Where There's a Will There's a Way

In this episode of the Wholesome Menace Podcast, we unpack the difference between survival and convenience, and why self-sufficiency isn’t optional anymore—it’s necessary. From forgotten skills like farming, building, and providing… to the mindset needed to lead yourself and your family when systems fail. This one is uncomfortable but Wholesome Menaces are built for that.

I don't know. It was it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exciting, I guess. I mean, I had I had a little bit of tea, but now that I haven't told you guys, I guess I don't have a pod, but we could maybe save that for Tokyo shit.

SPEAKER_03 1:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:17

Yeah. Yeah, fuck it. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:19

Today, this week I was relatively productive at work. Nice. Like by day job. I went in, I did my job, and I went home. Nice. I felt accomplished. I was like, oh, this is what it feels like.

SPEAKER_04 1:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:33

When you actually dedicate yourself to work. Doing the job you were hired for. Actually feels great. It really does. That's hilarious. Yes. Especially the shit we have to do. I mean, I don't have to do as much as you, but shit. Rita. I don't work. I know. I'm just saying. I do a lot of caretaking for these children. So that's what my week consists of. They did not have school this week, which was nice because there wasn't. I mean, it was still a bunch of running around, but not like I gotta get everybody to school. I gotta get everybody home from school. And so it was it was nice. They were chilling. We were chilling. It was just more so like me in the kitchen all day, every day. Yeah, my work week was pretty um nice. Um, I did, you know, starting trying to date. I'm gonna just keep hopefully. I was gonna say for Tokyo She, but fucking, I'm gonna tell you now because I was talking to this one dude, and then I just basically told him he wasn't really my vibe. And he's like, What? Tell me, tell me what like what is it that you don't like? Because he sent me like a couple pictures. I was like, eh, you know, all right. And yeah, he was like, he was like, I didn't show you anything, or it wasn't anything inappropriate, was it?

SPEAKER_03 2:54

He was just like good.

SPEAKER_05 2:56

It wasn't my jam. I'm trying to be he was homeless, he was a little homeless. Wasn't even that just loud and shit, just wasn't for me. Right. So I basically told him, like, you know, what made me tell him is because he's like, Oh, you're weird, you're weird. He kept calling me weird because I was like, Look, like, I'm just good. I just want to end it here with, you know, like a voice talk. You got enough hair on your face to be calling me weird. Yeah, definitely did it. But I I basically told him, I'm like, yeah, the first picture, blah blah blah. And he was like, Oh, well, now looking at your pictures, you actually look like a transgender. Stop it, buddy. I was like, okay, you're tight, but if that's how you feel, then that means are you gay?

SPEAKER_03 3:41

100%. You like me because you ratchet me.

SPEAKER_05 3:46

And okay, you also asked me what the issue is. So I'm so I was honest with you. Now I'm a transgender.

SPEAKER_03 3:55

Crazy.

SPEAKER_05 3:56

Nothing against the transgenders, but that's outrageous.

SPEAKER_03 4:00

You just cannot be real with people.

SPEAKER_05 4:02

Some bad bitches, so I don't know. Thanks.

SPEAKER_03 4:04

Some of them you can't even tell.

SPEAKER_05 4:06

You really cannot. Maybe that's what he was getting at. I don't know. My voice probably deeper than a lot. Try to be honest with somebody and got called the transit. Yeah. That's what happens. Stefan's like, oh my god, guys, are you bullet dodge? Fuck them. Yeah. And I'm like, it's because I'm a real ass nigga. That's what happens. Yeah, not everybody likes that.

SPEAKER_03 4:31

No. He's a hater. Yeah. And he actually really likes you because you're gorgeous. Oh, just didn't know how to handle it.

SPEAKER_05 4:37

We're all up. The rejection.

SPEAKER_06 4:39

Yeah. He had to he had to soothe that rejection by deflecting. And I wasn't about it. I know you were, it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

Rejection isn't bad, guys. That's just key to go on to the next one.

SPEAKER_05 4:50

Yeah. Somebody's gonna feel it. Just wasn't me.

unknown 4:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 4:53

Them fucking terminator glasses.

SPEAKER_03 4:56

That's funny. Goodness. Loser. Hey, not nice. That being said, ladies, let's get into some attitude and gratitude.

SPEAKER_00 5:12

Fake shisty hole.

SPEAKER_05 5:18

That guy was a real shisty how.

SPEAKER_03 5:20

Ladies, I have a question for you. What's your favorite saying or mantra that you'll end up by?

SPEAKER_05 5:29

It is what it is. Where do I say that? Find over matter.

SPEAKER_03 5:38

I don't even know. I like it, it is what it is. It's a good one.

SPEAKER_06 5:41

What's yours?

SPEAKER_03 5:42

Um, I have one that I tell people a lot. I say shine brighter.

SPEAKER_06 5:45

Yeah, you do say that a lot.

SPEAKER_03 5:47

I tell everybody I meet that.

SPEAKER_06 5:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:49

And I was asking myself why I say that, and I think it came from when I was a kid, uh, I was really into what I like just church and going to the different Bible studies and things like that. Anyway, Matthew chapter 5, 15 says, Let your light shine in such a way that people may see your good works and glorify your father who's in heaven. And for some reason, I took those shines and I put it together, and I've been telling people that for years now. But it's really because I see like a genuine spark, I see uniqueness, right? Yeah. And I tell them, hey, continue being who you are. That's what I mean by that when I say shine bright, right? Because I'm trying to shine bright myself. And I start start thinking about sayings that I say to myself, and I thought maybe the girls have things that they tell people or that they live by, yeah, that edifies or encourages the people in their lives.

