I said no. she told me that they're going to put a breathing apparatus in me. She was like they're not about to do all that. It's a dinner's office.
Speaker 1:So you scare me, you scare me.
Speaker 2:Luckily they just put. They put some air in me And then they said you'll be breathing on your own. I said, oh OK, cool, go for it, and we're good to go.
Speaker 1:The most I'd be afraid of is my wife or anybody that takes me tries to. So OK, before I even say that and put that in the universe, did you go under like anesthesia or, yep, local anesthesia? So that means they just injected you with like in your gums.
Speaker 2:They know they injected me. Yeah, they injected me in my gums And and they put me under. Yes, i did go under. So they gave me general. Ok, i remember I just know at one point they gave me an obvious sodium chloride or the salt water.

And I was like, oh, you know, i'm due to say I feel really tired. You injected me, didn't you?
Speaker 1:And that's the last thing I remember, jeez, i was like so you wake up and you or nothing like that. Um, i wasn't to confess that you ate your wife's chick for later on the day. Nothing like that. No, no, i woke up. I woke up and I couldn't open my eyes.
Speaker 2:But I could feel them still doing shit. Yeah, and I was like oh, this is so painful.
Speaker 2:And so eventually I open my eyes and like, oh, welcome back. I was like I guess so. And then I was like, oh, i guess so. And I'm like so how do you feel? I said I feel fine. It was like yeah, cause you know some people get very emotional. And I said, oh, don't worry, i've been under more than once before, so I know that once I come to the state calm, to my heart rate doesn't go too high. It was like oh, what happened You first time? I said I jumped up cause I didn't know where I was. And I didn't know where I was. Oh, i was like oh, there's a whole Mr Smith Calm down. I was like huh.
Speaker 1:That's when you start swinging at everybody in that month. Locking trees down and shit smacking babies. all that shit, all that shit.
Speaker 2:I felt like this was more of a very subtle wake up. It wasn't like in a rough, like oh my God, some waking up from a dream. It was more like when I felt the pain in my mouth. I knew exactly where I was and I knew to stay calm, yeah. But I will say it wasn't tough to walk. But when I did get up I did feel a little, a little, you know, like a earplug assassin's creed where you do the little drinking game and you got to like, keep your balance.
Speaker 1:Nope, have not played any assassin's creme, but I mean video game shit.
Speaker 2:I get it. You had to kind of keep my balance a little bit, but then I was good after I got up and moved around.

Speaker 1:shit just to fuck with us. I'm just happy to have some clean ass motherfuckers as clean as it can be air. That shit was crazy at points. but all that shit behind us for right now. You never know It might be the norm. It might be a rapid wildfire in Canada every year. Never know It might be out there It was a wildfire.
Speaker 2:I came home from Ocean City and I go outside to go walking and I'm like, why is it so smoky? I thought somebody was cooking out early because it's not like barbecue. Yeah, i'm like, oh, somebody just out here early at seven o'clock in the morning just getting a barbecue on, but why is it so thick? Like I was like whatever, didn't think nothing of it. I didn't find out that it was wildfires until Friday.
Speaker 1:I think I did a trail, and I think I did the trail and everything and came home with a headache and was like I don't know I must have overdid it. But smoking a lache, yeah, i couldn't kill myself. Didn't know? Yeah, didn't know that.
Speaker 2:I went for my 30 minute walks every day and not even knowing. And then when they finally told me I was, I always said you know how, like when you find out what was going on, you're like oh God, I feel it in my throat, Like I can't breathe. That's what happened. I was like yo, I can't breathe, Oh my God, It's like I can't smoke in my lungs. But I didn't say it while I was at work. I had to dress up for work on Thursday. I ain't been doing that And I did the sex with Lex podcast. I did that episode. How'd I go? It went all right. We'll see how it comes out when she drops it later this month.
Speaker 1:She dropped it already.
Speaker 2:No, she didn't drop mine. She was recorded it last month. She she's like yeah, i'm a, because I think I was the first, i was the first person to record that day, but she dropped the other ones before she dropped the one that me and her and the other guy did. All right, so we'll see how it went. You know said it came out good and I was like you might want to add some music in the background because this sounds really bland. But I was like you know, but it was cool, you know. You know like regular recorder.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, speaking of sex with Lex, one of my homies sent me some nourishing, but just some disasec way. So like that, right One of my homies, we in this group chatting shit and apparently it was national masturbation day, maybe like a week or two ago.
Speaker 2:What I didn't hear about that.
Speaker 1:No. So he sends me this. He sends me this screenshot and I'm not sure if it's a. It was from Peter and I'm not sure if it's actually from Peter, because you never know what AI and you know people photoshopping and shit like that. So this shit.
Speaker 1:Say animal friendly ways to talk about self pleasure, right. So there's one part of this one I want. I want. Okay, i get to it. So one of them is that a beat the meat to go to pickle Instead of shock the oyster, flick the bean Instead of whipping the weasel. So I'm going to turn up milk the cow or juice the orange, polishing the pearl, buffing the vegan muffin. So I have a problem with buffing the vegan muffin. Oh, the last one, flogging the hog, is a polish. But I personally have a problem with the vegan muffin because the fuck is that Right. So I said you know I'm in a group chatting shit. I say yo, why not finagle the bagel? There you go. And then one of my homies was like why bagel? I'm like yo, because if you turn it the right way, you know pussy looks like a bit, you know slit, and you look at the slit or whatever, pussy kind of looks like a I mean a bagel kind of looks like that Right.
Speaker 1:You know, fat lips and shit like that. And one of my homies was like no, it doesn't. I was like, look, i already done the studies It do. And when I say studies, real life studies, is not me just like, oh, i seen a bunch of pussy. I mean, i mean, i held a bagel. I look, this is way back in the day, i got my wife right.
Speaker 1:The bagel look, look again, look again, look again. And I did that to two women, and three gave me their own opinion because they wouldn't let me see We just in a group and we was talking and shit like that. So I'm like I was like yo, you asked them some salmon and some cream cheese and shit. Boom, they all did Like that's, that's what that looks like. So would you, would you agree with that? Like the bagel looks like a.
