Simple Pleasures and Generational Curses: Navigating Happiness and Legacy
Ever wondered how the simplest pleasures can elevate your happiness? We kick off from Brandon's cozy home in Riverside, California, sharing heartwarming responses from our Instagram followers. Family and kids topped the list, sparking a deep dive into the evolving dynamics of relationships, young love's purity, and the complexities that come with age. Let's also take a trip down memory lane with Danielle's insightful episode and our viral YouTube hit featuring Brian Foster.
Ever felt weighed down by patterns you can't seem to shake? We explore the concept of generational curses, discussing the impact these patterns have on our lives and the legacies we leave behind. From breaking cycles of poor financial decisions to striving for a lasting legacy, we share personal anecdotes and practical steps we're taking. The importance of documenting our lives in the digital age is emphasized, ensuring our stories inspire long into the future.
What's the secret to finding joy in everyday moments? We reflect on positive feedback from past guests and the therapeutic effects of activities like skateboarding and cannabis. Simple pleasures, from fresh socks to nostalgic movies, are celebrated, along with the science behind fleeting moments of joy. As we embrace life's duality, balancing positivity with vigilance, our children, Lennox and Luna, join us with their charming insights, adding a personal touch to our exploration of happiness.
Hello, hello, hello. This is Zach Bautista with B2C Podcast, and I'm here with my co-host as always, brandon May.
Speaker 2:Hey, what's going on? Everybody, Ah, how's everybody doing?
Speaker 1:We're in a new setup. Today we're filming from the casa.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, live from my house, riverside, california.
Speaker 1:We did a full test run with the kiddos helping me, so that was good and we got the show running. We're going to talk about some happiness, some things that make us happy today.
Speaker 2:Yeah, things that make us happy. I felt like a lot of the episodes were based off of traumatizing or negative swings of events. I just don't want that to be our main focus all the time, you know. So we were just interested in what everybody else's definition of happy is, given our definition of happiness and then just understanding it, you know definition of happiness and then just understanding it, you know.
Speaker 1:So I posed a question on our Instagram today yeah, what makes you happy? A lot of the ones, a lot of the key ones that kept popping up were were family, family, kids, not a lot of significant others. I noticed that we're feeling others. I noticed that we're feeling.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean.
Speaker 2:Your significant other is.
Speaker 1:I noticed. Actually, I didn't mean to go in that direction, yeah, but, I did notice that.
Speaker 2:Damn, that's a crazy direction.
Speaker 1:Sorry, but it is a direction I do this.
Speaker 2:Does your significant other, the adequate enough happiness, you know, is that something that's going away? I remember I felt like young love was more pure than this older love, so we could start there. You know, I talk to people all the time that are still single and stuff like that, and they say it's hard out there and it's pretty cruel and I don't know there's no like chivalry anymore or courting, you know, some sort of court Like I think that's why cowboys get so much play it's because they're gentlemen, which they're not really doing nothing, like you know.
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 2:They're just gentlemen still.
Speaker 1:But you're right, I think that goes Southern charm. Yeah, and I think we kind of we hit on that with Danielle on our last episode. She kind of wanted that.
Speaker 3:Southern charm.
Speaker 2:Or just that chivalrous, I don't think Danielle knows what she wants. Oh, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3:I think, it's.
Speaker 2:She's got to come to some acceptance of flaws in individuals first. You know, all respect to give people a little leeway. Yep, you know you can want what you want, but sometimes what you want ain't on the menu. That shit don't exist, right. Leprechachauns, unicorns, I agree, I agree, um, have you ever had a significant other that checked all the boxes?
Speaker 3:no, yeah, get the fuck out of here not all of them.
Speaker 2:I had a one's impossible.
Speaker 1:I did. I had a one that got away.
Speaker 2:Nah, I did. She still did some fucking foul shit. There was something.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, she's the one that broke up with me, so that was yeah. So there you go, I heard.
Speaker 2:Commitment issues. She was perfect, except had commitment issues with you or whatever the fuck. I will say there was nothing that she did that. There was nothing that she did that got on your nerves oh, and the time we didn't.
Speaker 1:We didn't date for a very prolonged period of time. It was probably off and on for a year and it was long, long distance too, but you're very particular. Yeah, I brought her home. We had family dinner. My folks loved her. It was one of those. She checked that block. That was a big block at the time. I mean yeah, she probably I don't know it was a little bit of that young love, I think. I think that's what we're talking about. How old were you? I was in my 20s.
Speaker 1:In your 20s, yeah, early 20s, 24. I was old. Yeah, I don't know if that shit counts.
Speaker 2:I don't know if that shit counts, yet? Yeah, you know 20. I was old. I was all ready to fall in love.
Speaker 1:I don't know if that shit counts, yet you know 20 legitimate relationships looking back, I made a lot of stupid ass decisions 25 yeah well legitimate ones but I think I learned a lot from my early, my early, early ones yeah, it's important.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of dudes that like don't date you know what I mean and then they get into relationships later in their life and they get fucked over because they're not seasoned. They get the game round on them. You know, I done seen some shit. I can't even say it. It's so cold and it's so personal to me. But I done seen some way worse than anything that I've ever received. What are you talking about? Like dudes getting played?
