Episode 378: Family Matters Part Tew
Get ready. (music) Yeah! Y'all ready for some live shit? Welcome! Welcome to the D, baby! It's all live down here! What you see is all real! What up, though? What up, though? Welcome back, episode 378 of the What up, though podcast. Yeah, y'all right now, if I sound weird. It says I'm using my AirPods to record. I don't know if it's going to sound bad, it's going to sound slightly less. I don't know what it's going to sound like, but I got a new laptop at work, and it doesn't have any USB ports on it. I've never seen a computer with no USB ports. It's only got USB-C ports, and my mic that I used to record is USB. And I didn't discover that until yesterday, and I didn't think about needing it until just now, when I said the top of the report. Yeah, so yeah, I got to use my AirPods, so hopefully this sound doesn't sound bad, but obviously for that next week. Like I say, it doesn't sound bad, it just sounds different from what I'm normally used to, which I still think is fine, so I think you're good. Before we go further, one thing I want to clear up, Quavo from Migos, Kim from Work Hard Travel Well, called me out on that. Well, I got caught out on the podcast with Sam Quavo. Oh, I don't know why. But Quavo always reminds me of the fucking liquor, and I fucking can't stand the fucking liquor. And so I'm just like, can't be his pronunciation, but sure as shit. Yes, that's that, that's one thing. And the second thing is not a clarification, but just want to talk about one. Shout out to Delvin Cox for jumping on the episode last week. And, you know, we was fucking with him, like, yo, you need the, can you, you know, retweet the episode to all of your 10,000 plus followers. And he's like, oh, yeah, I forgot, blah, blah, blah. Like, you know, like he's not a fucking podcast celebrity. And just let me, I just want to just want to show the people the results of that. So I, so I, I, I usually can look at SoundCloud on my, um, uh, my phone, but I had changed the account for my personal account because I'd be listening to stuff. I didn't, I just, I would rather, I had stuff I subscribe to for like different, like music shit on my, on my personal SoundCloud. So I, I, I'm logged into that one on my phone. So I can check like analytics and shit until I got home today. And so as I was looking up the episode, make sure I had the episode title, right? I looked at the overview. So I uploaded that podcast, what, yesterday or the day before? Or no, I did it Sunday night, Sunday night, I uploaded that. Overall, I think we had like 10 plays on 11 fucking 32 plays. Uh, yesterday and then today this fucker retweets the shit and we have 509 plays. That is up. 1,017% from fucking seven days ago. The power of the cocks. The, the power of the cock. Bro, you get that cock. You go, you get some cops. You're going to get some feelings in the place. Bro, this is the best, uh, play, best numbers podcast. I don't know, probably in the last, I don't know how long, like it's 519 plays of that. And then you know what second what podcast episode is second. Take a wild guess. I, I couldn't possibly another one with Delvin on it. Uh, no, well, no, it's not. I don't think he was on that one. This was, uh, I don't think we knew him then. I don't know. Maybe so. Episode 63 movies, marriage and porn sex. I don't know how that episode keeps getting plays at 60 plays. Probably because it has porn sex in the title. You know what? Probably. I'm surprised when it gets flagged by that or some shit, but yeah. Crazy that episode still gets played. Yeah. We had an episode. We got more sex in every title. Yeah. Episode 29. We did a title Black Lives Matter. It got played. Like, yes, it's interesting. But yeah, the power of the Cox as in Delvin. So yeah, shout out to him. That was pretty dope. Like fucking 500 plays. Just today. That's crazy. I wonder that motherfucker so busy doing podcasts and shit. It is the cop effect, nigga. Man. Let's get some plays. Right. Right. Right. So yeah, shout out to Delvin though. For real. Man, you know, he. And I appreciate him being open and stuff. You know, we started off the podcast last week and even just talking about. You know, stuff dealing with his grandma passing and shit like that. And I am nowhere nearly as close to my grandmother as. Delvin is, but. Going through stuff from my grandmother's health. She has like late stage cancer and stuff. And so. I've been, you know, seeing her a lot, a lot more lately. And so I went over. A couple of Tuesdays ago and just me and her hung out. And, you know, it caught off about a good hour and have, you know, really good, you know, her to, you know, just hearing random stories about shit. And so I was going to go. My plan would just go all go on Tuesdays. But last Tuesday, she had to go back to the doctor for some stuff. So. This Tuesday, my sister. My sister, my nephew and my mom was, was over there. And. My, uh, I know whatever. And so which was really. So this is a, and I didn't get to see it. And I don't know if my grandmother even she was, wasn't feeling well. So she kind of stayed in the room, but I was kind of wish I was over there earlier. Because. My nephew is seven and for forever fucking reason. This was my nephew's first time meeting my grandmother. And I have no fucking idea why it took so fucking long. Right. Yeah. I didn't even ask. I just assumed that it happened at some point. Like I'm, I'm not at this point. It's so emotional with stuff going on with her. And I'm like looking at my sister and I'm just like, how the fuck is this the first fucking time. That my nephew is met. Like he doesn't even let me up until today. He didn't even know who the fuck she was. And it's not like we live a strange, like my grandmother. We, we all in Michigan. We all 20 minutes from the city and shit or in the city. So yeah, so I wish I would have been there for that, but she wasn't feeling well. So she was just kind of sitting in a room, laying in her room. And so my sister fried some fish and we just caught up and stuff like that. But it's just so weird, man, especially when, you know, you're given like a timetable. Like, you know, they're saying like six months to a year and shit. Because of her late stage cancer and that she can't be operated on because of her age and health and shit like that. And I mean, I guess if you get like plus 80. I mean, I don't know what that will, I've never really talked to people about, you know, talk to other folks or what they feel at that point. But I mean, when you're up in age, you know, things can happen, but it's like when you're actually given a timetable, though, it's just like, like how do you even like them, the mentors are dealing with that shit got to be fucking crazy. I think when you that old, like over 80, there's probably a. A measure of. Like not dread. Because like, I think for us, it feels like that like, Oh, man, that's got to be terrible to get a timetable like that because we're still in our minds like for us, we're like, we only halfway there, you know, I'm saying like, so to think about something like that has to be crazy. But when you 80 plus, you probably feel like the 80 day dog. I mean, like getting that timetable was probably kind of just like, well, here we go. I had a good run. Like, I feel like I wouldn't want to ask them, but I feel like there's got to be a measure of kind of like. Like, they probably don't care as much as we think that they do, or as much as we feel like we would. Like, I think about that too. Like, am I going to, like, right now I think about dying all the time, like, every day. Like, I'm constantly worried about something happening to me. I feel like when you get to that age when that becomes a much more real possibility, you probably don't think about it that much at all. I just find it's like, yeah, well, any day now. So you just, I'm just go, go do what I can until I'm not here no more and that is what it is I had a good run. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I could be. Yeah, I mean, that could be. I mean, yeah, she would be my, my last biological grandparent. My, my brother's grandmother is still still alive. But yeah, it's interesting. No, your grandmother. No. Okay, that's, I don't have to tell you, but you know that's odd for old black women to not be religious, but. Oh, no, for sure. For sure. Even my, my, my brother's grandmother. She's not really religious at all. I mean, the reason, maybe Eastern church and shit, you know, but nothing. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. The reason I asked because like, so like, I don't have no grandparents left with my wife does. And the thing is, it's like, I wouldn't really want to ask like her grandmother how she feels about that her grandmother's over 90s and is surprisingly not not spry, but like not not like you would think a 90 year old person is like she's still active on Facebook. Like that's how 90 something she is. But I wouldn't want to ask her because she's super, super, super religious. So they're all like, if you are a die hard religious person and you've been die hard religious your whole life and you 90, you don't need, you know, I know she don't give a fuck. She's like, I'm just going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to get me. Yeah, like, I'm going to have to leave father and I'm going to go off into the clouds and be like, you know, they're cool. Like, they, they worried at all. She's like, I had a good run. I'm about to. I'm about to meet the heavenly father. So, like, we're going to sit on clouds and eat strawberry with angels. It's good. Like, they don't care. So I would want to ask somebody who not images how they feel about it. Yeah, but I don't know about you like that. Yeah, it's funny you mentioned that because just the first and not religious. Yeah, because she's, I mean, she used to go to church, but it was only because it's my great grandmother and my great great grandmother. And because she had to take them. And they were more religious, but my grandmother, no, she can give it. She can give a shit. Like, she may have a Bible at her house, but I mean, she's, she's not not the religious type at all. So, you know, you know how you could tell the religious types too. It'd be the ones that have mad fucking kids and shit, because they didn't believe in contraception or nothing. So they got, and they also didn't believe in sex before marriage. So they would get married and then they would just fuck. And that's it. Like the dad using back then the grandparents who were in the 80s, 90s back then it was