Exclusive access to premium content!The heart can sprint faster than the truth. One quiet afternoon turned into a full-on panic when my son slipped out without a word, and I felt that familiar fear hit like a freight train—only to find out he’d run to grab a burrito. That jolt became a reset, and it shaped a conversation about anxiety, the stories our minds invent, and the small habits that keep us grounded when the alarm bells ring.
We zoom into what real progress looks like with mental health: not viral breakthroughs, but steady weeks, clean rooms, caring for a loyal dog, showing up to help with creative work, and designing days that support stability. The community jumps in with real-life updates—surgery dates, semester wrap-ups, time off—proof that the messy, ordinary stuff is where belonging lives. We keep it light by swapping favorite Christmas movies and the songs that make December feel like December. Home Alone, A Christmas Story, The Grinch, and the Temptations’ Silent Night share space with Mariah’s holiday anthem and a gospel performance that stops us in our tracks.
Behind the scenes, we celebrate cracking a tough platform: crossing a million views on YouTube and building momentum across apps. I share the creator grind—posting rhythms, a funny camera effect detour, and a brand photo gig that paid in cash and a solid set of drawers. We also test a fresh live format with community cameos and float a weekly Zoom to give more voices the mic. Through it all, gratitude leads—especially for Shauna, whose steady love holds the center while life moves fast.
If this mix of heart, humor, and holiday energy hits home, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a lift, and drop your top three Christmas songs or movies in the comments. Your picks might soundtrack our next show.

Wasn't connected to the internet. And I'm up here trying to get the video to work. And didn't know the whole time that I wasn't I wasn't connected to the internet. So that's why I like my my my uh my video uh screen wasn't working. So good morning to everybody. Good morning, Kathy. Good morning to Hara. Good morning, Lily. Like I said, Angie. Tara back strong and tough as nails. No trolls can roll. Hey, look, members only where no trolls can roll. How is everybody feeling?
SPEAKER_01:What's up, Tracy? This the big dog. We got we got the big dog in the building. What up, Tracy? Grabbing the coffee.
SPEAKER_02:Y'all. It has been, man, yesterday was the most stressful. Was the most stressful time. One of my most like uh stressful, chaotic days. And it was all in my fucking head. Yesterday, I gotta tell y'all about yesterday. And it just shows you how a lot of times we can put we can put stuff in our own head. Uh it ain't even necessarily nothing going on. But uh, okay, so y'all know my son uh King has had his mental, been, you know, having his mental health issues and been working on it. So let's say for like the past, I think about three to four weeks, he has been amazing. Like I told y'all yesterday, and and I I I purposely hadn't gave y'all uh uh, and that's what I said, y'all nephew. I gotta start calling him y'all nephew. I'm just gonna say y'all nephew. So I purposely hadn't said nothing for you know for a few weeks because you know, with this mental health thing, you want to take it a day at a time and you know, be prepared, you know, that you're gonna have some good days, you might you're gonna have bad days, and it might have horrible days. So you don't want to get too uh too high when you have a good day and he's feeling good. You know, so I didn't want to bring the update too soon, but that's why like yesterday of the day when I told y'all um I told y'all that he's doing really well. He has been doing well for, I mean, I'd probably say three weeks, and it might even be closer to a month. I mean, uh we kind of like in between houses, you know. I still got the other place, and then me and Shana got this place. So my son, um, I'm getting his little suite together because I want to have him in his private area because he has his dog Juice, and they have to be together. So they can't just be in a regular room, they need like a suite in the basement. So, you know, my son is that juice has been uh with my son in his room, uh right-hand man since he was a puppy. So this is going on about 66, 7 years now. So he has been at the house, but um so I went back, I hadn't been there in a few days. And one thing about my son, he's a lot like me. So I know you know, you don't I don't want to give him too much alone time, but a long time is good for him, just like it's good for me. Um, and so I hadn't been there in about four days. So I pop up at the house, he's got the whole house clean, his room is clean, and we junky people by nature. I mean, we we not trifling, but we not the like there will be maybe a clothes or or or a cup or a little plate laying around. Uh, I had to be honest. But I went there, he was in good spirits, the house was clean on his own. I didn't say anything, bathroom was clean, he's just been doing that well. And so yesterday I went and um I kind of told myself, now that he's on the right path, I think instead of having him continue to work jobs outside um just to help continue on that path and to be up under me, I'm gonna have him start helping me with my content and filming and stuff like that, kind of start having my son work with me, work for me, and then we can go work out together and just you know, do stuff like that. So I say all that to say, so I go back, so I'm at the house yesterday. Me and King, he helping me with the content, taking pictures, just having a good day, another good day. Like I said, another good day. So then about five minutes after we're done making content, I go knock on his door because I was about to let him know that I was about to leave, and I'm like, King, he's not saying nothing. I look in his room, he's gone. I'm like, what the hell? And he had his door, his room door locked. And so I'm like, what the hell? His door is locked because I can go outside the apartment and look in his window. I'm like, the fucking door is locked. So I'm calling him and calling him and calling him. He's not answered, and he's just gone. I like he didn't say nothing. I didn't