Ego Management

Ever have one of those days where even your clothes seem to be questioning your life choices? That's how we roll into this laugh-a-minute episode, where we tackle the big, itchy sweater of life's absurdities. From the tragicomedy of a cheap toilet paper fiasco to the unexpected landmines in switching to a plant-based diet, we're dishing out the real deal on our own culinary misadventures. Whether it's the clash between meat cravings and meatless realities, or a heated debate over the merits of organic applesauce, we've got the scoop on the tasty and not-so-tasty transformations that come with greening your plate.

Hold onto your hats – or egos – because we're wading through the murky waters of self-importance. Can you tell when your ego is just big-boned or if it's tipping the scales into self-absorption? We're scrutinizing that fine line where confidence struts into cockiness, examining the societal tightrope walk between believing in oneself and bulldozing over others. We dive headfirst into Beyoncé's take on replaceability, dissecting the brashness of popular culture, and debating whether a loud personality is really just a cover for a flimsy presence. References to "American Gangster" and Beyoncé's "Rocket" set the stage for a candid chat about the echo of confidence in the real world.

Wrapping up, we pivot to the art of keeping your ego on a short leash, especially when you're grinding in the high-stakes worlds of trucking, barbering, or shooting hoops. We swap thoughts on that elusive sweet spot between pride and humility, and the impact a robust self-image can have on both growth and relationships. Is it really possible to walk the line of 'faking it till you make it' without stumbling over your own self-worth? As we cap off this rollercoaster ride of an episode, we salute the wisdom of Frank Lucas, pondering the virtues of staying grounded while keeping the laughs and unfiltered banter coming. So, plug in and join us on the 'Supremely Full of It Podcast' – where we keep it as real as the humor that binds us.

Okay, let me ask you this, bro he was dating her, or they was?

Speaker 3 3:08

He said he washed his hands and he went back to kick it.

Speaker 1 3:11

Speaker 3 3:12

But here's a funny thing though they was eating popcorn, hahaha.

Speaker 2 3:21

The show over. The show is over. That's it. That's all we need, bro. Oh my god. He said he washed his hands, though I don't care the visual.

Speaker 3 3:34

You know what I'm saying? The visual, bro. But that's why I said you don't mess with people who use toilet paper, man, because it ain't cool, but all I see is yeah. Just the fact that you knew what that hand is being you still, oh man.

Speaker 2 3:59

How's your day today, man? I'm tripping out right now, bro. They was eating popcorn.

Speaker 3 4:07

Shout out to the homie.

Speaker 2 4:09

I hope he didn't lick the butter off his fingertips.

Speaker 3 4:12

It was finger licking, good, hahaha, oh man, oh man, anyway. So I started a organic, plant-based diet this week, and that's what they do. I'm struggling, man.

Speaker 2 4:31

For sure you will. I'm struggling.

Speaker 3 4:33

Yeah, it's horrible. Everything tastes nasty. But salad Right. They got these. Animal-free. Chicken Can't do it. Chicken patties and steak patties I can't do it. They feel like clay. Yeah.

Speaker 2 4:49

I can't do it bro.

Speaker 3 4:50

But when you put them in an air fryer I'm like how do I know that they're done?

Speaker 2 4:56

Because they look the same as when you put it in there.

Speaker 3 4:58

Exactly, yeah. So I'm pulling it out, paul's, putting forks in, spreading it apart Paul's, and I'm like is it done? So I called my little brother and I was like hey, man, check on me tomorrow bro. Because, I don't know if these joints is done, so I don't know how long I'm going to do this.

Speaker 2 5:27

I can't, I don't want to eat anything that's supposed to be something else.

Speaker 3 5:34

Well, if somebody heard you say that they believe in the whole organe plant thing, they would be like well, you've been doing that your whole life, wow, okay, let me ask you this when you see an animal on a side of a road dead, if you come back three days later, does it look the same?

Speaker 2 5:56

No, well, no, no. What I'm saying is I don't want to eat something that they are trying to say is like something else, like I don't want to eat a chicken patty. That I know is not a chicken patty, though, but on the package it'll say chicken nuggets, and I know it's not chicken nuggets, plant based or animal free. I just really eat the fruits and vegetables bro.

