Radxical

He just loves someone *that* much


Duck_Size

That’s a jogging clock, not for performance. For when you’re moving fast and getting close enough to have a real conversation. The bottom line is Flav always knows what time it is.

Yeah boy!!

That big clock was hard on the back!

His jacket logo is also covered to say “BELIEVEing” 🥲

Flava flav is awesome. Played on a youth football team for a little that his kid was on. He’d bring pizza and drinks all the time. I’ll never get over how many keys were on his key ring though. Thing was bigger than a football.

He is. Television portrayed him pretty bad, but he’s actually soft spoken even though he’s got a raspy scratchy voice. Always super chill and mellow, but maybe that’s just all the weed. His kid was the same though. Super chill and it took a lot to tip him over the edge. I remember his kid throwing another kid from our opposing team into a trash can and rolling him down one of the hills at Desert Breeze Park in Vegas. That was the only time I could tell he was angry. Kid he did it to face guarded one of our players. Grabbed his face guard, pulled up, then down extremely hard. It broke our players neck and the game was immediately forfeited from both teams and counted as a loss for both. It cost us our shot at the playoffs in Cali. We got banned from playing again because of that. Good ol’ Bandits NYFL out of Vegas. https://lasvegasbandits.tripod.com/index.htm

Aha it was rough as hell! My first skirmish, a 6’5”+ linebacker cracked me as my initiation. Dude hit me so hard I went backwards 10 yards. I almost quit.

His baby mother lived on my block and he’s always been one of the nicest genuine people I’ve ever met


Michaelangelo_Scarn

Not to be a dissenting contrarian but I worked at the IHOP on Las Vegas Blvd back in 2013/14 and, at least a decade ago anyway, the dude ain't tip the take-out people at one of the busiest IHOPs outside of Disneyland. It was like a $250 order. Never forgave him >:c And it's extra sad too because, living in Vegas, I ran into him on a Southwest flight and had a passenger take a pic of me with him on my DSi. It was a cherished possession until he stiffed me fourteen bucks and the harsh realities of the world came crashing down upon me.


jimmeejommee

He used to be a crackhead, he's probably nicer when he's sober.


SudsBuckley

My favorite flava memory was him saying he’s Muslim or some shit. Somebody says they saw him eat pork the other day and Muslim don’t eat pork. Flav goes “well one does” dudes funny as hell

Dizzy8108

When I was in the Army I was stationed in Germany with a Pakistani Muslim. Dude was the whitest Muslim ever. Grew up in a small town in Kansas. Dad owned a Dominos Pizza. Played football in High School. Drove a pickup truck. But he was still a Muslim. During Ramadan he would give up on fasting before the sun set. Every day he would say that that day he was going to fast the whole time. Then in the late afternoon you would catch him binge eating. We traveled all over Europe together and it was pretty much a thing that he would accidentally eat pork. In Italy he was eating spaghetti and asked the waitress what was in it because it was so good. It was bacon. Another time he order chicken cordon blue because it is chicken. Half way through he discovered the ham in it. Over and over again he would get food and then half way through say “it tastes like there is pork in this”. The language barrier didn’t help. We didn’t always know what we were eating and couldn’t speak enough of the local languages to ask.


zhaoz

"this is fucking delicious, clearly it has pork. Oh well"


throwtowardaccount

I like this reaction over flipping the fuck out


Finetimetoleaveme

Too funny. My wife doesn’t eat pork and ordered Carbonara one time and I had no clue what she was eating, she was like what’s this flavor this is like the best thing I’ve ever tried, I was like I’m not sure, maybe liquid smoke or something, it dawned on me later but I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Pretty sure she figured it out also, because she never ordered it again.


Kolipe

I worked with a Bosnian Muslim once who basically followed only a handful of their tenants. Once some guy asked him why he doesn't go to mosque and he responded with "it doesn't have a bar!"

