That's all going.
Speaker 1 (01:05):

different president yup UK in twenty third, twenty twenty four.
(01:34):
Oh today, shaw me be talking about how do you
celebrate your accomplishments? Moll Stones along with I don't really
like to get a politics when the dog said, dude,
that's about the politics and society that we live in,
Mark Cuban little dirty. Of course, we got the fun
(01:58):
facts policy day, gonna day of course, let you know
if you didn't know, but you know, gonna be here today.
It's almost that time. It's almost that time, yo, what up?
(02:26):
What up? Though? What up? Though? It's your boy again,
Ricky d They can reflect podcast show. Sorry, I wasn't
there for y'all tomorrow. I know my my regulars probably
was like, man, it's two o'clock. What an episode that?
But you know what, we gonna have an episode today.
(02:47):
It might not even be at two o'clock cause it's
almost two o'clock Eastern Standard time, so i'm'a get straight
to it. No, of course, we got the president to
election coming up in a couple of months, we got
Kambla has and we got Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm'a just leave that right there.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
But you know, Kambla had herd the the d you
know how she get nominated or whatever. Couple of people
spoke the Obamas. You know, some people were kind of
you know I I that's that's and and that's what's crazy, man,
The fact that the the the parties are based off
(03:34):
for more of a race thing.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That part I just don't get, man.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And of course, you know the black, the Blacks, I
don't even you would like to use the word black
because black, according to science, means death. That's just a
little known fact. If you check the blacks ecal law
(04:00):
I exist. I think it's the Black Law Dictionary. But anyhow, yeah, man,
we gonna, but we gonna. I'm'a say something else about
the politics real quick. And you know JFK he was
running independent, but he's considering, you know, dropping off because
he feel like he's taking some of the votes from
(04:22):
Donald Trump. But getting back to what I was about
to say about them, I just don't get that part.
Y'all better not decide if you gonna vote who you
gonna vote for based off of race and religion, cause
when they come to politics, that don't mean nothing. The
real life society that we got my biers Donna get
(04:44):
fully gray. I always cut myself off doing that though,
but hey, he's too old. I can't get nobody. No,
but if y'all know the pot of y'all know about.
But yeah, other than that, Mark Cuban, he he he
recently sold well it was last year around his time,
(05:07):
but I guess the deal is becoming final, he you know,
so just staking the dollars mavericks the majority anyway, I
think he's still own like a minority, a little small
part of it. But cause you know, Mark Cuban, see
(05:30):
some people, man, they had they enjoy like parts. You
know what I'm saying. They made their lives less difficult
based off of choices they made. And that's because they
wanted it, you know what I'm saying, Like you gotta
want it for it too. Comfort fruition like I was, like,
(05:57):
today's episode is based off more of you know, how
do you celebrate your personal accomplishments in milestones, Because sometimes
your celebration and and you honoring yourself for the accomplishment
can cause a little envy, a little jealousy amongst people.
(06:18):
You know, it's it's just you really just appreciating yourself.
But that's that's that's the latter in the in the show.
So I was gonna call the show envy, but i'm'
I don't want people to feel some type of way.
And while I'm getting into it, your boy, little dirt,
(06:41):
Little dirt, he denounce his gang life. He he say
he's strictly about his religion now, which is Muslim. You know,
So shout out the little dirt for trying to change
the narrative of a society has influenced, you know, the youth,
(07:09):
cause that's mainly I. I was a trouble youth. Like
I can, I can ref think and reflect. I can.
I can get it, man. Put it like that. Like
I was there. I was running the streets young while
I had a go though, I I really did. I
was gonna play the football thing, you know, working in
(07:32):
a little job. Cause I grew up in the inner
city Collinwood area. If you from the Cleveland, Ohio, if
you know Collinwood, I grew up over that way. You know,
got I don't you know? It's when it's all said
and done. It's it's it's a choice that we all make.
But that's another story. I'm'a get back. I'm'a get throw
(07:54):
that into the the the topic the segment to think
and reflects segment. But yeah, man, I'm proud of a
little dirt man, somebody that got a the voice is
what he called hisself. You know, he trying to put
a new image out there. You know, at least I
guess that's what. You know. They gonna make him self something.
(08:15):
So he's instead of the game life, he's selling the faith.
But yeah, uh, and then we gotta him be a
young boy. He played guilty to Chargers, the gun Chargers
in Louisiana, And like I said, JFK, he he about
the not JFK but Robert Kennedy. I don't know why
(08:38):
I keep calling the old boy Cha Kate Jr. Recipes
to both the giants. Yeah, so you know it's all
about It's all about the the progression, man, about cause
that's what we talking about, the dead accomplism. It's like
(09:01):
like I I tell my children, but before we get there,
I just wanna get straight to it. Maybe that's that's
the problem. I need to just get straight to the topic.
But yeah, what's today? Today is the twenty third, so
we gonna check out this holiday of the day real
quick for ya holiday other day. They got some other
(09:34):
stuff coming up. I ask for the holiday. Yeah, uh,
you know what. I got my files. That's why I
ain't do the shogge today. I was doing the live redecorating, reorganizing.
But I got my own holidays right here, so I
ain't gonna have to be always be.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Looking at me up.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I got some other little savment suggestions too, though, flashback
tips and tricks. I always got some tips and tricks.
I got that fun fact. But y'all, you know, go
on Instagram, Facebook, wherever you find Think and Reflect podcasts,
So leave a comment. Let me know what you would
like to hear episode. You know a topic you would
(10:19):
like to talk about. I thought I had don't laugh
at me, laugh with me. But yeah, today August twenty
third is.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Ride like the Wind bad. I usually go on by
one side.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I might stick to that because they give you more
than just the one holiday. But if you just had
to pick a day, ride like the Wind, however you feel,
I mean, just go with the flow. Basically, if that's
my that's my breakdown of it. Go with the flow,
Just go with the flow. But yeah, man, it's a
(11:10):
lot going on in the world. And just the other day,
Oh man, last night I seen this video on somebody
sent me man and it was man when the girls
rest in peace to the young lady. I don't know
what happened, but oh, boy was upset the way he
did what he did. Boy, So we gonna leave that
(11:31):
at that, and we gonna get her moment in silence.
