- 0:39houses away. Right as I'm pulling up, I see a guy parked in
- 0:44the middle of the street out of his car, yelling in the direction of
- 0:49the kids. It's like the kids are in front of the yard, like
- 0:52playing with the neighborhood kids. Like they're in my yard playing they got the
- 0:56basketball hoop up and a guy is like yelling at josiahs yo, chill dog.
- 1:04There was like he was like a little bit in front and there was
- 1:07cars behind him, and obviously they were stopped because he stopped in the middle
- 1:11of the road. I went in through the grass on the side, like
- 1:15through like two neighbors yards, parked right on my lawn, got out of
- 1:19the car. Long story short, Buddy drives away. There's a there was
- 1:26a cop there the whole time. I didn't even know, Bro, I
- 1:29was just so hot, Like you know what I'm saying, Like all I
- 1:32see is a dude like in like a like a like a menacing kind of
- 1:38posture towards my kids from far away. You know what I'm saying. That's
- 1:41all I see. So I just see red m h. The cop is
- 1:45like, yo, you know what happened? Like it didn't get physical,
- 1:47but like the cop is like, what happened? And I'm like I don't.
- 1:49Honestly, Bro, I don't even know what happened. I just seen
- 1:53him out the car yelling at the kids. And regardless of what's going on,
- 1:57this is a kid neighborhood. You know what I'm saying. Like kids
- 1:59are going to be out and about That's what it is. Deal with it,
- 2:02Bro, If you got to drive slower, drive slower, whatever the
- 2:06case is. Dog, If I ever see you talking to my kids,
- 2:08period, Bro, we have some serious problems home. I was hot,
- 2:14you know, I was out there screaming like a whole bunch of people came
- 2:16out the cop. Like after the cop when he came up, Dog,
- 2:21I was still so hot, Like I wasn't cursing at the cop, like
- 2:23you know what I'm saying, Like I wasn't getting husky with him. I
- 2:27was just like like just talking reckless, like to the cop, like when
- 2:30he was asking me what happened? You know what I'm saying? And I
- 2:32realized that like halfway through it, like, Dog, what am I?
- 2:36What am I saying? Right now? Yeah? Dog, I was just
- 2:39so hot. Bro, I was steaming, Bro. And that's you you
- 2:44pulling up to the crib seeing this happened. Dog, I'm pulling up.
- 2:46I'm a few houses away, and I see the guy out of his whip,
- 2:51and I see Josiah's there like on the sidewalk, and I see that
- 2:53the guy is like yelling like there's an issue, you know what I'm saying
- 2:55it, which was like when I came out, I'm like, Dog,
- 2:58what's the issue is is this your something? Like? Dog, don't be
- 3:01asking me no questions? What's the issue? Like I was ooh, man,
- 3:07I came out thirty eight hot right from the beginning, Bro, she
- 3:10it was Dog, it was like too much. I was already like stressed
- 3:14out because of the hamster thing. Emotions was already high. I'm like looking
- 3:19forward to getting home and this like it was like a crazy I'm like not
- 3:23even I'm like, bro, why did that even happen? Dog? Like
- 3:27you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it's like first of all for you
- 3:30to even get out your car to even like a kid kid find out what
- 3:34it was. Basically what it was is Buddy was tight because he had to
- 3:38like slow down because the ball went in the road. And then Josiah went
- 3:43to get the ball, and when he was coming back, he was just
- 3:46like, this is the kid saying it, so I you know, I
- 3:49take it with a grain of salt. But basically, like the guy had
- 3:52already passed and josiahs was doing like a funny little walk across the street and
- 3:58the guy like saw him a parent in the rear view and stopped, backed
- 4:02up and then got out like he had already passed. Yeah, like way
- 4:06the suite was already resolved. And then he just came back. Maybe he
- 4:10ain't like the little dance or whatever, and then he just came out,
- 4:14and they said that it's funny because I was talking about it with the kids
- 4:16afterwards, like at night, like after it all passed and everything, and
- 4:20they said that Buddy was yelling, like he got out of his car,
- 4:25husky. You know what I'm saying. The thing is, when I got
- 4:27there, it was very very cordial, you feel me, Like it wasn't
