We dive into our personal growth journeys, exploring how our fashion choices, relationships, and mindset evolved over time. We discuss the value of staying true to our beliefs and morals and the importance of whiskey with guava juice. From conquering procrastination and taking the initiative at work (only when it counts) and transitioning that coveted "OG status"

Speaker 2:Look at the cat And my younger Definitely my younger years, yeah, my younger years. I used to do that, but I mean I didn't know nobody, you know, even though we had the internet and all that. So they go all in my lap And now I never looked it up. I didn't look. When I finally stopped doing that, it's when I finally looked it up and was like, oh, i could have been fucking myself up Could have been, I'm pretty sure you were, But maybe you weren't in by the, not even by the graces.
Speaker 1:But you know you fine, and you know here to drink another day. Yep, Yo, I had a, I had an ex-girlfriend at one point in time. Uh, you know this is. I know it's always something, I know it's always something. I know it's always something. I know it's always something, I know it's always something.
Speaker 1:But to get out of fucking, take your ownership, or something that she did, or how she's acting or how she was acting, she decided we had went I think we were just came back from Buffalo while we're in, So we was drinking, eating chicken you know the stereotype, typical thing that black people do to eat chicken and drink, Right, And I forget what happened. She decides to take a bunch of pills. I was thinking I was going to like, respond to it, which I don't think about it And, as I'm saying it out loud, I guess I probably should have. But I'm like yo at that point I ain't care, It's just like yo, like I know what you're doing And I don't even think you swallowed those goddamn pills.
Speaker 1:That's how toxic that relationship was. I'm like, what am I supposed to do? Oh no, please stay with me, There's this and that. No. An hour later she was back to lying and trying to get out of her acting toxic Right. As always, I was in my feelings when my emotions took over, But a lot of guys say, oh, my emotions took over.
Speaker 1:I couldn't control my emotions. Did that quickly that turns into a woman beater.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that would be a quick lead that turns into a womanizer.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. Like oh, i can't control my emotions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Before they get to nigga why you saw. Why you saw?
Speaker 1:Right, shout out to pharmaceuticals. I'm joking, i know. Shout out to pharmaceuticals. See a commercial about pharmaceuticals every fucking 10 seconds on TV, yeah, where you frolic and fields, jump and skip, hold your loved one in the bathtub and smile at the camera. That's what happens. That's what you want those commercials, not just that.
Speaker 2:The funniest part of those commercials is always After they tell you all the good shit can do for you Real quickly they see all the bad shit that will happen And it's always death.
Speaker 1:It's always death or stomach stuff, and I'm like yo come on man, or high heart rate type shit, and I'm like come on. If you are pregnant, it could cause this, this and this Everything is bad for pregnant women? Yeah, that's just what it is.
Speaker 2:If you're healthy, it can do this, this and this, and in some instances, cause death. And it's like well, how did I know all these drugs they have? to they get them tested. I remember, i told you back in the day I was going to try and be a drug tester.
Speaker 2:So I'm like, if that's what I was going to do, right, and I'm in there testing the drug and all of a sudden The next person in the next bed dies. I'm, what would that be? how did it decide? Like, oh, and some instances cause death. Is that how they figure it out? Like, how do you know it caused death if no one died at the?
Speaker 1:trial? No, someone dies. My whole thing is Very random. My whole thing is did they die because the shit is poisonous Or did it cause certain things to happen? Did it cause all those things to happen that you just named in death? Like what if you had diarrhea? and one of those things is diarrhea, but you had diarrhea so bad that you literally dehydrated yourself and died, like at that point you was just shitting out water, right?
Speaker 2:Wow, that's scary. I'll be in you and you're just every five seven every every five is just flushing you. Just pissing from your ass. I've had that happen.
Speaker 1:It's not Not cool, not cool. But uh yeah, man, pharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals Are you crazy? work week we then, man, i know it's been some type of foolishness, now know, how to staff me.
Speaker 2:Today, pretty much my boss is boss said ain't nobody doing a goddamn job I'm doing some of you got. I'm doing everybody's job. I need you to step up and do your job, or maybe you don't belong here, and that's. That's the short version, because it was supposed to be an hour long meeting but it was only like 13 minutes.
Speaker 1:Go back to your desk with the rest of the 45 minutes and think about what you didn't do and what you did do.
Speaker 2:Get out of my sight. That's what you wanted to say It was like oh yeah, anyone have any questions? You know, like regular workers, you said everything to say No, we ain't got no questions. Can we go to work now, right? And then she just was like all right, bye, all right. It was just you know, yeah, but it was hilarious. I was like I said, luckily I've gone through this before, so it's not anything new to me. It's like all right, you mad But you still knew.
Speaker 1:So it doesn't really it applies to you. But you know, you still kind of learn the ropes. Those are the niggas fault That's them. They ain't doing what they supposed to do. I'm doing what I'm told to do at this point because I'm still in probation, so I need to get it together.
Speaker 2:Like I told Mrs Smith, I only do what I'm told to do What I'm told. I don't know, i don't even. I learned from being in the first. You do not be ambitious and take initiative.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you saying all the wrong things. You saying all the wrong things. Hey, look what do you mean You just come on?
Speaker 2:man, you only take initiative. The things you know is your job. You don't just take initiative But like Oh, i know this needs to be done, let me do it. It ain't in the, in the frame, yeah you take right, right, right right.
Speaker 1:You take initiative in your lane, you stay in your lane. In your lane. If somebody is in charge of certain things. You don't go over there, Let them. Let them do their thing. Yeah, I got you.
