Show Notes Transcript Chapter Markers

Ever feel like life's a game and we're all just trying to figure out the rules? SlideShow, Fur1ous & AJ sure do, and we're here to swap stories that might just crack the code. This time around, we're chatting about the grandiose idea that our existence might be one big simulation, filled with challenges, alliances, and opportunities to leave our mark. Join us for a laugh or two, as we toy with the notion that our neighbors might be NPCs, given how rarely we see them drag their trash cans to the curb.

Strap in as we journey through the tactical plays of daily life, mapping out the alliances we form like a pro sports team, & the legacy we aspire to leave behind—statues and all. We're spilling our personal game plans, from self-improvement to spiritual quests, & candidly sharing how we might react if we were ever to stumble upon our partner's infidelity. Life's not just about climbing to the top; it's also about the grit we show when we're at our lowest and the self-control to walk away from situations that could lead us astray.

As our conversation sails into darker waters, we confront the harrowing "Custom of the Sea," a stark reminder of the lengths humans will go to for survival. It's not all grim, though; we also reflect on the desire to live well into our centennial years, full of zest & wisdom. Let's not forget the impact we imprint on this world, whether it's a Kobe-sized legacy or the everyday kindness that shapes lives. Tune in to Timeless Talk where we're not just shooting the breeze but weaving the tapestry of our legacy, moment by moment.

Speaker 1:

Bro came in with a butcher knife. He came in the room swinging. I think he caught the dude twice. I sling, sling the dude, the dude, he smart. The wife was like no way. He pushed the wife into the dude and then he took off and then the dude was like to his wife. He was like oh shit, he got her like 20 times.

Speaker 2:

He killed her. She died on the bed. She died on the bed.

Speaker 1:

That was it Done, uh.

Speaker 2:

And welcome back to the conversation that never ends. This is Timeless Talk. I'm your host, aj man, that's a lot of kickback. I really feel like I'm in a gymnasium somewhere in the fucking room. Nah, man, we back for another episode. Y'all know how it is. This is Timeless Talk, where I'll be. Y'all here with us.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's funny how that applause sounds so intimate and I sound like I'm speaking to a stadium of people. You know what I mean. Anyway, y'all to my right. As always, we have Slide Show. Thanks for coming back, bro. You found your way back, Welcome back man.

Speaker 1:

I did, I found the milk, I'm not going to get that.

Speaker 2:

You found the milk. You came back. Sound like some of those parents out there, dads that go get milk and don't come back. Damn All right, y'all Over here to my left. Last, but certainly not least, Wait a minute. We got Furious Yo over here dropping shells on him.

Speaker 1:

All right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, how you doing today, bro. Pretty good man. How's it? Y'all, we're good man, we're good. You know what I mean. Let me get up off this PA make-a-phone now, back on the regular mic with y'all here, all right? Well, I'm proud to say this episode. Actually, I'm not going to take the reins. I'm going to pass the reins over to my boy, furious, over here on my left. Appreciate it. He wrote the topic. So we're going to have an interesting one today that you're taking the reins today, brother, and then next week Slide Show is going to come cocking loaded with something to talk about. So we're going to try a little different formula.

Speaker 1:

I actually thought I was going to do it today, so Did you? Did you ever read it? I already have. Yeah, I'll let you know afterwards, all right?

Speaker 2:

Cool, cool, but all right, Furious, go ahead, man. All right, so Take us away, sir.

Speaker 3:

What's today about? So today we're going to be talking about the game of life and to touch on that, it's a theory that you're in, basically a simulation that has a set of rules and there's a certain amount of time and effort you need to navigate your way around this space. It's an arbitrary system and there's just a lot. There's a lot that goes into it when you apply this theory. So let me see, let's go first over what a game is. A game is a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one, played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, et cetera. Or it could be a complete episode or period of play ending in a definite result.

Speaker 3:

Oh well, what is life? A principle or force that is considered to underlie the distinctive quality of animate beings and also the sequence of physical and mental experiences that make up the existence of an individual. So I'll start with this Welcome to life, the place of damn near endless possibilities, twist and turns, opportunities to learn, opportunities to burn. The start is rough for most of us, but the choices you make will show you what you're about. We only live once. We'll only die once. Make your plays and may the best man win, anyone and everyone who has ever existed has been an unwilling participant in the ultimate experience, the ultimate scenario, the ultimate game, with consequences as real as the clothes on your back. Don't take this game lightly. It's easy to get comfortable with the status quo. That is not a game and that is not a competition. It is, and whether you like it or not, you will either play or be played. There is no other alternative.

Speaker 3:

It is to do or to be done to. That's real. Real. There is no escape. But the finish line Suicide is not a win.

Speaker 3:

Complaining doesn't help. We like to believe it's just about surviving and staying peaceful. But survival alone is a competition, and peace can only be achieved when there is no competition. That reality can never be, partly because it takes away from the human experience of improving and getting better. Look to your left, then to your right. That's your competition. The reason we aren't as competitive is because we have too much. That's in my opinion. We only hunt for fun and not out of necessity. Everything is ready, made. You don't have to run if you don't want to. When it used to be the other way around, people had a reason to want to improve. Impending death. The thing that makes people comfortable within this very real game is the belief that they'll be here tomorrow.

Speaker 3:

The rules are what they are and they're quite simple. However, individual results work very greatly. Rules can be bent and are frequently broken with no one to observe it. All of this is a result of the built-in double-edged sword desire. We are all ruled by one thing our desire. How we go about getting that accomplished is up to us. Do your desires? Adhere to the rules or not? If not, are you willing to bend or break the rules to gain what you desire? If so, you understand that you are in a game. There is no escape but death, and if it's premature, you have escaped nothing. Ultimately, the game is unbeatable. You can win whilst you're here, but eventually you'll cease to exist. So how do you leave your mark? You win.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yo, it's an unbeatable game, man, that's a. Okay, I see you, bro, it's heavy. We just started the simulation.

Speaker 3:

Yo man, what do you? What's your?

Speaker 2:

Take on that, your take on that. Yes, can be your slideshow.

Speaker 3:

Both, whoever wants to go first.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's like man, you know what? Just listen into that man. Well, first of all, if y'all told me he was doing poetry, I'd have brought my poetry book. We could have really got something cracking.

Speaker 3:

That was just the opener.

Speaker 1:

That was just the opener. He's like I'm warming up man Now. I always wondered. I always Now I mean just even stepping away from religion I always wondered. You know, I always thought life could be like a simulation type of thing, or like if you want to take into a sense, like you know, gta and all that stuff.

Speaker 1:

like I, don't know, I always thought I don't know. It's funny because I seen a meme to a meme said I could prove to you. It was stupid though it was like I could prove to you. We're in a simulation Like it was. Like have you ever seen your neighbors take out the trash? But they were saying the business is always offside on Fridays, but you never seen them take out the trash. Have you ever seen them, I seem, to get up trashed? No, If my neighbors have never seen it, bro, I have Never. It's always like always out there, and then you never see when they bring it back in.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, or maybe, or maybe or maybe, yeah, you might hear it or you see it. You only see it when the AI knows that you're watching, or you're outside Right. That make sense, yeah, bro. Or the whole simulation. Thing that goes with it too is that when you walk into a room, the room loads only when you're in it.

Speaker 1:

So like right now, like if you're not there Because you observe it Because you observe it. So right now my room, everything over there I shot is not there, it doesn't exist.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't exist, it's not even loading.

Speaker 1:

I used to think like that.

Speaker 2:

I used to think like that, bro You're only what you see, what loads around you, and then it goes and just dissipates when you walk past it. But what?

Speaker 1:

do you guys think about that though.

Speaker 3:

I mean for like simulation purposes. I mean who knows? You know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

But I mean.

Speaker 2:

They showed it in a row too, but that was like, that was just fog. You guys were seeing those videos where they were like look, the simulation is loading as I'm driving.

Speaker 3:

You ever seen that in a row? The roads are fog. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the roads are, or a mirage, the roads appearing in front of them as they're driving. That's pretty crazy.

Speaker 2:

I've seen that before. But then again that could be just chocked up to a mirage or fog. You know what I mean. That could be chocked up to a lot of things that we can make that make sense. Does that make sense? You know what I'm saying? But then there's, that could be fog, that could be, like I said, a mirage, because mirage looks like damn, you're like water. You guys have all seen a mirage. They look like water from far away as you get closer.

Speaker 1:

That's like the hallucination, but the crazy thing is, how can two people see it at the same time?

Speaker 3:

Because we're in the same environment. That's why I mean you know what I'm saying. You might not see exactly the same. You're going to see certain differences, but we're in the same, just like we both see this tripod.

Speaker 1:

We all see this tripod. It's there. You know what I mean, but then the mirage isn't really there.

Speaker 3:

I mean it's there, but both of you will see it. It's coming. No, I said well.

Speaker 2:

I mean it's there, but it's not there. It's there, but it's not there. That's a. Yeah, that's the confusion part about it, you know what.

Speaker 3:

I mean that's one of the confusion parts, you know, Because there's a lot of contradictions too.

Speaker 1:

Is there explanation for that?

Speaker 3:

Probably.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I would think there would be, but is it an easy one to poke out? Probably not.

Speaker 1:

Because what I heard somebody say is like your brain is playing games on you because it's too hot. So it's like it's envisioned it won't.

Speaker 3:

So basically, what you're saying is that you're? I mean, I've heard this before too. Is that you're? We're all like hallucinating our reality. Basically Right, but I've heard that one before You're hallucinating the same thing. But the thing is, it's the way that hallucinator is used. You know what I'm saying. It's not necessarily meaning that you're tripping. You're experiencing a reality. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

Like you see that and you're like, yeah, I see that, yeah, it's not for real.

