There are two things in life that I can guarantee you are number one, and that is La Platica being the number one Latino podcast in the world, according to Google. And SeatGeek rated the number one ticketing app on the App Store.
Sebas
I didn't say that the app did. With over 28 million downloads daily, 70,000 live events. I mean, no wonder why it's number one and they wanted to partner us because we're number one in Latino industry.
Josh
It only makes sense. Guys, Seatgeek makes it easy for you, right? It's a user friendly app. They use green dots to show you that these are great seats. They use red dots to show you probably avoid these seats.
Sebas
It's really easy. I mean, you got people like Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce, Sza, the Dodgers, the Dodger game. I think we're gonna Dodger game tonight, aren't we? We should, we should go.
Josh
We should.
Sebas
I'm gonna see Alejandro Fernandez this Sunday.
Josh
Guys, even we use la platica 10 cuz we're trying to get that discount.
Sebas
All right?
Josh
If you want to get that 10% off your next ticketed purchase, you can do the same. What was the code again? LA LA10. Did we just say that at the same time?
Sebas
Ready?
Josh
Should we say it again? LA10. That's right. Guys, make sure to punch it in on the SeatGeek app and you're going to be hooked up 10% off. I swear to God. I used it for my, for my Dodger tickets and I was like, wow, I just hooked myself up Yeah, I.
Sebas

Josh
I. I. You seas. I like questions. Yeah, yeah. I. Your questions.
Sebas
Hold on.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas

Blessed
Thank you for having me, bro.
Sebas
Does. Does the microphone work? It does. Do the headphones work? Everything's good? You comfortable?
Blessed
Am I good?
Sebas
Your money?
Blessed
I don't really do podcast, bro, so I'm not really familiar with this whole setup.
Sebas
Of course. You're too busy.
Blessed
You're too busy. I'm busy. I'm just like, bro, funny story. Before you get into. You don't say.
Josh
No, I don't.
Blessed
Okay, so. So, as you said, I went to Coachella with salud, obviously, right? And taste. With taste. Salud. Sorry.
Josh
Cheers.
Blessed
To health.
Sebas
What a day.
Josh
Gotta get that plug, bro. 10% off using a cola plug. We got 10 anyways.
Blessed
And I think it was the first night that we were, like, all party. It was Thursday night. You know how we all got there Thursday? And we were all drunk, you know, feeling the shots. You know, Robert was pouring out earlier. Shots, whatever, whatever. And I remember Josh approached me and he was like, hey, bro. Like, come on the pod. And I was like, yeah, bro, I'm down. He's like, no, you're not. You didn't answer my dm. I was like, did I say that? Yeah.
Josh
Wow, bro.
Blessed
I loved it.
Josh
I love a straight shooter, bro.
Blessed
I loved it.
Josh
That's why I'm a businessman, bro.
Blessed
Yeah, exactly. And I was like. And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, you know what I mean? Because Josh had DM me. He asked me, hey, bro, we'd love to have you on the pod.
Josh
I did.
Blessed
And I saw it, and I was like, oh, that's sick. And this is right after Karen and Eddie were on the pod.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
I was like, yeah, I'm down. And then he had immediately hit me up and was like, oh, like, what dates are you available? I didn't see the DM for, like, three days, and then I saw it.
Josh
Too busy.
Blessed
Yeah. And then I saw it, and then I was just like, it's too late. And I just. With all due respect, I just, like, I'm just all. I'm just, like, an awkward person, bro. Like, if I didn't know you guys, I was like, I'm kind of hesitant to do the pod.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
He's like, you saw my dm? You just didn't answer me.
Josh
Hey, but you know what, bro? I appreciate you, like, being, like, honest about that, you know, because, of course, I feel like a lot of people might feel like that. Dude, coming on a podcast, it's a lot of pressure. It's a lot of pressure. It's a big ask. It's. It's. It's a lot.
Blessed
And it's such a different look than, like, a YouTube video compared to, like, just.
Sebas
Yeah, correct.
Josh
So, like, I kind of get it, and I didn't take it personally.
Blessed
No, no, you didn't, bro. I know you were laughing about it. You're like, why do you do it? And I was like, honestly, bro, I just. I just didn't want to do it. At that moment, you start laughing. I was like, no. But now I know you guys are cool. Like, yeah, I'm down, bro.
Josh
But, hey, let me tell you something, bro. There's no God. Don't make mistakes. Right? And I think timing is everything.
Blessed
Yes, I agree.
Josh
And I think maybe it wasn't the right time. And look at how everything just unfolded. And now you have this synergy with us, this chemistry with us. This is going to be the greatest episode we've ever shot on a plateau. No pressure.
Sebas
No pressure at all. But also, I just want to say something. When we all went to Tesalu, to the event in Palm Springs, Indio, whatever. We had an amazing time.
Blessed
Great time, bro.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
The first thing that I. What? I said what I thought to myself, because I like to talk to myself a lot. When you talk to yourself, do you talk to yourself in English or Spanish? Or is it both?
Josh
I do.
Sebas
It's a little bit of both. Right. Okay. So I'm not the only one.
Josh
Okay.
Sebas
So that. That's out of the question. I told myself, I said, dang, I really want to kick it with this guy. I really want to know what he's about, you know, because most of the people that are there, like, I kind of already know.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
You know, like, obviously, I know.
Blessed
I was kind of. I was nervous coming into the house, bro.
Josh
Yeah. I saw your vlog and I saw a little bit behind the scenes. Yeah, I didn't expect that because it.
Blessed
Just felt like the majority of the house, like, all of you guys were already just like, a big group, you know, and it was like a. Like. Like four additional people, like, outside of the group.
Josh
Yes.
Blessed
I was like, oh, like, the pressure's on. Like, hopefully, like, they like us, you know, and, like, I didn't expect y' all to, like, just be outside and have a fun time. Like, I just thought. Yeah. Like, not that it was bad. Like, I loved it, don't get me wrong, but I thought y' all were gonna be more like, oh, like, go to sleep at, like, 11pm like, you know, wake up early. Yeah, I thought I was like, yeah, it was dope. I.
Josh
This is why I love podcasting. Podcasting. I'm a little lit. I'm a little.
Sebas
Are you. They have you drink.
Josh
Me and Blessed were kind of turned.
Blessed
Up a little bit beforehand to loosen up.
Josh
Fire. Okay. Really, what I'm about to say is.
Blessed
Going to be fire lit.
Josh
This is. This is inside. So to your point. And I'm giving. Okay. So we had Revel Management actually help us with, like, orchestrating the influencers that were going to be staying at the house. We've never done a Salud brand trip before, so it's our first time. So they presented to us a list of influencers that they felt would, like, you know, co. Could coexist in. In a. Create great, like, energy within a Saluth household.
Blessed
Course.
Josh
It wasn't supposed to be like that. It was actually supposed to be more like, down the middle. We were. We all. And I. I probably cut this out if we don't want to keep this, but we had invited Cade.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Aaron and. And. And Eddie. Sorry.
Blessed
Karen and Eddie, bro, I got you. But, yes, I know.
Josh
I'm just gonna go sleep.
Blessed
Right.
Josh
No, no. Yeah, yeah. Which they.
Blessed
They made. They made it known to the media.
Sebas
That who the is Aaron.
Josh
Okay, first of all, you.
Blessed
He said Aaron and Keddie.
Josh
Aaron and ke.
Sebas
He said. Yeah. So you know Cade. Yeah, Ed. Ed and Eddie.
Blessed
You know what's funny?
Josh
Okay, hold on. That's hilarious. We also invited Plank, so when I think of Kade, this is like. I'm going off a tangent here.
Sebas
Boxer Matt, come on.
Josh
Roasting school with me. Hold on. I have a valid point to make. I. I know Cade. Okay? And I don't like calling them Cade because that's not how I know them. Right. I know them. Eddie and Karen. But notice how I said Eddie first? Cuz in my mind, that's how I've just filed it. You know how we all have file cabinets?
Sebas
What does that have to do with Aaron?
Josh
Oh, I can't say. Stand you right now. Okay. Just kidding.
Sebas
See, what I deal with for three years straight every week.
Blessed
So I.
Josh
When I think of Cade, I get confused. My brain gets confused because I. It's. Karen is technically first in cade.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
Oh, okay. Karen.
Josh
Correct.
Sebas
Okay, so Aaron with. Without the K. Yeah.
Josh
And what did I say? Ernie.
Sebas
You said Ernie. You said Aaron. Aaron, I'm sorry.
Josh
Okay? I'm sorry, but my brain just.
Sebas
Don't be sorry to me.
Josh
Eddie and Karen, Eddie and Karen, get in here. Bring it in tight. My bad. Okay. Should be your bad. I hope you understand. And it's justified my excuse. So you get me? I get you. So they were supposed to be in the house.
Blessed
Yes.
Josh
And they had prior engagements. They were. They were a part of, like, a gender reveal in Hawaii.
Blessed
Yes. They kind of. Yeah. They had a best friend that they grew up with, and she had told him, hey, we're doing a intimate gender reveal with our close friends in Hawaii. We want you there. And obviously she was a gender keeper, so she had to be there.
Josh
It was very important. It was very. And I totally understood. Right. And we had never really, like, met. We've met through socials and, like, quick events, but we never connected. But my plan was to create, like, a house.
Sebas
Yeah.
Josh
Where it was, like, people that I know and then new people that come in and, like, they would all, like, mix. So that was the original plan. And then when it all kind of started, like, people have schedules and stuff. I was a little nervous for you because I wanted everybody to, like. I wanted everybody to be like, good.
Blessed
Of course.
Josh
You know.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
And it worked.
Blessed
It did.
Sebas
It just happened.
Blessed
It worked out beautifully.
Sebas
Yeah.
Blessed
And I'm glad I stayed to hang out with you, with you guys, because I remember, like, one of the first things you tell me when I walked in the house. You're like, hey, bro, like, we love that you're here, but, like, please don't feel, like, entitled to, like, have to hang out with us. Like, you know, you could go on and do your thing. Like, this house is for you. Like, do whatever you want. I immediately told you. I was like, no, bro. Like, I want to hang out with y' all, bro. I want to be here.
Josh
And I love that. I love.
Sebas
I love that too, bro. When I first met him, I was like, okay, well, I've heard about him, obviously. We've talked about him. We wanted him on the podcast. I've seen you all over social media. I was like, I'm really excited to hang out with them. I want to see what the hype's about.
Blessed
Yeah, right. Did I live up to the hype?
Josh
Yeah, they live up to the hype, bro.
Sebas
I kid you not, bro. Even me and my wife. My wife said, what a great guy, bro.
Josh
You're a good. You're a good human.
Sebas
No dead ass, bro. Bro, the whole time kicking in with us, you never. You. You never made anybody feel like, oh, I don't want to be here. Yeah. Or like, yeah, bro, No, I. I know. I already knew that. He was never gonna think that.
Blessed
Of course.
Sebas
What I'm saying is, like, bro, straight, like, brother, and primo vibes.
Josh
That's what it was like, bro.
Blessed
Last night we stayed up to, like, 5.
Sebas
We stayed till, like, 5am and honestly, it wasn't even like, yo, let's get up. Yeah, we were sipping, but, like, bro, we're just, like, really chatting, bro. And then I was like, damn, bro, you're actually, like, really cool. And then we both looked at each other, and then we were like this. And then we're like, oh, sorry, babe.
Josh
Yo, I will say this, though, bro, and just to, like, credit, Sebas like, roses to you, bro. You're young and you're successful. You have a lot on your plate, right? And people, like, you're admired, right? You have, like, an audience of people who enjoy you and love your content and stuff like that. Yeah, it's a blessing. And a lot of people don't know how to handle, like, don't know how to handle that, and it changes them as humans. And I think what Sevas is, like, alluding to is, like, bro, you're so, like, grounded in who you are, which makes it easier for us to connect with you. And we just related with you to the point that he's like, you were like, a primo cousin, vibes, bro.
Sebas
Yeah, so it's like, first of all, you said alluding. So whenever you say big words like that, make sure you, like, tell us what that means.
Blessed
Oh, yeah, because I disagreed with you, but I can't even spell that word.
Josh
What did I say?
Sebas
Alluding. Does that mean that, like, you throw away trash?
Josh
Yeah, it could be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, you're on the street. Don't be alluding, bro. Like, there's a trash can right there.
Sebas
You know what? I. Yeah, like, I was kind of Confused when he said that.
Blessed
Yeah, me too.
Sebas
Alluding. Yeah, yeah, Good word.
Josh
It's a good word.
Blessed
New word goes off the tongue nicely.
Sebas
New word unlocks.
