But this is episode 54.
I respect.
It's all about respect, alltypes of respect.
(00:38):
That shit is more important thanwe actually think.
it plays a part in our lives.
Uh, but yeah, we're going to getmore into it.
But before we do that, let's getinto the quote of the day.
And this one is from william J Hbolt Tucker.
That you may retain yourself.
Respect.
It is better to displease thepeople by doing what you know
(01:01):
was right then temporarily.
Please them by doing what youknow was wrong.
And that's real shit, man, in mylife.
There's times I put otherpeople's.
Opinions of me before therespect of myself.
And then in return, I lost morerespect for myself and that's
the thing.
The same way you lose respectfor someone that don't keep
their word for the same way youlose respect for someone doing
(01:23):
something you don't agree with.
You'll start that'll happen withyou.
And if it's not happening to youyet.
You might be on that road.
And I'm, you know, I'm trying tosee if I can get you off it.
Like when people say, why youkill people.
Think, man, I feel likeeverybody.
Cares.
Some people are good at notletting it affect them.
Right.
Because we all feel fear.
(01:43):
But a lot of us do shit.
Feeling that fear.
It just some put it on a higherpedestal.
Some make it more of an issue.
But like with this world,Nothing's.
Like everything is fuckinggreat.
Like.
Working hard doesn't guaranteesuccess.
it puts you in a position to beluckier.
We're good now.
Doesn't mean.
You're going to have the bestbody.
(02:05):
but we'll put you.
In right.
You know, in the right form too.
Nothing.
That's what I'm owed is nothingis guaranteed.
But.
Having respect for yourself asthe most important thing.
It'll put you in a lot ofsituations.
You want to be in and keep youout of situations that you don't
want to.
yeah, that was a great quote.
that's your home?
Hey home, like a motherfucker.
Out of points left for that, butI'm like, nah, that's
(02:26):
inappropriate.
But yeah, let's get into theepisode.
Respect.
Look, I usually I tried to finddifferent names instead of just
going directly, what I'm talkingabout.
Well, respect is like, Soimportant and I want to focus
now on the self-respect right.
Like.
If you don't respect you.
How anybody else is going torespect you?
If your word don't mean anythingto you and your actions.
(02:50):
They'll mean nothing to you.
They're going to mean nothing toanybody else.
That's self-respect it givespeople a guide.
On how they got to speak to you.
Right.
So you have a notice.
Certain places.
There'll be like, oh, theywouldn't let that shit fly with
such and such.
The such and such has got thatrespect.
And it was time for you to getyours.
Recently I worked, which Ididn't even know.
(03:10):
Luke was the, he was like thirdin charge.
It's like the top balls.
And then there's the middleboss.
And then this is him.
He's like, You know, before youfight shout calling the mortal
combat.
It's like the third one.
It's like what?
Like.
well, you know, this son Iwasn't supposed to, I work.
Hey, call me out on it.
(03:31):
But like, you know what I'msaying?
I don't like having the audiencewhen I know I messed up, but I
feel like anybody, like.
Certain things don't need to besaid.
Uh, so some of the things arenot anybody's business.
So at this moment, I'm like, ifI let it go.
I ain't going to respect myselffor it.
But.
took a moment, let them know howa phone I did a very, very
professionally.
And.
I felt like it was mutualrespect after that.
(03:52):
Cause you know, it was funny.
Right.
Cause I had to go through my.
My cycle, right?
Like, you know, you.
You know what I'm saying?
Y'all look, I'm from Brooklyn.
That'll make no excuse for it.
When I phone to her, when we getmad, we like yo man.
Fuck.
You know what I'm saying?
Fuck outta here.
And I was saying, we talking totalk crazy dope.
I get crazy, but I'm like, yo.
(04:13):
I'm a grown ass man.
That's not the solution.
That's not going to give me asolution.
And if anything is going to putme in a deeper hole, So let me
be correct.
And now I feel like there's adifferent respect now, because
now he's not going to do thatagain.
Now we need to do what I did atwork.
We need to take that across theboard and do that with
everything.
And sometimes when you.
(04:33):
Tell someone you're going to dosomething.
And you don't do it.
It's better that you don't letthem know you do it.
The tell him, you said you wasgoing to do it and I did it,
especially you want to respectfrom that person.
But deep down, you're not goingto respect you.
So it's better to just do thatshit.
So you got to like, Engage inbehaviors.
That's someone that respectshimself.
Behaves because it's not likewhen, when, all right.
(04:55):
When you want it, when you wantto improve, you want to do
something.
It's not like you going to reada book.
Or you going to do a full weekor.
It's never the way you thinkit's going to be like, it's just
going to be like, time's goingto pass and it's going to be
like, oh shit.
I respect the shit out ofmyself.
I said no to that.
I spoke up with this.
I kept it a buck with this.
And the most important personyou could keep your words.
(05:16):
Who is you?
I like that respect the core ofit.
The core of everything is alwayswith you.
But if you don't like whenpeople talk to you a certain
way, You don't like being lookedat a certain way.
It's time to go get yourrespect.
It's not something that's goingto be that that's one thing
that's not going to be given toyou.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, no one's ever going togive you that shit.
You got to go get that shiteither by giving it and make
(05:39):
sure you maintain yours.
