Ever tried navigating San Francisco's steep streets after a hearty breakfast? We've been there, and it's all part of the holiday adventure! Join us as we reminisce about festive times, from the heartwarming aroma of gingerbread at a famous hotel to the cinematic allure of a "Shang-Chi" filming spot. We're balancing family visits, work commitments, and our love-hate relationship with wintry weather while embracing the playful chaos of the holiday season with tons of nostalgic and humorous banter.

On a more serious note, we unravel the complexities of personal growth and healthy boundaries. As we share our experiences, the conversation takes unexpected turns, exploring the gritty realities of politics and the art of navigating adult life. It's about knowing when to cut ties with toxic influences and the delicate balance of maintaining personal happiness amidst life's demands. Our reflections on success, relationships, and the broader societal distractions offer insight and motivation to tackle your own challenges with resilience.

But it's not all introspection—we’re bringing excitement for the upcoming year with spontaneous travel plans that aim to create unforgettable memories. We'll talk about those impromptu Disneyland trips and the joy of prioritizing experiences over material possessions. With a festive rap and a heart full of gratitude, we leave you with cheerful Christmas wishes and a reminder to live life to the fullest, even as we face another year of the unknown.

Christmas Intro Song by Nico

Speaker 1:

Christmas On Santa's sleigh up to the sky. No way the Grinch will get nearby, ain't that right? Christmas has arrived. We're the moon dogs of the field. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh. Say Isaac, bro, because your username is Isaac.

Speaker 2:

And Julian. I go by both.

Speaker 1:

It don't matter. Why do you have your username as your wife?

Speaker 2:

It's not like my first name. Isaac is my middle name.

Speaker 1:

Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 2:

Especially now that we have our fucking homegirl, that her boyfriend's name is Julian. So I'm just like, yeah, I'd rather just go by Isaac.

Speaker 3:

We will no longer associate him as Julian. No more Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Do you have any other nicknames? You go by. Daddy, I mean yo I know there's Jefe, he's one of them.

Speaker 1:

People call me Jefe, Some people call me Loquito Loco.

Speaker 2:

My family calls me gordo.

Speaker 3:

Um, that's about, that's about it that I got if you really ask me how many nicknames I had, it'd probably be a good page, bro, like a paragraph at least.

Speaker 1:

I remember when we used to party, we used to go out to fucking drink and do stupid shit. We would all call DJ Joaquin Joaquin Joaquin's coming out tonight, because we were all Mexicans.

Speaker 3:

All Torito Literally.

Speaker 2:

Because once they alcohol in my system, I ain't dj no more. It's joaquin, that boy ain't going home he walking home, absolutely.

Speaker 3:

I mean I got dayquil dj day day dequarius, woe day, woe day day quellen. Uh, fishy for all my middle schoolers that I went to middle school with bro mr fisher mr fisher oh my god, it just continues yeah, it's the little girl from jimmy neutron yeah, be cool. Yeah, now the, the little girl from uh polar express. That one was tough but anywho. So any big plans for Christmas this year.

Speaker 1:

Ooh, it's kind of hard just because for me I work Christmas Eve but not Christmas Day. They're giving us Christmas Day off, right. So it's just like just finding an equal balance. I know this year me and Kat we switch families for the midnight, right? So this year it's her side of the family, so it will be the day that day. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be tired, so I'm gonna try to kill my day as quick as I can take a quick nap, then go out, be with my family first for a bit till like nine o'clock maybe, and then go to cat side of the family till midnight that's right, that's right yeah, that's just how how we split it.

Speaker 1:

Then christmas day, I think she has her mom planned or scheduled in.

Speaker 3:

Right.

Speaker 1:

So we'll go be around.

Speaker 3:

That's another thing that I think is kind of crazy is that a lot of corporations like having you work Christmas Eve, Like I get it, and what you do is a supply and things of that sort. Delivering it's kind of essential, but it's like at at least christmas morning, like let's push it back and do late night deliveries because obviously customers are going to keep coming in. Yeah, purchasing and stuff like that allow families to be able to spend time with their family, or employees spend time with their family for at least christmas eve right they got to pack up any last minute, christmas gifts, shopping stuff like that.

Speaker 3:

It's just rough man a lot of these corporations really just don't care much.

Speaker 1:

I feel like yeah, and I just I just noticed that they just hire like around the the holidays. They ramp up their hiring process because they need people, but as soon as like it's over cooked, cut cooked. Yeah, it's just insane of how quick the holidays are coming and how quick they're leaving as well. Exactly, exactly like it doesn't feel that long ago that was just fucking thanksgiving no, literally, I know it doesn't feel that literally.

Speaker 3:

I feel like I didn't even. I keep forgetting it's december already.

Speaker 2:

I'm like bro it still feels like christmas or halloween was not that long.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, halloween feels like it was last month, it's just november flu, yeah, and now like the cold is like creeping in.

Speaker 1:

So now it's really cold at night. I the fog too.

Speaker 2:

I'll take the cold over the heat any day. Oh, absolutely, I'm the opposite. No, not the fog. I don't mess with the fog, bro.

Speaker 1:

I love the sun, I love the heat. I don't know, this energizes me just a little extra.

Speaker 3:

I feel like if it's like springtime sun or maybe fall sun, then yeah, but summer, last one in summer 112 degrees outside, bro, I'm not with you.

Speaker 1:

Let's not talk about the leather seats in the car, bro, your ass cheeks start burning.

Speaker 3:

You better pray.

Speaker 1:

You got ac in that car you'll be sitting in my car and be like it's starting to smell like bacon I'm roasting over, but yeah, I mean I don't know, I feel like this year the summer just felt a little bit longer than usual.

Speaker 3:

Oh, yeah I felt like it was. It came early and lasted way too late, way way the cold came way too little, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

But who knows, maybe the cold is going to be a lot longer, winter's going to be a lot longer? I would hope so. Did you see recently that, um, in was this in the bay area where a tornado had had landed or struck, and I was just like what the fuck?

Speaker 3:

that crazy how the climate change is now bro, a tornado in california alone is just crazy yeah, no, it was a video of somebody driving in it and I was like um, you're wild brother, I know you're not used to tornadoes, but if I see something like that coming at me, I'm not going through it I'm sorry and I'm just like is there insurance that covers tornadoes here for? Us? I don't think there is.

Speaker 2:

You got earthquake damage but that's like an l you have earthquakes. I mean like I'll lay out there like yeah, but here in the valley you don't get none of that tough lord, y'all really think we're gonna get hit with that big earthquake they've been talking about for years well, I know, that they've been talking about forever the fault line yeah, did you see that?

