00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:04.320
Hello, sir, thank you,
sir, my god, sir, Sir

2
00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:08.839
Sarah, Sir, mister Lott,
mistert who that who miss the lot?

3
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.599
Who's sir? I'm James and James's
fifty plus right now in a month of

4
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:19.320
January. It is a audio only
series at the moment, Here are you

5
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.960
find where you find fine audio podcasts. The first time I can't remember the

6
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.399
first time I was called sir or
missed a lot, but it was definitely

7
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:35.200
in the nineties, late nineties.
As I'm getting older and for some people

8
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.520
it's a terminal to just say mister
or whatever, just like this. I

9
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:42.759
mean, that's fine, but I
feel so young. I'm a grandfather of

10
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.119
five, so I don't know,
I just feel so young. But it's

11
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:49.439
just sold, sir, mich long
lost my father, which a lot of

12
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:55.320
my uncles. But I'm I'm Jbie. You're like youth, I see you

13
00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:00.600
know some people I don't know.
It's just it's yeah, it's just it's

14
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:12.319
titles. Titles are It can be
important sometimes also for people who are very

15
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:23.040
much prone to talking to people,
uh gay respect from the South. A

16
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.439
lot of times it's a lot more
of certain cultures, a lot more of

17
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.680
the yes sir, yes, ma'am. How the star helmet, you know,

18
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:38.280
like that kind of thing. It's
just gonna be you know interesting.

19
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.359
I was just like, I don't
I just feel old. It's because I

20
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.680
know, I know age and one
the number blah blah. But when you're

21
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.239
the age when they it just feels
older. You know, everybody is younger

22
00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.480
than you are. It's so crazy. Everybody's they're just younger. And that's

23
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.680
just and so I should take it
as you're an elder statesman. Now I

24
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.280
was a young ANGENEU. Now I'm
the older statesman. I'm you know,

25
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.639
there's there's some respect that people have
with my name a little bit that they

26
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.240
didn't have if I was younger.
I mean, it's just kind of how

27
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.719
it is, the hierarchy mentality.
Hello. So I don't know, it's

28
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:27.080
just it's still hard get used to. I dream with the titles of course,

29
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.840
like doctor a lot and I have
Doctor in Divinity and things like that.

30
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.039
I'm so used to that too.
It's like these are all like it's

31
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.000
just it's overwhelming. It's like,
really, I just I just want to

32
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.360
be James. I don't want to
be sir or thank you sir, thank

33
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.159
you for shopping here, sir,
or the one it counts boss a boss

34
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:49.719
Boss Boss Boss boss Boss, which
is another tour dem dearman. There's some

35
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.439
other ones that don't mind, like
King, you know, we love you

36
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.199
King. That's cute. I like
that a lot. Of course, with

37
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.240
the territory, I get the daddy
and all that, and grahams a lot

38
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.400
of stuff. So I mean,
done it with my failure from people who

39
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.479
you know, younger, and I'm
used to that to you now at this

40
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:12.039
point, but I just know that
it's gonna get worse. I have gray

41
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.159
in my beard. Someone told me
today on a dating app I was very

42
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:21.159
distinguished looking and they were forty eight
and I'm fifty four. I'm like,

43
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.879
dang it, I am older.
I know. I know for some women

44
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.240
it's really tough to hear ma'am a
little bit. I'm not a ma'am.

45
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.520
It does connelte that you're that you're
older. I mean, we're lucky to

46
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.919
be here, We're lucky to actually
be able to talk and all that.

47
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:43.400
So I guess I guess. You
know, the alternat is very final,

48
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.199
and they say, try about trying
to do that. So I'm like,

49
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:54.240
so it's kind of like, okay, you know, you you move a

50
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.400
little slower, move a little differently. You start to do a lot more

51
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.000
monologues. To get older, you
try to be a little more honor.

52
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.800
We get older and frumpy, and
they just they're just like, yeah,

53
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:11.520
it's like we're gonna be out right. I wants it's hilarious because I'm being

54
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.479
older, and in my family especially, I'm one of the elder span I

55
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.839
really want an elder statesman in my
profession. I'm one of the elder statesmen

56
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.120
in my career, like I'm one
of the elders. It's just kind of

57
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.720
it's it's you were stuff long enough, and that's what happens, and you

58
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.800
become one of that. You become
one of the endgame becomes you. You

59
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.720
become the one. So I tried
to get as children, dear man,

60
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:38.040
I mean, you won't get any
younger, and you know, it's just

61
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.240
kind of how it is. I
guess trying to deal with that. I

62
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.040
mean, we called ma'am, they
we called sir out there. I don't

63
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.240
correct people when they do it.
I just it's just it's children. They're

64
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:54.839
being told me polite, and I
don't I don't, I don't say nothing.

65
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.279
My titles of Daddy, Daddy,
Kin's, Papa, Jamie and that

66
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.319
I love those go Jamie, I
love that's Uncle James, all all that

67
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:09.639
though, any of those works for
me because that's those are titles I like,

68
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.000