Speaker 2:I would. I would have preferred the bagel seemed like it was a more accurate opinion of it or the buffing, the buffing, the fucking. Yeah, weird, oh yeah Oh, root chat Oh yeah. Animal friendly ways to talk about masturbation.
Speaker 1:That is not the whole topic, i know, oh man, oh yeah man, it was a whole situation of a didn't know me sending me fucking. Oh, so you like yo, he's like. So you like your koochie with poppy seeds on. I'm like I didn't say that. It's not what I'm saying. I am saying a plain bagel, that's the way it looks, i like, even if it's a fucking wheat bagel, i'm like just plain nothing on it, turn it, slit side forward. That is what it looks like.

Speaker 1:Yeah, because we take one less uh.
Speaker 2:Right, we didn't take more phone To this one, and so I was like you know, at some point you kind of get, you kind of get to a point where you're like, all right, well, we haven't, we, we haven't taken a break, we haven't come up with no new, we haven't experienced no new things that happen in life or any new, any new anything. So really you, you get to a point where you're now, you're at a standstill. So now you have to take the break. Go do some shit, get some fucked up shit that happened to you at work or some shit.
Speaker 1:So you have a story to tell? You know, say so.
Speaker 2:I got.
Speaker 1:I got stories until all day. It was just life was just kicking my ass. Regular life was just kicking my ass. I was like I gotta I got some things in order So I didn't realize I let a lot of stuff uh, you know, not get to waste, yeah, get to the wayside. Nothing really major, but just war less like Planting my time and my day-to-day stuff and Not hearing to the schedule that I got.
Speaker 2:You know that. She was like, yeah, so did you get fired from the podcast? I was like, no, i didn't get fired from the podcast. But then I was like that's a good way to say it like how come you ever before I got fired? you know, he went, he went a different route. My wife was like then they get fired. He's like, nah, he didn't. You know, you know how life is. Sometimes shit happens. Sometimes it's like all right, you know, let me, let me take a break, because you know, eventually He does get taxing. It gets taxing on you, it gets taxing on your relationships, gets taxing on your time. Yeah, sometimes you just gotta take that time to be like all right, i ain't got shit to do. I got worried about recording. Then I was like, damn man, i wish I could record.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's how I was too. It wasn't even that. It was uh, hmm, it's not car alone. It wasn't even that it was taxing, it was just like the the part time was taxing, like I. I got to I had to figure out a Like they increased hours and some more shit And what to increase ours with. They changed my hours and some more shit. So I'm like, let me try to figure this shit out. And uh, yeah, just trying to figure that shit out. And then it was like major projects at the nine to five. I'm like, all right, man, i got a guy, i come up with an in-game for this. Uh, but it's horrible for this whole ordeal because I don't want to Continue to work a part time, as much as I do Love the money.
Speaker 2:I am literally. I think I said this before.
Speaker 1:I'm literally getting half of what I make A year at my uh full time.
Speaker 2:And I'm not saying I'm rich. I am just saying, i'm doing okay, let me, let me borrow $50 a week.
Speaker 1:Right. I'm doing okay.
Speaker 2:Let me borrow $50 a week, man.
Speaker 1:That's shit. No, that's not. Look, look The. The reason for me having this part time, It's, of course, the jump start my savings. Nah, the hood red shit is just like the like a 1% of what I want to do, but it's like jump starting my savings. My wife is expensive, so it's not even like I'm buying her bags and shit like. That is more or less like. Whenever it comes to something, she just seems to like the expensive shit. It ain't even like she's choosing. She don't even know what it is. I'm introducing her to stuff and she'd be like uh, uh, this, and I'd be like that's the most expensive one, like she don't know what's the most expensive one.
Speaker 2:But it's the most expensive one. It's just the one that cuts her eye.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is always the most expensive one, but I'll see you. Yeah, you know, like white shit and Yeah, uh, you know just advancing my investments and shit, like I still be buying stocks. I one about his land I think we talked about that before. So It's a lot of stuff. But I think, like I said, i just had to come on with a. I have came up with a game plan and then how I'm gonna go about this shit and just had to figure it out. But I don't, maybe a couple more months and I'll probably be done with this shit for a, for Don't let me do that. It depends. It depends on how this economy go And if I'm getting the cost of living raised.
Speaker 1:That's how I like all that responsible stuff. Of course, that's what I want to do, that's what I'm going to do. But, like I said, like there's other stuff I want to do too. Like I, i've worked too hard not to enjoy that shit. Like I really want to go to Vegas in the fall. Yeah, i want to catch.

Speaker 2:We were supposed to record that very first day. So I look at my ankles. Nick, my ankles were so swollen like I look like a fat pregnant woman. That's how big my ankles were. Jesus and I was like you know what the hell. So I get home. I finally get home. I gotta go back to the office because of you know whatever's going on. So I get home, I get on the scale. So you remember, I told y'all it's 2, 31 what I left on that one nigga, i was like 248 Jesus, and so I'm like damn.
Speaker 2:So I'm all right, i can't drink the next. I ain't drink, i'm just drinking like water to kind of like maybe come on, all right, obviously I'm retaining water because my ankles are swollen. Nigga, by the time I woke up The next morning, i had gotten up to go to the bathroom like seven times.
Speaker 1:Why do you punish yourself this way? I don't know. But, like whoa, why this? this does not sound fun. Look, get up to pee. It's bad enough that we have to go pee in general. But you're, you're, you're literally like yo I'ma drink a bunch of shit and knowing why I had to get up to pee.
Speaker 2:Look, but I didn't get up the whole time I was down at O say I never got up to In the middle of like the piss or anything. I literally, when I got home I pissed that many times I pissed out 10 pounds of water. He's so stupid, yo. I lied to you that, look, by the time I was done pissing I was 10 pounds lighter And my wife was like, how did you go down there and fuck?
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh man, see like you went down and fucked yourself up eating crabs, drinking liquor, getting all that salt in your system, retaining all that damn water. I was like damn. So I haven't had a drink since.
Speaker 1:Disappointed you man, Hey look.
Speaker 2:I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 1:I'm disappointed you.
Speaker 2:I really look. I, when I got back and I was sleeping, i really thought I was gonna die that night because okay.
Speaker 1:So I'm super disappointed.
