00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:09.919
Welcome to the Daily Report Card, where every

00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.400
day is a continuous test with no subject. What's

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.260
your answer? What's meaningful? The radical realist.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:21.739
We have to ask ourselves, when are we going to

00:00:21.739 --> 00:00:26.579
take off our specially made lenses to where we

00:00:26.579 --> 00:00:30.559
see the world through our eyes only, and not

00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:39.340
for what it is? With that comes with shredding

00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:44.420
that ego or unnecessary fears that accumulate

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:51.359
in your life and experiences. Very hard. Very

00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.820
free and very lonely. To let you know how insignificant

00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:58.259
you really are when you really think about it.

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.060
However, how big and how significant you are

00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:06.739
to the people that you're around. Whether it

00:01:06.739 --> 00:01:09.819
be your children, your little cousin, your mother.

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:16.620
Just somebody. You're the world to them. Probably

00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:19.980
more than a few. Sometimes you won't even know

00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:23.739
it. Most times because we're too much into our

00:01:23.739 --> 00:01:27.760
own self to even think about how we're affecting

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:42.010
other people. Tough. I thought about this. A

00:01:42.010 --> 00:01:46.930
fly flew in the house and you know I pride myself

00:01:46.930 --> 00:01:56.209
on being able to swap flies quick. I came underneath

00:01:56.209 --> 00:01:59.969
the inspiration of Mr. Miyagi. Karate Kid. More

00:01:59.969 --> 00:02:04.409
so Hey Arnold. The bad thing about that is your

00:02:04.409 --> 00:02:07.760
hands so gooey and gross when you do catch one

00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.680
with your hand. So I prefer to let them back

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:17.699
out the door than just goes to think of when

00:02:17.699 --> 00:02:19.840
you say, he wouldn't hurt a fly. No, I would.

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:26.180
But if I don't have to. Just like when somebody

00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:29.259
does a violent crime, mother's like, my baby

00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:34.039
didn't do nothing. Maybe in your lens. However,

00:02:34.099 --> 00:02:38.900
in the reality, It's very violent. Herding flies.

00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:48.219
And with that, let's start it. Wow, I miss y

00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:57.560
'all. Man, episode 607. Song of the day. No more,

00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.699
Lil Yachty. Love me like you do, Ellie Golden.

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.849
We can't be friends, Ari Grande. ILMB Sheck West.

00:03:07.909 --> 00:03:13.550
Man. 59 playlists. Whoa, guys. And girls. And

00:03:13.550 --> 00:03:23.289
them. Right now is May 14th, 2025. 9 .39 Pacific

00:03:23.289 --> 00:03:30.870
Standard Time. And what I read. So, I'm kind

00:03:30.870 --> 00:03:34.129
of reading two books. I always love it when you

00:03:34.129 --> 00:03:35.969
can have a storybook and then a book where you're

00:03:35.969 --> 00:03:38.849
actually going to learn something. So storybook

00:03:38.849 --> 00:03:41.009
is The Long White Con, The Big Score of His Life

00:03:41.009 --> 00:03:45.889
by Iceberg Slim. And the book we're learning

00:03:45.889 --> 00:03:48.110
something is called Objections by Jeb Blunt.

00:03:48.930 --> 00:03:53.110
And just even reading the first chapter, I always

00:03:53.110 --> 00:03:56.810
like reading sales books because whatever you

00:03:56.810 --> 00:04:00.860
think that you're doing, you're in sales. And

00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:03.620
so this book is just about getting past the no.

00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.360
And the first chapter was just simply about confidence

00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:12.080
and shutting up when you've gotten the win. Very

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:18.240
key. What was I physically at today? You know,

00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:24.060
the thing about the idea of getting on and off

00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:33.610
a bike is that It's the getting back started

00:04:33.610 --> 00:04:36.970
part, that first immediate, which hurts you from

00:04:36.970 --> 00:04:40.009
getting back on that bike. We're back working

00:04:40.009 --> 00:04:43.269
out. It took about two and a half, almost three

00:04:43.269 --> 00:04:47.470
weeks off, basically, for one reason or another.

00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:51.029
And the hardest part was really just getting

00:04:51.029 --> 00:04:56.410
back in there. And two days ago did shoulders

00:04:56.410 --> 00:05:00.610
and yesterday did legs. So it's back. And it

00:05:00.610 --> 00:05:08.149
hurt. I'm happy. That. All of the strides. That

00:05:08.149 --> 00:05:12.209
were made. From the consistency. And when I fell

00:05:12.209 --> 00:05:15.610
off. I felt weaker. However. Still got to keep

00:05:15.610 --> 00:05:25.069
going. And also. The finished. 15th fast of the

00:05:25.069 --> 00:05:29.290
year. Goal of 36. For the year. Three in a month.

