Episode Transcript

(00:03):
The bole right, and the yarbihonceis nice. The gonna keep it flattens
hears on the line last nice,last chicken blas have a lasts, so

(00:23):
cramb los all right, vibes areright, and Beyonce is right. This
is the bottle of twenty sixteen StoneStreet Cabinet, San Mignan, the monolith
a little bit different from the regular. It is a beautiful, beautiful bottle,

(00:46):
very very lush on the palette's let'ssee here blueberry, I would say
a little bit of cocow maybe,yeah, almost like a coffee, and
then when you taste it, youdefinitely get like some black currants, some

(01:07):
black berry, I would say,maybe even a little bit of tobacco.
Really really really powerful, strong,sophisticated Kevini Sama. This bottle will run
you anywhere from the price of maybeseventy five to eighty five, I would
say, on the average market.What's it really tastes like? Is what
y'all care about most. I knowit's been a while since we talk wine

(01:30):
too, but y'all want to knowwhat it really tastes like. It tastes
like the way real wood grain,like polished glistening wood grain looks. That's
what it tastes like. That beautiful, sophisticated, strong, brown, polished
wood grain. That's what it tasteslike to me. There's another episode of

(01:53):
a podcast called Grab a Glasses aboutyour Truley. David Toms been on his
Dtank, Your Money and Mama FuckingPost Boys Bag. Also was the one
only Big BROCOLI what episode is this? I have no idea. Perhaps one

(02:13):
nix is what episode this is?Let me just say a quick thank you
to everybody who's continued to listen tothe show while we are raising and rearing
a newborn. Obviously, we've keptit shorter, we've kept it more concise,
we've done away with some of theextra. Sorry, you're gonna have

(02:34):
to find out your own music.And shit, I don't have I don't
got time, I ain't got it. I don't have it. If I
had it to give, I would, but I don't. So that's that.
But again, thank you for listening. You could listen to any podcast
where most of these niggas talk aboutother niggas. They talk about other people
in their problems and gossip. Andyou ever noticed that all the entertainment you

(03:00):
can watch is just other people talkingabout other people. And don't get me
wrong, every now and then Igot to bring somebody else into it because
it allows me to share the perspectivethat I want to share, divulge the
lesson that I'm taking from it.But that's not how grab a Glass is.
We're not a gossip show. We'renot gonna talk about other niggas,
celebrities and Megan the Stallion and NickiMinaj and all that shit unless there's a

(03:24):
deeper message. I don't want tojust air out other people's shit, which
brings me to my next point.Black folks, some of y'all on here,
you know, some of y'all listening. A few of y'all at least,
you know, I shouldn't use that, right, I shouldn't use that
analogy. We are hurting ourselves.Whoever they is that y'all put behind that,

(03:52):
that whole thing, they they,they, they, they don't have
to do a whole lot for usto hurt ourselves. We do it to
ourself too much beef out here,whether it's celebrity or not, I'll see
it. I see y'all going ateach other. Y'all know who I'm talking
about. Squash that shit, nigga. You know who, Yeah, you

(04:13):
know who it is. Squash itor fuck them forever. But let's keep
it off the internet. In theground, y'all telling on y'allselves. Okay,
let's clear the air. Had hadto send a quick sub to some
niggas. Cut it out, cutit out. The message that I have
for you today is very quick,and it is very two words, very

(04:39):
important. Fuck almost. I hada dream, and it's funny. For
those of us who are connected toa certain place and a certain power,
our dreams are important. I don'tput too too much into the ones that
don't make any sense. Some dreamsyou can't put too much stocking because they

(05:00):
make zero, zero sense. There'sno message in it, and it's just
a bunch of gobbledygook and fucking randomnessthat don't go together. So some you
can, but some I do believethere are some sort of messaging. Had
a dream about a friend who wastelling me that they almost broke up with
their husband but they didn't and theywere so proud of this, And I

(05:26):
woke up thinking that could be real, that could be Uh, that might
not have been a dream, butI was thinking about this concept of almost,
and there was more in the dreamas to why they almost did et
cetera, et cetera. But I'vehad real conversations with friends about like their

(05:46):
relationships or whatever. Anyway, Soit brought me to this point where I
was thinking, why do human beingsgive credit for almost completing something, almost
doing something, almost succeeding, almostgetting to the pinnacle, almost reaching that
goal, almost scratching that thing offthat no way? Fuck that. I've

(06:08):
always kind of been like that.That's why when people ask me, do
you have regrets? Do you wishyou could go back? Yeah, you're
damn right. You're right. Iwish I could because there are some almost
situations that I don't look at aswinds per se. Now again, we
talked a couple of weeks ago abouthow everything that happened in the past led

(06:29):
me here, So I'm not I'mnot upset. However, I'm just not
somebody who's gonna give you a padon the ass because you almost graduated with
your PhD. I don't care.Ain't no almost fuck almost moral victories,
ain't it. My mom said thatwe were watching some basketball game the other
day and we ain't no moral victories, not as an adult, not in

(06:53):
this world, not in America,not in the United States of America.
Fuck almost, man, because we'reall so much better than that. We
all should be trying to stay thecourse whatever that is. You hear as
men in these conversations, you hearit a lot. Oh, I almost

(07:13):
had her, but you didn't.My dog like that dream. I almost
broke up with him because he didX, Y, and Z, but
I stayed with him. Well youdidn't, Sis, Sis, you did
not. My business almost succeeded,it didn't. This podcast almost got to

(07:34):
the well if I quit now,it didn't. I just am here to
tell you that I don't think personally, and y'all tell me, and I'm
gonna ask, and y'all gonna giveme the answer. Do you believe in
almost? Are moral victories a thing? I don't think they are. I

(07:55):
don't think that there's very much tobe six to be uh celebrated around an
almost. You can learn from analmost, and almost can catapult you to
more than an almost. But Idon't think that we should sit up here

(08:15):
and hip hip parade for an almost, not me. So as always,
I want to know what you thinkshould we be celebrating moral victories? Should
almost be something that we celebrate.I don't think so. Uh. I'm
gonna go see what my baby boyand my wife are doing. Y'all enjoy

(08:39):
whatever you got going on this week, and you know you'll catch me next
Sunday, ten thirty am Pacific Standardtime. As always, much love to
the creators, much much love tothe creators. No matter your flavor,
May God forever be in our favor. AYO. Cheers everybody, Thanks for
listening. The