know what the hell was going on. I'm walking all over the neighborhood looking for him. I'm calling his mom. I'm I'm in a just a complete panic because it's been 20, 30 minutes at this point. He ain't saying nothing, he ain't answering the phone. I was like just talking to him, like, what the fuck? I call Shauna. I'm just talking, I'm just y'all. I am a wreck. I'm thinking the worst. So I don't even have no fucking. It's it's it's it's cold as hell. I don't even have no jacket on. I'm all up and down the plaza because we stay right by a plaza. So I'm all in the plaza just looking and figuring out what the hell, where did he go? What is he doing? And I'm thinking, like, oh my god, King, here we go again. Like, uh, I can't I can't take it like this. It's just like I can't go through this again. So, y'all, I go back, so I leave the plaza, go back to the house. He's still not there. Go back to the plaza. He I don't know what he's doing. I finally go back and I'm talking to Shauna. Well, no, no, I wasn't talking to Shauna yet. She called. Do y'all know this dude comes in the house? All he did was go get a fucking burrito from Chipotle. And I'm like, here I am about to have a heart attack. Um, I'm about to have a heart attack, going crazy, out of my mind, thinking of the words. And he's been, and like I said, he's been doing good, so I had no reason to really think this, but I just you just I'm I'm I'm paranoid now. And all he was doing, all he did was go get a burrito from Chipotle. I said, man, our minds can really play tricks on us and make us, yeah. But I to hair, I could I was like a nervous wreck. And then to find out all he was doing was all he did was go get something to eat. I said, man, I was happy, but so he's doing well. Like I said, he's he's been doing really well, and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to keep him on that path because he's definitely doing good. But it just showed you, and I'm telling y'all that story to just show y'all how our minds, our minds, um, can our minds can do some shit. Like our minds, it just it's just it's just it's just crazy. So you gotta stay positive so you don't go crazy. But see how y'all felt? See how y'all felt just hearing the story? So imagine me being the father going through this, this my child, and in real time in the moment. Um imagine how I felt or how crazy I was going. It was like, ah. But it just shows me, man, our minds can definitely uh can take us places that we not ready to go to. Uh, but uh how's everybody else feeling? Any any news? Um, any personal news in the chat? Anybody want to share? Any surgeries coming up, any job interviews? Um anything uh before we get into today's topics and discussions. I didn't even post. I've been doing on good, I posted it every day on social media. I've been doing good. Yesterday was the first day I missed in a long time. That's how that's how out of whack yesterday's work was for me. So I gotta post like two or three today. That's how I gotta make up for it. I gotta do like three posts today. At least two. But I'm gonna try to do three social media posts today to kind of make up for yesterday. But I was so fucking out of whack. Um, I just I didn't even make a fucking video. Um Taara says she can't wait to go back to work. She's bored. Greg Grandma Caddy said, crazy how our kids make us feel at times. We love them through the good and bad. Yeah, I'm out in the day of the winter, cold ass Cleveland, snow everywhere, cold with no coat on, uh, walking up and down the street up in the plaza like a maniac. I'm sure people thought I was crazy. I know people was looking at me like, what the hell? Um, what the hell is wrong with this guy? He got no coat on, and he's just walking up and down the street in the plaza. Like they probably was like, somebody get this man some help. They probably was calling police or calling police on me, like, man, this it's a weird man out here with no coat on, walking up and down the street. And I don't know what's wrong with him. Oh, yeah, everybody remember uh Kathy has a complete hip replacement being done January 14th. Fire Glory says, uh for the next week Wednesday. I'm off from work until January 5th. I'm looking forward to some time off from work and school. I'm finishing up my semester this week. Good, good, good, good, good. That's not that's all that's all gravy. What's up, Rachelle? Good morning. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Yeah, I didn't even I was I was late today because I couldn't figure out why my camera wouldn't connect, and it came to find out I wasn't on the Wi-Fi. I'm like, oh fuck. That's all it was. But stumbling into this neat little effect, y'all. I like this little effect. Tell me I like it where it kind of blurs the background a little bit. I kind of like this. It's kind of neat. So amidst all my all that uh me trying to get all loaded up today, I stumbled into this nice little effect that uh actually, let's see. I like the way it looks, it's kind of sweet. Oh no Christmas Eve, no Christmas day. No coin no Christmas Eve, no Christmas podcast to Kathy and to everybody else. And then everything everything else is to be determined. I never know what the holidays bring, and but for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I'll be with the family. Yeah, I don't know why it says Johnny Appleseed. Yeah, that hey, look, that's what I said. I don't know why it says that. I don't and I don't know how to get rid of it. I don't know what why what is this Johnny Appleseed shit about? Can somebody tell me?
SPEAKER_03:I was looking at that too, but you gotta remember, from when you look at that, I could see it.
SPEAKER_02:I don't see it backwards, so I didn't know what the hell it said. It's like right here. It's backwards on my screen, so I didn't even say it Johnny Appleseed, but I was like, what the hell is that? I don't know what it is, and I I don't know where it came from. Maybe it has something to do this effect, maybe it has something to do with this effect that I'm using. Maybe Johnny Appleseed made this effect. So when you use it, six seven six seven. I don't know what it is, but every time a kid, every time he says six seven, a kid says, six seven. I'm like, what the hell is six seven?
