And you connect the dots. And I think we need more now it makes sense conversation. Like they want to know like are they the only person that had the they walked into the the woods and they found the old box of porn in there over there like they wouldn't they would. They would have happened before. Is there a relatable situation here? I'm happy that you know we're talking about kind of a box of porn in the woods. I haven't talked about that in 20 years because it's so weird. But you just made 20 years of my life make you just.

you closed the gap. Yes. You know what I mean? I was like, there's only one person I told about that. He was like, get them out of here. I mean, of course, I went back again. I'm sure he took the point because I didn't see it anymore. But that's something, you know, that really, you know, hits is people don't talk about

the consistent effort success brings. No, like, you know, you got your kids, you got this, mother-in-law, father-law, all these things going on. You got life competing with you, right? And I think that was. will be the come to Jesus kind of fucking moment that makes people realize am I doing what truly makes me happy? Because if I'm not happy, do you think my fucking family's happy? Me providing for these people?

Because you're bringing that shit home. And then they got to put up with you. And they're going to do their very best because they love you and they support you. But you don't get it because you're in your fucking head because you're doing a job that you hate and then you're coming home. and then they're fucking loud and you want to just go off on a tangent because they won't put their damn dishes away because it's on the table.

It's like, I make time they've got to fucking tell you. Just put the loud damn dishes. But I think it's important to let people know because there's so much inauthentic behavior and activities going on right now, people are confused. People when they meet me, they always say like, you're very real.

Like, yeah. Like, how do you? Just talk. Who cares? If they don't like you, they don't like you. It's probably because they don't know anything about you. Or you're too real for them.

Don't worry about it. You're going to be okay. You know who you are. When you know who you are, I think it also helps where you can sit in any circumstance. Because it doesn't bother you. Like, you know who you are. It doesn't bother me. Exactly.

Except when you go home for the holidays and you have to tell yourself to meet your parents' expectations because when you're too real, then they freak out. Then they think that you're being insulting. And then they start yelling. And you're like, why are you yelling at me? I'm just telling you. Were you here last night? Because I think you just scripted that.
