Hold on.
How do I make this money that you're talking of?
Tell you how you do it. Welcome. Welcome to another episode of the Real White House podcast edition. I am here with my two older kids. We have five kids together. And here we go. Like, the intent of this show is honestly to. We've built kind of an incredible, crazy life. I say it's normal but abnormal. And when we sit back and look about what we've created, it was not on accident but very intentional. So we kind of have felt inspired. Everybody has a podcast, but I'm like, very few people actually do a podcast with their family. And I was like, let's give it a go. So every week we're going to kind of touch base, tell you guys, like, what we're up to, because like I said, we live a very abnormal but yet normal life. My kids are building some massive shit. Even the little two year olds are doing some massive shit. We got two to two to 24. Are you 24?
Yeah.
Oh, my God, you're two to 24. So we've got a wide variety of activities going on. So we're going to start the show just kind of telling you what we're up to and then we're going to move into a topic. What's our topic today?
Kids Parenting and discipline. And what our children's experience of being disciplined. Yeah, Parker got a different experience. Hey, you have a sandwich. Sandwich.
Well, that's fine. Well, we're gonna start. We're gonna start not with you and your sandwich.
You eat your sandwich and listen, we'll start with Parker. So, Parker, discipline first.
Before we get there, we've already talked about update.
Like what you're doing updates. We didn't talk about this one.
Then we're going into the topic.
All right, all right.
So, Parker, tell us who you are, what you do. Tell us a little bit about next gen and why you started it.
Yeah, so for those of you crazies that are watching this and don't know me by now, shame on you. But that being said, my name is Parker White. I am the oldest of the siblings, but yet I didn't necessarily grow up with all of you at the start. But now being part of the family for the last five years has been absolutely amazing. I currently run a company where I help young men post divorce or going through divorce be able to gain confidence and certainty in who they are through their habits and routines and also the standard of living that they decide for themselves. This ultimately unlocks freedom for the young man and allows for the parent to actually have freedom in supporting the son instead of always having to bash on him. And so in my program, I take students from ages 14 to 22 and allow them to learn a system of living that ultimately creates a life that they desire to live, which ultimately gets them out of bed early, gets them doing their fitness, their relationships, their spirituality, and ultimately owning their life when it comes to school and seeing the importance of their actions that they take outside of the home.
What's been your biggest case study? Like, what have you?
My biggest case study was taking a kid that was on probation, having him win his whole court case all dropped, like, charges dropped. And he's now working out fully. His mom's in tears, texting me about how well he's doing. He's dropped all his old toxic friends and is now just on the straight and narrow. He just got a job that's going to pay him almost like 100k a year.
How'd he find you?
And he was making no money at all. He was, he was like, he was about to get charged, like, almost two years in jail.
Oh, wow.
And now he's. Now he's on the right path. And now he's like, actually getting a job that he's proud of. And his mom can't even believe what happened in the last.
How did he find you?
Through social media.
Oh, cool.
So just finding me through my content and just the conversations of divorce and just being able to see that, like, young men are struggling. And at the end of the day, I think that most people feel like they're alone. And then the second that they get in conversation with me, they realize that, okay, these problems are not abnormal to have. And watching me have the strength to make the moves that I make in my life allows them permission to do the same for themselves.
And it's probably cool too, because you're not like, you're young, you know, you're like. So they almost feel like a safe place to come and talk to, where it's like, you're not. It's not like you dealt with this shit 10 years ago. It's like a new game. So you're kind of like, still in that game with them, so you can probably, like, relate. Probably feels like a safe place for them to. And you're like, dude, I'm in it. Like, for me, when I'm coaching, it's like I'm really coaching myself too.
Yep.
You know?
Well, like, I was like last night, for instance, I'm like sitting there, I played like a Couple games of FIFA like a normal kid does. And then I'm like, I meal prep, do my stuff, and then I'm up texting one of my guys at like one in the morning, and I'm like, yo, like, he's just going back and forth me. And his response back. I actually put on my story. He was like, the value that I'm getting is way beyond what you charge. Like three to four times what you charge. I'm surprised you're still, like, charging me only 500amonth. But he's a 21 year old who pays his own. Like, pays for his coaching by himself, not his parents. And I was like, bro, like, it's all you. Like, the growth that you've been doing. And just through conversation, because he goes through a rough time. And then I just reframe it because I'm like, bro, it's not worth struggling. It's not worth sitting in that mind frame. Like, right? If you're letting go of something, it's for something greater, not a loss. And I've kind of looked at life that way recently in the last, like, three weeks. And, I mean, I love life right now. I'm so like you.
You've had a lot. You've had a lot of change the last year.
I'm still on fire.
Let's talk about. Let's roll down the big decision. Hey, babe.
She good?
Yeah, you good? Can you be here on the show? Okay, let's roll down.
We had.
We had what I consider to be the big three. Three big decisions made by Parker in the last month put you on a trajectory. Decision number one. You know which one it was? Talk to me.
Yeah, it was my car.
Talk to us about the car. Stallion. You and mom went behind my back and did some cool.
Well, first off, you were paying for a car that you weren't driving for over a year. And I was like, you gotta. You gotta. You gotta talk about this. Talk about this.
Yep.
All right, so roll it down.
That was classic. No, I was paying for a car that didn't work. It was illegal. I couldn't drive it. If I drove it, I probably would have got towed and impounded. But I made a decision to go to the dealership and negotiate a deal to where I was only paying an extra 100 bucks a month to be able to have a car that's brand new off the lot, seven miles on it. And, yeah, it took like nine hours of negotiation. I was going to end up taking your help. And then I got in one conversation with Mom. Mom's like, fuck Dad's help. Go do it on your own.
I was like, take no for an answer.
Like, be a man. Are you not a leader of the movement here?
I'm like, exactly how I said it, but I'm glad you heard it that way.
I love it because I'm like, I always put the extreme right. Like, I'm always like, okay, here's what mom told me. And me in a way nicer way than what I say. But I just. That's the way I think about it. And it, like drives me. So, yeah, I ended up getting a new car that works perfectly. It changed my whole mentality.
But how awesome did you feel that you got it on your own? I was like, parker, you can do this. Like you. Yeah. Like you can tap into dab. But like, there's something more. Like, no, I don't need your help. I got this.
It was my first man move, I call it. It's like, I didn't help from anyone. I got it on my own. I negotiated the deal on my own. I paid for it on my own. Yeah, yeah. It was a 2023 BRZ. And yeah.
I'm just putting it out there. I'm just putting a little fuck yeah in there. Let's rewind the tape though.
Why?
Because 2019.
Yep.
I had bought my Lamborghini Aventador in 2017. Silver, red interior, sold it. Worst decision ever. It was like selling my child into slavery. The worst decision I've ever made. Second to worst decision, selling my G Wagon, reverse, both of those was first worst decision. Not showing up in your life for 10 years.
Isn't that funny about the fucking worst?
But that's what I'm saying. So we go down to the dealership, the Subaru. I co sign with Parker. Watch how fucked up this is. I co sign with Parker with the intention to help build his credit because he's coming from Canada, has no U.S. credit. He's got a U.S. passport, he's got a U.S. social Security number, he's got no fucking credit. Literally nothing. It's just zeros. Pulled his name up. It's like air doesn't exist.
Yep.