Speaker 3 6:21

Oh yeah, the fruit. Yeah Well, I did taste a difference when I had applesauce. If you look at the ingredients on just regular applesauce it looks like a wish list of stuff. Yeah for sure. But if you go to the organic applesauce, you go to the ingredients. All you're going to see is organic apples.

Speaker 1 6:41

That's it.

Speaker 3 6:43

And you taste the difference. I mean it still tastes good, but you know the difference.

Speaker 2 6:47

But you know what you do Take that applesauce, you take you some cinnamon and throw it in there and stir it up. I don't like cinnamon.

Speaker 3 6:53

You don't like cinnamon.

Speaker 2 6:55

I'm not. You're going to struggle.

Speaker 3 6:59

Hey, I'm already struggling.

Speaker 2 7:00

Because, like I said, I've done it before, but I've only. I don't want nothing that's been processed, said organic, made to look like something else. Just give me the fruits and vegetables and I'm cool with that.

Speaker 3 7:14

But there's. I like meat pause, so I need some type of but man struggling.

Speaker 2 7:26

I mean you still got a lot of options, but like veggies and rice you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 7:31

Like, I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to find a plant-based meal prep company, because I don't have a lot of time to cook, so I think it's best if I just do that.

Speaker 2 7:46

Yeah, I'm cool. All right, I know who not coming over for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 7:52

Hey, you meant when I was on steroids. Hey, yeah, tell this story, bro, all right. So I was in the car accident at work and the doctor had me on steroids.

Speaker 1 8:08

Yeah.

Speaker 3 8:08

Because I was in pain and I was like inflamed a lot and stuff. Is that a pause? No, I'm inflamed. No, man, now you're good, I'm just trying to be safe.

Speaker 1 8:19

Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 8:20

Anyway, so I already have a habitabilism, so I you know what I'm saying. I like to eat a lot, but these steroids though they oh, my phone is still up, but the steroids had me on 1000. So Nye and his church had what Thanksgiving. And they had a whole lot of cakes and pies. Yeah, yeah, a whole lot of cakes and pies and I just went there to say what's up there. Everybody, you know what I'm saying. What's good?

Speaker 1 8:51

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 8:53

But when I saw the cakes and pies, I remembered that I was on steroids.

Speaker 2 8:57

Yeah, so I'm going to change your story. After you get done, go ahead.

Speaker 3 9:02

So I was looking real pitiful while I was going around the going around the table getting all the cakes and pies and not waiting until I left. So, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 9:21

Yeah, most of that happened, yeah.

Speaker 3 9:22

What was most of it.

Speaker 2 9:24

I want to change it just a little bit. Go ahead, go ahead. When I saw my brother Dyer show up, you know what I'm saying. We had a bunch of stuff. I said, hey, man, you want a piece of cake. You remember that? And he was like, yeah, sure, yeah, I'm hungry anyway too. Yeah, okay. So what the dessert was? He said can I get one of all of them? Can I get one of all of them? I said, yeah, go ahead. He was like man.

Speaker 3 9:54

No, it was like slouched over, you didn't much.

Speaker 2 9:58

You was hurt though.

Speaker 3 9:59

You was hurt, I was a home. Yeah, you was hurt man, oh, and them cakes and pies did not make it home.

Speaker 2 10:07

I ate them in the car on the way home. Got it in bruh, it's cool.

Speaker 3 10:11

Oh, man Speaking of that? Well, not cakes and pies but, that transitions into what we're going to talk about today. They say that the male ego is very fragile, but if you listen to Beyonce, it is too big, it's too wide, it won't fit.

Speaker 1 10:33

Yeah.

Speaker 3 10:35

I've got how to rest the song. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, but is there any truth? First of all, to you, what is the male ego?

Speaker 2 10:55

To me, man, it's all about self. Okay, you know what I mean. I was raised. When it's all about self, you edge out everything else that's important. They use the letters edge and guide out. Okay, a lot of things is coupled into that your pride, things of that nature. If I think about that ego being fragile or ego being too big, yeah, I all love it.