Josh
Nice. So it's like, I think, I don't really know sometimes, but I use it in the right context.
Sebas
We'll figure it out.
Josh
It's like alluding, like what he's like getting to like what he's like the, the overall premise of what he's suggestion or call.
Sebas
Call to attention.
Blessed
Is that what it is?
Josh
Oh, yeah, that's what it. It is.
Blessed
So what was the sentence?
Josh
So I think what Sevas was alluding to.
Sebas
Yeah, and indirect.
Josh
And indirect. Like, so, like.
Blessed
Okay.
Josh
Basically just to preface what he was saying and yeah, you know, more direct.
Blessed
What he was referencing to make sure.
Sebas
When you already say those big Harvard words. Yeah, just tell us what they're about.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
Because like when you say me and like bless, I mean, I think so.
Blessed
Kind of like I'm in with you.
Sebas
Yeah. You know what I mean?
Josh
Okay. So don't say okay.
Sebas
No, like do.
Josh
Right. Yeah. And there's eluding and then there's polluting.
Sebas
Ah, that's what it was. Captain Planet. He's the hero.
Josh
Yes.
Sebas
Okay.
Josh
Yeah. And what Captain Planet was alluding to was don't trash the Earth.
Sebas
Got it. Gotcha, gotcha, got it, got it.
Blessed
The message he was trying to spread.
Josh
I did. I challenge you guys to use alluding one time organically throughout the podcast.
Sebas
Okay.
Blessed
The next conversation, you held me like.
Josh
After today, like, Josh, what I'm alluding to.
Sebas
No, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. The only reason why I'm saying why Blessed was such a good guy is because I. Because everybody that's watching the, Watching this, watching this is probably a big fan of yours. So I want to let them know me as a really. I. I consider myself a really good person, a really down to earth person, humble person. I want to let you guys know that what you see online is like kind of like a real thing. And even behind cameras, he's such a great hearted guy. And so is dez.
Josh
Super.
Sebas
So is dez Ser.
Josh

Josh
Yes.
Sebas
Keep, like, keep, keep watching them because they're really like goldhearted people.
Blessed
Thank you guys. You know what I mean? I could say the same thing about you guys as well.
Sebas
I Appreciate that.
Blessed
Supporters. They're not just nice people on camera. They're nice people off camera, too.
Josh
Look at a seasoned vet right here. The point, the wink, the smirk, the little.
Blessed
I want to edit.
Sebas
Yeah. One thing that I. That we had a kind of conversation because when we first meet each other.
Josh
I'm pouring up a shot.
Blessed
I'm down.
Josh
This is Lalo. You ever heard of this bottle right here? You ever heard of Pepe Aguilar? This is his favorite tequila bottle.
Sebas
Yeah, I know. I heard him say he sat right there.
Blessed
Where?
Josh
Blessed, bro.
Sebas
He's really like.
Blessed
This is actually.
Sebas
Yeah. Hey, Pepe. Lab tallest.
Josh
Oh, my bad, my bad.
Blessed
I like the ace more, though.
Josh
My bad.
Sebas
Oh, you know what? Hold on. This is what we're gonna do because we never use this. We have this right here.
Blessed
What is it?
Josh
Oh, we're gonna play a game. Spin the bottle.
Sebas
I mean. Yeah, so it either says un castigo po. Actually, I don't think this is going to work out, cuz I don't. I don't even have cash.
Josh
Huh?
Sebas
Stop doing that.
Josh
I opening the bottle. Dude, clearly you don't know how to open a bottle, okay? And you're not drinking.
Sebas
Well, did you even ask if he wants one?
Josh
Huh?
Sebas
Did you ask if he wants one?
Josh
I partied with this fool long enough to know that I don't need to ask.
Blessed
Remember, like, the first night we stayed up, Me and Seba stayed up till late. I feel like Josh had a fomo because the next two nights. Yeah, he stayed. He stayed up with us, too.
Josh
Hey, one thing about me, bro. My friend group knows. And everybody told you I go to sleep.
Blessed
Yeah, everybody was like, josh never does this. And then Josh looking at me, he's like, I'm doing this for you, bro.
Josh
I don't do that.
Sebas
I was up too, when he was there.
Blessed
Yeah, I remember.
Sebas
But he. He. He loves to do the Irish. Goodbye.
Josh
Yeah. I love my eight hours of sleep, man.
Blessed
I hate people like that.
Josh
Yeah, I know. But I stayed up for you, so I did.
Blessed
Well, hey, honestly, out of the whole Coachella trip, I feel like those are the moments I, like, kind of, like, took the most with me. It was like. But really, we really just stayed up.
Sebas
It was a good time.
Blessed
In aside all the madness, like, we were all just really. Just chilling there, just talking. It was vibe, actually. Really?
Sebas
Because it's cool. Because it's like. Yeah, as humans, we decide to, like, not knock out because we just want to. Just want to keep spending more time with each other.
Josh
We don't Want it to end, which.
Sebas
Is like a beautiful thing, you know? It is a beautiful thing.
Josh
You know what's interesting? So you're 23. Yeah. I started making content probably like around your age as well, but it was so different. Like, when I started, I was more guarded in, like, what I. What I portrayed as, like, I didn't want people to see all of me.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
But now, like, the new age of content, like, people show everything.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Like in your vlog that I watched that he didn't. Yeah, I saw. Yeah, thank you. I saw that. You, like, showed everything. You. You talked about how you were hungover, you talked about. You even showed a clip of you being dragged into the room, bro. I could never imagine.
Blessed
It took me a while to get to that level.
Josh
Okay.
Blessed
Because like you said, I started a really young age. And back then, obviously I wasn't drinking at 16 years old. You know, I was doing more like the family friendly content. I was doing like the. Would you rather never have I ever like, you know, just the spicy chip. Exactly. Stuff like that, you know.
Josh
16. That's when you started.
Blessed
No, I started when I was 14, but 16 was when, like, I kind of like started getting that momentum. Where's that crazy motivated me. Yeah, it's about to be 10 years this year.
Josh
Damn.
Sebas
Wow.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
Good for you.
Josh
At 23, you could already say you've been doing content for 10 years.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
At 14 way. Because it's different. Because when we were 14, YouTube didn't even exist.
Josh
That blows my mind, bro.
Sebas
Yeah, so at 14, I was watching Digimon.
Josh
I was watching out of the Box.
Sebas
Out of the Box.
Josh
That's what I was waiting for.
Blessed
Okay.
Josh
I know out of the box.
Blessed
I was making billions, but as I was saying, yeah, it was just really family friendly content. And then it got to a point where I just kind of dragged that type of content for the longest time ever. But on the side, like they say when I was like 18, 19, 20, 21 was when, like, I started, like, you know, experiencing like the. The teenager life, you know, partying, going out, being new people. But, like, I was just scared to show that on camera because I just didn't want to lose my supporters because I feel like that's what I grew with. And then I took like a year break off YouTube and just kind of just slacked on social media, not posting at all and just making ends me, honestly. And then it got to a point where I started, like, meeting people and they're like, bro, just post what you do. Post what you do. Like, people are gonna like it. And then I just took that big step, bro, and I started just showing everything, like, being more. More authentic and more. More raw. Yeah, definitely. And then it just. It made me. Not only, like, I, for sure, like, people didn't like it, but it was, like, the percent. The ratio compared to, like, the amount of people that, like, not only did I entertain, but also I feel like I. I gained a whole new audience. So I feel like I was just so stuck with, like, the younger audience where I was able. You know what attracts, like, an older audience as well.
Josh
I love that because, like, the first couple years of you producing content were exactly that beginning word producing. Like, you were, like. It was very, like, structured. You were exactly, like, an agenda.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
And then you were like, you know what? It. I'm just gonna show my true life. I'm gonna expose myself as a person. And then people started, like, not liking that. But, bro, imagine having to being in that same world where you have to, like, kind of hide behind who you are. At least now you went through that hump or whatever it is, and you're still young. Where you can now. Now you got. Now you're free for the rest of your life.
Blessed
Oh, yeah.
Sebas
That's crazy, bro.
Blessed
I love it. I love it because I'm like, bro, I'm literally just recording what I'm doing, and personally, and people love it. So it's a blessing, bro.
Josh
It is. It's a super blessing.
Blessed
Super blessing for sure.
Josh
So did you start making videos in high school?
Sebas
Seventh grade, middle school, full seventh grade. 14 save. I was in 14. 14.
Josh
I was a freshman. 14. No, no.
Blessed
Okay, so I started post. So.
Josh
Okay, look it up, Jessica.
Sebas
Well, you graduate when. When you're, like, almost 18.
Blessed
Oh, yeah. You know, he's right, because I can't remember last time.
Josh
I was goddamn wrong.
Blessed
11. No, I was 11 years old that fifth grade. I remember that.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
12, 13, 14.
Josh
Here we go. Average eight. Freshman year is 14 to 15. Y' all tripping.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
A freshman.
Blessed
Okay.
Josh
14, ninth grade.
Blessed
So, yeah, I took it. Yeah. More serious. You're right. 14, 15. But that is because when I was 12, 13 was when I was posting. But just for fun. But that's because at that time, they were like, faith. I was on Facebook at that time.
Josh
Really? Yeah, I was on Facebook making just Facebook content.
Blessed
Just like, Facebook, I would go live on Facebook and, like, 20 viewers and do, like, little challenges. And I loved it because I saw other people doing it as well, and I was like, bro, I want to Be Facebook famous. Like, I want to get 100 likes on my photo. And then it got to that point and I started getting 100 likes. And people on my school were like, hey, that's Facebook famous, Alex. And then.
Sebas
That's so crazy.
Blessed
Yeah. And then fast forward Cave this app, it was just called Tick Tock now, but at that time was called Musically.
Josh
Yep.
Blessed
And then I remember it was only available on iPhone at that time. And I had a. Had like an Android. I had a Nokia or something. I remember. And then my mom had, like an iPhone4. And I remember I would ask her to use her iPhone to post musical LY's. And then fast forward, like, two years later, I had, like, I ended up getting, like 24,000 followers on musical ly.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
And that app was small. Like, there wasn't a really big population.
Josh
Not as big as Tick Tock. No, exactly.
Blessed
And I got verified on musically. Well, at that time, it was called Crown. You would get like, a little crown on, like, your profile picture. And I got crowned on musically at 24,000. And at that time, since the app was so small, the creators that they were crowned, they would push him. So I'm telling you, within the next week, I gained like 200,000 followers immediately once I got crowned on there. And it just pushed me, and I just kept going and actually just motivated me. I remember the first day I got crowned was April 16, 2017. That's that. I remember that exact date. And I remember I got crowned. I was like, what the does that mean? I was like, it means I'm gonna.
Josh
Be famous, I promise you.
Blessed
I got you. Okay.
Sebas
I got you.
Josh
I got you, I got you.
Blessed
And then I started screaming.
Josh
And then.
Blessed
Yeah, ever since then, bro, like, that was just like, that one, like, push of motivation, and I just kept posting content. And, like, my content back then is so different to what it was now. Back then, I was just trying to, like, be like a little F boy for the camera.
Josh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sebas
But that's what it was.
Josh
I was.
Blessed
Yeah, that's. You know, and then I. I gained, like, an audience. And then, yeah, I just really grew on the app. And then right before musically turned into Tick Tock, I already had, like 2.5 million on that app.
Josh
So that just converted over into Tick Tock.
Blessed
Yeah, same. Same platform exactly.
Sebas
Yeah, yeah, bro.
Josh
I remember when musically converted into Tick Tock, I got invited to go to the party where it was like they were switching over.
Blessed
Yeah, I did too. I did, too. You were there, I wasn't. My mom didn't let me go.
Josh
Oh, bro. And I took chubs, my brother. And I remember looking at him like, this ain't never gonna work.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Tick tock. Tick tock. Never gonna work.
Sebas
So you were invited to basically the first ever Tick Tock.
Blessed
They're. They're.
Josh
Yeah, they're like.
Blessed
They're transition. They're.
Josh
They're a rebrand, I guess. Yeah, yeah. And it was a small party. It was not popping at all, bro. There was a few influencers, probably musically years and stuff like that. And I was like, this is. It doesn't seem like it's gonna hit. And then it just took a whole different kind of beast, I think.
Blessed
I think what it was was quarantine. I did it for them.
Josh
I think so, too. That really elevated.
Blessed
Yeah. Yeah.
Josh
It's crazy. I feel like how quarantine, like, during that time, it either broke people, like, destroyed businesses or it fucking skyrocketed. Businesses or brands, people, whatever.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Should we take our shot?
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
I was about to say, like, are we gonna take the shower? We're gonna make it, like, we're gonna wait for it to ferment because that look like caldo. All it needs is alas, just because.