So I was like, all right, I'm going to co sign with him on the car. It was a perk for being working at Warrior. We find out the end of three years, you get nothing. No credit. Because they're not reporting the payments under.
Parker's name, putting in their dad's name.
For three years, he gets no credit. Like, the only reason we did this was to build his credit and he got zero credit.
Did you tell them that?
I'm confident I did. No, we did.
We did.
I'm confident you didn't.
But listen, at this point, maybe I didn't. I don't know. All I know is that's why when I heard mom, like, had messaged me and was like, parker's, Parker's, Parker, Parker's getting a car. Da da da da da. And Jeff had messaged me. I didn't see anything because I wasn't running an event. So, like, I FaceTime you thinking, I'm going to like, do what's up? You get in a car, you need like some money, like, what's happening? Talk to me. And you're like, I already got it. What was it like being able to lock that down for yourself?
That was nice because I knew you were calling to try to provide solutions and I had already figured out the problem. So I was like, yeah, it was like this moment of just like, yeah, like, I don't need you. And look at this brand new car that I just got. Like, yes.
Like, you're like, I'd sell my left leg, but I don't need you.
And I actually didn't, though. That's the thing. And building out of that, I've never had to make the moves we talked about. I never had to make any moves of sacrificing anything.
Right.
And I've built my way out of that hole that I put myself in already.
Do you know the key principle in the story and why I love it is I think that often times people tell themselves a story for so long that they're paying on a card that they don't ever use because they have a story.
Yep.
And I'm like, you need to go entertain a different option. You don't even know if that's your reality. That's just your story. And I have found myself in stuck in so many times in my life based on that. I'm like, is that really truth? Well, I don't really know. So let's entertain this option and if it is true, then then it's true. But like nine out of ten times you're like, oh, okay, I was tolerating this, but really I could have done this a long time ago.
Yeah. And like, how much you can get stuck in the story. So, like, I was stuck that I couldn't do anything about it. And then it was actually funny because, like, I made some sales that week and then that's what opened it up for Me, but, like, up fronting, all of that. I mean, I upfront, like, eight grand, I think, up front, and, like, negotiated a rollover of, like, two grand onto the new car. But, like, the payment didn't change. Nothing changed. It was just fucking perfect. So I was like, okay, good. That was first move. Then the second move was pause.
Let's get BAE involved in this conversation. All right, good. So, bae.
Sorry, guys. I'm having some things.
Talk to us. You don't need to give us details. Talk to us about what it's like being a teenage girl today. Because, like, I missed.
I don't want to steal his.
You don't? No, no, no. We're just interrupting. We're going to keep people anticipating. It's like old school Sports center when you had to wait till the end of the news to watch sports. Now you can just BINGE Watch it 24 hours a day. You used to have to wait for that. Now it's just instant gratification. That's one change. Another change is how kids are dealing with relationships as teenagers. Talk to us, bae.
What is going on?
It's a mess.
What did I miss?
You don't need give any names. You don't need to make any sense.
We're not going to talk about it until later with me and you.
Okay?
But it's a generality.
My relationship is great. I love my boyfriend. He's sexy.
So what is it like, then, being in a healthy relationship while you watch not necessarily friends, but you just watch other young. Let me just try to navigate that.
Let me just say, because I don't want to personally talk about what's going on, but I will say that being a female in the world that we live in right now is really cool and also sucks dick because.
Literally, like.
Well, that's the woman world, I guess.
Sorry. Coming from two guys in the room, I mean, I just don't know what.
To do with that.
You know, being a woman today, it's really great. And it also sucks dick. Like, you're not wrong.
Well, depending on who you ask, that's actually a good thing.
So, anyways, anywho, no, but, like, let's.
Use a different statement to try to emphasize that 1.
Sucks clip, sucks clip.
Probably not the last meeting. I'm like, ladies, you're just gonna have to take it up the ass.
There you go.
But not for too long.
That's a little painful.
And then they're like, really?
And I was like, sorry.
Too far. Too far.
Boy, we're on. We're on one today, I told Weston that if we didn't get this T shirt, these T shirts printed in time for the event on Wednesday, he'd have to fly here and blow everybody at the T shirt shop. And he was super quiet. He didn't say anything. And I was. This is so against, like, normal hiring procedures.
And then later, could I talk to hr?
We have our team meeting. We're doing updates. And he goes, good news. I'm here to report I'll be sucking no dick this week. T shirts will be here by Tuesday. And the rest of the team has no idea what he's talking about. And we're like. I'm, like, laughing our ass up. And they're like, what the fuck? And then Mark, who's our newest team member, he came from traditional corporate America to Warrior.
He's.
No, he didn't resign. He leans in heavy. He's the one doing mushrooms with this the first week he worked for. But he's, like, sitting there talking to me. He's like, dude, this is the coolest company I've ever worked for in my life. You guys are crazy. All right, so bae, come back to this.
Being a female, basically. Let's just say the whole generation C is a bunch of. And they all got mommy issues and daddy issues and mental health issues and issues with figuring out sexuality and issues with figuring out spirituality, and it's just a big shit show. And so, like, everyone is very confuzzled because we also have your brain, because social media. I saw this thing the other day, and I realized it's so true. This guy did, like, a bunch of sad slideshows, and I started feeling sad, and I was like, oh, my God. Like, I started creating all these anxiety problems in my head. And the last slide was, notice how you just got sad? Because I did a TikTok that was, like, had, like, the sad energy, whatever. And he goes, social media literally creates problems in your brain that you didn't have before just because you're seeing them constantly. So then you think you should have those problems. I was like, that happens you to. To me a lot. So I think whether you want to say it's social media that caused things like this or, like, if it's just the generation being more aware of, like, mental health or if it's, like, now sexuality is such an open thing, which means then there's so much more open room to have conversations about how people actually feel about it and how they feel.
Less morals, though. It's almost like there's so much up Here there's less morals, there's less standing in, like, this is who I am.
I would say, I would say it has.
Everything's open minded because you're morality way down, your morals have gone down and nobody knows should I stand for this or this? And they're letting social media dictate what they should stand for. And it's just this. It's a confused place.
But as we, as adults, we can handle it. But for kids, like, continue with being a teenager in this because I don't know, like, from an adult perspective, we're like a calmness.
How do you discern between, like, that's just fucking noise. And this is who I am. Because I actually think, Bailey, you have this. You have what I have, which is this groundedness about you. Like, you're like an old soul where, like you can kind of like, it's not that you're not affected by the noise, but you know who you are. Does that make sense?
Yeah.
So tell us more. We'll stop asking and making comments. And Parker's chomping at the bit over here. So you share. And then we'll have Parker add in his, his, his excitement.
Well, you're also a millennial, so you gotta share the millennial. Like, you're like a young millennial. So you're like Gen Z. You're a Gen Z millennial. So that means you get the older experience of the Gen Z and the youngest experience of the millennial, which is funny.
I'm an old millennial.
I'm just badass. Gen X, we fucking run this bitch. Continue.
Yeah, I didn't even know what your generation was called.
Gen X, we run this.
I'm the last year of millennials. And last year in the 19th century.
We'Re gonna run this country for the next 25 years.
All right, so basically, it's gonna be a fun time when the gays become president.
So not under my watch. Yeah. Why?
Citizenship?
No, there's no need for that snarky little comment.
There's no need.