Hopefully it wasn't nothing bad, man. Hopefully it wasn't, you know,
cause they say the sister she kind of when him,
she got killed and similar like a few weeks before.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
The young lady.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know, so y'all, y'all need to just get y'all
somebody and roll it out. Man. It ain't nobody perfect. Say,
you ain't gonna probably ever find a perfect mate. You know,
it's gonna be some type of flaw. But if y'all
could found some type of cohesiveness to where you know,
y'all can get through the problems even though you might
(12:16):
have the problems, you know that that'd be a good thing.
But don't forget to follow and like TNRP show on
social media. Download the Streaker app, say you could get
in altifications, cause I was thinking about going live and
if you got that Streaker app, you b I mighta
(12:36):
gave you a number to call Lee in so we
could chit chat together. But you know, I just wanted
to get this episode out the way because I you know,
I'm tryna be consistent. To be p persistent, you gotta
be consistent, or vice versa. To be consistent, you gotta
be persistent. It's all about t following off with that procrastination.
(12:58):
But I was really just making mine area feel a
little bit more comfortable, like because I done got comfortable.
I ain't getting all the visuals yet, but I got
some visuals loaded, and you know, I'm getting comfortable behind
the camera, So be looking out for me to start

But during that period.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
That was a.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Lot what's going on? But i'm'a bring i'm'a kind of
mention that hopefully I don't forget because you know, I
could win a.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Go off a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I p I took some notes as usual, you know,
they were just simple notes, but I got some notes for.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Y'all, you know, so I ain't just flowing.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
But before I get to this segment, I wanna get
y'all with this fun fact.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This this fun fact was kind of cool too. It was.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Swanson, you know, the the TV dinners and stuff. I
don't know if people still eat TV dinner.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I ain't ain't one in a while. It been some years,
two years, it.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Might' it might've been a long time, but yeah, Swanson
made the first TV dinner in nineteen fifty three. Due
to s I ain't even put the number cause they
were all, yeah, I still put the number down. It
was two hundred and sixty tons of turkey from Thanksgiving
they had left over. So what they did is they
(14:54):
package the turkey with mass potatoes and and s and
black and peas, green peas, and that was the first
TV dinner. They saw them cold, you know, TV dinner
warm it up, put it in the other uh uh whatever.
But yeah, so I'm looking at I'm looking at the
(15:16):
current event. No, let me see it. Robert Kennedy. It's
Robert Kennedy. So it's looking like Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Donald Trump about potent second Trump administration, like potentially something
covering he pulse.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You have somebody earlier recordings.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, I'm thinking Robert F.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Kennedy. He he might drop out and let them let
Trump get them votes.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I wonder what the people thinking about that. Yeah, one
second out, I think car for rhyme, rais and tops.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
You can expecting each other's inspiring and entertaining every episode.
Make sure you're what shurepeon and listen to what's on
speaker or like iHeart radio. Yeah, sports dog, you know
I ain't. I it ain't really been too much going on,
but the NFL season probably like a week away from starting,
(16:25):
you know, the baseball still going. They getting into the dirt,
the dog days of summer is what you call it.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
And then we got.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Basketball about to start up in a little while, so
it's our only popping. That's the time of the year
where it just be sports crazy. If you're a sports fan,
this is the time of the year to where you
learned if you was a sports fan or not.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
But yeah, it's time to get to that.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Better get my chair back yard.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You know what time it is.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It is that thing that reflects on today's segment you
gonna be talking about how do you celebrate your personal
accomplishments and moms, cols, think about it to yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But right now i'm'a just give y'all my perspective.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
How I feel.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
You know word, oh was like cock what?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
But yeah, support it's the thinking reflects agment with your
boy Riki.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
This is what your tone. They'll fucking hear.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
About the topic, hot topics, insightful with making sure you
really thinking black on here? Well I am anyway, I
got a small little brain storm the crew. But like
these A productions, your crew, you can I'm the producer
the whole stead of that, let's go, I ain't gotta
paint nobody in. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Let I'll put this this stuff the day.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Man, you got brain time, but you know, ain't no
about that perfect thing.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You gotta work on lot for y'all. That do we
know that that's different right there?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
You don't even get to see that what I'm talking
about from one angle, and I don't know if I'm
gonna give y'all that angle. What up? Though? Again, Man,
this is your boy. Ricky did this to think and
reflect segment, you know, out of the day the other
day we done, did we dine? Did that fun fact?
(19:36):
I of gave y'all a little current event, you know
the problems. I am is a my boy, a little
dirk man. He a fella liber man. He he celebrating
his accomplishments by letting people know he not.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
He denouncing his gang life.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You can't do both, man, You can't do so when
it come to celebrate the accomplishment. I wasn't in a
actual game when I was in a d when I
was young, though I did. I was, man, it was
just like what they would call the babies, the juveniles
of that group. And it ain't last long. It was
(20:18):
really like that's one thing about about teenagers life. Man.
You you kind of like if you ain't got the
right guidance, like for real, you could get lost. Man,
Like if you ain't got nobody to kind of like
hold you down or tell you yeah, you can go right,
(20:38):
but you left might be better for you not saying left.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Is a bad thing, but just the fact that excuse me,
just the fact that you have choices.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
But when you come from certain environments, you you beginning
to believe even if it's a good environment that's like safe,
for instance, somebody your parents want you to be a doctor,
but you wanna be a lawyer, you know, just for example.