Josh
You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't. Can I tell you something? No.
Sebas
No.
Josh
All right, let's take a shot.
Sebas
Hey, honestly, this shot is for your continued success.
Blessed
Thank you, bro.
Sebas
And not only that, but, like, your dedication since you were 14.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
That's crazy.
Sebas
Since you were on, like, musically then tick tock, then YouTube now.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas

Sebas
Well, I was a late bloomer when I started doing that for real. I'm gonna take this shot and we're gonna go on a break real quick.
Josh
Oh, we already had the 30 minute mark.
Sebas
Yeah. We gotta go on a break.
Josh
Shade's coming on, bro.
Sebas
That's the last drink I'm doing.
Blessed
Hey, I brought some shades because I was like, it's a possibility. And I want to look truckle on the camera.
Josh
So we're not looking truckle up in here.
Blessed
No truck on this.
Josh

Appreciate it.
Sebas
What influences your style?
Josh
Oh, that's a good question. Because you are stylish.
Sebas
Dude, don't say that. Oh, that's a good question. Because then it makes it seem like that's your question too. Stop saying that.
Josh
Well, it was in the notes that I wrote. Go ahead.
Blessed
Yeah, as I was saying, nothing specifically necessarily, bro. There's nothing that comes to mind. I'm like, oh, like, he influences me. I just feel like I've always just wanted to, like, look good.
Sebas
Yeah. What you do.
Blessed
Thank you, bro. I've tried. I've tried. And you know, some days, I mean, I hate. There's. There's. There's times where, like, I'll go out to the store and I'm like, after my gym, fiddle mojado and everything. Yeah. But that's also a vibe kinda. But then. But then, like, let's say like a supporter comes up to me and they give me a hug and their handcuffs all sweaty. I'm like, I'm sorry, bro.
Josh
That wasn't me, bro.
Sebas
Because obviously I follow you. Yeah.
Josh
Try to make that clear.
Sebas
You'd be going to the gym, bro. And then you like, I've been trying, bro. Yeah. You take selfies without your shirt on.
Blessed
Yeah. You know, you look good, bro.
Sebas
You look good.
Josh
I never know what to do with those kind of photos. I like, sometimes I want to hard them, but then, like, you know, harden, bro.
Blessed
Like.
Josh
I do, I do, I do.
Sebas
But then I'm like, you know what I want to say.
Josh
I hope you know things.
Sebas
It looks like you have a really good pump.
Blessed
Thank you, bro. Yeah.
Sebas
Do you take pre workout?
Blessed
I don't actually. I stopped because it was giving me the shits.
Josh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Blessed
So now I just drink like a Celsius. But the powder pre workout, bro, I thought I had. What's it called when you. You have to like, you your brains out.
Sebas
Like, you thought it was like a laxative.
Blessed
Iud. What the is called? Yeah, lbs.
Sebas
Lbs. What's that?
Josh
I don't know what that means.
Blessed
That's pounds. Ibs that, you know, I listen that you're no power syndrome. Oh, yeah. So I thought I have some because I was just like every day at the gym, like, I couldn't even like, go through like my second set without. I was like, oh, really?
Josh
Yo.
Blessed
Yeah, but it was the pre workout.
Josh
Okay. Can I.
Sebas
Can I say something?

Blessed
That wasn't. That was energy.
Josh
We had both. We had hydration.

Blessed
Okay. My pantry, I have, like, a whole little quarter with just like.
Sebas
Me too. Me too.
Josh
Yeah. But like, I. I feel like. Because. Because even with pre workout, I hate the jitters. So you know how people get, like, the tingly feeling. I can't.
Blessed
I kind of like that.
Josh
He does too.
Blessed
Cuz I lost that feeling for a second after, like, just taking it so often.
Sebas
Yeah.
Blessed
I want that feeling again.
Sebas
You know, I. If it's not tingling my body.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
I feel like it's not doing.
Josh
When we came out with energy, he's like, is this gonna make me tingle? And I was like, on the contrary. I don't want the tingles. I don't like that. I can't stand that, bro. You love that. You were about that.
Blessed
Yeah, but, like, I haven't had the tickles in a long time, so.
Josh
Oh, yeah.
Sebas
Yeah.
Blessed
Because I just. I just chug it, Celsius. That's what it does. It does it for me.
Josh
This is a bro conversation. Ladies, I'm so sorry, but when you work out, bro, do you have, like. Are you following a workout plan or are you just going in there for a pump?
Blessed
Well, I have like a split.
Josh
Oh.
Blessed
Like, you know, like, chest. Try back by leg.
Josh
Okay, so you follow, like, some sort of, like, agenda. Okay.
Sebas
Bro, why don't you ever work out with us?
Josh
Yeah, what the fuck?
Blessed
I never got in my floor, bro.
Sebas
Let's work out. I got you.
Blessed
I see you go to the boxing gym, too.
Sebas
Boxing.
Josh
You want to start it? Don't say I see you.
Sebas
God, no, I. No. First of all, I just started going back again.
Josh
All right, let's go body right now.
Blessed
Oh, I'll be the ref.
Sebas
I'll never hit you, bro. Ever in my life. I would literally never hit you.
Josh
Why?
Sebas
I love you.
Blessed
He's like, why? Because I'll beat the.
Josh
Why did you regret that?
Sebas
You wouldn't, though. That's the thing.
Blessed
What?
Sebas
Oh, beat the out.
Josh
No, honestly, if we would have had a spar, like, let's just say. Look, if we would have to spar, I'll you up. You know what's. You know what's so crazy? I'm gonna let you have that.
Sebas
That's fine.
Josh
I'm gonna let you have that.
Sebas
I didn't bring it up. Did I bring that up?
Blessed
No, I brought it up. I brought the box.
Sebas
I never brought it up.
Josh
Take another shot.
Blessed
But yeah, bro, I'm gonna work out with you.
Josh
All right.
Blessed
Let's get it. Let's get it.
Sebas
No, no. All jokes aside, me and Josh, we search for the pump.
Josh
Yeah, bro. Really nasty pump, bro.
Sebas
We're such good gym partners.
Blessed
Eddie's like that too. Like, has me like, tickets.
Josh
Yeah, I do all that, bro. I do all that.
Sebas
Bring Eddie, bro.
Josh
I'm like water, lemon, salt. Yeah, I know how to eat.
Blessed
If you like a sweet treat during your workouts with the pump, you know.
Josh
What the sweet treat, the secret sweet treat is?
Blessed
Rice Krispies.
Josh
Or that Gushers hit harder and faster.
Sebas
You know what I mean? You know what I heard? Hit harder than that. Nah. Sour Patch Kids.
Josh
No. Almost the same as gushes. But here's the difference. So Sour Patch gets all gummy Gushers. What's inside the gusher?
Blessed
The juice.
Josh
Exactly. And that hits harder because it's liquid.
Blessed
It doesn't make sense.
Josh
You don't want to.
Sebas
No, it doesn't. Honestly, work out with me, yo.
Josh
Work out with me.
Sebas
He'll just watch you, don't you. You don't gotta take candy.
Josh
Yeah. We should do a vlog.
Sebas
You know, we should need to do what? A nice breakfast to give you the carbs that you.
Blessed
I don't eat breakfast before.
Josh
Who wakes up and eats breakfast? You're a lunatic if you do that. Like, if you wake up and within the first hour you're eating breakfast, Matt. You're a lunatic.
Blessed
It's hard, bro. It's hard.
Sebas
Don't be talking about my boy Matt.
Josh
You know what's so funny? You know how. You know how people know I adore Matt? It's because of how quick I am to talk about. But yes, breakfast is crazy. You eat breakfast right away, Matt. No, there's no way.
Sebas
You know what's crazy? If. If I'm on a sick diet. I wake up at seven morning and I'm eating eggs regardless if I'm If I'm hungry or not.
Josh
What about you?
Blessed
At most, I eat like a protein bar. Like, you know, at most. Really?
Josh
Did you eat breakfast today?
Sebas
What's your goal right now? What's your goal right now?
Blessed
I don't even know.
Sebas
You want to get ripped?
Blessed
Yeah, no, I want to. So I want to get like lean and toned for sure. But I want to get ripped as well. But I also don't want to be big body, which is hard. It's hard though, because, bro, like, I just drink, bro. And I know drinking is just like the problem.
Sebas
I. I think you look great.
Blessed
Thank you.
Sebas
If you want to look ripped. I don't want. I don't want you to be all big. I mean, if you want to.
Blessed
No, I think.
Sebas
I think if you just ripped and like, I think that's sexy protein. No, it's just not drinking. You can't drink from.
Josh
I think there's a world where he can. He's 23 years old, bro. His metabolism. You're old.
Blessed
Which is that. Which. That is my mindset right now. I'm like, bro, like, I'm gonna just get this out of my system right now, because I know eventually I'm gonna.
Josh
Alex. Yeah. I'm telling you right now, bro, this is the only age that you can with it, that you'll. This is the youngest you'll ever be and the oldest you.
Sebas
Can I say something? Can I say something?
Josh
Sure.
Sebas
He's right.
Blessed

Yo. I'm gonna ask you a serious question. Okay.
Blessed
All right. What.
Josh
What is your deepest fear?
Blessed
The ocean.
Sebas
Well, what about it?
Blessed
The ocean. Drowning in specific. I don't like drowning. Like to drown.
Josh
So dying. Drowning.
Sebas
Like you rather be burned. Burned. Burned alive.
Blessed
So that was like two separate answers right there. The ocean just. Cuz I just feel like I believe there's so much that we haven't even discovered inside the ocean. There is. Like me being on. Me being on a boat that. That makes me bricks. I'm going to go on a cruise this weekend actually. This weekend? Yeah, this weekend.
Sebas
Sponsored content or just on your own?

Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
What a life you live, huh? But you know what? You deserve it, bro.
Blessed
Of course.
Sebas
Ever since 14 when your web was all clean, you did that.
Blessed
They were hairless.
Sebas
Hairless, yeah.
Josh
Making content.
Blessed
Good times. Yeah, but osha scared of it and then drowning. I think I just created the trauma. When I was a kid, I was the type of kid that my thes threw me inside the pool and I gave you learn how to swim that way.
Josh
I did too.
Blessed
That's how I went.
Josh
Yeah, but did you learn how to swim?
Blessed
Yeah, I'm a good swimmer now.
Sebas
Oh yeah.
Josh
I'm such a good swimmer. I used to be a lifeguard.
Blessed
Really? Yeah.
Sebas
Oh my.
Blessed
Did you save anybody's life?
Josh
Like define save.
Blessed
Drowning. Pick them once a couple.
Sebas
Bro, you were not a lifeguard, bro.
Josh
Yes, I was.
Sebas
Like he sounds like he'd be saying just for the camera, bro.
Josh
No. Yes, I was right. Where? Where? I'll give you CPR right here, right now, dog.
Sebas
Yeah, I bet you would.
Josh
I swear to God.
Sebas
I bet you would. Huntington beach, wouldn't you like? Yeah. Oh my God.
Blessed
I used to have a CPR card cuz I took health class and they Give you the card.
Josh
Because they give you a card and the photo in it, and it says your name, your address, but expires. Yeah, expires, expiration day.
Sebas
But you're never a lifeguard, dog.
Josh
You know what? You know why people don't like you? Because you're a talker. No, cuz I never talk about you. I always respect you and you' so off. I do, bro.
Sebas
Anyways, this episode's not about you, my boy. Right here.
Blessed
All right. What's up, bro?
Josh
Second deepest fear.
Sebas
So you. So you rather drown? You. You rather not drown? You rather be burned alive?
Blessed
That's what you.
Sebas
That's what you said.
Blessed
Who said that wasn't my second biggest fear?
Sebas
Exactly. Okay.
Josh
All right. So what do you think happens when you die? I didn't expect a.
Blessed
Hold on.
Sebas
Hey, bro, just so you know, he has his hat backwards. This is big bad news.
Blessed
Why?
Josh
Yeah, why?
Sebas
Oh, you know why?
Josh
Why is that?
Sebas
Because that means that he. He switched the. He flipped the switch.
Josh
No, we should all wear our hat backwards in the honor of blessed.
Blessed
I'm wearing my hat backwards?
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
Why aren't you?
Josh
It's called. It's called mirroring the guest.
Blessed
Why aren't you?
Sebas
All right.
Blessed
Well.
Josh
All right. So are you. What do you think happens after you die?
Blessed
I don't know, bro. That's. Honestly, my friend asked me a question. He was like, if you could have one question answered ever, what would the question be? And that is my.
Josh
Dude, that's a brilliant answer.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
What happens after you die?
