This is an I-Heart podcast. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier.

Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the. iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's important that we just reassure people that they're not alone, and there is help out there. The Good Stuff podcast, season two, takes a deep look into One Tribe Foundation, a non-profit fighting suicide in the veteran community. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, so join host Jacob and Ashley Schick as they bring you to the front lines of One Tribe's mission. One Tribe, save my life twice.

We got her daddy, Tray the truth in hell with us. What up, bro? How you doing, bro? Yeah. How are you doing? Love, man. Tray, before we even get started, man,

every time we bring your name up and we go somewhere, people, they always want to sing you love for the help that you give, bro. You really in the position where people see what you doing. And, brad, they, you don't have to, but you go over and be. Beyond, bro. Trader Trove got a boat. Trade the truth got changed all day to come get the trees out of your yard. Whatever emergency happened, bro.

He had a bag that'll unfold and decorate your whole house. Come on, man. Boats, semi-trucks full of food, generators, axes, manpower. He out there, man, rescue people for real, bro. I've seen him tell the police, I got it. The police was going to do something. He said, I got it.

He told the police to stand down. Come on, man. It ain't just like... True store. No, I'm not like he's flexing with it He really out there doing it No, man But for real

We really appreciate all your efforts, man Trey Day coming up Yeah, you're Well, we're getting your schedule I know you're all busy But I'm a slide you all in I told you I'll be working It's all right

You know I pull up though I'll pull up too I'm in the relief game I'll be helping I go get some gas for the generator stuff Yeah, you're going to have fun with Trey but you're going to do some work

Oh God You're going to do something. I said, man, I thought this joke for the internet. We really got to be out here cutting the tree, man. Hey, man, 2025 BETT Awards. How are you enjoying the atmosphere? I see you got two little ones out here with you, man.

What's going on? It's cool, man. You know, it's always cool to be part of it. You know, this big for our culture. And, you know, just seeing the opportunities, right? Like, when you think back to when y'all, was starting myself and others when I'm seeing different stuff like that for y'all to even be able to be recognized outside of just the podcast where now when things like this happen

and they come to get y'all just as a natural bro and a homie I'd be proud to see stuff like that you know and then they'll be proud when you see some of the ones you're close to on stage getting recognized or being able to perform and then lastly the goal when you have kids to let them things you didn't so of course with me and Lou running around we're just doing our thing yeah man

that's dope bro what is you hey uh-uh that's too much cheese hey man let the kids Serita give me a napkin that's the atmosphere

that's out here man it's family I'm gonna get you some more cheeses come on come on we got cheeses and juice and it's good to see that

a real father first though you see what I'm saying no look at that Man, that how's supposed to be? She never got a little girl. Yeah, bro. She's good.

She's good. Bro, I'm telling you. Yeah, yeah, but, you know, it'd be cool, right, because the same way that people see me do the things that they see with Relief Gang and just getting people excited to jump front line, people watching me raise my kids to it and motivate other fathers to get out there. do that thing because I don't know if you realize bro when they come to I was probably one of the first couple of people that start bringing my babies to the interviews and stuff you know what I'm saying and you make that a cool thing because a lot of us you know a lot of us need to be in our kids and to see

that as well like but you make it look easy man but you know the good thing is I expose my all my kids right I always expose them the real life I expose them to this side, but I suppose in the real life. So the thing is, no kid. I'm cool right now. She got one here. I'm cool. I expose them, so they'll never have to look to the homies

or look to somebody else. All right, I got you something we get done. Well, they'll never have to look to nobody else to be curious to things. Because it's like, oh, I did all that with my pop side. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So it'd be the same with anything.

Like, when she get old, it ain't no little cat that's going to be. be able to excite her. Talking about a purse. You know, my daddy is? You know what I'm saying? So that'd be the bigger goal, yeah. My dad didn't talk to me that.

What are you talking about? Yeah, yeah. So it's like that. And even with my boys, like, hey, anything that you think you want to do, we're going to thug it out together, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, for sure. Yeah, man.

And I love that we undoing some of the lives that's been perpetuated on black men, because they always try to make a scene like we're the absent fathers and all of that. But, bro, we really would take our guys. kids there? I'm gonna be real with you in this last situation you know

fighting for my daughter and watching some of the the words that people would say and then you know some of the messages I would get a lot of father to be like man honestly they didn't give up on their child they just was kind of forced out

but like I tell them like sometimes you just got to fight harder because you got to fight with who can't the fight keep fighting so sometimes like when you said they were forced but like looking at a person like you was able to keep had the resources to keep but i'm even with me doing that i'm still fin to start fighting for resources for people who ain't able because man these kids need it then you got to think bro like we don't want no suckers raising our kids

you don't know what have these other people maybe you know what i'm saying so you saying something for real we got we got to be able to be their front line for them yeah hey man that's dope bt award 2025 man anything you're looking forward to seeing doing hearing person you want to run into man i see you out here you're doing the dropping the media and networking and everybody running up to you oh my god i can't believe it trade the truth you know what i'm saying i see you get you number to a few of the young and up-and-comer rappers and that's another thing that's admirable about you is that you're still approachable even on your level yeah that and you know some of the stereotypes of a lot of artists that've been in the game be bitter

and be hating on a lot of young men. For me, I want to see y'all have opportunity. The goal is why not help them or get them that boost they need? Give them the boost they need to be motivated. You never know how much that one little conversation may push them to not go crash out. Or just linking them with somebody else.