I hope you know I'm writing a song and there's a lyric in it that says, the girls in the G rule this. Anyways, basically.
And by that do you mean like the gay bars? That's what they roll. All right, continue.
Okay. Don't talk about us like that.
Off.
I accept.
No, actually, wait. I have something to say.
We don't have to. We don't have to go that way.
You can't tease and throw because you don't know what it's like, to experience going through that.
Going through what?
Going through figuring out sexuality. That's gonna make me cry.
No, no.
It was. It was a dark day when I was 13 years old, and I looked down one time and I was like, oh, God, I'm a man. It was a very confusing time for me.
You didn't know you were a man?
I know. People were telling me you could like men, and, I mean, I didn't know if that was okay. And at the end of the day, I'm like, I'll just stop joking.
So I didn't know. I was like, dude, are you being serious right now?
I was like, you can see right through my bullshit.
I was waiting for the joke.
I was like, wait a second.
I was gon real off the deep end with that one. And then I was like, your mom.
Your mom would never have authorized that behavior. You barely could skid your car around the corner without losing your vehicle for a month.
If I had my car. Yeah.
Okay, so I'm like, listen, I'm not trying to pretend like, I. I understand. I don't. So you do a great job of kind of owning the middle.
But I. I'm just saying jokes once in a while. Like, they don't. They're not, like, offensive to me personally as a human being. But, like, constantly making digs at it is really frustrating.
Hold on, let her finish.
Because it's like, you weren't there when I wanted to, like, off myself because I couldn't figure it out. So it's just frustrating sometimes to, like, hear digs at it. Even though, yeah, I'm, like, fluid with my sexuality and I have a boyfriend, it's still really invalidating. And it's frustrating. Like, even when I first, like, told you guys about it, you guys just didn't, like. Like, you kind of just brushed it off. And, like, I was little, but it's like, it's really annoying that you guys, like, make digs all this fucking time. And I'm just. It's like. It's, like, annoying. Like, it's not funny and it's not cool, and you're not a cooler person and you don't stand more on your own values because you're saying these digs, they don't make you a better person. They don't make your points more valid or your opinion is more valid. Everyone's opinion is just as valid as every. Anyone else's because it's your own individual opinion. So you don't need to make these digs constantly. And I'm also about to start my period.
All right, that was me last week when me and dad did a podcast. I cried. But here's what I'll say though too. I think it's like when we were raised, it wasn't a question like when we were very strict Mormon too. So if you even had those thoughts of like questioning your sexuality, it was like you felt guilty for even those thoughts and so you just like, shut it down. So even as a teen, if you're like, maybe I like girls, I don't know. It was like immediately like, no, shut down. There's no entertainment. So now it's almost like you're weird if you don't question your sexuality, if you don't entertain that option, then you're weird for saying, like, I'm straight or whatever it is. So I don't, I don't have a problem with, with gays, lesbians. I have no problem. I feel like I'm pretty actually open minded to it. I experience people for who they are to kind of for who they are.
You kind of also have to cause your, your job.
Everyone says that, but I know I'm in the hair industry, but honestly, like, I see people for who they are. Like, I just, that's who I am. I remember when I was telling you the other day when the whole Black Lives Matter thing was going on and I looked at my training team and I was like, this is the first time that I realized I'm the only white person on my team. I never saw anybody for anybody than who they are. And I was like, I only noticed it when that came up. So although I have my beliefs and I'm obviously straight, I don't look down on anybody who has, who has that as their calling or their path. I know that everybody is individually designed and that they, they should live the life that they feel free in. And if that means you're with a man or a woman or whatever, if that makes you feel free, then that's your calling.
So, like, we want to what's interesting, right? So you make a comment, when the gays and girls around the world and gay's gonna be a president, how is that any different than me saying not on my watch? Meaning if somebody says, well, a gay is going to be president, and I say a gay is not going to be president, aren't those both just two opinions? And why can't my opinion of a gay is not going to ever be president be any less valid than a gay saying gays are going to be president?
It's not. It's just personally knowing you, you make digs all the time that are irrelevant and not needed. So it's not that specific dig that I'm referring to. It's just in general, in the household or there's just like, you know, I.
Don'T have any digs about gays.
I know you don't have anything against gays.
I've never had any problem with gays, ever. I've never had a problem with gay. I've never had a problem with lesbians. I've never had a. I've never had a problem with lesbians. No, I'm saying. I'm saying the chance of a president becoming a person becoming president of the United States.
He's the oldest generation, though that could happen.
I'll be dead. Not under my watch. I'm just telling you that one. It's not gonna happen either. It's not gonna happen.
Yes, it is.
It's not gonna happen. No matter how much Hollywood bombards the game. Men run this country, men run the money. Women can do all they want. And what they say they want, what they do.
Even men are nothing without women.
I'm not saying women are not powerful. I'm not saying they're changing. I'm sure they are and they are changing. You got a lot of weak fucking guys. But I'm just telling you right now, women do not be better than the.
Puppet that we have going on right now.
Listen, the president is a totally different conversation.
He's fallen in the stairs. He falls up the stairs. Who falls up the stairs?
Takes talent.
But to say a woman or a gay person can't be present. I'm like, we got a puppet. So any. Anything's possible.
Oh, you got a good point. That's a good point. We could put a gay puppet.
It could be stronger. Woman or anything could be stronger than what we have going on.
Well, we're no longer in a. We're no longer in a country where this has anything to do with elections and presidents.
Right?
We're being controlled by money that is power hungry, by stuff that's beyond any of our ability to understand or comprehend. So here's what I would say. I love you.
I love you.
And I'm sorry because when you started, we're going through all that. I had no ability to listen or hear or understand. Most nights I was drunk on vodka, trying to survive my own fucking darkness and dealing with darkness all day long with people. And what. I didn't worry. Like, I just didn't have the tools to deal with it. You don't have the tools to deal with it. We didn't have the tools to deal with it. So I didn't understand. It was new for me even at that time. Even like I'd been working for years just to be open about gay, gay. Like you're not raised in an environment. Like, it's interesting because I want you to imagine like you're in the environment you are now. I want you to come to the far other side.
All that's what I'm saying is like.
But all gays and lesbians go to hell. Homosexuality is of the devil in the Mormon view. But in Christianity, in the Bible, biblical teachings speak that homosexuality is a fall from grace and from God and you are of the devil.
They say that. And also the Bible, it does say that. Like taken up into your own opinion.
I understand that, but. But I just want. But I just want you to say the Bible says homosexuals go to hell.
And Mormons also say anyone else who is.
I know, but just. I know, but just. But I want you to imagine this is the contrast, right? So watch you from the frame you're in right now. I want you to imagine making the arc clear over to lgbtq, abcd, whatever else, all those letters, hell.
Okay.
From where you are taking a stand. I believe in Christ. Everyone in Alphabet soup goes to hell. They're all violating God's law. That jump to that place is as severe a jump as you're asking me to make to come clear over to full open acceptance of LGBTQs, whatever. That's the jump. So I want you to look at it. The gays and lesbians expect society to make a jump that arcs this way, but they don't even attempt to arc this direction.
But you're stereotyping. Not everyone does for sure.
But the problem is your people don't control your people, which means a few minority of the voice representing those people are. And those people are shoving down the throat of conservative Americans that don't want it. And no one in that culture is policing those people because of social justice.