Blessed
Yeah, that's my answer right there. I don't know.
Josh
So you don't know. If you had a guess, it like.
Blessed
Someone'S like, I've just heard so many, like, different stories, bro. It's like people say that their whole life before their eyes, obviously, you know, heaven, hell, or like. I don't know, bro. I really don't know.
Josh
Sometimes I feel like as humans, we, like, feel like we need to know the answer to everything and sometimes we just have to admit that we don't know.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
And that's okay.
Blessed
And not even with that specifically. I just feel like there's so many things in life that we just don't know the answer to that we're just. Yeah, it. Yeah.
Sebas
You know why I believe in a.
Josh
Higher power that's not taken away from the higher power, by the way? Because I wanted to make that clear.
Blessed
Yeah, no, that's not.
Josh
I just, like, at the end of the day, I have faith, and faith is based on my own beliefs. But it's not necessarily like factual. Is that fair to say? And this is a little, this is getting a little way deeper than I thought it was gonna be, you know, I think that having faith, in order to have faith, you need, there's doubt that's involved. Right. And there's doubt.
Blessed
And that's valid, bro. That's with any person. Yeah, of course.
Josh
Exactly.
Blessed
Gonna have doubt.
Josh
Like, I was even like, Jesus, I believe in Christ. Yeah, me too. I believe in him.
Blessed
I grew up with it.
Josh
But that, that requires there's faith. And sometimes in faith there's a little bit of doubt. And I would be denying myself, be lying to myself. I was like, oh, I know that, I know that. I know that. I know I'm going to heaven. That's what it is. What it is. I don't, I don't know, man. And that's part of the journey of faith.
Sebas
Yeah, with. Having doubt means that you are very open minded. Because if you don't have doubt, that means that you're like locked into what everybody has to say.
Josh
Yeah, sure, right.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
So that's a good thing.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
That you having doubt. But brother's something out there for us, you know why?
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
Because we're made out of mush. There's no battery inside us, we don't have to charge. We're made out of liquids and straight mush. What keeps us alive? Who knows? Yeah, there's a soul in us. There's, there, there's a energy in us.
Blessed
Yeah, but you're making me like tweak out right now.
Sebas
Like, bro, you are made out of nothing. We are atoms. We are just matter. We. Yeah, we, we are not made out of anything other than mush.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
And liquids. But what keeps us alive? What is that spark that gives us in our brain and our whole body.
Blessed
To like, talk and move again all the time?
Josh
There is something, There is something there.
Sebas
There's, there's a spark in us, whether that be a spirit, whether that be a higher power. That's, that, that, that, that, that's giving us life. And that goes not, not just with humans, with, with animals, with. I mean, we are animals. We're mammals. We're just the top of the food chain. That's why we're able to, to be here.
Blessed
Do you guys believe in aliens?
Sebas
Yeah, I mean, I, I, Yes, I do. I do. Maybe not here, maybe not in our solar system, in the Milky way.
Blessed
Think that they come to Earth?
Sebas
Earth? No, I, I think they do eventually. Yeah. But either they do or we do. Over there?
Blessed
Yeah, yeah.
Sebas
100.
Blessed
I think so too.
Sebas
You think we're the only.
Josh
No, I think that we're in the solar system. This. This is my.
Sebas
In the universe.
Josh
I think in the universe that we. That we. No, hold on, hold on. I think in the universe that we coexist in. Right. The universe that we know in our world, in science, what they've proved, right, like, we're currently in the Milky Way. There's millions of billions of other galaxies.
Sebas
It's. The universe is.
Josh
I'm going to tell you something. This is my theory. It's a hot take. I think that we are the only living species in this universe. But I believe in parallel universe where there are other people who live in. Not in our universe in multiple way.
Blessed
Like. Like a multiverse?
Josh
Yes, yes.
Blessed
Like at different times. I don't go, sure, there's a portal. I could travel to another universe.
Josh
What you're saying you could?
Sebas
I think so. I think we don't know.
Blessed
Yeah, we don't know, bro.
Sebas
I think before we go on break, because we have to go on break.
Josh
Right now and take another shot.
Blessed
I need to take a piss before I take a shot.
Josh
Yeah, me too. Yeah.
Blessed
Oh, not again.
Sebas
I think that there is life out there in the universe.
Josh
Maybe in our universe. In this universe that we coexist.
Sebas
No, we live. When you say universe, we are in a solar.
Blessed
Besides Earth.
Josh
No. Our solar system. No, no, no. Not even. I'm sorry, I'm wrong. Our solar system is all the planets that are aligned around our sun.
Sebas
Yes.
Josh
Are you. Are our galaxies, the Milky Way and then there's trillions upon galaxies in our universe. But what I'm saying is. And listen to me, this has never been said in humankind.
Sebas
Listening in humankind. Okay.
Blessed
You're the first person to say this.
Josh
If you can't come in her. Come on, let's go.
Blessed
That was a good book.
Sebas
That is true. We'll be right back. Ladies and gentlemen, we have blessed on the podcast. And we're back and we have our hats backwards.
Josh
Come on, baby.
Sebas
Because that means in Josh's definition is that we're feeling good.
Josh
Feeling good, baby.
Blessed
We took a long break, so I.
Josh
Feel like that was a long break.
Blessed
It was a long break.
Josh
That was at least 30, 40 minute break.
Blessed
It was a vibe, though. There were some moments we were talking. I was like, I wish the cameras were.
Josh
Bro.
Sebas
Can I ask you something? Are you having a good time?
Blessed
Can you not tell? I'm having a great time.
Josh
He's having a blast.
Blessed
Does it look like I'm having a bad time.
Sebas
You want to hang out with us after or what? Or not. Oh, yeah.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
I'm down. Yeah. Yeah.
Blessed
Do I. Well, did y' all forget what I told you guys at Coachella? I'm a down ass fool, bro. Like, I'm outside.
Josh
You're single, right? Blessed, bro.
Blessed
I'm a solo dolo person.
Josh
What's your biggest ick?
Sebas
Yeah, like.
Blessed
Like, in what?
Josh
Like, if a girl. You go on a first date.
Sebas
Yeah. Like, what's a no.
Blessed
Like, bad breath. Let me say more personal level. Let's say, like, she's disrespectful to her parents.
Sebas
Oh, I like that. I like that.
Blessed
I like that.
Sebas
Yeah.
Josh
Like, she happens to call her mom.
Blessed
Exactly. Shut the up, mom. I won't talk to you no more.
Josh
Have you seen somebody do that?
Sebas
I have.
Josh
Me too.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
Isn't that crazy? It's crazy because I. I would never imagine myself maybe. You know, we're blessed with really good parents. Right?
Josh
Okay.
Sebas
Or parent.
Blessed
I think that's why. But I respect y' all because I could tell you guys have good relationship with you guys.
Sebas
Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing. But we also have to realize that in life, like, not all parents are the, like, the way that we were raised. Like, something.
Blessed
Exactly.
Sebas
They're up.
Blessed
I mean. Yeah. I mean, we. And obviously it's an ick. Yes. But, like, we don't know the backstory.
Josh
Exactly.
Blessed
Her mom was a piece of like.
Sebas
Exactly.
Blessed
So we don't know, but.
Sebas
Exactly. But I. I know what you mean.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
Yeah.
Josh
Because there should always be this level of respect that you have. Of course, at the end of the day, that's still your.
Blessed
They're the reason you're in this world.
Sebas
What's your experience?
Josh
Rude to, like, waiters.
Sebas
Yeah.
Blessed
How's it going? Yeah. That says a lot, right?
Josh
Bro, When I was single, I'd go first dates and stuff like that, and.
Sebas
They were like, how many?
Josh
Huh? Dates?
Sebas
Yeah. You on a lot of dates?
Josh
It was. Yeah.
Sebas
Well, you know, just leave it. It comes with the resume.
Josh
No. Okay. You know. You know. You know.
Sebas
I get it. You got rubies on the. On the pier.
Josh
And I see. Seeing them be rude, like, the way they respond, the way they interact, and.
Blessed
I'm like, yo, all it takes is like a please or like an egg.
Sebas
You, Bro, is that hard?
Blessed
It's not hard at all.
Sebas
It's not even that. It's like, who the you think you are talking to the. To the waitress or the waiter like that? Who the do you think you are, buddy?
Josh
Yeah. And then some people be like, yeah, you never know. They're gonna. Like, how they're gonna treat your food. I'm like, you never. The food. They're human. They're people.
Sebas
Yeah. What the.
Josh
Talking to them.
Blessed
And most of the time, like, let's.
Josh
Say, like, you're embarrassing me now. They think that I'm rude, and I'm not.
Sebas
That's the thing. That's the thing. That's the thing.
Josh
This is not a wee thing.
Sebas
That's the thing.
Blessed
I've been in a situation. I went on a date with this girl, and she was getting mad at the waitress because the food was bad. But, like, it's not the waitress fault. It's a cook.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
It's the chefs. Yes, exactly. So I kept trying to, like, kind of hit her. I'm like, hey, like, porcito, like, it's not his fault.
Sebas
And if the food is whack, then, oh, well, this restaurant kind of sucks.
Blessed
Move on with your life.
Josh
Listen, I. I got so much going on in my life. Life, okay? I'm a busy bee. If I order a steak, medium rare, and they bring me out a chicken breast, I'm eating it.
Blessed
I don't care.
Josh
I don't got room to nag, bro. Just. If I'm just grateful to have food in front of me, bro, I don't at all. I'll eat it.
Sebas
I'm the same way. Like, if I order a steak and they bring me chicken, life goes on.
Blessed
How do you guys like your guys's steak?
Sebas
Medium rare.
Josh
And if you answered any other way, full. You're not a man, man.
Blessed
I'm not a man, I guess.
Sebas
Well, how do you like yourself?
Josh
Let me guess. Well done? No.
Blessed
So I used to be. I used to be a well done.
Sebas
It's either medium rare or medium.
Blessed
I used to be a well done.
Josh
No, he's.
Blessed
I'm. I'm getting there, bro. I give you some time. I'm a medium well right now.
Josh
Oh, so you're. You're open to the idea that.
Blessed
Exactly. I don't like the blood, bro. I don't like.
Josh
It's not blood.
Sebas
It's not blood.
Blessed
Yeah, it's red. And it's just.
Sebas
It's meat.
Josh
It's like oxygen, codeine, and what does.
Blessed
It look like, though?
Josh
It looks like.
Sebas
Sure.
Josh
So it chips you out mentally.
Sebas
Well, at the end of the day, you're still eating the animal whether there's blood or not. You're still shopping.
Blessed
Now, like, I would appreciate Bro, do you take supplements?
Josh
Do you take vitamins and stuff?
Blessed
Not really, no.
Josh
No. Okay.
Blessed
But I should, though.
Josh
You should.
Blessed
Do you have some you could recommend?
Josh
I got to.
Blessed
All right. Please.
Josh
But when you order a steak, bro, and you order it medium rare, that's when you're going to receive all the nutrients. I'm talking the vitamins, the creatine, all that stuff that your body needs. That's when you.
Sebas
Creatine, baby.
Blessed
I like creating. But you see that?
Sebas
You see that?
Blessed
Yeah, it's cool. Popeye the sailor man I just went to. So I took my family for mother's Day out, not the Longo. And my uncle made a valid point. He's like, I feel like every steak is different as far as, like, if you like it this certain way cooked like, let's say like a filet, you would like it better than a. A ribeye. A tritip. Exactly. So I agreed because I had gone to Japan. I went to Japan like two months ago and.
Sebas
Are you flexing on us right now?
Blessed
No, I'm letting you.
Sebas
Is that what's going on?
Blessed
It was a little flex, but like, you caught on quick. Let me keep going though. I had a steak. It was like a Japanese wagyu steak. I had it and it was like medium rare.
Josh
Right.
Blessed
But I ate it. It was delicious.
Josh
Because that's how you're supposed to eat.
Sebas
Welcome to our life.
Blessed
Yeah, but like, I don't know, it's kind of hard.
Josh
You're saying, like, if you go to a Sizzlers or something.
Blessed
Exactly. I can't have a medium rare steak out there, bro. Is that, is that. Does that give entitlement? Like, is that like.
Josh
No, no, not at all. At the end of the day, it's preference. Right?
Sebas
So for me, this is like rule of thumb, whenever I go anywhere and I want to eat a steak, I always say medium rare. Cuz there's, there's, there's also. What is it called? Blue. Blue is even like, like.
Josh
Oh, that's below.
Sebas
That's below.
Blessed
Isn't that like just.
Sebas
It's almost basically just. Just se.
Blessed
Yeah, I saw that.
