Speaker 1: and Chill Happy Monday. I can't believe that it's the

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: end of September. I'm like, what the heck, there's only

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: three months left in twenty twenty four? WHOA has it

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: been a year? But AnyWho, today is going to be

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: a good episode because I'm going to talk to you

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: guys about something that happens to me quite often, something

8
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: that I deal with on a daily basis, and I'm

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: pretty sure you guys are going to understand what I'm

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: talking about. So let me take a deep breath, y'all.

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: I consider myself to be a pretty well now, I'm

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: that type of person, like cool, you know, chill chigis

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: and chill type of person. I'm happy I give people

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt. I wear my emotions on

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: my sleeve and say that maybe in my past, when

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: I was younger, I was naive, I was gullible. A

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: lot of that has changed as I've matured, as life

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: has happened and I've learned the hard way. I've shared

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: a lot of that with you guys. One thing that

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: I've been encountering a lot lately, or maybe I've been

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: noticing a lot more because I'm not putting up with

22
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: BS because I've decided that I want for every relationship

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: in my life to be reciprocated. I always tell you

24
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: guys this.

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: I like to treat people the way I want to

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: be treated.

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't ever ask for more than I deserve, for

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: more than I'm willing to give. And what I'm talking

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: about now is your kindness being taken for weakness. I

30
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys can relate, but it's been

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: happening quite a bit and I've just had it. I'm like,

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: wait a second. Not that I want to change my essence,

33
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: because that's not what it's about. I want to continue

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: being myself and giving of myself to the people that

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: deserve it and also give me the best of themselves.

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Now I'm calling people on their shit. A lot of

37
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: people don't like it. A lot of people want to say, oh,

38
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: you've changed, you're different, and they want to blame the fame,

39
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: and they want to say, oh, because you're doing this,

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: because you're doing that, because you have more, has nothing

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: to do with that. I've just gotten to a point

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: in my life where I am tired of feeling unappreciated

43
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: of if there's anything that bothers me.

44
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: Quite a bit.

45
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: It's a pet peeve of mine. As you guys know,

46
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: I have a lot of pet peeves. But is that

47
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: a bad thing?

48
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: But I do. I have a lot of pet peeves.

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Anyways, Okay, what does that mean in English that you

50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: want to play me for a fool? I cannot, just

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: because I am nice and because I'm forgiving, and because

52
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: I am out here just trying to do my best

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: in the world. I'm not saying I'm perfect. There's days

54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: where I'm a cancer, you guys, I will snap. And

55
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: there are days that the moon is green and blue

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: and it's out of shape or it's full and I'm

57
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: in a bad mood. That's just I'm sorry. And I'll

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: even say it now a I'm not in a good mood.

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling well. I'm very vocal about that now

60
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: as to before I was. I'd try to just you know, hey,

61
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna suck it up. It's not happening. So anyways,

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: My point is, every time I talk about something on

63
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: the pod, you guys, it's always usually like a note

64
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: to myself especially when it's just you and I, the

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: mic and I and I'm talking to you guys directly.

66
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: It's because I'm experienced something or I just recently experienced something,

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I want to get into detail,

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: just because I don't want to make the situation worse

69
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: and because the person's not here to defend themselves.

70
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: I just don't feel that that's fair.

71
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: But I had a situation where someone and I can't

72
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: give too much detail because I don't I'm not trying

73
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: to make it about that, but it triggered this whole conversation.

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: So someone in my life that is a friend I

75
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: was doing certain things that I wasn't okay with that

76
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: was directly affecting me, and for a long time, I

77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: stayed quiet about it and I didn't say anything because

78
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. I am busy too,

79
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't even want to deal

80
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: with that right now. I'm just gonna let it go.