Speaker 3:What yeah?
Speaker 2:dudes getting played, come on, yeah. Dude's getting played, come on, yeah. Like people's truck drivers leaving and they just do wild stuff when they're gone. And I believe that that happens because he wasn't out there dating at a younger age and understanding that there's like there's a con side to you know what I mean, just like in any other situation, you know. But anyways, yeah, yeah, I don't even I don't tap dancing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, so kind of a consistent thing. If you haven't tapped into the Brian Foster episode yet, you should. It's getting a lot of hits. Our video on YouTube has 100 views when I checked this morning, so it's getting a lot of action, is it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, that's good, yeah.
Speaker 1:So if you, haven't checked it out. Check it out, that was Premium Motions, josh out. Check it out. Um, that was, uh, that was premium, uh, premium motions. Uh, josh, he hooked us up with that video.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, he did a good job yeah, he did do good, a good job. It does add another element when you're having the video and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:So so I definitely tapped into that and um, but happiness, we were talking about happiness, that episode, and I felt like we did it again in danielle's episode so this is like the, the trifecta. This is we're trying to, we're trying to round it all off, because you, when you brought it up to me earlier, I was was like, yeah, happiness, but what's? What's something?
Speaker 2:we can say about that. It shouldn't be such a mystery. Why is? Why is happiness such a question now? Why is it so hard to define? That's, that's the messed up part. I think that's why we have conversations, even about it now, because there's not a lot of it out there. And even when people have the things that should make an ordinary human being happy, they still find themselves in Negative mindset. You know, if you have kids, you could be super successful. You could be a professional athlete.
Speaker 1:And it doesn't mean that they're happy. Yeah, that's that old, that old moniker, that old saying.
Speaker 2:Right. So you know, is happiness a memory. All right, so you know, is happiness a memory? You know, is happiness just purely a dopamine dump, where happiness is like a mushroom trip? You know right.
Speaker 1:Like true, pure happiness. Yeah, yeah, it's something that's elevated Right. I could see that it's like a cerebral, cerebral, yeah, altered way of. That's elevated Right. I could see that A cerebral, cerebral, yeah, altered way of thinking, exactly yeah.
Speaker 2:So I don't know. Defining happiness is the start, but that is like art too, you know, and everybody is different, so everybody's happiness is different. But I struggle with this. Sometimes, you know, I have to find, or have to keep habits for happiness. You know what I mean, which I find odd. I feel like it should just be part of your day to day. But now we, as humans, have developed into these detail oriented, useless jobs and stuff that really don't need to be that don't exist.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. Like, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1:Like, but is that? Is that contentment? Is that happiness? Like just because someone's content is that, is that a form of happiness, or do you think the contentment is not?
Speaker 2:I don't think that that's happiness. Content and happy is two different things, you know, because what does it take for you to be fucking content, you know? Would you rather work less? You know what I mean. Would you rather have a different job? Yeah, you may be content, but is that where your happiness lies? Happiness, like? For me it's a little bit easier because kids bring you happiness, you know what I mean. Like just the original nature of a child, like not tainted by society or the internet or any of those things not programmed yet and having that, uh, original comedy. You know, when a kid tells a joke or he does something that he thinks is funny, like that, like that's happy, or somebody trips and it looks funny, whether they're hurt or not, you know what I mean. Like that, you know they got their little piece of happiness.
Speaker 1:I've experienced that with your own kids. Right, that shit cracks me up so hard. Right, that shit cracks me up so hard. The same thing you just said tell me a joke, or just crack it up over something crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you know, brian does the breathing and all of the meditation, johnny does the meditation, dave, you know. But they still struggle with happiness. You know, they're still in pursuit, like that was a man in pursuit. To me, I don't think that was a man who felt like he had achieved the things that he wanted to achieve within his life. I felt like he was still in pursuit of his, uh, true, eternal happiness. Do you? What the fuck is that?
Speaker 1:Oh, the dogs, insane, yeah.
Speaker 2:Roscoe hey, knock it off. My dog's playing around. I might even cut that out.
Speaker 1:I think that adds to the ambiance a little bit. Yeah, yeah, it shows people what's going on, so he's got beautiful dogs. Yeah, I got a tricolor ambiance a little bit. Yeah, yeah, it shows people what's going on. He's got, so he's got beautiful dogs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got a tricolor bully, a lilac bully and a husky like an inverted husky. She's got like a little mask, like raccoon frost, blue eyes. She's beautiful, she's shorter and her mane is not necessarily fluffy. It lays like a German Shepherd or a Malinois. She's a good dog. She's smart too.
Speaker 1:She's a gangster-looking dog. Yeah yeah, it's super cool she looks mean.
Speaker 2:She's kind of mean too.
Speaker 1:And I like that tangent, I like that and I'm going to keep it. I'm really going to keep it in.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I just want to show people this is our other side. If you haven't gathered by now, we're huge animal people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they used to think I hated dogs and stuff. Who did Everybody? That was always a thing. It used to bother me what.
Speaker 1:That's part of one of the reasons.
