Welcome back to the base me are today me and Danny are hanging out in my living room as always
I don't know why I said that like that's something new. I am drinking though because I
have it in a while and
Today's kind of a weird day so far. So we're gonna. What do you got? What do you got going there sippy sip sippy sip sip?
What do you got going there?
It's actually one of my favorite beers what's on that a lion
Yeah, it's a lion. What a crown. It's called pile of crowns
It's good pile of crowns. That's a man. That's manly beer. Yeah, I mean, you know
Nothing wrong with a manly beard. I'm a manly guy a beer a manly beard would be great
I wish I can grow a manly beard. You don't have a manly beard. Nah
It's a little patchy. It's a little patchy. Would you say I have a manly beard?
I would say you have a more full beard than me for sure
I think I have good stubble, but as far as a beard goes. I think I'm not built for that sort of thing
What's the farthest like for me like what's the farthest you think you could grow it out?
or would
I
Would love to have just like a lumberjack fucking beard. Yeah, and be yoked
Yeah, but the yoked has to come first. I hear you because that's way harder
It's not gonna help with me drinking beers on the show, but I have to be jacked
First right then you can grow out the beard. Yeah, you know being jacked and having a beers
You're up there. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah
What's the longest you've ever had your beard? Um, I grew it out
I think like two or three years ago for no shave November and it got pretty like it wasn't big
It was just like full
But I'm like Irish so I get like random red hairs. Yeah, so you can see like what what is it?
I get little red hairs, too. Yeah, I don't like it. I found my first white hair
White or gray white white
All right, it was it was gray and white in my beard
Three of them
That's kind of sexy though. Yeah, I guess if the if the rest of it would come in looking normal
Yeah, I have grays on the side of my head. Yeah, that's kind of hot though, too
Though you're gonna be a silver fox like by the time you're 35. That's not fire at all
Who wants to be fucking silver by 35? I don't think I'll be so no you'll be peppery
There were definitely me some pepper. It'll be peppered. I'll be salt. Yeah, you the S&P'd yeah
Would you ever like if you were getting grays say like?
Half if you're gonna ask me if I'm dying it. No, no, yeah, would you would you would you like just for a minute at what age like 35?
Probably throw one in there. I think 40. I'm okay with my hair being gray a 40
I'm okay with being fat a bad father out of shape
Just all those things cuz like 40 is like listen
Don't bother me. I'm just like bundled into one. So those are some life goals
Let me live out my next 40 years on the couch watching the game yelling at the Giants and the Knicks, okay?
Cuz the hard works should be done already
Hopefully by that point most of it
But I'm talking about like kids and like shit like that. What's my kids like?
10
Not my problem, right? I tried yeah, all right now you could send them to school most of the time
Take care of my kid. How like I was gonna ask again. How old are you when you're 10?
But like what ages that that's fifth grade
What grade is that? I mean I think fourth or fifth grade. I was walking to school by then. Yeah. Yeah, so fuck
Do you ever think like school basically they're kind of please any teachers don't get offended by this
Oh, this is gonna be good. No, but it's public school. It's like
It's kind of like thank God cuz you could drop your kid off there
And be like you don't have to worry about where they are. Oh, yeah, it's the daycare center
It is it's like some benefits. Thank God. I get to leave my kid here for free and it's gonna learn
Sign me the fuck up. It does my job for me. Yeah, it doesn't my job for me
Yeah, I can't teach this kid how to fucking divide. Yeah, I'm so afraid to help my children with their homework, dude
It's going to be
Awful dude, I mean you saw it. We took an eighth grade test. We took a fifth grade test. I
Mean I I shit it on the eighth grade test. Yeah
I was I was I was taking but I was taken back. I was jealous. I was a little jealous the fifth grade test though
I had a little blue trumps. Yeah. Yeah trouble. Well, you're closer to being an eighth grade than you were in fifth grade
So that's why I just you know came to you a little easier. I guess so but I think a little bit more of that knowledge
I was way smarter in fifth grade than I was an eighth grade eighth grade. I was a fucking idiot. Do you think?
Like as humans like
Obviously, we have the ability to become smarter, but I'm trying to think of like
At an older age, do you think there's ways that like you can learn how to retain knowledge better?
What the fuck does that mean retain knowledge? No, I know what that means, but like what do you mean like?
Is there a way to learn like you know like apps like luma sit like
Luma city shit like that like brain exercises brain exercises. Well, yeah, believe in like that type of stuff
Absolutely that you can get your brain to a point where you could like
Say like cuz on the type of person if I read a book
And I put it down. I don't remember anything that I read
But I think you do like subconsciously like maybe you don't remember the exact plot
But you are training your you're using your brain you're training it. I think it's like a muscle. Yeah, so it's kind of like those
You know, I think it's like anything. It's muscle muscle memory, right?
You know, so if you are doing like luma city or like, you know shit like that
I find that on days that I actually find time to read
Yeah, I feel like
If I do that consistently like I'm having like a really good week, right?
And I don't know if that's because like I'm usually waking up earlier and then you know finding time to read so I'm like
Clearly ahead on things and you know, but do you think it creates some kind of a placebo effect within you though?
Like throughout the week, uh, maybe but but a placebo effects to me
a placebo
Technically has real effects. Yeah, I agree because whatever you it's scientifically proven
Right a placebo like if I'm telling you like oh, I have a headache and you give me like
Oh, here's a a Tylenol, but it's a skittle
And I don't fucking know and I take it and I feel better
It worked because the psycho like, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, for sure
Like my perception is what it is. Yeah. Yeah, so like that's what like
I mean before we get into that, uh
Because you brought reading and this is this is gonna drop on new year's new year's eve new year's eve
So like no one's listening to this
This might be our lowest fucking
We should phone it in after like 20 minutes. Yeah, that's fine, but uh
Like I want to see
This is so it's such a stupid resolution. This is this is gonna make it one of my new year's resolutions is to get smarter
Oh my god
And by get smarter, I mean like
Learn more about like culture
Like like other countries cultures and like and read more
That's one of my new year's resolutions is to read about other cultures of the world and how other parts of the world work
Yeah, but I don't think that makes you smarter. I think that just makes you like cultured cultured
You want to be more culture that's smarter. I don't think I could get smart
No, you can of course you can get smarter
You do technically get smarter every day. You learn new things every day unless you just you know
Yeah, I I don't know it's tough for me
Well, I I have a tough time. I went through a phase. I went through a phase where I told people where I wanted to have like, uh
I wanted to extend my vocabulary. Yeah, and but you you do you do that by reading. Well, I do that now
I do word of the day
I mean, yeah, if you're nine, that's how you do it
Yeah, basically
I gotta start somewhere. You gotta start somewhere. You gotta build a foundation. I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this
When it comes to me, I know
I know my ceiling. Yeah, you know
It's not that high, but but yeah, I'm a very
Savvy person street savvy person. Sure. I'm very intelligent. Yeah, don't let it fool you
but
When it comes to like reading books, you can't read not great
I can read fully. I'm a fully educated man. I know you can read but like
I'll read one page of a book and be like, uh, uh
I can't do this. It's something you have to
Does that make me dumb though? No
I think a part of it does
Why does that make you dumb?
Because a part of me feels dumb that I don't even have the capacity to pick up a book and read it
It's not the capacity. You have the capacity. You just don't have the urge. You don't have the need the want
You don't find it satisfying. Some people find it satisfying. I read to force myself to be
Uncomfortable, which is why I do certain things in my life because I feel like I've never really I haven't had to answer to anyone
Since I dropped out of college. Yeah, really
So it was like good decision, mother of what dropping out of college. Yeah
Yeah, thank god for that
Thank god that worked out. But anyway, no, but I'm saying like I do certain things
Like remember when I was talking about how I was running a lot because I hate running. Yeah, and uh, I read because I'm not necessarily a person who
Is like, oh my god, the book was so much better than the movie like I fucking hate people like that
Yeah, like even if it's true, I'll say that to me right because most of the time I'm talking about the movie
Oh, the movie was dope. It's like yeah, but the book was better. It's like why you got shit on me
Yeah, just let me have the movie. Oh
You didn't read all the harry potter books. You just saw the movie suck my ass
I can't wait for the new season of game of thrones. Yeah, I read the books. I can't wait either. Shut the fuck up
Yeah, I want to see how I want to see how close they say to the actual book
I'm like, dude
Fuck you. Fuck you and george rr martin. Yeah, and the other thing too is I'm I'm jealous of people that like I'll see on the train
And they're reading and they're reading and they actually look like they're genuinely enjoying reading
Well, people in genuinely enjoy I think it's it's sort of uh
Relaxing in a way therapeutic. I find it a little bit therapeutic. I you know what it is
I also feel very accomplished after I do something that I hate doing like when I go running
Like immediately after like I'm tired, but like you know, I'm
My wind is there now. My stamina is pretty good. So after I'm done. I'm not like super tired anymore
But every single time I feel like
I did it like I'm I did that whatever and if I read for 30 to 45 minutes an hour or whatever a day
I feel like
Very good about myself afterwards and that just kind of propels you into the rest of the day. I feel like like another like
Another new year's resolution. I'm messing with too is uh
I want to start waking up earlier
What time do you usually wake up?