But that's not true because on Tick Tock, there's this one person who is a transgendered female and they make videos of them getting really frustrated with workers, service people, not using their pronouns.
Right?
And then there's this gay guy who I follow, who is extremely Republican, very right minded, Florida gay, and he goes, flatburn hat. I don't know.
Yeah, there's only about two of them in there.
No, there's a Lot. No, there's actually.
They're all from Florida, too.
They love it.
And they're all Latin.
And he's.
Oh, he meant he's Latin and he's from Florida. I know. Exactly. Yeah. And he's hilarious.
And he was like, girl, tell you this.
You check this out. My people are crazy. I've told you, they're crazy. I don't follow any of this shit. Yeah, I love him. He's great.
No, I think we're talking about different people. But this guy, he was just basically like, dude, this is like, not. He was just. He just shut it down real quick and was just like, you're just being a victim. You're not being like. Like, of someone who actually, like.
Yeah.
Wants things to change. You're just being a victim instead of trying to.
Like, there's, like, attention seeking and then there's like, this is like, who I am.
There's a flip that's happening, Parker.
I'm saying it's not everyone.
Sure. I want Parker to be this, too, on this idea, because you're kind of in the gap with you two. And I want you two to see this from our side as parents, because what's happening, and you can speak it from the male side, what's happened is we've gone from male dominance, which are some dark. Without that. Not going to say women should have gotten a vote, all these things. Yeah, I understand. But now we've gone all the other way. Do you know who is at the top of the hit list? As much as all of the gays and transgenders want to feel bad about themselves, do you know. Want to know who's at the top of the hit list? Me and your brother. White, Caucasian, conservative heterosexual men. We are now the target. We are the worst. We are the problem. We are toxicity. We are the new. I'm going to say some shit's going to make people pissed. We have become and are quickly becoming the new transgender, the new black. The new Whatever. Yeah, I said it. We're becoming all of it. Do you know what? Black men even say this to me? Black men I do business with, bro. Good luck. You're next. We're still gonna always be black, but where you're going, everybody hates you. Lesbians, gays, straight, Asian, Latino, black, brown. Doesn't matter. White heterosexual men.
I don't believe that.
Statistics already prove. I don't know.
That's just the social. That's just the direction. Social media can spend anything to attack whoever they want.
That's why that's why? Almost four years ago everything was spinned against black people. That's why three years this year it's been against trans the year before gays. This year is four supercars in the.
Garage and we live in a twenty million dollar house. I, I just don't feel.
You have to understand.
Your dad actually figured out how to fight.
I know, I don't care.
Yeah, but I'm just saying you have to understand like privilege in this world, whether it's their straight, whether it's their white, whether it's their religion.
I don't know.
Like everyone has a pro and con to everything about their life. So saying that is just like there's not a next something. It's just you have a situation that you go through.
Everybody's going to feel attacked. Women feel attacked, Men feel attack. We are in a world where everyone wants a say on everything. Everyone wants a group, everyone. I'm like, well, I'm a woman, I'm this, I'm that.
Well, you're white.
Dudes have.
Why can't heterosexual Christian men who are white have an opinion?
You can so can never know.
And everybody says we can't have an opinion.
You can for your, for your niche. Everyone loves it. They're like, yeah, Garrett and Park, you guys rock.
That's just because we have one of these going on.
Okay, can I, can I ask something then? So America has a day.
Has a what?
Pride has a month.
Okay.
Actually does have a month. It's men's mental health awareness month.
Where's that talking in November? There's one in November. What's also in November? Oh, what's also in November. Go check your social media.
Look at this. No.
Interesting. So many posts.
Pride.
All these. Forget Men's mental health month. Interesting.
The more we go down that same month of pride.
Okay, yeah, that's right. There is June is men's mental health. But you guys also have a whole other thing in November. I know that for a few fact.
I don't see anyone talking about it.
Do women get a day?
Well then you guys should talk about it more because guys get about their feelings. If you guys actually wanted your day to be prevalent or your month to.
Be, you know what it is, then.
You should talk about it more. Talk about your feelings.
It's hard. There's too many flag parades going on with dudes that are half drastic.
Too many guys who are insecure to share their emotions. That's why you guys don't feel like you have a day.
Yeah, but my feelings have to Be louder than that community's feelings. No, they don't.
You just go for your own niche.
Well, that's true, and I'm glad that's.
Not what gays and lesbians are doing. They're not going for their own.
They're caring for their.
We're here. We're clear. We're coming for your kids. We're here. We're clear. We're coming for your kids. Go yourself. I. You don't hear straight dudes saying, we're here. Go yourself. We're turning you back straight. We're here. Go yourself. We're turning you back straight. Not a lot.
You know what I realized? Guess what the theme is for 2024.
What?
Go yourself.
No, everybody.
I'm a bad.
Everybody wants to be hurt. Everybody's hur. Seriously, across the board, everybody wants to be heard, and everybody's hurting. So in a world full of, like, so much noise, people just want to be hurt even more. And everybody has a story and everybody's hurting. So what if you flip the narrative and it's like, okay, yeah, like, we can deal with the past, and the past is what is. But, like, where are you at right now? Are you hurting? Am I hurting? Looking at the. The Pacific Ocean, sitting in my 20 million dollar house.
Yeah, not really watching that seagull shit in my pool right now.
My point is, is. Is when you get. The problem is people think they're in pain based off how much they're sucked into the media. And I'm like, yeah, take a second to sit back. I don't care if you have an ocean view or if you're on a walk with your dog. Like, just take a minute to appreciate life right now. Literally, everybody's hurting, and it's like, are you. Do you need. You're. Are you caught? Are you inflicting pain? Do you need to be that depressed? Do you need to be in that much pain? Whenever I get in that space in myself, I'm like, this is stupid. I'm in charge of my own feelings. I need to get out of this funk because it doesn't serve me. It doesn't serve anybody else. It's very victim mentality and it doesn't work. So I get it. Everyone's hurting. But it's like, cool. Let's figure out how to appreciate where you're at and focus on that.
I want to hear from you too. So let's go. You two are talking for that.
Can I say one thing really quick?
You and Parker dialoguing this whole thing out right now.
I have to say one thing about this and then dialogue just. And that's why in the music world it's so hard is because there's so many people with feelings and pain and hurt that they've been through that it's hard. It's so hard because the music industry is turning into a bunch of little niches instead of the big people and then the A, B and C listers. You know, it's now, like, every single person is a specific niche, which is really cool. But also at the same time, like, I'm trying to be a mainstream huge artist. And like, it's hard because you have to figure out a way. Way to write your feelings in a clever way that are still relatable, but.
Also do it better than everybody else and empowering, too. Yeah.
And you're doing it.
Yeah. And you got to convince a generation that's lost and helpless and doesn't give a about themselves on how to be able to do that.
Yeah.
Because that's the example you're showing for them.
Yeah.
And I think that, like, even with society, everything like this, I'm just like, I. I hit this it moment in the last, like, four weeks.
Weeks.
I don't care if I don't understand. I don't understand. Don't care to understand. Like, am I going to understand a woman's world? Nope. Don't. Not going to try. Yeah.
Why should you?
As far as I'm concerned, what she's saying, what she's saying, 100% truth. Why I don't have the mental energy to try to figure it out. Don't care anything. Like, cool. I used to try to be that guy. And I used to in my Kobe and everything in my, like, analytics on, like, my personality.
