Speaker 1: is your stance? Which? What? What do you? Where? Are
Speaker 1: you covering it me from today? You know your girl,
Speaker 1: it's one of these nocturnal birds, baby boy out there.
Speaker 1: We did a night owl, you know, a bird out
Speaker 1: here in a night time. My mom called me a
Speaker 1: night owl. She told me when I was shous just
Speaker 1: be like I always missed like a bunch of the
Speaker 1: Saturday morning cartoons because my brother would be up at
Speaker 1: like eight like on it, and I'm like waking up
Speaker 1: at eleven and going like, are there any left? Then?
Speaker 1: I missed along? Yes, yes I did. I Are there
Speaker 1: any left? Is there any animated series for your girl
Speaker 1: to watch? Yeah? Because my mom told me i was
Speaker 1: nine years old that I need to have a job
Speaker 1: where I worked at night because I was never I've
Speaker 1: never been a morning person. I've never been a daytime person.
Speaker 1: Like I was working on a project and I tried
Speaker 1: to do it at like three pm, and I just
Speaker 1: couldn't get at like, Okay, it's eleven, I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: doing this. I started that at eleven pm on Sunday,
Speaker 1: twelve pm twelve am on Sunday ended it like six am,
Speaker 1: which is later than I wanted to do it, but
Speaker 1: like that's what my brain to be like popping. So
Speaker 1: the times that my brain I think works the best
Speaker 1: is the nighttime. The night time is the right time
Speaker 1: baby anyway. Um so yeah, I'm a night our. I'm
Speaker 1: not hearing the screets like I don't ever want to
Speaker 1: wake up. Like like my last day job, I had
Speaker 1: to be at work at my desk sitting down at
Speaker 1: seven am to sell stucco in two languages every day
Speaker 1: was hard because if I'm if I see seven am,
Speaker 1: I want to be going to bed. I don't ever
Speaker 1: need to be anywhere at eight o'clock in the morning. Never, never, never.
Speaker 1: I'm a smooth like let me wake up at ten
Speaker 1: waking I get you nine thirty, But waking up at
Speaker 1: photo in the morning, I'm like, bro, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't like it because you strike me as you know,
Speaker 1: the early bird get the worm type nigga Like it's
Speaker 1: um okay, So look, I've been known throughout my life
Speaker 1: to have the night our five, so I can't act
Speaker 1: like I always walked after the straightened arrow. But an
Speaker 1: early bird lifestyle, that's all I'm saying. Early bird lifestyle
Speaker 1: is better. What's an early bird lifestyle When you wake
Speaker 1: up at those early hours and you get you get
Speaker 1: your food in, you have your breakfast, you work out.
Speaker 1: That's the billionaire millionaire type lifestyle right there, where you
Speaker 1: just you just have so much done while other people
Speaker 1: are still waking up. It's hard to be like, I've
Speaker 1: lived night out right, So I've had to work nights before.
Speaker 1: So when I worked at UM trigger Joe's did I
Speaker 1: did both at certain points. So there was one point
Speaker 1: where I was a full on like nights. I only
Speaker 1: did nights, and it would be I would show up
Speaker 1: to work at six pm and I would get off
Speaker 1: my shift at one am. Like that's how you know
Speaker 1: nights we're talking, okay, And so I've had that thing.
Speaker 1: But that also had the thing doing comedy this whole time,
Speaker 1: by the way, So then I've had that thing where
Speaker 1: I was like six to one, So obviously I didn't
Speaker 1: do shows those nights. Yeah, but then you try to
Speaker 1: write jokes and stuff during the day, so at least
Speaker 1: you made something of your day. Comedy wise, and then
Speaker 1: I've had the thing of of early mornings. Like I remember,
Speaker 1: I used to do four am s so I would
Speaker 1: do four am, too new and that was really hard.
Speaker 1: That was like, that was some of the hardest. That's
Speaker 1: not even I don't even because it's because I had
Speaker 1: a friend who had a shift like that, and you
Speaker 1: can't do it's horrible. You can't do anything. You gotta
Speaker 1: go to bed at like yeah. So then I was
Speaker 1: doing shows at night, and then I had to, you know,
Speaker 1: get up and go do the four am, right. And
Speaker 1: the thing that ends up happening with that is that
Speaker 1: if I had a show night before, I was ruining.
