WEBVTT - Performance Anxiety

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Believe it or not, I used to suffer from performance anxiety.

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, believe it or not, sometimes I still suffer from

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 2>performance anxiety.

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 3>But what matters is how you overcome it.

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Dead Ass. Wow, it all started with real talk, unfiltered,

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>honest and straight from the heart. Since then, we've gone

0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>on to become Webby award winning podcasters in New York

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Times bestselling authors.

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Dead Ass was more than a podcast for us. It

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 2>was about our growth, a place where we could be vulnerable.

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Be raw, or but most apportly be us.

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 2>But as we know, life keeps evolving and so do we,

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.639
<v Speaker 2>and through it all, one thing has never changed.

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>This is.

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 3>Because we got a lot to talk about, all.

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, storytime, So I'm gonna tell y'all the moment I

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:53.599
<v Speaker 1>realized I had performance anxiety. And afterwards then we can

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>discuss how I was able to overcome it. But I'll

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>never forget this day.

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 3>The earliest moment.

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>This is the earliest moment that I remember, and I

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>remember I remember saying, like, what's going on? But it

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>was sophomore year of high school. I was playing playing

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>JV basketball. Was the first time I ever had a

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>chance to start. Freshman year, I played basketball in high school.

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I was on the bench the whole time. Mister Brown

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>was a basketball coach. He was like, you need to

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>learn how to play basketball, and he just like sit.

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sitting there watching, sitting there watching. Second year

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>comes in. It's coach Velasquez, right, and she's a brand

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 1>new coach. And I had gotten way better. I had

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>been practicing with my cousin Sean. I had been outside

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>in the park and I had At this time, there

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>was no performance classes, no speed agility classes. This is

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety nine, right, So now I'm getting ready to

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 1>go try out for the sophomore basketball team. Make the team.

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>They start doing everything. I'm a starter, I'm the starting

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>point guard. Then the first game is about to hit,

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>and up until that point, everything was fun, Everything was cool,

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>everything was good, like you know, everybody's oh yeah, we

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>about to be good. Da da da da da. Then

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>we go into the weight room before the game, we

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>all have our warm ups on coaches talking to all

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the starters, and I remember one of the young freshmen

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>was just like, Yode, I can't wait to watch you play,

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>like you're gonna be good. And it hit me in

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>that moment that everybody there was coming to watch you

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>me play. And then I went and sat on the bench.

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>My stomach got real queasy. I sat on the bench

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and I let my head rest back on the bench,

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>and then all I did was wake up. I fell asleep.

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Didn't realize that I had fell asleep. And then I

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>woke up, and I was like, and coach, just go,

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>let's go to Valaces go to Vale. And I was

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>only sleep for maybe like five minutes, but my central

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 1>nervous system felt real low, and when the game started,

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I was like like dragging like behind. And then midway

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.399
<v Speaker 1>through the second quarter, I sat down on the bench

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't know what was going on because everything

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>was like blurry and everything was kind of like happening,

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and everything seemed real loud, and I remember Coach Alaska

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>was like, yo, yo, wake up, are you okay? And

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I remember everything going like whoa, And I breathed, and

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I said breathe. I was sweating because and I wasn't

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>like playing. I was sweating, and I remember my body

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>got real cool, and I breathed and I went back

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>in the game, and then the rest was history. I

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>was able to like I breathed and I calmed my

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>central nervous system down and I played fine. I didn't

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>play as good as I wanted to the first game,

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>but then the second game, I knew that this was

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. So rather than go lay down on the bench,

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I sat up and I just kept breathing, and I

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>made sure that my body calmed down, and I played

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>well a second game. But that was the first time

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I realized that I had performance anxiety.

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Interesting when we come back, I'll tell you mine. Okay,

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>all right, time of karaoke.

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, karaoke, and we were trying to figure out what

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>we were going to sing. Yeah, but seeing this how

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.120

<v Speaker 1>her grandmother. I believe her mom. She was going through

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, she was grieving. But this was also a

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>moment where two people who she looked up to the most.

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.720

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.120

<v Speaker 2>girl trips.

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 7>I will say, little Mama has the confidence that I

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 7>wish I had. You know, if I had the confidence

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 7>little mamad that night, I could do anything. Literally, So

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 7>I like threads. I'll be on threads all the time.

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 7>And I saw a video somebody reposted of some guys

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 7>on a podcast, and the caption that they posted was,

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 7>twelve grades with the option for college ain't enough make

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 7>Mike's expensive. That's what they said, because at twelve age,

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 7>twelve grades, twelve grades with the option for college ain't

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 7>enough make Mike's expensive. That was the caption because in

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 7>the video there's a man saying, women say they're willing

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 7>to die for their kids.

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 8>They do anything for the kids, they're willing to die from.

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 7>But as soon as the baby daddy cheats, you leave

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 7>them and break up the family. How you gonna be

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 7>willing to die for your kids, Well, you won't make

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 7>that sacrifice.

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a hilarious correlation.

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 5>How did we get there? How did he arrive there?

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 8>I don't know.

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 7>You know, people post things out of context, but that

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 7>was the clip, that was all I saw.

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it's funny. I think he was I think

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>he was trying to be funny.

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 8>You think so he looked like he was dead serious.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Whether he was trying to be serious or not, it's

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>hilarious if you just think to the juxtaposition, right, I'm

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>willing to die for my kids, but I'm not gonna

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>stay with this nigga.

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's what he's saying, right right right.

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Think about it. It's hilarious. I give you really think God.

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Death anyway, so it kind of equates to the same

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>thing essentially.

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy.

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a funny comment. I think he's just

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:13.679
<v Speaker 1>trying to be funny.

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just funny, trying to have it land on the podcast.

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>So we have a conversation.

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 5>What's your take on it?

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 8>What's my take?

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 4>Well?

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 7>I wonder like how far are you willing to go? Like,

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 7>or how far do you expect your partner to go

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 7>for you? Like, when you get in a relationship with somebody,

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 7>do you really think like, oh, I can hurt them

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 7>one time and they'll forgive me because they really love me.

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 7>And if they don't forgive you, are you really gonna

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 7>be salty? Because I know some people who fucked up

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 7>in their marriage. They thought it was gonna be cool

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 7>and it wasn't cool, and they was salty for a

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 7>long long time. And I'm like, damn, I mean, you

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 7>probably shouldn't have fucked around and found that out right.

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 7>That's a crazy thing to find out, but I don't

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 7>know because I don't. I also don't necessarily think that

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 7>I've never been married, so maybe I would feel differently,

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 7>but I don't necessarily think infidelity is a deal breaker.

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 7>I'm a very like open person in my relationship. So

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 7>if you if we're dating and you want to date

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 7>other people, we can actually have that conversation. But if

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 7>I had kids, I don't think I would do anything

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 7>simply for my.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 8>Kids, especially if stay in a relationship.

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel you. I don't disagree with that. I think

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it's intent and impact, Like would you and you said

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get into this relationship and if I cheat

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>one time, she can't get mad. If that's your mindset,

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>then she should lead.

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 3>I was about to conceived into That's.

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>What it feels like. Your intent was to cheat. If

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't your intent, then the impact is different. You

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>see what I'm saying. The intent matters to people. If

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't your intent to hurt my feelings and have

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>me deal with it, we can work through it. But

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>if your intent was to hurt my feelings, and because

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, I should just deal with it because

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>it was only one time. No, I'm out of here.

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>You see what I'm saying. The intent and the impact

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>have to have some genuine or care for the other person.

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>If it doesn't, if it's so for seeing them out.

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>But his take on the fact that you said you're

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>willing to die for your kids, but you want to

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>deal with a nigga cheating is funny. It is like,

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>it is funny.

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 3>It is funny. It's pretty clever. Yeah, it's clever and

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 3>crazy at.

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 2>The same time, because it's really not willing. Brought that

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 2>up in an argument with a woman. I'm imagining what

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.079
<v Speaker 2>would that look like like real life scenario?

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Hilarious, you said you was willing to die for these

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>kids actually one time a bad mother. That's exactly what

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't it be.

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 7>And that's a real great way to gaslight somebody because

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 7>I feel like argument I would have to stop and

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 7>think about that first.

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's the greatest gas lighting I saw was on

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Yolan Yolanda van zand listen, listen, man I tried.

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 4>At all.

0:10:54.320 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>So Yolanda, Okay, a woman on there with two daughters

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and an ex husband, and Yana had this family on

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>there and the daughters were going to the mom and saying,

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>we're upset at you because you told us that our

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>dad sexually assaulted us and abused us, and it turns

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>out that he didn't. Why did you lie?

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 7>You know? What?

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Her respond was, he should have fought harder to tell y'all.

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 1>To t y is the biggest guess that I've ever

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>seen in my lif She's straight faced. You ain't fight

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>hard enough to tell him the truth? And excuse me,

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>she was like, if he really loved his daughters, he

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>would have felt harder to make sure they knew the truth.