like the man did the work or whatever the woman tended to the house and had made babies. And because of their religion, they didn't believe in contraception. So all that fucking resulted in a whole bunch of kids like my grandmother who was the pastor my church. She had 10 kids. My, my wife's grandmother, the one that sent her 90s she had like 10 kids at least she had 11 actually. Like, just kids at the ass. That's how you that's how you know that they had a religious one. But I got an excellent kind of funny story for you about grandmothers. What were you about to say though. No, no, I'll just say by by by her, I guess my grandmother's doing the stuff. I guess she would probably been labeled a thug like she went to prison. She had three, three baby daddy's four kids, like there's nothing religious or church like how many tattoo tears she got. If she did it wouldn't be surprising. She when I think I told you before I think I told him before when I was over there a couple of weeks ago, and she was talking about how she went to prison. And she named the three, I guess you would call co-defendants, like she knew them she knew them chicks by name first and last name who snitched on her and shit. I'm a robber. Right, right exactly. So it's like, you know, her memory still there she ain't lost none of that shit. And like I said, yeah, she was, you know, she was with my granddad and then my aunt has one of my eyes has a different dad. And then one of my, my uncle, my uncle said he has a different dad. And so yeah, she, I mean, she was a grandma was a rolling stone shit. I think that was probably the, you know, always the coolest. And I know you had a story, just real brief, like, I want, and I think this whole thing of being dependent my grandma's probably been a struggle because she's always been independent like she's always worked, you know, she worked in like nursing homes for years, even when she was much older. Like, I remember running into her picking up lunch over at Jay's cafe. Overall, Graham, Graham, I was in the homeboy and she was in there picking up lunch and it was just like, I had never seen my grandmother in public, other than being with her. So it was just like, I just ran into my fucking grandma at fucking Jay's like, what the hell, you know saying so she's always been independent so just just hold dependency and shit it's just really been crazy where I think but yeah, man. So that's kind of a wild story, because I've like, I never ran into none of my grandparents when they were alive like out of the streets neither. And like, I didn't, I never even saw them as independent. Well, like for one I didn't see them like my mom's grandmother the one that died most recently is the only one that I got time with really like her husband, my mom's father died. And I met her shit, that was the one with your mom, well she had to the chair and start. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I met her. Yeah, so her husband died in 89, I think, and it is December 26 is that the Christmas, 89 I think. So like I was young I remember him very well but like I didn't get a lot of time with him. My father's parents, his dad, I don't even remember. And then his mom, she died when I was a little bit older but we just didn't go see her that much like my dad wasn't very family oriented so like we didn't go see her that often. So, I think she died in my late teens probably. So like I didn't I didn't really get to know any of them like that. My mom who died recently the one that that she met or whatever that had the thing is thought. She like so she died. It was. Well she was at my wedding. So not then. Shit I don't know man we'll just say how long have I been married what year is this 24. And then 15. Yeah, so I was like I remember the year before me so yeah right. So yeah so I got married at 15 so. Oh, she probably died with I don't know we'll say 18 something like that right. And what we moved into this house that I live in right now we moved in here in. It will have been four years in November so 20 2020. Yeah so she already died and I know she was already there by the time I moved into this house. My wife claims that one day I said that I was sleep I fell asleep on the couch. And I woke up and I saw my grandma in the house. And she like I don't like. Said something or gave some kind of approval to like the house or something like blessing the house kind of deal. And I'm telling my wife like that don't even sound like something I will say I don't even I don't believe that happened to be much less than I said it. So I'm like a little about that. So I don't even sound like me. So mad questionable be. Yeah it's like because I got always said that if I ever saw anything that or experienced something that was counter to my beliefs then I would change my beliefs like I'm like I'm like I'm like I don't believe in nothing like. Like I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe in religious stuff and God all that kind of stuff. Like I don't believe in nothing like nothing. But if I saw a ghost I'll be like oh shit. It's like I changed my stance. And if I like I feel like if I saw my grandma I wouldn't just be like oh okay I like I would remember that and I'll be like oh well. I don't remember that happen. I don't remember me saying that. Like I don't know the I don't know about that. But that's what she claims. Like I told her I probably just dreamt it. And I feel like you probably are changing what I said to you to make the story better like to make it sound like really crazy and I probably just told you that I dreamt it. But yeah. I don't believe that's interesting though. And it's obvious where to like how how wild dreams is that you can really somehow can be in terms of reality. Like I was telling you about the dream I had last night. Like I was at a Hennessy party with Derek and Candace. Like and it was some weird like you had to get in with a bottle or some shit and I'm like it was like a cobalt haul or some shit. And I just remember it being a long line and he's like it's a it's the interest in the back y'all can come through that way she'll get in. And we just in there with bottles of Hennessy and shit I'm like this is weird as fuck dude. Like everything about weird dreams like that is how when you're having the dream. Everything makes sense and you think about the dream you like that'll make no sense. I woke up in like three something at this and I'm just like. Why was I hanging like me not while I was hanging with their Candace but they're not in the same circles but they are shorter but it's just like why would we all be at a fucking Hennessy party. Like yeah that was like that's one of them dreams when you wake up you like I know in the dream I was a Kobo but now that I'm awake I know the Kobo don't even look like that. Or they're like told like that area that I was in is not what that area looks like around Kobo. Like or like I said like the Kobo don't have a back door. You can go in. It's just a random back like it's like you are saying like you're at St Andrews or some shit that's a back door like no this is like we're back door in Kobo it's no back door. Like fuck. Yeah man that's just me and it was like you know I used to have like weird dreams of I was drinking a lot but I don't be drinking like that now so it's just like. I was just fucking ex it was just exhaustion really because. I went over to my step sons house and look at the look at some stuff for him. So I didn't get home to likes after seven. And say they talk with the wife we was watching TV and I just laid on the couch. And next thing I know it's like 945 I'm like fuck because I was going to get up to go coming to garage watch. 1883 have a cigar. Then go to bed I could not get the fuck up do and I just finally said fuck it. And then got in bed like 95955 was fucking out. There's certain aspects of that ship that are hitting me like fast. Like I feel like. I feel like I felt young all the way up to a certain point. And then at a certain point everything just started to go wrong. Like my body has starting to break down like things like how I've said on this podcast a million fucking times how after you record the podcast I'll watch this show I'll watch that show. I'll stay up till two o'clock in the morning. I'll stay until three o'clock in the morning. I only need a little bit of sleep all this kind of shit right now. I can't do it like the only way I can stay up late now is if I'm in the garage. Like I have to be in here. So that way I can stay kind of like engage and like it's harder for me to fucking fall asleep if I'm in a garage. You know I'm saying it's just saying you just can't get that relaxed. I guess. And I did I saw the way I do it now if I'm on the couch. Like my wife my wife falls asleep even earlier than she did before. But now I fall asleep like not too long after or I'll get now I'm kind of at the point where I'll get so tired that even if I don't fall asleep I'll just make the conscious decision I'll be like man, I know I need to watch whatever show but I can't make it though I was gonna go to bed. It'd be like 11 o'clock it shit and I'll be mad at myself because I'm like man 11 o'clock my wife's sleep. I could probably get like three hours of watching shit in right now if I wanted to. I'm like fuck I'm gonna be. And I know your situation let different mind like you got your kids you know you're dealing with them during the day you finally get a chance to have some me time. Definitely want to knock out your stuff and my other difference is just like we I usually have me time all the fucking time like me and my wife doesn't really watch the stuff. My wife doesn't really watch the same shows much we have a few shows watch together but for the most part you know we had dinner. We you know paying for a minute then I'll come to garage have a cigar watch whatever I want to watch or whatever. And but for some reason I just never can get to bed until like close to midnight and it's stupid because I have to go to work early I mean luckily like tomorrow I'll work home so I can just get up and start working but. It's just you know to get an old part of just you know I'm trying to be active now my wife has been on a. Been motivated to work out and stuff and so that's been cool because that's always been a struggle of when I wanted to work out she wasn't there and it's you know you have to you know kind of. Walk on pins and needles you know say hey maybe you should be active to why you think I'm fat you know I'm saying shit like that and so not as she's like motivated I'm just not there at