(00:01):
At what point do we as asociety start to call people ugly? At
what point do we make that determination? Because in the last almost three months,
obviously I've been around my handsome assson and everybody's told him how cute
he is. But then I've beenaround other babies and different situations, and

(00:24):
everybody's baby is cute, even whenpotentially maybe it's not. Everybody says everybody's
baby is cute. So at whatpoint in a human being's life do we
start to call people ugly? It'spretty fucked up if you ask me,
I just don't. And they isgone to keep it fly. He is

(00:49):
on the line lift the last message, So cram all right. Vibes are

(01:10):
right on Beyonce's right. This isa bottle of Matanzas Creek Cougar Ridge Vineyard
chardonnay, the twenty seventeen vintage heavyheavy bottle. I'll say that, not
like I felt heavier bottles, butI don't know bottles usually pretty heavy.
Actually, this is an Alexander Valley, Sonoma County chardonnay, so a little

(01:30):
bit buttery on the nose. Myfriends, you're gonna get some banana.
You're gonna get a little bit oflike creamy, sort of like vanilla scent,
and on the palate, you're gonnaget some of that citrus like a
lemon what they call that lemon drop. You're gonna get some of that buttery,

(01:56):
but not overly buttery, and thenyou're definitely gonna get some banana.
This bottle will run you about fiftyfive bucks on average, well worth it
for a beautiful Chartenaie. I justfelt like having shartennay. I usually do
red, you know, I'm Ido both one thousand percent. I do
both, but I just felt likewhite. So that's what we're doing a
Tanzas Creek. What it really tasteslike, that's what y'all really care about.

(02:17):
Y'all don't care about there anything elseI said you have, y'all probably
skipped it. It tastes like hmm, I don't know. It tastes like
when you add bananas to a peanutbutter sandwich. I know most of y'all,
Bougie and y'all have peanut butter andjelly, but sometimes we didn't.

(02:38):
We didn't always have jelly. Yourun out, so sometimes you just gotta
have a peanut butter sandwich. Soyou add bananas to it, but then
you toast it on wheat bread withthe glass of one hundred percent juice from
like a boogie spot like Sprout toWhole Food something like that, and then
you tuck a napkin in your shirt. That's what it tastes like to me.

(03:00):
Yeah. Yeah. There is anotherepisode of a podcast called Grab a
Glasses about yours truly David Tomas Bellknows DT put your money in them.
The Fucking Post Boys, best alsoknown as the One and Only Big Broccolini
Episode two a one. Happy tobe back doing what we do weekend week

(03:23):
Out Episode two hundred was fantastic.I appreciate all of those who riched out.
It was quiet, though, I'llbe honest, it was quiet most
of the Milestone episodes. The episodedid well. Let me be clear,
the episode did well, but usuallyat the milestone episodes, the big even

(03:44):
numbers the spots you get to whereit's like, oh man, he did
that. Usually my phone is onone thousand. So either y'all care about
me enough to know that I'm raisingan infant and y'all just didn't want to
hit my phone, or y'all justreally don't give a fuck. You're like,
just give me the episode. Nigga, y'all really don't care. Of

(04:09):
course, the usual suspects reached outand celebrated and what have you. But
if I look at episode fifty andI look at episode one hundred, episode
fifty, we had the whole Wewent out to I don't know what the
side of the city that was,I forget now, southwest side, like
a junk yard, and popped abottle of Luke bel air, sprayed it

(04:30):
all over the place. It wasdope. And then episode one hundred was
in Nashville. That's crazy. Ididn't realize that fifty was in Chicago,
one hundred was in Nashville, andnow two hundred is here in Portland.
We didn't do much for the twohundred and maybe that's why. Who knows.
But for those of y'all who havebeen a rocking for two hundred and
one weeks, thank you, thankyou, thank you. I appreciate y'all
very very much. This is avery simple podcast to listen to. It's

(04:51):
called grab a glass. That's anaction. It is a beautiful action.
Y'all gonna get this podcast. Yougrab a glass, you fill it up
with whatever you so choose. Itcould be Matanzas Creek chardonnay, it could
be apple juice, doesn't matter,and you sip on it and you listen
to the perspective being shared by MOIyou could light one up. You should