Speaker 2:I got dogs again too, because everybody thought I hated dogs and and I'll be like bro. But you've had dogs, I've had dogs. You've had dogs. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. No, it doesn't make any sense. Yeah, just I don't know. I've never been a fan of other people, dogs or an untrained dog like an untrained dog, like a drunk person oh yeah, I still remember mean dogs in my fucking memory. Dogs bring happiness, animals bring happiness.
Speaker 1:Again. That's why I went off on this tangent. I like animals, you know.
Speaker 2:Okay, let's go deeper, okay, fucking puppies. Oh, just a thing at a point in time. Babies Like just an infant baby, well, nah, that's not even the same as a puppy. A puppy is way like funner than a little baby infant. Oh yeah, A baby infant's like, oh what the fuck.
Speaker 3:No, puppies are crazy already yeah but puppies are like.
Speaker 2:They look cute. You know what I mean? They're wild already. Yeah, they're a little miniature. Everybody likes a miniature version of shit, you know. That's why they keep breeding these dogs to go smaller and smaller and smaller. Right, I saw a bully with full hair, right. If you see me talking about dogs, man, I'm getting happy.
Speaker 1:You're just cracking me up A French bulldog with full hair.
Speaker 2:He's like I got the only two in the United States.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because you're drunk as a fucking yeah. That dog looks messed up.
Speaker 1:Yeah you were doing something in your backyard, bro, right, but it makes him happy, he got a special ass mutt.
Speaker 2:He'll mutt a special, you know, yeah, but he'll make his money.
Speaker 1:You know, I like which I can't, which I can't, which I can't say because, yeah, my dog is super mud and I love how he looks.
Speaker 2:He looks, he looks. He don't look like a mutt, though yeah, he looks.
Speaker 1:Looks like a like a like a fancy boy.
Speaker 2:But yeah, sorry that's loud in your speakers, but the so back to yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, uh, baby chickens I remember, oh yeah, in elementary school, chickens all the time right growing up you put a little.
Speaker 2:Give a little kid, a baby chicken, and get a little duck. Yeah, you feel me? I'm telling you miniature stuff makes people happy. It's weird, except for diamonds. That's the only thing they don't want Miniature eyes, diamonds and gold.
Speaker 1:Jesus, that's a hard right.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's another thing. Diamonds and gold, Diamonds and gold. Oh, we got a. We got Incon coming up. I'm pretty excited about that.
Speaker 2:Yes, we'll be in Ontario. Yeah, the weekend of the 28th and 29th Friday, saturday, sunday We'll be over there. So you guys should pull up on me. I'll have a booth out there, I'll have prints out there, I'll have some T-shirts, zach will be out there signing autographs and taking pictures with his fans. So definitely pull up. You know, if you guys have any questions and or anything like that, if you guys want to work with us, shoot us an email. We're not hard to find One of the. We been interviewing a shit ton of people and stuff like that and that's cool. But you know we wanted to come back and you know, mix it up with some of our dryness and shit as well. You feel me?
Speaker 1:Yes, Right, get you to know our layers, right yeah.
Speaker 2:Right, we're like sandpaper. You feel me Rubbed together?
Speaker 1:Two different grades, grades, I will say. Speaking of that reaching out, we did get some feedback oh yeah, lamar O'Neal and he asked a kind of cool question. I don't know how tied into happiness it is, but I think we can cover it. I think that's a cool little tangent to go off do you believe in the concept of generational curses?
Speaker 2:If so, what have you both done to combat detrimental patterns that you've seen in your families? Let me see that one more time. Yeah, do you believe in the concept? Yeah, generational curses, generational curses, um, yeah, yeah, it's called the hood.
Speaker 2:you feel me like once poor, always poor yeah, I do um, that's very, because if you don't have generational wealth, okay, you know, when you put curse on there, it makes me think of something when somebody's waving some sage or some shit like that. But Generational Curses I feel like could be you know, bad financial movement. Your mama was a hoe, your daddy was a player and your son's a player and everybody's a player. What's that? What you looking at?
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to think yeah, yeah, no, the daddy was a player.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I'm just saying, I was like that was good. Well, these are things that I feel like would be detrimental in generational ways. Or, if you're an illegal immigrant, yeah, um status upon that like could affect that's a generational curse, like because if somebody don't fucking have a baby, or balance that curse out like, that's a rough one too, like yeah if you're talking about yeah, you're walking a line right, right Generational curses.
Speaker 1:I will say this I'm trying I mean not to, not to, not to bash him. I'm trying to do things differently If I, if I do. I never thought about running a business until I started talking to you.
Speaker 2:I think he wants us to equate it to ours too, because he's asking us what we would do. Yeah, to so take that question question and apply it to your family, yeah, and I will do the same. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, and then go ahead. Go. So if there's a generational curse within your family, what is it?
Speaker 1:I guess I guess the stigma of of uh, failed businesses, uh, cause, cause there is there's kind of like a it's been the past couple generations it's been good businesses but not great businesses, mm, mm, and I understand like so, and this, this kind of this, is a crazy question, cause I think that goes into what we've talked about before.
