50 and a possible.

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Go out to la. La. Coming from the city with no pity. Somebody needs to do a song for la. [00:00:06] Speaker B: Straight up. [00:00:13] Speaker A: Hello, my name is Elaine and I'll be your tour guide through South Central Los Angeles. Look, count my nose. Smoke up. I'm from California. Where you from? So what? I'm from California. California. Cal. California. This is Los Angeles. Well, where we going? West. Word. Hell. Y'all ever just sit around and wonder in God's earth when it's quiet, deep in thought and think? I wonder how two sumo wrestlers have sex. How do they do it? Two big old bellies like that, just rubber tubbing and dubbing. Hell of a question. Hell of a question. And I must say, shout out to. I want to give a shout out to Brit. She just did her 50th episode. That says a lot. That says a lot. Her rookie game, her rookie season is phenomenal. It's others that I thought would be able to do that, but they just didn't. And she did. And she did it in a fast. So she might be the quickest rookie to reach milestones quicker than the other ones. Because the other ones just some of them just really didn't start yet. Some of them just fell off. Some of them just, you know, great. Phenomenal to. To get 50 in your first 50 W's in your. In your first season. That's crazy. That's crazy. So y'all go over, y'all go check her latest episode out, I think. What is the episode called? If I'm not mistaken? It's called 50 facts and faith. Now, I would have played a clip, but she got music playing in the background. And I'm on YouTubes now, so, you know, I don't want y'all to be looking at a youth. Well, I don't have any visuals, but if I did, then it would be silent because of the music in the background. But she had. She went through a list of things that basically make up her. You know what I mean? And I asked her to send me that list cause I thought it was interesting, especially when it got to like the second half of that list. And I'm gonna go through her. I'mma go through her answers or her replies kinda because the list has some of her reply. But these are. I. I label mine 50 in the possible because she did have 51 down here, but the 51 didn't have nothing. So by the end of this, I might add something, but we'll see. We going to go through this and then whatever I need to switch over or change Y'all know, like, the first one is appreciated. Appreciating motherhood and what I love about it. So apparently, when you look at me, I don't look like a she. All right, so we're going to switch that to fatherhood. Fatherhood is fun. Fatherhood is stress. Stressful. It's a roller coaster, but you appreciate it. And when you are the one of the providers of your family, the rock, the solidness, the half of the foundation, and you at a certain age, it's like you want to do more for your kid. You want. This is a. You know, if you are in your 40s, this is the. You are in position of helping build the foundation of your kids now because they're either in middle school, high school, or out of school. And it's really adulting time. You know what I'm saying? Like, where we at? We're in adulting time, but this is also our travel time. Like in their late 30s, early 40s and beyond. Is they trying to travel the world? Because now we, like, at halftime. It's a halftime on the third quarter for some of us, you know, so now it's time to get with us. It's time to build up and beef up those memories and stuff like that. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all these other holidays that might require some heavy cooking. That's on us now. You know what I mean? But I appreciate fatherhood. It's a journey. It's something that I don't take lightly. It's difficult, but it's fun. It could be easy at some time. And it's just. It is what it is. I mean, it's one of those things where thinking you clock into work every day. Let's see what the next one. Loving the healing and growth I found in myself, that's major because I started to tap in. Me and her had a conversation. Me and Britt had a conversation about zodiac signs and how your sign brings out your true traits and characters and stuff like that. And I can tell you, early on in my life or bulk of my life, I never really got into, like, the zodiac sign and stuff like that. I've always known that I was a Capricorn and the month and I was born in and things like that. And I've heard certain things about Capricorns, and for the most part, all of it was true. You know what I'm saying? And. But when you get to, like, when you get down to, like, the details and things like that is you kind of like, damn, a lot of this shit sounds extremely Accurate. And although I be like anybody can have these traits, I think it just depends on how you was raised and your experiences and stuff like that. But for the most part what they say about a Capricorn, and I can't say as much of a lie, I think it's different levels, I think is certain percentages that's higher than others in certain categories and lanes. But for the average or general description of a Capricorn is fairly true. But one of those things is I'm a natural loner, I'm a natural introvert at heart, whatever