the moment. Like I feel like the stresses of the week and everything it's been like heavy on me and I feel like I just need a few days to get shit together but she's just like have you took your vitamins today. If you take your greens and I'm like fuck leave me the fuck alone but at the same time I know I need this shit but. Yeah like yeah it's it's it's it's getting old dog it's I mean. I'm having a hard time with it I ain't going. Oh I was about to say it's better than they're not but at the same time it's just like. Fuck dude I'm struggling but I am struggling. Yeah I don't like it. It's not working for me at all. I'm like this is not enjoyable. I think and I think it's because too like I feel like I went longer than most people not feeling old. Like I feel like most people started feeling old a lot younger than I did. So I'm like I was still the place where like I'm fighting on feel young pretty pretty late into life dog and I still believe that I'm going to feel and look younger than my age for probably quite some time still. But I'm struggling with like just just waking up hurting like that really gets on my fucking nerves like that's the worst thing to me right now about getting old is waking up and having stuff hurting that you didn't do something to make her. That's what I fuck I fucking hate that like I wake up like damn my shoulder hurt like this. I'm like, I didn't like fucking like throw a bad pitch like I just woke up. I was in a band for like six hours like how did I get an injury. I hate that shit that man I woke up. I woke up. I'll tell you this right quick that I woke up. No good man. What was it. Did we so damn it was. Oh okay so we podcasted with Delvin last Tuesday. If there was something about the date that if we if the date had been different I would have been able to do it. Oh yeah because it was Monday right so Sunday night into Monday morning I woke up Monday morning with like a pinch nerve like in my hip. And the only reason I know that it was a pinch nerve is because I have so much experience with pinch nerves in my bed. I know exactly what that shit feel like and man it got worse and worse and worse throughout the day like it got to a point where it's like it's spread down my leg and then like I'm trying to like one I could barely walk. I could but it was painful. And then if I tried to lay on the couch. Every way that I moved my leg to try to like relieve the pain. The pain would just move to a different part of my leg so like if it will be in my hip when I first sat down right. And then if I try to like position my leg a certain way to where my hip didn't hurt no more than the pain moved out to my knee and fuck when I need her now then I try to bend my leg so that my knee don't hurt and then the pain went down to my foot. And I had to deal with that like all day just like this constant fucking pain and it was like that like I said I do shit. I didn't slide in the third base they get off the sleeve. And then that shit hurts so bad all day. And then Tuesday. It hurts so bad I told work on Monday that I wasn't going to come in the next day. I was like I work from home but I'm not I can't come in I can't put up with trying to walk like this. Like I'm not I'm going to work from home. So I work from home. And I did like I looked up because when I've had these like random injuries that come from like nothing like from sleeping and shit. Like when I went to physical therapy for my shoulder do taught me just kind of like yo stretches you can do to like alleviate that pain and all this kind of stuff so I was like well let me Google stretches that I can do to see if there's a stretch I can do for my hip. I can relieve you know pressure if you have like a pinch nervous some shit right. I looked up this fucking stretch right on YouTube. And the very first one I looked out it was like a thing was like five stretches to the for your hips or whatever the very first one I was like that looks like that would be effective. And it's the thing where like you lay on the you lay on the ground with your your knees bent and your feet spread to about like hip. So all you do is just binge your like twist your knees to the side like so like lean them to the left and then lean them to the right. And like you just and but you keep your body flat your upper body flat on the ground so you lay it on your back. You keep that part flat on the ground and then you just like move both your knees to the left all the way to the ground and then both your knees to the right all the way to the ground. I did it two times. Like I got up I was like yo what the fuck like I did I went to do it a third time. And it didn't like I didn't feel nothing I was like did I just do it wrong. I was like I didn't feel like like like the first two times it was like that. That stretch. He's like oh like you feel it. Oh man it kind of hurt. I'm stretching it. And I did the second time I was like okay that feels better that feels better. And there's a third time I feel nothing. I was like what the fuck I was like did I do it wrong. I did it a fourth and fifth time and I didn't feel nothing. And I stood up and I was like what I was like this fish fix. By the end of the day I was back to normal. Like fully back to fucking normal dog like you didn't hurt at all. I mean I heard a little bit like if I pressed on it it would hurt a little bit but like you know I could walk I could run if I needed to like I was perfectly back to normal. But like so like learning them stretches this shit really really helps but yeah that's the most annoying thing. Just waking up with some random shit there and it's not some random shit like oh this hurts a little bit. It's like it's like I wake up like God do I need to go to the ER. The fact that you're saying I need to call out work and you're like that's enough. Yeah I told work on Monday I was like I'm not coming in tomorrow. I'm working from home. I can't do it. And ultimately that was still the right decision. But if I had done the stretches at like Monday night or Tuesday morning I could have went to work. That's like I said it completely repaired me. So yeah that's in my little arsenal now. I've been considering getting like a mat so I could like a yoga mat so I could stretch and and it's like I really like being outside so I can have it sitting in the grass. I think stretching is a big part of just a lot of, well I'm saying a lot of it. I think that's a part of a lot of it. It's just me not being limber, not stretching enough, not being active enough. Like we had rented a peloton bike and and so I'm using it you know but someday I just you know I've been working these crazy hours, someday I just don't feel like doing it. And then the seat was fucking terrible on that bike like it was, I changed it and put my wife's bicycle seat on it which is a lot more of a cushion. But my wife hated it even with the seat that she had for a bike she hated so she didn't even ride it. So it was just me. And so now it's just the pressure of me riding she's like where are you going to ride or we go, you know, and at this point she wasn't even active. And so I'm just like what the fuck are you doing shit, why are you on me about this bike and I'm just like it's because we're paying for it I'm thinking and I'm like well fuck I thought I was like you know what send that bitch back. But what do you mean I'm like listen I don't need the pressure if you wanted me to ride it because we're paying for it and you're not doing it at all. So we end up sending that back I would probably rather just ride my regular bike or just do some regular walking or whatever. But you know it was just I just hate it because it was just like a conversation I didn't want to have of like, listen, I can see if you were being active, but you're not. And so you're pushing me to do some shit because we're paying for it. I'm like fuck it I'll pay for it out of my own pocket no house money, just for you to not ask me and it was it was a sort of topic because I felt like, and I don't know if it's true but I felt like it was more that we were paying for it more than she cared and active, and that's the part to bug me, and I just avoided the conversation to the point where I thought you know what just send it back. I'll do some other exercises that doesn't involve you feeling like you're wasting money and shit you know. So did you end up sending it back or do you just suggest that. Nope we send it back. Yeah, because I mean, I just felt like it was going to constantly be a topic of like sort of a sort of topic of discussion. And I would rather just do some other stuff and you know life is stressful enough marriage is stressful enough. I don't need another thing added to the list of things that could be stressful in the marriage so. No, I laugh because I laugh because of the decision and you saw that it was a potential item that could cause potential grief consistently going forward you know what. Why not just remove that object altogether then I don't worry about the potential grief. Right. It wasn't about the bike and it really wasn't about the bike it was just a grief that was there was potentially going to cause that it was starting to cause I'm just like you know what. I was just sent it back and I could do some other stuff and you don't have to worry about that. And so but now that you know she's big and being more active it's cool. We have a trimming already so she uses that a lot. We walked the dogs. Like today she knew I just had a day so as soon as I got home. I let she wasn't even home she was out with her friends. I got home. Got in the backyard had a cigar in the back she came out like I'm gonna walk the dog she even asked me I was like because you I'm glad you picked up on the vibes. And I just set and chilled. I mean but I've been trying to like I've been being pretty active at work I've been trying to get steps in it works so usually my thing is to try to go like out like my goal is to try to get about 5000 steps while I'm at work. And so I don't work like. Yeah and it's I've been pretty decent at it. I don't have like it's not no big building where I could like you know walk through hallways and shit like that. So I every maybe couple of hours or so I'll go paste the parking lot. And I've mapped it to about roughly eight nine hundred steps. So I try to do that and then just walking around the office sometimes on the other desk and shit. So I've been trying to try to push it to get like 5000 steps it. I think my goal is like 9000. So I've been trying to push it to get like 5000 at work and then once I get home. I