Welcome back to the basement yard today. I'm actually putting this out late. It's Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018
It's a new year bitch
Happy new year everybody
2018
Doesn't really feel any different. I'll be honest with you. I don't know what it is
But when you get older like nothing
No holidays feel important like nothing your birthdays kind of just like dude. It's I have work tomorrow. I can't come out
I'm sorry, you know, it's just nothing's the same Christmas was like cool
But usually like the whole month of December. It's like Christmas season and it just feels that way and I don't know if it was just
Because I was so out of it
But it just didn't feel like it. It was weird Christmas was awesome though like Christmas day and it's celebrating with my family
it was actually one of the most
emotional and
Maybe the greatest Christmas morning. I've ever had to be honest with you. It was really
Something special for me and my family because I mean we went through a lot this year. There's a lot of stuff that obviously
I'm not gonna fucking tell you
but
You know it on Christmas morning
It was just really nice that we could all be there and just kind of give each other gifts and shit like it was dope
But this past New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve was cool, too
Just now I'm like backtracking the shit
I just said no, but New Year's Eve was cool, too
Like me and my friends we rented out this top floor of a bar and a bunch of people were there
It's like 60 people 60 70 people or something like that and all these people that you know
I grew up with and that are my best friends in the world
So it was cool
But yeah, I mean it's not like I feel like alright here we go new start fresh start and
Now it's just like whatever like I don't really have any
resolutions
Really because some of the stuff that I wanted to address I started addressing before the new year like I don't know
Whatever reason like I said it on Twitter like not too long ago. I feel like I've been just
MIA like the past month and just on autopilot and just really not
I'm just I don't know like just not a good version of myself. That's just how I felt. I don't know why like I
wasn't
really on top of my shit for some reason and I
Know what it was? I think it's cuz I stopped going to the gym
and I know that sounds crazy, but you'd be
You'd be surprised what that does for you like if I don't go to the gym in the morning
It's like hard for me to have a productive day because if you're up early you're already moving you get the blood flowing
It's like alright. I don't have energy. Let's do some shit, but when you just wake up and like make breakfast and then sit on the couch and like
Watch fucking ESPN or some shit
You just kind of after a while you just kind of go through the motions because I didn't go to the gym because I was sick for like a week
And then after that I was like, yeah, it's it's Wednesday. I'm not gonna start now
I'll wait till next Monday like I don't know where that logic comes from by the way
But that's my logic sometimes if it's Thursday, and I haven't got to the gym all week
I'm like well, I'm not gonna go now. I gotta start on Monday start fresh and then I just don't end up going on Monday, so
That's that's what I've been doing, but um I
I
Address this yeah, I'll just not like two a week and a half ago. I just realized I'm like, you know
I've been really just off my shit like I think I missed two uploads in
December which is like a lot for me missing two videos in a month
And I just had all these excuses in my head of like why I wasn't doing it
You know I was telling myself that you know
Maybe I just don't want to do it anymore or like maybe you know, buh-buh-buh, or I don't want to do this or buh-buh-buh
I don't know what the fuck it was buh-buh-buh. I
Don't know what it was like. It's not that I don't enjoy it like I fucking love doing it
I've been doing it forever, so like I'm not gonna stop doing it. I do like doing it, and I
Think I was just like in a pet state when you like are lazy, and you're just like, you know
You just sit on the couch. You don't really do much and you know, it's cold out
So you don't go out as much there's not like during the day you don't go out as much
So you're just sitting around it just gives you a bad attitude like whenever I sit around all day
I feel like shit, and I go to bed by like 9 p.m. Because like I just have no energy
I'm like oh, I just feel like a piece of shit, so I just you know, I don't do anything. I just fucking you know
Nothing, it's just nothing so if you do that for like an extended period of time
After a while you're like, I don't want to do that. I don't enjoy doing that. Maybe I just won't go outside ever again
You know some shit like that
And I was telling myself like you know because I just wrote this script with my buddy Greg and
Well as a pilot, but we're working on a script for a show and I'm like dead set on
Selling it to Netflix even if they tell me no I will literally find out where the headquarters is if there is one
I don't know if this is one of those digital online company. I'm sure they have headquarters
I will go there with 400 copies of this thing and throw it all over the ground
They are gonna know about this script. They're gonna have to really hate it to not make it
I want them to make it just so I would go go away. You know what I mean?
