Speaker 2 (01:11):
Fourth I'd say third.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I feel like this is the third, right, but this
would be.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
The first one.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Was a training video, training video, and the.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Second one was a podcast about.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You wanted to save your relationship, and then the second
one that we did last night was about well, how
we were feeling about the situation of the screenshots that
she sent you. So yeah, tonight would be the third one.
But the funny thing is, so I like to, like
I said, i'd like to title our podcasts different topics,
(01:48):
different reflections, and this I think, if I'm correct, I
think this might be part five, which is crazy, so
that it might be a third podcast in a row,
like this week, it'll be five in our like in
our in our series that I that I titled and
you know or are yeah, which is crazy? Sony, Again,
this is a did I would say the beginning, I
(02:11):
don't remember. Well anyway, if I didn't, if I'm sorry,
I'm kind of tired in the way. This is a
corpus of capsules. Scratch smiles a lot again with my
guest here uh Randy Gachar at Aviation excerpts three and four.
Almost forgot his name now, But anyway, so we're going
to well, this is our third podcast, but like I said,
part five of our series, Different topics, different reflections. And
(02:32):
you know what, actually, I say, as long as you
and I Q doing podcasts, let's make that our official
title to our podcast. I like it. Different Topics, different reflections, Yeah,
because you and I, like I said, we talk about
different topics and many different reflections. Like I said, like
I was saying the podcast the other night or what
or two nights ago, I've noticed that even when we
(02:53):
talk about the same thing, even if it's security or whatever,
it also involves different stories or it involves like different situations,
not always the same thing, you know what I'm saying,
So like it might be the same topic, but it
can be a different reflection. But okay, so let's continue
what happened from last night.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So we're gonna continue from what happened last night. I
believe we left them off with.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I know where we left off with not letting her
win the little battle less she's trying to play with
you in her own childish kind of ways. And I said, look,
I do I appreciate it that do you give her
credit for being a mom, for wanting to be there
for your kids and raise them and actually work and
make money and bringing an income or whatever. But like
(03:41):
I said, I'm gonna say again, don't let her pull
the wool over your eyes as to showing her the
character of who she is based on what she's doing
to you. Yeah, all right, take it away. Oh oh yeah,
talk damn yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
So so when it comes to relationship or even like friendships, honestly,
there's not much you could trust about one of others
or others.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
In general period regardless. You know, because.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
They may seem by their behaviors of actions that they
could be all innocent or nice or you know, everyone's
incident are proven guilty.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Okay, but.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
You just can't trust anyone, okay, because you never know
what their lifestyle is like, you don't know what they're
backstory is like. You don't know if they are who
they are or they say what they are, or even
they look like what they are.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Like.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
For example, let's say you could be a millionaire. Okay,
you could be a millionaires. You seem it looks like
you can have like an education, uh, a wealthy career,
great stuff for him coming and stuff, right, But that
(05:08):
doesn't mean that you're innocent or like you could still
be a good person or something, because you know, there
you could have a background that no one else knows about,
you know.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Like how did you get those millions? It could be
through some business, you could be whatever. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, So like that's just an example. I don't know
anyone like that or I'm not like that. But is
that in reality? Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I don't know, mm hmm, but I just know that, Yeah,
be careful with who you're around, who you're spending time with,
who you're hanging out with, you know, because one person,
it takes one person to mess up your life.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It takes that one person to turn your life upside down.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It's a go saying the other day, you know, like
my old friend that I don't want to name, and
I don't want to give out the situations as to
why we stopped talking to me. Like I said, you
know the one who he told you stole from me,
But I said, I forgave him for stealing from me,
but his character is what I couldn't forget because you
showed me. It's true colors same thing. Literally, it's the
exact same thing that you just said. The reason I
(06:21):
trust you is because you show me who you really
are and you're a good person. And he's like, if
you didn't trust me. If you didn't know who I was,
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have told me to try
to go into security because like, if I'm a bad egg,
you would be like, yeah, I don't you know what
I'm saying, because like you know, like I like, here's
the thing, Like I might not be doing armed security.
I might not have like authority except for like being
(06:41):
a watchman, which is fine or whatever. But you know,
I wear the badge with honor and dignity. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying, Like I take it seriously. So
what I'm saying is that like, yeah, you get what
I mean. So yeah, one thing is that if I
was a bad egg, I wouldn't be trying to do
security adult whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I mean, But so you no, I know what you're saying.
And I think that's kind of also ties back into
me saying again the whole thing about no offense to her.
But usually whenever somebody accuses you of cheating or accuses
you of this, this is that right away off the bat,
that usually means they're doing it. First, her accusing you
(07:22):
of cheating, her accusing you going out to clubs, her
accusing you of trying to get with all these girls
or whatever and all that. This is why she created
those fake profiles to keep talking you bubblah whatever you
want to know why, And like I get again, she
was trying to make take control of a situation that
wasn't a situation, and she was trying to make it
something into a situation that didn't even need to happen. Yeah,
(07:43):
I know. Look, I know I'm repeating the same thing
I said last night, but it needs to be said
again because it is like, how do you wrap your
mind around like like that some some somebody that does
that to you.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Right, I mean, it's just like I said, it takes
that one crazy person, you know, to have that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, I don't know, man, I just I know what
you mean. It's making me think of my relationships and
my ex girlfriends and things like that, and why I'm
actually so glad I have my wife because of the
(08:28):
fact I know her. She knows me. We've literally known
each other since we were kids, like very much, you
know what I'm saying, And that's why, well we fell
in love with each other. Of course, were the stereotypical
you know story of like oh guy, and girl becomes
you know, good friends and then best friends. I think
we're gonna go further than that. Maybe not, I ligit
thought it was just gonna be best friends for a
long time. And then of course, you know, I got
(08:51):
feelings for each other and yeah, and one thing that
to another, and honestly, that's like why I'm so glad
that I did marry her. M h, I think I
told you this story real quick. You're gonna love this.
