much pre-workout it probably would have bust my heart by the grace of God I'm still here until I started just celebrating my success in small increments and not comparing myself to the people that I see on Instagram with the perfect batteries and [ __ ] now my body that [ __ ] perfect early on was that for you when you say the the Adderall working out was that for you or was that for image image because I wanted to be the best of the best I wanted to beat it and it's like no since I've
been on the mushrooms not the Psychedelic mushrooms but like the lion's mane narishi The Carter sips the turkey tail like it's like the mushroom blend pre-workouts and stuff like that before I go work out it gives me a better cognitive function it's like beet juice and the saffron give you that mental focus that you be looking for it gives you all of them things and I just I just I'm thankful that I caught myself because I was headed for Destruction were you depressed [ __ ] right yeah some some that's a cry for help when
you see somebody going to the gym three four times a day some not right with him because something wasn't right with me and that's me and we'll go to the gym and just kill ourselves and hurt ourselves in the gym to keep from hurting somebody else there's a lot of men that suffering silence they come up to me they hug me in the gym they cry right there when they see me when you say suffering silence do you know how powerful that is we do it's a lot of us that suffer in silence like we

y'all gonna grow apart and then y'all gonna grow into y'allselves and then they reunite now oh it might just go left and right but guess what it ain't a negative thing we experienced a beautiful thing together and now we we the journey Must Go On and my thing and the reason why I did ask that Kevin is because like my wife I consider my wife my best friend [ __ ] you win it yeah and I and and I'm talking about man like I could be vulnerable you don't understand in front of my wife yeah
I cried three four times a day yeah I just cry and it's I don't know why I'll be releasing I'll be releasing sometimes I just cry and they got this book I had to cry like a man oh yeah that's Jason Wilson yes Jason Wilson and he he a Sensei me and him used to be talking to my DMs and I had read a couple of inserts from the book and it was so powerful to me because I'm like I'm the type of person I'm a nerd I had like three four books and I just
two three chapters two three chapters but how to cry like a man hey vulnerability is the most beautiful thing it is on Earth I got that because he a real like karate Sensei Master he will [ __ ] you up yeah but he will also crying and you see the way he is with his kid the kids in his in his classes and he's teaching them how to beat men yeah man and and how to be emotional at the same time is emotional intelligence yeah I mean like high Navigators I asked myself why am I
feeling like this where does this where does this emotion this me being triggered like this emotionally what does this stem from so it always takes me going back was it of a time in my life where my mama or somebody in the family made me feel like I wasn't seen uh made me feel like I wasn't good enough or made me feel like I wasn't worthy and could it be that that's triggering this I I talked to myself because once I talk to myself I'd be like my engagement I don't call that [ __ ]
back man man you getting the same results every time man [ __ ] that hold my weed they were no chasing we all replace it sometimes you gotta talk to yourself amen you got to get in tune with yourself off [ __ ] hey bro there's a book called hey no no but let me tell you man the same thing man how you say you talk to yourself right or where did that come from when I went and did some work man they got these things called patterns and and everything that I did for this
uh nine days bro was patterns figuring out why I'm an enabler you know what I'm saying I ain't able you know I got you I got you I take care of that trying to make your problems disappear you need this I I got you I'm I'm in the neighbor also man the pattern we all got patterns yeah you're a giver yeah man but guess what talk to me takers always recognize Guilford Boom the hardest thing for me to do was to set boundaries and say no and and this is the year that I've been putting
the energy back into myself for the first time in my life hey bro I've been really putting energy into me like I take salt baths at night like I do the things that it take for me to heal I ain't talking about going to get a pedicure manicure that's just maintenance I'm talking about really soul-searching with yourself getting with yourself sitting along with yourself and working through them psychological traumas emotional traumas that type of [ __ ] so you don't be triggered when you somewhere amen because everybody faking living up facade everybody suffering on the
inside did you and you you know exactly what I was saying bro did you have a problem with saying no what and where did that come from because not feeling like I was good enough it stemmed from that and then it also you identify with not having when you really come from nothing you identify with not having so you see yourself when you were struggling in somebody else and so because you see yourself from when you were struggling with somebody else you uh you easing your inner child you you you you easing the pain of
your inner child through helping others which is a beautiful thing spot it is I got people that are takers yeah and they recognize givers they'll come tell you Von they come play vulnerable they play they do all that but when you fasting I haven't eaten in the last like four days so you can't go four hours without eating you can really eat my dick [ __ ] you and in my mind but when you just I'ma know if you my real friend when I tell you I'm not gonna be able to do it cause you
