Struggling with the highs and lows of single fatherhood? Join me, Jack, alongside Young Felipe (My Oldest Son) and Dude (My Youngest Son), as we unravel the intricate dance of parenting with love, patience, and a dash of humor. We share our personal stories and motivations, aiming to inspire fathers everywhere to be better than they were yesterday. Through reflections on stubborn personalities and evolving parent-child dynamics, we discuss the importance of growth and learning from both our mistakes and our kids. With Felipe on the brink of high school graduation, we also consider the exciting yet challenging transition into the workforce.
Ever thought those starter jobs were just a necessary evil? We take a deeper look into these so-called "bullshit jobs" and the hidden value they offer. From learning the ropes of discipline and perseverance to the art of climbing the career ladder, our conversation highlights the significance of positive attitudes and building meaningful workplace relationships. It's all about resilience and never settling for mediocrity, as we share our experiences of rapid career progression and the long-term benefits that come with it.
In the world of customer service, humor often becomes a shield against the unpredictability of human interaction. We explore the camaraderie found among colleagues, even when faced with feelings of being overworked and underappreciated. Reflecting on the challenges faced in less-than-ideal jobs, we emphasize perseverance and the importance of carefully evaluating career moves. Every job has its set of hurdles, but with the right mindset and humor, even the toughest situations can teach invaluable lessons.

a bunch of them.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I ain't gonna hold you, but that's what I try to
tell people a lot of times.
A lot of days I don't even getup for myself.
I get up knowing I got toprovide for them and be a good
example for them, because, eventhough I got some chinks in my
arm, I did some shit in my pastthat I'm not too proud of.
It's to make myself a betterperson in the eyes of them and
(02:01):
showing the progression and theycan see me grow as a person and
us learn together, because Iain't gonna hold you, me and
y'all, felipe here.
Boy, boy, boy, boy.
Do we get along all the time?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I ain't gonna lie, we don't.
If you got two stubborn, justclashing is really hard to get
along.
I'm not going to lie, but wemake it work somehow.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, we do.
I ain't even going to hold youLike I was telling somebody.
I tell people all the time.
I might not even tell him, buta lot of people that know me and
I see the progression my sonhas made from jet high to now.
I tell people all the time I'mproud of my son because it's
(02:49):
it's it's hard being a highschool student, um about to
graduate, um hey, you ain'tanything.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You don't get to this point, dude nah, I ain't gonna
lie, that joint came up fast.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
But it's, hey, it feels good though, don't it?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, finally gonna be out of there, out of the same
wall over and over again.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But, like y'all might not know like it's to be a
single father is probably thehardest thing that you'll ever,
ever do.
So I gotta give my salutes tothese women out here, honestly,
Because it's hard.
(03:33):
I ain't even going to hold you,I ain't even think it was going
to be this hard.
I mean shoot, you just got tofigure out some stuff.
You just got to figure out.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, you're going to learn along the way.
Ain't going to lie, because offthe jump you most definitely
ain't going to know what to do.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Boy shit.
Hey, you're going to have tokeep it a book.
Did I know what I was doing offthe jump?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
No, you most definitely got to adapt and
change.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So from when we first started living together to now,
have you not seen change in ourrelationship?
No, I living together to nowhave you not see change in our,
in our relationship now?
It's most definitely changed,boy shit, because I was a tyrant
.
I ain't gonna hold y'all, boy.
I came in, but that's how Isaid, that's how I feel like
(04:19):
that's the way I was soundingevery day when I look back and
people ask me what made youchange.
I had to think about it,because do I like somebody
yelling at me?
Is it productive to yell atsomebody?
I understand we get frustratedand we feel like somebody's not
listening to us, but was itcounterproductive?
(04:41):
Did it help you?
Did it help me?
Hell, nah, the only thing itdid was push us further apart.
Um, because, like, if you likeme and him have conversations
about entrepreneurship andfuture and risk versus reward,
over and over, and over and overand over again.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And it's crazy because, like I tell him, he can
teach me, and I can teach himstuff, because the way I tell
people all the time is, when youput me in a casket or you put
me in a box or I'm closed-minded, that means it's time for me to
die.
So every day I look forward tolearning.
(05:23):
I can learn from dude or you,or I can learn from somebody's
grandparent.
You get what I'm saying do youfeel like?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
you learn in every aspect of your day yeah, it
don't matter if I'm learningsomething small or big.
Every day, I feel like I'mlearning something regardless.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So I'm sorry y'all, micah, micah wants to be a dog
right now.
Um, but what?
You saying it?
Okay, how would?
How were you feeling when youfirst got your first job?
Or you knew that you werehaving to get a job?
