I'm 171 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: in a truck and I'm gonna truck drive my home 172 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: own truck. I'm trying to figure out you.

I 175 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: think I think inflation is gonna raise a lot when 176 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: it comes to interest rates on homes, interest rates on cars. 177 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: I think grocery prices are gonna go even higher. I 178 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: think a lot of people are gonna lose their homes. 179 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are gonna lose their 180 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: high end things. And I think we need to rebound 181 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: and get things back to normal. I think it's crazy 182 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: that we can send billions and billions of dollars to 183 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: all these other countries, but we can't help our own 184 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: and make sure things level out here. We think it's 185 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: gonna be tight. So if you got money, hold to 186 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: it right and nay about the economy. If they don't 187 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: figure out this, that's the only thing we're gonna really 188 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: be in trouble. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. And 189 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: we know another thing too, is like these people, these 190 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: people don't understand how Hey, the American trucks, the American 191 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: trunk and industry is like it seems like it's a fall. 192 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: It's all fall. And if it's gonna do yeah, yeah, 193 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: how we're gonna get good. It's gonna be hard getting 194 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: good in the services already, it already takes a long 195 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: time to you. Yeah, nobody's gonna be doing work for 196 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: free out here. But they're trying to box you guys 197 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: out all away because they're trying to create electric trucks. 198 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: That electric eighteen wheel is that they won't actually need drivers. 199 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: So I mean, that's that's gonna be really tough on 200 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: your industry. Let me ask you something, you trust the 201 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 1: Trump Trump going down a road eighty thousand pounds with 202 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: no driving it. I don't, I don't, But but if 203 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: you see what they're doing on the bridges and tolls, 204 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, there's no more people anymore now, 205 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: which all electric, So all those people lost their jobs. 206 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: If you look at what they're doing in the trains 207 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: and the buses, a lot of those people have lost 208 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: their jobs.

Yes. Now, and you wanted to be in 216 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: sports broadcasting? Yeah, and what happened? Um? I think I 217 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: just wanted to be on TV. Man. It wasn't really 218 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: about doing sports broadcasting. It was just like something I 219 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: knew I could go to school for it to like, 220 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: you know, entertain I just I didn't know. I knew 221 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: my parents wanted me to go to school, So I'm like, God, 222 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna figure out the way to stay at school 223 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: and do some cool you know, so yeah, that was 224 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: like to go to just for just to do that though, 225 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: but I ended up doing what I really wanted to it. Now, 226 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, did you make that pivot? Um? Dropping at 227 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: high school? I mean dropping dropping high school, dropping out 228 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: of college. So what year did you drop out? I 229 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: think I did one year at uh GGC, which is 230 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: like a closed school to where I'm from. UM. Then 231 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: I went to Georgia Southern and I did like half 232 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: a semester Jesus, and just stopped going to classes. Just 233 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: all all in. Let's talk about that mindset. Like, man, 234 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: I never went to college period. But so what made 235 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: you realize that, you know, you know what college isn't 236 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: the move from me? UM? I think bro just going 237 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: up Those classes are so big you don't even have 238 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: like a real like like connection with none of the teachers. 239 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: I think when I started at the smaller school, I 240 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: was cool because I still knew people where I was from. 241 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: Everybody's still cool with each other. You know, it felt 242 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: like high school again. You know that's another year high school. 243 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: You get up to those big colleges. I thought it 244 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: was about to be like party. You know what I'm saying. 245 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: You watched movies like atl or drum line and stuff, 246 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: and you see like kind of like the college talk 247 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: about you huh. And I thought it was gonna be 248 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: like that, but nah, man, I went all the way 249 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: out there to that party school and I ended up 250 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: hating it. Broa, it just wasn't I went out there 251 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: for other reasons. I went out there thinking this is 252 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: like the lifestyle I could live, like, yeah, this is 253 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: the real college lifestyle, and ended up just heading me 254 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: in the mouth for it. Like partying and women with you. Yeah, 255 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: I wanted that, man. I wanted a real college experience 256 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: because when you go to those small colleges, you don't 257 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: get that. Like I said, like it's a high school again. 258 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, I'm a step out here. 259 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm trying to get my my deal on, 260 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, I needed that though, because I 261 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: ended up figuring out that I wanted to be a 262 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: comedian when I didn't go to class at other semester. 263 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: So basically you went to college and was like, damn, 264 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: we still got to do work. Yeah. Yeah, it's actually 265 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: worse because the teachers don't they don't they don't give 266 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: a crap about you. You gotta show up, you gotta 267 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: do your work. Yeah, you don't walk in It's a lectures. 268 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: A thousand people sitting in here. They don't care who 269 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: you are. You walking man, listen, man, it ain't it. 270 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: Let's go back to Okay, we're going back. I was 271 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: gonna say, let's go back before college, let's go back 272 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: before high school, because it just don't just start. You 273 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: just don't start being funny. Like I can watch you 274 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: and tell this guy is naturally funny. It's not performative. 275 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: You had to be the class clown and just rupt 276 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: here in school something. Um, yeah I was. I was 277 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: always a class clown man since I was like an 278 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: elementary school. But I didn't know that's what I wanted. 279 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: I actually I wanted to do that, but I didn't 280 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: know it was like a real profession that could like 281 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: be my career. You know. So, Like I'm young, and 282 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: I used to go to the second third grade and 283 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: I used to ask kids be like, who do you 284 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: think the funniest in our classes? And they'd be like, oh, 285 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: you're so funny man, Like you know, I thought that 286 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: was like the cool thing.

That sounds so crazy. 495 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, such and such, you ain't getting no 496 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: money because you know, it doesn't have to be forty, 497 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: could be thirty or twenty or even basis in their 498 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: wealth off of jewelry, of cars, they having cash that 499 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: they could hold up today.

But I'm not saying 530 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: that you should. I'm not saying you should wait that long. 531 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: Huh you married ever? I've been with my my wife 532 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: took him some time, my money four years. We've been 533 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: married since two thousand. For team, take up some time, Bud. 534 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the difference. Man. All jokes aside. Seriously, 535 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: it's all about being intentional about doing the work on themselves. 536 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: If you're intentional about growth, if you're intentional about being 537 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: a good man, you will go do the work on yourself. 538 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: So you know, you don't have women calling up to 539 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: the radio station sad like how she sounds this morning? 540 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: She sounds very sad like this club, good morning, who 541 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: breakfast club? Already everybody's d n V. Charlemagne the guy. 542 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: We all the breakfast club. We got a special guest 543 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: in the building. And how to be loved ladies and gentlemen, 544 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: humble the public, flok you sorry, thank you so much 545 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: for having me. What's up, my guy? What inspired this book? Man? 546 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: Trying to figure out where I kept going wrong and 547 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: love so pretty much it's been like, how come I'm 548 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: not feeling love? How come I'm not receiving love even 549 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: being in beautiful relationships? And then going down this journey 550 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: and trying to figure out what to do, and started 551 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: reading every love coach of the philosopher, all the religious 552 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: tes psychologist, everything and being at the front of the class, 553 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: taking as many notes as possible. And the first thing 554 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: I realized is like, I have so much love in 555 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: my life, I'm not receiving it that built up all 556 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: these walls. I thought all these walls were protecting me, 557 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: but really they were just serving as a prison, keeping 558 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: me out. Because now it's because you don't love yourself. 559 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: I think I didn't know how to love myself. I 560 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: didn't understand even though it's extremely simple, not easy but simple. 