Now me personally, I feel like Idon't got the best respect.
I keep it.
I keep it a buck.
Now proud to say it.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, It's wow.
When you say something and I'mnot thinking of the person, but
like, I just know.
My friends and family, uh, tiredof me.
you know what I'm saying?
Get my talk on and then notbacking it up.
And they love me.
(06:00):
But when it comes to.
Gain certain things done.
I don't got that respect that I.
That I definitely would want.
And I've got to think about it.
I got to get it.
For my kids all wear that.
I ain't got it like that.
I ain't got it right now.
Uh, come to the, we had a coupleof years.
And, you know, I definitely wantthem to respect me.
You know, I respect them.
(06:20):
Those are my little, my littlebabies, man.
I know there's some instanceswhere.
To keep that.
People probably lost theirlives, but That for you because
you believe in what you believein and you didn't let it go.
The legends.
That got killed for puttinginformation out there.
And it's crazy.
Cause I ain't famous enough.
For me to.
Get conspiracy with it or.
Eh, or, or try to make amovement or something, but.
(06:43):
If they know you, a person thatwould, that has access to the
information.
Like the background story.
Kin.
Pretty much confirm what you'resaying.
That there's truth to it.
And this countless people that.
Coincidentally are no longerwith us.
I just find that in a sane.
I like anything that has to dowith bringing justice.
You could potentially be killedfor it in the world we live in
(07:05):
like, and, and you can't evenget mad.
Cause this is the world we wereborn into.
It's not like we, it's not likethe shit change.
In the middle, you know, weturned fucking when we w.
We became teenagers, all of asudden.
Yeah.
The world's like this now.
Nah, I should have been likethis.
they just do a good job ofdressing it up.
And the, you know, the higheststablish.
(07:26):
It gives no respect for me tokeep to the topic.
They come off a little bit.
Hey man, but it's so important.
Like, let's get somerelationships.
I saw a video that was real it'strue.
Right?
Like.
Men.
Want respect.
Even more than love.
We love the love.
Don't get it twisted.
Don't get it.
Fucked up.
But we love respect.
We love to be respected as a manand as a person of our word.
(07:47):
And don't get me wrong it is upto us to get it our actions.
When I actions are in line withwhat we say.
And we stick to our guns, nomatter what.
You know, in relationships,whoever you wit.
Has no choice.
But, um, well, what I'm saying,it's a respect that.
and they heal and they alsomentioned that women.
They love the respect.
Of course.
Belove that's number one forthem.
And.
I read the book of the ways ofthe superior man.
(08:10):
And you would think you hear thetitle of the words of a superior
man.
They're going to give all the.
Meryl respect with that.
It really.
Speaks about respecting women.
And what you need to do to.
Like be there for her.
Cause.
women mind their mind sometimebe all over the place.
And we need to, that book justtalks about a way of.
Being able to work with thembetter.
And it also gets you in touchwith Jermaine.
(08:31):
You know what I'm saying?
Your man shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Or some Andrew take shit.
Yeah, I.
Yeah.
It's a, it's a great.
it's a great book.
I recommend you read it.
Uh, but yeah, back to the topic,man.
ain't too much to really go inabout it.
Like.
Respect.
You know, give people therespect that you would want.
You know, let that shit comearound and if you don't get it,
(08:52):
Make sure you let it be known.
you don't have to entertain it.
And the way you treat all thoseis very important, man.
Cause.
You don't know anybody's story,right?
You could get be mad at thisperson.
This person could have lost hiswhole family, but you just know.
What you see on the surface?
Oh, this person could have beenhomeless.
Or been in foster care so muchdifferent things that can happen
to someone.
And we don't know.
(09:12):
It's good to treat.
You know what I'm saying?
Treat people how you want to betreated.
And the more respectful shouldyou do?
Uh, the more.
It'll get around.
It's not like you really, I feellike it's not like you're a
hundred percent know who youare.
Like, it's not like, you'relike, ah, I mean, for the most
part, you know, you did this,this and that.
But when you're trying toevolve, when you're trying to
be.
Establish.
What you think will make youhappy and what you would want to
(09:34):
deal with?
And be that.
And the only way to be that isto repeat that.
So it becomes you the reason.
Right.
Like when you think about you,you're made up of all these
habits, thoughts, actions, whereyou can almost.
When you're unpredictable.
You're in another place, but forthe most part, human have
patterns.
And so break a pattern.
That you've been doing forever.
(09:55):
I imagine.
They say two pays wasn'thealthy.
And there's another way, eventhough there'll be another way
that might be healthier for you.
You're just so caught in thepattern of the tooth.
Pace with the toothbrush.
It will be so hard to breakthat, like something that you
repeat it, but you think aboutit.
You add another thing.
That you do a lot of times.
Boom.
Next thing, you know?
You know what I'm saying?
(10:16):
Like Birdman.
They got to put respect on yourname.
Yeah.
Where you went to hot 97.
He really went there to gettough with Charlemagne.
Felon Pomar respect on my nameand then dip.
Like babies wildland for that.
Yeah.
After going on my rant aboutthat.
It comes to the podcasting.
Donna's support.
loved ones, been trying thebest.
(10:37):
To show me.
You know, give me that push,give me that faith.