Sebas
But I do medium rare and I always say medium rare because there's a 50. 50 chance that the chef's going to overcook it.
Blessed
Yeah. Overcook it or undercook.
Sebas
Overcook it.
Josh
Overcook it.
Sebas
You know, the chefs normally don't undercook it. They always overcook it. But that's depending on where you're at. So I always order medium rare because I'm always going to land either, oh, the chef gave me medium rare, or he gave me medium, which I'm completely happy about.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
So it's always medium, right?
Josh
Yeah, it's valid. You like sushi?
Blessed
I love sushi.
Josh
Okay.
Blessed
For the, for the longest time ever growing up, I hated any type of seafood. Raw, like raw or seafood just like fish in general. Just anything. And then all my friends, they love, for example, like, the boiling crab.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
I would always get, I would always go with them, but I'd be the type to order chicken tenders.
Josh
Wow.
Blessed
I wouldn't eat.
Sebas
You're that guy. I was. Oh, you was.
Blessed
Let me, let me get the bigger. So I was. And then there was one day, actually made a whole little vlog out of it, and I tried crab for the first time and I was like, oh, this is not that bad. Yeah. So, like, now I'm at the level where like, I like crab, I like shrimp.
Sebas
Yeah.
Blessed
I can't, I like oysters. I can't do like, octopus or like, like that.
Josh
Okay.
Sebas
Yeah, I rather, you know, it's funny.
Blessed
I rather Texture guy.
Sebas
Yeah. I rather eat oysters than octopus. You're right.
Blessed
Me too.
Josh
He's still also very young. Taste buds are gonna adapt, bro. You have a lot of room.
Sebas
You're good.
Blessed
But I love my little brother who's 8 years old. He eats octopus.
Josh
Robert's kids, dude, they the slam oysters and they're like, like six, eight years old.
Sebas
Yeah.
Josh
So it's like, I don't know.
Sebas
But, but, but you're right. He's 23 years old. He was a baby 23 years ago.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
F. Don't make me feel like a little kid right now. You're like, little bro, me right now, bro.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
Don't ever do.
Josh
That's why people don't like you on the pod, cuz you like, disrespect our guests ass, bro.
Sebas
Okay. When you say that, it actually hurts me lot.
Josh
People don't like it.
Sebas
Don't say that, bro.
Josh
The comments like, yeah, isn't he.
Blessed
He has a burner account. He's the one commenting that.
Josh
Yeah, isn't he? I wouldn't doubt it.
Sebas
People love me, okay?
Josh
They do.
Sebas
And they're backing me up right now.
Josh
They do, bro. They do.
Sebas
They think I'm funny. They think I'm lovable. They think I, I, I am. I'm not approachable. I'm approachable.
Josh
Would you say that you're an approachable person?
Sebas
I think he is.
Blessed
Yeah. I, I would say so.
Josh
For sure.
Blessed
I'm always nice. Yeah.
Sebas
What's the number one thing people, like, come up to you and say to.
Blessed
You they think I'm, like, a funny guy. Like, I don't know. What do you mean? Like a supporter?
Sebas
Yeah. Like, what's the number one thing people say when they come up to you?
Josh
Yeah, yeah.
Sebas
Yeah.
Blessed
I always hear people just say, like, I'm just nice to them when they come up and ask for a. Yeah.
Sebas
What about. What's your favorite sex position?
Blessed
Why are you saying it was such a serious tone? Why didn't you laugh when I laughed?
Sebas
Well, because it was a serious question.
Blessed
Okay. It just changed up real quick.
Josh
This is a very. This is a very mature podcast, bro. Okay?
Sebas
We're talking about what's your favorite sex position? Like what? Like, you know what? No, hold on.
Blessed
Missionary.
Sebas
Missionary.
Josh
Can I tell you something?
Sebas
Okay. I like that. You know why? Because that means that you.
Blessed
Because I like eye contact.
Sebas
Yeah. You respect. You respect.
Blessed
I respect the intimacy.
Sebas
I love that about you.
Josh
You know why they call it intimacy, right?
Blessed
No, I do.
Josh
Because into me. You see?
Blessed
Wow.
Sebas
You didn't know that?
Blessed
I didn't. You knew that.
Josh
So I duh, you see? Oh, joining souls.
Sebas
I love when you teach people.
Josh
I think.
Blessed
I think the eyes are a big part of the human body. It's like, you know, they are. It's like the soul, you know?
Josh
Well, they're the windows to the soul.
Blessed
And to me, you see, I did not know that.
Sebas
Well, that's the whole point of being intimate, right? Because I want you to see that you're looking at me and I. And I with you and. And I want you and. And, you know, everything that I'm doing right now to you is because this is what I want in my life for. For myself and you.
Blessed
I agree.
Josh
What is a. What is your biggest misconception? Like what. How do people.
Sebas
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Sorry to interrupt you.
Josh
That was a phenomenal question, by the way. That was so good.
Sebas
Okay, remember that question?
Josh
You do not see when you do missionary, and to me, you do not see.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
Are the legs on your shoulders or are they on your chest?
Josh
That's not missionary. You're so flawed as a human.
Sebas
That is missionary.
Josh
No, it's not.
Blessed
What is that one called?
Josh
That's. That's.
Blessed
I thought it was just like a different.
Sebas
Well, there's versions of missionary.
Blessed
You asked my question for me. There's different versions.
Sebas
There's different versions of missionary.
Josh
No, that's a different missionary specific position, bro.
Sebas
What is It. Okay. What's missionary?
Josh
Missionary's legs on the side. Okay? Over the.
Sebas
That's v1. That's v1.
Blessed
That'S v1.
Josh
There's a different name for that. You guys don't have sex ever. Pull it up.
Blessed
What the. Is gone.
Sebas
Okay. It doesn't matter. What's the missionary? Is it legs on the side?
Blessed
Like. Like you said? It just varies, you know, I'll start with legs on the side. You know, that's not what the legs up.
Josh
You know, that's called the Advil sex position.
Blessed
Who the fuck calls it that, though?
Sebas
Yeah. Nobody. No.
Blessed
You will never ask somebody, what's your favorite sex position? They're gonna say Advil sex.
Josh
Let me ask you a question. Touche to your touche. If somebody said, my favorite sex position is missionary, do you automatically go there? That's. No.
Sebas
I automatically think you're in front of me with your legs up, but are they on the side? Are they on the shoulder? Are they on my chest?
Josh
He said missionary, and that's missionary.
Sebas
That's missionary to me.
Josh
They're like V3. It's not. It's not. That's Anvil. I love that position.
Blessed
You didn't even know that, bro.
Sebas
If I was a girl. If I was a girl and then you. Me.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
And he said, oh, I love that way that we did the Advil position. I'd break up with you immediately.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Oh, she's saying, wow, you're just not. And then she'd go like this.
Sebas
Sure. Well, good luck finding that one. But if you said, oh, my God. Do you remember when I did the Advil position?
Josh
That's missionary. There you go. That's missionary. That's.
Sebas
No, I know. I knew that already. But as real.
Blessed
Okay. As.
Sebas
As. As. As. It's either you do it on the side, you do it on the.
Josh
No, those are different positions, bro.
Sebas
I understand.
Blessed
When I think of missionary, it's just like. Like you are facing your partner. That's it. Like, bro. No matter how. Like the.
Sebas
You know, whenever you do missionary, you start like that, and then. And then you do that, and then.
Josh
Okay, you ready for Anvil?
Sebas
I would not say Anvil.
Blessed
You just learned that word today, bro.
Josh
I've been knowing that, bro. Hey, you know what city I live in? Anvil.
Blessed
I'm not, bro.
Sebas
No. If. If. If I knew a guy that said, oh, did you like the anvil position that we did the other day?
Blessed
That's just the Nick.
Sebas
Immediately. Immediately.
Blessed
Ick.
Josh
Bro.
Sebas
Comment down below. If you think that's A nick.
Blessed
All right, all right.
Sebas
Anyways, what were you saying?
Josh
No, I was asking what is the misconception about you? Like, what is something people say about you? Like, for example. For example, like, Sebast has a lot of misconceptions. No, Medium sick does not have blood. Anyways, Jessie distracted me.
Sebas
I don't have any.
Blessed
I would say I've seen a couple people just like, come on, be like, bless. His rude. Like, he didn't want to take a picture with me. I will never. And I've never denied a photo from anybody that comes up to be dust for a picture, bro.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
Just because I always think about putting myself in their shoes, right? I'd be like, bro, they're probably so excited to come up and, like, see me and be like, oh, like, bless everyone's a treaty. Of course I'm gonna take my treaty. You know, all it takes is 30 seconds every day to do it.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
Yes, hello. I'll do it for sure. So I've seen a couple of people.
Josh
Like, you know, they categorize you as rude.
Blessed
Exactly. Oh, like, bless, it was mean. He like, he didn't want to ask for a picture. Or like, he me when I met him. I'm never gonna be mean, bro. Never, bro. Never. And that's a good. My biggest thing is, you know, I'm always gonna remain humble and grateful for 100 what I have. And I know at the end of the day I would not be who I am if weren't for the people supporting me.
Josh
How did you learn that?
Blessed
I would just say just how. How I was raised, bro. My mom, my family. I feel like I have a really. I'm really close to my family. I'm really family oriented. So I just think just having the people around me just constantly reminding me that, like, you know, at the end of the day, you got to know who you are and how you got there. And you gotta always express your. Your gratitude for it because, you know, you can't forget where you came from, bro.
Sebas
100.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
What's your biggest misconception?
Sebas
Mine?
Josh
Yeah, shut up. Well, answer the question.
Sebas
I. I think my biggest misconception. Misconception.
Blessed
Misconception.
Sebas
Misconception. Misconception. Yeah, you're right. That sounds better. Is that I play too much.
Blessed
Like, what do you mean?
Sebas
Like, I around too much. I'm never serious.
Josh
Oh, so Sebastian's never serious.
Sebas
I'm never serious.
Blessed
Yeah, yeah.
Sebas
Like, I think that's the previous episode. We were like, oh, it's cassette. Doesn't take anything Serious. He's always joking around. Well, yeah, I am. So. I don't really take anything serious. I really don't.
Blessed
Yeah, you're right.
Josh
Yeah, I know.
Sebas
Because at the end of the day.
Josh
Because, because you take everything light hearted and you just have fun with life and you're just.
Sebas
If I know that it has to be something I really have.
Blessed
Of course.
Sebas
Serious. Of course I'm gonna take it seriously.
Blessed
I could tell you to like, shut up, but you won't take it serious.
Sebas
Yeah, like, I was raised with a very powerful mother.
Blessed
Of course. Yeah.
Sebas
She taught me well and I know how to act. But at the end of the day, life is life. We're all gonna die. So I'd rather laugh it out than be too serious.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
But.
Blessed
Amen.
Sebas
Of course I take things serious. What the.
Blessed
When it's necessary, you know, Definitely time and place, bro.
Sebas
At the end of the day, I'm laughing through life.
Blessed
Of course. Because I take life too serious.
Sebas
No, that is the best medicine to laugh it out the whole time.
Blessed
Life is too short to be heaven's word.
Josh
Yeah. And if somebody gives you about that, bro, that's just kind of, that's just kind of sad like, because it just seems like their perception is. They have the wrong perception. Like, life is precious. Life is short. Life is, is in this moment. So. And we have the options to either view it in a, in a manner where it's light hearted and fun and precious, or it's very serious and it's very. Like, we gotta be like.
Sebas
And I take my life serious, but I take my life serious and I look at that serious life that I have and then I make fun of it.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
And then I move on.
Josh
I just think that you don't take yourself too serious.
Sebas
I don't take myself serious.
Josh
No. But by the way. By the way, and I'm sorry, I meant that as a compliment. Yeah, I don't mean that.
Sebas
Yeah, I know what you meant.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
Like I don't take it serious because I, I am very. I'm a very confident person. So I know what I'm about and I'm. And the people who know me very personal know that what I'm about and that's it.
Blessed
Well, if the people around you do not give a. Why should any. Why should you care what anybody else thinks?
Sebas
Exactly, bro. 100.
Josh
But that's something that.
Sebas
So that's my misconception, bro.
Josh
Like you have to kind of work through that.
Blessed
Yeah, no, obviously it's easier said than done. Yes, exactly.
Sebas
Yeah, yeah, that's my misconception.
Josh
What do you wish people knew about you?
Blessed
That obviously, you know, I showcase my life, and I'm always doing something, you know, I'm always. No, I'm living life to the fullest right now. And obviously I'm at the age where, like, I want to do what I do right now. I want to make all the mistakes I make right now. But, like, my life wasn't always like that, you know, Like, I didn't have it to be for one day to another, you know, Obviously, like, I had to work for it in a sense, as, you know, just posting my content, being consistent with it. But there was a time where my life wasn't easy, you know, Like, I didn't grow up having handed to me. Like, my family wasn't raised where I was a spoiled child. Like, no, I understand struggle, and I feel like people kind of get that misconception of me where you had it.
