Growing up is losing someillusions.
In order to acquire others.
By Virginia Woolf.
Probably not the first time Iquota.
And that pool just went.
So perfectly with what I'mtrying to get across on this
episode.
Which is.
(01:23):
Sometimes we just got to growthe fuck up.
This is what we wanted when wewere younger and now was here
and now we wish we could go backin time.
But we got to face the music.
And.
Mature start doing thingsdifferently.
I feel like that, like, as like,when you think.
Like a kid or.
You think in a way where itdoesn't do you any good?
(01:45):
And you can, and you know,you're to yourself that you
could be.
Childish.
You know, you become acollection of all these child,
these things that make you feellike you're not growing up.
And I feel like that's thebeyond us.
That's kind of what I'm dealingwith.
Like.
I'm a grown ass man.
I'm closer to 40 than I am the30.
Other people say when again,Close to You know, the higher
(02:07):
number.
I'm a father of two beautifultwins and.
Sometimes I look in the mirrorand I be like, yo, you dad acid
that.
Like I'm like, yo, it's stilllike, I love them to death.
Like I can't even, I don't evenremember the world without them
anymore.
And I don't even want to.

The way you saw things before.
It's not the way you should beseeing things now.

They just trying to make.
They just trying to make way oflife more difficult, but.
You in this type of country, youonly the strong survive.
So you got to.
You gotta be one of the strongones.
And like I said, the, the cohorthall cause.
We will have illusions of who wethink we all who we could be.
And we can make them come tolife, but.
We're going to give a flow.
(03:09):
We got to give up the childishones.
In order to embrace.
The adult ones.
Right.
Like.
Uh, what's that saying?
Um, When I grew up, I putchildish things away.
You and I remember when I, uh,when I stopped playing with
toys, when I was like, 11.
I put all them shits out.
Like I put all my toys out and Iwas like, yo.
I'm too old to be playing withthese shits.
(03:31):
I like, that's it.
I watch a BT now.

(03:51):
That was a good quote of theday.
Shout out to Virginia Wolf.
Uh, but yeah, let's get into thenitty gritty of the episode.
Growing pains, man.
Yo, when we were younger, Idon't remember.
Y'all like I saw everythingdifferently.
I saw myself having a car 17.
So myself having all these girlsout myself, having money, I
probably saw myself in the MBA.
(04:13):
Like I really.
Thought I was going to go to theMBA at.
At one point in my life andlike, I didn't even do anything
to really show that, but like, Iremember being younger.
When you, when your mom.
Get your ass inside.
You know what I'm saying?
You you be like IO.
When I get old, I want to stayout.
As long as I wanted to.
Now that you old and older, youdon't stay outside as long as
(04:33):
you want to anymore.
You got to use something.
You got to go aside.
You know what I said?
top be inside of the thing, butwhen you're younger, I don't
even think you even think.
About losing energy to just, ifyou don't have energy, you would
just pass out.
All right.
Um, man.
Which as kids, we didn't knowthat when we took naps.
We did our parents a favor causethey got some time to them.
(04:55):
So they had time to just chill.
You know, I'm living that fromexperience.
From experience every time.
They take the first nap.
That's like, you know, sayingwhen I'm not working.
That's like, you know, that's metime right now.
Like I got to just chill.
They sleep in the F you.
The breakfast already.
that's another thing they don'ttell you about.
I mean, Your parents are likethat with you, but.
(05:15):
It makes a parent's day when.
Their kids eat.
Like every time my kids eat.
I feel full.
You know what I mean?
Like.
I feel complete.
I feel like I'm good now.
You know what I'm saying, but ifthey don't eat.
I don't feel good.
I feel like, I feel off.
Like I can't enjoy my day Butlike the saying says babies,

If they hug me, they going tolet you know.
(05:37):
And you know, they, I think theypretty good.
Well, yeah, growing up.
I remember that toys have rosecommercial.
Out of water to grow up.
Um, that I could play with,like, And I remember like,
feeling that like, yeah, youknow what I'm saying?
Jeffrey yell at me.
Like it was, um, You know what Imean?
(05:59):
Like I probably took that shittoo personally.
And I'm not like.
Childish where everything isjust.
I don't know.
I feel like sometimes I don't befacing that.
I knew I can't do things.
The way I did before.
You know what I mean?
Like I'm older, my life'sdifferent.
It's not where I want it to be.
So I got to do different things.
And this looks to be so aware.
(06:20):
cause it's like.
So be aware and to not do islike it's its own.
You.
It's not any of the noble and atthe end of the day, it's never
on anybody else, but you, but.
When, you know, but.
You know, you question.
Washington's a certain way.
But you haven't.
You haven't did it in adifferent way.
Like you dead eyes wake up.
Mad.
Do the same shit every day.
(06:42):
And then things.
This is going to be different.
I feel like a lot of us do that.
I, you know, of course I'malways speaking about me, but a
lot of us really do that.
Like, I work with people wherelike, They hate a certain
coworker.
They hate that they.
And they were just.
Keep keep going, man.
You're the cycle.
The cycle was real, man.

