Y'all might have to just like break this up in pieces because we're gonna talk about a lot. And well, let's start start out with thank you to our new subscribers. Yes, thank you. We're getting to the point now where we can't really personalize this stuff, and that's a good problem to have. It's a lot of y'all. What I learned is that we do this pod on Buzzsproutcom, which shout out to y'all. I've been learning and reading a lot about what this platform has to offer, and the crazy part is this is just the the. Uh, you ever seen the scene on men in black where the male guy's in there with the cigarette and he's like so yeah, that's what buzzsprout is.
Speaker 1:It's like throwing our podcast everywhere, and then you gotta make an account on spotify and on apple podcast to see the other analytics.
Speaker 1:Bro, we're killing it on spotify really yo we have like over 600 impressions on that joint. Oh, and then there's other downloads and other subscribers on spotify, but you don't know that because it doesn't. They don't talk to each other, right right. So, like, thank y'all to. To the spotify listeners, and the crazy part is a lot of our android listeners are spotify listeners, so you know what I'll take back. I take back everything I said about android, but I'm I'm just loyal. Uh, you know what you iphone guys are corny oh man like.
Speaker 1:You got one of the easiest phones to use, while ios is one of the best operating systems ever, and y'all don't even tune in for real.
Speaker 2:Uh, I mean, I'm still a little bit iphone illiterate myself, but I understand.
Speaker 1:But look on the iPhone. This is something for y'all. We're going to give y'all information every time. If you go to your phone right and you hit search and you type T-I-P-S, you can learn about what to do on your phone. It teaches you, it has tips, tutorials. You can read the stuff. It'll tell you how you were to go and how to operate that phone that you have right now that you have no idea how capable it is of making you some money that's pretty neat it.
Speaker 1:It's just, it's a very user-friendly platform, just like bus brouf. So for all you folks that want to make a podcast, uh, it's very easy. It's very easy. I did it while I was taking a shit, for real. So I mean and there's no cap in that, bro I was literally taking a shit and I was like yo, let's, let's do a pod and name it fat and sweets. And here we are, look at that, episode seven. We're gonna keep going and be consistent, inconsistent but consistent.
Speaker 2:We kind of there yeah, we got seven episodes, bro.
Speaker 1:We're oversaturated in the market it's only been a week, in a couple days, bro, y'all. Y'all give us some grace and we need to give ourselves some grace, which we'll we'll probably circle back to later. We were just talking about grace and mercy before we started this, um. So yeah, let's get right into it. Gratitude for all the new subscribers, the subscribers to come, the people who are kind of in the middle about whether they want to. I'm just happy. Y'all listening. Yes, the fan mail is fire. The emails I'm seeing are great and people have been hitting us on all the socials. I don't know what you've been seeing on your side, but we've been getting a number of good feedback.
Speaker 2:Appreciate the feedback.
Speaker 1:Don't stroke our ego like that, because we just want to keep potting and now we got people paying for subscription. You know we got to put out episodes now.
Speaker 2:My hands are already big. Y'all pumping my shit up even more.
Speaker 1:Oh, and you know what? Now we've moved past the first nine subscribers. Congratulations to all of those who have their $250. Yes, congrats, we get to spill the beans now that it's out, and the last person to receive their payment is going to be Rye she needs hers for this weekend. So we kind of I'm just spacing it out a little bit so she can go there with the whole thing. If I give her the $250 now, she's going to have to buy groceries and all that Right right, right right.
Speaker 1:Get on your trip, hit me up, and then I'm going to just send that drink. Now, it's all yours.
Speaker 3:There you go, so now you know the secret.
Speaker 1:I like that. The folks that didn't read the email didn't even know that they were going to receive some cash, but they did and they were like bro, it was in the email Everybody that subscribed be a bus, bro, don't question God's blessing. Yeah, bro, don't block your own blessing. Except there were two people, three people that sent it right back. Oh, that's huge.
Speaker 3:Sent it right back.
Speaker 1:They was like bro, just keep going.
Speaker 3:Shout out to y'all.
Speaker 1:I'm talking about Miss Charity. She the one I'm putting spiritual mother.
