Episode Transcript

(00:03):
The bobs right, and the ambianceis nice. I'm gonna keep it flat.
Is on the line, kicking havethe lost, so cravel all right.

(00:31):
Vibes are right, ambiance is right, and I'm here to quadruple,
quintuple, sextuple down on the pointthat I've made my entire broadcasting career.
That's right. Loyalty is overrated.If your efforts aren't being reciprocated, and

(00:53):
you should adjust your energy accordingly,loyalty is overrated, then a bitch.
If your efforts aren't being reciprocated,and you should absolutely positively adjust your energy
accordingly. If y'all take anything fromthe two hundred plus episodes that I have

(01:19):
done, that's the message that Ihope you take from it. It can
be applied to all of it.Everything you're watching, everything you're seeing,
all the shit that's supposed to bereal, but it's not. It's for
entertainment, all of it, everypiece of it, anything in this breath
that you take every day. Hopefullyyou take that from it. Human beings

(01:46):
are innately selfish, not shellfish sellfish. As our first instinct is just
what it is. It's self preservation. Me me me, me me so
those of us, like many ofyou I know that are listening. So
those of us that will go theextra mile in the name of love and

(02:07):
friendship, all the things that mixin with loyalty, should either do so
because it is who we are,or because we just truly believe in the
power of sharing. And never ever, ever, don't play yourself. Ever,
don't ever do it for a rewardor a pat on the back or
a favor in return, because it'srare. It's rare that there are even

(02:36):
two people in the same sphere thatrock like that. It's rare, not
impossible, but rare. I'm lucky, I'm blessed. I got some beautiful
people in my circle that, man, if I go the extra mile,
it ain't even got to be said. It's just the reciprocal reciprocity. Man.
I wish I should get that tattooedon my forehead, But it's rare.

(03:00):
Those people I know them, andthat's it. To anybody else.
If I do something for your ass, it's because I just feel in my
heart and soul it's the right thingto do. Why am I again bringing
this up on a podcast called Graba Glass host about yours truly David Thomas,
better known as DT put your moneyin. We're mo fucking post boys,

(03:25):
also know one of the only bigBroccolini. Well, I'm bringing it
up because over the last let's say, three to four years, I've really,
really, really taken this seriously,this concept of not over extending myself
for anything unless it's around genuine peoplewho will have reciprocal energy. Finding the

(03:52):
energy and matching it has been mymy ploy and my my charge to myself.
And after some time now, afterthose three to four years, the
results, or at least the surfacelevel ones, are so so, so
very apparent. Let's say you gotsomeone in your life you do a lot

(04:16):
for, you go the extra milefor, you'll go to the ends of
the earth four and it feels good. It makes sense in your brain and
your heart because naturally it is howyou rock, it's how you operate.
But slowly and surely over time yourealize, wait a fucking minute, I

(04:38):
had something I needed similarly to whatI gave, and it was crickets.
It was I don't know what y'allgoing through in the Midwest, it was
cicadas. I had a moment whereI needed support or I needed someone to
show up for me, and theperson that I would have expected to be

(05:00):
there was not the person I wouldhave had expected. I would have had
been expected Cheryl favor asking asks defhad been shown up for me. After
all I've done for that. Andthat's where you stop. Stop right there,

(05:25):
that's where you fucked up at Onceyou say these words, after all
I've done for this person, that'syour sign to stop. Because once you
do, in fact stop, youneed to stop. You never asked,

(05:45):
need to stop once you have infact stopped, the results of which will
come to play. The results Ihave been seeing from ceasing and overgiving loyal
energy in places it's not recrigraded havebeen immaculate. Oh my god. The

(06:05):
feeling to know that those I giveto will give back. It's the best
feeling in the world. And ittook some years to really weed that shit
out. And those by the waythat I have abruptly stopped with removed the
outreach, the support, the showingup, the calls, the texts,

(06:30):
the check ins, the the gifts. Because you man, you, I
saw you had passed that exam andI sent you a bottle because man,
the pats on the back, theapplause that I've stopped. All of a
sudden, By the way, nowthese people are so so, so,

(06:51):
so so receptive, They're so hungry. The leeching has reversed. Now,
these fucking the thirst for even thesmallest interaction, the shameless thirst to return

(07:14):
to the way it was without,by the way, acknowledging their recognition that
there were some taking ass takers andthat they'll never stop doing that. Thermodynamics
something you learn in science, somethingthat I just so happen to remember,

(07:35):
mostly because of the movie two couldplay that game. Energy cannot be created
or destroyed, but it can bechanged from one form to another. The
taking ass takers that you just slowlyremove and then you see the results,
and then all of a sudden,they they act as if they're there for

(07:59):
you. No no, no,no, no. That feeling that you
get when you realize and they realize, but they won't say that they've realized.
Man, if I could bottle thisfeeling and sell it to each of
you with the big hearts and thelove to give that had been used over
and over again, I would,I'd sell it to you. I'd call
it what I should have thought aboutthis, What would I call it,

(08:26):
I'd call it fuck out of herejuice. I'd call it fuck out of
here juice. It would be aCabernet franc with notes of broccolini and tobacco
on the palette. No, no, no, on the nose. It
would have that on the nose,and then on the on the palette with
it'd be a smooth finish of likestrawberries and like chocolatey cayenne on the palette.

(08:50):
That's what it would be, tobe thirteen percent ABV with zero fucks
to give. That's what it wouldbe. And you would buy it,
and actually I won't even sell itto you. I'd give it free.
I'd give it I no profits needed. Much love to the creators, to
the lovers and the haters, nomatter your flavor. May God forever be

(09:15):
in our favor. My name isDavid Thomas, David Gerard Thomas. Hopefully
you needed to hear this message,and if you didn't, you got it
anyway. Cheers everybody. I lovey'all. Thanks for listening.
