Speaker 1:

what it do, baby yo. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to my channel and welcome back into another video and welcome to the carlos granados podcast. Um, as you can see, we have been I have, well, I have been grinding lately, uh, with a lot of videos and a lot of content, a lot of shorts putting out there, because, of course, we are very, very close to the million views. In each day you get more excited, cause that's a, that's an awesome feat. You know, um.

Speaker 1:

By the way, prior to starting this video, I kind of kicked my brother out of of um the basement space because he was doing homework, quote, unquote. I think he was or studying, and um, I told him to come take part of the video, but he didn't want to. So that's unfortunate, you know, regardless. Anyways, but he did say, though, he did want me to give you guys a message. He said make sure you guys get me up to a million views so then I could buy him some legos. And, as you can see, if you can see to my left here, if you're watching this on youtube, you can see on my left um, he built that right, that spaceship, the nasa spaceship, which I love, and there's one of the reasons why we have it there, because I love nasa and I'm into space and to some extent I think he also is. He's also into all that. So but he did tell me, you know, get me to a million views, so you know, so your boy can get a little bit more profitable and we can buy him some legos. And then maybe and I've told him this in the past I was like marvin, you do so much lego stuff, why don't you make a youtube video, youtube videos and a youtube channel, because I've seen how popular they get. You know what I mean. Like that would be a good idea. What do you guys think? I think? I think he should definitely go for like make actual youtube videos of him building legos.

Speaker 1:

He makes all types of legos, except he slowed. He slows down on them because they're very expensive, but he gets really happy on legos and he's building something. I think that's like he's like in flow state. You know what I mean because I've seen them like he gets really in the mix. So that's a pretty cool hobby to have. We actually have he has a cabinet full of different legos, um, outside of right outside the interest of like the basement, and then also we have some of his legos here. Well, one of them is over there and, yeah, none of them are here on the right side, but yeah, he does have some and I think he even has some in his room, if I'm not mistaking. But that's pretty cool, that's a pretty cool hobby to have. And I told them I was like, why don't you just record the videos and create like a like a time lapse, you know of, uh, of how you, you build the legos, and I think that's really cool. There's, I think, kids who have like millions of views for them just building legos. That's one of the things he could do. He'll probably be richer than all of us if he does that. But you know, we'll see, we'll let you guys know if he ends up doing that. But thank you guys, um, for obviously always showing love, listening on all the audio platforms and, of course, watching on YouTube, and you can always watch this video on YouTube 4K.

Speaker 1:

I did want to give you guys a quick update I don't think I've given you an update recently on my abuela abuelita, on my grandma. She ended up going to the hospital, to the ER again. She had a routine um doctor's visit but they sent her straight to the hospital because she's retaining a lot of water. As I mentioned in the past, she has uh been suffering for from congestive heart failure, and this is due to so many things and a long list of health issues which include, you know, the hypertension, you know having a lot of high blood pressure, kidney problems, of course, to the point where her kidney level function is really really low, unfortunately so, and then, of course, that's affecting her heart, and then she's gotten congestive heart failure, which essentially, a lot of water is being built up in her body and it doesn't really leave Right. So and it goes back from her heart. It doesn't really leave her heart, it goes back to her lungs and then, essentially, she starts suffocating and she's not being able to. She doesn't, uh, she's not able to breathe um very much and to the extent where I remember one time she was feeling really bad, from the garage to my car she literally ran out of breath, like completely out of breath, and she started getting very emotional because she was feeling um really bad.