Josh
All handed to you.
Blessed
Exactly. Yeah. And I. I didn't. And I am so blessed. I'm super blessed, bro. And I. And my followers that know me, know me, and they know that I always. I'm always vocalized how my life literally did a whole360 because of the people that follow me and support me. So, yeah, I just. I want people to know that I am so grateful for what I do and, you know, and for what I have, and I would never take that for granted. Definitely.
Josh
What is the. And I saw this on a pod. I'm stealing this question. This is a good question. And I was like, like, damn, what is the best piece of advice anybody has ever given you?
Blessed
Oh, damn, bro. These questions are hard.
Josh
We said we're gonna go deep.
Blessed
Lesson. Yeah, no, hold on. I didn't expect.
Sebas
Yeah, they're hard when you guys have been drinking shots.
Josh
Yeah, this is when I get faded. This is kind of going, what is.
Blessed
The best piece of advice someone has given to me? Can you guys give me your. Yours? And then, like, kind of give me.
Sebas
Yeah, sure. My. My best advice was we don't live in my world. As in, like, my. My life doesn't matter. Like, life is about everybody, right?
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
I think that if you live your.
Blessed
Life.
Sebas
Without thinking that everything circulates or revolves around your own life, because sometimes we get that idea of each other.
Josh
Is like, everybody's fixated on you.
Sebas
Fixated on like, or. Or not even that. It's just kind of like, like, why are. Why aren't things happening the way I want them to be? Or why aren't Things happening? Yeah. Why aren't things happening like this way? And. And the only ways that. The only reason why they're not happening that way is because you have a. A certain mentality that things should happen the way that you think.
Blessed
Of course.
Sebas
But you have to realize that in life, humans, the world, animals, they don't think the way that you do. Yeah. You know, we might have some. With some.
Blessed
What.
Sebas
What is it called? Oh, my God.
Josh
Perceptions, Ideas?
Sebas
No, like something similar. We might have some similarities. Similarities.
Blessed
There you go.
Sebas
I couldn't think of that word right now. Why couldn't I think of that word?
Josh
It's a hard word. Third grade.
Sebas
We might have some similarities to each other. Right? Like the way that we think.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
But at the end of the day, like, you wake up and I wake up, and we don't think the same. We don't. As humans. We don't.
Blessed
Of course.
Sebas
And some humans think that everybody thinks the same as them. That's actually like a thing. Like, you wake up and like, I'm a human. You think all humans think the same way.
Blessed
It's like I'm acting this way. You shocked us.
Sebas
Yeah, but it's not.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
So the best advice is that you will live a happier life when you finally understand that not everybody is just like you.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Oh, that's good.
Blessed
That's really good.
Sebas
Thank you.
Blessed
I like that one.
Josh
Yeah. You just came up with that shit, bro. I've received a lot of good advice. A lot of the best advice I've been given is probably from my mom. 1. The first one that came to mind. And I don't know if this is the ultimate answer, but she used to always tell me, this is too shall pass. So I get so fixated where, like, I feel like the. My world is crumbling because of a problem that I have. And it's just like, if you just understand, like, time passes and it just all works out for your best interest. Like, God is for you, not against you.
Blessed
Of course.
Josh
And you have that mindset. You adapt that mindset that, like, you just have a different perspective on life, that you just understand, like, man, this is hard and you can have your moment, but then you just move on, you know? Because everything passes, bro. My hardest things that I've ever been through have led me to this position because it passed. I'm not living in the angsty that I've been like, that.
Blessed
I don't focus on the past.
Josh
Exactly.
Blessed
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would say I. Yeah. Kind of like, similar to what you were saying, like I feel like I was really big on like holding grudges on people and like, you know, just kind of just not having to focus on the past and moving forward. And I feel like a lot of that has to do with the energy you put out is the energy you receive, you know. So you guys have heard of like the golden rule, right? Treat others the way you want to be treated as vague. And you know, that sounds, that's why.
Sebas
It'S the golden rule, though.
Blessed
Yeah, no, of course. It's like that took a while for me to learn, you know, just because it was kind of like I was getting mad when I wasn't receiving the behavior I thought I deserved. But, but it took a while for me to actually take a step back and realize I was like, honestly, like, why do I feel like I deserve that when I'm not really putting my.
Sebas
Whoa.
Blessed
The exact energy.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
Into that, the way that I think I should be receiving. So that's something I've worked on a lot where for example, like relationships with friends or even like that, like I would get mad at my friends because they wouldn't check up on me when I was like sick or something like, let's say. But like they've been sick so many times, like I call myself not doing the same. So it's like, come on, bro, if like you want, you know, what goes around, comes around, you receive what you put out into the world. So I think that has been like my biggest thing, bro.
Josh
I love that, I love that. And I feel like I'm a big testimony to that because I, I feel like my life is surrounded by love, of course, enjoy. And people who like genuinely love me. Like, I have the most incredible group of friends in my life. I'm so fucking blessed.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
And I give so much to the people around me and they give it right back, bro.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
And it's just like, it just, it's just a pure representation of like when you give love, you'll receive love. And this is like a weird like example. But for, for birthdays, like for people like my friends and stuff like that, something I like to do is like, obviously like I'll call them and I'll take the time to have a full on conversation with them and yes, I talk to them about their birthday, happy birthday and stuff. But I'm like, I check in, how are you? How's everything? And I want to just listen and I want to just love them. Right. Like let them feel love.
Blessed
That was a long way, too long way.
Josh
And for birthdays now, guess what happens on my birthday. My phone is blowing up through the roof because people want to give me that love. And I had one friend tell me that, and he goes, you called me for my birthday. You made me feel so special, bro. So I wanted to give that back to you. And it's that same kind of synergy. Like the way you treat people is the way the energy that you're.
Blessed
And I feel like that a lot of people struggle with that, you know?
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
As far as, like, they always wonder, like, oh, why don't people give a about me? It's just like, what do you really do?
Josh
What have you done?
Blessed
Yeah. Yeah.
Josh
You got to check yourself first.
Blessed
Of course.
Josh
That's really what starts. That's the answer right there, bro.
Blessed
And I struggle with that for a long time. So I feel like, yeah, I've gone a lot better with that as well.
Josh
And you're only 23.
Sebas
Damn.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Imagine when you're 23 and a half.
Sebas
I think we have a. Jess, put up a section.
Josh
I'm so sorry. Just had a whole show for us and we just completely disregarded it.
Sebas
Yeah. So I think we should start that up.
Blessed
Let's do it.
Josh
Jess, we're ready for you, girl.
Rachel
We have a sheet called platicanos and people from listeners, people from the.
Josh
All over the world, bro.
Sebas
All over the world.
Blessed
Love it.
Rachel
Send us in whatever it is that they're kind of going through. Looking for advice. Sometimes it's. Am I the. Sometimes it's relationship geared. Sometimes it's like perspective of a man. So I pulled some relationship advice that people are looking for. If that's all, if that sounds good, let's do it. This first one's anonymous, but it was from a guy.
Josh
Don't this up, dude.
Sebas
Anonymous. Anonymous means they don't want to, like.
Blessed
Well, I know what anonymous means, bro.
Josh
Are you serious, bro? What's your biggest accomplishment? Have you seen those videos?
Blessed
That wasn't that funny.
Sebas
That was a bit. Yeah. I hope you know that was a bit. You think I'm serious? You think I didn't know that delivery.
Josh
Terrible delivery.
Blessed
It sounded.
Josh
Yeah, that sounded really serious. You don't know. That's why people don't like you.
Sebas
I know because I'm that good.
Josh
That good. You're too good, bro.
Blessed
All right, let's hear it.
Sebas
Stop saying that.
Rachel
I've been dating my girlfriend for three going on four years in August. Should I pop the question? She gives me hints, but wants to move in first for one year before marriage. Should I Wait. Or should I ask her before.
Blessed
I.
Sebas
Have an answer for this?
Blessed
I feel like if she's making it clear that's what she wants to do. I feel like you should follow along, bro. Like, you know, move in with her, you know? That's a valid answer. She wants to live with you before she marries you, because I feel like living with your partner unlocks a whole new side than actually, like, going on dates and everything, where, as far as, like, if you're actually living with them, you're gonna see him every day, day to day life. And I feel like that's gonna unlock a whole new 100 character, you know?
Josh
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here, okay. Because not everybody has that mindset. You know, you have more of, like, an open mindset, like, hey, I think we should live together before we, like, get married and stuff. But what if they're like, that's not the way I was raised. And I believe in. I believe in. You need to, like, give me that kind of success. Security before I commit to something that. That.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
You know, I see what you mean. Big.
Sebas
Yeah. Can I say something? And I'm probably gonna be on tick tock for this. I think it's so stupid that you have to marry somebody in order to move in with them. I think that tradition is dumb because I think it's better if you learn.
Blessed
With them that you. What you sound like you're what you.
Sebas
Sign up for, and you test it out.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
So what if the love of your life. Life told you.
Sebas
How do I know that's the level of my life, though?
Josh
What, like, what if you never have loved anybody as deep as you have loved this human?
Sebas
Sure. Okay.
Josh
And you were like, hey, I think we should move in together. I'm so deeply in love with you. You're the. You're the love of my life.
Sebas
Yeah.
Josh
And he goes. She goes, I. You are everything for me. But I truly believe that I want to be. I want to have that security.
Sebas
Yeah. I'll marry her first, then you would.
Blessed
But.
Sebas
Yeah, but what I'm saying is, like, this is cool. I'm just talking in general about the whole, I' ma marry you first, and then we're gonna move in together.
Josh
You think it's old school.
Sebas
I think that's so old school.
Blessed
But don't you think you definitely see a person in a different limelight?
Sebas
Yeah.
Blessed
You see them every day. Compared to you. Going on dates.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
Living with each other 100.
Josh
You do.
Blessed
So don't you think you want to Unlock that level of that person before you actually commit to them. Because you want to marry somebody to stay with the rest of your life.
Sebas
Obviously.
Josh
Now, I'm not trying to be that guy. This is not like a pygmy. Okay. Because, by the way, I agree with you. Obviously. I live with my girlfriend. We're not married.
Blessed
Right.
Josh
But I could also understand the fact that, like, as men, when we get comfortable and complacent, we tend to drag things out a little bit longer. So if we get the access to live with them and everything is good and they're acting like wifey, and they're acting like wifey, but we haven't made that official.
Sebas
I agree then. And it's very important. It's very important.
Josh
So it's like, yo, why don't you live with me first? Let's make sure it works out. And then we're living together for five years and you have to pop the question.
Blessed
But this exact, exact situation is one year before marriage. So they want to live together for a year and then get married.
Josh
That's how it starts, though.
Sebas
Yeah, that's how it starts. So let's make it an alert. An alert moment that if you are going to go through the route of not marrying first, don't get too comfortable.
Josh
Right.
Sebas
Because then you're the red flag, right?
Blessed
Yes.
Sebas
Right. Okay. So let's just get that. Yeah, but yeah, I think the whole, like, I'm not going to live with you until I get married. I mean, when you go buy a car, do you. Do you test drive it?
Josh
Do you test drive the car?
Sebas
Do you test drive the car before you buy it?
Josh
I mean, I've pulled the trigger before. No, test drive it. Heart notes. What it wants.
Sebas
Okay, so you're one in a million.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
You touched right now, but you know what I mean, right?
Josh
Of course.
Blessed
Yeah.
Rachel
Yeah.
Blessed
I think.
Sebas
I think that's very old school, bro.
Josh
It is, it is. I mean, I couldn't imagine a world. It's like, it's like. I mean, like.
Sebas
Because everybody that I know that has lived with their partner before marriage are actually very happy and either A, they actually, like, broke up or B, they stick with each other because they actually.
Blessed
Isn't it such a more beautiful story is like, we look together for like the past five years. We're finally getting married. We've been together for this long, you know, it's like. Yeah, it's like. No, you. You built up to it.
Josh
No, for sure, for sure. I mean, I, I could.
Sebas
It only makes more sense.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Personally speaking, I couldn't imagine marrying somebody, committing my life to them without inter, like coexisting with them in the same household.
Sebas
But also as a Romeo. Cuz I, I like to, I like to think myself as a Romeo. A lot of people of us, a lot of guys out there are Romeos. The ones that like to be in relationships. The ones that like to live a romantic life. I think that's who I am. And I think it's also cool too that like you meet a girl, you fall deeply in love and then you start to marry her and then it's just such a cool little job to like start living with each other. And I understand that you're playing 50. 50. Yeah, but that also is really cool.