Speaker 2:It's like there's like, if your job ain't to fill the paper and the printers and it's somebody else's job, you don't do that job with them. You stay in your lane. Let them stay in there and you do. I learned that the hard way when I got. When I got let go from the government for not being in my lane and taking initiative. Hold up.
Speaker 1:You got fired for that. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm sorry I heard you got let go because you wasn't taking initiative and standing in your lane.
Speaker 2:Because I was, You was taking initiative which wasn't standing in your lane.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, okay, from now on.
Speaker 2:I just do what I'm told. Is this how you show this What you need me to do? Yes, okay, here you go, right.
Speaker 1:Yo, that take listen. I know this sounds fucked up, right, so tell me if this is wrong.
Speaker 1:Like, currently, this, like that taking initiative, shit, i take initiative, am I? so how can I say this without switching on myself? All right, so, boom, i'm in IT. Right, i see is our department is split up between different teams. Sometimes it's a team of two, three, four, five, whatever people but they do different things within the IT space. Right, i deal with network and cybersecurity or that shit.
Speaker 1:So I noticed that one of my colleagues ain't not ain't, but one of my colleagues aren't taking the initiative and kind of just coasting by and doing whatever. So, on my head, i'm like, yo, this is me being me, because this is me trying to be an opportunistic person and, you know, gain skills and move up and shit like that. So I'm like yo, he's fucking up, i'm just going to shine. This is easy, this is a cakewalk. I ain't got to throw this man under the bus not that I ever would, but I ain't got to do none of that shit. I just have to do my job and give 101%, because this motherfucker is giving 98, 70, 50, 10 points. Yeah, 10 points. At times I'm like this is easy. So I've been doing that.
Speaker 2:You know, Friday is my 10% there.
Speaker 1:Oh no, I got 10% days. Don't get me wrong, Today wasn't even a Friday. Listen to Friday. Friday is like you should be wrapping up emails and sending certain things to kind of whatever, whatever, whatever. But if something pressing comes and you take care to press it stuff. But you suppose I kind of structure my week where hopefully that press stuff does not happen on a Friday, I ain't got time for that shit. I don't want to have to come. You know, think about it over the weekend, come to work Monday and be hard pressed on Monday. That's if you structure your week correctly, Right.
Speaker 2:I know Today was my worst day today. Come in, got the staff meeting. I didn't get to. We all got to. Y'all ain't shit. Do your goddamn job or go somewhere else. Then, while I'm talking to my boss and I'm like I'm in his office, i'm like, look, he's saying you know, blah, blah, blah, blah. I said so because I was. I was a minute late logging into the meeting. Even I was there five minutes earlier. I had to wait for my computer. But that's neither here nor there. That's your fault. I never said what, my fault. So my boss told me to me. He's like yeah, you know, you got to make sure you hear a little bit early. I said so do I get? are you giving me any paperwork for this? And he was like what do you mean? I said is this a write up? He was like no. I was like oh, all right.
Speaker 1:It was fucking getting triggered Like shit. I used to get rid of shit like this.
Speaker 2:Right For being one minute late. I used to get rid enough for this. So look, not even trigger, it was just like all right. So in my head I'm like all right, well, where's the paperwork? That's how I felt. All right, where's the paperwork outside. And then as soon as I'm in that meeting, he's like oh, an email just came in. I need you to dry the Lanham and pick this thing up for for everybody's boss. I was like all right, what time we got to be there? He said well, you need to be there at 10, 15.
Speaker 1:I was like oh, So I wasn't when he said that 9.25. God damn You leaving.
Speaker 2:Now I'm leaving now, right, you get there at 10, 15. I'm like, all right, that's cool. I'm like how long ago did y'all get this email? Oh, we got the email at 9.20. So you waited five minutes to tell me It is what it is Like. That's, that's the shit. Yeah, i get it. So then, you know, i tried out in Lanham, i tried back in Baltimore city. You know, because it's Baltimore city, the Lanham, lanham, baltimore city, i get in there. I'm like all right, cool. Then I get a phone call Hey, you got a package. So I got to go get the package. Go get my, go get these packages. Find out, half the package ain't even ours. Take the package back down there. Then I'm like, all right, let me take the car to take, take the vehicle to admissions. Get to admissions. They said, oh, that's the wrong license plate and vent number. I just wasted more time.
Speaker 1:When you, whenever you happen to you, do you be like man? let me stop past this place that used to be a.
Speaker 2:give me some of the Sometimes, not all the time but like because everything that happened today, i was like let me just come back, and but if it wasn't, i definitely would have stopped it. Wendy's got me some spicy chicken nuggets. I have a whole shit. But so I get back and I'm like all right. And I mean there's like oh yeah, did you scan this? Did you do this? Man? I literally just want to know. I have imagined this point only to. My set down at my desk was literally when I was at in the meeting. Other than that I didn't sit down at my desk. So I'm chatting with my wife during all this And she's like, oh yeah, i'm chilling, i'm reading, oh God. So I'm sitting there, i'm chatting with wife. She's like, oh yeah, i'm reading this, i'm doing this Cause she's working too, she's doing her thing, and I'm out here in the streets just, oh yeah, yeah, missions and you know murder.
Speaker 2:And so when I finally get to sit at my desk, she's like all right, well, i see you at home. bye, i was like God damn, i just got to my desk to be able to come to be talking to you.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna do the same shit. My wife hit me with the all right bye. I was like I wanted to talk some more, but all right Oh.
