27:59
too, you don't have dangerous that is? Yeah, you kill
28:02
someone easily. It's amazing
28:04
that nothing like that ever happened to us. We
28:07
also do bumper, you
28:10
know, it'd be snowing, it'd be like three inches
28:12
on the road, cars we'd drive
28:14
it by and we'd run behind them and hold
28:16
onto the bumper and just ski. Are you staying
28:18
on skiing on your feet like that? Yeah, just
28:21
holding like this and just holding onto the bumper
28:23
as they go. Here it is, right? Yeah, so
28:25
dangerous. Cars are going faster than that in
28:28
our neighborhood. They're going very fast. Yeah, and they
28:30
didn't even know, like we didn't even know who
28:32
was driving the car. They didn't even
28:34
know that we'd jump on. We'd just grab on and go.
28:36
Just jump, like skateboard kids would back in the day. But
28:38
you're doing it on your feet, not a sled or anything
28:40
like that. And then at some point, you
28:43
know, you just fall off and you roll, whatever, or if they
28:45
have to make a turn or they start speeding up.
28:47
All right, look, I'm going to make you tell a
28:50
story you've told me before, just because I love it.
28:52
Tell me the story about what happened with your brother
28:54
and it was a construction, wasn't it? Yeah,
28:57
yeah. Yeah, we're doing construction. I hated it. You
28:59
know, I was born like, I don't want to do this stuff. And
29:02
my brother's like, Hey, close off this pantry, you
29:04
know, put some sheetrock up, you know, we're
29:06
fixing up these old houses, going to resell them. So
29:08
my guard, so we had to put sheetrock up and,
29:11
you know, just close the whole little area
29:13
off of a kitchen. So before they did that, I
29:15
got, you know, I'm just in there and I'm like,
29:18
so I got a black magic marker. I remember like a
29:20
big mark and I just wrote this whole note on the
29:22
wall. Like I hated my name is, I forget
29:24
what the name I used, but I go, I
29:26
used to live in this house and I dated
29:28
it like five years before or something. I
29:31
go, I lived in this house and, you
29:33
know, my grandmother got really sick and we didn't have a
29:35
lot of money and I didn't know what to do. I
29:37
wanted to take care of her and, you
29:40
know, she got really, she was in a lot of pain.
29:42
So I wound up killing her to get her
29:44
out of pain and I didn't have any money for a funeral. We
29:46
didn't have any family. So I buried her
29:48
under the house, under the crawl space. So
29:51
if someone ever finds this, could you please give her
29:53
the proper burial? And
29:55
I went under the crawl space and I put a stick
29:57
like a cross. I made a cross. And
30:00
I met across and I stuck it like I crawl
30:02
way back there in the dirt and I stuck it
30:04
in there way in the corner So they got a
30:06
flashlight from back here. Yeah. Oh, yeah, Mike. I might
30:08
as well go, you know, I'm gonna do a joke
30:10
I might as well I gotta put across so I
30:12
remember the one the other construction workers like that's fucked
30:14
up And then we just closed it off paying it
30:16
and that was it and that cut to
30:18
like five years later I'm living down in Florida at
30:20
the time. I was like, hey dude, he goes We
30:24
got a problem like what's the problem? You know that remember you
30:26
wrote that note cuz my brother knew I did it He goes
30:28
what's wrong with you? I don't know. He goes
30:30
remember that note you wrote he goes Yeah, well the cops
30:32
came to my house and they want you
30:34
to fly back to New Jersey because they want to question
30:36
you I go about I do you told him I did
30:38
it he goes. Yeah, he goes I got a family I'm
30:40

30:44
like, yeah, man You got to come back. They're really
30:46
man and there could be some charges I'm like freaking
30:48
out like dude, you can't and then he started laughing
30:50
he goes No But what happened was the cops what
30:53
someone bought the house and they took that wall down
30:55
and they found it They cut the piece of sheetrock
30:57
out brought it to the police station and they
31:00
traced it where the sheetrock was was
31:02
brought in like 1988
31:05
or whatever was Traced it when it
31:07
was born So, you know when it was
31:09
whoever bought that then they look back to who owned the house
31:12
My brother owned the house that time and they showed up
31:14
my brother's house He just had a baby's married and
31:16
they knocked on his door But they knocked on my
31:18

32:28
that and then you don't even know
32:30
if you'll be alive when it pays off it
32:32
could have been 50 years I was gonna pay
32:34