Speaker 1:She said um we did need this for the easter event, but here, use it, keep going. That's huge. That one almost made me cry. I was like, bro, you could take this and get the kids candy and whatever else, some little easter eggs and whatever. We know, easter ain't about the bunny forever, but kids like the candy and the eggs and going on the easter egg hunt, whatever she was, just like you know what god will provide that we're gonna just pour this back into you.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's tough thank you so, yeah, we started out with some gratitude, man. We're thankful for everybody that has been tuning in because, like that's gonna lead us right into it. Bro, I was terrified to start this drink because of you know just uh, business opportunities and what people might think about what I say, because I'm a loose cannon, I'm very opinionated, I have a lot of unpopular opinions and sometimes that might rub people the wrong way. And so, despite the fear, I had the capital C word that we're going to talk about and I did it anyway. And now, guess what? We have monthly recurring revenue. So, every good thing, like I said on TikTok, live, live for those of y'all that heard that. Like I said on the little snippets that I posted, like I said on my story on instagram, every good thing in life is on the other side of that f word and I cannot stand fear fear.
Speaker 2:I'm seeing me being somebody who deals with fear. It's like it's not by choice. You don't want to be scared of shit. You don't want to be nervous of things. Fear is a human emotion. It happens to all of us. But allowing your fear to cripple you and keep you stuck, I see that's the rub, that's the issue.
Speaker 1:That is a serious problem For a lot of people and I think that we were going to talk about dating today.
Speaker 1:We are putting that in a little box. We call it the parking lot at my old place of employment. So whenever we had stuff we wanted to talk about that we didn't have time for at the moment, we would put it in the parking lot, we would park it for later and it would be like a little whiteboard and I'll be like all right, cool, we got a little bit of time to kill. Let's grab one of these from the parking lot and talk about it and we'll go lying through it. So, metaphorically, we're gonna put dating in the parking lot. So if y'all ever want to hear us talk about something that we haven't gotten to yet, just like comment on whatever uh parking lot, and then put the topic and then we're gonna write it down and then we'll get back to it.
Speaker 1:But today, fear is like the main thing. It is a problem. It is a serious problem for me and and I think it's more of a problem because I also am fearful I'll be fully transparent. I was extremely fearful of being a father. That is a huge responsibility, but you know, when you find out that the person is your partner is pregnant. Well, guess what you do with that fear? You kind of got to just look it in the face and deal with it. You can't do anything other than go all right, I'm I'm scared to be a father, and now I'm a father. So guess what? I got to be a father. Have some courage, that's the what I gotta be a father. Have some courage, that's the capital c word. If you couldn't guess that, well I'm gonna give it to you. Courage over fear is a fraction. I want you to write somewhere and look at on whatever c over f, c-o-u-r-a-g-e period over fear. If y'all math whizzes are in here numerator is what courage, denominator what fear.
Speaker 2:Come on yeah, I guess it gets to a point where you can't allow your fear to be your bully, like y'all are in here making love to fear.
Speaker 1:For what?
Speaker 2:Why are you sucking fear's titty, bro, fear is human, but when you make the choice to let your fear bully you, I don't know about y'all, but I get to a point where where I get sick of being bullied by shit, Like if I was ever kidnapped if I was ever kidnapped, I would be the worst hostage they would bring you back, probably, or they're just going to off me Because, like, don't get me wrong, I'm going to be scared at first.
Speaker 2:All right, y'all got that off, but then I'm going to get to a point where, man, look, y'all going to have to kill me because y' same with my fears. Yes, they are present yes, I acknowledge them.
Speaker 1:I said the same thing about slavery.
Speaker 2:They would have killed me they would have chopped both my feet at least talk too much, right?
Speaker 1:I'm like, oh, it's 400 of us and two of y'all, yo come on, I need about three of y'all for real. Well, I don't even need them, I just need some, some gangsters that's gonna run up on them.
Speaker 2:Brats, it's too many of us see, I would have been a bad slave because I've just been trying to run. I ain't gonna try to fight, but the minute I'm like, hey look it's messed up.
Speaker 1:This is messed up. I'm gonna make the joke anyway. I would have been in there like yeah, yeah, it's massive I saw it sir, I cook, I clean for you. I'm cracking dude, give me the gun everybody we out.
Speaker 2:But see, that's the thing, though them slaves were, so they were so messed up in the head.
Speaker 1:They were manipulated by scripture, scripture.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying? They would've grabbed you and held you themselves for master to cook you.
Speaker 1:No, this Tom. What is it called, Uncle Tom?
Speaker 2:Uncle Tom, yeah, I would've been in there.