(05:13):
probably hydrate. It's important, butthat's what we do. Simple symbol is
that let's let's pay a bill becauseI got a kid. I haven't been
running many ads, but hey,shit, hey, so we'll be right
back. So I have this jeanjacket. It's blue, believe it or
not. This was bought I thinkin twenty fifteen or so, back when

(05:40):
color was a much bigger part ofmy wardrobe. Not that blue is like
some crazy color. And it's ajean jacket, so it's definitely a staple.
And I don't remember where I gotit from. I don't recall.
I think it was one of thefast fashioned spots that I got it from,
one of the whatever forever zorro orI don't know one of those.

(06:02):
The reason why I don't know isbecause I usually remove tags from clothing if
I can. I don't really likehow it feels. But I never really
buy things from those places unless thequality is somehow out of this world for
the price in the store. Accordingto Veronica, my wife knows much more
about stuff than I do. Ihave what's called a capsule wardrobe, which

(06:26):
is basically a bunch of high qualitystaples that you'll see me wear over and
over again. But I can switchit up and there's nothing crazier out of
the box in it. It's justis what it is, high quality staples.
So every now and again I cango into one of those spots and
pick something. In my humble opinion, most of the things that the fast

(06:47):
fashioned spots aren't for me. Thequality isn't the air. It's a bunch
of shit that you see on wrappersthat six to eight months from now they're
not gonna be wearing. They're gonnabe do something totally different. We didn't
win. From skinny jeans to regularjeans to fucking really skinny jeans and now
niggas you can't even see they shoes, they flooding, we got bell bottoms.

(07:10):
It's just I can't keep up withit at this point in my life,
so I just I keep it traill, I keep it real, and
the quality just isn't there for me. It's not a knock on those businesses.
That's clearly the model, but notfor me. Every now and then,
though, they'll sneak a piece ortwo in there and it's like,
Okay, I gotta caut this.I'm gonna get this. So that's when
I got this jean jacket. Andeven though it's from a fast fashioned spot,

(07:31):
I've had it for what is italmost ten years now? Dude?
If I might wear it today?And it just got me thinking as I
was watching an episode of Feud,It's an FX show that I watched on
Hulu about Capoti, and he hada quote. He's talking about the women.
I believe it's set in like thefifties or sixties, these women who

(07:56):
are of high society, high class, and he says, to my quote,
they love to put their names onthings, but they don't know how
to love them. These things theycollect and collect and collect. They're insatiable.
They're never full end quote. Andthat just got me thinking about the

(08:20):
way that we are consuming things,purchasing things, trying to stay up on
things, continuously adding to collections ofthings. Do we love anything? To
having this conversation with my mother whenshe was here, and I hate.

(08:43):
I hate repeating myself on the show, but when you do two hundred and
one episodes, it's hard to rememberif I've made this point before, but
I'm sure I repeat myself often.Doesn't matter. If you love every shoe
and you buy every shoe, doyou actually love any shoe? If you
like every person and you fuck everyperson, do you like any person?

(09:13):
I feel like that was something thathe said in that show about these women
the middle of the last century,but I don't think it's any more true
than it is today. We collectand collect and collect. We are insatiable,
we are never fall, even withthe fucking timeline. Scroll scroll scroll
scroll scroll. So I'm challenging everybody, if you listen to grab a glass

(09:39):
and you actually give a shit,I'm challenging you to let me know,
what is something that you've had foryears, that you've held on too and
you were gonna keep it forever becauseyou love it that much. I'm not
talking about a person. Let's leavethat out. Some of y'all gonna say

(10:00):
my nephew, like, no,that's not That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about a possession that youhave, something that you maybe spent
money on. I can tell youa few of them. For me.
I love that jacket. I gota couple of jackets like that, not
a lot, a couple, Ithink, maybe two or three different colors,
not from the same spot. Ilove my gold watch that I bought