But the thing is, it's still an accomplishment. That's that's
(21:11):
the p that's the pro to it. The cond to
it is when you celebrate that accomplishment, how do you
do it? And if you do it, do you do
it big? Do you make it notchious? Do you just
you know, cheering yourself with the end because you know,
like sometimes when you see social media kind of makes
(21:39):
it like you're boasting a little bit. And I get
that from people. I remember one time I was in
hanging out in the neighborhood bar and you know, like
cause I was trying to get more leniar lean into
the more professional world, I started you know, making sh
sure I was using my words correctly or sounding more
(22:01):
not as ignorant as you know, because I already got
a couple of strikes, Like literally I got strikes. You
know from the criminal system and all of that. But
you know, my one of my accomplishments right now, it
ain't made it to that day, but on the twenty fifth,
that'll be ten years from the day that I was
(22:24):
released from FCI Elton, which is in Youngestown, Ohio, due
to a a conspiracy charge I was on I and
I thought everybody you know, was gonna stick to the guns,
like I did, you know, YadA, YadA YadA. That's another story,
but it's just still the fact that you know, people
(22:47):
don't respect each other enough to you know, acknowledge your accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So you know, when you.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
A m when you you know, accompany, you know, celebrate
how you feel man, you know. But that's what I've
been trying to tell my children too over the years, Like,
you know, accomplishments, it's what we only should Like I don't.
You shouldn't tell a person what they should but yourself.
But I prefer to only celebrate accomplishments Like holidays. That's cool,
(23:29):
but when you start, when you when you get older,
you realize that holidays are nothing but a a a
sell for the the businesses in the world. Then you
you kind of be like you know what, I ain't
not about to celebrate this for what what's the accomplishment
of it not being accomplished? But another day, even when
(23:52):
you get to the birthday, you still wanna know you
did something within that years for you to even consider celebrating, Like, cause,
other than just living, what did you celebrate? We? We
only we them the two things that you live to die.
You know, I don't like to talk about death, but
we live to die. So you living to make it
(24:14):
to another birthday, congratulations, But it's really nothing about it
if you ain't did nothing while you living to when
you got get to that next birthday, you can look
back and be like, yeah, I did this, I did that,
Like you made.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
A difference in your life or somebody else's life.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
So you know the way I celebrate accomplishments, you know,
like like I said earlier, you know the social media
kind to make it look like you boasting, but you
know you might' you might say, for instance, you start something.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You might just start a new building. It's a new
idea and something and you put it.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Social media is there, like because me personally, social media
is like a business tool, so it's not like me
personally you know, throwing it in people's face to be
like look what I did or look what I'm doing.
It's more like, hey, check me out. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
This is what I'm over here doing. You know, you
could wanna be a part, you wanna you know, support
I got this going on. You know, you can be
a part of that.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
So it's not really them them like me celebrating accomplishments,
especially coming from like I say, I on the twenty fifth,
it'll be ten years that I'd have been released from
federal prison. So that's an accomplishment to me because prior
to that, you know, other than when I had my
my child, my oldest in two thousand seven, before that,
(25:40):
I had just was in and out, like I was
always in trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Not that I was looking for trouble, It's just that
I was.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Living a lifestyle that wasn't equipped for my mindset. You know,
I could have got something out of it, but like
they say, you could get caught up in the lifestyle
and it could be more addicted than the drug, like
the running the streets, to being out at night, hangling
the bars, you know, wearing nice clothes, messing with the
(26:08):
opposite sex or whatever, because you know it, and then
you would lose your mission. Because when I did jump
off the porch, after I lost what was supposed to
be my path, which I thought was the football and stuff,
and like I had a plan, you know, the plan
just didn't go as planned. And most of us, we
(26:29):
all got a plan. It's the goal that we really
trying to achieve. But in the process of trying to
achieve them accomplishments, you might have to change your plan,
you know what I'm saying. So and then through hardship,
you know what I'm saying, Like m like it, say,
how how do you celebrate your personal accomplishments? Like a
(26:53):
person might feel like, you know, I passed this school
year I got they last year they got they was
only a D. Next the next year, they might wanna
try to be at least a sea student, Like that's
an accomplishment, that's a milestone, or reaching a certain age.
Not like if you could reach a certain age and
you reached it, and you know you been putting in
(27:15):
some effort, like everybody, even though you put in the effort,
you might not achieve the go but you know you've
been putting in the effort, So the fact that you
can see yourself growing a little bit, them more accomplishments
in milestones.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
And me personally, I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I don't. I love to see people accomplished things rather
like but you it's some people be like, ah, man,
you know what I'm saying. Like it It creates envy,
It creates jealousy, a little hate, you know what I'm saying.
But all I really do is just let you know
to how the person really felt about you prior to
(27:52):
your accomplishment. That's why they they try to tell you
nowadays when you like trying to achieve things, to not
let people know until it's actually done. But then even
then it still will it can cause a problem. But
as long as you know you out to achieve, you
out to be better, like that's my goal. You do
your best and then if you doing your best, you
(28:14):
ain't got no choice but to get better, you know
what I'm saying. And your best might not be better
than somebody else's, But as long as you know it's personal, remember,
so don't compare it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
To nobody else that's out there.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
You know, Like Okay, say, for instance, you gotta closing line,
somebody else got a clothing line. Yours probably not moving
as much as the other person, but the fact that
you even started it is an accomplishment. Y. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
So just be excited for yourself, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And that's that's probably even if it ain't a party,
if it ain't going on social media and people know
or whatever, if it's just a inside your head cheer,
you know, hey, y, that's a that's a as long
as you know your goal is to accomplish and achieve
and set milestones and you got like a real bottom
(29:13):
line for your goal in goal. Cause some people just
be out here living like they That's why you got
people that are killed. You know what I'm saying. They
they ain't setting no goals, They not trying to achieve nothing.
And if they feel like harming somebody is an accomplishment.
If they need to hurry up and find them and
get them off the d put them somewhere in s
(29:35):
solitary confinement. You know, Like my trouble pass was always
me just trying to get a dollar. I wasn't tryna
hurt nobody. I actually thought what I was doing, even
though it was considered illegal. I thought I was doing
it with integrity, you know what I'm saying, Like I'm
making sure I get the people what they want, you
know what I'm saying, for what they need. But you know,
(29:57):
I thought it was just a fair exchange comm versus
what I always say it was commerce. You know nowadays
expe in Ohio. It been going on in some other
states like Ohio now you twenty one and other you
could go buy you some weed out the stomach. You know,
it's just like you going to buy expensive cigarette basically now,
you know what I'm saying, because they call it recreational
(30:20):
you know, or medico. But the fact of the matter
is the way I'm looking at it is for them
to approve that with so many people that got to
their freedom taken away because of it, it's still tricky,
you know what I'm saying. So, but the fact that
it's legal now and you could walk in the store.
