You want to talk about something interesting? Tell me about a podcast I don't know about. Yeah, I found that that was a that was a, like a topic of conversation or not. Maybe not even a topic. Conversation, but a way to a piece of conversation that you can always have with someone. It's like, what's what pop culture or what are you consuming? You know, what shows you watching? What music. Listen, you want real broad I love that. Yeah, exactly what podcast are you listening to? How do you spend your time, you know, outside of work? Yeah. For a while we asked like everybody would me. Maybe they saw what kind of music you listened to. And if it was rap, it's like, oh, who are your favorite rappers? Because that helps me like kind of understand you a little more, you know? Yeah. What are you into? Yeah, yeah, totally under the same. If you get the ox. What are you putting on? You know, if I give you the power of the ox, that's a big power. The responsibility. True, true. The vibes are like everything, you know? Yeah. It's like when you had a party or not. Maybe not even like a party. Party, per se, but like you're at your friend's house or at the river, or chillin with the boys or floating on the river. Whatever you're doing. And like, someone gives you the power to, like, put the playlist on, right? Yeah. Put some music on. You're like, oh shit, I got to like, put some heat on right here, man. This is like my this is like my my fucking rat right there on the line. True, true. I would be evaluated on how how hard we go right here. Usually I'll give me the ox and you put on some wack shit. Everyone's like, whoa, I can't trust this guy anymore. I can't trust your judgment, bro. Yeah, or, like, as a as a joke to be funny, too, you know? But, this is the perfect segue. Yeah. I wanted to talk to you about. We talked off camera about how you didn't super enjoy slash. Love the Linkin Park Jay-Z mashup album, Dude, I have the bumping that nonstop the last week. Really. That is guys like, yeah, I love it. I remember the first time I heard it because it came out would like, like in 2003 or since 2004. I mean, it's all my recent plate I can find out for you, but yeah, I would think we were like ten, ten ish. You're like ten. It's like 2004 is what I would guess. Yeah. I wasn't super, super big into hip hop at that time either. I was more influenced by my mom's influence and she was more like alternative slash heavy rock with a little bit of Bob Marley in there, but mostly like Metallica, Korn, disturbed, Linkin Park and then 2004. Really? Yeah. We're good. Nice. So yeah, I guess at that time I was a little bit younger, so I wasn't super, super receptive to like, the new genre of music. I guess around seventh grade middle school is when I started getting into hip hop, but I guess I was what, in fifth grade was ten right around that time? Well, I was I was in fifth grade, so you probably like right around six. Yeah. Yeah. So it wasn't I remember the first time I heard it, I wasn't super in love with it. I was just like, what is this? I'm sure I play a little symbol for the crowd real quick. Yeah. You know, where's my fucking Frappuccino? And I. Will be okay. Some of this is the message. Linkin Park fucking Jay-Z. What was it called? Collision course. Collision course. Okay, this is the wave. Yeah. That's hard. This is hard, right? Yeah. The BPMs are perfect. Right here. This is for everybody. Mike Shinoda, Chester, my dog. Yeah. When I was ten, I was like, whoa, Jay-Z, don't forget that. I told you, keep with the Linkin Park guitar in the background. Just bending genres right here. Hybrid hybrid theory for real. Yeah. So that's just a little taste for you guys. But in the gym I listen to that going nuts, dude. Like who I be I think I need listen to it again I would, I would especially in the gym bro on a hard set. It's like it has me going off, dude. Yeah. Listen, cause the there's only six songs on the. It's like an EP. Okay. So it's got dirt off your shoulder and lying from you, and then it's got Big Pimpin and Papercut and then it's got Jigawa and Faint NUM and encore is probably my favorite, one of my favorites. Even when I was a kid, that was my problem. My favorite song on the album. Okay. And then, each of the is all within the end. Okay. And points of authority with 99 problems. That's hard. Yeah, those are some of like Jay-Z's best songs. Most popular song has ever made, right? It's not Linkin Park's best songs, dude. Like here, just one more. Yeah. It starts like they're just. This right here is just Jay-Z's vocals laid over the Hybrid Theory instrumental. Like they're just mixing like a DJ, you know what I'm saying? Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Right. Let's see. Hold on. This has been introduced. You tend to jump, right? Yeah. Faint. Yeah. That was my alarm clock when I was in middle school. Dog. Really? Yeah. Just just that right there, bro. I will be like. Going crazy, bro. Like. Yeah. I just wanted to share that with you guys. If you need an adrenaline push in the gym, that album goes crazy hard. That's so tight because it's like Linkin Park was already kind of bending the genre a little bit, right? Like like Mike Shinoda, he was definitely more hip hop sort of flow and rhythm and cadence with his delivery. Not so much like a like a rock print, like, you know, vocals. I would say he raps a lot. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely more hip hop than it is. Like pure rock. So there were already like Linkin Park themselves were already kind of bending in the genre a little bit like there, I guess Jay-Z saw that. I was like, I fuck with y'all, man. I wonder what that how they how do they come into contact? The way I see it in my mind's like, because it says MTV Presents Collision Course. So I feel like MTV, what I think happened is somebody realized that their BPMs were like, identical because it's like there's no they're not speeding up either. Song, like all of those songs are literally the same BPM and they just like they fit perfectly together, like so perfectly that it's like, weird almost is mash them up. Yeah. Like it's like I was thinking to myself that it's so weird how identical the structure format of those songs are, that they were able to cross-reference that. It feels like in my story that was supposed to happen so I could get bridged from alternative rock to hip hop. It was like a perfect. I don't think anything else would have just took me there. You know what I'm saying? That was it. That was it. That's the stepping stone, I think. And then I think that's why I like Jay-Z so much. No lie. Like clicked for me. I'm like, this album right here is why I want Jay-Z's picture on my wall, like his whole discography and what he represents. Like, I don't know if it's my favorite amongst other rappers per se, but that album is crazy, dude. Like, yeah, evolved me out of just like, oh, I like rock n roll. Yeah, like ten years old, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, we were ten. We were super young, super impressionable. But yeah, I guess initially I didn't like I wasn't super in love with it. I preferred just like regular Linkin Park by itself. Really? Yeah. I guess when I, when I was ten, I mean, you know, I'm saying it's, I mean, like, it's also a lie. It's like there's a lot of curse words. There's a lot of stuff you don't understand going on. He's like, talking about son, do you know what I'm stopping you for? Because I'm young and I'm black in my head. Too low. Do I look like a mind reader, sir, I don't know, that's not relatable on your ten. Yeah, I was a white ten kid. Ten year old. Yeah. Not. Yeah. Never. Like I can't even drive, you know, like. Yeah, yeah. Let alone get pulled over. Well they, there was like a parks not relatable either. Yeah. But now Linkin Park's crazy relatable especially like you just go through a breakup. It's like, man, this song's it's crazy. It's like, time can't take this damage anymore. Don't turn your back on me. I won't be ignored. Like there's so many bars that are just like, I listened to it as an adult. And if you're going through something, it's like, oh, shit, this is crazy. Like, it's a person just like, that's her. That's like letting it all out. Finally. That's like a lot of what that album is. Yeah, yeah. It's like I'm at the breaking point and it's like, I have to say what I'm feeling inside or I'm going to like, snap. Like literally. It's like close to the Edge is one of the songs, you know, literally. Yeah, there's a bars and then there's lyrics and my own personal life. I got to that point. I was at that point and then I like listen to that album and I'm like, what the fuck? Like, this is one of my staples in my life. I never realized that this is what it was, you know? Yeah, yeah, it's different whenever you're younger, you kind of consuming and then you don't really see the nuance or the true meaning behind the words. Yeah, it's just sounds and sounds good. Like. Yeah, that sounds good. Yeah. Like the riff on faint is crazy in the end. Was like really good. But it's