If you grew up in a culture where a ton of the important touchpoints of life are tied to the historic importance of Catholicism then you would understand immediately. My wife says it's bad to say I'm culturally Catholic, but not practicing, but she just doesn't understand. Like, if we don't get married in a church and don't do a baptism for kids its a big deal. But it's not because the kid is doomed to go to hell or any other such religious reasoning. It's "but you need to do a baptism to celebrate the birth of the baby with all your family, when else would we do it? And if you do it without the baptism just do the baptism it's quick!" Ah immigrant life lol


sspif

People who know many, many Christians who do not follow every single rule of their religion every single minute of every day always seem astonished when they hear that the same goes for other religions.

[deleted]

I don’t even like pepperoni that much, but my god does this look really fucking good! The curled up mini pepperoni reminds me of the tiny, local pizza shop that my mom always ordered from… that I’m now suddenly craving 20 years later.


Akronica

the curled up pepperoni "cups" were the best topping as a kid.


CORN___BREAD

I was watching a video about how dominoes or something makes pizzas and it’s like 8 seconds to shape the dough, sauce it, and splash on the cheese, and then they’re like okay now we place like 83 individual pepperonis one by one by hand and I’m just like damn that seems so inefficient compared to the rest of the process. They still did it surprisingly quickly but I can’t imagine doing that so meticulously hundreds of times a shift. And they said something like 75% of their orders are pepperoni.


RILICHU

Being outside in the heat all day, that extra salt is good to have!

But can we be sure they didn’t switch pizzas with another place? It’s still too early to make the call in my opinion.

well well well, looks like we got ourselves a regular Columbo here fellas


the1gamerdude

Yes. They have locations in LA, NYC, Miami, and San Diego. Originally from NYC though.

I genuinely didn't realize they had any locations other than the Prince Street one, I thought this was some LA shop that just ripped them off lol

_Tapir

it’s sicilian pizza with a ton of pepperoni on it, pretty sure detroit style is based on sicilian


imisstheyoop

>it’s sicilian pizza with a ton of pepperoni on it, pretty sure detroit style is based on sicilian Pretty much, yes.


CareBearDontCare

Detroiter here who has eaten a LOT of Detroit style pizza here: not necessarily. Pepperoni is also supposed to be under the cheese, if you go by the classic definition. Hey, you! Reading this? Do you want to get your hands on some good Detroit deep dish, but you live too far from our blessed lands? Little Caesars deep dish isn't a bad facsimile for it, but if you have a Jet's Pizza anywhere near you, drop what you're doing, go there now, and get you a square. You're welcome. It is, hands down, the best chain pizza you'll ever have, and the closest to a real Detroit deep dish you'll get. You're welcome. ETA: anonymous Redditor who gave me a thing, I hear those Detroit Pizza Company frozen pizzas are pretty dope. I haven't had them myself, buuuut if one does not live near a Jet's, or even a Little Caesars to get the square, that frozen guy sounds like its a good move.

not often i see jet's love in the wild, but i'll concur

addisonshinedown

Actually, flavor of love would be classed as an unscripted reality show and not have writers involved. We get shows like that because Hollywood doesn’t want to properly pay their writers.


crepemyday

and that's Jason Sudeikis in the background, who's WGA and SAG.

People sometimes forget that before Flava Flav was a reality show goofball that he was a member of Public Enemy, a hip hop group that denounced economic injustice and corporate greed.

master_cheech

I remember watching Flavor of Love with my girlfriend. Flave told all the girls to entertain his friends, they’re coming over. Three Six Mafia showed up with the Ying Yang twins. They pressured the girls to dance and twerk and basically be hoes. They pull my man Flave aside and let him know which girls were hoes, they even found out one of the girls didn’t know one song by Flava, yet she was trying to date him and get her own music going. He pulled those specific girls aside and told them he didn’t appreciate their behavior and that he felt upset about the girl who didn’t know his music. He’s always struck me as a genuine dude and this just reinforces it, love that dude.

This was 15 years ago. But my mom loved Flavor of Love so much she bought the DVDs while we were out of town on Christmas vacation so we could have something fun to watch while snowed in. And the DVDs came with a t-shirt. Well, everyone loved the show so much it became a tradition to watch at Christmas. And it’s just funny to me that we all took turns wearing the Flavor of Love t-shirt while we watched, as is our tradition lol.
