Bite the cherry

WEBVTT
1
00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:02.560
Life makes no sense.
2
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:07.440
Not a planet right now, You're on a space rock,
3
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:13.039
floating in nothingness, infinite nothingness, and the infinite nothingness is expanded.
4
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.440
That means endlessness is getting bigger.
5
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:19.359
That makes no sense.
6
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:26.000
What's happening everybody? Welcome back to JG's lounge. I'm your
7
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:32.399
host Evolution. I'm just kidding. I your host jukebox with me.
8
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.439
We've got the co host of consistently and consistent evolution.
9
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:36.119
And how you doing?
10
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:38.359
Actually doing great?
11
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:38.560
Man?
12
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.280
Thanks have been hitting the right direction here lately, and
13
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.200
I had a great surprise prior to uh logging on here,
14
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.679
So I'm happy man. Everything is uh is great right
15
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.719
now getting better. So uh, I'm I'm ready to go.
16
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:56.399
Let me me too.
17
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.560
You like you said a lot of good things lately.
18
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.759
As a great way to explain it, you know, Journey
19
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.719
to is just around the corner before launch. Obviously final
20
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.879
editing touches, but we got all the content that's exciting.
21
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:15.840
We're kind of bringing things back to more of a
22
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.280
steady flow because there's been a few months of gaps
23
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.000
and at the end of the day, we still enjoy
24
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.760
doing it and we don't want to We don't want
25
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.480
to stop. If anything, we want to get back to
26
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.799
what we used to be doing. So for one, we're
27
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:33.760
back to stream Yard. We're giving that a shot. Evolution man,
28
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:34.640
even like, hey.
29
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:35.799
Can we get back to stream yard?
30
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:36.040
Man?
31
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.640
We it was just rolling so smooth, and you're not wrong.
32
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.959
Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely happy to be back with the
33
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.200
stream Yard set up.
34
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.959
It was definitely something I was comfortable with.
35
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:54.879
And I was cranking out mad content when we were
36
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.359
rolling with stream Yards, so I think we all were.
37
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:58.200
Uh.
38
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.040
So it's really good to read, is it, h what
39
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:03.319
was really working for us?
40
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:03.680
Uh?
41
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:04.719
In one aspect?
42
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.000
I know what we've been doing here lately, because we've
43
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.240
been we found other ways that we're that were working
44
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.400
great for us from other aspects. So it's just a
45
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.479
matter of putting it all together and uh making it work,
46
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.479
you know, all around this, all around the board.
47
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.439
I think that that's that's huge, finding way to make
48
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.199
it work. You know. I reached out to one of our.
49
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.319
Admin's, Sean Shank. I haven't talked to him a while.
50
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.280
You know, I mean we touch base, but not like
51
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.319
you know, he's he's busy. We're busy, I get it,
52
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.240
but he's wanted to.
53
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.319
Do it again too, and it's.
54
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.599
Just a matter of getting the band back on the wagon.
55
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.240
That's a good phrase for tonight show.
56
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.520
And you know, also with that, we got a lot
57
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.039
of conflicting schedules as well, so oh.
58
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:49.919
Yeah, things have changed.
59
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:51.680
Yeah yeah, that had.
60
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.240
A lot to do it it is, you know also,
61
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.719
so I mean, you know, it's just growing pains that
62
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:56.759
we're experiencing.
63
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.319
But I think I got it though, I got say
64
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.319
and thank you for whoever's tuning in right now. One
65
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.479
huge thing about JG's Lounge that has grown over the
66
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.319
last few months is we're averaging between three or four
67
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:17.240
million viewers on our social media platforms. That is stupid.
68
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:20.919
I love it. It's great. Not what I expected, but
69
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.520
we kind of talked about it, and I just want
70
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.360
to acknowledge you guys and give you guys thanks, because
71
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.240
that's not why we do it. But to see that
72
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.520
kind of result just means that we're doing it right.
73
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:33.840
Absolutely.
74
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.960
I think that's the best way to kind of word that.
75
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:37.080
Absolutely.
76
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.120
Evolution. Man, Let's get this ball rolling with consistently, because
77
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.719
those of you who know us in the show, we
78
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.560
each present three life proverbs, present our kind of perception
79
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:49.000
of them.
80
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:49.879
And go from there.
81
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.599
Feel free to tune in the comments we'll bring into
82
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.719
the conversation, but evolution, go ahead and hit it off.
83
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:56.000
Man.
84
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.240
Absolutely, My first one I have for the evening is
85
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:05.800
a bite at the cherry. So basically, it's a second
86
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.400
chance to do something, especially something that you failed at
87
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.560
the first time. So the way I look at that
88
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:23.319
is pretty much how it stated. You know, there are
89
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:28.120
oftentimes that we do things that did their success I guess,
90
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.480
or they go well the first time, but usually we
91
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.279
get stumped when something doesn't work the first time, and
92
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.319
it kind of maybe throws you off your access and
93
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.639
make sure I want to go that route again or
94
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.120
toy with until you can find a way it works.
95
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.240
To me, that's when genius is born, when you fail
96
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.000
at something and then you get back in there and
97
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:53.879
dig deep.
98
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.279
And try to find a way to.
99
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.959
Either go a better route or or the right route,
100
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.279
or find a way to make it work because you
101
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.439
know something doesn't work the first time. It doesn't mean
102
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.240
throwing a towel, right, I mean, it could be catastrophic
103
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:11.720
and then you might need to throw on a towel.
104
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:17.000
But usually when we have things that fail, in my opinion,
105
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.639
They're worth going through the crap to find out what
106
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.800
happens on the other side if you keep it, because
107
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.360
like I said that to me, that's where genius is born.
108
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.639
What do you got When I think about it the cherry.
109
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.319
First off, I'm not a fan of cherries. But whoever,
110
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:37.560
whoever created the chocolate cherry ice cream, you figure it
111
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.399
out a way to make it work. But for me,
112
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.959
I think of about it the cherry as sort of
113
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:49.319
strength within the kinks, you know, like especially for what
114
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.439
we do with the networking and the podcast especially their
115
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.439
live stream shows half the time eight time, and we
116
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.839
have those buffers, We have those bits where you're out,
117
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.560
you buffer out or I buffer out, usually it's me,
118
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.519
but we we almost like roll with it anymore, like
119
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.759
we've we've learned to just sort of adapt. And when
120
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.000
I think abute at the cherry, I think the more
121
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.720
that we do this and the more that we advance,
122
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:22.199
we continue to take bigger bites. We look for where
123
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.759
we can grow more. And I think that the only
124
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.079
way to do that is to, you know, do those
125
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.360
things that you're not comfortable doing, or reaching in those
126
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.360
places where you didn't expect to reach in uh, to
127
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.480
get that next level. And that's I mean, that's kind
128
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.360
of what I get from it.
129
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.240
Yeah, I mean, I'm glad you mentioned doing things that
130
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.680
either you don't like doing or they are uncomfortable or
131
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:49.319
challenge you.
132
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.839
That's that's when we know we're getting better. You know
133
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:53.240
what I mean.