SPEAKER_06 6:47

So that's kind of why I wanted to ask that kind of question. Goodness. Does it have to be long?

SPEAKER_03 6:52

She said it is what it is, it's a good one.

SPEAKER_06 6:54

Yeah. A lot of people are that's like I also tell people you allow people and things to affect you.

SPEAKER_05 7:00

Like someone said, Oh, that person made me mad. Did they make you mad, or are you letting them make you mad?

SPEAKER_03 7:06

That's a bar.

SPEAKER_05 7:08

Yeah. Things like that.

SPEAKER_06 7:09

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I always tell like my kids, like, stop apologizing.

SPEAKER_05 7:17

You know, like, I don't need you to apologize. I need you to do better. Or even if you you just like made a mistake or something, you don't everything doesn't need to be apologized for.

SPEAKER_04 7:30

Yeah, interesting.

SPEAKER_05 7:31

So um, I don't want them to be like people pleasers or feel like they have to apologize for every little way they live their life.

SPEAKER_03 7:42

Like that's good.

SPEAKER_05 7:43

Um, so a lot of times that is what I say. Um, but yeah, like it's crazy. I'm like literally drawing a blank, and I say so many things. Yeah, I'm so wise.

SPEAKER_03 7:58

I think that we're living right now in a hundred years, somebody might say shine brighter, and then underneath it would be Stefan. Yeah, you know, or what did you just say? Stop allowing people. Yeah, how did you put it?

SPEAKER_05 8:15

Like, I don't know, I forgot. But you know, I have been saying a lot. Um, a negative mind will never make for a positive light. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_03 8:26

Yeah, absolutely. I've been saying that a lot, and that's something that you live by. Yeah. Like you practice that shit.

SPEAKER_06 8:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:33

Not that it's easy because Yeah, I believe in it. Facts. I believe in shine brighter. I genuinely tell everybody I know I'm gonna trademark that shit.

SPEAKER_06 8:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:44

Because that's important. All of us are unique.

SPEAKER_06 8:46

Right.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

I believe all of us have a purpose. Unless there are some useless folk out there.

SPEAKER_06 8:52

I get to meet them, though.

SPEAKER_03 8:57

Something to think about, even in your own lives. Those of you guys who are listening or watching the pod, what do you say? What's your saying? What are you living by, right? And how are you giving that to the people in your life? How are you communicating that? Are you communicating that?

SPEAKER_06 9:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

One conversation. I might tell somebody shine brighter and they smile. Yeah. I'm not saying one, but two words to you.

SPEAKER_06 9:22

Right.

SPEAKER_03 9:22

But you understand what I'm trying to tell you. Right? And they receive it like that.

SPEAKER_06 9:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:27

That's just what I wanted to share with attitude and gratitude. And I'm glad that you're drawing a blank. Gradually, you recovered quickly, but a lot of people are probably drawing blanks in their own lives. Yeah. About things that they know it live by or that they say, and they can't articulate it at the moment. So put your thinking cap on and uh go be an encouragement to other people.

SPEAKER_05 9:48

Yes. Yes. Definitely share that positivity.

SPEAKER_03 9:51

100%. 100%. And that's all I have for attitude and gratitude.

SPEAKER_05 9:55

I like that.

SPEAKER_03 9:56

You think about your sayings, your mantras.

SPEAKER_05 9:59

Yeah, that's I like that. I like how you be. Yeah, you're always surprising me.

SPEAKER_03 10:04

I just want to sprinkle positivity over the world.

SPEAKER_05 10:07

I don't like to do that. I feel like I hope that's what we're doing with our pod.

SPEAKER_03 10:11

Big time.

SPEAKER_05 10:12

Yeah, that's yeah. So now should we go on to?

SPEAKER_03 10:24

I've been watching back episodes and seeing how awful I do. Oh man.

SPEAKER_05 10:28

I've done bad in a couple episodes.

SPEAKER_03 10:31

Mine's have been really bad. Yeah, yours has.

SPEAKER_05 10:34

It's like shameful. Almost, if I'm being honest. Tell us how you really feel.

SPEAKER_03 10:39

I gotta live this life. Mediocrity. Shame. Right.

SPEAKER_05 10:49

I'll let you guys pick. Do you want a tune or a quote first?

SPEAKER_05 14:23

That is down and down. One more one more plan. I know you don't know it.

SPEAKER_03 15:06

I have seen Telegraph. I've seen it, but I would have never got it. Yeah. I wouldn't have caught that either. That was Telediganoite. There are so many other ones in that movie that I probably would have caught. Yeah, I just wouldn't.

SPEAKER_05 15:20

And I just couldn't. I didn't see it enough times. Shout out to me.

SPEAKER_03 15:26

Solid one. I'll take my little one piece. Yeah. No dun.

SPEAKER_05 15:32

SPEAKER_03 15:53

Yeah, for sure. I've been listening to a lot of like 90s music lately.

SPEAKER_05 15:58

He's really out here studying.

SPEAKER_03 16:00

Trying. Just to have it in my head. Yeah. Shoving it.

