The Old Version of You No Longer Exists - E4 | S3

[00:00:09] Welcome back to the Unspoken Truth Podcast. It's been a hot minute. We're in season three now. Super excited about it. In today's episode, we're gonna be talking about a version of you that people still think exists. You know, do you know that kind of version of people?

[00:00:27] Yeah, everyone still accepts that. They think that you're who you were or the old you. No one thinks that change is gonna happen or growth can happen. They just expect you to be the person that you were. Yeah. I feel like, you know, sometimes people know your past better than they know your present. Well, yeah, of course, because they only hold on to what they want to.

[00:00:48] Yeah, that's true. Have you ever noticed that some people only know the version of you that they met? And no matter how much you grow, they still treat you like that old person? Yeah, just like in consideration of the podcast. You know, we're growing something, we're branding something, but everyone's like, Oh, no, it just started out here. You're only this. Yeah. And it's become so much more. It really has. So we're gonna dive into some things real quick, but because I've got a couple questions, because we started off this season, Cody is a very busy working man,

[00:01:17] because some folks have asked where Cody's at. And I'm like, well, he's working, you know, and he's also a dad. Busy. Yeah. So cool. My grandson's four months old now. My daughter's graduating high school. Yeah. That's freaking awesome. My son's playing baseball and band and all the great things. Man, list. Yeah. I'm working five jobs. He's working. And a podcast. I love it. Yeah. All right, cool beans. I just want to give everybody that update because they were asking. Oh, well, if you're asking, I'm single now and I'm free. He's single. I got more time and I can.

[00:01:48] You know, we love it. You know, I mean, it is what it is. It is what it is. It happens. All right, cool. So we're going to dive right in. So I feel like people get comfortable with old versions of us. Growth makes a growth, you know, growth makes everybody uncomfortable in a sense. I don't know what kind of growth. You're stupid. Hell. Good growth is good growth. Yeah. But there's also growth. Sure. If we're talking about the same growth, I'm not very uncomfortable with that. I mean, I'm pretty uncomfortable when I don't grow. Right.

[00:02:18] Yeah. That part. But yeah, so I feel like growth makes others uncomfortable. Some people need you to talk to stay small. Family often struggles with change and then social media can preserve the old outdated versions of us. So have you ever felt misunderstood by people close to you? Of course. You. Oh, we love that. Misunderstood in what capacity? Mm.

[00:02:43] And that I know what I'm doing and like, let's just say, hey, bring it up just because I went through a recent relationship, but just say like, well, my mom would always tell you. Yeah, I'm stuck in the situation, but I know what I'm doing. Yeah. You know that. So misunderstood in the in the respect that your friends or family may think that you're in a bad situation or that you're doing something that you that isn't good for you. But ultimately, you know, you have an angle. You know what you're striving for.

[00:03:12] You know what you're working towards and you know the best option for you. People just need to. Ride the wave. Okay. And do you. Okay. Do people still. What about you asking me? What about you? I feel misunderstood by people for a lot of the time. I mean, it's given in my career of life like people. I'm always misunderstood. I'm either the loud obnoxious person or I'm either the quiet person and I'm predictable. I'm a Gemini. So.

[00:03:42] So it can go on a whim of things. So I mean, it just it just differentiates by the person that who knows me and it's very different for each person or a typical situation. Yeah. Yeah. All right. And so when we talk about growth, why do you think people resist growth? Fear of change. Yeah, definitely fear of change. And also on the outside on the other part of it. Jealousy. Jealousy is a big deal. People. People want.

[00:04:14] What you're doing or what people want to benefit from the fruits of your leg. Absolutely. Yeah, they do. And they're scared to do it themselves. Because they're used to riding on coattails. I know. But when you do it yourself, it's so rewarding and it's so great. And so many good outcomes come. Outcome. Come. Come. From it. That's a lot of. So many great. That's a lot of. A whole lot of. That's a lot of. That's a lot of. But yeah. No, I get it.