Speaker 1:

Although if you have a grandma and you know they're really really tough cookies, man, grandmas are just really really tough people and she wouldn't tell us, tell us how bad it it was because, one, she didn't want to go to the hospital you know, nobody ever does but two, um, she thinks everything's going to be okay. But this time it really got to her and, uh, we had to take it to to the hospital and essentially what they do when we take her is just they start giving her a lot of medication, the through her iv, um, to to essentially remove the fluid, because that that is what's causing most of the issues, um, and then when we come back home, um, finally, we had I guess to this point we had gotten like a routine and a management plan where it was a little better. So she lasted about maybe a month or so, uh, without going to the hospital, which at this point was really good rate. I think what really hurt her was the fact that she ended up going to el salvador with my family, and you know the heat, the walking, you know the heat, the walking. You know my grandma. When she goes over there, she definitely likes to run the show when she goes back to the homeland and she kind of acts as if, like, she doesn't have health problems, but in reality she does. So I think she came back a little worse than she would have if she was here. I was just glad that she went and you know that she enjoyed herself as much as she could. I think that's a blessing, and all my family went and they had a good time, from what I've heard. So I just hope, now that you know, she gets this fluid off and then we get back into a program.

Speaker 1:

You know, being that sick and at that point as she is in her life, I will say it's a lot of contradictions going on when it comes to the medication, because one thing it's curing and it's helping manage so I would say curing, just helping manage a certain symptom but that the side effects from, you know, those medications make her feel some type of way. So she's been taking at least like maybe like eight to twelve um pills because of how bad things have gotten and, um, in some way, shape or form, they make her feel like very down, um, they make her feel, uh, sometimes very shaky, and we've been trying to work with the nurses and the doctors to try to figure out what's causing some of these issues. So it's, you know, you fix one thing and then, but you're also hurting another kind of thing, and that's the unfortunate event of where we're at. But hopefully we can get up to the point where we're able to manage. But now, every time she goes to the hospital because she's been there several times they know what's happening and what's going on. So they put our medications right away and then they start doing blood work and testing.

Speaker 1:

So, um, whenever, god willing, I have an, I make another podcast. Then I would update you guys on what's going on with my abuelita. So, uh, keep her in your prayers. Um, and I appreciate you guys. I know you guys always have cared about what's been going on with her.

Speaker 1:

So, just to get into, by the way, I don't even have, just like the past couple of times I really haven't had a podcast topic. Just like you know, the past two or three episodes I don't think I really have had and I think it's pretty cool. But I do have on my mind what I want to talk about. But we're just going to get into whatever we get into. So let's have fun. You know, this is the point of having a podcast, man. This is so fun and we can just talk and express and, you know, just kind of kill some time with you guys, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

But recently we have made some plans with the cousins and some friends to go to Disney World. To go to Disney World, yeah, so in Orlando, right, and essentially we're going to the beach first and then we might take a day or so to go to Orlando. And I've never been into Universal Studios in Orlando or Disney World at all. It's never been my thing really. Um, I don't know why I feel like people gas it up so much and hype it up so much that it's just like, okay, okay, let me. Let me tell you where I'm coming from. That's why I think that, right, and I've been having this thought lately, I just don't see the fun in going to a state and then a city that's really hot, right.

Speaker 1:

Then you walk for hours and hours, burning yourself because that sun is beaming now, and then let's say, if you want to get on rides, you have to wait hours and hours if you don't either buy the flash passes or you know passes to to get you in quicker, um, and things of that nature. And then there's a whole bunch of people, so many people, and I've seen videos and I've I've seen pictures and I've had people tell me how bad it gets and I'm like, why would I want to do that? I don't know if it's my age coming out and this is me, you know. Just just, it doesn't seem very pleasant. The only thing I can compare it with in my mind is going to Six Flags. Right, going to Six Flags when it's prime summer, it's, it's, I feel, like it's the same thing, it's up in a minor scale. It's hot. You wait long lines for the good rides because nobody wants to get on the bum rides. On the good rides you have to wait so long and it can take you an hour just to get in a ride, and sometimes not even in the front seats. You might have to go in the middle because it's so packed, I mean, and you do all of that just for like a minute or two of fun, which maybe back in the day when I was younger, I found that like more appealing. But now let me tell you, man, that that is not something that like intrigues me as much. It's just not my thing. I don't. I don't see too much, too much fun in it, you know.

Speaker 1:

But we are planning on going and what we're planning on doing this time around, because I've been suffering from a lot. You guys have seen my, my, my videos and um, my health journey. Recently I've been struggling a lot with like my, my chest and like my breathing and things of that nature. So it hasn't been very pleasant and you know it's. It's been very hard. So, walking that long distance can I do it if I push myself? Yes, do I want to do it and push myself for what I just told you? Not really.