Speaker 1:

I don't know if he gives you the alert that there was like two earthquakes that happened not that long, not that far from here yeah, but they were like seven, five, eight yeah and we know never feel shit and then when I read that I was like it's kind of close.

Speaker 2:

I surprised. We didn't feel like anything.

Speaker 1:

Usually you'll get those occasional people like that post on social media Did anybody feel that?

Speaker 3:

Did anybody see the GAA?

Speaker 1:

shake or something.

Speaker 3:

I think the only time I remember feeling an earthquake was well, it was. There was one here, but I was younger, I think I was like 11 or 12. And I remember I had a bunk bed and I slept on the top and I heard it before I felt it. It sounded like there was a train coming. I was like what the hell is that? I feel my bed shaking and I'm like I'm calling my brother's name. I'm like bro quit playing bro, and I realized the door was closed.

Speaker 1:

He wasn't in there and I was like what the?

Speaker 3:

hell, like I was scared. I ain't gonna lie to you, I thought it was some paranormal shit bro I was so scared but, that was the only time I remember Actually being a part of an earthquake.

Speaker 1:

The only time that I remember was I had a TV that was hung up. This was when I was living with my parents. I had a TV that was hung up on the wall and you heard that bitch just shake and I was just like why is the TV shaking? And at first I was like I probably installed it wrong or some shit. It's probably about to collapse right now. No, it was because it was an earthquake.

Speaker 2:

The last time I felt one was like we were in high school. High school, because I remember it was me, marcus, johnny and Lalo we were all playing I think we were playing COD, yeah, like at two in the morning, yeah and then I felt something, but I didn't know what it was. I just felt like like it was just moving. Yeah, I didn't really pay mind to it. He's getting tossed around still playing and then, like everybody on the game, got dumb quiet. And this one, I was like why don't I get?

Speaker 2:

dumb quiet, and then I think it was marcus. He was like did you guys feel that like the whole blinds was just shaking and then someone had looked it up and it was an earthquake.

Speaker 3:

We're like, damn, yeah, I feel like if there was an earthquake, I'd probably still sleep through it yeah I'm not that rough out here, I'm not going, I'm not waking up for that. No, I've seen the videos in la and like they should be moving bro, even up north in the bay area, like some of the earthquakes be kind of scary and the bay area is scary alone just because of the fucking hills, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Could you imagine, bro? You're going uphill, the earthquake just start and you start tumbling down the fucking thing.

Speaker 3:

Even a lot of those houses that are still up there on the hills. Some of those are built in like the sixties and seventies still. So could you imagine, bro, getting an earthquake and get landslide.

Speaker 1:

Oh, good have you guys walked in San Francisco up the hills. Yes, that shit's killer.

Speaker 2:

I'm not going to lie. I'd be feeling bad for my car.

Speaker 1:

Dude, last year we went on a trip, a day trip, to SF to visit one of Kat's best friends and we were like, okay, let's fucking go around. They have this thing called SantaCon right now. That's happening right now. Okay, and there's a group I think it's like a group of frat people like universities, um, that are just dressed up as santa and they're drinking, bar hopping throughout, all it's a, it's a great vibe, it's it's uh nice, you gotta do that. I went and it was just a great, great fucking vibe. Everyone's just drinking, everyone's just partying, having a good time. And, um, me and cat, we were like, okay, we can handle the walk, like you know, we'll go different places and and then we were taking some of the trains, like the public transportation, right, cool little experience. And then we get to the point where her friend's just like, yeah, we're just gonna climb up uphill, we're gonna walk uphill her saying climb is crazy.

Speaker 1:

And uh, and I guess there is a hotel. I forget the name of the hotel, but it's at the top of this fucking thing. They have, um, a gingerbread house inside the hotel. Oh, that's dying. Yeah, and um, and they filmed the movie shang chi um at the at that hotel. So we were excited. We're like, yeah, let's, but it's on a deep incline, deep bro I ain't even going to lie to you Like midway. I am like laser focused head down heavy breathing.

Speaker 1:

He's like four more steps. Come on, come on, come on. They're brutal.

Speaker 3:

Yes, I don't know man. The last time I was a sand friend was for my ex's birthday. I don't know man. Like, the last time I was a sand friend was for my ex's birthday. We went to this breakfast spot.

Speaker 2:

Rip, I'm going to tell you Damn that's crazy we're walking.

Speaker 3:

So we parked the car and we walked downhill. And you know, whenever you walk downhill you got to hit that goofy walk Mm-hmm, when you and you know, whenever you walk downhill, you gotta hit that goofy walk where you like. It's hard to walk down a steep hill and kind of try looking not look goofy you know it's like your knees buckle every time you take a step.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, literally so we end up eating and you know, after you eat we get what we call the itis. So that's basically you get tired, you want to sleep, bro. Literally last night we we went to walk up and I didn't realize how far we actually parked. I'm like, oh, this ain't nothing, we're gonna walk up this easy. I walk all the time for work.

Speaker 2:

No it's a different type bro I look down, I'm walking.

Speaker 3:

I'm walking. I'm like, damn, my legs are already sore. I look back, they way back there. I'm like can we get to the car please? They're like can you just get the car and just bring it down here?

Speaker 1:

That's crazy. Anytime that I got to a flat surface, just trying to catch my breath.

Speaker 3:

You got to stop at the corner and just chill for a little bit because it's ruthless out there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I told her friend I was just like no Bro, they a different breed swole caps swole oh god, bro, she goes out there and runs and everything. I'm just like on the hill more power to her dog.

Speaker 2:

Cause me running me walking is already a challenge she not getting killed in the scary movie, for sure she gone.

Speaker 3:

She was San Francisco zombies versus valley zombies. I'm sorry, but they moving, they stepping, I'm cooked, I'm done. They got endurance and they can move fast. No, and they don't get tired, sure but we gotta take a trip to san francisco, we should. I don't know exactly what to do out there.

Speaker 1:

I've only been there about twice there's so many things to do out there like a lot. When we went for that day trip there was still so much stuff that we still didn't, uh, include right, but just the vibes alone, if you, especially if you have somebody out there that knows where to go and knows the local spots.