[00:04:43] Like come from it. It. Yes. A hundred percent. My microphone. I got it. I hope they can hear me still. Pull it up. Yeah. Part of the blue girl. There you go. Perfect. There we go. Even better. We are in a new. New studio. If we didn't mention. Yeah. We're trying some new studios. We're not used to any of this, but lovely. Lovely studio. It's great. We're looking for something more. We.

[00:05:12] We love our previous studio, but. You know. We do. We just. Often imitated. Never duplicated. So. Yeah. It's nice to bounce around. It is. And we want to change it up a little bit more. So that's why we're here right now. We're trying out of things. So there's a couple of kinks that we're working out, but here we are. Yeah. All right. Cool. So we're going into my next segment, which is just outgrowing old labels of ourselves. Say that again. We're outgrowing labels, old labels. Because you and I both know. I know. I would say in our industry, but in our life, we're labeled some kind of way.

[00:05:42] Of course. How do you. We're going to go into years like bad boy. Like everybody loves a good bad boy. Why do you think you're giving that bad boy label? Because people hold on to what I used to be or what I was once known as. Which is not. Which is fine. No, I'm not. You know. Okay. Sure. Just. I used to get in trouble. I used to fight, you know, X, Y, and Z. We could go down the list. Yeah.

[00:06:07] But people remember you as that and they're not open minded enough to think that change is good. Change is broken. Like, I'm like that person. You know, we have milestones. The milestones are like, so I have a cousin and this is just in general, but my cousin recently that we've, I've been talking to. Um, he's about 27 ish, I think. And he was, he's noticing some changes like wanting to get away from some of his friends and the friend groups and the stuff that they're doing.

[00:06:36] And I told him literally, and you don't acknowledge it until you go through it. Cause you're like, no, you know, I know better, you know, young, I know more better. But, uh, there's, there's milestone. There's those age ages that you hit and you realize changes your mind changes, your body changes. Like he's 27. And like I told him, that's about the age that I realized that I was actually an adult twenties. I thought I was an adult, but I wasn't.

[00:07:04] And then getting into my thirties, you know, it's supposed to be better than your twenties and everything, which is, they were great. Yeah. But for some reason, for me, it's going by tens right now. So like I'm 37 and the past fuck off. In the past, um, year or two or two ish years, you know, like I've noticed some changes. Yeah. So maybe about 35 and I noticed, you know, like I'm now pushing 40 and I'm not thinking the way that I once was, you know, things just different and your mindset, your mental health, everything. No joke. No.

[00:07:34] And I was talking to somebody about that the other day too. Cause I just feel like with us given in our lives now at this point, and when you realize that you're an adult, there's so much overhead and so much going on. Like I don't have time to fuck up. Like I don't have time just to be that person who you thought was like, I've got too much going on. And that small fuck up could just be detrimental. And it's like, no, you, or even being the, I don't want to say that. I don't want to say the sloppy friend or anything, but even just being the one that's dancing on the tables at the bars that it's a past life. Yeah.

[00:08:04] Yeah. And it's not me no more. You can't be that way always. Well, you know, and it's funny and I'm going to reference, we will use code names. Um, just cause when I went to Oklahoma, not too long ago, a mutual friend of ours, she was just like, I thought Braden was more fun than this. And I was, I used to be, I was a hot mass fun. But at this point in my life, I'm okay drinking my beer, people watching and just having a good time. I'm not that crazy person that was before. He's still in there, but I don't care to bring him out. Yeah. And having drinks and going home by 10 or 11, rather than staying out and closing the

[00:08:33] bar at two. And then going home and just drinking more and like, and driving home. Yeah. It's just, it's not worth it. Like, especially when you've got so much going on and it's yeah. And it, and a lot of people, they don't understand that because they're still in that position. But even aside from, let's, let's get, let's get past that. Let's get off that subject. Even aside from the partying or that kind of aspect, even in relationships, you change your, your, your, your beliefs, your, your wants, your desires, your goals. Yeah. Your perspective, but it all changes. Yeah.

[00:09:03] You know, I mean, and age is a big factor too. It really is. It just is. Yeah. All of those changes. And I feel like sometimes people don't allow room for your healing just because your old identity made them comfortable. That's their fault. Yeah. You've got to move and learn, you know? Yeah. That's their fault. So it's not, it's not my problem that if you're, if you're stuck in the past and I'm moving forward, when you get left behind, that's your fault. Yeah. Yeah. You move with me or just stay what you're, do what you're going to do.