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Didn't take no accountability that she held for years like

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>yes and girls like he didn't do it. He didn't

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 1>do it, Like why would you tell us that? And

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>she was like, he should have told you, he should

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>have worked.

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 8>That's dirty.

0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>People just be wrong and strong. I'm like, that's.

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 3>That's insanity.

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Her and him need to do a podcast together, that

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>lady and this dude.

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 7>That podcast idiots one mic.

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>That's that's a great that's why you.

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 5>Podcast exactly exactly.

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>That is catchy as hell too, and people would probably

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:24.079
<v Speaker 2>tune in just for the shenanigans.

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, it's entertainment. Absolutely, that's another thing I will say

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to the whole thing about attacking people who have a

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.679
<v Speaker 1>different opinion in you and saying they shouldn't have an

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 1>opinion is what's wrong with the world. Just because someone

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 1>is trying to be jestful or have a different opinion

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>or doesn't agree with your take doesn't mean they don't

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 1>have a right to talk, as long as they're not

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>being disrespectful or causing harm to people or trying to

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>cause violence to people. To let them people talk. We've

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>been letting people talk before podcasts, who I I personally

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>feel like some people shouldn't even be talking. We have presidence,

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. I worry about podcast people,

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 1>but we have a president right now who just says

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever he wants on any random day, disrespecting.

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 3>What every platform.

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you know what I'm saying, But we worried about

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>people with podcasts. Man, get out of here, Like, I

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>ain't even with that.

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Literally, you have a choice, yes, what you engage in.

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 7>And it does irk my nerves when people are like

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 7>when they hate post stuff like I hate this, let

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 7>me show you. Let me get more engagement off of

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.439
<v Speaker 7>it because I hated it so bad, Like just skipp.

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>It it like I never take any energy to like

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 2>repost something I hate.

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Or that is you know who's talking about that I hate?

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Who's who's Courtney Kemp. Jim made a post of how

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 1>she loves that people hate watch her shows, like when

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Power was on, people were saying, like, I hate this.

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>The writing is terrible, the acting is terrible. She says,

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.959
<v Speaker 1>she enjoys like go ahead and hate watch it because

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>it just runs the numbers up right. But it does

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 1>make you wonder, like why would you watch a show

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that you said you hate and then go online to

0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>comment and talk for hours? How to show that you

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 1>claim you hate? It makes no sense to me, it doesn't.

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 7>I guess you know, people are entertained by their own

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 7>like anger, or if they're just so disregulated that they

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 7>got to stay in a disregulated state, like they got

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.319
<v Speaker 7>to be mad all the time.

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 8>I don't know, I don't know.

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 7>Somebody said the other day, okay, here's another opera. Not

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 7>because somebody did say on threads the other day that

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 7>they're tired of hearing Uh people use the word whimsy.

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 7>Have y'all heard this whimsy? Yeah, you gotta be chronically

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 7>online to know. But people are using the word whimsy,

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 7>like you don't have any whimsy, you know. And somebody

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 7>was like, oh, I hate that. Give it up learning

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 7>new word. Y'all learn one word and you wear it out.

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 7>Notice how ain't nobody demurreor.

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Anymore like demure whimsy?

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Narcissistic delusional was the one diabolical?

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but look at us all enjoying something together.

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 8>That's my op.

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 7>Sometimes we gather around a word and we love to

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 7>use it together. We know what it means, we laugh together,

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 7>we can create jokes out of it, and we are

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 7>one people for just a small amount of time.

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I just think people just love to hate stuff.

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 5>Right like, and they find solidarity.

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>That's how cancel culture happened. Let's let's I hate that.

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 5>Let's cancel.

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>We get a bunch of ackle to agree that.

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 2>We all, for seventy two hours we hate this. Feel

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 2>in the cycle shifts to something else we hate.

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Because that's how you can collectively. Galvin, here's the truth.

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Those who can't do talk right. So social media has

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed all the people who can't do to talk. So

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>while people are going out there to try things and

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>try things, there's other people who are just talking negatively

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 1>about it. Because they can't do nothing that part. And

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I think more people need to realize what it is

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and use social media for what it's for, Like it's

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>not real life. Let people have their billion opinions. They

0:15:58.280 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>hate watch, They don't like this, they don't want to

0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>use the word.

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Is that driving up engagement? Are people actually watching her shows? Then?

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Great?

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, he's watching drives engagement said the same thing.

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 2>People hate Geneva, Yes, they hate Geneva, all the clips

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>to go about my facialist versions and all the things. Yes, yes,

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 2>hate watch Geneva, y'all please do I love it?

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Memory Games Michael Rainey Jr. Into his own spin off

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 1>that went for five seeds. They hated him on Power

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.600
<v Speaker 1>They talked so bad and all he did was get

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 1>a whole another.

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 4>Series and got another one.

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, he got another one from see.

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 5>This is and he does Wow, this is?

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 1>This is important?

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Right, that's great.

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>You know who hated their way into a multi billion

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 1>dollar generational family, The Kardashians. I heard so much talk

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>from people I hate the Kardashians, and they just kept

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 1>making more money, dripping more products, having more TV.

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 4>Shows for y'all stupid as telling us you hate it if.

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>You think about it, if you think about it, that

0:16:59.480 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>most of.

0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 5>The hate has funded their entire life.

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Jake Paul, Yeah, people hate watch his fights and he

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.160
<v Speaker 1>makes millions of dollars every time he gets on age.

0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to fight Floyd Mayweather. This with people, so

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not watching that ship. This ain't real boxing.

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 4>Meanwhile, Jake Paul breaks another record.

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>It's the truth both right, it's the truth.

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 3>It is good ship.

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.239
<v Speaker 4>If you hate, keep your opinion to yourself and your

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:24.679
<v Speaker 4>shut up.

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you the things that I hate because

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.679
<v Speaker 1>if I hate it, I don't watch it.

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's true.

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 7>And to me, I think this ties into what we're

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 7>talking about today performance anxiety, because I feel like when

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 7>you judge other people, and when you spend a lot

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 7>of time judging earth people or hate watching stuff, you

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 7>then start to develop like subconscious fear of doing.

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 3>I like that trip.

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.639
<v Speaker 1>I never thought about that, but I can see that though.

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because remember something because you think someone will do.

0:17:56.119 --> 0:18:00.919
<v Speaker 1>To you what them it's projections, Yes, this production, So

0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 1>you should ask yourself first, do you have anxiety because

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 1>you hate watch people and you get upset watch other

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>people try stuff that deep? As hell.

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:09.639
<v Speaker 3>That's interesting.

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you ever overcome your performance anxiety for we're trying.

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 3>To back to the story.

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what did you do? Repetition tactics? Repetition this I

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 1>know works for a fact, bro the thing that you're

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 1>worried about the most. Practice it until it becomes muscle memory,

0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>because then when you go out to try to do it,

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to think about doing it, so then

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 1>your anxiety shuts off because you've done it so many times.

0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Case in point. I used to hate having to be

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>at the free throw line and shoot free throws, and

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I hated open layups. I'd rather take a contested layer.

0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 1>This was in sophomore year. I'd rather take a contest

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:46.679
<v Speaker 1>layer because if I missed, then people will say, oh,

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 1>it was contested fast break, wide open layup. It's like

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 1>the worst thing, especially if I'm in the middle of

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the rim. You hate, yeah, you hate to have that

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.159
<v Speaker 1>moment where you missing and everybody's going, oh, So what

0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I did in practice when everybody was done, I used

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.880
<v Speaker 1>to go full court lay up right hand and left

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:03.760
<v Speaker 1>hand all the way down the back ten times, and

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 1>I had to do it until I made it like

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 1>consecutively and I did the same thing with free throws.

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I had to make ten free throws before I left

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the gym. And I did the same thing with football,

0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 1>with returning punts and catching passes. I always gave myself

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 1>a target and said, if I do this this many

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 1>times in a row, that means I was able to

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>do it under pressure. And then I got so used

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>to doing that that when I got into games and

0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I lined up right there, it was just like, I've

0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 1>done this before, and the fear never crept in about

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I might miss. My thought then became watch what they see,

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.920
<v Speaker 1>watch what they say when I make this. You know

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, And it was almost like it changed

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:39.440
<v Speaker 1>my thought process. I've been this. I've done the same

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.680
<v Speaker 1>thing with Jackson. We talked about this on the bike

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>episode with Kaz. Rather than tell Jackson all the things

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 1>that's going to go wrong if he don't practice, I

0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>tell him all the things that's going to go right

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 1>if he does this way. He only focuses on the road.

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Remember with Kaz. Rather than saying stay off the grass,

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Kaz kept focusing on the I said stay. He was

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.440
<v Speaker 1>riding his bike and he couldn't stay straight. I kept saying,

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 1>stay off the grass, Stay off the grass. He kept

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 1>looking down at the grass and running to the grass.

