never ends but that's that's what you got to do you know i was talking to my my
wife my lovely
wife the other day and i was talking to her because she's got this great idea
for a show
and we kind of been working on it and i was telling her that all you got to do
is just
complete this thing right like that's the big thing with uh the difference
between something
happening and not happening is you completing it not this person not that
person not the people
over there it's you because there's a lot of shit out there right now everybody's
like oh my god i
would have happened if it wasn't for this gatekeeper and it's just like okay
all right so this person's
a cunt but there's a million people out there find somebody else make it
yourself if you like this
person kills it if you allow them to if you're going to give them that much
power you know
if you're out there right now and you got something that you want to do just
fucking
complete it if you complete it
you know it's gonna happen as simple as that i know that's stupid but it is
and um i used to be one of those people i would not complete shit i would oh
could i start shit
nobody nobody nobody was better at starting things and not completing them you
know starting a book
starting of script starting this starting working out starting fucking whatever
and just not finishing
it i still have problems with that but what i i started to do is i realized
that
not finishing things had seeped was was part of my whole life
you know i'd come home from trips i wouldn't unpack my luggage would be sitting
there for like a
fucking week and then the next day more shit that i needed to you know handle i
didn't handle and the
next thing you know my apartment would be a mess and what i started to
understand is that every day
there's going to be shit you don't want to do so you should knock it out so
then you know the next day
you don't have to deal with that day's problems and the day before and also by
doing that it taught
me to complete shit like when you come back from a trip you haven't come back
yet until you've unpacked
and done all of that shit you know and then the next morning you wake up you
know and everything's
fine you finish the dishes from the night before you finish them you dry them
you put away you come
downstairs clean fucking slate it puts you in a better mood and it also it
becomes a discipline
that part of eating is is washing the dishes drying them and putting them away
and then you start to
become this person that starts shit and then they finish it you got an
infection they give you the
antibiotics what happens people don't finish them and then these fucking
asshole germs they get stronger
the doctor says take all the fucking shit till it's gone it's what you do but
that's not what
people do they don't listen they don't fucking listen so that's my thing if you're
like me and
you procrastinate and you want to get something done you don't fucking get it
done just start with easy
shit you know just shit like that doing the dishes the night before waking up
making the bed
completing shit
completing shit and then it becomes it gets in your fucking dna and it will bug
you i i literally you
know my daughter will go over uh her nana's house or whatever and she'll come
back she brings back the
scooter or the bike second i see that thing sitting there i take it i bring it
out to the garage and i put the
fucking thing away i don't wait until the next morning now i'm waking up the
bed isn't made the dishes aren't done the
fucking bike and all of a sudden my wife goes could you do me a favor and then
i'm just like what what is it
now right i'm flipping out and she's like where did that come from oh it came
from because i didn't do
all the shit i needed to do the night before
so i don't know if any of this shit makes sense but like i'm telling you
you start doing that shit becomes who you are and then it seeps into whatever
the fuck it is you want
to do and you complete shit and then as long as you're not fixated on results
like i can only equate it to my business like i'm going to put out a stand-up
special and i put a
stand-up special and i would become the biggest comedian there ever was right
that's a ridiculous
expectation it's like i'm putting this shit out and some people are going to
see it and some people
are going to like it and then you know what i'm going to do it again and i'm
going to do it again
and i'm going to do it again and then eventually i'll have enough fucking
people where i'm gonna draw
on the road and then all of those ones that sort of underperformed and it didn't
get me where i was
wanted to be people will then go back and watch and then all of a sudden you
have this body of work
that's how it works so whatever whatever your fucking deal is whatever your
dream is
oh billy inspiration face is that what i'm doing this week i don't know it was
just something i was
thinking about because the other day i was talking to somebody and they were
like
they were just doing that shit well if i do this and what if this happens
what if that happens hey what if that shit doesn't happen what if you don't
give a fuck
and no matter what you just do it what about that
well i don't want to do that that's scary well then go fuck yourself all right
that's the podcast
everybody