comes with that. But a lot of that kind of helps with my self acknowledgement or my peace, my inner peace and stuff like that. And I just tend to stick to myself in certain pockets of the day in a month, in a year and I just stick to myself anything like that. I still continue to make merch, I play video games, I like to walk, I don't know if people know that, but I like to walk. I like to walk through the neighborhoods and stuff like that. Not just for exercise, but it's just, it's like an adventure for me, you know, just looking at other houses and areas and things of that nature. So I mean, you know, that's, that's a part of my peace and growth. And the way I talk, tone of my voice, the way I carry myself is different now, you know what I'm saying? And as far as the healing part, um, you know my mother birthday just passed recently, last Saturday, October 26th. And I tend to everybody goes through the seasonal depressions type stuff and I think I deal with that better than I have in the past. And shout out to J Book, she hit me up. Gigi called me those my two dogs right there, you know what I'm saying? Brett, obviously my wife, shout out to my wife, she brought a birthday cake, a balloon, um, and you know, a few family members hit me up and regards, you know, and stuff like that. And I post my yearly picture, one or two pictures of me and my mom every year. Um, but I've learned how to carry on, you know what I'm saying? It's still a wound and it's not, will never completely be be healed. But this is a healing process that's going to continue to just keep healing, you know what I mean? As I get older and more understanding, let's see, crying at everything that's number. Crying at everything that's not me. But I am an emotional person depending on what it is. So I'm not emotional towards everything or I don't cry. I shouldn't just say emotion. Cause emotions, that's different type of things, right? You got happy, sad, mad, upset, goofy, whatever the case may be type of emotions. This particularly is saying crying. I don't cry at everything, but I am a crier, though, you know what I'm saying? Inside out to anxiety. I definitely cried at that scene because I totally understand the anxiety character, right? Number four, you hear some dogs in the back because there's, there's dogs in the back and they're wrestling with each other, if you can hear them. Number four, I choked on a grape. I choked on a grape at six. So Brit explained in her episode that she choked on a grape. And she also has another story that connects with choking on her grape. I don't remember choking on anything, but I would say an equivalent experience to that is. And I've said I've shared this on a podcast before. I rode a bike, mountain bike, down three big ass steps outside my homeboy's apartment as a kid, though, you know, he stayed there with his mama and it was three steps. All right, so you have the sidewalk, then you have three big ass steps and then you got a walkway and then you have another set of steps that goes to kind of like a screen door that opens up to a flight of steps to his apartment. Y'all know what I'm talking about, right? So what I did was we took the bikes and we was riding down the steps. This particular time I rode down the steps. Now you're going down A1, you're going down a Runway. And I leaned forward, coming down to three steps, huge steps. Now, I'm not a BMX ologist or I'm not a X Games professional bike writer, but I know damn well you're not supposed to lean forward when your bike is pointing down, going down, whether it's a hill or some steps and handlebars went forward and I landed on my chest. And for at least, which felt like several minutes, I was out of breath and I couldn't talk. I had no voice in pain and I was scared because I thought I had lost my voice forever. So, yeah, y'all gotta go listen to Brit's part about the great. Then you'll come back and listen to how I almost, you know, smashed my goddamn chest in. Number five, Coolest place you've ever traveled with me would probably be the second time we went to Hawaii. The first time it was more of a resort thing. We was confined within a couple of blocks and stuff like that. We didn't get to travel, and it was the Waikiki. But then the second time, we went to the Big island, and I drove across the Big island to where. Because we was. When we went. We went on an adventure to go look for a cave. Me and my family went on an adventure in Hawaii to look for a fucking cave. And the reason why it was dope and it was an adventure is because we drove through like, yo, I'm recording, mocha. Don't be rude. If you want to say hi to the people, then say hi. But don't be in the back trying to steal all the goddamn. You know what I mean? Anyhow, we're driving across the Big island, and the. We drove. We drove through like a small little storm where it was gray, foggy, little rain. Well, it was a lot of rain. But then we get onto the other side. At one point, Marcy was like, I'm wishing if you want to turn back around. And they had, you know, they got the little outskirts, little pockets on the side to where, hey, you a little tired. Pull to the side or. You know. And it was kind of scary at first. Wish