But I always said, if you'regoing to make it.
Especially in any type ofindustry, you need more than
your people to support you.
You need people that have don'tknow, and the people that don't
know you're going to support youmore.
Because that's just the way itis.
It's not even nothing to get badabout.
Like.
You don't know enough peoplelike no one knows a million
people.
No one can stay in touch with amillion people, but.
(10:57):
Oh million people like you andthey find you entertaining.
And they'll pay for you to bethere, to entertain other
people.
That's a.
It's a great place to be and notanybody can do it, but anybody
can do it.
You know what I'm saying?
Like this is fire by the 90.
We could do it, but anybodycould do it.
Well, yeah, man, you gotta.
You got to go out there and getit, man.
You gotta go out there like.
Almost like conscious, butunconscious, like.
(11:19):
Like relentless.
And at the end of the day over,like, I feel like.
You don't have to like me.
You don't have to love me.
But you will respect me.
Like that's.
I feel like that's, that's all.
Well, at least me.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't care if you ain't likemy podcast.
But are you respected the hustlethat I'm putting behind it?
Yeah, I appreciate that.
But.
Shit.
(11:39):
I don't even respect their,like, You know, between seasons
I'm supposed to do so much more.
Editing is not my favoritething.
I really, I really despise it.
But I'm not in a place in mycareer where I can get it paid
for.
I'm like a rapper right now.
I got to mix and make his ownbeats in.
Put it together until he canhire a Swiss beats or Kanye.
(12:00):
And that comes with it.
Um, No point of getting mad or.
The bane about it.
Some things shouldn't bedebatable, your respect.
your dignity, your pride.
it shouldn't be debatable.
And you're the one that setsthat standard.
It's crazy.
Like.
I feel like from school.
It's like my automatic responseis like, you know, when you got
in trouble at school, you'relike all that.
You know, my, my, my, my notthinking of response.
(12:22):
It's like, oh, let me, you know,And then, well, you know what
I'm saying with shit, kick in.
That man should kick in yourage.
You'll respect.
How you feel.
The NSA and I startedprocessing, then I'm like, nah,
I gotta, you know what I'msaying?
I got to approach this.
it doesn't make me tougher.
It doesn't make me.
And, you know, I feel like it'ssomething that I had to do,
like, like my best friend, like.
Shout out the main, we alwaystalk about this.
(12:43):
Like.
we don't have those situationthe way we though we should have
handled it.
We'll lose sleep.
And then it'll be worse for thenext person.
Cause we will take out whathappened.
You know what I mean?
So, I remember he makes it a, athing to make sure he don't lose
sleep and sticks to his word.
And.
Followed through and all thethings he says, or not later
should go that he feels like.
(13:03):
She didn't be let go.
You know, saying that gravitatestowards me and I'm like, you
know, he, my best friend, I knewthis guy's either.
You know, we were 12.
You know what I'm saying?
He's doing his thing.
You know, And I'm still tryingto figure it out, but the whole
time he's been there telling me,yo, you got this.
You know what I'm saying?
Even when times.
Yo this times are like, yo, Ididn't even, when I was in
Miami, I remember I did not see.
I was ready to go and he's like,nah.
(13:25):
It's not going to be like that.
You always.
Snap out of it.
And.
Ah, I usually do.
This has been a different one.
Cause I'm in a different state.
I got kids now.
It's like a whole different ballgame.
But nevertheless.
Got to get that work done.
There's no excuses.
I'm talking about to the point.
If there's an apocalypse, Godforbid.
If there's an alien.
(13:46):
Invasion, which.
Can I say how a thousand percentof what happened has been in
movies.
But a lot of sightings.
It don't matter.
I just saw, I'll just read astory about a guy that lived in
a fucking iron lung tube.
And graduate and finished schooland I'm over here having a hard
time with all my limbs shit.
Like that eyes I'm like.
And there's so many collegestories.
(14:07):
You think out of respect?
You think I won't respect thosepeople.
That.
I've run a marathon with oneleg.
Finish it the green, but can'tsee.
Take a path that everyone laugh.
And now.
They're telling the best jokesall the time.
I just thought I kept them harshshit.
Yo, that's one thing.
You, you don't have to like him.
You don't like the like soulplan.
You ain't got like his comedy,but you will respect that, man.
(14:28):
He works hard.
He like watching the like, I'mlike, damn sound like.
I was the entertaining.
I mean, I still am.
I think.
But I always been a fun guythat.
Uh, enjoy making people laughand not, everybody's going to
think.
You're funny.
Not everybody thinks Kevin Hartis funny, but he made a career.
Out of something we all love todo.
It's the best medicine.
(14:50):
Episode.
I forgot which one it is.
But it's the best medicine andhe made a career out of it.
And I'm standing there like, yo,that would have.
That's something I would love todo.
Like I love comedy.
But I'll be so all over theplace.
And on top of that, You got a.
I feel like that guy never lostfaith.
It don't matter what.
Rejection.
He got.
He found the way and look athim.
(15:10):
He got a radio station movies.
I hope you don't stop.
But.
Yeah, his, he still does thewhat'd you call it.
The comedy shed, the standup, hestill does it and he don't have
to do it.
Still does it?
You pretty much could doanything you want.