Speaker 1:

Fuck yeah, dude I even like I've never been a fan of, like chinese densum or uh, like certain authentic chinese foods, uh, what's it called when they have the dumplings and the soup dumplings? Oh yeah, I think it is called dim sum. Yeah, um, or either way. There was two spots that we we had gone and both spots are great and I've never got to experience anything like that until now and those, those uh types of food especially if you love food, man, fucking amazing right, I've been around chinatown and san fran and I mean, it's not I didn't get to stop and eat, but like I can already tell, like bro, that food is going to go crazy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and if you want anything like Mexican food, like real, like, I guess, good authentic Mexican food out there in the Bay Area there's an area called the Mission and that's where it's. It's a little bit like rough, rough neighborhood, yeah, and that's where it's a little bit rough. It's a rough neighborhood, yeah, but that's where you're going to find the real authentic burritos tacos all that.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you're going to have to take me there because you know I'm a big bag man. I need that.

Speaker 1:

We went to.

Speaker 3:

LA. Sorry my bad, we went to LA last weekend bro, all I could think about was food. Yeah, yeah, I was just like, okay, what spots are we hitting? And I mean, we didn't get to eat at no crazy places like that. We stopped at this chicken spot, Bro, when I tell you LA is taxing for bare minimum, oh yeah, they're taxing.

Speaker 2:

Bro, I've never seen a charge. I've been on that.

Speaker 3:

But I've never seen a charge where it's a large party charge.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, a large party charge. Yeah, yeah, they have that out there everywhere. Do you want my business or not? So I heard this the other day is that california passed a law that that restaurants are not allowed to give you the gratification charge, gratuity charge, maturity charge. You can tell them be like hey, I'm getting charged for the gratuit and they have to legally take it out.

Speaker 3:

But why are they throwing it on there in the first place?

Speaker 1:

because I guess, like if you have a larger party, more than five people, right it's. Uh, I guess they're saying to tip, like it's required for them to tip because there's obviously a large party in the right then um with people.

Speaker 3:

Sometimes they don't they don't tip, yeah, which is kind of crazy because it's a party at eight and ain't nobody tipping yeah.

Speaker 1:

No, that's wild, that's crazy so that's why I think they put it to force people to pay it. But now there's a law that you can tell them like hey, you forgot to take off this.

Speaker 2:

Right? No, because I get it, but sometimes they'd be taxed on that shit.

Speaker 3:

Bro, my order was $22. After the large party tax and all that, and then the taxes on top of that, my order came out to $37. I was like brother, I didn't even add it to the tip yet.

Speaker 2:

What are we talking about? Dick like you, door, dash that shit.

Speaker 1:

Bro, that's what I said. Don't even get door dash Like, oh my God, we eat all that bro. They text the fuck out of you all the time.

Speaker 3:

We were talking about that yesterday, weren't we how they be texting on door dash and shit.

Speaker 1:

My order was six bucks. Was my total twenty dollars exactly? You look at the price on on doordash and then you go to the website to the official like take this for example buffalo wild wings.

Speaker 1:

If you look at that at the website their website the wings are priced at a certain amount, and then you can go pick it up yourself, right? You go to doordash their price almost 10, 5, 5 to 10 dollars more than the original price, right? And then on top of that, you still got to pay the service fee. You still got to pay five to ten dollars more than the original price, and then, on top of that, you still got to pay the service fee, you still got to pay the taxes on it.

Speaker 2:

And then they want a tip, the tip of this dick.

Speaker 3:

I'm telling you it's treacherous man. California is one of the craziest places to live, specifically for services.

Speaker 3:

I feel, like, no matter what kind of service you're requesting or you're asking for, it's just always some kind of tax. I mean, when they wrote you know, never mind this conversation is, but I wonder if there's other states out there like what state is either the least tax? I know there's certain states that don't get certain taxes, but obviously they get their money in other ways but like what's the most um, how do I say economically friendly state to live in?

Speaker 1:

so I think, to better answer your. To answer that question is I think it depends on where you go. Yeah, because I have family members that that live in texas, that live in nevada all the way to new jersey. Right, it's all the same, because obviously their minimum wage it's completely different. It's either ours is is the highest, yeah, for sure, but then you go anywhere else and it's really low but for them cost of living is higher.

Speaker 3:

That's why, yeah, yeah so so it kind of much evens out it kind of evens out.

Speaker 1:

but there's our. There are some benefits to different states than to California. In California, they tax you for everything, right? No matter what Literally? You can have a boat, you can have. You get property taxes, you get house taxes, all that and in other states, like take Oklahoma, for example, they don't tax you on a lot of shit.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

You don't even get gas taxes.

Speaker 3:

Like Washington, for example, they don't tax you on a lot of shit right, you don't even get gas taxes like washington must be nice. Yeah, if your shit says 429 a gallon, it's 429 a gallon you're gonna be lit to live in washington.

Speaker 2:

It's just the weather.

Speaker 3:

I'm gonna be honest I always heard there's a lot of like weird vibes about washington. It's because it's always gloomy, it's fucked. Well, I mean not weather, I just mean people like there's always, like wasn't there's kidnapping.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, there's part. There's like bad, like any other time there's like bad parts, and then but they said washington.

Speaker 3:

I don't know if this is like two, three years ago, but they said washington was one of the one of the highest states for kidnappings and people going missing. Really, I was like brother. It's also the highest state for suicide see that was, that was a misconception.

Speaker 1:

I remember I used to believe that the suicide thing, yeah, the suicide thing, because you would, you would imagine like it's dooming, it's gloomy, you know people would be like depressing yeah but there was a research that showed that um the highest suicide rate in the united states was like somewhere in in the east coast new york.

Speaker 2:

I I assume it's in new york because they I don't know how people live out there because I think it was also like out there in, in another country, before it was washington what the hell is going on in detroit.

Speaker 3:

Like you don't never hear anything about detroit no, it's just a small that's just.

Speaker 2:

It's just regular over there.

Speaker 3:

Crime rates crazy like usual, but it's just like why aren't we doing Anyways? That's a whole other thing.

Speaker 1:

Well, I think a lot of the responsibilities goes between the states and what the states regulate, rather than the government stepping in and be like no, I'm going to. Yeah, yeah, that whole thing is like super political.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's just like I stay away from a lot of that shit just like I stay away from a lot of this shit like how politics are nowadays. It's uh, dude, you remember on instagram everybody in the notes talking about, oh, if you voted for this, like, yeah, bro, I stayed out of all that I stayed out of it.

Speaker 3:

There's no point like you're over here beefing with people talking about old. If I mean and this is to each and everybody else's opinion if you don't fuck up my opinion, that's on you. Yeah, but at the end of the day, you're still going to be living in the same country, in the same city you're complaining about it, but what are you gonna?