he had brought it up because the fog and stuff was so thick. We couldn't really see the oncoming traffic or nothing like that. We could barely see in front of us. So we was driving, like, maybe 40 miles per hour, you know. But eventually we got through it. Sunshine. And I. And I can show y'all some pictures. But we found a cave. We walked deep into a cave. Yeah, we wiling. We wiling. It was just beautiful, man. We saw this goddamn tree that looked like the shit came from, like, Stranger Things. Something where Vecna would be at. Go listen to my Hawaii episode. Big island koa. Get that out of your damn mouth. Yeah, the Big island was. That was a vibe, man. It was super dope. So that's probably the dopest, the coolest place I've been to travel to. Number six. Visiting Paisley. Paisley Park. I don't know what that is. Okay, so I'm not going to even lie to you. So I'm going to do. I'm going to tell you how I took a visit. Well, not necessarily. We went to Jamaica. We went to Jamaica right after Hawaii, and that was fun, you know what I'm saying? We went on the excursions, things of that nature. I think we had the Jamaica Independence Day celebration. It was a lot coming from that. I want to go back to Jamaica for sure. And they drive crazy out there. Did not get no kfc. But look up Jamaican KFC and you'll know why I'm upset that we didn't get no kfc. Number seven, hobby. Her hobby is her plants. And she be. She got so many different types of plants. She'd be talking to her plants. She played music and stuff like that. I don't do plants. I like plants, but I don't do plants. My wife has some plants. I do video games, I do merch. So you know, I'm at, I'm at the wreck nine times out of 10. I didn't get Madden this year. I did get to NCAA football, but I didn't think 2K would step in front of it like that, but it did. I haven't played NCAA in so long right now, but right now I have a 99 overall guard and I just redid him so his pats can be up. He's nice n. He's nice nigga, you know what I'm saying? So that's my thing. That's my hobby right now. Heavy on the video games and heavy on the merch. Number eight. She said she collect crystals. That's interesting. I didn't know she did that when she came out here. When she came out here. She said when she came out here she had some crystals with her. I didn't know she was a Power Ranger. I did not know that. And that's dope. And that's dope. I don't collect crystals right now. I'm not in collection of any. If anything that I'm in collection of right now is probably crew necks and hoodies. That's the only thing I'm in collection of right now. I don't. I haven't collected anything else outside of those two things. Let's see, favorite concert she went to, Prince concert. And apparently she went when she was younger versus when she was older. I would say the locks. The only reason why I say say the locks because I've seen them as, as adults. As an adult shout out to my boy Smooth. Downtown la. It was a small little spot in downtown la. Very intimate. We paid the VIP to be up there. It was like six people up there, a couple of girls and like two other people that were spread apart. And me and Smooth sat together. We was right, right next to the sound producer. Whatever the case. And the general admission actually got closer seat. Well, it was a standup room down below we was up top. But I got to meet the locks. I got to, you know, I gave Jada pound They all three of them signed my shirt. We Got video. I got pictures. You know what I'm saying? So I would definitely say. I would say the locks. Even though I have been to a. I've never been to an official Kendrick concert, but I've been to a concert where Kendrick was a part of it. That was All Star. That was one of the All Star weekends. He killed that, too. Let's see. Number 10. I've never been to a strip club. Now I have. I've been to strip club with Marcy. Me and Marcy been to the strip club twice. Fun, okay? But my strip club career has always been fun. I like the private stripper shows where they come to the crib or we rent it out. I remember for the homie bachelor party, it was like a U Haul. Not a U Haul, but like a. Those moving. No, shipping containers. Those shipping containers that was converted. You know how they make. They use a lot of shipping containers. They convert into, like, small, tiny homes. And that's kind of like what it was. It wasn't a tiny home. It was more so of a. What do you want to call it? It was like a man cave. Like a. A mansion man cave made out of shipping containers. They had a strip hole up in there. They had a bar. I got sick that night, but I had the Jack Nicholson seat in there. If y'all don't know what that is, Jack Nicholson has a seat at the stables where nobody sits in his seat, and they just know Jack. This is Jack's seat. And I had a seat where the strippers. All the strippers just kept coming over there. Now I'm not sure, because I was flashing some money. Cause hear me out. I'm the king of $40. I'm the king. I made. I made that shit. I make that shit. Look, I make it stretch. So I had it in my hat. I had a couple hanging out my pocket. But it was all $40. I did not have a lot. I know I didn't spend nothing over $100. Very