He's been in cartoons, man.
Like I might, I do.
I don't even care.
If he's with.
Lewminatti whatever the fuck Idon't give a fuck.
(15:34):
And Jose.
They give a heart.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
He's been putting stuff outthere.
And.
I don't know what just reallyinspired me.
To wanna like.
Figure it out just like theArnold documentary leg.
Do was a millionaire before heeven became Arnold.
You know what I'm saying?
Before calling nine, he wasalready.
Making bread making moves.
(15:54):
I mean, it's not, I feel likewhat could be better than you
love what you do.
You respect what you do.
And you just.
Happy to wake up and go, goafter it.
Like some people are reallyblessed every day to go do what
they want.
They imagine.
Right.
The only people you keep around,you.
All the people that love you,respect you and admire you.
Not even, they don't have theirmind you, but you know what I
(16:15):
mean?
Like just want nothing for thebest for you.
And they'll get it Swifty.
You can want people to want thatfor you?
But you got to want that forpeople to you can't be this
ain't a one-sided shit.
Like.
I want the best for people mightlike.
You know, shout out to mybrother.
You got a fucking great job.
And now.
Like he's, he's great.
Like.
(16:35):
He said, you know what I'msaying?
His daughters.
Are set.
Happiness, like just purehappiness and love for life.
Cause.
It comes and goes for me.
I really don't when I had kids.
It was on B all because everytime someone would be feeling a
certain way, I'm like, yo, yougot beautiful babies, but you,
but yo, yo we human and.
(16:55):
You have a certain way ofthinking about things no matter
what's changed around you.
You still repeat the sameprocess.
And I feel like I'm stillrepeating the process.
Albert came.
And when I started the podcast,but it's like, I almost thought
I was at the finish line, likeit was over and it was still a
lot of work to do.
And I did not acknowledge that.
Man, we different, man.
(17:15):
Like we could be golden in onething and then be like really
fucked up.
In a whole other thing.
That's what I'm noticing.
Right?
Like ain't nobody perfect.
Right?
Like.
You can be the best baseballplayer in the world and be the
shittiest dad.
You could be the best dad.
It'd be the shittiest cousin.
Like there's no.
Way to be.
(17:36):
You know what I'm saying, thenwe know we're not perfect.
And then get mad when we notperfect.
Like that should be bugging meout.
Like.
I got to work.
I will really get mad.
When I couldn't figure somethingout, but I'm like, if I figured
it out all the time, I will be aperfect rep.
And I will be doing.
Great.
And I will never want to leave.
I like the fact that like I haveto work hard to do good.
cause then I could just takethat energy anywhere.
(17:56):
I was like, I don't need that.
I don't need that to be theplace.
But I'm also grateful.
And, I worked in like, not bythe hour.
And I work by the hour and themoney.
That you get.
For hustling.
And putting shit together is waymore rewarding than just.
Showing up the workforce,because if you just do the
minimum.
Right.
you'll be enough to not getfired.
But when it comes to your ownbusiness to sales, to any type
(18:18):
of thing like that, The less youput the less you get.
So it teaches you like to makeyour own systems too.
Produce results.
And that was thing too.
I got my.
You got to convince yourself.
Where you are and who you wantto be in, what you want to do.
somebody sold you a fucked up.
Story.
And that's why you believe thebullshit.
You believe it.
Like if you, one of thosepeople, like there's certain
(18:39):
people I talk to now and I'mstill talking about dreams and
they looking at me like, I'mcrazy.
And.
At the same time, I canunderstand that.
But you got to think about it,someone.
That believed past that feeling.
Made it, I don't think you canmake it.
Still having that feeling like,ah, Whatever happens happens.
Now you got to do it.
And like people said, the harderyou work, the luckier you get,
(18:59):
man.
And that's the truth.
But to wrap this up, the finalsay is simple as sure.
Go get your fucking respect.
Get a form ups.
Get it from your wifey.
Get it from your husband.
Get it from your fuckingfriends.
Get it from whatever you,wherever you gotta go.
Get it.
Go get that shit.
(19:19):
And don't let it slip up becauseyou let it slip up.
Blunts you going to let it slipup again.
And.
It's a very thin line betweenrespect and disrespect.
So you got to know thedifference, you know what I
mean?
And literally.
Part of self care.
Self-respect is part of selfcare.
One of the highest cause.
You respect yourself to a highdegree.
(19:40):
You don't put certain things inyour bodies.
You don't put yourself aroundcertain people.
You don't put yourself insituations.
You don't want to be it and youbust your ass to get it and you
make it happen.
Sometimes I be like, yo, I gottago get my respect, but it'll
start with them.
Fuck.
Fuck everybody.
Like, no fuck everybody.
But you know what I'm saying?
I'm not worried abouteverybody's respectful.
I don't know if I respect me.
(20:01):
And I followed through with thethings I say without anyone
having to know what I'm doing.
I saw.
Let's see if you really let'ssee really bout it.
Can you work on somethingwithout telling anybody.
Like nobody.
So that means.
Anything you do.
There's nobody worrying about.
If you're going to do tonight ison you.
If you do that.
(20:21):
She go.
It's going to be a beautifullife.
Huh.
Uh, I don't know the rest of thesong.

And now.