Speaker 2:

And I also heard that when you take certain stimulators or certain eye-opening, quote-unquote drugs, they say that you're seeing what you wouldn't normally see.

Speaker 1:

It lifts the veil.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, why do you think that is I?

Speaker 1:

always believe that too.

Speaker 2:

Why do you think that is Huh? Why do you think that is Because you got to do something to the brain in order to see?

Speaker 3:

certain shit. I mean my reason, what I think it is, is because we're in the third dimension, right? So of course there's more than three dimensions, right?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

So if everything exists, kind of like on the same plane but just in a different Dimension, scope or dimension it's like the way it looks you're not going to be able to articulate it from that level. You know what I mean. Like your senses aren't going to be able to articulate that To pick it up.

Speaker 1:

Huh, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

It's going to look different to you, distorted. Probably you know what I mean Because it's not in your realm. You know what I mean, like all the 3D things, those things we can see and observe and we can touch and do all that stuff you know, but in a different dimension, at a different level, different wavelengths probably. You probably don't know that it might be closer than farther because it looks fucking trippy. You don't know where it is, what up is, what down is.

Speaker 2:

Everything changes you know, yeah, so there's different rules. Dynamic is different, exactly.

Speaker 3:

That's crazy, I mean it took me a while to explain that, but that's how complex it is you know, what I mean Like it's a mind fuck to even think about it.

Speaker 2:

No, it really is though.

Speaker 1:

Hey, somebody was, so I watched a video, somebody described it, but no, just the first, second, third dimension, like one is flat, then the other one is what? Like up and down.

Speaker 3:

So the first one, I think, is a dot. Second one is from the dot to another dot. It's like a line or something like that and that if you make two of those parallel and you make another line and you perform a plane or something like that, then the third dimension is when you have depth, so it's not just flat Now, you have space within it.

Speaker 2:

Depth yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

So that's what makes it the third dimension. I think fourth is just gets more complex after that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and it's like he lost me at the fourth one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he lost me at the fourth one. You lost me at that one, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Man, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's, that's going to a place where it's like man bro, I don't know what to you know what I mean. Like because we don't know what to it's the unknown right.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

It's a rabbit hole. Everybody's afraid to go down. Well, not afraid to go down, but some of us are just getting very controversial.

Speaker 3:

So here's the topics that hopefully we can touch on, all these topics, but here's a few topics that we're going to touch on when it comes to playing the game of life. Okay, forming alliances and building teams, strategy, social awareness, self-control, core beliefs, life or death scenarios, morality, deception, influence, love, fortitude Any extreme examples are used only to grab your attention and put you in the driver's seat, so they're not necessarily common, but they do happen from time to time. You know so. Forming alliances the game is interesting when you meet other players, individuals you wouldn't interact with, and end up interacting with and forming tribes or gangs. This is all in an attempt to survive against other groups, but mostly for individual protection or installation from unwanted consequences. Look at your place of work and you'll see this in full effect, but no one will ever say it's because of the game.

Speaker 3:

They'll say so-and-so is cool or so-and-so is this and that I like this person, etc. You're basically forming a team, or at least a pseudo team, for work and work. Only Some teams from work extend beyond the walls of your occupation. These wouldn't be pseudo teams but in fact are greater and more impactful than your work teams. Each type has its own advantages. For example, your work team can give you intel about the state of your job. Your other team gets you ahead beyond the walls of your job with group endeavors, etc.

Speaker 3:

Look around and pay attention to what people do, how they move and what they say, and you'll see that plenty of the people you know have already been actively playing the game. They just didn't tell you Thanks. So example like this is just a regular example. After playing at a high level of basketball from high school through college, you're proving that you can play at an elite level in a racuta to join an NBA team. So because of your skill, other players want to play with you. Just because when you're good at something, you do bring value to your play style. Of course, especially if you're getting resources from a reward, you're getting ahead further in the game. You know what I'm saying Different stages, different levels, so people are going to want to align themselves with you you know what I'm saying, or vice versa.

Speaker 3:

But it's all in an effort to get ahead. You know what I mean. It's all in an effort to beat the game. So it's like you get you.

Speaker 2:

It's almost like Sorry, I'm going to cut you off, but it's kind of like you're making the lines to the people that you think are going to help better. You Exactly, or get you to the next level.

Speaker 3:

And that's just at its core. It's not like, let's say, saying that someone's like looking at you, like oh, align. You know, it's not like that Of course you know like you might click and this and that, but that's the core. You know impetus or the core like spark that really does it. You know what I'm saying, like that's our instinct to survive, To do that yeah.

Speaker 2:

So we form groups to survive, but because we're you did a really good job with this, by the way. Man Appreciate you man. Hey man, hey man, yeah, you're not right. You did a good job putting Bonnalena out for you, for us, man, Honestly, I appreciate it bro. Yeah man, I appreciate it, man.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, man, thanks. So what are your perspectives on that? Like, would you Like? What I said about the forming of lines is like, what would you say? What would you say that?

Speaker 1:

you see, actually, when you said that, man, it made me think of like even just what we're doing in our personal lives now, like, how you said, you know, forming alliances, as far as like getting ahead of the game, like everything we do, I feel like builds up to that. Like for example, like going for LAPD. You're trying to get, I guess, better pay in life, Sustainable.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, better sustainability, better benefits, better benefits, yeah, to live a better life, yeah, yeah, so Give you more tools to do more.

Speaker 1:

Not even for you, but just for your family all together too.

Speaker 2:

No, of course yeah.

Speaker 1:

So it's like, yeah, it's like I'm kind of seeing like slowly and slowly as we progress. I'm kind of seeing what you mean by like playing the game. It's just like just just getting further better in life, right, just trying to get on top, basically.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and this is another reason why people say like you know if you can be kind of everyone that you need, because you never know who you talking to. You never know what kind of player they are, what kind of connections they have. You know what kind of advantages they have.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, thanks, you know what I'm saying Sometimes people talk out of line you know what I'm saying they might not say the right things in the right moment and that can extem out of you know, you know future. You know like co-plays you know what I'm saying yeah, which could help them further their endeavors. So it's like you got to be cool with everyone, that you know what I'm saying, that you mean. That's why there's that golden rule you know what I'm saying Because it's for you and them. Yeah, you know what I mean. But it's like once people start being petty people start being you know what I'm saying you start affecting people's play styles. Now they have to change it. You know what I'm saying. And then you become real, then you really become a competition. So it's it always kind of like reverts back to that when you, when you strip away all the all the feelings, emotions and all the rules and all that stuff, that's, that's just what I see.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, that's, that's sweet Dang, that's a trip bro, and that's why, and that's really what it is, though I think. I think that people are either either aware of it or they're not aware of it.

Speaker 1:

I don't really some people see reality different than others.

Speaker 2:

They're still in it, though they are still in it. They're still in it. They're still in it, like you said there's no, there's no way to take it away, there's no way to take a loss Like I might not say no names, but you got that really, really overweight motherfucker that just gave up Right, like.

Speaker 3:

I enjoy being this way, when really they don't enjoy being that way.

Speaker 2:

But they just say that shit because they're too lazy to correct it. That's how I say it. I don't give a shit who takes offense to this. You know I have love for y'all watching who watch and listen to this show. But I'm going to say it, I'm going to keep it a buck and I'm sure you guys agree Go ahead offender.

Speaker 1:

You write fuck Over.

Speaker 2:

Whatever, you know what, over easy Fuck you. That's the time is talk bitch I just talked to loaded on the show my boy, nah, but anyway, honestly, if you're fat, bro, like, if you're really really fat, you're like, and you don't just give up, you gave up on life. If you're really that big, it just shows your laziness on the outside. I'm a stick by that. I'm chunky myself. So I'm saying this not just to motivate my fat listeners and viewers out there, but myself as well, because I'm not the skinniest dude ever and I know I need to work on it Because I've never been this big.

Speaker 2:

I know I've told you all this right and I know I'm not a lazy person, because obviously this takes effort. You guys know I'm not lazy man. I'm not lazy. But it's like I like to eat, I like to do some stuff that's destructive. You know what I'm saying to my health and to my overall. You know what I'm saying. So I'm aware of that. That's so you're not always necessarily lazy, but I feel like the ones that are profusely overweight, those are the motherfuckers that are lazy man, because they don't do shit. They go to work through the bare minimum and then they go home. So I don't eat. You know what I'm saying? Sit down and eat and they don't do shit, else they watch their shows. They probably don't even shower every day, which makes it even worse, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1:

I'm gonna be surprised, yeah, man.

Speaker 2:

So you guys see what I'm going to. I'm just saying for those of you watching out there, don't be offended, man. I just feel like, hopefully, maybe this can be an eye opener to the ones that are like that, that could they just turn it around. It ain't too late for you. You know, I don't get too sidetracked. This is great man. Never too late. It's never too late, man. Yeah, it's never too late, exactly. I mean, I just started, I'm already past day one.

Speaker 3:

So Because, even with them it's like you know, they're still, they're still going to suffer the rules of the game, because, rules are still this it don't stop for nobody. Your body has its own kind of game going on health, you know what I'm saying. Like you got to be at a healthy way, you got to be at a healthy fitness level. You know what I'm saying. To have optimal performance. It doesn't. Is it across the board?

Speaker 1:

No, but in general, in general, you know, generally speaking, that's the you know you know the game, bro is, it's playing the game, but it's more like rolling dice.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because there's no guaranteed outcome for anything.