SPEAKER_05 16:04

SPEAKER_04 16:14

Taking a little bit of that.

SPEAKER_05 16:34

You know, she is sick. Delusional.

SPEAKER_03 16:38

For sure that I shall not.

SPEAKER_05 16:43

Welcome to the delusion Olympics.

SPEAKER_06 16:47

Are you guys ready?

SPEAKER_05 16:48

All right. These are statements more so. Okay. Love doesn't require self-abandonment. Love doesn't require self-abandonment.

SPEAKER_03 17:06

Yeah. In my own life I realized that I was losing myself. Yeah, me too. For the sake of a relationship.

SPEAKER_06 17:16

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:17

I did lose myself. Yeah. For the sake of as soon as I snapped out of it though.

SPEAKER_06 17:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:24

That relationship was over.

SPEAKER_06 17:26

Yeah. Yep. So I've done it twice.

SPEAKER_05 17:30

You wake the fuck up.

SPEAKER_06 17:32

Yeah. Yeah. Alright, so the next one. They didn't change. You lowered your standards.

SPEAKER_03 17:47

You're delusional.

SPEAKER_06 17:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:51

Yeah, because that's all too like the reality that most people experience is that they just accept right.

SPEAKER_06 18:01

Just to stay in. But is I I don't even want to say like stay in a comfortable place because how comfortable could that be if you're just kind of like tolerating.

SPEAKER_03 18:14

But trauma is like inviting almost. It's dare I say safe.

SPEAKER_06 18:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:22

What you're used to. Right. You know what I mean? It's really sad that way. That's why I'm saying it's delusional because you might not even realize that you're accepting that type of situation. That's intense.

SPEAKER_06 18:35

Awful.

SPEAKER_05 18:36

Yeah. You can't build a future with someone stuck in survival mode.

SPEAKER_00 18:43

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_03 18:48

You can't build a future with someone stuck in survival mode.

SPEAKER_05 18:53

And there's so many different ways to be stuck in survival mode, whether it be financially, whether it be mentally, emotionally, you know? Like if you're not growing in any kind of way, how do we build on that? And if you're treating everyone like your previous situation, how what are you getting from that? What are you gaining from that?

SPEAKER_03 19:19

Yeah. We talked about that with loyalty, going through difficult situations.

SPEAKER_06 19:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:33

Survival mode might be a season, right? But to your point, something has to be happening.

SPEAKER_05 19:40

Right. Are you just gonna stay in that? How long is that gonna last? I can't. I don't think I can stick around for that. I'm not.

SPEAKER_03 19:49

I think the right person. Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_06 19:52

Yeah. But if you're holding us back from moving forward in life, sometimes elevation requires separation.

SPEAKER_03 20:04

I agree. Some things I like to help.

SPEAKER_06 20:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:09

I understand that.

SPEAKER_06 20:10

No, that's okay.

SPEAKER_03 20:11

Yeah, 100%.

SPEAKER_06 20:15

Well, delusions are lifestyle choices. That's all I have for the delusion olympics.

SPEAKER_03 20:22

Good one. Yeah, very good. I like those statements. I do feel bad for you. And not in a pity way if you're going through things like that. More so because I'm looking for you to have that self-awareness.

SPEAKER_06 20:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:37

You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 20:38

Yeah, move out of that space. For sure. That was good.

SPEAKER_05 20:44

Thank you. Really, really good. Like everyone isn't the same, people.

SPEAKER_03 20:50

Yeah. Ladies, um, for our main topic today, I just want to talk not really about what's going on in the world, but I just want to acknowledge the fact that our world is hurting. Yeah. Bad. Um we've got wars going on, gas is four dollars and twenty cents, milk is expensive.

SPEAKER_06 21:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:13

A three-bedroom apartment is twenty six hundred dollars. That type of vibe, bro.

SPEAKER_06 21:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:18

You know, and the the thought that I had earlier this week was that the world is hurting. The problem is it's hard to focus on like the straight of four moves right now.

SPEAKER_04 21:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:31

When social services is packed out the door. Food stamp line is out the wazoo. It's hard to focus on what's going on, and it's tragic. It's really sad, right? And the media will say that that's super important. We gotta focus on that right now. That's tragic. The street is closed. My nigga, niggas can't eat. Red's not being paid. Yeah, the carnal is late again. This is shit happening day to day.

SPEAKER_06 22:02

Right. People are getting laid off.

SPEAKER_03 22:04

People are getting evicted.

SPEAKER_06 22:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:07

Cars are getting repossessed.

SPEAKER_06 22:09

Yeah. I've had all of it happen.

SPEAKER_03 22:11

So it while they're saying that a relatively small channel in the Middle East is controlling everything that's happening in our world right now, I can understand maybe geopolitically how that's important. What I've gathered is that self-sufficient self-sufficiency is like super important right now.

SPEAKER_06 22:33

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 22:34

And you have to decide to take care of yourself and do the actions to take care of yourself. Problem is we've been raised for convenience and not um we know precious little about manual labor. We know precious little about farming and agriculture and gardening, craftsmanship, right? But those things are life skills that have been rebranded into hobbies, right? So the question I have for the main topic, and I hope it at least opens some eyes to our listeners, is if everything stopped tomorrow, would you actually survive?

SPEAKER_05 23:25

I don't know, but I know I'm not sure. I don't know for how long. Yeah, for sure we'll try. I'm not just gonna let this shit do me in.