Speaker 1: But on those rare nights where I didn't never show,
Speaker 1: I wrote jokes that day. So I was letting myself
Speaker 1: off a look, and I went to bed at like
Speaker 1: even just ten. Even if I went to bed at ten,
Speaker 1: was still too late for a four inship going to
Speaker 1: bed ten starting my day, getting going to work it
Speaker 1: for you and being done by new. So I've made
Speaker 1: all the money I need to make by news, and
Speaker 1: now the rest of the day is grave. Because let's
Speaker 1: say I hadn't early shipped at the next day off,
Speaker 1: I was living. It felt like I had two days
Speaker 1: off because if I don't have to worry about going
Speaker 1: to bed early again, starting my day off early was
Speaker 1: probably one of the best it's I came and compared,
Speaker 1: Like when you compare the two to productivity, there's like
Speaker 1: no comparison almost right, But if you think about it,
Speaker 1: there's only so many hours. There's only twenty four hours
Speaker 1: in a day, right, yeah, yeah, no matter where are you?
Speaker 1: Because like I had a job where I was um
Speaker 1: cleaning up medical records, like basically like you basically editing
Speaker 1: and fixing, fixing medical records for from that county. I like,
Speaker 1: how for a second it sounds like you were forging
Speaker 1: medical records because you're like, you know, I used to
Speaker 1: clean up medical records. You know, somebody meet their insurance
Speaker 1: to act, right I would. Now, I can't say I
Speaker 1: haven't had a job where somebody used to come in
Speaker 1: with pay stups. I'm not gonna say that job. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say that I didn't work on a car lot.
Speaker 1: And for people who like, like you say you work
Speaker 1: at like a as a barber or like a hairdresser,
Speaker 1: you don't get a regular paycheck. So if you're trying
Speaker 1: to get an auto loan you have, it's very hard
Speaker 1: to prove your income, right, So we had a guy,
Speaker 1: So my boss had a guy he would call and
Speaker 1: that guy would create pay stups. He's like, okay, so
Speaker 1: how much are you saying? How much you our? How
Speaker 1: you have the watermark whole nine? So, I mean it
Speaker 1: was very good at it because and I was like,
Speaker 1: y'alls had another job and I was just like wait, wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: are you're doing this and crime? Yeah? I was like
Speaker 1: he worked in I think the other job he had
Speaker 1: like he was like working for like Comcast or some ship.
Speaker 1: And I was like, honestly, Comcast is trash. Like I
Speaker 1: really hope that that forgery business really picked up. But yeah,
Speaker 1: when you were doing crime and you need a side
Speaker 1: hustle that's legitimate, you might as well not do that crime,
Speaker 1: right Or is the crime supplementing? Like I used to
Speaker 1: date this guy who saw weed, but he also worked
Speaker 1: in and worked Like I just about to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you if you sell any sort of drugs and
Speaker 1: you still have to worry about being late anywhere, yeah
Speaker 1: you need to pick another lifestyle. Like you're clearly not
Speaker 1: good at selling drugs, which is don't have the clientele.
Speaker 1: It's the thing you need to leave behind. Anyway I'm
Speaker 1: saying is I had a job, so I worked when
Speaker 1: I worked for Winette County, I worked three to eleven.
Speaker 1: It was the worst shift. I can start doing stand
Speaker 1: up yet, but they'd probably start doing stand up until
Speaker 1: like four years later. But three to eleven you can't
Speaker 1: do anything because like most of the restaurants this is
Speaker 1: like two thousand and five, two thousand six, Yeah, this
Speaker 1: thousand five, So most restaurants about eleven o'clock are closed,
Speaker 1: like sit down restaurants are closed. But you got to
Speaker 1: work too early to go get lunch with anybody. You
Speaker 1: can't really get it. So it's it was a sweet
Speaker 1: spot of not being able to do jack ship. And
Speaker 1: then you know, any of you meet somebody like you
Speaker 1: can never go on a date to like, oh it's
Speaker 1: on a date on Tuesday. I get off work at
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock at night. Can you get you go to movies?
Speaker 1: So I mean, if you work three even pretty much
Speaker 1: gotta get right to it, right, Like we don't have six.
Speaker 1: We either got to have extra times or we're gonna
Speaker 1: be on the phone. Because it was and the guy
Speaker 1: I was engaged to so many moons ago. He was
Speaker 1: my co worker at this fucking job. So he got
Speaker 1: he got it. I mean I didn't marry him, so
Speaker 1: he didn't get it. Get it. No, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: he got it as in he got your situation right.
Speaker 1: I had a moment when you mentioned diamonds where I
Speaker 1: realized that for early birds there's a type and a
Speaker 1: level a breakfast maybe even brunch. Early birds are getting
Speaker 1: the night owls will never know because they're asleep. You know.