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Same thing happens with anxiety. What if I miss What

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 1>if I missed? What if I miss Stop focusing on

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.439
<v Speaker 1>the missus? What's going to happen when you make all

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>them shots? And then Jackson started saying, Oh, the power

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of manifestation works. I told you that to that and

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I scored twenty seven points. I said, did you miss

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>any He said yeah, but I knew the next one

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.840
<v Speaker 1>was going in. That's how you get rid of performance anxiety.

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 1>You practice it so many times that you know the

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 1>next one is going to be positive, and you never

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:34.439
<v Speaker 1>think about the negative.

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, I did the opposite.

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>So my story on performing anxiety when I realized I

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:39.640
<v Speaker 2>had it early on, was when it came to playing

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the piano. My mother put me in piano lessons just

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.240
<v Speaker 2>because she wanted me to try it. You know, she's

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:45.679
<v Speaker 2>exposing me to different things, and.

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 5>I hate it.

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.639
<v Speaker 2>I hated every day of it. I really enjoyed my

0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.280
<v Speaker 2>music teacher. He was an awesome guy, so like getting

0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 2>a chill with him and spend time was like cool.

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 2>When I was a kid and I was playing decent,

0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.160
<v Speaker 2>but not enough to perform anywhere.

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 1>However kind of piano jazz or classical, class.

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Classical piano, how I was. I started when I was

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:06.280
<v Speaker 3>about eight.

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Classical piano was born.

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:12.679
<v Speaker 3>I started, Yeah, I did it to so one summer.

0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Done that really?

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:14.400
<v Speaker 3>See?

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:16.640
<v Speaker 2>So I was doing it because my mother was pretty much,

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, like we are with the kids, if you

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.120
<v Speaker 2>start something, you have to finish it, like you can't

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:21.160
<v Speaker 2>just quit midway through.

0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Was it your choice to do it?

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 3>No, No, it wasn't.

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 5>It was kind of like, you know, you want to.

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Take up an instrument, and she's like, what about the piano?

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, I guess I'll try it.

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:29.439
<v Speaker 8>And then I.

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 3>Realized going into it that I really didn't enjoy it

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:32.120
<v Speaker 3>that much.

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 4>But everyone, you can't be you can't fulfill something that

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:38.119
<v Speaker 4>you didn't really want to do.

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:39.679
<v Speaker 1>That was my thing.

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of like, okay, but then my mom

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 2>goes in like brags to everyone, Oh she does she

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 2>plays the piano.

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 5>She takeing piano lessons.

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.720
<v Speaker 2>So the very first time that my school, Bethlehem Baptist Academy,

0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.159
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh we're having chapel service, you know, I

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 2>forget it was like the third grade performing and oh,

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Kadean plays the piano, she can do a piano solo.

0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 2>So I have this piano piece that I'm like practicing,

0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 2>practicing right with my teacher to perform at Chapel. And

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I had like a month to prepare for it. But

0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't practicing on my own. I was literally just

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 2>like fiddling around and then I would leave. I would

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 2>never just sit the time to say practice other than

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:16.520
<v Speaker 2>when I was with my teacher. So what do we

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 2>know about pittspo preparations.

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know exactly.

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 2>So I got up on stage with this piano, Everyone's

0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:29.120
<v Speaker 2>looking at me and chapel and I started to play

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:31.879
<v Speaker 2>and then I froze. I kept trying to start over

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>and over again, froze to the point where my mom

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 2>had to come and like sit next to me just

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:40.680
<v Speaker 2>to like, you know, ease my fear to get through

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 2>the piece. And I just barely got through it and

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 2>was so humiliated after, and of course everyone was like, you.

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:47.639
<v Speaker 5>Know, you did a good job, It's okay. I was like,

0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:49.439
<v Speaker 5>I did not, y'all lie it to me? Why y'all lie,

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 5>y'all can say that I.

0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Stuck and I should never play the piano again. But

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 2>because of that, my mother was like, well, now you

0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 2>have to practice and still see it through. I was

0:22:57.119 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 2>ready to throw in the towel after that, because I'm

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 2>just like I just got I'm embarrassed in front of everybody,

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 2>because we do perform and we add what typically when

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.640
<v Speaker 2>you perform, you add value to whatever reaction you get

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 2>out of the performance. And to me, at that moment,

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I completely dropped the ball. I sucked and just wanted

0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 2>to like call into a hole.

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll say this as a parent now, it's unfair to

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:20.160
<v Speaker 1>tell your kids to try something and then you don't

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:21.360
<v Speaker 1>help them prepare the right way.

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Like me.

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 1>If that was me, and I'm not knocking mean me,

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:26.359
<v Speaker 1>I would have done the same thing you want. You're

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna learn how to play the piano. Oh could you

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 1>know how to play the piano? You know you got

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 1>ten days before you play the piano every day in

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:34.879
<v Speaker 1>this house. You're gonna play this piano for me, and

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be staring at you, and you're gonna be nervous,

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna do it until it gets right. Because

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 1>by the time you get to that performance on that day,

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:42.920
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be like, man, I did this in front

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>of my dad. Looked like he was gonna kill me.

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 1>That's how should have.

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.400
<v Speaker 4>That was me stood there right there, like play yep,

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:56.320
<v Speaker 4>that's yeah, play okay, m hm, start over. I don't

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to play.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Play yep.

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:00.120
<v Speaker 4>I guess I'm gonna figure out.

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not against that for real.

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:03.360
<v Speaker 2>And I played the piano for years and never got

0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 2>any better. The one song I was comfortable with was

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Old to Joy.

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 5>I'll Never Forget.

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 2>And I remember playing that because when when my aunts

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:12.640
<v Speaker 2>and uncles would come by or whatever, my father would

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 2>be like, go play in my song, and I would

0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.480
<v Speaker 2>play Old to Joy and like fast forward four years later,

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:20.360
<v Speaker 2>my aunt was like, he's the only song, favorite song,

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:23.160
<v Speaker 2>your favorite song you like to play.

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:26.920
<v Speaker 5>That's the only song quiet as his cats, you know

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 5>what I'm saying.

0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:30.159
<v Speaker 2>But I did practice pieces because when I had the

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:32.119
<v Speaker 2>pageants that I were performing, it's like you have a

0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 2>talent competition, and I couldn't sing worth a damn.

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 5>I would dance sometimes, but my mom was like, if

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 5>you show you know classical.

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Pianists, you know there's an elevated level of technicality, and

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:43.720
<v Speaker 2>she was on it. She was right.

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:44.760
<v Speaker 5>I just hated this ship.

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:48.119
<v Speaker 1>The approach was wasn't wasn't ironed out right?

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 2>She was she was onto something, and I wasn't locked in.

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Now I was an adult, I'm like, damn, I should

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 2>have locked in. It had been dope to like get

0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:55.080
<v Speaker 2>on a piano and be able to play like Mozart

0:24:55.200 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 2>or some ship rul I could have been.

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.040
<v Speaker 8>And it is hard when your parents don't know how

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 8>to do the thing that you're doing.

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 7>I played violin all through school, first grade through senior year,

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 7>and I always played like in an orchestra. We always

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:20.440
<v Speaker 7>had recitals. I always played in front of people. But

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 7>senior year, I was in this like high school kind

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 7>of sorority group thing and we had a conference every summer.

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 7>So at the conference we had a little talent show.

0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:32.639
<v Speaker 7>They asked me to play the violin. I'm like, fine,

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 7>I had to play in front of our group like

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:37.239
<v Speaker 7>in rehearsals and stuff, and I felt okay, But by

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:40.600
<v Speaker 7>the time the day came, I was shaking so bad

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 7>trying to play my violin.

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:44.080
<v Speaker 8>It sounded terrible.

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 7>I could barely stand on my two feet and I

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.600
<v Speaker 7>had never experienced that before. As a kid, I was

0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 7>always a performer and I was never shy. I was

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:53.440
<v Speaker 7>always a singer. I was singing front of everybody, talent shows, whatever,

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:56.480
<v Speaker 7>and I never had performance anxiety.

0:25:56.600 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 8>But between like seventh grade and senior year, I didn't

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:01.639
<v Speaker 8>really perform anymore.

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 7>My parents hadn't poured into me the way that I

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:06.399
<v Speaker 7>wanted them to, and I would ask to go to

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:09.600
<v Speaker 7>theater camp or whatever, and they would just be like, girls,

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 7>shut the hell up, you know.

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 8>So I wasn't really performing.

0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 7>So by the time senior year came, I hadn't been

0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 7>on stage by myself, you know, in a long time.

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 7>I even did like a speech competition that year, and

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:23.680
<v Speaker 7>I had practiced so much, knew it and could not

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 7>recite the speech at all.

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:27.520
<v Speaker 8>When I got up there, it was you.

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Said, your legs, your legs were weak. Yes, I was

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 1>shaking your central nervous system. Your brain is spine like.

0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:36.720
<v Speaker 3>The physical manifestation happens.

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 1>To athletes too. That's why athletes can't perform when people

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.159
<v Speaker 1>what you went through is what athletes go through. And

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:43.720
<v Speaker 1>people were like, why he playing like that? Or why

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 1>she playing with like that? Why she not playing like herself?