So my shout out to my cousin Maddie. By the way,
she was always the voice of reason, and I wanted
(09:15):
to fight against the voice or reason so bad all
the time, but she was always right. I I got
to admit she was always right. Yeah, so she's always
telling me you stop being with his girls and gave
with Maggie before it's too late, right or whatever. So
one night we were at a family event or some
(09:35):
kind of party thing whatever, having a blast, having a
great time. We're both we're both hammered. I'm gonna be honest,
we were. We were shit faced. We're having a good time.
And back when I was you know, smoking cigarettes whatever,
you know, we're just like, you know, having my like
you know, a drunken cigarette whatever, and we were outside
and she she's like hey, and I'm like what, And
(09:55):
I'm like, I'm gonna be as sensitive as I can
or everybody. She said a lot of funny things, but
she was like, you need to stop getting with all
these dumb girls who are hurting you, breaking your heart,
you know, and doing all that whatever. But blah blah blah.
And she's like, and you need to get with Maggie
before you realize or she realizes that she's gonna short
(10:19):
before and before you realize that you're gonna lose something
that you know that we all know that you've always
wanted to have. And not only that, but she's gonna
think of you or she's gonna think that you're treating
her like the rebound girl and you don't want that.
She's like, she's like, you need to get with her,
and I'm like, yeah, you know whatever. But evidently again
(10:42):
she was right. So thank you, Maddie, Madeline Bud And
I'm sorry about all those times that I tried to
fight against what you had to say, because again you
were right. And of course, you know, when we got
married or whatever I think on the micro when I
got handed the microphone. I was like, it was finally
right or about time, or I think somebody said it
was about time, or I can't remember. Somebody yelled at her.
(11:03):
I said it. It's pretty funny though, but you know,
of course. But what I'm beginning is that, like your
issue is that you know her, that's why you love her.
But the downside of it is that I don't know
(11:25):
if I honestly, I don't know if it's because of
her past. I don't know if it's because of how
she was raised. I don't know what's going on, but
she has the sight of her that well isn't good
and it's not fair to you. And look, as your friend,
I don't like seeing it happen to you, But I
have to give you the benefit of the doubt for
trying to be a devoted guy who's trying to save
your marriage. But she's out clubbing, she's out probably cheating,
(11:49):
and like you said, or like we both said the
other day or night day a couple of days ago,
this is a good chance she's pregnant by somebody else's
with someone else's child. So I don't Again, I'm not
putting her on blast I'm not attacking her. I'm not
trying to be mean. I'm not trying to put your
lap out of there on blast. But the thing is that,
(12:10):
like you want a good friend to talk to, and
you know, like I feel like if we talk about
this and give our advice or like put or like
we have a good back and forth, maybe whoever listens
to this might be going through the same thing. Maybe
we can make them feel better.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Right Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I want too.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I want to be able to save and change your
lives rather than hurt and destroy.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Right. Notice how I'm not again, like I said, I'm
not attacking her. I'm not saying what she I mean.
I'm only saying what she does based on what I'm
observing and from what you've told me the information. I'm
not coming up with anything else. I'm not being fake.
I'm not you know, I know, I'm not you know,
being me and I'm not calling her names, but because
(12:53):
I'm trying to be respectful. But as your friend, you know,
I hate seeing it happen to you. Yeah, it's not cool,
It's it's really not I'm sorry, man, I wanted a
person to feel for you. Honestly, I'm real.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Sorry, Like see, I just speak the truth that I
explain everything the way they are.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I don't make I don't make.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Up with shit.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I don't like.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
No, I'm not that type of person.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It's there's no reason to be like I've realized that
in my life. The reason I think that I'm happy
is because I'm not fake. Because yeah, I get angry,
I get mad him human, But at the end of
the day, I know that I got my way to
(13:41):
try to be a nice guy, to actually put someone
other people's face, be funny, joking, silly, be plenty, you know,
like have my quip, be silly, funny humor, you know
what I'm saying. But and like because of that, like
a lot of the counselors that camp or whatever, they
started following me and then Instagram. So because of that,
(14:01):
now since they're following me and I, you know, I'm
trying to do my social media stuff, They're gonna start
telling other friends about me or whatever and my words
and I'm probably gonna spread around where I work. So
that way, maybe I could be not maybe like I
don't want to say, like famous amongst amongst the kids,
amongst the kids there, but maybe I could just get
like a better recognition because you know those teenagers and
(14:23):
know those kids like they're They're on YouTube, Instagram like
all the time. So I'm saying, is that me trying
to get the following to maybe getting my name out
there more, maybe spreading my audience. I don't want to
put that on those kids though, I'm not I'm not
gonna like bombard them because I got a job to do,
you know or whatever. I want them to respect me
(14:43):
as a security officer, but also know, like, hey, like
come check out my fun cool like little channel where
I can maybe like make you feel better if you know, know
whatever with an advice video or a podcast or of
what I'm talking about, or maybe like moving my food
for thought posts or you know what I'm saying, just
like I'm getting is that like me, I'm just getting out?
You know, I don't know, man, there's just but anyway,
(15:05):
let's get back to what we were talking about. So what
do you think I mean? I mean, I know it's
gonna be not a loaded question because there's a lot
of ways to go about this, But what do you
(15:26):
think you're gonna maybe like do in the end? Of
about this or what what do you think it would
be like a good plan of action as of right now?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I mean, I don't know if I really have an
action set yet or a plan placed out yet on
what I need to do.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I'm still trying.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
To figure things out. You know what, In my opinion,
maybe you should wait to see what she does first.