- 4:30It wasn't the same vibe apparently, like I didn't even know that he was
- 4:33yelling, you know what I'm saying, because when I got there, I
- 4:34just came out hot and he just you know, he piped down real quick,
- 4:40and it was like one of them situations where like when I heard afterwards,
- 4:43I'm like, bro, I'm glad I didn't even see what happened,
- 4:46because like I might even react to worse, like if I would actually like
- 4:49seeing the situation unfold, you know what I mean. Yeah, I mean,
- 4:55he wasn't gonna pipe down from the fact, just from the moment,
- 4:57the fact that he actually took the time to avert to feed his ego and
- 5:00yell at some kids, And that's exactly what I told my kids. I'm
- 5:03like the fact that he even got out his car, let me know off
- 5:06rip that he was wrong, because there's no situation where you need to be
- 5:11getting out of your car, bro, especially with some kids. You know
- 5:14what I'm saying, Like, there's no situation where that's where you're gonna give
- 5:17me a reason and that's going to make sense to me. So that's why,
- 5:20Like when I just came out, the car was already on, already
- 5:25up, like what are you even doing here? Bro? But yeah,
- 5:29man, it was crazy. And then like when he left, I just
- 5:32like went and got like a launch, like a beach chair put in the
- 5:35yard, and I just stayed out there until like the kids finished playing,
- 5:40and I'm like, Bro, I wish you would try to come back.
- 5:43Yeah, yeah, I was. I was on that today. I would
- 5:46not, Bro. I didn't recognize him. You don't know where he lives
- 5:49or anything. I don't even know. I don't even know. I don't
- 5:51even know what he looks like. Bro. Like I was just so tight
- 5:54that I was yeah yeah bro, and He's like, Yo. It was
- 5:59funny because like towards the end, he was a square bro. He just
- 6:03he just came out like talking crazy to kids. But towards the end,
- 6:08I'm like telling him like I don't want to ever see him again in front
- 6:12of my house. Like, He's like, but I live here, and
- 6:15I'm like, dog, obviously your bitch ask to drive to your house.
- 6:19But if I see you slow down in front of my house, if I
- 6:23see you walk in front of my house, if I see you in front
- 6:25of my house at all, you weren't going to have a problem. Dog.
- 6:29You could drive down the street all you want. I don't care,
- 6:31but I better than not see you in front of my fucking house on my
- 6:33sidewalk in my grass like slowing down nothing, homie. I was I was
- 6:40hot. I was so with them, but I live here. Yeah,
- 6:45bro, he thought he's like something dog. Oh my god, Bro,
- 6:50that's funny as hell. No, that's crazy. I would have been on
- 6:54the same type of time. Bro. That's you don't that's one thing you
- 6:57don't play with, but you don't play with the kids. Bro. My
- 6:59son after when we were talking about it, my son was like, dang,
- 7:02Daddy, Like, I just I've never seen you like that. That
- 7:04was crazy, Like, I didn't even know how to feel. You're low
- 7:09key. He knew how to feel. He was like a beach. It
- 7:15was like a stomach vane and all my all my boys had their kids there,
- 7:17and one dude yelled at Jade's kid, and I was like, oh
- 7:21who like yo yo yo yah, Yeah, come here, come here,
- 7:24come here real quick, come here real quick. No you don't you have
- 7:28that? Yeah, Bros, that's like that's like an instant, right,
- 7:31Like everybody came over. It was one dude. We all came over,
- 7:35like what's up right now? Yeah. Even if you just go to the
- 7:41door and be like, hey man, I was driving by your kids.
- 7:43But you know what I'm saying, you talk to the parents like you don't.
- 7:46You don't yell at nobody kids like that. Man, that's crazy.
- 7:48And especially in family too, you know what I'm saying, because like my
- 7:53my it made me think about my brother. He had his bachelor party,
- 7:57had Andretti's. Like it started that Andrea in downtown I mean not downtown Lando,
- 8:01like on I drive the gold Kart place and it ended up at a
- 8:05player one bar. But when we were at Andretti's, there was like a
- 8:11group of dudes that was like wasted, that was like behind us in line
- 8:13when we were doing something. I think it was the laser tag or something.