00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:33.920
I've always thought about when people go on hunger

00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.839
strikes and Ramadan and just the essence of sacrifice

00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.839
and community. But for me, it's why does it have

00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:48.560
to be once in a grand time in the year? We need

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.680
to experience that frequently. And it also will

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.980
control us, our gluttony, our want. And also,

00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:01.480
I feel it gives. me a sense of responsibility,

00:06:01.660 --> 00:06:11.779
a sense of appreciation of scarcity and control

00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:18.459
of intake and weight. So, not easy. But again,

00:06:18.540 --> 00:06:22.220
from my meditations, believe in yourself before

00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:28.120
you believe anything else. What did I succeed

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:36.680
at today? I would say. Just being that shoulder.

00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.759
And being a listening ear. Sometimes when we

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:41.439
think that we're being a listening ear. We're

00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.519
doing most of the talking. We're making it about

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.120
ourselves. Instead of actually listening and

00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.319
being there. So I thought I did. Success in doing

00:06:51.319 --> 00:07:01.430
that. And. Not letting. Past failures make today's

00:07:01.430 --> 00:07:07.029
decision. And when it comes to specifically working

00:07:07.029 --> 00:07:11.310
out or reading a book, having worked out in a

00:07:11.310 --> 00:07:14.149
couple weeks, having read in a couple days, that

00:07:14.149 --> 00:07:16.430
doesn't mean that you can't start today. That

00:07:16.430 --> 00:07:18.389
doesn't mean that whatever that you want to do

00:07:18.389 --> 00:07:20.709
to make yourself more productive and positive,

00:07:20.850 --> 00:07:23.089
if you haven't done it for a while, you can do

00:07:23.089 --> 00:07:30.250
it today! Period. I'm no different. I fall off

00:07:30.250 --> 00:07:37.810
the wagon. We're human. What made me smile today?

00:07:40.370 --> 00:07:47.689
Just quiet moments of watching NBA playoffs last

00:07:47.689 --> 00:07:51.930
night and during that time the fam just knocked

00:07:51.930 --> 00:07:54.589
out. Fell asleep pretty much for the rest of

00:07:54.589 --> 00:08:00.089
the night. Just having that moment, knowing that

00:08:00.089 --> 00:08:03.990
I was there for them, knowing that I did all

00:08:03.990 --> 00:08:07.529
I could. And they were happy and comfortable

00:08:07.529 --> 00:08:14.990
and downright tired. So I actually thought about

00:08:14.990 --> 00:08:16.569
making an episode, but then I just wanted to

00:08:16.569 --> 00:08:20.949
stay in that moment and be there with them. And

00:08:20.949 --> 00:08:24.069
then to see them wake up and get their maul ready

00:08:24.069 --> 00:08:28.319
and send them out into the world. It was a beautiful

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.740
thing. Really beautiful thing. And even though

00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:35.480
that's such a normal thing, such an everyday

00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:40.600
thing, it's such a thing that should be cherished

00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.759
and thought of and reminded of your mortality

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:49.700
and the little things that are important. You

00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:58.269
could die today. And what did you leave? Who

00:08:58.269 --> 00:09:01.309
will think about you? What will they remember?

00:09:06.750 --> 00:09:13.029
What do I think of my day of raw? Humbling. Reality.

00:09:15.429 --> 00:09:21.370
Hard work. Fulfilled. And that's what matters.

00:09:22.669 --> 00:09:27.740
What grade do I give myself? I'm going to go

00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:34.360
to A minus. I know I did all I could and I addressed

00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:38.240
every part of my being. My physical self. My

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:46.659
mental self. My spiritual self. And being present

00:09:46.659 --> 00:09:50.899
in all the versions of myself. The father me.

00:09:50.980 --> 00:09:53.120
The husband me. The friend me. The cousin me.

00:09:53.220 --> 00:10:01.190
The son me. The uncle me. It's hard. That's the

00:10:01.190 --> 00:10:05.649
human experience. And that's why we have to take

00:10:05.649 --> 00:10:10.789
off those biased lenses as much as we can, see

00:10:10.789 --> 00:10:14.570
the beauty, but also see the insignificance of

00:10:14.570 --> 00:10:18.090
us to know the significance of our little world

00:10:18.090 --> 00:10:22.190
that we have in this great giant universe that

00:10:22.190 --> 00:10:26.830
there really is. And with that, we'll see you

00:10:26.830 --> 00:10:27.389
next time.