[00:09:32] No problem, but I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. You're either hopping on this train or you're not. So, so it just in general in your life, cause I hope that I've never made you feel this way, but in general, like have any of your friends or people that you know, made you ever feel guilty for changing? You have to, I'd say the past life. Let's talk about past tense. I mean, so yeah, of course. Yeah.

[00:09:58] I mean, and I can tell you a number of reasons, like, uh, let's say when I'm on my drug base, of course they do. Cause they, they want what you can get, you know? Um, or relationships that's hard for friends or family to see you go through those changes in, in not being able to see you as much or do things with you or, or they may feel left behind because they're still single or whatever, or maybe in a relationship, but

[00:10:28] stuck in that way. And you get in this relationship and you both want to go that path. Yeah. I mean, to an extent. Yes. Yeah. I know. I went down a couple of paths that, uh, we love a good Cody. Man, it's always entertaining and oblivious by love. And I've got to just learn to just sit my popcorn and just watch. Relivious by love. No commentary. It is what it is, man. I love being in love. I love being in a relationship. Yeah. And I love that for you.

[00:10:55] And I feel like within just in general too, with when you have people in your life, you're just going to be supportive because if that's what makes them happy and they're trying to do that. And that's the biggest part. Yeah. Is being supportive and letting them figure or find out, of course, always be there, protect if you need to, but being supportive. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And sometimes the saddest part of growth is realizing some people only love the version of you that no longer exists. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So do you, okay.

[00:11:23] So, and you can ask me some, we're, I have bullet point teleprompter stuff and Cody can see them now, which is wild. So if you want to ask some questions. All right. I'm trying, I'm trying not to steal his, uh, flame and read them, read them for him. No, you can go and dive into it too. I don't have my glasses. I didn't see letters up there and they're a little blurry. Okay. So when do you stop explaining yourself? Say that again. When do you stop explaining yourself? I don't normally. Well, okay. Valid. Valid. Valid.

[00:11:51] You shouldn't have to explain yourself. Yes. Like you should, you shouldn't have to explain yourself. Okay. So we'll change gears on that and I'll change it up. Like, how do you handle people who won't see the new you? Okay. One of, one of two things. Yeah. Leave them behind. Yeah.

[00:12:19] Or require them to show you that they, they are beneficial to the new you. Okay. I like that. A thousand percent. Show me why you want to be here. Yeah. Show me why you belong. Yeah. Or prove to me. You don't have. Yeah. Just prove to me. It's proved to me that you're not going to hold me back because I'm growing whether you like it or not. I'll leave or not. Yeah. This train is still going. You better get on or not. Yes. I want everyone, anyone to move and be beneficial for their life and everyone around them.

[00:12:50] But if you can't show me why, and if I don't feel a reason why, then there's no reason for you to be around. Yeah. And I think just some people just get so used to that old version of us that they think that this new version of us is going to revert back or that they're, we're going to change and it's like, yeah, that's exactly right. Revert back. Yeah. And it's not like I want you and it really is just going back into the train thing. Like I want you to come with me, but you've also got to outgrow what I've outgrown to

[00:13:17] make sure we're on the same level because I'm not going to be consistently wanting to party with that guy. You can't be the same person to ride with. Right. Because you're still going to draw me back. Yeah. And I'm not, I'm trying to move on past that. Yeah. Absolutely. I love that. But it also goes to like with you not explaining when you say you don't explain, I love that because you're also the point that goes into my next segment, which is letting people be wrong about you. Like let them be wrong. I'm fine with that. It's like, okay, they see me as that good for them. I actually kind of like that.

[00:13:47] Yeah. I don't look like the dumb ass you do. Yeah. But usually you accept the misunderstanding. A thousand percent. Yeah. You can think of me X, Y, and Z. You could say this. You could even think that I'm this person. And I'm going to allow you to hear me and telling you that I'm not. I'm not going to explain because I don't have to. Right. But I'm going to allow you to be wrong. Mm-hmm.