like, yeah, what? That's not relatable. In the end it all falls apart and what it meant to me. But you leave me a memory like, I don't know, man. Like, as a kid. That's not you get apply that to your life in elementary school. You know what's going on. The. I just looked up the College Dropout came out of 2004, and I won a Grammy. Like the that year, the following year. And so, what's the song on here? Through the wire. Yeah. Well, I don't know. Actually, that might be on, although I don't think that's on College Dropout. Oh. It is. Okay. Those two songs at the same time were like, I heard those, and I was like, okay, I'm kind of done. What's this hip hop stuff? Yeah, this hip hop. You speak on. Yeah. I'm gonna start transitioning into listening to this stuff because it is fucking crazy. It makes me feel something in here, man. Yeah, right. That's so. Yeah. That's so cool. That's a wild because everyone has a different like country music does that, does that. People who are fucking, reggae or whatever. You know, Carly, I was on a day like a week ago, this lady was talking about. I love country music. Oh, really? That's cool. That's right. There's some country songs like Old Bananas. Like, I can't name any of them. I've top of my head like Neon Moon and Drinking problem for sure. Like, those are the two staple friends in those places. Yeah, right. Exactly. Girl friend. Yeah, that goes great as a club. Going nuts on a Tuesday, bro. For sure. But there's, like, it's hard on any day because it's hard to express exactly what you mean. You nervous? But there's times when that vibe is what I'm feeling. You know what I'm saying? Like, never on golden hour. It's not really country. But, if you played, it might know it actually is country. Like, okay, so if I'm in love or whatever and I'm feeling the butterflies and it's like a sunset, the song Golden Hour is the vibe. Like, I'm not going to want to listen to Linkin Park in that moment, you know? Yeah, right. It matches the it's it's more appropriately scored for the music or for the the mute, the movie that is your life. Exactly. This is Kacey Musgraves. The song is a banger. Okay, I heard that name. That's hard. You. I have a playlist for When I'm in Love. The songs like top five on there. No, no no, no, I mean, you want her to hit it. No, I'll give it like ten more seconds. Kacey Musgraves let's go. Girl, you come on now. You're like, oh, I don't care who you are, bro. That's that's music right there. That's just that's just music, bro. That's moving. You're driving home from, like, a day at the lake, and you had like, that connection feeling, and you guys are on a new level, and it's like the sun's going down. Yeah. Got the windows down. 6 p.m. the sun's about to set your fucking. You're a little tipsy. Yeah. Exactly bro. Let's drive home. That's tops bro. That's what I'm saying. That's it. I'm on a date. Like hold on, have your Kacey Musgraves. Yeah. Like trying to explain that. Like there's there's moments in time where that music is what my soul wants. But when like they actually did to this on the day I'm like day to day when I like I got to wake up and I got to go hit the gym and then I got to go to work and I got to go like do all these things and like make all the dots connect and keep my world going around. For the most part, I want to hear like Big Sean or Jay-Z saying like, don't stop. Don't stop doing what you're doing. Keep going. Keep believing. God, did you know? Yeah, nothing is stopping you. It's like the country music's not going to make me want to go crush it all day long. Yeah. No, not not for me. Not for me. For a lot of people. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Totally. Everyone's to guess what's different I don't know, right. It's like the thing that's inside of you that like, wants to listen to or that listened to Through the Wire and was like attracted to or like, whoa, what the fuck? Like a new feeling of like curiosity or wonder. Yeah. That was evoked. Like, that's not for everybody. It's everyone has something like that evokes them. It's like, oh, I want to go towards that thing. Well, that's that's also like people. I think they're like, oh, this is why Katy plays basketball and raps and he listens to Jay-Z. He just wants to be like, okay, I've heard that like a million times, you know what I'm saying? But when I was sitting in the car, when my mom went into the store and I put it in the Grammy CD and I'm just like, click, click, click, and then through the wire comes on and I'm like, boom, boom, boom. I'm sitting there going, whoa! I didn't want to be anything in that moment. So the way that I live in the world, yeah, I can't get that. But yeah, dude, like, I wasn't I didn't want to be anything in that moment. I was just like, bored on some level. And then I was like, oh, this is crazy. I like, sat back in the chair. I was just like, what's happening to me right now? It's like, what is that? You know what I'm saying? It's outside of you. That wasn't a choice. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, 100%, because there were other I guess you were referring to like a CD back when you had CDs, a CD that had the Grammy nominated songs on it, or the Grammy winning songs. I was like, you know, this is what this is what I call music. Yeah, it was this is what I call Grammys. Okay. And so it was, I think all the Grammy Award, all the Grammy nominated songs. Yeah. It was like that same company. Okay. And then I just, like, my mom had, like, a thing on the top of her. Yep. On the on the visor. On the visor that had all her CDs in it. Yep. And I pulled that one out and I was like, well, let me there's no tellin what's on this, you know what I'm saying? And then I, hypothetically like the best songs that we have to offer as a human race right now. That's. You do? Yeah. The Grammys. Yeah. Pulled out whatever CD we were listening to. Put that one in and then, like, clicked like 3 or 4 times or whatever. And then I heard the intro and I just, like, stopped. Exactly. It's like you didn't stop on any of the other previous songs on the song around the album? No, no. Michael Bublé. Yeah, right. So whoever the hell John Mayer. Yeah. No kind to gross like that. Straight to Kanye West. Who is this? This is nuts. He ain't never heard any of it before. See, like. Yeah, it's it's wild, man. There's there's something else going on here. There's something that's going on here. What interests you? What piques your interests? What like, turns up that emotional connection. Yeah. He's like, well, I'm my interests piqued. This is it. One other time in my life when that happened was the first time I heard top back. I was like in seventh grade. Yep. Dude. Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom. Yeah I was like maybe in high school. Maybe like freshman year, eighth grade, somewhere in that ball park when I heard that song and I was like, whoa, this is hip hop. Yeah. Like this. It's crazy. Yo. T.I. was on a different level back then. Yeah. My friend Derek was trying to tell me how great Lil Wayne was at that time, because I think the Carter three, it came out that same time that I had heard T.I. stop back and I'm like, I like Lil Wayne. But again, a little hard to relate sometimes, you know? But and yeah, I can put my top back and keep the beat down low. Am I can would have on okay what I thought a Kenwood was a heater because I had a heater in my room that said Kenwood on it. Really? I was like, Adrian, you're the top boy, man. I, I got a Kenwood in my hat in my house. I'm like, fuck, I let that thing go. I put it up high. Yeah. He was like, oh that's tight, man, that's tight. You got to set up to like your computer or what? And I was like, not just in my room. He's like, dude, that's sick. My dad's got a Kenwood. Makes the whole car shake, man. I was like, oh, not a heater. Oh. He's like, yeah, man. Nothing like bass in the car. I was like, oh, okay, okay. Well, we're not going to say anything else about that. Context clues is enough said. Totally. But yeah, just to say like that wasn't me trying to be something I just like heard that song was shocked dude. Yeah. At that point T.I., I was like okay Lil Wayne's great but Ty's my favorite rapper. Let me get into this guy's got discography you know. Yeah, yeah he was, he was rocking back then. That song particularly was like whoa, this. It's crazy. Yeah. Seriously. For sure. So yeah, I mean, the crazy thing. Yeah. I need to give. I need to give collision collision course. Right? Yeah, I can think of that. Another run through. Highly recommend. In the gym specifically. Yeah, but I'm listening to it in the car. It's cool. Like I'm driving anywhere with my windows down, listening to that album, my vibes just like on ten. And not a lot of things are taking me there nowadays because it's like, oh, there's a reason there's a recency bias. Yeah, there's a recency bias for how much music will take you to that high vibe. You heard a song like 50 times, 100 times starts to be like old. Yeah. There's no novelty or nuance to it, right? Or whatever it is. You know