Speaker 2:I thought it was just me.
Speaker 1:I'm like No, I'll be that way, Like when she, when she, I'm like, oh okay, this is cool, I get to talk to her Like I've been kind of missing her on the low, And that's when she be quick with it. Oh, I just wanted to tell you that. But I'm like damn, I'm like how's your day going?
Speaker 2:I'm just gonna do the same, like she'll call me like. hey, i just wanted to tell you all right, cool. So how's your day going? Oh, i got to go by. I'm like damn.
Speaker 1:All right, i'm just here on YouTube looking at fucking cars stuff. you know that.
Speaker 2:Or she'll just say like all right, well, look, text it to me, because I got to go and the middle of something. All right, cool, at least I can still text you. But I'm like all right, that's fine. But you know, i'm sitting down. I mean like, literally, i just I had just got comfortable in my chair, stressed my fingers out there this type two word. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:She's like yep, I'm about to start packing up, I'm about to head out. Bye. So it's like damn, Like damn. I wasted a good finger stretch.
Speaker 1:Allerious.
Speaker 2:But I had talked to her all day So it was good to be able to talk to her and not have to like, look at my personal phone. I was looking at my you know, my work phone Yeah, chatting with her. So it felt good to do that, knowing that it was like if anyone was looking at me and they see I'm on my work phone, it's like oh hey, it's work related, versus I'm looking at my personal phone and like who the hell are you looking at?
Speaker 1:Listen, listen. a tip and a rule, because I am in IT Just make sure y'all keep y'all conversations a PG, not even PG 13.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm Just.
Speaker 1:PG Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I didn't put no eggplant emojis, no, nothing, no tongue.
Speaker 1:I mean that's still PG. But you get what I mean. like you know, no flipping bricks, no house P Chase talk no sex and none of that shit.
Speaker 2:No, no, no saying nigga.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that too.
Speaker 2:I think that would happen.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, man, you were saying that your boss said you need to be on time and stuff like that, right. So I had a similar incident today where I get to work and I get all the car at 827. I got to be there at 830, right. So I get there at 827. I now know that my clock was three minutes slow, didn't know that. But so I'm there, i'm chilling, i do my thing, i put my stuff in my, i put my lunch in the refrigerator, you know doing my morning routine, talking to people, shit like that And I'm listening to. I'm watching something on YouTube but also trying to configure something, right. And I hear out the like out of my what do you call it? peripheral? not out of your peripheral, but you hear, i hear in the distance. You hear the.
Speaker 1:you hear the you hear, the you hear the yeah, the director coming around saying talking to my colleague saying hey, i was looking for you this morning, were you, were you here at 830? Like I heard something like that, but I'm thinking he just wanted to see about something, so I'm not really paying attention, so I don't know what my colleague said to him. And then he comes around to me and asks the same thing. And I'm like he was like I was looking for you earlier, were you here at 830? I was like yeah. He was like are you sure? I'm like yeah. He said well, i didn't see you. He said were you hiding? I'm like no, and he's like oh, and then walks off and I'm out of my head. I'm like I got time for this shit today. Fuckin' Friday, fuck of three day weekend, juneteenth. Why you? why you was out here, I'm like.
Speaker 1:I'm here right now I ain't think shit of it.
Speaker 1:I'm like yo, so I wait till he going to his office and shit. I talk to my coworker. I'm like yo, just the one I was saying that he don't be given. you know, he, he, he, he coasting, which is fine, like man, it is what it is. I'm the one that's doing above and beyond shit, because I'm trying to get to a certain point. This motherfucker got a sad business, him and his wife, where they make him bread Like he's making bread on top of bread. So it's just kind of like.
Speaker 2:I get it. You don't need the money like that.
Speaker 1:No, so I get it. So it was like that's what I said. It's not a real situation where it's like, oh, you doing certain things, the you know he's doing it to himself. I'm just capitalized. So I asked him I'm like yo, what did he talk to you about? Cause I didn't really didn't understand what was going on. So he was talking and shit, he was like, yeah, man, that shit just pissed me off And, um, i don't use it. You see, he was like you, not pissed off. I'm like, nah, cause I, i was, i was in the parking lot at 830.
Speaker 1:I was like, if it took me to walk upstairs and it was 832 or 833, and he missed me, oh the fuck will. Like I don't give a fuck And I know that's kind of and that's the director. And he was like what should we tell our manager? just to give him a heads up, i say you can, but me personally, me personally, cause I'm not trying to say what time did you come in, i don't care, because I was here at 830. Now, if I go use the bathroom, if I go talk to somebody, and you don't see me at my desk, oh well, I don't have. It's not a, i don't have a job where I have to be at my desk to start doing something right away at 830. That's the reason why I can tell the work. So it's kind of like come on now. So I'm like my fuck was on this shit, like. But at the same time I'm like I ain't bothered about this shit. It's Friday and I'm and I'm sleepy because I just went to bed late, right, i ain't you know. I'm like that's like what we were talking about last week, like I don't know what's going on with employers right now or just people in charge, but it's just like the extra petty shit. Like I was looking for you earlier and it wasn't like it was 12 o'clock, it was nine o'clock, nine o'clock. So I didn't get there at nine o'clock, motherfucker. I got there like all right when my badge hit the damn things and get into the secure building. It must have been 832. So if you want it cause I heard that he checked stuff like that You want to go do all that with? well, i can't say who the building we in. But if you want to go, do all that with the people that quote unquote managed to build and go ahead. But I know that motherfucker can't Damn, damn The other guy, cause he was pissed and the crazy thing is he's the crazy thing.