I had to be able to do that.
You know, and.
a way to grow is to.
Experience things right.
Going into the unknown.
Helps you.
Mature a little bit.

(08:49):
To evolve, to develop, to be.
I feel like this.
Ultimate version of yourself is.
Purposely putting yourself.
In a challenging.
Fearful.
Life changing situation.
And that doesn't have to be likesomething crazy.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, Given the speech.

(09:09):
I read that shit in a book andit said he got through all his
fears after he.
When Scott Dobbins.

Like you're not on this worldafter that date.
And we will have that day.
You.
The date that nobody thinksabout.

And even if you don't got youngones, man, to generate, you
(10:12):

The children are the future.
You know what I'm saying?
Accomplishing things.

(10:34):
It's time to come on all thetime to come on over baby to

I forgot his name, but he's a,he's a, some Brawley dude.
Hey there.

Three days a week.
Now.
You imagine you work 40 hours onpeople work 80.

Get the work only four hours aday.
All your bills are paid.
And you're taking care of you.
Your children and you, but tohelp out with your family when

If you acted like a kid.
(11:15):
You looking for somebody to saveyou?
Or you play a victim or you wentfor a situation to just come
knock on your door.
It's never going to happen.
That's the thing.
So some of us think like, likeincluding myself, That it was
just automatic progression oflife, of how things would be.
But no, you don't become thosethings until you, until you do
(11:36):
those things.
I didn't become a podcast untilI started doing a whole bunch of
episodes.
You don't become in shape by notworking out.
On a regular basis.
you all, what you eat and youare what you do.
So if you have a.
If you feel like me, you haven'tproblems with like, feeling
like.
You know, you're not taking themature route, the grown route.
(11:57):

Electronically.
You know what I'm saying?
You got to lead them.
Like.
Where like they click onsomething and then they go to
your store and they buy it andthey know when they buy it, they
get it.
And then they get something.
And.
Having a whole bunch of peopledo that.
Imagine like, and, and I feellike I'm saying that because I'm
in customer service and I got totalk to certain people.
(13:23):
And I'm like, you know what?
It would be nice if I didn'thave to talk to those people.
You know, and not because.
You know what I mean?
I don't want a job, but just.
Make the money.
On the other side of humaninteraction.
Which is.
You know, working off with.
That's appealing to them.
Well, this is what it's allabout.
Honestly, that's what this wholepodcasting fucking music.
(13:44):
Uh, You find a way to people tocome look for you.
So it's a want to listen to whatyou got to say.
And.
Either there.
Waiting for you to drop some newshit or they listening to your
old shit.
That's like, there's a guy thattalks to me on my job about, um,
There's this podcast, the townDillon.
And I'm like, yo, I wishsomebody was speaking about more
podcasts the way he keepstalking to me about Tom Dylan.

He always got some shit.
About Tom Dylan.
And it's some funny ass shitthough.
I ain't gonna fly.

It is a good shout out.
And heal.
The town guys.
Now I just said it to.
And he don't even record avideo.
He just straight audio and I'mlike, damn, I used to love just
recording audio.
(14:26):
But at the same time, you wantto see the person that's
talking.
You know what I mean?
Like.
Kind of thought you build thatconnection.
You know what I mean?
I used to like, look in therecord in the camera.
Like I'm looking at you.
Like you, I'm talking to you,motherfucker.
I usually look away.
I feel like all podcasts, dothat shit.
But.
Yeah, man, like.
I just guess I just wanted toput this episode out.
(14:48):
Because I'm dealing with it.
And I know I'm not the only onethat dealing with it and it
doesn't have to be.
In all areas you live, it couldbe like one particular area
where you still.
Doing shit childish.
You know, say you being childishwith it.
Like when you, you know what I'msaying?
You can add a little bit of ageand a little bit experience to
that.
You know what I'm saying?
The little salt, babe, that.
Yeah.
(15:08):
So.
Uh, yeah.
But yeah.
You know what the final say?
I usually don't do this for thefinal sale, but I'm going to
freestyle it right.
And I ain't trying to rhyme.
I'm just.
Just going to finish thatepisode out.
There was a song that saidbreaking up is hard to do.
But I think growing up is hard.
Because when we were kids.
That's when life was.
(15:30):
Great.
We didn't have bills.
You know, our parents werearound.
And all we had to do was go toschool.
Why Saturday cartoons and.
Entertain ourselves.
All parents could do what theygotta do.
What time.
Which is a fucking illusion.
It doesn't stop.
And.
We grow old.
(15:50):
Well, we get older.
Of course we get wiser.
Well, sometimes it's a necessarything we have to do.
To obtain.
The life that we want.
And what self-help.
If you can't get the fuckinglife that you want.
Individually takes a little bitof growing up a little bit
mature and a little bit of like,Acting like.
On the adult that's.
Trying to start a business.
(16:10):
On adult that's.
Trying to provide the best ofhis family.
On the thought that just wantsto be.
The best they can be and give itthe best every day.
I think it's worth.