Speaker 1: Breakfast places are like closer too, no no, no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: nine hours or a weight by brunch some SI. Now,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people like if you're working
Speaker 1: like the food industry and you're getting off at four
Speaker 1: in the morning, like I was working at a job
Speaker 1: where I was I was working at like a server
Speaker 1: at a pool hall. I've had a lot of job shot.
Speaker 1: Yeah you said it like you said pool hall, like
Speaker 1: you weren't sure if big play pool. Well I was
Speaker 1: trying to. No, I was trying to because there was
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other stuff in there. So it
Speaker 1: was also like video game like think of like a
Speaker 1: very low budget David Busters like we were getting paid,
Speaker 1: like you know, our servers are supposed to get paid
Speaker 1: a different minimum wage. We were getting paid regular minimum wage.
Speaker 1: And I think it's because they were letting people smoke
Speaker 1: inside and they and they weren't supposed to. And also
Speaker 1: they weren't like like calculating our tips. They weren't taking it.
Speaker 1: They weren't really they weren't really great at paying taxes. Uh,
Speaker 1: there was a shady as job. I ended up being
Speaker 1: like a I end up getting real sick because they
Speaker 1: were smoking inside without the proper find lynship. But you know,
Speaker 1: being a server, you're getting off three or four in
Speaker 1: the morning. A lot of times you don't go to
Speaker 1: bed until six or seven. You're not going to bed
Speaker 1: till seven in the morning. So if you're going to
Speaker 1: bed at seven in the morning, yeah, you're gonna miss brunch.
Speaker 1: But if you're a night owl, because like I worked
Speaker 1: day jobs the whole time, and there was still a
Speaker 1: night owl. So I was still going to bed at
Speaker 1: like like I just go to bed at one, Like
Speaker 1: even during lockdown, I was still going to bed at
Speaker 1: two in the morning. Yeah, because like I tried to
Speaker 1: go to bed at eleven. I tried. But you're going
Speaker 1: about at eleven, you wake up at like seven and
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. Yeah, the funk? Am I wait
Speaker 1: for it? There's nothing going on because it's like, if
Speaker 1: you go about at eleven and you wake up at
Speaker 1: seven and you're working from home, you didn't have a
Speaker 1: place to go in the first place. Okay, but hear
Speaker 1: me out here, this is this is where I feel
Speaker 1: like we're gonna we're gonna finally really clashed. So the
Speaker 1: thing with way picking up at those times, it's not
Speaker 1: about stuff going on. It's about you going on. It's
Speaker 1: about you getting up, getting the stuff checked off your list.
Speaker 1: That's just all you. You never wonder who that person
Speaker 1: is where you start your day, Where do you start
Speaker 1: your day at nine, ten whenever, and there's already an
Speaker 1: email in your inbox. That's that's an early bird. That's
Speaker 1: somebody who's like, let me go ahead and set the
Speaker 1: world in motion, all right. Early birds have some options
Speaker 1: that I just personally don't feel like I had when
Speaker 1: I was like a full long night ow like what
Speaker 1: like one big real study about this. You have more
Speaker 1: uh willpower and bear decision making in the earlier part
Speaker 1: of the day after you've already been up for quite
Speaker 1: a while. It starts to diminiage where you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess I could do that, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I probably just won't know. I mean, that's a late
Speaker 1: in the day decision. And what happens with a lot
Speaker 1: of night owls is that some night our was very
Speaker 1: responsible with their sleepies, or that the most aren't. Most
Speaker 1: of like I'm gonna wake up it in a while hour,
Speaker 1: I'm stay up all night because that's why I get
Speaker 1: stuck done. So I get that I've been that person,
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you what, early birds there's just a
Speaker 1: different way that they move. It's just a bit more
Speaker 1: productive to it that I kind of feel like this
Speaker 1: is propaganda only because only because it's like one thing
Speaker 1: that people love to do is they feel like, oh,
Speaker 1: the only reason I'm not a millionaire is because because
Speaker 1: like that's why people have the whole classes on, like
Speaker 1: people get rich telling you how to get rich. Ye,
Speaker 1: So I think this early bird propaganda came from the
Speaker 1: fact that we are We started as I mean, it's
Speaker 1: most of the world did as an agricultural society. Because
Speaker 1: what school was based off of that was all that
Speaker 1: you need your children to help you harvest. But now
Speaker 1: we've got big as cities. The kids need to be
Speaker 1: at school one, two because there's so many there's only
Speaker 1: so many hours in a day, right, because I've gotten
Speaker 1: up at seven am and thought it was gonna be
Speaker 1: productive and guess what, I just laid there and didn't
Speaker 1: do ship till ten am. Anyway, But it's not about
Speaker 1: forcing yourself, that's the thing it's not. It's not about
Speaker 1: putting yourself through hell. I think that's what a lot
Speaker 1: of the scam artists are teaching. They're being like you
Speaker 1: sound of grind, and as you grind, you'll feel yourself grinding.