Speaker 1:This is why I say he does it to himself. So all that happened And I know that sometimes he don't be um, what is the word? He don't be where he say he's going to be yet So he tells me he's like man. I'm just so pissed off And I'm like, yeah, i get it. I gave him some words of encouragement. I'm like yo, like it is what it is. Like people going to be who they going to be. You can't be mad at the people for being who they want to be, cause that's them You can only control. You know how you, how you react to that shit. That's you. You can only control. You can only control you. That's, that's, that's all on you.
Speaker 1:At that point I was like I don't, i'm not that way anymore, i don't. You know I get mad. Yeah, but I'm like it's going to take a lot because at the, at the end of the day, i just don't care. Like the job is. The job is not my life, the job is something in my life. Some people make the job they like and that motherfucker makes the job is like the director. I'm like that's not me Once I leave this motherfucker. I got people to take. You know that, look up to me take. I got people to try to take. You know help, take care of or you know make sure they straighten stuff like that. I got other dreams, aspirations, shit on Bobby. So we got to get to a thousand subscribers.
Speaker 2:So we can make money on YouTube. Something like that too.
Speaker 1:Something like that too, so he goes and says you know I'm not going to be mad at the guy. He goes and say I'm heading out. This is like it was like 11. At this point I'm heading out. If they ask, say um, uh, tell them. Uh. If anybody asked, say I'm going to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This motherfucker ain't come back. For the whole day I was like he, the motherfucker, does it to himself. And then our manager came in and then, right, it gets crazier. Our manager comes in and he acts like yo, um, like he's leaving, he's going back home and shit like that. He's like yo, have you seen? uh, so-and-so, and I'm like. He said he was wanting to be he. He went to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, thanks, have a good weekend. Happy Father's Day, my happy Father's Day to you too. And that's what people. You know how that shit go. I, you could tell them. I could tell them I'm not a dad or whatever, till I'm blue in the face, but they'll still say shit like happy Father's Day which.
Speaker 1:I don't mind, but he's, he's a, you know, he's a new, uh, grand granddad and shit like that. So I'm like, oh, this nigga's going to get it, you're going to get in trouble, because there's no reason for my manager to come in unless my director called him in and was like yo, i checked something. This motherfucker wasn't in where he was supposed to be at this time West, i don't know. You know what I mean, cause it's kind of like yo, i, if I'm in here at eight 30, you don't know, you know. I know I stand. You know I ain't got a.
Speaker 2:You know right, he probably did everything you said that he should go, do He probably went and did that.
Speaker 2:And then went the fuck home And was like, oh, he did get here at eight 32. So, uh, okay, The other nigga he was like, that nigga got here at nine o'clock. Yeah, You know what I would have said to the dude? I'd have been like, when they came around and be like, oh yeah, um, you know, were you here at eight 30? Well, yeah, I probably went to the bathroom, but what did you need? Cause you said you were looking for me.
Speaker 1:I'm not even doing. Listen, i'm not. That's not me, i'm not even doing all that. It's one of those things where it's like there's so many variables That I'm not even about to get into the whole mix of that. I'm here at eight 30, but I'm not sitting down. I could have been working on something. I could have went across the hall to help the people over there. I could have went upstairs. I could have went downstairs. I could have been taking the shit. I could have been taking the piss, i could have been making my coffee, and only two of those things I did was make my coffee, take a piss and put my stuff in the refrigerator. Not in that order, but you know, i did those things. So even if you didn't see me at eight 30 at my desk or eight 32, chances I was walking in the door.
Speaker 1:But at the end of the day I think he lied. I don't think he actually walked around to see if I was there. I just think he knows that the other motherfuckers will be late, and maybe sometimes I'm late. I think he's checking the badge scans or the entries or whatever. Like his motherfucker come late sometimes, which I do, but I don't have to let him know that I'm late. I have to let my manager know I'm late. Stupid, that motherfucker is my buffer between the director. He's overstepping and micromanaging all the way down. Like I have a supervisor and a manager, i just have to let my supervisor know. Like yo, they'll wait back up. I'm gonna be there in 15 minutes. That's always cool. They just want to know what was going on. And the bell way you know where I'm coming from. The bell ways always fucking back up, no matter what time.
Speaker 2:I leave.
Speaker 1:So, and don't let it be an accident.
Speaker 2:Well, shit.
Speaker 1:So we'll see you on Tuesday. with the fuck happens to him, that shit gonna be tough. That shit gonna be tough, tough, tough.
Speaker 2:I don't know what's going on with these man. It's almost like they be like man. I don't give a fuck about nothing, dude. We just didn't complain about everything. When the press get put on, i don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 1:But I've been told that our director is just he. That's, that's how that motherfucker operates, which is Like I said, like like I was telling my coworker I'm like yo. If we, if me and you both collectively know, everyone knows that he's like that, there's no point in getting mad. That's just how the motherfucker is. I can't change that.
Speaker 2:It sounds like you were more of a casualty.
Speaker 1:Who me.
Speaker 1:Because, that's when I met work. I am always a casualty because I just listen. Like I told you last week, i go to work, do my job And that is it. That's how I'm able to function, because I'm like yo, i'm coming here to do what I'm supposed to do, right, i'm making your money, i'm getting my cut of me making your money. I'm cool with that. I handle my shit outside of now. The shit outside of workers, would you know, would troubles me, like the side businesses or whatever have you, but it's work. I mean shit. Y'all are telling me to do something. I do it.