can walk the dogs are shit like that just to kind of get you know my steps of being active and stuff. But yeah, you know it was a fucking trip that. Yeah that's the same thing I do like when I met when I worked in the office. That's what I try to do to try to walk around as much as I can like. Like I mean I worked downtown so it was obviously a lot of walking I can do down there. So I leave out the building walk to a different building walk you know walk all over the place and then walk to my car not just aimlessly like. But I'll find stuff to do or whatever just to just to get out of the office and just to get out and walk around and stuff. Or I'll but you know I'll take the stairs if I can manage to take the stairs like I won't force myself to take the stairs if it's like eight flights and shit. But like if I got a goal if I got a meeting take three flights up I'll take the stairs you know stuff like that you know. Get it you know get it wherever you can. Yeah man I'm trying man it's like and I just. It's harder when you just don't fucking feel like it. And a lot of times I just I just I just be tired like I'm gone. I feel like I'm going 10 to 12 hours a day. I get home I really just want to sit and chill but I know I got goals to make so it's like. You know sometimes she want to walk together it's cool she go on a treadmill I haven't been on the treadmill. Yeah but I don't even like to treadmill so I try to do I rather just I really go outside and cut the grass. Then right the fucking treadmill like I feel like that's a good idea though I mean you get the same exercise you know I'm saying and that's more engaging you can. Oh sure. You're actually moving you're accomplishing the task like I mean it's it's more engaging it's more. Yeah so I cut my grass probably more than I should just because most of it's just an exercise part of it like you've been in my yard my backyard is huge. And so it takes me a while to do it and I'll just cut the grass and you know just to get that I just bought some kettle balls. So I'm gonna start walking with those. So just trying to make more efforts of making normal stuff I do as my workout you know it's like planning to sit there and just walk the treadmill to me it's just. It's just so much of a chore but if I can get something done like yard work. So typically end of the week when it stays I'm usually home when home work working home on when it stays when they the Thursdays I try to cut the grass because if I have to bag it they pick it up on Friday. So usually Thursdays I'll you know do a lot of yard work and get my steps in and shit like that. That's the same thing I do. But that's but again that's a step that's effective though like so the last time I went up the last time but the last time I use my writing more to cut the grass. It started smoking real bad. And I'm like oh fuck something wrong with this bitch. And so I pulled it into the garage and cut it off. At that point, I was probably and you know how big my front lawn is. At that point I was probably only about halfway done. And I'm like fuck. And I'm like, I can find somebody to fix it and I'm like, man fuck it. I was like let me just get the push more and I finished it with the push more. And next time next week comes and I'm like alright let me go cut the grass and I'm like fucking well I was like what am I going to do about the grass and I'm like the right I'm always fucking up. I don't want to make it like, you know I don't want to do something that's going to make it unfixable. So I'm like let me not fuck with it. I'll use the push more and I'll just do the whole thing on a push more. And whatever day it was that I did it. I don't know why I did it this day but it was dumb hot. And I was like I normally wouldn't even go outside in this kind of heat and I decided to cut my entire front lawn. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking like I had to take a half time like I got halfway through. I was sweating so hard my heart was beating so hard I'm like I'm gonna die if I don't go inside. So let me go inside. I went inside sat down for probably like two and I'll be like half an hour or whatever. I'm probably longer than that because I had a work thing that I had to do. So I did that or whatever. And then I went back out and I finished it. The next week. It was. And now we're at the last time I cut the grass so last. I think it was last Friday or yes I think it was last Friday. I went out there to do it again. And I went out there and did the whole the whole front and back in one shot. I felt fine. But like that's that's how quickly you can get in better condition. If you just one if you decide to push yourself and then to just doing something that's engaging because I'm the kind of person that I can't. I can't start something and not finish it. I can't finish it. I mean like I can't start it. I can't even generally I can't even pause until I'm done with it. Like that one time when I took the halftime like that was like I said that I was so bad at that point that I was like I have to stop because I'm like I might something might happen to me if I don't. And then it was really bad for me to stop a task in the middle of doing it. So once I start cutting the grass it either doesn't matter how bad like it has to get really, really bad for me to stop. So I'll just keep pushing through it just because I just I'll just I'll just I don't know my brain stops like I can't not I can't interrupt the task. I'm in the middle of and because of that I've already built up an endurance to where I can do it easier and I don't also don't push myself when I'm doing it like I'll walk it. Well, when I'm on flat surface or going down I'll walk at a normal pace but if I'm going up because like you know my front lawn is on a pretty steep incline. If I'm going up, I have I go really slow. But I'm like if I try to go to normal pace. Yeah, pushing that fucking lawnmower up that steep ass fuck man. I got to it so now I'm sitting here like I'm going to save the money on getting the lawnmower the writing more fixed, especially because we're almost at the end of the summer anyway. And then I'm like my fat ass can always use the fucking exercise so I'm like now I'm just keep I'm going to keep using a fucking push more like fuck it. I'll just keep doing that and you know get the exercise and now I'm doing the same thing that that you just said, do it on my work from home day, because my thought process is when I'm in the office I'm getting my steps in because I get out I walk around I do a lot of stuff. But I get like, I don't get I don't think I get 5000 steps in while I'm there but I like I just looked at my fitness app. I average 6000 steps a day with the days where I'm not at work being very low. So I'm like pretty high up closer to you know, eight nine 10,000 on the days that I'm at work. So I'm like if I do the fucking lawn on one of the days that I'm at home. That's like four days out of the week and I'm getting a pretty decent amount of steps in so like you know, get that lesson get that in when you can like using the company grass on a on a work from home day. Boom. That's getting you some getting you some cardio exercise in on a day where you would probably be sitting in the house all day. Especially before it gets winter because once winter come, you know, you know grass cutting so just like I'll have to really start being creative I might have to start doing a trip mail and shit like that but now, you know, that the weather is, you know, it has no snow. You know I'm saying, and, and I want to be in a point where is, I want to get to a point where it doesn't feel like a chore because right now it's a total fucking chore. And I, you know, I don't know if I would ever become one of the people that that that totally enjoys working out. I mean, I have, I have weight goals, but I just wanted to be less of a chore. I don't have aspirations of enjoying it. They just go for a run like that's never going to be me, but I just wanted to be less than a chore like, you know, I don't feel like shit about doing it like one day. And I didn't feel like it at all. And, but I did anyway, you know, and so it's funny can we end up getting. I was, I was annoyed by something else unrelated and I don't even remember it was when she was like you're walking with attitude I'm like no I wasn't like I didn't get mad to afterwards. I just felt like it but I did it anyway, you know, I wasn't out puffing and puffing and shit I just was, you know, I did it, you know, but you know I just I just want to get to a point where it's, it's not that, you know, so, and it's a struggle. I tell you that's a fucking struggle. That's what helps me to not, when it doesn't feel like a struggle for me is when I've got it in a room as part of a routine. Because like right now my days are too erratic. Like I can't plan, I can't really plan anything because my day is too unpredictable. Like so that's what makes it when it's like that trying to exercise and shit is a chore because it's like okay now I gotta find a spot to fit it in I might not feel like doing it at that time. But it's like if you have a routine and you have a spot where it's like I can do it from 10 to 11 every day. That will make it not feel like a chore because like that's because I had a time period where I was able to go to work out in the gym at work. And that never felt like a chore because I had like I knew I was like at whatever time it was I was going, I can go back and go work out after shower I come. I love it because I will go back to my desk and have a second half my day and I'm like man I've worked out I got a shower I'm clean smelling do this like I feel energetic I feel great. That don't that's one way for it to not feel like a chore and then the other way is once you see results. And it don't even have to be like oh I'm skinny now like as soon as you. You don't even have to see the results if you step on this if you work out for. And it feels like a chore but you do it anyway for out of two weeks right and you step on a scale and you've lost eight pounds some shit you'll be like hell yeah. And then it ain't gonna feel like a chore no more it's gonna feel like well let's keep it going. Yeah because you're seeing you know you're seeing the results. Yeah so like it's gonna be like let's keep this going because your mindset will shift to I don't want to lose the progress that I made. I want to continue to make progress. So then it's gonna feel like less of a chore and it's gonna feel like something that you almost want to do not like let's go for a run. But