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 1>It's performance anxiety. Bro when your brain and your spine

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:53.400
<v Speaker 1>shut down. You move slower, you sweating, you don't have balance.

0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Everything almost seems like you're high, almost just like why

0:26:57.320 --> 0:27:00.159
<v Speaker 1>can't I correct what's happening? And before you know, the

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 1>performance over and everybody looking at you like what was that?

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:07.239
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it was insane and I don't think I've ever

0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:12.400
<v Speaker 7>had performance anxiety that bad again, but I can tell

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:16.360
<v Speaker 7>that with like violin, I wasn't really I didn't really

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 7>practice at home as much as I as you know,

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 7>my counterparts did. My teacher is like you have to

0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:25.639
<v Speaker 7>take private lessons and so that you'll practice whatever. So

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:27.560
<v Speaker 7>I didn't feel like I was good at it. So

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:31.159
<v Speaker 7>that was another part of it. I was like, I

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 7>don't think I'm good at this. And then even though

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 7>I did practice for the event, I still was like,

0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:38.960
<v Speaker 7>not confident in my skill to be on stage doing

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 7>it in front of people.

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Count I got my moment of truth. Anxiety happens because

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>people don't feel confident in what.

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, even like social media, I have performance anxiety when

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 7>it comes to posting on social media. Every single time

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 7>I post, I'd be like, oh my god.

0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 2>And it's fair of the reaction you're gonna get from

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 2>people post I hear sometimes and like, well, delete if

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't get a certain amount of engagement in a

0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 2>certain amount of time, or post with the option to

0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:12.879
<v Speaker 2>take off likes or comments or things like that, because

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:16.159
<v Speaker 2>ultimately we're I mean, the whole purpose of performing is

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>to get up in front of an audience of people,

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:20.640
<v Speaker 2>essentially to do something right.

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 1>But it's also your purpose for doing it right, Like

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 1>do you perform for cheers or do you perform just

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to share?

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:27.919
<v Speaker 7>Right?

0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:32.159
<v Speaker 1>And that matters, right, because if you're performing for cheers

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:35.199
<v Speaker 1>and you don't get the response you want, that can

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 1>give you anxiety. But if you're performing just to share,

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter what they feel. I just wanted to

0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 1>share this because this was something I had, you know

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, And that's that's always been my approach

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to social media. And me and josh Are talked about

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 1>this before. I'm like, he'd be like, yo, this is

0:28:50.640 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 1>his biggest thing is things got to be perfect. And

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I always used to be like, I don't care if

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 1>it's perfect, I just want to share it.

0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>It's funny you mentioned purpose because I've read something that

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 2>said purpose is the antidote for panic.

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Wow, purpose is the antidote for panic.

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that's a really great point. I'm gonna say.

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 7>There are other times, like doing stand up, I don't

0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 7>get I'll get nervous beforehand, but when I get on

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 7>stage it goes away. And I remember when I first

0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 7>started doing stand up, I was so scared that I

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 7>was going to have that same reaction that I did

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 7>playing the violin, that I would be shaking and I

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 7>wouldn't be able to stand up, you know, But.

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:30.959
<v Speaker 1>It goes away, you know, with that and that purpose.

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and it's something that I feel like i've, like,

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 8>you know, in my head what I know about myself.

0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>You want to do stand up, don't you. You didn't

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>want to do the violin. Yeah, you wanted to do pageants,

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you didn't want to play the piano. Your purpose was

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>directly tied to the thing you wanted to do, which

0:29:48.680 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 1>made you have confidence because you felt like, this is

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 1>what I'm meant to do. When you're doing something that

0:29:53.880 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you don't feel like you're meant to do, or someone

0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:57.960
<v Speaker 1>else is making you do, you kind of feel uncertain.

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 1>That brings doubt, Doubt brings fear, It brings panic.

0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 2>And that's why people say you should know your purpose

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:06.600
<v Speaker 2>in life, because you excel in those moments where the

0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:08.960
<v Speaker 2>panic will cease because you know you're living out something

0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:09.800
<v Speaker 2>you're supposed to be doing.

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 1>And then if your purpose, for example, when you're sharing

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 1>something and you're sharing it just to share and it

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 1>because it's your purpose, you're not worried about the cheers

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 1>because if people don't like it, it wasn't for them

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to like it was just because I wanted to share it.

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 1>And if it helps one person or ten people, that's

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:28.160
<v Speaker 1>what it was for. Oh they didn't like it, well,

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't share it for them to like it. I

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:31.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to help these people and that's what it did.

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:33.920
<v Speaker 1>You don't have anxiety over that because that was the purpose.

0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 1>The purpose wasn't to get admiration from millions of people.

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying.

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, think about us even performing on the stage of life, right,

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:44.240
<v Speaker 2>So if you're showing up as your true self and

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 2>not as a representative of yourself and you're not performing,

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 2>do you think people walk through this world every day

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>just having anxiety in general because they feel like they

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:55.320
<v Speaker 2>have to show up for as who they are, you know,

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 2>and isn't that crazy? How sometimes you can't even feel

0:30:57.520 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 2>like you can be your true self because you're having

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 2>fear of what that's going to look like to other people.

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean that's that's definitely true. But then you

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 1>you come to a realization, like you're not on this

0:31:07.880 --> 0:31:09.240
<v Speaker 1>earth to be here for other people.

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:14.240
<v Speaker 3>And once you realize, yeah, that's the awakening that happened.

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's when they say, oh you woke, Yeah, you

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 1>woke because you don't care about public admiration, so you're

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 1>not afraid to say how you really feel. And when

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 1>people throw backlash at you, you don't run from the

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 1>backlash because it's like, well that's how I felt because

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:31.280
<v Speaker 1>this was my purpose. You know what I'm saying. It's freeing,

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 1>it's free. And you also realize that you're not gonna

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>don't you're not trying to win everybody over, right, Like

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>my my purpose in sharing this is just me purposely,

0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 1>but me personally. My purpose in sharing is not to

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 1>convince anybody here that they need to think like I think.

0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 1>That's not my purpose. My purpose is to just share

0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 1>how I think so that someone else may see a

0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:57.560
<v Speaker 1>different perspective and they may able to see a different

0:31:57.640 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 1>side of the world that they never saw. That's the

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 1>same reason why I'm willing to listen to anybody and everybody,

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:05.960
<v Speaker 1>just because I want to hear like maybe that perspective

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:07.880
<v Speaker 1>is different than mine, but that doesn't mean it's wrong,

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. I think that that allows

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 1>me to have empathy for everyone, because it could be

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the worst person, let me just hear where they're coming from.

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 2>But it also allows you to be sure in who

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:19.400
<v Speaker 2>you are, so you don't have to feel like you

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 2>need to perform for this world.

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 5>For whoever.

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Anybody reached that point yet, I feel like you reach

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:27.640
<v Speaker 2>the point where you kind of just are not performing.

0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 2>You're just this is who I am, and this is

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 2>how I feel, and take me as I am in life.

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Year that's definitely me. I'm at that point now, but

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 4>I still get anxiety in terms of things I have

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 4>to do, like my hands will start sweating badly, like

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 4>we're recording right now. I have a level of anxiety

0:32:44.240 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 4>because I need everything to go well. In my mind,

0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:49.720
<v Speaker 4>you gotta go perfect. When I play the drums, I

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 4>can't give you a I can't dap you up prior,

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 4>but my hands are like, it's like, what's happening in

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:57.560
<v Speaker 4>my head? I'm like, what's happening right now? But what's

0:32:57.600 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 4>a start? It's all right, cool, I.

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Might so once you start, you don't have a ritual

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:03.239
<v Speaker 1>or anything you do to start. You just say I'm

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna go.

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 4>I know for the drums, primarily, my anxiety came from

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:08.960
<v Speaker 4>because I never had time or place the practice at consistently.

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 4>So excuse me, Like on Sundays I'd be up there playing.

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:14.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm just going off with what I already know. How

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 4>I know I can play, but I never had a

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:18.840
<v Speaker 4>chance to actually really go through and practice.

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 1>And photography three three people said the same thing, lack

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>of preparation late to their anxiety. How about you, Josh, same? Yeah.

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:31.560
<v Speaker 6>I mean even with like photography now and things I

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 6>do now, if it's not repetition, like if I'm not

0:33:35.800 --> 0:33:38.280
<v Speaker 6>active enough and then I'll go to do it.

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:39.680
<v Speaker 4>I have a level of anxiety.

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 6>It's not as bad as it was anymore because I

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 6>already feel like I got my ten thousand hours, so

0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 6>it feels like I could easily adjust to certain things.

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 6>But the anxiety is still there and I don't think

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:53.760
<v Speaker 6>it'll ever go away. I kind of I kind of

0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 6>I kind of like the anxiety because it makes me

0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 6>know I care.

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say that, Yeah, we tell Jackson.

0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 6>It's I think it's one of those things that you

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:06.960
<v Speaker 6>that is completely necessary but needs to be under control.