Like that's that's what I want, but we'll see if that happens in this year
But you know that was a lot different that to me was I don't want to say more fulfilling than my videos because
That's the wrong term, but it was
Really fun to do something to work on something for a long time and then just have it
Done because with these videos is just kind of like every week
You got to have something you know what I mean?
So you don't have you have a limited amount of time to get something out with this you could take your time
You could really I rewrote this thing for three to four times
To get it right and then you finally work on something for a long time and then you get it right and you're like, okay
This is it. I want to show people. I want to make this shit
It's just like a really good feeling that you don't necessarily get from making YouTube videos because you only have a week
And you know in some instances you have a day
you know, but
Whatever
But yeah, I mean it's been a hell of a year I turned 25 in 2017
You know a
Fourth of a way to a hundred years old. Hopefully I make it there. You know what I mean
You know, I was just talking about this the other day. You know when they interview old-ass people
When they interview someone who's like a hundred and eight and they're like, what's your secret and it's like this old Italian woman
She's like, you know, I was chain smoking cigarettes and
Fucking dropping acid and drinking wine every day. Like I don't have a secret and then it makes me think like is it
Like none of those people are like well
I was vegan from from the 80s on and you know, I've never had meat or you know what I mean
There's none of that like no one's like, you know, I really honed in on the health stuff
And that's why I'm here. I took a lot of vitamins vitamin D is the one that you need
So that's the secret everyone's just like, yeah, no, I was just chugging a wine and like that's just kind of
I just I got lucky. I don't know. So just like it's it's I think it's funny
Maybe people don't yeah, everyone just has like a a time limit on them, you know
It's weird
But I just thought that was funny
because we you know, we work so hard on our health and shit and then
You get these assholes are like, yeah, I didn't even fucking try 110 whatever no big deal
Like I fuck you man. I'm over here eating salads
you're over there smoking cigarettes and
Dipping it and fucking syrup. What I don't even know what I'm saying anymore
But 2017 was a huge year for me. It's probably the
I
Don't want to say best year of my life. I mean
financially and like career-wise it was easily the best year of my life
I do think that everything else kind of took a backseat because of that
I
You know, I moved out into this new apartment, which is incredible. This place is amazing and
You know, I just got word that I could actually stay so I'll probably do that. I'm gonna look at one apartment
And if I really really I have to like really love it and I do love it by the pictures
But I have to really really really really love it and then I'll move out because I don't mean I just got here a year ago
So if I could stay another year, I'll fucking do it
This place is incredible and I never thought that I'd be able to move into such a place like this before and it's funny because
my dad
When I was younger and when I dropped out of college and he's like do you have a plan whatever and I was like
Well, I'm doing this YouTube thing and you know, I never I didn't know because youtuber wasn't a job back then
so I didn't know that you could make money and I
Knew that you can make money if you like earned it because it wasn't just open to anybody
You had to like be picked or some shit
But he was like, all right, so tell me how many subscribers do you need for this to be a
For you to make a living and I was like like 10,000
Fucking wrong 10,000 subscribers, you know, however many views even if you're getting 10,000 views a video like that is not enough to support a life
You know what I mean, so I think I was just talking out of my aspect and it was it was assumption
But it's funny because you know, I think in 2017 I hit two million subscribers that could be wrong
I honestly have no fucking idea. I'm the worst person ever. I think it has to be yeah. It was probably 2017. Hey two million subscribers
absurd crazy and
And
The craziest thing that happened this year probably is this whole hasbro deal that I had going
You know for people who don't know I probably told the story a million times, but me and my siblings we
Like created this game called speak out and it did really well and Ellen was playing on her show and stuff and
Then you know, we teamed up with hasbro, obviously biggest fucking toy company in the world
which is
absurd in itself and
They were like, yeah, we're gonna make you your own version
like your name's gonna be on the box and shit, I'm like what and
I mean it fucking had like it's it's wild. I mean, I don't know like