something? Yeah. You kind of just, I don't know, you just not do not discredit, but it's just not. Yeah. The the novelty is literally not there anymore. So yeah, that's, that's the part of something being new. Whenever someone drops something new, you're like, oh, this is my shit right now. That is such a thing. And then what's not new anymore? Like, okay, yeah, if you revisit it and it still does that thing to you, that's when you know, it's like, okay, that's just a fine wine. That's it. Aged well. Yeah, true. But it's not the same as, like when it, when it first came out and I was rocking your playlist. Yeah. Like I just think of some song that had some novelty at one point because I make different playlists throughout time, you know? Yeah, it's like I tend to make a new playlist. I'll just think about that. Today. I was like, man, I haven't made a new workout playlist in at least a year or two, at least by close to two years. That's crazy. Yeah, I just like I just kind of like, do my own. I literally like, go to the song and play it. Like I said, it is making a playlist cause I'm lazy. Yeah. Me too, me too. It takes time to make a playlist. Yeah, I used to sit by the pool and do it, like, oh. There was a while when I did an apartment complex with the nice pool that on my day off, I would, like, wake up, work out, and then grab a beer and go to the pool for like 30 minutes. And that would be like the time when I would do stuff like that. So let's say. Yeah, you got it. And it takes time, bro. Yeah, it takes time. Yeah. Thumb through all the entirety of music that's out there. I think I mentioned it last time for the wedding, but that was one thing that I definitely realized. Like in lieu with the wedding we are doing, having to make the playlist for the intro, the walking down the first dance, like the music that's playing while we're eating, the music that's playing for the dances and all that stuff, or like the dancing portion of the reception. Yeah, and it's like trying to think of all the there's so much music to like. You'll be looking up one song and then you remember like a song from fucking 2002 and you're like, oh yeah, yeah. And then I've been bring up like a whole nother portion of music from that time period, or like one artist, you're like, oh, that artist. And then it's just like a whole bunch of fucking spider webs that are all weaved together. Found one Silent Hill by Kendrick Lamar. Tax his on me. Like who? Who like Well, that's how it came out. I made a whole playlist starting with that song dude, and it was my jam. And now I never listen to that playlist or that song. Yeah, that song is timestamped for me with the Vegas trip for sure. Really? Yeah. We went to Vegas and I think that's the first time we've ever been to Vegas outside of like the winter months. Yeah, it was in the summertime, the first time I ever went in the summer, and that song had just came out within the last week or two, and I was like, this is life, right? Yeah, this is life. That's it bangs it. It does, it does, you know, time stamp, a memory or a portion of your life with a certain song or you listen to that song, it'll bring you right back. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. So I'm at MGM right now, the MGM lazy river, totally drinking overpriced beer. Give a fuck. Yeah, I was, I was rapping today about sometimes I want to take it back to nothing. Nothing is stopping you while I'm driving down Ocarina Springs. It's like, that's a timestamp, bro. Like driving from new heights to the gym just now. Not going to springs like that. I don't know why I want to take it back there just to relive it, just because it was dope, you know what I'm saying. That's a that's like the opposite of novelty. Yeah. Nostalgia. Yeah. Yeah that's crazy nostalgia a novelty or two halves of the same coin. That's cool. Wow. It looks a little bit. Nah I think definitely are like, opposite ends of a bell curve. Like they start to deteriorate in the middle and then they'll cross back up. Yeah. It goes from novelty and nostalgia. Yeah. Well, it's time is applied to it. That's so crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I also just like nothing is stopping you. Ocarina I like that it. Hit it. Rhyme it. It was really natural. Just came out of me. I was like, hot. Nice life. Just making numbers for you. Yeah. I ain't gotta do much. Just gotta tune in. I'm not seeing a ton of videos like that online where it's like spirituality or like the universe or like, the things that you want, the lifestyle you want is just, like, on a frequency that you just, like, tune into. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really cool. Like a radio station. So tune yourself to that, right? Like, there it is right there. Boop. Did have you seen the one of the more recent Joe Rogan podcast with this guy named Chris? No, that's, that's the one I will listen to next. I think I'm, I listen, I finished the one with Elon, I finished one with Ian Carroll, which is fucking crazy. That guy's crap. That voice. Awesome shit. Yo. Yeah, that, that's that's some shit right there. But I finish those ones. I just finish the shorts one, and I just started the. The burn was good. I like. Yeah, it was really good for my favorite show experience. That was really it was super, super solid. Super solid. But I know I saw that that one, that one had come out and I follow the other guy. It's Chris. What's his last name, Williams or Williams? I think I was gonna say, Williams said, is what I was gonna say, Chris, for sure. But I follow him on Instagram independent of Joe. And then I saw that there on he. Yeah, he came on Joe's podcast and I was like, oh hell yeah, I will listen to that. I think that's the after I finish Bert, that'll be the next one I listen to. Nice. I don't think I finish the bird. One thing only halfway there. Yeah, I started it yesterday and, it was tight, man. It was tight because they're talking of, like, talking about the velvet prison idea. Yes. You know. Yes. In the beginning. And I'm like, I fuck with this right now, bro. Actually, that set me off when I heard that, right? Yeah. For real, because he's like, man, I've trying to. You're like making money. You're doing a good you got a thing going on. I'm like, stop. Yeah, go make don't go do more. Stand up. Make this thing right. Comedy. Yeah. It's like you'll never have millions of dollars and freedom doing that. It's like this is actually the path to true freedom. It just seems like it's not a podcast. Focus on your podcast. Focus on stand up. Now look at him, Joe. He's like, we were right there, right? It was all light at the end of the tunnel. We fucking went for it, bro. And now we're here. It's like, dude, yes, yes bro. Preach trying to do that shit. I got charged up listening to that part for sure. Yeah, yeah, it happened in the first like ten, 20 minutes as well. Yeah. So talking about that and I was like, yo, this is it. I'm tapped into this right now. I'm feeling it. Yeah. Chris Williamson was also talking about some shit that really like, it was like half the tune into that frequency thing. Because you're telling me off. Yeah. That you had a dream that we were, like, hanging out with Mr. Beast and like. Yeah, other 1% content creators. Yeah. I had a weird ass dream where we were at an invite only Mr. Beast. Like exclusive party that was at like a I likened it to. It was like a hotel water park. And we have one of those in San Antonio. I think it's at the J.W. here. It's like a really nice big hotel. And they have like a giant water park there with like water slides, lazy river drinks, like a it felt exactly like that place. I've been there maybe twice in my life, but that was like what it what I could familiarly, like attach this, like weird ass dream place to it. I was like, this is a weird Mr. Beast, invite only party up like no one told me that. But you know, in dreams you just know things. You know what I'm saying? Or like, things can be assumed or you. You understand information even though there's no. And like you also transition from place to place without any actual transition, like travel, you know, saying you just like, be one place and you're in another place and in your dream you don't question it. It just makes sense to you. Exactly. I'm here now. That's what I was gonna say. Like, things just make sense that like, don't like, you wake up and you're like, why did that just make sense? Like, I didn't even I accepted it. Yeah, exactly. Like one dream that came straight to mind when you thought of that. Was like the whole dream was set on, basically like a lazy river. But the lazy river was like a water park, but it was just through a city, and it was like a huge river. So it's like a ton of people and we're just like floating through like parking garages downtown. And it was just like I was like, well, sort of on like, don't even think about it. But the Riverwalk. Yeah, but I mean, no, like when I woke up, I was like, what the fuck kind of setting is that for a dream? You know, it doesn't make any sense with you. And in this mind, right