This message is for millennials. If you are not a millennial, you can stay, but just understand that the conversation is not directed at you. You are not the focal point. If you are a millennial, come a little closer. We need to have a conversation. Because I am somebody who is actively on social media, I, of course, see all of the criticisms from Gen Z regarding what millennials do, whether it's us posing or how lingo, we are under direct scrutiny from the generation that is coming right behind us.
And I'm just not quite sure why. As a millennial, you care what they think?
[00:01:16] Speaker B: Oh, I don't fuck them niggas. They not my homies. Shit, care about them niggas like that. It's a PSA today. Okay? I just want to get through this real briefly. I respect y'all. I love y'all. Yo, I just found out that my.
We from a different click, too. Like, we got a different click. What's that called?
It's when the millennials. And what's the group before us. I forgot, but we call something like the Zennios.
We like the Zinnias. If you was born between 19.
What was it, 1977 and 1983, you consider the Zenios, because we was with the analog and the digital at the same. Like, we was. We was there for both.
Yeah. So that's like a little click. That's like.
That's like. That's like.
That's like nwo, but like the wolf Pack or something like that. Y'all get it? You know what I'm saying? I get it. Look, it's a psa, though, okay? Psa. Look, man, I'm retiring from being a wingman, okay? I'm not. I know. I'm not helping nobody. I'm not helping none of you. I'm not helping an adult go after another adult in person. I'm not doing that, okay? I'm too old. I'm too old to be walking to somebody, walking over to a section of women or to a lady and say, hey, well, hey, hey, hey. Let me explain something to you. My buddy over here no, no, I'm not doing that. I'm not the wingman. I retired.
Switch jerseys after the game, hang my shit up in the hallways.
I'm not doing that. Do your YouTube. You're too. Too much of an adult to have a wingman. Still.
That's nasty business.
Hmm.
You got your homeboy walking up doing all the. What's the. I never under. Look, I ain't gonna say I never understood it, but it is kind of like, if you really think about it, just think of how stupid it is that you send your boy over there to be like, hey, tell girl. Like, yo, I want to holla at her. You could have did it yourself.
Nine times out of 10, you avoid a rejection or, you know, you ugly. It's just one or the other, right? But here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. This is the part that kills me.
Say she is interested and she want to talk to you. Which I've seen is done. I've seen this completed. I played this. This scenario comes from real life experiences.
What do you do after that? Like, what was where. What was she thinking when she was like, yeah, I holla at him and then go over there and they started talking, and it's like you was playing hiding, hide, and go seek, and she just forgot about that. Like, I know some that got rejected because of that. Like, no, I tell them, like, if you can't. If he can't speak up for himself, then, like, what we gonna do? When is he gonna ask me on the date you got to send your homeboy to do the dirty work. That's nasty. But it happened. It was a part of life, and it was fun. It was fun when you are the wingman because you have a certain skill set and responsibility at the same time. You are.
You are the connecting piece to the vibes, the wingman. And you got to have a. You got to have a winning record more than a losing record. As a wingman, you get. As a matter of fact, if you got a losing right, you're not a wingman. You might be the. That needs a wingman if you got a losing record.
Yo, playoff, yo, playoff appearances gotta be better than the Spurs. Gotta be better. Okay? Just get your together.
It's fun being a wingman, but I'm looking at you a certain way if that's. If you pull that.
That tool out. Pause. And it had no. I had no other way to go with this, so I set myself up for that one.
But if that's the option that you going with. And you go with that option, majority of the time, I gotta look at you for. You gotta get demoted in the homie rankings because you.
All right, man. That's. Again, this is a psa. I'm telling y'all how it is going forward. Okay, this is another. This is important. Listen up. Listen up, y'all.
If I use my wife's future plans as a reason not to go out or to go wherever you invited me, just know right then and there I'm lying.
And the only reason why I don't want to tell you straight up is because I feel like y'all emotionally attach to these invites, and I don't want to let y'all down.
So I'm a lie.
So anytime, like, hey, man, I got, you know, this going on. Hey, like, I got a spot open for you. You know, you want to roll. Yeah, I'm. Nah. Me and my wife this weekend, we.
Something about, you know, we gotta go somewhere, we busy. Yeah. No, that's a line.
