Speaker 2 0:56

In case you couldn't tell and it's, uh, it's the, it's the fat daddy, skinny fat daddy the fat daddy the fat daddy man. Let's start by talking about how we feel currently.

Speaker 1 1:15

Not all, not everybody at once wow, because I feel like that's a, that's a loaded question, almost wow. Yeah, that's like one of those like when somebody asks you, are you okay and you're not, but you keep lying and saying that you are.

Speaker 2 1:29

That's what you do. You just say yeah, because if you're not okay, then what the fuck are they gonna do about it?

Speaker 1 1:33

nothing I feel like that pair of socks that we saw at the at the vinyl shop do you remember what it says? I'm, I'm what the fucking my way through all this shit right now. There you go, bro, yeah that's how you feel.

Speaker 2 1:44

I feel like something big is coming, because when I feel this low, something something's coming. It has no other way of going.

Speaker 1 1:52

This is the valley, this is I'm in the valley, been in the valley, so there's got to be some peak this is one of those things where I feel like life has been whipping ass, so it's like you're about due for a win, or not, bro because you might have a long season of spring, fall, winter and summer.

Speaker 2 2:16

Just a long season and then you might have another four of just losses.

Speaker 1 2:20

That's possible.

Speaker 2 2:20

You got to be ready for that. That's true grit right there.

Speaker 1 2:23

It's been. In my experience, though, when life has has been juggling me the way I think it has been, it's a win not too far away you feel like you're being juggled? Yeah, I feel like I'm being stomped by life's elephant when I say life is juggling you, it's like you can't catch your footing because it keeps like okay, you've played mortal kombat or tekken, right? Yeah you know, when somebody keeps whooping your ass and you can't land a move, like they're juggling you in the air like they keep, oh that that's like that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 2:51

That's that's why I said when life juggles you yeah, I'm thinking clowns no, no no juggling. I'm like that's being more like fighting game and somebody keeps throwing combos and you can't even your feet, can't even hit the ground, so you could throw some shit back yeah, just getting hit you in the air, just bouncing back and forth. There you go exactly how'd you again? That's the shit that make you.

Speaker 2 3:09

You're cheating you're a button masher. You don't even know what combos you just do the same move do the same move again you can't people like that.

Speaker 1 3:17

Yo, I hate it, but yeah, that's that when I say life is juggling you, that's what what I mean. So there's the clarification.

Speaker 2 3:24

Okay, yeah, I was about to say I'm getting scraped on the bottom of someone's shoe like Plankton on SpongeBob. That's how I feel, Ah. Ah Like they thought that they got it off the shoe but, they're just not sure, so they just keep going.

Speaker 1 3:38

It's like when you try to scrape gum off your shoe.

Speaker 2 3:40

Yeah, bro. Or like dog doo-doo when it's like in the, in the tracks and crevices, and you just can't get it deep in the soul, but they just keep grinding you on the asphalt bro yeah, I feel that too there we go. I'm in the goo lagoon but I'm not relaxing, bro. I'm getting boiled. I'm getting char broiled. I'm on the broil setting in the oven when you forget that something's in there damn what did he say? What did andre three say, when you're an aunt?

Speaker 2 4:07

and you're about to drive your kid to school, but you realize that you you left the light on in your car, and so your battery's dead that to make that the track of a song is crazy. But that's for later.

Speaker 1 4:21

We're gonna talk about andre 3000's newest album that that actually thoroughly pissed me off hold on, I'm not, I'm not gonna get into it. But that shit pissed me off.

Speaker 2 4:32

I'll hold, I'll reserve it for later some of our listeners probably don't even know who three sacks is, but it's cool, we'll educate y'all later. Oh wow, today's episode is episode 15. Okay, so I'm gonna double down on what I said about something big coming, because of what this means and no, I'm not a numerology freak, I just think it's cool because sometimes it makes sense the meaning of the number 15 it combines the energies of one new beginnings and five adventure, symbolizing independence, curiosity and fresh starts.

Speaker 1 5:04

I'm gonna pause right there, because boy is it a fresh start yeah, yeah I wouldn't say fresh, it's like a, it's like a, just it's a cold start for me I feel like it's one of those you just gotta hit the ground, running like you just kind of just gonna this is like you're at the top of the hill and you're about to like run down, but somebody just pushes you and you just like just tumbling down.

Speaker 2 5:28

Yeah, you just like hit that gravity spiral down the hill, and that's where. That's what this is.

Speaker 1 5:33

This is also how I imagine, like if you were like a paratrooper or something I might not even be saying the right name for it, but if I was like in the army or something and I just got drafted, I don't know shit about fighting, right, but they got me strapped up and I got my, got my gear, my parachute, my gun and all that, and they just kicked me off the plane and all right, go fight war and you're like you're just falling out of the helicopter and you're like, oh wait, I have a parachute.

Speaker 2 5:58

But you like can't figure out which lever because you don't remember what they told you, even if I get the parachute open once I land, it's like shit.

Speaker 1 6:02

What do I do now? But you can't. You don't remember what they told you. Even if I get the parachute open once I land, it's like shit. What do I do now? But you don't got time to think.

Speaker 2 6:07

You got to fight you just react, you adjust, you figure the shit out.

Speaker 1 6:11

That's how I feel, so yeah, this is a fresh start.

Speaker 2 6:14

It's like a fresh wound Ooh, and then you pour alcohol in it, like on waist deep Remember.

Speaker 1 6:20

Yeah, when he got shot. That sounds horrible.

Speaker 2 6:22

That's it, though. That's what makes you better you go through the pain. Didn't he make a song about that? What's his name? Frankie Beverly. Joy and pain is like sunshine and rain.

Speaker 1 6:31

True.

Speaker 2 6:32

There you go. Wow, you got to take it back All the way back or we can go to training day, bro, he sat down. He was fried. After getting uh, what's his name? Lonzo gave him some weed, right, it was laced with pcp, yeah, and he was sitting there at the dude's house talking about smiles and cries, right, yeah, they thought he was saying bullshit, but me and bro determined that man was spitting. Life is all about smiles and cries that's.

Speaker 2 6:58

That's a fact this is the cry yeah and through the cry you become a better person. You know how to express your emotions. You know how to express your emotions. You know how to communicate them, even when you don't feel like it. And then when you smile, bro, it's actually a genuine smile, not like the bullshit faking that people do on their timelines when they're not actually happy what a take I have to. I don't know if that even made sense. Chat you, let me know if I'm lost what a take.

Speaker 2 7:22

I like that I feel like kanye, bro, he just he has a lot of he has a lot of yeah, hell yeah I'm hella misunderstood. Uh, what's the quote that I said before? People have a heavy misread on my disposition. Shout out to drake, because that is completely true not.

Speaker 2 7:38

You feel like kanye I feel like kanye drake, all the people who are absolutely batshit crazy. That's what I feel like to my core, because of how people misread my lack of I'm very stoic, so you can't read me. So because you can't read me, you make assumptions about what you think I'm thinking rather than asking me a question, because most people are pussy and don't ask questions.

Speaker 1 8:01

Interesting.

Speaker 2 8:02

Yeah, anyways, like I said, I feel like Kanye Moving on, it's an angel number. Okay, one in five signifies positive change, personal growth and new beginnings, often indicating divine support in your journey. Where the fuck is the support at? Maybe I'm rushing it, sorry, I'm out here getting shit on um. Supports on on the way.

Speaker 1 8:24

Yes.

Speaker 2 8:24

If I believe in numerology, yes. In the context of a birthday number, it reads 15. Relates to the theme of home health, harmony and nurturing. The fuck is the nurturing at? Is this speaking to you? It's going right through me.

Speaker 1 8:41

I am wondering, I'm like what part is it?

Speaker 2 8:43

We're going to call this episode the pessimist episode. It ain't, we ain't gonna stay here, but yeah, I try not to be a pessimist.