Speaker 2:You know legal and you know morally correct, like I ain't that big of a deal, yeah, that big of a deal I mean, i'm really not saying you were casualty is only because you know you might have one directors where it's like all right, i'm pending, i'm pinpointing this person, but I don't want them to pinpoint him. So I'm going to add four or five other people. Right, where were you at a 30? I was looking for you.
Speaker 1:Like here's the shitty part about that on this particular Friday, like because of how our schedule was structured, there's only three people in the goddamn office And most of the time he not even in office, so it was me and him, and I never see Michael worker as me and him admin lady and maybe another admin lady, and that's about it. Just because it's structured, where people got what? three days, one day, one week, two days, another week in the office. So this week happens to be the day I mean. This day just happens to be where everybody started to have this Friday off. I have my next Friday at telework, but not this one. So even if I was a casualty, it is a stupid casualty. It's only me and him. So I don't. I didn't see, i saw it as being picked with. So, and the crazy thing is, i came in with one of the admin ladies. Her ass wasn't at the front desk, i'm just saying I'm not. You know, it's weird shit like that, that's that.
Speaker 2:It sounds like you were more of a casualty than it actually being, that you weren't where you supposed to be at.
Speaker 1:To me, that's what it sounds like. I got you. I was selling one of my, one of my another homie about this shit. I'm like I don't have a job where I have to be sitting down. Like that's the hiz thing, like when I be doing my little, i tell you I'll be doing like little walks like around the campus and shit like that, like 45 minutes to lose this shit, but no, it takes me to Luba twice to be 45 minutes. So I get like maybe like 8000 steps out of that bitch.
Speaker 1:So I'm like yo, if I'm able to do that and answer emails, make a phone call and this, this and that, do I really need to be sitting my ass down? Fuck, no, and I'm not going to sit my ass down. If it's nice outside, like come on. Like that doesn't make any sense. Now, if you want to tell me there's a rule, i need to sit down in my office and answer emails and do certain things, then we won't have to talk about some shit. Right, i'm not doing that. What's the point of you giving me a phone?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not as you say. Yeah, I just say it like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's just like saying what's the point of them giving you a phone Like you're answering emails, you're doing teams calls and stuff like that, or whenever they need to do something. Well, your situation is different too, because you actually have to go out into the field and shit like that. But I have to do that too, but it's not an everyday thing. Your shit might be like an everyday thing because of certain tasks, right?
Speaker 2:It just depends on what we're doing. So we go into the field but I do a lot of preparation going into. I do a lot of preparation to get ready to go into the field.
Speaker 1:Based off of what's going on in the world.
Speaker 2:Like the whole immigrant situation, of them about to ship them to Maryland and everything. Yeah, we're preparing for that. So it's like all right, well, it's my job, i got to do it. So I do up and just say, well, man, fucking, i ain't doing this shit, fuck this goddamn job. But I mean like a lot of it's just preparing, like it's a lot of just being prepared, because, especially in a, in a emergency operation, emergency operations like this, you if you're not prepared, you're going to be asked out. And if you and when you're asked out, you might get fired, you might get, you will. You will get fired.
Speaker 2:Like that way you not getting fired, like if you, if you somehow, like I might, could swing not getting fired because of how new I am.
Speaker 1:But in theory Somebody getting fired if they don't fire if they can't fire you, then some are getting fired.
Speaker 2:Oh no, they definitely can fire me.
Speaker 1:No, i mean like, let's just say, if it was a situation that was like, well, you wouldn't have known better, they should have known better.
Speaker 2:Right, they getting fired, they get right, right, right, yeah, like I would have to do something. I would have to do like the dumbest thing possible for like my, because, even though my probation is up, i would. I would have to do something kind of really dumb, like not even that, we're short staff and I never go into my situations like, oh man, we short staff, they need my ass Because, at the end of the day, just as quickly as they hired me, they could be like, oh well, sorry, d lost time for you to go, like you are a whole fuck up and we can't use you like Right, and just just like that, they can hire somebody else just as quickly as they could. Let me go.
Speaker 2:So I don't even play that game with them, but I just try to make sure that everything that they ever asked I just be like All right, yeah, nope, it's done. Hey, nope, this is done, and so that way we don't update. My boss never had to say, well, you didn't have this done And so therefore I got to write you up, or I got to do this or I got to do that, and blah, blah, blah, blah. So I don't do none of that, i just make sure that shit's done, right, right.
Speaker 1:And that's the way it should be. That's the way it should be. So I was like my counterpart I don't know, man, that ain't me. It's just one of those things, like I said before, i see opportunity to shine And it's not really hard. He's making sure that I'm able to shine, right like that's just what it is. I'm like that's not right.
Speaker 1:He just don't want to be great. Now here's the thing He don't have to be great. See, that's just one aspect of his life, which is he has this job. But if he's able to make a bunch of money outside of his job, where he's pulling in money I mean, you think about it you will probably treat it. I wouldn't treat it the way he's treating it. I'll be where I need to be, But I'll be damn damn sure doing the bare minimum Like this is not my life, But it's happened to have this job. I'm just going to do my job. There is no above and beyond. If I got another business pulling in way more money than I'm doing, you know that I'm making a pair.
Speaker 1:There's no way. There's no way. You're going to get everything. You're going to get 100%. There's no 110. No 15, 120, 100%. And what's wrong with that? Y'all hired me for 100%. Y'all paying me for 100%. We never get paid for 110. Right? So, that's how I see it. But I'm just saying, like he's, that whole situation. It's a very sloppy situation. He knows better, he'll grown as man.