134
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:58.399
When we find those areas where we're not comfortable and
135
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.279
maybe something we don't want to do or don't like
136
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.759
to do or it's difficult to do. Uh, when we
137
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.160
find a way to adapt to those type of things,
138
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.000
that's what we're getting better and we're making ourselves more
139
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:17.519
well rounded. Uh. I've been experiencing that in certain areas
140
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:24.000
of life recently, and uh, I've accepted it and embraced it.
141
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.519
And what it's doing for me. I can't even put
142
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:28.000
it to words.
143
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.879
I can't even put money on it, but it's definitely
144
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:37.360
uh making me better I guess as an individual, and
145
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:42.399
makes it making me more flexible and adaptable to change.
146
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:43.240
Uh.
147
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.720
And it's not not bad change, it's all it's all
148
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.439
better change. It changed so uh.
149
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.000
Well, coming from your like musical background, right, and then
150
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.680
you you know, get interested in the podcasting it is.
151
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.800
It is very different to day than what it was
152
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.920
when you know you were in the I wouldn't say
153
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:06.920
you were out, never out of the music industry, but
154
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.639
like when you first kind of you know, were blowing
155
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.959
up in this music scene. I think there's a lot
156
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.160
of different aspects to today.
157
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:16.839
In what we're doing.
158
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.240
Oh yeah, would you would you say that there's certain
159
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.279
things that you've had to kind of learn or relearn
160
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:25.199
or adapt to.
161
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.759
I think adapt is a better word for me in
162
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.279
this case, because usually when I would hit the stage,
163
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:44.039
everything was practiced and programmed and it was already set
164
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:48.440
up to, you know, do the show. It was something
165
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.639
that was well organized and put together and we just
166
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:57.639
had to do it right. Podcasting is way different because
167
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.720
normally I'm actually an introvert. I'm very quiet. I'll just
168
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.120
sit back and pay attaching this stuff.
169
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:03.879
I know this.
170
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.000
And watch the Podcasting definitely makes you.
171
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.960
More vocal and uh, it's it's spontaneous completely, you know.
172
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:19.399
I guess I can compare to freestyling, which is very spontaneous.
173
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.639
So but it's it's it's different. It's not with music
174
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:28.279
or with some type of rhyme scheme. It's it's more uh, intelle,
175
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.440
you know what I'm saying it's more conversation based, so
176
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.200
there is an aspect that I can transfer over to
177
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:40.080
this that that helps in that area. So uh yeah,
178
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.279
but very different, Like.
179
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.519
You said, yeah, the freestyling aspect is definitely there.
180
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:45.120
I see that.
181
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:46.919
I think.
182
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.200
I think for maybe the musical.
183
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.480
Like lyrics, like when you're when you're writing your songs,
184
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.600
obviously there's more time and effort invested into them. Not
185
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:02.039
that there isn't effort in the live aspect other than
186
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.720
being able to kind of roll with the punches as
187
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:11.120
they come or biting those cherries because they're going to happen,
188
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.320
and it's not like hey, just let's let's rerun that.
189
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:16.279
We can't do that.
190
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:22.240
No, yes, but I love it. I love that right
191
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.919
now there's people tuning in and they can throw a
192
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.320
comment in there and be like, hey, how's it going,
193
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:28.240
Thanks for your comment.
194
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:29.559
Here's how I feel about it.
195
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.799
But I want to continue the lives like I love
196
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.360
the feeling of those live interactions and the raw I
197
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.759
think the raw content that we get out of it
198
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.200
is much more appealing to me than the scripted or
199
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:49.879
edited content. True, true, all right, So for my first one,
200
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.399
I have let's see here I got to pull back up.
201
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.960
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.
202
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.039
This is a is a twist on a Benjamin Franklin
203
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.679
quote about don't put off and tell themorrow what you
204
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:12.279
can do today. I actually like this version and the
205
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.360
aspect of I think people stress over things that aren't
206
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.279
necessary at times, like I think there's necessary stress and
207
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.919
unnecessary stress, right, and I think that we somehow intertwine
208
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.799
them and then it almost feels necessary even though it
209
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:27.440
doesn't need to be.
210
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.399
You know, so.
211
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.320
Sometimes it's not a matter of putting it off. Maybe
212
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.639
it's just not necessary to do at all. You know,
213
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.639
Do I need to have thirteen podcasts or should I
214
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.919
just dial in on three? You know, I can blend
215
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.600
four into one instead of having thirteen other ones to
216
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:45.399
you manage.
217
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.799
Okay, let me let me jump in here, because you
218
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:53.360
definitely undershot that. Ladies and gentlemen, Jubus has like two
219
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:59.879
hundred and fifty million podcast shows and he only exercises
220
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:04.600
one and thirty three. That's right, those accurate.
221
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.799
You want to talk about, Oh my god, talk about
222
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:12.639
There's one important thing about this is not to overwhelm yourself,
223
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.360
because it does affect you and the content, and I've
224
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.559
been there like you as long as you've known me.
225
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:20.720
Is it's like I come up with these new ideas
226
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.639
and they're they're good ideas, but I feel like some
227
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.600
of them can absorb into each other, you know, Like
228
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:30.200
I can redesign or restructure certain shows that have been
229
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:35.360
around and that have created JG's Lounge, like Stardup and
230
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.840
Consistently and Consistent and some of the other ones that
231
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.440
I've done. But I think that there's ways to blend
232
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.039
those together rather than having them as twelve individual things.
233
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.960
Yeah, I agree, I agree.
234
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.559
But that's kind of what I'm saying, is like as
235
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.720
far as oh, well, you know, just I'm not I'm
236
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.480
not gonna wory about until tomorrow. I'm not gonna don't
237
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.399
worry about it. Just just make it work with what
238
00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.480
you already got, you know. And that's how I think
239
00:12:59.480 --> 00:12:59.759
of it.
240
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:05.080
I don't put off until tomorrow, but you can put
241
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:10.559
off forever. For me, that's tough because I always like
242
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.000
to finish things, and I always like to pursue things
243
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.639
till they're done. But I do recognize that there are
244
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.720
some things that just aren't worth it. You just got
245
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.320
to let them go, you know what I mean. For instance,
246
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.720
I'm dealing with some things with my oldest.
247
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.320
Child, and.
248
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.279
You know, I've made the decision to just let it
249
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.759
go right because otherwise, how will he learn, you know
250
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:39.960
what I'm saying, how will he.
251
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:43.200
Change?
252
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.320
The chasing of the tail so to speak, and really
253
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.840
hiding these situations over and over and over again. You know,
254
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.480
us as parents come into the rescue of our children. Yes,
255
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.480
it's necessary, depending on what it is. And I'll also
256
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.000
say depending on how often it happens, you know what
257
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.159
I'm saying. But we got to be like birds, you know,
258
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:08.480
saying we got to throw them off the cliff and
259
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:12.919
let him fly right sometimes. Yeah, yeah, So I mean
260
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:19.320
that's what it is, man. So you know, I can
261
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:22.879
wait and see what happens. You know, I can intervene now,
262
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.440
or I can intervene later or just.
263
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:27.240
Not at all, you know.
