Hello, swell. How are you doing on this fine Sunday? Super Bowl Sunday. As I was reminded there is a football game today. I believe the Chiefs and the Eagles are playing. I wouldn't be watching it because I have not actively watched the NFL since I was a teenager. That was back in the day when I was a part of society. I'm still a part of society, but I just don't watch football

Anyways, also, it's so funny to me that you're outside and you're recording and stuff while you're outside. It's like you're the Facebook dad of Swell, because do you know how you're outside and they just take pictures of themselves and just rank random stuff, barbecue and stuff, and your platform as well as you send one of your Swells? So it's like you're the Facebook dad, but on Swell?

Maybe a lot of people on here don't have kids maybe such as yourself, multi loyalty, college bound, no kids, whole life ahead of you, right? Whereas for me I dropped out of high school. I am a maintenance worker Janitor and I'm a father of five kids. Statistically that's it for me. A lot of people won't see any promise out of that but I think that for me is the challenge is to be myself and aspects of me are indeed a father

I kind of manage it like the Facebook ad. But you're using a ton of your platform anyway, so I understand that if it's like, as a creator on social media, it can be kind of uncomfortable that you're posting just something and people won't interact with it. But that takes some courage, doesn't it? Because it kind of affect your confidence if people don't react and you don't get interactive response
These are actually my favorite posts that you do these kind of little candid snapshots or when you're doing another more like you said, more preplanned post meant to be provocative or whatever, and then your children in the background interject. I do. I just love it. It's just a little a little glimpse into your real life and who you are in one of your roles. And I think it's still on brand. I think that you still are provocative

I really don't have anything to add to the conversation other than you think you know, but you have no idea. This is the diary of Dot dot, dot

But, yeah, I like to share all aspects of me where on Swell you can kind of be conditioned to speak in a certain way like all other swellers do. So sometimes when I'm recognizing that, I'm like, oh, it's time to shift. People are getting comfortable and I think that's the death of me when people get so comfortable with what I post that they assume I have a certain style in which how I post out here as a result

When I press that play button, do I feel like responding to him or not? I always want you to feel that way. I know everyone wants you to feel too comfortable. Like, it doesn't matter I'm responding to anything. It doesn't matter. No, that's where you can be careful because I will find a subject somehow to push your buttons to make you start to be like, I really don't like this guy. That's when the cycle repeats

The first one that popped up was Britney Spears, so it would be interesting to see what her life was. H*** yeah. 20, you know, almost 23 years ago. So when she wasn't considered, you know, mentally damaged, she was like the sexual object of desire for most of the media at the time. But thank you so much for contributing to this. Wellcast
I think that we all should. You need a little popster. Sometimes people can get caught up in that being their persona and sometimes not allow, but that's usually more in their personal life and things like that. But as far as I have no issue with that, I will make a point now to directly speak to you and I wasn't sure if your name was if it was De Juan or Dwayne and that is the main reason I have not addressed you by name

And then at this point prior, this is, I think, the first direct message you made where you mentioned my name in probably six months. And yes, I pay attention to that sort of stuff. Thank you for also what you said in terms of me having a talk show like atmosphere. Yeah, it probably can make some people feel it's certain way and then when they hear something like this, it may sound not as rehearsed, but it's really all just the same thing
Matter of fact, I left my ear pods back at this hotel where I was working, so I had to take the bus away out there, and I couldn't leave my ear pods behind. No. Yeah, man. Sounds like you had a great time with the kids. You got some McDonald's. I remember those special moments as a kid. Mom and dad taking us to McDonald's, so yeah, great times. Yeah. I remember Patrick used to take us on bike riding

Usually I default to instagram if I am going to share anything because it's just a more pure, conveying way of an experience. Whereas I think swell is like a summation of an experience or it's like a simulation of an experience. It can be direct. Yes. Right now, I am directly talking with you, but I listened to your response and I had some time to think about it before I said something

You don't want people to know what you're going to talk about next. You don't want them to get you know. Yeah. You just don't want them to know what you're going to say next. I just can't even think of anything else. And my nonchalant way of saying I'm not going to add to the conversation, please. I'm adding because I'm speaking. Right. I pressed record, started saying something