Speaker 3 11:40

Okay, I think ego is basically how you carry yourself. It's just another word for what self-esteem or whatever. But I think when people use ego, that goes, that adds a little bit more flavor to it, that adds a little bit more status, more weight to it. Like, okay, let me ask you this Do you think a man who's, let's say, 35, and he lives at home with his parents and he goes from job to job because he can't keep one, do you think he should have an ego?

Speaker 2 12:34

I mean, everybody's going to have one. See, I don't think you should. Everybody's going to have one.

Speaker 3 12:40

I think an ego is something that you earn.

Speaker 2 12:44

Okay, Like save me.

Speaker 3 12:50

for example, I can't say that I'm the realest nigga in the world or that you know and my actions don't show it. Everything has to back up what I'm saying. Everything has to back up what I'm living.

Speaker 2 13:11

Yeah, I mean, but whether you earn one or not, you got one.

Speaker 3 13:16

But it's an ego based off of nothing, though you have nothing to stand on.

Speaker 2 13:24

But that just shows, how-.

Speaker 3 13:25

Well, your ego don't have nothing to stand on.

Speaker 2 13:26

Yeah, that just shows, how fragile or big it is Okay.

Speaker 3 13:32

Well, is it a fragile ego? Only when a person doesn't live up to what their ego supposedly means.

Speaker 2 13:46

No, not necessarily. I think people may view it as being fragile if you may be living up to it, but it may not be enough for them.

Speaker 1 13:59

You know what?

Speaker 2 14:00

I mean Okay, and that could damage your ego. Well, things are going to be fine, okay.

Speaker 3 14:06

Do you have an ego?

Speaker 2 14:08

We all do.

Speaker 3 14:09

I didn't ask you that. Do you have an ego?

Speaker 2 14:12

I did answer it.

Speaker 3 14:13

You just can't say yes or no we all do bro. Okay.

Speaker 2 14:17

Yes, Do you have one? Of course I do. I know because your hat barely fit right now.

Speaker 3 14:23

Yeah, it is time to choose. Yeah, of course I do.

Speaker 2 14:27

Can you look up the clinical definition?

Speaker 3 14:31

Yeah, but somebody got to keep talking, though. You just don't want dead air. We already born. I know that's what they have.

Speaker 2 14:36

So they should be used to it. They should be used to it, okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 14:45

A person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance. So I mean that kind of defeats what I said about a person having a little bit more sauce to it, because this is just self-esteem. But you said that though. Yeah, but I said that an ego is something that you earn. You should already have self-esteem.

Speaker 2 15:15

Well, read the rest of the definitions though. That's it, but it says something else though.

Speaker 3 15:23

A person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.

Speaker 1 15:26

Yeah.

Speaker 3 15:31

Nick, what are you saying?

Speaker 2 15:33

I'm still saying Everybody wants to feel self-importance bro.

Speaker 3 15:38

Okay, but it does say a boost in my ego.

Speaker 2 15:42

That's why I was saying self-importance and self-esteem can still be exclusive. You know they're not. You know what I mean. They can be separated as well. You can have self-esteem and still not feel important.

Speaker 3 15:54

I mean true. But all right. When you hear this person has a big ego, that means that they think very highly of themselves or they fool of themselves. It's a pretty big fool of it. But, you have to do something to feel that way. You just can't be a bum and feel like you, the ish.

Speaker 2 16:25

Yeah, but you can have an ego and not really care about anybody else's well-being though, because it's all about you. It's all about yourself, true, and I think that's where the term ego comes in, in a negative way, because you know you were more important than anything else.

Speaker 3 16:45

You think you're the center of the universe?

Speaker 2 16:47

Yeah, Let me ask you this Do you think more men have large egos, or women? You didn't even take the time to even think about that. You don't want to take that back. You want to bring the Modi in. That was a quick answer. Why?

Speaker 3 17:12

Because it sounds good.

Speaker 2 17:14

No, it's fine.

Speaker 3 17:20

I think in today's world, women will say that they're a boss bee, but they're not the boss of anything. I mean, men could probably be guilty of this one too. But they will put on makeup, weave and all this other stuff, steve Harvey, and then their expectations grow. But if they took all that off, they still have the same expectations. But another reason why I think it's women is because it's hard for women to apologize. Go ahead. And then that's all I want to say.