Speaker 2:

you're gonna leave.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm not gonna fucking leave, and then, on top of that, you're talking about oh, if you voted, if you voted for this person, I'm not gonna be friends with you. Yada, yada, yada. It's like, bro, let me be honest with you. We all grew up in different families, different places, under different ways of living and in different situations financially. So you guys are going to have differences, but it's okay to agree to disagree on something.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, having a friendship off just because somebody voted for somebody you don't with is crazy because you didn't even give them the time of day to explain why they voted for that person exactly or even educate them if they're not educated.

Speaker 1:

Yeah and even if if that's the case, that don't bring politics into it. Don't bring nothing involved in it. Just leave it as it is. Politics is such a touchy subject, no matter where you go, exactly Whether it's somebody that's very strong left wing or somebody that's very strong right wing, right, I think it's just. The politics is so wishy-washy and you know you're walking on thin ice, regardless, exactly so you can be out of it Like I. Stay out of it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, completely. People start asking me oh, who'd you vote for? I didn't vote. Yeah, I don't say the same shit, I don't vote. They're like, oh, that shit don't matter, one vote not going to matter.

Speaker 3:

That shit's rigged, bro. They know who's gonna win. It's so crazy too, because you can ask people of all generations and some will always say the same thing. My grandparents used to teach me because, when I was younger, I'd spend time with them in bakersfield and we'd watch the news every day at six o'clock, five o'clock, dinner time.

Speaker 3:

Watching the news, seeing what goes on yeah but my grandparents used to always tell me your vote matters to a certain extent and what you believe in. So if you really think that your vote matters, and it matters and you pursue that, but at the end of the day, there's always two sides to the coin. So if you think it matters, it does, but on the other side of the coin there's a lot more truth than you realize. Yeah, and even my grandmother, she was the type of person like she made me study the constitution, crazy enough to even say that she made me study it Word for word. I had to reverse it to her yeah, go ahead. Nope, go on, proceed. And but even to this day, I don't.

Speaker 3:

I don't fuck with the government, I don't fuck with the elections, I don't fuck with none of the politics and this with the elections, I don't fuck with all shady shit, none of the politics. And this is something I even told julian about too, because I was watching peaky blinders and I know this is just damn. Talk about a stutter, relax. I know this is too excited to let it get out. Um, I know this is just a tv series, but in the show, uh, tommy, which is the main guy in the show. Uh, he ends up becoming a politician. But he was a street gangster before that. He becomes a politician in order to get closer with his enemies, to widen his businesses. So he wasn't in there with the intent that he wanted to make a change for the town or nothing like that, but he influenced the town people that he was there to make a change for the workers, for the people who didn't have much.

Speaker 2:

He was just playing the system Exactly. He was playing like he was on their make a change for the workers, for the people who didn't have much. He was just playing the system Exactly.

Speaker 3:

He was playing like he was on their side but was taking advantage. So that way, once he got in position, bro, he moves his pawns over and he's dominating the whole town. And when I noticed that and he actually hinted a lot in a lot of those episodes I said you know what? That makes a whole lot more sense rather than just believing oh man, this politician's great, like he grew up here in town, like he's really for the people and you sure about that? Are you sure about that? Like yeah you.

Speaker 3:

You definitely have to keep an open mind of certain things, and it's crazy because they always say the truth is always right in front of you, whether it's in movies or tv shows.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, and there's always some truth behind of everything, even like conspiracies. Um well, I mean, you guys saw, I think, the one big conspiracy that would be like almost like confirmed with the corruption here in fresno, right, well, you saw it with fresno pd, yeah, with the chief. Yeah, and fuck buddy, there's a bunch of people that just. I mean, there was just a lot of rumors and no one wanted to believe it. Fuck you Until it came out true you know, and just a lot of things just get swept under the rug.

Speaker 3:

And again to the side. But I also kind of feel like there's a lot of it. Like, obviously, us as people, we've been so busy with productivity, with working, with taking care of our families that we can't prioritize staying on top of these politicians. So obviously, since we're distracted with oh, christmas, go buy your Christmas gifts. Oh, I got to work, I got to do overtime, I got to do that.

Speaker 3:

You're so focused on so many other things In the background. They're plotting on new bills, they're doing this, they're doing that. You can't focus on all the corruption at the same time. So they keep us so distracted on our daily lives unless you got money like that and if you do, you're still feeding into it. Yeah, to the point to where we can't really make a change majorly. And that's why I think when people talk about, oh, we should have a revolution, we should overthrow the government, it's not as easy as it seems, because remember when people was talking about what if we all just don't pay our taxes at once? But that message is not getting across to everybody. That's going to fail easy.

Speaker 2:

I mean look at the riots in DC. Oh, we're going to overtake the government, yada, yada, Nope. What happened?

Speaker 3:

Nope Still here, it's just until we can all be fed up enough.

Speaker 1:

Speaking about the fucking riots, do you remember a bunch of Fresno people, people that we went to high?

Speaker 3:

school with literally at the riots. Yes, bro.

Speaker 1:

They got picked up by the FBI. I think it's so crazy, bro, like I think it's crazy that people take it to the extreme yeah, yeah somebody, or ida was telling us yeah, that wasn't it, it was somebody about family.

Speaker 2:

And then like, literally, family unfollowed each other. Yeah, like bro it's not that deep gang, yeah yeah, people have their reasons.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I don't know like I, I never went around and been like you know what, just because you voted for that person, I dislike you.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, no it and I think it is a deeper thing because obviously, like living in california I with the whole situation with some of our friends I know a lot of it has to do with, like, certain rights, obviously, transgender rights and all the other stuff you know it's. It's understandable when you live in a different lifestyle compared to others and the person that your friends are voting for obviously are opposed to the certain rights that you wish to have or that you're voting for.

Speaker 3:

So that's where it does get a little bit personal. I completely understand it, but at the end of the day I also kind of feel like it's to each its own. Yeah Right, your rights might not be my rights, and I'm going to respect you enough to at least be like OK, I got homies that are transgender, I got homies that are LGBT or whatever the case may be. I wouldn't want to disrespect them like that. So at this point I'm going to just back out of it. But if it's detrimental enough to you and it's really going to affect you, then vote for whoever you need to. But crashing out over that type of shit I'm not going to lie to you, dog. No, I'm good. I'm just glad politics is under the rug again.

Speaker 2:

I'm happy it's not, it's gonna pop back. It'll pop back up once he gets like actually signed in and everything that shit's gonna go off. I just hate election year. I just hate hearing about all of it. That's right, brother. We got four years now.

