You ain't got to know nothing. You're just throwing stuff out there, man. You're trying to figure it out like the rest of us. Don't worry about that, man. You just keep doing your thing. Don't be afraid. You mean a lot to a lot of people, man. you're making a big impact so the more courageous you can be the more people will follow that and that's what we need so thanks man thanks dude uh you know um you know i think

36:35yeah i don't know what i'm doing yeah yeah yeah thank you man yeah i don't know what i'm doing man i i know i'm trying but yeah i don't know what the fuck i'm doing

36:52yeah i'm just being i'm just just being a human i'm just trying my fucking best man you know most of the time anyway i don't know sometimes maybe i'm even not But yeah, I think I've just always felt so much pressure, man. I've always felt so much pressure to get it right. You better fucking get it right. You know?

37:17I've always felt like I wasn't,

37:23like I had to get it right.

37:28Or there was no value to me or to whatever. to whatever I was doing. It's like if it's not perfect,

37:39there was no value. And so I think that's still how I operate sometimes. Like I got to get everything perfectly.

37:50Yeah, and it's just impossible, man. And I'm tired of like, yeah.

37:57Thank you, man. Yeah, I just, I think I did need to hear something like that.

38:05you better get it right. That's what I would always kind of feel like to myself. You better get this right. That's the voice inside of me. It never had any patience. It never had any patience with me. The voice inside of me never had any patience with me.

38:31and then and you know what I don't have a lot of patience with myself either

38:39which is kind of both which

38:45I deserve to have some more patience with myself

39:27Yeah, I feel like I'm also never going to live up to the expectations that I've set for myself because I set unrealistic expectations.

39:38yeah and I think I set unrealistic expectations because

39:47because if I never meet them then I'll always be not good enough

40:00yeah yeah thanks for just making me think about questioning myself too, just asking questions. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it if I don't know. There's nothing wrong with me if I'm not perfect. There's nothing wrong with me, you know? It's okay.

40:27Yeah, I've just always put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. I've always put so much pressure on myself to be perfect

40:41Man yeah shit makes me angry when I even think about it Like you better fucking be perfect Or you don't mean anything You know that's It's some old story in my head or something I'm not saying that right now to myself I'm saying I'm trying to just feel that story You know You better

41:04yeah like if I can be perfect I'll show them that I mean something

41:11yeah if I can just do things perfectly

41:16they'll see that I have value you know I think

41:22and then you never can do things perfectly it's impossible right and so then you're just I'm always setting myself up to not feel good enough because I make my expectations of myself unrealistic. And so I can never achieve them. And so I'm always just not enough for myself, you know?

50:58And you got to say it, baby. Yes, say it. That's a part of this call I really adapted with right here. But I'm definitely in love with her. And I don't know, man. I just wanted to say that, man. And I'm thankful for you and your podcast. I just wanted to say that. That's the thing. I don't say things. I don't even speak my own damn joy sometimes. I don't even let myself hear my own joy. Yes. Say that. Say that, man. You got nine months. You found somebody you like. That's powerful, daddy. You hear that. You hear that, man. You hear that. man, I'm just, let me think about any other, man, today's episode has been just all over the place, guys.

52:00I've had to start and stop a bunch of times. It's just been a tough time for me to get like a good flow going. You know, I just feel kind of rattled and that's okay. I feel, you know, I don't know. It's okay. Everything's okay. It's okay. you know it's okay um it's been a fun year and and i'm excited to see what next year could be like and and i hope that this holiday season is something that you make nice for yourself you know i i I always realize that and always forget, too, that if I want the holidays or anything really to be special, I have to be a part of making it mean something. You know, I need to show up.

53:01I need to be activated and be a part of bringing the joy and not just expecting to take the joy or receive the joy. or I need to show up with something. It don't have to be an item or something. I mean, sometimes it can be, but if something's going to mean something, then it'll mean even more if I show up with the idea that I'm going to make this mean something. And that could be if you're going to take a ride with your child somewhere and do something nice with them or go shop, or if you're going to spend some time with your loved one and y 'all are going to go do something to just try and make a little extra effort to make it mean something.

53:58A lot of times in my life I've had opportunities to make things mean something and I'll choose to kind of just be a curmudgeon or be quiet or try not to have fun. Sometimes I get afraid to be a little bit more joyous.

54:23So I think that's something that I wish for this holiday season is that if you're like me sometimes when there's a chance to be, to joke or to have, sometimes I'll just get a, you know, I'll kind of shut down or I want to, you know, if somebody else asks me to do something, I won't want to do, you know, I only want to kind of do my ideas, you know, it's like, so I just hope that this holiday season, I'm going to try to be a little bit more like, Like if somebody else, you know, I'm going to just try to go with the flow

55:06and help the flow have a stronger current, you know, with my own attitude. That's really what I mean. I'm going to try that, you know, because it helps me too. It helps me when I get outside of myself a little bit, you know.

55:23Yeah, so I'm going to try that a little bit more this year. that's something that I'm going to look forward to do.

55:32Yeah. So instead of just continuing to ramble, I just, yeah, I want to try to show up a little bit more this Christmas and be a part of the joy a little bit more. And even if the game is on, do things that are engaging with people I care about. Take a walk with somebody or fucking tickle some little bitch. I don't care. do something that is, you know, I just want to try to contribute a little bit more this year if I can. That's one of my Christmas wishes for myself.

56:11Yeah. And that's it, dude. And that's really, really it, bro.

56:23Silverbell.

56:27silver bell it's Christmas time in the city

56:38yeah I don't know I got a bunch more things on my mind but I think I just I just I'm gonna I don't know I don't know I think I just I think I'm just gonna just sign off for the year man you know just sign off for the year we've done it's been it's been quite a year you know and just i'm glad we got to be alive this year together and um yeah yeah i really am um and that's all i got sorry to just keep dragging it i kind of it's kind of like the end of a date i feel like a little bit you don't know where you want it to you know like you're like just standing in the yard kind of talking but nobody kind of knows what's gonna happen or whatever um so that's a little bit how i feel but that's exciting because that's a little bit of energy that's like kind of fun you know and so that's a good way to close things out man um i want to let you know as always the hotline is 985-664-9503 um and yeah just thank you so much for being a part of my life and and uh for letting me be a part of your life um thank you to our producers uh zach and nick and ben and colin um for helping get this show done every year um every 52 times a year week, every week.