Speaker 1: And then when you're all ground up and gonna turn
Speaker 1: into money, and then it's gonna be pinnis everywhere and
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be looking at the money dropped it up
Speaker 1: out of your pockets because it's overflowing because you've been
Speaker 1: grinding too. Like that thing is insane. Yes, so those
Speaker 1: people say I'm saying, I'm only talking about people who
Speaker 1: are legitimately this way. I know people who legitimately they're
Speaker 1: biologed withal crop wasts them up. But about seven and
Speaker 1: then they're up, they can't they can't go back to sleep,
Speaker 1: and they get very tired around the level. They get
Speaker 1: very tired around ten, like they would because they make
Speaker 1: up at seven am. So I'm talking about people who
Speaker 1: are naturally like that. I'm not. I'm not telling people
Speaker 1: to do this thing. I wish I was. I've been
Speaker 1: making more money in my life if I stopped doing copy.
Speaker 1: I was like, why can't you just grind? All right?
Speaker 1: Why can't you just wake up? Thank guys, Monday, have
Speaker 1: an extra Monday. Make every day Monday, all right? Just
Speaker 1: put seven Mondays in your calendar. You can work your
Speaker 1: ass all hard. And where you love Monday so much?
Speaker 1: You married Monday, all right, and so then you just
Speaker 1: banging Monday. You're a bunch of Monday babies. That's all
Speaker 1: you do. You wake up, it's Monday, all right. You know,
Speaker 1: people who don't like Monday gets what they are mundane? Okay?
Speaker 1: You know like where they're like when they try to
Speaker 1: drop knowledge on you, and it's like that ribs or
Speaker 1: I think that's like word play. Like I can just
Speaker 1: see the person sitting in the like just this person
Speaker 1: sitting there just taking so many notes, taking so many notes.
Speaker 1: It was like, okay, marry Monday, Monday, Monday, and the
Speaker 1: loans will have to leave me alone, girl, girl. People
Speaker 1: should be shot by firing squaiet. So those people should
Speaker 1: be shot with the broken dreams and promises they have
Speaker 1: sold people, not just like load them into a bullett.
Speaker 1: People writing on a piece of paper. They take that paper,
Speaker 1: they burn it. They take those ashes and put them
Speaker 1: in a bullet and then shoot these motherfucker's because these
Speaker 1: are the worst humans, because they are literally feeding off
Speaker 1: of people's dreams. And ask you, though, why do you
Speaker 1: hate hustling? Why do you hate why do you hate
Speaker 1: the hustle? All right, why do you hate? I can't
Speaker 1: hate the hustle. I can't. I have seven jobs. I
Speaker 1: saw what the hustle is. Hustle to you can't breathe.
Speaker 1: And when you start trying to breathe, you gotta be
Speaker 1: like stop trying to breathe, but you have to breathe
Speaker 1: to live, John, stop you No, no, no, that's what
Speaker 1: the weak telling. They tell you need your air, they
Speaker 1: tell you need water, if they tell you need shelter,
Speaker 1: they tell you need substance. That's just a quitter's mentality.
Speaker 1: All right, wait wait wait wait, wait wait wait wait okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so you out here, you know what you gotta call
Speaker 1: everyday Monday, because if you think of all the day's individually,
Speaker 1: that's a week. And you're not weak. Okay, you're not weak.
Speaker 1: You're not weak. You're the one. So you get one day, Monday, Monday.
Speaker 1: Where is our book? Josh? I know right that it
Speaker 1: would be hilarious if we stopped doing common. It's just us.
Speaker 1: It's just us, back to back, all the shirt on
Speaker 1: the book, back to back, just like switching sides every
Speaker 1: now and again, and it's just hustle, harbor all right,
Speaker 1: grind time. Okay, Shoot, that's why y'all hate waking up early,
Speaker 1: because y'all hate waking up. Y'all hate the sun. Y'all
Speaker 1: hate the shining light that lights the day that you
Speaker 1: need to grind under. Okay, you want to hit snooze
Speaker 1: because you were a snoozer because you were a loser.
