Getting Out With Jesse Xander
Raw, unfiltered, conversations and interviews filled with laughter.
Getting Out is Hosted By Me, Jesse Xander, Im a singer/songwriter, musician, and audio engineer…..oh yeah, I’m also an ex con and a recovering addict. I spent 3 years in prison, during the covid pandemic and locked down 24 hours a day for the majority of my time. So every day is a gift that I have to remind myself to even open.
I spent most of my young life in the Entertainment industry. I had the privilege to work with artists such as The Sugar Hill Gang, Biz Markie, Poppa Don, Inner Party System, Ty Wiz and many others but before I knew it I was in sooo deep I didn't think id ever be able to GET OUT, let alone repair all the damage I caused. But I’m alive and I’m free.
I started Getting Out to tackle topics such as addiction, mental health and Prison Life-which comes with stories of loved ones passing and a lot of pain. But also stories of redemption and over coming. GETTING OUT gives us a chance to look at ourselves our past mistakes, and hopefully help someone that is dealing with something similar.. Or maybe you’re just interested in what prison life is like and want a good laugh? We got you.
Learn to laugh at the person you were, use your mistakes as your personal super power.
So lets get out together!

Speaker 3Well, I always got. Oh, you always have to. Why do you have to bring my bag into?
Speaker 2this Because everyone's going to ask. You know, I got like Just the reason we were around. We didn't do an episode because Adam was a little sick.
Speaker 3Yeah, I was in the hospital because I had like diabetes stuff.
Speaker 2Isn't that crazy. Coram said diabetes and you look great.
Speaker 3I'm feeling okay.
Speaker 2You are so much lighter than me and in better shape, and yet you would think, yes, you would think that I would be the one with diabetes.
Speaker 3But well, you know like yes, so you're like a powerhouse over here keep on, keep on trucking, you know. So I got my lip balm, you know well, male lip balm. I'll show for the camera.
Speaker 2Look at that okay, what is that for? So that's for like you know, say like when your lips get chapped okay bam, bam oh, but wait, but I thought we were talking about diabetes no, you know it could go with diabetes.
Speaker 3People shit diabetics get the lips chapped oh yeah, is it more? Is it a thing like oh yeah, they get like dry skin and stuff like that. You know, you always got to be on your p's and q's. Uh, you know, and it's me personally, I don't like to have chapped lips and then you got-.
Speaker 2I don't like to chapped lips either, dude, I'm not a big fan?
Speaker 3Not really. I don't think most people are big fans of that no right, johnny. No chapped lips I don't like chapped lips Nah.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3All right, and then I got my insulin. I keep my bags, fashion, fashion.
Speaker 2And you were pretty sick up in there.
Speaker 3Oh, back to that, back to that, back to that.
Speaker 2Hold on. My dad went for heart surgery like three times.
Speaker 3That's why it's been a little tough over on me, oh three times.
Speaker 2Yeah, bro, back to back to back.
Speaker 3That's a lot.
Speaker 2And because, bro, how do you know you're going for heart surgery and you have a medication that you have to take before you go, and then you run out of it and then just my dad's my dad's the same way.
Speaker 3He's like he even like threw away pills during while after his surgery. Where I'm over here cleaning all his little garbage bag and I see at the bottom of the can there's mad pills just thrown away, I'm like what are you doing? You feel terrible right now and this is the reason why, because your blood pressure's probably through the roof. You know you don't feel good and you're throwing away the pills, what like?
Speaker 2dude. He ran out and didn't say anything to my mom not nothing anyway. He expected my mom to do it, so they had to keep him there for a whole four or five hours extra to run the medication through him.
Speaker 3The IV or something. Yeah, to get it back into the system.
Speaker 2But he didn't even stay at night at him. Don't get people nauseous over here, johnny, you know Ha.
Speaker 3Ha, I can't, I can't. I know, I can't, I can't. I know, like the older generation with like how they do their like medicine is nuts. Like my mom, she just went to the hospital, just came out today, like you know she had, like I don't know, like an infection or something, and you know she's just thinking like yeah, she worked too hard or she stretched her leg out like they went into the hospital. She's over here on iv fluids like um medicine. So that's crazy. Now she's out of the hospital, she's over here on iv fluids like um medicine so that's crazy.