- 8:16And my brother and his friends are like real like nice people, you
- 8:20know what I'm saying. Like they all go to church, you know what
- 8:22I'm saying. Like my brother was a pastor at the time, and I
- 8:26mean he's still a pastor, but he was a pastor. Like some of
- 8:28the people was involved in the church there, you know what I'm saying.
- 8:31So it was like a real like nice group. And one of the dudes
- 8:35that was drunk in that one group was just like, you know, you
- 8:37know when you can just pick up that vibe where they can they know that
- 8:41you're nice and you're not on that type of time, so they want to
- 8:43get funny, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Yeah, And then
- 8:48like a little similar kind of situation happened there, and my brother and his
- 8:52boy were just like laughing and like kind of cracking on me the whole night
- 8:56because I'm real quiet, you know what I'm saying. I'm like, I
- 8:58don't really be like even loud, you know what I'm saying, But like
- 9:01when stuff like that happens, dog Like, it's just like it just ignites
- 9:05this thing in me, bro, and I just I just blackout, dog
- 9:09Like, I don't even know like it's just like it just awakens something in
- 9:13me, bro. And it's like with that guy like trying to like disrespect
- 9:18my brother, Dog, that shit just sent me over the edge, dog
- 9:20Like, And even that dude was like yo, he was basically like,
- 9:22Yo, chill. You know I've been drinking. I'm like, I don't
- 9:24care. Dog. We all we all go out and we all been drinking.
- 9:28Dog, But you drinking and should have had nothing to do with what
- 9:31we going on. And you better, you know, stay on your side
- 9:33and don't be on your ship, Like if you're gonna do that, should
- 9:37do that with your group. Like yeah, yeah, in fact, I'm
- 9:39drinking too, but I know you disrespecting kids. That's something that, like
- 9:48I would say, bothers me the most about being an adult, that life
- 9:52you can't fight, Like that's not a thing. Like fighting is gone.
- 9:56Like when you're an adult, that's charges that legal issues like out the window.
- 10:03Bro, Like you used to be able to just fight and that was
- 10:05it, whatever the issue was, it was resolved and you're done now.
- 10:09Dog. Like you you're an adult, you can't move like that. And
- 10:11I honestly feel like that's bullshit. Bro. I do too, But the
- 10:16thing is that's adult. A lot of people are strapped, and that's what
- 10:20these cowards always lead to. That's what I'm saying. Even if you try
- 10:24it these days, they're going to just pull out the strap. Mm hmm.
- 10:28Yeah. That's just a lame man, super lame but that's that's what
- 10:35it is. Man. It's funny because I was listening to this Bill Maher
- 10:39thing, like the Bill Marshall and he was basically just talking, well they
- 10:43were talking about on the panel just how like nowadays the street credit thing is
- 10:48a lot different just from the point of view of like before it was a
- 10:52little more justified in the sense of like they were fighting for territory, they
- 10:58were fighting for owners, like they were fighting for money. Basically, you
- 11:01know what I'm saying. It was a different kind of motivation, different kind
- 11:05of hustle. Like now somebody attacks your character on like TikTok or Instagram or
- 11:11Twitter or something that warrants like a street beef where like people die. Bro.
- 11:16Yeah, you know what I'm saying. And it's like that, like
- 11:18the type of time people be on is like it just don't make no sense.
- 11:24It's like the Friday movie. You know what, I'm saying John Witherspoon,
- 11:26like that little speech he gave his son in the movie, Like,
- 11:30Bro, you know your kids always going to the gun, like all you
- 11:33need is these you know what I'm saying. Oh, that's the problem.