Speaker 1:

So we're planning on getting, like what is this called? Maybe like well, my cousins and my friends suggested a wheelchair, which is very reasonable, right, because I do have health issues. They're legit. I can show them proof, all they want, if they need to, or a little scooter you know what I mean. Like the people sit down and you can get a little scooter and you can just, you know, basically drive around, because it'll be easier for me and I guess I'll be the person who holds everybody's bags and stuff like that while they get on rides, on these crazy rides and kind of wait for them, which, again, I'm not looking forward to, but just to experience it.

Speaker 1:

I'll be down like I have sometimes. You gotta do what you gotta do and if I have to get in those little scooter for um to get some type of enjoyment and for them to enjoy it. That's cool with me, I don't mind that. I can, you know, get on a wheelchair. They can push me around. I just told them y'all better push me, I'm not, I don't, I'm not the skinniest guy, so y'all going to be sharing and y'all going to be pushing me around. So if you guys can do that, then so be it. And I told them that. You know. Of course, again, if I could walk and do it, I would and I can, but it's just not the best thing for me and that's not the most beneficial thing. I'll feel like crap afterwards and we're not trying to do all that, especially outside of state Does that make sense? And on vacation. So we'll see how that goes. I'll keep you guys updated.

Speaker 1:

It's just for me, the fun of that has been lost and it's not something that I find intriguing anymore at all. I really don't. Let me know how you guys feel in the comment section about that. It's just. It's just, especially in the summer when it's all, heat is just like too much man. It's just not my thing. And, by the way, don't get me wrong.

Speaker 1:

I love disney. I've watched disney since I was a kid and now of course we've gotten into more disney shows and stuff like that. But, um, you know, through dis, the movies and things of that nature, like I love that, I just it's just that that whole day doesn't doesn't really intrigue me too much. But I love Disney. Um, I love, uh, mario, uh themed things. I mean I'm Super Mario, all, all everything Mario. I really I mean I'm a bit I'm a, I'm a man child when it comes to that. Sometimes I just have, I love everything. You know I have a Nintendo Switch myself, so I love a lot of Mario things. I mean I've had Super Nintendos when I was growing up, nintendo 64s, you know, I had the Wii growing up and then, of course, the Nintendo Switch eventually. So I've had all the system. I've really enjoyed all of that.

Speaker 1:

It's just now I feel like those type of trips just doesn't intrigue me too much. To me, my type of vacation is go relax, you know, go rest, take some time. Yeah, go, you know, go do some things here and there and just don't do too much. I don't want to. I don't like to come back tired from a vacation. That's why it's called vacation, not go get tired and come back and then go to work the next day. But I probably won't go to work the next day because I'm going to take that day off too, because I'm probably going to be tired. So we're planning a big family trip, which I'm excited about, and we'll see how how that, how that goes. I'll keep you guys up. Maybe I'll make a video. We'll see. I'll probably make a lot of shorts, uh, to be honest, which is kind of easier to share instead of making a whole video. I feel like that also has more and more reach and it'll be more simplistic.

Speaker 1:

But I'm excited to go to a part of florida that I've never been to, uh, to clear water. Um, for some reason I haven't been there. I've been to miami, um, I've been to panama city. I've been to, um, what's the other one on the other side? Um, daytona, is it daytona beach? I think it is correct me if I'm wrong, but the other side of the beach, closer where the? Um kennedy space station's at. So I've been to that side, um, shoot, I even been to Fort Lauderdale, which is right next to Miami, so, but I've never been to Tampa or to Clearwater, which they're very close, and I'm kind of excited to go there, because PCB were definitely gone plenty of times. Oh, I even went to Orange Beach, which is in Alabama.