264
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.399
And what the age that my oldest son is right now,
265
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:36.519
I'm like, you know what you gotta learn? You just
266
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:42.519
gotta learn, man. So it's tough parenting right now, even
267
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:46.039
though you know, my child might get mad at me,
268
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.799
but they'll get over it and they'll realize later that hey,
269
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.080
you know what if it wasn't for you doing.
270
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:55.720
This in this moment, I would never have learned. And so.
271
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:00.960
I guess that's my story from this. I like it,
272
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.440
but normally, yeah, I would like to pursue things until
273
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:06.320
they're done and try to find a way.
274
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.360
To make it work.
275
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:10.559
And I even have songs since you brought it up
276
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:14.360
in the first.
277
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:14.559
I do want to give a shout out to Brett
278
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:16.879
Zeller and John Peterson for tuning in.
279
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:17.799
So thank you guys.
280
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.759
What's up John, How you doing man? Thank you for
281
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:26.480
joining us. So basically in the music, you know, there
282
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.480
are songs that I can write like that, you know,
283
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.960
I started and in ten minutes is done, you know
284
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.759
what I mean. I've even had albums that I've written
285
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.000
that I started like at twelve o'clock noon, At about
286
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:39.919
three pm, I was done with the whole project.
287
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:40.200
You know.
288
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.200
It just depends on how things flow. And then there
289
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.399
are also songs that literally took me years to write
290
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:51.200
one verse, you know, depending on how difficult and complex
291
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:57.159
that that scenario was. And I use this often when
292
00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:59.600
I explained this to people. Sometimes you have to go
293
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.720
through sir things before you can finish, you know what
294
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.200
I mean? Uh, and that's kind of what it was
295
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:08.080
because as soon as I experienced this one scenario in life,
296
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:10.399
I finished a song like that, I wrote the verse
297
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.919
like that, you know, and it was done. So we
298
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.320
can try to force things and force things, but if
299
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.960
it's not meant to happen at that time, either you
300
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.519
come back to it or you let it go.
301
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:27.320
Right, they coming back to it, man, That's that's the
302
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.480
tough part. Like, I think there are times where you
303
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:33.799
have to let it go. And what we do, like
304
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:39.039
there's we've talked about, especially with Journey too, you know,
305
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:44.120
the redoing the intros, and it's like like sometimes like
306
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.399
if that was the case, like you were at a
307
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:47.200
point where you're like.
308
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:49.240
I don't even know if I want to retry them
309
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:50.879
because it was just that good.
310
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.559
Yeah, yeah, you know, I think that that's a good example. Right,
311
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:58.320
So like that's a that's a great example. Like you
312
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.600
sometimes you just can't redo something that's that was so
313
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.079
well structured.
314
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:08.559
Right and right, And I'm very grateful that, uh, those
315
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:10.960
represented themselves.
316
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:13.440
I had no idea what I was going to do,
317
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:15.839
that's but.
318
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:19.599
That's that's what I get from that, right, Those things
319
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:23.400
that are that are they're imperative as they are or
320
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:28.000
they aren't at all, like they're that good. Yeah, and
321
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.680
sometimes whether it's the music that you put on, you know,
322
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:33.400
it takes you a year to come up with because
323
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.839
but it has to be just right, you know, when
324
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.799
things just flow and they flow so well and you're
325
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:40.880
you're happy with how.
326
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.759
It turned out.
327
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.440
Reproducing it sometimes.
328
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:44.480
Just is not.
329
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:47.920
You can't do it because you are you either already
330
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:49.359
know like you're thinking.
331
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.000
What wait, what was it? Or or what did I
332
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.160
say last time? Or or how did I do this?
333
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:54.480
So that's in the back.
334
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:56.160
Of your mind the whole time you're doing it.
335
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.480
And I've had to reach out to guests before, like dude,
336
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:05.119
I never hit go Live. That whole hour of us
337
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:11.200
talking was just my goodness is gone. You want to
338
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:15.039
I get it. It's all good man.
339
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:17.440
Yeah.
340
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.559
That that's a toughy right there. I also want to
341
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.680
adswer that, man, because, uh, you know, there's been certain
342
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:26.319
songs that I recorded.
343
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:31.640
No John, I cannot sing it well. Uh, Evolution can
344
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:32.160
sing yes.
345
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.480
Uh you know I don't. I don't put it out
346
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.160
there like that, you know. I do my vocals on
347
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.400
my tracks and the hooks and all that other stuff,
348
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:47.039
but anything beyond that is behind closed doors. And if
349
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.400
I care to reveal it one day, I will, but
350
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:52.039
until then it's a sealed log.
351
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:58.960
Bull that's too funny.
352
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:01.400
But yeah, I was going want to say that some
353
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.920
songs that I recorded the original version and then did
354
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:08.799
a remix, and the remix came out so good that
355
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.680
I made the remix the original version in the original
356
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.960
version of remix. Uh so a little a little behind
357
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.359
the scenes info for those who are listening.
358
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.559
I have heard your music, and I gotta say, John,
359
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:24.359
he can he can see.
360
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:26.960
Well, thank you. I appreciate it.
361
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:28.039
I'm gonna brush it.
362
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.000
I'm gonna brush you shoulder off real quick. Let's do that,
363
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:33.880
all right.
364
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.960
So for my next one, I've got.
365
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.599
Wait wait wait wait wait wait you wouldn't you wouldn't last.
366
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:41.200
It's my time.
367
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.680
Oh did we just finish mine?
368
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.359
Dann We just finished you know what?
369
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:47.279
Go ahead?
370
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:47.799
All right?
371
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:49.319
So having a good time, dang it?
372
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:53.039
Yeah, that's all right, we can do. So my next
373
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:59.960
one here is uh, let's sleeping dogs lie? Uh yes, man,
374
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:07.960
And basically you know that's basically like two avoid something
375
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:13.880
or leave something alone, because if you stir it up again,
376
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.400
you might get yourself into a situation to where you
377
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:20.960
can't get out of or make it a lot lot
378
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:24.640
worse than what it is already.
379
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:26.680
To me, do you have an example?
380
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:29.559
Which one do I choose?
381
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:34.599
I I want to hear you're an example.
382
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:40.079
My example is going to be kind of hard nos.
383
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:43.200
And pinpoint to where everybody can relate. I'm going to
384
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:49.000
say certain conversations with certain people and what yes, uh huh.
385
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:52.200
And what I mean by that is there's someone you
386
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.799
can talk to. You can talk to them about anything.
387
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.640
You can joke around, you can be serious, you can
388
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.279
just say little things that you know, they can neck
389
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.400
with you and that other person and everything's great. And
390
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.480
then there are other people or certain types of people
391
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.039
that you have to be very very very cautious of
392
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:15.400
how you were things because you can say candy and
393
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:17.400
they'll take it a whole another direction.
394
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:20.920
Right, So you just my name was Dylan.
395
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:26.039
Going to.
396
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:34.000
Yeah, man, So I would say certain conversations with certain
397
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:40.759
people either have to be avoided or just not revisited.
398
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:42.839
I mean, I can, I guess I can bring this
399
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.960
conversation up. I had a conversation with a person at
400
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.279
one point in time which I was just trying to
401
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.240
resolve or stress the point that I was trying to
402
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:58.079
make with this conversation, and it was literally like talking
403
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.599
to a wall because this person refuse to ben They
404
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:08.680
just they stuck in their thought process and refuse to budge,
405
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:12.119
and it was just their way of viewing things, and
406
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:13.640
that's all they were going to the only way they
407
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:13.960
were going.