Like we had the two chicks right here. They was big fans of each other music. I don't even think they ever got to sit down and talk to each other. And see, that's the good thing, like, when I bring people to trade A too, a lot of people, I created a lot of relationships. Like, I don't know if y'all go look at the beginning of trade A's when you would see the dirks, the Todd Dollars, the Nipsey's, the, so a lot of people come there and they create bonds, they self, that grow in the other stuff, man. So we laughed and right in two chains and said he was at one point, two chains probably people thought he had the most. features he'll tell people

I'm probably alone I still got over 2,700 unreleased songs and I got music with Bro, he has a song with everybody I can, when we get out there I can pull songs out that you'll be like man I don't know what I'm gonna do

I got songs with everybody for real No, you ain't lying The part that people argue with me about is I never put them out Why is that? That was my next question You just sit at the house and listen to him myself I really do I'm not in lying

I really do I do it All right Well we got to do this then Give us Give me probably three of your favorite Unreleased joints then Just the title

Just so people can start seeing it Man maybe it leaked on line Maybe I can find it somewhere Man All the way from the older To the younger generation Yeah Um

Had something put together With Pac That's put up I had something put together with I didn't know he's about the same part. With Nipsey. With Nipsey that's put up

a lot of songs. I got songs with everybody, man. Like, you know, I don't, I actually had, like, some of DMX last verse he did was with me. Like, I got a lot of, I have a lot of music, bro. Man, that's right.

You're being selfish, man. Look, it's God's timing, man. It's going to come. But one thing for sure, um, if I ever start, and never rapped again, it's music that will still run circles around. Live on.

My generation, my kids' generating, like that's, and then the good thing is it's timeless music. It's not music that was at that moment right there, you know. And you know people rock with you because they don't, I don't think, no, all the songs you done did and all the features and all that, it's like, nobody tell you no. Yeah, that's true, that is true. But that those are real relationships. That's what I'm saying, it's a real connection that you have with people. The artist, like, it's deeper than music and anything, like, even with us, like, you, you sit down and just talk to us out, not, no cameras, you talk to people.

Yeah. Play, lab, talk, shit. People don't need, no, you funny, you're funny, you're a motherfucker too, no? That too, man, it's an interview about to come out. I was sitting one-on-one with, me and Tip, and it's, you know, I do interviews, but I never really go in depth. It's really going to open a lot of eyes. because a lot of people don't understand even with people at the level

I am, I'm still growing. Growth is important and it's uncomfortable. You know, it's a lot of people that choose not to go the route of growth, you know, because sometimes it makes us feel like suckers and make us feel all kinds of stuff because we're going about things a different way. But, you know, as a real one,

you've got to step out and if you're a leader, you're going to do you, forget what everybody else thinks. So I think when this interview come out, it'll open up a lot of home of the eyes. Yeah, okay. It'll drive niggas a certain way, you know? Man, 2025 B-E-T awards. Trade the truth.

There's a lot of entertainers out here this weekend. There's a lot of young talent out here this weekend. Like, as a person who got the OG statute in the game, man, what would you tell? What kind of advice would you give to the up-and-coming generations, bro? The next generation are actors, comedians, rappers, singers, dancers. like the atmosphere out here is 50-50 is half young half-old is like what kind of advice are you giving the next generation i'd say two things one keep god first first you know believe it or not man majority of a lot of people coming up don't even really have god they like it ain't that

it's state fault they probably ain't been taught like they got to understand that's when you all yeah and i feel for me i feel fraud doing that right i feel like i don't need to call on god when things bad what about when it's good. I want to do it 24-7. Have a relationship with them when you just talk a regular Yeah, I'm treated the same principle and standards. I say that, and I tell them stay doing you. A lot of people

give up on their dreams or try and shift to do something else to fit in when you just didn't realize your time was coming. You can just, now you got to start all over again because you didn't want trying to keep up with somebody else, man, stay down. When it's meant, it's going to come.

And appreciate the humble beginnings. I seen a post on Instagram the other day, right? And they showed a crowd, the crowd of a big room. It was packed. They say, this is 500. Showed a crowd of another room, $2,500. Showed a big bill than $10.000. Showed the stadium.

$20, $30. And they're like, hey, y'all worried about the likes and followers. So guess what? Them 500 likes really count. When you go look out how much that really is, like so. People just need to appreciate the beginnings, you know. It all transpired on the summer. That's what I, hey, and I pray this clip don't get out.

My baby got napkins on my head. I was just back here. True, what you want to tell him before we wrap it up? This is the Father's Day post right here. Oh, day, yeah. Yeah, you might have a doctor on you. Yeah, you never know. She's making a tourniquet.

That's what it called. True, what you want to tell him before we finish the interview? Always put toilet paper on my dad. You're going to follow your YouTube. Oh, yeah. Follow my YouTube. What's your YouTube? I am Baby Truth.