Speaker 3Now she's out of the hospital, she's all good, but she's no longer I just feel like everybody's fucked up, everyone's falling apart.
Speaker 2That's how I feel, man, they're sick. I got sick too, for the like three or four days. I was just mate I, I think it was because have you ever, like, cleaned your ear out. Yeah, the next day gotten extremely sick. Yes, I don't know why, but it happens to me a lot. I've had that before.
Speaker 3But it's like the funniest thing. It's like you know, you feel like you just cleaned your ear out. You feel clean.
Speaker 2Next day, you're like ah, I feel terrible.
Speaker 3My sinus is killing me. The thing is, I think you need it.
Speaker 2Yes, wax is supposed to be something that like helps you from getting like an affection in your ear. I guess I know, I know that is what it is you gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 3But you know what the thing I can do? Say like I went to the hospital in New York, I went to like Staten Island University, okay, but um yo, the food was good, the food was fucking fire. I'd grill chicken every day.
Speaker 2What did we get to the food order? What? How did we get to the food?
Speaker 3How did we get to the food? Yeah, I just was just talking about, like, my stay at the hospital.
Speaker 2Oh, the food sucks at the hospital. I was just wondering how we transitioned.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, oh my bad. I was just you one night and I had cheesecake for dessert. It was like a top-notch service over there.
Speaker 2It depends. That's why you went to. All right, that's why you went over there.
Speaker 3I didn't go there for the meals. I didn't go there for that.
Speaker 2That's a top-notch service though.
Speaker 3Yeah, no, I did, because you know what I went to and sac meridian out here and that's where my dad went, and they bow and you know the thing that gets me going. It's like I showed him twice and my feet, like you know, they're like oh well, what are you doing for this? And I'm like it's been three months and my freaking toe is still not like healing, like doesn't that raise any suspicion? And I'm a diabetic I can't believe it. You know what?
Speaker 2I mean exactly.
Speaker 3And then, as soon as I got to new y them, I'm like, yeah, this has been like four months and nothing's happened, like I'm doing the right thing, I'm cleaning it, I'm putting the gauze on it, the bandages, the medicine, and it's not healing. And the lady was like, all right, well, you're to like bacteria or some shit, but I think I had a low-lying bacterial infection from when I went through my head, went through a windshield ah, they say that yeah, something if your neck gets hurt yeah, yeah, yeah, you get definitely some type of like brain injury yeah, so like I must have been sick for a while and it was like you know, I know it sounds like very weird, but nah.
Speaker 3I really hate talking about my toes, bro. It's the worst because I'm like my toes definitely did save my life, but it's like you know, I hate when people are like what were you in the hospital for?
Speaker 2Well, you got to understand, dude.
Speaker 3See, you may think that sounds like you know. I understand. I'd rather be in the hospital for a broken arm than oh yeah, I just got my fucking toe fixed.
Speaker 2I understand how you feel that. You're like, oh my fucking toe, you know, but you got to. There are so many people going through that dude.
Speaker 3I know, but when I feel like I talk about toes and diabetes, people think like ah, shit, so we had to cut it off by the knee. You know that's when I start to. You know like I'm like ah, you know.
Speaker 2It's hilarious. I think you did the right thing get a second opinion. Everyone's got to get a second opinion that is huge.
Speaker 3Even in anything. Your mom says something, ask your dad. It means you might be going across.
Speaker 2I try, but I don't even want to answer. Dude, that was a huge thing that I learned too. Another big lesson always get a second opinion. Talk to someone else, ask advice.
Speaker 3Yeah, because if it doesn't seem right to you, ask somebody else, Because sometimes, like I always ask for a second opinion, even on ideas, Because I'm like yo, hear me out, Do I sound crazy? And then I'll tell them my idea and they're like no, that sounds completely normal and I'm like all right, cool, so I'm not crazy for thinking this and I'm completely right. So now I feel good.
Speaker 2Now I'm better, now I feel whole, all better.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Thank you, that's all I wanted. I feel like I'm. I'm with you, I agree A hundred percent, a hundred percent.