cheap. But we had already paid for the strippers. Strippers got paid for. Everything else was just tips. But all the strippers came over there. I remember a chick that came down the steps, she did like, a somersault roll, and they did the splits on top of me. Crazy. It was. It was a crazy night. Crazy night. Giving out too much information. So, yeah, I have been to a strip club. Brit. Brit, you've never been to a strip club. I'm happy for you. And I'm jealous because now me, you, and Marcy got to go To a strip club together. Please put that on your bucket list. Me, you, me, you, Marcy, Strip Club 20, 25. Number 11 guilty pleasure movies. I ain't gonna even lie to you. To be tubi is my guilty pleasure, period. It used to be a peacock, but it's tubi to be is my guilty pleasure. And it's like, here's the thing. I'm tired of saying stuff is like trash or critiquing things like terrible acting. Like, you know what you go to these type of movies for is because you have just like when you go, I haven't been to McDonald' a very long time, but I remember what they cheeseburger tastes like. I remember what the fries taste like. I know what the apple pie tastes like. I know what a, you know, Big Mac tastes like. And even though it's not good for you, and your taste bud might be a little bit more advanced than that now, but you still know it tastes good. It's going to take care of whatever that itch is, you know what I mean? That's what tubi is, you know, that's what, that's my guilty pleasure. I will watch them. I will watch some tubi shit, you know what I'm saying? If I get, if I get desperate. Number 12, my fifth grade yearbook favorites. All right, I don't, I never had a. I never had a yearbook. Oh, I don't remember having a yearbook in the fifth grade. I don't know where that. I, I don't, I don't have none of my yearbooks, you know what I mean? But I will tell you this about a yearbook story. My last year, I did not hoop my last year, it was a mix up with, with, with a person with the same name. Some went on and I just didn't have the urge to fix the shit when I needed to. Also them n never gave me health class. It was a health class that they never gave me in the ninth grade. So I had to make that shit up in order to graduate. So I had to go to night class for that. But anyhow, I took a. I sacrificed my last year of basketball to be a part of the yearbook committee. And N. I showed up and showed out for the homies. Nahi played football. That nigga Dabby got multiple pictures in the, in the yearbook. The basketball team got a crazy page, you know what I'm saying? And I sprinkle myself in throughout the, throughout the year. But I got a couple of appearances throughout the year, but I gotta go find one. I try to find A person who has the yearbook so y'all can see. Because I had a. I had a lot of input on some. Not all, not everything mine. My job was to do the sports because I had access on the field, on the court, in the locker rooms. I had access to all that because I was a player. So that was my job. So you know what I did? I catered to the. I catered to the sports. Well, mainly basketball and football. Shout out. So that's my yearbook. That's my damn Stefan Diggs. I just lost Stefan Diggs for the whole year. What's the next one? That's okay. Number 13 movies. I don't like that. Everyone else does. Let's see. I don't really complain about movies. Like, you know what? I don't like Hallmark movies. I will watch them if I'm in the mood or if I'm high or if I just, you know, during my quality time with my wife. But I don't like predictable, cheesy movies. And that's Hallmark, you know, Like, I don't like the movies where, you know, she's a laundromat worker. The king comes through, he needs an emergency cleanup thing. He sees you. He, you're attractive. You think he's an ass. So you end up being together or some shit like that. Like, I don't like those type of movies. You know, outside of that, I'm. I'm really open, but, you know, I'm more of a thriller. Suspends horror, action type of guy. Animation as well. So. Hey, shut up. Y'all hear me record and stop being disrespectful to this episode. Mocha. God damn. So, yeah, I ain't really got no complaint towards no movies like that. Number 14, books I like to read. The one book that I'm reading right now is the Subtile Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson. A counterintuitive approach to living a good life. Yeah, I bought that one. I still haven't finished it. You better. You better not go to that window and bark. There's nothing back there. The one book that. My all time favorite book is Tears of a Tiger. Very emotional book. Very. It's a. It's a depressing book, but it was dope. You know what I'm saying? Of Mice and Man. I know, I'm with. That was a dope book, though. That was a dope book. I'm not much of a. I'm not much of a book reader, though. I ain't gonna even lie to you. I like the Audios I could fuck with. Never finish the Will Smith one though. Let's see. How many pillows do you sleep with now? This is a very fucking good question. I like to just sleep with one and fold it. But I like to be surrounded by pillows when I'm laying down. I like the little hot dog pillow. Is it called a