561 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: I didn't understand how important it is if you don't 562 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: have love for yourself or you don't cultivate that relationship, 563 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what your relationship with anybody else is. 564 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: Did you find love? Did you actually find it all? 565 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: Is it still a mission? Still looking? So what I 566 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: realized is you can't find love. Love is always there 567 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: and it's about realizing love. So the analogy I like 568 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: uses like love is like a breeze and you have 569 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: to open your sales to love. It's not about looking 570 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: for the breeze, is about doing the work to open 571 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: the sales. Do you know the definition of love? Because 572 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: in my relationship, I didn't necessarily know the definition of 573 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: love to me, like, you know what people tell you 574 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: what love is, and I didn't know the actual death 575 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: nition of what love is. Just so do you know 576 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: the definition or do you break that down. Yeah. So 577 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: there's a beautiful quote by Naval cont that says love 578 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: is what's left when all other emotions are gone. So 579 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: and I think what that is in got peace. So 580 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: love isn't something that you have to find the choir 581 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: earn or when did you clean up the clutter, get 582 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: rid of everything else? And then what's less is love? 583 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question one moment. So, if 584 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: you love somebody right and you know how people say 585 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: you know you might be. You might see a couple 586 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: and the man cheat to a woman or the woman 587 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: cheats on a man. Can they possibly love that person 588 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: if they would cheat on them or if they get 589 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: into an altercation or is it domestic violence? Could you 590 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 1: love that person and fight them? You know? I mean, 591 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: could you love that person and knowingly hurt them? It's 592 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: that love. So the better way to frame it, and 593 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: this is a Peter Crone idea, is instead of saying 594 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: I love you, you say you show me where love is, 595 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: because again, the love is constant. What you're doing is 596 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: you develop a relationship with somebody and you create a 597 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: pathway of love. So then the problem is what we 598 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: do to mess up that pathways? We start focusing on 599 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: things like control, power, attention, validation, all these things that 600 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: kind of feel like love, but they're not actually loved, 601 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: because if they were actually loved, love is like I 602 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: don't need anything else, all these other things I need 603 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: more and more and more and more. It's not having everything, 604 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: it's not needing anything. So we're talking about stuff like this, 605 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: you're talking about unhealthy relationship dynamics and not have them 606 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: to do with love. And what that's actually doing is 607 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: closing the pathways of love between you and somebody else 608 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: like me and you. Over the years we've chatted, we 609 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: are creating a bond over time. Now if I do 610 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: something disrespectful, I'm closing that bond. I'm closing that pathway. 611 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: So does that mean you don't necessarily love them the 612 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: way that you say you do? Right? Because if I 613 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: love something, or I'm in love with something or not 614 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: in love, but if I love something right, I'm gonna 615 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: do everything. Oh, I should do everything not to hurt 616 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: that person or not to show or not to close 617 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: that pathway, like you said, because if I close that pathway, 618 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: that means I'm not showing them love. That means I 619 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: actually don't love him. Like I say, I do. Yeah, 620 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: So part of loving yourself is going easy on yourself 621 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: because none of us are perfect, so we're all gonna 622 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: make mistakes. So it's looking at it from that perspective 623 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: as well, not like what I should do when I 624 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: love somebody's a lot of that's going to be cultured. 625 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: Depends on where you are in the world. The definition 626 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: of marriage is different, the definition of monogamy is different, 627 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: definition all these definitions are different. When you have love 628 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: for somebody, you are you are doing your best to 629 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: serve them. And what you realize is trying to serve 630 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: one person is completely different than trying to serve somebody else, 631 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: And depending on where they're at, you know, and it's 632 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: not something I gotta win. I don't have to deserve it. 633 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: I don't have to be worthy of love. I don't 634 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: have to be enough for love. Everybody we know in 635 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: our lives that we love, we know all their imperfections. 636 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: None of that just qualifies them from love. None of 637 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: that means they don't deserve to be loved. And then also, 638 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, you guys are both parents. You would have 639 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: held your children and loved them immediately. You know, love 640 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: doesn't requires to do or be anything. You know, when 641 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: you say a person who said person can show me love? 642 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: What the quote? You show me where love is? You 643 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: show me what love is. I don't know if that 644 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: can be received if you don't, if you don't know 645 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: what love is like you know, I'm talking to humble 646 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: like I didn't have humble long bery needs to me 647 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: and humble talk. But like your first, last, and best 648 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: love should be self love. If you don't know what 649 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: love feels like, you won't even know what you're being showed. 650 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: And it's the same, the exact same recipe for me 651 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: and you to develop a stronger bond, it's got to 652 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: be vulnerability for you and you to develop a stronger bond. 653 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: It's got to be vulnerability, you know, for you and 654 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: your wife to develop a stronger bonds, gotta be vulnerability. 655 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: You guys have to go out on dates. You guys 656 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: have to be sharies things which you have to be. 657 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: You have to be willing to take a risk of 658 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: getting hurt. And the same thing with yourself. Journaline being 659 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,719 Speaker 1: honest with yourself. Prayer, irrespective of what your religious beliefs are. 660 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: When people pray, that is the time they are the 661 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: most honest about what they want and the most honest 662 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: about what they're grateful for. So it's not performative. When 663 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: you do that, you become much more vulnerable with yourself 664 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: instead of looking at this on some surface level stuff 665 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: where people are literally just outsourcing the antidote to their 666 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: loneliness by having another person around. But the antidote to 667 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: loneliness isn't having people around you, it's being connected. Now, 668 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: what do you think we get to the point where, 669 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: like you know, one of your Instagram phase, we know 670 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: you would come in, you know, looked upon the book 671 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: and you posted a picture of yourself and no shirt on. Right, 672 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: where do we change where people would make fun of 673 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: or talk about people that weren't in shape? Right? Where 674 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: people talking about dad bods? And I just remember a 675 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: time growing up as a kid, everybody in the beach 676 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: was all sides, shapes, big, small, people in shape, people 677 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: not in shape. But where do we get to that 678 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: place in society where it's like people only love a 679 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: certain type of body, where they feel like if anything 680 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: is not that chiseled and eight pack or six pack. Now, 681 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: why you go to those job, bro? It's a personal bro, 682 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: What's the next man you're gonna get on the steroid. 683 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: It's a personal bro like you shard of when do 684 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: we get to that place as a society where it 685 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: almost feels like we don't love ourselves, that we want 686 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: to be somebody else and shut up? I think, you know, 687 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: damn those jobs. I think the first thing iss trying 688 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: to figure out where these ideas come from. So, from 689 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: a science perspective, healthy body right from manage between eighteen 690 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: and twenty two percent, right for a woman it's even higher. 691 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: So the doctors out there saying a woman should never 692 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: have a six pack, and for men, you know that 693 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: should not be a long term man, shouldn't have a 694 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: six pack, should not actually like that purpose. But however, 695 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, so for example, like I've you know, I've 696 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: been hired to model in situations before. They didn't hire 697 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: me in a model because I'm beautiful, It's because I 698 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: was sample sized. I'm the size and the shoulder length, 699 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, and depending on what I eat, the belly 700 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: goes down. But at the same time as the question 701 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: is who defines all of this, where do we get 702 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: these ideas from? Well, these ideas come from businesses that 703 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: want to sell your stuff for money. So it's realizing that, look, 704 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: we're being taught there. You watch a Disney movie that's 705 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: teaching you about love. You watch porn that's teaching you 706 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: about love. You watch a wrong calm that's teaching you 707 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: about love, You watch a reality here. All these things 708 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: are suddenly teaching us about love. And we have to 709 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: realize these ideas aren't artists. And I think that's the 710 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: big thing. A lot of times we think we own 711 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: our thoughts, but they're just put into us and then 712 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: they start sounding like us, our parents, we grew up, 713 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: our parents, who ever raised us. That's the first model 714 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: of love we have out of how functional, dysfunctional, and 715 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: then that becomes comfort. So this type of love we 716 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: saw growing up becomes our comfort food. And if it's dysfunctional, 717 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: then we lean into that. And what I'm because people 718 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: would be like, you wrote a book, you won't married 719 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: you and this you went that. I'm like, that's not 720 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: what this book is about. This book is not about 721 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: finding a partner. This book is about not worrying either way, 722 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: being happy with how your life is. And this book 723 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 1: is about loving yourself as you are. So the purpose 724 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: of that was because an activity you're having the book 725 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: is look at yourself in the mirror and not be 726 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: judgmental and be grateful. So I'm like, all right, I'm 727 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: gonna do that. That video has two million views. Too 728 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: many people see me in my underwear, and it's like 729 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: that scared the crap allowed me to do it. What 730 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: the print looked like? Though? Nothing? You know, you gotta 731 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: put the factor in everything. You know what I'm saying. 