Speaker 2:You know My heart was beating so hard, like it was working so hard to get that water out of me and I was like I'ma die tonight and My wife is gonna be so mad.
Speaker 1:Did you know that he was? you're not even sad. She's gonna be so mad that I died.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's like why'd you go down there and fuck yourself?
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh man, why did you? I don't know. You an adult, you know better.
Speaker 2:Oh, i should have did better, but I know better now than that You know there's not.
Speaker 1:I know better now. I you know, I feel like your big brother and you older than me, and I'm scolding you about fucking not doing what you're supposed to do, Hey man, it happens, what can I say? How many episodes? some part of the episode. It turns into this Hey look, you got.
Speaker 2:I got to go through it first so that you won't you've already.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, you've already went through it. You've already went through it.
Speaker 2:Look, this is a reminder that you don't do what I do. I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't, i'm the one with the gray And you acting like You're older than me.
Speaker 2:Oh man, oh man. Yes, I've been uh alcohol-free Since last friday.
Speaker 1:So, unlike Mindy Kaling, you have not been being a respectable adult of this bitch.
Speaker 2:I know, respect one look. I took my time off from drinking, you know. And now?
Speaker 1:So it doesn't matter if you took your time off is are you changing your habits?
Speaker 2:Yes, i'm officially changing my habits. I have adopted the new very limited alcohol intake diet And I've been exercising and lifting weights more so I can get nice and buff for the misses. You know what I'm saying. I like to show my guns, be like hey look, baby, you see these guns. Okay.
Speaker 1:I like the hair, i like the hair. So you know how's the How's tutoring going.
Speaker 2:Hey, you know, tutoring is tutoring. It's the summertime, so a lot of them are taking the uh summer off. So I guess where it is got us a. So now I got some free time, but now I'm making less money. So now money, money a little tight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, true, i was looking at this article the other day and it was like, um, like nearly half of americans, or side hustles, say they're uh, uh, they believe that they'll always need one.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:I think you don't think you always need one.
Speaker 2:I don't think I always need one. I think I'll always want one. Like even even if I was making enough that I didn't need it, i still would. I might still just do it, just just to have some extra play money just to fuck around with Right, you know what I'm saying. Like if I was making like 70 80,000 a year, i wouldn't need a side hustle, but I would. I might still have one anyway, just because, yeah, So, no, i'm too scared of.
Speaker 1:I know you're not in control of anything like I know that, and I know that, yeah, i know that for a fact And, yes, i am not controlled of anything. But being in control, not being it, like I think it's the COVID thing. Like when everything's shut down, even though my particular job didn't shut down or I was still able to work, but just knowing that other people couldn't work, or this, this, and that I'm like y'all, i got to have something independent of work And I still don't, but I do want it. You know what I mean. I still don't, but I don't have a side hustle. I got a part-time job, yeah, but if something happens where I can't go to that, then It is what it is.
Speaker 1:I would like to have some money where I would like to have something while making money and don't have to be there, right. But Yeah, man, as far as I was like always needing one, like I was telling you earlier, i feel like I'm always that Well, not that I feel like I'm always needing one. I need one for right now, but I'll keep it as long as I can. You know what I mean. Like right, like in the moment of kid coming to play like with me and my wife and shit like that. That's it out the window, because there ain't no way my wife won't be cool with like oh, he's spending all his time in the basement working while she Upstairs with a prime baby or whatever. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 2:Well, I'll say, actually coming up on like having your first kid now. So should you?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know we practicing. Yeah so we, so you know, you gotta do what you gotta do, you know but now we perfect. That's why I had to stop drinking a little bit.
Speaker 1:Accusations. These are not accusations. This is false accusations. Put my shot up.
Speaker 2:Really, really, my biggest reason. I was like let me slow down the drink. It was so that I could produce stronger loads. Yeah, and you know, you know lifting and walking, you know. so I get you know so that I could produce more stronger ones, so that that way, you know, they can make it to the promise. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:I feel you, i feel you. The promise, egg, the promise Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I want kids.
Speaker 1:I want kids, but um, yeah, kids coming to play, that shit's a wrap. Like that shit is a wrap, Definitely, if you wasn't tutoring. What would be your ideal sidekick, though?
Speaker 2:Um, if I get some might, if somebody was like letting me coach basketball on the side for someone and they'll pay me. That would be my ideal thing, because it wouldn't be real work, it would just be.
Speaker 1:You know that that's work if you want to be good. I mean, I think you just gonna get like, like, like Duke recruits and and shit like that is like close by.
Speaker 2:I'm talking about like you know, somewhere where it's like they know they ain't got no, no good program And they're like look if you come in, we'll pay you, you know, you come in, we'll pay you a stipend, blase, blase, and then move up from there.
Speaker 2:You know, just all right, cool. And eventually you know they're like look, we can offer you this plus making what you're making, if not more than. Yeah, you know, but my, my side gig would literally be I want to do something where it's not Super. I got to think about it. Yeah, you know, saying like, like, let's say I was coaching right now, i wouldn't be able to coach because I wouldn't be able to yell, because I either rip my sutras out or or that's when you you get paid.
Speaker 1:So you get a designated yellow.
Speaker 2:Look, i had to get a blowhorn And I told you, put your hands up. But how are you doing? Hey bro fucking hands up True or assistant coach West will have to do the yellow for me. I had to lean over, tell them to put their hands up, but that would be my ideal thing, or I don't know what I would. What else I would do, i don't know. I wonder if I could get paid for mentoring kids to keep them on the straight and narrow. That's hard work, that's real real work, that's real work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's probably almost more part more stressful than your regular job. Yeah, yeah, this is Smith. I busted this girl And now she says you pregnant, you girls get pregnant that way. You be like oh my gosh man.
Speaker 2:We're like this What kind of music you were listening to? Yeah, I got a pregnant ride. The baby's holding the face Like what.
Speaker 1:Shout out to big, big reference Yeah, RRP, But no man. Like, if it was me I told you before, like, give me your only fans, my shirt off and I put together I care furniture. That would be my ideal pivot. And my wife just set up the live stream And I take breaks of drinking water eating a sandwich that she prepared.
Speaker 1:Hey, maybe some people, And I'm only saying that because I realized I got to get a callix for real. for real, i got to be one of those down in the laundry room. So I don't know, man that, that the last stream might be coming up soon.