You're also not in a relationship right now, so you have the ability to do that.
Yeah. And I'm still in it some amazing. So I'm having a great time right now. And like, at the same time, though, like, I'm seeing that there were so many things I wanted to try to understand that I had no ability to understand anyways.
Yeah.
Like, I'm not gonna be able to understand your world. I'm not gonna be able to understand. Bailey's right. I'm not a woman. I don't have your problems, so I don't care. You say that we. You girls go left. Cool, bro. That sounds good. Don't care. Guys go right. Like, cool. Because the more that I'm sitting, putting, I'm. I'm putting More focus around the things I can actually control and understand, the less I'm being distracted by the. That doesn't matter.
Right.
Because me trying to understand a woman's world is not going to do anything for me except for trying to understand the women in my life, not women as a whole.
Right.
I don't care about personalities. I care about Bailey.
Yeah.
How does Bailey operate? How does mom operate? Yeah. Other than that, don't give a. About the Karen bitching about the white kids up in the Strands parking lot. Like, who gives a. Like I don't care. And so like, I stopped wasting time doing that. I stopped wasting time trying to figure out problems that aren't mine to solve. So like half the time I find kids are on social media. Oh, we need to save this. And. And what. What does that actually mean?
I agree.
They're looking for purpose. Everybody is looking for purpose. And a lot of times they don't realize they're doing it through feeding drama.
Yeah.
It's so. They don't know because it's like there's like a new there people. People start trending. Like Gypsy Rose, the girl who like was in second degree murder and like stuff she comes out of. The story is interesting as a little bit. Do you know it? Okay. Basically, don't even go down that rabbit hole. Long story short, this. So this girl, her mom basically abused her as a child and basically like told her she was sick and gave her dog pills to make her paralyzed. And then she like all this like took five years off her life, changed her birth certificate, took out all of.
Her teeth, told her she was like three years younger than she was.
Made her like being special diets get.
Like 30 sign a thing where you like, what is it? Where you give away basically all your rights here.
Yeah.
Jeez.
Yeah.
Like craziness.
Long story short, basically when she gets older, she gets a boyfriend and then the boyfriend murders the mom.
She talks to the boyfriend who is quite mentally challenged. Mentally challenged. She gets him to kill her mom goes to jail for 10 years. She just got out. Yeah.
So she got out recently. This past like two weeks, she has over 3 million, 4 million. Like, I think it's 6 million now.
She has 7.8 million followers.
The good news is her husband's super fat.
No, but she comments in her comment section. She's like, I love that D, babe. She's like, don't listen to the haters.
Either way, it's weird. It's.
But wait.
But long story short, basically the Internet, social media will literally Just make jokes about this woman, but, like, still encourage her. Be like, good job. Like, there's no, like, ill intent. And anyone's being like an. But everyone just makes it complete fun of it. And all of a sudden, she has 7 million followers on. On Instagram. Why? Because people and, like, got to do her, like, meetings, early story. Because, like, it's an interesting story. But I'm also saying because the documentary was made because Tick Tock, specifically, Tick Tock made so many, like, videos and things about it that, like, it became trending. So now everyone's reposting her. Everyone's doing all this. Everyone's doing all that because it's a trend, and it gives everyone purpose to do something.
People love good stories because it gives them purpose. It's given me purpose for at least a week. Every night.
I'm like, who?
It's Gypsy Rose. What's she doing? And then I go on her real social media. I'm like, garrett, look at, look at. This is her husband.
Look.
This is what's going on. She's really trying to help mental awareness.
Yeah. I'm just sitting there going, but, you know, I'm competing within my bed right now.
No, for me, it's like. For me, I'm like, I need. I need. It's not purpose driven. It's more like it's turn off my brain mode. Yeah, Like, I'm not like, you get.
A purpose drop to do something when.
You don't want to.
Because I think everybody needs, like. I call it, like, you need like a. An hour or so where you just shut off your brain. You can watch a comedy, you could watch whatever, but, like, only gonna shut your brain. I think it's. Yeah, I feel dumber for watching it, but I need to feel dumber for at least an hour every night.
You lose 14. Like, 14 IQ goes down every night.
No, actually, it recharges me. Saves brain cells, and then I'm better the next day.
See, but what I realized with all this is like, it's like, okay, everyone's trying to fight to be right. Everyone's trying to fight to say, this is the way to live. There's no right way to live. There's no rules. Like, when you actually look at life, there's the laws that we follow as society. Besides that, there's no rules on whether or not you have to wake up at six. Like, who gives a. You wake up at three. Cool. Like, glad you enjoy that. I don't. So thank you. But, like, I'm comparing and trying to provide value in my own life comparison to someone else ounces. And it's like no. Like I don't care anymore. Like for instance, I have no problem saying that I woke up at 8am this morning. Why I was up till 2am working. So I don't, I don't know like and if and buts about that. And like me trying to justify that to other people is a waste of time.
Right?
Me trying to compare to dad and his schedule is a waste of time.
And you don't need a lie and be like I got up at 4am like you're like no, I did. I did. Other I'm not gonna feel guilty for sleeping till 8. My body needed it it. So I'm not going to let anybody else tell me, son, why aren't you up at 4am you're wasting your time.
Listen, I had sex at 8:30, came fell asleep at 9, was up at 4. So that was good. What I'm saying is that by the time I had already been asleep. Yeah, for five hours you were just going to bed. Yeah, I had released.
I checked out melatonin.
Good night. 2am you're just going to bed. An hour and a half later I wake up and you're just getting into the pocket of your sleep factor.
So it's all good.
I get the schedule. It's totally, it's just a different schedule.
But. And it's like this goes across the. No, I went to bed at 2 in the morning last night. But I think that so many people are trying to say like for instance, like I'll see how you got like oh my gosh, this gets so big. I don't want to like take up all the time. But like it goes across the board with everything. The way you operate in a relationship, the way you operate with your body, the way you operate with spirituality. Everyone is trying to tell people how to do but don't tell themselves anything. It's like your opinion. I don't give a if you believe in God or not.
Not.
You will show it in your actions. You will either show that you give a about fitness because you have a six pack and you know how to take care of yourself results or you don't.
Right.
Other than that, don't care. And same with when it comes to business, how to run a business. Everyone's guessing. So stop acting like people got figured out. No one's got figured out. Everyone's guessing their next.
Somebody's just a little bit smarter than that.
Exactly.
They learned some and they up more. Great. Dad's up way more than me, so look what he's created.
Well, that's true. So like consequence of a lot of ups.
But these kids in Gen Z and like our generation, this is the problem. We're constantly comparing to everyone else and we're constantly trying to look for purpose or do things. They don't want to work because they got told on a reel that they're not going to make enough to live in the States. Here's what I know. A person can work two jobs, make five to six, seven grand a month and can easily afford an apartment. But they don't want to do that because they say, oh well, if we have to work hard, we don't get the.
No. But even like necessities, a lot of.
Kids will like bare necessities living in a million dollar mansion. That's a necessities nowadays.
Don't you guys think times are changing though? Like I think about like the famous kid we saw on the flight home from Hawaii. I'm like, this kid has like he's been around for a while and he has a massive following. Oh yeah, he's not in first class. I was like, he's not making money.
No.