Something happened with the video so I had to take it down like blah blah blah, but if you guys want on Amazon you could go check it out
I mean, I don't even care honestly at this point if you buy it
You know buy it if you want to play it don't buy it and just like never play it if you're not gonna play it
Don't fucking buy it. It makes no fucking sense like don't you know, whatever
But the game is really fun with your friends, especially if you're drunk just saying but
Yeah, the game
Basically you put like these things in your mouth and it makes it
You're not you can't pronounce
You can't use your lips to pronounce words
So it makes it sound like ridiculous and you have to try and guess who your teammates saying blah blah blah
But so they made this game it speak out Joe Sanagato edition if you go on to Amazon you could type that in and you will see it
There's a picture of my dumb face on the box and on the back of the box
Is me and my siblings playing it which I was very adamant about I wanted them to be on the box
Because now we just kind of have that which is I honestly is like good enough for me
I mean if you don't know about it that just goes to show like how much promotion I've put into it
I probably should have promoted promote promote. I probably should have promoted it more
but you know I
Didn't I don't know why you know that video just I had to take it down. So I was just kind of like bummed after that but
You know
The game itself is good enough for me the fact that it's a real thing that people can purchase and people have purchased
Which if you have thank you
And it's just really crazy man. I'd never thought that I'd fucking be able to do that
It's just wild like it's when people ask me like yo, what's it like? It's just like weird as hell
You know I mean imagine like when I was growing up
I always wanted to use my mom's camera and shit and now I'm doing camera shit kind of and
And
You know we every Friday was game game night in my house like my parents and my siblings
We sit around the table and we play a board game or some shit and now we fucking mate like it's you know what I mean
It's crazy
It's ridiculous, that's why I really honestly at this point. I really don't care if you buy it
I don't I really don't care because it's already a thing
I would care if I needed it, you know a bunch of people to buy it for them to make it but it's already made
I have a bunch of boxes in my apartment and
You know just knowing that it's a real thing is is good enough for me like that is crazy. It's it's really awesome
but
Yeah, that was that was well, but a lot of crazy shit happened to me in 2017. I really don't know how I'm gonna top this
I'll be honest with you. I really think the 2018 could be
You know, maybe take a dip here, you know, I mean
No, I'm actually, you know ever since I found out that I've been slacking off and just like out of it
I'm just not on top of my shit. I
Really put it in my head that you know
You had a great year and everything and I think that's part of the reason why I slacked off because I got comfortable
And I was kind of like oh you don't
You know, you have this apartment, you know, you have all these views and stuff
You don't really have to worry about money and whatever and just like yeah, you could take a break like you deserve it
All right, but no, that's not how it goes
You don't deserve it not yet deserve it when you're fucking 60 and you could retire
but
You know
Trying the best I can here to get on top of shit. I
Really really really want this script to happen this year. I will be
Through the fucking roof if this happens. I can't even explain to you how excited I am about it because
Like I
Will be so fucking happy
I really think that everyone will enjoy this and I'm not just talking about everyone who knows who I am
Like everyone, you know what I mean? I really think people will see this and be like this is fucking great
This is hilarious. Like this is really good. You know what I mean? And that's not you know
That's not saying like I wrote a great script because I got a lot of help too. You know what I mean?
Like for the past few years
Anything funny that has happened to me any situation
I've heard of that was funny or anything that one of my friends that was funny
I'd always write it down and I'm kind of just trying and trying to incorporate all of that into this script
And you know, I get a lot of help from my buddy Greg who I'm writing with currently
You know, he wrote a book and I wrote a script and it was like 20-something pages
for a pilot episode and I
Sent it around and people were like it's funny
But I don't really know what the hell's going on here because it was not linear. There was no storyline
It was just kind of like yeah, the dialogue's hilarious, but the fuck is going on. So when I sent it to him he
Had a bunch of notes for me and I kind of agreed with all basically saying like yeah
This fucking suck this suck this the whole thing sucks and I agreed with every word he said
So I was like, you know what?