You don't know what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm going with
the flow because you don't want to jump the gun
and then maybe say something bad or do something stupid
and then like you ended up looking like the idiot whatever,
because she will use it. From what I understand, she'll
(16:12):
use that against you as you're probably post about it
online or something. I don't I don't know. I don't
even want to know what her Facebook looks like when
you two are fighting. Cool.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I mean she.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
It's on private, so you can't really see nothing, can't
see post the pictures, nothing or statusist, none of that.
I wouldn't even want to know either, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Because if she's making fake profiles and in one of
her bios and one of the fake profiles and straight
up says I hate I hate my ex, which is
clearly you God only knows that what she's probably putting
as her status on Facebook, Like she said, even though
she's not tagging you, she.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Could still be like putting pictures of me with like
captions or whatever. Santa, Oh it's his abuse or this
is uh a bad guy.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Criminal like.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
You.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It just making enough stuff about you. Yeah, this is
why again we were talking about like, you know, be
cool to be like not well famous, but you know,
he he always like see all these like popular people
or popular kids, you know, the end crowd and going
to parties and you know, yeah whatever. I mean, I
(17:30):
kind of got to experience that with my friends. But
we weren't like cool or popular. We were just you know,
we like to party, I mean, getting guys that we
had a good time at the way, but at the end,
and I know we've talked about this a lot before,
but having a close inner circle, actual real close friends,
better than being around fake people who show you who
they really are exact and and not in the not
(17:52):
in the good way. It's just and I don't understand.
I don't understand why people don't have the balls anymore
to cut people out of their life when they need to.
(18:14):
Might listen to the summing.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Really, people only cut people out when it's necessary.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Look, I know that sounds mean to say because I'm
trying to mean, but just smiles a lot and misrepositivity
make a difference. Whatever, blah blah. But look, if people
want my advice, and if they want me to be
real or real as I can be, if someone's toxic,
if someone's just not good for you, if someone is literally,
like you said, being detrimental to your life, but that's financially,
emotionally or whatever. In general, motion off is screwing you
(18:41):
over in any way at all, whatsoever possible, just say
I'm done. Yeah, I I just just just say it,
this is over, Like I mean, let me like, I'm
not gonna name him. But you remember my old friend.
I told you I gave him another chance. Yeah, and
I say I need that long message of what I
(19:01):
sent to him that basically the same.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Sorry, but I was tired of you. Yeah again out
of respect, but I was.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Okay, I probably have a little I probably have a
few things worse than what he has too.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, only that way. He's a good guy. I was
just tired of his excuses, especially and when he kept
on going back to alcohol as like you know, or
like his reasons to keep drinking, and I'm like, I
can't do this. I can't.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yeah, like I drink now and then, but I'm not
no alcohol.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
But I'm going to talk because like alcohol all right,
but I'm know on the top because I used to
party like every weekend, like I said, my friends back
in high school. And then also like I said, I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Shit, honestly, I could be I can have five beers,
three shots of aoka, and I'll still be stone cold silver.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah. I mean, well because you're not saying that bad
way you're used to it. But I mean, like what
I'm saying is that like I didn't, like I didn't
the first time. I didn't really necessarily give up on him.
He the first time we stopped talking, he kind of
gave up on himself, you know, in a way. And
then he emailed me, and I was like, you know what,
(20:18):
let's see what happens trying to be his friend again.
Started hanging out for like actually go right a bit.
But then I could just see that what I thought,
how life got better and I did not you know what,
(20:41):
fuck it, I'm gonna pride to my friends I'm gonna
give you two stories, maybe three. So was one time. Yeah,
m hmm. I'm trying to see how I can say
this without putting him on a blaster being too mean,
(21:02):
cause I I I don't want to be mean. But
here's a good example of like why I needed to
get away from that friendship. So he had an in
abusive I don't know if their X or there's stuff
together or not. Well, she was not used to drinking
(21:23):
like he was. And long story short, he went to
the uh gas station or never get some food, drinks whatever,
blah blah, came back, led her off. Door was open,
he like cracked open. He's like, what's going on? Yeah,
Well she took like four straight four or five straight
shots of it of his of his like vaka or
(21:44):
his whisky or whatever. She wasn't blastered, m plastered. Well,
she was already physically mentally abusive. Yielded at him, I mean,
like lending him for everything. It was bad, Like he
would show me videos and send me voice messages. I'm
just like wow, like it was the same yeah the guy,
you know, Yeah, it was bad. I felt bad for him,
(22:05):
but he kept on using you know, his parents and
all everything that's gone through is excuse you know, he
would post on four chand thinking, you know, like anti
like you know, anti establishmentarianism stuff or kind of going
against the man or whatever, you know, posting edgy memes,
you know, like or anti government memes, just being funny,
and it's just like like thinking it's making like a
(22:27):
difference in the world. It's like, you're not you. I'm sorry,
this isn't doing anything. Yeah, it's just wow. Was what
was the one tepe thing? That's something that text like something?
It's it's like, is your suffering as being imitated as
his art or or I can't even remember, but like
I said, some I said some very opening, mind mind
(22:50):
and mindful andsightful things to try to get through with him.