When I got my first job beforethat and I told you you had
(06:06):
before, oh, before, when I hadto get a job.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I'm not gonna lie, it felt like I was just forced
into something I ain't knownothing about.
But over time I realized, eventhough the means to get me there
wasn't what like I would agreewith, it's still something that
I most definitely appreciatewhen I look back on it now,
(06:31):
because my mindset wascompletely different back then
than what it is now.
And if you was to ask me backthen what I thought about a job
and what you ask me now, I'llgive you two completely
different responses.
Like now I do anything before Ilose my job, but back then I
wasn't even trying to get a jobor I didn't care about having a
job.
I really advise you againstgetting one back then.
(06:53):
But now I tell you, get it toget the work experience in so
you can know what you're jumpinginto as you're going into an
adult to an adult, okay.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So there's.
There's a funny term that meand I have and and that I use a
lot.
Some might call it a starterjob, right, but what?
Do I call it?
A bs job, right?
Yeah, and a lot of people like,why do you call it a bullshit
job?
The reason why I call it abullshit job is because this is
(07:32):
your introductory into thebullshit, into the workforce, to
where you're starting to getyour feet wet and to get
acquainted what the mindset thatit is to have a job, to get
there on time, to do everythingyou're supposed to do, to put
yourself in a better positionand not become stagnant.
(07:56):
Because, zai, how manypositions have you had at your
job now?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I've been there for a year and almost a half, so I
don't have three differentpositions.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So basically, I got a raise within the first five
months of being there and do youfeel like that was a like every
time that I told you keep it up, keep striving for more, keep
striving for more, keep striving.
If they offer it, take it.
If they offer it, take it.
If they offer it, take it.
Do you feel like that advicewas good or do you feel like
that advice was bad?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh, most definitely good, because it opened me up to
be able to spend more and to beable to afford more, because if
you just want to stay at thesame level, you most definitely
not going to be able to grow andwhen you look back and see
where you came from, you'll beable to acknowledge how much you
overcame and how much you wasable to struggle through and get
(08:54):
through to get to the pointwhere you want to be at.
So anytime a point come upwhere I'm like this point, like
I what am I going to do thispoint so hard?
I look back and think aboutwhat all I overcame and said if
I can get through that, I canget through this with ease, and
that's all it is.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I mean that's.
But, to be honest, what youjust said is every aspect of
life you going to get.
You going to get like I tellpeople all the time you throw
shit at a wall, you won't seewhat sticks.
And Like, if you don't get theexperience, you don't get the
(09:35):
growth, you don't strive formore.
You're going to forever be hita ceiling and say, oh, this is
good enough for me.
And if you're not pushed to getmore, it's like bro, you can do
more, you can do more.
You're not gonna go for you, youain't gonna like, like we say
all the time, like me, like youhear me say it um, aim for the
(09:55):
stars, land on the moon.
So you're, you're, you're,you're steady, climbing that
ladder, trying to reach a star.
That's what your dream is.
You might just you mighttomorrow reach the moon and you
realize you got so much furtherto go.
That means you'll never have aceiling, and that's why they
come up with the saying toinfinity and beyond.
(10:17):
Yeah, this is beyond, but I gotinfinity to go.
Um, because how many times dowe see people that are stagnant
but they complain every fuckingday?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
oh, I see it every day, but I'm like it was
millions of people who would payto have your position or have a
chance to go back and redo thedecisions they made in their
career and what job choices theydid.
But if you go somewhere and youcomplain about it every day,
(10:51):
you're just making it worse onyourself.
Whatever you do, try to makethe best out of any predicament.
You win, no matter what thecause is.
Like people at my job theycomplain every day and it's like
what are you complaining for?
Honestly, I go in there and Ijust try to like you, try to
make as many friends as you can,and it's not even the fact
(11:12):
where you want to have friends.
It's the fact that they makethe time go by faster than what
it could be.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Do you think there's one person that looks forward to
seeing you there?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, you can name a few people Because, like, when
there's people there at your job, it's people you look forward
to seeing, even if you don'ttalk to them outside of your job
.
They make your job 10 timeseasier and 10 times better than
what it could be, because if youconstantly sit there not
talking, not doing none of that,honestly that's making your job
10 times worse and boring.
(11:45):
And who wants to have a boringjob, even if you got an office
job or anything?
Try to make connectionswherever you go, cause you don't
know what type of opportunitiesthey can open up for you to
have something better in yourlife.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Hell, I can tell you I can get them, beg you back on
it what happens if you get fired?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
If I get fired.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, no, no, no, check this out if you get fired and
he asks you hey, do you have areference?