hot dog pillow, a lay pillow or some shit like that? I don't like. I like that pillow just like when I'm gaming or I'm just chilling and stuff like. But when I go to sleep, I like a beat up pillow. I don't like a firm pillow because I don't want to crook in my neck and I want to be comfortable. I want to be able to form my comfortability. So I would just say one or two pillows. A pet peeve. I don't like. Loud people, I don't like. It's a lot of shit that just bothers me. Loud people, cigarette smokers, oh, bad kids. And the parents that come with them. Let me tell you. I really believe that motherfuckers know that their kids is bad and they either don't know how to correct them or they just don't care. And that really bothers me because if I do something to your child, then you have the right to be upset. But at the same time, I feel like I had the right to check his ass. And I don't like that. You know what I mean? Especially when it comes to my kids. If your child is acting like an towards my kid and you not doing nothing, then I'm gonna want to fight you. This ain't no tough guy shit. It's just, this is a parent protecting his child. Like if you can't control your child, then I have to whoop you, I have to bully you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, there's so many pet peeves, dog. Like, move your fucking basket out of the way. That one kills me. That one. You know, nigga, this is that we, we in a supermarket. Niggas is trying to get to that cereal. My nigga. You, in a way, move your shit out the way. Just move. Be considerate, you know what I mean? That's it. Just move your fucking basket out the way. What's the next one? Bucket list location. Oh, Tokyo. Off top. Me and Marcy been talking about this for years. I want to go to Tokyo. Yes. And I told her, I said, and I will go by myself. Like, that's how much I want to go. I'm not about to sit up here and Wait on nobody. But we do as a couple. Plan on going to Tokyo. I do want to go to Tokyo. That's definitely on a bucket list. Let's see. Favorite family tradition. That's a good one. Oh, well, one of our family traditions was we would make a video performing, dancing to music for Christmas and for the New Year's. And we have stopped doing it because that's when, you know, obviously they didn't. They didn't, you know, scale back a little bit, but they used to take all our videos down, sometimes after a year because of copyright infringement, you saw. So now that tick tock is. Is a thing and they got everything squared away with the music and IG is showing more love. We can make videos again. And we made one last year for the New Year's shout out to Henry. He was a part of it. But that's our. That's one of our family tradition also. We. We travel as a family too, once a year. And we was. We also have a family tradition to the side. Like, we have another side family tradition where we travel with the Crosley. That's my homeboy and his family. And we've done Big Bear together. We're doing. We're doing Mexico this year. You know what I mean? So that is kind of a tradition for us to do something. And me and Marci does. We do the couples thing where we'll travel with a couple and, you know, we went to Napa. You know what I'm saying? Next year, I'm not sure what it is gonna be, but that's also a tradition. I mean, it's outside of our whole family, but still. So that's. That was a good one. Family traditions. Talent show. I don't remember. You have to go to her show to talk about what the talent show is. I'm assuming she was in a talent show before. I was in a talent show in high school where I think I was rapping or something like that. And I did the stupid ass R. Kelly thing. I know I shouldn't have said his name where I sat in the chair. This one, I had a little bit of hair and I said and braid my hair and I had it. And I had. I don't know what the hell I was rapping. I don't. I don't remember what it was. I don't. I just remember I got on stage, me and my homeboy, and we was rapping. Don't know what we rapped. Don't know what beat we did. All I remember was when it ended I sat in the chair and told her to braid my hair. And a girl came on stage and acted like she was braiding my hair. That's what I remember in high school. And I also was in like, a. What do you call that shit when you're on a Runway modeling type shit. I did model some clothes for the Homie clothing line before at a Scientology place. That shit was crazy. I got. I still got pictures of that. Fears. Oh, man. I don't like to talk about my fears only because I don't like to. Like. I don't like to speak. Speak, you know, speak life into them, but I just have a fear of losing someone close to me. Like, I've already had, you know, lost both of my parents, you know what I'm saying? And. And then lost some friends. So that's. That's one. You know, anything pertaining family, just afraid of failure. That's one. I think that's my biggest fear is afraid of failure. My fear of dying has. That has died out a long time ago. You know what I mean? I'm not. I don't want to sound morbid, but to say that I'm excited to see what's on the other side that says. I mean, that's one thing, but I'm not. I have no plans on getting there anytime