Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are last break of the

(00:02):
day on this Friday. It's been a good day, It's
been a good week, Yeah for sure. Hey, you know,
with the holidays approaching, in New Year's Eve and everything,
can I give you these reminders as a closing remark
just to my base out there. You know, I got
a base too. I'm tired of Donald Trump thinking he
the only one got a base, right, I'm tired of that. Hell,

(00:26):
we got a base two on this show. We got
some good folks on this show man that actually care
about their children, want the best life they can have,
trying to pursue happiness and success. Because I don't really
know anybody. I don't have people around me that are
not in the pursuit of success and happiness. I like
people around me that's trying to go to heaven too.

(00:47):
I really do like. I like moral people, man, I've
discovered that about myself, you know. Like this one guy
that I met recently, he told me, said, man, I
just want to become your friend. I said, brou I
don't know how we're gonna do that. Let's just go
and be cool and now, man, I want to be
your friend. And I thought about it. I said, Brud,
do you know the process that that requires the men

(01:08):
that I actually call my friends, the process of becoming
my friends, I said, Brud, don't worry about that. We
can just be cool. I said, I really have all
the friends I need right now. I really do. If
I just stay with the friends I got to the tape,
that'll be fine with me. And so that's just one
of the things I came over. But what I really
wanted to talk to you all about is this right here,

(01:29):
is about procrastination. I want you all to be aware
of it as we approach the new year, because a
lot of times if people wait on the new year
to make resolutions in the new year, I'm gonna do this,
and I'm gonna do new Year, I'm gonna do that.
Can I tell you something, everything you're talking about for
the new year, why don't you start now? Why not? Now?
I'm telling you, man, if you practice procrastination, procrastination will

(01:54):
become your practice. It's really that simple. If you get
okay with delaying stuff often enough, then pretty soon you
will discover you won't have a problem delaying anything. And
the time to act is now. It's right now. Y'all,

(02:15):
Tomorrow's not really promised anyway. But if you understood that
and you started acting now, you would be amazed how
acting right now can change your life. Stop looking for
the perfect time to begin something, because the perfect time
hardly ever lines itself up. You know when the perfect
time is. Now. Now is the perfect time. It's the

(02:40):
perfect time to pursue your dreams. It's the perfect time
to try to get in shape. It's the perfect time
to try to change your mindset from negative to positive.
It's the perfect time to make it right with your mother.
It's the perfect time to mend the relationships with your father.

(03:00):
It's the perfect time to forgive somebody. It's the perfect
time to move forward and stop looking in your past.
Right now is the perfect time. Stop putting everything into
the delay column. Delayed, delayed, delay. I'm telling you, man,
it becomes a habit, and then you pursue things differently

(03:25):
when there is no sense of urgency your success and
happiness for yourself, for your family. You should be performing
these things with a sense of urgency. Look, man, God
reacts to your level of faith. You are rewarded according
to your faith. We are all where we are because

(03:47):
we thought ourselves to this place now because you see
somebody with more money than you, that don't make that
person better than you, happier than you, none of that.
It's perfectly fine, man, to have a nice home, a
nice family. I admire people, man, who go to work,
who buy transportation for their family, who live in homes,

(04:12):
who take their children to school, participate in their activities,
you know, get on the school board, become coaches and
things of that nature. Man, I admire people like that.
The majority of people in this world are that way.
You know. I don't ever look at the fact that
I become this other type of person and I compare
that to everybody else's life, because man, I understand. I

(04:35):
get it. Man. Do you know some of my best
friends are regular folks, what we call regular folks. My
best friends are not in Hollywood other than sejectly entertainer. Really, man,
that's like the dopest dude I know, Like we're boys
for real. Other than that, Man, I have people I'm
cool with. Say it is my dude. That's my dude,

(04:59):
man I'm talking about I've been knowing this cat since
eighty nine. You know, we've never had a dispute and argument.
We've never had a harsh words. We never had an
exchange of ideas where we didn't agree. You know, I
just I talk about this things, man. But it's so
important in life man, to have relationships. But guess what

(05:23):
if a person ain't cool to be around, stop being
around them. You don't owe nobody your time. Association brings
on participation. Somebody once told me to describe your three
closest friends. He said, Now, after you look at that
piece of paper, in the description of your three closest friends,
do you realize you just described yourself. If everybody you

(05:43):
hang around gossip all the time, you gonna end up gossiping.
You know, people as talking. We were on the golf
course one time and somebody asked me, man, why you
and your dudes y'all always talking about money? Now what
you want to talk about? What you want to talk about?
Because no, we married. We gotta go home. So this
conversation you trying to have with a this ain't fit

(06:05):
to fly. I'm not finna be on TMZ. I'm after
the golf game. I'm going home. No, I don't want
to go on a golf trip. But you and the
buddies to the Dominican. No, we can play golf right here.
I got to go home, that's all, man. Just get
around people that's like minded, have yourself a great day
to day man, and join your week. Here. We'll see

(06:27):
y'all Monday morning. God willing. I know that little clothing
mark kind of all over the place, but that's how
I felt to say, I'm all over the place. Line