Speaker 1: Just anything that rimes will always awful. And then they
Speaker 1: get that Christian Now music under it. They get that
Speaker 1: like I would to fight those dudes. I would have
Speaker 1: fight those dudes because they're worse than the people that
Speaker 1: they like to say he should known me. Are all
Speaker 1: those other bullshit things. Remember, every couple of years, a
Speaker 1: new pyramid scheme would come out, like the bit you
Speaker 1: would sell them leggings, Like every couple of years, pramad
Speaker 1: schemes come out, or right, or or the girls trying
Speaker 1: to sell the machine with the blood a little one
Speaker 1: drop of blood whole the halls was out here. First
Speaker 1: of all, she's say her too hard, all right, like
Speaker 1: she said she think I never but like just watching
Speaker 1: stuff like that like I because everyone's like you have
Speaker 1: to watch, you have to watch this amazing. Was like, no,
Speaker 1: because it's gonna make me mad because I know we
Speaker 1: no one who's not a white person could have scanned
Speaker 1: these people like this. You see what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: was talking to this man on bumble, cute middle Eastern dude,
Speaker 1: a little older, very much as that situation. He was
Speaker 1: talking to me on the phone one night, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: why are you talking so quiet? And he's like, well,
Speaker 1: he's like, well listen. He's like I want you to.
Speaker 1: He's like look up something, and I was like what
Speaker 1: he was like, just full disclosure, hold on, full disclosure.
Speaker 1: He's a full disclosure. I'm gonna send you. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: text you. Um because he called me and the name
Speaker 1: that came up, what's a woman's name? And I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people are on family plans, right, but
Speaker 1: also you know who are on a family plan with
Speaker 1: your wife? So I was like, okay, who is this
Speaker 1: woman's name? First of all, just because I had nothing
Speaker 1: better to do, could I have stopped talking to him, yes,
Speaker 1: but why I was just out here just for general investigation.
Speaker 1: I was like, who is this woman's name? You're going
Speaker 1: me from your mother? And he was like yes. I
Speaker 1: was like okay. He was like so he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: just full discloseresal. The second time we talked, it's a
Speaker 1: full disclosure. He's like, I want to text you this website.
Speaker 1: I opened up the link to lay website and it
Speaker 1: is an article from a New Jersey newspaper about three
Speaker 1: people who got arrested for a PONSI skate true millions
Speaker 1: of dollars PONSI skiing. And he's like the reason. He's
Speaker 1: like yeah, And I was like so he's like, so
Speaker 1: I'm talking all quiet because I'm I'm not supposed to
Speaker 1: have a cell phone because I'm in a halfway house
Speaker 1: and I was like, what that's so this is the thing. Okay.
Speaker 1: One things that I love on top of dudes because
Speaker 1: I actually do as much as they annormal. I do
Speaker 1: love those grind time dudes just because the whole thing
Speaker 1: is very funny. Like if you if they're taking advantage
Speaker 1: of people, they're worse. No, but if you're watching it
Speaker 1: and you're not tricked by it, the whole speech becomes
Speaker 1: very funny. The speech is funny, but yeah, it's very
Speaker 1: funny if you're a person who was successful but they're
Speaker 1: taking it ready. But I will say second to them,
Speaker 1: are guys like this? That cracked me up because it
Speaker 1: will be like, where we trying to date someone, the
Speaker 1: person will ask them a very normal question right at
Speaker 1: this guy that you're talking about with more upfront with
Speaker 1: you then most guys because normally if you ask it,
Speaker 1: like hey, why are you being so quiet? Like you
Speaker 1: can't turn your ballume up? You can't just turn your
Speaker 1: ballume up on you, see you? Maybe right right when?
Speaker 1: I found that very funny, like they're like, hey, why
Speaker 1: do we always have to meet them up with? What
Speaker 1: you guys ask them any questions I'm very suspicious. It's
Speaker 1: like I'm listen, I'm thirty nine. I don't trust any
Speaker 1: of these fuckers, and I'm very suspicious. I ask a
Speaker 1: lot of questions. So when I'm out here being a
Speaker 1: night owl in these streets and I'm trying to meet me,
Speaker 1: some of these men'ses, they are very one. They're inventimidated
Speaker 1: by me as a human being, which I'm so glad.
Speaker 1: I saw this thing on Instagram one time and this
Speaker 1: woman said, I'm not intimidating, you're intimidated because if I
Speaker 1: think about the number of times like just because I'm
Speaker 1: a black person, I have been followed through a store, right,
Speaker 1: it wasn't because I was a fief. It was because
Speaker 1: you perceived you thought that I was a thief because
Speaker 1: I'm black. That had nothing to do with me. I'm
Speaker 1: not a fucking thief, but you followed me through this
Speaker 1: store because of your thoughts and feelings about how I look.