Speaker 1:Legacy type stuff, your name, your namesake, once we start I guess, once men start getting to a certain age, they start thinking about that. What is my legacy going to be? My children, this, that, what do I leave to my children? So, so, keep, keep in mind, uh, any uh uh partners that are listening to this. If you're, if your guy starts acting a little crazy, uh for uh, turn forties, fifties, this, this is. I think this is when they say the midlife crisis, I think this is part of it, right, is your, is your kind of building that? This is part of it, right? Is you're kind of building that making sure you have that legacy?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so I don't want I guess I don't want that legacy to be one of just good, not great. How do you so? What patterns are you applying to make sure that that pattern, or generational curse, is broken? I've just started that right now. So you're, that's the best of this. That's brand new to me. Uh, because, like we've talked before, I wasn't even thinking about that. I was thinking, hey, I'm going balls of the wall every time I go out like I'm ready, like, I'm ready to I, I I wrote a will at at 19, so like, and I've updated it four times since then, so I'm very fully prepared of. But just now, recently, in past year, uh, my outlook has been changing little by little. Yeah, so that legacy is starting to click. Maybe it's just because I turned 36 too, maybe that's what it was. It took me over that, that 35 year.
Speaker 2:Well, you say you're doing it now. What is it that you're doing now? That was different before.
Speaker 1:That shows that you're taking the shot, focusing on a serious career focusing on serious business opportunities, just being open to anything. Uh, this, just this, this venture alone has opened up a lot of opportunity for both of us. I feel, um, yeah, so that I think that's, that's building a legacy to leave behind in my opinion. I think it's super cool that we're leaving something on on the web or the airwaves or the RSS feed, so this is kind of like our little imprint a book in the library for real.
Speaker 2:That's how I kind of view it too. It's something that can be pulled up upon years from now and it might be somewhat beneficial to somebody. That's kind of cool. My kids can see it. When I was 40. You know.
Speaker 1:I've been sick the past few days and uh, so I had a lot of time just to think and yeah, that was something I was thinking about was this is a cool little.
Speaker 1:so if I don't, know, if, now that we're in this age of technology, like, record yourself as much as possible, show yourself doing cool shit like fucking, videotape it. You know what I mean. Tape it on the get, get pictures of it, right? I miss not doing that at certain times in my life, like being like, oh, I don't need to take my fucking phone out, but you're also kind of immersed in it that way. Yeah, certain opportunity like I wish they're imprinted in my mind, as I'm sure you have too that I I see vividly. That was super cool, but I don't have a picture of that.
Speaker 2:I mean one day all you will have is a picture yeah and Not to jump from sound to video, but yeah, yeah. Generational curses. So yeah, that's a good answer.
Speaker 1:Do you know how about you? Sorry, that was a long winded answer for me.
Speaker 2:Generational Generational curses.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't say I mean from what I know of your.
Speaker 2:I mean that's kind of my pop's pretty solid yeah yeah, so he was.
Speaker 1:He was a good role model.
Speaker 2:He spends a lot, right, he spends a lot. You know, that was one thing. You know. He spends a lot, right, he spends a lot. You know, that was one thing, you know growing up having a little bit. You know, we never really had to go without.
Speaker 2:So that was one thing that I had to kind of learn was to struggle a little bit or to not enable myself which I guess that's a hard one too To struggle a little bit or to not enable myself which no-transcript it, it's different. So, yeah, I had to cut that off. I had to cut that off Generational curses and then just making sure that I don't spoil my kids. You know what I mean, I see, I see.
Speaker 1:I see you do that a lot and I really I like that. I like how you humble them from time to time. Yeah, you give them those deep talks. Right, and I I like how you humble them from time to time. Yeah, you give them those deep talks. Right and the first time I saw it I was like shit. I'm like, this is deep as shit.
Speaker 3:Like you, take them aside and you have a good talk.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we talk, and I really admire you for that, how real you talk to them, no matter what age they are, and yeah. So the first time I saw it I was I was like, oh shit, okay, is this something?
Speaker 2:and then now it's just a normal thing and I really like, I really like it when you do that. Yeah, as far as kids people limit their communication level to their kids, I don't think that's that's right, because you're limiting yourself, but anyway, anyway that's not it.
Speaker 1:What's that? I don't know if you wanted to touch on that at all too, or we got to talk to him first.
Speaker 2:My experience is tattooing is hella interesting as someone who respects African-.
Speaker 1:And I guess, maybe this is the downplay of not scripting our stuff sometimes, and I might cut some of this out, but this is kind of cool the downplay of of not scripting our stuff sometimes. Um, and I might cut some of this out, but this is this is this is kind of cool, but we're getting feedback and some of it's coming in as we're doing this episode, um, so I'm trying to address it as as it comes in. Um, did you, did you want to go over that at all? This is, this is feedback from our last episode with Danielle McKnight. If you haven't tapped into that, tap into that one.
Speaker 2:That one's a really cool one. So he's saying that black Americans have culture and heritage and I don't disagree that. But what the fuck do you paint that makes it? You invoke this beautiful thing and like and again, this may be off topic because, this is.
Speaker 1:This is directly related to the Danielle McKnight episode, but this is like my shameless plug.
Speaker 2:Listen to that one and then this little piece will make sense yeah, um, I think he's just saying that it needs to be spotlighted. You know, he said within his art, that's something that he kind of steered away from African or American, african Okay.