SPEAKER_03:No, I didn't get no.
SPEAKER_02:I'm doing all my Christmas shopping. Today it's just been a I've been behind in general between moving and and doing like doing so much around this holiday season that just got me behind. Normally I'm the type to have my Christmas done like Black Friday. I didn't even do it. So I'm gonna be one of the last minute, I'm gonna be a last-minute shopper, but hey, it is what it is. I'm probably gonna be shopping on the 23rd, just to be honest with y'all. Yeah, I'm so last-minute, I might not be able to be, I might not even have time for Amazon. I might have to literally go to the store old school. But I ain't gonna lie, I kind of like, I ain't gonna lie, I kind of like going, doing a little bit of the, I like kind of being in the in the last minute uh holiday shopping. Um, because it'd just be it'd be just a lot of people, and it'd be frantic, and it kind of gives me the Christmas spirit a little bit. Now, trust me, I prefer to just Amazon my shit. But I kind of like when I'm in the little the little last-minute shopping frenzy, and you see all the Christmas stores and I mean all the Christmas decorations in the store, and they be playing the Christmas music. Kind of gives it a it kind of gives me a vibe. Good job, Lily. Lily said, Oh, her shit done. Way to go, Lily. Tracy says she hasn't stepped in inside one single store.

Here it is right here. So you can see. It's gonna bring like emotion and maybe some tears. For real. Trust me on that one. Go don't walk after this live, or whenever you get a chance, go look up that gospel uh stream live by Justin Bieber. Um, if you want to cry some happy tears. That boy can sing, and he and you can hear that emotion in his voice, and you and even him, even if it even in his body, even in his body language. Oh man, like I said, I'm I'm probably gonna watch it again after uh later a little bit later on when I get some time. But um Elvis Presley. Okay, so does Elvis Presley have a classic uh Christmas song? Y'all know I like Elvis, I ain't gonna lie. Sometimes Elvis can be controversial, but uh in my community, but um I'm a big Elvis fan. I I like Elvis. I like watching the old, I think it was 1956. Can somebody help me out? Was it 1955 or 56 when Elvis Presley first was at the Ed Sullivan show? It was in black and white, and he came out there, and them girls were screaming so loud, you couldn't even hear Elvis.

Like, that'll be like sometimes if we're talking about certain subjects and we hit our hour mark after the hour. I'll let some people come up and say something that they want to say about whatever the topics we talked about. Just give it that real talk show vibe. Phil Donahue back in the day. Y'all remember Phil Donahue show? I want to give it like that type of vibe. Tracy said she's trying to figure it out. Hey, we didn't talk about shit today, y'all, as far as uh current events or trending topics or news, and I ain't mad at all. This was a this was a this is uh this is this is fun.

SPEAKER_02:Oh, we just completed a uh I just completed uh a commercial well a picture. Uh, cause it's it's it's uh certain companies they pay you to take pictures as a content creator influencer. So it's this new company called Tinge. They got these uh drawers. Um I'm trying to find the actual, well, I'll just show you the actual pictures. They just approved my picture. I made a uh I made a little uh and King helped me with this. King took the picture. I did a I did a little picture for there. Uh why is everything so fucking blurry? Like, come on now. I can't show y'all nothing. Why is it so damn blurry? It's this effect. Let me take this effect off so I can show y'all something. Uh how take this effect off. Let me see, let me see, let me see. Ah, fuck it. The bottom line is, y'all, I did a I did a commercial, I mean a picture for a company. They just approved my pictures. It's this drawer. Um put the drawer in the bedroom. I put it in the bedroom. I hopped in the bed, act like I was asleep. They just approved it. I'm just letting y'all know this is just random information. And um, they just want me to leave a uh they want me to leave a review on on um on Amazon for them. But I thought it was pretty cool. And I get to keep the drawer on top of it. So make a little money and get to keep the drawer. I ain't mad at that. I wish I could show y'all the damn drawer.
SPEAKER_03:But Tinge, look them up.
SPEAKER_02:They got some nice little minimalist drawers. Good pricing, good quality product, and I was able to put the drawers together. And I'm I'm not Mr. Handy Dandy, I'm not your handy dandy handy man. Movement process is cool. I still got like stuff at my house. It's just tough to do this shit around the holidays, man. It's like you're trying to do holiday shit, you're trying to move. It ain't easy. It ain't easy, but it's hey, look, it's all a blessing. Because it could be worse. You can have nowhere to move to, and you cannot have shit to move, y'all. Isn't that not the truth? So I will never ever complain. I will never ever complain. Um I look at it like that. Like I said, you could you could you could either not have a place to move to or you could not have anything to move. So as long as you have something to move and you have a place to move to, you have no reason to complain. Oh yeah, we got the Christmas tree is up. It's in one of my videos. If you follow me on Instagram, uh if you follow me on Instagram, you can go back to one of my posts from like a week ago, and you can see the Christmas tree. Actually, let me see.
