Uh, underrated. Advice going into 40, slash advice going into 40. All right,
underrated.
Your 30s. Bill, I am the happiest I've ever been, and I think it's because I'm
in my 30s.
Look at that, people. Everybody in your 20s who don't want to be in your 30s.
Here's something
positive. I don't care what people say. I'm 100% into my own shit these days. I
wish I focused more
in my 20s and wasn't such a dummy. No, no, that's what your 20s are all about.
Your 20s are all about
making mistakes. Your 30s, you look back, you figure it out, and guess what?
Your 40s are even
better. You just keep fine-tuning it, you know, until you're like 70. And then
that's why everybody
loves a fucking cool old man, because if you did the work throughout your life
and you keep trying
to be a better version of yourself. Oh, wait, didn't somebody say that the
other night at an
award show? I wasn't even that much of a dummy, and I still say that. I wasted
a few years at a job
that I knew I didn't care about. Well, who doesn't do that? I had a girlfriend,
and we loved each other,
but it doesn't matter, because when you're going in one direction trying to
pursue a dream, and she's
going in the other, it eventually snaps. Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with
that, because if you didn't
go after the dream, there's a very high percentage that you would eventually
resent her, you know?
And then you take it out on her, and then it dies. Or you don't resent her, you
put it on yourself
where it belongs, and then you're just depressed, and then she leaves you
because you're just a fucking,
you know, wet blanket to hang out with. I don't know. You got to go after the
dream.
Anyway, I think if I can hold on to this through my 40s, 50s, and so on, then I'll
be really happy.
Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. You do that, and then you're not afraid of dying.
I don't mean you have
like a death wish, but you really just look at death, that it's going to be
this peaceful thing,
and it's going to be this great release, and be thankful that you were alive,
and got to live,
and did the things that you wanted to do. You know, if you're lucky enough to
live into your fucking
old age, I think that you handle it with grace. That's, that's, I mean, the
very least, I mean,
that's the fucking attitude to go into it with, because it's going to happen,
right? I don't know.
That'd be a funny fucking master class. How to die. Anyway, as a guy who had an
amazing run in his
30s, how did you keep it going? Oh, me? I had an amazing run in my 30s? Dude,
my 30s were tough.
Those are rough ones. But I think I was a sort of unique case of, my case was
special. I was really,
really, really shut down in my 20s, and into my 30s. So my 30s is when I became
my angriest,
because what I wanted, what I really wanted was to be married and have a big
family. That's what I
always wanted. And I didn't know how to do it. So I thought going on a stage
and acting like an
idiot and getting people to like me, that the girl of my dreams was just
automatically going to walk
up to me like, wow, I saw your show. You're really funny. Do you want to get
married? And I'd be like,
okay. Like, that's literally, I mean, that's a simplistic version of how I was
going to be in my
life. But what I was really doing was I was, you know, not working on how anti-social
and how much of
a loner and what a fucking walled off protected place I had put myself in. So,
you know, how did I
keep, how did I get out of that is more of the question is, I don't know, I
just started going to
therapy and I started working on myself. And I also kind of like, when I looked
at shit that I wasn't
happy with in my life, rather than blame other people, I was trying to see how
I was contributing
to it. And then, I don't know, once I started thinking positive, I really think
that I started
to go back to who I was before all the bullshit that happened to me happened to
me. And I don't
know, it's like you see that light and then you're like, oh, fuck. And you just
start running towards
it. And now, like, I don't know, after being super negative and depressed and
all that, now I'm on
this other place where it's just like, if I feel that shit, I'm hypersensitive
to it. And I just know
when I go play drums, you know, go to the gym, you know, go play with my kids,
you know, take the
family out to a restaurant, go do some fun shit that, you know, I can look
forward to and I immediately
can get myself out of it. And I also got rid of a lot of fucking, you know,
other damaged people who
weren't working on themselves. That's the big thing. If you're a damaged person,
I mean, I'll forgive you
for that shit. But if you're not working on yourself and you're fucking taking
your childhood out of me, I'm
out. So, you know, that's another good thing when you get older is you're able
to fast forward through
relationships because, you know, you met that type of a person before and you're
just kind of like, oh, I
know what this is. And I know how this ride goes. And guess what? I'm getting
off before the ride even
fucking starts. That's the best. That's the best.
Bye.