Blessed
Yeah, but. And like I just imagine that, yeah, that should make me feel good.
Sebas
Right? Like that's kind of cool. Right. But I think if I was like playing a game and I would have to put my money on, I would put my money more on people who have lived with each other before.
Blessed
That's another point.
Josh
You're wrong. Wrong. Scientifically proven. And just can look this up. Most relationships last longer when they just like when they move into with each other after marriage. Scientifically proven.
Sebas
I think they're lying.
Josh
Look it up.
Sebas
I think you're lying.
Blessed
Who told you that?
Josh
God.
Sebas
Look, I think it's lying. Ladies and gentlemen.
Josh
No, this is, this is true.
Sebas
And if you are, I'm, I'm. That's like a, that's like a fact that I like that I liked it to be.
Josh
What does it say?
Sebas
True.
Rachel
Research generally suggests that relationships where couples move in together after getting engaged or married tend to have a higher chance of lasting longer than those who live together before engagement. Studies indicate that cohabiting before engagement is associated with higher rates of divorce.
Sebas
Well, I mean, that only makes sense because like what do they feel? Trapped?
Josh
What did I say exactly?
Sebas
That only makes sense because if you marry somebody, then you finally move in and then you finally marry. When you finally move in and you're married, you're like, well, I gotta make this last.
Josh
Yeah, if you guys are just contradicting everything you just said though.
Sebas
No, I'm not.
Blessed
No, you played devil's advocate five minutes ago.
Josh
The status, I said the status of like people who get live together, they have a higher chance of divorce rate than people who like get married and then they, they move in together.
Sebas
Yeah, but let me tell you the reality.
Josh
But now you're saying. Well, because they have to force each other to. No, bro. Because no can you go deeper into. Here's why.
Rachel
Jess waiting until after engagement or marriage to move in together can signify a stronger level of commitment and shared understanding of the relationship's future.
Josh
So basically, she's saying, like, I'm gonna certify. I'm gonna, like, guarantee you that when I marry you, I'm in it no matter what happens. Basically what you're saying, but you're doing the vouch of commitment versus, like, marrying each other. There's like a 50. 50. Like, well, let's just see if it works, bro. You're married, you're in it, so you're gonna make it work. You're gonna go through the hard times.
Sebas
Yeah, but that's what you're saying. You're gonna make it work.
Blessed
And it sounds forceful, but. Because.
Sebas
What you just said is. No, I'm not saying all of them are forceful, but sometimes.
Blessed
Of course not.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
You know, people.
Sebas
I. I guess. I don't know. I still don't think this is, like, true, but I think that if you already live with them, it's easier for you to say, like, nah, I'm good. Or, yeah, to dip.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
Or like, yeah, but, like, don't you think that's right? I'm not saying it's right. It's up. But don't you think, as a person who live with somebody, instead of saying, well, I live with you now I gotta marry you, don't you think it's better in their own personal life if they just left each other because they know that they. It wasn't gonna work?
Josh
I'll continue to play devil's advocate. We live in a generation now where there's so many options because of dating apps.
Blessed
Right.
Josh
So people have a hard time committing to people because what they're looking for is the grass that's greener on the other side.
Sebas
Sure, but that's a different story.
Josh
It's the same thing.
Sebas
We're talking about, like, people who are committed to each other.
Josh
What?
Sebas
We're talking about people who are committed to each other.
Josh
I'm saying that if.
Sebas
No, I get it. I. Trust me, I get it.
Josh
Yeah. But I'm saying, like, we do live in a tough time now. Right.
Sebas
And it's only going to get tougher, baby.
Josh
So. Exactly. So, like, living with somebody, like, moving in with somebody off the gate, there is a possibility. There's more chances of you just saying, calling it quits. Then if you were to be like, yo, I'm going to marry you, and then we're going to live Together.
Sebas
Yeah.
Josh
There's more of a commitment at stake. That's just, that just makes sense.
Sebas
I. 100%. I, I agree.
Blessed
I agree too.
Sebas
But what do you think is going to be the better relationship? A couple who's lived together for a while and the guy married the girl and they live happily ever after, or the guy who married the girl and then they live with each other and we assume that they're going to live happily ever after. Where are you going to put your money at?
Josh
Well, according to the data, I'm gonna go with the couple who just jumped into the marriage and just made it like, okay, okay. But bro, I'm.
Sebas
You're playing devil's advocate.
Josh
Yeah, but I'm with my girlfriend now. We live together. You know what I'm saying? But I just remember, like, I remember hearing that stat where people, like, people that just get married and then they live together, tend to be having more of successful marriage. That's just what it is. That's the numbers. Men lie, women lie.
Blessed
That's shocking though. That's crazy.
Josh
It's crazy.
Sebas
Yeah.
Josh
Because of the commitment ties, bro. The commitment ties is what it is. If we, We.
Sebas
So I guess the answer is, who's. Are you truly happy?
Josh
So if we decided to start a podcast, we've never met each other, like, yo, let's start a podcast. And from the jump, we sign a five year contract, we are stuck till this five year contract. Do you think we're going to make it work versus, like, yo, let's just.
Sebas
Of course we're going to make it work. Of course we're going to make it work.
Josh
See what happens. Who money? Who you're gonna put your money on? The people who signed the five year contract or the people who just said, hey, let's just see what happens.
Sebas
No, 100%. But when it comes down to marriage.
Blessed
Yeah, you guys are having.
Sebas
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't want. I don't want my relationship to be based on a contract. Does that make any sense?
Josh
It does, it does, it does.
Blessed
It's a tough one. I guess it just all depends on the situation and, like, how the relationship is and, you know, the circumstances.
Sebas
But for her answer. Yeah, Move in with each other first. See how you like it.
Blessed
Yes, I agree.
Josh
Or ask them to get married.
Sebas
At the end of the day, it's gonna happen. Whether you with them or not, it's gonna happen.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Yeah. All right, next question.
Sebas
That's a great question. Anonymous.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
Anonymous, prime this one's.
Blessed
From M's with two S's.
Rachel
Yes. How do you make a man fall in love? What do I do to overcome my overthinking?
Blessed
So you G. You guys waiting for me to answer first? Yes.
Sebas
These are your questions.
Josh
This is your episode. G. Where's. Here for the ride?
Blessed
Well, it's kind of hard, bro. I mean, I haven't really been in a committed relationship for, like, the past four years of my life. Wow. Yeah, I've been single.
Josh
What was your longest relationship?
Blessed
Like, two years.
Josh
Okay.
Blessed
But it's just like sophomore year, junior year of high school. Yeah. So it's been a while. I've had talking stages here and there, you know, that's.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
Five, six months and then. But what has worked for me, I just feel like your consistency as far as, like, showing that you care for me and wanting to make time for me, and, like, I'm a really understanding guy, you know? Like, if you're busy, I'm not gonna be blowing up your fucking phone. I'm not gonna be like, yo, like, I want you to. I want to know where you're at, what you're doing. But, like, communication, you know, I want to be able to know what you're doing, but if you let me know ahead of time, like, you know, I always want to be kept in the loop and not want to feel like I'm not a part of what you're doing, you know? Does that make sense?
Josh
Yeah, it does make sense.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
So that's.
Josh
You're not trying to be controlling. You're just trying to be in the know.
Blessed
Of course. Exactly. Like, if you are going on, let's say, like, I'm dating a actress, babe, I'm gonna be filming for the next six hours. I'll text you after. That's all I want, you know, after six hours later, how'd it go? You know, that's all I want. You know, Just update me, keep me in the loop. I just feel like I'm really big on communication, so just. I just want a partner who communicates.
Josh
Someone who can demonstrate that they have the capability of communicating.
Blessed
Exactly. You know, because I feel like a lot of people lack that, you know, it's hard. And I feel like a lot of people don't really know how to express the way they feel now.
Josh
Emotionally intelligent.
Blessed
Exactly. And I'm really big on emotions. And, you know, I just want to know that you care about me, and I want to know that you know, that I care for you, you know, So I feel like, yeah, Just communication.
Sebas
I love that.
Josh
Yeah, that's good.
Sebas
Next question.
Blessed
You guys want to add on?
Josh
I say, I think for me, like.
Sebas
Like, that's your question, bro, But I.
Blessed
Want to know your input, too.
Josh
If I had to put it in three pillars, it would be vulnerability, honesty.
Blessed
Honesty's a big one, too.
Josh
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn, I had lost it there. Vulnerability, honesty, and. Yeah, communication. I want to know that they're emotionally sound, and you know what I mean? Like, they're able to, like, fully communicate their emotions, you know? Because, like, sometimes people. I feel like they bump heads because they expect you to know what they're thinking and what they're feeling. But I can't understand what you're thinking or feeling. But if you can communicate that with me, then we can get to a middle place where I can. I can help and I can assist, and then I can take accountability or whatever it may be.
Blessed
Yes.
Sebas
I think mine is. It's very simple. Just make me laugh.
Blessed
That too.
Sebas
I think humor and laughter.
Blessed
But, like, you care about communication.
Sebas
Of course. Of course.
Blessed
Say that.
Sebas
No, of course.
Blessed
Communication. I was thinking more into the deeper side of things, you know?
Sebas
And I love that. But I think, how do you make a man fall in love? Make me laugh. That's the first thing. Yeah, obviously, that's what needs to be.
Blessed
Triggered first, because you're not a boring person, you know? Yeah.
Sebas
Like, make me laugh. Like, are you funny? Are you. I don't like being with people that are all serious all the time.
Blessed
Yeah, me either. I agree.
Sebas
Make me laugh. The. We're talking already, right? Take a shot.
Josh
What you heard of me right now?
Blessed
Wait, I thought you were talking to, like, the girl right now. I didn't know you were talking to Josh.
Sebas
Well, he's a girl, bro.
Josh
I'm that.
Sebas
You want. You want to pour your guest and myself a shot or not?
Blessed
I'm down if you're down.
Josh
All right, well, because you said that. I'm down.
Sebas
Well, hurry up, though.
Josh
All right. All right.
Sebas
Like, damn, bro, you move slow as, bro.
Josh
You know what? I don't like you. We asked you a serious question, and you. You.
Sebas
What serious question.
Josh
Like, how do you make a man fall in love?
Sebas
And what I say, make me laugh.
Josh
Pour me a shot.
Blessed
Hey, but what did he say? Like, like, 30 questions ago? You said you don't take life serious.
Josh
Don't take life serious. Yeah, it shows you, nimwit.
Sebas
All I said was how to make a man fall in love. Guys. Guys are simple. Make them laugh.
Blessed
That's a good One you immediately start like the entry you're immediately in. Yeah, but how does she keep it going? You know, it's like these 23 years.
Josh
Only schooling your ass.
Blessed
Maybe that.
Josh
Who tell me a knock knock joke? You're pathetic.
Blessed
I'm sorry. I don't hate you, bro. That was a good one.
Josh
Do you want this shot or do you want your casadores?
Sebas
Oh, that be funny.
Blessed
You went cuz a little.
Josh
You're all mad.
Sebas
Yeah, I'm mad at you. Well, I'm at war with you.
Josh
What's the next question?
Rachel
This is from Alondra. How long does it take a guy to know they want to be in a relationship? How long should the talking stage left?
Josh
Yo, straight up, I feel like guys know right away.
Blessed
Is that what you're gonna say?
Josh
Pretty damn fast, bro.
Blessed
I agree, but.
Josh
But we'll it.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
So at least I did.
Blessed
So I have a couple girlfriends and a lot of them are big on like the three month rule.
Josh
Okay.
Blessed
So it's like, I guess, like what you got to give your talking stays the three months because that's when like they obviously, it's like the, like the honeymoon stage, you know, like they're gonna do their best to make you fall in love. But after three months, like, you know, a lot of. By then a lot of people tend to get comfortable and like, stop all that.
Sebas
Exactly.
Blessed
They stop doing all the romantic. Yeah. You know, and everything. So I feel like some people fall into like the dating stage too soon, where they want to date right away, but then they get too comfortable and stop doing all the romantic start. But I also have some friends that also tell me they're like, why even do a talking stage? Dating is to get to know the person. Dating is to get to want to build that relationship and get stronger with them. So it's just kind of contradicts itself in a way, you know? So I don't know. It's a hard one.
Josh
Yeah.
Blessed
What do you guys think?