in the conscious mind. Right. So then you were saying that you think that on some level. Well, that that the dream realities do exist, like there's other parts of you that are like living consciously there that that's a cool thought to to like, explore as well. But, for the Chris Williamson podcast was like half of a coin that's like, helped me to process things a little bit differently over the last couple days. So before the course, only some stuff. But when I was talking about tuning into that frequency, like I felt like, maybe we're tuned into that whatever frequency Mr. Beast is on to some level, obviously he's like 1% of 1%. He's the best of a lot of people that are doing crazy shit. But and I don't want to sound like cocky here, but maybe I do think that we're tapped into maybe that frequency that he gets into. And maybe that's when you were saying that, like we were we were in that place with him. Like it was real. Yeah. Even here, it's real on some level that we're in that place with him. Like, why would we get the invite only it's like, I think we're in that frequency sometimes, you know? Yeah. And then the other thing is Chris Williamson was talking about how, like, I also heard Gary Vee talk about this sentiment where it's just like, we're just people, like, even if you're like, so many people will, want a Lamborghini in their life, but then, like, it's really easy for someone who has had the Lamborghini to drive the beat up Chevy truck because they actually know that there's no difference. Yeah, but we don't know that from this place. Like, and then we think that the Lamborghini is going to solve, like, some kind of thing we got going on here. Yeah. Whatever discontentment we have, it's like the Lamborghini will fix that. And it's like, no, it won't like it, it won't. And then there's things that like people tell us and it's like, yeah, maybe not for you, but like for me, it'd be different. It'd be different. I'm me and you're you. So, like, I don't necessarily think that let me find out for myself. Yeah. Right. And that's something that like fucking waste a lot of time in people's life is to let me find out for myself. So you could just take wisdom, you know? Yeah. Right. If you're open to it. Right. But instead we're like, let me make the mistake first and see for real. Let me run my own experiment, guy. Okay? Turn that money and everything. All right. Let me find out. Exactly, exactly. So then he was like, he's also talking about like, he's like that woman. It's like you don't love her. It's like she's beautiful and difficult to be with. And you think that if you, like, achieve her affection, then, like, you'll have love or be happy. It's like you're going to spend a lot of time, resource, energy, thought, space, anxiety to try to get something that you don't even necessarily want. It's like you want, you probably want love, but it's like this. This woman represents what you think you want in a partner because she's, like beautiful and difficult to be with. And then there's like a sense of like, then there's also this thing about like Type-A personalities, like you basically said, like Joe Rogan, your capacity to want to be a top tier martial artist might have just been like an anxiety disorder that was engineered to give you top performance. It's like you didn't. You had an anxiety about life, about your position, about about society as a whole. And then you were like, well, let me take that anxiety and let me do something very difficult. And and that will make me realize that, my anxiety doesn't, isn't like fettered anything real that like, I can overcome that stuff, but it's like, if you would have just overcome the anxiety, then you wouldn't have had to spend years and taken as many hits to the fucking head that you did to try to understand why you have anxiety. Because even when you become a number one martial artist, you're probably still gonna have anxiety to some degree. And then Joe Rogan laughs like super hard when he says that, because it's like, true, you know what I'm saying? So then Garyvee was also expressing this thing in a video where he's talking about like, here's me and then here's you, and then here's all the people in the world, a successful businesses, professional athletes, they're all just little dots man. And like here's one's like, nobody gives a fuck what you're going through. No one cares about, like your life and your problems like that much except for the people that matter to you. But like, you're looking at all these people out here thinking about their life, and I want to be like them and I want make me happy. It's just like we're all just people. We're all just people living a life. It's like if you can conceptualize that in the now and then, just do what you want to do or what you think you should do, that would be way better off than like looking at what everybody else has going on. Yeah, and trying to like adopt their problems basically. Or trying to make their solution. Your solution. Yeah. Or whatever to your your own individual insecurities. Right. Whatever it is. Yeah. So that kind of put me in this place of like really just like enjoying my life. Just like chillin. Yeah. Like I have the Mazda, but the Aventador wouldn't even make me feel any different. I probably feel a little harder. I drive a little faster. Sure, I'm driving pretty fast these days, but it's much closer. Of course, in the car I'm going crazy. But but I don't know, man. It just like eased out this tension where it's like Chris was like, be willing to take some of these lessons. Remember all the times you didn't take the lessons that people try to give you and then you, like, wasted your time and hurt yourself because you wouldn't take it. Then that like opened up my receptiveness and then he's like, when you get the Lamborghini, you're going to be like, it's not that much different than the Mazda. The novelty will wear off. Yes, it'll wear off it will. Then you're going to have the fucking insurance payment. Yeah. The car. No, the the anxiety of like, every speedbump. Exactly. All that shit. Like it was way easier to drive the Mazda. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, so much less stress. I was able to pull that into the now to some degree and it like tripled me down. Nice. Now I just in a collision course and I'm fucking chilling dude. Yes I fucking yeah I love that guy and I haven't I know I've seen him Chris is who I'm referring to. Chris Williamson right is his last name and he has his own podcast. I'm pretty sure it's called Modern Wisdom, I want to say, and I've seen Matthew McConaughey was on there. He's had multiple other like big names on his podcast, and he's like, definitely in that school of like, discipline and like getting yourself right, like self self-help to a degree, but like more practical. And it's like being hard and like doing the right thing and trying to manifest reality or trying to position yourself correctly to have like a good life more or less. And like, yeah, so I fuck with him heavily, like individually. That's all he was on Joe. I was like, oh shit, bro, this is gonna be a dope episode. He probably came out like a week ago or so, maybe a little bit less. Yeah. It's like I was excited about it. The second most recent, I think. I still am excited about it, dude. I'm like, I don't spoil any more for you. So I extrapolate some of that for you guys. We're a podcast about podcast. Sometimes we're just talking about we're influenced by culture, so we do. Before I get too far off, I so I remember I have a little story time, please. Story time. Listen, here's your turn. It happened yesterday. It was super strange. Super weird, because, I was walking. I was just walking. Walking Cosmo, walking Moby. As all know, if you check out my stories, I'm walking this motherfucker, like, every day. Like it's the same route. It's the same street down and back every day for, like, the last, like two years or so. So I've walked this walk with him, like, 700 times, and I'm walking and we're just doing our thing. That's it's been at least like 700 walks or so. And we're just walking by and there's, there's one particular house that jumps out because it's like literally orange. It's like different than all the other houses. It's orange. And there's a for the first time, I see the guy who, like, owns a house. He's like outside of his house, like spraying his lawn with like an roundup or whatever the fuck it is. It didn't say roundup on the thing, but it's like a a clear canister with some yellow, green, lime, lemon, lime, Gatorade color looking spray. And he's like, it's like spraying his lawn. And then I'm walking by with Cosmo, mind your own business. And I'm shirtless. I'm just what? Just woke up walking out the house? It's like a cool 65, 70 degrees outside. It feels great. I'm just. Yeah. Sunday morning, stroll in. Hell. Yeah. And then he's going. He's spraying his shit, and then he's like, hey, I don't like you. I forget what the exact words are, but he's like, don't your dog shit on my lawn. I'm just like, excuse me? He's