 Howdy, so I'm wearing my little jacket here got my yellow shirt Not a combination. I usually wear cuz I usually like to wear a light shirt with a dark jacket or a dark shirt with a light jacket I had a reason for it, you know change things up a little bit But we're not here talking about my wardrobe instead. I've got an interesting question for you You know, I will tell you the truth. I have tried to live my life in a way that When most people I'll tell it that way when most people might be asked So, what did you think of Mitch? You know, what do you think of Mitch or what did you think of Mitch in case? You know, I'm deceased or something happens to me. Whatever I'm hoping that people will be left with a good impression of me and we'll tell others that and That's always kind of been how I've decided to kind of live my life I mean even as a kid, you know what? I was never one of those kids who got in trouble I just didn't and I will tell you I got a lot of pleasure out of people when I met my my mother Would say, you know, he's just so well behaved and I enjoyed that because you know, that was really what I wanted You know to be not that I wanted to be what they call what it's a brown nose or anything like that It was just that I was always the one who wanted to do good I want to be you know thought of is good I wanted my friends to think of me as someone they could trust and was honest with them And cared about them and so come I'm very select on the people who actually get to be my real friends But I want other people when they see me to think you know what? This is kind of a good guy Now if you don't think I'm a good guy, then it's probably one of two things that happened one either You're a bad person and I let you know it and you didn't like it or two You're one of those people who says, you know what that guy's too good I don't trust him and I've met those people These are the same people who don't like John Cena as wrestling because they say well He's just too good and he wins all the time. These are the people who don't like Superman because Superman wins all the time He's just too good. There's nothing wrong with being good. Let me ask you a question Would you rather be thought of as someone who's good and maybe smart and maybe helpful? Or would you like to be thought of like some of those pictures that you end up seeing on Facebook where someone is so Drunk that they're just vomiting all over the place or they're being really stupid and then no one will hire them because they looked on Facebook and saw the pictures, you know What legacy do you want and people always say well? They were young and they were just out there doing whatever and they should have been allowed to have some fun Well, yeah, maybe You know, I'm not against anyone having fun being stupid and then having your friends post stuff You even posting it on social media is a stupid thing There's a guy and I don't know who this guy is by the way I can't even think of what his name is, but he is the district attorney of one of the counties in our state I think it's downstate. I'm in New York by the way and Just before the election Something came out saying that this guy had been in a couple of porno's back in the 70s And he almost lost the election I mean he was way up There was no chance other guy was going to win and then it got close because a couple of days beforehand This thing came out and he said wait, you know what? It was the 70s. I was a college kid didn't have any money I had this opportunity. I did a couple of things and just a couple and I never did it again and His opponent said well, it wasn't me who came out and said that he did this. I didn't find it really still this was 45 years later and It was a decision that he made when he was in college and didn't have much money and We didn't have social media back then almost cost him an election you know One would still hope because this guy was reelected as DA so he'd already been DA He he'd gone to school. He'd become a lawyer. He'd done this stuff You don't get elected to become the district attorney unless you've done some pretty good stuff and unless you you know You got to be a lawyer. You got to have the background to do it So this guy has done all this stuff for a long period of time and this one little thing that he did in college almost derailed his career and I thought about that because I said well when this guy finally retires and maybe he Expires Will the newspapers talk about this career that he's had as a district attorney and how he was fair and did all these other kind of Things or will they say and he almost lost an election when it turned out that he did porn You know, how do you want to be remembered? This this video is probably more for younger people But it's for folks who are my age as well because this is one of the things I talked about as it applies to social media Where people are saying these things on social media because they believe they have freedom of speech Which you do but other people don't like it and people lose their jobs from it People lose their friends and once it's out there you can try to apologize all you want to some people are gonna forgive you But not everyone will You know, I have tried to live my life so that I don't have any of those apologies I you know, this is just my thing. Do I think I've lived a perfect life? Nah No, do I think I've done anything wrong that you know could get me in trouble. No, no, I Really don't Probably done some things that someone else may say what that's wrong. You know, I mean I got a speeding ticket. I Got two speeding tickets as a matter of fact, so I guess you can't say I've let a perfect life But you know what I don't have a problem with that Because people get speeding tickets. That's just how that is. That's not a big deal But you know, I put this out there because I just want some people to think about it You know, how do you want to be perceived? in life and Are you ready to look at parts of the things? Maybe you do You know, I'm not one of those people who's against people smoking marijuana. I've never done it I've never done any drugs. I can't stand the smell, but if people want to do it I don't care except, you know what it's against the law still in most places So if you get busted for that or someone put up a picture of you guys at a party doing this Some people are gonna think that's your legacy. Well, we can't trust this person because they did that and It's unfair it to some degree, but it's there so whether you're young whether you're middle-aged or Anything else I think that more people need to think about their legacy Because once you're out here on social media The stuff never goes away So that's just my thought of the day. I'd like to know what you guys think, you know Have you thought far enough in advance to wonder, you know, some people at 16 are saying well I'm not worried about my career. You know, I'm just having fun or whatever Are you really prepared to explain that 20 years from now when someone finds it online and asks you about it? And if it keeps you from getting a job, are you okay with that? That's all I'm saying Y'all know who I am if you don't go look up the name. I will talk to you next time. Y'all take care