732 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: But you because you should look. You should look and say, okay, 733 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: what does your print look like? Because if you got 734 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: a big print, people you're looking like, damn, you don't 735 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: look like he packing all that too. If you look 736 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: like you're packing too, man, people to watch it, how 737 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: do we get here? So question? Do you believe in 738 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: love languages? You know this, It's been the big versation 739 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: in the last year, people talking about the love language. 740 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: What your love language? I think there's only one love 741 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: language that's to be seen and understood. And then you know, 742 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: they just took that and made it more detail to 743 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: be seen and understood. The physical touch through gifts through 744 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: I don't even know what the other ones are feel like, 745 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: they just made it specific. I look at it like horoscopes. 746 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: Everyone just wants to be a part of a certain 747 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: team and they want to be like unique to that. 748 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: But as I said love to me, we should focus 749 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: on love as the verb, like love is service. Start 750 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: focusing on what you require as much as giving it 751 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: out if you want to realize That's what I'm saying 752 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: that instead of finding love, it's more like realizing love. 753 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: You want to realize love. The easiest way to do 754 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: that is by loving people and love them because it's 755 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: a gift that you have, not because it's a loan 756 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: that you want paid back. We got more of one 757 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: of my favorite young minds on the planet, Humble the Poet, 758 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club wanting everybody is DJ Envy. John Amaine, 759 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 1: the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking 760 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: it with Humble the Poet. Now, they said that you 761 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: haven't spoke to your mother in a while because of 762 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: a comment she made about XPRS. Is that true? Well, 763 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 1: when I wrote it, so what happens happened? Because you 764 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: love your mom, but you can't speak to your mom. Yeah, 765 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: so it's it's it's again, it's understanding. So I was 766 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 1: in an extremely serious relationship and then it ended. It 767 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: ended over the pandemic and my mom, you know, it 768 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: was crazy over her. So what would happen is, uh, 769 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: I moved. I moved to la after the pandemic, so 770 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: I'd call I call him with my mom every day, 771 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,800 Speaker 1: and every day she would just from my shield. You know, 772 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: it would have been a year now that you guys 773 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: would have been together. It would have been this. And 774 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: I was like, look, Mom, like you're you're making me 775 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: feel bad. I understand how you feel. You're doing this. 776 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: So the way, the way, that was the last chapter 777 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 1: of the book. So what it was. I finished this book, 778 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: let's say January twenty twenty two. Finished, you know, I 779 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: gotta go through it like a nine month process editing 780 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: the day before the book was due for print, which 781 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: was this September, I was like, okay, it's been nine months. 782 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: I gotta write something. So I wrote that last chapter. 783 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: So in that last chapter, in that September, I had 784 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: spent like a month avoiding talking to my mom. Had 785 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: a job men that I mean immigrant families. Man's pretending 786 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: didn't exist. It cut you off. Well, it's not even 787 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: a cut. You just like, look Mom, like you're not 788 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 1: I understand you're upset over this breakup and and it sucks, 789 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: and it breaks my heart that it's breaking your heart. 790 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: But I can't do nothing. And this has been a 791 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: constant theme of my I think a lot of immigrant 792 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: kids in general, a lot of kids in general. It's like, 793 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: your dreams can include other people's names. Your dreams and 794 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: your goals have to be your dreams and goals. Your 795 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: dreams can't be for my son to get married and 796 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 1: for me to have grandkids. That can't be your dream. 797 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: You're just putting pressure on somebody else to be something 798 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: that they're not where they are right now. We can't 799 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: fall in love with other people's potential. You can only 800 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: fall in love with your potential. So that's what the 801 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: challenge was. So there was just a time where it 802 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: just got so much where it's like, you know, I 803 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: could feel tension every time I saw her call, because 804 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: the questions are always the same, are you eating, what 805 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: did you learn how to cook? How's your puppy? And 806 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: then you know what, you would have been better had 807 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: you just stayed here, had you went and just got 808 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 1: it searching for love? Boy, it was through this journey, 809 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: as I said, like I was in a great relationship 810 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: with a great person, but I wasn't able to receive, 811 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, because I did not have a healthy relationship 812 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: with myself. I had this, as I said, I had 813 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: all these walls up. I had this idea that I 814 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: need to be independent. I had all this idea that 815 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: you know, I'm on the grind. I had to do 816 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: all these different things now and then and then also 817 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 1: realizing ideas like codependency. So what ends up happening is 818 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: when you when you break up with somebody, what you're 819 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: really breaking up? What's the version of you in that relationship. 820 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: You're not breaking up with the person, you're breaking up 821 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: with who you are in that relationship, realizing that what's 822 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: required for you to keep that relationship up. There there 823 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: was a tension there because it's like, you know, family expectations, 824 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 1: all these different things. And that wasn't me living my 825 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: authentic life. And it wasn't for any other reason than 826 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: me not doing the work internally to be authentic about 827 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: that and be honest with me, like, wait a minute, 828 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 1: what is this? And a lot of that's trial and error, 829 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 1: you know. And I'm in therapy now, and one of 830 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: the big things my therapist says, is your goal is 831 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: to quickly realize somebody isn't good for you. That's your goal. 832 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: How quickly can you realize there's an incompatibility? And you know, 833 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 1: though you know, some days are more successful than than others. 834 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: And that goes back to another idea, which is love. 835 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: A big idea that people I think have misunderstood about love. 836 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: If they think it's glue. I love my partner enough 837 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: that's enough to keep us together. Love is not glue. 838 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,720 Speaker 1: Love is fuel relationships. All relationships, romantic friendships, business, everything 839 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: require work. The love that you have is the fuel 840 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: to make you work at it. Your chance just be like, 841 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: I love you, so that's enough to keep us together. 842 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: The work that the unsexy work, the day to day 843 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 1: unsexy work, is was going to keep a relationship together. Man, 844 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: everything you're saying is so true. And you know when 845 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: you talk about sometimes we say, oh we've we've outgrown somebody, right, 846 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking about like inter relationships. I'm 847 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: talking about with friends. It's not even that you just 848 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: outgrew that person. You actually did break up with that person. 849 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: And the reason you broke up with them is because 850 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: you broke up you broke off the unhealthy versions of 851 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: yourself and y'all might have been trauma bonding. So sometimes 852 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: when we say we are grown people, because oh, that 853 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,359 Speaker 1: person is still on the same thing that we used 854 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: to be on. That person hasn't dealt with their trauma 855 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: yet I've dealt with mine. We had a trauma bond. 856 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: Now that I broke those parts in me off, me 857 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: and that person ended up breaking up. Yeah, yeah, completely. 858 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: And that's a really good way of putting it where 859 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: it's realizing that, look, it's not about the other person, 860 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: it's about you. So instead of having expectations of other people, 861 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 1: just have standards for yourself and blade these are my standards. 