Speaker 1 8:51

I try, no, no, no, we're not saying we are pessimists.

Speaker 2 8:53

But this moment you have every right to express yourself and be like yo. I'm feeling like shit today no, for sure something big's coming, but it's not here yet. I'm pissed off about that, but I'm still here.

Speaker 1 9:03

I ain't gonna quit, but this shit, this shit's stupid let this be like a negative dump, if you will just gotta get it like all the dummies that do right, do that on instagram. I'm sorry if y'all do photo dumps, but that's photo dump to clear out space for the new pictures. You got a clear out space.

Speaker 2 9:18

The only way that's a legitimate photo dump is if you delete them well, I'm saying'm saying like you just get them all. Oh, I got to put something on the gram for the people to see what I've been up to. That's so gay bro.

Speaker 1 9:28

New to y'all, old to me.

Speaker 2 9:30

Oh my God, take me back.

Speaker 1 9:33

Oh, I know I get it, though you got to dump all the negative shit out to get some positive.

Speaker 2 9:39

Spiritually, here we go the go. The number 15 encourages personal growth and self-discovery, guiding individuals toward their potential. These interpretations highlight the multi-faceted significance of the number 15 in various aspects of life. I think this is bullshit. I think it's entertaining it sound good though the fact that people wholeheartedly embody and live by numerology is crazy I mean, people could probably say that about us believing in god you could everybody needs something to believe in.

Speaker 2 10:13

Everybody's got to be crazy in some way. But numbers though, this ain't. No. What does the number do other than like, help you actualize something? You know what I mean. Like if you believe in that, like I got a thing for nine, I have a whole thing about nines, that doesn't mean I'm doing stuff, because nine is a number like, oh yeah, because seven, eight, nine. No, it's not that, it's just that's what I focus on and fixate on, and so that's what I see. Of course, it's just like you get a car and you start seeing your car all over the place. It's a biased way of thinking, and if that helps you stay sane, sure, but if this is everything to you, I'm a little bit concerned I mean, I feel like it's the equivalent to people who have like crystals and believe in chakras and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 10:58

You know, it's like it's all whatever helps you cope in in this thing we call life I'd rather go snort cocaine and believe in some shocker shit that's, that's a heavy stream. Give me the chakras anytime.

Speaker 2 11:12

No bro, I'm gonna take a bump god oh god, oh no, thank you yeah I feel like I can lift a tree up. Yeah, you're on your own on that one I mean I haven't, haven't done it, but I'm just saying, if I'm going to believe in some rocks and shit, bro, that's.

Speaker 1 11:29

Wow, wait, quick side note. Should we mention where we're at, because I know that you could probably like.

Speaker 2 11:33

Nah, who cares bro? We parked out on the side of the road, looking like a bunch of hobos in a park.

Speaker 1 11:38

That All right, you brought it up Go ahead.

Speaker 2 11:41

Where are?

Speaker 1 11:42

we at we're at a park. It's a nice day outside. You know, we changed the scenery because we usually pod in the wee hours of the morning.

Speaker 2 11:50

Which, by the way, last episode was trash. I'm so sorry. The quality, Not the content. The quality was garbage. So we got back to where you know. We came back, Ha.

Speaker 1 12:07

To where it's supposed to be. We were trying something out. But I say this to say y'all might hear cars passing in the background or you might not. So I might have you know we might have just did this for no reason.

Speaker 2 12:13

But it's all right, bro, this is all raw. Like you, nasty people like it. We don't do edits, we don't cut anything out. You get real-time conversation. I think that's what makes this pod unique. We don't do post-production, really, unless we're writing something and maybe some clips which, by the way, once we get over to the East Coast which I think we told y'all we're moving to the East Coast. We're moving to the East Coast.

Speaker 1 12:35

In case you didn't know.

Speaker 2 12:36

We will be doing video podcasts too, so we're going to have to look you dweebs in the face.

Speaker 1 12:45

Yeah, look you dweebs in the face. Yeah, no, actually no, we ain't gonna look at y'all. Y'all gotta look at us.

Speaker 2 12:48

I'm saying y'all get to put a face to the voices. Yeah, they're gonna be like that's not quite what I thought they looked like. For those of you that know us, then, yeah, that's cool, but for the new ones that don't know us, they're gonna be like, wait a minute, that's them I am curious as to what type of image they painted in their minds.

Speaker 1 13:01

Or we might be exactly who they, who they thought we were when is that ever really the case? That happens sometimes. Not often, but it happens.

Speaker 2 13:09

I was about to say bro, I have met plenty of people. I'm like that is not what I thought you looked like, based on the conversation we had over the phone and I've met people that, like you know, when I see them I'm like.

Speaker 2 13:18

Your voice matches the way that you look I don't know if they know how handsome I am. Yo, pull up the drink, because we about to get into the first one. Bro, I just want to. We not going to stay on this one long, but this joint has been on the timeline for enough to be something All right.

Speaker 1 13:36

This whole.

Speaker 2 13:37

This whole yeah, 100 men versus one gorilla.

100 Men vs One Gorilla Debate

Speaker 1 13:43

First can I just say the fact that this topic has become so viral the way that it has because people like to argue about shit. That doesn't matter this shit made it to the news they're talking about on the news of course they had to bring in the the gorilla expert, that's to talk about it that's insanity. There's so much shit going on in the world. Are we talking about this pointless ass debate?

Speaker 2 14:01

that's the problem that it's never gonna happen go ahead, go off continue I'm not about to go off. This is this right here is about to be the most simple explanation.

Speaker 1 14:12

When you look at quantity and brain capacity and capability, this is not an argument that's true it's not and I did hear somebody else say I don't know if it was you or I heard in the video but they're like y'all people used to hunt mammoths and shit.

Speaker 2 14:27

That was. Yeah, shout out to the mallory, bro that was them that said that's right. Four people, that's true, and you know how big they are in comparison to a gorilla I'm saying they was hunting these big ass things with what some spears? There's no context to this situation. It's a hundred men and one gorilla. You don't know if they're armed or not.

Speaker 1 14:46

If they're armed, this is not even a discussion let's say, for the sake of the argument that it's you know, y'all don't got weapons because the gorilla don't got, we're gonna be in the jungle what we got?

Speaker 2 14:55

fruit. You know how hard it you ever been hit with a mango before you're not gonna fight this. You ever been hit with bruh? Are you kidding me? That's crazy what if? It's a couple look out of a hundred of them.

Speaker 1 15:05

Let's just say three of them are pitchers what you think we've been, what you think we finna, do you're gonna be, what do you think?

Speaker 2 15:14

what if a couple of them was quarterbacks and they just have accuracy like that?

Speaker 1 15:17

you ain't even gotta get close no, but y'all might just piss it off even more that's the point.

Speaker 2 15:22

What person do you know is actually strategizing when they're angry? That's the strategy in boxing irritate your opponent and piss them off so that they're not thinking strategically. Now you can take advantage of them. This is what gorilla's brains don't do. That's the thing. All right, oh, you got a hundred brains alone, and they're men. Who knows what kind of men these are?

Speaker 1 15:46

okay. So since you you strategic, you read the art of war on it, so you think it's best that they all, like you, don't even gotta know that. I mean no, but I'm saying like if y'all coming at him with no weapons and stuff, y'all throwing fruits and sticks or whatever may have you are, is it best that y'all split up? Are y'all gonna?

Speaker 2 16:02

y'all gonna stay in one group and why on earth will we stay in one group? What sense does that make? Anybody with logic would come at this from different angles. He is one gorilla. He can't be in several places at once. He's getting bing bop, boom, boom, boom, bop, bam from all these different angles. He's going to get frustrated. Their, their endurance ain't even like that. He's to get tired and fucking lay over Like you're getting hit with so much shit. We bust him in his eye. His nose can't see. What if they throw some shit in his eye? And now he can't see. What is a gorilla that can't see the fuck you going to do? Listen to us, you ain't got supernatural hearing. Are you kidding me?