Uh
If I'm being honest, hold on. Let me let me let me ask you this. Okay
What's the latest you've slept in the past year?
Into a day
Yeah, and I'm talking about like even if you were drunk as fuck or whatever like one or two in the afternoon
okay
I've never like slept into the night and like thought it was the next day
What would you say you're uh
What do they call that the human clock your your uh eternal clock eternal clock?
What is your like eternal clock at well a time? Well, it switches. Um
Like
Say I have a week where I fall asleep at
3 30 in the morning
Like uh because I was playing red dev redemption like couldn't go to sleep right
I'm fucked for two weeks
Because now I will not be able to fall asleep until 3 30 in the morning
For the rest of that week. So I would get now I'm going on like six or seven hours of sleep
The earliest that I could wake up and be functional would be like 9 30 or 10 o'clock
Which is way too late for me. I think for someone to start their day
Yes, I haven't seen 10 o'clock and I don't know how long it's a it's a I think it's a it's also a millennial type of thing
like
Like starting your work day later
I think because like our era is like
Our parents era was like you woke up at five o'clock in the morning. You were like out the door
Was it yes
My father was always out the door at 6 37 o'clock. He wrote a newspaper that even worked like
Well, my mom she gets up early. She's an early riser for sure
So am I though like if I don't set an alarm and I go out drinking
Yeah, and I'm drunk as hell and I get home at 3 I will be up
At 8 the latest right like I my my eternal clock right now internal clock. Yeah
It eternal clock that sounds mad like eternal clock. Yeah, it sounds like like I'm gonna die sounds like a spell. Yeah
Yo, hold on. Do you remember that website back in the day? It was called like
Like it was like the time you're gonna die. Yeah, what was that called? I can't remember, but I know you're talking about
It was like something clock.com. Do you remember that other article that thing too? It was like a fake news article
website
no
it was like you you would type in uh like
The website and then add like joe plus santa gato and it would put your name in a new that I died
Yeah, that you died. Yeah, it was weird. Yeah, I remember it was called like
What the fuck's that called? It's something clock.com and you put your name in and it would just tell you like when you're gonna die and it would have like
You know this many years this many days this many minutes and seconds. This is creepy
But what the fuck are we talking about? Oh my my my internal clock. Are you are you afraid to die?
Yeah, you know what it is. I'm not I'm not necessarily afraid
I'm just definitely not like ready and I know that's like obvious because I'm only 26 years old right
But I just really feel like I'd be so mad because I have so much shit that I want to do
I'd be so mad. Yeah, but like I feel like at a certain point
I won't be mad if it happens
But I just I would be so mad because I feel like I'm just getting to a point where I could get so much shit done
Right, you know and I really want to do that stuff and like see it through like I would really be upset
Like if I get murdered, I'd be so mad at that person. Right that they murdered me
You know what I would be too. Yeah, I'd be very upset at it. No, but hold on
I want to say like what my internal clock right now is like 7 15. Yeah, but I've been pushing it backwards
You mean you yeah, you're waking up earlier. I want to get I want to get it earlier. Do you think?
You're obviously there's more hours in a day, but it's really what you do with those hours
Mm-hmm, but would you say people that wake up earlier or more successful people?
Well, I think it goes back to what you're saying
It depends on what you do at those hours like if you're up early and it's for no reason then why yeah, you know, whatever
But yeah, no for me. That's like because I would love to wake up earlier
I would love to start my days realistically like 6 30 in the morning
Yeah, that's a normal time
Like I would yeah, I would even aim for for earlier so that you're nuts
No, because the the rock wakes up at like four in the morning
I woke up before in the morning of the other day like a 4 15
And I was like why though? Well, I was going into the gym at five
But it was like my semi-long for 4 45, but I woke up at 4 15
And like this whole week well last week
I was trying to wake up at five every single day to go to the gym because my cousin and espo. They go to the gym at five
Uh because they have to for work and because yes because have to go to work
So I was like I want to do that
I want to get I want to get my clock a little earlier because usually I'm in the gym by eight nine o'clock
And you know, whatever well now you mean your hair like usually at nine, so I'll go at eight or something
But I want to go at five like I want to be up at that time
And I love being up at that time like you're leaving the gym and it's still dark out
It's like, you know, I have the entire day to do whatever and you just feel way more productive
And if you're someone like me, I mean, I'm just in one of my
Fucking modes where I'm just like work work work work. Well, you're going beast mode these days
Yeah, so I'm like I really love the fact that I can get all those hours and be like, yo
Fuck it and like I've been saying this to people all the time
Like as far as anything that makes you uncomfortable and something you don't like doing but you wish you could do
Yeah
I do stuff little stuff like that all the time. Like I said the running thing the reading thing like those things
I don't really like I think that's a good start for me though. I think that's a good starting point for me
Is six thirty is to start waking up earlier wake up at six then
I'll try that's like my that's like one of my main new year's resolutions
And then my other one is to is to get in the gym
so
So a suggestion what I did last week because I didn't make it to the gym
But my alarm was set for for 30 every day
Yeah, and I'd hit my alarm
And I you know, whatever
And then I'd fall back asleep or like little snooze
I've never snoozed. I don't know nothing wrong with a snooze. I don't snooze. I like shut it off
and
uh, you know, whatever so
I shut it off and then sometimes and then three days in a row. I fell back asleep or
One of those days. I was just like I just can't like I just don't I'm not feeling it
Right, so I just went back to sleep and like that's discouraging and you get fucking mad at yourself
But you keep setting that alarm and then eventually it becomes easier and easier to wake up
You have a little more energy when the fucking alarm clock goes off and you're like, all right
Like today and then that other day I woke up at 10 after four and I was like, oh, I'm wired
But the thing is is like if I wake up at five or six
I have to have something to do
Because if I wake up and there's nothing to do going back to sleep dog go to the gym going back to sleep go to the gym
That's what I got to start doing or go for a run. That's what I got to start doing. Dude, you know how like
You know how fucking I can't I can't just you feel I can't run though. I can't I can't whatever do something
Yeah, like extra I can do elliptical some easier on my back. Jesus. What are you like a 70 year old woman?
Do that talk about my back again? I'll tell you this my back is fucked. Okay. I I actually bought running shoes
Oh, yes, which was my start because here's another I feel like I'm only telling my resolutions
I'll get my resolutions out. Then you'll do yours. Okay. Um, so mine was I would like to be more cultured
We settled on that word
um
I would like to wake up earlier. Yeah
On weekdays. Okay. Maybe even on weekends too, but let's start for weekdays
um
I want to exercise. Yeah, like actually get into like a routine
um
And the other one was
Be a little better with money
Oh, yeah, that's a big that's a big one for me. Yeah coming up this year. Yes
Because as I'm going
You know
I'm gonna make more money
I don't know about that
At some point at some point I would hope we're coming up on a year
Hopefully something guys. Come on guys push for me. Everyone always push for me
Everyone always comments like yo, so you got to give Danny a rate. I'm like, yo, it's never gonna happen. No, but it's like
But it's like it's one of those things where
The essentials of life. Oh boy the essentials of life really
Don't involve like owning like 700 pairs of shoes
Absolutely not. You know what I mean? Not even close and
My thing was is that listen like like we talked about it real briefly before like if you're afraid to die or whatever
Like what what I went through
um
I've accepted
death
Jesus relax evanescence. No
I've accepted death. No, and here's here's why because I went through a fucking period where I was so
Afraid to die all the time when I was going to the hospital like every night
I the thing that helped my anxiety and panic like really a lot besides like therapy and shit like that was like
You know if I die I die
That's what I said to you
Yeah, and and and it's been one of the most beneficial things to me because I was like, yo if I die
I'm just gonna die. Yeah, I don't want to die. No, but if it's like, yo, if you fucking die and you're asleep tonight, dude
That's all she wrote. Yeah, you can't control that the fact that I realized that like
There's certain things you can control in life and certain things you can't death's not death's not one
Yeah, you can't control that
So my thing is is that the things that I can control though is waking up earlier
Trying to culture myself a little bit more read a little more
exercise more
and kind of think about my future
A little bit more besides like when the next jordan releases is coming. Let me ask you something right
How many of these things are actually gonna happen? Um, I'm gonna start with one and here's why
Which one starting next week, I'm gonna start my new year's resolutions a week early
Why aren't you starting tomorrow? Because here's why
I like that you said that
The reason I'm not starting tomorrow is because I have some other things that I have to do
Like edit a couple shows and I know like I'll be pushing into like the late night hours to do that
So when it comes Christmas week, that's gonna be the week where I'm gonna try and start
waking up
at
Give me six thirty
Hey
You wanted six thirty. That's what I want. This isn't about what you want. Yeah, sure
It's it's six thirty if you if you shoot for six, you'll get six thirty. Okay. So all right six
You will stand up at six thirty. Yeah, I will I will stand out of bed at six. Just just let that alarm hit at six a.m
Every day or you know what let that should have hit at five fifty five just so you could get the five
Yeah, that'll make you feel nice
My alarms at five fifty five you get you get to hit the five the five is like elite
Yeah, if your alarm set at five every day
That is that is one thing. Yeah, and I know there's like a study or something that says like successful people wake up
Something astronomically ridiculous
I'm like four a.m. Or some shit like four whatever and like four thirty or some forget who it is
But there's a company that has like a youtube channel. They put out this video
It's like everything you do in a day, right and they had like Michael B. Jordan on there
They had vanity fair vanity fair. It was Michael B. Jordan
Mark Cuban mark Cuban terry cruise. Yeah, all these dudes are waking up at like five thirty six clock
Crushing it. Yeah, so it's like there has to be a correlation between
Waking up and crushing it
I don't think it's the act of waking up. I think it's what I was talking about where it's
It's
The will to make yourself uncomfortable
Because that's the only way that you can
Move forward and progress is like people tell you all the time like you fail a hundred times or like right right or like, you know
It's it gets uh worse before it gets better. It's like it's all suffering. Yeah that leads to a
Good part and and some progression there and I really believe that and that's why I go out of my way to make sure that
I feel uncomfortable because
Like the last two years of my life
I was extremely comfortable right and I slacked off on everything and I completely lost myself
And do you do you think that you needed to go through that period to kind of get to where you're at now?