Speaker 1:

I feel like Orange Beach in Alabama is what PCB used to be, maybe 20 years ago. It's more family-like, it's very chill, super chill. They have good restaurants, but it's not as active as PCB eventually got to be or how it was and then what it became, right, but I feel like it's definitely more chill. The beach is nice, there's pretty, you know, decent and really nice hotels that you can stay in. So, um, that's cool. So we'll see, we'll see how that goes, we'll see how the water is, and then we'll get to explore, um, some things.

Speaker 1:

One time, though, my friend told me which is, I know this might not be as irrelevant, but they told me they had really nice strip clubs in Tampa. I don't know how true it is, but he told me one time, I think, when he was, you know, probably like 10 years ago. He's like dude, dude, tampa has like amazing strip clubs, and I'm like, I'm like homie. At that time I was like I've never been to a strip club in my life and and and I think I've only been to a strip club one time. If you guys want to hear this story, I mean I will tell it in this podcast because you know that was in the past and I've never been um to another strip club again.

Speaker 1:

We just went one time and we went from a first birth, from a friend's birthday was essentially it was his birthday, but my birthday was the week prior, so it was kind of like almost our birthday. But you what, we made it his thing and we went um and I guess it was a good experience because you have, you know, I've never experienced that before in my life. I just the vibes maybe were not really for me, but it was. It was good to just have that and get that at your bucket list. And you know, two, one, two a strip club, I guess, especially back in the day prior to being saved. I'm not encouraging now, I'm not encouraging that behavior now, but back in the day I was just like, well, I've never been to one and never since then I haven't gone back. So thank you, lord, and I don't think I'll ever be going back to one of those.

Speaker 1:

Uh, it's just definitely not my vibe, it's um, you know, when you go to places nowadays, it feels you get this feeling of this type of energy. Man, I don't know how to explain it, but a lot of friends have confirmed this with me. But I started feeling this maybe a little bit too early in my life. Every time you go to places where there is a lot of like alcohol and maybe you know a lot of bad energy, when you know people might be doing drugs and stuff, you know it can include clubs, it includes bars and all these type of things. And then there are some places where they're worse when it comes to the type of people that go, because that's the thing. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

You know what type of people are going to hang out on there, because that's the thing, you know what I mean. You know what type of people are going to hang out on there and whenever, for some reason, you end up in those places, you feel those type of I don't know how to explain this Like negative energy, bro, just this energy that you just don't want to be there. You feel uncomfortable, sometimes they even smell bad and I'm just like yo. What am I doing here? You know what I'm saying? People who are not in the right mind. So you know, shit can go down and you can get in the mix. You can be in the mix and you shouldn't even be in there in the first place. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

It's just it's not my vibe. I think my type of vibe is you know, you can have your drinks and you can do whatever you want. But if it's classy, if there's music playing, you know, if there is some type of good environment, you know, maybe I wouldn't say older people, but more mature people, a little bit more classy, maybe a restaurant that turns into or some type of a small lounge, does that make sense? Like, am I making sense here? I don't not, none of this. The young crowd which you know they're trying to just, you know, live their life, which you know, do for you, good for you, do what you got to do. But it's just not me, no more, it's not me anymore.

Speaker 1:

I like more of the fancy places, classy places, people where they, you know, um, they handle themselves pretty well, right, uh, when they do have a little you know drink or two, they manage themselves well. They won't be doing anything extra or be trying to impress people from doing some BS. You know you're just enjoying the music. Maybe you dance here and there. You just enjoy the vibes. You enjoy some good food. That's my vibe. I'm cool with that. I love that vibe actually, actually, because it's um, it's pretty cool, like and it's and it's chill, um, if you want to go on the safe side, yeah, it's safer I guess in that sense, but still pretty, you know it's all right, but not going to, not going to other places where it's crazy, I don't, I don't know man, you can smell uh things that people be smoking in other places. I'm just like damn yo, like I really don't belong here.

Speaker 1:

And when I show up to places like that because of friends or you know they're trying to do something, I'm just like that's not me anymore. Man, I don't think it's ever been me, but definitely now, like Carlos, me nowadays is definitely not me. Let me know if you guys have felt that before, like I don't know if this is part of the growth process or it's just somewhere where you know you shouldn't be in. You know there's things in life that you know you shouldn't be doing and you're just like that. That, to me, is just one of them. I don't know if you can call it conviction at this point, I'm not sure, but it's some type of energy that I feel, that it's just feel I feel uncomfortable, man, but some people thrive in that, and I'm just like that. That.

