A year or two ago, there was a stream on some guys channel where Homeboy Scotty made a very rare appearance and if I can recall correctly, he said something to the effect of:
Last I heard Scotty was actually trying to put his life together in an earnest way and this just seems to be the crux of the issue. Josh is always going to be Josh, there might be a new pizza topping or a new wand add-on but he’s never going to progress beyond the point he’s already been for a decade or more because he is perpetually 15 years old.
The homies move on with their lives. They grow as people and change. Some of them might grow as people and find themselves with responsibility, some might grow as people and find themselves in a jail cell. They are changing regardless and they don’t really wanna hang out with a guy who’s forever 15, shut in his house, showing them lesbian pornos at noon on a Sunday. The old homies are just gone and they ain’t coming back.