Speaker 2:He has respect for his African roots. I've actively attempted not to make that my go to in my art Right and same with me too because, like when I started doing tattooing and stuff, like they were like, oh, you should do black art, and now there's this big gaping hole, uh, uh, in a timeline, I feel like, of art that kind of needs to be developed for the culture and created, and that's why I ask those questions and stir that up. So I I'm interested in Lamar and hearing what it is specifically that you feel is black American heritage and a painting and a piece of art. You know what I mean Not in words, cause I know you can describe some shit, but I'm interested in a visual aspect of what you feel black American heritage looks like in a point where, to the point where you would get a tattoo, to the point where it can be worn by multicultural people you know what I mean Like Asian.
Speaker 2:You know people will get a cholo. Fucking white people will get a fucking Japanese Japanese. You know people will get a cholo. Fucking white people will get a fucking Japanese Japanese, you know.
Speaker 1:So, so something that's I guess timeless enough to go throughout.
Speaker 2:So but, lamar, we're going to have you on and we'll you know I'm going to tag this.
Speaker 1:We had talked about it.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. And he said he would.
Speaker 1:And you know, just I, just I just wanted to bring it up, cause I feel I feel like we owe it to you guys and he's he's a fan since since day one, like like a lot of you guys. So I mean this this is what happens. If you send us a DM or anything, we're going to answer it, yeah, so, so go ahead and and feel free to do that, and I'll always ask if you guys want to be called out by name or if you want to stay anonymous or not.
Speaker 2:Daniel, it was a cool episode.
Speaker 1:We're going to start a, so I'm going to drop it here and then I'm going to start teasing it on social media. I think we should do before the season ends. I think we should do a telephone call.
Speaker 2:yeah, man we definitely trying to yes, okay, yeah, so I'm gonna tease it right now yeah, you guys gotta fuck with us man. So we want to do like a straight hotline style show. So, um, we're gonna pick a theme, you know, and we're gonna need you guys to chime in with the question straight up, like old school love line style, you know, like Dr, dr Drew, adam Corolla type. You know we're not trying to be them or anything like that but um, we like that, uh, platform.
Speaker 1:Yeah, even I mean a big boy in the morning, or um. So this is for, for, uh uh, Southern California IE people. Um, yeah, big boy, um, that that one cat, uh, kiss Ryan. Ryan Seacrest flowers. He'd always be sending flowers to the, to the other girl, like he'd call up the dude. If so, if you think, oh yes, maybe we shouldn't do something crazy like that, if you thought your significant other was cheating, you'd call up Ryan. Ryan would say, hey, you want a free bouquet of flowers? Who you want to send them to?
Speaker 2:Oh, I heard that in the morning Like and. I listened to that sometimes with my kids and I'll be turning it off, bro, like I don't want to hear that stuff. What am I? I think that's grimy how they doing that man Like and yeah, you know you're like it's not right to cheat and stuff like that, but I just feel like that's messy.
Speaker 3:I thought that was nuts.
Speaker 2:It reminds me of that show Cheaters and shit, that was nuts. Like what do you?
Speaker 1:expect is going to happen.
Speaker 2:on that Right, and then they send it to like their little mistress. And then the girl pops up on the phone like, oh, who is so-and-so yeah.
Speaker 1:Trapping people.
Speaker 2:That's not okay.
Speaker 1:I know we went off on several tangents, but we're having fun. I hope you're having fun talking with us too, yeah.
Speaker 2:A lot of people, a lot of our interviewers, have said some deep stuff about happiness and it's cool that you know, when we came up with the title Health, wellness, art, culture, it was kind of cool to watch it develop in that fashion, because we have been controlling the narrative but everything has been unscripted, so everything that you guys have heard is just one shot. No, you know. No, take two, none of that. No, um, just straight through every single time and it's actually been really, really, uh, fun and organic. You know, one of the things me and zach have really appreciate, appreciate about the show, now that we've had a few episodes in, is that we haven't made it yet and everybody wants to be blue collar like all the shows. Oh, yeah, we're blue collar, but we're really that right now because we ain't really done nothing we feel cool in our own minds.
Speaker 1:We're like man, we got this fucking podcast going we haven't been deflated so it's been really, really fun.
Speaker 3:man like man, we got this fucking podcast going Right, right, right. We haven't been to play yet or anything like that.
Speaker 2:So it's been really really fun man.

Waterworld. Yeah, remember that. Oh, I love that. Yeah, what's that dude's name? What is his name? Kevin Costner, kevin Costner, yeah, kevin Costner. Damn, that was the same time. Nice, kevin Costner.
Speaker 1:The bodyguard?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's crazy. They had him in Whitney Houston. He's like a Yellowstone and a cowboy and all that shit. Now yeah.
Speaker 1:He's like a Yellowstone and a cowboy and all that shit. Now, yeah, you just, I don't know just one of those dudes that could do anything, huh Music.
Speaker 2:Music makes me happy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, music makes me very happy.
Speaker 2:Music makes me happy. Yeah, what else New shit? New pair of shoes oh fresh. A new pair of socks what yeah?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think there's anything like a fresh pair.
