It's a bad away and the ambiancea night. I'm gonna keep it flat
and tears on the mind. Chickenback, So cradla all right, vibes
(00:32):
are right. I'm beyonest is right. Sitting in the dining room of an
Airbnb in sunny San Diego, California, on a vacation with my family.
It has been incredible. Needed it, needed it bad. The best company
I could ask for. Wouldn't tradethe people I'm with for the world.
Great weather, damn good food.Scenery has been great. San Diego is
(00:56):
just beautiful. It's a peaceful place. I love it a lot. Person
I work with gave me a listof a bunch of things to did my
own research. But they gave mea list of a bunch of things and
haven't steered me wrong yet. Haven'tsteered me wrong yet. We've had a
fine, fine time, and we'vehad fine wine at a few places we've
gone. But there is a traderJoe's nearby, So at the moment,
(01:19):
at the spot, we've been sippingan eight dollar bottle of Asti spumante from
Gaetano di Aquino, really really goodsparkling moscato. I know some of y'all
gonna turn your nose up at mouscattoif you really love wine, Like,
if you really love wine, you'lltry and drink anything, and you can
find a moment a space where moscatomakes sense. And in sunny San Diego,
(01:45):
it definitely does slight, it's soft, it's sweet, but not too
fizzy, not like a pop.Tastes like peach, getting pair on the
nose and definitely getting pair on thepalette as well. It's got this tropical
twist of citrus. It's really reallythoughtful and for eight dollars, your ass
can't beat it. What's it reallytastes like? DT? It tastes like
(02:07):
calories don't count because on vacation,calories most definitely count. I ain't been,
I haven't counted, as saying,and I'm negative in my mind.
We went to an Italian spot andI eat so much food I could they
had to I could barely move.I literally had to roll myself to the
room. That's how full I was. So calories don't count, and that's
what this tastes like. If yougo to Trader Joe's, which I know
(02:28):
a lot of you do, checkthis out, especially if you're afraid of
mascotto, don't be afraid. Don'tbe scared. Since I'm on vacation,
I want to enjoy my family.I want to be on the mic for
less than ten minutes. I don'twant to be on here long. So
let's just make sure that everybody's remindedthat this is another episode of the podcast
called Grab a Glass about yours truly, David Thomas, better known as Duck
(02:55):
Boys Bad, also known as theone I know only Big Broccoli any here
in San Diego. Thank you forjoining me this episode one sixty five,
recorded here in sunny southern California.Hoping you've grabbed yourself a glass or something
that makes you happy and you're enjoyingit while you're sipping in your present,
(03:15):
and that's number one. Number two. Hopefully you found a strand that you
like when maybe your favorites and you'reenjoying that as well. That's number two,
two two, And number three thatyou're hydrating, because self care starts
with water, and all those threethings are very very important to an episode
of Grab a Glass. Vacation tome is a damn good time to throw
(03:38):
all the rules out the window anddo whatever it is that you want to
do, like for real, likeno, no, no, weel no
for real, whatever it is thatyou want to do. If vacation means
that you just lay up all day, all night, whatever, if it
means that you're gonna go out andexploring, you don't sleep at all,
whatever it is, hopefully you dothat this summer for your vacation. For
(03:59):
somebody like me, I think ittakes me a while to get into that
mode. When I get to aplace or a spot and it's truly a
vacation, it may take a minutefrom my brain to truly switch to that
chill mode and forget all the stuffthat I have at home and really just
put myself in a space of relaxationand reflection and feeling good. At a
(04:23):
hard time actually turning my work phoneoff. First time I've ever had a
second phone on a vacation, Andyeah, I struggle to turn it off
and leave it at the airbnb.Not because I'm so important at that place,
not because the place can't run withoutme. That's not the truth at
all, of course it can,but because I wasn't convinced that I was
(04:44):
supposed to do that. We allget caught up in that old bullshit don't
we what are we supposed to do? I'm not supposed to do this.
Nobody else does this, so whyshould I do that? But my gut
said, I won't enjoy my vacationwith my family. I won't enjoy it
(05:06):
with that thing going off. Andif I'm checking it, those group texts
come through from seeing team messages populate. If I get an email, even
if it says it's nothing urgent,you know, people will acknowledge that,
Hey, I know you're on vacation, but sometimes that makes you want to
read it even more. I won'tenjoy my vacation. I'll be inclined to
(05:26):
see what that is. And nowI've spent too much time on a work
phone. My gut said, leadthat raggedy ass distraction at the airbnb and
enjoy the few days that you took. So I did. It's been off.
It's been off. That's big whatand how we're supposed to do things
(05:50):
don't always be right. So Ijust wanted to share as I take my
vacation that I hope that you're trustingyour gut. It was my gut that
said no, no, no,no, no, everything will be fine,
leave that damn phone at home.We're taught, we're told, impressed
upon, we're encouraged, we're indoctrinated, We're I don't know, learned,
(06:14):
coached, instructed, trained to doa lot of shit that our gut,
gut instinct would never have us do. Normally. Some of them good,
of course, Like I was taughtto look both ways before across the street.
That was a good one. Thatwas an excellent one, for sure,
without a doubt. It was someof the rest of that ship,
though, that we were learned,especially early. I don't know about that
(06:38):
shit. I don't know. Ittakes some of the human element out of
how we assess things. I thinkmost of us are probably pretty good and
have a pretty good moral sense ofrisk assessment. I really do so.
Whether it is you should leave yourwork home, leave the cell phone in
the bag, don't even take itout of their BnB, you should share
(07:01):
the big news with this person orthat person, whether the person you gave
money to on the street it's goingto use it for good or bad,
or maybe you should just stay onthe couch and not go out tonight.
I say go with the gut firstand trust that and anybody who knows me
well knows whenever they may in theoff chance to ask me for advice,
(07:23):
I asked. The first thing Iask is what do you What does your
guts say? First? That tome more than any and I don't know
the difference. I'm not gonna lieto you, but more than any probiotic,
probiotic, whatever the fuck it is. That's the real good health.
It's checking in with yourself and youruniversal instinct and trusting that I get about
(07:46):
flowers every week. You know this, y'all know, y'all niggas know.
We don't have to go through thewhole thing this week because I'm trying to
get to the beach. You heardme. But this will air on Father's
Day so that all the daddies toPaul Paul's, the Grandpaul's, to fall
their figures, the mentors and singleparents of all varieties. You deserve the
day to be uplifted, celebrated,and loved upon. I hope your macaroni
(08:11):
glute to a paper plate gets framed. Hopefully that tide that they got you.
You know, you wear it evenif you don't even have a shirt
on it. Just put it aroundyour neck. And to my dad David
Christopher, we love you and weappreciate you. And to my grandfather Poppy
and Heaven, we adore you andwe miss you. And to my homies
too many to name, y'all aresome of the best dads out there.

and foremost. The fatherly instincts arereal and I love what I see from
y'all. Congratulations and Happy Father's Dayto y'all. Now, y'all also know

at such an elite level. Thesong making is just clutch. You should
(09:22):
definitely check that out. And numbertwo Killer Mike's Michael like It's creator one
of the most thoughtful artistic pieces thatwe've seen in quite some time. If
you question the impact of hip hop, if you think it's lost its way,
if you think that hip hop isjust gone by the wayside, I
(09:43):
see that billboard saying it's not hadits number one album this year. Whatever
the fuck you think about hip hop, I don't care. Go listen to
this so you don't sound ignorant whenyou say stupid shit like that. Please