SPEAKER_06 23:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 23:33

I'm gathering my folks and I'm getting the fuck, and we're gonna learn. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:40

That's tell me about it.

SPEAKER_05 23:43

That's why I do all the things I do. That's why I spend so much time in the woods. That's why I learned how to garden. That's why I learned how to shoot bow and arrow. That's why I don't just do this shit for no reason. Granted, the being out in the wilderness is just a piece that I found that I need. Yeah. But also learning all the sustainability that comes with knowing the plants out there, the mushrooms, how to hunt, how to navigate through the woods.

SPEAKER_03 24:13

Where the mosses, like all of that.

SPEAKER_05 24:16

That is important. We can live off the land, actually. That is why the earth is what it is. That is how we live in the beginning of time. We didn't have fucking grocery stores. And we talked about this too. We didn't have grocery stores, we didn't have the actual people who were doing it. Yeah. You know, everyone was hunting and gathering for their families and their communities.

SPEAKER_03 24:42

You had to.

SPEAKER_05 24:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:43

No choice.

SPEAKER_05 24:44

Right.

SPEAKER_03 24:45

Uh, the other thing that I thought about is we are very capable, we're just very comfortable. Absolutely. America is filled with comfort. And every human on the planet who has limbs, working limbs, can still go out and hunt a deer or fish or garden. We just have to substitute that to go to Hanford instead.

SPEAKER_06 25:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:07

In the light of what's happening in the world right now. And a lot of people say there's nothing I can do about it. It's all the way over there. Yeah, but you can mitigate your losses here. Yeah. And I think we should, as a culture. I think that's not that I'm telling you to boycott Hannaford. I love going there. And I'm telling you to boycott Market 32. Go to your grocery store, but learn to be less dependent on those things and finding creative solutions to the problems that you actually have.

SPEAKER_05 25:39

If people are in the bubble, they don't think it's gonna happen. Like you said, it's happened over there. That shit can for sure come over here. It did. We can get blasted at any point in time, God forbid. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:51

But like I was saying, they did. They're saying gas is as expensive as it is because this little channel in the Middle East is closed or west closed.

SPEAKER_06 26:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 26:02

What? Okay, so if some shit really popped off, what would happen? Gas would be eight dollars a gallon. Is that what you're saying? Okay, so boom. How do we navigate that as individual people? Not saying go get a horse to walk. But find ways to be self-sufficient. Maybe we might have to go get a chicken coop. Maybe we might have to farm rabbits. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 26:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 26:32

What do what's best for you, but understand rabbits.

SPEAKER_05 26:35

Rabbit pie. Rabbit pie.

SPEAKER_03 26:39

That curry rabbit might be hitting serious.

SPEAKER_05 26:43

How are we gonna get the curry?

SPEAKER_03 26:45

Right.

SPEAKER_05 26:47

But we gotta go stock on that.

SPEAKER_03 26:50

It's funny. I was at Market 32 probably like three, four days ago, and I think there was a uh power outage. And I walked in, no music was playing. It was dark in there.

SPEAKER_05 27:00

Weird.

SPEAKER_03 27:00

It was dark. I literally think to myself, damn, did this shit happen for all? Oh my goodness. It was quiet in there. Like there are human beings in the building. It was the rats could have been more vocal than humans were in that building. Sound like a cemetery in there in the grocery store. I'm like, damn, this is what shit could really look like.

SPEAKER_05 27:25

Yeah, yeah. We um walked into Target and the lights went out. Like the little emergency lights kicked on and whatever, but um, and they came back on within a couple minutes, but it was just like pitch black in there for a few seconds, and it was just weird. Yeah, it was fine, but I was like, what the heck? It was winter time too, so like like literally snowing and like heavy outside, so it wasn't like surprising, but interesting. I was like, should we leave?

SPEAKER_03 28:00

What I think about not to make it trivial, but in the movie Harry Potter, Order of the Phoenix, spoiler, she's uh sorry, Harry's in the woods with Luna, and he's trying to express vaguely how he's feeling. Yeah, and Luna tells him that Voldemort wants you to feel alone. Because if you're alone, you're not really a threat.

SPEAKER_06 28:27

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03 28:29

If I can translate to this topic today, community is really important.

SPEAKER_06 28:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 28:35

Like-minded individuals is really important. You're gonna survive if you're in community. If you think you're gonna solo it, you're not Denzel Washington. This is not the Book of Eli, bro.

SPEAKER_04 28:48

Right.

SPEAKER_03 28:49

You're gonna get picked off. But if you're in community, and I bring this up because I've I I stopped at Mario Farm for the Love of Bacon today as well, and I bought a pack of bacon in there.

SPEAKER_06 29:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 29:01

I'm like, okay, this came from the farm I'm 10 miles away.

SPEAKER_06 29:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 29:06

I know the farmer who raised this thing. And if I need food, I don't have to go to the grocery store. I can't.

SPEAKER_06 29:14

You can go to the farm, right?

SPEAKER_03 29:16

You know what I mean? Yeah. And that's the community providing for itself.

SPEAKER_05 29:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 29:20

So everybody brings something different. I'm a nurse, she knows how to hike, she knows how to plant things, you know, like I can cook. You can for sure cook. And you're a man, you're strong.

