundred dollars Bill
Sevan Matossian (29:23):
<laugh>. Yeah, that’s what I, that I, that’s what I mean, that’s spoken like a cop. I know you guys would. So e even then I’m paranoid. I’m like, how do they know that I paid? Is someone gonna come talk to me when I sit down on my seat? Can’t. And then I realized, I realize, but I’m okay with it. I’m not complaining about it. By the way. No one would be like, he’s complaining cuz of No, I’m, I’m, I’m used to it. I’m used to always having a guilty conscience. Oh, I’m just totally used, used to it. And then I realized, oh shit, that’s the plight of the black man. And at that point I knew I am. That’s the cornerstone.