And I know, I know old boy atthe job, shit, I fought with him
yeah he gonna got down.

she ain't trying hard enough youlet me know when you get that
joke, okay oh yeah, I got it assoon as you have, yeah but I

your medicine, you gotta takeyour medicine.
I said you just put it in yourmouth and swallow.
She told me a song.
She looked me dead in my face.
I'll swallow anything for you.
(15:49):
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I ain't know what to say.
I've even had a dude.
He's sitting there handcuffsand you know we real close to
atlanta yeah you get what I'msaying he real close to atlanta.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, yeah, real what I'm saying he we're real close,
yeah, yeah yeah, real close.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I'm talking about had his nails painted and
everything.
All right.
If that's your lifestyle,that's up to you.
I don't give a um.
But they tell us hey, he's beentased three times.
We had to fight him to get himin handcuffs.
We just need a clearance.
Cool, no problem.
He looks me dead in my facewhen I got these handcuffs.
(16:33):
I'm going to fuck you.
Whoa, I'm thinking in my head.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Please don't let this motherfucker out of these
goddamn handcuffs, what the hell.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The only thing I thought about was Cat Williams
and Damon in the bathroom.
I'm like man, I'm tellingpeople.
I said I don't know what thefuck I said.
I think they pick on me becauseI'm the smallest one out of the
bunch.
But do these motherfuckers knowI'm the worst one to mess with?
But anyway, risk versus rewardwe talk about that all the time.
(17:05):
Sometimes you gotta Truckthrough the bullshit To get to
the end.
You gotta take those risks Toget to the reward.
Sometimes it's not aboutmonetary, it's about the reward
could be, because I ain't evengonna hold you.
90% of these damn jobs out hereAin't gonna tell you.
(17:28):
When you doing something good,they're not gonna congratulate.
When you do something right,they're not even gonna tell you.
They're proud of you, theyappreciate you, and none of that
bullshit.
At one time a year, when itcomes around For employee
appreciation, they gonna giveyou some bullshit.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Employee appreciation .
That's a date.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, they get, like they got um at some companies
and corporations they actuallygive you employee appreciation
days um to where they give you agift, they feed you and stuff
like that um, but a lot of timesthey be feeding you like
they'll feed you some stuff likethe food be decent, I ain't
gonna hold you, or they'll getit catered or something like
(18:10):
that.
And sometimes, like, I've beensome places where, bro, they
give you some nice shit.
I've been in some places like,and they give you got doing it.
You feel like, bro, this isreally what y'all give me, as
much as I bust my ass aroundhere.
This is what y'all give me.
This is how y'all show y'allgive me as much as I bust my ass
around here.
This is what y'all give me.
This is how y'all show y'allappreciate me.
(18:31):
But compared to anotherdepartment, bro, they going all
out.
These motherfuckers got shrimpand grits.
This motherfucker got lobsters.
These motherfuckers got steaks.
Bro, we over here eating salmonpatties and goddamn beanie
weenies.
But long story short a lot oftimes we don't do it for that.
A lot of times it's us going towork just to see certain people
(18:55):
and laugh with certain people,because they do make our nights
go by better.
They do make things better.
But back to risk versus reward.
Um, I've realized by working inthe workforce a lot of times
you do get the shit in the stickbecause a lot of times people
will shit on you and shortchange you and not treat you
(19:20):
what you're worth.
You get what I'm saying andit's fucked up that you even
gotta even tell people I'm worthmore.
Like I was talking to my motherthe other day, I said shit, we
in modern day slavery stillwe're in perceived slavery.
Do you know why I say that?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Because we still get work just as much.
They just give us enough tocome back the next day.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Boy, you do listen to me, huh, somewhat.
You do listen to me, huh.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Somewhat.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You do listen to me.
Artificial crab meat, huh.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Mm-hmm.
Artificial crab meat.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
But what he's hitting on is they pay you wages, you
pay for somewhere to stay, butthey don't give you enough to be
able to be like shit.
I'm sick, I'm good, I'mcomfortable.
They to be able to be like shit.
I'm sick, I'm good, I'mcomfortable they give you enough
to where man shit, everything'sgoing up in price.
I can't afford this.
I can't afford that shit.
(20:17):
I need more.
So I'm forced to work overtime,I'm forced to do extra, I'm
forced to pull long hours.
Hell, I might even be forced togo get another fucking job.
Hell, I might be forced togoddamn go on Feet Finder.
I might be forced to goddamnstart an OnlyFans.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I don't know if I'm going to get there for it,
though, but some folks do reachthat point though.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But you got to understand if your back's
against the wall, can you saywhat you will and won't do.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Honestly, if I get to that point, I don't know.