81
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: And I know better than to let that happen. But

82
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: this person continued to do thing after thing after thing

83
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: because I wasn't speaking up because I was being nice

84
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: because I'm busy or whatever. You want to call it,

85
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: or I was playing dumb. I guess whatever. Even if

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: I'm playing dumb, you're not dumb. So don't try to

87
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: act as if what you're doing isn't right, because if

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: it were the other way around, you wouldn't be okay

89
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: with it, right. So I think that's what triggered this

90
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: whole conversation, and I said it in something that I wrote,

91
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: this person, don't take my kindness for weakness, you know,

92
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: just because I am choosing to be a good person

93
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: and choose sing maybe not to ruffle any feathers or

94
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: open up a can of worms, like, don't take advantage

95
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: of that. And that's why I was like, I'm going

96
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: to talk about this on the pod because I think

97
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: it happens, and.

98
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I've.

99
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: Been guilty of it myself in my younger years. Because

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: now I'm really really intentional about not just you know,

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: preaching but or you know, talking about it, but walking

102
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: the talk, you know, like putting my words into action.

103
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: So I really really do my best to everything that

104
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: I talk to you guys about on this podcast to

105
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: really hold myself accountable and lead by example. So anyways,

106
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: I can't really think of a scenario. If something comes up,

107
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: I'll let you guys know something that maybe I took

108
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: someone's kindness for weakness. You know, Oh, I have a

109
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: perfect example. It just came up my mom, for instance.

110
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: My mom trusted me with her credit cards and with

111
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: her finances, and I made sure that all the bills

112
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: were paid okay, all the time the bills were taking

113
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: care of. Everything in the house was paid on time.

114
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: Everything was fine. But if I would go and you know,

115
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: shop for her because I was her personal shopper at

116
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: one point, i'd buy her clothes, I would buy myself

117
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: something as well, and I would just And I've told

118
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: you guys this before. You know, I'm not ashamed of it,

119
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: because I'm ashamed of my behavior. But I'm not ashamed

120
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: of what happened because it helped me learn how to

121
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: value money and now I know what it is to

122
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: work for my own But that was me taking my

123
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: mom's kindness for weakness. She was trusting me with something

124
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: and instead of me going to the store and just

125
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: buying what she needed. There was no need in the

126
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: world for me to say, I'm gonna buy myself some

127
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars shoes.

128
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: With my mom's card. Why would I do that? You

129
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: know what I mean?

130
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: And my mom would say, hey, like you know, and

131
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: she knew, but she would just I guess maybe didn't

132
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: want to ruffle any feathers or thought, you know what,

133
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: my daughter does a lot like whatever the case may be.

134
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: But then it got to the point where she couldn't anymore,

135
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: and it started this whole thing, and she asked me

136
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: to move out. And I couldn't even blame her because

137
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're right, I shouldn't have taken advantage of

138
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: the situation. And from that and from many other things

139
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: in my life, I have learned that, you know, I

140
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: need to treat people the way I want to be treated,

141
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: going back to this whole don't take.

142
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: People's kindness for weakness.

143
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: And I and someone asked me this on Dear Cheeky's once,

144
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: like should I change, Like I'm tired of being the

145
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: good friend and you know, of giving and giving and

146
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm not receiving. Then and I told that person, then

147
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: you need to find new friends. Don't change who you are,

148
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: just change the situation, change the scenario, change the scene,

149
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: change the characters. You know, And I had to remind

150
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: myself of that. I'm like, wait, I need to speak up,

151
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: even if it is going to ruffle some feathers and

152
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: open up a can of worms. I need to be

153
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: true to myself. I need to speak up and stand

154
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: up for myself, because who is if I don't.

155
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 2: There's no need.

156
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: There's no reason why I have to be disrespectful or

157
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: belittle anyone or be mean. I can say the truth

158
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: and call it sugarcoating or whatever you want, because there's

159
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: people that are like, you know, I say the things

160
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: the way they are and I don't care who gets

161
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: like I don't believe in that. I believe in saying

162
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: the truth and saying it with respect. But I need

163
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: to stand up for myself and not change who I

164
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: am because I know that there are people in my

165
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: life that are going to appreciate and value who I am.