So when it was he's making some money.
He booked that flight late.
But here's what I'm saying. Like it, it's like his back, his.
Bag was five grand grant.
Okay, that doesn't matter. That means that's good for his social media. When he posts a stories, he's like, I got my bag. I'm not paying first class. Because he can't. He's gonna prioritize where he spends his money.
This kid.
This kid.
Okay, my point is make money.
What's his name again?
Ben.
Ben Ass or Asserlak.
I don't know.
Isla's favorite YouTuber of all time. Right behind Isla on the way back from Hawaii.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
But here's. Here is my.
And Charlie cried for two straight hours.
There was a period.
Adam. Ben. What's his name?
Did I finish my.
Go go Dan Go.
Okay, my point is like money, like when social media started picking up, there was people making a shit ton of money and now it's harder to get seen and it's harder to make money. So you have to be more than just be popular. It's like when the mortgage industry was going crazy 13 years ago, people were making just shit ton of money doing mortgages. It exposed everybody when the market crashed. Work experience. Almost like a social media experience crash. Not necessarily. I Know on God, though, an abundance where it's not. It doesn't mean anything to have a million followers anymore. No, if you don't have a foundation, it doesn't matter. And you can't make money. You have to be more than popular to just get paid. And so you have this generation of you in between you guys who just have this vision of if I get a scene, if I just get this one hit wonder on TikTok, then then I'll make it. I'm like, why? You don't have a foundation, you don't have an album. You don't have this and that and that.
Well, that's why. That's why TikTok is so frustrating, specifically in the music world is because you can. You can network all you want, but at the end of the day, if you are not trending on Tick Tock, they don't give a. But they're not gonna imagine they're not.
A solid album and you have a foundation and then you get something that goes viral.
So important. Got a better reason to peep. Like big, high up people. And I do have like albums, like I have like a thing in the work right now, like, that I could back myself up with. It's just so hard because I hate Tick Tock. It's like, do you think. Do you think for one second that any of the Beatles were on Tick Tock? Just being like, hey, guys, wrote the song at the summer.
Hey guys, let me shake my booty.
Like, no, they're too. Artists are weird. They're weirdos. And that's why they're exactly their flip phones.
And they're just like trying to barely get the dial to work.
Oh, no, they couldn't, dude. They were like rotary phones. Like, you didn't. You had to call 91 1-advert Operator on whatever. They would have been Tick Tockers for sure. But I think he's unavailable. Have you watched the documentary called who the who? No, this was. Or Wham. Excuse me? Wham. Oh, yeah, with George Michael.
No, he's gay.
He was a. He was a gay dude from the past and like, big name, big singer, awesome. Super gay, but also super awesome. And not that you can't be awesome to be gay, but I'm saying that was a crazy part. You go watch that Netflix movie about Wham. These guys filled stadiums all over the world, made no money for five years, really get paid nothing. And they were the biggest rock stars.
In the world because their managers saw them as an opportunity and screwed them over.
It was wild. Go watch it. Because that's why I say you could make more money if you released a song every week as an independent artist and stopped all this trying to be big thing.
And you just went, how then how would you make money off of it though?
Build a tribe of people who bleed into your medicine of your music. Make your medicine, your music, your music, your medicine.
Go heal people to give me more money though.
They join a organization, people who get.
To talk and worry about making a difference.
Be a coach on the backside of singing, offer singing and then do what you do for all your friends. You're a therapist, you're a coach, you're a guide, you're a beacon, you're a counselor, you're a liberator. You're all these things music just makes music be your medicine and the one that hooks and brings them in and then deliver the medicine they really need.
Here's the one.
You're not answering my question. And how would I make money off of this? If you're going to say this so strongly, then an idea of how I would make the money. Because one thing to be as a.
Hairstylist, I would have never thought I've gotten to the level I had like ever in my wildest dreams. Like, even if I would have been a famous hairstylist, I didn't think famous hairstylist made a lot of money. So when I have people come to me that are like, oh, I don't have, I'm like, what are the skills sitting in front of you right now? And like you're almost like overshooting it when you don't even see the bigger picture, which is impact and reach. So you'd be better off. Like if you're meant to be famous, you'll be famous. You can choose to make an impact on and make great money and not wait for to be seen.
Great. But you're still not answering my question.
How do I make this money that you're talking about?
Tell you how you do it.
Stylist with two kids. I'm like, I got to wait. What? How do I do this? Start.
Let me tell you. Ready? Let me tell you. Ready? We might know the math is simple. If you can do this math, I'm going.
I don't know.
I dropped out. Prettier.
I know. 100 times. 100. Go. Parker. Don't help her. You went to all advanced education. Bailey is a sixth grade dropout.
No.
Close. Take zero off.
10,000.
10,000. Good job. $10,000. But here's the thing. I want you to listen to. Check this. You have a hunt. Are there a hundred girls within the 140 million females in the United States of America who could possibly benefit by being in conversation with you and in small groups, being able to handle and manage the game of suicide, sexuality, all of the chaos that's going on inside of their worlds in high school right now? Are there at least 100? And do those hundred have $100? They spend $100 a week on fucking Starbucks and subscriptions. The bullshit. Okay, follow me. 100 of these people, let's say 10,000 people, listen to your songs that you release every single week in the next three months. I can show you how to build a system that will bring 100 of them to you to pay $100 a.
Month for what, though?
To be in conversation with you every week in zoom calls.
Like I'm being their therapist, like you.
Are being their coach. The music is the medicine that brings him in. And then you deliver the word work that I see you do with all your friends through text, all your friends through phone calls. You only get paid for it now.
But I'm not trying to be a coach. I'm trying to be a singer and an artist.
Guess what? How did Jake Paul stay relevant? Just follow me. How does Jake Paul stay relevant? Because he boxes. How did Logan Paul stay relevant? Wwe they became experts at something beyond the original craft. So you have to look at this. I don't just get paid as a coach. I'm lead in marketing, sales, psychology, personal development, leadership. I have all of these things. Do you have leadership skills? Do you have speaking skills? Do you have communication skills? Do you have deal with internal trauma skills? Do you know how to help people deal with conflicts and relationships? Okay. Do you know how to sing? Stop not being Jake Paul.
I think the problem is, like, artists in general, they see themselves as like this. Let's like, huge. Like Taylor Swift, Target, right? And it's like, yeah, but you're not there yet. The biggest thing I tell my artists, I'm like, I'm not saying you can't be there, but you got to start with where you're at right now, which is scary because you have this complex of you already think you're Taylor Swift even though you're not. So it's hard to know that's where I should go, which is. But it's hard. It's hard to not know. It's hard to have uncertainty. It's hard to be scared. And quite frankly, it's hard to jump into something that you don't know how to. Do you know how to sing?
Here's the thing is crazy. Look at the music though. And I'm kind of bark on this. Think about what you just said about music. Do you think there'll actually be another Taylor Swift?
No, no, I don't think.
I don't think there will be another.
But I think every. If you look at every generation, there's been like five singers, maybe 10.
But what did you say is happening to music right now? Everyone's going into niches, but guess what's happening in society? Everything's going tribal.
Yep.