Speaker 2 18:24

That's it, you done right there.

Speaker 3 18:25

Yeah, I think we should go in this show kind of early Amen.

Speaker 2 18:30

You know what do you think Nye? I agree with you.

Speaker 3 18:34

Okay. Why, though? Answer me? Nah, you need to get on the shirt. Answer me, hey don't do it.

Speaker 1 18:50

Copy written by Supreme. Be Full of it podcast.

Speaker 3 18:53

Yes, sir.

Speaker 2 18:58

For anybody to never believe that they don't do anything wrong. They have the biggest egos I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 19:10

Or every time they do do something wrong. If somebody else is fault, yeah.

Speaker 2 19:16

Or know that they done something wrong and won't apologize for it.

Speaker 3 19:23

Or they know that they did something wrong, but you're so sensitive that's why you think it's something wrong.

Speaker 2 19:33

Blame shift.

Speaker 3 19:34

Yeah, yeah. It's like maybe you stop acting like a bi, Then I wouldn't have to apologize. We just spit ball in here, you know what?

Speaker 2 19:45

I'm saying yeah, I mean I agree, though I think women have the biggest egos. Do I think men got egos? Yes, some of them do. Yes, they do. Yeah, I don't know if you don't cut the men out of there, but since you brought up Beyonce, okay, All right. Do you think she's coming from a place of having a big ego when she, when her song, says that you're replaceable?

Speaker 3 20:16

Of course. Why is that? Because she says in the song I can have another you in a minute. Yes, I know Beyonce songs nigga, so what, so yeah.

Speaker 2 20:34

But if you had another me, if you could go get another me, then what's wrong with me? Though you ain't got that new shoestment. That don't make sense to me. The problem is, you do want another me because I'm the best thing you ever had.

Speaker 3 20:54

Or like what I've started to say lately people don't want better, they just want what they used to.

Speaker 2 21:06

But why do you think that just because you can get another me means you're better than I am?

Speaker 1 21:12

I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 21:18

I don't know, we all. Yes, a person can be replaced mm-hmm but the intangibles that that person brought can't be replaced mm-hmm. So Okay, let me ask you this I'm trying to get away from Beyonce cuz I mean maybe wait, should we want to be have to come after us? That's more views in it Sure is man. No, we love Beyonce. I mean she got song called rocket mm-hmm listen to that, say no, you heard it bro.

Speaker 1 22:00

Cool is the.

Speaker 3 22:02

The first words that come of her mouth is let me sit this oh, I do remember that song.

Speaker 2 22:08

Yeah, I remember that song.

Speaker 3 22:10

It's our car living that life, boy anyway. Back back to ego, back to you. Do you think Women like men with big egos?

Speaker 2 22:24

To some degree. Okay long as that ego benefits her, she is just fine with it. It's the moment that the ego Affects. If that ego affects her feelings or what she wants and yet now you the problem.

Speaker 3 22:43

Is it? Well, and part of the song she said is too loud. What is your definition of a loud ego?

Speaker 2 22:54

Somebody that's so into themselves, that is visually seeing and and it don't even have to be, it don't even have to be spoken of.

Speaker 3 23:04

Okay, have you ever seen the movie American gangster? I have. Do you remember the movie American it?

Speaker 2 23:11

depends man. You know, I'm 40, brown, remember nothing. I 40.

Speaker 3 23:15

Okay, there's a scene in the movie where Frank Lucas is talking to, I think, his brother mm-hmm, his brother had that, had this loud pseudo mm-hmm and. And His brother was making money. That's why he wore that loud suit. Mm-hmm and you okay.

Speaker 2 23:37

I not, I swallow wrong. I told you I'm 40, but Bruh, I don't know. But you ain't never had that happen before, bro, like no, you ain't never been so old. You forgot to breathe. Bra, yeah, I'm saying pause.

Speaker 3 23:55

Do you not hear what you be saying? Pause, I'm looking at you like yo say it.

Speaker 2 24:03

Say you ain't never had issues while I win, bro you know. Say hey, bro, it's just one of them deals, man, like you know, I be like that.