No, I don't think it was necessary
So you think you kind of that's like a wasted part of your life. You think I don't think no
No, I don't think it's wasted. I just think that it was the not the most productive part of my life
It's you know, you you go through waves and I'm not going to sit here and act like I'm fucking fixed or whatever
Like it just comes in waves
Yeah, I just happened to be on a really good kick and like even when I was going through that I knew it
Right. I knew what I was doing. You were aware of it. Yeah, but I just it's hard to just like have the will to get yourself out of it
but it's like that's why
I think if you're asking me today, I feel like it won't happen again because I do things now purposefully
to not
Feel comfortable like I'll go running or like if I have nothing to do like I'll go do something that I don't want to do
Right, you know like
Whatever or even if I if I don't want to go even the little things like that
Like I don't really want to go out tonight. I'd rather just stay in like I'm gonna go out. Yeah
I was you know, dude like just getting in the it I literally compared to to football because
When I went to football camp in high school
It's suffering dude every single day. It's awful like we did three days
I had to be on the field at eight
Which mean you had to be up at six
And I wouldn't need that was another thing too. So then and then you would practice, you know eat lunch practice
Eat dinner get on a bus drive to our home field and then do your last practice there
So it was a lot. I fucking miss it so much
But anyway, so that whole like experience of that of being extremely uncomfortable and literally your entire day
And life is dedicated to this thing. Right
That teaches you a lot about discipline and like all these things and it's like that was cool for like high school
And then you forget about it. Obviously. Well, you also get to do it with like 40 other people. Sure
Which helps it's like, yeah, we're all in this together
But I'm saying it's just the idea of being uncomfortable. Yeah, and and forcing yourself to do things that you don't necessarily like
Would prefer to do right is helpful. Well, that's something that I had to do and then like my fifth one was
Like I want to I want to help people with their mental health
I want to be like a little like a bit of an advocate for that
Trying to help people with that. That's so hot. Yeah, uh, I just think what I went through this year was like
I thought I looked at it as such a negative part of my life
But now like I look at it as such as such a positive
Because I went through that and I got through that
so
I want to take that energy into 2019 and just be like, I know how to deal with this and I want to help
I want to help people with that shit
Because I think that listen, I'm not, you know, I'm not Oprah Winfrey
but like
I would like to hear people's stories and I would like to help them through their situations
because I think it's
As weird as it is people look at people like us as as we're normal guys
That have have same problems as other people, you know
So it's like it'd be something that I would like to definitely
Take on and take on a role and do that. So it's a lot of resolutions
Yeah, but I don't look at I don't really look at that one as a resolution
I look at that as more of just the way I live my life and just
Being open about myself like that. All those are just yeah life. Well, that's what resolutions are
Yeah, they're life changes and and I don't think any of them are astronomically difficult
Yeah, a lot of it just depends on the drive that I have with them myself
I would have to believe in myself to do these things right and
Going through what I went through shows me that I could do that. You know
Don't cry pussy
Don't cry. Yeah, I saw I thought you were getting a little teary-eyed right there. What the fuck would I cry?
You're waking up. God bless. You never cry. I cry all the time. Yeah, right. I'm not all the time
Oh, sir. I'm not afraid to cry. So
All right, you're right wake up wake wake up cultured gym. Yep. Um, oh my god
Help people with their mental health for I could do those
Good and that I'm gonna leave it at that anything other than that. I might get some anxiety, right?
Yeah
And and be a little smarter with my money. Yeah. Yeah, that's five all very doable all very doable
Most would say yes. Yes. All right. So what do you what do you got for me? What are my resolutions? Yeah, um
I don't know
Way to come prepare for the show joe. I mean, you know what it is
It's just I I feel like I'm in a really good place right now. So I feel like
To just keep it up would be
my sort of resolution because I always do fall out of
A good rhythm that I have okay, and I never like keep it truly consistent
But I feel like because I just went through a like a
Bad thing as well. Right like, you know with the move and everything
And we talked about that how I was like whatever it was just a lot of shit. Yeah
So I had to fucking pull myself out of this
Shitty place. Yeah, and kind of fix everything. So right now. I'm just like all right. I'm good
Like I did a lot of resolutions like a couple months early
So I guess it's just like kind of keeping it up. But one thing I will say is that I want 2019 to be
the
best year
possible as far as
like
Business wise and just like happiness wise. I would love for that to happen. I don't know everyone's has that going
Trying to get that money. Yeah trying to get that month. Yeah feel you on that. Let me just get a piece
We're gonna piece. Oh my gosh a little bigger piece. You want a bigger piece a little bigger piece
Ungrateful pieces of shit. I will shake that ass. I'll get out there. I'll do what I gotta do
Crack some heads wake up at six o'clock shake my ass. Yeah, we'll see that we'll see that when that happens
What'd I just say? I don't know
Do you ever wake up at five o'clock and just be like, I know Danny's sleeping
No, I never think about that. No, no, you're just like this fucking kid. Where is he?
Dude, I'm I've been so like happy lately with what I've been doing because it's like night and day
Compared to what the fuck I was doing. I mean, I could see it in your everyday energy. Like I know when you're like
man
Yeah
And and you're you're glowing you're glowing sweetheart. Am I glowing sweetheart? You're glowing. You're glowing. I appreciate that
No, yeah, I think that everyone has the same sort of things where it's like, oh, I'm gonna get into shape
I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna eat healthier. I didn't say I was gonna get into shape
Let's make that I'm gonna go to the gym
But I don't know yeah, I'm just saying I'm going to start exercising because I feel like if you set these goals
Of like I want to look like the fucking like mark wallberg and the Calvin Klein ad. No, it's little it's consistency though, dude
I just want to make sure that I'm not gonna have a heart attack when I'm 42 years old
No, I think you should set you should you have a standard that this is how I usually do things
Right. I'll and I'm not saying you have to do it my way, but this is your house. I usually do it
I want to be here. Mm-hmm. So where's here though? What is that?