like, don't let your dog shit on my lawn. I was like, okay. Like, even if he did, like I have, like I pick it up like I have poop bags. Like, even if he did like, and given that we've done this walk 700 times, he never poops there. Maybe once, maybe in the in the whole 700 times plus that we've done this walk is because he that house is like probably 75 to 80% of the way through the street. And if he poops, he typically poops, like at the very end of the street before we do our little down and back. So he like, we go all the way down the street and then all the way back to the house because like, our house is like the first or second house at the front of the street. So we walk all the way down and he poops around like the last house, typically like 80%, 90% of the way through the walk. And if he doesn't do it there, then he does it on the way back, like on the next couple of houses down. So I'm like, he doesn't he doesn't, he doesn't, you know, typically he won't. Yeah. And then I was just like what's your. And then he like is spraying his shit. And I'm like, even if he does poop on your lawn, like I would pick it up like I have poop bags. And he, like, proceeds to be like, don't there dog shit on my lawn? And then Cosmo's like, friendly dog, super sweet guy. He's he looks a little intimidating. He's half pit, half lab. So a little bulky. Little big head, little boxy head, little boxy jaw. It looks like I'll fuck you up. He might fuck you up. You might fuck you up. Very sweet. He's the sweetest dog. Super cuddly and like. So then Cosmo's like, starts a paddle over to him a little bit, and then he, like, starts to, like, spray at Cosmo with his fucking pesticides and like, what's your fucking problem, bro? And he's like, the only dog shit on my lawn. Like, shut the fuck up. And I was like, I'm shirtless. Like, I'm not a small dude. Like, I'm six, six foot six, two, like six one ish. And I'm like, shirtless. And I work out literally every day for the last, like 14 years, like I made joke. I'm not sure what you're doing, brother. Like, did you wake up with the thought of, like, how do I get my ass kicked today? What should I do? He's like 60. He's like 65. Like, not in shape at all. I'm just like, bro, I could end you right now. Like, what the fuck's your problem, bro? So, like, that was just like a. But yeah, the conversation ends pretty much. Am I? Shut the fuck up. And then we walk, we walk on, finish our walk or whatever. But it was funny because I was analyzing all this and I was like, in his mind, just his desired outcome is don't let your dog shit on my lawn. And maybe he has this, this desire to. For I had known to have no shit on his lawn, and it's like bothering him because he has external stressors that I don't know about. And maybe he has found shit in his lawn before. And there are extra stray dogs and extra like cats that kind of roll on that street. I've seen him multiple times, you know what I'm saying it like over the last week, I've seen at least 2 or 3. I've seen at least three, like separate and individual kind of not strays. Maybe. I think one of like maybe one of them is from the street over next door, and then maybe some of them are down from another house because some of them have collars and some of them don't. But I've seen just in the last week, three alone and over the course of the last 700 walks, I've seen at least like 5 to 10, those like kind of stray dogs or cats. So maybe like, those are shitting in his lawn and he's just like he's stressed about work, stress about his wife or whatever the fuck. And he's like taking it out on my dog and me. And I can see, like, he's putting all that on us. And I'm like, this is so unwarranted or whatever. And, but then outside of that, his desired outcome for this life thing here, he's trying to manifest a clean lawn. And, it's like the but his desired outcome is the clean lawn. But the way he's going about it is not going to result in the clean lawn, you know what I'm saying? Like, because he can't have the same desired outcome of clean lawn, but then he if he were to approach me and say, hey, man, like, I'm not sure if it's you, but like, there's been some like, I found some shit in my yard a couple times and like, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't do that or, like, if you picked it up, I'd be like, oh, yeah, I always pick it up. Like, I'll be sure to like, not to not, you know, if he does start to poop in your lawn, I'll pull him away or I'll help you in achieving your desired outcome in this reality. If you want to build together in a proper, you know, cohesive way, I mean, more than receptive for that. But if you're coming at me with, like, I'm going to spray my dog with pesticides and say, hey, don't throw your dog shit on my lawn, I'm like, fuck you. I'm going to sit on your porch, bitch. Yeah, exactly. Shit. I was there with you. I'm gonna make sure your lawn gets shit on that motherfucker. I would do it very well. I walked by it today. I was like, nah, he ain't got no ring cameras and no cameras and that. But I was like, I'm like, plotting to shit on this guy's lawn. No, it's like you're way of going about achieving your desired outcome is so fucked, bro. Like, why would you do that? There's so it's so unnecessary. I was like, this is so such a weird thing. This guy's like, turn it. We're all just trying to manifest reality here. We're all trying to achieve a desired outcome, whether you know it or not. That's the thing. His desired outcome might not have been his focus in that moment. Like, he meant he I don't he might not have gone into the conversation with you being like, hold on, let me try to get closer to my desired outcome. He might have been fucking hung over. Delusional wife killing him every night with fucking. Yeah, the super stressed about whatever the fuck. Sure. External stress. And he's like, that's my problem right there. Yes. It's like, no, it's not like my fucking, what's the fucking problem? That we're about to be a problem? Yeah, it's like that just the way you handle reality and interface with people is, like, so important, you know? And it's so it was such an easily avoidable thing. And it's like you don't want to have. Why would you go out of your way? I guess maybe, maybe he's like, was that's how he achieved a desired outcome when he was growing up. Like maybe he was like bullying other kids or whatever. I don't know, maybe that's how he saw his dad handle business or whatever the fuck, but you know what I'm saying? All right. Billions of other stressors or billions of other external factors that I have no idea what's going on. Sure, but it just struck me as like, you're you're playing the life game. Little shit right now. My guy, like, you're about to get some shit on your car hood. Like I'm about to shit on your fucking windshield, bro. Yeah. That's crazy. And like, yeah, I for you to be confrontational. Confrontational with someone in public to that degree is, like, pretty rare. Very rare. I'm a super chill guy. Super chill guy. Yeah, dude. And that for him to draw that out of you when he's trying to get something done, positive in his favor. Yeah. You want me to like to help you achieve this thing you want done and like, you're going to come at me with that energy, like, fuck you like, no, no, no, not not okay. It's like, those are the teeth we were talking about last episode. He was saying, yeah, okay. I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, I'm fucking, I'm sorry. Fuck you bitch. Like absolutely not. That's hard. Yeah. This is a random story time. I thought it was funny. That is hilarious. Analyzing it yesterday. Yeah, that's fucking hard. I mean, yeah, fucking weird guy. Yeah, I agree, in that moment it's probably better to be confrontational and mildly aggressive, especially the. Well, it's one thing for him to, like, just be like, cause I know we're not in the wrong. I know, like, I don't he does not sit there. Like if it was, it'd be another thing if I knew that Cosmo was always shitting on that law. Sure. And I wasn't picking it up. Exactly. If I knew that that was true, then I would have nothing to stand on to back up my teeth. You know what I'm saying? Or to make them sharper. But I was like, I had the truth on my side, bitch. And I got some sharp teeth, motherfucker. Yeah, I don't like shirtless right now. Like, do you, like, get on up your ass? Yeah. Totally. Totally. Well, Texas are always toting guns, so be careful. But I think if you see him holding roundup, you probably get there faster than he gets to his guy. Yeah. Two hands. Yeah. He had a hand on a bucket of roundup or whatever. The fuck. It wasn't a hand spraying the shit. So it's like we're like, as far away as we are right now, you know? It's like it takes me two steps. Two strides, and I'm in your fucking grill, old man. Yeah, and you're out of shape, dawg. Your fat like. Yeah, you're definitely not scaring anybody. Not me. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, maybe that's a you got to have the teeth, though, because someone else could have been super receptive to that bullshit. Yeah, like a kid or fucking. Yeah. Someone to take care of a woman or a woman. Small woman. Exactly. Yeah. It's like, nah, you're gonna treat me like that because that's. I'm not. I'm just trying to be a reflection of life, bro. I'm just trying to, like, reciprocate here, you know? So if you're coming at me with some bullshit, I'm gonna fucking magnify that bullshit and send it right back. That's like. That's like I'm with you. I think, my dad was telling me that sometimes I was asking about turn the other cheek. Right? Yeah. And he was saying, like. And your dad's like a pastor's theological degree. Doctorate? Yeah. Doctorate knows the Bible of the pastor and preaching. Went to SMU for, like, the whole thing, which is like one of the best universities for theology in America. Nice. He was telling me that one of the best, like, fucking like when people dive into something and do research and try to extrapolate, like, what's really going on, what did you just really mean when he said, turn the other cheek? It's like, so in that time and that area and that place, you know, I think about this a lot in the Bible. Like people would like wipe their ass with, like their leaves with, like their hands. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Get a leaf, bro. It's a fucking like a cave, man. I'm thinking of that. Right? I don't want this on my hand. Not like. Have you ever seen, like, I think like it's Slumdog Millionaire. I've seen that. I think they're, like, wiping their hands with their ass in that movie. But it's. It's like a thing in common in India coming in like that side of the world. Okay? Like you would, like, wipe your ass with your left hand, okay? Or your non-dominant. Yes. I'm thinking about that too. Why don't we have not continue? I talked to my dad about that. Do I get that dominant non-dominant hand? Most of the time, you just learn from your parents. It's like you could have been either handed, but it's like you just end up using one more than the other. I don't think so. Maybe I don't think so either. But my dad was saying that, like, if you trace it back as far as you can, it's really 5050. Really? Yeah. It's not like, it's not like a thing. It's not like a genetic predisposition. He's like, I guess I could see that a little bit. Left handed kids just end up, like, watching their dad do stuff with their left hand and then subconsciously, like, what's the right handed, though? It's like, that's not a thing. Yes it is. That's why my dad was saying, I don't like mom's left handed. And like no one else in our family is left handed. I think for whatever reason, maybe she just used her left hand for a pronounced reason when she was a kid and then like, developed that one because my brain was like, well, people are like, I dominant. So it's like, if I because I gotta throw shit, it's like I'm left eye dominant. And then I would use like my right hand. And he's like, yeah, but that's the same thing as handedness. It's like you would just use whichever opposite of your handedness to develop. This is the I that I point with because now I'm crossbody. It balances me out. Yeah. Okay. But we can do some more research on that later because I took the same thing that you're saying to my dad. I was like, bullshit. Yeah. What are you talking about? People are left handed. They're getting. They are, but okay. Anyways, so you wipe your ass with your non-dominant hand. Disgusting. Love it. Yeah, yeah. Culturally, it was usually the left, so maybe on that side of the world, like, there's more right handed dominant people because you. It was cultural because you would eat with your right hand. You wouldn't eat with your left hand like that because you've been wiping your ass with it. Yeah. And then also, like for thieves, they would cut off the right hand. So they would have to use their left hand for like, public trading and stuff like that, which is like culturally, like no one wants to do business. Someone wants to shake hands with the hand that you're wiping your ass with. Yeah. Everyone shakes hands. It's like the the common emote. The emote, the emote of handshake is initiated with the right hand, like 99% of the time. So part of that is culturally, because way back in the day, you would wipe your ass with your left hand. So it was like, really? You would never shake like a respectable person's left hand, like you wouldn't do. You wouldn't put that out there for them. Yeah. So then part of it is like, feces. Yeah, right. Fuck you man. So then disrespectful. My dad was saying that, like, so if someone were going to slap you, okay, you would probably use, my hand. Let me make sure I get this right. And he would, you would use your dominant hand, and I think that, you would, like, backhand them. That's how people saw it back in the day. Okay, so then if you slapped my cheek like that, then Jesus was saying on some level, like, turn your other cheek and make them slap you respectably. It's like, that's how you slap a bitch because you use the backhand and you fucking disrespect them like that. It's like, oh, you want to slap me? Slap me with your open hand, use your fucking open hand, slap me, slap me like I'm a fucking man, okay? And that's kind of what Jesus was saying was like, oh, if you're going to slap me, slap me like a man. If you're going to do it like that, because it's not like, turn the other cheek and just forgive them. It's like, give them your other cheek. So yeah, come on, slap me again. It's like, oh, that right here. It's like you do it like a man. No. Respect me. Look me in the eyes when you do it like you want to slap me. Like you know. Don't treat me like I'm dog shit because you want to slap somebody. It's like if you think I deserve this, actually do it to me. And I was like, that's hard. As fuck, dude. What's different than, like, look the other way? Exactly. That's what I was trying to present. Like, well, what about turning the other cheek? He's like, you don't even know what that means, dog. The Bible is deep. It's just written in Greek. Totally. That's Mars. But yeah. So on some level it's like, because the other thing is like, if you because once you backhand someone with your right hand and then you turn the cheek, you wouldn't backhand someone with your left hand because that's like your shit hand. It's like you'd have to open palm, slap them. And so it's like, yeah, that that's kind of the reference point for it's like, use your oh, open your hand up. Don't treat me like I'm a peasant or like I'm a slave or something. You're going to, like discipline a child with your backhand. It's like if you want to slap me like, here's my other cheek. Like I'm in position myself in a way that you would have to, like, open hand, like more or less assault me. It's like if you're going to do it, like, treat me like a man. Yeah, yeah. Damn, that's fucking crazy. And then part of it, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm like, that's like, doesn't make sense to me. That's. That's a wild. That's not what I heard from the Bible. Meaning, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. My dad's like I learned from people that learn from people. I learn from people, like, spend their life studying this stuff. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm telling you, like going back to the, like, they they learned Hebrew for this shit. Yeah, right. Like, on some level to get ordained. Part of that, like, culture and tradition is to, like, you're like, touched on the shoulder by someone who was touched on the shoulder by someone who was touched on the shoulder, by someone who's touched on the shoulder all the way back to Jesus. And then they keep that. They kept that lineage alive, like all the way, allegedly all the way until today's time. And then, like, that's supposed to be like a reference or a metaphor for, like, the study of the theology. It's like you have been touched by the knowledge of someone who has been touched by the knowledge. And it goes like all the way back. Yeah. And so keep that chain strong. On that note, my dad's like, we should do a podcast because people don't know, like, what stuff gets like misdiagnosed and miss reference to a lot colloquially in conversation in America. And then we start developing this belief systems where you come to me and saying, well, someone shoots me, shouldn't I just turn the other cheek? He's like, no, no, you should not. It's like Jesus said, there was a time for like the the, the rakes to turn into swords. It's like you said that. Like there's a time for everything under the sun. There's a time for war. There's time for peace. There's a time for this is the time for that. It's like when David killed Goliath. It was just time for the sling to turn into a, like a a gun weapon. Yeah, a weapon. Exactly. And I was just like, yo, that's wild. Much different than, like how we had digested it before. Yeah, yeah. Or like this reminds me of Jordan Peterson with the clarification on Joe's podcast. I mean back in 2017, 2018 where he's like the definition of what meek is