We should write this thing together and you know, I got a lot of help from him and you know
We just work well together and I think we really do have something we're on to something here
And I hope that you know someone like Netflix feels the same way
And they trust us to make a cool show because I think that it'd be fucking awesome man to do that shit, man
It's
Like my dream to do that like right now
That if I could pick anything to get done it would be that
Seriously, it would
But what else happened this year
So the Hasbro thing moved into my apartment
Fucking oh, I sat court side at a Knicks game for the first time ever my agent dude this guy
Shout out to fucking Ben, but this dude hits me up one day. He's like yeah, I got tickets to the Knicks game
This guy's fucking out of his mind. He goes. Yeah, I they're not the good seats
You know cuz I I'm my agent
I'm represented by William Morris and they have I guess tickets to fucking Knicks games and shit, so
He's like, yeah, they're not the the good ones and I was like, I don't give a fuck dude Knicks. What's good turn up Nick's tight and I
Get there and I you know, I go to a will call with my buddy. I brought my buddy Marco and
We go to will call and I'm looking at the tickets. I'm like dude. There's no number on this
It's like a letter and I didn't know what the fuck that meant. I was like, yeah, forget it. These are fake
So we go to where we're supposed to go dude
We were on the floor. I was right fucking there
Like I have never sat
Anywhere that wasn't the upper deck ever growing up and now I'm sitting I'm getting hit with sweat pellets off of Carmelo Anthony
It's fucking nuts
It was a lot of fun, too
We sat down and me my friend Marco were just heckling the players the coaches everybody
The whole time the refs we googled the ref because the refs all have a number
We googled the ref's name and we're young come on Zach the fuck's going on with that call
And he turned around like dude. How do you know my name? Yeah, we looked you up Zach. We know all about you
It was great. Oh shit was so much fun
I remember leaning over to my agent be like you fucked up giving us these seats and then we're right back to heckling
That shit was fun and actually they were playing the Lakers who were fucking terrible at the time and
We should have won that game, but we were down by 20 at one point in like the second quarter
I was like the fuck is going on so I was furious and
On the Lakers bench. They got met a world peace
Formally known as Ron our test who is from
Queensbridge, which is like right near where I live right now like he is from Queens where I grew up
So I was I wanted him to play because he's an older guy
He wasn't getting minutes and shit. So I was like I stood up
I screamed like near the end of the game because they were obviously winning
I was like, what do I got to do to get some world peace around here and
Like the whole fucking section laughed and shit, but like no one from the team turned around note into the coach didn't either
And they're right fucking there. They can hear me. I know they can and then the next whistle. He comes off the bench
and he's looking he
He goes to the to check into the game and we're sitting right there
So I just stick my hand out like yo Queens and he daffs me up. I'm like
All right sick, and I was so hype. I was on TV Matt people texted me. It was great
Good times man memories had a bison burger never had that before shit was fucking fire
Goddamn it was hard to go back to regular cheat the fucking hamburgers after that bison burger. The fuck is good
She was fun as hell
What else happened this year went to Vegas again
Obviously blacked out on like the third day. I was there it always happens because I forget to eat and I just drink too much
It's out of control
You know if you have a problem with that don't recommend going to Vegas actually
Whenever I tell people how long I go to Vegas for they're like, you know, you're out of your fucking mind
because
You know me and my friends usually go Wednesday to Sunday
Well, I don't I've never got Wednesday to Sunday
I always go Thursday to Sunday like I'll lay on Thursday morning and then immediately off the plane
We'll go straight to a pool party and then it's just pool parties and just drinking and a lot of gambling after that
But this year I was smart with my money and I did not gamble until the last day
I was there and I kind of I think I was like I just like left with like an extra hundred bucks, but
nothing too crazy, but
Yeah, that place is a disaster it was a lot of fun though a bunch of my friends came
Uh, but it always happens to me every single year we go to Vegas and the first day I'm like hype
I'm like, let's fucking go. Let's rage
And then I get to a pool party. I drink my face off and I'm fine whatever
and then
You know, you got to do it again at night going out. All right, we'll go to the tables
Hang out have a couple drinks at the tables because they're free
and
Then you're like, all right. Well, I'm gonna go to sleep you wake up another pool party and now you're like, all right
This kind of sucks a little hungover, but I could get through it. It's Vegas. Fuck it vacation. Yeah
And then at the second night, I was like, dude, I'm not going out. I'm gonna fucking die in here
So I just stayed in I think
by the third day
And I was conscious of this. I was like, I need to keep eating
I know I I spent a bunch of money on on room servers so I could eat
I was like, whatever. I'll pay it
Because I don't want to die because every year I black out and I don't remember anything and I was like very
You know cautious of it and then I think it was Friday. Oh, oh, no. Yeah, so I think it was uh, saturday
No, it was friday. It was the second day. It was there. What is wrong with me?