Speaker 3:

There's none, but there's, there is a pattern. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And I think I think of what I could say to man about. I chime in real quick, if you all don't mind my idea of winning the, because you said something when you were doing the monologue in the beginning, like you said something about you can't really, you can't really beat the game or win the game, but you can. The only way you can leave it, the only way you can technically win, is if you leave a mark. Yeah, right, right, or that's what you said. Or the way to leave a mark is you win Skid mark.

Speaker 1:

So what I?

Speaker 2:

understood from that? No, exactly Huh.

Speaker 1:

Like a skid mark, like a skid mark.

Speaker 2:

What the fuck that's your mark, man Yo bro, he said a skid mark. A skid mark.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, bro, you know I agree with that Skid mark. Skid mark, is it, bro man? But but, um, no, bro, I honestly think. So. My version of my understanding of that for that right would be in order to, in order to win in life, right, it's like you almost have to be delusional when you're chasing something, Right? And what I mean by that is every, every famous rapper, artist. They've all said something similar to that. I had to keep telling myself I'm gonna, I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it Right. Even they said that you almost have to lie to yourself, Like I'm almost like in a delusion that you're going to have it one day and then, eventually, you're manifesting that into reality, right? So I think, in order to technically win the game, like you said, is leave a mark. So how do you leave?

Speaker 3:

a mark you remember. It's like grinding.

Speaker 2:

You have to grind. You're branding. Yeah, you remembered. I'll give you an example Kobe motherfucker about to have three statues draw LA. I think he won, bro. You know what I'm saying. He won for sure Because in several different ways he broke records in the NBA right, he set records. He set a bar you know what I'm saying in his favorite sport. That was his life. Then he has. Now he has statues all over the city, the. In this world at least he won, if you believe in God, obviously, like did he win in that world?

Speaker 3:

We don't know, oh we assume that he's in paradise, or he could really be national teeth right now.

Speaker 2:

Hopefully I don't hope that on his soul. You know what I mean, but who knows?

Speaker 3:

No, here's a good thing about this. Is that the, is that the? In my opinion, God can coexist with this.

Speaker 2:

I mean, he's the admin, Anyways of course, he's the one watching, he's overseeing everything, so would you agree with that ideology, though, of that being the win? That's how you win in this game.

Speaker 3:

Leave your mark Leave your mark and be remembered, like you got statues. Obviously, you don't remember. I don't think so. There's different ways, but that's the ultimate way.

Speaker 1:

I'm saying the world's way, that's the world's definition, that's the world's leaderboard. That way, you know, it is the world's definition.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Thing is it's like we have.

Speaker 3:

You stay on the world's leaderboard though.

Speaker 2:

There you go. Oh, cassie was saying like a high score, you're like stamp, like a high score, like a video game.

Speaker 3:

You should stand right there, bro, and you see, the thing is like they got statues somewhere from Martin Luther King for you know all these big yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, his points are different, but nobody he had influence.

Speaker 1:

But once you're once you're, once you're direct circle, you know, once they're off the game board as well, it's like you're just kind of like a no.

Speaker 3:

but then you become legend, but like you become, you are. Your time has passed already, but it, but within that time your name is making waves, you know me yeah, like like you still have influence.

Speaker 1:

But you know, but you don't have nothing else to gain from it, though. No, no, enlist forever, yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's. I don't think there's any, any winning as far like something that don't, that shouldn't even be to go. Yeah, no, Technically yeah winning, winning.

Speaker 3:

Okay, leaving your mark. It can be anything no saying it doesn't have to necessarily be this or that, but it's like, whatever you leave, that's your legacy, man.

Speaker 1:

You know what you said for what they do for us, no that's true.

Speaker 3:

Now let's say to me someone winning is so is someone who, who sets a goal, is like, oh, like I want this and they're able to get that shit. That to me is is winning. I'm saying now, now, if that goal, if that them getting, that is also setting their mark dope. You know, I mean, maybe it's not always gonna like set the mark them, them getting like what they want. You know, I'm saying, yeah, but maybe for them they don't have to set the mark me. I just put that like send them out, because I know some people want to want to want to be remembered.

Speaker 1:

Everybody want to be remembered.

Speaker 2:

That's the ultimate win.

Speaker 3:

You know I'm saying having your name in fucking history. That's not being here one time think about other people that are there talked about 10,000 years ago, bro right, I'm saying and mean it's like they're not here to hear it being, to hear their name being being spoken, but I think it's dope that they're that they're not here, bro.

Speaker 1:

There's something discussed exactly.

Speaker 3:

Like part of why the shit's the way it is. Hmm, this is religion plan.

Speaker 1:

Look at it, it could. Because it's part of history.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, people have made ultimate. You know the people have made Freakin crazy decisions off of it. So it's not.

Speaker 1:

I think it's a sign of fear. What do you say? What's a sign of fear? I think it's a sign of fear. What is One in a, one in a? Not necessarily one in the leave an impact, but because I leave it impact as cool and everything, but I think wanted to be remembered. I think that's a sign of fear. You don't want to be forgotten.

Speaker 3:

There's an issue that you don't remember because you don't want to be forgotten. You may, you might want to be remembered so that. So you can. You can inspire people to know. That's one thing, but every time, you're.

Speaker 1:

Somebody say they want to be remembered. It's because they don't want to be forgotten. But that's not everybody. It's not everybody, but at least the people I've heard, maybe generally speaking.

Speaker 3:

People want to be remembered for like vain reasons, you know yeah but there's always one or some who want to actually, you know, have you know an impact yeah an actual impact a real, one, tangible Okay so we're talking about people that actually want to rule impact anybody. Honestly it's not. It could be for anybody in the game.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay how, what, what kind of record do you want to leave behind?

Speaker 1:

legacy.

Speaker 2:

They said earlier goes back to legacy.

Speaker 1:

But for example, like if you, if you do something, like Okay, kobe, I got not.

Speaker 2:

I want to say Because that's, or even Jordan, yeah, one of them. Well, that's okay, okay.

Speaker 1:

Look so.

Speaker 3:

I'm okay, I'll give you another one.

Speaker 2:

We'll do different. Yeah, you know those exactly. Those are other. Or sports wise, Jackie Robinson.

Speaker 1:

No, but sports, of sports I'm talking about. Oh, you say like that, this is my actual Actually change something.

Speaker 2:

That's a good example when I use growth apart, see, but when I use Kobe earlier I was using as an example with someone that Well, that's one in their life. That's personal win, my personal gain. But you, what you're talking about now, that's big too. I fight. And that might even be grander. Let's be honest like people like you know, the Harriet Tubman's of the world, the people that you know, the people that did the underground railroad, those motherfuckers were the ones that really changed lives, man.

Speaker 3:

But they really change the forces stuff. You know what I mean. But they weren't trying to be in a, but they had to do man.

Speaker 2:

I don't want to get it wrong, guys, but she who was the one that did the underground railroad, was it?

Speaker 1:

She's a gangster, shout her out guys.

Speaker 2:

I know we just miss black history month, but I still gotta show my love when I get a chance. You know I'm saying she's a gangster. And you know how scary that is to be doing that shit to know what think about.

Speaker 2:

What kind of risk was right above their heads. That is scary, man. So props to her, and everybody was in her camp to make that a reality. Man, cuz that's shit. You know that they weren't playing back then, man, and I'm all put to death for that shit. So, hey, shout out to her and her loved ones and her Extension of her family.

Speaker 1:

Cuz man that, let me ask them before you close out. We're here to me Cuz. I read a book on. Her broke good when she was it, when she was a young girl. I forgot how she was.

Speaker 2:

You might have been a lot of me to talk to you by about you were trying to get.

Speaker 1:

Might have been around like 10 or 11 or something like that, and I think her family at the time were like owned by, like you know, slave owners or whatever the case may be, and I think she didn't know how to do something, or she did something wrong and Her master, in time or whatever, smack during the head. I forgot what he smacked her in the head with, but he, he like broke her skull At the age of like 10 to 12, something like that and like I guess like that's why she kind of looks a little.

Speaker 2:

Like that's crazy. That's crazy. I didn't know that. That's nuts man. I will say this, though, before you go on to your next, your next talking point, I want to ask you the people, these influential people that we're talking about, then? This ties into today's topic, which is Like the game of life. Right, would you say? These people are game changers. That's what they are, right, people that abolish slavery, right, people, like you know, the Lincoln's that helped out the black community, and also the people that were going through the slave ships and all that.

Speaker 2:

They were game changers right people that that abolish stuff change the system so that the overall simulation, if you want to call it that they find a way to penetrate it and change the course of it, would you guys agree?

Speaker 3:

They change. They change something or yeah. Actually, that has a profound effect. Yeah, the rest of the gameplay along with other history, historic events.

Speaker 2:

It's like a patch, you know. Yeah, I like that. So would you?

Speaker 1:

guys, would you guys separate the two categories that we spoke about, like sports and you know? Would you separate that like legacy and destiny, like it has to fall in between those two?

Speaker 3:

No, I mean it's all encompassing, in my opinion.

Speaker 1:

Like it all counts for something.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it all took towards some, yeah, certain goal or the main goal, really. Yeah but you were saying oh, go ahead brother.

Speaker 3:

So yeah, so that was forming alliances. And then it leads us to strategy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we kind of got. We're still on topic for forming alliances, right Kind of sorry. We're a little off, but as far, well, one thing I saw. One last thing I do want to say about forming alliances. We have an alliance right here. Right, this is a form of an alliance, right, because we're us doing this, we're trying to better, you know they're the alliance you guys are the alliance to.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I'm saying us three we're like the forefront of it. You guys are part of this alliance. You're right. You know he's right. You guys are the alliance. Shout out to our viewers and listeners out there.