I just seen a a thing too about they about
(30:45):
to create a drive through. But you know that that's
like an accomplishment for the state, and it's people that
you know, BUYU said the level the laws, and so
it's probably people that because of that they are they
about to start being released coming home? You know what
I'm saying, And so you can s you can s
(31:07):
consider that accomplishment because for real, for real, some of
them laws got pushed because it's people behind them bars,
you know, putting it f f filing affidavis.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
And you know what I'm saying, the pills and the
you know.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
They filing, they filing, cause I have been in there.
It's people that I see them every day, They filing
and filing like people. Cause me on my situation when
I got caught up, I was trying to I stayed
in the law lot there even though you know you
got that lawyer. But you wanna know cause your lawyer,
for real, for real, man, they all buddies. Man, they
(31:41):
all grew up in the bars socis. You might have
the greatest lawyer, you might be paying it the best money,
but depending on who that judge is like him and
the judge might not get along saying you might have
been to spend your money up for no reason and
the judge already waiting to sentence you to whatever the
max is, even if it's the men. But when you
go steady, you know what I'm saying, You get to
(32:05):
you can you can reciprocate the information like oh no,
look this, say this and this ain't that them a
to me.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
That was an.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Accomplishment too, that I s made sure I did not
get told anything I like I said, it's about sooner
be ten years later, which is a decade. That's an
accomplishment that I have not been arrested or you know,
I'm talking 'em. I always felt like I was a
(32:35):
like a good person, man, you know. I just sometimes
your environment can.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Take you out.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Man. The people you associate with, like even when you
be trying to kind of give them a different idea
of like life, you know what I'm saying, and then
you kind of get you know, you kind of get
overwhelm like and it it ain't even about being lonely though,
it's kind of like, but when you really trying to
(33:03):
change and your environment is what it is, you you
gotta accept the the being the loans.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's an accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
The fact that you can separate yourself from the environment
that you're familiar with to better yourself, that's an accomplishment.
Like you know them them personal accomplishments. It's just when
you do certain things, man, cause everybody don't wanna see
you win, you know, like that's a that's a horrible thing,
and like phantom, but the fact that every people don't
(33:35):
wanna see people like with the milestones's accomplishments achieved, like
I just don't get it, man, I like and then
like cause I don't witnessed some like pure hate like myself,
like you know what I'm saying, oh, man, like or
they'll compare you to something like instead of just congratulating
(33:57):
on you even trying to.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Make that move to do what you doing to get ahead.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Like cause most likely when you tryna accomplish something, it's
to make your life better. I hope you ain't tryna
just accomplish something just to say you did it. You
know that, So that make a big difference too. So
if you heard that part, man, don't just try to
have a personal accomplishment just to say you did something. Now,
if what you just trying to do, like if it's
(34:28):
not harming no one else, that's great, you know what
I'm saying. You might just wanna i'm'a go bungee jump
or i'm'a go dive off a mountain into the water
or something you know what I'm saying. Nah them cool,
i'm'a I can dig that. But if it's just saying
saying you did something just to say you did it,
like yeah, man, I slept with so many girls, Like
(34:50):
there's what's the benefit of that, man? The higher rate
of catching something, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
But like if it's some things.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
That you know, you just c you could tell your
children or your grandchildren like yeah, I did this before,
you know, know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Like letting it be kind of.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
What I would say family oriented, because at one point
I used to be I was so kind of like
entrenched in my old lifestyle with my thinking, like my
reactions used to be like childish or im like ignorant
basically like but over time, you know, you start realizing,
you know, you look at you take a look at yourself,
(35:37):
and you know, and people envy that people every change,
like they when some people so used to you living
or be in a certain way and then you just
they can't find nothing to really be like, ah, I
told you so, you know what I'm saying, But it's
not it's like you you not tryna tell 'em so,
but it's like, hey, I've realized, you know what I'm saying,
(36:00):
that that wasn't working for me.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
So i'm'a try this and I think this better.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
This is who I was anyway, because before I was
in the streets, I was like a little you know,
smart kid for real life.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
The books were so easy.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
I just it was the sports is what kept me
going to school. And then soon as the sports kind
of died out, I'm like, man, you know what I'm saying.
But as I got older, I realized the education is
something that keeps you out of trouble. It betters your life,
(36:37):
you know what I'm saying, And who's you might even
meet somebody that might be a part of your life
forever based off of the fact, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So it's so many ways, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
But when they come to celebrate it though, you know,
you can have a party, just it's just celebrating that
can cause envy and jealousies. So you know, when when
it make sure the accomplishment is like really worth celebrating
or how you celebrating so that you don't you know,
(37:10):
some people don't care, but it's good to care because
car makes you think you know what I'm saying before
you do, like getting back to how I said how
I react, I'm not as much as a reactor as
I once was. Like going through behavior modification programs helped
me a lot too, you know. So yeah, man, you
(37:33):
know we thinking and reflecting this the podcast show What
your Boy Ricky Did? We talking about how do you
celebrate personal accomplishments and milestones. You know, so when you
get an opportunity, man, make sure you say this episode

you do something so when at birthday come around.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
That's my biggest thing is birthdays.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
You know what I'm saying, But any accomplishment is worth
celebrating as long as it's a positive com accomplishment. You
know you're helping you maybe someone else like you might
like giving oh money to the people on the corner.
You know what I'm saying. You do it every day,
say I'm gonna do it for a whole. That's as
long as it's something positive. That's all we's striving for.
(39:14):
Because the world got enough negativity. Don't be part of
the negative. Be part of the positive, because a peaceful
world is what we all look for. Ope.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
But with that the boy out Wicky D shout out
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Thinking, thinking, ticking, ticking, taking from taking,
Welcome to the thing about the podcast shows. What show

Speaker 2 (01:04):
That's all going.