I'm just letting you know Iain't going to no damn Diddy
Park.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
How much you paying, though I don't know the way.
They said that room was lookinggoddamn.

He a billionaire, right yeah, almost definitely a
meal each.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Bro shoot.
I guarantee the crazy partabout it is he probably did NDAs
out the ass.
But that goes back to tell yourisk versus reward.
How much does your moralcompass and what you stand on
and what you feel like is toomuch or too little are you
willing to go for?
Is?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
there a price.
I feel like there's some thingsthat you stand on that you most
definitely know that you're notgoing for really.
Yeah, but people say if theprice is right bro, let me tell
you something.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
that's like when people hit you with that weird
ass comment like saying, oh,would you, we're going to go
left field.

We talking about some Jeepers,creepers.
You say that now.
You say that now.
I do say that now I'm going tosit down and throw at you.
Well, the only thing I do iscome over and spend the night
(25:31):
one time.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But a lot of it can happen in that one time though
no listen to me.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
That's eight hours.
The only thing I do is comeover and spend the night with me
.
One time I give you $3,000.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
$3,000?
.
Just spend the night, that's it.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I ain't say what that entails.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Oh Well, just spend the night, that's it.
I ain't say what else entails.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
um well, $3,000 do sound night, but I don't know
but, like I said, look, you seewhat you over there thinking
yeah, cause I ain't gonna lie,it's different when you talking
about a dude.
That sound completely differentit's the same thing for a job
risk versus reward.
When you're talking about adude, that's something
completely different.
It's the same thing for a job.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Risk versus reward.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Can you put your moral compass out the window to
do that?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I mean honestly.
Some folks do throw their moralcompass out the window when it
comes to providing for theirfamilies or a loved one, though
so like, at the end of the day,it's most definitely folks who
do so there's a risk we're notsaying what the definitive
reward is, but there's always arisk with the decisions that you
make.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, no matter how big, how small, how egregious
that choice is, you still makinga.
Is you still making a choice?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
You still making a decision, so is that saying it's
just?
Is that saying it's right?
Because when you took this job,they told you how much you were
going to be making an hourright?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Did they tell you everything you were going to be?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
doing.
No, when I first started theydid, they did, yeah, they told
you everything to the finestdegree.
Oh no, they, they said the bareminimum they said the bare
minimum yeah that what they justto get you to accept yeah, but
they most definitely got youdoing some extra stuff they
didn't have in the fine print.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Of course that says all duties and tasks that are
assigned to you in the fineprint, right?
So how many times in your headsaid boy, shoot, I don't get
paid enough for this.
How many times have you saidthat?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Oh, I ain't never said that.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You don't say shoot.
I know I did.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
My first job was working at a Kmart, bro, nah man
, I was like All I tell myselfis I'm getting paid for it
either way, so I'm just gonnahave to get through it and deal
with it.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So that's like we be telling people all the time Suck
it up, deal with it.
Now Just get through it, causeif you complain at the beginning
of it, it's just get through it, because if you complain with
it, complain at the beginning ofit it's just going to draw it
on to where it lasts so muchlonger, to where you're sitting
there like, bro, what the hell?
This, this ain't worth it,because some people get to that
(28:27):
point where they want to quitand it's.
It's funny, because you, youdon't never know what that
breaking point is, becausethat's why people will look for
another job.
Do you agree?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
yeah, especially if it's a seen as an opportunity
for them to do more.
But with that being said, youain't gonna never know what's in
the next fine print or what'sout the next fine print.
The grass might look greener onthe other side, but down there
it's always fertilized.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Ooh or fertilized with my bullshit.
Yeah, hey thank y'all forjoining us for Fold.

Speaker 1 (01:24):

Yo, it's young jack son and whoare you to me, man?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
you know his oldest son out of the bunch, yeah it's
a bunch of them.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I ain't gonna hold you, but that's what I try to
tell people a lot of times.
A lot of days I don't even getup for myself.
I get up knowing I got toprovide for them and be a good
example for them, because, eventhough I got some chinks in my
arm, I did some shit in my pastthat I'm not too proud of.
It's to make myself a betterperson in the eyes of them and
(02:01):
showing the progression and theycan see me grow as a person and
us learn together, because Iain't gonna hold you, me and
y'all, felipe here.
Boy, boy, boy, boy.
Do we get along all the time?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I ain't gonna lie, we don't.
If you got two stubborn, justclashing is really hard to get
along.
I'm not going to lie, but wemake it work somehow.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, we do.
I ain't even going to hold youLike I was telling somebody.
I tell people all the time.
I might not even tell him, buta lot of people that know me and
I see the progression my sonhas made from jet high to now.