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:09.600
<v Speaker 6>There has to be some level control, and the only

0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:12.880
<v Speaker 6>thing that's going to control it is that preparation period

0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:17.120
<v Speaker 6>that you do prior, because once that's not there, you're

0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:20.520
<v Speaker 6>like left to the wolves. You're you're making assumptions about

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 6>things that you probably should have known before. You are

0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:28.719
<v Speaker 6>letting other factors like other people or their reactions or

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 6>comments or things play a role into like they're taking

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:34.320
<v Speaker 6>the space where preparations should be.

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So I think I know what's all. I always

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 1>know what's.

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 6>Necessary in order to get rid of my anxiety.

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I used to.

0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:48.239
<v Speaker 6>Even when I do like speaking engagements, like like if

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:50.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm teaching or I'm like speaking at a conference or

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:54.000
<v Speaker 6>something like that, I know for a fact when I'm nervous,

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:56.600
<v Speaker 6>and I'm nervous not because I don't notice material.

0:34:57.000 --> 0:34:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm nervous because I didn't I was in a.

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:02.839
<v Speaker 6>Hotel like going over it, or I went I'm saying yeah,

0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 6>and I wasn't like, I just don't probably know the

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:07.800
<v Speaker 6>order of my deck. I gotta look at my screen.

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Things like that make me anxious. Anxious.

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I've learned to embrace it. Like you hear

0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 4>people talk about meditating and it says like, embrace the

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:21.879
<v Speaker 4>nervous energy you feel asolutely, like, welcome that in because

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 4>you know you're gonna perform better with those feelings there.

0:35:25.400 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 1>You're absolutely right. Physiologically that happens. They tell us in

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:33.239
<v Speaker 1>sports psychology that that kinetic energy that you have comes

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 1>from anxiousness. You can control it and you can utilize it,

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 1>and it can help you. It can help you be

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:42.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit faster because adrenaline comes. The The way

0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:43.920
<v Speaker 1>it can hurt you is if you try to get

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:47.160
<v Speaker 1>too relaxed to where you like and you slow your

0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:49.680
<v Speaker 1>central nervous down too much. But now you have to perform.

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Now you look slow. We went through this with Jackson

0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>because Jackson's just starting high school. He's putting all this

0:35:56.280 --> 0:35:59.680
<v Speaker 1>pressure on himself, and I get it. You have two

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>over achieving parents. Jackson automatically assumes he got to be

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:05.560
<v Speaker 1>first and perfected everything, and rather than say to him,

0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 1>why do you think like that we know. So I'm

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:09.160
<v Speaker 1>just like, how can I help him? You know what

0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. So he didn't play his best game. But

0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:15.760
<v Speaker 1>this is the hard part when you have like anxious kids.

0:36:16.120 --> 0:36:19.840
<v Speaker 1>He didn't play bad. You're a rising ninth grader playing varsity.

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Most kids have to go to JV. You're playing varsity, right.

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.680
<v Speaker 1>You didn't have a lot of turnovers, you scored. There

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:27.040
<v Speaker 1>are things you could have did better, but you were

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:29.840
<v Speaker 1>playing a little slow. He's talking to himself about and

0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about yo, Jack's what's going on. He's saying

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:35.919
<v Speaker 1>all of the things that could go wrong. And I said,

0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you've prepared for this, right, you know what you have

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to do?

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:41.879
<v Speaker 1>He's like yes. I said, why are we thinking about

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the negative? And he said, I'm gonna be honest. This

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 1>is and parents, I hope you listening. He's I gotta

0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:53.719
<v Speaker 1>get off to social media. I said, what you mean?

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.200
<v Speaker 1>He said, Bro, I'm looking at all my friends. I'm

0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 1>looking at all this stuff and they, you know, they

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:00.399
<v Speaker 1>get accolades for this. I want that and I haven't

0:37:00.440 --> 0:37:03.600
<v Speaker 1>gotten that yet. And I said, well, Jackson, you're comparing

0:37:03.719 --> 0:37:07.319
<v Speaker 1>where you are to other people's highlights. You're start doing

0:37:07.400 --> 0:37:09.400
<v Speaker 1>that before you even get into high school. You're not

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna make it for a year in high school if

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:13.359
<v Speaker 1>you keep doing that. And he was just like, you're right,

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 1>you're right, You're right. But the thing I didn't do

0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:17.480
<v Speaker 1>is I didn't hide the reality from him. I said, look, bro,

0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:21.080
<v Speaker 1>you didn't play your best, but you didn't play bad.

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Are there things that you need to do to get better?

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:27.400
<v Speaker 1>And he was honest with me, he said, yeah, I

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:30.200
<v Speaker 1>would feel more confident if I worked on my handle.

0:37:31.000 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So all we did the next few days was just

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 1>ball work for an hour, plays the next game, and kills.

0:37:37.239 --> 0:37:39.040
<v Speaker 1>And what it showed me was it wasn't just the

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:41.680
<v Speaker 1>preparation because these were things we were doing before. It's

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:45.440
<v Speaker 1>also understanding the why, Like kids need to understand. The

0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:46.759
<v Speaker 1>why me and Kate was talking about is how do

0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:48.279
<v Speaker 1>you create a dog out of an athlete? You know,

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:50.480
<v Speaker 1>my parents, I gotta create a dog. I used to

0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:53.719
<v Speaker 1>think screaming and cursing and hollering at my kids during

0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 1>sports activity was going to create the dog. I was like,

0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:58.759
<v Speaker 1>this is going to teach them how to ignore what's

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:01.680
<v Speaker 1>going on around them if they can do it. From that,

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:04.799
<v Speaker 1>and I learned very quickly that that doesn't work. How

0:38:04.840 --> 0:38:07.400
<v Speaker 1>you get the dog out of people is having them

0:38:07.520 --> 0:38:10.920
<v Speaker 1>understand the why why they're anxious, why they're nervous, why

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:13.360
<v Speaker 1>they don't feel prepared, and then fix it. When I

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:16.000
<v Speaker 1>did that with Jack's when he realized why he was anxious,

0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:17.440
<v Speaker 1>it was my bull handling.

0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 2>He worked on it for days and remembering his purpose

0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:22.319
<v Speaker 2>and all this, what's the n goal here?

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:23.360
<v Speaker 3>What are we trying to get out of?

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Glad you brought that up, you know, because the purpose

0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:28.360
<v Speaker 1>was a thing. I said, Yo, why are we playing basketball?

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:33.160
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I said, I don't want to play basketball exactly.

0:38:33.600 --> 0:38:35.719
<v Speaker 1>I never said you had to. Your mother never said

0:38:35.760 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you had to. Your friends never said you had to.

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:40.080
<v Speaker 1>But now you're saying all of these things about what

0:38:40.160 --> 0:38:42.160
<v Speaker 1>people are saying. He was like, yeah, I kind of

0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>made that up on my own, Bro, you're creating narratives

0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:48.520
<v Speaker 1>in your own mind. He put that, and then once

0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I explained to him, this is why you're anxious. You're

0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:53.160
<v Speaker 1>thinking about things that are never going to happen, or

0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:55.000
<v Speaker 1>people saying things that have never been said.

0:38:55.480 --> 0:38:57.560
<v Speaker 2>But think about your story time when you said that,

0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 2>you sat on the bench and everybody came to watch

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:02.200
<v Speaker 2>you because they typed you up and said, yo, were

0:39:02.239 --> 0:39:04.720
<v Speaker 2>comeing and watch you. Jackson had the same thing happened

0:39:04.719 --> 0:39:07.080
<v Speaker 2>to him. Everyone was just like yo, Jack, like, we're

0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:08.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna be good because you're here. You know, we're gonna

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:10.560
<v Speaker 2>be happy to have you play with us because you're

0:39:10.560 --> 0:39:13.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna be able to contribute. So he had that pressure

0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:14.920
<v Speaker 2>on his so hard. And then it's funny because he

0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:16.279
<v Speaker 2>called us and we were in the car on the

0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 2>way to the game. He went ahead with his team,

0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:20.160
<v Speaker 2>you remember, and he called and he's just like, yeah,

0:39:20.480 --> 0:39:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm good. You know, I feel good. You know, I'm

0:39:22.800 --> 0:39:24.480
<v Speaker 2>watching the other team play that, you know. And I

0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 2>could tell he was talking himself up because I know

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:28.719
<v Speaker 2>my child. And when I got there, I could tell

0:39:28.760 --> 0:39:30.800
<v Speaker 2>that Jackson was nervous. And even after the game, I

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.359
<v Speaker 2>asked him, were you nervous? Because the valve was kind

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:34.560
<v Speaker 2>of you know, in the car getting on him, like,

0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:35.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, bro, what happened?

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:35.800
<v Speaker 5>What happened?

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 2>You know all the things we talked about, And I said, Jackson,

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:40.640
<v Speaker 2>were you nervous? Na, MA, I wasn't nervous. I wasn't nervous,

0:39:40.840 --> 0:39:41.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, I wasn't.

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:45.720
<v Speaker 3>And then Eventually he broke down. He broke down. He nervous.