Ah,
Yi.
Yeah.
It's your host.
Raimundo welcome to my show,where we relate, laugh, and try
to learn some shit in theprocess.
But this is episode 54.
I respect.
It's all about respect, alltypes of respect.
(00:38):
That shit is more important thanwe actually think.
it plays a part in our lives.
Uh, but yeah, we're going to getmore into it.
But before we do that, let's getinto the quote of the day.
And this one is from william J Hbolt Tucker.
That you may retain yourself.
Respect.
It is better to displease thepeople by doing what you know
(01:01):
was right then temporarily.
Please them by doing what youknow was wrong.
And that's real shit, man, in mylife.
There's times I put otherpeople's.
Opinions of me before therespect of myself.
And then in return, I lost morerespect for myself and that's
the thing.
The same way you lose respectfor someone that don't keep
their word for the same way youlose respect for someone doing
(01:23):
something you don't agree with.
You'll start that'll happen withyou.
And if it's not happening to youyet.
You might be on that road.
And I'm, you know, I'm trying tosee if I can get you off it.
Like when people say, why youkill people.
Think, man, I feel likeeverybody.
Cares.
Some people are good at notletting it affect them.
Right.
Because we all feel fear.
(01:43):
But a lot of us do shit.
Feeling that fear.
It just some put it on a higherpedestal.
Some make it more of an issue.
But like with this world,Nothing's.
Like everything is fuckinggreat.
Like.
Working hard doesn't guaranteesuccess.
it puts you in a position to beluckier.
We're good now.
Doesn't mean.
You're going to have the bestbody.
(02:05):
but we'll put you.
In right.
You know, in the right form too.
Nothing.
That's what I'm owed is nothingis guaranteed.
But.
Having respect for yourself asthe most important thing.
It'll put you in a lot ofsituations.
You want to be in and keep youout of situations that you don't
want to.
yeah, that was a great quote.
that's your home?
Hey home, like a motherfucker.
Out of points left for that, butI'm like, nah, that's
(02:26):
inappropriate.
But yeah, let's get into theepisode.
Respect.
Look, I usually I tried to finddifferent names instead of just
going directly, what I'm talkingabout.
Well, respect is like, Soimportant and I want to focus
now on the self-respect right.
Like.
If you don't respect you.
How anybody else is going torespect you?
If your word don't mean anythingto you and your actions.
(02:50):
They'll mean nothing to you.
They're going to mean nothing toanybody else.
That's self-respect it givespeople a guide.
On how they got to speak to you.
Right.
So you have a notice.
Certain places.
There'll be like, oh, theywouldn't let that shit fly with
such and such.
The such and such has got thatrespect.
And it was time for you to getyours.
Recently I worked, which Ididn't even know.
(03:10):
Luke was the, he was like thirdin charge.
It's like the top balls.
And then there's the middleboss.
And then this is him.
He's like, You know, before youfight shout calling the mortal
combat.
It's like the third one.
It's like what?
Like.
well, you know, this son Iwasn't supposed to, I work.
Hey, call me out on it.
(03:31):
But like, you know what I'msaying?
I don't like having the audiencewhen I know I messed up, but I
feel like anybody, like.
Certain things don't need to besaid.
Uh, so some of the things arenot anybody's business.
So at this moment, I'm like, ifI let it go.
I ain't going to respect myselffor it.
But.
took a moment, let them know howa phone I did a very, very
professionally.
And.
I felt like it was mutualrespect after that.
(03:52):
Cause you know, it was funny.
Right.
Cause I had to go through my.
My cycle, right?
Like, you know, you.
You know what I'm saying?
Y'all look, I'm from Brooklyn.
That'll make no excuse for it.
When I phone to her, when we getmad, we like yo man.
Fuck.
You know what I'm saying?
Fuck outta here.
And I was saying, we talking totalk crazy dope.
I get crazy, but I'm like, yo.
(04:13):
I'm a grown ass man.
That's not the solution.
That's not going to give me asolution.
And if anything is going to putme in a deeper hole, So let me
be correct.
And now I feel like there's adifferent respect now, because
now he's not going to do thatagain.
Now we need to do what I did atwork.
We need to take that across theboard and do that with
everything.
And sometimes when you.
(04:33):
Tell someone you're going to dosomething.
And you don't do it.
It's better that you don't letthem know you do it.
The tell him, you said you wasgoing to do it and I did it,
especially you want to respectfrom that person.
But deep down, you're not goingto respect you.
So it's better to just do thatshit.
So you got to like, Engage inbehaviors.
That's someone that respectshimself.
Behaves because it's not likewhen, when, all right.
(04:55):
When you want it, when you wantto improve, you want to do
something.
It's not like you going to reada book.
Or you going to do a full weekor.
It's never the way you thinkit's going to be like, it's just
going to be like, time's goingto pass and it's going to be
like, oh shit.
I respect the shit out ofmyself.
I said no to that.
I spoke up with this.
I kept it a buck with this.
And the most important personyou could keep your words.
(05:16):
Who is you?
I like that respect the core ofit.
The core of everything is alwayswith you.
But if you don't like whenpeople talk to you a certain
way, You don't like being lookedat a certain way.
It's time to go get yourrespect.