408
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:14.359
To see it.
409
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:16.960
And I'm like, that's absolutely ridiculous. But you know what,
410
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.039
let's just agree to disagree and walk away from it,
411
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.200
you know what I mean. And uh, I never had
412
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:24.240
a conversation with that person again after that. I just,
413
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.279
you know, it was just so ridiculous to where I'm like,
414
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:29.920
you know what, the last conversation that I tried to
415
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:35.039
resolve with you was so absolutely absurd that I am
416
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.200
never going to have a conversation with you again. I'll say, hi,
417
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.079
you know, I'll interact with you when it comes to
418
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.160
the point that we most have, you know, we must
419
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.480
have to interact. But other than that, I got nothing
420
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:47.920
to say to you.
421
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.240
This is good, this is good. Okay. So I think
422
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.799
of this from a couple of aspects, one being that
423
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.839
like I've definitely for me, I'm not a very I'm
424
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:04.519
a very mellow person, right, I would say that you're
425
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:06.079
soft spoken.
426
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:07.839
But you're you're you.
427
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.000
You view things and you you see things from a
428
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:12.960
different angle than I do.
429
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:15.720
I'm more of just like a whatever.
430
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:19.920
But when things when things get to a point where
431
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.880
I'm like almost let's say, boiling point, right, a frustration
432
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:29.440
with an individual, I have to step away or else
433
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:32.440
it's like digging. You might as well hand me the
434
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:36.720
shovel and also keep digging, because I, I get it
435
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:39.799
builds up and and I if I especially if I
436
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:45.279
know I'm right and the person's just being absurd, I
437
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.400
will I will keep digging. And sometimes it's me digging
438
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:54.200
my own grave, right, And that's because I just John
439
00:23:54.240 --> 00:24:00.160
said it's called wisdom. Hey, that's that's great, John, That's that.
440
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:00.960
I agree.
441
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:05.000
Actually, that's that's a good word. That's one angle right
442
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:10.160
for another aspect me. You know, over the last few months,
443
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:14.240
you know, half a year ago, something happened and I
444
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:17.720
was trying to think of anyway to spind it, to
445
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:22.799
get back to what it was or defend myself. And
446
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:25.359
I even talked to you about it, and I was like,
447
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:27.160
at the end of the day, I ended up just
448
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:31.720
letting it lie and rolling with the punch in a sense,
449
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:37.759
because I didn't want to dig a deeper hole. And
450
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:40.759
that's that's definitely what while you were given your example,
451
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:43.839
that's where I was thinking, or like immediately was like, man,
452
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:45.640
that's a prime example.
453
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:46.359
And I think.
454
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:51.160
It benefited me in the long run because I'm in
455
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:53.920
a spot now where it's like I've shown myself.
456
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:58.039
I believe I've shown myself at my.
457
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:01.759
Strengths and and it was there in the beginning, but
458
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:03.480
certain people never saw it.
459
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.119
You know, does that make sense?
460
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.240
So instead of kind of trying to slap them in
461
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:14.079
the face and dig myself deeper, I just kind of
462
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:19.000
accepted it and then showed what I was already doing
463
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:20.160
at its full potential.
464
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:26.480
Sometimes the best way to speak is without words, man, actions,
465
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:27.119
you know what I'm saying.
466
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:30.680
You know how we do these episodes and they all
467
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:35.640
kind of roll together, like you just said, it rolls.
468
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:38.799
Right into mind. Next one. But well, what else you got?
469
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:39.519
What else you got?
470
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:48.720
All right? My next one says a closed mouth gathers
471
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:58.279
no feet, All right, Well, you know you've heard the
472
00:25:58.839 --> 00:25:59.720
term of putting.
473
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:02.039
Your foot in your mouth and stuff like that.
474
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:05.759
Dude, I don't know why, Like we never we never
475
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:08.960
even plan these things, we don't, but that always ended
476
00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:13.160
up working out. But it's like the idea of putting
477
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.000
your foot in your mouth is disgusting, right, So it's
478
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:17.279
like why do it? You know?
479
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:21.079
You know babies do it and they they always do that.
480
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:28.680
What it's to deal with a hands feeding mouth disease? Yeah,
481
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.480
I will never understand why babies do that. They just
482
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.119
always put their hands and grab.
483
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:36.680
And shove their mouth.
484
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.160
But that's the thing, is like, if if you're smart
485
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:47.920
enough and you know when to accept that, it's just
486
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.839
easier not to open your mouth, it's better, right, So
487
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:54.519
so the idea of sticking, you know, a closed mouth
488
00:26:54.559 --> 00:27:01.640
gathers no feet. Sometimes the silence avoids the embarrassment. True,
489
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:06.000
and there is growth within yourself from acknowledging those moments
490
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:08.960
because I think a lot of people, don't you know,
491
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:12.079
they just want to yep yep, yep, yep, yep, right
492
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.039
right right on right, and no matter what you say,
493
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:20.039
that's their view and it is what you know, that
494
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:23.319
is what it is. And to acknowledge that you're not
495
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:26.359
getting anywhere with that and to be able to step
496
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:32.640
away is a huge strength within yourself. So sometimes keeping
497
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.200
your mouth shut is is more.
498
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:37.400
Beneficial, absolutely, man.
499
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:39.880
And I'm thinking about if you don't have anything good
500
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:43.640
to say, don't say anything at all, which I have
501
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:48.039
almost mastered. And I say it almost mastered, because there's
502
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:50.240
times I have to bite my tongue like this and
503
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:55.079
walk away depending on what the situation is. Uh, but
504
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:58.119
I've almost mastered that. I'm very happy because I've come
505
00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:03.119
a long way to get to this point. I can't
506
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.440
say that for the opposite sex. And I'm going to
507
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:11.079
get some flag for this one. Uh but I don't
508
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:16.079
know why. But there are people out there, usually women
509
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:19.680
in my case, I'm not speaking for everybody who typically
510
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:21.720
want to get the last word in every time.
511
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:24.640
And to me, not.
512
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:31.119
Only is that disrespectful or or lacks respect, it's just
513
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:38.319
not being open minded or uh, realizing that two.
514
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.720
People are having a conversation and not just one. You
515
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:41.279
know what I'm saying.
516
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:49.039
So and a lot of times those individuals put their
517
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.319
foot in their mouth because they have to come back
518
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.559
later and apologize for you there's something they said, or
519
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.960
getting too emotionally involved in what they were saying and
520
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:06.160
making things to a whole another altitude. But me, on
521
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:11.480
the other hand, I used to be mouthy when I
522
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.519
was in my teens and stuff like that. But over
523
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.799
the years I matured and I realized when I was
524
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:21.640
running in my mouth, I was not listening, so I
525
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.799
would miss a lot of key things and points if
526
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:26.000
I was talking while somebody else was stuck. And so
527
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.720
now I just zoom in and focus and just listen
528
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:31.640
to everything they got to say, and once they get.
529
00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:34.279
Done, then I process it and then I'll respond later.