Speaker 3:

We cannot do it and if you don't like them, they got a fucking cruise ship for the next four years. If you make 40 000 a year, you can qualify to get on that ship and not be around for the whole time. That's wild yeah, 40 grand a year, that's crazy yeah you got it, you got it oh, I know other than that, do you have any plans for, uh, anything after christmas?

Speaker 1:

uh, after chris, after christmas. Now, bro, I think I'm just stuck in this routine of going to work and then figuring stuff out for the podcast, and I hate that. I'm stuck in this routine just because I know that this is the phase of my life where you have to chase your bag. You have to put money into your 401k, your retirement, put money uh forth for a home. I know this is the point where it's just like you have to do this routine and I just hate it, just because I feel like I'm not enjoying my life yet. I'm not being able to do it right.

Speaker 1:

Um, but then adulting bro yeah, and it's just like man this is. It's starting to get annoying because I'm just like damn dude, I'm losing my free time little by little, and I'm also losing patience with a lot of individuals. Right, like I'm sorry, like, if you're not part of my inner circle or my day to day, the people that I care about, the people that are rocking with me Right, you can go fuck yourself.

Speaker 2:

Right Point blank period.

Speaker 3:

Right, that's how we've been getting to the lock and in. I mean, yeah, us too.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm just I'm so fed up with people's drama. People like it's, so it's, it's spitting y'all let them cook.

Speaker 1:

It's just, it's stupid. Like, okay, bro, if you're into that petty shit and you're still focusing on that and you are not better in your life, right? You don't got to make everybody else's life and fucking miserable just because you are exactly, find your own happiness, figure your own way out. I don't got to make everybody else's life fucking miserable just because you are. Find your own happiness, figure your own way out. I cut you off for a reason. Leave me the fuck away. Leave me out.

Speaker 3:

And it's kind of crazy because some of those people can't see those signs Like you will be minding your business. You're like, finally I'm locked in, things are going smoothly, and then they just come crawling right back and cause a little bit more drama. Debbie Downers and shit yeah it's like, dude, we we're elevated past that. Take a stop and look around and see what everybody else is doing. For once, you know what I'm saying yeah and I definitely see where you're coming from.

Speaker 3:

We had a, we had a few run-ins me and Julian had a few run-ins with that and it's it's getting annoying, like you said, and the older we get and the more mature we get, you start to realize that your time is worth a whole lot more than feeding into more value.

Speaker 2:

We just stopped giving a fuck honestly like shit happened and we're just like cool. See ya, deuces. Yeah, it's on you. Yeah, at first I used to.

Speaker 1:

I used to be so like no, I gotta make sure everybody's good. I was so, like, caught up into the mix of like, nah, I'm gonna talk to this person, squash it, do whatever, right. But then it just got so fed up when it was just repeated, right, and it's the same situation over and over again, right, it's just like you're putting yourself into the situation, you're hurting yourself, like you're um, you're having this person be the anchor that's holding you down.

Speaker 2:

It's so understandable. Like that old saying bro, you could lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's a. It's a. It's a fun game to play when you have to deal with people who aren't very mature in their mind. The patience of it all, it's just funny, you spoke to me.

Speaker 1:

But then you realize, like when you cut someone off or you don't feed into their smoke or feed into the manipulation. You see how fast shit just dies out Exactly. And then you also see how like they victimize themselves and they say kinds of bullshit, make up all kinds. It's ridiculous. But then you see the truth of like. I see the true colors of you. Yeah, like I didn't pay attention, I give you no attention. And now you're getting pissed off that I'm not paying attention.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's so funny too, because after all that it's just like you look at where you're at and you look at where they're at and you're just like, oh, cake rocks Peon and then you like really think about it and you be like what was the point?

Speaker 2:

What was the point of doing all that shit? Just for what I went through all that?

Speaker 3:

I should have cut this man off sooner. I should have been at that. This is real, it's so real. Sometimes it's family, sometimes it's friends, sometimes it's long-term relationships.

Speaker 1:

Man, it's, it's yeah, my best advice to give you guys is know when to cut it off. Yeah, yeah, because when you do, it's you, you.

Speaker 3:

You take this weight off your shoulder do you ever get the guilt feeling of like let's say you need somebody new, right, and those thoughts come up in your head and you're like. Now they're showing signs, like this last person, I gotta cut them off. And then you do it because you, you're like no, you already know what's coming. Yeah but then you get that guilt, feeling like maybe they weren't, like maybe I should have gave them the benefit of the doubt.

Speaker 1:

I get you. It's like, uh, like, almost ptsd yeah, like you don't want to fully trust, like like I don't ever. Well, my trust is hard to earn. Yeah, you know that. Yeah, so for me to sit there and be like you know what, like I'm a, I'm a trust this next person I'm a trust. No, like I am so reserved, I am so like I guess you can say, um, well, aware of my surroundings, into like having to trust my gut right and if I can genuinely feel like, oh, this person is genuine, okay, you can come in right, but I've also learned to divine the line.

Speaker 1:

There's certain people that I can talk to, like I sit here, boundaries, and I can talk to both of you guys I can sit here and open about my depression, open about all kinds of shit. Right, I could do that. I can't do that with with xyz, yeah, yeah so I just learned to like distance, or I learned to have certain people that are are destined for this reason, and other people that are just like all right, you can only know about me so much exactly good filtration system yeah absolutely.

Speaker 3:

I just, I don't know man, there's been so many times and this goes for like, this goes for relationships, like failed relationships, newcomers, his friends, all that. Like sometimes I feel bad because I'm like dude, I'm a dick, low-key, like I didn't even get you the time of day. I didn't give you the time of day. I'm the known dick. Yeah, I mean this guy over here, he's a, he's a known cutthroat. He don't play that shit. I'm, I'm the nicer one. I'll be cordial about it and I'll let you know like, hey, bro, I'm not gonna lie to you. Like I didn't fuck with this, yada, yada, yada. So at this point I'm gonna just move forward, yeah, but this dude, he's just like oh word oh, you won't be like that, it's gone like there's no clarification.

Speaker 2:

I don't sugarcoat shit, I don't do the yada yada, nope, nope, I'm a straight up, that's it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, just because I got time to sit there and if I were to sit there and listen to the people make up all these apologies.

Speaker 2:

It would just make me more mad, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Because then do none of that shit.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and that's another thing too. When you're dealing with manipulators, that's where they try and get you at, because if you do give them that time of day to be like, listen, you did this, that and a third, then they come up with excuses that you might believe You're like. You know what You're right. Maybe I did, maybe I was overthinking it, yeah, and that's when they learn kindness for granted and use it Exactly.