[00:14:16] Because it's not, I'm not going to, I'm not going to hate on you. Yeah. It's your confidence in your evolution. Man, we all, we're all changing. Yeah. Everything's changing. I know you're getting older. It's horrible. You're about you. I may be above him, but I look younger, but it's fine. Yeah. He's got a good surgeon. Yeah. It's Dr. Bradley Hubbard. Shout out. I mean, I'm not far behind shit. I'm finally at the age. I'm catching up to him that I need to start getting surgeries. No.

[00:14:45] But no, I believe in just totally to like, and that's like my tattoo right here. Protect your peace. Like one of the things now that I've learned to gain getting older is protecting your. You know, mental health is a big deal. It really is. And you don't. I'll disappear off the face of the earth for a little while if I need to just get myself right. Yeah. And I like that. And I think as humans, we need to do that because some of us get just so caught up in the realm of things. And it's like, you need to take a break. Like you need to just. It's just like social media.

[00:15:13] Everyone's just watching and gawking and everything. And sometimes you got to step away from it. Yeah. You really, really do. I mean, if, if you're, if you're always trying to please someone else and posting or trying to keep up with yourself on social media, then when do you have time for yourself? And are you actually happy? Are you just trying to be the facade for everybody else that makes them think you're happy? Right. Cause social media is a devil, like a thousand percent. But I mean, and I fully, you know, acknowledge that too.

[00:15:40] Also in my spec, because there are times on my, my Instagram. Yes. I've posted a thoughty picture a million times just to make myself feel good. But does that make you feel good when you're in real parts? You know what I'm saying? Rather than just social media, the facade. Right. Yeah. Interesting. All right. So when you've got this new healed you like, and you were actually one of the friends that told me about this. And I, I believe it. Like when you got to this new point, I feel like some people that are a part of your past

[00:16:08] feel like they deserve access to you. And not everyone deserves access to the person you've become because you've given that opportunity. It hasn't been taken properly because they're, their lifestyles don't meet anymore. And so you don't deserve access to me anymore. Like it's not, and you're, you're draining me. So I can't like, yeah. And that's hard. That's a hard conversation. And that's even hard to do. Yeah. Cause it could be somebody that you're so close with.

[00:16:38] You've been close with for years, but you have to love them at a distance. Mm hmm. Yeah. You kind of, you may not want to fully get rid of this person. You may not want to just shun this person, but loving them at a distance is key. Mm hmm. Yeah. Cause toxicity shouldn't be in your life. And if that's that person, obviously they need to be cut off. But if it's not that person, but yet they're still not growing or moving.

[00:17:07] That's when I think the distance is key because toxicity sure cut them off. Yeah. Yeah. But if they're just stuck in limbo and not moving or not able to try, well, not a distance. Yeah. And I think that too, like, it's just, that's the saddest part of growth too, is realizing some people only that love that version of you that doesn't exist. A thousand percent. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. Well, you don't, I was about to say, so my next question was like, when do you like,

[00:17:35] after you've had that conversation, when do you stop explaining yourself? After the first time. Okay. Yeah. And how do you handle people who don't see the new you? Like, well, so what new people or old people? It's different for, okay. For both like old people. So rephrase your question. How do you handle old, the people that have been in your life previously who won't see the new you? They don't want to grow.

[00:18:01] Do you just done with it, cut it off, keep them at a distance, give that opportunity again to like, come back in your life because you've seen they've grown and there's growth? Yeah. That exactly. It depends. Situational. If it's toxic, cut them off. Yeah. I've had friends that, you know, I've cut off or I can't say they've cut, I've cooked them off. And they weren't doing great. And then come fast forward 10 years, I got a buddy that just got out of prison.

[00:18:30] And he's doing amazing. He, uh, now has a wife, another kid living the sober life, doing great. And until he reached out and I, I know this, and it's not like we're just best friends. Like let's hang out. But slowly, progressively, we started talking again. Mm-hmm. Um, yeah, there, no one's, it's not an end all. It's just. A temporary.