- 11:39Was like niggas are scared to lose a fight. Oh big, that's the
- 11:41problem. Bro, That's really what it is. People are scared to lose
- 11:45a fight, like you know what I mean, Like I don't know,
- 11:48I just like that to be, like, ID rather lose a fight than
- 11:50then then try to fight and get killed Like it wasn't that deep, you
- 11:54know what I mean? Yeah, And that's the type of time I was
- 11:58always on like rather just even if I'm gonna lose the fight, I'd rather
- 12:01fight because usually that ends it. Like yeah, whatever, little, you
- 12:05know you ain't gonna mess with even if you beat me in a fight,
- 12:07you're not gonna mess with me no more because you know you're not just gonna
- 12:11with my ass or you're just gonna walk all over me like you know,
- 12:13you're gonna have to earn this one. So that usually kills everything right there.
- 12:18You know. That's why I like, ever since I have known how
- 12:24to box, I never had to fight because I know I could fight,
- 12:30and I don't have to prove that because I know, so if they ever
- 12:31happens already, but because I know, And there's a lot of people who
- 12:35don't know and who think they get to ask for And those are the lot
- 12:39oft people with the lottest barks in the littlest fights. Yeah, yeah,
- 12:43a lot. There's a lot of niggas that I owe ask too. But
- 12:46I'm gonna just leave it there because I have I have so much patience,
- 12:52bro, And sometimes I feel like that's my achilles here, but it's like
- 12:56my my pro and my client because I have so much patience. But sometimes
- 13:01but I just like there's some niggas that really deserve that ask me. Oh
- 13:03yeah, I'm with you. I'm on that. Like for me if I'm
- 13:09almost on, like when it happens to me as far as like somebody does
- 13:13me wrong, I brush it off more than like how I was saying,
- 13:16like a family thing or something like that, because it's like if you do
- 13:20me wrong, like you you lost me, that's you, that's on you
- 13:24whom I'm not losing out of that situation. You losing out that situation.
- 13:28You know what? I'm yeah, I ain't gonna that's telling me you taught
- 13:30me bro for real talk. Yeah, And it's like it kind of goes
- 13:35back to the being a kid thing like nowadays, you know, any kind
- 13:39of retaliation like it could really lead you to some real trouble. So it's
- 13:43like, am I gonna? Am I gonna hurt my life over a fucking
- 13:46lame? Like you know what I'm saying, It just doesn't make any sense,
- 13:50like even just giving them any time of day, you know, Like
- 13:54I always hate seeing when people like post about somebody they don't mess with no
- 13:58more, like or like you can tell that they're obviously still like holding that
- 14:05resentment so hard, and it's like, dog, you're letting that person win
- 14:09by giving them so much of your energy when they're not even thinking about you,
- 14:13almost like they're just living their life. They're cool. They already fucked
- 14:18over three more people since they fucked you over. Facts. I tell that.
- 14:22I tell it to a lot of people in family members who still whole
- 14:26resembling for people. I'm like, yo, if you still hold out,
- 14:31you're just showing them they they still make you feel some type of way.
- 14:33They probably never think about you. Ever again, exactly as long as you
- 14:37hold on to that, that's you. It's all you now, Yeah,
- 14:41you turn it into like your own. So so many people like they see
- 14:46the bad in others and they turn it into like a thing for themselves,
- 14:50you know what I'm saying, Like a like a thing they have to conquer
- 14:54themselves. Like you could just ignore that person and cut that person off and
- 14:58that's it, Like you don't got to deal with none of their stuff from
- 15:01any point of view. That's felt like that fab line he said, if
- 15:05A fuck with you, you're gonna feel that shit. And if I don't
- 15:07fuck with you, you're gonna feel that shit too. That's it. You're
- 15:11gonna know if I don't fuck with you. Yeah, one of the things
- 15:15you said to me, bro that I feel like you taught me this ship
- 15:18and then I've taught like five other people the same shit. Where it's like,
- 15:22you know, it's especially when it comes to bread, like if somebody
- 15:26screws you over on money, like that's the cost you pay to know that
- 15:28they're not solid, you know what I'm saying, And like I feel like
- 15:31I've learned that lesson multiple times. But like that's where the whole concept of
- 15:37that pm p I song came from. You know what I'm saying, It's
- 15:39like, you know, I had so many people play me, but in
- 15:43the end, they really played themselves. You know what I'm saying. It's
- 15:45like I've seen that happen over and over again and it's such a It's it's
- 15:50just crazy, bro, It's crazy that people are so like not solid,
- 15:52man, Yeah, it's funny. Man. Me and Freddie had a long
- 15:56conversation earlier on just because I missed a call with him last week, just
- 16:00had a lot of crazy stuff going on, and we kind of just caught
- 16:03up today and we were even talking about that, and he was just talking
- 16:07from the point of view of like, man, he tries to not think
- 16:11that people are so you know, questionable as they are. Like he always
- 16:18he wants to assume people are solid, you know what I mean. Not
- 16:22that he's naive at all, because if you know Freddie Yan, he's definitely
- 16:25one a bit. Yeah, but you know he would like to think that
- 16:27somebody solid before you know, he questions if they're solid or not. You
- 16:32know. It's like, man, unfortunately, you know most people are not.