I've tried every which way to help him, and it
just it just won't. It wouldn't get through. And I
don't like to give up on people, but he just
he just wasn't He wasn't getting it. And that's why
I don't want to reiterate. I don't want to read
it out loud, and I don't because I want to
put him on blast, like I said, But that's why
I sent you that long text of him of what
(23:12):
I had to say to him. But I blocked his number,
but I don't think I deleted the text. I think
it's still there. So just in case I want to
him block him to maybe see how he's doing, it
is still on my phone. I think I have to look,
but I don't want to exit out of the app
because I don't want to run her recording or you know,
(23:32):
possibly haven't cut off. Anyway, here's the story. Sorry, So
he walks in, he goes hello, Hello, She attacks him
like full long just I don't know she tackled him,
hit him. I mean, I do know what happened. Ultimately
just starts wailing on him. Whatever one is on the ground,
(23:54):
starts putting her knee and it's like rig confrontation. Yes,
there's putting his knee in her ribs, her naing his
ribs just like until like almost crushes, like stomping them
and like kneeing the crap out of It's like what
do you do in the anyway? So you know, obviously
the neighbors are I think I don't know who called
them bullies and there things just got weird her her
her dad came and he was like a weird guy.
(24:15):
I wanna I want to anyway. Look, I'm just that's
just a good situation.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Did to get taken in on domestic violence.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Or did she for about a week uh or two
or something like that, and then when she got back
all she said was well she said was, oh yeah,
I'm hungry, Let's play video games like it's a nothing.
Even It's like she needed a lot of mental health
issue help. That's why anyway, I had to get away
(24:48):
so I can protect him, not just my family.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
But me.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I was like, you know what, I've got to I
can't be doing this. Secondly, when she was out, I'm
really I'm sorry Ardence if I do sound like I'm
kind of going against who I am and my brand
and my business and like when I'm trying to represent.
(25:12):
But you know, I'm trying to be more grown up,
I guess you could say with what I'm saying, or
more of an adult, you know what I'm saying Like this,
I'm trying to be more like a real you know
what I'm saying. Yeah, Cause I can be always trying
to be heavy to go lucky, but sometimes I feel
like if I'm trying to run a business. It's called
let's talk. I mean, I think we need to talk
about real things sometimes, yeah, but non controversial things that
are like a that'll Again, I'm not trying to attack him.
(25:34):
I'm just letting you know about like situations of like
why it's better keeping a small inner circle. This is
all gonna come back around to what we're saying originally. Yeah,
so he had cats or they had cats or whatever,
and you know they they didn't have any k katie litter,
so they were just going in like this box into
the corner and dude, it was wow. Oh it was.
(25:57):
It was I've never smelled anything like that my own
in my terrible I mean, I've smelled some cat poop poop,
but that was wow. Yeah. Anyway, so I go over
there as a good friend or whatever, and I get
all of my stuff that I can for cleaning whatever,
blah blah blah. My pine salt mixed, so I think
I mixed pine salt with a little crud cutter or whatever,
and I got my I got my spray up, and
(26:18):
you know, then I used on some Mister Clean to
like get the counters all and everything even help them
scrub down the toilets. His toilet is sink whatever or whatever.
I said, you're getting your bathtub on your own. We
sprayed the credit out of the where the cat cat
rooms are and all that. I helped them couchhop. I mean,
I was like, you're gonna get inside the crevices of
(26:39):
your own couch. I'm not doing that. So basically I
was there for almost like three four hours or so,
made the place smell immaculate and smell it way better,
and those probably the cleanest has ever been whenever. And
then I he said thank you and all that and everything.
But then when she comes back, she's like, this isn't
even acknowledged and I even care that is clean whatever,
(27:00):
not that I want to get credit from her because
like of all the abuse was just mentally and physically,
like everything that she's done to him and the whole
relationship that been together. I was trying to get praised,
but it's like this is how it should be, just
to let you know. But anyway, yeah, I just I
don't know. All I know is that mm hmm. I
(27:30):
love the guy, which is which sucks and actually kind of.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Is an ongoing occurrence though.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, like we were talking about reoccurrences like, let's it
actually kind of hurts me to talk about this because
I feel really bad for him and I did, damn it,
I'm getting emotional here. Man. I didn't want to get
(28:00):
up on him. I didn't, but I just I had
no choice. Yeah, I'm sorry. I just I had to
to protect me, protect my family, protect my foundation, and
protect my own building. Protect. I just I couldn't be
associated with what was going on anymore. I mean, I
thought it was bad in love with his parents and
oh my god, like this guy gout even seems it
(28:21):
seemed to even worse when he got away from them. Yeah, technically,
but not really at all. Don't want I could even
talk about that. I just, uh, I don't know bro anyway.
So that's that's that's just like, that's like, like, you
know what, that's a story. There's so many other you know,
I think that's the only story I wanna say about it.
(28:42):
But yeah, I was just tired of the excuses of
viz Anti d that's ah Anti whatever, all that his
parents is raising. Like I I like, I I get it.
And you saw that text myself. I was like you.
I was like, I know you had a bad upbringing.
But guess what SO did in love for other people,
But you keep on going that as an excuse to them.
That's why I think he went to therapy for a while.
(29:07):
I just wish he had a therapist. I wish he
had something tody to really help him. I would give
him my advites. I talked him as much as I could.
I mean there were times where i'd you know, like
at work, just talking to him for hours. I got
on my headphone or whatever, because I wouldn't be really
doing much or whatever, you know, especially in like days
where there was real slow I mean, but you excuse me,
(29:30):
but yeah, I mean I could tell him the background.
He's drinking the whole time, you know, just going through
packs of smokes. You know, it's like living this weird life.
And I'm not trying to be mean anyway, Like I
do miss the guy he but the reason I miss
him is because he actually is a good friend, or
he could be a good friend. It's just that he
had excuses. He had reasons to keep drinking. He wouldn't listen,
(29:57):
you know, like you know, and you saw her the text,
you know, getting have to throw him on the bus
or put bum blast. But uh, he told me the
story about how he got kicked out of a bar,
thinking it was real funny and then and then whatever,
and I was like, it's not funny. It was a
good it was funny, it was, but it was kind
of that's fifty to fifty. Well he told me it's
fifty fifty. I was like, that's all I needed to hear.