supposed to be telling you or like what the idea behind that really is. Yeah. If I don't just be meek and, like, quiet and humble and or like overly humble and overly like me, like a bunny, like, yeah, totally. You gotta have some teeth and you gotta have a sharp sword in the sheath. Yeah, that's like meek was a definition for, like a samurai who would keep his sword in the sheath. That was being meek is like, I could eviscerate you. I'm a trained samurai, but I'm going to leave my sword in the sheath. That was like the definition of meek way back then. And then like now, our definition of meek is different. You know what I'm saying? It's like coy, you're like a mouse. Yeah, totally. Don't be mouse like. Nah. So, like, the name Meek Mill makes way more sense in that context. You know what I'm saying? What kind of rapper? It would be like I'm a coin mill person. This is like ILM real quick. It's a that I am a quiet l I'm tripping. Cause when I hit this, it's weeks out my microphone. I was like, what is that? Like the electronics, the electronics are communicating, right? It's weird. Yeah, man. But yeah. So that was a that was a funny, funny way to start my Sunday dude. And and it was funny too because I, it was, it was prefaced. It was fucking foreshadowed. It was so funny because okay, I was even telling you, oh my God, I'm going back and back baby go in the echoes in the shadows. Bitch was fucking in this story. Yeah I'm in the sauna. One day Guy walks in playing his fucking Joe Rogan podcasts and he's like, hey man, is it cool? If I had this podcast on, is it bother you? Like, absolutely not, man, I love Joe Rogan. Blueberry, blueberry. Shoot the shit. I'm out of there. Next day I come into the sauna. Different guy comes in with this music playing on his phone. Kirk Franklin, praise God. Amen. And he's like, hey man, my my mind if I have my music playing, is it bother you at all? Like, absolutely not, man. I fucking love Kirk Franklin. Quite the opposite actually. Whatever. The next day in the sauna, the same guy who was praying, playing Kirk Franklin comes in and we're chopping it up. I'm like, oh, what's up bro? Well, we're we're chopping it up in the sauna and shit. And then he it was funny because I was talking to you about it at work. And I was like, man, I hate when people does fucking pour the water on the hot rocks in the sauna. Even though it's an electrical fucking box. It's not like a steam room where you put water on actual hot rocks and it makes more steam and it makes it hotter. This is like an electrical box that has electricity running through it that are coils that are running really, really hot and heats up the rocks that way with the electric coils so you don't put water on the electric coils, bro. So link to the what the rocks. Yeah. It's going to touch like drip on the motherboard or whatever the fuck operates this electrical box that makes it hot in here. And so the guy that was playing Kirk Franklin came in. I didn't know it was him at first, though. He he comes in and he's like, I don't want if I pour water on this, I'm like, nah, man, I don't think you're supposed to, bro. Like, I don't think you supposed to do that. Like, it's not good for you that just because it says don't do it. But like, yeah, legitimately I don't think it's what you're supposed to do. Yeah. He's like, that's what it is. I think it makes it hotter in here. I'm like, nah bro. It's like it's an electrical box. It might make it hotter in here. Perceptive, but like, you're not suppose to be breathing that shit in. It's not good for your lungs or for your overall health. Not good for you. It says don't. It says do not put water on the hot rocks and we're going to break the sauna. So don't do it. Yeah, I need this. I love this place. Don't fuck it up. This place is perfect the way it is. Don't totally try to add your own spin on it. It's like, just leave it the way it is. And then it was a Kirk Franklin guy. When you sat down, he's like, oh, shit, I didn't even know that, bro. And he was like super receptive to that, like confrontation. And I was like, then. Then we start chopping it up, whatever's talking. And then I was like, how long do you typically go in here? And then he's like, I usually don't set a timer. He's just like, feel like when I get to that point and I try to dip, I'm like, yeah, I try. I go for like 20 minutes or so and he's like, oh damn, man, 20 minutes is a long time. I don't know if I can do 20 minutes and like, that's like, that's kind of the point is. Yeah. Yeah. It's a of water on the fucking set of the sacrifice. I was like, bro. Yeah, you should just like that. That's the kind of the point though. I love this place because I, I'm willingly choosing to go into an uncomfortable situation and stay in that uncomfortable situation and like, then that's where the work starts is when you when once you get, okay, I want to get out of here. That's when it starts. Fuck yeah. That's like when you're just like, that's what that was Arnold philosophy and lifting weights. He's like, I wouldn't start counting the reps until I wanted to stop in the reps for like, sit ups or whatever, because like that I would go to 20, like after I was like, okay, I want to stop. Okay. Now I'm 20 now. You know, I'm saying I felt that today doing that pull downs because I would get to like seven every time in the last day were so hard. Like that was failure more or less. Yeah. And then I would like let it hang for a second. I'll be like, okay. And I felt those last three reps on all four sets were like the money reps. That's what the growth is. I got out of there. My forearms were like, I was like, I don't feel this that often. I was like, I do more of those, like, I'm fat reps. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So I was yeah, I was like, this is I love the sauna for it's good for your immune system, good for like, your health and like your overall like your cardiovascular health and it's just it's just so good for you and your mental because I was that's kind of how I bridge it into the uncomfortability, you know. So like I come here, I come here to intentionally make myself uncomfortable. And then I push past it and he's like, man, that's fucking beautiful, bro. Like, and we're just like chopping it up like that. And then he's like, yeah, because if you don't, if you're not able to put yourself in the uncomfortable place and have that uncomfortable conversation or whatever the uncomfortable thing is, then you're not going to grow. And I was like, exactly, bro. And he's like, man. Like we were we were just chopping it up. We were just spinning bars at each other, bro. It was beautiful. It's like it's high. And then, yeah, when I walked out, I was like, what your name bro? He's like, yeah, Reggie man. We chop it up like, man, you blessed me today bro. Like thank you so much blah blah blah. So I'm in the gym today. Gave him some daps that was up. But it was funny because he was like, if you're going to be willing to have that uncomfortable conversation, not to be able to grow. And then that was Saturday and then Sunday walking the dog, that motherfucker started to spray. Maybe I'm like, fuck you, bro, that's not cool, dog. That's why I got to oh two. It'd be one thing for the guy to just talk shit to you for no reason. Like it's really easy for me to ignore that. Like, I saw this meme that said, you know, you're growing when the stuff that used to make you mad makes you laugh. And I am at that point now where, like, someone is just, like, clearly out of pocket, like I literally think it's funny now. It's like I have enough security and confidence. You're silly. I'm tapped into reality. I know what the fuck's going on here. So if you're talking bullshit, it's just like, this guy's struggling. Like you're a goose, bro. You're a clown. Yeah, exactly. But then. So like. But then it's spray your dog though. That was, that was like. That's where the line got crossed for sure. No F-bombs or drop until the ball does. Like, what's your fucking problem? Yeah. Fuck yeah. Let them know. I mean like, yeah, dude, someone fucking, like, damages your car in Texas. You can fucking shoot them. Yeah, it's your domicile. Or, like, your personal property. Like your personal property. Yeah, exactly. It doesn't have to be domicile like Breaking Bad, per se, because it's personal property. So if anyone's, like, damaging your personal property, then you can defend it like it's your life because it's also a threat. If they're willing to damage your personal property, they might be willing to damage you too. Yep. So, like, I don't know if the same transfer is a dog. I've never seen someone shoot someone because someone attacked their dog, but, like, you know, I think your aggression was warranted. Yeah, in the court of law, it's like if I assaulted him because of that, I think it's it's not like I just assaulted this guy randomly. You know, I'm saying I was provoked and he was he was assaulting my, my family, you know, saying that's my that's my son. That's where we'd have to get the fuck out of here, bitch. That's