862 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 1: The people who live up live up to it, I 863 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: will invest in them, and the people that don't, you know, 864 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: best of luck to you. I can still love you 865 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: from afar. And I think the important thing with that 866 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,280 Speaker 1: is you're allowed to change and evolve your standards because 867 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: we don't know what we don't know, you know, so 868 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know when you you know, 869 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,360 Speaker 1: I know you're big on investing, But the idea behind 870 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: that really is thinking long term. You're deferring gratification, You're 871 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: buying the thing that will let you buy the thing. Right. 872 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: That's a mindset, you know. That's that's the marshmallow test 873 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: that they give kids. You know, wait five minutes, here's 874 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 1: a marshmallow. If you don't eat it in five minutes, 875 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: then we'll give you too much meadows. It's teaching them 876 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: to defer gratification. Now, you got to be around people 877 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: who share that mindset, even if they're not investing, you know, 878 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: And so now that could be your standard of who 879 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: you're going to devote your time. And because your time 880 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 1: is one of the most valuable things you have. So 881 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: we have to continually instead of having expectations of anybody, 882 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: just to find our standards. But like these are my standards, 883 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: you live up to the standards, you know. I can 884 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: invest in you if you don't, no disrespect. I accept 885 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: you as you are, but I can't invest time, energy, 886 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: attention and work to create a pathway of love with you. Absolutely. 887 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: You know what else too, Man, I like it that 888 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,720 Speaker 1: you keep talking about vulnerability because I think that sometimes 889 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: in relationships, I don't even know what we think. Vulnerability 890 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: is what I'd be thinking sometimes, Vulnerability, man, is letting 891 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: people see that dark side, like like letting people see 892 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: that that shadow side, you know what I mean, that 893 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,919 Speaker 1: side that we try to keep to ourselves. I'm not talking, 894 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about like like sometimes you might be 895 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: thinking some real epped up stuff. You know, can you 896 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: tell your significant other that? Or can you tell somebody 897 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: you love that or somebody that loves you and they 898 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: still love you. Yeah, So that's really good because I 899 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: think the other thing is we always think about zero 900 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: to one hundred. It's like either you're not vulnerable with somebody, 901 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: you're completely vulnerable, and there's a lot in between. So 902 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: what I learned in therapy is had two vulnerable stories 903 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: in your pocket that you could tell a stranger that 904 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: won't scare them away, and that's the way to establish 905 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 1: a bond. So one of mine, for example, is speaking 906 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: about dogs. I had a dog growing up. He lived 907 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: out his life for eleven years. Broke my heart to 908 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: put him to sleep. He was eleven years old. His 909 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: hips went, broke my heart to put him to sleep, 910 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: avoided getting another dog, became everybody's backseat dog owner, telling 911 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: them how to raise their dogs, and then eventually somebody said, hey, 912 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: there's this puppy available. Do you want it, and I'm like, no, no, no, 913 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm over dogs. They got to move to America and 914 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: do with all this. Eventually Snap got the dog and 915 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: it may be super happy. This vulnerability in the story 916 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: not enough vulnerability is scare stranger away. And what happens 917 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: is when you're vulnerable with somebody. The reason we fear 918 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: being vulnerable is we fear judgment, we fear a shame. 919 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: But what I've realized is when I'm vulnerable with people, 920 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: it invites them to be vulnerable with me. That may 921 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 1: allow someone to tell me a story about a loss 922 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: that they had. The other one is losing my grandmother, 923 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 1: talking about you know, being a little kid and sleeping 924 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 1: in the bed with her, and and and and tracing 925 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 1: all the veins or the wrinkles in her hands, and 926 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, just hearing your stories, not understanding what she 927 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: said because she didn't have any teeth, and just this 928 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 1: beautiful story and how much I miss her. Again, that 929 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 1: allows someone to connect with you on a deeper level. 930 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 1: You got to tell them all the shadow stuff where 931 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: you can work your way up, you know, And I 932 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: think that's a really important thing. Vulnerable and again, be 933 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: vulnerable with yourself being like, well, why did that thing 934 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: that you know, Charlotte, many say to me, why did 935 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 1: that bother me? And write it out, you know, and 936 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: and the easiest way to journal. Here's a step by 937 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 1: step with the journal. Step one, just write about the event. 938 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: Step two, write about your feelings about how that situation 939 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,879 Speaker 1: made you feel. Just write them all out, however made 940 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,760 Speaker 1: you feel, made you feel upset, jealous, angry, happy, excited, whatever. 941 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: You realize the majority of emotions we have are on 942 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: the negative side, because that's how we learn to survive. 943 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 1: Step three, look at those feelings that you wrote out 944 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: and write your thoughts about it and be like, okay, 945 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 1: I understand. Okay, the reason I felt insecure about that 946 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,399 Speaker 1: because the way he said it sounded like that kid 947 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 1: in the seventh grade, but the way you know. And 948 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you start building this thing 949 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: called self awareness. You're picking up on your patterns, and 950 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 1: now you realize you don't own your emotion. I am 951 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: not happy, I'm feeling happiness. I'm not anxious, I'm feeling anxious. 952 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: You separate yourself from it because every single emotion everybody 953 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: has ever felt was impermanent. They all go away good 954 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: ones and a bad one. So this journaling will allow 955 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 1: you to be vulnerable with yourself and be honest with yourself, 956 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 1: and you'll build a deeper connection with yourself, and then 957 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: you'll be able to better articulate to other people. You 958 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: know how they can be around you and you're just 959 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: setting boundaries, and your boundaries are about you, not about them. 960 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: We got more with Humble a Poet when we come back, 961 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club the morning, don't want 962 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: to get everybody is DJ guy. We are to Breakfast Club. 963 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 1: Was still kicking it with Humble a Poet. You know, 964 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,879 Speaker 1: the last chapter in the book is called the last 965 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 1: book I'll ever right now, you've written four super successful books. 966 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 1: You don't really mean that, right. So the way I 967 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 1: try to write so again, First I think to myself, 968 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: like what more important than love? What else? Is it? All? Right? 969 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: And as I said, I wrote that last chapter the 970 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 1: day the book was to hit print, so they didn't 971 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 1: even get edited. And you know that that didn't go 972 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 1: to the editing process, and it was like what else 973 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: is left for me to say? And I was looking 974 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: at it, squeezing out, you know, my sponge to hit 975 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 1: it and I try to write books with that idea, 976 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: so you know, going into that and then also with 977 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: just other opportunities coming my way. It's something that I've 978 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 1: been exploring. I think recently helping out a couple of 979 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: friends in the world of anxiety has made me thinking 980 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: about anxiety a lot. And the idea of moving in 981 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: New York. I was like, oh, there's a beautiful book there. 982 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: Moved to New York and write about anxiety like that fits. 983 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of ideas there and then maybe 984 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: in the form of an audiobook or something like that, 985 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: just watching how the industry changes and stuff. But I 986 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: wrote this book with the idea this is gonna be 987 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: a last book, and I also talked about it being 988 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,320 Speaker 1: the most expensive book because it's just you know, writing 989 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,760 Speaker 1: this book, man, I had to let go of layers 990 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: of myself and it's cool to be vulnerable, but it 991 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 1: also it does make you vulnerable, you know. And I'm 992 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 1: way more emotional than I used to be because I 993 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 1: I shed a lot of walls and then that was 994 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,839 Speaker 1: cool for writing and creating art, but that ain't cool 995 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,760 Speaker 1: when you're out reaching out to people, trying to do stuff, 996 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: trying to get you know, get on people's shows, do 997 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 1: whatever hearing knows all of that that made me super 998 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: mindful of it. I'm getting to do it. And as 999 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: I said, I'm thinking a lot about anxiety and I'll 1000 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 1: do some research for the next couple of months on that, 1001 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: and this is something good that I want to write 1002 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,959 Speaker 1: about it. I'm heavily inspired by Kendrick, and I feel 1003 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 1: like he speaks when there's something we're saying. I mean, 1004 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot of great books on anxiety. There's one 1005 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 1: called Shook One Anxiety one. Guys, guy, it looks like 1006 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: Marris Chestnut. What is a good one? Chesnut? That guy 1007 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: does not look nothing like Marris Chestnu. What you said 1008 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,399 Speaker 1: about Kendrick is interesting too, because Kendrick explored a lot 1009 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: of conversations about love that men don't have. And I 1010 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,280 Speaker 1: think one of those relationships is definitely the relationship between 1011 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: a father and a son, because that is the first 1012 00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,120 Speaker 1: man that you love and the first man that as 1013 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: supposed to love you. But if you grew up in 1014 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,840 Speaker 1: a certain era, like bebe forty four years old, my 1015 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 1: dad grew up in the time in the nineteen hundreds 1016 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 1: when they definitely didn't know how to love theirselves. They 1017 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: definitely didn't have the tools in any way, shape or 1018 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 1: form today and still that in us. And then we're 1019 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: kind of like the first generation that has the luxury 1020 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: of healing. And so now we're looking at them like, oh, goddamn, 1021 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,800 Speaker 1: why do you still like it? Mean so, but you 1022 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 1: still I don't know if you want to call it toxic. 