like you're gonna feel like I gotta get this workout in because I don't want to fucking you know who's my progress or I don't want to die or I ate too much today or like you know you'll be more motivated to do it. No I mean it all makes sense I just I'm getting there but it's just I don't know I've been mentally stressful working home. Well you never you like it's it's going to be a chore at first no matter what. Like so to get to the point where it don't feel like a chore if you got to get through the time that it does. But it's like I said it won't be long. Like I said if you if you work out if you work out and eat good for like two weeks. And you get on the scale and be like it's especially if you ain't dead shit. Like that's when you see the most results right away is when you first start. So if you haven't done shit a long time and you first and you first start and you say then you have to eat good like you know but like you know you say eat better for two weeks and get work out there. And you step on the scale and you lost like eight pounds of shit you don't be like yeah let's get it. So, yeah you probably got to kind of tough through like two weeks or something you'd be good. Yeah my goal man is to come Labor Day I will be in a good routine. That I don't feel like shit. I think you should try that like just because that might be another thing too is like if you look at it like alright let me work out today. Like I feel like a chore and the next day I don't be worked out I don't really feel like but what if you if you did a thing and this will work for me I don't know if it works for you. But if you did a thing was like alright I'm I'm gonna commit to it for the next two weeks to see what happened. Yeah. And don't even and don't even think about it outside of that alright the next two weeks. I'm gonna do blah blah blah blah whatever it isn't you like line up I'm gonna eat this I'm gonna eat that I'm gonna not eat this. I'm gonna do these exercise whatever and then give it the two weeks to see what happened. And then like I said I firmly believe that if you do even a halfway decent job of eating better and exercise it for two weeks. You'll probably step on a scale and be like oh bet let's keep this let's keep this party going. Yeah no for sure and I think a lot of it comes with just lack of planning like the last like two weeks we haven't eaten really good. But we've been you know making food or making dinner taking leftover stuff have been you know and so the food stuff we've been kind of doing a lot more I just need to stick to it especially when we don't prep for it. Just getting better options and shit like that. And so yeah man you know I'm looking forward to a update next week on the podcast you know my progress from now to the end because I can say I want to start doing a lot more of my work from home at least. I gotta plan it like you say 10 to 11, get you something in whatever the times is that may be you know so. Yeah man that's good good info good info. Yeah, I just hopefully. You know as the weather starts to get cold I'll get the last few lawn mose and we'll probably we'll probably be cutting the grass into September. And then in two September not until September into September like through September. Oh yeah. My plan is to keep doing that keep using the push more to get the extra workout in on the days that I'm at home. And then with winter comes the Emperor I'm going to I'm probably going to follow the treadmill. That's what I did last winter and it wasn't like a plan but that's just how it kind of like how it ended up happening. I just think we remember there was a portion of a couple of months where I was working out on the treadmill either at home or in the gym at work. And I'll watch only murders in the building new episodes. Because it had the perfect runtime for being on the treadmill. It was like it being on the treadmill walking at a relaxed pace. Now if you run it if I was running it'd be way too long but like if you just walk in at a fairly brief pace. A nice episode of only murders in the building running about 30 minutes or so that's a decent time so I would use that like as my gauge for how long I'll be on the treadmill like I get on I'll start only murders in the building and I'll get off on this over. And that was my that was my routine. And to that point, only murders in the building premieres I think either at the end of this month or early September. So I'll probably be back. Okay. Yeah, I'll probably be back on that saying shit watching that on the treadmill. But before we wrap up to I don't know how long we've been going but can we talk about the Olympics for a little bit. Because I have some thoughts on the Olympics that I wanted to express. And I thought about even doing like just a solo episode where I just kind of like talk about the Olympics I was like man nobody want to get that shit. So I was like I'll talk about it. I'll talk about it just a little bit on the on the actual podcast episode rather than try to do a whole thing but I know you watch, you watched a pretty decent amount right. Yeah, so like for me. This is the most you definitely watch more than me. But yes, I did watch a pretty good amount of I didn't go front to back. Or it's entirely like some people. But like the having it on peacock where you can watch anything and you can just like choose like scroll through and just watch everything or and then watch the replays later. Like having the complete and total access to watch every event whenever you want. Yeah, there was nothing. And then couple that with like, I have days where I'm working at home so I can just have it on the TV while I'm at home. And then when I was at work they had it on TV there. So I'm like man I had this at all all the time but I started watching the Olympics and and well, it should be a surprise to nobody the year that I started watching the Olympics was 1992. Yeah, I've watched the Olympics ever since 1992 every single year. The last one the Tokyo one is the one I watched the least because that was the one that had it got delayed because of COVID and then had all the COVID stuff and it just wasn't the same. I didn't watch a lot of the Tokyo one. But, and then I don't think I think peacock existed, but I don't think it was like it was this year like this year they had their shit together like peacock was the shit for the Olympics this year but Tokyo I don't think I think peacock was around but I don't think it was as good as it is now so I didn't watch that much of that one. But other than that I watched it every not every year but you know what I mean everyone since 1992. And this one man I don't know that maybe it's because I watched more of it than I have in the past. But man there was so many great moments and I really really enjoy watching people be great. It's inspiring to like to watch people who are just like, for me it's really like the gymnast because like the gymnast like the way that they fine tune their bodies the the runners to like the track and feel people. But like the gymnast dog like watching gymnast do the rings and shit. Like man that kind of shit is incredible to me dog like I don't know I just like watching people who are in these like high pressure situations like okay this he needs to score this much to win the gold. Like man like that's crazy and it'll watch somebody come out and have like a perfect performance and some shit. It's totally inspiring. I loved watching it and there was so many so many great moments I want to talk about a few of them. And I'm sure you're probably familiar with all I made a note. Just to talk about moments from the Olympics. And you're probably familiar with all of these even though you didn't watch it like I did but like these are all like main moments to anybody who kind of like. Half attention to it is probably familiar with the first thing I want to talk about briefly is the fact that Snoop was everywhere. Was that not everywhere dog everywhere that fucking awesome everywhere dog. This nigga was involved in the Olympics like like of all the people. Like I would have never guessed that Snoop would be like the fucking United States mascot. Fucking Paris Olympics dog. Fucking Snoop dog, the same nigga that fucking went to see Dolores Tucker on his ass and he's with the he's about to go to jail for for a murder and shit murder was the case is a doggy style and all the fucking shit that this niggas known for this gangster ass life. Now he's like oh happy cheerful everybody loves him up who they put on the fucking everywhere on the Olympics this nigga was at every event sitting next to every family. This nigga was doing all the fucking side things like Snoop's involvement in the Olympics was absolutely incredible. Love that. Do you want to say about Snoop? Oh no other than I mean you said it all I mean it was just one of just dope you know knowing his history as a rapper has his his you know legal issues and stuff like that. And becoming the face of the of the US you know for this shit was you know they could have picked any random white person who had a better track record or better cleaner record than Snoop would have or whatever. Just having them there just, you know, I want to say it took down barriers but it just showed that you know a guy like him and his past and from a genre of music that's not necessarily you know accepted you know internationally like that. He's not a family friendly artist. Yeah not at all not at all you know I'm saying the man from from bitches ain't shit but holds and tricks is you know the face of the Olympics. That was crazy. Like it turned me out even hearing him interview people because I kept thinking he was going to say something snoop like, yeah, but like man could you really fuck that shit up nigga like damn snoop but I'm like he's not that he's not that personal board. I mean it was showing him he had his grandkids there and shit dogs so it's like you know grandpa can't be out here fucking up dog you know I'm saying so yeah he I was I was pretty happy about that that was definitely one of the highlights of the Olympics is. It's seeing him being so active in it and I'm allowing him to be so active he was pretty transparent and he was happy to be there. He didn't say it wasn't like on no money Williams shit you know he was really genuinely happy and thrilled to be there and you saw it in all of the interviews and his interactions and all of that shit. You know like he's totally like rebranded now like he's like like I was telling somebody it might have been you, but like he's like a person who like