Speaker 2:White tee. Yeah man, some fresh Vans. They're like perfect, you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, damn, that shit makes me happy. What else makes me happy? What else makes me happy? A scent, something that smells really good. You feel me like a, a woman that's just like wow, like okay, like she. She looks fine and then she walk by and then she smells like, ooh, shit knocks you out, that's food. Yeah, yep, you ever seen that movie, love Potion Number 9? Yeah, she's like, ooh, shit Knocks you out, that's food. Yeah, yep, you ever seen that movie, love Potion no 9?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was a good one. You know what else like is that other. What else is a good movie is? I think it's got Death Becomes Her.
Speaker 1:Death Becomes Her.
Speaker 2:Where they take the serum. And she don't, she, she doesn't die.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's older one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:She keeps getting put back together.
Speaker 1:I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:Those are really good movies yeah, those I, yeah I used to watch those back in the day. What else makes me a good? Good movies used to make me happy back in the day. I remember watching Independence Day the first time or Titanic or Forrest Gump the first time, but they don't hit like that anymore. I don't know if it's because I'm older. What else makes me happy? People get happy from working out and shit. I don't necessarily get happy. I feel accomplished.
Speaker 1:I'm like, man, happy is not what I'm feeling. Yeah, it's more of a discipline thing, huh, well, maybe, and maybe it's the way. Yeah, no, I don't know. Are you supposed to be happy after you work out?
Speaker 2:you know, because I've always you get what I'm saying, I'm glad you brought this up because that that's.
Speaker 1:That's something I've toyed with a lot in my mind. Um, and so I was a personal trainer at one time, long, long time ago. Um, I've had been studying. I just got the book um to do the uh, the NAFTA, uh, whatever, uh, north North American, whatever certification it is a popular one.
Speaker 1:I just bought the book to do some, some updated research. Maybe I can help myself with my own personal personal training, my own maintenance. And, yeah, you got to find your, your happiness in working out and I think I think that's what Brian found in in what he does, his daily, his routine. He's always fighting, still, he's still, he's still grappling but, that's a form of working out.
Speaker 2:I mean that's were you happier in the military? Yes, why? I mean that's where you happier in the military. Yes, why?
Speaker 1:Um, and I kind of know why the camaraderie, the brotherhood they, they take, brother, they take the thinking out of it, just enough. So it's, it's all muscle memory. So they, so it is. It is a muscle memory thing Like you train, train, train, train, train until everything is. You do everything perfect, and then even even that alone is is a sense of happiness, is a sense of accomplishment. Uh, you know how to do a task really really well. Um, you know how to do a task really really well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And sometimes just getting the orders, you know just being told what to do, just go and do this and then you bitch and complain about it, but you still go get it done and there's that feeling of accomplishment. You're always getting that feeling, that dopamine, that fucking adrenaline rush. Even in training you get that adrenaline rush. So what's there not to love? So I will say I don't. If anyone is thinking about joining the military, I'm not like all for it. I'm like, oh yeah, go join the fuck. Really, pick and choose what you want to do. There's a bunch of branches out there, bunch of fucking branches, and pick the one that's right for you. There's a bunch of different decisions.
Speaker 2:I loved it yeah, I remember, you know, being part of teams and going to the tracks and racing and, uh, there's a lot of camaraderie, sometimes in tattoo shops. You know what I mean if they're at jail and that there are highs in those moments.
Speaker 1:And that can make all the difference. Huh, it doesn't even feel like work anymore, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, happiness is an elusive thing, yeah. You could start off the day happy, and then you know something happens and then it kind of pulls away from it. You know it starts off pure and then it kind of fades away from it.
Speaker 1:You know it starts off pure and then it kind of fades, you know, and then you try to control it right, try to control that happiness maybe like a scent, maybe if I do something, maybe that's the maybe if I go treat myself like.
Speaker 2:That's crazy. I wonder if that like is equated to the dopamine fading away. Like you, losing your happiness is not necessarily the moment getting any worse, it's just the dopamine going away or whatever. You know, or wonder what that. Who could answer that question?
Speaker 1:Well, I like how he went scientific with it, we do we need a doctor on the show. Yeah, if you know, if anybody knows, if any doctors I know a doctor, doctors or therapists. Um, I have some therapists in mind too, and we'd like to get on the show and interview I don't, I don't know how that's like conflict of interest of their jobs or or not, if they're not.
Speaker 1:So what I've understood is as long as they're not yours, yeah, so I would never ask my therapist to be on the show, right, because that is conflict of interest. But, yes, a totally different therapist, yeah.
Speaker 2:Happiness. If you were like fucking sad right now, what the fuck are you going to do to go get happy? Your fucking chick left you your fucking yeah who and what do you?
Speaker 1:do and I will say how do you?
Speaker 3:get over a chick.
Speaker 2:How do you get over a breakup and find?
Speaker 1:happiness. Are you talking about in the past or are you talking about right now? Like right now, what would I do? I do, or right now, what have I done?
Speaker 2:you want to know, you want to know.