530
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:37.680
You know, a lot of people think they might think
531
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:39.839
I'm not listening, or they might think I'm not getting
532
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:41.759
what they're saying, or they want me to input at
533
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:42.160
that time.
534
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.559
But that's that's I'm recording, you know what I'm saying.
535
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:49.640
I'm recording everything they're saying, and then I pack myself
536
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:53.240
when I'm buying myself, you know, with no distractions, and
537
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.160
then I'll get the best out of it and then
538
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:58.160
scrap the rest and then come back to them later
539
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:01.240
and say, hey, you know, I got it both, you know.
540
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:08.880
Right, You know, I think in the mouth aspect of it,
541
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:12.400
it's it's it is crucial at that times, like especially
542
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:14.480
from your aspect, like you said that you know, sometimes
543
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:16.759
you have to revisit it or think about it, you
544
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:20.200
discuss it, and sometimes you create a more valid point
545
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:20.799
by doing that.
546
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:21.640
Yeah.
547
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:26.400
Absolutely, and and I'm sorry I mean to cut you off.
548
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:29.799
But constructive criticism, especially if this is one of those
549
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.640
conversations when when at least when I do it like that,
550
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.680
it takes the defense mechanism out of it, you know
551
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:40.319
what I'm saying, Because sometimes you get defensive when people
552
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:44.519
are critics critiquing you. They won't they're trying to do
553
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:47.000
it to get a positive result most of the time.
554
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.519
But a lot of people get defensive when they're being critiqued,
555
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:57.680
so it's really not what it's about. Critique actually is
556
00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:59.519
good for you, Yes, you know what I'm saying. For
557
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.640
people to say, oh, you're great, you're one hundred percent,
558
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:02.559
you're one thousand percent.
559
00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:05.599
That ain't doing there's there's no growth, there's really.
560
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:09.400
No Yeah, and it creates this mechanism in your brain.
561
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:12.119
It has you big hitted and thinking you're better than
562
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.480
everybody else and what you know so on and so forth.
563
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:17.920
Not everybody, but there are those who do that. But
564
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:24.079
I say, critiquing individuals and telling them, hey, not is
565
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:25.960
how you do it, you know, saying you can't say
566
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:28.799
you're wrong, you suck, you know, I mean you can't
567
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:31.720
say that, but you know your your response is going
568
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:32.920
to be quite aggressive.
569
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:35.960
So when I when I think of that, though, like
570
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:39.039
I think of like also poor communication and the way
571
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:42.039
that the world is today too, Like we might tell
572
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:46.559
somebody something and then we weren't detailed enough, so they
573
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:48.119
went and did it, but they didn't do it the
574
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.519
way that you expected it, right, and isn't necessarily their fault.
575
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.799
But then you're like, I didn't realize I didn't communicate
576
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:56.599
that detailed.
577
00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:59.640
Well, okay, so let me let me give you this example.
578
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:04.200
So so let's just say you have thirty years experience, right,
579
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:08.880
and I have thirty days experience. Okay, so what's what's
580
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:12.799
coming out to you definitely won't become an oledge to me? Right,
581
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:17.960
So if you say, hey, go over there and fix that,
582
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:21.319
in your mind, it's it's a simple process and all
583
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:25.400
the details are already in that statement. But if I'm
584
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:28.039
only there three, I'm like, well, okay, go for where, yeah,
585
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.880
fix and fix what you know what I'm saying.
586
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:34.440
You tie the string to that shoe and then then
587
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.000
that handlebar and you're and then the person who asked
588
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.160
you to do it's like, well, well you did buy
589
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:40.880
those things, but that's not what I mean.
590
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:44.599
You're like, well, you should be able to see what's
591
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:48.119
wrong with that, and oh yeah, I should be able
592
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:49.160
to see what's wrong with it.
593
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:52.839
But I'm looking over there. I got nothing. But you
594
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:53.319
know what I mean.
595
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:55.279
But do you do you stick your foot in your
596
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:56.480
mouth and you call them out or.
597
00:32:56.440 --> 00:33:01.640
Do you no, no, no, you you well, if they
598
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:04.079
if they're looking like they're a deer stuck in highland
599
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:07.880
and headlights and you said, okay, so let me let
600
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:09.640
me let me walk you over here, they give you
601
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:11.480
a little bit more detail, you know what I'm saying.
602
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:14.079
So this is what I'm talking about, you know. And
603
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.279
this for this right here, it's not how it's supposed
604
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:19.640
to be, but this is the way we wanted to look.
605
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:22.799
So this is what you have to do to fix this,
606
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:25.079
you know what I'm saying. Uh So it's just a
607
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.759
little bit more effort, a little bit more wording. But
608
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:33.279
that's a perfect example. I think when people give direction,
609
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.359
it's like you got a thousand miles in already, and
610
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:41.160
this person just has twelve, right, so you have to
611
00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:44.240
bring them up to speed with more communication to make
612
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:46.839
sure they're not, you know, walking around with clouds in
613
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:47.200
their head.
614
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:50.799
Yeah that's good man, that's good. Let's keep.
615
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:54.160
Let's keep. Is it you or me?
616
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:56.799
It's you now, did you know?
617
00:33:58.039 --> 00:33:58.240
Yeah?
618
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:02.000
Yeah, absolutely? Okay, So my last one for today is
619
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:03.160
call it a day.
620
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:13.960
Maybe we should have you go second. So, uh, you
621
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:15.559
don't even want to do my last one now, this
622
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:16.239
is ridiculous.
623
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:21.000
We'll call it a day after you do your last one.
624
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:27.920
So basically, uh, this knowing when you put all that
625
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.119
you can do into a certain.
626
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:34.039
Time frame or uh.
627
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.320
John said, this is this is the favorite part of
628
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:39.920
his day.
629
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:43.440
I con courage John.
630
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:48.320
Than John, I appreciate you.
631
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:51.559
Yeah, I appreciate your input too. It's been great. Uh.
632
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:57.039
So, basically, you know, whether it's a corporate business or
633
00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:05.119
national business or international business, so personal business, or just
634
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:09.880
a small family owned business, at some point during the
635
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:13.079
day we have to learn that there's a shutoff point
636
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:17.519
and pick up the rest tomorrow. You know, don't bite
637
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:21.440
off more than you can chew. Basically, just know that
638
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.280
there's twenty four hours in a day. We're not going
639
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:26.440
to get any more in that, and then you have
640
00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:28.559
to have you can hope a little bit more there,
641
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:33.159
maybe just a little. And then then there's the work
642
00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:37.599
family balance that you would hope to want to create. Uh.
643
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:38.920
And then there's sleep.
644
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.400
You know what I'm saying, a lot of people dig
645
00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:45.159
into their sleep to create a longer day, which is
646
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:48.599
very guilty of that. But I'm learning more and more
647
00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:51.639
each day that that's one of the areas that I
648
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:52.360
shouldn't cut.
649
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.519
I'll tell you, well, I'll take some of yours.
650
00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:00.000
I get more sleep to you.
651
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:05.199
Uh yeah, but you've already put in your years of
652
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:05.960
that though.