Speaker 3 24:27

No, I've never, I don't swear. Oh my god, I forgot what you're talking about Okay, here we go. He had the loud seal.

Speaker 1 24:39

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 24:40

Frank was like will you doing? You're too loud.

Speaker 1 24:42

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 24:43

You're drawing attention to yourself. Yes, the loudest person in the room is usually the weakest person in the room, mm-hmm, so can you still have a huge ego? But wait, did you answer this already? But have low self-esteem.

Speaker 1 24:58

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 25:00

But the the definition said that you got self-esteem.

Speaker 2 25:04

It does.

Speaker 3 25:05

So how can you have a big ego but low self-esteem?

Speaker 2 25:08

because you can have one of what the definition actually calls for. I.

Speaker 3 25:14

Just think, if your ego is as loud as you you pretend it, pretended to pretend it to be then you, then your low self-esteem, can't be. Show them to the public, I guess.

Speaker 2 25:28

Well, I guess I should say it like this. In that case it wouldn't be a large ego, it would be a fragile ego. Okay, it's still an ego nonetheless, but if you are trying to appear to be something that you're not because your self-esteem is low, still an ego, just a weak one.

Speaker 3 25:47

Okay, do. Can a man tear down his own ego?

Speaker 1 25:56

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 25:57

How Get to the point to where you feel like you're worthless. Okay, and that affects your self-esteem and your willing, how you feel about how important you are.

Speaker 3 26:14

See, man, the reason why I think ego is something that you earn is because your ego is how you carry yourself, because of the accomplishments that you have.

Speaker 1 26:29

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 26:30

Your self-esteem is how you feel about yourself.

Speaker 2 26:33

Right, but I think where you're going with it is a byproduct of ego. It's a byproduct of having self-esteem and having a sense of self-importance.

Speaker 3 26:46

Right, like you have accomplishments. That's why you have it?

Speaker 2 26:53

Yeah, but you don't have to accomplish anything to have self-esteem.

Speaker 3 26:58

Yeah, I mean you could have high self-esteem, but, like I said, when I say ego is something that you earn, like something that you did, Like when I graduated oh, I said graduated when I finished trucking school that gave me a boost to my ego because I accomplished something and I know what this is going to allow me to do.

Speaker 1 27:22

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 27:23

But I already had high self-esteem because I love myself.

Speaker 1 27:26

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 27:27

But the ego is something that I work to get. That's what I'm saying. Ego is your accomplishments.

Speaker 2 27:36

But it's only important to you.

Speaker 3 27:39

Yeah.

Speaker 2 27:40

That's it.

Speaker 3 27:42

Ain't that who it should be important to.

Speaker 2 27:43

That's it, though. That's what I'm saying. So your ego doesn't affect anybody else but you, right?

Speaker 3 27:48

but you see my ego.

Speaker 1 27:51

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 27:52

And some people want to benefit off of the say ego.

Speaker 2 27:56

Or see you and say that your ego is fragile. Okay, if you go. He talks about his accolades, because he got a self-esteem issue.

Speaker 3 28:06

That's all I'm about to say. If you go around flexing, yeah. And could that come across to some people as you have a fragile ego, Mm-hmm. Okay, so if somebody say, man, they'll make 20s them tens.

Speaker 1 28:20

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 28:21

But you keep them clean though.

Speaker 1 28:22

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 28:24

Did you catch that reference?

Speaker 1 28:25

Yeah, I did.

Speaker 2 28:25

Okay, I did.

Speaker 3 28:29

Can I get a chuckle or something Like this is going to let me keep talking. Yeah, I caught it, though. Yeah, I did, I caught it, but somebody saying that they're like no, these are all 20s, and then they be like nope.

Speaker 1 28:44

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 28:45

These tens G, that could hurt your ego, couldn't it? Well, because you flexing, but the flexing isn't real. Yeah, that's your fault.

Speaker 2 28:52

Okay, that's your fault. Okay, yeah, so. But, like I said, man, in my opinion, when you have an ego, that's seen, then you are not an individual who exercises being humble.

Speaker 3 29:10

I mean true, like I said something about Frank Lucas, because the way he lived his life that's how I would want to live my life. Well, mine's the whole snitching and selling drugs and killing people in broad daylight. Basically, y'all love it yeah that's cool Now, but like he was low-key.