Second day. It was there
went to encore
and I was fine in the beginning and then, you know
Couple drinks in you don't even realize how much alcohol you just consumed and I'm on a stage dancing in the middle of a pool
Like I was black out and whenever I get really drunk. I'm always really responsible with it. Like I went out to my friend
I met I was like, you know, I need to go back. Can you please take me home?
He's like and I don't really remember any of that
Uh, I definitely don't remember leaving but I do remember sitting at a
like this
I don't know just like restaurant kind of place
And like eating and then going back and just passing out for the rest of the day
But I don't think I think I went out at night one time
The entire time was there like not including like going to the to the tables and stuff
But fucking vegas kicked my ass. I think I'm getting old like I don't I don't know
I can't keep doing this shit. It's out of control
Whenever I tell people that they're like, you know, you're out of your fucking mind
You're gonna go there like friday to sunday. That's it
Like go hard two days and then go home
We're over there for taking a
goddamn
Wednesday to sunday. It's fucking crazy
Can't do this
Anyway, uh before we
Move forward here. Let's get to the sponsor today. We have mvmt movement watches

You know, they started 95 bucks, which is very affordable, you know at a department store. You're looking at like
300 to 500 bucks. I went to the mall

She's like 450 bucks. I'm like, what?

Anyway, uh on a serious note
I just wanted to say that
You know 2017
Was crazy and although I think I took everything for granted near the end of the year
Uh, first of all, I want to apologize about that because I think I did like I was not present on any sort of social media
I don't I was such a loner. I don't know why I really have no idea why
because
you know making people laugh and you know getting reactions and
you know just
It's telling jokes. It's like my favorite thing to do is the only thing I like doing. That's not true. I don't know why I said that
It's one of the things I love doing
Uh, and I just didn't I don't know why like I wouldn't post anything anywhere
For days like I don't think I posted on my instagram like two weeks or some shit like that
Well, I did because of new years, but you know after that, I just haven't like I don't know why I don't know why I did that but
um
You know other than that. I just wanted to say that 2017 was probably one of the greatest years of my life
um, I got to do
something that helped out my family tremendously
and it was because of
You know how far I've come in this in these past I would say two years but 2017 specifically
um
You know, I was able to to make good money doing this
and
I was able to help out my family and you know some of my friends and stuff like that and
that is
unexplained like that is just the best thing in the world is the best feeling in the world and is the best thing to do
with your money
it's the it's the hell people and
You know, especially the people that
You know that you love and stuff, you know what I mean? Like that is it's just like
As far as far back as I can remember
I've always like I found one of these
things like you know when you're in school
and
Like you're in like elementary school. You're like your second grade and you know around the holidays that make you feel
make these like booklets like projects or whatever and it's like
Oh making
You know, it's like what do you want to be when you grow up and what is this? What is that?
In one of those things I wrote like I just want to be in a position where I'm I can help out my friends and family and
Like I can do that now. You know what I mean?