653
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:10.880
Yes, I have so so so you know, at some
654
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:14.039
point we have to say, hey, look, you know this
655
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:17.800
is too much for one day. We'll cut it off
656
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:19.400
here and we'll pick.
657
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:20.159
It back up tomorrow.
658
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:23.639
Or you know, even you know, even if something like
659
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:26.239
it's personal, like a planning a wedding, you know what
660
00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:29.800
I'm saying. Some people give themselves three months, which is insane.
661
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:33.800
Some people give themselves six months, which is almost as crazy.
662
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:36.480
And then there are people who say, you know, let's
663
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:38.760
take a year to two years to do this, because
664
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:41.760
there's a lot involved. We got a lot of people
665
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:44.599
to incorporate into this. We got people from all over
666
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:47.320
the states then have to be a part of this.
667
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:49.639
You know what I'm saying. We have to not only
668
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:54.400
give ourselves enough time to make this a successful event,
669
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:58.079
but give other people time as well, especially if they
670
00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:01.960
got a by plane tickets and get hotel rooms and
671
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:04.320
all that stuff, you know, request time off from the job,
672
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:06.480
all that others things. You know what I'm saying. It's
673
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:12.199
just a way to put things together and in the
674
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:15.480
amount of time that you need. Uh, yes, you will
675
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.039
probably want to get married sooner. But how smart is that?
676
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.559
How realistic is that? You know what I'm saying. So
677
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:24.280
don't bite off more than you can chew. You have
678
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.159
to call it a day. You have to schedule.
679
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:29.199
Go ahead.
680
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:32.920
I think that this is more about prioritizing your day too,
681
00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:36.360
you know, like you know what, when when you wake
682
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.800
up in the morning, you know what, what did you
683
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:42.480
have anything planned? And if so, what's more crucial than
684
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:46.599
the others. That way, you know, you're at least uh
685
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.800
utilizing your days properly, so that when you're calling it
686
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.440
a day, it's like, now, you know I did everything
687
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.800
that I you know that needed to be done. And
688
00:37:55.840 --> 00:38:00.039
these things can wait, you know, they uh, and it
689
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:03.679
feels better at the end of the day rather than man,
690
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:05.599
I can't believe I didn't get that done, you know.
691
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:09.519
So I think I actually did a live on TikTok
692
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.440
recently about this topic about do you prioritize or do
693
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:16.599
you just roll with it? You know? And I think
694
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:19.639
that the difference between the responses that I got were
695
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:23.679
that the people who were more prioritized or had sort
696
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:29.199
of a checklist, whether it's mental or written down, tend
697
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:34.199
to have a better day in general than the ones
698
00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:35.880
who just roll with it.
699
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:38.880
Because they don't.
700
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:44.000
Have that procrastination aspect of last minute having to do things,
701
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:48.599
because it's all jotted down, whether it's here or on paper.
702
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:53.800
So I think calling it a day is crucial if
703
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:58.440
you're prioritizing yourself too, you know, like there's no point
704
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:00.320
even calling it a day if you just think VISU
705
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:00.920
roll with it.
706
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:02.599
It's just it's a day as it is.
707
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:08.280
But at that point, are you just coasting or are
708
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:11.079
you trying to go anywhere? You know, Like, is there
709
00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:14.079
a purpose to you breathing in the same oxygen that
710
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:17.159
we're breathing in? I would think so but what is that?
711
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:18.639
Why aren't you trying to find it?
712
00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:18.800
Like?
713
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:21.000
Why are you just waking up and then going to bed?
714
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:21.760
Like what?
715
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:24.920
What? What strategy is there behind that?
716
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:29.159
Probably little to none.
717
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:33.159
I have I have lived. I'm sorry, I'll want you talk.
718
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:36.199
I have lived that way at one point in my life,
719
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.000
and I was at the worst point in my life.
720
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:43.079
So what you got, I was just gonna high like
721
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:46.840
sleep again, because once again, I don't think people realize
722
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:51.840
how important enough sleep or proper sleep is for us
723
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:53.000
to be more effective.
724
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:54.320
You know what I'm saying.
725
00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:57.360
Uh, you know, I can think about a time where
726
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.639
I was literally lucky to get too four hours of
727
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:03.480
sleep a day. You know that was that was only
728
00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:07.239
because I was taking power naps in between, right, But
729
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:13.000
I was just that busy. And but a full straight
730
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:18.880
eight or nine hours would be definitely a game changer
731
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.840
because you're well rested, you'll think, more sharp on your feet,
732
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:25.800
You'll you'll think, for one, you won't be walking around
733
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:26.639
like a zombie.
734
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:27.320
Uh.
735
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:31.679
I averaged like five hours, So I mean.
736
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:36.440
So yeah, I mean when you look at it, and
737
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:38.480
you know, everybody has the same amount of time, it's
738
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:42.119
just some people make it a priority. Like you said,
739
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:47.519
to make sure that they get the needed amount of rest.
740
00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:51.679
That way they can you know, strategize a little bit
741
00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:55.599
better or more effective. And when they call it a day,
742
00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:59.599
for some reason, they got eight more things than everybody
743
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:04.360
else done. You know what I'm saying, because of they're
744
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:07.159
taking care of every every area that makes the most
745
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:09.360
sense in it, and it balances out.
746
00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:09.800
You know.
747
00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:14.519
Yeah, I get that, And I think that, if anything,
748
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:19.199
that's something that I do lack different than you than John.
749
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:24.440
Apparently I need to call it a day sometimes and
750
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:26.599
I feel like there's more that I can get done
751
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:29.800
and I don't necessarily need the rest. But then what
752
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:33.400
will happen is is I'll have a day where I'm like, Okay,
753
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:35.960
I'm gonna get these things done, and then four pm
754
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:38.519
hits it is my day off, and I'm crashed out
755
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:42.920
on the couch until eight am the next morning, and
756
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:48.199
then I don't feel good because I overslept well. I
757
00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:50.960
do think that there's a lot of balance and structure
758
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:52.840
behind calling.
759
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:56.119
It a day, absolutely if you use it the proper way.
760
00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:58.079
Absolutely so I do.
761
00:41:58.199 --> 00:41:59.559
That was a good one.
762
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:00.000
Thank you.
763
00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:05.480
I also have if at first you don't succeed skydiving
764
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:06.519
definitely isn't for you.
765
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:16.559
I don't think there's nothing after that and you don't
766
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:21.119
succeed the first I think anybody.
767
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:25.519
Who knows me and my comical absurdness I found that
768
00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:29.800
clever in the sense that sort of the binding off
769
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:33.639
more than you can chew or the you know, stick
770
00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:37.880
in your foot in your mouth, It sort of falls
771
00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:43.320
in line with that similar layout. And like, if there's
772
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:46.199
something you're not good at and you try and you
773
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:48.599
try and you try it and it's just not good,
774
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:52.480
maybe that's not for you. You know, maybe you should
775
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:56.159
focus on other aspects of what you could potentially be
776
00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:59.119
good at. Because there's everybody I feel like probably has
777
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:02.039
something that they're good at and they don't tap into
778
00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:03.760
it because they're like, no, I want to beat this.