Speaker 2 29:30

Yeah, yeah, because he was selling drugs.

Speaker 3 29:33

Yeah, well, I mean, I just like this swag bro. Yeah okay, that's one of my favorite movies.

Speaker 2 29:39

You like this self-esteem.

Speaker 3 29:41

No, I like this ego. You like all of it. Pause, I like this ego. He was very low-key, but he knew that he was the man, though.

Speaker 1 29:52

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 29:54

And he didn't mind showing that when he wanted to.

Speaker 2 29:59

But that's where I say, that's where your ego is fragile, because you should never have to show anything.

Speaker 3 30:04

No, he wanted to show it Like when he wore that coat to boxing. That was him flexing, got him in trouble.

Speaker 2 30:14

but that was him flexing, but that's what I'm saying. Like not on his case, but I'm just saying in most cases, like, anytime you want to flex, anytime. You're not humble, huh, yeah, that's how I see that.

Speaker 3 30:30

So every time you be at the shop? No, no Matter of fact, every time we in the studio and I hear you say I am him. What are you doing?

Speaker 2 30:40

What you mean.

Speaker 3 30:41

What it sound like.

Speaker 2 30:42

What you mean. It sound like.

Speaker 3 30:44

You know, I got you.

Speaker 2 30:47

No, you talking about the music and stuff that I let you hear. I just be messing with you. Oh, now you just messing with me. I be messing with you, man. I'm going to keep it 100 with you, bro, when I say you know, I'm a barber. I didn't have other barbers come to me and say I think I can cut better hair than you.

Speaker 1 31:05

You know what I say.

Speaker 2 31:07

You probably can. Even when it come down to music, I do X, Y, Z better than you. You probably do.

Speaker 3 31:16

That's how I look at everything. See me, I'm totally different. See me, I'm going to call you bluff.

Speaker 2 31:21

No, I don't even take it that far, because my actions and when people come to me later on, it lets me know that I'm actually better than you, because it always come back around full circle.

Speaker 3 31:37

I ain't got time to wait for that. Let's just do this right now.

Speaker 2 31:40

You say you cut better hair than me, then why is some of your clients sitting in my chair? They left you Because you're chareless. No, I'm charged more actually.

Speaker 1 31:58

Well so.

Speaker 2 32:00

I'll be messing with you, though, when I do that, you know what I'm saying I'm him and all that, because you do it, so I just do it back.

Speaker 3 32:07

Because my ego, I've earned my ego.

Speaker 2 32:11

Glory to you.

Speaker 3 32:16

Name me one person. I was only to you.

Speaker 2 32:19

That's all that matters Because you getting out of trucking right. And you start driving. That's a major accomplishment to you and it is an accomplishment. But say you want to flex that accomplishment in the same room with a guy who also got out of trucking but also owned 10 trucks. Hey, is it hey? But to him he may be looking at you as if your ego fragile.

Speaker 3 32:48

Well, okay, I get what you're saying, but I'm just not going to be out here. Y'all trucking school. All that now was kiss the ring bitch.

Managing Ego in Conversation

Speaker 2 32:59

That's exactly why I'm telling you, I'll be like I'm him, I'll just be messing with you, bro.

Speaker 3 33:03

But well, first of all, if I'm a flex, I would never flex in trucking. Because, this nigga's out here cashing out. But if I flex on something or if I boost my ego or whatever chances are you know what I'm saying I can hold my all you already know you in a room full of people is worse off than you. No, I mean that too.

Speaker 2 33:34

See, I never flex in barber, okay, because I don't want to do it anyway. I feel you. You know what I'm saying. I really don't even want to do it for real. You know what I mean. I don't have that same energy or fire or drive as a young barber coming in and trying to cut hair, but I'll let them have it.

Speaker 3 33:49

I cut better than you, congratulations, nah nah, nah, I'm sorry, nah, like if I was a mean kickball player and a new person on the block said that they was better than me.

Speaker 2 34:03

Let's go About to see who can kick the further.

Speaker 3 34:07

Exactly. That's how I feel about it.