Life is Juggling Us Right Now

Speaker 1 16:45

People are really tripping if they think this is an issue. There's a hundred of us I mean, hey, I, I get it, I get it and yes, the 100 might win, but not all y'all gonna make it out of that one, no one said that we was all gonna come out unscathed it might be half of y'all that live to tell the tale that's yeah y'all, y'all gonna win, half y'all not gonna go live to see it though just like bro said, it's gonna be some of us left to celebrate that there are gonna be some casualties.

Speaker 2 17:08

Oh, that's sure. That's inevitable, for sure. The argument is who would win? And if y'all think for one second that one gorilla is cooking a hundred men that are logical and prepared to die, you're insane.

Speaker 1 17:23

You are actually not smart at all they should shake shit up and say like what? Maybe like three gorillas versus a hundred niggas even that you feel like even that's not that's not 97 additional brains to those three? Yeah, no I don't know, nope, no two extra gorillas might change the game a little bit yes, there's more variables.

Speaker 2 17:46

However, the strategy is still the same. You don't get close. That is dumb. You stay as far away as you can until the situation presents itself and guess what? You better do something to get away. You're not staying in with no gorilla. Are you kidding me, bro? They have fangs the light. It will literally pick you up and rip you in half. Absolutely so why on earth. Would you get close?

Speaker 1 18:06

your strategy should never to be to get close to this thing I'm saying with no weapons, so you're just gonna throw shit at, you're in a jungle there are sticks, branches, trees, rocks, fruit.

Speaker 2 18:16

There's a bunch of shit. You never run out of anything that nigga can't swim. What if you get that nigga to go into the water and you drown his ass? He cannot fucking do well in there.

Speaker 1 18:25

That might be like the only option.

Speaker 2 18:26

There are other options.

Speaker 1 18:27

Y'all throwing nuts, berries and sticks at this nigga for a long time, not once.

Speaker 2 18:30

Did I say enough? I'm going to hit your ass with a mango and see what you think.

Speaker 1 18:35

I'm saying though, like if y'all just yeah, it's going to make him mad.

Speaker 2 18:49

It might hurt him a little bit, but ain't no way he's gonna die. He doesn't last forever, bro, are you kidding me? There are marathon runners that could be in that group. Cross-country runner, you think about all?

Speaker 1 18:53

the endurance.

Speaker 2 18:54

You're tripping. You wouldn't last. I know that, no, but like I wouldn't, either a hundred men, think about, think about, think about what what one of them could have been navy seals or like you're not thinking about the men that could be in this 100. If you got a bunch of fat ass officers, they can't chase nobody.

Speaker 1 19:08

Yeah, they're done for I mean, okay, well, yeah, you got some, some, like you know, spec ops niggas in here. Yeah, bro, you only need one of them maybe. I guess I can see it no, I'm just wondering how would that look, though, if y'all just just throwing shit at this gorilla?

Speaker 2 19:22

you think that's the only strategy? That's just the intro. You wear him down. This is round one. Let's see how he responds. Let's see how he responds. You don't know what we have. That's what I'm saying. If you give some like parameters, then maybe it's different. But if you give a hundred people unlimited resources wherever they are, like in the jungle, bro them niggas know how to make fire, like we can have some cooked gorilla, but that shit would be all right. I don't know a gorilla that's fireproof. I don't know a single one, do you? No, I mean no. I don't know what people are capable of. They could make some sort of tranquilizer. You don't know what the strategy is it's crazy.

Speaker 1 19:59

So what do you think the likelihood would be that they actually like bring this scenario to life, like they actually recruit a hundred different people? Never, no.

Speaker 2 20:09

No, they wouldn't Not at all, Because for some reason it's illegal to do that.

Speaker 1 20:13

Well, I mean, yeah, it would never happen?

Speaker 2 20:15

It would never happen. Would it be entertaining? Absolutely, it all depends on where you put them. If you put a hundred men in a like bull thing, like with the matador and all that shit, that would be a whole different situation. They have nothing. It's just them running around like little ants. You just got to keep away. It's like running away from something in a circle, in a confined area. But if you got nothing but space and opportunity and time, you can do a lot okay.

Speaker 1 20:42

So if it was a nigga, gotta go to sleep, wait a minute. So if it's a hundred dudes in a gorilla, in like an arena, like they did back in like you know what do they have? It's still this like still no weapons. The gorilla don't got no weapons except his teeth somebody's gotta be the sacrificial lamb.

Speaker 2 20:57

That's the part that you understand why this nigga's munch munching on three men. The other 60 gotta jump on him and do something, bro he can't you jump on him, you can't let go like 100. It's gotta be people who mentally understand the assignment. Bro, somebody's gonna go out here and get mauled apart and you have to follow up. Jesus, you don't bring any kind of pussy nigga to this at all.

Speaker 1 21:19

That's one person who's scary will ruin the whole plan I mean, yeah, like who's not gonna be scary if they gotta be the one to like, let's say you picked the short straw, you gotta be the one bro somebody's gonna volunteer the kind of shit that people do in life.

Speaker 2 21:35

One, if you skydive, you're one of them. You don't have fear of whatever. Bro, those kinds of people who really don't have fear. You have no idea what they can't see anybody.

Speaker 1 21:44

I can't see anybody willingly being like all right, I'll be it, it's not just you.

Speaker 2 21:48

You're not going to go just one, it's going to be like five of y'all.

Speaker 1 21:51

I mean nah, but I'm saying yeah, five of y'all are going to get opened up like a bag of Doritos, do you?

Speaker 2 21:55

not know history. These niggas were getting shot with cannons. They were going into war to die. To get shot with a cannon is different than getting mauled by a gorilla. They used to get stabbed. They used to joust Like there's all kinds of stuff in warfare that could come back. This is a gorilla. You were fighting against people who were just as capable as you. That's worse. You're fighting against a fucking gorilla. He's strong and agile and that's it.

Speaker 1 22:26

I'm pretty sure there's something like that in gladiator. They was fighting these crazy humanoid monkey drones. I'm gonna have to go back and watch it. I don't know, but this is a. This is a standard gorilla.

Speaker 2 22:34

They're strong, they're agile, they are not that smart and they don't last that long. Their endurance is not like that and it's a hundred. They don't have strategy. That's the whole argument. No strategy, just strength. Then somebody says some shit about them being like what do you say? Impenetrable? Where, where? Wait what who said they were somebody was talking about. The shit was like he has impenetrable skin where they do what would john moran? You can see how hollows feel. You better not give none of them a little gun.

Speaker 1 23:07

I didn't know that. I thought gorillas had regular skin. Yeah, they do.

Speaker 2 23:11

That's what I'm saying it's like a bunch of people arguing about this. I don't really know.

Speaker 1 23:14

Impenetrable.

Speaker 2 23:15

They're animals, bro, they're fucking animals, the fact that we even gave this topic this much. We had to, because you're the one over here like oh well, what if? And no, bro, 100 to 1, just look at numbers alone, not a discussion, that's it now. If it were like uh, 97 chimpanzees and one gorilla, what y'all think?

Speaker 1 23:38

right, they both stupid no, the chimpanzees is definitely gonna like.

Speaker 2 23:42

They're gonna win so you believe in chimpanzees more than humans I'm not saying that I said 97 chimpanzees and one gorilla. You said they're gonna win what? I look at where was that same energy at with 100 men I said I don't disagree, no, no I said it's just gonna be a lot of casualties you ain't say that about the chimps. No, you see. So you ain't say that man.

Speaker 1 24:00

Look, I said y'all will win, but half half of y'all not going to live. To tell the tale, I agreed with you on that.