1023 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 1: It's toxic into word, but it's it's like a dysfunctional 1024 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: thing because I love you, yeah, but you kind of 1025 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 1: asked me up. And then that goes back to this 1026 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 1: idea of going easy on yourself. When you go easy 1027 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,879 Speaker 1: on yourself and go easy on other people, and it's 1028 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: like you knew what you knew, Like they came from 1029 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: a world like that, you know, and it's you know, 1030 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: maybe in forty years, you know, when your children are adults, 1031 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna be dramatically more evolved as an individual than 1032 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 1: you are. They're gonna look at you that's prehistoric with 1033 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 1: your mindsets and whatever, and we don't even know what 1034 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 1: those things are. You know, Like back then, people who 1035 00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: have lead pain, you know, I think it was in 1036 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: the seventies. People before the seventies, people were driving without 1037 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: seat belts, there are things that we think are common sense, 1038 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: and you realize that there was a time that people 1039 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: didn't even think about bags. We don't know what twenty 1040 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: twenty three's ignorance is, Like, oh my, we were carrying 1041 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: these devices in our pockets the whole time, and now 1042 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: we all wonder like why we got certain diseases or 1043 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: what have you, or we were eating all this food, 1044 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: and so they're gonna look at us the same win. 1045 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: It's just you're gonna be like, look, I knew what 1046 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 1: I knew. And I always think about that with my 1047 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 1: parents because I definitely grew up in a world it 1048 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,320 Speaker 1: was like my family to this day is the subtle 1049 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,719 Speaker 1: signal they always had my back, but I only went 1050 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 1: to them in emergencies. You know. I knew if she 1051 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 1: hit the fan, I can go to my family and 1052 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,759 Speaker 1: they will have my back. But what if I was 1053 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: like fifteen and I had a crush and needed advice 1054 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 1: for my sister, I wouldn't go to her, you know, 1055 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 1: And then you start thinking that you're a burden to 1056 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 1: other people. I don't want to bother them. And it 1057 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 1: took somebody advice, but I mean just the vulnerability of it. 1058 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: You value through the vulnerability. I think, yeah, you should 1059 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 1: not just go to one person for advice ever, you 1060 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 1: should always triangulate your advice and get as many people 1061 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: who know what they're talking about. But the idea of 1062 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: even asking somebody, Yeah, So, what I realized in my 1063 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 1: house was like we only went to each other for emergencies, 1064 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,880 Speaker 1: the little things we did, and we became overly self regulated. 1065 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,279 Speaker 1: I don't need nobody. I don't need nobody. And this 1066 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 1: is a conversation of having somebody yesterday, Like there's no 1067 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 1: such things self made. We all need each other. We're 1068 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: all interdependent. You know, even if you did the grind 1069 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,320 Speaker 1: and it felt like you did it by yourself, you 1070 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,399 Speaker 1: still lived in a part of the world that maybe 1071 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: wasn't at war, so you were able to do it. 1072 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 1: Somebody paved the roads for you to get around. Somebody 1073 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 1: kept the subway going for you to move around. We 1074 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,319 Speaker 1: need each other. That's why folks are so anxious now 1075 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 1: because I can't rely on anybody to keep me secure. 1076 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 1: Like when you walk in a room and it's mad people. 1077 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,360 Speaker 1: I know red, I know envy, I know nick, I 1078 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 1: know humble, but I still got to make sure all 1079 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: of y'all are good because all it takes is one 1080 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: person to go I'm using the word crazy, to go crazy, 1081 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: one person to flip and ruin everybody's day. You don't 1082 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: know where that could come from, nowaday, you know, And 1083 00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: that's a beautiful way to look at it. It's surface here. 1084 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 1: Love is serving people. Love is a verb, and that's 1085 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 1: why the book is called How to Be Loved, but 1086 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 1: the dea is in parentheses because it's really about how 1087 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 1: to be loved, how to realize you're a source of love. 1088 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,400 Speaker 1: And if you want to realize love is looking inwards. 1089 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 1: You can't solve internal issues with external solutions. It's never 1090 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 1: it's never gonna work. So instead it's like cultivate a 1091 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 1: healthier relationship with yourself, which means learning how to be 1092 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,320 Speaker 1: by yourself. And spending time by yourself isn't being in 1093 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 1: your room on your phone, it's literally being by yourself. 1094 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: And then you'll start to realize the difference between loneliness 1095 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 1: and solitude. Solitude is the reward for being by yourself. 1096 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 1: Loneliness is the punishment, and the difference is just getting 1097 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 1: to know yourself, spending time with yourself understanding, Okay, this 1098 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 1: is I'm full of anxiety. Why, oh well, I'm so 1099 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 1: used to having a device or something giving me some 1100 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: dopamine and a reward. Okay, I'm going through withdrawal. That's cool, 1101 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 1: I gotta do it. Most of the mental health issues 1102 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,399 Speaker 1: we have aren't coming from unpleasant emotions. They're coming from 1103 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 1: suppressing unpleasant emotions. I feel anxiety, Let me, let me, 1104 00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,360 Speaker 1: let me take a shot. I feel anxiety. Let me 1105 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,720 Speaker 1: let me smoke some I feel anxiety. Let me distract 1106 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: myself all of that. The anxiety is your friend. It's 1107 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 1: a message telling you something. Pain is always a message, 1108 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: whether the pain is take your hand off that hot stove, 1109 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 1: whether that pain is hey, you heard you know. A 1110 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 1: good example I heard recently is names. Somebody can mention 1111 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 1: the name today, and if it's one of our exes, 1112 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 1: it's going to trigger us in a different way. We 1113 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: feel it. Pay attention to that. Why did that do something? Oh? 1114 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: Because it reminded me of so and so. Okay, let 1115 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 1: me let me go journal about that. You know what 1116 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 1: psychologies do is they make you take your most traumatic 1117 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 1: experiences and speak about them over and over and over 1118 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: and over again until the weight reduces. I'm not going 1119 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 1: to say it completely goes away, but you're disinfecting it 1120 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: by letting it out. Yeah, you know what you said 1121 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: is so real man, And I told you this the 1122 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,360 Speaker 1: other day. My therapist said that anxiety and faith can't coexist. 1123 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 1: So whenever you start feeling anxious about something, that anxiety 1124 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,320 Speaker 1: starts kicking in. Tell yourself your own hero story. Literally, 1125 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 1: like tell yourself your hero story, like gash yourself up, 1126 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 1: but you're gassing yourself up with the truth. Like tell 1127 00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 1: yourself about the things that you succeeded. You know, I mean, 1128 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 1: tell yourself how you succeeded about, tell yourself where you've 1129 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,800 Speaker 1: come from, you know, talk about to tell yourself the 1130 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,320 Speaker 1: good that you do for other people, you know what 1131 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,880 Speaker 1: I mean? Like, you'll tell yourself your own hero story. 1132 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 1: And it works. It definitely works. And again and the idea, 1133 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,720 Speaker 1: you know, the subtitle of the book is going easier 1134 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 1: on yourself. The reason we have anxieties because we're thinking 1135 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 1: about the future. Regrets are about yesterday, anxiety is about tomorrow. 1136 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 1: And the reason we have to actively tell our hero 1137 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 1: story is because our brains are designed to ignore everything 1138 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,560 Speaker 1: that works and focus on what's out of place. That's 1139 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 1: why we're always noticing what's out of place in our life. 1140 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 1: Everything could be lined up, you know, and then we're like, 1141 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 1: well that one thing. That's how our brains are designed. 1142 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with us that kept us alive in 1143 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 1: nature forever, and that software isn't going to be That 1144 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,880 Speaker 1: software is built into us. Recognize it and and do 1145 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: activities like this. So I have to actively express gratitude 1146 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,280 Speaker 1: to telling my story and even the idea of gratude. 1147 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 1: I love this from j If not say what you're 1148 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 1: grateful for, it's close your eyes, remember a time you 1149 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,319 Speaker 1: felt gratitude and relive its book on love You'll ever 1150 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: need man how to be Love's right.