SPEAKER_03 29:34

Yeah. I pick things up and put them down.

SPEAKER_05 29:39

You better do. Yeah. Like I'm sure there's if we really sit here and comb through shit, you know how to do something.

SPEAKER_03 29:46

I can put a light bulb up.

SPEAKER_05 29:49

What if we don't have electricity? Right. Smoking I nigga. What else you got?

SPEAKER_03 29:57

Sorry, we trust you. We trust you. Right. Um, but to your point, learning. Yeah, these are not hobbies that are optional. You should know how to cast a fish. Put a yes. You should know that as a grown man. You should know, maybe not be a proficient hunter, right? But understand what the woods look like.

SPEAKER_06 30:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:20

You know, maybe you should pick up growing potatoes. Apparently, it's super easy to do. I will experiment on that and I'll come back with you guys what that looks like. Maybe, Crystal, you can help me plant some potatoes and sellers out. And start to build those skills so that you know that you can take care of yourself. Right. Even if it's just potatoes.

SPEAKER_06 30:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:42

You feel me?

SPEAKER_05 30:42

So yeah, because we've had she's grown strawberries, um, a few different kinds of peppers, uh jalapenos, tomatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, like uh squash. I think.

SPEAKER_06 30:57

Yeah, like just all kinds of stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:01

Yeah. It's funny that I said the world is hurting, and ironically, the solution that I'm finding for it is to go back to nature.

SPEAKER_06 31:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:12

Not to excuse the wanton death that's happened in the Middle East. I feel so sad for the parents who lost children.

SPEAKER_06 31:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:21

For the moms who've lost babies. Of course. That's devastating for me. You in your own life though, find the ways to be self-sufficient in this world. Because you you don't have control over the street of forms, but you do control what you do with your own.

SPEAKER_06 31:40

What you do with yourself, yeah. Correct.

SPEAKER_03 31:42

So that was just me acknowledging what we have going on. We don't gotta get into the politics of it all. The blame game, because there's a lot of that happening. Um, I think you're focusing the energy on what you can do is right.

SPEAKER_06 31:58

Yes, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 32:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:00

Learn, pick up a new skill, learn something new, read a book.

SPEAKER_03 32:04

Yes. The confidence that you gain from doing that, though. Yeah. Nobody really is. Unmatched. Yeah. You can grow a tomato. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 32:15

Do you know? I'm the shit. Talk to me about that. I can grow food.

SPEAKER_03 32:20

These thumbs are green. When you when you saw the little things sprout, they were like my little babies.

SPEAKER_05 32:28

Yes. And was I not out there every day? Every morning.

SPEAKER_06 32:31

Every day, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 32:33

Every day in the middle of the day.

SPEAKER_06 32:34

In the middle of the day, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 32:36

Oh, don't water them too early in the morning because the sun all, you know, crystalline because it'll like dry it out, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:44

Interesting.

SPEAKER_05 32:46

I ain't no word, Ninja, but you know, drums up. Yeah. And you know, just in the dirt and using my hands, and then watching. Even like as the weeks go by and you see these things grow. Like even when I was watching her strawberries grow, like you see, they turn into flowers first, then the strawberries start coming. It's just like so amazing. And yeah, the flowers are out, like you know, um bloomed in the morning because the bees are palming. You just see all the things.

SPEAKER_03 33:17

Yes, for sure.

SPEAKER_05 33:18

Gardening's beautiful. Learn how to do it, guys.

SPEAKER_03 33:20

Love that because it's dope. Yeah. That's all I have for the main topic today.

SPEAKER_05 33:24

That was awesome.

SPEAKER_03 33:25

I thought it was important to unpack that.

SPEAKER_05 33:27

Yeah, I like that. Yeah.

unknown 33:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:29

Especially because we've we've been talking about that a lot lately, anyway. So and social media is littered with the negative.

SPEAKER_06 33:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:39

There's very little of what can I do?

SPEAKER_06 33:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:43

What should I do?

SPEAKER_06 33:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:45

Nobody's talking about it. They're laying a lot of ground.

SPEAKER_06 33:47

Right. You're gonna make people panicky. Come on.

SPEAKER_03 33:50

Give them solutions. Yes, give us confidence. Yeah, give us some confidence. I need confidence all day. Yeah. Give me the skills so I can work with my hands.

SPEAKER_05 34:01

They want people stuck. It's gonna be survival of the fittest. If some shit does happen, and that's just the cold, hard truth. The fittest than the richest. Right. Yeah. Well, I'd rather be the fittest than the fish. Me too, for sure. And your ass still become when shit hits the fan because you ain't got no real skills.

SPEAKER_03 34:22

Right. And here's what I've learned. When that eventuality comes to pass, the people who have the skills are the rich ones. The people who have that knowledge are the ones who everyone's flocking to. Crystal. You tell me how to what fertilizer.

SPEAKER_05 34:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:42

I can't find no fertilizer.

SPEAKER_05 34:44

Mm-hmm. Flocking to seeds, all that. Yeah. So. Yeah. Get self-sufficient, motherfuckers.

SPEAKER_03 34:52

Try it. I'm I can guarantee you can allow it.

SPEAKER_05 34:55

You can go get seeds for sure from like Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot. Go get that.

SPEAKER_03 34:59

And I'm not telling you to go start homesteading right now.

unknown 35:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:02

Simple you can do. Just try something. Try something and see if you can do it. Go take a walk at Thatcher Park.