Speaker 2 24:05

I want to.

Speaker 1 24:05

Not all them chimps is going to live to tell the tale either.

Speaker 2 24:07

I think there would be more chimpanzee casualties than there would be human casualties. Think about 100 men 6'3", 180 to 250. Come on, bro, Are you kidding me? Think about the kinds of football players on, bro, Are you kidding me? Think about the kinds of football players, whatever Athletes. Men are really capable of a lot of crazy shit.

Speaker 1 24:32

Haven't you ever heard stories of chimpanzees who be eating people's faces off and shit? Who are the people?

Speaker 2 24:38

Exactly. You gotta survey who it is. Who's the victim? Why the fuck did you have a chimpanzee at your crib in the first place? You dummy, they're wild animals, what you expect.

Speaker 1 24:47

They are, but I'm saying chimpanzee. Have you ever seen a hairless chimp? You ever seen a picture of him?

Speaker 2 24:51

Yeah, but what does that have to do with a gorilla?

Speaker 1 24:53

I'm just saying, like I'm saying these, these things are strong and muscular.

Speaker 2 25:07

They got can. They can do a lot of things that humans can't. I think that there's a very huge disparity in mental capacity that people are not taking into consideration. Animals don't have it. They don't think like us. That's why they're hunted. Now. This is the problem. It's they are hunted. They were captured and put in a zoo by who? And it probably wasn't a hundred, it probably was like a couple guys that were like shot him once, dragged his ass, let's get him to the zoo before he wakes up. You add 98 more. What are we even discussing?

Speaker 1 25:45

Well, I mean, yeah, that's different though, because they have resources and tranquilizers and all that stuff that animals don't have. But I get it, I understand.

Speaker 2 25:54

If anybody has any kind of argument on this. I'm concerned for your mental health. There is no way in hell you paid attention to anything that humans are capable of or have done to animals much larger.

Speaker 1 26:10

That's, that's I would love to hear somebody's argument, though. Me too.

Speaker 2 26:13

I would love, I would I would sit and listen for about 15 minutes before I go. Okay, what a waste of my time. What a waste of my time. All right, what do we have next? Oh, this one. I'm gonna let you bring this one in well.

Being the Bigger Person

Speaker 1 26:29

So I guess, next up, I've been really thinking about you know when it's a good time to be a bigger person, or sometimes it's better to just let people know where they have you messed up at. Or you know, to put it frankly, you know where they got you fucked up at versus being a bigger person. You know it's a it's a delicate balance, but it's one of those. You know when is the best time for which I don't know. What do you think?

Speaker 2 26:56

Is this all me or me currently?

Speaker 1 26:58

well, all right answer.

Speaker 2 26:59

As old, you and then all me is I'm always gonna I'm king petty, I'm letting everybody know where they got me fucked up so you're never gonna embarrass you, I'm gonna humble you.

Speaker 2 27:07

I'm gonna make sure you know not to bark up this fucking tree. That's old me, evolved me. It's always the time to be the bigger person. Because when you realize how insecure that person is, when you realize how hurt they are, when you realize how they don't have support, like you do, when they don't have the community, you do when they don't have the resources, you do because they choose to. All of it is self-inflicted, but because that's such a damaged good that is a depreciating asset, you don't waste your time on that, so it'll always benefit you in the long run. If you believe in anything about what you reap is what you sow karma. What have you? You put out what you would like to receive in return every time, even when it sucks a lot of that sounds like emotional intelligence too.

Speaker 2 27:58

A lot of people don't have, maybe I don't know what it's called or what it's labeled as in the way that I'm explaining it, but what I'm saying is this version of me now people should be grateful that I have worked on myself enough to mature and realize you are not as important as you think you are and you are not worth a fraction of my time yeah, I, I feel that I definitely try to go about it the same way, like I feel like I'm always the bigger person, but how many times have you walked away from a situation like?

Speaker 2 28:26

nah, I should just let their ass have it well, 99 of the time I walk away like it would have been so much better if I had just smacked them or exposed what I know or posted about you on social media with the stuff that I haven't said anything on or shared my side of the story or whatever. Every situation that I leave recently is like that and that, to me, is the true epitome of growth, because just five years ago I'm frying everybody, everybody, and the crazy part is all of it's going to be true. Some people do it with rumors, which I think is weak, but when you hit people with facts, oh boy, does it change the situation true is it petty?

Speaker 2 29:15

100 does it feel great? Oh, there's nothing better. Even tupac said it revenge is like the sweetest joy. Next again pussy. But you know, they're just not that important.

Speaker 1 29:30

I got all this stuff to focus on I also feel like it is possible to be the bigger person and at the same time, you know, tell people where they had you messed up at. I do believe you can.

Speaker 2 29:42

You can do both yeah, for sure, in due time, though it's not something that you don't think you could do it all at once?

Speaker 2 29:49

no, not when the situation's fresh. It's just like you getting asked a question that's complex in nature and then you use hey, can I give you an answer tomorrow? Sleep on it. You know your answer will be a little bit more refined, it'll be a little bit more polished and you may not go into detail on certain things because they might not apply to the situation that maybe you would think apply to the situation at the time when you're first receiving it. There's always a benefit to just taking your time. Slow your reaction, slow your anger, and then the truth will reveal itself.

Speaker 2 30:30

Do I actually care about that? What is it about this that makes me angry? Is it my character that's being in question? Is it my reputation? Is it something that somebody had twisted? Is it information that's missing? Is it a miscommunication? Whatever, you can dissect it better. It's just like when you watch a movie again, you see things that you didn't see the first time. So you replay the combo you talk about. You know what you could have said, what was said. Whatever the case, you do the post-production breakdown and it's usually some shit that you'll be like doesn't really matter to me. In five years, will this be important to me?

Speaker 1 31:04

if the answer is no, well, not going to give it the time I look at it like I feel like when anybody has to be professional in a corporate, business, professional setting, you have to be able to I don't want to say respectfully, but you have to be able to eloquently voice how somebody has rubbed you the wrong way without getting fired right. So I feel like people probably do find a good balance of being the bigger person and still telling people where they got you fucked up at, like I feel like I've seen you do it in emails well, yeah, but that's factual, not feeling based.

Speaker 2 31:45

If it's factual, then yeah, I would say, do it. What happened? What did this inconvenience? What's the issue? But if you start putting your feelings in there, that's when it gets lost. No one actually gives a fuck about how you feel. I think that's where people get twisted. No one cares that you're sad. No one cares that you're actually frustrated. They want to know what the issue was that caused something else to happen. What are the ramifications, what are the implications of this? If there are none, and if they aren't like pertinent, then well, that shit gets dismissed.

Speaker 2 32:16

Business is why I say most people wouldn't last a day in business, because it has nothing to do with how the fuck you feel. There's a fact, nothing, not even a little bit. It's all numbers. It's a numbers game. That the math. Does the math make sense? Can we support this? Many people, whatever does this person add value, do they not? Are they taking too much time? Because time is money. When you start to dissect it like that, your feelings don't really have too much of a relevance. Do that in your car, go to the therapist, talk to whoever you believe in doesn't matter. Your feelings do not fit in business. So I would say, with this situation, if we're talking personally now, your feelings have a little bit more in a professional setting. Get your feelings about it there, because that shit is not going to work in a personal relationship. That's what it's all about. That's the. That's the difference interesting.

Speaker 2 33:14

No, I feel, I feel that, I feel that that's why they tell people not to go into business with their family members. Yeah, does it work in some cases? Yes, but does that mean they don't argue and have conflict?

Speaker 1 33:25

Fuck, no, no those lines get blurred.

Speaker 2 33:27

All the time. Yeah, that's true. You might have to fire your mama. Are you ready to do that? If not, then don't get in the business with your mama yeah, it's gonna make it awkward at christmas and thanksgiving it's only awkward.