Men like that showed me that, like, you don't have
to you know, respect what I had to say or whatever.
(30:20):
As my friend or so called friend. It's like, you
know what, I'm trying to give you advice. I'm trying
to like, lets you know, like I'm worried about your drinking.
You know what I'm saying, But you don't want to
listen to me. So I was like why, yeah, you know,
I like he sat on the text or how Yeah,
it wasn't worded like that, but it was. It was
pretty much essentially that. I was like, what else did
I say? It was like, what did he do? I
(30:51):
think he told me like he went into a bar
or whatever, and they could tell he's already you know,
too drunk or whatever, and they're like, no, I can't
be in here or they gotta go, and he was like,
can I get some water? And like I sure, he
got some water, and think he told me he went
to another bar, to another gay station, whatever, and he
said it came back to the bar, he started doing
like shots or drink or drinking something like, started checking
(31:12):
whatever in front, like at the bar that they told
him that you know, he couldn't drink it and they
and I think it was a bar. He frequent it
actually a lot back in his day. And then he
got kicked out or whatever and by permanently, and he
thought and he told me like it was a joke,
like he thought it was funny. And then that's when
I said to him, hey, man, that's not really funny.
(31:34):
That that's that sounds like a problem. I was like, look,
I'm being your buddy here that that's that's not cool,
like like I know it's in a way in hindsight,
and maybe in some weird way it is kind of silly.
I mean maybe like in a movie or a comedy,
like it'll be funny like seeing like like oh you're
gonna be like that. I won't guess what, you know,
(31:54):
I'll get the revenge in some way like in the
comedy movie. Sure, but in real life that's not that's
not funny, that's not universe, that's y. Yeah, that's a problem.
You know, that's an issue. Sorry, And then he was
and then I was like, I was like, dude, honestly,
it was like, no offense, but you should be kind
of embarrassed about that, yeah, you know, I I And
I said to him, I would be if I was
in that situation. And that's when he goes, oh, it's
(32:14):
fifty to fifty and I was like, mkay, thanks. I
was like, so you're just basically just saying screw me
right in in a way like oh, it's half it's
half serious, half funny. No, it's it's it's serious. Like
it's not it's not funny, right anyway, Like I was,
(32:37):
n I was done giving him another U. I I
I in a way, I'm glad in a way, I'm
kind of giving him another little load of a chance,
just because you know, it was good to see him
again for the time being of when we were hanging
out yet again. But at the same time, at the
same time, I regret it because he, like I said,
you're you know, you're pretty much and that but like
(33:00):
he kind of pulled the wall of our minds, maybe
making me think that he's drinking, is settled down and
like getting a better life where things are better dude
than no, but by no means any better. And yet
for some reason I kept on sticking around just you know,
even then, you know, after that email or after me no,
but they will give me an the chance because I
was trying to see if he could do better, but
he just I don't know, man. Again. But that's the
(33:23):
thing is that, like I feel bad for him because
if I was parents trated and how they raised him,
how they abused him, like in the ways that they
did and everything. I feel bad for him for his
past relationships, all the all the bull crap he's gone through.
But at the same time again and I know him
beating myself the excuse is to keep on going back
to drinking or to keep on having that's just like
(33:45):
like just anti everything attitude and like trying to be
all edgy and you know whatever and just say like
it's like it's not funny, It's just it's not cool anyway.
I'm trying to be real, but I'm also trying to
be as nice as I can even though that I've
probably said a few maybe slipped out a few things
in my son mean or harsh, but I just I
(34:07):
just want to be real. It's just I don't I don't. Again,
I don't understand, don't understand why people don't have the
balls to be like you know what, man, Hey, I
know we were good friends, love you to death, but
I can't. This is too much like like you. You've
become like in a way, your drama and your trauma
(34:29):
that you're putting on yourself is now starting to affect
me mentally and physically, and I can't and I can't
do it anymore. So, like I was saying the other day,
like I know you like you asked me for my
advice on things I'm trying to not deal with us
with with what's going on with with your ex. But
but the things that I appreciate you being a good
enough friend and not give me every detail and not
(34:51):
drama or trauma dump on me because I've already got
my own ship to take care of and deal with, right,
Like we talk about stuff or whatever, But I don't
trauma dump on you. I don't drama dump on you.
I'm not sending you like those like long long ass
texts of like, yeah, man, you know what this person
did to day. I'm not I'm not doing that because
I'm not. I'm not going to do that to you,
(35:11):
right because I'm not. I'm not trying. I'm not that
kind of a friend. I don't you know what I'm saying.
But so what I'm getting as that like I don't know,
I just talked for a long time. But anyway, these
are examples of what I'm trying to say, Like we
were talking about, like watch out for so much true character,
watch out for how they really are, how they really act,
and how they really talk and just their actions or whatever.
(35:34):
Don't don't Yeah, yeah, so you talk ahead like I'm
a question, what do you think about all I said
in all these stories that I told you, I told
you so far about like my situation with him, or
just like do you have any similar situations where you
wanted to hold onto a friendship so bad but they
kept on doing things to where you were like I can't,
And if you do, can you give me an example,
(35:55):
I mean, without being too without being too controversial, and
what you want to say, like don't throw them under
the bus, but just you know.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Honestly drink broken.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I can think of one. His name begins with an a.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah yeah talking about I know if you actually.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Some past friends like that too, that you that that
would only use me for like money or places to stay,
free food, free drinks and stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I mean, I just.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
I'm tired of that crap.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
I'm honestly, I'm tired of all that sometime that bullshit,
Like some people just don't deserve happiness, like they just
like to drag hill around with them.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
They do.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
I'm a person of happiness, yeah, but you gotta give
me that happiness.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Though, Yeah, don't say that, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
I your fuck.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I don't know. I just.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
People irritate me sometimes, they really do. M They they
just irritate the living shits out of me.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
As much as I try to be a good nice guy,
like I said, I'm I'm the same way. I'm sorry,
like I'm a human, you know, but I don't hm.