Well, I'll go
I'll go vertical. I was like, okay. I was like, this is like over here. I have a thing up
It would be the better place to go if I if I want to be here. Okay, right? I'm comfortable sitting here
I will train for here. Okay
And that's not to say just so like, you know, you're physical fitness. I'm just saying anything. Yeah, if I want this
I'll shoot here. Yeah, because then like
If you land somewhere in between that you got more than you than you wanted
um
So, yeah, I just think that
You know as far as New Year's resolutions, I know they're all like
For the most part they have that stigma of being bullshit
You know, everyone's like, yeah, I'm gonna do this do that and then like January 1st
There's a thousand people in the gym, which is terrible all the time
Yeah, never go to the gym on January 1st or just like January 2nd 3rd 4th
just, you know, obviously I'm gonna be there, but
You know, there's definitely more people
Yeah, and then you're like, all right. I'll never see this person again by February. They're all out of there
Not even like it's literally like a week. Yeah
Yeah, and I always say that too. That's another thing. So like back going to the uncomfortableness thing
That I was saying
If you do something that makes you super uncomfortable
Uh, for a week. Yeah
Then
I feel like it becomes habitual at that point at least for in my experience
Maybe it'll take a little longer for people and by the way when I say uncomfortable. I don't mean like
You know what I mean
I'm saying like you don't want to like go to like a room full of like a bunch of like little people having sex
Like that uncomfortable. Oh, so we just got a glimpse into your fucking
What I'm just saying that I would be uncomfortable
If I walk into a room and saw a bunch of little people having sex
That's an uncomfortable situation. I mean, it's a it's a I would say it's a rare situation
It's a rare situation, but it'd be uncomfortable
But you're talking more along the lines like skydiving. No, I'm talking about like
Things you don't prefer to do
Like if you're a person like a couch potato
Yeah, like I like your friend has a party
Well, it's just things that you that you want to do but you don't know how to do it or you're like
Whatever like if you're a person who's like you're a couch potato
You're usually home, but you like going out sometimes
But you just don't have that urge because there's a lot of times where even me like back when I was at my old apartment
I'd be home and people were like, yeah, let's go out and it's like I'm the kind of type of dude that I love going out
I love being there and I'm like the life of the party and like let's do a boba
But I won't because I just like can't get myself to come up off the couch for some reason
And it's just like on those those times you just have to be like
Dude just fucking do it and just make yourself uncomfortable quote-unquote and just fucking do it
But I but it's something like the gym also like if you you have to go every single day
You can take one day off, but you literally cannot take two days off a week
Like you can't like you have to go every single day for at least a month
And then maybe you can flirt with taking two days off
But I suggest for me it's a week for for these things where it's like every single day
You do this
And then once the next monday comes
It's already kind of programmed into your body where it's like I gotta do this now
I think a regimen is important for everyone's life
Yeah, I think it's one of the most beneficial things that a person can have is a is a regimen of lifestyle
Yeah, I mean I'm not saying it's gotta be a marine and and fucking fall out of bed and do fucking 50 push-ups
Yeah, six o'clock in the morning. It's hard for me to wake up though
It's hard for me to tell me at this point. Yeah, well at the like today
I didn't make it like today. I didn't make it to the gym. You know what it is. I think my alarm is too
late like it's at 445 the gym is right here, but like
My my alarm is at 445, but I'm I probably should push it back to like 420
You're you're getting ridiculous now. Why you're because you're a ridiculous human being 420 in the morning
Can't even say anything
It's pitch black out. Yeah, but I go to bed relatively early like I'm usually like dead asleep before 1am
That's three hours of sleep
You maniac. Yeah, well, I'm gonna find you fucking naked in here like walking around like delirious one day
You gotta sleep more than three hours, dude. You're gonna die. I'm not just saying this to be cool
But like I would say that cool. No, because I know how I know how like this could come off
But I think that since my junior my junior year of high school
until I was like
22
I would say most days I slept four hours
That is incredibly unhealthy the fact that you were alive is astonishing
No, there are there are some people like and I think this is something like because I remember
Most days not all days by the way, but I also would never see 10 o'clock
Like I haven't seen 10 o'clock in a very very very very very long time. Yeah 10 o'clock is a good buddy of mine
That's that's a that's a late
That's crazy
Dude people who could just sleep until one at 1 p.m. Like on a sunday. I'm just like dude. How like
Well, how does your body not wake up?
I've always tried to sleep late on Sundays because it's closer to football
Like I want to be closer to kickoff, but never works. I'm always up at like 9 30 on a sunday
Uh, I don't know man. I the more the older I get the more I appreciate like every
Like I'm morning. Yeah, you know, I'm not even a morning person like I don't wake up and I'm like
Fucking make a cup of coffee and
Make breakfast or whatever like I'm not a morning person
But I just like being up and being like all right. I can do things now
It's you have control of the day from that from that standpoint. Yeah, and then also you get it better early
Yeah, it's fucking great the other day. I went to bed like 10 30. Yeah
That's the that's not even really early
No, I mean it's earlier than it's early for us. It's early for like like yo, what's really gonna happen from 10 30 on
The fuck am I gonna miss you'll watch a west coast basketball game in fall sleep? That's what I'm saying
You know, but like I saw like a lot of people's too like their their New Year's resolutions are like to be on social media more
less less less excuse me
but it's like
I can't see that as a realistic resolution for me
All right before we move on let's get to the first sponsor of the year
Which is harry's razors. Listen if you don't have a new year's resolution. Here's one save a hundred dollars on shaving if you're a regular
Shaver, okay, because that's what harry's is going to do. All right. If you're shaving that face. I want you to put harry's on it. All right
We you see my face you see this you see how I line this beard up
That's all thanks to harry's you think professionals are doing this. No, it's just me in my bathroom with my harry's razor

It's in a nice little box. Okay. Everything looks extremely professional. Nice little weighted handle
All right. I don't know what they make these things out of but they're they're just they're just a good weight
You know, I feel like i'm holding like a sword and i'm about to go to battle with my dumb face
All right
That was terrible. I don't know what i'm talking about. But anyway harry's razors right now. Um
I love harry's razors. I've been using them for so long. Uh, you guys have heard him on the show before. They're just great

Uh, yeah, but yeah, if you're going to shave your face this year do with harry's. Otherwise
You're dead to me. All right. That's what I'm trying to say
Uh, but anyway, I think being less
Um
Because I also went through that and a lot of people were giving me shit to like oh where's your flip phone like blah blah blah
That was like an experiment that like I didn't need experiment. Yeah, that was
I think you got to go like a week to make an experiment. That was a hypothesis. No, I definitely had it for a week
Easily
No way. Yeah, really? Yeah
How how long would you say you had it? I would say
Two and a half weeks almost three weeks that I was like
Actually, I still have it but like that I was actually like doing what I said I was gonna do
So why'd you why'd you come back?
Because I didn't think it was necessary because I it felt like it wasn't
If it felt extreme you were going way too far out of your way to go
Well, like I said, I I want here so I shoot here
So I went straight to the top where I'm like, I'm gonna get a phone that it doesn't do anything and I'll just take it out
But also just with the way the world works. It's like, all right. It's like really hard to get an Uber
Yeah
And like a taxi
Why don't you just get a business phone like a blackberry or something something that you know
You're not going to use for anything other than business
I then have like your personal phone that you don't use that much because it's not about that. It's about like the
Apps and you need the hustle and bustle. You need it
You need your smartphone
You do nowadays you just do and and
especially us
Well, I don't need it like I work during the day and I do what I have to do
But after that's over everything else is extra like I don't necessarily like need it. No, no, no
But after everything is posted, let's say everything gets gets put out. We're pretty pretty scheduled
Scheduled now
uh with this channel santa gata studios channel
You know and uh baseman yard
Instagram and stuff like that. I'm plugging everything patreon, but like
Those are things we need that we need to be on our phones
Well, I don't think we need
To
Do that, but I do I do think that like we do baby. No, no, no, we do at the time
But like I'm saying after hours
Like let's just say what would you say our after hours would be it definitely not nine to five
Because we got to worry about the west coast
No, I don't worry about anything dude
everything gets posted I I'm
Especially as of late. I've been working like a lot like I'm like, you know, it's 11 30 and I'm doing shit
Yeah, like I can't answer your phone call because I'm doing something or I'm trying to or I'm trying to you never you never answer
My phone calls. Anyway, but it's fine. You know, I mean you FaceTime me like for no fucking reason
You're because I'm your friend and I care about you. No, you're waiting for an ear. I say love you're waiting for
You're waiting for an uber and you FaceTime me
For no fun because you're like, uh, yeah, um
Listen, uh, yeah, so I'm uh, I'll be there tomorrow and I'm like, yeah, dude. I know like you have to how dare you
You do that because I care about you. It's not because you can because you don't want to be alone for a second
I don't like being alone stand on the street. We have your fucking car
I don't like being alone fucking weird. Oh shoot me shoot me for not wanting to be alone and confiding in my friend
With my fears your fears. Yeah. Oh my god
I can't tell one of my biggest pet peeps and you know this. It's just
For no reason phone calls are FaceTimes
So you think they're nonsense
That's that is such a selfish outlook
Dude, you ever think that maybe I might need you you don't
You love to tell me my feelings if you
If you called me and you had something to say that is one thing
Okay, but if you call me and then we're trying to force a conversation. What are we doing?