779
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.119
This is my idol, and I'm gonna be a musician
780
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.360
because this person is my idol. Well, maybe you just
781
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.199
weren't meant to be a musician, you know, And and
782
00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:18.519
that's that is that is okay, you know. So I
783
00:43:18.559 --> 00:43:24.079
think accepting what you're not good at and acknowledging it,
784
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:25.800
Like I know, I know for a fact that I've
785
00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:28.199
attempted to sing and I'm not good at it.
786
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:29.920
And that's why podcast.
787
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:34.119
I'm good at talking. I'm good at talking. I think
788
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.239
I'm a great host as far as vocally, I mean,
789
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:42.719
without a bunch of tuning it and adjusting. I'll stick
790
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:47.840
with this, which is more strength to you and other
791
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:50.519
artists out there they do well because it's like, I mean,
792
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:52.760
there's very talented people out there, but that's not me,
793
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:56.480
you know, So I think it's crucial to acknowledge you're
794
00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:57.960
what you're just not good at.
795
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.519
And I know that, Like I hit my line when I.
796
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:04.360
Went to that position, and you know, uh, several months
797
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:06.599
ago that that ended up in this way.
798
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:06.960
It did.
799
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:11.000
I I put myself in a position thinking that I
800
00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:14.639
knew what I was getting into, and it was very overwhelming.
801
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:18.039
It was very overwhelming, and I had to just accept
802
00:44:18.039 --> 00:44:21.920
it and and just accept whatever was going to happen.
803
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:22.400
And I did.
804
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:26.440
But I definitely feel a hell of a lot better
805
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:28.719
now than I did at that time.
806
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:31.480
If that makes sense, That makes great sense.
807
00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:37.800
I'm gonna kind of piggyback on your statement, but go
808
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:39.079
with the opposite direction.
809
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:40.360
Uh.
810
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:44.000
You said acknowledge what you're not good at, uh, and
811
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:47.760
I must say, acknowledge what you are good at, because
812
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:51.599
some people don't want to gravitate towards what they are
813
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:54.559
good at, they want to go another direction.
814
00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:55.920
Uh.
815
00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:59.519
To me, it's almost the same as trying to do
816
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:03.559
something you're not good at versus doing something that.
817
00:45:03.519 --> 00:45:04.119
You're good at.
818
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:09.000
But some people trying to shy away from what they're
819
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:11.639
good at because I guess it may be a bigger challenge,
820
00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:15.400
you know what I'm saying, Or it may be more
821
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:19.559
money involved or maybe more time consuming, you know what
822
00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:20.039
I'm saying.
823
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:24.039
To get there. If you're good at.
824
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:28.320
Something it's a natural talent, like an artist or a musician,
825
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:33.000
go for it, you know what I'm saying. And then
826
00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:34.599
you know, there are people like, well, you don't make
827
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:36.760
that much money as an artist until you die, you know,
828
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:39.119
you know, you hear stuff like that. But there are
829
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:41.719
people who make tons of money as an artist, right,
830
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:43.719
depending on which direction they're going in.
831
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:44.079
Right.
832
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:48.360
And then there are people who probably would be a
833
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:51.440
great doctor or a surgeon or whatever, but because it
834
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:53.880
takes so long to go through all those classes and
835
00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:57.760
get the acknowledge and get all that experience under your belt,
836
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.760
they'll maybe go another out, you know what I'm saying.
837
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:05.199
So I'm saying, appreciate what you're good at, no matter
838
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:08.559
what the obstacles are. Uh, the journey to get to
839
00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:11.719
those spots will make you even better than you thought
840
00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:15.079
you could ever believe, right, So, and then you may
841
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:20.519
end up being one of the key components into uh
842
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:23.199
finding answers and some of these solutions that need to
843
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:23.960
be made out there.
844
00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:24.320
Right.
845
00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:28.519
So that's the direction I wanted to go from your statement,
846
00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:32.159
which is kind of the same, just kind of looking
847
00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:33.800
at it a different way, which as I always do.
848
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:37.320
Well, I like that you said that because it actually
849
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:43.320
kind of sparked something. Oh okay, cool, Uh, I actually
850
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:46.360
prefer so. So I've we've talked about how I've been
851
00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:49.719
doing really good on TikTok and my dreams, and I
852
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:52.880
actually do enjoy it and it has a great outcome.
853
00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:55.719
The stupid little clips I do, that's all part of
854
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.360
the growth. It's all part of the growth. That's JG's lounge.
855
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:01.800
But I'm what I really enjoy is this. But over
856
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:04.440
the last few months, you know I And the reason
857
00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:07.039
I sorry, the reason I enjoy this is because the
858
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:09.039
quality of the content that we put out is a
859
00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:13.920
lot clearer the outcome and the presentation is just it's
860
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:17.199
much better in my opinion than just go and live
861
00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:20.519
on TikTok. Right. I might have more of an audience
862
00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:27.079
on there, but the quality of the recordings and the audio,
863
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:31.119
it's just I prefer this. I like the aspect of
864
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:34.079
this more than that. So I'm trying to figure out
865
00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:37.679
a way to balance both because I don't necessarily want
866
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:39.440
to get rid of the other one because it's doing
867
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:42.960
really well. But at the same time, this is what
868
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:44.119
I enjoy more.
869
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:46.000
You get what I'm saying.
870
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:49.519
So it's like I wanted here's your growth, here's your growth.
871
00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:53.679
Here's this cup filling up on its own organically by
872
00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:56.760
stuff that I'm just like, no, it's whatever, but it's
873
00:47:56.840 --> 00:48:01.039
it's fueling. It's filling the tank back up and driving
874
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:04.000
this And I think that that's a good way to
875
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:07.280
word it in my but it's it's it's hard to
876
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:12.760
kind of figure out the proper balance of both because
877
00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:15.840
my like my following on that are are following on this,
878
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:19.039
like on our podcast, is separate, but from the following
879
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:22.639
from the clips. Right, you know, you have the same
880
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:24.639
people that like the clips, you have the same people
881
00:48:24.639 --> 00:48:29.280
that like the shows, and then you have, you know,
882
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:32.800
a couple of handfuls of people that like both, but
883
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:37.880
you need both to continue to grow. And it's it's
884
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:42.199
it's a tough thing to figure out, especially as like
885
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:44.320
the host of the network and kind of the five
886
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:50.760
years that I've invested into this is continuing to strive
887
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:54.599
to find that next level to continue giving people the
888
00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:57.480
quality that they want, uh, and the stuff that they
889
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:01.679
enjoy because our network has of avariety of content, you know,
890
00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:05.960
variety shows, slapstick comedy, serious stuff like this with a
891
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:09.199
blend of comedy. You know, it's just some some just
892
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:12.960
down to earth conversations with people. But it's it's it's
893
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:16.639
finding the balance for everyone to where everyone can enjoy it.
894
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:19.079
And a lot more is coming.
895
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:24.639
It's just it's a good bad. It's a good bad.
896
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:27.239
It's not even I don't want to say bad. It's
897
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.719
just it's a good thing. It's great, great guys.
898
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:38.960
Uh, yeah, man, I love the direction we're going and uh,
899
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:42.880
this is all great. And figuring out figuring out how
900
00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:46.719
to make it all fit together. Uh, that's where we're
901
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:50.960
at right now, wrecking our brains. But I have a
902
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:53.000
great solution, Like I told you earlier, you know, we
903
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:54.559
just chip.