0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:47.960
<v Speaker 1>He's like, yeah, I was nervous. And I was like, bro,

0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 1>why did you have to lie about that to us?

0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:53.279
<v Speaker 1>And he told me the truth. He said, I was

0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:56.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to talk myself out of the nerves. And I said, well,

0:39:56.600 --> 0:39:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you were saying I'm not nervous, and he said, yeah,

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 1>think about what you're saying.

0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:02.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm not nervous.

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not nervous. I said, why do you say nervous

0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:05.799
<v Speaker 1>so many times? You know what your body's hearing.

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:07.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm nervous, nervous, nervous.

0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:10.160
<v Speaker 1>He was like, I said, so don't say I'm not nervous,

0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:11.560
<v Speaker 1>say I'm going to play well.

0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:15.399
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think if I embrace the nervous. Yes, it's

0:40:15.440 --> 0:40:16.440
<v Speaker 6>literally there for a reason.

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:17.319
<v Speaker 8>M right.

0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:19.200
<v Speaker 3>And you can tell it matters to him too, It

0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:19.719
<v Speaker 3>does matter.

0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:22.160
<v Speaker 1>And he said it matters to him like he wants

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:24.800
<v Speaker 1>to do well. He wants to perform well because everybody

0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 1>else has put the work into him. And I said, Jackson,

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you you're worried about the wrong thing.

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:28.719
<v Speaker 4>Bro.

0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 1>You got to do it because it's your purpose. We

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:33.280
<v Speaker 1>put the work into you because you're our purpose.

0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:36.200
<v Speaker 4>I get nervous because I care too much for myself.

0:40:36.320 --> 0:40:38.319
<v Speaker 4>I care so much for myself. Not too much because

0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:41.560
<v Speaker 4>you can't care much, but so much. I care so much.

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:43.440
<v Speaker 4>I want this to go really, really well. So it's

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:46.000
<v Speaker 4>like I'm putting all that pressure on myself.

0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:48.480
<v Speaker 2>You you better get it right, absolutely and show up

0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:50.760
<v Speaker 2>and do it. Think about how many times as people,

0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure if I pull like your average person or anyone,

0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 2>think about how many things that we've just not done

0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:58.439
<v Speaker 2>because we just waiting for the right time, or waiting

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:01.359
<v Speaker 2>until we're ready, or waiting till the nerves.

0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:01.719
<v Speaker 3>And the anxiety.

0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, think about how many things we do not try

0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:08.280
<v Speaker 2>because of that and how that can be a hindrance

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:11.279
<v Speaker 2>to just your quality of life, or just doing something

0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:12.480
<v Speaker 2>that you've always wanted.

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.839
<v Speaker 1>To do, but you're just cuter Altar call man bro.

0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:19.319
<v Speaker 3>Man, and the time is just passing us by.

0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 1>You Hear what Jackson says. Now, negative thoughts become negative actions,

0:41:23.280 --> 0:41:26.040
<v Speaker 1>negative actions become negative habits, and negative habits become a

0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:31.360
<v Speaker 1>negative lifestyle. He really believes that. He's like, I'm not

0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing that no more. I'm just going into everything.

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Just this is what's going to happen this.

0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:39.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we be over here like hype man and women.

0:41:40.120 --> 0:41:42.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, everybody be rallying around him the same way

0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:44.759
<v Speaker 2>we rallying around all of them. The cold have taken

0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:47.480
<v Speaker 2>on football camp at four. I don't even know if

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:48.920
<v Speaker 2>they were taking four year olds. But I sent his

0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:50.640
<v Speaker 2>little lass and you know what, he came out. He's like, Mommy,

0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:52.680
<v Speaker 2>I didn't make any touchdowns today, but tomorrow I want

0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:54.960
<v Speaker 2>to make touchdowns. So I saw his little states over

0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:56.399
<v Speaker 2>here on the side of the camera, and I saw

0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:57.399
<v Speaker 2>him giving me thumbs ups.

0:41:57.440 --> 0:42:00.239
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if that meant that he maybe did.

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:03.080
<v Speaker 5>We'll see everybody be like the coder, just go do

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:07.040
<v Speaker 5>shit it. That's my moment is just do shit.

0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:07.840
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:08.239
<v Speaker 4>Do it?

0:42:10.360 --> 0:42:11.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, y'all?

0:42:11.480 --> 0:42:11.920
<v Speaker 8>Are we in?

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:12.560
<v Speaker 3>How far are we in?

0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:14.439
<v Speaker 2>All right, Let's take a quick break and we're gonna

0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 2>come back with our listener letter of the day.

0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:31.920
<v Speaker 5>Be right back, all right, let's dive in.

0:42:33.680 --> 0:42:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Hi everyone, okay, mat come on now with karaoke around

0:42:37.840 --> 0:42:41.640
<v Speaker 2>to the high pitched too. Hey, everybody, hope all is well.

0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Sending love to all of you and extra hugs and

0:42:44.040 --> 0:42:48.200
<v Speaker 2>condolences to Triple thank you for that. You guys can

0:42:48.280 --> 0:42:52.600
<v Speaker 2>call me Naisha. Apologies for this being long. I've been

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:55.239
<v Speaker 2>listening to you guys and your different journeys on taking

0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:58.000
<v Speaker 2>care of your parents. Currently, my dad is ill. We've

0:42:58.040 --> 0:43:04.719
<v Speaker 2>been told that he has scars. Soy dope cars. I

0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 2>just want to make sure, I say, you're right, Star

0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Cordus of the lungs. It's hard for him to breathe

0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:12.080
<v Speaker 2>on a regular basis. He's now on home breathing machine

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:16.080
<v Speaker 2>and must check his pulse and oxygen levels regularly. I

0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:18.160
<v Speaker 2>do not live with him. I'm thirty seven. I'm a

0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:21.080
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven year old woman. I live alone in my

0:43:21.200 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 2>own home. I'm the oldest of five. My whole life,

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I've been the extra pedia. We know, I understand. My

0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:32.560
<v Speaker 2>whole life, I've been the extra parent from my siblings

0:43:32.640 --> 0:43:35.960
<v Speaker 2>on both sides, Mom and dad mm hm. As I've

0:43:36.000 --> 0:43:38.440
<v Speaker 2>gotten older, I've had to set boundaries with my parents

0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:40.600
<v Speaker 2>for them to stop treating me like the baby mama

0:43:40.760 --> 0:43:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and baby daddy that they didn't have to.

0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:46.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm laughing because of it.

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:49.200
<v Speaker 2>They didn't have to help who didn't have to help

0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:51.440
<v Speaker 2>them and treat me as their daughter. Now that my

0:43:51.520 --> 0:43:53.359
<v Speaker 2>dad is sick. I do my best to check on him,

0:43:53.400 --> 0:43:55.960
<v Speaker 2>as well as having to check on my mom and granny,

0:43:56.000 --> 0:43:59.120
<v Speaker 2>who is ninety. Everyone lives on opposite sides of town.

0:43:59.200 --> 0:44:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Plus I work in in my own photography business. When

0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I do see my dad, I tried to wash dishes

0:44:04.080 --> 0:44:07.000
<v Speaker 2>and do little things around the house, but he always

0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:09.200
<v Speaker 2>gets up and makes it, becomes a dictator.

0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:10.800
<v Speaker 5>It's not pleasant.

0:44:11.000 --> 0:44:14.399
<v Speaker 2>He's mean and grumpy, always talking about his kids don't

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:16.680
<v Speaker 2>do anything for him, and constantly reminds us of how

0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:18.719
<v Speaker 2>he took care of us as he was supposed to

0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:22.600
<v Speaker 2>growing up, saying things like none of us would have

0:44:22.680 --> 0:44:27.080
<v Speaker 2>anything with or be anywhere without him, etc. My dad

0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:29.120
<v Speaker 2>is a single man, and as an adult woman, I

0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:32.000
<v Speaker 2>know why. It's funny how we learn our parents. After

0:44:32.000 --> 0:44:33.720
<v Speaker 2>a while, it's like you understand why you're single.

0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Bro.

0:44:34.520 --> 0:44:36.880
<v Speaker 2>He's one of those men who chased women younger than

0:44:36.960 --> 0:44:39.680
<v Speaker 2>him legal age, but always ten plus years younger, and

0:44:39.760 --> 0:44:41.960
<v Speaker 2>never wanted to be married or find true love. He

0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:44.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't like women his age because he simply couldn't manipulate that.

0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:46.920
<v Speaker 1>That.

0:44:47.120 --> 0:44:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's another listener letter right now. He's old, lonely,

0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:53.160
<v Speaker 2>and miserable. My question is how do I continue to

0:44:53.239 --> 0:44:55.720
<v Speaker 2>do this. It's hard enough to watch his health decline,

0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:57.960
<v Speaker 2>which I'm sure is even harder for him, but mentally,

0:44:58.000 --> 0:44:59.640
<v Speaker 2>it's taking a toll on all his children.