Speaker 1:What'd he say? What'd Jay-Z say Light nigga, dark nigga. Rich nigga, poor nigga, old nigga, real nigga, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Free us and you in here trying to do the crab in the barrel your own folks would have grabbed you up, fear dog, come on, we still cooking. They'd have chopped both my feet because I'm running any chance, I think Master not looking.
Speaker 1:And I said it on Instagram Fuck the delivery, y'all are pussies. I don't even care, ma, you're going to have to skip this potential. There was a great mentor that I had that told me about fleas and he said that fleas, when they're born, can jump up to six feet in the air. I never fact checked this, but the story was great and he said sometimes you can be in an environment where, let's just say, metaphorically, it's a mason jar that you can only jump to the height of that jar, and if it's not six feet, well, you're not jumping to your highest potential. And then what happens? You reproduce and then you have a bunch of other fleas that can only jump to the lid of the jar. Well, y'all are doing that to yourself. You put your own lid on your own mason jar instead of taking the lid off. The lid is the fear and then jumping to be what you're supposed to be. I don't know if I even did that justice, because the way he packaged it up was way better no, it makes sense.
Speaker 1:It's basically saying you're not living up to your full potential not at all because you're putting limits, and that angers me it really does, because, like I see other people's gifts and and ideas and that some of them are million billion dollar ideas and they just are like no, I'm no, I'm scared and I don't want to do it because what's the name is gonna get mad and my mom and dad are gonna get upset with me and it's like, bro, are you do? You don't even live at home with them what they gonna do? Whoop, you put you on timeout and punishment. What are you worrying about? What mommy and daddy said? You got your own crib and your own kids. You raising your own family. You worried about your mom being upset. Ask my mom how many times she's been mad at me.
Speaker 1:And there was no cap in that, bro. She's been like who are you? Who you think you're talking to? Well, guess what, mom? This is my crib, this is my shit. Come on, bro, what you? Anyways, I can go off on that all day. What else are people scared of? Oh, public speaking. What the hell do y'all think this podcast is? I mean, it's me and Sweets in here. We by ourselves, but this is public speaking, is it not?
Speaker 2:I mean yeah, but I mean Hold on. I mean look, put me on If we did this on a stage with an audience.
Speaker 1:You know we're going to have to do that eventually, right?
Speaker 2:Eventually, but I'm going to be scared as shit.
Speaker 1:And guess what you're going to have? Courage, oh, say it like you mean it. Courage, do whatever you need to to get that through. It is okay, I'm going to steal all of Kobe's game right now. If y'all know me, y'all know how much I love Kobe Kobe's game right now. If y'all know me, y'all know how much I love Kobe.
Speaker 1:Kobe talked about nervousness and fear one day on a very, very important podcast. You could go YouTube it. It's one of his most profound moments. He said nervousness is one of the best things you could ever have. Why? Because it means that you care about doing well. So what do you do?
Speaker 1:Focus on preparation. The more you prepare, the less nervous you are, the better you do. You take the nervousness, you package it all up. You mold it like clay, you do it like pottery whatever metaphorical example or analogy you want to use. You take the nervousness, the butterflies. That's good. That means you're alive, you feel something. You care about performing well, doing well, making sense, sounding articulate, whatever. Forget all that. Prepare, do your research, know what you're talking about. You get up there and you talk about it. You only talk about what you know. You don't try and pretend. Guess what you do Make an impact and you do great, and usually you do better than you thought you would in the first place, because your mind is like the lid on the freaking jar.
Speaker 1:And back to the other episodes. Where is your motherfucking heart? Where is it? I'm gonna let y'all think about that. We ain't even gotta say no, we're gonna give two seconds of silence. Where is your damn heart? Y'all don't know, because you're thinking too damn much. I got stuff to say today, but y'all might, y'all might want to unsub, because if you, if you feel attacked, well then shit, lace the shoe up, walk in that bitch until it don't apply no more, and you outgrow the shoe and you got something else. I don't even know if that made sense, but look, if you feel attacked, maybe this message is for you where's your heart? Where's your spirit? Where's your passion and your purpose? You don't know, because you ain't sit still long enough to figure it out.