Speaker 2 33:39

If you make it awkward you weren't doing your job. It's just like any other business. I don't give a fuck who you are to me. If you're not doing your job, you're not helping. Well, you gotta go go work for somebody else or just retire, or whatever the case may be. Go go somewhere where you can do half-ass work and be okay and applauded. That ain't happening over here. Do your job, won't have any issues makes sense.

Speaker 1 34:01

That's, it makes sense. Well, you want to get into this next one. What's in?

When People Act Weird After Conflict

Speaker 2 34:06

that. Oh, oh man, this one. I find this one to be interesting. I don't even know how. I want to get into this one for real, but I don't know if you've ever experienced something like this, where somebody does you away and then you find out about it, you bring it to their attention and then the next time you see them, things are just weird. But and it's not you, they just act weird. You, they just act weird. What I mean by that is what used to be is no longer the same, and they may not say anything anymore. They may not do anything, and the reason is they know that they're wrong, but they don't want to take accountability for the wrong that they did. Okay, yeah, I run into people all the time that know better, and they just won't say anything. I smile and say hello, but boy, is the response different. That I find weird activity. What did he call it? The zesty apocalypse? Boy, do I fuck with him for that? I thought.

Speaker 1 35:11

That's not even just like a zesty thing. That's just one of those like I know what you mean when people did you wrong and they know they did, or they know they had you fucked up in a sense, but they don't, they don't want to address it, like you said, and they switch up the whole behavior Like that's. That's, men and women, both do it.

Speaker 2 35:27

Relevant example. I was in a group chat that was created by somebody and I said some things in this group chat that would benefit the folks in this group chat, but the creator of the group chat left the group chat. I would deem that as weird shit started getting too hot I find that to be quite intriguing, don't you think?

Speaker 1 35:47

it is quite, quite intriguing you know, I just find it weird I had an instance where somebody stole from me, right, and I was pretty sure I knew who it was, but I didn't have proof that they did it. So I couldn't just come out and be like, yo, I know you did this, but the way I started treating them I could tell that they knew, that I knew. But shit just started getting weird. Like the whole dynamic was just really really odd. But it's one of those.

The Meaning of Number 15

Speaker 2 36:19

It was like an unspoken kind of thing. I can't wait for myself here to be able to go into extreme detail. Boy, do I want to just go into detail? I'm the type that likes to name drop and talk about everything. Why? Because it's relevant. I want you to know who you may be encountering out here in this world, because some people out here are just scaly, slimy, snaky type agreed.

Speaker 1 36:45

You got to be careful with that, though, on these kind of platforms, because you don't want people getting hate mail and threats. That's not my concern I mean you know?

Speaker 2 36:52

what you did, and you did it to somebody who has a platform, who can communicate and express that I'm saying that like you know that cancel culture.

Speaker 1 37:00

Shit is real. Like you might be putting a target on somebody who the fuck cares about.

Speaker 2 37:04

Cancel culture, that is, having a target on somebody's back and cancel culture are two separate things I mean yeah. I'm saying, though, that either of those could be a possibility if you name drop and give specific sure, if I'm like, yeah, you need to go to this person they live here and shoot them, yeah, that's one thing. But if I'm expressing that this person is moving in a way that I think is weird, I think I should be able to do that on my platform I mean, I'm not saying, you shouldn't if anything, that person should be careful, not me.

Speaker 2 37:35

I'm expressing how I feel about the shit. This is where this is where it's okay to express how you feel. This is your platform, this is what you have chosen to discuss and that is where it it stays I mean, yeah, but you, you can't do that without, like, saying actual names or it would just make you feel better to say say the name.

Speaker 2 37:56

I just want them to know, if they happen to come across this, I speak the same way about you, that I will talk to you in person. That, about me, has been 100 percent consistent throughout my entire life. I don't give a fuck who's listening, I don't give a fuck who's around. What I say to you, I will say about you. What I say about you, I will say to you, it's the same I can appreciate that.

Speaker 2 38:21

There's not many people like that. No, but that's my thing. If I express that and I know you heard it I'm going to ask you what you thought. I want to hear what you got to say for yourself, because you ain't say shit to me. You started acting weird when I came around. That's interesting, indeed. And no, I don't want an apology Because you're not sorry for what you did. You're not. That's another thing.

Speaker 2 38:48

I think apologies are way overrated. It starts young, bro. It starts young. Tell them you're sorry, sorry. Don't force somebody to say they're sorry if they're not actually sorry for the shit. Let them come around and actually apologize on their own. It's way better that way, way better than telling somebody to say sorry, no, I don't want. No, you need to apologize. Why don't? Why on earth would I want that shit? Keep it. I want you to know acknowledge what you did. That's that's the best apology to me. I know what I did was foul. That goes a lot better than I'm sorry for what I did. No, the fuck, you're not. You're not. Just acknowledge that what you did was wrong I agree then I'll look at you different.

Speaker 1 39:33

I definitely agree with that. I feel like that's one of my forms of apologies. I mean, yeah, I will say I apologize, but I will be like, look, I know that this might not have been the best way to handle things, or you know, addressing that phrase, that's how I would want somebody to apologize to me also, so I feel that I concur.

Speaker 2 39:51

I just don't want an apology. I don't give a fuck about that. You didn't apologize. Then you don't want to for real. Don't try and like make shit better, cause it's not just acknowledge that what you did is wrong and then know that you're going to be very distanced from me from here on out.

Speaker 1 40:13

It doesn't mean I can't forgive you that. Just gotta know how to move around or you gotta know how to handle people like that. You gotta meet them where they're at, even if that's from a distance. Does that make sense? I think it does yeah, you just gotta handle them at a certain level, but they can't have the same amount of access to you that you once allowed before.

Speaker 2 40:30

Let me ask ask you this If I tell you I don't want you to communicate with me anymore, what?

Speaker 1 40:39

does that mean Don't communicate with you, don't talk to you?

Speaker 2 40:44

Is there any?

Speaker 1 40:45

way that I could say that clearer.

Speaker 2 40:46

No, I wouldn't say that, because I'm looking for assistance on that, because my issue is with people who don't take no For an answer when it comes to someone's boundaries that they're setting in their life. Don't call me, don't text me, don't follow me on social, don't interact with me at all. I think that's pretty clear. Why on earth would someone do the opposite? Help me understand that, because I can't really understand that.

Speaker 1 41:14

The only way I can see somebody doing the opposite is if this person maybe had like, if maybe you gave them a little bit of something at some point that made them feel like the door was still open for communication Like even though you said don't communicate with me. I don't know. It could have been in a response that you gave, or it could have been, I don't know something small that they probably took and ran with it, that that they think, like you know, they don't mean that.

Speaker 2 41:42

Have you ever heard of the saying I can love you from afar? I think that more people need to adopt that, because just because you love somebody and care for them doesn't mean that you need to be with them or talk to them or hang out with them or nothing. I can care about you from afar. I wish you well. That don't mean I'm finna be involved.

Speaker 2 42:04

Not all people can grasp that concept unless they have people that they deal with like that already. I think it's just a bunch of fucking yes men out here and I don't mean men, just yes people. Why do you feel pressure to do something for somebody? Did they guilt trip you? Are you guilt tripping yourself? That should be fucks me up a little bit, why. Who said you had to do that? You need to talk to your conscience, because what on earth means that you have to? You ain't even got a text back. You don't even have to answer the phone, you don't. And if you're on the phone and you realize you don't want to be, you know what I always say hit that red button that red button is there.

Speaker 2 42:47

It's on your phone. You have control over it. Push that motherfucking button. Then people want to talk about fairness. What the fuck's that got to do with it? I said I don't want to talk to you. I gave you a little bit of a chance. Let me see what they talk about. Answer the phone oh, they're still on bullshit. I'm going to hang up now, boop. And then they text back. That's not fair. Where, where, how does that make sense? Get the fuck off my phone. I've been very clear about that and don't call again, because nothing's changed. You still on bullshit. I just wanted to see if you were still on bullshit, since you are bye. What the hell is fair about? What is fairness got to do with that?