I mean, I gotta keep I gotta keep it up if I want to stay in this position
but
You know, I can't slack the fuck off like I did this past month, but you know, I am in that position now that I could help people
and
you know, that that just feels amazing and
You know, these are my family like I can't even explain
I would literally kill a human for them. I really would I really would kill somebody for them
They are so important to me. I can't do anything without those people
You know
It's crazy because we're all like older. You know, I'm 25. I'm the youngest and still all the time
We'll all be at my mom's
You know what I mean? I'll just hang it out like, you know
Getting away from everything and just kind of hanging out with each other because we are that close
and my brother just moved
uh, my brother was moved out, but like my oldest brother just moved to
Uh out long out like an hour away or some shit like that
um, my sister and her fiance are
You know moving to god knows where you know this year. So it's like we're all going to be away, but
I have a feeling that we're all going to be back in that house
You know some days, you know, I mean because those people are just very important to me and you know, I would
The fact that I'm able to help is just
You know, I'm just repeating myself at this point, but
We're all very close and and being able to help them out is just like an extreme blessing and I couldn't do it without
Literally anybody who's listening to this podcast has helped in certain ways that they have no idea why
Or no idea how
You know when people say that to me, they're like, yo, you've helped me so there's so much
I'm like, I'm just fucking telling jokes over here. You know what I mean?
And I feel the same way about them too when they say that
because
If no one watches I can't
Do it, you know what I mean? I could do it
But
It's not going to be beneficial to me in any way. I can't continue to do it. I have to get a job
I have to do this I have to do that
But if I am able to do this
And people genuinely enjoy it and support it
Then I get to make money so I get to keep doing it
And then it's gotten to the point where so many so many people have supported me
That I'm actually able to use this money to help out my family
And like that means the world to me and like that happened in 2017
Like that dream of mine was realized in 2017 like it was incredible
And I'm extremely thankful and grateful and I'm super apologetic about like this past
Month or few months that I've been just kind of
You know getting comfortable and taking it for granted or whatever
I don't know what I was doing to be honest with you. It wasn't it wasn't me. It really wasn't like my apartment's a fucking mess right now
and
You know, I wasn't going to the gym and I just was I feel like I was just like a shitty version
Of myself and I was like, what am I doing?
Like this is not the person I was
When I dropped out of college and was like, oh, I'm gonna pursue
I was so driven and ambitious and working hard and shit and I don't know these past few months
I was kind of like, yeah, fuck this
Not fuck this, but I was just kind of like
You know, I'm just gonna skate by and just you know do whatever
It's like the fuck
Why would you do that?
Nobody deserves that. Um
So, yeah, that was kind of
The biggest thing
for me
uh
This year was being able to be in that position and
You know, I'm gonna work hard to try and stay in that position
Hopefully the script gets made because
Boy, that's gonna make a lot of money
Actually, I don't know if that's true. I was told a long time ago that
TV shows don't make like any money the first season and the second season they'll make like a little more or whatever, but
I don't even care, dude
I really don't care
I just want to make funny shit at this point
And I think I've said this numerous times, but I told like my parents I was like
And actually, you know what's funny? I said this to my parents when I was super young and then it was
Validated by Dave Chappelle
Uh, if you haven't seen it, you can go on youtube and watch it
So inside the actor studio James listen hosts it and he interviews
Celebrities on like their lives and their come up or whatever and I've seen like every single one and there was one
specifically Dave Chappelle's
Where he said that he told his father
um
I think I don't want to tell it wrong, but basically he was asking he's like how much does it teacher make and you know
His dad's like $40,000. He's like well if I can make $40,000 doing comedy then that seems worth it to me
You know what I mean?