Speaker 2:Well, now he definitely knows better.
Speaker 1:He should have came back to fucking work. So I just hope that he had enough stuff to do out there, like in the field where he just didn't come back to work, because he only told me one spot that he was going to. That motherfucker was gone all day. Was he on call? I mean, what do you mean on call?
Speaker 2:Like was he on call? Like he um? like was he on call, was he?
Speaker 1:No, he ain't fucking gonna be on call No No. That's all, yo, that's, that's, that's, that's just on him. This one I was uh, I was thinking a lot about a conversation last week like the um, like about um part, just one part of the conversation, when you talk about your wisdom teeth and the drinking and stuff like that And I was thinking I was like yo, uh, i think I think we are transitioning, i think this is the transition into OG status.
Speaker 2:Really It has to be the transition to the OG status non-deserts. It has to be now OG mean older guys or original gangster.
Speaker 1:Uh, I mean, I wasn't gang banging, so not not gangster, but just older guys older guys, OGs Yeah.
Speaker 1:I say you, og, when you got some knowledge and some and some shit behind you Right With uh, you can actually young guys can actually strive to actually either do what you're doing, uh, use your advice and you know, excel and shit like that. But I was like yo, i think. I think I'm here's why I was like yo, i think I'm, i'm, i'm close to that status, so I think I'm uh about to hit that next level. I uh I know it's very surface level, but uh, it started with me Noticing that I need new clothes. What?
Speaker 1:And when I say I need new clothes, the reason why I'm saying I need new clothes is like yo, these clothes ain't fitting right Like at all, like they not hanging right They will. Oh, not that I don't got money to get clothes, it's just like I just been like the. You know, the pandemic had me and it is what it is. I wasn't leaving the house, so I ain't leave the house for like a year and a half, And then I just started leaving the house. So let's just say, three years. I was 30, i don't say my age.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I say my age, like 33, 32. Yeah, you definitely said your age, but it doesn't matter. Yeah, i was 33, 32. And I'm like yo, like I need new clothes. The shit ain't fitting right. And then I started looking at the clothes that I got. I'm like I got T-shirts with Spider-Man on them, like you know, polos that don't got nothing on them, they just like regular ass. And I'm not knocking you because I got a red polo just like that, but you get what I mean. Just like.
Speaker 2:I got, I got basic stuff.
Speaker 1:And I'm like yo. I always told myself like it, but the clothes do not fit my age, it don't fit my mindset right now. So I'm like yo and always told myself I do not want to be one of them goofy ass older men that be wearing young shit And they don't look like they should be wearing young shit. I also don't want to be the one of them goofy ass older men that just figured like oh, that's why I seen my great, great uncle wear. I'm aware that shit, too, there is in between. You're right, yeah, and I've been and I've been looking for that shit. That's in between and I found me a nice selection that's in between, as far as like summer clothes and shit like that, because I need a whole new summer wardrobe. Like I tell you, when I said it, when I said this shit was crazy, when I was pulling all my summer clothes, i'm like what the fuck is this? A lot of shit went to a Salvation Arm. I'm getting taxed right now.
Speaker 2:Of course, because you're supposed to take when you do shit like that you supposed to go to the motherfucking chain. Donate, take that receipt, write that shit off on the.
Speaker 1:T-axis? Yeah, most definitely Like. I was like yo, this is not a, this is not the move anymore. So yeah, i was just thinking. I was thinking about that late and also thought about that whole conversation you had we had when you were saying that your wife was like you don't be wearing nice clothes and shit. And I was like, damn, do my wife be thinking that shit Like around the house and shit. I was like you should not have to wear nice clothes around the house. But she was like yo, i don't want to see you in your sweatpants all the time. It's even worse for me because I'm just in fucking boxer. Sometimes I'm just in a robe just walking around with fucking slippers on and shit. But I'm like yo, i need to have nice little pieces and shit And I'm like I'm too old for this shit And my mindset not even my mindset anymore. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I've been, you know I get up and get dressed. Now, you know, you know, if it's like, hey, you know it's like I'm gonna put my jeans on if I see her all dressed up, oh, why are you looking like that? He lying?
Speaker 1:He lying You're talking about this.
Speaker 2:Oh my Lord, I have been clean-cutted way more than normal.
Speaker 1:I think that's true, because the last couple of times I've seen you, yeah, You're welcome.
Speaker 2:You know I've been taking heed to my wife's advice on things and not just leaving to my own devices. I got you So I no longer look like Wolverine all the time, according to her, like a homeless man, as she says, so I've gotten better. Yeah, apparently. You know these are things I have to do to make sure that my wife still likes me most days and she wants to be seen out in public with me.
Speaker 1:Listen, i know this sounds fucked up. I don't give a fuck about what my wife think about that shit. She married me. It is what it is. I started feeling like yo because I used to clown those older guys. I'm like nigga, don't be the motherfucker you used to clown, so change your shit up. You already changed your mentality. I've changed the way you present yourself. Change the way you think about things and shit like that. I was like, oh shit, i'm already doing that. I'm like, oh shit, i'm on, i'm about to be on and the code and about a couple years, that's who I will be to. Like a 20 year old.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You're going to be a 20 year old in a couple years. Oh, don't say that exactly. So my whole thing is, if they looking up to me or they asking me questions, fuck, i'm going to look the part, not to say I'm looking like, like I said, it's a middle ground. I feel like I found that right middle ground for me as far as like styling, shit like that and what I'm going to wear. So I was like, oh shit, i'm about to hit OG level, like here you talk about your like the dental work and shit like that. I was like, damn, i still need dental work. I don't know why I'm putting that shit off. It just made me want to double down on. You know, i think I talked to you about this before, like this year being about health, and you know, i mean, i mean.