I tell people all the time I'mproud of my son because it's
(02:49):
it's it's hard being a highschool student, um about to
graduate, um hey, you ain'tanything.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You don't get to this point, dude nah, I ain't gonna
lie, that joint came up fast.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
But it's, hey, it feels good though, don't it?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, finally gonna be out of there, out of the same
wall over and over again.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But, like y'all might not know like it's to be a
single father is probably thehardest thing that you'll ever,
ever do.
So I gotta give my salutes tothese women out here, honestly,
Because it's hard.
(03:33):
I ain't even going to hold you,I ain't even think it was going
to be this hard.
I mean shoot, you just got tofigure out some stuff.
You just got to figure out.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, you're going to learn along the way.
Ain't going to lie, because offthe jump you most definitely
ain't going to know what to do.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Boy shit.
Hey, you're going to have tokeep it a book.
Did I know what I was doing offthe jump?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
No, you most definitely got to adapt and
change.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So from when we first started living together to now,
have you not seen change in ourrelationship?
No, I living together to nowhave you not see change in our,
in our relationship now?
It's most definitely changed,boy shit, because I was a tyrant
.
I ain't gonna hold y'all, boy.
I came in, but that's how Isaid, that's how I feel like
(04:19):
that's the way I was soundingevery day when I look back and
people ask me what made youchange.
I had to think about it,because do I like somebody
yelling at me?
Is it productive to yell atsomebody?
I understand we get frustratedand we feel like somebody's not
listening to us, but was itcounterproductive?
(04:41):
Did it help you?
Did it help me?
Hell, nah, the only thing itdid was push us further apart.
Um, because, like, if you likeme and him have conversations
about entrepreneurship andfuture and risk versus reward,
over and over, and over and overand over again.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And it's crazy because, like I tell him, he can
teach me, and I can teach himstuff, because the way I tell
people all the time is, when youput me in a casket or you put
me in a box or I'm closed-minded, that means it's time for me to
die.
So every day I look forward tolearning.
(05:23):
I can learn from dude or you,or I can learn from somebody's
grandparent.
You get what I'm saying do youfeel like?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
you learn in every aspect of your day yeah, it
don't matter if I'm learningsomething small or big.
Every day, I feel like I'mlearning something regardless.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So I'm sorry y'all, micah, micah wants to be a dog
right now.
Um, but what?
You saying it?
Okay, how would?
How were you feeling when youfirst got your first job?
Or you knew that you werehaving to get a job?
When I got my first job beforethat and I told you you had
(06:06):
before, oh, before, when I hadto get a job.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I'm not gonna lie, it felt like I was just forced
into something I ain't knownothing about.
But over time I realized, eventhough the means to get me there
wasn't what like I would agreewith, it's still something that
I most definitely appreciatewhen I look back on it now,
(06:31):
because my mindset wascompletely different back then
than what it is now.
And if you was to ask me backthen what I thought about a job
and what you ask me now, I'llgive you two completely
different responses.
Like now I do anything before Ilose my job, but back then I
wasn't even trying to get a jobor I didn't care about having a
job.
I really advise you againstgetting one back then.
(06:53):
But now I tell you, get it toget the work experience in so
you can know what you're jumpinginto as you're going into an
adult to an adult, okay.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So there's.
There's a funny term that meand I have and and that I use a
lot.
Some might call it a starterjob, right, but what?
Do I call it?
A bs job, right?
Yeah, and a lot of people like,why do you call it a bullshit
job?
The reason why I call it abullshit job is because this is
(07:32):
your introductory into thebullshit, into the workforce, to
where you're starting to getyour feet wet and to get
acquainted what the mindset thatit is to have a job, to get
there on time, to do everythingyou're supposed to do, to put
yourself in a better positionand not become stagnant.
(07:56):
Because, zai, how manypositions have you had at your
job now?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I've been there for a year and almost a half, so I
don't have three differentpositions.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
So basically, I got a raise within the first five
months of being there and do youfeel like that was a like every
time that I told you keep it up, keep striving for more, keep
striving for more, keep striving.
If they offer it, take it.
If they offer it, take it.
If they offer it, take it.
Do you feel like that advicewas good or do you feel like
that advice was bad?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh, most definitely good, because it opened me up to
be able to spend more and to beable to afford more, because if
you just want to stay at thesame level, you most definitely
not going to be able to grow andwhen you look back and see
where you came from, you'll beable to acknowledge how much you
overcame and how much you wasable to struggle through and get
(08:54):
through to get to the pointwhere you want to be at.
So anytime a point come upwhere I'm like this point, like
I what am I going to do thispoint so hard?