And I feel the same exact way and I said that to my parents when I dropped out of college. I was like
you know
I don't need a lot of money like I don't live a lavish lifestyle. I don't have like
Gucci and like nice shit or like whatever my cars like
you know
It's not it's not I pretty much everyone I know has a nicer car than me
Uh, it works. So that's dope. That's all I need it for so whatever, but
I don't need a lot of shit
so
This apartment is the only thing that I spent well
That's a lie. This apartment and that fucking arcade machine
That was probably the two big purchases I've made in my life
um
Not that I purchased this Jesus Christ, but um
Yeah, I I I don't need a lot of money
So it's like it's not about the money. I just like creating shit and and you know
Being funny and telling jokes and stuff and the script is something that
I genuinely if Netflix told me like yeah, we'll make it, but we're not going to pay you anything
I bet I don't care whatever
Let's make it like I want to see it. I want to watch it. That's how excited I am about it
Like I just want to watch it. You know what I mean?
That's it. Like I just I just want to see it like I don't care
Just fucking make it and then it's if it's successful, then you could pay me for it, but
You know make it for free. I literally that's my that's my last resort. I shouldn't be saying this, but
That's my last resort with Netflix. I like listen
I'll pay for this making it just make it and put it on your stupid platform. Fuck
Even though that'll never happen because it'll probably cost a ton of money to make this shit, but
um
Yeah, I look forward to this year. I think I'm starting it off on the right foot. I'm gonna try
and stay on
you know
A regiment and try to be ahead of everything like I'm trying to
You know plan out things better
Because that is not something I've done ever in my entire life like with videos mostly like on tuesday
I will then I'll be like, oh shit. Let me come up with something like I don't want to do that anymore. I want to be
Structured more. I want to just be on top of stuff because when you're on top of stuff and you're ahead
You have more time
to
Do other things, you know, and I did a ton of shit this year and I worked like hell
And I put so much stress on my I have grays
I have gray hairs on the side of my fucking head. I do I have like a good eight good eight grays
This stress is killing me guys
But um
I did so much stuff, but I leave it all to the last second. So it's like you're under a stressful
You know what I mean? Like you just put it's unnecessary
Just be ahead and then you could work be stress-free like I don't have to worry about this. It's doing like three days
That's nice
You know, then you could you could work on it a little bit walk away do some other stuff come back to it
Finish it the next day or whatever. You know what I mean? But I don't do that
So i'm trying to do that in 2018. So I have less grays. Okay. It can't be taylor hicks in it out here
You know remember taylor hicks and fucking american isle guy was like you had a full head of gray hair
He was like 21 or some shit
I don't want to do that
I don't have to start dying my hair
I can't have that yet
Unless it looked good trying to silver fox it
Some people can pull off the salt and pepper. I feel like i'm too early for salt and pepper though
32 i'll like try this i'll try the salt and pepper, but you know
All right, let's just hope I don't get there. I'll take a grace. I think that's normal sort of I don't know but
Is it probably not?
Whatever dude. I don't fucking know
I'm getting up there getting up there in age guys uh 2017 good year excellent year. I really have nothing else to say at this point
um
Yeah, but i'm gonna try and be better this year and uh, hopefully this fucking thing gets made obviously even if it gets
Made though this year. I don't think that it will be out this year. Maybe in 2019
It will be out, but all I need is the chance to
you know
Make it
I really do want to watch it
It's it reads like a good show. I just wanted to share it. I want people to see it
So like if this thing crashes and burn wow my voice is cracking all right starting this year off on the right foot
There we go
Uh, even if this thing crashes and burns
I still want to put it out like I don't know how like I would film it by myself
I don't fucking know, but I just I would love to do it. I'm really excited about it
um
But yeah, that's pretty much it
um
I just talked about myself for fucking 40 minutes. I'm so sorry
That's probably what I do anyway
I'm gonna be better
Uh, I gotta be better guys. All right. Um
But yeah, that's it for this podcast. Uh, I appreciate everything you guys have done for me in the past year
Uh, keep doing it in 2018
Because otherwise I'll be homeless
And that'll be dope and it gets cold in the winter here. Okay
um
No, but seriously, thank you uh for 2017 2018. I'm gonna make it up to you
I'm gonna pay you back with some cool stuff
And that is all
Thanks for listening. Yeah, motherfucker