there's a whole generation of people that see him as this guy like the cheerful everybody loves him like at all the things that he's that guy to like a whole lot of people just like ice cube is the nigga for movies are big three to people just like I see the nigga from law and order to people like. And then there's people like us who like you know these things was gangster gangster rappers before they were these family friendly people that y'all watch now. Man like he's totally rebranded himself is like a family friendly nigga. It was a dude that did it is a dude to tweet that said something to the effect of his mom told him how much she enjoyed snoop being you know at the Olympics. And he was saying this is the same person who grounded him for listening to stupid kid. So yeah that just that I think that just brings a full circle for snoop man. So yeah that that was that was dope I fully agreed that was awesome. And everything else I want to talk about was just individual moments that I thought were cool that that people did combination of like great performances and then combination of things that became like memes. Like the Australian break dancer. That was a great moment for memes and jokes. The guy that we affectionately know as pocket nigga. My favorite thing is the Turkish the Turkish guy and the shooting contest y'all all y'all I'm sure everybody listen know who I'll talk about my man who they all had the eyesights on his shit and all the fucking head gear. And he just walked up with his hand his pockets. Off the gun I want to silver. Oh man I love watching that guy pocket nigga man he's my guy. And then these individual performances man no allows his his 100 meter. What fucking 0.05 fucking win deficit. Coming back to win that at the last second by a crazy amount. And what I loved about that race was that everybody was like below 10 seconds and it was something to the effect of like the person who was in like 8th or 7th or something like that. Would have meddled in like several of the past Olympics or something like that like they would have meddled and they were like eight. Some shit like our faster away faster now. Yeah like that's how crazy everybody was not just the winner like you like you hit the winner of the winner broke a world record or the winner broke an Olympic record but it's like everybody on that bitch was gone. So I love that. Another runner Quincy Hall. I don't know did you see him he was the one who in the forest in the 400 meter and that motherfucker star school back high school next week. No no that's not Quincy. Oh my bad. My bad. That guy was the. No I'm sorry. My bad. Yeah I can't remember what he did but yeah that that motherfucker 16. I saw a tooth and he was like man it's crazy I gotta go to school in two weeks. Yeah yeah that wasn't Quincy my bad. God damn go about Quincy Hall is the biggest like he tufted out like he was making the face like grunting almost like going across the finish line passing everybody. Like he looked like he was like given every single ounce of everything he had and he came back to win that race looking like. Like I said looking like somebody who was about to fall out and he was still passing it. Yeah it was crazy. The female gymnast collectively all of them were incredible. I can't think of a specific one individual performance that I thought was like oh man I was crazy great but they were all collectively great. I was glad she's a car get hers man. Oh yeah that's on the list. We'll move to that right now. Chicago in that 400 the four by 100 relay. That was probably my favorite race of the whole Olympics because they had like I think they kind of got off to a slow start. And then when they got to Gabby Thomas who ran third the handoff on the baton was kind of kind of clunky. But man Gabby Thomas is so goddamn fast and she she had won the 200 meter earlier smoking niggas. She was so goddamn fast and when she got it to chicari I think one of my favorite chicari one of my favorite things about that was when she handed the baton you can see her kind of yelling and it looked like. I don't know what she said, but it looked to me like some highly motivational shit like she had a chicari to the fucking baton I was like go get that shit bitch. That's what it looked like. Go with us and go ho you know it's something something like that that's what it looked like. And then her taking off the and then that look to the side. Oh man that side look like these bitches can't beat me. And the way she like pumped their fists as she got across man that was fucking great. I love and you know obviously with what happened with her not being able to go to Tokyo and being able to get that get that win. That was great. The hurdler Sydney McLaughlin the wrong man. That was the most focused niggas ever that I that I saw the whole Olympics. Like everybody else even when they were like bought the you know do whatever it is whatever event that it was they did they all looked kind of like. I wouldn't say relaxed but just kind of like you know they were there to you know do that thing some people goofing off having a good time. Like she wasn't thinking about nothing other than breaking records like she wasn't thinking about goal because I heard my I already won that shit. She was like I'm focused on just beyond anything to anybody else he was talking about like she didn't look like she was in the mood for games like she didn't come here to have fun. She came here to win medals and break records and then she went out there and she broke a world record her own world record. She was like man she was fucking incredible. Probably my favorite one of my other favorite moments was early on when the US men gymnastics team won the bronze and they hadn't they hadn't meddled in like a long time I can remember when they said it'd been a I think it's an eight year eight. I don't know but whatever it is the men gymnastic team had not meddled collectively in a long time and they got the bronze because Stephen was Stephen Neterosic who only does the pommel horse has sat there the whole event not doing shit. If you look at just like sitting in the rock of the road is stuck studying like I'm just here focused because it's the only thing I'm gonna do so I don't got to get this shit right. And then they became on dead ass last took his nerdy fucking glasses off couldn't see shit and killed that fucking pommel horse routine. Man that shit was so good. That was so that was one of the first things that was within the first probably like two days of the Olympics but I was like man is about to be a good one. And the last couple things. You know about my man Mondo Armando what was his name Armando I remember his whole name now. He taught this or something like that. But he was the pole vaulter who after he won the gold that nigga took to use the rest of his time to break to break his own world record. Like he had like the last like six records or some crazy shit. He had at the time he did it now he at the time he did it. He had nine of the top 10. And the one guy who was not him in the top 10 was eight. But that dude held the world record until Mondo came and broke it. And then Mondo broke it seven times. And then he broke it an eighth time on this Olympic so now that guy is now night in the in the top 10 and Mondo broke and he took three he had three tries to do it he did it on the third try. And then the goal he didn't even do it. He could have this is not way I haven't go punk around break my own world record again for the eighth time. That was dope. And then lastly both basketball games were incredible. The fucking I don't know if you watch both of them but yeah I'll watch both. Oh the women's game was a great game had a crazy ending with the fucking. I mean I can hear you still. Yeah hold on a second. Our sound is going to get worse but I got to do what I got to do so hold on to say. I'm going to turn all this off. Okay. Can you hear me? Yep. Alright, can you hear me? Yep, he good. Alright cool. So my AirPods died so I had to switch to the regular fucking just computer shit so I'm probably going to sound shitty, but we actually sound good so you're fine. So this is a pretty fancy laptop so it probably has pretty good speakers. Yeah the basketball game the women's basketball game ending. The US was up by three and this chick on France Gabby Gabby Williams Gabby Williams old fucking game and she knocks down the shot that would have tied it to sit at the overtime but her foot was on the line. It was a two and they ended up losing by one and it was at the buzzer so there was nothing else they could do and it lost by one even though she made the shot and it's like they were all crying and shit and I feel bad for them but it was a great game. So you know whatever is a great fucking game she was a former WMB player. I think she played for two different teams here but then she's overseas and essentially she went overseas because of the money because WMB is paying shit. She said that in an actual interview some to the effect of you know I would love to play with the best people in the world, the best women in the world because I believe the WMB is where they are but I need to be able to take care of my family. Yeah so I saw that and that was that was funny to me too because everybody who was watching that kind of thing for the first time, they all assumed that that no one on the US team. The people who were not on the US team also had not played here professionally. So you're like oh I need to get this Gabby Williams chicken at WMB is the people who actually pay attention like what she wasn't he wasn't a WMB. Right exactly she was but yeah they didn't pay right so she saw that same thing and she was like yeah you know but they didn't get that money together so it is what it is. But yeah that that that game is incredible and then of course the men's game which I'm sure everybody has seen a highlight from Steph man fuck. I saw interview where they asked I think it was KD. If that was the greatest like he checks Steph Curry performance ever and he was like I've seen a lot he's like but given the stakes given that it was the you know the Olympics. All this kind of stuff he's like yeah that was probably the best one and I'd have to agree like that. Like I mean I guess doing it for doing it for the NBA championship probably feels bigger because we're from here and the NBA is the league and we are the best players at NBA but like. To do that at the Olympics dog and that that last one he made man. That was an incredible that was an incredible performance to watch that that was amazing. I