Speaker 3:

You know, you know put that out there real quick.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, appreciate y'all. You know me.

Speaker 3:

Next one. We're gonna talk about strategy. Cool, all right. So the game is about strategy and if not structured correctly, it'll undo a lot you at plan, for example. This is one of many reasons you must be aware of those who only ask for things and never give anything in return. The person opposite, the person opposite to you, is strategizing on how to get something from you. They're formulating how to ask you, how to approach you, how to sell you. Their idea of giving them something, whatever it is, is up to you if you'll buy it or not. Think back far enough Maybe not even that far and you'll find a similar instance. Businesses strategize on how to get your money from your pocket to the register. People within your proximity are no different. If they truly want something from you, they'll strategize on how to get it from you, whether by coercion force or a mixture of the two. People who understand the game take this aspect of the game very seriously. There is no specific look of the strategizer, nor even certain actions, because many play styles can be used Strategically.

Speaker 3:

The proof if it works is in the results. Strategy is one of the core mechanics of the game. So, example a New position has opened up at your place of work. There's only one position and there's three qualified individuals. One, you know, you've that, that you can be for sure, but the other one is a little too qualified. You might have to manipulate the system to get what you want. Should you make them look bad? Make yourself look better? What do you do if you want to win? So what's your take on?

Speaker 2:

that what's your strategy to win?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I mean, when it comes to strategy, like you know, like you want something. You know, like you, it's for the benefit of you Know, I'm saying for your greater good. How do you go?

Speaker 2:

I think because finding, like it kind of goes back to the last one which was forming a good alliance. I feel like I feel like you, having like-minded people with the same goals in mind right.

Speaker 2:

We'll help you get there. But say what, as far as what you could do for self, get your ass in the gym, make yourself self-improvement that way, but also like Mentally read books, man, do stuff that's gonna, you know, also feed that. I feel like if you get the right advice from the right people or you follow the word of God you know I'm saying that's the biggest one, right, you do those things and you take care of the temple, man, then you should be fine and it's gonna be hard to stay, you know, consistent with it. But that's another one, it's consistency, man.

Speaker 2:

All right if I'm says my take on it. You know consistency, you know saying balance, a well-balanced diet. All this stuff's hard. It's easy to say, but to follow it out loud, that's the hard part to walk the walk.

Speaker 1:

You know I'm saying easy to talk to talk.

Speaker 2:

I'm saying, as long as you have those, those weapons, then this strategically should help you, guide you to whatever you're trying to do, right, but there's no guidelines to this shit as far as how to do it, how to get there, how you do it, it's how you do it, know to get it exactly Freestyle because, to be honest, y'all came up.

Speaker 2:

Everybody came up differently, bro. You know, even J Cole said he's like, yeah, man, he's out of. You almost had to be delusional. A lot of you, like you said, lie to yourself. But you got to just know that you, what you're doing and the work that you're putting into the music in his case, music it's gonna pay off eventually. That was his strategy. Look at him now, you know what I'm saying. And obviously he came up differently than Kendrick and Drake and all those guys came up a little differently. Drake had us foot the door with acting. You get the point. That's just an entertainment. Now, these other big names that did an influential changes in history, they, they grinded to. It was a little bit of a different grind, well, I'm saying, but their strategies led them to where they're going. But anyway, I don't want to go on. I digress slideshow about you. Strategic strategy wise. What would you In this?

Speaker 1:

game of life. Yeah, I Figured out my strategy. What's your take on a strategy? Yeah, it's usually worked out pretty good for me, but my strategy is as far as the, as far as the example you gave in the workplace I Tend to like not or take a take a humble approach. I would say it's never been my thing to make somebody look bad so I could look good. Yeah, that's never been my thing.

Speaker 1:

My thing is it if it's, if it's for me, it'll come to me, kind of thing. So it's like me. I just try to be the Continue being, because the thing is, if you're working with people and, like you said, like a position opens up and you act, different people are going to tell us to act. If you start acting, different big facts. So you have to be.

Speaker 3:

We've always been. I understand that. No, so that's like no, that's like being like a good person, right? Yeah, I get that, yeah, but my thing is just like. It's like you only have, okay, this is there's no one else in your, in your vehicle with you. It's just you, okay. Okay, there's your race, right. So it's like the finish lines right here. Okay, we're not thinking about morality or anything like that.

Speaker 3:

I'm saying you also not looking left to right. Exactly how do you get there before this person? Okay, like this, let's. Let's take morality out of it. What's your strategy to get ahead? Take morality out of it. Hmm and you'll see how much, how much of a game it is, because morality is the thing, that. That's what kind of like Shifts, things you know saying, you're saying, but like let's say, if you didn't care, well, what would you do? You know, mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:

It's one of those things where, like, like you said, like a race, like you don't focus on everybody else, you just like I'm racing myself. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

You want a drone pace right, that part, but how do you? But it's like, it's like they can only be one winner, like, like, if you're in that, if you're in that, that scenario, how do you? You know?

Speaker 2:

Do you even want to win? That's true. Is that your?

Speaker 3:

answer for strategy.

Speaker 2:

Hmm, is that your answer for strategy?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, because, because because what if the point does come right, right like in this, in this time, in this life, right where For you to, for you to survive, there's something that you have to do against your, against your Morality, whether small or big, you don't know what it is, but it's something that you have to do. Yeah, are you willing to do? It Depends on what it is exactly but that's, I'm saying yeah.

Speaker 3:

That's what I'm saying. But but morality. At a certain point we choose when to cut it off. Oh for sure, we choose how we want to play this that's like yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's like that was good and bad me determine that exactly that's like the whatever time that we feel that that's not kill, but let somebody come break up in that house at night time and then.

Speaker 3:

Or the son, like take your wife. I said, somebody takes your wife. Yeah, oh, in your bed or some shit.

Speaker 1:

Oh well, that's well. Well, you mean, you mean pass away? Oh well, then she was never mind to begin with. You bought back Superman.

Speaker 2:

That's the word, bro.

Speaker 3:

flexing you buddy, that should be being a good person, right, but some people they take it around.

Speaker 2:

You know what I'm saying. Well, let me ask you this then, bro.

Speaker 3:

So if Go ahead Because you brought the show.

Speaker 2:

You see, you said you shouldn't have said it, you brought the show back up. I had to say it, bro. You brought this on yourself, you brought this on yourself. What you go ahead and go ahead, let me. It's a little bit Over easy. He said where? Oh, hell, no, what, what, what, what did I say? Okay, you were like okay, what would you do? Would you have the urge to kill somebody that was in your bed with another woman?

Speaker 2:

I literally thought back to the other episode where you're like he's still a superman and he's fucking me. So what would you say if bro did that? Oh shit. And as he's looking at it, he's like yeah, motherfucker, I just got ahead of you in this game and he just kept drilling it right there.

Speaker 1:

He just kept blitzing his cheeks out. Oh yeah, the game of life.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he's like I'm with you now, motherfucker. Now let's say this is your wife, right here, this is your wife and he's just drilling her shit. Bro, if I wasn't aware, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 3:

it, bro, If I wasn't aware of, like what this shit is right, and if I didn't, I wasn't mature, If I wasn't you know, on some petty stupid shit just in my feelings I'd probably kill them. Of course you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Like that's some aggressive shit.

Speaker 1:

This is your wife right here, this is your wife right here.

Speaker 3:

You know what I'm saying, or I'd probably like. All right, so what would mature you then.

Speaker 1:

What would mature you then? I would walk away.

Speaker 2:

All right, what about?

Speaker 1:

you, I'd take a picture and walk away. All right, there you go.

Speaker 2:

I like that fellas.

Speaker 1:

Good job. Yeah, the picture would be for court Right. The picture would be for court. Hell yeah bro.

Speaker 3:

You know, but still you know I'm saying just fucking walk away. You know what I mean, but that. But of course, while you're walking away you still have all these emotions in you.

Speaker 1:

That are telling you man, fuck that fool. That's bro. That's why you just but that's like God, don't even think about it. Don't think about it.

Speaker 3:

But that's what I'm saying it's like, but Don't think about it. But in that instance, you can choose to do that.

Speaker 2:

Because, to be honest, masculine-wise, that's gonna eat your soul. No, bro, it will. I actually seen a video like that bro.

Speaker 1:

Bro didn't bro, I already knew what was going on. I don't know if you've seen the dude truck parking in the front or what. Bro came in with a butcher knife. He came in the room swaying. I think he caught the dude twice Like sling, sling the dude. The dude, he's smart. The wife was like, no wait, he pushed the wife into the dude and then he took off and then the dude was like to his wife. He was like, oh shit, he just gave it to her. He got her like 20 times.

Speaker 2:

She died on the bed. She died on the bed.

Speaker 1:

That was it Done, that was it Bro.

Speaker 2:

I mean Bro, sit here and take her.

Speaker 3:

No, yeah he, If I see that video again, I'm sending it to y'all.

Speaker 1:

He right here right now, butt naked.

Speaker 2:

We can't show y'all, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1:

Look at him, he was giving it to her. Non-stop Fuck man.

Speaker 2:

Slice and dice Bro, bro in there looking like Blade Trinity.

Speaker 1:

What the hell, what's up?

Speaker 2:

Blade Trinity, bro, it's like the game of life.

Speaker 1:

He threw his life away right there. That's it. This is the best he threw her life away.

Speaker 2:

He threw her life, for sure, bro man.

