The Roughhouse - Snap Classic

[upbeat music] Snap Studios.

[upbeat music] Okay, so I grew up not much of a fighter guy.

More of a flee the hostilities, go read a comic book type of guy.

But if they make you do something often enough, you get better.

And growing up as the only Black kid in rural Michigan, I get plenty of practice.

And the first rule that you learn about street fighting, not talking about boxing, you know, Mary Kate fights or any of that stuff.

The first rule is never, never fight a twin.

Never.

Under any circumstances.

Why? Because they grow up with their own personal sparring partner from the womb.

That's why.

Forget 10,000 hours of practice.

They have a whole lifetime.

And if you do manage to somehow, some way to beat up a twin brother, 90% of the time, do you know who's standing right there? The other twin brother.

So now you gotta pull two miracles.

No, no.

Avoid.

The second thing you learn is that 90% of the time, whoever throws the first punch wins, right? So when you know the fight is coming, when there is absolutely no way to avoid it, when the evil bully is telling you to meet him down by the cascade farm at such and such a time.

No.

For what? So he can gather up his buddies? So he can find something hard to hit you with? No.

The time is now.

Right now.

Buck up, lean in, smile, and then swing as hard as you can.

And you swing again and again.

Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow.