Speaker 1:I did after the last one what just buried myself in whatever work I was doing. So it wasn't a happiness thing, it was must push forward type of thing. Um, I'm gonna. I'm gonna keep punishing myself. But the little, the glimpse of happiness came from my dog. That was like the glimpse of training him. Do you create your own happiness?
Speaker 2:In that situation. I almost had to In every situation.
Speaker 1:Well, you got to think. I believe there is a sense of the type of happiness the universe sends your way, of the type of happiness the universe sends your way, uh, or whatever spiritual, uh your god buddha sends your way. Um, as grad, you know the yin yang, whatever spins back your way. So, dude is, are those cool things? Those are out of your control? Like, let's say, you find fucking $20 on the floor.
Speaker 3:Does that make you happy?
Speaker 1:You're like oh man cool, I'm gonna go buy a burger or something. Yeah, Like, and that's something the universe sent your way.
Speaker 2:I'm like that's cool, right. I don't know if that's like or is it Sorry?
Speaker 1:I just wanted to send. That's cool, I want, I, I want, I wanted to send that.
Speaker 2:you know, that's not thought your way, my, my happiness doesn't, it wouldn't be influenced by 20, not by luck either. I mean shit, 20 is only going to give me a few guys, a few gallons, that shit gone.
Speaker 1:Well, maybe, okay, Maybe I didn't use a proper analogy in today's because I was thinking kind of happiness a hundred dollars, you know, yeah, like that's cool. Or like or you, you scratch a scratch.
Speaker 2:I'm talking about bliss Cause, like when's the last time you cried, happy, happy, cried as a man, like damn, I'm so happy right now I gotta cry.
Speaker 1:Oh, when I I I know right off the bat when my record expunged not too long ago, I cried it was a pop up court. I cried right in front of the judge.
Speaker 2:Damn, I'm not afraid to admit that last time I cried shit, I don't fucking cry, I know and that was a few months ago.
Speaker 1:I don't know fucking cry. I know, and that was a few months ago. No, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know the next time I will, but yeah, I'm on a good run. Oh yeah, I'm on a good run right now as far as like happiness and mentality. I stopped worrying about a lot of shit too, and that makes me happy, happier.
Speaker 1:I hope he's OK with us talking about this, but I will say this I I think we touched on something I I have teared up in some of our interviews. Oh yeah, Um everybody has when. Brian was talking about Tobias.
Speaker 2:Yeah.

Um, you can get there from it's on Elizabeth Street or Brian's Old Blue Ink, but you can just Google Tobias Black Book and that's what I was like. Oh, I wanted to buy it real fast. So, yeah, it pops right up. It's got super cool stuff and I can't wait to get my hands on it. It's fucking dope. Yeah, it looks super cool.
Speaker 2:And not a lot of people know about it. I hope it's okay, if you guys like hot shit that is hot before anybody else knows it. That's one of those things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because it's just good. I mean that story behind it too was super cool.
Speaker 2:It's not a book, I mean it has the ability to be all over the world.
Speaker 1:no-transcript maybe it will yeah I mean it's such a good book like.
Speaker 2:There's so many individual great stories and just interactions. You know, uh many writes in a very questioned, stoic, mysterious way as well, often interpreting his feelings within the uh, the interaction and how he views the individual, equating to animals and his environment, equating to forest sometimes in urban environments.
Speaker 2:It's cool. Yeah, the Black Book is cool. There's a lot of good reads. It's like man. I'm getting this book from a company called herd studios and it's from a company that my brother works with in jail and it's a diary for from prisoners. Oh yeah, yeah, like.

Speaker 1:Oh man, You're throwing some fancy ones at me. Oh my gosh, yeah good paella, it's bomb.
Speaker 2:Are you kidding? Yeah girl, on some seafood. Seafood's making me happy. Some like fruit of the marri, like Italian dishes with the seafood.
Speaker 1:I just had some good marlin tacos last week.
Speaker 2:See yeah, my son just turned 15. That's crazy. Grown ass, man. Crazy. That's happiness. It's different. It's different now.
Speaker 1:We were talking about some come of life. And I feel like that itself is fucking cool. I was talking about it and then I was bringing it up to get you guys thinking about Because I'm sure a lot of you have kids out there and yeah, the coming of age thing, or remember when you were coming of age. Yeah, he's wanting the, but he's 15. He's rebelling. Like what age did you rebel Really? If, if, if, if. I'm asking you cause we didn't talk about this. I never really rebelled Um.
Speaker 2:you didn't rebel.
Speaker 1:Nah, I thought I rebelled hard, you know, like two or three times.
Speaker 2:I hard. You know like two or three times. I didn't have enough attention on me to rebel. Okay, you have to have attention to to get considered rebellious. My brother was doing shit way worse than I, so whatever I was doing that was negative was like a positive you could, you could almost see a shadow? Yeah it overshadowed everything, like I wasn't the one and I wasn't the one that should have been watched, you know.
Speaker 1:So I was I, I, I was that for my family.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2:I've always been like, yeah, I've always been a little bit of a knucklehead, like, but I've always been chill man, I ain't. I'm very wise to not going to jail or like as soon as I have a problem, like like I look at laws and legals and get right and like I don't always make sure that I got me. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:You move right, I have noticed it, I mean since I've known you for seven, eight years like you've always had too many chances yeah, you know like yeah, you calculated.