Speaker 1: People always talking about the angry black woman, but no
Speaker 1: one's asking why we're mad? Mhm? Why does why does
Speaker 1: black lady is upset? What happened? No one's asking that
Speaker 1: you just want to fucking villainized me. So because I
Speaker 1: feel like if someone asked, the answer would just be
Speaker 1: a history book falling out of the sky boom and
Speaker 1: like with just a cloud of smart like everything just
Speaker 1: here here the history of women, the history of black
Speaker 1: the history of black so is the history of people
Speaker 1: African decent, and then the history of a human being
Speaker 1: with two x chromosomes and titties. Combine those together, these
Speaker 1: fold them together like playing cards. So I'm fucking mad, bro.
Speaker 1: But in reference to the topic in hand, because we
Speaker 1: had a few tangents today, Um, what I do want
Speaker 1: to say is I think that we need both sets
Speaker 1: of humans. We need our early birds, we need our
Speaker 1: night owls, right, yeah, our early birds has given us function,
Speaker 1: but our night owls are giving us design and fun.
Speaker 1: You's know what I'm saying. Yeah, like function in flavor.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, function in flavor. You need both humans. But
Speaker 1: I think we kind of have to stop. It's all
Speaker 1: because of that fucking work ethic that Americans are like
Speaker 1: instilled with, like that old school just puritsan work ethic
Speaker 1: or its just like kill yourself, kill yourself. Why do
Speaker 1: you work? Why do you pay grinding? I'm surprised that
Speaker 1: you that you Hey, do you know, do you know
Speaker 1: what the work it work ethic? Do you know what
Speaker 1: the you know what the thick in ethic is for? Huh,
Speaker 1: it's forgetting that hard that that in movable forms. You
Speaker 1: just you just turned it up like just life buff
Speaker 1: and you're just starting it around, trying to get it
Speaker 1: as thick as possible so nothing could ever break you
Speaker 1: because you think you thick, right, So then you take
Speaker 1: that thickness and then life tries to be like, let
Speaker 1: me loose it ruck. That's not gonna happen life, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. I wake up, I wake
Speaker 1: up at four am. I work until twelve am. I
Speaker 1: take one break to bite a piece of a burger,
Speaker 1: and then I go back to work. I don't even
Speaker 1: mention that burger because nobody got time to eat. All right,
Speaker 1: remember that one time, don't you remember that one time
Speaker 1: Beyonce said she was so busy she forgot she didn't eat.
Speaker 1: You gotta be like that, You gotta forget. You just
Speaker 1: gotta waste away, okay, until everything's done. And then when
Speaker 1: everything's done, when your inbox is fully empty, you can
Speaker 1: look around and be like, yeah, but I mean nobody
Speaker 1: will be there because you'll be dead. You're talking to
Speaker 1: it like the either. But you well done so much
Speaker 1: stuff up, all that stuff you did. Nobody will be
Speaker 1: able to take that stuff away from stuff last forever.
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be called toxic motivation. We'll do
Speaker 1: toxic motivation every week. We'll do toxic motivation. I'll set
Speaker 1: people down. I'll let them know why their life is
Speaker 1: messed up, all right, why their relationships suck, why they suck. Okay,
Speaker 1: because all you need if you get a little bit,
Speaker 1: this is the thing. This is this is a problem
Speaker 1: with this generation of people, all right. Is that what
Speaker 1: what's now being called toxic motivation used to just be
Speaker 1: called tough love. Okay, all right, y'all. Remember tough love, y'all,
Speaker 1: remember what I will sit you down, be like, hey, bro,
Speaker 1: you suck, and then you just have to be like, damn,
Speaker 1: I sucked. And now nowadays, when you sit somebody down,
Speaker 1: like hey, I know you work in two jobs and
Speaker 1: you're under pay so you can pay off student loans,
Speaker 1: that you work real hard too, because you're trying to
Speaker 1: provide an opportunity for yourself. And now the system that
Speaker 1: you bought into is actually only undercutting you and pressing
Speaker 1: you down more to pressing you horribly, but also you suck.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We need more people to be doing that, actually need it. Like,
Speaker 1: all right, let me tell you something right now. You
Speaker 1: really want to be somebody who want to get somewhere
Speaker 1: by my book right now? Alright, it's an Amazon. Okay.
Speaker 1: The year the year that I was born, because the
Speaker 1: year that I was born, all right, because I was
Speaker 1: born and they said that I was premature, all right,
Speaker 1: I wasn't premature. I was just excited to get grinding. Currently.
Speaker 1: I was just early to grind. I wanted to be born.