Okay, here's a priest, a Catholic priest, who 1175 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 1: quite possibly has bought a whole bunch of you a 1176 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 1: first class ticket to Hell. There's thousands of y'all walking 1177 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: around right now with illegitimate baptisms. What is Uncle Charlotte 1178 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 1: talking about this morning. What is the good Brotherlannards saying 1179 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,359 Speaker 1: in regards the illegitimate baptisms, exactly what I say, all right, 1180 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: some of your baptisms are nulling, boy, fraudulent, unauthorized, unsanctioned, unofficial, unlicensed, 1181 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 1: un whatever. Okay, okay, whatever you had happened under the 1182 00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 1: water don't count because Priest Andre's arrange didn't say it right. 1183 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,280 Speaker 1: He didn't say to baptism right. It's like a spell. 1184 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 1: You know how your iPhone has ten Harry Potter spells 1185 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 1: that work, would Siri, But they don't work if you 1186 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,719 Speaker 1: don't pronounce it right. That's kind of what happened which 1187 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 1: your baptism. One word, one word kept you from being 1188 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 1: cleansed of all your things. I can't make this kind 1189 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 1: of foolsness up. Let's go to Fox ten Phoenix for 1190 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: the report. Police. One word has made a divine difference 1191 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,759 Speaker 1: when it comes to the first sacrament in the Catholic faith. Baptisms. 1192 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 1: Phoenix priest Father Andres Arango resigned and apologized after he 1193 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,800 Speaker 1: had changed a pivotal word in the baptismal right. The 1194 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 1: priest had been saying, we baptize you in the name 1195 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,600 Speaker 1: of the Father and of the Son and of the 1196 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,239 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. The correct version starts with I baptize you. 1197 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,360 Speaker 1: Orango had been part of the Catholic Diocese in Phoenix 1198 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: since two thousand and five. He posted an apology letter 1199 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: through the diocese saying, in part he would dedicate his 1200 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 1: energy to remedy the situation. Other sacraments taken after, like confirmation, 1201 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,839 Speaker 1: marriage and Holy Orders could also will be invalid if 1202 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,960 Speaker 1: the baptism itself is invalidated. I can't keep up at 1203 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 1: this level of perfection y'all got going on in two 1204 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 1: twenty two. This kind of perfection you have to have. Now, 1205 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:12,320 Speaker 1: I can't deal with it. You know, if just the 1206 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 1: kind of perfection you have to have, I'm screwed. Okay, 1207 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,719 Speaker 1: I'm confused by this. Instead of saying I baptize you 1208 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 1: in the name of the Father and of the Son 1209 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:25,279 Speaker 1: and of the Holy Spirit. During baptism, Priest Andre said we. 1210 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,840 Speaker 1: And the issue with using we is that it is 1211 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: not the community that baptizes a person. Rather it is 1212 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 1: Christ and him alone who presides at all of the baptisms. 1213 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 1: And so it is Christ Jesus who baptizes God. You know, 1214 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 1: my heart and I try to only say what it 1215 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 1: is that you want me to say. And in this moment, 1216 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,839 Speaker 1: the spirit is telling me to scream. Cap cap cap 1217 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 1: trap cap cap. Where is Bresident Joe Biden when I 1218 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 1: need him? Huh, let me hear it. Oh, we'll pull 1219 00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,439 Speaker 1: it up when you can't. Okay, there's a cap. That's 1220 00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,720 Speaker 1: say it again. President, there's a cap that's right. Priests, arrango, 1221 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:09,360 Speaker 1: it is I, it is I. When you're getting baptized, 1222 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 1: as in you, you are baptizing people in the name 1223 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit. Even if you say we to 1224 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 1: me means you, God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. That's the collective. 1225 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: That's we. That's a group, that's to me goes, that's 1226 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,360 Speaker 1: Destiny's child, that's woutan clan, It's a collective. Okay. The 1227 00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: lie the cap is that it is Christ and him 1228 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 1: alone who presides at all of the sacraments, and it 1229 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 1: is Christ Jesus who baptizes. Jesus might be there in spirit, 1230 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 1: but Jesus didn't dunk you under that water. Jesus not 1231 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 1: physically there with you, but that priest Andreas standing there. Okay, 1232 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 1: he's there, and him dunking you in the name of God, 1233 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 1: Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That sounds about right to me. 1234 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,320 Speaker 1: So why is Priest Arrango getting dunkey here today? I'll 1235 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 1: tell you why for stepping down, for resigning, for causing 1236 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 1: all of this fuss for no damn reason. Do you 1237 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:05,040 Speaker 1: really think God, okay, g O D the Almighty who 1238 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,160 Speaker 1: forgives us for all our sins if we repent, is 1239 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,640 Speaker 1: tripping because you said we and not I? Seriously? Does 1240 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:15,840 Speaker 1: intention not matter? Baptism represents the forgiveness in cleansing from 1241 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:20,160 Speaker 1: sin that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Okay. Baptism 1242 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 1: publicly acknowledges one's confession of faith and belief in the 1243 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 1: Gospel message. It also symbolizes the sinner's entrance into the 1244 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,680 Speaker 1: community of believers. You think all of that changed because 1245 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 1: the priest said we and not I. Huh? When if 1246 00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 1: you ask me, I is the right thing to say? 1247 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,520 Speaker 1: Because like I said, I, as in you, Priest Andreas, 1248 00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 1: are the person doing the baptism and doing it in 1249 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 1: the name of God, Jesus and the Holy goalst. That 1250 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 1: sounds like the right thing to do to me. It's 1251 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,520 Speaker 1: like when you accept an award at an award show 1252 00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 1: for someone who is not there. You say, I accept 1253 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,560 Speaker 1: this award on their behalf. You could even say, we 1254 00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 1: accept this award on their behalf. You could even say, 1255 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 1: I accept this award in the name of God, in 1256 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost. All that is all good to me. 1257 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,440 Speaker 1: It's fine. The award will get to who it belongs to, 1258 00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 1: just like the meaning of being baptized will get to 1259 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 1: the person being baptized, regardless of if a priest miss 1260 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 1: is a word. We're in a teachable moments people, instead 1261 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,440 Speaker 1: of stepping down, Can this priest not talk about how 1262 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 1: he just made a mistake? Is this even considered a mistake? 1263 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 1: Is this something that even has to be acknowledged? Would 1264 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 1: anyone even notice if he didn't say anything? Like? What 1265 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 1: are we doing? Man? We are holding people to a 1266 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: standard of perfection that Jesus couldn't even reach. And this 1267 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 1: is why Jesus not coming back. It's why Jesus sends 1268 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 1: all your prayers to his fan folder. Why would he 1269 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 1: come back? Jesus is like, no, no, no, y'all holding 1270 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,160 Speaker 1: people to a standard of perfection that I'm not even 1271 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: familiar with. Okay, Jesus even thinks y'all taking this perfection 1272 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 1: of Christ thing way too far, and that is why 1273 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 1: God put it on my spirit to give priests Andreas 1274 00:59:54,600 --> 01:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Zarrango a holy he hat. This is ridiculous. I'm missing 1275 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,280 Speaker 1: a word. You know how many words I miss, how 1276 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 1: many words I mispronounced? But God knows my heart. You 1277 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 1: know my intention. You know what I'm trying to say. 1278 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 1: That's why even if I say something and I miss 1279 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,880 Speaker 1: a word or mispronounced it, you still feel it. You 1280 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,480 Speaker 1: still know what I was trying to say. You can 1281 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:24,800 Speaker 1: still respond because it's about intention. I don't know, I 1282 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 1: ain't know. God. Just don't call you a jerk. You 1283 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 1: know I'm call me God love me, he or she 1284 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: loved me?