904
00:49:54.400 --> 00:50:00.199
On top and put it all together ourselves. Right, it's
905
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:01.800
a it's a simple I do.
906
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:03.719
But and there is point.
907
00:50:03.800 --> 00:50:06.039
So here's the thing, Like when we first talked, right
908
00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:08.039
when we first when you first approached me, like, hey,
909
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:09.360
I heard you do this podcast thing.
910
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:12.639
You want to be a part of it. You're the
911
00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:13.719
first person.
912
00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:17.079
That had Like I've had people throughout the states that
913
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:19.679
have been like, yeah, let's do it. But like you
914
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:23.760
and I have enough interaction, and you're so invested in
915
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:25.960
it as well as I am, and I see it,
916
00:50:26.719 --> 00:50:29.119
and I think there's time to understand it and acknowledge
917
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:31.360
that sometimes you need to bring somebody in, Like you
918
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:34.360
don't have to do everything yourself because the result of
919
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:37.639
the outcome could be twice as much when you bring
920
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:38.280
somebody in.
921
00:50:38.519 --> 00:50:41.199
And twice better because you got different views, you know
922
00:50:41.239 --> 00:50:41.599
what I'm.
923
00:50:41.440 --> 00:50:44.400
Saying, right, I mean, we've got like I think we
924
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:46.519
have five adamins right now. We're all kind of all
925
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:50.039
over the place, but you know we're there. You know.
926
00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:54.280
I picked them specifically because of the characteristics that they
927
00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:55.920
bring to the table for the network.
928
00:50:56.239 --> 00:50:57.719
It does.
929
00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:01.280
It does balance and if if keeping it a float
930
00:51:01.320 --> 00:51:04.920
is doing what we do and continuing to structure and
931
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:07.880
build what we're doing the rest of it's just going
932
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:08.880
to roll right into it.
933
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:09.159
Man.
934
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:12.639
And I will say this, man, because when I got involved,
935
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.239
it was just you and Rofki.
936
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:15.880
I think.
937
00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:21.719
Because he was my first. I think I distributed and
938
00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:24.760
ran the production for other shows, but he was my
939
00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:29.159
first like co host with the network and kind of
940
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:32.400
one of the ad He was the first person that
941
00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:35.000
I started questioning as an ADMIN. And I love the
942
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:37.320
Brofiki to death, but there are times where he's just
943
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:39.480
not there. But when he is there, he's great, and
944
00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:42.039
that's fine. We're busy people. We have other adamins like that.
945
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:44.639
But yeah, it was just the two.
946
00:51:44.440 --> 00:51:46.760
Of us, and then it was a couple others who
947
00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:51.559
were considering. But I've been here during those times of
948
00:51:51.639 --> 00:51:52.199
growth and.
949
00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:55.480
I love it, man. I love to see that.
950
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:59.000
I love the people that come aboard and I think
951
00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:01.760
they're all great and I think we all work together well.
952
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:04.599
And uh, just to see where it came in that
953
00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:07.239
a little small span of time, which is almost two
954
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:11.800
years in October, which is crazy to see. Yeah, it's
955
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:15.880
just like it just went, you know what I mean.
956
00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:22.280
I'm really looking forward to what it does in the future.
957
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:25.159
Yeah, I agree, man, I can't.
958
00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:27.719
I think that's a great way to wrap up this episode.
959
00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:33.280
I think that let's call it a day, John, let's
960
00:52:33.320 --> 00:52:35.719
call it man. I do want to thank all of
961
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:38.360
you that have tuned in tonight and for those of
962
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:40.480
you that have been a part of JJ's Lounge as
963
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:46.119
we continue to grow. I did just introduce nice collar productions.
964
00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:47.440
I do want to throw.
965
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:52.679
It's funny, it is, it's common. And the thing is
966
00:52:52.679 --> 00:52:57.119
is I'm bringing aspects to the table and redesigning. So
967
00:52:57.199 --> 00:52:59.719
JJ's Lounge kind of had this the logo in itself
968
00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:02.119
kind of have this me pointing down with like a
969
00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:05.400
bar scene behind it. But I don't want any of that.
970
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:10.880
John said, Yeah, I don't want that to be a
971
00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:14.239
perception in it at all. So I kind of restructured
972
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:16.360
the lounge just more of just a hanging out place
973
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:19.719
to come and relax, Like, I don't think that there
974
00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:22.880
needs to be imagery or anything that kind of presents
975
00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:26.519
something that it doesn't need to be in the structure
976
00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:28.000
of this network. Because I wanted to kind of be
977
00:53:28.400 --> 00:53:31.880
appealing to anyone and everyone. I might get a little
978
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:34.320
explicit here and there, and I don't necessarily think that
979
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:34.880
that's bad.
980
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:35.199
PG.
981
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:38.519
Thirteen's fine, But I want, you know, my kids to
982
00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:40.039
be able to watch this stuff and be like, well
983
00:53:40.079 --> 00:53:41.639
that was good. You know. I don't want to put
984
00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:45.239
anything out there that's not you know, something that my
985
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:48.199
kids are going to watch later and be like you
986
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:48.639
did that.
987
00:53:48.920 --> 00:53:50.800
I can't, you know what I'm saying.
988
00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:55.800
So as we grow, when we structure, I really am
989
00:53:56.159 --> 00:54:00.159
developing the culture that is JG's Lounge and nice call
990
00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:06.159
our productions. The clip itself is absurd, but it is
991
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:10.800
the first clip on JG's Lounge that went viral and
992
00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:14.519
to this day still holds the most views at two
993
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:20.880
point one million views. And that's crazy, but that's just
994
00:54:21.159 --> 00:54:25.159
as a symbol of you know, hey, people like what
995
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:28.519
we're doing, so let's keep going. So I brought that
996
00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:31.840
to the table and you'll be seeing more of it, everybody.
997
00:54:31.920 --> 00:54:34.119
So I just wanted to throw that in there, and
998
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:37.880
Journey Too will be coming out soon, you know, as
999
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:40.800
as the business continues to grow and structure, I think
1000
00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:46.320
we need elements that kind of define the different aspects
1001
00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:49.960
of JJ's Lounge. So yeah, that's what I got.
1002
00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:50.679
Thank you everybody.
1003
00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:53.519
What do you got I'm just thinking about I want
1004
00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:55.400
to do another stands daft Sockets.
1005
00:54:55.920 --> 00:55:00.519
Yes soon, yeah, yes, definitely. Those are lot of fun.
1006
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:02.360
I like it because that's the one show where I
1007
00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:09.639
actually do research. It's good though, and they're fun, man,
1008
00:55:09.679 --> 00:55:13.400
I love getting into those those kind of nitty gritty,
1009
00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:17.199
sometimes grotesque.
1010
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:21.559
But just history history. Yeah, so it's fun.
1011
00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:23.440
But yeah, we'll do that. Maybe I'll get in touch
1012
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:24.880
with Sean. We can probably do something late this week
1013
00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:28.039
or next definitely next week, and let's make it happen. Man,
1014
00:55:28.079 --> 00:55:31.599