Speaker 1: I was like, mom, I got this from here. Okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead, let me slip out too early by a
Speaker 1: doctor stand okay, go ahead and go ahead and push
Speaker 1: me out. Put me in the incubator. They said I'd
Speaker 1: be the incubator for a month. I was in an
Speaker 1: incubator for a week because I was too excited to
Speaker 1: get grinding. Okay, let me tell me about something about
Speaker 1: early birds. We get it in all right. We wake up,
Speaker 1: we wake up, we're upset that we fell asleep. Every
Speaker 1: day I wake up I'll punched myself in the face.
Speaker 1: Did you fal asleep? Why did you fall asleep? So
Speaker 1: all for for all you night hours out there? Okay,
Speaker 1: I know that you here, I know that you hear
Speaker 1: the propaganda, all right, the stigma against being out here
Speaker 1: grinding in a nighttime? Right now? Why those people are
Speaker 1: out there using up all that good sunlight? They are
Speaker 1: wasting this good moonlight. You understand the out there they've
Speaker 1: bending all day? Right like, you gotta be seven am?
Speaker 1: But what if? What if it's six am and I
Speaker 1: gotta go on the bed yet? You understand because I'm
Speaker 1: still working. Because they talk about the talk about the
Speaker 1: early bird in a night hour, but nobody told you
Speaker 1: you could be both. You could be both. Why are
Speaker 1: you going to sleep? What is wrong? Do you know?
Speaker 1: I've not been to sleep since the Clinton administration? Come on,
Speaker 1: that's why. That's why I owned seven yachts, and two
Speaker 1: of them I can park in another one. Come on, now,
Speaker 1: you gotta get out here. It's eight am somewhere all right?
Speaker 1: With your grass up? Okay? One am everywhere? All right?
Speaker 1: Think about to think about my favorite is that thing
Speaker 1: that they'll do when someone else? So like, let's say,
Speaker 1: two of them hype each other up one of them.
Speaker 1: They have about three things that they'll do, and you can,
Speaker 1: like if you go and go to any of their
Speaker 1: videos on YouTube right now, and you'll be able to
Speaker 1: hear what's say. They'll either you'll be talking, so I'm
Speaker 1: your height, I'm your hight right right, right right, and
Speaker 1: so you'll say something and then I'll act like I
Speaker 1: stubbed my toe. So you'll say something, but I'll be like,
Speaker 1: it's like church. Yeah, it's exactly like church. Because then
Speaker 1: then if you say something else and I really like,
Speaker 1: like if I'm almost jealous, I didn't think of that
Speaker 1: toxically positive thing and you say it, I'm like, mm,
Speaker 1: it's one am everywhere everywhere. Okay, why did you stop grinding?
Speaker 1: Nose grind stone? You should even have what you should
Speaker 1: be Michael Jackson. Out here, you ground so hard, your
Speaker 1: nose are so close to the grind throne. If you're
Speaker 1: out here looking like a mummy, you understand, you understand.
Speaker 1: There should be nothing here. A cartoon. You understand. I
Speaker 1: need you to look like an emoji. You ever seen
Speaker 1: you ever seen a nose on an emoji? No? Because
Speaker 1: they grind so hard because they on your phone seven,
Speaker 1: three or six. Do not stay with me, play with me.
Speaker 1: We are out here working. What are you doing? You're
Speaker 1: listen to a podcast right now? A podcast right now?
Speaker 1: Is this part of your grinding? Yes, because this is
Speaker 1: a motivational podcast. We're out You're giving you the tools
Speaker 1: all right now listen then listen you now listen to Josh.
Speaker 1: Josh didn't want to share this key knowledge with you
Speaker 1: right because Josh Josh thought you wasn't ready, but I
Speaker 1: knew it was ready. Because Josh Joss wanted you to
Speaker 1: be an incubaker a little longer. I wanted you to
Speaker 1: sit underneath him like the little chicken d's that you are.
Speaker 1: Wanted you to sit in his nest just a little
Speaker 1: bit more to suckle on the teeth of knowledge from him,
Speaker 1: just a little bit bored. But I believe in you.