Speaker 1:

Congratulations. You played yourself. It's never that serious, bro.

Speaker 2:

No, no, I ain't never that serious, it's really an agri, throwing your whole life away over it? No, but what about you though, mr Furious? What about you? It's your answer for strategy, man. We can move on.

Speaker 3:

For strategy. I mean I'll say it just. I mean you can apply to any playstyle, it's just. You know you have to understand your advantages and your disadvantages. You know you got to understand what works for you and just what works for your play, just like when you play Call of Duty. Right, there's certain guns that you like, certain guns feel better in your hand with the controller, whatever, depending on what mods or whatever. So it's like, it's like that. You know you just have to go where you're good at.

Speaker 3:

You know what I'm saying. That's just for like basics.

Speaker 1:

Go with what you got.

Speaker 2:

Go with what you got.

Speaker 3:

That's the basic rule of thumb I would say Don't try to be something that you're not. I mean, unless you're already on your way to transforming into that then, yeah, but yeah basically Otherwise that's what you're doing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, otherwise, that's the best time for sure you got to work with your strengths.

Speaker 3:

Basically, yeah, you know, everyone's got a different build, mm-hmm, you know.

Speaker 2:

Different strategy, yeah, everything different, and that builds into your strengths or two. I think I hired your group. Your build is going to determine how you move, though, because not only that take.

Speaker 3:

Look, look, if you take, let's say everyone that like that, like we know, right, put them all, line them up all side by side, right Mm-hmm, and list all of the traits, all their advantages, right You're? Everyone's going to have different gains and losses. Everyone's going to have different places that they excel better than the next player. Yeah, if someone's going to have worse. Everyone's going to be flexible.

Speaker 2:

Well, how far gone is some players got to be man? I thought you were going to select them.

Speaker 3:

all fight, some are like, yeah, that.

Speaker 2:

And then some are cooks. Some are like in the net yeah, what, some are cooking cooks bro.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's crazy. Yeah, don't look that up. Don't look that up. Don't look that up Straight up. Oh shit, bro, read into it if you like, if a shoe fits where it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm just saying, man, I can't, I should edit that out. I'm going to edit that out.

Speaker 1:

Hey, that's not the distraction in the game of life. Right there, you have to edit that out. No, no, no, leave that shit in there.

Speaker 3:

He's the hashtag leave it there, boy.

Speaker 1:

No, I said that's another distraction in the game of life. It is. That's one of the main distractions. There's some.

Speaker 2:

I bring up that too, because I don't know how you could be a cuck. I don't, you don't understand.

Speaker 1:

Here we go I had to say it.

Speaker 2:

I don't get it, though, bro. You say here we go. That's a pathetic strategy. How could you be that way? That's a pathetic strategy. I'll say that it is.

Speaker 3:

It's.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to say that's a pathetic strategy.

Speaker 3:

That's a pathetic strategy.

Speaker 2:

Yo let him know, let's start over. He said a pathetic strategy.

Speaker 1:

That is a pathetic strategy, though, bro, or maybe not a strategy at all you need to reboot.

Speaker 2:

That's not a strategy.

Speaker 1:

Maybe not, but it's an antishag Bro how could you be that way?

Speaker 3:

I don't understand it. For money, no, or some people just.

Speaker 2:

Or a fucking fetish maybe I can't, bro.

Speaker 3:

I know nobody at this entire table.

Speaker 2:

Whatever put up with that shit, or you can be into that shit. Sorry, slychil, I just put it out there, bro, are you good? It's just who writes this shit. You know we're unscripted on time and stuff we don't write this shit.

Speaker 1:

He said who writes this shit.

Speaker 2:

He said who writes this shit? It's true, though.

Speaker 1:

I mean just to gain my life. No, I agree, I agree, I know what you mean, I was just kidding.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but it's true. Who does write this shit? I don't know, man, we'll go ahead and next.

Speaker 1:

Maybe that's the glitch in the matrix, then it probably is bro, I'm gonna be in doubt.

Speaker 3:

Another part of the game right is social awareness. Right and social awareness is developed through trial and error and direct observation. You need other players to build this skill, so, in essence, you must participate in the game. There's no Of course.

Speaker 3:

You know, know how to feel the room, you know this skill is useful in navigating the game with a little more finesse and can further your progress with a little bit less friction. It's not a perfect skill, meaning that it can be used perfectly. However, results may vary. You never want to appear too perfect, because that also creates opposition. Having social awareness can guide you in situations where you might feel pressured to do or act a certain way. You may have excellent social awareness at work and use it to your advantage to progress. No one would bat an eye at that. It would actually be praise. But if you are out with your buddies, let's say drinking, and you're too socially aware that you can't even knock a few beers back and just fucking shoot the shit, you look weird, you know Like. You're like what's up with this guy? You become suspicious as if you're hiding something, even though you may not be hiding something, you know you can come off like that Right, it's just.

Speaker 3:

So basically it's like overall social awareness is understanding how to read the room and also to tap into how the room feels.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yeah.

Speaker 3:

So yeah, it's just like let's say you're having Okay, when they give us the workplace scenarios and people are talking like, oh, they say something that's a little out of pocket. You know like, do you add to the joke or do you just be like nah, I'm not gonna say shit, that's basic social awareness yeah, do you add? To it? Nah, I don't add to it. You know what I?

Speaker 2:

mean he said hell, no, you know, but that just goes with. It goes with a lot of things, though, over easy.

Speaker 3:

You know what I'm saying, over easy.

Speaker 2:

It comes in 10. Sorry, go ahead and roll.

Speaker 3:

No, yeah but that goes with a lot of things. Just how, if you're talking with someone right, let's say, you're talking in private you don't necessarily have to say, oh, this is between us or hey, don't say anything. What do you say? Just because of Should already be known the magnitude is like okay, you wouldn't want this out, but sometimes people throw it in there between you and me.

Speaker 2:

The other days. You say that in the beginning.

Speaker 2:

And that's like your way of saying don't say shit elsewhere, just squeeze it in all the time though I was almost like it's a reassurance, I feel like you have to sometimes. Man, not everybody fucking catches that. You know what I mean. This is something that the fuck is like. Why would you think this is okay to repeat? You know what I mean. That's why now I don't do it to y'all, because I know y'all understand. You guys understand the program, some people don't, so I feel like I have to a lot of individuals throw that shit in there.

Speaker 1:

Real quick Like hey, you know between you and me.

Speaker 2:

You know, yeah, so I agree though it should be without saying automatically, you should know.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you know. Or if someone's or someone's like you know, like Mad Dog and you, chances are they probably don't like you, right, you know. So it's just social, it's just little nuances, but it can be applied to bigger things. Just as you know, if someone, let's say someone committed a crime or some shit you know what I mean and they're speaking, let's say that they're speaking in a way that they're trying to mask it, if you're socially aware, you might be able to pick up on something that they you know what I mean it gives them away.

Speaker 2:

Do you call it out, or do you just let it go? Do you say, hey, that's, that's up to you, I do.

Speaker 3:

That's up to you though, yeah, but that's where that skill comes in, I do. I agree, you do.

Speaker 1:

As long as it's not at work, I'll call it out. There you go, you go. Next the next part, okay.

Speaker 3:

So, alright, self-control, alright, there we go. That's probably the most important aspect of the game, and self-awareness, basically, because it can be applied to any facet of the game. Self-control is related to willpower and therefore contributes greatly to your success or failure within the game. This skill is quite often overlooked, either willingly or by proxy, due to circumstances, personal desires, etc. Self-control goes hand in hand with willpower it does. The more equal the two are, the more you're able to make stronger decisions. Decisions propel the game further. The game doesn't progress without this. Now here's the catch Doing nothing is still a decision, so it will only make the time pass by in a more agonizing way. Taking action cannot be avoided. You don't have to accept that you're in a game, but once you do, you're that much more ready to make sound decisions, independent of how someone may feel about it.

Speaker 2:

Bro, this makes me feel like we're in the Matrix. When you say shit like that, like once, you accept it. It's like once you take that pill bitch, and you realize we're in Because think about it, bro.

Speaker 3:

It's like that, though it is. Just think about all the shit that we always talk about, all the bullshit, bro. If you break it down, it's people playing games, bro. It is. They're playing games to get what they want. It is. And to move ahead and get this and get that, whatever it is. Where is sex? Fucking, money, job, whatever the fuck? You know what I'm saying. They're doing things.

Speaker 2:

And you hear people say all the time you're playing games. Yeah, they are.

Speaker 3:

It's said tongue in cheek, but it's really you playing a fucking game, everybody is what?

Speaker 2:

are you a midder or not? Yeah well, it's all about how you perceive it. It's crazy man.

Speaker 3:

You know you're crashing burn because sometimes they might spam. You know they might spam too much. They're saying the loose self control and they start spamming a certain action or certain move too much to get exhausted. Yes, I got it. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, so you know you're smashing that button.

Speaker 1:

It's a double S sword, that button no.

Speaker 2:

It's that button. No, sorry bro.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, what do you? What's your? Take man as far as the self control.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Self control in like we get ties in the self awareness and like how you know?

Speaker 3:

yeah, they're all self awareness.

Speaker 2:

No like, because you're saying social awareness in the last one.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so social awareness is like how you deal with other players, right. Self control is how you deal with yourself, with yourself in the game. You know what I'm saying and, of course, everything else.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

It's all encompassing, but specifically it's you in the game, you know, or you and other players, but social awareness is how you interpret nuances and you know what I'm saying Little you know what I'm saying, so that that gets into like how people believe in the karma.