- 16:36That's just that's just the world we live in. That's just the ratios
- 16:41of stuff. That's how they've been Like, it's just it is what it
- 16:45is. Dog Like, That's one thing that a lot of people don't like
- 16:48to talk about because you don't know where you fall on that scale. Like
- 16:53out of every hundred people, you know, there's you know, seven out
- 16:56of ten of them are lost. You don't want to you know, that
- 17:00puts you at thirty percent chance for you not to be lost. So it's
- 17:03like people don't want to realize that because then it really like puts into perspective
- 17:08like dang, like what am I doing with my life? You know what
- 17:11I'm saying. But you know, this is something that I would like to
- 17:18hear y'all opinion on that Me and Freddie was talking about, Like do you
- 17:22think there's a difference between being someone that's just content with life as far as
- 17:29like you're not really chasing anything, you're just kind of cool with like being
- 17:34quote unquote mediocre. Do you think there's a difference between that person and the
- 17:38person that's the same exact way but has a goal or has a dream.
- 17:45There's a difference. Yeah, there's definitely a difference. What do you think
- 17:49is the difference. I think that, Like, so I feel like a
- 17:56person that's just like what was the first word you said, like as far
- 18:00as like they're like somebody that's like content with being mediocre, you know what
- 18:04I mean? Yeah, I feel like a person that's content with being mediocre.
- 18:07Like there. I literally just had this conversation with Menti and explained to
- 18:11her because she's a nurse, and I'm gonna just use this example. You
- 18:14know, she feels like she she was so unhappy because she's going through nursing
- 18:19school. She's been a nurse for a year and a half, and she
- 18:22is miserable with being a nurse. She's making great money, but she's not
- 18:27happy with what she's doing. And so I was explaining to her, I'm
- 18:30like, Yo, you're twenty five years old, bro, you're making forty
- 18:33five dollars an hour you take. You know, what you need to be
- 18:37doing is thinking long term rather than thinking that this is your end all be
- 18:41all. So she's trying to break the change. Not the chain, but
- 18:45she's trying to break her mindset of being content because it's like, all right,
- 18:48I accomplished my goal. I'm a nurse, but I'm not happy being
- 18:51a nurse, but you're twenty five making forty five dollars an hour. When
- 18:55I was twenty five, I was making sixteen dollars an hour and not even
- 18:57in school. And you're like years ahead of that, where by the time
- 19:00you're my age, you could own your own business, you could do whatever
- 19:03because you have the capital to do that. So this is your grind time.
- 19:07So when I explained that to her, she was like, damn,
- 19:11I never even thought about it like that, because she is thinking, as
- 19:15I've accomplished my goal and I'm content with where I'm at, but I'm not
- 19:18happy with what I'm doing. So that's somebody that obviously she's not a content
- 19:23person, but somebody that is content would have been like, well, this
- 19:26is it. I'm gonna make forty five dollars an hour and get my little
- 19:29two percent raise every year. You know, somebody that's content and has goals
- 19:34and dreams and stuff like that, they're thinking the way I'm just explained to
- 19:37her, where it's like, I'm content with where I'm at, but what's
- 19:41the end goal? What's the you know, what am I doing today that's
- 19:45going to help me get closer? To the end goal or the dream,
- 19:48or the you know whatever it may be the next chapter. You know what
- 19:52I'm saying, Because if I was content with where I was when I was
- 19:55making sixteen dollars an hour, I could have still been doing that, you
- 19:59know what I'm saying. But I still wouldn't have had a studio. I
- 20:02still wouldn't have had a house. I still wouldn't have had anything that I
- 20:04have. But at the end of the day, I was living a content
- 20:07life, but still chasing those goals that was in the future. You know
- 20:12what I'm saying. Yeah, Oh, that's the way I see it.
