Full Episode
Security guard sees me and he calls the police. But he's like, this guy's like scaling the walls. I get to the floor. The cops are there. But what had happened when I left and I was like on the balcony, I took off my condom, which I was wearing, and I didn't want to just throw it on the balcony. So I shoved it in my pocket.
So when I get to the ground floor, the cops come and they're asking me all these questions like, where were you? And I was like, I was in there. They're like, what room? And I'm like, I don't know. I'm like still pretty drunk from the night before. They're like, they're like, where are your shoes? I'm like, they're in the room. Like I had flip flops on or I left my flip flops in the room. Yeah.
And I remember the guy pulling him out and being like, and then all the other cops dying laughing. And then, yeah, then they took me to jail. All right, guys, we got Che here. My man, best afro I've ever seen. Thank you, dude. Yeah, I've been rocking this for a long time.
For real? How much work goes into that? Not a lot. It's honestly the easiest of all the hairstyles I've had. I had cornrows when I was younger. I had a mohawk when I was younger. I had dreads for a long time. Afro is the easiest. How tough was the mohawk? The mohawk was kind of a pain just because of my hair texture. To make it really good, it took a lot of work.
I would literally like, obviously, you have to keep the sides maintained. But then I would blow dry it. Then I would put hard gel in it. Then I would comb the hard gel out. And then I would wax it. But it was like a Spartan helmet. It was like feathered almost. Yeah, it looked sick, but I was like, I don't know, I was like 17 or something like that.
Which hairstyle had the most success with the ladies? Oh, probably just Afro because I've had Afro the longest. Afro has been the best for me. It gives me, it distinguishes me a little bit more. Like I've always found like success with ladies, it's better to go niche. Like you, like, I don't know, I guess if you're like the most handsome dude ever, you can just be like a generically hot guy.
But if you, if you're, if I, I need to angle a little bit more. So I'm like, if I get like a mustache, the Afro, I have more of a specific look. Say like 80% of women aren't really into it, but 20% are really into it. And that's, you just want to work on your niche. Smart, you're like a sniper with it. Yeah, yeah. Just play to your strengths. I love it though.
A lot of people try to attract everyone, but you're like, nah, screw that.
No, I've never been like that. I've never been attracted to everyone either. Right. You're picky. What's that? Are you picky with the ladies? I'm not super picky. I just like... I like chicks who are specific, who have like a look. Like my... I think my least thing I'm the least attracted to is like... for lack of a better word, like a bimbo, like a Barbie.