Speaker 1:You wake up, turn your alarm off. First thing you want is tick time. What the hell did you do to sit silent for yourself? Go take a shit and sit there without your phone and just think what about that? Give time to yourself, give five minutes. Denzel Washington said it the best Five minutes of being still is so important. You ain't got to meditate yet. You don't even know how to do that, for you Can't even stop your own thoughts. Just acknowledge your thoughts for five minutes first. How about that? I'm gonna give you some unsolicited advice. Be the fuck still. And if you can't make five minutes, give yourself 60 seconds. God, we out here getting stabbed and poked up by life? That's 60 seconds.
Speaker 2:You start your day with is important.
Speaker 1:I've come to realize, though, a lot of people who aren't able to do that, are afraid to deal with their own thoughts. No, I know it's like um, here's the question of the day. If your thoughts were an actual person, would you spend time with them? Wow would you hang out with them, wow. Would you hang out with the thoughts that you have about yourself? Would you be best friends with them or would you be trying to cut them off? These are all rhetorical questions, but I want you to chew that over.
Speaker 2:That's a great question.
Speaker 1:If the voice in your head was a person in your circle, would you want to call them? Would you you want to text them? Would you want to hang out with them? If the answer to that is no, well, you got to do some figuring out, because that means your thoughts are dark, they are destructive, they are negative you don't think much of yourself you don't. And how the hell you gonna love somebody else how you? How are you gonna talk about dating? You don't even date yourself am I spinning or am I tripping?
Speaker 3:that's not the second you're cooking.
Speaker 1:I've done this for a long time. People just have this whole misconception about who I am. You have no idea how much time I spend in this dark mind. It's very gray now. It used to be black, now it's great.
Speaker 1:I can at least like okay, this is a, this is a thought. That's not mine, let me throw that out. It's like, uh, being in space and you're in an astronaut suit and you're seeing like meteors pass and like whatever. Right, I see the thoughts, whatever that did for y'all. Imagine that a shooting, shooting star just went by and you grabbed it and said, hmm, I don't like this one, and you throw it back out there. That's what I do. It's like meditation for me. That's what I see.
Speaker 1:I'm in space with a bunch of like things floating around and I go okay, I'm thinking about work. I don't want to think about work right now. Okay, I'm thinking about they all come extremely fast, but I don't delve into anything. Just be present with your breath, with your thoughts, and don't delve into any of them. Do that for as long as you can. Next thing, you know, guess what you're doing Meditation, imagination. I know y'all saw the rainbow with the clouds just now. Yeah, anyways, spend time with yourself. The more you spend time with yourself, that time is no longer lonely.
Speaker 2:It is you choosing to be in solitude I'll also say when you make the decision to spend time with yourself and learn yourself, that means you're you're making the conscious decision to progress. So those of you guys who are like, nah, I can't do it, then that's fine, enjoy complacency, then. That's how I see it.
Speaker 1:What is? What is the picture that I saw? I just took a screenshot of it. I think it said grow g-r-o-w. Getting rid of old ways, or something like that I like that yeah, it said getting rid of old ways.
Speaker 1:It was a double o. But yeah, if you're trying to, okay here. Here's the thing. I heard this um last week and I heard it just today, where somebody told me yo, you've changed. And you know what my response was. I'm supposed to.
Speaker 1:You used to think this way, now you don't. That's weird. You changed. It's weird that I grew. Wow, oh, what you're telling me is you see the growth in me and you don't like it because you wanted me to stay in the old ways. Nah, it's time for evolution, it's time for maturation, it's time for improving yourself. And that's what I chose to do. And, unfortunately, for those who don't want to see me succeed, well, I'm succeeding. I'm rich in love, I'm rich in family, I'm actually rich in a lot of things but, most importantly, my mindset is sharp, and iron sharpens iron. So if you think I'm sharp, well, what you think sweets is, I'll let that be. I'm going think I'm sharp, but what you think sweets is, I'll let that be. I'm gonna just let that cook. I'm gonna let that simmer on the stove for you, cooking or non-cooking folks, whatever you know what simmering is. If you don't know, google what simmer is.
Speaker 2:It's low heat, bubbling you definitely cook it, not the bubbling sound yeah, they hear it tism.
Speaker 1:Are we beating a dead horse or like?
Speaker 2:no, no, it makes sense, though, but again, I just like for those who still make the decision to be like you know you're not ready to face your demons yet, or you're not. You can't sit alone, and that's okay, because I know plenty of people who can't do it. It just means that you're not ready to grow yet but. But it's not, it must not be a problem for them.