I try not to let it get to me though.
That's that's the thing that's like they might irritate me,
but then I'm just like, you know what, they're probably
having a bad day or I need to see it
from their perspective or h you know, I need to
(37:40):
think of things of how you know, like I you
know what I'm saying. It's just it can get hard
sometimes though. And I'm not just talking about security, I'm
talking about just things in general life, you know. Yeah, like, yeah,
(38:08):
I'm pretty sure in my best owning summons, I might've
done things wrong to people and messed up or screwed
them over or or just whatever. I mean, you know,
everybody lies. We're let's be on a're a live role
center's one. We're not perfect. Yeah, but like I don't
(38:31):
deliberately do it. I don't do it on purpose. I
don't want it. I it's and then you know, actually,
I remember a long time ago I made a video.
It was a while it was actually was a while ago.
It was tell I'm sorry. And I was saying sorry
to P T P to anyone in the past that
I might've hurt or blah blah blah blahlah or not
I might've you know, however they feel about me and
I and I said, I'm sorry. I was letting you
(38:51):
know I'm changing or I've changed, I'm trying to be
a better person. Blah blahah.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
The real question is do they deserve an apologies?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
You know what? Honestly, Okay, at the maybe maybe not.
I will say this.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Mm okay, this is gonna sound weird.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
It wasn't geared towards how who. It wasn't geared towards
how people treated me in high school. I can tell
you that much. I wasn't saying sorry on my Perstuey.
I don't have a reason to say sorry to them.
They were the ones who bullied me. So but what
I'm saying is that if there was ever a time
before or after that, I guess you could say, and
then I might have done anything like where I lied,
anyone manipulated what I'm just in my own you know,
(39:41):
being a dumb teenager and you know, having my hormones
go over the place or whatever stupid shit I was doing.
That's what I was saying sorry for an EXTENSI where
like you know, being like, hey, you know, if anything
I've done in the past, like even something mediocre, you know,
But I'll say, like the people who I know were
trying to hurt me or scream me over in whatever
way that they could, I wasn't saying sorry to them.
(40:02):
I'll tell you that right now. Yeah, so, but do
they deserve it? Maybe not? But you know what though,
sometimes they don't. But I think it would just be
and sometimes in life it's it is gonna sound crazy.
(40:24):
This is why I think they say it's better to
forgive and forget than colon to a grudge. Whatever they say.
I mean, here's an example. There was a foul and
I actually just saw this. There was a core case.
I don't know if you remember this or not, and uh,
it went pretty worldwide if I'm correct, but it was
it was a dad. I don't know if he was
(40:46):
Muslim or Middle Eastern or what what. He anyway, very
he and uh it was very humbling. You're very sweet.
He forgave the guy who killed his son.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Oh yeah, I know we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I've seen it on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
It's like wow, like lung hug, kiss on the cheek
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Everything I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
I want. I got emotional. I was like, that is
that that's that's somebody who's who's sound God. And there's
like definitely or whatever whoever he praise to whatever, that
that that's somebody who who who's figured his ship out. Yeah,
that's like to be like, dude, that's that's like that's
(41:34):
like Buddhist monk level like peace of mind, Like what
the fuck? Like, how do you?
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Mm hmm?
Speaker 1 (41:44):
It's nice and forgiving as zion. I don't know if
I could even be like, I'm sorry, but like the
reason I'm that's impressive. It's impressive to be that, to
be that. Huh what Like No, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Fan of like talking about religion, politics and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
Yeah, but I feel like whatever religion he was, that
did to do something with it too. Yeah, the way
he was raised. Yes, yeah, yes, yes, I'm sorry. Why
are we gonna say that? Or that pretty much saying
for you, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
I'm not really a big feeling of like talking about religion,
you know what I mean? That is somewhat related to
the religion though.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
The belief system. And yeah, was he Muslim? I think, yeah,
that's what I thought. I mean, that's man. Good for him,
good good for him? Cause wow. Yeah. And the fact
that the guy who did it too said I've got
I've got a daughter he said, like a daughter or
(42:50):
a son or whatever he's actually I think he said.
And then they say he's gonna stand behind us or whatever,
like he's only like three or four, and it is
I always say these two or I I just I
just mixed the whole bunch of different ages like that
was a huge gap. But what I'm saying that I
remember even the guy who killed his son he said
he was like, I couldn't imagine. Remember he says that
(43:10):
I couldn't imagine when they say and then they say
something along the lines of like the pain and the
surfing that I put you through and the fact that
you forgave me forty was like he was like that
says something. It's like, well, yeah, I mean it should
or however it went down. I'm probably butchering the video,
but you get what I'm saying. It's like, wow, dude,
like that's yeah, that was inspirational. I how it makes
(43:40):
you whenever the junior or whatever, but it really makes
you think, like I need to start living my life
like that. So again, as angry as I get, as
much as I hate bullies, as much as I might
hate things in the world, as much this is Oh,
this goes back to me saying the reason I'm happy
(44:01):
is because of the fact that or whatever I feel
like that is because I live my life to be happy.
I live my life to where unless it's liked my
(44:22):
social media feed whatever. I don't let negative things in.
I don't. I don't let negative people around me. I
don't let negative things in my life. I don't let
tax of things in my life. I like I said,
I might see controversial things on social media, but I
don't talk about them. I don't bring it up. I don't.