I look back and think aboutwhat all I overcame and said if
I can get through that, I canget through this with ease, and
that's all it is.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I mean that's.
But, to be honest, what youjust said is every aspect of
life you going to get.
You going to get like I tellpeople all the time you throw
shit at a wall, you won't seewhat sticks.
And Like, if you don't get theexperience, you don't get the
(09:35):
growth, you don't strive formore.
You're going to forever be hita ceiling and say, oh, this is
good enough for me.
And if you're not pushed to getmore, it's like bro, you can do
more, you can do more.
You're not gonna go for you, youain't gonna like, like we say
all the time, like me, like youhear me say it um, aim for the
(09:55):
stars, land on the moon.
So you're, you're, you're,you're steady, climbing that
ladder, trying to reach a star.
That's what your dream is.
You might just you mighttomorrow reach the moon and you
realize you got so much furtherto go.
That means you'll never have aceiling, and that's why they
come up with the saying toinfinity and beyond.
(10:17):
Yeah, this is beyond, but I gotinfinity to go.
Um, because how many times dowe see people that are stagnant
but they complain every fuckingday?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
oh, I see it every day, but I'm like it was
millions of people who would payto have your position or have a
chance to go back and redo thedecisions they made in their
career and what job choices theydid.
But if you go somewhere and youcomplain about it every day,
(10:51):
you're just making it worse onyourself.
Whatever you do, try to makethe best out of any predicament.
You win, no matter what thecause is.
Like people at my job theycomplain every day and it's like
what are you complaining for?
Honestly, I go in there and Ijust try to like you, try to
make as many friends as you can,and it's not even the fact
(11:12):
where you want to have friends.
It's the fact that they makethe time go by faster than what
it could be.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Do you think there's one person that looks forward to
seeing you there?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, you can name a few people Because, like, when
there's people there at your job, it's people you look forward
to seeing, even if you don'ttalk to them outside of your job
.
They make your job 10 timeseasier and 10 times better than
what it could be, because if youconstantly sit there not
talking, not doing none of that,honestly that's making your job
10 times worse and boring.
(11:45):
And who wants to have a boringjob, even if you got an office
job or anything?
Try to make connectionswherever you go, cause you don't
know what type of opportunitiesthey can open up for you to
have something better in yourlife.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Hell, I can tell you I can get them, beg you back on
it what happens if you get fired?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
If I get fired.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, no, no, no, check this out if you get fired and
he asks you hey, do you have areference?
And I know, I know old boy atthe job, shit, I fought with him
yeah he gonna got down.
Hey, bro, I need you to gottenon.
Do, do, do, do for me, and thathelps out a lot.
I know one person that looksDid you work?
Who, bro?
Hey, can I have your number?
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
we can't, we ain't talking about him.
But you know he said he saw meoutside of school walking one
day Stop playing.
I'm dead serious.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Boy, he better hit you with that, mr Hubert.
You know what Mr Hubert is,don't you?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I don't know what that is.
Herbert the pervert, bro, ohwhoa.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I got some popsicles in the basement.
Come on over, god, darn youstrong-arm paper boy, you coming
over to tell me the good newswhy he finna hit you with that.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
He gonna think so I'm definitely not going for that
though.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
But you know what's crazy though?
Yeah, it's crazy how, when youbrought it to me and I ran you
to play and you, you weresitting like are you you?
You right, he is trying to getme.
And the crazy part about it is,remember we told uncle, will me
the same way?
This shit happens.
This shit happens Because Imean, but like no cap, this shit
(13:36):
didn't happen to me too, butit's like the weirdest things
happen to you at work.
Like I'll do you a funnyinstance.
I was working at a job man.
I know this is going to soundfucked up, but you know I'm a
little bit jaded.
Anyway, somebody comes and getsmy attention.
(14:00):
Hey, can you come over here fora second?
I'm thinking they need helpwith something.
This lady in a wheelchair, bro,and I ain't talking about, like
she had her legs and all right,but she, I was like, okay, but
(14:23):
it looked like something wasfucked up about her.
So I was like, okay, sheprobably needs some help or
something.
You know, because I'm in a jobof customer service.
So I mean, what's up?
How you got help?
The lady tried to ask me for mynumber, bro.
I didn't know what to say, so Iwalked away.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
You walked away, you didn't say nothing, you didn't
get it.
Oh, say so, I walked away.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You walked, you didn't say nothing, you didn't
get it.
Oh, I'm sorry y'all, I got afucked up sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I'm fucked up, I ain't gonna lie to y'all I'm
messed up, I'm, I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I got a messed up sense of humor.
I ain't gonna lie to y'all bro.