It's not something that's goingto be that that's one thing
that's not going to be given toyou.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, no one's ever going togive you that shit.
You got to go get that shiteither by giving it and make
(05:39):
sure you maintain yours.
Now me personally, I feel like Idon't got the best respect.
I keep it.
I keep it a buck.
Now proud to say it.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, It's wow.
When you say something and I'mnot thinking of the person, but
like, I just know.
My friends and family, uh, tiredof me.
you know what I'm saying?
Get my talk on and then notbacking it up.
And they love me.
(06:00):
But when it comes to.
Gain certain things done.
I don't got that respect that I.
That I definitely would want.
And I've got to think about it.
I got to get it.
For my kids all wear that.
I ain't got it like that.
I ain't got it right now.
Uh, come to the, we had a coupleof years.
And, you know, I definitely wantthem to respect me.
You know, I respect them.
(06:20):
Those are my little, my littlebabies, man.
I know there's some instanceswhere.
To keep that.
People probably lost theirlives, but That for you because
you believe in what you believein and you didn't let it go.
The legends.
That got killed for puttinginformation out there.
And it's crazy.
Cause I ain't famous enough.
For me to.
Get conspiracy with it or.
Eh, or, or try to make amovement or something, but.
(06:43):
If they know you, a person thatwould, that has access to the
information.
Like the background story.
Kin.
Pretty much confirm what you'resaying.
That there's truth to it.
And this countless people that.
Coincidentally are no longerwith us.
I just find that in a sane.
I like anything that has to dowith bringing justice.
You could potentially be killedfor it in the world we live in
(07:05):
like, and, and you can't evenget mad.
Cause this is the world we wereborn into.
It's not like we, it's not likethe shit change.
In the middle, you know, weturned fucking when we w.
We became teenagers, all of asudden.
Yeah.
The world's like this now.
Nah, I should have been likethis.
they just do a good job ofdressing it up.
And the, you know, the higheststablish.
(07:26):
It gives no respect for me tokeep to the topic.
They come off a little bit.
Hey man, but it's so important.
Like, let's get somerelationships.
I saw a video that was real it'strue.
Right?
Like.
Men.
Want respect.
Even more than love.
We love the love.
Don't get it twisted.
Don't get it.
Fucked up.
But we love respect.
We love to be respected as a manand as a person of our word.
(07:47):
And don't get me wrong it is upto us to get it our actions.
When I actions are in line withwhat we say.
And we stick to our guns, nomatter what.
You know, in relationships,whoever you wit.
Has no choice.
But, um, well, what I'm saying,it's a respect that.
and they heal and they alsomentioned that women.
They love the respect.
Of course.
Belove that's number one forthem.
And.
I read the book of the ways ofthe superior man.
(08:10):
And you would think you hear thetitle of the words of a superior
man.
They're going to give all the.
Meryl respect with that.
It really.
Speaks about respecting women.
And what you need to do to.
Like be there for her.
Cause.
women mind their mind sometimebe all over the place.
And we need to, that book justtalks about a way of.
Being able to work with thembetter.
And it also gets you in touchwith Jermaine.
(08:31):
You know what I'm saying?
Your man shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Or some Andrew take shit.
Yeah, I.
Yeah.
It's a, it's a great.
it's a great book.
I recommend you read it.
Uh, but yeah, back to the topic,man.
ain't too much to really go inabout it.
Like.
Respect.
You know, give people therespect that you would want.
You know, let that shit comearound and if you don't get it,
(08:52):
Make sure you let it be known.
you don't have to entertain it.
And the way you treat all thoseis very important, man.
Cause.
You don't know anybody's story,right?
You could get be mad at thisperson.
This person could have lost hiswhole family, but you just know.
What you see on the surface?
Oh, this person could have beenhomeless.
Or been in foster care so muchdifferent things that can happen
to someone.
And we don't know.
(09:12):
It's good to treat.
You know what I'm saying?
Treat people how you want to betreated.
And the more respectful shouldyou do?
Uh, the more.
It'll get around.
It's not like you really, I feellike it's not like you're a
hundred percent know who youare.
Like, it's not like, you'relike, ah, I mean, for the most
part, you know, you did this,this and that.
But when you're trying toevolve, when you're trying to
be.
Establish.
What you think will make youhappy and what you would want to
(09:34):
deal with?
And be that.
And the only way to be that isto repeat that.
So it becomes you the reason.
Right.
Like when you think about you,you're made up of all these
habits, thoughts, actions, whereyou can almost.
When you're unpredictable.
You're in another place, but forthe most part, human have
patterns.
And so break a pattern.
That you've been doing forever.
(09:55):
I imagine.
They say two pays wasn'thealthy.
And there's another way, eventhough there'll be another way
that might be healthier for you.
You're just so caught in thepattern of the tooth.
Pace with the toothbrush.
It will be so hard to breakthat, like something that you
repeat it, but you think aboutit.
You add another thing.
That you do a lot of times.
Boom.
Next thing, you know?
You know what I'm saying?
(10:16):
Like Birdman.
They got to put respect on yourname.
Yeah.
Where you went to hot 97.
He really went there to gettough with Charlemagne.
Felon Pomar respect on my nameand then dip.
Like babies wildland for that.
Yeah.
After going on my rant aboutthat.