SPEAKER_04 35:09

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 35:10

Get to know the lay of the land at Plotter Kill. So that you're confident when you have to go to the Catskills. When you gotta be on the road, at least you're confident.

SPEAKER_06 35:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:22

You know your body can do X, Y, Z. Yeah. So, and that's a simple thing. I want to tell you a little bit about them today.

SPEAKER_05 35:28

It's tough. It's tough. Yeah. Walking through them woods, okay? Don't let him tell you it's simple. Ain't no bullshit out there.

SPEAKER_03 35:37

Make sure you got some good shoes on. You will find yourself for sure. And you'll find that you're strong.

SPEAKER_06 35:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:42

And you're capable of it. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_05 35:44

Because it's comfortable. I was like, I'm not gonna make it back to the car. I said the safety train. It wasn't even a hard shit. Didn't carry me? Did we call someone? It was flat like that. Hilarious. Heart beating on my chest. That is funny. It was beautiful, though. I love being out there. Yeah. It just is a lot. For me. For me. For me. Imagine if we brought her the casket, she would never talk to us. Yeah, but sure. Yeah, I would. I wouldn't. You think I don't answer your calls now?

SPEAKER_03 36:19

I would respect that.

SPEAKER_05 36:20

I would too. Okay. I couldn't even be mad at you. The first time she took me to the show. Are you okay? I can't ask anybody. I mean, shit, nigga, it don't matter now. We eat it. Oh heavens. Like halfway in in the trail, and that's like three and a half miles that we're going around, buddy. Crazy. And it's snowing. Oh no. Let's do it again. All right. Style. Thanks. That wasn't even my phone. That was another phone. Okay. Anyway. You guys ready? I'm ready. Hot seats.

SPEAKER_06 37:10

Where we tell all our business.

SPEAKER_05 37:12

I love telling business. I like it.

SPEAKER_06 37:16

Yeah, I guess it depends on what it is.

SPEAKER_05 37:21

All right. Let's pick a name. Lady Reesa. Not the clapping. We have a winner. Congratulations.

SPEAKER_06 37:41

Thank you. I should have came into this more enthusiastic.

SPEAKER_05 37:48

It's Risa again.

SPEAKER_03 39:37

It's the Reese trail.

SPEAKER_05 39:40

Yeah. Welcome. FYI. I'm trying to record this wheel. I think I'm doing it. So you guys can see when the name's getting picked.

unknown 39:50

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 39:53

So we don't think she cheating? Right. Because it'd probably land out on her.

SPEAKER_03 39:57

Is it because she's cheated before?

SPEAKER_05 39:59

Maybe. No. I don't need to cheat. I don't give a shit. Chatter. Enough to cheat. Sounds good. If there were no consequences, would you try at least one time? No consequences? None. Probably like. Well, if there's no consequences, then I guess it wouldn't be like stealing money. I'd just be going to get some money out of the bank. Immediately. Immediately. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 40:34

Expeditiously.

SPEAKER_04 40:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 40:37

To fund my lifestyle. I've come to collect dreams.

SPEAKER_05 40:40

Nice.

SPEAKER_06 40:41

Pay pay off school. Finish that. Get us a nice compound where everyone can live about a mile or so away from each other. And that's all I need. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:58

G-Wagon.

SPEAKER_05 41:00

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I need. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 41:03

I'm never gonna forget.

SPEAKER_05 41:04

No.

SPEAKER_03 41:05

I need that outside.

SPEAKER_05 41:06

That's mine.

SPEAKER_03 41:06

I need that outside.

SPEAKER_05 41:07

It's coming. Yes. I'm gonna getcha.

SPEAKER_03 41:10

Sports utility vehicle. I'm in the woods with that thing.

SPEAKER_05 41:16

The G-Wagon?

SPEAKER_03 41:17

Yes. The little thing up and down.

SPEAKER_05 41:19

The hydraulics? Yeah. I don't know. You ain't bringing mine. I won't drive nothing but a G. I like a G Wagon, but that would be a pavement princess car for me.

SPEAKER_06 41:31

I'm driving it for sure, but I won't be in the woods.

SPEAKER_05 41:36

That's my answer. Huh? Yeah. That was cool. You say, huh? I'm saying I'm changing this segment, guys, until I come up with some questions. My brain's been spicy. Who's next?

SPEAKER_06 41:55

Not me. If I get painted again, I know it's right.

SPEAKER_05 42:35

Worst thing you said to someone during an argument. Um I mean, I told a couple people I hope they died in arguments. Like aggressive. Like die. I fucking meant it. Like you could die tomorrow. I wouldn't give a shit. In the moment I felt like that. Probably felt like that a couple days after two, but let me think. Is there's just gotta be that's pretty gnarly.

SPEAKER_03 43:20

Yeah, for sure. Wicked. I mean, if it could have happened.

SPEAKER_05 43:26

Yeah. She used to tell me that. Stop saying that shit. Well, Zoe's data said it to him a lot. And then I did stop saying it because I as angry as I was with him, I wouldn't want that to happen to him, especially now because we're cool. And obviously, first and foremost, because of Zoe. Yeah, absolutely. But I said it to his mom. She deserved it.

SPEAKER_03 44:04

If I was a mom, did I'm not a mom, but that probably was should have been to me. I think that was the desired effect though.