That's a globe. Do you see me? That's 1287 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: a globe. Okay, but act like you know right? All right? Well, 1288 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 1: thank you for that dunk in to day? Yes, indeed, 1289 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,840 Speaker 1: a right, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, 1290 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Yeah, I gotta pack the kids lunch 1291 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 1: and snacks. And I've been packing donuts and uh popems, 1292 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 1: you know, fruit snacks and you know, ham and cheese 1293 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,480 Speaker 1: or salami and cheese sandwiches. And that's just because you're 1294 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,280 Speaker 1: a lazy ass dad who don't know how to cook. 1295 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:08,960 Speaker 1: That's all it is. If you knew how to cook, 1296 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 1: you'd be feeding your kids. Uh you know better, better 1297 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,200 Speaker 1: meals than that. And you want to run. You want 1298 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 1: to run just as much as your kids too. But 1299 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,880 Speaker 1: people were like, envy, where's the whe's the fruit with 1300 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,160 Speaker 1: the carriage with the vegetable? So I agree with them. 1301 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 1: This morning, you know, I went there and I got 1302 01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 1: some strawberries, I got some grapes, I got some of 1303 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 1: their favorite fruit, and I put it in their bags 1304 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,320 Speaker 1: as well. But on the way in, I was reading 1305 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,880 Speaker 1: this thing about fat kids, and I guess I can't 1306 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,880 Speaker 1: use fat man. Why do you who says you can't 1307 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,040 Speaker 1: use fat? All right? Well, children struggling with being fat 1308 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,479 Speaker 1: and obesity should be evaluated and treat worse than fat. 1309 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:44,040 Speaker 1: Obesity sounds crazy. I'd rather be fat than obese. They're 1310 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 1: saying the weight sounds dangerous. Soon as they tell you 1311 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 1: the playing over with, you don't want to get on it, right, 1312 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 1: You're right, okay, you right. So they're saying the practice 1313 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,120 Speaker 1: of watchful waiting. That's where you just you know, wait 1314 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,160 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, my kid is gonna outgrow it. That's it. 1315 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,680 Speaker 1: That doesn't usually happen. They said, if your kid is 1316 01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 1: as fat as a kid, they're gonna be fat as 1317 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 1: a team. So they're saying, fourteen point four million young 1318 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 1: people in the US are pretty big, and they said 1319 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 1: it leads to long health problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, 1320 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,200 Speaker 1: and depression. Well, we're not talking about poverty, you know. 1321 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,000 Speaker 1: Let me see the demographics of those kids. Let me 1322 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,800 Speaker 1: see the locations where those kids live at. And I 1323 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 1: bet you, I bet you that they live in food deserts. 1324 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,640 Speaker 1: And you know, there's plenty of studies that show, you know, 1325 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,880 Speaker 1: people who live in food deserts are at an elevated 1326 01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 1: risk for obesity. You know what I mean. If you 1327 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 1: got inadequate access to food, then you're more than likely 1328 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: gonna eat cheap, high calorie stuff. You're gonna eat snacks, 1329 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna eat all the fast foods. You're gonna eat 1330 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,560 Speaker 1: from the Chinese restaurant in the hood. You're gonna do 1331 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 1: that constantly, you know what I mean, And that will 1332 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,440 Speaker 1: lead to obesity when you're young. I think that the 1333 01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 1: reason a lot of those kids probably do grow out 1334 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 1: of it, you know, because hopefully as they get older, 1335 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 1: they're getting better financial situations and they pick up more 1336 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:54,120 Speaker 1: healthier habits. Some people majority don't end up in better 1337 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 1: financial situations, so they keep those same piss poor habits 1338 01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 1: with them throughout their whole life, you know what I mean, 1339 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,880 Speaker 1: and then they spend their whole life trying to survive 1340 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 1: off snats. But I do agree, I do agree that 1341 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 1: we have to attack this problem at a younger age 1342 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 1: because you teach habits right and one of those things. 1343 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 1: If you're teaching kids about eating right and exercising and 1344 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 1: working out, they're going to continue to do that when 1345 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 1: they get older, when their teens, and I think we 1346 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 1: have to create these habits and not just say you 1347 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,160 Speaker 1: know what, we'll see what happens. Or you know, a 1348 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 1: lot of times parents, even myself, we give our kids 1349 01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,120 Speaker 1: foods that are not bad because, like you said, where 1350 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,680 Speaker 1: we're running, we're doing this, we're doing that, but we 1351 01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 1: have to make sure we watch what our kids eat 1352 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,000 Speaker 1: as well. You're not wrong in me, but you're speaking 1353 01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,920 Speaker 1: from a place of of having something, you know what 1354 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,200 Speaker 1: I mean. You can't do any of that you just 1355 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,760 Speaker 1: said with no money. Like these folks are literally just 1356 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,440 Speaker 1: out here trying to survive. It's not even a thing 1357 01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 1: of them practicing bad habits because they want to. They're 1358 01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,400 Speaker 1: doing they're eating like this because they have to survive. 1359 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 1: Their literal foods. Had to access to good food, right, 1360 01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 1: but you know, or to go to whole foods and 1361 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,560 Speaker 1: buy the fresh fruits and vegetables and all that kind 1362 01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 1: of credit. As a kid, I didn't, you know, we 1363 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,080 Speaker 1: didn't have whole food and things like that, but my 1364 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,439 Speaker 1: mom made sure I didn't have McDonald's. Every day she cooked, 1365 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: whether it was we had some wild stuff. As a kid, 1366 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:08,720 Speaker 1: cook a lot. Well, we did have writing beans, but 1367 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 1: we had you know, of course you did. You know 1368 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 1: what forget it, get it princess right being hello, Hey, yeah, 1369 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:22,240 Speaker 1: y'a family matters, Good morning. I wasn't thinking of family 1370 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,000 Speaker 1: matter you talking about it anyway? The TV theme songs 1371 01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:28,440 Speaker 1: we play, yes, good morning, yeah, good morning to you all. 1372 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 1: So listen, guys, it's super multifacted it right. I think 1373 01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,600 Speaker 1: the best politically correct word will be overweight, just because 1374 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 1: people take side and run with it any other kind 1375 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 1: of way. So just stay overweight kids. That a man, 1376 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,920 Speaker 1: because you can flip overweight to your overweight as Oh man, 1377 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,520 Speaker 1: we've anna let every stay overweight kids. That just sounds different. 1378 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,040 Speaker 1: You've got too many simple minded people that's gonna go 1379 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 1: hard on him. You're right man to say overweight, right, 1380 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,000 Speaker 1: you're right. So listen in regards to what you was saying, 1381 01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,600 Speaker 1: we are depreciated, right. Um. In regards to community, we 1382 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 1: know that it's easier for some communities that have five 1383 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 1: dollars and get that little season pizza and know that 1384 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,160 Speaker 1: we'll have to not worry about tonight and we'll figure 1385 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 1: it out tomorrow. Right. And then we have the other 1386 01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 1: families who are letting their kids in and out the pantry. 1387 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,720 Speaker 1: We buy in everything ding dongs wing want gets ahoy 1388 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 1: everything right, and we're really not caring because we don't 1389 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,320 Speaker 1: want to hit them talk or whatever. The reason is. 1390 01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:27,400 Speaker 1: Maybe we didn't have healthy eating habits growing up. So 1391 01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to the surgery portion, now there is 1392 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 1: lap in, there is gastric keep, and then there's gastric 1393 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 1: five pass. Now that has to go with your PCP 1394 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 1: having history, bnobes having It's just a lot of different 1395 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 1: factors that go into that that are tied at a 1396 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 1: young age. We'll be able to have that, right. Can 1397 01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 1: I ask you something real quick, though, If you can't 1398 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 1: even afford healthy food, how are you going to afford surgery? 1399 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,920 Speaker 1: Medicare Medicare Medicare, we'll pay, We'll pay for that, right, 1400 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 1: No Medicaid part of me. Medicare is for older so 1401 01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,680 Speaker 1: Medicaid bill pay for that. Giving your doctor as saying 1402 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:10,000 Speaker 1: this person needs that, this is medically necessary, they will 1403 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 1: be able to get in one hundred percent paid for. 1404 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,360 Speaker 1: If you're a worker and you have insurance, you're insurance 1405 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,840 Speaker 1: will pay for it. You pay your deductible out of pocket. 1406 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: If you out here and you got money, you can 1407 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,000 Speaker 1: pay for whatever you want. You can get your kids 1408 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,240 Speaker 1: to get whatever they want at whatever age, when you 1409 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,600 Speaker 1: got whatever type of farms. Are we clear? Yes, But 1410 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,960 Speaker 1: that's the problem most of us don't. Like we're talking 1411 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:34,720 Speaker 1: like the majority of people out here aren't financially struggling, struggling, 1412 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: and that surgery to me sounds like a temporary solution 1413 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 1: to a permanent problem. With those pills. You have to 1414 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 1: go give these communities the resources they need to not 1415 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 1: just survive, but to thrive. You're getting surgery for a 1416 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:50,120 Speaker 1: kid at six and then they still can't afford proper food. 1417 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,920 Speaker 1: And we just talk about earlier. When you get these surgeries, 1418 01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:54,840 Speaker 1: you gotta work out and it right. How can you 1419 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,880 Speaker 1: do that if you in a impoverished neighborhood. But we'll 1420 01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,520 Speaker 1: take your call some more eight hundred five five five one. 1421 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,840 Speaker 1: But I agree with you. I think those the medication 1422 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 1: and those surgeries are temporary fixes because you don't want 1423 01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 1: your child on, you know, on pills for the rest 1424 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 1: of their life. To just stay a little bit, you know. 1425 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 1: Then let's talk about it when we come back. It's 1426 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,960 Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, e n G. Charlemagne, the 1427 01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,720 Speaker 1: guy we are the Breakfast Club, naptew just joining us. 1428 01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,040 Speaker 1: We were talking about a new study that came out 1429 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:26,000 Speaker 1: and they were saying children struggling struggling with obesity should 1430 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,920 Speaker 1: be evaluated and treated early and aggressively, including medications for 1431 01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,560 Speaker 1: kid as young at twelve and surgery for those that 1432 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 1: are thirteen. They're saying the old practice of watching, watchful 1433 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,880 Speaker 1: waiting or delaying treatment to see if the kids outgrow 1434 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 1: it is stupid and don't do it. They're saying fourteen 1435 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 1: point four million young people in the US are left untreated, 1436 01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 1: and obesity can cause health problems high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, 1437 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,760 Speaker 1: and security. I hate how that study is not talking 1438 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 1: about poverty. I hate how that study is not talking 1439 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,480 Speaker 1: about you know, food deserts, you know. I hate how 1440 01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,040 Speaker 1: that study is not talking about individuals who love living 1441 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 1: food deserts are had an elevated risk for obesity. I 1442 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 1: hate that that study isn't talking about how inadequate access 1443 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,080 Speaker 1: to food, you know, is gonna lead, you know, to 1444 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 1: obesity because folks gonna eat cheap, high calorie stuff. You 1445 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,120 Speaker 1: know how fast food restaurant's got better deals in the 1446 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: healthy places. You can peach six people with five dollars 1447 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,840 Speaker 1: that most of these damned fast food places. But you know, 1448 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 1: an apple, apple casts six dollars one apple. Yeah, now 1449 01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:23,519 Speaker 1: you're right.

