Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway.
How do you get over a heartbreak? How do you deal with a breakup?
This is what I tell people. I say breaking up is easier to do when you're the one who wanted to do the breaking up. But it's when the other person wants to break up, and you're not ready for that relationship to end. That's when it gets hard, Rod, because it's easy to be like, man, I ain't happy no more. You don't find somebody else out there to look a little bit more attractive, got a little bit, blah, blah, blah. But when all of a sudden she say, well, Rod, I ain't happy here no more, and you know what I think is best, that we go our certain way. Now, babe, hold on, what can I do now? That I wasn't doing before?
**Rod Wave** (0:39)
I don't know, dog. I ain't never been in that situation.
**Shannon Sharpe** (0:42)
Then you ain't never been heart broke?
**Rod Wave** (0:44)
Yeah, I done been heart broke, but let me think back. I ain't never been in a situation to where I was like, we didn't mutually agree to go our separate ways. I ain't never been in that kind of situation to where I was like.
**Shannon Sharpe** (0:55)
How do you mutually agree? Y'all came up at the same time, since you said, I want to sit down, I want to talk to you. I want to talk to you too. Well, I think it's best we go out separate ways. Well, I think it's best we go out separate ways too.
**Rod Wave** (1:04)
Yeah, because if you think that, then it's time to get up out of here anyway. So that's what's gonna help me get up out of here. Because if you already thinking that, there's nothing gonna do for me to try to keep you, try to make you change your mind. That's already inside of your heart and your mind. You can't do nothing. So that's just gonna help me bring me up to speed.
So if you get ready to go before I am, then that's what's gonna make me ready. I'm gonna be ready then. Because that's just the reality. That's just what, if she ready to get up out of here, that's gonna bring me up to speed. It's time to go. God damn. It might hurt. Yeah.
Yeah, it might hurt, but man, like I said, bro, nothing belonged to us, bro. It's always just your turn, dog. Damn, Rod. That's just the reality, bro. But it took me a long time to get this, you know what I'm saying? Because I used to clean up. I used to be real.
**Shannon Sharpe** (1:56)
I don't want to be my turn. I wanted to be mine.
**Rod Wave** (1:58)
It ain't none of yours.
It ain't none of yours, man. I just did my, for the first time, I did my, I did my will and my trust and stuff like that. And my estate planning down to your watches, bruh.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:17)
Yeah, who get what? I mean, yeah.
**Rod Wave** (2:19)
Who get what?
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:20)
Yep, the Zubo rings, the jerseys. Who get it?
**Rod Wave** (2:23)
So that show you that ain't nothing, never yours. What you think yours.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:28)
And the thing is, what I've learned is that what I value.
**Rod Wave** (2:31)
A person. Damn show ain't yours.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:34)
Man, please.
**Rod Wave** (2:35)
I'm just saying, like, that might be your person in that time of your life. I ain't trying to raid on nobody parade or whatever, beating the negative nancy like they always try to make me to be.
But that's just how I got over it.
**Shannon Sharpe** (2:46)
That's how I react.
**Rod Wave** (2:47)
Once I got old enough to look at it and once I got old enough to, like, that was the way I had to grasp it because I used to take it real hard and I used to let it affect my worth. I used to let it affect me. So that was the way I had to tell myself and train my brain.
Ain't nothing or nobody, never yours. They don't belong to you.
**Shannon Sharpe** (3:14)
But it took you dealing with heartbreak to realize that, hold on, I allowed this person to get me out of who I am. Now all of a sudden, I can't work like I'm supposed to. I'm not the Rod that I'm supposed to be around my friends and family.
**Rod Wave** (3:25)
But it made me a better person also because now I realize, you know what, nothing belongs to you. You don't own nothing. So you should treat it that way. You should treat it like it's a privilege to be with somebody. You should treat somebody like, you know what, you're feeling me out of my feeling, you're a person, I'm a person. Just because I got the money and I got the most going on in life, don't mean that because you got it going on too. So it helped me.