soon. You know, I could wait. I could wait, but the fear of death within myself, that's not a fear. But, yeah, like I said, I just. As Long as everybody's protected in the grace of God and we got some angels looking over us, that's what I'm here for. But that's what I fear about every day. Every day I go to work. Every day I go to work. Every day I drive home, whatever. I mean, you know, my mind is racing. My mind is never off. You know what I'm saying? So that's pretty much my fears on that one. Favorite love song. I don't know if this for all time. I can't. I can't give you just one love song all time. But I don't know, to tell you the truth. It's not a hard question. It's just. I'm not sure what type of love song that I would want to like, because the first person that pops in my head is either Haley Smalls or Victoria Monet as far as, like, recent artists. And they have some great R and B songs, so it would probably be anything that they made. You know, I mean, I can go back in the day and search up some vintage R and B songs. But right now, I've just been on this, you know, this new alternative R and B soul type of, you know, vibe or whatever. And if I had to pick. I mean, if I had to pick a song right now just so niggas can get off my back, I would probably say, damn, I can't think of one. You know, I'm just throwing. Throw a song out there that y'all probably would like. I don't. I want to play it during the episode, but I don't want it to get blanked out. But the dream fruition. That's one. That's a cool song. That's a cool song that you can play and dedicate to somebody. They'll like it. Oh, she mentioned that she used to go to, like, video shoots and stuff like that as her favorite pastime. I didn't have that type of experience, but that was definitely dope. You gotta go hear her talk about that and the artist that she's met and became friends with. But my favorite pastime. My favorite pastime might be, I would think, as a kid playing hooping, like, going to just random parks to go hoop, like, street ball. Street ball. That was probably my favorite pastime. I used to love hooping. Going to Santa Monica. We used to hoop everywhere, though. So I would just say hooping between the ages of, like, maybe a teenager, maybe 14, 14, to, like, my mid-20s to all the way to the adult leagues. Yeah, that's probably it right there. Celebrity Crush. Oh, my God. Everybody know, man. Vanity is always up there. I loved a lot of older women. That was popular in the 70s and 80s and in the 90s, of course, but Vanity is up there. Shit. Who else? I mean, it was a lot of Arian. Janet was always gonna be up there. Maya will always be up there. Neil Long. God, it was a lot. It was a lot of Leah, Chili, you know what I mean? Like Pam Greer. Pam Greer was sexy than a mug boy. Yeah, those are my several celebrity crushes. What song can you recite perfectly for one meal? You know what? I'll be honest with you, America. A lot of songs that I love sometimes. Some of them songs, I never took the time to learn them word for word. I just didn't, you know how you know a lover song so much? And you always said it a certain way because it, like, rhymed, but it wasn't what they really said. I'm still that person. I like that. That's a favorite pastime. Not knowing the lyrics, but still singing every word to it. What song would that Be though. I couldn't really tell you, bro. I had to get back to you on that one. I had to get back to you.

We coming up on the end, number 45. A memory with my mom from childhood. Hmm, that's a good one. I don't wanna get emotional either. You know what? I'm gonna pick one. When I was driving, I remember she had a Ford Escape and I was taking her to a doctor's appointment and we were leaving. It was coming from Bellflower and I'm just floating across like I'm not speeding or anything like that. Doing respectable speed on a freeway. And this is the first time I actually impressed her. Driving just out of nowhere and I was just switching lanes like, she seen me, like, you know, looking over my shoulder and shit like that. And I'm switching lanes and everything is just gliding and smooth. And she was like, oh, you know how to switch lanes? Like that. That was her saying, like, you did a good job. So that's one memory I like. That was dope. You know what I'm saying? Favorite quote. Shit. Favorite quote might be the one that I just said earlier. You know what I'm saying? Something that you don't like, change it. And if you can't change it, change your attitude. I fuck with that one. I mean, there's so many others. You know what I'm Saying it is what it is. Another day, another dollar. I say that a lot. We here now, you know. Well, I don't really say that all the time, but. But yeah, yeah, no, no, I like that one. You know what I'm saying? If it's something you don't like, change it. And if you can't change it n change your attitude, basically. If you ain't gonna do nothing about shut the fuck up. Favorite accessory that you wear. Favorite accessory that I wear. Favorite accessory. I don't really wear accessories, tell you the truth. Nah, I can't really say that I have anything outside of like graphic socks. And I will say that if anything, I mean, I