I was sitting there feeling bad,like at least she's dry, but
she ain't trying hard enough youlet me know when you get that
joke, okay oh yeah, I got it assoon as you have, yeah but I
(15:26):
mean, stuff happens all the time, like we were dealing with
somebody one time and the personI'm like ma'am, you gotta take
your medicine, you gotta takeyour medicine.
I said you just put it in yourmouth and swallow.
She told me a song.
She looked me dead in my face.
I'll swallow anything for you.
(15:49):
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I ain't know what to say.
I've even had a dude.
He's sitting there handcuffsand you know we real close to
atlanta yeah you get what I'msaying he real close to atlanta.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, yeah, real what I'm saying he we're real close,
yeah, yeah yeah, real close.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I'm talking about had his nails painted and
everything.
All right.
If that's your lifestyle,that's up to you.
I don't give a um.
But they tell us hey, he's beentased three times.
We had to fight him to get himin handcuffs.
We just need a clearance.
Cool, no problem.
He looks me dead in my facewhen I got these handcuffs.
(16:33):
I'm going to fuck you.
Whoa, I'm thinking in my head.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Please don't let this motherfucker out of these
goddamn handcuffs, what the hell.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
The only thing I thought about was Cat Williams
and Damon in the bathroom.
I'm like man, I'm tellingpeople.
I said I don't know what thefuck I said.
I think they pick on me becauseI'm the smallest one out of the
bunch.
But do these motherfuckers knowI'm the worst one to mess with?
But anyway, risk versus rewardwe talk about that all the time.
(17:05):
Sometimes you gotta Truckthrough the bullshit To get to
the end.
You gotta take those risks Toget to the reward.
Sometimes it's not aboutmonetary, it's about the reward
could be, because I ain't evengonna hold you.
90% of these damn jobs out hereAin't gonna tell you.
(17:28):
When you doing something good,they're not gonna congratulate.
When you do something right,they're not even gonna tell you.
They're proud of you, theyappreciate you, and none of that
bullshit.
At one time a year, when itcomes around For employee
appreciation, they gonna giveyou some bullshit.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Employee appreciation .
That's a date.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, they get, like they got um at some companies
and corporations they actuallygive you employee appreciation
days um to where they give you agift, they feed you and stuff
like that um, but a lot of timesthey be feeding you like
they'll feed you some stuff likethe food be decent, I ain't
gonna hold you, or they'll getit catered or something like
(18:10):
that.
And sometimes, like, I've beensome places where, bro, they
give you some nice shit.
I've been in some places like,and they give you got doing it.
You feel like, bro, this isreally what y'all give me, as
much as I bust my ass aroundhere.
This is what y'all give me.
This is how y'all show y'allgive me as much as I bust my ass
around here.
This is what y'all give me.
This is how y'all show y'allappreciate me.
(18:31):
But compared to anotherdepartment, bro, they going all
out.
These motherfuckers got shrimpand grits.
This motherfucker got lobsters.
These motherfuckers got steaks.
Bro, we over here eating salmonpatties and goddamn beanie
weenies.
But long story short a lot oftimes we don't do it for that.
A lot of times it's us going towork just to see certain people
(18:55):
and laugh with certain people,because they do make our nights
go by better.
They do make things better.
But back to risk versus reward.
Um, I've realized by working inthe workforce a lot of times
you do get the shit in the stickbecause a lot of times people
will shit on you and shortchange you and not treat you
(19:20):
what you're worth.
You get what I'm saying andit's fucked up that you even
gotta even tell people I'm worthmore.
Like I was talking to my motherthe other day, I said shit, we
in modern day slavery stillwe're in perceived slavery.
Do you know why I say that?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Because we still get work just as much.
They just give us enough tocome back the next day.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Boy, you do listen to me, huh, somewhat.
You do listen to me, huh.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Somewhat.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You do listen to me.
Artificial crab meat, huh.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Mm-hmm.
Artificial crab meat.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
But what he's hitting on is they pay you wages, you
pay for somewhere to stay, butthey don't give you enough to be
able to be like shit.
I'm sick, I'm good, I'mcomfortable.
They to be able to be like shit.
I'm sick, I'm good, I'mcomfortable they give you enough
to where man shit, everything'sgoing up in price.
I can't afford this.
I can't afford that shit.
(20:17):
I need more.
So I'm forced to work overtime,I'm forced to do extra, I'm
forced to pull long hours.
Hell, I might even be forced togo get another fucking job.
Hell, I might be forced togoddamn go on Feet Finder.
I might be forced to goddamnstart an OnlyFans.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I don't know if I'm going to get there for it,
though, but some folks do reachthat point though.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But you got to understand if your back's
against the wall, can you saywhat you will and won't do.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Honestly, if I get to that point, I don't know.