Speaker 1:

Take your kindness for weakness.

Speaker 3:

That's one of the things I've dealt with for years, bro. I mean personally, I would say it's definitely one of my most humbling teachings, because I feel like I am a people pleaser. So for me it's just like I'm here for everybody. You come into my life, I feel like it's for a reason I'm going to help you out with whatever you need Exactly. But the moment I see those signs that it's time for me to cut you off, I'm gonna do it because obviously I need to prioritize myself, but I'm gonna do it in a cordial way. Like I said, I'm gonna try and negotiate with you, but if I see those signs of a manipulator, that's when it's really bad for you cause then I'm gonna just fuck with you and then sometimes you'll never see it coming like that's the worst, like you think so much of somebody and then out of nowhere they're like like like take this for an example at first, like you end shit cordially right, you end it in respect.

Speaker 1:

You guys were still gonna be friends, you guys are still. And then they manipulate that shit and flip it, yeah, and then they talk so much shit about you and it's like I would have never thought you would have changed up like that like hold on.

Speaker 1:

You said, said, nah, I'm still gonna check up on you. Nah, you still my boy, nah. And then they flip around and be like, yeah, I got kicked out, yep, but he's a bitch, yep, he's all this. Yep, he, he, he stole he. We ain't gonna talk about the conversation. Hey bro, I need some money. Give me some gas.

Speaker 2:

We ain't gonna talk about that.

Speaker 1:

We ain't gonna talk about the times that I literally handed you some shit. Hey, bro, take care, I got you whenever you my brother, bro, I got you whenever. I'll pay you back every time that I owe you.

Speaker 3:

That's wild In the fire pit, bro Grilling his ass. Anyways, I'll pay you back every time that I owe you, dog, that's wild. And the fire pit. Bro, he's in the fire pit right now Grilling his ass. Anyways, anyways, Anyways, yeah, I mean some people deserve it, some people get the batting of the stick and it's unfortunate, but I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Take your stories and make up lies about them.

Speaker 3:

I feel like sometimes you just really have to be selfish about yourself and you can't really look back. That's what I learned.

Speaker 1:

That's what.

Speaker 3:

I learned Just be selfish with yourself, because it's hard when, especially when you're an adult, when you're younger, it's one thing, things are disposable. When you're younger, your friend groups might switch up on you by you're fucking 15, 16.

Speaker 2:

That's how you. Yeah, it's a you got to go through with it.

Speaker 3:

What do they call that Evolution?

Speaker 1:

I mean evolution, but it is a term for it, but anyways.

Speaker 3:

I just, I don't know man, I kind of I'm getting tired now of bringing new people in. Something goes down. I got to push them to the side. Yeah, it's just too much time and energy wasted. I can't do it for much longer.

Speaker 1:

I'm not going to lie to you. Yeah, that's why I just focus on just reserving everything to myself. There's only certain people that give my time, my energy. They get my values of my words. That's what I learned. It's just like hey, they want to talk to me. Listen to the bodyguards. I'm not going to sit here and waste my breath on x, y and z, exactly because there's no point. Yeah, like I don't, I don't not cool with you. I'm not for a reason. Like I have a lot of family members too that are in the same position, same things. Just like, nah, man, like I'm, we're at arm's length, right, you want to hear me? You want to hear how I'm doing? Yeah, check out the podcast. Like that's right, you're not gonna hear shit from me.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, point, playing beard like that part of you is like well, they're family, like I have to be there for him, I have to. But then I start thinking like okay, but that's just a label. We were talking about that earlier too. Labels, taking down labels I feel like it's hard because traditionally people always say your family is closer than anything that don't work.

Speaker 2:

That's not true, gang.

Speaker 3:

Yeah that is such a misconception and when you get older you realize that and I felt like as a kid like that was one of the things that I always held dearest to me was because all I really had was my family. I I made friends, but they came and went often so I was just like, oh well, brother, sister, mom, dad, yeah, grandfather yeah, I thought I found that out too early on is that family?

Speaker 1:

family isn't necessarily the people that you related to wet blood exactly.

Speaker 3:

Even if you lived with them all your life, you'd be so, so different, so that morally, mentally, it's just different yeah mud thicker than water, but blood stick or mud sticker than blood. Yeah, literally who'd you get out the mud with? Exactly my brother.

Speaker 1:

That ain't my actual brother, yeah, but and you know what, man, I'll say this. I say that certain people play their part in in certain chapters. There's things that need to be need to that you need to go through certain events for you to progress to the next stage, and it's just one event after the other, after the other. So, even though this happened, the next event is going to happen, whether it's a year from now, a couple months from now, a couple weeks from now, and you never know. But everyone is on different chapters of their life and I just think that's where my chapter is right now it's just trying to save up to rebuild and save up to figure everything out, and now it's just like no, like from before it used to be struggling, now it's just like no. Now you have to see how you want to restructure right.

Speaker 3:

Right and that's another thing too is the next step after that is maintaining. You might be able to get it and you finally got what you wanted, but can you maintain it Exactly? And that was another thing that was tough for me, because I didn't go to school, because I always believed that well, for one, I didn't go to school because I couldn't afford it. I could have did something different, but I decided not to. I went a different route and I said well, I don't think you really need to go to school to be successful.

Speaker 3:

There's tons of people out here that are successful without stepping a foot in college, some dropouts in high school. So you know, after all these years of working, you know I actually got a job that was paying a really good amount. I'm like okay, I get paid more to do way less than what most people do. Physically, mentally, I was enjoying it, but I couldn't maintain it. You got everything you want. Can you maintain it? Can you build yourself above that? I think that's a huge mental block that a lot of people don't think of is okay. Well, once I got it, what do I do from here? And that's something I will say I struggled with. But this year, this whole 2024, is what humbled me to learn that. So, given the opportunity that I do rebuild and I get what I want most in life, maintaining it is definitely going to be easy for me.

Speaker 1:

At least I pray no for sure. In some events, you have to go through them and learn from them. Right, and maybe from that one it's just for you to learn of like, okay, what's it? I had it all and now I don't. What did I not do, right?

Speaker 2:

exactly.

Speaker 1:

Learn by experience exactly and if not, then then the experience that you did learn in the experience that you did go through, now you're able to implement that into the next phase that you're going to be a part of.