Speaker 1 (01:05):

different president yup UK in twenty third, twenty twenty four.
(01:34):
Oh today, shaw me be talking about how do you
celebrate your accomplishments? Moll Stones along with I don't really
like to get a politics when the dog said, dude,
that's about the politics and society that we live in,
Mark Cuban little dirty. Of course, we got the fun
(01:58):
facts policy day, gonna day of course, let you know
if you didn't know, but you know, gonna be here today.
It's almost that time. It's almost that time, yo, what up?
(02:26):
What up? Though? What up? Though? It's your boy again,
Ricky d They can reflect podcast show. Sorry, I wasn't
there for y'all tomorrow. I know my my regulars probably
was like, man, it's two o'clock. What an episode that?
But you know what, we gonna have an episode today.
(02:47):
It might not even be at two o'clock cause it's
almost two o'clock Eastern Standard time, so i'm'a get straight
to it. No, of course, we got the president to
election coming up in a couple of months, we got
Kambla has and we got Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm'a just leave that right there.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
But you know, Kambla had herd the the d you
know how she get nominated or whatever. Couple of people
spoke the Obamas. You know, some people were kind of
you know I I that's that's and and that's what's crazy, man,
The fact that the the the parties are based off
(03:34):
for more of a race thing.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That part I just don't get, man.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And of course, you know the black, the Blacks, I
don't even you would like to use the word black
because black, according to science, means death. That's just a
little known fact. If you check the blacks ecal law
(04:00):
I exist. I think it's the Black Law Dictionary. But anyhow, yeah, man,
we gonna, but we gonna. I'm'a say something else about
the politics real quick. And you know JFK he was
running independent, but he's considering, you know, dropping off because
he feel like he's taking some of the votes from
(04:22):
Donald Trump. But getting back to what I was about
to say about them, I just don't get that part.
Y'all better not decide if you gonna vote who you
gonna vote for based off of race and religion, cause
when they come to politics, that don't mean nothing. The
real life society that we got my biers Donna get
(04:44):
fully gray. I always cut myself off doing that though,
but hey, he's too old. I can't get nobody. No,
but if y'all know the pot of y'all know about.
But yeah, other than that, Mark Cuban, he he he
recently sold well it was last year around his time,
(05:07):
but I guess the deal is becoming final, he you know,
so just staking the dollars mavericks the majority anyway, I
think he's still own like a minority, a little small
part of it. But cause you know, Mark Cuban, see
(05:30):
some people, man, they had they enjoy like parts. You
know what I'm saying. They made their lives less difficult
based off of choices they made. And that's because they
wanted it, you know what I'm saying, Like you gotta
want it for it too. Comfort fruition like I was, like,
(05:57):
today's episode is based off more of you know, how
do you celebrate your personal accomplishments in milestones, Because sometimes
your celebration and and you honoring yourself for the accomplishment
can cause a little envy, a little jealousy amongst people.
(06:18):
You know, it's it's just you really just appreciating yourself.
But that's that's that's the latter in the in the show.
So I was gonna call the show envy, but i'm'
I don't want people to feel some type of way.
And while I'm getting into it, your boy, little dirt,
(06:41):
Little dirt, he denounce his gang life. He he say
he's strictly about his religion now, which is Muslim. You know,
So shout out the little dirt for trying to change
the narrative of a society has influenced, you know, the youth,
(07:09):
cause that's mainly I. I was a trouble youth. Like
I can, I can ref think and reflect. I can.
I can get it, man. Put it like that. Like
I was there. I was running the streets young while
I had a go though, I I really did. I
was gonna play the football thing, you know, working in
(07:32):
a little job. Cause I grew up in the inner
city Collinwood area. If you from the Cleveland, Ohio, if
you know Collinwood, I grew up over that way. You know,
got I don't you know? It's when it's all said
and done. It's it's it's a choice that we all make.
But that's another story. I'm'a get back. I'm'a get throw
(07:54):
that into the the the topic the segment to think
and reflects segment. But yeah, man, I'm proud of a
little dirt man, somebody that got a the voice is
what he called hisself. You know, he trying to put
a new image out there. You know, at least I
guess that's what. You know. They gonna make him self something.
(08:15):
So he's instead of the game life, he's selling the faith.
But yeah, uh, and then we gotta him be a
young boy. He played guilty to Chargers, the gun Chargers
in Louisiana, And like I said, JFK, he he about
the not JFK but Robert Kennedy. I don't know why
(08:38):
I keep calling the old boy Cha Kate Jr. Recipes
to both the giants. Yeah, so you know it's all
about It's all about the the progression, man, about cause
that's what we talking about, the dead accomplism. It's like
(09:01):
like I I tell my children, but before we get there,
I just wanna get straight to it. Maybe that's that's
the problem. I need to just get straight to the topic.
But yeah, what's today? Today is the twenty third, so
we gonna check out this holiday of the day real
quick for ya holiday other day. They got some other
(09:34):
stuff coming up. I ask for the holiday. Yeah, uh,
you know what. I got my files. That's why I
ain't do the shogge today. I was doing the live redecorating, reorganizing.
But I got my own holidays right here, so I
ain't gonna have to be always be.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Looking at me up.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I got some other little savment suggestions too, though, flashback
tips and tricks. I always got some tips and tricks.
I got that fun fact. But y'all, you know, go
on Instagram, Facebook, wherever you find Think and Reflect podcasts,
So leave a comment. Let me know what you would
like to hear episode. You know a topic you would
(10:19):
like to talk about. I thought I had don't laugh
at me, laugh with me. But yeah, today August twenty
third is.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Ride like the Wind bad. I usually go on by
one side.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I might stick to that because they give you more
than just the one holiday. But if you just had
to pick a day, ride like the Wind, however you feel,
I mean, just go with the flow. Basically, if that's
my that's my breakdown of it. Go with the flow,
Just go with the flow. But yeah, man, it's a
(11:10):
lot going on in the world. And just the other day,
Oh man, last night I seen this video on somebody
sent me man and it was man when the girls
rest in peace to the young lady. I don't know
what happened, but oh, boy was upset the way he
did what he did. Boy, So we gonna leave that
(11:31):
at that, and we gonna get her moment in silence.