Speaker 1 43:34

I don't know it's gonna be fair sorry, derailed this a little bit what's, what's the next?

Speaker 2 43:40

one. I could go all day, let's see next.

Speaker 1 43:43

Uh oh, let's see assumptions. Rather than talking to the person pussy. Is this like? I guess this would be making assumptions as to how somebody else feels rather than just asking them.

Making Assumptions vs Asking Questions

Speaker 2 43:55

What's going on? One thousand percent. I get texts and calls from people who are like I just don't think she likes me. Well, then I go. How do you know that? Did they say that they don't like you or are you just assuming that they don't like you? Did you talk to them? No? Did you ask them no? Oh well, you're just fucking retarded. That's exactly how it equates to me. You're going to assume, rather than get the actual confirmation. You know how you can do that. Hey, my vibe's been off. I don't know if I'm misreading this. Is there any malice you have towards me? Because it feels like there is. They answer yes or no. Explain why. If they choose to Whatever, Now you know, get it. That could also be false what they're saying to you. However, at least you asked.

Speaker 2 44:47

The folks that don't ask.

Speaker 1 44:48

Y'all are fucking weird I thought you're gonna call them pussy again. Well, that's in the same category. No, I feel that I've definitely had uh, I've had friendships and because, like I was going through some shit and not saying that I handle things the best way, when I go through stuff I tend to isolate and all that. You know something I'm working on. But they take it personal rather than saying you know what's going on, are you all right? I notice you haven't been. You know, you haven't said a whole lot. They take it as oh, you're acting weird, you're acting brand new, you're acting funny, rather than actually thinking like damn, you know, my, my friend is actually going through some shit.

Speaker 2 45:20

Let me just check on her type of which, by the way, shout out to my friends but does that, does that lead us to our next one? Because I feel like I'm I'm pretty much moving through that. It kind of does, it kind of does. So we're gonna let that segue whenever we get there. But as far as making assumptions, which brings me back to one of my favorite books, the four agreements wow, I've talked about this book several times, I've recommended it to people, and here's the part that's funny. The only people who had an issue with that book are the problem. Once they realize what the four agreements are, right, they're like oh yeah, be impeccable with your word. I like that one. Once you get to don't take it personal, they start getting a little shifty. Once you get to don't make assumptions, they start getting a little shifty. Once you get that don't make assumptions, they start getting a little shifty for some reason. The only one that people are really gravitating towards is always do your best.

Speaker 2 46:12

And be impeccable with your oh yeah those two, they're accepted. But when you get to the, don't take shit personal because it's not about you. Everybody's the main character in their own story. That shit ain't really about you.

Speaker 1 46:26

And then don't make assumptions meaning ask the questions that's because those not making assumptions and not taking shit personal are the two most difficult things to do which is why I think they're the two best rules that they have in that book I can see that. See being impeccable with your own word and always doing your best, that's, that's. That's easy shit, because you have control over.

Speaker 2 46:47

I wouldn't say the being impeccable with your word thing is is the easiest. I would say that's like one of the most difficult because it's communication right I mean one of the biggest things in relationships that people have issues with is communication. So I would say, right, the being impeccable part is like intentional intentionality, uh, being a man of your word, talking to them with respect and grace, right, it's hard to do that when you're angry or when you don't like the person right. So I would say that's difficult.

Speaker 1 47:11

I say easier because, like I said, that's something that you can have full control over is the words that you say is what comes out of your mouth Well not always.

Speaker 2 47:18

No no.

Speaker 1 47:19

How so.

Speaker 2 47:19

Because some people just fly off the hinges.

Speaker 1 47:21

That. That's true, but that's their own fault. They're still fully capable of controlling it. Some people choose not to. Yes, but it's still in their control. But, but not making assumptions and not taking it personal. Yes, these are also in your control, but I feel like that it factors in someone else a lot more than you being impeccable with your word and doing your best like no I don't know.

Speaker 2 47:43

I don't really see it that way. I think it takes real honest work to do what is uncomfortable, which is ask the question to the person who you may have conflict with. But the funniest part is that most of the time, the shit that you're thinking is not even close to what's in actuality yeah so then, when it comes to not taking things personal, I think that's the most important and most difficult rule that people don't really think about.

Speaker 2 48:16

No, that's true, lots of people take a lot of things personal that are not in fact personal in any way yeah, I feel like you know, one could say that the rest kind of stems off of that.

Speaker 1 48:28

Like if I'm not taking stuff personal, then I'm probably not going to make assumptions about certain shit.

Are Friends Better Than Family?

Speaker 2 48:33

They're one in the same, yeah, they go right in hand. But here we go, Our friends. I'm asking you are friends better than family?

Speaker 1 48:44

I believe they can be, because I've had some friends that held me down more than my family ever has. I've had friends be there for me in a way and show for me in a way that my family didn't. So I believe they can be. But friends can also be shitty, so it's like I don't know, it depends, but they most definitely can be. They have the capability. What do you think I'd say? 1 yes, you think they're better just off the rip, or you don't think it's?

Speaker 2 49:13

not situation. I think that I spend more time with my friends and my family. My friends know more about me than my family does. I don't have bad friends.

Speaker 2 49:26

I don't keep bad friends and if I call you my friend, that we done been through some things yeah we done, had some real honest conversations, and it's not that we agree because most of my friends and I don't agree on a lot. Those are the ones that I value the most because they're looking at the world through a different lens and they give honest, frank communication and opinion. I don't want somebody who's just going to agree that doesn't help me at all in any way, shape or form and my friends show the fuck up. Oh, that's family. Family expects things from you more than they give. Yeah, yeah, and that's not just my family, that's just in general. I've watched it.

Speaker 2 50:13

The most ridicule you get is from the people who raised you. Most of the time, y'all got mommy and daddy issues. When we talk about family, 90 of what you talk about is gonna be what your relationship is with your mom or your dad or both. Yeah, you ain't even talking about your long lost cousins or all that you're talking about is gonna be what your relationship is with your mom or your dad or both. Yeah, you ain't even talking about your long lost cousins or all that you're talking about mom, dad, brother, sister immediate most of the time, yeah. And then you got some opinionated, assuming, raggedy ass aunts and uncles right, but they all come from the same. You know, whatever your family, though, like the friends that become family, y'all had nothing in common other than how you support one another yeah I got a lot of friends, that boy, I just knew that we was of the same cloth.

Speaker 2 50:58

Yeah, and some of it is from jump street, like right off the bat. You can just go damn the way you carry yourself, the way you communicate, the music you listen to, the food you eat, just like how you take care of your family, how you handle your responsibilities, how you handle stress. Yeah, we might as well have the last name.

Speaker 1 51:17

What's something that you recognize in, like somebody that's a potential friend in your first interaction with them. What's something that you'd be like? You know what I like you. You, I can see we're gonna be cool, like we're gonna be friends for a long time honesty yeah honesty and how they feel, how they think, with no regard to what I think.

Speaker 2 51:36

I love people who express themselves and don't care what I think about it. I'm more likely to gravitate towards someone like that, where they'll listen, and then one they actually listen. That's a very, very good trait. And then they respond.

Speaker 1 51:53

It's not a reaction, it's a response, you know yeah, you have that skill, you have it into it, you think you see them go, hmm, or you see them go like they're just they're processing it they're thinking before they they speak. Yeah, they're like all right, let me see where he's going with this.

Speaker 2 52:09

Let me see where she's going, right, ok, I could, I could see where you're coming from. I don't agree with that, but I get you. Yeah that, that's people who think I'm telling you I get it, I don't agree.