Speaker 2:Yes, I was just about to say that calculated. Yeah, you know, I take a lot of shots, I try. You know, like people say, oh, I'm an entrepreneur, like then they don't ever start, no shit, you just somebody without a job who enjoys their hobby or some shit, but like, like, put some skin in it. You know what I mean. Like, yeah, I've tried, I've tried, and you know that shit is humbling, you know, um, and I'm, I will. That's something about me is I will always continue to create on avenues and forefronts that I feel like will be positive you know, this is positive.
Speaker 2:You know, as soon as it becomes negative or you know, to my world or psyche, then I'll stop, you know. But it's all positive. You know it's going to be hard for it to become negative because we control the narrative Correct? Yeah, you know. Happiness guys. I hope you guys are out there happy. You know the economy is at a fucked up time. Everybody's struggling to pay rent and to get by, to find places to live. There's a lot of people living at home, but none of that stuff really matters, man, you know, if you guys are healthy and you're happy with yourselves, then you're good. You know there's always going to be another bill. So don't trip about that bill. There's always going to be another one. There's always going to be another tax.
Speaker 2:That's one thing that I'm focusing on is happiness and a little bit of independent freedom outside of this state government sanctity. You know, I know everybody talks about getting a little plot of land and putting their compound on there and all that stuff, and it sounds crazy, but really it's nice. The idea of it is really really nice and it's a modern way of thinking with the old fashion value. You know, we're just going back to the old days, and I feel like that will create happiness. You know, the sense of community is at all--time low too. People don't go out, they don't date. You know you don't get to go embarrass yourself in front of a chick no more.
Speaker 3:You can swipe right, swipe left, and you know you're guaranteed a date.
Speaker 2:But you never. You don't really get to shoot from the hip anymore. So like people are a little bit softer and you know, it's just everything. You know you can even get food to your house Now, you don't even got to move. As well as women, you know you could date from your home. It's, it's all a little bit too easy. It's all a little bit too easy. That's why I feel like the sense of community is gone.
Speaker 1:You know, and that and that happiness is escaping us in that way. Yeah, I could see that.
Speaker 2:Because that community does provide that sense of happiness, that sense of you. Could ask probably 100 men now from the age of 18 to 25, if they were going to go pick up a woman or start dating, I bet you 80% of them would say they would just download an app. That's crazy, you know. But then talk about they got Riz or Charisma or some shit like that. Like, how Are you talking through a phone? You know Everybody's good on a keyboard. You should be at least Right. I ain't even got to type shit, you just talk to the motherfucker. It's so easy, it's so easy. I remember back in the day having to write letters and misspelling words and shit and the chick being like I can't read it, like fuck.
Speaker 1:That was the best pickup line yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, there's a lot of good shit in there. You know what I mean, but those days are over Humility and we're dealing with a different type of human being. Trump got convicted today. That's a big thing that we should probably mention. Yeah, he got convicted on 34 counts of fucking business fraud. He messed up. He didn't mess up, but you know, he just got caught and he's been doing that type of shit, obviously. What did he really do, though? What's the big fuss? He didn't pay her.
Speaker 1:Well, essentially you lied in that last trial it's fraud yeah, but that's it's being proven in court that you lied, yeah, so that's that's what it is.
Speaker 2:I mean, yeah, what he does with the prostitute is nobody's business. His money transactions with the prostitute is nobody's business. His money transactions with the fucking woman of the night. You fucking kidding me. That's my political, fucking stance on that.
Speaker 3:It's so fucking stupid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you ready for a roundup? Yeah, let's round it up. I got I got a cool one from mark twain. He said there are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one keep telling their happiness to the unhappy. I think that means I don't gloat, that's that's, that's a form of hap. That's what it means to me. I don't don't rub your happiness into the unhappy space.
Speaker 2:I've grown to expect negative shit after extreme highs.
Speaker 1:Okay, and what do you? I mean, that's an excellent topic. What do you believe that is? Do you believe that's the universe, do you?
Speaker 2:believe that's Fucking A man. Duality, the balance of Of good and evil, yeah, like Of positive and negative yeah, it's all this shit we've created Is it karma?
Speaker 1:Is it no, it's the Sins. It's the fake shit we've created. Is it karma? Is it no, it's the sins.
Speaker 2:It's the fake world, of these things that we assume matter, that don't necessarily matter.
Speaker 1:And in doing so, are you setting yourself up for failure at all, or are you just preparing yourself for the inevitable as far as, as far as you think, after a high there's going to be a low, so are you preparing yourself for that? Kind of or or are you, are you people think, and then people say oh well, that's, you know, bringing in a negative fucking light and yeah.
Speaker 2:But I also try and be like positive all the time, but then I feel like man, like be, you're positive, but, motherfucker, you better be paying attention still too, you know, yeah, that's just that that balance is crazy, man yeah, that balance is crazy come on in.
Speaker 1:But yeah, we're good. Yeah, so I um definitely follow the page. If you're not following um, it's at b to z Podcast. Any other shout outs? We already said InCon. We're going to be at InCon. Yep, yeah, any last minute shout outs to the subscribers.