It comes to the podcasting.
Donna's support.
loved ones, been trying thebest.
(10:37):
To show me.
You know, give me that push,give me that faith.
But I always said, if you'regoing to make it.
Especially in any type ofindustry, you need more than
your people to support you.
You need people that have don'tknow, and the people that don't
know you're going to support youmore.
Because that's just the way itis.
It's not even nothing to get badabout.
Like.
You don't know enough peoplelike no one knows a million
people.
No one can stay in touch with amillion people, but.
(10:57):
Oh million people like you andthey find you entertaining.
And they'll pay for you to bethere, to entertain other
people.
That's a.
It's a great place to be and notanybody can do it, but anybody
can do it.
You know what I'm saying?
Like this is fire by the 90.
We could do it, but anybodycould do it.
Well, yeah, man, you gotta.
You got to go out there and getit, man.
You gotta go out there like.
Almost like conscious, butunconscious, like.
(11:19):
Like relentless.
And at the end of the day over,like, I feel like.
You don't have to like me.
You don't have to love me.
But you will respect me.
Like that's.
I feel like that's, that's all.
Well, at least me.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't care if you ain't likemy podcast.
But are you respected the hustlethat I'm putting behind it?
Yeah, I appreciate that.
But.
Shit.
(11:39):
I don't even respect their,like, You know, between seasons
I'm supposed to do so much more.
Editing is not my favoritething.
I really, I really despise it.
But I'm not in a place in mycareer where I can get it paid
for.
I'm like a rapper right now.
I got to mix and make his ownbeats in.
Put it together until he canhire a Swiss beats or Kanye.
(12:00):
And that comes with it.
Um, No point of getting mad or.
The bane about it.
Some things shouldn't bedebatable, your respect.
your dignity, your pride.
it shouldn't be debatable.
And you're the one that setsthat standard.
It's crazy.
Like.
I feel like from school.
It's like my automatic responseis like, you know, when you got
in trouble at school, you'relike all that.
You know, my, my, my, my notthinking of response.
(12:22):
It's like, oh, let me, you know,And then, well, you know what
I'm saying with shit, kick in.
That man should kick in yourage.
You'll respect.
How you feel.
The NSA and I startedprocessing, then I'm like, nah,
I gotta, you know what I'msaying?
I got to approach this.
it doesn't make me tougher.
It doesn't make me.
And, you know, I feel like it'ssomething that I had to do,
like, like my best friend, like.
Shout out the main, we alwaystalk about this.
(12:43):
Like.
we don't have those situationthe way we though we should have
handled it.
We'll lose sleep.
And then it'll be worse for thenext person.
Cause we will take out whathappened.
You know what I mean?
So, I remember he makes it a, athing to make sure he don't lose
sleep and sticks to his word.
And.
Followed through and all thethings he says, or not later
should go that he feels like.
(13:03):
She didn't be let go.
You know, saying that gravitatestowards me and I'm like, you
know, he, my best friend, I knewthis guy's either.
You know, we were 12.
You know what I'm saying?
He's doing his thing.
You know, And I'm still tryingto figure it out, but the whole
time he's been there telling me,yo, you got this.
You know what I'm saying?
Even when times.
Yo this times are like, yo, Ididn't even, when I was in
Miami, I remember I did not see.
I was ready to go and he's like,nah.
(13:25):
It's not going to be like that.
You always.
Snap out of it.
And.
Ah, I usually do.
This has been a different one.
Cause I'm in a different state.
I got kids now.
It's like a whole different ballgame.
But nevertheless.
Got to get that work done.
There's no excuses.
I'm talking about to the point.
If there's an apocalypse, Godforbid.
If there's an alien.
(13:46):
Invasion, which.
Can I say how a thousand percentof what happened has been in
movies.
But a lot of sightings.
It don't matter.
I just saw, I'll just read astory about a guy that lived in
a fucking iron lung tube.
And graduate and finished schooland I'm over here having a hard
time with all my limbs shit.
Like that eyes I'm like.
And there's so many collegestories.
(14:07):
You think out of respect?
You think I won't respect thosepeople.
That.
I've run a marathon with oneleg.
Finish it the green, but can'tsee.
Take a path that everyone laugh.
And now.
They're telling the best jokesall the time.
I just thought I kept them harshshit.
Yo, that's one thing.
You, you don't have to like him.
You don't like the like soulplan.
You ain't got like his comedy,but you will respect that, man.
(14:28):
He works hard.
He like watching the like, I'mlike, damn sound like.
I was the entertaining.
I mean, I still am.
I think.
But I always been a fun guythat.
Uh, enjoy making people laughand not, everybody's going to
think.
You're funny.
Not everybody thinks Kevin Hartis funny, but he made a career.
Out of something we all love todo.
It's the best medicine.
(14:50):
Episode.
I forgot which one it is.
But it's the best medicine andhe made a career out of it.
And I'm standing there like, yo,that would have.
That's something I would love todo.
Like I love comedy.
But I'll be so all over theplace.
And on top of that, You got a.
I feel like that guy never lostfaith.
It don't matter what.
Rejection.
He got.
He found the way and look athim.
(15:10):
He got a radio station movies.
I hope you don't stop.
But.
Yeah, his, he still does thewhat'd you call it.