Speaker 1:

That to me is, is not, it's not a good place, um, uh, to be in. You know, it's not somewhere where I'm like yeah, no, this is a good. No, I don't that, let's, let's not do that. Uh, for example, um, there was this place that we used to go to that it was like a restaurant first back in the day, and then it turned out to like a little dance floor and it wasn't a club necessarily, but it was just, you know, turned into a restaurant and it turns like a little, you know, dance floor that put some music. You got a DJ, but it's good vibes. You know, like this is like, this is what I'm talking about, this is good, this is, this is what I'm talking about, this is good, this is, this is what I'm feeling. But if it's not that, I'm just like no, I don't want none of that, because people go there for the vibes, for the music, to have a good time.

Speaker 1:

And there's other places where you know you're just like dude, you're about to one of those places. I think I had a friend get drugged one time and you know what happened next was just unfortunate. But she got drugged and, um, you know, it's just the type of people that go there. You know you don't want to. Not everybody has the good intentions that you're going with, you know. So you have to be careful. Um, you have to be aware at all times and sometimes when you go out, you kind of don't want to be doing that, you don't want to be doing that, you don't want to be hyper aware all the time. You kind of want to let yourself go and kind of, you know, release some tension, enjoy yourself and enjoy your time. And I think I have spurts in time with my life when it comes to that.

Speaker 1:

There was a point where, when I was really really sick back in 2019 or so or 20, comes to that. There was a point where, when I was really really sick back in 2019 or so or 20, I didn't go out a lot, man, I stayed home, I went to my cousin's place. I used to play video games. Uh, sometimes, and just relax, man, I because, one, well, my health wouldn't really let me, but two, I was like you know, one day I'm gonna end up going out a lot and I'm just gonna do it. So much, um, and I'm gonna have a good time with my friends you know being healthy, having a good time with good people and eventually I did. And for the, you know, from like 2021 to like 23 24, I went out a lot.

Speaker 1:

Bro, people, people that met me, that came into my life in that time period, they're like dude, you always, you always go out, you are always out, and I'm like no, no, no, no, this is just a time period in my life. In that time period, they're like dude, you always go out, you are always out, and I'm like no, no, no, no, this is just a time period in my life. It's not something that I've always done, it's just something that I'm kind of enjoying because I didn't have that for several years. But I'm going out and I'm going out a lot and I'm going out on trips and I'm going out to birthday parties and get together with friends, especially small group friends from church, going out to dinner, doing something after church or doing something on a Tuesday or Friday. I mean, it was, it was a lot.

Speaker 1:

We, we, we were out and the people that met me there in that time period, like, dude, all you do is go out, you always hang out and you always go this and that, and I'm like, no, no, no, you got the wrong Carlos. Right now we're just cause, you know, it's a moment in time, it's a, it's a phase, is a period, and I feel like that has slowed down completely. So if you meet me now and people that will meet me now, they'll be like you don't go out enough, you don't do enough. And I'm like, because I've been taken care of that, I already did what I had to do. You might want to be going out a lot, but that I don't.

Speaker 1:

I can enjoy going out and I can enjoy staying home. Does that make sense? Because to me, staying home is not necessarily being bored. Right, I can do this. I can be creating YouTube content. Right, creating a podcast. I can be playing video games, which I love. I can be practicing the piano. I can just be resting or stretching, because I do stretch a lot, especially my diaphragm and other parts of my body, to try to just at least survive and live comfortably. You know, in our house, thank God, we have a pool in the backyard so we can enjoy that.

Speaker 1:

So the activities that I enjoy, even in watching movies. Sometimes, just when it's raining outside and you're just, you know, you put a movie on, you get some hot chocolate throw it in there. Just what a vibe. I mean, those are immaculate. You know, you tell your friends, couple of friends, come over, let's watch a movie, let's chill, let's talk, vibe it out. Bam, to me that's a great time, that's a great Friday or Saturday, you know, and you know what's funny just thinking about that.