Speaker 2:Man.
Speaker 1:Might be coming up soon. I think, about it, get the lighting right, because the basement kind of you know, the laundry room kind of dark.
Speaker 2:You can't do everything in green screen. Well, you know you could.
Speaker 1:No, I could And I can do. look, I can add. whatever I can I want to add back here. Like boom, give me something to add back here And I'll add it right now. Not right now, but right now. If you get what I mean, i'll make a clip of it.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, i will.
Speaker 1:What I realized I didn't do. But, yeah, man screen.
Speaker 2:You didn't go no place, you just, you just green screen it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just wanted to make sure it was set to green screen. No, because I'm going to have something later. Oh, I know what I'm going.
Speaker 2:I know, I know No man, i know.
Speaker 1:No, i know I'm serious And it's like a a siphon that that only fast shit. Um, to be honest, i know this sounds like more trouble than it can That it should be. I would not mind if I was getting paid and I could make my own hours as a side hustle teaching older folks the bare minimum, the bare minimum about technology, so they can not get scammed, so they can protect themselves. No, i'm dead serious. No, i'm dead serious. I am dead serious. You know how many times my mom calls me with something or ask me something. Like the scam, like you come on like that's scary.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's it Scary. You know, i'm right, i'll be like I should be like this is a scam. I'm like this is definitely a scam.
Speaker 2:Look, they have tried so many different things. I'm like yo, they were like the IRS, like now you got real people calling you. Hi, my name is, says, says from the US, marshall, my, my badge number is blaze blaze, blaze, blaze, blaze. You're like oh, all right. So, yeah, we let me say oh, we found a suspicious package. What's your name, what is this your address? This is the blaze blaze, you can call this person. So they were like okay, so we're going to do a recording, because you know we have to record this. And I'm like wait a minute, what? So this whole time you've been talking to me, you ain't been already been recorded.
Speaker 2:And so we're going to give you a couple of questions and we just need to respond yes or no. Huh, and then what I thought about so I'm still, i'm still there talking to him, like this is. I'm looking at my super brother Like this is a whole scam. He's like he's just going to sit there and play along with us. I'm going to wait, i'm going to wait. So then, when it became answered, he's just no questions, didn't it? Then I was like all right, now they can, now they can actually take my voice and be like so are you this? Yes, art. No, what's your name? The law, you know you know, this is like that.
Speaker 2:That's when I hung up.
Speaker 1:I said, well, look, if the US Marshal about to come and arrest me.
Speaker 2:then they need to show it to the right. They're going to show up to the door anyway And arrest me.
Speaker 1:So, whether they, i'm going to tell you like this, you, that's absolutely right, because that one time that I was almost, almost in trouble, but not in trouble, the motherfuckers tried to come to my, tried to come to my job. Actually, they contacted my job And they called me. I don't know how they got my number. They called me And when I say on that phone call, when I got called, there was not an ounce of background noise or anything. It was very, very odd And I was like, oh, this is what a recorded phone call sounds like, right, so, not to go too much into my business, had to meet up with them. That shit was real. And, uh, it was real.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Cause that's.
Speaker 2:I told my super I was like man look, i said first off, I know the IRS doesn't call to if there was really a suspicious package of cocaine or whatever that they, that they found with my name on to be a ship to me. First of all, cocaine shouldn't have money, so I know that. Second thing is nine times out of 10, you're not going to intercept it before it gets here because you're going to want to make sure it's coming to you.
Speaker 1:So I can arrest you because you got caught with the cocaine.
Speaker 2:Right, exactly So. I'm like, like in my head, i'm like I'm going to hang up this phone And if they don't call back, then they know, i know it was a scam, and I know they know it was a scam And we'll just go about our day. Yeah, scammed. And to this day, the US, mars won't show up here.
Speaker 1:So clearly I think I told that story when that, when something like that happened to me my girl at the time I put my phone. I called her. I'm like yo put the phone in my pocket. Anything sounds weird. Go to my mom and tell her what I you know, tell her what I just told you. So it was real. You have a feeling of his room. You have a feeling to speak.
Speaker 2:Hey look, they show them to my front door talking about some. Hey, you're under arrest and I know it was real.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, well, no, you don't, because you don't know who they are. Right, you don't know who they are. It's crazy. Like that's yeah, but that's what I would do as a side house was just like, like stuff like that, because I wouldn't mind, even if they don't have to be older, like there's a lot of people that ain't good with like anything. Computers no, no, i'm talking about people our age. Oh yeah, so it's just like yo, if I can just like, if I can get paid to walk you through the basics, because I feel like I can break it down to you real, real simple and it's going to help you in the long run. So, yeah, I'll do some shit like that. I could not do that as a four-time job, though. Oh, no, no, i would fucking kill somebody. No, i mean literally every, every fucking day, for eight hours. What was a?
Speaker 2:day.
Speaker 1:Hell. no, i need to give you like one or two hours of a West's tech course and you know, this is what we learned today.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:So yeah, this is what we learned today. But yeah, man, like I think, if I, if I could find the job that I like, is there an amount? so is there an amount? I think you already said your amount is there, but I'm going to ask you anyway, is there an amount of money that you would earn a year that would make you be like you know what fuck this tutoring shit?
Speaker 2:Yeah, At least 80, 90, 100,000. I need big money.
Speaker 1:For me, I need to lease 150.
Speaker 2:Yeah 160.
Speaker 1:Hey, look to say fuck any other side hustle. That's what I need, because at that point that's enough money to start like a little whatever that's going to run something on its own Right.
Speaker 2:Like because 150,000, yeah, 150,000, I'll set my business down 100,000 will allow me to not have to work in my business anymore. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it would just be a matter of making sure I can pay whoever's working for me, And then obviously I have to raise my prices to compensate for that Right. But yeah, that allow me to. yeah, that allow me to not have to. As long as there's no money coming from my account to pay somebody, it's a win for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so Yeah, that's what it will be. It has to be 160 because that way maybe at some point invest in the front like something, something that's going on like bringing whatever, and then I'm not missing that startup money anyway. Right, you know some people will never regard it always. You know they'll try to job hop and shit, and I actually thought about that in the last couple of months. But it's a lot of people that's getting into jobs and they're like yo, we're getting to the organization and they're like I should have stayed with a fuck. I'm at like, literally should have stayed with a fuck. I'm at like. It was this dude on Reddit and he was making 78 K a year And he was comfortable, like everything was sweet, he wanted to, he wanted to go to you know he wanted to up his.