Speaker 2It's just the fact that I I've went through it with the bacterial infection and recently I told you about my jaw and all and like yeah, yeah, going back through the episodes and watching me like because my mom mentioned something, I remember my probation officer mentioned something, carmine said something to me like multiple times and I really don't care what other people think, except people that are close to me. So when I heard it from multiple people that I care about, I really started like what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 2yeah, I don't like watching yeah so when I was looking through that, the episodes I'm like there is some I'm doing something weird in my mouth that I've never done before and I realized that it's happened when I hurt my shoulder and what I'm doing is that I'm put like because we talked about this yeah, like all connected it's all the stress whenever remember when in old movies and westerns and shit you're getting a bullet or something taken out they're like give them something to bite down on and they're like all right, bite down on this, it helps with pain, because that's where all your stress is, is in your jaw.
Speaker 2Oh, exactly, so when I'm fucking nervous or I'm concentrating, I'm like you know what the worst thing is.
Speaker 3It's like you know, it's like I get like that too, because when I'm trying to concentrate on something, I'll start really clenching my jaw, to the point where I got to loosen my jaw up and relax it and massage it, because I'm like you know, I sometimes feel like as if I took a molly or something.
Speaker 2You know what I mean.
Speaker 3Exactly.
Cultural Background and Water Filtration
Speaker 2Exactly Something they're like yeah what the fuck is going on with it? It's called TMJD. I just found this out. Timid, yeah, timid.
Speaker 3It's like it's, it's, it's, it's a big word, but we call it for sure.
Speaker 2But because it's it's a, it's a disorder. So of course they're going to throw D on the end, but yeah. Or D on the end, but yeah. So he told me he's like you just got to be more cognizant of your face because as we grow older we get so used to our facial expressions and it becomes just a habit of how you react normally, like when you're used to just grinding your teeth when you're concentrating, well, even just do grind your teeth when you sleep, because I remember my dentist gave me a frigging mouth guard for like when I sleep Me too.
Speaker 3I never used it. I never used it. It was like a bottom mouth guard.
Speaker 2I wish I did. What the hell am I using? I got to use it. I got to get one.
Speaker 3I ended up losing it. Yo, you know it's like so funny. So you do all these preventive measures when you for, and then you're 30 and your back is like a question mark and your teeth are nuts and you're like I wish I did that.
Speaker 2I wish I did everything that they told me and I did everything that my mom said I should Exactly. She always told me not to put so much gel I used to wear. You remember that shit.
Speaker 3Everyone used to use in their hair back in the day. What like LA Madison, yeah.
Speaker 2And especially the one that fucking the stick. Do you remember the stick dude? Yeah, the one that like they used to put the wave like it was just the front of their hair and they would just like it was a stick of glue and they would just fucking put it on the front of their head and like, flip their hair up and it would cause like a fucking little. Everything was straight.
Speaker 3Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it looked like yeah.
Speaker 2I know what you're talking about, but you would see the glue like I know.
Speaker 3I know. I know that people used to do the flip. It'd be the flip.
Speaker 2It'd be the most pointiest I did it, but I was never one of the guys that combed. I've never used a comb before in my life. I would always use them. That was one thing my brother told me. I just thought it looked crazy. People would just comb their tits.
Speaker 3I love them.
Speaker 2You look good because you have an Elvis type of membrane. You had the Elvis hair going on when you flicked it back. That's your style. You look good like that.
Speaker 3I can't pull that shit off my hairline was already receding, so I had to like do whatever I had to do. Imagine you trying to do my flip.
Speaker 2so like I tried it. I definitely wanted to. I was like yo, that would be awesome if I could do like some Christian Bale shit, Pull my hair all the way back.
Speaker 3I would love it, dude, but I can't do get thinner as you get older. I don't know if it's moving to Jersey and getting this Jersey water on my hair. It is. It's a big for fact. You're a good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because showering out in New York my hair feels great. I come out to Jersey, my hair starts feeling like it's thin. I see pieces of my hair in the fucking shower. I'm like what the hell is going on. Am I'm like what the hell's going on? Am I going bald? But I have nobody bald in my family. Really, yeah, I got nobody bald in my family. So like I don't think I'm going to go bald, but like we put this type of John, what was the code that we put in?
Speaker 3water filter oh yeah, a water filter. I'll put a water filter, but it's at the top of, like you know, the faucet. It's actually like on the faucet, so it's not even like.