Speaker 3:

That's exactly where I'm at and it kind of sucks because you feel like, damn, I wish I would have knew this a lot sooner because I wouldn't have to waste this. But it's all a part of the plan. You know, I don't really question much of what I went through in life because and it's crazy to see this, because I didn't really grow up very religious like that. But I've noticed in certain experiences I always get humbled. Right after a certain situation. I'm like, okay, this is God showing me. Okay, you went through this for a reason, go through it again and you better not make the same mistake, and that's just what I really needed. So I can't be mad that I went through this situation and I lost everything that I had that I wanted, because it's just a humbling moment. It's gonna come. It's gonna come and go, just as life always does, absolutely so. But, mr isaac, question present what do you got planned for christmas this year?

Speaker 2:

nothing, just christmas eve, my, because my parents gotta go watch my grandma, so I'll probably spend, we're gonna spend christmas eve, and then they gotta go to my grandma for christmas, so probably, you know, I gotta go see two other families and shit. Yeah, I gotta go see my brother, see my brother christmas day in the morning and then probably go to mike's in the afternoon.

Speaker 3:

You ever look forward to all the food, all the eating for holidays. Hell no, no.

Speaker 2:

My big back yeah, Like you look forward to it, but then, once after you're done with all of it, you're just like fuck.

Speaker 3:

Hey, I feel bad for the person doing dishes because I don't miss that shit.

Speaker 2:

That's one thing I will say no, I I will say I'll eat for sure, but that after feeling coma, yes sir, I just having a small family like what I have now is just I don't know.

Speaker 3:

You win some, you lose some cause. For me it's like holiday season comes around, I don't really do much, but at the same time it's just like I don't miss doing them dishes. On Thanksgiving, bro, you finish eating all that good food, everybody goes home and you walk in the kitchen for a water and you realize you got to do all them dishes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, nah, yeah, no, for for our family it's more of uh, we're excited the next morning because we call for I, for I don't know if this is for all hispanics, but there's some hispanics that say come back tomorrow for the recalentado yeah come back for tomorrow, for for the second round, basically leftovers.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, come back tomorrow for the second round. Basically Leftovers, maybe Leftovers right.

Speaker 1:

And that's always the best part, I'll say Because it's closer.

Speaker 2:

It's a closer knit. The people that come over for that are the closer knit people and then you really get to enjoy everything Dang.

Speaker 3:

that's pretty cool. Y'all don't know nothing about that. The food that we make in my culture, when it's gone, it's gone.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Don't come back home tomorrow, and usually at the end of that night it's you can't stay here, or what is it?

Speaker 2:

Everybody got to go.

Speaker 3:

You ain't got to go home, but you can't be here yeah literally, that's how it works out here for me, but I mean yeah that's right.

Speaker 3:

That's right, you're gonna cover the microphone with that one no, I know the fans watching, yeah, no, but um, yeah, by all means. I mean I didn't have anything planned. I don't really, like I said, I don't plan for holidays. I don't plan for anything like that. For me it's more spontaneous, yeah, and I enjoy it because I've lived a life where it's strictly just everything's in order, everything's just okay. This day, I do this. This day I do that. Living spontaneously is definitely one of the most best things I've done in my life, because it just feels good.

Speaker 3:

I wake up one day and end up in vegas yeah, at the end of the night I'm like, all right, I didn't think I was gonna end up here, but I'm just here for the ride, fuck yeah.

Speaker 2:

But no, I'm glad I get to live like that now we wonder what the fuck's going on, but something's gonna go on. Something gonna happen, yeah, but no, I'm glad I get to live like that now. Mmhmm, mmhmm. We wonder what the fuck's going on. But something's gonna go on.

Speaker 3:

Something gonna happen there, you go, yeah, but. I'm excited for this new year, though I'll tell you that much yeah.

Speaker 1:

We should definitely take more. More fucking day trips. Oh, we were talking about that. We should take more day trips. We're Bro, just to be like, hey, let's go one random weekend and just go.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, let's go be hella heads, get a three-car convoy just go out to like san joe at that point just ran out of fucking bus.

Speaker 1:

I got a class a I'll drive.

Speaker 3:

It would be so cool if you could actually rent like a school bus, actually rent like a school bus, like a greyhound could you imagine renting a greyhound heads, bro man? That'd be kind of cool. Though you just pull up, you got a fat airbnb, everybody just kick it there. That'd be kind of cool on some project, that shit. But I'm thinking this next year is going to be a lot of out-of-state trips. I mean, I've touched all the way up north of california and down south now. But gotta get out of state, gotta get out and explore more exactly, passport boys 2025, do it, bro, do it take advantage of it, don't?

Speaker 2:

we still have the time gang.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, literally we only getting older.

Speaker 1:

Before you have kids and shit too, cause once you got kids.

Speaker 3:

Cooked, cooked, I'm telling you, 27 coming up soon. Sorry for those parents that are out there that don't listen.

Speaker 1:

Hey, if you got kids already, you know damn well.

Speaker 3:

They are listening right now and they're just like Take advantage of your young Please, yeah, literally, I mean man, I think I always tell myself 27, 28 is going to be the year that I end up having kids.

Speaker 1:

It's not looking too promising.

Speaker 3:

The same way. Matching PJs this year for Christmas was looking nice, but unfortunately we ain't going to talk about that.

Speaker 1:

Well, I mean, you never know, there's probably little days running around, you just don't know dog. Don't tell me that.

Speaker 3:

Little bad-ass, little day-days. Nah, so we got 16 more days. To what? To the New Year's? Oh. December 15th you said December 15th. It's the 15th, uh-oh. I'm just going gonna get paid, bro, I don't give a fuck about he's like what my paycheck got, but uh, it's your flu. Uh, what was one of your most memorable times this year?

Speaker 1:

uh, damn memorable, positive, positive yeah, positive there's a few um. No, I think I think, um, the most memorable was the bounce back um with you guys, with you guys, rockstar turtle. I think those were the most memorable um, just because, uh, me and me and ivan, we had deep conversation. I had a lot of deep conversation with with dj too, and a lot of those moments just stick out more, um, and they're good. Nothing bad, nothing negative, yeah, but those are the blessings.

Speaker 1:

I would say Because I feel like that's the moment when it shifts.

Speaker 3:

Right, it went from bad and then it went to damn Bounce back. Yeah, I can't even remember being in that position.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's good man, that's good. What about you guys?

Speaker 2:

Isaac, probably just the whole month of October. Yeah, october was lit, october was lit, went to la, lived it up out there came back.

Speaker 3:

We did our thing here it was a whole fun month, dude, I'm telling you, it was like almost every day we were just living, to be real.

Speaker 2:

That's literally what we're doing, bro.