Speaker 1:

Or you reap what you sow right.

Speaker 3:

No, social awareness. Wouldn't be that? That would be more like core belief.

Speaker 1:

Oh, we're doing the social awareness, because I was doing social awareness was was before.

Speaker 3:

this is self control, but what you're talking about with like karma and all that that's like more like core belief.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay.

Speaker 3:

Like, like your faith. It's a faith based type of thing it is.

Speaker 1:

And I act accordingly, like how I conduct myself with like this game of life based on like I believe I reap what I sow. That's morality though Okay so then that can't tie, they can't tie together.

Speaker 3:

No, they can. But I'm saying, but like, but like. Morality, that's like. Let's okay, like you have a more moral play style, that's what I would say.

Speaker 1:

Like your decision making without religion.

Speaker 3:

Other players are more ruthless.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know what I mean Do what they want.

Speaker 3:

Exactly. They don't give a fuck how you feel. Ryan cares how you feel. You know what I'm saying, or to an extent you know what I mean. I don't know how you.

Speaker 1:

So then that's like Damn bro. You don't care how I feel, bro, huh, you never know. You don't care how I feel, bro, I don't care how I feel.

Speaker 2:

You don't care how I feel. What are you talking about?

Speaker 3:

See elaborate. You're saying so. It's like when, so like your play style is more moral, right, you have more of a moral compass Because you're always Meaning yeah.

Speaker 2:

So when it comes to social awareness, you're saying that you keep people's feelings in your mind I do that I do that you consider other people.

Speaker 1:

You consider them, I do, but it's because I do the whole. I do the true people how I want to be treated.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so that's morality. You know what I'm saying. But I'm saying like, that affects how you play the game too. It affects the moves you make, how you go ahead. You know what I'm saying. So I'm saying there are other players who are more ruthless.

Speaker 1:

They don't give a fuck Like more selfish.

Speaker 3:

They don't give a fuck. Yeah, so they might get ahead faster because they're just that much more willing to fucking chop the next one down. You heard good guys finish last, right? Yeah, that's real. That's real. Now unless the game's rules require that good guys win, but the game, the way it is now, it's capitalism, bro. So you have to be ruthless if you want to get ahead.

Speaker 1:

I agree, I agree, I agree.

Speaker 2:

I don't like it, so for the rest.

Speaker 1:

Congratulations, you played yourself.

Speaker 2:

For all those weak men out there.

Speaker 1:

Because I'm conscious of what I'm going to be a selfish, but sometimes you get.

Speaker 2:

I agree, but I hate to admit it. You're right. In this world, unfortunately, man, because it's a lost place, you have to be aggressive like that, you have to be cutthroat sometimes to get ahead. You had to step on people sometimes like I'm not going to say no names, but there's individuals that we worked with in the past that we knew that a lot of people were fans of that they had to do to get to somewhere. You know what I mean and they ain't nothing personal, but I knew I had to do it in order to grow. I guess I could understand that to an extent, because it kind of ties into what we're saying here right now.

Speaker 1:

So is that a problem or no?

Speaker 2:

I feel like it can be, if you step on people, that when you step on people, regardless it's going to be an issue. That person's going to be offended, they're going to take it a certain way, no matter what you do. So you have to be able to be OK with that, right. I guess let it go. So I mean, is it OK Probably not to everybody else. Is it will be OK to the individual to answer your question? Yeah, they probably don't give a shit. They're like fuck it, I need to get ahead. Sorry, yeah, you know what I mean, but that's life right, but yeah, that's life, not every.

Speaker 2:

There is not going to be no facts and when you take a position of power, unfortunately at some point someone's going to not like you, bro, because of someone who told me to do, or that's inevitable.

Speaker 3:

But yeah, and that comes with the game, you know what I mean. Like that's built in because other players they're all, we're all in competition with each other. So that player was that spot too. You know, what I'm saying. So his, so his, his perception is OK, like now how do we get you out, or how do I get there?

Speaker 2:

And you know, you know I had him say so.

Speaker 3:

It's all. Everyone's playing it, whether they believe it or not.

Speaker 2:

Like I agree, you're actively playing it.

Speaker 3:

Even if you're not doing anything because you're, because you're avoiding something, because you're like oh, I'm thinking it's not for me, you're strategizing already how to stay out of it. It still keeps, and that's a problem too.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's a jam right there, bro. There are no teams.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there are no teams.

Speaker 3:

No, there are teams, but the thing is, at the end of the day, we're all, I guess, at the core, we're all in it for ourselves. Ok, if we had to choose right, Think about it right. Let's say this is the last fucking drink on earth right. Last drink on earth right Between us three.

Speaker 2:

Last fucking drink right, and would you want to share it?

Speaker 1:

Or would you just take it? What do you do? Mortal Kombat fight scene.

Speaker 3:

How about?

Speaker 2:

this how about this Mortal Kombat. Damn bro, I'm gone. He's just side by the shit out of me right now, bro, so you?

Speaker 1:

getting Jackie Chan. I'm just saying.

Speaker 3:

Bicycle kid. That's the last drink, bro.

Speaker 2:

He said you get a bicycle kid? No, but I'm saying look, look, look, this is the last drink on earth, right?

Speaker 3:

Last drink on earth, right, world's fucking ending. This is the last drink on earth, right, ok, world's not ending, but this is the last drink. Ok, now, right now we can say, oh, I will share it with you, oh, oh, oh, because we have some stuff to drink Abundance yeah, we have abundance, but when there's nothing left and it's just this.

Speaker 2:

So I will say I guarantee you, we're going to think differently.

Speaker 1:

So I will finish, for sure you think so.

Speaker 3:

Hell yeah, hell yeah. You're going to be a different, ryan. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

You might, or either you're going to be different or you're going to be fighting hell with this bro before I get into the example, sorry. What are you saying? You want to cut you off?

Speaker 3:

No, I was saying it's like. It's like he'll either. He'll be having a really hard time fighting the urge to fucking change. You know what I'm saying. Be like, yeah, I'm not going to give in.

Speaker 2:

No, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1:

No, you're going to feel it Mm, hmm, but until you're in that position. Yeah, like you said, you can say what you're going to say, but you never know Can one of you guys do me a favor, exactly.

Speaker 2:

I was going to Google it, but if you guys don't mind, google it, we're going to do a little bad podcast etiquette. Can one of y'all Google? There's a tradition that they do it to see and it's funny. It's basically ties into what you were saying. I didn't cut anybody off, right? No, ok, there's. There's a certain. There's a certain, I guess, a thing that sailors do at sea when they're stranded at sea. It's going to quick ties into what we were just literally talking about. They will literally eat each other. Bro, or the person that's the weakest will literally become food to keep the rest of them sustained in life.

Speaker 1:

The sailors, what is it called?

Speaker 2:

Do you know what it's called? Can you Google it Well?

Speaker 1:

I'm sorry If you want to go live.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, dead ass, that's what they do. It's a real thing, bro. But they said that they don't like saying it with hikers to. So what? Yeah, what is that? Do you know what it's called?

Speaker 1:

I'll Google it what, what, what Cannibalism? No, what.

Speaker 2:

No, what is it? It's called yeah, can it is. The act is cannibalism. Cannibalism what? But there's an actual code word that's supposed to be the sailors stay away from it. But once someone says it out loud, or I vow, or I vow myself to be blah, blah, blah the phrase, then now they have to do it. Now I know what that is.

Speaker 3:

It lay down they have fucking like soccer practice and stuff.

Speaker 2:

Yes bro, for the good of their crew.

Speaker 3:

And they get to eat them, bro. They choose someone else.

Speaker 2:

Yeah man, that's a real.

Speaker 1:

I'm a regular person. I'm a sailor.

Speaker 2:

What is it called Sailor cannibalism.

Speaker 3:

You answered that Too well bro.

Speaker 1:

We do ASMR here.

Speaker 2:

OK, yeah, here we go. I found it. Custom of the sea is a custom said to be practiced by the officers and cruise ships and boats open the open sea, as distinguished from maritime law, which is a distinct and coherent excuse me, wow which is distinct and coherent body of law governing maritime question defenses. Among these customs was a practice of cannibalism cannibalism amongst shipwreck survivors, by the dawning of lots of, decide who would be killed and eaten so the others might survive. They would draw. Yeah, so I guess what happened was that's what it was. It's what it was. So they would draw straws, bro. They would. When one captain would say this, or the sailor where we would announce it, they would have to draw straws, bro.

Speaker 3:

And we're going to eat you.

Speaker 2:

And that and they honor it, bro. So whoever loses that motherfucker is getting rushed and killed.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but that's sad Like you're done, oh well, and like you can fight, but you're going to lose, yeah because everybody agreed on it and that's that's supposed to be the law of the sea.

Speaker 2:

Isn't that sad bro?

Speaker 3:

Scary right, Get his ass I want that out of my mouth.

Speaker 2:

I did that purpose bro.

Speaker 1:

I'm not going to be mad.

Speaker 2:

And they're like I want a piece of out to my mouth. Damn it. Oh, bro, you had to go there.

Speaker 1:

I imagine, imagine the home you lose. And he just look at him. I'm enjoying eating. Yeah, what the fuck.

Speaker 2:

I'm enjoying eating that. I knew that. I knew that bicep would be juicy. That's where the most meat is. Oh yeah, listening to this shit, bro, they don't like what.

Speaker 1:

Anyway what's your?

Speaker 2:

next one, that's that I had to use that example because that right it ties in what you were saying. Oh, it really is like that sometimes, man, that's a more deliberate fucking example, but yeah, to my will to finish, oh shit, it'll get more deliberate than that.