It's what's happening in coaching, it's what's happening in hair. It's what's happening in real estate. It's what's happening in money, everywhere, financial services. Everything is shattering from monopolized large individuals controlling everything. The game is shattering into tribes. So Taylor Swifts are going to be nearly impossible to recreate. Just like trying to recreate a new YouTube artist. Because when Taylor Swift 15, 18 years ago, launched her career, she launched a different time. Even Roger Love was talking to me about this. He's like, dude, you're going to face a ridiculous challenge. He's like, 15 years ago, 10 years ago, this management game was real.
Yeah.
He's like, now everybody in their dog wants kids big. And now all managers are demanding you pay them. In the past, managers used to invest millions of dollars in artists. This doesn't happen anymore. They've got their pick of like a hundred artists that'll have trending content on the Internet that they can choose from and what publishers look for in anything from Courtney. Roger is not just talent. Distribution channels. Can you sell music? Because they can't distribute music the way they used to, they're dependent on social media for distribution. That's why there's so much collaboration. There was never that much collaboration in the past. Now everybody's fucking collaborating with everyone because they're all trying to get the network of their tribes to generate.
It's a community of effort. Like, it's no longer like even me and daddy. This year we're like, we probably should be more social. Like, it's no longer. It's. It's literally all about collaboration. Like, it's gonna be people. It's just like this whirlwind of communities building each other up. You can do it, Aloma. You go further, faster together.
Well, Parker, what did you do? What did you build in the last year?
A company for myself.
Months. Not even beginning year. You didn't have it?
No, I didn't have it at the beginning year. I started right after my birthday, so it was April. So I've been open for, like, eight, eight and a half months now.
And in eight and a half months, how much. How much revenue did you do last year?
60K.
60,000 last year. First year in business in nine months. Yeah, right? It's great.
Yeah. That's good.
Dude, that's like eight. That's like eight grand. It's like eight grand a month.
Yes. I'm on track to make more this year, but I think that the biggest thing that. I don't know if I had any advice, and, I mean, I'm taking my own medicine right now, but it's like, stop thinking you're the shit. You don't know shit. And stop acting like you do. Like, I don't know how to market. I don't know how to sell. I don't know how to do these. Second that I think I do is the second that I fuck myself. Because the second that I think I can sell, then I stop trying to learn how to sell. Second that I think I can market. I stopped trying to learn how to market. And so, like, the biggest shift that I've made in the last, like, few. I just kind of. One day, I just kind of hit this point, and I think it was this tattoo. So I'm really. I'm really grateful for this tattoo. But, like, when I came to the party and I had that tattoo, y' all didn't know how to address me like Bailey did, cuz Bailey's Bailey. Me and Bailey are chilling. I can make some jokes. She knows I love her.
And no, I.
When I showed up, like, mom was like, hey, don't get this tattoo too. Like, And I understand, because she didn't know what I was getting. And then you came in, you had no idea. You were at work, and you were like, what the fuck? Is that temporary? Like, and like, you. You ask that as an innocent question. Now, the old version of me would have been like, oh, he disapproves of it. The fuck. Like, wow, dad, you just got your neck blasted, you asshole. Like, why are you fucking getting on me? Oh, is it temporary? And then, like, then I got to this point, though, where I was just like, all right, cool. Like, no one knew how to address me in that party. Even clients. Clients were like, you're going through a midlife crisis. All this. I'm like, no, I'm liberated right now. This is the best I've ever been. But I found this, like, peace in the knowing of, like, wow. I literally made a leap to where I told myself, I don't know anything anymore. And so I have no image to try to protect.
Right?
So now it's like, then, like, no.
One can with you.
Yeah, dude. No one can with me. Any one of you actually know what the hell I'm doing on a daily basis at all. And it's awesome. I'm like, yes, this is great. Like, because I can go read the books I want to read. I go, like, I actually dive into the things that I want to learn instead of think that I need to portray this image that everyone knows me as. That party actually broke me because I remember going home and I was, like, a little bit in tears. Like, I was like, fuck. Like. Cause I felt like it just was what it was. But I felt like I got made fun of for my tattoo. I felt like everyone was looking at me for, like, I'm going through. Like, I'm losing my mind.
Was it in your own head?
Me?
No, it was just the jokes between Keith and Dad and between, like, just.
I feel like I didn't joke to be fair.
No, that's the thing. I loved it. Like, I'm glad that you had uncertainty. I'm glad that dad was like, whoa, what the hell did Parker do? Because it all got me to that point where I was driving home, and I just, like, I stopped caring. I was like, wow. All of this. If I were taking any of this as a bad, negative context, it's because it's clashing with my self image. It's clashing with how I see myself. But I'm good with how I see myself, so it doesn't affect me.
It's interesting that you say that about the neck tattoo, because he says the same thing with his. We walked. We went to Montage for dinner the other day, and he's like, do you see how people are looking at me? I'm like, yeah, how they always look at you?
Yeah.
I'm like, people have always been kind of intimidated. Are you neck tattoo or not?
But maybe I'll be neck tattoo scaring more old ladies.
Yeah, more old ladies are talking shit.
But it changed the way that you saw yourself.
Yeah, I was gonna say, more than anything, it changes how you see. See yourself. And if you feel more powerful or more free, that's all that matters. That's how I feel with hair. That's how I feel with half the outfits I wear. It's like, it's all about how you Feel well.
And I find too, like, last piece. I know that we're getting into this a lot, but I think that, like, really quick. Yeah, I watch a bunch of young guys in my academy, and I watch young guys in general, like, let's talk about the guys for a second. Instead of women. But like, they work so hard. It's not that they don't work hard. They actually work really hard. Really hard. But they're just not working towards things they want. They're just looking towards the expectations society has on them. So they're like, oh, like, I have to be successful or I have to grind five out. Like, get up at five. My group calls have been the total opposite. I'm like, the standards. I'm like, you want to wake up at 8, wake up at 8. I was like, I don't care. I was like, you got to be set with yourself. And then from there you can actually build something. Because most of these guys are working so hard, and at the end of the day, they have nothing do to show for it. They're like, oh, I work so hard, but where did I get to? And then they're like, looking for validation online. Or they're looking for validation because, oh, well, I don't know. Garrett White, he posts that he was up at three and I was up at three. So, yeah, I'm successful.
It's all about results.
It's like, if I'm like a happy human being on a daily basis, I have more wealth than anyone in the America, like in the US right now, because no one's happy.
Have you read what's the Game? The Gap in the Game. You should read that book, dad. The Gap in the Gain dad got me into. Well, he got me the short cliff version book, but I wanted. I downloaded the long version so I can listen.
You post on your story.
Yeah. And in the first, like five minutes, you're like, oh. And you realize everybody lives in the gap in the gain, right? But it's when to recognize when you're living in those two certain areas. And if you're living in the gap, it's like h. And he always references his to his kids. And I'm sure his kids get super pissed. He's like, are you living in the gap? But it's more of like an accountability of like, shit, okay. And then course correcting. That's why what I even say about guilt, like, people can sit in the space of guilt and it's not productive. They feel guilty for not getting up at 4am they feel guilty because they smoked weed. They feel guilty because they ate a brownie. They feel guilty because they ate a cheeseburger. They feel guilty because. And then you're like, but you know what, look at my results.
I had.
Have a six pack. I have a brand new BRZ. I woke up at 8am and yeah, that I had a brownie and smoke weed last night.
Yep.