Speaker 2:That means that they're not ready to grow, and that's okay if that's what they don't want, and you can't force that on them yo, I can't, but I just want them to understand you are choosing to not grow I'm saying and that's the point that I'm making, you're, you're making that choice, but if you are sick of of the way that you think, if you're, if you're tired of of I don't know seeing shit just one way, or you want to be different, then you know what you need to do everybody knows.
Speaker 1:That's the part that makes me angry. I'm about to rage out. That's not even the segment we on yet. But good lord, every time I ask somebody what should you do, they say I want to do this. But you know, right there in the first statement you said that's the solution, that's the way. But you throw that word in there, that but word. I hate that, unless it's a, it's a whammy that I'm looking at. Right, I got lust too. But why are you saying well, I thought about doing this, but and there's the excuse the moment you insert, but the moment you insert. However, whatever you eloquent motherfuckers who, scared of doing shit, say that is the problem. You know, stop.
Speaker 1:After the first part, I want to start a pod, but I'm scared of what people think. They never actually call it what it is, but, like people, are scared of judgment. One of the number one fears in the world is public speaking. The other one is the fear of the unknown. Well, there's a lot of shit you don't know. The one thing you do know is guess what? You finna die at some point. They say death and taxes, fuck, taxes.
Speaker 1:We talking about death. That's the one thing you know is guaranteed, you're going to be six feet deep in a casket. I'm going to be in a tree pod planted somewhere that's my own way with whatever decomposes of my body Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, whatever as a tree. That's cool. I'm a palm tree in Oganow. Y'all are going to be typically most people in a casket in the ground at some point. Anytime you drive past a cemetery, look at that and then find some gratitude that you ain't in there, because you, most of y'all, know y'all y'all have dodged a lot of stuff. I'm sure I should have been dead about 50 million times easily, from not paying attention while I'm driving, while I was younger, to whatever almost getting hit by a dark bus, shout out to de stepping off the curb too quick and wind yeah, I should be. I should be dead. I'm grateful that I'm not. So while I'm here, I'm about to make my time um valuable because you could be dead. Think about that death. Speaking of death, health is wealth.
Speaker 2:Moving on to the next for sure segment, health is. Well, I'm gonna let you.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna let you take this one, because I feel like I've been rapping oh, man, but you cooking though yeah, but they don't want to hear me, bro, the listeners want to hear sweets. I'm gonna shut up now until you tag me. Go ahead, I'm tagging you in right now.
Speaker 2:All right, take your health as well, go wow, I think the first thing I'll say is don't be ignorant about yourself for too long.
Speaker 2:Don't ever think that nothing can't happen to you because God has a way of sitting you on your ass and humbling the shit out of you. So who are we to think that certain things can't happen to us? What about the folks that don't believe in God? Well, even, okay, even if you don't believe in God, still, who are you to think that, you know, certain things can't happen to you? I say this all to say is you know, take good care of yourselves, because you really never know what can happen. Because I used to walk around in ignorant bliss thinking, oh, it would never be me, couldn't be me, not me. Walk around in ignorant bliss thinking it would never be me, couldn't be me, not me, it won't happen to me. But you know, I said, you know, I got, I got humbled and boy oh boy, has it given me some perspective you know I tell people this and they never, never, listen.
Speaker 1:Hopefully one of you does. If you want to get a good glimpse of what life is about, go spend time with some homeless people or go spend time with the folks in hospice care, aka at the nursing home, who are offended. You can get. You can visit both of those places and get a whole lot of perspective. But I'm telling you right now, homeless people, get it. They know how to help each other. Get it. They know how to help each other, the old folks they will give you the gems.
Speaker 1:And 95.9 percent of what they talk about is what regret. It's the, it's the number one flavor, because they're all looking at wow, I'm about to die and I didn't go talk to that girl, or I didn't take that job opportunity, or I didn't travel as much as I wanted to and I'm about to die. Oh, I didn't go talk to that girl, or I didn't take that job opportunity, or I didn't travel as much as I wanted to and I'm about to die, or I didn't spend enough time with my family because I was working too much. You need to be working aggressively while you're younger so that you can have more time earlier to spend time with your family while you make like I don't know. What is it called passive income?