Speaker 3:

OK. So here's one part, like when the chips fall OK, all right. What do you do when everything goes to shit? The precursor to your total demise is a previous demise that has gone unnoticed, unchecked, unregulated, unrecognized. These events are swift and grand and almost take your breath away. They usually come without warning, but when it hits you, you'll never forget it. Making it out of these scenarios can prove difficult. However, it is within these experiences that a person becomes more or less of who they are. Wow Moments like these can be used to hone necessary skills further and can add to different perspective from your point of view that can propel you to succeed sink or swim. So what do you do? Like when everything goes to shit? You know what I mean. Like Some people lose it, some people make some focus on achieving. You know everyone reacts differently.

Speaker 2:

But it's like.

Speaker 3:

I think everyone not Well, almost everybody will experience it at some point. It's not. It doesn't necessarily mean you know you're going to go broke or anything like that. But chips all means everything going to shit. You know saying where it's like you don't know what the fuck to do next.

Speaker 2:

Like you know, like your next move is like you really in a position where you're like man, I don't know how this is going to turn out Exactly Rock bottom.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, you know now, whether that's your, whether that's you getting sick or some shit, or whether that's you know bankruptcy some, you know I'm saying something you being stranded on a fucking island with a freaking, freaking volleyball, you know what do you?

Speaker 2:

do Castaway? You know, I don't know. That's a good question. What do you do in a situation like that? It's kind of fucked, you know.

Speaker 1:

I think it depends on how low you go.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, maybe, man. I mean, if you go right bottom, the only place you could either stay stagnant or or start going up. Yeah, because honestly it's one of those desperation kicks in right, survival instincts kick in right, but not everybody has those. I notice that some people lay down and cry and die or they give up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's the first sign of like a tribulation.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, man. I think that's the biggest thing. To the great you said first sign of tribulation, first time a hardship. You want to give up, you don't like being uncomfortable, or the thought of being uncomfortable is unbearable to you.

Speaker 3:

The game's not fair. You're not, yeah, yeah, you're not fair. Well, guess what motherfucker it ain't fair to?

Speaker 2:

anybody. So it ain't fair to that sailor that gets picked. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1:

Like, I'm just saying man like that over to yo that sucks oh yeah, his game is over.

Speaker 2:

Like he can't even get there by force. Ain't no reset button? Yeah, by force you lost it and they're going to follow. They're going to buy by these laws of the sea. That's sad, bro. That's a real thing, man, I'm saying that's nuts bro.

Speaker 3:

And some people got easy though, yeah, but that's yeah that's, that's because of other players that you know they just, they just put the established that for them, and then they ended up being born into it.

Speaker 2:

Those are the ones that there's no excuse for them there. Really, if you're a fuck up in life, there's no. You have no excuse, bro.

Speaker 3:

Someone laid it out for you. Yeah, but but they're insulated, you know that part. They have to really like fuck up all the resources to even to really feel a struggle, but they're just going to live like that there's just too much to look and go off of.

Speaker 1:

There was one time as somebody made fun of Trump because he was I think it was when he was running for president the first time he was like he was kind of making it seem like you know, I guess, a misfortune for him.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but he was like he was like what am I?

Speaker 1:

I don't know if his dad died or what happened. He said. He said when my dad died he only left me like eight million dollars or something like that, or he said, he said someone else like like bro, little did you know, bro, you know, you know what that could do for the hood right now. That's a lot of money, you know you know what that could do for the hood.

Speaker 2:

I'm sorry man, I don't respect that. Only eight million. You only left me like eight million. Who talks that way?

Speaker 1:

Oh, he only left a million Trump talk like that. Only that's the homie. Don't give me that. That's the homie Motherfucker.

Speaker 2:

You know people would do for eight million dollars right now. Oh my gosh man, what am I?

Speaker 1:

grateful as.

Speaker 3:

That is the worst shit.

Speaker 2:

No offense to Trump or anything, but what you said was goofy bro 100 percent.

Speaker 1:

Like I don't know what these players has made. It's kind of pretty right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know, like a hot fried Dorito left the center of law.

Speaker 1:

That's what he looks like. It's a hot Dorito, that is.

Speaker 2:

You ever seen the flame of ones, bro? Anyway, what would you got next, brother?

Speaker 3:

I know you run out of time. We got a rabbit pretty soon, actually not yet. So this is the closing, you know. So you guys have anything else on like.

Speaker 2:

No, that's it, we got through it. We got through the whole thing, oh, cool, cool, let's wrap it up. Then what you got, let me see, finally, let's see that this is the final, the final talking point.

Speaker 3:

So there's an outshow Uh, why are you here? What is your purpose? Does it even matter? Before you know it, you'll be on your deathbed and that's and that's if you're lucky. But what if there's something after? Should I even care about that? It's just place, even real. Some of these questions may seem irrelevant or trivial, but make no mistake, we've all asked ourselves at least one of these. In the ultimate experience, we are at the mercy of monsters, from the shadows to the blackest seas. We are on something's menu. So then, what do we do about the monsters? We band together and destroy them. Why? Because monsters are terrifying.

Speaker 2:

Bro, that's a good little exit right there, man, you got a nice little. Yeah, I liked that.

Speaker 1:

That was a good, that was a good closing.

Speaker 2:

It was. I like that man. That's it, because you know what it's. It's true man Like you. How are you going to fight the monster? You know what I mean. There's more than one way to do that right. So you want our final thoughts on that.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, like you can do solo or you know what I'm saying, like what's the? You know, it's up to you.

Speaker 2:

It really is. You can do a song Damn, we're right, man, Because you are if you're blessed enough to be in a death bed like I always thought that, how many, what percentage of people make it?

Speaker 2:

I think I think if I had my way about it, I would. I would. I would only only want to be on a death bed if I was like 110., if I had a choice in the matter. 110 years old, I had a full life. I got to live to see 110. Yes, 110, bro, I think of your ripe old age. You know what I'm saying. At least make it to that 110?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, Hell no.

Speaker 2:

Why not?

Speaker 3:

That's a fucking century, a century on Plus 10.

Speaker 1:

Who Right? When the fuck did y'all want to die, Bro? You, you, you, you, you. You'd have been living on a like, a like on a bed for like 40 years by that time. What? What the fuck? You think so Hell?

Speaker 3:

yeah, no.

Speaker 2:

OK, can I finish?

Speaker 1:

real quick, damn y'all, ok I met 110 in hell.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you were good health. Oh, you mean a good up-dutch man Age I want to say bro, you're trippin'. No, bro, no, you're missing. Y'all are not li-. No man Let me let me fine, Let me, let me, let me rephrase that, OK, Please please, please what I was rephrasing it what I meant to say was I would, if I had my choice in the matter.

Speaker 2:

Right, I didn't decline in health until 110, OK, OK, but leading up to it I had a healthy life. I was still walking around, Maybe needed a cane here and there, but I was still able to wipe my own ass. You know what I'm saying? Feed myself still. Wipe my own ass still. Get around, Go up the stairs what?

Speaker 1:

Oh, keep going. You see what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Like, if I could have all that, I would want that, you know what I'm saying, because then I can say I live the full life. I could look back and be happy. You know, see my kids have kids, whatever the case, you know, be a part of all that Better it in the shit. Exactly, I don't want to be bettering, I want to still be a, go out with them, watch movies, you know, play games, go out there, have adventures with my family, still being able to move and still be a part of those things, right, so having all of that and then not get too old to the point where I couldn't do it no more, at least around 110. You know what I mean?

Speaker 2:

That last year of life be 110. I mean the twilight of my life. Then I'm bed, not bedridden, but I'm on that bed that I'm probably not going to get out of no more. That's when I would want that and to go peacefully in my sleep, like my dad did you know what I'm saying Although he clocked out a lot sooner than I know he wanted to, but unfortunately he got. He got to see his death bed, but I'm sure he got to see it a lot sooner than he wanted to.

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And you know I'm going to use this example as touchy as my dad, because that man waited until everybody was gone to go. He was at that last night, bro. He waited until everybody left and was asleep before he went. Man, yeah, he fought the whole day though An evening man. It's crazy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Appreciate that bro, I didn't mean to get all deep on y'all real quick, but that's just an example. But you know what I mean To go that way but at least at a ripe older age where I got to see more things go down, that's how I would want it if I got a choice in the matter, right?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I would also go out knowing that I accomplished things in my not only my personal friends lives like. I think that's enough for me, man, if I advanced the ones I loved around me in some way and helped them grow. Obviously I want something for myself too. Obviously you know what I mean, but as long as I can advance them, no, at least hit them in the right direction. I know I made a purpose, I had a purpose. So as far as a soul, I only hope that I'm worthy enough to enter the gates. Man.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

You know what I mean. That's all you go hope for at the end of the day.

Speaker 1:

That's all you really care. What about you, brother? What are your thoughts? I always told everybody, when it came to religion, you know there's all these different religions but the thing is, only one of them could be right. So I told people you know, I guess you know, just on that day we got to find out. You know who's bluffing and who's yeah.

Speaker 2:

But, and how do you fight those monsters? Right?

Speaker 1:

My deal is like I guess maybe 60s or 70s, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

If you had to put it on right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know if I'm making this 100, but I'd say 60 or 70s. That's what the Bible promises. It says three scores and 10. A score is 20. So three times 20 plus a score, which is 10 and 70. So 70 is good enough. Because even now, like how, like you know, experiencing the game of life, seeing a lot of people, you know babies being brought into, you know newborns coming into the family, and then you know there was an instance where I lost a family member. The same week my brother had his baby. So it's like it's like man, I understand why, like who would even want to continue on living knowing that you know their loved ones is passing on me. I'm like it makes sense, like we all exit here and we gather there together, like it's just. It's just, it's just the way life is. So for me it's like it's not, it's not really something that's perceived as bad, it's just moving on.