Speaker 1:His paying shit went to another job making 90. But he said it was like the grass wasn't greener. Let's just put it that way, right, the grass was not fucking greener.
Speaker 2:And sometimes you never. You know, i think I've just been fortunate. I always go to the places where the unit is just so easy going Yeah, like I so happened to be in a unit where my supervisor and everybody else around is kind of laid back and easy going, where we can all kind of talk back and guarantee if I was at another unit where it wasn't like that, i'd be in my office, my door closed, only to speak, being speaking when being spoken to, only responding to email, shit like that. So I'm fortunate. But you never know, like some of these other units places you go, man, they be uptight And you just kind of you just be like I just been fortunate these last couple of years that you know being at the warehouse and you know, moving on to the state, that I've been lucky Shit.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, yeah, That guy or the person because I don't remember if it was a guy or not They were saying that, um, that he doesn't have. They don't have work like balance, and the program he supports is in financial shambles, like there's no money coming in. Wow, and he's a, he has. They have to travel from, they have to travel to Michigan and they live in Florida three or four days out. The three or four, uh, three or four, uh what was that about the month?
Speaker 1:Three or four out the four, three of the four next week's, some shit like that. Three of the four next quarter weeks, some shit like that. And I'm like yo and they say that didn't disclose that shit to them. I'm like, yeah, i've always like dredged shit like that. I'm like yo, wherever I'm going could be worse.
Speaker 1:So what I've done and I advise everyone to do this shit uh, pull up everybody that works for that motherfucker that has worked for that month. Uh, that motherfucker on LinkedIn. Yeah, that's the fuck I did with the position I got And I got some good insight on how things are being ran at that motherfucker. I knew who to look out for because people was just snitching on that bitch And I'm like God damn. So I knew what I was kind of getting myself into And I kind of had an idea of the personality of uh the director And I just had to not combat that the best way, but just I had to go in and be like yo, this is just work. I don't really care to uh be friends with nobody, especially not the director. I'm going to do my job And that's what you're going to get.
Speaker 2:He don't know. I had no clue what I was getting into when I got there.
Speaker 1:I told you that fucking 16 hour day, the first day.
Speaker 2:No, i did two days in one on my first day, yeah.
Speaker 1:I remember.
Speaker 2:I was at Ocean City. I was like I was telling my boss I was like man. I said I at first I thought you were fucking with me, like y'all just going to see if I was just ready to get up and go. I didn't realize we were going to get up and go. He's like oh yeah, now you just came on the wrong day.
Speaker 1:The fucking wrong day. Every day is a wrong day.
Speaker 2:I came in on that My first day. Got there, i got there at eight o'clock, eight, eight, eight, 30. I got my ID. I go up there. They're like, yeah, we got this going on, but you, you won't. They told me I'm more than likely won't have to go because there's no room to go. I said, all right, cool. Next thing, you know, one of the people dropped by, they just told me to saddle up. Like what, what you mean? saddle up, Oh God, 15 hours. First day, 15 hours. They said it was crazy. Oh yeah, that's crazy. And then the next week, and then the next week that following Wednesday, i had to be at work at five 30. So I did a five 30 to five That very next day, that very next week.
Speaker 1:Oh God, working. That's motherfucker, man.
Speaker 2:Look. And then when I was out of those city they told me it was like yeah, you know. So you know our deputy. She always says, yeah, you know, you were like our first choice. So I couldn't find out. I wasn't necessarily there First choice. I was my supervisor's first choice. I was. He was on vacation for my interview. He said that they were so ready to hire somebody else by the time he got there that he wouldn't have had to say it. And then he said so this other chick was like, yeah, but I wanted this other person, they wanted this person. You weren't necessarily in the top anything And then why are they telling you this?
Speaker 1:Like, don't fucking tell me this, i don't know. I'm here, i ain't going to, all right, i was like, oh okay, cool.
Speaker 2:And it was like, but then I said, well, why don't we just wait for him to get back to pick who he was or who he thinks might fit? and then when he saw my interview, he was like, yeah, i want this guy. I was like, oh okay, well, that works. But she was like yeah, she was like at some point. She said at some point in that interview apparently I made a face when they asked me the math questions.
Speaker 1:Like you was a computer and you was computing the answer.
Speaker 2:No, like I was like offended. I was like I told us I wasn't offended, i was a tad bit bothered that I want to ask me some easy math questions like that. I said not only do I have a degree in math, i work in a warehouse. You're asking me warehouse questions of simple math Like, come on, you could have skipped over those questions. Well, you don't know how many people had gotten those questions wrong. I said, and if they did, that's their problem. But I'm a math major. If I get it wrong, you should disqualify me off the path.
Speaker 1:Yeah, listen, my my interview with the position I got. I think I said that shit before, but asked me a. This is how he said it. He was like and this doesn't qualify you or disqualify review for anything, we just want to know how you answer this question. And he gave me a fucking math problem And I looked at all the motherfuckers. I ain't even fucking give a, i ain't even do the shit in my head. I just threw out an answer and it was like you sure about the answer? I said yes, like I don't like, come on, like what are you like? I had to be like a personality thing because I was just like come on, like my degrees, motherfuckers, my degrees. Like what are you doing? You're like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2:That's exactly what. That's exactly how I'm like it's a problem.
Speaker 1:I don't give a fuck about math in this situation.
Speaker 2:But apparently, apparently, in my interview I gave, they said that people were given like the correct answers and I was just answering the questions Correct And I was like, wait, how does I say, how does that work? They said, well, you know how there's a way to answer me interviews for you, for people that confidence that I think that's just what it is, and she was like she said they kind of pause, and answered it.
Speaker 2:And there was like as for you, you just went out, you just went out, right, and answered it. I was like yeah, so this is how I would do it, like you weren't, you weren't hesitating, you just just like boom, boom, boom, just. And she was like I think that kind of bothered some people because it came off like you were very confident or I was like I said so you want me to sit there, pause and then answer a question Like how does that sound Like?