- 20:15What do you think, Joe, I know, I agree. I think
- 20:18there's a difference. I think because there's a difference between wanting something and taking
- 20:25a long time to achieve because it's not your main priority, but you know,
- 20:26you want to achieve it, so you take the little steps by steps
- 20:30over time you progressively just get better at it, and then just just not
- 20:34trying and just talking about it for years, you know, and you sit
- 20:38there and you have people in your life who talk about it, talk about
- 20:41it for years, and after all these years you hear them talking about it,
- 20:45and that that raises doubt in everybody's mind. It's like, bro,
- 20:47you've been you've been saying this for all this time, and it's like,
- 20:49just you haven't taken one step towards even trying to do that right and you
- 20:56know, and I feel bad because those people look for support and it's hard
- 20:57to get support after talking about it for so long. But it's like,
- 21:02you know, just take one action, take one step towards it, and
- 21:04you have everybody on your side supporting you, but just saying it, you're
- 21:10saying it is not gonna it's not going to gain. And I think that's
- 21:12a big factor in accomplishing a goal. It's a support of your peers and
- 21:17the people around you. You can't obtain anything on your own. And I
- 21:21got I'm go ahead, I'm sorry, yeah no, And that's what and
- 21:23that's what I feel. So I feel after time, you start seeing that
- 21:27in people, You start seeing those traits, and you were able to see
- 21:32a difference between somebody who has a goal who may not have reached it or
- 21:37getting close to reach it, but you see them doing little by little to
- 21:40reach it, versus people who talk about a goal for the last ten years
- 21:44and haven't done anything about about it to get there. So I'll make one
- 21:48last example. So, like I would say, five six years ago,
- 21:52I was like financially content with where I was, but where I was didn't
- 22:00allow me to create the way I would have liked to. Right in less,
- 22:03you know what I'm saying, We can both say the same thing.
- 22:07You know what I mean, where we was, we weren't able to create
- 22:08the way we would like to. However, we still had dreams and we
- 22:12still had goals. So like, even though we were content in this part
- 22:18of our life, we still did things to make sure that we were still
- 22:22accomplishing our goals and our dreams, you know what I'm saying. So like,
- 22:26I feel like you can do both. But there is a difference with
- 22:29the person that's just content, you know, because you can be miserable for
- 22:33forty years and working a job and hating it and being content, or you
- 22:37can be you know what I'm saying, content but also still chasing your dreams
- 22:41and goals. You know. Yeah, So what Joe was kind of saying
- 22:45kind of was leading into how I felt about it. When me and Freddie
- 22:48was talking about it, was just like, to me, the person that
- 22:51has the dream with no action, like you were saying, Joe to me,
- 22:53they're the same as the content person because you're just saying that you want
- 22:57to do something to just kind of trick yourself into thinking that there's something coming
- 23:03when you really know that you're not going to do the work to make it
- 23:04happen, you know what I mean. So like with me, it's like
- 23:10the way I look at it is like you just got to have some kind
- 23:12of action, like like you said, Joe, like anything that you do,
- 23:15and it don't even got to be something where you're trying to change the
- 23:19world money or change the world or exactly what I was gonna say, Like,
- 23:23it don't got to be something crazy. It might just be you,
- 23:26you know, get picking up a paintbrush and get a little good at that,
- 23:30just to look them art around your house, you know what I'm saying,
- 23:32Like, or something that makes you feel good about yourself exactly. It's
- 23:36just something to get your mind going to expand your your horizons in your own
- 23:42mind. Like I feel like there's so much That's something me and Freddie was
- 23:48talking about too, Like there's just so much information available to you to just
- 23:52even explain life to a certain degree that for people to waste it is still
- 23:59like bad. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like how you were
- 24:03talking about Quincy, like somebody that might just be at a job for forty
- 24:06years, just miserable. Like at the end of the day. I'm not
- 24:10saying that you could change your situation as far as like it's just so easy
- 24:14to make more money, but you could at least try to figure out a
- 24:17way to make a lateral movement to be in a place that's more conducive to
- 24:21the type of person you are. You know what I'm saying, Like life
- 24:25is so customizable, and it's such a thing where like for you to just
- 24:30accept being unhappy all the time, like you're just not even trying. Yeah,
- 24:36not, I agree with that, And you don't even have to know
- 24:38the person. Like and I can tell you this, Like I was in
- 24:42a work experience one time and I met somebody on the first day, like
- 24:47day one of seven, and we got to know each other. They told
- 24:51me their story and they told me where they are in life and their goals,
- 24:56And I was like, that's awesome. One, that's an awesome idea.