have a. I have a watch. And sometimes I'll be forgetting to wear my own. My ring, my wedding ring and socks. I'll say that my wedding ring and socks, if I can use that. Let's see. Favorite. Oh, no. Most embarrassing thing that happened to you. Embarrassing. Embarrassing. Embarrassing. I can't remember anything embarrassing. I can't remember if it was something crazy. I definitely wouldn't mind sharing it, but I just can't. I remember one time Marcy was something like that, and she told me to wash the clothes or some shit like that, I don't know. But I ended up washing some clean clothes one time and I felt stupid, you know what I'm saying? Other than like everybody that has had the moment where they tripped in front of a few girls or something like that. Yeah, I can't really think of nothing else after that, you know? Let's see, what's the next one? I'm a sentimental person. I keep movies. Oh, okay. So she keep movie tickets and stuff like that. I'm kind of with her. Like when I go to sports events, I like to keep the tickets that we bought. Concert tickets, sports events, shit like that. Recitals. Yeah, I'm the same way. They end up being everywhere but same. I'm the same way. I like to keep certain shit pictures, for sure. I'm a huge picture guy, even though I have yet to really print something out. And I. I said one of my goals, I said a long time ago, was to start making a scrapbook or a photo album. I think that would be dope. So I need to get back to that. I need to remember that. Put a pin in that. Whoever's listening to that episode, please remind me to start to go get. Go purchase a photo album book and start building it. And last but not least, 50th. What do you love about yourself now? I'm aware I understand that everybody is flawed. I understand that people will take advantage if they can. I understand people understand you a little bit more. So they are going to treat you how they feel they need to treat you based off of how you let them treat you. And I understand that now. I understand that nobody's doing better than the other person and we're all here still trying to survive and figure it out. That's why I don't get offended or none of that. I understand that people are who they are. I'm no longer really surprised by what people do or say. And I, and that's what I like about myself is being more aware. Being aware was never an issue. Being aware and knowing how to understand it and on how to deal with it, that's what I fuck with. You know what I'm saying? I can still be offended at certain things. I could still feel a certain type of way. I could still be, still feel, be petty and things like that. But now I understand it and I get to choose the emotions that's going to take over depending on what that is. I totally understand it now and I like that. The one thing that I love about myself is my self awareness and my awareness about others, you know, and understanding that you also, I have flaws and you start to see the other flaws in people, you don't confront them about it unless you, unless it's out of love. But I just, is just aware of it, you know what I'm saying? Like I can listen to a nigga's podcast and I can tell you what type of nigga he is. Not just overall but like for the episode or who he used to be or who she used to be or how she used to talk or how she used to carry herself, how she carried herself. Now who he's around, what he allowed, what she's allowed, you know, all that stuff. I'm aware of that and I'm not saying that I know for a fact after just listening to an episode or just being around you and stuff like that. It's just I observe if I'm around you enough, I'm going to pick up and I'm going to learn some shit. If you think I'm not thinking about you, you're wrong. And you might be right depending on how much you think I care about you. It's not to know about you and to care about you is two different things. But just know if you're around me or we communicate a lot. I'm thinking on how the relationship should be and how I should carry it all the time. I break down people's characters all the time, and I put them in certain categories and boxes based off of how they carry themselves, how they treat me, et cetera, and that's what I love about myself. Whatever they said about a Capricorn, that nigga did that shit. I'm telling you that right now. [00:54:59] Speaker B: I'm a Capricorn. Of course I'm going to ignore you the moment you give me the slightest cold shoulder after I was emotionally vulnerable with you. I'm a Capricorn. Of course I know everything before you tell me. You think I got this far by being dumb. I'm a Capricorn. Of course I was born with financial literacy boundaries and trust issues. I'm a Capricorn. Of course the way I tell you I love you is by adding you to my emergency contacts. I'm a Capricorn. Of course I avoid shit because I'm afraid of me, not you. My temper go from zero to prison real fast. I am a Capricorn. And of course I'm basically just a hopeless romantic with a dirty mind who has high standards. I'm a Capricorn. Of course when you meet me, you think I am quiet. When you talk to me, you wish I was quiet. When you know me, you'll be scared. [00:55:47] Speaker A: When I am quiet.