Speaker 1:interviews, interviews, interviews, interviews are like the worst fucking thing That has to be revamped. Of course I'm going to give you my best so, and sometimes I might not even give you my best so, but I am better for the job. Like it's weird, like every all this pressure for this one, for this one interaction, for this one thing, and it's just kind of like right.
Speaker 1:I even got her. I don't. And then some people that have a good interview they shitty people. Some people that was nervous on the interview They're actually good people. It's just you never know what you're going to get. Hey man, look I'm telling you when I don't want to be in management. You just did. I do not.
Speaker 2:I just was like you know what? Like I got in the interview and they were like so we'll make us make you to. When he asked me what would make me the best carry for you, i said because I'm already in this industry. It was like, well, can you elaborate more? I said because, so you know, you guys are on a call, you do this, you do this and this is the industry I come from. So I could get a phone call in the middle of this interview right now and I have to report to the warehouse in an hour and 30 minutes. It doesn't matter what the situation is is, i'm required to be there because there's someone in need that needs me And I feel like this is what you guys are looking for. That was my whole pitch. Fuck that. I couldn't answer some of the questions because I was like I don't know what procurement is. But this is what we did. It was a blase, blase this, that that. Whatever You do know what procurement?
Speaker 1:is I know what procurement is I never.
Speaker 2:I didn't. They said they wanted me to. They wanted to know if I had their procurement at a government level. So not only was I not really qualified for the job, but I had to use non-government experience to do this. But somehow or another, i snuck in there. Well, we know, i snuck in there because my supervisor was like yeah, you fit better in the unit because you knew what I knew. You'd be more reliable than some of these other people.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:It was like oh all right, cool. And then he was like a lot of them didn't come from where you came from. They just like most of them people on that first day when they found out that it's time to go and they weren't getting home till 12 o'clock, they would have probably quit that same day. That's me, that is me.
Speaker 1:What are you doing, this shit?
Speaker 2:He was like he's like I'm glad you didn't quit. I said I ain't really got no choice. I ain't had nowhere else to go.
Speaker 1:I was like yo, i can't quit. I got a son, i can't do nothing.
Speaker 2:Like one more time my wife, you know, they had me there too long. I said man, fuck that.
Speaker 1:I was like get your fucking job back.
Speaker 2:You know what? You won't be at that goddamn warehouse. Go listen to what she was told me this. But at the end of the day it would like even my wife would tell you. like you know, it's a good career move. Yeah, you might not be making the money you want to make, but you got to start somewhere And at least you're starting in the avenue where you're doing logistics and finance. So you have to pass versus your path.
Speaker 1:That is definitely a good career move because you can and it's in the government You can go so many places just based off of your degree and your experience. It's very few people that I've met or that I or that I do know that they experienced, they're like one in a, they're invaluable because of the type of experience that they have, and then you can kind of just put them anywhere within a field, like my wife has skills like that, but she don't want to use those skills. So what are you? those skills? no more. So it's kind of like yo, you could be placed anywhere in this whole field that you, that you're in and you can make a lot of money. She's like I don't want to do this shit. I'm like, yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I understand. I know my wife's looking for a new job, So I mean, you know she doesn't know.
Speaker 1:it's new job season. Mom's looking for a new job. Yeah, i think everybody's looking for a new job. Like it's not even that it's hard, all the. it's just that people are shitty, like the employers have been shitty over the last couple years, like last year and a half, over the last year and a half.
Speaker 2:I just got to my job and I'm looking for a new job. No, no, you're not, are you really? Yeah, look. So like I told, like I told my wife, i said, look, i mean, it's one thing, if I got into the government at 27, 10 years ago, i would have the patience to move up and everything else. I'm 30, 37, i'd be 38.
Speaker 1:And I'm like you, buddy, you're so two whole years.
Speaker 2:At this point I got to, I'm gonna have to accelerate this moving up. So I got to do my year, two years, and start Boom. It's time to start moving and finding more money. Like I got to, I got to start making my jumps versus trying to settle in and hunker down and move up slowly. Like you know, by the time my 10 years hit for the state to be vested. I don't want to be just making it to 55.
Speaker 2:You know, I got you I want to be, at least you know, at least matching my wife and like the upper half of 60, 70, you know so yeah.
Speaker 2:So just in case, 10 years hits and I'm like you know what, i'm tired of being at the state. I'm ready to roll, i'm vested there. So that means I get that pension and I can go somewhere else and finish off my time and retire and get my steep pension plus whatever pension I get somewhere else. Like it's one of those things where it's like I want to make sure I set myself up so that when it's time to retire, i can retire, get my pension. And then, you know, if my wife's like I'm retiring too and I'm gonna go ahead and get me a little, this little part time thing taking the IDs at a little desk or something, then I can be like you know I'm gonna do something real slight. You know what I'm saying. You know look at IDs or you know, be a cashier, staples or something you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:I ain't doing no, fucking no.
Speaker 2:It'll be like a little fall out my day Listen to have something to wake up, to go and do and then come home here.
Speaker 1:I feel like I'm gonna be I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna be doing. I feel like I'm always be working for her, for her, but I refuse for the hard work that I put in. I'm not saying. I'm not saying anything's wrong with what you said. I don't want to deal with the public, not in no way. I don't even deal with the public now. You just got finished complaining about not too long ago, about you being at the bar. You got your hoodie. You want to shit niggas talking to you. I don't even want to talk to them if it's my job. So no, i want to sit behind a desk and be retired, like I'm just waiting, like, nah, i'm retired, i'm done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i know for sure, Because you know, i don't know, i'll coach basketball for free at that point?
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I don't know, what I would do I don't know if we record it then on that day, but like the lady retired at my job, i tell you, the lady retired at my job on like Friday, not this past Friday, but like her, she retired on a Friday couple months ago And then we found out she passed away that same night. Oh no, and I was like yo. I was like yo, like you, retire you finally, get you finally retire. I think she had just hit retirement is probably like 65, 66. Like literally the day she retired she did her exit interview. We saw her in the L. She's like I'm going to my exit video. You know if I don't see you when I'm leaving out. It was good. No, yeah, i said I only, and I had only known her for like a month and a half, two months. I hadn't known her that long.