Not going to live in guilt. Right. And so it's not the actual tool, it's like, where, what space are you living in it? Are you living in the gap or the gain? To me it's like, are you living in guilt or you living in freedom? Prosperity?
Yeah. And I've been going on hikes and like that in the nature lately, like a lot. Like, I went to Bluff Trail. It's actually a really good one. It's over in la. I was like, oh, that was a big one. But yeah, I've been out in nature and stuff like that and I'm just like, this shit is awesome. It's like, fuck all this. Like, I had this expectation and this is probably what she feels too. I'm like, she's like, oh, fuck. Because you guys built this, that we need to achieve this. And I was like, I don't want this. Like. And when I came to that realization, I was like, wow. Because I can have appreciation for you building this, but that doesn't mean I need to go build it myself.
I'm like, it doesn't mean you need to get that out of yourself.
Yes. I'm chilling.
It's like, you don't even need to expect that out of yourself. At 24, I didn't expect if somebody, I tell dad all the time, I'm like, at 24, I expected if I saw this, I would have been like.
Oh, I would have myself. If I had your life.
Yeah. Like, if I saw this At 24, I would have thought, I've been like, I don't need that. That's not possible. I don't desire that. I. I had. It wasn't even in my consciousness. It wasn't even my radiant.
Do you remember that dude at Pinnacle Apartments where we lived, who was, who had a nice car? He had his own apartment at Pinnacle Apartments by himself. And he was like three or four years older than me. He was like 26 or something. 20. There was a dude in the apartments who was like, single, good looking, had his own.
But it's like, there's no reason to put that pressure on yourself when it's not even in your conscious ability to Figure out how to get there. Like, it's not even healthy to do that.
No. Like. Like Bailey trying to get big. There's no comprehension on how to do that. So why don't we just start with. Start with where you're at a sale. And that's.
Yeah, like, one thing that's such a. That's a cool thing that you came to this year because that keeps people from actually progressing forward because they have this God plan complex of where they think they are. And you're like, you're not there yet.
Yep.
You're like, you're just not. And until you're willing to just accept where you're at, that's how you'll get to where you need to go. Not necessarily there, but you'll get to where you need to go.
When can we get Bailey to drop a song? I believe week.
That'll be the day.
Stop putting pressure on her. Stop putting pressure on her. Dad.
You know, recently I'm gonna put pressure on her name. Tate McCrae. And she just blew up.
Drop a song every week.
She.
When she was younger, I followed her on YouTube and she started as a YouTuber and I didn't realize but she did drop a song, like, every week, every two weeks. They weren't the best songs on this planet, but they were really cool. And now she blew up because she did. But she changed it. She used to do really sad songs, and then she just went into a dance album.
You can't even figure out who you.
Are unless you're gonna say, this is one of those dad, I told you store moments. But it's one of those moments. So we.
But it's like even. It's like anything I've been telling you for a year.
Your music is awesome.
When I first heard just even covers.
Or release all your good right now. Why are you waiting Just release. Build the tribe. Build the following. You're holding all your good in. You got like, albums and albums sitting in the hard drives going to nowhere.
Bailey.
When I first we're listening to in Hawaii going down the road like.
Like, you have to get, like, people to agree with and be okay. Like even recipe for Mimi releasing it caused like, huge chaos with one of the.
But what if you just put it on you now they're on. What if you just put it on YouTube because, like.
Because everyone expects to get paid 10 grand for a singer who, like, isn't like, you're. Yeah.
Why can't like. But here's the thing. You could be putting a song. Maybe you don't actually put it on Spotify, but like, you put it on YouTube. I remember when I first started on YouTube, my videos were so embarrassing, Bailey. Like, so embarrassing. And I keep them up because it shows people the journey of who I've become in the process. And some of those videos got like a ton of views and some of them got like two views, right? I didn't care. I cared more about seeing myself grow and develop through consistency and commitment.
Consider right now that the music that you're put just following the music you're putting out right now that you think is so elite it'll touch somebody is going to work and touch people. And it is nothing compared to what you're going to release 18 months from now. And if you get it out of you, instead of holding it in scarcity, you'll apply the principle of talent.
I'm not even holding it in scarcity. It's just like everyone around me is like, you can't release it. You're not allowed.
According to who?
Like, this is like, you should promise is like, you should literally, Lars needs credits for the writing and then some of the producers.
So do it for you. Just put it on YouTube. Just put it on YouTube.
I'm fine with giving credits. They gave credits. But then people get pissed off and they're like, well, I should be getting paid.
Well, you say there's no money in the song. What do you want to say?
Yeah, I'm like, how do you expect a 16 year old to pay you? Like, you, you were the one who said you wanted to write this song with me. Or you were the one who said you wanted to do the production because you loved my project. Like, and now you're expecting a 16 year old girl to give you 10 grand, 30 grand. Like, I'm not gonna do that. So, like, what do you want from. You shouldn't have wrote, like, what did you expect from a 16 year old?
Like, tell him that that's when your.
Manager was supposed to handle the things.
Well, he did with. With the other guy with. But he's still pretty mad.
And let me tell you what, do we just release a song every week? Even if it's a cover, I'll do one with you and I'll release cover every week. I'm going to be a trap artist. I'm just going to release a trap song every week. I'll release a trap song every week. You release a real song every week. I will be a trap star.
I think like, Thomas is your. Thomas is in your world. What dad was in mine.
A little bit of a lover.
Just like what?
And a lover and a friend.
Okay. So we were supposed to have a topic today but I still feel like this show was.
It had lots of winning.
Better than any of our other ones.
Yeah. But you know what I I said I'm like Ruby's cute and we. And we'll have her and the babies be. But I feel like us can actually create relevant to what's going on in the world like as adults and giant. Giant adults.
Shoes. What's up? Let's go.
Cute. I have diors on. Family high five tribe.
We're a little lower down than you. We.
I should have worn those. I have those.
But you know, $300 shoes on.
I. We all have blazers.
We $800 shoes. Thousand dollar shoes. I like my dollar shoes. I don't know.
You know.
Okay, we're done. Let's close them down.
Okay, last thing then.
Okay.
Last thoughts by Parker Framework that I'm.
Putting in all my parent reports and I think it's like it's a framework on making decisions which is like breathe, appreciate and approach. Okay, so first take a breath because there's no weight to the decision you're making. And then appreciate where you're at and what you want and then approach the situation because you're never going to make a decision off of rage, anger or any other emotion is going to be logical down the road that actually pulled you forward. So like with kids or with decisions in your own life or with each other, it's like it breathe. Appreciate the person or the situation because it's giving you an opportunity to approach it in a new way you haven't discovered yet.
Breathe, appreciate, approach.
Did you make that up?
Yeah. Which creates opportunity.
It's called the bad strategy, babe.
When you're. Yeah. He's like start creating frameworks.
When you're really heated and you want to react, I want you to do the bath approach.
I'm just going to go. I'm going to walk up to you. I'll be really heated.
I'll go back lately cuz he's been off. Feel free. He like comes at me and I'm like whoa. Like.
Like what are you doing? You know what I'm doing? I'm doing the B approach. That's actually a really good framework. Right?
Yeah.
I'm around with the bat but it would be a fun way to do it with your guys. Could be like, listen, do you need a bat right now? Let's all bat B. Let's try. Everybody breathe in. Appreciate. You know what time it is, boys. Let's go back. Let's go to your journals.
All right.