Speaker 3:

We're just living, I mean for me it had to be. I feel like end of summer, like maybe august through october, was very memorable for me because that was when I started living spontaneously. I was like all right, cool, like obviously money's a problem. But homies came through. When is money not a problem?

Speaker 1:

yeah, yeah, that is actually valid.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, uh, I took more trips in the span of those three months that I have in the last year and it was so much fun. I mean, I went from being in a relationship where I was stressed out, didn't really get to hang out with the homies. I didn't even get to chill with my brother Isaac right here is my brother, martin is my brother and I did not get to hang out with them very often For my birthday and that was pretty much it.

Speaker 3:

And I mean, after going through all that, being super depressed and going through a lot, I ended up coming back and, like I said, making the most amount of money I've ever made in my life and then taking way more trips than I ever got to. I mean, bro, we went from. We went to San Jose what is that? Santa Cruz. Then we went to Sac for about a week.

Speaker 3:

Then we went to Vegas and that was in a span of two weeks and I mean, it was just that was truly living day by day. I loved it every bit of it, but most of the memories I made was just with new friends and it's so crazy to say that because the people that I went with I'd only known for like two weeks and we did all that and even then, being able to watch all of my friends grow, whether it be with their businesses or with their jobs or their living situations, stuff like that, I've seen so much progression with all the people around me. I love it. I love it.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely, definitely. Take advantage of any free time that you have to go out of town, whether it's just a day trip or whether it's just to go and say fuck it. I just want to go visit X, y and Z.

Speaker 2:

Well, if we were to do it Like a spontaneous nature, it would literally just be Me and DJ.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Cause our other friends. We.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's a headache. I can't be in the same car With them for three hours. I'm sorry, and they'll be like.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, do this and then do that. Oh god, ruin the vibe bro, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I know, me and Kat, our thing is Disneyland. We were like, fuck, let's go to Disneyland, let's go and be happy. Are we really doing this shit? And I was like, well, fuck it. We bought the tickets that day, dang, and we hopped into the car and drove to LA.

Speaker 3:

Fuck yeah, that's living right there. That's living right there, and that's the beauty. I think that's the beauty of it, dude, just taking those day trips, no matter what, you know, I feel like the world would be a lot.

Speaker 3:

Well, let me change that. I feel like a lot of people in the united states would be happier if they were able to do that more often. Yeah, we would be more positive as a community if people didn't have to grind so much, if people didn't have to work so much. Yeah, because again in the working class, you are literally working your life away.

Speaker 3:

You have to bust your ass day in, day out, put an OT, just to get the things that you really want Sometimes the things you need, yeah, and you don't get to enjoy that part of life often, and I think it's just best that and this goes back to that whole thing that we're talking about about making it a law for people to work four day weeks instead of working five days yeah, um, I didn't look into it deep enough to know if that would lower pay rates, if that would raise pay rates or how that would work, but I do feel like people having that much more time to spend with their families, to go on trips and do stuff like that yeah if living wages could be a little bit more, if our situations could be way more livable, dude, we'd be way more happier.

Speaker 3:

A lot of people right now.

Speaker 1:

if you ask them on a scale of one to 10, how satisfied they were in their day-to-day life, they're probably not If you get a seven telling you yeah, and that's just because everybody's caught into the whole routine of working coming home, going to bed, Working, coming home, going to bed Right and Working, coming home, going to bed. Working, coming home, going to bed Right, and there's nothing wrong with that if that's what you like to do.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, if it keeps you occupied, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Occupied, occupied. But for me it's just like I hate that routine because I feel like I'm not myself, I'm not able to enjoy myself Like you're programmed, yeah, and I'm like I'm not this type of person. I can't do that.

Speaker 3:

I'm telling you, this is just a thought. Do not quit your job tomorrow because you don't feel like working and you want to go to spend time in San Fran. But just remember to live. Don't continue to just work in, day in, day out, for materialistic shit. Or oh, I got to go get this coach bag, I got to get this Louis bag. Or, oh, I really want to impress this girl. I this coach bag, I gotta get this louis bagger. Oh, I really want to impress this girl. I gotta go buy her this, this, that. And third, bro, focus on yourself. Enjoy your life, because you only get one life to live, and I know this sounds so basic, but it's true, it's true. You only get to live once. You. You might not wake up tomorrow, bro. You might as well go ahead. You got a little extra cash. Go to the beach. Yeah, go to the beach. Go enjoy that. I don't care if it's seven o'clock at night. Go watch the sunrise, bro. Where?

Speaker 1:

the fuck you at.

Speaker 3:

I'm at the beach I love those phone calls, bro. I'd be, I'd be out of town, I'm somewhere and isaac calls me. He's like bro, why are you? Why the fuck are you out in this place, that place? And I'm just like, hey bro worry about it. You know what I'm saying it's enjoyable, and then you think about it too.

Speaker 1:

For me, I'm 25. You're only 25 once. For you guys, you guys are 23. You're only 24 once 24.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to be 25 in March. I'm going to be 25 in.

Speaker 1:

February, but see, you only have that.

Speaker 2:

At least I get to use that Rod Wave song Stop.

Speaker 3:

But yeah, we got to utilize it as much as possible. And it's scary to think about it too, because 30 is about to be. Five years from here, 30 is sounding really, really treacherous.

Speaker 1:

I ain't ready for it. Better be 26 in two months bro.

Speaker 3:

It doesn't help. My grandparents told me oh, when you get older you're fucked. My grandpa, literally told me that he's like I live my days. He's like for you, though good luck.

Speaker 2:

I said you're cooked.

Speaker 3:

I said, grandpa, how you gonna do me like that?

Speaker 1:

I look at my grandpa and he'll be like I ain't making it till you, I ain't making it past 70, I'm telling you that right?

Speaker 3:

now. But yeah, life is good when it's good. But if you haven't gotten the opportunity to take that trip or to really enjoy yourself, or you do it, please, please, do it. You don't take the money with the grave with you, bro, exactly, I'm going to bury you in that suitcase. I'm going to bury you with your 401k.

Speaker 1:

I doubt it, they're going to bury you with your 401k? I doubt it. They're going to bury you with that car. They better. Bury me in my Lexus, they better. That's your coffin roll.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to be holding the steering wheel on my chest when they bury me in it too. You want to be one?

Speaker 2:

hand on the steering wheel and the other one on the e-brake, exactly.

Speaker 3:

Exactly. But yeah, I mean, I one Happy to spend this year with y'all. We definitely got closer than we ever have. Yeah, as with some other people that aren't here, but RIP, fuck them.