Hopefully it wasn't nothing bad, man. Hopefully it wasn't, you know,
cause they say the sister she kind of when him,
she got killed and similar like a few weeks before.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
The young lady.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know, so y'all, y'all need to just get y'all
somebody and roll it out. Man. It ain't nobody perfect. Say,
you ain't gonna probably ever find a perfect mate. You know,
it's gonna be some type of flaw. But if y'all
could found some type of cohesiveness to where you know,
y'all can get through the problems even though you might
(12:16):
have the problems, you know that that'd be a good thing.
But don't forget to follow and like TNRP show on
social media. Download the Streaker app, say you could get
in altifications, cause I was thinking about going live and
if you got that Streaker app, you b I mighta
(12:36):
gave you a number to call Lee in so we
could chit chat together. But you know, I just wanted
to get this episode out the way because I you know,
I'm tryna be consistent. To be p persistent, you gotta
be consistent, or vice versa. To be consistent, you gotta
be persistent. It's all about t following off with that procrastination.
(12:58):
But I was really just making mine area feel a
little bit more comfortable, like because I done got comfortable.
I ain't getting all the visuals yet, but I got

But during that period.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
That was a.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Lot what's going on? But i'm'a bring i'm'a kind of
mention that hopefully I don't forget because you know, I
could win a.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Go off a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I p I took some notes as usual, you know,
they were just simple notes, but I got some notes for.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Y'all, you know, so I ain't just flowing.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
But before I get to this segment, I wanna get
y'all with this fun fact.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This this fun fact was kind of cool too. It was.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Swanson, you know, the the TV dinners and stuff. I
don't know if people still eat TV dinner.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I ain't ain't one in a while. It been some years,
two years, it.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Might' it might've been a long time, but yeah, Swanson
made the first TV dinner in nineteen fifty three. Due
to s I ain't even put the number cause they
were all, yeah, I still put the number down. It
was two hundred and sixty tons of turkey from Thanksgiving
they had left over. So what they did is they
(14:54):
package the turkey with mass potatoes and and s and
black and peas, green peas, and that was the first
TV dinner. They saw them cold, you know, TV dinner
warm it up, put it in the other uh uh whatever.
But yeah, so I'm looking at I'm looking at the
(15:16):
current event. No, let me see it. Robert Kennedy. It's
Robert Kennedy. So it's looking like Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Donald Trump about potent second Trump administration, like potentially something
covering he pulse.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You have somebody earlier recordings.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, I'm thinking Robert F.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Kennedy. He he might drop out and let them let
Trump get them votes.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I wonder what the people thinking about that. Yeah, one
second out, I think car for rhyme, rais and tops.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
You can expecting each other's inspiring and entertaining every episode.
Make sure you're what shurepeon and listen to what's on
speaker or like iHeart radio. Yeah, sports dog, you know
I ain't. I it ain't really been too much going on,
but the NFL season probably like a week away from starting,
(16:25):
you know, the baseball still going. They getting into the dirt,
the dog days of summer is what you call it.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
And then we got.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Basketball about to start up in a little while, so
it's our only popping. That's the time of the year
where it just be sports crazy. If you're a sports fan,
this is the time of the year to where you
learned if you was a sports fan or not.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
But yeah, it's time to get to that.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Better get my chair back yard.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You know what time it is.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It is that thing that reflects on today's segment you
gonna be talking about how do you celebrate your personal
accomplishments and moms, cols, think about it to yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
But right now i'm'a just give y'all my perspective.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
How I feel.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
You know word, oh was like cock what?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
But yeah, support it's the thinking reflects agment with your
boy Riki.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
This is what your tone. They'll fucking hear.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
About the topic, hot topics, insightful with making sure you
really thinking black on here? Well I am anyway, I
got a small little brain storm the crew. But like
these A productions, your crew, you can I'm the producer
the whole stead of that, let's go, I ain't gotta
paint nobody in. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Let I'll put this this stuff the day.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Man, you got brain time, but you know, ain't no
about that perfect thing.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You gotta work on lot for y'all. That do we
know that that's different right there?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
You don't even get to see that what I'm talking
about from one angle, and I don't know if I'm
gonna give y'all that angle. What up? Though? Again, Man,
this is your boy. Ricky did this to think and
reflect segment, you know, out of the day the other
day we done, did we dine? Did that fun fact?
(19:36):
I of gave y'all a little current event, you know
the problems. I am is a my boy, a little
dirk man. He a fella liber man. He he celebrating
his accomplishments by letting people know he not.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
He denouncing his gang life.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You can't do both, man, You can't do so when
it come to celebrate the accomplishment. I wasn't in a
actual game when I was in a d when I
was young, though I did. I was, man, it was
just like what they would call the babies, the juveniles
of that group. And it ain't last long. It was
(20:18):
really like that's one thing about about teenagers life. Man.
You you kind of like if you ain't got the
right guidance, like for real, you could get lost. Man,
Like if you ain't got nobody to kind of like
hold you down or tell you yeah, you can go right,
(20:38):
but you left might be better for you not saying left.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Is a bad thing, but just the fact that excuse me,
just the fact that you have choices.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
But when you come from certain environments, you you beginning
to believe even if it's a good environment that's like safe,
for instance, somebody your parents want you to be a doctor,
but you wanna be a lawyer, you know, just for example.