166
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: And not to say that this person is a bad person,

167
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: because I love this person and this person is still

168
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: in my life. But it was just a situation that

169
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: I was just letting go and letting go and letting go,

170
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: and it was just causing me a lot of it

171
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: was starting to cause me resentment. And I'm not a

172
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: person that I don't like to hold that in my heart.

173
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: I've told you, guys this, It's just not how healthy.

174
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: Resentment causes so much bitterness, you know, and even disease eventually.

175
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: So I was like, something's happening, something's changing. I need

176
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: to speak about it. And I did, and I'm glad

177
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: I did. And I just want to remind you, guys.

178
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: And I don't want to make this longer than it

179
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: needs to be, but I just want to remind you, guys,

180
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: that don't let life, don't let certain people change who

181
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: you truly are at your core, the person that you

182
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: want to be, because you feel that down because you

183
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, the nice guy finishes last, the

184
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: nice woman finishes last. Especially as women, we feel like

185
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: we need to show up in a world that is

186
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: the man's world. It's really a woman's world, but but

187
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: we feel like we need to put up this like front,

188
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: like there's nothing wrong with being a wrong, vulnerable woman,

189
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: being true to yourself if that's what you are, and

190
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: you're just a tough bitch, and do you as long

191
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: as you're being true to yourself, your authentic self. But

192
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: the point is, and this is a note to myself

193
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: as well, don't change the way you do certain things

194
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: or the way you move in life because of other

195
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: people's actions and because they didn't value or appreciate what

196
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: you were doing in their life. Continue to be that person.

197
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: I promise you it will pay off. It will pay off,

198
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: It you will get You will reap what you sew eventually,

199
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: maybe not right now, maybe not with that person or

200
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: the next person, but eventually you will reap what you sow,

201
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: for good or for bad. So this is why I

202
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: always say, guys, the best way to live is living

203
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: with good intentions, walking with your head held high, treating

204
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: people nicely, doesn't matter who they are, what they do,

205
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: what they have, or what they don't have. Treat people

206
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: like human beings. And you're going to bump into people

207
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: that are mean, that are disrespectful, but it's all in

208
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: how you react to it. And we can't let people

209
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: push us around, even if we are nice. We have

210
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: to stand up for ourselves and we have to speak

211
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: our truth and stand for what we believe in. And

212
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: as basically what this episode is all about. And now

213
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: that we're on this subject, someone asked me once, how

214
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: are you happy with the rate the speed that things

215
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: are going and have gone in your career, and it's

216
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: all because you know, I.

217
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: Think that I'm pretty cool.

218
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: I don't know.

219
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: I don't like to speak about myself. It's it's very

220
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: weird for me.

221
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: But I can tell you, guys, I highly doubt that

222
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: there's anyone that I've encountered in this business or outside

223
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: of this business that can say that I was mean

224
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: to them, that I was you to them, that I

225
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: believe to them. I highly doubt that there's one person.

226
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: I'd be very surprised, actually, and if someone did, i'd apologize,

227
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: but I highly doubt it. And anyways, and they were

228
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: asking because there are certain artists that feel that they

229
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: need to have this persona of I'm a badass, don't

230
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: look at me when I walk in the room, don't

231
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: talk to me. I didn't think that that really existed.

232
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: I heard these crazy ass stories of people wanting certain

233
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: things in their green rooms, and you know, only this

234
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: type of whatever. You know, I heard something about some

235
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: red Eminem's once all this stuff is. It's real, guys,

236
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: it does exist. I was even surprised. I'm not necessarily

237
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: like that. I think sometimes I'm a little too cool.

238
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: My manager things that I'm a little like too lenient.

239
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: I guess that I don't ask for more. I'm just

240
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't ask for a lot, guys to be happy,

241
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: you know. And maybe I said maybe when they asked

242
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: me this question, maybe I would have been more successful

243
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: a lot quicker or selling out stadiums. Now, I don't know.