Speaker 2:I think that's been the biggest shift in everything, especially for me and my wife has been our health. Like it's no longer like, all right, we young and invincible. It's like, all right, i need to go to the doctors because I'm feeling this type of pain and I don't think I should be feeling this type of pain right now, and you know stuff like that. So it's like we, we, we, we both, see it and we're like all right, let's make sure we're doing our parts, to make sure we're doing what's supposed to do so that we can still have our enjoyment with each other, versus us now at the end of the road, too young, and like, oh yeah, you know, i'm sorry, I should, i should have took care of myself.
Speaker 2:you know, all those years ago, but sorry, now I'm dying. You know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's what we're, that's what we're both, you know, currently. you know trying to avoid that at least, if, at least, if we're doing what we're supposed to do, then we won't have to worry about it, right? So you know what I'm saying. Like, at least, if we're doing just that bare minimum, then we're good.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So, Should at this point. I don't even want to do the for me personally. I don't even want to do the bare minimum. I'm like yo, i want to exceed the bare minimum, like you were saying. Like yo, you want to look like a Donner's Creed. I'm like shit. I want that shit too. Yeah, man, look, i kicked up the, i kicked up the, the workout regimen and shit like that. Like, oh no, that's I'm about. I ain't gonna say a Donner's Creed, but you get what I mean. Like, because that's a lot of agiation there to hold health. What is it called The growth hormone type of shit.
Speaker 2:So I ain't doing none of that.
Speaker 1:But yeah, man, like being fit and proving my parents and then grooming and shit like that, like.
Speaker 2:I reached that status.
Speaker 1:I reached that status. I never thought about that. What I enjoy, marriage now, Yeah, So that more money, So, yeah, my whole thing is like being able to provide, like you know what I mean. Like that's always when we my major thing like yo, can I provide? Can I, can I provide for myself? Can I make sure that I can do the things that I want to do? And in the early 20s I could not. I could not at all. Like the sex won't be there, of course, with your wife, the all that other stuff won't be there, But when it comes to how I have experiences and shit like that, that shit costs money.
Speaker 2:Oh, that should do cost money. It costs a lot of money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it costs a lot of money, and for the type of experiences that I want to have. Let me not let me not say that all experiences cause money, but there are key things that I want to do that.
Speaker 2:I can't do without money. You want to do, especially with your wife, that you want to do that.
Speaker 1:it costs money Like you can't if you've never experienced a cruise you know, fuck cruises, yeah, but I'm just saying, I'm just saying as in general like, if you never experienced a cruise.
Speaker 2:Then you got, you know in your younger days you could, you could have got away with it. But then I think a lot of it would have been like what I like, let's say. Let's say D was like, you know, let's all go to Miami, We all married and we go on a gastric. That's something I would do in my twenties married, but like I can do it now, but it's like I really don't want to. If I'm going to go to Miami, i'm trying. I'm trying to take my sand to the beach with me. You know what I'm saying. I want her there with me so I can see her bikini.
Speaker 1:See, you think you're thinking short. You're thinking short minded my brother, and this is the. This is the level of ascension that you got to reach with me So you could do it. Check this out. It wouldn't be Miami, though. We do Vegas, so it wouldn't be. You could do your gas trip, because there ain't nothing in Miami for us to do. We just got to find shit to do. So, of course, all the young guys go to Miami. You know pops and pussy. This isn't that like they, they, they do the young single or the you know the thought shit. But if you want to God trip, y'all grow men and got your you know shit going on. You want to have a God trip that have fun each and every time you go out without jeopardizing your marriage and worried about thought shit.
Speaker 2:So let's just say we go to Vegas.
Speaker 1:We catch a. We catch some G league games or the summer, the summer league stuff, or you know, the the nights just wanted to uh the Stanley cup for the first time. So we check in our stuff like that, we eating places, we, we, you know we doing all that shit. We driving exotic cars in the desert, that's what we doing. That's a fun fucking uh guys trip to me Driving Lamborghinis and shit like that in the desert and you know all that other fuck shit, fucking ATVs, and you know that's the shit that I would probably do The girls or the women's shit. That's just like some.
Speaker 1:You know, if you worried about that, then yeah don't go to Miami, you go someplace else, definitely not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i mean I'm not too worried, but I just, you know, like if I'm going to go on a trip, like I I enjoy going on trips with my wife, i mean, i mean I'm supposed to you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:I'm not, i'm not supposed to be like you. Better say you enjoy it.
Speaker 2:But I do, like when we, when we do go places, like when we, like when we went to Bahamas, it was enjoyable I was like, all right, i could, i could, i could get used to this. You know what I mean. It's one of the things where it's like, if I can't enjoy going somewhere with my wife, then what was the point of getting married? You know what I?
Speaker 1:mean No, no, no, i definitely agree with that, Yeah.
Speaker 2:But that's just me. I don't know how the guys feel about they wives and what else. You know how some of them feel.