But the thing is, it's still an accomplishment. That's that's
(21:11):
the p that's the pro to it. The cond to
it is when you celebrate that accomplishment, how do you
do it? And if you do it, do you do
it big? Do you make it notchious? Do you just
you know, cheering yourself with the end because you know,
like sometimes when you see social media kind of makes
(21:39):
it like you're boasting a little bit. And I get
that from people. I remember one time I was in
hanging out in the neighborhood bar and you know, like
cause I was trying to get more leniar lean into
the more professional world, I started you know, making sh
sure I was using my words correctly or sounding more
(22:01):
not as ignorant as you know, because I already got
a couple of strikes, Like literally I got strikes. You
know from the criminal system and all of that. But
you know, my one of my accomplishments right now, it
ain't made it to that day, but on the twenty fifth,
that'll be ten years from the day that I was
(22:24):
released from FCI Elton, which is in Youngestown, Ohio, due
to a a conspiracy charge I was on I and
I thought everybody you know, was gonna stick to the guns,
like I did, you know, YadA, YadA YadA. That's another story,
but it's just still the fact that you know, people
(22:47):
don't respect each other enough to you know, acknowledge your accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So you know, when you.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
A m when you you know, accompany, you know, celebrate
how you feel man, you know. But that's what I've
been trying to tell my children too over the years, Like,
you know, accomplishments, it's what we only should Like I don't.
You shouldn't tell a person what they should but yourself.
But I prefer to only celebrate accomplishments Like holidays. That's cool,
(23:29):
but when you start, when you when you get older,
you realize that holidays are nothing but a a a
sell for the the businesses in the world. Then you
you kind of be like you know what, I ain't
not about to celebrate this for what what's the accomplishment
of it not being accomplished? But another day, even when
(23:52):
you get to the birthday, you still wanna know you
did something within that years for you to even consider celebrating, Like, cause,
other than just living, what did you celebrate? We? We
only we them the two things that you live to die.
You know, I don't like to talk about death, but
we live to die. So you living to make it
(24:14):
to another birthday, congratulations, But it's really nothing about it
if you ain't did nothing while you living to when
you got get to that next birthday, you can look
back and be like, yeah, I did this, I did that,
Like you made.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
A difference in your life or somebody else's life.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
So you know the way I celebrate accomplishments, you know,
like like I said earlier, you know the social media
kind to make it look like you boasting, but you
know you might' you might say, for instance, you start something.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You might just start a new building. It's a new
idea and something and you put it.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Social media is there, like because me personally, social media
is like a business tool, so it's not like me
personally you know, throwing it in people's face to be
like look what I did or look what I'm doing.
It's more like, hey, check me out. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
This is what I'm over here doing. You know, you
could wanna be a part, you wanna you know, support
I got this going on. You know, you can be
a part of that.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
So it's not really them them like me celebrating accomplishments,
especially coming from like I say, I on the twenty fifth,
it'll be ten years that I'd have been released from
federal prison. So that's an accomplishment to me because prior
to that, you know, other than when I had my
my child, my oldest in two thousand seven, before that,
(25:40):
I had just was in and out, like I was
always in trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Not that I was looking for trouble, It's just that
I was.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Living a lifestyle that wasn't equipped for my mindset. You know,
I could have got something out of it, but like
they say, you could get caught up in the lifestyle
and it could be more addicted than the drug, like
the running the streets, to being out at night, hangling
the bars, you know, wearing nice clothes, messing with the
(26:08):
opposite sex or whatever, because you know it, and then
you would lose your mission. Because when I did jump
off the porch, after I lost what was supposed to
be my path, which I thought was the football and stuff,
and like I had a plan, you know, the plan
just didn't go as planned. And most of us, we
(26:29):
all got a plan. It's the goal that we really
trying to achieve. But in the process of trying to
achieve them accomplishments, you might have to change your plan,
you know what I'm saying. So and then through hardship,
you know what I'm saying, Like m like it, say,
how how do you celebrate your personal accomplishments? Like a
(26:53):
person might feel like, you know, I passed this school
year I got they last year they got they was
only a D. Next the next year, they might wanna
try to be at least a sea student, Like that's
an accomplishment, that's a milestone, or reaching a certain age.
Not like if you could reach a certain age and
you reached it, and you know you been putting in
(27:15):
some effort, like everybody, even though you put in the effort,
you might not achieve the go but you know you've
been putting in the effort, So the fact that you
can see yourself growing a little bit, them more accomplishments
in milestones.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
And me personally, I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I don't. I love to see people accomplished things rather
like but you it's some people be like, ah, man,
you know what I'm saying. Like it It creates envy,
It creates jealousy, a little hate, you know what I'm saying.
But all I really do is just let you know
to how the person really felt about you prior to
(27:52):
your accomplishment. That's why they they try to tell you
nowadays when you like trying to achieve things, to not
let people know until it's actually done. But then even
then it still will it can cause a problem. But
as long as you know you out to achieve, you
out to be better, like that's my goal. You do
your best and then if you doing your best, you
(28:14):
ain't got no choice but to get better, you know
what I'm saying. And your best might not be better
than somebody else's, But as long as you know it's personal, remember,
so don't compare it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
To nobody else that's out there.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
You know, Like Okay, say, for instance, you gotta closing line,
somebody else got a clothing line. Yours probably not moving
as much as the other person, but the fact that
you even started it is an accomplishment. Y. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
So just be excited for yourself, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And that's that's probably even if it ain't a party,
if it ain't going on social media and people know
or whatever, if it's just a inside your head cheer,
you know, hey, y, that's a that's a as long
as you know your goal is to accomplish and achieve
and set milestones and you got like a real bottom
(29:13):
line for your goal in goal. Cause some people just
be out here living like they That's why you got
people that are killed. You know what I'm saying. They
they ain't setting no goals, They not trying to achieve nothing.
And if they feel like harming somebody is an accomplishment.
If they need to hurry up and find them and
get them off the d put them somewhere in s
(29:35):
solitary confinement. You know, Like my trouble pass was always
me just trying to get a dollar. I wasn't tryna
hurt nobody. I actually thought what I was doing, even
though it was considered illegal. I thought I was doing
it with integrity, you know what I'm saying, Like I'm
making sure I get the people what they want, you
know what I'm saying, for what they need. But you know,
(29:57):
I thought it was just a fair exchange comm versus
what I always say it was commerce. You know nowadays
expe in Ohio. It been going on in some other
states like Ohio now you twenty one and other you
could go buy you some weed out the stomach. You know,
it's just like you going to buy expensive cigarette basically now,
you know what I'm saying, because they call it recreational
(30:20):
you know, or medico. But the fact of the matter
is the way I'm looking at it is for them
to approve that with so many people that got to
their freedom taken away because of it, it's still tricky,
you know what I'm saying. So, but the fact that
it's legal now and you could walk in the store.
