Pearl - “Marriage Used to Be a PRIVILEGE… Now Everyone Thinks It's a RIGHT” @JustPearlyThings

00:00:00.000 So when it comes to growth or the thing that you said that was interesting is you don't really factor in when you're 20, 25 years old, you get married, where you're going to be.

00:00:12.540 Correct.

00:00:12.980 Right.

00:00:14.640 And that's true.

00:00:16.420 I didn't factor in having multiple businesses.

00:00:18.380 I didn't factor in, you know, getting a doctorate and factor in any of those things.

00:00:21.680 You know, I was just a dude on the radio.

00:00:23.300 You know, that's who my wife married.

00:00:24.880 And I'm not that guy.

00:00:25.980 I ain't been that guy in 15 years.

00:00:27.620 it's almost as if when I hear you say these things it sounds like completely absolving yourself from

00:00:34.900 it like just running the risk the more the more high value you are the more at risk you are but

00:00:40.640 you're a businessman like I'm a businessman you're doing well I mean you've got a Vietnamese tailor

00:00:45.100 I didn't know that was a thing for you bro but I'm impressed so are you saying that in business

00:00:51.140 like by that same logic we don't tell people you know don't go into business because a business is

00:00:55.980 different because there's a few things like when you fail a business like I have failed where I

00:01:01.760 was cooked you learn so much in the failure it's so freaking painful that you come back stronger

00:01:06.600 right and you come back better and you don't make the same mistakes and also the failure it's like

00:01:12.220 a few years of financial hardships child support is 18 to 20 and in some states they're trying to

00:01:18.740 extend that the majority of businesses fail you know the majority of uh partners will stab you

00:01:24.460 in the back you've had businesses fail i've had businesses fail and it absolutely sucks so why is

00:01:29.040 it okay to still go in business but not necessarily for the majority of people go into um that type of

00:01:37.000 marriage institution knowing that every human being on the planet changes i mean we both got

00:01:41.180 a lot of gray in our beard you more than me but you know i'm like right behind you that's not a

00:01:46.000 shot. That's not a shot. Greg is significantly older than me, but again, not a shot. Y'all are

00:01:55.980 taking this so long. You're being messy right now. What I'm saying is this man has a breadth

00:02:01.200 of experience. You don't know where you're going to be. I think that's anybody. Did you wake up

00:02:06.760 one day when you were married and say, you know what, one day this ain't going to work out and

00:02:11.540 I'm going to write a book called The Free Agent Lifestyle and I'm going to be on a yacht with

00:02:15.220 baddies like I don't really think that was in your purview doesn't everybody evolve and then

00:02:19.380 where do you leave room for evolution as you grow that marriage can't be a part of that because

00:02:23.780 otherwise we're going to have no society well I believe you made some assumptions that are wrong

00:02:29.580 I did at some point in my marriage think I'm gonna be on a yacht with some baddies

00:02:33.880 and what is this gonna cost because you look at the marriage and go this probably is not gonna

00:02:38.420 last very long um and at some point that might have been a better proposition for me maybe not

00:02:43.600 for you, but I probably looked at it.