[00:18:57] You're not safe for me or my lifestyle right now. Right. And until that changes, maybe we can meet sometime down the road. Maybe it's next life. Maybe not right now. Yeah. Yeah. Right person, wrong time. I fully believe in that. I mean. I fully believe that. So who knows? It could develop later. Mm-hmm. But you have to be strong enough to get past that person. Mm-hmm.

[00:19:27] And like, yeah, like I, it's so fun just listening to how like talking about this and how toxic labels from the past can still follow you. And when you see somebody from your past and they're like thinking it's going to be like it was before. And you're like, no, that's not. Like, no. It's never like it was before. It's not. It's never like it was before and it shouldn't be. Yeah. It should never be like it was before because you're growing. You shouldn't be like it was before. It's always changed. It should be a progressed form of it.

[00:19:55] And you know, what's funny is, so I had a reunion, a high school class reunion. We won't say how many years, but. 20. No, it wasn't. Anyways, it's 15. So, but some of those people that I still see on Facebook, like some of them there, I've allowed them to be on my social media. I would never talk to them again. You know, it is what it take it for what it is. But they were union and I was, we, I, we had Sarah from Sarah talks reality on. And she, I went to high school with her and we are some of the more successful ones out

[00:20:25] of our class with a couple of unnamed people too. But some of the people in that class are still in that old lifestyle that it just, it's energy sucking just being a friend on Facebook. And so when those people reach out to you and like, are you going, no, I purpose for my own reasons. But for main of it is I see that you're stuck in that still high school realm mindset and you don't have anything going for you. And I like to, I believe when you surround yourself with success, you can, you're building yourself with success.

[00:20:53] And so even one night could make a lot of bad things could happen in one night, but I just don't want to surround myself around that. I don't want to live in, I love the nostalgia of it. It's manifestation. Yeah. I'm past it. We're done that. And I'm, I wish well for all of you guys, but you're not on this journey with me. And you know, uh, I've gotten questions like, why didn't I go? And that's the reason I just, I don't feel I'm past that part of my life and the people that I want in my life are in my life now from that generation. You shouldn't backtrack. Yeah. I mean, it's that good. Same thing.

[00:21:23] Leaving those people and things behind, the situations. If they've caught up to your speed, even past it or surpassed you. Cool. But if they've surpassed it, I want to be friends again. Like let's learn. Why would you go backtrack? Yeah. Let me learn speed or better. Absolutely. And then I want to catch up. Yeah. And let's do this together. We can partnership. We can go on a yacht. Let's go. Perfect. Now this, I've never been to any mine either. Yeah. I don't feel the need. I love it.

[00:21:52] Like, but it goes to the whole point. Like the people that I have in the people, if you've made a mark and there's a reason you're in my life, you're in my life now. Yeah. Given this many years, 10 years ago, 15 years ago. Stretch it a little longer. Stretch it. But, but you know, it's just been, yeah, that's was one of my whole purposes. This microphone is getting my nerves. Um, but yeah. So is there anything I've got my bullet points on about this?

[00:22:20] Um, is there anything that you wanted to talk about on this specific? Uh, what growing past people and moving? Yeah. Look, he's wrong past them. Look at his arm. Oh yeah. Yeah. No. So yeah, we're, we're working on this change. Still got this back here. Um, it's going to be a blackout, some white ink. I needed a change. There were some things on my arms and memories that I needed to get past. Yeah.

[00:22:48] That, uh, we, we were all developing and growing to be hopefully better people. Absolutely. Cause our own different journey. And sometimes those chaotic changes need to happen. Yeah. Like recently I got, I got into school. I got into college. Yeah. I got back into college. Going back to school. Nurse.

[00:23:17] Oh, I'm not going to. Yeah. I don't want it not to happen. And then, you know, but ultimately I do think CRNA. Uh, I love that. Nurse anesthetist. Yeah. I'll be fucking 46 till it happens, but it's fine. Be daddy as fuck. It's fine. We'll come on more gray hairs, but it'd be fine. A couple. By that time I could pay for the die. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, I never die. No, but I, I don't know.