Speaker 1 52:21

People who are OK with agreeing to disagree are some of my favorite people, all of my friends. We don't got to be beefing. It don't mean that we're, you know we're not cool, we're not arguing. You just happen to think that way, I think about it this way, and that's okay. That doesn't make you right, that doesn't make me wrong.

Speaker 2 52:35

Yeah, it doesn't even matter. Like, do we understand each other at the end of this conversation? You know what sells me on people what's that Weird shit?

Speaker 1 52:47

Oh yeah, no, I know, like some weird sped shit, this goes back to episode five, the Tism Chronicles. The Tism.

Speaker 2 52:52

That's how she find her people.

Speaker 1 52:53

Yes, the minute I see somebody got a touch of the Tism or they got a flavor out, I'm like yes, yes, my people oh humor. Yes, oh, people who are funny. I feel like that kind of goes into the tism part.

Speaker 2 53:04

Yeah like the dark humor.

Speaker 1 53:05

For me, yes, dark humor People who are funny, or they say some shit, I'm like yo, that's different. I like that, like they just say real off the wall shit.

Speaker 2 53:14

I ain't never, Boy, you a rare Pokemon. Ain't you you something else?

Speaker 1 53:19

I love shit like that. You spend lots of time by yourself, I could tell. I think that's another quality of my friends. What?

Speaker 2 53:33

friends that are okay with like rolling dolo yeah, that don't always need somebody to hold their hand and go with them and all of that. You got your own shit going on. All of my, my, my, mount rushmore, of friends we speak maybe five to seven times a year. I feel that, boy, is it like the most healthy relationship I ever had? Because not ever is there judgment on the lack of responses or phone calls or nothing, because they understand that life is out here grinding you to fuck up those are the ones that whenever you do talk or reconnect, you pick right back up like you haven't missed a beat, that's it.

Speaker 1 54:04

I can appreciate those I don't know, bro.

Speaker 2 54:08

I think we gave him enough today. I think so enough today. We are very late on this episode and I actually don't give a damn because we're doing our best. That's one of the one of the four agreements always do your best.

Speaker 1 54:19

May or may not have been impeccable with my word today, nor do I give a fuck about that either I mean, I look at it like this it wasn't as long as a of a gap that we were talking about last time.

Speaker 2 54:28

We had took like, oh, damn near yeah, but I think I think chad gets it. Bro and um, thank y'all for subscribing, thank y'all for tuning in, thank you for the one to whatever listeners we have. I haven't looked at our analytics in a while on spotify or apple podcasts or any of the other platforms, but I know butt sprout is definitely the the I don't know the podcasting platform that I prefer, because it definitely saves me some time, it makes things a little bit easy. And just know that the boy am I hungry. Just know that. Hopefully y'all didn't hear that in.

Speaker 2 55:00

Uh your stomach said yo hopefully y'all understand that what's coming is bigger than you can ever imagine. And once we get into the production of things for real, once y'all start seeing them reels come out and them clips come out, it's going to be up and it's going to get stuck.

Speaker 1 55:18

Yes, big shout out to y'all. We just got some bullshit.

Speaker 2 55:20

We just got some bullshit. We're dealing with right now Some litigation for those of you who know what that word means. Um, that's y'all's five dollar word of the day.

Speaker 1 55:41

Some enmity, a lot of disdain, but we are working through all things with grace and the things that don't deserve the Don't get the time. Prioritization Amen to that.

Speaker 2 55:48

On the other news, GTA 6 just dropped the trailer a year early. What the fuck was that about?

Speaker 1 55:54

Well, hold on. There's a lot of back and forth on the release date of GTA 6.

Speaker 2 55:58

Well, they got the release date.

Speaker 1 55:59

now it was supposed to be out this year, I'm pretty sure. But then they did some stupid shit and now it's coming out next year.

Speaker 2 56:05

What I will say is the trailer's fire. Oh yeah, I want to play it, but a year out.

Speaker 1 56:10

What the fuck that's messed up.

Speaker 2 56:12

Come on, Rockstar.

Speaker 1 56:13

That's messed up, that they're playing with people like that. Who does that?

Speaker 2 56:16

That's really not true A year.

Speaker 1 56:17

You just got to try to get your hands on yeah.

Speaker 2 56:27

Because people are hyperbolic like this. It's been so long. When did GTA 5?

Speaker 1 56:30

come out. Gta 5 came out over like 10 years ago. That came out like 2013.

Speaker 2 56:35

Yeah, y'all are. We were talking about us being a day late and a dollar short, yeah, 2013.

Speaker 1 56:40

Yep.

Speaker 2 56:41

That is insane, bro. It is 2025, bro, that's 12 years ago.

Speaker 1 56:45

Yo, I remember the release of this game. People were lined up outside of GameStop and it was dark outside, like they were lined up before it opened to get this game.

Speaker 2 56:52

Bro. I love this game. I cannot wait to see. If y'all haven't seen, it's on Twitter, go look at the GTA 6 trailer. It is phenomenal. I just don't like how early they put that out. I would have rather them put out a tweet saying the trailer is ready to go. We're going to put it out closer to the date that it'll be released, and it'll be released on whatever.

Speaker 1 57:12

I mean, that's how they do, like movies and stuff too, so it makes sense that they did it that way. I will say I'm excited that one of the main characters is the girl. That's pretty neat yeah that's going to be fun. That's be five. That's. That's pretty neat. That's. That's something that I haven't seen. They've never done that before, have they? This would be the first like female main character they have.

Speaker 2 57:30

It's always yeah it's always been a dude you think it's gonna be like three or four characters no, I think it's gonna be.

Speaker 1 57:36

If y'all watch the trailer, it's like me.

Speaker 1 57:38

I think it is gonna be the two and I feel like they should keep it that way, only because we think it's gonna be like some bonnie and claude shit yeah, I feel like, because with gta 5, although you know we all, we all love the story, we love the characters, I like that they had the three different people you could switch between. But that was, that was still a lot going on. So if they, if they did make the element where you can switch characters, I wouldn't want to have to switch between that many. I like that if they would just keep it at, you know, at the two that I saw, and I like the Bonnie and Clyde aspect of it too.

Speaker 2 58:07

We're going to see.

Speaker 1 58:08

Hopefully.

Speaker 2 58:09

I'm at a point in my life where I can sit down and play games. I can't tell you. The last time I sat down and played 2K for real. I really missed that, but at some point I will be on there and I'm actually. This is like a hot take. I'm thinking about streaming it on Twitch on twitch.

Speaker 1 58:22

Yeah, that's the thing. Now everybody else is doing it not but I feel like, if you, if you stream that, I feel like twitch is going to be oversaturated with people streaming I think oversaturation is a bullshit theory.

Speaker 2 58:34

You think so? Yeah, if your content is good, people will find you. There's always people that fit your cup of tea I mean it's a platform just like podcasts.

Speaker 1 58:42

You could argue podcasts are oversaturated okay, but but I'm just saying with that game specifically, think of how many Twitch streamers are going to be streaming GTA 6.

Speaker 2 58:50

Think about how many Twitch streamers are not me. There's a market for your personality. Don't let oversaturation be the reason why you don't do it. You have no idea.

Speaker 1 59:02

Nothing wrong with giving it a try, nothing at all. I am excited to see how these missions look in the height. Like in gta 5, the heist and the missions and all that stuff were crazy and it kept coming out with more downloadable content for the next decade.

Speaker 2 59:14

I'm more excited for the online play, for I ain't gonna hold you, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 59:17

Like the downloadable content, like the, the online play for the whole next decade after gta 5 was crazy, so imagine what this game is gonna be like. Yeah, it's gonna be insane.

Speaker 2 59:28

They're gonna do something where it's like vr with like meta and like all this. I'll bet you, I bet you it's gonna be something wild. It's gonna be. It's gonna be nuts oh my god, it's gonna be absolutely nuts. And hopefully we don't have any, um, hopefully we don't have any school shooters that come out. I was gonna say I don't know any school shooters that come out of Gen Z.

