The Milty's World Show

I Still Don’t Know What I Want to Be When I Grow UpWhen I was four years old, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.I wanted to be Pee-wee Herman.Okay, technically I wanted to be an actor. A comedian. An entertainer.I was obsessed with comedy. I’d hear Johnny Carson coming on TV from my bedroom and run down the hallway. I stayed up to watch Arsenio Hall. I wanted to be in movies and TV shows. I wanted to perform.Mostly, I wanted to make people laugh.Then somewhere along the way, that simple answer became complicated.We’re taught that eventually we’re supposed to pick something.Go to school. Pick a major. Get a career. Get a job. Then when somebody asks what you do, you’re supposed to have a nice little one-sentence answer.But I’ve never really had one.I’m 41 years old, I’ve worked 11 jobs across seven different industries, and I still have a ridiculously long list of things I want to do.I want to make people laugh.I want to interview interesting people.I want to make movies.I want to make cooking shows and travel videos.I want to make cartoons.I want to try stand-up.And I want to make weird shit I haven’t even thought of yet.For most of my life, I thought that meant I had a problem focusing.Now I’m starting to wonder if I was simply asking myself the wrong question.The podcast isn’t the dream.YouTube isn’t the dream.A movie isn’t the dream.Stand-up isn’t the dream.Making people laugh, telling stories, creating things and bringing people together—that’s the dream.Milty’s World is me giving myself permission to explore all of it.Maybe the question was never:“What do I want to be?”Maybe the better question is:“What do I want to make?”And I have a whole lot of answers for that.Maybe you’re 30, 40, 50 or older and you still don’t know what you want to be when you grow up.Maybe you don’t have to.Maybe we’re not supposed to spend our entire lives being just one thing.Maybe we’re supposed to keep becoming whatever it is we’re becoming.I’m 41 years old. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.And for the first time in my life, I don’t think I need to.Chapters00:00 What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?00:05 At Four Years Old, I Knew00:09 I Wanted to Be Pee-wee Herman00:23 I Wanted to Make People Laugh00:29 Johnny Carson, Arsenio Hall & Comedy01:09 I Knew What I Wanted to Do01:14 Then the Simple Answer Got Complicated01:33 I’m 41 and I Still Don’t Know01:43 I Don’t Want to Be Just One Thing01:48 Everything I Still Want to Make02:09 I Want to Try Stand-Up02:22 The Weird Shit I Haven’t Thought of Yet02:26 Why I Thought This Was a Problem02:40 We’re Taught to Pick Something02:47 What Do You Do?03:05 How Much Time You Got?03:12 I Thought I Couldn’t Focus03:16 11 Jobs in Seven Industries03:20 Maybe There’s Another Explanation03:29 Hold On, There’s a Car Coming03:35 The Thing Connecting All of It03:49 The Podcast Isn’t the Dream04:00 What the Dream Actually Is04:04 What Milty’s World Really Means04:09 Giving Myself Permission to Make Anything04:39 I Don’t Want Milty’s World to Be One Show04:46 Maybe It Took Me 41 Years to Understand This04:56 Maybe I Was Asking the Wrong Question04:59 What Do I Want to Make?05:05 Maybe You’re Like This Too05:13 Maybe You Don’t Have to Choose05:21 We’re Supposed to Keep Becoming05:27 I Still Don’t Know What I Want to Be⸻Welcome to Milty’s World.Comedy, commentary, conversations, stories, experiments—and whatever else I decide to make next.Sometimes it’s funny.

I’m Giving Myself 10 Years to Make This WorkI’m 41 years old, and I’m giving myself 10 years to see how far I can take this.Not because I hate my life. I don’t.I love my wife. I love my kids. I’m grateful for my home and my job. I have responsibilities and people who depend on me.I’m not trying to escape my life.I’m trying to find abundance in it through expression.Somewhere along the way, we get the idea that dreaming has an expiration date.At 18, you can tell people you want to become an actor, comedian, filmmaker, musician or entrepreneur and people tell you to go for it.At 41, you’re supposed to have already figured everything out.I don’t buy that anymore.I have a full-time job, an hour commute, two kids, a wife, bills and a house to maintain. And in the leftover pieces of my day, I’m trying to build Milty’s World and an entertainment career.Sometimes I wonder if I should give up.Sometimes I wonder if anybody is ever going to watch.And I’m realistic enough to know that spending the rest of my life doing something that clearly isn’t working isn’t the answer either.So I made a deal with myself.10 years. From 41 to 51.But I need proof along the way. I need to see the audience growing. I need to see the videos improving. I need to see people coming back. The goal isn’t to spend a decade doing the same thing unsuccessfully—it’s to keep learning, experimenting and evolving until I figure out what works.Maybe years from now there are 5,000 people here.Maybe 500,000.Maybe five million.Or maybe I’m still sitting in this room trying to figure out thumbnails.That’s why I’m recording this.It’s a timestamp.This is where I was at 41: working a regular job, raising two children, trying to be a good husband and dad, making videos whenever I could find the time, and trying to give the four-year-old version of myself a chance to make his dream a reality.I don’t know if I’m going to make it.Working hard doesn’t guarantee that anybody’s dream will come true.But there is one outcome I can control:If this doesn’t work, it won’t be because I didn’t give it everything I’ve got.So I’m documenting it.The wins. The failures. The videos nobody watches. The ones that suddenly take off. The stupid ideas. The good ideas. The moments when I think I’ve figured everything out—and the moments immediately afterward when I realize I don’t know jack.If you’re watching this years from now, look at the date.This is where I stopped wondering whether it could happen and actually tried to find out.Chapters00:00 I’m Giving Myself 10 Years00:29 I’m Grateful for the Life I Have00:41 I’m Not Trying to Escape My Life00:52 Does Dreaming Have an Expiration Date?01:16 What Happens When You’re 41?01:36 I Don’t Want to Be 70 Wondering “What If?”01:42 Building a Dream With a Full-Time Life02:06 The Leftover Pieces of My Day02:14 Why Don’t You Just Give Up?02:37 People Depend on Me02:50 How Long Am I Willing to Do This?03:07 I Made a Deal With Myself03:16 I Need Proof Along the Way03:46 10 Years Doesn’t Mean 10 Years of Failing04:06 I Have No Idea Where This Ends Up04:12 What If You’re Watching This Years From Now?04:43 This Video Is a Timestamp05:03 Giving the Four-Year-Old Me a Chance05:11 What Did You Think You’d Become?05:38 Who Decided It Was Too Late?05:53 I Don’t Know If I’m Going to Make It06:25 There’s One Outcome I Can Control06:38 From 41 to 5106:47 I’m Going to Document Everything07:09 If You’re Watching This Years From Now…07:19 This Is Where I Decided to Find Out⸻Welcome to Milty’s World.Comedy, commentary, personal stories and experiments from a guy trying to build the life he imagined while still living the life he already has.Sometimes it’s funny.