Speaker 3It's not like a water filter, because we have a filtration system for the house water okay but like this one's like right when it comes out the wall, when it comes out the freaking faucet, because like I don't know what's going on with these pipes out here, I don't know what's going on. So since I've been using bro, my hands feel clean, my whole body feels super clean. Don't feel like I got like some sort of like calcium or whatever oh, so you got the filter for the actual shaft.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dude in prison. They would say that to me too. They would say the prison. They said the water is very hard, yeah, and I didn't understand what they.
Speaker 3Yeah, you get like calcium buildup, bro.
Speaker 2It's gross feeling bro dry it makes you feel so dry yes, yes, it was really bad, so you gotta moisturize. Oh, that's a good, I gotta get one of those dude, I definitely yeah, water show filtration.
Speaker 3You just like put it on the top. And then we got ourselves a wand that johnny half broke and, um, what's the one the wand is like you know, like all right, so we have the one that comes out. That's like rainwater comes out the top. And then you got the wand that you could do your back and your ABC and all that other stuff, like you know, the one with the hose, the wand it's not like a wizard's wand, it's a shower wand. So not a wizard wand, not a wizard wand. You have a fucking grand wizard wand, a grand wizard wand, and me for having a fucking grand wizard wand.
Speaker 3I'm over here, I'm like are you a wizard, harry? And he's like I don't know.
Speaker 2He's got. You're probably. You didn't tell me you had a fucking grand wizard wand.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have a nice grand wizard wand and it's in our, uh, it's in our bedroom.
Speaker 2So tell everybody where you guys from. All right, what's the backstory? What are my backstory? You guys are originally from America. No, all right.
Speaker 3So I was born in England. Boston, that's what I was going to say. Never Boston. Johnny's not from Boston.
Speaker 3Johnny wants to be from Boston, johnny can be from fucking Johnny said he's from Guam one time I believe that I believe it, a time I believe I believe it 100. So, um, yeah, so I was born in england and then I moved over to america like new york, staten island, of all places. Um, when I was like four and um, johnny must have been like maybe like one or something, because we moved over in 98 and uh, so then I did all my school, I grew up over here, I grew up in in Great Kills, staten Island.
Speaker 2Johnny, what are you doing?
Speaker 3Yeah, no blowing your wacky tobacco into the mic.
Speaker 2All right for everyone wondering. He has an ASMR thing, dude, so just don't worry about it. I'm going to try to stop him as much as I possibly can.
Speaker 1Yeah he really tried. It won't happen again.
Speaker 3He has his own line of ASMR. He yeah, he really tried, he has his own line of ASMR. He tries to peek in. It's my line. He tries to poke in. Sometimes no free commercials, John. Yeah, that's exactly what we're trying to do, yeah we're not having you give free ASMR on our stuff.
Speaker 1Okay, don't subscribe to my YouTube.
Speaker 3No, but if we are going to subscribe to it, it isn't going to be JohnnyTheBrit my YouTube, no, but if we are going to subscribe to it, it isn't going to be JohnnyTheBrit at YouTubecom, but you know. But so how are you doing?
Speaker 2Go ahead.
Speaker 3So you're from England? Yeah, so I'm from England. I grew up in a predominantly Italian neighborhood.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 3And so that's how I get like this whole mixed up, mashed up, parted ass accent. So it's like everyone always asks me if I'm boston, or uh, the way I look, they ask me if I'm albanian because I got a big head, or russian or something I could see russian, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3But like I'm just like a weird mumbled up, you know, frigged up. English norwegian, fella, my mom's norwegian, my dad's from england, gotcha, you know, my mom's from Brooklyn, so you know, like I was born in England, came over here and then I went back over there. Well, my mom and dad wanted to move back and we did too. Why not Like after I got out of high school, we went over there and we only stayed there for about a year and we moved back because it didn't work out with my mom's job, because she's supposed to get more schooling or something like that. It was something she works in, the medical field, so it was something that she needed to get to work out there and it would have been. It would have been too long for us, it would have cost too much money for us to have her go back to school for a year or two, and you know it wouldn't work. So as a family we moved back.