Speaker 1:figure that out and take care of yourself yeah, like, come on, bro, talk to the old heads. They'll tell you not the ones that's out here still doing the same stuff they was doing in 1977, I'm talking about the ones that got family and a bunch of grandkids and they got the house that everybody comes to for thanksgiving. Talk to them. They figured it out. They've been together for 60, 70 years, 80 years. Who knows? They've been together for 60, 70 years, 80 years, who knows what they've been through. But guess what? They're still locked in and everybody comes to their career for all of this stuff, whatever that stuff may be For my family spades, talking trash, good food, good music, anyways, old heads that are on their way out.
Speaker 1:Boy, do they have some gems. And if you use them ears and actually listen because a lot of y'all got them on y'all head for decoration, they just ornaments like a Christmas tree for real. But if you actually sit and listen and shut up, they got a lot of stuff to tell you and a lot of it is yo, if you want to do it, do it. Trust your gut. Your gut will never wrong you intuition. Yada, yada, yada. Have fun. Focus on family. This tangible stuff don't matter the cars, the clothes, the hoes, whatever, as long as the people in that house you have, if you have one and they love you, the world doesn't matter. That's all background noise.
Speaker 2:That's yada, yada, yada, rah, rah bs oh, I have another point for health as well. Um, advocate for yourself, advocate for your health especially I feel like women, especially a lot of times when you go into a doctor's office or a hospital and you know that you have a concern or something doesn't feel right. These doctors and nurses will try to downplay what you're talking about because they think they know better than you.
Speaker 1:You know what you just reminded me of. Turn it up, turn your volume up.
Speaker 2:They think they know better than you. But who knows your body better than yourself?
Speaker 1:Yeah, we ain't saying they ain't educated, but they probably go on WebMD and look up the stuff For sure. You've been experiencing it.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, absolutely. There's nothing more frustrating than knowing something's not right and you tell a doctor, only for them to downplay it, only for you to be right in the first place, and they never acknowledge that you were right and they never acknowledge that you were right, and that is crazy.
Speaker 2:I've seen it so many times. But I've seen it so so much more in women, even when, when women give birth, you know, a lot of times the doctors ain't, they're not listening to your birth plan. They're gonna do what's more convenient for them. They're gonna do what's what's what's better for them financially or better for them to say conveniently yeah, to hell with your birth plan yo, honestly, real quick tangent.
Speaker 1:That is very true. Um, we sat down and made our birthing preferences and we put on there no forceps. If y'all know what that is, google it. It's the tool that they use to pull the baby out. Crushes the skull if they use it the wrong way. We said that no, and then brother went to go grab them when I was in the room and I was like, ah, hey, hey, hey, birthing preferences. We printed that out. Do not use that. Oh yeah, that's right. No, no, no. Oh. So you weren't going to, you weren't going to check, you were just going to do it and thought that I wasn't going to say and imagine if you weren't there to say anything.
Speaker 1:My baby head would have been lumpity, lump. No, everything I love, all jokes aside, but he was going to use them forceps and I don't really I, but nah but it was the complete disregard for your requests so, yeah, that's the answer, what she was talking about.
Speaker 2:Advocate for yourself yeah, speak up if something don't feel right or if you want something to go a certain way, be adamant about it. Stand ten toes on what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1:we're gonna have to park this joint. We gotta stay true to the 30 to 32 minutes during how what we got left. You know what we can do? Another pod we got the two segments. We got too much for y'all. You know what? We got one, two, three, four more for y'all and if we feeling it, we might put our episode eight tonight too. That's crazy. We might. It might be some late night episode eight type. Oh, late night episode eight type. Oh, that's that's, that's crazy. But hold on, hold on, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it. We gave him enough to take away. We ain't gonna do the takeaway thing, but yeah, for all my 90s babies oh, you know what it is, yeah, I wish I had the bongos he was like you think they can hear it.

Speaker 1:Yeah, unsub, bro, you out of here, you out of here don't like that, and we can sing damn it. We gonna wrap this up. Listen, we talked about gratitude. We talked about taking care of yourself. We talked about spending time. That is solitude, not alone, not loneliness. Solitude look it up, it is intentional time by yourself we talked about fear what a pussy, oh man but it's normal because we all deal with it.
Speaker 1:But just don't let it run if you don't remember anything else from this pod, because the whole purpose was to get you to understand that fraction courage ha over fear, and that's it. That's it. We might give you our episode eight tonight, but I think this is enough. 32, 23 and counting. We love you. This is fat daddy checking out. I've been so passionate.