[00:23:46] Um, it is uncomfortable. It's like to add to it is it's uncomfortable to change. And you know, my biggest thing is if they don't benefit your life, I'm not talking about financially. I'm not talking about, you know, what they bring to the table as if they're, they're going to give you gifts or whatever. Mm hmm. I'm talking about if they make you a better person. Yeah.

[00:24:13] Or they promote you to be a better person or support you being a better person. That's the people you should have in your life. Otherwise man up and let the other ones go. Yeah. And then too, and letting those people go. Sometimes it makes them fucking realize that they're being a shit person in that situation and it, then they turn out to be better and you can rekindle. Yeah. Okay.

[00:24:38] But it doesn't make sense to me to drag along someone that is toxic for you. Yeah. And it, it, yeah, it saved that journey and just be done with it. And yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm here for it. So, okay. Hey, but guess what? Side note. My grandson's four months old. Four months. We announced almost five months. Yeah.

[00:25:05] I know I haven't been on the, I love talking about him, so I have to throw it in there. I haven't been on the episode for a while. Yeah. My grandson's, yeah, almost five months. He is. My daughter's about to graduate her senior year. My son's going into sixth grade. He's playing. Playing baseball. I'm really, really, really good at it. He's going to play his trombone. Yeah. Um, I'm getting a shit ton more tattoos. Single.

[00:25:35] Oh yeah. So guys, we're going to, I'm going to set up a profile. For him. Yeah, let's do it. I mean. Cody is single. I love love. I love love and I love being in a relationship like I said before. So not obviously jumping the gun to go. Unless you're Australian. Shut up. I mean, okay, fine. If you're Australian, hit me up. No. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. A hundred percent. Hey, I can't. Oh, and we're, we're planning on going.

[00:26:02] We're going to have to make a podcast about that, but we're planning on going to Australia in September. We're going to do a show there. Yeah. September. Yeah. I love that. Oh, it's going to be a lot of fun. Are you looking to come back married? That ain't no lie. That's, that's not, I will. What about you? Um, have you anything to add? I don't have anything to add. I'm just more excited about my, the gay icon. Oh yeah. Oh, really? I don't have my iPad. Are we going to play a game? But we're going to play a game.

[00:26:30] I don't have my iPad, but I've got these pictures saved. And so what I'm going to do is this a guessing game again. I'm going to show you pictures and then you're going to have to figure out who they are. Yeah. But I'm going to show you. Hey, I did good last time. You did. You actually won. You missed one. One or two. And, and then I'll show the page. It'll be transposed right up here. So you guys can see it. But we're going to go ahead and start the gay icon game. All right.

Anyways, thank you guys for watching. Thanks for listening. Yeah, it was fun. So, Cody, we looked at this time two years ago is when we started this show. It hasn't been that long?

[00:31:57] With audio. And I was telling them it's so funny cause when you watch... I'm not a big, big fan of RuPaul's Drag Race, but when you watch it from the beginning season and you watch the production value just grow and grow and grow. Right. And I was like, Cody, I see some of the old promos happening. I know. No, I have friends or people that are like, oh, I'm gonna watch your podcast. Well, skip to the second season. Yeah, skip to when we're on camera. The first one was pretty rough. The first one was pretty rough. And that's what we wanted part of it. That's why we did the video part was just so you could see our reactions and see the reality of it in this damn tree.

[00:32:26] But no, thank you guys. I'm so glad that we're in season three. The viewership has been amazing just since season three. We're growing. Yeah. I'm back full time. And so we both come back from Australia married. But, you know, I'll never let another relationship to stipulate where I can come on the show again. I'm telling you, you know, we say I was busy and I work a lot, but relationships sometimes stipulate you if I'm putting that out there straight. Well, and that's the best part about this is the unspoken truth. We're always going to be truly. Yeah, I am. And I will never know.

[00:32:57] So yeah, I might've been in a little stipulated, so I wasn't really able to come too much, but no full force. Let's do it. Yeah, here we go. Well, thanks again. Thanks for watching. Make sure you like subscribe and comment. Like I got our website at unspoken Dallas.com. And then of course on our social media is going to be at unspoken Dallas other than tick tock.