Speaker 1:

I was thinking about, obviously, my future and my future with, like, my spouse or something. I was thinking that if I might need to find somebody on a similar wavelength when it comes to being a homebody I'm not saying I'm a full homebody, I don't like to, no, I like to go out, I like to enjoy myself, I like to meet friends and have a good time. I actually enjoy that a lot. But I can also enjoy myself just as much at home, if that makes sense. I don't know if you guys feel that way, but I just feel comfortable in both scenarios if I need to be. But of course at home is just more comfy, you know. But I feel like my spouse or whoever I marry will probably need to be on a similar wavelength with me.

Speaker 1:

I would want somebody, you know, that understands sometimes it's okay if we don't go out. We can do something at home. We can order takeout, we can watch a movie, maybe we can play some games, have game nights, bro. Game nights are elite Depending on the type of people that you have around your life or that you invite to game night, bro. Game nights are elite, you know, and you have to have those people that actually care about the games and maybe care about winning, because that makes the game more fun, it makes them competitive and people get invested. Obviously, you don't want the people who are just like ah, okay, it's just a game, you know, I'm just no, no, no. You gotta enjoy the vibes, but you also gotta make sure you're in the mix and you're getting competitive with it, because that's the fun part, you know. But even game nights, you know things of that nature those are cool, like, or maybe if we do go out, it doesn't have to be anything crazy, anything excessive. We can just go out for a dinner, go for a walk, go to the park.

Speaker 1:

I'm more of those vibes, more of those chill situations, but that's not all the time. That's not all the time, Don't get me wrong. But if you want to add more weight to it, I lean towards that side of things more than I do the other to it. I lean towards that side of things more than I do the other. And it's not about even being antisocial at all, because, if anything, I'm very social and I thrive in social environments. It's just who I am and that's my personality, who I've been. I love meeting people, I love getting to know people and just talk, you know, and just and just meet new people. You never know when you'll ever run across, uh, um, across them ever again, right, so I think I find it pretty cool.

Speaker 1:

But it's just, I guess, uh, with everything that's going on in my life, I find that more appealing and I was like, man, I need to find somebody who's okay with that. Or sometimes, maybe when I game, you know. So I was thinking more of like a traditional wife, uh, would would be a thing that I would be more interested in. Um, I feel like that's fitting. Uh, more for, for, for what I'm looking for, um, I don't know. You guys, let me think you guys, let me know what you guys think and what you have on that, because, um, of course, I I started having this feeling recently of like you know what it's time to like start settling down, and I've been waiting for that feeling for a while. That's one of the reasons why I've actually stayed single for a long time, because I hadn't had that feeling. But recently, ladies and gentlemen, your boy is trying to get active, and what I mean active is actively, actively, um, trying to maybe find that somebody, that to settle down and maybe trying to to build something and then, you know, live happily ever after, because that's the only way it goes in marriage.

Speaker 1:

It's not like there is a 50% divorce rate in America, by the way. 50 plus percent, I think. It's like 55, close to 60, if I'm not mistaken. Divorce rate. Essentially, I am 32 right now, I believe, if I'm not mistaking, I am 32 right now. I believe, if I'm not mistaking, I would have already gone through my first marriage. Statistically, according to the stats, at my age a lot of people already get divorced and with children. Right, so you might claim being single until 32 years old a success, because I have not been married and I have not been divorced and I've also have not had children that I know of. That I'm aware of. Okay, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, right, but statistically I already went through my first marriage.

Speaker 1:

So congratulations to a lot of us who are single and, by the way, nothing against people who marry early. No, I love that. Do what you gotta do. Live happily ever after, build your family from the get-go. That's a blessing. Good for you. I'm proud of you guys and keep doing what you're doing. Keep thriving.

Speaker 1:

You were not part of the stat, right? All the statistics here in America. So congratulations. But there's the other side that are probably listening or watching, that are probably going to go through the stat, which is also fine, it's okay. It just it wasn't meant to be.