Speaker 1 59:46

I was going to say I don't know. That sounds lit, but that could turn real bad.

Speaker 2 59:50

They're going to be like yeah, I'm going to do what I saw in the game.

Speaker 1 59:52

Especially, we know how impressionable this generation what do they call it? Is, this Gen Z, these Gen Zers.

Speaker 2 59:57

And who's under them.

Speaker 1 59:58

Who's under Gen Z? Hang on, because Gen Z and stuff. Now, ain't they? I don't know? Are we the parents of gen z? No, yes, no, we're like, we're the parents like generation alpha some some shit like oh yeah, hang on, hang on generation titles. I don't know, yeah, like I'm not sure, I'm not sure, I don't. I think gen z is like the ones that are graduating high school, just getting to college right now those are like the early 20s all right, gen z um dang.

Speaker 2 1:00:26

where's the whole chart at? I just saw it, it's gone.

Speaker 1 1:00:28

Generation X? That sounds like it could be 1965 to 1980.

Speaker 2 1:00:33

No, 1981 to 96. Those are the millennials, that's us.

Speaker 1 1:00:36

That's us Gen.

Speaker 2 1:00:37

Z 97 to 2009.

Speaker 1 1:00:39

Okay, so after them is the ones that were Gen Alpha. There you go, alpha. Yeah, so that's who we're the parents of them gen alpha to 2024.

Speaker 2 1:00:48

Actually it's not generation beta beta okay.

Speaker 1 1:00:52

Well, yeah, if you're having a kid from this year, you know to 2039. 2025 to 2039 well, you gotta think about it, though they're not gonna be playing gta6 right away. Generation beta ain't gonna be playing gta6. It's them gen alpha kids that's gonna be playing it, and these are the kids that are, but I mean, to be quite frank, they might be able to like, do so and do so.

Speaker 2 1:01:15

Well, depending on how they were parented. If they were born in 2010, which is when it starts, you know, I mean, they're 15 at this point.

Speaker 1 1:01:20

I was definitely playing san andreas before I was 15 well, yeah, I'm not saying that you know these kids right here, though. I'm just saying these, these, this generation right here, you know, I know you have teacher friends that talk about how bad these kids are, how they don't listen. These kids, they want instant gratification, they don't want to work hard, they're all that addicted to screens and screen time and all that. That's this generation right here, alpha.

Speaker 1 1:01:44

So I'm saying with it. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because us, as the parents, the millennial, there you go, bro, hold the pants. But given that scenario, with this gta 6 coming out, if they do it on some vr sheet, I'm very much concerned. Like you said, I'm not concerned at all.

Speaker 2 1:02:01

Do your job as a parent, nigga, I'm concerned. I'm not concerned at all. That is a problem for the parents of the children. That is it. Your job as a parent is to educate your children. If you're not doing that, well, guess what? They're going to be pieces of shit, and it's going to be your doing. I have no sympathy for that. Do your job. Do your job instead of being taking the easy route. Here's a, here's an ipad. You're fucking, you're whack. You're whack. Go spend time with your kid out at the park at a playground. Do something, play, tag, play all that shit read them a book.

Speaker 1 1:02:39

Do something even if you don't want to go outside.

Speaker 2 1:02:40

Read them a couple books here, bro, I'm gonna get you grand def auto. Say if you actually, because they can't do it. If you go buy it for them and then get upset that they play the game, you're fucking stupid, you know, bought it either either they're gonna buy it for them or these millennials like we are.

Speaker 1 1:02:54

They're gonna have the game for themselves and just let them play it, like the kids gonna watch their parents play. They're gonna hop on, like that's usually how.

Speaker 2 1:03:01

How I see it, though, they just need to set girl, monitor the rules that you set and set the rules.

Speaker 1 1:03:07

Well, you know how our generation of parents are. We're all about. Your feelings are valid. You know I want you to feel like you have a voice too. We try to not be like our parents, and you know we try to not do that.

Speaker 2 1:03:19

No, your feelings are valid. You're still not doing the shit that I just said. Express yourself the shit that I just said. Express yourself. Plead your case. It's not going to work, but at least you got it out there's somebody needs to put their foot down. Never did I say you couldn't speak your mind. I just said you're not about to do the shit.

Speaker 1 1:03:34

Now see, that would make you one of the anomalies of our generation. But a lot of millennials try to be their want to be cool with their kids and not you know, and not too worried about being the parent I just don't want them to hate me you're paying you motherfuckers.

GTA 6 Trailer and Parenting Today

Speaker 2 1:03:53

Your kids are going. It's inevitable they're gonna hate you. Why? Because you're giving them correction. What the fuck are you guys expecting? Y'all are tripping bro. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 1:04:05

that is common sense. To me, no. This is why it's hard to find teachers and stuff like I. I know of a few schools where it's fully substitutes and not like actual teachers, because of how these kids act.

Speaker 2 1:04:18

If you are a teacher and you don't understand that you're gonna have more hard days than easy days, then you're in the wrong profession. The hardest thing to do is to educate somebody.

Speaker 2 1:04:30

That is difficult but to educate disrespectful little the hardest thing to do is to educate somebody, including all the variables. To educate someone. That's difficult, that is a very underpaid profession and mentally you have to be so solid because if not you're gonna lose your mind. So for the folks that lose it and beat these kids in school not saying that it's okay, but I understand you I understand these kids are bullies and they they bully the teachers and the staff and and, at the same time, manage your fucking classroom.

Speaker 1 1:05:08

See, that's one of those things. I thank God for teachers, but I don't know how I would do it. How am I going to manage my classroom when I got students threatening me, threatening to put their hands on me, and I can't do nothing back? How am I supposed to manage that?

Speaker 2 1:05:20

Get out, take your stuff and move yourself out of the classroom.

Speaker 1 1:05:25

I don't care where you go. That's not managing your class, that's just running away giving it.

Speaker 2 1:05:29

How is that not managing your class? What you're doing isn't tolerated in this room. Remove yourself. Come back when you get it right.

Speaker 1 1:05:35

Oh, you mean make them get it.

Speaker 2 1:05:36

Manage your fucking classroom.

Speaker 1 1:05:39

I thought you meant remove yourself, no this is my shit.

Speaker 2 1:05:42

This is how it's run here. If you can't get with the program, go be in another class.

Speaker 1 1:05:47

So what you're going to do?

Speaker 2 1:05:48

your homework and go do that shit at home.

Speaker 1 1:05:50

What you're going to do when the kids say I'm not going nowhere, I'm not leaving. Make me.

Speaker 2 1:05:54

I don't, I can't do it. Yo faculty, come grab the student and get him out of here. I can't do it. You can appoint someone who can do your. This is shit I'm talking about. There are never, there's never a a point where you get in the tree, where there's no solution. There's always a solution. You don't want to leave? I'll have you removed. Just wait. You can stay here until they come and remove you. Now you're gonna look stupid. It's way better if you just remove yourself. I'm about to come touch you. I'll have your mom and daddy come pick you up. How about that? You want that. You want to go to mcdonald's right? You want to. You want to be elsewhere and not in class? They'll come pick you up. I'm not going anywhere. Say that to your parents when they get here.

Speaker 1 1:06:35

I dare you yo, I feel like there's also a lot of parents, though, that stick up for their kid even when they're wrong, like they try to make, of course you can stick up for him.

Speaker 2 1:06:43

He going to be in here. You and your parents need to get out. Like I said, as an instructor, as a teacher, manage your classroom. You ain't here to be nobody's friend. You're here to do your job, educate, and if you're disrupting the education environment, well you got to go. That's your choice and I'm going to help you get out of here. Fucking softies, fucking softies, pussies.