my baby. That's my baby dog, bro. He's actually not cool. Yeah. I don't know if I'd love to find out if that would hold up in the court of law. I'm not sure I need a lawyer friend to talk about, but, like, if someone sprays ketchup. I saw this video of this, like, lady. She got pissed off at these guys in a restaurant, and she's like, spray them with ketchup. And then this lawyer cuts in and he's like, I seen that guy. Yeah, he's one of those types of videos. He's like a little bit chubbier lawyer. He's really funny. Okay. He's cool. He's like, that was asinine. And this acid ten. But let's break it down like love it. And he's like, yeah, that's assault. Totally assault. Should go to jail for ketchup, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, like the pesticide kill your dog. Yeah, yeah. Fuck, yeah. Not yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think if I'm a lawyer, I'm fighting for me, you know? So I'm fine for my case, for sure. If I do it, if I'm his lawyer, how do I fight? How do I fight that case? It's like. It's like, nah. Yeah, you lost, bro. Like, I just, like, ran it through it on my head. He's on his property. I don't know if that gives him the right to hurt you on his property. That's the thing. But we weren't on his property. I guess we were on the sidewalk and there was no sidewalk. We were on the street, okay? On the streets, a little different. Yeah. We weren't. We weren't on his grass. We were on the street. I don't know what kind of rights animals have. It's maybe your personal property. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. If he's not a person, he's personal property. Yeah. And both are okay. Yeah. He's not neither. Yeah. He's definitely like, you know, important and like part of my life. And you can't just, like, break my car or break a window in my house or shoot my dog or whatever the fuck I had this one teacher who was a lawyer that basically told me if I ever wanted to saw someone just grab a bat. It's like, keep a bat in the back of your car, dude. What? Like you got like, what if something happens and it pisses you off? Go and grab a bat, beat him up with the bat. I can get you off. We'll call it a crime of passion. It's like I've done it several times. So, like someone just like something happens and someone just fucking grabs a tennis racket and starts going apeshit. Crime of passion, dude, that's not assault. It's like you were your emotions were evoked and then you were no longer in your normal state of mind. It's almost like being insane. But it's not. It's still you still get some time, maybe not time, but you still get some kind of penance, some repercussions, some sort of community service or some shit. Fine. Right. But it's going to be something better if you call me. Yeah. It's like doctor, the fuck was his name? And he was the best. I can see my mind's eye, I don't know. But anyways, if I were your lawyer, I'd go to the rack for you on that. I take him to the rack? Yeah, for sure. I fuck that guy. You got the right judge. Just got a dog at home. Done. Yeah. It's like, do you have a dog, your honor? You have a son, your honor. Totally. Come on now. Yeah. You remember, and it was unwarranted. That's the other thing. Your mind in our own business, bro. He. He invoked us or he provoked us, or he. Like, I was just walking. And then he's like, interject dialog. And I was like, press a what's going on here? Yeah. You said you felt threatened to. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Absolutely. Yeah. Here's aggressive coming at you 100%. Yeah. Fuck that guy man. Fuck yeah. So, that's that's not how you go about solving your problems, y'all. No, no, I think you did the right thing. Not just whooping his ass. Yeah, that wasn't gonna up his ass. He's just like I might have, though. You showed up how he provoked even further or, like, you know, gone even a little bit harder on it or whatever the fuck you doing. It's like Verna Knuckle. There's been a couple times with literal dogs, like, scary, kind of scary dogs, like big dogs. And like, maybe I go into, like, the one time specific. I remember I went to our friend TJ's house and he had a dog and then the dog, like, he's like, yeah, a dog is kind of wild up sometimes. Like, he doesn't know you. Well, he might, like, not be super receptive to you. And then the dog came out and starts talking to her. And then he, like, gets her to spring up at me, and I just, like, drop down into, like, a defensive stance, and I'm like, I don't say like, But I'm like, hey, like that. And the dog just like, oh, like ran off. And he was like, I've never seen anybody like, disarm that dog like that. That was fucking crazy. Like. And he looks his girlfriend's like, did you just see that? And they're like, that was wild. And I was just like, I don't even know where that came from in me. I'm a dog. Yeah, I'm a big dog. You're right. I was just like, narc. I was like, let me show you real quick. And then that also translate to like what you did to that guy too. In my mind, it's like sometimes just got to be like, nah, bro. Like, let me show you what you're working with. You know what I'm saying? I'm not sure how you handle life outside of this interaction right here, but you can't just, like, bulldoze everything. Like, I'm a fucking. I'm a mountain bitch. Like you ain't gonna move me, dog me as a rhino. Yeah. Fuck that car. Yeah. No, I think and the other thing is that that kind of behavior is, like, predatory on weak willed people to enforce. Well, on weak willed people. It's like enforcing will if it's not in line with truth, I'm not into it. And then if you want to use predatory technique to enforce, well, that's not in line with truth. That's where I'm like, no, I need to pull this out. Do I need to fucking, like, disarm you like I would disarm a dog that doesn't know that he shouldn't fuck with me? You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And I don't know if that's right or wrong, but, that I think he did the right thing. I felt right, it felt right, you know? So I got a super, like, had a character to degree, super chill guy, super chill. I don't think I'm super like I gel with pretty much everyone. All the time. Always. I've never seen you get into it with anybody I can't like, remember? I like, not like that bro. Not like that. Never had a bar. Never. I don't even know what we do. Never at the gym. Yeah. No, dude, I've never seen you get into it with a guest at any restaurant I've ever worked at. Maybe. Maybe, like one story where you were, like, not submissive to someone who was bullshitting. But even so, you're usually just, like, funny. Like, sorry. You're breaking my heart. You break my heart. Sorry. You cut me deep. You kidding? Be deep, dog. I'm saying, man. Come on, bro, I think we're right about there on a timeframe, right? Yeah. Yeah, totally. You know, find a sign off for the day. So little quick little mini pill, little shotgun, little pump, pump action. Saw it off. Action. Follow on. Oh, yeah. Just keep it in rotation. Keep it steady. Yeah. Keep it steady. We'll have this one come out next week I guess this is we had one come out today. This is 73. 73 is coming out next week. But yeah man hopefully your life is going well regardless. Live and learn, laugh and grow. That's what we're here to do. Yeah. Give a fuck. You're good. Don't get stepped on. Don't get walked over. Don't get pushed over. Develop some teeth. Talk the moral moral of that story. Have some teeth ready. You know say have some teeth ready because fuck that. Totally. The Lamborghini won't help you feel happy. The giant house, the beautiful woman. It's like those things aren't going to cure anxiety or help you find self-satisfaction. True confidence. It's like those are like separate entities and you could waste a whole lot of your life trying to get something to give you this thing. Yeah. And the other part is, I think it helped me realize that art music is like our art is as good as anybody's art. I watch a Rick Rubin video that also made me feel like that. It's like that we're just not fully maximizing to our potential. If we can maximize our full potential, like grow into who we could be, our art would be like Leonardo da Vinci. That's all he did. It's not that he was like better per se than the other artists. I think he just fulfilled his potential more than the other artists. And the fucking Aventador and the the model girls. Those are going to limit your ability to fulfill your potential. It's like, go to the gym, but don't go to the gym to fix your insecurity, fix your insecurity and go to the gym. It's like there are two different things I once I could separate. Those also felt much more like all I want to do is maximize my potential as an artist. And I think that's the key to to truly unlocking the life for you. Yeah. Fuck yeah. What's on the for the sign off? That's it baby, I love it. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Have a have a great rest of your life. See you on the flip. The pillow turns over colors. Then we'll see you on the other side.