Speaker 3But me, I made friends out there like I. Um, one of my best friends was like this uh guy who grew a ton of bud and sold a ton of bud to all these, like you know, surrounding neighborhoods and he was a really big fella. I became really best friends with him and, um, like my next time I went back over there I ended up living with him and kind of like running a trap house for like a whole year in england. Really, yeah, I told my mom I was like working on a farm or something, but uh, I I was really like running the streets of manchester, like trapping out, growing mad pot and stuff like that. That's awesome. So then, like you know, then I moved back over here and stuff, and you know I just I've been back and forth a couple times but wish I could just, uh, you know, get both of them. It'd be fun to have them both together, but you know we're separated by the ocean.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3But yeah, that's basically me in a nutshell. That's awesome. You know you'll find out some more throughout the episodes.
Speaker 2Yeah, of course we're going to get into, like you know, a little bit of Johnny's background.
Speaker 3Yeah, jonathan, tell us about yourself. I want to know. Yeah what's going on.
Speaker 1John Um born in England. Okay, came to America in like 98.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's basically what.
Speaker 2I said he's his brother.
Speaker 3Johnny. So yeah our story does line up a little bit. You guys are like adopted.
Speaker 2I would think that you guys lived in the same family.
Speaker 1Yeah Well, lived there for eight months. Okay, came back, lived in Staten Island and West Brighton In West Brighton and then moved to New Dorp. That's nice.
Speaker 3What the fuck is New Dorp? Are these neighborhoods? What are these? Oh, those are Sorry West Brighton, because I definitely know West Brighton's like half the hood.
Speaker 1West Brighton is a quarter of hood, a quarter of Spanish, a quarter white neighborhood of Staten Island, new York. Okay, and then we move to New Dorp, which is predominantly white and white. And then in 2022.
Speaker 3I like to know the statistics.
Speaker 1We moved to Jersey.
Speaker 3That's nice to know.
Speaker 1That's my life, that's your life?
Speaker 3That sounds like a great life. John, what about the time you went to utah? Or? Uh, oh, yeah, I went backpacking in new mexico, or, uh, you know, you really missed a bland over here. Wait, man, you went backpacking in mexico, yeah, no, yeah, went backpacking new mexico like I did. I did a backpacking trip where I did like a hundred mile trip and but johnny, a couple years later, went with like boy scouts, like I went with boy, like I went with Boy Scouts, but he went with R-True and, yeah, he did about what did you do? Like 100 miles or something like that.
Speaker 1I forget.
Speaker 3Yeah, it was about a 100-mile trek. Why am I telling you stories, john? My story that is for another time. That's awesome, dude.
Speaker 2For another time, okay, all right, yeah, yeah, we got to talk about you know, like just Johnny, being like the top echelon. You know what I mean the top echelon of everybody.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, john, you got to like. You know, you're like sitting right next to Biggie Notorious over there.
Speaker 1You know what I mean, you know? Oh yeah, we'll get to know everybody.
Speaker 2We got a couple more new faces going to be coming in with us. We're introducing people.
Speaker 1You never said that to me. What'd you say? You never told me that.

Speaker 3You're not getting pushed out, jonathan, you're still going to be a button.
Speaker 2Man Be my mixing guy, and I think I've figured out why I'm lagging a little bit. I figured it out. I figured it out.
Speaker 1Oh we are lagging a little bit.
Speaker 2But no, it doesn't matter. We're good Because I'm not moving as much, because I'm a fat fuck, so people don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 3And I'm just like y'all, it's not moving, it's not moving.
Speaker 2But look at it, it still looks like a mother. No, it's not, dude. But you gotta also understand too. When we're done and we hit the Folks this shit, God bless everybody that does the streaming. You know what I'm saying? That's all I'm saying. And does video, because this is a motherfucking bit.
Speaker 3But Does it catch up, like, say, when you put it into the camera? That's what I'm saying it catches up, I think that when we're done For us. Looking at it, for the video it looks like, it's like, but oh, okay, that's what I'm trying to tell you motherfuckers.
Speaker 2You guys are bugging me.
Speaker 3Well, you know what Like.
Speaker 2I get worried like play-doh, but you gotta understand. Even right now, if you look at me, john, you put me on there. See, guys, if your audience is looking like my fat ass, looks pixelated.
Speaker 3My lips, his lips, don't look like his own lips. He looks like a.
Speaker 1PS2 character. What are you talking about?
Speaker 3He looks like he's from one of those old movies. Yeah, why movies?
Speaker 1Yeah, why I look great in character.
Speaker 3I look like GTA 3. Dude looks like a GTA 64 character.