That's a lie. Although we do be busy a lot, though, on the weekends. Like, we don't get too many, you know, four weekends out the month, sometimes five, maybe. We average.
It's like 50%.
So we in. And when we go. When we do stay home, like, we at the crib. At the crib. Like, I'm not going nowhere, buddy. I ain't going nowhere.
Another thing is, like, let's just say, hypothetically, we can just reset the planet, but we got to start it off with, like, certain human beings, right? Like, we gonna do a total. A whole. Total reset, but we gonna start it off with who I think is the best human beings of all time. Some of them, right? So we're gonna go with Kobe. We gonna go with Bruce Lee. We gonna go with odb.
ODB definitely gotta be on the. On the. On a hard reset. ODB Gotta come back, and he got started off again. Odb. We got kdot, we got Nas, and we got Jason Bateman. All of those.
All of those are starting. That's. That's. That's the starting group right there. Then we're gonna follow that up with Nia Long, Sade.
The whole band. No, I was just playing lead singer Daddy, lady of Rage, Shirley Chisholm. Hair and Harriet Tubin. But look, I might. I might sub Shirley Chisholm out for Madam C.J. walker. Oh. Mainly because me and Madam Madam C.J. walker, we got the same birthday.
That's it. Like, true Capricorns. Like, that's why I Might have to take her. And then I got to get Harriet in there because she writer.
That's it.
We gonna find a way out and we gonna fight. So I gotta go with that. I gotta go with that.
And the next one is, this is actually a question to y'all, though, but I'm gonna answer my own question.
And somehow this is part of the psa.
What's this chapter called in your life right now?
What's the title of this? So all my podcasters out there, y'all wanna take time out in y'all show, not even send me any feedback? Matter of fact, send me the feedback through your show. Huh? Okay.
That's the question. What's this chapter called Right now in your life right now? Mine is called leadership.
Mine is called Leadership because I'm uncomfortable, and I've been uncomfortable since I got back to the States. I've been feeling very uncomfortable. I had some things shifted and change in my. In my work career, and I feel a change. And every time I feel a change, I feel uncomfortable. And every time I feel uncomfortable is to know there's another level I'm supposed to be going to. And I may be.
Not necessarily holding myself back, but hesitant and nervous about the new. The next level, because the next level may come with additional responsibilities and more opportunities.
So that's why my next chapter is. Well, not. Not my next, but my current chapter right now is called Leadership. And fellas, very important thing. If she make. If she cooking the eggs, if she wake up and say, hey, you know what?
I'm about to make some breakfast. Al Bundy breakfast. You know, pancakes or waffles, you know what I'm saying? Or French toast. You pick. Those are the three head honchos right there. Bam. That's. That's what's. That's an option. But your sides is gonna be bacon, sausage, Bacon and. Or sausage with some eggs. Okay? That's the breakfast. That's the Al Bundy breakfast. You know what I mean? That's the Al Bundy breakfast. But, fellas, if she's. You get up and you walk in that kitchen and she making those eggs. If she's scrambling those eggs with a silver fork in that saucepan, get out that house. Leave, bro.
That's a red flag.
Argue about it.
She messing up your skillet, fam.
She messing up your skillet. Something has to happen.
Something has to happen.
That's where I'm at with it. That's my psa. Hey, and I seen the kid, which I might talk about on open Run.
Did I. I don't know if I talked about this on open run or not.
Cause, yeah, I seen how the kid was. Y'all seen how the kid was barking at Bron in the stands at the championship at Bryce championship game. That's nasty business, man. That's nasty. Somebody supposed to check him. Like, what ref supposed to. I'm not looking for Brian to get any special treatment, but to get. To get.
Nah, that was nasty. That shouldn't happen to anybody. I don't even care if it was cat off the bench in the league.
Like, what you showing up to the game, yelling at me, saying all kind of crazy. And my wife and my daughter there will watch. My son gotta catch a fade. These little kids is. These little motherfuckers is wild. Nowadays we gotta start slapping. I think we gotta go back to physical punishment. To me, that's what that. To me, I believe in that. When you see cats getting outta control too much, you might have to slap it in the back of their head. That's probably one of the most disrespectful hits that you could do in society of all time, is slap somebody in the back of their head.
Because that's just.
To me, that hand is the hand connecting with the back of your head is saying, stupid. You automatically, stupid. I'm out.