Speaker 1:And that is so fucking sad.
Speaker 2:Maybe three months or so, but it was like literally saw on that Friday I come in, that Monday in my supervisor comes, like you remember vows, yeah, yeah, she passed away. I said she just left the building like Friday's, like yeah, she passed away that night. Like what, how do you retire? You have like two, three drinks, retire, have your little party at your house and all of a sudden you just die.
Speaker 1:Like I will break my heart. I mean if I was breaking my heart now.
Speaker 2:I was like yo. it's like, you know, like I told one of the guys I said, you know, sometimes that's just people sometimes where they have a reason to get up every day, so they get up and they get up.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I don't know, that cannot have been her reason.
Speaker 2:I'm not. That's not her real estate. People who have a reason to get up always get up. But as soon as you're like, finally, i will have to do this. It's almost like your body's like ah right.
Speaker 1:So listen, you know how many other things are I P to the young lady, but you know the things that I want to do besides work. trust and believe him, i ain't have to fucking work. There is still a bunch of things that I'm still not going to be able to get to do because I'm going to be doing a bunch of other things like, right, yeah, i'm not. I'm not gonna say I okay, i can say this. I feel like I have, i found purpose in my life, so there's not going to be a oh, you retired, you're just doing nothing. I just can't. There's so many things I want to take up and there's so many things I want to do, but just hearing that, like that night of that shit is uh, yeah, that shit is heartbreaking.
Speaker 2:And like was retired, all of what? a couple hours, couple hours, yeah. Like I think she, her, her, she got off at about four o'clock. They said that she like went to her room at like around 10, 11 o'clock, so all of maybe six to eight hours of being retired and then like yeah, it's crazy, that's, that's, uh, that's it.
Speaker 1:It's shit like that, like when I hear about stuff like that and then I hear about people you know being in shitty jobs, like someone saying they quit their job on their first day because they receive no training or oversight, like you know like 15 hours on their first day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i kind of probably would have quit that week if that. If I'm like yo, is this the norm? Like, yep, you never know. I'm like, all right, i figure some shit out, but I understand why you, you know, you're there and shit like that. That's just me. When I hear shit like that, like, or you know somebody, somebody getting fired because they uh, because they boss refuses to, uh, you know, because they boss uh, they boss fires them because they refuse to come on Monday from from vacation, right, shit like that, i'm just like yeah now you can have that shit.
Speaker 1:And that's why sometimes, like with the the earlier article that was uh I was telling you about like, if you got a good work life balance, don't fuck that up for money And I'm not saying don't try to, you know, get the money that you earn or you deserve to put your family in the in a better situation.
Speaker 1:But sometimes you just it's tricky, you just don't know. You just don't know, like my mom's in a situation like that, trying to move up and stuff like that, and her situation is. Some people will say it's probably like a cakewalk, but it's more or less. It's frustrating and shit too, right, um, like um, she goes to work but her boss or director, quote unquote uh, for lack of better words, let's just say she's a uh, lazy and incompetent And she's doing the thing where she's just barely doing the bare minimum to keep her job.
Speaker 1:So when you're the boss that does that and then you're trying to lead your flocking shit you're only leading them to. You know, you're not even leading them, you're just only giving them a certain amount of information or tasks that you know how to do or don't know how to do, so nothing's getting done, right? So it'd be times where she would like yo, i was just at work and I did what I had to do And I was bored for like six hours And I'm like you did everything you had to do in two hours. But she was like well, i know it was more to be done, but no one's training me on the stuff And she's been there for about two years And I'm like so she's, she's, she's searching for another goddamn job. She was searching for a job since she got there.
Speaker 1:Hey, sometimes you have to since she got there and it's been two years And you know like well, you know parents and shit like that. When you get a certain age, sometimes the organizations don't be one to hire you because they like, look, you're getting closer to retirement, how long you really going to be here? This, this now, blah, blah, blah. So she trying to find something. The same, you know organization and shit like that. But I got lucky. I got I got so lucky to the where I'm at right now, even both trains where I'm like yo, i'm definitely gonna ride the part time as long as I can, but with the full time is like yo, i get a pension. I'm stacking up money in different type of investments account investment accounts. I just got to play it smart. I got to. I got to live within my means. Yeah, the moment I started living outside of my means, i put myself in harm's way.
Speaker 2:Where I can't be dependent.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean Finance, be independent.
Speaker 2:So you're right, i'm in the same boat That's gonna try and find more money. I mean, i know that the state for six months. So I'm out of probation. Now I can officially, you can start looking at shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely do that Shit. I'm looking to get to get up there, but I don't. I don't know if I want to leave. That's what I'm saying. It's just kind of like yo, with the combination of both things that I'm doing, like why would I, why would you leave? Yeah, i have to figure out. I have to figure out what's good for me. I got to figure out what's gonna be beneficial for my lifestyle. I got to make sure that I adhere to what's gonna be beneficial to my lifestyle, because the moment I jump out of pocket with that shit, then I'm gonna be like yo, i fucked up or I need more money, and it's just kind of like, yeah, it's like the, the second or third level to adulthood, like you reach some type of cruising altitude or you, you know you kind of reach where you at like, how do I maintain this?
Speaker 1:How do I not fuck everything up? Like I believe, like in your early 20s or whatever, you got to at least fuck your money up at least three or four times. So you know not to do it on what, not to you know, fall into the traps of doing that shit. I fucked my money up so many times in my 20s And I'm talking about just like bullshit, like, oh shit, i spent $200 on one supposed to buy shit like that. Like you got to learn, you got to learn how to come back from that.
Speaker 2:I do that all the time.
Speaker 1:You do that all the time, or you've done that.
Speaker 2:I do that all the time where I just be like all right man, shit, i just spent $200. I just got to make it work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, fuck, yeah, like I. um, that's it, yo, it scares me to go backwards, so it's scary to me enough to go backwards. It scares me so much that I'm just like yo, it's. Let's put it this way. It scares me straight. Let's just put it that way, cause it be times I'll be like you know what? I think I might want to give me a Porsche, like I've been thinking like shit, like that. I've been like, uh, you might could afford the Porsche, but is that wise? Is that why I was like nah, it's not, because a new model come out every year. You know how crazy that is when it comes to like cars and shit. A new model come out every year and it doesn't matter when you get yours, because yours is going to be old next year.