(10:26):
years ago, not some crazy amountof money, maybe like four hundred bucks.
Love that goddamn watch. I'm gonnakeep that forever. There's just some
things that I have that I'm like, I don't need anything more than this.
This this is for me, andI love it, and I'm gonna
hold on to it. I'm gonnatake care of it, and I'm gonna
keep it. So I wanna know, y'all, let me know. What

(10:48):
is something that you own that you'vehad for years that you're gonna You're gonna
run it into the ground because youactually really really love it. How often
do you remember your dream? I'dsay it's about fifty to fifty for me
half the time. I'm sure thereis a reason. Some internet personality,

(11:09):
social media sales guru, health nuttype person will tell me, you know,
the fucking paranormal ass pseudo scientific assniggas on social media will tell me,
oh if you drink less coffee,you'll remember your dreams. Or you
gotta stretch before bed and do acartwheel and you remember your dreams. Or

(11:30):
you gotta wear the snows what dothey breathe right, strips, that's the
key to remembering your dream Yeah,whatever the fuck whatever? I remember them
about half the time. Anyways,I remembered one from the other night,
and I felt like it was sopowerful that it woke me up. I
should have been sleep still, andI woke up, like what was that?
Bear with me? Let me tellthe story. So I'm back in

(11:54):
the old neighborhood in Chicago, RogersPark, and I'm going east on Howard
Street. Somehow my car breaks down. I'm driving my mom's old car,
Acurrate legend, beautiful piece of machineryfor sure, and then it runs out
of gas. So I got toget the car to a gas station.

(12:18):
But then there was something wrong withthe gas and I'm trying to fix it
and I'm struggling. All of asudden, a friend of mine, friend
of the show appears, as dreamsoften have, just a weird occurrences that
make no sense, just appears outof nowhere. It starts to pump me
up as to why I should beable to figure this out. He's a

(12:39):
basketball coach, and he shares somestory with me. That was the powerful
part. He starts to tell meabout how he's been on the staff at
this place and how he's the lastcoach on the bench. And for those
of you who don't understand what thatmeans, there's like a million coaches for

(13:03):
each team, and then some ofthe coaches sit on the actual bench that
you see with the players, andthen there's a row, sometimes even two
rows of other coaches and personnel andbasketball operation staff that sit behind them.
So what he's articulating to me ishe's the last guy in like the second
row, in the very corner thatyou never see on television, and he's

(13:26):
telling me how he's making things happenfor this this team that others don't know
about because they can't see him ontelevision. And sometimes he has someone's head
in his way, whether it's aplayer or another coach, and he can't
even see the game. He can'teven see what's happening on the court.
But he's still putting in the workand trusting the results and that those results

(13:52):
are coming from something that he's contributing, and that if he keeps doing that,
he'll just move up to the nextseat on the bench, and then
the next seat, and then beforeyou know it, he'll be the head.
So he said all that to saythat I could fix my car.
I don't know if I ever fixedmy car on the dream, because that
shit woke me up, woke meup right out of my damn sleep.
Not the baby, not Veronica.This dream woke me about my sleep because

(14:16):
I don't know where that powerful analogycame from. I've been watching some basketball.
I did just recently talk to myboy, I guess, but it
was just something so powerful that Ihad to share with you guys too,
Like maybe you are the person onthe end of the bench, or you're

(14:37):
putting in work and you can't evensee the game. That's how far away
from your goal you are. That'show far away from the action you are.
You you can't even get a fullpicture of all the stuff that you're
doing. But you just know thatlittle by little you're gonna get the recognition
that you deserve. I don't know, just popped into my head as I

(15:01):
was prepping for the show, like, oh, yeah, the dream.
So to those out there, andI know there are plenty, trust you
me, I'm one of them.They don't always have the full picture.
You don't know what it is yet, they don't have the full access yet,
that that door that you're waiting forto open just hasn't opened yet.
If you're the last person on thecorner at the end of the bench,

(15:22):
you got some fucking six' ninenobody standing in front of you. You
can't even see the shit that youdid, the play you drew up,
the player that you scouted. It'scoming, It's coming. This was another
episode of a podcast called Grab aGlass. What's about Yours? Truly?
David Thomas Better on his DT putyour money in Them? What fucking fuck

(15:48):