Hang up the phone. I know I would usually do we usually hang up the phone
But you called me right
For what? All right, so new year's resolution number six call joe s. Yes
I won't call you at all. I'd be great
Really? No, I wouldn't. No, don't don't don't feel like that. Don't feel like that. I'm just joking. No, no, no
It's all right. I get it. You don't like when I call you. It's fine. I can't
The the the no for no reason FaceTimes
Sometimes I'll get a FaceTime from someone and they'll ask me one question
I'll give like a two-word answer and then that'll be it. I'm like, why the fuck did that happen?
Yeah, that is a text. So I would say
Understandable FaceTimes are like if I needed help on final cut
Yeah, or like a drawn out conversation that would take way less time on FaceTime than it would through text
But if you have one question that I can answer through text like if you're gonna ask me a yes and no question
Why are we talking on the like just text it? Right? But here's another thing though. Here's another argument. Okay
We went to we went to uh, your buddy's christmas party
If I didn't FaceTime you I would have never went to that party
Yeah, I'm not arguing that
But that was a good FaceTime that was a good FaceTime. All right, so I have some good FaceTimes
Sprinkled in there. Yeah, of course. All right. I'm talking about they're not all bad. No, but I get what you're saying
I know there's time. I'll FaceTime you later. You FaceTime me while you're waiting for an uber and I don't know it yet
And you're just like what's up? And I'm like, yeah, what's up, man? What's going on? And you're like, yeah, so uh
We're doing that thing tomorrow, right? And I'm like
Yeah, like we talked about it like three days prior like every single day. I'm like, yeah
And you're like, all right, cool. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna be there and I'm like, yeah, yeah
I would expect you to be here. Yeah, you're being paid, sir. Yeah, and then I'm just like
You waiting for an uber? You're like, yeah, I'm like, all right. Why are we talking, dude? Like, why are we doing it?
All right, all right
Here's resolution six. I got it. I got it. I can take I can take it. Damien. He got six already
Yeah, you still got some time. You're gonna add some more to that. You might get up to double digits
I might get up to double digits more denim more denim. You don't you don't wear any denim
This is Calvin Klein, I don't have any denim jackets. No, I like I haven't figured out
I haven't figured out, you know, you know what it is. I need to lose a little bit of weight. No, you don't no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Listen, I'm really not fishing for compliments in my stomach area
No, but what I'm saying is this. Yeah, I've seen that a little bit
Listen, listen, listen
I've seen that a little bit you want to know why where I see it
Sometimes when you put your hands over your head
And a little bit of it comes out a little bit of gut a little a little bit of gut
Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's the beer. You're not a fat person
No, no, no, I don't think you're not a fat person. No, I'm not so I don't want you to take that
No, I don't make it for me. You're not a fat person. I don't think I'm a fat person
We're not claiming you but what I'm saying is this
is
If you gave up beer for like three months
Oh, that's not happening. You'd be flat as a board
Probably and probably some abs going there. Yeah, I just don't care that much about that
Like I'm like, how do you feel about your titties?
My titties. Yeah, do you think you have titties? No, I don't think you have titties. No
No, you're good. Don't harden. Don't harden up. Don't harden up. Sit soft, baby
Oh, I could sit soft. But yeah, but then there's muscle in there. It's gonna move. Yeah, it's gonna move
but like
Popping a little bit. Come on, man. Yeah, there you go. I wouldn't say you have titties
I would say you got you got a little belly coming in
No, it's not coming in. It's been it's been parked
You think it's there?
Yeah, it's on its way out is what I'm trying to say. It's like it's it's not like it's not coming in like
I you know, you need to get it together. Was your belly bigger at any point?
Yeah, really? Yo, I weighed 190 something one at one point. Well, yeah, yeah, and then I got down to like 175
Okay, and now right now I'm like
I think I'm like 180 anybody that loses weight during this time of the year suck my asshole
Yeah, because you're a piece of shit. Yep. Okay. I will tell you this I was 225
I'm 232 right now all because of the holidays all because of holidays
Okay, my goal was to be 205 on my birthday
If I don't get there, I don't get there. But what I'm saying is this
Yeah, if you are losing weight during this time of year piece of shit you are piece of shit
I hate you and if you comment on this video, I will find you
I won't hurt you. He's gonna kill you, but I'm gonna call you a piece of shit. Yeah, all right
From a ghost account. So if somebody calls you a piece of shit from a ghost account
Look at it
Yeah, I got a little hot there. Yeah, you're right. I don't know you're so self-conscious about that bells bells
I'm not self-conscious
I think it's cute. No, actually, I think I am self-conscious about it
Really? I'm a little insecure about it. Go in go in go in depth. You want you want to hear me in security?
I have I've always had body image issues. I don't have really body image issues
I but now that like I'm fresh and like I lost a little bit of weight
like
I'm an attractive
husky man
I just I just know I am I just know I am
And and and it's like listen listen. Am I gonna win fucking uh, you know
Fucking miss universe. Yeah, am I gonna be walking down Dior? Uh, you know, absolutely not but
What's her name? I'll be Graham
Ashley Graham Ashley Graham. I'll be Graham is drake fire. Yeah hot. She's hot thickums
Hell yeah, I could be hot and thickums
Not like her. No, no, no not in my eyes, but there's there's room for a plus size hot male model in the industry
Let me rocks on wait. Are you trying to be a model? No
All right good because I you know, I don't want to be the one to tell you that's not gonna happen
No, no, no, but what I'm saying is is like you could be a little chunky and be hot
Yeah, of course, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, so like I wouldn't go like
I wouldn't be down in the dumps about having a little belly right now
No, I'm not but you said you're you said you're insecure. No, I'm insecure about two things three things
one
What I'm insecure about one two three days. No, I'm insecure about three things. All right, I don't know
Uh
I guess my stomach
Okay, which I'm not really insecure about it because I'm like, this isn't this isn't a problem for me
It doesn't show at all. Well, that's because I I'm not a fat guy. Like I'm just like
An out of shape used to be muscular guy. Yeah. Yeah, which is great
Yeah, but like I can get there like I'm not worried about that, right?
But the other things that I can't control are what I'm insecure about
Lay him on me. Can we say I'm on here? Of course. All right. I thought you because the way you said it to me
It's like I'll tell you my teeth. Okay. My teeth are not great. My teeth aren't great either. They're not like awful
No, but they're like this is great. Look
That's fine. I got some chipped up teeth
But if I opened my mouth and you got a good look you'd be like there's stuff going on in here
Yeah, but you know, that would be an easy dental cleaning that would clean you up. No, no, no, it would not
No, this would need to be like all right. I would need braces. There's nothing wrong with that
Yeah, but I don't want it. It's like a long process a process you get the invisible line
Bill Burr has them. I'm just saying you know what I'm saying. So my teeth is one
And my hairline's another
Don't start with that. It's a little high. Take the hat off. It's a little high. Take the hat off right now
I'm gonna show you
It's a little high
Yeah, it's getting up there
I've never seen you push your hair back. That's why well you push your hair back your hairline goes back
But my forehead's pretty big my forehead is what I'm talking about
Not really my hairline because my hairline hasn't receded at all my my hair my slow down slow down
What?
You don't you get going a little crazy. So you got a big forehead of a hairline. No, no, no piece at a time here
Oh, you got a package here
No, so it's my forehead is what I'm talking about magic word
No, just every time I hear that during the show. I think it's like a magic word. So, uh
My hairline
Yeah, it's a little high
Whatever
My forehead's a little big. That's all I'm gonna say. I have a great hairline
Yo, Frankie's got a hairline. Yeah. Yeah, but his hairline is like it looks like somebody drew it. It's immaculate. Yeah
Like if you want to get a shape up to be like, no, you're good, son
Yeah, you're good. You're good, doc. It's insane. I'll do the back but the front is straight. Yeah, his hairline's ridiculous
But I'm not like super insecure about it. I the only thing I'm like super insecure about is my teeth
If you shaved your head your head would look weird
Like is that what you're saying bald? Yeah
Like completely bald. Yeah, because you said your forehead
Like if you if you did like a one like like like like a buzz cut like your beard
Bro, that's not shaving your head. Same length of your beard clipped your head
I used to have the haircut for very long
How'd you feel about your head at that time? I didn't really care. Do you think you had more hair there?
Do you think you're losing your hair? No, I don't think I'm losing my hair
You think it's just you you just turn my forehead's always been big
But are you turning back the hands of time is what I'm saying? No, like is it is it going back? No, no, no
All right, so what are you worried about?