Speaker 2:Right, it's not going to be fresh and new, no more.
Speaker 1:Exactly So. it's just kind of like oh, i can wait on all this shit for real, for all it is. It's just stuff that you can wait on because they do a new one each year. Now, if they was just like this is going to be a one of one, or 50 or 50, then you might be like you know what, ain't nobody going to have this shit. It's going to be a 50 or 50.
Speaker 2:Right, it is something limited to this year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly. But yeah, man, that I uh, i got lucky and I know I got lucky and I thought I thanked the man above each and every time, because I'm like that type of grinding I was doing when I was going like two hours back and from to like to work and shit for like four years, but just for me to look, i had a I had I had talked about this before like I chose experience before money. Like two jobs was all for me. One one was all for me like $15,000 more, and another one was offering you know this where I was at And I'm like, but I'm gonna learn more here And I stayed and I still had to stay in the house with my mom because I chose to stay.
Speaker 1:And it was at times I was like yo, i can't bring no fucking girls over. I was I'm like I want to get pussy like I was supposed to be getting. I'm like why I think I made the wrong choice. I think I made the wrong choice, but you know I ain't making the wrong choice. I chose fucking experience over money and I couldn't be getting pussy like like one, and I would have been out the house, right, but I'm glad I didn't.
Speaker 1:I'm glad I didn't.
Speaker 2:You got. You got to do what's best for you.
Speaker 1:Hell yeah, how long would you stay at a shitty job? Is it just up until you find a new one?
Speaker 2:I've been talking about a new one. Yeah, have you ever felt?
Speaker 1:like have you ever felt like it was so shitty, You like your own quitting tomorrow? Nah.
Speaker 2:I drive it. Look as long as my checks clear, it ain't too bad. No, I got you, But it can be bad As long as my checks are clear. I ain't really trippin' too much, But I will leave a job if I find a new one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do. Yeah, shit. Back when I was young it was always a fomo for me Like I was working, i was working hard when Motherfuckers was not working hard. And when I say I don't mean that in a slide or anything like that, Like they was living their life. It was 18, 19,. You know, going to the club, you know getting bitches, pregnant.
Speaker 1:Wow, you know they was doing shit like that I'm just like I'll hear a working in going to fucking school, but I thought I was missing out on shit. And now I'm like I ain't missing out on shit because I don't think I would trade this for anything. And if you were traded for, you know, more money I'm not going to lie. You're traded to hit $200 million on the Powerball. Yes, you would. But you get what I mean. Like the experience I had to work, like the experience and all this other shit. I ain't sure If we won that lottery for $1.6 billion like somebody was like would you even come to work?
Speaker 2:I said, yeah, of course I would come to work. I'm not fucking coming to work, but you know what? No.
Speaker 1:Like I told you, i would come to work but I would have a whole lot of money.
Speaker 2:Like I told you, i would come to work but I would have a whole ain't shit. Trust me out attitude I'm not listening.
Speaker 1:Listen, listen, listen. These are the times where you just need to plan. We talked about this. You plan right away. Now it's dependent on the amount of money. Yeah, i'll probably still be working We talked about that.
Speaker 1:But if it's one point whatever and they taking the taxes out, so you probably being left with like half a billion dollars or 700 million, there is no coming to work. They gonna be like yo, that motherfucker bought a castle in fucking England and he's gone, like that's the rumors, like nah, man, listen, the fact that I won the money, whatever have you, and I ain't earned it. I always told myself like if I earn the money, you gonna be hard pressed to get the money from me, but if I won it, at my closest circle everybody I fuck with is getting money And my circle so small that I don't even give a fuck about the money that I'm giving. It's kind of like yo, you get two mil, you get two mil, you get two mil, you get two mil. And I know these are people that do right by the money and they'll, you know, propel their family forward. So it's just kind of like I don't even fuck about that.
Speaker 1:Do what y'all need to do And I'm gonna go out here and make some more money from that money and we gonna have celebrations at my house Damn, they're every holiday. That's what we gonna do. I put y'all in a situation where y'all can pay off a house, put some money for college, and if y'all y'all gotta do is work to maintain groceries and fucking utilities, hey, that's what I wanna. That's what I wanna have y'all at, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, i think I still would. I think, even if I did, when I live my job, like I said, already pay off all this shit.
Speaker 1:I still would go.
Speaker 2:I would be like, look, baby, you know we got moved, we gotta do this, we gotta do that. But I would hire but still go to work the next day. I ain't gonna work And still do my job, cause I'm like, well, i still need some money. No, this is no, now that I got this this is where.
Speaker 1:This is where that this is what I've been telling you is going to bite your ass. You don't know who's jealous of you.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, i don't have to say I wanted to stay anonymous in the state of Maryland. You can, yeah, the state of Maryland allows you to stay anonymous if you ever win.
Speaker 1:All right, i'll change everything I said. I'm not going to work, though, but yeah, if you, if you want, i'm not going.
Speaker 2:Now if we couldn't stay anonymous, like as soon as we get that money, we get in the hotel, out the state, i'm going to call my boss, say I ain't coming to work, i'm using my.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you like this I'm going to tell you like this, I'm taking out a second mortgage on something out the state anyway because the money's already coming in, Right, Fuck, all that shit I'm already preparing. I'm like yo we're going to go to. I'm going to tell wife of yo look, we're going to get this, We're going to get the expenses furniture going to go go to a restoration hardware's website and get that $4,000 couch I seen. Get them ugly ass scouts, You know, put them on the walls and shit like that.
Speaker 2:Like, yeah, the house with a gate in his own security system. Oh yeah, yeah, got ring ring cameras all over that place. Ain't nothing coming in without us knowing? Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, At the end, at the, at the end of the day, whenever I want to retire early, I don't want to wait to 60 or whatever have you? but I understand that I might not be able to, but I guess the best thing is just to live a healthy life. be law.
Speaker 2:I'm living.
Speaker 1:Look, i'm just saying man.
Speaker 2:Come on, man, I'm eating healthy. I had a bunch of vegetables today. I'm no longer taking any time over codeine, so now you know it's just antibiotics and probiotic Gotcha, you know.