Josh
I feel like I'll know if I really want to be in a relationship with somebody if I'll truly know within like four dates. That doesn't mean I'm gonna do it, doesn't mean I'm gonna jump into a relationship, but I kind of get the indication I can feel it out from the person. You know what I mean? But I also think in like, that talking stage is very important because when you're committed to a relationship, right. It's. It's like you're. You're tied in with that person. Right. Like It's.
Blessed
But isn't it stage, like, technically dating?
Josh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't think so. Because I could talk to multiple people. That's what I would do.
Blessed
Yeah. I mean, bro, I'm the same way. Yeah, I agree. You know, I'm just trying to. Playing devil's advocate, bro.
Josh
I've dated, like, and I really lived in that experience, you know, I talked to multiple people. I try to figure out what I want. I'm not saying, like, I'm hooking up with everybody, but I'm, like, talking. I'm figuring out if I have a connection with them, you know, but pretty quick, I can know if somebody. I'm like, you know what? I can see myself building a relationship with them. I can see it.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
You know, and then over time, it'll kind of expose itself. Like, for example, like. And I'm kind of putting my girl on the spot here. But, like, I waited four months, almost five months before I asked my girlfriend to be my official girl.
Blessed
Bullshit.
Josh
What I got. I did, bro. I swear to God. We started talking in November, December, and I didn't ask her till April.
Blessed
I do remember him and Mo told me that.
Josh
Yeah, we waited, bro. And I took the time.
Sebas
Waited for what?
Josh
You know what's funny, bro? I just wanted to see. I wanted to give myself the time I want. I respect myself enough as a human.
Blessed
But I do also remember you telling me by, like, the third month that you guys were already basically dating.
Josh
Yeah, bro. By the second, our second or third day, we went to topgolf. I'll never forget it. She was wearing a pink tracksuit. And I remember she. I was looking at her, and I was like, I can see myself dating this girl. Immediately, I was like, I can see myself.
Sebas
Did you guys hook up already?
Josh
No. No.
Sebas
Can't stand you with a straight face.
Josh
We didn't. We didn't. We didn't. We didn't. We didn't. No, no.
Sebas
Sure, buddy.
Josh
No, no, no. Okay.
Blessed
No, no, no.
Josh
We didn't. We didn't. We didn't. I'm laughing because I have a funny story about it, but I'm not gonna expose it on the podcast.
Blessed
But to answer Alondra's question, I would say, like, yeah, four dates. I feel like, yeah, you know.
Josh
You know? Yeah, yeah. It's just be in a relationship, not fall in love. Like, could you see yourself committing to this person?
Sebas
Exactly what you mean?
Blessed
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
You know, pretty quick, you be like, you know, I mean, what? Can see myself now? Am I going to do it? I don't know.
Sebas
Yeah, but I can see it.
Josh
Yeah. Language is everything. You know there's a difference between a butt dial and a booty call.
Blessed
That's right.
Sebas
Butt dial and a booty call.
Josh
Language is everything. Think about that.
Blessed
Cheers to butt dials and booty calls.
Sebas
Oh, we have a shot, huh? Chos, can we touch cubs? Let's touch C. Let's touch cs. Let's touch tips.
Josh
I have another quote. If you want to live a life where you don't look at the price tag, then you got to work a life where you don't look at the clock.
Sebas
You just saw that on a podcast that I saw.
Josh
I was like, yeah, that's pretty good. Cheers, bro.
Sebas
Cheers, bro. Hey, bless. Thanks for being here.
Blessed
Thanks for having me, bro. I'm having a great time.
Josh
Well, add a little more enthusiasm when you say it, dog. You know, I'm saying nobody believes you.
Blessed
I don't. Ready? We, like.
Josh
Do we have another question, Jess?
Blessed
Yeah, hold on. Let me. Let me say.
Josh
Oh, okay.
Blessed
Well, thank you guys so much for having me. I'm having a amazing time, bro. I love it, bro. I'm so happy I'm here.
Josh
Bless him, everybody.
Rachel
Bear with me. Long story short, I fell in love with my best friend. We talked.
Sebas
I love that.
Rachel
And it remained clear that while we do love each other, he is not in love with me.
Josh
Whoa.
Rachel
He left that pretty clear. And I really do feel like I'm in love. We had sex one time after a couple of drinks, and it was amazing. He's waiting for it to happen again, but I don't want to because it's hard enough as it is. Should I distance myself or should I try to get it together and save the friendship while putting up boundaries?
Blessed
It sounds like he's struggling with something deep down inside of him. You know, if it sounds like he's not ready for commitment, obviously he likes you. If he wants to have sex with you and want to do it again, but, like, he wants to keep having fun where you're ready for a relationship and he's not, you deserve better. Keep him as a friend.
Sebas
I mean, hey, yo, if. If he doesn't with you, I got, like, mass single friends that'll with you, like, hit me up. Hey, Brianna.
Blessed
What you look like?
Sebas
Yeah, like I need a pig. You know what I mean?
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
It is what it is. Keep rolling.
Josh
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
Blessed
What?
Josh
We haven't done a long episode like this in a minute.
Sebas
I know, bro. Hey, that's why, though. That's what point, cuz.
Josh
We haven't had the right guess.
Blessed
Ah man, that's the answer I wanted to hear.
Josh
That's true though.
Blessed
I appreciate it. I'm honored. Honestly, I didn't expect it to be this long.
Sebas
Are you honored?
Blessed
I'm actually super honored, bro.
Josh
Like I said, bro, I come honored for honor.
Blessed
That word, bro. Honestly, like when it comes down to podcasts like my previous ones, I just feel like I've always like felt awkward.
Josh
Why?
Blessed
I just don't feel like I could fully be myself. Where like I said, I hung out with you guys previously. So like, you guys have created a comfortable space for me to come in and like just me want to be myself. Because I obviously feel like you guys.
Josh
Bro, to your, like, to your point. I definitely feel like sometimes when we bring on a new guest who's never met us, it takes like there's a little bit of a learning.
Blessed
Of course. Yeah.
Josh
But like you, you got in. We were hanging out earlier.
Blessed
That made it so much more smoother.
Josh
Yeah. And even be like between breaks, we're like chopping it up. Long ass.
Blessed
Long ass breaks. 30 hour.
Sebas
So what would you rate it?
Blessed
Us? Probably like one through ten. I get like nine.
Josh
Yeah, like a nine.
Blessed
Yeah.
Josh
I give you like an eight.
Sebas
I like a nine.
Blessed
What about me?
Sebas
You? Yeah, my guests are always a 10. I'm just privileged to have you guys.
Blessed
Bro, that's a PR answer.
Josh
Yeah. That was so dumb and stupid of an answer. He asked you like a personal. Like, yo, what about me?
Blessed
Like off camera, fool. Like be. Be straight up with me.
Josh
Yeah, bro, that's why people don't like you. I figured it out. You don't shoot them straight, bro. All my guests are 10. Blessed as a man. Say, what do you rate me, bro? Oh, my gift or ten?
Blessed
You gave me an eight. No, no, you just said that. No, no, I heard you.
Josh
No, no, you said eight. No, did I say that?
Blessed
You did. You said I give you an 8.

Blessed
Okay.
Josh
No, bro, this is, this is an amazing episode, bro. We don't do two hour episodes often. Yeah, I'm against them. Ask the whole team. I shut them down immediately.
Blessed
Really?
Josh
Because retention span. I want people to be engaged the.
Blessed
Whole time, but I feel like it's been engaging.
Josh
Exactly.
Sebas
Which is why it has lasted.
Josh
This is why I haven't complained. So that's to Give you your flowers.
Blessed
So, hey, eight.
Sebas

Blessed
To you, too.
Sebas

Josh
Oh, my God.
Sebas
Especially you.
Blessed
I just know you're bullshitting about.
Josh
Yeah, bro. You know what I'm saying? This is your Gemini coming out of you.
Blessed
You're a Gemini?
Josh
Yes. Typical.
Sebas
You believe in that?
Blessed
I don't, but I just heard about Gemini.
Sebas
I don't. All right.
Josh
We have one more question that Jess has geared up for us.
Rachel
I've liked this guy since I was little. We grew up together and have known him since kinder. We're now about to graduate high school. I think he also shows interest, but we're both too scared to tell each other anything. Should I be the one to make the first move?
Josh
Yes.
Blessed
Yeah, I agree. It won't hurt. Do it. He says no. Okay. You're still my friend. You feel me?
Sebas
Yeah, I agree. I. I think if you. If you're the. If you're the woman and you're the first one to ask, I don't think that, like, because this discredits you in any way, you might love that because you're taking initiative.
Blessed
Maybe he's probably. He's too scared to do it.
Josh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Blessed
Devil's advocate. What are you gonna say?
Josh
No, I was gonna say it just. It just sucks because in her mind, she wants him to do it. Right? And I get it. I get it. But life is so short and so precious. This. If you feel a type of way, like, just tell them, like, I'm just gonna show you straight. I like you.
Sebas
Yeah.
Josh
What's up?
Sebas
Yeah, I also feel like, as a man, if you grow up knowing somebody since Kinder. Kinder means kindergarten. If you guys didn't know kindergarten, if you've known her since kindergarten, as a man, it's hard to come out like that. It's hard to, like, say those words as a man. It really is.
Blessed
It's a long time.
Sebas
It's a long time. You don't want me.
Blessed
You don't want to make guessing as well. Yeah. He doesn't know. If you're gonna feel same type of way exactly.
Sebas
You're second guessing.
Josh
You're like, she's taking the same chance.
Blessed
Exactly, exactly.
Sebas
So it doesn't hurt to say anything. Like, obviously, like, in. In a perfect world that we do not live in, it would be best if he said something. Right, Right.
Josh
Right.
Sebas
Which. That's what society tells us as well.
Blessed
Exactly.
Sebas
Is that the man needs to make the first move. That's what society tells us But.
Josh
I'm down with that. Like I said, I'm down with.
Sebas
Which I think the man should still say something. But as men, I agree. We are scared to ruin the whole relationship. I'll give her.
Blessed
Because he cares for you so much that he doesn't want to even take that risk and lose the opportunity to even be.
Josh
That's a cop. Exactly.
Sebas
That's a cop out.
Josh
That's a cop out. That's a cop out. I think it's a cop out if he's. He doesn't want to take the chance to risk, to lose a relationship. Cop out, bro.
Blessed
What's cop out?
Josh
The fact like. Like, it's like an opportunity just to be like, oh, no, I didn't want to take the chance.
Blessed
It's an excuse.
Sebas
It's an excuse.
Josh
You were saying scared. Because now what I was gonna say was, if she tells him, yo, I like you, and then he goes, oh, my God, me too. I was so scared. She's allowed to call him a little for not manning up and saying, I give her permission, I'm gonna own that. Yeah, you little. You couldn't even tell me now we're still on date. You little.
Sebas
No, I get it. But, like, bro, the whole time you have a relationship as friends, like, really good friends.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
So he might have been scared, bro. It's okay for the guy.
Josh
You say he might have been scared, insinuates that he liked her, that he likes her.
Sebas
That's the whole thing.
Josh
We don't know. We don't know.
Sebas
She basically said, like, we both like each other. That's what I got out of it. That's what I got out of it.
Blessed
She said. I think he also shows.
Josh
I think the.
Sebas
She thinks.
Josh
No, like, I think. I don't know.
Blessed
I'm. I'm understanding that he. They are both single, and obviously maybe, you know, they're both waiting to just get with each other.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebas
Yeah. But I. I do not think it's a bad idea if the girl just wants.
Josh
I don't even. But like I said, if he goes, oh, my God, me too. Too little.
Sebas
If anything, it's like, super green flag for the guy to notice the girl saying things like that. Because I would love that. Oh, my God. And this girl, like, just said that, like, oh, my God. I respect her so much.
Blessed
Yeah.
Sebas
Like, that's so hot that she said that. Oh, my God. But, yeah, I don't think there's nothing wrong with the girl saying, like, I agree.
Josh
No, I agree. I agree, bro.
Blessed
I say do it. Take the risk. Why not? Like you. Like Josh said, life is too short.
Sebas
Life is precious. That goes with everything, bro. Take the fucking leap. Who cares? Some people. That's why. That's why some people never get what they want. Because they never really reach out for it.
Blessed
They were too focused on the what if. What's that saying? You know what I'm saying.
Josh
Yeah, I do, too.
Blessed
Focus on the what if.
Josh
No, it's the other way because just.
Blessed
You know what I'm talking about. Okay.
Josh
No, to focus on the what if versus on the why not? No, that's not it.
Blessed
Just search it like 2. Focus on the what if.
Sebas
Hey, don't we all look like characters from Rocket Power?
Josh
My head's not backwards anymore.
Sebas
Oh, that means you gotta take a shot. Take a shot.
Blessed
Take a shot.
Josh
