Hi, it's me James Junior.
It's fifty plus not live here on JILJ

2
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:11.759
Media, and I have my fan
blowing on me because it's just hot as

3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:16.239
f here in Los Angeles, um, and I'm hanging in there as usual.

4
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.559
I always come to you guys to
talk to you about life, to

5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.359
share the thoughts are on my mind
on this show. So the show is

6
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.719
kind of about sharing thoughts comical and
otherwise by my life share with you,

7
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.879
and then you guys have been so
wonderful to respond and share parts of your

8
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.880
life with me. In terms of
what I talk about, being fifty plus

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.520
is not easy. Sometimes so it's
really easy and signs of nothing. At

10
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.479
other times it's not easy. And
I've talked about dating on the show and

11
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.799
other shows for a lot. I've
talked about sex but lack of it.

12
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.320
Let's talk about all kind of stuff
on these shows. And because in Sport

13
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.280
I talk about wait. I've talked
about age. I've talked about family,

14
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.799
my mom, I step dad,
talked about by Bills Pauliar. They're talk

15
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.479
about everything on the show, and
I'm gonna continue doing that. It's not

16
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.280
always that's what I always do.
I continue doing that. My frenel polish,

17
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.560
which is I need to get you
to get better ones whatever. Um,

18
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.680
but it's not everything on here,
and I just it's been kind of

19
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.159
actually cathartic for me on some level, just to share my thoughts. And

20
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.319
it's a time capsule where I'm at, so I know life isn't static and

21
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.879
things change. So it's why I
never say never to anything. But there

22
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.799
are things. I'm getting tired and
I'm done, and for me, I

23
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:34.319
am retiring the whole dating thing.
I'm retiring at I in LA. It's

24
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.239
just it's just not working for me
whatsoever. I don't know. I feel

25
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:42.120
like it's me. Um. I'm
no problem making friends. I have no

26
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.760
problem making acquaintances. I a problem
making colleagues. I have so many wonderful

27
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:53.480
new adventures happening professionally and friendship wise. But nothing romantic, nothing sexual,

28
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.439
nothing at all. Nothing. I've
tried the apps apparently I must. It's

29
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.680
it's one of those things when you
start looking into yourself and go, okay,

30
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:06.519
let's see at this age, UM, I was started talking to my

31
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.039
sister who's around my age. Q. They're just things that were so important

32
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:15.159
that just lose importance to get older. It maybe guess you're older understand this,

33
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.439
but your fifties. But there are
things you want, but you mean

34
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:23.039
I have the same energy to put
out for them. And also sometimes there's

35
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:29.680
things where you realize it's you.
Sometimes it is you. And so many

36
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.680
guys are so wonderful and nice and
been so supportive on this journe that some

37
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.680
friends have been wonderful. But I'm
getting to that point. At this point

38
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.000
of my life right now, I'm
gonna I need to focus on my jobs.

39
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.479
I need to focus my careers.
I'm you know about my mom.

40
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.199
I have a house here, I'm
trying to get together a guard and someone

41
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.840
stole my tree in my yard.
I'm trying. I got so I mean

42
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.639
looking around. I haven't even made
my bed in like three days because I

43
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.240
lost all the sheets. But I'm
so tired. I even met my bed.

44
00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:00.639
I have projects. I'm working on
books, music, I have some's

45
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.400
going on. Even I would love
to fly in love. I'd love to

46
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.319
have somebody. Um. I thought
I found a couple of people that didn't

47
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.360
work out that way. Um,
But I'm just like, in terms of

48
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.400
trying to even get to you a
dating situation, I'm tired of talking about

49
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.639
So I'm retired. I talk about
dating no more. I'm not talking about

50
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.599
sex anymore. Well, I mean
I'll make fun of course on shows.

51
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.400
But I am I am as of
today, which is we see this July

52
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.000
twenty first, like twenty three cord
of this, I am. I'm out.

53
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.840
I'm out any of the apps about
any stuff. I am done getting

54
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:39.080
to be depressed and stressing out over
um trying to find somebody. I'm just

55
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.400
done. I'm totally done. And
there you go. I'm I'm just letting

56
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.159
it go because I feel like it's
me and that's what's going on. I'm

57
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.120
a common denominator, So don't feel
sorry for me like that. It's not

58
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.319
not that. I just I just
I'm very honest. It has to be

59
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.639
me. If I'm not I'm doing
meeting people all the time, I'm not,

60
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.439
so it has to be me,
clearly, So let it. I'm

61
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.159
letting it go, and it's just
it's funny. And then in some ways

62
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.479
it's wonderful. As you get older, you get to know more about yourself,

63
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.879
whether you mean until the people are
not as through a story, but

64
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.039
you know, I tell I tell
everything, So I mean I'm always like

65
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.360
I'm find things out about myself.
I am not perfect. I never said

66
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.279
I am, never said I was. Um, I know what I can

67
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.160
do, I know what I'm capable
of, I know what I I know

68
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.439
what I like and I don't like
all those kind of things. UM.

69
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:28.160
And so it's that part's free,
that part's kind of okay. I'm getting

70
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:30.279
into who I am these days,
and I who I am and who I

71
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.120
and who I'm not. Um,
I know what I'm willing to do,

72
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.439
what I'm willing not to do.
And it's just it's in the long run,

73
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.279
no, everybody's be fine, whether
I'm dating or hospital life. The

74
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.839
world's will keep turning. It's like, I know what they're gonna stop because

75
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.160
I'm not. I'm not. I'm
not dating or anything. But for those

76
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.800
guys out there who are older and
who are kind of who I'm maybe in

77
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.120
the same boat as I am,
I understand your frustrations. I understand anything

78
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.519
by side look at myself. You
should look at yourselves first, see what's

79
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.639
going on, it was anything you're
doing to any blockages or anything you have

80
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.560
going on, look yourself honestly and
you know, and if it's not you,

81
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.160
there's not you. You know then
you know, maybe it's the city

82
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.040
you live in, maybe it's maybe
it's who you're looking for all that stuff,

83
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.240
And so I advocate always checking in
with yourself, and that's actually a

84
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.519
bigger issue for me. I'm always
checking in with myself and seeing where I'm

85
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.800
at in life, what am I
doing, What's going on? How am

86
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.759
I handling things? And I was
like, this year, most guys know,

87
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.759
this year has been a very emotional, stressful year for me. It

88
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.240
has been I'm when I go to
a doctor, Nick speaking, it's gonna

89
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.639
be like maybe like you're high blooper, you have high blood pressure? Yes,

90
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.839
I do, because I so much
stress going on my life. I

91
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.120
can't even it was crazy, But
that's exciting stuff coming a second half of

92
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.279
there's kind of stilly up for a
second half of twenty twenty three, and

93
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:54.360
it began twenty twenty four, so
we'll see how that goes. But we

94
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.600
are retiring at James is now where
it's my gabble, there's my gab Well,

98
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:16.800
gabble. James is done and he's
out anyway, that's that. And I

99
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.000

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:28.399

103
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:39.000