Speaker 1: You understand I believe in you. So we gotta retreat
Speaker 1: coming up and dubai. Yeah, oh god, because there's always
Speaker 1: a retreat somewhere that only they can afford. There's yeah,
Speaker 1: there's always You're always gonna fucking bally yeah, because you
Speaker 1: think try extra right, boy has an extra diet for
Speaker 1: other things that I'll fer out there, which I feel
Speaker 1: like in this podcast are all the ones that we've
Speaker 1: done at big lease points. For my for my thing,
Speaker 1: you did do like a ten minute actor, which was
Speaker 1: much needed. Yeah. The other thing about earlier birds that
Speaker 1: will say that it is a benefit to them, it's
Speaker 1: that when they're done with work, when they put in
Speaker 1: their aid or so hours, there's still a whole day
Speaker 1: left to have. So even even with the night out,
Speaker 1: I get the night house canna be very productive. Especially
Speaker 1: for what we do. You need to be a night
Speaker 1: owl because if you have multiple spots, it's like you
Speaker 1: can't show up to the last spot ready to just
Speaker 1: but you could be a night owl. I'm a night
Speaker 1: owl who had day jobs. Night our I think just
Speaker 1: me to someone who's just up later at night, then
Speaker 1: someone who works in the day should probably be I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think that's fair right, because it's like
Speaker 1: a night I mean, I like the night our lifestyle
Speaker 1: because I'm somebody who I think maybe you have brought
Speaker 1: it up to me, or Derek brought it up to
Speaker 1: me where we're just like they were laughing at something
Speaker 1: that I said. Whether it's like somebody had asked me like, hey,
Speaker 1: are you going home? And I was like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: only person that lives in my house. M hmmm. So
Speaker 1: what do you mean is there's no one to go
Speaker 1: on too. So it's like a lot of times I'll
Speaker 1: be out because when I get home, I ain't nobody
Speaker 1: here but my furniture and my clothes. So like, I
Speaker 1: think that I would probably like be able to, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe retire a little bit from my night our lifestyle. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was some warm arms to come home too, m hm,
Speaker 1: as opposed to a pillow top mattress. So like love
Speaker 1: could have brought me home last night, but it didn't
Speaker 1: because love don't live here. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You catch on the song references don I did? I appreciate,
Speaker 1: But that's why I want erupt, because I was like,
Speaker 1: who knows when these are gonna be dumb? You know,
Speaker 1: you could have just kept going do do do do
Speaker 1: do do? Don only do enough to where we don't
Speaker 1: have to pay for it. I think I just have
Speaker 1: to prefer the night our lifestyle because I feel like
Speaker 1: that there are things that happen at night. Mhm. There's
Speaker 1: adventures you can get into at night that you cannot
Speaker 1: get into during the day. Yeah, it isn't necessarily trouble,
Speaker 1: but adventures like yeah, like wow, am I at? Am
Speaker 1: I at a party at a custom Moto body shop?
Speaker 1: Why am I in here? You know? Like, oh, are
Speaker 1: we in Korea town drinking illegally after hours and we
Speaker 1: can't talk loudly because the complis show up? Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ventures you can have. But what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do right now is we are gonna ask
Speaker 1: the listeners like friends tell us and this way. I
Speaker 1: don't think we were trying to like convince each other
Speaker 1: of the others. I think we were just presenting who
Speaker 1: we are as individuals. I'm very much a night time
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I'm a lady of the night
Speaker 1: because we all know what that means, bet, but I
Speaker 1: will say that I remember human being that has enjoyed
Speaker 1: when the moon and the stars are out more. Because
Speaker 1: like it's like, I'm a beach person. I'm a beach lady, right,
Speaker 1: I'm a summertime lady. But oh, should we do summer
Speaker 1: versus winter? Yeah, we should do that because I know
Speaker 1: what you're gonna pick. You're gonna lose, and I know
Speaker 1: you're gonna pick winter because I've never seen a short
Speaker 1: sleeve shirt. You're gonna you're always in a jacket. I
Speaker 1: know you'll be happening them long sleeve shirts in July.
Speaker 1: Are you starting episode bad not love stideing episode? Now?
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, like I feel like that because
Speaker 1: I want to listeners to tell us how you live
Speaker 1: your life. Are you somebody that wants to be cozy
Speaker 1: and rosy and your bed at eleven o'clock at night
Speaker 1: like a sucker? Or or look are you like me?
Speaker 1: And I'm full disclosure, I'm not fully an early bird yet,
Speaker 1: but I've been working towards that lifestyle because I like grind.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see the sun. I want to wake
Speaker 1: up before the sun. I want to wake up and
Speaker 1: go for a run, and then when I see the sun,
Speaker 1: I'm like you late, Okay, all right, That's that's what
Speaker 1: I need in my life, all right. I need the
Speaker 1: sun to be like damn, I'm slipping, Josh. I don't
Speaker 1: think lifestyle is doing to you, Josh. Lifestyle is making
Speaker 1: you somebody just gonna self publish a book. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1: to give you notes. You give yourself the note. You
Speaker 1: tell yourself, Hey, was that a good comma? Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a good calm. And I'm gonna put the city