The comedy shed, the standup, hestill does it and he don't have
to do it.
Still does it?
You pretty much could doanything you want.
He's been in cartoons, man.
Like I might, I do.
I don't even care.
If he's with.
Lewminatti whatever the fuck Idon't give a fuck.
(15:34):
And Jose.
They give a heart.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
He's been putting stuff outthere.
And.
I don't know what just reallyinspired me.
To wanna like.
Figure it out just like theArnold documentary leg.
Do was a millionaire before heeven became Arnold.
You know what I'm saying?
Before calling nine, he wasalready.
Making bread making moves.
(15:54):
I mean, it's not, I feel likewhat could be better than you
love what you do.
You respect what you do.
And you just.
Happy to wake up and go, goafter it.
Like some people are reallyblessed every day to go do what
they want.
They imagine.
Right.
The only people you keep around,you.
All the people that love you,respect you and admire you.
Not even, they don't have theirmind you, but you know what I
(16:15):
mean?
Like just want nothing for thebest for you.
And they'll get it Swifty.
You can want people to want thatfor you?
But you got to want that forpeople to you can't be this
ain't a one-sided shit.
Like.
I want the best for people mightlike.
You know, shout out to mybrother.
You got a fucking great job.
And now.
Like he's, he's great.
Like.
(16:35):
He said, you know what I'msaying?
His daughters.
Are set.
Happiness, like just purehappiness and love for life.
Cause.
It comes and goes for me.
I really don't when I had kids.
It was on B all because everytime someone would be feeling a
certain way, I'm like, yo, yougot beautiful babies, but you,
but yo, yo we human and.
(16:55):
You have a certain way ofthinking about things no matter
what's changed around you.
You still repeat the sameprocess.
And I feel like I'm stillrepeating the process.
Albert came.
And when I started the podcast,but it's like, I almost thought
I was at the finish line, likeit was over and it was still a
lot of work to do.
And I did not acknowledge that.
Man, we different, man.
(17:15):
Like we could be golden in onething and then be like really
fucked up.
In a whole other thing.
That's what I'm noticing.
Right?
Like ain't nobody perfect.
Right?
Like.
You can be the best baseballplayer in the world and be the
shittiest dad.
You could be the best dad.
It'd be the shittiest cousin.
Like there's no.
Way to be.
(17:36):
You know what I'm saying, thenwe know we're not perfect.
And then get mad when we notperfect.
Like that should be bugging meout.
Like.
I got to work.
I will really get mad.
When I couldn't figure somethingout, but I'm like, if I figured
it out all the time, I will be aperfect rep.
And I will be doing.
Great.
And I will never want to leave.
I like the fact that like I haveto work hard to do good.
cause then I could just takethat energy anywhere.
(17:56):
I was like, I don't need that.
I don't need that to be theplace.
But I'm also grateful.
And, I worked in like, not bythe hour.
And I work by the hour and themoney.
That you get.
For hustling.
And putting shit together is waymore rewarding than just.
Showing up the workforce,because if you just do the
minimum.
Right.
you'll be enough to not getfired.
But when it comes to your ownbusiness to sales, to any type
(18:18):
of thing like that, The less youput the less you get.
So it teaches you like to makeyour own systems too.
Produce results.
And that was thing too.
I got my.
You got to convince yourself.
Where you are and who you wantto be in, what you want to do.
somebody sold you a fucked up.
Story.
And that's why you believe thebullshit.
You believe it.
Like if you, one of thosepeople, like there's certain
(18:39):
people I talk to now and I'mstill talking about dreams and
they looking at me like, I'mcrazy.
And.
At the same time, I canunderstand that.
But you got to think about it,someone.
That believed past that feeling.
Made it, I don't think you canmake it.
Still having that feeling like,ah, Whatever happens happens.
Now you got to do it.
And like people said, the harderyou work, the luckier you get,
(18:59):
man.
And that's the truth.
But to wrap this up, the finalsay is simple as sure.
Go get your fucking respect.
Get a form ups.
Get it from your wifey.
Get it from your husband.
Get it from your fuckingfriends.
Get it from whatever you,wherever you gotta go.
Get it.
Go get that shit.
(19:19):
And don't let it slip up becauseyou let it slip up.
Blunts you going to let it slipup again.
And.
It's a very thin line betweenrespect and disrespect.
So you got to know thedifference, you know what I
mean?
And literally.
Part of self care.
Self-respect is part of selfcare.
One of the highest cause.
You respect yourself to a highdegree.
(19:40):
You don't put certain things inyour bodies.
You don't put yourself aroundcertain people.
You don't put yourself insituations.
You don't want to be it and youbust your ass to get it and you
make it happen.
Sometimes I be like, yo, I gottago get my respect, but it'll
start with them.
Fuck.
Fuck everybody.
Like, no fuck everybody.
But you know what I'm saying?
I'm not worried abouteverybody's respectful.
I don't know if I respect me.
(20:01):
And I followed through with thethings I say without anyone
having to know what I'm doing.
I saw.
Let's see if you really let'ssee really bout it.
Can you work on somethingwithout telling anybody.
Like nobody.
So that means.
Anything you do.
There's nobody worrying about.
If you're going to do tonight ison you.
If you do that.