Speaker 1:

Elevating. Yeah, higher existence, so I like that word yeah, that's true, that's what it is. Yeah, but but it's like you guys said. It's how you perceive things. You know, somebody could get in the accident and say, oh, I never want to be in the car again. And it's somebody getting the accident and say, oh, thank God, I'm still alive.

Speaker 2:

So it's just, it's just how you look at it. Yeah, hey, if I was monsters man too. Like that's how, that's all part of it, man, you fight and you live and you leave your mark, or you don't. What do you? What about you, sir?

Speaker 3:

I mean that's what I think man it's just like, does it? I mean it's your life. You only got one life. I mean I think you can. You can waste time thinking about you know what comes after not saying that that's not important, right? You can waste time thinking about things that aren't here right now, currently there, right now.

Speaker 3:

You can. You can be so engrossed in this that you don't think about anything else either. You know what I'm saying. There's, there's no, there's always a balance. You know what I mean. So, uh, I think it's, it's unique to everybody, it's it's, it's a once in a life. No, no pun intended, it's a once in a lifetime thing. You know this is you're never going to experience this shit again.

Speaker 2:

Again.

Speaker 3:

Like we're here. It's actually a miracle that we're actually even here being able to fucking experience your shit. Talk about it. Right now I mean share thoughts about this shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

We got. You know what I'm saying. We got as much as we take this shit for fucking granted, bro. This is our only fucking life, bro.

Speaker 1:

Only shot Once.

Speaker 3:

this is done where the fuck we go. That's it, we're fucking gone bro.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's crazy, that's history. Another, another, when the books yeah.

Speaker 3:

There's not going to be another you, another you, another me, that's it, that's it.

Speaker 2:

One shot, one shot done.

Speaker 3:

And the reason why I say it's a game. This is the one game. There's no response, bro, You're done, you're out.

Speaker 1:

Right, you're out. There's no GTA, huh.

Speaker 3:

It's like you got to. So that's why, that's why I try to be adamant about you know, like leaving a mark because like once you're gone, like yeah sure, cool, like your game's over, no one's really gonna gonna care. But it's like imagine that you're able to actually influence the game in a good way by leaving a mark. That's fucking dope to me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

You know what I? Mean yeah, I agree People are like oh shit, man, like that will play, the well I want to play like him, or he inspired me to play like this.

Speaker 2:

That's damn, bro, that's good, amen. You know, we all had something good to put on that man. That was yeah, man, that's true, though, you're right, and that boils down to what we just said. Man, like that's, that's how you got to play this game, man, it is, you know, like that, I would say let's do last tidbits, but I think that those are pretty good last tidbits I've asked me right. I mean, they pretty much sums it up, man. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3:

It is what it is. You know if, whether you accept it or not, whether you accept it or not that this is, that this is a game, like you are in competition.

Speaker 1:

This is your life, yeah.

Speaker 3:

You're playing in a system built on rules that you have to follow, or I mean you can bend a record, but you're still going to fight it. You know that consequence. You know you're dealing with these other people, these people and visuals players, whatever you want to call them but you're all. We're all here on those earth with finite resources and we're trying to get ahead. You know what I mean. So there's going to be a little, there's going to be competition.

Speaker 3:

The reason why it's the way it is now is because no one has to hunt anymore, no one has to do these things themselves anymore. You know now there's companies to do this shit. You know there's there's. Just there's different, it's a different playing field. Now, you know, but before, when it was literally life and death, it was played differently, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

My tip is just you know, don't let no one get in your way Like, this is life or death. You know as as as cliche as it sounds, we're only saying that because we're well fed. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

That's the reason why it's a cliche.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yep, that's good bro, I agree. What about you, sajo?

Speaker 1:

I like that. It was good talking to you, it was, it was. I would like to say, man, if, if I couldn't do what, if I couldn't do what basically we were talking about? As far as like leaving, at least leaving like a legacy, or leaving, you know, something for them to put in the history books, I would at least, you know, and forgive me for bringing up pops, but I would at least like to do an approach like his dad did.

Speaker 1:

Like you know, he mentioned his dad, you know leaving sooner than expected, but if you were around just to see how much you know people, he touched right, yeah, man.

Speaker 3:

Or you know the impact he left on people's lives not necessarily have this business to show where I have this mansion or you know, but you know, like that, that's just as that's just as rich as you know having on as yeah.

Speaker 1:

How much people were saying you know he touched them, or you know how much people he even touched. Not even being here anymore, it's like I'm like man, like he, he made it. Yeah, that's exactly that's history books right there.

Speaker 2:

Hey man bro, I like that, I appreciate that and that's always going to be there. I appreciate that, man, yeah.

Speaker 3:

And it's not. You know, the whole leaving marketing is not to discredit anyone who hasn't left a necessary mark. You know different ways that you can leave that.

Speaker 2:

Oh, there's a lot of different ways, no of course, even though tonight they may not, they may not, they may not be known Kobe or MLK by the masses. Exactly. Even though they may not be known by the masses, you know they still. You still left a mark in people's lives. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Impression influence ideas.

Speaker 1:

That's really hard to do.

Speaker 3:

I think it's really hard to do I agree.

Speaker 1:

I agree, 100% agree with that you have to be good with people.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, big facts, exactly.

Speaker 1:

You have to have that good rapport. It's how they remember you.

Speaker 2:

How's your legacy? Like you said earlier, you know how your legacy going to be.

Speaker 1:

It got to be who you are. Yeah, big facts For character. For your character, exactly.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, you're right, exactly, it was in him to be that way, Like when his funeral happened, bro, we were we're not we're not. We're not saying we didn't expect people to come, but a lot of packed bro packed out.

Speaker 1:

He touched a lot of lives bro.

Speaker 2:

Yeah man More than we man. We're like man. We knew we had an impact but we didn't know man and, like I said, packed church man, the whole lower level.

Speaker 1:

It makes you think like it makes you think. If God forbid, you know you were to go today with that much people show up for you.

Speaker 2:

Damn.

Speaker 3:

that's a good question, See that's true, but at the end of the day, you're not here, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2:

That's true, but then just to just to show how much of an impact you make you know what I mean and obviously, and tell and talk with those that are still around to see that love. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3:

But then, even if you don't see it, even if you're not present for it, in the spirit you know of, course, but let's say, if that does in some way like, like concern you, not meaning that you're worried about it, but just means that you've thought about it right, it's okay, Like you know, like that would be dope. What do you do to garner that you know?

Speaker 2:

what I'm saying. How do you?

Speaker 3:

treat the other people that you meet. You know what I'm saying Because it's all. It's not like fully in your control, but you do influence your outcome. Yeah, no fact, you influence that shit.

Speaker 2:

You really do. I like that. No, you're right, you do. You do influence your outcome. Yeah, in some way, you're doing some way. But, man, I felt as if I hate to rap in here, man.

Speaker 3:

but it was. It was a good episode. I told you it was going to be long.

Speaker 2:

She did, he did. Man, it was a good one. We all got our thoughts out there, right. We got it out in there on paper and you know, man, we can maybe revisit this in the future with some other perspectives with us or a guest or something.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we go ahead there. You know what I mean, because we can keep going. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1:

So I'm going to have to rap in here, man, I'm going to have to go on the scene.

Speaker 2:

I mean, you could throw it in there real quick if you want to.

Speaker 1:

I think I would just say just my last thing. I would say, I think, at least in me I can't say as far as in everybody, but you know, I think the thing that we're here to do, I would say, as believers, is like, just, I guess, to touch as much people as we can and bring them closer to God or whatever. So I think that's where at least for me, that's where that stems from the people could come like they did at you know pops, its funeral and say, you know, he touched, he brought me closer to God. So it's like you know God, like he did what he was supposed to do. Yeah, so not really more focusing on, like you know, making a, making, a legacy, Like you know, like we spoke about, like you know, oh, he scored this many points or whatever, but like more of like a religious approach like, hey, God, like he, he did, he did what you asked him, kind of.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean that's, but that's just me, though, I know.

Speaker 2:

I know.

Speaker 1:

I feel like everybody got that, though. No, I agree, everybody has that.

Speaker 2:

I appreciate you putting that out there though, bro.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, cause it's attacking what it is Cause that you felt there. Heck yeah that you felt there. Oh yeah, that's why I said that you did feel. It no, I appreciate that.

Speaker 2:

That's true, that's real.

Speaker 1:

That's exactly what it was. It was heavy.

Speaker 2:

It was like man and being, and being, uh, interlined with that, with that spirit and just knowing and being able to feel it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you felt the love. That's what it was.

Speaker 2:

You felt the love of the energy. You felt the energy and you felt the love. That's what I was trying to say being there to feel the energy and and and, like you said, the the spirit man. It was definitely in that building, bro, but you guys know where to find us. Man, this is that time. Um, you don't say great episode, as always.

Speaker 2:

Uh, thank you guys for all your support every single week, in and out. You know, thank you guys for all of our, our Spotify, our Apple podcasts, our every podcast audio streaming network out there. It's been slowly growing. Spotify is like the most popular one, with Apple trailing it now not by much, but they're they're. They're definitely in the race and it's definitely a lot of a back and forth of Spotify and Apple podcast. That's cool. I love the sport. We have more audio listeners than we do.