I just seen a a thing too about they about
(30:45):
to create a drive through. But you know that that's
like an accomplishment for the state, and it's people that
you know, BUYU said the level the laws, and so
it's probably people that because of that they are they
about to start being released coming home? You know what
I'm saying, And so you can s you can s
(31:07):
consider that accomplishment because for real, for real, some of
them laws got pushed because it's people behind them bars,
you know, putting it f f filing affidavis.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
And you know what I'm saying, the pills and the
you know.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
They filing, they filing, cause I have been in there.
It's people that I see them every day, They filing
and filing like people. Cause me on my situation when
I got caught up, I was trying to I stayed
in the law lot there even though you know you
got that lawyer. But you wanna know cause your lawyer,
for real, for real, man, they all buddies. Man, they
(31:41):
all grew up in the bars socis. You might have
the greatest lawyer, you might be paying it the best money,
but depending on who that judge is like him and
the judge might not get along saying you might have
been to spend your money up for no reason and
the judge already waiting to sentence you to whatever the
max is, even if it's the men. But when you
go steady, you know what I'm saying, You get to
(32:05):
you can you can reciprocate the information like oh no,
look this, say this and this ain't that them a
to me.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
That was an.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Accomplishment too, that I s made sure I did not
get told anything I like I said, it's about sooner
be ten years later, which is a decade. That's an
accomplishment that I have not been arrested or you know,
I'm talking 'em. I always felt like I was a
(32:35):
like a good person, man, you know. I just sometimes
your environment can.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Take you out.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Man. The people you associate with, like even when you
be trying to kind of give them a different idea
of like life, you know what I'm saying, and then
you kind of get you know, you kind of get
overwhelm like and it it ain't even about being lonely though,
it's kind of like, but when you really trying to
(33:03):
change and your environment is what it is, you you
gotta accept the the being the loans.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's an accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
The fact that you can separate yourself from the environment
that you're familiar with to better yourself, that's an accomplishment.
Like you know them them personal accomplishments. It's just when
you do certain things, man, cause everybody don't wanna see
you win, you know, like that's a that's a horrible thing,
and like phantom, but the fact that every people don't
(33:35):
wanna see people like with the milestones's accomplishments achieved, like
I just don't get it, man, I like and then
like cause I don't witnessed some like pure hate like myself,
like you know what I'm saying, oh, man, like or
they'll compare you to something like instead of just congratulating
(33:57):
on you even trying to.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Make that move to do what you doing to get ahead.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Like cause most likely when you tryna accomplish something, it's
to make your life better. I hope you ain't tryna
just accomplish something just to say you did it. You
know that, So that make a big difference too. So
if you heard that part, man, don't just try to
have a personal accomplishment just to say you did something. Now,
if what you just trying to do, like if it's
(34:28):
not harming no one else, that's great, you know what
I'm saying. You might just wanna i'm'a go bungee jump
or i'm'a go dive off a mountain into the water
or something you know what I'm saying. Nah them cool,
i'm'a I can dig that. But if it's just saying
saying you did something just to say you did it,
like yeah, man, I slept with so many girls, Like
(34:50):
there's what's the benefit of that, man? The higher rate
of catching something, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
But like if it's some things.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
That you know, you just c you could tell your
children or your grandchildren like yeah, I did this before,
you know, know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Like letting it be kind of.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
What I would say family oriented, because at one point
I used to be I was so kind of like
entrenched in my old lifestyle with my thinking, like my
reactions used to be like childish or im like ignorant
basically like but over time, you know, you start realizing,
you know, you look at you take a look at yourself,
(35:37):
and you know, and people envy that people every change,
like they when some people so used to you living
or be in a certain way and then you just
they can't find nothing to really be like, ah, I
told you so, you know what I'm saying, But it's
not it's like you you not tryna tell 'em so,
but it's like, hey, I've realized, you know what I'm saying,
(36:00):
that that wasn't working for me.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
So i'm'a try this and I think this better.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
This is who I was anyway, because before I was
in the streets, I was like a little you know,
smart kid for real life.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
The books were so easy.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
I just it was the sports is what kept me
going to school. And then soon as the sports kind
of died out, I'm like, man, you know what I'm saying.
But as I got older, I realized the education is
something that keeps you out of trouble. It betters your life,
(36:37):
you know what I'm saying, And who's you might even
meet somebody that might be a part of your life
forever based off of the fact, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So it's so many ways, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
But when they come to celebrate it though, you know,
you can have a party, just it's just celebrating that
can cause envy and jealousies. So you know, when when
it make sure the accomplishment is like really worth celebrating
or how you celebrating so that you don't you know,
(37:10):
some people don't care, but it's good to care because
car makes you think you know what I'm saying before
you do, like getting back to how I said how
I react, I'm not as much as a reactor as
I once was. Like going through behavior modification programs helped
me a lot too, you know. So yeah, man, you
(37:33):
know we thinking and reflecting this the podcast show What
your Boy Ricky Did? We talking about how do you
celebrate personal accomplishments and milestones. You know, so when you
get an opportunity, man, make sure you say this episode

Speaker 2 (38:50):
That's my biggest thing is birthdays.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
You know what I'm saying, But any accomplishment is worth
celebrating as long as it's a positive com accomplishment. You
know you're helping you maybe someone else like you might
like giving oh money to the people on the corner.
You know what I'm saying. You do it every day,
say I'm gonna do it for a whole. That's as
long as it's something positive. That's all we's striving for.
(39:14):
Because the world got enough negativity. Don't be part of
the negative. Be part of the positive, because a peaceful
world is what we all look for. Ope.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
But with that the boy out Wicky D shout out