It's still big
I got a big forehead. I've never looked at your forehead and thought it was big
All right
You know
You got a nice nose
You do you do have a really nice nose
Appreciate it, but you do have a really nice nose. I I honestly have a power nose. I have a real man's nose. I say
I say insecure, but it's nothing that would make me like
Uh, like I don't wear hats because I'm insecure about my hairline. You know what I'm saying
I want to I want to buy it. I really want to buy that. Why don't you believe that it's because I feel like
Me and you are very
Uh conscious of our appearance
I'm not really that conscious though. I think you are I think you go out of your way to say that you're not conscious
But you are why you fix your hair every time before we get in here
Yeah, because I don't want to look at dickhead on camera. That's that doesn't mean I'm conscious about like my constant like
Appearance like I don't like put on a cool outfit to go to the gym or like every time I go outside
I gotta even look good like I don't give a fuck. So that's I think that's where me and you differ a little bit
Well, that's this is what I'm saying. Yeah
No, but like that's I don't think there's anything wrong with me wanting to do that though. So like because if I don't look good physically
Like I'm a beefcake
You know, I want to I want to look I want to look good. Yeah, I want to look good
Yeah, and even if I lose 20 pounds, I'll still be the same size and close. Yeah
I want to be 205. Okay. So I'll still be the same size and close
Yep
I'll just be a little a little less bouncy in the belly and then and then be working with something else
There you go. But my insecurities are like, here's another thing too
Here's the here's another thing too. I'm a beefcake to all to all the men and the women out there
Who got some weight on them or have lost weight? Don't ever be self-conscious about your stretch marks
I don't think people should be self-conscious about their stretch. I got some stretch marks
I don't think anybody should because here's the thing
Stretch marks tell stories
Oh my god, did you read this? I'm like, no, no, no, no because listen when I see a stretch
You were watching a lifetime yesterday every day. Yeah every day funny to you brought up lifetime
I do love lifetime movies, but
I think stretch marks are a show of
Where you've been or where you're going and it's kind of like a tell-tale sign that you shouldn't be ashamed of
Because if you lose a bunch of weight and you get stretch marks, that's a good thing
Don't you doesn't that mean you gained a bunch of weight? No, you can get stretch marks from rapidly losing weight as well
Oh, you know what I mean? How the fuck do you rapidly lose weight? I just can't
Yeah, yeah, yeah depression helps
Yeah, that that helps that'll help. You see me in Italy. I was like fucking
there I was like
Barely eating. Yeah, I was gonna text you like after hours. That's how hot you were. Yeah
I was like, well, well, well, I need to put more food in me. Yeah, I was very depleted. I was barely eating
Dangerously hot. They did. Yeah. I was pretty fucking hot over there. Yeah, but um
Yeah, so that's another thing. I like body image stuff is something that I feel a lot of people men and women
Obviously women but people don't understand how much men worry about their body image
Yeah, it's not and it's sad that we can be fat
and like
Be hot
Does that make sense?
Is that offensive to who?
All right, if you said to who no to women to women that we could be fat and be hot
Yeah, yeah, that's offensive. No, but but I mean it but I don't
I know what you're trying to say. I don't necessarily agree though because it didn't it didn't come out right
It didn't come out
Me myself. I like a thicker. I feel like a thicker gal. Well, that's what I'm saying
I feel like that is also the trend now too. Like the thicker you are like it's it's nice
I just think like, you know, it's like
Ariana grande for example
Don't do this. It's too too small. She's a very small girl. Very pretty very pretty very pretty very very nice
I would say shockingly attractive in the face. Yeah, she's very cute. She's cute. She's cute. She's cute, but
I need a little something
A little something grab onto here. You know what I mean
But I just feel like men like body image wise like we do have a lot of insecurities
But it's easier for us to mask them because I think publicly they're accepted a little more
Which sucks
Um, that's the message I'm trying to get across. Yes, of course, you know, yeah
That's true. I think that that women are held to a higher standard, but that's our fault
Because we hold them to that. Everything's our fault. Yeah
All right, listen, we don't white males. We know
The role we have in society. Yeah, we are assholes
And we accept that it's just that we have to state the obvious sometimes. Yeah, this is this how the world works sadly
sadly
you know
That's the thing that that's the thing that worries about me like, uh, uh
It's just like with social media and like all the shit that's coming out and it's like
Everything in your face is glamorized
Everything in your face is glamorized. Yeah
It's so easy to feel inadequate now
Oh, it's yeah and dude to the point where
I mean, some people would
Say that
you know
I'm a successful person. Yeah, I would say I as somebody that knows you like personal
I would say you're a successful person and that I'm
An attractive person. Yes
Thank you and uh
And and like whatever and I have no reason to be insecure or whatever
I had to unfollow everyone from instagram because it was getting me getting to me so much
Like it was bothering me so much and it was making me so insecure that I had to unfollow everyone for a little bit
You don't follow me too. I made you insecure. No, I just had to get everyone out. God damn it. I thought I was cool
No, I'm not jealous of you fucking
I was gonna say something there. Yeah, you are yeah, I was gonna try and say something funny, but I didn't have anything so I just
Still fat. Yeah, you know
No, but like do you think that that that time I'm away from seeing people on your channel
And not on your channel, but on your feed like you think that
Turned you off to social media or made you kind of want to come back with a different view on social media
I think it
definitely helped me
Because
I was at a place where like I said and the reason why I even brought that shit up and saying that some people would say
I'm successful some people would say I'm attractive because like those two attributes people would be like if you're those two things
You're fine. You don't have to be insecure about anything. You're you know, you know, there's nothing to worry about
Yeah, but even for me like looking at people that aren't as
uh
You know
Successful or just it's literally could be anybody not as hot
You could say it that's not what I'm talking about. It's all right. We got because that has nothing to do with it
I'm just saying like that part of it. It was like, oh, you don't you're not you're a good-looking person
You don't have to be insecure. Right, you know, so like that's dumb obviously, but like I'm saying
Uh on instagram, I'm I'm just scrolling through and looking at the best parts of people's lives
And then it's subconsciously making me feel bad about my own because I work a lot
I live in new york city like there's you know, it's not glamorous. It's you know, it's whatever
I don't really like going to clubs. You know, there's none of that
So but like when you're seeing these people like they're out in l.a. They're hanging out with all these celebrities
They're with all these girls and like they are fucking shredded and they're at a pool party
Like every other day or they're going to Vegas. They're on a private jet like all this stuff and you're like
It you just scroll past it. So you don't really like pay it any mind
But subconsciously it gets you like
Why can't I have that and it's like and then I'm like
I don't even want that. No, you know and and but but it makes me feel bad
Yeah, so it was a weird time for me and this is what I was talking about earlier
I don't know if I ever explained this on the show, but like, uh, that was what I was talking about earlier
Where I'm like, I I went through this phase where I just was like upset with myself
and
felt like I was inadequate
and
It just made me into a less productive person because I was just like
Sad but like I wasn't sad. What's the what? What's the use?
Or like I did enough right and like this is my ceiling and it's like this is not my fucking ceiling
You know what I mean? Like I want to be bigger than what I'm doing and I want to be more successful
And I want to build stuff and blah blah blah
so
but
The the instagram thing I felt was so damaging and that's why it was like the whole like
Y'all I'm one following everyone and I'm getting a flip phone because I want to be disconnected for a bit to kind of sort out my
shit
Yes start here get there. You know, uh, but I
I feel like now literally last night
Was the night where I started following
Accounts. Oh, I know
Yeah, because I followed you back. Hell. Yeah. Yeah, but I that was the first night that I started following people back
So that's been how long how was I not following anybody a while a while it was a while
It was a good amount of time for me to just be away from it and realize like
Realize what the problem was so that now if it starts to happen again
I can kind of recognize it and I don't have to do anything drastic to like yeah
Fix the situation
But I I just feel like it can be super damaging and it's and it's worry some kind of about because I'm 26
and I consider myself like
You know very mature for my age and I'm a forward thinker whatever. Yes
Kids who are younger who are like 17?
That are on instagram looking at this shit. I can't even imagine how damaging that is. Oh my god
They're like, yo, I have to you know what I have to do
Boom gang steal shit from pop eyes and bounce in order to get views and likes so I can feel like
Like satisfied and like secure with myself. I have to rock like Balmont to fucking my home room
And it's like oh, I gotta you I gotta wait in line to cop supreme so that I feel fresh at school
Right and spend drop 400 a $700 because so and so
Is flexing hard. Mm-hmm. Yeah
That's the that's like
That's that's damaging. That's culture damaging
Well, the same thing happened to me as a person who I like
And it was almost shocking to me because you know, I'm the type of person who is very like
I consider myself very balanced and very sure of themselves and secure and like whatever blah blah blah
And I didn't even know it was happening to me right until
I was forced to kind of like be like, yo, what the fuck has been going on
Yeah
And then you take time away from everything to kind of like
Go through shit and figure it out and you're like, yo, I've been fucking stupid for the past two years
The realization sneaks up creeps up on you fast. Yeah, but time flies
You don't realize how long you're in that kind of like uh
I don't want to say stationary position, but like almost in a way you are
um
but for you
I think
Your mind was always proactive though, even during that stage
What do you mean?