SPEAKER_05 44:14

I left it on her answer machine. Yeah, that's what I did. You guys can pick what you want. You don't know my situation.

SPEAKER_06 44:27

That's pretty hot. I don't talk to people like that.

SPEAKER_05 44:33

I do.

SPEAKER_03 44:36

That was hot.

SPEAKER_05 44:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 44:38

But I'm not judging you. You never said it to me, so.

SPEAKER_05 44:42

I would never say it. I wouldn't say it. Don't give me a reason, nigga. Yeah, I'm terrible when I want to be. And I don't want to be. But when I have to be. I guess I don't need to be that terrible.

SPEAKER_06 44:58

You don't.

SPEAKER_05 45:04

One more. That was my shit. One more. One more? Well, that was that three. Oh, that was three. I think we can edit on that though. Please, let's move on.

SPEAKER_04 45:15

Would you rather going?

SPEAKER_05 45:24

Y'all ready, right? We ready. Here we go. Alright. Would you rather loosely because of your kids or because of a relationship? Uh, because of my fucking kids.

SPEAKER_03 45:41

Yeah, me too. I'm gonna say for the relationship. There are plenty of times where my partner wanted to go to sleep instead of hash out the situation that we were dealing with.

SPEAKER_06 45:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:55

And I'll be awake all night. Going to sleep with that on my chest is not something I have to do.

SPEAKER_06 46:02

Uncomfortable for sure.

SPEAKER_03 46:03

I want to talk to you and I want to resolve it, fuck, and then go to sleep.

SPEAKER_06 46:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:08

In that order. Um, and so, and because my relationship's critically important to me, I would have fuck sleep. Let's talk to it through. I don't want to sleep.

SPEAKER_06 46:21

Yeah, that's yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:24

I want to be okay with one with feeling some discomfort. So if not.

SPEAKER_05 46:31

So well, that's why I would rather lose sleep because of my kids, because we should be able to fucking talk about a hatchet out, fuck around, whatever, and go to sleep. We shouldn't be, it shouldn't be linked.

SPEAKER_06 46:40

It shouldn't be carrying on, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 46:43

You know, kids, that's expected. You're gonna lose sleep because of them.

SPEAKER_06 46:48

Yeah. I don't want to be going through any of that shit in a relationship with the kids.

SPEAKER_03 46:54

Go to sleep. Go to sleep.

SPEAKER_05 46:56

Yeah, for sure. Would you rather argue about money or intimacy? Money. I hate both those conversations. Either one. I know. I hate both of them. Intimacy, though. I don't want to argue about money.

SPEAKER_03 47:15

The money conversation is so so hard to have. But it's so fixed. Even when it's not an argument. Yeah. It's just a difficult thing to sit down at the table and talk about bills or talk about where money's talk about there's not enough money. It's hard to do that. But why? I think a lot of times people don't want to admit that money is their idol.

SPEAKER_06 47:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 47:41

They love money.

SPEAKER_05 47:44

I think my situation is just a little different. Just because, like, with my ex, I didn't really have to worry about that shit while we were together.

SPEAKER_04 47:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 47:56

So, like, we've had conversations and stuff, but I think shit got like rocky more so when he had to go back to work.

SPEAKER_03 48:09

Yeah. Um. So yeah. And also, I don't wanna. As a man, I don't want to bring up the frequency of sex or intimacy.

SPEAKER_06 48:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 48:24

I don't want to say. But you wanna be having it. Yes. So I don't wanna say or have to initiate or say, hey, babe, it's not happening as often as I feel like I need it. I feel like that is pushy and it sounds weird coming from a man, hey babe, I want some pussy in your life. I shouldn't have to ask you for that shit.

SPEAKER_05 48:48

No, for real.

SPEAKER_03 48:49

Just start kissing on me, licking on me. That's a weird one for me because I don't want to have either of those conversations, honestly.

SPEAKER_06 48:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 48:56

I do understand why we have to have them. Also, I'm in a different space. When I was younger, it was difficult to accept some of those truths coming from the other person.

SPEAKER_05 49:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:08

Now I'm a little more self-controlled, so I can accept it and process it as information.

SPEAKER_05 49:14

And it's like you've had a different experiences as well. So it's like, and what are the arguments about that? Like what do you not need?

SPEAKER_06 49:22

Or what are you a lot of receptivity, I guess, if that's like for me, I'll say, like, head, you guys know.

SPEAKER_03 49:31

Well, not that you know, but that's a really important part of the process for me.

SPEAKER_06 49:36

Yeah. For both on both ends.

SPEAKER_03 49:38

I want to do it for you, and I want you to do it to me. I want it to always be a part of the mix.

SPEAKER_06 49:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:44

Honestly, that's how I feel. I mean, for me, especially, I feel like it's such a selfless act. It's you showing me that you want me.

SPEAKER_05 49:52

It's me showing you I got you by the balls.

SPEAKER_04 49:56

Take them. Take them out.

SPEAKER_03 49:59

What the fuck are we doing here? Hilarious. So if I have to ask you about that and you know that's what I'm I need that from you, I'm already in a weird space about that, being honest.

SPEAKER_06 50:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:11

No, I don't ask for your ball.

SPEAKER_06 50:13

So yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 50:17

Interesting. Very good. Would you rather?

SPEAKER_06 50:20

Thank you. I have one more for you.