I don't follow politics. I don't. What I'm saying is
(44:44):
that I think people would be happier. I think people
might live better lives and if they try to live
a happy life. And I don't know why it's hard
for people to do that. Feel bad for them that
they that they can't, but they that they haven't figured
out how to do that, you know what I mean,
(45:06):
Like maybe they I don't know. And like I'm not
saying I've got my left figured out completely all the way,
I mean I do, and a lot you and I
both have our legs figured out, like you were saying
the other night, a lot more than you know most
people doing other ship together. But what I'm getting at
is that, like it's it's like you know, whenever adults say,
(45:29):
like I know what I'm doing, but I don't know
what I'm doing, you know what I mean? How many
how many adults like do you see who look like
they're happy with what they're doing with them Like I
wish I was really doing something doing something something else?
You know? Really? Yeah, exactly Like when I'm saying, is
that m okay, he's a good example, like by how
(46:00):
I run this business, how I do my media stuff, right,
I guess you could say there could have been so
many different ways of how I could like do it
or my different ways or ideas of how I want
to run it. Yeah, I'm happy with how I do
it because it's my own thing. And excuse me, I'm
not really doing anything different than anybody else technically honestly,
(46:23):
but in a way, I am like how many people
I mean, I'm sure there's a million of them whatever, especially
that they are mental health experts. You could probably look
them up on YouTube. But how many people do you
really see giving like real sincere advice videos based on
like just life in general, that where it's coming where
(46:43):
I'm giving advice based on coming from my heart and
my head, you know what I'm saying, Like I'm putting
real feeling emotion behind it. How many times do you
really see I mean again, I'm sure there's a lot,
but people who are making like a thoughtful for thought post.
I mean you sure you see people posting martial arts
or boxing videos or work every videos to be like inspirational.
(47:03):
But you know, like I just want to continue that
trend as well. But in a way I kind of
do it my own way with my own different edits
and the second how I present things, you know, like
you know, I mean everyone's got a podcast now these days,
you know. I mean that's no different, but I guess
in the way I kind of do things different, no,
especially like with the way I do my solo podcasts
(47:25):
like we were talking about the other night, you know,
with the with the whole me looking at articles and stuff.
But what I'm saying is that again, I feel like
or if you have something looked forward to, you know,
like your kids, maybe something like that's gonna make you happy,
(47:46):
or something coming in like my new business polo shirt
that came in and fits me great, kind of shows
on my muscles a little bit too. I kind of
like it anyway, it looks real professional. I mean I
love how the logo came out knowing, you know, I
going home to my kid or whatever, like you know.
The one thing is that again, I know, I'm repeating
myself and I do it all the time, which I
know gets annoying. Sorvy buddy, But you can live a
(48:10):
happy life if you ignore all the bullshit and just
let happiness into your life. I don't understand. Again, easier
said than done. I get it. And then I guess
this kind of goes back to my old friend. I
wish he could find that happiness to break away from
(48:30):
all the stuff that he keeps on going through and
keeps on using an excuse as an excuse to keep
on drinking and not living up to his full potential.
Yeah you know what I'm saying, yeah, and and but
the but but again, like y, I just yeah, I
don't know, man, Like, what what do you think about
all this? So I'm saying like, M.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (48:58):
I just.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (49:10):
I mean that's I I think I've said some pretty
insightful stuff. But I mean it's like and I and
hopefully what I'm saying like riches like someone or like
they think like huh dah, think of it that way
or I I I don't know, but there's so many
(49:32):
different ways of like so many different ways of how
to talk about something, you know what I mean. Yeah,
it's interesting. Yeah, I I guess all in all, the
end of the day, you just it's like with somewhere,
(50:13):
it's kind of like those moments where you think back
to when you were like a young yeah, and you
thought you knew what heartbreak was, or like you're going
through something that made you like real emotional and you'd cry.
You just have like that feeling of being lost or
lonely or whatever, and you know, you break or like
you know, like a break up, you cry, gets said
about blah blah, you like, this is the end of
my life. And then like as you get older, you're
(50:34):
like why why was I But but the things that
like that can either make you or break you, right right,
So I guess for me, it kind of did a
little bit of both. And I think that's why I'm
so emotional and I'm and I try to be loving
even though that I know how mean and darkness of
(50:56):
the world really is. Yeah, And I think because of
that as my the main reasons, that's why I try
to be so positive. That's why I I know, I'm
repeating myself all the time, but that's why I do
that kind of shit. Cause man, sometimes just like you know,
I hate, I can, I can hate the world. I can.
Oh oh yeah, I can. Y you know what I'm saying.
(51:21):
But I try not to. I really try not to. Uh,
have you got anything else to say? Or like, uh,
what else or any other questions or like anything you
wanna add or I like anything you wanna finish off with.
Speaker 4 (51:37):
I don't think I do.
Speaker 1 (51:38):
Right. Yeah, let's see, we've been oh fifteen minutes almost
some hour. Nice, Okay, Well I kind of feel like
na uh and you know, I don't mind. I I
feel like we might've been I w it definitely wasn't
the same podcast, but we did talk about a lot
of same diff or land the same, but like different things,
(52:00):
you know, examples. You know, I'm me telling you stories
of my body and this crazy ex or whatever anything
you know. But uh, yeah, I just you know something
I actually wanted to say to you speaking of which
but everything that I've gone through when it came to
(52:22):
my dad and being bullied and just like speaking all
the ooh, speaking all the heart ache that can make
you or break here, right, A lot of people have
told me or you know, my past or whatever, and
even my therapists or like she said it without saying
it anyway, she was like, you could have been the
perfect candidate to be like just an absolute just asshole,
(52:48):
you know what I'm saying. Like she's like the fact
that you were mentally strong enough to not I mean, yeah, sure,
I mean I would let it get to me, but
not that it get to me to where I ultimately
turned into a bad person. Were like really wanted to
hate on the world. Okay, okay when you're younger, like
I hate the world, I hate her. I mean, I'm
obviously gonna feel like that in that time or whatever,
(53:09):
but don't let it actually let you end up being
like that forever. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. And
and and you know, people are telling me, like you're
very lucky that you're have you you were such a
loving person and you didn't let that change you because I,
like I said, I could have gotten through some sus
abuse issues with alcohol, Like it could have been real
(53:29):
bad because I told you when I was going through that,
and like my dad's sickness and whatever. I could have
turned to like really bad hardcore drugs, like God, I didn't. Anyway,
what I'm getting is that, like and I'm repeating myself,
I can here we go. What I'm saying is that, well,
actually I'm repeating myself, but I'm also kind of giving
like I think a newer a lesson on top of that,
don't yes, I hear. I think it's a good way
(53:58):
of things and things off. And I think you'll like this.