Like I think that you were still thinking of how like to do things better
Like, you know, like you were still mapping things out
But I wasn't acting on anything, but you spent a little more time in the couch. Yeah, you know
I wasn't acting on anything. I didn't fully shut down
But in terms of where your work ethic can go for you, it was like a complete shutdown
Yeah, for me it really felt like I didn't do anything and it and it was it set higher me though
That's the that was cool. That was cool. It was it was it was
It was even more discouraging to hear from other people because on the outside looking in it looks like i'm doing a lot
And it looks like
You know
Dude like you're getting this many views and you have this many followers and you're making good money and you're doing whatever
But you still feel like i'm not doing anything close to enough and i'm not
Working hard at all and these and i'm fooling all these fucking people
And like that even made it feel even worse
Like it made you feel worse as a person when people would be like would compliment me
And when they would be like, yo, you're doing great
And and like, you know, you're working hard and you're getting all these videos out and you're doing this and doing that
It would make me feel even worse because i know i'm not like living up to what my true potential is
It would just make me feel like shit because i'm like, yo, i'm fooling these people
Right like i'm one of the i'm what i hate now
Like i i've become what i hate where i'm one of these people that are like
I just look at the part now, right? I could relate. I could relate. I know you're talking about like i hated like
Just looking the part like i i never want to be that like i never want to be a person that you see online and you're like
Oh, he's got follow. He made these videos once a week and now he's got followers and like he's like
like bro so much shit went into this and like
I pride myself on being able to say that that i like especially now like i work mad hard
And like i really try to get after it and and it's not just social media
Like there's a whole business aspect to this that i worked really hard to be knowledgeable about and there's just a lot of back end
shit that like
Now i feel good because i can
I agree with someone who's like, you know, you're doing your thing and like i just like i know it now
You know like somebody says that too you you actually believe it
Yeah, but but back then when people would be like yo man like whatever blah blah blah all this shit and it's just like
yo man like
I'm not like i'm not that dude like you know what i mean and it just felt it just made you feel like shit
Well, i mean that's like a phony like you feel like i just look like i'm cool right
And you know i'm saying like i'm tricking people like i hated that
It's it's i know you're saying like tricking people or whatever, but it's like
I think what you went through if you didn't go through if you didn't go through that i think my opinion is
You wouldn't have
Got back in a swing of things
Uh, maybe because it it was the only other time in my life that i was like
Where i didn't i don't want to say i didn't love myself because that is so fucking dramatic, but like
If that's how you felt i didn't feel like that though, but it was just like you you felt like uh
Like bro, you're not doing your job like you're not you're not who you are right like you know what i'm saying
Like there was only other one time in my life
It was like when i first dropped out of college that i was like, yeah, what are you doing?
Yeah, you know like but
That was the only other time but for the most part i'm very sure of myself
I'm very like you could do whatever the fuck you want and like just you know, you'll be fine and you know, whatever
But so that's the energy we're carrying in the 2019. Yeah, I have I have all of my confidence back. I have all of my like
Work ethic back and i'm really that's literally all I care about and it's all I think about 24 seven now
Which is which is great because oh, it's great. That's that's what I always
Was like when I first started doing everything like that's why i'm saying like I slept four hours a day because
I would stay up
until
Like 3 a.m. Or 2 a.m. When I lived at home and learned how to do photoshop because i'm like this is gonna come in handy
One day and like I wasn't even doing anything with it
Right, but I was just like fucking around with it and I told myself how to edit
I told myself new programs and I would stay up and try to make these videos and blah blah blah
I'm just like really trying to learn everything. Well, it's a lot of a lot of people see the pop-off
But they don't see the fucking shit that went into the pop off
Well, because a lot of time there isn't a lot of shit that goes into it like with me like this isn't like and
This is me just like talking my shit and like I hate doing that
But like I love it for some people for some people and there's no like shame in that that you just
Like you hear about these rappers like you know, I just started rapping last year
Yeah, and like they're rich as shit now and like they just popped off and there's nothing wrong with that
Because if you're good, you're good like whatever if you're successful
It's it's for a reason right but some people get lucky and it happens like this
And there wasn't a whole lot of learning process and there wasn't a whole lot around behind it
For me, this is like I have worked so hard at everything
And I was so bad at everything that I do good now right that it had to like happen gradually
Like there was a lot of work put into a lot of people give up too
Well, that's the thing too like a lot of people give up on it and that's because if it doesn't happen instantly
There's no instant gratification. It's discouraging
For me it was never even a I didn't even know any of this was possible
Like truly because no one can say that now because you can see it
There's thousands of people that are social media
Whatever and they have millions of followers and make all this money from doing it
It wasn't even a thing back then I didn't have instagram didn't have snapchat didn't have vine
None of these things existed there was twitter and that was all and youtube was there
But no one was like do like had a job
Making youtube videos. There was no company set up
Like all these like uh big companies that represent all these youtubers that were set up at all
There was none of that so it wasn't even possible. I started doing it because I liked it
And like thank god like you know what I'm saying like thank god, but like
None of that was even possible but deep down though
You wouldn't have done those things if you didn't have an inkling of like
This is what I want to do
I honestly had no idea what I was doing. I I I was doing it
I always did it, bro
When I was younger me and frankie had a camera that we would film shit when I was like 10 years old
My mom got me and it was like a cassette tapes and we would record on it
And like you couldn't edit obviously you had to rewind and record over it
And we make these like sketches and shit. So I always liked doing it
But I had no idea that you could even like I didn't know
That youtube channels are I don't even I still don't even know how the accounts work. I just upload. I walk away. Yeah, you know
I'm saying but I could sit there and read the analytics all day. I don't really know what I'm I don't know
I have no idea. I just literally I make them and I hope to god that I get enough money to live
I'm saying every month, but uh
Yeah, man. I think that
I don't know. Like I said, I am in a headspace now where I feel like
I'm really focused on
Working really hard like one of my biggest things when I first
When I was growing up, I never knew what I wanted to do
I was always like a good student and people had a lot of high expectations for me because
I was a great athlete when I was younger and I was really I was really smart when I was younger
Like I had really good grades
So people had high expectations for me and then there became a time where all that went away
And I was like I was just ahead of my time when I was super young. Yeah, and prodigy lifestyle
Like I wasn't a prodigy. I was a prodigy. Well, I was I was a sports prodigy
I was I was better than everybody else
And I had good grades and then everyone grew
Yeah, I was like five eight when I was in like eighth grade
I was always small, but I was good. Yeah, and it was like, you know
It was like shocking to people because I was smaller than people. Right. I was I I shot up
Very late. Yeah, and like I'm five ten now. Like I'm not fucking right right six four
You're like five three with like a fucking big-ass jersey on. Yeah, I was tiny in threes
So like I was a really good athlete and I was really smart
So I had high expectations and then like when that didn't pan out and I was like, oh, so you're not really like
a tremendous athlete because when you get to middle school and high school
From the expectations like yo, are you going to like be a starter like on the varsity team when you're a freshman?
People can know or like are you going to be really have really good grades and then go to Ivy League schools or like whatever
And none of that ever panned out for me. So it's kind of like
More of a so what are you going to do kind of thing? Yeah, so all I wanted to do was be impressive to people
and I didn't know how to do that and I started making these videos doing whatever and
That's all I cared about was being impressive for a while
Like trying to make videos that my friends don't were funny and that yeah
It was like, oh, shit. This is cool. Like whatever blah blah
But even then at that point it was like, yo, this is cool. But like what the fuck is this? Yeah, but at a part of a part of
At at a certain point you probably you have to start to try and impress yourself though
Uh, ew
No, I think so
I think that I think a part of you wants to and by impress yourself
It's like you want to be able to do better than the last thing you produced
Um, because at at some point it became
I have to be funnier or this has to be better. I can't do this the same way
I I never really have that mindset to be honest with you at all. No, I
You know what it is? I feel like if I care about it enough that'll just happen naturally. So I don't try to like
Put too much pressure on yourself. Well, it's not about putting pressure on myself. It's just not about me
Right. It's not about like it's about like do just care
Right. If you care, you're gonna get better at it. Yeah, I'm not in competition with myself as much as I am like
As much as I care about being just good
Yeah, if that makes any sense. No, no, no, that makes sense. I hear what you're saying
I don't go out of my way to be like, you know, this needs to be funnier, but I do go out of my way to be like
You're not doing enough like do more and study more and do blah blah blah, right?