Speaker 1:

You know it didn't work out. You have to do what you got to do and, to be honest, I've always say this man it's better to either move on and maybe try to find happiness that could last you for a long time than staying in the same place where you want to let people pretend that you know you have something happy, but you're not really happy. You're just doing it for the gram. You're doing it for the social media, for the family. I don't feel like that's ever a route to take. If you're not there, they're not there 100%. It's time to start thinking and start making changes.

Speaker 1:

You know, I've always had the philosophy, though, where, like, yeah, I haven't gotten married yet, but I prefer finding that person that I can last you know, 30, 40, 50 plus years, depending on how long God is willing to give us, um, in life. I prefer taking my time finding that person than trying to find my that, that, you know, find that person in my early 20s who I thought they were that but they turn out to be not that, and then you end up getting divorced, which is part of the statistics, right? It's not just me talking, it's just part of the stats. So, if I'm willing to take my time, maybe get experiences out the way, meeting different people Although obviously I guess the range of women changes as you get older, um, what they've gone through, you know, uh, obviously at this age you might mean more single mothers and baby mamas and things of that nature, which is a thing again, nothing all love for baby mamas and single mothers. You do what you have to do, keep grinding, but of course it's something we take into consideration. So a lot of that.

Speaker 1:

Obviously I didn't want to make this a relationship podcast, but it's something that's just been in my mind. It really has been and um, but we'll see. You know God's plan. I've been opening up more to God in that sense and we'll see, uh, when your boy gets um, gets married, and we'll see if you start having kids and stuff like that. That's interesting, man being a dad. Imagine a kid calling you daddy, oh man, yeah, all right, you know what.

Speaker 1:

It might be a good time to start wrapping things up, to start wrapping the podcast up. Wait, let me see if we have anything on Reddit real quick, because I wanted to see if there is anything interesting. I might start doing that recently where I can go to reddit, post and kind of read them and then share my experience. I think that's pretty fun content. I've seen other creators do this, so I was like you know what it'll be good to add to my podcast so it won't be so bland and you know we can like start sharing something, and whatever I see on here, I'll probably end up posting it on the video so you guys can also be, um, uh, be watching it. Unfortunately, obviously, if you're listening through the audio platforms then you might not be able to see it, but, um, some of these things are are pretty funny, um, and, and we'll see, uh, I think I might have to be even more prepared, uh, next time for it.

Speaker 1:

But reddit is funny, man, reddit is very interesting. They post a lot of stuff on there, uh, to be honest. So, um, oh, the guy, the, the guy from the chest uh, what was his name? Give me a second. Let me look him up. He lost today, I think, to somebody else. His reaction, not gonna lie, a little funny. That was a little. Uh, that was a little funny. Though, what's his name? Uh, magnus, yeah, and the guy who beat him was good, gukesh beats magnus and you can tell how happy gukesh was. But as soon as magnus lost, I mean, he smacks and slams the table and then congratulates, but you can see him in special expression. He's really, really upset. I mean, he's been on top for a long time, a very long time.

Speaker 1:

But I think we're going to get into more of these things in the future. We're going to have some more Reddit posts and maybe I'll read them and then get into it because I think it'll be pretty cool. I think it'll be a good time for all of us and then I think we'll like to have some fun. I like laughing and I like reading things and obviously maybe some serious topics. We can get into it because it's cool. So, ladies and gentlemen, thank you guys for listening to my podcast.

Speaker 1:

This was a short episode. Short episode, you know, when you're posting out content every week or content you know, youtube podcasts and episodes all the time. Well, it becomes a? Um. You know you can't always just make one hour episodes. Typically I would if I had. You may be a, a guest, right, or a co-host. It becomes easier to have more topics and discussions, but of course, it's just me right now. I mean myself and I at the moment. So you get to enjoy me. But I am planning on having more people on. Don't get me wrong. We're going to have more people on is just right now. You know it's just. This is the solo part of my podcast. I had so many people on already that eventually I will come on and bring other people, because I've been making plans already to make that happen.