- 24:57It's aw something that you think like that that's great for you. And
- 25:02then the rest of those seventies where I really got to know them, I
- 25:06was like, wow, like you're not talking anything. Yeah, and it
- 25:11wasn't even a heat oh you know what I'm saying. And I'm like wow.
- 25:14I was like, you're completely different from the person. But that's the
- 25:18thing, like deep down inside, they want that, they want that,
- 25:22but they wake up the next day and just nah, I'm not I'll just
- 25:26I'll just chill wear man, I'm not going to go towards that. I'm
- 25:29like, man, I heard the world from you, and like the six
- 25:32days after that, it seems like you don't give a shit. You're cool
- 25:34with what you are, and you have like this persona you're cool with what
- 25:37you are and everybody thinks you're cool where you are, so might as well
- 25:41be that person. It's like nah, like there's something deeper in there that
- 25:45you want to be, but you're never gonna get there if you keep trying
- 25:48to prove you are this person everybody else around you besides actually being that person.
- 25:53I mentioned it a few times on the pod, but like I hate
- 25:56anybody that likes to just sit around in daydream Yeah, like not the person.
- 26:00But I just hate that action, Like if that inkling even starts,
- 26:07like I just I have to leave or I have to change the subject,
- 26:10like it bothered, Like it literally bothers me. Like if people are sitting
- 26:12around talking about, oh, if I want the lottery, I would do
- 26:17this yeah, and everybody lays out like they're like plan Yeah. Do you
- 26:22know what sucks for the people who don't have any kind of resources or help
- 26:26to get there versus people who do and they still sit on it when you
- 26:32actually have sets and like financial people that can help you, that are willing
- 26:37to help you, but they feel the same way about you that like you
- 26:40got to show it, like you have all the help in the world you
- 26:42can get there, you know, powerful people, and you still don't do
- 26:45it, versus the people who have those dreams and they just have, you
- 26:48know, no help to do it, which is the service to them too.
- 26:55I'm about to pull up, I think, man, I hope I
- 26:57can find it. Jari posted something earlier that basically was right along those lines.
- 27:06Oh, here we go. The right resources always go to the wrong
- 27:10people. Yep, bro, you go. Exactly what I was that always
- 27:15comes up with like like exactly what we're talking about, Like, there's so
- 27:19many people out here trying to get it, and for some reason, the
- 27:22person that's next to the person that can make it happen is always lazy.
- 27:26Bro. Like even to like equate it to music, Like, there's so
- 27:30many people that ended up making music just because they were behind an artist and
- 27:36the artist was so lazy and the person was like, Yo, let me
- 27:40just do this myself, or you know, they've just been around it enough
- 27:42that they know what they need to do and they're just somebody that works hard,
- 27:45so they make it happen. So there's so many quote unquote whack artists
- 27:52that get on that the reason why they're kind of whack is because they just
- 27:56started making music or they're not really an artist, like yeah, on their
- 28:00own, they don't have the help that they had in the beginning, ye
- 28:03like, but they just did it, you know, like you can't.
