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

Speaker 1: and then when I see the sun, I'm like you late, okay, psycho,

Speaker 1: give yourself the note. You tell yourself, hey, was that
Speaker 1: a good comma? Yeah, that was a good calm. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the city calling too, just so that