a [ __ ] ass [ __ ] once you tell a [ __ ] no once you tell a [ __ ] no man yeah load on writing dirty [ __ ] 99 yeses the 100th is a no man FM he changed he's this he's that oh 100 bro Story of My Life yeah man yeah you you I got mountains hey I got mountains in my backyard when I go look it's beautiful I can see my old spot from my new spot I'm blessed mm-hmm guess who lived there just me uh oh excuse me really
so where is where where did the little ones live at where the kids live at they on the reservation talk to me I got a reservation in Mississippi a farm we got camels we got all that we grow our own food all that so all the Clutter is not even in their lives like and they so Advanced now since they've been there and we just went like two months before cover here we didn't know that we was they was like we ain't leaving we're going to stay here [ __ ] that's my answer we're gonna
stay here but spiritually I was called back to California for something I don't know for what this part of it I'm like what the [ __ ] I'm gonna move back to California for it's just something told me to go then once I got the house I was like man I don't wanna go but it was there's something for me to do here it's some work that I have to do here that's going to help a lot of people I don't know what it is but you know the universe says [ __ ] I'm doing
it now somebody gonna see this and be like it's gonna it's gonna trigger something and they gonna just I'll talk to people and sometimes do you ever feel like you're talking to people but you're talking to yourself and what what I mean by that if people don't understand what I'm saying we are each other we are all reflections of each other and I could tell somebody something motivating and I'm like man you know just do this and do this do and but then I'm like really talking to myself because one of my patterns also Kev
is I'm a procrastinator you see this yes this is my little thing this is my list I make my delicious I make my little list I keep it right here I'll keep it right here and I write down everything and I go through and check my list off same because guess what I'm I'm the best procrastinator in the world yeah I'ma check it off yeah cold shower pray Jim Studio this imma check it off I keep I keep this with me have you ever been maybe tomorrow I get on it tomorrow and then Monday were
you ever that guy that man it's like my grandfather was real militant and he lived Inside Me Now people gonna think I'm crazy when I say it but I got he he lived inside me now he talked to me now and then my nickname did keep you like say dick so I'll be walking around the house talking to myself say dick gon get your ass in the shower yeah I gotta make myself do it say dick gon get in the shower come on you you come on because another 30 minutes gonna be the past and
you ain't gonna do nothing now you ain't gonna wanna do nothing come on girl let's get to it hey man why the nickname Dick is that a kid's name I don't know that he just called me that if you say dick I used to hate it because my friends used to tease me because when he'll call me I say dick let me holler at you they'll be hey dick right right my other nickname bro they might be like they call me both and where does Bo come from I think my auntie used to call me
that but uh the Mexicans they be calling me cartel bro and it's just amen and when you say it got so many nicknames you've been extremely like Universal too you know I've had you in the neighborhood man you don't spoke 45 different languages no you know what I'm saying but but you've been extremely Spanish in a little Arabic yeah because I come from a mix cultural uh background but you've seen and I was going to say you've seen Multicultural like you seem tapped in you know what I'm saying and it's not like yeah I'm the
thing it's not a fake tattoo no I'm the thing you know I hate to say it like that but I got to go and live in my truth I'm really that thing everything that come around me leave different but when the Beloved is off location they gonna be returned back into original form but when they area all you got to do is go back in the history books and look anything that came around me then became different but when the Beloved is off a location ones return unto original form so I can't get mad if
a woman that was dealing with me start backsliding once I'm off location right I know exactly what you're saying it's not I can't be upset if one of my little brothers or one of my little soldiers started backsliding or turning into something else because when the Beloved is off location ones return onto original form I'm really that thing and I got to acknowledge myself like that and when I say that thing I'm talking about that thing were you afraid to to talk sometimes because you felt like people wouldn't understand oh I feel like I'm I'm
man I'm being too [ __ ] on being boastful but if you being factual like I said I'm not the richest man in the world I'd have been broke most times and I'd have been Rich I'd have lost way more fighting out of one but I won the ones that count and it ain't been a time that I wasn't scared or I didn't have feel it's okay to have fear but I operate and I faced that field with bravery did you did you keep yourself from Talking sometimes because all the time but right now like
this other this other lady uh I hate to say that she like what you would consider like a I don't know in English you'll probably say A Healer but like in Spanish she like a a curendera so like she told me she said your soul is so ancient she say when it come on you to speak just speak because you never know who you helping right just speak yeah don't don't don't hold don't hold it again so I had to say that like I'm really that thing like like you can't say like all these feathers
in my head I heard these I knew what I went through to earn these feathers all these tattoos on me I earned this [ __ ] these scars and [ __ ] all on my body I heard this [ __ ] so it's beautiful like it's beautiful to be where I'm at right now hear what I'm here and hear what I'm asking you now not that you're surprised but surprised but for surprises for lack of a better word I'm surprised that's where I'm going with this are you surprised that you're here today [ __ ]