I should have started this 23 years ago.Back in 2003, my friends and I were already making movies, characters, comedy and whatever other weird stuff we could think of. We were kids from Southwest Georgia trying to make people laugh.Then life happened.I grew up as a pastor’s kid, and for a long time I believed becoming a pastor was the path I was supposed to follow. I got married. We had kids. I worked at four churches, each bigger than the last. Eventually I had what looked from the outside like success.But somewhere along the way, the dream I had when I was younger faded into the background.And 23 years went by.Now I’m 41. I have a regular job, an hour commute each way, a family that needs me and nowhere near enough time to do everything I want to do.So naturally, I decided this was the perfect time to try anyway.That’s what Milty’s World is.I make videos about whatever I can’t stop thinking about: being a dad, getting older, money, God, aliens, technology, traffic, comedy, ice cream and whatever other ridiculous thing gets stuck in my head.Sometimes it’s funny. Sometimes it’s serious. Usually it’s both.And I’m building it in public.I’m giving myself 10 years to find out how far one guy from South Georgia, living in East Tennessee, can take an idea he refuses to let die.Maybe it becomes something enormous.Maybe it doesn’t.But I’m not going to be 51 wondering what would have happened if I had started at 41.This is Milty’s World.I’m building the thing I should have built a long time ago.And you’re going to get to watch it happen.Chapters00:00 I Should Have Started 23 Years Ago00:43 Growing Up a Pastor’s Kid01:24 Was It a Calling—or Guilt?01:46 The Person I Really Was Kept Showing Up02:37 Life Kept Moving Forward02:55 I Finally “Made It”03:17 Somewhere Along the Way, My Dream Faded03:42 23 Years Went By04:13 I’m Going to Run Out of Life04:19 Building Milty’s World Anyway04:44 I Make Videos About Whatever I Can’t Stop Thinking About05:13 I’m Building It in Public05:38 The Person You Thought You’d Become06:18 Who I’m Making This For06:58 That’s the Experiment07:02 I’m Giving Myself 10 Years07:25 I Won’t Spend Another 23 Years Wondering07:49 This Is Milty’s World⸻Welcome to Milty’s World.Comedy, commentary, personal stories and experiments from a guy trying to figure out life while building something of his own.If you’ve ever wondered whether you waited too long to become the person you thought you were going to be, stick around.We’re going to find out.#MiltysWorld #StartingOver #NeverTooLate

🍨 We Got That at the House! | Is Target Becoming a Giant Rite Aid?

Today I’m making a ridiculously good strawberry cheesecake ice cream creation while talking about something I noticed during a trip to Target… what happened to the place?

Has retail become the “Temuification” of shopping? Empty shelves, bland clothing, questionable quality, and higher prices than ever. While I build an ice cream dessert with graham crackers, walnuts, and peanut butter, we take a detour into the strange evolution of big-box stores.

And yes… the final creation absolutely smacks.

👇 What’s your take?
Has Target changed over the last few years, or am I imagining things? Let me know in the comments!

No script. No outline. No plan.My wife and I spontaneously drove to Washington, D.C. for the Fourth of July hoping to see the fireworks. Instead, we got caught in the rain, missed the show, and ended up discovering something far more meaningful.Along the way we met people from around the world, explored our nation’s capital for the first time, and I came away with a perspective on America, unity, and human nature that I wasn’t expecting.Sometimes the story you were looking for isn’t the one you end up telling.If this resonates with you, leave a comment and let me know what you took away from it.⸻Chapters00:00 Happy Fourth of July!

Now everybody has a policy, a boundary, and a situationship they will not explain.Milty sits down with comedian Vinny — a 27-year-old navigating the post-app dating apocalypse — and the gap between 41 and 27 has never been more hilariously obvious. We are talking body counts, bill splitting, dating apps, social media, and the unwritten rules nobody agreed to but everybody enforces.Then Vinny tells us about a date that brought her 17-year-old son. A son who had a full-on life crisis. At a pool party. And somehow the night still ended with the question: split the bill?This is what happens when two generations try to make sense of modern dating and realize nobody actually knows what they’re doing.🎙️ Connect with Vinny:Personal IG: @vinnydawg1999Comedy IG: @cartoon24comedy🌍 Welcome to Milty’s World.