I'm just letting you know Iain't going to no damn Diddy
Park.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
How much you paying, though I don't know the way.
They said that room was lookinggoddamn.
They said that motherfucker hadwhat 750 dildos in a room,
brodamn.
They said that motherfucker hadwhat 750 dildos in a room, bro.
I bet you that motherfucker hadbig ones, small ones, long ones
, big ones, thick ones.
Woah, you really wanna takethat check.
Nah, I ain't gonna Nah, causethere's a reason why that
(21:22):
motherfucker's up there drinkingCambodian breast milk and
talking about some take that.
Take that what.
You ain't seen, the clips Iain't seen the clips when he was
out there on the road and he upthere doing a Harlem shake Like

Speaker 1 (21:37):
How many times you think you done told a?
Nigga take that I don't know,had to be over $100,000 though.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
How much money you think he paid them folks.
Speaker 1 (21:47):

Speaker 1 (24:01):
It's a did you just check your watch?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
yeah, I know I ain't got one on it's alright, but
this is what it says, though,with us realizing the day and
age that we live in, why is itthat we have people that sneak
around and sneak and geek, thatdo those things because they
want to, but they're scared,they're afraid to come out the
(24:28):
closet and to reveal to theirloved ones because they're
afraid to be judged.
So how do you know what theyall didn't start off with?
Boy shit, I give you $50 forthe X, y and Z they might need
gas to get home.
Boy shit, you said your rentneed to be paid.
(24:50):
It's either you do this and I'mgonna go ahead and kick, kick
real shit to you.

But we talking about someGoogle Bulls, oh, I don't know.
We talking about some Jeepers,creepers.
You say that now.
You say that now.
I do say that now I'm going tosit down and throw at you.
Well, the only thing I do iscome over and spend the night
(25:31):
one time.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But a lot of it can happen in that one time though
no listen to me.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
That's eight hours.
The only thing I do is comeover and spend the night with me
.
One time I give you $3,000.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
$3,000?
.
Just spend the night, that's it.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I ain't say what that entails.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Oh Well, just spend the night, that's it.
I ain't say what else entails.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
um well, $3,000 do sound night, but I don't know
but, like I said, look, you seewhat you over there thinking
yeah, cause I ain't gonna lie,it's different when you talking
about a dude.
That sound completely differentit's the same thing for a job
risk versus reward.
When you're talking about adude, that's something
completely different.
It's the same thing for a job.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Risk versus reward.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Can you put your moral compass out the window to
do that?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I mean honestly.
Some folks do throw their moralcompass out the window when it
comes to providing for theirfamilies or a loved one, though
so like, at the end of the day,it's most definitely folks who
do so there's a risk we're notsaying what the definitive
reward is, but there's always arisk with the decisions that you
make.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, no matter how big, how small, how egregious
that choice is, you still makinga.
Is you still making a choice?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
You still making a decision, so is that saying it's
just?
Is that saying it's right?
Because when you took this job,they told you how much you were
going to be making an hourright?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Did they tell you everything you were going to be?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
doing.
No, when I first started theydid, they did, yeah, they told
you everything to the finestdegree.
Oh no, they, they said the bareminimum they said the bare
minimum yeah that what they justto get you to accept yeah, but
they most definitely got youdoing some extra stuff they
didn't have in the fine print.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Of course that says all duties and tasks that are
assigned to you in the fineprint, right?
So how many times in your headsaid boy, shoot, I don't get
paid enough for this.
How many times have you saidthat?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Oh, I ain't never said that.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You don't say shoot.
I know I did.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
My first job was working at a Kmart, bro, nah man
, I was like All I tell myselfis I'm getting paid for it
either way, so I'm just gonnahave to get through it and deal
with it.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So that's like we be telling people all the time Suck
it up, deal with it.
Now Just get through it, causeif you complain at the beginning
of it, it's just get through it, because if you complain with
it, complain at the beginning ofit it's just going to draw it
on to where it lasts so muchlonger, to where you're sitting
there like, bro, what the hell?
This, this ain't worth it,because some people get to that
(28:27):
point where they want to quitand it's.
It's funny, because you, youdon't never know what that
breaking point is, becausethat's why people will look for
another job.
Do you agree?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
yeah, especially if it's a seen as an opportunity
for them to do more.
But with that being said, youain't gonna never know what's in
the next fine print or what'sout the next fine print.
The grass might look greener onthe other side, but down there
it's always fertilized.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Ooh or fertilized with my bullshit.
Yeah, hey thank y'all forjoining us for Fold.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Step Us Only.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