0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:01.040
<v Speaker 3>He's pushing us away.

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:03.960
<v Speaker 2>We all have anxiety of one have the anxiety of

0:45:04.040 --> 0:45:06.600
<v Speaker 2>wanting to see him, but not wanting to be put

0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:09.040
<v Speaker 2>down or talked too poorly. And you don't have to

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:11.680
<v Speaker 2>mind you. None of his kids have been to jail

0:45:11.719 --> 0:45:13.920
<v Speaker 2>or ever been on drugs. We all work good jobs,

0:45:13.960 --> 0:45:16.520
<v Speaker 2>and my brothers have their own family. Yet he will

0:45:16.520 --> 0:45:19.279
<v Speaker 2>stay still say things like my kids sorry as hell,

0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:21.880
<v Speaker 2>or my sons are too focused on their women, as

0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 2>if they're not supposed to be.

0:45:23.640 --> 0:45:26.360
<v Speaker 5>Please help love you guys, God bless.

0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:26.879
<v Speaker 4>This is very sick.

0:45:26.960 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 3>That is jealous, chest.

0:45:28.200 --> 0:45:31.279
<v Speaker 2>I was about to say that is jealous and cantankerous

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:33.239
<v Speaker 2>and old because his life did not pan out the

0:45:33.280 --> 0:45:34.719
<v Speaker 2>way he soffits.

0:45:35.040 --> 0:45:37.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and now he's mad at everybody around you. Don't

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:37.840
<v Speaker 3>take that on you.

0:45:38.000 --> 0:45:40.279
<v Speaker 1>He's sick. Yeah, And this is to all of the

0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the frat boys and city girls who live in life

0:45:44.080 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 1>alone on the edge. At some point, you're gonna get

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:49.200
<v Speaker 1>old and who's gonna take care of your old lass

0:45:49.520 --> 0:45:52.520
<v Speaker 1>when you went out here giving everybody the finger for

0:45:52.680 --> 0:45:54.840
<v Speaker 1>all of your twenties and thirties and forty becase everybody

0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:57.320
<v Speaker 1>fingers about me and me selfish, me, me, me, me.

0:45:57.600 --> 0:45:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Now you got kids and you old, and can nobody

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:01.640
<v Speaker 1>take care of you? And you mad at everybody. This

0:46:01.840 --> 0:46:04.200
<v Speaker 1>is what happens with life, and you don't realize until

0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:06.719
<v Speaker 1>you get older. That's just a fact. Like if you're

0:46:06.719 --> 0:46:08.759
<v Speaker 1>a city boy, you a city good. It's gonna come

0:46:08.800 --> 0:46:11.279
<v Speaker 1>a point. My boys who are in their forties now,

0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:15.560
<v Speaker 1>who don't got women, all tell me, They all tell me, like, bro,

0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:19.080
<v Speaker 1>this shit, why they I'm telling you. The twenties and

0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the thirties is a lot of battle of the sexists, right.

0:46:21.800 --> 0:46:23.960
<v Speaker 1>People are learning each other, especially on the Internet, a

0:46:24.000 --> 0:46:26.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of arguing. Then people get older and they realize

0:46:26.840 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 1>what life is like, and they realize how simple life is.

0:46:29.440 --> 0:46:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And you spent so many years pushing people away, being selfish,

0:46:33.800 --> 0:46:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and now you want the same people you pushed the

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:37.920
<v Speaker 1>way to be there for you, and you try to

0:46:38.040 --> 0:46:41.160
<v Speaker 1>use the same manipulative tactics. But sorry as hell. So

0:46:41.200 --> 0:46:43.160
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna tell somebody they sorry as hell and expect

0:46:43.200 --> 0:46:44.120
<v Speaker 1>them to come take care of you.

0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 2>That partly supposed to be your savior in this moment now, sir, certain,

0:46:49.440 --> 0:46:52.600
<v Speaker 2>So trust me, I understand, thankfully my parents don't treat

0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:55.160
<v Speaker 2>us like that. So but it's still hard to try

0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:58.680
<v Speaker 2>to parents or your parents as well. Like it's faithfully,

0:46:58.680 --> 0:47:00.880
<v Speaker 2>they're pleasant for the most part, so we don't have

0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:03.239
<v Speaker 2>to deal with that. So I imagine like wanting to

0:47:03.360 --> 0:47:06.000
<v Speaker 2>help and being I will say though, that when someone

0:47:06.120 --> 0:47:08.120
<v Speaker 2>is sick and not at their best, it does kind

0:47:08.160 --> 0:47:10.080
<v Speaker 2>of trigger those kind of emotions.

0:47:10.480 --> 0:47:12.200
<v Speaker 5>Like when my dad was going through the thick of

0:47:12.360 --> 0:47:12.960
<v Speaker 5>his uh.

0:47:13.560 --> 0:47:16.440
<v Speaker 2>I hate to say his treatment the treatment, because I

0:47:16.520 --> 0:47:20.040
<v Speaker 2>never like to claim that over his but when he

0:47:20.160 --> 0:47:22.239
<v Speaker 2>was going through the thick of treatment and he was

0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:25.560
<v Speaker 2>at his worst, he was a bit snappy, and.

0:47:25.680 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 5>He was a bit you know, irritating.

0:47:28.040 --> 0:47:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was irritable, but that's because I understood that

0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:33.120
<v Speaker 2>he was just going through like the absolute worst of

0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:35.440
<v Speaker 2>the worst in that moment, so I gave him grace

0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:38.400
<v Speaker 2>but also gently had to be like, hey, we're all

0:47:38.480 --> 0:47:41.120
<v Speaker 2>still here to help. You know, Mom is trying to assist.

0:47:41.520 --> 0:47:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to help, and you not saying please or

0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:45.680
<v Speaker 2>thank you or you being snappy.

0:47:46.080 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 5>It's not going to get you anything. Yes, sorry, listen, sorry.

0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:55.400
<v Speaker 1>No, it's like this ain't cool. K Yeah, like, yo,

0:47:55.480 --> 0:47:56.200
<v Speaker 1>this is not cool.

0:47:56.239 --> 0:47:56.799
<v Speaker 3>It's not cool.

0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:59.719
<v Speaker 2>There's like a level of like decorum and respect because listen,

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:02.200
<v Speaker 2>we wouldn't be here in this position if you did

0:48:02.280 --> 0:48:03.839
<v Speaker 2>some of the things you were supposed to do along

0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:05.959
<v Speaker 2>the way and take care of yourself. And you didn't

0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:07.560
<v Speaker 2>take care of yourself, and now we're having to take

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:09.400
<v Speaker 2>care of you. So if you would like for us

0:48:09.440 --> 0:48:11.520
<v Speaker 2>to continue to do so, yeah, take a chill pills.

0:48:11.719 --> 0:48:12.359
<v Speaker 3>Take a chill pill.

0:48:12.680 --> 0:48:13.120
<v Speaker 4>That's fair.

0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:15.880
<v Speaker 1>That's a super fair point, especially for older people who

0:48:16.120 --> 0:48:18.520
<v Speaker 1>want to be mad at their kids, like I took

0:48:18.560 --> 0:48:19.960
<v Speaker 1>care of y'all. Yeah, but if you would have took

0:48:20.000 --> 0:48:21.799
<v Speaker 1>care of yourself the way I'm pretty sure your kids

0:48:21.920 --> 0:48:24.120
<v Speaker 1>was telling you because we watched it. On this side,

0:48:24.239 --> 0:48:26.759
<v Speaker 1>we all tell our parents watch your health, watch your health,

0:48:26.800 --> 0:48:28.759
<v Speaker 1>and all your parents act like they know more than

0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:31.320
<v Speaker 1>you until their health declines, and now they want you

0:48:31.400 --> 0:48:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to do all these things. It's like now I'm the

0:48:33.320 --> 0:48:34.200
<v Speaker 1>parent and you the child.

0:48:34.360 --> 0:48:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you know, so essentially that's and who needs the

0:48:36.680 --> 0:48:39.560
<v Speaker 2>help now? Like what I love about my mom specifically

0:48:39.680 --> 0:48:42.480
<v Speaker 2>is that she's locked in like she had a heart

0:48:42.480 --> 0:48:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and second fifty four and she was like.

0:48:44.200 --> 0:48:44.719

<v Speaker 2>She's on the grass with the boys doing work like detox. Yeah,

0:48:56.360 --> 0:48:58.360
<v Speaker 2>she does her things to ensure that because she's like,

0:48:58.400 --> 0:48:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be a burden to you guys

0:48:59.640 --> 0:49:01.319
<v Speaker 2>when I'm older. I want to live as long as

0:49:01.360 --> 0:49:03.240
<v Speaker 2>possible as I can with you, all of these boys,

0:49:03.680 --> 0:49:05.160
<v Speaker 2>you know. And then you have some parents that just

<v Speaker 2>be like, it is what it is.

0:49:07.280 --> 0:49:08.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, it is what it is.