SPEAKER_04 50:38

Right.

SPEAKER_03 50:39

Say loud. Shit. Um, I would say loud. Loud is interesting.

SPEAKER_05 50:45

Is it? I don't know. Don't be talking loud around me because I don't want to hear that shit.

SPEAKER_03 50:51

I don't mind a loud person. I think personality is important. That's great. Talking all the time.

SPEAKER_05 50:57

You could be talking constantly and not saying shit. Yeah, for sure. For sure. But then on the other hand, you could be saying some shit. I don't come on.

SPEAKER_06 51:07

Like, if we in a nice quiet setting and you're talking loud, like you're embarrassing. Yeah. I don't want that.

SPEAKER_03 51:16

I want to Redwood Diner.

SPEAKER_06 51:18

I'm loud sometimes when I get excited.

SPEAKER_05 51:22

Oh my gosh. And I talk a lot too. Like, I talk a lot too sometimes. Like, sometimes like so quiet, but like when I'm excited, or like if I'm really comfortable with you, I will be like time and place. Yeah. Time and place for sure. There's a lady at my job. I ain't never heard nobody as loud as her. So I if I could tolerate that, yeah. I think I would rather a loud talker than somebody that never shuts the fuck up.

unknown 51:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 51:48

I can tolerate a loud person because I'm quiet to begin with. But nonstop is really wicked, bro. Please give me a break.

SPEAKER_06 52:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 52:04

Well, that's all I got for Would You Rather? Good weekend. Would you rather so good? Not with that voice, not today. No, my voice is fucked, bro. Not today.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:18

Oh, heavens. He ain't that me. He ain't that me. Right, wrong.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:24

In his head, he's probably like, yeah, please stop.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:27

Um, I'm gonna call your Uber, but you gotta go.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:31

I don't think I'm gonna pay for that. I'm not paying for this.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:35

SPEAKER_05 1:01:46

Paying for that shit. Paying for that wax shit.

unknown 1:01:49

SPEAKER_03 1:01:50

Wicked. That's my topic of shit.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:52

Good.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:53

What about you, Lady Risa?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:58

Mine is just like if you a nigga and you know you ain't packing. And I'm not like not even on no funny shit. Like.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:10

Keep that Vienna to yourself. Far away from me. Don't want it. I don't want Weenies. I don't want addicts. Vienna's Frank and Maine. Amputees? Yeah. Cheaters, liars, manipulators, weak ass niggas. I don't want none of that. Go back to your mama house.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:39

It's a straight program.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:41

Yeah. That's why I'm alone and have been for years.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:45

Fair.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:45

Yeah. So fair.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:48

It's fine. Well, besides unreliable co-workers. My Tokyo shit. I hate to put you guys through this again, but niggas thinking that they're the prize. I don't like it. And I guess we'll break that down to maybe not thinking they're the prize, but thinking that uh texting is a sustainable form of conversation. It's not. And I mentioned this to two different people, and I've been called immature and then told I wasn't good enough to have phone calls on the phone. He wasn't sure. Um yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:32

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:33

Like, what does that even mean? Yeah, that just means you're a child and you don't want to talk on the phone like a real person and have conversation. I don't not get to know you through text and two-second videos on Snapchat.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:49

You don't like me.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:50

You don't. And that's okay. Yeah. Get the fuck out of the street. Right.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:55

Because, like, who the fuck are you?

SPEAKER_05 1:03:56

That's crazy. Because you're not worthy of my time. If that's how you feel, but you're not telling me that because you don't want me to not man enough to just say it.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:06

I don't see it as going.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:08

Yeah, right. That's it. We're not. I thought we might hit it off.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:12

We're not a match. Right. Because we were supposed to get together. And I told him that. Well, because we don't really talk like that, I wasn't excited about it. And that was the response that I got.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:24

That's natural. Yeah, that's okay. Texting, snapping, all that shit is supplementary to the actual conversation you should be having.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:35

If you have my phone number, yeah, you're not a real person to me.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:38

Now you can lose it.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:40

Yeah, for sure. It doesn't matter because now it's blocked on everything. You know, I text him back, so what I said, waited for him to read it and start texting back, but then I blocked him. I love doing that. Good stuff. I just think about the person walking. But me stuff in the cement. Yeah, nigga, I'll never know what you said. Wiggles. That's my talking chip. That's great. Fuckers.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:12

Yeah. Makes sense.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:14

SPEAKER_05 1:08:17

Well, your network often impacts your net worth more than your degree.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:24

Agreed.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:26

It's all about who you know and who you blow.

unknown 1:08:30

As it turns out.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:32

As it turns out.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:33

SPEAKER_06 1:08:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:48

People I know. Whether it's employment or business.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:51

SPEAKER_03 1:08:52

It's me connecting with another person, and then I see money coming. Yeah, never the other way around.

Right.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:58

So that's good.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:00

SPEAKER_03 1:09:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:14

Don't feel guilty for detaching from something that's not serving you.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:20

Uh I had a mentor years ago. He said, uh having vision is the ability to say no to the things that don't move you forward. I've had to learn that like letting shit go, like, as hard as it is for me, especially lately. It is hard. Of cards. Mm-hmm. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Letting them to rest. It's a challenge. But I understand like physically my body needs to not have that.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:54

Why? Because I want 250 pounds.

unknown 1:09:57