244
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: I am very happy with how things are going in

245
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: my career and how they've gone little by little, step

246
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: by step. I prefer it that way. But then I

247
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: think of people like Carol g for instance, that is

248
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: a mega superstar, and she is such a nice person

249
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: that I see her and I'm like, this is why

250
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: she's doing so well because she's a good person at heart.

251
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: She has great parents, a great family. She treats everyone

252
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: very nicely, very respectful. Every time I've seen her like

253
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: she is the sweetest And I get so happy to

254
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: see her selling out stadiums. And you may think, oh,

255
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: it happened quick for her. She's been doing it. She's

256
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: been in this game, guys for more than ten years.

257
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: I've heard stories of her in Miami going to bars

258
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: and wouldn't even sell it out, but.

259
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: She was tenacious.

260
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: She is now, like, look at her where she is

261
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: and I'm so happy and it makes me inspires me

262
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: to continue being who I am, even if there are

263
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: people that I'm going to cross paths with that are

264
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: going to take my kindness for weakness. I don't want

265
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: to change who I am, and not because I want

266
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: to say sell out a stadium, but because that's who

267
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: I really am. And I see Carol in the times

268
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: she's not faking it. That is really who she is.

269
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: I see it in her eyes. I know it, I

270
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: feel it, and it just you can't fake that, you

271
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, you just can't. And I

272
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: love that, and that inspires me to say, I'm going

273
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: to continue even if I keep getting screwed over by

274
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: people and it takes me a little longer, I know

275
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: that I'm going to get to where I'm meant to

276
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: get to. I don't have to be a person that

277
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: treats people a certain way because it makes me look better,

278
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: or treat people as less then because it makes me

279
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: look better and feel better. Like I just it's just

280
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: not in me. It's not who I am, and I'm

281
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: not even if I continue to get disappointed by many people.

282
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: And because someone told me the other day that I

283
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: was too nice because there was this person and again

284
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: I can't say names because I just can't. But there

285
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: was this person that has been very mean to me,

286
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: a complete asshole, okay, has done a lot of things

287
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: to hurt me, not only me, but people that I love.

288
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: And we were in a certain setting and I was

289
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: making myself a coffee and he was gonna make himself

290
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: a coffee, but I was in the way, so I

291
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: took it upon myself. After I made my coffee, I

292
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: began to brew his coffee. I felt it in my heart.

293
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: It was just who I even though this person.

294
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: Has hurt my heart very much.

295
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: I proceeded to brew his coffee and I was about

296
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: to you know, I just left it there and I

297
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: was gonna let him know, hey, the coffee's brewing.

298
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: Anyways. He didn't drink it.

299
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: He completely just rejected, and I was like, okay, fine,

300
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: I still was who I am. And not because I

301
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: need anything from that person, not because I owe this

302
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: person anything, not to look good with this person. I

303
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: just I felt it in my heart. And this other

304
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: person that I was talking to and I told them

305
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: the story, They're like, you're just too nice, Like why

306
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: would you do that this person has been why not

307
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: if I want to do it and menassin it comes

308
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: out of my heart. I'm not gonna stop that person

309
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: and their actions and what they've done stop me from

310
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: being who I am. I'm gonna continue to do what

311
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: feels good in my heart. Even if that person doesn't

312
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: appreciate it, that's their problem. I'm still gonna be me

313
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: no matter what, no matter who, I'm still gonna be

314
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: me because I owe a higher power a lot more.

315
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: And until I get tired.

316
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, guys, maybe maybe one day I'll wake up

317
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: and I'll say fuck this and fuck the world, and

318
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a bitch. I don't know, And if

319
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: that happens, I'll let you, guys know, I'd be like,

320
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm tired of being nice. I'm just

321
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a bitch everywhere I go. Maybe, and I'll

322
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: be straight up about it, you know, I'll I don't

323
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,119

324
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: don't see it happening. But if it happens, and I

325
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: just want to be a a diva one day that

326
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:07,679

327
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: the world. I don't know. I'll let you guys know,

333
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: energy to just smile and be a nice person even

334
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,960