It's a restaurant 1451 01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,320 Speaker 1: that's in the New York area. They branching and I 1452 01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 1: went there the other day and I bought a fruit bowl, 1453 01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,200 Speaker 1: a big size fruit bowl, and it was it was 1454 01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 1: five dollars, and I was surprised. I'm like it's really 1455 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:36,120 Speaker 1: five dollars and they had you know, I had a 1456 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 1: granola had all the food in it. So let me 1457 01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 1: let me it's fittian, fittitian shout out to them. All right, 1458 01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 1: let me let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's 1459 01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,920 Speaker 1: this hey going around the store to how you guys 1460 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:54,040 Speaker 1: doing this morning? I'm doing well? How are you guys? 1461 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:56,519 Speaker 1: Blessed Black and Holly Favor? What's your what's your opinion? 1462 01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,360 Speaker 1: What's your thoughts? Mama? So my thought is, especially from 1463 01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:03,840 Speaker 1: a medical perspective. I'm a medical professional of working cardiology. UM, 1464 01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 1: I definitely think we should allow these kids to have 1465 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,800 Speaker 1: access to weight loss medication. One thing you mentioned was 1466 01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 1: something about lifeul suction. That's not the that's not what 1467 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 1: they said. That says the kids can have weight loss 1468 01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 1: surgery such as bypass, gaster bypass or sleeve something like 1469 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 1: that to help them lose the way. But we do 1470 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 1: know that we see down the line of these kids 1471 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,400 Speaker 1: end up with heart disease and other problems. And you'll 1472 01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:29,000 Speaker 1: be surprised, or maybe you won't be surprised, but I 1473 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,840 Speaker 1: used to do football physicals. You'll be surprised when they 1474 01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:35,559 Speaker 1: those guys come in young kids only thirteen years old, 1475 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:39,160 Speaker 1: what high blood pressure already you know, and want to 1476 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,839 Speaker 1: play football. And so then we talk about things happening 1477 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,960 Speaker 1: like you know, collapsing on the field, right um and 1478 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,960 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So um, definitely I think we should, 1479 01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 1: you know, give these kids a shot at, you know, 1480 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 1: having a healthier weight and living a healthier life. And 1481 01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,800 Speaker 1: I agree with you, M. Charlemagne on the you know, 1482 01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 1: making access to healthier food. And you know, right now, 1483 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 1: the food prices are incredible, you know, ropery store prices 1484 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 1: are crazy, and that is definitely your problem. But also 1485 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:12,200 Speaker 1: it is that our kids just don't exercise and you know, 1486 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:13,760 Speaker 1: do the things that they used to do. We used 1487 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:15,840 Speaker 1: to play outside, you know, down the kids are in 1488 01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:17,880 Speaker 1: front of the TV all day or playing video games 1489 01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,960 Speaker 1: all day, right, that is true, I think, I think, 1490 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of the lack of physical activity, 1491 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:26,200 Speaker 1: but more importantly, man, the poverty, the food desert these 1492 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:27,960 Speaker 1: folks live in. Man Like, when you live in these 1493 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,400 Speaker 1: food deserts, you don't have access to good, high chuality food. 1494 01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,519 Speaker 1: You're gonna eat cheap, high calorie stuff. But even as parents, 1495 01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:36,360 Speaker 1: even if if that is the case, we have to 1496 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,519 Speaker 1: get our kids out more. And I know a lot 1497 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,679 Speaker 1: of times it's easy to you know, to have our 1498 01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, I phones and iPads and video games and 1499 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,439 Speaker 1: TV babysit our kids. But we have to get back 1500 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,559 Speaker 1: out there with those kids. Make them go play basketball, 1501 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,000 Speaker 1: make them go jump rope and make them dance, make 1502 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,439 Speaker 1: them go to chair. There's so many free events and 1503 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,520 Speaker 1: free activities that these kids could do that keep them exercising. 1504 01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,000 Speaker 1: This week. Like I said, my wife is away and 1505 01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,639 Speaker 1: my kids have so many damn activities, and I would 1506 01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 1: be mad at my wife, like couldn't this gracious? But 1507 01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:06,240 Speaker 1: now I get it. I understand it. They're out and 1508 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,559 Speaker 1: about the exercise and they're running around and they're doing 1509 01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 1: a lot. Well, I'll tell you this, and I agree 1510 01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:14,040 Speaker 1: with you, and I'm not making excuses, but man, do 1511 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 1: you feel safe just letting your kids go out?

Man, We used 1514 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:24,280 Speaker 1: to be out all day, no cell phones, on the bikes, 1515 01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,679 Speaker 1: from dirt road to dirt road, running through cornfields, running 1516 01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,080 Speaker 1: through the woods. Parents knew what we were at our 1517 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,200 Speaker 1: guess they knew we were around, but nowadays, I would 1518 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 1: never feel comfortable. Yeah right, just letting my kids just 1519 01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,880 Speaker 1: go wrong for a few hours by theirselfs Hell no, yeah, 1520 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:44,160 Speaker 1: I guess right. Hello, who's this Leo? Leo? Good morning thoughts, brom. 1521 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,160 Speaker 1: I basically think that it all starts with the parents. 1522 01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,360 Speaker 1: We need to encourage more healthy or eating habits, you know, 1523 01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,759 Speaker 1: so that our kids follow through my parents. My family 1524 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,280 Speaker 1: has a history of work, very overweight, and I've done 1525 01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,600 Speaker 1: a lot of things to get a healthy weed. And 1526 01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,679 Speaker 1: I'm trying to encourage my daughter now he's about four, 1527 01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:07,200 Speaker 1: to start eating you know, pretty good. And like that, man, 1528 01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,200 Speaker 1: all they're almost been doing great in life. Because even 1529 01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,760 Speaker 1: if it starts with the parents, which is true, the 1530 01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 1: parents poor too, like like like poverty. Poverty is just 1531 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,759 Speaker 1: as generational. It's poor eating habits because if the parents 1532 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,719 Speaker 1: couldn't afford to eat, well, you think they can afford 1533 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,880 Speaker 1: to feed their kids, well, come on, man, Like I 1534 01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:28,880 Speaker 1: don't know, man, I just feel like poverty is the 1535 01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:30,559 Speaker 1: root of the issue, man, because you know, a lot 1536 01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:32,600 Speaker 1: of these people that we're talking about, they live in 1537 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:34,920 Speaker 1: food deserts. And everybody knows that if you live in 1538 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,719 Speaker 1: a food desert, you're at an elevated risk for obesity 1539 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 1: because you don't have, you know, adequate access to good 1540 01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,960 Speaker 1: food to you eating all the cheap, high calorie nonsense. 1541 01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:50,920 Speaker 1: All right, well, it's the Breakfast Club.