Speaker 1I look fine, you look great. Dude looks like a. Gta 4 character he looks like one of those Kung Fu movies. You just see it because of the computer, that's all. Oh, it looks like Kung Fu Panda.

Speaker 2It's going to. That's exactly that's what it's gonna do. It's gonna go. I hope, I hope so. If not, then we gotta do this, we gotta like fucking. Then next time I gotta switch it to like a different thing. If anyone knows why my shit is lagging, and I think yeah, drop a comment below.
Speaker 2Thank you comment below because I think it's because why does my fucking phone not lag, but but an $800 camera he's gonna fucking lag. Doesn't make any sense. I think it's because I might have it as a media capture. Oh, it's supposed to be a video capture.

I think they gave me like a half a habit after they fixed my toes. That's what they do, bro. Oh my God, it was horrible. For like two days I was just feeling like terrible. That's not right. I didn't find it cool. I didn't find it cool one bit. I was like, wow, thanks for giving me like a half a withdrawal.
Speaker 2That really isn't fucking cool at all. I hate that shit.
Speaker 3You know what. But I can't complain because, you know, while I was on vacation in the hospital, I got good food, good service, papa John's and.
Speaker 2How'd you get Papa John's?
Speaker 3Hey, you know you can work very you know intricate fingers in that hospital Really. Yeah, you know you talk to this person, talk to that person, it's all like. You know they're all connected in St Nylons and plus it's something called like DoorDash and uh.
Speaker 2Oh, johnny, I never heard of DoorDash before. Have you heard of DoorDash, johnny?
Speaker 1What's DoorDash?
Speaker 2All right wait. Grubhub DoorDash.
Speaker 3Uber Eats Non-sponsored.
Speaker 2Non-sponsored.
Speaker 3Just a question.
Speaker 2Just a question.
Speaker 3Which one do you use, john? Just a question which one do you use, grubhub? Do you use DoorDash, doordash, doordash. He's a DoorDasher. What are you? You know what I used to work for DoorDash, really, yeah, you make good money doing that DoorDashing.
Speaker 2Maybe before. I don't know about now. Yeah, you're done, covid, my car flying like all the way down to like keyport and shit. Well, I can't speak for covid times. I was, uh, you know I was, I was in a cell. Oh, read, read book you know that's nice, that's nice. So you guys were driving, fucking oh yeah panic, buying toilet paper. Oh I was.
Speaker 3I was like a nut job during covid. I was out going to gambling parties. I was out at night when there was curfew. At one point I didn't believe COVID was really a thing. I was like I was just in my own little demise, there's nobody out. It was nuts because there was just nobody out. I was out at night, always with my friends, and it was just like we had the whole world to ourselves.
Speaker 2Yeah, my boy said it was like fuck it.
Speaker 3It was pretty cool.
Speaker 2Literally just desolate.
Speaker 3I really, really. Yeah, it was like magical. At some points it was magical. Yeah, bro, imagine being in like a whole city, like by yourself.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, the city's probably crazy. I saw like the streets were empty. They were showing pictures.
Speaker 3I thought it was fake. Yo, it was absolutely beautiful, bro, seeing the city and not hearing any cars or nothing. It was crazy.
Speaker 1Even in Staten Island it was like barely any cars yeah, in Staten Island.
Speaker 3It's all on the street People with masks and shit. But then like at night, like you know, you got people are out. We went to bars and stuff and there was, like you know a little, what was the curfew at Staten Island? Oh, like, curfew was like there was like, say, like eight and nine or something like that. You had to be inside. But, um, you know it was like some BS. But you gotta think you got like nighttime workers or whatever. Me and my friends were always out and no cops ever said anything to us.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 3Nah, nah. We would always find like little spots to go to.
Speaker 2Like there was a lot of these pop-up gambling things and apartments and that, so we should just go to gambling parties. You know, I wish dude. Yeah, it's fun. I just can't believe how, when I got locked up, how it just shut down.
Speaker 3That does. It's a pretty big coincidence. So while I was doing playing you know texas hold'em you're over there making prison burritos, yeah oh yeah.
Speaker 2But I'm saying how does the world shut down and get a curfew when I get locked up?