think the thing that was interesting to me with Steph is that he. It was, he kept it, uh, reiterating that this was going to be his last one. So we got Olympic and four years away from basically it feels like he's not going to be playing in four years. And so he wanted to make this one, you know, count. And so based on and did you catch on that catch on to that as well. No, no I didn't actually. Yeah, he said it a few times and it was it was talked about a few times that you know he kept saying this is my only chance, my last chance of getting a goal. And so I'm going to do it so based on that I feel like Steph is out in the next three years or maybe he feel like he's not going to be at that level where in four years he'd be picked but I feel like he's retiring before the next Olympics. Yeah, I didn't know he said that. And I kind of, I know everybody was saying this is probably the last time that him, Katie and LeBron are going to be playing together but like, I kind of have felt that. Steph is probably still going to be in the league in 2028. So I was like, I think Steph could be on the team but like if he says that he's not been. And he didn't say he didn't outright say he's not going to be. He basically but he did say this is this last chance to get a goal. So you kind of just, you know, interpret, interpret that is. Yeah, not going to be in the NBA come 2028. Well, he feels that way now, but I feel like he could probably still be playing until then. Oh yeah, absolutely, absolutely. I think if he could stay at that level without being injured and stuff. But I mean, I don't know, man, I look at NBA players. I mean, he's made fucking hundreds of million. I'm assuming maybe in the 200 million mark. Or whatever. I wouldn't fucking play four years or either. I would fucking enjoy my life. Why? I can't. I could, you know, you got, you got more money, more money than your kids and your kids kids can spend. You get a chance to just enjoy life. I mean, why not, you know, you know, go until you just can fall out or whatever. Yeah, as much as we would love to see him play, especially his level of shooting the athleticism, you know, but I get it, you know. Yeah, and he, and he. I mean, like, I don't know if he can play. Like, if he if he is still playing in 2028, I don't think he would be on the Olympic team, though, like, that's a maybe because I just feel like about 2028. He's not going to be what LeBron is right now, like LeBron is 39 or 40. And I think LeBron is 39. And I think I saw a thing that said how old each of them would be in 2048 this year, I think. Yeah, it's a step will be 40 in 2028. And I don't think Steph at 40 is going to be like LeBron is currently. But I think Steph can still be in the league. And I think Steph could even possibly still be good enough to be on the team. But I feel like if he is in the league, he probably just, I feel like he probably won't even want to play like he'll, he'll probably just be like, yeah, I'm straight. I got my goal. I got all these championships already. I'm tight. Like if he's still playing. By that point, too. He should step, he should step aside, because there's going to be a lot of young guys who are not old enough who are not who haven't been around long enough to be in this one, who will be at their peaks in 2028 like Kate Cunningham, for example, like Kate Cunningham should probably be on that team. Like if he's not good enough to be on that team, then fuck. But he should be good enough to be on that team, but like he's going to have to step aside and make room for those guys who are in their, you know, third season right now or fourth season right now that are going to be in their seventh or eighth season in 2028, and are going to be deserving of that spot over a 40 year old stuff, but all that to say though, I do still, I feel like he'll probably still be in a league though. Yeah, and I take that back. I feel like he will still be capable of being in a league if he's not playing this because he don't want to not because he feel like he too old or too watched. I don't think too old or too watched. I don't think it's going to be a factor. I think it's going to be. I just don't want to do it no more. I think too, and not to overshadow steps, you know, perform especially last game. Like, I think you just need to be said that it's just amazing to see LeBron still play at such a high level. You know, the last two games he wasn't really, you know, he wasn't the top scorer, he was involved, but man, the energy he brought throughout the Olympics man was just fucking nuts to be fucking 39 years old. I was just, I just felt that it was going to be. I mean, obviously it wasn't to him because he didn't play a lot. It'll be a lot. Some of the younger guys, you know, but to see him still play at that level man and just take control, be commanding like he did. It's just something to say about how he takes care of himself man. Like, you know, his, his, what he does to take care of himself needs to be studied and and put in books for for future players. Current players, you know, I'm saying him seeing KD play at that level. KD is now the most decorated fucking basketball NBA player of goals. Yeah, and in our history, he played at a hell of a level. I think all of that or probably overshadowed the Jason Tatum shit. I think it was big when it was going on. I would love to hear his thoughts. I don't feel like Jason Tatum gives a fuck. So he's how to burden this definitely does not give a fuck. He definitely don't care. He did a tweet saying something about when you know, something effective when you do it for the group project. Yeah, that motherfucker just had a free seat to go and watch his his peers and idols play and shit, you know, and then pull up to the after spot with a bunch of white women. Right, right. When it's metal on dog, like, what the fuck, dude. Do you mention it, you said it, you mentioned it on on social media earlier. Or the yesterday, but seeing Deborah Booker out there with the Tigers had that shit was fucking awesome. It was just, it was just, you know, I was, I was really there for the race, for the running, for the, for the races, you know, I always love to see those. I'm always in awe of how athletic swimmers are. Like, the motherfuckers are ripped dog and it's just crazy, especially like water polo. Like, you have to be swimming the whole fucking time, dude. That shit's crazy. But throwing a goddamn ball and shit. Yeah. And so just to see the athleticism of these, these players and to, and to know the training and stuff of them that took, it took for them to get there, man. Like, it's just the commitment that they have to their bodies to the commitment they have to, you know, to, to the country to go over and perform and it's, it's, it's all, and I guess maybe I'm just getting older now that I never really thought about that. And to this Olympics, you know, you know, you see people form and, you know, it's just a performance. It used to be just a performance, but now just to see, you know, to understand how would it takes for them to get there you had, and to know that, you know, everybody going, everybody going to the Olympics. Isn't like notable stars in their hometowns or even in their sport. If they, a lot of people don't have a finances order, you had the one chick. I want to say she did shot, but I'm not sure she did something that was one of the ones I really don't pay attention to them. But she mentioned something about not being able to pay a rent and fucking school or some shit or and so fucking. They say he would pay a rent for the year. He's like, we'll need you to have that, that thought of not being able to do it. And then, what's the name chimed into my he wanted to pay half. Serene Williams husband. Just, just, just like a white man to come in and want to take the shine off some shit anyway. I don't make a rant about that. But I don't know, I feel like homeboy gets away with so much shit because he's married just Serene, but that's a whole another podcast. But yeah, so he came and said he would pay half as well. Just knowing that, you know, also, so wait, he came to the inferior offer. Like, Flavor Flav said he paid a whole thing for a year and then this rich nigga said he come and pay half. Yeah, he retweeted some shit saying, let me get half on it or some crazy shit. Oh, okay. Well, don't come back up with a lesser offer nigga. He was saying, I'll go half. He's like, I'll go half with you or some shit. Okay. That's better. Let's try to steal shine though. Yeah. Just do that or message him on the side or some shit or whatever the fuck. That being a typical white man is shit. Right. Yeah. But, yeah. So, but, you know, and so just now understanding, I think that I'm just old enough and mature enough to under just seeing, you know, these people got there but they took so much to get there. Cool to see their journeys and, you know, to come up, you know, with ultimately, you know, medals and, you know, that shit's awesome and they're going to remember that shit for a lifetime and shit. Yeah. Yeah, man. It was a great, it was a great couple of weeks, man. Like, I enjoy watching sports that I don't normally get to see also. Like, I watched archery. That was cool. I watched rugby. That was fun. Water polos when I've always watched like that was when I first got on like a long time ago and I was like, well, this is a cool sport. And then every summer Olympics, I'll be like, we're a water polo. And this is actually this year actually is where I watched the least water polo. Like, I watched a little bit of water polo but like not a lot, but this because I was so into all the other stuff. I was like, well, I got everything now, whereas normally you limited to whatever's on, you know what I'm saying? Like on TV, like, you know, but now with peacock, I can watch everything. So I was like, it's too many options for me to watch only water polo and basketball. And we were in gymnastics. We watch all other stuff. In between Olympics now too. Like, I'm like, now I want to see, like, what's what is what is no no I was going to do for the next four years. Because they hate this nigga dog like that they got a big mouth dog. Nobody liked this nigga like what is he, and then he got sick. He had the whole thing getting COVID and he finished third and his, his go to race. The one that he was supposed to win. Like, what's he gonna do for the next four years, you know, I want to just fucking be great man get a bronze and some shit that you got fucking COVID in and still fucking did this shit. Man, I ain't nothing to