- 28:07That's why like when music, music is so subjective, and you know you
- 28:11can you can kind of sonically understand what's whack. But at the end of
- 28:15the day, Bro, anybody that's making money off music and hustling off this
- 28:19music stuff, bro, My hat goes off to them because it's tough,
- 28:22like regardless, even if your music is whack, if you're making money off
- 28:26of it, bro that's right, that's the gold mine right there. Facts
- 28:34do that. But yeah, man, we can start drawing this one to
- 28:38a close. Just I wanted to make sure we got something out for that
- 28:44week, just because we got crazy for everybody. And man, yes,
- 28:48Sunday at the end of last week, freaking came home. You know.
- 28:56My wife had been sick for a few days, so we were like a
- 29:00playing ketchup. We also had to like go like do a few errors and
- 29:03stuff. So we did all our stuff. We get home, man,
- 29:07and my daughter's hamster is like like in the middle of dying, broh Man
- 29:15on some like like traumatic stuff, like apparently they have these issues with their
- 29:19intestines and like it basically something happens when they start bleeding out their bottoms and
- 29:26like they'll die, you know. And we basically caught the hamster like in
- 29:30the middle of that. So the hamster was like dog when I like,
- 29:37it wasn't screaming, but this hamster was dying. Like the only way I
- 29:41can equate it is like somebody that got shot in the movie and when it's
- 29:45like a long drawn out death of somebody that got like shot right in the
- 29:48chest or in the stomach or something. Dog. It was so traumatic and
- 29:56everybody was dog. I was crying, my kids were crying, my wife
- 30:00was crying. Dog. It was such a crazy, heated moment because like
- 30:03if you would have just got home and it would have been dead or something,
- 30:07it's like, you know, so easier to handle. It's crazy,
- 30:11Bro, it was crazy. I never thought a hamster death would affect me
- 30:18so much, bro, but that hamster death was crazy. Bro. Bro,
- 30:23you witnessed it. That's that's all you got to say. Bro.
- 30:26If I witnessed my dog. Bro, oh god, I woke up in
- 30:30the middle of the night thinking about the hamster. Bro. It was crazy.
- 30:36That's this strong man. That is strong, Bro. That's that was
- 30:40the thing that was like the main thing I got from it, like dog
- 30:42like even at this level, Bro, this is tough. This is hard
- 30:48bro. Like yo. And it was raining all day. We went outside
- 30:52and buried this hamster and the rain brothers out. We looked like it was
- 30:57like a scene. It looked like the scene withe Uncle Ben died in Spoti.
- 31:00Bro. Like it was mad dramatic brokah dog, it was nuts,
- 31:11bro nuts, it was it was. It took us like a whole day
- 31:14and a half to even come down and then to bring it back full circle.
- 31:18That's when I that next day is when I came home and that guy
- 31:21was outside school. Yeah he was about to get But I say that to
- 31:30say this rest in peace. My Cookie girl, her name is Cookie.
- 31:34I always called her my cookie girl. And you know, she was very
- 31:40loved in this house, my daughter feeling. My daughter spent a lot of
- 31:45her own hard earn money on that hamster to make sure she had the best
- 31:49life. And she did have the best life. She was very loved and
- 31:55she made a big impact on us and I'm sure that we will never forget
- 31:59Cookie. Yeah, it's the peace. Well, I don't want to take
- 32:02away from that, but Quincy knows the story. Uh, And that's the
- 32:07basis of my tattoo. That's the reason I got this tattoo. Ah.
- 32:12Death is inevitable, and you can't cheat that, whether yourself or anybody around
- 32:17you. You can't. Death is going to happen eventually, no matter what
- 32:22you do to push it off. That death is inevitable, and it's something
- 32:27you got to accept for yourself and the people around you, including animals and
- 32:30family members and family animal members. It's it's it's something that you can't it's
- 32:36something that you deal with every every single day you wake up you didn't die,
- 32:42and everybody around you every day they wake up they didn't die. And
- 32:45it's that's the strong significance between the tattoo I got, So it kind of
- 32:50correlates to what you were just talking about. That is strong man, Yeah,
- 32:54for sure, bro hey man. After that, there's only one thing
- 33:00to say. You already know, Quincy, what is it? Stayington Butterington.
- 33:07You fear me not not not not not not not not nothing after ever after a