You know what I mean? It's it's the pre-work. It's more of what you stress than the actual like shit that comes out
Yeah, I mean going back to what I was saying. I think that going into 2019 like I finally for the
I would say for the first time in about three years. I feel like this is the first time that
I feel like I'm trying to
Be impressive again
Like I'm trying to be
Undeniably great. That's fire and trying to be undeniably like
Like you you have to recognize me as as a person who
Is like, you know, this dude's doing his thing, right, you know
Like I want that so bad and I haven't been that and like just because I have a platform doesn't mean that I am that
Because like I said, I was still had that and people were like, you know, you're doing your thing and I was like, don't
Fucking tell me that because I'm not, you know, you smile and nodding but inside you're just like
It's like I could be doing so much more man
Like I really feel like now I am working to my true potential and like hopefully that comes to fruition and we'll see what happens
But fire yeah, we'll see good for you
This was like a therapy session. No, I think it was I think it was good because here's here. Here's why
like on this show
Listen, I love talking about dicks
I love talking about the butt cheeks and and butt holes and but every once in a while
I think we've got to
Buckle it down and and talk about some somehow we're feeling real issues real issues real issues
And I think around this time is where a lot of self-reflection happens at this time of year
and
I posted something on my instagram the other day like
The holidays could be a very stressful time for people
Like as much as it's like, oh man, like yes, it's fucking Christmas. Like it could be a very
tough tough tough time for people
So it's like I look at like
The things that I have I used to be a very negative thinking person
Like I used to think like
Uh, you know, like I'm not gonna have enough money to do this or I'm not gonna have enough time to
Do this I this didn't really happen the way I wanted it to happen. Oh man, like I should have done this differently or whatever
I've
Retrained my brains in a way that I try to think so positively now because
For me, I spent such a portion of my life thinking negatively
Uh
I I used to think nothing good was ever gonna happen to me
Seriously, yeah, I mean and and still hasn't but no no like
That's fake. That's that's that's
Fictional because if I break down my life and what it is it's like I have a family I have people who love me care about me
And I have my I have my health. I had to go get it, but I have my health, you know, but I'm saying but like
It's like it's one of those things where
A positive mindset will change
Everything else that you do
So now if I can add some things to that positive mindset like I said my resolutions and stuff
I think it could take me to the next level of my potential
Of what I could do because I think if I if if I can
What's the word? Uh
Implant a couple things in though my brain to become
routine
It along with a positive mindset
There it'll click more because even when I would try to, um
Implicate
Yeah, try to implicate new things into implement implement. Excuse me. Sorry. I'm not that smart. I told you
Yeah, you're working on it. Yeah, that wasn't a word of the day implement
Implement new things. I would always find a reason not to do them
Like even like when vine was big it was like, yo, like move out to la like you could do this
I always found like reasons like not to do things
You know
Now it's like I don't think like that anymore, right? I've gone fully in
and
that's a hard thing to do
And you know, I think for a lot of people out there
listening they struggle with their own stuff and that's why
This this time of like self-reflection is good for us and I think this is why this is a good episode
Because I think a lot of people right now need some reassurance
About where they're at in their life and and and it's good to self-reflect
Yeah, you know, I think I think
People should self-reflect a lot more
You know
I think a lot of times you put things off like you even said you went two years until you were like, oh shit
Yeah, it was a while. It was a while. It was my whole lease in my old apartment. Yeah. Well, thankfully you got out of there
I think the move has been very beneficial to you. Yeah. Now this feels like a home. I keep it clean
I try to like, you know at my old place. I yeah, nothing got done
No
Nothing got done here like obviously like it happens like your your clothes get everywhere and your stuff gets messy
But I always clean like I always like like yesterday's place was fucked up
Yeah, this place was a shithole and I mean my room was fucked up like this place was like, all right, but like I
Your room smelled a little bit
You know what? I think that was
my body
You think you stunk that bad? Yeah, Jesus
I think that was my body because I crossed you and I was like, what are we doing here? Yeah, what's going on?
Yeah, that's all right. You went to the gym though. You stunk for a reason stunk for a reason stunk for a reason
Now if you're stinky for no reason, we got problems. Yeah, we got problems. We got problems big time problems fix your balls
Yeah, fix your balls. That's what I'm trying to say. We had to sneak in a cock joke into this episode. Yeah, that's true
Cock balls. Um
Dicks asshole butts the other thing I wanted to say just on like a less serious thing
Is there anything that you want to get into hobbies wise?
possibly in the next new year
uh
I don't think so
It like mine's not a hobby, but like I want to spend more time in my family
See that was a big one for me
Also, because when I was at that old apartment, I saw my family a lot less. Yeah, but
Yeah, I think I want to spend a lot more time in my family and my friends
Because I feel like I'm a homebody
You are a homebody, but I think I've I think I've made good strides in getting outside
I think I have
Okay
Like I think I've moved in a positive direction. I don't think I don't think I've moved taking steps back
Sex joke. Sorry. Um, I think that
You could you could do a little more right
You know, I'm not gonna complain right because you know, you came out a couple times can't come up a couple times
A couple games went out last night
I don't really count like
Mika hangouts
Really? Yeah, no, this is hanging. We went out. We went out. We went to the comedy cellar. Yeah, but
No, that was that's a legitimate hangout. Yeah
Yeah, we went to the game
I went and watched him play and then we went to the comedy cellar, but I also I wouldn't count like you remember we went to
Travis Scott, right? I don't count that. I think that's
Do you know for me to go into a huge fucking stadium and watch a fucking show?
I think that anything you have to buy tickets for doesn't count for what you're trying to accomplish. What about movies?
Those are
Movies, what about movies? What about movies? Like go if I wanted to go see movies
That's going out. You don't have social anxiety
Who do you who you talk to you don't have social anxiety? Oh
Okay, you have social anxiety
At times I do Danny. You're one of the most personable people I've ever met in my entire life
I literally couldn't drag you away from the people that you were fucking seeing talking to the other day. Well
You're a chatter. I'm a chatter chatter box, but that's out of that's out of nervousness
I I'm telling you I'm telling you you were nervous a little bit
I get nervous I get nervous you're telling me. No, I don't think you have a problem going to anything
I don't think I have a I wouldn't say I have huge social anxiety the reason why I don't count mica hangouts
Is because usually we go to his game
And we get tickets
And we go and then we go out right that is a whole event
I'm talking about just like
Let's just hang
Let's leave my house to just go hang not not to do anything crazy
Right to get out of my comfort zone. Okay and go and be someone else's comfort zone
Or go do something else at a different place that we're a different time with different people at a different point in the earth, right?
But I think
A bit I I agree that that that I could definitely do more of that
That's one one thing I want to do non-ticketed things non-ticketed things, but like
it's like uh
When I'm here
It's work
Yes, so like even if we're hanging out here. Are those hangouts or is it just work hangouts?
Um, again, this is something that you're sort of like
Bound to that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Like if you have a ticket to something you are bound to going and if you're here you're bound to be here because you work
Right, right. So it's well me going to the Christmas party was fun
that was a completely
Unticketed unbound kind of thing that you showed up to it was great. Yeah, I mean from what I remember no has you know
Talk about you say you don't get drunk
Yo, this kid was drunk son
My man was when I got here, which was nine. I wasn't drunk at that point. You were dancing
I I was dancing that's a tell tale drunk joe sign
I honestly once you start dancing and getting close
Close dancing close dancing. Oh you danced real upon me. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
I was you were bowed in those words. You were real close to me eating penny alavaco your hands
Well, yeah, I was in a giant catering. Get a goddamn fork. I did get a plate
After you were like, I'm eating penny alavaco. I'm sure I also fucking
Crushed beer pong. Yeah, you did you did
But you know, you know what it was I had a 10% beer to start the night
Yeah, here we go. No, but seriously, that's the way to do it because the next day I woke up and and like Keith Keith texted me
How are you not hung over?
I don't get hung over. That's impossible
I only get I hate you. I only get hung over if I throw up and I've only thrown up twice from drinking fire
What what did Keith actually he texted me like are you okay?
Dude, you were banged up man. I was totally fine. Do you remember how I left?
How you left? Yeah, what do you mean like how I said goodbye to everybody? You went like this, right?
I did the like the ultimate war. Oh, yeah, you were like, sorry. See you later. Like like rest. I know you did like a group
Goodbye thing. Yeah. Yeah, because there was like a bunch of people like yeah, I don't hate that
I hate saying goodbye to people if I see people
for the first night
The way I'm gonna leave is a comedic way because it gives me a reason to not say goodbye to everybody
I don't I don't like
Saying goodbye. I'll say hi to everyone. I'm not gonna say goodbye to all you
Would you would you go out on a limb and say that you that you genuinely like most people?