hang your hat on. I mean, granted that was what he's supposed to do. But he got a fucking goal. And you can't take that away. And okay, fuck it. He got a bronze and that shit. But man, I got a bronze on COVID nigga. Like, in a sport in the sport that requires the most lungs. Yeah, women like man, like think about it. You got you want a bronze and in a sport that however many motherfuckers race fucking in top health and didn't get them fucking metal. Right. Like that's the shit as I would be the motherfuckers who came after him should be ashamed of themselves. Like, man, you were the four years that was as trained in the hardest you could to get smoked by a nigga with COVID. Damn. You got to go. You just, you can't want to go back because you got smoked by a motherfucker that got COVID. Yeah. Is he going to be healthy? Yeah. Why ain't going? Nike did a good commercial as basically talking about the women's basketball. And it was saying something like something to the effect of you trained for four years only to know you're going to be second place. Man. Crazy. Yeah, that's her. Yeah. Her six fucking one because she had a picture that had she has six fingers up and I didn't understand it until shortly after. But yeah. That's a long time. Yeah. That's 24 years and basketball eight shit. Yeah. That's 24 years. That's a whole grown ass drinking human. She just been winning medals. A whole drinking human. That's nuts. No, when I started playing at a decent level too. I mean, when I saw her name, I was like, is she like honorary? Because I'm like, I know Diana Tarasi ain't still good enough to be on his team. She got to be old as shit. She was out there. Yeah, that was fun too, man. So yeah, I'm, I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to watching some of these people, you know, in the time in between 2028. And yeah, man, it was fun. I really enjoyed that shit. No, it was a hell of a Olympics, man. I was able to see this much as you seen. I saw a lot that I really enjoyed. And so I can just imagine as much as you, you watch some of this last couple of weeks. But I was tuned in the valley ball. Fuck man. It's just so many of the sports that I really like to watch and just seeing athleticism with them. And yeah, man, it was a cool time and for years in LA. There was the new ones that I hadn't seen before like handball like I hadn't seen handball before. I still couldn't even figure out the rules to that shit. I'll have to read up on that shit. That's it. It was like watching the new kickoff rule and NBA, but for a whole game. Like I didn't understand what the fuck like I would see. Did you see men's can only seen women handball? Yeah, I saw men's. Okay, I never seen the men. Every time I looked up, it was women's. And so I could see them like, you can get contact with a person, but then if you threw it to the ground, it was a call, but it seemed like there was enough. And I didn't know if that was like the ref letting them play as we say in basketball, or that's just how the rules is. So, yeah, there was a lot of cool shit going on. Yeah, that was a little weird, but yeah, man, like watching new stuff like adding them adding new stuff like they added like a three on three, which I watched a little bit of that, but I watched, I watched a couple of games that that was, you know, it was kind of cool. It reminded me of like the Gus Mackeren should do you remember the Gus Mackeren? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it reminded me to go. I mean, I, obviously the three on three ice cubes stuff, but it just, I just remember, I remember going up to Oakland University, my uncle just to go there. I used to go up there and watch them play in a tournament. It was pretty cool. Yeah, it was like, it was weird for me to be watching the Olympics, but seeing what I see is like street rules. Yeah. Like, oh, you got to take it back. Like, oh, you got to take it back. I bought it behind a three point line. Like, all right, check, check it. Yeah, exactly. That shit was dope, man. I, I, like you say, I can't say enough good things about the Olympic man. It was, it was pretty fucking cool. I was happy to be to watch as much as I did. Yeah, and that's why I said when I was going through my list of things that I liked about it. That's why I said the events because I'm like if somebody got peacock and they want to. On there, you can go replay anything, dogs are like, if anybody wanted to watch any of the things they could. Oh, and then I also liked the, did you watch the Kevin Hart and. No, that's the thing I wanted to find, but I said, I can't watch it off pick up. Yeah, I heard that was pretty good. Man, those are so funny. Those are so fucking funny, man. I haven't even watched all of them yet. I think there's eight of them. And I think I've watched four. Oh, like, man, that's, I'm actually okay. I might watch that after we done because I said that that shit had me crying laughing sometimes. Oh, it doesn't exist. It's funny, man. And I like that. I like Keenan like this, though, because I'm so used to Keenan doing like, like family friendly shit, like when he was on all that, and then he's on Keena Kale, even on SNL, he's still kind of like, like safe humor almost. But on the shit with Kevin Hart, he'd be like, our rate of this shit. I'm like, oh, I like this Keenan. Yeah, Keenan's came along, wait, man. And it's cool to see he's found the space for comedy and, you know, he's getting the bag. So yeah, kudos to him, dude. It's funny because like, we can wrap up. I'm not going to talk about this that long, but like, did you watch all that as a kid? Yeah, yeah, I did. Like, I always like, I thought I liked Keenan and Kale, like as, I mean, the individuals that I'm not talking about the show. I also liked the show, but right now I'm talking about the individuals. I liked Keenan and Kale, but like as kids, I just thought like, okay, they're like kid funny, like they're not funny funny, right? They're just like, okay, like they're funny for kids. And then when Keenan started doing SNL, it was kind of just like, okay, I'll watch him on SNL, sometimes he's funny, it's still Keenan, whatever. But like on this thing that on the stuff he do with Kevin Hart, where he doesn't have to be like safe like he has to be on SNL, I really come to appreciate how good he is with comedy from like a, like a timing perspective, like he has really good timing. He has really good. Well, it's hard for me to describe, but it's things that like you can kind of take for granted in a comedian, but when I see him in this kind of like new setting, I can see him in kind of a different light. Because I mean, really, I've only seen him in sketch comedy, really, right? So like, I haven't really seen him doing like, I would call it stand up, but you know what I'm saying? Like doing this kind of thing, like not doing sketch and shit. And when he's not doing sketches and shit like that, you can see how good he is comedically. And I'm like, to me, it's dope to be like, man, I've watched this nigga since he was a fucking, like I'm, I'm pretty sure we older than him. Like, I've been watching this by the fuckers since he was a kid. And now he, at least he might, I don't know, he might be older than us. I don't know, around our age. He's undoubtedly probably in his 40s. Like, watching this motherfucker who was a kid be this good, like, comedically, like on the Olympics and shit, it's like, man, I've been watching this nigga all this time and now, now look at him, now look at him. And it's like, man, that even that was dope. Like, man, this nigga's funny as fuck, naw, this man, he up here on the Olympics on Peacock with Kevin Hart, and it's the same nigga that I've been watching since he was fucking 12 years old and shit. And he's only two years older than me, so. No, so he's older than I thought. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, no, I think him, I think he was that old. I just had to look it up because I was really curious. I feel like we were close in age. I thought he was younger than us because I feel like he, I felt like I was older than him when I was watching him all that, but I guess not. Yeah, man. What the fuck? What mosquitoes came through here? Basses fuck. What the fuck are you asking for? I swear to God, when I become Emperor of the world, I'm killing mosquitoes, nigga, that's it. That's the first law I'm passing is world emperor is all mosquitoes need to be eradicated. I don't care what else, what other purpose they serve like I eat spiders that I don't have a fuck. All mosquitoes out. We'll figure out another way to get whatever the fuck they do because fuck the fuck mosquitoes. Mm hmm. I was out, but he hasn't done that already. I was out Saturday night. Right. When the wife said outside the bonfire Saturday night and fucking yesterday, we were like, why are we all these fucking mosquitoes? Oh, he didn't even feel them bitches hit this dog. I like to toe the fuck up. Like, what the fuck? That's how I am all the time. I never fell on. Man, I talk with a whole bunch of mosquito bites like fuck some whole shit. Yeah, man, I'm telling you, I'm like, I'm gonna put that as an issue for for Kamala Harris now. Like, what's your plan for mosquitoes? Like, hey, what? Yeah, like they get on my nerves. What you gonna do about this? I don't even want to talk about that border shit. What about the mosquitoes? Right. Can you pass a law to eradicate these motherfuckers, please? Let's take care of the mosquitoes. And then we can deal with this other shit later. I need the mosquitoes dealt with. Yeah. I think we can worry about the border. I'll say wild as hell. I like the Mexicans about McDonald's. I don't like the mosquitoes. Let's get a strong mosquito policy in. Let's build an electric wall around the whole United States. And not for other people, it's for the fucking mosquitoes. All right, let's make a door for them, but they just make a wall off of the mosquitoes. Fuck them shit. A giant bug zapper that covers the United States. If you don't, if you're not doing that, I'm voting for somebody else. Jill, Jill Stein better have a fucking mosquito plan, boy. I swear to God. All right. Well, Donald Trump, I'm up. You know what we need to do? Are you giving them mosquitoes? Oh, shit. I'm having to vote for Trump. You got to get the knife. You got to get the knife from Delvin, too, when it happens. Get that knife. Everybody hates them. Everybody hates mosquitoes. That's what they say. Yeah. All right, man, I guess we can wrap up there. Yeah. All right, well folks, next week. - Yep. - Peace. - Peace.