Don't let your trauma break you. Let your trauma make
you learn from those mistakes and make you into a
(54:20):
better person because you realize that it's gonna get better.
Yeah you know what I mean. It might be hard now,
it's gonna suck whenever people gonna And this is why
not just God testing you whatever, blah blah blah, Like
life is gonna test you whichever way whatever you're going through.
(54:43):
But the beauty this is gonna sound crazy. And that
was actually I actually think mac Tyson says along along
the lines of life the beauty and is it in
it is getting the victory through the struggle or something
along those lines or someone says that. I think Tyson
I was watching him do like it and if you
were part of a bad answer, he says something along
those lines. But like it's so true, Like you can cry,
(55:03):
you can get angry, you can struggle, you can lock
everything whatever. But in the end, when you win, or
in the end whenever you are victorious, or in the
end whenever you do have the better outcome, that's where
that's where the victory lies. That's where it's like, you
know what, this sucked, But guess what, Look where I
am now, Like we were talking about the other night,
I'm not trying to throw them on the bus, but
(55:25):
everyone that bulled to me or whatever I dealt with again,
karme is a bitch for a reason. I'm I didn't
have to even lift a finger, and look where I
am at now with everything that I'm doing, and then
literally half them them have nothing going for them at
all whatsoever. That's because the world and everyone else around
them realized, hey, you guys are jerks, so we're not
gonna want to do anything, haveything to do with you.
(55:48):
Think about it, like, I haven't had that scenario a
long time ago, right, you know, back when I was
young and like angry at them, I was like I
can imagine them like rolling over to a job interview,
like with their mus blairing and they're you know, carb
ubbing and being ald douche Yeah. And then just like
I could see, like in my head, I just like
imagine the manager just like opening up his blinds with
(56:09):
his fingertips I mean like nope or whatever, and like
you know, and then like and then and then like
telling the secretary, Yeah, go ahead and call that kid
who's in the parking lot and tell him, tell him
that the posiness has been filled, you know what I'm saying. Like,
here's the thing. I'm not saying that's how it always
is or that's how it always works. But I mean
(56:29):
I feel like those people who can't grow up and
they're douchey, and that's probably why they don't dn't get
fire light because they just they can't. They can't let
go of that control, and it's just it's really sad. Yeah. Anyway, again,
this has been another real, very real podcast. I feel
like I feel like I've sorry if I did most
(56:50):
of the talking again this time, But you've been getting
really great at getting giving me responses and like talking
a lot more so I do appreciated that because especially
when you have forerent desightful things to say. But I
feel like I feel like in a way you wanted
to meet to talk a little bit more, and or
I had the feeling like that's how this was gonna go,
(57:12):
because you know, you're kind of one of my advice
and like the reason I'm it was giving you all
these stories and examples was just kind of maybe help
put things into this perspective of like, you know, you
might have it bad, but then think about my buddy
or what I've gone through with my other friends. Again,
you know, not to say not in the gate what
they've done, or not to say like, oh you have
a worse, they have a worse. I'm not trying to
(57:32):
put that like on you and put that on them,
like you know whatever. But what I'm saying is that,
like maybe I was just trying to tell you about
this the stories and like people who are who are
out there to help you or later make you maybe
make you feel a little bit a bit better in
a weird way of like, you know, I don't have
it like like his like like his buddy has it,
or like not as bad as I don't, I know,
(57:55):
what I'm saying. But I know to me, yeah, it
makes sense, that's what it doesn't make sense. Like what
I'm getting is that, like I'm not trying to like
one up or downgrade any ordered gate like or say well,
well they want it doesn't matter because they have it worse.
I'm getting is that like when you put things into perspective,
that's where you're again a way we talk about the
(58:16):
one podcast, we'll talk about religion a little bit. We
put things you perspective of, like what's good in your
life or whatever you can avoid. That's where the blessings love, Yeah,
and because that's where you need to cut the blessings
and whatever. You know what I'm saying, And that's yeah. Anyway,
who okay, we are literally three minutes away from it now.
That's pretty awesome. Anyway, So everybody, this is thank you

good channel, trying to be non controversial. But like I said,
you know, if we're being adults here, sometimes we do
need to talk about real things and you know, things
like that. And again, if you and if you do,
if anyone others just think I'm maybe throwing in one
of the bus or putting them I'm blessed, or talking
about badly about them, I'm not trying to do this
(59:43):
at all whatsoever. I'm just trying to get stories out there,
give examples out there to me to help you all,
you know, get a different perspective on things, or maybe
give you give you advice on like how to see
things of like oh well, you know, maybe since know
he said to do this since I'm kind of in
the same situation or similar situation next time this happens,
(01:00:05):
maybe if I listen to the advice that he says
or what Brandon has to say, you know, maybe you
can help me handle that situation better. That's the only
reason I do. I'm the only reason we're being so
why I'm doing this. I'm trying to be so open
with like what with what we're saying, you know, Like anyway, again,