Speaker 3I thought it was kind of I feel like as if it was a shutdown to make things bigger Because, look, I had to drop a friend off to LaGuardia Airport, maybe during or right after COVID, LaGuardia made a whole new extension and stuff like that. It felt like as if the world, we got too big for the world and the world had to catch up real quick. So during the whole COVID times, yo, they did a lot of construction during COVID. You wouldn't think, bro, they had construction people with masks on passing things to each other six feet away from each other, like nut jobs because they had to follow OSHA. It was nuts watching these videos.
Speaker 2Bro, I went down the street to where the new ShopRite is, because they're trying to connect those roads to Glenwood. No way, yeah, they made a bridge and all that shit. Yeah cool. They, yeah, they mean like a bridge, all that shit, yeah cool. They have. Amazon, too, is back there.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, that's across the street, right.
Speaker 2Bro. No, it's on the same side as fucking ShopRite it is. If you go down Jim Brown Road, don't go down that. That.
Speaker 2It's across the street, yeah, yeah, yeah, that U-turn it goes to you the one before it when ShopRite is. Don't go, just go straight, where it says like there's no entrance, instead of going to the gold shop, right, just go straight, don't make that u-turn, just go down that road. Yeah, I went down going down now is it? I? Yes, and it's. And a spider it's. I have video. It is ridiculous. A bridge, it spiders out. It's like four different roads, a dirt road.
Speaker 3There's, like it, amazon buildings, yeah, the size of fucking ant like yeah, I know, I know my mom tried to go down that road and it wasn't done. And, bro, there was craters in the road. Bro, we thought we were gonna, like, ruin our car. We thought we're gonna break an axle.
Speaker 2I shouldn't have done that because I was on the fucking.
Speaker 3Oh my God, that dirt road on the beginning. Oh my God, I thought I was going to destroy my car. It was hilarious, yeah.
Speaker 2I was on the Mercedes. I should not have done that. Oh my God. Yeah, my car was pretty bad.
Speaker 3Oh my God, yo your car could have got stuck in there.
Speaker 2I know, it was dirt road, because the dirt road that I went down I know was connected to our area, but I had a gate last time I saw it. No, but how is it connected? You can get through it?
Speaker 3I didn't know either In Glenwood Apartments. Shoprite is across the street from Glenwood Apartments.
Speaker 2No, you're thinking of that side. I'm talking about the other side.
Speaker 3I'm talking about where the new ShopRite is Behind the new shop right is Behind the new shop right is a thing of apartments, like houses, I'm saying. And then there's Amazon, things back there.
Speaker 2You know how you would make the U-turn for where we used to work, our old shop right, Instead of making the U-turn to go across the highway to the shop right you would go back on. Glenwood side, you would go all the way back.
Speaker 3Speed On the side, yeah, you would go all the way back when the Dunedin Enter side is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, just keep driving. I know what you're talking about. It's where all them pickup trucks, all that bump truck coming out of, go back there, oh wow, it's a fucking, it will blow your mind, Yo, over here. I seen on the map there's a golf course over here, no, that's where they, that's how big it is. They took over an 18 course 18 hole golf course and put Amazon buildings and all everything.
Neighborhood Changes and International Cuisine
Speaker 3You don't have to take me over there. We got to walk. Oh, I have a video. I took a video of something. It is fucking nuts. Yeah, we'll go over there. We'll go check it out. I thought I was going to get lost. I got scared. I want to see it face to face.
Speaker 2I got scared, dude. I was driving so long and so far back there because I was trying to find an entrance to my fucking neighborhood, oh my God. And I couldn't do it because I was like, all right, I'm right here.
Speaker 3They should definitely put an entrance to my neighborhood from here.
Speaker 2Yeah, they're doing it, because I see a sign that's down and it shows building 9, building 10. You could see that they're going to do it and it was done at one point because there was an old bridge, okay. So I guess they rebuilt the bridge, put it over and now they're going to Dude. It is crazy. The Amazon buildings are.
Speaker 3We got a lot of new construction going on.
Speaker 2That's what I'm saying. You're absolutely right. I drove to my old neighborhood. Everything looks different.
Speaker 3Everything, I don't care. It doesn't look like when I left. Oh yeah, no Same here. I go down to Great Kills, bro. I go down to Great Kills and it's just not the same neighborhood. It just feels like like. It just seems like what used to be a neighborhood, like you know. You just see, you don't even see kids running around, no more, it's nuts. It's sad. No, that part is sad. You don't see nobody doing nothing.