Speaker 1:I know how some of them feel, but You know another reason why I'm like yo, my super saying transformation is happening. I'm like my personal development, like my mindset has changed, like even with the statement of like, oh yo, one guy going to Miami if it was a gastro, let's just do a bunch of shit that we like to do Like, just that alone. But as far as like like my personal development, like, like I think I finally conquered procrastination, like like it was starting to like clog up my mind to the point where, like, if I threw another task on top of, like the list, i ain't even want to look at the list Not, you know, not a physical list but like I ain't even want to, because it was just like, damn, i got all this shit to do. It was just kind of like yo, stop fucking around and just do it. Once it's done, it's done. Like, just don't throw no more shit on the fucking list, knock this shit out. You're going to feel better.
Speaker 1:I started doing that shit, like literally started doing that shit, like, look, it's going to be what it's going to be. You won't have to do it or suffer the consequences of not doing it, and I've plenty of times in my younger years suffer the consequences of not doing something And it might set me back two months, like money wise, or it might put me in a bad situation where it's, you know, taking me a while to dig myself out of, where I get embarrassed myself And it's just like, nah, i'm about handling the shit now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, no, it's definitely. yeah, that definitely comes with age. I mean, don't get wrong, like you get some people who are in their 20s that get it. That wasn't me I wasn't me.
Speaker 2:I mean I can tell you that, I mean that was, i mean that was my wife, my wife, you know, even though she, she wanted to do what she wanted to do, she had responsibility to take care of. So she, she didn't get the same luxuries you know as me to be like, let me experience going out and doing this And this I mean she still did it, but it wasn't like on this, It was done responsibly, Right Where I was, just probably like well. YOLO Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I mean, you know two different, two different. you know things that I've been doing. you know things that happened to two different people. So, yeah, that's I mean, that's I mean in essence, that's what it really boils down to. It's you know, two different things happen to two different people, and luckily we were able to come together.
Speaker 1:And yeah.
Speaker 2:So I mean that's you know, that's how I look at it. I mean I could be wrong, but yeah, that's how I look at it. I look at it, it's like we both made it here and we're happy. So that's kind of all that really matters.
Speaker 1:You know, in my head No, i got you So, but, yeah, man, like I'm, i'm, i'm, i'm definitely welcoming the I guess you call it a new chapter Like it's getting to the point where, like some of them, like my conversations, would you know, like even my conversations with you and other friends, and are different, like the perspectives are different than what it would have been two or three years ago. Yeah, like, for me personally, is more or less about how do I get to a point where, like yo and I think we might have touched on this a little bit before, or I might, or I might have touched on this a little bit before but like what, where do I, how do I get to a point where, like yo, i can be a pillar in the family or what my friends and stuff like that, be able to help out when being able to be a resource when the resources needed, but also making sure I live a good, comfortable life, right, So that resource could be like mentality, like I'm learning something before you know you learned it, not to say I'm in a rush to learn something, but you know what I mean. Like experience, the thought process, the, the, you know, the stoicism, all that shit like that benefits people, like when you got somebody like yo, let me just call so-and-so, like they always know what to do or you know, maybe they already went through this and stuff like that or stuff like that. Like, i've noticed that my conversations with people have have changed, especially one of my other homies having a hard time not hard time, And there's a his wife kind of went through like a little rough patch and stuff like that. And some of those conversations that me and him have been it's, it's, it's, it's, it's.
Speaker 1:I don't say it's weird, but it's just it's eye-opening. I know when it's got since like high school. So it's just like to see us pretty much evolve together And you know, even though the the childish ways of us still come out from time to time, that's a I know, that's a dude that's about his, his business and about his family. Yeah, so it's just, it's definitely, it's definitely eye-opening, yeah.
Speaker 2:I know, for, yeah, i guess I guess growing as growing has been the hardest part. I'll say that growing has been the hardest part, just with everything. It's like, all right, let me let me try and grow, and a lot of it, especially like with my wife growing, with her, cause, you know, she, she evolves like quickly, like it's not. No, let me let me wait around, get comfortable, and it's like it's eye-opening up, tiny ball, tiny ball. So it's like hey always evolving.
Speaker 2:I I'm just trying to keep up with her. Yeah, she's like hey man, if you ain't on the train brother, it will leave. It's like let me get on my shit. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like the different, different the way around. On my end hopefully my it's more or less like my wife see me doing a bunch of things and she you know, just, you know things work or you know quote unquote leading, and she appreciates it. She tells me she appreciates it all the time and me trying to make a better life for her and stuff like that. So I'm like damn, like I wonder if I'm you know how many men get to hear that. Like yo, i like the life we provide for me, i like the fact that you blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like just hearing that shit is just like oh shit, i'm doing something right Or I ain't. No little ass boy, no more, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Like I'm doing things I'm doing things out here. Cause when my wife tells me stuff like that, like I see you trying, i see you doing this, this and this, it's like okay, so you, so you, you, you see me All right, that, yeah, you know. So it's like those words go a long way, man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that definitely does. It's like cause, a lot of times you, you really do it sometimes, even though I know my. I know my wife sees me. I know she does. I ain't gonna say I don't think she sees me, but it's sometimes you're like man.
Speaker 2:I wonder if she sees what I'd be really out here trying to do, to do shit for us, versus you know, tell me all the stuff I don't do. So you know, a lot of times, you know, you never know if they do. But then when she does her, yeah, and I see you out here doing this and even though I might complain a little bit about this, this and this, i understand that you're trying to do a goal, cause you're trying to build something. So, yes, you ain't got to do this, this and this. For all this time It's like, well, okay, so you so, you so you do see, you've seen me out here, okay, so so it's always, it's always good to hear.
