Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are last break of the
day on this Friday. It's been a good day, it's
been a good week, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey, you with the holidays approaching, in New Year's Eve
and everything, can I give you these reminders as a
closing remark just to.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
My base out there. You know, I got a base too.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'm tired of Donald Trump thinking he the only one
got a base, right, Yeah, I'm tired of that. Hey,
we got a base two on this show. We got
some good folks on this show.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
They actually care about their children, want the best life
they can have, trying to pursue happiness and success. Because
I don't really know anybody. I don't have people around
me that are not in the pursuit of success and happiness.
I like people around me that's trying to go to
heaven too.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I really do like.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I like moral people, man, I've discovered that about myself,
you know. Like this one guy that I met recently,
he told me, said, man, I just want to become
your friend. I said, bruh, I don't know how we're
gonna do that. Let's just go and be cool and now, man,
I want to be your friend and I thought about it.
I said, Brud, do you know the process that that
requires the men that I actually call my friends, the
(01:11):
process of becoming my friends, I said, Brud, don't worry
about that. We can just be cool. I said, I
really have all the friends I need right now. I
really do. If I just stay with the friends I
got to the tape, that'll be fine with me. And
so that's just one of the things I came up.
But what I really wanted to talk to you all
about is this right here, is about procrastination. I want
(01:32):
you all to be aware of it as we approach
the new year, because a lot of times if people
wait on the new year to make resolutions.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
In the new year, I'm gonna do this, and I'm
gonna do the new year, I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Can I tell you something, everything you're talking about for
the new year, why don't you start now?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Why not? Now?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm telling you, man, if you practice procrastination, procrastination will
become your practice. It's really that simple. If you get
it okay with delaying stuff often enough, then pretty soon
you will discover you won't have a problem delaying anything.
(02:09):
And the time to act is now. It's right now, y'all.
Tomorrow's not really promised anyway. But if you understood that
and you started acting now, you would be amazed how
acting right now can change your life. Stop looking for
the perfect time to begin something, because the perfect time
(02:30):
hardly ever lines itself up.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
You know when the perfect time is. Now.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Now is the perfect time. It's the perfect time to
pursue your dreams. It's the perfect time to try to
get in shape. It's the perfect time to try to
change your mindset from negative to positive. It's the perfect
time to make it right with your mother. It's the
perfect time to mend the relationships with your father. It's
(03:00):
the perfect time to forgive somebody. It's the perfect time
to move forward and stop looking in your past. Right
now is the perfect time. Stop putting everything into.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Delay, color, delayed, delayed, delay.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I'm telling you, man, it becomes a habit, and then
you pursue things differently when there is no sense of
urgency your success and happiness for yourself, for your family.
You should be performing these things with a sense of urgency. Look, man,
(03:39):
God reacts to your level of faith. You are rewarded
according to your faith. We are all where we are
because we thought ourselves to this place. Now because you
see somebody with more money than you, that don't make
that person.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Better than you, happier than you, none of that.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's perfectly fine, man, to have a nice home, a
nice family. I admire people, man, who go to work,
who buy transportation for their family, who live in homes,
who take their children to school, participate in their activities,
you know, or get on the school board, become coaches
(04:19):
and things of that nature. Man, I admire people like that.
The majority of people in this world in that way.
You know, I don't ever look at the fact that
I've become this other type of person and I compare
that to everybody else's life, because man, I understand.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I get it. Man. Do you know some of my
best friends are regular folks, what we call regular folks.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
My best friends are not in Hollywood other than seject entertainer. Really, man,
that's like the dopest dude I know, like we boys
for real. Other than that, Man, I have people I'm
cool with. Say it is my dude. That's my dude. Man,
I'm talking about I've been knowing this cat since eighty nine.
(05:03):
You know, we've never had a dispute and argument. You've
never had a harsh words. We never had of an
exchange of ideas where we didn't agree. You know, I
just I talk about this things.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But it's so important in life man to have relationships.
But guess what if a person ain't cool to be around,
stop being around them. You don't owe nobody your time.
Association brings on participation. Somebody once told me to describe
your three closest friends. He said, Now, after you look
at that piece of paper and the description of your
three closest friends, do you realize you just described yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
If everybody you.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Hang around gossip all the time, you gonna end up gossiping.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know, people's talking.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
We were on the golf course one time and somebody
asked me, man, why are you and your dudes y'all
always talking about money?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Dog?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What you want to talk about? What you want to
talk about? Because we married, we gotta go home. So
this conversation you trying to have with a this ain't
fit to fly. I'm not finna be on TMZ. I'm
after the golf game. I'm going home. No, I don't
want to go on the golf trip with you. And
the Buddies to the Dominican. No, we can play golf
(06:16):
right here. I got to go home, that's all.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Man.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Just get around people that's like minded. Have yourself a
great day today, man, enjoy your week here. We'll see
y'all Monday morning. God willing. I know that little clothes
remarks kind of all over the place, but that's how
I felt today. I'm all over the place. Line yourself up,
