a lot of the things that i've felt like i didn't think about it but now in
hindsight i can tell
well i almost died like one time i was at the i was at a gas station i went to
go
pump gas for my mom and i got held up at the gas station i was able to talk
myself out of it
what do you mean like just the person yeah well the guy he he held me up and
then he had a gun
pointed at me and then he said give me your money and then i gave him what i
had in my
in my wallet which was eight dollars but in my pockets i had 50 bucks
and then the old pocket yeah and then my sock i had 7 500 he asked me for his
for my wallet and i said
how are you gonna take my wallet and i had a picture of the uh virgin the guadalupe
the virgin
the mexican virgin mary and i showed it to him i said i'm gonna take this i
know like and then like
what did he say and then he i he looked at me and he he just went he smacked my
hand he said man
fuck you and then he got in his car and then dollars but what i thought was i
go you know
i know that was a loaded pistol like he could have in hindsight i go yeah
totally he could have
the virgin mary yeah i should have just given it to him you know what it was
though that wallet
the stuff that was in that wallet my grandma had given to me and she had
recently passed
yeah so i was just kind of like i don't want to do part with this you're making
me realize i've
always thought i have like a clip wallet that if somebody robbed me i would try
to remove the money
yeah like getting like a david copperfield because i just don't want to replace
all this
yeah you don't want to what are you going to do with my id yeah yeah what man i
think it's just
it's quicker you know give me your wallet that's where your debit and credit
card is or whatever
right yeah so i feel that let's see if you had the wherewithal to be like come
on man that's my wallet
i think i was so like in the my grandma had just passed so the minute there was
literally like a
virgin mary little card photo she put in there and she gave it to you she gave
it to me so i was just
like i'm not gonna give you my wallet you got my money you know that's a bold
thing to say after
handing a i mean i should have just given him the 50 bucks in my pocket you
know but i wasn't even
thinking that right with the adrenaline your heart had to be racing i mean we
can talk about it
casually but nobody with a gun pointed to this is uh relaxing and then one time
when i was 10 10 or 11
me and my friend this kid hector soto we used to go to this comic book store i
know yeah you know
hector soto it was it was a comic book store on the border between inglewood
and south central it was
called the cbc the comic book club this older like really sweet older black
nerd named earl used to run
that cover and um we were in there when it got robbed at gunpoint and and the
guy took money and what
was funny is he took a few comic books too that were like on the wall i don't
think he like expensive
one yeah he just correlated with those are expensive valuable and valuable and
then
you know he pointed the gun at us and everything
in hindsight you know i i know now that like in everything goes by so quickly
but i know in those
situations he's scared not scared he's scared yeah and i'm not saying that that
that he he i'm not
justifying his actions because he's a shitty person you're doing that yeah of
course yeah but you're
keeping in mind that he's still a person yeah he does there's a great bruce eric
caplan cartoon he
dressed for the new yorker and it's a guy robbing a couple and the you know the
bank the robber he's
not a bank robber the thief has a thought bubble and it says god these things
are always so awkward
yeah and i'm like what i like about that cartoon is he's not suddenly a thief
he's some guy yeah some
name steve yeah who likes this type ice cream and and took how many poops did
he poop that day yeah
when did he go to sleep and like what's his favorite movie yeah and then he
goes in it's not like
central casting no thief he's a guy yeah and his heart is jacked and he's
scared and he's worried
he could happen he could get hurt all that sort of stuff yeah he could get hurt
and then so as i got
older i understood like oh man he could have that people die that way by
accident you know by being
scared yeah you know about what your cousin said yeah exactly yeah exactly so
those are the three that
come to mind those situations i love that you're just like those three times
that i was at gunpoint come
to mind i'm like wow my my question doesn't seem so cute have you ever almost
almost bit it you're
like well three or four times i was shot at okay