0:49:08.280 --> 0:49:11.040
<v Speaker 2>And it's hard to watch, but I understand your frustration,

<v Speaker 2>doormat to steps on.

0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:20.239
<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna beat nobody up. Tell your brother's to

0:49:20.239 --> 0:49:22.239
<v Speaker 1>hold him accountable, like your pops. Cam, I'm coming to

0:49:22.360 --> 0:49:24.440
<v Speaker 1>wash the dishes. I'm trying. I'm coming to do this right.

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:27.279

<v Speaker 1>Watch your fucking mouth right, Like, sometimes it's okay to

0:49:31.320 --> 0:49:33.399
<v Speaker 1>hold your family. It's accountable the same way they held

0:49:33.440 --> 0:49:35.520
<v Speaker 1>you accountable, especially in an old age. I'm an adult.

0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:38.280
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to talk down to me and expect

0:49:38.360 --> 0:49:40.640
<v Speaker 1>me to do things like I'm a kid, right, not

0:49:40.760 --> 0:49:42.320
<v Speaker 1>doing that. I'm definitely not doing that.

0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:43.839
<v Speaker 2>How about you go find a young thing to wipe

0:49:43.880 --> 0:49:44.440
<v Speaker 2>your ass, sir?

0:49:44.920 --> 0:49:45.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

0:49:46.160 --> 0:49:50.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and it seems like says if the lines is temporary,

0:49:51.000 --> 0:49:53.840
<v Speaker 7>it should go away, so it's not chronic.

0:49:54.000 --> 0:49:54.520
<v Speaker 1>He'll be all right.

0:49:54.840 --> 0:49:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he'll be all right. He's just going through it

0:49:56.480 --> 0:49:56.719
<v Speaker 3>right now.

0:49:56.760 --> 0:49:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's hurt if he can't breathe Remember Pops

0:49:59.560 --> 0:50:02.160
<v Speaker 1>went through COPD and you can't brieth It makes you

0:50:02.200 --> 0:50:05.080
<v Speaker 1>irritable because then you can't sleep. Then you emotional because

0:50:05.080 --> 0:50:07.759
<v Speaker 1>you can't sleep, you have sleep deprivation. Still not ex

0:50:07.920 --> 0:50:09.520
<v Speaker 1>used to be an asshold of people, but he is

0:50:09.640 --> 0:50:13.000
<v Speaker 1>going through some things. So you know, if I'm the

0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:17.080
<v Speaker 1>oldest son, that's what I do. I'm the oldest son

0:50:17.120 --> 0:50:19.560
<v Speaker 1>because the oldest daughter, she seems like she's trying. The

0:50:19.640 --> 0:50:21.360
<v Speaker 1>oldest son, the one who got his old family, need

0:50:21.400 --> 0:50:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to go over there and be like, yo, dude, you

0:50:23.440 --> 0:50:25.800
<v Speaker 1>ain't gonna be talking to my sisters like that. You

0:50:26.160 --> 0:50:29.919
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. Some people, especially men, deal better

0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:32.640
<v Speaker 1>when another man check them. You know what I'm saying.

0:50:32.640 --> 0:50:34.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like, Yo, I gotta I gotta tell you, and

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:36.279
<v Speaker 1>not in a bad way, but it's like, Yo, look

0:50:36.320 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 1>at how you coming across to the women in our life.

0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:38.239
<v Speaker 2>Bro.

0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes they need to see that and be like, yo,

0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:43.640
<v Speaker 1>you're not doing right. So I would think, tell your

0:50:43.680 --> 0:50:45.960
<v Speaker 1>older brother, or tell your little brother who's the oldest,

0:50:46.760 --> 0:50:48.520
<v Speaker 1>who clearly is doing well in life because he has

0:50:48.520 --> 0:50:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a family of his own and a wife, so he

0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:52.560
<v Speaker 1>understands women. Tell him to talk to your pops.

0:50:54.520 --> 0:50:54.920
<v Speaker 4>He'll do it.

0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:59.279
<v Speaker 1>There's always one that they keep away. Now's not the

0:50:59.320 --> 0:51:03.279
<v Speaker 1>time to keep that went away. Go talk to that.

0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Go talk to that exactly all right. I hope everything

0:51:07.000 --> 0:51:08.680
<v Speaker 2>is better with you, and I hope your dad feels

0:51:08.719 --> 0:51:12.400
<v Speaker 2>better soon too. Hopefully that will help a tire demeanor.

0:51:12.800 --> 0:51:13.319
<v Speaker 5>All right, y'all.

0:51:13.320 --> 0:51:14.919

0:51:25.239 --> 0:51:28.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, moment, true time, we're talking performance anxiety today,

0:51:29.160 --> 0:51:32.200
<v Speaker 2>how we've all experienced it, continue to experience it in

0:51:32.280 --> 0:51:34.040
<v Speaker 2>some facets, and how we've overcome.

0:51:34.239 --> 0:51:38.320
<v Speaker 1>So anybody got this moment true mind was performance anxiety

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:41.960
<v Speaker 1>comes with reps. It comes with reps and understanding your purpose.

0:51:42.200 --> 0:51:44.080
<v Speaker 1>If you're doing something that you love to do, when

0:51:44.080 --> 0:51:46.560
<v Speaker 1>you really want to do, practice it as much as

0:51:46.600 --> 0:51:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you can so when it's time to do it, you

0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:49.399
<v Speaker 1>can get it done.

0:51:49.760 --> 0:51:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Love that.

0:51:50.440 --> 0:51:52.200
<v Speaker 2>And then you said the P word purpose. So I'm

0:51:52.200 --> 0:51:53.600
<v Speaker 2>going to go back to that little quote that I

0:51:53.680 --> 0:51:56.839
<v Speaker 2>heard that said purpose is the antidote to panic. If

0:51:56.880 --> 0:51:58.960
<v Speaker 2>you understand what your purpose isn't anything that you do,

0:51:59.440 --> 0:52:01.960
<v Speaker 2>whether it's reformative and it's something you enjoy, or whether

0:52:02.000 --> 0:52:05.040
<v Speaker 2>it's just life, it'll definitely be a lot easier for

0:52:05.120 --> 0:52:07.520
<v Speaker 2>you to get rid of the panicing anxiety around it

0:52:07.560 --> 0:52:09.720
<v Speaker 2>because you understand that that's something you're here, you're supposed

0:52:09.719 --> 0:52:12.800
<v Speaker 2>to do. So good luck to everybody finding their purpose

0:52:13.160 --> 0:52:14.600
<v Speaker 2>and kicking performance anxiety.

0:52:14.840 --> 0:52:19.040
<v Speaker 4>Facts Embrace the anxiety excuse me, embrase the anxiety and

0:52:19.080 --> 0:52:21.720
<v Speaker 4>channelmen use it to your advantage.

0:52:23.760 --> 0:52:29.400
<v Speaker 6>Sto Josh, I see I was gonna say, embrace the nervousness.

0:52:30.400 --> 0:52:31.040
<v Speaker 1>And welcome it.

0:52:32.080 --> 0:52:36.279
<v Speaker 6>The only way to overcome and challenge nervousness is by

0:52:36.760 --> 0:52:38.719
<v Speaker 6>getting your reps in the ten thousand hours that we

0:52:38.800 --> 0:52:41.279
<v Speaker 6>know about, uh. And it's a perfect way to become

0:52:41.320 --> 0:52:45.960
<v Speaker 6>an outlier, even if you have perfect performance anxiety because ultimately,

0:52:46.280 --> 0:52:50.440
<v Speaker 6>ultimately it is about performance and you you always want

0:52:50.480 --> 0:52:55.040
<v Speaker 6>to be an outlier while you're you're performing. So ten

0:52:55.080 --> 0:52:58.560
<v Speaker 6>thousand hours, embracing the things, all the things that come

0:52:58.640 --> 0:52:58.800
<v Speaker 6>with it.

0:53:00.080 --> 0:53:00.359
<v Speaker 8>Year ago.

0:53:00.480 --> 0:53:06.160
<v Speaker 7>It's a poem keep it pee because practice makes perfect

0:53:06.880 --> 0:53:10.040
<v Speaker 7>and purpose soothes panic.

0:53:11.360 --> 0:53:11.600
<v Speaker 8>Ah.

0:53:17.480 --> 0:53:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's like that was better than a proper preparation

0:53:21.920 --> 0:53:23.280
<v Speaker 2>prevents pits poor performance.

0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:24.680
<v Speaker 8>But it's a similar.

0:53:26.160 --> 0:53:27.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, for sure.

0:53:28.239 --> 0:53:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Teachers use that.

0:53:29.040 --> 0:53:30.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, that's I heard that every day in my

0:53:30.600 --> 0:53:31.359
<v Speaker 3>life at battle him.

0:53:31.600 --> 0:53:34.279
<v Speaker 1>But no, I heard that in Ps. Two o eight.

0:53:34.360 --> 0:53:36.799
<v Speaker 1>But she was Guyanese too. It's not a Jamaican.

0:53:41.520 --> 0:53:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Brashaw. She was back in the day.