Speaker 2 34:09

I mean, I feel it, man, but you know, I me personally, bro, I just rather not even have a size and competition, bro.

Speaker 3 34:17

So okay, I'm not, I'm not so you already know, bro, I'm cool. So you shouldn't defend your ego For what I don't, for what Pride? Saying pride.

Speaker 2 34:30

Nah, you doing all. I'm showing you right now who the real man is in this conversation, because me arguing with you about things that I know I accomplished in my life, bro, I'm not doing that with you. You don't have to, you can have it. All right, bro, that's for real. That's how I am, bro. When you get to a certain age, like 40, you don't say it like you really don't care about stuff. No more, bro.

Speaker 3 34:57

I fit Okay. The reason why I say the stuff I say about what my ego is because I know that I worked hard to get it.

Speaker 2 35:07

Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure, and you should feel good about what you accomplished, right? But if somebody wanted to challenge you about what it is you did, you already know what type of person you're talking to See, he think his ego's big because of what he's doing, but all he's showing you is that his is actually fragile. That lets you know what he think about himself.

Speaker 3 35:29

I guess I mean I'm never going to go up to somebody and like challenge them on who's better.

Speaker 2 35:35

But I get challenged all the time bro.

Speaker 3 35:37

I'm not going to do that because you coming to me actually gives me the leverage. So I'm like, okay, like on the movie Last Dragon. You remember that old movie?

Speaker 2 35:53

But not every single thing about it, though that's what I say. I told you business pieces. Bruce Lee Roy Right, that's what people used to call me because of my middle name. Go ahead.

Speaker 3 36:03

He didn't want to fight, but he knew. You know what I'm saying. Come on, man, don't make me kiss your converse B. But at the end of it he had to show do his ego Like all right.

Speaker 2 36:20

He had to Okay.

Speaker 3 36:24

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 36:26

Okay, Sometimes you got to defend your ego. I don't because I feel like, because you came to challenge me, I feel like I'm a. You now reach the boss level. Now you feel like you got to surpass something I'm doing or it makes me. It don't do nothing but boost my ego for me to even feel like you, even considering me as being somebody that you think you better ask Like, was I the hurdle bro? Do I think I'm the greatest barber or musician or all of that type? Nah, I don't think like that. Do I think I'm good at what I do?

Speaker 3 37:04

Yeah, I'm him. Do you believe in faking it until you make it? Yeah.

Speaker 1 37:12

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 37:12

To yourself, though, okay.

Speaker 1 37:14

Don't go running around saying nothing.

Speaker 2 37:16

goofy bro, if you a kid growing up trying to play basketball, then you run around to yourself I'm better than Michael Jordan, then you better than Michael Jordan. But don't go tell nobody that you're better than Michael Jordan.

Speaker 3 37:33

But shouldn't everything that you do? You should go into it trying to be the best ever at it.

Speaker 2 37:42

If that's what you really want to do, yeah.

Speaker 1 37:44

Okay.

Speaker 2 37:45

I mean, at one point I wanted to be the best I could be at bar room bro.

Speaker 3 37:51

Can the male ego, can a person's ego, get them in trouble? Yeah, in a relationship.

Speaker 2 38:04

Yeah, how? Because when you got too much of it, you only thinking about you and you only.

Speaker 3 38:13

Do you think if a person has too much ego, that they think the person would never leave them?

Speaker 2 38:20

Yeah, that could be the case too. That could be the case too.

Speaker 3 38:27

What I mean? Well, I'm saying that the ego is something that you earn. What could you earn in a relationship to make you have an ego?

Speaker 2 38:40

I don't know, you just might have one of them, nice pieces on your arm right and you might want to flex it, and the issue with flexing is that it could become somebody else's Somebody with a bigger flex than you. Boy bigger ego than yours.

In the Room

Speaker 3 38:57

Okay, yeah, yeah. So in closing, manager ego. In the words of Frank Lucas, the loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room. Be humble, talk your ish to yourself.

Speaker 2 39:18

Hold on. What I need you to do is say that again. Which part? Frank Lucas.

Speaker 3 39:25

Okay. Frank Lucas once said the loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room.

Speaker 2 39:34
